[SPEAKER_00]: I got pop in the second seed, how are you doing, pop?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm doing good.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's good to be back.
[SPEAKER_02]: I really missed my setup.
[SPEAKER_02]: As much as I enjoy it, Kelly, I'm just like, I miss my games.
[SPEAKER_02]: I miss.
[SPEAKER_02]: uh I can't say that I missed streaming because uh I was on break.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was absolutely on break.
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely missed the podcast.
[SPEAKER_02]: Love the conversations that were going on while I was gone.
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw the the tweet where I was specifically paying because it came back.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not gonna bring it back up.
[SPEAKER_02]: What was talking about in that specific episode uh just to keep this episode clean and fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: a great time, just, you know, meeting people for the first time, seeing people again that I met at either mobile college, DreamCon, as well as like planning for future events like GCX, PAX West, and a couple of FGC events.
[SPEAKER_02]: I definitely want to go to CEO for sure, combo breaker might not happen if I end up at mobileCon, but overall it's a good time.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_02]: So happy to be back on my game, still.
[SPEAKER_00]: What did you make?
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you seem like you didn't skip.
[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't seem like you missed a beat on the Sonic cross worlds, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I missed a Minecraft festival that happened.
[SPEAKER_02]: I practically have to de-rest and all the fighting games that I play because I typically play those for like 30 to 45 minutes a day then there was NGS but doing the season of it that they have right now the catch up on gear and things I'm a little bit caught up right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just missing like the best weapon and like best armors or whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have the best
[SPEAKER_02]: What else?
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's just gaming in general.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's funny.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I came.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was working on the weekend doing some editing over at the weekend and I just think I came to realization that I might have to put down Marfa Rival for a bit.
[SPEAKER_00]: So why why do you say that dude?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like it there's just so much This too much like well like it's so easy to keep like to the problem I have with daily games or games that have You know a specific like you need it's a specific grind that you have to do every day So you can keep up and keep up but like you know the daily thing like oh you need to get these points So you can have enough to pay to get this thing
[SPEAKER_00]: I realize what am I doing this for?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even need to worry about it because the game past the past is if you purchase the past, you'll always have it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And secondly, most of the people that I play with don't play that much anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of like I don't really need to put it in my my natural rotation anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just wanted to play more story driven stuff because that's the one thing I I have totally backed off on more was like I lost but like I don't play as much RPGs as I used to and I really want to go.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love love playing it And I need to play I need to I need to fit stream Neo too still.
[SPEAKER_00]: I still haven't done that and like almost over a month
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so there's just so many different things that's like you need to get it and now since when Neo3's coming And I'm like, okay, I definitely want to get it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to I need to play it.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're finished that up So yeah, so I need to I need to tighten that so Marvel rivals are not it's on hiatus and fortunately
[SPEAKER_02]: I was going to say I think what really made me miss gaming was the only Muxia demo that they had at the campus.
[SPEAKER_00]: That other Muxia demo was so good.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like that was a like chef's kiss.
[SPEAKER_00]: They were fine that game style for for on the Muxia so perfectly.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not even funny like I was like.
[SPEAKER_00]: don't get me wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think 2026 is going to be Capcom's year because they have all the games that they are but that's coming out for Capcom.
[SPEAKER_00]: Smitty, you're going to like, it is going to be money.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is like, I mean, I'm not ready.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm not going to get Resident Evil because I suck at these horror games, but I do the Prag Magda really interesting system, but I get it, which is good.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now since I messed around with it, but on a moose is the one I'm going to really, I'm really going to probably fall in love with.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm ready to fall over there.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we'll be saying though the mode that you were talking about, like you said the mode in rivals that, uh, to try out the pv, uh, there's a pv e mode the Marvel zombies mode is like, I think it's kind of like a Duncan Stein's return type of deal type of situation.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're like, uh, they've got a couple bosses that and you got like,
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I mean, I'm going to do something like that, like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's a, yeah, that could, I'll be willing to try that out.
[SPEAKER_00]: That sounds fun.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I don't, yeah, it's like, I don't feel like that there's any pressure behind that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But exactly with it, maybe because it will make time and it's like a hurry up.
[SPEAKER_00]: That gets us the only pressure.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like you don't miss it when it's.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, but it's like, even then, I was like, whatever, I don't care.
[SPEAKER_04]: Some
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like I want to try it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for enough for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but you know what pop?
[SPEAKER_00]: What's up?
[SPEAKER_00]: You know the man who knows how to actually have nothing.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm gonna skip it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't think about anything today.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I got the 5-star general of the Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Andy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have to, I deserve it all day.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I, I demand it all day.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I am going to use that all day for today.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, today is that day.
[SPEAKER_00]: Today is that day.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's all right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you could, you could have said the fight to our general who is slain dragons.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because that's what I've been playing.
[SPEAKER_04]: The nameless, slay the dragon.
[SPEAKER_04]: So where I'm going to move some of this game.
[SPEAKER_04]: Are you sure?
[SPEAKER_00]: I've had a fuss like Albert's a guy, this guy's frame of like timing and stuff is like, oh no, but it's good
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they would say if like 30 weeks there, I was like, I was not almost done.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was not, I had a lot left.
[SPEAKER_04]: The second time this happened.
[SPEAKER_04]: This I'm pretty sure I am for real almost done as I am about to go fight the King Dragon themselves.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that game is really good though.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's pretty meaty.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I didn't, I think you said you had played it before too, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's fun.
[SPEAKER_04]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, it reminds me of a cheeserone adventure book.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's what reminds me of, but like the action and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a good way of describing it actually.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, no, it's great.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm over the fact that you're playing that because I know, like, like, I don't think you thought it was an RPG initially, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: You thought it was something else?
