1:36

that tonight. It's party time,

1:38

you know. I told gee, cancel your plans.

1:40

It's Mario Day. But also, my plan is

1:42

just watch this trailer for the hundredth time

1:45

over and over and over because I am

1:47

completely obsessed with

1:48

it, Craig.

1:48

This movie is

1:49

gonna be incredible. If you didn't know ladies and

1:51

1:56

Kind of funny has million things going on.

1:58

So there was no hey, here's the big let's go

2:00

watch it. Let's go do it blah blah. So we're doing it today.

2:02

I have not watched

2:03

it. But I have seen Tim meltdown

2:06

on Twitter and screenshots and

2:07

things and Brian Altana looking at

2:09

this thing and some Mario Kart thing and there's

2:11

a whole bunch of Mario stuff going on.

2:13

Yeah. And I'm very excited for

2:15

you to see it. I I couldn't wait. And I was

2:17

like, I mean, I need to do a live reaction. I

2:19

just appreciate your shit, doubt. I need to make sure that

2:21

I got my head of the curve, I'm the head of the Greg Miller. Not

2:23

that I would need to be, I'm sure, like, within first watch,

2:26

I'd be like, boom boom. Boom. But there's

2:28

a lot of magic going on. Speaking magic great, I do

2:30

wanna let everybody know. We're working on some

2:32

magic at the studio. So, like, beautiful

2:34

beautiful magic that'll help the studio run

2:36

a lot better. So that's why we are in a work

2:38

from home set right now. Kevin

2:40

is rebuilding the entire brain

2:43

of the studio. So

2:45

That's that. More importantly, what is this out

2:47

I need you to stand up or stand back. I can't

2:50

What if we if you're if you're an audio listener, we

2:52

got a teal hat normal. But then this very

2:54

loud blue bomber jacket Okay.

2:57

So this is just for the game's daily

2:58

look. I I was wondering I didn't know if it was gonna be I mean,

3:00

some kind of Nintendo thing. There was a time

3:02

I don't know. I don't know. It's like an Easter

3:05

green kind of Yeah. Well, it's got that it's

3:07

got that sheer fabric so it's

3:09

bouncing loudly. That's fair.

3:11

So here here's the thing. I wanna let you know. taking

3:13

it off now. I was just a little cold.

3:15

So I put it

3:16

on. Right? Like, it was, like, a

3:17

second before the show, Choice. Now, I'm gonna let y'all

3:20

eat on something. And you're gonna love this one, Greg.

3:22

Yeah. I I appreciate you calling this thing out.

3:24

That's what I did. That's not a wearout

3:26

jacket. That is my pajama

3:29

bomber

3:29

jacket. Got it. This is where I'm home to

3:31

him right now. I haven't been able to wear

3:33

haven't seen work from home to him in

3:35

quite a while. We haven't seen work from home yet. Look at that.

3:37

He's wearing his me and D pants and me and

3:39

D shoes. It feels old. But, yeah, that is

3:41

that is actually my my sleep bomber jacket

3:43

because that's the type of man I am.

3:45

Correct. Doesn't it feel crazy? To

3:47

be back in work from home setup?

3:49

It does. This doesn't feel right. There's weird

3:51

beauty filter out of me, and I don't know how to turn it

3:53

off. It seems who have gotten better

3:55

on my

3:55

end at

3:56

least. Yeah. I I think that might have been just like

3:58

Discord doing something weird, but your

4:00

camera's coming in clear and it doesn't look like

4:02

you're getting Instagram filtered

4:04

anymore. It's

4:06

an adventure. Right. It's always an adventure

4:08

here. It's kinda funny. You know what I mean? Because this,

4:10

of course, kinda funny games deal. I was gonna go to

4:12

the rigmarole, but I actually have a Mario Day question. I'm

4:14

sorry. Connor c writes in for free

4:16

just like you can to kinda funny dot com slash

4:18

KFGD. It says, Hey,

4:20

Kia, GiniFam. Happy Mario Day.

4:23

I've been a Nintendo fan all my life, but

4:25

surprisingly have not purchased

4:28

a Switch yet. I've been lucky

4:30

enough to play a lot of games on different friend switches.

4:32

I'm considering buying the Switch Mario

4:35

bundle that came out today. But

4:37

with rumors again of a new switch

4:39

possibly being late this year slash

4:41

early next year, should I hold out and wait

4:43

for the new switch? Hoping it's backwards compatible

4:46

or bite the bullet and get the Mario

4:48

bundle. Thanks and have a great weekend. Good luck

4:50

to bless today on the Mario twitch stream. Tim,

4:53

you are the Nintendomario

4:55

day expert.

4:57

What should eat it? It's a tough one, Greg. It's real

4:59

tough because And

5:01

look, when it comes to tech, there's always gonna

5:03

be something better around the corner. And when it

5:05

comes to Nintendo, it's unpredictable. Because

5:08

on my guffle, where you're like, oh, we're gonna get

5:10

an iPhone next year, and then one next year, and then

5:12

one next year, you can kind of always be like, alright,

5:15

is it before June then you can consider

5:17

getting the old one and you're gonna be okay. If it's after

5:19

June, you might as well wait till the September October

5:21

event and boom, get the new one. Mhmm. Would

5:23

intend now there's been headlines

5:26

on kind of funny games daily that a Switch pro or

5:28

Switch two is coming once every

5:30

two weeks for the last seven

5:32

years since We like to cover our bases. At one point,

5:34

we'll be right. Yes. So

5:36

I feel like at

5:38

this point, if you do not

5:40

have a switch, You might wanna wait

5:42

for the next one because it will be backwards

5:44

compatible, and I do think that

5:47

it is going to be

5:49

here within the next I

5:53

don't know, you're in some change, but that's

5:55

the thing that's a while. So if you can get

5:57

a good deal, there's a lot of games on Switch. So

5:59

you're gonna get your money's worth. If you get Oh,

6:01

let's switch right now. You're gonna be able

6:03

to play an amazing library games

6:05

and it's gonna be great investment. But

6:08

that investment Once once you play one

6:10

of these games, you're gonna get hooked. You're gonna be Nintendo

6:12

board for

6:13

life, baby. Alright? I

6:14

mean, Connor claims me an Nintendo board but didn't buy

6:16

a switch. I don't I can't believe that. can't buy anything.

6:18

He'll be celebrating Mario Day with me

6:20

next year if he buys that switch today. You

6:22

know what I'm talking

6:23

about? Committed switch. You're not getting a

6:25

new switch in a year. Don't

6:27

listen to Tim. Alright. I mean, even if you did,

6:29

it would be a slight

6:30

upgrade. It's not gonna be a switch too. It's gonna be a

6:32

slight upgrade, some other thing. But I mean, like, look,

6:34

that's a -- Right. -- rehash conversation for the

6:36

million time. But great. I'm interested in your perspective

6:39

on this one. We had Jeff Grub on a couple weeks

6:41

ago. We talked about this a bit time and blessing about

6:43

it. But do we expect many

6:45

major games on the Switch after tiers of

6:47

the kingdom? Because it doesn't really seem like

6:49

that's the case. It seems like we're we're reaching

6:51

the end of this and seven years into this

6:53

life cycle. That's that's a long time

6:55

for a console that is is

6:58

outdated. Right? And, like, like, people can talk

7:00

about that any way they want of, like, does that

7:02

matter for Nintendo? I think it's starting to

7:04

matter for

7:04

Nintendo. I mean,

7:06

eventually, you have to do something. And I do think

7:09

whatever the next thing is, it will be back compatible.

7:11

It'll be I hope this did the super, you

7:13

know, super Nintendo switch and just be something cool

7:15

there. They got a good brand name. They got a good name. I want the

7:17

next console to still be a hybrid, yada yada yada.

7:21

And so yeah. Like, no. There isn't much on the horizon,

7:23

but it also, like, when

7:25

there is, though, I don't it's

7:27

a Nintendo. Right? And I think they've shown

7:30

time and time again, they don't worry about being

7:32

ahead of the curve or being behind the curve.

