That has to have already gone through once, right? Probably. Yeah. I don't know how much you love The Pathless. You were always talking about The Pathless.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
That's when I said, go play Solar Ash Blessing. I did play Solar Ash, and I didn't like it as much as The Pathless.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
We have a new gambit. People get excited. It's all you need. I forget who I was listening to, and they were talking about this, and...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Someone's perspective, I apologize for this take, but I find it interesting, is that Overwatch, with, like, how obsessed they were with, like, balancing and introducing new characters, felt like it was trying to appease to, like, the pro, like, esports side of it too much to the point that, like, it just, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
general interest started to wane over time whereas like this game is popular with just like general audiences lean into that and the way to lean into that is to not give a fuck about the meta and not give a fuck about balancing fucking throw an exciting character in and figure it out later you know
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Bless. In terms of gameplay feel, I get what you're saying. I understand. But we've been playing these same tracks for the last 11 years. And they gave you so much DLC. Is that not good enough? Half of those tracks were from the fucking mobile game, which were fine, but I want to see Nintendo's new vision. No, I was about to say, fuck New York. I don't want that heat. Don't come for me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I want to see a full new Nintendo vision. And the little teases that we actually got of new courses, because a lot of the DLC courses were old tracks. They were the older remade tracks, and then the other half were fucking mobile game tracks and shit. And those were fine. Those were whatever. But we only got a handful of new tracks, like the Yoshi's Island one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
And that just made me want it more of the new, new. I'm with Barrett. I mean, absolutely.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
At least we're not going to, hopefully, fingers crossed, at least we're not going to have to deal with the chip shortage again with the PS5 and Xbox Series X. I had to buy my Switch through the homie Alexio because he just pre-ordered two and it was impossible for me to find one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
You mean the best library a video game console has ever had? You're not allowed to use the games that are reported from the Wii U.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
No. Yes, and we'll get it in 10 years, and it'll be Rock City. That's a good point. Yeah. They'll eventually get there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
You're not wrong. The first big step was when you saw it in Into the Spider-Verse. You're like, oh shit, they're making a mark. They're making a mark. I think that's very cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Just let me stay on the edge. Think about that. That game is so fun because they left the shark be unbalanced, you know? I mean, you're right. They let you edge. And spit me out. And now I'm off the edge.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Kill the Justice League. So we're also going to spoil a little bit of like what happens in the base game. So, yeah, who fucking cares? At one point in the base game, right? You kill Batman and everybody was up in arms about like, oh, my God, they killed Batman in such like a fucking brutal way. This is crazy. All this stuff. This is Kevin Conroy's last performance ever. What the fuck?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
And the ending of this, it turns out that you had actually killed a clone or, like, a different alternate universe Batman. And the Batman in the Rocksteady universe is actually still alive. And we never actually killed him. The biggest walk back in history of just, like, if you're going to do something weird and stupid, fucking commit to it. And, like, even just the introduction scene.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Really quick, because I see a lot of people just saying like, yeah, it's weird that they're not like marketing like a stream for this yet. Or is there going to be a direct with this? Let's take it back. To what, 2016, right? It was the day before. It was October 2016. It was my first week working at IGN. They put out that tweet of Mario peeking behind the curtain.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
After the base game came out of, like, the seasons of, like, oh, yeah, the seasons are going to be about all these different universes. Like, all right, well, nothing fucking matters then. Who gives a shit? Fuck! Again, this is an episode of Hot Takes, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Let either Camouflage or WB Montreal get back to their era of the Batman Arkhamverse. Young Batman. Because there's still so much you can do with there. Like, the Rock City era of the Batman universe. Just fucking let it go. And do something else.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
No, I'm fucking done. I'm done, man. You can make another Arkham game. You can continue the legacy. Anything post-Arkham Knight, I don't give a shit anymore. I don't. Do something else. Do Batman Beyond in a different universe. I don't give a fuck.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I'm excited for him to thrive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
They're just like, tune in tomorrow. It was not a direct. It was not a full breakdown. It was just a three and a half minute trailer. just showing you the concept of what the Switch was.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I see more of the argument for Smash, and that's only because the literal, like, level design, what most people play, is, like, the basic, like, level or whatever. At least, like, in our group, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Are people playing Smash for the levels, or are they playing Smash to... I play Smash for it all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
But that's what's exciting, is, like... What have they thought of next? One thing that we can't even fucking imagine right now, Blessing. Driving on water. Well, I think we've got that technically, too. But three people driving a car all at the same time. Triple dash.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Yep. And so I think this is the level of what we get for the initial thing. So I just don't want people thinking like, oh, they're doing a whole direct, they're doing a whole stream around this. It's going to be just a commercial that they drop on their YouTube when they're ready.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
And it also depends on when the tariffs are implemented. I don't think it's an if. It's a when situation. When the switch comes out, all that stuff. But yes, inevitably, not just your gaming stuff is going to cost significantly more.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
And I don't think just because it's getting a collab... with magic is an indicator of like it being like this cultural phenomenon because not to talk shit but like ghostbusters also got a collab with magic and like is ghostbusters the biggest thing on the planet no
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Yo, that mountain is just straight up crazy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Also, those starters, so fucking cute and adorable.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
But there was still a style to it that you could still see the vision. And while, like, yeah, it wasn't the most high-res looking thing, it was like, okay, there's still a vibe here, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Wow. I'm not giving up hope. Wow. Love that for you. Give up hope, Tim. I'm not. Just give it up. I'm not. Just give it up. My last prediction, Bless, we do in fact see, as much as we're seeing here with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart 9. Wow. And that draft from you, you're going to be very happy about. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
We had tortellini at some point last week, Tim.

What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I'm still going to keep the headline as Nick Scarpino plays kind of funniest game of the year, but then just add 2025. I like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I think we get both. Yeah. Your pick for Mario Kart and then your counter pick of 3D Mario is just going to like.

They're going to cancel each other out.

What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I don't know if Andy is on it and we'll see if Nick is actually in the mood for kind of when he's game of the year or if he just plays more of that movie trivia game.

A baker's dozen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I don't know. It feels like juggling around shit just to delay the inevitable, which I feel like, I don't know. It's very weird. I don't know. I wonder about the ego of the Gamal family and them just trying to hold on to corporate power as much as possible and as long as possible. And this just feels like we want to have some sort of stake in not one but now kind of two companies.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And I don't know. I just –
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I don't know. Chap brought it up as well. This thought sparked in my mind. It just feels like the Embracer thing. They're like, ah, we're... We're three different companies. One company is Lord of the Rings and Friends, and the other company is Dungeons and Dragons and Friends, or whatever the fuck it was, right?

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Today's stories include Xbox's Summer Showcase is getting a big Outer Worlds 2 breakdown, Razer pauses their laptop sales in the US, and some nice new PlayStation features. We'll have all this and more because this is Kinda Funny Games Daily. Hello gamers, welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Wednesday, April 9th, 2025. I am Andres Cortes, and I'm joined by Roger Pocorni.

No Omni movie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
No Soap McTavish. Fuck. He might be back. You can also only have so many... FIFA and Madden moments at, you know, at E3's, at EA's E3 presentation, you know what I mean? But at a certain point, Call of Duty doesn't need to be dove in deep into. Sure, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
But I think that this can possibly put Outer Worlds on a much larger stage, obviously, with a lot more eyes on it to get people understanding these dudes really, really have an incredible portfolio. Outer Worlds 1 largely slept on by the masses, right? It's still a very popular game, obviously. I'm not trying to downplay it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
It's well-known within if you're watching game talk shows or game podcasts. Yeah. But... It's not that title. It doesn't have that sort of prestige. Let's give it that prestige. We put out Avowed earlier this year. We had a good amount of success there. Obviously not as much as I think that they would have hoped. I'm not sure where numbers are with Avowed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
But for me, the way that I experience Avowed, going back to playing Outer Worlds and kind of playing them simultaneously, personally, I was just like, wow, I... I kind of wish this was just Outer Worlds. I wish I was playing Outer Worlds 2 right now because I didn't really vibe necessarily with the characters or a whole lot of the writing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
And then I think it gets really pumped up and pushed into another level of quality later on that I really enjoyed and felt more of those... sarcastic tonal shifts that the outer world is known to give you, right? The outer world is very much, you know, it's, it's a very, um, it's a parody on, not necessarily even a parody, but let's make fun of capitalistic corporate corporations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
A lot of satire reminds me a lot of like GTA and how, you know, everybody's just living a shitty life, but there's a lot of heart there in, in great moments. And, um, and I think, I think I am looking forward to this way more than to Avowed. How much Avowed did you play?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I think part of me wonders... Are you just trying to get more of the Game Pass audience on it? Are you trying to get more people onto Game Pass to show them, look at this really high-quality RPG with great character interactions, decision-making. You are sort of role-playing your character in this world. And by the way, it's also on Game Pass.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I think what Outer Worlds 2, this whole situation with it being after the Showcase, I think you brought up a lot of great earlier points of what are we going to see with E-Day? What are we going to see with Fable? Perfect Dark.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
That's my final guess right there. First off, Fruity Pebbles, way off. Wow. I would never fuck with a Fruity Pebble. I wouldn't be caught in the same room as a Fruity Pebble.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Ninja Gaiden 4. Ninja Gaiden 4, sorry, yeah, you're right, sorry. I was thinking Ragebound, the science book. But immediately I wonder, wow, are we really that far off from Perfect Dark and Fable?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
It just really sort of makes me worry more about those. But then on the flip side, I go, Andy, don't worry. It's because Outer Worlds 2 is coming out very, very soon, and they want to really, really focus and push this. This is the moment to push right here for Outer Worlds 2. This is the marketing moment.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I don't think I disagree with that. I'm a perfect dark tech. But just one quick thing I want to point out on Avowed or on Outer Worlds 2. It looks awesome visually. Yeah. That was always one of my problems with Outer Worlds 1. When I was replaying it earlier this year, I installed so many damn mods. Oh!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Now here's the thing, Cocoa Pebbles. Oh, okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Visual stuff, and it looks really, really damn good, but it makes me really happy to see how much of an improvement the engine has gone through, how much of an improvement just art direction and lighting, because I think Outer Worlds 1 was pretty... Pretty unattractive to look at. I never felt like, oh, wow, look at the visuals here. It just always felt... A lot of muddiness.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
It was really punched up also in spots. It felt like interior lighting was very lacking in a lot of spots. And even in these slower sort of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
sneak through moments where we see the character talking to npcs i think they're doing a great job with interiors and with uh just the way the lighting is working overall so super stoked about that that makes me happy because again i love the writing of outer worlds i love the tone i kind of love existing in that world and if it's going to look better i'm in let's do it yeah this is what i want out of my rpgs super exciting story number two
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Love Cocoa Pebbles. Love them. Are you a chocolatey guy? Um, you know, that's a great that's a great point. And that's a great observation by you. I'm not necessarily a chocolatey dude. But the thing about pebbles, you got to eat them way faster. And they get soggy really, really quickly. So it's like I love cocoa pebbles, but only under the correct circumstances. Honey Nut Cheerios.

Razer pauses direct laptop sales in the U.S. as new tariffs loom. Antonio, this comes from Antonio G. DiBenetto at The Verge. Razer's upcoming Blade 16 and other laptops are no longer available for pre-order or purchase on its U.S. site.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
The configurator for pre-ordering its new Blade 16 laptop was available as recently as April 1st, according to the Internet Archive, one day before the Trump administration announced sweeping U.F. tariffs on China, Taiwan and others that make laptop components.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
When asked recently if tariffs might affect razor prices or availability, its public relations manager, Andy Johnson, told The Verge, we do not have a comment at this stage regarding tariffs. Razer may not be openly talking about the impact of tariffs. Close quote, by the way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Razer may not be openly talking about the impact of tariffs, but Framework halted sales of its entry-level laptop 13 in the U.S. on April 7th, and Micron reportedly confirmed surcharges for its memory chips will apply once the tariffs take effect after midnight tonight.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
The direct link to the Blade 16 configurator now takes you to a 404 error page, and its product page only now has a notify me button instead of anywhere to submit your preorder. Thank you for watching. It's a similar story for Razor's site in other countries as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
We've contacted Razor for further comment on tariffs and asked for confirmation that it has paused sales, but it did not respond by the time of publication. This is going to continue to happen. We're going to keep on reading stories like this. This is probably the 12th time we've read a story like this. There'll be many, many more in the future.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I was making a comment earlier to Roger that it's just... It's going to remind me of Microsoft trying to buy Blizzard and Battle... What a nightmare saga that was for boring news coverage. And this is going to continue, but we fucking own the libs, man. We're winning. Shit, we're fucking winning so hard, bro.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I do.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I returned it because I was waiting for a better one. Now you can't get one. And I legitimately was going to buy a better one. And this Framework 13... the press releases that were coming out on it before it came out was sort of a, Hey, get a higher end laptop. That's very affordable for students out there. Awesome color configurations. Really, really neat concept.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
You're not going to spend $2,000 on a laptop for your students. This is something that your young children of students will... Children of students? That doesn't make any sense, Roger.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Very affordable, entry-level laptop. And yeah, it sucks for a very small company.

I really love. I eat them without milk. I like doing a handful. Honey Bunches of Oats. Great call.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah. We'll see what the next companies will be. I was already kind of bummed out because every time I see the new Priuses, Roger, I fantasize about getting a new Prius. Oh, shit. Not a new one. I've never had one. That means I can sell you my Honda Civic. Fuck yeah, dude. It's only got 23,000 miles on it, Roger.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I'm thinking like $33,000. Shit, man. Okay. I'm being terrified. But every time I look at one of these cars, I'm like, God damn, they're going to, you know, car prices are already going to, they're already not great and they're going to just keep, continue to get worse, which is quite a bummer. What Prius were you looking at? Huh? What Prius were you looking at? The brand new Prius.

Bowser told CBC, as we look at Nintendo Switch 2 and you think about the feature sets that I talked about, we believe that the pricing is appropriate for the value of the machine and the gameplay experience overall. We recognize there are some people that may not be able to afford the Switch 2's price point. That's why we wanted to make the other Switch platforms available. Oh.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I can't... Just when you think sci-fi's been there, done that, even a game like Metal Eden feels fairly derivative, but it's got some new ideas visually. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
marathon i don't think there's been anything again a bungee just kills it with their art direction and their art style and just aesthetics uh you know and maybe it's just hey instead of neon green or instead of neon pink replaced with neon green sure there's still something about the the visuals and the look of what they're going for that just feels like the freshest shit you've ever seen yeah i'm so pumped up dude that little moment of just like the first person i'm like fuck if that game looks like that holy shit

What year is it? I was like, damn. I haven't a long time ago, too. A notice on the studio website confirmed the news and explained the molasses blood as he's operating as a separate legal entity. Doug Bowser says, we want to let you know on April 1st, 2025, you can't be merging companies on April 1st, bro.

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
that's gotta be a rule you can't do that you gotta wait for the second everyone's gotta take a day off you can't do that on the first man we won't let you know that on april 1st 2025 the molasses flood tmf uh merged with cd project red uh a company being part of the cd project group that's probably why they saved to like announce it till later because they didn't actually announce it on the first you know but imagine the people getting the new the news on the first like the employees probably knew
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
That sucks. Probably not. The Molasses Flood was purchased by CD Projekt in 2021 for an undisclosed fee and tasked with creating a multiplayer title set in the Witcher universe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Work on the game, codenamed Project Sirius, appears to have stalled in recent years with CD Projekt laying off around 29 developers at the Molasses Flood in May 2024 after deciding it needed to build a new framework for the spinoff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
During a recent earnings call, CD Projekt said that the decision to absorb the molasses flood into its wider studio structure will ensure even better alignment in the scope and direction of Project Sirius, but will result in, quote, some changes in the project leadership, end quote.

It's unclear whether those leadership changes are referring to voluntary departures or layoffs, but we do know that the Molasses Flood co-founder, Damian Isla, has chosen to leave the company. In a post on LinkedIn, Isla described the merger as the end of an era, end quote, but suggested it would be good and healthy for the Molasses Flood team in the long term.

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I would have loved to seen what the heck they were working on. I know they said the project stalled and has been pretty much defunct for a while, but I think it's such an interesting story coming from the Molasses Flood because of their past work and their catalog and having games that look nothing like a CD Projekt game. What the heck would a Witcher game have looked like in that universe?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
What were they capable of? It sucks. It reminds me of freaking Valve buying the In the Valley of the Gods developer. Yeah. Blanking on the name of the developer. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, people that made Firewatch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
It's another one of those situations where the parent company says, we're going to have you work on this, and then maybe... You know, I also wouldn't doubt that whatever this project they're working on isn't just... It wasn't working out. It could have just been up top leadership going, games as a service is just not where we need to be. Look at the industry. Look at the way things are moving.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
That is such a money pit to continue to pour funds into. When a game comes out and then seven months in, you hear, oh, player count is only this. People are angry because of balance. And then the game just sort of starts to fumble and flop. But yeah, interesting story. Sad for the flame in the flood.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
And I... Sad that they won't continue to see their vision, but I gotta assume they're just going to continue to work on other things under that umbrella and canceling this project, which, man, I cannot imagine... Well, it doesn't say it was canceled necessarily, right?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Metal Eden, it's essentially just a super futuristic Doom-looking game. A lot of people in chat were like, Andy, what's the hook of it? I was like, look, it's just a straight-up campaign. You're not rogueliking, rogueliting. Somebody in chat was like, wait, so you're telling me this isn't a deck-builder roguelite multiplayer? No, it's just a campaign futuristic first-person shooter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
You played soccer? Yeah, I did. Recently.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Feels a lot like Doom. It looks like as soon as the key art popped up, I went on a little spiel and I was like, man, I love when a game developer can retain a look, right? When employment means that people get to stick around and people aren't jumping ship all the time and you get to form an identity because Raycon, uh, the people that we're watching right here, not the, not the, not Ray J's, um,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Earphones, yeah. Earbud company. Raycon is R-E-I-K-O-N. And they developed Ruiner many, many years ago. Ruiner came out in 2016, 2017, I believe. Really awesome game. Top-down, sort of shoot-em-up with one of the best aesthetics in gaming you've ever seen. It's such a great vibe. And I was like, wow, this is really, really cool. The key art popped up and I said, look at that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Fiance broke her ankle. It's done. It's done. I have a... I was going to say a friend of mine. I haven't talked to him in about like 25 years. But shout out Rogelio, who was born on the same birthday as me. Oh! It was always February 16th. Me and Rogelio. Yeah. Wow, that's beautiful.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
That's so recognizable because I played Ruiner. And immediately I'm like, look at this company's, this studio's identity. And then people in chat told me, actually last year they laid off 80% of their workforce.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
that is and that they finished i think the last year of development on this game they had i don't know something like 15 people working there so something very very small uh those numbers are all kind of arbitrary because they're a bunch of different articles had different numbers up it was 70 people laid off 60 people laid off 80 people laid off i don't really know but uh that kind of stinks but when we saw this thing previewed at the playstation showcase i was like oh wow this looks gorgeous it's pretty damn good
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
That game looks sick. Metal Eden demo is out available. It's available everywhere. You ever released it? Played it on Steam. I think it's May 7th. And immediately people in chat were like, oh, cool. Demo's out now. And they were coming back 20 minutes later going, runs like shit on console. So I don't know how the console performance necessarily is. Apparently it's not super great. Ran great on PC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
And you have a really good machine. Is it a good tender? I don't know yet. It's fun enough. Is there any difference? Is there any hook here? The hook of it is you are first person shooting and smaller enemies, you can yank their core out. And everybody knows I love yanking cores. It's re-core all over again. Except here, the yanking of the core, not as satisfying as I would have hoped.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
There's a cool thing about re-core where you are kind of shooting the enemies and then you have to... It takes a while. There's like a push and a pull to yank that core out. Here you are... The core is kind of like your main means of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
And then I saw him pop up on MySpace 10 years later, or on Facebook 10 years later, and it was like, Roger, I was like... Who the fuck is Roger? Oh, we never called you Roger, bro. Oh, interesting. Oh, interesting. Very, very interesting. This is kind of funny, Games Daily. Each and every weekday, we run you through the nerdy news you need to know about. No fucking around.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
shaping a Doom-like gameplay loop where if you take the core out and you absorb it, it gives you health and it makes you powered up to where if you can melee one of the larger enemies that are shielded, their armor breaks off and then they are way weaker. So it'll make your melee stronger and it'll heal you or you could toss it at enemies and it delivers... You can level this up as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
The explosion will... Kind of have like a little AOE explosion effect. If a lot of enemies are around, they will all get affected. But then when they die, they will also drop ammo. And so you're kind of in that push and pull mechanic of, I need health, but I also maybe need ammo. I love that. Whatever the hell. It's kind of a cool thing. It's just the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
The core feeling of yanking the core, it doesn't feel... It doesn't feel, like, heavy or, like, is that what you want?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Now, the... We all hate a loose core, Roger. But the... I mean, the sound design of this main pistol that you have, and you have an AR and a shot, they all felt really, really damn good. Controlling on keyboard and mouse, weird. It... I had the sensitivity down to like 15, and I was like, let me drop it down a little bit further. I was like, let me keep on going. I got down all the way to zero.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I was like, it just feels like there's a weird mouse acceleration. It said smoothing was off, but I don't believe it. I don't know. It didn't feel...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
perfect you know but i think it's you know for a demo for something that's out in a month where they can maybe iron out all those issues it's something i'm looking forward to and i've got to assume it's going to be a pretty short game you know what i mean uh but today we're brought to you by better help roger we'll tell you all about that later it's jazz here baby for now let's begin what is and forever will be the rope rapport

But feels kind of like... 11 minutes, a whole direct here.

Getting a lot of info, Rog.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Part of me wonders if they are just trying to set a formula for what these things will be. Hey, we'll have our big showcase, and afterwards, we'll give you a super deep dive on an upcoming big first-party title. And part of me wonders... Are they up there in these offices going, should we put Outer Worlds 2 on this stage?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I mean, it's obviously more time, more advertising, but Starfield is the next big RPG from Bethesda. Call of Duty 6, that is massive. Or Black Ops 6, right? That is huge. I wonder if they were like... We have something here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Might as well showcase it to kind of keep the formula going and get people excited about what I think is going to be a really, really awesome RPG, especially after playing Outer Worlds 1 and replaying that recently this year. Not fully beating it, but still being like, wow, I really messed up in not giving this game all of my time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I am sort of surprised, like you are, by the stage that it's being put on. I think... for a smaller sort of RPG that is not trying to be Starfield. It's not trying to be No Man's Sky. It's always going to be a more insular, sort of closed-off experience with open zones, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
But I think it's pretty massive for someone like Obsidian to continue to get love because they are the ones that are continuously putting out great products.

Yeah, there's a video proof now, Bernie. You have to be careful. You can't just be putting out stuff like that. Chat, let us know what you think about the return of Rooster Teeth in your super chats as we go along with the show. And yeah, I think a lot of people in the chat have a lot of honest sort of thoughts being like, I hope this isn't another G4.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I hope this isn't another return of something that we loved that just doesn't quite find the voice and is gone pretty quickly. I don't think it's going to be that. Because I don't think they're... In my mind, I don't think Bernie is shooting for anything too crazy in terms of budget and production. I think it's going to be all pretty...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
manageable in terms of the amount of people working, the amount of content being put out there. I think, again, like I mentioned earlier, you can't have Rooster Teeth without the faces that you love and recognize. So to have them back all in a room again talking, I think is going to be really neat to see, especially since a lot of them are still Austin-based.

Yeah, RVB Jeep says, G4 tried to return where they left off. Super true. It's hard to come back with this sort of idea in mind that you're going to take over the world. like G4 thought that they did back in the day, and having massive production with a lot of different staff and a lot of people that you have to kind of keep employed, that can be pretty unwieldy at times.

Nintendo has said it will use Nintendo Direct to share a closer look at Switch 2 following its drive-by reveal of the console last month. The reveal offered a look at the Switch 2 form factor, a glimpse at what looks like Mario Kart 9, and tease a potential mouse mode for the new Joy-Con.

Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
But there will still be a number of unanswered questions about Switch 2, including what the mysterious new Joy-Con button does, how powerful the console will be, and what its new ports might be used for.

I think what we need a pizza bet on right now, Mike. Tell me. Because either way, we get pizza. Whoever wins. What's the time of this video? What's the duration? It starts at 6 a.m. Nintendo Direct.

I think since this is going to be mainly just hardware and... I don't foresee the way we've had in the past where it's like, and here's a deep dive into this video game. I think we're going to get, here's how the hardware looks. Here's what it's going to do. Here's what it's capable of. show off a couple of games, but I don't know if we're going to get big reveal of video game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I think we will see small sort of looks at like different stuff that is down the pipeline. Okay. But I don't know for when I say big reveal. I guess I mean, I don't think we're going to get a 10 minute deep dive into a video game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's going to be God dang, you know, Jessica's on a roof playing the switch. Yes. She goes into her apartment.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
And they're doing the mouse mode and all that stuff. They're showing you what this thing can still do and why it still needs to be in your household, but why it's of hardware that you should be wanting to be able to play these newer video games at higher resolution with hopefully this wireless display.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
well I think that's why maybe it's 30 might be it but we also said what if it's a little bit smaller what if it is I guess yeah I'm thinking most I think yeah I guess I'm thinking like most of those are have at least you know 5 to 10 games being shown in those directs yeah but there's so much hype behind this one you know what I mean I think don't you think it would be a little disappointing if they're like hey this is like a 15 minute 20 minute thing like I feel like they have to go deep dive at least on some of these games
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
That's true. That's an even better point, Raj. I hadn't even considered that. Because I was going to put this at 17 minutes. You were going to go under 20? Yeah, I was going to go under 20.

Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
But we both get pizza. We both get pizza. I mean, yeah, I just like I. When I think about. this thing being revealed on April 2nd, and you think that they're going to give it a month between, you're giving it a month of time in between April 2nd and May 2nd. Like that's where you're assuming, Raj, that you think it would come out?

Y'all are getting me more and more excited about this. There's a lot. There's a lot to show. So in my mind, the way I'm looking at it, the way I was looking at it earlier, prior to having my eyes being... My eyes, I need to open. That's from Bloodborne, Mike. You'll play that one day. Um... Especially with Bloodborne Demake got fucking DMCA'd as well.

I just don't know what sort of titles we'll be seeing apart from Mario Kart 9.

Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Metroid definitely makes sense. I guess in my mind, the way I was... I wake up out of bed this morning, it's fucking freezing in my room, and I'm like, oh my god, turn on my heat a little bit more. And I go... Nintendo Direct Video, when this drops, will be 17 minutes of the hardware. And then maybe two months down the line or a month and a half down the line, we get the game blowout.