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I knew it was an RPG.
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't know it was like a text-based RPG.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and like that.
[SPEAKER_04]: So like, that was a surprise, but it's been a ton of fun.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I enjoyed those kinds of things too, so...
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, you know, right up my alley, but yeah, you know, mainly grinding that, you know, I got down on some of the seam next fest demos and what not as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I heard that's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that the.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that the siren?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that coming from your house?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
[SPEAKER_04]: think so I don't think so I'm gonna make me out for a second like it's almost like like an array like yeah first or something like what the hell is that I don't know that sounds sorry yeah that's how it is and then y'all oh yeah straight up I was like right about like oh by my mind shifted to survival immediately
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_04]: So video games.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so really, yeah, I've been playing that, you know, got down on some demos and things.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm kind of where you're at though.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I totally have board lanes for, I've made me play like a few hours of it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just have not had a lot of time to like sit down and like do that, you know, crank that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I know they've been throwing out the shift keys and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, we'll see how that goes.
[SPEAKER_04]: I did get access to,
[SPEAKER_04]: a closed beta for split gate two.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, what's yeah, I can't do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wait, oh, oh, that's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: They pulled it out of, oh, yeah, because they could, because all the craziness I was happening, I didn't know they were doing, wow, babe, that's so random.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's it's a weird like polishing off it's with the good gamer group is through the good gamer group that I do like play testing and and like surveys and stuff like that For like games that are coming out and they sent me this invite and I was like if you yeah let me know if you want in I've got I can send you over a code
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_04]: play because again, there are their time suck.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what I mean, those games are designed to eat your time and it's like when you think about us like what am I getting at this like I'm playing all these matches, but like I'm not progressing a story or you know what I mean like anything like that's like that starts to kind of wear on you a little bit and that's just me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, but are you able to talk about the ones or are you able to talk about the one you were playing Friday night to the message you are I don't know if I don't know if I don't know if I'm able to like if you don't know that I'm in I just can't I think I can talk that I'm in it I don't think I can talk about the actual game like what my experience while we just not do it, yeah, yeah, we don't know what we don't, we don't, we don't, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're trying to do that, we're
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll play it on the same side.
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, no, that's that's that's primarily what I mean, you know what we did beat a little nightmares to me and we picked up and started a little nightmares three.
[SPEAKER_04]: So we are playing that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm, you know, and I've done some of the scene next fest games.
[SPEAKER_04]: Reanimal, I'm really looking forward to reanimal.
[SPEAKER_04]: That very much is that like little nightmarish style, but it is a true couch co-op experience as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: So you could play it solo or you could do couch co-op or you could do online co-op.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the one thing that I'm missing from Little Nightmarish three is that they don't have couch co-op.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, give me all my cow co-op, but not coach co-op, come on.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of a thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: You would think it would be easy to do catch co-op.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is to do it, isn't it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're interesting.
[SPEAKER_00]: One would think that is not the case.
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably not.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's, man, he's been busy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's been busy.
[SPEAKER_00]: What about you, my house a week?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh man, it's like, I'm always going to say it's always busy, but I will say this.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did two things that was actually really crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: One, I finally did it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I moved one of my computers to Linux, full on Linux environment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh!
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and uh... You did it!
[SPEAKER_04]: Did uh, Mr.
[SPEAKER_04]: Some figures help you out?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, actually, I've been trying to reach him like I was telling him because I was asking one of the asking questions, but he never really replied back on it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not salty about it, but yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I've been messing around with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm using this one with called using Kabu to right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's things that I'm having issues with one of the biggest things is like for some reason Chrome does not work on it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, so the only browser works is Firefox.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think it's the operating systems issue.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's the card because the card I'm using is super old.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a GTX 1080DI.
[SPEAKER_00]: And just been history alone in video drivers are terrible, are usually pretty bad for Linux.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, so I'm been trying to mess around and trying to figure that stuff out and been dealing with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do love how it feels.
[SPEAKER_00]: It does feel a lot like cleaner, there's no blotware and none, random nonsense or co-pilot is gone.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it feels good.
[SPEAKER_00]: It really does feel good.
[SPEAKER_00]: So but if I feel like once I start messing around with it more than I want this I think I'll I'll still like I will be more in game the only downside I have right now is I found out is that I wouldn't be able to play online game if I decide this is on like this isn't on my gaming PC
[SPEAKER_00]: It's on my streaming PC, but I wouldn't be able to if I'd put it on the gaming PC I wouldn't be able to play anything that had spyware anti-spyware or anti-cheatware Sorry, that's my work anti-cheatware on it so because it's not it's not compatible to Linux at all whatsoever
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so the only circle the only way around that from what I've been reading is Dual boot which I can do but I don't want to mess around with that yet quite yet But yeah, but no, but my experience of it so far has been good because I like to troubleshoot and teak around with it So I've been I'm having a good time figuring it all out So once I get that up and running then then I'll start installing OBS and then see if I can start working on that and
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, but then but then also I've been playing a lot of I was playing up I got a key from our system works for double dragon revive and I've been Oh, yeah, and I've been playing that and I'm doing it inside.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to do a video review.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully get that done.
[SPEAKER_00]: Get that work been working on it over the weekend.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully get it done and get it out this week because this was it was a fun game.
