Listen, they're not moving the story of Metal Gear forward. Give me a new siphon filter.
100%.
Can you wait for Fizzint?
Yeah, I'll be interested. Obviously, we wish the best for all these people. As I said, when this happens, my money is on Sony Bend getting closed. Not because of a lack of talent. Not because something's wrong with that studio. I just think as PlayStation continues to watch the bottom line, do this thing, how do we make this all work? I feel like Sony Bend and Bluepoint are in dangerous water.
They are on thin ice here. Again, as we talked at length about last week, not because of themselves, right? They tried to answer the call of PlayStation wanting live service titles, but I think that didn't work. And now Sony bends there. And what are they going to move to? How long will that take to mobilize them again? Bluepoint? I think you can toss. All right. Remaster this game. Do this.
We have a, there's, we can immediately give you a project to get you going to get you out the door with something. Whereas with Sony bend, I think, You assume it's from the ground up. I'm sure they've had other ideas and maybe something else was in pre-pro, yada, yada, yada. But I worry about how long PlayStation lets them gestate on it.
And even if it is that, you gestate on it and get down the line. And guess what? That one also isn't up to snuff for whatever reason PlayStation says.
I would say you're more likely to get the remake from Bluepoint. Yeah, I think... That was the thing that was reported before. That's been kicked around forever, right? So you figure, yeah, that would be whatever. And again, to what Shu was talking about in his interview last week with me, right? Of like, these remakes, remasters are what pays the bills to keep them making other things.
So I could easily see that being the switch flip. Whereas again, Sony, Ben, go make an Uncharted. I just feel like... We saw that not work out well for them with Golden Abyss, where it was... I mean, Golden Abyss' biggest knock is that it was fun, but it's not Uncharted, right? It's not a Naughty Dog. And so I feel like...
Unless they were ready to be like, Sony, Ben, go make the new Uncharted and you are the Uncharted studio from here on. This is the official Uncharted. Naughty Dog's never coming back to it. It's now your thing with your new protagonist, new stuff. Sure, but it would be the exact same thing.
You launch Uncharted, the new age or whatever, and everybody's going to be like, oh, it's good, but it's not Uncharted 4 good. It's not Naughty Dog good. It's not Neil Druckmann good. And you just have this shadow looming over you in a way I think sucks. Yeah.
I do, too. I do, too. A lot of great people up at Sony Bend. I'd like them to be able to make a game, but the fates. They say no. They say no. You should not be able to do this one. Let's see what's going on here. Super Chats on this one, right? DJ Kento says, do you think the game Black State might fill that Metal Gear Solid weird sci-fi spy espionage void?
Really curious how kind of funny staff reacts to it. I don't remember Black State.
Based on Blessing's reaction, no, I don't think he's going to feel like a boy.
Okay.
Okay.
yeah like this is such a tech demo slash like i mean this is one of those i mean and i'm not trying to insult them at all but again looking at it it and i i'm not trying to insult them but this is insulting this would be one of those you could show me be like we told ai to make a game and they made this yes i'm like cool yeah i can tell because everything looks sterile this looks like generic video somebody in chat says where's the sauce and i think that's like maybe the best way to put it
We will watch Black State along with a bunch of other stuff as we continue on our way because, of course, this is kind of Funny Games Daily. Each and every weekday, we run you through the nerdy video game news you need to know about live. We can only do it because of our members. That's right. If you love this show and like listening in, like listening to me blow my nose. I'm sorry, Kebabs.
I saw you complain about it. You should get a Kind of Funny membership. $10 gets you all the shows ad-free, the ability to watch us record the afternoon podcast like today's Kind of Funny podcast live, and, of course, your daily dose of me, Greg Miller, in a series I call Greg Way.
