Chapter 1: What are Xbox's plans for future consoles?
Players across Aeternum can team up with fellow adventurers to take down this level 66 open world boss found in locations including Everfall, Brightwood, Morningdale, and Restless Shore. That should have been in the main news for a second. We're going to have a fucking read that. That's that long.
I got to get back now that I'm through the main. Now that I'm done. Did you ever even boot up New World of Tournament? Yeah, me and Joey did a whole stream with it. Oh, really? Loved it. But it's just like it was Dragon Age time. It launched the day we got Dragon Age. I got a few other things to knock out for next week, but then I'll be back. Sit for Wieners.
So is it like... I know you talked about this during a preview. Please. During Summer Game Fest. Yeah. But is it... MMO-like? Or is it more... Because I think you had mentioned that it feels like it's a bit more approachable.
Especially with this version, New World Aeternum, they're leaning harder into the action RPG side of it. But it is still MMO, where you're running around and you can go fight open world bosses and stuff like that. But it feels more like... When you say... Am I... Am I pressing a button and then I hit? Oh, no, no. It's action. It's an action RPG. You're drawing the bow. You're shooting the arrow.
You're swinging your sword. Does it feel good? Yeah, it does. I mean, I don't think it's as sharp as, well, God of War for sure. Dragon Age? Yeah, no. It's close, but it was a hard one of going from that to Dragon Age. You know what I mean? Because Dragon Age combat feels so fucking good. Yeah. Whereas this one feels a little bit more M-O-E. M-M-O-E. But I'm excited to play more.
You want to play today? We can play today. Also, let me cash you my pizza bet today. Let's get a pizza.
Oh, let's do it. Yeah. Did we ever confirm that that was a pizza bet? Because people in chat were like, oh, yeah, bless them. Of course he made the bet. But I think I overheard Roger and Cool Greg trying to find the clip, and I don't think they could find it.
Here's my thing. Whenever we ask about if we made this pizza bet and chat answers, I feel like it's always yes with them ever actually doing their due diligence. I think they just want us to spend money.
that's where i'm at because i don't remember what the bet was if i'm being honest it was about concord coming back oh no that was for sure a real thing was it yeah we just the problem is we talk about concord every show so it's impossible to figure out where we did it you know what that's fair it was one of those ones where i was like maybe i wasn't on that episode because i feel like it happened with no i definitely remember this one yeah okay all right you'll get your pizza tim's a coward he'd never do pizza it's also confirming my theory where do you want your pizza from

Chapter 6: What are the latest gaming news updates?
We'll do super chats as well, but I'm looking through to make sure I do. I'm trying to do a month by month. Here are the biggest things, and not everything, but here's the biggest stuff that happened in terms of layoffs, game releases, Metacritic, stuff like that.
Oh, yeah. Are you putting up the PS Love You background for that? Like, what's the vibe?
Fuck yeah, we are. Are you kidding me out there?
And then the stream after that is going to be some Alien Isolation with Nick Scarpino.
I don't know if we could just say yes to that without checking in with me. We don't have that set anymore.
You're Barrett. You're Barrett. You know how to do everything. Okay. At least you can do the PlayStation background. Yeah, the normal Gamescast background. Yeah, like the PlayStation themed one. Godspeed, Cole. Whatever you're going to find out there, enjoy. Oh no, he's killing him free? Let him go! Look at him, he heard Andy's laugh, he needs to see Andy.
I respect it. He's like ready to go, and then he stopped because he was like, oh god, I didn't think I did this far. God actually let me go. If you're a kind of funny member, of course, you can get today's Gregway, which is...
I haven't recorded it yet. It's one of those where, on the way to work, I look through all the Patreon comments and the chats and stuff. I'm like, none of them spoke to me today. So it's like I wanted to get going. Sometimes I like Greg Way to get the wheels and the juices going, and then sometimes I like to put it at the end. So I'm going to do it.
It's a short day, kind of, in terms of on-screen. I've got a million fucking calls and things to play or whatever. But once we're done with Gamescast, I've got two calls back-to-back, and then I can go. So by then, I'll see what I've percolated on. Again, thread me on any of the threads of the things of the stuff. Let me know.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the Visual Triangle merch?
I mean, when we talked about this, this is what started the Gamescast conversation for yesterday. It was Life is Strange. Two episodes, two weeks early of our five episodes. What the fuck are you talking about? And I think that's another part of it where I don't want to be offensive, because I'm not trying to be, okay? Okay. I don't think Avowed is that big of a deal to everyone.
I think a lot of people know Obsidian, and they're like, fuck yeah, an Obsidian RPG, right? Like, let's go. Yeah. And there's Outer Worlds fans for sure, but I just don't feel like this would be the game I would lead with on this. Like, if I really... Like giving it five days? Yeah, if I really wanted to do this and start...
trying this more i mean indiana jones are they doing this with indiana jones like indiana jones is an ip right that's a name i feel like that's a bigger deal this strikes me as one of those things where this is gonna be the move for everybody right well i don't know if i don't know if i'm gonna say the move for everybody but i think somebody high up whether it's phil sarah or maybe just like a team of people high up on the marketing side i think maybe had a meeting with like the leads the developers and we're like hey this is an option for you like they told them i doubt this was a conversation
Hey, your game's on Game Pass. Congratulations. We're going to let people pay for it five days early, all right?
Well, I think a lot of the times it can come down to, hey, we're going to give you the choice as the lead of the studio. Studio leads still are business people to some extent, right? You have to be able to sell your thing. You have to think about the numbers. Your job is still to sell things. That's not 100% going to be on the publisher, at least all the time, right?
I can see a case where it is a... Again, a meeting, a conference, like a call where they are like, hey, here's what we're doing for the fiscal year 2024. Hey, this is an option. If you want to take it, we think it's going to make you X amount of money more if you give the option to play the game three, five days earlier, whatever.
Because it seems like there is a trend of Xbox games in particular doing this, but it's not all of them. You think the studio heads have a choice in that matter?
I think so. I appreciate Barrett's looking for the backgrounds. He's like, is this it?
No, this was, I know, I know for a fact, I don't have the PS. I love you one. Okay. Uh, no, I'm just clearing out a bunch of old.