[SPEAKER_00]: game is really it goes back to basics don't get me wrong like they did there's there's other double dragons that that came out like recent double dragons that came out but this one is probably the closest to what I would remember what double dragon was when I was a kid so so now about definitely definitely enjoyed it had had fun with that then and then there's another game I'm playing right now hopeful oh demon school I've been messing around with that and just love that game
[SPEAKER_00]: it's like old school persona and can't wait till I'll be able to give out the give my review for that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've been having a good time with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and I and I got to get ready because I'm going to be heading the Vegas tomorrow for an interview.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, oh shit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say it like I was going to let you know, but then I realized like my schedule is booked like I'm there for that unfortunately for that, but I don't have any time to do anything but be there then leave that point for sure, yeah, but I know but anyways, I know you have the one to talk about my my interview interviewing process on my possible jobs in the future that may be life changing
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know what?
[SPEAKER_00]: Scream!
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
[SPEAKER_00]: the listeners and viewers on Twitch and on YouTube to be a part of the conversation as always.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if there is something that you would want to talk about or something that's going to chime in about whatever we talk about or your opinions on the topics that we have today by all means it's type it inside the chat and we will go through it and go with you and go with it from there.
[SPEAKER_00]: So
[SPEAKER_00]: this has been like even though the week has been like, you know, kind of chill from the most part, like, uh, I was going to say that, like, on Friday, something just randomly happened that I was like, wow, okay, we knew what was going to come.
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't think it was going to come fast.
[SPEAKER_00]: But or comments faster than it did, but so as you know, Halo people were already speculating the Halo that we're going to be doing a Halo 1 remake.
[SPEAKER_00]: People so that was not the surprise.
[SPEAKER_00]: But, but Halo studios officially did announce that there is a Halo 1 that is coming out in 2026 that is going to be combat called combat evolved.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not combat evolved.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's called campaign evolved.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't pay any valve that's coming out in 2026, but the big thing is is that the halo one Camping evolved is coming out on it's going to be multi-platform.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a PS it's going to come out day one.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's be PS5 PC PC and on Xbox Series S and X.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now this doesn't seem like nothing to maybe anyone here,
[SPEAKER_00]: Big moment when you really when you really seriously when you seriously think about it because you know like if Nintendo ever decided to which we know This probably never gonna happen and tend to ever decided to stop and just said you know what we're not making anymore Consul system but we are gonna keep our IPs But we're gonna put the IPs on everything on on multi-platform like the face of the platform is Mario Mario on the like a PlayStation or on the next box or something
[SPEAKER_00]: People are going to be like, wow, this feels really weird, you know, or the time when I guess the one that we did come across is when Sonic was on moved over to the Nintendo when they stopped making consoles, you know, when they when you saw like adventure and stuff when they did all that, it's like, wow, it's kind of weird not playing a Sonic game that was not on the Sega console.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the same kind of situation where we are with Xbox.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
[SPEAKER_00]: This makes sense, this makes a lot of sense, and but the at the same time it just feels that it's just solidifying that this is not the same kind of Microsoft or Xbox itself that we all remember or know of
[SPEAKER_00]: and say that you it was a it's a success on game paths when you're only paying twenty twenty dollars a month on this guy on a thing when you paid like hundreds of millions of dollars for this game you know uh... it it just like i i feel that it like my feelings for this is like it's cool uh... it's cool i'm glad that they're bringing they're going to be bringing out i think for us as gamers or it's a big win everywhere everywhere except apparently Nintendo there's no announcement for
[SPEAKER_00]: But it just kind of saddened because it just also shows that this is the end of it's then it's the end of an era Like I don't think the Xbox is going it Xbox is at a no return point in my opinion that we're not going to see the Xbox that we all remember or or what or how it was it's own I what what Xbox is own original identity was.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I've like it's kind of it It's kind of like a weird love hate relationship of this, but it's like wow
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels awkward.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know what to think, you know, so I kind of want to get your opinions about this because like this is probably more up your alley spend the I don't know if you played Halo before back in the day, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've only played Halo.
[SPEAKER_00]: The first Halo, just the first Halo.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the only one that I've ever heard.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the only one I've beaten.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've played like three like the multiplayer, and I've played the newest multiplayer, but that was the only campaign that I went through with the first one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, right now.
[SPEAKER_04]: I own the troll.
[SPEAKER_04]: I own them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but you probably just don't, you don't have time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but like it looks clean.
[SPEAKER_00]: It looks good.
[SPEAKER_04]: It looks good.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't understand.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, how many remakes how many times are we going to re-release the halo trilogy?
[SPEAKER_00]: This isn't a trilogy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, this is a remake.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's why of the first.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is all Halo 1.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, this is Halo 1.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I will be purchasing this.
[SPEAKER_04]: Halo one was great.
[SPEAKER_04]: The graphics are terrible and is really rough to get there even and like it's it's much better with it than I've done like read like
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't even know what to call the other ones.
[SPEAKER_04]: Remasters.
[SPEAKER_01]: Remasters?
[SPEAKER_04]: Remasters?
[SPEAKER_04]: So like the remasters, but like this looks like a whole ass new game from when I'm looking at like this looks great.
[SPEAKER_04]: The in conjunction with this announcement, did they also announce a battle royale for halo?
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I've been hearing things about a halo battle royale as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Leave me, like, give me, like, the regular multiplayer, uh, the multiplayer aspect of Halo.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't.
[UNKNOWN]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: kind of like Fortnite.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, because there was there was whole things.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they were working on a battery out for that newest one.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then there were just all kinds of issues throughout that development and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think they pulled back on it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I thought I I've been hearing rumblings of a battery out, but they were waiting to announce that this was going
[SPEAKER_04]: on all platforms are releasing on all platforms before digging into the battery out.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that it's going to come out with battery out.
