Like, for that... game to be that good and draw me in. The criticism so many people had with it was, no, I'm not going to pay full price for just a multiplayer game. And it's that thing where, while that argument still persists sometimes with these games, well, it should be free to play, it should be whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I think we're in such a different space right now that you could come out and just make a fucking Titanfall multiplayer game. And again... I know I'm bringing in the scope then, but if you launched a, and I hate to say it, but a free-to-play Titanfall 3, a Titanfall that does have a thing, like we're not talking about trying to spin up Concord here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
We are talking about, we've brought Titanfall back. It is a $29.99, $49.99 experience. You're getting X amount of maps. You're getting this thing, and it's going to be multiplayer only, and you're going to go out there and have a great time, and it's going to be this twist on the gameplay. And I know I'm, Throwing out a lot of question marks as I'm talking about bullet points.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
It would be on the back of the box because I don't know. I'm not respawn. I'm not the people who made this right, but I think just making a Titanfall multiplayer game in 2025. I do think you might have missed the window. I do think that would have done a lot better a couple years ago if you were to say we're just making it, but I also don't think that the juice is totally gone there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Where if you made it with the right... This is just not EA's bag. If you made it with the right expectations, realistic expectations for what you're doing, what the Titanfall audience is now, and what it could become, hopefully you do knock it out of the park. You bring in people like me, you get the whole thing, and you go.

It was that idea where you're... Now, Barrett's showing Titanfall 2's launch trailer, right? And when they were like, hey... Titanfall is back for Titanfall 2. We know it was a disappointment on the first time around, but we're putting a single player in here. Single player campaign, everybody who likes first person shooters is like, oh my god, it's the best campaign of all time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I don't like campaigns in FPS. It's just not my thing. So that was actually not a turn off to me, but an investment that I doubt did the returns EA wanted out of it. I doubt that putting that in there clearly didn't bring in enough people to make a Titanfall 3 to make a better, 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
We wake up, he slept in our bed because he's sick, right? So we wake up Tuesday morning and he like rubs the sleep from his eyes and he looks over and he goes, how was the movie? And I was like, that's an absurd question for a three-year-old to ask his father in bed. I'm like, the movie was great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know where you go from here with Titanfall. Again, as somebody who loved one, I don't know. I don't think you need it necessarily. I bet EA thinks they don't need it. How many Ls are they taking with Battlefield all the time? And the Call of Duty race is not the quality of the game. It's a really tough one that I think it reminds me a lot of Mirror's Edge.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Where so many Mirror's Edge fans were like, we want another Mirror's Edge, and then Mirror's Edge 2 came out, and they're like, alright, well, that didn't do shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
And I was like, the movie was, it was really good, Ben. We liked it a lot. He's like, cool. He's like, what is it? And I'm like, it's superhero. He's like, is Batman in it? I'm like, no. And I had to start explaining DC Marvel stuff. He just thinks they're all in the same universe right now. Idiot. But yeah, we did that. But then, so then, you know, I stayed home with him yesterday as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

That was another thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
campaign or whatever because that is true multiplayer stuff was still fucking awesome and titanfall 2 yeah but if somebody else went through the chat i'm sorry it's gone now they're saying i nobody played titanfall 2 and i was there and that was a similar thing for me as a titanfall 1 fan i did the campaign and then i jumped into the multiplayer and the multiplayer felt the same and i there wasn't that energy now that's me you know personally why is there no energy there no there's no multiplayer because the shooter fans are off playing those things so it's like this whole cyclical thing going on
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
But I said cyclical.

I did morning shift. Jen did afternoon. And so we went and ran errands because, again, he's not sick, especially yesterday. But it was like, okay, the school's policy is, you know, a day since the fever broke is when he can come to school or whatever. And the fever broke late in the day Monday. So I was like, all right, we're screwed. And so we went out and, like, we're chilling out.

EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I've been looking through.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Well, that's a great question. I think when you look at a number of 13,700 employees, that's too many employees. I think that's too many. And I think as we have had a video game boom
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
for so long and now we are in that wane where we are you know as Matt Piscitella pointed out we are a mature market now and tariffs and this and an unpredictable stock market you know all these different things that are going on outside of gaming but are affecting gaming and deciding how much money there is to spend how much energy people are going into how many people are playing the old games versus they're not buying new games I think as every publisher and developer but every publisher for this conversation grapples with that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I think when you look at a company that has 13,700 employees, that's a bigger problem to grapple with, and that's why you see stuff like 300 to 400 positions be eliminated like that because it is shit. We got to keep the shareholder value up, and we got to figure this out, and we got to be profitable, and it reminds me so much of the one company. I'm blanking. No, it was a fucking – was it a –
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
god damn it game company game studio who is the game company that was like we got to double down on the pillars and they we got like three franchises oh you want embracer yes thank you embrace i want to say saudi arabia which of course i mean i was like i'm like that's not them it's embracer yeah of course large wing for who's like we got chris dynamics we got we're gonna we're gonna exploit the ip yeah we're gonna exploit lord of the rings exactly and tomb raider insane thing

