We're back. We're back after a very, very
long. Time, ladies and gentlemen, I am
late again. Again.
It has been a very crazy time for me.
I'm sorry, but we're we're back. We're about to get lit.
Oh shit. It's good to be back.
It is good to be back. It has been sketchy again.
Once again I must apologise to all the peoples for my
tardiness, for my inconsistencies, for everything.
I apologise, I apologise. What are you guys saying on this
lovely Saturday evening? We're going to get saucy and
talk about a myriad of different things.
I missed last a Saturday show, wasn't feeling well and I was
running around knackered and I will be like that until the next
middle of June. After that the channel gets a
tetanus shot back to normality and then some.
I'm not chatting shit this time. Before we start, well let me
just give a shout out to everyone in the chat.
Oh man, it feels feels good to do this again.
I know we're backing up on other shows but I'm sorry I'm late but
I was driving back home from Central.
Had a monster to give me energy to do this.
Monster fucking ruined my stomach and then I had
diarrhoea. Shout out to the game adaptation
newscast E ranks Good to see you Otaku Shaku says GTA6 marketing
on the world's most powerful console are about to go
generational. What funds and gaming just James
good to see you man. Has Xbox ally Skittles with the
right message. There's F consoles, PCs, King
Lutrods. Good to see you, man.
Is this a Saturday show? Nice.
Oh, shit. I deserve that.
We've got Vince, Iron Storm,
Random Abby. Good to see you, Eldrick.
Oh, shit. I just.
Oh, I just messed up. Oh, my God.
AC too cold. Cage the cunning linguist.
That's a nice name. 187 up in here, Mitch.
Xbox officially dead. Woo Hoo.
That's a wicked name. What are you guys saying?
Sorry, Charles. I have been inconsistent like a
piece of shit, but we're we're we're going to make some memes
there. A lot has happened in my
absence. We live, we live, right?
How do we tackle these topics there?
There has been a change in the landscape for some reason.
Xbox fans are now reinvigorating.
Is there hope? Is there hope?
There is some hope. Asha Sharma what?
Ever since she's come up with the scene, the whole energy is
starting to shift. But the sensible amongst you
will approach this shift in energy and the the entry of this
new leader of Xbox with some degree of pessimism, or cautious
optimism I should say. But she has been doing the right
moves. Whether these moves are big or
small, they all vary. A lot of it is messaging, a lot
of it is real things. But the question, the question
marks still remains. Asha Shawarma.
Abby says she is the chosen one with my fan down there.
She doesn't ruin the noise. Yes.
Epic trash. Good to see you.
Is the camera OK? Oh, shit.
I'm blurry. Yeah, yes, good to see you.
Epic Treasure saw a lot of beef going down about this new game
we will talk about in a bit. This game is this year is
cracked out. Like you can complain all you
want and strategies blah blah, blah, but the reality is this
game is already kicking off to be an incredible year for gaming
with so many good games that it's just a fucking hard time to
even catch up to find time to play and finish your backlog.
And that's before the big ones really start to laugh.
And and it's amazing. It's amazing here for gaming.
If you're you're out there just whinging all the time, I don't
know what to say to you. And there's a lot of whinging
going on all the time. But especially about now lately,
indie title that's free on Game Pass or free on Game Pass.
So yeah, like, it's just like, what the fuck are they people
crying about? And it will get into that before
Iron Storm's got a new PC. Well done.
Welcome to the master race. I wonder what PC specs they are?
Let us know in the chat. So first of all, there's a new
Xbox logos come out. Everyone's like, Oh yeah, new
logo. And I'll be honest, there's a
lot of cringe when it comes to the some of the discourse around
it. Anytime Ashley Sharma takes a
shit, fans are like, she's the queen, yes, Queen, yes.
And I just think, like, all right, you guys need to relax a
little bit. Yeah, like, I know she's doing
stuff, but the parasocial stuff is real.
Although Fonz Fonzarelli Gaming had a really good a bit of
insight, he managed to pull out an old clip.
And I remember these moments where the where the PlayStation
guys say, oh, parasocial, this and that.
Rightfully so. But the reason why they're not
parasocial is because PlayStation doesn't even take a
shit on them. Any politics, PlayStation
constantly shits on them, but they won't touch them because
they've they've seen what they like in real life.
But Fonz shared a clip of an old clip, and it was Andrew House or
someone else on stage, and there was this guy going, yeah.
Fucking yeah. Yes, we love you PlayStation
nation. I remember when they was the
they said PlayStation nation and the PlayStation crowd and
they're all like yes, going wild and now they want to pretend.
They want to pretend because this, the lot of the PlayStation
content creators would literally suck the from the back to get
half the treatment they get from the Xbox guys, the Xbox camp and
how they funnel or buy the favour.
I should say with a lot of the Xbox camp, you have to be quite
vigilant in not letting that influence you.
But it was funny. I mentioned that that was quite
funny that Fonz brought that clip up and I realised, hold on
a minute, he's right this whole time PlayStation experience back
in 2014 to 2017, Rest in peace. And they cancelled that because
they realised, oh, these guys don't shower.
These guys are fucking weird and the PlayStation guys are weird.
I'm sorry, the fanboys I'm talking, I'm not obviously
normal people, but parasocial stuff.
We don't really like that here. And but you know, Xbox this
week, Asha Sharma comes out, Ray Frank, a disclosure on a few
things. But before that we'll have to
look at oh, wait, wait, where is it?
Let me get my transitions faded and then you'll see the new logo
that graces your ex. I don't know if this I'm not.
I'm not on Series X console, I'm on the PC.
Must race. But this is the the thing that
will greet you in your next time you boot up your console.
Shout out to Asha Sharma, that's your thing to play again.
What a epic. That's it.
Well done to Asha Sharma. She's making memes.
Obviously the music. I wish you could update that
music. I wish you could replace the
music so you could play. What's that?
I was to see that. Let me read that out.
OK. Shit.
Yeah. Oh, I need to add that as a
topic. Thank you so much for that
Illuminati. Yeah.
So shout out to Punjabi MC and shout out to Xbox for changing
the boot up screen. Yeah.
But I will be honest with you. It looks nice.
It's it's a nice logo. It it's taken away.
One of the issues we had was the assimilation of my Xbox into my
windows was so obvious, the bland nature of it, that
faceless Corp, just disgusting shit.
And then you've got this really nice, you know, really a simple
design by Hawkins. Back to the old style.
You know, modern designs are so sterile.
This goes back to the translucent green minor thing at
the end. At the end of the day, it's not
something you should lose your shit on, but at least they're
getting their image, starting to get their image right and then
hopefully they'll get the name right because that's another
thing that's Xbox that's been struggled with absolutely shit
naming conventions for their consoles.
So hopefully that will happen. That will happen.
We'll see. Chicken tikka shama, yes.
Oh shit, yes, absolutely. But yeah, they where was the
where was the chat? Bobby said.
Good to see you, man Illuminati. Illuminati gas.
OK, I want to talk about that in a bit actually.
That's interesting. We have to figure out what's
going on Xbox, however, Xbox, however, despite having a nice
logo, didn't have a very good set of revenue stats.
These are looking terrible Shadow to inside a gaming.
Yeah, we wrapping them. We wrapping it right hand side
of gaming. Xbox revenue falls in the latest
Microsoft earnings report and you know what happens?
Everyone's wondering, well, what the fuck again, what's going on
Xbox? Why are they doing it?
Why are they bringing go? Even PlayStation can't feed you,
they said you can't feed you. Is it worth it?
And there were two caps. One was saying well if they
dropped it they wouldn't get even less revenue.
Fine, but what's your play here? You have a short sighted view.
If you want to rectify the brand, there is one answer, 1
answer only. And it's coming from people that
actually told you the fact they aren't.
You know what it is, I don't even need to say it.
I don't even know you need to say it.
But ultimately, here's the result of Xbox down revenue 10%
from its previous quarter, which is also down.
If I remember correct, Xbox revenue was 5.34 billion, down
from 5.72 billion at this time last year.
So they were down last year and they're down again.
Consistent growth is a key pillar issue for Asha Sharma.
Part of her strategy to revitalise Xbox is, is simply
that restoring the brand name. And how the hell do you think
you're going to do that when you're straddling this weird
line and there's one solution and you know it?
Iron Storm is getting an odd RTX 1960XT16 gigs, Verizon five 7600
FA 2 gig DDL five 7500 Horizon just got a 59.
No, but it's it's good. It's good.
Oh, sorry. What?
That's the thingy. Yeah.
A 9800 X 3D and you're laughing. I reach out to BDMS. I'll I'll
give you a sick one. No, just kidding.
How much does that cost? You've got a Ryzen 550, how does
that weigh up against the 1900 XD 3?
And how's the 1960 XT? I'm not an AMD fan, I'll be
honest with you. Actually no, I'm an AMD fan, but
not in terms of their cards. Ray tracing is really important
and I know they're catching up, but I need that sweet goodness.
I need AMD to catch up. I'm not one of those.
I know it's Alex freaking bums by the way, that it's like, oh,
it has to be AMD. If it's NVIDIA, I'm not touching
it. I know NVIDIA is not the best of
companies in the world. I don't give a shit about the
brands within them, but I need them to kick to kick up.
I need Intel to pick up. Intel doing this mid Gen, mid,
mid level, mid level stuff I don't give a shit is a solid
build. Stop shaming.
I'm not shaming him. I'm not shaming him.
I'm not shaming him at all. I'm not shaming him at all.
That's a beast PC. That's a beast PC.
Luke is laughing. He's like fuck off.
No, no, no. Oh you spent 1500 to what?
He spent £1500 on it. I thought I'm not shaming you,
I'm not shaming you. It's good for upscale 1440P.
That's fine. I'm a Dick.
I'm not doing that anymore but
Luke Steel, you know. But Ironstorm, you are set.
I need you to get your PC and explain to me the goodness.
Can that PC run Cyberpunk with path tracing?
OK, anyway, what was I talking about?
Oh yes, we're talking about Xbox stats.
Fucking shit. So we want, we want, we are
wanting to see Xbox return to growth next year.
And so we've got work to do. That's what Asha Sharma says.
I saw that and people like, oh, she's so forthcoming.
She's so honest. Yeah, we are the fucking going
to dress up this kind of shit though.
There's no way. There's no way you can dress it
up. There's no silver bullets, and
our focus is going to be how many players are playing every
single day in the Xbox ecosystem.
Well, you've blown the freaking Xbox ecosystem definition wide
open, which basically means Xbox games on PlayStation.
That's part of the ecosystem. Why shouldn't it be?
I guess fine, but. Hmm.
Xbox hardware revenue is disgusting.
No one is buying Xbox hardware. Decrease 33% Yeah on yeah until
this kind of figure changes. How the fuck do you think
they're going to go back to exclusives?
But I don't give a shit. They need to go back to
exclusive. They have no choice if they are
the long term Fonz gaming saying they're attacking people liking
games. Oh, he's talking about we'll
talk about that in a bit. Well, that's a separate topic,
but what the fuck is going on with a mixtape?
Why I just I saw so much shit. Gene park locks his account.
I see freaking owners Alex chime in.
People reply to owners Alex E ranks was talking about the fact
that his freaking replies were absolutely dominated.