[SPEAKER_00]: If they did the battery out, I've been assuming it would probably make it separate for money, money purposes, because that the only reason why you would do a battery out is if it's just to try to make a platform a game to print money consistently.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's it's in tune with it's all I do know is that you can play for it's for player co-op on this it's multiplayer and it's also it's also cross play
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be crossplay between between platforms.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all I know for an off and out of what it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it does look really good though.
[SPEAKER_00]: I will admit this looks really really good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Did they think about the voice acting?
[SPEAKER_04]: Did they recast or are they using it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't say anything about the voice casting.
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't say anything about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty sure that they, well, we already know with some of the people, but like I don't know the, if they're bringing everyone, everyone that was originally in the first one back back home.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, great.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, there's no way that there's no way that they're going to replace the voice agent, the Cortana.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way to be insane.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but like all the ones like Master Chief and stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so, but yeah, I don't know can't officially say it.
[SPEAKER_00]: What about you, Paul?
[SPEAKER_00]: Alex, good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's got me excited.
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you have any interest in this?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, I played Halo a lot back in undergrad.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was my first dabble into my own favorite Xbox franchise, but I was curious to hear what you and Smitty were going to say about this because I don't know if you guys have seen, but like one of the
[SPEAKER_02]: level designers for the original, it's just like they're ruining the game.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, I understand your work is being changed, but if the consumers like it, then like, yeah, that's luck, but he couldn't find the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's, I can't deny it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, look at it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't like,
[SPEAKER_00]: to your credit for what you had and what one of this came out 2001 originally or 2002.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been five years ago.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, 25 years ago.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you're saying that you have value of technology to make a look even better.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we're not saying it's like like it's a replacement.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just.
[SPEAKER_00]: everyone who is a halo fan which by the way low-key I have never played halo never played one never played any of them Yeah Because I never at the time I never played I could I didn't have a PC.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was strong enough together when it was on PC and then two I never bought an Xbox So I never was supposed to yeah, so but like
[SPEAKER_00]: to say that they're making them to bring the game back to a new like it's a mixture of a new generation of people playing the original OG and then most people's things saying that this game and Halo 2 are the two best of the series.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see a problem of them making it like redoing it, recreating it and giving people more access to play the game that made that that put it on the map, you know, I don't know unless they change unless they should do changes like like specific changes that's going to change the whole story of Halo that make Halo not Halo, then yeah, then you may have a point there, you know, it's like oh no.
[SPEAKER_02]: I found the tweet another another rant.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: There was something random about the, uh, uh, uh, so it's the announcement of, um, it was like here's 13 minutes of gameplay from Halo campaign evolved.
[SPEAKER_02]: He says you're supposed to be able to take the wart hug up to steam roll the hunters.
[SPEAKER_02]: I intentionally placed rocks on the way so you had to fight them on foot when you can just smash the crates out of the way.
[SPEAKER_02]: It wrecks the encounters, but the worst part, they put trees in the landing area of the woo
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so he's basically going to look at it as a level designer's aspect of it and not more like a bit of the fact of being a fan of the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, you know, he's a former level level level designer, which I mean, it was okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a lot of food.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then it's always an interesting time on bread.
[SPEAKER_02]: He says, yes, everybody.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know you can force the war hug through the gap in the right of your ways.
[SPEAKER_02]: I always spent most of the day making it discouraging and difficult, but not impossible.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're welcome.
[SPEAKER_02]: Although I did think it was not possible to get it all the way to the bottom of the shaft.
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys are crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: on further analysis.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure it's because the vehicles take damage and so you're just as likely to destroy the hog as get it over the rocks.
[SPEAKER_02]: If anything, that makes it worse because none of the vehicle tricks are going to work anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what you mean.
[SPEAKER_00]: What would it vehicle the vehicle tricks?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like is that was that was that a thing inside Halo?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like itself?
[SPEAKER_00]: Eddie, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm guessing to get it over the rocks.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, to get it over there to get a rock hit it just a right way to be able to get it over these rocks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so this is not obviously never watched any speedrunners.
[SPEAKER_00]: Me, I definitely.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, for a little definitely.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had no interest.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just because it's just like.
[SPEAKER_02]: I understand, I guess this might just be like me, as even though I do glitch those runs as a speedrunner, I don't understand why some level designers will say something a specific way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because at the end of the day, some speedrunner out there is gonna figure out some loophole to get around what you did.
[SPEAKER_02]: Does it better if you spent a week, a day, or a month building it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Somewhere,
[SPEAKER_02]: out there and I will never forget this happened with frontiers because the devs literally it was like a war between the devs and the speedrunners because you could literally just jump and a visible wall and get to the first boss in frontiers.
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't update, they added two invisible walls.
[SPEAKER_02]: They still did the wall, they still did the wall skip.
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, they are like, yeah, they still found a skip.
[SPEAKER_00]: So some people, like, try to, it's, it's some people really have a specific way of them or you to play their games.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, hence, like a sucker eye and, and smash brothers with, with happened with all of that with Smash brothers, a, a brawl when that, that whole fiasco after melee because you, and stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: But,
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, you know, whatever, like, yeah, he doesn't have skin in the game on like, oh, well, he should, like, you can't do, like, because you did this, you made this, you know, if you're going to be, be sour on spilled milk on the wall, the, the rocks inside the stage has been removed for it, then you can clearly stop because it's your mad about the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just that you just mad about the artistic direction of how they how they laid out and layered the new.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and there was one comment, it was just like,
[SPEAKER_02]: I made it right and they're breaking it for no reason.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just like, take a personal.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a fun guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just, it's not a personal slate against you.
[SPEAKER_02]: And who's to say what level design?