7:34

And so I do think that, like, obviously, they're working

7:36

you'd assume they're working on a new Mario card.

7:38

You assume they're working on a new Mario you'd assume

7:40

that everything you would, and it's like, with so many

7:42

switches in the wild, if it can run on a normal switch,

7:44

why not put it out there? And then again, when you get to

7:46

the Super Nintendo Switch, why not just put out the

7:48

deluxe of the game? You already put out of the switch and have people

7:50

go and rebuy and be crazy about it. I'm

7:52

more interested. I know you talked little bit about the

7:54

s

7:55

j. Who do you think these DLC characters are gonna be for

7:57

Mario these new ones that got added to the side.

7:59

I I think that Chris might

8:01

be Is it gonna be Chris might No. I I don't think

8:03

so. I think I think it's gonna be like Mario mainstays.

8:05

I think we might get one or two fun out

8:07

of Mario, things like we've seen with animal crossing

8:10

or some of this, platoon, or

8:12

yeah. I mean, that that stuff would be

8:13

cool. I I don't think it's gonna be that cold, though. I

8:15

think it's gonna more of the bird elaine.

8:18

No. Superlane. Oh,

8:20

drive It will be the oh, hey. Don't wanna

8:23

get me started now. They put drive bones in there. Alright? That's

8:25

what I'm saying. It's it's those type of guys. Well, it's dry

8:27

bones. Don't don't even put don't for a

8:29

second, put fucking dry bones into the burdo

8:31

category.

8:32

Where what category would you put

8:34

dry bones in, Greg, fucking rock stars?

8:36

It's not tomatoes.

8:38

Yeah.

8:39

I do. There's rock song. There's Halo's

8:41

in Nintendo.

8:42

Alright. Yeah. Alright.

8:45

I think we get one cool character, and I think

8:47

it's Samus. Especially

8:49

since Metroid has been popping off

8:50

lately. Yeah.

8:52

That makes sense. I

8:54

I feel like the list of characters leaked, but I

8:56

don't know if that was accurate or not. Like, last

8:58

week, but I I could

8:59

be wrong. Can't trust

9:00

someone to look into that. I can't

9:02

you can't trust it. While you look into that, I'll tell you

9:04

about the fact that we have the final Super Mario Bros.

15:26

damn good talking.

15:27

Yeah. Nobody else is saying

15:28

it. Did you hear that the movie

15:30

is an hour and a half? I didn't hear that.

15:32

It is, Craig. Ninety million dollars.

15:35

God bless that. They know exactly what they're

15:37

doing. But what do you think about this? It

15:39

looks awesome. Like, it looks like it's such a

15:41

a fun time and it's that thing of, you

15:43

know, not being a intended super fan.

15:46

Even I look at it and I enjoy it and the jokes funny.

15:48

And I I mean, I know who the characters are or whatever, but I appreciate

15:50

how much of it is. Like, you'd

15:52

be like, oh, it's this shortcut. Oh, it's this

15:54

thing. Oh, it's it's like clearly,

15:57

they really really tried on this. And don't mean

15:59

that and I don't mean and I know that that sounds

16:01

in a way fucking insulting, but it's just how

16:03

many video game movies aren't how

16:06

many video game movies are putting in a shortcut

16:08

from the, you know, the sixty four version of Rainbow.

16:10

Like, that's like such a deep cut thing that that's awesome

16:12

that Nintendo slash illumination took

16:14

it that seriously and went that hard and

16:17

got that deep into the weeds of what's going

16:18

on. Let

16:19

alone the things we haven't seen or what we've seen in previous trailers.

16:21

Yeah. I mean, there's there's so much in here. And

16:23

like, I'm right there with you where I feel like the the humor

16:25

has really worked for me so far in in all of

16:27

these trailers. And it sets the tone

16:30

for, like, this just seems like it's gonna be a well written

16:32

movie, period. Obviously, a kids movie. But, like,

16:34

one of those kids movies that can work on work for

16:36

adults as well. But in terms of the the video

16:38

game lore and love and all that stuff, like, they're they're

16:40

nailing it. Like, this is so authentic. This

16:42

is exactly what I'd wanna see from a

16:45

a Mario movie. And I love that they're going

16:47

full tilt into it referencing generations,

16:49

decades of Mario's experiences in

16:52

this one film and we talk so much about

16:54

the the different adaptations of video

16:56

games to movies or TV or whatever. And I

16:58

always talk about how music is such an important

17:01

part to and sound design to

17:03

what makes video game special. And for some reason

17:05

uncharted has, like, a hint of a booz,

17:07

Ella, for one second in the

17:09

movie.

17:09

Yes. That's a theme. Using the score

17:11

where it's like, what the hell are you doing? Like, that was just

17:13

a generic a generic action movie

17:16

as opposed to uncharted. Whereas

17:18

you watch the last of us, and it's like, oh, this is the

17:20

last of us. And that's for many reasons.

17:22

But music, I think, is a one

17:24

of those reasons. Watch for this. For sure.

17:27

The amount of love given

17:29

to pretty much every Mario theme

17:31

ever in some way, shape, or form through the last couple

17:33

trailers and clips. I'm like, I'm expecting

17:35

this to be an all timer soundtrack. It's gonna

17:37

be so damn good. And that love

17:39

is a medley of so

17:42

many different like motifs and ideas that

17:44

Mario has had throughout the years,

17:46

but that's backed up visually as well. With

17:48

so many cool references, so many like,

17:51

world building elements to make this feel like, yeah,

17:53

we're seeing the mushroom kingdom in a way that

17:55

we've only dreamt of before or, like,

17:58

used our imagination to create

18:00

Peach's Castle from Mario sixty four into this

18:02

much bigger

18:02

world. Well,

18:03

here's my question. If I if I can

18:05

interrupt, if I can interrupt, you talk about

18:07

that you've only dreamt of before. Like,

18:09

what I like about this

18:13

from the trailers is that I

18:15

feel like it's in it clearly isn't, but it's

18:17

not a one for one with the mushroom kingdom

18:19

we've seen in the games before. Right? It seems like they're

18:21

having fun with the ideas, themes, character. Of

18:24

it and doing their own thing with it. It's

18:26

clearly Mario. It's clearly in Russian

18:28

kingdom, yada yada. But, like, it

18:30

just seems like we're stepping into a world

18:32

that of that will be familiar yet new

18:34

and is an entry point into it whether you

18:36

have

18:36

the, you know, thirty some years of Mario

18:39

Fandab or not.

18:40

So I'll say yes and no to that because

18:42

I do think that this is a new thing, but I don't

18:44

think that it's necessarily unique. I just think that it's

18:47

Back in nineteen ninety six, Mario sixty

18:49

four came out. And from that

18:52

moment on, they had a homogenized look

18:54

to watch -- Share mushroom Kingdom is what the Mario

18:56

cast looks like and all of that. I feel like since

18:58

then, there's been, like, little twists and turns with

19:00

sunshine and galaxy, odyssey, like and it's

19:02

been refined over time, the new Super Mario

19:04

Bros. Series. But this movie I think

19:06

is kind of like twenty

19:09

twenty three homogenizing of everything

19:12

that's come before of like this is this is

19:14

what that it wants the mushroom kingdom

19:16

to look like and what it can look like.

19:18

And I say that because going through this trailer

19:20

and all the puts that we've seen, there's so many,

19:22

like, different locations that we've seen in other

19:25

games, but they're just updated to this

19:27

style and it feels authentic. Even seeing the

19:29

inside of Peach's castle, Obviously, it's not one to

19:32

one to have the castle looked in Mars fifty four,

19:34

but it feels in line with it. If there's the

19:36

right things are there, the sun on

19:38

the bottom of the floor, and it's opening up here,

19:40

it's like that's all stuff that would have felt authentic

19:42

to Mario sixty four if they had the

19:44

technology to be able to pull it

19:46

off. I wanna show you a whole bunch of cool

19:48

things in the the trailer though. If you will allow

19:50

me to, Greg. Team, I've said it since

19:52

we share that hotel room. You show me the coolest

19:54

things anytime. I don't mind. Mhmm. Love

19:57

that. Barrett, can you bring the the

19:59

trailer up and we can just kind of it doesn't

20:01

need to be frame by frame, but just kind of like skip

20:03

it around a little bit Obviously,

20:05

it's great seeing the the the little baby Luma

20:08

here galaxy reference there. Of course.