And he was like, can I get a Monster Truck at Target? I'm like, well, are you going to be good at Costco? He's like, yeah. And he was great at Costco. I'm like, all right, let's go get a Monster. we're having a great time. We're chatting it up. He's telling me stories about his monster. And so then we went and got, we were going to pick up lunch on the way home.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
And so it's like, that's how I think, even though we give them so much shit for saying that, and of course, fucking over the industry by buying and closing so many people and having bad ideas, I think everybody internally is doing that. Where I think it is EA being like, cool, we are a Mass Effect, Star Wars, you know what I mean? They're doing... Obviously, developer by developer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
So we're going to be like, Bioware, you're Mass Effect. Respawn, you're Star Wars.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Make Apex make money again. I think that's what you're going to see from all these different people. And the same thing, I can't speak to... Are we not going to see another Dead Space remake?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
There used to be so many other EA originals. Yarny and Unraveled. You know what I mean? I think Yarny and Unraveled was the same.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
That was me. Sorry.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I mean, it's easy to make all those plays and those decisions and finance those stuff that isn't going to get you double-digit growth when there's a spigot of money just spitting out cash in the back, whether it be FIFA, whether it be Madden, college football, whatever. That was the argument, if you remember, in...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
So we went to the restaurant, Nick, the Greek, what up? And I was like, Hey, you know, order for Greg. Like, Oh, it's not ready yet. I'm like, Oh, no problem. So the only tables they had were high tops. And so I put him in the high top chair across from me. And we sat there like we're at Buffalo wild wings, just chatting about his cars. And this, he's like, dad, when I get home,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
2015, when they announced EA Originals and we had Peter Moore on our set at E3 when it was kind of funny as the secondary GameSpot set. And he made that comment, right, of like, listen, the sports games and whatever else at the time, that makes money, which means we can make something like an EA Original. We can make Unraveled and it doesn't need to have that return on investment.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Now that you're here and everybody's getting cold feet and nobody knows what's going to happen tomorrow with the fucking stock market, you have people going, we don't have that anymore. We don't have that luxury. We have to be calculated on what we're doing here and why we're doing it. My final question. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Yeah.

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? I don't believe in EA and their commitment to video games and art and all this other stuff to figure that out. For no particular reason. Let's look at how much EA execs recently made. I don't believe enough in EA's commitment to any vision. And that's my problem. EA's commitment to anything is money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
And again, let's not act like everybody else is doing this for the love of the game necessarily. It's a business. You're trying to make money. But I do think EA is trying to make the most amount of money. And again, they have nearly 14,000 employees. So do I believe in skate? Do I believe in this? It's a harder question to answer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Is Skate going to catch fire to the level that EA wants it to to finance 14th? No. I just don't think that's possible. I don't think that's possible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
You think there's a big enough skating community video game group fans?

I'm going to hide them in my shirt. Mom won't see it coming. That's a great prank, Ben. That's a really good one. I love this one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I still think, even though I am definitely odd man out, and I'm probably way too, the glass is half full on this. I still think, you know, they were talking about it last week, this week, last week, about it always being online. You know, they're doing microtransactions in the alpha or whatever. And those are the things I worry about. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I still think that could be really good for this kind of game. But then when we were talking about Skate, it was one of those conversations where, Barrett, was it you talking about, well, when I think of Skate, I don't think of being online or whatever. I think of the story. Whereas for me, when I think about Skate,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
in my memories of skate i remember and i know it's so quaint now signing on to skate and then going to watch the little youtube the little videos remember you could upload videos so i was watching people's tricks and shit like that so it was already a community of people trying to do cool skate tricks and also basically jackass shit look how bad i hurt this guy and i bounced him off it's like pain i bounced him off this railing he landed on the the seat the park bench like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Oh, dude, Ben talks. You guys, first off, you don't see him a lot. But when you do, there's always that. I'm in the office and all the uncles and aunts is here. So it's like I'm quiet because I'm trying to get a vibe. And then when he does start talking, he's super excited. You know what I mean? Kids are way different when they're just in their usual thing. But he's sitting there playing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
If I'm thinking of skate being free to play and being online and having my transactions, my personal interpretation of what that's going to be for Greg Miller is a sign on every day for 15, 20, 30, do the challenges, see what the new hotness is. Is there something in the shop? I like, okay, bounce off.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
But I think there's going to be a group that is looking for a Tony Hawk and Bam Margera is walking me through what's going on next. And I think both perspectives are valid. I think the short, you know, let's get in. Let's have a challenge. Let's race. Let's do this thing. It's like Fortnite, but with skating and not shooting. But 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
There's something there that could work and it could catch fire with a TikTok community and a YouTube community.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
It could easily be you sign on, you make a little party with your friends, you go, and it's like, hey, guys, I'm going to lay out a challenge. You click record. You go and do it. Bam. You land it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
But you look at this, and that's not what this is. This is a million skaters dropping in, doing the only up challenges.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
There clearly is an audience for skate. You see in this video a million times little replies pop up. You know, when I hosted EA Play before Austin Creed, a.k.a. Xavier Woods, killed it. Like, I would always make a joke about it because there are so many of us that love skate and demand skate and all about skate, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I'm like, all right, cool. And the guy's like, oh, order for Greg. I'm like, cool. I got up, hopped down, grabbed the bag. I turn around. Ben is on the ground, clearly stunned. And it was that he totally saw me hop down. He's like, oh, we're hopping down. He hopped down. And, you know, for him, it's like four stories. He went down and landed on his ass. And I looked at him and he was like, ah!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
But it was that idea of is that going to be an audience that's big enough for EA? You know, you really sit there and you hope for Skate and for the developers and for a franchise we love that this is going to be a college football-like moment where they starved us of college football for so many years that when it came out last year, best-selling game, right? Everybody's insane.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Everybody's happy to be back. I hope Skate is like that. Where it is, servers are crashing when they finally open it up and it's just so many people are trying to get in. But the idea of getting in there and like, I know I'm, every game I play, right, I'm trying to be like fucking, I just want the perfect looking character for me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I'm getting in there and I'm buying whatever, with real money or not, but the Superman tie-in shirt or the goofy ass skate shirt and I'm trying to make it look like me and then I am out there doing tricks with you for half an hour before I go back and play Oblivion. Yeah, that sounds awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Are we making a skate crew? Are we having skate rooms? Are we doing skate meetups? Yeah. That could all be awesome.

