It's called bloody, it's called 149 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,000 replaced, and it's out right now. 150 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,440 And here we go. I'll pick the right button. 151 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,400 They just started playing it today. 152 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,040 It's got decent reviews. Well, actually has it. 153 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,840 I don't know what this matter is like, but people who I talked to 154 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,560 said that they enjoyed it and I'm just, I'm just, I want to 155 00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,840 check it right now on my phone. What's the replacement? 156 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,240 It doesn't matter, boy. It does matter because it's 7636 157 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,640 reviews, so decent amount of reviews. 158 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,320 It's not even exactly that high, but I really hope the 159 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:42,160 developers, well, I either way, I hope what the developers do 160 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,920 well, irrespective of the critical reception. 161 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,880 But at the same time, with Indies, you've got to be a 162 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,920 little bit naturally, you're like, alright, smaller team, 163 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,600 we've got to, you've got to give them a little bit more love. 164 00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:56,920 But that doesn't mean that they escape the critical lens. 165 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,040 And I've been really enjoying it. 166 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,840 The game is actually really beautiful. 167 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,640 I know it like pixel art isn't for everyone, but look at it, 168 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,080 look at this shit. It's just really nice 169 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,560 soundtrack. The even the combat, it's just a 170 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:11,960 simple game. I feel like the way the premise 171 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,800 of the game was, there's almost a desire that, you know, the 172 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,600 visuals are so strong. I feel like they don't match up 173 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,320 sometimes with the scope. Like I, I felt like, well, and I 174 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,880 know this sounds weird, but I felt like maybe something deeper 175 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,560 like Disco Elysium mixed with this combat would have been 176 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,920 epic. But that that's like a, because 177 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,960 that's the, so that's how strong the strength of the visuals are. 178 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,160 But at the same time, you know that would alienate a lot of 179 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,200 people because Disco Elysium is certainly very niche. 180 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,600 So be playing replace and it's it's a good game, and I wonder 181 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,960 if any of you guys have played it Xbox first yes, this is this 182 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,080 is one of those rare games that's not on PlayStation, but 183 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,600 it's on Xbox and PC. I'm sure it'll land on 184 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,800 PlayStation eventually, but it's a really good game, really fun 185 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,080 game. Oh, have I done here? 186 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,840 Oh shit, don't play showing my steam. 187 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:11,600 Why did my steam page come up? That's weird and Steam is the 188 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,680 best. Are you playing it on Steam? 189 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,400 This is the only game I've actually this is the only game 190 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,800 I'm playing. I'm at to play on the Xbox app 191 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,960 Atrocious. Atrocious. 192 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,200 I didn't realise I had my game pass sub running for the last 193 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,960 six months because I wanted to test something out and then I 194 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,160 was like fuck, I've paid game pass for no reason. 195 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,880 So can I transfer the saves to the PC version and then play on 196 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:38,840 Steam? Because I'm going to buy on 197 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,400 Steam. Anyone need to cancel game pass? 198 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,400 I swear to using the freaking Xbox app. 199 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,840 It was rage inducing. Good luck Xbox when you're 200 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,200 trying to do this whole PC hybrid thing because I cannot 201 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,160 and Steam is so nice for me. Steam is beautiful. 202 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,800 Steam is so much more. It's simplistic blah blah blah. 203 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,680 I don't give a shit. I love the minimal it just works 204 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,840 for me. I hate Xbox install. 205 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,280 I hate Xbox install yeah, so the sad game pass only I'm like 206 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,800 fucks I've had game pass all this time I've I was paying for 207 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,360 it the PC version only and I need to cancel it as you under 208 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,240 you need to understand. I spend now over like six £700 a 209 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,760 month on just subscriptions and this one just managed to load 210 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,600 itself through. I need to cancel that, but I 211 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,320 will get honesty Gaz with the Subs man a lot You probably have 212 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,200 like 2K worth of well six £700 now because I went for the 213 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,800 expensive Claude one, the pro version and that's like Nike 214 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,480 quid or something. I don't know what this I'm a 215 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,920 slut when it comes to subscriptions just terrible for 216 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,760 it and I I need to manage my affairs. 217 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,880 I need help. Please help me, help me. 218 00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:56,840 I need an intervention. Yeah, but yeah, this is on Game 219 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,080 Pass. So the player is sick, is a is a 220 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,160 meme. It's a Dang chime. 221 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,360 It's a schlag cream. The combat's really good as 222 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,760 well. And this I think I have got a 223 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:11,480 footage of some combat. Well, Oh my God, What have I 224 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,040 done here? Yeah, it's just, it's just a 225 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,960 really good game. So do check it out. 226 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,240 Do check it out. It's a really good game. 227 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,080 And I think it's worth, if it's on, if it's on Game Pass, try it 228 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,120 out. That's a good thing about Game 229 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,840 Pass. You you get to just try it out. 230 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:31,640 And the problem is it has been absolutely merked when it comes 231 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,520 to the value proposition of it owing to the price hike, which 232 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,480 is an excellent segue to the next top pack. 233 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:48,960 Yeah, yeah. Xbox Game Pass, is it the best 234 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,240 value in gaming? Remember that line? 235 00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:57,000 It's almost expired now, you don't hear it anymore. 236 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,320 The best value in gaming. Everyone to say the. 237 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,960 Best value and I and it was. It was the best value in gaming 238 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,920 by far, by far. Nothing came close. 239 00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:13,080 The game passed. Nothing came close. 240 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:22,400 And remarkably, remarkably candid, Asha Sharma comes back 241 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:29,200 and says it's too expensive. That is something that we all 242 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,440 knew. But but you know what does that 243 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,360 mean? It means Xbox Game Pass was 244 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,480 making after that price hike. You remember the freaking 245 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,920 website to cancel the sub crash? It was ridiculous. 246 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,840 I will show you some tweets from peoples that were talking about 247 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,960 it but really it's quite indicative of just how bad they 248 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,400 must have been bleeding Subs. I'm telling you right now 249 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,200 they're not announcing their numbers but they must have lost 250 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,280 a shit tonne of Subs after that price hike. 251 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:04,880 It became from best value in gaming to not nearly necessary 252 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,880 at this point and that is a massive, massive misstep from 253 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,960 Microsoft who I don't know what they were thinking and Ashley 254 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,840 Sharma acknowledges that by saying it's too expensive is is 255 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,080 basically saying we got mugged. I reckon they lost about fuck. 256 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,360 How many How many Subs do you think they lost? 257 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,000 How many millions of subscribers do you think they lost? 258 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000 I think they lost shit tonne of subscribers. 259 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,160 Shit tonne of subscribers. Asha's had a good start. 260 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,200 We'll see. I mean, look, I'll be honest 261 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,800 with you, I don't want to pour cold water over Asha Sharma's 262 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,000 early begins. How much you can do here. 263 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,240 But so far she's made the right moves and she said it in the 264 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,840 right way. But I'm just reminded of the 265 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:55,640 mistakes we all made by, I mean, initially the Xbox execs, when 266 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,880 the Xbox, when Phil Spence had a lot more autonomy, he was saying 267 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,800 the right things, that he was pacified people, he brought 268 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,480 backwards compatibility back. And he was saying, and he did 269 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,720 invest in first party studios. Remember that. 270 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,200 Don't let the the the stables hijack the narrative about that. 271 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,720 That communication was a point where that was backed up. 272 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,880 The bark was backed up by some sort of bite. 273 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,400 And then afterwards the fangs start to get worn down and then 274 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,720 they started parroting the lines of the execs. 275 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,800 Then, then, then then it became a really just a bit, a bit of a 276 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:36,560 shit show, I'm not going to lie. Check out our good friend Neo 277 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,160 Games Spark. He says almost. 278 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,840 After almost six years, I cancelled my Game Pass 279 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,200 membership once it hit $30.00 a month. $30.00 a month is a lot. 280 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,640 It is a lot. With so much entertainment 281 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,760 competing for my time, I didn't need another hefty subservice 282 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,280 just sitting there milking my bank account. 283 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,520 But if they revamped the tears, I may reconsider. 284 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,760 And yeah, this is where Asha Sharma says that it's become too 285 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,440 expensive. And in an internal memo, she 286 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,960 said she wants better value equation. 287 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,839 But what does that actually mean Chat, What does that actually 288 00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:14,160 mean? There've been rumours that 289 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,839 suggest abound about what that means. 290 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:23,240 And I think the reality is we're about to see Call of Duty leave 291 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,720 the game pass some. I don't think I think that one I 292 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,240 mean, this is well, it's still an egg on their face removing 293 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,160 Call of Duty. But at the same time, does it? 294 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,840 Would you rather they let me do a poll? 295 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,640 Let me do a poll. But I know what the answer's 296 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,400 going to be. Pragmata we'll talk about in a 297 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,840 bit. Yeah, man, Luke reached out to 298 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,120 me and says you need to check out Pragmata with path tracing 299 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:55,520 is insane. And we need to talk about the 300 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:00,120 PlayStation guys who are really going hard on the PSSR thing and 301 00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:04,680 compete thinking that they that this console competes with PC is 302 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,560 so stupid. I don't know what they're doing. 303 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,640 It's so embarrassing. And then there's some a lot of 304 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,000 the PC guys are arguing toe to toe with them like why, why why 305 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,080 are you doing that? Makes no sense. 306 00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:17,200 Anyway, with Game Pass. What was I going to say? 307 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:29,560 Should X girl XGP Game Pass get rid of Cod for a cheaper price? 308 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:36,280 That's a weird, weird, badly worded Paul, as always. 309 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,760 But let's see. I don't think there's much 310 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,000 goodwill now with Call. Call of Duty is the big 311 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,760 mainstream title. And yes, you know, I don't think 312 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,040 that it's brought in that many numbers. 313 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,680 I still think Xbox Game Passes marketing has been atrocious. 314 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,040 Like for a service that's that's supposed to be so disruptive. 315 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,360 I never done anything in terms of even the marketing people 316 00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:04,160 still out there, the filthy casuals still don't know. 317 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,520 I have to say, do you have game pass or what's that? 318 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,520 They just think it's like that, oh, Xbox Gold paid to play 319 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:16,360 online to play online. Just say because who plays COD 320 00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:20,360 now? I remember a while ago when I 321 00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:23,360 was on Fonz's show and everyone was coming at me and I said for 322 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:25,200 one reason. Do you think Call of Duty will 323 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,960 be a juggernaut forever? There's No title like that that 324 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,640 will stay a juggernaut forever. And this IP has been an 325 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,480 Activision have the same hubris when it came to like their 326 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,080 guitar heroes and other multiple other titles. 327 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,600 Call of Duty is the same and they need to be under pressure 328 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,440 anyway. But I don't think like at the 329 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,600 cost of the the price. Call of Duty will most likely be 330 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,880 removed from Game Pass. Do it, but make it cheaper. 331 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,080 And also more fundamentally this is the tier I would be 332 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,360 interested in consciously sub to, not unconsciously 333 00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:06,000 unknowingly sub to make a first party only game past year that's 334 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,080 much cheaper. Like a really really good value 335 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:14,800 proposition. Say it's like we have £9 or £10 336 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,560 or whatever. I don't even know what the 337 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,240 current price is, but that kind of cheaper price. 338 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,800 That price point for the sub when we get a lot more people, a 339 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,440 lot more people danked danked on on that. 340 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,960 I think Call of Duty has been a juggernaut for a decades. 341 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,840 More like Pokémon. It's dog water shit games but 342 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:44,320 still sell incredibly well. Jerry's out for the next one. 343 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,480 Call of Duty always goes through their cycle man. 344 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,080 So a lot of people like Game Pass is the reason why the 345 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,080 qualities dwindled. I'm like that's not the reason 346 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,080 why quality And Call of Duty has been doing this cycle for ages. 347 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,120 For decades. You've seen it from the Ghosts 348 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,800 to Freaky and what Vanguard to it always happens. 349 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,240 Multiple studios are working on Call of Duty. 350 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,640 Sometimes they just shit it out, do the bare minimum, then they 351 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,520 realise, oh we need to go back to our core and our strengths 352 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:13,840 and then they've reckoned the team. 353 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,920 You can tell when the team actually goes out their way to 354 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,720 spend some time to think about how to make it better. 355 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,600 But I I'll be honest with you, they really need to seriously 356 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,960 reconsider the whole thing. Problem is they don't really 357 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,440 have that much big competition other than other shooters in 358 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,800 this space. Everyone's hoping Battlefield 359 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,600 would be the one that would make the dank memes, but Battlefield 360 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,360 hasn't been. It had a had a really strong 361 00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:39,360 start and it looked really positive, but the long term 362 00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:44,440 proposition of it just dwindled. And it's really sad. 363 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,360 It's because we needed and it's a good game. 364 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,960 It's a good game, but I haven't gone back to it for a while. 365 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:55,840 And and actually thanks to Naruto for sure reminding me to 366 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:01,080 watch this today. Battlefield has a really good 367 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,520 road map. Now they've released a video a 368 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,480 couple of days ago about what they're planning to do with it 369 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,400 and what they the kind of content that people have been 370 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:10,760 asking for. So they've been really 371 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,200 receptive, you know, listening in to the the reception on, on, 372 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,960 on on this. I'll try and skip the video. 373 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,480 So you're going to have a look at it. 374 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,040 But basically we want a lot more see, you know, the water maps, 375 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:27,040 Cairo bazaar, they basically revamp the reject the old map 376 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,400 made it sick and like they're they're catering for everything. 377 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,480 You've got your close, you know, close quarters maps, and you've 378 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,880 also got your large maps. I think the big update for me is 379 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,400 the you'll see it here. This this the season 4 map, 380 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,360 which comes starts in July. And I don't know like the time 381 00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:49,200 is like ticking for battlefield man, but I can see there's 382 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,480 having a resurgence when this big map comes out. 383 00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:55,480 You get naval warfare coming back again, which is brilliant 384 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,680 and they've got some classic maps. 385 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,800 I forgot the name of the map, the the classic one. 386 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,440 This is a new one called Suru Reef. 387 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:08,200 But they've also done a rejig of the a classic map and we needed 388 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,040 more space in here as well. Look at that. 389 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,760 Oh shit, Wake Island. That's it. 390 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,800 Thank you. Wake Island is coming back This 391 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,720 is a classic classic battlefield map. 392 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,280 So whether or not this will actually make some memes I don't 393 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,600 know, but battlefield desperately needs the player 394 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,960 numbers. I actually should check Let me 395 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,360 check what battlefield steam charts? 396 00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:31,920 What do they say? It's interesting how this 397 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,800 generation steam charts have become really kind of used a lot 398 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,640 to determine what, how a game is doing. 399 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,280 And you know, it speaks to 1 the prevalence and the strength of 400 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:48,280 PC gaming. Basically how, how, how, how big 401 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:53,400 it is, how mainstream it is. And you know this, what can you 402 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,560 say? I mean, look at the charts at 403 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,240 the moment it's got 54,000, which is not a bad number, not a 404 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,520 bad number. I mean, that's now like, I mean, 405 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,600 a lot of people are talking about the death of marathon and 406 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,040 I, I really don't want that game to die. 407 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,680 And I, I, that's one game I nervously look at the player 408 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,440 numbers for. And so at 50,000, that's, you 409 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,680 know, that's not bad. Well, but it's not Call of Duty 410 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,680 numbers, I'll be honest with you, but they mean you look at 411 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:24,760 this and marathons at 22,000 and 24 hour people's at 25,000. 412 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,400 It's hovering around there and you know that this is most 413 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:35,600 likely going to have a stronger player support on PC. 414 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,640 I'm nervous about marathon. It's going to be one of those 415 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,240 games that I don't want to fail. I really don't want to fail. 416 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,080 It reminds me of what I wanted with Titanfall 2. 417 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,000 And it was a painful exercise because you start to when you're 418 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,360 the player queues. And I played a lot of Titanfall 419 00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:57,080 one and two and the, the, the, the games got longer to find, 420 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,160 the matchmaking was longer. And I was like, Oh no, I didn't 421 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,320 save things happening with marathon. 422 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:09,960 I'm like, no, no please. Multiplayer space is so freaking 423 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,840 competitive. You can build a good game and 424 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,720 it's still not enough man. You have to capture the 425 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,040 zeitgeist at the right time in the right place. 426 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,120 Brev, what's up hunty? You're missing Chelsea. 427 00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:21,640 I don't watch football. Football. 428 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:33,080 This is a tune. Marathon needs a big update. 429 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,640 If it's done right, it may bring back beyond life. 430 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,960 Yes, Marathon definitely needs a big update man. 431 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,640 To save itself. But yeah, ultimately Game pass 432 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,960 and go back to Game pass. It also needs an update to save 433 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,400 itself. I think it's a lot more 434 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,960 critical. I think a lot of people would be 435 00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:51,680 surprised, not like surprised but shocked at the number of 436 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,520 Subs it most likely have bled as a result. 437 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:56,920 They're still committed to Game Pass. 438 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,720 She's saying it's very expensive. 439 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,200 A lot of people are saying they were just going to crater it and 440 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,680 the whole thing about but is it sustainable? 441 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,000 They're still backing it. They're still backing it. 442 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,960 They made big missteps when it comes to the service, big 443 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,120 missteps in terms of how they're marketing it. 444 00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:17,680 They're still failing with that. And they really need to reignite 445 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:24,560 the the the fire there A first party only subscription tier too 446 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,680 many tiers anyway. It's just freaking annoying. 447 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,080 But as game buzz only subscription tier would be sick. 448 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,520 And if you made it and they have to they have. 449 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,600 I don't know how they're going to reconcile this. 450 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,520 They're going PC right? The next Xbox is APC thing. 451 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,080 You can market this as like game. 452 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,320 Well, just drop the pay to play online stuff. 453 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,640 You need to be disruptive. You need to be disruptive and 454 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:59,560 whether or not Xbox has the test to please to do it remains to be 455 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,240 seen. Remains to be seen Xbox needs to 456 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,920 do something desperately in my opinion to be relevant and a lot 457 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,440 of people are like, oh, they're third party publisher, they're 458 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,760 OK to post on the you know, software sales this and that. 459 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,160 And I'm like brav, which leads me which leads me to the next 460 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:22,560 topic, which is a topic that's burning in everyone's throats, 461 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,480 exclusives. What is going on? 462 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,760 What's going on here? Why? 463 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,680 Why am I observing huh? Why am I observing? 464 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,360 A lot of U turns from the narratives of a lot of people. 465 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,160 People love the this is an Xbox thing. 466 00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:45,120 They said oh stop gatekeeping exclusives, stop gatekeeping 467 00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:49,480 games Xbox is smart, this is 4D quadruple D chairs blah blah 468 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,920 blah. I just at one point when they 469 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,600 made a PlayStation capitulate seemingly by them going third 470 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:03,400 party, I was like OK maybe we were wrong, but Sony smart they 471 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,000 went back and said fuck it we're not making enough money from it. 472 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,720 Well, we don't know yet Assuming Jason's drive is right expert 473 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,240 PlayStation said Nah, let's just pay it back our single player 474 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,440 support on PC and focus on that device and it's a smart player. 475 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,480 I don't know why they would even consider doing it when they you 476 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,040 know for them gaming, Sony gaming is everything. 477 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:28,720 But now we're hearing rumblings that Xbox are considering all 478 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,440 and I'll be honest, I have a very specific take of where the 479 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,440 reality actually is with this case. 480 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,760 But it's important that they realise. 481 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,960 And I spoke to, you know, we had Jeff, Jeff, we had Jess Gordon 482 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,480 lost on last week talking about it. 483 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:55,360 But this is coming for from from Jess and by Insider Gaming. 484 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,480 Xbox is having very big discussions about exclusivity it 485 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,400 is claimed. Could Xbox be rethinking its 486 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,040 policy and exclusives when it comes to 1st party games? 487 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,840 That's what Windows Central said. 488 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,600 Jazz has said he talks about Call of Duty. 489 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,160 You know why? How I said they were thinking 490 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,800 about adjusting Game Pass. They are very, very, very big 491 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,640 discussions about exclusivity stuff going on. 492 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,280 I think they do recognise the value just about what kind of 493 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,840 company you want to be at the end of the day. 494 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,560 Do you want to be an ecosystem company 1st or do you want to be 495 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:30,440 a publishing company 1st? What's going on? 496 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:38,920 What's going on huh? Exclusives. 497 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:45,880 Are you guys Care now?

Just get over it. 500 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,320 Xbox has played 14 chairs. Stop gamekeeping. 501 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,920 Exclusives are antiquated. I've got AMD graphics card. 502 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,800 I'm a twat, but I'll keep chatting about Xbox exclusives. 503 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:16,800 Yeah, listen, how many people from the PC crowd who just 504 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,080 talked about exclusive lack of exclusives and they don't give a 505 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,080 shit about competition, blah blah, blah blah, blah. 506 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,840 Absolute nonsense, absolute nonsense. 507 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,920 Of course, so many of the PC guys were crying about, they 508 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,320 don't understand, they will completely ignore the history 509 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,200 behind the the the landscape that basically formed the gaming 510 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,440 space. So they were getting their hard 511 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,200 on thinking about how exclusivity was disappearing and 512 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,240 not realising what exclusivity has done for the space, what 513 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,880 these platform holders, the energy they bring in the space. 514 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,320 And you're Jess's company is right. 515 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,280 Do you want to be an eco ecosystem company, a publishing 516 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,520 company? First, I said this last week, 517 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:03,720 you cannot if Xbox has so short sighted that they and people are 518 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,960 like, oh, do you want, do you want the studios to die? 519 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,040 Do you want their games to fail? Listen, man, Microsoft's a 520 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,240 trillion dollar company. Are you sitting there crying 521 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:12,800 about? But it's still a business. 522 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,920 Every freaking shitty decision that they make, you back it and 523 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,440 swallow it up. But now you want to freaking go, 524 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,080 you know, have your little violin. 525 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,400 Oh, it's good for gaming. Yeah. 526 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,040 The secretly all these guys on the Xbox podcast, they want, 527 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,440 they want exclusives back. But this is this is what a safe 528 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,320 face? The parasocial crew. 529 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,960 Oh, yeah, it's good. Why you gatekeeping it? 530 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:41,840 It's bullshit. It's bullshit. 531 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,960 It's stupid. And now we're hearing it. 532 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,600 Do I think that Xbox will do it though? 533 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,400 Do I think Xbox has the testicles to do it? 534 00:31:54,360 --> 00:32:01,520 And the answer to that is no, I don't think Xbox will do it. 535 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:09,680 I think what Xbox might do is a sum because they're not 536 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,840 committed to day and day on PlayStation just yet, but 537 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:18,200 conveniently with things that align with the launch of the 538 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,680 next Xbox, they might be more minded to try and make sure. 539 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,560 Well, they have to. They have to, you know, when 540 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,880 they have a marketing strategy should suggest that, you know, 541 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,160 you want to make sure that the next console that or hybrid that 542 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,440 you're revealing has to have some sort of bluster. 543 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:40,960 You start releasing these games at the same time as on 544 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,000 PlayStation Kill, it kills the hype. 545 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,560 People are like, well I'll just get on PlayStation. 546 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,000 So the Xbox isn't a rock between a rock and a hard place. 547 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,800 It's finally had a taste and the flavour of PlayStation money, 548 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,240 despite all the PlayStation fanboys saying that they don't 549 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,400 give a shit about PlayStation Xbox games. 550 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,640 They they really care about Xbox game right now. 551 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,680 One of the most serial hardcore PlayStation fanboy J dub is 552 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,640 playing Microsoft Flight Simulator on his PlayStation and 553 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,040 so many PlayStation guys really went out of their way to support 554 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,640 Forza Horizon. Apparently. 555 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,400 Well, I don't know that's a linear analytical. 556 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,520 I don't really trust their numbers really after some of the 557 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,440 weird reporting and the metrics that they utilised. 558 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:32,520 But you know what, what's apparently it's, you know, how 559 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,760 many millions have they sold off Forza Horizon? 560 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,800 I just don't think it's that much to sacrifice a long term 561 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,240 game. This is a short term play from 562 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,280 Xbox. They don't get it. 563 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,080 They just don't get it. That means either they don't 564 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,640 have the appetite to really back their brand and I don't think 565 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,880 they have that much faith. Like, they gave so much pressure 566 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,080 from Satya and all this we need to make and, you know, Amy Hood 567 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,440 and all of them, it needs to be a viable business. 568 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,320 We have to make sure that the numbers make sense. 569 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,280 Yes. And then Phil Spencer comes out 570 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,480 and say, you know, it doesn't matter if even if you release a 571 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,320 big game, it's not going to change the fucking thing. 572 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,680 I mean, of course it isn't going to change. 573 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,239 One singular game is not going to change anything. 574 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,080 You spend the entirety of last Gen just flopping and now you're 575 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,199 thinking, oh, no, yeah, if Starfield was a massive hit, it 576 00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:19,880 won't change the fate of anything. 577 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,920 No shit, what do you mean? What goodwill did you build in 578 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,360 the brand? You can't sit out an entire 579 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,440 generation, shit it completely shit the entire generation you 580 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,639 shat it. Name me the killer apps on the 581 00:34:35,639 --> 00:34:39,639 in the Xbox One generation and they'll be like a singular 582 00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:41,000 figures. Not even that. 583 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,920 And then what? So how can you build? 584 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,840 And now you have to, Now you're a publishing powerhouse. 585 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:53,080 Xbox has so many studios. And this is The funny thing. 586 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,520 If you have the renegade spirit and actually realise what the 587 00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,560 long term play is and you have the ferocity to back back your 588 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,240 bark, you would go exclusives because you know, like, OK, we 589 00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:07,640 have Elder Scrolls, we are Microsoft or we are Xbox and we 590 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:14,520 have the whole suite of first person shooters, Western RPGs. 591 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,840 We've got so much shit. That's what they would be saying 592 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,320 and they should be saying well fuck it, let's just go. 593 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,760 How much money are they actually making though? 594 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,360 Other than Forza Horizon? Maybe Doom? 595 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,760 I don't think that the numbers justify the dilution of the 596 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,600 brand. But again, I say it's untenable 597 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,680 that I don't. I just don't see Xbox going back 598 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,000 to exclusives. But I'm hearing random stuff 599 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,440 about the look. Everything is fluid. 600 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,560 If it wasn't for Xbox, I would say God to come back and bring 601 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,440 back exclusives. I am very, very, very, very 602 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,800 strong proponent of exclusives. I think it'll make they all 603 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,520 change the energy in the space so much. 604 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,840 It would be and and when I say exclusives, I'm not saying that 605 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,520 PC will go with there's no the next console is a freaking PC 606 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,120 hybrid. So how you can some people like, 607 00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:07,240 well, if it's true exclusives, they need to remove PC games as 608 00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:08,040 well. It's not going to happen. 609 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,000 It's just not going to happen. Shout out to Epic Treasure. 610 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,400 Thank you so much for the gifted membership that 187 received. 611 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:23,440 Yeah.

