It was in between both of them. It was, like, Battlefield and Call of Duty were coming out, I think, two to three weeks in between each other, maybe a month, and Titanfall 2 was right in the middle of both of them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Lays Off Hundreds, Cancels Titanfall Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.30.25
It was, like... Not only was it idiotic for EA to have, like, to release two multiplayer shooter games within a month of each other, but then to do it right before Call of Duty launched, like... I think that's really what didn't bring people in. Everybody else was distracted by the two juggernauts that year. Less so because there was a single player.

Really quick, I think the conversation you were thinking about earlier, Greg, was when we were talking about it being always online and all that stuff, and you talking about the idea of coming in and doing dailies and stuff and that being enticing, and my trepidation is wanting to come back with a new skate, wanting to come back to it years down the line, and it

Thank you, Bless. You're very brave. Thank you.

bullshit i don't know if that's how herman sees it who knows like that's it you know again we'd have to have him in a very open conversation to get that answer out of him but i would be like cool you you want me to have eyes on the studios we're not thrilled with the output of playstation first party i don't need to be in these meetings also about the business development whatever the fuck part of sie yeah do you think does this change anything like i guess on the audit like do you think this is something that we
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
We can make up whatever we want. You know what I mean? We can figure it out. What if I wait and it is in the middle of a Nintendo Direct?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
I would say no. I think the only way, and I specifically mean in a way we can see. In a way somebody could tell us, yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
You could see what you're saying, and it is that Neil Druckmann, Intergalactic, we're talking about this, and he's like, yeah, last year when Herman had some of his responsibilities removed so he could focus on being first party, he's been so much more hands-on, and this has helped in X, Y, and Z, da-da-da-da-da.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
But I doubt you'd get that level of transparency from PlayStation, nor is that really what's going to happen? Maybe it is. Maybe it's not. I don't know. The way I would say you see something from this would be that if it is six months or a year, Herman is really demoted, is replaced, is something like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
right what if i do what if i do in the middle of the switch to reveal and so then the only thing he can do is like i gotta end this as quick as possible to get back to the switch to reveal you win greg you know what i mean god would you sacrifice that piece of content a thousand percent i don't think you know i will burn i will raise every field i will burn every crop i will do whatever because he's mad man this is my season is because it'll still be headlined
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
Then I could see it being that, okay, this was the canary in the coal mine that they weren't happy with his performance. This was like the first step of it. Right. But even then, I doubt that's what it is because... to go back to Herman and toss all this in, the live service push and the failure of it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
I place that not solely, obviously, there's a million different leaders and stuff, but majority on Jim Ryan. That's a decision that was made during Jim Ryan's tenure, right? And it's carried over. And again, we're talking to Shuhei, right? And how him being put over to Indies and this, that, the other.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
It's what we're talking about with the studios of, hey, you have somebody telling you this is what we think our future is. You're going to go make those kind of games. And we're talking about Herman Hulse, the guy who did... all these kill zones, uh, horizon. And we're like, we think he went in and he's like, everything needs to be live service. I'm like, I don't buy that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
I buy, I buy that Herman is very much like probably the entire time in those meetings be like, yep. And we can, we can do the live service and we should have the story based games that everybody loves for us. But yeah,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
I don't put it solely on Herman. I don't know. Again, this is such a weird question because that's so inside baseball in terms of who's doing what over there and making it. I think, again, the vision of PlayStation is part of that. Again, if the vision of PlayStation from on high is we need more live service things, and we're in that position. For some reason, you and me are co-Hermans.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
We're co-Hermans, all right? So Jim Ryan comes to us and he's like, we need to fucking crush live service. And we go, sure. And he's like, maybe we should acquire somebody. Yeah, we're going to look at Bungie. Yeah, Bungie could be a great one. Destiny 2. You don't know, underneath the rock, all the toxic shit and everything else going over there and the mismanagement.

