Let's limit our fucking scope. See, I would say how much of that is just Titanfall 2 in general, right? Like, is there a... And this is going to sound crazy to say, but is there a starvation for the Titanfall multiplayer game, right? If you put out a Titanfall multiplayer game in 2025, are you just double-dipping on something that Apex Legends already does, right? Like, for me, I look at it as...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Like, if you want to return to Titanfall, just make a Titanfall campaign. Don't even do a multiplayer thing. Have Apex hold it down for multiplayer. Continue to nurture Apex or revamp Apex. I'm so fascinated to see. Did they ever put in the Titans in Apex? No. And I don't know why.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Like, that was the thing that I was speculating since 2019 of, oh, you're eventually going to put the Titans in here, right? I think you can still do that. I think that can be Apex 2.0.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
was gonna say why not do apex 2 yeah like apex 2 colon titans right next to colon titanfall like whatever you want to call it i think that is a vision for the future of apex because that is the infrastructure apex has the multiplayer apex has the battle pass apex has all those like the audience built an audience already like i think that could be the avenue through which you revamp apex and if you want to bring back titanfall just make a traditional first person shooter campaign and like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
it could be $40. Now I know that probably sounds insane for EA and for a triple a campaign game to come out and be something that's less than 70 bucks. But I think if you're in though, that's the road we're in. And I think it's a, it's a win on all sides of you frame it and scope it the right way of, Hey, this is a six to seven hour campaign of a first person shooter that we know people want.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Let's make it and make it 50 bucks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Battlefield was also another reason why I look at a Titanfall multiplayer thing, and I'm like, it's an uphill battle. The skills have tipped, things have changed. What was the thing for Shazam of the powers have changed or whatever? Oh, the hierarchy of power has changed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Yes, the hierarchy of power has changed, right, in the first-person shooter sphere where, yeah, like, if you keep betting on Battlefield, which I get, that is your big FPS multiplayer franchise, and it feels like it has been an uphill battle for the better part of a decade and a half.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I understand why you look at Titanfall and struggle to figure out like what you want to do with it, especially if you're coming off Titanfall 2 and that isn't still like an online, you know, ongoing service thing, but you have Apex.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
So I, you have something there. I think it's, it is about not being greedy and figuring out like how to nurture that and continue to build that into something that like gets those numbers that you want. We got a lot of Super Chats on this topic. Super Chats. Yeah. I can see that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Battlefield and Call of Duty. Yeah, well...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Yeah, I would... I made up a word that I don't worry about. And I don't know... Cyclical?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
You understood it, and it sounded enough like what you wanted that your brain tricked you. I would be fascinated of the numbers of people who came to Titanfall 2 for the single-player campaign. Because I'm one of those people where I didn't play Titanfall 1 because I just didn't have the interest in Titanfall 1.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
But when Titanfall 2 came out, I saw so many people online talk about it having one of the best FPS campaigns ever. And then I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
i played it i forget if i bought it or if it was on game pass or whatever but i think i bought it i played it to play the campaign and i played the campaign and loved it and i may i might have played the multiplayer thing once just to see what it was and i wasn't into it and just bounced out yeah i think there's probably a good amount of people yeah for sure for sure uh we got another one from yeltsin who writes in and says respawn has to be one of the most respected studios in the industry and ea squanders them at every turn i'm so glad you guys don't have uh stakeholders
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I guess. Yet. EA's been talking to me. I mean, listen, do you want higher ups coming down at us being like, you got to make all of our content PG-13?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
We gotta figure this out, Greg. You can't keep doing this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
There's a disturbing amount of 9-11 references. Talking about the EA of it all, right? Because I think this is, as much as this is a Respawn story, because this is very much affecting Respawn as a studio, I think there's the big EA element as far as what the fuck is going on here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
When we talk about them saying that Dragon Age The Veil Guard underperformed by 50%, when you talk about EA FC 25 somehow underperforming, when you talk about the grand scope of EA, where do you think EA as a company is at now and where they're going in the future? Wow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Oh, I see. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
And Apex.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
You know what I mean? Because I guess that's where I come in with this question of... When we talk about EA, EA historically typically looked at as, oh, that's a money grubby, the most evil corporation. But I stand by, I think somewhere around the late 2010s up until recently, they've made a good turn as far as, oh, y'all are actually putting out stuff that is worthwhile on the non-sports side.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
You know what I mean? Like, we are getting... I count Apex Legends in that, right? Apex Legends was such a fucking good quality-ass battle royale game. You have the Star Wars games, right? You have the Dead Spaces of the World, and... Hazelight. Yeah, you have Hazelight, and you have these... What do they call that initiative? Like, the indie, essentially, initiative that they have, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
EA Originals. EA Originals. They were making... really good decisions. It takes you... Got a fucking Game of the Year award at the Game Awards. Like, first, a window stretch there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
It is, it is, it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, like, there was a really good stretch there, and right now... It feels like we are seeing that be done with. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Skate.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
how quickly does that come and go? Because skate strikes me as something you greenlight when you have the runway. When you have shit to work with and you have that room for risk, I feel like that's when you bring skate back to go, okay, our fans really want this thing and this is a thing from a different age. This is a thing from the late...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I guess, yeah, late 2000s, early 2010s that had a moment that was popular when the skateboarding games are popular, yada, yada, right? Like, we're bringing this back in 2025, 2026, whenever it launches. Early access this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Does that catch fire? Do you believe in Skate enough to think that EA is going to keep it around for the long term? Well, I don't believe in EA enough to think that they're going to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I think it's possible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I think Skate is weirdly sticky with, like... There was a weird, not a weird, there was an era there where streamers and content creators were making a lot of skate content. And, like, there's an audience for it that I think is that streamer audience.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Ben has a lot to say.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
So what I think of skate and the way that I interact with skate, right? Like I, for me, it is a sandbox for me. It is, you know, hopping into skate three and just fucking around with the challenges and being like, all right, I'm going to do a kick flip onto this rail, do a 50, 50 off of it and do like a combo down this road and trying that over and over and over again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
And maybe doing the clips, right. And sharing it around, which I would say to what I was talking about before of like skate being from a different era, skate also at the same time ahead of its time,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
that stuff oh yeah the shareability of clips and what you can do with that has a lot of potential especially now like if you put in the new skate some kind of thing that natively exports clips onto tiktok kids are gonna go crazy with that shit um but i also think that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Right now, for the video game content that's hitting, both on, I guess, just the content creation side and just what the kids are playing, so much of it is sandbox. So much of it is survival-type games. So much of it is, like, the type of games where you can go in and create your own fun, the Roblox of the world, like, those kinds of things. Skate... Could be that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Could be that and already has been that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Can you do that, Wes? This new skate needs a way where people can create their own only up challenge. Where I go in, and I make a level, and I make it my own only up, and people do that, and it goes viral, and people share that. It needs to be that kind of game, and I think EA would probably bet on that side of it for the success. Is it going to have a campaign? Maybe, sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Sure, you can have that stuff, and that's going to make people happy, but I think that is where the money is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
yeah like I think that is what you bet on and fingers crossed that it works because I think that is fun that does capture the spirit of skate and also I do think that could lead to success 100% and I hope it does and somebody went by in the chat earlier already but it's basically writing out my thought right of like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
For a kind of funny stream we're just hanging out playing some skate. Yeah, exactly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
if this game doesn't do what it needs after like a couple of years am i gonna be able to do that right um and so yeah but i definitely get where you guys are thinking about it we're gonna move on to story number two but before we do i want to tell you about patreon.com slash kind of funny and youtube.com slash kind of funny games where you can get the kind of funny membership which allows you to get shows ad free and speaking of ads let us tell you about our sponsors

You're like talking to him like he's Tim Geddes. You're like, you stole a child. Yeah, exactly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Also, during the break, it came up of... I forget the question. Somebody wrote in with the question of, do you think Greg could beat up Bless if Blessing didn't have any arms or legs? Which was hilarious. But also reminded me of the 100 men versus one gorilla conversation. And I do want to apologize for my takes on that episode of Kind of Funny Podcast that went up this week.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Because I saw a picture yesterday of 100 men. 100 people, I should say. a gorilla is fucking killing all of them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
It's not that I wasn't giving the gorilla enough credit. I think I was giving too much credit to how many people 100 people is. This looks like a small church service of people. 100 people is like, that's not even a Tim Getty's wedding. That's not enough people to take out a gorilla. If we increase this to 500, I think that would have been more accurate to what I was thinking in my brain.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
But yeah, 100 people aren't taking out a gorilla. I apologize, guys.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Wow. All because of this ROG Ally.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I'll do the thing. Wow. We... This is a dangerous episode to have, right? But we got to have an episode about... are we abandoning our PlayStations? Because I have been playing on PC so much in the last year and to the point where now I am requesting AAA third-party games on PC. Wow. Yeah.

It's just my Steam Deck just changes everything. No, the thing that sucks about Clear of Scare is that it actually doesn't run that well on Steam Deck. Did you give it to Andy yet? No, do I need to give it to Andy?

Life boating.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
This is a great show. This has changed my life, dude. I was doing laundry yesterday. Not the rock. You're not playing the rock? No, I just like, one, my library is on Steam for the most part, which I know ROG has Steam. It's just the immediacy of booting it up and the Steam OS just being there and not even figuring it out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Maybe I'll figure out a way to just have that happen in my ROG ally, but I'm just trying to get you to do whatever you want. But man, I was doing my laundry. I don't have in-unit washer and dryer, so I'm at the laundromat and I put my clothes in, I sit in my car, I'm just doing a run of blueprints.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I'm sure they did, but I like my privacy. I don't want to be out. Ripping farts. Playing Blueprints. My windows are down. It's great. Spilling slushies everywhere. Playing Blueprints is fucking awesome. Story number two. Switch's new virtual game card system stops the same game being played online on two Switch consoles. Oh, no. This is Chris Scullion at Video Games Chronicle.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
The latest update to Switch has reportedly removed the ability for two accounts to play a single purchased digital game on two different consoles at the same damn time online. I didn't say damn, but I put that in there. Today, Nintendo released firmware 20.0.0 for Switch consoles, a significant update that adds new features in preparation for the impending Switch 2 launch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
One of the main changes in this new firmware is that digital games are now referred to as virtual game cards and essentially act like digital cartridges. Players can virtually load and eject virtual game cards between two Switch consoles, meaning one console can have the game present at any time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
However, players are now reporting that this new system prevents two users with their own Switch consoles from playing the same digital game online at the same damn time, something that was possible before. In the past, Switch games using a main player's primary console could be played by any other account signed in on that console, including online.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
The main player could then sign into a secondary console and install the game there, too. The idea was that if the main player signed into the secondary console and another family member used their own account on the primary console, both could play the main player's purchased digital game online at the same damn time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
The change to virtual game cards no longer makes this possible because there are no longer primary or secondary consoles. Now, digital games are treated like physical cartridges, meaning they can technically only be active on one system at a time.

How much Oblivion have you played? Oh, what? I'm like 12 hours in now. Oh, nice. I want to get into it. I've not started it yet. It's the thing where I'm looking at my PS5 dashboard, and I've mentioned this like a million times. Embarrassment of riches. But like, yeah, it is an embarrassment of riches where I'm still in blueprints mode.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Since the virtual game card system only launched a matter of hours ago at the time of writing, there are still checks ongoing to see how every permutation of the new system works. For now, however, it appears that in order for two family members to, for example, play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online together on two separate Switch consoles, they'll need to buy a second copy of the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Is this not how it works on PlayStation? Can you play the same game – like the same digital game on two consoles at the same time?

EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
joining me is WWE legend, Greg Miller. Hey, Blessing. How are you? Doing well. How are you doing? Good. It's good to see you. It's been too long. I know. I feel like I don't host one-on-one with you as often anymore.

EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I was scared after the spoiler cast that I was going to spoil it enough to where it's like, okay, well, I'm done with blueprints now because I know everything. And the spoiler cast is perfect to the extent of it didn't spoil too much, and it gave me enough things to chase. Yeah. Where now I'm like, oh, I got to go back because Kevin told me about this thing. Hubert told me about this thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I got two opinions on this. Sure. My first opinion. I don't really care. My second opinion is because people say sometimes too lenient on Nintendo. How dare you, Nintendo? Yeah, I appreciate that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Yeah. It means nothing. Exactly. Yeah. It's not even ownership. You're renting a license to touch the game. Fucking smell the game. You're renting a license to do it. You're not wrong. Story number three. Lost Soul Aside has been delayed again. I'm not going to read the full news story, but it has been pushed officially from May 30th all the way to August 29th. Whoa. Thank God.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Because it came out, it was originally coming out the same day as Elden Ring.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
You definitely do. Lost Soul Aside, it's the game that kind of looks like a Final Fantasy, but also kind of looks like it was made by Platinum. It's part of the PlayStation, I believe, China Hero project of games. It kind of feels like it could be this year's Stellar Blade, but also it was made, the development started originally by one guy, so it has a whole story behind it. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
We can go to, like, where the action is. It kind of looks like Final Fantasy XIII versus... Did I miss this?

Jane told me about this thing. And so now I'm hooked all the way into that. But I want to play Oblivion just for the sense of I've never touched that game. But I played quite a bit of Skyrim. And I'm getting the nostalgic feeling when I see it on my PS5 dashboard.

I mean, it's also been around for... It's probably drinking with Jeff Keeling. It's been around for years and years and years. But also, like... It's also, it doesn't strike me as a Greg Miller game. No, no, not at all. Yeah, so that makes sense. But yeah, I'm glad they delayed it. I hope when it comes out, it's fantastic because it looks really cool and I need it to be cool. Story number four.

Gearbox boss denies Borderlands 4 date change is due to GTA 6 or, quote, any game. This is Andy Robinson at Video Games Chronicle. Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has denied Borderlands 4's rescheduled release date is influenced by other games amid GTA 6 speculation. On Tuesday, Gearbox announced it has shifted Borderlands 4's release date forward by several weeks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
This sparked speculation that it could have been influenced by Rockstar's release plans for GTA 6, which is also owned by Take-Two. Quote, Borderlands 4 shipping early is 100% the result of confidence in the game and development trajectory backed by actual tasks and bug find slash fix rates, Pitchford wrote on Twitter.

EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25

And Randy Pitchford's been doing that for a while. Greg? Remember when Randy Pitchford got in a fight with Game Informer? I can't believe you'd fuck me like this. Why would you fuck me like this?

I love when you see new life breathed into an ongoing thing. Cyberpunk 2077 could have came out and it could have just remained as is and that would have been a tragedy. The fact that they've been able to turn that game around, so much so that I look at it as one of my favorite RPGs, that's huge. So many people love Phantom... Not Phantom Pain. Phantom Liberty.

EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Starting with our number one, a continuation from yesterday's news. Electronic Arts lays off hundreds and cancels a Titanfall game. This is Jason Schreier at Bloomberg. Electronic Arts is laying off hundreds of workers and canceling a Titanfall game that was in development at Respawn Entertainment subsidiary.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Between 300 and 400 positions were eliminated, including around 100 at Respawn, according to a person familiar with the cuts. The company had about 13,700 employees at the end of March 2024.

Quote, as part of our continued focus on our long-term strategic priorities, we've made select changes within our organization that more effectively aligns teams and allocates resources in service of driving future growth, Justin Higgs, a spokesman for EA, said in a statement.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
The canceled project, codenamed R7, was an extraction shooter set in the Titanfall universe, according to people familiar with its development. It was not close to being released. In a post on social media, Respawn said it, quote, made the decision to step away from two early stage incubation projects and make some targeted team adjustments, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
The other project referenced in the statement was canceled earlier this year, the people said. Earlier this year, EA reduced its bookings estimate for the fiscal year following the miss of its latest soccer game, EA Sports FC 25. Who needs FIFA? The company also shrunk subsidiary BioWare following the release of Dragon Age The Veil Guard, which it said missed sales expectations by 50%.

What are you talking about? Look at this. That's what it's all about. Greg, how you been? Good. How's the sick kid? Is he better?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Everybody trying to get into the extraction shooter business and seeing that that pool is already pretty full. Is Titanfall the most canceled franchise out of any video game? It's a tough one to try to figure out. To enumerate what we know. But I feel like we've gotten... Bear alluded to it yesterday.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
It feels like every year there's another report of, oh, they're making a Titanfall game and it sounds fucking awesome. Or they're making a Titanfall game and it's abstracting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Okay. Yeah. And then it gets canceled. And then it happens and it's like a cycle of Titanfall's back, Titanfall's gone. Titanfall's back, Titanfall's gone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
No, Apex Legends takes place in the Titanfall universe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Our minds go out. Yeah, yeah. Our minds.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Yeah, which is wild. Fucking A. But, I mean, either way, you look at 300 to 400 people, right? And that's insane. 100 people being from Respawn, which we were having this debate yesterday of, like, how big is Respawn? I think there are typos between both Jeff Grubb and the IGN article. Because any of the IGN article mentioned that they had 100 people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Oh,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
So it must have been, like, I imagine 300 to 400 people actually work at Respawn. And we're seeing about a quarter to a third of that workforce laid off. Which I would say devastating for... Though, again, what we talked about yesterday as far as who Respawn is as a studio, because you want to talk about Apex Legends. To me, Apex Legends was one of the best releases of 2019, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
It was a Battle Royale game that came out, did everything right. I think innovated really well as far as what Battle Royale could be. Had excellent quality in terms of that map design and the different locations and the hero design and the ping system.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Brought a lot to the space and was super quality and was exactly what people wanted out of that type of game and still kept a lot of the heart and soul out of what people liked from Titanfall. Specifically, like, that game feel and how fun that game is to play and the gunplay, right? Like, Apex Legends nailed so much of that and was such a success at first.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
And I'll still say it is still a success, even if the numbers have just evened out and tempered out and not have generated.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Exactly. So you have that. You have the Star Wars Jedi series, which is a huge hit as far as being a single-player, big-budget campaign game that people want, especially out of Star Wars. So you have those two things as Respawn, and then...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
you're seemingly trying to figure out a third pillar, a thing probably being Titanfall because you know your fan base wants a Titanfall game and you're not able to figure it out. So just make Titanfall. Yeah, just make Titanfall.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Like, I feel so bad for the people at Respawn that have had to figure this out as far as, man, we've been killing it, killing it, killing it, and it's just not enough for us.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
For you, I guess, where does Respawn go from here? Do you think that this is the beginning of the end? Do you think this is the beginning of, like, all right, Respawn's just going to be that studio that is part of EA, but they're not making these big swings like we've seen them make before?

PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
My immediate read into this, I think, is one, everything that you just mentioned, right, as far as that. And then two, like, I wonder if there's a thing as far as having it be a co-CEO situation versus a sole person being the top of the food chain. Like, I think that allows you to cast vision a little bit easier, even though it doesn't sound like any...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
It doesn't sound like much is changing as far as their day-to-days. Like, Herman Holst is still doing everything as far as PlayStation Studios. That was what he was doing before as CEO of SIE. That's what he's doing now as what they call him, CEO of PlayStation Studios Group or something along those lines, right? Like, studio business group.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
Who knows? I want to bring in some super chats. A lot of people have been writing in. BainterSN writes in and says, Grubb had a good read on it. They wanted all these cancellations and closures to be pinned on Totoki, who was Temp's CEO. So that's when Nishino takes over. He gets a clean slate. Herman is in the same spot. Sure. StreetShadow writes in and says, This is not a demotion.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
His roles and responsibilities are still the same. Nishino was given an extra role and promoted after Totoki was moved up. uh, Foxy Steve writes in and says, I don't foresee any immediate changes to SIE strategy. Larger companies are not very nimble when it comes to change. And again, that like, I think we're all in agreeance here, right? As far as that of like, you know,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
I, it would have to be so inside baseball of like us talking to people who are in the know at PlayStation being like, you know, what was up with that? And like them being, it either being a mundane thing of, oh yeah, Herman got sick of the emails.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
He got sick of getting, of his inbox being full and having to show up to meetings that he didn't really care about or didn't concern him or like it could range from that to, oh yeah, like they weren't happy with the last year of PlayStation software output, which like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
With how video game development works, I couldn't see that happening because of how long video games take to develop and all these things. Another one from Volk Dasher. It's not great to say, but one day we will all look at buying Bungie for near $3 billion as the decision which costs so many people on all levels their job. Herman may have kept his, but trust is gone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
Is that something you put on Herman Holst, the acquisition of Bungie? And even the results of that, right? The layoffs, there was this report last year about like Bungie seemingly misrepresenting the inner goings of like how they were doing and all that stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
Yeah. Like, again, inside baseball, maybe there's a conversation of, oh, maybe we could have looked into this more. We could have, like, I don't know. Maybe we could have done the insomniac thing of, hey, Bungie, you're going to get some at-bats for us, but we're not going to buy you until you're fully proven. Yeah.

PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
But I think at that time, you look at Bungie, you look at Destiny 1 and 2, you look at how well Destiny 2 seems to be going, and you look at the shift that you're trying to make right now as PlayStation. And I think you go, all right, cool. Yeah, like this seems like the right decision, right?

It's like if the number one podcast host or like, say we're trying to, we're trying to, this is a weird one because you already did this, right? But like, say we're trying to shift into Twitch streaming or no, let's say we're trying to shift into the D&D space.

And Brendan Mulligan walks in and if people listening, we don't know who Brendan Mulligan is. He's at Dropout. He's like a very incredible content creator. One of the best in the game right now, in my opinion, as far as like making nerdy content, making D&D content, even like the trivia stuff they do at Dropout. He knocks it all out of the park.

But it's the thing of, you know, like, a Switch 2 reveal might get 100,000 views at least, right? And, like, maybe 20,000 of those people know what's going on. There isn't 80,000 people watching that are like, what's happening? Why are they doing trivia all of a sudden?

PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
God damn it. He didn't solve this at all. Yeah. Like that feels like kind of what happened with PlayStation. And like, I think really what it's going to come down to is what is the next step? What is what are you going to do with Bungie now? Does Marathon have the stuff? Does Project Gummy Bears have the stuff?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
You know, is this Smash Moba game going to work? Like right now, I think that's what I'm looking at as far as PlayStation and Bungie. What are the next steps with it?

PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
Yeah. I mean, the part that stands out, right, is obviously the first couple of paragraphs, but them talking about, we're taking this opportunity between full development cycles to reimagine how we work at BioWare. That doesn't happen when your studio's killing it. Yeah. Like, if BioWare was...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
a studio that was knocking it out the park even with Dragon Age the Veil Guard if Dragon Age the Veil Guard met expectations or even like exceeded expectations and everybody's happy with Bioware you don't then go okay we're taking time between development cycles to reimagine how this works and we're going to shift a lot of people off of Bioware to then work at other EA things that for me that to me sounds like you are getting ready to maybe sunset the studio maybe after Mass Effect if Mass Effect doesn't hit Do you think they get Mass Effect out the door?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
Like, they're showing off the 3D Mario, right? And, like, all of a sudden, we're doing trivia. I'm trying to watch, like, how is he going to jump into the pipe this time? Sure. Meanwhile, Greg's over here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
No, I don't think so at this point. Like, I don't know. What's your read on this?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
Do you think this gets into a Ship of Theseus situation where... You're talking about Mass Effect. These are the Mass Effect devs, but when we're talking about the last great Mass Effect, I'm not counting Legendary Edition. That was the collection of all the games. We're talking about the last great Mass Effect.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
You're probably talking about Mass Effect 3, which I know people have issues with the ending. But I think that's what we're talking about. And how long ago was that? 15...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
years ago something like that yeah so you're talking about like that long since the last great mass effect you're talking about um dragon age inquisition being a great title for the studio and that being 2014 it's been over a decade since it's felt like bioware has had a major hit, let alone a hit. I think the only good thing they put out is the Legendary Collection.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
I just looked it up on Google, and the IGN article from 2021 says Mass Effect Legendary Edition sales were well above EA's expectations. So that's a win. You can check that in the win box. But... When you're talking about their last three major standalone titles, you're talking about Mass Effect Andromeda, which didn't do well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
You're talking about Anthem, which didn't do well, and that was supposed to be a live service thing, so their expectations were probably even greater for that in terms of ongoing live revenue over years. And now you're talking about Dragon Age The Veil Guard, which did half of what they expected it to do. Now, real quick pullover, too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
That sounds crazy. I'm trying to find Jedi Survivor sales just to maybe put it into context of the way EA is thinking about its own slate. Because EA, I think, right now is averaging maybe one major single-player thing a year, and that is among the multiplayer things, right? The regular moneymakers, EAFC, Apex Legends, and those live games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
But then you have that one major thing a year that I think... Or that one major single-player thing a year that I think you have those high expectations because you're only giving them... Like, you're the one for the year, right? Sorry, Shy Survivor was the one for 2023 when it came out. And I got to imagine that that did numbers. Now, when we get into those numbers, we also get into licensing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
We get into, you know, a whole thing that is hard to bring into the conversation in comparison to Dragon Age. But I wonder if you are looking at Bioware and you're looking at them and going, hey, your siblings are outshining you, right? Like, we got... respawn over here that is an A student right now, right? Respawn over here.

As soon as they got to high school, they started killing it with their grades. And in elementary school, BioWare, you were that, but now you're in middle school, you're in high school, and you're getting Cs.

And I wonder, like, I mean, you want to talk about, one, Dragon Age being a somewhat dormant franchise, again, the previous title coming out in 2014. Yeah. I think you also talk about how much the space has evolved and how much competition you have. Of course. Where Dragon Age, I think maybe in 2010, Dragon Age might be a top, I don't know, three video game, like, a fantasy Western RPG franchise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

All right. Taking it back implies that you had it in the first place.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
And in 2025... Is it top seven? Like, we're talking about Baldur's Gate 3 coming out a couple years ago. You're talking about The Witcher 3 coming out in 2015 and changing the game, right? You're talking about... I guess Skyrim came out before Inquisition. But, like, you throw Elder Scrolls in there, right? Like, it's in the conversation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
And you're talking about more and more of these games, I think, competing for that top spot to where... Yeah, like, I think I... For what the hype was for Dragon Age The Veilguard, I think... This is just based off of my own perception, right? I would have expected more. I thought Dragon Age The Veil Guard would have demanded a bit more. Oh, it's a new Bioware RPG.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
Everybody's paying attention to it. And the way that Mass Effect felt when that was coming out, right? But I don't think people are as hyped for Dragon Age when there are so many other... Western fantasy RPGs that are doing it either just as good or way better.

And that's what I want out of it. Yeah. I mean, what you're talking about when Starfield launched on game pass, obviously like Starfield, but that's a thing, but that got what? 10 million in like a few days. And so we're talking about 10 million in a few days for Starfield. I could see it being 3 million.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
I can see it. Okay. Man, I haven't even thought about that kind of comparison.

A brown spot writes in and says, as a decade-long Dragon Age fan, Vilgard was everything I could have asked for. It is turning the ship, but not as quickly as EA would have liked. Also, a really short marketing window for a long, dormant franchise with Dragon Age. Am I coping? Maybe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
I'm also fascinated by what happens if Mass Effect is great. Is the writing already on the wall for Bioware where it's like, it's too late? This studio hasn't delivered for us in... over a decade, as far as something major. If Mass Effect comes out and it's what we want it to, do they just start hiring more people again? Do they bring in the people that they shifted to other projects just now?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
How does the studio evolve past that? And does it just become the Mass Effect studio then? You only have one IP now. I mean, that's their last gasp, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
uh one bite snack writes in and says isn't it possible that the influx of dragon age dev on the project was just too much too soon and they were burning budget yes 100 that's what i'm saying i think in terms if they're just doing the one thing and they're focusing this thing uh nando to reach you guys and it says why doesn't herman holst oh this is back to the playstation story uh why doesn't herman holst give an interview to you or any other podcast it would clear up so many questions fans have all the best from netherlands

I requested a code because I knew it was a rhythm game and I like rhythm games. I didn't realize how different this was. I think I saw the art style and immediately was like, ah, this seems like, you know, I don't even know how to describe it. It reminds me of, I guess, like Flash game type, like super clean 2D, like simple. Simple is not the right word for it.

PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
This is one that comes up because I realized as I was reading the story that I have reached the point where I've become Janet Garcia, where I've stopped redeeming my PS Plus games. And I used to make fun of her for it. I'm like, they're free. Just redeem them. And I don't think I've redeemed a PS Plus game in months. And so I've become what I've hated.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
Well, that's why I want to ask is to make sure that this is a me thing. And like us thing of us. Yeah. Getting codes and all this stuff. Right. Versus like, cause PS plus has been around for a very long time now. And I feel like back in when I used to listen to beyond in the early 2010s, um, There was a shine to PS Plus. Oh, sure.

I don't know if you've read the story, but here's my other thing, too, is that year one of PS5, I feel like it still felt like Christmas. oh, you're getting these day one games. You're getting Maquette. That's a PS Plus game. Oh, we got... I know there are more examples I just can't think of. Was Stray? No, Stray was PS Plus Extra.

Here we go. Jumping into the story, Sony has announced its intention to shift away from offering PS4 games as part of its monthly PlayStation Plus offering.

PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
As many of our players are currently playing on PS5 and have shifted toward redeeming and accessing PS5 titles from the monthly games and game catalog benefit, PlayStation Plus is also evolving with this trend and will focus on offering PS5 titles through the monthly games and game catalog benefit starting January 2026, said Adam Michel, Sony Interactive Entertainment's Director, Game Services Content.

PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
That's a long title. Quote, as we shift to PS5, PS4 games will no longer be a key benefit and will only be occasionally offered for PS Plus monthly games and game catalog starting January 2026. We may still provide titles that can be playable on both PS4 and PS5 consoles after this date. End quote.

PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
There's an art style to it that at first I was like, oh, I don't know about this. But after watching the trailer and understanding what it is, it is riffing off, pun intended, more of Guitar Hero and that style of rhythm game as opposed to it being a dungeon crawler whatsoever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
This move won't affect the PS4 monthly games that players have already redeemed from the PS Plus offerings, which will still be accessible as long as they remain a member.

That's a good point. But I stand by... The Pathless was a masterpiece. It must have been. I stand by it. The Pathless, it had to have been a masterpiece. Because I remember it as a masterpiece. Now, was it because it was my first time experiencing that nice of frame rate? Of course. With the PS5? Maybe. But they had Shadow of the Colossus influence. The Pathless was amazing.

Not on NBC. That's not NBC at all. I saw someone throw out Kid Icarus, the port for 3DS. That's kind of cooking right there. Yeah, I can see it. Who's the director of that again? Sorry, what's his name? My guy, Sakurai. Sakurai, yeah. And he said that he's working on something, doing something, right? I could see that maybe being a project.

Today's stories include a Nintendo Direct has been announced for tomorrow. Intergalactic and The Witcher 4 won't be out next year. And Game Informer is officially back. We'll have all this and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily. What is up, everybody, and welcome back to Kinda Funny Games Daily for Wednesday, March 26th, 2025.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Story number two, Intergalactic, The Heretic Prophet, reportedly won't make 2026. It's from Wesley Yinpool over at IGN. With the wait for The Witcher 4 set to head into 2027, it's a similar story for Naughty Dog's recently announced Intergalactic, The Heretic Prophet. I always mix, whatever. Heretic Prophet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Yeah, Hereditary. I always want to say Heretic Project. Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Yeah, I don't like it. Intergalactic, the Heretic Prophet. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier took to Reset Era to say neither The Witcher 4 nor Intergalactic will be out next year. That means, like The Witcher 4, Intergalactic will be released in 2027 at the earliest. And like The Witcher...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
And like The Witcher 4, Intergalactic will face questions around whether or not it's targeting the PlayStation 5 or the inevitable PlayStation 6, or perhaps, most likely, is a cross-gen game. If Intergalactic heads straight to PS6, Naughty Dog faces the prospect of having skipped the PS5 generation in terms of brand new games. That is a crazy thought to think about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
That's me saying that, not the reporter. So far, the studio has released ports, remasters, and remakes on Sony's current-gen console, including The Last of Us Part II, Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection, The Last of Us Part I, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Assuming Intergalactic releases in 2027, and taking into account Druckmann's comments about it being in development for four years so far, by the time the game comes out, it will have been in the works for six years. Yeah, that makes sense. None of this surprised me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Unless we get into Last Guardian territory. But even then, we forget that Ragnarok came out on PS4. We're going to get it on both. I think this is going to be a Last of Us 2 situation where it just comes out on the last generation of hardware by that time, PS5, and then eventually comes to PS6 in a remastered form or an update or something like that. Um, yeah, this doesn't surprise me again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
I, I, I'm with you, with you. I wanted, I wanted the reveal of like, oh shit, like maybe they were cooking so hard that this is ready to go like ASAP. But, uh, this is, this is not surprising. And it just, I'm excited to see whatever they do, do next.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
I'm not, I'm not like freaking out or like, oh my gosh, they haven't released a game in so long because it has been so many remasters and, you know, re-releases of the same games. And I just replayed Uncharted 4 and that game is fucking incredible. So like, I'm, I'm, I'm fine with Naughty Dog taking as much time as possible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
But yeah, it just speaks to how long these cycles of development are going. And we are going to get to the point where maybe the next Naughty Dog game doesn't make an entire generation of consoles. Like, we're going to get to that point where one of these studios just misses an entire generation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
I mean, you guys got to win, so you don't really miss us.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Yeah, they're extremely impressive. I think it speaks to, going back to my conversation on Friday with Sam Lake and Mikal over at Remedy, talking about how they went from going to, from one project at a time to multiple projects now, right? And like, That's a tough thing to do. I know that Naughty Dog, they were working on one project for a while and then they started doing multiple potentially.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
You've got to scale those things up. You've got to scale those things up in order to get to a point where you are Insomniac and you're making all these different teams working on all this different stuff. Yeah, I think that's the dream.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
I don't think anything's going to get smaller, and I look to, if I wanted the perfect world for a smaller type experience where you can continuously have that AAA, but then also have those smaller experiences, is what Ninja Gaiden's doing right now, which is kind of perfect. They have the Ninja Gaiden 2 Black remake that came out this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
They have Ragebound, which is a different studio that is making a 2D smaller thing, and then they have Ninja Gaiden 4. That to me is the perfect middle ground of all of this. You have a remake, you have a smaller game that's a side team, and then you have the AAA thing. I just don't think we're going to get that for PlayStation. I don't think PlayStation wants that even.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
It can be. It could. Yeah, but they want... I think the thing with PlayStation, that PlayStation...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
wants all of their big IP like that to be synonymous with the AAA of it all right like they don't want the smaller experiences that's why I'm interested in this God of War thing where it's like is that a smaller experience in terms of like scope and scale but it still has the same graphical fidelity and it's just like it is like a Miles Morales type deal or is it like a fully like hey no this is a different type of video game we're trying something different
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
That's a big one. Yeah. And then you have to lean on the other studios to prop you up and then studios start shutting down. Yeah. And things start falling apart. Like, you're totally right. I agree with you. I just don't know if that's what PlayStation wants right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
And I'm interested to see that side project because that side project, if that's real for God of War, I think it's going to say a lot about the future of PlayStation. And if it is just another Miles Morales thing, then cool. Yeah, whatever. But if it's something radically different and smaller, We could be cooking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
We could be cooking with different, and they might be listening to the critiques that we've had over the years of, hey, let's just make smaller games at a faster pace.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Different types of games. I want a year where it's like two, not similar games, but two games that have like almost complete overlap. You know what I mean? Like Elden Ring and God of War don't really have as much overlap. You know what I mean? If you're an Elden Ring person, you're an Elden Ring person. If you're not, you're just not.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
So I want one, yeah, I think Last of Us and GTA is kind of similar because people that play Last of Us totally will play GTA. People that play GTA probably play Last of Us.

So, I don't know. Story number three. Game Informer has officially returned. This is from Emma Roth at The Verge. Let's go. Game Informer is back, and so is its entire staff. On Tuesday, editor-in-chief Matt Miller announced that Godzilla Games has acquired the rights to the gaming magazine, helping to bring the site and its archives back online.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
GameStop, which previously owned Game Informer, shut down the beloved magazine last August and laid off its entire staff after a more than 30-year run. The team teased a comeback last week and has already published a series of new reviews for titles released during the magazine's hiatus, along with a belated list of the best games of 2024.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Its new owners, Gunzilla Games, is a game developer based in Europe that's currently working on a battle royale title called Off the Grid. Miller says the magazine will continue operating as an independent editorial outlet under a new entity called Game Informer Inc.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
"...our intent is to continue to focus on highlighting the coolest games, celebrating the history and legacy of the gaming industry, and shining a spotlight on the creators and players who are charting its future," Miller says. In addition to bringing back the website, Game Informer plans to resurrect its print magazine, too, with "...new membership and subscription benefits."

Game Informer will continue updating its site with news, reviews, previews, features, event coverage, and more starting today. Absolutely incredible. That's incredible.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Now, okay, let's start with the positive, right? Incredible that in this space that feels like it is crumbling. Let's be completely honest, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
This is a space, and the video game industry is such a tumultuous place right now that people are not only able to get their jobs back, but the entirety of the staff are able to come back under an independently owned LLC and continue to create the great stuff that they were doing before.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Then we have to have a conversation. But until then, you got the win. Exactly.

I'm doing great. I finished the first act, I'm pretty sure, of Ghost of Tsushima. Very much enjoyed that. I'm enjoying my time with that game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
End of the positive. I do want to talk about the Gunzilla of it all, right? Because Gunzilla is a company that is making this free-to-play battle royale game. No issues there. It's a video game. I think I do have a little bit of an issue of a game publisher owning a game magazine. Of course, I don't believe... I believe that their ethics are going to be intact, and I know that crew.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
We can only... We can't speculate on, you know, if things are going to be corrupt or... Not corrupt, but like if things are going to be... Like they're going to give... They're not going to give any games a pass.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
My first time playing Ghost of Tsushima. I'm deep into it. I'm 20 hours in. And that's the first part of the island that you're in. And I'm just finding everything. And I'm just getting lost. I'm lost in this game, man. I'm so excited.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
I agree, but I also agree that it needs to go past just being like, hey, off the grid, here's the review for off the grid. I think you need to mention it every time there's a Battle Royale game. I'm going to be completely honest. I think it needs to go that deep. We're like, I follow Linus Tech Tips, right? And he owns, he invested in a company that makes laptops, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
So every time they make a laptop video that he's involved in, he mentions it. And I think you need to go that deep. I think you need to be that transparent of, like, no, no, no, this game that we're reviewing is a competitor off the grid. We don't have any connection to that. They own our company, but, like, take that with a grain of salt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Like, you need to have that paragraph, that text in every time you have a game that is... That's where it gets messy. That's the weird part where it gets messy, right? Because... This is that. And then you also have to bring in the fact that Gunzilla, which is, I think, is the creative visionary officer, whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
One of the people that works at Gunzilla is the head people there is Neil Blomkamp, the director, which is cool and that's awesome. But the main game, the issue with the game, quote unquote, is that they have NFTs in the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
So let me just read this really quick is they have guns which is their proprietary platform where you can purchase and sell loot What is guns is from the website with the Z by the way because it's edgy and cool In current free-to-play games if you don't truly own the item you purchase or loot if you're accidentally banned Or if you simply stop playing then items lose all its value guns is here to reinvest this reinvented the system and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
I'm in a great place right now because I played Hollow Knight for the first time. I'm excited for Silksong whenever that comes out, hopefully this year. And now I'm really excited for Yotei. Now I'm like, I see how great this game is. I'm like, yo, Yotei could be a fucking 10 out of 10. Yotei could be like that, oh shit, this is the same thing, God of War to Ragnarok. We can have that with Yotei.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
You can now own and trade the items you loot if you want to. Guns is the first ever platform in a AAA game that gives you the option to turn your items into tradable NFTs inside the game's marketplace or elsewhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
I agree with you. I think my biggest fear is less of them giving... There's some type of weird thing where they're giving a pass or not giving a pass to certain games. I don't believe in any of that. That's not necessarily my... Because I know that crew. And I know that they're good, hard-to-people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
And I know they really give a shit about Game Informer and its integrity and its journalistic integrity. I'm just more worried about... You're here, and I'm happy that everyone's back, but now you're working for a company that is working with NFTs and is a very volatile industry, and it just scares me a little. It just scares me where it's like, oh, you're out under GameStop. That's great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
GameStop was about to collapse. Now you're under here, and it's like, okay, what does that look like now? What does the future of that company look like?

There has to be, right? Nintendo, right? All these games have to have 60 FPS versions, right? Not just Xenoblade, right? Only through Nintendo Switch Online. I think that's what they're going to do.

While the games industry patiently waits for the proper reveal of the Switch 2 on April 2nd, less than a week away, Nintendo isn't quite done with its current console. The company announced that it will be holding a Nintendo Direct on March 27th at 10 a.m. Eastern Time, which will feature, quote, around 30 minutes of news and upcoming Switch games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Notably, Nintendo says that there will be no updates about Nintendo Switch 2 during the presentation.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
At least a singular. That is not a port? That is not a port or something like that? That is not a port.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
That is first party, you're thinking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Yes. So for me, I guess my heads at is that this is to me the easy way for them to double dip and to create the Nintendo Switch to event on April 2nd and make it that be as concise as humanly possible. Right. Announce games that we know are going to switch games, but they also run on Switch to and they're going to probably look better or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
Announce them here, have their moment to shine, and then we can show them again at the event and be like, hey, they run better here, and, you know, you can buy them at the same price or $10 more, whatever it is. Like, just have that be, like, part of, like, a sizzle reel and then kind of focus in on, like, the big Switch 2 event game. So there is going to be a lot of overlap here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
And, yes, Metroid Prime 4 is, like, in my mind, the biggest one. And I... Part of me doesn't want it to be at this thing tomorrow. I don't want to see it on the Switch 1. I just don't. I want to see that on the Switch 2. I want to see that have the most impressive showing possible. Because when we saw it, we were excited, but it was more of like, it looks like Metroid Prime. It's exciting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
I'm sure the game's going to be really, really great. But it just looks like Metroid Prime. I want to see that game as beautiful as humanly possible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Direct Coming TOMORROW: Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.26.25
That means a whole lot to me. Honestly, that's more than a Grammy to me. Honestly. You know the song Closer. No, I'm going to be honest with you. Sing some. I might know some if you sing some.

The two notes here that I have questions about. Sure. Kangaroo and weird elephants.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Without spoiling what it actually is, does this at all have to do with the end of the first game?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Love seeing Split Fiction in there. I think that's a fun one there. It dropped to 10 from 5 last month, but still cool to see a game like that selling so well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yes, yes and yes. I feel like this has been happening for a while and it's only going to continue to happen. We've been talking about this ad nauseum of the more that Xbox has acquired and the more that they've kind of gotten under their belt and figured out the kinks and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Started to actually commit to the vision of actually being everywhere instead of just being this like, well, there's these three games and we'll see what happens. Now it's like, all right, cool. The expectation is these games are going to be everywhere and it's working for them. So yes, I think Xbox is winning because their strategy is working out for them. selling games. Awesome stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Love to see this. I've been playing the hell out of Forza Horizon 5 on PlayStation 5. It's running amazing on my PS5 Pro. I can't believe it. It's a dream. It is so damn good being able to play with the DualSense. That's just how I prefer to play games. So very happy to be able to do that. I was just hanging out with my friend James Burke. He played through Indiana Jones on PS5. PC, I think.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah, on PC when it first came out. But he's a trophy owner. And then he re-bought it because he wants to get the Platinum. So he's playing it on PlayStation now. So I just think that there's really cool... It's cool that there's these options now. And it's cool that it's working. And also, not a big surprise. There is such a big install base of PlayStation 5s.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
People that own PlayStation 5s want to play games and buy games. And so when there's incredible games, including Forza, which was IGN's Game of the Year the year it came out, Indiana Jones on many people's Game of the Year lists, like, yeah, these games are going to sell really well. You go back to things like Oblivion, remaking classics, that works too. This is awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
This isn't even talking about Doom, which I'm sure is going to be on the list next month, right? And then you continue down the path of the rest of the Xbox games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
hellblade joining the mix yeah where is game of the year two years running starfield we'll have to wait and see i mean that's the thing though is like you know with gears of war being announced uh ultimate reloaded edition whatever it's called uh coming to playstation i do think that we are starting to run out of the obvious games uh making the job right um i think south of midnight is the most recent new game that i'm still surprised isn't there but again we know that is a smaller team and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
It does take work to get the games on other systems, and I imagine that we will see that on PlayStation 5 sometime this year, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I was talking a lot about this yesterday, but I really think that the Switch 2 is going to destroy in amazing ways in terms of its market dominance of video games. I think Xbox is going to be a big part of that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I think that these games are going to come to Switch 2 as well, and we're going to see this story even bigger because now they're going to be selling on another console that is going to have a excited user base that actually buys these games, which is something we just, the proof's in the pudding.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
They don't do that on Xbox, and they don't do that because there aren't that many Xboxes out there, and Xbox has Game Pass, which is another way to play all these games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
The dominoes are falling. They've been doing that, though. The dominoes have been falling, Greg, and you know that. I'm well aware. Yeah. The chat's not, though. They need to learn. But what's cool here, one time, a metaphor. That's a big get, obviously. Huge game, and I feel like that is another example of Game Pass continuing to not just have the new releases, but also the semi-new releases.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I'm a little bit more pixelated in the game. I'm sure it is. Final Fantasy 2 in the West. You're such a dork.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Being able to go back and maybe the people that have heard the Barrett Courtney's of the world gush about this game for a year now, or coming up on, you know, whatever it is. And then are like, hey, I wasn't actually going to buy it, but now I have Game Pass, so I'm going to give it a shot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
So I think that's great. And then just yesterday, I was talking to you about the Activision stuff, and this isn't quite that. Well, they're getting closer. We are getting closer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
All right, come on now. I mean, you know, these are kind of the building blocks to get there. And they clearly are committed to it. And they clearly... It takes time to organize and figure out what you're going to do when you have so many assets available. And I do...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
prefer them taking their time to get it right and adding the multiplayer and like really thinking about the preservation of these games going forward like this is awesome like it's very very cool that xbox has always taken this so seriously and uh the fact that they have access to more than any other publisher on the planet in terms of history at this point
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah, that this is good that there are people in charge that see the value in that and are putting money into it. So it's not just, ah, here's a bunch of fucking games. Let's see if they work. It's like, no, we're actually putting love and care into this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Final Fantasy 5. There we go.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah. It's really cool stuff. And I've been a big fan of Nintendo adding multiplayer online to its games like GoldenEye and Mario Kart 64 and things like that. That's cool. And yeah, how big of a market is there for that? I don't know. But it's clearly big enough that they're continuing to invest in this. So I think all that's great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And the value of Game Pass just continues to grow, again, in every way, whether it's Games like Metaphor eventually making their way to it. Brand new games coming out that are going to be in the top 10 selling on other consoles. That's really good stuff. Good for them. And the craziest thing is they're about to have another showcase. And I feel like the last three years...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
the showcases got progressively better leading into last year's, which is, I think one of the best showcases we've ever seen from anybody. So what's this year going to be? Is it going to be more of a reset time or more likely in my opinion, it's going to be another banger because they just have access to so many developers and teams that are,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
putting out projects and now they'll have more systems to be able to announce it for where it doesn't at all need to be weird tribal warfare bullshit it's just like oh yeah these games that are awesome that everyone loves you can now play no matter what console you have norman writes in with a super chat and says this is basically what the ftc was worried about no one giant company buying their way to a dominant position in the industry tim i mean at the end of the day
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
they're killing themselves in terms of hardware. Like, the Xbox as one of the big three is over. Like, they lost, admittedly, and that's fine because that's a game that you don't need to win.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
You find the strategy that works to run your business, and I think that they're doing that. For now, like, obviously, so many... I am still the biggest game-pass doubter in terms of how the money all works. Sustainability. It just, like, doesn't add up to me. It's not my business, but I don't understand how it's possible that that's going to work out long term for them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
But I've seen multiple devs come forward and say, I'm an asshole. You know what I mean? They've said, hey, like behind the scenes, we actually are the ones doing the deals. It is sustainable.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I know that. You're a cool guy, Greg.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Let's get to the next one. This is the important one. Oh, not the one I thought it was going to be. This one's important, too, though. Final Fantasy X. How do I say this one?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yes. Um, and another thing that I'm sure we're going to talk a lot about in the coming months, but, uh, Xbox is clear path to the everything's an Xbox and really looking at the PC side of things as a incredibly viable market. Um,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
all the talk of the rog ally 2 and the xbox version of it whatever that looks like um but in addition to that the conversations we've seen about steam and the the rumors at this point but uh what is that going to look like of getting steam on xbox consoles or like that type of collaboration even is there their rog ally with uh their xbox interface that seems all that stuff right i think that we're at a very interesting uh kind of like crossroads at this point of

Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Guado Salon.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
what the future of Steam and PC gaming in general looks like, and how are they going to play nice together, and where are they going to kind of put up walls? Because in addition to me being like, I don't understand how Game Pass is sustainable, I do really wonder if Xbox were to allow people to buy games on Steam on their platforms, at what point are
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Xbox really just like getting cut too much in terms of like being able to themselves just own all the profit or is that all just baked into what they're doing similar to how we run our business where the kind of funny membership is on Patreon YouTube Spotify or Apple we get significantly different cuts on each place but we want to meet the people where they are because we understand that that's where they're going to subscribe to us they're not going to go to a different platform so maybe Xbox is going to look at it that way when it comes to the Steam integrations but

Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah, I mean, absolutely, those are all fairs, and we've seen them all come to fruition the last couple years as the industry falls around us. But I do think the difference here is Xbox has half the games in the top ten selling things, and Bracer doesn't.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

In different ways. Big companies. Different audiences. This is good for games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I feel like it sucks. These are good games that are in some ways trapped on weird platforms, but also sometimes they're good games that are just in addition to, and I'm hoping for that. I hope this works out. Just like you said, like, yeah, we'll have to wait and see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah, it is impressive. You do Barrett.

Pissed off. I mean, to some extent, I would have been happy and playing my Mario Kart. I also don't believe that they would have done that, but... I'm very happy that that didn't happen and that we're getting this instead, like in every way. I think this is the right call.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

But more than that, like I always thought it was very bizarre how they did the booster pack courses in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because Mario Kart 8, we're going to do our final review of it next week. And we'll talk through kind of the history of it all there. But coming out on the Wii U, and it was a big success. 8 million copies sold on a system that only sold 13 million.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And it wasn't like a launch title. This was definitely, I would say, probably the biggest kind of boon that the Wii U had in its entire life cycle. And... Then they followed up with DLC packs, right, that added the Animal Crossing and Zelda stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And for the game to then get re-released, the deluxe edition on Switch, and then years later get the booster pack stuff that had a handful of new levels that were incredible and awesome. And then otherwise it was just like, all right, let's take all the Mario Kart Tour mobile game maps and just kind of make them work. You know, definitely lesser than the other levels in a lot of ways visually.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
That was like a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
a call that was awesome it gave us literally double the amount of mario kart 8 courses and that was great um but i think that that clearly was a move of like that's evidence of this game was a switch one game right and they were like all right cool well let's just keep milking uh this mario kart for as long as we can until we get to the switch 2 for mario kart world um and yeah i'm i'm excited i much prefer it happening this way and also we're here now so i don't need to worry about more mario kart on switch one we got an insane amount of mario kart on switch one
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I could not be more excited. You guys know how I feel about video game music, specifically Nintendo music, specifically live music. So all of this is music to my ears. When Bless and I were reacting, we were both kind of like hoping that they would confirm that in the free roam mode, it would work like Forza and kind of have the radio stations and be able to just listen to a bunch of songs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
They're confirming that here, so that's great. In the Direct we saw, we heard some awesome remixes of Bob-omb Battlefield from Mario 64. There was some Yoshi's Island music. And what's really, really cool, getting into the nitty-gritty nerd shit about this, a lot of those arrangements were initially made for Nintendo Live at PAX a couple years ago. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
where they did a Zelda concert and a Mario concert, and the Mario one was with, like, the Super Mario Super Big Band or whatever, and it was arrangements that were awesome, like jazz, like, big band arrangements, and it was literally that exact arrangement in Mario Kart, so I'm hopeful that, like, all the songs they did at that concert are now going to be in this game in addition to a bunch of others.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Like, this is going to be very, very cool. Mario Kart 8 had such an amazing soundtrack, and they... Nintendo really upped the quality level of music and video games back when Galaxy dropped.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Going the full orchestral route and actually committing to that being something that matters and I think makes the games have a higher production value than we see in a lot of other video games across any of the... bigger guys even. And Mario Kart, I think, is a shining star example of that, of having a style that they can adapt to any song, whether it is Zelda or F-Zero or just Moo Moo Meadows.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
But you know it's Mario Kart 8. Yeah, for sure. And they're continuing that with Mario Kart World. So with the booster pack, I was talking shit about the visuals not being up to par with the rest of the courses. The music was. So... They're taking that shit seriously. I think it matters. I think it really changes the experience of the game and 200 tracks in Mario Kart world. I can't freaking wait.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

This whole thing is so bizarre to me because it just reminds me that people are wild and care about everything the way that I care about some things. You know, everyone has their video game music. You know what I mean? Everyone has that one thing. And apparently people really care about how Donkey Kong looks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
That's what I'm saying. Are you going to actually play?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
It does. It does. But the point I was trying to make is these designs aren't that different. Yes, it is different, but I can't imagine...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
even really having much of a stance on this of like a preference like i look at these i'm like you know what i do prefer how he looks here compared to how he looks on the donkey kong country returns hd below him right yeah but like not by a substantial amount like it just seems weird to me this is it's not like ugly sonic and real sonic in the movies you know what i mean like this is just kind of uh it is tim it is like a ugly sonic and real sonic which one's ugly no i'm kidding i don't give a shit either
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I want to try to play. I want to try to play. We did a deep dive a couple days ago. If you want to see me react to all the Final Fantasy cards. Except he's five. You can check out the stream that me and Mike did. And Bless as well. But that was super fun. It was cool looking at them all. We read through all the cards. And I'm like, I'm already overwhelmed. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I obviously love Prince of Persia and I love that it's doing so well on mobile. A million downloads is awesome for a full ass console game that people are enjoying on mobile devices. I always talk about this where Apple putting so much focus on Death Stranding and Resident Evil and all that stuff coming that we do the news stories and it's like they're not selling well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
whatever it's like the power is there though and these phones are in people's pockets at all times and i think we're being incredibly silly to act like mobile games in any way are lesser than especially as uh everything just gets more and more it's all everything's a fucking xbox everything's a pc
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
It's just things that play video games in different ways, whether it's cloud or not. I just love it. These are the numbers I want to see and for a game that I want to see succeed. And I'm still... I missed this even game to mobile. I totally... Yeah, a couple months back. And I just think that it's great. Put good games everywhere and let them find new lives.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
You know, there's Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends. They were great. You know, what'd that team do after that? Prince of Persia. Now that team doesn't exist. So instead, they're talking about this. Triple A, Rayman, 3D game. All my anger aside, I'm stoked for that. Rayman 2, The Great Escape, was awesome. Great 3D platformer. Rayman's proved he can rebrand, come back stronger. He can do it again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
It's already like deeper than I expected it to be, even just with like the basic cards. But I was seeing the similarities between this and other card games that I play. Yeah. And Pokemon's of the world. So I want to give it a shot for sure. But I am definitely more on the collector side of it. And really, I'm just so excited for Mike and Blast because they are so into magic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
When did the Rabbids come back and take over his brand? And then that could happen again, too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
But I think this is going to be, from how this reads, I think this is them going to be going back to just a pure Rayman and friends.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah, man, that's a great question. I don't know. And it really bums me out. I freaking hate this shit. But this team's going to make another game, right? The people behind Mario plus Rabbids, like, We're going to get more from them. And I can understand them not doing another Mario game because the second one just didn't do as well as I think that they would have wanted it to. It's so silly, too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Like, if they just held that for the Switch 2, I think it would have been so much better. Oh, my God. Can you imagine? But I think it just released too close to the first one, and people just weren't ready for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
But Mike specifically, because he's been going down the Final Fantasy rabbit hole following in my footsteps. And the fact that he now loves 10 as much as I love 10 makes me very, very happy. So... Maybe it'll be less of a bloody war and more of like a nice little truce.

I obviously love physical media, and more than anything, I love the collector's edition type stuff, so this reminds me a lot of how A24 does a lot of its merch about the Euphoria screenplay books and stuff, and they're gorgeous.

So it seems like they're actually doing it, but it's not actually Kingdom Hearts. It's just like Kingdom Hearts. So it's a key to Disneyland. Thomas is the one doing this. And you can go to each land, and you can unlock, and you get pins. But it's not actually like a keyboard, but it's very...

It's so interesting. This sounds like a dope cast for a Street Fighter movie. I'm definitely in for that. I am bummed, though, because originally it was going to be the talk-to-me directors that were going to do this, but for some reason they backed out. And it sucks because they got their start doing super cool action...

Magic or the boy.

Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
YouTube videos, and one of their most viral videos was a Street Fighter in real life thing, and it was so cool. That was like 15 years ago. But yeah, I'm hopeful. They've done, what, three, four Street Fighter movies at this point, and none of them have been good for the right reasons.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
But I do think that it could be fun. I enjoy fighting game movies. I feel like my expectations for them are very different than The Last of Us or even Mario. I just kind of want to see cool fight scenes of characters doing their moves. Hopefully they play the music.

The idea of him and Roger attempting a full playthrough of Death Stranding 1 on a treadmill sounds like a wild journey.

And this is a bit of an aside, but, like, I don't think people are prepared for how well Cyberpunk's going to sell on Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I think that it's going to sell incredibly well. And I think that it's going to be a sign of what's to come for if you actually... Put your third-party games on the Switch and present them as if they're a big deal. Not just, like, a second thought. You know what I mean? I feel like Konitsugami, not going to do well. You know? Cyberpunk is going to do really well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25

I think this could end up being something that they view as core to the platform and something that they want to push maybe the same way as, like, the way they maybe would have liked to push PSVR if PSVR was more successful.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
But do you think that we could see ourselves, let's say we get to next generation. It's 2028. The PS5, the PS6 just came out. Let's say it's 2029, a year after the PS6 comes out, right? We're talking about, we're watching the PlayStation Showcase and they announced the PlayStation Portal 2. Do you think that they could get away with maybe having it be double the price?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
So let's say $400, but also it plays a lot of the old games natively. You're playing your PS5 titles that are now last gen.

It feels like we're in the beginning of a handheld race. Maybe this has just been the thing that's been going on for the last few decades since the Game Boy or whatever, but I think ever since the Switch, we've seen Valve put out the Steam Deck, and we know that Xbox is working on their handheld thing. Portal, we've always viewed as, oh, this is different, but like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I could see this parlaying into more serious conversations at PlayStation as far as, hey, can we get back to being in the handheld market and making this core to our console platform? Because for everything we've been talking about, handhelds have the capability now to be able to play games that are of higher fidelity, that are way more advanced.

and there's a whole conversation we had about like all the different technologies now that can come together to really support this stuff, whether it is the, you know, DLSS style stuff or the Pisser style stuff, right? Or like, just so, there's just like, I guess general AI stuff in general, right?

PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I would just think that that's probably too much like bandwidth, right? On the PlayStation, like the amount of money that would probably cost PlayStation as far as, Hey, we're supporting all these devices that are running off of like, and this is me speaking out of turn. Cause I don't even, I guess I don't know the technology that well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Do you think this should and or could get expanded out to more players beyond the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers? Because for me, that's still somewhat a bit limiting. I feel like this is something that more of your audience should be able to access.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
server cost and then we're just flushing money down the drain and it's like and then at that point it's not great it's then the service is gonna crumble yeah i guess and i guess this comes back to like just all the game pass tiers for me where i'm like ultimate still ultimate sounds expensive and maybe i should just look at the chart of like what is the lowest tier what's the middle tier i need like a personal snow bike mic just with me at all times to explain what the different things are but i would have assumed that this would be a thing that's just available to all like all game pass members and maybe not just the ultimate ones

ibex is in the works and on route to mass production we don't have too many details on controller specifics but lynch did say in the replies on x twitter that it'll look like a standard gamepad the biggest change is reportedly the shape and size of the trackpads quote to get into that game paddy form end quote It will also allegedly have symmetrical sticks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I don't want it to be drab. It's crap. I've been trying to avoid actually like a lot of the trailer stuff, so I've not even noticed that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Additionally, Lynch said Valve seems to be working on a new VR controller also for mass production, codenamed Roy. Roy is apparently referenced in Valve's SteamVR code and would supposedly be a wand-shaped companion to the rumored wireless Deckard headset that's also reportedly in the works. So many things reportedly in the works.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Roy would reportedly double as a Steam controller gamepad when not being used with VR, including a D-pad, shoulder buttons, and set of A, B, X, Y buttons for more traditional gameplay in addition to its motion and VR functionality.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
But they've been killing it in hardware lately. Kind of, but also no.

PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
No. There's no way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Lynch did say in the replies that it looked like a standard gamepad. The biggest change is reportedly the shape and size of the trackpads to get into that gamepad-y form. It also allegedly has symmetrical stick. I guess, yeah, if you're going to put the trackpad somewhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I hope not. Because you're right. Like, if we're going based off of, like, even the Steam Deck, then, yeah, the sticks... I mean, the sticks and then the buttons are on the outside.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah, I've seen a lot of people say it's good. IGN gave it a 9 out of 10, which is like the highest score they've ever given for a media thing for entertainment. So yeah, I'm super excited about it. I just want to defy gravity. And I just know. I just know that's what they're going to close on. And I'm like, oh man. I'm going to walk out the theater fucking tears in my eyes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
But, like, the trackpad's under those.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I thought about it all the time. That's because I always went to a friend's house to play the Wii U. I never owned one. And so whenever I picked up a Wii U controller, it was an anomaly. And it was always a, ugh, why'd they do this? This is bizarre. That sounds, it's a great review of this controller.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Nah, man, controllers look like Floyd.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Don't you dare, because Floyd came first. These controllers look like Floyd. Floyd came before controllers? No, Floyd came before these types of controllers. These funk-ass controllers. When Floyd was on the streets, it was like 98. And so he doesn't look like an N64 controller. He doesn't look like a PS1 controller.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
The dong is a big part. Also, that's fan art. Give me, like, an actual picture of Foy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah, why aren't people taking... There we go. That's an actual picture of Foy. Because no one played this game, bless. I did, and I loved it, alright? Did this require the expansion pack? Oh, that's a... I think so. I don't remember. I got this with Donkey Kong 64.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
So probably it was too violent. All the guts. There's so many guts. I mean, there are a lot of guts. You kill the aliens. They fucking explode. It's great. It's a great game. Yeah, very fascinated about Roy and Deckard and Ibex. We'll see what happens with those. Story number four, there's a new Minecraft movie trailer out. And right before the show, Mike was like, bless.

PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
This is giving me Mario movie vibes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah. Mike said it was good in the sense that it was so good that it gave him Mario movie vibes. So the Mario movie, you mean the movie that Mike fell asleep in the middle of?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
If the requirement for Mike to like a movie has to be that he stayed up all the way through it, then Mike likes no movies. You're right. Except for You know Mike's favorite movie? Is it Venom, The Last Dance? Laura Croft, Tomb Raider, Cradle of Life. You're right. You're right. He did love that Tomb Raider. That has taste. Barrett, hit play. Let us watch that. Let's watch this.

I'm not sure. Man, and maybe this is just me being an oldie. But, like, you grab a mushroom and it fucking gets powers. I'm like, yeah, man.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah, the group of actual people. When they stand around, I'm like, this kind of looks like a commercial.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
But then, like, the more we see, like, other shit. Like, stuff that looks natural and designed for the world. I think that stuff looks good. But it does look awkward. Juxtaposed with just fucking people. But I digress. Let's move on to story number five. Final Fantasy XIV has been announced for mobile. This is Cat Bailey at IGN.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Final Fantasy XIV is the latest online multiplayer game to head to mobile, joining Diablo and Monster Hunter, among others. It is being developed by Tencent subsidiary Lightspeed Studios, which is responsible for PUBG Mobile and recently added Dragon's Dogma director Hideaki Itsuno to its ranks as part of its newly established Japan studio. The official release calls it...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
a, quote, exciting extension of the beloved franchise, and says it'll capture the immersive experience of the original title in a fresh, mobile-friendly format. It's unconfirmed whether the new mobile title will include cross-progression or any of the expansions, but Lightspeed Studios does plan to retain lifestyle content, including fishing, triple triad, and chocobo racing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Quote, it has been 11 years since Final Fantasy XIV 2.0, A Realm Reborn, launched, and this new mobile game will be a sister to Final Fantasy XIV. aiming to recreate the grandeur of the original story and combat mechanics on mobile devices. End quote.

for a chance to be a part of the show some of your thoughts and opinions as youtube super chats as we go housekeeping for you did you know that we have a highlights channel uh roger is working hard bringing you the best of kf in shorter easier to binge chunks this entire week is reaction week so come relive some of our favorite e3 and press conference reactions over on youtube.com slash kind of funny
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah, I 100% agree. I think this is one of those wait and see things of, all right, let's see what more information comes out, right? Because I read this as, it's like a new game, but like the same game, you know what I mean? Like this is a completely different version of the same game because it's mobile or whatever. But like in the sense of it's Final Fantasy XIV, it's an MMO.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I feel like there should be connectivity. There should be some kind of crossplay. Do people want to hop in Like, first of all, do people want to hop into a lesser version of the same thing that they've been playing forever, right? Are you even aiming for those people? Are you trying to get new people?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
And like, what is stopping those new people from just playing base 14 on their actual device, right? Final Fantasy 14 is one of those things that's so prolific and so available that I'm like, just play the actual game if you have the choice. So, like, I feel like the right move would be to figure out how to make this cross-progression and cross-save and all that stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I don't know. Because I think of things like Genshin Impact, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
You are playing the same game. Honestly, I'm not saying that. I know game development is fucking hard, right? Not saying that's the same. But if they can do it for Genshin Impact, I feel like there's got to be a way to make it work for Final Fantasy XIV and have that be an absolute hit. That is how you do it right. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Is you figure out a way to make it an all-encompassing experience, whether you're playing on mobile, playing on PC, or doing the same thing, right? And building towards the same things. Yeah. Story number six. Pokemon Go players have been unknowingly training an AI to auto-complete the real world. This is Rebecca Valentine at IGN.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
And this is one of those ones where I forget what... Couldn't be me. There was a conversation... I don't know who they're talking about. There was a conversation I think I had on this show a while ago where I put on my tinfoil hat. And I was like, there's something happening beneath Pokemon Go.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Because there's too much power as far as putting these games in everybody's hands and having them walk around the earth. You're making Fat Man walk. They're making you walk everywhere in the collecting data. And I finally have my answers. This is like when Mr. Crocker finally proved that Timmy Turner had fairly odd parents, which I don't know if that actually ever happened.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
You feel like you did what he didn't. I did what Mr. Crocker wasn't able to do. I've been after these motherfuckers for a while. The story reads like this. Pokemon Go developer Niantic is hard at work building and training an AI to essentially be able to auto-complete real-world locations with only a limited amount of information, and it's using data collected by Pokemon Go players to do it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Also, I'm going to pause there and just say, video game news is wild in 2024.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Of course, kind of funny, is an 11-person business all about live talk shows. So today, after KFGD, you're going to get our Gamescast, which is our Stalker 2 review so far. Come join us. I believe Snowbike Mike's been playing it and has a lot to say about it, so you'll want to tune in for that. And then afterwards is the stream, and that's going to be Greg and myself learning Magic the Gathering.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Could you imagine this headline in 2014? No. No. Like, what does that even mean? It's like they're using AI in all of our phones with the game that we're playing to auto-complete the real world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
In an official blog post spotted by Garbage Day and reported on by 404 Media, Niantic revealed that it's building something called a large geospatial model. Some villain shit. Who's the villain in Phineas and Ferb? Is it Dr. Doofenshmirtz? Yeah. I feel like Dr. Doofenshmirtz... This motherfucker did not... Oh, is it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I just want the world to know that somebody else. And it's not just me that knows. He doesn't want to be alone, everybody. Get this man a blankie. But yeah, Dr. Doof. Dr. Doofenshmirtz would come up with a large geospatial model. Just saying. You may already know what a large language model is. It's ChatGPT.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
It's an AI that is trained on enormous amounts of existing text so that it can produce text on its own that sounds normal and conceivably like what a user might want to hear. A large geospatial model is essentially the same idea, but applied to the physical world. It's trained on what real-world places look like. A church, a park, a house, etc.,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
And then it can use that data to produce information on what actual places it hasn't seen yet might look like. Niantic claimed that this will be useful for technology such as AR glasses, robotics, content creations, and other things. Or as Niantic put it, quote, imagine yourself standing behind a church.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Let us assume the closest local model has seen only the front entrance of that church, and thus it'll not be able to tell you where you are. The model has never seen the back of that building. But on a global scale, we have seen a lot of churches End quote. But to make this work, Niantic needs a lot of data to train that AI on, and it can only do so much on its own.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Fortunately, Niantic has thousands of people globally pointing their phones at things and sending that information back via its various projects and apps, Pokemon Go included. For now, Niantic said it's using the data explicitly to develop its own technologies that it then turns around and implements into existing products.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Pretty cool. Something I've always wanted to learn how to do. A lot of my friends play Magic the Gathering, and I feel left out when they do their little magic hangs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
The reasons, Barrett, because you got to think about it. They're filling in the gaps of the world. Once they have a complete model of every fucking corner.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
It's going to take too long to take pictures of the entire Earth, Barrett. But if we can have our users take pictures of the earth for us and use the AI that we have to like fill in all the gaps so we can have an accurate, accurate, like, you know, like an accurate model of the entire earth, you can use that for things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
and I'm looking through the window like Squidward, and I'm like, I want to be with them. I want to learn magic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah. And, like, I am, honestly, like, genuinely, even though a lot of this is, like, damn, technology's crazy and kind of scary, I am fascinated to see, like, all right, what are you actually going to use this data for? Because, like, it's not, like, we already have things like Google Maps. It's all the same shit. It's all the same shit. Waymo's going around the fucking city. They're doing this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
So, like, they say here, right, that Niantic said it's using the data explicitly to develop its own technologies that it then turns around and implements into existing products. I wonder... One, I wonder if they can sell that data. They must be able to sell it, right? They must be able to be like, hey, Google, we literally have the earth. If you want to improve Google Maps, here, boom.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah. Oh, shit. I tried to take the, like, the Magic the Gathering people were very nice and they sent over, like, the foundation packs and, like, a bunch of stuff. And I tried to take it home. And they're like, oh, you're going to learn here. And I was like, oh, cool. Oh, neat. Nothing can go wrong. I'm sure I'm going to learn all the rules by the end of the stream. It's going to be a great one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Like, we've done it with AI. Like, you're going to have the perfect model of whatever, right? Like, I wonder if they can sell that data and, like, what that then becomes, or I wonder if Niantic is like, hey, we have the power now to create some really advanced products.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
This is me putting my tinfoil hat on. I don't think it's games. I think they're using this for some kind of software. It's AR.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
There's a lot of conversation in chat, which I love looking at. Somebody mentioned, do you think Google's not already doing this? I understand that Google's already doing this to some extent. Niantic has the benefit of having a app. People on the streets. They have soldiers on the streets. Niantic has people, regular human beings that are actively going out and for fun, recording everything.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
There's nothing regular about us. You're right, you're right. But you are civilians. They have civilians on the streets that are literally recording things for them. Google obviously has the technology to capture this shit. They do it in different ways, obviously. But yeah, like Niantic is just uniquely positioned in this instance.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I just think to take advantage of this technology in ways that I think could make them a lot more money outside of just video games, right? Like you mentioned AR, which I think is a large part of it, right? But I think it is that like that back and forth flow of like the AR is how they're getting that information.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Can they flip that into something that's going to then, yeah, maybe create their next big AR product that's going to, yeah, take over the world and make them a lot of money. Yes. But Tim, whatever this ends up being, I am confident to say that this will be big. It's going to be big. But if I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I need us to know about, where would I go?

Richard Wakeling at GameSpot gave it an 8 out of 10 and says, Stalker 2, Heart of Chernobyl, is rough around the edges, but its propensity for creating emergent moments in a deadly and alluring world makes this trip back to the zone a fraught and compelling experience. So... PC Gamer gave it an 83 out of 100, and VGC gave it a 2 out of 5. I feel like VGC's been on a tear recently.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
There's no, don't fuck around with VGC. They don't fuck around. You know, they don't fuck around. You put out a game, they don't like it, they'll tell you. They'll tell you. And I'll also say that, like, from the streets, I've heard that Soccer 2, I've heard plenty of people, plenty of reviewers be like, ah, like, just frustrated, just very buggy of the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Yeah. Is this not something that I guess should have been there from launch? Is this not something that should have been like maybe a main marketing beat of what the PlayStation portal can do?

Can I tell you what else is good? I said this a couple days ago, but I'm gonna say it again. Case of the Golden Idol. I've been playing this game. It's been one of those frustrating things where I've just not had enough time in the day to play this game as much as I want to play it. And so I do a puzzle a day, essentially, off of Case of the Golden Idol. Does that satiate you? Yes and no.

Like, then why are we doing this for?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
This is such a big update, right? This is one of those ones where, you know, I am kind of surprised that... I guess I'm not surprised that this wasn't a main selling point from the get-go because it wasn't there from the get-go, and there are reasons why it wasn't there from the get-go. You imagine maybe it wasn't ready.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Maybe, yeah, because it wasn't, like, the main advertised feature, they wanted to get remote play out the door and then just add to it over time as they're, like, you know... as they're able to pace it out and actually have that stuff prepared and ready to go. Hey, this is a remote play device. That's how we're thinking about it first and foremost.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I guess on my side, I think the idea of a cloud streaming device is just more enticing than the idea of a remote play device. And I don't know if that's just me and like being in... I guess the bucket of type of player that I am where remote play has never been something that I've been extremely into, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Like I've always, I remember listening to Greg on podcast talking about like PlayStation Vita remote play and like, you know, how cool the thing that was. And, you know, I would do it every now and then, even for the PlayStation portal, when we're reviewing it, I remote played some games that way. And that's how I beat cocoon. That's how I played through a couple of other games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
And that was always a neat thing to me. But internet has always been a thing that I've not had good luck with as far as, you know, my PlayStation and my portal being at a place where they're working off of networks that are strong enough to support this, right? Like, I'll be on either my home internet fucking sucks or I'm at a place where the Wi-Fi fucking sucks. And like, I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I want to do more. Right? I'm like, yesterday I finished KFGD, I get off of Gamescast, and I'm like, alright, let me eat some lunch. You know, I finish eating my lunch, and I'm like, oh, we got a game that I gotta preview, so let me do that. But I was like, mm, before we get there, though, like, oh, I still wanna prepare some other things that I'm producing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
That chemistry between having two products that are on extremely good internet, I feel like that scenario was just so limited for me. The idea of, oh, I have a PlayStation portal, and I just need to be in one place that has really good Wi-Fi to make this work and play this 120 list of games, that's fucking awesome to me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
For me, that makes it way, I think I'm way more likely now to bust out my portal than I have been in the last year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
i almost i'm almost at the place of man if you're an outlet that reviewed the playstation portal last year when it came out like i wonder if now you're gearing up for some kind of re-review because i am thinking now about our review conversation and how much of it was hey if you are somebody that likes remote play like this is the product for you now like after this beta and we'll see like how this is expands out at post beta and what that looks like right like this is to a place where
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
The conversation for me has grown so much as far as what you're talking about. Like, hey, this is a product that they're pushing a little bit more than you assume that they would have pushed. When they announced this, we talked about it as being, this is purely an accessory.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Like, this is just a way to, you know, an additive way for a very specific group of PlayStation audience players to play, right? It is an additional thing. You talked about the 20th, 30th, which anniversary is it? Whatever anniversary it is, it has to be 30, right? 30th anniversary, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 30th. The 30th anniversary PlayStation Portal.

Alright, cool, let me do this preview game, and I was hoping that after that, I'd have at least enough time to do just one puzzle case of the Golden Idol, and I just didn't have the time. And I was like, fuck, well, after I get home from work, I got soccer practice, but I also gotta eat dinner. And I'm like, man, I just want to play video game. Just one specific video game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah. them doing the anniversary PlayStation Portal, like, guess what? They didn't do an anniversary PlayStation fucking VR 2, right? Like, there's a reason why there's a Portal anniversary and that's because they see it as something worth pushing and I think this feature might be just the first step, right? I think
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
If you would ask me before, I would say, oh, I don't think we get a PlayStation Portal 2. I think this is what it is. I wouldn't be surprised, not that it's imminent, but by the time we get around to, let's say, PlayStation 6, I think you get another PlayStation Portal, and I think it is... these features that you're seeing here, and probably more, right?

I don't know if he has Game Informer money in his pockets to buy the IP, right? Do they be together? Do they do that? So, like, that's the first question I get of, all right, how does that happen? But then secondly, like, I guess, would it happen at this pace? Would it happen this fast? Or would it have taken a bit longer?

that's the thing is i i i was saying it can start right like all the people that worked at game that actually worked at game informer i think are smart and know what they're doing and i think those are all discussions that they're probably having as far as all right this might be our last hurrah with game informer or like this might be our last chance to make something of this and turning into something special yeah what are all the things that people actually want from game informer how do we give them the nostalgia how do we give them the physical stuff how do we like you know retain all the history has to be part of it right

Physical is money, and physical also isn't successful, depending on how you do it.

Or there are events that'll have like open bars. And it's like, if there's an open bar...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I agree. Let's move on to story number two. Hasbro wants Baldur's Gate 4, but isn't in a hurry. This is Victoria Kennedy at Eurogamer. Hasbro has, quote, a lot of people very interested in Baldur's Gate as developer Larian moves away from the series. Baldur's Gate 3 released toward the end of 2023 and became a smashing success toward the end. August toward the end. It's like the eighth month.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
It's the second half, you know? That's not toward the end. It's four months. July is in the second half of the year. It's the last third.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Actually, yeah. August is not toward the end of the year. Towards the end. We're going towards the end. Okay, the end of the year is December. Yeah, we're going towards the end. Towards the end of the year is November, maybe October. We're going towards the end, though. You're getting towards the towards the end. It's not like you're going towards the beginning.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
August is smack dab in the middle, basically.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
From a country that doesn't recognize August. They're an 11-month country. Baldur's Gate 3 released toward the end of 2023 and became a smashing success for Dungeons & Dragons owner Hasbro, as well as Larry. It released in the beginning of August, too, I'm pretty sure. Unless I got that mixed up. Maybe that was review code. I digress. The game won scores of praise and awards across the world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
And last year, Larian's director of publishing, Michael Dowse, revealed the game's average daily peak. I think I was playing it in, like, July. For the review.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Oh, I'm sorry.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Eurogamer, if you make mistakes like these, you're going to end up like Game 4. I'm just saying you got to figure your shit out. Toward the end of the year. Holy shit. August. And y'all are telling me that August isn't even in fall. Remember that. And it's toward the end of the year. August is summer. August is summer. But you're talking about game releases. Never mind.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I'm digging a hole for myself. Back to the article. However, despite this heady success, Larian is moving on from Baldur's Gate and has confirmed two games are currently in the works, both of which will be based on his own IPs and described as the studio's best work ever. So where does that leave the future of Baldur's Gate?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Well, there are plenty of others who are very interested in Baldur's Gate. SVP of Digital Games at Hasbro, Dan Ayub, has said, quote, We're kind of working out what our plans are for the future and what we're going to be doing with that. And actually, in pretty short order, we're going to have some stuff to talk about around that, are you told IGN during this week's GDC event in San Francisco.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Now, while the wording of in pretty short order certainly sounds promising, this doesn't mean we're about to suddenly get Baldur's Gate 4. In fact, Hasbro isn't quote in a hurry for that particular game. Quote, that's the thing. We're going to take a very measured approach. We've got a lot of plans, a lot of different ways to go about it. We're starting to think about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Okay, yeah, we're ready to start dipping toes a little bit and talking about a few things, Ayub explained, with the publication adding the exec said he eventually wants a Baldur's Gate 4, but it'll take some time. As for other Hasbro Dungeons & Dragons games, Ayub said he is, quote, "...never one to shy down from a challenge."
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
After all, there are several other D&D based games in the works, and in November, Hasbro announced following the success of Baldur's Gate 3, yet another Dungeons & Dragons game was in production.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Quote, I think anything that forces us to raise our creative bar, and developers love to have a high bar to go after, and I think we've actually seen the team push some really interesting ideas that they're like, okay, we need to raise our bar. We need to go bigger on this. And things like that, so I think... And things like that, I guess. So I think that's our hope, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
We will keep raising the bar, and everyone just tries to go a little higher. IU closed.

Oh, I do like that. 20 years for no predictions. Okay, my 20-year prediction is that some poor developer... Has to follow up Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian. And, like, they're going to make it. They're going to put out Baldur's Gate 4, let's say, eight years from now. And everybody's going to be like, ah, but it ain't Baldur's Gate 3, though. It can never be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Yeah, it's never going to be Baldur's Gate 3. They made one of the best games of all time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
So what's going to happen? Hasbro is going to crawl back to Larian and be like, please, we'll give you a billion dollars. Just make Baldur's Gate 5. That's what's going to happen.

Because, like, here's the thing is, I don't know if I can think... And granted, this isn't my... I'm not, like, the CRPG expert here, and so I'm not going to tell you, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
But it's hard for me to think of a developer that specializes in that kind of game that's going to do it better than Larian. Like, even before Baldur's Gate 3, right?

Like, speaking of Alex Van Aken, Alex Van Aken, when both me and him were doing OK Beast, he was the one that was playing Divinity Original Sin 2 and was speaking its praises to me and made me realize, like, oh, shit, this Divinity Original Sin 2 game is the shit. It's like a 10 out of 10 video game. And, like, the only people... Like, the people who knew...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
new right but Baldur's Gate 3 I think put that studio on a different level because it paired them with an IP that people really care about now people understand that Larian are the goats when it comes to this shit I know there are other developers who are very good at making people are saying Owlcat people are saying InXile and that's the thing is like we can name these studios fuck yeah CRG is hilarious we can name these studios but like I don't know if any of them are going to make a Baldur's Gate that's as good as Baldur's Gate 3
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Yeah. So then it's like, do you redefine what it is a little bit? Because then if you do want to go CD Projekt Red, which I don't think is the right choice, honestly, but if you do want to go with them, it's going to be a different type of game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I think you either wait or you have to take it in a dynamically different direction that is going to make people either not love it as much or might really resonate with people. My booking for this, and this is going to piss people off, Supergiant. I think after they're done with Hades, I think you pair them with the Baldur's Gate IP and go, hey, do something with this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25

Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Well, let's think on it some more. Because I do like, my favorite thing to do on the show is fantasy booking. I love it. Because I'm thinking about the super giant characters. I'm thinking about how much people love Baldur's Gate. Mike's walking in. Is he coming in? I'm always nervous when Mike walks in. He's looking around. I don't know if he's looking for a mic.

He looks like he's looking for a mic. He smiles at us and does this. You never know what he's about to do. You faked us out a little bit, too. Yeah, I don't know. I just think about how much people love those characters in Baldur's Gate. I think about how much, you know, Asterion resonates with people. Karlak, you know, Shadowheart. How much Baldur's Gate is about...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
obviously the story of the world but the characters and the relationship between the characters and i look at supergiant and i'm like y'all do that so well and i'd be interested to see them take the like obviously they made they made a excellent top tier roguelite right i think they'd have have it in them to make a big open world crpg kind of thing but you're right that like do i want them to do that or do i want them to continue to find their own really unique thing to do

They will also have a booth on the show floor and will distribute a zine at the event with more information on how to join.

for being the first to complete Split Fiction's secret level, which has appropriately been dubbed Laser Hell. The reward for being the first to achieve the feat, or at least the first to share evidence of it, is a trip to Hazelight's home base in Sweden for a sneak peek at Split Fiction Studios' next game. To get into the level, you need to input a binary code using two yellow buttons.

You will then descend into laser hell and be faced with several laser-based challenges. Not only you, but the player two you've chosen to embark on your split-fiction adventure alongside you. Once you reach the end of the level, there will be two more yellow buttons, and hitting them will activate an in-game video from Ferris himself.

Bloons TD6 estimates suggest that this installment has generated approximately $82 million in revenue on Steam alone. On Steam alone. These games are on mobile and they're fucking huge.

We have six stories today. A baker's dozen! Starting with our number one, Roger. Yeah. Is Game Informer back? What? This morning, as I was prepping KHT, I went on Blue Sky, and I saw a quote tweet from a person very surprised at a tease from GameInformer.com on Blue Sky. It was a video. Bear has it pulled up here. If you're a visual watcher, you can see it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
If you're an audio listener, it is the Game Informer. Kind of like the shutdown website where they just put up the message of Game Informer is gone. But then some code at the bottom that says continued? And then the date from March 25th, 2025. Now, if that's not enough...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I got a post from the one and only, the homie, former member of OKBeast, Alex Van Aken, who worked at Game Informer, where he just put up a GIF that's like a continued screen at the end of an arcade game, right? Continued. You can see a Game Informer magazine in the back there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Yeah, that was my exact reaction, right? Because I saw the Game of Thrones tweet first. I was like, oh, brother, here we go. This is going to be some bullshit. Yeah, exactly. And so now this is very interesting. Are you rehiring everybody? Are you rehiring most of the people?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Yeah, that's the thing I'm wondering is, is this still under GameStop? I imagine it is, right? Oh, interesting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I don't think so. You think they got the license away from it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I've been drunk since Sunday. Maybe drunk right now. I might still be drunk. Who knows? GDC Week, let me tell you, we got to take this week off as a company.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Dude, if this is like they were able to get the license away from GameStop and just start it up themselves, that would be the coolest thing to ever happen. I... don't see GameStop as a company that would sell that IP. It's a weird one because obviously they're not doing shit with it. Obviously they shut it down. They don't care about GameInformer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
But GameStop is still a... They're still a corporation, right? And they're still... I think there is still value in the GameInformer name. People know what GameInformer is, right? They've supported GameInformer for long enough to where the average GameStop frequenter knows what that is. And that's so many people. And I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I could have seen a reality where GameStop, honestly, I would have thought that it would be longer than this, but I'll say a couple years from now, do get the bright idea of, all right, let's bring back Game Informer. Why did we shut that down? Let's do that because we can then do this and this and put AI in it. I would have thought that you would have gone down that route.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
sure i just don't know what the use use for game stop having game informer is anymore in 2025 i mean i think it is have as few staff as possible and allow ai to like drive the bulk of the first of all i don't think alex finn and i i don't i won't i don't speak for alex finn i don't think he would want to be a part of if it was like hey oh yeah i'm talking about my like you know you bring again in my theoretical how this would come back would have been like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
you know what i mean like let's stop coming in during the day give it like coming here in the night listen you know like everybody's in town and so all i want to do is hang out with people and go out and like go to the gdc like mixers and like talk to people i'm a man of the people roger that's what they say i'm very extroverted that's what they say it's all like not in the mornings though don't talk to me before 12 p.m don't talk to me before i've had my coffee before i have my coffee
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I would have given it another year or so. And yeah, it wouldn't have been Alex Van Aken. It would have been some no-name person who just wanted to break into the space, and then GameStop looks at them and goes, all right, cool, now save all this money, put AI in all this shit. Alex Van Aken being a part of this, like, no, this is a real thing. This is a real thing, and I still...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I still don't know what to make of it, right? I could see it being a thing of conversations happening post-Game Informer going away of, oh, damn, we might have fucked that up. Because to bring it back a bit... game informer shit went down, right? Website went offline.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Um, but then it was also the thing of this back and forth between, um, the parent company and the people that worked at game informer who just wanted to say like goodbye to their audience and wanted to like have this be a, all right, we're ushering this out, but we want to like, you know, do it in a way that's graceful in a way that gives the audience closure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
If you remember, they're like making tweets on the game informer account of like, Hey, like, you know, this is our, our last raw, like, you know, yada, yada and end game or whatever. Endgame. Yeah, and, like, GameStop shut that down, right? Like, they took the account away from them, they forwarded their page for all intents and purposes, and... Yeah, like that was messy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
And I think it was messy in such a public way that makes me wonder if that opened their eyes to, oh, there might be value here. People actually kind of care about this thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
It feels like, yeah, it's been maybe almost a year kind of fun. Chad, let us know, when did Game Informer first go down?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
People are saying August 2024 is when it went down, which is more recent than I would have thought. It's how fast the video game industry moves. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, and I guess I don't even see it as necessarily value to the GameStop company in terms of monetary value. Right now, I don't know if there's anything that's going to bring monetary value to the GameStop company, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
It's a seeking ship, but I think it's a seeking ship in the way of... Alright, like, Game Informer's not gonna fucking save GameStop by any means. I don't think they're gonna add, like, that much of a monetary value add to GameStop by any means, but I think maybe as far as give a, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
bring back some goodwill, bring back some personality, bring back, like, something that people objectively liked from GameStop. You know, like, I think GameStop is in such a weird place of trying to figure shit out. And they've been there for a very long time now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I remember back in, was it 2020, when we were talking about news stories of them trying to do, like, these experimental stories that were supposed to be more about people hanging out and, like, playing games and stuff in the store.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
at yeah you know and I think they're just throwing shit at wall and seeing what sticks and I think publishing games back in the day I think being waffling on Game Informer being like oh no we're getting rid of it actually maybe we bring back like maybe there's something there there it for me it strikes me as we just don't know what we're doing and we know that this is the thing that people like and so let's bring it back just for that goodwill I think the thing that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
In the way that you talk about the game's entry moves fast, in the same way, I think deals like this move slow as far as if this was a thing of Alex Van Aken and the homies somehow bought Game Informer back from GameStop One, where is that money coming from, right? Like, who can afford Game Informer? I love Alex Van Aken.

We'll have all this and more because this is kind of funny games daily. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Wednesday, April 16th, 2025. I'm one of your hosts, Blessing Adeoye Jr. Joining me is the master of hype, Snowbike Mike.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
You're never allowed to change your opinion on a thing. I'm fucking hyped about Mario Kart World. And that's because it is a substantial step forward as far as the features and as far as the modes and as far as what they're doing with this one. But with that, that brings in a lot of questions. For me, the main couple of questions that I have are...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
What is the full breadth of what you're doing with online? Okay. We're in a new generation now. Gotta be better. It's Switch 2. Online has to be better. And then also, I just expect, based on the fact that you are upping the amount of players that you have in a race for this thing, right? You have knockout mode. You have these lobbies where you're kind of roaming in the open area.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
What does more of that look like as far as how online-focused this game might be? Or not even online-focused, but I guess what is your focus on online? What are you bringing to that experience that is going to make that special? My second thing that I am looking forward to seeing out of this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
And for you, because I view you as more of the, I guess, like, you probably played online in this game more than I did. I played a lot. I played a lot of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but I feel like online wasn't necessarily my go-to outside of, I don't know, maybe playing with some friends on Discord or whatever. But I assume, you being Snow White, Mike, were you organizing tournaments?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Were you organizing community stuff?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I think the fact that you have the online lobby being a drive-around sort of area, I don't think you're going to be in the... You know how they had it as you're looking at the planet, and then you had people. You're just sitting on a screen telling people you're using tilt controls.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
you know like i don't expect that i expect it to be more of a hey we're hanging out kind of thing here and with that yeah i would hope that you have a bit more control as far as yeah like i wanted to be me and my friends fucking around but then also being like all right this is the race that we're gonna do and hopping in there and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Think like Limbo. Think like Inside. But the art style is pixel art, but it still maintains that same atmosphere that you expect from a puzzle platformer like a Limbo. One of the main gimmicks I've only played about
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Allowing you as the lobby leader or your party to have full control over the way you want to play.

I'm not touching 200. 200 is way too fast.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I think if Nintendo is doing this the right way, you add a ranked mode. Not even for the thing of we want to support the try-hards, the people that are in this competitively, but even for the people that are on the way more casual side, ranked mode is good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
This is a thing that I learned through playing fighting games is the fact that, hey, if you want to play people that are on your level, that's what ranked is for. Mm-hmm.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
ranked is to appropriately put you at the place of people that are playing at your ranked right and so like sure that's gonna that's gonna put people in the mode of oh i gotta become the best mario carter in the world but also that's cool that's a fucking all you want to get good at your video game but then at the same time you want people to be categorized with people that are their appropriate skill level so they're not getting frustrated when they're doing random match or quick match or whatever and then matching with the
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
30 minutes 40 minutes of this video game because every video game is coming out at the same time right and so like i got it and i i the reason why i drafted it is because i've been looking forward to bionic bay like quite a few maybe about a month ago or so i did a stream where i was just looking forward to games coming out throughout the year and i saw bionic bay watch the trailer and i was like yo

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
You can choose either. I support you either way. When you see the open... open world kind of setup that we have going on in Mario Kart world. Like what do you want out of that experience?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, I mean, 1,000%. When you say collectibles, my brain gets excited about what you can do with that. Because it could be, all right, you're running into characters and you're unlocking Moo Moo, the cow, or whatever. Or you're unlocking the skeleton fish that apparently can drive a cart. You're unlocking those rain mask characters that we're seeing that they have in the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I would also love to see, yeah, what kind of carts can you unlock? One thing that's a dream for me, but that I think would be super dope, would be if you could collect... If there was, like, a Mario Kart radio, and you can collect, like, classic Mario tracks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, to, like, add to your radio station. If you're doing an open-world driving game, you kind of have to have a radio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I mean, different types of races. Obviously we've already seen the knockout mode, right? Which is really cool. And that's a longer mode. I, to your point of what if I pull up on, on Luigi, like what if it is a, Hey, you pull up on Luigi and it is a short race. It is, Hey, we're drag racing and you have a minute to like get to the other side of wherever this thing is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
pick it up this looks different like I dropped a linking assets if you want to bring up the steam page and like play some footage because like this is one where if you're a fan of the games that I mentioned yeah you should keep your eye on this one of the main gimmicks that I've encountered early on which might just be the main gimmick of the game yeah is that you can like tap objects within the world and you
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
like i want to see them play with that format because they now they have the space to do it right before when it was no here's your here's your grand prix it is four tracks and the four tracks more traditional whatever like i understand why you don't have that variation i think i'm in a mode that maybe i'm painting this too much to be like forza horizon or whatever yeah the world loves forza horizon and this is your shot to do it i'll love to see that kind of variety i'll love to talk to characters i'd love to have it be a diddy kong racing i'm sure the chat or barrett can correct me but do you know how many people are allowed in the free roam
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I would like to see that. That's where... I start to wonder how they do it, where I think when you're driving around with your friends, that's a lobby mode. I don't think you're going to have the collectibles and missions and stuff like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, but I think they save that stuff for single player. I think that's just how you lobby up and hang out, but then the purpose there is to usher you into whatever race you want to do. I think single player is where you're running into Luigi and being like, yo, let's drag race.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Here's the thing that stood out to me is that it wasn't choose the wheels, choose the cart, choose the glider. It was just straight up choose a cart.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
like it was you choose your character and then they have like a bunch of different like already made carts that you're choosing where you're not i do like that because i i felt like i was always behind same because i didn't know the meta or i didn't understand i would always be choosing maybe the wrong three pack there yeah so i do appreciate that yeah that i uh i like a lot i i prefer as far as characters and stuff i i think we're gonna get way more characters right how many how
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Give me a number. I don't know, because the 24 racers throws me off as far as how many characters you want to have as part of this thing. Because I think you then want to have way more characters than you had in 8. And I think they're hiding a lot from us so far. Because when you look at the character roster, it is Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong, Moo Moo, Skeleton Fish.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
There's a range of characters that we're missing in the middle. Where I'm like, who are you leaving out?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
change positions with that object so like you'll see a big rock or something right you tap the rock and like an effect will happen and then you'll jump and then like you click b and then all of a sudden you switch places with it and so now it's you trying to figure out how to like you know change positions at the right place so that you can either like block a laser or you can dodge a thing or you can get across a chasm oh it's really cool and look at the art style
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, so Bear brings up the key art that has just a bunch of characters on it, which I think does give us a pretty good idea of what to expect. I think... You got the penguin. The Goomba. Wait, where's the penguin at? Over in the water.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, the penguin's very cool. That's cool. I love the penguin.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I wonder, and this could be a DLC thing, probably is a DLC thing, but crossover characters?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Because, again, you have such a range of Mario characters that jump to Moomoo. And I love that they jump to Moomoo because Moomoo is a Mario Kart statement. Moomoo has been here since the beginning, right? Shout out to my guy, Moomoo. But... To not have a, like, to not have the Bowser kids makes me wonder, are they incorporated in a single player story mode? Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Is by racing them?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
And to be clear, when I was playing, in the character select screen, you would have regular Mario, regular Peach, and all that stuff. But then you would also have their costumed selves, like different versions of their costumes, in that same character select screen. Okay. So they are permanent unlocks. Okay. But yeah, they didn't really specify how you permanently unlock them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, I don't remember.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
No, I don't think so. Yeah. No, it's like immediate. Like you hop in, you're in the sky and then your, your cart transforms or your cart like gets wings or whatever flies, but it's not like, Oh, this is a jet ski race. Even though maybe there's a, maybe there is a, like a track that's all water or whatever. And they have you on that. That'd be fucking sick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
But I don't, I don't, I don't get the vibe, but that's where, that's where they're going.

Mike, what if I told you I had notes?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
This isn't going to happen, but I want it to happen. Knockout battle mode. I want a battle royale battle mode. Give me a battle mode with a bunch of people on it. And it is, even if you give me a shrinking circle, fuck it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, but I think outside of that, you're going to get a battle mode. What do you want out of a battle mode?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
This is what I'm talking about right here. This is a blessing-ass video game right here. This is a blessing-ass video game if I've ever heard it. The thing that sucks is that I'm playing another blessing-ass video game, Blueprints, and it's taking up all my time. Isn't that game so good? It's unbelievable. We haven't really caught up on it. Have you beat it? No. Have you beat it?

You joke, but hey, you know, think about it. Think about it. But no, yeah, like, I think there's a longer conversation to be had, but we can have it at another time. This is the time. We're talking. Well, we're longer than the show and I want to get super chats, but also, like, I feel like battle mode hasn't been battle mode for a minute. I feel like we hit the height with 64. Yes. And, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Make it feel like one of the main things. Yeah, make it feel part of the things. I want to bring in some super chats, of course, that ask you guys what your predictions, hopes, and dreams were for Mario Kart. Kabobs writes in and says, I want stats detached from parts and characters. Kabobs, you're getting that. Like I mentioned, you're not choosing parts anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, I see Kabob saying that's not what I meant. I assume Kabob's meant what you're talking about.

Yeah, that's the catch. Every single time where I'm like, oh, this is the run where I'm going to finish the game, I find something new and I start chasing that thing instead.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Okay, so here's the thing. They released a deluxe version of Mario Kart 8, and they were like, all right, we're done. That's it. I don't think they planned for DLC until they realized they're like, fuck, 50 million people bought this. We should do something with it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
They have the stats. This is me rewinding back to 2013. Mario Kart 8 had regular DLC, right?

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
They already got that. I missed it. My bad. Well, they have more of those, though. I hope not. No, you're not going to have them.

You don't think they team up with Porsche? You think they have a Cybertruck? The Mario truck?

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
You don't want the Pauline Tesla? Think about it. She's a political figure. What's more of a thing to do as Pauline than partner up? You know? These are all true things.

Ninja Fingers writes in, this is Mario Kart, but I'll read it because I already said your name. Mike, T2 Judgment Day, you're literally identical to the security guard that gets taken out by the T-1000 at the vending machine. It's uncanny.

Dee Davis says, I'm hoping we get a story mode. Make it the Diddy Kong Racing of Mario Kart. Do we get a story mode? Maybe. But, like, what do you want out of a story mode? Because even when you say the Diddy Kong racing, right? I guess when you say story mode, do you mean story? Because Diddy Kong racing didn't have a story.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

It was just like a little mini hub world that would just go from Grand Prix to Grand Prix.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Sure, I'm down for a story, but I guess a story that has really just set me up to do races. I don't think Nintendo is ever going to get in their duffy as far as the plot of Mario Kart 8 or Mario Kart World, which I'm totally fine with. Just give me a reason to collect things, and it could be as simple as Bowser kidnapped all the car dealers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I mean, we should do a spoiler. Because it's crazy how far ahead I am on certain things and how far behind I am on certain other things. Because I'm playing and Kev sees my screen. He's like, oh, only two letters? Exactly. And I'm like, brother, I just figured out how to get these letters. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
No, I don't want Mario to say words to me. That's how much of a story I don't want. If Mario starts speaking more than three words in a sentence, then we've done something wrong here. Do you think Chris Pratt will return? Wow. He's so cool. Yo, what's up, guys? I'm Mario. I was also Garfield. I was also Garfield. I was also fucking Star Lord.

Inner Jetstream writes in and says, won't be shown tomorrow, but imagine DLC coming as cross-universe worlds to explore. Exploring Hyrule, Brinstar, Green Greens, etc. would be dreamlike. That's actually pretty cool. Garfield's house. Let's get in that. Garfield's house. Let's do that. Mike. That brings us to the end of Mario Kart World Conversation. We'll see you guys tomorrow.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah. You know, I think it's just like the, uh, It's so unprecedented that I don't think Nintendo even knows how to operate in this situation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I'm starting to get worried. The more you mention it, the more you say it, the more I'm like, yeah, I guess this would be a right time to put out a press release after this thing to be like, hey, by the way, pre-orders are going up.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah. I think that looks super cool. And yeah, I, I, I'm with you of like, I feel like the console raps came a couple of years ago and they like really promoted it with, was it Starfield? Starfield.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
And I'm glad it's back. I want to see it for Outer Worlds 2. I want to see it for some of their bigger titles as well. I think there's a lot of opportunity for that. I hope they sell well. I hope they do well enough to where it's a mainstay because I think they're really cool.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, I think I lean towards the Greg side of, like, how much I use my phone or even my computer at my desk to, like, redeem codes or buy things or scroll through things, right? Like, somebody tells me about a game right now, and I'm just, like, hanging out at a bar or whatever. I have the Steam app on my phone, and I'll immediately go to Steam and, like, hit wishlist there. That's cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I love where we're at with that stuff. I'm actually surprised. As I saw this story, I was surprised that these weren't already functions for the Xbox version. So I think that's really good that they got that in there because that is just ushering us to the future. And then streaming games, of course, like let's go for the games that you own.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25

And so I made sure to get it in there today. This is from Lan Pitts at GameSpot.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
It feels like all bets are off when it comes to the story. How the story is structured is something else. Following the launch of The Final Shape last year, Bungie announced changes to how it planned to deliver content, switching from seasons to episodes, while also announcing the future of Destiny 2 as codename Frontiers. Starting with Destiny's Edge of Fate,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
The game will get two expansions with four major updates per year. Fans have been eager to know specifics regarding what's next for Destiny 2 as the episodic content has now come to a close and any sort of schedule have remained a mystery. This latest expansion for Destiny 2 is expected to be what was given the codename Apollo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Per the roadmap Bungie released back in September, Apollo was scheduled to release sometime in summer 2025. Apollo is planned to be a paid expansion with new stories, locations, missions, and more. However, it won't be the only update coming to the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Bungie is also planning another full expansion called Behemoth for Winter 2025, which will also have the two major updates leading into spring of next year. Mike? I have somebody from the outside looking in of Destiny 2. I haven't played much Destiny 2 outside of, like, I played a lot at launch. Like, I played, like, 80 hours at launch.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
And then, like, I'll peek in for expansions here and there, but then I'll drop off because, like, I don't know. We're too deep in the well. You know what I mean? Like, the game's too advanced now. The plot's too deep. I'm like, I don't know where I'm at. I don't know who these people are. I'm scared. I thought it was done. I thought the final shape was the final thing.

Be smart and safe out there. From VGC, Niantic has confirmed that it has laid off 68 staff following the sale of its games business. That sucks. Yeah, I feel like we say this every day. Hate to see it. That fucking sucks. We talk about industry consolidation and acquisitions, right? Like, this has been one of those things that's, you know, we've been made to expect it.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
That doesn't make it normal or right or good or anything, right? Like, it always fucking sucks, especially when it is, like, damn. You know, like, people who are working hard, people who, like, didn't have anything to do with the sale, but then they're affected negatively in this way by it. Hate to see it. From... No, from VGC was the last one. This next one, Among Us 3D, launches May 6th on PC.

Yeah, I'm doing pretty good today, Mike, because CJ Splitsit in chat says, Who has Bionic Bay on Fantasy Critic from KF? And I'm happy to report that I have Bionic Bay in my Fancy Critic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Fair enough. And that is it for WeNews. Let me check back in with Super Chats one time. Street Shadow writes in and says, Blessing KF crew. If you want, I will Sherpa you guys the new raids. They are so much better than the Kalos raid. Vow of Disciple is great. It's just a lot of time. That's honestly, and here's the thing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I don't... It's not the fact that, like, I am scared off by the lore of Destiny or all that stuff. It's just I know the amount of time it'll take for me to, like, catch up on grinding and also catch up on lore and catch up on all that stuff. I... Like, that's the one... I don't want to say downfall of this job, but it's just a reality of, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah. Uh, see more super chats for you. Christopher Burnett writes in and says, uh, the voice actors of GTA five were revealed during San Diego comic-con in 2013. Do you think they might reveal the voice actors of GTA six this year at comic-con and GTA five actors present them?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Nobody was like, hey, this is who it is. And, like, don't the characters look like the actors? Like, if I see my homie, and they're in the GTA 6 trailer. Yeah, the Trevor actor just looks like Trevor. Yeah, like, I'm going to be like, yo, you're in GTA 6.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
If she looks exactly like that, just walk in the streets like, that's the life of GTA 6. I imagine it's the same way they did it with 5, where, yeah, they scan you, and, like, they... Like, do the whole thing. Yeah. Like, they're going to look like the person I assume. And so, she's voiced by Troy Baker. Also, it was Greg that counterpicked GTA 6 from you. Yeah, big choice. You got Greg to blame.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Big choice. And let me tell you, as I open up this fantasy critic, I'm looking back at my team and I'm like, yo. I might have cooked.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Because I got Mario Kart World on my team.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I got Death Stranding 2 on the beach on my team. You got that. You know what I mean? And, like, I still have drops. And so, like, say Possessors gets delayed, which is very likely. Yeah, you got some drops. Let's get that out there. You still got money to work with. I still got money to work with. I got two open spaces. This Bionic Bay. Bionic Bay is doing its damn thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, I love that RuneScape. I'm going to say back, even though it never left.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I got two open spaces for Summer Game Fest also. I'm looking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
You know what I mean? It never left. Some of us should stop playing. But the streets always fucked with RuneScape.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I've been going back and forth on my thoughts on that as a pick. We didn't get a chance to talk about rematch. What a fantastic time. Rematch, I thought about drafting, but I was like, no, I'm not going to draft that because it's the weird multiplayer game thing slash live service thing of there are so many factors at play as far as how it could be received critically.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
That said, that game at its core is so fun that I would see it getting at least an 80. So that might be a nice safe pick for me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Dispatch is cool. But I don't feel like I'm playing Dispatch this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Because there's old school RuneScape. Then they made new RuneScape. I've not booted up RuneScape since fifth grade.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Can I tell you the saving grace for my thing, right? Is that I counterpicked mainline 3D Mario. And I knew that was a bad idea. And I thought that that was gonna fuck me. Put up a prayer. Yeah, I don't think it's gonna fuck you, Bliss. And right now, I don't think we're getting a 3D Mario this year. No, by all accounts, no. I think you're making it just fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
The fact that I got away with that is insane. Like, if I win, it's literally like I got an angel looking out for me type shit. Because I should not have won with a counterpicking a 3D Mario coming out the Switch 2 launch year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
That's insane behavior. Let's see. Let's see if we got a couple more super chats for you. Futon writes in and says, Diddy Kong better be in the game at launch. I swear to God. I think we're taking a break from Diddy for a while. I don't think Nintendo wants to associate. I'm joking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
That is a funny joke, but like, oh no. I mean, I don't know. I would love to talk to somebody at Nintendo and be like, yo, what's up with Diddy? Like, what's up with Diddy Kong? When was the last time we saw Diddy Kong?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
No, I'm good. Well, maybe for the RuneScape, for this new RuneScape Dragon Wilds game, it does look cool. I do like the idea of them expanding out and doing even more things with RuneScape.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Nintendo was such a weird company that I wouldn't be surprised if higher-ups were like, let's take a break. Diddy Kong, we're going to put you on the bench for now. We'll come back to you in 2027 or some shit. But also, I do think that coming back to the Donkey Kong redesign, that also might have something to do with the new identity of Donkey Kong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Donkey Kong is now trying to separate himself from Diddy Kong. Because of the rebrand. You're amazing. It's like when you leave your music group. It's like when Beyonce left Destiny's Child. And you get that glow up. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
No, he'll bring back Diddy Kong after a while. Okay. But right now Donkey Kong has a show.

What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
oh you know 100 like how many studios no yeah well no matter what the outcome is here right like they could get bought by playstation tencent xbox whoever studios are gonna get shut down teams are gonna get shut down people are gonna get displaced all that stuff is gonna happen and yeah to your point is i don't think it's a matter of if it's a matter of when like even um with assassin's creed like earlier you brought up like assassin's creed shadows feels like a last stitch effort almost at this point where i don't even know if it's a last ditch effort i think it maybe is it is the last hope
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Last hope in terms of if Assassin's Creed Shadow knocks it out the park, then maybe we sell at a higher price. But I still do think the writing is on the wall no matter how Assassin's Creed Shadow does. I think we've just been there now with Ubisoft. The hole's been dug too deep. Yeah. We'll see what happens. I do want to bring in some super chats for you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Ricardo Gonzalez writes in and says, easier to sell the profitable IPs when they are not weighed down by all the losses from everything else. And that thing is like, I think Assassin's Creed and Far Cry and Tom Clancy, maybe those three, maybe you add in like one or two others. But I think those three, if you package those together, you can sell it at a high price.

What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25

Story number two. Marvel Rivals devs promises a new hero every month and a half. This is Michael Kripe at IGN. NetEase Games is telling Marvel Rivals players that a new hero will launch every month and a half as additional seasons roll out. The studio's creative director, Guangyuan Chen, clarified the team's post-launch plans during an interview with Metro.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
He doesn't mince words, promising to release a playable character every half season. That equals out to at least one new hero every month and a half, or roughly every six weeks. Quote, every season we'll be rolling out fresh seasonal stories, new maps, and new heroes. We'll actually be breaking down each season into two halves, Chen said.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
The length of one season is three months, and for each half of the season, we'll introduce a new hero. We just eventually want to continue to enhance the experience and, you know, keep everyone excited in our community. End quote.

What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
it is crazy like it's wild that a game that came out of nowhere last year and yeah launched in december it has so much quality compared to a marvel's avengers game from crystal dynamics right like marvel rivals is such a polished game such a good looking game that has an art style that shines so incredibly well and so far from post-launch content is killing it we got
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
no well exactly but i mean that doesn't marvel's ip doesn't mean success right we've seen that now it's like i like that like with great power comes great responsibility but i do think that and this might be a hot take and chat you can let me know because i know y'all play marvel rivals as well right if marvel rivals didn't have the marvel ip attached to it i don't think it does nearly as well but it does like that's the thing is like we can say we can say it all we want
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Yeah. I guess that's the point of like, you know, I was talking to Mike on one of the cave cities last month and we were talking about like, if Marvel rivals fails, that means that hero shooters are just like dead in the water. Like nobody else can make a hero shooter anymore. And I think the fact that it's, you know, that it's successful means that like, okay,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
If you have one of the most popular IP in the world and pair it with quality, then cool, you're going to be able to do it. I still don't think that anybody else is going to be able to do this. Again, unless you have a top, top, top IP, which for me still doesn't... It's a weird one where I'm happy for Marvel Rivals. I love Marvel Rivals. I'm playing it every week with my group of friends, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
But I don't think anybody else can enter this space. I don't think anybody can be like, all right, I'm going to make a hero shooter from scratch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Yep. And one other thing with this new story, right? New hero every month and a half. I'm excited, but I'm also like, how much is too much? Because in talking to Mike about this, right? Chat, remind me the cadence of Overwatch characters. Because I remember playing Overwatch in the first, I guess, five years of Overwatch. I guess in the entire life cycle of Overwatch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
You get a new character, and then rebalancing has to happen. It's this whole thing, right? I feel like the number of characters that Overwatch ended up having toward the end was a very good amount. It never felt like we were lacking in terms of new characters, maybe early on, but I feel like we got there. A new hero every month and a half just feels a bit unwieldy. But here's the thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Fuck balance. It's Marvel, baby.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I hear what you guys are saying, and I think I agree with you guys for the most part, but part of me does worry about that balancing, man. There's a lot of characters. Apex, I believe, was one every season. Overwatch, I feel like, had a similar cadence. Maybe at max, like, one every three months. Fantastic Four just added, what, four characters? Or I think Overtime is adding four characters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
obviously smash is played competitively like you know that is an element when nintendo allows it um but i i guess i when you say smash brothers is to that as like you know marvel rivals is the esports overwatch right like i just don't know how much you're gonna hit in that esports side of things if you don't nail the balancing but the fuck the esports side of things And that's fair.