No. 617 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,600 Do you think Xbox will go back to exclusives? 618 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:54,080 Let's see so many podcasts and stuff. 619 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,920 They went out and did AU turn on this. 620 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,760 They swallowed the stuff they they just said. 621 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,920 Oh no, exclusively disappearing is great, blah, blah, blah, blah 622 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:08,760 blah, and they came at me for saying it's just nonsense. 623 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,440 How on earth and go go on any video on Xbox. 624 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,480 Now look, I'll show you let me show you just how crazy it is. 625 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,120 Xbox Matt booty came out of this week and did an interview, 626 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:26,320 talked about how collegiate the different studios are. 627 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,800 They're working together and it's it's actually really nice 628 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,920 to see. You know, we've we've been 629 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,280 hammering for ages. We talked about, you know, how 630 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:40,760 good would it be when, if Xbox went back to oh, I've got it 631 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,560 here. They did it on their podcast. 632 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,080 If you go on this podcast and you'll see the comments, all 633 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,120 you'll see is the top comments of this video. 634 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,520 Bring back exclusives, bring back exclusives, bring back 635 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:53,960 exclusives. Top comments are bring back 636 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:59,200 exclusives because people, what's the strength of the 637 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:00,880 brand? If you don't bring it, don't you 638 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,480 don't have any real identity anyway. 639 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,080 This this is a video by Matt Boot. 640 00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:09,440 Brian Fargo Studio in Exile, working on Clockwork Revolution. 641 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,880 These guys is what we've talked about for a while that they, we 642 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,640 wanted the studios to work. You know why? 643 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,560 Why is Xbox the focus so much attention for from the 644 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,840 PlayStation Podcast almost wholly talk about Xbox. 645 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,080 Everyone really talks about Xbox despite the fact that it fumbles 646 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,880 all the time. Why is Xbox always in the 647 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,880 conversation? Because it's just a fascinating, 648 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,400 fascinating premiership from this from this company that had 649 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,320 a meteoric rise in the 360 jet disrupted stuff from the 650 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,960 original Xbox managed to land something called Halo that just 651 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,600 changed everything did led the way with online gameplay on 652 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,320 consoles and with achievements, blah blah blah. 653 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,440 And then they keep fumbling about. 654 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,120 They keep fumbling about, but they're still quite a young in 655 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,440 terms of the space. Like that's why you're like, we 656 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,240 follow it so strongly. You're like, oh, it would be 657 00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:00,680 really nice. They in 2018, they start buying 658 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,200 all these studios and then you're like, OK, imagine what 659 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,680 these students could do. They start working together 660 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,680 because they got such mad talent. 661 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,640 So you got its software. Everyone's like, get them to 662 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,720 work on Halo. Its software should work on 663 00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:15,480 Halo. And now we also talked about 664 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,520 tech sharing. Imagine if this, you know, the 665 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,600 water physics and, and the rest of thieves was used for another 666 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,120 game and blah, blah, blah. And we, we've been talking about 667 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,920 it for ages, But right now we're starting to see that it's 668 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:30,800 actually come to come to like maturity, like they're really 669 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:31,840 the student. Listen to it. 670 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,920 They're able to benefit from all of the really technical work 671 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,360 that they're doing up at the Coalition. 672 00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:40,360 And there was other examples. We've got the Blizzard 673 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,320 Cinematics team helping out on Fable we've. 674 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,680 The Blizzard cinematic team, the best of the best. 675 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,520 They're the best of the best. I always use their cinematics 676 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,040 for a reason. Everyone who knows Blizzard 677 00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:53,760 cinematics team, they're wicked. Them working on Fable? 678 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,960 Amazing. Got our studio in Montreal, 679 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,680 Compulsion Games using the Activision Mocap studio we've 680 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,800 got. Team Mocap is another big one, 681 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,160 so Ninja Theory as well as another big one. 682 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,920 They have a really good mocap studio. 683 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,720 So now you know the different studios starting to, so now 684 00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:11,680 you're going to get that kind of quality in terms of well across 685 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,120 the board. Well Compulsion games still have 686 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,240 a lot to prove in my opinion, but safe. 687 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,760 I think the team at Rare with a lot of multiplayer experience 688 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,600 working on CF Thieves helping out double fine. 689 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,480 Which is interesting because Rare hasn't done anything for 690 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:26,560 ages. Safe. 691 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,200 And kiln the pottery game. So there's a lot of examples of 692 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,120 that. You know, one maybe just to sort 693 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:36,760 of show a more complicated round trip, you had State of Decay 2, 694 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,880 which had some pretty sophisticated technology for 695 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:44,040 doing saving shared worlds and how you sort of save this 696 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,200 persistent state. Which is again funny because 697 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,280 State of Decay too had that awful tethering shit, you know, 698 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,960 and and that was awful, but they also, they had to use a lot of 699 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,400 stuff. So you have that persistent 700 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,360 stuff that you leave in because it was a shared well. 701 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,080 And the team at Obsidian, which is a really small team that 702 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:05,200 built grounded, took that tech to use in Grounded, but then the 703 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,200 people at Obsidian kind of added to it and now it's gone 1st 704 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,920 circle back to Undead Labs to be in State of Decay 3. 705 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,840 So that's. Which is interesting because now 706 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,360 State of Decay 3 doesn't have that tethering bullshit, so 707 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,360 that's nice. So you decide to see and then it 708 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,320 goes on for a while. There's quite a lot, a lot of 709 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,320 examples here. I'll just read it out here for 710 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,360 you guys. King and Mojang, I don't give a 711 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:27,920 shit. Obsidian, you know, we've talked 712 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,960 about that now. Minecraft, in game stuff, I 713 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,880 think we've covered everything. But yeah, so that's really good. 714 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,760 So I mean, we've been talking about it for a while. 715 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,480 It's good to see Xbox Studio start to mature to the point 716 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,320 where they used to just start to share tech. 717 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:41,960 Shouldn't give you some good examples of it. 718 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,880 And yeah, let's see, let's see what happens. 719 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,520 I mean, this isn't necessarily guarantee that they're going to 720 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,520 be bangers, but it's just a specific point about the the 721 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,400 teams are trying to work on it. Now what? 722 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,960 What is what is freaking the issue with Halo Studios? 723 00:41:57,240 --> 00:41:59,880 Someone needs to help them. Someone needs to help Halo 724 00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:03,360 Studios because Halo has been an absolute shit show under 343, 725 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,200 which is what Halo Studios is now, just a different name. 726 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:11,800 And I'm sorry, I, I, I should have saved all of this stuff 727 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,520 when Pierre Hintsay and his team were appointed. 728 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,760 And I just said there's no guarantee for success. 729 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,160 You guys are just giving them a lot of credit because they fixed 730 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,240 the Master Chief collection and they fixed some of the, the, you 731 00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:24,880 know, road map of Halo infinite. But building a new game, blah 732 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,720 blah blah is not great. And then we hear that the 733 00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:30,480 leadership is absolute ass and I'm and I'm vindicated again. 734 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,760 Again, Son of Vision, thank you so much for the five. 735 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,840 Didn't you see the graph that got released a few days ago? 736 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,680 Of all the games released on PlayStation, only Forza made 737 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,800 over 1,000,000 sales. It's not worth it. 738 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,640 If someone can tag me in on Twitter with that graph, it will 739 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,080 be really helpful because I have seen that graph. 740 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,720 I don't know who made that number. 741 00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:56,440 Again, if it's Alania Analytica or whatever, I just side eyed 742 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,920 them based on the manner in which I see them getting used 743 00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:03,360 all the time. But I just question them, their 744 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:08,520 metrics and calculation methods. So that's why I really earn the 745 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:13,480 side of caution with them. And I know I don't use them so. 746 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,120 But if that's the case, that's terrible. 747 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,520 What's up, Senzu? Good to see you, man. 748 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:23,040 Yeah, I don't know, 3 for three is a shit show. 3 for three is a 749 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,800 shit show. It's absolutely atrocious what 750 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,000 they were. What? 751 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,800 What's happened with Halo? Prove me wrong. 752 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,960 I would happily, happily love to be wrong. 753 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,440 Oh, we've got funds are really in here Chat. 754 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,600 We're going to make some memes. How smoothly am I going to. 755 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,320 Oh, let me put my camera in so you can see my face. 756 00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:44,720 Oh, shit, shit. Must have got this camera. 757 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,000 So funds wait for me, I will make the memes. 758 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,920 It'd be interesting to chop it up with Fonz on this whole point 759 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,960 as well actually. OK, here we go. 760 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,120 I'll put the music up a little bit because Spotify. 761 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,480 Oh sorry, Discord, was going to start pausing it anyway. 762 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,920 Captain Chats, you're a lovely sexual person, I want to put 763 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,800 that on the screen. Shout out to Captain Chats. 764 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:18,400 Everyone's give him a nice little hug and a * bringing up 765 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,920 that graphics. It might be bullshit though. 766 00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:22,440 Elenia Analytica. I don't trust it. 767 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,160 I'll be honest with you. But if that then it's not out of 768 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,240 the realm or possibility that that's those are the kind of 769 00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:35,040 numbers we're seeing phones. I'm just plugging in the camera 770 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:43,400 so you can see my face and we're about to make some memes and I'm 771 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,640 going to invite Fonzarelli. It's going to be the smoothest 772 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:55,960 transition in my life. Oh, Fonzarelli, Fonzarelli. 773 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:27,000 you. Hey. 774 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:30,880 You altitude is killing yourself. 775 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,400 I don't even know what to do. Can you hear me now, I. 776 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,120 Can hear you now. Can you hear? 777 00:45:35,720 --> 00:45:38,080 Me. We are in. 778 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,920 We're in the matrix. We're plugged in. 779 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,240 Oh shit, the name tag's right. Oh God, I've got my face. 780 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,240 What's going on here? Let me turn the camera on. 781 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:52,560 That should fix things, yes. There it is. 782 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,600 I for some reason I've got 2 versions of me. 783 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,320 Let me figure figure that out, yeah. 784 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,120 Why am I? Figure it out. 785 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,960 Why am I appearing twice? Oh, there he is. 786 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,680 Oh shit, we saw it. We saw it at chat, we saw that. 787 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,760 Has he got that? No, all right. 788 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,040 Head roll. Yeah, all. 789 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:15,480 Right. See ya. 790 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,400 It's going to use my this camera, but I'm thinking it's 791 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,040 all right. It's all right. 792 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:18,760 It's all right. It's all right. 793 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:20,160 How you doing, Fonzie? Good. 794 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,920 Doing great, doing awesome, doing fantastic. 795 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,160 Everything's going good, man. Thanks for joining us, man. 796 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,000 I was in the midst of talking about what is going on with Xbox 797 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,320 and exclusivity. And it's really handy because 798 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,520 we've got I don't know if you can see it on on the stream, but 799 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,080 we've got captain chats have brought up this graphic, which 800 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,280 again, our massive disclaimer. Again, I don't know if Alania 801 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:52,480 analytical analytics numbers are on point, but I don't feel like 802 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:57,280 these numbers are beyond not that out there. 803 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,360 Apparently on PlayStation, Starfield has sold 140,000, 804 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:05,000 which is weird. In in one week after Wall Street 805 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:10,880 was 100 sold 160 K total Flight SIM has sold 245,000 and Ninja 806 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:16,320 Gaiden has sold 257,000. About South of measly 54K, Age 807 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:20,600 of Empires 452K and South of midnight 16 K Yeah yeah. 808 00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:22,000 And then these. Sounds about right. 809 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:23,560 It does sound right though, doesn't it? 810 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,640 It doesn't seem like it's out of the realm of possibility. 811 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,600 That's a really talk to me. A lot of people are now you've 812 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,840 seen the the chatter. You know, Jess Corden was saying 813 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,840 that basically there's some very fierce discussions about whether 814 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,720 or not Xbox will bring back exclusives. 815 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:42,400 I am on the square the squarely the position of I cannot see it 816 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,320 happening other than some maybe timed exclusivity that may 817 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,120 coincide with the release of the next console. 818 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:52,000 But what, what, what do you think, 11-D1, what do you think 819 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,640 will happen? And two, what do you think Xbox 820 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:59,480 should do in this space? I personally, OK, so I'm going 821 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,800 to go to the second part. Look, I would like to see them 822 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:08,840 compete again on that exclusive level because I think it was 823 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,920 obviously sort of a mistake for them, especially considering how 824 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:17,400 many consoles they sold after they decided to put their games 825 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,320 on PlayStation. People just stop buying consoles 826 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,920 from them. And there's another part to it 827 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,920 too. It's it's not just the fact that 828 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:31,360 they don't have exclusivity, it's also the fact that most of 829 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,480 their games. A lot of. 830 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:37,960 People out there have this, the notion that they just suck or 831 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,640 they're just mid and, and they, you know, even when the game 832 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,800 isn't a terrible game, like for me, I really like Outer Worlds 833 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,480 2. I I had a a blast playing that 834 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:49,880 game. I think it was better than the 835 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:54,440 first in in almost all areas except for a couple, but that's 836 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,400 besides the point. I thought it was a really good 837 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,560 game. However, there's this stigma 838 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,280 around Xbox games that I've talked about here last time I 839 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,520 was on your show, where people just feel like they're not as 840 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:09,800 good as some other competitors. And outside of things like Forza 841 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,880 Horizon, OK, Forza Horizon will sell well across the board. 842 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,120 But as you've seen, even Starfield, Starfield's not 843 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,120 selling so good on PlayStation. And one of the big reasons for 844 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:25,480 that is the fact that that got a really bad take from a lot of 845 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,040 people that didn't even play the game. 846 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,120 They just automatically said that game's mid. 847 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:34,160 And so many casuals just jumped on that and said, yeah, it's it. 848 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:35,960 It's a mid game, I'm not buying it. 849 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,480 And it's like they won't even give him a shot. 850 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,240 And right now there's some discourse around even Elder 851 00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:50,000 Scrolls 6 and the possibility of that game being kind of 852 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,040 overlooked because of certain games that are out now, dare I 853 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:57,320 say Crimson Desert, things like that, that have put a different 854 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,040 spin on the open world genre. They, they've gotten so much 855 00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:04,640 packed into this particular game that a lot of people are asking, 856 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:09,000 why do we need it? I didn't mean to do that. 857 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,200 That was a oh man, why do we need an Elder Scrolls 6? 858 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:18,000 You know, and look, I'm not as hyped for Elder Scrolls 6 859 00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:25,560 because of Starfield because of what was lacking a bit in that 860 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,600 game. And of course that's the 861 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,280 exploration. You know, we've talked about 862 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,520 this before you and I I thought it was a great game. 863 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:36,000 I had a good time with it, but I think that they just kind of 864 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,880 oversold it on the exploration aspect and it just didn't hit in 865 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,640 that regard. But if they would have just 866 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,480 concentrated on 10 planets and didn't have this, you know, 867 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:52,080 procedural worlds happening for 1000, I think it would have been 868 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,680 much, much better. It would have been much better 869 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,560 received. And a lot of people are kind of 870 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,280 looking at it. Also the fact that some of it 871 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,680 felt a bit dated in the game, like there was some aspects 872 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,920 about the game that they were like this creation engine needs 873 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:11,160 work and it needs to be. It needs to get better and I 874 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,320 think they just hold that over to Elder Scrolls 6 as well. 875 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,600 I myself do it. I'm, I'm sitting here like 876 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:20,000 concerned about Elder Scrolls 6 because of the creation engine 877 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:24,600 and because of other games kind of excelling in this open world 878 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:29,280 genre RPG, if you will. So we, you know, there's things 879 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,120 there. But As for Xbox getting back 880 00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:37,720 into exclusivity, I believe what you said earlier, I think 881 00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:42,200 they'll do it on a case by case basis and and it it, it will be 882 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,200 timed. I don't think it's going to be 883 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,400 completely exclusive. You know these games, if they 884 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:52,760 do, they do that. I, I just don't see that they, 885 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,240 they've opened Pandora's box that they'll close again. 886 00:51:56,240 --> 00:51:59,320 And I think, you know, the beginning, it will be convenient 887 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,440 because their development timelines may not permit, 888 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,040 because, you know, later on they met, they may have started Gears 889 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,920 of War Eden, maybe development a little bit later on. 890 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,480 And then the PlayStation version will come out later after the 891 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,280 fact. And so then people will be like, 892 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,640 oh, right, OK, you know, and it suits them with the launch of 893 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,720 the next Gen console coming in where they can just stagger it. 894 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,440 And that's, I mean, I don't even know if Xbox will do even that 895 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:26,320 because to me it's very clear that Xbox just want to that 896 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,640 their user base isn't that strong. 897 00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:36,200 And it would take a very bold move from Asha Sharma. 898 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:40,600 I think for her for Xbox to do that, she would have to fight 899 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,000 Satya Nadella. But Satya Nadella basically 900 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,400 hired her, put her in the place. And I don't think she has that 901 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:46,720 kind of fight. And I think. 902 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,640 Here's the thing, I'm glad you brought up Asha because I said 903 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,360 this on my show the other day. And no, this is not me glazing 904 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:59,160 Xbox at all, people. But I will say, from what I'm 905 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:04,080 hearing from her and what I've seen her do so far, I think that 906 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,720 they're better off going with Asha instead of Sarah and Phil 907 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,600 the way we were, you know, that road we were headed down before. 908 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,280 It just seems like she's kind of doing more right now and trying 909 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,880 to do more now. Actions speak louder than words. 910 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:22,480 I got to see more action from her. 911 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,800 But so far, I like that she got rid of the, you know, this is an 912 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,320 Xbox campaign. I thought, you know, we, we both 913 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,760 thought that was kind of silly. We've had a lot of fun of that 914 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:36,280 behind the scenes too. Understatement, but I mean, if 915 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:40,160 you just look at her attitude and the fact that you have this 916 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:45,600 young person that's got fresh eyes on the company, I think 917 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,280 she's noticing a lot. Like the fact that she even 918 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,520 brought up Game Pass in the price point at all is, is 919 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:56,200 something of a miracle for Xbox. Because honestly, if, if, if the 920 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,360 other two were still at the helm, I don't think we would 921 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,960 have seen anybody go back and revisit any of this stuff. 922 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,280 I don't think they would revisit the price structure at all. 923 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,720 I think they were content with it and it was ludicrous. 924 00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:14,120 Because I'll say it again, people, I've said it many times, 925 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,200 $30 is just too much for this subscription service. 926 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:21,400 Just way too much, way too much. So I do see a lot of things that 927 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,560 she's trying to get right. And I applaud her for that. 928 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,720 I hope she does again, actions speak louder. 929 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:32,720 I want to see her do more, but she I think she's saying a lot 930 00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:36,720 of the right things so far. And this is not a knock on Phil 931 00:54:36,720 --> 00:54:38,800 per SE. Don't don't get me wrong people. 932 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,840 I think Phil, the last couple years for what I've been told 933 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:47,040 this Phil kind of just was in that, you know, I'm about to 934 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:52,720 retire mode and I, I again, anytime you put a fresh new pair 935 00:54:52,720 --> 00:54:55,520 of eyes in there that actually look for things like this and 936 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,560 they're speaking about it's a good idea. 937 00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:03,000 This I, I, I think it so far, I think it's, it's doing well for 938 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,440 them. Absolutely. 939 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,480 I think, I think she's, I mean, speaking is one thing that at 940 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,400 the end of the day, she will be judged for her comment and her 941 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:15,320 ability to back those words. So obviously it's easy to have, 942 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,040 you know, this is the honeymoon period for Asha Sharma in terms 943 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,880 of the statement she's saying. And a lot of things are lining 944 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,200 up with the Xboxes, you know, road map. 945 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,760 They've got really good, like Gears of Warness. 946 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,280 Berries. Personal. 947 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,920 It's parasocial. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 948 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,560 I've never even talked to Asha before Paris. 949 00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:37,040 Like she doesn't follow me. Phil never followed me, so I had 950 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,560 none of that going on. But at the end of the day, you 951 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:44,400 know, this whole parish social thing, I think it's blown out of 952 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,480 proportion for sure. But there was some of that going 953 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,600 on with certain content creators. 954 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:54,440 But yeah, I of course it was blown out of proportion as well. 955 00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,800 Tom Henderson was telling me about the way some of the 956 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,960 parasocial stuff was was happening. 