I see two tongues slapping each other.
People are crying. I'm like, wait, first I see the
the reviews, they're great. Oh, the reviewers are out of
touch with gamers. Not surprised, but OK.
Then I go to do you see the Steam reviews for the fuck it,
I've moved to my mixtape already.
Well, you know what? I'll go back to that.
I'll go back to that because time stamps is a mess anyway.
Going back to that Xbox hardware revenues shit, they're losing
money, but it'll keep happening at the Sharma until you fix
fundamentally what is wrong with Xbox and everyone knows what it
is. I'm going to be a broken record
until I keep telling you that any PC can run sidebar with
Patrice with G force. Now come on bro, don't do that,
don't do that. I'll have to jump on it with you
once I get bro ironstone reach out to me.
I will sit down and make it work.
I sent the the what's it called the mod to Luke Steele and the
chat. I also sent a deadly Headley.
It's really, really, really good.
Love the hat. I couldn't find my other subject
hat. I love this Illuminati hats
wicked. And Illuminati is going to
fucking appreciate it. So Xbox is fucking mercs.
Yeah. Well, great news.
What are you going to do, Xbox? What are you going to do?
She's got a battle ahead of her. All of this.
And I'm telling you right now, the amount of cuts that gold and
parasocialize with Asha Sharma and they'll quickly just,
they'll just accept it. Yeah, Yeah, you're right.
This. Is not important.
It's all a load of bollocks Asha beside my shirt because all I
give a shit about is on my freaking YouTube channel and
it's like mate, like the they're so spineless cocks.
That's why they keep changing the tune of what they're saying.
But we need to make sure that the few of us who actually won
competition in this space to keep reminding them.
That's why I liked Jez's Jess Cordon's article about how Xbox
very similar to I'm working on video, Please wait for me but
it's coming about how Asha Sharma has to defy her overlords
and fly in the face of Microsoft's mandate to actually
achieve this. Is it feasible?
I have no idea. This woman is making memes.
Let's see what happens. I am cautiously pessimistic.
That's fuck it, fuck it, that's Xbox.
But then Asha Sharma comes in and makes some moves and I'm
like, brav, brav, what's going on here?
It was hilarious to me that Asha Sharma was called AI.
Oh, she is the AI bod and everyone thought she's going to
just shit on my Xbox by just doubling, tripling down on AI.
And then this week or last week they hired 6 more AI people to
join their leadership. All right, OK, safe.
So now we've got all these AI people in there.
I would be a lot more worried were it not for how Asha Sharma
has done the most basic things and more fundamental things than
her predecessors ever did. I am now more confident in Xbox
than I have been for a very long time thanks to Asha Sharma,
which is not something I would expect to say here.
But it's not like that. I I know it's like gas.
It wasn't like that. The ceiling was high for, you
know, effective governance. But when her predecessor was on
board, I don't know, Phil Spencer of saved Xbox, whatever.
But the, you know, the energy waned and he flopped for
multitude of reasons. Whatever, maybe it was you had
to go through that, the motions, right?
OK, fine, whatever. But still this woman comes in
and she keeps smashing it out of the park and it was quite
hilarious to me that I was. Where is it?
I'm going to, I'm going to bring it up.
We had, although that you need to take this with a pinch of
salt because it's coming from a good friend of our of the
channels. Not really.
Yeah, it's just a bit fucked in the head and his name is King
Thrash. King Thrash is.
I like to give everyone a chance.
The King Thrash proves to me routinely that it's not a bit.
He is thinking like that sincerely and he will never
change. He doesn't think he's a fanboy.
He is one of the biggest fanboys on the planet.
He will say things to the opposite with like it never
happened. I've never met someone that is
so deluded that they delude themselves and it's entertaining
to watch. It's entertaining to watch.
You have you cannot deny it, King Thrash.
It's if it wasn't clear before, it's clear now.
Xbox is AAI pushing brand. What the fuck does that even
mean? OK.
Leadership has zero love for gaming.
OK amazing. They only want to use Xbox name
to push AI the AI slop agenda. You're a fucking genius.
Praise praise Asha for the future of slop.
That's what they need you for. I saw the first I was the first
to post this pic. This incredible pic where he put
Xbox and the Co pilot logo and put Asha Sharma equals the next
console national Sharma's face and then what happens?
Xbox is no longer developing Co pilot for consoles.
Literally I think it happened within minutes of each other.
In fact, I think he used the the news to double down on it.
I told you so and I'd like to say guys, what the fuck are you
using a psychopath as a point to prove.
But beyond the madness of certain people trying to trying
to Shazam this tune Eldrick, the tune is called this one.
It's called hasten smoke and vibes advice.
Let me just put it for you. Where is it Brav?
Where the fuck is it hasten smoke advice?
I'm going to put the on the chat where.
Do. We go hasten smoke, advice smoke
and vice safe, right? So all this AI slop, AI slop AI
slop, AI slop all the fucking. I have been a proponent for the
use of AI technology generally anyway, copilot, I don't give a
shit about it. I think it's a positive thing
generally because it's like, is this a really an AI out push or
is there determine, you know, like have they thought about it
or is this Microsoft mandate and they pulled it and then pulling
it just shows that they never really had a good fucking plan
to do this stuff anyway. And when Ashley Sharma says Xbox
needs to move faster, deepen our connection with the community
and add a friction and address friction for both players and
developers. Wow.
Today we promoted leaders who this is what I was talking about
earlier about the AI bods who build Xbox while also bringing
in new voices to help us push it forward.
The balance is important. We get the business right.
So despite the fact that they've got a Co pilot removed, they've
got more AI people that she's worked on to come in as
leadership. I don't think that necessarily
means that Xbox is doomed with AI slot pushing because
ultimately them doing that is a big signal that Xbox starting to
realise. Like they just announced it,
then they they cancelled it. No, didn't they just recently
announced this Co pilot and she said there's a man this fuck it,
it's not it's not going to work. And that takes a lot like oh
shit, the ex AI bot just literally that doesn't mean it's
going to end forever. Like they might bring it back.
Oh, you never know. You have no idea.
But what makes this hilarious is the fact that PlayStation has
made some memes this week. We had Playstation's earnings
call and we got some absolute schleems, and I will bring that
up now at 2838 during the time stamps PlayStation meme.
First of all, actually, you know what?
Let's talk about PlayStation. Playstation's revenue also fell
massively this year, but it's a lot more healthy than Xbox
comparatively because, well, is that really a comparison?
But let's see, let let me show you what's going on.
Playstation's revenue drops rawly and that's amid the price
hike. A significant price hike.
That and it dropped massively. Where has it gone Brav?
I had the tings, where did it go?
Where did it go? I'll try and find it.
Let me look at the chat. Sorry apologies.
AI is big because it's neural rendering, hence Helix has NPU.
Asha's tweets here. You and the Xbox say Xbox is
back. Woo.
Didn't Sony announce A partnership with AI?
Yes, we'll talk about that in a SEC.
Aaron, of course. Satya has to approve it, says
Fonz. That doesn't mean Phil tried to
do the same shit. Oh, he's talking to.
Aaron, All right. Aaron is a troll.
Fonz, do not answer a troll. Luke Steele says my hope.
Is is. Just to shit speckless.
And in reality, it will perform much better.
We'll have to wait and see. What is he talking about?
You guys talk about all sorts of that.
Oh, the PC specs. You for Lego Batman?
All right, Brev jumping all over the place.
Yeah. So where is it?
Where is it, where's it where's it where's it?
I'm going to go to I'm I'm just going to go on inside a gaming's
website Brev and just going to see what's happening.
Double Fine workers file to unionise.
OK, that might be a sign of little pressure being felt
within a double fine who were seen like the darlings and
untouchable. And now they're like Xbox is
like they need if they need to unionise.
That means they may feeling a a certain little bit of pressure
to make sure they safeguard their position.
They've got what, 50 to 100 people working on it?
Not that not that many people on the thing.
Where the fuck is the PlayStation news anyway?
So they place it AI or power. You know what, let's just go to
that. Basically, they, their
hardware's gone down. We know that ultimately they're
coming to the tail end of the generation.
You've done a fat price hike and it's going to dwindle massively.
That's that's standard. They've done so well so far.
They're about to hit, they hit 93,000,000.
They're about to hit a million, 100 million PlayStation sold.
That's a big, big. Achievement in an arena where.
They've increased. The price is consistent.
The Xbox is what, 2030 million? Terrible in comparison, but
PlayStation is. It's all right, but, and I'm not
saying I'm not trying to glaze over Playstation's losses, it is
a challenge there and that whatever.
But the interesting part about this is so the same King Thrash
who's arguing with me about how the component, this is my fault.
I don't know why I entertain every single argument from
random people. I need to philtre it out.
It's just stupid. It's stupid I I give the best.
I don't want to be seen as harsh to people and that's why I give
them time. But with king tuition, it's like
alright, you're just a parody of yourself.
I need to stop chatting to you because there's no sincerity
there in terms of having good faith arguments, but that
happens that's standard. He will say the same thing about
me. OK, but this whole point about
AI push that the Xbox are evil, you had fucking what was her
name Alana Pierce going crazy about you know I am never going
to work with AI or I think it was in the voice acting thing.
I'm like all right, good luck Brav.
Don't work with any AI companies that ever use AI again.
You're fucked because this is the world we live in.
Shout out to Geordie man. Thank you for the Super chat.
Love you Gazinda. Love you too Brav.
Long time no see. Q Bless is an SNL.
Character, says Doctor Scotty, that is.
That's how you need to treat him.
It's not inherently bad for people to make connections with
new leadership at Xbox. No, I'm afraid to sound much.
You're right, it's not the people need to make new
connections. But who are you talking about?
The fans, Right, Right. Look, you, you need to be very
careful and discerning about the kind of people that mingle with
these XX and what they say after the fact.
I'm sorry. Scale bound by come.
Back as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, you can have it you.
Can have it. There's a tune.
I need to fucking take time on this channel.
I am. I'm so sorry people.
I have neglect this channel so rawly because I'm trying married
fucking from 7-8 in the morning till now I've just been full on
and every weekend is just full on.
I've got I've got such a good video in the works and so.
Many. So sick edits, you guys.
You're going to love it. I will make it up to you.
And because this channel has not had content in three months, I
haven't put a video in there. No one's going to watch it, but
it's going to be good. I'll make it sick.
I cannot do routine videos. I've realised that's the fucking
point. I have to take time but I'm
aiming for one video a week. But it's going to be good.
I promise you, I don't know if you're like it or not, but you
should fuck, fuck off. Anyway, what I'm saying this is
it. Sony calls a.
Sony, after all this shit, Sony's doubling down on AI at
the earnings call. Apparently AI was such a
fundamental point, it dominated the conversation on this
earnings call. AI, this AI that AI.
Sony announced A partnership with Namco Bandai.
Or was it Namco Bandai? Might be wrong.
We are looking at how to use a generative AI.
That's disgusted. Disgusted.
How dare they? Use generative AI.
Where's the noise? Where's the noise?
And with Xbox. Fucking I heard so much shit,
but when somebody does it, silence.
Where is the violence? I'm not seeing it.
And they went in. In on on it on an annex call
talking about how hard they're going to go into it.