But all I know is that I love Panda Musk's art. Panda Musk has been doing stuff for Kind of Funny since before I even joined. Since the inception. Since the beyond days at IGN. Panda Musk is the absolute homie. And nobody knows what they look like.

Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I think there will be a third-party sizzle reel, but I think a game like either Call of Duty or Elden Ring will have... a larger presence. Okay. In terms of just like, you're not just seeing it in a highlight of here's this and this, and you know, here's all these, here's all these things, you know, that you should expect on a modern piece of hardware.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I think a game like Elden Ring or something like that could get a larger showcase.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Dude, absolutely. I mean, the fact that, like, Forza seems completely possible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Why not? Why wouldn't Forza be there if it just got announced for PlayStation, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I don't know, man. I mean, like... With whatever tech they have in there, with the upscaling they can do, they can hit 60 at a lower visual quality.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I think so, man. I think it's completely feasible for a PS4 Pro, which is like this thing is still, even though they classify it as like on the levels of PS4 Pro, it's still more modern and newer. So it's like PS4 Pro 0.5 ish. Plus this sort of, you know, up-resing tech, whatever. I don't know if they're actually going with DLSS as a term. I don't know if that's their thing.

Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Like, I mean, this is, you know, after using my Wii U emulator, in quotes, when I was playing Breath of the Wild and 60 frames per second. Yeah, yeah. And just, like, these games are so beautiful, and their art style carries. It just hard carries.

Okay, because the way he kind of phrased it to me yesterday on stream was, I was hoping that Mike was going to tell me, like, you know, I'm eating... you know, here's the healthy stuff that I'm going into. But then Nick just said, he's basically just texting me like the unhealthy stuff that he's eating. And like, what am I going to do about it?

Yeah, actually, I had somebody in my chat return in my Twitch chat that I hadn't seen their name in a while, and they said, Andy, I don't know if you remember me, but... But you took a photo of me several hours after I told you that I had just been mugged in London. I was like, I remember that. Wow. I remember you being like, I just got mugged, man. I just got mugged, man.

Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I just got fucking mugged. That's how he said it. Amazing. Thank you for the super chat, everybody. Let's get to story number three right here. Story number three. Apex Legends sequel. A possibility as EA CEO changes stance on live shooter, live service shooters future. This comes from Ed Nightingale at Eurogamer. A live shooter very different from a live service shooter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Want to make that differentiation? EA is working on, quote, a bigger, more meaningful update to its live service shooter, Apex Legends, suggesting some form of sequel will be on the way. During the company's latest earnings call, CEO Andrew Wilson responded to a question about the future of Apex, calling the game, quote, one of the great new launches in our industry over the last decade.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
However... He admitted the game has, quote, not been headed in the direction we have wanted to for some time, before acknowledging the development team is working towards, quote, a meaningful update. This update, though, will not arrive on top of a Battlefield launch, the company's other major shooter, which is expected to release before April 2026.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
quote we do believe that there should be a more major update that will probably happen after a battlefield launch just in terms of timing and the team is diligently working through what that would be said wilson and then longer term our expectation is that we'll continue to expand what this franchise is and how we support a core community of highly competitive players and new communities that want to come and experience all the greatness that apex has to offer
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
The company's aim is for Apex to be a franchise that lasts for decades, and for that, an even bigger, more meaningful update would be required. Quote, an Apex 2.0, if you will. End quote. In the short term, though, the company's focus on supporting the games community with strong anti-cheat and new content.

I know what long bread is. There's a long bread.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Quote, I would say we've seen some progress in that, but probably not as much as we would have liked, said Wilson. Wilson's comments seemingly backtrack on a previous earnings call in October last year where he discussed the possibility of an Apex Legends sequel.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Typically, what we have seen in the context of live service-driven games at scale is the version 2 thing has almost never been as successful as the version 1 thing, he said at the time. Weird timing, but also not so weird timing. Yeah. You know, the release of the failure of Dragon Age Veilguard and how that did not sell as much as they wanted. Of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
And how that at one point was supposed to be a live service. And then they said, actually, never mind. We have this really cool Jedi Fallen Order thing that's pretty neat. Let's focus on single player games. Seeming now that they sort of want to backtrack. What do you think of this, Mike? Do you think this is the right call for... Yeah, I mean, it's not an earnings call as well, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
But the caramel part sounds delicious. We like caramel. As we were doing the Fantastic Four reaction yesterday, I saw the salted caramel Twix. I had to bring those in for Game Over Greggy. That's short bread. That's a short bread cookie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
What do you think it takes to make Apex what it was? And can it... Because in my mind, I feel like the player bases are cemented where they are. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I don't know if Apex can come out with something that will meaningfully change the way that the gaming audience looks at it, unless the other games just sort of hit major dips, unless the stuff that they're playing has major dips in quality, or there's just a loss of interest after a while. Apex, to me, will always be one of those mainstays. It will always be a constant. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
even whatever its player base is, it's still going to be much higher than any other multiplayer game if you're not Call of Duty or Fortnite or Valorant and Counter-Strike, all that stuff. It's always going to be one of those constants, but when we think about Overwatch 2...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Overwatch 2 was largely... You got to put the number on there because we were adding a lot of single-player stuff, and it's also a way for us to make more money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
And we're changing the way multiplayer works, and then actually none of the single-player stuff is working the way we wanted it to. Now this 2 is just kind of a waste there, right? Yeah. I look at something like Rainbow Six Siege, which has had a lot of success without a sequel. It's still going. It's still new content. It's still a new operator, new maps.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
There's still a lot of passion behind that fan base. We saw a lot of, like, awesome hype behind the Apex, like, whatever tour, a big sort of tournament that happened recently. But with Apex, I don't know if there's anything that could really get it back into the fold in a big, major way. What do you think, Mike?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I don't know if we're hitting 2019 levels ever again of Apex.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Is it like super soft? This looks like something that you would find in an old village in the UK. Yes, exactly. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I think those game modes have... I think they're in that sort of been there, done there sort of status. I don't know if they can try to implement modes like that again and expect a lot of success because it just never happened. I thought it was going to happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
When we're in the pandemic and they're introducing this 3v3 mode where it is round-based and you have a buy system or you are purchasing guns like in Counter-Strike or like in Valorant,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I'm like, oh, wow, this could be massive because this gets players in, and you're playing this mode to sort of level up guns, to do whatever the hell to get XP, and then you funnel into the big battle royale in a similar way to where Warzone has become this massive ecosystem of
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
go play the multiplayer games, level up your guns, go play Nuketown, map, you know, search and destroy or whatever, then come back to the Battle Royale for the real sort of experience, the big product, the kind of big grandiose thing that everything sort of revolves around. I thought that was going to happen with that round-based mode. It kind of came and went.

They immediately kind of shelved it after about maybe a year and a half or two. And we've seen other smaller modes, just normal death matches. We've seen... Different iterations in terms of, you know, Warzone has their version of Rebirth. We've seen Apex try to do Classic, you know, different things like that. And I just, I feel like it will always be Apex.

I don't know. We'll see. Post Malone, you're going to have to really wow us and surprise us with this. But I'm really soaked about this, whatever the salted caramel mix is.

Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
And unfortunately, that won't be enough for them. You know, I'm looking right now on SteamDB right now. Only on Steam, there are 73,000 players playing this game. Multiplayer games dream of numbers like that. And that's not even counting console. Of course. But that will just never be enough. You will always need more. And I don't know if that could ever be reached.

I think we're kind of like... I think we're reaching the amount that we could do here.

The children yearn for Titanfall.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I think if you called it Apex Legends to the fall of Titans. I just like, there's no way to sort of cheapen. There's no way to do it without cheapening one of the other products.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Yeah, you know, where you all have a similar wall-running ability, you all have that similar mobility, and for Apex Legends to be a hero shooter. It is, every character has their own sort of vibe, their own thing, their own deal, their own ultimate, their own passives. I don't know if you can mix those worlds and... without pissing off a large amount of the player base.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I was really a big fan of those Cosmic ones with the Pop Rocks. Those were really delicious. I was a big fan of those. I like those a lot. Mike, how are you doing this morning?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I mean, I think that may be the recipes for success. I think it may be some sort of... And it's a recipe for success in quotes, but it's also the most massive risk ever of what if we copy that formula? What if we come out with a year and a half to every two years A new Apex six-hour campaign with a new multiplayer mode there, and you also funnel into Titanfall.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Or you also funnel into Apex Legends, right? Or if it was just like a Titanfall campaign or whatever the hell. Featuring, you know, there's Bangalore and fucking all of your favorite Apex Legends heroes. That, to me, would be the model and also the most largest risk you could take because that's a freak load of money, dude.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I mean, for me, you know, yeah, you're, you're making the, asking the right questions. What is the apex player base one? Me, as a non-Apex player base, you know, I used to play Apex back in the day, and I was addicted to it, and I fell off like I fall off of most multiplayer games. But me, as just a gamer, that Titanfall 2 game was pretty fucking good, campaign-wise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
If you could, like... We also love campaign games. We love single-player campaign experiences. I loved Helldivers 2, or I loved Helldivers 2, but I love Space Marine 2. Like... The audience is there for a really good single player campaign experience. And that's just seems to be like, it's nowhere near.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Yes, as you all know, chat, as most of you all know, tomorrow, live on YouTube, or if you're a Patreon member, we're doing an episode of InReview, something that I've been asking for for a long time.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Yeah. You charge for a campaign game. Absolutely. I don't know if they're coming for that. You don't make a free-to-play campaign game. In the same way that you pay money to play the Call of Duty campaign, you pay money to play Doom, you pay money to play first-person shooters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I don't even think it has to be a story based around a character that if you're a non-Apex player, you go, I don't know who that is. Why am I interested? Just make a good story-based game. Just make a good campaign game. That Titanfall 2 campaign was so goaded.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

As somebody who wants to take the last word on this. Lay it on me. On this argument. It's also possible, Andrew Wilson, CEO of EA, that you still want to make your audience happy and get rid of cheaters. Of course, you want to do that work and put in the work to make your product good. It's also possible...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
That you just continue to make money and put out content for the game that has 73,000 fucking people playing on PC only, not counting console. And you just go, we have a successful multiplayer game. Let's just keep doing that. Let's just be happy with it. Fuck, man. Andy, it's big business.

Throw them on a volcano, bro. Jesus Christ, dude. Next story. Bloodborne, PSX demake. Hit by a copyright claim. This story comes from Michael Herodins at PSU. Bloodborne's fan-made PSX demake project has been hit by a copyright claim by MarkScan Entertainment following last week's news that Lance McDonald's Bloodborne 60-frame-per-second patch had been struck down by a Sony DMCA takedown notice.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
In response, McDonald revealed that MarkScan were hired by Sony Interactive Entertainment and are the same company that, quote, DMCA'd my page about the Bloodborne 60-frame-per-second patch. And now they've DMCA'd an old video about the Bloodborne PSX demake project. That's pretty wild. What the hell are they doing? End quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Well, you know, I started off my ranking and then I had to shut the stream off because I was like, I'm so hungry. I'm going to make some bad decisions here. Smart, smart. Let me send the rate over to Mike. But the big important thing with the in-review
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
However, the model suggested that Sony could in fact be working on an official Bloodborne 60 frame per second update or a more ambitious remake in what he describes as his copium theory. And it's all copium at this point because it's all happening because in my heart of hearts, there's going to be a February state of play or showcase or some bullshit. It's in my heart of hearts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I saw it in a dream. And all of these DMCA's are happening at the perfect time. Because why? Because Bloodborne's getting announced in some big major way. Everybody, okay? We are returning to Yharnam. Now, here's the thing. And here's what I don't fully understand about the whole... The mod conversation has already happened, right? Like, we... It's weird. I don't get it. Because the mod...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I still use my purchased copy of Bloodborne to use the mod. I'm not pirating something. There's an emulator out there kind of doing so, but you run into how the lawyers try to take down emulators and ROMs. I shouldn't even be saying that because I feel like I'm alerting people. People know, right? It's weird to me that the mod gets taken down.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
It's weird to me that something like this demake project gets taken down as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
No, the kart racer, I think, I thought they unlisted it themselves.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I it's just it's fascinating because there's I think there are a lot of things that could be taken down. And this just seems like too coincidental. This seems weird and odd that they would go after these things. These sort of like I just it doesn't feel very Sony. It feels very Nintendo. Obviously, Nintendo do this a million damn times.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
The timing just feels way too... It's like they're trying to fuck with us. They don't care about actually taking down the stuff. They're just trying to fuck with us. They don't care about taking these things down because it's not going to hurt the bottom line. They just want to mess with our heads that maybe something's on the way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
stuff was like i was going back to also watch old clips of me talking about these old movies smart and in these clips in 2021 being like we got to re-rank these fucking movies man like i'm sick of that movie being up there we need to go mathematic with it i don't like tim's you know andy and greg have this movie at 20 i have it at 5 nick has it at 16 so it goes at number five or you know tim was just he's doing whatever he wants but now we are going on pure mathematics
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
It's the closest thing to Mother 3 or Half-Life 3. There's no other thing that kind of gets the groundswell of excitement going. Like Bloodborne. And it's just so wild that Again, I've talked it to death. God damn, I just feel like I'm a broken record at this point. But it's like, dude, Elden Ring being this massive breakout success.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Not that the Dark Souls franchise were never that big, but they were never Elden Ring big. Elden Ring being, during the pandemic, being like the big single that hit radio waves and everybody was like, holy shit. 25 million sold, whatever the hell. And you're sitting on one of the best projects ever. That they've ever made. And it's yours. It's your baby.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
And on the flip side of it, I recall some old tweets of Gene Park talking and even listening to the Shuhei interview with Greg. And it does, to me, it feels like maybe the Demon's Souls remake turned some people off at FromSoft. And Sony was like, our bad. We're not going to do anything unless you tell... We don't want to piss you off. We shouldn't have done that. Let's stay friends. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
We don't want to, you know, bum you out and kind of tarnish this... Tarnish. We don't want to tarnish this relationship. So we'll only do stuff if you're cool with it. And I think FromSoft is just too busy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Yeah, it'd be like, yeah, we'll get to it one day soon or whatever. And Sony's just like, well, we're not going to do it without you all because we don't want to make you mad and hurt possible future partnerships and relationships.

Thank you, Rog. Story number one. Rooster Teeth is back. Woke up to early news this morning, just saw a bunch of tweets, saw a bunch of blue sky posts. Big deal. Like, whoa, am I dreaming? Am I dreaming right now? Bernie Burns, founder of the online media outlet Rooster Teeth, has officially acquired the beloved entertainment brand. Pulling a little smosh right there, Mike.

I think me and Luca definitely have a similar appetite, you know? Thick Andy, thick Luca. Just snacking, you know what I mean? Just snacking. If I were around the Lakers facilities right now, LeBron would be walking around looking at me like just munching on some goldfish and be like, stop, stop snacking.

Under Burns' leadership, the historic brand plans to renew its focus on innovation, community engagement, and the spirit of creativity that first defined its success. Burns started Rooster Teeth in 2003 with the breakout success of Red vs. Blue, the longest running web series in history.

Over years, Rooster Teeth expanded into a multimedia powerhouse, hiring incredible stars like Andy Cortez, producing hit shows like Ruby and the international RTX convention series while fostering a passionate global fan base. With his acquisition, Bernie aims to reignite the collaborative and community driven energy that made Rooster Teeth a trailblazer in digital entertainment.

I am excited at the challenge of bringing Rooster Teeth back to its roots, said Burns. The heart of this brand has always been its fans, and I look forward to writing a new chapter together. As an early pioneer of online video content, Rooster Teeth set the standard for how fan-first entertainment could thrive in the digital age.

With Burns back at the helm, fans can anticipate a renewed dedication to Rooster Teeth's original mission to entertain, inspire, and connect. Along with the acquisition, Box Canyon announced a new development slate of productions for 2025, including renewed production of some of the platform's classic shows. A new original audio adventure. Again, is the, I guess, the new audio adventure.

Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
And on that press release, they have their Patreon, the YouTube is back up, the Twitter link that says parentheses or X or whatever is there as well. Yeah, this is exciting. I... I do immediately wonder what the sort of slate is looking like. Yeah. What is the content going to be? Are they shifting back towards just real life stuff? Is it podcasts?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Is it, you know, because obviously Morning Somewhere is a podcast that Bernie Burns has with Ashley Burns. And they found great success with Morning Somewhere. And... I think my main thought is just where is this going? What is the slate of content going to be? Are they getting back into gaming in a big way? Is it going to be let's plays?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Is it just going to be let's just get the band back together? Who's coming back to the squad? That's where my mind goes. Will I go back? What do you want? I don't know. Will Andy get a phone call? Will I get the call, Mike? You know? Return to Texas.

Well, I've seen a lot of the homies break off and have their own success. All of our great friends with Tales of the Stinky Dragon, which is their D&D podcast, which is... Super popular, and they're doing great work over there on Patreon, and they're making their own stuff, and they're making their own way. I would love to see a return to the Kind of Funny podcast, or to the Rooster Teeth podcast.

Get the vending machines out. Nothing but healthy snacks in front of Luca for the next five years. The meme of the kid not wanting the celery is so great. This is Kind of Funny Games Daily once again. For each and every weekday, we run you through the nerdy news you need to know about live on YouTube, Twitch, and on podcast services around the world.

Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
Okay. Because that was some of my favorite content to listen to, and I loved being... When I worked there, just watching it live was so great. I think Bernie Burns is still one of my favorite podcasters. Just... a dude who could just talk about anything and everything and be really good at entertaining at it. And I would love to see some sort of return of just where are they now?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
But, uh, I, I think the mix of where are they now versus making something that doesn't feel like forced is going to be the biggest battle to see like how, how are they going to sort of tread those lines and, I don't think you can really bring back Rooster Teeth without bringing back a lot of the personalities that made Rooster Teeth. Okay. So I don't expect to see a whole lot of new faces.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rooster Teeth is Back! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.05.25
I expect to see a lot of, you know, maybe cameos and returns from past stars that have been on there. A lot of our old friends. But I think... I'm super stoked that it's now back in his hands. Yeah, I think that's exciting. Once the acquisition started, that's where you start to lose some of the passion.

Once corporate starts to get involved, we saw it was full screen and then AT&T and then Warner. It just starts to exchange a lot of hands. There's a lot of people up top that don't even give a shit what you're making.

That's a sick-ass name.

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Victor Creed, yeah. Victor Creed is a sick name.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
They're half-brothers. We're learning a lot of stuff right now about Wolverine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Either way, I liked the moveset for Wolverine. Yeah, oh, that looks awesome. In Marvel Rivals. Much better than Iron Fist's moveset. You're not fucking with Iron Fist? Iron Fist's moveset, I thought, looked extremely lame and kind of uninspired. Mainly because it's a dude punching a whole lot in a way that doesn't look like it kind of fits Wolverine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
this world and maybe that's good because it is different and you're not having what seems to be like how every character in this game just has a projectile that they shoot out but in this case i kind of wish he had some sort of like kick that shot out like a wave of of Oh, that'd be cool. Energy or something like that, because he's just, as Iron Fist, you just run up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
That could be cool. He does have a little self-heal, though. Iron Fist, I think, is pretty neat. Oh, that's nice. He has his own self-heal. But he just kind of... And the ultimate at the very, very end kind of is just Buck Wilde. I'm going to go Buck Wilde on dudes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
He's got the Genji wall run as well. It looks pretty neat. Oh, that's pretty cool. But I don't know. There's something about the way his body looks when he's punching where it just looks like he's standing stationary doing this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
It just doesn't look as cool and as stylish as everything else in the game does.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
This is just such a summary of everything. Like, this one news story, this one event is such a microcosm of all of the industry. It's, like you mentioning, the volatility of working in game development, the unstable nature of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
having a job, the unstable nature of being able to be comfortably employed in this industry, and hopping into a genre that is extremely crowded, and is extremely crowded with games that are already... that already have their crazy dedicated fan bases. And it's about ecosystems. And it's about people already not wanting to maybe go play this newer X-Defiant game, even though they...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
kind of reminds me a lot of Concord, where the Concord release happens, and they say, hey, we thought you all wanted a free-to-play, or we thought you all wanted to buy a game that just sort of had everything already instead of nickel and dime you every couple of months for a new battle pass or whatever. So this was the thing we did. This is not what you want.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
And kind of a similar story with X-Defiant, where they say, well, we heard you all complaining all the time about... skill-based matchmaking and Call of Duty. Like, that's kind of what we're going for over here. And they just never quite met the moment. And I think a lot of it has to do with just people stuck to their ecosystems. Also, why the fuck was this game never put on Steam?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Another massive question. That certainly could have given it more life or given it more of a chance. Never the end-all, be-all, but it certainly would have helped quite a bit. This story is just so emblematic of everything happening right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
There was a weird sort of lead-in to Hyperscape, or to Exafine, because it was this sort of rumored thing that Ubisoft is working on a Call of Duty competitor. Yeah. And we knew that, you know, it had...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
either former devs or people that wanted to kind of go for that crown, but had their own version of, we want to make the better version of Call of Duty, the version that everybody's been sort of asking for.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Yeah, a thousand percent. And I know some people will point to some issues within the community regarding anti-cheat and balancing. Any good game can, you know, live long and sort of fight against balancing issues. I don't think balancing is a reason why this game didn't succeed. I think a lot of it is just people go back to the thing they know and love. Yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
And people may have been playing this game, and then guess what? Call of Duty drops a new thing, and it's a new Battle Pass, a new season, and a new map or whatever, and then people will flock back over there. And that's just kind of the way things go, and that's the way things have been going for the last several years. And I think more than anything...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Obviously, extremely sad that that many people had to get laid off in addition to this whole production suite in San Francisco and in Osaka, I believe. I think more than anything, they need to look at what they have with Rainbow Six Siege and just triple, quadruple, quintuple down on it and go, hey, we still have a game here that people are playing and we have a dedicated fan base here with Siege
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
It's somehow still very, very alive. It's been alive for a very long time and more and more people are playing it. And, you know, there's even a lot of very popular streamers still into the Siege ecosystem. We need to understand that we kind of have a miracle little baby right here and we need to just really feed it as much as possible for the foreseeable future.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
I don't think so. I think the messaging from here on out should be, hey, you all love Rainbow Six Siege. We love making it. We are going to make it the most... I think what they have to do with it is without maybe adding the 2 on it, is doing what Counter-Strike did, even though Counter-Strike did add the number two to it as well. Almost like a 2.0, like, hey, we're back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
It's still a bit of a dated-looking game now, right? I would say maybe updated visually and say, hey, it's a brand new refresh or whatever, but it's the same maps, it's the same characters. We are really, really going to double and triple down on new agents, new whatever the hell, new gadgets and gizmos, because they still have a product there that is still... like thriving, I would say.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
And it's, that's so hard to come by nowadays to, to have a multiplayer game that people are still flocking towards.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
I don't think so. And I think it comes down to... It just comes down to the same argument that I've just been having for the last four years of people know where they want to be. They're comfortable where they're... It's the same reason why it's so hard to convince someone on Android to go to Apple or vice versa. People are where they're at. They're where their store is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
They're where their money is. They're where their purchased items are. And... They're where their friends are as well. And it's so hard to get somebody to just sort of move over and say, hey, that game that you play with all of your group of friends from college or high school or whatever, you know, try to move over here. And also, again, not being on Steam is crazy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
I wish we could check the Steam numbers on Xdefined, but it's not on Steam, which, you know, is still massively unfortunate that they still missed out on a big chunk of players there because I am of the mind that... when it's wintertime or summertime and there's that big Steam sale that there are adults like us with disposable income that go, I got a spare 20 bucks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Let me buy that one game that's on sale right now. We hear about Steam backlogs all the time. It reminds me of all the people that don't cancel AOL who have still had America Online that are still paying from decades and decades ago. I'm checking right now. Siege has 61,000 on Steam only. playing right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Only on Steam. We're not talking about PlayStation or Xbox. Now you've got to realize you have a golden goose. I hope this is a big lesson for a big company like Ubisoft to... And for other large companies of similar sizes to go, we got to quit trying to go for that market. And it sucks, but all that happens is layoffs. We've seen this story repeated so many times.

Turtles reference such a splintered world right now with games and with audiences and just fan bases that you had to have asked yourself.

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
I mean, I got to assume the big reason this got canceled was like, who the fuck is this for? Yeah, this is such a 90 1993 1997 product. of just a random IP getting a fighting game because kids like me would go to the store and go, oh, they made a fighting game about whatever this is about? Sure, I guess. And as a kid, I played a lot of fighting games because it was just a video game.

The numbers were just insane those first couple of days, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
The concurrent players just on Steam alone was ridiculous.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Genshin would be really high up there as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Look, the thing is, a lot of people tagging us are now going to have to sort of censor their stuff because, like... Because of the big betrayal you had with me where I was trying to buy you a souvenir and then you made me get rid of my jacket in order to make space for my suitcase. I made you do that. And it's just such a really fucked up thing to happen at a company like this.

God, I beat a recent boss at Sailor Blade. I got back to it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
I beat it before, like, end of the year games, though. Do me a favor. What a good game. Listen to the soundtrack of Stellar Blade and just think about best OST. Oh! Because the music in that game is off the chain. Oh my god. The most recent boss fight I did was just like some crazy shit. Also, I set my little chill out music when you get to your little bonfires.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
I set that music to this one song that's like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
oh yeah oh yeah and it's just like oh man it's such a good bop but the music during this boss fight was just like some screamo shit oh dude this rocks man this game rocks hell yeah it's such a good ass game and that's the thing is i'm not when we talk about quality i'm also that's not with the argument argument i'm making here about stellar blade for the chat right like i i really dig stellar blade i think it does actually deserve to be on this list

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
D4. Dragon.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Maybe it's Veil Guard Day? I mean, it says Dragon Age Day here. What does D4 stand for, Chad? Is that like in the lore?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
It feels pretty forced.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24

He replays. I mean, when he's not playing Call of Duty with us or whatever multiplayer game with us, he's played through Cyberpunk like six or seven times.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Oh, of course. Chris Anka, salute to you. Yeah, he's on his second playthrough of Dragon Age and he's like, I'm doing everything the same. I'm just playing a different class. I was like, good for you, man. Fuck yeah. Holy shit.

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Not today, but one day. I have a year wrong for myself. This was as of June, though, where Shift Up... Estimated that Stellar Blade has sold over 1 million. What did I read? 3 million. I read 3 million somewhere recently. But maybe I was completely wrong. But it is coming to PC very soon.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Oh, man. All the modding that's going to go out. You don't even need modding. Jesus. The new is jiggling crazy, dude. Is four million crazy? After six months? I think four million is crazy. It's still an exclusive. It's a PS5 exclusive.