20:10

Luigi seems to be the the princess

20:13

role in this movie where Mario's trying to

20:15

go save him, not quite in

20:17

a mansion, but in a scary situation.

20:20

But then pretty much immediately,

20:22

we get a whole bunch of the the

20:25

the Koopa army.

20:25

Right? Like, I love the the joke about the Spineys,

20:28

like, not knowing

20:29

Their name is Maria. We we've never seen

20:31

the blue turtles in the

20:33

Mario games which I think is fun because we obviously

20:35

get the blue shell in Mario Kart.

20:38

So that had to come from somewhere. Fair

20:40

enough. Fair enough. One of these guys, which I I

20:42

appreciate. And

20:45

then Yeah. Coming up

20:47

here, there's gonna be some shots I wanna pause on

20:49

for sure because we get

20:51

some direct references to video

20:55

game levels that excite the actual

20:57

shit out of me. So

20:59

here here we have toasterina

21:01

from Myo Odyssey. Right? And this

21:03

looks pretty much straight out of it. And this is kind of what

21:05

I'm talking about about homogenizing the look

21:08

now, where it's like Mario's been building

21:10

towards this, but it really feels authentic

21:12

because this just looks like if

21:15

the switch could, you know, be,

21:17

like, a PlayStation five. Sure. Yeah. That's pretty.

21:20

But right before this blast, Barry.

21:24

Is the money shot, the bomb

21:26

battlefield from Mario sixty four. This

21:28

is the updated version of

21:30

the first level of Mario sixty four. And

21:33

I just I just love

21:34

it. I love it so much.

21:35

Nice thing to do. You love to get it. Goop

21:36

for the quick. Goop

21:38

for the quick? No. King

21:40

blah blah blah. Maybe he'd be

21:42

up there on that floating oh, no. No. He would be

21:44

on the top of the mountain. Right? Yep. Yep. So out

21:46

to the lake. But just

21:48

really love it. And like this to me is like such a perfect

21:50

example of the type of love that they're showing

21:52

this where it just looks cool and beautiful and builds

21:55

out a mushroom kingdom for other people like

21:56

you, Greg. But for me, I'm losing my mind. You know.

21:59

Well, that's the thing is, like, I would never catch

22:01

football and battlefield. Right? So I'm glad it's there for

22:03

you and I pre I I respect and

22:05

love that that level of details there

22:07

that they had that kind of you

22:10

know, you would assume cooperation with

22:12

Nintendo and fans on staff that they're, like, these

22:14

are the things. I'd love to know what's on the cutting room floor

22:16

in terms

22:16

of, like, ideas they pitch that'll probably be the second one

22:18

or whatever they're gonna do with it. But mhmm.

22:20

Mhmm. I'm I'm stoked, man. And then here

22:22

we go. First time ever, seeing DK

22:25

power up with a fireflower. Like,

22:27

that's awesome. That's never happened, Mark. Donkey Kong

22:29

has never been in playable in A2D

22:31

Mario game, so we or even three d.

22:33

So we never got this, and that definitely

22:36

would make sense. And I love that they stick

22:38

to how this works where Mario's overalls

22:40

turn white and red and d k's tie turns

22:42

white and red, some of his his fur

22:44

as well as, like, I love that. We see

22:46

Mario eat the mushroom and get bigger

22:49

and power up. I think this is,

22:51

like, Chris or Chris Prat's best

22:53

delivery so far, like feeling authentically

22:55

like Mario, feel like the

22:58

sound he makes is like perfect. I mean, yeah, this

23:00

shot, I mean, this hammer bros This

23:02

is chill inducing to me. Like, this is everything

23:04

I can want from a Mario movie. Like, a reference

23:07

to two d platforming running left to right, but on

23:09

top of that, They give the Tim Geddes out

23:11

there even more love. We got donkey kong

23:13

on the other plane in the background jumping

23:15

to the foreground just like he does a tropical

23:18

freeze. There's a lot of love going on here.

23:20

And then can can you go back one more time

23:23

there to play this this little bit through?

23:25

Because there's just so much going on and

23:27

it's so cool to see, like, the the momentum

23:30

going on, and then we get the ground pound. We get Mario

23:32

do it. It's ground pound. Like, love

23:34

it, man.

23:36

This is super cool. Yeah. That was one of the

23:38

things I saw Brian Eltono call out. Right? That it's

23:40

the same cart selection as in Mario

23:42

Kart, if you go back Barrett to understanding in front of,

23:44

like, the cart pods. That it has the little, like,

23:46

casino deal on the bottom

23:47

of, like, I think how do you put them all together?

23:49

Yeah. So you can see those the three little things have been

23:51

building out their carts which is just

23:53

I just love the modern parts this movie at all,

23:56

but the amounts of love that

23:58

it's getting here is just beyond what I've would have

24:00

ever expected and hype is shit.

24:02

Like, I love chase scenes. Y'all know that about

24:04

me. This just looks awesome. The choreography,

24:07

the, like, just pacing of this all just seems

24:09

really great. Obviously jumping

24:11

off the course, a Mario Kart Classic there,

24:14

him getting this guy just going through this whole little

24:16

action scene. I can't wait to see this all play out because

24:18

I think this is gonna be fun as hell.

24:21

And then, yeah, just the remix little version of

24:23

the the music there at the end. It's just the the little cherry

24:26

on top for me to be like, yeah. I'm all

24:28

in. Well, it's

24:30

coming up fast. Right? It

24:33

is April seventh, Matt. They

24:35

pushed it up,

24:36

actually. It's it's coming off of that campaign.

24:39

know, starfield was like, we're we're scared. We're moving

24:41

away. Mars, like, we'll take on everybody. We're

24:43

not afraid of this. Successions

24:45

get out of the way. We don't care about your final

24:47

season. We'll be right here. Dropping things all

24:50

over. We have a couple You're

24:54

wrongs here, but I wanna just get here while you're kebab's

24:57

pop points out that dry bones is already in Mario

24:59

Kart eight, but there's no roams or I'll say head bones

25:01

yet. I was mainly arguing the fact that,

25:03

you know, murder sucks and drive bonus is great, but

25:05

I understand if there was confusion though. I appreciate that.

25:07

And then Bander SN says Nintendo specified

25:09

that the new character coming to Mario Kart eight DLC

25:12

would be returning characters. So only characters from

25:14

past games. The official Mario

25:16

Kart eight DLC web page clarifies

25:18

this. AKA is just gonna be characters

25:20

currently in tour like Burger.

25:23

Interesting. Yeah. The the leak, quote,

25:25

unquote, that was talking about. I

25:28

did find it. And it seems like it's

25:30

very unverified, but just gonna say this out there in

25:32

case this ends up being true because it is backed

25:34

up. They put this out before

25:36

the Nintendo Direct happens that confirmed

25:38

that Murdo was coming. So

25:41

and it it has to be there. So it's like, oh, yeah. And then

25:43

some of courses as well. So it's

25:45

like there is some level of this

25:47

could be true. But they're saying King

25:49

Baham, Pedy Piranha, Hammer bro,

25:52

charge and shock, Monty Moll, Diddy,

25:54

Dixie, funky. Get hyped

25:56

there. SNES Mario,

25:58

Kamek, Paleen, and Nabbit. Wait.

26:03

That's,

26:03

like, way too many characters, though. There's

26:05

only five more than five boxes. Yeah.

26:09

Now real quick, Didi, Dixie, in in

26:11

grumpy or whatever the fuck his name was. Which one's the

26:13

sexy one, Bear, Alex? Funky.