I'm adding this, yeah, live from the chat and, of course, Barrett being on the ones and twos. Do you want to tell me about it? Sure, everybody. Breaking news. Mass Effect 5. I cut off some part of this. Mass Effect 5. BioWare doesn't require support from the full studio. EA moves some staff over to other teams. This is RebeccaValentine at IGN.com.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
EA has announced it is restructuring Dragon Age and Mass Effect Studio BioWare, moving a number of developers onto other projects within EA and focusing entirely on its upcoming Mass Effect game going forward. In a blog post from General Manager Gary McKay, he wrote that the studio is, quote, taking this opportunity between full development cycles to reimagine how we work at BioWare, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
Quote, given this stage of development, we don't require support from the full studio. We have incredible talent here at BioWare, and so we have worked diligently over the past few months to match many of our colleagues with other teams at EA that had open roles that were a strong fit, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
IGN understands that EA has already placed an unknown number of developers from BioWare into other equivalent roles within the company. A smaller number of Dragon Age team members are also seeing their roles terminated and are being offered time to apply to other roles within the company if they so choose. BioWare's structure has shifted repeatedly in recent years.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
The studio had a round of layoffs in 2023 and has seen a number of high-profile departures throughout the development of Dragon Age The Veil Guard, the most recent of which was Corinne Bush announcing her departure from the studio last week. It is unclear how many individuals work at BioWare today.

I want to see Mario. No better way to make a new kind of funny best friend than to show them the absurdity we do. If they think we're just buttoned up, news all the time, they don't know about Ronald. But I think the problem then becomes, like, there's a new Mario.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
IGN asked EA for any comment or specifics on how many individuals at BioWare are being impacted by this change, how many are facing potential layoffs, and how many will remain in the studio. EA did not provide the specifics, but a spokesperson offered the following statement. Quote, the studio's priority was Dragon Age.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
During this time, there were people continuing to build the new vision for the next Mass Effect. Now that Veil Guard has shipped, the studio's full focus is Mass Effect. While we're not sharing numbers, the studio has the right number of people, Jesus Christ, and the right roles to work on Mass Effect at this stage of development, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
The new Mass Effect in question was announced four years ago and is still in the early stages of development. IGN understands that BioWare's current strategy is to prioritize one game at a time as some developers who had been working on Mass Effect were previously moved to Dragon Age to get the project over the finish line and are now moving back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
Per the blog post, Mass Effect development is now being led by series veterans, including Mike Gamble, Preston Watamanuku, Derek Watts, and Parrish Lay.

This news comes a week after EA announced that Dragon Age, the Veil Guard, missed its player targets by nearly 50% and reduced its guidance for the fiscal year due to this and, more impactfully, weaker than expected results from College Football 25. That's not correct, though, right? That's got to be a typo on breaking news. More importantly, EAFC. EAFC was the one that missed it.

BioWare, BioWare, BioWare. What a fucking heartbreaking story of just EA not being able to get out of their own fucking way. Just let BioWare be BioWare, right? Why did we get in there and tinker with everything and change everything? And again, the push to Anthem and let's do a live service and a battle pass. It's like, fucking make RPGs. Just make story-based single-player RPGs.

What the fuck are you doing? And Dragon Age The Veil Guard. A game I loved, a game Andy loved, a game some people love, a game a lot of people hate, all these different things. The number one knock I see from Dragon Age, well, that's not true, but from Dragon Age of Elgar haters that I want to listen to is the fact that it wasn't Dragon Age.

PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
this isn't what the series has been and if somebody who didn't connect to the series before veil guard i was like great that's awesome for me but i totally get this not being what you want as a dragon age fan right and to sit there and be like well this is dragon is the veil guard a game they salvaged well it was supposed to be this multiplayer game right that was all these things and then morphed into this we're lucky we got it as good as we got and again what i think of it births what everybody else whatever but like come on you know what i mean like

And that's the good thing, too, is not only does it punish Tim, it punishes you. And it really encourages you as the host to finish this as soon as possible. That's true. And so I think, honestly, what you do is go, Tim, you can just forfeit the star right now if you want. That way, he just gives it up and the content goes fine. That would be my thing. You see...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
What a cautionary tale, but it's not... But, like, fucking Mass Effect? The Mass Effect guys. Remember when Mass Effect was, like, the biggest thing in the fucking world? Casey Hudson was a goddamn rock star walking around talking about this thing. Like... Do you think we get... They made N7 Day.

I am not the numbers guy. I was always bad at predicting NPD. I was always bad at predicting yadda yadda yadda. Do you think? Because the one thing that's lost in, oh, Dragon Age, you know, met half of what EA's expectations were. Is it? And I haven't been on the conference. I've never been on these conversations on Games Daily because I've been doing other stuff. Is it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
reasonable that EA expected 3 million players in 2 months for Dragon Age? Because Dragon Age was never the most giant franchise, right? Like, it was never Mass Effect. Mass Effect had this huge player base. Dragon Age didn't, and that was because of varying quality of the games. A lot of no's and there are a few yes's. Like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
I just feel like one of the things that's getting lost in this conversation and even in today's restructuring is the fact that I don't think EA knows what they fucking have. Because, again, I'm not saying that, oh, they have something huge with Veilguard. I'm saying I don't think Veilguard was ever going to be a, oh, man, $3 million in two months.