This episode is brought to you by Imperial. We have told you all how important it is to developers that you wishlist the games you're interested in. So, if this sounds cool to you, make sure you wishlist it. I can't tell you how much it helps. 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 enormous, imposing monolith.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
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
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
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. You'll need to make sure you have the right gear to take on the harder cartograms.

Build your mercenary, choose your gear, master your abilities, and take down everything in your path in Imperial.

EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
It's not, you know, it doesn't look like it does. And I think that, again, that's one of my problems of like, I want to restart an Xbox and glorious 4K giant TV. Yeah. And then... Life boating.

Rather than what I started by life boating. Yeah.

I'm like, well, I'm telling you a fucking story again. Here it is. And then, you know what I mean? But then he was excited to go to school today. And he had a great time when he walked in.

Why did you sit in your car? Why did you sit in the laundromat? Or do they not have seats?

They made this clear as day. I sent this to Barrett. You know, March 27th, 2025, we all learned about virtual game cards. They showed the card moving around. They showed you what they're doing. They showed how they're screwing you over. They showed what was up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
that copy of your game at the same time as I'm playing it 100% yes oh somewhere else that's how Jen and I did Diablo for quite a while where before I had a code for her she I she would log into the my home unit where you know if you're not familiar you go into your settings your PlayStation 5 you say this is my designated home unit same thing you do with Xbox right yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
where then she would log in as herself on that unit, she would play on hers, and I would play on my secondary one. Of course, the rub being here, if you're not familiar, is that a home unit, if the internet went off, you could just play the games you've downloaded there, no problem, forever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
With the secondary unit, it needs to ping the online every so often, otherwise it'll eventually be like, hey, you got 50 minutes to play until this thing's shutting down. Gotcha. I didn't even know that. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
well it's like again it's such a specific this is the permutations right and this is one of those things that we always run into of like with the amount of like when i'm trying to review a game and it's not even out yet but it's like you're doing this and then it's like okay i turn on the xbox but like to have a hellblade a few times where it's like oh well your xbox is still uploading the save like why is it taking so long to upload the save from work when i'm already here like blah blah blah like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
usually everything works flawlessly but the way we all have to break everything because of how we run around with games and systems is different let alone for this where it's back to yeah if you're going to talk about now trying to play with a family right how do you do this and so there's fixes i mean like we're using this is happening today it's all live we gotta you gotta but like you know when they're talking about uh switch to stuff with the new mario kart world right you can share that game so theoretically you could all play that way you wouldn't need it i'm sure there's gonna be limitations on modes and things like that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
But specifically like this, yeah, you're jumping around like that. But this was the move of moving over to this card thing. You lock all your cards in there. Yeah, you're going to have a bad time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Yeah. It's, uh,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
an interesting one and we're talking about use cases that i think i'm about to venture into that i like i haven't worried about before right where we're about to be where ben's going to want to play all this stuff and i'm not going to know any different because that i'd be interested to hear from parents who are but also i don't know so the way it was working before would be like you're playing a game offline or they say that both of them can play online right yeah yeah okay okay
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
It sucks. It's what it's going to be as everybody wrestles with digital ownership and what that actually means.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
This came through, I was like, I've never, I don't even know what this fucking game is.

Okay. It'll be interesting to see what you say about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
No, you're not crazy. I just don't think it was like anybody swept anything under the rug.

EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Every time he fucking gets mentioned, someone mentions the USB.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I don't think it'll work for you. You don't think so? No. Why? I mean, because it's a Bethesda game and it's an old Bethesda game. Now, are all Bethesda games old? That's something we'll talk about on the review. But it's like, I think the things that have turned you off about Starfield or whatever might turn you off here to a degree.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I'm sorry. Our owner, Andrew Wilson, just walked in. What was that? Oh, I shouldn't talk about squirting. My bad.

