So there's that.

I'll happily give it a shot.

Steve, you in the Galactic Racer camp too?

Yeah.

Well, every video game remake looks like we remember the original looking.

It's just that in our mind's eye, because it was cutting edge at the time that we played it and we thought it looked fantastic.

And so that's how we remember it.

And then we look back and say, oh, actually, it perhaps has not aged as well as we thought.

Yes.

And they have removed some of the more modern day aspects of the original in keeping with the recent trajectory of Assassin's Creed, where we're just focusing on the history stuff, which is frankly probably not the worst decision because that is kind of the main draw.

I know that there are definitely some fans of the lore, the modern lore out there, but not as many perhaps as fans of the older stuff.

And I am...

Also excited for Galactic Racer, just reliving burnout days and also just racer days.

I think this is interesting because we have very little clarity on the holiday window this year, thanks to GTA.

As long as GTA 6 is holding steady at November 19th,

Everyone else is just kind of waiting to see if that stays solid and not really announcing dates.

And you know that they're all going to be avoiding that date if it holds up.

And so this is one of the first non-GTA tentpole titles for this holiday fall season that we have actually gotten a release date for.

So...

I'm looking forward to figuring out when things are coming out because just from a button mash podcast planning perspective, there's a lot of ETA 2026 TBD on the calendar for the rest of the year.
