So what I love about people from Kansas that are able to break out of the mud hole, right, is the fact that they can look around at all of these other inbred hicks, just the stupidest motherfuckers who don't know if it's water or turpentine when they're drinking it because they're so exhausted from having sex with their family members. You were able to look at these people

The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered launched in a not-so-surprising shadow drop at the tail end of the month, and in just one week managed to vastly outsell the original Oblivion's first 15 months on the market. This comes from Circona, which reports that Oblivion was not just the best-selling game in the US for the month of April in dollar sales,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And the third best-selling game in 2025 so far, it also sold more units in April than the original Oblivion managed in its first 15 months and brought in more money than the original Oblivion did in its first 14 months. While that's admittedly not a huge shock given the massively larger install base Oblivion sold into now compared to 2006, it's still an incredible feat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
The remainder of April's top 20 present some fascinating twists on the usual suspects we see on the charts. In second place for the month was Forza Horizon 5, up from number 42 last month due to its PlayStation 5 launch. Following it is MLB The Show 25 at number 3, and then Minecraft at number 4.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
up from number 11, and almost certainly riding high from the release of the Minecraft movie earlier in April. At number 5 was last month's winner, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and it's now followed by Indiana Jones and the Great Circle at number 6. Indiana Jones is now up from number 118 last month, thanks to, like Forza, its PlayStation 5 release.

As Sarkana analyst Matt Piscitella notes, four of the top five in five of the top seven best-selling games of the month on PlayStation platforms were published by Microsoft. If you're an RPG fan, you might be wondering where the heck Claire Obscure Expedition 33 is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Per Piscitella, publisher Kepler Interactive doesn't share digital data with Sarkana, and thus Expedition 33's digital sales aren't counted and likely resulted in it not appearing anywhere on the chart. Piscatella did tell me that its physical sales ranked it among the top 35 bestsellers in April, number 22 on PlayStation, and it was the 19th in monthly active users on Xbox and 21st on Steam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Quote, Quote, It's a game that was been incredibly well received by an enthusiast audience, but in the end of the month had not crossed over to the mainstream in a significant way. We'll have to see what May ends up looking like, with more physical copies entering the market and word of mouth pushing the game to a bigger audience. That is the end of Rebs reporting. As always, well done.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And as Barrett already tossed up, if you're a visual one, I want to go to Jeff Grubb, who of course quoted Matt Piscitella's thing, April 2025, top 10 best-selling premium games on PlayStation platforms, US dollar sales, with Jeff Grubb saying, half of the list is Microsoft. Of course, again, if we were to read down this list, right,

And of course, quote tweeting this, like I said, was Jeff Grubbs saying half of this is Microsoft. And then quote tweeting that was the one, the only, Ethan Gotch from Kotaku. And I should say quote tweeting is quote blue sky. I don't fucking know what you're calling. And Ethan Gotch pointing out from Kotaku. And only one of them was developed internally from this list.

So to this question, Norman, I think, and I'm not trying to dunk on you. You asked it for the FTC was worried about Microsoft getting all these toys and then keeping them on their one box. So theoretically, them being all over the PlayStation charts is Microsoft being like, fuck you, see? And like, we don't have to worry about that. And we are putting the games everywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah, you can get them on Game Pass would be a better deal. I saw it go through earlier. If somebody was like, are they winning when they're raising the price of Xbox? Again, they're giving you avenues to get to the games, whether it be Game Pass, cloud streaming, PlayStation, whatever, the devices you already have. That is such an interesting argument to what Xbox is. has been building too.

So we were always conscious of what we were giving up in return, he explained. We discussed things like toning down the visuals, lowering the resolution, and we even considered dropping the frame rate to 30 frames a second in some cases. It was a tough situation. Development of Mario Kart World began around the time Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was released on Nintendo Switch, Sato said.

The decision to move development to the Nintendo Switch 2 was made in 2020, five years before the game's release.

This is Andy Robinson over at VGC.News. Super Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto has explained why Nintendo decided to redesign its iconic Donkey Kong character, stating that the aim was to make him more expressive. The first hints that Nintendo was looking to retool Donkey Kong came with the Super Mario Bros. movie back in 2023.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
A more striking redesign was then spotted in the debut footage of Mario Kart World earlier this year, and since then Nintendo has replaced a plethora of marketing items with the new DK look.

Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Nintendo then officially announced the Switch 2 title Donkey Kong Bonanza in April, along with the official reveal of Donkey Kong's new design, which appears to be a cross between the version seen in the Super Mario Bros. movie and that seen in pre-Donkey Kong Country artwork. Now, speaking to IGN, Miyamoto has discussed the redesign of Donkey Kong for the first time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Quote, when it comes to the character creation and working with characters, I still take an active role in that, he explained. In looking back to the first generation Donkey Kong Country, we worked with Rare to create Donkey Kong Country. Yes, okay, I didn't get it wrong. When we were talking about trying to create new versions, evolving Donkey Kong, we created the game called Jungle Beat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
We worked together with the team that made 3D Mario. With that technology that was available at that time, we were able to make Donkey Kong more expressive. And going back to the design that Rare came up with, we re-evaluated. What can we do with the design to make it more expressive?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And then when it comes to the movie, we decided to move forward with this new generation of Donkey Kong design, end quote. Kevin Bayless, the former Rare artist who was responsible for redesigning Donkey Kong in the 90s, gave his approval when the new design was revealed in April. Quote, I don't understand why there's any debate to be had, Bayless wrote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
It's still Donkey Kong, only better looking. People need to embrace change more. All good things get better with age. Parentheses, I would say that though, since I've been doing this for almost 40 years now. Everyone give a big warm welcome to the new DK.

