Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. Indie games versus AAA. Is one better than the other? From cutting-edge graphics and unbelievable highs, AAA gaming has given us some of the best games of all time. But indies give us heart and passion, art and music, and sometimes hit way harder than we think. Today, we're taking this age-old debate to court and hearing the case of Indy versus AAA. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your judge, Josh. And joining me, he wasn't sure how he felt about defending AAA titles until I reminded him how much time he put into Destiny and Destiny 2. And then he remembered how much he loves live service games. It's Ryan. Wait. Wait. Where the heck is Ryan, dude?
Okay. What? I'm here, Your Honor. I'm sorry. Are we good? Did I miss anything? Where have you been? How's your security here? Are you pretty good? Yeah, this is a legal court. I understand, Your Honor. I apologize. I was delayed.
for court this is important what the heck I plead with you your honor please okay well you catch your breath while I introduce this other gentleman that wasn't late and joining us he's the man that's never met an indie he didn't love well at least he's good at faking it it's Ace listen your honor I would like to call for a mistrial as my opponent here was late Yeah. Late to his own court date.
What are the arguments for the importance of AAA games?
You know, that will be taken into consideration, council. Don't you worry. Do you guys have a pen? Does anyone have a pen?
No! What? Oh, no, I got one. I got one. Okay. Hey, did you guys know if the Yankees won last today? The Yankees? That's baseball. Yeah, no, they didn't. Never mind, never mind. Don't worry about it.
It's so fun.
Something's going on here. All right, you know what? I'm the judge today. I demand order in this court while I welcome everybody in. Welcome to game court, everybody.
We're back. This is going to be a blast. Look, our first game court was a lot of fun. We love these debates that gamers have. And man, we have a debate for the ages with indie expert Ace here to defend all things indie. Ryan looking like he's afraid of something. You keep looking over your shoulder. Do you owe somebody money?
No, no, no.
How do indie games compare to AAA titles in creativity?
No? Okay. No, no, no.
Okay. Are you prepared for this?
Yes, yes. Your Honor, I was not in the vicinity of Wrigley Park from 2 to 4 last Saturday. You don't need an alibi for this. Oh, okay.
Are you in the wrong court? Oh, no, no.
This is game court, sir. Game court. Yes, game court. Apologies.
All right. Just make it.
Okay.
It's so stupid.
oh man all right listen welcome in everybody i i we're gonna argue for those that missed the first game court episode we're back the the goal of this is to argue things that gamers argue about i get to be today's judge and i am not going to be a kind judge i can tell you that i will say this as the judge I am actually 100% impartial to this argument. So I am going to actually judge based on who makes the best arguments in this case. I love indie games. I love AAA games. I'm going to pose some questions to you guys. I ain't making your lives easy on this one either. uh for those listening ace is going to be defending trip or i'm sorry indie games i was like whoa wait wait wait i wasn't ready i was not ready for that switch up hold yeah so so ace is going to be defending indie games ryan is going to be defending triple a games
the the argument here is is one better than the other um as far as you know you know gamers are concerned or the gaming industry is concerned i can see this going both ways in all honesty so We also may allow the listeners to vote on a punishment for the loser of this episode as well. So we hope you stick with us till the end because there may be a punishment on the line on this one also.
What are the main points supporting indie games?
All right, you boys ready to get into this? Ryan, you look like you're settled down now. Yes, sir. You're in the right place. Yes, I am here. Ace is like, bro, I've never done this before. I don't know how I feel about arguing with somebody. I'm the least argumentative of us all, I think. Yes, that is very true.