You had like E3 parties being like fucking... No, the E3 parties. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
I think you're talking about Nick Scarpino.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
It truly was.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Really? I feel like they're worried. I don't know. I think about what's the current state of Nickelodeon. That's a whole different discussion.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Are there any? Kids are just hopping on YouTube now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Yeah, I was going to say, I can't remember the last time I heard of a Nickelodeon show. I think we're kind of in the worst of times. Everything's falling apart. Everything sucks, man. I'm really sad.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Remember Wildstar? Man. No. It was a long time ago, yeah. Mike knows what's up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Yeah, Wildstar was kind of when we were looking for something kind of after WoW, and it was a sort of sci-fi MMO, and it was just a little too late for them. Everybody was just stuck on WoW.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Yeah, Wildstar was a very, very small sort of stylized looking MMO.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
I've been buying those $90 shirts that Mike's been buying, the vintage ones. No, they're actually, no, I'm kidding. They're like $25. They're just normal shirts. But like very, you know, I got like an old Dark Souls 1 shirt where it's just like the dude in the center. And then it like washes out after like once. Probably, yeah. I mean, it really looks like that. I did a lot of TikTok shopping.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
This is the Stellar Blade song. Okay. Yeah, it's a good song.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
You can't prep us like this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Because everybody's going to, like, wait with bated breath and either shit on you or praise it, and that's, like, a big risk. You got to just walk in nonstop. Scrub this from the footage. You can't do this to Bless. I'm live editing it now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Well, they mentioned about this. They were talking about this Coco Ichibanya also being in L.A. or in somewhere in the L.A. area. There's a lot of weird cities in L.A., you know what I mean? It's like, oh, it's part of L.A.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
They look different than what I was imagining in my mind. I don't know why I thought that they ended at his upper thigh like a diaper would. It's like a shit stain on the back of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
I mean, it's up to Mikey, who's back there listening in. I said I was hoping Saturday and then Sunday a little golf outing. Ooh. I might do an IRL stream.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Went back to Sonic Topgolf. He sent me a text. Well, yeah, I guess in New York he sent me a little text and he was like, fuck with me. And I was like, oh shit, he got a high score in the Sonic game. Good for him. Yeah. Wow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Now, weird, though, he didn't send me clips of his swing. Do you think somebody else took it for him? Well, no.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Well, like, I mean, it was so much better than what he was... But here's the thing. With Topgolf, like, you could... you could underhand it, and it may roll into one of the targets to get you points.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
So, like, what I want to see, I want to see a developed swing, you know? He took that shit and just threw it. Yeah. I mean, it could have just looked like how Tim did his little Mighty Duck slap shot with the golf club, you know? Who knows?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
All one city. It's like, you know, Mike surprising me about Disneyland having L.A. and Disney World having ORL. Orlando. Orlando. Wait, what's Mike surprised about? Mike showed... I mean, it was a big thing on the internet yesterday. Because, like, the word Disneyland has L-A in it. Oh, shit.

I remember the movie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
The Gooners turn on Stellar Blade because of perceived censorship and woke. Oh, that is kind of true, Mara. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
They also just don't like, they don't know. I feel like they often disagree with each other. It's like at one point, like when Biden won in 2020, there was some side of the Trumpers that were like, we know that Trump's still really president. You all just haven't opened your eyes yet. Like, you all need to understand that. And then there was the other side that was like, you know, stop the steal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
And then there was the other side that were like, that's Antifa storming the Capitol. And then there was the other side that was like, oh, you got to free those guys. They're not breaking the law. Like, you know, they're not on the same page is what I'm saying. Yeah. Gooners got to get together, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
I saw that in the first one where Hulk was able to throw Wolverine at people as a team-up ability.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Disney World has O-R-L for Orlando. And then Paris is called Disney... Something else, you know? Disney Parents.

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Oh, a very long time. Yeah. I mean, this is the newer season. This is the newer rebirth map, right? It's only two weeks old at this point. It started two days before I went to Japan, which sucked because I had to miss a lot of time with Warzone. But, you know, it's still kind of brand new there. I did say the other day on my stream, like, God forbid anything ever happens to the company.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
We need your support. So please keep supporting with your Patreon dollars and your eyes and your ears on YouTube and all that Twitch sub stuff.

Doing great, yeah, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
We're going to do our Wednesdays as Warzone? I think the hope is maybe we try to bring in a big celebrity voice in gaming every week. Maybe that's their hope. I also noticed that I wasn't invited, and I'm not mad about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
No. Oh, shoot. Yeah, I should check that. Yeah. I should check that. What are your predictions? Who would be your top artist? It's always Levitar. Oh, music-wise, I don't listen to music. I don't do music that way anymore. You don't listen to music? No, you do. When there's a new album, I will.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Well, we talked about they had a TV show on Noggin in 1997. Is that accurate? They had a TV show on what I learned to be called Freeform, which we didn't understand what Freeform was, but it's like a kid's network or something like that. It's for teens. It's for teens to kind of figure out who they are. But Cloak & Dagger was a show there, and they are a support character in Marvel Rivals.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
And you were asking who's Cloak and who's Dagger, and I think it's a great question because it's hard to figure out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Yeah, they didn't make it obvious enough. I think they maybe need to go back to the drawing board with their designs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
No, I'm joking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
And the lady with the daggers?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Oh, okay. She looks like she's shooting some jet daggers or whatever. So with these character reveals, I did a bunch of reactions to all of the other ones, and we saw Black Widow and freaking Squirrel Girl and all that stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
And so with these reveals, I kind of wished that... They did what, I think Valorant does it or maybe Overwatch does it where it's like, hey, what you're seeing, here's what this ability is. And it's maybe a narrator going, use this ability to ward off your enemies. And it's a little wall that gets shot out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Yeah, and like if you... What I was doing on myself was, you know, on the bottom right of the screen where I'm covering up, you'll see the abilities and the cooldowns down there. And so I was like frame by frame going like, oh, this ability just got triggered. That's what that icon is. So that means that that ability is... this ultimate or the E button does this move.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
The right click does this wall or teleports or whatever. So the right click, you can tell you switch from character to character. I can tell right there already.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
It looks like there's a heal power. Again, this is a, they call their support characters strategists.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
It's very rare that I'm like, I'll do the hyper fixation thing, listen to Kendrick's album a bunch for a 48-hour period and then move back to my podcasts and then just do that. When Coheed and Cambria, my favorite band, releases their new song, I'll listen to that for a full day and then go back to podcasts. Damn. I just don't really listen to music like that anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
And then the DPS characters are called Duelists. I'm not sure what the tanks are called. They're not called tanks, I don't believe. Hulks. Yeah, all Hulks. They're all banners. But yeah, this looks interesting. I don't really know exactly whether this is the type of character you're going to want to be healing with a whole lot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Let's bring up Wolverine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Oh, they call tanks vanguards. Okay, sick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
God, Wolverine's such a cool character, man. Oh, he grows. He super chains his hair. His hair grew when he got mad. Yeah, his hair grows. Okay.

Ich will diesen Ton, den wir schon in den Trailer gesehen haben, wo es diesen blöden britischen Humor haben wird. But having that tone kind of surrounded in little towns here and there, I really want this experience. And the fact that they are willing to delay... Also, 2026, or 2025, way too packed as it is.

Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Und wir wissen, dass, weißt du, I feel like it was before Mass Effect came out, kind of the do you want to go Renegade or Paragon sort of style of game that I would always hear people talk about or I'd read in magazines on GamePro magazines or whatever, but to be able to have that with this newer polish, with this newer film on it, Das Spiel sieht großartig aus.

I reacted to all the Annapurna-interactive thing. I was like, cool, a lot of neat things. Obviously, the ID at Xbox thing happened as well. I watched the Lies of P-Trail, the story trailer, super excited about all of it. And then I downloaded a bunch of demos, and I was like, I didn't even download Wheel World.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Yeah, and what sort of release date do you think, or release window, right? They're just throwing the blanket 2026 on it, obviously, but what... What do we think would be a good time for this to release? We know that early in the year can always be a time for games to shine because there's not a whole lot out. But I feel like that's kind of been changing recently.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
And maybe I'm just talking about how COVID kind of threw off what we expect from release schedules. But when I'm looking at 2026, I think... Was auch immer sie im Frühjahr oder Sommer schauen, ist das, was man für ein Spiel wie Fable wünschen würde.

But I downloaded it a little while ago, played it for about 15 minutes, and I was like, this is something I'm gonna fuck with.

Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I think personally, it needs to be a banger because we could have had another Forza.

Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Not to say that there aren't other smaller departments at Playground, maybe getting prepped on the next whatever Horizon game is, Forza Horizon game is, but if you are putting your main team, who has made a lot of car games, really fucking banger car games, and you are having them work on this fable reboot, whatever you want to call this game, I don't think you call it a sequel, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I think it needs to be pretty high up there. Now, I say that thinking about how Hellblade 2 didn't really hit with a whole lot of people. And that game was like... Ich denke, ich weiß nicht, ich will nicht aus dem Termin sprechen, aber ich habe, als ich Hellblade 2 gesehen habe, war ich so, das ist, das ist ihr großer Drittel-Partner-Banger, oder das ist ihr großer Drittel-Partner-Banger.

Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Oh, ja, ja, ja. Some people enjoyed it, but some people didn't like it. It didn't really set the world on fire. And when I think of, and now I look at Fable, and it seems like Fable, it really is trying to be in that little portion of, not little portion, in that big portion of, this is our big third person action adventure, massively open world narrative, whatever you want to call it.

Hier sind all die Spiele, die wir während der Anaperna-Showcase gesprochen haben.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I think it has to hit. Because I look at a game like Perfect Dark, that's Ich denke, ich habe so viel gearbeitet, dass meine Erwartungen wirklich niedrig waren. Und sie haben diesen Trailer gezeigt und es sah gut aus, richtig? Dieser immersive Sim, der sich umschlägt, hackt, du weißt, a la, du weißt, ein bisschen Cyberpunk, Deus Ex, das Art von Ding.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Aber ich weiß, dass der Turmoil durchgegangen ist. Also sind meine Erwartungen super hoch für ein Spiel wie Perfect Dark. Was heißt es? Ich glaube, es heißt einfach Perfect Dark.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I think there's also just something about the Fable name that if you weren't really playing them back in the day, what does it mean now? And that's sort of same feeling I have for Perfect Dark, right? You know, I don't look at these IP as... Anything that's, you know, we're not bringing back the next Bioshock or you know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I think these are games that are certainly popular enough, but I don't think that the larger gaming audience, the more casual gaming audience looks at these titles and says like, holy shit, they're bringing back Fable. That's something I really need to hop into. I think when I look at Perfect Dark and when I look at Fable, I think that they could put different names or titles on them.

Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Oh, ich wusste nicht, dass es eine Demo für das war.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I think they would still garner the same amount of excitement. Yeah, I don't know. I'm certainly excited about it. I just don't know if it will set the world on fire, but I hope it does. I hope this is a massive release for them.

That sounds like something that your grandfather tells you. Couldn't kick a chicken, though, that kid. It's like a parlance. Back in our day, all these kids kicked chickens. But this new generation, Gen Z, they don't be kicking chickens like that. Most of the combat that we've seen of Fable, it looks to be all kind of melee-based. I don't know if...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Es gibt bestimmte Spell-Momente, aber in den letzten Sachen, die wir gerade gesehen haben, sah es aus, als wäre es nur Melee, Kevin. Ich weiß nicht, ob du die Fotos wieder hochbringen könntest. Das ist die Pre-Alpha-Fotos, die wir gerade vor einiger Zeit gezeigt haben. Aber ich erinnere mich an die, ich denke, die älteren. Haben wir irgendwelche Spell-Casting gesehen? Oh Mann.

Ich habe die Demo für Haste gespielt. Which is... Haste is a game that you've seen on... I'm trying to filibuster as I'm grabbing the link for it. But Haste is a game that you have definitely seen on Twitter all of the time. Haste is one of those indie type of games that like, you know, indie devs love doing the threads of, show off your indie game in one GIF or whatever.

Ich blinke auf es, weil all meine Bilder sind der Junge aus dem IT-Kreis oder was auch immer du das Show nennst. Der englische Junge. Er hat einen guten Cut von seinem Job. Ich liebe den Cut von seinem Job. Shoutout zum Cut von seinem Job. Ist er im Trailer? Warte, warum denkst du an diesen Mann? Weil er in der ersten Erklärung war.

Es ist phänomenal. Ja, er hat einen lustigen Weg, darüber zu sprechen. Aber er ist ein sehr charmerer britischer Junge, der sehr lustig ist. Er war in dem ersten Trailer, als er der Giant war, erinnerst du dich?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Remember, he was kind of like the Jack and the Beanstalk sort of character. He's the big giant guy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
He's got a great line delivery. There's something about British people. I feel like it's easier for them to be more charming. Something about British people. They're not wrong, though. I think they're playing with house money. They gotta do less to be charming, because all you gotta do is be Simon Carty and go, it's a bit sad, isn't it? You just gotta say that, and it's like, I like you, Carty.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I like you, Carty.

Babe, can we go to London? No.

We're never going to London. You'll play Bloodborne and that's it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
And you've definitely seen Haste before. It always looks like...

Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
like what sonic needs to be it's just a fast running character oh yes i've seen this and they're flying through the world and then you know and the mechanics of it super fascinating the ui gorgeous but it's a roguelite and i don't know if that's what i want out of it i don't know if that's what i want out of it because i don't know if it works with what it is right i kind of feel like it just needs to be a

Because this is what I imagine. If they want to have Peacemaker fucking eat an egg sandwich and in your TV show it's, you know, decided that Peacemaker doesn't like egg sandwiches, I don't give a fuck, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I mean, you're preaching right now. I'm listening. I'm in the crowd, cheering along with you. It seems like a nightmare to even try to synchronize things. That doesn't seem like a possibility. I think if there were any sort of tie-ins, it would have to... It seems like a nightmare to try to coordinate.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Wenn Games take, nowadays, this level of game would take around five to six years of development time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Maybe do an egg sandwich reference.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Ja, genau hier. Die Visuals sehen fantastisch aus. Das ist fucking toll. Und wenn du es spielst, fühlt es sich toll an. Ich weiß einfach nicht, ob es... Ich weiß nicht, ob ich super auf das Roguelite-Idee verkauft bin. Weil dann kommt das Map und du wählst, wie du es willst. Will ich auf den Boss-Path gehen? Will ich einen neuen Upgrade kaufen?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
For me, a game like a sequel to Injustice or whatever NetherRealm could be working on is a lot easier to integrate whatever the DCU is doing. Yes. Than something like Rocksteady making a video game that Where it's so easy to break canon. And I think if you are a fan of the DCU and you are a hardcore follower of it... dann musst du akzeptieren, dass es so viele unverschämte Dinge im Kanon gibt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Ja. Denn es gibt keinen Weg, dass du all diese Dinge aufmerksam hältst, wenn... Auch auf der MCU-Seite, wo es keine Spiel-Tie-Ins gab, aber es gab TV-Schläge und so, die all die verschiedenen Dinge gemacht haben. Und auch dort wird es ein bisschen ungewöhnlich. Und für etwa zehn Jahre waren die Leute so, was ist mit dem verdammten Celestial im Ozean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Oder ich glaube, es war nur, seit Eternals rausgekommen ist. Aber trotzdem, weißt du, was ich meine? Ja. Those questions were non-stop popping up and people were being annoying about it. Trying to coordinate with a video game... Let me ask you this. How many times do you think there will be a reboot of what the next Batman is within Rocksteady? There are two years in development.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I could see them being like, this isn't working, let's... Let's scrap it, let's restart. That shit happens at studios. Because not only do you have to try to coordinate on what the story is, but if you don't feel the gameplay is working out, they could just scrap everything and be like, hey James Gunn, things aren't working out right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
There's too much unpredictability in video game development. zu versuchen, mit der DCU zu koordinieren. Deswegen denke ich, mit Netherrealm, einem Spiel mit Unrecht, musst du Charaktere sagen, was sie in den Filmen gesagt haben, was auch immer, wer was macht. In etwas wie, wenn du versuchen würdest, ein Batman-Videogame zu machen,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Ich glaube, James Gunn würde es in einem idealen Weltraum lieben, um es alle zu verbinden. Good luck.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I agree with you. I don't know if you can... You know, legitimately tie in and have the actual character. Hey, this is David Corn Sweat or whatever the new Superman is. Yeah, this is that's his character in the in the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Er gibt mir Doktor-Vibes! Nein, du hast recht. Er ist derjenige, der sieht aus, als ob er studiert hat.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
We can't talk about this too much because Tim yesterday had a moment of self-realization being like, we've talked about this for way too long. I'm so excited, but even I know that this is way too much Tony Hawk talk. The Hawk talk is going too crazy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Because I thought about it. Can you bring up that photo again of all of them, Kevin? Because let me just say, Eric Costin, he's got a little set of caterpillars on. I love his eyebrows. Look at them caterpillars. Oh yeah, he does have thick little eyebrows. I wish I had dark eyebrows. I may tattoo my eyebrows. You want darker eyebrows. I want darker. I like the shape of my eyebrows.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I don't like the thickness or the hair density of them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
How about doing that first? I'm always scratching my eye.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
something long term maybe maybe i just ask the tattoo artist to like tattoo in singular hairs so it's not just a full darkening color maybe it's just like a little couple of hairs here and there where i feel like they would fit yeah i think microblading somebody just said that in the in the twitch microblading yeah that's what they come in and they like do little tattoos Ist das, was es heißt?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Ich wusste nicht, was Mikroblading war. Ich dachte, Mikroblading war ein völlig anderer Prozess. Ich glaube, ich habe viel darüber tweetet. Oh, Scheiße, sie hat es gemacht. Ich glaube, sie macht das.

Greg, can we get our eyebrows tattooed for money? Well, I don't know how much the process costs, Greg, but it'd be something that we would hope kind of funny would pay for. Yeah. But we would make a stream of it. We would, you know, go to the doctor together, mean blessing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I call it microblading. Yeah, you know about microblading? You know about microblading?

Apparently you do it to your eyebrows.

The doctor that tattoos you. They tattoo your eyebrows in.

Und wir sind so, 3 und 4. Das ist Tony Hawk 3 und 4. Sie werden es erneut erneut erneut erneut erneut erneut erneut erneut erneut erneut. Wenn das Website aufkommt, bin ich so, an dem Tag wird es eine Erkennung geben. Aber jetzt bin ich ein bisschen näher mit dir, wo ich denke, vielleicht ist das nur der Tag, an dem es passiert ist. Ja.

Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25

It's either 1 or The Room, or whatever that game's called. The Room? Silent Hill The Room? I think it's like Silent Hill 4 The Room. Isn't it the... Is it 3 The Room?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Just think about it. Oh, shit. Just think about it. For the room. Okay, for is the room. It's gotta be Silent Hill. It makes sense for it to be Silent Hill. If I were a betting man, which I'm gonna be right now, pizza bet. Kevin, play the sounder.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
What did Greg just give you? I just got a message. Greg just walked up with his food once again, but I got a written message on a paper towel. Let me see that. It says, you're handsome. Oh, that's nice. I don't know. Can I see that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
That's really messed up for you to do to Greg's kind message.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

If that was from Greg, thank you. That's very nice of you.

Let's throw Fable in there along with most likely Perfect Dark. And we're already kind of, you know, Our 2026 is shaping up if we delay it, you know? Yeah. And we give the devs more time.

Because shit, it's not even March yet. Like, that's awesome. Oh, yeah.

Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Well, we don't know the vibes of the studio, right? I'm saying it's awesome if the devs are like, oh, great, this is awesome. We get to work much longer. We have so much more time to polish this. There very much could be, you know, devs in there being like, oh, we're so fucked. Like, things are working out great. I don't know what's happening there, but this is still exciting to me.

And then the world will pull, it gives you like a pulled out view and suddenly you have kind of an overworld map where you're walking around as your little guy and you talk to like an NPC and they'll be, look, check this out, look at this shit. I love this. The top down view is so cool, the character art is great. The art reminds me so much of a Super Nintendo game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Of course, of course. I still think that it could mean layoffs for Playground if this doesn't hit, but I don't think this... Again, yeah, you're so right, because I feel like us talking about... There's no possibility of them closing down a studio. They've done that before.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Is that the detective one? Yeah, I think it was like an hour long, right? I guess I never looked at that as like an official fucking... I just thought that was like a... It was an experience. But I guess they still made it, right? Yeah, you're right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Yeah, that's why I gotta assume there's still a good chunk of people still making the next Forza. Because Forza at this point, I mean, that's one of Xboxes, not annual things, but that's a consistent, you know, that's always gonna come out. We're always gonna have a new Forza Horizon game. It's always gonna sell really well and, you know, be critically acclaimed.

Wonder Woman wurde im Chat gecancelt? Was? Was?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I made mention, it reminds me of like Lion King on Super Nintendo or like one of those old sort of licensed Disney games. But it's so early, you can tell that UI is not even 30% finished. When you hit the end of the demo, it pops up with the support us on Kickstarter screen. It is very, very early on. But I think what it has so far is really cool and promising.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
It's a little game called Tales of Fate. It's very, very cute. And I plan on playing more throughout the week. I don't know if I'm going to be streaming all of them, but I also play Shotgun Cop Man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
It's how you jump, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Jeder in der Chat war so, dass es so eine Art Adult Swim-Style ist.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Ja, du bist ein Schottenkampfmann und du gehst in die Hölle, um Satan zu verurteilen. Und wenn du da herkommst, sagst du, ich komme, um dich zu holen, Satan. Und dann kommt Satan und sagt, fuck you, Shotgun Cop. Man, es stinkt, das Finger an. Man, mein Gehirn hatte so eine schwierige Zeit mit diesem. Weil... Everything's opposite. You're playing inverted, essentially.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
So wherever you want to jump, you have to aim the opposite way to shoot. So if I want to jump to the top right, I have to aim to the bottom left to shoot. And that was... Because then if you want to shoot, you have to aim the way you need to shoot, right? Like if I want to jump to the top right, because there's an enemy there, you aim bottom left to blast yourself up there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
But then you still got to aim at the dude to shoot him. So it really kind of... It was breaking my brain. And I hope that they...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
add a it would probably defeat the whole purpose of the game but i hope they add a an accessibility feature that lets you like aim wherever you want to jump and then your character just does the opposite yeah i see what you're saying it would help me out a lot you know because they they have an accessibility feature that shows you the jump path
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
So, there's like a line that you, there's a little option that you go into the accessibility options, you click that little jump path and it shows you where you would be jumping if you were aiming that way and if you did shoot that way. And I really hope that they add the option to, man, it was really fucking with my brain. I could not play this game. I was so terrible at it.

It was like rubbing your belly and tapping your head.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
It's got those fun sort of Super Meat Boy Platformer vibes. I think early on I felt really, really awesome and good at it. And then once the levels started getting a tiny bit more... komplex and just completely broke down. My head did not want to function in this game and I kept on getting this screen where he just says, I die. That's how he proclaims that he's dead. It was a fun time.

So yeah, there's a lot more Steam Next Fest demos to look into. One called Core Breaker. I think I've heard of this. Which is one that looked really fantastic. There's a lot of Breakers, apparently. A homie, Creed, in the chat was like, yeah, there's also a Rainbreaker.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Yeah, there's Hyper Lightbreaker. But Core Breaker has a really neat art style, and that's one that I want to check out as well. Mecha Break, I really want to try out Mecha Break. Here's Core Breaker right here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Yeah, yeah. This is like their brand new sort of demo. But again, I just... Look, man, I'm a sucker for a really good pixel art style. When you can... Wenn du einen Art-Style hast, der so einfach auf die Augen kommt. Ich liebe diesen Art-Style und das hat diese Art von Roguelite, was jedes Game-Studio macht. Aber es sieht einfach lustig aus. Ja, es sieht wirklich lustig aus.

Ich möchte das auch anschauen. Aber ich werde auch mehr Wheelworld spielen. Wheelworld. Wheelworld. Ich muss es immer so sagen. Wheelworld. Hast du es noch gebootet? Just earlier this morning, but like for 15 minutes. Same. Just kind of biking around. I was like, this seems kind of zen and awesome.

Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Yeah, to have a game that you know is going to be that large, get delayed a full ass year into 2026. And honestly, you know, I've always been kind of excited about this new fable. It's not something that I'm like, holy shit, like this is going to, you know, this is the one that we're all waiting, this is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Nothing is GTA 6 levels, but in terms of like, holy shit, you gotta mark your calendars for when Fable comes out. It's always been one of those, those first trailers looked awesome, the tone of them was great and silly. Yeah, I'm gonna play the hell out of this new one whenever it comes out. Do you have a history with Fable?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Renting them, playing them at friends' houses, I don't have this big affinity for Fable, but I think what excites me the most is probably my recent playing of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 oder sogar Avowed, wo man nur die Pre-Alpha-Fotos sieht und die Charaktere die verschiedenen Landschaften und auch die verschiedenen Städte umschaut. Oh, ich will das.

Es ist das seltsame, wenn du denkst, dass Leute mehr auf Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door Remake freuen würden, als auf Mario & Luigi Brothers. Aber der Fakt, dass es ein neues Spiel ist.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Die neuen Spiele sprechen definitiv lauter.

Ja, und ich erinnere mich daran, dass ihr darüber geredet habt. Es sah so aus, als wäre es ein Kinderspiel. Im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Mario-Games, wo alle diese Spiele für Kinder sind, aber sie sind auch für Familien. Und sie sind auch für Ältere. Sie sind für jeden. Das sind Spiele, die über die Ängste oder so überschreitbar sind.

Princess Peach Showtime seems very kiddy in a way where it's almost like, man, I got a nephew who is five, six years old. That would be the game that they can play because they'll be able to understand and play through it and not struggle as much and do all that stuff. Do you think that maybe that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2: Plans For Scalpers, Switch 1 Support - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.04.25
I hate the rain. Oh, I love the rain. Yeah, and I think this might be a byproduct of, I guess, me growing up in the Midwest, but then moving to Seattle as an adult, where for half the year, there's just always like a light drizzle. And there's something about it that is relaxing to me.