You know who else they care about? Diddy Kong! We go to Chris Scullion at VGC. A new render on the Nintendo website gives users a better look at Diddy Kong's redesign. If I have to hear Blessing talk about Diddy Kong one more time. The render, which can be seen on the character's page of the store section of the U.S. Nintendo Store, shows Donkey Kong running and Diddy holding onto his shoulder.

It's been known for some time that Donkey Kong has been given a redesign, but All we've seen in the new Diddy until now is a separate low resolution render, which was added to the Nintendo site last week. The new render gives a better look at the new Diddy Kong.

When the low-res render was released, Kevin Bayless, who of course we just talked about, came up with all that stuff, said, Thank you, Nintendo, for improving your Diddy Kong character and being sympathetic towards my original design. They both now look better than ever. I can now rest in peace. Other aspects remain unknown, however.

Last week's low render appeared to show Diddy's cap now has a round badge on the side with his own logo on it, rather than the Nintendo logo emblazoned on the front of the cap. As was also the case in the cameo appearance in the Super Mario Bros. movie. Neither that render or this one give a proper look at the cap in full, however. The mystery of Diddy Kong continues.

I could see us doing a season or something or a limited run or whatever, but we're so busy making the content you love around here, the core content that we double down on. I don't know when we would do that. Um... Onerous Prime is mad about stars. Understandable. Tyler is making fun of Ghostbusters, so we won't read that. Oh, yeah. CJ splits on.

Go for it, Barrett. Go for it. For that, Mike... Before we even talk about ranked, and I know people have their very strong opinions on this, but I need a confirmation on 200cc before I even fucking think about a ranked mode. Because if they do ranked, I'm serious, if they do ranked but it's only 150cc caps, I'm checked out already. I don't give a shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, like Link was such a staple. I know he's not a typical Mario Kart roster person, but 8 was around for so long, and I feel like he was my boy. Do we know if Shy Guy is in here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Is that how you unlock them?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Also, what's with the, like, are you, the costumes, from what I understand, right, is like you get an item in a race and then it'll change costumes. Is that how you're permanently unlocking costumes and stuff like that? Like, I hope that's something that they, like, address a bit more clearly tomorrow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Also, if there's no Shy Guy and no Link at launch, that really sucks for me. Those are my two mains.

Important update. Everybody. I'm very important update. Let me interrupt the show.

Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I would have to look into 8, because that sounds like there's a menu somewhere. Maybe not as detailed as Mike wants it to be, but I feel like there's got to be something like that somewhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
Yeah, that's because they were like, it feels like the end of the life cycle because it took like fucking two and a half years. It felt like as inconsistent as Life is Strange 2 drops. Remember that? Remember episodes of Life is Strange 2 where it was like, ah, here's an episode. Oh, here's another one two months later. Fucking six months later, here's the third episode.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
It got Link and all that shit. 200cc on the Wii U was DLC from what I remember. I think, yeah, some of those, like, There was four different Grand Prixs that were originally DLC as well on the Wii U that were part of the base game on Switch. I don't know if Link was an original character on Wii U either. There was definitely DLC in that game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct Predictions! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.16.25
I feel like they were more regular about supporting than the cadence that they were with the Switch. Also, Kebabs follows up and says, what I meant was I don't want stats tied to my cosmetics.

PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
As someone who grew up with two very young parents who didn't have a lot of money, in terms of what I had access to, I was always a generation behind. Sorry. Sorry. Getting choked up. Definitely not choking on food. Like, I got my first N64 in 2002, you know, and that's, like, post-GameCube coming out, I think, right?

And Duro in the chat says, like, casual audiences will probably just be a generation or two behind, and I think that's probably going to be the more likely case. It's not going to kill a casual audience, because there's still always going to be an interest from the casual audience of interacting with this medium. Sure.

Chats pointing out like Bandera and a few others are saying the dev kit thing has to be publicly purchasable dev kits. They're assuming places like Capcom and others like other big third parties probably already have those. It's more so for smaller indie teams that might be kind of waiting on this.

So are you talking about the port? No, I'm talking about DK64 on Nintendo Switch Online. We're adding all of these obscure games that people like Mike Minotti only know, but we still don't have Donkey Kong 64. And don't tell me it's because Rare developed it. Because they sold this shit on Wii U, blessing. It's time. And you know what?

It's our weird goblin brains, right? But, like, you and I talked a lot, Blessing, when Odyssey was coming out, that there's, like, a sense of momentum in terms of Mario's moveset that feels so DK64. And if we got a modern DK64 post, like, Odyssey, think about that.