[SPEAKER_02]: Some people probably complain about that level design.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no right or wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a fun or not.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's that's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, do people going to people play this is going to play this game and they will not I mean unless you're a speed run And because you you have a different set of eyes just as much as this guy as a different set of eyes for level design is just like is going to there's still going to enjoy themselves this game had a great story.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think yeah, I think that it the I think it's just the I mean this is the best move that the Microsoft is going to have to do in my opinion on what's going to what's going to have because it I mean let's face it Xbox is like
[SPEAKER_00]: like Hulk choke hold or their hold on their own fan base is going down and it's going good and they're needing to get as much maximum profit as they possibly can to kind of counteract the massive amount of purchases that they did for all these crazy studios which you know like I just think that like this is uh
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like I just kind of makes you kind of the thing like we're like what do we go to see in like five or ten years with that with like you know companies like with like halo studios and stuff like Like Xbox is going to be the shell of what it once was like completely it's not going to be something that's going to be unrecognizable when that
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, when I'm seeing this, but it's just, I don't know, maybe it's just I'm just like in a weird nostalgic look of the brand, but it just seems very, very surreal to see that this is out there.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're at the day now that Halo Day 1 is going to be on a completely different system.
[SPEAKER_04]: I always hate exclusivity.
[SPEAKER_04]: I welcome it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've always thought it was a dumb a dumb thing for them to do don't make me choose between which console to get well, they just play the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but that's what that's the thing that makes you get the console.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like that's the it's like a necessity, but like I understand why they did it, but the day and age like today where it's you know, it's so much easier to get a hold of games and and you know, and I mean like and and again we talked about that where there's this
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, we've got to grow every year and it like eventually it's going to it's going to top off when does the growth stop and then what happens when that growth stops they're going to have to pivot they're going to have to you know to me and Mike who knows.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but like I think that like how Xbox kind of got themselves in where they got themselves in is.
[SPEAKER_00]: League, they put themselves in a box with a win-game pass like and because like if this is the case and we should have seen this with Nintendo with Sony a long time ago, but you're in and you're out they get a ridiculous number of like just their numbers for their games are consistent enough to the level of their growth.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I just I feel that they got a but Microsoft clearly was trying to build something that wasn't there and then they weren't and they haven't been straight with people for a long period of time they haven't been I mean they've been shouldn't they've been putting at the numbers they closed off the numbers to people to see what they were really how they were how they've been doing for the past like at least since 2018 or so.
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... they've uh... the night we know that they were in a distant third place we didn't know how far back or how bad it was for long as the time they are still buying these ridiculous triple-ave studios like uh... like i mean
[SPEAKER_00]: The the Blizzard Activision is the thing I really messed them up 70 billion dollars on just with with with with that with that kind of numbers and then you're we found out that what 700 million dollars to make Call of Duty and then you're selling you're essentially selling it for $20 million.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, do these moves just didn't make any sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, and like exclusivity is a pain in the ass.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am totally with you there when you're saying that it shouldn't exist, but it's understandable if you do it in a non like greedy way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's just say that.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is probably the best way to really describe it because like what Microsoft tried to do, they try to buy their, they try to buy off their exclusivity by thinking that they can get the studios that people are going to care for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then when they realized that it wasn't going to work, then it was way too late.
[SPEAKER_00]: And as opposed to studios that nurtured by Nintendo and by Sony, they're doing it and they're selling it for reasonable prices for now.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to say for them.
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's just say for now, 70 bucks is just maybe it's just a well period of time that we got to move up and price it again.
[SPEAKER_00]: But still, it's yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, I mean, I understand the annoyance, but it's a necessity to drive your reason why you want to buy a PS5 or a switch too.
[SPEAKER_00]: I bought a switch too, and I don't even have any games for it,
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, it's like, it's so unfortunate.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm waiting for a physical copy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am waiting for a physical copy of Sonic.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am I am doing that, but like it's like it's like I really want to get I thought I mean I'm going to get the next Pokemon if I don't even want to know I'm like I thought I was going to get a ZA, but ZA just does not look good to me.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, sure.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's not like it to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, it's not the same kind of game.
[SPEAKER_00]: I usually like to play when it comes to Pokemon because it's a it's a legend's game, so the style is a lot different.
[SPEAKER_00]: The balances and what's cool, but but the fact that the city like I think I would drive it would drive me insane like.
[SPEAKER_00]: like how what was it was a scholarly and violet that I played and then just it's crazy weird glitches and stuff to wrap it up like under the original bunch that was hilarious but yeah anyway that was that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, so I think I was halo coming in 2026.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone enjoys who's gonna play it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I might actually pick this one up.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would love to actually win my try and play in this one.
[SPEAKER_04]: I will be picking that up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Can that look gorgeous?
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're all co-opping the campaign, yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Basically, I think it sounds like it's an hired.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is gonna happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not even hearing.
[SPEAKER_00]: yeah so y'all can uh y'all can uh y'all can uh y'all can uh be y'all can follow uh let me let me go and else footsteps like i'm gonna slow y'all down so i'll just be like cover fire i'll be like that's it i'll stay in the war rod and then i'll manage y'all so it's too depressing fire fire that means that's gonna be me
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, I just know it's like a it's like I'll just slow you down.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll just stay in the jeep.
[SPEAKER_00]: You all take care of what you need to take care of.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't be a Marie YouTube series.
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be that would be amazingly funny Jesus.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but anyway, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, pop.
[SPEAKER_00]: But what are you bringing to the table?
[SPEAKER_02]: So, not necessarily anything new in terms of gaming, but definitely an interesting topic that has appeared on my timeline as the director for FF7 remake has stepped in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Said that even though the original game is still worth playing, it's better for people to play their remake.