Because I think this is going to give you... This is Avowed based on the previews, based on the videos they've put out, right? Yeah. and this is just strictly, I do not have code, I wish I fucking did, but Avowed, based on what they've shown and how they talk about it, is going to do what fucking Veilguard didn't let you do, which is like, do you want to be a dick? Do you want to be evil?

the ideas of Baldur's Gate, even though I don't like the gameplay, but like the fact of, Oh, I could just kill this person and never see them again. Like, that's what I wanted from Starfield. What I wanted from Veil Guard, right? You don't get that with your party. Whereas I think, I think about is going to be that nerdy person's RPG.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
I think it's going to be the first week where, excuse me. There's so, there were so many expectations for veil guard from dragon age fans and it didn't live up to that. Right. I think there's,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
some expectation on avowed because of obsidian and like that what but i think it's going to live up to what an obsidian rpg is going to be and i think the time it's hitting right now where we're all very hungry for new games right i think it's going to hit at the right time it's going to be on game pass it's going to be hopefully knock on glass great and i think it's going to be so much buzz from nerdy ass rpg people like me that love western rpgs that it'll get other people like i got game pass why not boot it up yeah

PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
I think... We also glossed over this. It was at the top of the conversation about what this means for Mass Effect. Like, them... Slimming down the studio and they're focusing on one game. Again, I think it's not a great look for Bioware after all the years they've had and all the trouble they've had to get to where they are now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
But I do understand of like, we don't need the Dragon Age people for where Mass Effect is. But it's like, What does this mean? What are our hopes for Mass Effect? Do we expect Mass Effect to be great? Back to the Ship of Theseus. Are the people who do... Is EA staying out of the way? All the tumultuous leadership changes over there? What are we really going to get with the next Mass Effect?

Let's turn it back to yesterday's conversation and throughout the week's conversation about Phil Spencer and how people, justifiably in some respects, I think unjustifiably in others, want to crucify him for things he said six months ago, a year ago, five years ago, ten years ago. PlayStation understands that they just shut the fuck up and make games.

I think there's all options on the table, and I don't really know what to take away from it. I think there's the... We can go the negative side. Live service hasn't worked out the way they wanted. PlayStation's had a number of high-profile failures. Some wins with Helldivers, too. But, like... Was that ever the case?

I saw people smarter than me yesterday on social media talking about like, well, and they were always going to get to being one CEO. The co-CEO thing wasn't always going to work. And I was like, was it not? I don't know. When they said they were doing that, I was like, oh, bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off. Clearly it isn't. Push Square had an interesting point in their write-up that I liked.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
And if you allow me to bring it in, right? I'm joining Push Square already in progress. This is Sammy Baker over there who's about to pull in something from Variety. It does suggest, however, that the dual CEO setup wasn't working as effectively as Sony management would have liked. Back in October, both Hulse and Nishino attempted to explain their roles to Variety. Quote, this is not co-CEOs.

You got to tape his mouth shut or something. I've already bounced ideas off of you, and I think you know they're all absurd, and they're all going to catch him off guard. I mean, it's just about getting him in a state, whether it be drunk, whether it be funeral, whether it be sleepy, whether it be wedding, whether it be some other bullshit we make up. Because that's the other thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
It's two CEOs for the company, Nishino confusingly explained. Herman runs his thing. I run my thing. And then we get together and talk about how to grow the business. Growing the business for success has a conflict as well. How we impact each other or how we want to sacrifice or not. It's a balance. It's an opportunity and a risk. End quote. That sounds confusing as fuck. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
So... The way to read into it in the more business-y, I would say positive way is like fucking CEOs of giant corporations and SIE, right? A corporation within a corporation or however you want to describe it, a division. It's like that doesn't sound... Like, that's running well. So it would make sense to give one of them the reins over it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
And in my head, yeah, if you're a business, you'd give the business guy the business role, which I think is CEO of SIU overall, and let Herman continue to run first party. So many people yesterday wanted to read into this, the negative stuff, and be like, oh, Herman's been demoted. It's like, well... On a paper org chart, yes. The guy who was next to Herman is now above Herman, sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation & Bioware Get Major Shake Ups - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.29.25
But a demotion for Herman would have been, cool, you're no longer running PlayStation Studios. We don't believe in your vision that you're sharing, I assume, behind closed doors for what the next 5, 10, 20 years of PlayStation Studios are. And the fact that that didn't happen makes me go, this is... people reading too much into moving people around on a chessboard in a boring business sense.