957 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,560 And I was like, Oh my God, it was so lame. 958 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,760 So lame. I mean, look, I get it, people 959 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,760 are fans of stuff and and all that, but. 960 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,240 Yeah, it's like celebrities to them. 961 00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:11,520 Yeah. Yeah, so lame. 962 00:56:11,720 --> 00:56:13,560 It's so lame. These are not gaming execs as 963 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,200 well and I think it's just. Yeah, I know. 964 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:20,560 Like I'll just say that I'm, I'm not going to name any name, but 965 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,720 you know, shout out to Web Dave. I'll name that name because he 966 00:56:23,720 --> 00:56:26,640 was one of the guys. There was this one moment I 967 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:32,280 remember last year during Fan Fantast at a specific lobby 968 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:36,520 everybody likes to hang out at. As soon as Phil and Sarah come 969 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,440 in, you see a group of men just go swarming. 970 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:45,960 I'm just walking so fast towards them and I remember looking over 971 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,080 at Web Dave and Web Dave looks at me and he goes, I ain't doing 972 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,320 that. And I said thank you. 973 00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,280 Thank you Dave. Exactly. 974 00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:55,960 Let them live. Let them live in peace. 975 00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,680 Shout out to web Dave. Shout out to web Dave. 976 00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:03,040 Kept it real, you know, he's a big massive Xbox fan, but even 977 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,840 still, he thought I draw the line running off towards just to 978 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,280 sign off. I still make fun of John from 979 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:13,160 Xbox here or whatever they're called now because what they 980 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:17,040 call now I forgot. Day one, Day one. 981 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,520 Day one, yeah. And you know, when I was at 982 00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,200 Gamescom, I still rinse and I'm like, you lined up for about a 983 00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,640 good two hours to because they had a book. 984 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,720 So they were getting the Xbox book that they were selling. 985 00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:31,800 But at the same time, like, there's no fucking way I'm 986 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,880 waiting. I'm not even bro. 987 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:35,600 He needs to come up to see me, bro. 988 00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,000 Like, why? He's exec, he's selling the 989 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,240 game. Why am I rushing? 990 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,880 Oh, Phil, thank you for the all the broken promises. 991 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,480 Yeah, yeah. Thank you, Exclusive Snowman. 992 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,080 It's. Not. 993 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,240 Yeah, you know, and I and I hate to you know, I don't mean to 994 00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,960 like point at people and and be like, yeah, that's kind of 995 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,760 ridiculous. But again, at the same time, you 996 00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,720 know, when these execs, they have lives too, they're, they're 997 00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,280 coming down there to have a coffee or, or, or talk to some 998 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,360 people. You know, I don't think they 999 00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,600 want to be rushed every time. They're, you know, that's just 1000 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,240 why they might. Love it, they might love. 1001 00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:14,000 It they might love it, I don't know, but it's again looking 1002 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,480 over at web Dave. I'm like, this is crazy, right? 1003 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:17,640 And he's like, I'm not doing that. 1004 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:21,800 And I'm like, it was so good. It was so funny. 1005 00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:23,480 Dave, you remember when that happened? 1006 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,240 It was hilarious. They loved them. 1007 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:27,680 What's up group? They just follow each other 1008 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,480 like, oh, we're there. This is the updating each other. 1009 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,920 This is where things are. It's just like, look, I get it. 1010 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:33,960 Look, you might have gazed and followed. 1011 00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,840 You guys are being Dick heads. We love this stuff and we follow 1012 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:38,520 it really good. And you know, we're really 1013 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,320 passionate about it. That's absolutely fine. 1014 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,000 But we're entitled to think that's fucking weird behaviour, 1015 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,360 bruv. And I feel like when you're 1016 00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:52,600 inclined that way, then your coverage, Like I met Aaron 1017 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,960 Greenberg at games.com and I was joking about with him, but I had 1018 00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:57,560 my pony hat. But see, there's a difference 1019 00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,600 here. People like like Aaron, people 1020 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,120 like Jason, Ronald even. He'll come over to you. 1021 00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,440 Yeah. He's really about meeting people 1022 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,680 and, you know, talking to Xbox fanatics and stuff. 1023 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:09,280 Yeah. I mean. 1024 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,160 Came up to me, Yeah. He was like, hey guys, I'm like, 1025 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,720 oh shit, I'm surprised you know who I am because of course I 1026 00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,120 know you are, he said. I wish I could say the things 1027 00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,280 you say, but carry on keeping our feet, the fire, holding your 1028 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,160 feet to the fire. I don't know whether or not 1029 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,520 that's true or not, but it was nice of him to say and but when 1030 00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:25,640 I had the pony, it's. True. 1031 00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,040 It's true. Yeah, they, they do. 1032 00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,400 They do peek in from time to time in, in various shows like 1033 00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,240 they do. Yeah, they, they hear, they they 1034 00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:35,720 see clips. That's true. 1035 00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:37,840 I think they have to keep their their, their air on the ground 1036 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:38,560 as well. You wouldn't. 1037 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,600 I had my pony mask. I'm like, can you step on it? 1038 00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,840 He's like, I can't do that. I put that posted up on Twitter. 1039 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,200 He was a fun, fun guy. But generally, I think Asha 1040 00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,200 Sharma is now you've got people really going into Asha Sharma. 1041 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:53,000 They really love the whole thing. 1042 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,800 Look at Paris, it's true fucking passion. 1043 00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,000 But you know, Paris does know them on a level. 1044 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,560 Paris is one of those who just. Paris. 1045 01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,360 Paris is different though. Paris is very chill at those 1046 01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,040 things. Yeah, I saw Paris. 1047 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:06,760 He. Was. 1048 01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:08,920 He came out with us. Instead of going to that, he 1049 01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:10,400 went to that meeting and said yeah, it was nice. 1050 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:11,960 And then he came out to us and we had dinner. 1051 01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:16,040 And Paris is not like that. Paris is chill, Paris is cool. 1052 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:17,800 Yeah, he's real chill. He's on, he's on. 1053 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:19,520 People come up to Paris all the time. 1054 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,400 They're like, oh, Paris, yeah. It's so good to meet you, you 1055 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,400 know? And I'll, and I'll say Cognito. 1056 01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:28,000 Cognito is like, he's very like he's part of, he's into the 1057 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,480 source, really like everything. Any game dev meeting, all 1058 01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:35,240 publishers, he has his business hat on and he's so active, it's 1059 01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,120 ridiculous. It's not parasocial. 1060 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,000 He's just going out there grinding. 1061 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,240 Oh, Cognito is all about making that content, Yeah. 1062 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,720 Which you know, networking should be perfect. 1063 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,480 King, king as well. King as well. 1064 01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:47,240 King as well. King, absolutely. 1065 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:49,480 Those guys have got their head screwed on right when it comes 1066 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,600 to the whole networking. They treat you like a business. 1067 01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,000 They've got an LLC. And so that's different to a 1068 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,080 bunch of like guys who just absolutely worship these execs. 1069 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,560 But Asha Sharma is going to start field a little bit of that 1070 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:06,480 love coming her way and. I hope I please people like I'm 1071 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,400 going to see you guys out there. You know what? 1072 01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,960 We'll break bread and stuff. But please leave Asha alone. 1073 01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,840 Don't don't rush her every chance you possibly get. 1074 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:16,880 Like let her live. Let her live. 1075 01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,320 Bro, Asha Sama, you know she's not a very pretty lady as well, 1076 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,720 so you're going to get the Xbox guys doubling down on just 1077 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:26,120 making sure they're being creepy. 1078 01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,480 Hopefully not, but you know, Asha Sama's also she's she's you 1079 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:34,120 know what I've I even though like I feel like I'm hesitant to 1080 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,320 give her her credit, but I shouldn't be. 1081 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,200 I should really assess her based on what she's done and so far 1082 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,320 she's just said stuff other than cancel the Xbox. 1083 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,360 This is an Xbox ad, even though let's be honest, in reality. 1084 01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,080 Yeah, Paris said it. Yeah, she's going to be Russian. 1085 01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:53,000 Yeah, I know, I know Paris. And I feel so bad because I, I 1086 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:54,480 mean, she'll probably welcome it. 1087 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,480 Don't, don't get me wrong, she seems like a nice person, but 1088 01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,040 there's got to be a certain point where you're like, OK, can 1089 01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:04,240 people just back off a bit? Like, I mean, I, I guess they 1090 01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:07,120 expect that in their, you know, positions though when they're 1091 01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,800 out and about. Is what it is in terms of people 1092 01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:12,720 actually loving our people. You'll never change that. 1093 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,720 People evangelise certain people, they look up. 1094 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:22,120 To BT, Mavericks said I'm going to rush BT You will be out there 1095 01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:25,120 and you'll be one of those guys doing that fast walk. 1096 01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,240 It's not a run. It's like this little fast walk. 1097 01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,040 They're like, Oh my God, there's Phil Spencer. 1098 01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:39,600 Oh man, let the man have his tea and crumpets or whatever how 1099 01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,840 he's doing right there. I saw that when Jason Ronald was 1100 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,720 there delivering the thing on GDC and I just like bro, I just 1101 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,160 like Tom. Please just go. 1102 01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,080 Tom was just turned around that got the inside of gaming crew 1103 01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,040 don't give a shit about. Didn't run over there, huh I? 1104 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:54,880 Didn't even, I didn't even go up to speak. 1105 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,440 I just went the opposite way. I'm like, look, look, I'm not a 1106 01:02:58,440 --> 01:02:59,360 journalist. There's. 1107 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,400 Something wrong with, you know, Like if he's there to talk to 1108 01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,680 people, you walk up trying to learn things. 1109 01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:08,080 There's nothing wrong with that. I agree with you, but I I will 1110 01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,680 say like a part of Insider gaming, there's also an element 1111 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,480 of look, I get it. I'm a personal troll and you 1112 01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:16,960 know, I'm very extroverted. I love to meet people and talk 1113 01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,080 to people. I even message Jason Ronald if 1114 01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:20,600 want to grab a drink or something. 1115 01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:25,040 We can have a just chat chat about stuff but not rushing 1116 01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,200 people up like. That there's a difference 1117 01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:29,200 between like what you saw with Jason. 1118 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,920 Jason was there to talk to the people after the show. 1119 01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:33,720 That's different. Now. 1120 01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,520 I'm talking about when these people are just trying to sit 1121 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,280 and have a drink and they're talking amongst each other, 1122 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,880 other executives and stuff. And then you got guys, 40 year 1123 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:46,960 old men just freaking sashaying over there, you know, it's just 1124 01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:49,920 like. Let me say one thing, 1125 01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:51,760 PlayStation guys will make fun of this. 1126 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,520 But if PlayStation guys. Actually do it too of. 1127 01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,160 Course they would. I don't. 1128 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,400 I don't wanna hear that. Ohh, you know, would. 1129 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:02,240 Dude, look, they have to leave the house. 1130 01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,440 They don't leave the houses. That's the one thing. 1131 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,400 They'll make fun of fan Fest in general, even take the 1132 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,480 parasocial stuff away. Let's say the execs didn't even 1133 01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,080 show up there. Let's say you were just, you 1134 01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:16,960 know, in there. You get some swag, you go watch 1135 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,720 the show, you leave. You know what? 1136 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:23,120 They would do the same thing, but they make fun of that aspect 1137 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,040 too. Well look at all these Xbox 1138 01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,120 getting together to watch and have a watch party. 1139 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,800 They used to do the same shit. It was called the Sony 1140 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,680 PlayStation Experience or something back in the day. 1141 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,640 I think it was like PlayStation Experience. 1142 01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:36,680 I believe that's what they call it. 1143 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,600 Paris might know. They used to do this kind of 1144 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,000 stuff for their face of. Course they would. 1145 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,080 They, they, they would you, they throw him a bone and they would, 1146 01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,720 they would worship, they worship Mock Sunny. 1147 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,960 They would absolutely lick Herman Holst chin if he said 1148 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:52,720 something, you know. Well, actually I don't know if 1149 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:56,840 they like Herman Holst because of the whole Killing Blue .0 1150 01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:00,080 that they forgot about that and I think they've just now they 1151 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,920 love him now. Because I almost want to do like 1152 01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:06,400 a, you know, like a documentary of, of the J dub lobby, you 1153 01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:07,680 know, I'll be staying there anyway. 1154 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:11,680 So like just do a whole narrative documentary on this, 1155 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,000 you know, get get Paris to narrate as well. 1156 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:17,800 Tom's actually considering doing a battery on the just chaos that 1157 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:22,280 goes on at the J dub. It's crazy about it. 1158 01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,760 Yeah. They, they're, you know, Cullen. 1159 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,160 Perhaps they're just jealous. There is an element, I will be 1160 01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,920 honest, of jealousy with the PlayStation guys because they 1161 01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,360 get annoyed. They get annoyed when people get 1162 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,760 coverage of stuff. I will be honest that I found 1163 01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:41,640 the Xbox sweaters and the gift basket really kind of cheese, 1164 01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:44,840 really cheese. And the Paris was posting it to 1165 01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:46,920 people. I thought it was cheesy as fuck. 1166 01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:48,520 OK hi. So. 1167 01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,760 So, Ashley, you signed my name. So here's a couple of things, 1168 01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,120 right? I could see both sides of the 1169 01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,520 coin here. I understand that. 1170 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,640 You can look at that and go, man, it's cringe that they're 1171 01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,720 giving certain content creators this stuff. 1172 01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,440 And it's like, because you, you feel like certain content 1173 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:08,120 creators are just doing more work for them for free, you 1174 01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,680 know, but at the same time, that's the point for these 1175 01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:14,360 businesses. They, they want these content 1176 01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:18,720 creators to show off this stuff and to be hype for the brand. 1177 01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,480 And I get it. Like I, I get it from their 1178 01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,560 perspective. Hey, these are the people out 1179 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:28,360 there that make a lot of noise that a lot of even casualty from 1180 01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,880 time to time. And if we push this Helix now we 1181 01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,520 get the ball rolling. This will be nothing but help in 1182 01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:36,600 the long run. And I and I get that it's 1183 01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:40,080 business. I I but, but I again, I see the 1184 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:44,520 other side of the coin too, from the aspect of it could be kind 1185 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:49,120 of cringe or whatever, But again, it's business for them, 1186 01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:50,440 man. It's I get the. 1187 01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:53,720 Business element of it and yeah, you know, Epic Treasure mentions 1188 01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:57,120 that it's kind of it's a shame how little PlayStation has a 1189 01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,320 connection with their community because but the PlayStation 1190 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,800 community just shows for free and any little element. 1191 01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:05,880 But the PlayStation community, they'll buy PlayStation Nikes 1192 01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:07,800 for $200, you know what I'm saying? 1193 01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,200 They'll pay for it, they'll buy, but they'll make fun of you for 1194 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,880 getting it for free. It makes no sense. 1195 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:16,560 Like honestly, at the end of the day, it's jealousy. 1196 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,760 We know that to be like a lot of this stuff where people are 1197 01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:23,040 like, Oh my God, I can't believe they're getting stuff because 1198 01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,640 they're jealous. Like it's, it's painfully 1199 01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:27,640 obvious. It's so obviously some of these 1200 01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:29,840 people, you've seen them and the execs have come on their shows 1201 01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,600 from PlayStation, Sony execs, and they're just X execs, alumni 1202 01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:35,800 even, and they're just like waxing lyrical. 1203 01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:39,760 Yeah, I love Sean. And it's just like, OK, no, you 1204 01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:42,600 know, different from them. And then I know for fact some of 1205 01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,920 these losers would absolutely suck off places 100% but they 1206 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,000 don't give the time of the day because even the PlayStation 1207 01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,280 execs look at them and think they're fucking weird. 1208 01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,920 No, but that's what but that's the the way you view it because 1209 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,360 you see certain people, you're like, oh, that guy sucks off 1210 01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,000 Microsoft all the time. No wonder he got that box. 1211 01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,040 Wow, cringe. But there's very many other 1212 01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,720 content creators that don't, and they got that box. 1213 01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:05,640 Yeah. That's true. 1214 01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,280 So, so, so it's just like, you know, it's business for them, 1215 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:10,520 OK. Harris says. 1216 01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:12,800 I want to wear that hoodie just to wear that hoodie. 1217 01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,920 Just to piss them off. Best believe if they gave me a 1218 01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,479 free Helix hoodie I'm going to be wearing it. 1219 01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:21,040 I don't give a fuck, I'm going to do it. 1220 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:24,000 Yeah, but it's just the the the foolie of the oh, Asha signed 1221 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,080 this. Thank you so much, Asha. 1222 01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:27,840 Like some people could do it and you know, like that's fine, but 1223 01:08:28,279 --> 01:08:30,680 I don't know, I just find it weird. 1224 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:34,439 I felt like when I was at GDC pop inside the game, we can't 1225 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,600 really do that. What's funny is I saw 1226 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,880 Christopher drink. I'll take any free swag. 1227 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,479 You know me. I was Mr IGN two years ago, 1228 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,640 Christopher, drinking free swag. I wore it. 1229 01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:48,000 I saw Christopher drink at GDC and he was lined up at the Xbox 1230 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,000 booth without the older classic Xbox stuff, and he was lining up 1231 01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:55,359 Xbox flag and I was like, I could so tweet this right now. 1232 01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,800 And then you're like, yo, look at Christmas drink. 1233 01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,800 He's just lighting up. He loves Xbox freebie stuff, but 1234 01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:04,520 shits on the well, I wasn't a Dick, although I've kind of just 1235 01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,000 give it loud, the loud the truth. 1236 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,160 But yeah, you know, look, it's a balance. 1237 01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,680 I get it what it is. I just felt like, Oh my God, 1238 01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:15,319 that's so, so lame. I felt, I felt it was lame and I 1239 01:09:15,319 --> 01:09:18,160 felt like you've. Got as as you should brother, as 1240 01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,120 you should wear that. I'm wearing the the Healy City 1241 01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,560 next week at the Forza Horizon event in Tokyo. 1242 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,200 Look, it's different. The way you do it is different. 1243 01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,120 But at the same time, you know you're going to Tokyo again and 1244 01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,399 get you're doing coverage for Forza Horizon 6. 1245 01:09:30,399 --> 01:09:32,240 That's amazing. You get to fly out and you get 1246 01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,960 to do all that stuff, but you know, it's it's a balance that 1247 01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,279 they need to strike. But the content creators that do 1248 01:09:38,279 --> 01:09:41,520 that, they play with fire. I I genuinely believe that in 1249 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,760 the manner in which they do it. Some people are they, you know, 1250 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,279 they're known shills and they will go ahead and do that. 1251 01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:49,479 Some people are a cocuse of being shills like Paris, but 1252 01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:51,760 Paris can be can say the opposite of something. 1253 01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:53,319 Paris. Your clips have been doing the 1254 01:09:53,319 --> 01:09:57,160 rounds about the exclusivity point lately. 1255 01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:59,440 I was I mentioned it to Paris. I'm like, holy shit. 1256 01:09:59,440 --> 01:10:02,240 They just took that bit where he was basically talking about the 1257 01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,720 Xbox console and they just yeah, they'll clip it. 1258 01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:07,800 The sad, sad people that they are. 1259 01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:09,200 And I'm sure there's more context to it. 1260 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:12,080 But generally, though, I will say, but not Paris not directed 1261 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:15,440 at Paris, but there's other people who really were defending 1262 01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,800 Xbox's U-turn. They just parrot whatever tune 1263 01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,560 Xbox sings. They will echo that, Yeah. 1264 01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:26,360 And I that is the point I don't like and that they are, well, me 1265 01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:28,840 and you know. Yeah, yeah, they'll basically 1266 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:32,480 they'll fight with you if you have a dissenting opinion of 1267 01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:35,960 what Xbox is doing, no matter what, even if they do a total 1268 01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:39,840 180 and and you then they'll be like joining you. 1269 01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,320 Oh yeah, it's this is what they should have done. 1270 01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:46,160 You're you're totally right. Like, yeah, Xbox did it. 1271 01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:50,200 So yeah, it's it's good. There's, there's a lot of people 1272 01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:54,160 like that, but I don't, I don't pay those people too much mind 1273 01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,320 anymore. Like I used to argue a lot with 1274 01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,200 people on Twitter. And so I just don't. 1275 01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:01,680 It's just I, I've grown out of that the last couple of years. 1276 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:05,920 Like I don't need that BS. It's it's ridiculous. 1277 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:09,720 I I mean, at the moment, I feel like I'm massively vindicated by 1278 01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:12,480 watching the very same people like going out there trying to 1279 01:11:12,480 --> 01:11:15,400 retrofit their arguments about exclusivity because genuinely, 1280 01:11:15,440 --> 01:11:18,160 you, you are aligning with whether the marching orders of 1281 01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:22,120 your platform what is doing and you're just justifying it. 1282 01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,600 And I just don't like that. And now everyone is talking 1283 01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:26,000 about it. And now it's very clear. 1284 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:29,280 I'm sorry, it's very clear. The moment you've got a glimpse 1285 01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,400 of a potential that Xbox might U-turn on exclusives. 1286 01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:36,240 And then, you know, Jess Corden talks about, you know, what's 1287 01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,800 going on here. People are like, yes, let's go 1288 01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:40,880 back, let's go. Back to get. 1289 01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,800 Exclusive the top comment on every like the Matt Booty 1290 01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,200 interview was bring back exclusive bring back exclusive 1291 01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,400 Why? Because your identity is tied to 1292 01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,880 it and you know, a lot of people may not agree with that point, 1293 01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:57,760 but I just think ultimately Xbox has to do if Xbox wants to be 1294 01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,080 something in the space and it look I'm. 1295 01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:01,840 Sure. That's something that you and I, 1296 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,200 OK. So you and I talk pretty much 1297 01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:07,160 daily. And so we've been talking about 1298 01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:09,760 exclusivity for a while. And at one point I used to argue 1299 01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,200 with you all the time. Like now I don't think it's that 1300 01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:15,520 important, you know, it's, it's, it's the, the importance of it 1301 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,680 has has waned so much. Like they don't need everything 1302 01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:23,160 to be exclusive. But I've, the last year I've 1303 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,960 been changing my mind on that and telling you, hey, you know, 1304 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,040 I, I think you're right, you know, and we had this talk 1305 01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:32,520 months ago before any of this stuff, you know, came out from 1306 01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:36,320 Xbox or anything. That's I, I just changed my mind 1307 01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:38,440 on it because they started looking at everything and going 1308 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:44,000 man, it really has made an impact on Xbox's console sales 1309 01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:49,920 like extremely like it's hurt them so bad and. 1310 01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:51,440 The perception of it I'm not. Why would? 