So Chad's the one sweeping it under the rug.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I think he was like, that's a magic trick. He's like, that's magic. That woman is performing magic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I don't know, and this is a big conversation I want to have on it, because my hypothesis has been that at some point people forgot who Bethesda was, and they have been that whole thing of like, well, Fallout 4, well, Starfield, and they get them like, oh, this is a Bethesda game, and they forget again what it is. So it's like, I love a Bethesda game. I'm having a great time with Oblivion.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Final WeNews item. I'm about to post these Xbox Game Pass and Towerbone creator codes. Founder pack codes. My blue sky. So go over there, Game Over, right now. Three, two, one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I mean, it's great to update your game, obviously, and do that. But I think you rarely get that second first impression where, you know, we're talking about like Apex. Can they ever return to being a shining beacon for EA of making money? Like, I think that's a really hard uphill battle you need to do. And Apex to Apex Titanfall, whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I don't know something that is like it's new again or it is a brand new game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I don't think I'll roll credits on Oblivion, not because I don't enjoy it. I think I'm just going to play as much as I can for that review to talk about it and talk to Mike about it, who's like such an Oblivion kid, and then me being such a Bethesda person, Fallout 3 on. But I think there's so many other things I need to play, want to play, and yada, yada, yada.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
And I'm not saying it's a good thing, but it's also that they had to swing and miss so hard on such a grand stage after years of being everybody's E3 most anticipated game. You know what I mean? Yeah. So many games come out and disappointing and then
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
write themselves or do other stuff and nobody cares you just don't get as much press about it right like yeah i you know i'm a weirdo that loves starfield right and it's like starfield disappointed people but it didn't like it doesn't fucking work it's trash it's a zero out of ten is it was and so like when they update stuff and do stuff people are still like yeah it's just more yeah yeah they really fix it well it wasn't really broken it's a whole thing
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Wait, I thought you were doing a bit. I thought it was a sign. You said it's our new thing. I thought you were saying it's like, oh, well, you've been on a show with somebody and started saying BNG or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I mean, BNG is fine. We can adopt it. Everybody start using that in other shows and get the other guys to say it, but don't tell them it means us. Barrett, you're sworn to secrecy.

I've got the itch back to go to Claire, get back to Expedition 33. I put four or five hours in, right? And then now I'm thinking, I'm going to go through. I got that ROG Ally. I was playing the Steam version on ROG Ally. Now what I'm thinking is start over, start on Xbox, start on the giant screen, have it be beautiful, and then just do that. Because I did it the opposite way here. I like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Well, no, it's because you're always gone or I'm always gone or there's some sick kid I got to worry about or you're on some Japan trip or whatever. There's like on top of us wanting to shake it up. You know what I mean? Yeah. Share the Greg. Share the bless with these idiots out there.

Then I have a whole thing where my plan was on the trip to PAX in Montreal next week is that I was going to start my Outer Worlds playthrough because we're going to re-review that at the end of the month to get ready for the Xbox Direct. And it's like, that's great, but what if I get hooked on Expedition 33?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
But then it's like, well, what if when I get off Oblivion I can just beat Expedition 33 in a week? I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
I am, yeah. You know what I mean? Borderlands 4 doesn't have a lot to prove. That doesn't sound right. But I'm in that perfect place right now where my hype for it is even keel. So if they come out today and they are like, this is why you need to care about this game again, I think it'll go through the roof as somebody who loves Borderlands period. But for some reason, I'm just not like...

EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Before you get to the bad news, can we look at the Towerborn screenshots I put in assets? So we got this gigantic crate of Towerborn stuff. Awesome. And then you open it up. Bam, there's all this. These are two wearable blankets. They gave out platinum codes and Xbox Game Pass codes, which, by the way, we don't need because we got codes through press.

I just hope we get Skate Freak of the Way. We'll get there. We'll get there. Let's try it. This is the usual, what the fuck is going on in this industry? The suits, the trend chasing, the yada, yada, yada. You know what I mean? I appreciate that all the headlines are about they canceled another Titanfall game. You're like, fuck! And you get an extraction shooter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
You're like, okay, that kind of makes sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Yeah. I mean... Yeah, it might be. Somebody shouts out Star Wars in terms of most canceled stuff. Oh, I guess franchise, sure. So it's a loose term to throw around. But it is an interesting one of... EA not believing in what Titanfall has been. We've had two Titanfall games, right? And even Titanfall 2, like, now we're putting a single player in there. We're doing 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 mean, who knows? So I don't know if you know, the fire stations have are now safe surrender sites where you can just drop off a kid. No questions asked.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Sure, but then they keep trying to put it into different things. Even Apex, right, started as being an idea of a Titanfall game, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
So it's like, they keep like, okay, fans don't want Titanfall, but they say they do. So what trend, what MOBA, what thing can we shove into it to make it not a Titanfall game, but have the Titanfall moniker?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Yeah, so that sucks. Obviously, hearts and, you know, not prayers, but whatever. Our thoughts. I'm looking for thoughts and hearts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Take my mind. It can't help you. To everybody who got laid off here, right? It's just, again, when you look at that number, the company had about 13,700 employees at the end of March. Holy shit.

EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
It's not what it was when it launched or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Well, I don't even know if a Titanfall Extraction Shooter would have been a big swing. That's the whole thing about it, where it's like, I really... When you look at EA and the financial headwinds we're in, what do I think this is? I think it's what you just said. It's them battening down the hatches. I don't think it's them coming up with a third pillar necessarily.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
It is, all right, Respawn, continue to make Star Wars. All right, continue to make Apex. Iterate on those, and I'm sure there's some incubation there of what the next big thing would be. But how do we get Apex back to it with a bigger season? Is there a need for an Apex 2 or whatever the heck it would be to move on? But my bigger question for them would be, Titanfall 1 was an amazing game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
Titanfall 1 was such a cool idea, if you remember. I know you were in probably first grade, but I made Alfredo Diaz at IGN do a whole series where he trained me to be a first-person shooter because I liked Titanfall so much that I wanted to be competent at it. And I was, and I played it, and I did a whole bunch of stuff with it, and I loved it, and I played the hell out of Titanfall 1.

Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
You need the community. You need as many people playing as possible to have a player base that's actually playing the game for these type of multiplayer only experiences, which leads me to it's multiplayer only. And it's like, man, I look at that and I know that I am just a specific type of gamer, but there are many of me and I want to play a single player bungee marathon game that looks like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
Cool, I'm not getting that, but it's still a paid title. That to me kind of reads a little bit weird. Games cost money. There has to be a price. I also think Marathon's caught right now in a very terrible time for product announcements because of state of the world and tariffs and everything where why do we not know the price?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
Why was there already misinformation this weekend of it's going to be a full-priced game? Oh, wait, no, it's not. No, it's not full-priced. We're going to talk more in the summer about the pricing. Why is that? Is it because they don't know yet? Are they just trying to figure it out? Or are they hedging their bets and trying to wait for all that?

Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
Either way, not good news for a game that I think is already an uphill battle to win people over. So I think that's just kind of where we're at is in the time and place that we're in, this doesn't seem like a great move.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
I mean, dude, that's really the conversation, right? It's like, I feel like we're just at a point that it almost doesn't matter if the game is good or not. Like, we look at this and like, yeah, it's Bungie. Like, their gunplay feels impeccable, right? You expect it's going to. We'll hear from Paris later about actually how it feels and like, is it a good game or not?

But remember, like, Concord, like, a lot of people here are kind of funny, like, enjoyed the game. But that is just not enough in this day and age with where we're at and how much competition's out there. paid free or otherwise.

Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
At the time, we always talk about being a big thing, but I feel like you talking about the Concorde and like, oh, it felt derivative because of Guardians of the Galaxy, which it's not just like, oh, we've seen this thing before. It's more about a vibe and a culture of like Guardians has permeated so many things for so long.

over a decade at this point that like it kind of just feels like been there done that already whereas like this I feel is kind of stuck in this awkward place where despite it looking I think awesome again I really like the direction of the art of this game the problem is
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
It's almost the opposite of the Guardian situation, where this kind of just feels like we've seen a lot of this for games that haven't necessarily even come out yet. But when they do come out, they're just kind of like, oh, yeah, the finals. I just feel like we've seen trailers that look like this of a ton of games coming out, and we're already exhausted by it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
man, yeah, God, it's so complicated. I want it to be very clear that I know that I sound just very doomy on all of this stuff, and it feels very like, oh, we've been here before, and that our conversation sounds like, guys, we get it, move on. But why aren't they moving on? Why are they continuing to do this over and over?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
I feel like when we look at Concord specifically, they committed to a lot of things. They committed to, hey, there's going to be weekly story drops and all this stuff, and we're like, wow, y'all believe in this game. We've made cut scenes for an entire year. I can't believe that that's going to happen. How is that going to happen? But, like, y'all are committing to this, and that didn't work out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
And you look here with, like, how they're committing, and it's like, I just, I don't know. It feels like a false sense of bravado if you're going to be like, yeah, this is the plan. We've seen it before. Avengers, right? The fucking Avengers trying to go for this live service thing with a, honestly, foolproof plan of we're going to have all your favorite heroes month after month just be dropping.

Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
Yeah, okay. Thank you. That actually sparked what I was saying. Remember, and we don't know who the people are specifically, but the conversation was PlayStation bought Bungie. Bungie is now kind of talking to the rest of their teams for their clear live service initiative of, hey, there's some structure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
There's some DNA here that we know stuff because of Destiny 2 that we're going to educate the PlayStation. Yeah, we've done this before. To some extent, right? And now you look at it here and it's like, cool. Well, this is the example of that. Seems a little scary and upsetting in the wake of something like Concord. Having said that, Helldrivers 2, major freaking success.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
And to give Marathon its props and not just completely write it off, they did the one thing that we all wanted Concord to do, which was just let people... After we saw the first initial preview or reveal of it, we're all like, why didn't they just let people play? and let that speak for itself.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
And that's what happened with Apex Legends, and that became a huge hit because it had this, like, unique marketing strategy that's not just like, oh, shadow reveal, shadow drop. It's when the entire conversation is, yo, this game's good. I played it. It's good. That goes so far. And so, hey, at least they let people play the game here. But...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
We're now at a point that you need to couple that with all the right answers. And a lot of the stuff they're saying here simply aren't the right answers when it comes to price slash not actually having a price, but knowing that it's going to have a price. Yeah. That is like this nebulous thing that gives people. Own it. Yeah, own it. And I know why they don't want to own it.

