Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Today in the nerdy news you need to know about, The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered is out now and costs $50. Blessing is hanging out with Hideo Kojima. And what time can you pre-order Switch 2 at the retailer of your choice? We'll evolve this and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily.

Again, as somebody who has no sight unseen on this, when they were talking about it in the presentation today, one of the guys said it was really the music, and they went back and forth to that song a few times, and I was like, damn, that is a song. I was hyped at the end when they did the whole thing. It sucks, again, as Wesley says, the worst kept secret in gaming. We all knew this was coming.

Jeff Grubb just can't shut his mouth. He can't let people have a nice thing. So you felt for the end of the video when the guy is like, I'm so excited that I get to tell you it's available today. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
You got to make the ham.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I mean, my knee jerk would be, I think that. Well, I think they just want to make money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
But I think with Fallout 3 remastered in the chamber, you probably want to try to time that out around the show when season two of that launches, and they're filming that now, right? So that's probably next year, I would think, of, hey, let's get that out, see if we can ride the success of that.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Joshua Mitchell super chats in and says, any worry of this overshadowing Expedition 33 or is both being on Game Pass mean it'll have a chance to shine?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
We're painting with a very broad brush, you know what I mean, in terms of who we're talking about. Matt Piscitello wants to break through the wall right now and tell you a whole bunch of stats about it. My take on this is it cuts both ways. Where I think you can look at it as overshadowing Claire, obscure Expedition 33, if that delivers the experience we all think it's going to deliver.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
But in the same breath, I do think they're very different. But I'm part of that breath where it's like, I'm not a turn-based guy. I like the demo I did of Expedition 33. I'm excited to see if that'll hook me and keep me going. But now Oblivion goes to the top of the pile because I know I love that kind of game. I know how... Many people love this game. I'm hoping it connects.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I'm hoping I lock in, but it could also be that I jump in and even though old game is new, old game is new, but still has old systems. And I'm like, ah, this, I, why don't I just go play Starfield, which is always something that happens to me. Why don't I just play, go, I've been tinkering a long time ago, but going back to Starfield or Skyrim.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Then, of course, we're doing the ESO show, which we want to stream when we're done with the four episodes. I've gone in and made a character. I've tinkered. I enjoy what I'm playing there. Why don't I go do that? There's a lot that could go wrong on this and send you off of that, right? The...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Other side to it, on the positive side, is I think that Expedition 33 is a game that, again, knock on wood, delivers. We all liked what we previewed. It delivers that in a review sense. And, again, the people who listen to shows like this and consume games like we consume them either jump right on it or know to do it or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
The other hope would be, as Xbox is always trying to do with this Game Pass thing, is They want a big game to bring you in to get it right now, and then before you cancel your subscription, you look around, and you go, oh, this Expedition game came out, and I saw that it got great reviews. Oh, South of Midnight's on here. I remember a lot of people liking that. Oh, I never did Avowed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Like, they want a library surrounding this, I think, that when you come in for the big thing, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Oblivion bringing you back I know it won't be a astronomical number but Oblivion getting remastered dropping today getting headlines is going to catch the eye of people who have lapsed in games who haven't played since Oblivion or haven't done whatever or have a soft spot for that game and it will make them go oh but I can get what is Xbox Game Pass oh oh okay and then you're in and you do want to try these other things maybe
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
There's never enough time in anybody's day to play all the games you want to play. But in the long run, I don't know if the Oblivion conversation is going to be so long tail that it just runs ruckshot over Expedition 33. My hope would be that game delivers. So you have this big jump today. Barrett, when is Expedition 33 out? It's imminent. Is it 26th?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
So the 25th.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
So I don't want to, I don't think the oblivion press coverage conversation runs over that. I hope that they dovetail again, if it's good. And then it would be the continuation of like, what a week for Xbox Game Pass Thursday, the 24th. Thank you. What a week for Xbox Game Pass. Bear, go ahead.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Again, as somebody who hasn't played it, I'm a different case. But for people who remember it so fondly, like one of the guys in the video said he played 10,000 hours of it, granted he's making the game. But I really do see that could easily be a lot of people are going to jump back into Game Pass to try it, to play it. But I don't know. Are they going to have...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Are they going to roll credits on it? Are they going to play another 100 hours of it? Or is it going to be you jump back in, you get that comfort food, it looks so good, I'm backing it, and then hopefully, again, something like this surfaces, and you go, oh, that sounds great. I'll jump over there and play it. We'll have to wait and see. We got lots of questions in here about Oblivion.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Phil Shue writes in, super chatting, and says, hey, Greg and Mike, I managed to grab Oblivion and Fantasy Critic, and one of my competitors, Tavin, is debating whether it's legitimate. We do not allow remasters, but allow partial and full remakes. I'd love to hear your opinions. We, of course, have this. As you all know, Roger Picorni is cheating. He has it there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Yeah, yeah. You know, Roger's cheating. Wow, okay. My take on this to actually answer the question here from Phil Shue is to remind you that none of this matters and it's for fun. Who knows?