Yeah, because it was so bewildering, and especially in the middle of a normal Direct, I feel like they would save that for the Switch 2 reveal showcase next week, because they, for some reason, conflate that being the same level of importance.

Fallout Season 2 In December, Season 3 Confirmed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.13.25
I think people are more antsy about this one just because it's Amy Hennig, and we have not seen an Amy Hennig-led game In nearly 15 years.

Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fallout Season 2 In December, Season 3 Confirmed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.13.25
And so I think that's why people are also just kind of nervous too with the delay of an Amy Hennig game because the last thing that she was majorly working on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fallout Season 2 In December, Season 3 Confirmed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.13.25
Oh, no. Yeah, I know. I don't think everybody is like, oh, Amy's not doing what she's supposed to be doing. I think people are just nervous that the universe is somehow going to come together and rid us of another Amy Hennig game. But I don't think I'd be too concerned about this, especially if they're saying early next year, because to me, this was a very late this year game in my mind.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Fallout Season 2 In December, Season 3 Confirmed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.13.25

More context from one Patrick Klepek, who writes on crossplay.news, which I believe is his sub stack. Nintendo just changed how to share Switch games with your family. It's cute, but with drawbacks. If your child asks you to share a game while at a friend's house, can you share it with them remotely? Nintendo told me no. So go check out crossplay.news for more of that.

Yeah, my... I wonder, just something that went through my head, is roughly 700,000 units less sold consoles this year because of the lack of GTA 6. I do wonder if that number is actually made up next year. By the time we get to next year and prices are going up and up and up for consoles. You mentioned the PS5 Pro. I don't know if anybody's going to be getting a PS5 Pro.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25
If that gets a price hike in the United States of America, that thing is... Expensive as fuck already. And so I do wonder if that actually levels out next year in terms of where the economy is at, how much money people actually have in their pockets next year by the time GTA actually comes out. That'll be something to keep in mind.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Kingdom Hearts 4 New Images Revealed - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.15.25

Another aspect of it as well on top of that because, yes, that – and it's a way for micromanaging and for control in office. Like, yes, there is the corporate speak of there's just an – there's a vibe and creative energy that we experience that can only be created in person. All right, dude.

It feels like a big... You know, there's always the joke of them milking each Persona game, right? You know, Persona 4 getting a lot of spinoffs, Persona 5 getting even more spinoffs. I liked the Musou game.

What you got, Barrett? Yeah, in terms of Assassin's Creed Shadows, if I'm remembering correctly, because that game is now a haze to me, it wasn't like you could do your list of people you had to kill in any order, but they would be like, hey, here's a group of four of the 12 that you can now go out and hunt.

The last six you can tackle in any sort of order, and they all – it didn't feel like there was scaling in that sense, but everything felt like a similar level of challenge for different reasons. And I think that's a more intriguing way to design an open world that is as free as this.

So if it's similar in the sense of kind of like... not being super complicated. I could see myself getting into this specifically for the story and lore of it all.

Last week, it was reported to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier and subsequently confirmed by a spokesperson that Sony had canceled live service games in development at Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games.

Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Nobody's doing it like him. I looked into this a little bit. Grubb explained, yes, all this is true. The two studios found out at the same time as everyone else. So people will be going into work today wondering... Hey, okay, what are we doing next? End quote. And here's a new quote that says, and what they're going to have to do next, very likely, is pitch something to Sony.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And the landscape of that has changed pretty drastically. End quote. Grubb suggested that both studios will have a harder time proposing a new idea to Sony because its closure of numerous live service games means it's not currently clear what types of new games it's looking to greenlight. He explained, a couple years ago, you'd bring your PlayStation pitch, you'd bring...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
A couple years ago, you'd bring to PlayStation your pitch. That is, it's a live service game. We know you want to hear that. And can we use the God of War IP? We know you want to hear that. And then they get the green light and they get a budget. Then they get funding and they can grow their studio, hire more people. The people working there are safe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And now they have to go back to the drawing board, come up with a pitch that PlayStation wants to hear, which no one really knows what they want to hear, so it's a rough situation. And that's the end of the story from Chris Scullion right here. Another kind of weird situation we're dealing with, Mike. Yeah.

For all of them to be caught off guard, for them to come into work on this Monday wondering, what is next? What are the things that we may have pitched that got sort of shut down? Can we revisit any of those old pitches? Or are a lot of those pitches similar to a lot of these live service games that were kind of being made? Are all of those also trapped in the past in a different era of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
successful video game thinking, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I would assume that two studios known for making single-player games at this point, right, with a studio like Bend and Days Gone and Bluepoint, who originally just works on a lot of ports and made the Demon's Souls port, made the Shadow of the Colossus port. Uncharted back in the day. The Uncharted, the trilogy, right, I believe?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
The Nathan Drake trilogy. So I got to assume that a studio like, well, honestly, either of them have a lot of pitches that have been, that they've gone through in the past that are single-player focused, I would disagree with you that I don't think that they pitch anything live service-y anymore.