26:19

He's a funky boy doing funky things.

26:21

Combat is also pointed out, and you're wrong. Just not even if

26:23

you're wrong, but a thing that he likes small detail trailer

26:25

DK's power up sound is taken from

26:27

jumpman, getting the hammer power up in the original

26:29

donkey kong game. Gold. I I'm gonna

26:31

get all this out. That's a lot, man. So good.

26:33

Mario powering up is the Mario powering up

26:35

sound. And then later when he kicks something,

26:37

it's like the break breaking sound. It's just great,

26:39

man.

26:40

What I like about today is it kinda feels like

26:43

a rainy day and then a substitute teacher

26:45

wheels in the big TV because number two on the

26:47

Roper report. Let's talk about Fortnite

26:49

chapter four season two. We've

26:51

been knowing it was Mega. We saw it yesterday

26:53

there was a little bit of a teaser. Now it's

26:55

officially happening season our chapter

26:57

four season two. We have a cinematic trailer

27:00

and a gameplay

27:00

trailer. Bear, let's watch the cinematic trailer.

27:03

Give me a second. Sorry.

27:04

No problem. Know that we were gonna

27:06

react to these. So

27:08

the go there and then we're gonna go here

27:11

and then we're gonna train the mission.

27:16

See, they say you like Mario Power recently.

27:18

Yeah. Exactly overnight with

27:20

Cherry Blossom. As the tireless

27:22

areas of, you know, all the the areas of Porte

27:25

Niagara Falls in the sky. But

27:28

it's mega,

27:33

What's heartbreaking to is that Fortnite just

27:35

peaking the farmers season. Because

27:37

I love Fortnite. It's a great game. You know, so many.

27:39

I still jump in. still play every so often. Not like,

27:41

you know, Kevin obsessively plays, Joey obsessively.

27:44

But but, like, what a

27:46

time to be alive when it was just that one season market.

27:48

About a pass marble and everything

27:49

marbling. Allison Some

27:52

would say that it's peaking right now with all the anime

27:54

coming in.

27:55

But is are are these the anime is

27:58

is this the anime people like

28:00

Oh, yeah. They already ate your dude. Tuck on Titan.

28:02

I was asking an anime fan berry Courtnee

28:04

on YouTube. I mean, attack on Titan.

28:05

Not for me, but still,

28:06

like, cool

28:08

that more anime loves getting the show. So

28:11

you

28:11

would have told me each every one of these characters was created

28:14

by the four and I peep one out of my Yeah. Makes sense. You're

28:16

telling me that loser man back there with the lizard head.

28:18

He's he's not what I said. He's somebody from the

28:21

thing you like. Oh, no. You're right. What's going on?

28:26

We already thought of the gameplay trailer

28:28

too, if you don't mind. Of course, it's available.

28:30

Now, free to play battle royale 49I think

28:32

it's I'll pass and all that

28:34

jazz. It's a pretty thing, man. I like the, you

28:36

know, Neo Topio look there for the kind of

28:38

thing. Yeah. It's really cool. The

28:40

makeup branding is interesting, right, and not

28:43

eleven point nine just keeps going, man. And like,

28:46

I can't get over how good this game looks now,

28:48

compared to how it used to look. Like, these updates

28:50

are just wild man. And, like,

28:52

the fact that it's free to play and all that, it's

28:55

good for

28:55

y'all. When you look at this, yeah, you I mean, if

28:57

you showed somebody this, just, like, out of the

28:59

blue, would they understand it was Fortnite? Well, I I know you you

29:01

know it's Fortnite. I'm like, it looks almost

29:03

at points like GTA or Saint

29:05

Laurent, I guess, even more. Yeah.

29:08

But yeah, I Fortnite is continues to

29:10

be even if you are a hater, you know,

29:12

like, Fortnite land game or whatever. Can

29:14

you sit there and not be like, what an amazing

29:16

fucking story? And the fact that, yeah, every

29:18

season they iterate into it, like, the

29:20

fact they can continue to be the, like, the

29:23

biggest game in any school you go to talking

29:25

to any person because they continue to

29:27

be the place everybody wants to go hang out in our go

29:29

to's up. When I was at Royal Rumble,

29:32

you know, I I had my friend from

29:34

college actually come out and she brought her to two of

29:36

her young boys. And, like, they

29:38

were they were they are Fortnite obsessed. And, like,

29:40

every time we get back to the hotel, they would break out the

29:42

switches and start playing it or whatever. And

29:45

I had to lie to them

29:47

because I wanted me to add them on the thing. And I was like, okay.

29:49

And so I opened up ex cloud and added them that way.

29:51

And they were so, like, wait a second. How are you playing on

29:53

your phone? You're not even on WiFi? And I was like,

29:55

I can't open this door for now. I

29:57

can't ruin their mom's life this much of, like,

29:59

oh, no. You can put forth in any way or anyone or whatever.

30:01

But, like, like, even that It's

30:04

so crazy. I think about, you know, pre pandemic.

30:06

Like, I don't know if it was twenty nineteen,

30:08

maybe it was twenty eighteen. Like, you know, me

30:10

and my dad were bumming around a target,

30:13

waiting for one of the people we were with to get stuff.

30:15

And I we walked over to video games, and he always

30:17

waning stuff to him. And was like, to stop

30:19

and talk about Fortnite. Like, this is the biggest thing in the world

30:21

right now, and they sent behind the glass right now, but you

30:23

could just download it for free. You could play it on your phone. We could play

30:25

it right now. Like watching his

30:27

and trying to wrap his mind around that

30:29

to then let alone be ahead maybe

30:32

four, maybe five years and it's still we just

30:34

take it for granted. This trailer drops.

30:36

It's like, oh, yeah. Fortnite's new

30:37

season. Looks incredible. Has all this new

30:39

stuff and all this new content and all these things happening and

30:41

people are obsessed with and all these amazing stuff.

30:43

That's just Fortnite. Just went to us.

30:45

Dude, it's it's very cool. A couple of days ago,

30:48

bless and I were talking. I think we're talking about actually

30:50

about the rumors of this season

30:52

coming. The title and all that. And

30:55

we we someone wrote in was just like,

30:57

hey, if you can only have three

30:59

games for rest of your life, three developers or whatever,

31:01

like, what would it be? And I was

31:04

saying, like, I might use one of those slots

31:07

for either Fortnite or

31:09

for from software. And I'll just

31:11

like, this is it. If these are the only games I ever

31:13

get to play ever, I'm just going all in.

31:16

And I feel like it's two different sides, but I

31:18

I think that that's pretty wild. That four nine

31:20

alone kick a beat with all

31:22

of whatever from software might put out

31:24

at some point in terms of me getting

31:26

into an investing and having being rewarded

31:28

with tons of great

31:29

content. So here's my question. Do you think that horrible

31:32

situation you just said happened? Because, honestly, we love

31:34

video games. We love a diverse video game community,

31:36

and we love games everywhere. Would you still

31:38

be a video game fan? Like, would you suddenly

31:41

like, I gotta learn to love

31:42

Fortnite? Yeah. I mean, I think so.

31:44

Like, I I feel like I feel like that's the thing

31:46

is like it's about dedication and time where it's

31:48

like I'm inside the gamer. I don't like

31:50

having to play a million games and

31:52

having to play games every

31:55

day for hours. I would if I had someone

31:57

on my aid, you check-in, you play however

32:00

much you want every week, whatever, Yeah. Dude,

32:02

I'd I'd love that. And, like, I feel like I'd get

32:04

really into both Fortnite and the

32:06

front software games. Interesting.