With Oh yeah, it's. Bandon Namco.
So that's the fucking screen gas.
What are you talking about? It is that Sony's working with
Bandon Namco on a generative AI project, but Sony's more bullish
on AI as a tool. Absolutely.
And this is the point. And I've always backed AI.
All the fucking NPC's and drones will talk about AI swap.
AI swap. It's like, don't listen.
To them, don't listen to them. AI is not a gimmick.
AI is fucking game changer. AI will be used.
All the people crying about it now, they will fucking change
their tune as it seeps in to become a daily part of our
lives. And Sony doing.
It I have no issues with it. Obviously there are fundamental
questions. I'm not broad brushing AI and
the use of it by these big corporations to take the piss.
Please understand the nuance. But if anyone who just sees a
little bit AI AI slop it's like fuck off man.
Like you have nothing to add to this conversation.
No, seriously. And I know I'm just sitting
there effing and blinding, but they really don't.
They just fucking drive by and go AI slop.
But AI is a. Force to be reckoned with DLSS 5
fucking shook them to the core Oh, it made the woman look
really fucking good and grace looks like she had makeup on
she's a bit but if you hadn't had that little bit of thing and
you saw the environment stuff they've been OK with it but it
this thing is bullshit it's just fucking bullshit PlayStation
doing it now is great. This is the tool and and they're
right they're right to say PlayStation.
Sony calls AI is a powerful tool for the future of gaming.
During the earnings call, Hiroki Tosuke says will have an impact
on the entertainment beyond simple efficiency games.
He shared the set of the technology will enable projects
that were previously out of reach due to financial on time
constraints. Absolutely man, what's AIS are
perfect LLMS are not perfect, but the tech is improving
massively. If you've used Claude now
brother, it's fucking crazy. It keeps the better and better.
I asked Claude an existential question about what do you think
the AI's role is it AGI? What do you think about how
helping humanity? Why do I have an affinity with
AI generally this is and it had such a fucking no nonsense
question and he's just like, no, actually hold on a minute.
Claude now tells me no, I'm not doing that.
Who the fuck are you, brother? You.
Work for me bitch, but it's like, no.
Because why me? And I'm like fucking this, This
thing's pushing back back shit, man, push it back.
That sounds weird, but pause. But yeah, it's getting smarter
and and regenerative AI may help streamline processes.
That's fine. Look, we've hit a ceiling on the
AAA space. We need to blow the ceiling wide
open. And physics in actual AI in
routines and games and water physics in everything in scale.
We've hit the limit so fucking early it's disgusting.
So now they need to change it and they don't need to fucking
have to be scared because a bunch of people on Twitter with
purple hair just sitting there crying, going hey, I slap.
And then? That every time they have to do
it, even though they are deepening their connection with
AI, all these companies have to fucking do what panda to
everyone by pretending like they'll have to preface their
their their their statements supporting AI by saying things
like this. AI is a powerful tool, but it's
not a replacement for artists or creators.
It's an amplifier of human imagination and a catalyst for
new possibilities. This is coming from Sony.
That's a unequivocal yeah, we're doubling down, tripling down,
quadrupling down the AI. Alana.
Pierce was mad about our Astra being in charge of Xbox as a
Frito sandwich. Is that true?
I need to see the receipts.
I mean we were I even I said former AI bod working with Xbox.
That's weird because I want to. I want to see what are you
actually going to push gaming or just treat it like Co pilot?
She's done better. In the for the brand in the next
fucking two. She understood the brand better
than freaking Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond did.
They were, I don't know what the fuck they were doing.
Asha Sharma, you're on a winning streak.
You're doing really well, which means that there's either
compound interest of the Xbox rake that's going to come in
with such velocity it's going to blow out fucking Cole Eastwood's
teeth out, or you're. You're you're.
Making memes. But there's one thing you cannot
tackle. There's one fucking
insurmountable fucking obstacle, and I need you to climb it.
I need you to just smash through that obstacle, traverse over it,
jump far beyond it. Sony says.
Our goal is always to be the best place to play and the best
place to publish. We see AI as a powerful tool to
help us in this mission. For all the.
Fucking people who cried about Xbox and AI, from your king
thrashes to all of them. There's nothing.
Just silence quietness, just death, just silence.
Where's your energy? Fake frames, fake frames go on
the channel. Fake frames, fake frame fake
frames PlayStation doubles down on we're, you know, bills with
Amethyst talks about, you know, frame generally important all
the technology that they're they're the AI upscaling and all
of that silence pin drop silence deepening the connection when
generative AI working with third parties like Bandolampka
silence. Where is the noise?
Bastards if Xbox does it, it's freaking bad bastard when a
PlayStation does it. It's bad, but let's talk about
something. Else then that that's the
fucking there's no consistency, but I get it the Xbox I I don't
like to use Xbox tags, but Xbox gets it's Xbox has built through
its own failures, by the way, a culture where it's susceptible
to critique because it fucks up so much that any time it does
fuck. I mean even in a small way, we
just amplify the the the the market.
That's the way the Xbox cap have actually generally been
conditioned as well because half of the the time Xbox seems to be
fixing itself when it is listens to fan outrage.
You've seen it before with the Xbox Gold price hike got
reversed in less than 24 hours. You think the PlayStation power
community has that kind of power?
No, fucking no. They're on top of that.
They'll do the PR. It's a good move or it's it's a
bad move. The only time I'm starting to
see them like really charm up about the price hike is because
it's reduced their sales figures and they're annoyed because it
can't actually cap for PlayStation as hard with sales
figures on Twitter. That's how the mentality works.
It's fucking crazy. It's crazy.
Man. It's stupid, Fat boys and all
sides are crazy. Yeah fine, at least I entertain
you, but at least self-awareness is a little bit needed.
Bruv the police are crazy man. They're mental.
They will excuse everything. Everything.
But they cannot. Excuse or can They cannot excuse
a bungee, the being a flop. Right, right, Wrong.
Wrong. Bungie.
Was bought out even an early source video said they paid way
too much way too much for fucking oh what's it called
4231. We do the time stamps 42 minutes
and 31. We're talking about Bungie.
Bungie is look look at this play Bungie PlayStation guys, you
need to kiss my feet. I'm supporting your your failing
studio Unlimited Edition didn't even have the fucking game.
I paid for a bug. I haven't even opened a toy
inside. Anyway, I'm supporting.
Yeah, great game by the way. Great game by the way, and I
always vouch for it. Honest opinion on it.
Keep supporting it despite all the bullshit.
What happens again? PlayStation fucks up.
Bungie, sorry. Bungie is fuck is is a terrible,
terrible, terrible purchase. I told you back then it was a
desperate last minute. This is how Sony could it was so
scared, so absolutely terrified by AB KS acquisition.
They just said, oh, you kind of fucking the guys have made Halo.
They can make first person shooters.
Let's fucking do it. And then they bought Bungie and
people loved it. Oh, Bungie made Halo.
Even though they're fucking on own that writes for Halo.
They're fucking sick even though they only build Destiny.
Yeah. And now Sony's.
Shows that there's a $560 million impairment loss against
Bungie. I think in addition to the 200
million impairment loss, that means the value of Bungie has
fucking sunk. They are not in a good place.
I want Bungie to succeed. A1 Marathon to succeed.
But what this means? Is.
Either. Whatever's left of Bungie is
going to be assimilated into SIE because that's what happened.
Like 15% of their staff got assimilated into SIE.
And now you're going to see more.
And they're not going to really kind of communicate about it's,
I don't think. So I just hope it's just funnels
keep supporting Marathon which is having a big problem
maintaining any a healthy number of users.
It's fucking bad. It's bad and I think either they
just get shut, shuttered or swallowed into S i.e.
I don't think they'll shut him down.
I think they'll just like assimilate them maybe.
Unless the skeleton crew just just ends up dying and they have
to say Bungie was gone. I don't think they'll do.
I don't think they'll kill Bungie.
I think they're just essentially dead and then they'll just
swallowed into SIE. Or they have one more chance,
which is the easy way out. Work on Destiny.
Three, just fucking work on Destiny.
Just milk it. We saw you milk it with Destiny.
Two, you didn't even barely upgrade the fucking game.
It was a glorified expansion of the first game which was already
massively down, downscaled in scope because if any of us older
people out here who follow Destiny fucking closely was so.
Dying for it to be so amazing. Bungie, the guys who made Halo
are working on a fucking this multiplayer massive online game.
You could customise your ships, you can go to different planets,
work as a team instances. It's going to be fucking saga.
They downplayed and fucking the ships are relegated to a loading
screen. You can't fly that shit and the
levels are basically small little instances.
So shit compared to what they actually promised.
I expected. I'm sitting there looking at
Huxley now back again 3 generations Oh yeah that was a
promising that looked like there was we're back to World of
Warcraft as an example of actual scale and ambition anyway, then
they do that and then they do destiny 2, which I boycotted
because it was taking the fucking piss.
The trailer was like OK you just rescanned the enemies and
changed the colour. This is your new enemy type
amazing. Halo infinite did that with a
freaking with also actually one flying enemy is stupid and then
your PvP doesn't even have a fucking P uh dedicated service.
It's just P2P. I'm like you guys taking the
piss off. The freaking.
Gameplay clips of Destiny one PvP, it just keeps shooting
someone, they go around the corner and then you get the
kill. The hit Reg was disgusting.
Destiny 2 same shit don't even have freaking invested in
dedicated service. They might have done it now I
don't even know what they're doing the fuck that.
But still you want budget to survive work on Destiny 3 and I
think that creatively they probably don't even want to work
on it. Yeah, let's just rescan
everything again and make a slap a three on it.
But that's the best bet. Now this is the AAA space can't
take risks. That's the risk tolerance and
now you want to survive. You got a fucking panda to to
the mob. PlayStation is dead blood just
James a champagne supernova in the sky.
PlayStation rebate. Congrats on the upcoming
wedding. Thank you so much Champagne
PlayStation rebate. You're not going to get a rebate
on your fucking Well, you might get a rebate for your Bungie
considering it's getting merked you keep keep.
I mean there's going to be another impairment loss coming
out of Marathon doesn't pick up. I don't know what they all can
do with Marathon. It's excluding a lot of the
masses. And it's a great.
Game, but it's not great enough to sustain the tide so.
But you know what? I I.
Do rate Bungie? I will say that I will rate
Bungie Oh working you are the owner of the extraction shooter.
It's not really a high risk tolerance, but extraction
shooter like that has its own unique flavour and it's it's not
like it's massively appealing to the masses.
It's all clearly not, but I mean it takes a while.
They they had to read like extraction shooters of the one
we looked at Tarkova. This is the source.
They built this really incredible visual style, which
didn't really follow through with the game in the in game.
I'll be honest, but that's a different conversation.
And now they're not really. The game is not.
Doing big numbers. I mean, I'll look at it.
I'll look at it now. It's got a steam BB.
Chart and find out. And I know it's like Steve is
not the be all and end all, but we're assuming the vast majority
of players, let's be honest off marathon will be on on on
fucking thingy PC, right? Like, OK, here we go.
Oh wait, hold on. Where is it most played games
right now? Times strike killing.
It over a million players are concurrent Dota 25-M.