I wish we lived in a world where, like, we could get one of these, and it'd be dope, and it'd be, like, a direct competitor to Marvel Rivals. It's the weird thing of, you know, I feel like...

What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I don't know, man. I feel like Assassin's Creed and Magic doesn't strike me as the best kind of collaboration to hit with the audience.

What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
We might be. I hope we are. But are we, Tim?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Ubisoft also strikes me as a company that's like, especially in the current era of Ubisoft, I have to say, that's very much like, yo, if you'll give us money to do something, we'll do it. Yeah. Like, hey, Magic, please. Please put Ezio on the card. Please put Altair on the card, right? But, like, you know, I look at Fallout, for example, the Fallout collaboration, and...
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 for sure, but I gotta imagine that's successful. I got a pack. I know one of my friends that I play with all the time has a pack of the Fallout ones. I think Mike might have the Fallout one. That's the one that got me in. And I do think... I've started checking out...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
everybody's like oh they're ruining the magic i love oh why you bring it in all these different ips like universe magic great again yeah like it's not that's what they sound like i get that and i and i get it too because it's the idea of the more you do the collaboration stuff the more that you're not doing the core content totally so i totally understand where they're coming from
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
The rebuttal that I'll always give is that, hey, how many people have the collaborations brought in? Greg got the Ghostbusters thing. He's probably the only person that came in through Ghostbusters, but they got him. They got him. They got me through Fallout, and I'm sure a lot of other people. Final Fantasy might bring Tim Gettys in. Oh, it's 100% bringing me in, at least to collect these things.

Today we're brought to you by BetterHelp, ExpressVPN, and MeUndies, but we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's begin with what is, and forever will be, Roper Report. It's time for some news. We have six stories today.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Starting with our number one. That's right. More Ubisoft. Tencent and the Guillermo family are considering moving Ubisoft assets to a new venture, it is claimed. This is Chris Scullion at Video Games Chronicle. Tencent and Ubisoft's founding Guillemot family are considering the creation of a new venture containing some Ubisoft assets, it's claimed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
A new report on Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the situation, claims the Chinese tech firm and Ubisoft's founders are thinking of creating a new entity, which they will then move certain Ubisoft assets over to in an attempt to boost Ubisoft's value. The Guillemot family currently owns 14% of Ubisoft's shares, while Tencent owns 9.99%.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
The report suggests that by creating a new venture and moving some of Ubisoft's IPs over to that, it could allow Tencent to own a stake in the new entity and gain more control over those IPs. No final decision has been made, the report claims, and it's also not clear what would happen to the remaining Ubisoft IP that wouldn't be carried over to the theoretical new venture.

I believe he said like July-ish.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
See, and the best thing is I wonder what is the purpose, right? Like, are you creating a new company to essentially have that company own Assassin's Creed and then sell it off as the Assassin's Creed company and then sell everything else off individually?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Like, I wonder if this is about the IPs within Ubisoft and the ranging values between those IPs and trying to figure out how to piecemeal those up to then maybe sell them at maximum value. Because maybe selling...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
maybe selling ubisoft right now as it is with assassin's creed and then all this other baggage might be a lot compared to what if we can have a different company that owns assassin's creed far cry and i don't know watchdogs or whatever the big ones are yeah the big ones and then sell them off that way and maybe the secondary company maybe guillemot then owns the rest or maybe guillemot then like sells those ips piecemeal like i wonder if they're just trying to figure out all different scenarios you can do with that stuff that makes a lot
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 think they're going to have another curtain. But that's the thing is like, how do they even do it this time? I mean, just a tweet. That's all they need. It doesn't need the image, but like just a tweet, right? God, I hope they do something different, right? Like I like when Nintendo is weird and they surprise us. And like, I like when it's, because we always look for patterns.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I do think Ubisoft is probably the most comparable company right now to Embracer, not necessarily in terms of like... how they came to fruition, but I guess just in terms of where they're at in like relation to everything else right now, right? Like their games aren't the most AAA of AAA, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Like they have a bunch of IP that feels like they're either legacy or they're just not at their peak right now. Like they're just a company that has a lot of shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I guess what I mean, because I think there's different ways to interpret AAA, right? I think Assassin's Creed as an IP is AAA, like, in terms of
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
you know visibility like how popular it is like it is for sure triple a i guess more so i'm thinking of like the budget and like the polish and how that stuff comes through in the final product where i think if you're competing if you're taking assassin's creed right and trying to compete that against like a playstation first party thing or i think what you think of is like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
the best of the best of single-player stuff, or even if you look at, like, their multiplayer endeavors or, like, their shots at multiplayer in the last few years, like, I just don't think the quality of the Ubisoft output has compared to pretty much, like, any of the big players.

Man, my Christian's actions. What a crazy thing. What a crazy thing. Story number two. EA Skate gets my Christian's actions before its release date. This is Wesley Yenpool at IGN. EA has added microtransactions to Skate during its latest alpha test and ahead of a release date announcement.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
As reported by Insider Gaming, developer Full Circle added microtransactions to the ongoing closed alpha test of EA's free-to-play Skate Revival. You can spend real-world money on a virtual currency called Sandvan Bucks, which, in turn, is used to buy cosmetic items. Stop!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Mike's dreams are coming true. It sounds like Full Circle wants to test Skate's microtransaction purchase system. As it states, it wants players to have a positive experience when purchasing items from the Skate store. Quote, your feedback will be greatly appreciated in providing a great experience at early access launch. The message continues.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
According to insider gaming full circle has warned testers that progress will be fully reset before skate launches into early access and any purchases you make will be converted back into sand van bucks and made available again at the start of early access skates early access launch is set for 2025.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
That's my thing is if I'm going to take the positive angle on this, I do like the messaging of, hey, we want people to have a positive experience when they're purchasing items from the skate store. So that's why we're testing this. We want to make sure that everything is fairly priced and the microtransaction experience isn't getting in the way of the fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I like that communication. Fingers crossed that it actually works out that way. This is one of those things that I think at first blush you read and it's like, I don't know how I feel about this. And honestly, the thing I like the least about this story is the fact that they're called Sand Van Bucks. That doesn't roll off the tongue.

What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Sand Van Bucks. But yeah, ultimately, I'm not mad at this. I am very...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
curious about what this is going to look like in the final game mainly for what cosmetics are we going to get and then also like what's the pricing there um i don't even know what cosmetics i want for a skate game it's the it's the weird thing where when i think about the brands i expect i'm like they're not gonna they're not gonna charge me for some like skate brands right like it's got to be some like crossover content did you see the island recently when we were playing it out there did you see what they were doing

putting the stars of the bank out there I've been thinking that for a while I didn't want to say anything to you I know you've been there but I think today was the tipping point for me alright I want to bring in a super chat from Trukey Kappa who writes in and says how do you think the Pokemon company factors in here this is again referring to story number one talking about Niantic being bought by Scopely do you think they have some say over what the new owners will be able to do slash not do
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I kind of like this question of, you're talking about the microtransactions, you're talking about how far the Pokemon company, or not Pokemon company, sorry, Niantic with Pokemon Go, kind of how it already has gone and how much further that probably could go with Scopely makers of Monopoly Go or the publishers. Do you think the Pokemon company would stop that from happening?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
A Pokemon game? That's crazy. It's a Pokemon game. You think the Pokemon company doesn't care about the quality of a Pokemon game? Man. You think... You think they don't care about, like, a negative perception of Pokemon based on the experience of playing one of your most popular Pokemon games? Nah, man, that's not my Pokemon company. My Pokemon company cares about quality.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I think you can get away with it in the first three months. Having it in that Switch 2 reveal, you've got to have it in a good pace. Switches out, alright, cool. You don't have to wait that long before you're playing Mario Kart. But either way, they're going to talk about Mario Kart. Probably, most likely, I'm going to say 95% is coming out this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
What did I see stitching? Oh, you know what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
No, well, yes, but also I watched the Lion King live action Mufasa movie. What'd you think? Yeah, it was fine. It was fine. But I think before that, there was a trailer. It wasn't a trailer, but it was like a tease of Stitch. Wait, you saw Mufasa in theaters? Yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Oh, I'm a big Lion King guy. I love Lion King. And then also, oh, I didn't see this, Barrett.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
It kind of works.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Look at this little fucker. They're doing the thing now where, like, if you remember the original Lilo and Stitch, like, marketing, right? They would do the thing where they put Stitch in all the different Disney IPAs, like, a bit. Before Lion King, they did that. Where it's like, oh, here's Stitch, but he's, like, in the Lion King world, which I love. I think that's fucking awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I mean, if we do a Stitch reaction, would that get us claimed? We're rolling dice, though. You know what I mean? Okay.

Verdu joined Netflix in 2021 to launch its gaming offering. That effort included the release of dozens of new or ported mobile games for paying Netflix subscribers, as well as the creation of a formidable internal game development operation through the purchase and startup of several studios. While Netflix's gaming efforts are ongoing, Verdu's involvement had been waning.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Last year, Netflix pivoted, or focused, depending on who you asked. In July, the company brought in former Epic, EA, and Ubisoft exec Elaine Tiscon to helm the gaming division. Verdu was not immediately out when his successor arrived. Four months ago, he announced he had taken on a new role as VP of generative AI for games at Netflix. It is unclear what has become of that role.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Verdu did not return a request. It became redundant. AI replaced him. They found an AI to do his job for him. Damn, that sucks. Verdu did not return a request for comment by press time. Since Discon took the reins, Netflix's gaming operation has seen major changes. Last fall, the company shut down Team Blue, the studio that was developing the company's first AAA game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Let's say... I don't want to invoke it because I... But 3D Mario. Yeah. That's got to happen, right? I think so. This year? I think so. So let's say those two are somewhat locks, which is going to fuck my fantasy critic, but it is what it is. Yeah. And let's say we get like one ARMS-ish new IP. Is that enough for you? Absolutely. Okay.

Netflix execs keep talking up their gaming plans and quarterly calls with investors, most recently teasing additional emphasis on couch co-op party games, as well as games that tie into Netflix shows. The company launched a Squid Game video game in December. That game skipped the Netflix subscriber requirement to allow all mobile users to play it.

Netflix will have a presence next week at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Why did you start a AAA studio? Why? And then shut it down. Like, what was the plan? I really need the Jason Schreier breakdown of like, hey, this was their dream just for us to go, oh, yeah, that dream was never going to work. Because like, if Netflix were to go fully into gaming, right? If you're to fully do it, if you were to, okay, hey, AAA studio got all the way there. We're ready to launch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Are you launching it on Netflix? Are you launching it on all platforms and just having Netflix make them? Where does the gaming dream fit into your structure as Netflix? Because my idea from the get-go when Netflix games felt like it was ramping up a bit more was for them to be aimed a bit more at family audiences. I think the squid game thing makes sense as a mobile game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I think Exploding Kittens, because they have an Exploding Kittens cartoon that's happening, and they developed a game for that. That makes sense because these are mobile games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
You can see people. And like, I think back to my nephew who just loved playing games on Roku. Like you put any games on his Roku and he's using the remote. He's playing that shit. Like, I think that would be a value add for so many families with children that like, oh man, now they can get actually good games on Netflix and play that off the TV or play that on my phone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I think that is a good value add, but it feels like it just got unwieldy and like, I'm really in a way of not even understanding what your own vision is. Cause I don't understand how a AAA studio was factoring into this. I didn't, I don't understand necessarily like where the generative generative AI need is for this. It's a tech company. I get it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Like every tech company is using generative AI, but how was this going to make sense?

Oxenfree, that's the one I was trying to think of.

Yes. Not fully through, but yes. Did you ever get to, like, the Vos scene where he's, like, talking about the definition of insanity and whatever, and he's, like, doing the same thing over and over again, and then he fucking, like, tries to kill you again and he pushes you down? Fucking cool. I love Vos so much. I love Far Cry 3.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
That's such, like, a... It's crazy how far games have come. Because I feel like if I see that same cutscene today, I'm like, okay, that's cool. Okay, cool. Right? But, like, in 20... or 2012? Probably 2012, right? That shit hit different.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I don't know. There's something... To be said about your memory of those things. I was thinking about this. I forget what prompted this feeling of yesterday. I was just thinking about old games that I love that I couldn't... It'd be so tough to show that to a young person nowadays who wasn't there. You weren't there when I... Actually, I was going to say Portal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I feel like I could still give somebody Portal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
You know what? Yeah, you're probably right. You're right, I think. Because, yeah, like, I play NBA Street Volume 2 a lot. Like, even still, like, probably a few times a year I'll pick up my Steam Deck or my PlayStation 2 that's still, I still own. Exactly, plug it in with the red, white, and yellow composite. Yeah, because I have a TV that works with that. And, like, that game is so fucking fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
But you're right that, like, I don't know if I can give that to somebody. Like, give that to my 10-year-old nephew and have it resonate with him the way that it resonated with me when I was 10 years old, you know? Something different. Something different, man. Story number four. The team that is co-developing the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake is opening a new studio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
This is Jordan Midler at Video Games Chronicle. One of the development teams behind the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 3 remake is opening a new studio. Virtuous, a support studio that has worked previously with 2K, Beinai Namco, and most recently co-developed Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater, is opening a branch in South Korea.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Virtuous has said that the studio aims to serve as a hub for other South Korean developers to expand their reach across the world. Quote, "...gaming is deeply ingrained in Korean culture." As the world's fourth largest games market, South Korea has produced some of the world's biggest hits and remains a top gaming hub, said Sean Yoon, the general manager of the newly formed Virtuous Seoul.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Quote, "...establishing the physical studio in Seoul enables Virtuous to directly address the unique challenges faced by Korean studios, with the proximity facilitating closer co-development and collaboration." We look forward to helping bring more Korean games to the global stage and vice versa, unlocking new audiences for studios and new content for players alike, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I love this for multiple reasons. Yeah, hit me. One, because so far from, I mean, watching trailers, I'm so looking forward to Metal Gear Solid Delta.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Yeah, and I hope, I think... If this game comes out and is a success, which all signs point to it being so, I would expect they get more at-bats like that of, oh, snap, all right, let's give you Metal Gear Solid 2. Let's give you, I don't know, let's just give you more games. Name all the Metal Gear Solid. Name all the Metal Gear Solid. Metal Gear Solid.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
let's give you a solid five fuck it um but i think uh more at bats for the studio are inevitable with this game being a success hopefully when it's a success right um and so i think being able to expand out to um accommodate for that is cool and awesome and i want to see the studio be able to get more projects like this and you know i think refine that skill i love when studios have um a special a specialized talent being a blue point would be the other one i look to as like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
oh, man, you guys are the goats at making remakes and remasters and stuff. Capcom. Capcom, yeah. Like, another one of, like, man, you guys can remake the fuck out of a game. And it is so awesome to see, I think, a studio like this find that and hopefully maybe hone that and, yeah, take that further.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Yeah. And then, like, the other reason I'm excited, too, is, you know, getting another studio opening in South Korea. Like, that's fucking awesome. We've seen games come from there in recent years. Like, big AAA stuff that makes waves that people are loving. You know, I look towards something like Stellar Blade. I look toward... I believe Liza P was also Korean-developed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
And when you're looking at a... According to this article, right, a market that is as big as that, that is into video games, you have a lot of people that want to get into video game development, but...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
you know i don't video game develop the video game development scene is only just growing there um in a bigger way and so i think the more you can make studios in an area like that the more you're going to capture really talented people that probably wouldn't have that opportunity otherwise and so like yeah big put game studios in places that are that have that demand and like those people are going to make fucking great games for you absolutely
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Yeah, and that's how I frame it. Yeah, that's actually exactly what I'm talking about with the Switch 2 reveal, where even if it's not launch day, I expect it in the first couple months. Like, if it's not launch day, then a couple weeks out, right? If, say, for some reason, they're like, oh, Metroid Prime 4 is going to be the launch day title. Cool. Next month, Mario Kart.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
So the reason why I add this to the story is one, I've been, I was thinking about this yesterday during the games cast of like Greg going through his whole steam wishlist. And I'm like, man, we got to start highlighting like upcoming games more. And I feel like I got to do a better job of putting in stories that are just cool ass shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25

What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
um i the words i have here i'm pulling uh from the steam page to describe what this game is wild blue is an exciting and modern take on the classic on-rail adventures of the 90s soar over oceans desert ridges and perilous caves battling waves of enemies and pushing back the baron's forces with the help of allies you'll fight to restore peace while experiencing the thrill of classic arcade flight combat

Listen, I'll take what I can get. It's Nintendo. I don't think they know what the word enhancement means. I don't think they understand what the fucking up-res is. I'll just take the game being playable. I'm okay with that. I mean, that's a big ask. But they said it's going to happen. Backwards compatibility. Boom. Mario Kart. Boom. At least one other big first-party game.

What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
It's crazy how much I love the 2D HD, like, art style that Octopath Traveler came through and kind of, you know, put on the map. But I've only played through, all the way through, Live Alive. Like, Live Alive just had something different for me. And I think it is just, like, the tone of the writing is more humorous. It's more, like, my vibe, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
It reminds me of, like, an Earthbound or an Undertale or, like, something that is a bit more comedically driven. Yeah.

What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Yeah. I mean, I think Blade Runner 2049 probably is, like, another good example of, hey, you know, people can find their own interpretations of things and still make them as special, if not just as special, if not even better sometimes. Yep. With Metal Gear, I think... I don't know. It's a tough one. Because I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
For a remake, I'm with you as far as like, hey, Shinkawa and Kojima already made the game, right? They're just remaking it with new assets. But I also, I guess, I tend to think of Demon's Souls as an example of, man, Bluepoint knocked it out the park as far as bringing a game from 2009? I'm going to say 2009, correct me if I'm wrong. And bringing it forward and making it

Like, I look at MGS3 or MGS Delta, the remake, and I'm like, that has everything that I love from Metal Gear Solid 3, and it looks fucking incredible, so I'm sure I'm going to love it. But, like, I don't know. Is it going to capture the tone perfectly? Is it going to... Like, if Kojima was working on this game, or if Yoshi Shinkawa was working on this game, would certain things look different?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Probably. But, I don't know. I'm fine with playing this version of it, right? Like, I think...

What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
at certain points with these things i have to be like all right this is the only way i'm going to get this there's no reality in which kojima is coming back and remaking mgs3 and so i'm going to take what i can get and i'm going to love it especially if it lives up to that standard of just give me a better looking game the reality too is even if kojima was involved doesn't mean it's going to be better like i think look at twin snakes kojima was involved with the remake of metal gear solid one and i feel like the majority of people not me i'm a twin snake sicko

He's probably going to watch the trailer. He's watching the trailer to see if Little Sister is thick. Okay, that makes sense then. Yeah. It's not avoiding the trailer. I thought he was talking about the trailer. If she appears in the trailer and she's not thick, he's not watching the movie.

Davis writes in and says X Zodiac is one inspired by Oh I think you already mentioned this one earlier Inspired by the SNES Star Fox on Steam And then Lucid Dream says if Tim needs a Star Fox Play Chorus it's good You remember Chorus?

We got to figure out a better way to write these. Next time, if you have a thing like this, just call in with a voice note. All right, I'm going to reread this from the beginning. It's pronounced New Fin Land or New Fun Land, not New Fin Lind or New Fun Lund. Okay, so the Lind and Lund is the problem.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
You got to keep the land. In other words, speed up the middle, but pronounce land like you'd pronounce it on its own. So land. Newfoundland. Newfoundland. Yep. Newfoundland. Either. Newfoundland. There you go. You learn a thing every day. Every single day. Every single day we learn a thing. All right. It was nice learning here with Tim. It was nice learning with you.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Starting with our number one, Pokemon Go developer Niantic is to sell its gaming business to Saudi Group. This is Jess Weatherbed at The Verge. Niantic Labs has announced that it's selling its video game division to Saudi Arabia-owned mobile developer Scopely for $3.5 billion after struggling to replicate the success of Pokemon Go across its other AR games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
The newly inked agreement includes Niantic's Pokemon Go, Monster Hunter Now, and Pikmin Bloom mobile gaming titles. Quote, Niantic Games have always been a bridge to connect people and inspire exploration, and I am confident they will continue to do both as part of Scopely, said Niantic CEO John Hank.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Oh, from the reveal. Yeah, from the showcase. From the direct.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Quote, I firmly believe this partnership is great for our players and is the best way to ensure our games have the long-term support and investment needed to be forever games that will endure for future generations. End quote. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Should the deal go through, it'll also bring Niantic's social companion apps for Pokemon Go, Campfire, and Wayfarer under Scopely ownership. Scopely says it'll gain Niantic's entire team of exceptional game makers and category-leading games. However, the Peridot and Ingress AR gaming titles... Is it Peridot or Peridot? I feel like I've been through this before. I think it's Peridot. Is it Peridot?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I don't know. the latter of which, talking about ingress, is also supported by the Wayfair mapping app, will remain under the ownership and development of Niantic Spatial. Now, you might be asking, what is Niantic Spatial? I'm going to pull directly from the Niantic website where they talk about what's going on today.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
And they say, our second announcement is that we are spinning off our pioneering geospatial AI business into a new company, Niantic Spatial Inc., enabling it to accelerate and scale even more rapidly. Led by John Hank, Niantic Spatial will be funded with $250 million of capital, including $200 million from Niantic's balance sheet and a $50 million investment from Scopely.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
All of Niantic's original investors will also continue to be shareholders of Niantic Spatial. It's a little spin-off company from Niantic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
That's the thing. It's like, what will we know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
It makes sense. Pokemon Go, when you're talking about the biggest IPs in the world, it is different when Disney is literally buying Star Wars, but you're getting a big piece of IP with Pokemon Go. Pokemon being one of the biggest IPs in the world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Because, like, is it going to be a thing of, like, you know, we come out of that showcase being like, man, they did it again. Or is it going to be one of those things where we're like, oh, God, what's happening?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Do you think so? Because that was going to be my first question as the Pokemon Go correspondent here, kind of funny to him. Can Pokemon Go go further in terms of what it does for microtransactions? What do you expect coming out of this?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I know it's a tough thing because obviously Scopely is a known thing as far as Monopoly Go, but I'm very fascinated by does a transition to under Scopely, I guess, magnify... Issues that might already be underlying? Oh, I'm sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
I was going to say, what will it take to make Tim Geddes go, I can't do this anymore, I quit?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Yeah. Oh, wow. Wow. This guy, he's on it. I mean, speaking of which, right? Like, I think a conversation we had about Niantic is, wow, okay, you had Pokemon Go, but then you had these shots that you were taking that weren't going in the basket, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Like, you look at Pikmin Bloom, Monster Hunter Now, like, and granted, I'm not the expert necessarily on, like, how well Monster Hunter Now is doing. I could probably call in Greg Miller to talk about it more.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Doing pretty well? Okay, there you go. But, like, I feel like post-Pokemon Go, it's tough when you start at the top. You know what I mean? Of like, all right. Of IP. Yeah, of IP. We had Pokemon Go. Where do we, no pun intended, pun intended, where do we go from here? Like, what is the next step after Pokemon Go?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
All right, let's try it with, I forget if Niantic was the ones, again, I'm so not in this world, but they did Harry Potter. Wasn't there a Harry Potter?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Oh yeah, there was the NBA thing. The NBA thing never came out, I think. Or it got cancelled early.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Yeah. See, the Marvel thing, even though I think it's a weird idea, because Pokemon is such a... It's an IP that is so fit for what Pokemon Go is. Go around and catch things. Go around and collect things. That is all Pokemon... The core ethos of Pokemon is collecting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
cool pokemon go is such a slam dunk for that but yeah is the nba a slam dunk for that is marvel a slam dunk for that like i could see how you could maneuver it in there but i don't think anything was gonna it's like well that's why monster hunter i think is finally success because it makes sense from a gameplay perspective exactly but i wonder if i wonder if there was a different route a different timeline in which
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
Niantic was able to find the flow and actually find success with the right IPs or with different ideas like I don't know what the alternative would have been for Niantic if not What we're seeing here.

Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I think we're just at the point now. Which one is more likely between GTA 6 and Half-Life 3 being at the Game Awards tomorrow? No way. It's not even a question. Really? You think Half-Life 3 has a likelier chance of being there tomorrow than GTA 6?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Like, here's the thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I believe it. I've just... How old am I? I'm 30. When did Half-Life 2... When did the latest Half-Life game that's not Half-Life Alyx come out?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
For most of my life... It's been a thing of Half-Life 3. I'm 30 years old. Most of my life, Half-Life 3 has been this fairy tale, legendary myth of a video game. It's the longest running meme for me of a video game that has been announced that will never happen. Longer than The Last Guardian.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
We do. We really do. Here's the thing. I hope it doesn't go away. But also I do hope it goes away because I do need TikTok to be torn away from me. I get that. It's gotten bad. I used to have it to where I had like the limiter on there to where if I go. Did you really? Yeah. If I went above like an hour, it would automatically lock it in my phone. I couldn't use it anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Yeah, longer than Duke Nukem Forever, Half-Life 3 is the ultimate final boss of all this shit, which is why it's just hard for me to think that tomorrow y'all think there's a likelier chance of Half-Life 3 happening. At least we know GTA 6 exists, and we've gotten a trailer for it. Rockstar, sure, they don't usually do showcases. They can do whatever they want. Just Half-Life 3, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
It's crazy to say those words out loud. No, you're right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Valve doesn't even like Valve, like Valve makes games. But they don't even have to make games anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
And like that, I mean, that was a good point. I think that was like the most salient thing said during the predictions episode of, hey, that would be the perfect storm. We're going to try and sell consoles, Valve. We want this thing to work. We need a killer app. That is Half-Life 3. And like they've done it. Like with VR, they had Half-Life Alyx.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
With Steam Deck, they had the fucking, I mean, this wasn't the killer app, but they had like the little two-hour portal Half-Life adjacent thing. Remind me, chat, what it was called. This is par for the course, and this would make sense with a new piece of hardware. But yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know. Aperture desk job. Thank you so much, chat. Yeah. That'd be so sick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
So you think Half-Life is one of these?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Yeah, go for it. Story number two. And this may be related, may be very unrelated, but I'm just going to bring it in because it's Game Awards adjacent. A couple of Game Awards confirmations have been revealed by Jeff Keighley. Two people are presenting that we know and love.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
The first one being actress Shannon Woodward, who you know as Dina in The Last is Part II, along with one of the main characters of Westworld, I believe. She is joining Game Awards as a presenter. Jeff Keighley tweeted out yesterday. He also tweeted out that Troy Baker, the star of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, joins as an award presenter for Thursday's show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
So two presenters, of course, that could mean nothing. Of course, I think Troy Baker especially is the fact that he's in Indiana Jones, and so it's relevant. But Shannon Woodward.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Somewhere along the line, it just disappeared. I don't know if this is TikTok being like, what do we need to get everybody addicted so that they fight against it? But it disappeared and I didn't bother to try to turn it back on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Best performance, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Do you think there's anything in the, I just noticed this as I was reading through, right? Like Jeff mentions Troy's joining as an award presenter. And when he talks about Shannon, he just says she's going to be a presenter. Like, what do you think that could be? Is it just like, Hey, here's a new trailer. Here's like a new, maybe it isn't something related.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Y'all motherfuckers doubted me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Is there a chance? I hope not, man. I'm somebody who loves Last of Us. I just want to see something different from Naughty Dog. I think they've earned being able to do something different. I think... I don't know. We've gotten so much Last of Us in the last five years that I think... the audience is kinda fed, especially with the Last of Us TV show actively happening.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I feel like that audience is pretty fed. And it seems like from rumors, speculation, discussions, reports, it seems like the new IP is the next thing. It seems like the stars have aligned for that and then later on we're getting Last of Us 3. Last of Us 3 I feel like is still a twinkle in Homeboy's eye.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
See, okay, you're driving towards the place that I was about to drive to in a second, which is, you know, we talked about during the predictions, PlayStation, and how, like, PlayStation Showcase, usually you want to save the big guns for there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I was thinking about PlayStation Showcase this morning, and the last PlayStation Showcase we got, not State of Play, right, last Showcase we got, I believe was the one where we got, like, not Anthem, Marathon, and, like, the multiplayer stuff that disappointed people for the most part, and that was, like, a year and a half ago. That was May 2020.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
And this might be part of a different conversation, but I'm bringing it in here just for the sake of it. I feel like PlayStation Showcase for Sony is one of those things that they're still trying to figure out. They're still trying to like... I don't know that I agree with that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
But then, like, when's the last banger one? Like, three years ago? Four years ago?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I guess the point I'm making is why wait for a PlayStation showcase when it feels like these things are now inconsistent in terms of timing, inconsistent in terms of quality, and them being able to put that much into the last PlayStation showcase and it to still fall flat. If I'm Sony, I'm going... Let's rethink this whole thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
You also have like, you know, you're, you're happily married. True. You have kids in the form of little dogs. Yeah, exactly. You know, you have people that care about you. I go home and I sit in a dark room and I'm like, I guess I'll put up TikTok.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Yeah, but their last showcase was like three or four years ago, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Why wait for a showcase, right? I think to the Naughty Dog thing, what if it isn't just one PlayStation game? What if we're getting two big PlayStation games? What if we get Sony Santa Monica's new IP and Naughty Dog's new IP? I mean, that would be... I just... I don't...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I was thinking about Sony Bend a lot, but they said they're working on a new IP. And there was also one of the stories I was going around in the last day that I didn't include because it was a bit too speculatory.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Because I don't recall the blonde lady. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I mean, at Bluepoint, their wording was that they're working on new content. Original content. They didn't really say new IP. They didn't say new IP. They said new content. So I don't know what that means. And then, yeah, Bend is working on new IP.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
And then, yeah, like the last day, there was stuff going around about, like, somebody's portfolio who's working at Sony Bend that seems to be pointing to, like, some kind of multiplayer shooter or whatever. But it was one of those ones that doesn't seem concrete at all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Yeah. I mean, maybe if, like, Jeff's trying to make them happy or something. Because, like, if I'm Jeff, I'm like, I don't know. Get this Days Gone Remastered. Get this the fuck out of here. Nobody cares about Days Gone Remastered. Everybody sees that on screen and grows.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Because nobody cared about Horizon Remastered either. No, no, no.

And we're back with story number three. Nintendo now owns 100% of Monolith Soft. This is Amber V at Automaton. According to Monolith Soft's official homepage, the Xenoblade series developer is now wholly owned by Nintendo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Monolith was originally created by founders Hirohide Tsugura, Tetsuya Takahashi, and Yasuyuki Hone, with investment from Namco to work on Xenosaga, a Namco-owned spiritual successor to Square's Xenogears. In 2007, Nintendo bought out 80% of Monolith's shares from Namco and then went on to further increase its stake to 96% in 2011.

Up until recently, Monolith's founders have maintained a symbolic 4% stake in the company, but it seems Nintendo has acquired the remaining shares. We don't know when exactly this happened, but Tsugira, Takahashi, and Hone still owned 4% of Monolith Soft at least until March this year when their company brochure for 2024 was published.

Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
The world's just incredibly impressive. There's definitely a future where I fall in love with Xenoblade Chronicles. I just haven't reached that version of me yet. I put up a tweet yesterday that was like, I went from fighting games to... Or I went from roguelikes to fighting games to card games. What's going to be my next obsession? I feel like Xenoblade Chronicles is one of those ones that...

I really am. You got to take a picture of your Christmas tree. Cause I want to see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I know for a fact that I would probably love this game. I think Tim, you would probably love Xenoblade Chronicles. I think Barret would probably love it. I think Andy would probably love it. I just don't think we've had the time and space yet. Because sometimes you just need to be in the right place at the right time with certain games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I guess in the way that, like, you know, metaphor hit for you, Tim. And I know it's probably going to take you a year to play through that game. I don't know if I'm ever going to complete it at this point, if I'm being honest. But I think, for me, this strikes me as one of those, right? This strikes me as a, I know it's good. I know it has the trappings there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
But it is also a game that I think is probably pretty demanding of... your time and energy, and we just have to have that time and energy. But I can see, hey, Switch 2, the next Xenoblade. Tim, assign me to the review. Assign me to the review, Tim.

So I'm like, looking at it, I'm like, it's kind of fucking sweet looking. You're a big mech boy now, Bless. I am a big mech boy. If Andy wants to stream this game with me, do the kind of funny stream through. This isn't a promise. This isn't me saying we're going to do it.

Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Yeah. Dude, do you know what's messed up? Is that there was a fork in the road for me where I could have been a big Xenoblade sicko back in the day. Back in the day might be putting it too much. In like 2010, 2011, when I had my Wii, I did have two games that I was looking at. It was Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story. I was going to play one of those.

And I was looking up best Wii games to play.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
And the list was like The Last Story and Xenoblade Chronicles. And I looked at both of them, and for some reason, I went The Last Story. And I love The Last Story. I think that game's fucking awesome. It came and went. Like, nobody talks about that game anymore. Yeah, it really was The Last Story. It really was. Even though that game fucking rocks.

A release window of 2027 was set, but it's unclear if the project is a film or TV series or something else. Quote, this is a dream partnership for Pokemon.

Actually, no, you're right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Wasn't Wallace in Chicken Run, or am I just confusing the two of them? I might be conflating both of them. I might have watched both at the same time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I mean, there's a good chance that maybe I saw Wallace and Gromit and just thought it was Chicken Run because I was a dumb kid. I've definitely seen at least one of these movies, and whichever one it was, it fucked.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
You're right. But you can understand how, as a kid, this is confusing. Because I thought they were the same movie.

In Claymation? Don't want to. Claymation is such an underutilized art style. It's difficult, you know? It takes a real craftsman to make Claymation happen.

Quote, There's a good chance you'll see one or two teaser trailers for games that won't be out for 2026 or later, Schreier said. However, when pressed by host Tim Geddes about whether there would be big announcements to be excited about, Schreier replied, Quote, There are at least two things that will make you guys reacting say, holy shit, I can't believe it's here, end quote.

Do you feel what I'm saying? I feel what you're saying. I feel like we're not, you're not giving yourself enough credit and like giving us enough credit as far as like, like, of course us asking Jason Schreier, Hey, like, you know, is there, what else do you know? Like an utter goon. Yeah. Like that's us being us. And that's like kind of funny being kind of funny.

But also, I think that does then lend to the conversation that people are having and give people tidbits of where they should set their expectations. And I think even though it doesn't feel like journalism, it is, I think, a hint of journalism to the smallest degree possible.

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, no Omni movie. I mean, honestly, they're not going to have that big thing where it's like, here's the big TM, new movement system, new thing that we can really push here that is pushing forward Call of Duty. It's probably just going to be another Call of Duty.

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Not much. I played a few hours of it and I dropped off pretty heavily because same thing where I was like, I'm excited for Outer Worlds, but in Fantasy World and I'm like, not really getting that as much, right? And then I see this 11 minutes. I'm like, oh shit, we're back. Like this is fully, this is what I wanted. I just wanted Outer Worlds too. That's the reason why I dropped off of 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
so hard but I think eventually I will get back to it push forward a little bit but either way like this this to me is the most exciting thing so I am excited for those people that have not played Outer Worlds or heard about it or are tangentially related to it to now get a look at it but I also just a little bit scared of just like I don't how do you pitch this game to like people 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
I don't know. Is this going to actually help the game that much, or is it just going to be the same people that are like, oh, I saw this game, and oh, it's not really what I'm looking for. Move on, right? I don't know. Is this actually going to be the thing that pushes Outer Worlds 2 into this mega franchise, or is it just going to stay in the smaller, nicher side of the RPG sphere?
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.
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, and I think Obsidian is owed this moment, too, right? Like, I mean, they've just been working so hard on so many great games that they deserve at least a spot once, right? Of like, hey, this is our sequel. This is the thing that is going to perfect this Outer Worlds formula. This is the moment to give it the biggest spotlight ever. Yeah, when I look back at this year, fucking Xbox...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
had a great year so far.
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, for sure. But Xbox in total has a great year lined up. It has had a great year already with South of Midnight avowed earlier on. They're doing well this year. So yeah, I'm not expecting Gears of War even though it's on my fantasy critic, which might have been a mistake, but we never know. We never know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
They don't need Gears of War, right? They need just Outer Worlds to fill it up. They have... What did I just say? Ninja Gaiden 4 coming out soon, right? So they have a good year lined up. I'm not worried about Xbox at all. Perfect Dark, that's another conversation. I also don't believe in that game. What we saw, that gameplay we saw... People were blown away by 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
I was like, that doesn't look real. That doesn't look like a real game still. I look at that and I'm like, I don't see me playing that. That seems like a very, very, very, very much a vertical, vertical slice if you can find one for E3 games. I don't know. Fable, I'm not worried about.
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 part of this that I didn't know, which is not even a video game, I guess it's a gaming thing, is the framework thing. Man, that sucks for that company. What a small company. I don't know if you know anything about framework, y'all.
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, you don't have one anymore. I bought one. Yeah, then you returned 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
And especially, yeah, if anyone doesn't know anything about Framework, Framework is a company that is based upon the ideals that you can repair and upgrade your laptops by yourself, right? So you can literally just get all the pieces and put together your laptop and save a bunch of money. It's a really cool concept, so that sucks for them.
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've watched a lot of videos about that, and they're behind-the-scenes stuff, so that sucks for them, it sucks for Razer, and yeah, again, we're going to keep on getting this, and... Excited for tomorrow. We're going to get more news stories like this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

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, I mean, my first thought with the Portal was that this was just going to become e-waste. That's when I taught Snowback Mike about the term e-waste. And then he just started using the term e-waste for just regular trash.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
which is incredible so yeah he would just be like he would throw away a can like man it's just a bunch of e-waste that's not that's not how you use the word yeah uh so i'm happy that yeah one it's successful and two they're continuing to update it because man also one day we got to figure out how to jailbreak this fucking thing i know people already have sort of but like if they can start putting some emulation on that you know what i mean come on just a little bit okay but what sort of hardware capabilities are we talking with this i don't know what's on board with it someone got gta3 running like in the first week of this thing coming
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
And also, let's be honest, those themes sucked. They were not good themes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Did they do the sounds, even? So, it would cover, like, the images. That would, like, when you, like, go over a game, it shows, like, the little key art. It would cover that key art because it would have, like, this weird, like, transparent, yeah, on top that was, like, showing some PlayStation stuff. It was weird.

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, but it's been like years of us talking about this thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Why don't you grow the fuck up, Andy? Okay, why don't you grow up and have some consistency? If you have the same feelings about Titanfall, have the same feelings about Hollow Knight. How about Bloodborne? Oh, how about fucking Bloodborne?
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 thought you were going to do a thing of like, oh no, so then we can afford the Switch 2 thing.
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, people have made the joke already, but when I saw the news story, I immediately went to the Don Matrix. Remember that? And Xbox One was coming out. He was like, well, we still got the 360 if you don't want to play online, right? Which was memed to death, and that was a shitty thing to say, right? Because that was something they could have changed, 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
Yeah, exactly. Well, it was the thing of, like, turning off the online, right? So they could have changed that. Right. This, to me, I'm like, what are you going to say? You're fucking the CEO of the company. Like, what are you going to say? Like, yeah, of course, you're going to be like, I can't afford it. Oh, man, we should have thought about that. You know, we're going to drop the price $100.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Like, of course, he's going to be like, buy the other ones then because they're cheaper. So, yeah, I mean, this is a nothing burger. It makes sense.
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 hopefully they will buy the cheaper thing that has been on sale for the last eight years yeah or most likely they already have it and you know the there's still support for it right like metroid prime 4 is still coming to that right yeah and this is also a pretty good answer just because also like in xbox 360 going to one era there wasn't backwards compatibility out the box right so it didn't even make sense to buy the last one if you're gonna buy the next one this one full backwards compatibility if you buy everything on switch one you're gonna be able to bring it over to switch too so again not a bad answer here for what he's saying and
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 understand how it is. It's a sensitive topic right now. Everyone's mad about the price.

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
main idea of like i like different studios with different visions and leadership that feels unique under a publisher uh but it seems like that was getting in the way of them fully getting together with cd project and creating uh something in the witcher uh franchise right so i i it seems like this is this is a positive uh in terms of going in that direction but it is it is sad to see that and hopefully this doesn't lead to any layoffs in any form

Two people wrote in that are not your wrong, so you don't get to be read out here. One person wrote the Phoenix. Roger mentioned the Logitech G Cloud being a good option because it's only $140, but it's actually $300. You're wrong because it was put up on Wario64 that it was on sale for $140. So that was my reference there. Yes, it is not MSRP of $140, but you can purchase it for $140.

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Crazy stuff. I... Where do you want to go here? Because I'm talking about the Outer Worlds 2 element of it. I can just talk about the idea that Outer Worlds 2 is getting so much praise and excitement behind the Xbox marketing machine here. Putting it right afterwards, after the Xbox showcase, it's a huge slot right there.
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 reserved for Starfield before, Black Ops 6 was the first Xbox Game Pass Call of Duty game, and then now Outer Worlds 2. I was not expecting Outer Worlds 2 to have that slot. I expected, in my heart of hearts, maybe Gears of War. Maybe Gears of War is coming out this year. Maybe we do the big push there, right? So I think in my mind, that means that Gears of War is not coming out this year.
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 expected maybe even like a Fable or something like that, right? But Outer Worlds 2, that's kind of cool that this studio is getting that push behind it. I don't necessarily think it's as exciting. I don't know. What do you think?
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. Okay, so work with me, chat, right now. Because if we're thinking about Andy Cortez, right, he likes all the fake flavors, right? He likes all the energy drinks with artificial everything in there. So my brain goes to, like, Fruity Pebbles, right? That's a good guess. But you strike me as an enigma. You strike me as somebody who might be into Honey Bunches of Oats. Ooh.

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
Yeah, I mean, it makes me happy. I mean, I'm the same with you, right? I played Outer Worlds actually for the first time, I think last year, right? And I fucking fell in love with it. I had a great time. I was even playing on the Xbox One version because I didn't want to pay for the Series X for it because it's only on Game Pass. Whatever. I had a great time with this. So I'm very excited.

Xbox Games Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.09.25
I'm very happy that they have the showcase. But it does, it just makes, it's interesting. It's interesting and I'm glad that they're continuing the formula of like, hey, the game that we're showing is going to come out like pretty soon. We're not going to show you, do a whole deep dive on a game that's coming out a year from now, right? 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
These games are going to be, we're going to show the game, and then it's going to come out pretty soon afterwards, right? It is interesting, in my mind, that it wasn't a Call of Duty again. There was a little bit in my head of like, maybe that's just going to be the Call of Duty spot, right? Every year we're going to have the Xbox thing, we're going to have the Call of Duty thing.
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 made a lot of sense to me. I have two minds of that. One, maybe they just want to make sure that, hey, we're spotlighting whatever big game that isn't called. Call of Duty is going to get the clicks anyways. It doesn't matter. But also, too, maybe the Call of Duty just isn't that exciting this year, right?

The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
Hell yeah. Yeah, no, I think it was also definitely kind of funny day, right? Like not going home until like what, 1 a.m., 2 a.m.? Yeah. And then like yesterday we watched Raw and we stayed here and Raw ended at what, like 8 or something? And like I went home and I still wanted to do things, right? Like I still wanted to clean my apartment.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
I think there's strong potential. We've talked about this, right? I've been of the opinion that I think the game being structured the way it is with that mid-game switch to Abby I think is more...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
meaningful of a thing as a game because you as a player you are like starting from zero essentially right you are being put in the shoes of a different character like literally having to control this different character and like you know have to build this relationship with this different character i think that hits different in a video game than it does in a tv show that said i think the more i've sat with it over time and i think honestly
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
the thing that might've changed me a little bit on this is wicked where I watched the wicked movie. And that is such a one for one adaptation. And I think back to last was one season one. And that is such a one for one adaptation to where I'm watching this. And I'm like, yeah, maybe they don't need to get cute. Like maybe they don't need to switch them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
Maybe, maybe it is exactly what we're, what we expected it to be, where you finish the season. And it is like basically where that chapter of last was two ends where you get that switch to, to Abby. Yeah.

Well, actually, never mind. I was going to ask, because, like, Ellie, in the video game scene, she beats Nora to death, like, not with a gun, right? Doesn't she just, like, fucking beat the fuck out of her? Yeah. But I guess you can still do that if you have a gun. Like, maybe, yeah.

Yeah, she's in a lot. I don't know what I know her from. I know her from something, but I can't recall. I can't wait for the show to convince me that Ellie on the left is going to get as angry as Ellie on the right. Because I look at Ellie on the left and I'm like, she can do no wrong. Actually, that is a good point. I look at Ellie on the left, and I'm like, that's an upstanding individual.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
That's an upstanding citizen of the post-apocalyptic United States. She would never do any wrong.

The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
I agree. I hope, because the rumor slash reports of the TV show was that it was going to be more of a prequel kind of thing, like maybe leading into how we got into the world of Horizon Zero Dawn. Oh, is that true? That sounds kind of cool. That's what we talked about a lot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
I just pulled that out of my ass, because I remember talking about that a lot, and I think that was definitely a strongly rumored thing. I hope that if they're doing a movie, just adapt the game.

The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
just have it be about aloy just have it be like the story we know because i think the story you know is compelling i think it's actually a really good um sci-fi post-apocalyptic story and i honestly i think that could read really well on the big screen like i think that also like might be able to give it like the production and length you need to tell a story like that um i'm all for this i'm with you i think this is a way better idea than a tv show
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

what a world bless we've been talking and i've been complaining a lot about how like as the year as the last couple of years have gone on we've been getting more and more video game adaptations announced and it feels like we're just doing too much this is one of the ones that feels right though it does this is one of the ones where i'm like i see the vision here because you're just gonna make starship troopers
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
One of the things I did, I broke out of the story just for time, but like still blew me away when I read it, even though we know this information, but just being reminded, Helldiver 2 was the fastest selling PlayStation Studios game of all time. Fastest selling. 12 billion copies in just 12 weeks. Yeah. That's crazy. That's nuts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
You forget about that, but, like, yeah, like, that's fucking awesome. And then the other thing is, how do we get Gary Whitta on the writing team? Oh, my God. Because, like, this seems like his dream project.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
Hey, hold on a second. For some reason, I can't hear you. Hold on. Probably on Bluetooth. He's playing PlayStation. He's playing all the others. Had them Pulse Explorers on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
Right? And so it's like, I can't even change to any other thing to do. Right? It's like, I have to have my screen on Pokemon and it has to be auto battling. So I just don't have access to my phone for maybe hours at a time because I'm running that shit back over and over again while I'm cooking breakfast.

That would be so cool. Legitimately, that's one of those ones where I'm like, man, I'm just watching a man live his dream. And it warms my heart.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
Oh, you're talking about the... From Software Apparent Company? Yeah. I don't know why. I think you not getting it just erased it from my brain. My bad, my bad. Katakawa, Katakawa.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
I do love Legends. I'm fascinated by this. I'm in a place where I don't hate it. I also don't love it either. This is one that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
i don't know if i ever would have asked for as far as a ghost of tsushima legends anime because like it's not like playing ghost of tsushima legends i'm here for the narrative of legends right i'm not here for like the world of legends necessarily i like ghost of tsushima for that right i think the jinsukai and what's going on in that game as far as those characters fucking awesome legends i am there for the gameplay right i'm there for the co-op of it um if you've
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
missed out on legends right that is the co-op multiplayer uh portion of ghost of tsushima that came out a few months after the game originally came out and like it was really substantial had a raid had a bunch of different missions that you could do with friends was really fun i think still to this day very underrated portion of ghost of tsushima it was so good that it skyrocketed ghost of tsushima from like just being probably top 10 like contender for me to like legitimately probably being like i think in my top three that year as far as like my favorite games of 2020 um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
That said, this seems like one of those ones, I'm of two minds of it, right? I think this could be cool, because Legends, narratively, and this might be a you're wrong slash I might have to refresh my memory, Legends, I think, is like a supernatural take on, like, the stories that happen in Ghost of Tsushima, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
I think the idea of it was, like, years down the line, this is people telling the stories of the ghosts, like, of, like... They're legends. Yeah, they're legends now, right? So they're telling them as legends of, like, oh... Yeah, right? Because the idea of Jin Sakai was so big and so cool that certainly it had to be some kind of supernatural aspect to it or whatever, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
So I think that is, as anime... That's a lot of potential and could be really cool. And honestly, like kudos to these teams for identifying that as like, oh, we can tell a story here. I think that's really cool and kind of niche for what we're working with here. But yeah, on the other hand, I'm like, this could come and go very easily. Like this could be something that comes out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
Not many people watch and like we just all kind of forget about it. But I got respect for it. Right. Like good for them for identifying this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
I could see it launching down the line. If this is timed, although it would be weird to announce it this way, but if it is timed with a Yotei Legends mode, maybe there's synergy there, especially if they want to go bigger with it, which I would hope. I would love that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I understand.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
This is all just very fascinating. I don't even know where to start as far as commenting on it. But yeah, I think the thing when you look at these numbers is... Like, what does that include? Does that include marketing costs? Because we know marketing costs are huge. I imagine it does, yeah. Right? But even with that, right? Like, you look at those numbers and you go, God damn.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
I do believe that that is a Niantic thing, right? Because this game isn't being made by Niantic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
$700 million for one game is insane. And, like, it'd be really fascinating to just see the breakdown of that. Like, where did these costs come from, right? Like, is marketing included? And even with marketing included, right? Like, what did that... How did that 30 million copies sold, like, shake the company, right? Like, what was the response to that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
Did that actually work in the way that you wanted to? Like, was it just the pandemic? Like, well, how did we end up in this place where, yeah, you have the $700 million, you have 30 million copies sold.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

This is the fun. Getting our addiction is what they're getting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
I just keep looking at 700 million and I try to keep because like that was five years ago now for Black Ops Cold War. I'm trying to like I'm trying to remember what went wrong because there must have been a story there. Was that the one without a campaign? I think the chat, like, which one didn't have a campaign? What went wrong? There must have been stories about something.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
There must have been a delay. There must have been something that we're forgetting with Black Ops Cold War.

yeah they're they're using your phone to crypto maybe i don't know they're doing something kevin's right they're doing something we'll get to the bottom of this there's a blessing show brewing my conspiracy isn't it isn't with pokemon my conspiracy well i have different conspiracies with pokemon my conspiracy is with niantic they're i mean obviously it's confirmed that they're up to something yeah it's not a conspiracy anymore they're just like hey but i've been saying what we're doing i've been saying it for years they have so much access to everything
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
There's got to be money laundering. Like, I don't want to throw Walters around. There's got to be something crazy happening with how this money is getting thrown around. Because this doesn't make sense. There must be, like, again, when you look at where these numbers are coming from, right? I mean, these numbers are coming from Kelly, right? And, like.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
Okay, that's what I thought. So, I thought whoever mentioned it before, like, knew something that we didn't. There must be, yeah. One, this has to include marketing. Like, this absolutely has to include marketing. But then also, yeah, like the way that the numbers are being reported, right? Like this is from Kelly, who's like doing it in favor of, hey, there's a lawsuit going on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
We want to give context to it. Like, I wonder if there is a reason. I wonder if they're inflating those numbers for reasons to work in their benefit for the lawsuit. Like, that's the way I have to rationalize this, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
Of, like, oh, man, maybe the more we show that Call of Duty is just a big machine, like, the less that, like, you can look at it for the reason for the specific scenario of a shooting, which we haven't even talked about that. That's, like, you know, while that one, that this is how this comes out, and I'm sure we've talked about this before as far as, like, you know, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
how wild the world is right seeing current events like shootings getting pointed back to video games as far as this being the cause and how some things never change as far as what the conversation is in the news and like about video games a lot of that all that i digress i wonder if there's artificial inflating of these numbers for some reason regarding this lawsuit
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
But I mean, this is all speculation, right? Obviously, I don't know.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25
the fluidity of it obviously it's not gonna look choreographed the way that this looks choreographed but when you play virtual fighter and you want when you watch virtual fighter footage for like previous games that have already come out like compared to other fighting games even compared to tech and like there is there is a fluidity to movement that is meant to depict a bit more i think martial arts martial artsy like realism uh like a grounded groundedness to it and i do like that angle of showing that off as the vision right hey we want to make something that like

what were you doing like what was your like nightly routine you staying up late playing games every night you staying up late like watching movies yeah pretty much playing games like it was playing games i would hang out with friends periodically and i think like it would just be the fact that i would get home late which means that i'm gonna sleep in late which means i'm just getting my day started late yeah and so everything gets just gets pushed forward and now i'm in the process of like trying to push everything back and trying to actually wake up at 7 a.m like i like to do and it's becoming more and more challenging

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25

Yeah, Billstown episode was, like, incredible. And I love how they portrayed that character and really uplifted what that was going to be.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25

I want to bring in some super chats. Of course, you asked the question, does this dampen your hype, Greg? CJ splits and writes in and says, do you... Well, actually, no, this isn't about the hype. Foxy Steve writes in and says... We had a lot of super chats before we ever even got there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Foxy Steve writes in and says, my hype isn't gone since we still don't know the features and software lineup, which is what excites me. Noah Alm writes in and says, I'm still excited. The Switch 2 is the first console where I don't care about the hardware at all. I just want to see what the games are. And I think that's another thing for me. I don't really care about these leaks as much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I know this is story number one. I know we get hyped about the Switch 2. In theory, I'll devour anything. But I see these leaks and I'm like, alright, cool. I just want to know. I just want to know.

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Yeah. Nothing. What are they pointing at? Here's the thing, to add context, this was their Twitter header before. I think they'd switched it to something else, and this is them switching it back. Me. Oh! They're pointing at Barrett! They're revealing Barrett. The Barrett 2. With magnets. I want to bring in some more Super Chats.

And then I'm circling back around to this one from CJ Splitson, who writes in and says, do you think the Switch 2 will end up being more expensive than the PS5 and Xbox Series X? I'm guessing $400 slash $450 for Switch 2 and PS5 and X will be around $400 by 2026. Well, it's 2025.

How much was the Switch 1 when that launched? Was that $300?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I think at most, at most $400 for Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Oh, how much was the OLED? That's a good question. See, that might have been like $350. But I'm standing by... Oh, here we go. Launched $300, and then OLED came out $350. Still $350 now, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Yeah, I'm going to say Switch 2, $350. $350. I think maybe you can get away with $400.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
But I would hope that price would have come down by now, right? Because Switch OLED came out three years ago, four years ago?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
And Streets are saying, like, this ain't going to have the OLED screen in it for the Switch 2. No, no, no. I think that's going to cost $400. Casting with this button? I mean, you might cast. Serena Carpenter's cat?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
She's got to pay Serena Carpenter somehow. $3.99, take it to the bank. Let's move on to story number two. Virtuous is making an unannounced Unreal Engine 5 remake. This is Tom Ivan at Video Games Chronicle. Super chat question for you. What do you want the remake to be? Virtuous is working on an unannounced remake built with Unreal Engine 5 for Xbox Series X, Slash S, PS5, and PC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
That's according to the LinkedIn profile of a technical art director at Virtuous in Shanghai, China. While the identity of the project remains a mystery, it's reignited speculation that a remake of 2006's The Elder Scrolls VI Oblivion. No, The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. Toss the coin with Roman numerals. The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion could be in development at Virtuous.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
In July 2023, a Reddit user said to be a former Virtuous employee claimed that the studio was working on a remake of Oblivion. They said that the title would make use of a pairing system that would run the game on both Unreal Engine 5 and the Oblivion Engine. Quote, for instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay, physics, etc.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
are still done on the Oblivion Engine, they claimed. And later that year, a leaked court document revealed a roadmap of planned Bethesda games from 2020, which included an Oblivion remaster. Greg, do you think this is Oblivion?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Yeah. I mean, I'm with you. Where there's smoke, there's fire, right? Of, like... You're telling me that there were reports already of them working on something in Unreal Engine 5 and it's coming to PS5 and PC and Xbox. And, like, enough of it lines up with the employee from Virtuous.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
And I'm not... I think over the years, I've leaned less and less on, like, LinkedIn as a source of news because it's so unreliable. And, like, talking to people in the industry, it's like, there's so many reasons why job hosting might come up. There's so many reasons why, like, XYZ thing could end up being, you know... placed on a profile or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I'm thinking for the most...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
This just lines up so cleanly and just makes so much sense. And, you know, we're talking about Virtuous, which I believe is also working on MGS3 Delta, right? Like, they're the developer on that. Like, if this is their identity as a studio... I could be a really good identity.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Like, honestly, like, if Bluepoint, here's my thing, if Bluepoint is making the shift to working on original content and they're getting out of the strictly remake game, we need somebody to step in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
And if Virtuous, if they knock it out the park with the Metal Gear Solid Delta remake and then their next project is an Oblivion remake, That's a pretty good resume as a developer. I kind of hope it's true, but also, yeah, it seems like something that winds up. Did you ever play Oblivion? No. Yeah, right. Yeah, my first Elder Scrolls thing was Skyrim. My first Destiny thing was Fallout 3.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Yeah. But, I mean, if it's not this, what do you think it could be?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Has Oblivion ever been on a PlayStation console? Would this be the first time...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
i believe maybe i'm thinking morrowind because morrowind was original xbox right we're a bit outside of our world yeah oblivion was ps3 so i think it was okay gotcha either way it came later yeah i was gonna say it wasn't hot yeah okay gotcha either way right like i this would also be a slam dunk of a decision because should i play oblivion i mean they're now you might you might be able to get a remake you know just wait how long do i gotta wait probably like two years i imagine

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
You're, like, the person who I'm pretty sure convinced me to play Persona 4 from listening to Bionna and all that stuff. But, like, I think you're just out of that era. Doesn't mean you're not going to be in that era again. Yeah. 10 years from now, you might pick up Metaphor We Fantasio and go, man... And that's my whole thing, you know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25

A few days ago, I was listening to the Undertale soundtrack. And, like, I just had, like, the internal feeling of, like, man... It's rare that a game makes me feel like this. Like, why hasn't there been more Undertales since Undertale?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Wonder Boy! And, like, thinking about it more, I was like, no, it's not that there have not been more Undertales. I think I've just not been playing them. Because, obviously, you know, it's not like I'm not out here playing. Like, I've loved Immortality, which I would put in that camp. I loved Inscription, which I would put in that camp. But I know there's more out there.

Here's something that's definitely another, again, time-consuming game that's going to take me forever to get through. Alright, let's move on to story number three. Lenovo Legion Go S is the first authorized third-party SteamOS handheld. This is Tom Ivan at VGC. Lenovo has revealed Legion Go S, the first officially licensed third-party SteamOS handheld.

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
The portable gaming PC boasts an 8-inch screen with VRR support and fused controllers with adjustable trigger switches and Hall Effect joysticks. One of several new Lenovo Legion gaming devices announced at CES on Tuesday, the Go S will launch in May 2025 with a starting price of $499.99. Quote,

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
This new handheld combines the powerhouse features of the Lenovo Legion Go S with the flexibility and console-like experience of SteamOS, Valve's operating system that is optimized for gaming, according to Lenovo. Featuring cloud saves that mean a seamless transition between PC gaming and handhelds, remote play that streams games to the device from a PC, full Steam Store and Steam Library access.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
The Lenovo Legion Go S, powered by SteamOS, is a big step forward in freedom of choice for gamers who are looking for an OS that is optimized for handheld gaming. End quote. Greg, does this do anything for you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Yeah, the one problem I have with all this, and I don't think it's a problem in the long run in terms of what all this is, right? But it's the fact that I have a Steam Deck. For me personally, right? I don't need to buy a Legion. I don't need to buy any of those other things. It's not like RajAlly is like, hey, if you have a Steam Deck, you should also buy a RajAlly. I know that's not a ROG ally.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I know that's not because of RajPorn. I don't know that's not what the pitch is and what the marketing is of this, but I'm like you, where I see more of these things get announced, and immediately I'm like, oh, man, there's a lot of PC handhelds. And I think from, I guess, our pundit perspective, right? Like, I look at it, I'm like, oh, can all these handhelds coexist?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
But I'm also like, well, a bunch of PCs coexist fine, right? Like, I think that's just what this side of the tech world is, is, hey, people have options. It's not like Lenovo is going to try and sell...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
10 million units you know to the same market that's buying a bunch of steam decks and a bunch of rog allies and all these other things but yeah i am like you where i'm like all right i'm a bit lost in all this but i think the thing that does stand out to me in the story is the fact that steam is going hard with steam os and other people to like use that as the basis of their platform
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Maybe, I don't know. See, my thing is, I look at it almost like more like Android operating system. Like, hey, you... The people that are making these hardware don't have to worry about the Lenovo OS and having to figure all that shit out and having it be a headache for me and you, where me and you have Steam libraries.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
And the easiest way for us to have that PC experience on a handheld device is to just figure out how to get Steam on it. Let me boot up my device and have it go directly into Steam in the way that Steam Deck does and have that experience. So now I'm in a place where... I know right now I love the Steam Deck, and I'm ride or die for my Steam Deck.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Once the Steam Deck feels old to me, now it isn't just automatically Steam Deck 2. I have options as far as, okay, I could get the latest and greatest Steam Deck, or maybe I should look into the Lenovo Legion, because maybe hardware-wise, it might have its benefits. Or maybe I look into...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
other handhelds that hopefully in the future are going to feature SteamOS and I think bust that part of it wide open as far as, oh shit, I have my Steam library easily accessible through all these different things. That's the exciting part for me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
That's definitely, I think, a kind of funny.com slash you're wrong. If people can write with that.

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
And I also do want to shout out that, like, if that is a new story from today, more likely we're going to talk about it on Gamescast after this. Because the Gamescast is going to be Andy and Tim talking about all the news from CES. Because, like, there's just so much tech stuff that all is, like, really cool. There it is.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Department of Defense has classified Tencent, a major investor in several big video game companies, as a Chinese military company. The report from Bloomberg states that Tencent, alongside battery maker CATL, have been added to a list that classifies them as Chinese military companies.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
The designation itself does not carry any legal consequences such as sanctions, but inclusion on the list is not ideal for companies looking to conduct business in the United States.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
As a result, while there is no immediate impact to what this designation means for Tencent, this is still a company that owns Riot Games and has heavy investments in a variety of other game companies, including Epic Games, Larian Studios, and From Software. There are also reports that say Tencent is in negotiations with investing more into companies like Ubisoft.

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Tencent has told Bloomberg that this designation is clearly a mistake, and both Tencent and CATL will be pushing to remove their names from the Department of Defense's list. Previously, Chinese phone manufacturer Xiaomi was added to the same list in 2021 and then removed from it a few months later. Oh, thank goodness. Greg? Greg? Okay, we'll see if it gets removed, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Yeah, this is one where it's like, I mean, I don't have anything to add to this. Listen, for as little as I know about video games, I know even less about Chinese military companies. But yeah, like, I don't know.

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25

For whatever reason, it's not been able to get its claws into me and I'm not being able to play all the way through it. I think if I get to the ending of that game, I might fall in love and it might be my favorite game of all time. Or I'll be like, you motherfuckers wasted my time. But I've heard so many people talk about Outer Wilds and say that it's one of the best games they've ever played.

We have six stories today. The Baker's Dozen! Starting with our number one. Switch 2 leaks turn into deluge as dummy units are shown at CES. This is Tom Phillips at Eurogamer.

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
And Super Chat, I believe this is courtesy of Greg Miller. Do these leaks dampen your hype for Switch 2? Which I think is a very good question.

Accurate models of Nintendo's underwrapped Switch 2 have been shown off at the CES 2025 trade show in Las Vegas by accessories manufacturer Genkai. French website Numerama went hands-on with one of these models and was told by Genkai representatives that it was based on access to the actual Switch 2, which it expected to launch in April this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Is it Genki? I always said Genki, but I'm an idiot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Incredibly, the report states that access to an actual Switch 2 unit via the black market is also now possible. Quote, if you put up the money. End quote. Nintendo is still to announce Switch 2, but at this point it feels like there's little left to learn about how the next generation handheld will look.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Still, these latest images and video of the Switch 2 dummy unit that Genkai is showing off, or Genki, is showing off, gives us our best view yet of the hardware.

Separately, yet another accessories manufacturer has begun advertising its own add-ons via Amazon in Japan. Images of a Switch 2 console cover from third-party company Lazero offer yet another look at what the handheld is expected to look like. There's even more than this happening, right?

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
As I was scrolling, doing the morning roundup of news, I was on VGC, and they had an article about how the Switch 2 logo might have leaked. It seems like every day, the leaks just get bigger and bigger. Come on, Nintendo!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
but no i i wake up and i'm like i'm not letting myself go back to sleep i ended up opening up magic arena on my phone there you go and just playing a few matches there you go and the best part of waking up and in my head i'm like oh a match of magic arena that'll last three minutes these not last three minutes these last and we're like 10 to 15 yeah um but i'm here you know
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
But I think that's my thing, is with the console leaks, with the hardware leaks, this doesn't dampen my hype, more so for the fact that this is all, I think, what we all expect, right? Like, oh, it's just a Switch 2. You look at it, and it looks like a Switch. Obviously, we've heard the things about the magnetic Joy-Cons, but I'm not sitting here like, oh, magnets.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
And that's my thing is the information is being presented in such a, like, weird but also, like, I don't know, kind of a boring way of, oh, yeah, we have CES mock-ups of the Switch 2 from a company that's an accessories company that apparently has, like, seen the Switch 2 and all this stuff. Like, I look at this and I'm like, ah. What the fucking hype? Yeah, like, where's the gusto?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
And Nintendo, when they announce this thing, when they actually finally reveal it, they're going to bring the gusto. We might get the couch. We're going to get the personality. My thing is... Apparently, we're getting Sabrina Carpenter. I hope we get Sabrina Carpenter. If Pharrell shows up, though. I'll be his beats. It'll be his beats. That's fine. I'm fine with that. It's the games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
If the games start leaking, which I hope they don't.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I don't think they won't. I mean, anything can happen. This is hardware stuff, and it's third party. Nintendo usually pretty good about their leaks. I was going to say, Greg Barrett... Like, Nintendo game leaks. I feel like we don't get those as often.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Like, I think if I saw, like, if a new Ocarina 3D or something like that leaked, I would be a bit more surprised. Granted, we do get things like, I know Jeff Grubb has been talking about these 3D Zelda remasters for years at this point, right? He's making it up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
exactly but like even those it's like all right who cares right like okay cool we're gonna get 3d Zelda remasters if I would be surprised if these launch games for the switch launch like first party especially first party launch year games for the switch to leaked and if they do I think that is where I'm like oh man now this is taking down some of the Amazon right
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
the election you know well i think talking about the announcement right i think the announcement is more so the thing that people think got delayed because of the election but like i think the rumor that we had i think a bit over a year ago is that the switch to was going to come out in 2024 like late 2024 and then ended up internally getting delayed to 2025
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Yeah, it happens. But wintertime in SF is not like wintertime in the rest of the country.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
And I believe the reasoning that we got out of the rumors and reports was that they wanted to make sure that like the launch slate was like pristine. They wanted to make sure that everything was good. And like, they're going to delay the hardware just to make sure that like they can have the best launch possible in that. And that stuff is ready. And there've been other rumors and reports again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Man, it sucks to be working off of just pure speculation on the internet, but this is where we're at with the Switch 2. I believe there are other reports of people saying that devs that are working on Switch 2 games are kind of frustrated that it wasn't announced yet because that thing was probably supposed to be out by now and all this stuff, right? And so...

That's a, that's a good point. And especially cause the, the big moneymakers less so, um, like the, the $60 now or $70, whatever it is right now is just the gateway entryway into getting people. It's ultimate team. Yeah. To get to the real moneymaker. Um, And yeah, if you raise that, if you raise that kind of like, just like a Dorfie, right? Like how many people are going to go in?

Like, this wasn't, like, a media... I think we kind of joked about it, like, once or twice in the last few years, but then once... Mario Kart went to $80. I think that's when people were like, well, if a Mario Kart's going to be $80, how much is a GTA going to be?

Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Could be. But here's the thing. I keep picking up Outer Wilds because I've been slow playing it, and that game is giving me so much joy. I think it's also the thing, though, where I'm not finding the time to just play Outer Wilds. Sit down and just have that be the game. Wait, this is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I don't think that was part of the conversation at all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Did that make the news report? No, he's not in Tony Hawk 3.

five-year-old game or whatever it is yeah but like it's a five-year-old game that has given me so much joy yeah but it's also like one where i i feel like i have to like fight for time for me to sit down and play so i'm playing a real simple answer for you on how to make some time don't play volleyball at 10 30 at night what are you fucking doing this is the last game of the season god that's over with oh man oh i'm signing up for another season we're running it back volleyball is the best sport i love volleyball
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Yeah. I try to look into the actual Variety article to see the exact wording of the question because I do wonder if they're asking Neil about, like, hey, Neil, are you going to make another Last of Us 3 type thing, right? And, like, I'm at the end of the Variety article here, which reads, and this is an article that is about The Last of Us,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
TV show season two, but they ended it here saying, then there's the long whispered possibility of the last is part three quote. I was waiting for this question. Druckmann says, uh, citing, um, when I was, when I, when I bring up the prospect of a third game, I guess the only thing I would say is don't bet on there being more last of us. This could be it. Uh, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
So he's not even just talking about himself, right? It seems like he's talking about the idea of a last was three, which he might be connecting himself to, or might be connecting naughty dog too. And, uh, I think wrapped up in all the things you're just saying there, right? I think there is the idea of what you said at the beginning. Hey, we're focused on Intergalactic right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
We want this to be the topic of the conversation. We want this to be the focus because this is our next few years. It's Naughty Dog. And then also, how far along are you with Last of Us 3? When do you envision a Last of Us 3 even coming out if you envision it coming out, right? If we're talking about Intergalactic coming out
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
let's say 2027 then are we talking about 2032 2033 for last was three is that even a thing you want to even be thinking about at this point or do you just want to be like hey that's not a thing right now yeah it is just intergalactic it's intergalactic until we are start until we start to ramp down on you know the work we're doing on that then we'll start ramping up the work on whatever our next thing is which could be last was three or maybe it's intergalactic too
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
like i think that that's another conversation to be had as far as if intergalactic is the start of a franchise do you then go all right intergalactic 2026 or 2027 all right we're gonna spend the next four years working on another last list game and then come back to intergalactic four years later so it's going to be eight to ten years between intergalactic games or do you do what um sony santa monica just did with god of war and go hey here's god of war 2018 boom here's god of war ragnarok six years later five years later whatever it is and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Try to treat these franchises a bit more, I guess, actively in terms of putting out releases. Because if you go back to Last of Us, that puts Intergalactic on ice for probably a decade.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
That I'm better at it. I am so bad at soccer. And, like, as a team, we're not great at volleyball. Like, we didn't get any volleyball wins this season either. But at the very least, yeah, like, I'm playing for the love of the game. I feel like I am competent at volleyball. And, like, there's a level of input that I feel like I can give toward volleyball because I know how to bump.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Yeah. My thing is, and this might be a bigger conversation, right? Because I think now, once I get into this, I'm starting to think decades ahead of Naughty Dog. And at that point, it's fairytale. But in talking about my intergalactic thing of, hey, you want to keep this franchise active, Naughty Dog, so far, has been knocking out the park in the last...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
two generations, I guess two and a half generations, whatever you want to call it, as far as Uncharted into Last of Us, into now a new IP that people are excited about. How many IPs can you make that are going to end up as PlayStation main, top-tier IPs until PlayStation looks at you and goes, hey, you can't support all these IPs. We need to give this to somebody else. Then you lose it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Would you rather... try to give it to somebody else and lose the sauce or never have another Uncharted ever again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Yeah. Like you can't support three different IP.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I would too, yeah. I think I... For me, there's the business way of thinking about it and the creative way of thinking about it. I think the creative way of thinking about it, and this goes back to the Super Chat question, is, man, I'd be so down for no more Last of Us.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
If you said, hey, Last of Us 2 is the last Last of Us game, and we envision that as the end of this franchise, I think that'd be a beautiful thing, and that'd be so freeing as a creative... And then you get into this thing where, again, I think there's the wiggle room of making a Last of Us that just isn't Joel Ely or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And that's where I get into the business sense of it, where if I'm CEO of PlayStation, if I'm head of PlayStation Studios, I am going, hey... I'm sorry, we're not ripping Last of Us away from you, but somebody else is going to make a Last of Us thing. Somebody else is making an Uncharted thing. We just struck out on Concord and we got fair games that we don't know if that's coming out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
We don't know. We had a plan to make money and that plan isn't slash hasn't worked. The right plan to make money right now is to look at our biggest IPs and go, hey, let's continue feeding our audiences with Uncharted and Last of Us. And this is where you get into that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I know how to set. I know how to, like, You know, like I have the reflexes that I think are tailor made for volleyball as opposed to soccer. I get the ball and all of a sudden, like, it's like I have two left feet. Right. I'm tripping over myself. I'm like, what am I doing here? I love soccer in theory, but playing soccer is a different thing for me. Sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
No, it's just Lost Legacy. Legacy is Lost. I just like that connection. But I will say the pushback I'll give to that is the amount of Walking Dead we got from Telltale and the amount of Telltale games we got in how many years? Like five years? Seven years? Versus... we've gotten two Last of Us games since 2013, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Like, I feel like you can sprinkle two more in that time period and it won't be as watered down, right? I think it would be fine. But there's a balance to it, right? I don't think you can overplay the Last of Us thing. I don't think you can overplay your biggest franchises because then you do get into that. But I think having one other studio work on a Last of Us thing, like, I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I think there's a balance. There are even uncharted thing. I think there's a balance there that allows us to have our cake. You need to do.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
How dare they? Not even worth it. I do think the last list to critique slash hate goes beyond that though. Right? Like I think a big part of it obviously is biggest, but I do think there's elements of, of like how much of a tonal shift it was as far as like it being about hate, it being about violence. Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I don't know what happened because the middle school I was better at soccer somehow as an adult. I just don't have it anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And like, I think it leaving a bad taste in people's mouth, the mouths during the pandemic, especially for a story like that. Right. I remember coming out of last list too, and not feeling good. Like I look at that game as art and I like the game. Right. But like, I don't think I can ever play that game again. Interesting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
But I do think that all of it works together as far as, man, Last of Us 2 is just a very charged game as far as subject matter. And now that world is a charged world to go back to. And I could see them being like, all right, let's make new worlds. We still want to make art, obviously. We still want to make our statements or whatever, but can we do this in new worlds that aren't as... Charged.

Montreal, Chicago.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I think if you don't plan to make more games, then yeah, I think that'd be a perfect bow to tie on it. Because I think there are so many of us that do wonder, alright, what was the next step for Ellie? What did Ellie do after this? Is there an epilogue to this story beyond the epilogue that we got in the video game already? I think the TV show could be a good way to handle that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
If you handle it well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Yeah, like we write to Webster and be like, yo, let's add a Z to cancellations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
That's cute, Greg!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
What's happening? Yeah, this is one that was tweeted out, I think as the show was going live, from Noble via Insider Gaming. Ballistic Moon, which is the studio that did the Until Dawn remake, has reportedly shut down. According to Insider Gaming sources, only the founders remain and possibly a handful of employees. Damn. Yeah. So, two back-to-back places.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I mean, Ballistic Mood isn't a PlayStation studio, but obviously they just did a PlayStation studio project.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Yeah. But, obviously, with all these stories, our hearts go out to the developers. Of course. And... There are bullet points to talk about here as far as we've seen the story over and over again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Yeah, it's a bit of a rinse and repeat as far as, oh man, the games industry is in such a rough place right now. A lot of studios shutting down. A lot of layoffs are happening. I think this is one that... I think steps out a bit more in terms of visibility because it is a PlayStation studio. Right. And so you look at it and you're like, oof. Yeah. Like I, it feels like we see this happen, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I want to say less from first parties. That's not even true. Cause we've seen it happen for Xbox. We've seen the bungee stories as well. So, um, I don't know. It just sucks to see like every week there's another story like this. Is there anything that sticks out to you? Uh,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I mean, I think that's the right thing, right? Like, I think... You talk about the risk of making a new IP as Naughty Dog when you have Uncharted and you have Last of Us. I think context brings into that as well as the fact that they were making Last of Us online.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And so as Intergalactic is coming out as a new single player IP, you had another thing that was the multiplayer version of one of your very popular IPs that was going to be an ongoing revenue generator for you. And so you have that safety cushion there. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I'm with you that Naughty Dog is a brand, and Naughty Dog, I think, with the new IP, most likely you're going to have a success, and you're going to have a sales success. You're going to have something that is going to blow up and be the next talk of the town and all that shit, right? Game of the Year contender, all that shit. But I do think that you have to look at the IP you have.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And honestly, I am on the side of, all right, it's what you said earlier as far as make a Last of Us with different characters, different region or whatever, and give it to a different studio. I think that's what you have to do. You have to make another single-player Last of Us game. You have to make another single-player Uncharted game. It doesn't have to be Nathan Drake, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
It doesn't have to be Joel and Ellie. But when you have these studios that are, you know... that are receiving the effects of Concord being a failure and God of War Online. Like, God of War Online getting canceled and this shit, right? And your only solutions so far are Remaster Last of Us... Remaster Last of Us Part 2. Ah, shit. Errata Last of Us is a remaster. It's like, people...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
you're you're doing things that almost feel like i know they're not desperate per se because these are just regular business moves but it feels like last resorts as far as hey we got to do something to get money out of this franchise and so we're going to master these things so we can get to the next game what happens when you're out of that and then you get back to this thing we're talking about right of like the art versus the business of it and people are always like i think the layoffs happen right
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And so I don't know. I don't know where the, I guess the malaise is coming from, but I'm hoping I, you know, cruise through it. I mean, you know, the seasons of life.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25

How do we get these Marvel licenses to more of our studios? Yeah. Like, Insomniac, you're doing Iron Man. You're doing Spider-Man. You're doing Wolverine. Cool. Let's fucking get Doctor Strange into the hands of Ben. Let's fucking, like, you know, how do... He rides a motorcycle. He rides a motorcycle and runs away from a bunch of zombies, right? But...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I think at the end of the day, it still is a business. It still is the thing of, like, sure, yes, you got hired. You're working at Bend. It's a dream come true. You want to make the next new big PlayStation IP. Like, you're working at AAA Studio for a gigantic publisher, right? You're working for PlayStation, which is under Sony, which is maybe under another thing. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
But, like, you are...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
in the top tier of hey we gotta make these financial decisions and a lot of the time that does come down to IP and I hate it like I'm not saying anything that I like currently but I just and I don't know I guess this is the thing is I feel like that wasn't always the case I feel like that wasn't always the case and even now is it the case is it not but whatever like it wasn't always the case where it did feel like the first parties were making weird shit and doing all sorts of stuff yeah like but that was two generations ago right like you look at video game budgets I'm with you I understand I agree video games are just so out of whack right now
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And I'm sad I missed the conversation with Matt Piscitella because, like, I guess a question that I would have asked – maybe you did ask this question. I only listened to half the episode. I'm sorry. That's fine. Now you're busy. But I would have asked, is there an equilibrium in all this, right? Do we get back to, hey, you're a gigantic developer, but you can make weird shit?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Is that a thing that could happen, Greg? Can we get back? Can we make video games great again? JK. Not for real, but... I'm just hitting a mat. Greg is typing for you perversely.

I almost skipped volleyball last night because I wanted to watch Daredevil season four. You should have shown some dedication. Disney's going to cancel it because they're like, I'm the reason.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I don't know. Because I guess my question even to take it to the next step... I want Herman on the show. Herman, come be on the show. What does a healthy AAA video game industry look like in 2025? That's my actual question, right? Like, is there a balance of, hey, we're a publisher... Because obviously, we have publishers that we...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
you know praise and stuff i look at capcom i look at sega right now which we'll talk about in a second right but like there are publishers that i look at and i'm like damn you're doing the damn thing but those feel fewer and far between and i the question i have is yeah like what does a healthy triple a industry look like can you have a publisher that is hey you know we have these fucking great franchises but then we have so many unique cool things that are experimental and all that shit or is that just all up to the indie studio nowadays
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Nintendo is probably a very good example, too, but Nintendo's an anomaly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
the simone wolverine wait do we have plans like of what we're doing with wwe no our audience really doesn't like it it's fucked up it's messed up like again it comes out on friday and i was like oh man i'm gonna be gone so it's like i was like oh that sucks and like i was debating like well what do we do about reviews what do we do about this and then i went back and looked at the review numbers like oh these numbers suck like no one cares everybody shows up to humor greg they're like all right what do you think you know what i mean it's like is it how messed up is it that like i think the things that we love the most are the things that our audience doesn't care
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Yeah. I mean, it's kind of crazy how... I had a doc I was trying to find that I lost. I did a few streams in the last couple years that were my video game developer power ranking, which sometimes we get into publishers because some developers and publishers are kind of conflated, things like Capcom.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
But right now, at the top of my list, I think are Capcom and some of those Sega studios, specifically a studio like Atlus. where, man, y'all have these franchises that are hitting consistently when you want to talk about a Like a Dragon franchise or Sonic, right? And Sonic obviously wavers in quality a lot, but at least the games come out and the Sonic fans happy. And that's what matters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
The fact that the fans are happy and the games are selling well, those are the two biggest things. It might not be critical hits, but the Sonic fans, I don't think give a fuck about that at this point. You're doing that, but then also, yeah, you have Virtual Fighter and Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio and Golden Axe and Streets of Rage.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
What sauce do they have over there at Sega that allows them to do this? And we look at these other studios that we've been talking about, these other publishers we've been talking about already this show, and it doesn't feel like they're able to replicate that sort of variety. Good for Sega.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And not to be long-winded, but I think they also treat their IPs in a very smart way. It's a similar way as we talk about Nintendo, where there's 3D Mario, there's 2D Mario, there's Mario Kart, yadda yadda yadda, right? With Sonic, there's 2D Sonic, there's 3D Sonic, there's the fucking Sonic visual novel where he gets murdered.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
there's which is a real game i remember i remember um there's sonic the racing is coming up but then you look at yakuza there's pirate yakuza there's yakuza gaiden there's the mainline like either you look at persona there's persona dancing there's the persona fighting game that gets remastered there's mainline there's metaphors persona of tactics persona tactics yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Like, that's such a smart way to go about, hey, we have a built-in fan base. How do we create variety within our IP? That's something I think more developers or more publishers could learn from. And I think it's something that you're able to do also when you spread out your IP between different developers. For sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I'm having the ultimate Magic the Gathering moment right now. And I'm like, I know if I make a piece of content about Magic, 7,000 of you will watch it. Not the 20,000 that we're looking for.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Yeah, it's such a statement from people. They threw away the Kang game, I'm sure. It's such a statement from people in the movie industry and not in the game industry, where I'm sure any games industry person sees that quote and is like, all right, good luck. I think the only way you can make it happen is, yeah, partnership with Fortnite.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I mean, Donald Mustard, he's still connected to Fortnite. Is he still the head of? No, he left. He's at Epic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
He left. Yeah, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Because I imagine I would fit this in with the. Oh, is this the game?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
But I mean, Fortnite has the whole Disney partnership, right? So I'd imagine that for something that's on the level of Avengers Doomsday and Avengers Secret Wars, I'll think you're doing a Fortnite integration. You're 1000% doing a Fortnite integration. Yeah, but that's like the extent that I see this going.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
That sounds like a good idea. Make it a video game. Let's do that for Doomsday.

It is interesting that Neil, I guess not interesting is the wrong word, Neil having the authority to To say, I'm trying to read the question verbatim, right? It's been lingering in question. Druckmann gave us our clearest answer yet. No, probably not.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And that is him responding to, is there going to be another sequel to The Last of Us Part II? Neil having the authority to straight up say no. I think it's interesting in the sense that PlayStation owns Last of Us, right? Not Naughty Dog. But PlayStation, I think, is also very... friendly to their studios in the way that... For now. Yeah, hey, Naughty Dog, like, Last List is yours.

I had a story number one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Unboxing the Nintendo Switch 2! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.04.25
This saddens me a bit. Not because I was looking forward to Ubisoft Forward. You want to see what's up with Animal Crossing Assassin's Creed? Yeah, but more so because this feels like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Unboxing the Nintendo Switch 2! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.04.25
another check mark i guess or another chapter i'll say in the story of ubisoft's downfall yeah like the downward spiral of all right like when i look at the rest of this year for ubisoft what are we talking about as far as game releases do they have anything big announced the rest of the year have they even announced the just dance for the for the for the fall season like usually that would happen at the ford or at a summer nintendo direct which i'll still guess would happen at a nintendo partner direct if they had like a smaller one um in like july or late june or something but
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Unboxing the Nintendo Switch 2! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.04.25
The fact that you don't have a Ubisoft forward makes me really worried about their output for the next, I'll say, 12 months. And if they don't have anything major, this feels like, all right, we're planning on wrapping this shit up. I know they've talked about being in the process of trying to sell or trying to do something with it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Unboxing the Nintendo Switch 2! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.04.25
What's up with the next Assassin's Creed or Black Flag reboot? Yeah, yeah.

Unboxing the Nintendo Switch 2! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.04.25
Something's happening there, right? Yeah. I mean, I'd be excited to get like a Splinter Cell announcement, but even with that, it's like, I feel like it were... The slowdown of output from Ubisoft, I think, is the thing that worries me. Yeah, sure. Because even when you are focusing in... But isn't that the right thing to do?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Unboxing the Nintendo Switch 2! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.04.25
Yeah. I don't know. I... If this is more of a shift in terms of the ethos of Ubisoft and focusing in and working on quality, really focusing in on quality, then I think that's good and I'm happy and that becomes a bit more sustainable than putting out just mid after mid after mid. Sure, sure, sure. I just don't have the belief yet in the quality. What about Far Cry 7?

Unboxing the Nintendo Switch 2! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.04.25
Jenna Ortega doesn't give me the vibe. Jenna Ortega... She's a little goth and all mad with her emotions. I feel like she's more Aubrey Plaza type as far as...

Quote, "...despite an encouraging start, the team's passionate work, and a committed fanbase, we've not been able to attract and retain enough players in the long run to compete at the level we aim for in the very demanding free-to-play FPS market." The game is too far away from reaching the results required to enable further significant investment.

And I think I was also a little bit surprised just for the fact that X-Defiant seemed, maybe at first, like it was doing better than even what I expected it to be doing.

But if you want to try and enter this space of having a free-to-play first-person shooter, go for it. But you got to understand what you're working with.

You know, Ubisoft IP sure are, I think, strong to some respect, but they're not going to, it's not Smash Brothers, right? It is Watch Dogs and Far Cry and a bunch of Tom Clancy stuff. You got to understand what that is. And I think for what that is, I was like, all right, this is fun. It's not a 10 out of 10 shooter. It's not like, it's not shooter of the year.

It's not, I don't think game awards nomination type of game. But I think for what it was, I was like, all right, cool. They made a game here that is fun to hop into every now and then. But then as time went on, it felt like there was kind of a, at least for me, there was a pretty quick drop off and maybe for everybody, I don't know.

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
I would love to like see what that chart looks like as far as the X-Defiant player base and how many of those people stuck to it and then how many of those people dropped off because I think post that launch season, I can't even recall what those updates looked like, what that roadmap looked like, what the periodic updates were. It felt like that was one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
It reminds me of Multiverses a little bit in the fact that Multiverses first dropped in that early access thing and felt so strong at launch, but then they just didn't follow up in ways that were worthwhile to people. That would be my bet on what happened here. You dropped, had a good drop, and then a drop off from the audience that was playing it.

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Well, I mean, I think that's another thing that surprises me a little bit about how this has gone because X defiant is one that it's a weird one because part of me is like, Yeah, this is one that's worth abandoning because it didn't interest me as much as I would have liked it to. I think there's an idea there, but to your point, there are so many other games 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's a good handful of games that people spend all their time playing and that people spend all their time in. There was that, I think it was gamesindustry.biz article that was talking about how it was, like, a high percentage of people that were playing games that had come out before, like, the last few years, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
It was, like, people were playing Fortnite, people were playing, like, Call of Duty, Apex, like, they were the games that people keep going back to that aren't part of, like, the new yearly releases, so I think That's a big part of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
But, yeah, like, X-Defined is one that, part of me is like, maybe worth abandoning, but another part of me is like, well, Siege came out in, what, 2015, 2016-ish, somewhere, 2015, and it's not like it came out the hottest game of all time, but they were able to build it into something that became way bigger than what it was at launch, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Like it had like a decent launch, came out, you know, built, built, built. Now Siege is like a contender. Siege is something that matters. I would have thought that if you're trying to recreate that magic, if you're trying to make something into a live service that's going to be lucrative for you, you look at Siege as the example of, hey, we did it here. Let's give X-Defiant more time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Well, that's the thing is, you know, chat and for people watching and listening, this might not be the Avatar game that you thought it was. When the world needed an Avatar The Last Airbender game the most, it vanished.

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
According to Maximum Entertainment's Q3 2024 earnings report, an Avatar The Last Airbender game was one of three titles the company canceled. It seems likely that the title in question is the fighting game announced back in February. However, this was not explicitly confirmed by the developer. Saber Interactive's Avatar game, described as a AAA RPG, seemingly remains in active development.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
So the AAA RPG is safe, everybody. In partnership with Paramount Studios, Maximum Entertainment's Avatar The Last Airbender title was described as a competitive multiplayer fighting game set in the universe of the original series. Although the project wasn't confirmed for any specific platforms, it was announced that the game would launch in early access in 2025.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
The company never disclosed a developer for the title, so it's unclear how far along the project was in development cycle before its cancellation.

It would have to be what the Hunter x Hunter game is about to be. And even the Hunter x Hunter game, I don't know. Or DBZ. Well, that's the thing. It wouldn't get the budget of DBZ. Like, you tell me that Saber Interactive is working on, like, an Avatar fighting game. No, that's not... Like, it's not going to be a good game. Saber's been... Saber? A fighting game?

Don't throw shit at SnowRunner. My thing is more so just that it's a fighting game.

Like that is a, B-9 Namco has to do that.

If you're going to make an Avatar game, Arc System Works would have to be the ones to make it, right? Or if you're going to make an arena thing, you would have to give it a Bandai. I feel like a Saber Interactive Avatar fighting game is not the one. It's not going to be it.

And Maximum Entertainment, I believe, is publishing the game. We don't know the developer of it. And so, like, when you're talking about stuff that they've published, right, they did Squirrel with a Gun, Spirit of the North 2, a bunch of games I've not heard of. How'd they get that IP? Until then.

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
See, for this developer, I think it's more so the thing of, hey, we want to make a game. What IP can we work with? Oh, we can get Avatar? Wait, why? Oh, Nickelodeon doesn't give a fuck? No. They'll just let us use the Avatar IP for a low cost?

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Because I don't even blame the developer, right? Because as a developer... No matter who I am. If you're telling me that Nickelodeon will give me whatever I want. Oh, it's got to be so exciting.

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
And that just seems like such a... It's like fighting fans or anime fans. That's the thing is, I think when you're talking about crossover, Dragon Ball FighterZ was able to make it happen. One, because it's Arxis, but then also because, guess what? The people that watch Dragon Ball Z and that fucking love Dragon Ball Z, those are the people that play fighting games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
And Saber Interactive, you're right. They're a team that I think has the potential to do it. I don't think it's a surefire bet, but they have the potential. They have the budget. They have quality games. They do this. They also do KOTOR, apparently. I mean, the one that's coming up. The Aspire one? Well, remember, Aspire was doing it originally, and then they dropped it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
I believe Saber picked it up. So, like, I don't know. Maybe, I mean, we don't know what that KOTOR game looks like because it probably got started over when Aspire had to drop it.

I think Black Myth is on another level. My thing is, if this was completely determined by the Gooners, Dragon Age would not be here. I feel like there's a mix of people that are voting here and I don't know.

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Remember when Nick Scarpino gave it? No, I mean, Nick also gave Avatar Legend of Korra to Platinum and that shit bombed. It happens. It's the Nickelodeon curse. What they need is a games team. They need a Marvel Games team, right? Somebody who's like, a group of people that are like, hey, we're going to be the shepherds of this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Yeah, people who are going to be like, hey, we're going to get these games or get these IPs into the right hands to actually make good games. Now, for them to actually want to do that, they also have to want to make video games. I don't think Nickelodeon cares that much. I don't think they care about the game side of things. I don't think they give a fuck about that market.

You know how Majin Buu has like the M like logo. He wears like a diaper, doesn't he? But it has like a, I mean, No, it's like white shorts. He looks like he wears an adult diaper.

This is one of those ones where I like, you know, I'm like, listen, I'm, I'm not going to question anything, but I did during the meeting yesterday. I wanted to be like, why are we doing wars on all Wednesdays? It's not like it's a fucking view generator here for war zone. There's so many other games coming out. Marvel rivals Fridays.

For now, let's begin with what is, and forever will be, the Roper Report. It's time for some news. We have 5.5 stories today. A baker's dozen! Starting with .5. Now, before the show, of course, I had my five stories here. Of course, the big story here is Ubisoft and what's going on there. But right before the show, you mentioned that there's a Cloak and Dagger trailer for Marvel Rivals.

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
And then as we were talking a little bit about it, we realized that there's also a Wolverine trailer for Marvel Rivals. And neither of us have seen them, and we're very excited for Marvel Rivals, and we want to check out what these trailers look like. So let's talk about this real quick before we get into our actual news stories here. So this is story point five.

Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24
Barrett, if you can bring up, let's bring up the cloak and dagger trailer first. The excitement's palpable blessing. I'm really excited about it because also I was mentioning this to you. I have no idea. I don't know anything about cloak and daggers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ubisoft Shuts Down XDefiant, Closes Multiple Studios - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.04.24

No, but you're slipping on ice. It's slippery. Yeah, it's slippery. I will never forgive them for what they did in Gears of War 5, where that ice level took, like, fucking 15 hours, and I never finished the game because of it. Every time I boot up the game, it didn't take 15 hours. It probably took, like, two hours.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
But every time I boot up the game, I would be in the frost level, and I'd be like, fuck this game.

It was a 45-hour video game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
All right. Let's talk about this fucking thing, actually. I have trauma when it comes to Borderlands because I worked on the Borderlands show. So I saw a lot of Borderlands and my entire life was Borderlands inside of when I was at college and just fucking going to school, doing seven classes and then working on that show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
So nothing against Borderlands, but it's going to be a hard thing for them to get me in on board because I'm just negative on it. But this, I'm excited to see more of it. I don't know who's going to be on that Gamescast panel talking about it and reacting to it. But I'm interested in that. But I'm more interested in just the release date of it all. Blessing. Because you know what that means.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

What's that? You know, if they're moving it up, what are they moving it up for?

Oh, okay. It was the same day. Gotcha. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Give it a month. Get people to buy that and then feel like they can recoup their money and then go spend $100 on GTA 6.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Yeah, I mean, that's a good call, right? I mean, I honestly forgot that marathon was coming out that exact same day. So it makes sense that they would try to push it up if they were already ready to go. Let's just push it up and get away from it. But I do hope in my heart of hearts that it is a GTA, that we're doing the big brain thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I think that was the beginning of the year when I was talking of like, hey, wherever Mafia lands and wherever Borderlands lands, we will be able to figure out somewhere around where GTA is coming out. October. Where's Mafia? I know it leaked, right? It was like August?

They could be making it happen. I don't know. That's just copium right there. I'm also of the negative Nancy mindset in my heart of hearts. That's like, we're never going to see this. We're not seeing this this year. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I want to see the fans. That's where I'm at. I think
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I think it's the branding of it all. Borderlands is Borderlands, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Calling it something else and getting cute with it didn't help any of it, and just the weird direction they were going with it worked for a lot of the niche Borderlands players, but people that are like... To me, Borderlands is one of those games that I could see somebody who has a PS5 that buys three games a year, maybe a sports game, maybe potentially a GTA, they could potentially be picking up this Borderlands game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
That's who Borderlands is for. Borderlands 2K is kind of a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I tried. It was the loudest theater. The loudest theater. Lanza literally had her fingers in her ears trying not to hear how loud this movie was. And you fell asleep. I love that for you. I'm a powerful sleeper.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
like i it fucked it fucked with my sleep like that's how good it was thunderbolts is so good that's how you actually review all your movies yeah if it wakes you up it's good yeah i like i caught the whole second half of that shit and that shit was fire yeah that's a great movie it's a great movie it's one of my favorite mcu movies probably top 10 probably top 10 wow um let me see if i can find some borderlands things in here because i know y'all riding it with them um let's see here you said about the guns you know i mean what type of guns
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
So many guns.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Come on, bro. Lock the fuck in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
And Tales from the Borderlands, too. We forget that happened. Oh, yeah, that did happen. We literally forgot that entire thing happened. The second one came out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
somebody forgot the usb um uh yeah yeah that's the randy pritchford of it all is weird because you could clearly tell the vibe of like he just very much wants to be the guy associated with this even though i'm assuming people the pr people like maybe not maybe not this time but he's like no i gotta be the guy that's doing the video that's telling everybody everything about borderlands right um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Yeah, I don't know. When it comes to Borderlands as a whole and as a franchise, I think we've realized that Borderlands is a franchise when it's 1, 2, 3, 4, right? You can't expand past that, right? I don't think there is a world where we can make a movie that's great and exciting that gets people energized to go to the theater.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
We can't make the Tales from the Borderlands anymore because Tales from the Borderlands was very much a very specific time and place when Telltale was on fucking fire.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
And they could have made anything and everything and we would have bought it and played it and been excited about it. Yeah, that just came at the right time. We can't do it again now. Borderlands 4, I think, is still going to be successful. It's still going to be good. People are going to like it. It's going to make millions and millions of dollars and be profitable.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
We just can't do another Tiny Tina's for a very, very long time. Probably if ever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Put the best five jokes you got in there. Focus mostly on gunplay. Focus mostly on the traversal and the new worlds and all the new loots. And just keep it simple. If the writing is really good, that's awesome. Save that for the full game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
You don't need, specifically in this state of play, any type of remotely cringe humor that someone can take out of context and post on Twitter and be like, look at fucking Borderlands. You know what I mean? Just focus on the gunplay. Focus on how cool everything is. And then put the game out and people will buy it. And put some really good dubstep in the trailer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
We still have lemonade, but we can figure out something there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
We've never had lunch together. We would never do that consistently.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
It's fucked up. I'm glad Mike noticed it too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Roger doesn't have lunch with me either, Mike. That's so true. It's really fucked up. That's something I do when you have extra fries. Yeah, when I have extra fries. I'm like the fry gummer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
That's the best days ever too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Yeah, especially from the taco truck cross street when you get a hot dog.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I was hosting that games
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
reaction is going off of what we talked about in March about the cancelled incubation project that actually I misspoke it was a Star Wars thing that they were working on and then they cancelled that and then they were trying to take the pieces of that and make that into something and then they cancelled that whatever they specifically Respawn is trying to find its identity in a third pillar
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
We have Apex, we have the Jedi stuff, and they're trying to find that other thing, and it's not working out. And I wonder what that could be, but I don't think they even know what it is. That's the pitfalls of creating something so massive as Apex Legends that was so huge, is still huge, but what's the next thing? It isn't growing anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
necessarily exactly it is stagnant and people even Ubisoft sees the blood in the water right like there was that report recently where they're like oh well Ubisoft sees that apex number apex legends numbers are kind of stagnant maybe we can come in with a battle royale sure it's not gonna work but yeah either way there is that energy of like apex was the thing and now it's kind of falling off a little bit
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
it. So how can we build this up, make it a new thing, or potentially find that third pillar? And that's what Respawn is struggling with right now. And it's such a weird thing, right? Because Respawn is such a successful side of EA. They have the Jedi games, which are not only critically successful, but financially successful. They do very, very well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
February. Jesus. Wow, I thought this game was way older than it was, but whatever. I mean, that's six years, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
yeah oh coming up on the decade then yeah um better half a decade so now we're trying to figure it out and it's it sucks that they are trying different things and it's not working out and that results in job losses and people being taken out of respawn and put into the iron man game and i i just want them to succeed and maybe good enough should be good enough i don't know is apex is apex having apex and then having the jedi games that should be enough for a studio but they're they're keep on trying to find that next thing yeah i don't know barrett what's up
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
You think they would just turn off the DualSense stuff. They're like, fuck you. They're like, no, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
yeah yeah it's it's it's tough right because i don't it doesn't seem like any of the incubation projects from what i've heard or what i've seen rather is single player right they are they're going fully for that multiplayer right they're trying to replace not replace but they're trying to find that other apex the next apex for the next apex right so they are they're fully focused on their single player endeavors on just jedi which is adorable and that makes a lot of sense and especially if you look at the pantheon of what ea is doing in terms of licensed stuff i mean they have iron man they're making that black panther game right like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
They're making a lot of licensed single-player IP video games. So trying to find that next Apex makes a lot of sense. But I don't know, man. I would much rather be interested. I think that's probably the direction they're going to go in, right, is probably going to do Apex 2 or Apex 2.0 or whatever they call it. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
rainbow six siege x you know whatever the sure the light sequel that they're going to end up doing here but it's going to be the same client the same game that is much more exciting to me as a lapsed apex player uh rather than seeing them kind of split their resources with a small team right here um and i'm seeing a little conflicting reports here because i said a hundred people but then i also saw that grub tweeted that the layoff sounded like they're about a thousand people so i don't know what's happening there i and also that like i think it's a typo
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
optimized on playstation and it works it is so fucking good man that makes me happy i i was going i was playing a little bit of oblivion right i have no uh any type of uh nostalgia for oblivion specifically i never played it never touch it never even watched like videos of it right so this is a new experience to me and it just feels like an old game and that's not negative because i know it's exactly what that is and it works for a lot of people just doesn't work for me right yeah but
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
But maybe the... I don't know who's the typo. Oh, you think iGen might be the typo? Maybe, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Yeah, it says about 100 people, so... Yeah, so I think that's a typo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Yeah, 315 from 2019 is what the Wikipedia arc is. So maybe it's larger than that now? I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
And I'm just so scared of Battlefield. Vincent Pella is splitting his time between Respawn and Battlefield. He's heading up the new Battlefield project and team.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
What is up, Blessing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I think it's different if you see one and it's like, oh, they're hiring for five different positions and they're all using... They need people with Unreal Engine 5 specifically in multiplayer experience. That's different. But like one role? Yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Of course, yeah. And then I booted up Skyrim. I'm like, oh, this is an old game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
platinum makes some of my favorite games but they also make some mmm they've been on a kind of a weird tear in the last few years I feel like they've lost a little bit of their identity but they got Ninja Gaiden 4 coming up sure but I mean if you look at the last 2017 Nier Automata then they had Astral Chain Wonderful 101 Remastered World of Demons I don't know what that is an iOS game Sol Cresta I forgot that one Babylon's Fall Bayonetta 3 Bayonetta Origins and then they have Ninja Gaiden 4
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Yeah, I think I would. I think I would. I would be like, what? No, but here's the thing. I was with Greg. 50-50 on Greg. Because Greg might absolutely know everything about Moomins. He might be locked in on the Moomin culture. He might know everything about it. I don't know what's going on. Or he would just immediately go, what the fuck's Moomins? And then we would be like, bear pulp Moomins.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Oh, yeah, dude. I don't know. Do you have any nostalgia for Skyrim? Because I totally do. Specifically, only the first 14 hours of that game. Yes. That's the thing. I think that's everybody, though.

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I love the written interviews because we all imagine that he's saying it's so straight face, but I've interviewed Sam like, I know he's laughing during this. I know he's like, oh, you know what actually Moomin's like? And he's like making a joke about it. I know it's like he's not actually fully serious about it, but maybe he is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Same. Yeah. At least five times I played the first 14 hours of Skyrim. And I don't think I know anybody in my life that said, oh, no, I've confidently finished that game.

Now we're getting to the hard territory. Super Meat Boy.

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Yeah, but that's also most games, though. Like, even, like, Spider-Man 1. Like, most people never even, like, get past, like, half the game. But I feel like the percentage.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Super Meat Boy doesn't get enough love. One of the guns. No, it really doesn't. Really? I feel like Super Meat Boy gets all the love. I just don't think, like, when we talk about, like, some of the great platformers, like, we just don't talk about that one. Really? I don't know. Like, it should be top five. Maybe. Top five? Think about it. I guess you don't love indie devs.

Yeah, for sure. Celeste. Oh, you're right.

I don't know what's happening.

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Game of the Generation. Get in the state of play tomorrow. How do you feel? Few things, right? We can talk about the release date type of whatever. I am interested to see just one, the reception of Borderlands 4 specifically, right? Because I think there's just a lot of negativity in the air of just like, oh, it looks like more Borderlands, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Which I think we were kind of all hoping a little bit of departure, but from hearing the writing team, hearing the Xavier Nelson,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Yeah, like hearing that, like the fact that they're consulting with new people on the writing side of things gets me excited. And also like hopping into a Borderlands game at launch for me with the crew at Kind of Funny gets me a little excited, right? I mean, crew at Kind of Funny is a broad term, with Craig. Being able to hop in with Greg.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
You think so?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Okay, we'll talk about this later. Including one in Japan. We're spoiling the episode that clearly does not have much going on. So we've got to wait a little bit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
i'm just trying to figure it out where does this lie no i like this i like this keep poking holes in this okay okay but just in general like if you're making a game that could be anywhere yes why the fuck we put in a swamp well it's it's the fact that i'm just sick of it because with swamp comes poison and with slow and slow that's the two things no no no i don't know slow no no no what about swamp with no no slow is there poison
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
All right. A little bit. No swamp. No swamp. What about just swamp with just nothing else? Just swamp. You're just walking around a swamp.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Okay. You just don't like the negatives attached to the swamp.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
We can figure that out. Yeah, we can.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Exactly. In Demon's Souls, they put the remake, they put like a little ring that you can attach where I think it makes you, you can walk through the swamps or whatever. So they kind of made it a little better.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
See, I don't like. See, here's the issue. I'm kind of a hater on all environments.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Underwater over-hated. Underwater over-hated. It depends on the... It's because of Mario 64 and all these fucking games that did it poorly. Everyone got all mad. Legend of Zelda, Ocarina, fucking... I'm saying a lot of games did it poorly back in the day, but then a lot of games have done it pretty okay recently. Yeah. Do I know any of those games off the top of my head? No.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Oh, yeah, sure. And a lot of them are, like, frictionless. And I mean that, like, literally and also as a joke, right? It's frictionless in terms of, like, I played through it and I'm like, I don't think about it, right? And that's good. Sure. And here's the thing.

Before this week, the highest the peak had ever reached on Steam was 10,489 back in January 2021, meaning the new record has nearly doubled that. The game also reappeared on the list of Steam's 25 top-selling titles, suggesting that the social media campaign has recruited new players as opposed to simply sparking a resurgence from existing ones.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Yeah. Have you been watching Star Wars Andor? No. Because the streets are fucking with it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Yeah, I think part of it is that, too. Like, I don't... Andor doesn't strike me... Andor strikes me as more of a critical darling than a commercial, like, everybody's watching...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
uh and or sort of thing but i wouldn't be surprised if there's like a snowball effect where of course um i don't know maybe streamers watched and or and then like started streaming battlefront game and then you see the audience like pick up alongside this campaign that's happening from the audience to get more people in either way good for y'all right like do you i are you somebody first of all how much battlefront did you play and then also do you think this leads into possibly a resurgence enough for us to get a battlefront 3
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
No.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Hell yeah. I was just telling you right before the show that this weekend almost got real close to booting up Final Fantasy X. You won't regret it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

The next five years, even.

Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
From the Disney side, Disney seems to always be down for Star Wars games, right? They always want that to be out in the ether. A few years ago, I put up a blessing show that was all about Star Wars video games and how there's a lineage, right? Star Wars is practically a video game franchise in a lot of ways when you look at all the different games that have come out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
We've had two different Battlefront series over the years come out, right? So I think... Disney is always looking for what's next for that and what makes sense for that. And then from the EA side, I think if there's money in it, I don't see why not.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I understand the thing of the last, I think, especially Battlefront 2, you had that rough beginning there with the microtransactions and the loot boxes, and I totally understand the idea of Disney being like, fuck that, we're not working with them anymore on this thing, this is trash. But I think the recovery has been so good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
You know, like, I think seeing these player numbers still resurge, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
It reminds me of seeing Skate 3 over time where streamers will play it and then, you know, their audiences will hop in and then you see those Skate 3 numbers sustain so much and then you see the audiences demand for Skate 3, like, month after month, year after year, to then finally EA's like, fine, we're gonna give you the next Skate game. We're gonna give you the Skate 4. I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
battlefront obviously like there's there's the audience that's hopping into to two i would be so fascinated to see if that turns into people being like yeah where's three yet like give us three like we want battlefront three and how much of that then can translate into ea and disney talking being like the numbers speak for themselves like we gotta give them what they want because do you
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
A question I'll ask you, right? What is the potential for the next Battlefield numbers versus the next Battlefront numbers? Is Battlefield a given that it's always going to sell more than a Battlefront or be more popular? No.

Story number three, the Nintendo Switch 2 sure seems to work just fine with a USB mouse. This is from Wes Davis at The Verge. You'll be able to use a USB mouse with the Nintendo Switch 2 in at least one game as a Koei Tecmo developer commentary video for the upcoming Nobunaga's Ambition Awakening Complete Edition revealed this week.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
That's great news if your wrists, like mine, started preemptively cramping the first time you saw a video of someone tipping a Joy-Con 2 controller on its edge for mouse mode. While demonstrating the game's use of the Joy-Con 2 as a mouse, producer Michiru stops and plugs in a USB mouse.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
The Switch 2 displays a message that says a mouse has been connected and he continues to play with both a mouse and his left Joy-Con 2, switching between them seamlessly. the same way you'll be able to go back and forth between gyro and mouse control in Metroid Prime 4 Beyond.

Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I was having a conversation yesterday about backlogs. Here's what it was. I had a conversation about backlogs, but then separately from that, I was listening to this new podcast called Post Games. Post Games. Okay, put me on. It's from Chris Plant, formerly of Polygon. Recently, he's independent. And he put up this podcast that he kind of describes as sort of like a magazine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
As Video Game Chronicles notes, the original Switch had mouse and keyboard support, though only some games took advantage, like the Night Dive-developed Turok port. So does the Nobunaga's Ambition video mean a standard mouse works interchangeably with a Joy-Con 2 controller anywhere where mouse control is supported? I sure hope so, but we don't know that yet. Oh, snap.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
How does that make you feel, Mike?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Well, they've tried to advertise it, because you can use it for Metroid Prime 4. It seems like a lot of games that have mouse-slash-keyboard support are probably going to have mouse and Joy-Con support. I think... For me, I do get excited about the idea of, like, the games that I might have done that with anyway. Because I was... Me and Tim got to go to New York.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
We got to go to the Switch 2 event. And for Metroid Prime 4, they had us play with mouse controls. And I thought it was cool. I didn't think it was ergonomic, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Yeah, and I didn't like it. I mean, it got the job done, and it was neat as far as, like, oh, wow, you guys really made this work. And, like, it's precise, you know, but... My hand just wasn't used to it. Of course. And I think over time, that's a thing that could work for people. That's a thing that people will get used to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
But if you give people the option to just plug a mouse in that thing and just play that way, I'd rather just do that. Give me a wireless mouse. We're in. Yeah. Let's do it. Okay. I mean, I'm interested in this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

It's like a magazine meets NPR style interview, but also news breakdowns. And it's a bit more polished, a bit more edited. And he put up the first episode this last week, and I listened to it. And it was all about... I'm going to butcher it, but I believe it's called the Seamus McNally Award from the Independent Game Awards that they do at GDC every year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Story number four. Expedition 33 has sold 3.3 million copies. This comes from a post from the devs over on Blue Sky. 33 days ago, we released Claire Obscure Expedition 33. Since then we've sold 3.3 million copies. Seriously, as of today, we couldn't make that up. Another entry on the long list of surreal moments that your support has made real. Thank you all. Come on.