1311 01:12:51,440 --> 01:12:54,800 You want the perception and then and and again. 1312 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:58,080 You have to look, a lot of people aren't going to like 1313 01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,840 this. But I, I'm going to kind of 1314 01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:02,760 reiterate, but I've been saying this for a while. 1315 01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:04,520 I said that the last time I was on your show too. 1316 01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:07,720 And people, Xbox guys don't like it when they say this. 1317 01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:12,680 But I think what Mikey Barra said the other day is 100% 1318 01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,320 right. I think they need to focus on 1319 01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:20,160 making great games. I think they need to, they need 1320 01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:24,320 to focus on making games that do appeal to a broader audience. 1321 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:27,960 I've stated that for many months because I believe that I've say 1322 01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:31,240 that for a year now, like I've been saying that they need to 1323 01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:34,160 just focus on making some fantastic game. 1324 01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:37,880 New IP, not just your Halo, Gears and Forces. 1325 01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:42,520 You need some new IP. That's why with Fable, I really 1326 01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,560 hope Fable stands strong on its own. 1327 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,760 I, I hope it really does well because even though this is an 1328 01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:52,240 established franchise, it's kind of something new because a lot 1329 01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:56,240 of the the gamers today probably haven't even played the original 1330 01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:59,320 Fables. And also it's, it's such a 1331 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:03,240 refreshing, like revamp of the game. 1332 01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:07,360 So hopefully it does really well because that's what they need. 1333 01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:11,680 They need new IP that honestly appealed to a lot of people on 1334 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:13,480 sell. At the end of the day, if you're 1335 01:14:13,480 --> 01:14:15,840 going to put this on other consoles with, you know, where 1336 01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:20,000 sales matter, you got to sell those games. 1337 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,800 Because I look at Xbox and I'm like, they've gotten to the 1338 01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,120 point where game passes everything for them. 1339 01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:31,600 And it's kind of changed a lot of Xbox's perception, their fan 1340 01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:37,480 base in how they consume games. They don't necessarily buy many 1341 01:14:37,480 --> 01:14:39,320 games anymore. They just consume them through 1342 01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:41,960 Game Pass, which is, look, that's their thing. 1343 01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:46,120 I understand why you do it. But at the end of the day, they 1344 01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:48,760 got to understand that they've also completely changed their 1345 01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:53,760 mindset on the value proposition of these games, on the value of 1346 01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:57,000 these games alone. Because you're telling me that 1347 01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:02,280 these games, they're OK enough to put in a, you know, a 30 1348 01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:06,560 million, you know, subscription service, you know, subscriber 1349 01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:08,680 service. And, and that's that they're 1350 01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:11,920 just that good enough, but they're not good enough to, to, 1351 01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:16,760 to, to buy or, you know, because that's the mindset people have 1352 01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:18,600 changed. They, they've decided not to buy 1353 01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:20,640 games anymore. They've just decided to use Game 1354 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,200 Pass. I mean, you, you've got people 1355 01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:25,200 like Doc Dark in here that'll tell you Game Pass is such a 1356 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,520 great value. I use Game Pass all the time 1357 01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:31,040 when it comes to Xbox. That's what he's doing. 1358 01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,240 That's what most people are doing on Xbox. 1359 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:37,280 They're not buying games and. Good to see. 1360 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:41,000 You and that's the thing though, not only their consoles have 1361 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,400 stagnated sales but also Game Pass subscriptions have 1362 01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,960 stagnated. So where do you grow outside of 1363 01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,200 that? I understand that's why they try 1364 01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,680 to put games on other platforms and sell them. 1365 01:15:52,440 --> 01:15:56,120 That makes sense if those games didn't have that stigma around 1366 01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,400 them of being mid games, Yeah, that is their problem. 1367 01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:03,480 They need to concentrate on making some games that appeal to 1368 01:16:03,480 --> 01:16:06,960 more people because. So that's, this is the tweet I 1369 01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:09,360 think you're alluding to. And I think, yeah, I agree 1370 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:11,920 largely, he says. I, in my opinion, I don't know 1371 01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:15,000 what the deleted post was, but he replied, he goes, the focus 1372 01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,520 is on the wrong thing. If this is even a reality which 1373 01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:19,840 I question, they need to figure out how they continue to fail to 1374 01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:24,120 make great Epic Games, the studios who should be pumping 1375 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:27,360 out 90 rated games regularly. Consistently making good games 1376 01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:29,560 has to be the number one goal and something is very broken 1377 01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:33,640 with that capability at Xbox. With great games comes a much 1378 01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:35,840 easier decision on platform strategy and ultimately a 1379 01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:37,600 positive and growing profit and loss. 1380 01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,880 And I think he's right there. I think This is why when we keep 1381 01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:44,320 saying that the one game we keep moving the the goal post shifts 1382 01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:46,640 to the next game because the the you know, Starfield didn't hit 1383 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,320 the 90. And I thought that was a bit 1384 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:52,520 that was a misstep like the Xbox desperately needed that 90 plus 1385 01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,880 Forza Horizon 6 looks good. It's still a racer. 1386 01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:57,280 And I get it. A lot of people like, oh, it's 1387 01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:00,520 just a racer and still, but it still speaks to the value value 1388 01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,520 of it. Then Forza Horizon 3 is a Forza 1389 01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:06,840 Horizon five Storey is the last game that hit 90 plus meta. 1390 01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:09,400 But is, are they just a 1 trick? The pony with their races can 1391 01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:12,280 only get those 90 plus. That's why there's a lot of 1392 01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:16,800 pressure on Fable to do that. We had some rumours suggesting 1393 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:21,320 and this is now another thing. So Fable needs to kind of hit 1394 01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:23,360 that bar. I really think it really should 1395 01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,880 hit that bar. I think that, you know, a lot of 1396 01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:27,760 people like to bemoan what Metacritic does. 1397 01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:31,040 And I get it, I get it. There's it's it's a nuanced 1398 01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:34,960 topic because I know medically isn't the be all and end all of 1399 01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,680 stuff. Like, you know, it's like if you 1400 01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:40,280 it was you're enjoying Crimson Desert and where's Crimson 1401 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:42,840 Desert now in 78? Yeah. 1402 01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:46,600 So it's like, I think it's replaced and you know, and I've 1403 01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,920 had cholesterol protocol. I love that game. 1404 01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:50,640 And that's around about then I think. 1405 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:52,640 And I thought that was a brilliant game. 1406 01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:54,800 So it's not obviously it doesn't, you know, it's not 1407 01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,280 gospel, but at the same time, you can't ignore it. 1408 01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:01,800 I also saw at the Xbox store that they had a meta the game 1409 01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:06,840 being shown and the meta score being shown for the game. 1410 01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:10,120 So they've been integrated into the into the UI and I'm like, 1411 01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:13,360 oh, wow, that's interesting. Bold for Xbox to do. 1412 01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,240 I think Xbox generally have good quality now. 1413 01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,600 Their quality has been generally really good. 1414 01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,520 Like as the publishers get into speed, you know you've had doom 1415 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:25,040 that done really well and you avowed has done those scores. 1416 01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:28,200 I know, but if game passes and growing because of that good 1417 01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:31,960 quality or they're not selling games on other platforms, what 1418 01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:33,440 do they do? It's that stigma. 1419 01:18:33,440 --> 01:18:36,480 I'm telling you, there's a stigma around Xbox games, 1420 01:18:36,480 --> 01:18:39,160 whether you think they're quality or not, whether they are 1421 01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:40,800 or not. But I think I think the most. 1422 01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:45,760 People out there are just like, oh brother, I'm not playing Xbox 1423 01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:46,200 games. I. 1424 01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:49,040 Think, I think that's that's a bit strong in terms of how 1425 01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:51,000 people have a distaste towards Xbox games. 1426 01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:55,600 I think more than the reality aligns with, oh, OK, it's not 1427 01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:59,240 like, oh, that's an Xbox game. Like you know what PlayStation 1428 01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:02,160 exclusives come out. They have a much more solid 1429 01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:04,280 track record in terms of their big hitters, right? 1430 01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:07,560 Hitting, permeating and penetrating the 90 meta Scorp 1431 01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:09,000 thing. You had spider man 2 which I 1432 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,960 don't really haven't played. But again, it's that mindset 1433 01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:13,840 too. You got to understand, even for, 1434 01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,800 you know, most gamers out there, they they just they 1435 01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:18,920 automatically think, oh PlayStation, they have better 1436 01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:22,400 games no matter what, but. That but that, but that, but 1437 01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:24,760 that's as a result. Of how do you change that mind 1438 01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:26,960 generation? Yeah, I know, but but but that 1439 01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:31,080 is that is the the the the biggest crutch of the issue 1440 01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:33,680 here. How does Asha get around that? 1441 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,480 Well this is where I agree with you that they need to have a lot 1442 01:19:36,480 --> 01:19:39,760 more 90 plus bangers. I think that's the only way. 1443 01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:43,200 That that. Yeah, yeah, I think Fabled needs 1444 01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:46,880 to really hit the mark and then you need to have other and, and 1445 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,360 this is not saying that they're not going to do it and they 1446 01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:51,600 can't do it. No, I think a lot of their 1447 01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:54,440 studios are very capable, aside from Halo studios. 1448 01:19:54,440 --> 01:19:57,320 They fucking suck. Anyways, I didn't say that. 1449 01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,520 Anyways, I've been saying that for years. 1450 01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,720 Remember we used to argue about 3-4 three. 1451 01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,120 They used to tell you they were terrible and you were like, no, 1452 01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:06,240 they're not. I'm like. 1453 01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:09,240 No, no, they said I didn't write off Halo Infinite. 1454 01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:10,960 This is before Halo Infinite even came out. 1455 01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,440 And I said, look, they, they just, they did some bits right. 1456 01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:15,120 They were wrong. And then I had to come out and 1457 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:18,720 say, you know what, actually, you're right, Halo in Halo that 1458 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,080 that you, you said 3 for three are terrible. 1459 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:22,960 And I said that's not necessarily the case. 1460 01:20:23,440 --> 01:20:24,840 I was wrong. You were right. 1461 01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,680 Three for three just seemed to be just, I mean, I'm not saying 1462 01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:31,000 that the the, the team and the oh shit, it's the leadership 1463 01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:33,160 that's shit. I don't even want to get into 1464 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,400 the weeds on Halo Studios because again, I've talked to 1465 01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:38,840 death about that for many years. But the rest of their studios, 1466 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,560 there's a lot of good studios. You got the freaking Coalition. 1467 01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:45,320 You got Playground games. You got freaking what's what's, 1468 01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,360 you know, Bethesda can do so much better. 1469 01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:51,600 Like I really think they have some great studios. 1470 01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,120 I mean, and they do better. They have games like Doom that 1471 01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:57,320 always do really well. I mean, they, they've got, it's 1472 01:20:57,320 --> 01:20:58,960 software, they got machine games, they've got all these 1473 01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,040 studios, they're really good even like. 1474 01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,120 Which I think Halo should go to its software. 1475 01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:06,040 That's just my opinion. I think they can do a fantastic 1476 01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:06,840 game with that. I agree. 1477 01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,600 A lot of people disagree, but no but. 1478 01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:12,560 I agree with you generally on the point about the Xbox quality 1479 01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:14,800 mark. I think they this year looks 1480 01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:17,520 remarkably strong. I think it will be a shame if 1481 01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:20,800 Xbox doesn't hit the penetrate that 19 mark with Fable. 1482 01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:23,040 I think that's important. I think Gears of War coming out 1483 01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,760 this year is insane. I think I don't know how that's 1484 01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:28,840 the case. I still in disbelief that Gears 1485 01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:32,640 of Gears of War and it's getting a 30 minute deep dive and it's 1486 01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:34,320 just gameplay. And you know, Matt Booty talks 1487 01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:37,920 about it as well. And going into it this week, we 1488 01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:43,240 also heard from from Jazz that a thing that I have been talking 1489 01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:46,280 about for ages, that freaking thing needs to the Gears of War 1490 01:21:46,480 --> 01:21:49,200 I talk about. Ever since Gears of War 1, as 1491 01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:52,360 soon as I played Gears of War 2, the fatigue set in and I'm like, 1492 01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:56,240 oh, they, they, it's the same like the same guns. 1493 01:21:56,240 --> 01:22:00,000 They didn't have the impact. I was like, I immediately felt 1494 01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,080 like they could take it to another level and they just, 1495 01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:04,480 they, it lost the weight and not a lot of people say Gears of War 1496 01:22:04,480 --> 01:22:06,320 two and three were their more favourite ones. 1497 01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:09,920 For me, Gears of War one was, but I and I, I, I'm not saying I 1498 01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:12,240 hate Gears of War. I really enjoy Gears of War. 1499 01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:15,920 I feel like the, the potential for gears is very high, but I'm 1500 01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:21,040 not a gears guy as a result of gears not really evolving like 1501 01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:23,280 it should. But they've said all the right 1502 01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:25,320 things. And this this week, you know, 1503 01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:28,760 the I, I one of the things I said about, for instance, it's, 1504 01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,560 it's such a, it might seem like a minor point, but I was talking 1505 01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,640 about how the chainsaw was one of the things I said. 1506 01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:37,960 They slow things down and, you know, make the make, don't make 1507 01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:40,800 the chainsaw, just the, the little QT. 1508 01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:44,200 It's not a Sony game. And you know, Jess Gordon saying 1509 01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:46,120 that they, they've evolved the gameplay with a formula. 1510 01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:48,360 So like melee, Oh my God, fuck off. 1511 01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,720 Sorry, Adblock's coming up. You know, like Melee would be a 1512 01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:55,160 more of a thing, but more, you know, like Melee would be more 1513 01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:57,480 of a thing. More chainsome, but more dynamic 1514 01:22:57,480 --> 01:22:59,160 chainsome, not just scripted events. 1515 01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:00,920 So there's a chance of animation. 1516 01:23:01,480 --> 01:23:04,720 It's badly quoted, but yeah, that kind of weight and stuff. 1517 01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:09,200 I'm I really want Gears to evolve and it looks like it's 1518 01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:11,440 going to evolve. And the kind of game that you 1519 01:23:11,440 --> 01:23:16,880 want Xbox to to smash out. This is the gear where they 1520 01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:19,800 could fables one of those. Forza is going to be another 1521 01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:20,960 one. You can't just discard it 1522 01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:21,760 because. It's fable. 1523 01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:25,800 Forza Horizon is definitely going to do numbers, especially 1524 01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:29,080 because it's already been been announced for PlayStation. 1525 01:23:29,480 --> 01:23:34,640 Oh man, if they sold a 5 year old game, I mean millions over 1526 01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:38,880 there, they're going to sell a brand new Forza Horizon very 1527 01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,400 well over there. So Shadow. 250 people smash the 1528 01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:44,880 like button, smash it, smash it. Where's the music that's fucking 1529 01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,080 dead because fucking discord likes to mute it even though I'm 1530 01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:48,560 playing music? Anyway, and that's the other 1531 01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,240 part of the equation too. When we talk about possibility 1532 01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:55,120 of exclusives returning for Xbox, they're also looking at 1533 01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:56,920 that money too. They're like, well, Forts is 1534 01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:00,720 doing numbers over there. Do we really want to take that 1535 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:05,080 away? And you know, and and again, 1536 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,560 that's why I think it'll be a case by case basis. 1537 01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:13,680 And who knows, like with the way E day looks, that might sell 1538 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:15,920 really well over there. Just because Reloaded didn't 1539 01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:19,040 sell a freaking, you know, 20 something year old game that 1540 01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:22,800 just, you know, it was kind of revamped it. 1541 01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,840 That doesn't mean that E Day is not going to sell. 1542 01:24:26,480 --> 01:24:29,640 E Day looks incredible. One thing I love what they did 1543 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,000 with E Day over, you know, you're talking about how the 1544 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,880 guns and everything look improved or the slowing down of 1545 01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:38,280 the chainsaws and stuff. For me, it's just the overall 1546 01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:40,840 tone. It looks like they're going back 1547 01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:44,400 to that horror element, and I know they've always had a bit of 1548 01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:48,360 that even through 5, but it just wasn't there like it was in the 1549 01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:52,920 first one and I and I and and the locust seems scary as hell 1550 01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:57,240 in this one. Again, like it it, that sense of 1551 01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:03,280 just that tenseness, that edge of your seatness of that trailer 1552 01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:06,680 that they showed just a couple of years ago that freaking blew 1553 01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,040 me away, man. Being there in the audience and 1554 01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:11,760 seeing that and feeling the energy in the room. 1555 01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:14,800 People were so excited after that trailer because it. 1556 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,240 Was incredible. It's rare to see an Xbox game 1557 01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:21,720 invoke that kind of emotion and it speaks to the value of the 1558 01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:25,360 Gears as an IP and it's ability to do what you're talking about 1559 01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:27,240 really. I'm not really worried about E 1560 01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:28,520 day. I'm not worried about the 1561 01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:30,880 Coalition. I I mean, they're a great. 1562 01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:32,360 Studio. Yeah, they're they're a great 1563 01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:34,800 studio. I I have I'm I'm not worried but 1564 01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:38,160 I want it to be what I specifically feel like against. 1565 01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:39,760 You wanted to smash it out? Yeah. 1566 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:43,920 You wanted to freaking get that 90 plus meta sell like crazy. 1567 01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:45,760 Do well or? You know if it is another. 1568 01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:49,000 None of that, actually. No, I don't give a shit about 1569 01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:52,320 how it sells or it's I, I do. Hear how well it does? 1570 01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:54,600 I do. No, I don't see these games 1571 01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:58,800 actually freaking numbers. What I mean is more primarily 1572 01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,120 when you're talking about what my main concern is, my main 1573 01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:06,480 concern is that look out if it hits 95 meta and sells really 1574 01:26:06,480 --> 01:26:11,400 well, but the game formula is very, very conservative to what 1575 01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,880 I have. I'll be disappointed because I 1576 01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:17,920 feel like in terms of the, the game as an IP, the the ceiling 1577 01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:20,600 is really high. And I feel like like in terms of 1578 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:22,760 how you can evolve it, I have an idea in my brain. 1579 01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:24,280 Everything that they've said that they're going to do with 1580 01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:26,440 this game is basically what I've been talking about for years. 1581 01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:29,440 And even Cliff Lesinski, he came out and echoed those statements 1582 01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:31,920 and he said he got goosebumps thinking about, you know, how 1583 01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:35,320 that lone locus was making it so difficult for Marcus to fight. 1584 01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,680 He he cited that as an example and and I said, look, these are 1585 01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:42,360 ugly, freaking crazy creatures that don't deserve to just be 1586 01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:44,040 relegated to being cannon fodder. 1587 01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:48,040 So slow it down, make us sick. I want, you know, I really 1588 01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:50,160 wanted to do that. And I feel like it. 1589 01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,240 I can't. Everything they say on paper is 1590 01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,960 fine, but I've been burnt. I've been in this space for a 1591 01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:57,600 long time that it might not manifest itself in that way. 1592 01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,120 So that's what I primarily care about. 1593 01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:02,640 But of course I want the game to do well. 1594 01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,040 And you know, the, the whole point that we're talking about 1595 01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:07,440 is about hitting it. Every game has to hit the 90 1596 01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:10,680 plus matter and I've got that. So why how I wouldn't do AU turn 1597 01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,400 on time for for no reason, but what I'm saying is in terms of 1598 01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:17,760 my priorities, I want the game to be great and to evolve. 1599 01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:19,480 I just want it to evolve, but I'm not. 1600 01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:23,680 But if it does do that font and you know you've got Forza 1601 01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:26,480 Horizon smashes out it's in Japan, it's coming out next 1602 01:27:26,480 --> 01:27:27,760 month. There's videos I've been 1603 01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:32,080 watching right now of you know, people sharing how good it looks 1604 01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:36,280 and I was very critical of it. I was like, oh, I don't know if 1605 01:27:36,280 --> 01:27:38,600 this is going to be, you know, visual. 1606 01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:40,160 It didn't impress me in some bits. 1607 01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:43,760 But then I started, I watched it, the 4K, you know, footage of 1608 01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:46,560 off the game, and I was like, oh shit, you know what? 1609 01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:48,360 That's freaking the starting race. 1610 01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:50,680 It looks great. So Forza Horizon 6 smashes it. 1611 01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:53,320 Then you get Gears of War, whenever that's being released, 1612 01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:56,880 comes out and smashes it, and Fables also smashes it. 1613 01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:00,080 You've changed that perception, the very thing that you're 1614 01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:01,760 talked about. Now. 1615 01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:04,480 You've turned on his head now Whether? 1616 01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:06,080 But are you? So what? 1617 01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:07,200 What happens then? Phones. 1618 01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:10,880 What if Forza Horizon hits 90? What if Gears hits 90? 1619 01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:15,520 What if Fable hits 90? Will that be enough for you to 1620 01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:17,960 change the perception or for Or do you think that will be enough 1621 01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:20,600 to change the perception? I think it's, I think I think it 1622 01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:22,640 would definitely start for many people. 1623 01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:25,360 I think they would start to see them a little bit differently. 1624 01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:28,880 Like they'd sit up a bit and be like, hey, and you know that 1625 01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:32,160 they've got this new Fable IP that's done really well too. 1626 01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:35,680 So you not only have the Gears and Forza, but you've got a 1627 01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:38,320 newer IP. But I think they would, I think 1628 01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:41,240 they would definitely need more of new IP. 1629 01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:46,440 And I think here's the thing, I think we will see that like I 1630 01:28:46,440 --> 01:28:52,400 think even this June, I, I think we might see something new from 1631 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:54,320 them that looks really big and good. 1632 01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:58,680 I don't think it's just what we know is already coming. 1633 01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:00,920 I'm sure there's some unannounced stuff that they'll 1634 01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:05,760 show that'll get people excited. And that's the kind of stuff 1635 01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:08,120 that I'm really excited to see from them. 1636 01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:12,240 I want to see what they have that's unannounced personally, 1637 01:29:12,440 --> 01:29:13,760 because I already know what's coming. 