NickLock 2.0. It's in development. You know, a good game is never canceled. It's only delayed. That's good, that's good. So I've been working on that. And then I tested out some multi-streaming, doing the Twitch and YouTube simultaneous things. I watched them both. I played so much Hyper Light Breaker. I have 36 hours in this game already. It's like not...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I don't think anybody at Sony is looking for... Unless it's like the most god tier of pitches, which God of War, massively popular IP. It's hard to think of a game or a pitch that kind of fits into what they're looking for. Yeah. Where it's not like... To me, you don't pitch a multiplayer game that requires an active player base. To me, you pitch something like Helldivers 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
But that's a multiplayer game with an active player base. But it's not dependent on... I guess when I'm looking at a game... I meant Warhammer Space Marine 2. I'm sorry. I meant Warhammer Space Marine 2, where it's a game with a... You have your vertical of this is the campaign... and you go through a story that we are very proud of, and you're going to enjoy it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And there may be a multiplayer aspect that's part of it. There may be some sort of live service-y thing like Ghost of Tsushima Legends. Like Ghost of Tsushima Legends that also has a multiplayer facet to it that is not the main reason why you are purchasing this product. You are buying this game to experience an awesome story, and we are known for our amazing narratives.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
That's what we're pushing forward. And sure, there's this little multiplayer thing on the side that might make us some extra bucks. But I don't know that if you, like Barrett was just mentioning, if you are these corporate overlords, I don't know if you're really looking to listen about more multiplayer pitches that will likely fail.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And you're already cutting shit off before it's even given the opportunity to fail.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And I think the Destiny 2 thing makes a lot of sense. I think the Destiny 2, Division 2 sort of style of... This is still a campaign. There's still levels and progression. And it's not necessarily just 5v5 whatever. It's not necessarily...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
extraction with pve elements no we we're still going to pitch a game that the single player audience will still love and enjoy and the single player audience isn't dependent on having three of their friends being online to join their lobby they can still play alone if they want to or whatever i i definitely see that as more of a possibility as opposed to hey we got this great idea but
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
On the flip side of what I just said and what we're talking about, this God of War thing already got canceled.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
This other thing by Sony Ben already got canceled. So they're already at a point where you have this gigantic moment with Concord getting canceled. Mid-development, halfway, you know, the game gets released, the game gets shut down immediately. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
It's wild that I put that much time in it because it's a game that I'm obviously really, really enjoying while I can see all the faults. And not even faults, it's just like this game's early, right? I think Hyper Light Breaker is unfortunately being released in a time where Baldur's Gate 3 was in early access and so is Hades 2. And you have all of these big, massive games being released now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
With these games not even coming out, with Sony Ben's game not even coming out and getting canceled, with Blue Point's game not even coming out and getting canceled, that signals to me that they have sounded the klaxons. There's like, hey, no more of this. We are not going to make money on this. And maybe Helldivers is the safe spot where they realize, let's take care of this baby.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Let's keep nurturing this little baby so it can keep on making money and maybe not try to take massive risks anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah, I think that... If I were them, you would be looking at the sort of double-A lower budget space. Can we put out a 15-hour campaign that does not have to bloat our budget like crazy? Can we make something that isn't going to be...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
300 million dollars down the drain and it comes out and it sells 6 million copies or whatever 4 million copies because that's that's not enough for them they definitely are going to want a lot more than that understandably because you put that much money into a game you expect this thing to you know make a shitload of money and when that doesn't happen they see that as a failure and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Um, I think, I think they're in a scramble right now. Of course. I don't really know. I mean, all these Chris Cullen and Jeff Grubb and Jason Schreier, they're all sort of nailing it when they say, what do you do now? What is the next step? Because we thought we had an avenue of how to make money. And now you're canceling stuff before it even comes out. You're canceling three, four years of work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And I know they said that the God of War multiplayer title was only in development for two years. Um, But when they get, when Bluepoint gets acquired in 2020, I believe, right before the pandemic hit, they already put out that tweet that, hey, we're working on something new. We're working on new content. And they put out that really cryptic tweet that had all these different
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
like mentions of Metal Gear and Castlevania. It was like an odd sort of tweet. It's clear that there was at least some pre-production done even way back then. Maybe that thing got completely scrapped, and then the mad dash for God of War multiplayer happens. But yeah, I saw Skill Up posts on Blue Sky the other day about why would you have... Why would you have Sony Santa Monica?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Or why would you have, sorry, Bluepoint work on a multiplayer God of War game? Like, that sounds just so odd. And then I replied something sarcastically, like, create your own Kratos and get your Destiny 2 pre-order bonus whenever you... with your Destiny 2 skins. And then Alana replied to that and said... The fact that I have to bite my tongue and cannot reply.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
That feel very, very complete and kind of like feature ready. You know, there's some content that isn't quite there. Hyper Light Breaker, I think it's a lot of freaking fun. And it's so early in development that I'm so happy that I'm still finding the fun, even though there's a lot of stuff that still needs to be developed for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I think so as well, yeah. I think that that's... I think that they know where their wins are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah, everybody works on a horizon game. No, I think they know where the risks are and what risks not to take now, hopefully. But, yeah, I mean, it's... It's so odd to me that even back... when me and Blessing play Horizon Forbidden West and go, man, it would be really cool to have a Horizon Monster Hunter-style game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I remember texting that to Bless, and now that thing has been in development, apparently, where we're like, wow, we kind of wanted this video game to exist, and it seems like something like that is being made. But back in the day, I don't think anybody would have said, man, I wish they made a God of War multiplayer. That just doesn't... That seems like such a weird...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I want to see what that game looks like. I hope that there's a sequel to Blood, Sweat, and Pixels from Jason Schreier. I hope that there's some sort of deep dive into it in the future because I can't even imagine what that game would be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Three Kratos is running around.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