If we're just talking about success, it might not be bigger than Destiny 1 or 2, but I do think that it'll hit where they need it to. Is that necessarily the right move?

PlayStation, I mean, like, what are they doing with live services? Yeah. This wasn't the way to go. Again, though, I said this earlier, but this being on Xbox, too, I do think gives it a little bit extra of, like, there's some potential here. Yeah. I don't think that it's over for... Marathon yet.

period and like that to me is like thank god there are outliers thank god there is potential for this to be fought back against but you there needs to be so much love care and luck involved in that whereas you look at some of these things it's like there are just too many successful free-to-play games and when you design a game that walks like a duck talks like a duck and all that stuff and it's very expensive duck it's

I mean, the sheer fact of the matter is Tarkov, for as popular as it is, is not going to get the backing ever that a PlayStation-backed Bungie with the game multi-platform, like with the NIP marathon. It's like, that's going to get so much push that, yeah, people are going to be interested. But what's the question? Is it going to be as good as Tarkov?

That's the problem. I feel like comparing a game, and I know that Tarkov also is a different level of game, so maybe in some ways Marathon will be better, but it will not be as feature complete as Tarkov, I don't think, and I think that is going to definitely make people look at me like, why the fuck would I pay for this when I could do this?

And then I think that season three and four got into a much better spot of realizing, like, we now just have an amazing cast of characters that just putting them in situations and letting them be the way they are is fun. It reminds me a lot of Community or The Office and things like that, where you were like, just at a certain point, It's not about the plot. You're here for the characters.

And, God, they got there. Like, season four was awesome because of everything I just said. Like, amazing characters and amazing choices for them. The two leads, Ian and Poppy, were awesome. The dynamics they had, the amount of situations they put them in and took them out of and back and forth and back and forth. It's a sitcom workplace comedy, right? Sure.

We've seen a lot of this stuff before, but we haven't seen it in the video game space. And the amount of times, if you've watched the show every freaking day, you've heard us say this a lot, but the amount of times that Bless and I, who are two of the people I know that watch the show, have brought up This show clearly is written by people that watch games daily. Like, it is jokes for us.

And they're smart. It's very, very, very smart. Very fun. Like, it's a show that should not have been nearly as good as it was. I mean, I remember this getting announced, right? Oh, Ubisoft's doing a show with Apple. And it was at Ubisoft's E3 show. And we're like, what the fuck is this? Yeah. so wrong.

And again, I'm not trying to say it's the best thing ever, but I will say that it is a incredibly good comedy. Like I think that they've gotten to a point that they like, I I'm watching this and I, I put it up there. I think hacks is the best, but in terms of the contemporary kind of comedies, like it's this hacks. Like I, um, like I like this a lot more than sex lives of college girls.

And I loved that show. Another one that just got canceled. But at the same time, I can't believe the show made it to four seasons in the spinoff. Yeah. What's the spinoff? It's called SideQuest. It just came out. It's like technically the last, I guess, besides a little bit that they're adding here. It's the latest thing that they did. It was four episodes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
Show ran by Ashley Burch, who is a lead in the show, in the main show. And she also wrote and directed a couple of the episodes in SideQuest. And side quest was mythic quest. One of the best things about it was every season they would do at least one episode that was just completely not part of the main story. And they would just follow one characters like backstory.

And it would always add some very interesting and usually the best episode of the season.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
side quest was kind of like let's just do that for a whole show gotcha and like one of them was about and it's always like relating to mythic quest that is this video game and the amount of video game culture that they were able to fit in the show and treat authentically is something that really needs to be commended and i'm saying all this because y'all should watch this show even if it's over the time that's there it's worth your time and it's really cool they get to do an ending it is and i'm very interested in what's that going to be i don't think it could possibly be great like just with where all laid off

Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
I mean, real talk, I think that's going to be what it is. Like, that's the type of show that this is. But it's crazy that the side quests, like, one of the episodes was about the comic book based on the game. Okay. And it takes place in a comic book store. Nice. The day that that comic shows up and the people that are coming to get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Awesome concept.

And just following her journey. It's very, very, very... smart video game culture stuff. So yeah, I'm very sad that this happened, that it was canceled this way. And like, I get it though. I totally get it.

But shout out to them for four and four seasons in a spinoff that I thought were excellent. I would recommend everybody watch it. Apple TV continues to be the unsung hero of the streaming game. They need to fucking promote their stuff better. And this is what happens. They don't do that. They just let their shows happen. And people that are watching them are like, these are so freaking good.

I don't know that that's necessarily the biggest factor, but if you're going to bring back Marathon, why do it then, right? It might as well just be a new IP if it's a new IP. Sure. So that to me just is a little bit weird because Marathon's a lot grimier, and maybe they play into that. Again, I understand the argument that it doesn't matter, but then why use the brand?