32:10

You would you would give up? I don't believe

32:12

that about Greg

32:13

Miller. Well, I mean, like, give up isn't

32:15

the right word. I think you just wouldn't give me the experiences

32:17

I want out of gaming. And and, like, to

32:19

be clear, I love Fortnite. Fortnite I'd

32:21

be fine with. Like, Fortnite I come

32:23

and go from, you've seen me many a time. Like,

32:26

you know, I stay away for literally years and then come

32:28

back and I have month where it's all I play and I'm doing something

32:30

and I'm chasing something like, when the battle

32:32

pass is great, when there's,

32:34

you know, a a group playing that I really wanna get

32:36

involved with. You I'll pop on every so often with Moe and

32:39

his son, Jack, like, we'll go play and streamed with

32:41

us and stuff like that. Like, there's always that. So Fortnite

32:43

could live with whereas, like, a from soft

32:45

from software was the only game in town or one of like,

32:47

that was what you had to play the restaurant. Like, or they

32:50

just took over with your games, like, I

32:52

guess I would, but, like, I just don't vie with their world,

32:54

so don't think I'd want to spend time in there. And I think I'd

32:56

end up being a loser and reading or something. You

32:58

know what I

32:58

mean? Or watching movies?

33:00

Well, You know what I mean? don't want this damn shit.

33:02

Like, that's just not my life. But, like, I

33:04

thankfully don't have to worry about it because there's so much other stuff

33:06

happen.

33:06

Yeah. I feel like it's not my life, but it would become my

33:08

life. I feel like I'd be that guy. Well,

33:11

you you play all the baby games on Switch. That's

33:13

what you love doing. Wouldn't you wanna do that? Where's

33:15

this fucking infant not time wise Mario to talk

33:17

about

33:17

it? Great. The context that I I should have

33:19

gave you is, like, we it was, like, you get to choose

33:22

the the developers. And, like, those are the only developers

33:24

games you get to play for the rest of time. And --

33:26

Okay. -- we had to choose three. And with that,

33:28

it's like it's not like their output changes. So

33:30

if you choose an

33:31

omnidog, you're only getting one game in a couple years.

33:33

See, that's a very fascinating question. I love

33:35

that idea. So I would want something that is the

33:37

ever nonstop drip of

33:39

content. Now, of course, you look right past, of

33:41

course, DC universe online, which I would take

33:43

in a heart attack. Short night. I did. I

33:45

did. But what I my list I was saying, of course,

33:47

I would want the Mario team, Nintendo EAD.

33:49

Cool. But I'm not gonna get too many

33:51

of those in the future. It was dot And then

33:53

it was the question of do I go Pokemon company

33:55

or

33:56

Insomniac? And then the third one, I was like, I

33:58

feel like it'd be a fun thing to choose Fortnite or

34:00

from software. I'm sorry.

34:02

Yeah. No. That's a great one. That's a great one. I

34:04

do appreciate the discussion. That's a great that's even

34:06

a great games cast or whatever. I would just

34:09

threw me off there as everybody knows. Greg Miller's

34:11

takes the games in the YouTube chat. Alexander

34:16

Reyes, says, Greg wants a cricket who works

34:18

on a race to talk about the meaning of life.

34:20

Holy I

34:27

would like to see that game. What what indie

34:29

studio was making that one, the cricket the way

34:31

of life. Oh my

34:32

lord. I'm so funny. That's

34:35

fucking amazing. I love you guys so much. Yeah.

34:37

Great today. Yeah. Elvis Bird says his

34:39

tip worry. Eyeshadow. I'm not. There's a

34:41

beauty filter on

34:42

that. I don't know how to turn it off.

34:44

I'm telling you say if it's off, it's not there

34:46

anymore.

34:47

I mean, I've seen it on my gabbro. Like, there's

34:49

something I'm looking good. You

34:50

look good.

34:51

Just just

34:51

be good. Just look good. Yeah. I'll take it, man.

34:54

I'll I'm looking glamorous. Glamorous.

34:58

Faksi. Faksi. That's Fergi, everybody,

35:00

if you don't remember Thank you. Look, if you don't know her

35:02

a crack at history, book people. Jesus. Number

35:05

three.

35:09

Is that thing where I'm like, I'm just so,

35:11

like, on am d. You know what

35:12

I mean? But I was, like, committed to being here. Like,

35:14

I don't even know what I'm throwing today, what I'm throwing

35:16

at. Number three,

35:18

Let's talk a little bit more

35:21

about suicide squad. Possibly slipping,

35:24

possibly to twenty twenty four. This

35:26

is Evan Campbell over in GameSpot. Aren't

35:28

the Queen in Task Force x? Task

35:31

Force x, which I know well, but can't say today,

35:34

might not be seen this year in suicide

35:36

squad killed the justice league after all. The

35:38

game from Batman Arkham night developer,

35:40

Rockstead, could see a lengthier delay

35:43

than even recently reported. Jeff

35:45

Grub of GameSpot's sister site giant bomb

35:47

stating that on his game mess, decides podcast

35:50

via Isle Sloth on Twitter. That's

35:52

mouthful for the guy who works on the sister site. You

35:54

know what I mean? Just anyway, that he's got

35:56

words, suicide squad is getting pushed out

35:58

of this year. Quote, listen.

36:01

I don't wanna, like, cause a panic or anything, which

36:04

don't think Jeff nobody's gonna fucking panic about suicide.

36:06

But I heard it's not even coming this year, you said.

36:09

I'm hearing twenty twenty four. Grub

36:11

does add that quote, this stuff is hard

36:13

to nail down for sure, but his source

36:15

is a, quote, very good one. That

36:18

would that would be further out than Bloomberg's

36:20

Jason Schrier reported yesterday. Who claimed

36:22

the game would still launch later this year.

36:24

He mentioned that this delay was mainly for

36:26

Polish not to overhaul the core gameplay

36:28

that caused the backlash end quote. Suicide

36:31

Squad is a live service game that requires a constant

36:33

Internet connection. A big gameplay showing

36:35

at Playstation's state of play saw pretty negative

36:37

feedback last month. There hasn't been any

36:40

official word out of Warner Bros. Games in

36:42

rock city. That suicide squad is delayed.

36:45

As such, the game is still currently slated to release

36:47

May twenty six. That said, if the game does

36:50

get pushed back until next year, it raises

36:52

questions about how the structure of the title, specifically

36:54

live service might be reevaluated. Of

36:57

course, this broke yesterday on Games Daily,

36:59

the Jason Shrier thing of the delay later

37:01

this year. Now, we have the Jeff Grub special

37:04

sauce. Of hey, maybe it's gonna be

37:06

next year overall. Tim, what do you think? I

37:08

mean, that wouldn't surprise me with the news

37:10

from yesterday coming out. I What's

37:12

the difference between early next year,

37:15

late this year. I feel like it's

37:17

not really that different in terms of

37:19

where this game hits, but I do think that could be

37:21

the difference of what the delay

37:23

is being used for. Because delaying

37:25

it from May to August or

37:28

September, like, that's not gonna be able to

37:30

change the game. Whereas if you delay it

37:32

more potentially it could. We'll delay

37:34

it more and change it to the game,

37:36

give it enough time for it to be fixed. That's

37:38

a much bigger question. Does

37:40

it need to be fixed? That's a different question.

37:43

What's the audience for this game? I don't

37:45

know, but it's there. I feel like there's a lot

37:47

of things with this that where the trains left the station,

37:49

this game has to come out. And we've

37:51

been saying since day one that this isn't what

37:53

we're looking forward to. There are people on our

37:55

team. They're like, this game looks fun. Not because

37:58

it's a suicide squad game, just because the game looks

38:00

fun. This could be a fun game. I don't

38:02

expect this to be a Batman Arkham level

38:04

game, but I think that there could be fun

38:06

to be hot. I think Warner Brothers needs more

38:08

than that. They need money, and they need sustainability,

38:11

and this is a game as a

38:12

service, and they need people using this game as

38:14

a service. And I don't know that they're gonna get that

38:16

with or without these fixes. Howard Bauchner:

38:19

I think, I'm

38:21

not surprised by the talk of push to twenty

38:23

twenty four. Because I'm right there with you

38:25

that pushing in a few months is

38:27

just then a PR move. We talked a bit about this on

38:29

PS. I love you today. Of, like, it

38:32

really just seems to be emergency public

38:34

relations slash marketing. Holy shit.