This is PC space. Slay the Spire 2 just keeps
fucking killing it. It's insane.
Apex Legends is number 8 and play the Apex Legends in time.
Repo Windrows is still going strong at 11.
That's actually quite surprising.
Must be a good game. It's a PVPAPVE game as well.
Where's marathon? I thought Cyberpark was Marathon
because of the yellow. That's number 44.
Great game. Where the fuck is my bro?
What the fuck? I must have missed it.
No, I haven't. Missed it.
Oh my God, I'm past hunt brav. Wait, wait, hold on.
Shit. I must have.
Missed it. I have not missed it, It's on
page 2. Oh shit.
What's the bottom of page one? 100 numbers 14 What?
Come on man. Come on man.
Don't, don't. Kill this game.
Oh shit, let me scroll up. OK, fuck it.
At least it'll be at the top. There it is 100 and five 13,000.
That's not good. Bruv.
That's not good. 13,000. 24 hour peak was 15,000.
The all time peak it. Was just half the numbers of the
server SLAM. Oh shit.
Oh shit, it is not looking good, boy.
Downward, downward, down. That was at 20. 826 OH.
Shit, shit. Oh shit.
Luke, you are not. Going to have to scroll quite a
bit, bro. Yeah, Luke, I found out the hard
way, bro. I paid money for you.
I paid money for this. At least I supported it.
PlayStation fanboys. You, you don't even support your
own first party studios. There's not going to be another
impairment loss next week, RAM for another 300 million just
based on this video. RAM.
Oh, my days. Oh shit.
Oh shit. 30,000 RAM. Fucking RAM.
That's not good bro. You're going to need to do
something serious to make this happen.
You need to aggressively push your fucking road map or you
will fail. I have an idea though.
I know what you could make it happen.
You have to fundamentally change some things, including world pve
slash PvP like our. Creators.
U.S. forces players to fight some big fucking boss.
And then what happens? At the extraction, we'll see.
Create those moments. That's what.
That's what these shooters are about.
They'll just relegate to the cryo archive, which needs a
freaking PhD to execute on the weekends only.
I haven't even done cryo yet because I need to get the keys I
need to do the final team. I don't even use my free cryo
archive kit that you get. Because it's like, oh.
Right, I need to do this properly.
I need to fucking find a team and I I love that shit.
Great move put I love. I'm not saying that you get rid
of that, that that's amazing. But you have to strike a.
Balance AC2 cold, who I play with all the time is in the chat
right now. Says like nothing makes me want
to play it lately. Absolutely yeah.
I'm not feeling the source. At the moment.
It needs to keep you. You have to get leaving our
crate. Well, I played our crates was
fun, but it's like it needs to keep me fresh.
These games have just you need to really, really, really have
an aggressive timeline, But that's that's marathon Bungie.
They're fart. Remember when, Jim?
Ryan said. We're going to we what is it?
We believe Bungie will give us more value for money than than
Activision Blizzard King. So why the hell?
Were you breaking your back and your freaking gag reflex running
around Brussels trying to cancel the deal or ABK so hard we can
get better? Deal.
Fuck off talking. Shit, you dead.
It's over. It's finished.
Bungie, you're. Going to need a miracle somehow.
If you have enough money to spin up a Destiny Three, that's the
only way you can survive. Otherwise you are done out here.
Halas, Halas, it's over. It's over for Bungie.
It's a bad.
Bad time to be a bungee fan and PlayStation.
Is just. Even when they do build a good
multiplayer game, they just fuck it up.
PlayStation cannot. Do multiplayer right.
There's just one way or the other.
Can't do it right. Well Bungie did a decent job at
fun but as a game I think quality wise and the hell divers
too is Co-op, multiplayer, whatever.
Just think they. They just failed.
They failed. I gave so much credit but they
haven't even greenlit the right projects.
Man, I feel like you could do Killzone multiplayer really well
if you hadn't, but the Guerrilla Games don't give a shit.
They keep working on freaking I don't give a shit about this
game anymore. I don't give a shit about
Horizon. It's not found by someone.
Just don't give a shit about Horizon.
Keely more Xbox neutral lately. Did Asher slide into his DMS?
Champagne supernova? Also Marathon is a successful
extraction shooter. They extracted money from you
guys. Thank you man, I supported them.
I believed in them, man. I love them, man.
I was like, shit. How can?
You do that bro. What the fuck?
What do you mean by? Oh, Arc Rangers.
I was like, oh come on, man. Marathon, Marathon you.
Are such a good game. Maybe I'll put up some gameplay.
I know it will. It will get me to make some
memes. Me and AC2.
Code making memes in this game, there's not enough, but there's
combat now actually, I remember, but it's just it's just a team.
It's a slim it's a gene. This game is great.
Look at AC2 out of me. You just go.
How's the you know what makes me want to go back and play it?
It was a there was an atmosphere in this game, but that's it
that's it. It's over, Bungie, I don't know
what you're going to do. Good luck.
Now.
There's a game that Mister Luke Steele in the chat really,
really sucked the Dick off and I don't blame him for it.
And it's a PlayStation game. It's not just any game.
A game, a PlayStation that breaks the drought.
And it's called Soros. And hey, look.
Listen, PlayStation guys, this is your your, this is your
narrative, OK? You guys love fucking talking
about sales. So let's talk about first of
all, I still have my place, you know, I'm going to bring it in
now. I'm going to bring it in now to
show you how much I've neglected this thing.
Bro you can. See the dust on?
This thing. I have not even.
Brand new PS. 5 Pro. After.
Dust it off. That's how little I care about
console gaming, yeah. But someone has to support.
PlayStation, look at the dust, I don't know if you can see it.
I bought the PS-5 Pro just for Soros and I will find time to
play it. I just need to find the.
Time energy to bring it here so I bought the PS-5 for thesaurus
and I will tell you right now with all my slander, with all
the shit I've said about PlayStation, all this shit, I.
Think Cyrus is going to be? Amazing, I think Cyrus I have
seen clip I I even retweeted freaking.
BG is playing it right. Now.
Let's roll in. Let's roll in.
One SEC. Let's do.
I don't even know what to. Use them on what should we say,
chat. What should we say to BG?
I'm saying I'm. Saying I'm wet.
But I can't send the message. I'm wet, apparently.
Anyway, he's playing it, it's nice.
Just go. To the door?
What? What door?
It needs to has hand holding. It's not a typical PlayStation
game in it because it would be if it's cratos or thingy.
You did tell him Oh no, maybe we should go to that door because
that's what God of War is like basically Good.
I'll be actually BG shout out to him.
I I bet him £50. You couldn't beat that first
boss in the first go and he did it his first go.
So there's a £50 I paid him because he smashed it out of the
park. Saros is out and it looks sick.
It looks so sick that I freaking retweeted nibbles.
Yes, that's right, Nibbles. I look nibbles may have, I don't
know, faked AI generated the the screenshots or whatever.
Never never trust nibs, but at the same time I was just like yo
this game looks astonishing look at this stuff look at this look
at this. It looks amazing.
I don't know if it looks amazing on the stream.
It should do, but that looks amazing man.
I'm. Sure.
He turned off the. HUD for this, but it's not a
concept art, it just looks sick. Geiger esque style.
It's right down my alley of memes.
And according to. Luke Steele.
It's this game of one of the games of this generation.
I love Eternal, one of my favourite highlights of this
generation, however. However, I don't think it's
sold. Well.
I don't think it's. Sold well.
I don't think this is a game that will sell well.
In fairness and if. That is what it looks like.
Luke Steele, I trust you. I'll take your word.
On face value, that is what it looks like.
Shout out to I, I retweeted it. Looks amazing.
I love that style. Sony finally starts to break
away from his bullshit cycle and in place that you guys may not
want to be. Oh we did have variety.
Look at extromod. No, not for the noise.
That you make but every time you get release a game like Soros
respect. But I don't think.
This game will sell well. I don't think this game will
sell well. I feel like this game is just
going to be one of those games why return Didn't exactly get
many players on PC anyway. I don't know if PC release would
have made a massive difference, but I think a massive campaign
for a title like this on PC might have held a little word.
It didn't. It's a niche game.
But PlayStation guys? You love your sales, you don't
fucking even recognise good games unless they have good
sales figures, right? So what do you have to say?
Because let's be honest, Astro Bot didn't exactly sell
gangbusters and I don't think Soros is going to sell.
I love to be wrong though, because I love House Mark.
House Mark deserve all the respect in the world.
And I've loved their. Games a platinum freaking even.
What's it called? The first launch game or PS4 and
since then I've loved them. Reza Gun and then Reternal and
then this. And this.
Looks apparently thoroughly better and thoroughly better
than Returnal, which is amazing news to me.
Luke Steele says I don't. Think Cyrus will be a massive
seller because of the nature of it.
However, I think it's has to pull massive numbers to be.
I don't think it has to pull massive numbers to be
profitable. That's a good point.
We don't know what the development budget is, but House
worker, a smaller studio in fact.
In fact, I think their last game was.
I think Return was classified as.
Indie to. AA Indie.
Really indie. Maybe they were indie, I don't
know. Peep the Amazon numbers.
So according to Illuminati. He says.
That on Amazon it barely sold anything.
I don't play male. GOAT I have not played it yet.
There's the real be showing the play.
I even bought thanks to nibs folly enough a a a game card or
like. PlayStation Card.
Like well, a $70 card which I don't know where it is now, but
to buy Sorrows, I will play after the stream.
Actually I will do after the stream.
I've had a monster, I need the energy.
I'm not going to sleep. Finally going to play this game.
The only reason also is like the PS5I need to fucking set up
here. The TV is there, so I'm going to
be like this. But fuck it, that's my sort,
that's my problem. You're seeing 7. 1000 copies
sold of Soros in the UK in the USI.
Don't think that a house. Mug would this will, you know,
will chart at all or they'll chart but really at the bottom,
which is a shame. That doesn't mean that there is
an indictment of the studio, but it's an indictment of the people
who want to latch onto sales. And you just have to remember
Soros. So if there's another title in
the future that's not from PlayStation that fails to hit
sales expectations, but it has a good critical reception, remind
them of how hard they were capping for Eternal, hey?
I don't make the. Rules up.
I'm just telling you in fairness and equity, 7000 copies sold in
Amazon. If that's correct, that's
fucking atrocious. That's Xbox numbers.
I'm playing Steam games. On my PS-5 what?
Have you done that? Games falling.
Victim to the culture war as well with a load of crime bears
being mad about a brown actor. I mean I.
Don't think those guys will massively make an impact on the
sales of Soros. Let's be honest, the fucking
grums and all these people are just in the minority.
Generally. Anyway, they're just the
squeakiest Cog gets the oil but a brown act.
Do you really think that's the reason why this game didn't
sell? Because the person's an Indian.
And the story of. This bullet bullet hell game
man, no one gives a fucking. Shit.
Steal of facts? What's up man?
What are you saying thank you to be?
What do I do? Oh no, overall I don't.
Think they were better, but just in general, online sentiment
gets tanked because of those losers.
I saw a little bit of it and I was like fucking someone tried
to spoiler it for me as well about the story.
I'm like, piss off you stupid ponies.
Even let me enjoy a PlayStation. You're lucky I didn't push to
review this game. I will fucking give it a three.
