Right? They already did. When you play SSX 3 now on back compatible, they up-res'd it to 4K, and it actually looks really good. Death Jam. Yeah, bring back EA Big. And Def Jam, of course. Bring it back. Def Jam Vendetta. Oh, shit. Come on. But I fucking loved Sifu, right? Sifu is a fucking baller game. Literally, they said, oh, the guys from Sifu are basically doing that, but now it's football.
I was like, you plucked that game out of my brain. Crazy. I'm so excited about Rematch.

Sorry, NHL hits. That was midway. Oh. That was midway. MLB slugfest. But every fucking hit was like, and it was only like three on three hockey, right? Every hit was like, bam, through the glass. NFL blitz, Gary. I'm not an American football guy, so that didn't work for me, but NHL hits, I played the shit out of that.

I don't care about the delay. GTA 6 just got delayed. Games get delayed all the time. It's kind of par for the course now. To me, it's not controversial. Take the time you need to get it right. Get it right. I'd rather it ship next year in great shape than ship to hit some arbitrary deadline for the holiday season or whatever, but now it's janky or whatever. Yeah.

Something like this is too big a deal to worry about how quickly they need to ship it. And it ends up creating more problems than it's worth when it comes out and it's got issues, right? And we've seen this with the Avengers game. We've seen this with Suicide Squad, right? Those big IPs don't help you if the game is not fully baked, right? So... And Skydance has infinite money cheat, right?

They have the infinite money cheat code. So they can just say, yeah, take as long as you need. So I think that's all good. In terms of the game itself, cinematics look absolutely incredible. The 1943 setting is very cool. I'm sure there'll be some elements of today's gaming community that won't be happy about fighting the Nazis because they think the Nazis are fucking great.

But for the most part, I think it all looks good. The thing that's most telling, of course, is we haven't seen any gameplay. These cinematics are amazing. But we might as well be looking at a movie trailer.

right now because until we know i'm guessing it's going to be third person uncharted style last of us style moving around doing shit indiana whatever you know whatever it's going to be one of those things but we just don't know amy obviously is terrific one of the most talented writers in that to me is the number one reason to be excited about this because amy is just brilliant um and i think she's going to crush this uh but we just you know

Again, when they show nothing but cinematics, how much can you really take from it?

Well, you say that, but it does feel that we're a little bit... Oh, that high is like kind of peak... I think we peaked a while ago, right? Like, the peak was Endgame, right? And since then, I feel like we've been coming off... Not just movies, but everywhere. I mean, look, Suicide Squad was no good, right? The Avengers game. But Spider-Man hits and you go crazy for a superhero game.

I mean, I'm just saying there's like... Post-Endgame, whether it be movies or... Up until Endgame, you just knew that pretty much every movie was going to be a banger, right? And now it's like, eh, who knows? One's good, one's bad. And with the games now, it's like, okay, great, you've got Captain America in it, but that's no guarantee it's going to be any good.