38:36

Did people fucking hate that say the play?

38:38

So let's delay it. Try to get away from it.

38:40

Maybe do a, as I was saying,

38:42

a IG in first, a deep

38:45

dive on game informer coverage. Another

38:48

beat, maybe, you know, do an event and let people

38:50

play the fucking game so they could come out and say, yeah,

38:52

this actually is fun. This is cool. Oh, didn't

38:54

understand it because it just looks like all of

38:56

them are shooting guns. No, there is a difference

38:58

between King Shark, to Harley Quinn,

39:00

to Captain Boomerang. There's a

39:02

bunch of different ways. Getting to twenty twenty four,

39:04

it's interesting you said that, you know, oh, what's

39:07

the difference between late twenty twenty three

39:09

or early twenty twenty four, I would think if you push

39:11

into twenty twenty four, you're gonna see it

39:13

later than early. I would think it'd be, like,

39:15

back to summary and to fall or whatever. But

39:17

again, it comes down to what can you really

39:19

do with this? Where the

39:22

backlash is it's not

39:24

it does it's not like you're looking at this, and I

39:26

to use AAA very antiquated

39:28

thing. Crack fucking history book. Of like

39:31

it's not like when infamous two

39:33

got debuted and we're all like, what the did you do to

39:35

Cole and they changed the character design of Cole. Right? That

39:37

was an easy enough fix. That's and you still

39:39

took a lot of work, maybe still the Internet and made

39:41

it and handled it well. But it got fixed

39:43

easy enough. Whereas this one, it's like, people hate the live

39:45

service. And people don't like the characters of

39:47

being the suicide squad. If people think the suicide squad

39:49

all looks the same when they fight. And they don't like the

39:51

the the way it looks on the skill trees and the battle

39:54

patent. It's like there's so many different things

39:56

that don't know internally what they're picking. They'll

39:58

be like, this is what we're gonna use the time to fix. This

40:00

is what we're gonna do. And if you go to the core thing

40:02

of it being a live service game, I can't imagine

40:04

you release that and however you fix it. It

40:06

doesn't feel like, oh my god. Clearly, this was designed

40:09

to be a live service game and they've gone and done it this

40:11

way. Blah blah blah. I'm just very

40:13

surprised that this is happening. Like,

40:15

I has it ever happened, Greg? And

40:17

maybe there's a lot of examples that I'm just blanking

40:19

on right now, but where it actually was

40:22

the public reception of a

40:24

game showcase causing this type of delay.

40:26

Like, we saw the the outrage of

40:28

the Sonic in the movie, and

40:30

if that got changed, that was a major deal.

40:32

Like, that doesn't happen. This seems

40:36

and again, it's not officially said. It's not

40:38

officially happening, so we don't know. But, like, what

40:40

the reports were yesterday,

40:41

it's, like, that's pretty direct. Chat

40:43

stealing the words from my mouth for a recent example of

40:45

Halo infinite. Remember when that

40:47

dropped it? It was, like, people saw

40:49

that a three demo and they had the fucking and weird

40:51

guy's face, Chad, or whatever the Internet called them.

40:53

I forget, Pete, whatever. Everyone, like, oh,

40:55

they're like, crap. Yeah. They went back

40:57

and did all bunch of stuff with that. Right? Like,

41:00

I feel like it's a weird

41:02

one where I

41:05

don't but it's just it's

41:08

such it's it

41:10

was met with such a, hey, state

41:13

of play is such weird one because it clearly was

41:15

meant to be People don't People

41:17

aren't jazzed about this game. We will use this to

41:19

make them jazzed about it, and then they came out like this

41:21

did not jazz people. And so you you

41:24

know, I've reported on

41:26

and had a lot of conversations with games

41:28

that have failed and not been received

41:30

well. And inevitably, even

41:32

if you preview a game, I feel like when we walk

41:35

away and like talk to a developer or put up your preview

41:37

and they read it, I've gotten the back channel

41:39

thing of like, man, we were telling them this. You know

41:41

what I mean? Like, I feel like that's probably a

41:43

lot of this there too, where the

41:46

people who in rock city seen so much

41:48

turnover. Since they started

41:50

working on suicide

41:51

squad. And since when did Arcomite come out?

41:53

Oh, bear. Twenty fifteen, almost

41:55

eight weeks ago. Fifteen.

41:58

There's been so much change over there that

42:00

not everybody obviously, but

42:02

a lot of the key decision makers on

42:04

making suicide squad what we see today

42:06

probably have left the company and moved on to other

42:08

things. And yet, yet, yet, yet, yet. So you have this whole a team that said

42:11

work model is

42:11

also no longer there. Correct? Right. Well, yeah.

42:13

Like, the leadership in general, I had such

42:15

turnover. But was I I always can fuck this

42:17

up. Was Seth Seth, can you do that for me just make sure?

42:20

Kind of find that conversation on. Because I I

42:22

they they he's he was just

42:24

in the state of play, but they credited

42:26

them. Yeah. It's, like, founder, but

42:28

not as, like, act doesn't matter. People have come and gone

42:30

so much in that thing that you have a whole bunch of people, and I'm

42:32

sure, like, yo. Like, this isn't

42:34

the thing. Go ahead alone. Like, when we started

42:36

this and, like, everybody wanted a fucking

42:39

live service game. That's not where the industry's

42:41

at anymore. Like, I I

42:43

don't know what you can do. And

42:45

this is a question I was talking to blessing about

42:47

on Ingen, obviously. But blessing called me out. I

42:50

know when I was like, it would be

42:52

so crazy if they canceled this game. And

42:54

he's like, could they do it? And I'm like, I never

42:56

say never an industry we've learned a million times.

42:58

Yes. Thank you very much. So, yeah, that is October

43:00

twenty six, twenty twenty two, Game informer, cofounder,

43:03

Stephanie Hale, and Jamie Walker, announced her departure.

43:06

Never seen that ever in our industry. I would always

43:09

I at this point, I think it's such a sunk cost

43:11

that you put the game out and you make whatever money you can

43:13

off of it rather than to walk away from

43:14

it. Yeah. I don't think they're backs to the wall. Like, we

43:16

can't have another bad DC game after the

43:18

gotham nights. I don't think they're treating their

43:20

IP that that way or whatever. But

43:22

not a chance this got canceled. I I think

43:25

that I think that you ever say never. I think that

43:27

that I'm saying never on Like, this game's coming

43:29

out. We've never seen a game

43:31

of, like, being promoted this far into development

43:34

get canceled. Like, this isn't like, Starcraft ghost

43:36

comes to mind. That's not this situation. This

43:38

is like full on this game exists in

43:41

a couple months and it feels like it's getting delayed,

43:43

not because it's not shippable. Not

43:46

saying good. It's just shippable. But because they're

43:48

like, oh, we're we're trying to salvage this somehow.

43:50

Yeah. If they were to do that, I think

43:52

that would be like that it be absolutely

43:55

a a horrible decision

43:58

for them financially. And

43:59

that's and that's my thing. It's more somebody's better

44:01

than no money, and I don't think they have to worry about it and

44:03

blah blah blah. It's just so anyways, that wasn't

44:06

even point I was driving at. This game comes

44:08

out, and think even with the time, I can't

44:10

imagine the boat with the bones

44:12

you have, you make a game that every system

44:14

is like, man, this actually is awesome. I

44:16

think the most you can hope is, like, it's less offensive

44:19

in terms of and again, maybe

44:22

it wasn't offensive to begin with. Who knows?

44:24

But it is every screenshot you've seen

44:26

of a menu, every talk of

44:28

the live service, every always online, even

44:30

if playing single player, like, these are

44:32

all bummer things for most people. And so

44:34

-- Yeah. -- hopefully you limit

44:36

that and you put out a game that people are like, oh, okay.