So bizarre.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah, of course, Bloodborne. But I think all the criticism they get for the remakes and stuff is really only having to do with the games that just came out a decade ago. The fact that Last of Us has the remaster that then works on PS4 and then it gets remade for PS5. That's where a lot of the criticism lies. There's plenty of dormant IP that can be revisited and that can be remade.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And I don't necessarily know... I think that they're looking at their catalog right now and wondering what are our weaknesses and how can we kind of... What sort of niches can we fill? What voids can we fill here with these two developers? Or it could just be, do we make more single-player stuff? And I think that's probably the most logical choice. That's also...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
It's also wild that you're losing so many years of development. Can you get any of that development back? Can you use any of that for another project? My gosh. I don't envy them for the spot that they're in right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And you obviously feel extremely bad for everybody at Bend and Bluepoint, but I also try to see the glass half full side of things where... In this case, it does feel like Sony saying, hey, we know Concord massively fucked up. We're going to cancel your shit. And in a way, I'm like, oh, that means that they realize that they're at fault for kind of greenlighting all this stuff. Great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And it's also extremely naive for me to assume that that won't lead to layoffs, but I hope it doesn't. you know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah, I mean, we know the story there. Yeah, we've kind of assumed that. We've heard in back channels for why the Bloodborne thing was never happening, and that's what I always assume. When Shu talked about it, I was like, yeah, we've kind of been hearing that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I don't need Gabe Logan. I don't want to be Gabe Logan.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
But what if you played as someone else in that series?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah, I think you're making a dead-on-arrival product if you try to... Rebuild a game like SOCOM with multiplayer being your main focus. You have to make something that is single player, something that doesn't require an active player base. Because as we've said, it takes a company like NetEase
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
to have a developer publish Marvel Rivals, or make Marvel Rivals, and it requires a massive... It not only requires a massive IP like Marvel, but it requires a really, really good game alongside of it, and even then you're not guaranteed to succeed there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Marvel Rivals is somehow proving a lot of people wrong right now, which is great, but we always kind of knew something will kind of break through this. And... We've seen so many other multiplayer games already just kind of come and go. What was the last thing we thought about? Fortnite Ballistic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah, I just saw that when I look at Fortnite Ballista, I saw it as more of a push to do more along with all the other little side projects that they've been mentioning. And I just, I don't know, maybe I'm just not in the universe enough, but I don't really hear a whole lot of people talking about that stuff anymore. Like I, people know what they want.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Well, I mean, the point of early access is to put out a game in hopes that your fan base trusts you and you say, hey, have this early money for a game that is still in development that I know still needs time, a year and a half, maybe two years of development. I'm going to give you all money. I'm kind of like mortgaging this, right? Here's some money because I believe in what you can make.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
People know the, we see it every year where people are spending all their time in games that are five years and older, eight years and older. And so something like Fortnite, I think, Or Call of Duty. I think if you're Sony and you're trying to remake SOCOM, I think an IP like SOCOM is just something that is, that's not coming back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
It has to be a single player thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Weird situation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I mean, the reason why I disagree is the fact that these two things just got canceled. Like, I think if you... I think if this God of War live service game comes out and it is Diablo where you could play solo player, not saying that it would be top-down, but it is a brawler where you have your...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
If you told me that this God of War live service game got canceled because it was 4v4, four gods going against each other, and it's, you know, payload, capture the flower, capture the pointer, I could totally understand. I'd be like, oh, yeah, that does sound like a recipe for disaster and a recipe for people going, well, I already have Call of Duty. I have Overwatch. I have Marvel Rivals.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I have whatever, you know. We have all these multiplayer games. No, thanks. But the idea that whatever this God of War live service thing sounds like there was just based on what the product is, it seems like an outrider situation. You can have your friends play with you multiplayer-wise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And in that case, the fact that it got canceled just makes me completely believe that these corporate overlords are not wanting to hear these pitches anymore. Because if they did want more of that, I don't think that thing gets canceled. Unless the game was just completely shit in development and they were like, this isn't working out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
But if it's a live service and that's, you know, I think monetary research is something that can always be added later. I think, obviously, it takes more development time. But for me, I just got to assume that whatever they were working on was like, all right, you showed us this thing a year and a half ago or a year ago, and now we're here, and we're still not seeing the spark. Cancel it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Cut it off.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Man, I just wish I was a fly on the wall.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I am investing in this product right now. And if I want to be further into the sort of co-development with you all, with giving you all notes and things like that, even better. And yeah, it will turn some fans away. I think the Steam reviews were mixed at some point because I think there's a lot of good feedback. There's a lot of good constructive feedback that I've seen on the Steam pages.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25

Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Story number three. Dragon Age, the Veil Guard's game director, is leaving BioWare. This comes from Tom Phillips at Eurogamer. Dragon Age game director, Corrine Bush, has now confirmed her departure from BioWare and EA in a statement to Eurogamer. In it...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Bush said that she left the studio for a new post elsewhere after being offered an opportunity to build a fresh RPG that, quote, she couldn't turn down. At the heart, quote, at the heart of it, this was about my own fulfillment, Bush told Eurogamer. I did what I set out to do at BioWare. That is to come in and help right the ship. I love Dragon Age and BioWare. Bye. Bye. Bye.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
As for me, my departure was voluntary, and as I've been presented with an opportunity I couldn't turn down. I don't want to say much more right now, but you can count on it being in the CRPG space and upholding the traditions of great characters. Very cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah, really cool. She got a new opportunity wherever it may be. Yeah, good for her. I mean, if I were to put a guess on it, she's going to Larian to build Baldur's Gate 4, probably. Maybe not. But the CRPG space, that's awesome. That sounds great. I got to speak with Corrine when I went to go do the preview for Dragon Age. Oh, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
She gave me her journey about how she was working at Maxis, EA Maxis, working on Sims type of stuff. And then one day it was just like, hey, here's my pitch for Dragon Age. And then they were like, cool, when can you start? Like, all of that sounds great. Get in here. We need that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And so to help sort of right the ship where at one point Dragon Age was going to be a games as a service video game, where Dragon Age was a live service thing. And then it really took... the success of Jedi Fallen Order for EA to go, actually, no, let's just focus on good single player shit. And yeah, I think she helped to make an incredible game. I really love the Dragon Age, the Veil Guard.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And I'm like, yeah, that would be great. That would be great. And it's a lot of people that are just totally rational. And there's some people that... may have bought the game and are like, hey, why doesn't it have this feature? It's like, well, it's early access for a reason. You're not buying a demo of the game. You are sort of investing in the development of this game with us.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I know it's, you know, pretty divisive in some spots, but I had a great time with it. And yeah, shout out to her for going to a new place and a new developer to help kind of go guide them as well. That sounds awesome as hell.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Oh, maybe they're celebrating it. Maybe. Shoot. That's a great call right there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
This guy's an insider. I mean, you know, it's... To me, I am constantly, you know, given... It's like getting a nice little massage, Mike. It's like somebody being like, you know what? The game's fine. We're working on it. Don't worry. Don't worry about it. And I just need a little massage like that sometimes on the shoulders for these devs to be like, yes, it is happening.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yes, we are working on it. No word. Sure, we might be radio silent, and maybe it takes the PR to kind of come out and say, yes, the thing is real. It's progressing. They're working on it. Don't worry about it. Maybe, you know. You could read into it to like, why is the PR responding to this and not the game devs themselves?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
We weren't eating chocolate cake at the funeral for Hollow Knight Silksong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this does kind of. You know, put your mind at ease. If you're somebody like me who's just been a silk song, you know, just massive amounts of cope. Anytime we have one of these big presentations, is it going to be here? It's got to be at the new Keeley thing. It's got to be at Summer Games Fest. Games Awards is definitely the place it's going to be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Why wouldn't it be at the Nintendo thing? I mean, all signs point to the Nintendo presentation in April, the Direct.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
We're working hard. Like, that's all you got to do. Maybe a little selfie during a meeting. You have your Monday morning stand-up. You just take a little selfie and be like, talking Silksong right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And, you know, that could turn some people off. That's not for everybody. I get it. I understand not wanting to give money to a game that is not complete yet, but I am having a lot of fun with the runs and the builds and finding that a couple of awesome power-ups that go, oh, shit, this turns the run around. This could be really awesome if I am able to succeed here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
But I think it's also a bit different because it is a much smaller team. And when they first show off Silksong many, many moons ago, it's originally supposed to be a DLC. And then the project gets, you know, it starts really ramping up. They go, oh, wow, this is going to be actually a lot bigger than a DLC. We're cooking here. We're really making something.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25

Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Exactly. Have the police walk over to your house and be like, hello, we're just checking in. Wellness check. That's kind of what we need from Hollow Knight's Silk Song and the devs at Team Cherry. Just a wellness check every now and then so that we know things are actually okay. I can sleep well tonight.

Andy, read it. Jason Schreier, who is looking at this, reposting the story by Chris Scullin with the title saying that Bluepoint and Ben Staff learned their live service PS5 game was canceled. Jason Schreier has a quote tweet there. That says, I've seen this story getting a lot of traction on Reddit today, but it's not true.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
People across the organization were informed before my article went out last week.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
You open up Twitter in the morning. You're like, wait, what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
So Jason Schreier refuting the report from Chris Scullion sounds like a lot of people were already informed before Jason Schreier put out that article.

Knowing that this thing is maybe halfway done in development.

Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
But that Warhammer is a very similar thing where the IP just kind of gets given out fairly easily. Okay. This is obviously still a big bummer, especially after hearing... a little glimpse into the studio culture, the fact that 60 people, the fact that they went from two people to a much more massive team, a passionate team that then eventually gets canceled. That's always sad.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
You know, you're seeing a lot of work go down the drain and that work that you really poured your heart and blood and sweat and tears into is not going to get shown unless things get leaked or whatever. But yeah, that's, that's, that's a pretty massive bummer right there, Mike.

Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
No, don't blame that on me. A new rating. This is from BGC. A new rating on the ESRB website suggests that Resident Evil 6 may be coming to current-gen consoles. Hell yeah, dude. Resident Evil 6? You played that one. I mean, I would, with all the confidence in the world, you know, if there was a Mount Rushmore of... The most important Let's Plays of all time. Okay, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
The most culturally vital Let's Plays of all time. You have to see this, yeah. I would put not only our playthrough of Super Mario 3D World, you, me, Nick, and Tim. I would put the me and Ray Narvaez Resident Evil 6 playthrough.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I mean, that's awesome news. I don't know if it's a remaster or anything like that, but people will get to see the glory of that game. It is hilarious. It is such a funny game.

A search on the U.S. Games Rating Board website shows that one of its latest ratings decisions is an M for Resident Evil 6 on Xbox Series. From VGC, Pocket Pair has marked the one-year anniversary of PAL World by detailing its future roadmap for updates. There are no specific timeframes for the updates, but Pocket Pair said it's currently working on the following.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Co-op cross-play, world transfers for pals, final boss ending scenario, further ways to strengthen and improve pals, various new content such as new pals and technologies, game collaborations including Terraria, improvements to world object placement, improvement to base pals, optimization, and UX. Which is user experience, Mike.

And the final bit of Wii news is Hellskate has left early access and is now available on PC. Oh!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Hellscape is a Tony Hawk roguelite. Oh. So you get... We played a demo of it. Me and Tim played a demo back in the day. I believe sometime last year. And there's different bosses in the game and different moves that you can do that are powered up. And it's a very interesting, neat concept. And it works... I thought it worked a lot better than I assumed it was going to because just...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
saying that concept to somebody sounded odd and no, like this would never work. I did find it to be a bit awkward when you are skating and you're having to also attack people by swinging something as you go by them. That felt a little hard to do, but the rest of it kind of, it worked out for me, shockingly. And I'm not really big into, you know, Tony Hawk.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25

They were quick to review that game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Yeah, and I also just think it's on a different level, right? Hades 2 comes out, you experience it, you put 30 hours, 40 hours in and go, this feels reviewable in its state where the main things that were missing was... you know, some art that isn't fully there. You might talk to somebody that has temp art pop up, whatever, but so much of it felt like it was ready to rock.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
And it could have been ready to rock. I do think this is a different level of development. I think you hop in here. I wouldn't be surprised if this didn't get any review scores.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
I don't feel like it'll hit 1.0 this year. That's me just, you know, after playing the game and kind of feeling it out. Yeah, that's where I'm at right now. But I had a good time with it.

Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Having to be really responsible with all the files and file structures and folders. I'm having to really turn it on. It's not something I'm used to. I'm a pretty messy dude. Let me get some folders down. Let me name everything correctly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
The difference is that the program I was using last time for the Game Boy Advance sort of ROM thing, Hex Maniac Advance, was a lot easier, and now I have a bunch of different programs with folder structures that I need to know where everything goes, and it's a whole thing, right? Like, if you see the main character in Pokemon SoulSilver, You're not just replacing one instance of him or her.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
They're kind of everywhere in a bunch of different spots. You have to kind of understand and know, all right, I replaced this sprite because it's in this folder. Okay. But that same sprite also exists in this other folder. Even though they're kind of identical, it still needs to be kind of put into the right spot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
It was a weird vibe. Honestly, I wish it stayed down for a while. A couple of days. Because I was already drafting up a tweet that said, Mike, you know what? I'm kind of in the mood to check out TikTok. Send me all those videos you've been sending me for the last three years that I've been ignoring the whole time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, just, you know, PR stunt for sure. Absolutely.

With ByteDance, you know, ByteDance being, I think... Imran Khan had a great post on Blue Sky the other day that was like, hey, it's kind of on us, on journalists, and I get it. But when we noticed that ByteDance, we didn't really ask ourselves, what else does ByteDance own? It's like, oh, Marvel Snap is one of the things under their umbrella, along with the app TikTok. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
But yeah, just a weird kind of weekend. Didn't make a whole lot of sense with what was going on. It felt like it was going to go down for a while. And you're right, I hadn't really opened TikTok in a while, but when it did come back up, suddenly my whole For You page is a bunch of people going, well, it's been a great time seeing y'all.

How much money did you spend buying that game for everybody?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Just a weird, awkward thing, along with CapCut, like some people in our chat are mentioning CapCut as somebody, another app that is in the ByteDance umbrella. But yeah, Marvel Snap going down was not something that I kind of assumed would happen, because I just kind of didn't really think that they were underneath ByteDance. So when that goes down, that was like, whoa, this as well?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marvel Snap Gets Caught in The TikTok Ban - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.20.25
Like, I understand... And I think it's I don't know if ByteDance was even forced to do any of that. I don't think they were. I think it all just is sort of publicity and them them taking down Marvel Snap. I guess they were like, well, we have to make this look real. So we have to take down everything else that, you know, we sort of run. Very awkward, very weird, obviously very staged.

Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
The one phrase a lot of people have said over the weekend is sore loser, which I just personally find funny because they did win two awards. So it's like more so sore winner in a way. I think the thing that, you know, I have a very specific opinion about this and I'm not going to get into that, but I think.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Just looking at the reaction towards this this weekend, I think between the crying at the awards show, yes, a lot of this can be interpreted maybe in a more sarcastic tone, all of this stuff. We don't fully know what the intent behind some of these phrases were. But I think there's an underlying sentiment from the response, which felt very, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
And I don't know if this is what they meant by this, but it comes across as we made this game to get these awards and less so we wanted to make this game. And I think that is what's kind of rubbing people the wrong way in the reaction. Again, like you guys have said, machine translation, text doesn't equate to intent and context and all that stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Yeah, I'm 10 hours in like I couldn't stop playing yesterday. Like once I sat down, I'm a little bit past the Egypt section. And yeah, I definitely see the criticisms. And I think if this was you made a great point when we were texting over the weekend, bless like.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
if this was any other ip if this wasn't indiana jones i think i would be a bit harder on it and i think that's purely because of in terms of like uh immersive uh sim kind of gameplay and level design if this was a dishonored game i would definitely be a little bit like let down by it in terms of level design and gameplay right but i think the kind of more um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
not basic, but more like kind of like watered down version of level design compared to an arcane game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
And the kind of like goofy, but simple stealth and action fit the tone of Indiana Jones so well that plus the archeology, uh, stuff of like you solving puzzles and, uh, you know, getting past trials or just like finding random shit in the world and like having that moment where Indy kind of puts together of like, Oh, this is,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
This is important because of this and like him just like kind of finding things. I think it all kind of works very well. It reminds me of Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. where it's taking inspirations from kind of a few different genres and mixing it all together to make something that feels inherently, I think, genuine to the franchise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I do think in terms of story, the immersive sim style of gameplay where you're getting into these open zones and kind of slowing down because it's so stealth-heavy and stuff, I do think that makes for... An interesting, like, story pace, for sure. But I don't care, because I'm just, like, enjoying, like, going into, like, Nazi camps and, like, fucking taking them all out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
And then if I get caught, I get into, like, a goofy fight, which feels genuinely Indiana, because a lot of the action there is goofy and silly and kind of basic. I'm really digging the story. The villain this time around, I think, is really fascinating. And, like, shout out to Troy. Like, I can hear the Troyisms every once in a while, but that man...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
Sorry, just because I had this thought last night where there was another member. I was like, damn, he's so good. It's just – I hope Lucasfilm takes away from this of their television and movie stuff. Maybe you can recast people instead of – I mean they did it with another Harrison Ford character.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
But so far, I just wanted to give a score so far. I would give this an 8. I think this is a great game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
I do think they could have benefited from kind of changing up the level design for some of the things. Like, going from the Vatican, which is kind of open zone, to Egypt, or Giza, which is also, like, open zone. And then not every level or area is like that. I think it would have benefited, at least in story pace-wise, if, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

The Vatican maybe was a bit more linear, and then you get to Egypt, and then it's this kind of big exploration thing. And that's something like even to a lesser extent, but like Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us Part II do, where there are certain sections where it's like, all right, here's an area where we can kind of explore and get lost, and now we're going to do a bunch of linear things.

They can't make you a superhero. People were asking if the side quest stuff you were talking about, if it feels like cut main content or good enough to be main content. I don't Definitely see where you're coming from with that. Because there's, like... One of the side quests in the Vatican was how... Was the... At the end of that side quest was the first time the Great Circle was said.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
And it's a moment in the trailer. And I did find that fascinating. But to me, it was cool because that side quest also, like, gave a little bit more of a hinting of a certain character that you meet early on in the Vatican. And that pays off later. And so... I don't know. It's interesting. I feel like it's additive.

To not, like, get too into, like, spoiler stuff, because, like, all of the story of both of these games is kind of, like, the mechanics of the game as well, of, like, putting names and story events together. I prefer... case in terms of it's more linear storytelling, whereas like rise, you're kind of jumping from place to place.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Great, Actually - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.09.24
And it's like hard to kind of connect of like a grander story until for me, it was like the last two chapters where it all did come together at the end. I was like really satisfied with it, but I loved the kind of like sticking with like three characters throughout the entirety of case and like seeing it build and the gaps are just You know, you filling in the blanks between scene and scene.

Also, if you, you know, you don't have to read it live on air, Greg, but I encourage people to go look at the wiki for Wikipedia for Valnet. Just read that first paragraph under their history.

And for a lot of people, especially people who are writers, not personalities, which are two very different fields, they don't really have that option. They don't have that same following, people who do good investigative work, who might have articles that got millions and millions of clicks, don't have... not even like 1,000 followers on Blue Sky or something like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
But it is also affordability as well, whereas the console market is still way more affordable than the PC market that a lot of these kids really want to get into of more higher end PCs that can play games.