I still would be interested to get the other version of the timeline where this didn't release concurrently with Oblivion. Because I think they're fine. And I think they're doing great, obviously. And I think in the same way that we talked about with Last of Us, the long-term numbers are going to speak. Of course. It's only going to go up all year. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Honestly, at the end of the day, I think they're going to attain the same sales numbers they would have done otherwise. But I do wonder how those week one sales would have shifted. Because I think they would have sold more. I think they would have to have sold more on week one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Yeah. When are you hopping in?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I think you'll fall in love with this game. I think July to August area makes sense. Because, like, also, I don't... July doesn't seem as stacked as I would have thought. If, like, at least... If you're not as into Nintendo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
And he's talking about the prestige of it and how usually that award lands in the hands of indie developers that are up and coming, but then end up essentially changing the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Again, you guys are all naming June games. I'm talking about July.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Okay, here's the thing, all right? July, for me at least, you got Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 plus 4. I'm going to knock that shit out in two days. You got Hunter x Hunter and then Impact. That game's... I'm thinking about playing that game. I'm not going to play it. I've never even heard of that game. It's a Hunter x Hunter fighting game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
It's whatever. And then Donkey Kong Bonanza on July 17th. It's the only reason why I bought a Switch, too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
And then that same July 17th, you got Shadow Labyrinth. Hey, bless you. Y'all, we tackling the backlogs in July. We tackling the backlogs in July. Okay, I love it. Yeah, you're going to play some Expedition 33. I'm excited. I'm really excited. Before we move on to story number five, I want to hop into some super chats because they've just been trickling in throughout the show.

The Frog Knight writes in and says, met my wall in Claire Obscure and his name is Simon. Oh, no. Met the wall. An obstacle in your way. I think I saw a video of Simon over the weekend. Okay. And them developers, they're going off. You don't know about Simon? I don't think I... Unless Simon's somebody different.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I think it's a side... Chat, correct me if I'm wrong. I believe Simon's a side thing. Yeah. And from the video I saw, his moves are fucking insane. Like, he's attacking you for, like, 30 seconds straight kind of thing, and you gotta parry every single move. Damn. I love shit like that. Good for them. I want to bring another one from Kabobs that says, would Mike play Age of Empires 2 on Switch?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Like if you make a Super Meat Boy or if you make a Fez or if you make an Outer Wilds, like those are the kind of games that end up with a Seamus McNally award, which then sent my brain down the rabbit hole of the indie games that I've wanted to play, but I just haven't got around to. I'm thinking of Return of the Obra Dinn. I've heard so many people talk about Return of the Obra Dinn.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I saw it on sale, and then I asked Blue Sky about it. I was like, should I do it? And then people were like, People were saying it hasn't aged well as far as controls and stuff, so I didn't do it. You know what I want to play on the backlog if we're going into it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
If you want to play Lost Planet 2 specifically with me, say the word. I'll hop in with you. Because that's the one I played and I have nostalgia for. Really? Oh, I played so much Lost Planet 2 back in the day.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
That's a game that I wouldn't be surprised if Capcom brought it back. Capcom is like a weird kind of company where they've been on such a win streak. And I think because they're on such a win streak, they're taking more swings. Like what was the game from last year that was like the real-time strategy slash action game? They had that. They had the – Kenitsugami. Kenitsugami Path of the Goddess.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Exo Primal. And then they had Exo Primal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good for you. They're taking – Maybe throwing things at the wall. They're throwing things at the wall. And I think Lost Planet is one of those games where if you modernize it, It'll feel like another Warhammer, the third-person shooter one. Space Marine 2. Space Marine 2, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I think you can place it in that sphere of game, and I could see an audience for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Let's help him out. Are you talking to Capcom specifically? Yeah, I'm talking to Capcom. I don't think Capcom even knows what Knockout City is. Need to call the Knockout City group because I want that game back. See, I called. Who published it originally? Was it EA? Was it an EA original?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Coming off of Outer Wilds, I'm like, I know I love this kind of game, but I never gave that one a shot. And so now I'm basically in the place where I'm like, you know what? I've been kind of anti-backlog for a while. I've not liked the idea of building up a mountain of games that I'm just never going to get to. But after that, and after having a conversation, I'm like, man...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Dellon Studios, I believe. Yep. I think EA should make the call and be like, yo. Bring them back. We got to bring you back. Knockout City 2. And we're going to lead this into an EA Sports Big revival.

Story number five, NetherRealm is on to their next game. This comes from a post from at Mortal Kombat on Twitter where they write, we're hearing players request for continued game support of Mortal Kombat 1. And while we will continue to support Mortal Kombat 1 through balance adjustments and fixes, there will not be additional DLC characters or story chapters released from this point on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
We understand this will be disappointing for fans, but our team at NetherRealm needs to shift focus to the next project in order to make it as great as we possibly can.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Yeah, I'm fascinated by what their next game is. And if we see them redefine a little bit. I think MK1, I'm with you that I enjoyed it when I played it for review, especially the single player mode. But I'm somebody, I would describe myself as, yeah, Mortal Kombat was my fighting game. And now it's not really anymore. Like, I'd rather play a Tekken.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I'd rather play a Street Fighter when you're talking about the modern iterations. And... I saw a lot of that sentiment from other people as well. Like a lot of the fighting game community seems to have left Mortal Kombat behind a little bit. I was surprised when I went to Evo and the Mortal Kombat section was so thin.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Like the amount of competitors competing for MK1 was so thin compared to Tekken, compared to Street Fighter, compared to even Guilty Gear and stuff like that. And I think that might be a sign that maybe people are getting a bit tired of what Mortal Kombat is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I think the game feel, I think there's a bit of a stiffness when it comes to modern Mortal Kombat that I think worked well when MK9 came out back in the day now, I guess PS3 generation, and they had that for three entries in a row. But I think we're starting to get to the point now where it's like, you might have to... how this feels a bit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Mike, I love stealth. I'm fucking dishonored. Metal Gear. Splinter Cell, I never got around to, though. I played Conviction. I played Conviction.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
You might have to, like, look towards some of these other fighting games to, like, make it feel a bit more smooth.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I mean, I think the games just feel better to play. And then also I think with Mortal Kombat, it might also just be a content issue of how do you support this game, right? Like, I saw people in chat, like, listing off, like, you know, monetized fatalities and things like that, right? Like, I think fighting games are...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
kind of tough as far as what that post-launch support looks like because times have evolved so much, and I think fighting games have kind of stayed the same. That's why I'm very fascinated for 2XKO being developed by Riot and being a free-to-play. I think they announced it as free-to-play, right? Like, I wonder how that shakes up the formula.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Multiverses, we saw, came out and was free-to-play, and that's already been, like, not canceled, but it's done, right? It's been finished. And I don't believe you can play multiverses anymore, right? Like, I think... somebody's going to have to figure out what the modern mold for that looks like. I think for Mortal Kombat, or for NetherRealm, I think a switch to Injustice would benefit them a lot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
You had two back-to-back Mortal Kombat games for the first time in a while with MK11 going into MK1, and I think that might have been a lot for people. You didn't have that swerve to Injustice kind of give you that palate cleanser. So I think that alone will do a lot, especially going into the DCU. If you can...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
you know, give us like those maybe interpretations of what those characters look like, you know, maybe lean into that slate of what the DCU Batman or Superman is, what the other characters are being introduced in those films. Maybe that gives you a level of freshness to then when you return to Mortal Kombat, you might be able to make it a bit, I don't know, faster in gameplay, maybe fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I don't want them... Here's my thing. I think the question is tough, because I don't want them to look at Street Fighter and go, oh, let's just do that. Because I don't think that's the answer. I don't think the answer is to look at Tekken and go, let's do that. Because that's... those games sort of have that space down, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
When you're talking about 2D fighters, it is Street Fighter, it is Guilty Gear, and what Arc System Works do with those games. I think NetherRealm has had this special thing of, you know, being unique and being kind of one of a kind, but they've just given us a lot of that, a lot of what they do.

I think you have to stick with the two, unfortunately, because that's how WB operates. They're all about the IP. Unless you want to make a Harry Potter fighting game or some shit, right? Is there other IP under WB that makes sense to do a fighting game with? Maybe that's the thing. But I do think that there's probably a demand for Injustice.

maybe but also like is NetherRealm the studio to do it or do you look at one of your other studios or like look at a third party studio to make a Mortal Kombat single player thing I think that would be fascinating I don't I don't know if it's a good idea like if I'm being honest but I think it's a really interesting one that you could if you nail it you could really nail it because the thing

that I like most about Mortal Kombat still, and this is even compared to other fighting games, is that I think the world of Mortal Kombat is still really cool. And it has a lot of... You have a lot of characters. You have a lot of lore. And I think that stuff is more approachable, accessible, and a lot of times more interesting than a lot of other fighting games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Like, I'm sure if I dig deep into the lore of... Tekken... Tekken's probably not even a great example. Like, Street Fighter or, like, Guilty Gear might be a better example. I'm sure if I dig deep into the lore, there's probably really, really good shit there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
But Mortal Kombat's world and story and shit is just, like... There's something about it that just hits... That's why we've had so many Mortal Kombat movies. That's why we're still... That's why they're about to get Mortal Kombat 2 coming up in, what, a year or so? Yeah, yeah. Like... There's something about those characters that really work, and I think that translates, too.

They did do that with Mortal Kombat 11. They put out Mortal Kombat Aftermath. which kind of gave you more of the resolution to that story and added some extra chapters and then led it into Mortal Kombat 1.

Story number one. The Last of Us Season 2's finale viewership is down 55% from Season 1. This is Adam Chitwood at The Wrap.

That's down 55% from the season one finale, which scored 8.2 million cross-platform viewers, then an impressive feat given that it aired opposite the Oscars. Season two premiered to 5.3 million cross-platform viewers.

HBO cautions that The Last of Us Season 2 finale viewership is expected to grow due to low tune-ins on the holiday weekend and stressed that the franchise overall has seen 90 million viewers since Season 1 ended. Season 2 is tallying nearly 37 million global viewers per episode. The show has already been renewed for Season 3.

Have you been watching season two of The Last of Us?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Yeah. Season two is like, it's been such a weird season of TV. I went on a rant about this last week with Greg when we were talking about the Elden Ring movie. And I was just talking about video game adaptations in general and how I prefer something like the fallout TV show that takes an entirely new story and injects it into the fallout world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Cause for me, I'm like, that's more interesting than watching a story get rehashed. Right. I've played last of us. I've replayed the last of us. Uh, granted, I don't think I've not replayed the last was too in particular, but, um, I've experienced the story before. And so now I'm watching it through a new, a new,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
frame of lens right like new new actors portraying these characters you know new interpretations all that stuff which on one hand i think is really cool because at times i really like seeing what they do with it i think episode i believe it was episode six right which was i don't want to spoil anything but the episode from a week ago was such a good episode of tv where i am like damn y'all took took something from the game and really uplifted it and like made it
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
feel like it's driving the season forward. Like I really liked how they colored in those characters of Joel and Ellie in the TV show. I didn't love this finale. I was actually surprised by how I came out of it. Cause I think for me, one of the, One of the tough things this season, and this is a thing that they have to do in the game as well, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Losing Pedro Pascal's Joel partway through the season makes it a thing of, all right, now we got to really lean on Ellie and Dina to really carry the season forward. And I think the actors do a great job. I think the writing oftentimes kind of lets it down. Oh, no. Specifically like the writing for Ellie, where it is like such a departure from the game, which in itself isn't a crime.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
But when I am like watching Ellie, I'm getting frustrated at certain choices she's making. Cause I'm like, ah, this doesn't feel like this doesn't feel as calculated as I feel like it should be. Ah, this doesn't feel, I'm getting frustrated watching the character make certain decisions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Cause it feels like I'm still watching a 14 year old Ellie as opposed to like a more like battle ready, battle hardened, like a bit more grown up Ellie. But yeah, I don't know. I've seen a lot of mixed reactions from all over the place of the internet, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
Like, of course there's the crew of people that it's like, okay, you guys were never going to like the show, but then even on the more critical side, right? Like I've seen critics kind of go in on it quite a bit. And I've seen like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
the other side of people who also very much enjoy it for what it is right it's still quality it's still hbo it's still like i think a very enjoyable watch but i wouldn't be surprised if you saw that dip um a little bit because people might just be falling off a little okay i mean one number i want to highlight the franchise overall has seen 90 million views right like that's a
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
yeah I don't think they're looking at this and they're like oh shit we fucked I don't think I don't think yeah I don't think HBO is like upset with these numbers especially because these numbers are gonna grow with time right like I do think I do think Memorial Weekend also has a factor to play in this right like I do think you're gonna see those numbers grow um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I also think it's just one of those things where, I don't know, man. I think season one hit so well because The Last of Us 1 game is also just very good. They nailed it with season one, in my opinion. The Bill and Frank episode was so special. The lead-in to that finale, I think, was so special.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
I think there's also just the thing here where you're getting half a story, which doesn't really do this as much justice as far as...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Last of Us Season 2 Finale Viewership Disappoints - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.27.25
the ramping up of oh I need to watch the finale because the finale is about to pop off I think you miss out on that feeling you miss out on that like swell up of audience that gets excited for something like that when you know that alright well next week this upcoming episode is the last episode of the season but it doesn't feel like it's the last episode of the season I think that yeah still got more to go

What are you bringing to these?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24
I know we all played in 2015. What are the RPGs that I would want them to take inspiration from and take different mechanics from? Give me three. I would start off with Elden Ring with boss fights, which is known for having iconic characters, very interesting and scary monsters, great stories leading up to them. I would like to see an elevation and maybe like some cooler mini bosses.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24
I don't need over the top crazy bosses like Elden Ring, but I would like some combat scenarios where it feels like I'm in an arena and I'm really fighting a tough, difficult boss here. I like that. And it's got to have some Dodds and Perrys on that one. I would start with that. I guess that's combat-wise is what I'm looking for to drive that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24
Yeah, we just looked at Path of Exile 2 and that insane passive skill tree. That's just a universe of stars, and it's like, okay, that's overboard. But yeah, how do you deepen that and really make my Witcher a little bit different than yours? But we're all pretty close, but also I have a lot more freedom, I guess, in the choice of what I want some of those things to be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24
I do love the hunts. I really, I remember running around following that Griffin in the beginning. Of course, I think a lot of people will remember that. I'm just like, how do you elevate that and a little bit more make that fun, right? You were looking for clues on the ground and you'd stop and look at the blood and then you'd keep following the track. You think a monster hunter and what that is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24
Do you somehow blend that to make that hunt a little more grand? And how do you make that more fun with the mechanics of instead of just walking up and inspecting a leaf with some blood on and then him walking to the next one? How do you make that more fun and engaging? I don't know. But, yeah, I'd like that because, yeah, there's going to be dope hunts in this. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24
I like that, Bless. I like that a lot. Yeah, it's some fun stuff. It'll be interesting to see the magic. You know, I think of how that combat was, and then now I think of games like Final Fantasy that uses that very close of like, you're hacking and slashing, then you slow things down to do a quick spell, and then you come back out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24
There was a lot of that, and so how do I blend that a little bit better? Do I make it more active, or do I continue that of like, hack and slash, slow it down, and then we fight again? I don't know how I want that better. I just think of that as, like, a big standout in my mind. Were there companions? There were companions, right, in The Witcher 3?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24
Also, maybe turn down the screaming every single time. Whenever you'd start to fight people, remember that? The music would set in all the time. Oh. And you'd just constantly be riding your horse, and it would scream with the music, and then it would come back down, then it would scream with the music, come back down. We can figure that out. I don't remember that. We can work on that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24
Really exciting to see the grand open world and how you elevate that now in 2024 and beyond, right? Of like, what is the color palette there? What is the cool points of interest? I always loved the crazy points of interest, how you would show up and see a cool statue or a crazy dungeon. What is that going to look like? How do we elevate that open world?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24

I mean, another big congratulations on keeping that collaboration going and giving us more of that world. I think you brought it up earlier when we talked about The Witcher, but you talk about cyberpunk. That's a world that everyone wants to get lost. And that has the hype and the juice and the excitement all around. So I love that. More animation is always cool, especially with cyberpunk.

The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24
I was going to ask you, because we talked about Final Fantasy DLC last week, me and Greg, where we were talking about, oh, do you just move on? Is that single-player DLC worth it, taking the time and the resources to make that, to get the sales? Is that sales going to be enough? $8 million, pretty impressive there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24
I think it shows you that Solo deal or single player DLC can work. It definitely depends on the franchise, the game itself, those sales numbers as you brought up. There's got to be the right concoction for it to be worth it. But very impressive, especially after Cyberpunk Cyberpunk's launch. Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4 is in Full Production - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.26.24
To think of the road to get the Phantom Liberty and then to have that come out and have the juice to get eight million. That's impressive stuff.

And also, can we look at the combat, right? Do we love the combat? How do we change this up? Maybe looking at other franchises that's done similar combat with the kind of slowdown, move into the magic, and then come back into real-time combat with the sword slashing. How do we blend that a little bit smoother? I would like to see, but I think it's going to be a fun time. Yeah.

Yes. I think... For sure, we have to see what some of that stuff looks like. I am concerned that it's not going to be the best news, right? Like, I wonder what, like, Nintendo caveat is going to come with it of, all right, you can get, you know, games being boosted by buying... You have to be a member of Nintendo Online or whatever. Yes, you have to be a member of Nintendo Switch Online.

online or you have to buy another version of it. You have to spend money in some way. I don't think it's just going to work out the box in the dream way that we want it to. That said, yes, I think for sure we're going to see something like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Nintendo Switch 2 Launches June - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.25.25
This goes back to like a year and a half ago, I guess almost two years ago of when we first started hearing about Nintendo showing members of, I think other members of the press, or no, I think it was more so devs. They're showing off like Switch 2 kits that were running Breath of the Wild in like a better...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Nintendo Switch 2 Launches June - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.25.25
I forget if it was better fidelity or what it was, but they're essentially seeing a boosted version of breath of wild. I think when you're leading off of that, when showing it off to people behind closed doors, I think there's still, there's something that's gotta be there as far as if you can do this off the hardware, then why wouldn't you do it in a commercial way?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Nintendo Switch 2 Launches June - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.25.25
120 FPS. Some themes, finally. But yeah, I think... What sucks is that I feel like the easiest answer is Nintendo Switch Online for giving that to people. Because when you think about that, I imagine these are going to be updates that are pushed to the game. I don't imagine that on the hardware level, they're going to automatically have these games scale up or have these games boosted.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Nintendo Switch 2 Launches June - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.25.25
I'll think that these are going to be updates that are going to be pushed, which on the Nintendo first party side, you do have control over because... Guess what? The bulk of the games that people really care about on the system are Nintendo games. You can have third parties do it if they want to, but yeah, if you're able to advertise, hey, if you have Nintendo Switch Online, you can get

60 fps or whatever like buzz terms i'm sure they'll find a nintendo term for it but you you are gonna get boosted games uh and it's gonna be all like this list of nintendo games that you care about right it's gonna be breath of the wild tears mario odyssey maybe mario golf you're gonna

yeah i mean i i think on me for some it'll take longer than others especially for games that aren't in development for like a switch one right like if i'm somebody if i'm the first berserker kazan devs and i get nintendo switch dev kit not that like maybe i don't know uh if i get that dev kit am i looking at that as like okay cool we'll knock this out in three months no like we're gonna take a while to be able to make a nintendo switch 2 version of this game what's up barrett

And that makes sense. And to that, I would even say that. Do I care as Nintendo? Right? Like, people are buying my console to play Mario and Zelda. And more people will come through for, yeah, those third-party games or the indie games or whatever it's going to be. But I think for that first foot forward, as Nintendo, I'm locked in on, hey, let's have a successful first-party launch.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Nintendo Switch 2 Launches June - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.25.25
Are you a smash person? Oh yeah. Oh man. What is, okay. So let's start with that then. What's your wishlist for smash six?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Nintendo Switch 2 Launches June - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.25.25
Yeah, like you said, you could, I guess, maybe just remaster it. But if we're talking about what we just talked about with the boosting stuff, if an update that is pushed that makes this game run the best that it can run already on the Switch 2, what does remastering it even mean at that point? I'll just play the version that you already put out with the update and be happy with it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Nintendo Switch 2 Launches June - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.25.25
I do think in the world where that happens... you should re-market Smash. My question then becomes, how do you bring Smash back into the conversation in a way that makes people look at it like it is this generation of Smash?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Nintendo Switch 2 Launches June - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.25.25
I think my wishlist then ends up being, you do what you did for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which is you do those wave packs of, hey, this game's been out, but we're releasing new tracks. We're releasing new DLC. If you did that with Smash Ultimate, already, not that the game is bloated, but the game is full. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Nintendo Switch 2 Launches June - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.25.25
exactly it feels like the game is filled to the brim i guess if you wanted to add in six new characters i'm all i'm not i'm always down for it i don't need it but i'm always down for it um or if you do that with maps as well um as far as characters yeah waluigi that'd be fucking say no gino i mean uh super mario rpg had a big moment what year and a half ago or whatever like yep bring gino there some more third parties maybe delete like some fireman characters just for fun just get them out of there just piss

That's the tough thing is, yeah, you have two options. Either you look at Ultimate and go, all right, let's make this even more Ultimate somehow. Or we go the very opposite direction of pare down and really redefine what Smash is. And if you go in that direction, I want them to bring back Subspace Emissary in some regard.

sure if we can have a smaller roster but then do a story mode that is this big crossover that is this cool thing like i i know people have their critiques fairly so with subspace i think on the cut scene level that shit was fucking fire yeah oh yeah seeing like diddy kong beat up rayquaza or whatever pikachu team up with samus like that shit was so hyped me if we can figure that out and also make the gameplay fun as well then i think we got something that could be really special to people

That does a good job of planting that fantasy RPG flag in the ground. I think Fable, in terms of what you slated out as Xbox, might actually really help you to bolster your 2026, because this year alone, you had a Valid, right? You have Doom, the Dark Ages coming up. You have slated, even though I think it'll get delayed anyway, but you have Outer Worlds 2 coming out, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
So you do think Outer Worlds 2 will get delayed? Yeah. I mean, I'll believe it when I see it. I think... For some reason it gives me the vibes of like, there's no way this is coming out this year. It feels just too soon. But I would love to be proven wrong, because I fucking love Outer Worlds 2. And I think it coming out this fall would actually be great for the pacing of Xbox.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Because yeah, having Avowed out February, having Outer Worlds 2 out later in the fall, and then having Fable out the year after, I think that is excellent timing on all those things. But yeah, I think right now you're in such a good place as far as consistent releases as Xbox, that you don't want to Yeah, like you... And good consistent releases, you know? Yeah, good consistent releases.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I don't think you want those things on top of each other, and I also think you want these things to come out the best they possibly can. And so if Fable's gonna be better by you delaying it, delay the fuck out of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Wenn wir über Xbox Slate im Jahr 2026 sprechen, denke ich realistisch darüber nach. Sind wir über Gears of War E-Day im Jahr 2026? Oder Perfect Dark im Jahr 2026?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Holy shit. I don't know if that's too soon for Perfect Dark. That game has been in gestation for a very long time. We saw gameplay.

Paris has... I mean, somebody mentioned Clockwork Revolution.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
So I think it really, I think it does come down to what are the games that you have ready for 2026 that are actually going to release and how can you slot Fable into that in the way that's going to do, that's going to give it I think the best possible outcome of how it performs, how it does. My other question is where do we put Fable as far as the hierarchy of this needs to be a banger for Xbox?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Because I feel like When we're tearing things out, you have something that is of utmost importance. I would think something that is like Starfield level of, man, we want to make sure that this is our biggest release and it's great and it's all these things. Is Fable one of those? Or is Fable, do you compare that more to it about, or is it somewhere in between?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Ich habe ein paar Anaperna-Demos gedownloadet, weil ich den Presse-Release bekommen habe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Und ich dachte mir, oh, das sind Spiele, die mir sehr gut gefallen. Also habe ich die Demos gedownloadet, glaube ich, zu Tee, Willworld. Was ist der andere? Wanderstop.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Von diesen Trailer und von dem, wie hoch die Leute Fable halten, denke ich, dass die Leute Fable suchen, um das nächste große AAA zu sein. Es wird ein Gott des Krieges-Levels für Xbox sein. Und ich frage die Frage, weil ich fühle, dass die Trend so weit mit einigen Xbox-First Parties ist, hey, mach, was du machen willst. Wir erwarten nicht, dass das... shift the earth, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
We got Call of Duty for that. We got Call of Duty for sales. Right now, what we want is to get those consistent Game Pass subs and to have games that are actually consistently coming out. And like some of them are going to be, I think, varying levels of big, vast or varying levels of, I guess like, you know, something that's going to speak to everyone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I look at the last few Xbox games that have come out, Avowed, great game, but that speaks to a particular audience. Indiana Jones, great game, but I think that speaks to, I don't look at that as Uncharted 4 necessarily. I see that as a great game that speaks to an audience. Hellblade 2, speaks to an audience, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I go down the list of Xbox games and I feel like the strategy hasn't necessarily been to, we're going to make something that's going to shift the world. We're trying to make games that these developers, we're trying to allow our developers to make games for their audiences that we know are going to do good and we know that people are going to like.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
And I wonder if Fable is going to be more so in the conversation of one of those as far as, oh, this is a thing that's made for the Fable audience, but we're not making this necessarily to break out of that wider ecosystem and like be like the talk of the year, as far as like Game of the Year awards and all that stuff. I hope I'm wrong. And I'm not, this is even a prediction.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I guess this is more so just speculation on how does Xbox view Fable. I hope it comes out and I hope it's a banger because I think people are looking to this one in a higher regard as all these other games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Ja, es gibt eine Demo für das auch. Ich habe sie gedownloadet. Ich habe sie noch nicht gebooted. Okay. Was hast du bekommen? Was hast du gedownloadet? Was hast du gespielt?

I want to bring in a couple of superchats about Fable. Volk Dasher writes in and says, I cannot wait for Fable, but that Alpha gameplay, oh god, it scrolled. It said, for some reason it's frozen. I'm sorry, Volk Dasher.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
It's frozen. Do you have the superchats up? I'm going to try to read them. Oh, here we go, it scrolled finally. But the Alpha gameplay looks like Hogwarts Legacy, lol. Which is great, because I loved Hogwarts, but yeah, excited to see more. I mean, I will say, if there's anything you can say about Hogwarts Legacy, I think it presented well. I think that game looks good.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
A big piece of James Gunn's DC efforts revolve around a cohesive universe across film, TV and gaming, which hasn't really been done before. James Gunn hat noch keine Spezifiken auf das, was das so aussehen könnte, obwohl es mehr Spiele bedeutet, die die Geschichte aus den Filmen weitergeben oder parallel laufen, anstatt sie zu erzählen, wie ein Film-Tie-In-Game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Aber es klingt, als ob Dinge jetzt wirklich in Bewegung sind. James Gunn und Peter Safran sprachen in der Presse über ein letztes D.C. Studios-Event, das Comic-Book beantragt hat und ein bisschen Licht auf das, wie Dinge im Gaming-Sektor funktionieren.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
The two confirmed that they've met with Injustice-Developer NetherRealm and Batman Arkham-Developer Rocksteady about future DC projects and how they consult on these different games. Quote, We work incredibly close with JB Perret, who runs that division, said Safran. Quote, It's really the first time it's ever been done this way at Warner Brothers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
James and I sit with the guys that run the studios under JB, whether it's NetherRealm or Rocksteady. We sit with them and we talk about characters and stories that we're interested in and that they're interested in. End quote. Quote, We see designs for the projects in their very earliest stages, said Gunn.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
We talk about those, we talk about what the story might be, and we'll say, well, you maybe, we say, well, you maybe, you want to go this way, because we're planning on maybe doing something with this character, end quote. As for when we'll actually begin to see what the video games in the DCU look like, Gunn confirmed that it will be a couple years from now. Andy. James Gunn.

Exactly. See, this is where I'm at, right? I'm rock steady. I'm rock steady.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
That's just too long. Video Games are such a tumultuous medium of, we don't know when this shit's coming out. James Gunn, you can knock out a movie in a year and a half. You can put out a movie at such a quick rate and you have plans and you have the dream, James Gunn. I believe that you can make that dream happen. In Filmen. Videospiele sind so seltsam und anders. Volatil. Volatil.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Und deine Pläne werden sich verändern, wenn du in die Filme gehst. Aber es wird nicht so einfach sein, den Schiff auf der Videospielseite zu schieben. Und das, was ich mit dem Thema faszinierend finde, ist, okay, du gehst in Rocksteady, du sprichst mit ihnen darüber und versuchst zu koordinieren. Okay, was machen wir? Was machen wir? Was machen wir? Was machen wir?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
What does that conversation look like with Netherrealm? Because I imagine that means that Netherrealm is probably working on the next injustice, you imagine. And does that mean that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
you know, you're giving recommendations, or like you're, I guess, you're giving communication about, hey, these are the characters we're going to be focusing on in the DC, so maybe you might want to put some of these characters in your game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Yeah, maybe do a reference to the fact that these make a lot of egg sandwiches in your game. That I kind of get, and that I'm honestly like, alright, I can see it. The thing where I get nervous about is like, if it gets even deeply, if it gets even deeper integrated than that of, hey, Use our Batman. We don't want you to use your Batman. Use our Batman.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Because we want to really push this Batman is the Batman. I don't think it will go that far, but if it does, then this shit is cooked.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I want Easter eggs. If you want to make a reference to this Batman thing is happening right now. So we made a reference to a character or a reference to the egg sandwich. Throw all the egg sandwiches in this bitch. Maybe let's not go too much further than the egg sandwiches.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
We are making a game about that Superman that just or even like, oh, you can't use this Poison Ivy because we're using Poison Ivy in the movie and she is tied up with the thing. And so like now the pool of characters gets kind of like weird of OK, but you can use. Was ist sein Name? Dr. Freeze? Mr. Freeze? Mr. Doctor? What is his name? Freeze PhD? Freeze Man. What's his name? Is it Mr. Freeze?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25

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

Yeah, 20k. Thank you, Greg. Again, not to read into this too much, but I do wonder if this is going to be like a thing that drops on March 4th. Because something about just the promotion of it, like Tony Hawk standing in front of the thing that says March 4th, 2025, like of course a big announcement to get a Tony Hawk game, right? If it is going to be 3 plus 4.

You do look at me as the Tony Hawk guy, for sure. At least number two after Tim. Story number four. Silent Hill 2 Remake Dev is working with Konami once again on a mystery game. This is Eddie McCook at GameSpot. Rocket Knight Adventure. Nice. Bomberman. Endquote. It was also confirmed that Konami will be the publisher and rights holder to the game, whatever it might be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
This makes sense, of course, given that the game is based on a Konami IP. I mean, I think the easy answer might be more Silent Hill, but like the way they're talking about it makes me think it's a different IP. Nah, it's gotta be Silent Hill.

Story number five. Quantic Dream says it's unaffected by NetEase layoffs and studio closures. This is Tom Ivan at BGC. Quantic Dream has become the second NetEase studio to release a statement this week confirming that it's not been impacted by recent cuts to the Chinese company's overseas games business.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Yeah, we're gonna cover this. Yeah. Because this is a headline. This is one that needs to be a full book of a show to talk about. But that's fucking insane. Of course, our hearts go out to people that are laid off, that are losing their jobs. And also, it fucking sucks to lose a project that you've been working on for a while.

Holy shit. Andy, we gotta have a big conversation about that. But sadly, we don't have the time right now at the end of this episode happening live. But if I want something smaller, say the tiniest news I need to know about, where would I go? You would go to the We News...

Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
So, that's the story. More wee news for you from Eurogamer. Activision has confirmed some in-game content in Call of Duty has been created using generative AI. As spotted by Call of Duty account Charlie Intel, the Steam page for the game's launcher incorporating Black Ops 6, Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone has been updated with a new AI notice as per the rules of Steam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Quote, our team uses generative AI tools to help develop some in-game assets, it reads. No further details are specified, but fans are already speculating where AI has been used. Quote, we could tell, LMAO, this loading screen had six fingers, reads one reply. Fuck, man. Oh man, we're cooked. We're cooked. That's like the story of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I was thinking about this this morning of the conversation we had about generative AI and like the more I thought about it, the more I started to get to the doom and gloom place of Es gibt keine Verschaffung. Das muss in die schlechteste Position kommen, bevor es besser wird.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Wir werden monumentale Verletzungen in der Video-Games-Bereiche von generativen AI sehen, bevor Unternehmen sagen, wir sollten das nicht tun. Aber bis dahin ist jede große Technologie-Familie auf 1000% mit AI beteiligt. Und es tut weh, weil wir jetzt in der Position sind, in der wir den Sturm wechseln müssen. Und es tut weh, aber ja, das wird mehr und mehr passieren.

Sun Lee writes in and says, good morning, blessed Andy. Paying my birthday tax for the 27th on February 27th. Thank you guys for making my days easier. Also blessed, please try The Bazaar. Perfect game for you as a MTG slash roguelite sicko. I've had other people tell me about The Bazaar. I gotta look more into it. I'm not sure exactly what it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I've seen screenshots of it and I'm like, oh, this looks different, but you're not the first person to tell me to try the Bazaar. It's on my radar. Never heard of it. Guitar Hero Arrow writes in and says, Reports said future Xbox games missing PS5 at launch is because it was too late in the dev cycle. Could this delay be in part to have a PS5 port at launch? There's absolutely nothing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Talk about Fable. Absolutely no way. I don't think they would delay Fable to launch day and date on PS5. That's crazy. Don't give me that look. It's crazy. That's nuts. No way Phil Spencer would do such a thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
At that point, I don't know. I just can't, like, it's weird.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I know we've been talking about how much the strategy for Xbox has changed, but, like, to change to such an extent, to be like, oh, now we gotta launch Day & Date on PS5, so we're gonna delay our biggest game right now? Nah, man. Well, I don't think that's why the delay happened, for sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Oh, yeah. No, I think it's possible for it to launch day to day on PS5. I just think delaying it to launch day to day on PS5 is crazy.

Kev, ich weiß, dass wir eine andere Sache benutzen, wie ein neues Chat-System. Es pausierte random, ich glaube, vor 10 Minuten. Ja, es bleibt auf dem Pausen. Ja, ich weiß nicht, was mit dem geht. Ich weiß nicht, warum.

Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I unpaused it. Hold on, let me do it again. It says 305 new messages. It keeps on pausing. I was like, oh, chat's not talking, and then I realized. They're piling up, chat. Sorry. I'm giving one last look to Superchats, seeing if there's anything.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Okay, yeah, I think we're good on Super Chats. I'll read this last one from Volkdash. He says, as a third-party publisher, Fable has been in dev for six to eight years. Expensive dev and a restart in dev. This not only decides the future of the franchise, but could have scary implications for Playground.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Playground, Xbox, I don't want to speak out of turn, because of course there have been plenty of fucking studio closures and shit that have happened that feel unwarranted. If Xbox were to close Playground for any reason in the next couple of years, then that means that shit is just on fire and Xbox is burning down.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
Because Playground are the ones giving you Forza Horizon 5, or Forza Horizon series, which is a very consistent guaranteed success for Xbox every time it comes out. So I wouldn't worry about Playground, but also, Like, you know, industry up in flames, so who knows?

Oh, dude, I played that too. We got a code early before they even announced the game. I was like, hey, there's a new game coming from the developers of My Friend Pedro, which is a game that... I remember looking forward to My Friend Pedro, because it was a cool-ass 2D action game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
I played it a bit, and I was like, okay, I love the energy of this game, but also, I don't know if it's blowing my skirt up. This isn't necessarily my favorite game ever, just because the year we got My Friend Pedro, I think we'd gotten a lot of those types of action games. But I played a little bit of Shotgun Cop Man, and... Let me tell you, this game is fucking awesome. It is you with a shotgun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fable Has Been Delayed to 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.25.25
You're a little 2D guy, right? You're a cop. And you are using your shotgun essentially to like gain momentum. And so if you shoot it, if you shoot your shotgun.
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. It's how you like dash left and right in the air. And so you are essentially like trying to manage killing the enemies around you. Denkt daran, wie ein Hotline Miami geht. Du schießt um dich herum nach links und rechts und springst in die Luft, aber du versuchst auch, schlechte Leute auszuhalten. Es ist nicht nur ein Schotten, du hast auch Pistolen und andere Waffen.

Es ist wirklich so, aber auch das funktioniert für mich so gut, wo mein Gehirn auf die Sache eingeladen wurde, auch wenn es eine Herausforderung ist. Okay, cool, ja, ich will nach rechts gehen, ich werde nach links schießen. Aber für irgendeinen Grund hat mein Gehirn es geklopft und ich fand mich, es fühlte sich an, als wäre ich John Wick an einem Punkt. So wie, wie, wie, wie, wie, wie.

Well, I know that's not maybe the news people want to hear. What I want to assure people of is that it's definitely worth the wait. End quote. Accompanying the news of the delay, Microsoft shared some new Fable pre-Alpha gameplay. Quote, I have unequivocal confidence in the playground team, Duncan continued.

Wenn man sich die Geschichte und das Legacy von Forza Horizon anschaut, die letzten zwei Spiele, kritisch erwähnt, 92 Metacritic, gewonnen, wunderschön, gut gespielt und genau das, was sie zu Fable als Franchise bringen.

Denk einfach an die Visuals, die du von Playground Games erwartest, plus tolle Spiele, britischer Humor, Playgrounds Version von Albion, so inspiriert von dem, was mit der Franchise vorgegangen ist.

But like how much of a cut do you think, like, let's talk about Elden Ring, right? Man, I wish those, I don't think the stats are out there, because I don't think they announce it in the way of sales per platform, but if you were to,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
If you were to guess, Tim, how many copies of Elden Ring, if we're talking about 25 million overall, how many copies do you think sold on PlayStation versus PC versus Xbox?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Which is kind of where I'm driving at. This is how much those Xbox sales really matter, right? If it is, you are selling, let's say, 15 million copies on a PlayStation. A year later, you sell five million copies on a PC, right? And like, all those last five million copies you could have sold on Xbox, but like, all right, we're gonna say goodbye to five million copies.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
We still sold 20 million, and also, we're selling the PlayStation console and the PlayStation ecosystem to a lot more people. Those are just numbers I'm throwing out there, and the ratio might be way off. But as far as I understand, when you're talking about games that are selling right now on the consoles, PlayStation seemingly, I would imagine, is the biggest piece of the pie by far.

And there's also the question, the conversation of if Sony does acquire Katakawa, does FromSoftware, are they naturally brought into PlayStation Studios or does that even become a conversation? In the same way that when they acquired Bungie, there was a little bit of separation between church and state a little bit. Bungie was still making third-party stuff.

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah, we ain't doing this shit anymore I wonder if at first like if there's swear to go through I wonder if we get it started off to where from software still exists as its own and see within Sony But they're not PlayStation Studios, so I don't see I don't think that ever happens again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
you don't think i do the bungee thing was a uh... no matter what is inevitable that that from suffered gets brought under places videos and you playstation was that badly where you think that this happens this deal actually goes through and that it all happens that we think it's not i'm saying that if that if it is still have a hundred percent all over there i don't think that if this feels likely
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I want to bring in some Super Chats regarding this. I'm sorry, it was Street Shadow that says, not sure if you brought this up, but I think there was news of Katakawa is at risk of having a hostile takeover from a South Korean company and they want to remain Japanese. And then there's also another one from Sharp Rai who writes in and says, we have to remember this isn't just about games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Katakawa is like three Infinity Stones for greater Sony. FromSoft is kind of a small bonus. So... coming into this of does this actually happen i don't this is me speaking as somebody who i do not i'm katakawa is not a company that i've been paying close to get into it was like you know how their their business operations so yeah like a hostage over maybe happening from a suffering company
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Not sure about that. I can't speak on that. Like, maybe that has a big impact on, you know, if or does this happen. I do think that this is such a deal for Sony, and I'm sure PlayStation, like, the higher-ups at PlayStation have been talking with the other higher-ups at Sony as far as, like, yo, we want FromSoftware. I'm sure they're looking back and they're like, yeah, we also want that anime.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
The anime and manga stuff, the entertainment stuff that they're doing over there. I think that there is a united front at Sony that's like, we gotta make this happen because they're such a perfect fit, especially on the game. I guess on both sides, right? Maybe equivalently, right? The game stuff, the FromSoft stuff, I think is so valuable for Sony.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
And I think partly that's why we've seen them be careful as far as we've not seen a Bloodborne remaster or remake. I wonder if that's them being like, hey, dude, we want to keep this relationship as kosher as possible. We want to maintain what this relationship is because we want to buy them. That's where I'm at with it.

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
the most PlayStation-y, there was a conversation I was having with Greg last Friday on the grading PlayStation's 2024 conversation, right? And one of the things we talked about were the PlayStation Studios titles that they published that were like third party. So we were talking about Rise of the Ronin and we were talking about Star of the Blade.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
And one of the things I brought up in regards to that is that I feel like Rise of the Ronin came under the line of what I would say is, like, the quality that I would say is PlayStation Studios, right? Like, I played Rise of the Ronin, and I'm like, this doesn't feel like a PlayStation Studios game, and I feel like there's a standard there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I feel like Stellar Blade was kind of, like, on the line, right? I feel like when you're talking about what you seek out as PlayStation after a year that's kind of been a dud year for PlayStation. Of course we got Astro Bot, of course we got in Helldivers 2, but I think it's not like a God of War year. It's not been like a Horizon or like a Death Stranding year.

There's the comments from PlayStation recently from the organization talking about, hey, we want to go back to having a hit every year. Like we want to make sure that we're having those big PlayStation games coming out every year. I think this would be such a key aspect in that as well, right? Hey. We got to fight back with this acquisition stuff. We got to make our own moves.

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
And then also, hey, we got to maintain this library. Games are getting bigger. Games are getting tougher to make. Games are getting more expensive. We need some firepower. I think FromSoftware is that firepower.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Gotta balance it. Yep. I want to bring in some more Super Chat. CJ Splitson writes in and says, Sony owns 13% of FromSoftware already. There's no way they wouldn't be brought into SIE. This is off the topic, but I'll bring it in anyway. Zagirian writes in and says, Question for Tim. My roommate has a PS5 and uses the basic controller.

And we're back with story number two. I love it. Oh, what a good time. Control 2 will be an action RPG. This is from Andrew Webster at The Verge. This is a great time for this story to be coming in based on the conversation me and Mike had yesterday. We already knew that the Supernatural Thriller Control was getting a sequel, but now Remedy has provided some more details on the game.

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Well, one major detail. Control 2 will be an action RPG, seemingly deviating from the action adventure template set by the original. The news came during an investor's presentation in which the studio revealed a few other tidbits about its franchises.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Alan Wake 2 has sold over 1.8 million copies, the ultimate edition of Control hits Mac on February 12th, and it'll also be getting a free update of some kind next year that will unlock previously released content.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
A large part of the presentation was devoted to Remedy's ambitious plan to build out an interconnected universe, which will span not only game franchises like Control and Alan Wake, but also film and TV.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Earlier this year, the studio announced a partnership with Annapurna to explore bringing its franchises to new mediums, and today, creative director Sam Lake said that the process is still in its very early steps. Last month, Remedy also revealed FBC colon Firebreak, its first multiplayer game, which is tied to its other games. Tim, an action RPG, define it for me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Honestly, at this point, what, a year? I would have guessed like 2.5 million.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

How many of us?

We wanted to sell 10 million.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I'm honestly not super mad at it. I think I have an understanding of what an action RPG is. Oh, I'm sure you do. I'm sure you do. You're just going to level up and have skill trees, right? Maybe you're going to be making some dialogue choices in the story.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Today's stories include PlayStation is reportedly in talks to buy from Software's parent company, Control 2 will be an action RPG, and we should be paying attention to the Indie Game Awards. We'll have all this and more because this is Kinda Funny Games Day.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I'm gonna make you mad, but I don't think God of War is an action RPG. I think it has RPG elements. I think it's an action adventure game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
But you're talking about an adventure game. I'm talking about an action-adventure game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Oh God, we're in it again. Well, no, I agree. I agree with that. But I think modern days, when I think of action RPG, I think of two games, right? I think of Diablo in terms of how that's an action RPG, and I think of Elden Ring.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Which is why we need to find somebody to be the arbiter, to be like, hey, you're in charge of figuring this shit out.

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
It's the weird thing of you don't just come up with this topic just to like come up with new hot takes. You have something to say. There's something that's been stewing in Greg's mind. That's terrifying. This topic. And then the stream after that is going to be Flight Sim with Mike and Nick, even though I think I heard them plotting about something. Is it Flight Stream or Flight Sim, Mike?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Yeah, you're right. My Jessa Faden is level 24. And she has a gun that goes all in on explosion abilities. But you're Jessa Faden.

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
She's shocking things. It's kinda neat though, I say that a lot. It's kinda neat. I was gonna, this is supposed to be a joke, but I kinda like it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah, mechanically, what is an action RPG? Yeah, it is those skill trees, it is leveling up, it is, again, maybe dialogue, we'll see. I don't think I don't want from Control 2, is I don't want split narratives.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I don't think that'll happen either.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Now, it's been a minute since I played Control. Control already had skill trees, right?

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I think you would like Control. Well, haven't you played it? I don't know. I don't know. That shocks me. Yeah. Mike, you played Control?

People have been asking for it, but the fact that they actually gave it to us is like, oh, okay.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I can't wait to see the first gameplay trailer, to see what they really mean by this, because yeah, the more I think about Control One, the more I'm like, I guess it has a lot of the elements I already put in there, so I imagine that, yeah, those choices might matter a bit more for how you're building your character, which I think could be really cool, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
If I'm looking at my gameplay and I look at Greg's gameplay, or Andy's gameplay, and it looks completely different, I'm like, fuck, I should've done that, right? I wanna make that Jesse Faden. I think that there's something there that could be very exciting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
That's because we're all confused. We've been confused for decades when it comes to all this stuff. Here's what I'll say. Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom. I'll say those are action RPGs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
But I wouldn't say Ocarina is an action RPG. And that's by my own arbitrary... Yeah, it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For me, RPGs require some kind of leveling and some kind of like you're building this character up. You don't build up Link. You unlock new items, I guess. But Breath of the Wild, the fact that you unlock... Different tunics. Yeah, but you know what I'm talking about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

But I digress. Story number four, Tim. Let's talk about Pokemon. Pokemon TCG Pocket estimated to have made $120 million in three weeks. That's a lot of money. This is Ryan Dinsdale at IGN. The free-to-play Pokemon trading card game Pocket is estimated to have surpassed $120 million in sales since it launched on October 30th.

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Pocketgamer.biz cited figures from AppMagic that estimated the digital card game hit $100 million after 17 days. It has now crossed the $120.8 million line. Pokemon TCG Pocket is free to play, but allows players to buy extra booster packs, cosmetics, and a monthly pass that rewards one extra pack a day.

Yeah, it was more of a jingle than just straight up like, which I respect. Let's start off with story number one. Sony is in talks to buy media powerhouse behind Elden Ring. I'm pulling from Nirban Sen and Sam Noosey at Reuters.

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
The app launched to immediate success, with App Magic estimating it was making $3 million a day after hitting $12 million after 4. But that number has already doubled, with daily player spend now totaling $6.4 million. A similar trend was seen per week as Pokemon TCG Pocket was estimated to have earned $35.8 million in its first week and $48.5 million in its first week.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
That must be in second week, right? Five days into week three, and Pokemon TCG Pocket has pulled in $37.2 million. Goddamn. Insane.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
The boost over week one is perhaps due to more players picking up the game, but also because as per mobile game design, Pokemon TCG Pocket front loads the players with packs and cards and cosmetics before reducing those rewards to a trickle.

Let me check to see if we have any Super Chats in here. Voice Dasher says, everyone worried about exclusives. It's Sony, not PlayStation. Like Bungie, this is to bring more money and everything will remain multi. PS, don't need more reasons to buy a console. They need overall money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

That sucks that all that goes, gets thrown out the window. You're wrong.

Yeah, no.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yes. I think PlayStation wants to own FromSoftware. So if they can do it, they're going to try and do it. ZeekSpeak says, are roguelikes a genre? Metroidvanias is Ori in the same category as Dead Cells. What about Zelda and God of War? How the hell do we slice this pie?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
no i don't know where a lot of it would be applicable because i think in a lot of ways the ways the reasons why you'll buy the dynamic omen similar reasons to why you buy katakawa so let's get into it
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I'm of the mind, I think I come from a similar place, but also of the mind that there are games that are purely of a genre. There are games I look at and I'm like, oh, that's Metroidvania, and this is what makes Metroidvania. Or that's like, for me, a roguelite typically isn't a Metroidvania. I feel like those are two distinct things. That said, to your point, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
more and more games are blurring the lines. And that's not even a new thing, right? No. From back in the day. Forever. Yeah, like, you know, you look at certain games on NES or SNES and you're like, oh, there's a platformer, but it's also an action game. Like Mega Man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
It's a platforming action game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
the dot delta two straight-up it's an rpg and it's a to be platformer they don't give a fuck yet idea i think java's exhaustive also think that like we have to be very lenient as far as like trying to create hard lines kids hard-line we're not to be able to do it your point of yes thank you
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Zeke Speak, I guess wrote in earlier again, and says, game genre is hard because we describe games both aesthetically and mechanically. Shooters can have skill trees, fantasy games can be linear, horror games can have choices. We need to pick a lane. I do, here's the problem, is that I do love this conversation though. I do like defining things a lot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Sony is in talks to acquire Katakawa, the Japanese media powerhouse behind the Elden Ring game, two sources familiar with the matter said, as the technology giant looks to add to its entertainment portfolio. The talks between the two sides are ongoing and, if successful, a deal could be signed in the coming weeks, the sources said. Sony declined to comment. Katakawa said it cannot comment.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

It's just to honor things, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
But I am of the mind to Zeke speak here, right? We need to pick a lane. Again, I think so many things can be multiple things, right? You can be fantasy and you can also be a shooter. You know what I mean? Those aren't, oh man, my fingers, not blue screen, but it just went crashed. It went off, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
uh... uh... but i like you know i think that is the nature of video games i'm somebody that like oftentimes talk much honors i'd like to go by defining things mechanically as opposed to, like, defining games mechanically first and then by, like, setting or whatever second, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
So, for example, like, I'd start off by calling something an RPG and then if it's a horror RPG, for example, which sounds awesome, I don't think we have many of those, then, like, horror would almost be, like, the second thing that matters to it because it's a video game, right? It's not a movie, it's not a TV show. But again, like... Who cares? Yeah. Hold on.

I did think about, like, just creating a video where we just sit and just talk about genres. Mike likes it. Mike's nodding his head. I like it. Go for it. Let's do it. One of my favorite moments is, like, teaching Mike about what an RPG is. I forget what show it was that, like, was a Patreon exclusive. It was Remember Blank. Where, like...

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
You know, it was one of those conversations where we were talking about a turn-based thing, and Mike's like, I don't see turn-bases as RPG. I looked at Mike, and I was like, Mike, you just turned this into a whole conversation, because now we've got to really break this down. So yeah, maybe one day.

and i'd love to see the comments no i i i i think it'd be a fun conversation when i honestly and if you will get this on the delete this off but i think that like that conversation can be had in a way where people can be like i get that as i look like here's the big disagree so understand absolutely at look to me what's important is that there's consistency within an individual's understanding of the thing and as long as that person can explain
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Sony already has a 2% stake in Katakawa, and a stake in Katakawa Controlled From Software, the developer of Elden Ring, which has sold 25 million units and has been widely praised. Katakawa began as a publisher in 1945, but has expanded into games, anime, events, and figures with franchises such as ReZero. in which a teenage boy is summoned to a fantasy world.

And then I'm gonna pull in one more from Aaron, who writes in and says, this potential Katakawa acquisition would be fairly devastating for the anime field, both production and distribution.

You know what I mean? Okay, so when you're talking about PlayStation and PC, that's 70%. What's 70% of 25 million? I'm not gonna do that math off the top of my head. It just looks at me and starts shaking his head. Let's just say, conservatively, let's say 16 million, all right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I don't know. I mean, From Software plus that anime shit, that probably means even more to them. Like, I think that, if you can get From Software as a nice plus, and you know how much that's going to bolster your games business... Oh, you know, it's like, it's like, you know, you won't, it's like you're open to McDonald's.

your portfolio and like your current plans as far as your year-to-year releases and go, we can bolster this up a little bit and like maybe a lot of it based on if you get from software, right?

I think those are happening, like, strongly, and I think they, I would imagine that they're going to Sony, like, again, the higher-ups are all having conversations all the time, I imagine, about like, but what if we bought from software? Hey, how can we buy from software? Hey, what if we spent some money to buy from software? I think that's happening.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah, this is fascinating because to what we're talking about on the anime side and, like, the Sony side of, you know, why Katakawa would be a good fit for them, it's almost equivalent and pretty much equivalent on the gaming side as well. This is one of those ones where, and I'll preface this by saying, we're talking about an acquisition.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
We've been through this before where, you know, obviously there are business ramifications to acquisitions that are bad. Absolutely. Like, if this goes through, there will be... It's going to be bad news. There's going to be bad news. There will be layoffs. All the stuff that we said about previous acquisitions when it comes to Xbox and Activision, when it comes to all these different things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Of course, not the same size as Activision.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
That has happened. So that will happen here. I will also say what is true, though, is that this particular one does... bring me back to, I think, other recent acquisitions we've seen from PlayStation. I guess Insomniac isn't as recent as it feels like anymore. When Insomniac happened, that felt like a, oh, I can see your plan here. I can see the vision here. This is a fit, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
For sure. And to some extent, both on the anime side and on the gaming side, Katakawa is kind of a perfect fit when you're talking about what your plan is as PlayStation. Or as Sony, I should say, right? On the Sony business side, you look at what Katakawa is doing with manga, with anime, and you're like, yes, we have a place for this.

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
This is going to help bolster and strengthen this side of our business that we obviously are trying to go for and care about and want to continue to build and grow and all these things. On the gaming side, From Software, I think, is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
probably up there as the best acquisition you could probably make as PlayStation when you're talking about what that adds to your portfolio and when you're also talking about what you can probably afford, right? I don't expect PlayStation to buy Rockstar, for example. Yeah, yeah. Go for it.

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
You know your audience loves this. There's a lineage here that is PlayStation. We want to talk about Demon's Souls, and we want to talk about Bloodborne.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
being able to have a direct say in, hey, let's maybe make more Bloodborne, or let's remaster or remake a Bloodborne.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Oh, I 1000% agree with you, right? Like I think if I'm taking my statement further, I think this would be maybe the best choice for PlayStation as an organization. I think this would be bad for From Software and maybe even bad for the industry.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I don't... I see the point that you're making. I think it's an interesting exercise to talk about because I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
When you're talking about IP in 2024 and developers and studios in 2024 and their power to sell both software, and I guess in this case, right, sell consoles while you're also selling software at the same time, I think when we're talking about Elden Ring, there is more sales potential there than if we're talking about a new Final Fantasy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I think Final Fantasy doesn't have, I don't want to say it doesn't have the same strength as it did before, but I guess the space is different.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
A PlayStation exclusive Elden Ring 2 would be such a boost for PlayStation, right? Like, for me, you put that in the same conversation as you put any of the other, like, you know, top tier PlayStation first party IPs, right? When you put that in the same conversation as a Spider-Man, maybe even, like, a God of War, a Horizon, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Like, I think a Elden Ring or a Bloodborne or honestly, like, any major, like, big game that you're pushing from software, I think Armored Core might be on, like, the lower end as far as that. But I'm talking about, like, the main titles, like an Elden Ring.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I think that does so much for the PlayStation ecosystem and does so much for people being like, oh, this is another reason why I need to own a PlayStation. Like, you have the Elden Ring games there.

We're in his house. Welcome to my house. So many people are out. And so, yeah, Mike's running the show. Mike also made the thumbnail. And so a round of applause for Mike. Killing it. Step it up. Step it up. Big step, Mike. But also it's crazy because right before the show, Mike sounded like he's a NASA operator, where he's like, data coming through. Incoming transmission.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Is that because Final Fantasy just doesn't have the stuff anymore?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Interesting. I could see it being the tiered thing that we've talked about already with PlayStation and PC, where a game comes out day and date on PlayStation, a year later we get the PC version. I could see that being the, a year later we get the PC and Xbox version.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
It has no bearing on the movie. You know what I mean? Just a little bit of a stabbing. And the seat, like, stabbed me. Like, it, like, did a thing where it just pushed the back of my, like, shoulder blade. And all of us just looked at each other. Me and Andy were like, what the fuck is happening? That's awesome. Andy had soda spilled all over himself.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And to loop this back to, like, and my life is strange double exposure thing, right? Like, double exposure, that first half of that game, in my opinion, started so strong, and then it lost me and I think all of us so hard in the second half. So hard. Where this first half of this game, for me, was...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
the flip of the first like 80 of tape one i'm like oh man i would stop playing this if i wasn't so invested in this kind of game if i wasn't so down for a don't nod narrative you know like um coming of age story i would have dropped this in hour two but i saw it through and after finishing tape one i'm kind of like yo i could see this picking up really well in the second half of this because they leave things in a really interesting uh place right like i think
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
this is one of those ones that I could see myself finishing tape two, looking back and being like, oh, the build was worth it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
But here's the thing. Like I finished this, I say positive things about this. I do think it is a solid piece of, a solid first century or first half of this game. But I kind of had the moment where a few days later, I looked at Lianza and I said, this is crazy, but let's say, God forbid, Donut is like, hey, this is a Concord situation. We're refunding all the money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
We're not going to release a tape two. I would be like, cool. Like I'm not, I'm not really, I'm like, I'm done. I'm not dying, and that's the crazy thing about this, is that Life is Strange, at the ending of pretty much every episode, that's how good that game was, or all those games are, is that you're like, fuck, I can't wait, oh my gosh. That's a crazy twist, that's a crazy cliffhanger.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
At the ending of the halfway point of this game, there is not that, right? It is very much focused on... Again, everybody like if you're going into this expecting life is strange because of don't know, which I understand the marketing kind of leads that it is that but it's not that remember that this is going to be something that is more character based. It is a slice of life thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
It is more akin to I think the the Greg Miller games of the world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
You're just walking around. You're talking to people. And of course, there is a supernatural twist to it of it all. Right. That you will see at the ending of this tape. But, you know, it is just kind of walking around getting to know these characters. So I went back to the first episode of Life is Strange one and I couldn't believe how fast that game picks up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
right like you're immediately making choices like this entire first episode i don't think i made maybe one choice that i felt like oh that's a big choice maybe like i can't even see there's not even enough choices that i think that are like are like oh shit this is changing the way that i'm gonna play the game in the future almost like the slow-mo with the music you and i like all of us didn't have the conversations like oh my gosh you chose this because i can't think of one right now off the top of my head that's my biggest critique with this probably right like on
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And then he has to, like, in between the Hulk fight, he had to, like, start, like, sucking off the soda in order to, like, get the soda down to a level where it's not going to spill on him again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
score i was going back and forth in my head between a seven and maybe a 6.5 and i think i land on the 6.5 because what i what i want the most out of these games are choices that feel dynamic choices that feel like they change things choices that feel like they really matter as far as how you take in the story and what your perspective is on what this character would do or well you know what is the right thing to do in this story and yeah there weren't really any big i don't feel like there's a
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
It feels like you really are just coloring in what is happening, which is a valid way to approach it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
really mean anything but the cool thing about this is that i i felt like there was a lot of really interesting ways that they played with time and the dynamics of looking back on certain events right again like the whole game is is focused on your uh main character swan and you're talking to one of your old friends who you meet up 25 years later 20 30 years 1995 to current
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Yeah, so 30 years later, you get a mysterious package and you guys have to kind of reminisce about the past, about a summer that you guys all shared in order to kind of figure out what this package might be about, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
yeah exactly always sucking off that soda and then uh by the ending of it i got launched like a foot in the air because i was just kind of like leaning back in my chair and then the hulk thing started and then i was like oh shit i'm in a bad situation so i need to get up fast right like i need to sit up so i was like let me do this really fast and as i did it the fucking hulk thing started moving and then i just launched myself a foot in the air it was awesome yeah 40x is incredible that was the other thing with it is a 40x it was like wow i was like i'm not going
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
So it is in the past, when you're playing in the past, you're picking up items and then the current version of you or your current version of your friend are talking about that and going back and thinking about, oh my god, I can't believe I did that thing. That was interesting to me. That was really interesting to me. And it gets more interesting when...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
potentially more people are involved later on in the game, right? But in the beginning of it, that is interesting to me, and I think that's the little things that add up to me, and I'm like, okay, this is not a 6.5, this is a 7.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
This is interesting, and Dontnod is trying to do something here, but I also don't want to give it so much credit where it's like, oh, it's doing all these interesting things, but just because you're doing something different doesn't mean it's better, right? I would take a Life is Strange True Colors any day over this. That's just the way it goes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Here's the thing. So far, where we're at with this, I'll take this over a double exposure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I mean, yeah, duh.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
So far, it feels like a better overall experience than a double exposure. And I think part of that even comes with, it's a weird reminder slash, I don't know, maybe they're stepping up here. I was surprised by how many environments we go to. After playing double exposure, where in double exposure, you're in a bar, you're in a campus area. I forget if you're anywhere else.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Oh, yeah, you're in her apartment.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Yeah, the fine arts building, the fab. But here, I am looking around, and I'm like, I can feel the budget here, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
The areas are bigger. You're seeing more of them. I think there's a presentation here that works. I do wish that there was a performance mode, because I don't love the frame rate of it. I wish it was...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
There's some don't not jank in here. There's some don't not jank. It's charming. I think they updated it because in the beginning when I was playing it, I was having an issue where every single time the camera would cut, there would just be a stutter. And I thought that was so frustrating. I think they've updated that, so I don't think the 1.0 people will have that. But there is the lip syncing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Lip syncing is rough, right? Lip syncing is rough. I think some of the writing is rough, especially from going from double exposure to this. It's not as human and natural. I look back at double exposure and I'm like, man, For all the faults that game has, I fucking love talking to people. I thought it was so natural.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I've talked to so many real people that talk like people in Life is Strange, for better and for worse. But this one, it's just a little stiffer. And I understand because it's a bunch of 16-year-olds, right? They're awkward. They're weird. But it is just even the adult versions of them are just a little weird.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
It reminds me of Life is Strange 1 and the complaints people had with the writing in Life is Strange 1 as well. Which was also a huge positive for a lot of people. But you can tell that these are grown men writing girls, writing teenagers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Oh, really?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
But, yeah, like, there is something about the dialogue that isn't as sticky to me as any of the Life is Strange's, at least the recent Life is Strange's, including Double Exposure, where I'm with you, Roger, of, like, moment-to-moment dialogue.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I am, even though the story kind of goes off the rails in Double Exposure, I am, like, engaged with what the conversations people are having with each other. Whereas here, there will be, like, overlapping dialogue sometimes, right? There will be, like, sometimes where, you know, Autumn will be saying something, and I'm kind of like, all right, cool, like, take your call, I guess. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I don't really care about those. what's going on in some of these scenarios. But again, to Dontnod's credit of, I think, trying to push things forward in ways and I think doing some things that work, there's, in a few times this game, actually a lot of times this game, there's like a first person perspective that you're in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And what that allows you to do is in conversations, you'll be talking to somebody and then like, you can like look at something and make an observation about a specific thing and that'll open up dialogue options. I like a lot of what they're doing in that regard of trying to find ways to shake up the moment-to-moment dialogue that's happening between characters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I will say, even when they are trying to push things forward, it's just not fully there. For instance, the way they do dialogue in this game, where it's not like Life is Strange. Life is Strange is somewhat, but not as egregious as this, where a character's talking to you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
We're talking, and then in the middle of our conversation, a dialogue box pops up, and then you can just interrupt somebody, but then it doesn't always interrupt them, right? It's just, it's a weird, it's weird. Like Life is Strange, like pretty much for the most part, a dialogue box would, it would open up and then you would press the button and it would let them finish and then you talk, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
That's the best part, though. That's the only good part about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Like, or sometimes you would interrupt, but it wasn't like every time. Like every conversation I'm having with somebody, it would just pop up the dialogue box and then sometimes I would press it early and then it would interrupt them and sometimes I would press it early and then it wouldn't interrupt them. It's, it's, It's just not fully there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I don't like 40X, man. What was the movie you watched? Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And talking about the first person really quick, this is going to sound like a nitpick, and it is, but it's also a real thing. You're just a little too close to the characters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
The FOV is so close to these characters to the point where literally just one person's head is taking up your entire screen, and then you have to look around. You're looking around, and you're like, oh, okay, okay, now that's where it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Yeah, in the bar, in the first person viewpoint. Yeah, there was one point when two characters were talking to me in the first person.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
yeah and i'm going between them and then they do the thing where they try to do the 3d audio where like someone's off screen and it sounds muffled and i'm like you're right next to me like i don't know what's happening but yeah it's just everything's just a little off but also that's the don't not charm so like i'm not mad at it like it that's just is what it is right so i don't know someone in the chat asked sorry i don't remember who it was this is i think it was like about five hours seven and a half hours so it is like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
It was my first time watching it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Tape 1 and Tape 2, those come together. I assume you're buying that as one package. And so overall, I would expect 10 hours of gameplay out of this thing, which is pretty good, I would say.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I'm very annoyed by this release structure. I don't think it helps anybody. I don't think it helps us. I don't think it helps them. I don't think anyone's finishing this and being like, fuck, I can't wait. Oh, my God. It's not going to create hype. I wish that they just waited until April and just been like, here it is. Here's the entire thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And the 40X ruined the movie for me. You gotta go to only bad movies for this. Because it makes bad movies good. Jungle Cruise. Here's the thing with 40X. Like, Roger, did you ever get bullied in high school? Is that a question? Sorry. My bad. I should have assumed. 40X feels like it's bullying me. I'm in that chair, like you mentioned, right? Your back's getting blown out, bro. It's crazy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Wait till the next. Wait till April. Play it all together. I would not suggest anybody go out there and be like, oh shit, I gotta play this first part, because you're going to forget things that happened. I feel like this is such a... You're in it with the group of people, you're talking to them, you're enjoying their presence.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25

The popular executive quit Sony last month after 31 years at the company, where he helped launch the original PlayStation and served as president of SIE Worldwide Studios between 2008 and 2019. In 2019, it was announced that Yoshida had stepped down to work on a new initiative focusing on building relationships with indie developers, with Herman Holst replacing him as president.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
In a new interview, Yoshida says he essentially had no choice but to take the new indie's role because the alternative would have been leaving PlayStation altogether.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Yoshida explained that while he enjoyed his time working with indie developers and will continue to do so now that he's actually left Sony, it was a role that was essentially forced on him, but one he took regardless because of his love for indie games. Quote, Quote, When Jim asked me to do the indie job, the choice was to do that or leave the company.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
But I felt very strongly about the state of PlayStation and indies. I really wanted to do this. I believed I could do something unique for that purpose. That was the bigger chance for me personally. Yeah, that was the bigger chance for you personally. Moving from a first party to indies, then leaving the company this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I'm very lucky that the indie community, the publishers and developers I work closely with, they believed that they could use my help. I became an advisor for some of these companies. I'm continuing to work with some of the indie publishers and developers I respect. The transition out of Sony to becoming an independent advisor is less of a change than moving out of first party. End quote.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Wild stuff here. Wild stuff. I mean, I think we've all kind of speculated this to a certain degree. Yeah. Just like, yeah, it just felt a little weird him going to Indies, but shout out to the guy Shuhei is, right? Like, of just like, he is put in this role, like, even if he, that wasn't his first choice, that's not what he necessarily wanted to do initially. He ran with that, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And like, the fact that he's doing that now after retiring from PlayStation and going and doing his own thing and like, he's continued to be that indie guy, right? People now look at him as somebody that was able to foster a lot of amazing indies and put them on the platform and give them a voice and retweet them all. Like what a good guy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And the fact that, you know, he's saying all this is like, that sucks and that's awful, but also maybe kind of a,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
blessing in disguise a little bit like I don't know like if he stayed at first party like would he have the opportunities now to then go off and have those amazing indie connections right and then do that on his own of course he's Shuhei Ushida he knows everybody but he has that experience now so yeah it sucks but it's also a blessing in disguise in my opinion yeah yeah I think you put it well as far as like him embracing the role and like you know because of because of Shuhei I feel like I've been exposed to
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
indie projects that maybe I wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise. He embraced it to the point of tweeting out games on his personal account, talking about the stuff, evangelizing the stuff. It wasn't just him leading the team. It was him putting effort into that. And to your point as well, this does kind of just confirm speculation that was already out there, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Like, I think, in the back of our minds, that was always the thing of, okay, he's going from this leadership role to then, yeah, going from PlayStation Worldwide Studios to, like, leading up the indie initiative. That feels like something happened there where either the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
They didn't give him the ability to move up, or this was like a slow, like, all right, cool, we're going to put you here because we have other people that we want to occupy that role that you're already in, but we're going to continue to... We're going to still, you know, pay you to, like, you know, do a role that we know you're going to like because you're Shuhei, and this is something that fits within your passions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
But it's also... The tough thing about this is, I think... my natural reaction to this headline is to be like you know what the fuck Jim Ryan you know what the fuck PlayStation yeah and I think I still retain that a little bit of like you know what the fuck like you know are you are you screwing over shoe hey guys my god my god like you
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
But it's also that tough thing of not knowing the behind the scenes enough at PlayStation to know like, okay, but why? Like, why didn't you see Shuhei continuing on with that role?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Was it actually like a demotion or was it like, hey, we have this new initiative. We want a head that people know, right? You're the guy, like you're doing a lot of good stuff, but also you're perfect for this. Put you here. You can make this something bigger than it is right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
i mean i think that second part is true but also say that is for sure demotion sure like you don't go from president of worldwide studios to then being like okay you're the president of the india initiative yeah for me if i'm shu i'm like damn yeah all right like i'll do it like you know i love this company i love the games like i'll do it but like goddamn you know no i totally i've never heard shu hei say goddamn but you know what i mean

Halfway through, because there's no rules in a 40X theater, right? So me and Andy just out loud, halfway through the movie, just said, this movie sucks. Just out loud. And just like, yeah, movie sucks. Bad movie. Movie sucks. But it was a good time. Good time with friends.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
i totally get that but i also think that like again he has done such a great job with uh the indie initiative he has really made this he feels like oh no i'm a leader in this field like he never treated it at least outwardly like this was a demotion like this was lesser than right like he always looked around and said i'm going to bolster everyone around me and make sure that these amazing indie games are seen and heard and gave people voices so yeah i totally get what you're saying yeah but it definitely is a demotion on paper
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
but also he didn't treat it like an emotion. So I think that's a sign of a good leader right there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And I do want to shout out a chat from Zillan who said he literally said the status with indie started to improve after he worked on that initiative. The Switch was outselling them with the same indie games by a lot, and now it's more even. I would say I agree with that assessment of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
once playstation started going harder with playstation indies right like they made that part of a branding that was around like 2020 with the ps5 coming in and all that stuff right like they made playstation indies a thing and i think that was really good for them you know that started i associate chicory with playstation right like i associate they did uh well i was gonna say little devil inside that game still ain't out yet but there's a number of indie games that because of that right things like roller drone uh i know canada
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Oh yeah, Bucks next, right? But also at the PlayStation 5 launch event, which is crazy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I think that's a very good example. I was going to say even King of the Bridge of Spirits, which I know was like more like they were more partnered with PlayStation, I think in a more deeper way. But things like that, I think are big wins on that side that don't only bolster the indie titles, but also bolster the PlayStation library in a way that is meaningful.

And so I think he did a great job with that. And I hope to see that flag continued to be carried. And somebody in chat says Sifu, which is a really great shout out for that as well. Story number three, GTA 6 Rockstar is reportedly planning Roblox slash Fortnite style user generated content. This is Andy Robinson at Video Games Chronicle.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Rockstar has reportedly met with the top Roblox and Fortnite creators about the potential to build custom game experiences inside GTA 6. That's according to a new report from Digiday, which cites three industry insiders with knowledge of the meetings.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
It is claimed that Rockstar is planning to allow creators to modify GTA 6's game environment and assets to bring their own intellectual property into its sandbox. Creators and other user-generated game platforms such as Fortnite and Roblox can generate revenue by receiving a portion of their virtual item sales.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Notably, in 2023, Rockstar acquired CFX.RE, the group behind some of GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2's most popular modding tools. Makes sense. GTA V role-playing exploded in popularity in recent years. The mod, which sees players using the framework of GTA to create brand new game modes, is monetized by charging users subscription fees to participate.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
According to Digiday, Rockstar's recent conversations with content creators have remained relatively open-ended. Quote, It is unclear exactly how creators would benefit from bringing their IP and audiences to GTA 6 beyond the exposure that would come from having a presence inside one of the world's most popular gaming properties, it says. Roger. Hi. What does this do for you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I mean, it makes, that was such an aha moment when I saw this, right? Like, I was like, oh, duh, right? Like, of course they're going to do this. Of course they're going to focus in on trying to get some of that Roblox, Fortnite, custom create. I mean, they already kind of have that, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I mean, to a certain extent, right? It's limited in the sense that you can build maps and stuff, but it's not as fleshed out as like a Fortnite or like a Roblox, but being able to give people just like, hey,

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
That's beautiful. That's beautiful. That's so good. Yeah, but it makes so much sense, and especially them buying out the modders, cfx.re, that makes total sense. So yeah, this is going to just make them trillions and trillions of dollars and just be the most successful thing in the world, if it works, but it will.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
back like during gta san andres watching youtube videos of user generated stuff and that was modded right like i don't know i don't think rockstar gave the tools directly to players but like i dude i remember watching just so many fan created things and then like that translated into gta 4 that really translated into gta 5 because they did give players the tools they gave like recording tools that i never understood how those worked but they were there right like if
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
If you hit, like, the, you know, the button, like, I think it was one of the D-pad buttons to bring up switching your character. There was, like, an option there of start recording. That's always been there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And I never understood. Well, that's the, I think that's the, Rockstar has their own, like, built-in, like, recording feature. Yes. Yeah, so you can, like, do, like, sick tricks and then go to different, like, camera angles and stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
yeah and that is 1000 based off the fact that people were already doing that people had been doing that for years and years and years in the gta franchise they give they gave people the tools to make their own levels make their own challenges one of the man i remember in the first couple years of gta when people when they finally released that stuff to players there was a game it was like snipers versus cars oh yeah yeah there's a variation of this that's been around for halo for a while yeah oh yeah where you would stand
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
on a large platform then people would like drive off ramps to try and hit your character and like you would have a sniper if you're on those ramps so if you like took out the cars like you know it's a last man standing type situation people go create like the amount of tiktoks i saw in 2022 of like could you like you know drive to the bottom of the ramp without exploding your car type shit right like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
That stuff, people have gone crazy with the user-generated content.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Absolutely. And I can't even imagine how much deeper this is going to be, right? Because, like, imagine, like, I don't know how much you've actually looked into, like, Fortnite custom games. That's just crazy. Like, I just, when I'm bored sometimes, I just go through Fortnite, and I'm like, okay, oh, someone made a saw.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
game mode what the fuck is that and i boot into it and it's like 10 000 people playing it and it's like an actual saw trap game that has like the saw guy running around and making crazy sounds i'm like this is so like in depth it's not good but it's it's very in depth that it has a lot of work into it imagine that with gta 6 graphics and like a potential like here's a whole mod kit that you can do all this stuff and potentially maybe make money off of it like maybe there's the part that i'm very fascinated going on here maybe there's like a roblox thing
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
So that is interesting to me and I'm interested in that and I'm also interested in the potential ideas for collaboration. Does this lead to skins and all this crazy stuff?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I think this will be a huge moment for GTA Online as far as how much they evolve it with current times. Because we've got to keep reminding ourselves that GTA 5 Online came out in 2013. And so to this day, it still has 2013 limitations. That's a PS3, Xbox 360 game. It still has those limitations. That was before Fortnite. That was before Destiny. That was before PUBG.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
That was before so many of these games came through and changed the game as far as what you can do with live service. GTA 5, in my opinion, was so ahead of its time as far as what it was already doing in 2013 with live service stuff. When this comes out, yeah, I'm very fascinated on if they nailed the monetization aspect of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
That's the one question mark I have as far as can you do that and do it competently and people will be happy with it. Outside of that, oh... Dude, we're going to be playing some crazy games with the GTA 6. Like, you talk about the user-generated content in Fortnite, which I think I might be on a more biased level because, like, I've tried some of that stuff and none of it's actually worked for me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

It's going to be crazy. Story number four, Nintendo is discontinuing gold points on the Switch eShop ahead of the Switch 2 release. This is Ed Nightingale at Eurogamer. Nintendo has announced it'll discontinue its gold point scheme across the Switch eShop and official Nintendo website. From March 25th, 2025, players will no longer be able to earn gold points from purchases.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Points earned before this date will still be usable. Gold points are currently earned through purchases on the eShop or official Nintendo website, essentially like a loyalty scheme, and can be redeemed for a discount. Pre-orders for digital games made up to and including March 24th, 2025 will still earn gold points, regardless of the game's release date.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Points will not be granted if the pre-order is canceled or if payment fails. Pre-orders after this date will not earn points. Gold points are valid for 12 months from the date of being earned, expiring at the end of a calendar month. I want to give context. This is Eurogamer, so I believe that's accurate to Europe. Check me if I'm wrong on this. I think the U.S. has a different expiration time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I think it might be two years for us. That means gold points earned up to and including March 24th can be used to receive a discount on the eShop for another year. It's unclear why Nintendo is ending this scheme with the announcement simply saying, quote, we sincerely thank you for using the My Nintendo Rewards program and apologize for any inconvenience, end quote.

How do we bring this back to the Switch 2? How do we connect the dots? Is this a connection? Is there anything there?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
No, I think it's Nintendo being like, all right, we gave you free money. We're tired of giving you free money. We're about to launch a new system. And also, the economy is fucked. So we're going to stop giving you free money. Which sucks because I really liked this. Did you use it? Oh, yeah. Dude, did you not? No. Roger. I don't be playing any Nintendo games. Dude, here's the thing. Tell me.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
It worked for redeem codes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And so, like, when you, when, yeah, so when we get Switch codes. How the fuck did no one tell me this? How is this not, like, in the general games? Oh, shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Yeah, so, like, when you get the Switch codes, you redeem it. Guess what? It adds toward the Nintendo Gold thing, which surprises me. That seemed like an oversight. I might have shit, though, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25

Oh, shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you, for digital stuff, it automatically gets added. So what happens is if you go to. Is it only first party games or everything? No, everything. So you go to the eShop, and when you're checking out for a game, go to your gold points, because it's like... It's a surprising conversion rate of how much gold translates into dollars. I might be able to get me a game.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Okay. He says remaster. Yeah. And he said he was in the last remaster. Okay. So he's just saying it's just using the word remaster. Okay. That's fair. He's wrong. Charlemagne should have called him out. Fake journalism.

Street Shadow writes in and says, Sony had a huge backlash with indies. IGN reported on this three years ago. Shu helped lead the charge to rebuild the relationships. He did a lot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
a good call we talked i remember talking about that like let's get the most likable person ever sorry it's an emotion but like we just need you yeah yeah that's what i feel like yeah yeah yeah i remember talking about that um on psw as far as yeah playstation kind of had a tumultuous relationship with indies for there for a while um it was all what are you looking at no we just got breaking news we'll talk about tomorrow the same shit send it to me um it's in the caption okay um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
But, yeah, it was always the thing of, like, indies having trouble developing on PlayStation or, like, those relationships, like, the communication being off and just a number of things, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
So, yeah, it is lovely having somebody that is, to your point, yeah, very likable, somebody who knows the ins and outs, somebody who's been around for a very long time, somebody who I think is able to carry that flag for indies and, like, get that relationship going in a very strong way. So, again, Shuhei embraced that shit. Shuhei was great at that shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Oh, okay. So, NetEase has laid off Marvel Rivals director and his team. This is from a LinkedIn post from Thaddeus Sasser. This is such a weird industry. My stellar, talented team just helped deliver an incredibly successful new franchise in Marvel Rivals and NetEase games. Dot, dot, dot. And we're just laid off.

Rachel Watts at GamesRadar gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars and says, I'm blown away by Lost Records' Bloom and Rage, Tape 1. And if this continues into Tape 2, Dontnod will have totally captured the core essence of its most iconic series, blossoming into something new and brilliant.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Tom Phillips at Eurogamer gave it four out of five stars and says, what's here already, though, is an intriguing mix of familiar and new, not an offbeat road trip and not just another high school adventure. After such a lengthy wait, it's great to see such a confident return. And Graham Smith at Rock Paper Shotgun gave it an unscored review and said this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Look, I can talk all day about the parts of Lost Records that didn't work for me. If I hadn't been playing it for review, I probably would have stopped after a couple of hours and never gone back. As it is, I reached its climax and it finally introduced the drama and the stakes that were missing from the rest of the story.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Lost Records is bland, derivative, lacks momentum, does not reward player agency, and it twice made me cringe so hard that I had to look away from the screen. I wish it was half as long as it is I wish I had learned to let go of the ideas that had lost their power like Sarah does in Labyrinth. A lot of Labyrinth references in this review.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I wish I had learned you can tell your coming-of-age story about a teenage girl with energy and originality like Labyrinth. I am, despite all of that, looking forward to finding out whether any of it pays off when the second and final part releases on April 15th.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I didn't realize that's what Labyrinth was about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
To be fair, I did hop in at the end of the review. So I'm sure there's a lot of set up for the Labyrinth references there. Roger. Oh, hi. I want to start with you. What did you think of Lost Records, Bloom and Rage? Tape one. The first half of the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Tape one. Yeah, so this is different than the other Life is Strange games or the release strategy, right? Some of them are just the entire game. Here it is. The other ones were, hey, this is five episodes broken up. This is just two tips. It is one half of the game and the other half of the game. So with just the first half of the game played, I would actually agree more with Graham here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Joining me is The Lock, The Tastemaker, Roger Bocorny. What's up?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I would say I would give this game a seven.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
out of 10 I don't think I'm as harsh but I do agree with a lot of his points here it takes very a lot a lot of time to get to the point and the drama of this game it is at the core of it a slice of life game until the very very ending of it um and a lot of the drama that it sets up in the first half of this usually in a normal life is strange game would have been contained to just the first episode
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Like literally one-fifth of a Life is Strange episode is equivalent to an entire half of this game, if that makes sense. So yeah, it takes a long time, but I will say I was, by the ending of it, into these characters. I felt like them taking the time was very, very on purpose, and it was deliberate, and it feels like Dontnod is trying to buck the trend of Life is Strange on purpose.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
It's good to see you. First try. First try. First take to be great. Plus, I had a transformative experience last night.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
to, I think, varying degrees of success. I don't think that this is just them taking their time just to take their time. They're trying to be like, hey, we made Life is Strange. We created this formula. Now we're going to try to change it up a little bit. But either way, I enjoyed my time. Will it continue to feel by the ending of the next tape like, hey, this is worth my time?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I mean, this feels like deja vu after us talking about Life is Strange Double Exposure, right? Where we played the first two episodes. We're like, this is pretty good. What's that going to look like for the rest? But either way, I think this is a 7 out of 10.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
To set up even more context for people who might not be familiar with Lost Records or might not even be familiar with the Life of Strange series and how all that goes, right? So this is the new game from developer Dontnod. Dontnod, they made a lot of games, including Vampire and... And just songs, right? But they were the creators of Life is Strange.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Specifically, they made Life is Strange 1 and Life is Strange 2 before that got passed off to Deck9, who made Life is Strange. Well, they made Life is Strange... Before the Storm. Before the Storm, yeah. And then also made Life is Strange True Colors and then the most recent outing, Life is Strange Double Exposure. And so this is Dontnod kind of getting back to form.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I know. Tell me about it. Of course, I'm a FOMO. I'm somebody that experiences FOMO pretty heavy. And y'all came to me yesterday. Well, Tim came to me and was like, yo, we're going to go watch Captain America.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
They've had games like this in the past. They made, I believe... Tell Me Why. Tell me why. They also made Twin Mirror, which I've never heard anybody talk about Twin Mirror. So for context, that's where we're coming in with this one, right? This one was shown off, I believe, in the last year in game showcases. We saw trailers. From the trailers, it was, oh, okay, this seems like a return to form.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
They're trying to go back after that Life is Strange style formula again. You know, you got teenagers hanging out with some mysterious, you know, element being introduced. Coming of age. Yeah. Coming of age.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Bisexual lighting. Yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Exactly. So with all that said, Joey, what are your thoughts on tape one?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Like the new one that's in theaters right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And I looked at Tim and with Carl Jacobs, right? And it was going to be a very fun time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And I looked at y'all. I looked at Tim and I was like, that sounds so fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
through the dialogue and not really care about it but there were some things that i felt like were harder for me to figure out the beginning of the game but once i played more than wasn't big deal yeah what did you think so i got a lot of thoughts it's funny because right before this uh episode i i i finished the the tape one uh on sunday um and after i finished i was like i gotta write down notes i never found the time to write down notes until five minutes before we sat down to record here and as i started typing it just came out like so naturally of like the amount of thoughts i have about this thing
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
no i'm not why you can't make me watch that movie a second time i'm sorry yeah i'm sorry leanza and i went leanza hates that fucking movie i hated that movie too but i was like you know it's 40x it's carl jacobs i can't not you know go see this movie again and man 40x blew my back out holy shit it was it was rocking there was one moment when captain america not a spoiler but i guess what gets stabbed a little bit just a little bit
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I want to preface by addressing, because I saw some people in chat being like, where's Greg? This is a Greg-ass game. One, I'll say that February, very busy month. So busy. Avowed came out this month. Guess what? Monster Hunter is coming out this month. The dice happened. So Greg is a very busy man. And so he can't be in all places at all times.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
But I'll also tell you that all three of us here are very big Life is Strange people. And so you're the... We are part of the crew that you want to hear talk about this game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I bring that into this to say that I think playing this game right after playing Double Exposure has been a very interesting framing of how I am feeling about it as I am playing through Tape 1 because I almost feel like this is the anti-Double Exposure in the sense of I came into this game thinking it was going to be another Life is Strange, even though it's not Life is Strange in title or IP.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I thought it was just going to be another one of those. And I love those. Right. I think after we reviewed the first half of Life is Strange Double Exposure, one of the things that I said was that playing Life is Strange feels like drinking like a cup of hot cocoa. There's something that is comforting. There's something that is familiar.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
There's something that is, I think, nice and digestible about the way they approach writing, the way they approach the character work. It is all very... I don't know, easygoing and gentle. And there's something about it that is just comforting. Lost Records doesn't feel that way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
Lost Records, for me, I came in day after day looking at Roger and being like, yo, Roger, when is anything going to happen in this game? Like, I was waiting for the MacGuffin. I was waiting for some big element to come through and really switch things up or move things forward. And I was very surprised by how much this game takes things slow. And it spends...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
most of its first half just building up relationships between characters and i was that's not how life strange does things right like not at all yeah and i was very impressed by that and that was also i was very impressed after finishing this episode but i was also very frustrated while playing this game because it is me kind of being bored kind of being like all right where's the thing all right like is anything gonna happen i'm here with a
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
I do like how the camcorder stuff is basically, yeah, the game's collectible system. So, yeah, you were recording just random shit. You're in your bedroom just recording your cat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
It is genuinely impressive. Like, from a video editor perspective and just that perspective, it was awesome. Like, that's perfect for me, where you are recording everything, and then you can rewatch everything in the menu, and it has a voiceover of your character explaining kind of the... putting the framing of the documentary that they're making.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.25
And you can also edit the little video snippets that you have. So it is... It's not super deep, but it's like deep enough that gets me excited to record the birds and find them all.

Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I want to bring in a super chat from Aaron Lime who writes in and says, If nothing is exclusive, what's the point of having your own console? Nintendo is doing so well because Mario isn't on another box. PlayStation's problem is console price, not exclusivity. Tim, what you say to that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
It's so hard to have this conversation without feeling like we're repeating so many things that we've talked about before. But I think when you talk about what is Xbox, right, it is a platform. And this is kind of what the conversation has been as far as, you know, what's the point of having your own console if nothing is exclusive, right? I think, to your point, it is them redefining the rules.

Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
It is them... If Xbox kept playing the same game that they've been playing for the last couple of decades, right, competing with PlayStation, competing with Nintendo, doing the, hey, we want to... build up these exclusives to sell these boxes and the more boxes we sell, the better we're doing. The more they play that game, the more they're going to lose at that game.

Phil Spencer came on, not this show, but like one of our shows, XCast, talked with Paris and Mike and Gary and said that, hey, we lost the most important generation to lose, right? People are locked into their ecosystems. So what does Xbox need to do, right? And this is me stepping in, not Phil Spencer's quote anymore, but yeah, they need to come in and redefine What are the rules here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
What is the ecosystem now, right? We need to find a different way to have players enter the ecosystem. That is going to be meet them where they're at. Where are they at? They're on PC. They're on PlayStation. Maybe they're on Nintendo. Maybe they're on just their Samsung TV. Maybe they're on their Amazon Fire Stick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Wherever they're at, we got to take Xbox to them to then allow them to pay for Game Pass, pay for our services, pay for different things, right?

Paris, come into the call. Paris is popping up. People keep saying, get Paris in here. Get him in here. I want to hear what Paris has to say. I'm very fascinated about what this looks like. We've said this before, but a year from now, two years from now, three years from now, when we get into the next generation...

Well, yeah, 1.5 million. I think last we checked, but now probably by 2 million or so.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I think the thing I'll bring into this is I think I think everybody's down right now as far as video, as far as like these big companies. Well, maybe not Nintendo. And there are like those few that are still fucking, you know, doing their thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Okay, no, I can see it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Yeah, it did. That was a decade ago. To continue this conversation, I was hanging out with some people who are more in the dev side of the industry and having conversations about what are the games that are hitting right now, what's the year been like, and one of the conversations that was brought up that I thought was fascinating was about how it feels like things are just going downward.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
It's like, thank God they changed the Sonic design for the first movie. Oh, yeah, because she did not like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Like, everything is trending downward in terms of game sales, in terms of how much money he's bringing in. We look back at the last few years, and everybody's been having layoffs and all this shit, right? I think, to Paris' point, yeah, like, we talk about the Ragnarok sales, we talk about the Astro Bot sales. We look at those, and on their face, I think those are good sales.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
But we couple that with, how much did that take to develop? How much did PlayStation want that to do and expect those things to do? I'm sure God of War Ragnarok, I'm sure that did fine for what PlayStation wanted it to do. But I think, overall... I think things are trending downward. Like, I'll be very fascinated.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I don't think we can have this conversation with somebody who's high up at PlayStation to tell us, like, all right, what are these metrics and are we meeting these metrics? But I think you're right, Paris, as far as... Yeah, like, I think PlayStation does need to make big moves to, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
get those numbers up to where they want them to be i think xbox is being very aggressive about it in ways that they probably really need to be um but yeah i think overall i don't know if there's an answer right now like i think just economically people aren't paying money for video games people are playing fewer video games people are watching people play video games as opposed to buying video games like the numbers are just down right now um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
And so I definitely understand the point that you're making, Paris. I keep pointing to Kevin as if Kevin's Paris, but I understand exactly the point you're making.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
but i think pokemon scarlet and violet kind of fits in that thing of if you are not at the top of ip and at the top of like those franchises that just get people no matter what if you're not a fortnite if you're not a valorant if you're not a pokemon then it's kind of a struggle in that though but i think that's such a great point of like valorant is now a top tier ip that's awesome yeah that's a new ip like how are we down when we have multiple ips that have come out in the last couple years yeah but that's also major success that's riot you know what i mean and it's like yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Yeah, I feel you. There's ways to win.

I was reading a top 100 list of, I think just top 100 movies of all time. And on there was Paddington 2. And like, this is very loosely related, but it was just the fact of like, man, I got to watch this movie. I've never seen Paddington 2 and I've heard such good things. And I only associate it with having a cute small animal in it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
The rebuttal I'll give to both you guys separately, right, is to the Astro Bot, right, and us needing more Astro Bots. Obviously, I agree, right? I would love more Astro Bots. Astro Bot's one of the best games of the year. The problem is that I don't think game awards pay the bills, right? There's a reason why PlayStation is going after these live service things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
There's a reason why PlayStation really wanted something like Concord to work. And that brings me back to the Valorant thing. I think Valorant is a symptom of... I don't even want to say the issue.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I think just a symptom of the reality that we're in, which is, hey, if you're able to hit it big with a live service thing that is free to play, that has people spending money, it has Andy Cortez and Mike and sometimes me hooked on it. Guess what? Like you are just raking in the cash and Riot right now are the kings of that. Epic with Fortnite are the kings of that, right? Like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Even a PlayStation who we look at as, oh, this is a top tier publisher. Look at the God of Wars. Look at the Spider-Man. Look at, you know, all these big, look at the Returnal and all this shit, right? They put out constantly critically successful games. And even they are like, hey, we need live service stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Like, we need something that's going to bring in money in a consistent and large basis so that we can continue to fund these other things. Because we've seen the numbers. We see how much these games cost to make, specifically like Spider-Man and God of War and shit. Those games are not cheap. And we can tell them to, hey, scale down, keep making AstroBots.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
My hope would be that we start to see things pick back up again to where in a few years those numbers spike back up and guess what? Oh man, thank God. The new God of War, the new Naughty Dog game, those are paying the bills in a way that we don't have to chase after fucking Concord and Marathon and all these things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
To Paris' point, I think the point we're maybe all making is that you kind of have to be aggressive right now as far as how you define your business, especially if you're Xbox because things overall are kind of tough as far as how are you making money? How do you operate as a console manufacturer?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
And I'm like, man, I didn't know a small animal movie could hit that much for people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I think Xbox is doing the right thing as far as getting to where people are at, meeting people where they're at, and breaking ground right now. I think the moves that Xbox are making right now are going to put them on top in the next 10 years. Legitimately. I think right now, Xbox doing what they're doing is going to make them
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I guess if I could, Nintendo, remove Nintendo from the equation because it's weird. They'll just buy them. God, I hope not. But I do think that this is how they win. I do think Xbox gets to that top spot by doing the moves they're doing right now.

And we're back. Before we talk about Borderlands, I want to bring in some super chats for you, Tim. Let's see here. DocsTheFox writes in and says, Even if this sounds terrible for the Xbox brand, which it is, it's tarnishing the name. All these changes literally have no effect on game enjoyment. I agree with that last part. I understand fans being fans. And I understand being invested in a thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

But I also think that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
like at the end of the day if every if every p if every company that made games put their games everywhere that is best case scenario for every fan and so like i would think that most of us would want this to happen or all of us would want this to happen but i think p like over time people have built in an investment that has turned into an investment in the business where people feel like they have stake in like what's going on in xbox and all that shit so yeah that's kind of how it plays out absolutely with you there

Mason Rowe writes in birthday text for fellow kind of funny best friend Chris from Newton, Kansas. I love you, buddy. Let's see here. We got one from JJBaseball23 that says, Xbox's stance about exclusives makes sense because PlayStation has significantly more PS5s sold than Xbox has. So even if they get 75% of Xbox owners to buy a game, it wouldn't be the same as 75 PS5s. It's simple numbers.

Let's talk about some Borderlands with story number two. Let's get in there. Borderlands 4 will cut back on toilet humor, says Gearbox. This is from Andy Chalk at PC Gamer. Everything we've seen about Borderlands 4 so far, which to be fair, isn't much, very strongly suggests that yes, it will be a Borderlands game. But some things are changing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
As we said when the first Borderlands 4 trailer dropped at the Game Awards last week, the art style that made the previous games so visually distinctive appears to be fading into the background. And earlier today, narrative director Sam Winkler said on X that the toilet humor so prevalent in Borderlands 3 is going to be dialed back to pretty dramatically from the sounds of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I don't think anyone would say that Borderlands was ever a serious game series, but Borderlands 3 was a bit much to put it mildly. That style of comedy hadn't aged particularly well even then, and five years down the road, I imagine it hasn't gotten any better. Luckily, Borderlands 4 appears to be aiming higher on the comedy front.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Narrative director Sam Winkler said today that he's gotten to work with some of the funniest people I know as contract writers. But in response to someone who expressed hope for dark humor instead of fart jokes, he replied, "...not at liberty to talk much about the content of Borderlands 4, but I remain firm in my criticism of Borderlands 3's overabundance of toilet humor."
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Lest there be any doubt as to where Winkler stands on the matter, he was somewhat more pointed in another post. "...I'm not going to say there's no toilets, but if the word skibbity ships in the game under my watch, I'm going to cry real tears."

Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I'm not sure. For me, as somebody who's played Borderlands, I would say time to grow up, not necessarily, but time to make better jokes, yes. I think humor and comedy has evolved through the years, and you need to be able to keep up with that. Borderlands 2 came out and was filled with fucking memes and shit, right? I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

i don't know if borderlands 3 regressed i think borderlands 3 just stayed too much of the same and in i forget what year 2018 2019 when borderlands 3 came out i think that shit just felt old and outdated um so i do think that like yeah you need to you need to evolve you need to find writers i know what they're doing and to their credit i saw like four people i know that we fuck with.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
That we think are funny. Yeah, come out and say, hey, I was a contract writer on the upcoming Borderlands 4 game. Ify Nwadiwe, very funny dude. He was a contract writer on it. Zalavir Nelson was a contract writer on it. Emma Kidwell was a contract writer on it. I think they're making the right decisions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I believe him when he says that, hey, no, we're trying to dial that stuff back a lot and actually, like, you know, we want to work with good contract writers. I believe them when they say this is based off of who I know is writing on this game. Totally. I'm looking forward to it. Story number three, Walmart starts its own Game Informer-style gaming site. This is Ash Parish at The Verge.

The ever-dwindling field of games media has a new player, Walmart. Restart is a new website run by Moonrock, a marketing company specializing in bringing brands to video games and sponsored by the largest retailer in the United States. A new game site sponsored by Walmart doesn't seem inherently bad, especially as the game's media landscape continues to shrink.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Publications are shutting down, ad revenues are drying up, and existing sites now operate with fewer and fewer employees. Earlier this year, Ziff Davis, IGN's parent company, acquired a handful of media sites including Eurogamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, and VG247. In the time since, there have been staff departures and layoffs, including buyouts offered to employees earlier this month.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
According to a report in Aftermath, this latest round of buyouts has apparently left GamesIndustry.biz, a site that's been around for over 20 years with only one full-time employee. Restart's business model isn't wholly unique. Before it was unceremoniously shut down earlier this year, Game Informer magazine was owned and operated by GameStop, and for decades, Nintendo ran its own magazine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Other websites like IGN, Polygon, and The Verge also run sponsored content and include affiliate links in articles. In this regard, Restart is just like any other publication. According to its editorial mission, quote, The mission statement explains that while its articles will feature affiliate links to Walmart products, the site itself will receive no portion of the sale.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Quote, we hope you can see this gives us zero incentive to provide biased review scores or other information about a game. End quote. But Restart is also entering a media landscape where the wall between corporate interests and editorial independence has become perilously thin.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
And with a few rare exceptions, games media has slowly shifted away from providing readers thoughtful discussion and critique to providing a product that can be monetized to hell and back. That driving ethos is clearly outlined in a post by Moonrock on its sub stack.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Quote, restart serves as a dynamic hub where gaming content meets retail opportunities, allowing gamers to transition effortlessly from discovering new games to purchasing them on Walmart's platform. End quote.

But, yeah, seeing that, like, they've just been around for a while cooking, and now this is, like, their launch. This is their coming out party. Yeah, I think this is cool. I think that, yeah, they misused some words here. I think independent... Like, them calling themselves independent, I think, rubbed people the wrong way. Like, a lot. Because... we want to, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Yeah. Like, you know, I think when people see that they want to support independent media, like, you know, we're independent, right? Like, you know, you look at aftermath and they're independent, like min max. Yeah. Like things are homegrown and like, you, you want to give that your support because you know that they need that support in order to, in order to live and breathe. Um,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
yeah like when you when you have the backing of walmart to you i think being i think coming out and being more honest about it would go a long way i think aside from that i look through the stuff they're doing right and i'm like all right cool content seems good they seem to have a good head on their shoulders right they do reviews they do interviews they do uh previews opinion pieces all this stuff the one thing that did also stand out to me is they did do the thing where they introduced uh their staff and it is the thing of all white men in a way that made me go really yeah

Really? Like all white dudes. Yeah. And like, it's people that like, I see it was a woman. Maybe I'm wrong. Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong, because I might be wrong about that then. The stuff that I saw in their thread was, like, introducing, like, a bunch of white dudes. Now, granted, right, I know people who said they worked with these folks before, so I'm sure they're talented.

I'm pulling from, it's almost like we do the story once a month. I'm pulling from Tom Ivan at Video Games Chronicle. The days of Xbox exclusives are reportedly numbered. That's according to Windows Central executive editor, Jez Corden, who discussed his understanding of Microsoft's first party strategy in a series of X posts this weekend. Quote, Xbox won't have exclusives going forward.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Everything is timed exclusive at most, he claimed. And responding to a user who said they believe Xbox's upcoming Fable game would come to PlayStation, Corden wrote, quote, It might not be day one, but it'll come with the current plan in place. I M O end quote. That's where I'm cutting that VGC article. I do have a bit more, another tidbit to add here.

Of course, the Jess Gordon thing came yesterday. There was also a Satya Nadella quote that came yesterday. Like a sit down interview. This is like as official as it gets. Yes.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has reaffirmed his plan for Xbox going forward is to allow players to enjoy Xbox on all devices. As spotted by Game File, Microsoft addressed the future plans of its gaming business during last week's annual shareholder meeting. Quote, Shareholders are also interested in our gaming business, said Brett Iverson, Microsoft's vice president of investor relations.

In fact, right now, this is like the peak season in gaming, obviously with Black Ops and the new Call of Duty.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
That said, I mean, a lot of the time the games cast is focused on PlayStation or the games cast is focused on Xbox. And so you're going to get the same amount of PlayStation content as you want. But now you just get more content overall. Yeah. Which is exciting.

It's just been fantastic to see the launch and the marketing around it, the buzz around it, and the love for gaming." Call of Duty Black Ops 6, the first to launch directly into Game Pass, enjoyed a hugely successful debut. Quote, if I think about it right, we chose the secular growth category in entertainment, which we think is gaming. Instead, let's double down on it. Nadella expanded.

Oh, man. Well, that's the part of it. I'm fascinated by this part of the conversation because I think that the way they're doing it now is kind of here to stay. I think that'll be case by case as far as launching on PlayStation and other platforms versus a timed exclusivity thing. I think no matter what, every Xbox game is coming to PlayStation in the future.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Yes. Tim, how are you feeling today?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
You think they're not getting those sales once down the line when they release on PlayStation later?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Yeah, I don't know. I think it's interesting. If you would have asked me how the PlayStation PC strategy was going, I would have been like, oh yeah, it seems like it's going fine. I don't know those numbers off the top of my head as freshly as I'd like, but I wouldn't have thought that they were struggling doing the PC thing later on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
And maybe that's because we measure it a different way maybe than Xbox where... For PlayStation, they want to release day and date on PlayStation exclusive so they can sell the PlayStation consoles and then get that extra boost in sales later on when they finally release on PC, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Oh, dude. Come on. The Mew packs, man. How many have you opened so far? Only like four or five. Yeah, me too. I wanted to pay the 10. I wanted to pay for the 10 pack, and I was like, ah, let me just pull out for now. Let's just see how this goes. But I've been getting some good pulls. The second pack I opened, I got the Mew Full Art. Not like the gold, but I got the Mew Full Art. Wow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
But I think you're right as far as Xbox and how their business has gone and all the things that have changed within Xbox. They've proven that they don't really care that much about selling the box. And if that's the case, I think you're right in your thinking as far as, yeah, just release everywhere then, right? Like it is about Xbox everywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Do you think maybe part of that is Game Pass and PlayStation not having Game Pass? Do you think when they say you can play Xbox anywhere, they really mean you can play Xbox anywhere that you have Game Pass? Well, no, because they're releasing the games on PlayStation. I feel like the launching is weird. You know what I mean? The launch argument is the thing where...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I'm trying to do the thing that I think we all try to do, right? Where we try to make sense of what their strategy is using clear lines. And obviously there aren't clear lines. It seems like a lot of this shit is so case-by-case that it just confuses us, the consumer. I think there's very clear lines.

So maybe it is a thing that's actually worked in the favor of like, well, we don't really need to pay money on marketing because it's marketed itself. Virtuous accidentally put up the page on their website. Like, cool, we'll just release it and people are going to know because it's Oblivion.

Report: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Releases Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.15.25
yeah i mean i think about seeing this remaster in the way that i think so too yeah um but maybe i don't i still think there needs to be a better standardization of how we use the terms remaster and remake and reboot and all the stuff right it's it's tough because i think there are we've seen it approached in multiple ways as far as if you want to look at um uh blue point and how they've done shadow colossus right or how they've done demon souls if you want to look at a resident evil 2 situation which feels like way more of a uh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Releases Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.15.25
excuse me more of a reimagining of what resident evil 2 is rather than just a remake or remaster even final fantasy 7 remake that feels like more of a reimagining the problem is that like i don't think we can get a standard uh like a standard way of doing it because of how marketing works what looks best on the box for final fantasy 7 remake is the word remake you know what i mean like you don't you don't just you don't call it final fantasy 7 reboot
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Releases Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.15.25
and trying to sell that, or Final Fantasy VII Reimagining. You have to call it Final Fantasy VII Remake because that drives the point home, even though you can call it way more than remake technically. Yeah, of course. I think something like this being called a remaster, yeah, it might be them saying, it's not a different game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Releases Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.15.25
It's not like we don't want to say remake and then for your expectations to be out of whack in terms of what this is because at the core, it is the very same game, but we've gone in and done the Bluepoint thing, even though for us, the fans, we look at Bluepoint stuff as a remake.

It is just a weird place we're in marketing-wise, I think, with the stuff to where you can't... People can't nail down on the same language, and I definitely understand that. But, yeah, I look at this, and I'm like, that's a remake. That, for me, is exactly what Bluepoint does with Shadow Colossus and what they did with Demon's Souls. That's a remake. Wait, you look at Elder Scrolls?

Yeah. I mean, how do you feel now after seeing some of these images? Can I see them again? These images strike me as more remake than remaster. Like, I'm fairly impressed by the way this looks. Now, they're calling it a remaster on the Virtuous website. There's a fly in here. Because we're the shit. I'm going to kill that thing. But, like, when I look at these images, I'm like, this looks...

That looks awesome right there, right? Which still brings me back to, wow, this is a stealth release? I'm still surprised that this isn't something that you're marketing, something that you're talking about, something that you want to have some kind of rollout for, for it being an Elder Scrolls remake.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Releases Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.15.25
I think this would be the thing that would help you bridge the gap between whatever the last Bethesda game is, I guess Starfield, right? Or even if you want to say the last Elder Scrolls to the next Elder Scrolls.

As we're reading the actual contents of the article, they're talking about things that feel way more remake-like, right? Like you are going in, you are changing systems. As we're looking at these images, I'm like, that doesn't just look like an upraise. It looks like you've gone in and replaced assets and really brought this up to...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Releases Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.15.25
like put it into Unreal Engine 5 and brought it up to modern standards as far as what a video game looks like, which is fucking awesome. And I mean, I wonder if this is one of those things that, you know, I'm perplexed about, but in a way, like you are kind of having the market, having the marketing cycle through the leaks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
I mean, it's kind of like you said, I enjoyed it for the time because during that time period of the Wii, the waggle controls and all the gimmicks made sense because we'd never really seen that before.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
but it got old pretty quick yeah so to at least remove the waggle but keep that part yeah i like you said seven out of ten sounds like what this should be but it almost excuse me it almost feels like hey let's just get this remaster out because we know we're about to go to switch to and do a bunch of different things let's just get it on that platform
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
So it's... And I think you even say in the roundup, so it's kind of fair to say this is really more of a port where they fix some things that they could, but this isn't a true remaster of the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's 12 years. So, yeah, it's time. Yeah, I want a new Donkey Kong game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
So do you think this is, and I agree with everything you're saying, but you think this is more of a thing of Nintendo looking at a game like this? They don't want it to be lost to that era. Let's bring it to this era because it still holds up. I agree with you on price. I think it probably should have been like $39.99 or something like that. But at least now it's on the platform.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
But I will say it was, God, I remember what KFGD it was. It was you and blessing. And I called in and we're talking about console sales and all that. And the comments ripped me to shreds, but whatever.

So now, even when we go into Switch 2 with the backwards compatibility system, you're going to be able to pick this up in a few years and keep playing.

Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
And I don't take anything back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Look, I deserved it. But we had to have some kind of beef.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
I'm excited for the Switch 2, and a lot of it comes down to that you're hearing these third-party publishers committing to it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
So, of course, we know we're going to get an amazing first-party lineup for the Switch 2, but to see that Ubisoft is bringing the Assassin's Creed games there, Metal Gear is going to potentially be coming there, along with, I know there's rumors about Xbox and the stuff that they're going to bring there as well. It's exciting. It tells me it's probably going to be more powerful than we realize.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Or they're doing some magic under the hood with NVIDIA and DLSS or whatever. But we're going to get a lot of games. It's almost crazy to think the Switch 2 might be the console when it comes out this year. That's where all the games are going. That's going to be the thing, the must-have hardware to have because all the games are going to be there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
And the fact that they're talking about Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth coming there, and then even Assassin's Creed Shadow, right? Exactly. So it tells me... Look, like you said, it's going to be the least powerful. We understand that. There will probably be some degradation of visual quality or fidelity.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
But the thing that excites me the most would be, from a third-party standpoint, is we know Ubisoft already supports it. We know Xbox is starting to support it as well, is these cross-platform saves. So let's say I am playing Assassin's Creed on my PC. and I'm about to leave and go somewhere, I can pick up my progress and take it with me on the go with the Switch, too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
That'll be highly appealing for a lot of third-party games, in my opinion.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
get some of it because I'm guilty of it as well of in the sense that look we know Nintendo's on their own time they're going to announce when they want because it doesn't matter we're all going to buy it anyways right but I don't like finding out all this info through leaks I wish there weren't – it really just comes down to the leaks. I wish there weren't leaks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
So the fact that we've seen the motherboard now, obviously Nate Hayden announced all this game stuff. It's like, man, I really wish we would have gotten that in a presentation versus getting that through a forum leak or whatever it was, a podcast.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
No. I mean... No, I wouldn't think so. Yeah. Yeah. But, I mean, because think about it, The Witcher 3 is on the original Switch. So I would imagine that they'd get Cyberpunk running on there.

Oh, completely agree. I mean, I got to see South of Midnight already, so I think people definitely should put that on their radar. Doom is Doom. Yeah. We already know. That's going to be amazing. That Expedition 33 really caught me by surprise when we got to see that, so definitely looking to hear more about that.

Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
I mean, you know, I don't think... I would set expectations that it's not going to be the super major big thing, but I think it'll be a pleasant surprise. Like, people are like, oh, okay, I can't wait to play this kind of thing, you know?

Now, I doubt this is it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
but i would love because they said it's unannounced japanese ip i would love for xbox to go back into their own lineage bring back lost odyssey bring back a blue dragon something like that i would love to see something like that i don't think it's going to be but do you do you think that that that would hit for people i think it would for for for for legacy xbox people people that have been around since the 360 it would correct me were those games well received
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
I think Lost Odyssey was. Blue Dragon was kind of hit or miss. Yeah?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Yeah, they got so much IP, but the one thing with Xbox that they still haven't completely nailed is... more Japanese IPs on that platform. I mean, I know that's something I talked to Phil Spencer like five years ago about that. And that was something that was very important to him, which then they get tangoed and they close it. So it's like, what the hell?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
But yeah, they need more Japanese IPs on Xbox. I think that'd be very well received.

I drafted it. It's coming this year. It's not in this DevDirect. We know Fable is coming this year because I drafted it. It's not in this DevDirect. They got Call of Duty and all that stuff, so they got a ton of IP. I am most excited for South of Midnight.

Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
I mean, you know, again, full disclosure, I went to Compulsion. I got to sit down with the team, got to see the game, got to talk to the game director, the whole team, all that. They're very passionate about it. And it looks like this is a love letter to the Deep South. That's what this game is. All the folklore, the legends, everything of the Deep South is what South of Midnight is going to be.

Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
The artwork is incredible in it. The music is fantastic. Even just the basic sounds, like they went down there and captured like the sounds of the South. Like when, when they were showing it to us and I go, Oh yeah, that sounds like something. Cause I grew up in the South. You know what I mean? It's, it's going to be good. I think people should definitely have it on their radar.

Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
That wouldn't shock me at all because what I got to see playable, I mean, it looked ready. I mean, you know, a couple quirk here, there, but it was very playable to the fact that I'm like, oh man, this game's coming soon. Yeah.

Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Oh yeah. A hundred percent. I mean, again, full disclosure, they had reached out to me a few weeks ago about this. So I knew this was coming. Um, But to your point, you have the people that made The Witcher 3, worked on Cyberpunk over at CDPR doing this. You can even see in this that they are definitely taking some elements of The Witcher and putting this in there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
But then they're trying to spin it out into its own unique thing with the day-night vampires and all that. I guess the full gameplay reveal is going to be the summer, they said. So I'm assuming probably Summer Game Fest or something like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Yeah, but this looks like... Big AAA RPG open world. I mean, hey, like you said, they don't all hit. I mean, Callisto Protocol is just screaming at me right now because you just thought that was going to be a layup, right? So hopefully they're able to nail the gameplay on this. It has a great story. And, again, the people making it know what they're doing. So we'll see.

I truly hope this thing gets revealed this week and then they'll probably do some big game reveal later on. What is the game? Not that it has to come at launch, but what is the game that you're looking forward to on Switch 2?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Yeah, completely agree. I mean, my thing is... Everyone always wants Nintendo to innovate something, because obviously they've done it over the years. Their track record is immaculate when it comes to that. I don't think they need to do that this time. I think you cracked the code. You created a handheld device that can play AAA games, but it also can be docked and played on your television.

Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
It works. Clearly, it's being cloned all around the industry at this point. Just give me a more powerful version of that. Continue these games that you're talking about. Mine, it's 3D Mario. I personally, as much as I love Odyssey, it wasn't the follow-up that I wanted from Galaxy. And I hope we get what, they're not going to call it Galaxy 3, but I hope we get the true successor to Galaxy.

right i mean real talk though like astrobot is more a galaxy sequel than like odyssey is very much more like a mario 64 sequel yes um and i love it all you know what i mean no that's what i mean i love it all i'm not complaining even if they just did a follow-up to odyssey i'm not going to be upset by that but i i want that galaxy 3 i i will never forget the first time i played galaxy and i was like this is incredible

And I just want more of it. So that would probably be my most anticipated. And I'm assuming we'll at least see it. I'm leaning towards it's not at launch. I think it'll be later, but that's the game I want to see. And to your point about Kart. I mean, Kart, obviously, is day one.

But yeah, like, I mean, the fact that I think where my head's at is, one, I love Donkey Kong enough. even as an adult, where I'm like, oh, man, I'll for sure go to Nintendo World so I can see both the Donkey Kong and the Mario stuff. But then also, I'm excited to see if and how they expand it. I'd love for them to get to a Nintendo or to a Zelda world.

Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I legitimately thought it was going to be, like, a merry-go-round, but you're in the minecarts.

Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Dude, fuck that. That sounds freaky to me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
But they know what this is. Nobody's watching this. But I watched it. Yeah, but they're presenting this as a Nintendo Direct, you know? Yeah, but it's a Super Nintendo World Direct. It's a different thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
But there's also a reason why I didn't watch the whole thing, right? Like, I think they know that most people are going to read Super Nintendo World Direct and go... Oh, this isn't, you're not announcing games here. I'm just not going to watch this. I didn't expect game announcements.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I'm going to say it. That's what I'm saying. I just think they know how narrow the audience is for the people that are like showing up to watch this video that it's, we're not going to give this to our editing team. Who's working on trailers for the next game or where they're working. They got shit. They're doing give this to Miyamoto and put them in premier pro and see what he does.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24

You don't expect the fucking end of the movie in the trailer.

I got to see this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
But I want to see the Minecart ride, man. I wonder... You're right about the Minecart ride, right? And I think... I do wonder about the... I love that we're getting into editing of it, but I wonder if it's a thing of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I mean, the ones that everybody's been watching, right? Penguin caught up on that. I mean, I guess I finished it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
because this is a Super Nintendo World thing versus a Nintendo Direct, I wonder if they just give the editing to a completely different team that is overseeing the theme park, and they just have a different standard of it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24

Another one, Agatha All Along, which I would also say, for me personally, as a singular season of comic book television, up there as well. Did you finish it? Yeah. Shockingly good. Incredible stuff towards the end. I am a hater of modern MCU, especially on the TV side. I feel like it's always a flip of the coin whether or not I'm going to like an MCU show. This one, probably top

Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
two or three for me. Right? I put it up there with, like, the best season, or I guess, yeah, one of the seasons of Loki. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fantastic stuff. And so, I'm trying to find another show to watch. I've been watching a lot of Dragon Ball Z. I'm like 60-something, or Dragon Ball Super. I'm like 60-something episodes into Dragon Ball Super. That's been fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Interesting stuff. I think, one, obviously he left Capcom earlier this year, but it is still a pretty, I think, sad loss for Capcom, because this guy is somebody who has a storied history there. He's worked most recently on the Dragon's Dogma games, but then also he did Devil May Cry 5, and he's done Devil May Cry in the past, Devil May Cry 3, Devil May Cry 4.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
He worked on two as the replacement director. So he has a history there, but then also... Oh, I guess those are like the main things, right? I guess Power Stone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
What do you think he might be working on with Tencent? Tencent, you gotta assume that they gave him the bag. They're like, hey, we know your talent. You're an esteemed game director. You worked on such storied franchises. We're gonna throw a bunch of money at you to create us a success. What do you think Itsuno What bag does he reach into?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
And yeah, I'm trying to figure out what the next thing I'm going to watch is. I watched, I put on the first episode of... I think it's called Industry? Yeah. The Industry? Yeah. I watched the first episode of that yesterday on HBO. I don't know if I'm going to keep going, but it seems interesting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Do you think he's like, all right, let's bring back a Devil May Cry-like game. Oh, I'm going to make another Dragon's Dogma-style game. Where do you think he goes?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Interesting. Yeah, I think I would hope that is something along the lines of, yeah, make another stylish action game, or make another, you know...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
rpg uh in the likes of dragon's dogma because i think that truly is a unique ass game that spoke to a lot of people this year um i worry because it's 10 cent that is that it is going to be all right make us like a multiplayer thing like make us like a live service thing that's going to make us a lot of money right we're we're recruiting you because we know your talent but also we want to build something that's going to last for 10 years and make a return and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Well, we can build it off the back of maybe being a stylish thing, right? Maybe it could be something that has the attitude of a Devil May Cry because we know you can make something like that, but something that's also going to be co-op or live or have, like, loot boxes or whatever it is because we are throwing the bag at you, so we expect you to make the bag back for us, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Like, I'm very fascinated to see where this goes and, like, you know... There's definitely a thing to be done here of sitting down and tracing the deals that Tencent has made so far and trying to figure out where that has led to. What kind of games... I guess I could just look up Tencent-produced games on Wikipedia or something. I'm sure I'll find something. But I'm very fascinated.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
What is the strategy of Tencent bringing on its pseudo?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Oh, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Tim, did you ever play the GTA Definitive Trilogy?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
It's nuts what they did with the lighting, because it was very much a thing of somebody over there discovered some tool in their engine that they're using to make this thing, and they're like, turn the lighting up on everything. And so everything just casts fucking light, and everything kind of just looks like the lights coming out of your car look insane, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
like everything is just lit in such a weird and overdone way um so yeah i'm glad that they that they've added this as the update like the side-by-sides look fantastic of uh of the difference that's that's there and i was thinking about the fact that like i play i replayed most of saint andrea's but i think i still have like maybe four or five missions left um for like my most recent playthrough through this trilogy so this might be the thing makes me makes me go back get back in i mean hey
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I mean, 10 years from now, we're going to get another remaster or remake. They're going to remake these until the end of time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Yeah, I remember so vividly that there was a report right after GTA Trilogy came out, and everybody hated it. The report was that they were going to also make GTA 4, but I think because of how bad this did, they were like, oh, let's not do it. But then we did get the Red Dead remastered, Which I forget if that was originally their plan or not.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Yeah. Um, I, I'll be surprised if we got a GTA four, like remake, especially now that we're on the precipice, fingers crossed, hopefully of GTA six. Um, I think what could be cool is if they somehow like, this is me speaking to like a, like a different kind of future, but if they're somehow able to remake GTA four within GTA six, um, I know that sounds batshit insane.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
But, like, I think we're building to something like that with it, right? Like, the rumors around GTA 6 is that they want to, like, maybe add cities over time. And so, like, we get to year four or something, and they're like, here's Liberty City or here's San Andreas. If you add Liberty City, it's going to be a campaign, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
And maybe that campaign either could be a remake of, I guess it could be GTA 3, but also... Could be GTA 4. Could be everybody. Possibly. I don't know. I'm just speaking. I'm just talking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Yeah, I love this. It is crazy, though, to think that, oh man, Fortnite came out What, seven years ago? Something like that, right? I guess the Battle Royale popped off probably closer to six years ago. But the fact that we're already at a point where they can make something called Fortnite OG and harken back to it and it feel like a big deal are pretty wild.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Also, kind of crazy that this is a trend in the last week that we've seen Apex, Overwatch, and now Fortnite all do this kind of at the same time. Kind of weird, but also I welcome it. Like, I like this, but it is also like, what do they know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Apparently last time they did this for Fortnite, they temporarily did this right before launching Lego Fortnite as a way to get people in and then, you know, have them there by the time Lego Fortnite launches. So I think there's something that these companies know about doing these OG seasons. I think these are like a surefire way to get people back into the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Like it's probably like just a proven, oh, we know this is going to work. So, yeah, I wonder if they're timing it with maybe Black Friday or with, yeah, holidays or people getting new consoles and being like, oh, they got OG Apex? Oh, I used to love that back on the PS4. Oh, man, I'll jump into that right now.

Very recently, yeah. If you can't actually own the product, like a digital product, then it shouldn't say buy. It should say buying license or something. Something that was specifically, oh, I don't own this. And so I think we're already at the place where this specific thing is being fixed. But I guess I'm fascinated about why the crew... Because this feels almost like a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I don't actually think these guys genuinely care, even though this was written like it, but I wonder if this was a thing by them of, alright, we bought the crew. The crew was taken offline and made it, therefore, rendered unplayable. We know that we can make a case here somehow with the crew versus... other games that do this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Cause it's not like the crew is unique in this, in like not being playable, right? Like so many games go offline and become unplayable. Like I wonder what it is about the crew specifically that like maybe they read, they actually read the fine print and was like, Oh, we got them.

The Rizzler is the one where I don't know where that person came from.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Which freaks me the fuck out. I don't know if that's a child or a man either. They had a whole rap scene. After the whole, you know Hasbulla?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Like, there was a video of Mike Tyson playing with Hasbulla. Like, he's a child. Like, tickling him and kissing him on the forehead. And then, like, later on, like, they asked Mike Tyson, they're like, did you know it's a grown man? He was like, nah, man. I thought it was a child. Oh, no! And so now I'm like, I can't judge anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
When I see people like... When I see the Rizzler, I'm like, no idea if you are a 30-year-old man or a 6-year-old kid or anything in between.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I usually see the guy who, for some reason, reminds me a little bit of Kurt Angle. And then I see the, like, just a little bit. And then I see, like, the Jolly Kid. But, yeah, I guess I missed out on where the Rizzler came from. Also, why is he called the Rizzler? Everybody, we're going to have to figure this out. Also, see if you can find the Mike Tyson video.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I mean, I guess, yeah, just that like I went last week. It was a me and still like Mike week. And then what yesterday was Gary. What? I feel like we just haven't been getting scheduled together on ships in the night.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24

Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Oh.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I gotta find the Mike Tyson interview where he admits that he didn't realize that that was a child. That wasn't a child.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Yeah. We're not been one on one as much, but I'm excited to be here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
yeah i've been i i mean review season for me feels like it's hit a dip yeah um in a good way because like i was playing games like crazy in like the last few months and so now i've entered a tv era oh i love that for you watch some tv and what and like i'm trying to get back into the movies because like i this year i feel like i've watched nothing at least in the second half of the year it felt like maybe this has been the industry like it felt it's
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Barrett, is this Donkey Kong? Yeah, this...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Oh, 1,000%. Me and Barrett need to go. And Tim. Oh, of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
We got to make this happen. My thing is... I've only seen, I only watched the first, like, five minutes of the video. I know Tim has watched the full thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
It's funny because once we realized that this was going to be the KFGD headline, I started watching the video so I could have it watched by the time we got to the KFGD. And I started it, I was like, oh, I don't have enough time. Like, I gotta get to the stage. I gotta start the episode. But, like, in the first five minutes, a lot of this seems... I don't know, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Like, I guess, I don't know if it's that I've experienced the magic that is Disney. I think it is that I've experienced magic that is Disney. Where a lot of this, I'm just like, it ain't hidden from me as much. Like, I look at this. That was disgusting. I was going to say, that looked gross. This Donkey Kong hot dog. What the fuck are we doing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Bevor du das tust, möchte ich ein paar mehr Dinge ausdrücken, weil wir über MGS3 gesprochen haben. Wir werden das morgen sehen. Ja, sicher. Lost Soul Aside. Lost Soul Aside. Das ist ein Spiel, das ist... Yeah, it's one of them ones.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
It's a PlayStation, they do their, I think they do their China Hero Project, but I think they also have like, they have an India Hero Project, I think maybe a Korea Hero Project, but correct me if I'm wrong. I forget which one of those that this is part of, but basically this game looks like if Final Fantasy married
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
near or something right like you look at this looks like final fantasy yes okay this was one of the first ones that came out that like graphically were like what the fuck oh here we go china hero project so yeah this is a game that's out of china uh playstation of course see this sees this game and wants to go hey we want to help you fund your project and get this out and partner with you looks like it's running on switch right now though yeah i don't know what's up with this trailer the game doesn't really look like this
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Okay, yeah, it still looks like it's a little bit choppy, but it's fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Yeah, big Final Fantasy 15. I would even throw in like 13 verses, right? Action game, super quick action, right? They retweeted the State of Play. Oh, okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
So, I imagine this is going to be there. I imagine this is also going to be there with the release date, because it's been forever that this has been gestating. I got mixed feelings on if this is going to hit or not, but I could see this being anything up to the next Stellar Blade, which I think would be a slam dunk.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I don't see it hitting those heights. I think it'll be... Here's the thing. Because again, I like Stellar Blade more than Black Myth. Black Myth, I think, was just on another level as far as reception and production and presentation. This doesn't look like it has the cutscenes and shit of Black Myth.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
When I look at what... Because I put this in the same bucket as Stellar Blade, which I think has more of the... I know it's developed in China, but almost more of an anime-esque style to it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Final Fantasy or Nier or that kind of style thing I think does have more of a ceiling to it than Black Myth, which was invoking not only a very popular Chinese mythology in Wukong, but then also had this presentation to it that felt more along the lines of a God of War-style thing. So I think that just skyrockets it. Yeah, for sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
The other thing I'll put out throughout there, and this is based off of another rumor slash leak sort of thing of Hell Is Us. That game seems... People were saying that the release date for that got leaked in the last day or so. And so... If that lines up, that could be a State of Play thing. I think the last time we saw that was also at a State of Play.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
If you're unfamiliar, that is the really interesting looking game. It is seemingly, it has like Souls-like-ish elements to it, but it's more so of a, I would classify it as like third-person immersive sim with like a bit of Returnal in it. I'm saying a lot of different things. Is this Hell is Us? Oh, it is. Fast forward it a little bit to like where some of the gameplay is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
So yeah, this is one I could see showing up as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Real quick, this is what Hell Is Us is, right? Like, cool-looking action game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I forget, there's like a big-name developer, or big-name, like, lead designer that's working on this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Yes, 1000%. Is it Warren Spector? Chat, let me know. What was the game you said?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Es ist interessant, dass sie PSVR nicht erwähnt haben. Ich wünsche mir das jetzt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Oh, ich dachte, er wollte da etwas tiefer machen. Vielleicht war er da. Der No Escape, das klingt wie eine Art M&M-Bar, wo man zwischen die Linien lesen muss. Ich meine, du wirst den Solid-Delta mit dem Ape Escape-Modus haben. Ja. Vielleicht ist das, worüber sie sprechen. Oh, das ist wahr. Ja. Das ist wahr. Verdammt. Oh ja, und das wird ein großer Teil des Stages des Spiels sein, bin ich sicher.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Nicht ein großer Teil des Stages des Spiels. Aber der zweite, den wir schon gesehen haben. Ja, das wird ein lustiger Teil des Trailer sein. Ich glaube, ich habe den Trailer der Woche nicht gesehen. Oh ja, du siehst den 8. Er ist da.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Based on what we've talked about already, I'm already, like, bumping up my expectations to... I think this is going to be good. Like, I think this is going to be... Like, if Hell Is Us is there, and Lost Soul Aside is there, and the Metal Gear Solid Delta Trailer is there, already I'm like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
And I think that's where, going back to the Kebabs thing, it feels like the big one for the year. I think a big one for the year would have that one more thing First Party thing, and I think we'll get that in May or June, during the regular Summer Game Fest time. And that one more thing
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Random State of Play. Du hast recht. Es gab das Jahr, wo es veröffentlicht wurde, wie ein Dezember-State of Play.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Ich glaube, es hängt von dem Zeitpunkt des Erleichterungs an, weshalb ich überrascht wäre. Ich glaube, wenn wir über ein Resident Evil 9 sprechen, das im Sommer kommt, dann glaube ich, dass du es jetzt annoncen würdest. Aber wenn wir über das kommende Frühjahr sprechen. Oh, ich glaube, es ist dieses Jahr, sicher. Nicht sicher, aber ich glaube, es ist dieses Jahr.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Ja, ich glaube, das wäre ein Dumpf.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Das ist, warum ich zurückkehre zu den Resident Evil Remasters. Du bekommst die Resident Evil 5 und 6 Remasters, was ich weiß, klingt blöd. Es ist blöd, aber das kommt dieses Jahr.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Vielleicht wollen sie nicht den brennenden, ich vergesse den Hauptcharakter. Ethan Winters. Ethan Winters wird nicht der Hauptcharakter sein. Lasst uns das als Chance nutzen, um zu redefinen und zu erinnern, was Resident Evil sein kann und unsere Sachen richtig mit 9 zu machen. Und in der Zwischenzeit, lasst uns ein paar Remasters in 2025 veröffentlichen und dann zurück in 2026 mit einem Bang.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Also lasst uns die Resident Evil 5 und 6 Remasters mit State of Play veröffentlichen. Und dann, im Mai, veröffentlichst du Resident Evil 9.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
No. I get summer vibes from that. I think we see Marathon next and I think Marathon is summer showcase or summer state of play. It is a tough thing though of how do you show that off after Concord was such a blunder.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
It's shocking that that's been rumored for so long.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Big Spotify, wenn ihr es schaut oder hört, schreibt es mir. Ich möchte eine der Playlists machen, die veröffentlicht werden. Und ich habe keine Kredenzen. But like, I just want to make a playlist that, you know, gets put on some people's homepages. So hit me up. I'll make a playlist.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
And I'm serious. What else can they remaster?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
This is what I want. If you're going to remaster your Last of Us thing... Obviously, The Last of Us Online Multiplayer Game, you cancelled it, it's not coming to fruition. Go back and just remaster The Last of Us 1 Multiplayer Mode. Last of Us Factions from Last of Us 1, just remaster that and give it to me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
People are usually, I think, overly upset when it comes to The Last of Us Remasters and stuff. I would join them. If you do a Last of Us 1 and 2 remastered dual pack and announced it tomorrow, you would see me with a pitchfork. What are you doing? Leave it alone. It's fine. You've done it enough.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Listen, I'm right there with you, brother. Let's make it happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Ja. Ja, ich fühle mich wie Xbox, wie die Xbox E3, nicht E3 Showcase letztes Jahr, das fühlte sich wie Banger nach Banger. Also ich denke, diese Tage sind hier. Ich frage mich, was die, was die Rückkehr zu diesen Tagen für PlayStation aussehen, weil ich denke, ich bin ein bisschen mit Volk Dasher. Es ist schwer für mich, eine Banger nach Banger Showcase für PlayStation zu erwischen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Nicht, weil sie die Bangers nicht haben. Ich denke, sie tun es, aber nur, weil ich denke, sie sind mehr verbreitet und es ist schwieriger, die Sterne zu alignieren.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
You think it's happening tomorrow? No, not tomorrow. I think it's happening though. I think they're doing something with Bloodborne. Weil, ja, warum gehst du nach dem Remake? Warum gehst du nach diesen verschiedenen Bloodborne-Fan-Projekten, ohne dass du etwas mit Bloodborne machst? Weil sie nicht nach ihnen vorher gegangen sind. Warum sendest du sie an einem random Donnerstag? Ja, Mann.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Aber ich denke, morgen ist es wahrscheinlich zu früh. Ich denke, das ist sie, die sich aufhören, auf etwas zu arbeiten.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Here's the thing. You say own the messaging. I think... Xbox would so happily put their shit in any state of play or any PlayStation showcase. I think it's more PlayStation to be either... I don't know how, like, these things happen of, like, does PlayStation reach out? Is Xbox reached out to play? Like, obviously those relationships with third parties are very, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Transaktional ist ein Wort, aber es gibt ein Hin und Her dazu. Ich denke, diese Beziehungen müssen gebaut werden. Und ich weiß nicht, ob wir noch in einem Ort sind, wo diese Beziehungen gebaut werden, um Xbox zu sagen, ja, ja, ja, steck das in die Sache. Außer für Bethesda-Zeit. Ich denke, die Bethesda-Beziehung ist schon gebaut, von den letzten Jahrzehnten, dass Bethesda da war.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Ich könnte ein Doom of the Dark Ages sehen, oder ein, ich vergesse nicht, Outer Worlds 2 kommt in den Ort. Ich assume einfach, dass alles so ist. Outer Worlds 2, you know, if you have something there. But I don't expect, here's the thing, I don't expect like big new info.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I don't. I always forget which ones are coming day and date. I'm just gonna assume all of them are. Doom of the Dark Ages.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I could see like an additional trailer. Again, like no big news, like no big new Doom of the Dark Ages thing or big new Outer Worlds 2 thing, but maybe just say, hey, this is on PlayStation sort of thing. Indie. Oh, yes, Indiana Jones, yes. That I can see. Yeah. When is that out on PlayStation? That has a release date, right? It must have a release date, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Yeah, people are saying Avowed as well. But Avowed isn't out like day and date on PlayStation. I think... I don't expect that tomorrow, just because I think Xbox is going to see this through to like launching on their own platform first and then afterwards get that marketing. Not even as a competitive thing, I think mainly as a focused effort on, hey, this is where it's releasing right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Let's put all our marketing behind it. Game Pass, Game Pass, Game Pass, Game Pass. Then afterwards, when you're in that marketing season for the PS5 version, then you push real hard. Indiana Jones is just spring right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Ich weiß nicht, wo wir sind. Ich auch nicht, aber ich würde sagen, ja, ich glaube dir. Der letzte war, er hatte Final in der Titel. Oh mein Gott.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
PlayStation lässt nicht John Halos Gesicht auf einem PlayStation-State-of-Player zeigen. Es ist ein PlayStation-State-of-Player. Warum nicht? Weil Kratos' Gesicht... Sie wollen nicht Kratos und Master-Chef. Sie wollen nicht, dass ihre Gesichter zusammen sind.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I think those days are over.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
show cases have uh with content to fill showcases yeah right i don't think playstation is going to be moved in that way until it is like a legitimate financial threat of oh shit we're not keeping up we're seeing our audience like dip because xbox's showcases are like converting fans and like i think that would have to be the thing to happen and i don't think that's happening at the rate that playstation would change things totally
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
2025 ist das Jahr, in dem Nick in Cinnatunerdl ist und ich in Magic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Absolut nicht. Ja, ich denke nicht so. Meine blöde Prediktion ist, dass wir nie wieder Pragmata sehen werden. Ich denke, es ist tief unten. Ja, ich bin mit dir.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Fast fertig.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Es ist Zeit. Ich denke, es macht Sinn. Es ist Zeit. Ich bin überrascht, dass sie es nicht bereits gemacht haben. Ja. Ich denke mehr an Remaster. Du denkst an Remake? Sie haben sie bereits remastered.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Ich meine, das wäre großartig. Ich denke, das wäre so ein Schlammdunk. Das ist einer dieser Dinge, wie es der Fallout-Meme ist. Ich vergesse nicht genau, was es ist, aber das hat alle glücklich gemacht. Der Devil May Cry Remake ist, glaube ich, ein nettes Positives.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
And it's a way to skip two, because two wasn't great, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Could they do the thing where they remake one, skip two, and then remake three?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I'm just telling you. If I see the words Last of Us and you're not giving me a trailer for the new season. Well, actually, could they give us something for the new season? They could. They could. I don't expect that, but yeah, they could. What character could they give us a look at? Have we seen Dina's boyfriend? Yes. In action? In the trailer? Alright, I guess just show me Abby's dad.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Show me Abby's dad! Show me the doctor! Show me Abby's dead dad. Nando says Judas and slash or Hades 2. Let's make it happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Hades would be sick. Also, somebody in the chat said Lev. That's actually a good call. Even though I don't see Lev until Season 3.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Yeah, I forget where we're at. Because they kept talking about new content. And then they kept giving us new content. We're done. Are we done? They haven't talked about new content since the Christmas thing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I would love it. I have such a shady or like a foggy pass with the old Devil May Cry games, because there are joints that I would always borrow from Addison. And I think I borrowed Devil May Cry 2, unfortunately, and that was my first Devil May Cry game, and I didn't love it. I started playing it, and I kind of got bored with it and gave it back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Devil May Cry 5? Played it and I fucking loved it. Amazing. Yeah. And so like, I would love for them to remake them just so I can actually go back and experience those the way they're supposed to be experienced. I know I could probably go back and just play them now, but... No, I mean, I think one would be really hard for you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Ich habe auch Van Helsing von Addison gebraucht, was im Grunde nur ein Devil May Cry-Spiel war.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
PS5 Pro, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Du sprichst von Lost Breed, die existieren nicht mehr. Wir sind in einer neuen Ära. Sie können nicht auf PC spielen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
But with where DMC5 ended, I'm like, I need more. I think I'm going Ninja Gaiden, but that's because I love Platinum so much. And I know what I'm getting. After seeing that trailer, I know what I'm getting from them. But I will play Devil May Cry immediately after.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Devil May Cry 666. This is the devil.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
It's going to be crazy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Oh, I'm gonna be testing the network in Elden Ring.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Cancel all my plans for the weekend. I don't know who I'm talking to. I guess I'm talking to my future self.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Hell yeah. I love seeing seller blade success.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I guess they said because the Asian market, right? But like, even still, that's just very, oh, I see what you did there. You intended that pun. Aber ja, wild to think that your PC release, you're projecting that to outsell your console thing. That was the initial release. They're going to make a lot of money on this game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
It's exciting. I think the biggest thing here that I'm excited about is it sounds like that means we're gonna get more Stellar Blade, right? Like, they closed off the saying that... Ja, ShiftUp hat gesagt, es wird ein neues Spiel in der Franchise gemacht werden. Ich denke, wenn man sich diese Zahlen anschaut, wird man sicherlich ein neues Spiel in der Franchise bekommen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Und der Grund, warum das mich am meisten begeistert, ist, dass ich denke, es gibt so viel zu verbessern auf Stellar Blade 1. Stellar Blade 1 hatte, glaube ich, eine solide Grundlage. Okay, ihr habt, ich meine, ihr habt mir angeschaut und ihr habt einige Software-Sachen angeschaut und ihr habt gesagt, Es wurde eine Amalgamierung von dem, was Action-Games im Jahr 2024 machen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Dadurch gibt es eine wirklich starke Action-Game. Aber es gibt auch viele Sachen, die man als inspirierend sehen kann. Diese Charaktere sind interessanter. Die Geschichte kann sich ein bisschen mehr entwickeln. Aber du hast das, was du ausprobiert hast, ziemlich gut auf der Oberfläche emuliert. Jetzt, für ein Sequel, will ich die Substanz sehen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Mach diese Side-Quests mehr, mach die Schrift in der Welt mehr interessant, lass mich mehr in die Charaktere investieren. Vielleicht sollten wir uns nicht so stark auf die Fanservice und die Big Titties verlassen. Lass uns auf die Dinge einsteigen, die dieses Spiel wirklich von einem 8 aus 10 zu einem 9 oder 10 aus 10 verändern können. Ich denke, du könntest da mit einem Sequel kommen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Und ich hoffe wirklich, dass sie das tun.

Es sah cool aus, es war interessant, es gab eine sehr coole Präsentation. Ich glaube, die Welt sah cool aus mit den Werewolfen und all that shit. Aber es kam raus und ich denke, die größten Befragungen waren seine Länge, was ich denke, macht Sinn zu dem, was Pacino hier darüber gesprochen hat. Hey, ja, wir mussten es rausnehmen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Und so mussten wir Dinge schneiden, wir mussten spielbare Dinge in Szenen schneiden, im Grunde genommen. Aber dann resultierte das in einem schlimmeren Spiel.

That would be crazy. I've not played Order 1886. I'm not either. Aber, und auch wenn ich hier auf meinen Arsch spreche, vielleicht sollte ich Greg Miller aufrufen, weil ich, auch wenn du es das weitere Jahr gegeben hättest, ich weiß nicht, ob es der nächste Gott des Krieges wäre, der nächste Horizont, richtig?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Vielleicht war es PlayStation, der gesagt hätte, yo, wenn das dieses Jahr rauskommt, wird es ein 6, es wird ein 6,5 sein. Wenn wir ein weiteres Jahr bekommen, vielleicht wird es ein 7,5 sein. Und das ist nicht wert, das weitere Jahr Entwicklung, weil das viel Geld kostet. Total. Just get this out, right? We have this deal with you. Ja.

Ich meine, Zeit fliegt, richtig? Ich habe etwas gelesen über ein Spiel, das 2015 veröffentlicht wurde, und ich konnte nicht glauben, dass es zehn Jahre war. Aber ja, 2017 für Dragon Quest Echoes of Lusitania. Ich denke, der Grund, Tim, weshalb es überraschend ist, dass es so lange gedauert hat, ist, weil es nicht auf E3 Showcase aufgehört hat.

Ich wollte mit Roger Bricorny sprechen, weil er noch nicht Metal Gear Solid gespielt hat. Er hat gesagt, dass er Metal Gear Solid in Delta spielen möchte. Und ich dachte, wenn du willst, kannst du in Delta spielen. Aber du kannst auch Metal Gear Solid 1 spielen. Und Roger hat gesagt, was, wenn ich nur 2 spiele? Nein, das ist das Schlimmste. Er denkt, er spielt 2 als erstes Metal Gear Solid.

Nein, nein, nein, mach das nicht.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Metal Gear Solid 2 was probably the second worst Es ist einer der besten Metal Gears. Der zweitgültigste, den du als erstes spielst. Weißt du, was ich meine? Genau hinter vier. Vier ist der schlechteste, den du als erstes spielst.

Und hier ist das Ding, richtig? Wiederum, ich bin gespannt auf den Zustand des Spiels. Und ich benutze das Wort Trash. Ich sage das schuldig, schuldig, schuldig. Aber ich denke, ich bin sehr fasziniert, dass ich diese Konversation habe. An welchen Ebenen von AAA vs. 1. Party vs. Indie vs. 3. Party erwarten wir? Weil es im Februar... Ich denke, wir werden ein paar 1. Party-Tipps im Februar sehen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Ghost of the Ote wird dieses Jahr kommen. Ich erwarte keine Release-Date. Ich glaube, es wird kommen. Eine Release-Date?

40 plus minutes? I'll even give you, you know what, I'll give you a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Well, you got Marathon, you got Fair Games, you got Death Stranding 2. Death Stranding 2 we'll talk about because that is story number 2, but based off of story number 2, you're not getting big Death Stranding stuff here. Well... You can bring in story number two right now if you want to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I feel you. But which do you think is more likely?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Nein. Ich hatte das auf meiner Liste, dass es morgen auf der State of Play sein wird.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
No. Yeah, I'll say no. Like maybe... I think at the... The most I can see is maybe they don't release in August specifically. But I think outside of that, there's so many months in the year, there's so many places where Death Stranding 2 could drop. I was already expecting... Actually, I don't know. For some reason, I'm all over the place with this game as far as where it could land.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Because they can come out and say, this game is coming out in November, and I'd understand it. They can come out and say, this game is coming out in June, and I'd be like, makes sense, right? That's the kind of game it is to me right now. And I think that's just because we don't... Even though they've shown so much, it's also the thing of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Death Stranding 2, I think the things they've shown have been so cinematic. And so we've not really seen the gameplay breakdown of this game. And I don't know if we're even going to get that. Maybe I guess we get that at South by Southwest. But because it's been so cinematic heavy, because it's a Kojima game, it's different from other games where by now with any other game,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Du bekommst den Cinematik-Trailer, du bekommst den Gameplay-Trailer, du bekommst den Release-Date-Trailer. Mit Kojima und Death Stranding bekommst du den Cinematik-Trailer, dann einen Cinematik-Trailer, dann einen anderen Cinematik-Trailer. Ich weiß nicht, wie nah oder weit sich das Ganze anfühlt. Ich denke, es fühlt sich an, als ob es zwischen morgen oder dem South by Southwest-Event fühlt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
We're gonna have a good time tomorrow. I think so. And we'll talk about it when we get to the story. But I think, I know I'm gonna have a good time because my expectations rock bottom. I'm like, I don't expect anything. Yeah, exactly. We'll get into it in the story. But even that, I'm like, that seems like too much. I don't know. Anything right now. It's February.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I would think that one of those will have the release date. I'm leaning more towards the South by Southwest thing. But either way, that's in the next month.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
It feels close. I just don't know why it feels close to me this way. But... I'm with you that in the next month we will know the Death Stranding 2 release date. Either here or South by Southwest. And I think, no matter what, I won't say no matter what, but the vibe I get from PlayStation nowadays, and even from Kojima, if you're going to announce a release date, that shit is around the corner.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I don't think they're going to announce a release date for November 15th or whatever it is. I think if you were going to say a date, I'm expecting...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Er könnte. Und ich würde es verstehen. Es ist auch eine der Dinge, die interessant sind, weil es Playstation Produktionen ist, aber es sind auch Kojima Produktionen, die ihre eigene Autonomie haben.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Und ich schätze, dass sie ihren eigenen Weg, insofern wie, oh ja, wir müssen nicht diese Sache in den nächsten Monaten rausnehmen, weil wir Kojima sind und wir können so lange wie wir müssen, um Death Stranding 2 zu machen. Und Playstation wird es wahrscheinlich gut finden. Wenn das war, wenn
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
If Death Stranding 2 was another, just a PlayStation Studio working on this, if this was a, like, a Guerrilla Games working on this, then I would expect, okay, well, you're gonna wanna have maybe Ghost of Yotei in the summer, that way you can have this hit in the fall, or vice versa.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Like, I think Kojima Productions can drop this whenever they want, and PlayStation's gonna be like, well, yeah, we're gonna give you the freedom to do that because you're Kojima. So it's hard to pinpoint even how this would fit into a PlayStation strategy. So, yeah, I'm with you of, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
cool they they could say may just for the around the corner like cool now let's really ramp up our marketing we have a state of play here we have we have a south by southwest thing in a in a month right and like really get that going the reason why i think i still lean towards the south by southwest like for more info on death stranding is because they're announcing it like right before state of play yeah i feel like that's the thing you would follow up a state of play with i think to announce it here it is playstation
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Wie viele Mal haben sie etwas gezeigt und dann sofort mehr Informationen gegeben? Das ist wahr. Aber ich fühle mich fast, als ob du ein bisschen untercuttert bist. Hey, wir haben eine Death Stranding 2 Sache später. Jetzt hier ist ein State of Play. Es ist so, dass ich dann nicht meine automatische Antwort habe. Ich erwarte nicht, dass ich Death Stranding 2 im State of Play sehe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Wenn du mir sagst, dass es ein großes Event für es wird.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
When you say out of order, are you saying out of order compared to like what they did in the video game or just out of order in terms of how the video game does things?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
See, that's what I'm fascinated about. Because, yeah, one of these reviews, I believe it was the Hollywood Reporter one, kind of talks about, like, yeah, you're just put in with these people you don't know or whatever, which doesn't sound like the first half of The Last of Us Part II, right? That sounds like some of what we get in the second half of The Last of Us Part II.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
And that has me so, yeah, to your point, very fascinated on, all right, are they remixing things a little bit to give you a bit more of Abby's side of the story? How does that sit? I also just wonder as far as the... I guess my assumption slash prediction has been that this is going to be a three-season thing as far as getting to the end of Last of Us Part II, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
By the time we get to season four... Maybe we're talking about a new story, maybe we're talking about adapting other parts of the line. I don't know how they end up doing it, but I think of it as a three-act structure, or like a trilogy structure, right? Looking at something like Star Wars, where you get A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and then the one after that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Why can't I think of what it's called? Return of the Jedi.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
thank you return of the Jedi right where it is the first movie sets it up second movie you get the devastating end like oh shit like how are we gonna come back to this in the third movie resolves it and gets you back into the place of like all right there's hope again right I wonder if they can if we're in a place where last of season was what season one was right last was season two and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
ends in a place where it's like, oh shit, this is dark. But then last season three is like, all right, now here's Abby's story. That doesn't make sense with what this is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
But yeah, it's such an on-paper, man, this is doing everything for me. But again, it's that thing where if I go back, I haven't done this yet, but if I go back for every year since, I'll say since Hades 1 came out, there is a roguelite that has captured my heart. It goes Hades, I think 2021 will probably be Returnal. I forget which year Inscription came out, but that's in there somewhere as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I know things aren't necessarily like this anymore for the most part, especially with Netflix and streamers and stuff of 21-episode seasons. But part of me would almost wish that we would just get a 21-episode season. Because I think you could do Last List Part 2 in 21 episodes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
But when it is chopped up into three different seasons, I think that's where you're going to get to where probably these reviews come from. As far as you get to the end of that Episode 7 Season 2 and you go...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
oh I feel like I need more right and then like you're probably gonna do the same thing with episode with season three depending on how they play it right like I do think there are natural stopping points but I don't the one like the most natural stopping point in my head for the game is not something that would work for TV yeah which would be like how they do it in the game of that middle cut
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I'm such a sicko for finales and cliffhangers and like how you build shit and how you like tie that shit up.

Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch console.

Switch family of consoles.

Last year was Bellatro. You know what I mean? We've just been on fire.

And also, shots of variation in those games. Different types of roguelites, dude.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
But I mean, Hades launched on Switch. I know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yes. And I think that's silly. Why? Why would Nintendo do that? Why would Nintendo want Hades 2 as a launch exclusive for their brand new console? I just don't think that that's... It sucks, but...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah, I mean, I think the context to it, I think, means a lot to how we receive this. Because I do think that Hades 2 being announced a year and a half ago, right? Like, we've known about Hades 2 for a minute. Many of us have played Hades 2 in early access already. And the hype cycle for Hades 2 has already begun, right? It's been going on for years at this point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
When you then partway through that marketing cycle go, oh, and this is going to launch as an exclusive on a console. I think that then makes fans be like, oh, what the fuck? Like, I'm a PlayStation guy or I'm an Xbox guy and I'm a big Hades fan and you're telling me you're not going to launch my console because Nintendo gave you money or whatever it is, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Like, I think that's where the salt starts to set in a bit. I think... Maybe I'd feel different about it if, like, Hades 2 was first announced at this Nintendo Direct, and they were like, you know, we got the deal, we're making this happen, whatever, and this was the first we're hearing about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah. It would still be the same on paper, kind of, right? But, like, I think the way you present it, it almost feels more like you're taking something away from the Xbox players and the PlayStation players, as opposed to being like, oh, no, Nintendo was part of the big push for this new game that just got announced and all this stuff. I think, for me, I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I feel like a bit, I guess, on both sides with it, where Hades 2 is going to come to Xbox and PlayStation probably, what, a year after it launches on Switch? Let's say sometime next year, since they're saying 2025 for Hades 2. So I think that gives me a bit of like, all right, we'll see it. I also I also I shouldn't assume anything, right? Because the assumptions make an ass out of you and me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
But I assume there's going to be some kind of cross-save system. I assume you're going to be able to keep your progression because Hades on Switch 1 had the cross-save between PC and Switch. And so, like, I don't know. For me, it's rough, but I do kind of view it in the same way as Dustbloods of, like, alright, cool, like, Nintendo got one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
If I'm head of Nintendo, if I'm making business decisions at Nintendo and I see the opportunity to make Hades 2 an exclusive, I'm spending that money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
For me, it's going back to playing Rogue Legacy, which I think that was probably my first roguelite that I remember playing back on, like, it came to PS Plus on PS4 in, like, 2010.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I mean, do we say the same thing for Delta rune? Because Deltarune might be a year wrong, right? Is Deltarune coming to PlayStation and Xbox at launch? I don't know. That might be one for chat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Because I see it as, you're right, that I think this alone doesn't necessarily move the needle of getting Switches, selling Switch 2s, but I think it's the compounding effect of... Switch 1s, though, as well. And Switch 1s as well, right? But I think it's the compounding effect of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Alright, we have Donkey Kong, we have Mario Kart, we have XYZ, the Nintendo game, but we also have Hades 2, and we also have Dustbloods, and we also have Deltarune, right? Like, I think when you start to, like, build this case of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
what switch one was at the beginning of the switch generation which was like okay it's the nintendo machine but then also it's the best place to play indies like this is the indie machine i think that's an identity that i could see nintendo trying to reclaim a bit for the titles that you already do associate a bit with nintendo i think delta rune uh for the previous chapters when it came to console where we're coming to nintendo at first again this is a you're wrong for chat um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
But yeah, Hades is the same thing. From Software is new to Nintendo, but I think because it's not a sequel, it is this new IP that From Software has. It doesn't feel as crazy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
It just doesn't have that. You don't think the Hades fans are going to, like, this is going to, you don't think this isn't going to move Hades fans to buy Nintendo Switches?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

It's like, wait, why are we limiting this to just one console at launch?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Do you think for Supergiant it could be a thing as well of there's still an indie team? And so for them, slow rolling out to one console at a time is maybe easier for them as opposed to trying to launch everywhere?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I don't buy it, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I'm glad you thought it too. Because I just imagined like the red Nintendo logo with like a maple leaf on it. Some maple syrup. Fucking drizzled on top of that bitch. Nintendo of Canada.

Yeah. I mean, for the stuff that we got on the Switch one, they released the Star Fox 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Star Fox?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
So Starfy came to the West through Switch Online? Yes. Alright, cool. What do they have against Mother 3? I don't know. We gotta all play the fuck out of Starfy is what I'm gathering from the story. If you're watching this, you don't even gotta play it. Remember when Justin Bieber was trying to get streams on Spotify and he just asked his fans to play his music on mute? We gotta do that for Starfy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Oh, this actually looks kinda good. I'll play this game, actually. Starfy looks fire. We all got to boot up Starfy. Yep. Everyone boot it up at 6 p.m.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Because I think that's the only way we're going to get Mother 3 is if Nintendo looks at the Starfy numbers and go, fuck, we got to do this more.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Sure. Did you see the like in like a different Nintendo event in a different country? They did confirm that it was the Odyssey team. Did you see this floating around? I'm going to see if I can find it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I can't find what I'm looking for, Chad. If you can find where some other Nintendo executive was saying that it was Odyssey Team, write it into You're Wrong or Super Chatted or something, because... Yeah, I think I'm going to have to dig deep for it. But, I mean, I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I would like to pray and hope that us not seeing Mother 3 yet means that it's not just going to be a drop on Switch Online. Like, it could be, like, an actual... Like, oh, we're re-releasing it, or we're finding a way to, like...

I just want to explore. That thing is... And Nintendo, here's the thing about Nintendo, right? They're weird, but they're also smart. Because they want you to have a specific kind of experience with the thing. And if I didn't have a guy standing there, I would have been meandering. I would have been looking at every corner.

I'm trying to say a thing about terrorists. Kevin's dying in the background. We need the levity. We got Starfleet shit happening, right? I think based on the... I'm not going to get the exact number, right? Because it's days ago. But I think it was like a 42% somewhere around that for Vietnam. And so I think the loose math was that somewhere like 650 or something like that. I'll prepare...

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
For somewhere around that, I think if we're luckier, it's going to come to like maybe 600. Or if the tariffs get reversed, then like we'll see. But I mean, I don't know. I don't know how this math works. I'm also not an economist.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I was just saying that San Francisco is just a different planet of a city sometimes. And so it's like, I'll see things and I'm like, man, that's really beautiful that it's happening. And then I learned that the middle, like, or not even the middle, everywhere else in the country is just not on the same wavelength as like what San Francisco is doing.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I mean, yeah, I think that's the thing is it also comes back to because this is I assume about the Hades 2 thing, right? Like I think there's a for me talking about it. It's the difference of like me as an audience member being like, oh damn, that sucks that it's going to be a switch to exclusive versus me trying to understand like the business of it and like the why of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Like I think you can have both things of me being upset about the exclusiveness or exclusivity and then also being like I personally I feel like I understand like why they make this decision.

I said Sonic Frontiers is a 3 out of 5 that I love like a 5 out of 5. That's me showing my bias, but then also me being like, no, I can be real about it. You know what I mean? If Mario came out and Mario was trash, I'd be like, it's a 2 out of 5 that I love like a 10 out of 5.

And I'm biased to Nintendo. You know what I mean? That's all I'm saying. Yo, Nintendo, I thought they were about to announce Bloodborne 2, and I was gonna be fucking excited about it. Like, I don't give a fuck. Whatever deals you gotta make, make it happy, you know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I don't know what that means. I don't know what you're talking about. But I mean, that kind of echoes a little bit of what I was talking about earlier, though. Hades 2 coming to PC, early access, and already being announced for like a year and a half already makes this weird. I think that's what they're saying, right? Yeah. But the last part I didn't really get.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
But like, yeah, I think that makes it weird. I think that makes it odd. I think that makes people on Xbox and PlayStation feel like something is being taken away from them. But, yeah, this happens, I mean, this happens, like, I think, like, once every year or so, right? Of, like, I remember going back to when Tomb Raider, I think it's either Shadow of the Tomb, no, Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Rise of the Tomb Raider was announced as an Xbox One exclusive. Fucking bizarre. Like, what are we doing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I think the bit of difference here is mainly the fact of like, I think we have enough of the understanding of how these things happen or how these deals work where we know that those games, that Hades 2 is going to come to PlayStation and Xbox by next year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25

The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
You know what I mean? This is one of those ones where I'm kind of jealous to not be on a stream, especially coming off of playing the entire punk again at the switch to event being like, man, I fucking love this game. And also this game looks so beautiful. I cannot wait to see how this looks on a 50, 90 bless. You're always welcome to join them. I mean, I'll come down. I like it.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
A lot more reviews in for the Last of Us Season 1, I'll also say. I think 10% of the reviews in currently.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah, this is my thing. It's the sucky thing of I got into it during the review process too late because we were reviewing South of Midnight. We had the New York trip, which already had us being busy last week. And then I think there was one other thing. It might have been First Berserker Kazan as well that kept me busy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I think they're interesting, but also I could have seen this coming as far as, I guess, the mixed nature of it, right? Because I think if there's one thing I can say about The Last of Us TV show is that I think the core of just... like television, like TV making, filmmaking, whatever you want to call it, right? Like, it's got that down pat. It's got that solid, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I assume the cinematography is going to be good. I assume the performances are going to be good. I assume the sets and, like, the presentation and how things look and all that stuff is going to be good, right? My one concern this whole time is, all right, how are they going to translate this story to TV? And, like, seeing that the overall Rotten Tomatoes is... in the 90s, I'm like, okay, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
We got something here. They figured something out. Reading into the reviews of where people are finding some faults in it, I think kind of lead back to the conversations we've had already of how do you translate this into TV?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
How do you do the thing of taking a story that is complete in a game over the course of a package, over the course of one installment in a game, and turn that into multiple seasons? I think we can all assume of where this thing maybe, probably cuts off, or like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I think for me, I read these and I can imagine how people are probably going to leave with a sense of like, oh damn, we just got to get season three. We got to see the rest of this thing. It only feels half complete. Because that is what happens when you pause. When you have the cutting off point in the middle of the game. So I'm not...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I'm not surprised by this, but I am curious to see how it sits with me. Because I think for me, hearing you read these and for me reading the reviews myself, I don't know how I'm going to like or dislike how they tackle the story yet. What about you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25

What's your reaction?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I think that's where I want to start with this trailer, where it's tough for me, I think oftentimes with trailers for games that are somewhat known quantities, it is tough for me to watch a trailer and get super excited, because I look at this gameplay-wise, and I'm like, okay, cool, it's more GTA
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
like it's more GTA it's in Vice City there's drugs there's guns there's sex there's robberies like everything that I'm seeing in this trailer is GTA and so like I think as far as that aspect of it I'm kind of like alright cool yeah we got another trailer but when you talk about the amount of ass that we're seeing in this trailer I think that is one thing that does stick out to me in the sense of right now there's a movie that's out that people are loving people are watching people are into it's called Sinners have you guys seen Sinners?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
yes I have No, I'm not horny ass movie. Okay. So it's a horny ass movie. And I think the thing that for me, I love about that. I think what a lot of people are loving about it is that it is like authentically horny. You know what I mean? Like it is like, there's something about it where it's like, Oh damn, y'all have leaned into this in a way where this brings the characters together.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
It's not just sexy and horny for the sake of being sexy and horny. It is a connective tissue between the characters to really drive home what you're trying to do as far as their relationships and their dynamics and how this person responds to this person and all that stuff. I love that we're doing a Bonnie and Clyde thing here where the main characters, is it Jason and Lucia? Or Luca? Lucia?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Let me know. Chat, correct me. But seeing how much of it goes back and forth between I'm Jason, I'm working out, I'm fucking hot, and also, like, I'm doing crimes or robbing trucks or doing all this shit, but then every other scene we're also banging and, like, loving each other, right? Like, that gets me excited on a narrative level of... It gets you excited for sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I mean, it gets me excited, but it gets me excited on a narrative level of... Yeah, of course. Oh, this is... I don't think we've seen this as much in a Grand Theft Auto as far as two characters being this into each other. This kind of dynamic between two characters. I think oftentimes GTA leans way more into the satire and violence and the ridiculousness of it. But there's an off...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
authentic nature to this relationship between these two characters that I'm already feeling off of this show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I think the rumors were that you were playing both the characters.

Kev, can you replay that part real quick? I want to see if that's just pure cutscene. I would love if They talk about, with every Rockstar game I feel, of improving the combat, like the hand-to-hand combat. I'd love to actually see.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Yeah, but more so, there's a reason why you include that in the trailer. And it could just be we're building Jason's character. Jason loves himself. Jason works out. Jason's whole thing is that he's hot. But it also could be a cool allusion to, oh, we're bringing back some of those mechanics that people might miss from a GTA San Andreas. But here's the thing, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
It's tough because if they have that in the game where they let you work out, then they, in my opinion, they also got to let you get fat.

It's Rockstar.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
mean i think a story like this has to be tragic toward the ending in some way right either jason dies because he's this undercover cop and he's been lying right or lucia dies and it's this tragic thing i and i here's the thing gta 5 spoilers for gta 5 that's the thing that we're doing right like and this isn't like much of a spoiler but you choose how that game ends right there are the decisions and that have major impacts on character fates

Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Well, I was going to say, do you run that back again? I don't think you run that back again for the next game. I think that's too predictable. And especially a rock star that has put out both Red Dead 1 and 2, I feel like they become a bit more confident in like, no, we're going to break people's hearts. We're just going to do it. We got to do it.

I would think maybe at least for the beard, right? That might be more difficult to do with hair with the different hairstyles that people might want on the spot and stuff.

Drayquan Priest is described as more of a hustler than a gangster. I said that in the most white way possible. He's more of a hustler than a gangster. Quote, even when he was dealing on the streets to make ends meet, breaking into music was the goal.

Rockstar is really good. But I feel like the problem with it is that I don't think they'd make a Rockstar pun. I think they'd make some kind of GTA pun. Rockstar doesn't really do a lot of inputting themselves in the game.

Raul Batista is a seasoned bank robber. Oh, here we go. Yes! Always on the hunt for talent ready to take risks that bring the biggest rewards. I'll be honest. This all just sounds like a GTA game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Okay. That's fair. I honestly, and we'll read the rest of this and get to this. I think this is going to be even more of an online feature than the single player feature. Because heists were the way you did raids in GTA Online, essentially. And they turned into a big thing for online. And I think having a central person to be like, all right, this is your heist guy. Oh.

Rockstar says, quote, Raul's recklessness raises the stakes with every score. Sooner or later, his crew will have to double down or pull their chips from the table. End quote. Finally, Brian Heder is a drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the keys.

Still moving product through his boatyard with his third wife, Lori. Yeah. Brian's been around long enough to let others do his dirty work. Brian's letting Jason live rent-free at one of his properties. Oh, it's like J. Cole and his... You know what? Too deep of a reference. That's a J. Cole reference.

Because J. Cole was chilling at Muhammad's crib. Muhammad let J. Cole... Anyway, so long as he helps with local shakedowns and stops by for Lori Sangria once in a while.

I love the idea that, like, there's a division at Rockstar that, like, was the animal hunting division for Red Dead Redemption 2, and they're like, you gotta give us something to do. We're sitting on our asses.

Well, look at them.

Holy goddamn. So good. Jake Collado writes in and says, is the $100 price tag now a justifiable price? Well, it's not confirmed. I was going to say, you're asking this like we know that this is going to be $100.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
It's going to be over $70. I think it's going to be, right now, I think it's going to be $80. I think it's $100. I don't think that's crazy. But I'm going to sit on $80 and pray and hope that it's not more than that. I think once you get to $100, it starts to get to the thing of not the question of will people buy it, because people will buy it, but $100 gets to a place where I do think that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
You start to cut out some people. Oh, it's got an eel?

Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I feel like once you get to three figures for a video game. I know, I know, I know, but it's not stopping anything. It starts to get egregious.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
If anybody's going to do it, it's going to be them. Yes. But I also don't think that anybody can pull it off. It will break the video game industry. If anybody else tries to do $100 after GTA 6 does $100, I think they're in for a rude awakening. Basketball. I don't think Assassin's Creed Hexy is going to come out afterwards and be like, oh, it's $100.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
It's like, all right, good luck with your failure then.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
And maybe it's like... So, like, you're saying they sell GTA Online separately. Yes. They sell GTA Online separately. I don't think so, man. I don't think you do that. What if you did sell GTA Online separately?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I think Shark, that's the thing is, I think you sell a $100 version with Shark cards.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
But I think they want anybody who has GTA single player to have online. Like, I think they want people to go, oh, I just played 30 hours of GTA 6 single player. I want to play more. Let me hop into the online mode. Like, I think they want that natural... What if there is some type of like... And also think about how many people are buying it just for the online.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
This is a chat. They for sure do Red Dead Online by itself. I don't know if they do online by itself. I think we got to a place where GTA Online...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Yeah. Everyone's gonna like it. My thing remains still that GTA, the strategy they had with GTA 5, where it is GTA single-player and GTA Online... Made that the best-selling video game of all time. I don't think you fix what's not broken. I think you just keep with it where it's like, all right, we know how valuable of a package this is. You want to talk about people showing up for $100.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Yeah, people will do that because they know the value of that single player plus that online. I think once you start breaking it up and doing different things with it, you miss out on the upcharge of, oh, but now if you buy... the most expensive shark card pack. It comes with the game and all these things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Like I think it's, it's going to be more of a strategy of how do we get everybody to buy like one expensive thing as opposed to like splitting up, splitting it up in a way that's like not going to mean not going to retain the, that individual player every, every single time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I don't think you have to. I don't think you do. I think you get an online trailer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
You have to talk about it. When I look at Rockstar, I look at a company that hasn't changed in decades as far as how they operate with this shit. The GTA 5 trailer rolled out felt similar to the Red Dead 2 one, which still feels similar to how they're doing GTA 6 now. I think probably early 2026, you get one GTA Online trailer that is the last thing to wow us.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I think right now we're getting the single player stuff because they know that's going to get that core audience in. That's going to get everybody in. Everybody's excited for GTA 6 no matter what. I think that last stretch is going to be the, hey, here's the online trailer. It comes out a month after GTA 6 and it's already included in the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Is it a month?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I think it's a month. I think it's a month or less. We just wait.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Free online? No. No shot. It's not going to be free to play. They don't need to do that. Zero shot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I don't even think you need to do that. Yeah. You got to think about why people go free to play, right? Like you go free to play so you can get an audience so that you can have those like post, like launch transactions, those back transactions. They don't need that. They have the player base no matter what. You get to make anywhere from $60 to $100 off of every package.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I think the different time, different business strategy works for every other company that's not Rockstar. I think it is such a unicorn of a video game where when you look at GTA 6, let's assume it sells 10 million in one day, and that's me being conservative about it. Why do you need free-to-play? Yeah. You already have 10 million players.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Has there ever been a barrier for GTA 5 as far as it not being free to play? If anything, it's been the opposite where it's sold more copies than anything. I think free to play is for those companies that really benefit from having it be no barriers. Like, hey, come on in. Play Fortnite. Buy the Battle Pass.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
someone pointed out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
And I do want to mention, right? Like when I'm talking about it, not being free to play, I'm not saying that it's not going to have a battle pass in hell of micro transactions. I think, I think that's going to be it. Like when you want to talk about the business strategy changing, I think that's where they take inspiration. I think you get, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Like in the way that we talked about the GTA plus subscription, I think you, maybe you see that evolve. into a Battle Pass-like concept, right? Like, I think you're going to have the collaborations with other brands. Fortnite has set such a strong precedent for that. I'm 1,000% sure Rockstar looks at that stuff and goes, oh, that's a good idea. How do we put Batman in our game?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Like, how do we tell... How do we get, like, you know, companies or corporations to get, like, their properties in the game? Granted, it's tough because it's GTA, M-rated, way different from Fortnite, who they can get Cartoon Network characters and all this stuff, right? But, like, I think there's going to be a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I think there's going to be a lot of ways in which they're looking at like the audience that they already have and going, all right, how do we make that money off of that audience?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Oh, shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
You're right. GTA 6 is going to be the marathon, not the sprint. So, yeah, I could see it being 2027. Everything gets pushed. Everything gets pushed. I could see it being 2028. And the way that, Mike, you're talking about private servers and charging for that stuff, that strikes me as more of a feature that maybe the PC audience might be more interested in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
I mean, Rockstar is anything they're business savvy. And so I think that is a reason. I also think it's just the fact of we're talking about a game that just got delayed out of this year to May 26th. I don't think Rockstar, even though they've taken forever on this video game, I don't think they have the luxury of like, let's launch everything perfectly the way we want to on day one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Live Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.06.25
Like, I think it's going to be that step by step. All right. Day one is the launch on consoles. All right. Day 30, we're Going to do online. It's going to struggle for a bit.

Here's my thing. I think if it was going to be announced this year, I think maybe last week would have been the last week to do so. Because I don't think you're going to come out and talk about it this week because it's election. And I... at least America, but I would even feel like some of the world's, like, attention has shifted and, like, focused in on Trump versus Kamala right now, right?

I don't think you get a, to the whole Christmas point, I don't think you get a full reveal whatsoever at Jeff's show. Maybe a tease. Maybe a Nintendo next console coming kind of thing.

I don't know what the Nintendo tone is he put on that, but like, I think you point to full reveal coming in January. Or full reveal coming, February will be too long, but like full reveal coming in January. I could see at Jeff's show.

Let's move on to story number two. Star Wars Outlaws new creative director promises big changes after disappointing sales. This is Ryan Dinsdale at IGN. And I want to throw out a super chat question for this one. What do you want out of Star Wars Outlaws? Does a big update for Star Wars Outlaws do much for you to come back to the game?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Let me know, because I'm not a Star Wars Outlaws person, and I want to hear what people have to say if you're somebody who does care about this, right? Getting into the story, Ubisoft has released its first developer update for Star Wars Outlaws with new creative director Drew Reckner, promising big changes after the open world adventure debuted to disappointing sales.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Reckner said in the update that Ubisoft had been, quote, gathering and actioning players' feedback, end quote, since launch and has identified key areas where it can elevate the game experience to better meet player expectations. Sentiments such as these are often seen in the wake of disastrous game launches, but Star Wars Outlaws debuted to positive reviews.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Poor sales shook a struggling Ubisoft, however, and it is now working to improve the game ahead of what it hopes will be a sales bump alongside its Steam launch and the holiday period. This will result in Star Wars Outlaws getting revamped combat, stealth, and controls.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Quote, the first key area of improvement to the game is combat, where we see a real opportunity to add more depth and excitement to the experience, further rewarding your tactics and precision, Reckner said. Our second key area is stealth, which is not only about improving the readability and consistency of enemy detection, but also providing choice in how you want to approach each encounter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Finally, our third key area of focus is centered around the character controls, which means improving the reliability of cover, increasing the responsiveness of climbing and crouching, and generally improving the consistency of the controls overall." These changes will be made when update 1.4 arrives on November 21st, the same day Star Wars Outlaws launches on Steam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

So I'm like, I can't be stuck with these three packs.

Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
From the outside looking in, it surprises me because the article mentions itself. Like, Star Wars Outlaws was received good. I know a lot of people who weren't feeling it right. I was like, kind of funny. I know Greg and Barrett didn't give it a good review, right? They didn't enjoy it. But from what I see, plenty of people do. And overall, Metacritic seems good. The reviews seem good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
What are we doing? I mean, that's the thing that surprises me here is that right now their response is to go, all right, let's revamp shit. Like, let's go in, let's update it, let's fix things, let's make it better or whatever, which is cool, which is awesome, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Let's go in, fix shit, like, yeah, do all that stuff. I'm just surprised that is, this almost feels reactionary to, oh, the game wasn't good enough, let's go in. Let's do all this shit.

And I'm like, I don't know if your problem wasn't that you're not good enough. The problem, I think, maybe was the release. Maybe it was that the word of mouth wasn't strong enough for this game. Maybe it is that maybe this is a game that not as many people were asking for as we thought they were, right? And I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Maybe inherently part of it is that it is, I think, at its core, Ubisoft style open world game, which we've gotten a lot of. There have been so many Far Cries. There have been so many Assassin's Creed. There was Immortal Phoenix Rising. People have played this style of game a lot. And I think the people that are going to show up for a Star Wars version of that, they are who they are.

We do have a couple of Super Chats answering the Super Chat question here. Elliot Duke writes in and says, I like Outlaws, but I hate what Ubisoft is doing with studios at the moment, like what they did to the Prince team. I hope the DLC is better than the base, though. And then Daniel Alonzo writes in and says, the problem was released in the game day and date on Ubisoft.

Yeah. This is one of those ones where I wish I could be on a fly on the wall at Ubisoft for the conversations around it. Because I think leading into it, I guess I was a bit more on the side of this needs to be a hit for Ubisoft. Like, they're looking at this to be a gigantic hit. You got Massive on it. You got Massive on it.

It's a big IP, right? Like, you're positioning it, like, as a... I know it didn't come out in fall, technically. But it came out in August, which is fall adjacent. I don't want to have this argument again. But, like, you're putting it out, I think, at a prime spot for it, right? And, like, it feels like it got... somewhat of an equivalent marketing push as, like, the next Assassin's Creed, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Yeah. I just don't know if, this game had the stuff as far as like, what it needed to be. We've gotten a lot of Star Wars games now, I think is the thing now. Jedi, the two Jedi games we've gotten, I think are way more high profile and way more exciting than what Star Wars Outlaws is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
You're getting to play as a Jedi, you're getting to have this cool adventure that is linear, action-y, has almost souls-y type of combat. That's really appealing to people. We've had the Battlefronts. We've had a lot of Star Wars games. We had that pilot game where we were dogfighting in the sky. That was a lot of fun. Yep, we had that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24

Assassin's Creed 3 arrived in 2012, however, Sokote had admitted the franchise has struggled to find a strong modern day story in more than a decade. This has certainly been a point of frustration for fans over the years, some of whom have complained the modern day storyline has no real direction and only detracts from the main game.

But when I think of Assassin's Creed, especially like this era of Assassin's Creed, 1, 2, 3, Brotherhood, Revolution, all that stuff, Revelations. I think of my friend James Koltoff from back in the day. And like James and Stevie, they were very into Assassin's Creed. And I would overhear them talk about the modern day storyline and being so into it.

And then at some point, I just stopped hearing people talk about it. I was just like, oh. And maybe it was because it was post-Assassin's Creed 3, right? But like...

Let's start off with story number one. Analysts say that the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement is now unlikely before the end of 2024. This is Wesley Yenpool at IGN.

Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
The Switch is now in its eighth year and sales have continued to fall, with Nintendo today cutting its revenue and profit forecasts for the current financial year. All Nintendo has said is it will announce the Switch successor by the end of the current fiscal year, which means an announcement by the end of March 2025.

Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Despite the pressure Nintendo is under, company president Shuntaro Furukawa today said that there was no change to the company's plan to announce its next-gen console in the current fiscal year, but failed to go into specifics, according to Reuters. So, when will Nintendo finally pull the curtain back on Switch 2?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Reuters quoted Toyo Securities analyst Hideki Yasuda, who said an announcement is unlikely by the end of the calendar year. Quote, making an announcement this year has gotten quite difficult, Yasuda said. Quote, you would not want to divert attention to an upcoming console in the middle of the critical year-end shopping season, end quote.

Joining me is the master of hype, Snowbike Mike.

Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
If that prediction is on the mark, fans now face having to wait until January at the earliest for a Switch 2 announcement. As for a release date, the console is not expected to launch during Nintendo's current financial year, so April 2025 at the earliest. Mike?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Yeah, I've been thinking back to the Wii U to Switch transition, and I think me and Tim in our predictions were thinking that it was going to go a similar way, but the more I think about it, especially coming off of this story about the dip in sales that you see for Nintendo hardware currently, now that we're eight years into the Switch life cycle, I think it does make sense for them to go, hey, let's play this holiday out, let's let the Switch do its thing, because this is inherently different from what the Wii U transition to the Switch was, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Wii U was
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
dead it was DOA right like it sold chat you can correct me if I'm wrong what like 13 million units or something like that right it was not a selling console by the time you got around to the switch I think it was the thing of just announce it like get it get it out in front of people we don't care if it cannibalizes the Wii U because guess what the Wii U isn't doing anything anyway yeah I think right now with the switch even a low period for the switch I imagine they're still selling a lot of units compared to just your regular game console and so let's not step on it for the rest of the year that does make me wonder and think about like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
what does that look like for announcing a switch let's say in 2025 and the road to release like mike if you had to get into speculation station yeah roger i don't know if you have speculation station abilities if you had to go to speculation there it is thank you thank you roger if you had to go to speculation station when do you think we get the first announcement slash reveal of the switch to and then when do you think we get release
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Yeah, it's a little flip because I heard the streets are saying that tomorrow we're doing a little Pokemon TCG review. Woo! Oh, I just lost. No. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
I don't think that's a bad prediction at all. I still lean towards, I think we'll see it come out in the first half of the year. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
The calendar year. So like before June is where I'm at. Just because like it was originally said that the Switch 2 was supposed to come out this fall and then they ended up pushing it into next year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
I'd be surprised if you push a Switch 2 all the way, like a full calendar year forward. It's not impossible. In fact, I don't even think it's unlikely, but I would just be surprised if you push it out that far, right? For what you imagine has to be them wanting to make sure that they're getting the launch library right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
I think, especially right now with how the Switch 1 sales have dipped, I think you want to have this out
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
earlier maybe you can get a couple of waves of yeah like if you put out in june get that first wave of sales and then come holiday season you get a second wave of sales i think nintendo they're really good about sitting on on software and like having things ready to go and so like if we if we're gonna do a repeat of last time where first half of the year we got zelda breath of the wild and then the second half of the year you got a mario odyssey right between that you got games like arms or splatoon uh two i believe was that fun ones like that yeah yeah like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
I think they want to have a similar sort of situation. I think if you can come out in June and launch with a Mario or a Mario cart or something, that's major like that. Right. And then come out later in the year with another major title. I think that'd be pretty big. And I, I think they want that. like at least six months of hype for the Switch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
I think by the time you get to next holiday season, I think they're talking about re-promoting it and like getting a new, unique, big piece of software out. I don't think you're wanting to do all that at the same time. But of course we've seen console launches. That's usually how it goes with an Xbox or PlayStation. You get that console out in November and you get a large launch library.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
And like, that's just what is what it is. And so anything's on the table. As far as when we hear about it, I'm going to say, I wouldn't be surprised with January.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
January, February. I'm not mad at January, February, because I think we look at those months as the chill months. If you're going to announce something, I think that's the time to do it. And when you look at the slate of games Nintendo has...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
What, the first few months have, I believe Donkey Kong Country Returns is January, Xenoblade Chronicles X is like March, and I believe they have a February game that might also be a remaster. Chat, let me know. you got to have more to talk about. I think at that point it is, that is prime. Let's promote shit season. Let's talk about like our big upcoming games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
Let's remind people that Metroid prime is coming through. Let's talk about like, if you got a Mario, let's announce the Mario sometime during January, February. If you have a Zelda Ocarina remake or something, let's announce it during that time. Like, I think you've got to go hard.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
And what was the last summer console release we got? There's another one for chat to answer if you guys remember, right? Because historically for the Switch one, it was March. March 3rd, 2017. For the last few big PlayStation, Xbox consoles, it's been fall. It's been November.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
I genuinely don't know. I say Cross because, like, usually with names like that, it's Cross. Yeah. And Cross just sounds cooler. So I'll say Sonic Cross Shadow. I mean, it's like they're like multiplying. Someone said they're fucking. Wow, that's crazy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24
But I would like to see it explored. I think there might be something there if you can come out in June. Maybe alongside that E3 season, have press, even though E3 is not a thing, right? But summer game fest season, I guess. Have press ready to come through, play games, demo games, review shit, and have that be a, you are the talk of the town. You are dominating that announcement season.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Announcement Unlikely Before 2025?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.05.24

Today's stories include PlayStation announced a state of play for tomorrow. We got a lot of new The Witcher 4 footage and Mario Kart World previews have dropped. We'll have all this and more because this is kind of funny games daily. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025. I'm one of your hosts, Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Think about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
He said Castlevania.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Yeah. It does, doesn't it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
At the state of play. And that's funny because one of the things I wrote down is that that Greek God of War game will probably actually show up here. Yeah. That's one of my backup predictions. But yeah, I think that makes the most sense. It was kind of tough to place before this state of play was announced.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Because I still do think that no matter what, I think a PlayStation thing is going to show up at Summer Game Fest because it's law. It always happens. Summer Game Fest and Game Awards, you're usually getting some first party thing, whether big or very small. But I think a Greek God of War thing, a side thing, has...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I mean, any PlayStation thing has a likely chance of showing up at a PlayStation State of Play. That's just how things work. And so, yeah, I think that's probably going to happen as far as what it is. I kind of hope... Here's my thing. You're right. As far as if it's a Detraeus or if it's just a regular God of War third-person action game but smaller, I'm totally down for that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
But there's something about... What if they put their full effort into making a Metroidvania-style Prince of Persia The Lost Crown thing? That just speaks to me. And it's funny because, like, I've been Metroidvania, like, haters the wrong word, but, like, I've been apathetic to Metroidvanias, right? Like, I think they're fun, but it's not, like, my favorite genre or anything like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
God of War, though, just works. When you think about, like, the abilities, when you think about the world that God of War is in and, like, the stuff you can do with turning that into a 2D Metroidvania, like, it just makes sense in my brain.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
dude a miles level project done by if you even if you wanted to do like another roguelite style thing but make it standalone this time and a bit more fully featured like i would be down for that i'm down for anything from sony santa monica they're like yeah i mean that's that's a great way to put it yeah uh my next prediction a few months ago it was unveiled to the world team lfg a new playstation studio uh on the playstation blog they wrote this about their first game
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Yes, I'll make that official because, yeah, my official thing that I have written here is a family-friendly MOBA where you build up damage percentage on characters to knock them back further distances. It looks surprisingly fun. That's part of my prediction is that I think we'll see this trailer and go, this is weird and bizarre, but also we fuck with it a little bit. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
And then, yeah, you play as frogs, which I believe will imply ribbits. I love that. Yes. That's my second prediction right there.

PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
It just looks sick. I remember seeing this trailer and getting hints of just a bunch of different types of games. I think there was a moment where I was like, oh, Shadow Claw. Yeah, seeing this, I was like, oh, this feels like Shadow Colossus as she's climbing and there's a fucking big old creature in the background.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Tim, speaking of things going on, I've been talking about how in the last few weeks, I've been going to LA back and forth nonstop because there have been hella preview events and things going on. One of the preview events I went to was for the new Riot card game, Riftbound.

You know what? I understand that. I understand that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
It looks like they went into Tim's brain and used AI. One of the parts he likes the most. They went to chat GPT and they're like, make a Tim Geddes-ass game and chat GPT and spit it out. My third and final prediction, Marathon is not mentioned at all. That's it. That's the prediction. We don't hear the word Marathon. The most you might see is a montage of the rest of 2025. That would be crazy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
That's a prediction. That's what I'm here for. I'm here for crazy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
With everything that's happened in the last, like, has it only been a month? Of, like, the, whatchamacallit, piracy, not piracy, but the theft, like, the art theft situation and how that seemed to, like, spawn articles about, like, Like how work is going over there and like how morale is the word I was looking for.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Morale being low and like seemingly marketing plans for the summer are shifting and what they had for late summer is now being turned from a demo to like a different thing. I feel like they're in disarray right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
My other thing, too, is what do you have to say about Marathon at this point?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
You know what? Fair. They're like, we're up in the price. Buy this for $80 now.

Yeah, no, I feel that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Yes. And that's why I don't think we'll see it tomorrow. I think that's what they're doing. So I'm rooting for your prediction. Yeah. All right. Those are our three predictions each. I want to hop into Super Chat to see what you guys are saying. Just to blaze through a couple here. I see Wiener writes in and says, $2 for Snow Mike, Mike's health.

Of course, Mike is home sick because he went to Disney World five days in a row. See, he splits and writes in and says, nice jacket blast. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I'm going to skip some of these to get to more prediction talk, but I appreciate the person who's referencing Wicked for good. CJ Splitson says, Soros appears with a new parry system. Parry bullet hell.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
We will see Soros gameplay. Tomorrow? Mm-hmm. I'm 50-50. Yeah. I feel like that's one you could save for a September State of Play. You're right. I don't think that has to happen tomorrow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I like that Tim's feeling good about it. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Foxy Steve writes in and says, I think we get Phantom Blade Zero release date at State of Play. They did announce that this year is the year that we're going to get the release date.

Um... Shayna Duffy writes in and says, I think Tim mentioned yesterday during SGF predictions, but definitely seems more likely RE9 could be at State of Play. We talked about that. Yeah, I would think, yeah, State of Play feels like such a slam dunk because every Resident Evil for the last half decade has been, if not longer. The last five of them.

Matt DeHart says, Bloodborne content being added to Night Rain will be a cool announcement from PlayStation. Hopefully not as a console exclusive though. Man, Matt, I would fuck with that so heavy. That would be so cool. I don't think that's going to happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I think FromSoft, one, I think having to make that deal as far as, all right, we want Bloodborne stuff in Night Rain, but we don't want to make it exclusive. I think that would be too much of a thing to navigate. And I think FromSoft wants to probably like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
claim their identity more right like i don't think they want to do more things that are going to connect them to playstation necessarily granted there was there was the whole remember when playstation invested in katakawa yeah and we talked about that for a whole two weeks oh yeah and like nothing's come of it like you know maybe that changes stuff but i'll be surprised even though that'd be really cool uh morris wayne writes in with a very important question what are the odds we see wolverine tomorrow
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I understand what you're saying.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
When do you think Wolverine is coming out?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I'm with you there. I think for me, I don't think we get to 2026 without seeing Wolverine again. Now, I don't think so. My prediction would be Game Awards stage at the end of this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I think Wolverine is one of those things where you want to have for a... This is one of those ones where when we talk about State of Play versus PlayStation Showcase, and even though I just conflate them together and I think PlayStation just freestyles with it, I think as soon as Wolverine enters the picture, it becomes a PlayStation Showcase.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Now, like I mentioned before, Riftbound is Riot's new card game. It's based off of League of Legends. It's kind of their attempt slash, I think, second attempt at a TCG, a trading card game. And going there last week, I thought it was going to be straight up like, okay, you guys are making a match at the Gathering. Like, I've seen the videos.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
But that's one of those things where if we saw Wolverine this week, now knowing that this is for sure a state of play, I would almost expect it more at Jeff show than to see it tomorrow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I like, Yeah, I'm trying to think of a scenario where PlayStation would even announce that, like, outside of a big showcase, like, it could be an end of a state of play kind of thing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
But I think more likely a PlayStation showcase, a Game Awards, a Summer Game Fest, like, whatever the top tier is of showcase, I think that's what you save Wolverine for, especially when you have these options. I mean, let's take out the where it's going to be. I mean, Hyper Games is Comic-Con. That's also... No. I think that's a decent option.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
San Diego Comic-Con?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Yeah. Like, it's not impossible. Yeah. It'd be pretty cool, but, like, I don't expect it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Because I think my thinking, too, goes to the roster of PlayStation games we have announced and where things fall. Because we know we got Intergalactic. We know we got Sorrows. We know we got Wolverine. Wolverine was announced before, like, as far as the big games. Yeah, the showcase, right? Like, Wolverine was announced first.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Now, production schedules, scope, all these, like, I wouldn't be surprised to get Sorrows before Wolverine. I think we will. Yeah, and, like, so, in terms of dominoing that out, right? Like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
yeah i don't think i think wolverine is like later in the year maybe if it's coming out in 2026 like let's say sorrows let's say first half of 2026 and the wolverine maybe fall september 2026 that'd be awesome that'd be crazy god that'd be a good year uh some more from super chats uh dj kento says come on capcom give me stationary camera and tank controls do it cowards it's what the fans want in d-pad only no analog stick of course talking about resident evil there
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
It's funny, when I read that first sentence, I thought DJ Kento was just saying, like, a Capcom anything, which would have led me to your prediction yesterday about Marvel versus Capcom, because that, for me, feels like more of a PlayStation State of Play thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Like, you guys have the mana that you spend to then play creatures and do all that stuff. All right, cool. I know what this is. Getting my hands on this, I was very, very impressed by how new and fresh this felt. And I say that as somebody who I've not played every TCG, obviously, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I would put it at a very high percentage. Even if it's not Capcom, though, we see a fighting game tomorrow. I think PlayStation has done such a good job pretty much every year at their state of plays of having some major fighting game of consequence. We're in a weird place now where it's like, what would that game be? Would it be too early for another Realm thing? Probably.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Arc System Works has been quite a few years since their last big release.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I feel like that's... That's due. I would say Arc System Works next game would make sense for tomorrow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Good one. One more I'll take from Super Chats before we move on. Shaggy Sasquatch writes in and says, Actual gameplay of Ghost of Yotei. And they go on to also say Soros. Intergalactic gameplay trailer. Wolverine or Zomniac trailer. Cory Barlog game tease. The two things I want to pull from here is Ghost of Yotei. I feel like that's a guarantee. For this week at least.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
And then Corey Barlog's next game. I just don't think so. It could. It definitely could. That I put in the same Wolverine conversation. Alright, that's where I'm cutting off the State of Play predictions. That was a very good conversation. We're getting long in the tooth here, but we got other big news to talk about like The Witcher 4.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I dabble. I like Valorant. 2KXL coming. 2XKL's coming, and I'm like super hyped. I know, nobody ever gets it right. Yeah, 2XKL.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
And we're back. And if you're watching the video version, you can see right now, Tim's gone. Now, what happened during the break? Me and Tim had a conversation about how big of a news day it is. And let me tell you, story number two here is about The Witcher 4. And like all The Witcher 4 stuff we saw. And Tim's going to be back with an update.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
But me and Tim were having a back and forth conversation of what makes sense for coverage. Because it's such a big news day. We have State of Play predictions. After this is Xbox predictions. And we want to make sure we're giving this Witcher 4 news the space that it needs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I appreciate it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Because there's so much to break down with that. And let me tell you, I don't know how much of that video you watched of The Witcher 4. Enough. It's crazy. It's incredibly impressive. And so that's more content for your eyes and ears right there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
So the quick hit for store number two will be that, yeah, The Witcher 4 has been shown running on PS5 in a stunning new demo footage as part of the Unreal Engine 5 event. And there's a lot of footage there. So that's a quick hit for you. We'll talk about that a couple videos from now. For now, let's move on to story number three. Mario Kart World previews are up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
We just got to jump out the plane sometimes. But yeah, 2XKL I'm very excited about, and those have the same characters from the League of Legends universe. I've seen Arcane, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
We got a preview roundup for you, starting off with one from Michael McWherter at Polygon, who writes, Your mileage may vary, but after spending half a day playing with Mario Kart World's various modes across dozens of new and reimagined racetracks, the headline-grabbing price tag for Nintendo's Switch 2 flagship launch title is starting to feel earned."
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
During an all-day hands-on event with Switch 2 in New York City last week, I spent four hours with the game and still barely scratched the surface of the kart racing game's depths. In fact, I only lightly touched Mario Kart World's all-important free-roam mode where hundreds of collectibles and missions await.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
A good chunk of my time with Mario Kart World was spent playing through the game's various Grand Prix courses, competing against 23 computer-controlled opponents. Starting with a fresh save file, I wound up unlocking a handful of characters. Donkey Kong, Daisy, Rosalina, Lakitu, and Catacwack. Catacwack? Do you know Catacwack? Catacwack? Catacwack. I know all those other names. I know Lakitu.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
What the fuck is a cataquack?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I dip my toe in here and there, and I think Riot is doing a great job of making League of Legends something that you can get into beyond just League of Legends, the MOBA video game, which I really like and appreciate because... As they were talking about these characters and showing off this stuff, I was like, oh, I like this. Oh, I like that. Oh, I like... I wonder if this is one of the decks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
But I don't think that's a cataquack. It is! I'm such a loser! Yeah, people in chat are saying Sunshine, so that means it's not canon. That's what that means. These motherfuckers. I mean, I didn't play Sunshine. I don't play that shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
He's too good at games. Every other Mario game is the best, though. So when you're the one game that's not the best, that means you're fucking the worst.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Wow. A Game Boy game that's not Pokemon is bad? That's crazy. What? A Game Boy game that's not a Zelda or a Pokemon? Mario Land 2, still Fox. I mean, I fuck with that. Yeah, no, that's a good opinion. But yeah, Cataclack. You can unlock those characters by winning cups or through one of Mario Kart World's new items.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
In some races, the magical Koopa Kamek would inflict his wizard's curse on my character, temporarily transforming my Guy Toad into one of the game's other characters, like, say, a Cataclack from Mario Sunshine. All right, so it's right there. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
But thanks to Kamek's trickery, I then got access to Cataclack as a racer, one of the many new NPC racers that push Mario Kart World's playable roster to well over 100 characters. I'm gonna jump from that preview over to Logan Plant's preview from IGN, who says, sadly, the rest of free roam hasn't gripped me yet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
IGN's Simon Carty wrote a feature sharing his concerns about the open world mode, and while I think I'm a little higher on it than he is so far, I agree with the general sentiment that there's just not that much to do outside of the P-switches.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
There are collectibles scattered throughout by way of peach medallions and question mark block panels that unlock one of hundreds of stickers you can slap on the side of your cart. But the ones I found felt neither special nor difficult to discover, and I missed the feeling of surprise and delight that other Nintendo games like Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Odyssey completely nailed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
He continues, Mario Kart World might just have one of the greatest soundtracks in Nintendo history. Each course has its own dedicated theme as usual, but beyond that, the remixes that played during Free Roam and Knockout Tour make Mario Kart World feel like a proper celebration of Super Mario's 40th anniversary.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Okay, the deck I want to mention isn't here, so I'm not going to say it, just in case. But there are certain characters where I'm like, oh, I fuck with this deck, and now I fuck with this character. You know what I mean? Love that. I'm excited for Riftbound. Sadly, Mike's been sick this week, and I wanted to play this with him.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
In my short time with the game, I heard references to Super Mario Brothers, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario 3D World, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, pretty much every past Mario Kart and a lot more. Each track I heard was beautifully remixed to fit Mario Kart World's adventurous road trip vibe, and I can't wait to hear every tune it has to offer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I think that's the thing that I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
do love about this and even the with our predictions that this was going to be Mario Kart crossover like we're going to have all the different Nintendo franchises I think the fact that we're comparing like what they do with Super Smash Brothers to this but it is all just Mario franchise kind of makes this special in a way different way because I mean I love Smash Brothers for a
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
giving me all these different tracks, right? Like, what Super Smash Bros. did for Sticker Brush Symphony for me... Oh, yeah, dude. That Sticker Brush Symphony remix is an all-timer. Incredible. An all-timer, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
But I think there's something about focusing in on just the music of the Mario franchise specifically that allows me to kind of, like, yeah, go in and make remixes of very specific tracks that can, I think... I don't know, be special in a way different way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Oh, dude. He's going to be so fucking excited for this thing. And so I'm excited for what this sparks with me and Mike because we get to get in on the ground floor. I love that. Magic is already like a big ocean. This is now growing. It's a jungle. It's a jungle. So we get to grow with it.

Don't even play as Gabe Logan. I just don't want to do this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Yeah. I think the dream of a Mario Kart... Forza Horizon type experience. Always kind of felt like a dream, but the fact that they've gotten this close with it even, I'm like, alright, cool. This might be the thing to maybe divide people a little bit to go, ah, yeah, this mode isn't as full-fledged or as jam-packed as I want it to be, but It's still Mario Kart. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Like you still have all the other things in there, the Grand Prix and all that stuff. And I'm sure I'm still going to have fun with the open world stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
That's enough to like make this be a step forward for Mario Kart. Exactly. Story number four, we got some Sifu thing being teased over on Twitter by at Sifu game where they say, they put up an image and they say, it's not just what you wear, it's what you represent. We've got a surprise for you on June 19th. And they have like just a bunch of silhouettes here of characters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
My guess is Sifu skins for rematch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
It is a League of Legends thing. Jungling. Yeah, I see that. But yeah, shout out to Riftbound and Riot for letting me attend the summit and also sending me home with the trial decks. And can't wait to talk about it more in the future. But for now, remember, this is kind of Funny Games Daily.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
It's the fact it's like the caption here is not just what you wear. Right. So then what are we talking about as far as skins, cosmetics?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
As a dude.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

so but i when i'm thinking of rematch skins i'm thinking like literally like they put you in the full getup of a sifu oh yeah like a sifu cosmetic is what i'm thinking of but maybe it could be a multiplayer update to sifu but also i don't know how that would make sense with the caption here it's not just what you wear it's what you represent so june 19th when does rematch even come out rematch is out it's june 19th is it really right so it's definitely june

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Yes. I think we're the outlet that evangelizes Sifu the most. I love that for us, man. I'm fine with that. If Sifu is the game that we go down as like we're the Sifu people, we've more than done our job.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
The way that that'll last hours. I do not think I could beat Sifu like that. If I picked it up, maybe I could. Maybe.

It's a fucking, it's from the GTA people, but like they left and then they made a platform called Everywhere. And in Everywhere, you can make different kinds of experiences and games. And this game is gonna live within Everywhere, but I think you can play it outside of Everywhere at the same time. But can I make a game in Everywhere? Does everybody have access to Everywhere?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
roguelike game that is very rough around the edges that's Elden Ring like I don't know if this is gonna like go crazy in sales and now I'm like oh 3.5 million copies in a week okay yeah I should have I should have known my bad my bad Elden Ring I forgot I forgot you're from software and I forgot who you are what that means now what that's fucking awesome congrats from software very very cool
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
But now I'm even more fascinated by the Dustbloods and how that does. I know. Like, I got so many questions about the power from software because now it's like... Elden Ring is one of those IPs where you put on anything and it might just sell millions within hours. Which is scary. And also cool because... I love that for FromSoft. But is it Elden Ring?

I mean, I guarantee, well, brand new IP, we'll see what the dust blows. But I think any proven FromSoftware thing now, if they put out a new Dark Souls for some reason, it's going to sell millions and millions. If they put out a new Bloodborne, oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. How much did Armored Core sell? This is what I want to look into. This next one's from IGN.

PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
We still haven't seen a windmill, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Oh, you're right, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Oh, man, I love Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Me too, man. Me fucking too. This is, like, my problematic fave right here, dude. The game just fucking, oh, they just shat this thing out, and it was, what the fuck?

Let's take a look at some more Super Chats before we wrap up this episode. Artuatron Robo Bartender writes in and says, Kevin brings us the hard-boiled content the community needs. Egg. Volk Dasher says...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
state of play will be bad but ps5 loki has the best roadmap since 2024 when we break it all down all the exclusives in 2024 from all parties and now all that are scheduled uh so suppose so suppose they have a new strategy for announcements bulk dasher i don't know what you're saying man Look, I feel like I agree. I understand the energy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
It's the way you wrote it. I think I understand the energy of what you're saying, but I don't think this... I don't expect State of Plays to be bad necessarily. They're bad sometimes. Like the one where they had all the multiplayer things and it was a PlayStation showcase. That one was bad. I don't think this one's going to be bad.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I think State of Plays do a good job of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
of uh setting expectation i think playstation showcases are where expectations get out of whack and then they use not usually because i think it's only one time honestly where they've disappointed us but i don't think anybody's usually ever actually i'm speaking out of there and i was gonna say nobody's ever overhyped for a state of play that's unequivocally wrong but i think sensible people aren't overhyped that's fair for a state of plays uh jeff bold jr says stop the sunshine hate uh that game ruled listen i call it like i see it
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Which one? Sunshine? Mario Sunshine. The game that you already forgot existed because it's so fucking unappealing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
No, I just didn't hear what you said. Sunshine, man. My bad. It's the GOAT Mario game. My bad, everybody. No, it ain't. I don't know why I'm hating on it so hard.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Tundra Boy says, have we all forgotten about Pragmata? Yes. I won't believe Pragmata exists until we see it again. For me, that game is this generation's deep down. Capcom always has one deep down every generation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
The last time we saw it, it was in a trailer that ended off with a sticky note that said, saw we and a sad face. We're not seeing that game ever again. They spelled it with two W's. Do you not remember that? I love it. They didn't. I made that up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Finn writes in and says Insomniac posted on X heads down working on Wolverine. I think we'll see it either tomorrow or Friday. Hold on. Let me see this because I get the opposite impression if they just type heads down working on Wolverine. I'll check that out later.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I'll do one more. I'll do two more.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
David writes in and says, does the 2D God of War game follow Lego Horizon and come to PC and Switch slash Switch 2 on day one? Holy shit. Yeah, that's a good question. Holy shit. I like that. You're cooking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I agree. I agree with that. And then we'll do one more from Daniel who says, light no fire at State of Play. Sean Murray did the emoji post they do for No Man's Sky updates and the light no fire Twitter retweeted it, which normally doesn't happen. Something might be coming. I think that could also be Summer Game Fest. That strikes me more as a Summer Game Fest thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
You're still thinking about God of War?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
We have five stories today.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Listen, I'm on Insomniac's Twitter page. I'm not seeing anything that this person was talking about. So... Sorry to that guy. Sorry. Sorry to that guy. Sorry dude. Um, yeah, I light no fire. I actually kind of expect to see it in the next week, but I, I will lean more towards summer game fest.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Getting a new song.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
No. Are you? I mean, define expecting. I think it's a possibility. Oh, me too. Yeah, I guess.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
So what, we had Resident Evil... What was 7 called? Biohazard?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
We had Resident Evil Village after that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
It's going to come down to where this Resident Evil takes place, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Interesting. So do you think they're going back to classic, or I guess middle era Resident Evil?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. I fuck with it. And what do you think as far as window 2026? This year? No. This fall?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Sabrina Carpenter. It's happening.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Yeah, I guess that's fair. But yeah, it doesn't feel like a Resident Evil is coming out this fall. It doesn't need to. It's not always this way, right? But I would think maybe a nine-month lead for announcing to release. Yeah, that sounds about right, too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
It's going to be announced for April. I'm pushing one month out. One month out. You're right. Between October and April. Between October and April. I'm there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I like how much detail you're putting into this prediction because I think there's a high chance that Resident Evil 9 is going to be shown tomorrow as far as what it is. I... would be fascinated between the third-person and first-person thing. I think the first-person thing has been working very well for them. Resident Evil Village had faults to it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
it's all connected everybody they had people listen to the show yeah i think mr nintendo heard the podcast and they're like ah snap that's a good idea we got the carpenter on the phone uh it's such a great week i think a state of play being announced was the thing to really pull it all together i think there was something about the week where i'm like all right i'm excited for the switch too i'm excited for summer game fest i'm excited for xbox like you know it's all exciting but i feel like there's that one piece missing and now it's like all
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
But I think the first-person stuff between Village and 7 has actually been pretty revolutionary for the franchise and I think has worked. Now, granted, going back and playing Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Resident Evil 4 Remake, There's a love for third person. Yeah, there is that classic thing. And to your point, if you want to make a statement and go, we're back, baby.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Putting it, I mean, and especially if you have Leon, right? Like, putting in, you got to put it third person if you have Leon as the main character. I don't think. Yeah. I like that prediction. I'm excited for it. I'm going to keep it on the horror side. So, and for context, right? I didn't set this up well. Me and you, I asked you if you wanted to bring three predictions to the table each.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
So we're bringing three predictions each. We're going to hop into the chat, see what you guys are saying. But my first prediction is that Fire Sprite is going to show up. Okay. They're going to announce Until Dawn 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
The sequel to Until Dawn. Ooh. We're in Until Dawn season again. They brought it back last year with the remake. The Until Dawn movie is, is it out? It came and went. It came out? The Until Dawn movie? We reviewed it on this show. Yeah. No way. Uh-huh. I was probably out of town, I think.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
I wonder why. Yeah, until Don 2 gets announced. The question is, when does it come out? I'm going to say this fall. I'm going to say it gets announced for this fall.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
no expectation it's there well there's a few rumors that have popped up recently and I think the biggest where there's smokes there's flames thing is that they changed one of the endings to Until Dawn with the remake I don't know actually chat correct me if I'm wrong I think if you do a certain thing in Until Dawn remake there's a post credits like a new post credits that teases a sequel and so I think it just makes sense the PlayStation audience loves Until Dawn like nobody else is gonna do this right like you just put out a movie as well
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.03.25
Make another Until Dawn video game. I love it. I love it. What do you got? What else you got?

Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Es ist speziell.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
I mean, I think that we can view Forza Horizon 5 specifically at this point as one of the best things Xbox has, one of the best racing games, one of the bigger franchises, period. Like, it's...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Es ist lustig, weil für die letzten zwei Jahre, wenn nicht mehr, oh, Switch Pro, oh, Switch 2, wann kommt es? Oh, es ist geleakt hier. Oh, es wird hier passieren. Oh, Baby, hier, all that stuff. Und hier sind wir mit einem echten Tag, an dem wir Antworten bekommen. Oh, ja. Das ist für mich das spannendste. Wir wissen, dass Antworten kommen und wir wissen, dass sie gut werden werden.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Die Tage sind vorbei, Gott sei Dank.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Auf der Playstation. Ich meine, ich denke, wir sind auf dem Punkt, dass das nicht seltsam ist, richtig? Du kannst das jetzt auch in Fortnite machen, richtig? Ich glaube, das ist wahr. Ich weiß nicht, ob es in Warthogs spezifisch ist, aber in Chiefs ist es da. Ja. Weißt du? Ja. Es sind einfach verrückte Zeiten, aber wir sind in ihnen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich fühle mich, als wäre es kein verrückter potenzieller Zukunft. Es ist das Jetzt. Und, weißt du, denk über die... Okay, great. If we want to shift around, we can take that into story number one. Okay, vielleicht macht das auch Sinn. Aber ja, es ist viel los. Aber klar, das ist gut. Und wo auch immer wir sind, ich denke, dass Forza von mehr Spielern gespielt wird, ist nur eine gute Sache.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Das ist ein unglaubliches Spiel. Und ich denke, PS5-Gamer werden es wirklich lieben. Ich bin mit dir über die Cross-Save-Sachen. Wir müssen das Ganze herausfinden. Wir müssen es bald herausfinden. Weil, wenn das alles weitergeht, müssen wir einen Weg finden, um die Barrieren zu lösen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Und auch wenn du Rennspiele nicht magst, wenn du einfach Video-Games magst... Wenn du Open-Road-Games magst, wenn du Video-Games magst... Genau, da ist etwas dazu, wo ich sage, es ist Pick-up-and-Play, es gibt viel Depth, wenn du es möchtest, aber es ist einfach so ein spielbares Spiel. Die Anzahl der Male, die ich gesehen habe, Ben, Gregs Sohn, spielt Forza. Weißt du, was ich meine? Ist er gut?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Nein. Ist er am Spaß? Ja. Das ist das, was wichtig ist.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Es werden vielleicht einige seltsame Sachen sein, es werden einige seltsame Sachen sein.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Das ist ein guter Punkt, das ist ein guter Punkt. Ich weiß nicht, was es eigentlich ist, aber ja, weil die meisten starten im April, aber nicht alle. Also vielleicht ist Microsoft anders.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ja. Aber die Antworten waren immer noch gut.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Look, these are good numbers. Everything's adding up. Again, it goes back to what I was saying. It's not a surprise because of Call of Duty Black Ops 6. When you literally buy the highest performing game year after year after year, you're going to see high performance. Nobody's shocked, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
I am very interested to see what these numbers look like when it's not the Call of Duties, when it is the... I can't wait to see these number conversations a year from now about 2025. Because I do think that Xbox has the potential to really kind of break a lot of their own records and really push Game Pass in a way like they haven't before.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
That might not beat the Call of Duty months ever, but we'll have a Call of Duty month every year. Yeah. Right? So they still have that. But I do think that they're going to pull this off. What does that look like at the end? I don't know. I think it's definitely a better step than where they were before.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
And at the end of the day, they're talking about the higher margin content and platform services. It's like, all right, cool, like higher margin content, like being on more platforms, getting more money for the games they're already making. Like that's a good thing. And again, everybody kind of wins from that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
It's nothing. These numbers don't mean anything to me, honestly. I feel like when we're talking about... You need context for any number you ever get. And I feel like when we talk about Steam-Concurrence, when a multiplayer game drops, there's inherent context there, because we understand what we're talking about. We know that we're talking about...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
This is as big as it's going to get, because it is the launch. And we can compare that to other similar games with similar launches, and is this a success? Let's look at it three weeks from now, let's look at it two months from now. Like, do they still have an audience? Is this sustainable? Blah, blah, blah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
When you add in, you can buy the game, you can play it on Game Pass or whatever, and you're just saying like four million players, it's like, alright, cool, I guess that is a number that we can compare to other numbers. I just find it a lot less interesting for the conversation than... sold you know because like there's i think that uh with how kind of uh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Sie sind geschlossen, Mann.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
In the weeds we are about the numbers and the financing and like, was this a good decision or a bad decision? The discussions we have about what they do. I feel like this isn't enough information. So it's almost like, all right, whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Very, very good. No matter what way, in the context of that, it's like, yeah, 4 million people playing a big game, awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
all right maybe you sell a million like in the first through like month or so right but like here i'm looking at it i'm like a valid could do three million in the first couple months and that's gonna be great for and yeah outselling dragon age right like that is a full price game like yeah you brought very very good points there blessed i think you're absolutely right uh that's the right way to look at it especially because we're in such a different time of games like it being 2025 with the uh amount of players we have now compared to what we had even
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ja, genau. And that's kind of its fan base, then you can get people out of that, whatever. But now, if you can just kind of let even more people play, get millions more people invested in the IP, interested in the future of it all, there is inherent value there, even if it's not...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
sofort finanziell und ich denke, dass das die größte Sache hier ist, dass die Finanzen immer noch hinzufügen müssen. Weißt du, was ich meine? Wenn Game Pass zu günstig ist und sie nicht genug Geld davon verdienen, aber mehr Leute spielen, ist es cool, dass du mehr Bewusstsein bekommst, aber was kostet das?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Und ich denke, das ist das, was wir in der Zukunft wirklich danken werden müssen, um zu sehen, wie viel das alles tatsächlich zahlt. Aber weil es mich erinnert, wie wir hier Dinge machen und Dinge verkaufen, wie wir ein Ad in unseren Shows stellen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich kann sagen, oh, aber wir bekommen x Anzahl von Impressionen auf Twitter, weil Twitter-Videos, ihre Zahlen sind verdammt verrückt, weil sie zählen, wenn jemand sogar über sie scrollt. Ja. Das ist verletzend. Weißt du, was ich meine? Das ist nicht Erwärmung. Das hat keine echten Dinge. Also was, diese 4 Millionen Spieler, was bedeutet das eigentlich? Weißt du?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Oh, like Mario Luigi. Yes, yeah, of course. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Different New Yorker. Mario. Done. Oh my God. Speaking of getting shit done, Les. Yeah? A couple days ago, I was bedridden. Looking at Twitter, I'm like, Twitter, give me some good stuff. Please give me something good. And Harada tweets. You know, Mr. Tekken himself. Tweets. Something that caught my eye.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Das ist das, was ich sage. Es ist eine interessante Statistik. Ich denke nur, dass es so breit ist, dass es zu viel Kontext braucht, um wirklich zu sagen, oh, wir können jeden Raum der Diskussion über die 4 Millionen gegen die Dragon Age haben.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Aber wir wissen das, wir verstehen das. Aber ich sage nur, es gibt viele Dinge, denen ich das nicht vertraue.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Das ist das, was ich gerade nicht in den Kontext habe, um auf den Spot zu kommen, mit einem Nummer, der wirklich Sinn macht. Aber meine Antwort ist, viel.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich weiß nicht, was wirklich gut bedeutet. Ich weiß nicht, ob es 2 Millionen, 3 Millionen oder 5 Millionen ist. Aber ich denke, dass Forza Horizon, es ist ein bisschen älter als ein Titel, ich denke, es geht davon aus. Jedoch denke ich, dass Forza der Typ ist, der Leute, die es noch nicht gespielt haben, sind so, dass sie sich nicht interessieren, ob es Forza 4 oder 5 ist. Es ist für mich neu.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
100 Prozent. Ich denke, dass das, ja, du bist absolut richtig. Und ich denke, dass es so groß werden wird auf der Playstation, dass ich denke, es könnte Rekorde brechen. Ich denke, ja. Ich meine, die große Frage ist, wie An welchem Punkt wird es mit Gran Turismo sein? Das verkauft viele Units, richtig?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Wir sprechen jetzt nur noch von Xbox-Games, die auf Playstation veröffentlicht werden, wenn wir nur über Konsole sprechen. Es gibt so viele mehr PlayStation 5s, als es in der Xbox-Serie gibt.

And it caught my eye because it had a screenshot that he was quote tweeting of an old like video game magazine article that I remember looking at here that was Itagaki. Nummer 3, Tekken 3, hate. Nummer 4, Tekken 4, hate. Und Nummer 5, I can no longer figure out what the hell they're trying to do with the numbering and I don't know which one is which.

Und ich denke nicht, dass du irgendein Spiel nehmen kannst und es einfach rausnehmen kannst. Es wird gut verkaufen. Aber wir haben schon gesehen, ob Thieves gut funktioniert. Und ob Thieves gut funktioniert? Forza, den kann jeder spielen. Das wird spannend werden. Ich bin sehr gespannt auf das.

Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
I assume it's next year. And I... I would assume that it comes out day and date on PlayStation. I'm still of the mind that I'm surprised that South of Midnight is not day and date on PlayStation and everything else they talked about during the Developer Direct is day and date.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
I think day and date is going to be the right move and the right strategy and I think it's going to be clear as day to them when they start looking at the numbers. The numbers are already starting to speak and I think that they're only going to get louder.

Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich habe das Gefühl, dass dieses Jahr, mit all den Gerüchten, die wir gesehen haben, und jetzt, hey, das Ganze hat angefangen. Ich erinnere mich nicht, ob Forza auf dieser Liste von Spielen gesprochen wurde. Aber ich denke, Forza, Halo Master Chief Collection, wahrscheinlich die Gears Collection. Ich denke, wir werden sie alle im nächsten Jahr sehen. Auf PS5. Ja. Ja. Weil, warum würden wir nicht?

Aber ich sage nächstes Jahr, also ich könnte Halo sehen und dann vielleicht erst nächstes Jahr Gears bekommen oder so etwas. Vielleicht fliegen sie die, ich weiß es nicht. Aber ja, Flight Sim, Flight Sim, Flight Sim ist noch einer, Age of Mythology.

And then David N. brings in something pretty interesting. Do you think Forza Horizon is just listed as quote-unquote spring because it's coming to Switch 2 as well? Like, why not give the date now?

You're right. We don't.

Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich weiß nicht, wie das funktioniert. Ja, ich meine, ich denke, an diesem Punkt speziell müssen sie Microsoft funktional als dritte-Partei schauen. Ja. Wegen dessen, wo wir sind, richtig? Weil das ist, wie sie funktionieren, an diesem Punkt, bei Nintendo. Also... Ja, ich denke, dass sie das machen würden. Das würde dann auch Sinn machen.

I don't know what they're trying to do with all of it, with all these spin-offs, so it includes Nina Death by Degrees as well. I don't think this needs saying, but people should stay away from Tekken. Nothing left to say. I just don't want them to disappoint me anymore. It's so annoying. Please don't annoy me anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich denke, mit Playstation könnte es ein weiteres Thema sein, aber wir haben es schon gesehen mit Lego Horizons. Die Beratungen mussten dort stattfinden, richtig? Es ist ein bisschen anders, weil wir keine Dev-Kits brauchen, für das existierende Hardware. Aber ja, ich schätze, wenn... Der Moment, als Microsoft Activision... Das sind sehr viele Spiele, die Nintendo möchte.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Und du musst dir vorstellen, dass Activision schon weiß, was Switch 2 ist. Ich fühle mich auch so, als ob wir nur Person A und Person B sprechen. Das ist so, wie es funktioniert. Die Wahrheit ist, es geht nicht nur darum, ob Nintendo auf Xbox geht. Oh, ich bin sicher, dass Xbox weiß, dass Nintendo ein neues Konzert arbeitet. Sie sind Geschäftsleute, die mit Nintendo sprechen. Ich bin so, Bro.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Like, let's just fucking call it what it is. June is summer. You know what I mean? You know what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
I'm with you, man. I'm with you. But anyway, yeah, so that could be vague. But I don't think that these things are necessarily entwined. However, I think Forza Horizon coming to Switch makes sense. Hoffentlich. Wir sind immer noch in dieser Hoffnung, Mann.

Ja, aber auch, hört Motorsport an, als würde Horizon sein?

Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ja, es ist rar, aber ich meine, ich fühle mich nicht voll, aber wie Fallout, wie New Vegas. New Vegas, definitiv. Aber die anderen sind immer noch groß. Aber ich meine, das ist das Ding. Forza Motorsport ist auch groß. Horizon ist drei Mal größer als Motorsport.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Und das macht Sinn. Das macht Sinn. Persona ist ein tolles Beispiel. Ein sehr guter Beispiel.

I think just has a cachet to it with the community. At a certain point, I don't think it's about the quality of the game. I think it's about their Gran Turismo player. I agree with that, yeah. And I think that that is probably representative of, I would probably say, the majority of the very large fanbase of Gran Turismo players, but they're in that shit. That is their world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

He was the Rival Fighting Games, right? And so it's like, when this came, I remember seeing this and just being like, well, this is kind of wild. Imagine Phil Spencer coming out and doing this about PlayStation games. Yeah. Right?

Wann war das letzte Mal, als London Four in einer TV-Serie war? Ich weiß es nicht. Ich weiß es nicht. Aber ich weiß es nicht, Mann. Ich kann es sehen. Du hast recht. Ja. Elliot Page. I think to me, that's the X-Factor here. Who's asking this? Why are they doing this? This doesn't read to me like it's coming from a grubby, like, what's a video game we have access to?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
This feels like a deliberate, I want to do this. I'm going to acquire the rights to do this. I have passion for this. This matters to me.

Ich glaube, mein Ding ist, dass wir zu tief in der Tasche sind.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich fühle mich, dass wir tief in der Tasche sind, aber wir sind nicht... My thing is, why does that matter? It's not like there's a limit to how many good ones there can be or how many bad ones there can be. You get what I'm saying? Yeah. And it's not like superhero movies where it's like, oh man, it has to be an origin story that leads to a villain in the sky. It's like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
There's no similarities between Sleeping Dogs and Beyond Two Souls and Super Mario Bros. the Movie. You know what I mean? I just feel like we're getting caught up in all this too many video game movies. People watching these movies, the majority of them aren't like, these are video game movies.

So, evidence of this was when he was friends with Itagaki from Dead or Alive that literally had this printed in no particular order. So it's like they're joking here of like, well, clearly they're having fun. Clearly this is like, you know, boys being boys type situation of like, we're just, we're giving each other some nice little ribs, all that. What if I told you that wasn't the case?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Das ganze, oh Mann, wir sind so gekämpft. Das Gespräch ist für mich einfach so schrecklich und überdünnt. Wir müssen real sein und das, was es ist, sagen. People don't care about books anymore. They care about video games. We've been adapting books forever, like original IP movies, so few and far between. Like, yes, there's a ton of them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
But when you, relatively, when you look at the numbers of movies of consequence that came out, even in the 80s and 90s, all the original IP movie eras, how many a year were coming out? And then you compare it to now, like how many more movies are even coming out? There's so much more. The numbers, all the numbers are up, right? They're adapting books. We're running out of good books. Okay?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
We're out of books. Let's move on. And then here's the comic books. Let's adopt the fuck out of those. What's next? We now have decades of video games that have stories. I don't even want to say rich stories. We have a handful of games with rich stories. And then we have just a lot of games that have stories that people can kind of adapt and turn into screenplay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
And there's the added bonus of a built-in Ich glaube, Sleeping Dogs ist ein tolles Videospiel, aber...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
I think you can apply that to many movies that were based on books as well and some made it work and some didn't and some changed the book enough to make it worth Ja. But that's not where we're at right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
These things are doing well and they're hitting right and there seems to be the right level of loving care being put into them because the people making these things are treating them like we need to make movies here because I don't think that they're thinking we need to make a video game movie. They're like, we need to make movies.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25

And we're now learning about that. We're learning about that now. I want to read just the beginning part of this. From Hirana, the Tekken side. Hmm, I'm not sure how you perceive my relationship with Mr. Itagaki, but I can tell you it's likely different from what you imagine. Let me provide a general overview and some key topics regarding my history with Mr. Itagaki.

Ja. Ja, ich bin gespannt. Ich hoffe, es geht gut und ich erwarte, dass es gut geht, weil ich finde, ich bin sehr, sehr beeindruckt von der Medienseite, wie Jeff Summer Game Fest und Playdays und all das die letzten paar Jahre gespielt hat.

Let's do that. That sounds like a great Gamescast. Sounds like a big one, though. You know, that might take a lot of time. It might take a lot of thoughts, brain power, big stuff.

Due to the positive response on these four themes, we're doing some work behind the scenes to bring these special designs back in the months ahead. Amazing News, a little bit weird, but I also think that this is a perfect example of how weird back-end shit can be sometimes. Because, like, why isn't it just available now? Why isn't it just like, hey, they're available forever?

Like, it's like, it is just such a fun read, and like, it's fun, it's informative, it's very interesting to get this type of look into games in the late 90s, early 2000s, and how big the rise and fall and re-rise of fighting games, and like, just...

Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
I mean, yeah, you're right. Like, especially if you keep it semi... Because what we've seen so far, which is very limited, and I don't think we should go off of it, it doesn't have the, like, crazy-ass, like, upside-down and, like, the gravity shit. Yeah. So it's like, if it is more SNES-style courses, where it's a little more flat, like, that'd be fairly easy to, like, kind of design, but...

And I'm sure Greg's going to try as well. But he has this kid. Oh, yeah. God, I had a nickel. Trevor says, for people that have not watched Aliens in Review, it's an absolute must.