And I'm just kidding. I will never do that.
And funnily enough, if I
reviewed PlayStation games this year, they're smashing it.
I reckon they'll smash Soros. I reckon they'll smash
Wolverine. But Revolver is their only.
AAA game right from the first party.
What else is coming out place? Oh Marvel to con that's coming
out, but that's the kind of a partnership game, but there's
still first party. So it's like Prag batter.
I forgot about Prag batter. I used to play that as well.
Oh. Yeah, so.
Saros, I don't think he'll do well, but fucking who?
Well I shouldn't say who cares because we want them to green
light a sequel. I think a house mark critically
is hitting what is it on the Metacritic 8887?
Where is it? Let me check.
Let's check. Let's talk about mixtape in a in
a SEC 87. Not bad. 7.9 for.
Critics score. Apparently the game is much
easier than return, although I've heard that from a few
people it is easier. Oh, a dead is disco it my
brother said it's really good game.
A really good game. Death death is disco is is
another brother. So much so much dankness.
Why does IGN was rank up top? I don't want to play an IGN
trailer for Death is Disco Stop Giving but.
Let me go to the. Studio dead as dead as disco.
Sorry, not dead as disco. My brother said just buy this
game, it's so much fun. And yeah, it's out now in early
access and I'll play the trailer in a SEC and it's a team.
It's a Schleems. Apparently it's a Schleems.
Now you might think what? The fuck is this?
But apparently. It's a lot of fun.
It's a rhythm beat action game. It's supposed to be sick.
So yeah. Check out Dead as Disco.
Dead as disco. Keep saying Dead as disco.
That could be a good, wicked game. 107.
Yeah, Super chat from Andy Ackerman.
Oh, what the flip is this? Oh, this a play, Play One Xbox
era, what they called day one. I always forget what they're
called now. Right next.
One next one. Is this?
Game Mixtape. I'm going to play it.
I did not expect. I remember kind of talking about
it. I'm like oh it looks kind of
cool. And another fucking lot of
people got perfect scores. It's got 23 reviews.
Here it is. Wait, fucking hell, mate,
fucking hell. About to quit.
Get your shit together mate. Mix tape 85 or was it on all
platforms? All right, 4 critics on Xbox
reviewed it. 15 on PlayStation, 92 on PlayStation and 2085 on
sorry, 92 on PC-805-ON PlayStation.
It's even on the Switch 2 as well.
And only six people. There's still two more than
Xbox. But it's based on.
What review keys they give out? So that's that.
Mixtape is a supposedly a brilliant game.
Really. The discourse around us has been
so toxic that even I have avoided it and that's how you
know it must be fucking messed up for me to do that.
Why? Why is this game, I don't really
know, a kind of do I play the artful escape?
I thought it was really good. I remember talking to the
developers behind it, the quite famous Little Rock type guys,
really good enjoyed it. But the mixtape discourse and I
need you guys chat to kind of inform me of what's going on
because I have seen. So much.
Shit about this game, so many different things about this game
and on the face of it, it just looks like people fucking having
a cry. Oh.
This getting reviews are broken Reviews are so out of touch with
gamers. So then explain why it's sitting
overwhelmingly positive on Steam.
Oh, you don't fuck it, Gene. Gene Park locks his account
because he's like he can't handle the beef anymore.
I think he was quite critical. Then I saw some one of the
shining or the the biggest praises people doll about this
game. They they say the game is it
makes you feel nostalgia like of the good old days.
And I love nostalgia, but I didn't grow up in the United
States in the 90s. For me, nostalgia is very
different to most Americans. Don't TP someone's house because
if you did that in Pakistan you'd get fucking shot.
Because that's where I used to live.
Then OK, then I moved in in my teenage yesterday.
England and it's very different. English culture is fucking
different. We just fucking.
It's a different level of source, but it's apparently you
know it will it will hit you in the fields.
It looks really good. I will say a lot of growing up
is watching American shows. So if that kind of like I love
this whole thing about American shows.
By the way, where you? That all you know.
The American high school, like the the cliques, the gods, the
jocks and all that shit. I love growing up watching that
kind of stuff. American stuff like that I love.
There was a show that I really liked.
I don't know what this game is about.
I saw something people crying about the fact that, oh, the
gameplay is too simplistic, it's QTE laden or something, this and
that. And then that might be a thing
that might push me away, but I remember Awful Escape and that
was a game where you could just press up for ages and that was
the gameplay running back and forth.
There wasn't really much meaningful gameplay, but it kind
of, it's more like a story, like it was just kind of guiding you
through. It's like on a visual novel, but
it's a little bit more interactive.
People loved it and it looks really good visually,
creatively, looks really good. So fuck it, I might play it.
I don't know why everyone's fucking crying over a fucking
$19.00 game that's on Game Pass as an indie title that is
generating so much fucking noise.
I don't know, like, what? Why is it?
Is it really a threat to the industry?
Is it doing something fundamentally bad?
Evil. What is it doing that people are
so up in arms about other people's reception and opinions
of the game? Is it why I don't?
Get it? Lol and I.
Will read the chat to find out why instead of fucking having a
low rant. Hello Talos.
Yeah, Paul. Paul, because he has a dude who
grew up in the 90s in East London.
A game about growing up in American suburbs in the 90s is
not for me. OK, yeah, and this setting is
really important, Champagne says.
Great music and fun little experience experience.
But if we are talking gameplay, it's not much of A game.
All right, glad I played it, but I wouldn't die on that hill.
It's the that it's a 10 out of 10 game and it was getting a lot
of 10 out of 10's. And you have to understand
reviews are subjective. If and mixtape is actually very
interesting in that sense because it's what emotion evokes
in people. Now when I do a.
Review for a game, which we very rarely do now, but hopefully.
We'll be. Doing soon for Insider Gaming.
I assess my. Subjective like enjoyment of the
game, but also there's a element of, well, what is the stand as
objective? It's all enjoyment at the end of
the day. Like objectively what are the
merits of this title like? What?
What what does it do well and what does it do good?
If it's all about how it and it's hard as a human being to
separate the feelings of video game invokes and then they make
an assessment of whether or not it just, you know, just a me
thing. Whereas Mixtape is a very
interesting kind of example of a game that really.
Doubled. Down on maybe things like
nostalgia and that kind of association.
And I'm reminded of another game South of Midnight.
South of Midnight was very divisive for a lot of people
because I generally thought the game player was so shit.
But for a lot of Americans, a lot of black Americans, it was
amazing. And so I'm like, all right, OK,
that's a game. That people are.
Clearly being carried because they have an association with,
you know, the South and American culture and what that means.
And obviously that influence all sorts of people in their
discourse. I'm not saying it's right or
wrong. I'm just saying like, OK.
And that's what that's what it is.
It's an art form. That's what gaming is.
There's there's also these kind of things when they happen, they
kind of indication of the gaming medium maturing.
Even if there are conversations around or the discourse around
these things is not mature, but it's an indication of the
industry maturing. And it's just having these
conversations which are very important.
And South of Midnight it was reminds me of the game where it
maybe I didn't feel it because, well, to be honest with you,
South of midnight, I did like the story.
I did like the music. I did like, I mean, I'm not
black, which might shock everyone.
But am I? My Dick.
No. No, anyway, I'm major.
That's not that big, That's decent size.
I'm proud of it. But yeah, like, you know, the
same kind of thing happening with mixtape.
People have an association with it.
They feel like, OK, you're kind of being overly pessimistic by
the game. But then there might be some
valid calls for arguments about, well, the assessment of a game's
quality, what is meaningful gameplay, blah, blah, blah.
I saw a fucking clip of the two tongues fucking fighting each
other. Like, that's a inside, like
kissing mini game. I'm like, right what?
OK, it's. One of those weird games, fine.
I didn't feel a. Certain way I saw some people
like this is disgusting. What is this?
I'm like wow, wow, wow. Now I don't know.
I don't get it. And then it's the same thing,
woke slop, blah blah, blah. And I'm like, yeah, I don't have
time for this shit. I'm not really going to get
involved in this argument online.
I don't have a horse to back on this one.
I will play the game and I might enjoy it.
I love those high school American kind of vibes though,
because I kind of grew up with that.
There was one show and it fucking pisses me off.
See, they had different seasons really good a high school show.
They had all these different like cliques and it was so cool
man, and it felt like you could you could be in that.
You know what movie that really Dolly Darko at the start where
that music comes from? Is it tis with his?
Yeah. It must be Tears For Fears.
And you've got the rotating camera when they come out of the
the school bus and they're really cool intro.
That's such a cool intro for a fucking movie.
I know. That's fucking weird.
Freaks and Geeks, male goat. You're a genius.
I love you. I'm writing that down.
I might want to watch it again. Freaks and Geeks, male goat.
Oh male goat, you're a boss. Oh and I see up top because I'm
I'm sobbing bro. You Dick.
Fix it geeks. Yeah, it was fix it geeks loved
that show. Such AI don't know even
American. So that kind of thing might you
know my fucking resonate with me.
I can't laugh at South of Midnight.
Spider Man 2 had very progressive side quests.
I mean. I got in trouble for even
bringing that up last time about South of Midnight.
It's not, I'm sorry, Spider Man 2, but it's not coming from a
place of. Hatred or?
Intolerance for it, It might sound like it.
It's more like like you're slapping all the shit on, but is
there any real meaningful like. Implementation of.
It because it feels like you're just hitting trying to hit a
quota and that it genuinely does.
I have no fucking horse to back and this thing about just like
do it properly. I do the same thing with Asians
like Asian or Muslim like incorporation the game Don't
just fucking slap it on bro I don't give a shit.
And I'm reminded. If you know, if there was a,
say, for instance, the South of Midnight that was like made by,
you know, Islamic culture or whatever, something that I can
resonate with my attitude is you may have fucking make sure
that's a sick game, man. And the gameplay has to be good.
Otherwise, Nah, that's the Asian mentality Bran.
Fuck it, make it good Bran, don't Rep it.
Well actually I say that's Asian mentality.
That's not the case. People just love drive by
pandering. I've seen that online so.
But it's my mentality. It's different.
Anyway. Interesting conversation to be
had. Stacked cast as well.
Absolutely. That's the only way I could
remember it. Freaks and Geeks is amazing.
I will. I need to watch that again.
It's one of those I'll watch again because it's just.
That cast. And they just like you really
cared. It's like, it's wicked.
Like that's amazing. Insomniacs bat.
Spider Man is better than Batman Arkham series.
Who the fuck says OK? I know Cygnus, of course you
said that Smallville. Same for you really.
I'm watching from by the Oh brav, how can I fucking do a
game show and not talk about this brav?
Holy shit it's going to get me demonetized.
Fuck it, who cares? I watched a movie.
Yesterday in the cinema. On this channel.
On this channel I streamed for 7/7 hours straight again that I
waited to stream because I was so excited and it was one of the
most thoroughly. Frustrating.
Saddening, annoying experiences for the few of you.
Which game was? I haven't streamed that many
games on this channel. Which game am I talking about?
That disappointed me thoroughly? You already.
Know the answer? I fucking gave you the clue
anyway. Mortal Kombat.
Mortal Kombat the last game pissed me off.
A completely shot on the legacy of Mortal Kombat.
