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.

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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
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.

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

EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
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...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
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.

I think you're right as far as modern... Player obscure. But that's, like, barely. That's the thing. It's like, water environments, when done right, can actually be the coolest environment in the game. Because water... can just make things cooler. You know what I mean? Clean Up Scare is the example of, like, water just made that shit cooler when you get there. It's vibes.

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
So when was the original release date for this? What is two weeks? What is the marathon release date? I could do the math, or I could just look up the marathon release date. We also have Ghost of Tsushima. No, not the first marathon. Fucking 1994. God damn it. September 23rd. Okay.
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
Um... So you're thinking, yeah, like a GTA 6 release date coming out, or GTA 6 coming out in October would be enough to be like, alright, let's give this even more space.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I could see it. It's so hard for me to stomach the idea of GTA 6 coming out this year, but you're making sense. You're making sense. I'm definitely making dollars. Cause also then it's like, Oh my God. Cause then I guess for me talking about it, it would have to be like, okay, what would the other reasons be? Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
It could be like, maybe they really, I brought in marathon as a joke, but maybe it really could have been like, we don't want to release next to this thing.

It's a similar, we think there might be a similar audience, audience, their looter shooter kind of thing. I know it's an extraction shooter, which is different, but you're still looting and shooting with friends. Right.

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

You know what, Roger? You sold me. Here's the thing. You not sold me on the fact that it is coming out in October, but you sold me on the fact that they might be planning on trying to get this thing out in October. We'll see if they actually get it out, but you are making a lot of sense.

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Of course, I've always loved Forza Horizon, or at least ever since Forza Horizon 3, I've been big into Forza Horizon. Fucking love those games. My favorite racing game franchise right next to Burnout, right? They're like kind of neck and neck at this point. It has been so long. I don't have like deep impressions because it is just the same game ported to PlayStation 5, but now I'm playing on PS5.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I mean, that's where I'm at. I'm on full negative Nancy on it, but I will say in the bringing back to the borderlands conversation, because you mentioned that, like, it seems like the vibes are kind of down on this one as far as what it feels like people are like, feels what people's anticipation on the internet of it all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
from the media side and the press side and, like, the hardcore, like, you know, our audience, right? The people that, like, listen and take in video game content all the time. I think they're down on it. It's hard for me to think that's going to translate to the general audience. I think in the way that, like, people during Borderlands 3 kept being, like, oh, the humor's stale.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Oh, we're bored of this. Right? Like, that game still sold a butt ton, right? Like, I don't think they're worried about the me's and you's of the world. I think they're worried about...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
the people who always show up to borderlands borderlands is mainstream as fuck like borderlands supersedes just like the video game core community in a way that like i think even though people are downplaying borderlands 4 i also think people are underrating borderlands 4 as far as like how big of a splash that's going to be when it comes out now is it going to be as big as borderlands 2 and 3 i don't know i think i i i think on this in the same breath i'll say that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I could see there being some fatigue there. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands? Wonderworlds? Wonderlands? I think it is Wonderlands because Wonderworld was the Balan game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
The hats. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands came out and I thought that would have had a bigger splash given that that was basically a Borderlands game and I feel like that came and went.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
A weird company in the fact that, like... like they produce hits, right? They produce, it's like either mafia, no offense to mafia, but they're going to put out a mafia and then a GTA, right? Civilization. Civilization, an NBA 2K, like they put out juggernauts of games, of Borderlands. And I think Borderlands is in that conversation of, all right, I got three games I'm going to buy this year.

Gondor's Condor says, what do you think impacted Borderlands' image harder, the third game or the movie? And I think, here's the thing, right? I don't think the third game impacted Borderlands' image, but I think it's more so a conversation of I bring it back to Tiny Tina and the Borderlands movie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I look at those as more canaries in the coal mine of, are those signs of Borderlands not having it? Or were those just not up to par as far as what we expect out of mainline Borderlands content?

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

Like, so many games are that, and I love games that are that, and Borderlands has been such a great one of those, and, like, I think there's something to be said about, you know, how good the action is in Borderlands, how many guns they're able to fit in that bitch, right? Like, I don't know why I said it like that, I'm sorry.

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
In a post today from the studio, Respawn announced it has, quote, made the decision to step away from two early stage incubation projects and make some targeted team adjustments across Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi. One of these canceled incubation projects is the same one already reported back in March. Raj, did you happen to have the article open? No, I do not. Okay.

We're offering meaningful support to those impacted, including exploring new opportunities within EA, end quote. IGN understands that Respawn currently employs roughly 100 individuals, and those affected by the changes include a mix of developers, publishing, and QA workers on Apex Legends, as well as smaller groups of individuals on the Jedi team and on the incubation projects.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
IGN also understands that at least some, though not all, of the developers from the incubation project reported on in March have already been moved to work on Iron Man at EA Motive.

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
When asked, EA declined to comment on the exact number of individuals impacted, saying it is offering impacted individuals 30 days to find a new opportunity inside the organization and is endeavoring to find roles for as many individuals as it can internally.

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Internally at Respawn, work will continue on Apex Legends and the next entry in the Star Wars Jedi franchise, as well as supporting the upcoming Bit Reactor Star Wars game, Star Wars Zero Company. EA declined to say whether or not any other incubation projects are currently in the works.