Real talk. Aliens, so far, Alien and Aliens in Review, back to back bangers. But Aliens in Review, you need to watch the first five minutes, even if you're not interested in the rest of it. It's a lot. Hast du die ersten fünf Minuten gesehen? Weißt du, was passiert?

It's a good thing, man. We just gotta move forward, everybody. Alex J. Sandoval says, you can extrapolate sales to a rough number. Subscription costs are so variable. X million players can't really be extrapolated by a cognizant ballpark. Yeah, exactly. That's what I was saying. You just use fancier words that make you sound way more intelligible than me.

Ja, es ist sehr interessant. Könnte... Das ist definitiv eine Konversation. Wir sollten ein Gamescast machen mit diesem Thema. Wir sollten mich, dich, Mike und Greg holen. Ich denke, das ist der richtige Grupp für das. Ich möchte, dass wir darüber sprechen, wie Xbox Play Anywhere kann und kann nicht auf PlayStation 5 anpassen.

Und es war wie, es geht zurück zu der Rivalität zwischen Tekken und Dead or Alive, zwei der ersten 3D-Fighter, richtig? Und sie kämpften durch die Transition von Arcade zu Home Console und was all das bedeutet, die Todes-Arcade und all das. Und sie dachten, Harada dachte, dass Itagaki ihn hassen würde.

Jedi Power Battles war eines dieser Psycho-Mode Spiele für mich und meine Freunde, insbesondere Cool Greg. Es wäre ich, Cool Greg, wenn ich zu meinem Freund Riley käme, der auf der Straße lebte. Er schüttet seine Panty oft. Ich weiß nicht, wie alt er ist. Er ist viel zu alt. Nein. Er hatte eine Art... Ich weiß nicht, was da los ist. Er hatte eine ganze Sache.

Er hatte einen älteren Bruder, Joseph, der mir älter war. Und dann hat er einen jüngeren Bruder, Riley, der zwei Jahre jünger war als Cool Greg. Er war damals in der Nähe. Er war der junge Junge in der Nähe. Aber hey, du, behalte es in deinem Mund, Mann. Behalte es in deinem Mund.

Es ist also ein semi-isometrisches, 3D, Streets of Rage-Type-Game, aber auf Playstation, also es ist schlecht. Aber es hat auch RPG-Elemente, wie PS1-Style, wo es so ist, es gibt Level, du kannst bis zu Level 99 kommen und du wirst verdammt, wenn alle fünf meiner Charaktere nicht Level 99 waren, als ich damals war.

This is where it's going.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
And I also do wonder how much they're going to balance what these...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
characters stories are truly are versus like how assassins creed lore heavy it gets and i i do wonder once you start to get into that stuff of the assassins and possibly the templars they have different names i don't know what they're called uh in this era uh i i do i could see your eyes start to glaze over and stop like starting to lose the motivation to like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yeah, I'm still into it, though, in terms of gameplay. I think it's interesting the relationship between gameplay and story. Obviously, like I mentioned before, the dual protagonist thing we've seen before with Assassin's Creed Syndicate. And while they kind of pitch Jacob and Evie Fry being kind of different, Jacob being a brawler, Evie being the stealth character.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
They pretty much still play the same, maybe a couple of different abilities. Whereas here with Yasuke and Naue, it is very much Yasuke is the brawler, Yasuke you want to be in fights with, Naue you want to be stealthing. And I do think it... it rides a fine line that I don't know if it's going to fully succeed or there are moments where you get to choose like in big heavy story moments.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Oh, do you want to play as Yasuke or Naoe for this part? And thematically I'm like, well, it makes sense for Naoe to continue this story, but now I'm going to play in a section where I'm going to have to fight like six dudes all at once. And she should not be doing this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
And like, uh, Kevin, if you want to bring up the boss fight, uh, footage that I have here where it's like for this story that we got of this dude who, um, We have to fight here and everything about his son. It felt like Naue had more of a connection with what was going on here. But then we get into this boss fight that is full on combat, all of this stuff. And I was like, I wanted to play as Naue.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
But it's like, well, Yasuke makes more like... Combat sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Tactical. And it's like, okay, and then I fight as Yasuke, and at the end he's still not dead, and then Naoe goes in for the kill. This is like a weird balance that I don't know if I'm going to love through the entire time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Did you get to choose a lot of dialogue? Yeah. Oh, wow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
I chose another.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
You chose that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Which I do think probably hits a bit more in certain situations. We won't say it, but there's a moment with Yasuke early on where hearing it all in English, it does get kind of like, oh, this is supposed to be a moment that I think could have hit a bit more in actual native languages and Japanese and all that stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
This is another open world Assassin's Creed game. This is an RPG, yeah. Mirage was their homage to the old-school Assassin's Creed, but you can see that the want from the Assassin's Creed teams is to keep making these open-world RPG-like games. So if you're hoping for more of a callback, you're not getting that here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
For the most part, I would still say a lot of Naoe gameplay stuff, and even Naoe story stuff feels very... Ezio coded.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Kev, if you want to bring up menu stuff, just to talk about the RPG stuff, because I know a big hang-up a lot of people had was Valhalla, how big Valhalla felt, how big that skill tree felt as well. And you have a bunch of separated skill trees this time around. You see them broken up over there by left trigger, right trigger, right. We're talking about the katana right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yeah, you have your weapon skill trees and then more of your skill trees, like your assassin skill tree and stuff like that. And I think it doesn't feel... It's definitely smaller than Valhalla's skill tree, but it still feels robust because you have these six skill trees for each character. That's my alarm.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
And so, yeah, I think because they segment it, it's a bit more, it feels like it's a bit more welcoming in terms of being a bigger RPG with a bunch of skill trees and all that stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
And it feels like the upgrades feel a bit more significant, whereas Valhalla, it was like plus five sword damage, 5% sword damage or whatever. Some clown in the chat, Paris, goes, but y'all poo-pooed me drafting AC Shadows.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yeah, no. This is a solid Assassin's Creed, it seems. I love Valhalla. Valhalla reviewed at like an 83 or 84, so it's going to get you a good 10 points, which, again, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
good uh in terms of combat uh and stealth uh stealth stealth is the thing that feels very iterative i remember when they revealed this game uh it was like oh you can like take out lights and like slink in the shadows and stuff and like that stuff is fun the fact sheet makes a big call out of like light really play and i'm like i'm playing the game like it feels like i said i don't know yeah it feels like every other stealth of assassin's i will say the seasons the seasons changed at one point in my preview i don't know if it did for you uh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
I definitely fell at one point. I might have actually been in this zone where I sneak in as Naue here, where I think this was a season where because there was more wind and stuff... I forget what it was, but they make a big deal about like foliage changing and all that stuff. So a lot of like your hiding spots aren't going to be as useful, like maybe in trees and stuff like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
And like, you see like that tree is dying there. And I felt in this space getting spotted a lot more, even though I was high, like up, up above. Yeah. So I do think there is a little bit of them wanting you to put thought into when you're going into these spaces in terms of daytime or nighttime. It's the thing in terms of, season stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
I like the stealth. It's more Assassin's Creed stealth. I appreciate that assassinating a dude isn't level locked, it seems, at least in this demo. It is just like, hey, if you can sneak up on this dude well enough, you can just assassinate them, and it's not like a weird, like, oh, they're five levels higher than you. You can assassinate them. The combat feels... Fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yeah, it looks Assassin's Creed. Yeah, it doesn't feel any different from, like, Eivor or Odyssey.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yeah, and it is, like, it's hard to tell. Again, we played a remote demo, so we're streaming through, like, Ubisoft's, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yeah, and so I'm excited to actually get the game to actually feel a bit more what the combat feels like. But yeah, it's not the most challenging thing, but I don't think it's meant to be. It's just supposed to feel solid and fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
I don't know. Like, how much did you feel like you, in your choices, really felt like... I like being able to tell people off.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
it's a very pretty world i'm excited to actually see more of the natural like finding side quests and all that stuff it felt very weird to try to find uh anything outside of the main quests i got a side quest and like kill 25 and the demo's like you can't do that here by the way you got you can't that's
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yeah, the demo area or whatever. Yeah, discovering things they want to be a bit more natural, but it's all like you discover locations and then hopefully you can find stuff around those locations. But with it being a bunch of question marks, it's like, what is my motivation to go to these question marks?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Especially when visually, when I look over here, it's not like the most engaging to actually check out this house, right? You know, and so I think that's like a weird line that I don't know if it's really going to fully work of like them trying to do this whole immersive naturally find everything in the world type of thing. But yeah, I'm I'm

Not to make it about the league, but just to make it about the league for a second, does this count as a delayed game because it's forever delayed?

Previously, Maddie Makes Games, they changed the company name to Extremely Okay Games. Yeah, this was announced, I forget where, but it was a few years ago, and it was just like this tease of like, all right, this is definitely looking like the Celeste art style with the platforming that you know and love, but it's a Metroidvania with really cool looking combat and enemies and all this stuff.

we're never going to be able to play this like the fact that it wasn't just like hey we like lost uh someone who was like a major part of this project so we're delaying it but just straight up cancel it's like shit that is well the story that is rough no yeah there's more to it of course this is you know maddie makes game but it's like a small development team right who's being very open and honest about what's going on

And excited to do. And excited to do. It seems like Earthblade started to have a lot of emotional baggage for them. And so I am heartbroken, but I do very much understand creatively and how... strong-willed you have to be to make that decision to let that project go, especially when it was so anticipated by so many of us. So, yeah. It's heartbreaking.

We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yes, we did. We got to do a remote demo of about four hours of Assassin's Creed Shadows. And it really hit me during that time of like, damn, it has been... Five years since Valhalla. Granted, it's been a couple of years since Mirage, right? Yeah. But like it's been five years since we've gotten like this huge open world Assassin's Creed type game.

We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
And honestly, at the end of it all, we're going to talk about it. Maybe some of our ups and downs here. Yeah. But at the end of it, I was like, I'm ready to get back into this world, this universe. Do a kind of simple yet satisfying Ubisoft open world checklist kind of thing. I like the way you call that. So yeah, I had a really fun time with it. It is interesting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
They need a big hit. It feels like they're putting all their chips in on this one being a massive success. I feel like they're hoping that they're bringing in new people, like Blessing at AOA Junior, like Andy Cortez.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
And my thing is, like, playing through it, it was like, yeah, this is another Assassin's Creed game. I think the setting is something that's been long overdue. Feudal Japan has been something the fans have been asking for for a long time. And we're finally getting it, which is very exciting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
But I think along with that, in a post-Ghost of Tsushima world, people are expecting, I think, this, like, big kind of either revolution or shakeup of what Assassin's Creed is. And while there's definitely iterations in some of the gameplay, I don't think it's this big changing of what Assassin's Creed is. So I don't think it's going to...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
grab people like a blessing at AOA Junior, like an Andy Cortez. I am winning that bet 100% that y'all are going to play this for two hours and be like, yeah, this is Assassin's Creed.

We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
But for myself, someone who's a fan of Assassin's Creed, I'm really... Into it, and I think even though it definitely feels like just small little things that are being changed for this game, I'm excited. I'm going to have a fun time. Will I remember it by the end of the year? Who knows? But at least at first glance, I had a good time. Blessing?

We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
The opening was very strong. Getting to kind of understand the context of where Yasuke and Naue start in their journeys, I was really hooked by it and some of the kind of themes that, again, I don't want to spoil, but just Yasuke's introduction especially I thought was very fascinating. I'm excited to see...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
how they come together, how they team up, because we got to play the prologue, and then we skipped ahead X amount of hours.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Them playing around with the double protagonist thing I think is really fun. This is something that they've done before with like Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Granted, like the Odyssey and Valhalla, you got to pick one or the other, but it wasn't really like a dual protagonist type of thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
But yeah, I'm excited to see like how they play off of each other, how they, you know, become homies and whatnot. what their adventure like kind of goes from here and whether there's friction or not, because they definitely are coming from different walks of life. And so I'm, I'm excited to see that.

Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
That's one thing I wonder about. Another thing is... Oh, Justin says in the Super Chat the away jersey looks worse with the Switch 2 patch. Oh, no. Can you get me the away jersey? Oh, yeah, I guess because it would be the full color. Instead of it being a white, it's going to be that teal with a giant red patch on it.

Because I gave so much away, and then when we were at IGN, it was very much like, that was the company stuff. I didn't ever do that. My favorite thing I ever got that I left at IGN, because of course it was theirs, I was just an employee of IGN, would have been the Uncharted 2 Collector's Edition. Do you remember? It came in the gigantic book, and then inside was the...

the the dagger of shambhala the key that opened everything and what was even cooler is when they sent it to us it was signed by everybody who worked on uncharted 2 oh that's cool so it was like this it was like the collector's edition alone was awesome but then it was all these things but of course it sat on my desk forever and then got put into the glass case uh when they themed the new office and then yeah there it is and then god only knows what's happened since they moved everything around and shut things down to work from home and yada yada yada

I say that it would just be in a closet or on a shelf downstairs in my house or whatever, but I wonder where it is now. I hope it has a good home wherever it went through IGN. Somebody's fondling it.

Would have been probably, what, 2019, the year before everything shut down and changed and whatever, where we went to the awards and it was the first awards where they no longer gave out wine.

This is a big thing, you know, from me the other week, month, whatever, where Ben was tinkering with the Switch and then moved on to the PlayStation, and I was like, okay, and I picked it up, and I'm like, you know, I've wanted to play the new Zelda game. Nah, the newest one. Echoes of Wisdom. Thank you so much. And I jumped in because Ben wanted to see it, and I was like, you know what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I thought we didn't have money to hire interns anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
I do want to play this, but I still haven't played A Link to the Past. No, no. Tears of the Kingdom? No, no. Oh, A Link Between Worlds. No, no.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
Link's Awakening the one that was in the same style I never played Link's Awakening yes that's what I meant and so I booted that up and I started playing it and Ben was watching having a great time and then I was like holy shit this runs like trash and I was like ugh it's like enough where I'm like I don't want to keep doing this right now even Echoes of Wisdom like playing it it's a very charming art style but there's a frame rate there that just doesn't
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
hit for just yeah it just doesn't gel right yeah and so the idea that uh the switch to could fix that i was complaining to him about he's like well hold on you know i mean don't do this and of course i still want to go back theoretically i'm still i have a hunger right now i have a burning desire to go back to pokemon scarlet which i think i'm just gonna let cook until the new uh za comes out yeah just jump into za and forget about scarlet because whatever i beat all the gyms i need to go you know fight the elite whoever or whatever but it doesn't matter
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
Just go in, have the Switch 2, have it run, look better, knock on wood, hopefully it looks great there, right? So that's the idea here is that there are a lot of Nintendo games that I didn't tinker enough with on Switch and so that I have.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
And so if it was the idea that, hey, Switch 2 is here and it's making them look better, it's making them run better, it's shortening these load times, I think of Animal Crossing. Oh, yeah, I'd love to tinker more with this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
Are you looking for ray tracing? No, I don't need to go crazy. It's just more to the fact that when you reviewed Pokemon Scarlet and you see the video of the legs kicking and looking just awful, like... I just don't want these games to look like trash. Nintendo has such a great art style, and I'm very broad here, a great art style for most of their beloved games and franchises, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
I'm great, Jared. How are you? I missed you. How's GDC going?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
That those should look and run excellent, right? And I think it's, you know, Imran Khan, The Dawn, I think the number one Nintendo takedown artist out there. Not in a bad way, but of the way of, like, I think it might have been Za. They put up screenshots and it was Baron or whatever. And he's like, look at Xenoblade Chronicles. This is the same system.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
Why doesn't your game look... You can make things look great on this system. And that's what I'd want out of these things is, yeah, visual bump for what I already have. Performance bump. If I had to go in order, I mean, frame rate would be at the top. Let's just be consistent. I'm not even asking for 60. I'm just saying be consistent and don't make a drop. Then I would say load times, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
What is interesting about this to me, and again, as you know, there's only so much I can keep in the noggin, so much I can focus on. And when we have you and Tim to be the Nintendo guys, I get to just be a Nintendo guy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
provocateur you know what i mean i get to be a voyeur and watch what they're doing from a distance to be excited for it but not have to know everything what gives me pause here would be the fact that like it's a mode inside of this my hope would be and i'm probably impossible but my hope would be that the switch 2 would be like hey we're downloading your old switch games if you want to and we're doing something in the back end to make them great on their own
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
It doesn't need to be a mode that we need. So I need, am I going to need an Animal Crossing, a Pokemon, somebody else to go back to their old games and add these modes in? Oh, you want it to be an automatic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
Which isn't outrageous, right? I guess that's how it is on when you get like the fancy PlayStation and Xbox versions. Yeah. Yeah. PlayStation 5 does some stuff where it's like boost PlayStation 4.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Ramp Up - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.20.25
But I guess maybe that'll be the thing where it's like, all right, the processing power of the Switch 2, this is all just bullshit and we're hypothesizing. The processing power alone will make games load faster and make a more consistent frame rate. But to get something like 60 frames, to get something... spectacular you would need to put the mode in.

What does this do for you as far as seemingly Asus working on their own handheld to come out this year that is an Xbox handheld but it's more of a partnered thing under Project Bayside? Take it to the bank.

Let's go. I'm the same way. I've given up on trying to appeal to the internet because the internet is kind of the internet, right? But there's always this thing of, like, I feel like I'm the same way as far as rooting for Xbox.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
It's better than Steam Deck, but not as good as maybe the Asus ROG.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
Getting excited about Xbox's plans, feeling like they're the future in terms of, like, how forward-thinking I think a lot of their operations are as far as, like, Cloud and Xbox Game Pass and all this stuff. Play anywhere, especially. But the more I do that, the more, like, core Xbox fans get at me, and they're like... How dare you speak positively? I'm like, I don't know, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
Does that work for you even if it doesn't play Xbox console games? Hey, this is Xbox PC. You're maybe going to get the console games on the 2027 thing, but for this, you are linking to your... It's the same thing as opening the Xbox app on your PC. Are you okay with that? A thousand percent.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
I think for me, I'm on the side of, I'm excited about the idea of an Xbox handheld. I think I'm more of a, I'm going to wait till 2027 for the actual official Xbox handheld to come out because I have, now I have many questions about what is that going to be, right? I think the reporting of, hey, the Xbox is going to come, the next gen Xbox is planned for 2027 alongside an original Xbox handheld.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
That for me screams more of there's going to be way deeper compatibility there than like what you would expect out of an Xbox.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
handheld yeah to your point then it's gonna you it's got it make play my xbox games normally not just this pc game yeah especially for putting it out alongside the next gen xbox for me that gives the impression of oh i'm gonna be able to play those next gen games on whatever that that uh handheld is and if that's the case I have so many questions. One of those big questions is price.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
Because this right here, they're talking about likely the pricing being between $4.99 and $5.99. I honestly look at that and I go, man, that's expensive. And I say that even knowing that... How much did you pay for your Steam Deck? I know the Steam Deck and ASUS and all this stuff have been expensive, but I think maybe years past of the Steam Deck being out for a few years. I forget.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
I just want them to do well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
I think I got the Medium Steam Deck. I got either the Medium or the Lower End Steam Deck. Barry knows what I'm talking about. Yeah, I didn't get the Grande. I forget how much chat... Tell me how much the lower-end Steam Deck was at launch. Because I don't think I paid $600 for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
But I guess as we get further, I think those prices are getting up higher and higher, probably because of tariffs, probably because of inflation, probably because of many different aspects of it. But I think part of me was hoping that, alright, if I'm getting something that's going to be comparable to a Steam Deck, we'd see that price come down a little bit over the years.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
So to look at $500, $600, I'm like... Oh, yeah, there's no way I'm paying that out of pocket.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
Okay, $399. So, yeah, it was expensive for the lower end. That means the high end was, I can look this up. I want to say it was $800, wasn't it? It was rough, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
Yeah, so I think it probably is more so just of a competition thing for me then of, well, I own a Steam Deck. I want an Xbox handheld. How much utility am I going to get from the Asus one that's coming out this year versus waiting two years?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

But it was in the middle of the avowed review period. And I went and I downloaded Xbox, the app, right? Or I might have already had it. But I downloaded Avowed to my Asus ROG ally and I was like, oh...

This is nice. And for you, as Greg Miller, who is somebody who loves to play Starfield, as somebody who, like, you know, we joked about it at the beginning, but you are like an Xbox player. And I think this year you have a lot of Xbox games that you're probably in particular looking forward to.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
I was more predicting 2026 because I always thought that maybe as Xbox you want to get out there a bit sooner than PlayStation would. And who knows? You might still make it in 2027. Maybe PS6 isn't until 2028 or something like that. I have no idea. But I think that lines up. That sounds about right. I'm very fascinated for what that's going to look like. I would hope that at that point it is...

all steam ahead on what this current vision of Xbox is. We've talked about it being play anywhere. We've talked about cloud integration. We've talked about all these things. We've talked about Xbox, their strategy being more so rather than, hey, as opposed to just selling boxes, let's sell the ecosystem. Let's sell the experience of Xbox.

And that is going to determine a lot of what I think that launch is going to look like, right? Yeah. How much of it is going to feel like a, hey, next-gen Xbox Series X?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
Or how much of it is going to be, hey, we have a new suite of hardware coming. It's the handheld. It's the new box. It's the dongle or whatever it is. I'm so fascinated by what the marketing is going to be of that.

Have we been talking about that or have we been talking about this Asus thing? Great question. That's a great question. The vibe I've always gotten from the conversations and reports and everything is that it's happening right now. It's happening soon. It's happening this year. And I think those conversations are probably more about this, but an Xbox thing is happening.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
And yeah, like it feels far away, but also I'm kind of excited for it being far away because the further away it is, it coming out alongside the next gen, I think just means more compatibility for next gen. Like, I think that is going to be us setting ourselves up for, hey, this is a thing that you're going to be able to use for four to seven years.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
It'll be more powerful than the series. I think it'll take the role that the Series S did this gen of, this is going to be your lowest skew Xbox thing. Brilliant.

Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
And we are very much encouraging developers to like, hey, this is the lowest skew right here. You got to make sure that you're hitting this. You got to make sure that you're supporting the Xbox handheld. My question then becomes...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
got to make it powerful in that case how powerful can you make it to where it's still affordable and makes sense because if an xbox handheld comes out and the let's say the xbox series x2 is 700 and the xbox handheld is 650 does that make sense can that work like do you need to put out another series s that is the 400 entry point we will see we will see we will see it's going to be very very care

yeah i the way the way i see it i i i see the xbox handheld just being the the premium product right i think paris makes a good point of like this thing could even be just as if not more expensive than the actual xbox console and i think that better fucking be as powerful then yeah well it's not gonna be as powerful that's the thing where if you can't do that i know but i do think that like i i do think that makes this make more sense of hey let's get out something let's i think
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
Best case scenario, based on this reporting, if this Asus thing can come out at $500, and it's crazy to say this, be the lower entry point into having an Xbox handheld, I think that then allows you to look at the official, official Xbox handheld and go, all right, give this all the bells and whistles. Give it the OLED. Give it everything.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
And it's never going to be as powerful as the Xbox Series X2, because that's just impossible. But if you can make it the most refined premium handheld possible and put it out for $800... Like, you're selling that to your most core audience, but also the value could be there if you put it there.

I got three thoughts here. Oh, here we go. I got three thoughts. First thought, we got to look out for Virtuous toward the end of the year in the Studio of the Year conversation. Okay, okay. Because it seems like they're putting this out in the next few months, which is really cool. They're putting out Metal Gear Solid Delta, which is probably one of the bigger releases of the year.

Yesterday, me and Tim were talking about how they've expanded with a new studio in Korea. I feel like they might be a low-key contender for a studio of... either like upcoming studio of the year or just straight up studio of the year if they nail these two projects that we know that they have coming out. So that's first observation. Yeah, I love that. Second observation is
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
We were putting this out. It seems like they might either shadow drop or put this out a week or a month after revealing it. That shocks me, right? Is that not a weird thing to do with an Elder Scrolls game?

Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
I understand that it's Oblivion and Oblivion's old, but if you're remaking an Unreal Engine 5, why wouldn't that be like a... Why wasn't it announced at E3 last year and promoted and all this shit? I mean... And that might tie into my third observation, which is this coming out... very shortly after Avowed, I feel like is weird timing. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25

I think it's going to be fine, but I do wonder if maybe that is why you don't, you haven't been promoting it for the last year is like, I do think that if you're promoting this and avowed and both of them are coming spring, 2025, like, I could see there being some kind of confusion. Yeah, that's true.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Report: Handheld Plans, Next-Gen Coming 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.13.25
And granted, I could also see this just being a weird, hey, we're Microsoft and we own everybody now. Because there's also Fable that was supposed to come out sometime in 2025, is now delayed to 2026. I think when you're talking about, hey, we want to promote, you're in 2024 at this point, we want to promote what's coming out next year.

We got Outer Worlds 2, we got Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remake, and we have Fable. Oh, also this fall, we have a VAL. Oh shit, a VAL got delayed in 2025.

It's a new game. It's a thing, but it's not, I mean. In Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remake in Unreal Engine 5, the first, I won't say the first, because I guess Skyrim gets re-released all the time, right? But like a notable, I'll say, launch in the Elder Scrolls franchise. Like we know we're not going to get Elder Scrolls 6, Until I'm 80 years old. This seems like something. If I'm Microsoft.

Bayside High, that's where they went. That is where they went. Did That's So Raven and Saved by the Bell have the same... That must just be a coincidence, right? That's not the same high school. I mean, can you imagine? I think they're both called Bayside. Correct me if I'm wrong about the That's So Raven high school. Did Raven go to the Max? Because if so, then we're definitely.

PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Andy, Mike, anything else to say about that one? It looks fantastic. I think art direction, every... I think it's really great for a game that you may not be super sold on for them to show off. They showed off a lot of different environments. And I think that's something you do to show people like, no, this is a real game. Look at all these different places that you can play.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
These are, you know, real environments that you will be sort of doing in addition to not only these multiple environments, but here are a lot of the different bosses that you will be fighting and encountering with a lot of their movesets and a lot of their combos and things like that. It looks, It looks incredible so far.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
If you're worried. I will say, hold on, real quick, with Lost World aside, that's where it starts ramping up in, oh, banger, banger, banger, non-stop, non-stop, where the first several games before that was like... I mean, see, I thought that was Shinobi. Shinobi, like, that was the second game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Okay, but Shinobi looked cool, and at the end of it, at the end of a normal state of play, I would have been, Shinobi was probably the coolest thing we saw there. You know, for these Force 4 games, we have Sonic, we have Monster Hunter. I'm like, this is kind of what I expect from these showcases.

They have little skateboarding mini games, you know, so you can go from spot to spot. Like, this seems like... This felt like a natural evolution for 2K. We know what they do.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I'm just always a sucker for Borderlands games. I think they're the ones that sort of started the whole... My version of what looter shooters are and playing with friends online and just... It's junk food. It is empty calories. Maybe you can pay attention to the story, maybe you don't, but it's just pure gunplay fun. And now that I'm on...

PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
I do have a lot of faith this time around with the writing team involved, and, you know, especially with how some of the writers on the team have been talking about the past experiences and being like, no, like, you know, Get that humor out of here. We're kind of bringing a new flavor with not all the sort of cheesy tone that they were going for. I'm sure we'll still see a bit of that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
But I don't know if... One game that I wish I played through all the way of was Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, which is a game that I feel like just that side little... Not even DLC. It was just its own spin-off that came out after Borderlands 3. And... I was much more impressed by the writing there than I was in Borderlands 3.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
The comedic writing, I feel like, was a lot more like when Tim calls it the chip damage. I thought it was a lot sharper than it was ever in Borderlands 3, because Borderlands 3, I think, just completely missed the mark. But, yeah, I'm stoked for Borderlands 4. You know, it's...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Or a little higher than he is. Oh, fuck you guys. Because I'm getting a hint of Scottish, I think. I was doing my penguin a whole lot today. He's a dream big, you know. It's a good state of play. It's a good state of play.

PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Probably going to disappoint me in some ways here and there, but for a game that is just there to have explosive fun, throwing crazy grenades and all these wild power-ups, really stoked for it.

I don't see this game not making our top 10 this year. With the amount of people that are going to be interested in it, just from the concept alone, hey, it's another version. If it takes two, it's the next game from those next devs. But if they just did that and there was a big drop in quality, obviously we wouldn't love it as much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
But what we experienced and the amount of variety that we were shown and the amount of quality that was in that variety was just holy shit. They have another banger on their hands. Hell yeah.

PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Yeah, definitely a weird surprise. But it kind of makes sense to see these... Larger third-party publishers, we're seeing more and more of them get into this smaller game space and try to... How can we have smaller teams working on smaller projects that can tide us over until the next thing we want to work on? It makes sense, and I'm happy that it also looks good.

It doesn't look like a cash grab, but go for it. I was going to say, I'm with you, Andy, but Konami? That's the part where I get confused. And I... I think just because we haven't seen it from them yet, but I think maybe this is where it starts.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Yeah, this one looks fantastic, and... Again, I'm just, this is the one where they didn't really talk about what the, in the last time we saw, they were very directed at the camera saying, this game, you don't know shit. You got to figure it all out by yourself. I wasn't expecting to see this many cut scenes in the game where you don't know shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
I thought it'd be a lot more from softying and like, you know, there's rarely story moments. You're just kind of, you know piecing some puzzles together and getting to the next point but I'm super excited to see how a game developer can try to pull off what the task at hand of like there's no waypoints there's no radar there's no map you just figure your shit out
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
And you can really immerse yourself. But because the games aren't necessarily designed with that in mind, it's more of a visual noise choice and less of a, you know... Back in the day with old games, like, you know, talking like old Zeldas back in the day, people saying, oh, yeah, you get that one piece near the beach. And you're like, oh, I remember a beach being over here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
I would give this like a nine. This is an amazing for me. If we're doing review scores, I... Because there was so many things that I wasn't expecting to see. And, you know, getting Liza P DLC in addition to all of these awesome looking action games. And I'm sure to some people who don't give a shit about these games, it just becomes noise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
But for this game to be designed for the ground up with that in mind already, like, this is... Our whole mission statement is... to be this game that you are just kind of discovering things on your own, I think, is really novel and cool.

Kyoto-based Creative Studio Q Games has officially revealed Dreams of Another, the latest title by multimedia artist Bayan, the director of Pixel Junk Eden.

Rather than destroying objects by shooting, as in traditional shooting games, here are your shots materializing create the world.

I was going to say, like, I understand the, you know, the theme of, like, you know, these weapons are creating and not destroying, right? But while watching it, I kind of wished... I had the same sort of vibe as Power World Micro. I'm like, I don't want... Shoot. I don't want, like, a gun with this kind of silly, cute-looking character. But in this game, I was hoping for more of a... Res style.

PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Very excited about this because this is from the developer of Ruiner. One of my... Like a really standout but underplayed sort of top-down action game. Ruiner had just incredible vibes art direction-wise and music-wise. And yeah, this was the one with that sick-ass sort of, you know, that sort of soundtrack.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
I'm super excited about it because Ruiner was great, and I've always been wondering, what are they doing? Maybe they put something out in between then that didn't really... hit the radar, but this is very exciting to know that these are the devs who just have an eye for what works and what sounds good and looks good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
I would say so. I think, yeah, the crosshair in some of those moments definitely gets those vibes too. I'm super excited about it. Again, this is another one of those that had no idea it existed. Now I do. May 6th. May 6th, man. Awesome.

I have the write-up real quick from PlayStation Blog. Before we dive deeper into the gameplay, let's introduce you to the world of Metal Eden. Well, let's not. Let me kind of skip forward a little bit. One of the most unique gameplay mechanics in Metal Eden is core ripping. Oh my god, we're getting a re-core. This is basically a sequel to re-core right here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
You rip the core out, dude. This feature enhances the combat experience by adding a strategic layer to how players engage with enemies. In this post, we'll delve into how you can master this ability. But yeah, in this trailer, today... We show off the multi-tool. Asuka can use its gravity beam to rip cores out of enemies' bodies.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Once grabbed, you can throw their core at enemies, creating an explosion, brutal core ripping for quick and effective enemy disposal. But yeah, this is find an unarmored enemy, get close and aim. They're just talking about kind of like different moments of gameplay. But yeah, super stoked about it. Looks awesome.

PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Like, they're nailing it. This sounds great. I am more excited for this than any other first party thing they're working on. Like, even Intergalactic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Like, I... I just think of true detective carcosa, the, you know, the old sort of, uh, tales of the, the yellow King. God damn, dude.

Woody Harrelson, yeah. He's a true detective, too. Yeah. Met him at the airport.

You never saw True Detective?

Zombieland. It's, like, a big part of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Because True Detective is a real big part of, like, or a Star Wars story.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
You're right. It's that crime show, right? But then, you know, they're finding that these killers, these killings have a lot to do with, like, weird, spooky type of shit in there.

I love my DualSense Edge. I bought one, and that fucking backpack, it just, like, always kind of falls out of place.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Because you could replace them and it... It's just always... Maybe I'm using it too much. Going too hard on it. Engine too hard. Engine too hard.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
It's perfect because I was... really worried that they were going to go far off in a different direction when they said we're not making Returnal 2. And that scared me. I'm like, oh man, that game was really good. And you guys are obviously very good at making this style of game, whether it be top-down or from this now behind-the-back third-person sort of vibe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
I'm so excited that we're essentially just getting... kind of a spiritual successor.

I don't know if you can... Just didn't punch. I don't know if you could do that anymore. Like, I... We've seen it so many times in different iterations, whether it's a story thing with a narrator, whether we get, you know, little voice acting hints here and there. I don't know how else they can feed us this same meal. You know, it's just like, here's more of it. And here's the date.

The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Yeah. Yeah. I saw your tweet or blue sky or whatever it was last night about, yeah, having FOMO already.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
So wait, you're saying I actually haven't caught this. Shannon Woodward is listed as presenting an award and Hideo is listed as presenter or vice versa.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Well, right now, based on that information and wildly speculating, Shannon Woodward comes out with the actress who's playing Dina, and they present the first clip of Dina in Last of Us Part II. See, that's, yeah. Because we've seen her, right? We know the casting, but we haven't seen it in action or whatever. Yeah. You drop an HBO trailer there with that. Do you think she mentions Gundog?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
No, I don't think she does. I think she distanced herself from Gary Whitta. He's a problem. Fair enough. And then what's Hideo?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
It says presenter on there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Okay. Well, then, yeah, I'm saying Troy will present performance, actor, whatever they call it, performance. Then Shannon will present the clip from that, and then Hideo will present the one and only Death Stranding 2 trailer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
And some OD stuff, like I said. You think both? I mean, I think you doubled down. 10th anniversary with Hideo there?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I think it benefits him. I think having Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions be a thing makes a lot of sense, right? You want as much juice out of these projects that are still so far away.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Yeah, but I think that's the thing where it's like Kojima and Jeff have never been afraid to really get their stuff far out. And I think, again, with all we have is that mo-cap stuff from before, right? Again, a little clip. A little scary thing. A little cool clip. Hunter Schaefer running from something.

An apparent ad for the game went live on YouTube earlier today. Ex-user... I'm going to say D-Jari 2020, but it could be DJ Ari 2020. But then why would you not uppercase Ari? What if it's Jari?

Yeah, fentanyl's bad. Don't do fentanyl. More Game Awards stuff. Accidental overdose of codeine and oxycodone. Oh, man. I don't like that at all. Electric Gregtar. I like that a lot. I predict this every year, so I'm going to keep it going until it happens. Sorry, Konami is going to tease a brand new Castlevania game. Oh, I would love for that to happen. That'd be cool. That'd be really cool.

Sure, that'd be dope as hell. Honey says in a Super Chat, my prediction is that Kojima will do a backflip. Remember, of course, Snow Mike Mike has one week to do a backflip to learn how to do it. One week? I think it was a year ago he said he would do it on whatever date we're about to do it, but next week at the holiday party, I think Snow Mike Mike has to do a backflip, so be ready for that.

The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Light No Fire is a game about adventure, building, survival, and exploration together. Set on a fantasy planet the size of Earth, it brings the depth of a role-playing game and the freedom of a survival sandbox. I think that's a safe bet. That makes sense for that. I think a trailer, yes, I do agree. Release window, I'm going to say no. Maybe a 2025 on it. I don't know if that counts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24

I think it's going to happen. Sounds like it's going to happen. IMO. Number five on the Roper Report, former Bungie director Chris Barrett is suing Sony Interactive Entertainment and Bungie for more than $200 million. This is Kat Bailey at IGN.com.

The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Former Bungie director Chris Barrett is suing PlayStation and Bungie for more than $200 million, denying allegations of sexual misconduct and claiming that his firing was intended to avoid paying out nearly $50 million owed under his employment agreement. IGN has reached out to Sony and Bungie for comment.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
The 81-page lawsuit lays out seven counts against Bungie and SIE, including Family and Medical Leave Act, retaliation, defamation, and breach of contract. Barrett is seeking at least $100 million in defamation damages in addition to more than $90 million for money owed under retention agreements, alleged Washington Rebate Act violations, and other compensation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Reports emerged earlier this year that Barrett, a Bungie employee who has also worked on Halo and Destiny, was fired from his position as Marathon's director after an internal misconduct investigation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
A Bloomberg report cited several sources claiming that Barrett, quote, called lower-level female employees attractive, asked them to play truth or dare, and made references to his wealth and power within the studio, suggesting that he could help advance their careers, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Barrett released a statement at the time saying, quote, I feel that I have always conducted myself with integrity and been respectful and supportive of my colleagues, many of whom I consider my closest friends. I never understood my communications to be unwanted and I would have never thought they could possibly have made anyone feel uncomfortable.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
If anyone ever felt that way about my interaction with me, I am truly sorry. Barrett's lawsuit alleges that he was scapegoated for Bungie's overall struggles in the wake of the PlayStation acquisition and that the investigation was used as cause to fire him after requesting FMLA, the family leave.

Barrett alleges that he sought to take mental health leave in late 2023, but was instead removed from his role on Marathon. In describing the investigation to his conduct, Barrett claims that he was confronted about what he described as unspecified texts, but...

It says, but, and then parentheses, but failed to show Barrett any of the communications, identify any of the recipients or senders, or even disclose when the communications took place, thereby rendering Sony's supposed investigation into these texts pointless and failing to meet any professional standards for conducting an investigation, end quote.

The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Prepare to be surprised. Would you have been surprised by that? Now that I think that's so, oh, well, they said this, so it's going to be two, makes me go, what if this is going to be something about the live action movie? Remember, that was the whole thing, right? With the John Wick director.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
See, have they even cast it? I don't think they've even casted it. I did the quick Google. I found Adam Bankhurst's article from IGN in 2020, December, so two years ago. Sifu live-action adaptation announced with John Wick creator Derek Kolstad. So maybe it is casting. That would make a lot of sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
That would be my thing, is you come out on stage and you're like, please welcome whoever's going to be Sifu, right? And that's the announcement. I think that'd be sick. I do agree that would be sick, but now have we set expectations too high with Please Be Surprised?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24

See, that's my thing is I think really what it is is I'm guessing, and Kevin, you're welcome to pull up links and prove me right or wrong as I go, I would guess that the Sifu game account has more followers than the Slow Clap account, right? Probably, yeah.

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Can we not enjoy both of these things? Now, is this on Twitter? Because Twitter, there's a level of like, I forget what they call it, but like baiting people's anger on Twitter where I'll read a thing and I'm like, oh, you almost got me.

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Yeah. It's weird. Leave Nintendo out of it. Nintendo's such a different company than PlayStation and Xbox. And, like, all three, PlayStation, Xbox, and PlayStation have never been more different than ever before.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
It might not be as big of a success as the Switch in terms of a worldwide seller. That thing is a success in my household. The way the Steam Deck, this year so far, the Steam Deck I think is the number one platform just for me and my gaming.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
The way that I'm looking at even AAA games now, where AAA games usually all lean more toward PlayStation because I like the trophies and also that's just where I'm used to playing the most and also it's kind of just ease of access, ease of use. I got the edge, all that shit. There's some AAA games I'm looking at nowadays where I'm like, Give me the Steam Deck, actually.

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you, Cap. Story number two. Switch 2 edition titles contain both the game and upgrade on the cart. Nintendo clarifies. Until tomorrow. Speaking about clarifications, right? This is Chris Golian at Video Games Chronicle. Nintendo has clarified the situation regarding physical Switch 2 edition cartridges.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Confusion arose last week when a Nintendo customer service representative told one user that Switch 2 edition games would include the base Switch 1 game as well as the upgrade in the form of a download code. Nintendo has now stated that this is not the case and that Switch 2 edition games will contain both the game and the upgrade on the cartridge itself.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Yo. Do you have any availability to help me jumpstart my car? Because I fucked up. But because of that, right? I get into work a little bit late. I start prepping KHD from home. This is the whole thing. But I missed out on the triple I initiative. I would have missed out anyway because I prepped KHD during that time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
In a statement to VOOX, a Nintendo spokesperson said, quote, physical versions of Switch 2 edition games will include the original Switch game and its upgrade pack all on the same card, i.e. they're exclusively Switch 2 game cards with no download code. Alternatively, some publishers may release Nintendo Switch 2 edition games as download codes in physical packaging with no game card.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
But I think that's a sign of where you take the next Subspace Emissary. Get rid of this 2D platformer bullshit. It's called Smash Run. Just give me, no, just give me, but I want cut scenes. You just want a movie. You just want a Smash Run movie. I want a movie, but then put fights in between the movies.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25

Who's picking Bowser Jr.?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
I don't know anybody who's using Bowser Jr. in Smash.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Yeah, I don't think I know anybody who's using the all costumes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
How often do we play Smash? Not enough.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Nintendo's weird. They're not that weird. They're not that weird.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
One of the biggest upsets of me being hired by kind of funny is that we played smash way less than I imagined this company would play. I thought we'd be playing smash all the time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
That was really upsetting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
And I get the global pandemic happened, which I'm sure messed that up. It's sad. We never got back to it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
But, like, when you say Switch 2 Enhanced, are you thinking just base remaster? Or are you thinking plus, like, more content? Or are you just saying in general?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Oh, interesting. Yeah, I can see it. That is a whole games cast, because out of all those, I agree, but I might have an argument against Animal Crossing, because if you do like a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Animal Crossing, then like, Are you going to do that and then also have another original Switch iteration of that? Because I think you want to have that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
I think we never hear from Animal Crossing New Horizons again. I think they're cooking the next thing, and I think they don't want New Horizons to get in the way of how much the next thing's going to sell.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Yeah. I think there's anything Nintendo cares about the least. It's people bitching. I mean, that's true. That is true. We got some super chats coming in. One from Enerjetstream who writes in and says, love how positive you both stayed during the madness of the Switch 2. Had to put my listening of Kit and Krista on hold due to the negativity filling their pod.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Hey, you don't talk shit about Kit and Krista. They were in there, man. They know. They know. Yeah, and that's the thing is like, you're talking about experts. I've been meaning to actually listen to their coverage of Switch 2. Yeah. But they say, thanks for helping my package delivery filled day fly by. You're welcome for that. Thank you so much for the super chat. Hell yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Yeah, I've been seeing, like, I don't know why TikTok is, I mean, I know why. It's because the algorithm is just insane. But, like, I was having issues for a while with my, like, one of my tires either had, like, the tiniest hole or something. But, like, every few months, I would get that signal. And I'm like, I'll just, I'll get it fixed. But first, I'll just take this to the gas station.

Volk Dasher writes in and says, You know, I think you're making a good point. It's time to admit it. It's time to acknowledge that Last of Us is a big IP. All right? You're right, Volk. I mean, obviously, you're right. I mean, Volk. It's just funny. Bigger than God of War?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
I think it's the most neck and neck thing. Right now, I think Last of Us is up because of the HBO show. But I think once that Amazon show comes out, I really think these two franchises are so neck and neck. And I don't know, like... There's going to have to be, like, a... I don't even know what it is. Something is going to have to push one ahead.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
It's just people. I think God of War also just has a longevity to you. I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
starting off on the playstation 2 generation and being such a hit on the ps2 generation kind of gives it that head start of there's an extra generation of gamers that like were into god of war right there's a history and like a nostalgia there that last was of course has because like that spans back to 2013 but it's like different when you span back to 2004 yeah um and like i'm i yeah i've not thought about that as far as
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
how much further can you go with Last of Us before you burn people out versus how much further you can still go with God of War just based on what they are. I'm somebody who, I think in terms of setting and in terms of, I guess just IP in general, I lean more towards Last of Us because I like post-apocalypse. I like those characters. I like that world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
But if Last of Us didn't get another game, I would be so okay, right? But like, right now for God of War, I don't think I expect another iteration, at least of like this current God of War that we have. And I'm kind of sad about it. I could use more God of War, but I don't know. I think the next time we see it, it's going to be reinvented. Yeah, potentially.

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
The Mail said the project, which would have been based on the long-running Tomb Raider video game franchise, may have been impacted when head of Amazon Studios Jennifer Salke, who greenlit the show, was booted from her position last week.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
However, Puck reports Salke provided a brutal update before she left Amazon, intimating Waller-Bridge had allegedly not produced a script despite the $20 million a year deal she signed in 2019. Damn.

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Nonetheless, the deal was renewed, with Puck reporting that Salke was, quote, personally overseeing after announcing a series pickup last May, and the series has now gone through two writers' rooms and tens of millions of dollars in development costs. There's still no script, end quote.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
It's going to be good. It brings me back to like when we, when the X cast got to interview Phil Spencer, right. Or like the more journalistic leaning pieces of content that kind of funny only gets to make once in a blue moon. And so I'm very excited to check that out. Cause that sounds really cool. Tomorrow it begins. I remember we're an 11 person business all about live talk shows. So today.

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Dude, I would love to see it. I would love to play it at Summer Game Fest. But, like, I don't know. Starting the rumor now. I just think it's a weird thing. The only reason I would think you wouldn't show any gameplay at Switch 2 would be that you would have to show the Switch 2 build of the game.

That's how the trailer showed it off.

And there's a conversation to be had there. I almost wonder if they called it Switch Play. Kind of like Wii Play, right? And, like, framed it more of a... As a... No, this is an actual game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Like, this is an actual, like, experience that you might come back to and do all that shit, right? Still would be grubby from the sense of we all have eyes. Or, like, most of us have eyes, right? That can see, oh, no, this is... I know what this is, right? Like, this is a tech demo. This is to introduce us to the system. The whole framing of it just feels off.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Almost as if it was supposed to be free. And then at the last second, they're like, oh, actually, we need more money out of this thing, right? Like, it... It is weird. A question that I'll throw to you, Tim, is this overblown? I think this is one of those ones with that. I think we can all agree that this is wrong.

I can't wait for this, because do you want to see the topic of it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
which I'm excited for because for a list like this, it's almost like we get to do a two-parter games cast in one where the first half of the show, we get to just talk about like, what do we think are the most influential games of all time, which ends up just being a great conversation period. But then, yeah, the second half of it gets to be a reaction. And I was talking shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
That VOD, you want that to be the most viewed thing. You want people to come back and re-watch that Nintendo Switch 2 Direct in the same way that you want people to come back and re-watch the State of Play for the trailers, for the excitement, for the hype. And then you can give the details out on a PlayStation blog later and then put in the bad details there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
And for Nintendo, it's over the course of a week or two weeks or maybe two months. We'll see how long we keep getting news tidbits of like, oh man, the Switch robs my house after I play it for 50 hours? That's fucked up. Yeah. It shouldn't do that kind of thing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
And that's the thing is, you know, there was a chat from way earlier that was, it's not overblown, it's emblematic of a larger issue, which kind of is what you were getting at before of when these things compound of these smaller things that people are mad at. then it turns into a bigger thing when it isn't just, oh, I had to pay $10 for a welcome tour.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Like, for a while there, right, just knowing I had to pay a price for a welcome tour, not even just the $10, it's the fact that, not even knowing, I had to pay a price for this. Oh, Mario Kart's going to be $80? Oh, the Switch is going to be $450? Like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

It's all the good kind of funny content matched into one thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Things start to compound in a way where then every little thing feels a bit more, a bit more anger inducing as far as what the actual detail of it is. The other thing I want to bring, bring up that I saw in chat after saying like, Oh, there are certain things we've out. Cause it's bad news.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Now, we're not done with this story because I do have a footnote here. Put the little note there. This is more from the Kojima interview I'm sourcing directly from VGC Reporting. And I'm just going to call this one Roger did it, everybody. I'm reading directly from Video Games Chronicle here. How did you approach building the soundtrack for DS2?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
That was one of the questions written in there during the interview. Kojima responds, Same as with actor casting. I contact them directly and I ask them if we can use their songs. Or sometimes they tell me they want to write a song for the game and we go back and forth. I was listening to Carolyn Polachek last year and became a big fan of hers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
After I put that on my Instagram, she contacted me and then we DM'd. We kept in touch and eventually met up in Paris. And that's when she told me she wanted to write a new song for Death Stranding 2. She works very fast. You heard her song when you saw the plate gate. It's called On the Beach.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
We talked for about 30 to 40 minutes. I also had a conversation with SkillUp and Dan Riker. Pretty cool. In Tokyo, we were like, yo, we should have a conversation since all three of us have played a lot of this fucking game. Between the three of us, at that point, we had the conversation. I think combined, it's about 70 hours, 70 to 90 hours, somewhere in that realm, that large window.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I'm like, how much time do y'all think I got to talk to Kojima? I'm there to play a game.

This episode is brought to you by Imperial. We've told you all how important it is to developers to wishlist games that you're interested in. So if this sounds cool to you, make sure you wishlist it. Imperial is a complex feature rich action RPG where you'll be sent to a planet in a far off corner of the galaxy to explore an imposing monolith.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
As an elite mercenary, you'll join the expedition tasked with unearthing the secrets of the Monolith and face off against the deadly automatons within. In Imperial, you'll explore four vastly different quadrants of the Monolith, accessible only by using mysterious artifacts known as cartograms.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Each cartogram affects which enemies, boss fights, and loot will appear when you enter the Monolith, so no two excursions will be the same. Find even more cartograms to explore by looting defeated enemies or buy them from other players online at the Trading Post.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Imperial features three weapon archetypes, the fast-paced Acrobatic Glaive, the defense-focused Mason Shield, or the Devastating Cannon, with a range of customizable skills and abilities that can make short work of the awaiting automatons. Your weapons and abilities can be changed before any excursion into a cartogram.

Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
But it's a really good conversation. That's the second half of the Gamescast. I think it is a must-watch Gamescast. If you're interested in Death Stranding 2, or if you're not interested in Death Stranding 2, I think this is one that everybody's going to want to pay attention to. I got a lot to say about this game. I like it, Bless.

Now, Mike, during the break, you were poo-pooing all over this controller. You were saying it looks like crap.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I don't mind it, but I think I am grading on a curve, to your point. Like, PlayStation, yeah, to your point, usually doesn't nail the partnership ones.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Out of the partnership ones, I actually do like this one. I like the design on the touchpad. I like the... I think Kojima Productions has a good eye for...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
ui and just design like visual design in general so i love how that translates to the controller but i i feel you okay i think when i compare it to the xbox controllers like you mentioned during the break of the this is an xbox controller it looks so cool it might be easy to say that because xbox their best-selling hardware is the controller yeah maybe really doubling down on that oh man you know i have more xbox controllers than games i've played on my xbox okay back on track we gotta get back on track

Sorry, back on track. We're on track this episode. Zeke Speak writes in and says, Kojima channeling Bo Burnham, maybe having access to everything every person is doing at all times forever isn't the best path for humanity.

We lost it. Do you think OD will remain an Xbox exclusive now? I mean, did they ever announce it as an Xbox exclusive?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
No, I didn't have the bandwidth for it for all that. But what I did was, yeah, after coming home every night after playing DS2, I would then record like a 10 to 15 minute journal. talking about my experience that day with the game, talking about, like, my thoughts as they evolve, right? Me kind of crystallizing my preview thoughts in real time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Like I would have to rewatch the trailer again to see what the wording is. But if it was announced as exclusive before. Maybe a timed exclusive at most is what you'll get.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Yeah. Let's see here. Let's see here. We'll do one more from Charlie Nuggets. Okay, one more. Good morning, Blessed Mike. Do you feel that we're at the point in his career that we can reasonably talk about Kojima the same way we do for Hayao Miyazaki and Osamu Tezuka, the grandfather of manga? I mean... I guess it depends on the ways in which you're talking about them, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Are you saying that Kojima is a legendary video game designer? Then yes, I think we can talk about him in that way. But I think all three of the people you mentioned are contributing to their mediums in different ways. If you're asking me who the Miyazaki is of video games, I think I would go to Miyamoto first.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Yeah. Story number three, Mafia the Old Country promises a return to the old ways and less open world bloat. This is Michael McWhirter at Polygon. And you know what? How much time do we got? I was going to say let's live react, but let's maybe just play the trailer in the background and watch it as I read through the story that breaks things down.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
2K Games and developer Hangar 13 revealed a longer look at gameplay from Mafia The Old Country on Thursday, showing how the origin story for the Mafia franchise stands apart from the open world organized crime competition. In fact, Hangar 13 is hinting strongly that it has no intentions to make Mafia The Old Country your next forever game. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Instead, the game's creators call The Old Country, quote, a focused, linear experience that combines quality storytelling, authentic era immersion, and a refined take on the familiar Mafia gameplay. Hangar 13 president Nick Baines said in a news release that the smaller, more linear approach allows us to deliver a story that's gritty, grounded, brutal, and emotional.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Further reinforcing the smaller, less bloated design of Mafia the Old Country is this statement from the president of Publisher 2K, David Ismailier, who said, quote, We think there's a large audience for compelling stories that don't require massive time commitments.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Ismailier said that the Old Country, quote, can easily complement the other, more persistent games our players also love and engage with on a more consistent basis, end quote. The strongest evidence of Mafia The Old Country's scope is its price. 2K is selling the base game for $49.99. There's a deluxe edition that costs $59.99 and includes a bunch of extras.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
And so I recorded about four of those, stitched them together, and it's about an hour long of me just talking about Death Stranding 2 on the Gregway, only on Patreon, or if you have the kind of funny membership. Giving you all the Death Stranding 2 content you need today. Oh, I got so much to talk about. Come on. I got stuff that I haven't even talked about yet.

This goes back to what I was talking about yesterday when we were talking about EA and how EA was saying that like, you know, the thing about value, which is PR speak, but also like, Nice PR speak, I guess, as far as what they're saying.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I think that a lot of publishers right now are probably looking at the prices of their games and going, how do we take advantage of a situation that is in flux right now, right? Everybody's moving up to $80. Hey, like, Mafia coming out at $50 is going to be so fucking good for it, I think. I want a AAA experience that I'm going to be able to fall in love with.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I'm going to get a third-person action game. Oh, $50? Yeah, I'm going to buy that over whatever random $80 game is on the shelf right now. I hope we see quite a bit of that. I hope we see people exploring the scale of price a bit more.

Story number four, Remedy's next game, Remedy's next big game, I should say, is being made for less money, but can still be great, the CEO says. This is Steven Totillo at GameFile. Taro Bertala, CEO of Remedy, briefly startled me back in March when we met to discuss the acclaimed Finnish studio he's been leading since 2016.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Remedy is renowned for spooky single-player thrillers such as Alan Wake and Control, and is celebrated for the idiosyncratic idiosyncratic tastes of its game creators we got there. At Remedy, Rotala handles the less-discussed business end of things. So, in a hotel room near the GDC conference downtown SF, our conversation wasn't about characters, controls, or cutscenes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
We talked about the industry, about how Remedy was doing, and about the big changes the studio had been making. For a moment, we were talking about game budgets.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I brought up the budget for Remedy's next big single-player game, Control 2, which the publicly traded studio told investors is being developed for 50 million euros, or $57 million, split between Remedy and the Hollywood movies and game production company Annapurna.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I hadn't been sure what the development costs were for Remedy's last big single-player game, 2023's multiple Game of the Year award-winning Alan Wake 2. Then came the surprise. Alan Wake 2's budget, compared to Control 2's, Ritala told me, was a bit higher. And there we had it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
In this era of ballooning game budgets, here was a rare instance of a development studio acknowledging that they'll be making their next big single-player game for less than their last one. Vertala believes that 50 million euros is enough to make a great remedy game. Quote, I think with that, we can create excellent games, he said.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
If the team sticks to that budget and the game sells 2 million units, we are at break even per game. He added, quote, that then builds the basis that if we create an excellent game and it happens to sell 4 million or 5 million units, then we are really happy, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Recent history has shown Vertala that it would be wise to get budgets a little more under control to get costs lower by planning and designing games with more realistic goals, maybe getting them done faster in the process too. To achieve this, Remedy has a strategy, one that Vertala believes can help the studio and perhaps could help the industry bounce back from a financially rough stretch.

I want to see how this works out in the long term because I hope this is a thing where we can continue to see the success of Remedy and this ends up being a thing that we see a lot of other studios take inspiration from. I think the sucky thing about big business and shareholders is it's all about making the numbers go up.

And so when that happens, you see people balloon, balloon, balloon, and now you see layoffs, layoffs, layoffs as the numbers have stopped going up as much for shareholders and shareholders are pulling out and the money is being taken out of the video game space.

Also, you're correcting Kojima. You're not correcting us. Got him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's confusing also. You know, it's the 19th. I get that the first century was before year 100. I digress. Mike, that's it for KFGD. They told us to finish by 10.50. You know what time it is right now?

Hideo Kojima says he already has a concept for Death Stranding 3 in mind, but insisted that he will not be the person to direct it. Kojima, 61, is set to release the second Death Stranding game, On the Beach, exclusively for PS5 next month. Looking ahead, the Metal Gear creator has a full slate with Xbox title OD, a new action espionage game for PlayStation, and a movie in the works.

What a big bless.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
So it's perhaps unsurprising he feels like he likely won't be continuing Death Stranding himself. Speaking to VGC in a new Death Stranding preview, Kojima said that a concept introduced in On the Beach, Plate Gates, could allow future Death Stranding games to take place in different countries around the world. I talk about the Plate Gates in my preview.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
In short, Plate Gates are now the concept that are going to get you to different places because, fun fact, Death Stranding 2 takes place mostly in Australia. Check out my preview for more about that. Quote, if I use this plate gate concept, I could make endless sequels, he said. Quote, I, of course, don't have any plans to do that, but I already have a concept for another sequel.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I'm not going to make it myself, but if I pass it on to someone else, they could probably make it, end quote. Kojima also discussed how the COVID-19 pandemic convinced him to change the theme for the second Death Stranding, which has the tagline, quote, we should not have connected, end quote. Quote, we released Death Stranding before the COVID-19 pandemic, Kojima explained.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
The world was heading towards isolation and division, such as the UK leaving EU. So I was saying, let's connect. We're headed for disaster if we don't connect. That was the theme, story, and gameplay for Death Stranding. After the release, just three months later, we entered the pandemic, and I was really surprised. It looked like Death Stranding in a way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
In the real world, the 21st century, we have something similar to the Cairo network, which is the internet. This was a little different compared to the 19th century, such as the Spanish flu or the like. We survived the pandemic because of the Internet and people were connected online, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Kojima said he believes the same connectivity that helped people get through their lockdown experiences is now, in fact, dividing humanity. Quote, End quote. The Metal Gear creator said that even though he already had a concept in place for Death Stranding 2, after experiencing the pandemic, he felt it wasn't right and rewrote it. Quote, it's the strangest thing.

After I created a game with the theme of let's connect instead of division and isolation, we had the pandemic, and I began to think, maybe it's not such a good thing to connect so much, he said. It goes back to the stick and rope theory. There's a lot of foreshadowing in the game, so I'm sure many of you will understand when you play the game, and you'll know by the end.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
The things that I felt during the pandemic, there's a character in the game who expresses those feelings. The logo is a hint. You can see in the logo of Death Stranding that the strands are coming from below the logo with the theme of Let's Connect. This time in Death Stranding 2, you see the strands are coming from above the logo. Damn. It's like the Godfather logo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Even throughout the game, you see strands from many people like Dollman and the mech soldiers. Those are all hints. When you really start thinking about what it means to connect, you start to wonder, dot, dot, dot. That's all I'll say for now.

What I want to see from Kojima is for him to bring somebody up below him that is visible, that we can familiarize ourselves with, that has a big hand in the games that he's currently making. I hope that by the time we get around to OD and by the time we get to Fizzant, his PlayStation game, that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
There's other names that are outside of Kojima that are, oh, this guy is high up and he's doing the interviews and he's talking about the things that typically you would get from Kojima as far as talking about the broad, bigger concepts of the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I think we need Kojima to pass the baton in a way that is going to feel natural and give us the trust of, here's the next dev that's going to take over Kojima Productions when I'm gone. like make that transition happen. I think that's one of the things that I've been sad not to see yet from Kojima is that like, I don't know who the next Kojima is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I mean, we had interviews with the production team. So the Kojima interview that's being referenced here was a group interview. So we all submitted questions, and then he answered all the questions to the group. We also had interviews with the production team, which included Yoji Shinkawa and a few other leads on different departments of Kojima Productions.

fuels and functions like a team yeah um as it should right but if the idea is that oh i'm gonna pass on death stranding three to somebody else to do i think you gotta start sowing those seeds like we gotta start maybe he is behind the scenes and we just don't know i don't want to say that he's not doing that because i don't know what's going on um but i think it's worth it to maybe have that person on stage with you i think it's worth it to

I could see it. I mean, so I played 30 hours. They said that up to the part that they expected us to get to in Death Stranding 2, we would have played about 40% of the game in 30 hours. Okay, wow. Wow. I know, right? With playing what I've played, I think there's plenty of room to make more Death Stranding. And that's not even me speaking from a narrative perspective.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
That's more so me speaking of the gameplay being the fact that Death Stranding 2 And you're going to hear me say this during the preview, because I think I said this multiple times during the things that we recorded that are coming as the games cast, right? This is the rare direct sequel that is almost purely iterating on top of what Death Stranding 1 has done, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
As far as what I played so far in the first 40%, there could be a twist after what I played. I have no idea. But when you think about what Kojima usually does, Metal Gear Solid 2, way different game from Metal Gear Solid 1. You're playing as a different character. That jump from PS1 to PS2 kind of makes the gameplay feel different. MGS2 to MGS3, it's a prequel now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
You've gone back in time during, I believe, the Cold War, right? It is a different sort of feel of being in the jungle as opposed to being on the big shell. You jump to Metal Gear Solid 4, different ass-feeling game. You jump to MGS5, very different game, right? Kojima loves to...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
throw twists in there he loves to like innovate on like what he's doing he loves to try different things and Death Stranding 2 feels so much like Death Stranding 1 in all the good ways it is taking in all of the um and man I don't want to get my preview here because I don't want to spoil it right but I
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
It's taking in so much of the feedback from Death Stranding 1 and going, all right, how do we level up these systems? All right, how do we add more here? How do we add more tools here? How do we expand the weather systems, right? And so it feels like a big response to Death Stranding 1 in terms of making the gameplay feel better, more fun, and more engaging. And...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I think Death Stranding 2 will do a good job of getting people who might have been put off a little bit by the delivery gameplay of Death Stranding 1 and make it a bit more approachable and tangible for people. And I think a new set... I think this is the blueprint. I think 1000%, you can just have a new setting, add in more tools, add in a new story and just keep going with it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I think it is that kind of franchise. And I believe there's an audience for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Yes, yes, and yes. I think yes to all that. Death Stranding 1, as far as I understand, was successful in terms of sales.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I can double check to see what it did, but the fact that we're getting a Death Stranding 2 published by PlayStation again means that Death Stranding 1 did well enough for PlayStation to be like, oh, we should do another one of these, or we should partner with them for another one of these. I don't know where the second half of the story goes for DS2, so that's tough to say, but...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
Double dip. We're double dipping. That's going live on YouTube as well. And then after that is Gamescast, which is my Death Stranding 2 preview. It's a half and a half sort of deal. All right. I played about 30 hours of Death Stranding 2 when I went to Tokyo for a week a few weeks ago. I talked all about it with the one and only Andy Cortez. That's the first half of the preview.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I mean, you're getting a lot of new characters in this game. They're introducing you to a lot of new concepts in this game, right? It's built off of all the concepts of DS1, but one of the things I noticed with Death Stranding 2 is that They believe in the world of Death Stranding 1 so much. They're talking about the chiral network. They're talking about the BTs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
They're talking about the bridge babies. They're talking about connecting the BB. They're talking about connecting the country in all the similar ways as they did in Death Stranding 1. There's a doubling down in all those concepts where they're like, hey, we made this world. Now here's more story in this world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
I imagine by the time you finish this one, if you go to a different place, like, if you go to a different country, they're just gonna add in new characters and, like, build off... This is so character-driven in terms of what they're doing. So if you go to a new place, add in new characters, like, build on those stories, make them weird as fuck, like, yeah, I think there's more you can do there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kojima isn’t Making Death Stranding 3 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.08.25
And... On the flip side, you have OD, which is the Xbox thing, right? That's going to be horror and I think have a bit of a broader appeal to it. You have Fizzant, which is seemingly a return to a Metal Gear Solid type game that is going to have a lot of, that's going to sell like fucking crazy. That's going to do so good.

And I do think there's a difference between GTA and GTA Online in terms of how you can present them and how you can put them out. I don't think you can come out with a broken GTA single-player mode. I think you can sell millions and millions because it's GTA, but I just don't think Rockstar and Take-Two would do that. I think you value GTA too much to do that.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Where do you think that went wrong? Because I feel like Borderlands, during the Borderlands 1 and 2 era, it felt like it was selling like hotcakes. My normie friends were fucking with Borderlands. I think I've told this story on the podcast before of my friend Joe back in college.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
He worked for the engineering school, or he attended the engineering school, had access to a 3D printer, and he 3D printed his own cool-ass version of Catan that was Borderlands-themed. That's cool. I might stop a picture, maybe during the break, I can, like, try and find it and, like, send it to assets. And it was the coolest thing ever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
That's how much... And, like, he's... Joe was a gamer, right? But, like, I feel like that's how much people love Borderlands. People identify with it and want to love it. I feel like that shifted after Borderlands 3. Borderlands 3 felt like a turning point, and it's crazy because I don't think that game was bad. It seemed like people liked Borderlands 3 fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Like, Borderlands 3 was just more Borderlands. Do you think... Tiny Tina was just too much? Do you think the looter shooter genre has just become too populated? Like, what do you think that shift was?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I wonder if they're having those conversations. Of like, this writing needs to take a step up. Because I do wonder, was Borderlands 3's writing that much of a step down from 2 and 1? Because for what I played, I felt like it was on par. But I always feel like Borderlands always had the juvenile, like, kiddie humor. It was meme-y humor, right? Like, Claptrap has always been Claptrap to me. And I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
The jokes and the writing was never the reason I was playing Borderlands. It was always like, I want more guns, I want to unlock the loot. I like the world for what it is, right? I think the world is somewhat interesting, but for the juvenile aspect of it, that always felt like what was the case. And I wonder if it's a thing of maybe it just didn't grow with its audience.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Because if you played Borderlands 1 and... let's say 2009, 2010, and then you grow over the course of eight years or nine years, however long it was, and you're that much older and you're playing Borderlands 3, is it just the fact that you've outgrown this? Like, I don't find this funny anymore.

I think we're all feeling that until it feels a little bit realer. If they release another trailer in, let's say, December or January... And we get maybe more gameplay or we get a peek into like what their plans are for online or whatever. I wonder if then it starts to feel real enough to where we can be like, oh no, it's going to come out this fall.

I believe in Jeff for a lot of things, but I also think that like Rockstar and Take-Two, they know what they got and they know that nobody can fuck with them. Like, I think Jeff is outside the door weekly, outside that Take-Two door weekly, Strauss's door, just knocking. Let's build up a little partnership. Help me out. Strauss, let me get just one trailer, Strauss. Just one second of a trailer.

Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Let's have some fun. When you're the biggest kid on the block and you don't need shit from anybody, you're not going to play well with them. It's like, no, man, I'm rich. I'm in my mansion.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I don't think let's have some fun is a good enough reason for Rockstar and one of the highest grossing entertainment franchises. If not maybe the highest grossing, I don't know where the list is now. It's just a trailer. Give them the trailer. No! Give him the trailer! They're going to drop on a random Wednesday the way they always do because they're going to get the entire internet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
It's like, just put it on his show. It's a day later. When GTA 6, when the trailer came out last year, wasn't it like the number one video on YouTube? Yeah, and it was like two days before the Game Awards. That does nothing for them. I was just saying, just like put it on there. Come on now, help him out. I want to bring in more super, man, this thing is going slow. My browser is going crazy.

Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Let's see here. A Ross for words writes in, excuse me, and says, thought Tekken 8 had fighting game of the year locked up, but rivals of Aether 2 might be the best platform fighter I've ever played. Want to show it love. I need to get on that. Have you jumped on that yet?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Yeah, is it, like, chat, is it early access or is it, like, release, release? Because, yeah, like, that's one that I want to check out because it's been really tough for me to get into a platform fighter that's not Smash Brothers. And I know Rivals of Aether is, like, it's indie, it's from people who are fans of Melee and, like, you know, do this shit, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
And so it's one that I definitely want to check out because I've heard good things about it. But, yeah, when I try out things like Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, like, I like it for what it is. Multiverses, I like it for what it is. Brawlhalla. Brawlhalla, you know, but, like... Smash is so fucking good. It's so polished. It has so much budget.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
It has so much stuff going for it that everything just pales in comparison. But I definitely want to check out Rivals. It looks really cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I do think that like fighting game of the year this year, I do think that Tekken 8 has it unlocked, but I do think that there are contenders, right? I would put Dragon Ball Sparking Zero in there. Not above Tekken 8 because Tekken 8 is just more mechanically sound. It's a better competitive game by far, but Dragon Ball as far as like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
how much production there is to it how much fan service there is to it the art style all this stuff like it brings a lot to the table even though I think a lot of people would discredit it because it's an arena fighter it's an anime arena fighter so people wouldn't give it the same same look but then also like it's a weird one but the collection the Marvel vs. Capcom collection also like I think that's in the conversation at least for that audience
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Man, we got a lot of super chats here. You guys are into Pokemon cards.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
They're all over the place. So Keaton Armstrong writes in and says, don't sleep on Pikachu X deck or EX deck. I just went on a 10 win streak, including against Mewtwo decks. Love that. Moltres did wreck me, though. It's a strong card. The Moltres Charizard combo is a problem. I was fighting against a deck of healers. There was one card that kept healing itself, and that messed me up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I forget which card it was. It might have been Lapras or something, but it was tough. And then Shoot... Shoot, in the super chat it says, Pokemon TCG is banned in my country in Belgium because of the loot boxes. And that just sucks.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
They said they're not going to do anything big, and they lied to us. That's a big deal. That's huge. This is from Joe Otterson at Variety. A Mass Effect TV series is officially in development at Amazon MGM Studios. Variety has learned exclusively. Daniel Casey is set to write and executive produce the adaptation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Kareem Zreek will executive produce under his Cedar Tree Productions banner with Ari Arad and EA's Michael Gamble, also executive producing. Cedar Tree is currently under an overall deal at Amazon MGM Studios. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps.

It was previously reported in 2021 that Amazon was in negotiations to develop a Mass Effect TV series, but there have been no updates on the project until now. There have also been various attempts to develop a feature film based on the games, but the project never materialized. Uh, Mike, a Mass Effect TV series.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
They busted out the Mewtwo, they busted out the Gardevoir, and I'm like, they're building. If I had my fucking Arbok... And if I did my Wigglytuff deck that I usually do against you, Mike, like, maybe I would have something here. Maybe you'd have something. But then the must-up thing is like, okay, what if I do my Arbok and Wigglytuff deck and they have the Charizard X? That's the fun part.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Is there any world where they don't do the original Mass Effect trilogy story here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
it being on it being amazon here's the thing like a lot of these names i'm not as familiar with and i'm trying to drive as we go because i see some people in chat being like let's go i see some people in chat being like oh i don't like this thing i don't like that name and so it's hard for me to get into that because i'm i'm driving the ship again this broke live and so i didn't get to do any research going into this that said amazon i think has a good track record right now with the video game stuff especially when you're talking when we're talking about fallout thank
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
about fallout i think the fallout tv show has shifted tides over there right like i think that if they weren't having discussions before about how to make these video game adaptations these video game properties quality yeah that conversation has to be happening now right i think mass effect has to be big for them i think they have to be looking at mass effect as equivalent if not bigger for them than fallout yeah oh yeah of course
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Yeah, like Mass Effect is that kind of franchise, right? That you put in that breath.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I mean, I think the streets are saying no, but Roger thinks it's fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Fast and Furious 9, oh, Fast 9. F9, the Fast Saga.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
It becomes a roll of the dice. I love that. It's such a good time. I'm loving this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Yeah, and my thing is, I think, you know, you approach writing a Mass Effect way differently than you approach writing a Fast and Furious. Like, Fast and Furious, I don't think that's so many of the issues with that franchise. It has to do with, like, more inherently what it is as an action movie franchise that is, like, trying to one-up itself and, like, you know, take things to the extreme.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Whereas here, I think you want to lock it a little bit more, make something a bit more serious, and then I think so much of it has to do with the direction and the production and things around the writing. Of course, a bad script or a bad treatment is going to be bad, right? But
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
A good game is forever good. And yeah, I think so much of it is going to come down to direction and how you treat characters and all that stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
How do we do it to where we can stream at the same time and it's the race to 45? Like, it's just us doing battles at the same time, and we're just like, hey, we're racing, we're trying to see who the first is to get to 45. This is going to be a long race. I like that. It's going to take like three weeks to get there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
And I think I lean towards Shepard mainly because I think the Fallout is an excellent comparison point because I think you're doing a similar thing with an RPG that's had stories before. But Mass Effect, for what people know about Mass Effect, the stories, right, has been a Shepard thing outside of Andromeda, which is the one that people didn't like as much, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
And I think it's tough to make a story outside of that that people identify with, with a new character, new all these things, because...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I think Mass Effect currently, until maybe we get the next one, I don't know if the next one, I assume the next one's not going to be Shepard or whatever, but until we get to the next one, Mass Effect to people, I think, is Shepard when you think of what a main story is, what the through line of that is going to be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
That's where I'm at, too, because I think Mass Effect Next, or Mass Effect 5, or 4, or whatever we're calling it, is going to, I think, take a new step into the series. We're going to get new characters. We're going to get whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
It's been long enough since we've gotten a Shepard story that I think that is kind of an exciting thing for fans of, oh man, okay, while we're playing the new Mass Effect, we have this return to Shepard that is like harkening back to what I loved playing back in 2006.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I think that does, I think you're able to kind of hit from multiple sides doing that of like, as EA, right, appealing to the Mass Effect fan base. Here's something for the oldies out here, but here's something to take a step into the future.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
If we go the Shepard route, if Shepard's going to be the main character of this thing, who do we have play them? I'm going, oh, I forget her name. It's like the Christina from Penguin.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Christina Miloti.

They love me so fast in America. Look at them. Let's move on to story number two, 51 minutes into the episode. Take-Two is selling its indie games label, Private Division. This is Umar Shakir at The Verge.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Take-Two Interactive is selling off its indie games label, Private Division, which published titles such as The Outer Worlds and Olly Olly World following rumors over the last summer that Take-Two laid off most of Private Division's staff. Take-Two did not disclose the buyer of Private Division or how much they paid.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
In an emailed statement to The Verge, Take-Two spokesperson Alan Lewis wrote, quote, We recently made the strategic decision to sell our Private Division label to focus our resources on growing our core and mobile businesses for the long term. As part of this transaction, the buyer purchased our rights to substantially all of Private Division's live and unreleased titles.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I was very shocked when somebody conceded in turn number two. I was like, oh, what are we doing here? I thought we were having fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Take-Two will continue to support No Rest for the Wicked, which launched in early access on PC in April. We're grateful for the contributions that the Private Division team has made to our company and are confident that they'll continue to achieve success in their new home." Very interesting story here. There's so many questions with this one. Who bought Private Division?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
That's my number one question. Who owns them now? But then also, does this take a lot away from Take-Two not having product division anymore right like they say they're doing this to focus on like their big stuff in the mobile division this feels like such a we gotta cut costs here we gotta make the money moves and like with where we're at in the video games business like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I think this is becoming inevitable across so many big corporations. We're seeing it happen a lot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I think that's unfortunate because I think every big studio, every big publisher should have a division that is, you know, doing R and D that is making cool, unique stuff that is making smaller stuff that is figuring out what is the next step that we can take as a business experiment, be weird, be cool, like do that shit. Right. Cause I think that also just grants so much. Um, I think, um,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
personality and character to your business. You know, between the NBA 2Ks, between the GTAs, between the Borderlands. Hey, here's a Kerbal Space Program. Here's an Outer Wilds. I'm so fascinated by this decision. I'm more fascinated by, all right, who has them now then?

They're probably paying a little bit of money. But also, it doesn't really matter that much. Right? Like, I mean, I guess maybe this is me speaking as somebody who's put in probably like 20 something hours at this point. But I feel like the card, the amount of cards right now is so limited that it's not like, and it's a 20 card deck, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

So it's not like you're going to pay your way to beating everybody. It's still, I feel like 50% of these matches are still coming down to luck.

And then we gotta move on. But, like, do you think Death Stranding 2 ends up being a five years after that comes out? Yeah, I bet you it's something similar to that. Maybe a little less, but it's definitely something similar. I would suck if it was five years, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I would hope that, like, if Death Stranding 1 is coming to Xbox, or, like, if Death Stranding 1 is out for Xbox today, I would hope that, like, maybe two years for Death Stranding 2.

Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I don't think... Like, the fact that he's making an exclusive for both Xbox and PlayStation at the same damn time, like, he is going wherever the money is coming in. And he's just balling, right? ODs. That's going to be a five-year one to come to PlayStation or whatever, right? Like... And, like, hey, he's out here, again, making these deals. He's got the power.

CEO David Zaslav admits that. During the company's latest earnings call on November 7th, Zaslav said that the games business is substantially underperforming its potential.

Now Warner Brothers Games is going to put more emphasis on its most successful franchises moving forward. Quote, I think we're through some of the worst and it hasn't been pretty on the gaming business, Zaslav said during a call. Quote, we have four games that are really powerful and have a real consistency that love them. Man, that's a tough word. Consistency.

And we're going to focus on those four primarily. We're going to go away from trying to launch 10, 12, 15, 20 different games. I think we have a real chance now with Focus to have the gaming business be steadier. He added, quote, we have four strong and profitable game franchises with loyal global fans. Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, and DC.

No, because Lord of the Rings is now... Embracer in Amazon. Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones. Okay. In particular, Batman also when he talks about DC. We're focusing our development efforts on those core franchises with proven studios to improve our success ratio, end quote. And then the part B to the story, I'll just lump it in here, right?

It's mainly that multiverses has underperformed and yeah, contributed to another $100 million hit to revenue.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
And I think the $200 million was from Suicide Squad plus other failures.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
I wonder how much that cost them, because they basically had two launches. That, that must be insane for marketing costs. Cause like, it's not like the second launch was just a, all right, now it's out again. I, they had like deals with McDonald's. Like I was pulling up to the McDonald's drive through and they had multi versus kids, kids meals during the second launch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
And it's like the second launch isn't going to hit the way the first one did.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
And those first two weeks were really strong. I think that's the thing that's unfortunate about this is that they had something. You want to talk about a platform fighter and how much of a struggle it is to make and put out a platform fighter that people cared about? People cared about this one
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
for a few weeks, and then it went away just because, like, I think the allure was gone, the post-launch content wasn't bringing people in as much as I think they thought it would, and, you know, I think they tried something that hadn't been done before, especially outside of Nintendo, right? But Nintendo has the benefit of their fucking Nintendo, right? They're launching Smash Bros.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Ultimate at $60, they're doing the traditional DLC pack system, and guess what? People are gonna buy that shit because they're Nintendo. Yeah. for a non Nintendo publisher to do this and have it be free to play and try to go for a battle pass and try to go for a, a setup that just hasn't been done with this genre in this way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Like kudos on them for taking the swing because I think there are a lot of good things on multiverses. It's just the overall thing of it just didn't work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Man, I wish we had so much more time to talk about this because I think there's a conversation to be had about 2XKO and if they're able to pull it off. Because I'm not 100% if they are. I think 2XKO is going to come out. It's going to be great. We've already played it, so we know it's fucking great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
But fighting games are such a different beast as far as getting people in and creating a big audience. It's not going to be League of Legends. It's not going to be Valorant. It's not going to be Call of Duty. I don't think you can have that kind of audience for a 2XKO. We'll see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
You're putting this in the hands of the experts. And so, yes, if anybody can do it, I think Riot can do it. But I think the question is, can it be done?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
But can it do that and also be free to play and also get success by doing post-launch content, cosmetic content, and just doing a format of...

You're on the same wavelength. I was thinking the same thing this morning. That Misty card, I am flipping tails 90% of the time. They cheat me. It's so fucked up. I should at least get one heads like half the time on the first flip.

game that historically just isn't done with fighting games fighting games are you put it out $60 you put out DLC packs the fans complain but they buy it anyway and it makes they make just enough money to work on the next one like that's what fighting games are and like I love fighting games but I'm not going to sit here and act like they're like Call of Duty I'm not going to sit here and act like they're fucking big sellers outside of like a Mortal Kombat but even Mortal Kombat struggles sometimes you know so like

How did Embracer get the Lord of the Rings IP again? Can somebody remind me how this happened? They just bought it. Some crazy buyout.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
God, I fucking forget now. It's so messy. Amazon owns Lord of the Rings. I guess Embracer is just doing the video games then? I thought Embracer bought Lord of the Rings. No, I think Amazon owns Lord of the Rings. I think it's just a complicated thing. Amazon does not own Lord of the Rings, says chat. They're going back and forth. I don't even think chat knows.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Oh, okay. I mean, they don't basically own it, but I think they're almost like the arbiters then. Yeah. That's crazy. What I want to know is, like, what happened? They started losing money.

You think Warner Brothers didn't want to pay the Tolkien estate any more money to use Lord of the Rings?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Again, I'm speaking as somebody who doesn't know shit about this, because it's been long enough that I've just forgotten. That's crazy. Yeah, I think, I mean, your idea of making a Game of Thrones game that is just going to be like Shadow of Mordor, I think that is a great idea. Or like a Witcher, right? I think that's such a great idea. The problem is, what studio are you going to give it to?

Because Monolith, they're making Wonder Woman. Even the Wonder Woman. They say DC here, right? But they say, what did they say? They said DC, in particular Batman, is what they say. What about Wonder Woman, the next game you have coming out from DC? What about that one? Move past that one. We never know. Like, put some respect on Wonder Woman.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Yeah, the way they're talking about this makes me worry. It reminds me of how Embracer says that they want to exploit Lord of the Rings. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just fascinated by this. Warner Brothers is definitely one to keep an eye on for the coming years. Whoa.

Story number one is a two-for-one. I got 1A and 1B. I'm going to read through them at once. Starting with 1A, Grand Theft Auto 6 is still on track for a fall 2025 release. This is Tom Ivan at Video Games Chronicle. The Grand Theft Auto 6 release date remains on track for the fall of calendar 2025.

Quote, well, there is slippage in the industry, and we're not immune from that, Strauss-Zelnick told CNBC in an interview when asked how confident he was in hitting Grand Theft Auto 6's fall 2025 launch window. Quote, however, we narrowed the timing because we are highly confident in that timing, end quote. That's a new quote right there. Now, that is 1A, right? Very simple story.

Take-Two Interactive has indicated that it will put distance between the releases of its two big upcoming titles, Grand Theft Auto 6 and Borderlands 4, despite them both due out within the same 12-month window. Quote, I think it's safe to say that we wouldn't and no one would stack up huge releases unnecessarily. End quote. Zelnick told Variety. Yeah, who would do such a thing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Who would do such a thing? Why would we do that? That's bad business. Yeah, like, well, you would think I'll put out, like, a Battlefield and a Titanfall at the same time. Who would do such a crazy thing? Mike, does this change anything for you? Does this move the needle for you? Does this give you more confidence that we will see GTA 6 about a year from now?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's the thing where I want to believe, and this gives me a little bit more confidence in it, but there's nothing in this world that's maybe going to for sure go, oh yeah, we're going to be playing GTA 6 a year from now. It's one of those, I'll believe it when I see it. I think Rockstar tends to be pretty known for their delays, at least every now and then.

I feel like Red Dead Redemption, the last one, got delayed quite a bit. I forget if GTA V had delays to it. That could be a kindoffun.com slash you're wrong or chat if you can look that up, right? Like, did GTA V get delayed quite a bit? But I don't think Rockstar is anywhere above, like, delaying a game.

And, of course, we all know that plenty of reasons can come through to make something get delayed, right? There could be last-minute bugs. There could be, like, big shifts towards the end of the game. We're still a year out from this thing, and it's been being worked on forever, right? And, like...

Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
If we're at a point where we're getting toward that finish line and there's something wrong with it, I don't think that they would allow a GTA 6 to come out broken or with major issues or anything like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
We're going to be okay with that. Bring that up again, Roger. So September 2013 is when GTA 5 came out. It was supposed to come out four months earlier, according to this blog post, which would have been what? Like May, June?

I get on my phone like I usually do because I'm an unhealthy person, right? I'm an unhealthy person living in 2024, so I immediately go to my phone. And because it's been the last two weeks, I immediately go to Pokemon Go. Got to. Which is honestly probably better for me than going to Twitter. Love that. Because usually it's Twitter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
And which I think is very interesting because I think about GTA as a fall thing. Yeah, it's a fall mega title, yeah. And that comes back to the thing of GTA 6, if you delayed it, where would you delay it to? I feel like if you're delaying that, you're delaying that like you're giving it eight more months or you're giving it like 12 more months.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

But like them seemingly, yeah, originally being in the position to put out GTA 5 in the summer makes me go, man, what if like they delayed it and it got delayed into, I guess, May. I feel like May is the earliest in the year that you're putting out a GTA 6.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

The buggy and broken part, I'm very fascinated about. Cause I don't, I, I think you're right in terms of people will come out and buy it no matter what. You can, you can like, you can print out a blank disc and put it in a GTA, in a GTA six case. And at, It will sell at least 5 million, right? Just put GTA 6 on the box.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mass Effect TV Show Announced! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.07.24
But I do think there's something to be said about the way Rockstar intake to probably value GTA and value like the word of mouth of GTA. When we go back to GTA 5, right? Of course, that came out. It was great. Got 10s, all that stuff. It wasn't perfect because the online came out and online was broken. It took months. Online was broken for a while.

I don't like this. I don't like it at all. I'm with you. I'm also shocked that, like, have we not gotten a Last of Us controller? I guess we haven't. Probably not. But I totally would have thought that this is a thing that existed already. It feels like awkward timing, but I know it's not because the Last of Us TV show is probably the reason why they're doing this right now.

Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
It's previously been suggested that other developers and publishers are hoping GTA 6 will be priced between $80 and $100, in a move which would allow more companies to raise their software prices too. In August 2020, Take-Two's NBA 2K21 was announced as the first current-gen game to be priced at $70, and other publishers quickly followed suit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
99 cents. I'm sitting at $80 right now. Yeah. But I think I do feel confident in that it's going to be very much over $70. It's that thing where I'm like, how much can you jump the price point? from what the standard is. I feel like 60 to 70 was already such a push.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
Do you think that can become standard? Like a GTA 6? No. Because I don't think... I think GTA 6 is the only example where you can do that.

Sony also offers monthly rolling leases that allow players to cancel any time, but these are considerably more expensive, 36 pounds a month for the PS5 Pro.

I mean, honestly, yeah. I mean, I think this could be pretty popular if you take it worldwide, or at least if you take it to countries that are able to support this kind of thing. This, I think, feeds back into the previous story of $100 GTA 6 right now. Could that be the standard for other games going forward? Could that not? I think the reality of the situation that we're in right now is that

Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
our hobbies are getting more and more expensive, especially video games is a hobby. Video games are getting more and more expensive and you need to do something to offset that cost or at least give people the options, like lower cost options to get in the door. Otherwise you're going to cut people out. And like, that is what it is, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
But if you have an ability, if you have the ability to speak to people that would otherwise get cut out, why not? And I think allowing them to rent consoles or like things like cloud gaming, as we've talked about a million times, as far as how that lets you get in at a lower cost, you don't even have to buy a console if you want to play some of these Xbox games, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
I think things like that are vital for where video games are going, what video games have become, right? Like, yeah, I think this makes a lot of sense for the next five years, 10 years, however long, like gaming's in this place, maybe just the future, right? Of how much video games are going to be to buy and how much they cost to make.

It's the weird thing, though, of my brain being trained over the course of my entire life to not be into the offset sticks. So that's the one thing that troubles me.

We have five stories today. Don't be good to them! starting with our number one. The next big Marvel game is coming this Christmas, according to the game's star. This is Jordan Middler at Video Games Chronicle. Marvel 1943 Rise of Hydra could be released this Christmas, according to one of the game's voice actors.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
The next big game from Marvel Games and Amy Hennig's Skydance Games will tell the story of a young Steve Rogers as he finds his feet as Captain America. Marvel 1943 Rise of Hydra was revealed during an Unreal Engine showcase at GDC in March. That's actually a lie. It was revealed during D23, the Disney and Marvel Games showcase that I hosted. Stop the erasure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
video games chronicle we got what the fuck yeah what the fuck jordan middler large man uh no the but we did get the current trailer that kevin's showing off right now we got during gdc last year that was showing awfully unreal footage um and it stars drew morland uh as captain america and carrie payton as black panther hell yeah last year it was announced that the game will be published by plot
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
Play on. It's pronounced how it's spelled. Play on. Which I always want to say ply on. Of course. P-L-A-I-O-N. While the game doesn't currently have a release date, it may be coming this year, according to the actor behind one of the game's stars. When asked about the release date of the game, Black Panther actor Kerry Payton said, quote, we're still working. We're planning on 2025, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
Quote, we're thinking like a Christmas situation, but I'm so excited, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
Can I tell you that I watched this trailer before the show just as a rewatch because I remembered how cool it was when we got it last year. Got to the end of this trailer and I was jump scared by a 2025 release window. I forgot they said 2025. Crazy. Yeah. Why don't you believe?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
I want to dig into the haterism. Because my thing is, I think for the drip feed of info we've gotten for this game, I'm trying to figure out what separates it from other games, right? Because you got that D23 trailer. That was 2022, I want to say? We got the GDC trailer that was last year, 2024. They said 2025. I feel like if we're expecting gameplay, it's going to be by Summer Game Fest.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
But they did tell us what it's going to be, right? From everything that Amy Hennig has said, it sounds like it's going to be Uncharted-like. Yeah. I'm with you, though, that I do want to see gameplay. It is tough to visualize what this game is going to be moment to moment without actually seeing. Because it looks incredible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
No, he says we're planning on 2025. Yep, yep.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
He says we are still working. We. We. We are still working. Yeah. He's in the recording. Like, he stepped out of the voice actor booth and then stepped right behind a computer and was like, all right, guys, open up Unreal Engine 5. We're going to put a tree over here. We're putting a road over here. Black Panther's going to climb up this hill. It's going to be great. Some games are made.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
Yeah, I mean... I don't think I'm as, I guess, negative on the idea of this game coming out by the end of this year as you are. Obviously, anything can get delayed. Games get delayed all the time. And so, honestly, I'm probably on the idea of a 70% chance of this game coming out in 2026 as opposed to 2025. My thing, though, is that I do think this game's coming out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
In the case of Marvel 1943, do you think it's a marketing issue? Do you think that maybe somewhere along the line they made a misstep of not showing gameplay to us already?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
And then there was the whole cinematic trailer that we got. It's like a three-minute long thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
Here's where I'm with you. It's the thing of, for me, I think I have to believe until they misstep or until they actually delay it. I have no reason to actually doubt them. But that said, yeah, I look at the factors involved of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
all right skydance we haven't seen this kind of project from skydance yet right like i think marvel 1943 is the first big one and so that's exciting as like that you know coming out and like making that big splash sort of game from you but that's always tough with developers that you've not seen as much from obviously amy hennig we've seen stuff from her in the past but even then when was the last time we've seen something from amy hennig it's been generations yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
It's been generations. And so I think there's that factor to it. PlayOn as well. I don't look at PlayOn as a publisher where I'm like, can't wait for the next PlayOn game, right? No, I look at all the pieces involved and I look at the trailer and that's where I get on your side of... This feels and looks too good to be true. That's the sentence, man. Too good to be true. That's where I'm at.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
And I think where I end up landing on that is not necessarily that we're never going to see this game, but more so, we're going to finally see gameplay, and we're going to be very let down.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
We're looking at the cutscenes, we're like, oh man, these cutscenes are great, but what does that moment-to-moment gameplay look like and feel like, and what are those previews going to look like when people actually get their hands on the game? That's the thing I'm way more curious about, because I can see that part of it being a letdown. Um...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
based on all these factors involved, as opposed to like, oh yeah, this game just disappears into the ether, which it could, which it very much could. Yeah. Let's move on to story number two. This is a fun one. There's a new Last of Us DualSense controller announced. Cool. Cool. Fun one. Story number two. This is slow news. Hey, Matt. We watch Powerpuff Girls. We watch Powerpuff Girls.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
The first one came out in November.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Yeah. So I associate it with fall because that's my thing is I am thinking about this with a bias of Death Stranding 1 came out in November that year. Ghost of Tsushima came out in July of that year. So my brain is telling me that that's how that's going to fall even though I know that's not how it works. I could see it being flipped. Um...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
That's the thing is both of those games strike me as games that you could drop either time and it's fine. Death Stranding you can drop whenever during the year and it's fine. Ghost of the Yotei I think you can drop whenever during the year and it's fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I think if it was a... If Yotei was coming out in March, then maybe. Maybe it's like, oh, we should separate these a little bit. But for the fact that it seems like we're not going to get that for...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
at least at least summer or after summer i don't yeah i don't think they mind that i don't think i ghost of yotei i think is going to outshine assassin's creed shadows by like probably a large margin um so i don't think you worry about that but yeah i think i've been talking about the state of play next week seemingly right allegedly rumored reportedly um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I guess I could see a Death Stranding 2 thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
um and then i guess the question is what else right because i i then come down to third party stuff me and tim did the thing of opening up what the rest of the like the um first half of the year looks like and we kind of know right like i expect things like the first berserker kazan to have just another trailer there it's tough to think of what are the unknown factors that we have that like we that we need answers for yeah i don't think you get anything else first party um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
so like maybe you want to associate that a little bit closer but yeah I could see some type of remake coming out there I mean I got open I'm on releases.com because that's my new thing I'm on releases.com a lot just looking at the game releases seeing what's happening seeing what the streets are up to sometimes I get bored at my desk and I'm like what game is coming out and when I scroll I like to scroll to the end of the quarters because then they just fucking back everything up there of like things that are announced and but don't have dates right now for like this quarter that we're in
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
you have vampire the masquerade bloodlines 2 that i guess you could talk about you have judas which there's no way that's coming out in the next three months but who knows right like if judas if that might come out this year i could see maybe like some kind of trailer for it that's a weird one that's such a weird one man and then what i'm looking at the alters dune awakening which i don't know i forget if that's even all coming to playstation no that's a pc thing so forget that um i have a question what's up do you think we see xbox any xbox games
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Right now, at least. I think Xbox has to solidify even more as a third party for PlayStation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
like or maybe this is the moment like this is the moment where they're like hey like we're just we don't give a shit anymore like fully like we're just gonna give you a third party you know version of you know halo here it is i think xbox is already there but i think playstation needs to get there i don't think playstation wants to show off a halo thing at a state of play and that's just me how i read playstation right i think they still see xbox as enough of a competitor if this was a nintendo direct i could see nintendo being like oh yeah put halo in our thing we don't give a fuck but
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Because our audience is going to love this shit. But I think PlayStation, somebody in chat said PlayStation still believes in console wars, and I'm with that. I think PlayStation is still like, nah, man, we got a red line. Obviously, we'll have your games on our platform because that does benefit us, but we're not going to promote your Xbox game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
We're not going to have that in a first-party thing. In fact, I don't even know if the Xbox team has the wherewithal to go to PlayStation and be like, hey, put this in your showcase. I just don't think they have that kind of relationship yet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
No, I feel that. Indiana Jones is the one that I could see showing up at a State of Play. And that is because, like, Indiana Jones, obviously, Xbox, Bethesda. But you are right about, like, there's Xbox and then there's Bethesda, which is technically Xbox, but Bethesda has been third-party before, and so...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Like you've had games like Deathloop show up on PlayStation and like, you know, have that exclusive partnership with PlayStation at first. Like there's a relationship there that kind of exists outside of Xbox. And so they might view that and be like, ah, you know, it's also IP. And so Indiana Jones, we already, everybody already knows is coming to PlayStation. I could see something like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
It's where you get to like Halo and Gears and Forza where I'm like, no, that was hard to see. Starfield, maybe.

right all i will say is that soon on a kind of funny stream i will start a long-awaited playthrough that's all i'll say i will start a long-awaited playthrough maybe this week maybe this week maybe next week definitely not this week actually but maybe next week yeah okay well there's a pre-recorded games cast that we do say i'm talking about it a little
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
This is the way that our game actually should have looked. Absolutely not. Some more things I'm looking at on the calendar, right, of things I think we could get more info about. Mafia of the Old Country. I don't think it ever hurts to just throw that in any showcase. Do anything with that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
but in a showcase like people remind people um rematch obviously that was announced during the game awards right that's a cool one i feel like that's a state of play in my mind yeah that's a cool one if you remember sifu when that came so rematch for those who might have forgotten already is the uh soccer game coming from the sifu devs that was revealed during the game awards that's one that we know is coming this year um and going back to sifu sifu i believe came out as a console exclusive on playstation i believe that was like a correct me if i'm wrong is was that playstation plus extra um correct me if i'm wrong about that but it's exclusive i don't remember that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Check, correct me if I'm wrong about it. I'm pretty sure it was a console exclusive. So I think they already have that relationship with PlayStation. And so I think it could make sense to put FIFU in that thing. Dying Light the Beast. Remember that? It's a new Dying Light game. They announced it. They announced it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Some people say it was a timed exclusive for PlayStation, talking about Sifu. Oh, somebody says, where's Baby Steps? That's another good one. Here's the thing. Dying Like the Beast, I believe, was a Gamescom opening night live announcement. And the thing about Gamescom opening night live is that every year it feels like a fever dream.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
It feels like a ghastly happen to where I'm like, what the fuck? Was Dying Like the Beast trailer real? Yeah. Or did we all just hallucinate that together?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Is that an actual game coming out? So yeah, I don't know. I'm excited for a State of Play, but I'm not over the moon of what my expectations are for it. I think it's going to be a chill time, but I'm not looking at the State of Play expecting to get the answers to, oh, Ghost of the Yotei is going to come out exactly this day, and Death Stranding 2 is also going to...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I'm not looking for all the answers. I think we'll get a few answers, but I don't think we're going to get that many.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Oh, my hype level was high, although August, way later than I thought it was going to be. Yeah. Like, that was a game that I thought would have been out already based on, like, when they announced it. And, like, obviously things get delayed or internally delayed. We don't know how that stuff works. But it coming out in August, I was like, oh, I was hoping to play that by May, by April.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Obviously, like, I'm down to wait because I am super looking forward to Metal Gear Solid Delta. But, yeah, like, that was one where I was like, ah, damn. That said, yeah, like, the different camera perspectives are cool. It's still... It's one that, as much as I'm looking forward to it, I just need to get my hands on the controller and experience it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Because Metal Gear Solid 3 means so much to me and so many people. That's one of my favorite games of all time. That might be my favorite video game story of all time. I absolutely love MGS3. And so far, what I've seen of MGS Delta... It looks good. The fidelity of it looks impressive. I like looking at it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
But there's also a personality and aura and energy that Metal Gear Solid 3 has that I don't know if I've seen yet in the trailers. And I don't even know if you can convey that in the trailers. I want them to just upload a fucking 10-minute codec call. And let me just watch what a codec call feels. Let me just see a full cut scene. Let me see a full codec call.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Yeah, I might play a game. I did start for like the 18th time Outer Wilds last month in preparation for the top 100 games. Like always, fell off. I kind of want to get back to it just to push myself to it. Just to say it. Kind of. I don't really want to get back to it, but I want to force myself to get back to it because I know... Once I beat the game, Roger, I'll understand it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Like, let me see the nerd, like the weird shit of MGS3 and experience, like just see what you have as far as that. And I think that'll be the thing that pushes me over the edge and convinces me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I think it'll be fine because MGS3 I think still plays well. I know it's an old game, but Barret played it for the first time during our Metal Gear Solid streams and he absolutely loved it. It's a game that I think is so... Metal Gear Solid in general is so unique in terms of how it plays and feels that... Certain things age, yes, but you are playing something that is also one of one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
And so you're playing Metal Gear Solid 3, and it controls Metal Gear Solid 3. It doesn't really control many other games. So I think it's going to be fine with that. And I think they're doing it the right way where, yeah, make it one for one. Because if you alter anything, people will judge it harshly because Kojima's not involved with this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
And so if you change a narrative beat, if you change a line, if you change a face, if you change anything... Fans are going to be looking at this thing with a microscope being like, why'd you do this? This ain't art. This ain't my art.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Yeah, so I think you do want to have it be that one-for-one kind of experience.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I'm looking forward to you trying it out. I think you're going to like it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I'm not playing one. Fuck that. I'll play one. What? Yeah, one's good. That's old. I mean, it is old, but it's good. Should I play Twin Snakes?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
no fuck play one I would say yeah play one and two but you also don't have I here's my my hot take and I don't even think it's a hot take my first Metal Gear Solid game that I played was Metal Gear Solid 3 and also by the way I played Peace Walker I forgot about that but I forgot everything about it
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
then you'll be extra fine yeah okay because that's the same character but yeah Metal Gear Solid 3 as a jumping in point to the franchise is actually pretty solid because it's a prequel and it feels standalone enough obviously there's references and stuff but you're gonna be fine jumping in and you're jumping in into one of the best ones you could if you had the time and if you wanted to yeah play MGS1 and 2 why not can I start with 2 no
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
No, don't you fucking... If you start with two, I'm hunting you down. Don't fucking start with two.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Whatever you do, you can start with three or start with one. Do not start with two, Roger. I swear to God. I like Raiden. I mean, I like Raiden. Play Revengeance then. Play Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.

Next super chat comes from Volk Dasher. It writes in and says, I think we get three first-party games from PlayStation along with a few second-party and third-party exclusives. One of Death Stranding or Yotai comes in May for sure. God, I would love that. I could not... I don't see... I don't see Yote, Ghost of Yote, coming in in May or earlier.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Death Stranding 2, you could put anywhere in the year, and I'll believe it. Think about tomorrow. Yeah, honestly. You could be like, Death Stranding 2 is out next month, and I'll be like, damn, all right, cool. Nah, shit. Yeah, that's crazy, but that makes sense, I guess. Crazy with it, bro.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
um pretty dude writes in oh god it just fucking jumped uh pretty dude writes in and says should sony still do third-party deals slash exclusives just seems like wasting money when they are the defect when they are the de facto high-end console for the foreseeable future
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Yeah, I think you got to, right? You want to maintain what you have. I think if you all of a sudden just stop putting out a high output of games that people associate with your platform or games that are exclusive to your platform, you start to lose that ground. And I think your fan base notices and starts to ask, why did I buy a PlayStation 5?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Why should I buy a PlayStation 6 if I look back and you actually didn't have
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
the stellar blades of the world and like the games that came out and were exclusive for a time you look back at last year and guess what uh if stellar blade didn't come out if rise of the ronin didn't come out if final fantasy 7 rebirth wasn't exclusive and if black myth wukong wasn't exclusive shit what i mean last year would have been astrobot concord and astrobot and horizon the lego game
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
And the janky Until Dawn game. Last year would have sucked if you didn't make those. Still kind of sucks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
And I guess you did have Held Iris 2, but remember, Held Iris 2 was a third-party developer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
But second-party doesn't exist anymore. It was a first-party game, but developed by a third-party developer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I digress, but you can even include Held Iris 2 in that, but that's still, when you're talking about the bangers of last year, that would then be
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
hell divers 2 and astrobot like yeah you need things to fill that in because you might have an atul don or a concord that don't hit guess what even though even though those happened we still have final fantasy we still have uh stellar blade right we still have those third-party deals to help maintain the platform and i think that helps you as we get into an era where games are taking longer to make games are not coming out as frequently hey you
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
what developer can we turn to to either work with our IP or have their IP come out as something exclusive and special? Oh man, we might be missing out on having some kind of exclusive
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
a tough action game right cool stellar blade you are filling in the from software thing for us right hey like i don't know i'm trying to think of other genres but like those are the ways to fill those gaps that you might have that your own developers might not be able to right like if you're playstation and you have say you want to fill in that first person shooter gap hey none of our first party developers are working on a first person shooter right now guess what you do you partner with people to go to go hey make this exclusively for our platform now
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Does it always hit? No. No. Oftentimes it doesn't hit, but I still think it's worth trying out and doing and experimenting with because when it does hit, guess what? You have those moments, right? You have those moments like Stellar Blade. You have moments like LW2 and stuff like that. You also forgot one big thing. What's that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
At some point, we've got to sit down and have a conversation about the things that happen every generation that just don't change. Because there's always the little devil inside. I feel like there's always the Capcom game that gets announced. Like a new IP Capcom game that looks weird and interesting that gets announced and then never comes out. I'm talking about Deep Down and Pragmata.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
yep this has happened two generations in a row now yeah of like where what the fuck is this game where the fuck is this game yeah and it's always i was deep down i think deep down might have also been in a playstation reveal thing yeah it was the playstation 4 reveal which is the exact same as pragmata yeah what's going on with capcom and these like playstation things incredible stuff at the beginning there's always hyper specific things like that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Let's move on to story number two. Final Fantasy XVI's Xbox release announcement is imminent. It is claimed. This is Sam Sepiel at Insider Gaming. And Insider has claimed that Final Fantasy XVI's Xbox release announcement will arrive soon. The game's release seemingly is planned for the first half of 2025.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Spotted by IdleSlothVGT on X, NateTheHate recently spoke about Final Fantasy XVI's release plans for Xbox on Reset Era. According to Nate, the announcement should come shortly, but not in the near future if the developers aren't implementing any late changes. Also, Final Fantasy XVI is scheduled to release for Xbox in the first half of 2025, quote, spring basically, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Slept. Played about 30 minutes and went to sleep. And now I know why it's called Citizen Sleeper 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Nate also spoke about Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth's release plans on Xbox. The first installment from Square Enix's Remake project is scheduled to arrive for Xbox later this year, and Rebirth is planned for 2026. Nate is unsure about the time, but speculates that Final Fantasy VII Remake, Rebirth, and XVI for Xbox will be announced at the same time for maximum impact.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
NateTheHate also mentioned Final Fantasy's plans for Nintendo's highly anticipated console, the Switch 2. It seems that the developers have decided to prioritize Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth for the Switch 2 over Final Fantasy XVI. Regardless, it is exciting to see Final Fantasy embrace a multi-platform future for the franchise. It's exciting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Are you excited for the max impact of all these Final Fantasies?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Sorry, 16 fans. I'm curious on how they do it. Because the vibe I get from Nate is that, like, it seems like him saying that they're coming to other platforms is, like, him using his insider knowledge. But, like, the maximum impact thing seems like more, like, speculation from him of how they would do it. And I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Depending on the timing, because I know he says first half of 2025, things always change and shift. And also, technically, June is first half, if I'm going by my thing, right? I think you get to the Xbox showcase and out now situation. And it might be not all of them. Maybe...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I think you've got to give 16 this moment. Obviously, 16 is a popular game. 16 is a fucking great game and all that stuff. But I think when you're looking at how strong Final Fantasy 7 is and has been throughout decades at this point, you don't want 16 to get overshined by the 7 hype. So to go 16 is out right now on Game Pass, that's going to be fire. That'd be awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
That's going to be like a hot drop right there. And then you get to go. Also, 7 Remake out this fall. You can even say 7 Rebirth is out 2026. Yeah. And make it work that way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I think it failed to make their expectations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
See, my thing is... If it's a showcase thing, right? If I'm predicting it as a showcase thing, then I think it has to be on Game Pass. I don't think Xbox, at this point, they're showcases. And I'm probably wrong about this if you guys go back and do the research. And Shai, you can correct me in real time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I think we're at the point with Xbox showcases where if it's showing up at an E3-ish Summer Game Pass showcase for Xbox, it's going to be Game Pass. You've got to, I think, double down on that messaging.

I'm going to read the article as you figure this out. Capcom announced the shutdown in a blog post despite also saying the game had exceeded expectation, saying it has served its celebratory purpose admirably, but is no longer needed as it has reached a new turning point for the series. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25

Story number four is a bunch of layoff news. There's a lot of layoff news today. I've bundled it all into one story. We're going to go through it all. A lot of sad stuff happening here. Iron Galaxy, let's start off with that. They've laid off 66 developers in a last resort life-saving effort. I'm pulling from Justin Carter at GameDeveloper.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Developer Iron Galaxy has eliminated 66 positions across its development and support teams. The studio, which created Rumbleverse and helped develop the recent Last of Us remasters, explained it's made sacrifices over the years to protect its teams from the layoff waves. But after this past winter, it's run out of room to weather the current industry tumult.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Quote, this was a means of a last resort for us, it wrote. It's a measure we do not take lightly to enable our long-term survival, end quote. In a statement, Iron Galaxy affirmed its commitment to working with its development partners and hopes to continue exploring new ways to support an industry we love and keep working towards its ongoing recovery. Obviously, sad news.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Our hearts go out to the developers over there at Iron Galaxy that lost their jobs. And the ones that are still even remaining, right? And having to figure out where to go from here.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Next one is Bandai Namco Studio staff silently reduced by over 100 people. I am pulling from Amber V at Automaton. The number of staff at Bandai Namco Studios, the developer of Tekken 8, Scarlet Nexus, and Blue Protocol has decreased by 117 between April 2024 and February 2025.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
This is according to the online database of Japan's pension service, which contains information on the number of people each business establishment has enrolled under their employee social insurance. In other words, the number of insured employees. Beidai Namco Studios Company Overview states that as of April 1st, 2024, the developer counted 1,294 employees.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
On the other hand, the Japan Pension Service database, which was last updated on February 4th, 2025, indicates that the number of employees is now down to 1,177. In October last year, Bloomberg reported that Bandai Namco Holdings allegedly placed 200 employees of Bandai Namco Studios in so-called expulsion rooms. Insiders alleged that this was done to coerce staff into resigning voluntarily.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
This action was reportedly a result of the discontinuation of several games run by the company, as well as the cancellation of ongoing development projects, including one for Nintendo. Again, this kind of piggybacks off of what we were just talking about as far as the landscape of video games right now, the landscape of the business right now. Lots of projects being canceled.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Like, they talk here about the Nintendo one. But also, I believe Blue Protocol was also an Amazon project that I believe was also canceled. I'm doing a lot of correct me if I'm wrong today, but... Correct me if I'm wrong about that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I was like, holy shit. But no, I went to that and I played against some local people. And then with that, that was like 40 bucks. And then I'm going to one tomorrow for Aether Drift, which will be another 40 bucks. So I think that's $80 so far. It's not bad. I'm trying to think if I've spent on any other thing. I don't think I have. So I have $80 overall so far with Magic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
It is kind of death by a thousand cuts sort of thing. And like, obviously, being that name code is not dead here. They're still going strong. But it does suck to be in this place of, Bandai Namco is one of the publishers I look at as, oh, man, you guys are killing it. Yeah, you have Night Rain coming up, too. You have Night Rain coming up. I mean, you published Elden Ring before.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
company that i usually associate with its successes but then yeah you talk about unknown nine honestly i forgot that was even a thing everyone did yeah i was like for a second i was like there's no way unknown nine was published by bandai and here we are right and like you talk about the cancellations of projects you had with other partners things like blue protocol like damn like like that sucks to see and it sucks to see that just a

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
2K Games has fired 31st Union President Michael Condry after the studio's long-awaited online multiplayer game Project Ethos was revealed last fall to little fanfare or apparent player interest, according to two sources familiar with the studio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
The project's fate is now unclear, although 2K, which is publishing Borderlands 4 and Mafia The Old Country later this year, says it remains very committed to both Project Ethos and the studio behind it. Roger, of course, you know Project Ethos.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25

See, that was the conversation me and Tim had yesterday. There's a maker. In my mind, I was like, let's talk about the Mario franchise. I want to talk about what we want out of Mario Kart, Mario Party, 2D Mario. But Tim is like, no, I think we have enough for just a 3D Mario for a whole episode. And then we can talk about the other stuff in other episodes.