You say justify you paying for it. Let's talk more about your dollars and cents. Over in the super chats, Colin Barry writes in and says, is the price tag surprising for Oblivion, especially if you can only get it with Game Pass Ultimate, which so far I'm still confused if it's available for PC Game Pass. I don't understand the confusion, and I also... Game Pass Ultimate...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Is there a difference between Game Pass PC and Game Pass Ultimate?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I have Game Pass Ultimate. It's over on PC. That helps the conversation. I don't know if it does.

Calvin Perez says, is Xbox the king of shadow drops? Other than their inability to keep them secret, probably, right? I feel like... I think that's what's interesting about it. I mean, Hi-Fi Rush was a well-kept secret. Exactly. Yeah. In the lead-up to this one, and then the rumor going from they're working on it to, oh, it's going to be a shadow drop, you know what I mean?

I am being screwed. I am being shortchanged once again. As your stars in the bank holder. Yes. As everyone knows, I was awarded this stars in the bank briefcase because of my acumen at kind of funny game showdown.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
And when I was bequeathed it, The rules were simple. I could cash it in at a moment of my choosing to challenge Tim Geddes for one of his stars. Then, of course, I was so good this season, it became two stars. Then, of course, I was so great this season, it became three stars, thanks to Carl Jacobs. Thank you, Carl. And so I made a very honest, a very sane, a very kind decision Move.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
And I told them I wanted to cash in on the Switch 2 reveal day. During the stream. We'd have the most eyes on us.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Cut your own mic. Then they all went to New York. None of them were here for me to challenge with the briefcase. And I sold you t-shirts. I'm so sorry I put dates on them. You know what I mean? I just didn't know the dates were going to... I didn't know the date was going to be a bad date. Again, bad faith, but continue. Cut your own mic. And so then it was like, okay, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I can still cash in whenever I want to. Then Friday, a little show called Kind of Funny Game Showdown goes down. Hey, now. I fucking win. Yeah, you did. You know what I mean? That's a spoiler. But it's also, you know how it's going to go.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

That was a long weekend. Yeah. The show starts, and Blessing reveals that the next episode of Kind of Funny Game Showdown is the season finale. Hmm. And he says it's not next week, it's the week after. So I'm like, okay, cool. I got two weeks to cash in. Two weeks? I got two weeks to cash in stars in the bank whenever I want to. Then he goes to Japan? Uh-oh.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
According to Dan Reichert, he's going to be gone all week? So that's one week off the board. Cut seven days off that. So now, even if I wanted to go challenge Tim the Sluggettys, I couldn't do it right now because there's no one here to ask the goddamn questions.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I'm in such a weird place with Death Stranding 2 where I really enjoy Death Stranding 1. Even at launch, I talked about it being meditative. I enjoy it. But like... I was also very gung-ho on the review. I'm going to try to go back for the Platinum. But it was one of those games that once I left and I tried to come back one weekend, I was like, oh, wait, how do I do this? What do I do?

So I expect, as we get closer, me to be there. Get on the other side of SGF. Get on the other side of the Switch 2. And then sit there and be like, okay, cool. I'm having a lot of fun playing Mario Kart, but I want to get weird.

And we have specific instructions on how to use it. All right. Uh, number three on the Roper report, uh, steel seed is out or the review embargoes up. Uh, we have a quick little review roundup. I, you might say what's to steal seed. It says espionage game that I thought looked cool based on a trailer. So I kind of been keeping my ear to the ground on it. Right now on Metacritic, it's a 65.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
IGN's Jarrett Green gave it a 5 out of 10, which of course ain't great. Steel Scene is cursed by mediocrity. Its combat is a low point, so abrasive that I'd rather restart whole areas when I got caught, rather than have to navigate its jank.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
But its real problem is that everything else, from the bland characters and predictable story, to the forgettable locations that the tale takes you through, to the initially fun stealth sections that eventually wear thin, will lose the fight for a spot in my memory as soon as I'm done with this review. That's a real shame because there are a handful of shiny chrome moments to find here.