Nintendo Switch 2: Plans For Scalpers, Switch 1 Support - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.04.25
Nicht, dass es eine Misszahlung war, aber ich glaube, es ist nur ein Ergebnis von, hey, vielleicht wollen wir als Nintendo einen dieser in unserer Bibliothek haben, nur damit wir den ganzen Spektrum von verschiedenen Ängsten von Leuten, die unsere Konsole spielen, treffen können. Aber wir erwarten nicht, dass Prinzess Peach Showtime verkauft wird, weil wir wissen, was es ist.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2: Plans For Scalpers, Switch 1 Support - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.04.25
Also ich fühle mich einfach so, dass sie, ich denke einfach, dass sie den Mark verpasst haben auf Pete Showtime. Ich denke auch, dass es vielleicht Teil davon ist, dass es nicht Teil einer Quote, Quote, Quote, Quote, Quote, Quote, Quote, Quote, Quote, Quote, Quote. Princess Peach Showtime ist der Anfang einer neuen Serie oder Standalone-Serie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2: Plans For Scalpers, Switch 1 Support - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.04.25
Und vielleicht ist es so, dass du das nicht im Bild hast. Oh, ich habe das 15 Jahre ago gespielt. Ich werde den Sequenzen als Adult kaufen für die Nostalgie davon. Ich glaube nicht, dass Princess Peach eine großartige Ausstellung in ihren eigenen Spielen hatte. Ich sage es so, als wäre sie eine echte Person. Aber du weißt, was ich meine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2: Plans For Scalpers, Switch 1 Support - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.04.25
Weil die anderen Princess Peach Spiele... Super Princess Peach und die DS. That didn't do well either, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Nintendo Switch 2: Plans For Scalpers, Switch 1 Support - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.04.25
Yeah, which is fair, right? But like, yeah, I wonder if there's a thing of... Weil ich denke, eine Prinzessin Peach-Serie wäre so gut für den Katalog. Weil ich denke, das öffnet deinen Publikum. Wenn du einen Weg finden kannst, um Prinzessin Peach zu haben, zu bleiben auf der gleichen Linie wie Mario, Kirby, Donkey Kong, sogar Luigi mit Luigi's Mansion.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2: Plans For Scalpers, Switch 1 Support - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.04.25
Prinzessin Peach sollte, denke ich, einer dieser Charaktere sein. Und ich denke, das spricht für eine breitere Publikum von Gamern. Aber ja, es sieht aus, als wäre Prinzessin Peach Showtime. Ich bin mit dir, was es klingt. You gotta figure out a way to have this speak to everybody, maybe not just children. Yeah.

Ich möchte über die Unterstützung von Switch 1 sprechen, weil das ist etwas, über das wir ein bisschen gesprochen haben, als wir unsere Vorstellungen für Switch 2 gemacht haben. Ich denke, du warst derjenige, der viele Vorstellungen hatte, dass diese Spiele für Switch 1 sein werden, auch wenn Switch 2 bereits raus ist. Wie lange denkst du, dass Nintendo die Unterstützung von Switch 1 weitergibt?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Ich mag den Grundsatz. Ich mag es, dass es ein Videogame ist. Und wir wollten, dass Abby wie Joel spielt. Und deshalb haben wir Abby Jack gemacht. Für die TV-Serie ist das nicht so wichtig. Du wirst immer noch die narrativen Aspekte der Brutalität und der Aktion und all dieser Sachen beobachten können. Wegen diesen beiden Charakteren. Auch wenn Abby ein bisschen dünner ist. Aber ich weiß nicht.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2: Plans For Scalpers, Switch 1 Support - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.04.25
Ich denke, der Grundsatz hier... Ich finde es interessant, auch wenn die Grundlage dafür ist, dass du den Leuten sagst, oh Mann, die echte Aktion-Version von dem Charakter wird nicht so gebaut werden, wie die Video-Games-Version, die du als Tank spielst.

Ja, offensichtlich ist es immer schrecklich, wenn man hört, wie Leo Austin und so etwas verursacht wird. Es klingt sehr, als ob sie sagen, hey, das wird dazu führen. Und natürlich sind die Herzen an die Devs, die von dem verursacht werden. Auch macht es mich etwas traurig, dass ein Studio sagt, hey, wir machen original Dinge, um zu sagen, hey, We are for our survival as a company, right?

Du musst nicht unbedingt das Studio sein, das hier original Content macht. Sofern ich das in Studios sehen möchte, musst du das nicht sein. Es ist in der gleichen Weise, dass ich Blue Point schaue und ich weiß, dass wir gespannt sind auf Bluepoints originales Ding, obwohl es scheint, als wäre es ein Multiplayer-Ding, das geschlossen wurde.

Wir werden sehen, ob ihr nächstes Ding ein originales Ding wird. Aber ich habe Bluepoint immer als den besten Remixstudio aller Zeiten angeschaut. Du hast Shadow of the Colossus Remake gemacht. Du hast Demon's Souls Remake gemacht. Niemand kann Remakes wie du machen. Ich denke, es ist wert, das zu behalten. Wenn sie original Dinge machen wollen, dann machen sie original Dinge.

I kind of like that as an identity. Again, it sucks because it seems like they wanted to make original stuff, but if you can look at other existing and popular IPs and make original games and have original ideas for those things, that's a very valuable skill set to have as a studio and that will lead to your longevity.

If you ask me my hope slash hype for anything in the MCU, it's low. Except for Fantastic Four, which I am kind of excited about. My thing with Brave New World is that I hope it restores the Winter Soldier feeling. When I watched that trailer, I'm like, this looks like it's a spiritual successor to that in all the good ways, except for when I see Red Hulk. And Red Hulk just looks like a CGI.

If you can get hit up by Microsoft and Microsoft go, hey, make an original Halo, make an original Gears. If PlayStation can look at you and go, make an original Astro Bot, make an original Sackboy, make an original Ratchet. Das ist Geld. Ein Kaffee ist ein Kaffee ist ein Kaffee, richtig? Das ist Geld, das du reinhängen kannst. Und das ist die Longevity deines Studios.

Man, Tim, how much are you willing to spend for a switch to? Man, that sucks, dude. It really does suck. Yeah, I think the... If I was to pull any hope out of the story, it would be the hope that the ESA or whoever can work with the administration to figure out the video game side of things.

Honestly, when talking about terrorists, video games are probably the least important. Wenn es um Dinge geht, die von anderen Ländern gekauft werden müssen. Aber ich gehe zurück, ich glaube, es war eine Woche oder so, wo Matt Piscatella darüber gesprochen hat, wie viele physische Disks in Mexiko produziert werden und wie viel physische Spiele günstiger werden.

I've not done the compare and contrast of where all the tariffs are taking place. But the doom is dooming and the gloom is glooming right now. Shit is looking sour right now with this shit.

Ich meine, ich sehe es ähnlich wie das Sumo-Digital-Ding, das Sumo-Digital-Making-Sonic-Ding, das Sumo-Digital-Making-Sackboy-Big-Adventure. Ich weiß nicht, wie gut diese Spiele verkaufen. Nintendo verkauft so astronomisch, egal was. Nintendo hat die Sauce, wenn es um IP geht, in einer anderen Art und Weise. Ich weiß nicht, wie viel Sackboy-Big-Adventure verkauft.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2: Plans For Scalpers, Switch 1 Support - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.04.25
Aber ehrlich gesagt, es verkauft wahrscheinlich besser als... Sumo war nicht Destruction All-Stars. Ich werde das aufschauen, aber ich fühle mich, dass das Sackboy-Ding mehr sicher sein kann, als ein Spiel zu entwickeln, vielleicht als eine neue IP, die man einfach nicht weiß, ob es geprüft werden wird oder nicht.

Yeah, I think these are all kind of like testing grounds for things that they can iterate on in the future because, again, bow and arrow gameplay has always sucked. It's never been fun. It's always clunky and weird. This looks like they're going for the Dragon's Dogma 2 version of bow gameplay where it felt way action-y and your character's jumping like the dude just did a fucking wall jump.

Yeah, so sick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Well, to go to your first point about the mage gameplay. Yeah. I think that that was such a specialized class of mage that there will be, because again, we got to play with four characters. This is the fifth one we're seeing. There will be eight.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
I believe at launch. There will be eight at least, but I don't know if that's going to all happen at launch or not. But the mage gameplay that you're experiencing, I got to assume, and I got to hope, at least for the majors out there, that that was just the preliminary look at a really, really specialized character that requires all sorts of weird strategy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
And then you'll get more of a run-of-the-mill, normal-ass mage later on.

Yeah, he's a tank.

Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Well, I think we have to think less about class and more about starting weapon types.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Even though these characters can kind of go wherever they want and do whatever they want. They can do anything they want. It all comes down to what the passives are. The passives are going to be what sort of decide these classes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Yeah, the passives. These guys will be... Yeah, exactly. Yeah, because we have the eagle tank dude who jumps up into the air, launches down, does a big sort of ground-pound AoE attack, and those are things that can be upgraded. You have the Duchess, which is the super-fast roguelike character, but then again, the abilities...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Well, I guess her ultimate is make everybody invisible, which is awesome as hell. But I guess we sort of have to think about what the other classes would be doing passives-wise. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Yeah, the... I guess, like, the Duchess has the passive ability that her... Instead of a normal dodge roll, she has, like, the dash or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Like, that's kind of what I look at to be a passive. You're right, though. Like, abilities-wise is what I should be saying, because you have two per character. But the... I... Having three additional ones, I think that's where they can get really creative.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Oh, there will definitely be another spellcaster.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
You just say Mike Minotti. Mike Minotti from Giant Bomb at Game City. No, Mike Minotti was our third summon when we were taking on General Consort Radon, right? And essentially... Went for a build that was very popular at the time, which was get the largest shield you can get and just stay there and take everything as your character is going. I think that's definitely a possibility.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
For sure. I think there will absolutely be healing involved. You kind of... You kind of have a bit of that with the recluse. The recluse's ultimate marks enemies, and those enemies that you hit, whoever hits them gets heals back or gets life back. You will definitely have some characters that specialize in that, and I think that'll be perfect for a mage-type character. And, you know, I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
I'm excited about what the future of this could mean for archery in Souls games. Because, again, it's always kind of sucked. And this looks more action-y. This looks way more... Way more fun to play. Way more involved. Way more fun, for sure. Because the boringness in busting out the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
And not only the boringness, but the cumbersome nature of having to hold that button and then this button to then aim down sights. It's always kind of sucked.

Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
You need ranged characters in Night Rain because, again, the way that you resurrect your friends. Kevin, maybe this is something. Is Kevin there or Barrett there? Kevin's in there. Kevin, the way that you resurrect your friends is by damaging them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
So there are cool moments where if you're a ranged character or if you're just a melee character, you pick up a bow anyways because you'll see your friend who gets downed over there and it's like, I got to shoot him from over here and resurrect him instead of having to make that mad dash and run after him and melee him. I can't believe this game's so close. It's June?

And then Best Buy was like, all right, this is my last saving grace for it. the night we'll see. And then it was finally at like 1045. Uh, they're like, it, it gave the little refresh.

Tim, this is the Scuf Valor Pro controller that I've been reviewing lately. Of course, you know I'm a big soul's head and I need my back paddles. Of course. I need my back paddles to feel good. I get it. One thing I love about this controller is similar to the Razer in price. The Wolverine? The Razer Wolverine V3, $250 wireless. Okay. Insane. That's a lot of money. It is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
The wired version is $100. The wired version of the Scuf Valor Pro is $100. Okay. So great sort of introductory price right there. If you don't really care about wireless... you know, capabilities. You're scaring me. What's the wireless price? There isn't a wireless yet for this thing. Well, it comes with a core that you can unplug. Got it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
It comes with a very, very long USB-C, which is fantastic, which is great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
For anybody who wants that, you know, I want to sit away from the couch. For me, this is kind of perfect for somebody who's just always at my computer, plugged in right there. The cable's more than generous enough. The feel of it is really, really damn good. I think it has a really nice sort of matte feel to it, Tim.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Yes, I really enjoy it. And, you know, it's been really hard to pull me away from my Razer V3. However... If you feel my main back paddle, Greg, it's losing some of the click on my Razer V3.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
On the Valor Pro by Scuf, I have been sort of defaulting to it because... One really nice thing, it has four remappable back paddles, but one nice thing is that if you don't want these extra two buttons here, you can replace these little two pieces...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
you can replace these little two pieces with just a... It comes with also two little pieces of plastic that just sort of cap over, so the button won't activate ever, which is really nice. And, of course, one thing I love is being able to remap your buttons without ever having to go into software. That's always a pain in the ass.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
A lot of companies are getting really, really good about doing that hardware, right? Doing that on the hardware. So, similar to the Razer, where, you know, if I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
you know when i was doing the monster hunter demo i was like well roll is on a but my dodge rolls usually be i can just sort of remap it here same thing on the scuff valor pro uh wired version you can also just uh use the little sort of a sync button or whatever this is what sort of helps you configure Yeah, it helps you configure it, and there's also three onboard profiles, all colored by light.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
So I would know that the blue profile means that my B button is my back paddle, and the green profile might mean that my A button is on the back paddle, so on and so forth. I think it just has a really, really damn good feel, and it comes with sort of all of the things you would expect, the Halifax joysticks... The sticks feel freaking fantastic to me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
And then, of course, the trigger stops, which, you know, kind of... I need them, man. I love it. I love trigger stops. It really kind of depends on the feel. But the thing that I prefer about this over the V3 so far is the... Well, the V3 already kind of bums me out because the main back paddle I use feels like it's losing a bit of a click. Did you feel this one? Feel the back paddle.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
It feels like it's already sort of losing the luster there because the V3 Wolverine is all about everything kind of feels like a mouse click. Everything has a good feel to it, but I'm losing some of it there. The thing that I love about this is that this is more of the button type feel as opposed to the mouse click.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
The stick feel, it feels easier to move the sticks as opposed to the Razer Wolverine V3. It feels less like it's fighting against you in some ways. D-pad, I haven't really been using a whole lot, so I don't have a whole lot of... feedback there for you, Greg. On board volume controls as well for anybody who is Xbox or PC gaming.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Because, of course, I PC game, I use Discord, so I don't really use the volume controls, but there are two knobs on the device that allow you to lower the game and or the chat. which is a really nice thing to have sort of on the device without having to, you know, lower anything into the hardware.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
I've never had a broken trigger stop, so I couldn't tell you. As hard as nitrogen. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Nitrogen, you got to like really work on your thumb. It's your management. You work on your finger dexterity. I've never had a trigger stop break. I've had many right bumpers break on my Xbox Elite 2 controllers. But yeah, I don't have a whole lot of feedback for you there, unfortunately.

Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
I would give... Honestly, it's going to probably be my main. It's going to probably be my main unless I were able to feel another V3 that has a better sort of bumper feel. Because the V3 that I have is the wireless version in case I ever want to go wired on it, which I usually don't anyway because...

I did all of my Elden Ring Nightreign stuff. I got three wins in Elden Ring Nightreign, so what else do you need to know? I really love this controller, and I think if you are interested in a wired version...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
$100 for all the bells and whistles that you're getting here is pretty hard to beat, I think. So what's your score? I'd give it a 9 out of 10. I love this damn thing. I really, really do.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
And it all comes down to, like, you know, what controllers have a better hand feel for you, which ones are going to, you know, work for you better. I know Tim is very particular with... DualSense Edge, baby. Tim is very particular with... See, like, I can't do DualSense Edge anymore. And because I'm such a back paddler, when I was doing the Night Rain beta on PS5,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
the the back paddles like kind of fall they almost feel like they're falling out of place and sometimes so i have to like yeah it really really stinks so the dual sense edges really kind of bum me out there but uh the the hand feel i really really enjoyed it it it feels really really damn good now if you are somebody who needs all the extra back paddles maybe that throws a wrench into it but i don't know those are way too in there like the freaking steam deck what are we talking about
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
I love the button, but this front button also allows you to click on it that way or click down on it. So it's kind of like a dual direction. How do I want to click this thing? But I rarely ever use four anyway, so not for me. I know we'll stop. Fair enough.

But one thing I really enjoyed was at the start of it. I don't know who this narrator is. Just got it. He's got a good vibe to him. He's like, all right, get set up there and go ahead and hit the drive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
And he hit the drive. He's like, pretty good shot. And he's just really, really nice about how he's delivering his lines. And then I miss about like five putts, you know, because I'm moving away from the three click system, Greg. Oh, you're doing the actual swing swing? I think we as a society need to move away from the three-click system. I think it makes it a bit more difficult.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
And it does say that that's the most popular system. Whenever you start up, it says, what swing do you want to use? What swing system?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Yeah, I mean, it's been around for decades, right? But I do like the added... Difficulty in... Because these sticks are so precise. And when you... It'll show you the full circle of the swing. But if they only want you to hit 88% power, the circle... There's a smaller white circle there. So when you pull back...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
A small circle from within goes out to the white circle, and then when you push up, you want to push up right where it meets that 88% line. It feels so good. And when you are successful, it feels awesome because there is a lot more difficulty, I think, in than just timing it. I've been playing only on Steam Deck.

Performs great on Steam Deck. Looks pretty damn good as well. It doesn't look super noisy in any way that it's trying to help these visuals run on that piece of hardware. So far, my golfer kind of sucks.

She started off as a 64 overall. which is just like the NBA 2K thing. Do you want to pay more? But you start off with like, what class do you want to be? And it's like, do you want to be a sculptor? Because it's like maybe the sculptor isn't as good at driving, but he can really like sculpt shots, right? Or the one that I picked, magician. It's like this guy, you know, uses spells. No.

This guy can really, really find magic in clutch moments. I was like, well, that's me. And nobody's ever seen me fail in a clutch moment. So I picked that magician class. And what was kind of wild is the driving out of 100, my driving stat was, I think, like a 50. And I'm still bombing it 310 down the fairway. So maybe I got to increase the difficulty.

But I'm still kind of getting my way around it. I think it's... I was especially excited to play on Steam Deck because I haven't really had a handheld golf game in a long time. And it just feels like a nice way to pass the time. And as you are progressing through your, my career, you start off kind of in these little amateur tournaments. They call it, they say amateur. They say amateur, Tim. Why?

That's what they do, man. So you start off there and it kind of does an abridged version of you don't have to play all 18 holes.

And you are now in seventh place because the other squad or the other people on the that you're competing against did rise up the ranks or whatever. And yeah, I'm having fun with it so far, but.

So many of my opinions have now changed with exclusivity over the last couple of years that I know Xbox is clearly the, hey, we get that we're losing. We get that we don't have that sort of market share anymore. So that's why we are making this push-to-go multi-platform. And you can hate it or you can like it or whatever.

But from the Sony side of things, I feel like even the small pushes that they've been making into PC, they've been kind of wetting their whistle. And they're just like, ooh, this feels kind of good to kind of have money coming in immediately from all these other places. And I...

I thought it was odd. I saw the Reddit talk about it. You know, YouTube doesn't like whatever kind of fun he's doing with Warner Brothers or whatever the hell. And then I clicked on the link, and it just worked. I don't know.

Yeah, totally agreed. I think it's a succinct way to kind of, you know, again, get that experience in multiple different places, but it's also just a lot more convenient for the user to say, well, if everything's going to be everywhere, why would you not have the same experience everywhere? This just, I mean, this makes total sense to me.

When I started thinking about these handhelds, Tim, I kind of start wondering how odd it is because we, On one side of things, we don't talk about necessarily how many laptops Asus sells or how many laptops Lenovo Legion or whatever the fuck or HP, Envy or whatever all the gaming brands that they have are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony Makes Major Deal With From Software's Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.19.24
We don't really talk about laptop sales in that way and that makes sense, but we do talk about console sales a lot.

We're trying our best. How are you doing today, Andy? I'm doing great. I started my morning strong, real strong, Tim. Because, you know, Barrett's been a great friend and roommate to me for a long time. And arguably the best thing that he's introduced into my life are Frosted Banana Bread Pop-Tarts. They're so good, Tim. I mean, that sounds good. It's just kind of changed my life.

I do feel like we are kind of in that boom cycle with handhelds. And I wonder...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony Makes Major Deal With From Software's Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.19.24
If these future investments end up not paying off, like you're mentioning how everybody's kind of wanting to get into the game right now, and it kind of reminds me of the gold rush of when the Switch store first became a thing and all these indie devs go, oh shit, you put a game on Switch, it's going to sell because there's not a whole lot of stuff on the Switch store right now or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony Makes Major Deal With From Software's Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.19.24
I wonder... will all of this kind of pay off or will Steam Deck sort of just stay the main thing? I don't think Steam Deck is the main thing. It reminds you of early VR, to be honest with you. Where when we start to see Oculus take off and then Valve wants to make their own and then MetaQuest acquisitions, all this stuff. And there was like a big boom early on. Samsung Galaxy Gear.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

When I worked at Best Buy, there was just like a shit ton of really shitty VR things that were kind of popping up. And then they started to see, all right, this isn't necessarily worth it. Let's pull back and maybe not put that many resources into making these things.

I wonder if these handhelds will get there because I don't know if the handheld PC market will really take over and take off in the way that I want it to.

Sony Makes Major Deal With From Software's Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.19.24
God, I could already just see myself on the sales floor right now just slinging these fucking handhelds. Because obviously my pitch would be like, oh, sir, how you doing? Welcome in. Oh, you want the Steam Deck? See, that's the thing. It only has a Steam OS. But these, and here's the thing, Dave, those likely have a much larger markup, so you're going to be encouraged to sell those.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And now I got the yellow sort of jacket. I'm sure I'll get some banana comparisons there. I'm just really, really into these damn Pop-Tarts. I can't stop eating them. Really enjoy them. And they're good for, like, just a little late night pick-me-up. A little early morning pick-me-up. A little midday pick-me-up, Tim. I'm a big banana bread in the morning guy.

Sony Makes Major Deal With From Software's Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.19.24
Yeah, I do see that. Because I just think about the future of how Sony's also rumoring their next product or whatever. And nobody wants to have a million handheld products with them. And the one that could just play the most things will likely be the victor.

Snoop Dogg's here. I looked up real quick that in the 2023 World Series had an average of 15.8 million people watching live concurrence. And it's just astounding to me that... Try to say that again?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony Makes Major Deal With From Software's Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.19.24
15.8 million concurrence, right? So it's just astounding to me that a game award show can have like a fifth of the viewership or... That's 4 million, 8, 12... Yeah, around there, about a fifth of the viewership. That's stunning to me. We're talking about just like an awards show, which already don't get watched a whole lot, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony Makes Major Deal With From Software's Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.19.24
To anything else, right? And again, you can say it's not really an awards show, it's an advertisement show, and there's a lot of awesome reveals or whatever. But still, it's not the Oscars, it's not the Golden Globes, whatever. It's a much smaller market that's still somewhat in its infancy, right? When we talk about just... the other mediums of art wild.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Do you think that there's an effort behind the scenes to grow this even more in a drastic way? Do we think that there's any pitches to extend this out to a weekend sort of event where there's all these other sorts of little smaller things neighboring what the main award show is?

And part of me feels that way about the Destiny community, and I'm very ignorant about the Destiny community, so I probably shouldn't even be talking about it right now, but the fact that Destiny 2 is over, and there's likely not going to be a Destiny 3 based on a lot of stuff that we've already heard from past rumors.

When I look at Kadokawa's Wikipedia, all I can think of is just the word conglomerate. It's a media conglomerate. This is a conglomerate with all the IP that they own.

And I don't think it's not even like the main purpose for this, uh, sort of, uh, acquisition, not acquisition, but for, for the, the purchasing of these shares, but it's definitely up there. And I'm again, I'm glad it's not a majority cause I don't, I don't want these games to just be a Sony product. I love, uh,

I see here that Sony Television makes the $100,000 Pyramid starring Michael Strahan. I just would have never expected that guy to be just one of the hosts of everything when he was, you know, sacking my quarterbacks back in the day for the New York Giants.

gigantic stratospheres when we talk about the leaps that they've been making kind of title to title. It kind of... I also think of, you know, Animal Crossing kind of hitting another threshold of sales through the pandemic or whatever. I mean, I hope this turns into...

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony Makes Major Deal With From Software's Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.19.24
How do we not just suddenly have video game movies just for fun without really, really caring about the IP? And I think the people at FromSoftware aren't really willing to cheapen their name and their products. I agree.

Es fühlt sich so an, als ob sie mehr von einer älteren Vibe ausgelöst haben. Ich liebe es. Es fühlt sich so an, als ob, zu deinem Punkt, als du erwachsen bist, die Switch 1 diese Farbe hat.

I'm very fascinated about it, because that doesn't seem like a thing you put in there just randomly. I don't think they're thinking of, even though I think it could be used for Case of the Golden Idol or Rise of the Golden Idol, I don't think they look at that game and go, you know what, let's add in a whole hardware feature based off of indie stuff. I wonder if there's some first-party ideas.

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Ja, nicht, dass es nicht mehr als 24 Charaktere gibt. Aber ich denke, wenn du so viele Leute in den Spiel haben wirst, wirst du das irgendwie erweitern wollen. Könntest du Duplicate wählen? Ich glaube nicht. Vielleicht online?

Maybe a Suikiden Remastered. Do you think the floodgates are going to open? Like, of third-party developers talking about their Switch 2 games now? Because if... With the Switch 2 Direct happening in April, right? Like, it would feel... Not weird, I guess, but like...

Ich sehe es so, dass ich denke, als die PS5 und Xbox Series X rausgekommen sind, ich denke, Tim war derjenige, der das gleiche mit dem Gespräch gesprochen hat, wie viele Leute es bekommen können und so weiter. Ich denke, damals hat Tim gesagt, dass wenn du einen wirklich willst, am Launch, dann wirst du es bekommen. Aber ich denke, dass Monate später... Du musst aktiv sein.

Yeah, and that's my thing. I think once you get to 500 and 600, then you are talking about a, can the Switch 2 be as successful as it needs to be? I think then you're getting into a problem of, will people buy this thing for 500, 600 dollars? I think, there was a lot of people in chat talking about the Trump tariffs. I could see those prices maybe get passed down to software.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
I don't think, I think this next Switch generation, at the bottom, you're talking about 70 dollar games, if not more than that, like over time is like, prices of games rise up. But I think for the hardware to succeed, I don't think you can I don't think you can charge more than $450 at the highest.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
switch gamers right yeah but will that keep the same momentum i don't know i think so right i think to your point remasters are a big part of uh switch especially i think in the first half of the switch life cycle uh but i don't think that like they necessarily carried the switch um i think they just helped supplement and make it feel like a jam-packed library but i think at the same time when we talk about um the first half of the switch especially early switch

Du sprichst dann auch noch von Nintendo, die noch Spiele für Nintendo 3DS produzieren. Und auch von der Bibliothek. Als ich Gregs Interview mit Shu hörte, zeigte Shu, wie die Vita nicht erfolgreich war. Und wie Playstation nur Konsolen hatte, weil man die ersten Spiele für diese beiden Plattformen entwickeln musste. Nintendo hatte das gleiche, aber sie fokussierten sich auf Handheld.

Alle entwickeln für das gleiche. Hier denke ich, weil man von der Grundlage her anfängt, dass alle Nintendo-Developer alle für Switch 2 entwickeln. Ich denke, dass man in der Vergangenheit sogar noch viel mehr Software von Anfang an haben wird als von der Switch 1. Ich denke, dass das allein hilft.