The spirit of Mortal Kombat. Absolute ass when Mortal Kombat
won the last movie trailer came out I watched it so many times
cold couldn't wait. I'm like this is going fucking
Mortal Kombat. I love Mortal Kombat was my
first ever game and I couldn't believe how shit it was.
Mortal Kombat won was absolute dog shit movie It was so bad I'm
like how can you make such a good trailer and the movie is so
bad it only a phantom dead. Thank you, it annoyed the shit
out of me and last week and there's no spoilers.
There's no spoilers there. Don't worry about.
I'm not going to spoil a spoiler Mortal Kombat for you.
Last week. They showed trailers for it,
Mortal Kombat 2, and oddly it was in the cinema.
I was like, why? They put in the cinema?
They're going to go straight to DVD.
It's going to be shit like the first one and then they fucking
put out the trailer for some reason.
Put out one of the fight scenes, which I won't play here.
I'll play a little segment. Let's put in the trailer.
Tiny segment. Actually.
I won't put the full fight scene off.
Fucking. Kung Lao and Liu Liu Kang and me
being pessimistic as fucking thinking, oh, this is going to
be shit, it's going to be crap. I saw the fight and I was like.
Yo this. Is amazing.
I'll put it up right now. And it is so good this bit.
This bit in. Particular Oh shit, that's loud.
Sorry, Twitter gets really loud. Let me do that again.
Sorry, Chad, it must have burst your eardrums there.
Bro do you know how? Much I love what they just did.
There it is. My.
I love Kung Lao. Kung Lao is my mate and so good,
so good. I watched the movie yesterday.
Because of holding. Out hope and it is so good.
I actually prefer than. The the classic legendary Mortal
Kombat annihilation. I just I loved it.
The pacing is amazing, the character designs are cool, the
level designs. I won't spoil anything great
from the games and it's like boom boom, boom action into this
one into this one. It felt like such a short movie
and it was it was sweet. I was like this is the more
combat silly. It's over the top, but holy shit
it was the fight scenes were so good.
Actually the the fight scene, the best fight scene was the for
me. Was the the?
The Luke Allen, I'm a bit biassed though.
I'm a bit biassed, but it was fucking sick.
The the the fight choreography is sick of this.
Look at him. The Revenant Kung Lao is so dark
and just like how Mortal Kombat. Should.
Be look at this. Their fucking.
Feisty was sick. Oh man, it's just.
So good. The actual in the game, in the
movie is is even better. They've just cut bits here and
there. It's just so good, so good.
It's too good. It's too good bro.
You have to watch it. You have to watch it.
I'm so glad we have a good more combat movie.
I didn't expect it. I loved it.
Even Gene Park to me is like it was fucking amazing.
And that's the schleems mortal combat it's back.
Shame the game is absolute ass. The they need to fix up their
game man I want. To make a video.
On it, there's no spoilers. There's no spoilers.
What's spoilers? It's really good.
Watch it. Got the Mortal Kombat 4K Blu-ray
collection from Arrow in order. Gonna see more combat too soon
as well. Luke.
Luke, you'll love it. It's really good, I love the
visual styles, the CGR was really good, the animated, the
fight scenes were wicked. It was just great rambling and
saying with the $5. I hope with the price increases
and the slowdown of console sales they all keep games
exclusives. It will help speed their
dissolution you piece of shit. The slowdown of.
Console console sales is still good.
You're always going to get a slowdown of console sales
eventually. You're literally 2 years away
from the next Gen consoles. What's going to happen?
I didn't even tackle that properly actually.
Fuck, let me just jump back on that topic now.
PlayStation. 6. The PlayStation. 6 Thanks for
reminding me inadvertently the PS6 is fate.
I don't know what's happening. Sony is really so contrary to
what a lot of people are thinking.
For some reason. Sony's not impervious to market
forces and component prices. And it is now seriously, I mean,
it's, it's fucking kind of crazy actually for them to come out
and say this. And it goes to show how much of
an issue this is. PlayStation 6 launch window
remains uncertain amid memory prices.
A lot of people are like, Oh yeah, no PlayStation gets
preferable treatment. They've already locked in the
prices. PlayStation is a mega company
and they're not in their impervious to component and RAM
prices. It doesn't affect them.
It's only APC issue that's right.
But you can guess who. What kind of person said that?
Oh my fucking shit. My headphones come up and look
what happens straight out the pony's mouth.
Hiroki to Toki, Looking at the current circumstances, oh shit.
The memory price is also expected to be very high in
fiscal year 2027, because there will still be a shortage, there
will still be a shortage of supply.
So under that assumption, we must think carefully what we
will do. This is a very dynamic, fluid
situation. They are playing wait and see.
We have not decided. We have not yet decided on what
we have not yet decided on at what time.
What the is this really? We have not decided yet decided
on at what timing we will have we will launch the new console
or what prices. So we would like to really
observe and follow the situation and my just being a moron.
With that in mind he discusses the PS6 stating that we have not
yet decided on at what time because it's not me we will
launch the new console or at what price.
So we would like to really observe and follow the
situation. Mother this should be bigger
news. They PlayStation are literally
doing a wait and see. They're so susceptible to the
prices of things that they have literally said we don't know we
have to wait till the the market is out.
Why are the PlayStation guys not fucking talking about this?
Not even coming out and admitting we were wrong?
No of course they won't because PlayStation.
Oh shit, cameras No please what no one told me.
Tell me chat, that the cameras lobby flopped.
No one's saying. That king.
David might be. Right hashtag no PS six.
I would love that. I would love the King David,
probably little king this galore do it.
They deserve it, the little shit.
But yeah, like that's. Crazy.
Wait and see station. That's crazy.
PlayStation is waiting and seeing and I don't think they
need to be in any rush. And this is the thing when you
are not really you, you're without a competitor.
This is what you do. Now if Xbox had any fucking
testicles and any thought of mine and and beyond short
sighted gains to appease Amy Hoods or whoever just sitting
there and sat in the dead like we will need to make money long
term gain you would see this and capitalise on the situation.
I'm not. Saying Microsoft.
Is not susceptible to market forces, but what do you do?
Relegate yourself to obscurity or take advantage of the
uncertainty that befalls Sony, which is comparatively much more
cash poor than you? And I know Xbox is a gaming
division, has its own finite amount of resources, blah blah
blah, but it's still backed by Microsoft.
What the fucker? You spent 78 billion on
activism? OK, that blows out a lot of the
conversations out of them of the park.
PlayStation is playing. Wait and see with the PS six,
chances are they will probably be released in 2028, which is a
smart kind of bet. A lot of places guys like you
know, the generation has barely started.
Let us have that time. But I'm asking you, what's your
road map or first party titles for this time?
Because this year you're blowing your load.
Next year is going to be what? What else is left?
Another Insomniac game which is going to be.
The Spider Man. What's it called?
Venom. Venom And the last was it the
Israeli game? Neil Druckwood.
'S propaganda game Interstellar, not Interstellar.
What the hell is wrong with the intergalactic thing?
My brains not working. But that's how many games they
have. There's not that much there from
the studios. So you're waiting for 2028?
You're not going to fundamentally see PlayStation
really unleash stuff. I love that they surprise us
because it's been a while. PlayStation typically is good at
end of Gen stuff so maybe they might surprise us but I don't
know. Ultimately, though, let me tell
you one thing. Changes galore.
Because in addition to that, PlayStation have also said that
they're going to have to revise their strategy.
Sony's saying. It's considering changing its
business model regarding the PlayStation 6 because of the
component prices. What does that mean?
Changing its. Business model, what does that
mean? Some people enthuse that, oh,
they're going to offer a little subscription service.
Is that because the PlayStation guys love subscriptions to buy
the PlayStation because it's going to be so expensive and.
That's the reality. Of the other thing that you need
to figure out, these things are going to cost money. $1000.
Plus maybe some people think oh we're going to get it in next
year and it's going to cost £600.
No, it's done that that that's bullshit.
OK, now you even know that PlayStation 6 is going to cost
serious dosh in order to to not alienate the mass market.
What are they going to do? 1 Understand this cross Gen is a
thing. I hate it, you hate it.
We all hate it. Cross Gen.
Is such a problem last year and it really kills the whole
generational divides of between generations that we used to love
and there was a big jump and then all the games were they won
like supporting it. That's that's fucking flop.
Call of Duty, I think for this year, this year has decided
finally not to cater for last year consoles.
And we're nearly the, we're at the tail end of this generation
and Call of Duty is stopping to do that.
Mark my. Words cross Jed will the based
on everything the AAA bloat and the component prices is going to
stretch out so much over next Gen.
The Helix generation or whatever it's going to be generation is
pretty much dead, really dead. So you're going to see it
stretched out to an NTH degree, which is why PC is the best
place to play. Or multi Platts and everything
well or Xbox games was basically on PC.
One thing we didn't. See, in this earnings call,
despite the fact that Jason Schreyer said that you should be
hearing something soon about this is them, and I'm not saying
that this is not that doesn't there's an indication that it's
not true, but Playstation's fucking strategy on supporting
PC. Where is it?
Like, where's the statement? We were supposed to expect a
statement after Soros's release or during Soros's release that
PlayStation will surely announce that they were, you know, we
were going to reconsider our approach to PC gaming and
supporting games. Surely owe it to your customers.
On PlayStation, No. On PC?
Sorry, no. Come just.
Leave them out in the dark because someone was saying that.
Why are you expecting them to say anything?
They should just fucking just not say anything.
What? What?
Maybe it must be a smart play for them, but why not?
There are maybe they will want to change their minds in the
future. I mean, all right, so it's not
really set in stone then, is it? If you can't even commit your
strategy to words or have a firm commitment because you might
change your mind later on, that's not good or doesn't it's
not an indication that you're very committed to this model.
So you kind of a wait and see so.
I think they should be the. Pressure should be on
PlayStation to actually have some disclosure.
Now, Jason Troy is very reliable.
Typically, I, I, you know, whatever you say about him, he
may not be the most likeable person for a lot of people, but
he's a solid journalist who does his job for the most part,
especially when he wants to sell his book and monetize off
people's grief. But.
He's also some. Fucking weird, stupid stupid,
horrible takes horrible stance as he's done.
Which I I'm not a fan of Jason Trier.
Not at all. I saw him on at GDC and I was
like ah yeah basically are the same.
It's not. I don't know but it is what it
is but. Jason Trier has.
Been given a lot of. Tread.
On this stuff and I'm like, the more the time goes on and Sony
doesn't say anything. It's crazy champagne.
Supernova with the fur 2. I just saw the Wake Island
coming this year. Bro baby come home with
champagne Supernova. I'm not playing battlefield.
I will play battlefield. I will play battlefield.
Wake Islands coming back. I have to jump on it.
He lied about Larian too. What did he lie about Larian?
Explain that to me please. Oh, it's OK.
Mixtape is a 99 out of 10. Thank you, Mama Fett.
Yeah, we talked about Mixtape. It looks decent.
It looks fun, but people are like, oh, people are.
Exaggerating, I'll. Be I'll make up my own mind
about it. We'll see.
But yeah, it's going to be an.
Interesting situation. Now place it.
There's a lot you can unpack with the PlayStation stuff.