[SPEAKER_02]: And some people are upset about this saying that no, you need to play the original first, which the original debate was, you know, you should play the original before the remake trilogy, but the director came out and said that the remake trilogy would leave a stronger, first impression on anyone who's trying out Final Fantasy
[SPEAKER_02]: And some people are not very happy about this as they mention you know, oh, you know, newcomers are going to be left out or be confused at certain parts.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know, I don't know if somebody's even played the remake or even seen bits and pieces of it, but I was curious to know what you both think about this whole idea where if something gets a remake that you have to play the original in order to get a full understanding where like this
[SPEAKER_02]: sort of, it kind of gives like this, you know, if you didn't play the original, then, you know, you don't know anything or you can't be a fan of this series.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's dumb.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just don't know the way to put it that I think that's foolish.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have I actually I haven't played I played the first Remake for seven.
[SPEAKER_04]: I haven't played the second one yet.
[SPEAKER_04]: I did play retro get great as well Wait is retro great the second one?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that was like interstitial right to grab with the transitional Yeah, with the transition.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I played that I just haven't gotten to the second one yet
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, I played both the original.
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't finish the original because my brother erased my save data and I never had to hurt to go back and finish it.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I've never actually finished.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if I can see something.
[SPEAKER_04]: Here's what I say.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm glad that there's a remake because I couldn't see myself going back and trying to play the old version now.
[SPEAKER_04]: I love the remake, it's clean.
[SPEAKER_04]: I love the battle system of it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's fun, I think it's a great way to get people into, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I think it's foolish, I think like,
[SPEAKER_04]: I would actually argue for the other way that you play the remake before playing the original because you're gonna have a much greater appreciation for the original after playing it understand in the story than trying to do it playing the original going forward.
[SPEAKER_04]: The reason it worked when an originally came out because that was tough.
[SPEAKER_04]: the line graphics at that time.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't undo what the graphics are today.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's kind of where I'm at.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's done the thing that you have to play original to play a remake.
[SPEAKER_04]: But if that is the case, then I think actually you should play a remake before playing an original to get better context for the game and have a better appreciation.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's an interesting perspective.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like, but I mean, overall though, it's the fact is that he's saying the play, I mean, play the most recent one doesn't make you feel like you're getting less out of whatever the original story was whatsoever, but I just think that it's weird that people feel like they need to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you're saying essentially, that's like you could say to anything that made that had a remake.
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... that the person that was introduced to the series was the remake first and then you're saying that oh you missing out because you didn't play it didn't watch the original it's like things are out of your uh... it's something things like let's say i mean it's been twenty something years you're in the new generation of people who have never played farm fancy seven because they weren't born in ninety seven or they weren't they weren't around in ninety seven and you're saying to them let's go play a game on the system that is four generations back
[SPEAKER_00]: to go and to really understand the story that is not only updated and clearly like you know the same the same story which is the biggest the biggest thing that they're wanting to keep their focus on even though there's going to be a little bit of things that are different like the bowel systems or or even like side stories are not not going to be there but the main core story is going to you're getting all of that.
[SPEAKER_00]: an remake and then you're going to be fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's silly to think that you're for anyone to say that you're not a fan of the series or you're not going to understand the story to go back unless you play the original one.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, you know, if you want, if you're curious about how the original one is compared to Smithie's point, if you're curious to how the original one is, still play the first, still play the remake.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, for me personally, I played both of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not like the first one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like this one more.
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, I would I would easily say what play the remake more than play the original one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that the the remake does it does a really good justice.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the storytelling is a lot better with it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I still have not a fan of the story per se.
[SPEAKER_00]: but I still enjoy playing it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just so I don't think that it's like, it doesn't feel like you're missing anything at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's actually, I'm able to stomach it better than this time around that I wasn't the past.
[SPEAKER_00]: So no.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't understand how some of these people is like, you know, these are the people like I was also saying that these are the people that are saying that you gotta read the book before you watch the movie to get a better understanding to it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is it.
[SPEAKER_02]: People are doing themselves a huge disservice by not playing the original at all.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just plain just the remake, but at the end of the day, first of all, people can do what they want to do with their money.
[SPEAKER_02]: And second of all, nostalgia is kicking people in the stomach for real.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, they may be not something.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe straighten the head and just some brain cells are missing now because you think that, you know, by just only playing a remake you're missing out on some treasure that the original had.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's funny that you use the movie because like I will not if I know a movie has a book I'll actually watch the movie before reading the book because if I read the book before watching the movie There's no chance I'm ever gonna the movie will never live up to the book
[SPEAKER_03]: So, why would you spoil that much?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's like, it's like, for me, it's like, all right, I would rather watch the movies and then go back and read the book.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's in the way that it was like, I don't remember it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And in manga, people like, oh, you know, the animation doesn't live up to the manga's expectations.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, what are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_04]: That's crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if it looks good and doesn't look like a PowerPoint slideshow, then it's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the only thing that the only thing that yeah that I would have is if they the the biggest thing that I would say that would change Everything on this whole conversation is if they change the story if they did right now and then then we would have a conversation to sit on or to talk about because Because because other than that you're still like I said if they if they were like, oh, no, eras did a Spoiler's like no, eras didn't die, but like you're a lot
[SPEAKER_00]: No, you said you went all the way, you said you'd do the first disc on fall fancy seven originally back in the day didn't you beat that yeah, that was first disc
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's been she's been she's been she's in the group.