Just log into Twitch, Google it, sync it up, give it to us, and then come back every 30 days because it does not auto-renew because they want you to forget about this benefit. I digress.

A handful of shiny chrome moments to find here, but they are buried under a whole lot of rust. So a bummer. You know, I like cheering for the little games. I see someone come around. I'm like, oh, that sounds really cool. And then I look at this thing. Oh, that sucks. That didn't turn out. But mainly it's for me because I downloaded it already. So I'm happy I didn't sink any time into it. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25

Your fifth story, the Wii News. IGN reports that the first season of Fallout is getting a 4K steelbook and pre-orders are up today. Also on IGN, they're talking about the accessibility features of Days Gone Remastered. It'll let you slow down the game speed, among other things. That's cool.

Madden's release date has leaked, apparently, via Bill Bill Coon. VGC is reporting that EA Sports Madden NFL 26 will be released on August 14th, the same week as the NFL preseason start, and a couple weeks before the main season on September 4th. Nice. That's good.

Additionally, at the end of each round of the event, title rewards will be distributed to the top 500, top 100, and top 10 players for each hero on the final leaderboard. The first round of Giant Size Brain Blast begins April 25th, with round two kicking off on May 2nd. I'm confused.

This launches on 2006. I am working at the Columbia Daily Tribune. I have a video game column called Game Over. I have a 360. Okay. For some reason, the way it was sold, the way it was talked about, the number, I don't know. I can't go back and tell you. Totally, I never... Never thought about it. I started IGN in 2007. I'm on the PlayStation team. Okay. So it comes to PlayStation that year.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I still don't trust you there. I just knew the horse armor joke. I don't know if it was something if I was so young and naive and video games were very different back then. Yeah. I think maybe I kind of associated this with WoW to a degree. Not that I thought it was WoW, but I put it in that class of PC gamer. I'm like, I'm never going to play that. That's not who I am or whatever.

Man, I wish past me wasn't an idiot. I read EGM and IGN and GameSpot religiously. I don't know why I was skipping articles about Oblivion or whatever, where I was just like, oh, this doesn't sound like me. Maybe I didn't know an RPG at the time was a different thing.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great. But you, of course, were a big Oblivion fan.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25

I think that brings in our first super chat of what I imagine is going to be a long topic one. It comes from BF who says, calling this quote unquote remaster is underselling it. This is more than just upscaling graphics and bumping up to frame rate. Why not call it a remake? Snowbike Mike.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
What's interesting, I think, is the presentation, we talked about it from Wesley in Poole's report, and they call it a gameplay video, which of course is true, and you're watching it right now. There was a long...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
basically SGF-style presentation, what you'd expect, where it is the devs talking about this and them talking to Bethesda Game Studios, talking to Virtuos about what this means to them and what they've done and yada, yada, yada.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25

So, like, let's have this conversation again in three years when we see what their next Labo has been, what games have used mouse controls, what they are doing with all the goofy little tech they talk about that I don't care anything about. Nintendo is still making the weird Nintendo decisions, I think, in the Switch 2, but also just not throwing the baby out of the bathwater.

They don't need to restart and go from, alright, cool, Switch 1 was a success, we need to do everything all over again. We can still be that machine, we can still have third-party stuff in there for the people who want that, or just want, as we all know, their real games on the go. But Nintendo's... Bread and butter is being Nintendo first party.

And so they're still going to do that, and I do expect those games to use these things and make the WNDs and lead to the next Labo, which you've seen people do cool stuff with. Sure, but we didn't see Labo sell. We didn't see Labo become this runaway success thing. You still got your Amiibo reader in there, so that opens up the door to some weird-ass shit they want to do with that. Fine, whatever.

If I was to say there were negative comments, which there really weren't, but they would be people just saying, release Oblivion now, Oblivion remake.

Yeah, 100%. You're not wrong. I struggle with this one because it is so easy to just double back to exactly what we were saying about Concord. I don't think this looks... And Concord had a vibe, right? But I don't think this looks as derivative as Concord did. And I'm not shitting on Concord. I just felt like we all looked at Concord and were like, oh, Guardians. It's another hero shooter.

This has a vibe to it that's different. I don't know if that vibe will speak to people and make them go play and make them pay $40 for it, right? Of course, throughout the internet, there was a bunch of creators that got to go play this, like we said, Paris. The one that spoke to me was SkillUp.

Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
SkillUp's Blue Sky reads, Bungie's marathon shows great promise, but it's still missing something at the very core of its extraction game pay loop, making it difficult to predict how Marathon will launch or where it might one day end up. Of course, Mesquilip has hands-on impressions up on the YouTube. You know, IGN has a write-up from Travis Northup that's a bit, you know, not...

More glowing, I guess, but a bit more positive, right? But it does at the end come down to the same things we're going to talk about, right? Another question is how much support and longevity can we expect from Marathon? Bungie has earned its reputation for mastering the live service model over the past decade of Destiny and shows no signs of letting players down here.

Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
As they told me, they already have plans to support Marathon with new maps, weapons, characters, and more as they develop it. But as always, there's the question of whether they'll do so at a fast enough pace to appease ever-ravenous players.

And importantly, Marathon also plans to use the seasonal reset model found in the likes of Diablo 4, where you'll be stripped of your loot and progress at the end of each season to do so again with new content and a new meta to mix things up.

While I could definitely see this working for Marathon, there's a question of how they'll manage to incentivize making that arduous climb from scratch each season. After playing enough Marathon to get a pretty good feel for it in its alpha state, I'm already fairly confident it'll scratch the Bungie PvP itch that's been left unscratched for a number of years now.

Yeah. To this question about, you know, it's going to be compared to Concord rather than Helldivers 2, I think, again, we're talking about, to a degree, apples and oranges, where Helldivers 2, of course, they don't own Arrowhead. They own the IP.

But, again, back to what is a success for any of these companies, the number they wanted to hit with Helldivers 2, I'm sure, is far smaller than what they wanted to hit with Concord and what they want to hit with Marathon. They call Concord a new Star Wars. Bungie is a studio that they bought for all this live service initiative, their expertise. That fruit has not been borne for that.

I don't think it's a Concord level of, hey, we're going to take this back to square. And I was like, you guys are dead. And then they were dead a month or two later, three months later.

Street Shadow writes in and says, free-to-play is a pro and a con with extraction shooters. Cheaters are more likely in free-to-play, but Tarkov is the biggest extraction shooter, and it's not free-to-play.

You know what I mean? Yeah. And it's funny because the briefcase, of course, had my underwear in it an hour before I went there. Exactly. You know what I mean? Because I had to pack in the bag and put the whole thing in there. So it was nice to see the briefcase get some love. Yeah. Okay?

And then I had a kind of funny friendship bracelet. I forget who gave it to me. I apologize. I wore it. It was meet and greet. Got it. Wore it. Worn on stage. Came off stage at the end in the green room. Ben saw it, and he's like, can I wear it? I'm like, of course, Ben. He put it on, immediately broke it. Everywhere. Pieces everywhere.

In the infamous marathon ship that started it all, decades after the original marathon trilogy, the Bungie development team is ready to dive back into the world of Tau Senti 4 in their upcoming team-based extraction shooter, Marathon.

In Marathon, players work together in crews of three to scavenge the remnants of the lost colony of Tau Senti-4, if I have to say Tau Senti-4 one more fucking time, in their search for the powerful weapons and equipment left behind. They'll face AI security forces, otherworldly threats, and rival runner teams competing for loot. Death is part of the journey.

It's a cutthroat world, and it's not possible to survive every expedition. But every time you make it out alive, you get to keep everything you scavenged, which means you'll grow in power and fill your vault across matches. You're only ever one run away from your next big score.

Let's bring that into the conversation. Number two on the Roper Report goes, Marathon's director explains why it isn't free-to-play. Quote, everyone has their own definition of what's the right price. This is the one, the only, the big man, Jordan Midler of VGC. And I mean that literally, he's huge. Marathon's director has explained the decision behind the game not being free to play.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
Developed by Bungie, Marathon is an extraction shooter. The game sees players form a crew of three to battle up to 18 other players in each zone. Over the weekend, Bungie debuted the first gameplay from the game, as well as the release date and closed alpha plans. Bungie also confirmed that the game will be a quote-unquote premium product, though the studio has yet to confirm the price.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Now, speaking on the Friends Per Second podcast, director Joe Ziegler has explained why Bungie's Marathon won't launch as a free-to-play title.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
Quote, "...we are hoping that what we are showing is exciting enough that someone is going to take the leap with us, but we are also committed to delivering on seasons past this that will continuously offer to evolve the game without an increase to the box price," he said.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
What we're hoping everyone understands about the game is that we're focused on committing to making this a game that's really awesome. And we think that starting point is really strong at this current time. Everyone's got their own definition of what is the right price, end quote. It was reported last year that Bungie and Sony are reportedly considering a $40 price tag for Marathon.