Notably, just last February, EA told investors that Apex Legends was, quote, not headed in the direction that we have wanted, end quote, and hadn't been for some time. CEO Andrew Wilson said that Respawn is currently working on a major update dubbed Apex 2.0, quote,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Quote, our expectation is that Apex will also be one of those franchises in that sometime on a longer term time horizon, there will be an even bigger, more meaningful update to that broader game experience, an Apex 2.0, if you will. This will not be the final incarnation of Apex, Wilson said.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
these changes continue a trend at EA of canceled projects layoffs and restructuring that's been going on for several years now and they go on about how it began in 2023 Roger hi a lot to chew on there what's your immediate reaction to this news my immediate
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, to what you guys are saying, you know, I think the thing that jumps out at me is IGN understands that Respawn currently employs roughly 100 individuals, right? And, like, when you have a studio of 100 and Apex plus the Jedi games coming out isn't enough to support and sustain that, it's like... wow, what is going on here, right? Like, is that a sign of what the industry is right now?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Oh, it feels fantastic. What's the haptics? Oh, they're using all the haptics. They are? Yeah. Oh, they're using all the haptics in that thing. It's kind of crazy how much Xbox is supporting the PlayStation 5 DualSense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Is that a sign of over-expectations from EA as far as what Respawn is supposed to produce for them? Is it, like, mismanagement of, yeah, what Apex is bringing in, right? Like, we talk about those high player numbers and it being, I think, usually in the conversation of the top three, top five battle royales at any given time in the last six years, 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 have so much going for them at Respawn, and they have so much, I think, latent potential. And part of me wonders if they see that in themselves and are going, yo, if we can just put out a Titanfall 3, or if we can just put out a multiplayer Star Wars shooter, or if we can just put out XYZ thing, it'll turn us into EA's golden child, for real.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Even though so many people already see them as that. And even though I think, like, they kind of have been that already between the projects they're doing. But, like, I think they're in a weird place because of both the stagnation of Apex, right? Those numbers aren't growing, growing, growing, growing anymore. And then also you talk about the success of the Jedi games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
But when you're looking at that, that is still a licensed thing that I'm sure Disney is probably getting a huge chunk of that money. And so maybe you're just not seeing the return that you expect to see from it. I think they're just probably in a weird place as a company right now trying to figure out like, all right, what is going to be our golden goose? That we completely own.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
That we completely own and that is on the growth trajectory as opposed to like something that feels like it's evened out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
This is just straight up copy and pasting this from Xbox. It's like, no, that game is fucking...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Well, I don't think Respawn employs 1,000 people. I'd be shocked if they employ 1,000 people. And if they laid off 1,000 people at once, if you're talking about that, then you're talking about across EA or something.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
And also, like... If they're laying off 100 people from Respawn, this is a different news story. This is the studio shutting down. And so maybe let's just wait and see on that one. I could also say maybe he's being hyperbolic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Gotcha. That's still like a third, though. That's crazy. Yeah, no, that's still a fucking insane number of people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Yeah. Either way, of course, this is breaking news, and so information is coming in all at once. And so we'll wait and see on the final information, the final facts coming in. But either way, really sad news. Respawn's one of those studios that I would say deserves better. And one of those studios that is one of the most talented in the industry. And I hate to see shit like this happen with them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Because the money's not adding up in a way where it's like, man, you're not doing the studio justice. Apex plus the Jedi games should be doing it.

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
if battlefield doesn't work right there's even more pressure on response now fucking hit right to actually redo uh apex and make something new yeah i mean the we can have this conversation probably in like another episode or like maybe it's a whole games cast but like it's one of those things where sure battlefield doesn't work then the eyes get put back onto apex and respawn but i also think that's vice versa right like if apex isn't

Platinum Games is seemingly hiring for another online action game. This is Chris Scolian at VGC. Platinum Games is seemingly working on another online action game according to a new job listing.

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
While the majority of the job listing from the Bayonetta studio features the typical requirements expected of any game designer role, there are two points in the desired skills section that appears to suggest that the game will have online elements.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
According to the listing, the ideal candidate for the role will have, quote, experience in online action game development and experience in stage composition for online or open field games, end quote. Both points seem to point to an action game with an online open world element, which is particularly notable given that Platinum's last attempt at such an experience was a flop.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
doesn't always mean we are making an online action game or making a game with online in it or whatever field open field sometimes it means that you had somebody on the team that had that experience that left and we want to replace that role and it's ideal to have somebody on the team that like interesting can fill in those those good to know yeah and like that was a conversation i had with somebody who worked at a studio who had a similar thing with like

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
No one fucking beats that game. Cuphead. Honestly, I agree. Cuphead is probably one of the best games I've ever played in my life. I'm probably still four bosses away from finishing that game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
The developers never finished the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Okay, I'm glad you're with me because I didn't know if this was going to be one of those episodes where it's like, blessing, you lived under a rock.
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 a whole weird thing where the game very clearly needs a chapter three like there's two chapters in the game and you finish the game and it's like there's so many like unfinished story here and it was because Konami rushed Kojima and like there was like a chat correct me if I'm wrong there's like an extended version or there's like some special edition that comes with cut scenes that were cut from the game where you can see some of the stuff that was cut and so I never finished this one because I believe halfway through the game you have to fight a bunch of zombies and I was like fuck this
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Also, I did finish The Phantom Pain, and I feel like a lot of people did, but... You know what? I guess Chapter 2 might have thrown people off, so maybe not. This is nice. Battletoads, 1991. Sure, that's hard.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Same. You know what? That'd be a good poll of how many of y'all played Super Meat Boy and didn't finish it. I think you could see the stats on Steam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Like the achievements or whatever. Because I feel like the vast majority of people probably didn't finish Super Meat Boy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Well, first of all, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair exist. That's crazy. There's room for four other games, bless. Yeah, but then you're talking about ten other Marios.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
There's ten Marios that are better than Super Meat Boy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Yeah, if it was like Greg on the show, Greg would have told me all about the Moomins and how they're a big worldwide phenomenon. And I'm sitting here and the chat's roasting me for not knowing the Moomins. And then Roger breaks it out. We don't know what the fuck Moomins are. We'll figure it out later. We're going to talk about it later.