[SPEAKER_00]: She's been the group the whole time or or whatever Someone else dies instead of instead of instead of the main dude or instead of errors.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was really Teetha dies instead of errors or something.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then they're like I'm just saying a little bit about rage because it's like it's not it It's not what you it's not how the story was intended to be
[SPEAKER_00]: Fine, but like my goodness guys like it's it for people to be upset about Little low and keep this in mind.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a bite.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a it's a subjective opinion And this is the guy that it that created a game that's making the trilogy game of one of the bit of the all-time Most popular RPGs out there.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to say play the original.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's gonna say play my game
[SPEAKER_02]: And then here's the thing, of course he's going to say play the remake when he literally saved the original purpose for the remake was to get new people into the game.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why are you going to, why is he going to advertise something different than his intention?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's it's very interesting people.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming this clearly is a hell of a thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is now.
[SPEAKER_00]: This this just this just this just reeks of a Twitter Twitter ran.
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely a Twitter rant.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is this is what this is the like so it's those people.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's just maybe just.
[SPEAKER_04]: Outrage of outrage at this point because like I don't think people care Uh, uh, uh, uh And if we're doing remakes can we please get a freaking chrono trigger remake please?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want the chrono trigger remake to be honest with you.
[SPEAKER_04]: Give it to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't want one Uh, like I don't want it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am terrified if they do a chrono trigger remake because like it needs it needs to be the same But you'll they do if they do a remake they need to do it the same way as fancy tactics That's what they would have to do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: What like it what?
[SPEAKER_01]: Abby really really good
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that would be good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, like, the new tactics remake that they made that they just came out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, okay, well, anyways, far fits the tactic.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, far fits the tactics.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all this.
[SPEAKER_02]: or the remakes, you can play with the original graphics or you can play with the updated graphics.
[SPEAKER_02]: They've mixed nostalgia with new crowd very, very well.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's done so well to the point.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's probably one of my favorite remakes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, this is the 2020's decades this made of gaming.
[SPEAKER_00]: And voice acting.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: No.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm totally, I totally did a blurb about this.
[SPEAKER_00]: On this, on this Corona was still mute.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's possible.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, but everyone else could be voice actors.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or they do what they do for like, you know, like the, the protagonist in persona games.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they do like, you know, a generic voice for like his actions.
[SPEAKER_00]: But they don't, he never says anything.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'll be fine with that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think going back and playing chrono trigger for myself is worth a go.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know I love it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've been a kid.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's so much about it that I don't really actually remember.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was been years since I haven't played it since I was a kid.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you should play it again.
[SPEAKER_00]: I played it the most recent time I played it was two years ago and I was like, I loved it again.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like.
[SPEAKER_00]: All over again the game is so good I just don't like that's one of those games that that's that one is
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, fall fancy can get away with it because fall fancy was a 3D, if fall fancy seven hundred to 3D animate, it was 3D with the triangles in polygonal kind of systems and set ups and stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you could refine that to be better.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know if you could beat anything better than like, you know, uh, what's it called, uh, of a bit, the, uh, 16 bit, uh, style that, that's, that's what I'm trigger did.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, if, if to make that 3D, I don't know if I would love that.
[SPEAKER_00]: or maybe if they do what they do for like Octopath Traveller 2.5d, dude.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, 2.5d or something.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, give me that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it doesn't need to be, yeah, you're right.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_04]: We still want that, like if the needs to retain some of that that oldness to it, but like they could definitely do some things to my gosh.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that would be good.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see, yeah, but I don't know, dude, it terrifies me if they decide if they do a culture remake.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have to, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be great.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, but oh, man.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but they did.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that but that's cool though.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well I just say folks just calm down Don't worry about what other people think do you do you boo boo and just get just I mean and play the play the remake the remake the remake is a good game It's it is a good game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry about if you like you're not miss you don't feel like you're missing out.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not missing out.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just
[SPEAKER_00]: There's just people just being mad on Twitter just because they're mad on Twitter.
[SPEAKER_00]: So there you go.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know if you've approved exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's close this off.
[SPEAKER_00]: Smitty, what are you bringing to the table, my friends?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we close enough with another steam next fest game as well that we get the play.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know that we're a huge Marvel nerds and a Marvel cosmic invasion that just released their final two characters of 15 playable characters along with the release date.
[SPEAKER_04]: We know now that it will be coming out December 1st.
[SPEAKER_04]: 15 playable characters, like I said, they got Captain America Wolverine, Rocket Raccoon Spider-Man, Venom Storm, She Hulk, File-Avel, Nova Black Panther, Baderay Bill, Silver Surfer, Cosmic Ghost Rider, and the two last ones being Phoenix and invincible Iron Man.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is a beat of up game.
[SPEAKER_04]: you know, very similar to like the I think it like the old turtle games and stuff like that and and whatnot like it's fun.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's got all kinds of characters.
[SPEAKER_04]: I love the fact that they've got 15 playable characters.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a poor player co-op either you can do a locally or online like this is a have a bag or get a big bowl of popcorn sit around a TV fire it up and and get some, you know, get the beaten some ass.
[SPEAKER_04]: I am absolutely pumped for this game.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is one that I plan on getting just because it's, I'm, I'm a nerd.
[SPEAKER_04]: I wanted to know where you guys thought to her you guys pumped for cosmic invasion if you guys have been following along at all with it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, hell yeah, definitely, man.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, I'm breaking it back so I like is that they like some of the characters that they they're choosing are people that are really unconventional characters So I was like wow, okay, they chose they chose cosmic ghost writer.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, okay, that's right
[SPEAKER_00]: That was just all the go-triiders cost me go-triider.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess the name caused me to engage in it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess there has to be a reason for it, the methamad, and it's in the, I forgot the name of the character, the girl that's like Dr.