Es könnte nicht sein. In dem letzten Frame des Videos gab es eine Sache, die sagte, wenn es um Back-Compatibility ging, gab es eine Liste, die sagte, dass nicht alle Switch-Games, vielleicht, ja, bestimmte Nintendo Switch-Games nicht unterstützt werden können oder vollständig unterstützt werden können für die Kompatibilität für Nintendo Switch 2.

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Ich denke, das muss die ersten drei Monate sein. Aber ja, ich lehne mich Richtung Launch, weil wenn es nicht Launch ist, dann was ist es? Ich würde mein Geld auf Launch investieren. Ja, ich denke, wenn es nicht Mario Kart ist, dann muss es ein Zelda oder ein großer neuer 3D Mario sein.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Aber wenn es ein großer neuer 3D Mario ist, dann möchte ich das vielleicht ein bisschen aus Mario Kart 9 entfernen und es auch später im Jahr rausnehmen. Und Mario Kart 9 ist mir mehr die Priorität, um rauszukommen. But then to your point earlier, Tim, I then think about what does the rest, like if this thing comes out in June, what does each month look like in terms of launch?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Because, yeah, like Mario Kart to start off, and then are we talking about a 3D Mario in October? Are we talking about like... Not that they're expecting to sell 20 million, but if they're making 20 million to have prepared, are we talking about Animal Crossing? What are the games that are going to push that?

Dann sprechen wir über Ocarina Remake, wenn ich in der Welt der Träume lebe. Dann schaue ich mich an und denke mir, 20 Millionen macht Sinn. Wenn das das erste Jahr ist, wenn das die ersten zwölf Monate sind, die du haben willst.

The amount of money that I've spent on just Mario 64 alone and Super Mario Bros. like the classic ones. Hey, maybe they're working on Galaxy 3. And they're gonna re-release Galaxies 1 and 2. Maybe there are Galaxies inside the Galaxy. Damn, dude.

Das ist ein Überhype. Ja, ich meine, ich fühle es, ich glaube nicht, dass ich es nicht stimme, aber ich fühle sie in Bezug darauf, dass wir darüber gesprochen haben, dass wir darüber gesprochen haben, dass wir darüber gesprochen haben, dass wir darüber gesprochen haben, dass wir darüber gesprochen haben, dass wir darüber gesprochen haben,

Veröffentlich sie nicht zusammen. Ja, aber es ist Switch 2-Zeit. Metroid Prime, so viel wie... Es ist Switch 2-Zeit. Es ist Switch 2-Zeit. Das haben sie in der Board-Meeting gesagt. Ja, aber es ist Switch 2-Zeit. Es ist Switch 2-Zeit. So viel wie ich Metroid liebe. Ich habe Metroid Prime für das erste Mal gespielt, als sie den Remaster gemacht haben. Das schlug mich weg.

Einer der besten Spiele, die ich je gespielt habe. Wir wissen, was Metroid in Bezug auf Verkauf ist. Und wenn du für die 1-Game-a-Month-Strategie gehst, für mich, mit meinem T-Shirt an, Nintendo, schau mich als Nintendo-Businessman an.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Ich schicke die Tür auf, schaue auf Miyamoto, und ich bin so, es ist switch zwei Mal, verpasst nicht einen Monat auf Metroid Prime. Verpasst es nicht. Bundle es am Anfang, setze es neben Mario Kart, die Fans werden es kaufen, sie werden es spielen, sie werden es lieben, aber es ist Banger-Zeit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Und ich gehe sogar so weit, als würde ich sagen, ich denke, Ein Metroid Prime 4, der am Switch-Launch-Tag kommt, neben Mario Kart, macht es besser als ein Metroid Prime 4, das seinen eigenen Moment im Monat 4 bekommt. Ich denke, Metroid Prime 4 muss das Spiel sein, in dem du, sobald du einen Switch 2 holst, einen Metroid Prime 4 holst.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Ich denke, das ist der Weg, wie man Metroid dort finden kann, ist, es in die Hände der Leute zu drücken. Und zu Tims Punkt, du machst einen Launch Title und sagst, hey, das ist der einzige. Du kannst Mario Kart 9 in einem Monat bekommen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Oh mein Gott. Und ich bin das Gegenteil von Baird. Wenn Nintendo sagt, hey wir haben eine Remake von Ocarina, dann kannst du auch Win Waker Remasteren oder alles. Ich kann das auf meinem Steam Deck spielen, wenn ich will. Gib mir die Ocarina Remake, Alter. Glauben wir, dass Termina Field größer wird?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
How much of a different game is it going to be? Is it a reimagining? Do they find a way to convert Ocarina to like a Breath of the Wild style?

Das ist echt lustig. Man, Forza ist so gut. Ich denke auch daran, was ist das Level in Mario Kart 64, das die Realtracks hat und es ist wie... Choo-choo. Etwas. Es ist so desertig, so sandig. Das ist auch ein anderes Level, das so offen ist. Ich denke, das ist einfach... Es ist so weit, ich würde es nicht nennen.

Of course you don't really need to resell us on that because everybody understands what the Switch is. So how do you talk about the Switch 2? You start off with the Switch and show all the intricate details of wie es sich verbessert, wie es sich verbessert. Ich liebe den größeren Bildschirm. Es sieht leckerer und moderner aus.

Ehrlich gesagt, das bringt mich zurück zu, was, drei, vier Jahre ago, als wir alle über das Switch Pro und was wir aus dem Switch Pro wollten. Schauen wir uns das an, das fühlt sich wie das Switch Pro an. Und ich verstehe, dass sie das als neue Konsole verkaufen wollen. Das ist ein Schritt vorwärts, all das. Aber am Kern ist es so,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Was ich von dem Trailer bekomme, ist, dass es ein besserer Switch ist, mit Upgrades dazu. Und bis jetzt bin ich gut damit. Ich will sehen, wie das Software aussieht. Mario Kart, das ist etwas, mit dem man anfangen möchte. Es sieht aus wie Mario Kart. Ich mag den Artstyle, die Charaktere sehen anders aus.

Ich meine, es sieht großartig aus, und wir werden es hoffentlich irgendwann bekommen. Ich hoffe, dass es bald sein wird. Ich weiß nicht, ob es ein Steam Deck ist. Es ist nicht so groß wie Steam Deck. Es ist nicht so groß wie Steam Deck. Das ist großartig.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I feel like that is big enough news that they could have even hyped up the state of play with it. Like, hey, you're going to get 40 plus minutes of some weird creative, not weird, creative unique worldwide game experiences and a look at a new Astro Bot update. That I think would get even more eyes on your marketing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Oh, tell me about it. One of those nights that I get all comfy in my bed, she falls asleep, and I pull out my phone, and I'm like, what am I going to look at right now? What nasty stuff am I going to look at right now? And I think back to, oh, wow, we had a game showcase earlier today.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I don't know why it didn't fit in the State of Play when them going through their really kind of awkward game catalog and PS Plus Classic section. Like I was saying yesterday, I think that was very poorly produced. It was a little bit hard to follow what they were even saying with how they showed it and all that. That section could have easily had an update on a game everybody fucking loves. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Do they ever stop with Astro Bot DLC? Here's the thing that I love. This feels passion-fueled. This feels like you met these people, right? And the way you've even talked about it, and it's clear playing the game. They love this game. They love making games. They love creative ideas. And I feel like as long as they have those, they're just going to keep pushing out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
The question then becomes, when do they have to stop and move on to the next thing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I don't think that we should expect more, but I wouldn't be surprised if we do continue to get more drops. And also, each one of these levels has a new bot to rescue.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
yep you know what i want to re-watch a bunch of trailers and that to me is the sign of a good showcase hell yeah you know it reminds me of the xbox showcase that we had the last two big xbox showcases whether it was the uh developer direct or the big xbox showcase last may june want to say june june right that when we get one of those nintendo directs that like oh man metroid prime 4 is here like i want to watch this stuff yesterday

Astro Bot won Game of the Year at Game Awards. Yep. Why wouldn't they say Game Award winning Astro Bot has a new update? Kind of funnies Game of the Year. Yeah, that too. Put on the box. You know what I mean? For a marketing event, there's such good marketing right there. But whatever. That aside, I'm excited for this. Very excited for this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I think this is kind of like a dream scenario for people like the three of us of like, hey, weekly drops of a game we love just with little bite-sized things to jump in and do. Hell yeah. That sounds like a great time. Are we going to get backed up and forget that they drop three weeks and then have three to play? Sure. That's a good time, too. Yeah.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
No. And I think I said this yesterday, but reflecting on it even more, I stand by it even more. I can't believe what wasn't there yesterday that we know is going to happen. We're going to get another Resident Evil announcement. It's imminent. It wasn't there. Ghost of Yotei wasn't there.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
The amount of trailers that I wanted to pull up, Shinobi, Art of Vengeance, Lost Soul Aside, Split Fiction, Midnight Walk, Darwin's Paradox.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Here's my thing. I'm digging it. I'll believe it when I see it. I don't I don't believe it. I really really. Yeah. I don't think that Astro Bot is selling the way that it needs to in order for them to put their money where their mouth is on this. Sure, awards are great. Obviously, they're going to flaunt them and talk about them and all that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
But I just don't see them committing to this the way that it sounds. And you look back at even just the last five years of PlayStation and how much they have supported some of these things. Them jumping back into Ratchet and Clank at all to this day shocks me. It felt like the 2016 remake that was coinciding with the movie was going to be the end of that franchise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
And when Ripped Apart was shown, it was like, holy, I was mind blown and the game ended up being amazing. But then we saw the actual numbers of that. It's like, all right, well, it didn't seem like it was up to snuff for what even that type of game needed to be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
So you add that with Sackboy's Big Adventure, and I'd say even just where a lot of the other more family-friendly kind of IP and characters that Sony either played with before, like Crash Bandicoot and things like that, or straight up own, like a Jak and Daxter, I don't see them going back to that. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I am definitely coming off on this pretty negative, but that's just because I don't want to be wrong. And then Knack is actually another great example. They've been doing this and it hasn't worked until Astro Bot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I absolutely agree with you. Every single thing you're saying. I just want to know what that translates to with what they're saying to their actual output. Yeah. Like... Really, what do you think we see next? What do we see that's in the realm of what they're talking about here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Honestly, yeah. Something like that would be great. I just still... My problem is looking at this, it's like, all right, cool. Are we talking about sales success or specifically here, award success? And I don't think that giving Sumo Digital or even Toys for Bob, Jak and Daxter is going to get them awards. You know what I mean? I feel that. But I think you're talking...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Basically is what I'm saying here. I mean, that's the million-dollar question, right? Like... I don't know. Yeah. We'll see. I'm hopeful. I love kid games. Love them. Fucking love them. Maybe my favorite genre, like, it's not even a genre. The Nintendo fanboy?

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
invest in of just like this this is where we're at very Cobra Kai if I'm being honest like you just gotta you gotta understand this is the world they're in they care about cars and combat a whole bunch okay yep um and once we started getting more and more characters and seeing how they're all kind of uh linked it was like all right there's some heart here like a surprising amount of heart and like every actor in it seems like they really want to be a part of it which is always good um and I mean if he was a writer on it and like crushed it like totally crushed it like people that are like oh Borderlands 4 is gonna be good yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
gonna be as good as this which i think is good uh in terms of comedy writing okay um but then get to the uh finale and it was like oh we actually get to see what twisted metal is which is like a giant arena with a bunch of cars with different special abilities like fighting together that's awesome and it was hype and they're using like the homing missiles and shit from the games and they're all color-coded correctly i was like this is great but then they teased at the end of it like the tournament's about to begin so that's what we're getting here that's pretty sick i'm a big fan of tournaments

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
It's interesting, right? I feel like this is kind of not common to see this much division between the scores, ranging kind of from that, like, six all the way up to the eight, five area, right? Like, all right, cool. So I think that that's pretty telling that this game might be for you. Like, if you are into this type of thing, there might be an eight to nine there for you.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
So they continue on saying... Sorry, real quick, I just want to say, the loot boxes and stuff coming back, that sounds like, oh, cool, let's give the people what they want. Let's try to make this more authentically Overwatch to compete with Marvel rivals. I'm just more talking about the Counter-Strike bit. That, to me, sounds like there's no way in hell this works. I mean, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Yeah, but I feel like that's really dumbing down the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
artistry of it and the production that they put into it they're making content like they're trying to entertain if it was literally just marketing they would just put out the trailers and the back-to-back trailers and that's it they wouldn't have developers talking they wouldn't have any of the motion graphs graphics and all the fancy stuff and like the promotion even for the showcases like i i feel where you're coming from i just think that like we're in such a lucky spot the capcom are the ones that we look at now and like oh man it's gonna be bad
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
And again, bringing back old stuff to make it feel more Overwatch, like classic Overwatch. And yeah, it's so funny because looking at that, that's not Counter-Strike at all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
like maybe it's like cool just like the money and all that stuff but like in terms of the vibes in terms of what csgo kind of like makes you think about gameplay wise uh it's all right cool that just looks like a different overwatch mode but i still don't have full faith that it's gonna like light the world on fire or anything but um they're trying they're trying things they're

No, I wish. I wish there was something here that was like at all enticing to me. It's just like, okay, cool. So I can do the exact same thing I do everywhere, but I have to pay money to get into an arena to do it. Like, I don't know about that. But I will say that I personally feel happy about this because my Pokemon Go like route that I walk starts at the ballpark. Oh, nice.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Because there was a long time where the assumption for most showcases was they were going to be that level of, ugh, or filled with just utter nonsense. Everyone's gotten better across the board. There's just more games to talk about. There's more announcements, more hype. There's just literally just more.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
At the end of the day, like with all video game stuff, if the fans of the game are getting things that they like, That's all that really matters. I'm sitting here talking about this from a business perspective and from an industry perspective of just like, is this going to hit and make Overwatch the hit it used to be? No, I don't think it will. That is irrelevant to people enjoying the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
And I think with that, there's also way more showcases, which makes all of them, even if they're not bad or even if they're great, but they're not quite amazing, everything starts to feel a little samey because we do this shit every fucking five seconds. And guess what? Onimusha hits a lot less hard when we just heard it talked about a week ago in a lesser way. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Yeah, I mean, it's funny because I didn't say this yesterday during the reaction, but it reminded me, the way that the game looks reminds me of that old game Agent that ended up not coming out. Oh, yeah. Can you bear real quick? Can you just bring up the Agent trailer?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25

I got to be real, though. For the last 20 years, I've thought this was Agent. In my mind, every time we've talked about Agent, I've thought about this. No, we've never seen Agent. That's crazy. Besides that logo. Man. Yeah.

yeah like for a game that didn't even have graphic settings you know what i mean like you couldn't go into the options and change frame rate or resolution or whatever why you're just being like oh yeah if you have ps5 pro you're gonna get best resolution does that mean like you can play in what 4k 60 it'll be like at that a constant best resolution so i guess whatever the closest to 4k can get if not 4k see i thought that was gonna be the part where you would celebrate the most as tim getty's a fidelity man

Well, my thing is, I was already so happy with the performance of Astro Bot. Like, I had zero qualms about that at all. I just think that it's a little, like, what the fuck.

It sounds good.

I mean, up until the Yakuza show, it feels like they had been just hitting with everything when it came to IP that they didn't own, right? We talk about the boys, we talk about Invincible, Fallout, and it's just like, man, they can't miss right now. They're hiring the right people for these right projects. I just don't know if...

I have a good feeling that they are going to... not do the shepherds. Like if the shepherd is involved in any way, we are going to see a lot of liberties taken similar to how the fallout show, maybe, you know, this character's arc was reminiscent of this side quest, but it wasn't one-to-one. I have a feeling we're going to get a lot of that because the massive universe is so gigantic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
It's so massive with the amount of different races of aliens and characters, but also all of these sort of, interpolitical strife that they're going through. It's always been the action Star Trek for me. And that's how I've always seen it. And I... I don't know if I want Shepard's story one-to-one, but I wouldn't mind if they sort of took different liberties.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
It's also kind of weird because Shepard's story was, like, I know how my Shepard's story was. Shepard's story is your story. I know what my choices were. I know that, you know, we were going to stop that goddamn genophage. Rex, you're my boy, okay? I love you forever. And, like, you know, you have the emotional moment with Morden. You fall in love with Liara, like...

Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
It's weird to kind of try to take that stuff. I just know that there's so much good shit. It reminds me of Game of Thrones, how we kind of realized by the end of the Game of Thrones sequence that... Or the whole series that... It's not that... I'm blanking on the directors' names. Benioff and Weiss, I believe. It's not that they were amazing at what they did. They were great at adapting.

homeboy uh fast nine man david uh i forget i forget the writer's name the person in the daniel casey daniel casey daniel casey if we can have daniel casey be a good adapter of stuff because there's so much good stuff to pull from that universe whether it's side quests whether it's books comics all that stuff there's so much good source material that's what i'm hoping for you don't gotta create your own thing yeah because i don't have a whole lot of faith that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
really anybody can create your own thing in that universe. But I have faith that the right people will be put in charge to pull great stuff from what's already existing in the universe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Yeah, you're definitely not wrong there. I don't even disagree with that. I'm just worried of... That story is, I think, so well told. And maybe you can just adapt the shit out of it. Maybe you could, word for word, take some great little monologue moments from certain characters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Yeah, you're definitely not wrong there. And I do kind of also just get super jazzed up thinking about... I mean, ever since playing Mass Effect and ever since Netflix really started coming on the scene and started doing their own original programming, we've wanted a Mass Effect series. It just felt like such a slam dunk. You have this great, amazing universe to play with.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
You've already seen it visualized in a way, so you don't really have to worry about... What's the visual language of this? You're not adapting from a book, you know what I mean? And I do get so jazzed up at just wanting to see

You're expecting some goofs. I'm expecting some goofs. All right, so here's the thing about Shepard, right? He's probably, like, early 30s. I think he's, like... I'm going to assume he's early 30s if I remember correctly.

People are enjoying it. Yeah, and it's the dress-up game where you're just dressing up a character, and it's like, oh, that's all it was on mobile, but now what if we essentially made it a big Genshin-type game?

No, you're right.

What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Because here's the thing. There's a lot of, like, the backlog right now. Shit, I got to add Prince of Persia to that backlog. Yes, you do. Prince of Persia. I need your axe, Andy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
It's hard for me to be positive. I just feel sad about it all anyway. I feel like every time I'm on this show, which isn't a whole lot, but whenever I am, there's always a story along these lines. I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
I don't disagree that the messaging sounds less doom and gloom than we're kind of used to getting with a lot of these, you know, either we're kicking it offline or it's going offline or the services will go through whatever month. it's just one of those games where you have to hope that the budget wasn't so crazy that it's not going to lead to a buttload of layoffs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
And that's what I hope for for future multiplayer games going forward. I always look at Outriders as the example, and I've talked about it ad nauseum by this point, but... When a game like Outriders comes out and says, we're not a shared world shooter, we're not this forever game we were never trying to be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

We're a game that you can get in, have some fun with, and if you stop playing in two months, or if our game goes offline, or if our game stops putting out updates within a year, hopefully they did enough to where they were... They were able to kind of get back some of the funds going into it. And again, this was a PS Plus game, I believe, right? Totally. So there's money coming from somewhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Exactly. And those are all the... I would say this is the least doom and gloom of any of the stories that we've had of this ilk. But yeah, I think you're kind of right. I think it does seem like there was a concerted effort to at least have a plan and not just make it feel like... they open the, suddenly their security card doesn't work and they can't even open the doors.

It's crazy to me that, you know, remember that one Uber driver we talked about who was, like, super good at Golden Tee Golf? Yeah. He was, like, a really rude-ass guy at first, and then we connected on a gaming level.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Because he started talking about how... Was that also in Vegas? No, this was SGF. You're right. And we connected on a gaming level. And this dude was just like, yeah, I mean, I used to go to all the different bars and compete in tournaments for Golden Tee.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
And it's so wild to me that there ever was even a following for Golden Tee where it's like, that's why I saw him in so many bars whenever, you know, you'd go to like some get together or whatever. Buffalo Wild Wings to this day still has it. Totally makes sense. It's like, oh shit, I didn't know Golden Tee had it like that. Why didn't they ever cross into, like, consoles? I'm sure they did.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Like an NES version of Golden Tee or something like that.

But let me get back to the list one more time. The backlog. Yeah. Prince of Persia Lost Crown. And I'm at the point where I'm getting them consolation pieces. Man, they're real far away from where I'm at. Like, that's crazy.

It's massive for small teams. You talk about a development team of three people that need to work on their game and have spent... are working 80-hour weeks in their own personal time and in some cases leaving their jobs to make this one passion project. And then the game comes out and there may be a lot of issues because there's not accessibility. And it's like, well...

It's easy to make a puppet tool look bad. Explain what you're talking about. An enemy is not hand animated. Oh, your animation. Exactly what I thought you were talking about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
we're a three-person team and we have to make the game first, which is totally understandable. Now, having sort of like an open-source license to just say, use our stuff to help make your game work so that way you're saving money and not having to... hire additional team members that then may... Maybe that budget cuts into what you could have used to develop the actual video game.

What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
I mean, not even that. It's just like it's obvious that when a character is running at you, they're running like that. And they just like use their. And it's like, I just don't. It's a little cheap. Yeah, it doesn't look great enough, right? Where your main character is actually hand-animated and all the frames and sick as shit. So he's not puppet-tooled.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Yeah, well, we thought about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Because, you know, with a lot of time in the beta, well, a lot of time that I had in the beta, now it'll be talking about the new heroes, how they feel, the balance, the new maps, you know, all that sort of stuff. I'm very excited about it. But there's been so much hype on the internet just regarding how awesome their cosmetics are and how, you know, they already showed off. Somebody leaked that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
I think Mike is a little bit out on it, only because there was a long break, and you just feel like the hype kind of died down for it. I'm super in. I've been excited for this ever since we got our hands on the beta. And there was a couple of different... Alpha or beta periods, I forget. I had a great time with it. It's third-person Overwatch with...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
you know, a lot of, every character is just like, oh, it's like this character from Overwatch with that character from Overwatch. And a lot of the movesets are super similar. There's a lot of analogs you can make mentally to go, oh, this character plays like so-and-so. Okay, that makes sense to me or whatever. I had a great time with it.

That's pretty tempting. Who's that? You and Mike? Yeah. Well, because they... For the longest time, we've been waiting for ranked squads. Because, you know, when they introduce competitive play where you will play enough to get a rank, that drive to try to get a rank and try to get better and see yourself, like, climb into a higher rank is always so exciting. And... But it was ranked solos.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I'm not going to hop in by myself and just play with five randos or four randos. I don't need some dude yelling at me about, I don't play League of Legends. You're telling me shit I don't know, right? So ranked duos, that's pretty tempting. That could be a cool sort of thing to maybe hop in. Or maybe we torture Nick and make him play or something like that.

And last night... How was that, Paul? I mean, just a lot of games got in the way, Tim. And then last night, you could blame one of our coworkers because when I hopped on, I was like, here's the backlog.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
It's such a toss-up for me. I really... I could see it going... I wouldn't be surprised if either version happened, right? I think it's... With a lot of games, we've seen recently... I'm always of the mentality that releasing a game on PC later on, you give it like an extra boost and it's almost like having a diet version of a release date, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
You can kind of re-promo it and get more hype generated for a whole brand new audience. And it's going to be a really massive audience on PC. But the other side of me has seen the more recent failings of Sony and their PC output where God of War... Was it Ragnarok that already came to PC? Both of them are there now.

And they said, oh, don't worry. He asked us what he should play. Option three was other. And he said, other will be just GTA three. So that won the vote. And he played war zone anyway. Of course. So you could blame him for the backlog. Not really having a whole lot of importance. Yeah. The momentum slowing down a decent amount. Although at night. Oh, I also echoes a wisdom.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
And The Last of Us and Horizon and all that stuff, I just feel like hasn't... It didn't really make waves. And maybe it's because the titles are a little bit underwhelming, but maybe it requires something like a Demon's Souls remake to go to PC or something like that. Maybe it's the time between the releases that just made those releases... Come out that day and everybody was like, eh, yawn.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Let me move on with my day. It just feels like I was always of the mind that that's such an easy win for publishers and developers. And now these recent PlayStation releases haven't really had me feeling that way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
You know what I mean? They want to see that number higher than Black Myth Wukong for the records that that broke when it was on PC. Yeah, so... We'll see. Just don't put it on Rockstar Club or whatever the fuck your launcher is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
It's got to be on Steam. It's got to be on Steam. But I also think they got the juice to kind of put it wherever the hell they want. Yeah. They'll say, this game's only available at this one fucking restaurant here in Ohio.

I mean, they don't have to be physical, right? No. Just on the little machine. So the tsunami also affected all the other games. Only three games survived in the online library or the digital library. Enough water from the tsunami hit a couple of mega chips and bits that all the library was wiped out except for three games.