1638 01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:17,120 I already know what I'm I'm going to like from them and what 1639 01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:21,000 I'm hoping to like, because I really hope that Fable speaks to 1640 01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:22,800 me here. I I really hope that that game 1641 01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:26,440 is really good because I want to play it and Gears E day. 1642 01:29:26,440 --> 01:29:28,240 I'm not worried about it. I know I'm going to love it. 1643 01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:29,600 I know I'm going to love the game. 1644 01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:33,760 Forza Horizon is not really my bag, but that's just me. 1645 01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:37,800 You know, I'm not a racing fan, but it looks great and it looks 1646 01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:42,800 even better in this 4K stuff you're showing here than it did 1647 01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:47,280 when we first saw it. No no bro you you need to watch 1648 01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:50,600 these in. 30 frames or is that in 60 by the way? 1649 01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:54,000 Because I I-60 a lot of people. OK, good, good. 1650 01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:56,000 Because a lot of people were showing it. 1651 01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:00,640 I guess the footage they got to show was all 30 like a month ago 1652 01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:02,800 or a few weeks ago, yeah. Yeah. 1653 01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:05,640 No, it's definitely it. It was like Series X best foot 1654 01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:08,520 forward, you know, high quality graphics, 30 frames. 1655 01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:11,680 You know. So you haven't even seen the the 1656 01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:15,280 gameplay from the PC side? That's the that's the crazy 1657 01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:16,360 part. I've been playing this with 1658 01:30:16,440 --> 01:30:18,720 maxed out with ray tracing on. It's going to be. 1659 01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:20,000 Fucking. Sane. 1660 01:30:20,440 --> 01:30:22,960 I mean. I've got it right now and it 1661 01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:26,680 looks beautiful look. I wanted a generational update 1662 01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:29,040 on it, but then the the last game looks so beautiful. 1663 01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:32,120 It's just like oh look, it looks great anyway with the ray 1664 01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:35,600 tracing or the stuff on and some of the environments are insane. 1665 01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:39,280 This game just looks beautiful and Japan. 1666 01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:45,680 I can't see it not being successful, but you know, I've 1667 01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:48,160 talked about what Forza Horizon and Japan needs to do and it 1668 01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:50,960 can't just slap out. And I think, I suspect it will 1669 01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,840 be this anyway, the slap a load of icons everywhere because 1670 01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:55,800 that's what Forza Horizon is. It's almost like a Ubisoft 1671 01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:58,880 formula of of racing games. But it's so much fun to play 1672 01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:02,360 that, you know, it's one of those games that I, I kick 1673 01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:04,960 myself on not 100% completing any of them. 1674 01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:07,480 I get close to them and I just don't do it. 1675 01:31:07,480 --> 01:31:10,520 But this one, well, I didn't play that much of the last game, 1676 01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:13,440 but this one, the setting is just so much more intriguing to 1677 01:31:13,440 --> 01:31:14,320 me. Really good. 1678 01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:16,760 Yeah, it is really good. Even on your stream through the 1679 01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:18,040 compression it looks really good. 1680 01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:20,680 Yeah, but wait till you see some of the other freaking levels in 1681 01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:22,360 there. It's just the the Biome changes, 1682 01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:25,160 then you've got snow, then you've got some aerial bits with 1683 01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:26,080 the cloud. It just. 1684 01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:27,720 Looks. It just looks. 1685 01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:30,960 You'll see it here. The game, like Playground games, 1686 01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:32,920 are so talented. They've got two big titles 1687 01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:36,000 coming out in the one year and they're completely different. 1688 01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:41,400 One's a racer, 1's a freaking RPG that is a classic title 1689 01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:43,800 that's taken over someone elses IP on and looks. 1690 01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:46,320 So what I've mentioned earlier about when we were talking about 1691 01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:49,720 just Xbox when, when it comes to like, say Elder Scrolls 6 and 1692 01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:53,040 how some people are kind of having that conversation now 1693 01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:57,240 about like, you know, these games coming from Korea, China, 1694 01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:01,200 just really taking over a lot of these genres and just making 1695 01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:04,600 the, you know, 'cause it's not just about Xbox, it's 1696 01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:07,360 PlayStation two. I mean, you've got games that 1697 01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:10,880 are coming out that, you know, rival a lot of what they do. 1698 01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:15,000 And so, so I mean, you got Phantom Blade coming out. 1699 01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:18,760 It's another Chinese game. I can't wait for that game. 1700 01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:22,080 And that game comes out just six days before Wolverine. 1701 01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:25,880 So I mean, it's not just Xbox that has to deal with this 1702 01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:28,520 stuff. It you've got another, a whole 1703 01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:31,800 bunch of players in the game coming from overseas that are, 1704 01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:35,440 that are doing their thing and these Western developers just 1705 01:32:35,440 --> 01:32:38,960 need to do better. It's not just Xbox, it's 1706 01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:41,440 PlayStation. It's it's a lot of these 1707 01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:43,680 different Western developers. It's not. 1708 01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,200 It's all publishers. And I love that competition 1709 01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:48,480 between the East and the West. I think it's it's tied to tie. 1710 01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:50,760 I know we have this long conversation about, you know, 1711 01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:53,640 game by game design by committee in the in the West. 1712 01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:56,400 And you know, all the game design has been dictated by by 1713 01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:58,600 bollocks. Whereas whereas with the East or 1714 01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:01,080 Far East Asia, they don't give a shit about that and they just 1715 01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:04,520 focus on the craft and that that has enabled them to really 1716 01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:06,720 bridge the gap and really exceed in many ways. 1717 01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:08,880 You're starting to see regions that we've never seen before, 1718 01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:12,040 like South Korea and China. That's a relatively recent 1719 01:33:12,040 --> 01:33:14,320 phenomenon where these guys are coming out there and producing 1720 01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:17,920 some dankness. So it's great. 1721 01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:20,400 And when you take and. It's awesome, yeah. 1722 01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:23,440 And this is amazing. This is the kind of stuff that I 1723 01:33:23,440 --> 01:33:26,400 want to see all of these publishers push even more the 1724 01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:30,120 their developers. I want to see these development 1725 01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:34,760 studios just do even more because it's coming, it's coming 1726 01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:38,560 from overseas now. They're doing the most and, and 1727 01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:41,560 I want to see the, the everybody push each other. 1728 01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:43,760 That's what competition is all about. 1729 01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:48,400 And yeah, like, dude it. I want to see what's best for 1730 01:33:48,600 --> 01:33:52,560 all of these studios. I I'm not talking crap, just 1731 01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:54,480 about, you know, Xbox or whatever. 1732 01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:58,760 I want to see the best out of all these studios from all these 1733 01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:01,520 companies. I just that that's it at the end 1734 01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:03,480 of the day, I'm the gamer, I'm the consumer. 1735 01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:05,560 I want more great games. Damn it. 1736 01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:06,800 That's it. That's. 1737 01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:09,600 All it's about for us. You know, absolutely I don't. 1738 01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:13,200 Care who it's from. It could have a big Xbox Studios 1739 01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:15,440 label on it, it could have PlayStation Studios. 1740 01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,640 It could have I don't Valve I I don't care. 1741 01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:21,800 Like just give me a great game. That's all I want. 1742 01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:24,040 Absolutely. And it's the environment that 1743 01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,320 fosters that kind of stuff, competition that fosters that 1744 01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:28,640 stuff. And it goes back to why we want 1745 01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:31,480 platform like exclusives, because it galvanises parties to 1746 01:34:31,480 --> 01:34:34,200 start really going out there. Because if PlayStation has no 1747 01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:37,600 real incentive to build games that are not really available in 1748 01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:40,760 its ecosystem, like Western RPGs or first person shooters like 1749 01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:44,120 Doom and stuff, it can sit back and rely on Call of Duty and 1750 01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:46,160 Doom and all these games coming out of there anyway. 1751 01:34:46,160 --> 01:34:48,000 Because PlayStation is the brand name. 1752 01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:50,200 It's like Kellogg's is there. It's the brand name in the 1753 01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:52,680 console space. If Xbox was to change that, that 1754 01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:55,080 would fundamentally re energise the industry. 1755 01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:57,760 We're like, all right, this trillion, remember, there's 1756 01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:00,120 still a trillion dollar company. I care, yeah, it's a business, 1757 01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:02,960 blah, blah, blah. But if they they've got all the 1758 01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:06,440 everything that we've been talking about, everything that 1759 01:35:06,440 --> 01:35:09,720 Xbox fans have been dying to see Xbox do, which is invest in 1760 01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:13,280 their bit, their studios, build all of that up and finally have 1761 01:35:13,280 --> 01:35:15,800 that stuff is fine. And this year represents it. 1762 01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:19,240 And there's such a shame that they capitulated at the peak 1763 01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:21,480 moment. That's the biggest irony behind 1764 01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:24,680 all of this, that they capitulated when everything was 1765 01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:27,360 set up for them. And that's why they should be, 1766 01:35:27,400 --> 01:35:30,720 in my opinion, from hardcore fans that instead of running out 1767 01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:34,280 there doing this shuffle to sock off the execs at the JW, Mario, 1768 01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:38,000 wherever you guys meet up, you need to fucking make sure that 1769 01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,760 you hold them to account. That, you know, really, if you 1770 01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:43,880 guys were, you know, I, you know, evangelising the brand and 1771 01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:47,440 are demanding this and that it's actually egregious that Xbox 1772 01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:52,280 used you during the ABK stuff and then completely left you to 1773 01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:54,320 dry as they catered for a PlayStation. 1774 01:35:54,320 --> 01:35:57,800 And not only that, coincided with their big updates for those 1775 01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:00,000 games when their PlayStation games released. 1776 01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:04,160 Well, guys, they were doing this because they were setting up 1777 01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:08,160 themselves to be everywhere. They were setting themselves up 1778 01:36:08,440 --> 01:36:12,520 to kill the console eventually. That's where the play was going 1779 01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:14,600 with them. They were setting every up 1780 01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:19,320 everyone up for PC style gaming and then hey, you know what, no 1781 01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:21,680 more console for us. The next generation. 1782 01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:25,640 You guys can move to PC or buy our games on PlayStation or 1783 01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:28,320 switch to what Switch 3, whatever it maybe. 1784 01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:32,280 But that's where that I really feel they were going. 1785 01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:35,880 And now with Asha in there, I can't tell you that that's going 1786 01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:40,600 to be the the case because Asha is kind of, you know, looking at 1787 01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:43,320 everything now. And, and when she came out and 1788 01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:47,440 said that she's trying to push the console first, that isn't 1789 01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:51,560 like in order to push the console directly, showing that, 1790 01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,160 you know, she's doing something different from she's. 1791 01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:57,320 Saying the right things, but phones I just I I I you. 1792 01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:00,320 Know it's, it's how they put how it plays out. 1793 01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:04,400 We have to see what she does to actually make this work. 1794 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,000 Can she do it? I don't know. 1795 01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,600 It's a tall task, but it is a tall task. 1796 01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:11,240 But it was. Actually shocking. 1797 01:37:11,440 --> 01:37:14,840 It's obvious to me they needed, they needed new leadership. 1798 01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:17,840 Obvious. Now I I completely obvious. 1799 01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:21,040 I think it's it's, it's, it's actually incredible really how 1800 01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:23,920 people start to realise what's what's going on. 1801 01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:26,280 You know, Phil Spencer did great, Like he saved Xbox. 1802 01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:28,720 He will always give that credit that that's a huge thing. 1803 01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:31,600 You don't get to just like, like gloss over that. 1804 01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:34,200 That's big. But ultimately, clearly, his 1805 01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:38,560 energy waned. And it's, it is what it is like 1806 01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:40,280 the energy, Wayne, he got physically older. 1807 01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:43,160 He had to do this big battle. That's a $70 billion deal that 1808 01:37:43,160 --> 01:37:45,840 he had to withstand and all that pressure and scrutiny that came 1809 01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:47,440 with it. And now Asha Sharma, he was 1810 01:37:47,440 --> 01:37:48,720 like, so relieved. Just take you on. 1811 01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:49,680 I don't want to fucking deal with. 1812 01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:51,760 I want to play some games. And that's fair enough. 1813 01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:55,600 But at the same time, you know, it's funny because Satya Nadella 1814 01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:59,560 espouses how he actually, he's, he's enthused about how he 1815 01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:03,360 actually regrets Xbox were very quick to abandon the Zune and 1816 01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:06,280 the music space and abandoned the Windows Phone. 1817 01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:10,920 And you know, all of that, Like if you recognise Xbox's swift 1818 01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:13,320 exit in that space, you should have, there should be an element 1819 01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:17,320 of you having that pride in your company, in your brand, in the 1820 01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,600 gaming brand, because it's still in a unique, strong position 1821 01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:23,520 where so many people have so much passion for it. 1822 01:38:23,640 --> 01:38:26,800 Microsoft is a fucking faceless corporation, a trillion dollar 1823 01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:30,920 company that no one gives about in terms of its actual identity 1824 01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:33,520 as a brand. It's fucking useless and I'm 1825 01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:37,520 sorry, even in the space that it's good, it has everything, it 1826 01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:39,960 controls everything. There's we are all on Windows, 1827 01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:42,440 we are all on Outlook, we're all in the office suite. 1828 01:38:42,440 --> 01:38:45,160 We're that's what it is. It has a monopoly on this space 1829 01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:48,720 but and has no brand identity. But the Xbox thing where Asha 1830 01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:52,280 Sharma says I wanted to have the renegade spirit, saying those 1831 01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:56,120 words specifically will set off the Xbox guys who know about the 1832 01:38:56,120 --> 01:38:58,960 history of this brand because that renegade spirit gave birth 1833 01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:02,760 to this little island within Microsoft, Microsoft, this big 1834 01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:05,520 faceless Corp. But within it was this Xbox. 1835 01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:09,120 Xbox has its own identity. It had this and and they carved 1836 01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:12,160 it out. So it wasn't just supporting an 1837 01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:14,480 offshoot of a trillion dollar company. 1838 01:39:14,480 --> 01:39:17,120 That's Microsoft. It was it was its own thing. 1839 01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:20,840 And people want that to be coming back because it benefits 1840 01:39:21,200 --> 01:39:23,560 gaming as a whole, because we need to bring that back. 1841 01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:28,440 So of Azure as the XAI bod, and this is where my mind's like, 1842 01:39:28,440 --> 01:39:31,800 OK, XAI bot comes in, doesn't really know anything about 1843 01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:35,040 gaming and she's going to bring the changes and she's saying the 1844 01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:36,360 right things. Well, how is she going to 1845 01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:38,000 execute it? She's going to bring. 1846 01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:42,520 Back Any conversation from an Xbox exec with Satya Nadella 1847 01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:46,200 about bringing back exclusives is going to be a very difficult 1848 01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:48,520 one. When I heard the numbers, people 1849 01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:50,440 in there. I have to add something though. 1850 01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:53,800 I personally don't think timed exclusives work. 1851 01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:57,200 I I think that if they do exclusives, it's got to be 1852 01:39:57,200 --> 01:39:59,360 complete exclusive. Yeah. 1853 01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:03,040 Complete exclusivity because, well, it's a halfway house. 1854 01:40:03,120 --> 01:40:08,160 I really do believe that if if you have a platform in this 1855 01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:11,800 gaming space, I don't think you survive without exclusives 1856 01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:15,200 because every platform out there has exclusives. 1857 01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:19,200 People have this notion that like, oh, PC gaming doesn't have 1858 01:40:19,200 --> 01:40:22,320 a yes they do. Epic has Fortnite, one of the 1859 01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:27,160 biggest money making freaking games ever makes 5 billion a 1860 01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:30,480 year. OK if they didn't have that they 1861 01:40:30,480 --> 01:40:35,880 would not have that platform but they keep that exclusive because 1862 01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:39,040 then that's a money maker for them that's massive. 1863 01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:42,800 Like now of course again it goes out to other consoles and stuff, 1864 01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,800 I'm not saying that, but on PC itself they would not be able to 1865 01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:50,960 compete with Steam if it wasn't for their exclusives in the 1866 01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:52,880 they. Don't even survive steam, 1867 01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:56,440 they're just about hovering around to a survival because of 1868 01:40:56,440 --> 01:40:57,600 Fortnite. Without they wouldn't even 1869 01:40:57,600 --> 01:40:59,520 exist. Exactly, exactly. 1870 01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:02,760 And I believe that I think every platform within the gaming space 1871 01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:05,120 needs their exclusives. Absolutely they do. 1872 01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:09,800 You know, like IA lot of people keep saying that this is just 1873 01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:12,240 console war fodder and then you just want the brands to fight 1874 01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:15,280 and you and it's it's I'm sorry, but it's just not not the right 1875 01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:16,280 mindset. It's. 1876 01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,880 Not about fight, yeah, people always do that. 1877 01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:20,520 Or you just want a console war you. 1878 01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:22,520 Don't give a. Shit about console war. 1879 01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:28,200 I care about competition because competition breeds innovation. 1880 01:41:28,440 --> 01:41:30,240 That's it. Absolutely. 1881 01:41:30,240 --> 01:41:34,080 I I mean, you know, it does it you if say for instance, Xbox 1882 01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:37,480 became exclusive and their games didn't come out on play 1883 01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:40,160 PlayStation and you have one of the strongest years in gaming. 1884 01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:41,560 I know it's not happening. They already announced the 1885 01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:46,120 PlayStation versions, but Gears of War, Fable and Forza all just 1886 01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:49,160 available on PC and just Xbox consoles and you got next 1887 01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:52,280 console coming out. People will take notice and. 1888 01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:54,840 And think about this guys. Think about this. 1889 01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:58,480 You know how PlayStation folks always say, and they're right 1890 01:41:58,480 --> 01:42:02,240 about this by the way, they only concentrate on the 1 console. 1891 01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:08,240 So their games perform very well on that one platform, Xbox, they 1892 01:42:08,240 --> 01:42:13,160 do PC and freaking console. Now with this Helix, they're 1893 01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:15,280 basically going to be doing PC games. 1894 01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:19,080 That's it. Why, why spend the R&D to or 1895 01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:22,240 the, the port, you know, for the port process to go over to 1896 01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:24,680 PlayStation, Take that equation out. 1897 01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:27,600 You don't have to deal with that nonsense because look, they've 1898 01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:30,920 already had some issues with games crashing and everything 1899 01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:33,400 over there like it was Starfield lately. 1900 01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:36,080 It's because it's they have to deal with another porting 1901 01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:38,880 process, different platform. If they just concentrate on 1902 01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:43,120 their own, you have a much more refined product and I think 1903 01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:44,640 that's better for them in the long run. 1904 01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:48,240 I don't know. I've said this all the time. 1905 01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:52,920 I've just said that, you know, ultimately PlayStation Double 1906 01:42:53,480 --> 01:42:56,160 with PlayStation not making PC games for their single player, 1907 01:42:56,240 --> 01:42:57,840 catering for PC for their single player games. 1908 01:42:57,840 --> 01:42:59,640 So what do you think was going to happen to the quality of the 1909 01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:01,480 PlayStation games? Are they going to get worse? 1910 01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:04,400 Are they going to get better? They don't have to focus on a 1911 01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:06,760 multitude of different configurations for PC. 1912 01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:09,160 They only, they have one set of wires, they have multiple skews, 1913 01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:12,800 PS5PS5 Pro, but that's it. Obviously they're going to have 1914 01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:16,440 more time to optimise for the PlayStation and yeah, I get it, 1915 01:43:16,480 --> 01:43:19,920 you know, PC, you know, whatever, but you know for a 1916 01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:24,720 fact that just by just common sense dictates that by by them 1917 01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:28,280 not having to cater for a myriad of different configurations, 1918 01:43:28,480 --> 01:43:30,920 they're going to just be streamlining their single player 1919 01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:33,120 games to match their quality. And that's why it's support 1920 01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:36,280 PlayStation in in what they're doing, because they're taking 1921 01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:38,240 care of one their console user base first. 1922 01:43:38,240 --> 01:43:41,040 And that's why I bought a pro and I know Cyrus is going to run 1923 01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:43,760 really well and I know that Playstation's general quality 1924 01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:46,960 control has been great. So they don't have to worry 1925 01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:49,240 about PC. And when Xbox does the same 1926 01:43:49,240 --> 01:43:51,920 thing like you're saying, they don't have to factor in. 1927 01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:55,480 You know, the reason why Forza Horizon 6 isn't even out on 1928 01:43:55,480 --> 01:43:57,880 PlayStation day one is because they don't have the resources 1929 01:43:58,520 --> 01:44:00,480 just yet to to, to port that over. 1930 01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:03,800 So that itself should tell you this stuff takes time and money 1931 01:44:03,800 --> 01:44:06,720 costs time and money. Now take away the time and money 1932 01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:11,040 and focus on just your your OK already your mug. 1933 01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:15,480 It's slightly different in that Xbox has to cater for PC and you 1934 01:44:15,480 --> 01:44:17,600 when you start cater for a multitude of different 1935 01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:20,600 configurations. It'll be a lot more easier to 1936 01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:24,040 port for PlayStation I imagine just. 1937 01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:25,400 Well, let me ask you this though. 1938 01:44:25,440 --> 01:44:28,600 Like this is what I tell people a lot when they talk about how 1939 01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:31,920 like, Oh no, it doesn't matter if they don't have exclusives, 1940 01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:33,800 it won't do anything different for them. 1941 01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:35,760 And I asked him one simple question. 1942 01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:43,160 Let's say guys, name me an Xbox game that you love or franchise 1943 01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:45,760 that you love. OK, Fable. 1944 01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:51,560 OK, so Fable OK, Fable is exclusive to the Helix. 1945 01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:53,800 Yeah. Are you going to buy a Helix 1946 01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:58,800 because you love that franchise? Bro I bought most people is a 1947 01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:02,520 resounding yes like. I bought I bought APS 5 Pro. 1948 01:45:02,720 --> 01:45:05,360 Do you know why I bought it? Because of Soros, which is a 1949 01:45:05,440 --> 01:45:07,520 very neat game. I want to buy some. 1950 01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:10,120 Bro. And they won't do this. 1951 01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:12,760 They're not going to take games off of PC. 1952 01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:15,080 OK, I know that. So that's not happening. 1953 01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:19,640 But let's say they did and they said, hey, you can't play Gears 1954 01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:23,160 E day unless you have a Helix. Guess what I'm fucking doing? 1955 01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:25,720 Buying a Helix. Yeah, absolutely. 1956 01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:29,600 I'm buying a fucking Helix like a lot of gamers would do the 1957 01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:33,520 same if they if they really want to play a fucking game, they'll 1958 01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:36,440 buy the console, yes. And I and I get the people who 1959 01:45:36,440 --> 01:45:38,200 are like, Oh yeah, it's good for you to say, you know, everyone 1960 01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:40,000 can afford it, blah, blah, blah, blah. 1961 01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:42,800 Look, let's be let's be real about that. 1962 01:45:43,480 --> 01:45:47,120 Look, it may take me time to buy because I'm not rich like that, 1963 01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:51,000 but I'm just saying like you can stack away some cash here and 1964 01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:52,720 there to buy a console if you want. 1965 01:45:52,920 --> 01:45:56,440 I'm I'm just saying this, the the fact that you can buy a 1966 01:45:56,440 --> 01:45:59,360 console at all if you love a franchise, if you love a game or 1967 01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:01,560 if you just want to play something that looks really cool 1968 01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:04,240 to you and you need to play it. You're going to buy that 1969 01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:06,480 console. You're you're you're not going 1970 01:46:06,480 --> 01:46:08,720 to sit there and go, Oh, no, I would never. 1971 01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:12,200 I'll just I'll just wait, you know, and maybe play it one day 1972 01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:14,920 when it does go on something else years down the line. 1973 01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:18,160 They're not doing that. Most people aren't doing that. 1974 01:46:18,400 --> 01:46:22,520 I I think you're talking about creative space and people wanted 1975 01:46:22,560 --> 01:46:25,920 to talk about gaming as an art form, and I don't want the art 1976 01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:29,800 form to be compromised as a result of decisions that 1977 01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:32,080 ultimately just take away from it. 1978 01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:34,240 I know for a fact that competition is one of the four 1979 01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:39,760 foremost things that will make sure that people get get their 1980 01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:41,920 act together. And I take on the point of board 1981 01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:43,760 people like, well, everything is competing with everything 1982 01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:44,960 anyway. I'm like, that's fine. 1983 01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:49,040 But when you have platform holders really, really in this 1984 01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:52,320 very competitive space now galvanised to compete on A1, on 1985 01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:55,160 one level we've seen it, man. Freaking Forza. 1986 01:46:55,360 --> 01:46:59,000 Forza wouldn't even be exist dude. 1987 01:46:59,040 --> 01:47:01,240 Somebody tried that logic with me though. 