I think it's quite. I feel like people are not
making enough noise about Playstation's remarkable,
remarkably candid admitting admission of where the state of
PlayStation is and how their plans are stored for the PS6,
whilst Xbox is going out to talk about Project Helix.
Project Helix and in the same week.
Come on man, I need to go back to making constable content
because these guys are such basic bitches, but I they're so
beneath me I don't know. The same time the OH.
Punchy Helix, the same information that you got from
GDC. All right?
They gave you some information all about PlayStation Six.
We're not all ready to talk about it because we don't know
what we're going to do because the component prices are too
high. Oh, the same component prices
that we thought PlayStation was impervious from, you fucking
geniuses. Well done.
Great. Brilliant.
Egg on your faces. Safe.
Admit it. No.
OK, fine. Carry on.
Talk about Xbox again. Stupid idiots.
Anyway, I'm interested, I need to see what the fuck is going
on. Obviously this component price
situation seems to be a long term problem, so if they're
thinking that it's not going to get resolved in 2027, then what
the hell are you going to do? You have to obviously start
making plans now. What's?
Going to happen, huh? Like.
Anyway, cross Gen is increasing. Get a fucking PC build.
APC build a piece. If you built a PC when I told
you to build APC, you guys would be laughing.
You'll be making profits. You mean you sat?
Here you couldn't even sell it and make sell it for profit, buy
another one for free. But you didn't do that.
I guess you're just a scorned Xbox guy.
Oh, you're desperate to to to get a one up on everyone.
Yeah. And then what happens?
Boom, the price of RAM increases massively.
The GPU that I've bought has paid £500 extra for now.
Cost double the price. Retail's like 5 grand now.
Save. I bought.
Insurance for my How much was the content insurance?
And I covered this PC. Oh, I have two gaming PCs.
Well, one's the stream PC and all this stuff and I'm like,
holy, holy shit. Is my insurance.
Cover OK now because the price of this this stuff is even
higher than what I paid for. Safe, safe.
Interesting times, interesting times.
What will Xbox do? What will Xbox do?
If the component price is an issue, What will Xbox do?
Asha Sharma has given some indication about really going
back to focus on the console. And I think that we're going to
see something with a Series X&S or something that will make sure
that they have some sort of viability for the masses or
maybe a rebrand or something or a different model of it.
To ensure. Forward compatibility.
Xbox was ahead of the game last Gen and the Xbox One generation
at the tail end of that, they were talking about forward
compatibility. PlayStation weren't even talking
about that because we're going to rinse them for the same game,
but just a little bit of better resolution with the PS-5
version. We believe in generations, but I
actually don't. And then Spider Man came out for
Xbox and play, sorry, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5,
blah blah blah. Xbox had a really good like All
Pro gamer policy, but then they fucked up anyway, despite all of
that. What do they do now?
Xbox will have to figure something out because there's he
project Helix is supposed to be a enthusiast grade machine.
You're not going to penetrate the market enthusiast grade
machine. I don't do that.
So you have to have a strategy for the lower end market, for
the entry prices of people, the mum and dad for kids and stuff.
And that means maybe a. Rebrand of the Xbox Series XRS,
they keep talking about it like they keep talking about the
Series X, and we're going to focus on the console first.
I don't think they have to reconcile that.
They also have to reconcile. The exclusivity strategy, which
is not going to change anytime soon.
Tim Dong I don't know why you've bet your account Gears of War E
Day is going to come to PlayStation.
They've let literally said they're going to make a
tentative approach on it and I think is set in stone.
You think they're going to fucking reverse Gears of what?
If they did, I would love it. I would say amazing, but what do
they do? Forza Horizon 6 is freaking
trailer come out and launch trailer which is great and they
said Oh yeah coming to Xbox and PC and coming later later to
PlayStation tip dogs like no, why did you do?
That. And they're not going to cancel.
Well, obviously we were joking. Me and Gene Park were joking
about how they could just cancel everything, but they're not
going to do that. They're not going to cancel
gear. They haven't even announced
Gears E Day for PlayStation. And everyone's looking at Gears
E Day as the litmus test for Xbox to actually having the
balls to actually pull exclusivity.
And at most, you'll see a timed exclusive affair with Gears of
War at most. And they should, if they.
Have any common sense? And this is more of a it.
Doesn't really appease me but at the same time if they have any
common sense of the Xbox Summerfest or whatever the show
is. They cannot show the.
PlayStation logo. But they will, I reckon they
will. I think even if they if they
don't show it, they'll have to back it up with because there'll
be so many questions. They're like, yeah, it's timed
and we're like it's timed. And then you know.
It's something it's them trying to make moves to assess the
exclusivity situation, which is a very tough one for play Xbox.
They are not like you're you're asking Ashley Sharma to convince
the heads to say, look, our revenues dropped so massively
now because of our whatever reason, all our failures,
compound interest on all our failures.
You know, sounds like you really want to sell it to a dwindling.
We don't even barely sell Xbox consoles.
You want to make it just no PlayStation anymore that has
nearly 100 million consoles. You don't want to release the
games there. Our games are selling better on
PlayStation. There's a lot of PlayStation
first party titles. You're telling us not to, you
know, play, you know, 5 mil or something without enough that as
a trusted estimate, a Forza Horizon sales on freaking.
PlayStation you're. Not going to say no to that.
CFD is a six year old game. Tops their fucking pre-order
charts and tops their charts. You don't want to don't want to
sell it there. We're finally starting to make
money even though our revenues hit.
How are you going to fucking convince fucking Satya Nadella?
I have no idea, but at the same time the one thing is very clear
to me. If you don't want.
Xbox. To be relegated to the footnotes
long. Term.
You have to have the fucking balls to back your own platform.
It's not a big ask. It's not a big ask.
You're on PC and you're on Xbox consoles, which is basically.
Not that many millions, but yeah, at least you're on.
Two, PlayStation is, well, whatever it is pulling back,
apparently. And anyway, it's not.
Even day and date. And it has an impact in its
value proposition of the console and Nintendo.
Is Nintendo not doing Multiplex? What do you do?
It always goes back to the exclusivity question.
Like guys, you fucking talk to backstage for ages.
But it's a fucking important point.
It's for people to remind them that it's important.
If you're an Xbox fan, you need to remind them.
If you're a competition gaming fan, you should remind them.
Like this is way to reinvigorate the space.
It's fundamentally. Important and will have massive
positive ramifications for the industry.
But will they? Will you fucking do it?
What's going to happen? Tom Henderson's like the fuck
you doing? Good doing going live at
midnight. You good?
Listen, mate, I was a bit late, but I have to.
I had AI, had a monster and a monster.
You know, Tom's lurking around. I still owe him a bunch.
A marathon video. So.
What are we going to do? What are we going to do, bro?
Interesting. Oh shit, all my list of topics
are on my own WhatsApp. That's great.
Oh yeah, I forgot to talk about this.
Switch to has a price increase. Great.
Even the the switch isn't impervious to market forces.
But a Switch? Come on, they Nintendo don't
give a shit. They don't give a shit.
They're like, they're, but they, they, you know, whatever, they
increase the price of the original Switch as well, didn't
they? Let's see Switch to price
increase. Last week we were for the
Nintendo investor worried about the current Gen console being
deeply unprofitable. The company was under pressure
to raise the consul's price. Now the official announcement
has arrived, costing $50 more. Effective from this.
September, they've given themselves a little bit of a
window to boost sales because they've seen what play it's done
to PlayStation 5's sales. When the price hike was
announced, it worked with me. I bought the PS-5 Pro.
Never opened it but I I bought it safe.
Oh, and. How the fuck did I not talk
about it? Star Fox got revealed.
It was on my freaking list. Where is there?
Where's the bomb? Yeah, Star Fox got revealed.
And. Bro I'm happy I I really want to
Star Fox. But jeez.
Man like how many times are you going to remake the same thing
bro? Make a new freaking thing.
Make a new freaking game, man. And.
I mean it looks good, I I feel like the characters look a bit
weird. I'm going to get.
Copyright struck because Nintendo suck ass.
But yeah it looks nice. Like it looks like the tech has
gone. Like the, the, the.
Visuals have had a massive upgrade, but the characters look
a little bit weird. I don't really give a shit that
I didn't feel as strongly as some people did about the
characters designs, but they're just, it's a remake.
I'm like bruv. There were cool touches in there
as well though. The cool touches are like the
the facial stuff, they're really cool like you.
I I think it's like. I don't know how many people
will use it. You can use the thing as a
mouse. The arena mode is where I'm
going to fucking play this a lot because it's really fun in
multiplayer mode. So.
Definitely, but it just needs a new fucking game, man.
You can play it with the N64 controller.
Oh, this is the the thing you can do a facial look.
That kind of stuff is cool. Like eyebrows and all sorts.
Like, that's kind of cool stuff. That could add a.
Little bit of schleemes to the theme, but how many of you
actually use the camera? Like do you guys actually use
the Nintendo Switch camera? I'm not.
I didn't even buy it. I don't know how many people
will buy it. Yeah, what's up Web, Dave?
Good to see you in the chat man. Fox got dog.
Legs with human arms. I'm glad they remade this as
colour prime. I will get it, I will get it.
I was I was excited about it, but I was just like, hopefully
like it does well. So it reinvigorates interest in.
One day. Eventually a a new sequel
overdue this, but we'll see. We'll see.
We'll see what the what the schleems are.
So Nintendo increases the price, but at least he's got a Star
Fox. So it's looking like a shit year
for a Nintendo honestly. And now we have rumours of
Ocarina of Time getting a remake.
And I'm sorry, I'm not a big fan of remakes, but Ocarina of Time
and that's. Like 3.
Generations ago, Nintendo 64. Holy shit.
Day one. Day freaking one man, I can't
wait for that. Do we talk about Forza Horizon 6
going gold? It has gone gold and I'm looking
forward to it. I.
Think. This is going to be an amazing
game. I know.
I feel like I will peek at Forza Horizon 6, though I feel like
the formula will after that will start to wear thin.
They'll have to change things up.
But Forza Horizon 6, the launch trailer looks sick.
I'm hearing all all sorts of good.
It's got gold. People have the review copy of
it already. I've had it for quite some time.
Which is. Impressive.
Because it shows they have a lot of confidence in in it.
Launch day trailer, launch trailer.
It comes out when in 50 I'm buying the there's no way I'm
waiting for it. I am buying the What's it
called? The day.
The early early access edition, you get to play out of like few
days early, four days early or five days early.
I'm definitely getting this day one.
This this is the reason why I'm I'm in a rush to complete Soros
and Kronos. Because this just.
Looks. Yeah, it looks.
Amazing. Man, I was pessimistic about it
before, but now I'm just like, not pessimistic but just looks
so fucking good, man. And I've got my nightwave radio
playlist with some sick tracks that I need to up up update.
But I haven't done it yet because I want to accompany it
with the release of this game, which will hopefully have his
own really good soundtrack. Because that's one of the
weaknesses of the last couple of games.
I thought their weakness, their soundtracks won all that of this
game. Man, this is where I think Forza
Horizon peaks and I will enjoy it.
Ray traced. Reflections and all thoughts.
I'm tempted to even buy. A freaking steering wheel.
Slap it onto this table. I think it would look really
good, but it might obscure my screen a bit.