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Celeste is probably number one. Super Meat Boy number two. Alright, what's number two on this list? Minecraft, sure. The number one. Darkest Dungeon? Alright. I don't know. Well, we didn't even play it.

Catch the show live on PlayStation's Twitch and YouTube channels on April 30th at 2 p.m. Pacific Time. Back at February's State of Play, we unveiled the game's launch date trailer, which showcased the taste of the explosive action, fearsome enemies, and powerful loot.

Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Since then, we've announced that Borderlands 4's launch has moved up to September 12, 2025, meaning you'll get to enjoy the looter-shooter action even earlier. In this upcoming State of Play, strap in with me and Anthony, Nicholas, I should also preface this with, this is written by a member of the Borderlands team, I'm not on the State of Play list.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Because Miyazaki is going to come for you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
And you know what? I'm telling this to Miyazaki. You don't need a swamp in every single one of your games. What about South of Midnight? You're allowed a swamp because that's the deep south.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I might be okay with it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
I just don't like the negative properties that get applied with swamp. Okay, okay, okay. We can figure that out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
But my pitch... And we can start a consulting agency. I like this. What are the other environments that we can add to every 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
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
This is a good opportunity for me to bring up. I'll try to figure out where to fit it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Borderlands 4 Changes Date, State of Play Tomorrow! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.29.25
Kind of don't like frost. Top three. And we're going to talk about Borderlands in a second. Top three worst environments. Swamp. Desert. Underwater. I'm fine with Underwater.

Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
Can we talk about that sometimes they call her Clover and sometimes they call her Culver? Really? It's very back and forth. It was very distracting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
Not great. Joy, what did you think about this movie? This movie is an Until Dawn movie in theory, rather than in practice.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
I think that if I would have gone into this... not knowing the game or not expecting anything tied to the game, I would have had a better time. It's definitely more in the vein of a happy death day. It's funnier than you think it's going to be. Is it? Or did we just laugh at things that weren't actually supposed to be funny? I laughed more in this movie, I guess is what I'm getting at.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
It was a mistake for us to sit next to each other. We are the only ones laughing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
But it was very funny. Very funny, yeah. Yeah, they definitely took... Things that are in the Until Dawn game, a group of friends, sisters, a mysterious location, but they didn't actually take any of the parts of that that we love from Until Dawn.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
It was like 1.45. It flew by for me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
Yeah, it gives me, it's like a little bit of a happy death day. Like we're going to die over again and figure out the premise. Which sounds so great. Yeah, it has a little bit of cabin in the woods, like a little bit meta and like things are changing and all that kind of stuff. But like it doesn't nail anything.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
I think the most confusing part, and like maybe this is on me for not watching the trailers. Chat can tell me if the trailers are any different. But like, I think it's a weird call to like have a group of friends like you have in the game, but have it not be any of those people. You have sisters, but it's a different dynamic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
And the scenario is like, you have enough connections that you are leading people down one path, but then you kind of left turn immediately. And you're like, oh, this isn't at all what I thought it was going to be. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
I think that there are just movies that have done that better. More recently, like bodies, bodies, bodies, I think is a better, because the writing of this movie is rough. Yeah. So I, yeah, obviously as a two out of five, I didn't love it, but yeah, I hope we get a real Until Dawn movie with the characters and the scenarios and the storylines that we actually like.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25

Now, do you think, Greg, just because I know you both love Persona 4 Golden, do you think in this remake, will they cut out the Golden content for the remake and then add it later? They can't fucking do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Especially because, let me tell you, No, I guess the golden stuff didn't factor into the big twist.

Exactly.
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
put up videos with information that people are picking apart or images or whatever for every other little thing. It's creating this cyclone of chaos when it comes to the information about the Switch. And again, I think this goes back to even earlier this week, the GameCube controller conversation of they're on the website.
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 says like not only compatible with Nintendo switch online switch to GameCube games, which implies it's not compatible with switch or switch to games like smash ultimate or things like that. It doesn't function just as a pro controller. And obviously that doesn't sound good. And that's straight from Nintendo.
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 then everyone else is like, Oh, well they said the exact same thing about some other controllers and those work with other things. So it's like, it is this weird thing of even if Nintendo, uh, does come out and does explicitly say a thing, that thing gets picked apart. And I don't know that there's winning. I think that's the problem.
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.
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 like when all the information, every single thing is cared about by this community so much, every aspect about the Nintendo Switch 2 people care about. You know what I mean? Yeah. And that is where I think it kind of turns into the chip damage thing of like, sure, you might not care about the GameCube controller, but I do.
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 you might care more about having to download the games, the update packs or expansion packs or whatever. Or XYZ. And then I do feel like there's just this like kind of communal coming together on top of all the console war nonsense of people that are... God, like this last week has been one of those fun ones for me, I'll say, because I haven't seen too much actual like...
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
negative vitriol that's like nasty it's more stupidity and it's more so fun to like laugh at these people that like like people that are like really really really rocking for the Steam Deck over the Nintendo Switch 2 like anytime someone's like being positive about the Switch they're like just buy a fucking Steam Deck you fucking pussies maybe they're not that extreme but I'm just like
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 mean, I'm sure some of that is the case, but I think this is actually a problem with people's minds. I think that it is the tribalism in the weird way where, again, it goes back to community. People just want to be part of something, and some people want to be part of something that's better than the other people's 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
That's been true since the beginning of this generation, and it's only compounded and gotten more and more true. And I would say it's very, especially nowadays, like, you've got to add a PC to that conversation, right? Oh, yeah. Especially with the Steam Deck and stuff, which you still got to really put into reference of, like, the Steam Deck has not sold a bazillion units.
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, people act like it's the biggest success in the world. It's simply not. It just is a very big deal in our world. But guess what? We're in our world. So we're able to compare things and talk about them.