Let me tell you, Roger. Are you like me where you get FOMO with MCU in review?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I feel that. Would you believe that I've never actually seen a Fantastic Four movie?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I mean, probably, I mean, in 2025, I don't know if it is, but, like, I think all my life I always heard that the Fantastic movies were not good. Yeah. And so I just always avoided them. But now that the new trailer is out, I've seen on Twitter people, like, posting clips from the Jessica Alba and Chris Evans one. Yeah. And I'm like, this looks fun. This looks kind of fun. It's a fun campy time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
It's a fun campy time. Yeah. And so, but yeah, I get FOMO to the point where I think I'm going to make my own MCU ranking.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
World peace. I'm not saying everybody's going to agree on it. All I'm going to say is that you're going to look at it and be like, this seems better. I'm going to make one that's better than all of them. Better than the MCU one. Because I've heard their disrespect towards Black Panther, and I can't take it anymore. One or two.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
It's time for some news. We have six stories today. Baker's does it. Starting with our number one. Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater release date leaks via PSN. This is Jordan Midler at Video Games Chronicle. A trailer for Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater has gone live early, revealing the game's release date.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Of course, if you're not familiar with the Rodgers slap story, you got to listen to the kind of funny podcast that went up earlier this week. Short story is, you got slapped on a plane.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
The trailer, which is currently visible on the PlayStation Store page for the remake, shows that the game will be released on August 28th. According to the page, the game will be PS5 Pro enhanced. The trailer also confirms that the Snake vs. Monkey mode from the original game will make a return in the remake. Now what's that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Yeah, so, like, in Metal Gear Solid 3, in the original game, they had, like, an Ape Escape. Well, it was, like, a bonus mode of the game where, as Snake, you're going around, like, I think the opening area of the game, and you're hunting down the Ape Escape monkeys.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
You're probably right about that. The interesting thing is I saw the screen cap. I didn't watch the trailer. I don't even know if it's still on PSN. I think GameSpot just uploaded it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
Yeah, Kevin's on the PSN page right now. It says, yeah, 2025. Yeah, can you scroll? Yeah, it's gone. I wonder if maybe if you log in on PlayStation, like on an actual PlayStation, go to the store.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I imagine they must have taken it down by now. But I did see a screen cap of the end screen, and obviously because it's PSN, right? They just had PlayStation. They didn't have any other platform. So this is a PlayStation-specific trailer, which makes you think,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
That's awesome. um yeah like i think they got their thursdays mixed up lotus says yeah because state of place next thursday see i the way i took it oh yeah they must have gotten their thursdays mixed up because my assumption is that like you know when we're uploading to youtube you got the button of like publish now or schedule
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
in my head I'm like oh they accidentally hit the publish now button oh no there goes your trailer it's up on the store and so yeah I guess that makes sense that maybe they did it on Thursday really by accident yeah of course it's for a state of play I think To your thing of, what does that mean for the state of play? Like, what are our expectations?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I always go in with expectations low for a state of play. That's not a May state of play. May or June. I feel like if you're getting it during that Summer Game Fest season, usually it's going to be a bit more exciting than, like, outside of that. Like, a September or February state of play. For a February, yeah. Like, a Metal Gear Solid Delta release date makes sense. I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
with ghost of yote already being announced yeah here we go yeah kevin's brought up the the key art or like the end screen for the trailer showing off the date and yeah the playstation thing um wait it just says 2025 uh august 28th out just out it's like they're like we're tired we all asked it's out it's out um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
I mean, Ghost of Yotei I think is an interesting question because I think that then depends on when is that game coming out. If that game is a summer game, then I think you could get...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaks - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.06.25
more Ghost of the Yotei stuff here because you have to keep you have to start talking about it I think sooner than later I'm starting to be of the mind that that game is coming out in the fall I don't know why after talking with Tim about it earlier just like it's the one big thing for PlayStation this year it feels like the one I mean that and Death Stranding 2 but I think both of those like you can put one out in September or August you can put the other out in October November I mean Kojima's editing so you might get that too you might get the Death Stranding 2 trailer do you have an expectation on which might come first

Where some guy's got to go in with tongs to get them, or I'm eating Clausen, and I'm probably only eating Clausens.

All of The Nintendo Switch 2 Launch News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.05.25
I'm going to move my hand over here. Frankly, boys, it's a little bit insulting. Yeah. That on a day this big, you would make this story number one. All right. Sure. It's Switch 2 launch day. But as you might remember, Timothy. Yeah. Me and this championship are on. We're intertwined with the Switch 2. All right. Run. What happened? When they announced the Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
All of The Nintendo Switch 2 Launch News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.05.25
I said I would cash in stars in the bank and you ran away like a coward. Yeah, that's true. That was a bullshit move on your part, alright. So what I did is try to make it right, Tim. I told everyone near and far that I would confirm the parade details. Yes. that I would confirm the parade details. That's right, San Francisco. We're bringing the kind of funny championship parade to you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
All of The Nintendo Switch 2 Launch News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.05.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
All of The Nintendo Switch 2 Launch News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.05.25
Oh, that's a shame. Well, you see, what's funny about the Greg Miller Championship Parade is that it's going to be down on the Embarcadero. No. As part of Pokemon Go Fest. See, Tim. No. See, Tim, I know how much you love Pokemon Go, and you love walking the Embarcadero with your little friend, Andy Goldfarb. Well, I thought I would bring the parade to you so you don't have to choose.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
All of The Nintendo Switch 2 Launch News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.05.25
You don't have to choose what you do. You can come be part of the parade with hundreds, if not thousands, of kind of funny best friends in my team blue shirt as we walk the Embarcadero. Yeah. We didn't get it. This isn't like a legal parade. We're not taking over the street. We'll walk on the sidewalks and be respectful. We'll play Pokemon Go with you so you can have fun. You will lift me up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
All of The Nintendo Switch 2 Launch News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.05.25
You will carry me. We will walk the Embarcadero and end outside of SPG. That's Square Pie, guys, on their little grassy area. Oh, my God. Can we get Hunter Pence to come give a speech? Can we get the mayor to come give a speech? Oh, man. I have a call with Neon today to see if they'll give me a special Pokemon Go thing.

Saturday, June 28th, Greg Miller Championship Parade, probably around 11 a.m. We'll figure out the details and where we're meeting. But right now, just buy the shirt. All right. I earned it.

Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
There's so much value in hearing voices that aren't necessarily just streamers or YouTubers or even podcasters, right? Like, I think... The type of content, the type of work that you get out of journalists, that you get out of people that are really thoughtful in the way that they think about the industry and thoughtful in the ways that they need to be because there is a –
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
there's the journalistic integrity there, right? Like, there's the, like, almost the responsibility there that is beyond, I'm going to make a thing that is very entertaining. It is, I'm going to make a thing, express a thing that, you know, is valuable for, like, how we talk and think about video games, how we talk and think about this medium, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Like, there's so much value there, and y'all, like, if y'all appreciate that shit, like, you need to go out and support it, right? And I don't know where that stuff goes from here. I think a lot of it ends up independent, but I think
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Not that I worry about the independency of it, but I think that stuff needs to be funded in some way that we're not going to see it come and go once all the independent sites go away or whatever it is. There needs to be actual funding behind it. And that's the thing that I want to see and the thing that I worry about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
You don't know what's going on. And yeah, I think what Jan had going, what Grubb had going, what Minati had going, what Dan had going there, I think is very special. And like, I want to see that continue. And I think there's a future there, even if it's not called Giant Bomb. Even if they like start something new and they call it something else.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Like, I think that there's something there that could be special that is going to continue that legacy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
at this point gone yeah gone yeah and this thing is like it's somebody who knows those names right like I like I I think Chris Plant is is he's like I think he's on the besties I know Andy listens to the besties more than me but I'm pretty sure Chris Plant does the besties with like Griffin McElroy and then yeah thank you um and like I think I I could I could see Chris Plant doing a number of things right like and I know Nicole Carpenter and Michael McWhorter like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
The names that we see that, like, everybody listening might not be familiar with, but, like, they're talented people that I could see, even in this shrinking industry, maybe find spots doing stuff at IGN, maybe find spots elsewhere. But, again, like, even if you're that level. For how long? Yeah, for how long?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Like, you know, when does IGN get to a point where it's like, all right, we're cutting all this off, right? We're guides only. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Yeah, that last part is what was in the Tim Sweeney tweet. He tweeted out, we will return Fortnite to the US iOS app store next week. Epic puts forth a peace proposal. If Apple extends the courts friction free Apple tax free framework worldwide, we'll return Fortnite to the app store worldwide and drop current and feature litigation on this topic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
It seemed a bit much. Yeah. And I still stand by... Tim Sweeney shit seems a bit much. Like, he retweeted again the 1984 quote 20 hours ago on Twitter. Like, kind of in victory of the stuff. And, like, man, Tim Sweeney... Have you ever thought of the scenario of like, you have, imagine you're in high school, right? And there's this kid who's kind of a bully, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
And he like fucking whoops your ass for two years straight. And then like on a random day in February comes to you and he's like, hey, let's bury the hatchet. All right, we're cool. We're cool now, right? We're cool. That's Tim Sweeney right now. Where Tim Sweeney's fucking like for years has been calling out Apple, has been talking about how their policies are unfair and anti all this stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
And like, and finally the court ruled in their favor and Tim Sweeney's over here tweeting like, all right, cool. Like, so we're cool, right? Like Fortnite's coming back to your store. Like, let's be chill.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
I think that's the big thing. I remember talking about this when this all was first starting and it felt like a win for Epic would be probably the good outcome for this because that means a win for more of the software developers and game developers who do want to make more money through the ongoing transactions or microtransactions that you want to have outside the app.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
That was one of the big things that Fortnite or Epic really wanted to have. Make that Fortnite money in ways where you didn't have to go directly through the app store and have to give that cut to Apple in order to make it. Epic getting this win hopefully means that, like, a lot of companies that are smaller than Epic as well are going to have the luxury of that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2

Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
bad things about the state of games media for a very long time this is i think the moment where it does officially feel over you know like i think we say that a lot of like oh man it's over oh man it's so done uh today feels like a day where it's so done of course like the giant bomb thing is also going on as we speak where uh i mean it's been ongoing for the last week of what the fuck is happening over that giant bomb of course i was in in tokyo hanging out with dan reichert for a week and so i've been going back and forth with even him talking about like yo what is happening and he's been filling me in and of course that's like

Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Think of games media. The first website that comes to mind is IGN, but then like, Games content, games media, games podcasts, and all that stuff. Beyond an IGN, it was specifically Giant Bomb and GameSpot. Or not GameSpot, sorry. Well, it was GameSpot. Well, like, Giant Bomb and Polygon, I should say.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Giant Bomb, of course, with the Giant Bomb cast, with the Giant Beast cast, with the excellent cast crew they had over there, from Jeff Gerstmann to Dan Riker to Abby Russell to Austin Walker to Jeff Bacalar to Jan Ochoa. Patrick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Patrick Klepek, Ben Pack. I can name the entirety of the podcast crew at Giant Bomb because I came up a gigantic Giant Bomb fan. As much as I listen to Kind of Funny, I listen to just as much Giant Bomb coming up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Polygon, I'll say the same thing as far as how much I listen to Polygon podcasts and how formative that stuff was as far as their humor, as far as their creativity, as far as the quality of content that they would bring to the table. And the thing that breaks my heart is as I go through these names...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
on the Polygon side, you talk about Chris Plant, who was the EIC, the co-founder and EIC of Polygon. You talk about Michael McWherter, which is a name that I've read a million times on Kind of Funny Games Daily, right? Like, as I go through these names, I'm like, these are just a handful. Nicole Carpenter as well, right? Like, these are just a handful of names.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
There are other people posting online talking about them being out of the job, right? I saw a post from Callie Plagey just earlier as well talking about it. Like, this is so...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
fucking heartbreaking um and there are a million a million things to say about this right like we can talk about support independent media support of course support these people wherever they go whether they start their own thing whether they want to go in uh on a solo venture you know pair up with each other and do like a group ventures but i think the even more heartbreaking thing beyond this is that there are the names that we know that we're like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
I look at a Dan Riker and a Janet Choa and like a Mike Minotti and like those names that we know and go, all right, they're hopefully they start something together. And I have full belief in whatever they end up doing. That's not the case for everybody.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
The unfortunate thing is that to be as renowned as those names that I just said, it's such a blessing and a rare thing in this side of the industry. Most people don't have that luxury. And that is the truly heartbreaking thing about this is the fact that like, Once a lot of these sites are gone, that stuff is just gone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
A lot of those folks aren't going to be able to continue making that content elsewhere necessarily, at least on the same level with the same consistency, with the same luxury of having it be a job for them. You're going to get less video games media content because of this. And I'm blabbering, but it fucking breaks my heart.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
And these are very different stories, but I think the thing they have in common is terrible parent organizations. Like, you look at Giant Bomb, right? And like, one of the, so they had 888 episodes of the Giant Bomb cast. And like, keep in mind, that's a weekly podcast. Think about the longevity there. As far as 888 episodes, you've been going for that long as a company.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
But in one of the recent episodes, they made a whole bit about brand safety and kind of made fun of the fact that seemingly their parent organization tried to make a shift as far as trying to have more brand-safe content, make their content PG-13 in order to appease polymarketing ads, all that stuff, right? And that is such a misread on what...

Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
The thing I'll say, right, is that I think this has a lot in common with the first story we talked about on the previous part one episode of Games Daily, talking about how Microsoft's raising the prices and all that stuff, and I referenced the video from Alana Pierce, right, and, like, a lot of it coming down to how much the ecosystem is changing and how much, like, people are in, these companies, video games are in competition with
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
The other ways people are spending their times, namely things like social video or like the other types of content that are rising to the top. Also, I saw somebody left the call. Are we still going, Barrett? Are we still here? I'm going to talk and assume we're still here. But I think, you know, when...

Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
In the way that right now we're seeing the numbers possibly go down and become difficult and all this shit, right? I still think that there is so much value still in the type of content that we see out of games media. I think there's so much value in written articles. There's so much value in those opinion pieces.

It's just going to get more and higher, man. PS5 Pro already had sticker shock. PS5 Pro is already for the sickos that are willing to shell out the money to get that kind of experience. And, I mean, I go back to the Super Chat that was, like, this is a reminder that Phil Spencer is the CEO of a trillion-dollar company where, like, I blame Phil Spencer for a lot of things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25

Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
this is gonna happen everywhere like this is one where it is like all right strap in like buckle up your your your seat belts type situation right like i don't blame phil spencer necessarily for the prices going up even though sure he's probably like a part of those conversations i'm more so like i'm fascinated by the fact that they didn't call it out as like oh yeah because the terrorists are we're not we're moving up in price and you imagine this because they don't retaliation from the government

Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
yep yep i know like oftentimes we have these conversations as well right like i'll start off saying that it's tough to focus on video games as the like core of this conversation when this is affecting everything and i maintain that right but at the same time like video games and you know things that provide joy are important like i don't think we have to wait until it's food and shelter to like get really to get upset about things like this right like yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
We should be able to enjoy things. We should be able to afford enjoying things. Like, sure, some things are going to cost more than others, but this fucking sucks. Like, yeah, I think everybody should be upset about this if you're a fan of video games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
Yeah, it's going to happen more.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
I think the messy nature in which it feels like it's happening, I think points to what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah. This would have happened eventually, but this feels like it's being ruled out in a way where that feels almost more panicky. Like, all right, press the button. Like $80 are what games are going to be this holiday.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
Like I said, such a weird way to announce it.

What a day.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
I think to that as well, I'll say that I don't think video games will ever... die i think video games can get worse i think the industry can get worse i think like i think a lot of shit can happen but i think the in terms of the natural order of things i think a lot of things are going to adjust to what makes sense for the market and that might not be fun right
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
alexander husky in the chat says more and more people are never going to own anything it'll be rent and subscribe and yeah yeah i think i think all options are on the table as far as how do you get your video game to the consumer and i think whoever figures that out the most is going to be very successful in terms of like what the new age looks like that sounds so dark to play like oh you're right but like yeah like you know think about free to play think about yeah like um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
And again, that leads down like the all options on the table thing. I think Nintendo is in a strong place, even though the prices are going up because the budgets and like the levels of production for their video games, I think are a bit more like competitive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
Yeah, and the one more thing I'll say even to this topic, because you bring up Clare of Scare and Blueprints, I think... Those games from indie studios or studios that don't have to answer to shareholders are going to rise to the top and be the cream of the crop. And this is both Copium and both, like, just how I see it going.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
Like, I think those studios are going to remain and end up being, like, very pivotal and important to the industry, right? Like, Hades, A Blueprints, A Clear Obscure, A Baldur's Gate 3.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
Yeah, like, look at those games and... Cherish them and support them, because I think those are the studio. Those are the kinds of studios that are going to maintain putting games like those out because they've been successful. They've been selling and they don't have to answer the shareholders.

Yeah, I want to make this required viewing. Yesterday, Alana Pierce put up a video on her YouTube channel called The Video Game Industry is Screwed.

And I think the timing of this video is really good going into the news that we have today, because I think it provides a lot of context into what's been going on in the last couple of years with all the layoffs, everything's going, everything going on, but then also with prices going up and, us feeling in this place of, man, the video game industry seems fucked. And she makes a lot of points.

Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
I think the main thing that everything boils down to is the fact that it's a... I think Matt Piscitella mentioned this on the Greg interview episode that he was on. It's the fact that it's a maturing industry. It's the fact of... And from like, this is from Alana, right? From like 2010-ish to about 2021, there was meteoric growth in the numbers of how much money video games are bringing in.

Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
And then around the time of like 2022, you saw those numbers dip in a way that saw a lot of shareholders pull out, right? From 2010 to 2021, everybody was investing in video games. Oh man, there's so much money here. And I mean, you say esports, right? It was everything, right? Fortnite, like video games in general, honestly, like there was such a rise in terms of

Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
how many people were jumping in to invest or at least how much money was coming in on the investment side because there's a lot of potential there that's why you see things like risk that's why you see things like you know uh uh games that aren't necessarily the live service things the things that are that have to to be money makers getting funded because you had the space to try things out and maybe fail and try another thing out right and like figure out how to turn that into a success
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
After you see that dip and shareholders and everybody start to pull out and put their money into other things like AI or whatever else is, you know, like whatever else is seeing that upward trajectory. That's where you're seeing these companies tighten up their pockets and go, oh, we don't have space for risk. We don't have space for failure. We don't have space for just trying things out.

Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
Things that aren't pure profit. Things aren't pure profit, right? So that was, I think, probably the biggest bullet point out of everything she was talking about. But under that, you then have so many other things, right? She talked about how the real customers of the games industry are the shareholders, not the consumers, right? Us, we are... We are the consumers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
When you're talking about the customers and who you are appeasing with your business decisions, it is the shareholders, right? We can complain all we want about live service and about AI or whatever it is. At the end of the day, the business decisions that are being made are to appease shareholders. And I don't think this is anything...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
But yeah, it sucks to see the shit that we're going to talk about, which I think we're going to have a lot to say on, obviously, because it's all big news, but it sucks that it's all, for the most part, bad news.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
new like i think we've we've said all business it's business right we've talked about all this in like different forms or whatever right but like you know that was definitely a big bullet point that she talked about um she talked about competition as well like that's another thing when you talk about video games nowadays and like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25

you know reached out to every market that is interested in buying a console interested in like the mainstream what we consider mainstream video games uh right now you're in competition not only with like other publishers other developers but you're in competition with other hobbies um social video being the big one when you look at the amount of time that people spend a lot the amount of free time that people spend on tiktok on instagram reels all of it yeah yeah like

And when I look at myself and how much that's affected me and the amount of time I put into video games, my job is to play video games, right? That has taken up so much of that free time that these companies would want people to be playing video games or to make it way more viable.

A lot of the decisions that you're seeing being made right now are in trying to figure out how to navigate the place that we're at in the industry. I think when you talk about things that we are seeing people try that don't work, right? Like, we jumped to live service because I think that's, like, what we see people be vocal about on the internet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
But AI, as well, is another one where you've seen Microsoft really try to, like, embrace and push AI on the gaming sphere, right? And, like, again... And I think Alana puts it real well of like, hey, a lot of these things are for the investments, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
Hey, if Microsoft on their gaming side are able to get more AI implementation into their gaming stuff, that means more funding for their gaming stuff. And that sucks. But that also is like the reality of where we're at, where the money comes and goes, where the money comes and goes. Why? When you talk about something like you talk about Game Pass, right? I would extend that to play anywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Consoles Raise Price, Games Move Up To $80 This Holiday - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25
The idea that everything is an Xbox. This is an Xbox. Do you know what that's for? That's for the fact that, hey, we are increasing the prices of the hardware. Everything's going up in price and we got to figure out how to get more people into video games because we basically we maxed out. You know what I mean? Like we've reached potential as far as how far we can push these pieces of hardware.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Because I think you can make the argument that for Endgame, at the very least, like Infinity War, you got the year prior, right? We hadn't had a drought. It wasn't like there was a drought or a 10-year-long wait. I mean, more than that, right? It's been 12 years since the last GTA game.

It probably is just straight up the biggest, most anticipated entertainment property, even though I don't think there's any way to officially quantify that.

That's the actual thing of the story, right? Like, them saying, oh, we want to maintain the anticipation and excitement. That is the PR speak, right? That is speak for press and for audience. They'll be like, oh, man, they're so confident in this thing. The real reason why they're not telling us the date for GTA 6 yet is because they don't know when the date for GTA 6 is going to be yet, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

But from what the streets have told me, it feels like this game is not coming out this year. There you go. And that's not a like, don't quote me. Don't do anything. But I don't get the vibe that this game is coming out this year from what the streets have said.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think the only thing I could see happening in regards to Nintendo and GTA is if Mario is announced for the same day as GTA 6, I think maybe you move Mario out like a week or something. I think you buckle.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Doom is comparable to GTA.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think it'd be fun if Mario was coming out the same day as Ghost of Yota because Mario will fucking punch Jin Sakai. I guess Jin Sakai's not in this one. Punch Atsu? What's her name? Yes, Atsu. We'll punch Atsu in the face because 3D Mario is going to be the talk of the town.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think GTA is one of those ones where Nintendo would look at that and be like, it's easier for us to just release a week later. as opposed to try and release this day on the same... It's not going to bury Mario, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
It's not going to be the thing where... It's not going to ruin Mario's sales whatsoever, but I think it's an easy W for Nintendo to be like, actually, let's just move this up a week. Let's release it earlier. Fuck it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Who do you think would win in a battle between a hydrogen bomb and a coughing baby? GTA 6. But also, like, I don't know. It's a tough thing where I'm excited for all these games, right? Whether it be 3D Mario, Ghost of Yota, like, GTA, whatever it is, like, these all speak to me. And, like, honestly, I'm down for whatever shuffle of them come out this year versus next year.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I'm with you as far as, like, man... I'd actually be excited if something got delayed to next year, because then I'll just play next year, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, I would be down for GTA 6 to move into next year, or Ghost of the OTA, for that matter, to move into next year, because I feel like the rest of 2025 is already going to be busy with different things happening, right?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Yeah, exactly, right? And I think right now is one of those times where I can kind of look around a little bit and be like, all right, what do I want to play? And I think... Right now, for a AAA game, that is going to be about people putting time into it, and it being that game that is, all right, I got nothing else to play. Let me put on some Borderlands 4 and just shoot shit, right? Loot shit.

all right like it's crowded it's crowded it's borderlands and borderlands has the the ip power and the name recognition all that stuff but if it comes out alongside whatever nintendo and whatever like ghost of yotei and whatever like these big companies have going on they're not gonna release it alongside gta6 this is an interesting even keeping borderlands in the conversation for me i'm saying right away like for me to get hype about borderlands 4 i'm gonna need a vault hunter i really like

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think right now in the marketing cycle for both these games, Ghost of Yotei I think just feels more tangible and feasible, and we're getting bits about it that I think is important. Again, like, yeah, them talking about this being more of a revenge tale, I'm always down for a revenge tale.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Them talking about how they, you know, they want to tackle that repetition and figure out how to not make it as repetitive as open worlds tend to be, I'm down with that, even though every open world at some point is going to get repetitive, but like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I look at games like Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom, or Elden Ring as far as, all right, we have repetition, but how do we even make those repetitive things feel special in every iteration? And I think both those games are great examples. I think Ghost of Tsushima already, even within its repetition, was already still fun. I liked the things that I was doing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
So if it is the thing of, all right, we're taking what worked with Ghost of Tsushima and just building in more excitement from the moment to moment, finding the next... I was going to say tower. Sushi Man, I don't think it had towers, right? But like finding whatever that thing is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I need to get X, Y, and Z. I mean, it's the same with that Breath of the Wild, I think, that did such a great job of having a main quest, but you need to do the side stuff so you can be in a powerful enough position to complete that main quest.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I see Ghost of Yotei possibly doing the same thing as far as, hey, we have this bounty hunting system, but also you have these main targets that are the targets of the game. Let's say there are... Four big assassination targets that are the people that you're going after who murdered your homestead, right? And you have all these bounty targets that are beneath them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Taking down the smaller bounty targets are going to get you closer and closer to those bigger ones that complete the story. I think that sounds fucking awesome, especially if you can tackle that shit in any order you want. I hope that that is kind of the direction we're going with towards this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think I am of the mind of, like, I don't know. As I've been thinking about it more, I've been thinking about it more as a fall game, just for the sense of, like, will this game be prepared for summer?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I agree with that, yeah. I know the last Ghost of Tsushima came out in July, and, like, I think that was great for it, for what it is. And that was weird because of COVID, where it was, like, Last of Us, then Ghost, or vice versa. And, like, Last of Us got delayed, which I think then delayed Ghost. It was a whole weird thing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
But I think this time around, I think Ghost of Tsushima, or Ghost of Yotei, deserves that fall spot, but also, like... I just hope if it gets pushed up because of whatever, whenever GTA comes out, I just hope it's ready for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Yeah. I think games, as we've gone on, games have gotten more complex and more big and like more difficult to actually release, right? Because things just balloon up and up and like, you know, That requires more polish. That requires figuring out how to scale things. That requires a lot to get things out the door.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Isn't it kind of crazy that, I was going to say that nothing leaked. I think all the hardware stuff is leaked like crazy. Yeah, of course. Seemingly, right? Rumors, reports, all that stuff. But software side, it seems pretty buttoned up, right? Like, there's not really been any whispers of anything.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
And so we've seen more and more AAA stuff just miss the years because that's where we're at in video game development and how that stuff comes down. I'm not down on Ghost of Yota coming out this year. I believe that's going to come out this year. I'm mainly down on GTA 6. Again, just because of what the streets have told me. But again, like I don't know if that's 100%.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Things can change, obviously. But that's really the only game that I'm looking at where I'm like, I don't know if this is going to release this year. I think everything else, every other big game we're talking about...

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I'm saying I don't mind movie one ending that way. That would be fucking sick. See, that I would be sold for if at the end of movie one, even though this would... You all thought it was a stupid thing. It made sense. Usually, it would be like the second movie in a trilogy that has that tragic ending. Yeah, they are. Maybe it's not tragic the way they do it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Well, see, the way I want it, I want it to be tragic. I want...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
let's say movie one because I like the idea of it being movie one of hey movie one is essentially Ocarina of Time it is Link against the warlord who is Ganon and all this shit right but then the twist is at the end of the movie Link and whoever Link's people are they lose like they lose badly right and then Link wakes up a hundred years later and that is the second movie and the second movie gets into that Breath of the Wild I love that I love that give me a normal Ocarina and then get me off there yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think that'd be fucking sick. I don't think they're going to do that, but I think that'd be fucking sick. From just the synopsis, I'm very fascinated. This might have to be another Gamescast or something of what is your pitch for a three-movie arc for a Zelda thing? Because I don't know what neatly fits, aside from that 100-year idea, which could be really sick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Aside from that, how do you turn Ocarina into a three-movie thing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Sure, sure, sure. I'll be honest, when I first read the synopsis, My two thoughts were, this sounds like Zelda, but then also, like, are you just trying to do, with the trilogy news, right? Are you trying to make another Lord of the Rings out of this, right? And like, is this going to feel generic fantasy?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Is this going to feel iterative of just, oh, it's a three movie train, you know, fantasy trilogy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
If you, but like for me, that's not enough for me. I'm going to be like, all right, cool. They threw in the fucking big hand or whatever. The eyeball guys. Bongo Bongo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
bongo bongo yeah um if you throw in because zelda a big thing is zelda is time travel right time is such a big facet of what makes the story what it is if you throw in some timey-wimey bullshit in there i'm kind of in yeah like that is what you do to make this thing feel unique sky tech says movie one oh he did he broke up the it's gone now he broke up the triforce the courage oh movie one courage movie two wisdom movie three power i guess it wouldn't be that but figure out the order there that's cool that's cool movie two would be power power probably movie three be wisdom

Timotei. He'll be too old by then.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
He's already... He's also... That'd be hilarious.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Because he would have to be... Bear will get this, right? If you put Timothy in the movie, he'll be the, like, the version of Link from Twilight Princess that you meet. That's, like, the old... Skeleton? Skeleton, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility. I think there's a small chance. Like a tiny chance. But I think a chance is there that you see a peak of it. It won't be coming out this year.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
It was highly talked about by developers. I'm just saying it's not on me.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
You know what I mean? Just letting you know. But you could have corrected it. You know, I believe in you. However. You freestyled so well at the top of the show. You can freestyle that.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
It makes perfect sense. The thing that makes people believe this the most is the collectible coin. It's the most Nintendo shit of all time. Of course it is. Yeah, 100%. I feel like I bought five different major Nintendo games where in the box they gave you a collectible coin. I'm like, what am I supposed to do with this shit? Collect it. And put it where?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
The new Zelda? 3D Mario, but I so expect that that's going to happen that it wouldn't necessarily be a surprise. If we did get a glimpse of either a 3D Zelda or a Zelda remake, if it was an Ocarina of Time remake, I think that would get a huge pop out of me. Or like an Earthbound. Like something where it is like, oh, they're not going to do this shit, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Like if they finally were like, Mother 3 is coming out and it's only on the Switch 2. That would be something where I would be like, oh, fuck. I can't believe what's happening right now. I mean, just in general, a port of that would do that for you? I mean, if they're having it at a Switch 2 showcase, I would almost think that you do some kind of remake or reimagining. But I mean, even a port, yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Ooh, I got another one for you that I meant to add that came into my email this morning. It's kind of related to 2XK a little bit. Project K that Riot has been working on, which is the card game, that's basically their version of Magic. They have an official title for it. It is called Riftbound League of Legends TCG.

Maybe that's why. Cause I, I, when I, when I envision flossing, I do envision plaque getting just, I've just never, I've never had that experience. It might be your teeth. You might have really good teeth. I think maybe I got gaps that are doing it or whatever. Yeah. And you're doing it regularly. So that probably keeps it free. I guess. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

I said COD coming out in October is why you wouldn't November October they're just laying out the big stuff for the year I still think they'll leave September nice yeah nobody gives a fuck about COD I mean people give a fuck about COD but not for releasing it goes to Yotei Call of Duty is not the biggest is not the only big release in every month Call of Duty comes out true
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
GTA 6? Yeah. I think about this often of, not the fact that, like, whatever comes out, it's a 7 out of 10, but more so, like, GTA 5 came out in 2013, and it wasn't game of the year that year. Like, last, like, I think people do, including me, people do, like, overestimate, I think, GTA on, like, maybe how it's going to perform against other games, I guess on a cultural, conversational level.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
It's going to sell better than any other game that comes out that year. It's going to be talked about more than any other game that comes out around it, right, in that year. But, like, I don't think it's guaranteed it's going to get a 99 on Metacritic kind of thing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
But I think it's going to do very well. I don't think a GTA can come out and be a 7. Yeah, I mean, that would be...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

I like, I want to say, okay, here's the thing. I like how much you're burying the lead of this story because the lead is such a non-story. We don't want to tell you guys the release date for marketing reasons. Cool. Yeah, sure. All right. If we told you the release date, you'd have too much to look forward to. You'd have too much to look forward to. We're already looking forward to it.

I'm not ready yet. Is it the greatest release for a launch in history? I mean, it's a lofty thing to say, but I think it's up there. I'll probably say for an entertainment property, for an entertainment release, Here's... Between this and Endgame, it's like, what do you want to choose?

Now that's entertainment property right there. I think GTA 6 is in the conversation of being above Endgame in terms of anticipation. Because then we get into the conversation of how do you define anticipation? Does the amount of time people have been waiting for GTA 6 factor into that?

Dude, there's something special about when a game is so good that it ruins other games for you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Because I had the same thing playing Rise of the Ronin, where I was like, ah, I played... Combat's awesome, but... Yeah, combat's cool, but I kind of wanted to be in the Tsushima world, right? When I look at Assassin's Creed Shadows, and I started it, and honestly, I think in a world without Ghost of Tsushima or Ghost of Yotei coming up, it would probably be more likely...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
that I would fall down the Assassin's Creed shadows rabbit hole a little bit more. But when I look at the scope of, all right, I'm playing this, but I know what I really want. I know what I know. I know the main meal that I'm waiting for this year. Like that's what I want to get into right now.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
I like that. I feel like even though you can make the argument that, all right, cool, we're getting more Ghost of Tsushima. It's Ghost of Tsushima again. I do like that Sucker Punch is iterating. And I think they're still taking a ballsy approach because it's not Jin Sakai, right? We have a new main character. We have a new time period with this one, which is big.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
But then also, one of the things that I remember talking about quite a bit with Ghost of Tsushima is as much as...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
i would say structurally it's a ubisoft style open world game you can still see some of the influences taken from something like breath of the wild i remember like imran would talk about this a lot of i think we talked about that here talking about how yeah no you can see some of those some of those inspirations and then people got mad at him and then the developers were like oh no we took inspiration from breath of the wild with some of these some of these things i think

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Emron, you have my sincere apologies, even though I agree with you the whole time. We love you, Emron. And I'm not saying that, like, them doing the non-linear thing is a Breath of the Wild thing. I'm more so going to come into this with the idea of, I think when you're making an open-world game...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
find reasons for it to be open world i i i think the checkbox sort of like all right you have your main missions that you're doing in order but then you have a bunch of side quests that aren't really going to affect the main quest kind of thing i think that is great in moments right i think some games should be that right in assassin's creed for example could be that and i say that somebody hasn't played assassin's creed in a minute so maybe it's not that you can correct me
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Yeah, exactly. But I get more excited and I think it's more worthwhile to tackle an open world. With the open world being a factor into how we're tackling the main objectives, the main story, right? We can go anywhere. How do we make that fun? How do we make that interesting? How do we make it so that players actually feel like they have that freedom within the world?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
That makes a lot of sense. I think this guy was military. He had on, like, an American flag shirt. So I was like, man, all right, cool. That can't mean anything. But, you know, both of them, though, grinding my gears. Grinding my gears.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Yeah, like, this seems like they're taking that step, and that has me infinitely more excited for Ghost of Yotei than if they were to say, oh, no, it's just the same thing over again. You're just doing the linear missions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Yeah, for me, it's... The concern that I have that is less of a concern and more so a curiosity on how they solve it is the leveling of... Alright, like, so is it gonna be that Yotei... The first of the Yotei... Let's call him Yotei 1. Yotei 1 is gonna be the level 10 boss, and Yotei 3 is gonna be the level 30 boss, right? Or...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Will it scale? Are you going to Mega Man it where it is? All right, these are all the same level, but it's more about the abilities that you're unlocking with each one that are going to give you the advantage against other ones. She's ice powered. This is your electric.

No, it was the fact that... Here's the thing. I... Tried to stay up the night before in a bid to then fall asleep on the flight all the way back to try and adjust that jet lag. I wanted to readjust to American time because I knew I was going to end up landing at around 9.30 a.m. in San Francisco.

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
And people are putting on chat that like, I think is CJ Splitson who says, I don't think they're using a level system anymore. They say in the blog that it's just a skill mastering system, which does make a lot of sense. Yeah. I mean, I'm excited for this.

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Yeah, that's the thing is I wonder what people want out of StarCraft nowadays. I wonder if maybe they just want another StarCraft and they don't care about where it comes from as long as it's quality, right? I find it fascinating that they're trying to do this as a package deal of like, hey, make the next StarCraft and make Overwatch mobile, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Because I wonder... Why are we treating IP like this? Because I wonder which one is along for the ride. I wonder which one they're looking at is like, oh, they're going to want to make this, but also we can get them to make this. Do you think for them it's tough to get somebody to work on a StarCraft or it's tough to get somebody to work on an Overwatch mobile thing? No, absolutely not.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Or do you think they're just trying to consolidate and save as much money as possible and go, we have these two very expensive, very ginormous IPs that's going to make you a lot of money. take both of them at the same time so we can figure out a way to do this and not have it be a billion dollars each for us.

i've not beaten it i'm probably about 13 14 hours into clear obscure uh and like i'm i'm not listening to the review but i'm sure everything y'all said is stuff that i'll probably echo of like goddamn the writing is so on point on this game the visuals are so cool to look at right like really good art direction the combat is so fantastic right like it's fun to see people online talk about how they're not turn-based combat people and they're still enjoying the combat of clear obscure i'll challenge you and say that you are a turn-based combat person and this is just the thing to convert you

And that immediately woke me up. I then, like, had a search for, because I had, like, a sleep mask in my bag. So I searched for that. I put it on. Then food came. I took it off when I was eight.

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
The turn-based combat system is fantastic. It's really unique. I love that each character kind of has their own thing going on with what their combat system is, what their unique mechanic is. Because it keeps things interesting. I don't want to compare and contrast and be like, oh, does this thing better or worse than a Persona or something, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
But I do think there's something to be said about how they make like combat feel so engaging by making me really think about like, all right, I really want to order this character first because I know their ability charging up in this way is going to give benefit to when I come back around.

three-dimensional puzzle solving cool puzzle solving within the combat that's fucking awesome uh my one beef with it and like with like combat and like i would say character customization specifically is like goddamn do they load you up on the pictos and the lumina the lumina it's so much and i don't know if they if they condense that at all as i go forward or if it just becomes more and more and more but like just more and more

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
There's some of them where it's like, alright, you get this, but also, you're going to spend way more of this thing. You really have to decide of, do I want to do this playstyle? I think that stuff is cool. The biggest compliment I want to give to the game is...

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
something i didn't like in the marketing of it because i remember seeing the uh like the ad posts on like twitter for the game and the they would have phrasing that would be essentially like we are innovating grpgs or we are redefining grpgs and playing this game i'm like you didn't need that language like you're honoring grpgs like you're doing such a good job of

Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Obviously, the reviews... This is one of those cases where I think the reviews have done so much for getting this game in front of people's eyes and putting people onto this game because you see those numbers and you go, wait, really? Like, this really cool-looking game that, you know, had these really dope-ass trailers, it's actually living up.

I mean, I think a million copies sold for this makes this overall... They did the right things here. They made a fantastic game. They found a Game Pass deal that is going to get this game in front of people's eyes and get the player base up there. On top of that, they were able to sell a million copies as of now. They're going to sell more as they go on in the future.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25

I think Expedition 33 isn't going to get as flowers as an Indie Game, even though I think technically it is. It is. Technically, it is very much an Indie Game. But I think people are going to look at it and be like, oh, that's a AAA thing.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
I just don't think people are going to make that connection. In the same way that people don't look at Baldur's Gate 3 as an indie game. I think people are going to look at it and be like, oh, that's expensive.

I received a... like an Instagram reel this morning in my group chat, my group chat full of my nerd friends, right? And it was a Thunderfolk thing. They're all like, yo, we should play this.

Over the weekend, I played so much more and I was like, oh, fuck. I'm not ready for a spoiler test. Like there's so much more here that I want to experience. And I started thinking about Kevin Coelho and I'm like, oh, he's probably seen it all. Like he's probably like committed his life to this game and he's going to tell me all the solutions. But it's going to be a very good conversation.

You're killing it. Also, when you hear the Yotei Six, does that not make you think of a rap group? It's like the rival group to Wu-Tang Clan.

There's no changing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
Oh, dude. That's what I'm excited about. When I hear something like this, it makes me think of many of the games that I love. It makes me think of something like Breath of the Wild, where it is, alright, attack the objectives in any order you want. It brings me back to... I still gotta go back and finish Mass Effect 2. It's one of my greatest gaming sins. I got halfway through that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
But in that game... When I realized that it's one of those ones where, oh, you can choose which objectives you want to tackle first. You can kind of order this around. I think that grants freedom to the player, and I think that's a good thing, right? It reminds me of a Mega Man. Like, if you want to go way back as far as, all right, if I go here and take out this guy, I know I'm going to get...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
this skill or this weapon, which I'm going to then use to fight this boss because it might be strong against them. They've not gone that much into detail with it, but you've got to imagine that if you're making a game like this, you've got to be able to find the advantages of going after one guy first versus the other boss first.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Ghost of Yotei’s Non-Linear Campaign Explained - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.28.25
And if that's the direction that they're taking it, I think that's beautiful.

Do you think this is a... Like, when you talk about the judges that are judging for the Game Awards... Because this is the thing I was literally talking to Barrett about right beforehand, right? Like... It is an international panel of judges, right? It's not like Jeff Keighley is just reaching out to people that live in the U.S.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
He is reaching out to outlets from other countries, and everybody is having a say in what gets nominated and what wins here. Do you think it's because college football is specifically an American thing? Do you think because there's less of a worldwide appeal for college football, obviously, because it's American college football?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
F1. I think more of the world cares about tennis than college football. If you're talking about worldwide. Obviously, America cares way more about American football than anything else. I know. This is what I want to do. Barrett, is there a way you can look up the page that has the voting panel?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Yeah, I would love to see, just to, like, compare and see, like, okay, how many of these are folks that we're familiar with, right? The polygons, the IGNs, the game spots of the world, versus people that we just don't know about that are, might be an outlet from Brazil or, like, Nigeria.

I'm pretty sure Nigeria doesn't have any, but, like, you know, I want to see how much of it is worldwide and how much that might come into play when we get into these things. Next up, we got best sim slash strategy. Very happy to see Unicorn Overlord get some love. Good for Unicorn Overlord.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I think you just gotta keep in mind, if you're somebody that's reading Kotaku and reading Polygon and reading IGN and your sources for video game news and reviews and media is based on our small American bubble, I think you're gonna miss out on a worldwide conversation. And I think that's gonna come into play when we get to things like Game of the Year that has Black Myth on it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
And things that people maybe didn't see coming.

Moving on, we got Best Family Game, Astro Bot, Princess Peach Showtime, Super Mario Party Jamboree, The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, and The Plucky Squire.

Solid list to me. Solid list to me. Princess Peach Showtime, that's one that I know Tim didn't like that game, but it also seems like more of a kid, kiddie, kids game aimed at a very younger audience. And so I think for a family game, maybe it could make sense. Pleased with this list. Best Fighting Game.

The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I've seen what the Game of the Year nominations are, because that's impossible to dodge. But for this episode, I wanted to come in clean just to see what the surprises are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, Granblue Fantasy vs. Rising, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics, Multiverses, and Tekken 8. Whoa. Multiverses does not belong here. Take out Multiverses, put in Rivals of Aether 2. Oh, okay. Yeah. The streets are loving Rivals of Aether 2. Now, that just came out? It did. It came out in, like, September-ish. Okay. Chat, correct me if I'm wrong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
It's September or October. Okay, so it's been out for a while. Yeah, it's been out for a little bit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Any other fighting games missed this list? Under Night In-Birth, but I don't know if that had enough of a crowd around it. I didn't really hear many people talk about Under Night. I think maybe that's because it came out around the same time as Tekken. I'm happy that Granblue Fantasy vs. Rising got a shout out because that came out at the end of last year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
That was one of those December releases that you worry about a little bit of getting noticed here. So I'm happy that that got its due.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
um but yeah under night and birth is the only other one that comes to mind and then yeah rivals of ether 2 i think definitely should be in there over uh multiverses okay okay best rpg dragon's dogma 2 elden ring shadow of the earth tree final fantasy 7 rebirth like a dragon infinite wealth metaphor refantasio stacked you on those very i think there's even more you could slide in there as well so yeah that's a solid year are you shocked that there's no dragon age
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
See how close I get. But then afterwards, I was talking to people,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Oh, nice. What a character, too. I know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
That's a crazy character, just so you know. This lines up with what I actually predicted. I love that Dragon's Dogma 2 got in there. Dragon's Dogma 2 is one that made such a big splash when it came out. And that's one that, again, I worry about how time moves on. Even though I'm not a Dragon's Dogma 2 person, I wouldn't want that to get lost to time as far as what that meant to people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
in chat about like yo i'm looking for a game i'm thinking about playing a puzzle game like you know i want something that's gonna scratch my puzzle poppy yeah yeah so um people are saying lorelei and the laser eyes because i've been putting that off all year okay finish the stream and i was like let me boot up lorelei and i booted it up and i was like oh man this still feels too hardcore for what i'm feeling right now then i mean too hardcore puzzle wise for you yeah over
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Because people love Dragon's Dogma 2 when it came out. Best action adventure game. You got Astro Bot, Prince of Persia, The Lost Crown, Silent Hill 2, Star Wars Outlaws, and The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Well, I guess my beef is... It comes with best action and best action adventure both being categories, and I think it's still being slightly confusing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Star Wars, a little bit. But I guess I'm humming and hawing over it just feeling like I look at these games and I'm like, are these really the same genre?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
When I say action adventure, what comes to mind first? Just any game. Best action adventure game. Zelda. Just action adventure. Yeah. uh stellar blade i say god of war okay yeah like an uncharted comes to mind okay yeah yeah uh-huh like i think any game that is like has a journey to it like a story narrative to it that like i don't know maybe so many games
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
but that's why I don't like this as a thing right like I think maybe you can categorize that game that type of game as action adventure but I think when you get into best action we're just doing too much my recommendation has always been take RPG and turn it into action RPG and turn based RPG because I feel like that has more variety to it than like best action versus best action adventure I don't like the separation just because of the combat is different an RPG is an RPG you know
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
But I guess my point is there's... Like, Elden Ring and Unicorn Overlord are both RPGs. Yeah. But, like, those are two extremely different games at their core. And I think if you can... I don't know, separate that a bit. You get into games that have more similarities and differences. Best action, best action adventure. What are we talking about?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Like, what is it about Astro Bot, Star Wars Outlaws, Echoes of Wisdom, Silent Hill 2, and Prince of Persia that make you look at those and go, oh, yeah, these are all the same genre? It just doesn't make sense to me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I mean, to bring in best action game, we're talking about Black Myth Wukong, Call of Duty Black Ops 6, Held Iris 2, Stellar Blade, Warhammers 40K Space Marine 2. Which, honestly, I do think there's a good list of nominees for this category. For best action game? For best action, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
It's just like, it seems demanding. It seems like one of those games where I'm really going to need the notepad, and I'm really going to need a lock.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I feel like there can be a lot of cleaning up between best action, best action adventure, and best RPG. Just because there's too much overlap between those three categories, and I think there's too much confusion as to what makes what what. Because you can say, yes, an RPG is an RPG, and I think that is true. The problem is that every fucking game has RPG elements to it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
And so, like, I don't know. I look at Black Myth Wukong, and in my opinion, I think that has way more in common with an Elden Ring than it does with a Call of Duty Black Ops 6. I look at Stellar Blade, and I'm like, that has way more in common, again, with the Elden Ring, than it does with a Warhammer's 40k Space Marine 2. I just think there's cleaning up there to be had.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I'm not saying that I have the perfect solution as far as best action RPG versus turn-based RPG, but I think it starts to get you to a place where you can see the lines, right? Put Baldur's Gate up against Unicorn Overlord. That makes more sense. Put Elden Ring up against, I don't know, any other action RPG.

The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Do they really? Do they actually say that? I was just making that up. Oh, okay. But I played like 30 minutes, and I was like, ooh, what if I, let me try this other game called Case of the Golden Idol that I've heard Lucy James talk about. Okay, okay. Let me tell you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Here's the thing, Mike. I know it's a good conversation when during the break we have more conversations about these things. A lot of conversations. There was somebody in chat that was like, best shooter should be a category. And I was like, that's a good conversation. We should have that conversation. And then you bring up the fact that, like, you know, like, Elden Ring.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
How is that not an action game? Not an action game? I... Mike, this is the conversation I have with you. Video game genres are fucked and there's no way I'm fucking them. If you were to ask me what makes an action game an action game, I think what makes an action game an action game... This is going to sound ridiculous, Mike. This is going to be the most insane thing I'm going to say. Tell me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Case of the Golden Idol is the first one, because I do have both. I got the code for Rise, and I wanted to play Case before I played Rise, so I bought Case. And let me tell you, this game fucks. Case of the Golden Idol...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
It's action. Oh, okay. Literally, it is you are pressing square to punch, or you're pressing square to slash, or you're pressing X to jump. Okay. And like... I'm going to say something even more insane, right? Tell me. When I think of an action game, I think typically you think of almost like an action movie, right? Michael Bay directed. You're fucking shooting guns, taking people out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
It's bloody. It's action. I think video games... When I think about defining video game genres and categories, I think of them more on a mechanical level. Okay. And so I think... If a game is based on reflex, based on you are having to time a jump to get over an obstacle or whatever, I view that as action in a similar way that I view swinging a sword or I view shooting a gun in a game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
What makes an RPG an RPG? What's an RPG? Yeah. That's a very complicated question. Okay, okay. For me, what makes an RPG an RPG are stats having a very high influence on your success over the course of maybe a journey, right? And so like, It is how you spec a character. It is you looking at those choices of, oh, I want to go all in on my luck.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Oh, I want to take these points and put them into... I'm trying to think of an Elden Ring. Stamina or whatever it is, right? The problem is every video game has that now. Every video game has RPG elements. Elden Ring, I think, is a... pure example of an RPG because those stats really do matter. Those stats really do matter for how you're approaching your character build.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
You look at somebody else's game and their main character is way different from how your main character looks. You are gonna have a variety of different play styles across different players for that same game. For me, that is part of the core of what makes an RPG an RPG. Elden Ring, I think it's both. I think Elden Ring is an action game. I think Elden Ring is an RPG.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
is sick okay it's a point and click puzzle game where you're essentially trying to solve these crime scenes by like clicking into like people's pockets and seeing like what's going on right like usually a scene will be you see like a dead body or you see like a person dying and like you have either people around in different rooms or you have like clues around so you like point and click them okay what the story is like see if you can put the story together i meant to play this for

But does it have adventure in it? It does have adventure in it, Mike.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
And so I look at these three categories and I'm like, Elden Ring... I think it's eligible for all three of these categories. And that's my problem, is that we get into these three categories, and so many games nowadays are eligible for these three categories. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, same thing. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, I would say, is eligible for all these categories.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
And that's the thing. That is what makes video games beautiful, right? That's how you get things like Horizon Forbidden West or A God of War Ragnarok, right? The fact that developers can look at all these different genres of games and go, how do we take the best of and smoosh them into a concoction? Do some cool stuff. That's going to give us a really cool game. And guess what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
That's how we get these cool melding of genres and good-ass video games. And that's how we get three categories with 15 different games. That's why I'm like, we got to redefine a lot of these categories. Okay. I do like the idea of best shooter because that's very clear and cut. And also, we get a lot of shooters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Trevor says, I'm of the mindset there should be a separate category for DLC slash expansion so it still gets recognized but does not take away from brand new games. Again, that's a conversation for when we get to it. We'll save it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24

I'm going to put 80 hours into my life. Play a different game. But they said I have the plat in Persona 5 Royal, four trophies away from the Persona 3 plat. Persona is my top three franchises, but metaphor hasn't pulled me in. Sad face. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
That's nuts. Because metaphor is basically just a successor. That's crazy. But hey, I mean, to use their own. I'm not judging you, of course. But like, man, that's wild.

The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Oh man, these just keep coming in. Joey Ratstone says, a modern day RPG in its purest form is any Atlus game. That's a conversation to have of like, what do you consider a modern day pure RPG? I'll say Baldur's Gate. Baldur's Gate 3 I think is like... But there's no action in Baldur's Gate. There's like zero action, yeah. Well, no, because it's turn-based. That's bullshit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Not the way I define it, no. To me, action is the antithesis of turn-based. Okay. So no action? Again, I think it's a confusing conversation to have because when you're thinking of action, you're thinking about action movie. You're thinking about violence happening on screen. When I say action, I am talking about a way to separate from a turn-based, almost like a strategy style of gameplay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
And let me tell you what I appreciate about this game that I think I've been missing out of games quite a bit this year is for a year where I've been playing a lot of long-ass games that, you know, take their time, that want to, you know, demand 90 hours of your play time and all this shit, right? What I appreciate about this, and I want to maybe make a Smiley's category for this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
But no adventure? Okay, well I didn't say anything about adventure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
There's three categories that are all the same here. Well, that's why I separate action RPG from turn-based RPG. Okay, okay. You know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Kingdom Hearts is an action RPG. Final Fantasy VII is a turn-based RPG. Hey, hey. Yes. I agree, Bless. There's a conversation to be had.

I mean, the fact that Bellaccio got nominated for Game of the Year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
That's fair. People are going to want it to win something. And I think it's this. Also, Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket, even though we're all obsessed with it, I think it still has its problems enough that, like, I could see people being like, we got the nomination, but I don't know if it's the winner here. Okay.

I mean, there probably should be. Okay. Best community support. You got Baldur's Gate 3, Final Fantasy 14, Fortnite, Helldivers 2, No Man's Sky. Do you think Helldivers 2 gets this one?

I think it's a good category. I'm with Barrett that I think 1000X Resist should be in there. I want to know, Life is Strange, Double Exposure. Here's my thing. What is the impact on that one, Bliss?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Just because it's Life is Strange doesn't mean it needs to be nominated for Game for Impact. I appreciate it in the previous Life is Strange games, but I don't know. What would be the impact here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I mean, they have a very inclusive cast, but I feel like there are a lot of games this year that have an inclusive cast that I couldn't see get nominated. Okay. I feel like Dragon Age, the Veil Guard, could have been in Year Over, Life is Strange, if that's what we're going off of. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Like, I feel like these other... I didn't play Close to the Distance. I don't know what the message is in Indica. I didn't play much of that either. I know Roger did.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
But, like, Senua Saga Hellblade 2, I think, for sure, yeah. Like, we both played that game. I think if that game, for me, brought anything to the table, it is, like... oh man, like these, they do such a good job with depicting what's new is going through. Right. And like, what, like how she's experiencing psychosis and putting you kind of in the head of, of Sanua.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Um, and then Taylor's against Arizona. I love what they do with that as well, too. Like a really strong message of grief and getting over grief. Also, when you want to talk about like inclusivity or representing, um, you know, um, demographic demographics that haven't been represented before as strongly in video games. I love how deeply they went into African mythology.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Of course, like that hits close to home for me. Uh, and I think, yeah, tails can Zara's out for games for impact for sure. That makes sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Hmm. I've not played through it, so I can tell you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
My pitch for it simply is if you want it to play something that's very fresh, very different, and really is in its bag with its writing and having something to say, that's A Thousand Exorcists.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
And it doesn't seem like that too long of a game, so I'm going to try and finish it in the next... A little double feature maybe? Yeah, maybe finish it in the next week and then get to the Rise of the Golden Idol because I'm really enjoying this puzzle format. But enough about that. Let's talk about today's news because remember, this is Kind of Funny Games Daily.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
For, well, I digress. Innovation and Accessibility. You got Call of Duty Black Ops 6, Diablo 4, Dragon Age The Veil Guard, Prince of Persia The Last Crown, and Star Wars Outlaws. Solid. Best Performance. Brianna White from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Hannah Tell from Life's Strange Double Exposure. Humberly Gonzalez from Star Wars Outlaws. Luke Roberts from Silent Hill 2.

And Melina Juergens from Senua's Saga Hellblade 2. Barry's shaking his head. Is it because no Heismay? Because no Heismay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Best Audio, we got Astro Bot, COD, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Senua's Saga Hellblade 2, Silent Hill 2. This is exactly what I expected. Yeah. Yeah, this is a very solid list here. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, I guess, surprised me a little bit. I guess that game had great sound. It had a great soundtrack, which I know is different, but... I like this list. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Best score in music, you got Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Metaphor ReFantasio, Silent Hill 2, Stellar Blade. Mike, I was listening to the Stellar Blade soundtrack last night. Hit me. That shit might be the GOAT of the year. It's a really good soundtrack that I would be surprised if it won because you got Metaphor on this list, which I think people...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Like, that battle thing from Metaphor sticks in people's heads. Yeah, okay. And Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, like, come on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Stellar Blade's soundtrack, I think, is going to go under the radar here. I'm glad it got nominated because it is fantastic. Okay. It is. It's so good. But it's also, like, you played Nier Automata. Yeah. You kind of know what they're going for. Shadow of the Earth Tree didn't have any banger songs? I mean, it probably did, but, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Yeah, I guess I can't really think of... It's lost in the action. I guess it gets lost in the action in the RPG. The RPG menu. Moving on, we got Best Art Direction. You got Astrobot, Black Myth Wukong, Elden Ring, Metaphor Refantasio, Neva. I think a great list. Shout out, thank goodness you're here also. He's not there, but I think that's a good one for art design or art direction.

The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
They answer, the Game Awards aims to recognize the best creative and technical works each year, irrespective of the format of that content's release. Expansion packs, new game seasons, DLCs, remakes, and remasters are eligible in all categories if the jury deems the new creative and technical work to be worthy of a nomination.

It's in there. And I don't know if Greg Miller is listening. Greg Miller, if you're listening, I want to pitch a games cast that is fixing the game awards. And it's us bringing to the table what we would redo all the categories as. Because I think there is a discussion. I love having a discussion of like best action versus best action adventure. You know, best shooter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
That's what he mentioned in chat of like, that feels like a category that should be there. Best DLC slash expansion feels like one that is a slam dunk. I think we got it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Well, it depends. I don't think so. I really don't think so.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Yeah, but also that's because there's no best DLC option, right? This comes into, hey, let's redefine these and define these clearly enough to where you don't have as much confusion. No matter what, there's going to be confusion. No matter what, there's going to be arguments.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
There's going to be conversation because video games are so many different things, and it's such a variety that you cannot make a catch-all thing. But yeah, I think if you put in a best DLC category, a best expansion, you look at best ongoing and go, this is for what we consider live service titles. That's how I look at that, yes. Yes. And then you look at expansions and go, hey, this is for...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
You figure out the words. I'm not a fucking Game of War technician here, so I can't get into this right now. Maybe when we do the Gamescast episode or if we do a Gamescast episode.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
But all that being said, to your point and what you just mentioned, and to I think the way I look at it, Elden Ring, Shadow of the Earth Tree, and I think I said the same things when we played Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty last year. That was one of the best experiences I had in a video game this year. I look at Elden Ring, Shadow of the Earth Tree,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Let me use Cyberpunk as an example, actually, because I feel like I feel more stronger about that from last year. Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty was one of the best experiences I had. It was a top five experience for me in a video game last year. The content was new. The areas that I'm exploring was new. The characters were new. The story was new. And I'm playing 20 hours of new content here.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
If you took that same thing, and this comes back to Elden Ring, right? Shadow of the Earth Tree. If you take Shadow of the Earth Tree or you take a Phantom Liberty or you take a expansion of that nature and said, hey, let's just drop the standalone and allow you to play this without buying the previous game, guess what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
That would make it a standalone game and it would end up in this category anyway, right? I feel like we're... It is... We are, I guess, getting into the semantics talk, I think, a bit too much when it comes to, oh no, DLC doesn't deserve it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Like, if a DLC expansion is, I guess, quality enough, sizable enough, like for me, is giving me the enjoyment of a new experience with a video game, I don't know. For me, it works.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Yeah. And that's my thing too, is I think like, it is also up to Jeff Keighley and whoever's defining these parameters. I'm also the mind of like, you know, all this shit is made up. And like, who really gives a fuck? It's kind of where I come down with it too. For kind of funny, for example, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
If whoever's running it, if Barrett, for example, if we call Barrett like the arbiter, which Barrett actually pretty much is, right? The arbiter test.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Yeah, like, if Barrett's the arbiter of kind of funny game of the year, if Barrett were to come to us in a meeting and go, hey, we are not including DLC, we are not including expansions, we're going for full games, yada, yada, yada, I'd be like, all right, cool. Because, like, I don't know. I think parameters are good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
My thing is just make the rules and parameters clear, and I think we're fine. I think Jeff Keighley came out, or he didn't come out, but he put in the FAQ, because this has always been a thing, but he had to reinforce it this year, of DLCs and expansions are eligible. So guess what? Those are the rules that we're playing with. Yeah, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
So today, after Count of Funny Games Daily, you're going to get Gamescast, which is us predicting the Game Awards winners. Today's KFGD is just going to be us reacting to the Game Awards nominees. So you're getting a Game Awards double feature based off the nominees, right? Today, we're talking about who they are. We react.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Let's see. To go back to the one that I starred earlier, right? This is, again, from Trevor. I am of the mindset there should be a separate category for DLC slash expansion so it still gets recognized but does not take away from brand new games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
And I think, again, when we come back and pitch our own Game of the Year... When we talk to Jeff Keighley out there, maybe... I mean... Because I think that could be a solution.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Yeah. Hold on. My thing is going slow. Mike, I need you to also pull up the Super Chat because my browser is struggling. Here we go. Here we go. Jacob G. writes and says, should TGA do away with genre categories and change to discipline categories like Oscars? I don't know what that means. Okay. Are we talking about best special effects, best makeup, best set piece?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I've not thought about that. Oh, okay. Let me think about that. Let me sit down for a second. What would the disciplines be for video games? Best, I mean, best, you know, OST is already there, right? Best soundtrack. Because we already do have some discipline categories in the Game Awards already, right? Best, uh... I mean, we already kind of have, like, art style. Best combat system.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Yeah, art style is already there. Technical achievement.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I like it, but I also don't know if that's a Game Awards thing. I mentioned this before. I compare Game Awards more to the VMAs more so than I do the Oscars. I feel like the award show that Greg hosts is more so almost Oscars-like, the Dice Awards. Dice Awards, yeah, of course. But for me, VGAs is so... Jeff Keighley's The Game Awards is way more about...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
hype and way more about like the almost like the poppy presentation to it right you want it to be fun you want it to be you don't want it to feel like a like a gala or like you know something that is overly serious i feel like when you do i feel like the discipline awards almost feel like they fit home more so at a dice than they do at what jeff killey has been building with the game awards danielle z writes in and says i think dlc should get its own category earth tree is part of elden ring which already got its flowers give someone else a chance
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I think that's a decent argument, right? Especially if a game already had its flowers. Not that we're taking it away, because again, I'm of the mind that people worked very hard on Shadow of the Earth Tree. That is a... Shadow of the Earth tree is a new product. People worked for years on that thing and it's one of the best things of the year. I think it should be awarded.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I'm not necessarily against the idea of a DLC category. That way we can award that thing and then have it feel like a, okay, cool. There's more space for games that are new to get those flowers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
CJ Splitson says Valhalla snub it was incredible talking about God of War Valhalla there yeah pretty wild I don't know what I would have nominated in though I love God of War Valhalla but like I don't think that was a game of the year contender necessarily if it was a DLC category would you put that in there yes yes 1000% that was also a tough one because it came out at the end of last year yeah ongoing God of War Ragnarok for ongoing game was hilarious um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
People are not pleased, Mike? They're not pleased. About awards nominees? Oh, God. Let's talk about that. But then after this, we're going to talk about our predictions for who's going to win each category. So stay tuned. And then afterwards, Mike is going to stream more of some of that there. Kingdom Hearts 2. If you're a kind of funny member, you can, of course, get today's Gregway.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
All right. I think we're good. We have some more Super Chats, but of course, we don't always get to every Super Chat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I think that's... I think both are equivalent. I think both things matter, right, as far as story choice. But I think the problem is that I think video game RPGs, it's tougher to make those story choices matter as much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Because RPG comes from tabletop stuff, where it is, all right, you have your character sheet, you are filling out characters to be their unique thing, and then also you have so much agency when you're playing a D&D game with friends. When you're talking about video games, like... If you're going to go by that as a core thing of RPGs for video games, I think we are sizing that down like crazy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
That's where I come from. I feel like you look at Baldur's Gate 3 and go, you are the standard for RPGs, and not many video games can hit what Baldur's Gate 3 does.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I guess I'm a little bit surprised about what didn't make it, which is I'm surprised Helldivers 2 didn't make it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Yeah, and then Dragon Age, The Veil Guard. I'm not super surprised. I think I'm surprised from the sense that Dragon Age, The Veil Guard is kind of the prototypical thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
game of the year yeah oh yeah it is a polished like action adventure rp the last entry in the series did win the game of the year award that year like 10 years ago this is this isn't me as somebody who's like i'm not like a dragon age person but just based off of the type of game dragon age is i would have thought that that was a issue and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Because Black Myth is one that I think surprises us a little bit, but that, again, comes back to the worldwide aspect, for me, of Game Awards. You look at all those outlets, and you think about, I guess, just what Black Myth is. In the same way that I view Dragon Age as a prototypical, this is what a Game Awards nominee usually is for a game of the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I think Black Myth Wukong checks those boxes while at the same time being something that I think sticks out a bit more. The cutscenes in Black Myth look ridiculous. The end of chapter sequences for that game, wild. Crazy-ass boss fights that got a lot of... attention online, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
What's up?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
That was one of those games where you open up TikTok and like, there's so many people that are just playing Black Myth on TikTok live, right? So many people that are reacting to moments of that game. I think that game got so much attention, you know, let alone even like the influence and the impact of that game in China. The Steam concurrence at the time. Crazy numbers. Crazy numbers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
And I think that, I think that translates to like, okay, well, this is unequivocally one of the biggest games of the year, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I think there is a popularity conversation that happens with the Game Awards nominees for Game of the Year where, like, you have to be an excellent game for sure, but also I think popularity carries it a long way, which is why I'm surprised to get to see, I'm surprised and happy to see Bellatro here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Yeah, I don't know if you mentioned Like a Dragon also. Yeah, Like a Dragon. That's the one that people love to throw out there. I don't... Yeah, the... I don't think there's a clear one if you take out Shadow of the Earth Tree. I think you have a handful, right? I think it's the games we just mentioned. It's Silent Hill 2. Yeah. It's Warhammer, right? And it's Helldivers 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
I think between those, you probably have something there, but... I don't know. Again, I'm not mad at Urtry. If anything, I'm more surprised at Black Myth and even more surprised but delighted at Bellacho.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
Mike, as I do this, I want you to read through the Super Chats. Let me know if there's anything staying up there that we should do later. Story number two, which is now being demoted to Weed News. Kunitsugami, Path of the Goddess, missed sales targets because of a lack of pre-launch buzz, Capcom says.

The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
They go into it during a shareholder-focused Q&A reported on by Gamebiz, talking about how Kunitsugami, Path of the Goddess, missed sales targets, but they're trying to make up for that. They're trying to sell more copies. It seems like all the other Capcom games did hit their sales targets.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Nominees: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.18.24
And then story number three, Roblox blocks under 13s from DMing others outside games amid scrutiny over child protection. I pulled that headline from Wesley Yenpool at IGN. I highly recommend Patrick Klepek had a post that he posted on Blue Sky from his, I guess his blog, right? Crossplay.

They will use their own community forum, HoYoLab, instead. I pulled that from Noble. Half-Life 2 is free to own on Steam until November 18th.

It's time for some news. We have four stories today. A baker's dozen. Starting with our number one. Game Awards nominations have been revealed.

But it's easier for me to just have it all in one place, so I don't have to click around and do whatever. And so shout out to Tom Ivan at VGC for compiling the Game Awards nominees for me. He didn't do it for me specifically, but for the case of this. He starts off saying the nominees for the Game Awards 2024 have been announced, and they are.

Es war mehr Playstation Worldwide Studios an dem Zeitpunkt, bin mir sicher. Aber egal. Ich denke, Helldivers 2 wäre ein Exklusiv-Programm ohne Live-Service-Push von Playstation. Wenn wir über Bungie sprechen, denke ich, dass Bungie's Marathon-Game, egal ob PlayStation's Live-Service-Push, ich würde sagen, dass das wahrscheinlich passieren wird.

Und so sprechen wir wirklich darüber, was die großen Dinge sind, die wir kennen, weil ich sicher bin, dass es einige sind, die wir noch nicht kennen. Ich denke, dass Concord und Fair Games die originellen PlayStation sind, die dieses Ding machen. Und sogar Concord, ich könnte das vielleicht zu viel drücken, weil ich denke, dass Concord vielleicht existiert hätte,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: PlayStation Live Service Game Fairgame$ Has Slipped - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.17.25
I think Concord did exist, actually, before PlayStation took that over. But even still, it seemed like PlayStation had a very big hand on, hey, we see this, we have this strategy, we are adopting this into our PlayStation Live Service thing. Fair Games feels like more of a ground-up thing, but y'all get what I'm saying. So yeah, I'm 100% with you as far as Fair Games' Role in this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

All that said, I don't think Fair Games comes out. Really?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Report: PlayStation Live Service Game Fairgame$ Has Slipped - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.17.25
I think Concord was such a monumental failure. We can't underrate how much of a failure Concord was for PlayStation. And I think that's an immediate pull the cord. I think Marathon being what it is, Marathon being a Bungie thing, Marathon, I think... Possibly having juice in a different way than these other things do puts it in a different conversation.

I think Concord sucking up a bunch of money and then Basically getting none back. Of course it got some money back, but not nearly the money that you put into it. I think that is one of those ones where we cannot even replicate this failure.

I like this. I want to bring in a super chat to assist with this conversation. Skyforcen writes in and says, Concord didn't suck though. It failed because of the price. And I want to make it clear, I don't think I said that it sucked. It's documented that, kind of funny, we liked Concord. At least enough, right? I think we gave it like 7s. I might have gave it a 6.5, I forget.

But we played it and I stand by, Concord was good. One of the problems was that it was just good, right? It wasn't great, it wasn't fantastic. Also $40. But it was $40. I think the marketing failed it as well. I think there was a list of reasons why Concord was the failure that it was. And yeah, it comes down to price. It comes down to, I think it was very badly marketed.

I think the... The market itself is just like oversaturated with stuff. Yeah, the market itself is oversaturated. I think... And to your point, Roger, of like, you know, maybe with fair games you make something good enough to then occupy that stage. I think Concord is an example of something that was... Good enough, right? But like, you can't fly off of good enough.

But then also, right, like, I would love to see new spaces or I guess spaces like that either carved out or, you know, see new life breathed into it.

Yeah, and to bring, to compare it to something like Overwatch, right? Like, Overwatch came out in 2016, super successful, has, I think, I'll say, carried the hero-shooter genre in the last... almost decade, Marvel Rivals came out and Marvel Rivals ate their lunch and was fantastic. And in order to do that to Overwatch, it had to, one, play really well, two, have the Marvel license, right?

But yeah, Marvel Rivals was essentially... Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Marvel Rivals is a weapon that was formed against Overwatch and it prospered. That was a specific way. We have everything we need here.

Like an American shopping mall? That's where they usually do these things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
But I think it's Kojima. Mario. Unless we're talking about characters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
Kojima. I think they might be around equal, but I'd probably, yeah, maybe lean towards Kojima. People are saying half 31.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
I measure this the way I measure everything. If I asked my mom, do you know Kojima? She would say no.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
Went to a party. It was like this thing. It was called Love Affair. It was in Mission. It was like you go in and it's the most hipster thing possible. They have a dance floor on the bottom floor and then like a bunch of vendors selling like thrifted clothes. And then you had a person giving tattoos. It was a crazy party.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
But one of the things I noticed with my friend that was there, we were like, oh, I might be on the older side of like the age group here. Right. I'm 30. It felt like most people there were from the ages of maybe 20 to 25. And the whole time we were talking about it and we were like, we should just ask random people. We should start asking random people how old they are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
See, if I ask Greg Lloyd right now... No, you're thinking of 21 Savage, I think.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
Or like, what the age demographic is. And like, I fought against it. Well, you can't include women in that stuff. Well, that's the thing is, I'm like, I'm like, sorry, I'm not about to go on the dance floor and start asking people how old they are. Yeah, no, that's fucking weird. That's fucking weird. That's weird behavior.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
But I, it took me the whole night to build up the courage to go to one of the vendors to be like, hey, what do you think the demographic is here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
The answer is, they didn't give a good answer. They're like, oh, like 20 to 35. They're like, why are you asking me this?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
Oh, yeah, no, no, no, no. Chance the Rapper. But, like, you probably have heard Chance the Rapper music because he's super popular. But I'm pretty sure I've had this conversation with Greg Miller where I bring up Chance and he has no idea. Well, that has to be expected.

Yeah, I mean, you're not out here reviewing games, though. You know what I mean? They stream the games, and I think they do the eSports. That sounds so old. They do the eSports to make money. So, you know, it's generating revenue. When I play games, I'm generating revenue. And it's not a sport. When you play games. No, no.

I don't know if Gen Z, Gen Alpha definitely doesn't give a fuck about 100 Thieves, right? Gen Z, do they care about 100 Thieves? I feel like Gen Z is our generation. Yeah, no. Gen Z and Gen Alpha, they're watching Kai Sanat. Also, don't, you're not Gen Z. Bless, we are not Gen Z. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Millennials.

Every year, guaranteed. Now, my thing is, this morning, again, as I was listening to the music, right, I had the moment where I was thinking about what you're talking about. The fact that, like, San Francisco doesn't get seasons. Like, there's seasons, but it's not as season-y. It never feels Christmassy, like, in the air. Yeah, that's a really good way to put it.

Story number three. Overwatch 2 is going back to 2016 with the new classic mode. This is Michael McWherter at Polygon. Blizzard is giving players a chance to relive the original version of Overwatch with a new limited time mode for Overwatch 2.

Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
Launching Tuesday, Overwatch classic mode will feature the original 21 heroes and 12 maps, plus all the classic, unbalanced, and chaotic gameplay from Overwatch 1.0, giving Overwatch 2 players new and old a taste of how the game played back in May 2016.

In Overwatch Classic, two teams of six will square off without any kind of role restrictions, and heroes will have their original launch day abilities. It goes on, of course. I think this pretty much explains itself. Gary, I'm all about this. Did you play Overwatch back in the day? Oh, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
I think it is appealing to the players that are tuning in to play and all this. But it's definitely not. the talk of the town that it was. Overwatch 2, I don't think, did for it what it needed to do to make it the hotness again. But I don't think it's suffering. I don't think Overwatch 2 is necessarily hemorrhaging players.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
Gary, I'm similar to you. I did play Overwatch for years. And then maybe by year four or five, I kind of dropped off of it. But in the last year, I've been going back because I have a group of friends that love playing Overwatch and they play every Monday. So I've been going back and playing with them. And honestly, it is kind of the same still. There have been many updates.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
My thing is, I was thinking about the fact that I've never had a New York Christmas, and I don't know why New York comes to mind specifically. I think maybe it's because there's a lot of Christmas movies that take place in New York. Like Elf. Yeah. I mean, Elf might be the example.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
There are new characters. There are new maps and all these things. But it's not so...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
overbearing and like it's not been so like layered on top of that it's a completely different game it's the same game but you're just gonna get like right now there's just more characters more maps more I'm just wondering like the player base is so mature that I'm gonna get every game I get thrown into it's gonna be like hardcore players no you'll be fine
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
It feels like you're still playing people that have the same skill levels back in the day.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
I mean, the same thing happened to me. I think that's a Call of Duty thing. Because for me, I played so much Black Ops 1 and 2 and 3, and took a long break from Call of Duty, tried to come back with Call of Duty Black Ops 6, and yeah, got my ass handed to me. And it was the thing where... I think I had the realization of one. I just don't got it anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
But then also, I had to think about the question of, did I ever have it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
Well, Black Ops 6 has been out. It's been a pretty big game for a lot of people at this company. But if I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I needed to know about, where would I go, Gary? You sprung it on me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

It takes some time. I mean, listen, I still read for most of the transitions I do here. Story number four was going to be a full story, but I have now demoted it. What the fuck is this music? Listen, Nintendo, like I mentioned earlier, they're scary. Did they step in? No, they didn't step in, but we're just getting ahead of it. We made the moves before they could step in.

I mean, here's the thing. I like Stellar Blade, but it's not my favorite game of the year. It's a good action game, but it's very skippable. And so if you're looking for... If you're somebody who's looking for story and narrative and world building, I don't think you're going to get it. You're not going to get that from Stellar Blade. You're getting a really fun action. If you like a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
tough action game if you like any souls likey types of games if you like even like maybe Devil May Cry it's not as fast and fluid as Devil May Cry but it kind of has some of that energy then I could see you digging it okay yeah maybe I'll wait for it to show up on like PS Plus or something PS Plus would be a great way to play it honestly it's a good looking game too I will say that yeah yeah yeah what do you think what's your game of the year right now

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
I'm going to say Astro Bot. Metaphor. I think Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Really? Yeah. It's popular enough. I think popularity goes a long way in Final Fantasy 7. In the media space, people love Final Fantasy 7. I want Rebirth, but I've got to play the first one first. And then after that, I think it becomes a little bit of a toss-up because I could see maybe Helldivers 2 in the conversation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
I could even see Bellatro. I could see Dragon's Dongma 2, honestly. Barry, you popped up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
Dragon's Dogma?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
Bellatro's high on my list, but it's another one where...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
Popularity goes such a long way. Oh, Shadow of the Earth, Tree of Somebody Inside.

Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
yes i think this year first campaign in many years right yeah people are liking the multiplayer omni movement all that honestly i think i can even see in the game awards i think it might be a sleeper pick i could see i could see that coming through and maybe even getting nominated for game of the year i mean and certainly in its category i think it would people keep saying infinite wealth in chat and like i hear you like i know roger loved infinite wealth but like yakuza never gets nominated
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
Right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

In the last however many years that Yakuza has come out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
And I think the thing with Like a Dragon slash Yakuza, if you were going to disagree with me on this one, is that I think they just come out too often. I think if this was a long ass wait for infinite wealth and we didn't have all those side games and didn't have like all these other games that are basically Yakuza. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
I think that maybe it would get a lot more of a, it'll be bolstered up a lot more by the crowd and by press and all this stuff. But because we get, get these games so often, I don't think it feels as special to people and as worthwhile to people when they come out on that, like taking it off the yearly cycle, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
I mean, there's like, man, we're far into the show, so we can't have the full conversation. But there's just a conversation we had as far as I think every year has more and more games coming out.

I believe resolution comes down to literally like 1080 to how many pixels are on the screen. And then quality is how good do those pixels look.

If I wanted all this, I would get a PC. And that was the thing that shocked me. We got the PS5 Pro in for review, right? Greg kept his in the office for some of us to look at if we wanted to mess around with the settings. And so I booted up Horizon, the remaster of Horizon, and went to the settings. And it was still performance versus fidelity. It was like high quality on both.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
It was like pro performance versus pro fidelity. But I was like, why am I still making this? I thought the whole promise of it was to not make this choice.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
I 1000% agree with that.

Like in general, or are you talking about first party stuff?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Venom Voice Actor Passes Away - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.11.24
Well, I think it comes with the benefit of developing for one console, right? Like, they can... Guerrilla can put in all their effort into just making this look the best on PlayStation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
This is just a brick now until this gets fixed. I think also a good thing to point out with it is, one, there was very little communication. They didn't really communicate at all about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
There was one tweet from Ask PlayStation that was basically like, oh, yeah, things are down right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
We're working on it. And that was, I think, six hours into it. And then the next thing we heard was a day later of them being like, okay, it's back. So I think there's that. And then also the unfortunate timing of it being...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
what 6 p.m on a friday and all this and like most of a saturday that's just unfortunate timing of people coming home from work being like man i can't wait to spend the my next my weekend playing xyz game and then not being able to do it i mean in the live chat right over in super chats mitchell felt this uh resubscribe for 13 months in a row and says i was going to play monster hunter with my friends after work and i wasn't able to right

You can't have it. Blessing at EOE. How was your weekend? It was good. It was a good full weekend. You know, yeah, like I had I wanted to, I think, relax somewhat this weekend and like work on playing some games. Sure. But PSN went down, which kind of threw that for a loop because I wanted to play Outer Wilds and then also console gaming. Am I right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Yeah. What are you going to do with your additional five days of service?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
fucking nothing at that point i don't want to i don't want to shoot a corporation bail but like it is one of those things where i'm like man we're so entitled thinking that after 18 hours of being down oh you're gonna give me god of all ragnarok like give me spider-man 2 like yeah five days giving us more service for the people that yeah like i can use my psn that i paid for for 18 hours yeah like give me that time of service it makes sense the way they're doing this but it is just funny to read out loud of like oh yeah you'll get an additional five days because i read that i'm like all right cool i guess
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
understand it yeah it's just bizarre yeah go well i'll just say the one i think one last thing on this is also like the idea of um your own security of passwords information like the lack of communication on this i think put people in a panic because again this can stretch out to so many what if scenarios of all right are my passwords compromised do i need to change things like is my my credit card info is tied to my playstation i i
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
I think the one big misstep they had here is just the lack of communication over the 18 hours. I don't think one tweet is enough to address this when we've seen this happen before and it has led to people having to take precautions when it comes to their personal information. For sure. I think that's the one thing where they could have done a lot better.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Yeah.

Dude, Barrett, when I tell you that this pushed me to the brink of, like, do I throw the PS5 out the window and just go full in on my PC? Do it! Do it! Because, yeah, like, I went home and I was like, oh, man. Because I had a moment at work where I played more Outer Wilds, and I played maybe, like, an hour or two of Outer Wilds on my desk, and I was like, oh, this is starting to click.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

um and okay come on now come on now we can't be introducing new video game friend lore here i was like it's gonna be addison it's gonna be somebody else well it was lillian now it was lillian stevie and i think stevie might have been talking i brought up stevie before y'all know okay okay
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
um but lillian and stevie would talk about how good of a co-op game resistance was and like kept bringing up the fact that oh we gotta play resistance we gotta play resistance and then one day i think i saw it at game spot or sorry game stop um yeah and like the ten dollar section so i bought resistance three and i started playing it at home and i was like uh this doesn't really do much for me
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
I don't know. I think maybe I just needed to play with friends. I don't know why I didn't hit up Lillian and Stevie and be like, yo, come through.

You're not even on the Avowed Review this week to be like, here's the differences between X, Y, and Z. I keep restarting the game because I start it and then I stop and then too much time passes and I'm like, oh, well, if I'm going to pick it back up, I'm going to have to start from the beginning. And so in the true themes of the video game, I keep restarting it over and over again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Yeah, my question, I don't know if Ted gave you more info on this, but do you know what era of Insomniac pitched Resistance for? Like, was this post-Spider-Man or was this, like, right after Resistance 3?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Gotcha. Which, like... I mean, this makes me feel like this game not going through was probably the best decision, because you look at Insomniac now, and they're thriving, right? Like, I think the projects that they went with, assuming this is post-Resistance 3, so I'm looking at them as doing Sunset Overdrive, and then I assume they did the Ratchet and Clank remake in 2016.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
That must have been them, right? Because they just do all the Ratchet games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
And so this is like, maybe honestly, if I'm being genuine about this, my fourth or fifth time picking up Outer Wilds. And now on this singular playthrough, I'm maybe...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
I gotta ask Barrett. Barrett, what is going on out there? There's like a party happening.

Oh, yeah, yuck. But, yeah, no, I mean, this fucking box art is fucking sick. I was going to ask what people's impression of Resistance 3 was, because when I just mentioned earlier that, like, it didn't really hit for me as much, there were people in chat that were like, bad takes blessed, back at it again. And I'm like, is that crazy to say that Resistance 3 didn't work on me?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Because on paper, everything about it is a blessing type of game. And now that I'm far enough into it, I am starting to... Those things are starting to pull me in as far as me being like, okay, I know this about this thing. Let me go over here to research this thing a bit more. Oh, but I remember that this reveal here changes the context of this thing that I was looking at over here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
So now I got to come back. So that stuff has started to click a bit more for me in ways where I'm like, now when I'm not playing Outer Wilds, I am thinking about it. And that is like a very good sign of, oh, okay, this is a game I want to see through. The problem is that I had those moments of, man, I really enjoyed the session today. I want to get back to Outer Wilds.

I'm definitely in a place of – not that I'll believe it when I see it, but more so I guess I need the concept on my TV, the controller in my hands, and actually playing through it to be convinced on what they're doing here. Because I see the money moves of, hey, big IP, Fortnite. Hey, big IP owners, Disney. Let's put our big IPs together and have just an IP –

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
yeah i i i need to see what the concept is i i think not worry because i think there's enough money behind it and i think the thing about ip power is that ip power is enough to at least i think get a baseline number of people in oh there's a disney fortnight happening okay i'll jump in and see what that's about like that's gonna get a baseline amount of people in no matter what i think how good it is is gonna is gonna determine how many of those people stay

Just in the same way that the Guitar Hero Rock Band mode in Fortnite, right? Like, that got us in. Now, did we stay with it? I don't think that many people stayed with it. And, yeah, I'm just very...

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
But yeah, I'm not actually fired up about this. I think this was actually-
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
I think the fascinating part about it this time around versus when it's happened previous times, because you're right. This doesn't happen all the time, at least anymore. There was a time where I feel like around Christmas, PSN would go down because of DDoS attacks year over year. Haters wanted to ruin Christmas for PlayStation gamers for some reason. That's not happened as much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
And of course, I think whenever this happens, people go back to the big one of the 2011 outage that lasted for a while.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
what 30 days greg something like that yeah yeah it's kelly it might have been 28 remember something like that said 28 oh i remember it might have been something like that yeah gotcha yeah like i think the thing that stands out to me when this happens currently is how connected everything is where when this happened during the ps3 23 days according to wikipedia 23 days wow i mean we really stressed that out like at some point i mean it felt like a lifetime yeah i i like i could have said two months and it would have been 24 days according to wikipedia
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
um but yeah like this is one of those ones where it when this happened i guess like during the ps4 era of like it's down during christmas or even during the ps3 era i think there was still a level of games being offline enough to where oh man this sucks i can't play call of duty online i can't play like xyz game online but at the very least like i can still play probably the majority of things that i still own um when this happens in 2025
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
like it was the wake-up call to me of like oh wow i can't play like these games oh wow like these like these single-player games i play are always online like damn uh so i think maybe it sticks out to people a bit more when it happens nowadays which i think would lead to the amount of reddit freakouts that i think me and you saw uh over the weekend when you're like is psn down i'm like oh yeah reddit's freaking out i just kept sending you link and screenshot after screenshot
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
yeah um but ultimately like it's 18 hours i don't think it's the it's the biggest deal but i think it it's the it's the tough thing of it happened once for 23 days so now whenever it happens it's that scary thing of oh no is it the one it's like when a big earthquake happens in san francisco and like people are like now when everything's shake people are like all right is it is everything going down now like are the buildings in the top like what's gonna happen here

That's funny because I was like, man, that seems like such a good Christmas present. Crazy that you didn't wait till Christmas.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
And that's why, like, I look back at the preview and I'm like, man, what a tough preview because this is a game that I'm... Like, this is a game that I don't think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
previews well in the kind of game that it is especially in the way that they did it because again they did the Vatican which is more linear which I liked and it's funny to talk about the Vatican being linear but like then they put us in the Egypt level which is way more open and being in that level without having like all the ramp up to it right like I think you then miss out on the build up they have in some of the areas before you get there that I think prep you for alright this is what the game is and what the game is is
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Open levels, you are being Indiana Jones. You are, you know, looking for a treasure. You're looking for relics, these artifacts. You are in open areas and essentially are doing these side missions where you're sneaking around. And, like, this is a stealthy-ass video game, right? You are sneaking into places, stealing things, being caught by a goon, and then getting into fisticuffs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
For you for being like, no, I'm thinking about me. I'm putting me first.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Or, like, pushing them off a cliff, which is what I'm doing all the time. Or, like, picking up a bottle... Throwing it, right? Like, seeing them go a place and then trying to sneak around. It is so stealth game in nature to the point of almost feeling a bit old school in its design. Yeah. You know, I didn't listen to the kind of funny review of it just because I've not gone around to it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
And, like, I'm sure that many of the things that Paris and Greg say about it, I probably echo in terms of the things that I think this game does that might be a bit unintuitive or might be a bit, like, not as... refined to be, like, engaging to the average player. Like, there's a lot of stuff that feels like a... Oh, man, yeah, there is... what's the word I'm looking for? I guess barriers, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
There are things here that feel a bit, oh man, you have to be into it. But I think once you surrender yourself to this game a bit, the magic starts to happen where you come across a side quest and it is, oh yeah, you're going to go chase after this thing. Oh, I'm in like this old tomb. I'm going to chase down. Oh, I'm going to, let me open up this door by like pushing a lever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Oh, now I'm in front of a trial. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
that i have to do and now i am really doing indiana jones shit of using my whip to like you know hit a hit a lever or using my whip to like swing across the thing and then i gotta figure out what the three like fucking mirrors i need to point at the thing are to then solve the puzzle it feels so genuine in the way of like you're like you are indiana it's hard to explain it without that barrett i know you've been playing it as well too
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
at troy baker honestly when he was in the intro section which i won't spoil i mean you probably have seen it everywhere but like it's it's mirroring one of the movies right and i'm like and he said something in one of the parts i was like oh that sounds i was like oh it's just the movie like that's how it is yeah and that's the thing is like you know i'm here like man i feel like harrison ford could get more to the role and i'm like wait a second this is troy baker yeah this is troy baker incredible yeah and it's so funny because he nails harrison ford so well to the point where i'm like damn like this really is fucking indiana jones right here um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Yeah, if I was to give it... I'm about 11, 12 hours in. I'm still in the Egypt area, so I don't know how far that is in the game. I don't think it's that far, but I'm also around an 8 if I had to give it a score.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
by the way. There are certain places where I'm like, oh man, as soon as I alert anybody, like if everybody gets alerted, immediately pause, restart from checkpoint because either that or I'm going to get into a chase, which I have done a few times. And I think that's part of the, one of the reasons why I actually really do like this game is
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I think the genre that it is and the approach that is taken is so genuine to Indiana Jones. Like, for me, for an adaptation, this feels like one of the most genuine adaptations that you can have. Because it really is, like, the things that make this game great are the same things that make Indiana Jones great, right? To echo what Barry mentioned before about what we were texting about. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I think if this was the Indiana Jones, I could see plenty of parts where I'm like, oh, this is kind of dry, this is kind of whatever. The Indiana Jones energy and comedy and just the style of, oh man, I might alert somebody, but I'll get into fisticuffs and run away, and it's in tone with what this world is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Or I'll push somebody, like I'm on the top floor of a building, and I'll push a guard off the building, and then hear from the first floor, oh, he's down! And like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
it fits because that is what that was that that is what would happen in an indiana jones movie yeah the fact that i can like get in these comical situations i can break a guitar over somebody's head yeah and get away in front of people like his disguise like it doesn't matter like it's all there's so much goofy stealth shit that happens in this game that feels so aligned with what indiana jones is like as a comedy like what for its comedy aspects of it
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
But for me, it works. Because this goes back to surrendering yourself to it a little bit, which might sound like a cop-out, but legitimately it might be. I think the side stuff for me is what I care about more. I don't really care about the Great Circle that much. For me, it is just a MacGuffin.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
For me, it is just what the main thing is to carry the story forward, like in any other Indiana Jones thing. For me, what I care about more so is just being in the areas and kind of, like, learning what the areas are. And that's one thing I want to compliment. Like, if I can give one of my biggest compliments to this game, it is the level design. Especially when you get to the open areas.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Aside from, like, the Egypt open area we can talk about, because there are moments of great level design there, but... There's also parts of that that I don't like. Being in the Vatican, and knowing that I have to go here, and being in that world for a while, because I spent maybe like 10 hours in the Vatican.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Being in there for a while, and being to the point where I'm like, oh, I know where that's at. Oh, I've been there before. Oh, I gotta go back here. Oh, I just take a left here, and I'll... I ended up in this place. I think one of the things about this style of game, Immersive Sims, or whatever you want to call it, I guess open area design, is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
The way you kind of level up in this game is by just gaining knowledge of the area. It is by being like... Also picking up books. And picking up books. But it really is like, oh, I got to get to this place. Well, I know that if I go here, I can climb up this thing and then go through this window. And I've stealthed around here enough to know that there's going to be a guard here and here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
So I'm just going to go this way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
That's my shit, right? That is where this game clicks for me. I had a mission yesterday where I had to find a relic, and I was in basically a restricted area that I was not supposed to be in, and I am in a three-story building, and I keep looking around, and I'm like, where is this thing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
And there are three guards in this other big room, and I'm like, I gotta take out these guards because I think the thing I need is in this locked room, so one of these guards is gonna have a fucking key. And
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
torso area i was hurting it but like that means i was doing good right so i was i was playing that uh also a little snow it's a little bit of snow just a nice dude i miss the snow so a little bit i've been in the christmas spirit this year i've been i'm in the anti-christmas spirit no i'm like becoming a grinch now i don't know why i don't know what's happening i mean one of the songs so i've been working on a christmas playlist uh this morning it's called a very baller christmas where i look for the christmas bops of the modern age i love that i got the chance to rapper songs you got the you got the song
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
for maybe about 20 minutes i am taking out these guards systematically i am waiting for bananas in the corner it really is like i have like a fucking broom and i'm waiting for one to walk up and i like like one of them is upstairs and he's alone so i like walk up behind him hit him on the head with a broom and then he falls over the rail down to the first floor and i'm like oh shit like i hope nobody sees him and thank god nobody sees him yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
But I'm like, fuck, now I got to take out the other two guys before they walk over and see this guy. And I do it and I look around. No key. And I'm like, fuck, where's the key? And I just cannot find this key to save my life. And I'm like, there must be another way to get into this room. And I go outside.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I look around and I see like a little thing where I can like attach my whip to so I can swing around and get into a window. And that is my shit. That is some fucking good-ass level design. The fact that if I wanted to, I really could just search for this key. I could knock out every single guard until I find it. Or I can really look around, because there is going to be a second option.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
There is going to be maybe a third option to get into that room. For me, that's good-ass level design, and that's part of what makes these types of games great. The one thing I will say, I think, on the immersive sim aspect of it, and why I don't know if I would say this is a full immersive sim, and why maybe this is a thing that brings it down a bit, is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
immersive sims are all about systems and i think the fun things about them the fun thing about them a lot of the times is they give you these abilities or powers or whatever to really fuck around with those systems and when i think of dishonored right you have like the blink you have you can troll people you can do all this shit when i think of deus ex you have all these different things that you can do to really manipulate the systems indiana jones is just a dude and the abilities that i'm getting are like hey here's more health here's more stamina you can pull your whip harder
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Yeah, like, it's tough to make the abilities you already have a little bit stronger, but it's not like you are building toward a, you know, a version of your character that... can operate in a unique way in this world. And I think that's kind of one of the things that is missing, but I also don't know how they would do it. At the end of the day, you're still Indiana Jones.

A year after LEGO Fortnite launched in a new era inside of the game, one based on the idea that Fortnite is a collection of many game experiences rather than just one battle royale, LEGO is expanding its presence with a new title that sounds reminiscent of Grand Theft Auto V role-playing, as well as a rebrand of its core survival game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
First up is a game called Brick Life, which is billed as an all-new social role-play experience. Sounds like a Pusha T album. Brick Life. It really does. Players explore a Lego-fied city location with 31 other people and take on specific jobs like career, security guard... or Sushi Chef.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Players can design their own homes and explore locations like a magical school and rooftop club, and there are missions to take on as well. From the sounds of it, Brick Life is a more family-friendly take on the enduring popularity of role-playing servers in GTA V, and Epic isn't being all that subtle about the connection.

Brick Life is launching inside of Fortnite on December 12th, though it won't be available for players in South Korea. As part of the announcement, LEGO Fortnite, the Minecraft-style survival experience that launched last December, is being renamed LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. From now on, LEGO Fortnite will be the name of the hub inside of Fortnite that houses all of the LEGO experiences.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
epic and lego have been steadily expanding their partnership over the last year launching new games and also letting fortnite players build their own lego games man this is really interesting i mean it makes a lot of sense i mean i that's cool i don't know is that official yeah this is official the reason why i linked this bear is actually for the tweet right because they weren't subtle about the connection they say ah bricks here we go again which is the seat gta san andreas reference yeah like i'd say the entry is of um oh shit here we go again

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Yeah. You know, like, I think, you know, they came into the Battle Royale world, and they fucking knocked it out the park. And they're trying to do these other things. I think my other thing with it, too, is I think there's not really a... as big of a space yet for GTA-style games for kids. Yeah. I mean, Roblox. That's what that is. Sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
But Roblox, I almost compare more to a game engine, almost. I know kids go in there, and I'm sure there are GTA games that are in Roblox. There's a lot of role-playing. But for me, this is more specific. This is more, hey, you are essentially driving around, probably. I guess they don't know if they say driving around, but I imagine you're driving around as a sushi chef.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
career you're like you know you're hanging out in the city like you're having that GTA online experience but in a way that is more suitable for kids and for me that isn't going after something that's already been like done in a way where like that is a major slice of the pie for me that is something that's a bit more no there's a space to do that and I think that I think that could exist yeah but I think you're right as far as when you talk about the greater picture like yeah like they go after shit that's been done like the Among Us thing I think was a little bit slimy but I don't know I think it's
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I think it's situational. The last time I can think of something like this is LEGO City Undercover. Which is kind of wild that LEGO City Undercover came out as a launch title for the Wii U and it came and went and now somehow that idea has re-emerged.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I gotta watch this. Um, I forget what I was driving to. Oh, I was making a playlist this morning cause I'm in the Christmas spirit. And when I, when I tell you that like, well, The only thing missing from Christmas for me right now is the snow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I mean, I think no matter what, because when you talk about like a Tarkov style thing, no matter what, because it's Fortnite and because I guess now it's Lego. Also, it's going to be geared towards kids. And I think there's a fascinating business like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
there's like a targeted thing you can do there as far as the ideas that you know are making it big right now in the video game world whether it be survival which I guess you already done with like Odyssey or it be like yeah or it be like a Tarkov style thing or it be whatever it is yeah the counter strike thing counter strike like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Fortnite, I think, is going to go after all of those, but make the children version of it. And I think, for the most part, most of them aren't going to hit. And I don't know if they know that. But, like, so far, it feels like that stuff has been kind of shaky. I know LEGO Fortnite had a lot of players. And we'll see. Or Odyssey.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
This can be a chat or this can be a you're kind of funny.com says you're wrong. Right now, what's the vibe on LEGO Fortnite? Is that still hitting the big? Is that still getting crazy numbers?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Yeah, they're trying to revitalize it. Rocket Racing came and went. The whole rock band guitar hero mode.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
You're right as far as the greater conversation of it. I think, I am fascinated by where this goes because I almost think the opposite as far as Fortnite is a little bit too big to ultimately fail. I think they can have a lot of failures within Fortnite. But I think what they're chasing after with this is like, hey, we have Fortnite and we have access to a bunch of IPs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
And it's been like eight years, nine years, I guess. Yeah, like nine years since I lived in Illinois. And I miss the snow so much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
How do we, what are the decisions we make to like try and take advantage of this as much as possible? And so you have the collaboration with Lego. You have a collaboration with Disney where there's going to be a whole bunch of Disney shit. But for me, it's almost, it's almost like our conversation with like the metaverse and all that shit, except it's Epic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
And so Epic actually has the means to make a lot, a lot of their own dreams come true. But I don't know if those dreams are going, are going to hit to your point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
And I like, but I think they're going to happen. Like, that's the thing is I think a lot of this is we're going to see this shit through and then hopefully enough of it hits to where it's good enough for them. Yeah, exactly. They're looking for that one big hit. Oh shit. Oh God. He's back. Great. He was right. Oh, shit. He was great. Yep. Hell yeah. Oh, I gotta get one of those. See?

New York bagels. No, I'm good. I already had breakfast. Double breakfast. And I brought lunch today. Double breakfast. And I never bring lunch. Greg said he already had a bagel. Let's move on to story number three. Former God of War art director joins Naughty Dog. This is Tom Ivan at Video Games Chronicle.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Former Sony Santa Monica Studio art director, Raph Grassetti, has joined the last list maker, Naughty Dog. Grassetti served as a principal art director on 2018's God of War and as art director on God of War Ragnarok during a 10-year spell at Santa Monica Studio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
He left Sony last year to lead the art department of a now-defunct Netflix studio, where he was working alongside the likes of ex-Overwatch executive producer Choco Sonny and Halo veteran Joseph Statton on an original multi-platform AAA game until its recent closure. In a Twitter post on Monday, Grissetti confirmed he's returned to Sony to start a new chapter at Naughty Dog.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I'm a big fan of Roth's work. Me too. He posts stuff on Twitter all the time. Right now, Barrett has opened his art station where he posts a lot of his work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Obviously, like, you can tell, you can see the God of War, like, you can tell this guy's the director, the art director of God of War. Jesus, that's so sick. He takes a lot of IP and, like, puts his own, like, kind of semi-realistic slash, like, kind of fantasy-driven style to it. And so, like, right now we're looking at some Spider-Man designs that are super detailed and look really cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Congratulations to Roth. Yeah. This is fucking awesome. My thing with this is, does this tell us anything about what Naughty Dog is doing? I don't think so. Yeah. And you're right. But like, what if it's Kratos again? No, I mean, but like, what if they are going for an art style that is a bit more on that side of things, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Like all, all the stuff he makes seems to have like this gritty kind of like muscular.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Yeah. No, I can't wait to see what he does over there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
When is the release date?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
That's what I'm very fascinated about. This should be a conversation for Gamescast after this because I think we're going to have a Game Awards that has a lot of developers not saying when their game is coming out because they're waiting for GTA to put out their release date before they actually say out loud that we're going to release in fall or whatever it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
um i think you're gonna get release dates or or at least release windows for this game specifically these games specifically because they are 2k but also that might be fun if we do because that means that we can go backwards or we could be like you're like you're like all right cool mafia is coming out in spring all right and then it's late it's coming out in fall oh that means summer for you yeah exactly you need to play them games let's freaking summer 2026 yeah i like the way you think roger thanks man uh roger
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24

Michelle Ansell claims Beyond Good and Evil 2 development hindered by problems between managers. Now, I do recommend people go read this story. It's very fascinating because it is Michelle and Sel kind of putting it out there as far as like, yo, I had a lot of disagreements.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24

And speaking of that, there was a part two to this, which is also from Chris Colian at Video Games Chronicle, which is about Ubisoft's handling of PlayStation exclusive Wild.

Indeed, I think we knew that, but I think this is like the first like actual, hey, Wild is canceled.

Wild was like, I feel like that was like, not the talk of the town. But it would be the one that people would bring up all the time of, where is this? And then we just got tired of asking, where is it? No one cares. Well, never mind. A lot of people, most people in chat at the same time just said, what is wild? I'm thinking about BC. You guys probably remember BC. BC? I do not know what BC is.

don't like that shit like here's the thing because i feel i'm with you but it made it more it made the experience for me more engaging because i would get to the next puzzle and i'd be like oh what the fuck is this guy's name edmund cloudsley like who the fuck is edmund cloudsley that looks like him i think but i can't remember if that's his name or if he's sebastian yeah weird old-timey names yeah that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
For me, it makes the puzzles harder. Did you finish that one? You finished Case? I finished Case. Loved Case. I'm halfway through Rise. I fell off of it because I think I was just over Golden Idol.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
But I want to get back to it. The thing is, I think I do like Case better than Rise. Rise is fucking fantastic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Yeah, Case doesn't do that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I remember, and that's what I love. Because Rise, I think, does a good job of being like, hey, you have to put together the recap of everything that just happened. And as you're going, you can kind of keep up. Whereas Case, there are certain things I missed until the last mission where I was like, wait a second. Is this person this person?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I told Barrett, and Barrett's like, you didn't know that that person ended up being that person? What? And I'm like, no, because the game doesn't spoon-feed it to you whatsoever.

We're going to talk about something this episode, and that is environmental storytelling. Mm-hmm. Because I think Rise and Case are both really great examples of environmental storytelling where the jail cell puzzle that you're talking about was one of those ones where I'm looking around and I'm like, all right, what in the world is this thing? And I look and everything means something. Yes.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Played a bunch of Indiana Jones because I saw when the embargo went up. I should preface this by saying the review we did went up on, I think, Thursday. I got a cold on Thursday. I stayed home Friday, and I was like, fuck it. Let me play some Indiana Jones. But after the embargo. Did you stay home to play Indiana Jones? No, I stayed home because I was sick and because I wasn't doing much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I prepped KFGD, and I put up a kind of Feudy thing, and I was doing some things. But then I spent the rest of my free time just playing Indiana Jones. Because I had saw tweets from the review period of people like Daniel Dwyer being like, oh man, this game has shades of the Forgotten City and Hitman and Dishonored.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Literally every single British person in the games industry was talking up this game. I don't...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Every European person in the games industry. Sorry, I'm thinking of Lucy. I don't think they like to be quantified as British. No, I was thinking of Lucy. I was including Danny O'Dwyer in the British conversation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I was jumping towards Lucy and Timur and fucking Simon Carty, who were like, oh man, this Indiana Jones game is great. But it was what they were comparing it to that really caught my attention because I was like, oh, man, I really do like a stealth game. I do like an immersive sim style game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I don't know if I would quantify Indiana Jones as full immersive sim, but it has qualities of an immersive sim. We'll get into that in a second.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Well, here's the thing. I was on Indiana Jones in review a few years ago where I watched all the Indiana Jones movies, and I liked them all. I liked all the good ones. And so I did the preview about a month or so ago, and I came out of the preview pretty cold on it. I had mentioned that for that preview, they gave us a section in the Vatican to do, and they also gave us a section in Egypt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
The Vatican section I actually liked a lot, but the Egypt section I didn't like at all. In your preview? In my preview. Gotcha. Um, and I came out of it being like, I don't know if this is a game I, I need to play. Like this might be a skip for me. I see what the, I see where they're going for, uh, going with it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I see that it's like this stealthy immersive sim ish kind of experience, but I don't know if they're doing all the right things with it to like really pull me in. Um, And so the review period comes through for us. They only give, I think, Greg access to it and Paris access to it. And so they're the two people on the review.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
After seeing what people were saying about it on Thursday, I was like, I got to boot this thing up. I got to see what it's about because everything that people are saying about it makes it seem like a game that I would really fall in love with. And played it on Friday.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24

It feels the same. Okay. Yeah, like slightly bigger, but even like in the ways that like the Switch 2 or the Switch 1 Joy-Con analog stick were even like kind of short, right? Like it feels like a Joy-Con analog stick. Like most of the thing, like most of the button feel and most of like, I guess even the holding it right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It all feels like Joy-Con ones, except for the fact that like, yeah, it is like a little bigger.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah, well, I want to bring in a couple more Super Chats for you. Jursten7 writes in and says, never had the stick drift issue with my Joy-Cons. Then again, I never use those tiny things. I didn't either, because I use a Pro Controller almost all the time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Were they generic or were they Nintendo joysticks?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah, one more from Dante the Cleric who writes in and says, Hall effect sticks use magnetic tech. Could the strong magnets in the Joy-Con 2 controllers mess with the hall effect sticks? Possibly. Again, I think there are so many factors here that are at play that we just don't know because it is conversations that I'm sure Nintendo has.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I want to hop into the next news story. Story number two, unreleased Nintendo games allegedly leak online, including Ridge Racer and Retro Studios prototype. This is Jordan Midler at Video Games Chronicle. Prototype builds for several canceled games, including a Nintendo Switch Ridge Racer title, Lego Civilization, and an unannounced game from Retro Studios have allegedly appeared online.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Footage of the cancelled Ridge Racer game, which is allegedly from a build from 2017, is currently circulating on social media. The game was reportedly developed by Bandai Namco Studios Singapore and was intended for the Nintendo Switch. The game was never announced and has presumably been long since cancelled.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Further development footage of a game prototype developed by Retro Studios titled Harmony has also appeared online. The footage shows a third-person perspective of a fairy character that can transform into different characters to solve puzzles. The build is claimed to be from 2017. However, the game itself was never announced by Retro.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
The unannounced game had previously been referenced by Reese Kiwi Talks Riley, a content creator who has interviewed several former Retro Studios employees. Earlier this year, Riley mentioned on Reset Era that he'd been told the project was a huge disaster and that the game was canceled after years of going nowhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It is believed that this footage has been obtained via a Nintendo Switch development kit that was sold online. Dev kits are provided to developers by platform holders and are often heavily modified versions of retail consoles that can run in-development builds.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
These kits can often retain information and playable builds for games long after they are cancelled, and thus it is against the terms of service with platform holders that provided the dev kit to sell them on. A build of the unreleased game is now said to be circulating online, with many reporting that it is playable, though in a very basic state with temporary assets and environments.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
A menu screen for LEGO Civilization, which, as it sounds, appears to be a LEGO take on the classic strategy game, was also found on the dev kit. Those with access to these files claim they have attempted to run the LEGO Civilization title, but have reported that it will instantly crash when attempting to play it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Dev builds of both Splatoon 2, ARMS, and Rime are also said to have been found on the dev kit. Gary, a lot here, but to whittle it down, games have leaked, right? Dev kit builds of games have leaked. These games are Ridge Racer, LEGO Civilization, and a game from Retro Studios. How do you feel about that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I mean, presumably you would think that they've been canceled because these seem to be old builds, but I don't think there's no confirmation. So we technically, we do not know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
lego civilization was the first time i perked up that sounds cool that sounds really interesting what's going on there that sounds like a fun a fun mashup i mean that could be like you know babies for a civilization in the way that like i look at civilization i'm like i don't know anything i hear people talk about how they played as gandhi and took over the world right i'm like i don't know what any of this you know they're intense games like you got to really dig in and and learn the systems and they're you know they're not for anybody
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Literally, when I hear people talk about civilization, it's always a random world figure and they took over the world somehow. I'm like, that's cool. I want to try that out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It's the thing of there's good news and bad news, right? I was just telling you right before the show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
But yeah, I'm with you that leaks always suck. Something like this where these, again, presumably are all canceled things. I'm interested from a... what's going on here kind of perspective, right? To get a little bit of an inside look as to, okay, Retro's working on Metroid Prime 4, right? That's about to come out this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
But there was a stretch of time where we did not know what Retro was up to. Seemingly, this project that was leaked here is it, Harmony, right? It is like this 3D platformer you're riding on different animals sort of thing. I saw the clips floating around online. I don't want to bring them up on this show because I don't want Nintendo to come after us, right? But like, I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It's all interesting stuff, but also, like, cool. Like, we kind of take this information and move on with it. I think, honestly, the thing that stands out to me here the most is the Lego civilization thing, which sounds cool. I wonder if you see anything from that in the future. Right. Moving on to story number three, Gary. Switch 2 won't have achievements, Nintendo confirms.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Right before the show, I was telling you about how I was at the event last week in New York and... For people that were at the event, it was tough to look online and see the details coming out as they were coming out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
This is Jordan Middler at Video Games Chronicle. Switch 2 won't have a system-wide achievement system, Nintendo has confirmed. Nintendo fully revealed the Switch 2 last week, including information about the system's UI, the new game chat feature, and more. However, one feature that fans were hoping for more information on was the potential inclusion of an achievement system.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
When asked by Polygon if the new system will break from Nintendo tradition and introduce system-wide rewards for playing games, Nintendo's vice president of player and product experience, Bill Trennan, said, quote, nope, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
While the system won't have console-wide achievements, two Nintendo Switch 2 edition games will have their own achievement list, though they will be relegated to a mobile app. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild will both get Switch 2 editions, as well as a new app, Zelda Notes, which will be part of the Nintendo app. Gary, a Nintendo achievement system not appearing on Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
How do you feel about that? Are you an achievement person?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yes, as we're hands-on with the thing. So I'm playing the Nintendo Switch 2, and honestly, at the event, I'm having the time of my life. I'm like, man, this slate of games looks great. Man, I love playing on the Nintendo Switch 2 handheld. I think it feels better. I like the bigger screen. I was telling you that I think the LCD screen looks great. Yeah, because that was my thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25

To be fair, Greg's healed now. I don't think he's done that in years. At least he's not talked about it. Oh, I think he has. You think he's doing it on the low?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It was the thing. What was the game? Was it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
There was that. There was the mayonnaise game. Wasn't there like a Mr. Mayonnaise or My Name is Mayo or something? My Name is Mayo. My Name is Mayo.