That doesn't make, I don't, we don't have the in conference room shareholders, CEOs. I don't have a stake in it that way to be able to look at and go, this is why it's happening.

IGN understands the total number of affected individuals in this wave is less than the roughly 300 rolls cut last month across Respawn and EA's fan care teams, but cannot confirm by how much.

We're doing everything we can to support them, including finding opportunities within EA, where we've had success helping people land in new roles, end quote. As with the past round of layoffs, EA is endeavoring to place affected individuals in other roles across the company.

The company has made use of its placement program with each round of layoffs in recent years, an effort that remains possible despite the constant team cuts likely due to EA seemingly drastically increasing headcount on other teams at the same time. Per Game Files reporting, EA employed 800 more people as of March of this year than it did at the same time in 2024. Bis zum nächsten Mal.

Die E-Mail nennt nicht EA Sports, aber das ist wegen Melee EA Entertainment. While EA Sports is a separate division. IGN understands that the sports division is unaffected by these changes now.

Little has been shown of Black Panther so far since its announcement in 2023, though we know from a job listing it was to be a single-player action-adventure open-world game. Black Panther was being developed by the newly formed, now closed, Cliffhanger Games, which was formed in 2023. with some former developers of Middle of Earth, Shadow of Mordor, and headed up by Kevin Stevens.

These cuts come on the heels of multiple other rounds of layoffs and cancellations at EA over the last few years, especially in 2025. Just last month, EA laid off roughly 300 individuals, including around 100 at Respawn, while cancelling an in-development Titanfall game and another incubation project.

Earlier this year, EA restructured BioWare, giving some developers to other projects and laying off others. In 2024 gab es eine massive Restrukturierung bei EA, die 670 Arbeiter in der Firma ausgelöst hat, insbesondere rund zwei Tausend Arbeiter bei Respawn. Und im Jahr 2023 wurden 50 Arbeiten bei BioWare und ein unbekanntes Niveau bei Codemasters ausgelöst.

EA employed 800 more people as of March this year than it did in the same time of 2024, right? So it's not that... They're hurting. They might be. It's not that. It's that they're investing in very specific spots because we're in an industry right now where the shareholders have all the power.

And so when you're talking about something as big as electronic arts, as humongous as EA and the things they know make money and the people who are going to sit there and go, why are you making X, Y and Z?

But I do look at this and like when they announced Black Panther and even when they announced Iron Man, it was kind of what I was like, really? EA? You're seeing the success you had with Insomniac? And take PlayStation out of the equation.

EA Cancels Black Panther Game, Closes Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.28.25
Just Insomniac, this dedicated team, I guess you have to put PlayStation in, this dedicated team from a publisher that seemingly, or you know, yeah, they'd still be a publisher, the publisher that is like... funding ideas and single player stuff, and you saw that success and wanted to go to EA based on Star Wars Jedi, I assume? Like, that was the idea?

Was sehr viel ihre traditionelle... Ja, Schütze, doch, richtig? Ja, das ist, was ich sage. Ich spreche über EA Battlefield, richtig? Okay, du machst Schütze, was auch immer. Um dann eine Battlefront zu haben, macht Sinn für mich. Wo ist der Jump zu einem Star Wars Singleplayer-Spiel?

Zurück zu dem Thema. Ich dachte, das wäre ein seltsamer Schritt. Und ich dachte, das wären seltsame Entscheidungen. Also ist es nicht so, dass ich mir das anschaue und denke, ich denke, EA ist der größte, wir sind von Profit-Margin-Firmen gefördert, richtig?