End quote. I mean, dude, real talk, I'll believe it when I see it and it's in my Switch and three years from now, it still is. You know what I mean? All of this stuff, I think, is just... legit word salad. 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
Like I think that every, we're going to see this for the rest of time, bless because anytime we're in a crossing over of generations where there is as much synergy between the two, we saw it with PS4 to PS5. We're seeing it now switch one to switch two. There's going to be things that are weird and all of us are going to be like, Oh,

They're just like, hey, this is going to work, and guess what? It just worked. And then it didn't work for PlayStation as well. And then it was like, all right, you know what? It's over now, and it doesn't matter. Yeah, that's the thing.

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
Then I can see it, but yeah. But yeah, this is one of those things where I think that there's obviously going to be a lot of like, how are they going to handle this? What's going to happen? And then once the Switch 1 games that are going to get enhanced ports, like, I mean, that's another, we should do a Gamescast all about 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

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Well, for Bowser Jr. I specifically only use Wendy.
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 like this idea. Can you imagine if Nintendo puts out these GameCube controllers that don't work with Smash Ultimate? That's not going to happen.
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
Because the morale was broken. He breaks my morale. That's how it's supposed to be. It's so good. It's so good. Getting back to the story, though, I feel like there's going to be a wave or two more of these Switch 2 enhanced games. Smash Brothers, Metroid Dread. I'm trying to think of even games.
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
Well, I mean, again, I think that we should do a full Deep Dive Gamescast. Because, like, there's... I want to do actual research into this. But, from my understanding, there's the, what, five or so that they announced at the Direct. The Breath of the Wild, Choose the Kingdom, Mario Party, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and...
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 like 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
Oh, yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah, Metroid Prime 4. That's a good example. So there's those. Then there was that big ass list of just like, and a lot of games are just going to get boosted FPS and resolution and all that stuff. That was a very, very long list. Yeah. But it wasn't exhaustive of the Switch library. I think that we can look at what games are not on either of those lists.
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 like Smash Brothers, and I'm pretty sure Metroid Dread and a handful of others. And it's like, oh, okay, those are Animal Crossing games. was there too, or was not there, those are the games that are probably going to get expansion passes, like bigger upgrades, 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
Yeah, I don't know. I don't necessarily think so either. I'm just saying it's weird that there's only a handful of games that aren't on either list, and Animal Crossing is one. So it's like, why isn't that just... The fact that Animal Crossing isn't either A, one of their flagship, hey, this is why you should upgrade to Switch 2, there's more New Horizons content,
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
at launch, or B, A, we're not going to do that, so it runs better on Switch 2. The fact that it's in the middle, I'm like, I think that that'll be a big Wave 2 announcement that will come with some substantial thing, even if it is just like mouse support to like, I don't know how Animal Crossing works.
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 they're going to want people to want to play New Horizons on the Switch 2 without bitching about it. So I feel like, I think so. I feel like at the very least, then just, just put out, just put on the list of the hundred other games that literally just, it plays better. And that's all that they need to say. Don't even get specific.
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
Because my car used to have a real big problem with air pressure in the tires where I would have to, like, refill the air constantly. Like, no matter what was happening. I'd buy new tires. It still fucking happens. And I would hate having to go to the gas station, touch some nasty-ass, oily-ass things, go talk to the guys. I would just put the quarter in. You know what I mean?
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
Last of Us? Yeah. I feel like because of the HBO show, yeah. Do you think after the God of War TV show is going to... If the God of War TV show is good, I think God of War ends up winning.
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 about God of War versus Last of Us in terms of what we're talking here about massive IP. I think that there is more broad and different verticals of...
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
potential for god of war than there is for last of us yeah we're like last of us i think they're the we're closer to burnout if we're not already there like a lot of people feel that way i definitely don't um but like you look at like a walking dead and i think that it's very easy to look at last of us and be like oh man if we get to the last of us four game i don't know right um and i feel like some people would even say that about a three and um
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
even with the show there's already this fear of oh it's going to go on too long xyz god of war i feel like has the potential to kind of reinvent itself go to different realms god of war has the juice to like maybe just go on forever and they've already reinvented themselves and i feel having two different eras that are both beloved i think gives that a little bit of extra juice they're both rated m franchises as well so it's
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 do think it's comparing apples to apples in a way. I just think that having a character of Kratos, there's things about that that I think lend itself to big IP in a way that Last of Us doesn't have.
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