44:38

It's it's suicide. What I was talking about

44:41

on, you know, piece that I love you

44:43

is that they've said, okay, they're gonna add more characters

44:45

later on or whatever. I was thinking that might

44:47

be a nice thing that if you're pushing the game,

44:49

add some earlier. Like, put like, try to

44:52

shut me up. Right? If people are like, I don't wanna fuck me. This

44:54

is just that Scott. Well, okay. Okay. Well, you

44:56

know, wonder woman isn't

44:57

unlocked. Okay? Or some some hero that I don't

44:59

have to beat. But then again, I I feel like that's

45:01

actually killing the justice league. Yeah. But I

45:03

also feel like that's even a higher hopes than

45:05

what they actually probably have.

45:07

Oh, hundred percent like Oh, I admit that

45:08

it's very high hopes, apparently.

45:09

Yeah. Because it's gonna be characters that make sense

45:11

of holding a gun. Because

45:14

that seems to be That's

45:14

all they could do apparently in this case. Shoot guns.

45:17

Yeah. Yeah. So, like, I had a like,

45:19

it I don't know if it makes sense to run around his

45:21

wonder woman with a

45:22

gun. This

45:23

is Man. Yeah. Gotham City impostures.

45:25

Mario's gonna have gun one day. And so

45:28

I was wondering what happened. Jason, Troy

45:30

tweeted out way back in twenty seventeen or 'eighteen,

45:32

I had a drink with someone who worked on Spider Man,

45:34

and was wondering if it would release in the same time frame

45:36

as Rock City's next

45:37

game. Turns out they should have been wondering about Spider

45:39

Man two. And

45:40

it's like He's one of my two's gonna meet him. No problem.

45:42

Mhmm. But it's and we we've we've

45:44

been talking a lot about a lot of these

45:46

development teams because they've been having

45:48

different new stories for different reasons. But it's pretty

45:51

wild to think about retro studios and metroid

45:53

Prime and with the remaster coming out and

45:55

with four eventually coming with

45:57

everything that's happened there. And then Rocksteady,

46:00

where we're talking about two teams that kind

46:02

of came out of nowhere for their initial release

46:04

and set the industry on fire.

46:07

Like, created new types of games and

46:09

a a new archetype for specifically

46:11

licensed games on the Rocksteady side, but,

46:13

like, what the Octum Games did for that style

46:15

of combat and that type of game. And then

46:18

Metroid Prime, I don't even need to explain. Y'all know what I'm

46:20

talking And for them to now be here,

46:22

where it's like some of the most talented devs in the

46:24

world and this is the situation wherein it's

46:27

it's just goes to show that, like, video games are

46:29

complicated, man. And it it's very sad and

46:32

It's I I hate

46:34

to say this, but I really, really wonder

46:37

if the people working at Rock City on suicide

46:39

squad. How many of them are fucking

46:41

stoked that this is the project they're on?

46:43

And not because people get stoked in,

46:46

like, anything you're working with like, you

46:48

eventually are, like, we're proud of what

46:50

we're doing. I'm sure they're proud of what they're doing. But

46:52

I wonder how many people

46:53

there, like, this is this is what we would want

46:55

to be doing.

46:56

Hundred percent. This

46:57

is why we're we came to work at rocksteady.

47:00

Mhmm.

47:00

Hundred percent. Yeah. It's a great question.

47:02

And we all turned our lonely eyes.

47:04

To the Wonder Woman game for monolith studios. Don't

47:06

let us down everybody. I digress. You know, you don't

47:08

50:31

And we're back everybody. Tim,

50:33

you wanna address the chat? I did.

50:36

Right before the break, I was asking, like, I wonder how

50:38

many people that are working on it actually

50:41

want to be working on suicide squad. And casino

50:43

balla in the chat says, if they said yes, would change

50:45

your mind? And I do think that that's a

50:47

very good question. And I think it's important to point

50:49

out where it's like, I only asked that. And if

50:51

they said, yes, it would change my mind. I don't think that it

50:53

would make me wanna play the game more, but I do think

50:55

that I look at this game and

50:58

I get the vibe that that people there don't

51:00

want to. If this feels like they're trying

51:02

to trick me and trick gamers into

51:04

wanting to play this game so that they can monetize

51:06

it as opposed to believing that people actually

51:08

want this. If I believe that the people making it

51:10

actually wanted it, that really would change the framework

51:12

of that for me where I think that that would be like,

51:14

I believe that there's gonna be fun here that is

51:17

not fund that is purely

51:19

designed to get every

51:21

penny from people. Whereas, like,

51:24

if you make something that's fun that you're like,

51:26

no. No. No. It's gonna be so good. You're gonna want

51:28

to give us money and it's going to be worth the

51:30

the money because we're gonna give you something that

51:32

we believe

51:32

in. That's a totally different story. I just don't

51:35

get that from anything I've seen in the suicide squad

51:37

so far. Fair enough. And

51:39

I agree with

51:39

that. Number four, on the Roper

51:41

report, there was a Capcom spotlight

51:44

from March twenty twenty three yesterday, and

51:46

Logan planted IgA and has everything announced

51:48

as you've probably already heard the biggest news was

51:50

Resideo four. Got a special demo. It's

51:52

available right now. You guys had reported

51:55

on Game Daily earlier, of course, that there's a rumor

51:57

of it happening. It actually is happening.

51:59

Logan writes, this trial version of the game takes place

52:01

at the beginning of the game as Leon first enters

52:03

the iconic European village. There's no timeline

52:06

on the demo, so you can play it as many times as you

52:08

want. You can dial it on PlayStation five, PlayStation

52:10

four, Xbox x, and s, and of

52:12

course, steam. Meanwhile, we're

52:14

at the game spot. Darren writes, this Resideo

52:16

four demo also has its very own exclusive

52:18

difficulty mode. Called

52:21

mad chain saw mode. It makes the game

52:23

substantially more challenging. It isn't for the faint

52:25

of heart. To get it, you'll either need to you'll either

52:27

need luck or patience. As activating this

52:30

difficulty mode comes down to random chance.

52:32

If you are lucky, selecting new game will lead

52:34

you to a screen that offers you mad, chainsaw

52:36

mode for a single playthrough. Alternatively,

52:38

you can keep restarting Resideo and selecting

52:41

to begin with a new game until you see the

52:43

prompt on your screen. There's no set number

52:45

how many restarts you'll need to get RE four

52:47

to challenge you. And if you decide decline

52:49

the invitation to Missouri, you'll have to wait until

52:51

the RNG odds are in your favor

52:53

again. Before you can attempt, a new run

52:55

with this mode

52:56

active. Tim, how hype are you for

52:58

Resideo four week? I am so hype

53:00

that I'm not gonna play this demo, and it's gonna

53:03

be very difficult for me to do that. But we're

53:05

so close to this thing and I can't believe

53:08

that we got dead space metroid Prime

53:10

and now

53:10

this. Like, this is just What

53:13

a time to be alive, Greg. What

53:14

a time? What a time? The greatest games ever

53:17

they're just being made better. I have no reason

53:19

to believe that Ari four is not gonna be the definitive

53:21

Ari four x

53:22

experience. And like that is very

53:24

very very impressive and extremely exciting.

53:26

Very stoked to play that later this month.

53:29

We'll of course be talking about it on a kind of funny games cast

53:31

reviewing it at some point. So write it with questions

53:33

about that when you get the

53:34

chance. Kinda funny dot com slash k f games.

53:36

No games cast. Just games cast.

53:38

Right. No k f. Yeah. Okay. Ekso

53:40

Primal got a release date. It's gonna be July

53:42

fourteenth. Monster Hunter Rise

53:44

got its sun break Sunbreak, expansion

53:47

date for Xbox and PlayStation because that just

53:49

came out earlier this year. April twenty

53:51

eighth for that one over

53:52

there. Go Strick is coming to modern

53:55

platforms on June thirtieth twenty twenty

53:57

three. Mhmm.

53:58

Captain Uh-huh. It's my birthday.

54:01

It's always gotta be about you. It is.