1988 01:47:01,240 --> 01:47:05,080 By the way, Gas, somebody just was arguing with me the other 1989 01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:07,320 day in my comment section and they said fonts. 1990 01:47:07,600 --> 01:47:10,320 Well, if you're really into exclusivity, what if you were 1991 01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:14,280 told that GTA 6 was exclusive to the Switch too? 1992 01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:18,240 You know what I told them? As shitty as that is, I guess 1993 01:47:18,240 --> 01:47:19,800 I'm buying a Switch too, yeah? Yeah. 1994 01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:21,640 Absolutely, because. That's how much I want to play 1995 01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:24,240 the fucking game. That's just the type of gamer I 1996 01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:27,400 am. Like I'm going to buy whatever I 1997 01:47:27,400 --> 01:47:30,240 have to to play whatever I want to play. 1998 01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:33,320 Of course, if I could afford it at that time or whatever, But 1999 01:47:33,320 --> 01:47:36,920 I'm just saying like I'm going to go out and try to get 2000 01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:39,640 whatever it is I want to get my hands on to play. 2001 01:47:40,400 --> 01:47:43,560 I'm not going to let anybody stop me or tell me you shouldn't 2002 01:47:43,560 --> 01:47:46,000 play on that console. You shouldn't play like or any 2003 01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:49,080 of this fanboy console war nonsense. 2004 01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:53,400 Like it doesn't bother me. I'm I'm truly about the games 2005 01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:56,760 like, and I think a lot of people out there are, I think 2006 01:47:56,760 --> 01:48:00,440 despite your loyalty to a certain brand, if you really 2007 01:48:00,440 --> 01:48:03,240 wanted to play a game over on PlayStation, you'd buy a 2008 01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:06,160 PlayStation if it was stuck there, Yeah. 2009 01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:09,800 You would. A lot of people would look, 2010 01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:14,280 we've, we've lived through the environment when it was the 360 2011 01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:17,400 Gen, we we saw where, you know, when they were competing. 2012 01:48:17,960 --> 01:48:21,440 The whole PlayStation First party thing really came to 2013 01:48:21,440 --> 01:48:23,880 fruition as a result of the competition that Xbox 360 2014 01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:25,720 presents to them. They didn't even have that first 2015 01:48:25,720 --> 01:48:27,840 party stable. And look how positively it 2016 01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:31,080 impacted PlayStation, its perception of it as a brand and 2017 01:48:31,080 --> 01:48:33,920 what games it generated as a result. 2018 01:48:34,480 --> 01:48:36,920 And that's why look, Nintendo and PlayStation are doing it. 2019 01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:40,880 So why does the third plot 3rd place player that has repeatedly 2020 01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:43,680 lost the last two successive generations with the head of the 2021 01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:46,720 Xbox actually admitting that we lost the worst generation as a 2022 01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:48,520 result, blah blah blah. He's just literally come out and 2023 01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:52,440 said it, he's lost it. Why should we then take the, you 2024 01:48:52,440 --> 01:48:58,640 know, the convenient reframing of of the loser as the gospel 2025 01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:01,760 and I don't this is where you know, that's where the truth is. 2026 01:49:02,280 --> 01:49:05,920 And now Xbox guys are now it's so quick to with gave them a 2027 01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:08,600 little bit of hope and Ash has given them hope and that's what 2028 01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:11,200 it is hope in this map. I think that's the title of my 2029 01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:12,160 video. Hope. 2030 01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:18,400 They're so happy about it. Now Xbox gamers who really cared 2031 01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:23,120 about the the the brand, in my opinion, should be very loud and 2032 01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:26,280 vocal about the importance of exclusive team. 2033 01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:32,040 Make it known, even though it's very look, it's it's not, it's 2034 01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:34,640 not how the realm of possibility, but it's because 2035 01:49:34,640 --> 01:49:39,680 Xbox guys have and the the you know, in the small whatever 2036 01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:42,440 social media they've they, they they say they're negligible, 2037 01:49:42,440 --> 01:49:43,360 blah, blah, blah. No, it's not. 2038 01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:46,240 But because I believe it really does cascade down to everyone, 2039 01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:49,360 the sentiments of core gamers. But if it wasn't for so many 2040 01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:53,840 people just sucking off whatever Xbox did, I think we would have 2041 01:49:53,840 --> 01:49:56,000 seen a change. But ultimately it is. 2042 01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:58,560 But it it it look, we're going to have this conversation for a 2043 01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:00,960 while. It is the thing that is holding 2044 01:50:00,960 --> 01:50:02,000 back. You know what I think? 2045 01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:04,080 You know what I think happened though? 2046 01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:09,040 I, I think what happened is at one time, and even though I 2047 01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:12,960 think it started to stagnate, I think Game Pass was kind of 2048 01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:15,800 hitting certain numbers where they were really happy and 2049 01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:18,600 content with. And then when they threw in that 2050 01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:23,240 $30 price tag, I think a lot of people left the the ultimate 2051 01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:26,320 service. I think a lot of people left 2052 01:50:27,040 --> 01:50:28,640 millions. Yeah, millions. 2053 01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:31,200 I would say millions have left. Yes. 2054 01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:35,080 And, and so I think, I think that's what kind of steered him 2055 01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:38,080 the other way or or caused Asha to come in here and look at 2056 01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:41,920 things differently and go, hey, maybe the price structure isn't 2057 01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:43,320 right, but. No, no, it's not. 2058 01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:46,360 Maybe it's a definitely when she came out and said that it's it's 2059 01:50:46,360 --> 01:50:48,880 too expensive. It means millions left. 2060 01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:52,800 I'm I'm telling you. But the same point, but at the 2061 01:50:52,800 --> 01:50:57,200 same time, the reason why they did that was because of the last 2062 01:50:57,200 --> 01:51:00,320 two cards and and the fact that they lost almost a billion 2063 01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:03,280 dollars with those two on sales. They left it on the table. 2064 01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:07,120 We were talking about this. Before you joined the show and 2065 01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:07,720 I. So. 2066 01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:09,240 Should they leave? Should they I? 2067 01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:12,000 I think it's a no brainer but they should get rid of cod in 2068 01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:12,760 the. In the well. 2069 01:51:13,160 --> 01:51:16,280 In the service. No, well, I, I, I, I before any 2070 01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:18,520 of this conversation stuff happened. 2071 01:51:19,240 --> 01:51:23,240 I, I've had Tim Dog on my show months ago and he was talking 2072 01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:29,400 about this stuff and how he's heard that like Activision was 2073 01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:32,320 even told that the next cog probably wouldn't be in Game 2074 01:51:32,320 --> 01:51:35,000 Pass. And I was talking about this out 2075 01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:36,560 in the open on my show. For a while. 2076 01:51:37,760 --> 01:51:42,200 Now I look, I'm not so sure that that's exactly going to happen 2077 01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:44,840 that way. I think they might restructure 2078 01:51:44,840 --> 01:51:49,160 some things and do different tiers, but I think that most of 2079 01:51:49,160 --> 01:51:53,040 your day ones outside of COD should definitely still be there 2080 01:51:53,040 --> 01:51:57,160 at a cheaper price. If they do remove COD, for sure 2081 01:51:57,160 --> 01:51:59,600 it should be cheaper. And I know you had Jazz on last 2082 01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:01,000 week. He agreed with me too. 2083 01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:04,240 He was saying the same thing. It was because of COD. 2084 01:52:04,600 --> 01:52:06,680 And if they do remove it, it should be cheaper. 2085 01:52:06,960 --> 01:52:10,000 And here's the funny part Gaz, you know that some of the guys 2086 01:52:10,040 --> 01:52:14,840 in the community that defend Xbox to no end, these same 2087 01:52:14,840 --> 01:52:18,800 people are still defending saying no, why should they 2088 01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:21,320 decrease the price? It's fine at 30 even if they 2089 01:52:21,320 --> 01:52:24,520 remove COD. I don't care about you guys are 2090 01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:28,480 just too much like they're already starting that just in 2091 01:52:28,480 --> 01:52:32,000 case they don't decrease the price, they could be like, I'm 2092 01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:33,880 happy with it. I don't have a problem with it. 2093 01:52:33,880 --> 01:52:37,120 Like dude, they upped the price because of COD. 2094 01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:40,440 Like what? What are you talking about here? 2095 01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:44,200 They remove it, Yes, it should adjust accordingly. 2096 01:52:44,840 --> 01:52:47,280 I don't know what they're, you know, dude, I don't know what 2097 01:52:47,280 --> 01:52:50,240 these people are smoking, but it's it's not right. 2098 01:52:50,440 --> 01:52:55,000 Take the take a, they'll take an egg on the face for cod, you 2099 01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:57,960 know, coming off the service, but at the same time. 2100 01:52:57,960 --> 01:53:01,880 They could have a service where they remove cloud, keep cod, 2101 01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:06,320 maybe even reduce the price just a little bit because cloud is 2102 01:53:06,320 --> 01:53:09,160 not cheap. Hargit stresses this all the 2103 01:53:09,160 --> 01:53:11,880 time. He's convinced that cloud has 2104 01:53:11,880 --> 01:53:16,040 increased that price to a specific degree that it, it's, 2105 01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:20,360 it's just too much for, for how many people actually use it. 2106 01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:22,680 And I, and I think I'm in agreement with them. 2107 01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:27,240 If it's really a costly thing, why have cloud in every tier? 2108 01:53:27,640 --> 01:53:31,240 Why not remove cloud? My only concern about this kind 2109 01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:34,040 of stuff is that they've got so many tears and gets a little bit 2110 01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:36,840 convoluted. And I just like the messaging 2111 01:53:36,840 --> 01:53:40,920 already is really kind of vague for the, for the masses. 2112 01:53:40,920 --> 01:53:43,000 Like they still haven't permeated the masses. 2113 01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:47,080 I, I, I'm sorry, but the Netflix of games, like, I mean, they 2114 01:53:47,080 --> 01:53:48,320 have a collaboration with Netflix. 2115 01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:51,240 Part of my theory is that they would they get to say that 2116 01:53:51,440 --> 01:53:53,400 because that itself would be really good messaging. 2117 01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:57,000 It's like the Netflix of games, but the, the, you know, mum and 2118 01:53:57,000 --> 01:54:00,280 dad and your regular, you know, parents of the masses don't know 2119 01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:02,040 about game plus still to this day. 2120 01:54:02,360 --> 01:54:04,480 Obviously the price hike just made it even worse. 2121 01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:06,760 And you know, now you have to go back. 2122 01:54:06,760 --> 01:54:11,000 You do such an uphill battle. Xbox keeps undoing itself. 2123 01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:14,760 Even the game Pass was the most what really was the best value 2124 01:54:14,760 --> 01:54:17,400 in gaming as a subscription service was it was, it was 2125 01:54:17,400 --> 01:54:19,840 incredible. And then you, you killed it by 2126 01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:23,160 being a price hike in. You need to have a thorough 2127 01:54:23,160 --> 01:54:24,960 revision. Xbox needs some major changes 2128 01:54:24,960 --> 01:54:27,080 and those changes are coming with Xbox Game Plus. 2129 01:54:27,160 --> 01:54:29,880 Ashley Sharma has literally told you it's too expensive. 2130 01:54:29,880 --> 01:54:32,880 I just, I just don't know exactly how they're going to be 2131 01:54:32,880 --> 01:54:36,400 changing what they did. Become and yeah, and having the 2132 01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:38,960 Xbox first party only tier, I think that would be amazing. 2133 01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:42,480 Yeah, and then like adding the extra stuff, like the Ubisoft 2134 01:54:42,480 --> 01:54:46,840 thing that isn't really day one and like the Fortnite, yeah, 2135 01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:49,320 that that needs to go. There's no reason to have that 2136 01:54:49,320 --> 01:54:51,880 'cause I'm sure that that's an extra couple of bucks there. 2137 01:54:52,200 --> 01:54:54,000 Yeah, you know, they're special get. 2138 01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:55,680 Rid of that shit. Man, exactly. 2139 01:54:55,800 --> 01:54:57,480 No one cares. No one cares about that shit. 2140 01:54:58,200 --> 01:55:04,360 I I who's used it like let me. I've heard, I've heard some Xbox 2141 01:55:04,360 --> 01:55:06,600 guys try to say they use it all the time. 2142 01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:09,720 I love everything they've added. I use it all the time. 2143 01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:12,240 Fortnite crew. Oh me and my kids use it all the 2144 01:55:12,240 --> 01:55:15,160 time. I'm like bro, come on. 2145 01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:17,160 I mean, OK, finally they may use it. 2146 01:55:18,600 --> 01:55:23,920 Let me say, have you use the Fortnite is the four years of 2147 01:55:24,400 --> 01:55:29,320 Fortnite Ubisoft shit and Fortnite crew on Xbox game pass? 2148 01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:30,920 Let me ask. That one pump man. 2149 01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:35,400 Yes I did say that I would buy a switch to if GTA 6 was exclusive 2150 01:55:35,400 --> 01:55:37,320 to that platform. Yes I would buy one. 2151 01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:42,400 Yeah, 100%, as shitty as that would be that they would do that 2152 01:55:42,400 --> 01:55:46,320 to me, Rockstar, I I would still do it because I want to play 2153 01:55:46,320 --> 01:55:48,960 GTA6. Bro you're doing it with console 2154 01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:51,560 already because they're not releasing on PC day one and 2155 01:55:51,560 --> 01:55:54,240 you'll probably. Back to two games, I have APS 5 2156 01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:59,240 Pro because I still play exclusives on console and a 4090 2157 01:55:59,240 --> 01:56:02,440 that I prefer to play on. But if you pull something off 2158 01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:05,320 the 4090 and put it on a console, I'm going to get that 2159 01:56:05,320 --> 01:56:07,920 console. Sorry, that's just the way I 2160 01:56:07,920 --> 01:56:11,240 roll. I don't know. 2161 01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:12,760 No, haven't you? You're right. 2162 01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:14,720 Smash the smash the like button people. 2163 01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:19,680 If you think Xbox is a flexbox, I know what that means, but. 2164 01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:23,600 Oh my God, you sounded totally like Colt Eastwood right there. 2165 01:56:24,760 --> 01:56:27,320 I just was making some words of. That the flexbox. 2166 01:56:27,320 --> 01:56:29,680 The flexbox. There will be a flexbox with 2167 01:56:29,680 --> 01:56:32,560 that price tag I imagine will be like 1500 or some shit. 2168 01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:36,680 I think it's going to be expensive as fuck, but if it's 2169 01:56:36,680 --> 01:56:42,440 good quality and you you start, you know yeah, you I like that. 2170 01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:44,760 You know, if you told me the old, you know the way the 2171 01:56:44,760 --> 01:56:47,720 industries worked, if you told me the younger gas hey, Xbox 2172 01:56:47,720 --> 01:56:51,040 going to release this like hybrid beast device and and it's 2173 01:56:51,360 --> 01:56:55,520 catering for the hardcore with this price price point, I'd be 2174 01:56:55,520 --> 01:57:02,080 like fucking yes, yes, do it. The only point problem is, is 2175 01:57:02,080 --> 01:57:04,800 exclusivity strategy. That's the thing that's 2176 01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:09,840 completely undoing the the scope of Xbox to become something more 2177 01:57:09,920 --> 01:57:11,720 than just another third party publisher. 2178 01:57:11,720 --> 01:57:13,520 That's just meandering and surviving. 2179 01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:16,720 And Xbox, these and Microsoft need to recognise that they have 2180 01:57:16,880 --> 01:57:20,080 they're sitting on a goldmine in terms of long term if they have 2181 01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:23,920 any kind of creative vision. And again, I'm pessimistic. 2182 01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:26,880 I don't think they'll do AU turn and they'll be most likely timed 2183 01:57:26,880 --> 01:57:29,120 exclusive, maybe maybe not even that. 2184 01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:32,920 And you know, I don't expect them more for them, but the 2185 01:57:32,920 --> 01:57:36,600 buttons on them to discharge. I feel like I would be stupid to 2186 01:57:36,600 --> 01:57:40,480 have faith in Xbox at this point to to do right. 2187 01:57:40,480 --> 01:57:43,520 They always if they're anything you can guarantee the rake 2188 01:57:43,520 --> 01:57:46,720 stepping is is almost it's like night and day it will happen. 2189 01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:48,600 It's like death and taxes. It's guaranteed. 2190 01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:51,480 Dude did. Did you see the disingenuous 2191 01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:53,360 conversations going on on Twitter? 2192 01:57:53,800 --> 01:57:57,720 People were upset at Xbox because they didn't put a 2193 01:57:57,720 --> 01:58:02,120 PlayStation logo on the Metro 2039 showcase. 2194 01:58:02,840 --> 01:58:04,480 They just showed their own logos. 2195 01:58:04,480 --> 01:58:07,360 And I'm like, well, this is exactly what PlayStation has 2196 01:58:07,360 --> 01:58:08,520 done forever. But. 2197 01:58:08,560 --> 01:58:13,000 They were annoyed that Xbox. Yes, there was people annoyed by 2198 01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:17,120 it on Twitter and they were arguing with people like why are 2199 01:58:17,160 --> 01:58:18,480 they doing this? Why? 2200 01:58:18,480 --> 01:58:20,640 Why are they? Why are they being disingenuous 2201 01:58:20,640 --> 01:58:24,080 and just showing their own logo that we know it's coming out for 2202 01:58:24,080 --> 01:58:25,160 PlayStation? I'm like. 2203 01:58:25,240 --> 01:58:28,680 Has done this. Strategy forever and we've been 2204 01:58:28,680 --> 01:58:35,720 saying that Xbox should do the same bro like the logos is a 2205 01:58:35,720 --> 01:58:38,120 logo well I'll be honest with you it's. 2206 01:58:38,120 --> 01:58:43,360 Ridiculous when Jeff Keeley was allowed to announce the Xbox 2207 01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:45,120 the. PlayStation version of Indiana. 2208 01:58:45,120 --> 01:58:47,880 Jones, but the game hadn't even come out for Xbox. 2209 01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:51,840 That was seen as a massive L massive L, So this is basically 2210 01:58:51,840 --> 01:58:54,560 an extension of that. A PlayStation doesn't show 2211 01:58:54,560 --> 01:58:57,120 Xbox's logos, but Xbox rushed out there with show PlayStation 2212 01:58:57,120 --> 01:58:59,000 logos, which is lame. And they haven't done that 2213 01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:01,040 forever. I mean, I remember even in the 2214 01:59:01,280 --> 01:59:03,880 with the PS4 they were doing that with Destiny. 2215 01:59:04,120 --> 01:59:07,480 And people thought that Destiny was exclusive to PS4 because of 2216 01:59:07,800 --> 01:59:10,240 the marketing deal they had with them and they never showed an 2217 01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:12,400 Xbox logo. Absolutely, yeah. 2218 01:59:12,400 --> 01:59:14,240 I mean, look, the masses don't look. 2219 01:59:14,600 --> 01:59:16,840 They are. I I made a post about this 2220 01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:18,880 PlayStation. Are so conniving with the way 2221 01:59:18,880 --> 01:59:22,160 they they show the PlayStation exclusive I remember a post good 2222 01:59:22,160 --> 01:59:25,280 years ago where they basically laundered but it looked like 2223 01:59:25,280 --> 01:59:29,560 they were they were PlayStation exclusives and Xbox yeah yeah 2224 01:59:29,560 --> 01:59:33,320 there are so many casuals out there who saw that metro 2039 2225 01:59:33,320 --> 01:59:35,440 thing and honestly think it's just on. 2226 01:59:35,440 --> 01:59:40,200 Xbox, yeah, no, which is a play for these businesses and it's so 2227 01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:43,240 fucking it, it's stupid to cry. About it, it's like. 2228 01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:47,560 Sony has done it forever. I'm glad I didn't see that shit 2229 01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:50,160 but that's so so lame. I didn't see the. 2230 01:59:50,160 --> 01:59:51,560 In fact, it's the first time ever now. 2231 01:59:51,800 --> 01:59:54,080 I've. Never played the Metro games so 2232 01:59:54,080 --> 01:59:55,720 I've not played. I've not seen. 2233 01:59:55,720 --> 01:59:57,240 I've never seen the trailer Metro. 2234 01:59:57,240 --> 02:00:00,600 The last Metro was really good. I need to play that because it 2235 02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:02,680 looks amazing. When it came. 2236 02:00:02,680 --> 02:00:06,840 Out on the 1X man it it was so. Freaking beautiful. 2237 02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:09,080 I remember just. Playing through that game, just 2238 02:00:09,080 --> 02:00:11,480 in awe of that, just the way it looked. 2239 02:00:11,760 --> 02:00:14,800 This one looked incredible, too. I'm looking forward to it. 2240 02:00:15,280 --> 02:00:16,600 Yeah. So I haven't seen it yet. 2241 02:00:16,600 --> 02:00:18,760 So I know a lot of people are really hyped about it. 2242 02:00:18,760 --> 02:00:22,640 Put up the the trailer. It's playing right now. 2243 02:00:22,640 --> 02:00:24,600 It's the CGI trailer. I don't know if there's any 2244 02:00:24,600 --> 02:00:26,480 gameplay. In this but no there I saw. 2245 02:00:26,480 --> 02:00:28,680 Gameplay. Not in the Maybe it wasn't the 2246 02:00:28,680 --> 02:00:30,560 trailer. It was the stuff they were 2247 02:00:30,560 --> 02:00:34,120 showing at the very. End OK, maybe I might, I might, 2248 02:00:34,120 --> 02:00:36,200 I might show up in a SEC of the showcase. 2249 02:00:36,360 --> 02:00:38,240 There's gameplay, CGI cutscene playing. 2250 02:00:38,240 --> 02:00:40,760 Here looks pretty dark. There's always been a really 2251 02:00:40,760 --> 02:00:42,360 dark game, I. Wonder if it has ray tracing in 2252 02:00:42,360 --> 02:00:45,160 this game chat if you let. Me know if it has ray tracing or 2253 02:00:45,160 --> 02:00:49,320 better yet path tracing. PS support because the games 2254 02:00:49,320 --> 02:00:51,920 always looked really good. Really really dark. 2255 02:00:52,080 --> 02:00:54,200 I feel like it's a game that I would really like. 2256 02:00:55,720 --> 02:00:59,280 Don't even imagine if you had a like talking about the logo 2257 02:00:59,280 --> 02:01:01,000 thing. Imagine if you had a little 2258 02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:03,760 store, right? And you were selling a product 2259 02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:06,520 that was sold everywhere, but not maybe it's a brand new 2260 02:01:06,520 --> 02:01:09,120 product, maybe not. A lot of people know you're not 2261 02:01:09,120 --> 02:01:13,880 going to be advertising Joe's Smack and Shack and they sell it 2262 02:01:13,880 --> 02:01:15,200 too. You know, you're not going to be 2263 02:01:15,200 --> 02:01:18,120 putting that out there with this product like you're going to say 2264 02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:20,520 you can get this anywhere, guys. It's not just here. 2265 02:01:20,800 --> 02:01:22,560 Like I get what these businesses do. 2266 02:01:22,560 --> 02:01:25,800 It's just it, it, it was the conversation that I saw between 2267 02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:27,800 some PlayStation guys and Xbox guys. 2268 02:01:27,800 --> 02:01:31,760 I was like, you guys are really mad that the Xbox did the same 2269 02:01:31,760 --> 02:01:33,880 thing that Sony's been doing forever. 2270 02:01:33,880 --> 02:01:36,360 Oh my God, it's, it's so odd to me. 2271 02:01:36,520 --> 02:01:40,400 It's, it's just, it's just sad. It's it's how much money? 2272 02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:44,320 Do companies pay just for marketing rights? 2273 02:01:44,640 --> 02:01:46,680 They're just marketing it to make people think it's 2274 02:01:46,680 --> 02:01:51,560 associated with that platform Sony and but I was creaming 2275 02:01:51,560 --> 02:01:55,720 themselves over the prospect of PlayStation, which should most 2276 02:01:55,720 --> 02:02:00,120 likely get the marketing deal for Rockstarz game GTA6. 2277 02:02:00,920 --> 02:02:04,360 You think that makes that's a people pay will pay millions 2278 02:02:04,360 --> 02:02:06,360 upon millions of millions not wrong. 2279 02:02:06,360 --> 02:02:09,320 There was people at casuals about Playstations thinking that 2280 02:02:09,320 --> 02:02:13,000 Hogwarts Legacy was. Yes, yes, absolutely. 2281 02:02:13,560 --> 02:02:15,640 Because of the marketing deals, it happens. 2282 02:02:15,760 --> 02:02:17,360 I have these conversations all the. 2283 02:02:17,360 --> 02:02:21,320 Time with. With like, you know, the 2284 02:02:21,320 --> 02:02:23,400 casuals, they will say. Oh is it on Xbox as well? 2285 02:02:23,400 --> 02:02:25,400 I saw a trailer on that. I thought it was just a 2286 02:02:25,400 --> 02:02:28,360 PlayStation game. That happens all the freaking 2287 02:02:28,360 --> 02:02:31,360 time. I see that argument all the time 2288 02:02:31,360 --> 02:02:35,960 and that and XX boxes has to drop the whole kumbaya act 2289 02:02:36,040 --> 02:02:39,640 because you can see that it's just so counterintuitive to not 2290 02:02:39,640 --> 02:02:42,800 only their own platform but it's also the perception of it and 2291 02:02:43,040 --> 02:02:45,320 you know it's working for the other two players are not doing 2292 02:02:45,320 --> 02:02:49,000 it so why on earth would you get so dumb? 2293 02:02:49,200 --> 02:02:53,640 Same thing Sony still buys they still money hat third parties. 2294 02:02:54,080 --> 02:02:56,840 They they tried the. Money hat Crimson Desert. 2295 02:02:56,840 --> 02:02:59,240 Oh, they did. They tried the money hat that 2296 02:02:59,240 --> 02:03:01,720 game. Yeah, imagine if they had. 2297 02:03:01,720 --> 02:03:03,480 Holy shit this game looks. Amazing. 2298 02:03:04,560 --> 02:03:06,640 Doesn't it? It looks freaking incredible. 2299 02:03:06,640 --> 02:03:09,720 The fuck this game looks? Insane there's got to be PC. 2300 02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:12,720 Gameplay or something? That no dude, it looks good. 2301 02:03:12,720 --> 02:03:15,200 On. Even on the 1X, the old game. 2302 02:03:15,400 --> 02:03:17,240 I need to freaking play these games now. 2303 02:03:17,240 --> 02:03:19,920 Why have I not played them? Yeah, you need, you need to play 2304 02:03:19,920 --> 02:03:22,120 it. Are they janky or what I felt 2305 02:03:22,120 --> 02:03:23,040 like? They might be janky. 2306 02:03:23,040 --> 02:03:24,600 No, they're they're really. Good. 2307 02:03:24,960 --> 02:03:28,800 The I would say the last. One was the better one. 2308 02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:31,840 The first two had a little jank here and there but they were 2309 02:03:31,840 --> 02:03:34,760 still solid games. Damn man this game looks 2310 02:03:34,760 --> 02:03:38,520 freaking amazing. The visuals are insane. 2311 02:03:38,520 --> 02:03:39,600 Obviously there's a lot of canned. 2312 02:03:39,600 --> 02:03:40,800 OK, there's a little bit of cinematic. 2313 02:03:40,800 --> 02:03:44,400 Oh, I thought that was in game. It said a mix of in game and 2314 02:03:44,400 --> 02:03:45,840 cinematic. That's in game, man, that's 2315 02:03:45,840 --> 02:03:47,880 Bullshot. But it still looks really good. 2316 02:03:47,880 --> 02:03:50,320 You can tell when it's going through the tunnels and 2317 02:03:50,320 --> 02:03:52,720 everything and. You're shooting it looks really 2318 02:03:52,720 --> 02:03:54,120 good. Alright, I'll go forward by this 2319 02:03:54,120 --> 02:03:56,600 and imagine that on your old LED monitor, bro. 2320 02:03:56,720 --> 02:03:58,640 Yeah, imagine that in the old. I'll be the judge. 2321 02:03:58,640 --> 02:04:02,080 I'll be the judge of that. Whether or not that's real or 2322 02:04:02,080 --> 02:04:04,080 not, I feel like they might be pulling the wall of. 2323 02:04:04,080 --> 02:04:06,320 Their eyes. Xbox first party shows the logos 2324 02:04:06,320 --> 02:04:07,640 because they want you to buy the game. 2325 02:04:07,880 --> 02:04:09,520 So why would they exclude third party? 2326 02:04:09,520 --> 02:04:13,440 It's hypocritical and rules for for for thee but not for me. 2327 02:04:13,440 --> 02:04:15,160 What? Paris Lewis says. 2328 02:04:15,160 --> 02:04:18,680 Xbox first party shows the logos because they want you to buy the 2329 02:04:18,680 --> 02:04:23,000 games, so why would they exclude that party? 2330 02:04:23,400 --> 02:04:26,160 It's hypocritical and rules for thee were not for me. 2331 02:04:26,400 --> 02:04:28,480 Yeah. Oh it's hypocritical of Xbox not 2332 02:04:28,480 --> 02:04:32,960 show metro metros stuff. I mean Xbox doesn't even do it. 2333 02:04:32,960 --> 02:04:36,080 Shouldn't really do that anyway. In PlayStation they don't even 2334 02:04:36,080 --> 02:04:40,400 bother putting up Xbox logos. It's actually quite funny. 2335 02:04:40,400 --> 02:04:42,960 And Xbox Live now please I will do it. 2336 02:04:42,960 --> 02:04:46,600 Kumba. Yeah, by Lord, what was this 2337 02:04:46,600 --> 02:04:49,400 poll night? 82% of you. 2338 02:04:49,680 --> 02:04:51,800 Have said that you don't use the SO. 2339 02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:53,320 Look at that.

I don't know anyone. 2342 02:04:59,360 --> 02:05:01,200 Apart from the special nick, he says, his kids. 2343 02:05:01,200 --> 02:05:05,520 Use it a lot. Which is OK, fine, but I don't 2344 02:05:05,520 --> 02:05:07,240 know what what the play plays are. 2345 02:05:07,440 --> 02:05:09,200 We saw Metro. We have to. 2346 02:05:09,200 --> 02:05:12,040 Talk about pragmata. It's another game that's come 2347 02:05:12,040 --> 02:05:14,400 out of Capcom. Just don't miss man. 2348 02:05:14,400 --> 02:05:17,240 They're just so Capcom seems to be killing it lately. 2349 02:05:17,360 --> 02:05:21,000 Bro they're they're on fire. RE-9 was incredible. 2350 02:05:22,080 --> 02:05:24,720 This one I I. I mean you've you've completed 2351 02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:28,520 RE. 9 as well, didn't you? Yeah, I I completed RE 9. 2352 02:05:28,520 --> 02:05:30,400 I thought it was definitely a game. 2353 02:05:30,400 --> 02:05:34,240 Of the year contender, yeah. Shit man, really good. 2354 02:05:34,400 --> 02:05:37,640 I need to complete Carlos before I can even go into that. 2355 02:05:38,680 --> 02:05:40,160 Because. Yeah. 2356 02:05:40,280 --> 02:05:43,440 Another horror game like that everyone's like you need to play 2357 02:05:43,960 --> 02:05:46,360 you know requiem. It just looks dank. 2358 02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:48,600 This is another one Capcom was just killing it. 2359 02:05:48,800 --> 02:05:52,360 So many people share Luke was telling me about the path 2360 02:05:52,360 --> 02:05:55,640 tracing on this is insane. The game looks insane. 2361 02:05:55,640 --> 02:05:59,880 I'm so grateful for path tracing not being relegated to I 2362 02:05:59,880 --> 02:06:02,480 remember the start of the Gen I'm looking at Minecraft and I'm 2363 02:06:02,480 --> 02:06:05,120 like fuck is that it like it's this this is real. 2364 02:06:05,320 --> 02:06:09,480 This is real fucking ray tracing tech and it's relegated to just 2365 02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:10,960 my Minecraft and now we're starting. 2366 02:06:10,960 --> 02:06:13,600 To see with these AI. Upscaling tools, the frames and 2367 02:06:13,600 --> 02:06:16,360 all the shit that we can actually finally enjoy path 2368 02:06:16,360 --> 02:06:20,320 tracing in with big heavyweight titles like Cyberpunk with 2369 02:06:20,320 --> 02:06:23,560 Pragmata. Resident Evil us looks looks 2370 02:06:23,560 --> 02:06:26,760 amazing. It looks so this game looks 2371 02:06:26,760 --> 02:06:29,600 really cool. I don't know if I have the time 2372 02:06:29,600 --> 02:06:32,200 to play this game, man. I don't even know what it is, 2373 02:06:32,200 --> 02:06:34,120 but it looks really good and it's saying, I think it's like 2374 02:06:34,120 --> 02:06:38,080 88 or 87. It's basically a story driven, 2375 02:06:38,160 --> 02:06:44,080 heavy story driven shooter. I played the demo for it and I'm 2376 02:06:44,080 --> 02:06:46,480 in the minority. I don't care for the combat 2377 02:06:46,480 --> 02:06:51,040 system and that's only because, well, they have this little 2378 02:06:51,040 --> 02:06:54,200 hacking thing you do before you can really do much damage with 2379 02:06:54,200 --> 02:06:56,520 your weapon. You could shoot your weapon and 2380 02:06:56,520 --> 02:06:59,040 it it's like pissing on the enemy. 2381 02:06:59,040 --> 02:07:00,840 It's it doesn't hardly any damage. 2382 02:07:01,400 --> 02:07:04,640 But then the the little girl on your back, she does this like 2383 02:07:04,640 --> 02:07:09,240 thing where it slows down time and it's a hacking thing. 2384 02:07:09,640 --> 02:07:14,240 So you like hack it and then you can shoot heavier bullets. 2385 02:07:14,760 --> 02:07:16,200 Oh, right. This is a bit of a yeah. 2386 02:07:16,280 --> 02:07:18,920 And I just don't care about the hacking portion of it. 2387 02:07:18,920 --> 02:07:22,200 Like it just it annoyed me. But some. 2388 02:07:22,200 --> 02:07:25,360 People love it. So I, you know, don't listen to 2389 02:07:25,360 --> 02:07:26,040 me. I'm in. 2390 02:07:26,040 --> 02:07:29,880 I'm in the minority on this one. No, I I don't know what to 2391 02:07:29,880 --> 02:07:31,920 expect of this one. This is a game that we've been 2392 02:07:31,920 --> 02:07:36,120 covering for a while. It looks really nice. 2393 02:07:36,120 --> 02:07:37,640 It's beautiful. Yeah. 2394 02:07:37,640 --> 02:07:39,680 Well, you know, I'm sure with Pat Racing it's going to look 2395 02:07:39,680 --> 02:07:42,680 even more. Stunning the whole the setup. 2396 02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:45,480 Just looks. Like unique and you know, yeah, 2397 02:07:45,480 --> 02:07:49,720 see CPT in the Awesome 23. He said the combat is fun, he 2398 02:07:49,720 --> 02:07:53,680 likes the hacking and stuff. I just don't like that aspect. 2399 02:07:53,840 --> 02:07:58,560 It's just, I don't know, just takes me out of it bro. 2400 02:07:58,600 --> 02:08:00,600 We've got so many good games now though. 2401 02:08:00,680 --> 02:08:02,840 It's like not every game has to appeal for everyone. 2402 02:08:03,720 --> 02:08:05,480 No, no. No, but you know, like I said, 2403 02:08:05,520 --> 02:08:08,360 RE 90, man, that thing was so much fun. 2404 02:08:08,520 --> 02:08:12,760 How was the combat in that?