We weren't here, so I don't know what the conversation was, but I feel like for everything that's happened in the last week, we haven't talked enough about the fact that Project 007 from IO was re-shown. Sure, it was the same trailer we saw before, I think, at the Switch 2 event, but it was shown. Like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

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

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 for the general consumers i don't think gameplay it matters i think it's just what they showed is like oh shit there's a james bond that's all they really need to do you know get the marketing beat later like you're saying like having the higher specs and all that stuff and like make that shit sing my my my impression was that that was kind of like them poking their head out for the year reminding the world like hey we exist and we're coming out on the nintendo and then we'll see them next year i hope raul coley's james bond

But tying it into Gene Park's tweet here, which is something we talk about a lot, but I love to see it continue to happen here.
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 funny because we've obviously talked about this a lot in the last week since the Nintendo Switch was officially revealed, Switch 2. And I feel like we've brought up this talking point about Welcome Tour a couple times. We've talked about how in Reggie's book, he said how hard he pushed for Wii Sports and how good of a decision it was.

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
And, you know, it sucks that it seems like they're not continuing that kind of understanding of a great way to sell, not just sell consoles, but also... for the type of software that it is, a very clear introduction to the system and its capabilities.

Obviously, there is that hindsight, and there is the, hey, it's not actually your responsibility anymore. So it's easier to just kind of be like, well, back in my day, we did it this way, and it worked this way. Why wouldn't you do that again? But I do think that to what exactly we're talking about here, specifically the welcome tour for the Switch 2 being $10, it's one of those weird ones

where Bill Trennan, who is at Nintendo, is defending it, saying that it's not an exorbitant price and that it's a robust piece of software that is worth the $10. That can be true simultaneously with the fact that despite it being worth it, this should be a pack-in. And I feel like we all get that. This is the type of game that is seemingly designed to be a pack-in.

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
So it does kind of just, I think, read... Very grubby. Tone deaf. You know, and tone deaf. In a way, it just was a very unforced error that occurred here. And I feel like with the way that the information rollout for Nintendo's happened over the last week, it's just another negative talking point, I think. Like, another thing for us to kind of look at and go, why? 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
Are we too angry at this? I mean, that goes back to what I was saying of just like two things can be true of it's worth $10, but also it should be free. It's just like, there's that. And I do think that you can apply that logic to a lot of what's happened in the last week. I do think to your question of, is it overblown? Again, I think two answers can apply. Yes and no.
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 think it's the... Everything adding up, it's that chip damage where... Let me start here. I think Nintendo did a very bad job communicating a lot of things about the Switch 2. The fact that the price wasn't even in the direct clearly, I think, is evidence to the way that they were trying to... own the messaging maybe a little too much. Like maybe just a bit too 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
They didn't want to get in the weeds, but then they did get in the weeds about a lot of other things. And I feel like with the direct we got and then the information we got directly after and obviously the tariffs and so many other things are at play. There's a lot of questions people had that Nintendo didn't answer, even though they could have.

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
And it now starts to look like, well, it's because they know that the audience isn't going to like the answers. Do the Joy-Cons have Hall Effect sticks? No, they don't. We didn't know that until almost a week later, right? I think those little things add up. Are the full games on the cartridges? Are games $90? There was so much misinformation because there wasn't clear information.
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 think that that was Nintendo's biggest mistake. And then not being able to have like some type of FAQ page that has up-to-date accurate information to remedy the negative YouTube headlines. There's the other side of it of people are going to be upset about every little thing and blow it out of proportion in a way of how big of a deal it actually is in terms of how many people it affects.

Reggie Fils-Aimé Reacts to Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.10.25
When you look at the... The controversy around Switch 2 editions of games of, are they just the Switch game? Is it a download to get the new expansion pack? All that stuff. So much of that is speaking to a, I'm sorry, niche audience when we're talking about these physical game collectors. I also understand those physical game collectors, myself included, are...

going to be angry and going to be very vocal about it. Rightfully so, because we see the writing on the wall that the death of what we love is looming. So Nintendo kind of hiding or just kind of being a little bit weird about the facts of all that stuff. While I completely understand it from a business perspective, they're like, the majority of people don't care about this.

by far the majority of switch purchasers are never even going to consider or think about or if they do they're going to be like look the game doesn't even come with this i need to download it that sucks yeah and then they're just going to download it i think they move on with their life there's also the marketing thing that i think is still grubby right but but i think is the reality and playstation i think does this too where you leave out the the news that you know is bad because the vod is going to stick on your channel forever right

It's just to the level they're being talked about and scrutinized, I think, now is the era of content and social media that we're in where everyone has a voice, and I think that that allows people to really get upset about things that only affect... a small group of people, but now a large group of people can use their voice to fight for those people.

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.

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?

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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
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

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
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?

There's also the side of, does Nintendo pull the plug and be like, we're not releasing it this year? I don't see that happening because they need to make money.

I wouldn't bet anything that it won't, but like, I think that they have a plan. They, again, these things need to be sold or else the company is in trouble.

Yeah, so the new version of the finale is coming out sometime this week. I'm incredibly bummed about this news. I loved this show. It was not always perfect. I think season two overall was... Not good enough. I don't want to say it was bad, but I think that season two kind of put them in a place that they lost a lot of people that were kind of watching week to week. Who were rocking for it.

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.

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.

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
Yeah, I knew I was getting cute with the spelling EMP. All right.

Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
I do appreciate the coloring of the goodbye bracelet matching the Stars of the Bank briefcase.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
We'll put that in front of you. I'm going to firmly put that in the not hate category, which is nice.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
Yeah.
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, here's the thing, right? I legitimately feel like you can take our conversations around Concord last year and just replay that episode of Games Daily, and it's going to be the exact same thing. I just think the problem there is it's even worse now because that's happened and we saw how it ended, so I just think it's a little more rough for this to be coming out now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
What's up everybody? There's so many timers on your phone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
I will say looking at it, I personally think it looks really cool. I don't think that this looks like just another one of these things. I think there is a nice visual style to this that is fun and colorful in ways that I appreciate. Having said that, It's not Marathon. This is definitely a departure from what Marathon was.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
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?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
On top of that, hearing that this wasn't free-to-play was definitely a shock to me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Thank you so much. Thank you, Barrett. Thank you. Stella posted something on X and I went, oh God, did I really do that? I just, I blanked out and then I just ended up presenting the award.
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 have a PlayStation 5, and I played PlayStation since I was a kid. And I recently got a Steam Deck, so I am now obsessed with my Steam Deck. But this, well, this makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? Because Xbox are clearly pivoting to... I want you to play me everywhere. Let's forget the box. Ironic that it's called a box because that is not what they're doing. 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 mean, whether this is true or not, I imagine that it is. It is a strategy where you say everything comes to Xbox. Everything is filtered through us. We are the place where you can play everything. We have Game Pass. We have Steam. We have... Thank you. Yeah, this is it. They want to be absolutely everywhere. And what it means is that like, oh, I play on Steam. Don't worry.
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 on Steam through Xbox. You can do everything through Xbox because that's what they're providing now. They want to provide a service and they become synonymous with 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
listening to content through the spotify service at that point i'm listening to content i own separately outside of spotify but just using spotify as sort of the conduit right sort of just the player we're lazy we are late we every human beings are lazy and we're getting lazier and we want we want ease of access so basically they're saying that guys you don't need to go anywhere else but xbox because yeah everything there because what what is it it would be extra clicks to go from um xbox to then go to steam to then go to here it's like you don't have to leave you can stay here which
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 so simple, but it's so effective. We use Xbox ecosystem as a word. You don't really call PlayStation ecosystem because they don't really push it because they want you to buy the box. Obviously, there's an ecosystem. It's the trophies. It's naturally there, but they push it. We talk about it all the time. Every time I listen to the show, it's always 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
That's what they're creating, something that is self-sustaining, something where you don't have to leave. And what happens when you go to Steam? When you click back out of Steam, you're going to go back into Xbox. You're going to go back into the, you know, the user interface that they have there. That's 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
They want to keep you there because there's money to be had there and they're providing a very small convenience for you that means that this is possible. I think it's, you know, it's a matter of time, isn't it, before this happens. Interesting also, you know, there are rumors of this 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
handheld right yeah what we're going to be playing you know it's it's what they want to make it as easy as possible to do that and they are clearly pivoting to something that means that we we have changed our business strategy we've recognized where we are in the industry and we're trying to do something different we are zigging we're zagging and you know more power to them
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. Are we getting naked?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Would there... I guess the question I'm asking you is... Well, you're saying if you can get through Steam, then if they're going to put games on Steam, you can play God of War.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
No. Because obviously that's just another click, isn't it? Why would that... You know, but... It's also weird.
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 this industry is so entrenched in the idea of console wars, which executives have recently admitted that they actively play into because that was the best way of selling something to you. Because ultimately, it only matters so much as we sell units of something.
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 what's very, very clear over the past couple of years is that in order to achieve the infinite growth that we so wish, there is a cap on how many consoles can be sold. We know that. We're not selling more consoles than the last generation. The console market... isn't growing exponentially. So we need to figure out ways of doing 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 clearly the executives have done, have got more data than they can ever have before. And they go, you can play it on different platforms. That's the best way because we're only going to sell what maximum, we're not going to sell more than the PS4. We might get up to that. So we know that the cap of consoles is there. but we still want the curve to go 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
Yeah, and like, you know, I think that'd be the dream if you can play anything anywhere. There is an incredible brand loyalty to PlayStation. And I said, what do you play? I play PlayStation. And they have created over the past 10 years an undeniable fingerprint. That is, there is something. So you can't really, you can't explain it, but you know it's a PlayStation 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
maybe x you know like we're comparing these companies because they are in competition i don't think they're in direct competition anymore i think they realize that maybe we need to play a little bit nice because actually we if if we play nice we'll make a little bit more money it played good in the xbox 360 ps3 era it played well with the you know the openings of the ps4 and the you know handing off the discs and everything like that but now that's not the messaging that doesn't benefit us i'm still waiting for the day they announce how that was going to 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. And I love every second of it. Thank you so much. I love it. I love video games. I love the community. I listen to you guys every day. I love... being able to engage with a community that has given me so much. So I'm staying in this sandbox. People have given me a playground and I just want to stay 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
I mean, what was the one that really shook it? MLB The Show. That was the one where that was the, oh, my God, is this going to happen? Maybe that's what broke the dam. Because it just kind of slowly went, oh, this is what's happening. And, you know, we've got Indiana Jones coming to PlayStation soon. People don't care. They just want to play good 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
They don't care where they play it as long as they get good games. You know? Expedition 33 coming day one game pass. Also, you can play it anywhere else. You can play anywhere else.
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 fucking awesome. That's cool. Everyone's playing nice. Everyone gets to play the game because that's what we want. We want people to play games because playing games is fun. We want opportunities to express our joy and pleasure and have fun and relief. That's what we want to do. So play wherever you want to play.
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 hopefully, you know, this is another step for Xbox being pioneers at, I mean, they're smart. Phil Spencer is a very, very smart man. Aaron Greenberg is a very, very smart man. They know their audience. And they also can see stuff that we can't see. They have access to analytics that we can't possibly comprehend. So they're doing stuff for a reason.
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 trust them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
They're it. Yeah. This doesn't surprise me. Look, when you are... What's been so amazing, there's a lot of the Hazelight team walking around GDC at the moment, which is cool to see the Hazelight hoodies and the Split Fiction hoodies. So shout out to them. They're really kind of doing a bit of a victory lap right now, and rightly so.
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 is what happens when you put a huge amount of hard work into redefining... what it is to play a co-op video game. They are, they are true, true, true pioneers. Um, I really want to give a shout out to brothers, a teller, two sons as a game that when we talk about haze light, like that game, I remember playing that for the first time and thinking that is, that is a special 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
I love that when they asked me to host the Golden Joystick Awards, I went, cool, but I want to make it weird. And I think that's cool. I'm trying to kind of be almost shamelessly authentically myself. And if you like it, great. If you don't, I totally get it. There's other 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
And they have only kind of taken that idea of, of, The idea of having two characters and how we can interface with those two characters. And they've expanded it again and again and again and again and again. And Split Fiction with the reviews, clearly, you know, it's crazy. And I really hope that people continue to recognize it. And they are. This is not necessarily, this is, game is popular.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
Let's turn it into something else. and absolutely hazelight get your bag um yeah this i mean is this being turned into a i i read this sorry to be really cynical and it's like a hollywood package we're packaging stuff together it takes a long time to make a film it takes a long time to like how many how many times have we been hearing about whatever IP is being snapped 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
It's being snapped up because they want to make some money and rightly so, but is anyone going to do anything with it? I don't know, but they want to make sure that no one else does.
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 literally, when I get back to the UK, I will play it because I need a person to play it with.
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 know, it's a perfect execution of a great video game. And they are very, very clever because they have gone, how can we have a two-player game that you can have one person buy it and then you can both play it? And it does it so well. Clearly, the gameplay, everyone talks about how highly it is, how they speak so highly of it. And they...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
basically say how good it is and that it feels like the perfection of a formula they've been working on again and again and again because they work in video games. Now you put that in a film, you just recontextualize whatever story that is. Also, blessing, they did a battlefield film with Rihanna. You know, like, not battlefield, a battleship. A battleship.
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 battlefield. They did a battleship film with Rihanna. You can turn anything... You could have anything into a film. I think I would love to see the team who worked on this game have some narrative say in it, because I think that's very important. But this is... This is just people buying stuff because they want to buy 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
Get your bag.
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, you don't... Like, film and TV. So this has been a rant. Film and TV. So many projects are developed. Development takes years and years and years and years and years. And...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
some some happen quicker you know this idea of packaging up things do we get x directed to do x y and z but these announcements are there to create hype these announcements are there to be like people are bidding is is there a bidding war absolutely but this is to enhance the bidding war yes like this is this is a project that will you even said it there's an it takes two thing in development it takes two came out a long time ago like we all we all just want to take ip because ip is something that again i'm so sorry i feel cynical today money money money money money
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 what it's about. And more power to them. They've made an amazing video game, and I really, really hope that this comes off for them. But what does this mean, in essence?
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, and we, we, you are in, you are in the business of making content. And I feel that, um,
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 do. We've got a first look, which is just a really cool trailer. I mean, there have been a lot of First Berserker Kazan trailers come out over the past week or so. But this is, I believe, called the Masters of War one, which we play Bob Dylan over the top. I play Bob. I'm Timothy Chalamet. No, it's just a really cool trailer and a really cool 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
film and tv is moving in is very much moving in the direction of content because there is literally stuff to fill streamers everyone needs an opportunity to sell their platform so they create content and how do you create content is by building up ip because it takes it costs money to create an entirely new ip so if you can bring in an audience to play something you know um to watch something
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
then you just know that you're going to have an audience that are going to watch it in the first place. That's all people want. It was comic books and now it's video games. I mean, it's always been video games, you know?
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 because Lisa Joy and Jonah Nolan did Fallout. And if anyone's a Westworld fan, then just... Some of the work that they did on Westworld, particularly the second season, is actually sensational. And they are people who understand it. And they understand how to translate video games and the power of what video games can present to the screen. And they're playful with 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 it's a sensational TV show. And I really hope that people take it seriously. They don't take it as a cash cow. They don't come along and be like, we've come a long way since Pac-Man. I don't play games. I'm doing this. I think I want people to understand the material and more importantly, why it resonates with people. And so why is it being bought in the first place?
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 really upsets me because I feel that a lot of people go, I don't play games, I can't play games. And you shouldn't have to in order to make something, but at least understand 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 now what is it? It's the most watched trailer for HBO max ever because people want to watch it and you get brilliant actors giving brilliant performances in a, in a, with a script written by people who genuinely care about it. Don't be Richard Gere in pretty woman and just pluck it or tear that thing apart, you know? Um,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
If anyone doesn't know, there's a Pretty Woman reference where Richard Gere comes in and buys companies and tears them apart and guts them for parts. And I feel like that is what it is sometimes. They want the name, but they don't know what the name represents. They just use the IP, but not actually what the essence of that is.
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 because First Berserker, yes, it's in the DNF universe. But it is almost like, you know, reintroducing this franchise to people and making sure that people can kind of get into, here it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25