[SPEAKER_00]: Strange.
[SPEAKER_00]: I forget her name.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is via a honomy.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's, um...
[SPEAKER_04]: Phyla Vell, Phyla Vell.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like the awesome shoot, yeah, I am looking forward to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not, this is going to be a fun.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, it's going to be a fun one to pick up.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I had a great time playing the demo of it this week.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was just like, ooh, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is going to be like the Silent Everythings.
[SPEAKER_00]: What about you, Papa, do you think?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm excited for it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been talking about this game with some of my speedrun friends and we're ready to do some run whether it's, you know, we love the, love a good beat them up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just a strong roster.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm wondering if they're going to add more characters as like DLC.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was thinking about that too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, 14 characters, you think that's not enough, 15, 15.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
[SPEAKER_04]: Have they announced a price for this game?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I just checked it out.
[SPEAKER_00]: One thing I haven't seen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: This game is probably going to be a $40 game because of the IP.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've had a gap in 30 or 40 bucks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'm estimating that's not it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is a, this isn't a guarantee.
[SPEAKER_00]: So take it for a grain of salt.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think that overall it's, it's, it's going to be, it's going to be, I want to say price, I guess it would be pricey for that kind of game, but it is going to be about 30 or 40 bucks because Marvel needs to get that money.
[SPEAKER_04]: 40 would be.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, no, no, 40 would be.
[SPEAKER_04]: That starts to become a tough cell.
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, maybe not.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I mean, how long is the game?
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't really belong either, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: The most probably, I mean, if I had the guests, I mean, I can't get, well, I don't want the guests, but like, yeah, not usually that long.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I guess that's yeah, like, we'll see.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll tell you.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm getting it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's nothing's going to change.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just I've just haven't seen any kind of price point on it or anything like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I have to agree with certain I mean we got a little bit of time, but I might want to be announcing that here in a little bit be the most are like one of the my favorite little white genres because it doesn't take much to kind of
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like it doesn't take much time to invest in in it all, like it's a couple of hours.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you're just doing, you're just, you're just messing around and just dealing with all that stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like I can't wait till the, uh, a poppy Hendrix that's pretty with buy it even if it was a hundred dollars, which is very true.
[SPEAKER_00]: True.
[SPEAKER_04]: That is not true.
[SPEAKER_04]: I would have, I would have for would be Mario Kart though.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, yeah, this guy will end up spending that amount of money on my orders crazy stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're you're super They're gonna come out with the L.C.
[SPEAKER_04]: I love Mario Kart.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you that's what I mean?
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what you don't know's my thing You need the place on the cross worlds my friend.
[SPEAKER_04]: Try to know I do need to check it out.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know I Mean I'm a head.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I've got my chains on it yet
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going over to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going over to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going over to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going for a physical like as you know, so like, but yeah, but yeah, the overall like I think that this game is going to be it's going to be it's going to be a little bit of ups in general's defense of just a fun style.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like I need to still pick up G I Joe the new G I Joe game that came out this year and
[SPEAKER_00]: No, there's a new GI Joe game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Really?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a GI Joe game on the steam and then Limited run games is publishing a He-man one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's coming in 26 so that one's gonna be a fun one too.
[SPEAKER_00]: So looking forward to that
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and the one that made by the same people who did Streets of Rage just came out this year, ab-solum.
[SPEAKER_00]: That one is a real good game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, that one's a real fun, really great game from a great developer as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but no, tribute game is just gonna hold our own.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm, the tribute already got my money after I saw the announcement back at the summer game fest.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, no, this is not gonna change it any, any more any less, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so it's going to be fun.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, let's do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just going to be, it's going to be wild.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just cannot wait.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's going to be awesome.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was looking at how rat the cobras like you're talking about.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you're at the cobras.
[SPEAKER_00]: Rat the cobras.
[SPEAKER_00]: How much is that?
[SPEAKER_04]: That is 25.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, 25.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming it's going to be around 25 to 30 bucks.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it should be okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I would imagine they're going to price it around there.
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... marvellous motivation or conspeak yeah yes i was all you were okay cool yeah i think i would also be a good story a good good good thing to listen to there's another one yeah just like a good deal the mess around with all the saturday or so just to be like just to go with it with uh... yeah that would be uh...
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I mean, that's, that's going to be fun.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, cause we're good judges, it's going to be nice knowing Disney will be 50, but you know, I was saying earlier that that I wouldn't be surprised at this game at Max is going to be 40.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if they can get away with 50.
[SPEAKER_00]: This game is to me, just yeah, yeah, even though it's a just like the reason why I say 40 is a Disney.
[SPEAKER_02]: Marvel rivals is free.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, it's it's it's still a list of the IP.
[SPEAKER_02]: They could.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's an indie company.
[SPEAKER_02]: They can get away with selling the game for 30 and doing paid DLC.
[SPEAKER_00]: True.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but the rival system is a lot different than what what this game is going to make because this game is a complete game actually has a finite ending as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that one's a live service.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, live service that constantly bringing in new income for for the set games and people.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's a free to play game on top of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know it's I mean, I'm not saying I know no, no that's what's going to that's what they're going to be doing But I like I'll but to say that if it's a beat them up game, it's going to last two hours for 50 bucks I would have to say no I would not
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because like I'm assuming stages stage itself is going to be around it's going to be around eight to nine stages and then you can only go so fort for so long you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, until you start making tricks yourself and be like, oh yeah, it's going to be a no hit run or something.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right to make it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so we'll say now look forward to it looking forward to it.