Dude, I'm with you because I think we need to have more of an official talk, even more official than the other one that we had during that one meeting because I... I'm with you that at any given point, I could put it in my top 10. But I don't know if I should because it's early access. That's on them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
That's how it goes. I don't like the responsibility here, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
It's fucking good. Here's the other thing. Another very highly rated game of the year. Another unknown that I talked about one time on Games Daily, and it's not selling as well as it should, but the ratings... You go to Metacritic, it's one of the highest rated of the year. Not a whole lot of ratings, but they're all up there. Arco. Arco. A-R-C-O. Unfamiliar.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Arco is a little kind of exploration story game, and then you... When you go into these turn-based battles, they're not really turn-based. Like, they...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
um it's really hard to kind of explain how the combat works because you're kind of like you make your dude move this way and then the the enemies will like when they shoot you you want to be sure you're kind of running in real time and uh this thing's got like a 89 on metacritic or something like that like everybody who's played it freaking loves it it's just like a
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Apparently it's only 10 hours long, so that's pretty, you know, giving me confidence right there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
But it's just got this really fascinating combat system that a lot of people enjoy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
It's like real-time slash kind of strategy combat. Mix. And it's just got a good little art style. Arco. Cool name for what it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Oh, Arco. A Mesoamerican fantasy RPG that blends turn-based and real-time combat. Explore the world through three handcrafted stories forged in bloodshed, laced with magic, and united by revenge. Super cool. It's pretty cool. I only play a little bit of it, and I want to hop in more, but the backlog just continues to get heavier and heavier. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
And my lower back cannot handle this stress and weight.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
I love the art style. That looks fantastic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Yeah, since we're kind of light on news, shoot, might as well bring up another game. Kevin, if you could bring up the other game that I put into assets. Because it hit 1.0 today at the worst possible time. We got Path of Exile 2 coming out. That's true. We got Marvel Rivals. We got Indie coming out. This is like a really jam-packed freaking weekend.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
But this other game is a game that I got to play quite a bit. I ended up buying it in early access and it hit 1.0 today. It's called Battleshapers. It's a really bad name. I've said that many times before as well. They didn't listen to my advice, so... But it's a first-person shooter that's Doom with Mega Man. And it is basically like a first-person Mega Man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
A lot of bullet hell style stuff with first-person action. Really, really fast. But anytime you... And it's roguelite as well in nature, but you are still going after... It's all of the figs. Yeah, you're still going after the bosses that are very Mega Man-like. And they're all kind of like, I don't know, here's... A bird from this environment. Or an iguana from this environment. Storm Eagle.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Oh, the coolest, dude. And you take on these bosses, and then when you beat them, you get their powers and their suits that upgrade your suit. Similar to what Mega Man would do. That's why I vibed with that game so much as a kid.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
I got to assume that that's what the tech is called. I don't remember if that's the terminology they use in the game, but at first I thought that was like a translation thing. It just kind of sounds like a goofy name to us over here, but I think that's an actual piece of tech in the game, Kevin.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
That's sick. You go to their worlds to then sort of take on... I gotta assume there's... An order to do things where the fire boss will make things easier against the grass boss or whatever the hell. I don't even know if there is a grass boss, but you know what I mean. I think it's really cool looking. It's got a neat art style.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
I don't like that it's December already. I've been on the record on that many times. I think we need to do something about it. Okay. I think we should write to people, to officials, because it was too fast. As I was streaming last night, I was just already thinking about what does the top 10 start to look like? How do I massage the list?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Kind of reminds me of Overwatch with its art style, but it's just got that sort of fast, you know, shots are coming at you, you're dashing, you shoot that one thing that now has electric powers because you beat one other guy earlier. And every time you pick up a new weapon, it's like, oh, this one's an upgrade and more damage, all that fun stuff. Such a sucker for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Is it just Steam, it looks like? Just Steam for right now, yeah. Gotcha, cool. So it was in early access for quite some time, and then it finally hit 1.0 today. Again, real bad timing, but I'm definitely going to give this some time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I'm not surprised that they're saying, yeah, Nintendo doesn't love talking tech that deeply, right? I was as surprised as they went into it yesterday. I was surprised by even seeing numbers like 120 frames per second. Or hertz.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
I was just fucking shocked by that shit. Legitimately, I was very, very surprised by all that. Sure, not the normal way out. I expected them to have some little mascot logo. Like, I'm higher frame rate. I'm higher frame rate Harry or whatever. But yeah, it doesn't surprise me that they don't love going into detail like that. That's all stuff that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
I expect them to sort of be like, eh, we'll let NVIDIA talk about that later. And that seems like a very normal thing for them to do. Let them talk about all the dorky shit. Let them give info so Digital Foundry can put out a video telling you what the power exactly is sort of comparable to. Because when the chipset was first leaked, everybody, including people like Digital Foundry,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
looked at comparisons and said, all right, it's similar to this GPU that was like an internal laptop GPU, but it's more modernized, so expect power a little bit higher than a PS4 Pro, and that's kind of where people were gauging it, but they were like, again, this is a more modern chipset, so it's not a one-for-one thing because... You know, it's a bit more modernized.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
It's just a newer piece of hardware. So I'm not surprised by any of that, Greg. Can I bring in NVIDIA?

I saw a Blue Sky post from Jason Schreier who was at the event and mentioned that Cyberpunk was running docked at 40 frames per second. Okay. And sort of, you know, they're kind of... This is enhanced or whatever, 40 frames per second. Yeah, yeah. And followed by an oof, parentheses oof, right? That's not great, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
You would expect maybe if we're not getting ray tracing to at least have 40 frames per second. I'm not sure what the exact visual quality there was, but after watching the homies over at Digital Foundry kind of break down what they were seeing,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Because I didn't play Cyberpunk on console, they were just mentioning how much better the image quality already was compared to the console versions, compared to just Xbox and PS5, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Yeah, like just in terms of... It looks like they were going for a higher sort of... I guess a higher level of visual fidelity, and then maybe they're sacrificing that frame rate. I'm not sure what the game's going to have at launch, but all of this makes sense in that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
It's capable, this piece of hardware is capable of getting ray tracing at a most likely, you know, smaller amount of frame rate. Around 40 frames per second. Maybe you get what Spider-Man was able to do where they say you're getting very, very limited amount of frame rate or a limited amount of ray tracing, right? Where it's like, We'll give you ray-traced reflections, and that's about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
You're not going to get ray-traced shadows or ambient occlusion, which adds a lot more processing power. But, you know, if Mario's walking over the water, you'll see reflections in real time. Who knows if that's even a possibility, right? I'm not surprised by any of this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
I'm super stoked that this piece of hardware seems way more capable than we initially thought because the PS4, when they mentioned this new chipset is more powerful than what the PS4 Pro was able to do, the PS4 Pro could not do ray tracing. It just didn't have that hardware capability. And with NVIDIA kind of working in overdrive on this chipset, making sure that it runs efficiently.

I guess when I'm thinking about battery life, I... if you're trying to play Metroid at 120 frames per second, which is still mind-blowing that that's even possible, even hearing Bless and Tim talk about it on the Gamescast this morning, just expect a lot less battery power, obviously.

Whether it be a PC, whether it be a PlayStation. So blown away to just see 2160p here on the like what i'm excited for is for the switch to kind of just teach the layman about numbers i saw a couple people yesterday during our stream being like it just says it does up to 2160 though like i thought this was 4k it's like well honey that is 4k 3840 by 2160 is 4K.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
I don't care. I was also listening to a couple of Nintendo podcasts or Nintendo just reactions from people who maybe are just Nintendo-centric and hearing them talk about these terms like it's...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Yeah, this seems like the way that I would prefer to play. I know Blessing was a bit confused by the auto-aiming nature in Metroid, where when you do lock on, you just sort of snap to the enemy, right? And that is still a completely viable way to play and enjoy Metroid. And then hearing Tim talk about how he was kind of infusing both of those methods...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Where he'd be locking on to somebody way over here on the left side of the screen and would notice something pop up on the right. So then he would unlock on, whip that mouse to the right, then lock onto the dude who was like, you know, almost further than a 180 away from him, right? I just love the idea that this seems like a viable tactic. It looks uncomfortable as hell.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
And I hope we get some third-party accessories to kind of make it more mouse-like.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Yeah, I thought it would be a bit more of a... a labored mechanic. Go into the settings, maybe restart the game. Exactly, exactly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Yeah, it seems really neat that they are kind of catering to it just being convenient, right? Yeah. Like, whatever the player wants to do, maybe they're... I think because Metroid Prime has a lot of different mechanics built into it,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
There might be some stuff that you might prefer just doing with the mouse, and then there would be other stuff where you go, all right, back to controlling mode or whatever. I like that sort of flexibility. I still do think it looks kind of uncomfortable, just kind of having your hand all in a weird position. A tiny mouse? Yeah, and just placement of your index finger on the trigger and all that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Now, I'm not surprised by controlling stuff on the mouse, because I think they were mentioning on the... Whatever becomes your mouse hand would have some sort of button functionality as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Right, so that's totally normal for me. I... I always have not only the two mouse buttons that you're clicking, but then the thumb buttons. The thumb buttons are always used by me in games. And I always set one of them melee and one of them to dash or whatever. And so that's all just already in my repertoire. So this seems totally up my alley. The game looks so fucking good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
It looks so visually impressive. And dude, I thought when we first saw that trailer of it on the direct last week or whatever it was, I was like, man, this looks way too good to be just Switch 1 hardware.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Yeah, yeah, just really kind of puts me in a mood, you know? Yeah. What was that? Someone interrupting my thing? Is that what it feels like?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
And maybe that was just a Switch 1 trailer still, but maybe it's not a fair comparison, because I just think back to whenever Metroid Dread would do the zoom-in shots on Samus, and you see, wherever there's an indention line in her armor, you see the fucking...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
low-res texture trying to make a... And I always felt like whenever we saw glimpses of Dread or glimpses of Prime 4, it always looked a lot cleaner. Now, granted, those things are made to be clearer because it's first-person view and your mates always see them up close, where with Samus, with Metroid Dread, it's always really far away.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
And they'll zoom in every now and then, but don't expect it to look the best because that's not how it's intended to be most of the time. But yeah, this game looks so stunning and retro is really cooking visually on it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
That's fine if you think that. Whatever, yeah. I'm happy you think that, but why not want more? Why would you settle for that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Yeah, you get that whiplash. That's fine. I mean, look, hey, you control the buttons you press, like that Doom fucking tweet. You could do whatever you want. I just think that we've gotten to the point with framerate where...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
you know hey 720p is fine for you too like why not just play at 720p if you want less of an experience right sure why not want faster frame rate because not only looks smoother but it responds quicker that's the most important thing it's not just a look thing it's a feel thing as well and that the feel thing is such an easy thing to kind of disregard because it's hard to show that off if i show you when i when i did my blood board mod thing

And I had to fight one of the bosses on 30 frames per second. So I had to use my other PS5 to fight one of the bosses. I was like, oh my God. And then we switched back and all of the chat was like, holy shit, my eyes feel clean now. And it's not just a look thing. Obviously the look is massively different, but it's the feel thing for me.

I had misunderstood what this was initially because I saw the post on the Slack early this morning and initially I thought it was just a... an aesthetic kind of covering or an aesthetic sort of like, hey, whatever camera, if you buy the Switch camera, it's boring and it looks just like a normal Logitech or whatever, but here's this little decorative thing you can kind of surround it by.

I'm not excusing this. But I don't understand why people are this surprised by... I'm totally with Barrett's thoughts yesterday where Barrett kept on saying, look, I hope it's $400, but I'm mentally preparing myself for a $600 price. And to me, that's a totally viable thought because it's like... Everything sucks. Not that I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised if it was $600, but I'd be like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Yeah, fuck, it's 600. That's the reality that we're in now. And when you can't even afford to buy things that are necessary to live and to survive, and houses have been just this commodity that are not, you know, they haven't been affordable for a decade or so.

I work at GameStop, and we have prices in our internal system for each game. And it looks like they are going for a tiered thing. Again, these are American prices.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
So the $80 tier would be Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Kart, Mario Kart Jamboree, plus Jamboree TV. Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The $70 tier, Donkey Kong, Breath of the Wild. $60 tier, Street Fighter VI. $40 tier, Bradley Default. Looks like they're going for this sort of tier structure.

And this also just feels like a... a big precautionary move from Nintendo. I agree with that. Look, everybody knows me. I'm the centrist. It's kind of funny. I don't lean any way politically. No, but I think things would have, you know, I think the prices still would have been expensive under Biden for. Oh, sure. This isn't a presidential thing. I think things are.

Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
But I don't know if we... I still kind of feel like we would have seen these prices from Nintendo anyway, tariffs or not. I think having that jump would have gone up, maybe not on the console hardware, but I think on the software, I wouldn't have been surprised to have seen that $10 jump. I'm surprised to see the $90 number anywhere being listed from a Nintendo product.

Yeah. Federal minimum wage has been $7.25 or $7.50, I'm sorry, since 2009. In 2009, movie tickets were $7.50 on average. In 2009, video game prices were $60. Video game prices have been the thing to have been infected the least by inflation, possibly because they were already at a certain price point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
But the way everything has gotten more expensive since then and federal minimum wage has remained unchanged since 2009. You can't talk about this without talking about politics. I'm sorry. For the stick-to-gaming crowd, fucking shove it up your ass.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
I incorrectly corrected myself. Federal minimum wage is $7.25 since 2009. I said $7.50. It's still $7.25 in the last 26 years. No, 16 years. I'm sorry. and people are still around the country feeling, obviously state by state, state minimum wage in California is up to $16, which is great. It obviously costs a lot more to live here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25

I have a little bed tray that I started. I put my laptop on when I don't want to steam deck and be in an awkward position and all that. And I have a little bed tray that kind of goes over my thighs. Thick thighs save lives. Yep. I have a little cup holder in there as well. Put some goldfish crackers. Maybe some reduced fat Cheez-Its.

It's unclear which genre of StarCraft the game will be, and Overwatch Mobile has reportedly been referred to internally as Overwatch 3, suggesting this new version may bridge the gap between the current console version of the game and a mobile version. Nexon is perhaps best known for The Finals, the popular online shooter developed by Nexon subsidiary Emark Studios.

I don't know if mobile gaming in this way will ever hit on a level the way it has in every other country ever, it feels like. I just... I don't really see the appeal to mobile gaming in a first-person shooter.

Yeah, that's exactly where I'm at with it. It really is, to me, in the Roblox area of gaming, where it is so massive, it is just a part of everyday life for a lot of people, but... But I can't imagine that this makes a whole lot of people that are super stoked about StarCraft, who maybe don't listen to games daily, that have been waiting for a new StarCraft in forever.

copies who put the who tried it who tried it you tried it you said it was cute tried physical copies uh shipped to the store rather than 1 million copies sold directly to customers the number of players reached by the game is likely far higher thanks to the inclusion of game pass on both console and pc however sandfall has yet to release those numbers publicly the thing with the banana in the article is that you got to place it by like a proper noun

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
And I think that they did a decent enough job as it is with the amount of sorting you can do, but they can definitely push it further. I was telling Roger, maybe... The word energizing being like, this is going to give you AP in the game. Or the word whatever is like, oh, that's always going to do this in the video game. But when I see those little words, it just becomes noise.

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
And I was like, what if the main word in the skill was bolded or italicized or something? Yeah, stuff like that could help. It becomes like a lot of visual noise. Maybe just... color-coded or something like that, that could help things out a bit.

When we were kind of leading up to the release of it, and we were all playing it, and I was over the moon with this shit, and I overheard... I overheard Roger talking to Tim about it, and Roger being like, oh, yeah, like, you know, Tim being like, oh, so you really like it, Andy? I'm like, oh, I fucking love this thing. And Roger was like, yeah, keep on playing it.

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Don't... And then Roger said, it's good. Like, don't get me wrong, it's good. It's not, like, the most amazing thing, but it's good. It's a really good game that you should play. And... Then we get the new, you know, we're getting more and more rumors about, oh shit, Oblivion's dropping tomorrow.

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
And I'm like, man, maybe I'm the only one who feels that this game is as amazing as it is and like a must play, easiest recommendation of the year. Fuck, I really hope that this game doesn't just get swallowed up by this massive Oblivion release. I'm scared.

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
And I put out on Twitter as if I had never played the game before, but I was like, Microsoft, I need you to delay Oblivion by a week because, you know, we all need to play Claire Obscure. And I'm so happy that despite that massive game getting released, that... a lot of other people felt equally to me because I was like, Oh shit, maybe it's just like a seven or an eight.

Yeah, that's how it feels like to run around as any of the other characters. It's the, hey, I'm getting tired of some sprinting.

And you posted this because Bucky says expedition 33 is the latest game to get unwillingly dragged through gaming Twitter. As people debate the viability of game pass.

than most so i'll say just say yes it is very worth having your game on game pass i'll speak to it from the pov of an indie by the way i have no experience working in the triple a space so i'm not sure what sort of deals are cooked up there but we've shipped two games on game pass and we're very happy with both so all i can say is i'm happy with the experience i've had um and you know i i think that works in certain situations yeah not all obviously i think your game also has to
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
kind of hit right at that right moment and it's really odd to wonder what the right moment is especially when Oblivion just came out it's such a sort of special thing where in any other multiverse maybe the word of mouth does nothing for the game but I truly do think word of mouth really kind of helped propel this video game into another sort of stratosphere in addition to it's insane that there's a hundred units shipped or whatever without game pass who knows how many players are over there yeah

The benefits of the window seat, you can lean against the wall. The benefits of the right seat or the aisle seat, you can get up whenever you want. The middle, it's always like, what could be the benefit here? And there's not really one.

The thing is, what music are they going to play for Blueprints? That's where I'm at. Is it going to be when you start a new run? There's some good ones, yeah. But like... No themes that you go, that's the single. Because it is such a weird game to experience.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
I still think it pops up, though, in the, you know, maybe to the general public, but the people who are largely voting in the Game Awards, which is us and other, you know, gaming outlets, I do think it will pop up there.

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Well, old game is old, you know? Like, that's, you know. I will say another observation I have. Avowed. Outer Worlds 2. Andy Serkis. Little underwhelming in this. Who does he play? Have I met him yet? I don't know. But he's... The thing is, like, he's still... He's still Andy Serkis. Don't get me wrong. But I still wonder, could you all save money if you got just another awesome actor with that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Now, the press is certainly less, right? Because it is really awesome to see Andy Serkis in these posters and in these little social clips and things like that. On the Friends Per Second podcast as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25

after Gamescast is the Last of Us Season 2 Episode 3 review. And after that is the Kind of Funny Podcast. Then the stream afterwards is an NVIDIA sponsored stream for Avowed. And then the Jabroni boys, as I've last heard, as the latest update is that Nick and Mike are hopping in to escape from Tarkov. They are not doing that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
That's probably for the best. Because, you know, Nick Scarpino in Marathon is already tough enough, and that's a game that kind of tells you what to do step by step. When a game is as obtuse as Escape from Tarkov, and it's not holding your hand, and Nick's in it, I just, God bless Mike for even wanting to take on that challenge. Did we ever go back to Pokemon?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25

The main character, Atsu, has a big trauma in her childhood and goes on a journey to get revenge, end quote. The game will see the player hunt down the Yotei Six, a group of warriors that have caused death and destruction across Japan. As the player hunts them down, a sash worn by the protagonist, Atsu, will display the names of the Yotei Six that she is pursuing. So far, I'm reading really well.

They're aware of the players' issues with Ghost of Tsushima 1 and how things can get a little bit repetitive. And I'm super stoked that they want to make this open world as little of a repetitive experience as possible.

I guess what the conditional sequences in this game will be. If you kill the person with the fox mask first, how does the sort of crew react to that? How do the other six get aware of that?

Ich meine, das hat nichts mit der Geschichte zu tun, Tim, aber ich denke, es ist einfach so faszinierend und toll, dass wenn du Berichte oder Interviews oder so lernst, dass es einfach als Hock später veröffentlicht wird.

What would quant... Okay, we're getting into the discussion again, Tim. But for you, what would quantify... What would... What would be a reimagining for you?

If you're the corporate overlord and you've seen several projects like that fail under you, is that really what you're still wondering and asking for, though?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
But I see where you're coming from, though, because, yes, as this year has shown, yes, Concord was like a huge fucking... Oh, shit in the bed type of thing. But at the same time, you did have hell divers, too. So I think I do see where Mike's coming from, where the people who just want to see number go up constantly, constantly, constantly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
They're probably asking, well, why can't you just do another hell divers? Yeah. You know, I do get that.

Really quick, chat reminded me some context of what they were doing from 2020 to 2022. They were support on God of War Ragnarok for those first couple of years that they were owned by Sony. Gotcha. Okay.

Tim was really hot on this one. We're just waiting for Skate. The demo originally came out. The combat mixed with the skating definitely felt weird to me.

I will say, Mike, even if it doesn't hit 1.0, people could still weirdly review it. In early access.

Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
What's the ping looking like? I do see here, just from a quick Google search, GameDeveloper.com, Sony of America representatives are claiming that SOCOM 2 U.S. Navy SEALs has clocked up a record-breaking 22K simultaneous players within its first 48 hours.

Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Yeah, there's absolutely no genre that would be more unkind to you if you want to play solo and hop in without friends. This one, yeah. Because, obviously... You can't really get your work done unless you're playing this character, which is the one that goes invisible. And that's how I was able to get a couple of missions done when I wanted to hop in solo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Maybe when you all weren't online and it's like, oh, I have some time to kill. Maybe I can do a couple of runs and see how this thing goes. But there is no other genre that is possibly worse. Maybe Battle Royale, but to go, all right, I'm going to hop in and try to fill a lobby, and I'm going to try to get two random teammates. It's so hard to communicate.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
The lack of proximity chat, obviously not great. I know that's something that they wanted to hopefully address and see if that's something that they could get working. But it's just... There's a part of me that feels super doom and gloom about it. Even though... I enjoyed my time with it when we played it, but it's not something I would want to go back to and play all the time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
And then you kind of immediately disproved what I said. You're like, yeah, I kind of dozed off near the end. And I was like, okay, I did hear some louder breathing. I started breathing heavy at the end. But I wasn't sure if it was just the breathing or if it was you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Part of me wonders, man, if I want to be a super optimist about this, which I rarely am, but part of me goes, maybe this whole art thing was kind of a blessing in disguise. Maybe this is something to go, shit, not only do we have to audit all these art assets and you know, maybe we can just kind of fully reset everything that we've been thinking about this game so far.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Maybe this is, you know, again, this is an extremely optimist take, and I don't think that 95% of people will agree with me on any of this. But part of me wonders, man, maybe this could be a reset for what Marathon actually is. Maybe this is what you need to see. Like, all right, things already weren't going super great with... how the play test went and people's belief in the product.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Maybe this is a good moment to go, man, take it back to the drawing board. We'll see you in 2028. I don't know. I obviously don't think budgets even work with that. And this is just me throwing out completely hypothetical scenarios. But this isn't a genre that necessarily works with what casual audiences want. And I've seen, on the flip side of that, people go, yeah, but, you know...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
PUBG was a really hardcore battle royale and Epic made it mainstream with Fortnite. This is not that, dude. This is just such a, you don't understand how stressful and awful an extraction shooter can treat you until you've experienced how it can treat you in those worst moments.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Yeah, making this genre kind of viable for the casual audience, I think, is the biggest challenge. I just don't, I don't have a whole lot of faith.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Yeah. I want to, I want to do a super chat real quick from, uh, we have J plays casuals with the $5 super chat. Remember you can get your super chats in here to ask your questions and not, and also support us as a company says what's wild to me is that this isn't the first time Bungie was accused of art theft. What's going on over there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
um and if you recall i believe in 20 2018 2017 there was a uh art theft accusation from destiny 2 uh i believe i have the dates right on that and for me i i think it's so hard to i think it's easy to look at bungee and go what the fuck are y'all doing but it's such a hard thing to even manage. Cause you kind of, you trust your employees. You trust who you're hiring.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
You don't, you know, in any way, look at them and go, ah, man, we'll have to watch you. Cause I don't know if you're going to like steal artists as you just, you see the work come in and you go, all right, hell yeah. You kicked ass. There's, there's never a moment that you as like an art director or something are going, okay, you submitted your files into Jira. We got your new uploads or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
All right, let's scan the internet and let's look at who you can steal. Like that's not really, that's not something that goes through your mind as an art director. You're trying to, as an art team, you're trying to make things look the best as possible. You're not ever worrying about, holy shit, I really hope none of my employees steal stuff from the internet.

Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Well, that was from Destiny 2, though. I think that different teams and different... There could have been just multiple people. Now, for the excuse of multiple leads at Bungie were following this artist on Instagram, I still... That doesn't mean anything to me. That may be a red herring for a lot of y'all, but...

When you're somebody who thinks somebody's art is cool and you go, hey, art director, check this person out. They rock. And they go, oh, cool, I'll give them a follow. And, like, you don't – that's kind of all your – you know, as the art director, you're not going, all right, you submitted in your work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Let me go to all the people that you've recommended art to – let me go to all their profiles and scan through their shit. Like, that's just not how it works. You just – you trust your employees. And for better or for worse, your employees can fuck you over in those moments.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Yeah, I mean, it's it's not good. And I think like there's no real right answer other than now you got to look for some sort of program or service or service that's going to scan the Internet. You know, unless you, you know, give every bungee artist a lie detector. I don't know. Like there's no real right answer here, unfortunately. And by the way, I think stealing art is wrong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
But I'm just like, as an art director, you're not accepting these files from artists and going, God, I hope you didn't steal from anybody. Like, that's just not going through your mind. And I totally understand.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Yeah, so, I mean, an absolutely wild sort of thing happening to a game that was already... not necessarily in the best shape.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Yeah, we'll have to, you know, we'll stay tuned in this story. We'll see what other new reports come out. I hope the best for them because this could be either, this could be a really, really bad, colossally bad situation for Bungie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
I've been corrected by many people saying, like, no, no, no, they're still going. This isn't. But it's called the final shape. Yeah, but it just wasn't. It's the word final. Final Fantasy 17, you know, coming out soon. We'll get into more gaming stories around the industry after a word from our sponsors.

It was. I mean, there were a couple of dorky moments where I was just like. you try this Monster Ultra Blue Hawaiian. He was like, oh, yeah, dude. Like, we were just bonding over our love for energy drinks. The story goes, Hideo Kojima has said that one of his next games, Fizint, won't be released for five or six years. Kojima recently spoke to French magazine Le Film Francois.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
During which he was asked about the adaptation of the Death Stranding film, which is currently in production at 824. And if you'd like to work on more films in the future, when asked if you'd like to direct a film, Kojima replied, I already have. It was called Metal Gear Solid 1 through whatever. He didn't reply that. The actual quote was, oh, yes, I've received many offers after leaving Konami.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Kojima went on to explain that he has multiple video game projects in development and that he may consider making a film once Death Stranding 2 and Fizint are complete. Quote, besides Death Stranding 2, there is Fizint in development. That will take me another five or six years. Maybe after that I could finally decide to tackle a film. I grew up with cinema.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25

Do you think part of him hopes that people forget about OD so he can just work on physics? It is odd he didn't say that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Really odd you didn't say OD, big dog. That's kind of weird. What's up with OD? What's that? I'm not sure. Next question. Yeah, that's one that I think I'm way more fascinated by because... Fizzins, we know, will be a return to form with espionage action. It's why we love Kojima.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
It's why we grew up and people like me were putting him in the people you'd like to meet on your MySpace profile section. I was like, man, one day I want to meet Kojima. And that's what we know and love him for. But this OD project is still kind of looming out there. We've seen a lot of celebrities that are going to be in this OD game. And I just still don't know what the hell it is.

Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Okay. That only really bothers me when... Whenever there are troubles in development, like obviously you could say that right now and there could be troubles in the future, but it's never really bummed me out that much. I just go, all right, I'll put that in the back of my brain. Hopefully I'll remember that later on and I'll get pumped up about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
But it's always nice to have that thought in my mind of somewhere out there. Like in the next four years, Mike, in four years from now, I'll be going... Kojima right now is working on an espionage action game. He's cooking something. And that's so cool to me. You know what I mean? Story number three. Nintendo confirms Switch 2 will include much-requested accessibility feature.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
This comes again from the homie, Jordan Midler at VGC. The Nintendo Switch 2 will support text-to-speech. The feature, which has been shown off in a new gameplay clip of the Nintendo Switch 2's Game Chat feature, shows players typing messages into the system, which are then read by the system itself.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
While currently unconfirmed, the original Nintendo Switch system supported USB keyboards, so it's likely Nintendo Switch 2 will also support the accessory.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
The Nintendo Switch 2 will also support live captions, meaning that a chat box on the side of the screen during game chat sessions will transcribe what other players say into the Nintendo Switch 2 systems, adding a further layer of accessibility. Shout out to you, Nintendo. That's surprising. They're elevating their game on this one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
We're entering the year 2021. Honestly, that's great. No complaints there. It's awesome that Nintendo is listening to feedback and it's likely that they've heard a lot of different, or read a bunch of different articles and going, oh shit, we should add something like that. Why not?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
It won't help. I would say. And I wonder what is going to be the main driver of that, because whenever you try to put on live captions on your phone, your phone will tell you, hey, this is going to drain the battery faster. Obviously, we're not dealing with a battery issue, but we are dealing with a power output issue. And I got to assume that they kind of have a lot of that already prepared.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Like, for example, whenever you record video through OBS on a computer, You're not really pulling from the GPU that's powering your game. You're pulling from like a certain chip encoder that is doing the separate kind of recording or streaming work or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
So they're not like directly interfering or this isn't a Star Trek ship situation where it's like, all right, pull 12% from over there and throw it over here to the engines. I don't think it's that situation. We'll have to obviously probably just watch a future video from Digital Foundry to find out exactly what's happening there tech-wise, but I hope it works out. That's awesome.

Shout out to Nintendo for including more things like that. Story number four. Injustice 3 could be in development according to a multiverses data miner. Once again, Jordan Miller at BGC. The development of a third game in the Injustice series is being teased by a multiverses data miner.

An account that had a history of posting information about multiverses content before it was officially revealed has teased that a new game in the Injustice franchise is in development. Quote, multiverses shutting down is an injustice. Then doing it all again is just another injustice. Oh, snap. No, you didn't do that. Read the post on Twitter from Multiverse Susie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Quote, leaving me without any leaks is yet again another injustice. They continued, Multiverse Susie. Oh, it's Multiverses, but their name is Susie, so it's Multiverse Susie. Multiverse Susie. You can't pronounce it that way. We got a lot going on in that one. They followed up with a reply reading the number three. Both Multiverse and Injustice are games published by Warner Bros.

I know you and me are not generally the big fighting game fans, but I get pumped up knowing that we're going to get, I think, with Injustice and Mortal Kombat games, I would say those are more leaning towards the casual fighting game fans because you could also play those games as a story and see these amazing cut scenes.

From Eurogamer. Infinity Nikki's development team has issued an apology following a recent and poorly received update to the game, which led to an influx of negative feedback on Steam. The developer released version 1.5, which added a number of bugs, which included players being able to start the game on PS5, meaning it had to be redownloaded completely.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Other issues included crashes and Nikki not moving. Goddamn. Yeah, not a good start. Infinity Nikki not being able to move out there. Meanwhile, the developer retconned Infinity Nikki's story, and in the words of one player, quote, dive deep into scummy monetization practices.

Story number one. This comes from Paul Tassi at Forbes. It's a very good article. Recommend everybody looking through the article that Paul, I believe he posted this morning on Twitter and Blue Sky. New marathon info, bungee morale, launch worries, and changing plans. Once again, from Paul Tassi at Forbes. And this also kind of goes along with a lot of people's Super Chat questions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Can Marathon make it? Okay. There's been a lot of people writing in with Super Chats, and we appreciate all that support. I will get into all of that once we do more of our Super Chat section. But the gist of a lot of the questions is, will this work after a really, really chaotic weekend? Yeah. The story goes like this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Chaos has engulfed Bungie after an artist, Antireel, came forward to accuse Bungie of ripping off her 2017 work as its upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon, was starting to take shape as early as 2018. Bungie admitted to the plagiarism, supposedly the work of one ex-artist, and...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
supposedly the work of sorry i read that incorrectly and promise to make things right but the sore gain traction among gaming outlets and reaction streamers alike and it's poisoned the previous positive conversation about the aesthetic of the game i've spoken to some current and former bungie employees uh and their excuse for the art theft studio morale the possibility of a delay and some very real changes when it comes to the upcoming presentation and play testing of the game here's what i've learned
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
the public explanation for the art theft one X employee taking things in 2020 is the same one being given internally at Bungie among the rank and file Sony and Bungie legal are now sorting through this. And there is unlikely to be much new information as all of this continues to unfold.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
It's not clear how long an audit will take of the assets to remove or find any more plagiarism as it's an expansive enough process to have Bungie not even show any footage at all in its recent live stream. Morale is in a free fall across all departments and the vibes have never been worse, quote unquote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Everybody has the same concerns about what happens to Bungie as a studio if Marathon bombs, which is something they absolutely cannot afford. There are even hints or jokes about a delay about the September release date internally. With that said, it is entirely possible, if not likely, those conversations are happening privately between higher-up Sony and Bungie leadership.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
It's unclear what the plan to launch the game is in a, quote, now actively hostile environment, unquote, just a few months from now, or how to turn that around. Some changes to future plans have been made even before this new plagiarism development, mainly as a reaction to gameplay footage and now the closed alpha.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
At the start of this month, Bungie pulled the plug on its main marathon marketing plan, which is going to have a new trailer in June, along with the launch of pre-orders. The whole campaign needs to be reworked now. A heavily marketed public beta in August may be changed into a roadmap of public playtests with no actual details set yet. We can just continue it. Okay.

Maybe. Yeah, we're talking about how Marathon and the future plans are likely changing. So welcome back, everybody. Sorry about that. Little PC blue screen issue, but Barrett on the case, popping off, doing his darndest. Let's continue. This is, of course, from Paul Tassi at Forbes.

I'm ready. I mean, more importantly, Mike, it's the launch week of Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Article about marathon, about the art theft, all that junk, including the game, just, you know, may not be in a great spot. And a lot of the devs may feel similarly. A heavily marketed public beta in August may be changed into a roadmap of public playtests with no actual details set yet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
This would align with Bungie's stated multiple opportunities to play before launch rather than just the upcoming beta. Marathon was originally pitched by higher-up quote-unquote good-old-boy Bungie leadership, and as far back as five years ago, devs were telling them what would and wouldn't work and were often ignored. Many have said previously that it needed more...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
that it needed to have some sort of a PVE component. All of this, between necessary asset auditing, a reworked marketing campaign, and shifting playtest plans, screams of a game that is not coming out in four months, or at the very least, shouldn't be, though there are no indicators of that yet. Whole lot to break down here, Mike. Shout out to Paul Tassi for that fantastic article.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
We saw all this drama kind of unfolding live over the weekend. I think it was also late Friday when they had that bungee sort of sit down, which is normally here's where our game is right now. Here's the cool stuff. We're excited to show you all with some of the leads in the game, but it quickly, they knew, all right, that's not going to be this stream.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Yeah. Oh, big deal. It's a big deal, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
We're going to have to talk about the art asset theft. We're going to have to really dive into that. And I thought they did as good of a job as possible with, Even though that they I think everything is in a rough spot right now and things do not look great. Mike, what are your thoughts on Marathon's future? The start of Marathon?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
I mean, I guess we could start maybe from the art asset portion of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
I also just think it's incredibly tough because it's one thing to really be into somebody's style. You know, when you get together, you kind of figure out what influences can we pull from? What are things we're vibing with? What do we think the game can look like? And for a former Bungie employee to... straight up just rip off assets, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
I remember I went down to sit next to you in the front row after I went to go to the restroom break. And you're like, oh, what the hell? And I was like... You know, the guys up there that I was sitting next to, they weren't giving me a whole lot of room when I walked by. And it was kind of like, I feel like they were giving me a message like, all right, don't be doing this too much. No, really?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
This wasn't a, oh, wow, that's a little too close of an influence. Wow, we could see this is really skirting the line. This isn't a Power World Pokemon thing where, you know, maybe that Pokemon looks kind of identical, but it's got different spikes on it. No, it's like we are seeing the same words being put in little decals around the world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
And yeah, you got to feel terrible for anti-real, but I think on the more positive side, Bungie saying, hey, we obviously don't stand by this, and we will do right by the artist, whatever that means. I think that's a good sign so far.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
I hope they are really, really done well, and I hope that they are compensated for a lot of what has happened to them because, again, this game's whole aesthetic has definitely pulled from a lot of different influences, but a lot of them can be traced to anti-real. Not to say that anti-real is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
extremely that this is the first time we've ever seen an aesthetic like that anti-real is obviously taking influences from a lot of other visual looks in the past but yeah still not a great look art asset wise and um you know that it's it's coming at the worst time possible i think because i am i think i'm on the opposite side where marathons beta closed beta whatever happens
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
And we were seeing throughout the weekend that obviously not a whole lot of invites were going out. I saw people like Paul Tassi posting on, on blue sky and Twitter, not trying to be, you know, doom and gloom about it, but posting the often seen steam concurrence and seeing 700 people playing and saying, Hey, obviously not a great look, but put out more invites, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is it Over For Marathon? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.19.25
Like I feel like the play test was already not conducted super great and And it was made even more clear that once Ark Raiders, in my opinion, put out their beta, that you see, oh shit, Marathon has... It needs more time. You got to let this cook a lot more and see what we can do about this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I think the Ark Raiders beta did show how much further that they have in development because I thought the Ark Raiders beta was... As much as I have not been vibing with a lot of these extraction games... The Ark Raiders beta felt a lot more complete in what they were offering. Now, you as somebody, you know, we've been playing Hunt Showdown recently, Mike. We've been playing.

Very true. Remember how hard it was to just... The amount of time and how long it lasted to get a PS5 during the pandemic. Sure. And it was not just websites being busted or whatever. It was just a supply chain issue and just a lot of issues with manufacturing. If those issues don't really crop up here, then, yeah, we could see these numbers be absolutely nuts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25

Honestly, I think that I think that the Last of Us TV show has been helping out and can continue to help out. And if we continue to have really good, serious adaptations of serious IP, it just teaches people more that games are more than this. I will never forget going back home and having a PS5 that I had sent back to my parents' house.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
Run around in Fortnite, show other people, die. And I was like, well, it's a story that unfolds. It's your character and you get stronger and you have this bond with your son that you're kind of exploring. It is a really adult sort of situation, but you're also fighting as the method of getting through all that. And it blew me away that...

Hopefully, I mean, hopefully, like I was mentioning, these awesome TV adaptations kind of showing people that like, hey, the gaming is more than what you think it is. But also... We have Grand Theft Auto 6 and that going to be the massive phenomenon that it's going to be and kind of maybe just hopefully reignite and make people kind of remember what the medium is.

Because they're all watching anime now. Yep. I think Marvel has a big portion of that as well. There's a lot of kids that would look at a superhero game and go, oh shit, I love watching the Spider-Man cartoons or the movies or whatever. Let me buy that Spider-Man game. Well... I was going to say Elden Ring, but... If we were raising the kids correctly.

I mean, she's also going to be in the Gundam movie, which is huge. I'm at a weird place with even the split fiction news being a thing. I really thought you were going to be Sidney Sweeney. Real racist family. It kind of reminds me how I felt when you go, oh, they're making a twisted metal TV show. Like, there's... Am I in that weird universe where Twisted Metal is like the number one IP?

Not Dark Souls. Yeah, I just think it's kind of odd. I'm happy that video games are getting more attention to... I'm sorry, I got to stab you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
I'm happy that more and more adaptations are... We're sort of... We've eclipsed the comic book movie and we're going into video game movie and more and more of these IP are going to get greenlit. And that's cool because that puts more of a focus and that will hopefully lead to more sales and things like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
But I do think it's kind of odd that a game that came out this year is already kind of getting this level of attention for a movie. Maybe it's just because of maybe it's the source material. Maybe it's like, you know, it's easy, more easily adaptable.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I really cursed him for bringing up this unaccounted hours thing. Yeah. Cause now it's just become Mike staple. Sure. And it's just, yeah. Yeah.

I mean, I don't disagree with that when it just, with you mentioning, you know, it's a, everybody's fighting for time and it's a different era and there's a lot of different video games that people can be playing out there. But yeah, I don't, when are these playtests, who's, are they embargoed? I got to assume. It said playtests in February. People are spending money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
I think what mainly sucks about a lot of the DOA talk with a lot of different games that are trying to exist and trying to have a living, breathing economy, for lack of a better word, is... It's never an indictment on the quality of the game. It's just always where people are at. And I hope that developers know and understand that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
you know, amazing games get canceled and have their servers shut down. And it's never because the game was a bad quality. It's because people would rather be in their spaces where they already were and where their ecosystems are and where their money and their accounts are tied.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
I think it comes down to, do you want a smaller amount of people paying $70 to And having that hardcore audience be like, I care about this. This game is back. It's sort of like the Madden kind of thing where it's like football fans and Madden fans want to get the Madden game every year, right? Yeah. Can you sell a smaller amount of people on a $70 product?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
And is that worth it for your studio to then fund the next thing or whatever? Or the live service game that's free... And we hope a lot of y'all people are spending money on it in order to fund whatever this is. Cause if you're not funding it and if you're not keeping alive, it will die. And that looks like a failure. And I think it's a lot easier to frame the live service stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
Our servers are going down a year and a half after it's easier to frame that as a failure and like, man, what a fuck it. They took a big L there. Then we put out a campaign game. We sold however many copies for 70 bucks. We still made money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
sure we're doing like online things or whatever but it's it's i always go back to the outriders thing them framing it as this is not a live service you play you beat the game you play with your friends and when you're done with the game you're done with the game and it and because of that you can't frame this as an l Because the game is done, you know? Yeah.

I think that there's still the market out there but they have to severely change and rethink what the strategies are because it's clear that this technology will never be a ubiquitous thing.

Yeah, I mean, this is great. This is hopefully... When you have such a large entity like that kind of joining the fray with a lot of other people... Small things like this could start a change to battle back a little bit. It needs to start somewhere. And I'm still super pessimistic about the whole situation. Sure.

Okay, but I look at this and I'm impressed that a computer could do this, but I watch shit to be impressed by people's creativity. I watch it consume media to be like, God damn, a person made this? Holy shit. I'm not watching to be entertained by a computer making whatever. It's always like the human element is why I consume art and media. Fuck, man. It's just... God damn.

And are normalizing it. I legitimately had... Such a fucking depressing weekend. The weekend that... I think it was Twitter AI, or I don't know who was doing it. That when all of the Ghibli films started popping up, or the Ghibli AI images, that whole weekend was like... Some of the saddest I've felt in a long ass time.

Not only because of what it's doing, but the amount of people normalizing it, and then thinking like, man... You're stealing the art style and using a computer to do the White House, making fun of the immigrants, whatever the hell is going on. And you're stealing the style of a person whose sole existence was to be an environmentalist and to be creative.

How dare you tell them to forget about parrying? Yes, you can dodge a whole bunch. You gotta parry. I was working on parrying when I was playing. Parring is way too hard. The window is not as small as you think it is. It's like... You know, I think Elden Ring trained people, Greg, to... Hold the last second? No, to do it way too early.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
Because in Elden Ring, when you're doing, like, your shield bash parry, you want to hit the button, and then you want their attack to hit your shield while it's up here. So you got to do it way earlier. Okay. In Claire Obscure, you lean later towards the attack. So it's like...

No, right when that fucking hits.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
That's so fascinating because Crypt Custodian, the way it operates, it's a top-down, obviously isometric, Zelda-like is what I would call it. And there are certain elements of it that are roguelite-inspired, but it's not a roguelite.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
It's still a story, but you'll walk up to a little shrine or totem or whatever, and you walk up to it and it'll be like, hey, you'll get this sick-ass power right now, but you have to kill five people without getting hit. And so they implement those things in their campaign story game and that are kind of like roguelite inspired of like, all right, big risk, big reward right here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
And it'll be a sick ass power. But if you die, you're dead and you never get this power. So I love how they kind of mix genres. But this game is so cool, man.

Last night was very deflating. And then we eventually had some better fights, but it was still pretty bad overall. A lot of the players doing the Call of Duty jump, Greg. Call of Duty jump? Yeah. Like when you run into a building in Warzone and you see someone just like run around a corner and they go, ah, okay, okay, okay, okay. It's the worst, dude. The worst.

Like, if you turn it sideways, like, you know, like... It's like the box is just a little bit thicker than the actual 4090. Shout out to NVIDIA for sending us an RTX 5090. Let's get in there, dude.

And it's a, look at the thinness difference. Put it down here. So one really, really cool thing is the RTX 4090 is a, it's got the big fan, right? The 5090 has two fans, Tim.

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
But it's also just incredibly thin, meaning that if you have any other slots on the back of your PC that you might want to put your Elgato capture card or whatever other sort of trinkets you want to attach to your motherboard, this is going to afford you a lot more space as well. While... giving you actually better kind of cooling because of the two-fan setup.

And it was this thing, this movement, this groundswell. I think you have... So much more juice putting them all together. And I think, you know, I'm in line right here with Matt and his final quote that Reb has, right? Quote, for third-party publishers, it's looking harder and harder to release exclusively on a single platform without significant incentives provided by the platform holder.

I don't know. what that looks like. And especially if you're Square Enix and you're talking publicly about, well, this didn't live up to hype. And I know Square never has their expectations, if it seems set correctly. We, again, talked to Matt about how people come up with those and what they come, you know, in the boardroom have to look at.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
If that's the case, then I think you look at this and you go, well, this is the way to go, right? For the third one, unless, of course, you're still in some contract with PlayStation that completely disallows that. But for a third party, I just don't know why you wouldn't be putting it everywhere at once and have everyone together. Because when you get to something like this where, hey...

Final Fantasy came to PC in January. Like, to me, that's an old game, even though I didn't play much of it. And I didn't even pay much attention to it coming to PC. Like, all the PC releases from PlayStation, Spider-Man, whatever. Like, it's always just like, oh, okay, cool. And granted, I'm not a PC gamer. I'm not a PC person.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
It was the fact of, holy shit, this PlayStation exclusive is coming to a PC? That's insane. That was the thing. And then it was like... the numbers were never great, great. They were great. 100,000, 128,000 for some reason is hung in my head right now. Maybe I'm thinking of God of War. I don't know. But I remember them being like, okay, yeah, sure, whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
But it was always the thing of like... You're talking about concurrence, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
It was like the, cool, this is something that's happening and is unheard of. And now that like, again, Spider-Man 2 just dropped like last month, week, and it's got a bunch of problems that they've patched out and fixed, but like, okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
And that's the jump, where it's like, if you're a third party, I can't imagine why you're not doing this. I understand the answer is money and marketing. Like, there's a lot of stuff. Like, remember, that's what happens. Why do you get a state of play about... Game X. Why did we get a state of play about fucking Suicide Squad, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Well, it's because they entered into a marketing agreement with PlayStation to provide them. PlayStation gives us the marketing. We give you this exclusive content or whatever it is. We're PlayStation Plus, whatever the fucking deal was. I don't even know if we ever knew. Great. Cool. Same thing here with Final Fantasy, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
We're going to give you a boatload of money for it to help you offset your development costs, and we're going to treat it like a first-party game and put it in X number of showcases and directs or whatever, do these kind of ads, this kind of placement on the store, etc., TV commercials, like, they'll end with the PlayStation logo. That's all happening and great, but it's like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
you know uh predicting or assume i guess like predicting from a feeling side or sure this is what we're seeing actually what the market is a lot of market talk you know i mean we're a mature market now and out of the growth market i was like oh that's cool that's cool to hear and not because it's actually kind of bad but it's like good cool of like oh you're saying it in a more adult way than what we say yeah we're like we hit the ceiling no more gamers no more gamers gamers no more
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
The sales are a disappointment to Square. Was the financial equation a disappointment to Square? Are they happy in the end with the amount of money they made off of Final Fantasy Rebirth? And then you get this double dip, which is a good thing. Over here, Volk Dasher, Super Chat and Set. I don't know Volk Dasher from a hole in the wall, right? But PC games are a few... I'm sorry.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
pc sales are a few hundred thousand last i heard uh with that playstation uh five sales of three to four million still would fail expectations no one cares for the 50 copies xbox would have sold this is not an exclusive question this is a square problem which i do agree with i do think square has unrealistic unrealistic expectations for most of their games as you talk about with like tomb raider and all this other shit which i know they don't have anymore but when they did they were very you know
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
This game came out, we all loved it, critically acclaimed it, and they were like, just didn't meet expectations. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? Like, how does that... Who's making these expectations?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Yeah. I mean, PC gaming is crushing and will continue to crush. And I think as you, like, I can't, I keep talking. When do you think, We're getting the next Steam Deck. That's my big thing right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Because I'm ready for a new Steam Deck.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
And I didn't do that because I just bought the original one. Yeah. But now I've committed and I play enough Steam Deck all the time that I'm like, when the next one comes, I can justify paying for that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
That's the biggest thing for me is I don't know what I don't know. And so I know Steam Deck and I know the Steam interface and I use it quite often. And I think it's so simple for everything we do. You know, we got ROG Ally, right? They sent me a blessing one. Mine, unfortunately, arrived broken. We're like, I can't charge it, so I can't turn it on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
And so I need to send it back, but I've been on dice and this and that, so I haven't had time to actually do it. I'd love to test it out and kick the tires, but again, that makes a lot of sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
I don't want to play with you anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
You know, it's going to happen. No big deal. They've been great about it. Just send it here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Sure. Well, that was the whole thing. And that's why, of course, our friends at Razer hooked me up with that Razer Blade 18. That was the whole thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Because I was like, I wanted to run. I was thinking about it. I didn't want to have dual boot or whatever the shit. So I was like, wait a second. You guys loaned me a laptop. They're like, sure, of course. And I loved that thing. I loved that. And now they got a 16 coming out this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Well, I still showed him my backpack. Don't worry about it. Oh, nice. Okay. I mean, you understand. You've seen me on an airplane. I look like what I envisioned Langley and Neely to look like, right? I'm 6'3". I'm hunched in this little spot. Imagine me then when I dragged out the 18-inch laptop and folded it open.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
I was playing about by the Wolverine underneath the tray table, but I'm all hunched in. No way. The guy next to me was playing a fucking mobile game. I'm over here and I got a giant headset on. I'm like, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Dude, I want them. If I can have that great... I mean, you've seen me with the X-Screen from my Xbox Series S. I bust that shit out on a plane, too. And it's also like, I'm gigantic and I have the tray and then I fold this thing up in front of my face and I'm just sitting there like this. I'm a gamer, bro.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
The sirens are on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
I like that. We have conversations here. I want to get into. I don't want to push it because there's more reps thing here, right? Because we're going to move away from this. Yeltsin says it didn't sell 50 million copies. So it's a fail for square. Understandable again with how they are. James says, how much does the recent negativity towards games play into sales anymore?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Gamers negativity towards games is at an all-time high. This is an interesting question. One you can only hypothesize on, I imagine. You can't come in here and be like, oh, this is that, blah, blah, blah. I would say not at all. I think that gamers have always been a negative Nancy bunch who want to obsess and be weird about weird shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
And I think that the overwhelming majority of people don't even know that gamers are bad. They're just like, I play my game and do my thing. Barrett's here with a box of donuts that's already been out there. What's going on?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Wasn't there one morning where both of you got donuts? That's great. No, there was one morning. Yeah. Where specifically I think it was maybe anniversary stream where I do want one, but I'll need it because I'll eat it out there. But it was anniversary stream where, yeah, like Joey the night before was like, I'm going to bring bagels. I'm like, awesome. And then that morning.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
He's had a shitload of donuts. A lot of donuts. Great time around here. Except Tim who also, Tim's the same way. Like, oh, they're going to kill us. Dude. I hate him. That's good.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
I'm going to move on just to this next part of the thing. We can get back maybe at the end. Moving on with Reb's report about NPD, a.k.a. Sarkana, I should say. As for the rest of the charts, it will surprise no one that Call of Duty Black Ops 6 was the best-selling game of the month again, followed by Madden NFL 25.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Yeah. Dude, but do you see it? Because I have gigantic eye bags, but I just don't even pay attention or think about it. You know what I mean? Kevin, give me the digital zoom. I'll do like the DMV photo where I just stand completely still. What I want... Digital Sim's broken. Digital Sim's broken. What I want... We don't have that technology anymore.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
The only new release cracking the top 20 in January was Donkey Kong Country Returns on Nintendo Switch, which reached number eight purely on the basis of physical sales. What? Parentheses, Nintendo does not share digital sales data for its eShop.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Of course, he wants to make it happen. That's crazy. He wants to be that sunken-eyed Donkey Kong in Mario Kart. Wow, that's impressive. Also notable was the return of It Takes Two to the top 20 in spot 20. There's no single reason for this, Piscatella told me.

Today in the nerdy news you need to know about, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's PC debut leads to redemption. Why Avowed didn't let you romance, folks, and a beloved games industry icon has passed away. We'll have all this and more because this is Kinda Funny Games Daily. What's up, everybody? Welcome to Kinda Funny Games Daily for Friday, February 21st, 2025.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Quote, there have been promotions happening during the month, including the last week of January on both PlayStation Store and eShop, he said. But really, It Takes Two had pretty steady sales all month. But it was in December that It Takes Two really started its latest rally with both sales and engagement upticks that extended into January. End quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Notably, much of the promotion for It Takes Two comes ahead of the release of Hazelight Studios' next game, Split Fiction, releasing in March. Quick aside there. Damn. Fuck yeah, It Takes Two. I love the fact that, again, people are paying enough attention to announcements, game award things, you assume if it's starting in December, sales. You love to see it actually work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
We talk about the marketing of a video game failing all the time, but the idea that they nailed this, they knew what they were doing, and they got it in the right thing, and they built up to this. But I was shocked as well. We're always the next thing, the next thing, the next thing. The new game, the new game, the new game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Most of the time when we talk to people about video games, I'm talking to somebody who is excited for the next thing, the current thing, whatever, right? Someone up here in our space, kind of funny best friend. Of course... We are selling over on kindoffunny.com slash store the Portillo Pasta, a collaboration with our friend Tony from Mill Valley Pasta.

And I stopped into the shop the other day when I was off with Ben. We were out running errands, right? I drove over there, drove up there. And went in there, was talking to him, and he was like, yeah, you know, my brother's visiting. So I come home, and he's playing my Switch, and he's playing Zelda, and he's playing it terribly. He's not a gamer. He's not good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
It's one of those, like, how have they evolved since I've tried it out? He's like, do you have any recommendations for a game we could play together? He's like, I don't want to... He's not going to be good at... I'm like, stop it right there. It takes two. Go get it. It takes two. He's like, what's that? I'm like... You're this couple that's about to divorce, and you have to work on it.