Thank you so much. That's my official title. I always wondered how you do the cold open.
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 going to say it's what he wanted. This is what he hoped for.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25
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
I'm just a weird little guy. I saw that on Twitter. Someone said, oh, Ben plays all these really gruff characters, but ultimately he's just a silly little guy. And I love that because I take my work very seriously. First Berserker Kazan coming on the 27th of March, 2025. And I love that I have the ability to do 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
Oh, how long am I here today?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Yes. Yes, it's a good news story.
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 people take the work that I do very seriously and recognize that when I do something, I want to be as honest as possible. Clive is a very, very serious character. Kazan is broken when you first meet him in the 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
It's just cool. We're in 2025 now and more people can play more games in the ways that they are able to. And I think that's really important, you know, and this is hopefully representative of where we're going in this industry where more people can do 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
Um, uh, the, um, IGF awards, um, you have the, uh, um, I think it's, um, control alt something about the, the award for basically like different types of controllers that you can do and about how differently we can interface with video games and how inventive they are. I know you saw that there's the cat slapping game that everyone saw 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 I think that finding different ways in which we are able to interface with those games and whatever our accessibility accessibility needs are, um, and also if we can't see certain things on a game, things that we may not necessarily understand because I'm very lucky. I'm not colorblind. I have all of my limbs that are fully usable.
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 a wonderful, wonderful thing to see that we are recognizing this and we're making it easier for people to understand how they can play these games easier than ever before. I just think it's just neat. And you can tell. This is the way we're going. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Google, EA, and Ubisoft.
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 mean, I don't know how to kind of describe it. Dorian is all the doors in the house, but there are different versions of Dorian. So Date Everything is a game where you can literally date everything in the house. And you have people like, I don't know, Laura Bailey and Neil Newbon playing various objects that come to life that you can choose to date if you want. And I play all of those.
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 I can do that and then do a game like the first Berserker Kazan, In video games, you can have that kind of like diversity and you can play whatever you want. And I'm really excited. I'm really excited to play the game because you get a little nervous. I get a little nervous. I really hope that fans resonate with the work that we've done. I've spent so much time doing this, guys.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The First Berserker: Khazan’s Ben Starr Joins Us! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.21.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