Oh no, I think it'll be all right.
This game is going to be fucking amazing, man.
This game I'm actually genuinely excited for when it comes
around. You have that feeling of like,
you know, it's about time. Got our teeth into some a really
good racer and Forza Horizon is going to make a lot of people
salty that they're not playing at day one.
Boba Fett bought the. Premium Edition four days ago.
I am going. To buy that a four days early
access safe. You guys is playing?
The cup game. Oh my God, This is why the PC
space needs some fresh meat. Bruv.
Look how good this looks. Look how good this looks.
I play this. With the with the HUD off as
well. Unless it's like, you know, you
have to look at the mini map and it looks so much better man.
Look at the lighting bouncing off the other car, man.
Oh, it looks so good. It's about time we.
Jumped back into Forza Horizon, Man, it's about time it's going
to be sick. It's.
Going to be. Sick.
Oh, I need. To play this game.
It's sad. Forza launch days haven't
replaced Halo launch days for me in hype.
Bro bro you can't fix Xbox. If you haven't fixed Halo, and I
really have no faith in them whatsoever.
Oh yeah, we did hear some news about so Reb's Gaming is fucking
talking about the fact that. He's confirming.
That Halo is Halo Next is happening, which and is carrying
on from the story of Halo infinite with the endless good.
Thank God for that man shit as much as I hated and I hated Halo
story because of well there's a video on game on daily but.
It would be. Stupid for you to just like you
built the whole game up with the Endless, you're going to do a
new sequel. You need to.
Fucking you do finish the story with the endless or start them
to introduce you have built all the time who are the endless,
endless, endless, endless and then you don't do anything.
So yeah. But I have no, I have no.
Faith in I have no faith in Halo studios.
I'll be, I'm very pessimistic. I shouldn't say I have no faith.
I just want to. I've been burnt so much and I
really don't appear has it in them with a new IP based on
those, the reports of how the staff feel, the pressure they
feel on the Halo remake, which no one really cares about, I
don't. Even have.
Halo CE remake. Or the PlayStation.
Will sell that much? Like it will sell.
Oh yeah. How many mil do?
You think the Halo game on PlayStation will sell 3-4
billion? That's a lot in this day and
age. I feel like a lot of PlayStation
guys actually ended up buying a Xbox to play Halo or and that is
a multiplayer so I don't know. So is Halo studios cooked after
all that marketing says otaku marketing is marketing bro.
What do they do? They changed the name, they
changed the leadership. OK fine.
But while we've had reports of it and I always said look, the
Pierre fixed Master Chief Collection and helped with the
content for Halo Infinite, but. So what?
Like OK, you fixed technical issues, Great, that's a
technical achievement. The massive feat.
You've delivered some content for the multiplayer, but Halo
Infinite is pretty much dead. Halo Infinite even on the charts
probably has less than 1000 players on Steam.
This is Halo. Where is it?
Well. It's more than 1000.
Look. Look at this. 2000. 500 players.
Playing. Halo Infinite, It's the end of
Halo. Halo's had his time, man.
And unless the studio comes out and takes some fucking bold
risks and we're going to be successful, I know you're going
to have all the freaking no Sprint purists cry about it, all
the shit. It will never work.
They'll go play. Go play Master Chief Collection.
There's the Master Chief Collection in this list of top
100. Let's see how many players are.
I reckon it's probably more than this, though.
It is 6914 players. The purest are there.
That's it. There's 6000 players.
Those are the only ones we're going to play.
Non Sprint. Halo.
The rest of everyone else? It's Halo Combat Evolved.
It's funny, Combat evolved. But the game is now not allowed
to evolve. Must if he's not allowed to run
and the game cannot fundamentally change its.
Philosophy to match. Up with the times.
The only way Halo will be successful is if it goes.
Is under the. Command of people that will take
it to another level and take serious risks.
And a lot of Halo faithful will hate that statement.
Oh. But what about Halo?
5. And Halo 4.
Halo 4 took what risks made multiplayer Call of Duty OK
great. Halo 5 fucking took risks with
the multiplayer and was fresh with war zone but a single
player was a joke. When you say risk.
We mean take good risks doesn't mean that necessarily that Oh
yeah, you, you don't deliver on quality, don't fucking kill the
narrative, don't even deliver on what the game was marketed as in
terms of its campaign with Asian Locke versus Master Chief, all
this shit. There's multitude of different
things, recycled boss battles, all of that.
We're talking about taking risks but also make a good game.
But so but Halo's standing us is so desperate.
We want Halo to be good. We can't wait to taste Halo.
We're all the same. Halo trailer comes in, we're
just going to rush to work, rush home and watch it.
Watch that shit. Like, all right, let's fucking
see what this is about. Will marathon be?
At those numbers in five years 6914 Doctor Scott that's
assuming it survives it's. Very.
Very tenuous for Marathon Infinite's campaign.
Gameplay was super fun. They need.
More. Content bro I said this so many
times. Halo Infinite, they built the
foundation. They somehow got the spirit of
Halo. So on point.
There's there's contractors who I don't know how they did it.
Even the brutes. I was like, OK, these are beasts
enemy the the design, the scope of the the scale of the world.
It felt like Halo to another level.
Then you just stopped. David shows the endless.
It was fucking terrible that that stupid character that it
was so that that human character was so annoying.
Despite that. I was like, all right,
aggressive marking, right? Yeah, the aggressive road map.
I had 10 year plan, nothing. Disgusting.
Gameplay was.
Wicked. Honestly it was the best playing
Halo we've had in years. I love the gameplay.
Of it. But he can't get the.
Taste off in the mouth of his failures and the short
sightedness of it. Like there's no.
Real incentives, there's no. Yeah, Marathon is sitting at.
12K right now, you don't need five years.
It's a tarnished gamer, yeah. It's a tough.
Situation. In my memory, the pilot.
Was you septic? So it's never me.
That guy was the most annoying piece of shit ever and I hate
annoying characters in movies and games like I'm watching
from. If you watch series from it is
full of characters. You just want them to fucking
die bro. Especially the main, like the
starting characters with the kids, the most annoying pieces
of shit. So annoying.
But yeah, I think we've covered everything.
How long was the stream? It's not fucking no.
I know it's not like 2, only 2 1/2 hours.
We made some memes. What?
Else have I not covered Sony PlayStation players may be
eligible for reimbursements following a preliminary
settlement agreement approved by a judge in the class action
lawsuit regarding digital badges.
OK so Sony oh the D Oh shit I forgot to cover the DRM.
Oh bro that was I missed that skip that week when the DRM
fiasco hit it was hilarious Sony there were of good.
While people are wondering what the hell is going on with the
DRM policy, did Sony implement DRM?
And what followed about that uncertainty was an incredible 24
hours of absolute memeage memes so potent.
That I've got. People salty to this day.
To this day. In my replies talking about oh
you what did you make some memes?
And I made. Some glorious memes.
I made some memes and I always said if it's real, I was.
I never knew it was real, but it's like, if it's real, that's
fucking crazy. And there's Mark Cerny heading
towards the PlayStation offices. Mark Cerny, her siding, but
Herman. Houston's had with.
Nibs of long ass post the background Mark Sony with DRM
box that has had as the PlayStation 6 is struggling to
find components to be built and Mark said he putting his name
down the PlayStation alumni. Oh mark Sony.
This is why we need more execs with weird looking faces, man.
It just makes it so much more fun and memeable.
But Jim Ryan had a fucking incredible face man and pause.
But it was amazing. It's like it's a meme factor.
Even Phil Spencer's got like this weird character meme it.
I know it's meme. You shouldn't really make fun of
the way they look and but I'm just saying it's distinctive.
Look at that. How can you not mean that it's
beautiful? Like Asha Sharma looks really
nice. She's really pretty and you're
like, OK, but should not. Well, you can make beams.
I mean like I did with the grill, but it's different kind
different kind like Reggie. Reggie feeling mate good, bro.
What kind of face is that? I'm not saying it's ugly or
anything. I'm just saying like, you know,
like Jay Leno's chin like that. That distinctive quality in
their faces is Gabe. Gabe is like a freaking wizard.
Yeah. Dark Outlaws Games was found in
2025 of March and closed down in March 2026.
Well done Sony. What?
Oh yeah.
Forgot about. Them it's what was.
It it was a they even make a game.
What was it? Some weird soon you know what
talks about. Game is a meme.
Dream you had. Why even freaking?
What's his name? He works at Tencent now.
He had a meme memeable face. What's his name?
Sean Laden. Sean Laden.
Phil Spencer. Aaron Greenberg.
Although Anne Green. Was more marketing than
anything. Saturn, Adela to.
A certain degree, but he's the head of the.
But yeah, Saturn Adela, he's bold.
Have I tried NTE? No.
Yeah, Laden, Don Mattrick, there's a lot, there's loads of
people that had that really funny, like distinctive faces
that you could really make memes out of, but.
Yeah. What else have we got to cover?
I don't think so. I think I but yeah, that that.
DRM face was. Brilliant.
Man, it was so much fun. People are so pissed.
It was amazing. What else?
Nah, I think we've covered everything.
Chat chat, smash the like button.
If you enjoyed the this little this little solo show, all dudes
are memeable. Yeah, everyone can be meme to a
sad degree. I've got a very meme bubble
face. Holy shit.
Can mean the shit out of it. But you need more execs with.
More memeable faces. The energy drink has.
Faded. Absolutely.
Thank God for that bruv. I want to sleep.
I've got so much shit to do tomorrow.
I want to play return oil as well but I'm knackered.
I have to do the time stamps and stuff.
I've got really good videos working out.
I've I've. Found my septic outfit so you
know that septic is coming back for those who don't know what
septic is. You should know.
What septic is, But I've only made like 2 videos with him and
really finding the outfit. So it's a lot of work a lot of
work making videos like that, but I have to do 11 a week.
I can't do the the routine slot videos, man, like literally just
go in there to hit the algo like, you know, I can't do that,
which is not great for the channel growth because that's
how we. Grow but I.
Want to be one of those channels that makes this is known for
really good high quality production videos and people
find their way there eventually, but it's hard.
Septic is bungee right now. I mean.
We will ask Shake to. Is it Mother's Day over?
There tomorrow I don't know I don't know if it is I should
know anyway chat hit the like button make some love with each
other and thank you. I think I've read all the Super
chat thank you so much. Honestly it was good.
I love this other shows, I actually really do enjoy them
but I will get some guests over. But you want to get guests for
some big topics. I will have another.
Guest on a different show, potentially very soon.
So I'll touch. Base on.
Everyone chat I'll. Just let you know look next
couple like I'm getting. Married in about.
Less than a month, so should have been streaming the next two
weeks. But I.
Might miss oh next three weeks yeah next week, so I should be
all right need to get this video out anyway guys smash the like
button. I'll put this on I'll do the
time stamps later and I'll put this on Spotify.
The reason why Spotify comes up a bit late in Apple podcast is
because because it's the stream is 4040 P it takes a while to it
takes a whole day to process on YouTube, so I can't even
download it. So that's why.
But yeah. Yeah, Port Rock.
It was fun game Port Rock. I like to have dissenting
opinions though. But yeah, all right, take it
peeps. I will see you next week safe.