Was the game called ZJ's Balls? ZJ the Ball. ZJ the Ball. ZJ's Balls. ZJ the Ball, which was like a Christian series of games that they just put out. And there were so many of them.

And I think this was where me and Janet were like, what the fuck are you doing with your life? Was it a Flappy Bird type of game? Not even. Actually, I forget exactly what the gameplay was.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
This is where I stand, is that not every game needs achievements. I think some games could use them in the way that we're talking about. When they're designed around it, a game like Spider-Man, for example, Spider-Man is so good about its achievements.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Right. And how is that good for games? And that's my thing with Nintendo is that I think Nintendo games, quite a few of them, I think could benefit from it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I think Mario games typically I think are good contenders for it. But at the same time, Nintendo is so much about play and so much about like your own experience. Here's the thing. You don't need achievements to come through and be like, okay, now I have this additional thing to chase. Here's the thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And you will still get your OLED screen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Exactly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And I 1,000% agree with you. But again, this comes back to the thing where I think some games could use achievement systems more than others. Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom, and Breath of the Wild are getting them through the Nintendo app. And I think that's cool because I can see... That's kind of sideloaded into the experience, right? That's not actually in the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It's a bit sideloaded, but also that's a decision that they made. For some reason, they looked at Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom specifically and went, oh, we can add some kind of achievement thing here. My one...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
It's not even a problem, but I guess my one thing to elevate it would be the thing that I do like about PlayStation and Xbox achievement systems is that there's more of a social thing around them where I can go to my friend's profile and see all the achievements they've gotten. I can see on whatever feed that I'm looking at that, oh, my friend just earned this achievement.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
My friend just earned this trophy. I'll love that for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
This is the reason why I say it is like Nintendo is pushing social features really hard with Nintendo Switch 2. They introduce game chat. They have a fucking camera that you can buy that I'm sure people aren't going to use in various ways.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
um it i mean it feels like a better switch right you know i think the big thing me and tim kind of talked about this and like tim helped me kind of confirm why i thought this way of it feels like a more premium switch and i think tim helped settle it in a way of oh it's the joy cons right it's that is those magnets the joy cons are so strapped into that that that that click on thing so what yeah is it like when it clicks on do you get a little oh yeah a little bit
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And that's even before you get into Uno. There's going to be a different kind of jamboree going on, Gary. But here's the thing, right? is that Nintendo was pushing the social features really hard. And I don't think that stuff is going to be as, I guess, elevated by the audience as it could be without something like a passive achievement system. I think you need passive social features.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
You need a feed. You need something to where I am looking at my friends list and going, oh, I have a reason to add you even though I'm not gonna play this game with you. I just want to add you so I can see what you're playing or I can see what you're doing or I can see this thing that you shared, whether it be a screenshot or a video or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
If you're going fully on with social features, I think you need a social feed as well. And I think that includes achievements for certain games, not all games. But for certain games. I heard some of what you just said, but not all of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
There's a mini game in Mario Party Jamboree that I got to play at the event that's basically like, it's your camera, right? It's pointing at you. And Bowser's like, all right, move as much as you can. Like, the more movement and noise you're making, the higher the meter goes. Right. Could you imagine, like, you look to the screen and there's somebody just helicoptering?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And it's like, oh, that's how you win? Helicoptering? Yeah. Fucking hell. That's what's gonna happen. Like, we're lucky that Nintendo's not bundling in this camera with every single fucking thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah. Sorry, what were you going to say?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Oh, I see what you're saying. You know? Yeah, honestly, you're probably right. It's not going to be random matchmaking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

uh let's move on to story number four another nintendo news story welcome tour costs ten dollars this is wesley yinpool at ign ign can now confirm that that nintendo switch to welcome tour costs 9.99 and is a digital only product that's significantly cheaper than other switch to games but ign has already reported uh to the complaints from some nintendo fans that welcome tour costs money at all
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
with many saying it should be a Switch 2 pack-in, as DualSense tech demo game Astro's Playroom was for PS5.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
IGN interviewed Nintendo of America's Vice President of Product and Player Experience, Bill Trennan, at a recent Switch 2 preview event in New York, and asked him if Nintendo discussed making Welcome Tour a pack-in game, and why the company made the decision to price it as a separate digital product.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
We need to point out here that our interview with Trennan was conducted on April 3rd prior to Nintendo's announcement about delaying the Switch 3 pre-orders in the U.S. due to the potential impact of tariffs and subsequent concern that Nintendo may raise the price of the console and its games further as a result.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Trident said there's more to Welcome Tour than it appears based on the showing during the Nintendo Direct and even during recent hands-on opportunities the media had access to. Based on what's actually in the game, Nintendo decided $9.99 is, quote, is not an exorbitant price, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah, I do get a little like, oh, that's satisfying. I don't like the part that's not satisfying is clicking them off because they kind of just plop off. Right. Like you press a button and then the magnet. Right. You don't get that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah, exactly. And so like when it plops off, I'm like, OK, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah. I mean, I agree with everything you guys are saying. My only doubles advocate thing is that, like... How many of us were going to play this thing anyway? This is one of those ones where I think, again, this is actually to your point more so that you probably would have had way more people actually booting this up and checking it out if you just packed it in. For $10...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Like, nobody's playing this, dude. Like, nobody's checking this thing out. And, like, I think even if you packed it in, like, I don't think there's a high percentage of people that are putting this up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I don't know how many. You're proving them right. I don't know how many people are going to buy this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
No, you're not. I will. No, you're not. Because Nintendo's very stingy with codes. They are, but who are you going to get a code from? Because it's not going to be us.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Oh, you have a dealer. He's got a Nintendo guy. You got a Nintendo guy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I was going to say, because I don't even think I'm getting a code for it. Like, we'll see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
but just by making it longer like what the fuck is that it's weird I'll get a card here's the thing also and again this isn't I don't want to shoot Nintendo bail here but it's more so my perception my perception of how they view it the trending quote of him saying there's more to walk on tour than it appears based on the showing from the direct and press hands on like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I'm somebody who liked Wii Play a lot on the Nintendo Wii, and I forget, I think you get that with the controller. I think that wasn't even, like, a paid thing. I think that's, like, if you, maybe it was the other way around, where if you buy it, you get a controller.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I digress. There could be a lot of depth here and a lot of minigames and shit to, like, really, like, drive it home. Even still, on a strategy level, you should pack this in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah, you should have shown more. If there really is that much more to this, you should have shown more. And maybe they will.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I would rather spend the two months just flipping the Switch to make it free. You also don't title it Welcome Tour. No, you don't. You title it something else.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Do you think there's somebody at Nintendo that was like, all right, it's a game that you're inside the Switch 2. We'll call it Inside. And then they started looking up copyright, and they're like, fuck, there's already Inside. All right, we'll call it Walking Door. They could have.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
what do you think because again this is not how you market this thing if there truly is more to it than what we're seeing I like the the Mario Brothers like 4k thing I think is really cool and I saw I rewatched the switch to direct yesterday and like there's many games and stuff that I'm like all right cool like this all reminds me of we play but we play also came with a controller so right let me buy this with a controller or something I don't know it's it's look it's dumb call it switch world says Sam G

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Actually, before we even get into story number five, we got some super chats. Let's get into these. MelodicQuest writes in and says, remember when we got Wii Sports as a pack-in? Yeah. I want to, I'm very fuzzy on my history, but I feel like Reggie Fils-Aimé was the one that was like making a lot of moves to pack these things in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
But I think when you're talking about like the last like decade and a half of Nintendo, I think maybe there's not somebody there that is like being like, no, like we cannot charge this. Like we need to pack this thing in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah. Granted, I don't think Welcome Tour is going to be the reason why the Switch 2 is going to explode, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
You should literally open up your Switch box and there be a little paper guide, the manual for your Switch 2, and in there just a code for Welcome Tour.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah, I was going to say, I don't like that at all. Don't be like that in our chat. Fuck you even more than Nintendo. Yeah. So my first name writes in and says, Nintendo, quote, to take the sting out of the price increase to $700, we're going to give you a welcome tour for free, end quote. Could you imagine? Give me a Donkey Kong Bonanza for free.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Pack that in there if you're going to charge $700 for this thing. El Capitan 22 writes in and says, Nintendo themselves said in a report from The Verge that the original price for Switch 2 had nothing to do with tariffs. which I don't think we talked about that yet. It didn't.

I want to issue an apology to one Tim Geddes, who's right very often, where I think I had a back and forth on the show with Tim. Tim was talking about how video game movies are essentially like the next MCU, right? The next Marvel, next superhero movie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And like, I kind of looked at that a bit skeptically just because I think there is something to be said about there being a universe that is controlled by Marvel and all that shit and how that works together. But... I mean, the numbers keep speaking for these video game things, right? I keep looking at all these adaptations getting greenlit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And of course, so many of these adaptations are going to fail because they greenlit... It feels like they greenlight a movie a week. A video game movie a week is what it feels like. A lot of these aren't going to do well, but I think... like I think I am discounting the amount of them that are going to actually do amazing.

The fact that Minecraft is out here, even lapping Mario, Mario movie, right?

Like I think for the time being for right now, we got a pretty good future ahead of us as far as what the market for video game moves are going to be. That's going to tap out at some point.

Very much looking forward to this. Remember, we're an 11-person business all about live talk shows.

Yeah. Okay. It's a game showdown thing. Basically, Greg won stars in the bank at the beginning of the year. He can cash in his briefcase to steal one of Tim's stars. And he keeps saying three. I never confirmed three. But everybody wants it to be three. But I said one. Okay. But yeah, he's torturing Tim over it. Got it. The farewell to Tim stars. But people think now that it's a farewell to Tim.

Bungie is finally ready to show us more of its upcoming PvP extraction shooter marathon with an all new gameplay live stream slated for this Saturday, April 12th. Last week, the developer dropped a mysterious tweet that included a bizarre 15-second video that immediately set fans sleuthing as part of an extensive alternative reality game.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Players realized that within the ASCII art was a snippet of footage from the initial trailer, and if they looked closely, they noticed it's the runner sprinting down a hall from the trailer. Um... Right now, Barrett has brought up the video of the trailer they released yesterday for the Save the Date for the actual livestream. I'm looking forward to this. I really like the look of it.

Man, that looks fucking great. I'm sad that they're doing this on Saturday because I would have loved to come into work and talk about this or react to it or whatever. But I'm sure we're going to have a lot to say next Monday after the trailer comes out. Also, did I miss the studio? Did you make a reference to the studio? I did. Yeah, you missed it at the time. I've seen it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25

Where, yeah, like it, y'all gotta, y'all gotta go watch the studio.

A lot of people are going to check out the studio. But Gary, if I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I needed to know about, where would I go?

And then finally from Noble, Ubisoft is reportedly working on a turn-based tactics game in the Rainbow Six universe. According to Insider Gaming sources, the game is likely one or two years away from release. End quote. Just watch some XCOM gameplay if you want to get an idea. End quote. So cool. An XCOM Rainbow Six game is what they're working on over there.

Yeah, I think so. And that is it for Wii News. Before we get out of here, let me take one more look at the Super Chats. StreetShadow writes in and says, Gary, there are PvE elements from what I have heard. Oh, good. Lots of secrets and things to discover in the map, so the game is likely more PvP plus PvE combined. I believe we call that PvPvE. That's correct, yes.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I'm saving my impressions for a gamescast, but what I'll say is that the most upsetting part of this review for me is that I didn't finish the game because I was not smart enough to get there, sadly. That's my problem. I can't do puzzles. I'm 16 hours in. I played a lot of this video game. I also, Barrett, I think played this game or played through it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
I just wanted to say this because I don't think I've seen anyone draw the comparison. Donkey Kong Bonanza's destruction slash mining reminds me a lot of Deep Rock Galactic. There you go. Okay.

Gary, it's become a problem. Roger's dying in the background. It's become a problem where I'm looking at these eggs and I'm like, why is it $20? Why am I paying $20 for these eggs? I just want to eat.

Today we're brought to you by BetterHelp, but we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's begin with what is, and forever will be, the Roper Report. It's time for some news. We have eight stories today.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And Gary, the first half of the show is going to be all about Nintendo with our first, I think, four news stories. Let's start off with story number one. Nintendo confirms Switch 2 Joy-Cons won't feature Hall Effect sticks. This is Jordan Midler at Video Games Chronicle. Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons won't feature Hall Effect analog sticks, the company has confirmed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
The long-rumored feature, which would mark a significant upgrade on the original Joy-Cons, won't be included in the launch models of the console. Hall Effect sticks, named after U.S. physicist Edwin Hall, use magnets and electrical conductors to measure the position of the stick, which make them effectively immune from drift, an issue that has affected many original Switch owners.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
When asked by Nintendo Life about the new Joy-Cons and their components, Nintendo confirmed that Hall Effect sticks would be missing. Quote, well, the Joy-Con 2's controllers have been designed from the ground up, said Nate Bildorf, Senior Vice President of Product Development and Publishing. They're not Hall Effect sticks, but hey, they feel really good. End quote. I know why I added hey.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
He didn't say hey. He just said, but they feel really good. He added, quote, I like both the Joy-Cons and the Pro Controller, but that Pro Controller, for some reason, the first time I grabbed it, I was like, this feels like a GameCube controller. I was a GameCube guy. Something about it felt so similar, or sorry, it felt so familiar, but the stick on that especially, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Nintendo has claimed Switch 2's new Joy-Con analog sticks will be more durable than on Switch 1 when asked about the potential stick drift issues. Now, Gary, how deep are you into the well of Hall Effect sticks and the conversations about them?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah, that's the thing. It's going to be the wait and see. And I definitely understand the frustration at this, right? It's the thing of, cool, when we were talking about stick drift, the primary offenders of stick drift, right, had been the Joy-Con ones.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Much more noticeable on the Joy-Cons. I'll even go as far as to say maybe like a bit more widespread. I would venture to say that if you bought a Switch at launch, If I asked people, there would be a higher amount of people that would probably say they had some form of stick drift over people that didn't. It was an overall issue that people had.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
So much so that even in the VGC article, I didn't include this for the read, but they end off saying two significant lawsuits over Nintendo Switch Joy-Con drift were dismissed in U.S. courts last year. A year earlier, following growing noise around the issue, Nintendo announced that it would repair all Joy-Con controllers suffering from Joy-Con drift. I'm sure that cost them a lot of money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
And yeah, that had to have cost them a lot of money. It makes me think that you're right, Gary, as far as they must have a solution here that is hopefully as good as the Hall of X solution.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Again, we don't know right now. You know, they're longer because the switch is longer, right? But like, yeah, maybe I don't, and this means speaking as somebody who's not looked at the internals of what makes a Halifax thing work, right? It's not any thicker.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Yeah. To bring in a couple of super chats for you, Gnuckbo writes in and says, I know the sticks are bigger. Do we know if the radius of the stick base is also larger? I would assume if the base has a larger radius, the dead zone is bigger and drift would be less drastic. Possibly, right? Like, again, I wasn't there with the fucking measuring tape, so I couldn't tell you what the base is larger.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25

Oh, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
I think that's a very good call, right? As far as lowering that barrier to entry, right? And like, hey, I bought a PlayStation. I had a PS4 for years and years and years. I haven't bought a PS5 because guess what? I don't care about playing Spider-Man 2 or whatever that much. Or I can play a lot of these games on PS4 anyway. Oh, shit. GTA is coming out. I'm going to buy this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
I'm going to buy a PS5 because I can't play this on PS4. Oh, now that I have a PS5, let me go play these other games. Like, I think that is a very salient point. I think the one thing I'll still throw back is, like, those online hours, right? GTA Online is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
At this point, maybe the more important product, when it's all said and done, as far as what it means to Rockstar and Take-Two, as far as generating revenue, what it's going to mean for the life cycle of the game. They're looking at GTA 6 probably for the next 10 years of what that's going to be, versus what GTA 5 was when they looked at that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
Yeah, it was definitely my favorite stream that I've been on and kind of funny, right? Like you go back to the studio opening and I think from a content perspective, I think the content of the studio opening stream was something my favorite that we've done.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
I was going to say, there's not really a clarification, but I wonder... I don't even know how they would calculate that if they're trying to calculate that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
And the thing I'm bringing to it is, I think... Because online they're developing this from the ground up with online, I think way more at the forefront than even what it has been. Obviously GTA five, they're obviously like, you know, working on online and like doing all that shit. And like, that was a very important piece of the pie there here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
I think now they know what they have with online and they're going into this, I think developing online as the, all right, we need to figure out how to keep people in. We need to make, figure out how to maintain people. And I think online,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
I think if they nail all that, if they figure out what are those carrots on the stick that are going to keep people coming back and have it be the fact that... I mean, I'm already someone who played so much GTA 5 online, right? But how do we get Tim Geddes to log in every day? How do we get Greg Miller to log in every day? How do we get the amount of people... Let's say...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
50 million people in year one or whatever those numbers are maybe more right like how do we get those people to want to log on like daily weekly whatever it is regularly i worry for like what that is going to do for time spent and other things right not fortnight not like all that shit is fine right but i'm thinking of i don't know just like any like any other game any other game that doesn't have like the that power that weight to like get that player time

Man. Man. Like, to your point, right? The fact that Fizzin exists is still kind of a crazy thing in my mind. And I say exists in quotation marks. We'll see when we actually get to play that thing. But, yeah. I mean, one... Happy Death Stranding 2 doesn't seem to be affected, right? Like, that game, I believe, is slated for this year. I think it got the 2025 window. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
And, you know, it not being mentioned within all this. Okay, cool. It seems like we could still get that this year, hopefully. Fingers crossed. I would love to see it this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
sloppily it has been implemented uh that thing is the ai thing is very scary right like then the fact that sometimes you won't even notice like i um i think it was the finals that came out um like a little bit over a year ago right like i think a year and a month where they had like ai announcers and i think i had played like maybe the beta or like i had played some version already and i'll and i didn't even realize until people pointed out and i went back and listened i was like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
Oh, yeah, like, that is AI. Oh, yeah, that kind of sucks, right? Like, one, because the performance, once you realize, you then start to, like, nitpick the performance and be like, oh, yeah, this kind of sounds off in some ways.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
But then also, like, yeah, you are taking away jobs from people who are actually doing quality work, and you're using a shortcut that, like, I think in the long run is going to end up leading to worse quality things, right? Because, like, you want...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
actors being able to portray these roles right you want people to be able to give the gravitas and emotion all this shit that like i don't think ai is able to and like we'll see where ai goes in the next 10 years it's getting scary and scarier as it goes where this shit is fucking wild that technology can do right but like you gotta use that spaghetti who was it will smith eating the spaghetti i've not seen this oh you're i have seen the og like a couple years ago yes you've seen the new version no terrifying really it's like it's way more realistic yeah and this thing is like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
You know, I think technology itself isn't inherently evil. It's about what you do with the technology. And I think a lot of the generative AI stuff that is, like, I think doing quote-unquote creative work in ways that is either stealing other people's creative works to generate what it's doing or just, like, taking away work from other people, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
As far as, like, oh, this could be done in a way more quality way if you give it to somebody else to do. Like, I think that's the shit that sucks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
But...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
And I think, I mean, I think a strike is great, right? Like, I think this is one of those ones where you need to push back from what I understand of talking to people. Like there are people in my family that work in tech and do different shit. Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
And like, one of the things that I hear is when it comes to AI being put into everything, it is very much like investors and people that are getting that get excited about the idea of innovation and pushing something forward and like making more for less.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
yeah essentially what it is and like there is a push in the tech world for ai in everything right hey you're doing whatever job you're like you're a janitor you're doing whatever figure out how to like implement ai like we need ai in it because ai is going to excite the investors going to make us more money right it's not necessarily we have to pay less people yeah like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
It is kind of about pushing things in that way. And so any opportunity right now in the tech world that might possibly have a potential for AI, it's going to be pushed. And so I think in a scenario like this where you're an actor and you see that push and you foresee the fact that this push is going to be bad for both the medium, but especially your job, yeah, fight back. Strike.

I was invested in Cena versus Orton in that era. I remember having friends in high school that thought they were John Cena. There's a dude I remember named Ryan who would talk like John Cena. He wanted to rap like

And you do understand that, like, as soon as Greg started walking in, I frantically opened up a Game Showdown doc to write questions. Because I was like, I don't have anything prepared. I'm not ready. I thought he was already cashing it in. I was like, I was cashing it in. Now I got to, like, figure out what questions to do in real time. And then I remembered, I was like, wait.

GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25

Marvel Rivals is one that I peek into maybe like once a week or so, like play a few matches and then like, you know, move on. It's very fun. It's just tough to like find the crew. It's tough to like get people coordinated at the same time. Like, yo, we're playing Marvel Rivals. That said, very impressed with the fact that they're already adding Fantastic Four.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
Like John Cena, right? He had a chokehold on my generation. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
I was having a conversation on this show late last year, I think in the last week, with Snow White Mike. We were talking about Marvel Rivals, and we were talking about what it needed to be successful. Actually, this was not the last week. This was like the last month. And one of the things Mike said was like, oh, it needs this many characters, this many things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
I was like, Mike, you're going to get four characters in 2025, and that's it. You're going to get one character per season. And...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
that's a big statement and i don't think you're crazy yeah like already i think it is it's it's on that trajectory like the launch buzz is so high and it's still here after weeks which is like already big to say about a games in service because it feels like so many games in service you have that first big week and then an immediate dip right but like no like the hotness is still there they got characters to add already and they're adding four fantastic i mean they're adding the fantastic four yeah which is very exciting it's not like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
it's also not like they're at a lack of characters to add in the future there are so many characters still left on the table that can be great you look at the art style you look at the polish of it right it is a very impressive game and i think even more so you show it to anybody and they immediately get it you know i i my friend sarah right one of my close friends friends she plays uh overwatch every week uh with her crew right and i join sometimes like most of the time i'll join
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
And I texted them right before Marvel Rivals came out. And I was like, hey, you should play Marvel Rivals. It's the newness. It's the new Overwatch. And I was expecting them to play it for maybe a few weeks. They're still playing Marvel Rivals regularly. And I'll hop in with them. And it's the thing of, oh, if it's hitting with this crew of people that only really play Overwatch...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
I'm sure it's hitting for a lot of that fan base. I think a lot of the Overwatch fan base was looking for something like this that felt fresh, but still felt within the confines of, oh, this is the hero shooter with polish, with personality.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25

The Crypt Master page on Blue Sky put out a tweet saying, If you've enjoyed Crypt Master, please consider sharing the news.

GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
It's not just a typing game, and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it. I just want to give my own personal shout-out. Me and Greg, I think, talked about it last year. But I think we talked about it, like, maybe on the back of a Gamescast or something like that. Critmaster is a really cool indie game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
It is a dungeon crawler where, essentially, you're using... You're collecting words and using words to battle against enemies. And there's, like, really fun word puzzles that allow you to, like, access certain areas. It's really cool. It has a really interesting, like, eerie vibe to it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
And it's one that I would recommend if, like, dungeon crawler is your vibe or, like, really cool word stuff is your vibe. If you're into, like, the, um... Like... New York Times word game type stuff.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
the article does go on i encourage people to go check it out on ig and i think they go on to talk about like the the potential of gta6 to bring more people into gaming and and um you know what how that can affect the industry which i think is a very fascinating part of the conversation that i do want to dive into one i want to say that three billion does not sound like a real number to me like it's funny because you mentioned like that you know that's you said that's more than what they bought star wars for that's almost what they bought star wars was four billion
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
four billion so it's like approaching what they bought star wars for well what's funny is it's just like the headline here that we we have is like projected to make three billion it's 3.2 billion and when we're talking about billions that point two means quite a lot that's 200 million dollars which you're right like that's a lot of money um but like yeah i read three billion i'm like that's not a real number like that but even i think
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
diving more into that, right? I guess talking about the effects of the industry, and honestly, I probably should have kept this part of the article in here. I might go and find it as I'm talking, but I am very fascinated to see what GTA 6 does for the industry, both
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
positive and also negative because when we talk we've had discussions a lot in the last year especially about like the state of the industry um there was a uh a popular article that was making the rounds a few months ago about how um people uh are spending more time playing games that are like six years and older right and like

GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
One of the things I want to bring to the table here with GTA 6 coming out, of course, we imagine that GTA 6 is going to bring a lot of people back into video games, right? Console sales are probably going to go through the roof, right? PlayStation 5 Pro, I'm sure, is banking on GTA 6. And like also Xbox, right? Like, hey, we want to sell these consoles.

GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25

GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
We're going to see a spike in terms of what these sales are. Is there fear to be had as far as software, like other software that isn't GTA 6? Because when we go back to people spending their time playing, like so many people, when you ask, what are you playing, right? It's going to be Fortnite. It's going to be Apex. It's going to be Minecraft.

Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
You need to meet people where they are, and I think that's the big thing of it. This goes back to the conversation that I was having with Tim on the chaotic episode of KFC where everything was breaking, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Talking about the video games industry as a whole, and me pulling from a lot of Pierce's video, which if you haven't checked out yet, you should go check out, because one of the conversations that she was having there was about the video game market's ability to... and how that started to tap out a bit as it's become a matured market, right? Matt Piscitella.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Yeah, Matt Piscitella talked about it when he was here. How many more... how much more people can you get consoles out to that haven't bought consoles or that aren't invested in the ecosystem, right? Like, if that is slowing, then that starts to become a problem if you are looking at this industry or if you're looking for your business to grow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I'm very busy, so it's just like, I see it, I'm like, alright. That's fair. You're somebody with a full-time job. You know what I mean? You have to be jobless out there like Tim Geddes to know that this is happening. But like, it's one of those things where I respect how ballsy it is. I know you said it's doing crazy in the box office, but like, that's It's pretty neat.

Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
And even when I look at, you know, cloud gaming and play anywhere and that stuff, there are parts of it that I look at that I'm skeptical about, mainly the technology of, are people going to be satisfied playing this way? The strategy of it, I think, is very sound and very... if you want your business to grow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
All right, maybe we've tapped out on people buying $500 consoles or $700 or $900 consoles. Everybody has a phone. Everybody has a phone. Everybody has a screen. We need to beat people where they are and get them into the ecosystem that way because we're starting to slow down in terms of investing people in hardware. Even like we talk about the younger generations and how like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
are kids buying consoles? Are our kids just watching streams? Are kids just watching people on YouTube play their games? Are they then investing maybe in PCs or something like that, right? Because they're seeing their favorite streamers do that. Yeah, I think this is the right decision and it all comes back to the thing of get your games everywhere. Put Gears of War on everything, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Like, if Gears of War Reloaded takes off in the way that we look at Forza Horizon right now and Elder Scrolls, for Oblivion right now, right? There's a new story later, I think it's in WeNews, of Oblivion doing incredible numbers. This is the third best-selling game of the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25

Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Because my last thing here, and I guess I'll just direct this at the chat then. Is this my opportunity? To get into Gears of War. Gears of War has been one of those things that I've just let bypass me because I didn't have a 360. I didn't get into owning an Xbox until the Xbox One. And so I just haven't played a Gears of War game. For what y'all know about me, would I like Gears of War?

Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
But I don't know if it's going to... Yeah, I saw somebody ask, like, what was my take on Space Marine 2? I played it for one stream. I guess it's the same, similar Outriders thing. Like, I think... I guess for that genre of game, for me, it's a thing of it's a fun time waster. It's a fun way to hang out with people. But I don't think I'll play 15 hours by myself alone.

Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
No, of the third-person cover-based action shooter. If Gears of War is the best one, then there's a chance. I'll play any genre as long as it's a really good game. That's kind of my taste. Just give me a good game and I'll probably like it a lot. Except Monster Hunter. Except Monster Hunter. What was the other one?

This episode is brought to you by Imperial. We've told you all how important it is to developers to wishlist games that you're interested in. So if this sounds cool to you, make sure you wishlist it. Imperial is a complex feature rich action RPG where you'll be sent to a planet in a far off corner of the galaxy to explore an imposing monolith.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
As an elite mercenary, you'll join the expedition tasked with unearthing the secrets of the Monolith and face off against the deadly automatons within. In Imperial, you'll explore four vastly different quadrants of the Monolith, accessible only by using mysterious artifacts known as cartograms.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Each cartogram affects which enemies, boss fights, and loot will appear when you enter the Monolith, so no two excursions will be the same. Find even more cartograms to explore by looting defeated enemies or buy them from other players online at the Trading Post.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Imperial features three weapon archetypes, the fast-paced Acrobatic Glaive, the defense-focused Mason Shield, or the Devastating Cannon, with a range of customizable skills and abilities that can make short work of the awaiting automatons. Your weapons and abilities can be changed before any excursion into a cartogram.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
So if a loadout isn't working for you, you can mix things up to create the perfect playstyle. Help the members of the expedition in deep branching quests and aid other players in asynchronous multiplayer. Get ready, mercenaries. The monolith awaits. Imperial is available May 8th on PC, Xbox Series X and S, and PS5. Wishlist now. It helps so much. Wishlist Imperial.

What are the mean people saying?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
And we're back. And Greg, a part of the conversation I wanted to bring in, and you also pointed out somebody in chat actually brought this in as well, right? Denny G's Yoppy, I believe is what it is. Denny G's Yoppy? Deeran? Deeran G's Yoppy? Deary G's? They write in to say Fable needs a remake.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
And that was one of the conversations I thought was worth having about this as well is, are there other games on the Xbox side that you could see getting this treatment or that you think need this treatment?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Not to get spoilery for Fallout the TV show, but like, wouldn't it make sense to do another game?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
yeah i mean i had the same thing with new vegas as well where i when season one of the show came out i popped into new vegas because fall three one of my favorite games of all time yeah but it's always it's the thing you say that i sometimes disagree with but in this case very true of old games old yeah where i'm playing fall new vegas and i'm like oh man it's hard to play this post playing fallout 4 and i know people would hear that as sacrilege but like mainly the thing of not that fallout 4 is better than new vegas just that fallout 4 is more modern yeah of
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
course little quality of life things yeah yeah it's all like I would love for them to go back to New Vegas and figure something out there also people super chat in with if you have any suggestions for remasters remakes because the one that comes to mind for me is and it's one that I don't know how it would work because the nature of it but one that I asked for all the time is where I replay specifically on the switch
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
That way, or maybe in this case, Switch 2, that way you're able to get in a Donkey Kong 64, you're able to get in a Diddy Kong Racing, you're able to get in the Donkey Kong Country games, right? Like, as much as you want to talk about Rare's history as a developer, so much of that history lies with Nintendo. And so having that be a collaboration, I think, would make so much sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Nintendo does have a plan for that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Why? Why? Why? This would be the way, though. If you were to lump it in with a Rare Replay remastered thing or a Rare Replay port, I think I'd prefer that over just Switch Online, because then you're hopefully getting bells and whistles and stuff, like maybe remap your controls type stuff. You might get an uprest, maybe a better frame rate. I don't know.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I mean, I think it's all of it, right? If it was a, hey, we're just visually remastering this thing and do small tweaks to the mechanics, I'd be totally down for that. I don't need a revamp. I don't need you to remix New Vegas because then you're almost turning it into a different game. I'm down for the core experience that's there. I'm down for a visual thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
It's just around the corner, Greg. Oh, gotcha. Yeah, of course. Some super chats, suggestions. Jim Tacey says they should remaster Skyrim. Sure.

The latest rumor surrounding Valve's long-awaited next installment in the Half-Life series claims that the game is currently playable end-to-end and could even be announced in the summer, followed by a release in winter of this year. The speculation comes from Tyler McVicker, who's known for reporting on Valve rumors during his latest Q&A livestream.

In March, a Valve concept artist claimed that he was in the room where Valve made Half-Life 3 on CG Voice's podcast. In the same month, another Valve leaker, Gabe Follower, claimed that Half-Life 3 would be the end of Gordon's adventure, potentially signaling a non-cliffhanger ending to one of gaming's best franchises.

Outside of these rumors, internet sleuths discovered code referencing HLX, which is widely thought to be the codename for Half-Life 3 and major updates to Deadlock and Dota 2. While these rumors are unconfirmed, they are promising signs of Half-Life 3.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
McVicker said during his livestream that HLX won't be another virtual reality game like Half-Life Alyx and that there are procedural generation features that aren't for terrain generation or roguelike mechanics. Greg, can you believe it?

And here we are. I want this generations without getting a GTA. I saw somewhere that it's been longer since a GTA five, um, between the time between GTA five and now, uh, then the time where they released all the GTAs. I believe it. Right. Like GT or at least since GTA three, right? GTA three through five was the last time then from five to now fucked up. Yeah. It's super fucked up.

One day, maybe. Do you imagine half like three coming out this year? Just shaking up the game of the year conversation. I mean, you think it would be that? You think it would, like... Yeah, Half-Life 3? Yeah. Yeah, I don't think so. I mean, from current Valve, you played Alex. I did. And from what I gather, Alex is, at least for a lot of people, a special video game. I enjoyed Alex, yeah.

If they took that quality and made it a flat-screen title, as the streets say, does that not speak to you as, oh, this will be a game of the year conversation? Absolutely not.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I guess for me, when I think about Half-Life – and you know what? I mean, the conversation gets into an interesting place because – Half-Life has always been a very groundbreaking franchise whenever you get a new one, right? Half-Life 1 comes through, changes the game. Half-Life 2 comes through, changes the game, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Brings in new types of physics, builds people's minds as far as what the Source Engine can do, all that stuff. Sure. I think I would expect a similar amount of groundbreaking from Half-Life 3. And I don't know if that's unfair expectations to have on it because I look at it as that franchise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Bringing in a super chat from Peaceful Warhead, will Half-Life 3 be announced at SGF or TGA?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
God, it's the, I think the tough thing with this is what is the timing of Half-Life 3? Like, this article makes it seem like it could possibly hit by winter, and if they think it's winter, I'll think then SGF, but like, SGF versus Game Awards in terms of the tier of announcements you get, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Like, a Half-Life 3 at SGF puts SGF, in my opinion, above Game Awards as far as what applications are right now. Half-Life 3 is the biggest thing you could ever announce.

Like, you do not get bigger than that. Or Grand Theft Auto. Or Grand Theft Auto, yeah, that's a good call. So, it's the weird thing of... Like, I mean, if I'm Jeff, obviously, if I have this opportunity, I'm doing it no matter fucking what. Like, yeah, bringing into SGF. But let's say it slips that because maybe it's just not ready for announcement or whatever it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Like, do you even wait for TGAs to announce it? Like, do you... As Valve, he just announced it on Twitter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I think if Jeff is able to secure a Half-Life 3, I think you solidify it then. I think that's where people go, oh, this is E3. I need to pay attention to this every year. I need to pay attention to this. Story number three, something else you should pay attention to. Polygon's new owner says it will do what's right for Polygon. This is Jay Peters at The Verge.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
What was right to start with was just laying everyone off, just getting rid of everybody. Polygon, The Verge's former sister site dedicated to covering gaming and entertainment, is now owned by Valnet, a company that owns more than 27 different brands covering gaming, entertainment, sports, travel, and more. The transition is, let's say, ongoing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
A day after the acquisition, the site still said it was a Vox Media property and the site's coverage continued more or less uninterrupted. But Valnet has indeed acquired Polygon. So to learn more about the deal, why the company acquired it, and the future of the site, I got on the phone with Valnet's head of mergers and acquisitions, Rony Arzumanian.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Polygon is a, quote, AAA gaming brand that Valnet has been of high interest for some time, Arzumanian said. Valnet's gaming portfolio also includes Game Rant, The Gamer, Fextralife, Dual Shockers, Hardcore Gamer, and Open Critic. Arzumanian said the company is bullish on gaming coverage.

Remember, we're an 11-person business, all about live talk shows. Today, after KFGD, you're going to get Gamescast, which is about it being one month until the Switch 2. It's going to be a final, I guess not a final conversation, but a one-month-out conversation.

Valnet initiated the Polygon deal and Arzumanian said the conversations started, quote, a few months ago, end quote. He declined to share the terms of the deal. Going forward, Valnet wants to ensure that Polygon has the deepest coverage of the gaming space, Arzumanian said.

He declined to share specific coverage expectations, but said Valnet will, quote, do what's right for Polygon and that, quote, we think Polygon has a lot of potential and could be much more, end quote. Around 10 existing Polygon staffers are moving over to the site's new owner, Arzumanian said. Matt Patches, who was previously Polygon's executive editor, is heading things up for now.

Valnet is also rebuilding the team, investing in its operations, and making sure it builds Polygon for the next 5 to 10 years, according to Arzumanian. Valnet wants to recruit, quote, triple A writers and editors for Polygon, he said. When I asked about the balance, what the balance might be of full time hires and contractors, he deferred on specifics, but said we will do it right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Arsmanian also deferred on whether Polygon would hire another editor in chief, saying that right now the focus is on ensuring continuity following the close of the deal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I also asked if Valnet more broadly is making changes in response to a recent report about Valnet from The Wrap, which included an allegation from one former contributor about almost sweatshop-level working conditions at a Valnet publication. Arsmanian pointed me to Valnet's press release about its recent defamation lawsuit filed against The Wrap. What a forthcoming interview this is.

Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
He really has a lot of answers. A year from now, Arsvenian said he doesn't expect things to be that different. Valnet wants to maintain course and keep investing in the brand. He deferred to the operations side of Valnet on whether the company wants Polygon to switch to scored reviews.

But this goes to the opposite of, like, you know, Arzumanian in this article talking about being bullish on gaming coverage. Like, the sad thing for me when I look at it is, like, for as many people that I see coming to Patreon or coming to independent crowdfunding, like, I don't see the majority of those being successful with it. Yeah. And that's just the sad news of it.

I think, for me, the difference... I'll get to you in a second, Barrett. Get to you, Barrett. The main difference is, when I look at an EA, or if I look at a Ubisoft, I don't think about the EA or Ubisoft ecosystem in the way that I think about an Xbox ecosystem. I think there's way more to it than Xbox being a third-party publisher. Can I call Xbox a third-party publisher?

Bioware currently has no plans for downloadable Dragon Age The Veilguard expansions, seemingly scuttling any hopes for DLC on the order of fan-favorite releases like Trespasser or Awakening. Instead, Rolling Stone reports that Bioware's, quote, full attention has shifted entirely to the next Mass Effect, end quote, now that Dragon Age is officially out in the wild.

While BioWare didn't offer any follow-up details in Rolling Stone's report, IGN understands that the studio plans to support the Veil Guard with quality of life improvements and a handful of smaller content updates. We have reached out to EA for more details. BioWare's decision not to release a DLC expansion may come as a surprise given its history with Mass Effect Dragon Age and Baldur's Gate 2.

DLC episodes like Mass Effect 2's Lair of the Shadow Broker, the Dragon Age 2 prequel Leiliana's Song, and the aforementioned Trespasser include some of Bioware's best-loved stories, offering a deeper look at their worlds and characters.

But having finally finished its decade-long journey with the Veilguard, Bioware seems ready to focus its attention on Mass Effect, which has been largely on hold due to the studio focusing all of its efforts on shipping Dragon Age. Snow Mike Mike. Not doing Dragon Age The Veil Guard DLC to focus on Mass Effect. Do you think this is a good decision?

Bioware Confirms No Dragon Age DLC, Mass Effect is Next - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.04.24
Yeah, I agree. I mean, I'm somebody who... DLC doesn't always excite me. I feel like it's a rarer case where DLC comes out and I'm truly like, oh man, like I can't fucking wait. Like the cases I think of are Elden Ring, the Elden Ring DLC that came out earlier. Shadow of the Air Tree. Yep, Shadow of the Air Tree. Last year we had Cyberpunk 2077. That big DLC expansion came out, right? Woo!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Bioware Confirms No Dragon Age DLC, Mass Effect is Next - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.04.24
And I feel like you might get one or two a year that get me. Maybe one a year that gets me. But for every Shadow of the Earth tree, I feel like there are multiple other DLC expansions that come out, and it just feels like I'm playing more of the game.

Bioware Confirms No Dragon Age DLC, Mass Effect is Next - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.04.24
And it doesn't feel like something that is the worthwhile, man, I'm glad they put all their manpower into this when they could have been working on the next game. And on the flip side, I feel like when you're talking about financially, DLC is always tough because the audience that you're selling to are... It's a smaller audience, right? It's the diehards. It's the diehards.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Bioware Confirms No Dragon Age DLC, Mass Effect is Next - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.04.24
It's the audience that already owns the game and then within that audience is the people that are diehard that really want that extra content and want to pay $20 maybe for it or $30 or $40 in the case of something like Shadow of the Earth if I got that right. I might not have.

Do you think that's the case for something like Spider-Man 2 or Spider-Man 1, for example? Because I feel like The City That Never Sleeps, it's the DLC that people never talk about for me, right? Like, I don't hear people be like, oh man, that brought me back to the game. Oh man, remember this DLC? Like, this probably sold so many more units of that title.

That's the... See, this is such an interesting conversation for... Where is DLC at in 2024? Because for me, if you're speaking to my preference, I either want you to go really big or really small for DLC. Oh, okay. Give me either Shadow of the Earth Tree or something like Phantom Liberty where you're going in, you're adding in 20, 30, 40 more hours, right? This is an expansion.

Bioware Confirms No Dragon Age DLC, Mass Effect is Next - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.04.24
You can't even call this DLC anymore. You are expanding the game a sizable amount. Or... Give me challenge rooms. For Spider-Man 2, honestly, if you're going to make a City That Never Sleeps Part 2, I'd be like, no. I don't want another five hours of story that's going to be these side characters that I don't know.

Bioware Confirms No Dragon Age DLC, Mass Effect is Next - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.04.24
That said, Spider-Man 2 did introduce some interesting characters that could lead to good stories, but also... Those could be really good stories for Spider-Man 3. Just say those are Spider-Man 3. For me, I want... Give me one or two more types of activities to go do.

Bioware Confirms No Dragon Age DLC, Mass Effect is Next - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.04.24
Give me, like... I miss the stealth challenges from Spider-Man 1 where you go through and, like, you have to take out 10 enemies on a rooftop or whatever without being spotted as fast as you can. Like, add in fucking 10 of those to Spider-Man 2. Add in more costumes, which I think they did. Add in, like, stuff like that that's not necessarily, you know...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Bioware Confirms No Dragon Age DLC, Mass Effect is Next - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.04.24
four more hours of story or whatever, or something that's going to break the back of the developers when they could be working on the next title. Give me just, you know, stuff that's going to extend my play time with the game and I'm good.

Do you think Dragon Age fans are, and I'm talking about the majority, obviously not all, but do you think most of the Dragon Age fan base are also fans of Mass Effect? Because for me, it is kind of like serving the same thing. And I would almost go, I would venture to say that Mass Effect is probably bigger than Dragon Age. You can correct me if I'm wrong. No, I would go with that.

Ich frage mich, ob es mehr davon geben wird. Du hattest den Red Dead Redemption Remaster für die moderne Plattform, den wir vor einem Jahr oder so bekommen haben. Es gab den Gerücht, dass GTA 4 Remake oder Remaster...

might have got slashed because of the reception the bad reception of the gta trilogy i wonder if this could be a way to sort of usher that idea back in because i think there's a lot of stuff you can do with that i think that would be exciting for the audience i think people would be down for a gta 4 remake i know i would gta 4 i'm on for bully would bully get people excited i know barrett gets excited when i bring up bully i love bully just like barrett's like bully would get me excited to jump back into bully 2 though

But I do wonder if for Rockstar you have a threshold of what you're willing to touch. I'm even surprised, honestly, that they're allowing Remedy to do the Max Payne remakes. Ich glaube, ich bin nicht so überrascht, weil es nicht für sie funktioniert und sie einfach das IP-License auslösen. Aber trotzdem, ich denke für Rockstar, wenn du deine Prioritäten anschaust, ist GTA so... Es ist alles.

Sony reportedly cancelled the Twisted Metal Live Service game, which was in development at British studio Firesprite, as a part of a huge round of company-wide layoffs last year. VGC hat im Jahr 2022 veröffentlicht, dass der Twisted Metal-Reboot im aktiven Entwicklungsbereich bei Firesprite stattfindet, nachdem er von dem originalen Entwickler Lucid Games gewechselt wurde.

Es wurde verstanden, dass Sony originalerweise die Vehicle Combat Games Serie zurückbringen wollte, um mit der Twisted Metal TV Serie zusammenzuarbeiten, die im Jahr 2023 veröffentlicht wurde. Nun, die ersten beantragten Details des Reboots von FireSprite sind online vorgesehen, als Teil eines Online-CVs von einem Entwickler.

Okay, ich stimme zu. Ich stimme zu. Mein Ding mit Twisted Metal ist, dass es nicht nur außerhalb der Bubble von PlayStation ist, sondern außerhalb der Bubble von dem, die Spiele, die Leute heute überhaupt machen. Und ich denke, hier ist die Sache mit Twisted Metal. Ich denke, Twisted Metal funktioniert, wenn du es einem Indie-Developer gibst und du es auf einem Indie-Budget machst.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Ich denke nicht, dass du ein Twisted Metal auf einem Triple-Budget machen kannst. Gucken wir mal auf Destruction All-Stars. Bevor wir das Spiel gespielt haben, und wir waren so, oh, das ist verdammt furchtbar. Destruction Allstars, from announcement, people were like, oh, alright. Same kind of game. They were saying you should have made a Twisted Metal game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
But even if you put Twisted Metal on that, I don't know if you're, I think a Twisted Metal IP would uplift that a bit. I don't know if it saves that game. I just don't know if for $70 people are trying to buy that. I think you have to figure out how to make that fit in 2025. You can't make a multiplayer Twisted Metal game and sell it for $70. You still have some single player.

Yeah, I'm not mad at the idea. von einer Battle Royale-Style, weil ich denke, du sprichst dann von Last Player Standing und einer viel größeren Map, die funktionieren könnte. Ich denke, wenn wir die Screenshots sehen und die Leute sind außerhalb der Autos, da verlierst du mich. Da bin ich so, warum machst du nur einen Drittpersonen-Schütze? Warum kämpfen die außerhalb der Autos?

Und um vollständig zu kommen und mich im Elimination Chamber zu sehen und John Cena zu heilen. Ich habe Roger gestern Morgen geschaut und ihm gesagt, dass John Cena heilen soll, bedeutet, dass ich heile. Ja. That is my moral compass. So like, don't fuck with me, y'all. Barry, don't cross me.

Du sprichst von uns mit Hindsight im Jahr 2020. Oh, du kannst ein Spiel wie dieses nicht machen. Das wird nicht funktionieren. Ich denke, als du die Entwicklung von Twisted Metal ausgeliefert hast, sprichst du von Lucid, der Entwickler von Destruction Allstars, der dieses Spiel herausgebracht hat. am Anfang von Februar 2021 auf PS Plus und dann wahrscheinlich sofort auf Twisted Metal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Das funktioniert nicht, es wird auf Fire Sprite gepasst und du sprichst von 2021, 2022. An diesem Punkt fühlst du dich vielleicht noch da, aber PUBG ist jetzt nur fünf Jahre alt. Okay, Fortnite ist immer noch da, du siehst auch andere Battle Royales, die in Ruhe kommen.

Ich denke, jetzt, als wir gesehen haben, wie die Körper fallen, als wir gesehen haben, wie die Industrie aussieht, denke ich, dass es viel einfacher wird, uns zu sagen, oh, das ist eine schlechte Idee.

Fair enough. Mike, we're going to move on to story number three. But before we do, I want to tell you about patreon.com slash kindoffunny and youtube.com slash kindoffunnygames where you can go and get the kindoffunny membership, which allows you to get shows ad-free.

And we're back. And before the break I said we're going to move on to story number three. Mike, I lied. I lied. We have a lot of super chats in here I want to actually talk about because a lot of these are about Twisted Metal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Very fascinating about some of these. So Zeke Speak writes in and says Thomas Tank Engine, Twisted Metal, Do It Cowards.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Big Five writes in and says for $70 Let me say that again. For $70, Twisted Metal would have to be a little Fortnite, I think. Put in the Batmobile, the Mach 5, etc. So he's saying that to justify the price, you would have to get a lot of crossover content.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
I mean, but here's the thing. I don't think that argument works, though, because Fortnite isn't $70. I think to be the crossover content thing, you have to be free. That way people are paying for your crossover content.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Yeah, but they won't be successful doing that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Both things that are way bigger than Twisted Metal, Mike. You're saying NBA and WWE. I'm talking about Twisted Metal. It's like Pokemon and Hey Arnold all over again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

We got another one from Gaff Air, who writes and says, nobody cared about Twisted Metal on PS3. Why now?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Twisted Metal PS3, I don't believe was a good game. Is that Twisted Metal Black? No. Okay. Außer Black was für PS3. Chat, du musst mich auf das korrigieren. Aber es gab ein Twisted-Metal-Spiel, glaube ich, in der späteren Hälfte der PS3-Ära, von dem ich mich erinnere, das Demo zu spielen und zu sagen, das ist nicht gut. Black war für PS2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
But here's the thing. This might be a hot take. I think a TV show is the right way. I think they did the right thing with Twisted Metal. Make a TV show and make it good. And they seemingly did that. Yeah, but it's a game. Make it a game. You can't tease me with a show and then not put out a game, though. I think... I don't know if this is a hard truth or maybe it's just a blessing opinion.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
And I'm allowed to have bad opinions. I have a lot. But I think some things we just gotta let go of the past. Some games aren't gonna work in 2025, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
And I think there's a reason for that. I think you don't see it because it doesn't fit anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
I know that, but what if I started meshing things together? But Rocket League is a good example of what I'm saying as far as give Twisted Metal to an indie developer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Here's the thing, I want to bring in, because I think there are a couple super chats that fit within the conversation we're having here. 3KKL writes in and says, there's a demo for a Steam Next Fest game, Fumes, that's basically Twisted Metal, love it. AP also writes in and says, check out Fumes if you want Twisted Metal cross Mad Max. Barrett has up a video, a trailer of his game Fumes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Und das ist das, was ich sage. Ich denke, wenn man Twisted Metal macht, muss man es auf einer kleineren Ebene machen. Ja. Und vielleicht weniger für es zahlen. Und einen Publikum finden, der sich darauf spezifisch befindet. Ich denke, gerade jetzt, für das, was Video-Game-Development ist und wie viel Video-Games kosten, und wir haben diese Budgets gesehen, Ja. Ja.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Nobody remembers Star Wars Demolition except for me. I liked Vigilante 8. That was a good time. You bring up Burnout also. I love Burnout. That I think would work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Und ehrlich gesagt, wünschte ich mir, dass PlayStation das tun würde. Und ich denke, wir alle stimmen dazu.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Wenn PlayStation mehr kleinere Entwickler anbieten würde und sagen würde, hey, wir machen nichts mit dieser IP, hier, machen wir etwas auf einem kleineren Budget, wir promotieren es, wir markieren es, wir legen es auf der Frontpage auf der Playstation Store, all that shit, wir legen es in eine Situation der Spielzeit. Ich denke, das ist ein Wettbewerb.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Es könnte nicht Gott des Krieges Geld machen, aber es ist ein Wettbewerb.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Weil ja, zu Bears Punkt, richtig? Ja, es ist das Ding, hey, wenn du nicht Geld auf einer exponentiellen Ebene machst, sind die CEOs nicht glücklich. Und schau dir das an, wenn CEOs nicht glücklich sind, ist dein Studio geschlossen. Ja. Du machst nicht das, was Spider-Man macht. Geh einfach weg. Das ist das, was passiert. Also ja, sie haben genug Geld.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Sie haben genug Geld, um eine Menge Geld in ein neues Twisted-Metal-Spiel zu werfen. Und es zu verletzen. Sony wird in Ordnung sein. Aber das Studio wird verletzt, weil CEO-Med. CEO-Big-Med. Wenn CEO-Big-Med das Studio verletzt wird.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Ja, und anstatt von einem anderen Spider-Man zu versuchen, zu schauen, wer was macht, und zu sagen, yo, einfach Twisted Metal drauflegen. Einfach ein Twisted Metal-Stick drauflegen, den Clown-Guy drauflegen, und dann ist er tot.

Dear Lord. I want to bring in one more Super Chat in from James Peters. It says, off topic from Twisted Metal, but a quick shout out to Rare. Booted up Sea of Thieves after years and it's still so much fun and so new.

For the first time in its history, more than 40 million people were playing games on Steam this weekend. Steam's stats page stated that around 2pm GMT on Sunday, the total number of concurrent Steam users hit a peak of 40,275,012. This is not only the highest peak ever recorded on the platform, but also the first time the peak has crossed 40 million concurrent users.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
A notable portion of these users were playing Monster Hunter Wilds, which hit a peak of more than 1.38 million players on Saturday, according to SteamDB. This made it the 8th game in Steam's history to ever pass 1 million concurrent players and put it 5th in its all-time charts of the highest all-time peak reached by a single game, bettering the likes of Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077 and Dota 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
It still has some way to go, however, to beat the all-time concurrent peaks of Counter-Strike 2, which sits at 1.6 million, Palworld, which is 2.1 million, Black Myth Wukong, 2.4 million, and PUBG Battlegrounds, 3.2 million. PUBG Battlegrounds, that's redundant, isn't it?

That was crazy. Incredible stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
I like playing this game, but I'm always bad at it because there are so many Obviously Call of Duty, but then sports games. So I never know how to compare Monster Hunter to a FIFA. But yes, I think outside of that realm, Monster Hunter would be probably top 2?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Yeah, I mean, that has to be high, right? Like, you're talking about 1.38 million players on Saturday, just on PC. So when you think about Xbox, when you think about PlayStation, that shit adds up, right? Like, if we're saying comparable player counts, you're talking about maybe 4 million sales in week one, which is fucking awesome. Good for Monster Hunter, good for Capcom, for, you know...

Story Nummer 4. Hideki Kamiya sagt, er würde gerne einen Tag mit Scalebound machen. Das ist Chris Collian von Video Games Chronicle. Vorher Co-Founder von Platinum Games, Hideki Kamiya, sagt, er möchte noch einen Tag mit Scalebound machen.

GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Die Bayonetta, Devil May Cry und Okami-Direktor haben Platinum ein Jahr und ein halbes Jahr gelesen und arbeiten gerade auf einen Sequel zu Okami mit seinem neuen Studio Clovers Inc. Aber ein neuer Tweet, den der offizielle Clovers Inc. Account auf X veröffentlicht hat, sagte, dass Kamiya noch nicht den cancelled Xbox-Game Scalebound aus seinem Kopf hat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
The Action RPG started development at Platinum in 2013 with Kamiya as director and was to be released on Xbox and PC with Microsoft Studios Publishing. However, in 2017, Microsoft announced that the game had been cancelled. Clover's latest tweet shows Kamiya and other staff crowded around a monitor as they watch YouTube videos of early scale-bound footage.

Quote, Notice some excitement around Kamiya's desk, the tweet reads. Er widmet sich der Entwicklung von Scalebound, während er YouTube-Videos schaut. Er hat es nie ausgeliefert, aber selbst jetzt fühlt er sich immer noch stolz darauf. In dem Video hat Kamiya zu seinen Kollegen erklärt, dass der Protagonist Headphones in einem Smartphone hat, obwohl er in einer Phänomenen Welt mit Drogenden ist.

Was das Spezielle macht, ist, dass der Charakter, obwohl er in Fantasy Land with Dragons ist, hat Headphones und einen MP3-Player. Das ist eine Fisch-auf-Water-Situation. Natürlich ist es so. Wir waren da, als du es erklärt hast. Das ist wie mir, das ist wie Miyamoto. Das ist wie mir, die mir Miyamoto steht. Miyamoto sagt, weißt du, was Mario speziell macht? Er ist ein Plumber.

That's the issue. Here's the thing. The game got cancelled and we're seeing mid-development stuff. An idea of what the game was in that development cycle. I'm not... I'm never mad at trying out ideas. I like trying. Not every idea is going to be a hit. We're not supposed to see every idea. The game was cancelled, so obviously we weren't supposed to see it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
I don't get mad about how you get from A to B to C. Of, alright, we want to bring back Twisted Metal. How do we bring back Twisted Metal in a big way that's modernized for today? A lot of people are doing Battle Royales. Okay, I think that fits the Twisted Metal formula. Okay, what if you get out the car and start shitting around? Okay, maybe we've gone too far. Hahaha. But hey, it's an idea.

GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
They fixed that bad version. That's how it went. Um... And then we got one more, you're wrong, from Pixelated Soul, who writes in and says, this is a quote from Wikipedia, On November 19th, 2018, the United States Patent and Trademark Office declared Agent Trademark as abandoned. Abandoned is a different game that hasn't come out yet.

I mean, yeah. I agree with you there. Really, the only season of the Netflix Marvel stuff that I didn't like at all was Defenders. The Defenders was really bad. That was really disappointing.

Ja, ich bin mit dir, dass dieses Artikel uns nicht viel anzutun. Diese News gibt uns nicht viel anzutun, außer von Spekulationen. Aber Spekulationen sind manchmal sehr lustig zu machen. Und wenn wir über Rockstar sprechen, da sind wir. Der Bär bringt uns zur Spekulation-Station. Wenn wir über Rockstar sprechen, gibt es viele Gespräche, die wir hatten.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Acquires New Studio! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.03.25
Es gab eine Gespräche, wie GTA und wie GTA sich geblieben ist. Ich meine, im Laufe der Jahrhunderte, aber besonders seit GTA 5 mit Online. welches GTA 6 das teuerste Videospiel der Welt sein wird. Vielleicht eines der größten Videospiele der Welt, wahrscheinlich eines der größten Videospiele der Welt.

Es wird also eine Konversation darüber führen, wie dieses neue Studio, das jetzt Rockstar Australia genannt wird, Wie passen sie zu diesem Puzzle? Ich mag es, wenn du die Idee einbringst, was ist, wenn wir mehr Remixes machen? Was ist, wenn wir verschiedene Spiele machen? Was ist, wenn, ich werde es da rauslegen, obwohl es wahrscheinlich nie passieren wird, was ist, wenn ein weiteres L.A. Noire?

Battlefield Labs is a place for us to test concepts and experiences we're excited about with you, our players, according to EA. We want our community to play a key role in the future of Battlefield, and this is an opportunity for many of you to do just that. This is an unprecedented moment for Battlefield, it added.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
We'll start by testing the pillars of play, like core combat and destruction, then transition to balance and feedback for our weapons, vehicles, and gadgets, ultimately leading to where all these pieces come together in our maps, modes, and squad play. And yes, we'll be testing conquest and breakthrough, the heart and soul of our all-out warfare experience.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
But Battlefield Labs will also be a place to explore new ideas and fine-tune and improve Battlefield pillars, like our class system, assault, engineer, support, and recon, to create deeper, more strategic play. Players can register now for the chance to participate with initial invites set to be distributed to a few thousand players in Europe and North America.

Over time, EA plans to open testing up to other territories and tens of thousands more users. Four internal EA studios, which the publisher is collectively referring to as Battlefield Studios, are building a connected universe set in modern day. DICE is responsible for its multiplayer component. Motive is working on multiplayer maps as well as single-player mission content.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Criterion is mainly focused on single-player, and Ripple Effect is creating a new experience for the series. On top of that, I'm going to bring in a couple paragraphs from Eurogamer, Tom Phillips, saying Criterion will return to racing in the future.

Quote, "...the Need for Speed team at Criterion are joining their colleagues working on Battlefield," Zampella said in a statement to Eurogamer Today. As a company, it was important to us to take the last year to listen to our Need for Speed community and use their feedback to create content for Unbound.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
With an increased understanding of what our players want in a Need for Speed experience, we plan to bring the franchise back in new and interesting ways. A lot to unpack there. I'm going to start off with Mike. Mike, you're the Battlefield person in my life. Bless, I love Battlefield. How does this strike you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
It seems like they're taking this in the same direction as they have with the new Skate game, as far as getting into the audience's hands early.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Well, that's where I come in, is I see what you're talking about, and I see the vision. I think the thing that I wonder about is, is this over-investment into Battlefield? Like, it feels like Battlefield for the last decade feels like it's been living in the shadows of its former competitors, right? Like, it used to be Battlefield versus Call of Duty.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
back in the day right Battlefield 3 would come out and it's like oh man like really is a fight here of which franchise is killing it which franchise is better this year right and like Call of Duty just took the ball and just fucking ran with it and now it feels like that's dominating everything and now things have changed where there's that there's Apex there's Fortnite there's so many others I'm naming different kinds of shooters but
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Like there has been a transition into so many players, so many successful players. And then also everything is free to play. And so even just like in terms of monetization, the field is different. No pun intended. I'm intending my puns. I'm intending my puns.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
So now that things have shifted so much, it feels like the last few Battlefield games, like post, I'll say Battlefield 1, because I know it seems a lot of people love Battlefield 1. But post that, it feels like they're trying to chase a former glory that seems like it's not sticking as much as they'd like to. And this seems like a, hey, we're putting all our cards, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
All our cards on the table. Like, we are investing into Battlefield, having all these studios work on it. Like, does that make you... What's your take on that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Mythic Quest continues to be awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
I like the direction of the season more than I like the direction of last season. Me too. It's like, okay, we're back to it. I like where we're at. And also, it's the continued thing of, man, I feel like they watch KFGD. Straight up, man. Riding the show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Can I ask a controversial question? Lay it on me. If this succeeds, if the next Battlefield comes out and it is the best Battlefield in the last decade and everybody loves it and it gets the millions and millions of players that they wanted to have. Sweet. Does it, like, what's the Dark Knight quote of, like, you either die a hero and live long enough to see yourself become a villain?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
At what point is it, like, we're just not going to get a Need for Speed anymore from Criterion. Like, we're not going to get a, like, the EA Motive games that they're making because they're working on the Iron Man game, which is going to come out, right? But, like, at what point do all these studios just turn into Battlefield studios?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
in the way that Call of Duty... Call of Duty has, like, seven studios working on it. Only if it slaps. But that's, like, mega slaps, and yeah, you're in that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
But, like, that is kind of, like, the two situations I see of either it fails and, like, cool, there's a bunch of layoffs, and then, like, these studios go back to doing, like, their own things, or it succeeds, and all these studios are now Battlefield Studios, and we don't see...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
They didn't market it. They didn't market it at all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Yeah, if you're unfamiliar with Mythic Quest, right, it is an Apple TV show. It has the homie from It's Always Sunny. Is it Rob McElhenney? Yes. Rob McElhenney from It's Always Sunny, along with, like, Danny Pudi from Community. Yeah, and quite a few people you might recognize if you watch a lot of comedies, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
What the hell happened? And I mean, that's where I look at this story and I wonder of... Like, is this a result? Like, is a criterion working on this battlefield a result of, yeah, Unbound not performing in, like, their last two titles, maybe not performing as much as EA would have wanted out of it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Is this a, again, the shifting tides of the industry sort of thing of, oh, man, all right, we need guaranteed successes. And Need for Speed right now isn't a guaranteed success, especially with how they're releasing them nowadays, right? Like, is this a all-hands-on-deck, boom, Battlefield is what it is, we're going to make this a success, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Otherwise, we don't know what we're going to do here sort of thing. I hear what you're talking about, Mike. Yeah, of course. You need people to work on something that's going to get the money back. I just worry about, is Battlefield the one?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
My thing is, I think it can be the one. Make it free to play. I don't know if $60 or $70 is the way with these kinds of games anymore. Maybe for the campaign, you can charge for a campaign, but like the multiplayer element of this, if it's not free to play them, what are we doing? You're not going to get people away from Fortnite or these other games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
But the whole premise of the show is that it's a comedy that takes place in a video game studio that is essentially Ubisoft. It's Ubisoft if Ubisoft made World of Warcraft. Yes, exactly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
you are looking at Battlefield as the IP because Battlefield has had the biggest peak out of all of these, right? And I think right now it is a thing of how do we reach that peak again as opposed to looking at the space and going, yeah, like what if we invested either in a Titanfall or like make a Titanfall thing, but call it Apex. Like call it Apex because Apex is your big shooter IP right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
And I think you can find ways to double down on that in ways that I think excite people a little bit more. But yeah, I think they're chasing after Battlefield because it is the only... first-person shooter IP, I think that has ever been able to go head-to-head with a Call of Duty. Outside of, like, I don't even know if I'll put Medal of Honor back in the day in that bucket. Probably not, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Today's stories include a PlayStation State of Plays rumored for next week, the Bioware layoffs are worse than we thought, and our first look at the next Battlefield.

Like, I think Battlefield was the only one, and they keep trying to chase that. And I think that's worrisome. Like, I don't know if that's going to work to tip to everything Tim's talking about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
And so, like, they get into, like, a lot of interesting scenarios of, like, things you deal with making live service games and just games in general and, like, creative versus business and all this shit that, like, it's a lot of talking points of KHD distilled down into a really good sitcom. Yep. And this season is starting off with a bang.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
So we'll see how it goes. We'll see. I'm going to bring in a couple of super chats in. Gary III writes in and says, I think Criterion and DICE don't exist in five to seven years because of this decision. Battlefield will never hit the numbers to justify the cost of four studios.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Yeah. And then Volk Dasher. Actually, I'm going to skip Volk Dasher for now. There's another one from Trent Therrison who says, would love to see a strong return from Battlefield. It'd be amazing. It'd be amazing. And I'm rooting for it. I'd love to see another big first-person shooter be one of those. I think if you're putting four studios into it, this shit better hit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
This shit gotta hit or else we're in trouble. Or else we're in very big trouble. Mike, thanks so much for joining us, man.

Street Shadow writes in and says, Gummy Bears wasn't leaked now. It was reported during the Bungie layoffs last year that the project was transitioned to Sony and a new team at Sony, along with 100 or so Bungie devs joining Sony. Thank you so much for that, Street Shadow. We got more Super Chats, but we'll see if we can get to them at the end of the show for now.

Let's move on to story number three. After Dragon Age, the Veil Guard layoffs, Bioware has under 100 employees. This is Paul Tassi at Forbes. There's really no getting around the fact that Bioware is in dire straits at the moment, now at the end of a decade of three missed opportunities to create new classic RPGs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Now, a new report from Jason Schreier at Bloomberg says that after layoffs and permanent transfers to other EA studios, Bioware is now down to less than 100 employees to finish Mass Effect 5, which still has an unknown release date.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
This comes after a bizarre statement from Bioware this past week that the full studio wasn't needed for the stage development of Mass Effect 5, which is not an uncommon practice for many games at a certain stage development, but this was different, given that in doing so, Bioware was permanently shrinking in size.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

moving moving many devs over to elsewhere in ea but the statement totally masked a number of layoffs possibly dozens mainly focused on the dragon age the veil guard team reportedly the studio has shrunk from 200 employees around two years ago to less than 100 currently um the tweet or the blue sky post from jason shrier reads after the release of dragon age the veil guard dozens of bioware employees were told they were temporarily assigned to other projects within ea this week a twist

Yeah, right? You know what I mean? Yeah, that's actually kind of wild to think about it that way. But yeah, this is one where I don't have much more to add after kind of talking about the previous story about this one last week. But everything you mentioned there did make me just think about all of the EA IP that they have and how... tough it has been to see them not be able to capitalize on it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
It seems like there's been struggles in ways where I'm like, man, but you're EA. Not only do you have so many sports titles that continue to generate revenue for you year over year, but you have access... They're not enough anymore. You have access to Star Wars. You have access... You have, you know, Battlefield. You have Dragon Age. You have massive... Like, big, big IPs.

And Game of the Year winners. And Game of the Year winners when you look at things like It Takes Two, right? Like, even Jedi, right? Nominate all the time, right? But... It's pretty wild to see. You have access to so much, but that isn't doing it. Like, what is the formula that's not working here? Like, what is the thing? What is the misstep? Is it just over expectations?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Is it the fact that when there's any dip in revenue, the whole ship just gets shaken up and, like, you can't handle just a dip because, you know, yeah, like, there's less players or people aren't as engaged in video games because, like, there's not the, like, stay-at-home thing.

Story number four, the Sleeping Dogs movie is in development and we're hearing Shang-Chi star Simu Liu is set to play Weishen. This is Wesley Yenpool at IGN.

Sleeping Dogs was first released in 2012 on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, and tells the story of Detective Wei Shen as he infiltrates one of Hong Kong's notorious triad crime syndicates. While it failed to meet publisher Square Enix's lofty sales expectations, some things never change.

Story number five, Fallout New Vegas and Horizon Zero Dawn lead writer John Gonzalez returns to Obsidian. This is Matt Wales at Eurogamer. John Gonzalez, lead writer on Fallout New Vegas and Horizon Zero Dawn, has announced his return to Obsidian after 14 years elsewhere in the industry, but not, he suggests, to work on Fallout New Vegas 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Gonzalez originally joined Obsidian in 2008 after a two-year stint as lead narrative designer at Ubisoft. He was only with Obsidian for a little over two years, but his impact as lead story guy on the hugely beloved Fallout New Vegas was significant. He was responsible for its quest and most of its dialogue, introducing characters such as Mr. House and Yes Man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
After that, Gonzalez spent two and a half years at Monolith Productions, working as a lead narrative designer on the acclaimed Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor, and in 2016, he made the move to Guerrilla Games, where he served as narrative director on the hugely popular Horizon Zero Dawn and its sequel.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Since then, he's worked on a number of smaller projects, including his ultimate video game novel, God Mode, and now he's come full circle. Gonzalez announced his return to Obsidian in a brief post on LinkedIn, and his updated profile confirms he's officially joined as the studio's new creative director. As to what he'll be working on, that isn't yet known beyond vague allusions to exciting times.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I think I am, my perception of Ghost of Yotei has been colored so much by Ghost of Tsushima, where for some reason, I'm like, summer. It's going to come summer. But I think that's just because Ghost of Tsushima came out in like July in 2020.

And so, like, I don't even think I even thought of it coming out in the fall, because I think I assumed that the flow of it would be maybe Ghosts of Yotei, July, August, and then Death Stranding 2 comes out October, November-ish, if it does.

He did, like, a last-minute celebration. And so I went, drank up until 2 a.m., right, closed out the bar. And then on Sunday, I was like, all right, I got to get things. Like, I have planned out what my groceries are.

Yeah. Let's start talking about it. Let's start promoting it. Get it into people's hands. Let's start doing previews, hopefully. Let's find the ways to promote this thing in a way that we didn't do for Concord. And then fair games, we'll see. I think right now don't bundle those into the same thing. Like, give each of those maybe its own time and, like, try to build one at a time.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
I mean, I care about this project because I fucking love IO Interactive and what they've done with Hitman. What do I think of the name? I'm not sold completely on it yet, but I think it could grow on me. I think at first blush, and this is a me problem.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
immediately i immediately think of infamous first light it's all i'm like oh let's like it just does a weird thing in my brain that like now when i see that title i automatically think of that other game that's gonna fade with time of course i'm the i'm probably like one of five people that have that problem um i know and i'm one of them too all right nobody's getting away from this how dare they how dare they insult fetch this way and steal the name sucked up
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
It's real fucked up. I'm excited for what this reveal looks like. Bear, if you can bring back up the silhouette, because the question I want to throw back at you now is, what are they hiding with the silhouette? Oh, I know. Bear knows. I already have a good guess. Do you think, because where my conspiracy brain goes, is there like an actor that we know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
You were ready for that. That's fucking awesome.

How are you doing? How's your weekend?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
How many of us do you think had a James Bond prediction? Because I definitely had a James Bond prediction.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
I was thinking the same thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Does this look like Rahul?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
For me, that's like another thing with the silhouette, right? Even if it's an actor, even if it's not like a recognizable actor that we know that's being revealed for the role, I think even if it is just a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
James Bond that we haven't seen before whether it is somebody with different skin color or somebody that just looks different than you know Daniel Craig or like the Pierce Brosnan or like the James Bonds that we know I think that enough is exciting enough to like you know keep the character as part of the reveal have the character like have the character be a part of the oh man
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
I'm glad we built it. For the words new era, I love those words so much for describing this because I think that comes with a lot of things. It's what you're talking about as far as being able to define what IO Interactive's James Bond is. But I think with that, for me, era implies...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
franchise that implies series that implies 100% it does we just don't we don't want to be one and done with this we want to like carry the flag for what this version of James Bond is going to be for the foreseeable future for us and I think with that When you think of previous eras of James Bond, they've always, I won't say always, but most of the time have been connected to a movie actor.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
They've either been you're playing as the Pierce Brosnan one or you're playing as the Daniel Craig one, right? I think there have been rare times where you're playing as an original James Bond. I think there was like a wee one where you're going through the different eras.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Yeah. That was like the one James Bond game they've made where you're playing as an original Bond. But here, if you are, as IO Interactive, making the IO Bond, I think with that, that comes with a lot of things you need to do because then you kind of have to create your own not your own universe, but I guess your own story, your own like line of this is what this bond is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
This is what this bond is doing. And so like, and that could even flow back into gameplay as far as like, well, you're used to getting the first person games for the most part. There've been some third person, right? But like for what we know I owed to be doing with hit man, right? Like you're going to redefine a lot of what it means to even play as James Bond itself.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Or Josh Peck. It's funny because, like, out of all the places where technology has advanced, I feel like face recognition for, like, video game cameras is the one thing that's, like, never come around. I've been seeing, like, a lot of Google VO on TikTok, you know, like, the AI stuff. It's fucking ridiculous how good it is, like, how, like, impressive it is technically.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
We've made so many strides, but the camera shit for video games is not taking one step forward.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
If I had the work ethic, I would have came in an hour early and made, like, a bracket full of actors. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
It does. Which has me very excited. What I did over the weekend was play a bunch of games, kind of like trying to dive into my backlog. It's funny because I went this weekend, I played Hollow Knight. I actually started that on my trip on my Steam deck to my trip to LA last week.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
bring back up the silhouette what are we doing i don't see any of these people honestly you want to know what i don't think i don't think i don't think it's going that out of pocket i'm like we're doing our own game and he's american what's fucking thor's actor's name hemsworth yeah i see hemsworth here and i know this isn't hemsworth but like that's when i see the silhouette that's the only person who i can like fit in it and i know it's not it so like i think maybe the silhouette is just here to throw us off i can see when we get the final actor they look nothing like like what if this is actually the villain
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
But I think he could turn it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
I feel like Ben Star could portray a Sephiroth if he wanted to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
I did, though. Don't put Baby in a corner. I'm excited to see whoever this is. I mean, do you think it could be Ben Star?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
But I feel like Rahul is our, like, the pick. Yeah. Like, Rahul is, like, who we're like, oh, we could see him playing a James Bond, which I could also see Ben Starr playing a James Bond. But, like, I feel like Rahul... It's too nice. Ben star would shoot me. I'm sorry. He's the, when I, I don't associate James.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Do you know what it said? I'm bond up with, do you want to know what it is? It's the fact that Ben star is also funny. Like he's, a good-looking man, but he's also funny, and we've allowed the funniness to corrupt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Good-looking, but I can't make a joke to save his life.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
I saw him trying to dunk on Tamor, and I was like, you see this? Making fun of his Trump software, and I was like, I don't know, man. The punchline isn't there. You need Alana to elevate the humor for you. It's fucked up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
The last, like, three to four weeks, I've been in L.A. every single week. Yeah. And, yeah, I feel like I've just not been on shows as much as I usually am. But that has given me time to, like, just be on my Steam deck and play different things. And so, yeah, I've been playing Hollow Knight. I started playing Half-Life over the weekend. I also played the demo for Dispatch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Yeah, Legends of Tomorrow is where I stopped. Oh, this is what we're crediting him for is Legends of Tomorrow and not Doctor Who. Rip Hunter was great. Speaking of Doctor Who. I was thinking about the most recent Doctor, Nguti Gatwa. That's obviously not his silhouette, but I was like, I would have loved to see him portray a James Bond, possibly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
I don't think James Bond is the kind of character that you let people create a character for.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
And for the opportunity that you have as I interactive to set yourself apart for like storytelling and what you want to do with that. Right. Like not that you can't obviously can tell amazing stories with original characters. But I think there's something different for when you have a recognizable. All right. James Bond. We can tell our James Bond story here. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
I think that's the one thing that was missing from Hitman is obviously Agent 47, recognizable, iconic, all these things. And those games had stories, but the story was far from the great thing that people loved about the Hitman recent games, right? It is the gameplay. It is the stealth. It is the amount of variety that you have and how you can play those games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
I think this is IO's chance to have that plus... A really good story in their game that people will remember and care about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
That is actually a really good point. I know we're talking about a lot of movie stars, but it is James Bond. This would be a character that you do have to pull to get a movie star in.

Hear me out. Car me from the bear. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do a British accent. What is he? What is he? Willy Wonka. Wait, was he Willy? No, everybody said he should be Willy Wonka.

James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
I never put that together. There's so many great photoshops of him in the purple suit with the hat and shit. That's really funny.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Yeah, I'm trying to, like, stream a bit more consistently. So as an excuse, essentially, to, like, dive into my backlog. Yeah. Because we've had this top 100 game thing that we've been preparing for. Sure. And funny enough, we've already submitted our list now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
But for some reason, after submitting the list, I was like, all right, now I'm going to play the games that I was actually going to fucking try and play for this list. And so, yeah, I've been going through these games. But yes, during the weekend, I picked up Dispatch and I played the demo. Have you gotten to check out the demo yet?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

That's crazy.

James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
What?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
How much of this do you think we're going to get for The Witcher 4 as far as the frequency in which we're seeing the marketing for this game being tied to Unreal Engine? Is this like, did Epic throw just a bunch of money at CD Projekt to go, hey, every trailer, we're just going to make sure we're highlighting that this is Unreal Engine 5. I'm surprised we're seeing this show up again this way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
it's very beneficial for for both sides especially for epic like i think one of the things that was the most like interesting things for that original witcher 4 reveal trailer was that you know the text that was like oh this is running in like a future unreal engine version or whatever i forget the exact wording but it was something along those lines
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
And I think we see that and we're like, oh, damn, that's cool. You know, The Witcher is kind of, you know, they're showing us, like, this future look at how games are going to look like via The Witcher 4. That's fucking awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
And to see it pop up again now, it's like, oh, you guys clearly have, like, shaking hands and being like, yo, we're going to prop each other up in this relationship, which makes a lot of sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Are we... Is it going to feel like we're... Is this a GDC talk where it's like, we're going to be excited? We look at it like, oh, like... That's my thing. It's like, there's no way they're going to show us... systems and stuff, right? It doesn't feel like this game is... I feel like for that, the game would have to be less than two years away. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
For a game that feels like it's early and we have access to CD projects, all of their timelines as far as where they're at. Chat, remind me of where they're at with Witcher 4.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Because I think it might just be in production. They just switched the other day. Witcher 4... Because, depending on where that's at, like, that could inform, yo, if we're in a place where we're ready to really talk about what we want to do with The Witcher 4, systems-wise, weather systems, lighting systems, all that stuff. Production. Production is a seven months ago. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Like, that'd be cool to get, but, yeah, you're saying as of seven months ago, that doesn't feel like we're in a place where we're going to get a deep dive into this thing, because... Why? But then also it's CD Projekt, and CD Projekt has been very good in recent years about being as transparent as possible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Yeah. And I don't know how it's funny. I rewatched the trailer after I played the demo and I played the demo a second time. I played this demo twice because the first time I'm playing it, I start the demo and I'm in the cut scenes and I'm like watching the story play out. And I'm like, oh, this is fucking awesome. The the animation quality is so good. Like this game is has such good presentation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Is that... I'll ask you this question, right? Sure. Is, is that exciting for the Witcher 4 fan base? Is that the right foot to lead off with in marketing of the Witcher 4? Or should you like, would you have preferred, would you prefer for them to like play it closer to the chest and have whenever we see the Witcher 4, be it a big trailer, a big reveal, a big thing, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
But I don't think it's not something for like the Witcher Reddit to be like, oh, we're going to now theorize based off of this. A hundred percent.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Fair enough.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Do you believe in this mission statement? See, that's the tough thing, is I want to, and I do. Hi-Fi Rush, I think, fits the bill. It's something that's unique and fresh, especially when you want to talk about it within the action game genre. Like, you know, Hi-Fi Rush in terms of gameplay, right? It's an action game. We get millions of action games. People love action games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
That's kind of mainstream, right? But what it does with art style, what it does with scope, right? It's like a tight seven-hour experience. What it does with the music gameplay and all this stuff really does make it fresh, really does make it something that stands out and really, I think, was sort of the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Yeah. I want to just watch this this show or this game as like a Netflix show or as an Amazon show the way I do Invincible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
I think that was the sharpness that was felt in people's hearts when this studio was shut down by Xbox. It's like, really, this studio that did something really cool, really fresh, and really different, this is the one that you're shutting down. So, like, there's part of my brain that reads that last part and goes, ah, that's just marketing speak, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
We remain dedicated to the creation of growth and of distinctive and new IPs. Ah, that's something that every studio says. That said, from Tango Gameworks, I do believe it, and I am excited to see what they bring to the table because I hope that whatever their new IPs are, have that same level of freshness, same level of standout ability that Hi-Fi Rush did.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
But then there's also the side of me that's like, all right, Krafton bought you. Is Krafton looking... Oh, no, no, no.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
yeah um the choices feel very telltale and i like the writing i like the characters like this has this world has personality to it and then they threw me into this management sim where it is all right you have eight heroes that are essentially like suicide suicide squad style like you know they're criminals but they're now enlisted as heroes but they're also kind of bad people but like you know they're trying to make a do a good thing right so
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Let's talk to fucking Striking Distance Studios and see how independent they feel. But, like, Insomniac is independent. You know what I mean? Like, they're independently under PlayStation. We can just use the words however we want to now, everybody. Tango Gameworks is independently under Crafton, if you think about it. Same with Bungie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
But yeah, there's the part of my brain that's like, all right, you're undercrafting. Like, is the high-fire rush and new game thing the, all right, one for us, one for you situation of this new IP that they're working on is something that needs to be a moneymaker so they can actually justify their existence under a big corporation?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Yeah, I think the thing I wonder about with Krafton as well, right? Like, oh man, I'm on their website and I thought they had less studios. They have more studios than I thought. They have lots of studios. Because Krafton came out of PUBG Corp, right? Like, PUBG launched, they grew Krafton over that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
And we saw, oh, the Dead Space game that we played and we liked a little bit more than other people. Callisto Protocol. Yeah, Callisto Protocol came out under Krafton. And like, Game let down a lot of people, but I would say at the very least, at least that game came out and it was a full single player. It was what they promised it to be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Even if it was like a seven, but then it was that problem, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
It's still around.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Yeah, like the point I wanted to make was that, like, you know, crafting...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
in where they're at as a publisher right are they on that come up level of oh we're buying buying buying and like now we have the money to like sustain and then they're going to hit that point of downfall but I think you're right as far as like well Callisto came out it didn't do as well as they wanted it to and now that studio has lost leadership and like it doesn't feel like we're definitely not getting a Callisto 2 right like I would assume yeah I'm hoping that that doesn't happen when Tango Gameworks but also yeah like we're in this weird place in the industry where
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
sink or swim, like make a banger and make a bunch of money or look like, look over your shoulder.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I hope so. I mean, I don't think so. I don't have doubt in that. But yeah, I mean, kind of funny games in chat. Sometimes you still have to look over your shoulder after making a banger, which is also what Tango Gameworks has to do. Fair enough.

You have these heroes that are like Z tier essentially that you're sending out on these different missions because you're looking at this map of the city and then you have like different things happen that pop up. So like you'll get an exclamation point that you'll hover over and it's like, all right, my son's balloon got stuck in a tree. My balloon!

James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Yeah, I mean, I think that's a great idea, and I'm fascinated to see what that's going to be. Is it going to be, yeah, like a God of War-style game, but in just a D&D world? I would think that speaks to an audience. I am also fascinated, though, at the same time that I would have thought that, like, D&D video games in general... And maybe this is... I'm speaking out of turn in chat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Let me know if I'm wrong. I don't think that D&D video games in general would be a bigger thing than what they seemingly are, right? Like, I feel like Baldur's Gate kind of has the sauce. And then, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
The D&D fan base is growing day by day somehow because it feels like it's already... There's already so many people who I know that are into D&D and tabletop role-playing games. But with all of the podcasts and Dimension 20 and Critical Role and all these things, I have multiple different friends that are part of different friend groups that are inviting me to their D&D groups.

Yeah, I think that's a really good point, right? Like, if I wanted just a fantasy RPG, like, there's so many I can run to, right? But when I think of D&D, I am thinking the mechanics and, like, rolling the dice and all those permutations.

how much outrage do you think you'd be seeing right now oh my god yeah right it'd be a disaster right it'd be a huge disaster yeah let's keep on the playstation topic with story number two bloodborne 60 fps mod targeted by sony dmca takedown this is ian walker at polygon all the way back in 2021 a prolific modder and researcher from software games named lance mcdonald released his magnum opus a 60 fps mod for bloodborne
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Now, almost four years later, Sony has made the unfortunate decision to issue a DMCA takedown, forcing McDonald's to stop publicly providing access to the patch files. Quote, On February 21, 2021, I created and released a patch for Bloodborne, which makes the game run at 60 FPS, McDonald's said on X, on January 31st.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Quote, today I received a DMCA takedown notification on behalf of Sony Interactive Entertainment asking that I remove links to the patch I posted on the internet. So I've now done so, end quote. Gary, have you been following the Bloodborne 60 FPS stuff?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
This was a point of conversation for kind of funny last year because the one and only Andy Cortez, who is Bloodborne obsessed, bought a PS4, modded it, so he could play Bloodborne at 60 FPS through this patch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
So, how do you feel about PlayStation going after this patch?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
I do want to correct myself. I believe it was on PS5 is where you can play at 60 FPS with the modded PS5, not with PS4. And to your thing, Gary, of ship a patch, I think the complicated thing comes back to a few weeks ago, Greg interviewed Shuhei Yoshida after Shu finished his time at PlayStation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
One of the things they talked about was like Miyazaki being busy in that and like, you know, them wanting to play well with Miyazaki.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
And so to your point of ship a patch, right? For PlayStation, I don't think PlayStation can ship a patch because From Software is the developer of the game. They would have to go to From Software to be like, hey, ship a patch for your game. And to that, Miyazaki's like, yo, I'm working on stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Yeah. I mean, this happening now, I think the timing is weird because the patch has been around for a second, right? The patch is not like this is a brand new 60 FPS patch. Hire this guy. Right? I mean, maybe. Lance McDonald also, I think he's also, I don't know much about Lance McDonald, but he seems like he has stuff going on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Step bro, I'm stuck in OBS. Also, if you're wondering why Gary's here, there was a whole story that was told to the live audience, but hey, you know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Yeah. Here's the thing. This happening now makes me wonder if there's movement happening with an official 60 FPS patch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
This would be a slam dunk. My thing is, PlayStation knows it, Miyazaki knows it, FromSoftware knows it, right? Like, Bloodborne is a special video game that I think over time, since 2015, has only grown more and more in popularity and the cult following of it. People have been asking for this for years and years and years.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
I think all the needed parties involved know what they have on their hands in terms of how much a Bloodborne either patch or remaster or remake... I was going to say, a PS5 remaster is maybe what they're... That's probably what they're holding out for. Yeah, and I think... But I think it comes down to what is the bandwidth of parties involved, right? Like, for a remake, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Bluepoint, they just got their project canceled, right? Like, Bluepoint is looking for something to do. Oh, man, it'd be really interesting right now if Bluepoint started work on a Bloodborne remake. I think that'd be such a slam dunk. Now, if...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
playstation miyazaki from software are like oh man we can't find the agreeance to do this okay well what about a remaster let's make this simple let's take maybe a nixis or a uh firework studio a full remaster though sounds like something that would require even more miyazaki's attention because he would definitely want to like yeah be all over that i would think
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
And that's where I come down on, okay, well, then we talk about a patch. And then it is more from software, I think, than PlayStation to put out a patch because that is their video game. And I think we're just in a weird loop of what do we do with Bloodborne in a way that makes sense and in the way that we all have bandwidth for.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
I think this happening right now might mean that possibly there could be some movement. At least maybe that might be my copium. That might be me just praying and hoping.

I love that you're lying for me. Gary showed up early, right? And there was a whole hubbub. Kevin and Mike were freaking out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
And we're back. And I'm going to bring in some super chats for you. Benny B. Good writes in and says, birthday text, Kev, you and your porn are doing great. Tristan Leon writes in and says, don't let Kevin run the narrative.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
I saw what I saw, Kevin. You didn't see shit. I wish I hadn't seen it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Why is Gary on Games Daily when the schedule said Mike? Of course, we always explain it every single time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Daniel writes in and says, let Kevin enjoy his content. He put content in quotes, which is interesting. Oh, Skuma Dealer says, bless and old Greg is one of the best host combos. Apparently you're old Greg. I'm old Greg? I think you're old Greg. How does that work? Dexter Schwarzler writes in and says, don't talk video game news, just have an awesome chin wag. I don't know what a chin wag is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Conversation, because your chin is going up and down. Oh, I like that. Man, I love the words that y'all come up with over there. We have some good ones. Y'all be coming up with some good words over there. We invented the English language, you know. A chinwag. Yeah. Dingus McSwag writes in and says, bought the premium edition of Avowed. That hypecast pushed me over the line. When can you review it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Love y'all. More hypecasts, please. Great content. I can't tell you off the top of my head or if I even know when we're going to review Avowed, but do look forward to a review coming at some point. I'm also hyped on Avowed. Okay. Epic Open World writes in and says, Alex from Digital Foundry skeeted three days ago asking where the review code was. They did not send code early.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
They knew it was broken. I believe that's them talking about Spider-Man 2 on PC. Okay. To which I'll say, I think usually PlayStation doesn't send code for PC games until, like, the day of. So I actually don't think that is abnormal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Yeah, Kevin, it seems like you're projecting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
All right. I call it like I skeet it. AK writes in and says, what do y'all think Miyazaki is working on right now? I mean, isn't he working on the online Elden Ring thing? Oh, Elden Ring Night Rain? Yeah. I don't know if he's on that. But, like, I'm sure he's involved.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
You're not wrong. What the fuck is going on? You're not wrong. You're absolutely right. I would think that he's just working on a new Souls-like, right? It could be Elden Ring 2. Elden Ring 2? Yeah. Go back and do Demon's Souls. Go all the way back. I think PlayStation technically owns Demon's Souls, so maybe you would have to go through with it. What about Dark Souls?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
I don't know. What's the difference? Here's the thing. Bloodborne 2 would be the most exciting thing. It would. Okay. But I don't think they'll make Bloodborne 2 because I think at this point, From Software has a big enough audience to where they want to continue to be multi-platform. And I think Bloodborne 2 would have to be exclusive to PlayStation. Okay. Got it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
So I think realistically, the most exciting thing they could be doing is Elden Ring 2. Right. Or something completely new.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Yeah, I would love maybe a spiritual successor to Dark Souls or Bloodborne.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
I think an Elden Ring 2 would be such a slam dunk. I've had conversations with people on streams and stuff. I forget if there was a quote or something from Miyazaki saying that an Elden Ring 2 wouldn't happen, but it seems like a lot of people are convinced that an Elden Ring 2 won't happen. And to that, I say... It will. At some point, you're going to get Elden Ring 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Elden Ring made too much money. Elden Ring 2, I think, is what the bean counters would want to say. Here's the thing. I view it in the exact same way as Shogun. Where Shogun on Hulu came out, season one came out, it was a fantastic show. And everybody kept saying, they're not going to make a Shogun season two, though. Shogun, it's a one and done. That's what it's going to be. And then guess what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
The commercial case for doing it was undeniable. I think it's the exact same thing with Elden Ring. The commercial case for Elden Ring 2 is too strong. It'll make too much money. You cannot not do Elden Ring 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Yeah, I was like, I'm not in the mood. That's what I said.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
I don't think it moves Miyazaki, but I think it moves the people above him, right? Like, they're still owned by Katakawa, right? Like, there are people investing in that company.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
I think they then look at him and say, all right, take part of your studio and have them work on Elden Ring 2 and you do whatever you want. Right. I think somebody is going to make Elden Ring 2, even if Miyazaki is not involved. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
But then, yeah, I mean, to the question of what do we think Miyazaki is doing next?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
You think I'm going to go off on tangents? The real reason is that it's a jam-packed news day, or it's a jam-packed news day and a jam-packed content day for us. And so I'm trying to keep the train on track. I'm trying to make sure that we get out of here in a timely fashion. And it's not just you. It is Mike, and it is me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
That's a good question. The only cases I can think of are things that are ongoing. So, like, World of Warcraft. Right. I don't know if there's ever a World of Warcraft 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Yeah. And so, like, I think a lot of them are like that, where it's Fortnite, right? I was going to say Call of Duty, but Call of Duty has a sequel every single year. I guess you get what I mean, though. Like, those games are ongoing games, usually. Like, as long as it's making money, then you don't need a sequel. Yeah. But, like, if it's a single player, like, Elden Ring is a single player.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
People are saying Minecraft. But again, Minecraft's an ongoing game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
It's a standalone game. And they keep making Minecraft spinoffs. Yeah, Dungeons. Dungeons was Legends 1. Legends was another one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
And, like, Elden Ring, like, we already have an Elden Ring spinoff, right? Like, we're already getting Elden Ring Nightwing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Yeah, and I don't think we're done with Elden Ring. Like, Elden Ring Nightwing is not going to be the last time you see Elden Ring.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Bloodborne's numbers aren't Elden Ring's numbers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
I think there will be a Baldur's Gate 4. It's not going to be from Larian Studios, but somebody's going to make a Baldur's Gate 4. That's the thing. Somebody in chat said it's not all money, man. I regret to inform you it is. It might not 100% be money, but it is mostly money. At least 70% of it is money. Money drives business. This is a business.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
The three of us on one show on a jam-packed news day, we're going to go for two hours, and I couldn't allow that. But I'm glad it's me and you, one-on-one. I get to hang out with Gary.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
I don't know what to tell you, but yes, it is driven by money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Yeah. I saw somebody in chat brought up Half-Life 2 and Portal 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
And this is back to the money conversation of the reason why we've not gotten the Half-Life 3 or the Portal 3 and the reason all that stuff stopped during that era is because Valve found something that was making them more money. Yeah. They found a bigger piece of gold that they wouldn't mine for.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25

Season 5 will run from February 5th until May 30th, at which point the game will go offline and will be delisted from the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store.

Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
No. Cause like, I feel like that's my favorite Dean. I want to be deemed from community. Cause every episode he comes in with some shenanigans. You never know what he's going to be wearing.

All online features will continue to be available until Season 5 concludes on May 30th at 9 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, the statement reads. At that point, there will be an option to play Multiverses offline via the local gameplay mode, either solo against AI opponents or with up to three friends.

After logging in, a local save file will automatically be created, connecting your PlayStation Network, Microsoft, Steam, or Epic account, allowing you to enjoy the game offline with all earned and purchased content moving forward. Real money transactions are no longer available in the game as of today, but players with remaining Gleamium currency and character tokens...

Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
can continue to spend them on in-game content until the game goes offline on May 30th. Players will not be refunded for any Gleamium or other content purchased with real money. This decision was not made lightly, a message on the game's FAQ page reads, Quote, and are incredibly thankful for the support of the multiverses community throughout this journey.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Your passion and enthusiasm have been unmatched. End quote. Gary, multiverses has come to an end.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
I interchange. Smash Bros., probably.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
You don't get why LeBron James is fighting Bugs Bunny.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
You are so spot on, Gary. You didn't want me on the show, bless you. That is the most spot on way to put it. You open up the multiverses character select screen and it makes zero sense. Granted, I think Smash Bros...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Smash Bros., I think, has gotten to a place where you do look at some of those characters and go, oh, man, I can't believe Persona or Joker from Persona 5 is hanging out with this guy from SNK. But at the very least, they're all video game characters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Like, what... Oh, we own Game of Thrones. Put Arya Stark in there. Yeah. We're not that far... We weren't that far away from Zendaya from Euphoria being put in there as a character.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Yeah, like, you could have gotten... You would have gotten the character some succession in that thing. Like, they... The rhyme or reason to why multiverses can work on that side of things, on the crossover side of things, didn't make sense. Like, cool, yeah, it's novel to see LeBron and Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, like, fight. But, like, it's weird also.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
And then, like, you're not speaking to an audience. And the way that, even if I'm going to veer outside of Smash Bros., I look at something like Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. And at the very least, I get excited about Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl because guess what? Growing up, I watched a fuck ton of Nickelodeon.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
nonsense my other thing on the other side of this talking about the gameplay side i think the one thing when it comes to smash clones that i think all these companies underrate is just how good smash brothers plays none of these games have come even remotely close the thing is that why play anything else when you can just play smash bros smash bros is so high imitations
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
And I think that's the big flaw, right? I think you're spot on as far as the crossover aspect, but the gameplay aspect has never lived up to Smash Brothers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
RIP Multiverses, though. I had fun with it for the first few months of it being out, and I wish they were able to sustain that, but yeah, I think it's another one of, yeah, Smash clones are tough to do when Smash Bros. already exists.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25

starting with our number one. Spider-Man 2 debuts to mixed Steam reviews amid serious PC performance problems. Why does this happen every time with these PC ports from PlayStation? We're going to talk about it. This comes from Syed Ahmed at IGN. Spider-Man 2 on PC was shaping up to be surprisingly performant once its system requirements were revealed.

Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
However, the Nexus-developed port has debuted to a mixed Steam user review rating with many players complaining about technical issues. Currently, 55% of Spider-Man 2's Steam reviews are positive. Quote, "...despite having a high-end GPU and running the latest NVIDIA drivers, 5.66.36, the game frequently crashes," said one RTX 4090 user. Another read, quote, end quote. Quote, end quote.

Lighting doesn't load in some cutscenes. Those same scenes run at seconds per frame. Audio desync issues up the wazoo. Freezing, stuttering, and just about every other performance issue I can think of. I'm going to get a refund for now because frankly, there's other stuff I could use $70 for right now. End quote.

Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
The main issue appears to be that the game's graphics controller crashes frequently, even with users on higher-end PCs. According to one reviewer, the error reads, "...a problem has occurred with your display driver. This can be caused by out-of-date drivers using game settings higher than your GPU can handle, an overheating GPU, or an error with the game."

Spider-Man 2 PC Problems, Bloodborne 60 FPS Takedown - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.31.25
Please try updating your graphics drivers or lowering your in-game settings, end quote. That's where I'm going to pause on the article. I did get an email this morning. It's funny because I got the email before I even saw these issues. It was an email I received from PlayStation that says a new hotfix version 1.31. is now live on Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC.

And, like, at launch, you're going to have these issues. The thing that I don't understand is how this keeps happening every time. And you, like, it's not like it is a... 0.01% of users are having these issues, right?

Do you think it's a thing of, hey, like, Nixis or whoever, right, is like, we're making this port, but we just don't have the facilities to be able to test across the wide margin, even though many third-party games come out on PC and tend to work fine?

i don't know pc is just not a huge priority for sony it's funny because i feel like a bit of an afterthought when they do these ports i do think that it is a like it is a priority though right because like they have not made the commitment but they've consistently now ported their biggest games to pc and it seems like that is doing very well for them especially coming out off of helldivers 2 last year where helldivers 2 was the fastest sounding playstation game of all time and half of it's on pc

Okay, Monster Hunter bringt Geld, was bedeutet, dass sie wahrscheinlich das Geld nutzen können, um einige der anderen Spiele zu unterstützen. Was war der Strategie-Aktion, der rausgekommen ist?

Monster Hunter Wilds wurde am Freitag veröffentlicht und sobald die PC-Version in die Hand des Publikums war, haben die Spieler Probleme mit Optimierung, Leistung und mehr beantwortet. Das Spiel, das von Fans über die Leistungsprobleme ausgeliefert wurde, hat fast 1 Millionen konkurrenten Steam-Spieler am Anfang der Nacht gespielt.

Nun hat Capcom die Probleme beantwortet und hat ein paar Vorschläge an die Fans gegeben, um ihre Leistungsprobleme zu lösen. A post on Monster Hunter Status, the franchise's official support account, reads, "...if you're experiencing any initial issues with Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam, please try updating your graphics driver, turning off compatibility mode, and then readjust your settings."

In the linked post on the Monster Hunter Support website, Capcom has suggested several steps that could fix the issues, including updating drivers, adding the games folder and files to a player's antivirus exception list, and more. Mike, have you seen any of this going around?

Mike, I'm going to jump in to an additional VGC article. They had a different article where they went a little bit more into detail about some of the things. They say the publisher may be less pleased by the initial reaction to the PC version, which currently sits at mixed reviews according to the game's Steam page.

While many appear to be loving the game, others have been complaining about PC performance, with some claiming that even with relatively powerful setups, they're struggling to get smooth gameplay out of it. Quote, I understand that new games are becoming more demanding and people are expected to upgrade, but this is absurd, wrote reviewer Coda, who has four hours of gameplay on record.

Quote, I'm aware this isn't the first instance of new games having poor performance on launch, because the same thing happened with World, but it feels inexcusable at this point. I am by no means saying that the game is bad, but in its current state, you should probably consider waiting for a more stable release. End quote.

That Twisted Metal guy, who also has four hours on record, wrote, This game is so horribly optimized. The last launch I had an experience like this was Cyberpunk. FrameGen will give you your FPS with horrid ghosting, upscaling Hammers CPU while barely touching GPU. 1080 offers 10 to 20 FPS increase over 4K without FrameGen. Oh nein. Oh nein.

Mike, when this happens, do you... I guess, hold it over to the developer. Is this a thing that you think is avoidable? What is the right move when it comes to these PC releases that we're seeing consistently not have as good performance across these different

Monster Hunter Wilds DOMINATES Steam Charts Despite PC Issues - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.28.25
Der Grund, warum ich das sage, Mike, ist, weil es ein langer News-Tag ist. Oh, du kommst mir voran. Aber ich komme voran, weil Barrett heute Morgen zu unseren Desken kam. Er war so, Mike, Gott sei Dank. Es gibt dieses neue Anime. Es heißt Lazarus.

I do think that the turnaround on how quick can those fixes be, how much can you communicate with your audience as far as the specific kind of fixes that they're looking for and the stuff that you are prioritizing and the stuff that you think are going to fix the most for the biggest, I guess, priority of people. You need to Get in front of that and communicate very actively in these moments.

Monster Hunter Wilds DOMINATES Steam Charts Despite PC Issues - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.28.25
I honestly think that's the thing I look at more in these cases than anything else. I think the rough thing as far as, well, why release on PC? Why are you releasing day and date on PC if the PC stuff isn't up to snuff? But then you go back to story number one, those million concurrent players, it's that thing of, well, we're going to get that money, so...

Und ich denke, das ist ein guter Anruf, wenn man sich fragt, wie viele Leute sich das beeinflusst. Wenn man sich die Anzahl der Reviews anschaut.

I don't think I've ever, and granted, I have a platform here that I can just talk into a microphone and y'all are going to get my opinions, but for the most part, if I'm playing a game, if I'm playing whatever game on a platform, there's not really a high chance that I'm going to go and review it.

Monster Hunter Wilds DOMINATES Steam Charts Despite PC Issues - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.28.25
Now, if I'm somebody where I was looking forward to this game for years and years and years, and I pick it up day one, and it is not working well on my SKU, and it ruined my fucking Friday that I took off of work, guess what? Maybe I'm going on Steam. Maybe I'm going on Steam and maybe I'm making my voice heard here. Which you should, which I think is very valid.

Monster Hunter Wilds DOMINATES Steam Charts Despite PC Issues - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.28.25
I look at the mixed thing there as far as how those reviews have come in. And I do look at that and I am like, oh yeah, it's probably a very small amount. In the grand scheme. Not a small amount as far as it's 10 people. No, I would imagine if the number is 50,000 people, that's a large number of people that are experiencing issues.

Yeah. Von dem, was ich von Dragon's Dogma 2 und Monster Hunter Wilds gespielt habe, ist es nicht so, als wäre ich hier bei Horizon oder Ghosts oder Open-World-Games zu spielen. I think it works. There are frame things that I've experienced in both Dragon's Dogma and Monster Hunter Wilds, where I'm like, man, I wish this was way smoother, but outside of that, the worlds, I think, look beautiful.

There's a lot going on. They're very systemic, too, both of these games.

We were like, alright, we're giving Zachary zero space to breathe, because if we let Zachary build, he is gonna decimate all of us. And so, it got to the point where, like, Zachary has nine life left. The other three, right, the rest of us, we're doing really good. Like, we got a lot of health. Like, after we eliminate Zachary, it's gonna be a pretty competitive game between the three of us.

Yes. And so, like, the boycott conversation gets deep and very technical as far as, like, the purpose of boycotts, when to boycott, all that stuff, right? Like, I'm very pro-boycotting, but I also think that a boycott has to be targeted. We can't just boycott everything because then, like, nobody's participating and, like, those efforts, I think, are going to waste.

I don't think it matters if it's a state of play or a PlayStation showcase. Yeah. The way this news hits me is, of course, we're getting something. I think the fact that it's June, it's like, all right, cool. We're not usually getting the end of May thing that we get from PlayStation every year. But PlayStation has not missed the beat for a summer season.

It's either a State of Play or a PlayStation Showcase, but they've always been able to hit that May to June timeframe. I think, more often than not, the State of Plays have been fairly impressive, even compared to some of the PlayStation Showcases. Of course, PlayStation Showcases usually mean you're getting more first-party announcements, and so we have that level of anticipation.

But the last big State of Play we got, they announced Soros, the follow-up to Returnal. So they're not above announcing first-party stuff at a State of Play. But a state of play means you're not getting a Naughty Dog game. You're not getting a... Sure, but that could still happen at a summer game fest. We've seen Naughty Dog stuff pop up there. And then also, I believe it was the last showcase.

And so I look at this and honestly think like I've been of this mind for a while that, that I think when it comes to, are we going to do a state of play? Are we going to do a showcase? It really is PlayStation freestyling and going, all right, how, what is the level of pomp and circumstance that we want to launch this thing with?

Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Yeah. And like, I think this is an interesting tone setter, I think, for the future award shows, right? Like the Game Awards and other stuff that's coming up because I predicted, I think Barrett or maybe Andy for like the Game Awards predictions predicted that Metaphority Fantasio is going to take the whole thing, take Game of the Year. Barrett's shrugging. I think it was maybe me and Andy.

Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I'm a member of the gaming elite. We're going to talk about this with this because Black Myth winning Game of the Year, right? I feel like we're talking about what ends up being a popularity contest at some point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Yeah, I think it's good. I don't think it's good enough for a Game of the Year in the year that we've had.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I think good enough to where I understand a nomination, but I think winning over things like Astro Bot, over things like Metaphor Re-Fantasio, over Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
And Bellatro for that matter, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
But I can see it being nominated. I wouldn't nominate myself, but a nomination, I totally get. A win, that's where I'm like, all right, I guess. But I think when you're talking about something that is fan voted, I understand because this was one of, if not the most popular game of the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Oh, man. Gary got me an Apple TV. Holy shit. Look at this. Here, camera, if you want to zoom in. Holy shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Astro Bot. I was going to say Astro Bot. Easily Astro Bot, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
It's just a great video game. You can't argue against it. And like, here's the thing, right? It's been fun following Game Awards reactions because there's been a particular reaction with Bellatro where it was announced as a Game Award nominee and a lot of people were like, oh, fucking card game? Oh, why would this be nominated over XYZ things? I haven't even heard of this game. It's bullshit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
It's the same bullshit applied to Vampire Survivors a couple years ago. But then days later, the same people will then come out and be like, hey guys, I played Bellatro. I've seen the light. Yeah, of course. Give somebody Bellatro and be like, hey, just play it. I'll give you an hour. Just play for an hour. Guess what? They're going to play for five hours.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
They're going to come out of the cave and be like, oh, I get it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Before you have an opinion, play the fucking game. Well, here's where I come down on Astro Bot being the least offensive is I think it both hits as far as it being a game that people...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
recognized for the kind of game it is oh it's a third person platformer or yeah it's a third it's a third person platformer 3d platformer is what i mean it's a storied genre right story genre is coming from playstation first party it's very polished it is technically a fantastic game and then also creatively it's suitable for everyone right everyone for everyone it's just an easy game to like like what's not to like it checks out it's beautiful it checks all the boxes yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
which is why I think it's the most inoffensive game of the year winner. But I look at something, like if I'm taking that, right, and I'm looking at Black Myth, which I will put on the side of, it is a game that presents really well, gorgeous cut scenes, gorgeous visuals, has combat that is all the rage right now, as far as it being the more difficult souls-likey, you know, leaning type of thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Black Myth Wukong has all the characteristics of Game of the Year as far as the type of game it is. Bellacho has the fucking quality. And that's where I... I think that's where, you know, we come down on Astro Bot being the least offensive is that, like, it's the best of both worlds. You look at it and you're like, oh, that's something that could be Game of the Year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
But yeah, I think Bellacho has the stuff. It backs it up. Black Myth Wukong, I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Yeah, so I didn't even finish reading the article. So the article continues, Indie favorite Bellatro won two awards. The result is something of a shock in the Game of the Year race. Though popular with gamers, Black Myth didn't review as well as some of its competition, while the majority of its huge sales success comes from the Chinese market.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Unlike other gaming awards, most categories in the Golden Joysticks are 100% determined by public vote, so Black Myth's win indicates just how activated its fanbase is. The game's solid action gameplay and cutting-edge, spectacular visuals have clearly wanted broad support. The Golden Joystick Awards is a venerable British institution that has been around in one form or another since 1983.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
And I was mainly scared about falling down the Apple pipeline of getting one of these. Well, I worried about that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
The first Game of the Year winner was Jetpack by Ultimate Play the Game, the studio that would later become Rare. That's right. The Golden Joysticks is owned by Future, which publishes outlets like PC Gamer, Edge, and GamesRadar.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Crazy how that was Game of the Year that year. Like, video games have grown and, like, evolved so much to think that, like... But Jetpack, kind of fun, though. I mean, it was fun. Like, Donkey Kong, that's a good game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
We don't put enough respect on Rare as a studio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Like, they've been around forever, and yeah, they were putting out classics back in that era.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
They went into the Super Nintendo era and made the Donkey Kong Country games, and, like, they made Killer Instinct and more. You then hop into the N64 era, and they were, like, they're the one developer that I think kept up with Nintendo themselves as far as quality releases.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Yeah, like, N64 is carried by Nintendo games and Rare games. Like, you remove Rare from the equation, the N64 gets a lot more boring, right? Like, you miss out on, yeah, like, Banjo, GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong Racing, RC Pro-Am, all this stuff. So, shout out to Rare. And also, they're still doing their thing nowadays. They're still doing their thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
They're still being successful with Sea of Thieves. But yeah, like going through, I'm not going to read all the categories because there's a lot of categories here. But yeah, best audio design went to Astro Bot. Best soundtrack went to Rebirth. Best storytelling went to Rebirth. Helldivers 1, best multiplayer game, Gary. Yeah, and best console game as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Because the only thing I have right now is my Amazon Fire Stick. And I like it, but there are things every now and then where I'm like, man, the connectivity between my Fire Stick and my Alexa app isn't as strong as I'd like it to be. It doesn't listen half the time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Oh shit, look at you. Holy, how long does that take?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Oh yeah, that's awesome. Congratulations Gary, that's really cool. What are you playing then, on PC?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Does it bum you out that you're not getting the Platinum while you're on PC?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Um, so yeah, Black Myth Wukong wins. I think, I titled this episode the first game of the year, mainly because the golden joysticks is, like, I think the first, like, major, oh, this is one of consequence here. And, like, to go back to the earlier point, right, Barrett made the good point that, like, this is fan voted.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Um, and so, like, you know, that is a very big determining factor on how this wins, this game of the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
But I don't... I didn't want to tell you about the 10%... We treat that fan base like they're bigger than they are. Like they have big waves as far as... Shifting shit in the industry.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I mean, it's not dangerous territory. Like, fuck them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
like camp right like that's not what i'm trying to say but i also don't think you can put most people who are a fan of wukong in that camp yeah like that's kind of where i'm coming from where like for me i mean i think there's a contingent within it right sure and it's it's the thing where you know you have a a you have a glass of water this is a crazy metaphor i'm gonna give but you have a glass of water and like putting a few drops of poison in that glass of water guess what taints the whole thing where to where now like a lot of people don't want to touch that fucking glass of water
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Yeah, you see that with even Rick and Morty. There are so many IPs out there that might be good IPs, that might have great stuff to it. I'm somebody who, I like Stellar Blade a lot, but the same exact fanbase that latched themselves on to Black Myth to fight against the woke, guess what? They did the same thing with Stellar Blade.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
But most people who like Stellar Blade probably don't give a fuck about what those people are talking about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Yeah, I don't know. That's one of those ones where I don't know if I necessarily agree with. I think you're right as far as those people are going to be pushing for it. I think we're overestimating the power that those people have. I think Black Mesa is going to get that push, but I think that's also because it sold 10 million sales in its first three days.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Yeah, like I think that's an apt comparison right like I here's the thing Gary I guarantee you that the people The people that are online that are like, I like Black Myth because it's not woke and it doesn't give in to the woke media and all that stuff. Those are the same people that are far right that are voting for Trump.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Today's stories include the Golden Joysticks Award Black Myth Game of the Year, Black Myth Wukong is getting surprises later this year, and a cool new action RPG just got announced. We'll have all this and more because this is Kinda Funny Games Daily. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Friday, November 22nd, 2024. I'm one of your hosts, Blessing, Addy Oye Jr.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
And to be clear, I'm not saying that that is most Black Myth Wukong fans. Just like it's not most Stellar Blade fans, right? I love Stellar Blade.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
to be clear that's the point I'm trying to make is that I do think that this comes down to one a gigantic audience in China and also a gigantic audience around the world who doesn't just live in China right like the game has a lot of players and a lot of people love this game and the point I make to it is the fact that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
A lot of times it's a pop popularity contest more so than even just a quality contest. I think you need a bit, bit of both for like game of the year and shit like that. Right. But like, I think black myth, when you're, when you're talking about popularity has it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
And yeah, there's a group of people that are toxic that are like, you know, using this as the flagship title for anti woke and fuck those people. Yeah. But I do think that it comes down to popularity.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I forget the exact question you asked me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
That's the thing. I'm answering to the fact that is it the best game of the year? And I'll say confidently, no. That's a game that for me who played, I guess maybe half. I think I got halfway through chapter three. People watch me on stream play it, so like, whatever the last stream was that I did with Andy, that was the DLSS thing, that's like where I dropped off.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
So I think that's probably around maybe 40% of the game. For what I played, if I was going to put a number on it, I'd be like, oh, this is an 8 out of 10, maybe 7.5, like somewhere around that. It's a good to great video game. I don't think it's one of the best action games I've ever played, which for me is what I reserve to a 10 out of 10 experience. Elden Ring, like, you know...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
there is a straight up a game boy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Except for the God of War audience, you know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Now, I've also read a lot of the internet in the last week as far as people's reaction to this. And I think I've swung into the gray area of, man, a lot of people who I respect and see as agreeable people feel very strongly about this thing. And so like, I don't know. In one direction or split? It's split directions, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
And so I've kind of put myself kind of back in the gray area of like, all right, I can kind of understand why people are upset, right? Like mainly for the fact of, I think I think of the scenario where Elden Ring keeps getting DLC and guess what? Elden Ring keeps being game of the year. Now, I'm somebody who's like, I don't think it matters that much, right? At the end of the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
At the end of the day, game of the year, it's a subjective thing. It's voted on by who it's voted on, and somebody establishes the rules. So if Jeff Keighley is like, DLC is eligible, guess what? DLC is eligible, and that should just be it. If another outlet is like- Yeah, and then may the best game win. Yeah, may the best game win. If another outlet's like, DLC is not eligible-
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
then I also think that's okay, right? I'm like, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Exactly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Like, I would say yes. I think it's on par with those games. But, what's up, Barrett?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
But I guess I'm just on the place now where I don't care enough to make the argument that Erdtree should be nominated. Like, we should do it one way or another. I think it is just like, hey, whoever wants to make the rules, make the rules, and we'll just go by the rules.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I mean, you're right that, like, I think people are arguing around skews, right? People are arguing around technicalities. Shadow of the Air Tree could have dropped as a standalone thing, and guess what? Nobody would be mad. But I guess where I'm coming down on it, again, to the point is, like... Tears of the Kingdom is another great example. Don't tell me that's not just more Breath of the Wild.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
But it is 100 hours. But, like, I... Okay, where I come down on it is one, I can't care enough to argue with people about this. And then also, I think, and this is where I think, this might be a disagreeing argument, right, with us.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I think that when you're putting on a show, when you're putting on a thing, right, when you're making content, to some extent, you have to appeal to the people that are watching and consuming that thing. So if there's like half the people that are watching the Game Awards and they're mad that DLC is being nominated for Game of the Year,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Maybe you have to change it and be like, all right, cool, DLC doesn't get nominated anymore. Part of it is you have to appeal to your audience base, even if they're wrong to some extent. Even if you disagree. If it makes everybody mad, guess what? We have to change something.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
It happens all the time for best musical in college.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I mean, you can look at me and present Spider-Man, Miles Morales, and Elden Ring, Shadow of the Earth Tree, and I'll straight up tell you that Elden Ring, Shadow of the Earth Tree is like a newer... Newer is not the right term, but I guess like... Shadow of the Earth Tree feels more like a new skew. It's a more substantial... It's a more substantial, like, here's a content drop than Miles.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I think that's where we kind of evolved into.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
And that's not me trying to take away from Miles or hit on Miles.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Miles is great. I agree that Miles Morales is the best of the three Spider-Man games. But it's also, like, five hours of campaign versus Shadow of the Earth Tree that I'm still working on.