And his name is Matt Piscitella from Sir Connor. I did not reach out to Matt. I could have done that. I should have done that. But instead, he blue-skied. And so we can just read that. Matt says, there are two things you need to have to reach the biggest console launch in history of whatever. Demand, but you also need the units to sell.

Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
Having the biggest console launch ever would be cool, sure, but it'd primarily be a reflection on production. Can't read more into it than that, really. Real test comes in year two, when the price insensitive enthusiasts are satiated and units have to start selling to mass market. All the dynamics change. Great starts don't guarantee great finishes and vice versa, etc., etc.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I was thinking about this last night, actually, of like... how strange video games are game to game. And this is even from my own perspective. But it was that thing of like, okay, after today's Monster Hunter stream, I think I'm going to have kick the junk from my system. Where I'll be like, cool.

And I'm like, I'm going to go to Oblivion because we're doing an Oblivion review so far next week. I want to get back to that. I've played here and there since then. But then it was that idea of like, I was like, I wonder how many hours I'm actually going to sink into Oblivion.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
And then I was thinking about like, if you were there and actually take and do the math of an open world Bethesda RPG game, How much time is me just walking to the next thing versus when you're playing... I was thinking of Ben playing Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze on his Switch, where it is there's always... You're constantly doing something, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
But when Ben looks at me playing in Oblivion, which he hasn't, but if he was to, I think he's seen me play Starfield, right? Me just running across the planet. Me just running out into Tamriel, right? And it's like, yeah, okay, I fight a wolf or whatever, but I'm not on to the next thing immediately. Like, you are in that kind of game. And how that, you know...

Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
And so it's interesting. We've had a couple different Super Chats and regular chats come in. One of them came from Jakubra, I believe, over on Twitch, who said peer pressure is how you get them into playing other stuff, which on one hand is true, but on the other hand I think is completely false because I always go back to when Jack Poe's son, 10-year-old, was here last summer, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
and we were playing Fortnite with him, and we kept trying to get him to play Helldivers, Helldivers, and they finally started playing Helldivers and loved Helldivers. And he streamed Helldivers with us all week, and on that final day, Kevin was like, so you're going to play this with your friends when you get home? And he goes, oh no, they'll never play this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
And it was that idea of like, he can't peer pressure his friends. I I was on Twitch all week long in front of thousands of people playing this game and had a great time, and it's funny, and it's this, and it's that, but I can't convince you, I guess, to buy it, to play it, to break away from Fortnite.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
And it's the same thing for Jumps004 in the live chat on YouTube said a story that I'll butcher, I'm sure, but I think it was that his nephew is playing, he saw his friends playing, his nephew is obsessed with a JRPG and Roblox, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't get him to play a real JRPG. Like, he just won't touch it. He just wants to play this one in Roblox.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Yeah, I think Mario is a great one. I do think, again, Ben loves all Mario games, and we've gone through all of them, and he wants to go back to 64 some days, and some days he wants to play Wonder. He knows what that is and likes that.

So let me bring in a question or a statement here from the chat, which is Fox to the future, who says there's no way this will be DOA. People still play skate three online to this day.

I also am of the belief that Where we get into trouble with, will this be DOA? Will it not? Blah, blah, blah. Is EA. What is EA expecting out of this? What does EA need out of this? What does even the developer full circle need for this to be a success? I look at that, and that excites me. I like Skate. I've missed Skate.

Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
Counter to that would be two examples of, I think, that do it well so far and that don't do it well. Number one being Monster Hunter, where you know how much I love Monster Hunter and how much I've played Monster Hunter vanilla. And here's this Blossom Festival with new shit to go earn and new stuff to do. And they've already put in more monsters and they're putting in more monsters.

I'm going to put Monster Hunter down, like I was saying, right after our stream today until there's the next big update I want to come back to because that's exciting for me, right? I like being able to come back to a world I'm invested in. My counter. So like that's right there of like why I wouldn't want it just to be, hey, here's the package skate and it's done.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
I'd rather have a reason to come skate over and over again. My other example of doing it wrong, I think, is Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing was the biggest fucking thing in the world. Had a tiger by a tail. We all love that. I love that so much. We majority of us all loved it so much. Right. Played the fucking shit out of it. Was it checking in every day?