We are on a video game show, so just to bring it back to the video game conversation, I think we cannot make it any more clear. The video games matter less than so many more things going on here. Right? Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
But to talk about the video games, it's like Nintendo's going through it right now just because they are the ones launching a new console. They are the ones that have so much going into this. But guess what?
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 horrible luck yeah follow-up to the most successful nintendo console they've ever had like with the most successful that's one of the most successful iterations of a game franchise they've ever had with mario kart getting a follow-up like there's so much potential here for record-breaking things for nintendo but then also just for a whole audience of gamers to be able to jump into a 4k generation of of gaming and all that that's so exciting and it's just mired with all of this nonsense
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
But guess what? Nintendo's just the focus of this right now because it's all happening at the same time. This is going to affect everyone. PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Steam Deck, all of it. It's all going to be affected on the hardware and software side. And it's not like, oh, man, we're going to have to wait and see. It's like, oh, it's happening now, and it's only going to continue happening.
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 that's very scary because at a certain point, Things are going to break and people will stop buying these games. People will not be able to buy the games. And just real quick, last thing I want to say here is we're talking about a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo console launch. What's probably going to happen here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
No matter what goes on here, this thing's going to come out with tariff boost prices of like hundreds more than we expected. It's still going to sell out because it's a brand new Nintendo console. But what happens next? What happens when the limited supply that they're able to produce? And apparently they're been able to produce more than previous, uh, console generation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
So what does that look like? I still do think it sells out, but after that, I don't think they can maintain that.

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Yeah, and I mean, to your point, the people that are pointing fingers at Nintendo right now, they don't get it. And also, it doesn't matter. I'm not trying to point fingers. Let me take back what I just said. It's not going to matter in a couple weeks when it's everybody. And when the prices of... PlayStations even currently are going to go up and Xboxes are going to go up and all that.

There's probably supplies of stuff that are already made and things are already in stores in America and stuff and it's not going to affect it. It's going to hit a crossover point where the line will be crossed if we continue going this way, which I don't think there's going back from, where The pointing blame at Nintendo, none of that's going to matter because... It's everybody.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
It's going to be everything. This is going to be industry-wide. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like none of that is going to matter. To what you're talking about, about the Nintendo generational thing, obviously, yeah, it does really suck. I really do think, though, that that is... again, to the point I just made, least of the concerns, just because it's going to affect everything.

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
At the very least, on the software side, there are, I mean, I guess Mario Kart is absolutely huge, and Donkey Kong, but the majority of games we're talking about this year are cross-gen, right? At least games that are imminent are cross-gen, that we're hyped for from Nintendo, so they can still put those out. But even those, are those going to get...

And also we're seeing consoles get price increases as opposed to price cuts.
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 mean, that is the other thing, too, is like these tariffs are not only going to affect the things the tariffs affect. They're then going to affect everything else as like a we need to then make more money. Like Game Pass is going to increase its price like they have to or else the games won't be made.
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 that was already a thing of like these games budgets are ballooning and they need to be able to make the money back. And so all of this is going to be a negative effect on gaming as a whole. And I don't think there's any way around it. Go for it, Greg.

I honestly feel like it's almost a moot point because I don't think it's about video games. It's like, I think that what you're asking, we can just apply to life. And I think that the answer is, we're either going to be okay, and video games will be okay, or... we're just, we're fucked and there's no coming back from this. And if that's the case, yeah, video games are fucked.

Episode six is what really kicks it up into, oh, and before then I'm not saying like, oh, it doesn't get good till then. I'd probably give it like a eight up until then, but it contextualizes the entire season in a way that kind of blew me away. It's an amazing episode of TV.

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
How many episodes is it overall? Eight total. Ends in a way that I'm like, I want season two now. As a Devil May Cry fan, I think it does an amazing job of taking all of what we're familiar with, but giving it a new style, obviously very inspired by the early 2000s. The soundtrack on this thing is fantastic. Yeah. And I use that word in all caps because it has Crazy Town's Butterfly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
It has... I'm blanking on the names right now. Limp Bizkit's Rolling is the theme song. And that energy is kept up throughout the entire series. But in addition to that, you know how important this is to me. It features a lot of Devil May Cry music. Actual music from the video games. You gotta love that, right? It's not canon to the games, which I think was a very, very wise call.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
This is them trying to tell a new story, taking all the characters and worlds that we know, but kind of, I think, making it make more sense and being a little bit more accessible to a new audience, while not alienating the audience that Devil May Cry rightfully already has, because it is a very fun world and story that they have building 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
But I think that this was clearly made by people that can't

care about the world and the characters and the game so many scenes of this so many action scenes feel like playing the game and that is such a compliment on top of devil may cry love there's just so much capcom love i don't even want to get into a lot of the like little hidden things they have here some of the costumes designs of some of the main characters even just look at them

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Just look deep at them and try to be like, where did I see that before? Because you definitely have seen it somewhere, and it might not be where you expect. Stuff left and right in this to just kind of find joy in. The story's simple but fun, and I think there's a surprising amount of depth to it in terms of the protagonists. It is not just Dante's story.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
It is Dante and Lady getting kind of equal screen time, and I think they do a really good job throughout the season of – making both of their characters matter and having a really nice conversation back and forth between the similarities between them and then the differences between them while telling their own stories, but also a shared story as well. Yeah, I think this is just a major success.