The kind of game you like too. 2419 02:08:51,080 --> 02:08:53,320 Just a linear experience, you know. 2420 02:08:54,640 --> 02:09:00,360 It's fun, lot of fun man, lots of cool weapons and things like 2421 02:09:00,480 --> 02:09:04,320 you know, because you've got, you've got 2 elements of it. 2422 02:09:04,320 --> 02:09:06,840 We I know we're supposed to talk about Programmata, but you've 2423 02:09:06,840 --> 02:09:10,320 got 2 elements of. That game you've obviously got 2424 02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:12,280 Grace is a bit, but it's much slower. 2425 02:09:12,600 --> 02:09:14,840 Yeah, it's more horror, yeah, which I like. 2426 02:09:15,160 --> 02:09:16,720 I want them to do that a little bit of. 2427 02:09:16,760 --> 02:09:20,600 So the cool part about that is. I'm more of a third person guy. 2428 02:09:21,200 --> 02:09:24,720 And I tried to play it in 3rd. Person with her and it was 2429 02:09:24,720 --> 02:09:28,960 better in first person because of the whole aspect so with her 2430 02:09:28,960 --> 02:09:31,440 I played first person. They recommended the beginning 2431 02:09:31,440 --> 02:09:34,160 of the game too. They tell you so I played it in 2432 02:09:34,160 --> 02:09:37,720 first person with her and 3rd with Leon and it was just 2433 02:09:37,840 --> 02:09:41,320 fantastic. Capcom, Capcom are killing it. 2434 02:09:41,760 --> 02:09:44,400 They're really doing well, and there was a point where they 2435 02:09:44,400 --> 02:09:46,720 were almost like the. Konami off of the game industry, 2436 02:09:46,720 --> 02:09:48,440 they're really they're really just messing up. 2437 02:09:49,200 --> 02:09:52,840 They fixed up so well from their St. 2438 02:09:52,840 --> 02:09:55,160 You have to remember, like this year, the Monster Hunter. 2439 02:09:55,160 --> 02:09:59,000 I know I think Monster Hunter didn't do as well as they should 2440 02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:00,920 have. I'll be honest, based on the 2441 02:10:00,920 --> 02:10:02,800 reception for it and they had tech issues and blah, blah, 2442 02:10:02,800 --> 02:10:04,600 blah, but they had Street Fighter. 2443 02:10:04,600 --> 02:10:07,360 My brother's just streaming that all the time now. 2444 02:10:07,360 --> 02:10:08,680 Street Fighters watching our board. 2445 02:10:08,680 --> 02:10:11,200 Street Fighter. Yeah, Street Fighter. 2446 02:10:11,240 --> 02:10:14,040 Go ahead, trailer. This first movie looks super 2447 02:10:14,040 --> 02:10:15,200 cheesy. But. 2448 02:10:15,520 --> 02:10:19,960 Oh God that movie looks so bad. We expect the cheese now. 2449 02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:23,920 The original was so bad. With Banderos, yeah, that's why. 2450 02:10:24,000 --> 02:10:26,600 It's like you expect the. Cheese with it, I guess. 2451 02:10:27,480 --> 02:10:29,480 And about, you know, Mortal Kombat the. 2452 02:10:29,480 --> 02:10:31,680 New movie that trailer. This gives me shit as well. 2453 02:10:31,680 --> 02:10:37,880 I hated the last Pragmatic though is the quality is really 2454 02:10:37,880 --> 02:10:39,800 there like when I played through the demo. 2455 02:10:40,040 --> 02:10:42,720 That's the one thing like it's beautiful. 2456 02:10:42,720 --> 02:10:46,200 It's it feels good. It's just a hacking element for 2457 02:10:46,200 --> 02:10:47,840 me. If it wasn't for that one 2458 02:10:47,840 --> 02:10:50,480 element, I would I would have bought this game. 2459 02:10:51,080 --> 02:10:54,000 I would have played it all the way through because it's my type 2460 02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:56,760 of game. I like the the heavy on story 2461 02:10:57,200 --> 02:11:00,840 game and I heard it's got a great story. 2462 02:11:01,720 --> 02:11:03,480 Oh, right. OK, that's interesting. 2463 02:11:03,840 --> 02:11:06,160 They have got great stories. The main thing that I kind of 2464 02:11:06,160 --> 02:11:08,040 will drive me they've. Got this whole thing with the 2465 02:11:08,360 --> 02:11:11,000 the little robo girl in there. It reminds me of that movie 2466 02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:15,160 where that chick AI kid. What was that movie chat? 2467 02:11:15,440 --> 02:11:16,760 It came out a couple of years ago. 2468 02:11:16,760 --> 02:11:18,440 Really good movie. I think it just went under the 2469 02:11:18,440 --> 02:11:23,000 radar where AI are fighting humans and there's this one kid 2470 02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:27,440 who's the AI they gave birth to this kid, AI kid and he's like 2471 02:11:27,440 --> 02:11:28,840 really smart. It was really good movie. 2472 02:11:30,160 --> 02:11:32,720 I like the premise of that. And then Ubisoft, well, Ubisoft, 2473 02:11:33,040 --> 02:11:37,520 Capcom have Anamusha coming out. I don't know what that's coming 2474 02:11:37,520 --> 02:11:37,720 out. Yeah. 2475 02:11:37,720 --> 02:11:39,480 That was another one that I saw last week. 2476 02:11:39,480 --> 02:11:43,320 I was, I forgot about that game. And then I I was talking to. 2477 02:11:43,320 --> 02:11:45,720 Hargeet about all the games coming out this year and I, I 2478 02:11:45,720 --> 02:11:48,720 told him, I said, dude, I was looking up all the games that's 2479 02:11:48,720 --> 02:11:51,360 supposed to drop. I said we totally dropped the 2480 02:11:51,360 --> 02:11:55,640 ball on Anamusha too. Like this game looked incredible 2481 02:11:55,640 --> 02:12:00,320 and it's coming out and dude, and again, Capcom is killing it. 2482 02:12:00,600 --> 02:12:02,080 It's not Megan killing it lately. 2483 02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:03,960 It's not Dune or it's. Not. 2484 02:12:03,960 --> 02:12:05,440 Megan Yeah, Capcom killing it man. 2485 02:12:05,560 --> 02:12:10,360 When is on a mission coming? Out it doesn't have a a specific 2486 02:12:10,360 --> 02:12:12,480 date. Oh is it just says 2026? 2487 02:12:12,480 --> 02:12:13,960 It says 20. 26 as well. Fuck. 2488 02:12:14,320 --> 02:12:16,440 That no chance they're gonna delay that nowhere. 2489 02:12:16,440 --> 02:12:17,840 How? This is what I'm saying, like 2490 02:12:17,840 --> 02:12:18,760 there's so many games, I don't know. 2491 02:12:18,760 --> 02:12:21,040 How all these games are coming out this year dude. 2492 02:12:21,360 --> 02:12:23,640 Bro how are you gonna navigate GTA6? 2493 02:12:23,680 --> 02:12:27,360 All these games I don't. Know bro, I remember the you 2494 02:12:27,360 --> 02:12:30,200 know a lot this weekend we had some rumours suggesting that. 2495 02:12:30,600 --> 02:12:34,600 So, Jeff? Jeff Grubb got it wrong with him 2496 02:12:34,600 --> 02:12:36,440 suggesting that fable's going to get delayed. 2497 02:12:36,480 --> 02:12:38,200 But as soon as they announced that fable's going to get 2498 02:12:38,200 --> 02:12:39,960 delayed to me and you were like, you know what? 2499 02:12:39,960 --> 02:12:42,760 This is a good thing because I was like, this is good. 2500 02:12:42,840 --> 02:12:45,360 Yeah, it's too much. Yeah, It's too much that Xbox 2501 02:12:45,360 --> 02:12:49,360 games need some breathing space. Yeah, yeah. 2502 02:12:49,360 --> 02:12:52,160 I wanted to see Fable. Do do better and I think the 2503 02:12:52,200 --> 02:12:56,040 coming out next spring it. Would do much better, yeah, 2504 02:12:56,320 --> 02:13:00,760 because the even putting it in August or September you've got 2505 02:13:00,760 --> 02:13:02,480 so. Many games there that that. 2506 02:13:02,480 --> 02:13:06,840 Will over shadow Fable. It is insane. 2507 02:13:07,280 --> 02:13:09,280 You can't have a game that overshadows us Fable. 2508 02:13:09,320 --> 02:13:10,800 There's too much investment. In that game. 2509 02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:15,280 It's not like that's a it's like that Horizon 0 dawn effect. 2510 02:13:15,280 --> 02:13:18,440 Remember Horizon 0? Dawn got overshadowed. 2511 02:13:18,440 --> 02:13:20,720 And then Horizon Forbidden W got overshadowed. 2512 02:13:20,920 --> 02:13:24,640 Still sold well eventually, but I remember that first week. 2513 02:13:25,400 --> 02:13:27,840 Yeah, they were both overshadowed on their launch 2514 02:13:27,840 --> 02:13:29,360 dates. Yeah, Whippet got it right. 2515 02:13:29,360 --> 02:13:31,040 The Creator. I think you're right. 2516 02:13:31,080 --> 02:13:34,600 The Creator is the movie. I was thinking of Creator. 2517 02:13:34,600 --> 02:13:36,520 I don't know that it's a It's a really good. 2518 02:13:36,600 --> 02:13:38,320 Yeah, it's the creator. Yeah, it's a really good movie. 2519 02:13:38,760 --> 02:13:40,160 Do check it out. I'll have to check. 2520 02:13:40,160 --> 02:13:41,240 It out it's really cool. It's. 2521 02:13:41,440 --> 02:13:43,600 Really good effect. sci-fi movie. 2522 02:13:43,640 --> 02:13:45,440 Sci-fi movie? Yeah, really good. 2523 02:13:45,440 --> 02:13:47,160 Effect it's it's. Really good. 2524 02:13:47,240 --> 02:13:48,200 Is this really good one of those? 2525 02:13:48,200 --> 02:13:48,880 I'll look it. Up. 2526 02:13:48,880 --> 02:13:50,360 I'll look it up. Yeah, so. 2527 02:13:50,800 --> 02:13:52,760 You know, you're right with the fable like delay thing. 2528 02:13:52,760 --> 02:13:55,560 It's I agree with you, I. Think it's it's a good problem 2529 02:13:55,560 --> 02:13:56,600 to. Have, you know, you used to say 2530 02:13:56,600 --> 02:13:59,440 Xbox has no games. Now Xbox has too many games. 2531 02:14:00,680 --> 02:14:04,120 You know, that's AI. Hope that carries on and I think 2532 02:14:04,120 --> 02:14:05,480 next. Year is also maybe. 2533 02:14:05,480 --> 02:14:09,800 Not as strong as this year because they I wouldn't say 2534 02:14:09,840 --> 02:14:13,640 that, man. Because dude, think about this. 2535 02:14:14,320 --> 02:14:16,960 Think about this. Man, look at we just talked 2536 02:14:16,960 --> 02:14:20,800 about how these Chinese and and Korean you got all these eastern 2537 02:14:20,800 --> 02:14:27,120 players in the game now dude, Wu Kong was a few years back game 2538 02:14:27,120 --> 02:14:28,800 science could announce something this year. 2539 02:14:28,880 --> 02:14:33,760 Who knows like you know, anything could happen game it 2540 02:14:33,760 --> 02:14:35,880 was what's it called? Oh, that's right. 2541 02:14:35,880 --> 02:14:40,360 They had the Yeah, that's right. But anyways, you got so many 2542 02:14:40,360 --> 02:14:44,240 players in the game. I I bet you anything, like I 2543 02:14:44,240 --> 02:14:48,080 said, I feel good about this year with unannounced things. 2544 02:14:48,080 --> 02:14:51,160 I think we're going to see this at the the Summer Games Fest. 2545 02:14:51,680 --> 02:14:53,320 There must be a sequel. Sorry. 2546 02:14:53,560 --> 02:14:56,680 Yeah, Xbox Game Showcase and stuff. 2547 02:14:56,880 --> 02:14:58,200 We're going to see some new stuff. 2548 02:14:58,200 --> 02:15:00,040 That's we're going to be like what? 2549 02:15:00,040 --> 02:15:04,040 2027, man, next year's going to be great too. 2550 02:15:04,040 --> 02:15:06,480 I I guarantee it. We're going to be excited. 2551 02:15:07,160 --> 02:15:12,440 Well, if they announce if, if, if it turns out that, What's it 2552 02:15:12,440 --> 02:15:16,600 called? What a Elder Scrolls? 2553 02:15:16,920 --> 02:15:19,120 Sorry I can't speak if Elder Scrolls. 2554 02:15:19,240 --> 02:15:22,160 Was is is coming out next? Year then that conversation 2555 02:15:22,160 --> 02:15:27,080 shifts straight away. That is a big title big title if 2556 02:15:27,080 --> 02:15:28,440 Elder Scrolls coming out next year. 2557 02:15:28,440 --> 02:15:30,240 I don't know if it's going to come out next year, but I I'll 2558 02:15:30,240 --> 02:15:31,360 tell you what it's going to be good. 2559 02:15:31,520 --> 02:15:34,920 But here's the thing. Don't you think that if going 2560 02:15:34,920 --> 02:15:37,840 back to Helix, if Helix really does? 2561 02:15:37,840 --> 02:15:41,080 Drop end of 2027, don't you think they need a really big 2562 02:15:41,080 --> 02:15:43,600 game to drop with it? Bro this is the reason why I 2563 02:15:43,600 --> 02:15:45,960 said Gears of War should fucking be delayed for the release of 2564 02:15:45,960 --> 02:15:47,760 that thing because you want to something that shows off the 2565 02:15:47,760 --> 02:15:49,320 power of this. Thing that's supposed to be 2566 02:15:49,320 --> 02:15:52,200 really powerful. What better game that Xbox has 2567 02:15:52,200 --> 02:15:54,920 coming out in its road map than Gears of War? 2568 02:15:54,920 --> 02:15:58,120 Gears of War will be the best looking I know, especially 2569 02:15:58,120 --> 02:16:01,720 because the Coalition and what they can do with UE5. 2570 02:16:01,720 --> 02:16:04,680 That's what I'm saying like. There's no rush for gears for 2571 02:16:04,680 --> 02:16:06,560 this year. Like what are you doing? 2572 02:16:06,760 --> 02:16:08,840 And again. 2020 fifth anniversary. 2573 02:16:08,840 --> 02:16:11,040 You know they're going to put it out this year about fuck the 2574 02:16:11,040 --> 02:16:13,400 25th anniversary, man. Well, I just want the game. 2575 02:16:13,400 --> 02:16:16,280 To be good and ultimately at the end of the day, but you know it 2576 02:16:16,280 --> 02:16:19,280 would have. Been really cool like any 2577 02:16:19,280 --> 02:16:21,040 platform. I know the generations the whole 2578 02:16:21,040 --> 02:16:23,400 thing is dead anyway but it's always good. 2579 02:16:23,640 --> 02:16:25,240 PlayStation are really good at this. 2580 02:16:25,400 --> 02:16:30,680 PlayStation with the PS3, no PS3 but they have launched with PS3. 2581 02:16:30,680 --> 02:16:31,960 PS4 they have Killzone, Shadowfall. 2582 02:16:31,960 --> 02:16:36,959 Not great game but even today to this day technical showcase Xbox 2583 02:16:36,959 --> 02:16:41,600 One still to this day had a really good launch with Rye Son 2584 02:16:41,600 --> 02:16:44,840 of Rome that still holds its own to this day and at least showed 2585 02:16:44,840 --> 02:16:48,200 you the tech of that thing. It's like it'll still looks 2586 02:16:48,200 --> 02:16:49,080 good. It holds. 2587 02:16:49,480 --> 02:16:52,920 Don't worry, Helix will drop with State of Decay 3. 2588 02:16:56,200 --> 02:16:58,840 By the way, I did get into that alpha you did. 2589 02:16:59,639 --> 02:17:01,600 Yeah, yeah. I'm not in it. 2590 02:17:01,600 --> 02:17:04,559 Yet. But I, I did sign up and they 2591 02:17:04,559 --> 02:17:09,280 sent me an e-mail and said that maybe in May I'll get in. 2592 02:17:09,440 --> 02:17:12,000 I want to play that. So I feel like it might be a bit 2593 02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:13,959 of a let down. I think already the scope of it 2594 02:17:13,959 --> 02:17:15,559 is a bit let down, but the clockwork revolution. 2595 02:17:15,639 --> 02:17:17,680 I just want to see. I just want to see what it's 2596 02:17:17,680 --> 02:17:19,000 like. I want to see what it's like so 2597 02:17:19,000 --> 02:17:21,440 I can talk about, you know, eventually and the. 2598 02:17:21,440 --> 02:17:23,520 People complaining, I remember in the chat, you know, last time 2599 02:17:23,520 --> 02:17:24,200 we talked about. Like. 2600 02:17:25,240 --> 02:17:26,719 Oh, guess you're just way you. Want. 2601 02:17:26,719 --> 02:17:28,600 State of Decay. We want more State of Decay to 2602 02:17:28,600 --> 02:17:30,000 be State of Decay. I'm like State. 2603 02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:32,400 I want State of Decay to be a multiplayer game, man. 2604 02:17:32,400 --> 02:17:34,959 Yeah, same bro. We've talked about this. 2605 02:17:34,959 --> 02:17:38,480 We we wanted it to be more like an MMO than it is. 2606 02:17:39,520 --> 02:17:43,760 It's just kind of it's where you would see an evolution of a game 2607 02:17:43,760 --> 02:17:45,920 like that. Yeah, honestly, yeah. 2608 02:17:46,200 --> 02:17:49,520 Kind of like the day before that fake game that you're supposed 2609 02:17:49,559 --> 02:17:54,840 to get, but the promise was there that like The Division and 2610 02:17:54,840 --> 02:17:55,879 so many people. Did. 2611 02:17:55,879 --> 02:17:58,200 Come out and say that. Oh damn it man, I was hoping it. 2612 02:17:58,200 --> 02:18:00,200 Would be like the division. But with zombies and stuff like 2613 02:18:00,200 --> 02:18:04,160 that and everyone wants that and someone has to make that game. 2614 02:18:04,160 --> 02:18:08,360 They're sitting on a goldmine. It's a multi $1,000,000 seller 2615 02:18:08,719 --> 02:18:12,400 that will multiple copies. That game exists conceptually, 2616 02:18:12,520 --> 02:18:14,840 it needs to be made. It's not saved to K3 2617 02:18:14,840 --> 02:18:18,600 unfortunately, especially if you add those resources, you know, 2618 02:18:18,600 --> 02:18:21,559 even the base, all that you have, all that. 2619 02:18:22,920 --> 02:18:25,080 Because that's something that traditionally you don't have 2620 02:18:25,080 --> 02:18:27,760 with like a division or you don't have with an R graders. 2621 02:18:28,200 --> 02:18:32,799 But if you added that element into it along with the human 2622 02:18:32,799 --> 02:18:35,440 element and the zombies, you have a winner. 2623 02:18:35,559 --> 02:18:39,360 You have a freaking winner. That again, I say this a lot, 2624 02:18:39,480 --> 02:18:41,959 but the blueprints are out there for great games. 2625 02:18:42,280 --> 02:18:45,840 These developers just need to look at and tweak these, you 2626 02:18:45,840 --> 02:18:48,879 know, games a bit, make something their own. 2627 02:18:49,400 --> 02:18:53,680 But man, the blueprints for a fantastic, successful game are 2628 02:18:53,680 --> 02:18:55,639 out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2629 02:18:55,639 --> 02:18:59,240 No, honestly, it's, I mean, look what Pearl Abyss did. 2630 02:18:59,240 --> 02:19:01,200 Pearl Abyss just said. F it with Crimson. 2631 02:19:01,200 --> 02:19:02,879 Desert. They took everything good from 2632 02:19:02,879 --> 02:19:05,200 every. Other RPG out there, Yeah, yeah, 2633 02:19:05,400 --> 02:19:06,240 yeah. Big open world. 2634 02:19:06,240 --> 02:19:08,320 They just took everything. Yeah, yeah. 2635 02:19:08,680 --> 02:19:12,360 From Zelda to freaking every game out there, they just took 2636 02:19:12,360 --> 02:19:14,280 bits and pieces. Yeah, yeah. 2637 02:19:16,480 --> 02:19:19,360 I don't know, I don't know, rain on people's parade there, but. 2638 02:19:19,400 --> 02:19:21,000 I will rain on people's parade there I. 2639 02:19:21,000 --> 02:19:23,160 Think I will be. Disappointed I think it will be 2640 02:19:23,160 --> 02:19:25,639 a good State of Decay game in the same as State of Decay 2. 2641 02:19:25,840 --> 02:19:28,760 I barely play State of Decay 2 because I'm so disappointed in 2642 02:19:28,760 --> 02:19:31,920 State of Decay two. What it was they gave you the 2643 02:19:31,920 --> 02:19:34,520 promise of what that was going to be with State of Decay one. 2644 02:19:34,520 --> 02:19:37,240 I remember very clearly and it couldn't tell the difference 2645 02:19:37,240 --> 02:19:39,719 between State of Decay two and one other than the multiplayer 2646 02:19:39,719 --> 02:19:42,320 which is tethered to shit. It looked the same and then they 2647 02:19:42,320 --> 02:19:44,600 did the visual upgrade on the graphics and then it looks a 2648 02:19:44,600 --> 02:19:48,080 little bit different and now there's it just the whole we're 2649 02:19:48,080 --> 02:19:49,960 going to give you the play test and stuff like that. 2650 02:19:49,960 --> 02:19:51,880 I feel like it's not going to be that great. 2651 02:19:52,080 --> 02:19:55,760 So it's gone down my hype metre considerably. 2652 02:19:55,960 --> 02:19:59,400 And so that being the alpha play test after six years, it's kind 2653 02:19:59,400 --> 02:20:01,840 of like what? Yeah, Yeah, it's a bit. 2654 02:20:01,840 --> 02:20:03,280 It's. Hard, really I am. 2655 02:20:03,520 --> 02:20:06,440 I feel I'm going to be let down with that, but you know. 2656 02:20:06,560 --> 02:20:08,960 It is what it is. I keep saying it is what it is, 2657 02:20:09,840 --> 02:20:12,960 but State of Decay too though Captain Chats, I see you say it 2658 02:20:12,960 --> 02:20:15,960 was a let down for you too. I agree. 2659 02:20:15,960 --> 02:20:18,600 But a lot of people did play it, though. 2660 02:20:18,600 --> 02:20:21,200 A lot of people did play State of Decay, too. 2661 02:20:21,560 --> 02:20:24,560 The numbers are out there. It was, it was kind of a hit for 2662 02:20:24,560 --> 02:20:25,320 them. Yeah. 2663 02:20:25,360 --> 02:20:28,360 No. State of Decay has a very, like 2664 02:20:28,360 --> 02:20:30,960 loyal fan base as well. So you know it's. 2665 02:20:30,960 --> 02:20:33,560 Not something that, you know, easy for them to disregard by 2666 02:20:33,560 --> 02:20:36,160 making massive change like that. But at the same time, I think 2667 02:20:36,160 --> 02:20:38,200 you're like, what's your ambition, really? 2668 02:20:38,600 --> 02:20:40,760 And you put a ceiling on that if you're going to just stick to 2669 02:20:40,760 --> 02:20:43,280 State of Decay. But I'll tell you one game that 2670 02:20:43,280 --> 02:20:46,040 has a lot of quality being exuded, but there's stuff for 2671 02:20:46,040 --> 02:20:47,960 everyone but Clockwork Revolution. 2672 02:20:47,960 --> 02:20:49,360 I think this game is going to be really good. 2673 02:20:49,600 --> 02:20:52,360 I think this it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun, 2674 02:20:52,360 --> 02:20:55,000 especially with a different weaponry and how you can like 2675 02:20:55,360 --> 02:20:58,640 mix and match. You know, craft and all that 2676 02:20:58,640 --> 02:21:00,040 stuff. Yeah, we should see on screen. 2677 02:21:00,040 --> 02:21:01,640 Looks cool. It looks really good. 2678 02:21:01,640 --> 02:21:05,200 It reminds me because it it again for me though. 2679 02:21:05,200 --> 02:21:06,880 It it Harkins. Back to like. 2680 02:21:06,880 --> 02:21:08,960 A Bioshock. Type game, every everyone's 2681 02:21:08,960 --> 02:21:10,920 there and I have a fond memory of those games. 2682 02:21:10,920 --> 02:21:14,240 So yeah, BioShock Infinite kind of vibes with this visual. 2683 02:21:14,400 --> 02:21:17,280 Yeah. And I loved Bioshock, and it has 2684 02:21:17,280 --> 02:21:19,880 that kind. Of personality, He's just really 2685 02:21:19,880 --> 02:21:22,720 good. Like he this is a game that if 2686 02:21:22,720 --> 02:21:26,560 they nailed the gunplay, oh, this is if it feels really good 2687 02:21:26,720 --> 02:21:28,720 to shoot, it's going to be a great game. 2688 02:21:28,840 --> 02:21:31,960 Especially with the time bending stuff, Yeah, this could be a 2689 02:21:32,160 --> 02:21:36,280 really, you know, a diamond. For Xbox and a really, you know, 2690 02:21:36,280 --> 02:21:39,440 another unique proposition for Xbox to have this kind of title 2691 02:21:39,440 --> 02:21:41,440 out there. This is the kind of title that 2692 02:21:41,760 --> 02:21:45,960 helps Xbox build an identity and all that's undone if you're 2693 02:21:45,960 --> 02:21:47,840 making freaking multi platform your mother. 2694 02:21:49,320 --> 02:21:53,400 So yeah, yeah, the Xbox is finally where it needs to. 2695 02:21:53,400 --> 02:21:56,160 Like imagine. If this was like a 99. 2696 02:21:56,280 --> 02:21:58,880 OK, I I know. It's a 99. 2697 02:21:59,320 --> 02:22:01,200 Also coming to PlayStation for six months. 2698 02:22:01,640 --> 02:22:03,720 Yeah, exactly. No, all day and day on 2699 02:22:03,720 --> 02:22:05,480 PlayStation. Yeah, it's gonna. 2700 02:22:06,680 --> 02:22:09,560 I I think this is definitely this probably will be a day one 2701 02:22:09,560 --> 02:22:10,800 on PlayStation. Actually, I'm. 2702 02:22:10,800 --> 02:22:12,160 Imagining this will be a day one. 2703 02:22:12,520 --> 02:22:16,520 Title 4 PlayStation yeah, because it's coming from a 2704 02:22:16,520 --> 02:22:19,240 smaller studio in exile, but in exile are really punching above 2705 02:22:19,240 --> 02:22:21,000 their belt based on what we're seeing. 2706 02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:23,400 Obviously we haven't played the game, but it looks positive. 2707 02:22:23,840 --> 02:22:25,480 So clockwork revolution is another one. 2708 02:22:25,480 --> 02:22:26,840 State of decay. I'm like OK fine. 2709 02:22:26,840 --> 02:22:31,880 That'll be 2027 release. I think 2027 needs an Xbox from 2710 02:22:31,920 --> 02:22:36,320 a big title From Xbox though, I think you need Elder Scrolls and 2711 02:22:36,360 --> 02:22:38,600 and I feel like Elder Scrolls are we are we for sure that 2712 02:22:38,600 --> 02:22:40,840 clockwork is When is clockwork 20? 2713 02:22:40,840 --> 02:22:43,440 Early 2027? I don't. 2714 02:22:43,440 --> 02:22:45,120 Know when it has a release? I don't think it has a release 2715 02:22:45,120 --> 02:22:47,040 because I think it's just 2027 now. 2716 02:22:47,320 --> 02:22:51,000 Chad, do you guys know? When clockwork does clockwork? 2717 02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:53,280 Revolution have an an indicative date I don't. 2718 02:22:53,280 --> 02:22:54,960 Know if it does? I don't think it does. 2719 02:22:54,960 --> 02:22:59,960 I think it was just 2027. Yeah, I don't know clockwork in 2720 02:22:59,960 --> 02:23:01,480 in. Exile, you guys are making some 2721 02:23:01,480 --> 02:23:03,200 memes there and that's the kind of quality. 2722 02:23:03,200 --> 02:23:06,040 Mark, we do. Expect but then after that what 2723 02:23:06,040 --> 02:23:08,200 else is there? Like what does Xbox have? 2724 02:23:09,480 --> 02:23:12,440 What's Compulsion doing? Maybe they can make a huge game. 2725 02:23:13,280 --> 02:23:17,200 Yeah, fucking right. Everyone. 2726 02:23:17,200 --> 02:23:18,960 Everyone hates on those for hating on. 2727 02:23:18,960 --> 02:23:21,440 Compulsion, but I. Really think people glaze over. 2728 02:23:21,440 --> 02:23:23,720 I know the story and this premise was really good, but 2729 02:23:23,720 --> 02:23:24,560 what about? The gameplay. 2730 02:23:24,560 --> 02:23:28,040 After we happy few, you cannot forgive them for faltering on 2731 02:23:28,040 --> 02:23:31,640 gameplay like they did. Gameplay cannot be 4th priority. 