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 should have brought them with me to show people. I got given them local fun, gave me some, and then he went, wait a second, I don't even have any. And I was like, oh, you can have it back. But yeah, that's cool. I think that there is... When a game is good, you can kind of do what you want. And their kind of marketing is so subversive. And again, that's what it is, right? Is I want to...
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 want to be a part of good games. Like when I was cast in the first berserker, I, I saw the first trailer ever at the game awards and I was like, I want to be a part of that game. Cause that looks cool. And so that's kind of my story into it is kind of being from a fan of when I first saw it in being 2023 to where I am now, where I get to talk about it and be a part of 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

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 what I wanted from this. It's going to revitalize the economy, Tim. This is so freaking bad, man. And look, we're talking about Nintendo here. 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.
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 I just want to let y'all know, I fought the fight. I care more than you do. But I really, really, really appreciate that so many of you care. I am sorry that you were let down in any way. But we did what we think is the right call. We got to go hands-on with this thing.
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, 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.
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 was very important that me and you specifically got to hold this thing and be able to tell you guys our experience, seeing it in action, seeing the screen itself, feeling the buttons, like having...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
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...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
hands-on experience with the the mouse control and the new joy cons and and all of that stuff so just putting that all out there um and also we couldn't say anything beforehand you know nintendo is secretive this is the most secretive they've ever been they're like you can't even hint that you're going on a trip that you're gonna be in new york that all that you're gonna be there at all so obviously we wanted to tell y'all way more information than we were able to so
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 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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Just setting the record straight there, letting you know all that stuff. So please, if you see people saying stuff, let them know that's where things are at. That makes sense?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
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
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.
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 like, I do think that they're pretty, pretty tied together. Like, I think that video games are going to continue in whatever way that they can, but whatever way they can to your point for the last couple of years, like we're already collapsing. Like we're already in 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
Oh, shit. Yeah. I mean, again, that's the point, right? Video games are just one aspect. We can talk about them, and I think we can use that information to reflect everything else. You can even talk about PC gaming and all that. The more people that are playing on PC, it's like, PC parts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
scary um elijah says china already had tariffs on the us as well so this isn't unprecedented foreign policy gets super messy it definitely sucks though love you guys yeah exactly but like to greg's point like the bulk of gaming is in america in terms of sales uh for for games like this like obviously the bulk of gaming is worldwide and asia specifically has huge audience but it they're focused america is a very big piece of the pie in terms of like full price game yeah purchases

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
Like what we're talking about here. Yeah, the console shit. Demon Hacker says, do you think this will be historical like the crash of 83? I mean, I don't know. I think Barrett was bringing up the crash, whatever. It's going to be a completely different crash than what we saw in 83. Completely different for completely different reasons. I don't know, better, worse, whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

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.

Moving on to story number three, Bungie's Marathon finally emerges from the shadows to tease something. This comes from Wesleyanpool at IGN. Remember Marathon?

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. Player character models were, at that point, still coming together, while enemy models were still in early state. 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.

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

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...

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