Alex Larson is a very, very, very smart writer, and I've loved every project I've seen that he's been a part of, and this is no exception because it's the perfect example of one of my favorite things, which is highbrow, lowbrow.

I'm not typically a binger like that, but when I watched four episodes on the plane and then I got home and I'm like, I'm finishing this thing. That's how into it I was. I don't think that it's perfect. The animation isn't always perfect. what I want to see from it. Like sometimes there's that, that like 3d CG looking stuff and like it stands out and it doesn't look too good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Um, but like that really doesn't get in the way. I'd say overall they, uh, worked within their means, uh, with the animation. And I think that it, this is not an example of style over substance. I think the style and substance perfectly match. And that's awesome for a devil may cry anime.

In October, Bungie released a lengthy development update video that shed light on Marathon's mechanics, but stressed how early in development the game was.

Now, though, half a year later, it looks like Bungie's finally ready to reveal what they've been working on.

Like, when we saw the gameplay and all that stuff. I feel like the overwhelming sentiment was like, oh, my God. What the fuck are you doing? Oh, there's going to be these videos every week. And here's the game. And, like, the way they deep dived into it. the impression was like, oh, this isn't going to work. And then people got hands on it, and it was like, this game's surprisingly not bad.

And so I think next week is going to be that moment for marathon potentially, if Greg is right, where we're going to get that first look.

behind the scenes on this, like, they should have done something more similar to what Apex Legends did. Of let people play the game and let that lead the conversation. It doesn't need to be a shadow drop or any of that stuff. But, like, that... Kongo needs to be a thing of... Word of mouth's not the right word, but, like...

Story number five. Astro Bot movie could be on its way as Sony's absolutely considering an adaptation.

When asked about how PlayStation Productions decides which games should get adaptation treatment, he explained that Astro Bot picked up numerous awards last year, including Game Award for Game of the Year and the Dice Award for Game of the Year at the Dice Awards. So it was built up to an audience of enthusiasts. For us, it's okay. We've got to establish... It's okay.

We've established one of our... Sorry, let me say this again. For us, it's, okay, we've established one of our franchises as a great game. It's starting to get a built-in audience. It's winning awards. Those are very early indicators for us to want to try and grow that franchise and grow that IP. God, that makes me excited. Yeah, dude. You know what I mean? Just don't run.

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
The movie, TV, suicide, sure, cool, cool, whatever. Growing the franchise, let's go more Astro Bot. I think what people have seen in Hollywood is that video game adaptations, if done right, can actually be very popular and they scale very well. It's been a big sea change that I've seen in the last five or six years since we really started to come and deliver some great content.

Because of that, there's a confidence level the film industry is seeing. For one, they're seeing that some of the great creative ideas of stories are coming from video games. And the first one I think of is Astro Bot. What, you didn't love the narrative?

I've never said that either, by the way. Yes, you have. I think you say he's ugly. No, it's just uninspired. It's generic as hell. That's it. Find the clip. If I ever... That is me being like, oh, I know. But I just want to clear, like, my thoughts on Astro Bot is that it's uninspired and generic, and that is so sad for the most inspired 3D platformer I've played that wasn't made by Nintendo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
So here's my thing. You're absolutely right. But what's interesting here is it could go the PlayStation route of having all the other guys and that'd be really cool and exciting. But And I'd say this, that would be even like the cherry on top to what I'm about to say. I don't know that they'd go this direction, but yeah, I think, Oh, Astro bots are in real life and it's a fucking Garfield movie.
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 going to fucking suck. But I do think they have an opportunity if they're not trying to have this be a billion dollar franchise. If they just put out this movie, like with an understanding of like trying to hit a specific level of audience, it could be cool to make a movie about these little guys inside a PlayStation five.

you know, and like, kind of like go through the GPU and go through all the different areas and like make it like an adventure within a PlayStation.

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 they can do that in movie form of like, have it kind of teach audiences about, How this thing works and stuff. And I think it could be interesting that way. And I think it could be very visually entertaining. And I think obviously we know the music is awesome. Like that could be a very fun experience. That can easily. Just take the plot of Astro Bot.

You know what I mean? I think so. I mean, I think, yes. I mean, I know the answer is yes because it happened to us playing Astro Bot. Yeah. You know? I think PlayStation's been around long enough.

I could see it as a Wreck-It Ralph type situation, and maybe we are going through different PlayStations and things like that, but I do think even just the console boot-up sounds, and think a bit more of Astro's Playroom as opposed to Astro Bot, where Astro's Playroom, all the little guys were in there, but rescuing them wasn't the focus.

God, I hate this so much. Golden Spider says, it's not as if I wasn't aware of the tariffs until today. Everyone has known they'd be coming, and despite that, they announced the price. They could have said, we will not be announcing the price at this moment, but they did not. It is very interesting that they did that. My theory on it is that $450 is the price that they wanted it to be.

So getting it out there now, it's like then if things get horrible and it has to be $800, Nintendo will be able to be like, we wanted it to be this, but now it has to be this. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because 450 is an entirely reasonable price for the system.

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