This one also has thumbsticks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I disagree. And again, I just don't think it matters enough for the internet to get up in arms about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I think so, yeah. That's how I feel, Gary. That's not how everybody feels.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
But it's not required. You know what I mean? It's not required.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I just want to say it because I know the people are fucking going apeshit over it, and I just want to acknowledge it. Like, really upset. And like, here's the thing, chat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
But I think people feel a way about, like, okay, but it's not like The Last of Us Part 2 won't boot up unless you've beaten Part 1. To me, that's a technicality.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Perry, don't let the audience know. I agree with you. I agree with you. But I just want to make them understand that I understand the argument that they're making.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I don't agree fully with it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And we're back with story number two. Blackmuth Wukong dev GameScience teases surprises for later this year. This is Wesley Yuenpool at IGN. The developer of Blackmuth Wukong has teased some surprises for later this year.

Accepting the Game of the Year award via video message at the Golden Joysticks, GameScience co-founder Fang Ji encouraged people who have yet to buy the smash hit action game to do so now. He then added the tease, quote, of course, you might have already completed our game. That's perfectly fine too. Keep following us, and there might just be some surprises waiting for you later this year."

Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
If it has, I'm going to be so surprised.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
What are these mystery surprises? Currently, speculation points to an announcement either around DLC or an Xbox release.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
An Urtree-level DLC, I don't expect, because I think that'll take years. That'll take multiple years. The fact that he's teasing this before the end of the year, or later this year. Oh, so maybe something smaller? I think it's going to be something small. I think maybe it's like a boss rush mode or maybe it is like one new area or something or one new chapter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
And hopefully they've already been working on it. If you told me that this is something they began developing on after release, I'd be like, oh, this is going to be the smallest thing. Because it came out just a few months ago.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Here you open up another can of worms. Because this is another one that had controversy to it, where I don't think people realized that this was a PS5 console exclusive until very close to the launch, because I believe it was announced as coming to Xbox, but then the Xbox version didn't come, and then people were... You think Sony stepped in and said, like, money truck?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
There were rumors that Sony did, but I don't... Yeah. Theories about that. I think that's a tinfoil hat thing. I think maybe it just wasn't ready for Xbox just as far as like having a right skew or like maybe it was Xbox Series S or something like that, right? Like I think it's one of those scenarios where they just couldn't get it running on Xbox yet and so they wanted to wait for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I assume maybe that's what they're talking about here.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
This might be something worth Googling, because I swear there was a quote from Xbox that was like, hey, what's up with Black Myth Wukong? And their comment was, hey, we can't comment on other deals that people have made. It was like, there was something weird like that that came up. I forget if it was Black Myth or something else.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Yeah, I don't see why it should be, because I mean...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Yeah. Yeah, I was going to say, worst case scenario, Series S might be the thing holding them back. And Xbox wants things to be parody between S and X. And they're not going to ever let you just release a game on X and not release it on S. I think this came up on Baldur's Gate. Sorry, this was Paul Tassi, not Shriver.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I think Phil or whoever high up there would sit down with Game Science and they would go, what are the features that we need to take out to make this work on S? I think you get a pared-down version, because that's what happened with Baldur's Gate 3, I believe.

Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
publishers is like uh on the scale of xbox and playstation knew how big black myth was going to be though it's the same it's legitimately the same exact scenario balder's gate so i think right now if if it was a series s issue which now like after being reminded of the the um like the Forbes article, but I think there are even other articles that are pointing to the same thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I'm pretty sure there was an exact quote from somebody at Xbox that was like, Hey, we can't comment on like other deals made by like, what's your, what's your gut right now?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I think in the next 12 months it'll come to Xbox. Um, and I think it'll be fun. I don't think the series, I think the series S version is going to come out and probably just be fine.

Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Black Myth kind of vibe. I'll probably compare. I mean, this is also my first time watching the full trailer. It has way more of a stylized look to it and it looks a bit quicker. So I think I would assume maybe it's a little bit more Devil May Cry-ish, but they say action RPG. You know what? I'm sorry to derail us again.

story right it is only half the story it is a part one but i think honestly i think it works out for what they're doing with it because wicked if you've watched the musical it is like a there's a clear cutting off point of like the first half and the second half right right like when you hit intermission you get into that second act and it really is like it almost already feels like a part two to the story yeah so i think it's true to what the like i think the movie is true to what the musical is and honestly if you're just going to keep the good parts of wicked into one movie

You're usually pretty good at that, aren't you? Yeah, in the last couple years, I've been falling off a little bit. It's because I underrated Janet Garcia. Janet Garcia is very talented.

Xanth, I'm sorry.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24

Like, I think it's a fantastic movie, fantastic musical, one of my favorites. Um, my favorite musical, but, like, one of my favorite movies at this point.

It was like 9.30 or whatever. And somebody's knocking on the door to deliver mail. And Barrett has to run through and get the package. Because I don't hear it. Because I have this music just turned up all the way in my ears.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Oh, no, it's going downhill. But I've also been listening to very loud music since I was 15.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I don't need that. I already know that my hearing's fucked. Is your hearing bad? Whenever I'm at a party, whenever I'm at a club or any place with loud music and people are yelling over each other or whatever to talk to each other, there will be certain moments where I'm like, oh, certainly they can't hear, people can't hear each other. But yeah, they can.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
And I'm standing right there and I cannot hear a word anybody's saying. So I know my hearing is going bad, but it is what it is. Like, you know, I'll do what I can to listen to Kendall Kamara at the max volume if it means I don't hear it in 10 years. It'll be it. I got to listen to it.

Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I mean, I do. I believe it. I believe the technology will be there, but I think the technology has to fit within, like, social circumstances. That's why I think, like, the flash screen television is ever going away, because, like, you need something to sit, like, you know, to have in front of you while you're sitting next to somebody else. Yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I feel like people aren't, I don't know when or if people can be at a place where you're sitting next to each other, both with, like, AR glasses on and watching the same thing. Like, just put up a TV.

Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
Xbox, I look at it and I'm like, I could use this as a weapon. Whereas the PlayStation 5, I look at this and I'm like, this is going to become sentient and take over the world. Barrett, what's up?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
A Merry Christmas. Oh, I'm so excited for whatever this is. For audio listeners, Gary here has a gift that he's just presented me, right? If I'm going to guess, I'm going to guess that this is some kind of really cool British snack.

Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I think it's a chubby. I would say the PS5 original is a chubby.

Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
You're behind my... I cannot even tell you how big a Neo Geo is in real life. Neo Geo was big. Did you ever see the cartridges? The cartridges were fucking bigger than a console.

Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
See, people in chat are saying what I thought, which is like the OG PS3. I feel like the original PS3 was huge.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong is 2024’s First Game of the Year - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.22.24
I think the PS5 is bigger by, like, size, but I do think the PS3 is heavier and denser.

Today's stories include, is Steam coming to Xbox? A split fiction movie is in the works and Adam Fall reviews are in. We'll have all this and more because this is Kinda Funny Games Daily. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Friday, March 21st, 2025. I'm one of your hosts, Blessing, Addy Elliott Jr., and joining me is the first Berserker, Ben Starr.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
In a blog post about Xbox, quote, opening a billion doors, Microsoft briefly revealed a new Xbox UI that looks a lot more console-like across multiple devices and even appears to list Steam games. After briefly posting an image of a new Xbox UI across multiple devices, Microsoft quickly removed it once The Verge inquired about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
The image has a new Xbox UI that can be seen on a TV where you can clearly see the Steam label listed. The same UI with the Steam mention is also shown on the tablet and handheld versions. While the image appears to be a mock-up with owned games listed twice as well as action-adventure titles, I don't think the Steam label here is necessarily a mistake.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Sources familiar with Microsoft's plans tell me the company is currently working on an Xbox app update that will show every game you have installed on your PC. That includes games from Steam and the Epic Games Store, and I understand Microsoft will label these games accordingly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
I'm told Microsoft is still in the early stages of this Xbox app update, so the company might never ship the feature to list all your Steam games, but this mocked-up image shows how they might show up eventually. Xbox chief Phil Spencer has also previously hinted that PC stores like Epic Games Store and Itch.io could one day arrive on Xbox consoles.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Ben, first of all, what consoles slash platforms do you tend to play on? Are you a PC person? Are you an Xbox person?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
I watched it. So I'm assuming Tim showed that, played that back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw it. I saw it and I went, oh, okay, cool. Because I did add it to the doc here and I was like, ah, Tim's probably already doing it and so I'm glad I didn't double dip. But I did watch it back like 10 times this morning. Wow, thank you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Which is, I think, fascinating. We've been talking about it for years now of the shift of Xbox, where they're going, it being more of a platform than just a box. You know, that is a talking point that I feel like we repeat every week on this show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
That said, I think getting to the place of seeing the blockups of, oh yeah, organized by your Steam games, even though you're playing on an Xbox platform, I think is... It's, at first blush, interesting, but then gets deep the further you go with it, right? I think at the first blush thing, I almost view it in the same way of... I can... There's a weird example, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
But I have Spotify on my phone. If I went to, I could listen to just local files on Spotify, right? And, like, I'm not necessarily using...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
I think is actually a really good future. If we're able to get to a place, because I think the big, one of the annoyances when it comes to PC as a platform is how everything is split up. There's Epic Game Store. Steam is obviously the most popular one that we're going to go to most of the time. But yeah, there's Epic. There's Xbox, right? There's itch.io. There's this. There's that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
And I think in a lot of cases, that can be a good thing because itch.io, I go there for a specific kind of experience. Yeah. right? But then it's like, alright, Epic Games Store, I'm only coming here for Fortnite. Alright, cool, the Ubisoft store, alright, cool, I guess I'm coming here for Siege.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
And then it gets to a thing of, at my PC at home, I have so many launchers installed, and my games are so split up between all these different things. If Xbox is able to simplify it to where, hey, if you're somebody who just wants to be in the Xbox ecosystem, guess what? We have made it so that you can boot up your Steam games through the Xbox ecosystem.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Yeah, just because I was like, this is such a, Ben, let me tell you, I admire the fact that You know, I became aware of you after Final Fantasy 16. Much of the gaming world, I think, became aware of you after Final Fantasy 16. And you've done the thing that I always dream of. It's the Eminem lyric of, if you have a shot, take it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
I think that's good user interface stuff, right? I think that's good user experience stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Ben, can I get crazy for a second?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Can I get, I mean, is that what we're doing right now? Can I get buck wild for a second? Yeah. Right. This is going to be me putting on my, um, you love it. You love it. I love my tinfoil hat. Have you got it? Take me to, I have a lot of tinfoil speculation station because we talk about Xbox. We talk about the shift. We talk about PC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
We talk about how, uh, you're leaning back right now for audio listeners. He is like, Oh dude. Cause here's the thing. I'm, I'm trying to make this conversation fun. Okay. Great. We talk about all this. Yeah, I need to lean back too. Ben's also leaning back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In Xbox, man, my phone's vibrating like crazy right now. I don't know what's going on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
In Xbox, shifting toward this more, hey, we're a platform. Yeah. There have been talks about, is the next Xbox hardware thing going to be more of a, hey, you can download Steam on here if you want and play Steam games, right? You can download different launchers and just play your PC games on your Xbox type thing. Mm-hmm. Is that a gateway to be able to play PlayStation games on your future Xbox?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Because PlayStation is putting their games on Steam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
You can play PlayStation games on your Xbox. Is that crazy to say?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
That's not how the lyric goes, but that's essentially the energy of it, right? You were put on the map, and then from there, you're like, I'm going to show the world who Peak Ben Starr is. Yeah. And you were just that over and over and over again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
It's also not... I guess... Not weird. I think it's one of those things where it's hard for me to imagine PlayStation lets that go through. So what is the line that's drawn?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
My hope would be that by the time we get there, where it is, okay, you can download Steam on your Xbox, PlayStation would stop looking at Xbox as such a direct competitor, where they're like, we can't allow anything to be played on Xbox.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Because I'm convinced it's going to happen.

The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
One of the announcements from today, right? FBC Firebreak, the new game that's coming from Remedy, is going to be launching on PS Plus Extra and on Xbox Game Pass.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
I'm looking forward to seeing what the future has been. Let's talk about the future some more. With story number two, a split fiction movie is in the works. A bidding war begins for the rights. This is Jennifer Moss at Variety. A film adaptation of split fiction, the hot new co-op game from It Takes Two developer Hazelight Studios is in the works, Variety has learned.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Sources at GDC in San Francisco have confirmed that the media company Story Kitchen, led by the same team that shepherded the It Takes Two game into a film project now set up at Amazon, is putting together the film's cast, writers, and director into a package as offers for the rights keep coming in from multiple top Hollywood studios.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Variety, which is on the ground at GDC this week, is continuing to monitor the bidding war with more details on the project to come. There's another one that we talked about as far as video game adaptations, video games can turn into TV shows, movies.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
This one I think is fascinating just for the fact that Split Fiction just came out, which I view more as, one, I think the game came out and had great reception, right? Especially great critical reception. But then also just the cachet that Hazelight has as a studio. I think no matter what, this was going to get adapted because Hazelight, that is that studio right now. They are in the spotlight.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Yeah. I think it's, it's funny because the, yeah, the IP as far as releases existed for like two weeks. It's not had time to like build a groundswell. We don't know what, in what two years when this movie comes out, Are people still caring about split fiction like that? Are we talking about the split fiction 2 being developed, right? These things are hard to predict.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
The thing I will say, in a little bit of opposition, is split fiction, I think, is a wonderful video game, but my main complaint with it is that I don't think the story does a great job of being about what it's about. Have you played split fiction yet?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
The premise of split fiction is that you have two writers, two story writers that essentially their minds get merged and you are going back and forth between their different stories. The problem I have with it is a lot of the time moment to moment in this game is that the stories that we're hopping into aren't good stories. They're good gameplay segments.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
and so you hop into a fantasy gameplay segment and it's oh I'm riding a dragon and then you hop into a sci-fi gameplay segment and it is oh there's the sun's exploding oh shit but they're not really getting into the stories that are being told and it feels like they're I hate to use the ludonarrative dissonance sort of thing right but there's a
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
a little narrative dissonance of, okay, these stories that we're hopping into are way more fun to play as video games than they are interesting as the storytellers that are diving into these things. I think if you're making a movie, you could remedy that. You could actually make these storytelling segments about people
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
actual interesting fantasy stories and actual interesting sci-fi stories and make it more about the writing and how that loops back into what these characters are going through because that's that's the one thing where i'm like i don't know if you nailed this in split fiction even though the gameplay is on is is is fantastic from beginning to end that's because it's a video game
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
What I think works about it the most, though, is when I see you, when I hear you in games, you're often these very serious, very gruff characters. We're going to talk about the first Berserker Kazan in a second because, of course, it is GDC week. That's the big reason why you're here, right? You're here showing off and talking about the first Berserker Kazan. Yep.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Good luck to the team.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Do you think there's going to be a bubble that bursts with all the video game adaptations happening where people are like, ooh, actually, maybe we shouldn't just adapt things because they're video games or because they're successful video games? Half of them are going to be cancelled.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
I mean, you're right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
I don't know. Yeah. I'm also like, what are we building to? If Split Fiction was a franchise, or if It Takes Two was a franchise, then I can kind of see the... you know, the business-y franchise synergy aspect of it and all this, right? I don't get a sense that there's going to be a split fiction 2. I don't get a sense that there's going to be an It Takes Two 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
I think they're probably going to make their next IP co-op game, which we're all going to be excited about and play, right? But if there's not going to be a franchise of this, do you need to turn both of these into movies? Or... It's the thing that I'm very curious about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Which I guess while we're here, we do have a clip.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Yeah. But now, I mean, the video game movies started getting good. They're great. And then they started getting so good that everybody's like, all right, now let's make bad ones again. Yeah. Let's just green light everything, which is going to lead to more bad ones. But hopefully, I mean, and I think surely it's also going to lead to good ones.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
The fact that we got a Fallout TV show, that was excellent. Yep. Hey, I'll take two bad video game movies or video game TV adaptations for one good one any day.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Yeah. What is special about this IP? What is special about this story? What is special about Metal Gear Solid or God of War? Or I think Last of Us is a good example of, all right, cool, you kept Neil Druckmann on the project, somebody who understands what makes Last of Us special to work on the Last of Us TV show with somebody who's talented in the TV industry as well, right?

I love that. That was fantastic, Ben. All right, it's time. Let's hop into story number three. Adam Fall, we got a review roundup for you. To set the stage a little bit, I'll read from the Steam description. A nuclear disaster has left an area of Britain in tatters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Adam Fall, a new survival action game, will see you explore, scavenge, craft, barter, and fight your way through beautifully recreated scenery in search of answers. Right now on Metacritic, it is sitting at a 76. On OpenCritic, it is sitting at a 77. Greg Miller has played some Attafall, so he's going to come join us for a second to talk a little bit about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Oh, you had to boot it up on the portal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
To set the stage some more, I'm going to read a couple of reviews here. I'm going to start off with Tristan Ogilvie at IGN. He gave it an 8 out of 10 and says,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
It presents a picturesque chunk of English countryside littered with alluring structures to pique and reward your curiosity, eccentric locals to meet, and absorbing mysteries to unravel, and uses classic iconography from British sci-fi and horror to consistently unsettling effect.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
In spite of some enemy behaviors that are occasionally less stable than a reactor in Meltdown, Atomfall is a compelling post-apocalyptic survival story that satisfyingly bends to your choices and discoveries no matter which direction you take.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
And I got one more from Nathan Warby at Dexerto, who gives a four out of five stars to the game and says, Adam Fall shakes off the Fallout comparisons and stands on its own as a captivating sci-fi mystery. The gripping central story and wonderfully realized setting makes it easy to forget about its shortcomings.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
And the lack of handholding is a refreshing change that other open world games like Elder Scrolls or Assassin's Creed should take note of. Greg pointed back at the computer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
I'll give you the rock, paper, shotgun. When they gave it an unscored review and says Adam fall looks and sometimes plays like a middling survival shooter, but it's passions truly lie in exploration and investigation. And it's much better at both.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Hello, Greg.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
I'm doing well. How are you doing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Now, what are your thoughts on Adam Fall? You wanted me to read that last one. Was that for a particular reason? Is that reflective?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
I don't really, even in the Steam description or even in the reviews, I don't see the words RPG thrown out as much. Survival action feels like more of the way to talk about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
And also, to be fair, they called the game Atomfall. Of course, people are going to compare this to Fallout.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
But the fact that you're in games like this, you're portraying characters that are super serious, super gruff, but you are a super goofy dude.

This is Evan Campbell at GameSpot. The Entertainment Software Association has unveiled the Accessible Games Initiative, which aims to help people understand accessibility features available in video games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
The U.S.-based effort came about from some of the biggest companies in the industry, Nintendo of America, Sony, Microsoft, Google, EA, and Ubisoft. The Accessible Games Initiative is kicking off with 24 tags. So far, they're categorized under four different features, auditory, gameplay, input, and visual, and then specified from there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
For example, there's a full input remapping tag, meaning the game offers the ability to swap button actions, joystick functionality, and other controls. This differs from the basic input remapping tag, advertising only buttons can be reconfigured. Other official tags include narrated menus, playable with mouse only, color alternatives, and large text.

These should start appearing on digital storefronts and product pages in the near future. Quote, tens of millions of Americans have a disability and often face barriers to experiencing the joy and connection that comes with playing video games, ESA President and CEO Stanley Pierre-Louis said in a press release.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Specifically, the Accessible Games Initiative website points out that 44.1 million US residents have a disability, with reportedly almost half of them playing video games. The ESA states that Amazon Games, Riot, Square Enix, and WB Games have joined the Accessible Games Initiative. Ben, this is fucking awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
It gives you the vibe of what they do with ESRB, right? Which is also an ESA organization thing, right? Of, hey, let's combine forces. Let's give people the visibility on what they can expect to experience in this game and hopefully use that. as encouragement for devs to include more accessibility options now that we're standardizing putting this on store pages.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25

The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
This is a shadow drop. I have played a little bit of Look Outside. I got the email about this quite a few days ago. It's really cool getting an email for a game where they're like, hey, this ain't announced yet, but you can get a review code. And I'm like, oh, really? So it is survival horror, but it's also a 16-bit RPG. Think like Earthbound or in any Final Fantasy, right? And shit is fucked up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Like the first thing that happens is as your character, you wake up in your room from having a nightmare and your neighbor's like looking through like a crack in the wall and they're like, hey, don't look outside. Don't look outside. And I looked outside. Just the scariest animation you've seen in 16-bit. You're saying this stuff. It is... This game is wild.

I've not played as much of it, because, like, honestly, I'll be real, I was playing it at nighttime, and I was like, I got it. I can't do this right now. Big mistake, bless. I can't do this right now. This shit would stress me the fuck out. Okay. It's being published by Devolver Digital, though, and so... If this sounds up your alley, I'll say look it up.

They better. South of Midnight has gone gold. Let's go. From Aftermath via The Wrap, there's a report Valnet has blacklisted freelancers who complained about pay rates. I'm actually going to make this required reading for you. The article starts off, we wrote about Valnet's low pay rates in a previous article about how underpaid freelancers are popping up in games journalism.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Today, new reporting by The Wrap shines more light on what's going on behind the scenes of the owner of the sites such as Game Rant, The Gamer, and DualShockers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
The rep reports that Valnet maintains a spreadsheet of blacklisted freelancers, which for 2025 contains over 400 names of writers barred from writing for the company for offenses such as posting Valnet rates on social media, calling rates abysmal, and suggesting Valnet put rates in job listings.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
I mean, yeah. Do you want to write a review for Game Rant? No, but will they blacklist me from talking about it and interviewing me? It's...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
okay fine whatever yeah i don't know thank god people are drawing attention to it i mean it's the sucky thing of where games uh media and games journalism is at where people are getting paid pennies out here and people can't even talk about the fact that they're getting paid pennies without being blacklisted from the websites that want to pay them pennies you know it's desperate it's a desperate attempt to basically try and control the voices but fundamentally you're trying to blacklist people who are very good at writing things so good luck to that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
But yeah, of course, First Berserker Kazan is a game that I, I don't know many of us, Andy, was looking forward to. Played the demo.

The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
It looks to be single player. Everything we just saw there looked like it was single player, so I'm assuming single player. That seems like it's very much going for the Doom-style combat in a cyberpunk world, which I'm all about.

Wie ist es diese Woche? Ich fühle mich, als wäre es eine große Woche für dich. Für uns.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Faszinierende Frage. Ja, weil Bluepoint ist auf der anderen Seite. Du sprichst von Days Gone. Es hat nicht so viel mit Horizon oder Ghosts oder was auch immer gespielt. Aber sie haben dann an einem neuen Ding gearbeitet. Es ist dann dieses Ding und es wird verabschiedet. Bluepoint, aber, ist ein Studio, das ich glaube, wir halten als, oh nein, sie sind fucking fantastisch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Sie haben ein paar Remasters gemacht, ein paar Remakes gemacht, aber dann kriegst du Shadow of the Colossus Remake von ihnen und es ist wirklich gut. Du kriegst Dämonen-Souls von ihnen und es ist unglaublich. Ich denke, viele von uns, zumindest diejenigen, die In tune with Playstation and what's going on in the inner workings of Playstation. You go, wow, I can't wait to see what's next for them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Especially when they announced that. I believe the wording was original content. Oh, I'm excited to see what that is from Bluepoint. We know that they have the ability to make something cool. Oh, it's a live service thing that ends up getting cancelled. Is that a studio that sticks around?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Is like when PlayStation looks at those numbers, looks at like the I guess, you know, the log of money, where it goes, how much it takes to make a game nowadays. Right. And like where all of the dollars and cents have gone with Concord getting canceled with all this shit going on in the last few years.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Ah, klar, klar, klar. Game of the Year.

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Do you look at Bluepoint and go, ah, shit, like you guys are at least four years away from your next game, like in the same way that with Xbox Live. Es war das Ghostwire Tokio, wo es war wie, okay, wann ist dein nächstes Spiel? Ah, es wird eine Weile von jetzt an. Na gut, wir müssen es irgendwo machen. Entschuldigung, richtig? Wie ist das? Endet das Bluepoint?

Es ist wirklich so. Es war die längste Woche in der Geschichte. Das, das, weißt du was?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Die Empfehlung, die ich bekomme, ist, dass es PlayStation ist, wie hey, wie irgendwann in wahrscheinlich 20, 20, 21, 2021, richtig, wie hey, ja, wir suchen für Live-Service-Pitches, wie diese sind die Zahlen, die wir gespielt haben. Du kannst viel Geld machen, Live-Service-Stuff zu machen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
People like heads of studios, right? Like them being creatives, but also being business people. You want your studio to do as well as possible. You want your studio to make money. That way you can fund your next thing. That way you can like, you know, be lifted up as a PlayStation studio. Get those resources.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Yeah, like if this is what can get us the success, if this is what can get us to the next level, that way we can then maybe after that make our God of War, make our Horizon or whatever it is. Like, yeah, let's get there. I want to... Wenn ich Hermann wäre, würde ich sagen, cool, Bluepoint, du machst den Bloodborne-Remake.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Hatten sie Demon's Souls in Miyazakis Augen genutzt? Oder aus Softwares Augen?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Ja, weil das wäre, wo ich denke, als Playstation, du remakest Demon's Souls, aber der nächste Schritt wäre es, sofort Bloodborne zu remaken. Aber ich erinnere mich, online, und das ist kein Chat von Software, das ist ein Chat von Fans, so wie ich denke, dass die meisten Menschen den Demon's Souls Remake liebten.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Ich denke, es gab die Hardcore Gruppe von Leuten, die sagten, ah, du hast dieses Ding missverzeichnet, oh Mann, dieses Asset repräsentierte dieses Kunstwerk, richtig? Wenn du jemand bist, der sich eingeschaltet hat, hättest du vielleicht Probleme mit dem, wie sie Demon's Souls interpretiert haben, wie die Artdirektion von Demon's Souls.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Ich weiß es nicht, aber ich könnte vielleicht von Software sehen, wie Miyazaki sagt, okay, cool, und vielleicht nicht unbedingt das lieben, aber es ist nicht in deinen Händen, du besitzt keine Demons Souls, du besitzt keine Bloodborne, aber Playstation will diese Beziehung, weil du willst, dass du vielleicht eines Tages sie verkaufen kannst, oder vielleicht kannst du Deals schlagen, Marketing-Promotionen machen, all das.

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Ja, ich wollte den Industrie- und den Playstation-Bereich betrachten, weil du zu Beginn davon gesagt hast, dass die Industrie-Probleme, wenn es um den Druck, den jeder gegen Live-Service macht. Es ist teuer, Videospiele zu machen. Das ist ein Schiff, den wir industrieweit sehen.

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Aber dann möchte ich auch mehr darüber sprechen, und dann möchte ich auch mehr über den Playstation-Bereich sprechen, weil ich denke, dass es Elemente gibt, die hier enden, wo ich denke, dass es eine... I think this is just a bad concoction overall. Because when I look at the industry, I'm 1000% with you as far as like, damn, everybody's kind of struggling right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
But I feel like the PlayStation approach to live service has been particularly bad. And I think that is because of Vielleicht ist es nur so, dass alle in diese Richtung gehen. Oder es müsste mehr Bungies in der Welt sein, um Leute zu sprechen oder Leute zu orientieren. Oder du hättest eine bessere Vision.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Aber es fühlt sich so an, als ob die Anwendung war, IP zu nehmen und es live zu veröffentlichen. Und das funktioniert nicht. Gott der Kriege, live zu veröffentlichen. Wer fragt sich das? Wir hatten God of War Ascension, das war in Live-Service, aber es gab Multiplayer-Stuff und das war ein großer Druck. Und niemand hat gehofft. Und niemand hat gehofft.

Last of Us, so viel wie ich Faktionen liebe, ich brauchte nicht Live-Service. Ich hätte einen Modus genommen. In der Tat, wenn du mit Datamode startest, war ich ein bisschen traurig, aber ich war so, okay, cool, ich verstehe es. Du hattest nie die Möglichkeit, Last of Us Faktionen zu machen. Du hattest nie die Möglichkeit, so einen großen Druck zu machen.

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Du hattest nie die Möglichkeit, Naughty Dog zu machen, Last of Us Faktionen. especially Naughty Dog to do Last of its Factions, right? Like, Concord is another one where as much as, like, I like Concord, I thought it was a fine video game, it's not like the world was clamoring for another hero shooter, right? It's not like that filled a gap.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
I think you look at that and you look at a success like Helldivers 2. And Helldivers 2 feels like it was made with a vision. It feels like it was made with, like, Hey, es fühlt sich an, als gäbe es eine Leidenschaft da, weil sie Helldivers 1 gemacht haben und sah, wo sie es nehmen können. Und es war original. Es wurde gewünscht. Es war nicht ein Trend. Es war nicht ein Trend.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Und ich fühle mich, dass das ein großes Problem ist mit Playstation und ihrer Live-Service-Approach, ist, dass sie einfach nicht, sie haben einfach keine inspirierenden Ideen, wenn es um Live-Service geht. Der neuesten Witz, den ich glaube, wir hatten auf KHD ein paar Tage ago, war...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
ein Bungie, äh, wie ein ehemaliges Bungie-Spiel, das jetzt von einem neuen Playstation-Studio gearbeitet wird, oder von einem anderen Playstation-Studio, das ist wie ein Smash-Moba. Und es ist so, wer will das? Wer fragt sich das?

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Und ich denke, das ist ein großer Teil davon, ist so, cool, du machst all das, du verpasst ein paar Zeit, du verpasst ein paar Ressourcen, und, äh, es gab einen Blue-Sky-Post von Matt Kim gestern, als das kam.

IGNs Matt Kim. Er hat getweetet, also, Ghost of the Otei, Wolverine, Intergalactic, dann Playstation 6. And it's like, yeah, when you think about the PlayStation first party output, like, cool, we're not going to get a Benz Studio game by the end of this generation. We're not going to get a Bluepoint game by the end of this generation.

should have came out this generation from PlayStation First Party and the amount of time and resources that were just wasted into cancelled games and games that nobody's asking for.

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
why didn't we and i don't again this is there's a whole many things but like what about that single player idea we shelved that would have been done in two years that's a heartbreaking thing of like we could have done this and moved on and then we blue point turned around after demon souls and remade like it doesn't even have to be bloodborne right remade anything like remake a smaller game remake something like at the very least you're making more money than zero right you're making more money than like a canceled game whatever this gets into again where it's like i really feel like

And the infinite growth part is the part that I think makes even our conversation we're having right now very tough because if we do look at the alternative, it is, okay, all these studios, Ben, Bluepoint, right? Like worked on single player stuff. All these other studios too that had like their canceled projects. Locked in on making single player things.

Aber ich denke, das Problem ist, dass Playstation nicht eine Lösung hat, um mehr Geld zu benötigen oder mehr Geld zu wollen. Oder um herauszufinden, wie man diese Spiele fundieren kann, die 20, 30, 50 Millionen Dollar kosten. 200 Millionen Dollar.

Sie haben keinen Devourer Publisher bekommen. Wenn man sich den Tripmaster anschaut, der letztes Jahr rausgekommen ist, war es der Tweet, wo sie gesagt haben, wir haben dieses Spiel gemacht und niemand spricht darüber. Ich meine, du hast es gespielt und wir sind so, oh, das ist wirklich cool. Das ist ein fucking tolles Spiel, richtig?

Und dann vielleicht Babylon's Fall. Es sind ein paar Spiele von Fall im Titel, die nicht gut funktionieren. People are calling out For Honor. Warframe also has third-person shooter elements to it. Yeah, that's my thing. For Honor, that's more like a PvP.

That's not what you're saying. I'm talking about melee action. You're running around bashing things.

I mean, I guess we're live service. Who knows what we're getting into. That is a very specific format. Honestly, a God of War Monster Hunter, maybe there's something there, but I don't think that's what this was going to be. Who knows what it was going to be.

Was ist das Natürliche? Vielleicht ist es etwas, das wir nicht denken. Vielleicht sind sie, das ist meine Nachfolgefrage, richtig? Also, ich denke, wir können auf das stimmen, dass es etwas ein bisschen dynamisch anders sein würde, von God of War.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Also, meine Nachfolgefrage ist, wer ist das für? Wenn du ein God of War-Game machst, das nicht God of War ist, Why are you making that game?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Ich denke, wenn Horizon ein IP war, das ich denke, viel mehr für Leute hat, dann hätte ich es sehen können. Was hast du darüber gesprochen? Oh, ich habe das nicht gehört.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Is it that there are different classes and you can be the Kratos-Class or you can be the Atreus-Class or you can be the Freya-Class? Are you playing as different characters? If you aren't playing as those characters, I don't think people want that. And that's just my opinion, right? But I don't think people want that. You want to play as those characters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
So if you are playing as those characters, what is that story? How does that fit in the universe? I feel like you then get into a weird place of like... What is this game?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Aber auch das, ich bin nicht Kratos, ich bin nicht der Kerl. Und das ist das Ding, ich denke, wenn es sich darum handelt, wie man... ein gutes Live-Service oder ein gutes Spiel zu machen. Wenn du ein IP mit einer Idee teilst, muss diese Idee mit dieser IP funktionieren. Und ich denke, das ist das, worauf wir viele von diesen Cancel-Tipps kommen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Und die Sache, die viele davon haben, die wir kennen, ist, dass sie nach einer Review gecancelt wurden. Innerlich sahen sie es, saßen sie sich um und assessierten wirklich, und sie sagten, ah, das funktioniert einfach nicht. Wir haben schon lange daran gearbeitet, und das funktioniert einfach nicht, also lassen wir uns davon entfernen. Und ich denke, du weißt,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
There we go. Das ist das, was sie sagen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Es muss jemand sein, der sagt, hey, alles muss ein IP sein, was ich weiß, dass es schwer ist, PlayStation zu sagen, weil du willst Horizon drücken, du willst Gott des Krieges drücken, du willst Last of Us drücken. Aber diese Ideen kommen nicht zur Furcht. Wir kommen nicht zur Schlusslinie mit diesen Dingen, weil diese Ideen einfach nicht zusammenhängen.

Und da komme ich wieder zu dem Thema, ob es nur Wolverine, Ghostiote und Intergalactic sein wird. Ich denke, wir werden ein paar mehr hier und da bekommen. Aber ich denke nicht, dass wir so viele große erste-Party-Game für die restlichen Generationen bekommen werden. Ich denke, wenn ich jetzt auf der Playstation bin, könnte ich sagen, wir werden versuchen, die Basics zurückzukriegen.

Für unsere Live-Service-Videos, wenn wir das noch machen wollen, werden wir mit 3D-Studios partnern, die wissen, was sie tun.

But if you can get me that, if you can get me like the next... God, I always... It's funny because I always say Bluepoint. But maybe not the Bluepoint game, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
All these things that... Oh, I guess the NCSoft, yeah. Some of the things there, I'm like, wait for PlayStation 6, right? Like a new Gran Turismo? Like how long? But here's the problem. PlayStation 6 is like probably two to three years away.

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Und ich denke zurück auf den PS4 und das ist natürlich ein anderer Zeitpunkt, obwohl es nicht so lange dauert, aber es ist schon ein langer Zeitraum. Aber die besten Jahre des PS4 waren die letzten drei Jahre des PS4. Das alles hat sich wirklich hart am Ende gesperrt. Und ich glaube, das ist so, wie es oft passiert.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Am Ende des PS3 hatten wir Last of Us und GTA 5 und Bioshock Infinite in den letzten Jahren. Am Ende des PS2, natürlich. PS3 war bereits raus und du hattest God of War 2. Ja, also es gibt einen Ramp-Up, der meistens am Ende der Generation stattfindet. Maybe it doesn't happen this generation, but I think it still could.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
And I think that could do a lot for what you're talking about as far as don't lose ground, right? Like I think the biggest competition to your point that I think the biggest competition that PlayStation has, I don't even think it's with Xbox. I think it's with just people's time in general, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
It is with people finding interest outside of video games because the world has opened up and you can do things now that's not the pandemic. I think it is with PC gaming and Yeah, like younger generations being more exposed to Twitch-Streamers and YouTubers, so they're not even playing video games when they're just watching other people play video games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
But then, yeah, they are requesting PC stuff more often. I think there's way more competition now than just Xbox or Nintendo or whatever. It is everything. And I think you're right that you need to kind of
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
still prove that hey this is a thing that you need to have and i think that comes with having like the banger first party games like it needs to be this year death stranding and ghost of the ote i hope and i expect intergalactic to come out before the end of the playstation uh five generation i think you need maybe i think it's gonna do the same thing where i bet i bet it limps not limps that's like the last year i think it's like yeah we're dovetailing again kind of like what last of us 2 did yeah i think that's even that's fine right i think you just need

um den Leuten noch Wege zu geben, um zu sagen, oh, ich brauche eine Playstation. Aber meine Frage ist, ist das genug, um das mit der Prestige-Singleplayer-Stuffe zu tun? Oder ist das, wo die Live-Service-Stuffe kommt, oh, wir brauchen Leute, die in ihre Dailys loggen müssen, um sie auf unserer Plattform zu halten?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Ja, ich denke, dass ein Live-Service-Spiel gegen die Konkord-Treatment, ein DUDE zu sein, viel schädlicher ist als Konkord, weil man die IP ein wenig schädigt. Ein Verlust gegen die God of War ist nicht das, was du willst.

Ich denke, das Hauptproblem ist, dass es Until Dawn ist und das ist nicht, was Until Dawn ist. Es ist fast so, als hätte jemand die Rückseite der Box gelesen und gesagt, oh, das ist, was Until Dawn ist und dann einen Until Dawn-Film geschrieben, ohne das Spiel zu spielen. Das ist, wie es sich fühlt und das ist mein größtes Problem damit.

I guess the place that I immediately go to when I read this story is I hop back toward the last years of... Honestly, the last five years of this journey of PlayStation, it feels like once I joined Kind of Funny, around that time, maybe like 2021 or so, is when we got the news, like the PlayStation saying that they want to work on these live service things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
We have 10 live service projects in the works, yada, yada, yada. And in the last few years, we've seen so many cancellations. I had sent a tweet to myself. Let me see if I can pull it up. Somebody had tweeted a list of games Hier ist es. Es ist von Okami13 auf Twitter. Eine Liste von Spielen, die letztlich von Sony ausgelöst wurden, die im Live-Service-Bereich waren.

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Also, zu Beginn mit Concord, die rausgekommen ist, aber dann, zwei Jahre später, uneröffnet wurde. Das uneröffnete God of War-Spiel, das war das, was bei Bluepoint gearbeitet wurde.

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Ja, aber ja, der Bluepoint 1 ist geheimnisvoller Online-Live-Service-Spiel, den sie gearbeitet haben. Ich glaube, das war einer von denen, der mit den Nachrichten herausgekommen ist. Und ich glaube, als ich durch das Bluepoint-Ding oder Blumberg-Ding gelesen habe, habe ich automatisch festgestellt, dass es da drin war. Und dann, ja, das Rating, und ich war so, oh, nein, das Teil ist nicht da drin.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
There you go. So yeah, you have the unannounced Lifesavers God of War game from Bluepoint. Then you go on, you have the lastest multiplayer, that was cancelled, right? You have Spider-Man 2 multiplayer, which like, that one I'll give with a asterisk of like, that was never announced. We don't know how far along that was. That could have been just conceptual stuff, right? We don't know.

You have the Bend Studio multiplayer game. You have the Twisted Metal game from Firesprite, which was reported. You have London Studios' co-op game, like the fantasy game in London. You have Deviation Games, remember Deviation Games? Of course, how can I forget? Dann gibt es Payback. Ich erinnere mich nicht so viel an das 3-Person-Destiny-Spinoff von Bungie.

Aber eins nach dem anderen fühlt es sich so an, Ja, genau. Irgendwo auf der Linie hat jemand oder die Leute sich in Bezug auf diese Projekte verletzt.

I do think that that was a combination of factors, but I do think that it must have started at some point from, hey, we're looking for big PlayStation-branded multiplayer games that we can rest on. This week, they put out the PlayStation sales for games, and Helldivers was insane. I think it was like $16 million. That's nuts, man.

There's business factors there, but I'm just saying it's like there was money involved and like things did not shake out. They all knew what Stadia was going to be at that point in time.

As much as they do Amy Hennig. If not probably, actually more. No. Yeah, definitely. Jade Raymond was on stage and presenting in a way that Amy Hennig, we just are all nerds about because we know the quality of her stories. You know what I mean? Yeah.

I'm saying more people would know who Jade Raymond was over the time of talking about all these games. Just because of how public-facing she was during certain points of her career.

Personally, I think it's unlikely we ever see a Jade Raymond project ever actually happen, just given the state of the industry and how time works. And second off, I do think that if we did, yeah, then we'll be able to say the track record's not great because I don't think it's going to live up to expectations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I think that's another big thing. You weren't even a guy when they were, like, the shit when she was involved.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I think a big difference, too, is the idea of what Amy Hennig does versus what Jade Raymond does. Being a fan of a writer, I think, is easier than being a fan of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
jade's skill set which is more on the production side of things right yeah so it's like kojima is the easiest one to throw around like when we use the word auteur because it's like he does a little bit of all of it right and so it's like this we're conflating the stories with him as well whereas like we're not doing that with jade necessarily yeah you know um Yeah. I hear you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
It's a moot point because at the end of the day, it's like, I'm with you. It's like, I'm not looking forward to a Jade Raymond thing. And it just does kind of feel like a butt of a joke at this point. Yeah, this headline was inevitable.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Last thing I want to say about this is we don't know if she left by choice. We don't know if she was forced out. We don't know any of that stuff. So there's a lot of different variables here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
That doesn't tell me anything, though. That could be her being upset about it and just being like, fuck, this is not worth it. I'm out. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
True. Oh, aside of the game not being good? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not questioning that part. Sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Hell yeah, man. What a weekend.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Because me and you are reviewing it on Tuesday. Oh, yeah. And I'm very excited. I can't wait to talk about it. I can't freaking wait.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Oh, yeah, I beat it. Bless, I beat it like two weeks ago. And I don't think an hour has went by that I've been awake that I haven't thought about something about the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
There are very few standouts, I'll say, but I think that all of it is just so chill. You just put on shuffle. You're just going to have a good time, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Let's see how long we can go. I like it that Friday energy pushing through.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Everyone's all up in arms about AI stealing people's art. You know what I mean? But what about the people stealing people's art? We forgot. We are the Walking Dead. We are the Walking Dead, everybody. We are the Walking Dead. Oh my god, we are the thieves ourselves. This sucks fucking ass. Bungie, what the fuck? This is so bad. This is not the first time they have stolen art. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
But also, this is the most egregious time that I know of that they've gotten caught. And specifically, Bless, this is... It's so hard to talk about these PlayStation live service games and have any level of positivity because it all just feels so dire. And we're reading the tea leaves here and just being like, this is a problem. This isn't going to work. XYZ. You'll look at Marathon.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
And what's the one thing most people that have talked about Marathon can agree on?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
It's fucking cool. It's so cool. Oh, wow. That's stolen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Oh, man, dude. They can't catch a break. And, hey, they're the ones stepping on the rakes. This is bad stuff, man. Bungie was acquired by PlayStation for billions of dollars.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Here's one of them bees.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Oh, no. I don't think so. I think there's, in my opinion, no way. What do you think? They pay money to get the art, whatever. That's the end of it. Or they just then deal with the legal stuff and move on. I think that this, as shady as it is, they keep on trucking. I don't think this changes anything. They're not changing the art style of this game. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Maybe then they just change enough stuff to get around it. Do you remember this game called Pal Worlds?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Do you remember how those weren't Pokemon?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
It's possible, though. That style is even based on the style. The fact is, though, these are assets being ripped. These are assets that are legit, legit, like Fern's assets, like Fern's iconography being used and letters and actual order of letters and all of that stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
In terms of style and stuff, yeah, I don't know the name of this, but it's like other people can emulate and do similar things and whatever. The cover of Gary Whitta's book. Yeah. Has a similar, that retro NASA, whatever. Yeah. Or I don't even know. I don't know the right words to apply to it. The retro punk. Point is, this is theft. Oh, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
This is as blatant and egregious as you can possibly get. Like, there's no, it's not just, oh, there's two triangles on top of each other. It's those specific shaped triangles.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
It had to be that one, too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Get them to pay up. Do not settle for an M. You're looking for a B. I don't know if you're going to get the B. You ain't going to get that B. But you fight for the B, everybody. You might have to settle for six figures.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I mean, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Mm-hmm.

PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Mm-hmm.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Yeah. I mean, that's insane, man. Very, very, very not good. And here's the thing. What really sucks about this is at the end of the day, somebody chose to do this. And we don't know how many people were aware of the origins and this and this and this. But what we do know is at the very least, one person did this, claiming that it was theirs. And we are now talking about this on our news show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Many, many other people are talking about this. People want this game to fail. People are out here like... And you're just giving them even more reason to tear down this project that... hundreds of people, if not a thousand people, are working on to some extent. And your stupid-ass, selfish-ass choice to steal is affecting those people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
It reminds me of the plagiarism at IGN, the Philip Mewson story and all that stuff. Forever, IGN will be associated with plagiarism because of your dumb-ass decisions. You get what I'm saying? This fucking sucks for so many people that could not have known.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Our flow in the chat says, and I don't remember if it was in the article you read here, but I did see this earlier today that many people at Bungie follow her.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
which is very bad yeah it's like yeah and again what i just said like all i know is that there's one person but however many people there are if you knew about this it's like dude you are making a bad call that's going to affect everyone around you that really freaking sucks yeah uh bringing in some more super chats again uh shout out to everybody writing in today a lot of people have a lot of opinions uh including a brown spot who writes in and says hashtag justice for mike i agree
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I often compliment Bless on his power supply, how unique it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
You missed a lot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I'm right there with you entirely. I don't think Bungie goes away. I think it looks different, and I also do think it'll be taken under PlayStation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
This is a very nuanced conversation. My personal opinion is that generations have just changed so much of what they are. And I've said this many times, but you'll look at the games that have come out on PlayStation 5. And if you're solely talking about exclusives, then yeah, compare this to PS4. It doesn't look that great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
But we're at a point that a generation is tech updates and better graphics and faster RAM and SSDs and all that stuff. And in that case, I've had an amazing generation with my PlayStation 5. But if you're looking at it for just exclusive experiences, it's like, yeah, this doesn't at all compare to PS4. I think it compares to PS3. And then you go back. PS2 is different as beast PS1.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Every generation just has its pros and cons and it's just different. But I think that to me, the biggest takeaway is that this is undeniably the most iterative generation split we've ever had. But the people playing on PS5 versus PS4 are having an infinitely better experience. And I'm saying that from experience.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
And to me, there's so much value there where you're getting these unique exclusive experiences from PlayStation to define the generation, whereas PlayStation 1 was defined by third-party RPGs and Metal Gear, you know what I mean? And the PS2 was kind of just like a major hit in a lot of different ways, but that was kind of a little bit of everything.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Yeah, but also I would say that the reality is PS2, it's kind of like Jack of all trades, master of none. Jack and Daxter of all trades. You know what I mean? But still, to say master of none even is like a little ridiculous, but we have time on our side to be able to look back and see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Oh, we're talking about some of the best games of all time, for sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Adding the third-party stuff, that's to me where it gets just a very complicated thing. Are we going to say Elden Ring's not that damn good?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
We're talking about Blueprints. But also Elden Ring, also on PlayStation 4.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
right sure like that's what i'm saying it's just like we're getting to this point of just like the generations are like kind of stupid but where do i play the most games that i fucking love yeah i love my ps5 i really do you get what i'm saying like this generation for me it's been awesome but yeah you compare the details between the others it's like yeah okay no but i every generation had its version and form of concord it was just a different thing yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
It is, and that's cool. What matters to me most is third-party support being expected on the Switch 2. And I think that this is a... Red Dead Redemption 2 is a technical powerhouse of a video game. And yeah, it could scale down, but I want it to be able to scale to a playable state on the Switch 2. And if they can pull that off, we're sitting real pretty.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
1000%.

Let's get to it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I get it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
i can't wait for launch man i can't wait to just tinker and see what all this actually means it looks like um you know this this is detailed but it's still not detailed if you know what i mean like i want to see like what are the numbers we're talking about like what what are the actual improvements here but i do think that this is a good sign the fact that these are all free updates like think about the last two years we've talked about how's nintendo gonna handle this stuff and so far it's like kind of the best case realistic option
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Like, sure, best case would be everything's free and everyone gets everything they want always. But the reality is they're going back to the majority of games that people would actually care about getting a technical increase. They're giving it to them. And in most ways, this is all the good news. Like, there's some things there that are a little bizarre. Like, why is there no HDR on Mario World?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
But there is on Bowser's Fury.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Yeah, for sure. So it's like some things are weird, but we'll just have to see how it all shakes out. And of course, I've said this a million times, there are glaring omissions here. Where's Animal Crossing? Where's Mario Wonder? Where's Super Smash Brothers Ultimate?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I imagine those are going to get plus versions, like enhanced editions, Switch 2 editions like we're seeing with Breath of the Wild, Here's the Kingdom, Mario Party, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Keep dreaming.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
This sucks. It's not great news. Obviously, we would want this. It is an amazing feature, and especially with Nintendo focusing this generation seemingly so much on the options of having 120 frames per second mode and things like that and higher resolution. All of it. This sucks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Having said that, I personally, as the Nintendo guy and a tech guy, I'm not that upset about this because I do think that it being on handheld is already a major win, and I'm very stoked about that. But also, this is something they can fix with firmware, and they did with the PlayStation 5. It's a bummer that it's not here, and there's no guarantee it ever will come.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
But if I was a betting man, I think it will come eventually.

We won, dude. Let's go. Me and you were just at the Nintendo store, and you've been saying they were trying to erase Diddy Kong. A lot of Diddy Kong erasure. And he was all over. Well, not all over, but he was over enough the Nintendo store. It's like, okay, cool. Maybe they're not trying to get rid of our little guy. And now here they are, redesigning him.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
They put out new renders of all the classic Mario and Donkey Kong characters today for the Switch 2 era. And it's like, he's right there. He's right there. He's going nowhere, everybody.

Lemon just means like a dud. Like you bought something and it doesn't work the way you wanted it to. I wouldn't go that far, but honestly, it's in the conversation. I do think that it's like if we did a Gamescast topic that's like, what is the biggest lemon in games history? Like studio-wise, it's like at this point, Bungie is kind of racking up some...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Aloy drinks Sprite. Is that what it is? Oh, Lord. We have a gamescast to get to. We have guests. Let's fucking wrap this shit up.

PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
That's all. See, that's what I'm talking about. We don't have all those details, but that makes sense because... We don't need the higher frame rate because it already was set to the right frame rate. We just weren't getting it.

PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Yeah, but that wasn't an Amy Hennig project, was it? I don't know. I don't think so. I think she just happened to write on it.

You know, social network taught us that, you know, it's cleaner. You drop the the. Here, they just realized we got to be realistic. We got to drop the money. We're not making any. This game's not going to work for us. So we're just putting this out here. It's a game. That's accurate.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
You think so? I would think so, yeah. That's very generous of you. This isn't great news, right? I feel like we hear the names Jade Raymond and Amy Hennig a lot, and I feel like whenever one comes up, you bring up the other. I don't know that that's entirely fair, but I do think that there is reason for it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
When it comes down to these are two people that have worked on legendary projects and keep... Almost doing something and then it ends up not happening and it's been a long time since we've actually seen the fruits of their labor And looking at this it's like we still have Amy Hennig on 1943 Marvel's rise of Hydra. Yeah, which I think I said it out I got the parts there.

That got delayed recently to 2026. I still have my hesitations on if that's actually a video game or if it is more of a very glorified tech demo of a game that is majority, like vast majority, like way more even than like a Metal Gear Solid 4 cut scenes. You know what I mean? That's my theory on it so far. But when it comes to fair games, it's like that's a game. You know, like we've seen it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I hope it's me. There's so much to talk about. There's so much to talk about. That is correct. That is correct. I just want things to get back on track. You know what I mean? I feel like story number one, story number two, this just is not good for PlayStation in particular.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
We know that it is going to be a video game. We kind of fully understand what that game is going to be. And I think that it's easy to say the vast majority of us look at it and go, hmm, don't know about that one. And that's adding on to other games that PlayStation's been working on and putting out, similar to you can't not bring up Concord, right? You can't not bring up Marathon.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
We'll talk about that even more later. But fair games, I do think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
is uh one of the ones that most of us kind of like we use as a butt of a joke when we talk about these games right like for the last year plus we've been talking about frames like oh and when will we see that like what's that gonna look like like i i bet that's gonna win and we're all being assholes and it's so this happening now like after a play test an external play test i saw someone in the chat implying that they are actually playing it now they're nda'd but they're just like you know maybe i'm playing it are you having fun let us know in chat is it good
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
So that is interesting, right? It actually is being played right now by some external people. But we all got to play Marathon recently, too. So it's like we're getting to the point that these games are going to be released, right? I guess let me start there, Bless. Does fair games get released?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Do you think it is, though?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
It's originally slated for fall 2025, but been delayed to next spring.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I'm so with you with all of that. I don't know how important the Jade factor is, though. I feel like a lot of what we're talking about here is that's probably the ideation and just the initial leading of the project, but with how far we're into this now, I assume, I mean, people playtesting it and them even internally having a release date set for within a year of now, I feel like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Having some issues.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
it's too late to just like rip the cord on this one. Like, I feel like it has to come out, but what form does it come out in? Right. I think that that's, that is interesting, but like, yeah, cause like I I'm with you as a person that doesn't fully understand the intricacies of where all the money goes with this stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Like, we look at this and go, hey, Concord didn't work, so learn from that and just don't do it again, you know? But at what point is that just not tenable because they have to make money?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Well, you know, I mean, maybe they'll find the money somehow. Unless they lose the money. Unless they purposefully choose to get rid of the money. We'll get to it in a second.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
means to do that at this point. If they do, I know they did it with Concord backwards. They did that after the game launched. Doing it before is going to be very, very interesting and put Sony in a very bad spot, honestly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Like maybe. Absolutely.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Yeah, absolutely.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
It has to be that. Yeah. I don't think that a $40 price tag is an option for this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Yeah. So, I mean, I feel like we know that. I'm sure that they know that. Will they listen to that or not? That's the big question. But I do think that I would bet that this game is released free to play over it being straight up canceled.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
At this point. I can see that. It is interesting, though, with Marathon coming out, I just checked, September 23rd this year. Like, there was no point in which we were like, oh, yeah, they should definitely have Fair Games and Marathon, you know? But having them now, like, that close to each other, like, that sounds like a horrible idea.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
And not to rehash the exact same conversation we've been having for years now, but I do think that it's been long enough that it's important to bring up again. PlayStation was trying to rebrand what PlayStation games means.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
And they're failing at that. And this is where we're at now of they are trying to make... You think extraction shooters, you think about those PC games that Mike plays on stream. You know what I mean? PlayStation was like, oh, there's money and value there. Let's have it so it's not just... Third person dad games. Right. And big, gigantic budget narrative experiences on PlayStation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Let's also find ways to make money from, quote unquote, smaller multiplayer experiences that we can kind of nickel and dime in different ways. Like whether it is a free to play model or if it is a hey, it's a budget title, but then we'll get them on the microtransactions and all that stuff later. It's not working. It's just not working.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Clearly, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
but so it is interesting we can't have this conversation without bringing up hell divers like there was a success and a success out of nowhere a success that is oh man there was no marketing people weren't convinced on that game and all it took was for it to be good and it worked and it convinced people right um i'm not expecting fair games to be another hell divers i'm expecting it to be another concord yeah you know and i i also wonder if
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I would bet it was part of this conversation. And I think that it being a sequel to Helldivers and that team wanting to make that and all that stuff, sure. The type of game it is compared to Helldivers 1,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I guess my thing is, will we get there to where that is the talk of the town?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Are we going to get there a year from now where when we talk about Ghost of Yotei, we're going to be talking about, oh, and it looks so much better on PS5 Pro, or are we just going to be like, yeah, Ghost of Yotei looks good, looks great across everything, might look a bit better on PS5 Pro, but yeah, if you're playing on base PS5, just play it on base PS5.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I know. I was very surprised when I walked in. Why are you here, Roger? Yeah. I'm listening to my podcast. I'm eating my bagel, and I look up, and I see Roger. I was like, oh, God. What's going on here? Get out of here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I definitely hear you. I guess I just view it so much differently than the PS4 Pro because the PS4 Pro at least had... You did a great job. of explaining PlayStation 4 Pro way more bullet points than I'm excited. Yeah, and I think the PS5 Pro bullet points just aren't... Like, right now, if I'm a Best Buy employee and somebody comes up to me and they're like, hey, I'm in the market for a PS5.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
What, like, should I get a PS5 Pro? I'm looking at them and I'm like... Listen, how much... What's your home theater setup? Yeah, what's your home theater setup?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Are you going to Digital Foundry and looking at the pixels and being like, ooh, this looks like... Sure. But honestly, for me, it's such a hard sell to spend $250 more on a thing that genuinely I don't think is that big of a deal.

100%, yeah. But yeah, all that said, I look at the statements from Phil Spencer, and I find myself nodding my head the whole time. I'm excited to see where we're at. Again, 2026, my prediction is that we're going to be talking about the next Xbox coming soon by then. I'm very fascinated with how they're treating the platform by the time we get around to it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
If we get that staggered next-gen release, is the next Xbox going to be the... All right, this is the strongest box out right now, and then the PS6 comes out, and it is like, you know, I'm... I think we're entering interesting times.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I think what it is is like what Xbox has already been building, right? It is like the connectivity between all your different things. It is... Xbox Game Pass, if you can still try to keep that, you know, that you were bringing up the X0, it is that, it is, you know, it is this ecosystem of Xbox, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I think they're trying to build that as much as possible, and I think that is the thing that will make them unique. I think the big thing, though, in the reality of it, as far as If we're gonna still continue to treat this as a competition, right? PlayStation versus Xbox, which I think we're getting further and further from that. But if we're gonna treat it that way, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Like, it's still gonna come down to library. It's still gonna come down to first-party games. That's why you're seeing the PlayStation 5 still sell like crazy, right? And keep up with where PS4 was at around this time of its life cycle. It's because you have the software to back it up. Um... But hey, those dominoes might still be in the process, right? We'll see what Indie does. Indie. Avowed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Avowed. Story number two. Let's talk about Avowed. Avowed's $90 version will let you play the game five days early.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
This is Jordan Midler at Video Games Chronicle. Avowed is the latest game to offer early access as part of a more expensive edition. For $90 slash £90, the premium edition of Avowed includes a skin pack, a digital art book, and the game's soundtrack.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
It also includes five days early access to the game, meaning premium edition players can start playing the game on February 13th as opposed to February 18th, 2025. Many games in recent years have offered early access as a paid perk for buying a more expensive edition of a game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Microsoft's Starfield also offered this and offered a premium edition upgrade, which meant players who planned to play the game on Xbox Game Pass could pay a one-time fee to just receive the premium edition contents. Avowed, developed by Obsidian, will be released on Xbox and PC on February 18th. The game will be added to Game Pass on day one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
It was also announced that Avowed is releasing on Battle.net along with Xbox Series, Windows, Steam, and Game Pass. You're not going to pay $5 or however much money more to play the game five days early.

After the show, I'll give you some Opie's, Garrett. Yeah, the five days early thing is a... I think it's a battle I quickly just gave up on. I think the first time it happened, I was like, oh, that's weird. I don't know if I like that. It used to be like three days. Yeah, I feel like it's been getting longer. I don't know if that's better or worse, but it was just like... Wait, hold on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
How many days is like, okay, enough is enough. We got to do something about this. Two weeks early.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
trying this more i mean indiana jones are they doing this with indiana jones like indiana jones is an ip right that's a name i feel like that's a bigger deal this strikes me as one of those things where this is gonna be the move for everybody right well i don't know if i don't know if i'm gonna say the move for everybody but i think somebody high up whether it's phil sarah or maybe just like a team of people high up on the marketing side i think maybe had a meeting with like the leads the developers and we're like hey this is an option for you like they told them i doubt this was a conversation
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Well, I think a lot of the times it can come down to, hey, we're going to give you the choice as the lead of the studio. Studio leads still are business people to some extent, right? You have to be able to sell your thing. You have to think about the numbers. Your job is still to sell things. That's not 100% going to be on the publisher, at least all the time, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I can see a case where it is a... Again, a meeting, a conference, like a call where they are like, hey, here's what we're doing for the fiscal year 2024. Hey, this is an option. If you want to take it, we think it's going to make you X amount of money more if you give the option to play the game three, five days earlier, whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Because it seems like there is a trend of Xbox games in particular doing this, but it's not all of them. You think the studio heads have a choice in that matter?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
We have a comprehensive review coming, all right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I pull this from conversations I've had with people about how I think we always have the assumption that publishers have 100% of the business decisions and all this shit, whereas you would be surprised by how much...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
say studio heads having this not that it's like the studio heads are out here making the big business decisions but i think a lot of the time yeah like the heads of the studio are the ones that are responsible for some of these decisions because they have to think like business people too right like neil druckman i think gets to choose hey i want to make a last list or an uncharted right which is going to be a major decision for a playstation title but that's him still thinking about what's going to make naughty dog money what's going to make playstation money as a result
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I feel like somebody in chat said call Tim Schafer. I feel like Tim Schafer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
We don't have to say to Xbox. We just say like in general, in theory, let's say to a publisher. Let's say to an owner, you know, like how much say do you have? In the business operations of your own studio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah, but I don't think it goes from, oh, you have a lot of say, and then you have zero say all of a sudden as a studio head. I still think that you definitely have input as far as how we go about monetizing your product. You just have another party that has a lot of input as well, too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Let's do a couple of Super Chats. The Portland Kevin writes in and says, Happy 20th birthday to Metroid Prime 2. It felt just as good as Prime 1, but with better and more epic boss fights. Give us a remaster, damn it. RZ Jones 18 writes in and says, I had a question. Do you guys consider DLC to be part of the game of the year conversation?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I know Shadow of the Earth Tree will be considered, but would that be a full game or still qualify as Elden Ring? I think every company does it different, right? Every outlet does it different. Like every award show is going to do it differently. I think we're starting to move toward the place
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
where DLC, I think, can be considered standalone, especially if you're, like, an exceptional piece of DLC. Like, last year, Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty got, I think, a lot of shout-outs as far as Game of the Year conversation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
yeah like the way i view it is none of it like none of this is religion right like none of this is like has a hard set of rules but also you know like cyberpunk phantom liberty i forget how many hours i put into that but i'm pretty sure i put in more hours into that than i put into a lot of full video games shadow of the earth tree i played what 30 hours of that 30 something hours which is more than i can say about a lot of games i played this year right like i think a lot of dlc are coming in expansions are hitting with the level of a full-sized game and i think that's worth celebrating and shouting out
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Oh, yeah. Are you putting up the PS Love You background for that? Like, what's the vibe?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah. There was somebody earlier in chat, and I missed the name, sorry, but somebody was like, you know, hours has nothing to do with Game of the Year. All right, Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty was one of the best things I experienced last year, right? Shadow of the Erdtree was one of the best things I experienced this year, right? I use hours as a thing just as a way to measure, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Oh, if you're going to say DLC is small and that's going to be your argument, right? Like that's why I use ours. But like, yeah, some of the best things I have are like DLC sometimes.

Yeah. All right, let's move on. To story number three. I forget if there was even more of the conversation. I forget what I was trying to prove.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah, and so... And I think we're trying to trace back of, like, is this going to be a norm for Xbox going forward, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And I guess that's where I separate where I think, I think this is a push internally from Xbox, but I don't think they're making everybody do it. I think if any of the studios were like, no, we really don't want to do this. I think they're not going to do it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
How do we figure this out? Like, a year from now, we count... I mean, I just think every Xbox exclusive from here on out is going to do this. Oh, really? So post about if we get a non-early access pre-order option, you know what I mean? Yeah. Okay, then I'll get the pizza. Yeah, exactly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And then we'll stamp it at, by the end of 2025, I'll say, if every Xbox exclusive of 2025 gets an early access pre-order thing... As long as it keeps going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then, yeah, then I'll get you the pizza. Perfect, love it. Perfect. Story number three. Ubisoft Splinter Cell movie has been canceled. No! This is Sophie McAvoy at gamesindustry.biz.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Ubisoft Splinter Cell movie adaptation has been canceled, according to one of the film's producers. As reported by The Direct, producer Basile Iwanek confirmed the adaptation was no longer in production. Iwanek signed onto the film in 2013. Quote, The movie would have been awesome. We just couldn't get it right script-wise, budget-wise, he said. But it was going to be great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
We had a million different versions of it, but it was going to be hardcore and awesome. That's one of the ones that got away, which is really sad. Ubisoft's Splinter Cell film has been in production limbo since it was announced in 2012. Variety later reported that Tom Hardy was to be cast as Sam Fisher.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
In 2014, Doug Lehman of Edge of Tomorrow was attached to direct, but since then, there has been no word on his production status. While the film adaptation may be canceled, an anime series is currently in production at Netflix, set to premiere sometime in 2025. Barrett Courtney from the 1s and 2s, what's up?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
It was going to be fantastic. He crushed it. Tom Hardy has been casted for a decade to be in this thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Okay, don't do Tom Hardy like that. That man was Bane. Do you think this ever happens? I guess, do you think we ever get this spun up again for Splinter Cell?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
So when you say Ubisoft... Are you saying that Ubisoft is going to go away?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
For audio listeners, this is not real financial advice. I mean, so do you think the Ubisoft name goes away? I think they get bought. Because that's where I'm at. I think Ubisoft still exists as an organization, but I think like PlayStation or somebody, maybe Disney, I don't know. Somebody buys them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
If you're Disney, what do you rebrand them as? Just Disney games?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Now we just have Assassin's Creed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
That's sad. Oh, Templars. But it's like, you're right. I think the other example would be a THQ where THQ went away and then they brought back the name and it's like, what's the point?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Do you think you ever see this Netflix thing? The anime? Yeah. Oh, for sure, yeah. That seems like it's actively in production. It was announced at the Netflix Geek Tour or whatever a year or so ago with a bunch of other stuff, and some of that stuff's already come out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
No. Well, I was also talking about the Ubisoft stuff, like Captain Laserhawk or whatever the fuck.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I believe that came out. Didn't watch that either, but I think these things are actually happening. Yeah. But also, how many people are going to watch the Splinter Cell anime?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Oh, it's wrapped.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
That was the headline for us, yeah. So we do see that at some point, I guess, next year. Or do we? They're like, it's finished, but it's shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Ubisoft Nordic? No, that's gross. I really hope it's not. If anybody buys them, I'm trying to think of a good fit. Because I do think Disney could actually be a really good fit for Ubisoft. Why?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Starting with story number one, Xbox's Phil Spencer says we'll definitely do more consoles. I'm pulling from Chris Scullion at Video Games Chronicle. There will be more Xbox consoles in the future, Microsoft's gaming CEO Phil Spencer has said. In an interview with Rolling Stone following the launch of the company's new This Is An Xbox marketing campaign.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I mean, I'm not mad at what EA's been doing, right? Like, we got the fucking Dead Space remake.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Well, yeah, but that's a necessary evil to get the other things. Do you like Star Wars Jedi? I do. I feel like EA has a lot of good stuff going on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Sure. My thing is, I think EA, the current version of EA, right? Because over the years, EA has gone from villain to maybe slightly less villain. I think they're in a version right now where they're getting shit done. Not the most exciting shit, but like... They brought back college football. They're not Ubisoft.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Ubisoft, I'm like, any day you can announce your closing, and I'm like, all right, well, it was about to happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
It was the definition of locking in. And I don't, this is probably a bigger discussion. I think we need more time to break it down. But yeah, it was the Vivendi takeover. What was that, like 2015-ish, 2016-ish? I thought it said IGN.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
early mid PS4 era is what I'm thinking of where I feel like Ubisoft during that era like had something good going like I think they were I would say they were locked in during that time and then it was around whenever Ghost Recon Breakpoint came out I feel like that was just a downturn of oh we've given up like we got nothing left in the tank like everything's just going downhill from here
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
That was 2019.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I honestly think it was like the... The thing I'm trying to diagnose is... Dr. Bliss!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
What went wrong? Is it just that, was it the transition into current gen? Did games just get way too expensive and way too high production that Ubisoft just couldn't keep up anymore, where they went from AAA to now almost feeling like AA? Like, where was the turn? Because PS4 generation, I feel like they were in it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Let's move on to story number four. When did they hire you, Seth? I think that was part of the locking in. 2020. They locked in there.

Listen, Yusuf had me tricked for a little bit during those Ubisoft forwards where I was like, damn, they're doing great over here. Then they stopped putting Yusuf. Look how good he's dressed. I was like, oh man, Ubisoft's killing it. Then they stopped putting him in the forwards and I'm like, this shit sucks.

Story number four. Blizzard job ad confirms upcoming open world shooter is in the works. And all signs point to StarCraft. This is Wesley Yenpool at IGN. As spotted on Reddit on November 13th, Blizzard posted a job ad for an associate design director, Innovation, on an unannounced game. The description goes into more detail.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
As the design director of innovation, you'll be the vision holder and owner of key strategic innovations on an upcoming open world shooter game. You stay current with the latest developments in both the indie and AAA space. David Bowie is quoted as saying, quote, go a little bit out of your depth.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And when you don't feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you're just about in the right place to do something exciting. End quote. The idea of innovating in the deep and excites you. Balanced with a pragmatic desire to turn dreams into reality that players can get their hands on and enjoy. That blurb confirms Blizzard's plan to release an open world shooter. But what is it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
In September, it emerged that Blizzard was reportedly making a third attempt at developing a StarCraft shooter with former Far Cry executive producer Dan Hay, who joined Blizzard in 2022, leading the charge. The news came from Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier while speaking to IGN's Podcast Unlocked about his new book, Play Nice, The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
A Starcraft shooter is mentioned in the book, and IGN's Ryan McCaffrey asked Schreier if it's likely to actually come out. Quote, if it's not canceled, Schreier replied, this is Blizzard after all.

Hell yeah. Okay, you got me convinced. Because I read this and I was like, sounds cool, but yeah, this is a thing that it feels like you've been working on for multiple decades at this point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I mean, it's not really close at all. Well, thank you. I'm doing my job. I guess that's fair. No, you're right. That's fair. That's fair. Spencer explained that the shift to a multi-platform strategy doesn't mean that the Xbox Series X and Series S will be the final Xbox consoles. Quote, we'll definitely do more consoles in the future, Spencer confirmed, and other devices.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I mean, it reminds me of League of Legends a little bit, where I'm somebody who would never play League of Legends, but then they announced 2XKO, and I plan to be very obsessed with 2XKO, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Well, if this comes out, it'll be a big deal. Big deal. Big, big deal. But if I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I needed to know about. Greg, where would I go?

Other devices may refer to the often-reported Xbox handheld, which Spencer said earlier this week was in the pipeline but was likely still years away. When asked by Rolling Stone if Xbox would release a mid-generation console upgrade similar to the PS5 Pro, Spencer was less definitive, appearing to suggest he didn't think the difference in performance was worth it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Players across Aeternum can team up with fellow adventurers to take down this level 66 open world boss found in locations including Everfall, Brightwood, Morningdale, and Restless Shore. That should have been in the main news for a second. We're going to have a fucking read that. That's that long.

Oh, let's do it. Yeah. Did we ever confirm that that was a pizza bet? Because people in chat were like, oh, yeah, bless them. Of course he made the bet. But I think I overheard Roger and Cool Greg trying to find the clip, and I don't think they could find it.

"'We think about hardware that can create unique value for our players or creators on our platform,' he explained." We don't need to do incremental hardware for our own benefit. Does a new device really give you a unique experience on screen in some way? It's less like the old days, going from the original Xbox to 360. That was standard definition to high definition.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

So, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, it could be closer than we think for sure, but we'll see. I mean, you would not imagine four years in development at this point. Like, hopefully it's in the next couple years. I'm going to say 2026, the year that we get the new Xbox.

I feel like we might be competitive in this case. Are we counting movies that Venom is in? No, we're not. Then we're talking about Spider-Man 3, Tobey Maguire. DJ... Akobio says, Avowed feels doomed. Are they keeping the game in a busy window to encourage $90 spend? Why are they hesitant of a January release? DJ, I think you're getting into conspiracy theory territory. I'm not going to lie.

Lightning Black writes in and says, the point of PS5 Pro is PSSR. FSR has some issues. Please. Blessing. Sorry. Yes, sir. Thank you. My thing with PSSR is that I don't think it's as sexy of a bullet point. I think in theory, like, it's cool. And in action also, I think it's cool, right? Like, I've seen all the DLSS stuff that, you know, Andy shows off when it comes to Nvidia.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And that stuff always does look incredible when he shows me, like, the before and afters. I think the thing with PSSR, though, is, like... I don't know. It's hard to put that on a box and be like, see, you got to get a PS5 Pro, PlayStation owners, because we got AI upscaling.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Now, it's harder to show the benefits." Greg Miller, you talked about that this is an Xbox campaign yesterday. And you can do the thing, and you can do the stuff. Which is what Phil Spencer was telling everybody. I'm telling Bloomberg.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I think maybe by the time we get to next gen, that stuff might be a bit more easily sellable because we've been far enough into it and maybe you have more concrete examples that you can show people and go, hey, this is how much better it looks. Right now, when I compare it to the PS4 Pro, I think people... knew for the most part what HDR was. People knew for the most part what 4K was.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
People had TVs that ran 4K. They were looking for reasons to want to get juice out of that 4K, and their PS4s weren't doing it. And so PS4 Pro, I think, actually had an actual feature there that... Felt worthwhile when you see it on the box. Tangible, thank you. PSSR, cool. Awesome. Don't get me wrong. I think that's great. But just as far as bullet points on a box, it doesn't speak to me as much.

And then I got one more I'm going to pull from... I got two more. I got one from Garrett that says, for blessing, have you seen the collab with Sonic Cross Igloo? Yes, the cooler company. They have some sick drinkware for pretty cheap. Just wanted to throw it in an FYI. For Greg, please keep tearing into the grifters. Love you guys. And then, no, I've not seen the Igloo thing.

How do you feel about coming out of that campaign, having the discussions that you're having with Tim, going into Phil Spencer talking about the fact that there will be future Xbox consoles?

This gen should be extended. All right. Now it's time for kindoffunny.com slash you're wrong. Where you write in and let us know what we got wrong as we got it wrong so we can correct it for those watching later on YouTube and listening later on podcast services around the globe. A lot of these are for yesterday. But BanderSN writes in and says, Indiana Jones does indeed have paid early access.

You can get the game early through an Xbox over PlayStation players. Look at that.

That's good. That's good. You played me, BanderSN. And then Brad says, there is a physical edition of Avowed Premium Edition that is being released with a really cool steelbook and a physical map and a letter from the devs. I think it went ignored.

We don't give enough respect to Pizza Hut, man. Nobody out pizzas the Hut.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
That's a crazy process. Let me turn on my PS5, start playing some Apex. All right, we've had a few losses. Now let me bust out this Pizza Hut pizza that I want to warm or keep warm. Yeah. Listen. What are we doing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I do want Pizza Hut to enter the video game more. You know, because, like, I was having a conversation on the way home from soccer last night with some friends. We were like, if money didn't matter, and we can go back and, like, do whatever job we want and what we do. And, like, one of them was like, oh, man, I'd love to just work in a grocery store. And I was like, man, I'd love to go back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Because I used to deliver pizzas during a summer in college for Pizza Hut. I could see myself going back and doing that for a little bit longer. Being a delivery driver.

I'm just shocked you submitted the application and didn't get the job. Didn't even get a call. I thought at least I'd get a call. I think my resume was empty. I don't think they interviewed me. I think they were just like, okay, cool, you can do it. They were looking for pretty much anybody with a license. Your spot was probably a bit more desperate.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Especially as Sarah Bond came out during, I believe it was the last big Xbox showcase, right? And said that we're working on the future of Xbox and, you know, implied that, hey, we're starting to get that rolling. I got the vibe of, I don't even think it's years and years away. I think maybe by 2026, we're talking about the next Xbox console. Holy shit, you think so?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Well, my theory is that I think they want to get ahead of PlayStation. I think that'd be really smart. They own Call of Duty, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And I think having access to the biggest player on the block like that, as far as third party, I think if you wanted to put out a new Xbox, have it come maybe possibly a year or two earlier than the next PlayStation, and have it be a thing of, hey, if you want to play Call of Duty in the highest fidelity way, boom, here's a box for you. It's the Xbox... five, or whatever you call it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Maybe you just call it the Xbox. I don't think you just call it the Xbox, though. Because I think you still want to hammer in that we're still doing generations. I think generations are still important enough.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah, but nobody says things they believe in. That's true. PlayStation does the same thing, right? Like, so... I think if you call something just the Xbox, I think that implies that this is what the feature is forever, right? Like, we're just platform now. I think you're still going to call it... Give it a cool name. The Xbox X0 or some shit. I don't know. But, like... We'll work on it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah, we'll work on it. We'll work on it. But I think you still want to do that. The thing I'll say about all this is that I've been very impressed with the way that Xbox has been messaging hardware and what their platform is. I know whenever we talk about, like, the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
top-down level, you know, this is what Xbox is doing, this is what the strategy is, it always has to be in opposition with PlayStation in comparison or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
This is one of those things where it's weird. I think Xbox does a way better job than PlayStation when it comes to messaging hardware and when it comes to taking future steps into something that I think is worthwhile for both them as a company and as an organization, and then also, you know, for the audience. This is an Xbox thing, I think, is a genius marketing campaign.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I can walk around.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I didn't get to listen to you guys talk about it yesterday, but like, from... We said it was a terrible... No, I'm kidding.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I'm tired.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Is that what that was?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
it's such strong messaging to go hey whatever screen you have this is an xbox this is the way that we're thinking about it that doesn't mean i think it's really powerful in the commercial when it's like the screen you are watching this on is an xbox that's cool that's a good way to be like one thousand percent so i think that's such strong messaging from their platform side but then i think even to the hardware side the part of this where rolling stone asks him about mid-generation console refreshes right so asking about an upgrade similar to the ps ps5 pro
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And Spencer's answer here saying, we think about hardware that can create unique value for players or creators on our platform. We don't need to do incremental hardware for our own benefit, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And him kind of getting into the fact that like, yo, like people aren't really going to notice the difference or at least the difference isn't big enough to where we feel like we need to make this entire new console job or whatever. I really like that. And I like it, especially in opposition to my own personal feelings about the PS5 Pro where, you know, we've had a PS5 Pro out
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah. It's the double thing. It's Friday. And now we moved soccer to Thursdays. And we also have about half our games this season are at 915 p.m. And so we finish off and they always go late. So now we finish off around like 1015, 1030. Yeah. And then afterwards, you know, we're on a high. We got our energy up. And so maybe last night we were like, yeah, let's get some milkshakes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
in like the office area for people to check out and play i like messed with it for a little bit trying to play some horizon zero dawn uh remake and then like probably like 20 minutes and i was like i'm good i don't need to play more of this and then yesterday i was watching uh barrett play some star wars jedi survivor just looking over his shoulder man like yeah this game looks good right but like in my time just watching the ps5 pro get used it's been such a man
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I don't understand. Like, I am so not the customer for this, right? And I totally, like, you know, acknowledge it and, you know, shout out the people that this is for, right? The Tim Gettys of the world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
You know, tech people. Visual fidelity.

The people who really care. What's this blue sky post?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah, I played around with the PS5 Pro at the office today, and honestly, the biggest pull for me is the size of the model, which is the same pull for the PS5 Slim, I guess.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And that's my thing is, as I've been watching the PS5 Pro get played, as I've been playing and messing around with a little bit of the PS5 Pro, it was the immediate thought of $700 for what feels like such a minuscule jump, right? Might be a bigger jump in the eyes of if you're a big tech person, might be a bigger jump in the eyes of if you really, really care about fidelity. But I look back at
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
the ps4 jump from ps4 to ps4 pro and the features there as far as hdr 4k right maybe better fidelity those things yeah and i believe i forget the exact percentage of ps4 players that made the jump from ps4 to ps4 pro i think it was what 10 percent 20 percent somewhere around there kind of funny.com slash you're wrong for me with the ps5 pro i'd be shocked
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
if the numbers are there for it to like get it comparable to the PS4. Like I'm such in a place of, wow, I do not care about this thing. And I read these words from Phil Spencer and I'm like, yeah, like this doesn't feel like a thing that you need to do. And I think they have their heads.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Like I think their minds are in the right place as far as how they're treating at least their hardware, how they're treating their consoles right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And so I was out late last night, and so it was one of those mornings where it was really slow to get up, and then I got up, and then I had to play some Pokemon TCG battles, and so it was slow to get out of bed. It's one of those mornings, but I'm trying to hang in there.

Mike, how many times leading up to the trip, during the trip, that I asked you, oh, dude, should we hit up Adam Boyce? Oh, wait. So you had no idea that they were talking? No. No, he didn't know that. I had no idea. Adam Boyce just showed me the texts. He just showed me the receipts. Mike, you didn't reply to him for 20 days? That was the whole thing. That was the whole thing. Jesus Christ.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I mean, I think... I'm so fascinated by the talent of that team and how well I think that could translate to a sports thing, right? Because, like, I know when we say action games, Sifu was an action game. Oftentimes, when you hear the word action, you think about fists flying. You think about guns blazing. You think about somebody getting stabbed, right? You think about, like, violent actions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
But I think when you're talking about video game design, I think action is even more so, like... I guess the mechanic translation of pressing a button and action happening on screen. And so in Sifu, you press a button and you punch. You press a button and you dodge. You press a button and you roll. You do whatever, right? What that comes down to are mechanics feeling good in action
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I think that translates so well to a sports thing. I think just because they're not making a game that's not punching doesn't mean that them making a game that is about a sport or whatever isn't going to translate as cleanly. I think it's actually a very clean translation of their skills. And I'm super excited for it because I think
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I think there is the side of it as far as, what was the game you mentioned, 3v3? Freestyle, yep. Freestyle. We see a lot of those sports games that are the more arcade-y ones, I think, come and go and try and fail. This, to me, feels more along the lines of Rocket League meets FIFA Pro Clubs in a way that I'm like, that's genius.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
We're gonna play more Magic. We gotta play Magic. That's all I can think about. I wanna play Magic with you! Being introduced to Magic was such a detour for what I thought my December was gonna be, because I've just, I've not been getting shit done. I had plans, I had games I wanted to play, I wanted to catch up on things during the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
That has potential to go big, and one of the reasons I really like this is this is a team that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
doesn't strike me as we got to do this for the money or we're doing this to like get a big player base so we can pay the bills or whatever they've tried and failed with multiplayer stuff like absolver came out and absolver was the game before sifu that was their most it was essentially multiplayer sifu and i tried that shit and i was like this ain't it for me and it feels like i don't think i heard many people talk about that game beyond that right they've tried and failed with that and i think for me
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
FIFU, which is what I want to call it. This game feels like a, a more of a passion project than a, we got to pay the bills sort of thing. I think they really want to make a multiplayer, like fun action thing happen for them. And so I'm really, I'm really rooting for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Yeah. I think there's so much to talk about, of course. Gamescast, we talked about this already so much. The one I want to talk about, I'll shout out of Elden Ring Night Ring, or Night Rain. I got so many thoughts, and I think there's so much there that could have potential, even though, for me, this is the one that is like a, are you paying the bills here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
An Elden Ring co-op, roguelite, you're going to mash up some of the other games. I love it, but I'm also like, what a weird, this doesn't feel like a... It's just such a weird choice as far as what you're doing with this IP here. I love it because this sounds like my exact type of shit. I'm going to play the shit out of this game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Hopefully, if it comes together and it's clean, it's good, which, come on, it's from software, so you expect it to be. But it is such a weird... Wow, I wouldn't expect this from them. But we're going to talk about that later because there's a story about Elden Ring.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I still, I've not had a game that I have procrastinated on playing more than Prince of Persia, The Lost Crown, and I'm at the point where I'm just like, give it up. Like, maybe I'm just not gonna play my game of the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I've missed Telltale games, right? Me and Greg and Janet and folks are super into games like Life is Strange. And I think there's something that is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I don't know, there's something that is very charming about games that are about making those choices and stories that feel unique in video games, stories that stand out because they're going for something that you can't really maybe get out of an action game or like other genres, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Hey, let's do a narrative choose your own adventure story game that is giving us something that we might not be able to replicate in other ways. This one looks super unique. I love the art style. I love the overall tone and tenor of it. The cast they have is insane. I love the games that they mentioned too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Because they were, what they say, they said from the makers of Tales from the Borderlands, and I forget the, oh, they said Wolf Among Us. Wolf Among Us, yeah. And I actually haven't played Wolf Among Us, I probably should, but I love Tales from the Borderlands.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
And I think if you're shouting out video games of, hey, these are the things that we've worked on, I feel like those two in particular, I know Wolf Among Us has, like, a very strong fan base, and Tales from the Borderlands, people, I think, love and respect the writing in that game, because it's very funny and very good. And so... I have faith in that one. So many announcements. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I want to bring in some super chats because, of course, I asked you guys what was missing from the Game Awards. Calvin Perez writes in and says, I would have loved a moment to have Sam Lake introduce who's adapting Alan Wake at Annapurna. I'd love Sam to do instead of just a trade report. I don't know what you mean by the last part.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
But, yes, that would have been cool to see more from Sam Lake and what that team is working on with Annapurna.

The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Yeah. You got to be pushing P, Mike. You got to be pushing P. And that's the thing is, I think there's a large conversation that we can have about spaces online and in the real life and stuff, right? Because I think for me and you, we've been to conventions, we've been to PAX, we've been to game awards, we've been to places where we're seeing people face-to-face. And guess what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
We meet so many great people and we meet so many people that are like, oh no, these are the people that play video games that are passionate and that care and that, like, man, there are so many... normal people, right? There are so many good people that love video games. I'll venture to say that most people that play video games, normal people, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Like there, it is pockets of people in specific spaces online that are the ones that are, you know, vocally being like, oh, anti-woke shit, right? Or trying to grift other people. And we got to like take them and put them in a fucking vacuum and have them yell at each other and like escape that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
If we can put them all in a fucking bubble, have them yell at each other, and then kick the bubble to space, and then poke a hole in the bubble, let all the air fucking... But yeah, it's a sucky thing that I think Twitter has become that. It's been such a boom to my mental health going to other places and not opening up Twitter in a day. And I just feel better.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Like there's not really a real way that I can track my hours and playing magic because it is a physical game along with the amount of arena I'm playing. But like, If I think about it this way, my Steam hours for Magic Arena say probably around 30 hours, and I am playing a lot on my phone as well. That's awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
There's a large conversation as far as people being... Lonely right people not having people in their real life that they can connect with people not having friends or people not like oftentimes I think
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
loneliness and like lack of therapy and lack of access to i guess those resources make you turn to the internet right make you turn to creators that might be speaking to your insecurities and allowing you to connect with them because they are angry about something and so you can connect with them because you're angry about something and guess what they're angry about women being being put as main characters in video games so they're mad about oh man why
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
white people are being taken out of main character roles or whatever. And you go, oh man, that's something that I can be mad about. Me and this person connect. And really what it comes down to is that you're lonely, right? And you don't have people to connect with. And that sucks. I think that's the thing that really breaks my heart is that there are so many people where if you just...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
were able to connect with more people in your real life it would be so much better for you we wouldn't have to fall down this rabbit hole and like we can get into politics we went to but there's it breaks my heart so much and i wish better for people and i'm yeah thanks for the super chat bring me bring me back let's bring it back let's bring it back bring me back um let's see here joshua mitchell says uh be careful on the pax mic the cardboard crack is very strong

I saw that going around a lot, and I saw people disappointed that Half-Life 3 wasn't there, and I need y'all to look inward and think about that. It's Half-Life 3, guys. You can't be mad that Half-Life 3 isn't showing up. You know what?

And we're back. Mike, let's talk about the winners. I want to go through all the winners of the awards from last night, starting with Player's Voice. That was given to Black Myth Wukong. The Game Changer Awards, which we talked about earlier, that was won by the one and only Amir Satfat. What was that, Kevin? Do you want to go in order of this? Do you have an article?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
No, I'm going from bottom up, just because I would like to end with Game of the Year. Okay, okay. Best esports team was T1 of League of Legends.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
1,000%. Fantastic stuff. And I think it's a good answer. So, you know, of course, I'm part of the Game Awards feature class. I went in a few years ago when they first introduced the program. Congratulations. There's been a lot of feedback with the Game Awards feature class, right? Like, the feature class hasn't necessarily been always happy as far as, like, how it's been handled.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
And, like, you know, last year there was the whole debacle of us, like, the Game Awards feature class section being placed behind a camera boom and us not being able to see the stage. And, like, those are tickets that we still pay for. Like, we get a discount, which is cool. but people are still paying money for those tickets.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I think there was enough feedback that made Jeff and the team go, all right, how do we do this? What do we turn this into? Do we take away Future Class, do a different thing? I think Game Changer, the way they just did it here, is a good answer to the complaints that people had to Future Class.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
To speak to it more, too, I think the big thing here that I do love about Game Changers is it is about highlighting somebody, putting them on stage, giving them a microphone, and allowing them to speak and allowing them to do something that inflicts change, that inspires people, that actually feels like it matters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I think the problem with feature class, feature class as a concept, is it does feel like a... an award that is not even an award, right? It feels like, I guess, an honor that is, hey, we got a bunch of people. Here's 30 people and they're diverse and put them on a webpage. All right, cool, on to the next thing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I'm a different person than I was earlier this year, Mike. For the better. Because right now, it is magic. It is wrestling. It is anime. That's not who I was in January, Mike. I love that, Bless.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
And it almost feels like, hey, here's how many diverse people that I can highlight as opposed to actually highlighting them in a way that matters. Last year, there was a whole thing of members of the future class wanting to get that space to be able to talk about what's going on with the genocide in Gaza and what's going on with layoffs and other things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
And it very much felt like the future class was ignored and not paid attention to. I think that made a lot of people mad and a lot of people upset. So I think this is the right way to do it, the way you did it this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
And I'm not talking about me in particular. Yeah. And like, obviously I think it's a good hearted concept. And I think there are a lot of cool things about future class. Right. I think that first few years of it was like a, Oh man, it's nice to be acknowledged for something. Right. But I think when you take a deeper look at the program, it's one of those things where it is, we can do this better.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
And I think game changer is a better way of doing it. Cool. You got best esports athlete. That was won by Faker. Best esports. The GOAT. The GOAT.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
small indie game about poker of all things, but being such a well-developed game and being, I think, something that took a lot of the gaming audience by storm, well-deserved and also just really cool that a game that looks and plays like that can be honored to such an extent.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And then with Astro Bot, I really hope that this reverberates through a lot of AAA as far as how to make a good-ass video game. It doesn't always have to be Elden Ring or God of War. I love Elden Ring and God of War. Don't stop making those. And Astro Bot can be just as legitimate. And It Takes Two can be just as legitimate.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
As long as you're putting in that creativity and that polish in there, these are games that can have the ability to really connect with people and games that you can put out and You know, not necessarily not have to worry about them being overlooked or worry about them not connecting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24

Let's move on to story number two.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Geralt is in The Witcher 4, and that is indeed Doug Cockle's voice in the trailer. CD Projekt confirms. This is Wesley Yenpool at IGN. If you watched The Witcher 4's debut trailer during the Game Awards 2024, you'll have heard a line of dialogue that sounded very much like it was coming from the previous protagonist, Geralt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Quote, While Ciri is confirmed as the main character for The Witcher 4, fans were left wondering whether Geralt would appear in the game, which is set after the events of The Witcher 3.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
ign can confirm that gerald is indeed the witcher for in the witcher 4 and that is indeed the voice of veteran gerald's voice actor doug cockle confirmation from cd project itself which told ign quote gerald will appear in the game but we don't want to spoil his role precisely you'll have to wait to learn more uh for now and quote we're going to end the article there but mike exciting of course he's got to be in there it's gerald

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Yeah, I mean... I didn't play enough of The Witcher 3 to be even able to predict, right? But I'm so excited for this. This is one where I... I mean, they got big shoes to fill here. Or not big shoes to fill, because they're making it. But it's a big thing to live up to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
The Witcher 3, when it came out in 2015, I think immediately sent ripples through the industry as far as how much of a step up it felt as an RPG. And time has moved on, right? It's going to be, by the time this comes out, over a decade since the release of The Witcher 4. Or since the release of The Witcher 3, I mean. And a lot has changed. A lot has been innovated on. Baldur's Gate 3 came out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
You know what I mean? Cyberpunk came out, right? I am so fascinated to see what The Witcher 4 looks like. Because I believe in them with this. I think they're going to knock this out the park. And I have to put an asterisk on that because we're coming off of Cyberpunk, which had a very extremely rough launch and all that stuff. But The Witcher 4 is one that I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
That is going to be one of the biggest games of the year the year that it comes out, right? It is going to be very highly anticipated by the time we get there. So I'm just very excited and curious to see what that looks like in 2027 or 2028.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
world like there's just so much you go down the list of like can't wait to see that can't wait to see that how do you improve this far out prediction for you right the last time this came out Witcher 3 came out in 2015 the same year as Fallout 4 and I'll say I think it's safe to say that Witcher 3 was the winner there as far as like the game of the year conversation
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
If this comes out same year as the next Elder Scrolls. You read my mind. What do you think ends up happening? Do you think it's a repeat?

I mean, I'm excited. It's probably going to be, what, another Divinity or maybe it's something entirely different. Yeah. But... Yeah, I don't know. I think we're in a great time for RPGs. They're like RPGs in the last generation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Let's talk about Elden Ring with story number three. Elden Ring Night Rain features bosses from Dark Souls. This is Ryan Dinsdale at IGN. From Software surprised everyone at the Game Awards 2024 last night with the reveal of co-op spin-off Elden Ring Night Rain. But... if that's not shocking enough. It also features bosses from Dark Souls.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Fans were quick to notice the debut trailer for Elden Ring, Night Rain, appeared to feature one of the Dark Souls' most infamous bosses, the Nameless King from Dark Souls 3. And game director Junya Ishizaki confirmed to Famitsu in an interview translated by Automaton that baddies from Dark Souls will in fact appear.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Their appearances will be limited, Ishizaki said, as they represent creatures that have strayed into this twisted version of Limgrave from other universes. While he only mentioned Dark Souls, this theoretically opens the door for other FromSoftware games, such as Demon's Souls, Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, and, dare we say it, Bloodborne, the cameo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Elden Ring Night Reign drops up to three players into a condensed version of Limgrave from the main Elden Ring and tasks them with surviving. Enemies and structures are procedurally generated to allow for a varied experience with players encouraged to battle to grow stronger and survive the night when a boss appears.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Surviving three days and nights spawns a major boss for players to take down and the game has eight in total for players to conquer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Demon Hacker in chat says Elden Risk of Rain. It has that vibe of, it seems like it is just a roguelite, like an Elden Ring co-op survival roguelite game, which is exactly what I want out of a video game. Even though I still stand by, I think it is kind of a weird one. I think it is a bit of a bizarre turn, a bizarre path from software as far as what you can do with the Elden Ring IP.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Because, I mean, this strikes me as very non-canon. Right? And this might be more of an Andy question, but like... Yeah, he brought up the lore and the story.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
It feels so much like Metal Gear Survive. And I don't mean that derogatory. I mean that just in the way of Like, hey, you're a game developer. You want to make something. You want to, like, continue to feed the Elden Ring fan base that, you know, loves this game and loves the combat. Maybe as a game developer, you have some gameplay ideas you want to mess with, right? And, like, you... Come on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
The combat that they have in these fucking games, I think, would work so well in a roguelite setting, could work so well in a boss rush slash co-op setting, that I think they look at that, they look at the assets that they've made already with Elden Ring and go, yo, we can make something and put it out in... two or three years if we wanted to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24

Thank you. That means I'm not on it. Story number four. Cat Bailey and more are leaving IGN. Um, this broke recently, like during games cast. And so I've not been able to like look into it that as deeply as I'd like for this, but, um, I'm pulling from a tweet from Ethan gotch, uh, from Kotaku on Twitter. We, he tweeted out IGN news director.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
A maker's dozen!

The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Cat Bailey is leaving today along with an exodus of other employees following buyout offers from Ziff Davis, um, an incredible talent and games media veteran whose work I've loved and followed, uh, for what feels like forever. Wild stuff. Of course, Kat Bailey, super talented. She's been on Kind of Funny before. I've hung out with Kat Bailey plenty of times before.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Yeah, like how many people just get their news off of Twitter or get their news off of YouTubers and podcasters? Fuck them, you know? Like, this is, I think, concerning and scary for what it means for video games media. And, like, video games media barely feels like a thing anymore anyway, right? Video games journalism barely even feels like a thing anymore anyway.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
But I think for me, IGN always felt like the final boss of once IGN falls, then it's all just gone. It's all just over. And this feels like IGN falling, which is scary. Like, I hope... And I, like... I hope... I'm overreacting. I hope, like, you know, this is just another, hey, this is a handful of people, like, whatever it is, like, they're still gonna sustain or do whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I don't expect IGN to fully go away within the next few years, right? But, like, I do, I think what I expect is, based off of this, is for IGN to become a bit more of just a, we're pumping out content.

We're pumping out guides, maybe less personality-focused, maybe less the opinion pieces, and less of, like, the investigative reporting and stuff like that, and more so just top 10 bosses in Elden Ring, top 10 Magic Arena decks that you can make with the new command.

Yeah, like, we've seen so many websites turn into that, turn into click farms as opposed to, I think, actual worthwhile content with personality, with, you know... tangible benefit for the readers and all this stuff. I'm so scared that that is the road we're entering with this.

Massive games cast. I want to do a quick, you know, run through of the notes I took.

If I had to guess, based on just what we know about Elden Ring Nightreign, like, this isn't based off of anything. Like, I've not previewed the game or seen it or anything, right? Just based off of the details we know, I'm saying... Throw it in. 83%.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Because it's right on the money. Because, of course, you mentioned that yesterday during the show. And because there's so much to talk about, we don't always get to dig into things. KFG, we've got all the space in the world. Of course. So I want to dig into that because, Mike, me and you were hired at kind of funny as hosts slash producers. Yes. Right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
And I feel like we both have that production side to us that wants to, like, tweak things, that want to make things better, that, like, can see the vision as far as what the dream version of a thing can be. So for you, putting your production hat on, What are the tweaks you would make to make sure that the showings aren't overshadowing the awards for you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
How are you feeling? Is your energy up after last night?

Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
yeah i hear exactly what you're talking about right and like i think it's tough to figure out how to fit fit it in in a way that allows people to who are watching to care and not feel like it's being drawn out or not feel like it is oh man all right like here's the dip in the show because usually when there is the dip in the show it's usually jeff p and the bills bills right it's usually like okay here's the zen list trailer stand up go use the restroom walk away yeah

The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
Oh, here are the commercials. Here's the mobile stuff that's going to come out and come through. I think yesterday's show for me was the most tightly produced and like, I think best paced show. And I totally, I totally hear you and I'm with you as far as, there is a leaning more towards the announcements than the awards.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
But I think this also goes back to the Greg, uh, Greg conversation that we had during our, how to fix the game awards, um, uh, conversation or games cast, which was Greg being like, yo, you're looking at a duck and wondering why it's not a chicken or whatever the fuck he said. Right. Like, I think, I do think that,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
the way in which they dish out the awards awards kind of is the duck portion of what this is right like this is about the hype this is about like Jeff throwing all of his production effort into a thing and he's trying to make something that is as entertaining to watch and I think the thing that I do appreciate about it is that I think more so than all the previous years of the game awards it did feel like I was getting speeches that I was invested in I was getting moments like the game changer thing I was getting

The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
The orchestra killed it. The orchestra killed it. But I do think that you might be onto something as far as a red carpet situation. I like that they call the opening act the opening act. I think that maybe that does give room to a 30 minute portion before that that is the pre-show. And that could be a red carpet. Let's talk to the developers. Let's actually talk to the studios. I know me and you

The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I assume maybe... I'll speak for myself, right? I don't need to see that many celebrities. Like, it's always fun to see Snoop Dogg and all that stuff. I get more excited about hearing what Sven Vink has to say from the Baldur's Gate team, right? Like, I get excited to hear what the... I didn't write down his name, but the guy who won Game Changers and gave such a great speech.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
I loved hearing what he had to say or what Nicholas Doucette had to say about how much he loves Nintendo when he's accepting the award for Astro Bot. For me, those were the best moments of the Game Awards when you're talking about personalities being given a microphone. Those are the best moments. We should be able to figure out how to make more of those moments happen as opposed to
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Witcher 4, Elden Ring: Nightrein New Details After TGAs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.13.24
a celebrity on stage going on and on about whatever it is. I like that.

The thing is the numbers are not going to get there, right? Like there's a conversation to be had, I guess it's tough to have this conversation now, not knowing what the price is going to be yet. Also, this is not knowing where the world is going to be as far as how long do these prices hold? How long do these tariffs hold? Right? Like how all this shit goes down. Uh,

Let's say $650. All right, we're talking about a $650 piece of hardware and $80 games. Who the fuck wants to do that, right? Like who the fuck is going to be able to keep up with that? You're not going to see the same software sales, right?

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
And when you're not seeing those numbers, what does that do to Nintendo as far as what they can do, what they have to do, the changes that you have to make, what projects do we see canceled, what layoffs do we see happen from the company, right? Like, this is going to have a trickle-down effect on Nintendo in a way where what could have been the follow-up, like you're saying, to...

And the conversation that I've seen gamesindustry.biz and plenty of other folks have as far as how many people have... How many of the gaming audience are playing games that are older than six years old or whatever, right? Like...

I think that's going to balloon even more as far as, all right, I'm not able to afford new hardware. And guess what? A lot of people coming up who are interested in video games, they are way more interested in PC gaming now more than ever. And when we're talking about a company, I'm going on a track, but stick with me, right?

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
When we're talking about a company like Riot, who put out Valorant that is free to play, but also very scalable, and you can play it on a shit piece of hardware, you can play it on an advanced piece of hardware, right? Like, I think those are the games that are going to thrive, right? The free to play, hey, I can play this on my, like, toaster PC, and...

I mean, I think it would define how you... I think it depends on how you define collapse. I think you might see another dark times in the industry. But I think it's the thing where you always see shit in waves, right? Like, there are good times, and then there are bad times.

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
five years and I'm saying we're gonna get worse like you are gonna see this shit get worse before it gets better and I'm very fascinated like one of the questions I asked I forget if I asked Adam Boyes this actually was like what does I think I did what does a healthy video games industry look like and like one of the things that he talked about was the fact that like yeah like you have to see you see things adjust right you see things change right like economy changes the way people interact with video games changes trends change all this shit and things need to adjust to it
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
I think that makes perfect sense. And this is what I'll say, is that I had the time of my life this week. Me too. I think for me and you, and you've been in the industry for decades. You've been in the industry for a very long time at this point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Yeah, like, things are changing right now, and things are getting fucking worse right now because of the tariffs, because of the mix of bad economy, bad politics going on, and shit just getting expensive in terms of video games becoming more complex, more expensive to make, all this shit. We're going to get out of that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
And so we have a... But I think, again, it's like, I think it's an adjustment, right? I think you're going to see companies maybe do the right thing of, all right, we got to scale towards worse PCs. Like, we got to make sure we can scale towards the things that people actually have. That way we can make those games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Like, the sucky thing is, this might mean, and again, the way that this is going to affect everything. Because I want to say, this might mean you invest even more in mobile gaming because people are going to have more access to that.

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Yeah, but the fact is that people will always need smartphones, right? And like, maybe you aren't getting the high-end smartphone. Maybe you're getting the mid-end smartphone. But I think on the software side, if you're a game developer, you might have to start making that your target because a lot of people are going to own those. Like, there's going to be so many dominoes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
That's the thing is we just saw so many dominoes get created before our eyes of the juice coming out in the last day. Right. And like shit is going to have to, people are going to have to adjust. Developers are going to have to adjust. And I'm not saying that's a good thing. I'm not saying that's like a, Oh man, you just gotta get with it.

And I'm saying that is a path, right? Again, I don't think all paths are going to be a thing of like, oh yeah, just go free-to-play. That's going to fix everything. I am saying you cannot keep putting out games for $80 on the most expensive platforms and expect to hit the same sales. So you're going to have to do other shit.

And there's something that I think episode one does where, as I'm watching, I'm like, man, I should boot back up Devil May Cry. Like, there's something about this world that really works that is just, like... Dude, just give a dude a sword and some guns.

Ebony and ivory. Just, like, you know, let me slash up some demons. And I appreciate it. The story premise reminded me of Yu Yu Hakusho as well. Just as far as, like, there's a demon world.

I believe you. It was nice to see Marathon take over, not just the Marathon page, but then I believe the official PlayStation accounts also changed their banners and the PlayStation blog as well. They're trying to build up to something. I hope we get there as far as getting hype up because I can't imagine any other PlayStation game right now that has, I guess, more people against it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Because I don't want to say there's not hype for Marathon because I do think that Bungie has a separate audience that is excited for whatever they put out. But coming off of Concord and coming off of just general vibes, people are not into the ongoing multiplayer strategy that PlayStation has been trying to attempt. And so I'm very fascinated to see whatever this is,

oh okay this is not what not that concord ended i forget where concord was but like it started just did it start the state of play yeah it was the state of play essentially that can't be how you present this thing like you gotta i them teasing it outside of any word of an upcoming state of play gives me more confidence already than concord this needs to be its own thing it needs to have its own beat and yeah like i like you said right i think for me the biggest complaint the biggest fault with concord was that they showed and they didn't let people tell

and when you just show a multiplayer game and go oh yeah you'll have different heroes and they'll have abilities and it'll be this it'll be that right we watch it and we go all right cool like i don't know really what to make of this also the characters look generic but if you get this into the hands of people hopefully you have the i don't know the bungee creators of the world or like you have the ign previewers of the world be like yo this is something that you should check out it's all stuff i i hope that's what they do this time around yeah me too me too

However, man, I wish that, like, in that reveal trailer that we got, the idea of a Switch 2, like, full-fledged single-player from software thing, single-player in the loose sense, obviously there's multiplayer in it, but that would have been such a, damn, like, you got him.

Here's the thing, Tim. Because you had opinions last year and a couple years prior about the design of Astro Bot. And as time has gone on, I think I've come around to your side. No!

In terms of gameplay, right? Like, that's the thing is, they've nailed everything with Astro Bot, except for maybe, like, I don't know, a little bit of... a little bit of a pizzazz. You know what I mean? Like, get some better villains in there. I don't want this fucking green alien guy. Now, I say that to say that an Astro Bot movie or TV show or an adaptation, I am not...

as excited about it unless they do the thing where they have all the different PlayStation characters represented as Astrobots.

Yeah. I think my main worry with that is, of course, PlayStation, very popular brand. Everybody knows what PlayStation is. But is it so powerful that you can make a movie about the PlayStation console itself? Can you make a PlayStation a character in that way? I mean, I think we're there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
I think you can only do that with something like it's funny watching the studio the Apple TV Plus show last week because like this gives me hints of the of the first episode of that where it is like what kind of IP what kind of brand makes sense like what kind of brain do people have that connection with right I think Barbie is such a good example of like all right there's a character there there's a like generational like many generations of Barbie all this shit right