2732 02:23:31,760 --> 02:23:34,360 Story, music, everything and gameplay. 2733 02:23:34,560 --> 02:23:36,240 Let's think about game design at the end. 2734 02:23:36,240 --> 02:23:38,760 I'm like bro this is what they're doing. 2735 02:23:39,640 --> 02:23:42,680 The first game I remember from them was when I first bought my 2736 02:23:42,680 --> 02:23:46,840 PS4 last. Gen and it was contrast and it 2737 02:23:46,840 --> 02:23:49,600 was an awful game. It was it was horrible. 2738 02:23:49,680 --> 02:23:52,200 It was just a stupid game. So I didn't even play through 2739 02:23:52,200 --> 02:23:53,520 it. I I tried to play it and I said 2740 02:23:53,520 --> 02:23:56,840 this is garbage because at the time, but if you remember, 2741 02:23:56,840 --> 02:24:00,360 PlayStation 4 didn't really have any big games they got they had 2742 02:24:01,040 --> 02:24:04,960 they were delayed. So I had to wait like a month or 2743 02:24:04,960 --> 02:24:08,480 two before I got like my first big game PlayStation 4. 2744 02:24:08,880 --> 02:24:12,120 So I after that I just went to rezo gun and I played a bunch of 2745 02:24:12,120 --> 02:24:17,680 rezo gun and that was fun. But tourney game rezo gun Rezo 2746 02:24:17,680 --> 02:24:20,440 gun was not made by them. Rezo gun was made by No Rezo gun 2747 02:24:20,440 --> 02:24:21,760 wasn't by compulsion. I'm. 2748 02:24:21,760 --> 02:24:23,160 Saying I, I. Moved to that game. 2749 02:24:23,160 --> 02:24:25,560 From Contrast. Oh, right, Yeah, Rezo. 2750 02:24:25,560 --> 02:24:29,200 Gun is a game. I actually was good a platinum 2751 02:24:29,200 --> 02:24:32,840 though it was my first platinum. I really. 2752 02:24:33,280 --> 02:24:34,600 Really enjoyed that. Yeah, that's why I. 2753 02:24:34,840 --> 02:24:37,520 I love that studio house, Mark. Oh, beautiful, man. 2754 02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:42,320 They are the best, some of the best, and Sony did very well by 2755 02:24:42,320 --> 02:24:45,120 buying them. And I'm one of the few people 2756 02:24:45,120 --> 02:24:47,880 that will probably support that game because I don't know if I 2757 02:24:48,160 --> 02:24:51,000 think it will do well, but compulsive games have a lot to 2758 02:24:51,000 --> 02:24:52,760 answer for. But I think I'll tell you what 2759 02:24:52,760 --> 02:24:54,960 compulsive games are good at and what South of Midnight was 2760 02:24:54,960 --> 02:24:57,560 really good at. Story, audio, visual palette was 2761 02:24:57,560 --> 02:24:59,560 really nice. They really smashed it. 2762 02:25:00,160 --> 02:25:02,160 I completed the game and I, it was the combat. 2763 02:25:02,480 --> 02:25:05,640 Yeah, I just, I just, I couldn't get by the combat. 2764 02:25:05,640 --> 02:25:07,360 Combat. The area locks off. 2765 02:25:07,840 --> 02:25:09,160 And then you have this basic combat. 2766 02:25:09,160 --> 02:25:13,560 And I found it so I felt like I wanted to just see what the 2767 02:25:13,560 --> 02:25:14,960 story was about more than the game. 2768 02:25:14,960 --> 02:25:17,720 Play the game. The combat was getting in my 2769 02:25:17,720 --> 02:25:21,160 way. And there were ways like even 2770 02:25:21,160 --> 02:25:23,560 with traversal, like with the war running and stuff like that, 2771 02:25:23,560 --> 02:25:27,480 if you made Ebb and Flow really well, I would have really loved 2772 02:25:27,480 --> 02:25:30,520 the game because it's a beautiful game. 2773 02:25:30,520 --> 02:25:32,760 Yes, it is beautiful. The art star was really good. 2774 02:25:32,760 --> 02:25:34,600 The characters are really well voiced. 2775 02:25:34,800 --> 02:25:35,800 They've. Done it, really. 2776 02:25:36,360 --> 02:25:37,760 I was intrigued. I wanted to find. 2777 02:25:37,760 --> 02:25:40,200 Out what's going on with the story really tapped into the 2778 02:25:40,200 --> 02:25:43,840 story, but you can't fuck up the story, the gameplay, especially 2779 02:25:43,840 --> 02:25:46,800 when you have such a burden to discharge after we're happy for 2780 02:25:46,800 --> 02:25:49,640 you, but it was a beauty like it was a beautiful experience. 2781 02:25:49,640 --> 02:25:51,160 The story and stuff. I really did care about the 2782 02:25:51,160 --> 02:25:53,600 characters and and the vibe and the music was really good. 2783 02:25:53,600 --> 02:25:57,200 I just felt like the fundamentally it's such a shame. 2784 02:25:57,200 --> 02:25:59,760 It's like you that's the thing you need to fix up. 2785 02:25:59,800 --> 02:26:04,760 And I think in the same regard, the same issue with Ninja Theory 2786 02:26:04,880 --> 02:26:08,680 and Hell Blade 2. Although with Hell Blade two in 2787 02:26:08,680 --> 02:26:12,840 one element, the combat I thought was fucking amazing. 2788 02:26:12,840 --> 02:26:17,600 It felt wrong for Xbox for an Xbox title to have such good 2789 02:26:17,600 --> 02:26:20,600 animations in their combat. Like if you play their combat, 2790 02:26:20,600 --> 02:26:23,360 it was beautiful man. The combat in that game was 2791 02:26:23,360 --> 02:26:26,600 stunning, but it was so few far between. 2792 02:26:26,680 --> 02:26:29,360 I was just like, so I was like, all right, so the one thing 2793 02:26:29,440 --> 02:26:31,240 don't make me stab you on that, dude. 2794 02:26:31,240 --> 02:26:34,000 That game was just bad for a game. 2795 02:26:34,000 --> 02:26:38,640 It was beautiful as. A piece of art, but man, there 2796 02:26:38,640 --> 02:26:40,880 was not enough gameplay in that game. 2797 02:26:40,920 --> 02:26:42,760 I agree with you. I do agree with you. 2798 02:26:42,760 --> 02:26:46,480 I think of a hell blade too. I was, I was shocked at how and 2799 02:26:46,480 --> 02:26:48,120 I. Said this in my review and I 2800 02:26:48,120 --> 02:26:53,320 said like you need to thoroughly revisit how you you you, you 2801 02:26:53,320 --> 02:26:57,840 basically do gameplay. I'm shocked that you still had 2802 02:26:58,000 --> 02:27:03,240 the same fucking puzzles elements like move the camera. 2803 02:27:03,240 --> 02:27:05,880 Well, they're on Hellblade 3 now, and supposedly they've 2804 02:27:05,880 --> 02:27:07,400 stated that they're going to put more. 2805 02:27:07,400 --> 02:27:09,960 Action into this. Yeah, I I reckon Hellblade 3 is 2806 02:27:09,960 --> 02:27:11,880 going to be sick. You're going to call me? 2807 02:27:12,120 --> 02:27:14,680 Call me out now if it's not. If it doesn't end up being this. 2808 02:27:14,680 --> 02:27:19,760 Way I reckon this game is going to be absolutely stunning. 2809 02:27:19,760 --> 02:27:22,680 Dude. They've made great action games 2810 02:27:22,680 --> 02:27:23,680 in the past. They hadn't. 2811 02:27:24,480 --> 02:27:27,840 They had. The the Heavenly Sword, I I 2812 02:27:27,880 --> 02:27:30,920 loved Heavenly Sword. It was like a female God of War 2813 02:27:30,920 --> 02:27:32,720 game. It was really good. 2814 02:27:32,760 --> 02:27:35,320 Yeah, it was amazing. I don't know what that's what 2815 02:27:35,320 --> 02:27:36,320 I'm saying. They had all this talent. 2816 02:27:36,320 --> 02:27:38,720 They did all that mocap, they kept show which is where but. 2817 02:27:38,720 --> 02:27:43,800 Shows in the yeah, but shows in the fucking animations and 2818 02:27:43,800 --> 02:27:46,520 stuff. But yeah, I know they took MMA 2819 02:27:46,520 --> 02:27:48,560 classes and stuff, and I'm like, for what? 2820 02:27:49,400 --> 02:27:50,680 Well, they did a really good job. 2821 02:27:50,880 --> 02:27:54,480 Whatever little combat there was in that game, Hell Blade 2, I I 2822 02:27:54,480 --> 02:27:55,440 really. I didn't. 2823 02:27:55,680 --> 02:27:57,840 I really enjoyed my time with their funds, I'll be honest with 2824 02:27:57,840 --> 02:28:00,600 you, but I, no, I know you did. I know you did. 2825 02:28:00,680 --> 02:28:03,600 I, I played through the whole thing and I was just like really 2826 02:28:03,600 --> 02:28:04,880 bored. I was like, it's. 2827 02:28:04,880 --> 02:28:07,200 Beautiful. But damn all I'm doing is 2828 02:28:07,200 --> 02:28:10,840 pressing up to walk 90% of the time right at the start of this 2829 02:28:11,040 --> 02:28:12,760 segment. Here you are literally pressing 2830 02:28:12,760 --> 02:28:15,520 up for a good 5 minutes and I'm like oh. 2831 02:28:15,800 --> 02:28:19,080 What was it like? I was, I was, I was entranced by 2832 02:28:19,080 --> 02:28:22,320 the visuals. I this is cinema grade visuals, 2833 02:28:22,320 --> 02:28:25,440 like the the cinematics that the the techniques that they use. 2834 02:28:25,440 --> 02:28:30,080 This was, you know, this film studios use what if not the best 2835 02:28:30,080 --> 02:28:32,560 looking game I've ever played even now. 2836 02:28:33,080 --> 02:28:36,120 And it is it is one of the best looking games period. 2837 02:28:36,280 --> 02:28:39,520 Yeah, it's incredible. It's beautiful, captain. 2838 02:28:39,520 --> 02:28:42,280 Chat says so, hell blade 2 was terrible and they've. 2839 02:28:42,280 --> 02:28:45,200 Greenlit Hell blade. Three, but we get perfect dark 2840 02:28:45,200 --> 02:28:49,720 cancelled look perfect dark wasn't even a thing though they 2841 02:28:49,760 --> 02:28:53,040 they made-up that little portion that little slice that we saw 2842 02:28:53,600 --> 02:28:59,040 that was all made-up that wasn't gameplay they didn't have a game 2843 02:28:59,520 --> 02:29:01,960 that's the fucking most egregious thing ever though a a 2844 02:29:02,320 --> 02:29:03,560 lot of. That was all bullshit. 2845 02:29:04,360 --> 02:29:08,840 Quadruple. Studio Quadruple a studio. 2846 02:29:09,280 --> 02:29:12,480 And they, they made nothing, they made nothing, they made 2847 02:29:12,480 --> 02:29:15,760 nothing. And then they just fucking. 2848 02:29:16,480 --> 02:29:18,320 Got. Abolished like it was just. 2849 02:29:19,120 --> 02:29:21,760 Dude, the story. Of that, just they need to make 2850 02:29:21,760 --> 02:29:24,880 a documentary on that. Just there's a story. 2851 02:29:24,880 --> 02:29:29,240 What happened to what were they called in Not in Exile, The 2852 02:29:29,320 --> 02:29:30,960 initiative? What were they called? 2853 02:29:31,240 --> 02:29:37,360 The initiative I want to see from inception to fucking how it 2854 02:29:37,360 --> 02:29:39,960 was destroyed. And part of that. 2855 02:29:39,960 --> 02:29:43,320 You can kind of see along the way, remember, they had all 2856 02:29:43,320 --> 02:29:45,920 these, like, really big, talented people that they took 2857 02:29:45,920 --> 02:29:49,440 from other studios, and they were calling themselves a small 2858 02:29:49,440 --> 02:29:52,280 and agile studio, which is a great thing, right? 2859 02:29:52,760 --> 02:29:56,320 But then you had this guy bring in everybody from Crystal 2860 02:29:56,320 --> 02:29:59,520 Dynamics to come out. And then that's when you saw the 2861 02:29:59,520 --> 02:30:01,800 shit hit the fan. You were like, wait a minute, 2862 02:30:01,800 --> 02:30:04,240 they're not a small and agile team anymore. 2863 02:30:04,240 --> 02:30:05,440 Yeah. And what's going on here? 2864 02:30:05,440 --> 02:30:07,240 Everyone's like, they're an incubation studio. 2865 02:30:07,240 --> 02:30:09,240 They're going to be building, say, here a little bit here and 2866 02:30:09,240 --> 02:30:11,400 there, and then Crystal Dynamics going to come in and help. 2867 02:30:11,600 --> 02:30:15,360 There was a pitch to actually save the the and buy out the IP 2868 02:30:15,360 --> 02:30:18,600 and then Microsoft said no, Oh no, it's not interested. 2869 02:30:18,680 --> 02:30:22,120 So it's just, I would really like to see the story on that 2870 02:30:22,120 --> 02:30:22,680 though. What? 2871 02:30:22,760 --> 02:30:24,760 What really happened bro? I'll tell you what the story 2872 02:30:24,760 --> 02:30:25,960 that I was talking to a developer. 2873 02:30:25,960 --> 02:30:29,680 When I was at GDC about who worked at the cancelled. 2874 02:30:29,920 --> 02:30:32,880 Bethesda online game that they were working on, the Cyberpunk 2875 02:30:33,120 --> 02:30:35,600 fucking third person game that apparently was amazing. 2876 02:30:35,600 --> 02:30:39,000 Zenermax online game, sorry. And it was, what was it called? 2877 02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:41,800 I forgot the name of it and the guy was telling me the stories 2878 02:30:41,800 --> 02:30:45,000 about how good the game was and how developers were like they 2879 02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:48,240 had some teething issues but Phil Spencer had to be pulled 2880 02:30:48,240 --> 02:30:51,160 away. He was enjoying it so much and 2881 02:30:51,160 --> 02:30:52,960 then they freaking cancelled it and they couldn't believe it. 2882 02:30:53,080 --> 02:30:56,800 And it was all because of AI, the Xbox, I'm sorry, Microsoft 2883 02:30:57,040 --> 02:31:00,360 pursuing AI and copilot. They they pulled the rug and 2884 02:31:00,360 --> 02:31:03,120 then they're the, the, the. The amount of bad blood that 2885 02:31:03,120 --> 02:31:06,240 generated is insane to this day. Matthew Ward. 2886 02:31:06,320 --> 02:31:09,000 Matthew Ward, thank you so much for the $5 super checkers Fonz 2887 02:31:09,000 --> 02:31:10,880 in the house. Got to catch up on the pod when 2888 02:31:10,880 --> 02:31:12,880 I get home.

Such nice words. 2893 02:31:20,400 --> 02:31:22,840 I found that when a lot of people say of my podcast, they 2894 02:31:22,840 --> 02:31:24,280 actually prefer to listen to it after. 2895 02:31:24,280 --> 02:31:27,680 The fact I think it's. Because I meander so much of or 2896 02:31:28,000 --> 02:31:31,120 my ADHD so crazy, when the time stamps are up they probably list 2897 02:31:31,120 --> 02:31:33,200 a whole new of the specific topics that they want to listen 2898 02:31:33,200 --> 02:31:35,360 to. But, Matthew, thank you so much. 2899 02:31:35,440 --> 02:31:37,280 It's really nice. Really nice for you. 2900 02:31:38,440 --> 02:31:41,000 Yeah. So, you know, you know, this is 2901 02:31:41,000 --> 02:31:43,800 what I'm saying. Look, hey, Xbox, it's a it's 2902 02:31:43,800 --> 02:31:45,800 it's a tale of two fucking tales. 2903 02:31:45,800 --> 02:31:48,920 There's so much scope, so much excitement for it and so much 2904 02:31:49,080 --> 02:31:51,560 like in it's landscape. We've talked about so many 2905 02:31:51,560 --> 02:31:55,400 things I could show off and this year and in 2027 and what the 2906 02:31:55,400 --> 02:31:58,440 going on with the it's, it's the most exciting player in the 2907 02:31:58,440 --> 02:32:00,560 space. But it's, oh, you know what 2908 02:32:00,560 --> 02:32:03,280 other game you forgot about? I just, it just hit my mind and 2909 02:32:03,280 --> 02:32:06,200 I had to cut you off because I'm 50 and I will forget. 2910 02:32:06,800 --> 02:32:09,280 Blade What's going on with Blade? 2911 02:32:09,280 --> 02:32:11,440 Like I want to see, I want to see more Blade. 2912 02:32:11,440 --> 02:32:14,080 No, no, right bro. Apparently it's coming out 2913 02:32:14,080 --> 02:32:17,400 really well. That's what I'm hearing. 2914 02:32:17,400 --> 02:32:19,160 I. Obviously that will be the judge 2915 02:32:19,160 --> 02:32:21,960 of that, but Blade is another fucking sick one, actually a 2916 02:32:21,960 --> 02:32:24,400 complete because that will be my most anticipated when I've all 2917 02:32:24,400 --> 02:32:26,200 those games. Actually, it'll be my number one 2918 02:32:26,200 --> 02:32:29,120 out of all of them. If they do, I know that we've 2919 02:32:29,120 --> 02:32:33,480 what we've seen is in that kind of comic book art style, not. 2920 02:32:33,480 --> 02:32:38,760 Necessarily a realistic look, which I would prefer. 2921 02:32:38,760 --> 02:32:41,640 A real look I would. I would prefer that for a blade 2922 02:32:41,640 --> 02:32:44,400 title, but. Because this this is still. 2923 02:32:44,400 --> 02:32:48,280 Mature, it could still be a good game and I just want to. 2924 02:32:48,280 --> 02:32:49,520 See more of. It can. 2925 02:32:49,520 --> 02:32:51,640 Leon bounces as well. I love arcade. 2926 02:32:51,640 --> 02:32:55,200 Leon I love, I love arcade Leon putting a stand on the whole. 2927 02:32:55,200 --> 02:32:57,160 Microsoft and what they were doing politically. 2928 02:32:57,160 --> 02:32:59,840 So I was like rape them. They were out there protesting. 2929 02:33:00,080 --> 02:33:03,880 I was like you bounces. But also, yeah, I do agree with 2930 02:33:03,880 --> 02:33:05,680 you though. Like is it going to be just like 2931 02:33:05,680 --> 02:33:08,520 weird comic book site? I want to look, I think Blade, I 2932 02:33:08,520 --> 02:33:10,240 think Wesley Snipes, I think Viners. 2933 02:33:10,520 --> 02:33:15,040 It could be a situation where you get like a great looking 2934 02:33:15,720 --> 02:33:18,160 South of. Midnight style look not 2935 02:33:18,240 --> 02:33:20,400 necessarily South of midnight, but you know what I'm saying? 2936 02:33:20,400 --> 02:33:23,600 Like a great art style but with really good combat. 2937 02:33:25,480 --> 02:33:29,320 You might hit that here. Like the if they nail the combat 2938 02:33:29,320 --> 02:33:31,760 I could. Care less, you cannot fuck up 2939 02:33:31,760 --> 02:33:33,360 blade. You cannot fuck up Blade. 2940 02:33:33,360 --> 02:33:35,320 You cannot take on an IP like this and fuck it up. 2941 02:33:35,440 --> 02:33:36,920 I'm sorry. Yeah, people. 2942 02:33:37,280 --> 02:33:39,360 And it's a Marvel licence thing and Xbox has it. 2943 02:33:39,640 --> 02:33:41,840 Like you can't fuck it up. Blade is bro. 2944 02:33:43,000 --> 02:33:45,920 The very first Blade movie is one of my favourite Marvel 2945 02:33:45,920 --> 02:33:47,640 flicks. I love Wesley State. 2946 02:33:47,800 --> 02:33:49,800 For me blade 2 was better. I love blade. 2947 02:33:49,840 --> 02:33:53,040 Oh no I like blade one. Blade 1 was so fun. 2948 02:33:53,200 --> 02:33:55,240 I like them both, but blade 1 was. 2949 02:33:55,600 --> 02:33:57,720 Superior in my opinion. I loved it. 2950 02:33:58,480 --> 02:34:01,680 Dude, that first scene in the club with the raining blood and 2951 02:34:01,680 --> 02:34:02,800 everything. Oh so good. 2952 02:34:03,440 --> 02:34:05,160 Was that blade one? I thought it was blade two. 2953 02:34:05,160 --> 02:34:08,280 Yeah, no, that was Blade 1. It might be confusing. 2954 02:34:08,280 --> 02:34:10,800 I'm not confusing. Yeah, you might be confused by 2955 02:34:10,800 --> 02:34:12,480 it.

Yeah, I thought it was a good 3048 02:38:23,120 --> 02:38:25,120 game. I had fun with it, but. 3049 02:38:26,000 --> 02:38:26,920 By the end of. It I was. 3050 02:38:26,920 --> 02:38:31,560 Ready to be done because of the I'm not big on like horde modes, 3051 02:38:31,960 --> 02:38:34,200 like just waves of enemies coming at you. 3052 02:38:35,400 --> 02:38:38,760 I'm typically not actually typically not into that, but I'm 3053 02:38:38,760 --> 02:38:41,600 telling you, I love my first foray into. 3054 02:38:41,760 --> 02:38:44,960 Do the Space Marines and I just loved it. 3055 02:38:44,960 --> 02:38:48,640 It's just like, ohh, this is this is when gaming was good. 3056 02:38:48,640 --> 02:38:51,840 This these guys are fucking badass yet little babies with 3057 02:38:51,840 --> 02:38:53,880 skulls flying around. And then you find out the 3058 02:38:53,880 --> 02:38:57,000 stories are raw because they just literally churn these kids. 3059 02:38:57,760 --> 02:39:01,240 Human beings want to be turned into switches, like live 3060 02:39:01,240 --> 02:39:04,480 switches. It's just a deep Dark World. 3061 02:39:04,480 --> 02:39:07,080 And I want to do the coop. I really want to do the coop, 3062 02:39:08,160 --> 02:39:09,960 but yeah, that that's sold 12 million. 3063 02:39:09,960 --> 02:39:13,120 And Space Marine 3 is already, since it was such a breakout, 3064 02:39:13,120 --> 02:39:14,760 success. It's already in development. 3065 02:39:14,960 --> 02:39:17,160 So there's that. Space Marines 2 was a dank mean. 3066 02:39:17,360 --> 02:39:19,800 Oh, yeah. Assassin's Creed Insider Gaming 3067 02:39:19,800 --> 02:39:23,760 keeps talking about the resync, the Black Flag. 3068 02:39:23,760 --> 02:39:25,920 Yeah. I'll tell you one thing, you 3069 02:39:25,920 --> 02:39:29,080 know, you know I I have no funders for Assassin's Creed. 3070 02:39:29,680 --> 02:39:32,560 But I. Know you don't but Black Flag 3071 02:39:32,720 --> 02:39:36,280 the last the when I played Black Flag 10 times fast bro I'm not 3072 02:39:37,560 --> 02:39:38,600 doing that. Black Flag. 3073 02:39:38,840 --> 02:39:41,080 Black Flag flag. Flag. 3074 02:39:41,840 --> 02:39:43,360 You know you're going to get me fucking. 3075 02:39:43,360 --> 02:39:45,760 Cancer, bro. There's no way I'm saying that. 3076 02:39:45,760 --> 02:39:48,400 Black Flag too. Fast but successively. 3077 02:39:50,280 --> 02:39:54,200 You're already doing it now Black Flag resync is coming out 3078 02:39:55,560 --> 02:39:57,840 and so it might be a game. I would actually. 3079 02:39:57,840 --> 02:39:59,600 Like like to play? Because I remember playing that 3080 02:40:00,120 --> 02:40:03,880 and I thought, do you like ship battles in games and and riding 3081 02:40:03,880 --> 02:40:05,440 on ships? Yeah, I don't. 3082 02:40:05,720 --> 02:40:06,560 I don't. That's why you. 3083 02:40:06,600 --> 02:40:08,080 Like that flag? I liked it. 3084 02:40:08,080 --> 02:40:10,880 I liked it a lot, but it wasn't just the ship battles, it was 3085 02:40:10,880 --> 02:40:13,720 the whole the pirate kind of vibe was really good. 3086 02:40:13,720 --> 02:40:16,200 I was like really enjoying the the little pier though. 3087 02:40:16,640 --> 02:40:19,360 It made me feel more like a pirate than freaking see if 3088 02:40:19,360 --> 02:40:21,520 thieves did. And I really thought I thought 3089 02:40:21,520 --> 02:40:26,280 that was a that was the, the, the pinnacle of AC honestly, 3090 02:40:26,360 --> 02:40:29,200 especially with the RPG ones is definitely. 3091 02:40:29,200 --> 02:40:32,400 Odyssey. Odyssey was so good, so fucking 3092 02:40:32,400 --> 02:40:36,800 good Yeah, yeah, I tried that, but I I really Origins was great 3093 02:40:36,800 --> 02:40:38,720 too. I loved Origins until the very. 3094 02:40:38,720 --> 02:40:41,880 End when they forced you to play somebody else. 3095 02:40:42,440 --> 02:40:47,760 I because Bayek is honestly the the best protagonist in any AC 3096 02:40:47,760 --> 02:40:50,040 game, hands down. Bayek is. 3097 02:40:50,080 --> 02:40:52,120 I've heard that before. He's awesome. 3098 02:40:52,800 --> 02:40:56,840 That is awesome, but. Soccer game, he says. 3099 02:40:56,840 --> 02:40:58,240 You never. Played Sea of Thieves. 3100 02:40:58,880 --> 02:41:03,120 Liar. Yeah, because that's that's the 3101 02:41:03,120 --> 02:41:07,800 pinnacle of ship battles. Remember for for soccer, Zorka, 3102 02:41:07,880 --> 02:41:10,800 you top like Sea of Thieves. It probably is though, to be 3103 02:41:10,800 --> 02:41:14,680 honest, for just. Ship battles online. 3104 02:41:15,000 --> 02:41:17,840 It probably is the best. I mean, it's quite simple. 3105 02:41:17,840 --> 02:41:21,200 It's not exactly like very deep. I I would say the the. 3106 02:41:21,400 --> 02:41:23,280 Combat. But it's fun. 3107 02:41:23,280 --> 02:41:26,320 Neither is any pirate game, because basically you're just 3108 02:41:26,320 --> 02:41:28,400 shooting cannonballs at each other, you know? 3109 02:41:28,400 --> 02:41:30,400 So it's true. And you don't have any that 3110 02:41:30,400 --> 02:41:32,920 visual marker as well, you haven't got like a, you know, 3111 02:41:32,920 --> 02:41:34,840 when you're aiming your cannon, you're manually. 3112 02:41:34,840 --> 02:41:37,640 Aiming it and just judging where it goes and you're obviously the 3113 02:41:37,640 --> 02:41:40,720 the cannon has a trailer that helps you guide it after the 3114 02:41:40,720 --> 02:41:42,920 fact. I was watching my brother play 3115 02:41:42,920 --> 02:41:44,960 the other day and I feel like a lot, it was a lot of fun. 3116 02:41:45,040 --> 02:41:48,840 The Sea of Thieves is we make fun of Zorka a lot about playing 3117 02:41:48,840 --> 02:41:51,520 Sea of thieves a lot because Zorka is the kind of person who 3118 02:41:51,560 --> 02:41:54,520 makes fun of Zelda like you because he is barefooted and he 3119 02:41:54,520 --> 02:41:57,240 runs around because he hit. But Sea of Thieves has that kind 3120 02:41:57,240 --> 02:41:59,840 of like visual a stick as well. But Zorka plays that a lot. 3121 02:42:00,080 --> 02:42:01,800 But see if this is actually a really fun game. 3122 02:42:01,800 --> 02:42:05,400 It's it's one of those games I regret I didn't have a core 3123 02:42:05,400 --> 02:42:06,920 group of friends to play with like me. 3124 02:42:06,920 --> 02:42:09,080 You and Zorka played. That would be hilarious. 3125 02:42:09,200 --> 02:42:11,440 But I know Zorka is a fucking sweaty try hard. 3126 02:42:11,440 --> 02:42:14,440 So you'd be crying like a piece of shit the whole time, taking 3127 02:42:14,440 --> 02:42:17,000 it seriously when a game looks like fucking something from 3128 02:42:17,000 --> 02:42:19,160 Pixar Shout outs. Don't be going out there in a 3129 02:42:19,160 --> 02:42:22,680 schooner around soccer gaming. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 3130 02:42:22,720 --> 02:42:23,920 He's a little bit of a try hard. Oh. 3131 02:42:24,040 --> 02:42:26,400 My God as you need to put the mask up. 3132 02:42:26,600 --> 02:42:28,160 Oh my God. Enemies about 5. 3133 02:42:28,160 --> 02:42:31,600 O'clock and get the freaking repair the shit, throw the water 3134 02:42:31,600 --> 02:42:33,640 away and it's like it's one of those games we just want to 3135 02:42:33,640 --> 02:42:35,360 chill and have a good time and just care. 3136 02:42:35,640 --> 02:42:37,120 I reckon we should actually do that. 3137 02:42:37,120 --> 02:42:37,960 I want. To do more. 3138 02:42:37,960 --> 02:42:40,240 Gaming content we sit down and play games together but 3139 02:42:41,200 --> 02:42:46,360 unfortunately time zones and like real life is a problem yeah 3140 02:42:46,360 --> 02:42:50,600 but AC Black Flag is coming out resynced it might be 1 it's a 3141 02:42:50,600 --> 02:42:52,040 genuinely.