Did I sell them a game that isn't local? Shit. No, they must have a local on Switch.

Jen bought me... Because I don't notice them or care. But for some reason, I was like, oh, they were, like, miscolored one day. They were discolored one day. Your eyes? The bag. Oh. You know what I mean? Because I was, like, so sick or so tired. I was like, man, maybe I should get, like, you know, the eye patches. Because that's what I buy, like, face masks for Jen's stocking.

And again, to talk about and just, you know, totally... put over Joseph Ferris and Hazelight. A studio that's committed to one thing. This is what we believe in. This is what we want to do. These are the games we're going to make. We're not going to go do a live service, whatever. We're not going to do this thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And there is a countdown clock. We are counting down to whatever they are teasing, which we assume is Tony Hawk 3 plus 4. Are you excited, Andy? I'm excited for Tim. I'm excited for Tim as well. He, of course, freaked out yesterday on the show. No, two days ago? Whatever. He's freaked out on the show this week.

But I don't see it when I look at myself. I just see a very handsome man. Now, granted, it's because I've just been getting better. I've just been getting more handsome. I was so ugly. Like a wine. Yeah, wines get handsome with age.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
No, I'm excited for Skate. I was always a Skate guy. For Tony Hawk, I didn't like Tony Hawk, and I know I'm crazy until Thug, until Underground, where it was like, oh, we're off the board, we're running around, we're doing things. There's a narrative. I didn't just like the combos and the tricks and stuff. That was never my shtick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Sure. Sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
We'll find out in 10 days sometime there, March 4th, right around the corner. More breaking news from You're Wrong. Gresnik writes in to say Barbara Walters died in 2022. Ah, rest in peace. Didn't know that. We missed that. Good thing we still got Hugh Downs. Moving on to number two on the Roper Report. I texted Tim the link while we were in ad break. He just responds back, holy fucking shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
I can't believe it. Number two on the Roper Report. Avowed Director explains why the game has no romance options. This is Blair Marnell at GameSpot. The option to romance NPC characters in RPGs has been around for a long time, and even recent titles like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 offer that feature to players.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
However, Avowed is bucking that trend by almost completely removing players' ability to court their companions. According to Avowed Director Keri Patel, she made the decision to downplay romance because she felt it takes away from the experience of playing the game. While appearing on IGN... Yeah, okay. On IGN's Unlocked podcast. Is it not? Is it... The podcast Unlocked, right? No?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Let's stop talking about our eye bags and talk about video games instead because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily. Each and every week down a variety of platforms, we run you through the nerdy news you need to know about live on YouTube.com slash Kind of Funny Games, Twitch.tv slash Kind of Funny Games, and podcast services around.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
That's probably... Podcast Unlocked.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Why is GameSpot dragging the name? Why are they screwing up the name?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
While appearing on IGN's Podcast Unlocked. Patel revealed that she believes the romantic options in RPGs, quote, undermine that core experience, end quote, and practically invite players to focus more on the romance than the story or even the characters themselves. Instead, Patel favored a more natural form of bonding with the player's companions that doesn't end with two characters in bed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Quote, my hope with players and their companion relationships in Avowed is that they would feel natural and players would get out of them exactly what they want and exactly as much as they put in, she said. She added that it is supposed to be like, quote, you're getting to know some new friends, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
The decision made Avowed an outlier in the genre, especially since Baldur's Gate 3 had so many romantic options to choose from. Thus far, Xbox Game Studios and Obsidian Entertainment haven't announced how many copies Avowed has sold since its release on February 18th. The game received a Day 1 patch earlier this week to address some issues found in it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
The developers have previously explained why Avowed isn't an open-world game, but fortunately, there is still a lot of territory that can be explored. Andy, Cortez, Nitro, Rifle. You and I love Devout. I'm liking it a lot more now. I was wondering about that. 7-5, of course, Paris gave it a 9-5. You at the time gave it a 7. I was wondering if you've played more from the review.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Has your asterisk score moved at all? Are you still saying 7?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
About a really cool game. I think it's awesome. A 7.5, I really enjoyed. I'm glad so many people are connected with it. I appreciate the criticisms. None of my criticisms were ever romance related. Same. It's that thing where, you know, when we did the Hot Takes episode or whatever, I remember Imran wrote in, I believe, or maybe called in or whatever it was. It was Imran, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
But he wasn't on the show, right? It was something he wrote in of, like, romance options in games are dumb. And as much as I love a romance option here and there, I agree that oftentimes they are very forced, and then you get to the culmination, and it really doesn't feel like I've made a connection. So it's like I did not miss it in about at all.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
It's a system. But I think that's the thing. When you make it a system, it actually works against it in a lot of ways. What I did like about Avowed was... Spoilers. Not really. But I guess if you want nothing about whatever. Eventually, you're having a conversation in the game as your character. And they ask you if there's someone waiting for you at home. And you have... A myriad of choices.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Yeah, I have somebody waiting for me. I've loved and lost. No, I've never known love. And I was like, I like that better where I'm already crafting a narrative in my head for my envoy of what it was like with the emperor based on the story. And so then to give you stakes in the game in a different way of like, am I also inventing a relationship or none or whatever? I like that part.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

She's very ready for those mods to pop up on Nexus Mods. If you would like to see more avowed gameplay, apparently Nick is streaming it next week. But the one and only Foxy Steve in the chat said they are streaming it this weekend on Twitch.

Oh, that's beautiful. Another beautiful thing. How do you know so much about Foxy Steve? I caught the comment. I thought I'll throw that in there. I like to do that. I like to take care of people. Another beautiful thing for me. A console gamer who says PCs, who needs it? Number three on the Roper Report. Some games run better on older GPUs than on NVIDIA's new 50 series cards.

This is Hayley Williams at GameSpot. Is Hayley Williams also the singer of Paramore? Exactly right. That's awesome. What a dual threat. Game journalism. Hayley, you need it on stage. I got to file this NVIDIA report for GameSpot, everybody. NVIDIA's new 50 series graphics cards just aren't as good at running certain older games as previous hardware generations were.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Some PC gamers have discovered with its latest generation of GPUs. NVIDIA has quietly removed support for physics, a physics simulation technology that we used in a number of popular titles in the early 2010s.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
In a Reddit post as spotted by The Verge, one user questioned why PhysX was suddenly turned off by default and when turned on was forced to run the CPU, causing major performance issues in games designed for GPU-enhanced PhysX. Responding to a post on the NVIDIA forums, the company confirmed that PhysX has effectively been discontinued due to NVIDIA ending support for the 32-bit CUDA application.

Applications for the 50 series graphics cards in future generations. While the end of the support for the 32-bit Kuda was noted in a brief support article, NVIDIA never explicitly mentioned the impact to PhysX or noted which games might be impacted by the sunsetting of this technology. Now, Andy, I got three more paragraphs, but I'd rather just get you here.

I was doing something special. Cause I texted Nick the day before. I'm like, Hey, good news. I got face paint and I got big league chew. And he's like, great. I'm in. And then when we were, I was like, Hey, I'm going to go do my face paint. Are you in? Are you out? He's like, I got to do this stupid thing for the wall, but Andy's in. And I thought he was joking like you.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
To close out the article here, or at least our reading of it, Paramore's Haley Williams from GameSpot does say previous NVIDIA generations, including the 40, the 30, and the 20 series, will continue to support 32-bit CODA applications, meaning gamers who want to play them may be better to stick to an older graphics card for the time being.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
And I spent many an evening congregating there with the friends of Carter Lipscomb. Like many in the video game community, I saw Carter at... I keep saying Carter because I always knew him as Carter. I don't like saying his last name here. I'm just being weird about it, but whatever. I saw Carter at the recent Dice Summit in Las Vegas where he gave me one of his bear hugs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
On Carter's Facebook page, former Iron Galaxy's co-CEO Adam Boyes wrote in the post, quote, This is the greatest Carter post he never wrote. I loved him so much and we were all so lucky to have met him and for him to have blessed our lives. RIP, brother. The cause of death wasn't disclosed, but Carter had a history of heart disease.

He collapsed during a run some years ago and was resuscitated by a good Samaritan who knew CPR. There was an outpouring of game community support at the time.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
And then Sean Layden, former chairman of Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios, said in a message, quote, the one person in gaming everyone loved, end quote. So super sad, unexpected news yesterday. I know for many of you, you do not know Carter. I knew Carter through a group of friends, right? Through people. I was never very close to him, but I didn't know him.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
And I obviously am very sad for his passing, but more, of course, well, I shouldn't say more. I'm sad for his passing, but it's more seeing my friends right now deal with the unexpected death of someone they were also close to, right? This is home for a lot of people in the industry right now. Carter was a great guy. Every time I was talking to him, I had a great interaction with him.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
So a very, very sad one. Was it one of those things at events where it's more of an event type relationship?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
And you see it. I mean, SIE, Iron Galaxy, you see him running with the boys' crew, the John Drakes, the everybody else, the John Vignacchis, right? He was part of that crew, the Gio Corsi crew.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Of course, thoughts and all the love in the world to his family, his friends, and everybody who's touched by this death. Now, usually we would do a transition, very goofy, to the Wii News. We won't do that. We'll just read the Wii News.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Which is number five, the Wii News. Tales of the Shire has been delayed to July 29th. And then, Kevin, I have two trailers I'd like to watch with you. First off, Shotgun Cop Man trailer. And then, Lego Fortnite Brick Life Gardener update. So we can start with Shotgun Cop Man trailer. This is one that's turning heads. People are excited for this. Do you remember who it's from?

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25

I never played My Friend is Pedro. Oh, yeah. I only did the demos of it. It wasn't my kind of game, but this looks more like my kind of game. If you're an audio listener, very simple, stick figure-y. I mean, he looks kind of like Kingpin. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
And then the other one I want to do is Lego Fortnite Brick Life Gardener Update. As you remember, a while back, Fortnite put all these different modes in there. One was Brick Life, the Lego, like, just run around town thing that I played for a night. And I was like, all right, this is pretty basic. And now they've added this gardener thing, apparently, where you can garden.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
It's multiplayer. Yeah. I don't know if I have a... What was that accent right there? Because you're like, a server. I'm like, I don't know. I'm trying to think of the one time I booted into it. Like, what happened. I don't remember it being like, pick a server and do that kind of thing. Full-ass lobby type deal? Yeah, there's people running around your world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
So, like, yeah, I don't know how you do that. Open server, says Alex. Thank you, Alex. I don't want them gardening near me. You don't want them growing that stuff? No. I like that Roger in the chat says, this is such a Roger Picard-y game, and then followed up in parentheses, not Lego. Like, it switched too quick on him, you know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25

I want to say the cut there is 90-10, but that might not even be correct. I'm speaking way out of school because I don't deal with Patreon. It might even be like 97-3, whereas anything with Apple is going to be 70-30, like if we were using the thing. And I think that's the same for...

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
We can get into the news. Number one. This is a long story. This... No, no, let it go. The audio people have to understand what's happening. I thought it would settle more. It's quick dissipating.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
You don't want to do a fire alarm like I did at PAX that one year. Yeah, of course. Like I said, this is a great follow-up to yesterday's Kind of Funny Gamescast, of course, with Sirkana's Matt Piscitella talking about industry numbers, how he gets them, what his job is, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We're going to go through this. This is a long story.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Great episode. Who would have known it would be so timely? We talked to Matt about all this stuff yesterday. Today we're talking NPD and all these different things where Matt's being quoted by IGN. A lot of stuff's going on over there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
So I feel like we can stop and we can talk and we can break it up because not only are we talking about Final Fantasy's numbers, we're talking about game sales and physical stuff, and then we're talking about the top 20 of the January month anyway. So there's a lot of stuff going on here. Great. So we're going to jump in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Your headline reads, After failing to meet expectations at launch, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth shoots to number three in US charts with Steam debut. This is the one, the only, Rebecca Valentine at IGN.com. January is always a quiet month for video games, and 2025 was no exception.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
With only one new game release cracking the top 20 and the predictable domination of Call of Duty, there's little to crow about from last month. Except perhaps what may be a comeback story for one of last year's alleged sales disappointments, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth debuted February 2024 to number two on Serkana's charts, which ranked video game by dollar sales in the U.S., period. It dropped to number seven the following month and finished out the year at number 17th. Number 17.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
While those numbers are respectable, post-launch there were numerous questions about whether or not the game had done well enough for Square Enix tastes, or even especially well in comparison to other major RPGs of the same year, like Dragon's Dogma 2 or its predecessor, Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Square Enix ultimately came out saying the game failed to meet sales expectations and never even announced a sales figure, suggesting it hadn't done well enough to brag about. But, notably, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launched as a platform exclusive on PlayStation 5, and exclusives usually face an uphill battle compared to cross-platform releases when it comes to sales.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
As of January 2025, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is exclusive no more, finally debuting on Steam and shooting up to number three on the Circona charts for the month from number 56 in December. The Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth Twin Pack similarly rose from number 265 in December to number 16 in January thanks to the Steam release. That's not all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Circona analyst Matt Piscitella and GameCast guest pointed out on Blue Sky earlier this month that Rebirth had a quote-unquote fantastic Steam launch. Across physical and track digital, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was the best-selling game of the week ending January 25th in the U.S. market, parentheses dollar sales, while Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth Twin Pack ranked number three, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Now, that's just the U.S., but it's likely that this is emblematic of similar sales abroad, which, when combined, could signal to Square Enix that change is needed. This success inevitably invites speculation that swelling sales thanks to PC launch may shift the company's plans for future Final Fantasy releases in a cross-platform launch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
I asked Piscatella for his opinion to the situation, and here's what he said. Quote, I mean, it's hard for me to say what impact the Steam release has on publisher perception of overall title success. That's subject to all kinds of internal planning and expectations I'm not privy to, of course, which we talked about in length yesterday. Remember his old algorithm and green lights and red lights?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Mm-hmm. But purely looking at consumer response, it was a very good launch month on Steam. This launch does provide yet another benchmark that shows releasing on PC makes a ton of sense at this point, regardless of genre or historical release strategies.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
For third-party publishers, it's looking harder and harder to release exclusively on a single platform without significant incentives provided by the platform holder. We'll just have to wait and see what Square Enix's reaction is at its next relevant earnings call, dot, dot, dot, in May. Stay tuned. We'll pause there because this is where we get into the rest of the charts. Andy Cortez. Hey, Greg.

One thing that stood out to me that I thought was interesting was the micro SD card express. Because to reiterate for those who may not be aware, the micro SD cards that you use for your Switch 1s, I don't think are going to work for the Switch 2. You specifically need a micro SD card express.

Nintendo Maintains Switch 2 Price, Pre-Orders Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.18.25
And I've been looking into that and the one that Nintendo is selling, specifically like the page that you were looking at, Bless, I think it's at $60 or something like that. Getting a Micro SD Express directly from SanDisk, like not their Nintendo-branded one, for that $2.56 is like $10 more. Really? Yeah, so that Nintendo one is like kind of a deal. Interesting. We're saving money, gamers.

Nintendo Maintains Switch 2 Price, Pre-Orders Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.18.25
Wir müssen das auch noch auswählen. Wir wissen nicht, dass sie uns einen Deal geben. Aber ich würde sagen, dass die MicroSD-Express-Karten vielleicht auf der Suche sind, vielleicht auch nächste Woche, wo sie sind und wo sie vorhanden sind, weil es scheint ein bisschen in Flux zu sein. Vielleicht sind Leute für die Nintendo Switch 2 vorbereitet.

Okay, well, fuck off. I've been playing Seed and Sleeper 2, Greg. By the way, Seed and Sleeper 1 was, like, totally came out of nowhere for me. It was a game that I played because I heard it on every podcast, every gaming podcast talk about how good it was. And after playing it, it was just like, man, there's a lot of reading in this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25

D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Hopes are high, Greg. And I think the biggest question you have to ask yourself first hit in the sleeper, too. The Defender, 8-9. Is this game a contender? Contender. If your list is bad, return to sender. Contender. Contender. I'm a 12-year GameStop Power Up Rewards member. Contender. Big question. Contender. Big question you gotta ask yourself.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
It's living up to the hype so far. I can only talk up to what the preview period is, kind of, you know, here are the guidelines or whatever. But you are once again just kind of immediately thrust into a very incredibly compelling story that right off the rib you're just like, oh shit. Was this the right time to start this game on my Steam deck at 11 p.m. at night? Did it play well on the deck?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Oh, it plays fantastically on the deck, yeah. You know, there are a couple of bugs here and there, but it has to do with like, you know, whether the game is like, is it a touchscreen or are you using the controller? I mean, it's not even anything to kind of worry about, but immediately you are thrust into the situation where you have this This antagonist that is super sick and cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
And again, the story of Citizen Sleeper is you are a consciousness that has been uploaded into these droids. And you are essentially kind of working off your debt. You are... This game is very much just about, you know...

I thought it was going to do really well for you, but then you mentioned the first one didn't do great. So I'm like, man, maybe people just didn't see the vision. It got like an 84. So I think, I think it should be, if that got an 84, it should be around the same level. Again, maybe I'm just kind of, you know, overrating this in some way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
It very much is. You'll see the key art of characters pop up and conversations will happen and you'll respond to them in kind. Again, this is a very, very small team. I think it's just one.

D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
person maybe making the game I'm sure there's several people helping out but you're not don't expect every response to have a certain you know outcome and oh I responded positively here so they all get this response from this NPC it's still kind of limited in some ways you can kind of see where the seams are but the writing is just so good and so impressive and every character immediately you immediately want to learn more about them you want to help out their cause it is such a game filled with

D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
In some ways, a lot of pessimism, but there is an underlying optimism to just the nature of humans and how we can help each other. And it's really, really beautiful in a lot of ways. And then you'll be hit across the side with just a really heartwarming story from a random NPC that you recruit on your ship.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
you go do missions with them so the gameplay is you essentially you never see a little dude walking around you are just the person that you go click on this space station the flyer ship towards but you got to make sure you have fuel for it so you can do some odd jobs to kind of you're essentially just rolling dice digital dice okay you're a digital entity right like you said that it's the consciousness uploaded so you don't have a body
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
You don't have a body, but you also... You never see NPCs in crowds walking around. You are just kind of... You're always looking at essentially an overworld map of a space station. You click on that little section. You walk to the... Well, you don't walk, but you just see yourself opening up that zone. But, man, it's just...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Again, this is the thing, this is the game where I'm like, man, reading can be cool sometimes. And I kind of get it, you know? And Blessing was wondering, man, will I be able to get into this if it's just reading and stuff like that? And I know how Blessing is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Blessing was like, you know, I am watching Arcane while playing a video game. I'm like, okay, well, you can't just do that. But with this game, like Citizen Sleeper, I said, if my ADHD ass can be so interested and compelled by the writing and characters in this game, that I will sit there and just read and then...

I would say if you watched Andor, Star Wars Andor at Disney+, and were ever like, man, every line in this show just feels like the hardest line you've ever heard ever. I get that all the time in these Citizen Seeker games, and especially in Part 2, I'm getting even more and more of that. Really enjoy it. And yeah, that's all I got for Citizen Seeker 2.

So I would say you would definitely get more out of it because the game is amazing. And part one is, I think, a seven hour completion to like 12 if you go for full completionist. But with part one, there definitely felt with part one, I didn't do a lot of stuff in it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
There are a lot of NPCs in Part 1 that you won't even get to fully experience their stories, and maybe that's because they want you to do extra side quests or whatever, or maybe they want you to do extra playthroughs. But when I beat Part 1, I ended on such a perfect note for me as the sleeper that I was roleplaying as, that I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
I immediately pursued the two NPCs that introduced me the most or interested me the most and got their side stories and got to experience everything they're going through. And I was like, wow, that was my experience. And I definitely left a lot of threads open still, but I got what I wanted out of that experience. And I don't,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Based on just the way the gameplay works, it feels like they kind of want you just to pursue one or two kind of side things here and there.

Yeah. I think that, um, I think the internet is not real life, and you see the same 20 people complaining and yelling on the internet about diversity and stuff like that. But again, I've always felt that if this game came out in 2013 or 2014, that... It would have been the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Has Learned From Concord - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.08.24
We're still, we're talking about Concord 2 or Concord, you know, like it's that sort of game that innovated that much on, well, it would have been innovating that much back then. Now, not so much because there are hero shooters are a dime a dozen and games that feel good to play are a dime a dozen. Like this game was designed really well and it had some awesome ideas, but

And it's just wrong place, wrong decade. I don't even want to say wrong year, just wrong decade, right? We've seen so many other options out there that I think people are already so invested in. And if anybody's going to go play a multiplayer game, the audience that this is going for...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Has Learned From Concord - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.08.24
was the people or the audience that's going for are the people that are already so stuck in their ecosystems they have hundreds of hours in warzone or overwatch or whatever and you're asking them to pull time away from that something that they've invested a lot of hours and probably money into if we're talking micro transactions to say come over here come try this out it's just it's too similar in a way that didn't do anything too spectacular

But that $40, you know, I saw a Gavitaris in chat said, if you're a diamond dozen, why charge $40 for your dozen? And I think a lot of it is just... a roll of the dice, but also, with this game being in development for as long as it was, you are designing the way that this game is meant to be played. Like, this isn't like a...

hey, this game may have shut down in month 8 or 14, but it sold really well for those first six months. We made back our budget, whatever. We got enough money back to make the next thing.

another tied to aiming, and the third on writing characters. Ayo.

They probably had people close in their parties and in their sort of legal teams. finding out that they couldn't or maybe don't have a huge massive case for you know, the using of the 3D characters and kind of modifying them a little bit, right?

There is a possibility for a lawsuit like that, that maybe they're kind of waiting on, or maybe they're still working out, but this feels like a shot across the bow. This feels like a warning shot, in my opinion. If I was to guess what was happening, and I don't know shit about law. I don't know anything, so don't even listen. You watch Better Call Saul, you know everything.

Probably going to cost a lot more if we were to try to make a lawsuit like this. These patents, first off, complete bullshit. I don't like this. These are just normal-ass game mechanics. Writing on a character and throwing stuff into a field, I just don't...

PlayStation Has Learned From Concord - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.08.24
Yeah, I completely agree. I think that once you're getting down to a level that's not even very granular and you're just sort of describing a random mechanic, it'd be one thing if the patent was... Throw a ball-like thing to capture the thing that you were battling or whatever, and then it'd be good. Like, even something more specific like that, I could maybe see, but still not agree with.

The layoffs and departure of Mercante leave Kotaku with just six full-time staff, including an editor-in-chief who only joined a few months ago after his predecessor resigned in protest over GeoMedia's management on the site. They follow several rounds of layoffs to have already taken place in 2024, affecting both editorial staff and writers.

Quote, GeoMedia's management is once again punishing workers for its own bad decisions, managing editor Caroline Pettit wrote on Blue Sky. Quote, management mandated that some writers stick to service posts. And now that the numbers aren't panning out, Parentheses, surprise, surprise, two of those writers have been laid off, cruel and misguided, end quote.

Kotaku is one of the last remaining websites in GeoMedia's portfolio following the recent sale of everything from The Onion to Jalopnik to whatever was left of Deadspin. Its masthead is now down to just a handful of writers and editors, with much of the site's service work now being handed off to freelancers. Pretty big bummer news right there.

A number of employees at Marvel Rivals and Destiny Rising developer NetEase Games have been arrested, according to a new report. According to Chinese outlet Li Feng, with additional context via Bloomberg Law, nine employees, including two senior executives, were arrested for allegedly laundering money.

PlayStation Has Learned From Concord - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.08.24
Per the report, the contract value appears to be worth 2 billion yuan, which is about 278 million dollars in actual money. It's a bit lower at 800 million to 1 billion yuan. I'm definitely not pronouncing that right. Or 111 to 139 million dollars. The two executives implicated in the case are Zhang Lang and Jin Yusheng. And Lang served as the head of NetEase's esports division.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Has Learned From Concord - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.08.24
Still don't like that esports is always like lowercase. I don't like that we all decide on that as an industry. Zhang was the head of NetEase's esports division, while Jin was the head of the company's publishing side. Neither executive is still with the company. Names of other employees at the company weren't made available.

At least one who was questioned by the outlet, Yikai Global, has denied any claims of money laundering. The alleged corruption took place within the segments of the company that two executives worked, the company said. They also confirmed that 27 companies have been blacklisted due to links to fraud. I really hope Psylocke is fun to play in Marvel Rivals.

unless your game has only white dudes that are like super strong and awesome looking that aren't like beta cooks or big booby women and if you have a woman she better be fucking hot yeah you know get an ugly woman out of my game that lady better be super smoking hot that's the way they think right and um Their thought process is that if your game has DEI in it, that it's going to fail.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Has Learned From Concord - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.08.24
When we've seen plenty of games that don't have DEI or a crazy diverse cast, we've seen those games fail. Games are never bad because of that, but bad games can have it. Bad games can have a diverse cast, just like bad games can have... super muscular white dudes that are all about being macho and shit.

We saw a lot of those games. And I think there's also this thought process that we are seeing less of those games from back in the day. I've seen TikToks from these fucking online chuds that go, man, remember back in the day we had Gears of War and Call of Duty? And they're naming all these like

So you're really the ones that need it.

We all love it because back in the day, game development studios were primarily white dudes. And they didn't really think about diversity. And that's fine. Like, that's just one thing where they were just kind of so insular. They weren't thinking like, oh, we should have a woman protagonist. We should have a black man protagonist. That just wasn't in their thought process. And that's one thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Has Learned From Concord - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.08.24
Right. But as because back in the day, I felt like it was more open. And if you were a person of color or a woman or just a minority, that it was a lot rarer to find. non-white dudes in game development.

PlayStation Has Learned From Concord - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.08.24
And as that changes, and as college and learning and all that stuff kind of becomes more ubiquitous and more available for everybody, more and more people from different walks of life want to get into game development. And then what happens then? They say... What if I, you know, let's just make the protagonist a Mexican dude and let's make the co-star an Asian woman or whatever.

It's supposed to be, hey, fucking walk around and look around.

DEI. This comes from Chris Scullion at VGC. Sony president, COO, and CFO Hiroki Totoki has shared his views on why Concord was a failure. During a Q&A session following its latest financial earnings call, Sony management was asked numerous questions about the live service game, which was shut down 11 days after launch. Good lord. What an insane... I don't remember it only being 11 days.

Totoki explained that the company's foray into live service games is still a learning process and that it had to take lessons from what happened with Concord. Currently, we are still in the process of learning, he said via an interpreter.

And basically, with regards to new IP, of course, you don't know the result until you actually try it. So for us, for our reflection, we probably need to have a lot of gates, including user testing or internal evaluation and the timing of such gates. And then we need to bring them forward. And we should have done those gates much earlier than we did. The quote continues.