54:04

Ghost trick. It's for me. Capcom

54:06

showed a short teaser for Azeev well, Death Island, the

54:08

new movie coming later this year. Street

54:10

Fighter six is introducing a new commentator. And

54:13

then the Mega Man Battle Network

54:15

legacy collection, which already we already was

54:17

coming April fourteen has four hundred

54:19

and ninety nine patch cars that were previously exclusively

54:22

available in Japan as physical

54:24

collectibles. Now you can get them in the thing and

54:26

do it and play the stuff and have fun with them that way.

54:30

All of it's nice, but it's Resevolve. That's what it's

54:32

all about. Mhmm. Alright.

54:34

Tell me something. Let's talk about

54:36

Scoranix. Alright?

54:37

Let's do that, Greg. Scoranix had a big old financial

54:39

briefing. Alright? Which I misunderstood when I counted

54:42

this earlier as number five on the Roper report.

54:44

So then number six on a report is

54:46

for spoken sales were lackluster. This is

54:48

Anthony Wood at IGM. Square Enix

54:50

has conceded that sales of its reaction

54:52

World Fighting Game Force Spoken fell below

54:55

its expectations following the title January

54:57

twenty third release on PlayStation five and

54:59

PC earlier this year. Quote, reviews

55:01

of ForceSpoken, which we released on January

55:03

twenty four, twenty twenty three, have been challenging,

55:06

said Square NXT's president and representative

55:08

representative director Yoskay

55:10

Masuda, Matuda, and a February

55:12

financial results briefing detailing the fortunes of

55:15

the past year. However, the game has

55:17

also received positive feedback on its features,

55:19

including its parkour and combat capabilities.

55:22

So it has yielded results that will lead to

55:24

improvement of our development capabilities of

55:26

other games in the future. Despite

55:28

this positive note, he admitted that sales

55:30

of the game had been lackluster and

55:32

that there was considerable downside risk

55:35

to our twenty our fiscal year twenty twenty

55:37

three slash twenty twenty three earnings. The

55:39

concession follows an announcement from earlier this

55:41

month that for Spoken developer Illumina's productions

55:44

founded in twenty eighteen would be folded

55:46

back into square an x effective on May first.

55:49

Luminous productions co limited is meanwhile

55:51

equipped not only triple a title development

55:53

capabilities, but also technical expertise

55:56

in areas such as game engine development

55:58

since graphics following the announcement. Combining

56:00

the two n c's will further enhance the group's ability

56:02

to develop HD games, end quote,

56:05

prior to the reabsorbing the developer announced that

56:07

it would use its remaining time working

56:09

on a patch to improve the game's overall performance

56:11

and developing DLC in Tanto

56:13

We

56:14

Trust, which is, quote, on track to release

56:16

this summer. Four spoken fans. So get stoked

56:18

for that.

56:18

Get stoked everybody. Got it. No surprise

56:21

there. No no no no no worse. Greg Miller fucking

56:23

told you. Don't worry about it. And then bad to worse, the final story

56:25

of the day. Number seven, squared x is

56:27

still blocked, chaining it up everybody. Don't

56:29

worry. They're not afraid of this. Steven

56:32

Toppella, tweeted, of course, Eastern Axios does

56:34

a bunch of great work. I tweeted where a

56:36

CEO asked if it's upcoming slate of games

56:38

this year, Final Fantasy sixteen among

56:40

them is perhaps too good because how

56:42

they how are they going to grow year the year

56:45

after that? Other relentless pressure for

56:47

publicly traded companies to grow. And what

56:49

it is, is a Q and A with Yoskei

56:51

Matsuda, the president and representative director

56:53

we just talked about the queue goes like

56:55

this. Well, I think it's fair to expect growth

56:57

in fiscal year twenty twenty four, twenty twenty three,

57:00

in part because you plan to release multiple major

57:02

titles. I also fear that this will create

57:04

a year over year hurdle. You will be unable

57:06

to surmount in fiscal year twenty twenty five slash

57:08

twenty twenty three. Oh, maybe

57:10

that's q, maybe that's quarters. So

57:12

fiscal year twenty twenty four, three, fiscal

57:15

year twenty twenty five, three. So that must be quarters.

57:17

What kind of initiatives do you have in mind ensure

57:19

sustainable growth? The

57:21

president and representative director says, major

57:24

title launches will not be concentrated

57:26

solely in fiscal year twenty twenty four

57:28

slash three. We have organized our pipeline

57:30

so that we so that we will have a

57:33

good spread of new release in fiscal year twenty

57:35

twenty five slash three and beyond as well.

57:37

We also hope that we that you will

57:39

look forward to the blockchain games we

57:41

plan to launch in fiscal year twenty twenty

57:44

four slash three

57:45

and thereafter. Howard Bauchner: So

57:48

obviously, this is a financial report,

57:50

the conversation people trying to make money. You

57:52

gotta say things that make the shareholders happy,

57:55

and that last sentence there is doing just

57:57

that. We'll also make it all the gamers

57:59

very sad and very upset we

58:01

don't need to go into it too much longer. We all fucking

58:03

get it. We don't believe in this. We think it's gonna be bad

58:05

just like we just talked about suicide squad.

58:07

There's no help here. This doesn't sound like anybody

58:09

believes in this. Off from a creative point of view,

58:11

it's all about money, money, money, money, and it fucking

58:13

sucks. Having said all of that, there's

58:15

a lot to look forward to from Square. And

58:18

there the year that they are Planning

58:20

on having and hearing this to me is such

58:22

good news that they believe in fallen

58:24

Passy sixteen hitting on the date that they put

58:26

out. What's that mean for thalman c

58:28

seven rebirth? think that this points to

58:31

confidence that it is going to hit in that winter

58:34

area that they're talking about whether that's late

58:36

this year or more likely early next

58:38

year. This is the first time I've

58:40

actually really believed that we're getting rebirth

58:43

before fiscal

58:45

year starts over probably in April

58:48

next year, which I think it's

58:50

well, let's stay tuned for that because that definitely

58:52

would be a strategy of even if they put out the

58:54

first week of April, then all of a sudden they

58:56

they're able to count that money differently for

58:58

the success of that game. Will undeniably

59:01

be financially. And on top

59:03

of that, we know that they have a bunch of other projects.

59:05

This is a square that is leaner because

59:07

it doesn't have crystal anymore. It doesn't have

59:09

iDose. It doesn't have the western

59:12

side of things. So it is just more back to

59:14

the traditional square, Phoenix things. No one enters.

59:16

But it does have Octopath Traveler two.

59:19

All of those type of games. It has the

59:21

Final Messy Pixel remasters. It has

59:24

does like for spoken, but it also

59:26

has what looks to be major successes on the way

59:28

with final MNC sixteen. And otherwise,

59:30

it has a maintained revenue

59:33

source with creative to back it

59:35

up with Final Fantasy fourteen online.

59:38

And we know that Kingdom Hearts

59:40

four is coming. What do we not know about that's

59:42

coming down the line? Like, the surprises like

59:44

stranger paradise and things like that, I

59:46

I think Square is in a very interesting place right now.

59:48

And I I think that they're they've been on a a role

59:50

for the last couple years and not

59:53

a role without major misses. Of course, a

59:55

lot. I don't like, if there's major

59:57

misses, I'm okay with it when there's also major

1:00:00

hits. And they've had major hits and looks like

1:00:02

they're gonna continue to do that. For

1:00:04

the next year or two at the very least. And

1:00:06

I'm really excited about that. Could not be

1:00:09

less excited and, like, honestly, anti

1:00:11

excited about this blockchain stuff they're talking

1:00:13

about. But It is what it is. I mean,

1:00:15

you nailed it, Tim. I can't wait to see what Square has

1:00:17

up their sleeves.

1:00:18

But the blockchain is so far away. If

1:00:20

I wanted something more immediate, say what came

1:00:22

to the mom and girls shops? Where would I

1:00:23

go? The official list of upcoming software

1:03:10

in Mario world That's more of a dark

1:03:12

silver.

1:03:14

So it's like the silver. It's less of a blue dress or silver

1:03:16

dress. Less of a blue but more of a dark silver.