Natürlich. Natürlich. Weißt du, was ich meine? Und wiederum, das ist die Konversation, die wir so viele Tage auf diesem Show über Skate hatten. Nicht alle von uns, aber viele unserer Skate-Fans. Ist das freies Spielen schrecklich? Ist das das? Nein. None of that scares me as much as I don't believe in EA believing in it. Period. That's the thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Cancels Black Panther Game, Closes Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.28.25
The way EA operates, I'll be surprised if Skate gets out of early access slash alpha, beta, whatever they're calling it when they keep talking about doing it this year. Where it's like, They're gonna do that. It's gonna be similar, I would imagine, to some degree, and this is a stretch, but stick with me, to what we saw this week with Battle Aces, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Cancels Black Panther Game, Closes Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.28.25
Where it's like Battle Aces did its whole beta stuff, and then the people at the top are like, this just ain't bringing in enough. Cut it. Don't do it. We're not committed. And I would imagine, if Skates... Early Access, Multiplayer, whatever, doesn't spike the numbers and go humongous. I imagine EA will be like, no, this isn't worth it. We're not committing to these things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Cancels Black Panther Game, Closes Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.28.25
Because again, we're now talking about an EA that seems like they were making decisions when the good times were rolling and they weren't worried about it. Now clearly, the suits at the top are worried about being financially solvent, so they're moving people off of taking risks. And that's why, again, yeah, Iron Man, I don't think you see. So then you get this question again of Marvel Games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Cancels Black Panther Game, Closes Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.28.25
Somebody, somebody I shouldn't say, a team, a brand that I think for years I've championed of like, man, I really like what they're doing. They don't always hit, they don't always succeed, but I like the idea that they take the Marvel IP and go to talented creators and do stuff. And you look at this and you're like, you just wasted how many fucking years with EA and

Everyone would have told you if you would have asked them beforehand, are they really the people to get into bed with on this one? And you did, and now this Black Panther game is nowhere to be found and probably won't ever happen, right? Same thing, and I mean like... Well, not like legit.

But a lack of crossplay, duo matchmaking and built-in communication tools make it hard to create the conditions needed to have this kind of experience unless you're bringing two real-life friends on every run.

Fire up your engines because Garfield is waiting for you at the starting line. Play as one of eight cult characters from the Garfield universe. There's eight Garfield characters? Well, there's a lot more. You'd call them cult classic. You wouldn't just call them cult characters because that would imply there is a cult in the Garfield universe. Sure there is.

You're going to look at this and say this is a gorgeous cover. I'm going to say this is gorgeous and I'm going to say something even bolder, Tim. What? It's 2025. The time has come.

Die Leute kommentierten natürlich darüber und fragten Matt Fragen wie, das klingt nicht so beeindruckend für Doom, was Matt sagt, es ist unglaublich schwierig für irgendein neues Spiel ohne eine Free-to-Play oder ein Sub-Path zur Entfernung, um in die Top 15 in den aktiven Spielern zu knacken. Das Abkaufpreis ist nur eine große Barriere, um den Spielerkonten hoch genug zu bekommen,

Superchat from Golden Spider says, Are 15-hour games the future of the games industry? Non-gamers don't want a small game. They want a big game they can play for two hours every Saturday all year. You keep reminding us we are the minority, but then keep forgetting that as well.

Goldenspyder, was ich als Reverse-Engineer fragen würde, ist, dass wenn wir alle aufhören, die Leute zu fangen, die nur zwei Stunden spielen wollen und ein Spiel pro Jahr kaufen wollen, dann ist die Industrie verdammt gekocht. Es ist vorbei. Es ist DUNZO.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EA Cancels Black Panther Game, Closes Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.28.25
Mein Punkt zu der Frage von Golden Spider hier ist, dass ich denke, dass man so viele Firmen sieht, die gerade verdammt sind und Leute auslösen und geschlossene Studios haben, weil sie diese Zahlen sehen und dieses Spiel fangen, anstatt zu verstehen, dass das Licht in einem Bottle ist und du das tun kannst, aber du solltest dein ganzes Business nicht aufhängen.

Mach das 15- oder 20-Hour-Spiel, das wir alle lieben und wir kaufen und unterstützen. Knock on wood, theoretically, hopefully you have to. But like, do it with reasonable expectations and reasonable budgets and make a little bit of profit. Not the astronomical amount of budget you want that inevitably ends studios. I digress though. We're not on a Wii News show. There's a CD Projekt Red dump.

Oh, this is collected from several different sources. Cyberpunk 2 is officially the 2077 sequels name. It was previously, of course, codename Orion. This is GameSpot reporting that in their stuff.

Maybe I will jump in because the problem with jumping back into any MMO, but for me as DC, it's just so much has changed. The meta is this exabytes. Aren't the thing anymore.

PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
No? No. There's too much history invested in the PS version. You know what I mean? I haven't even really... I've kicked the tires on the PlayStation 5 client. They launched it or whatever. I, of course, went and got all the trophies. But I need to actually play. I haven't actually played that much with it. This will be a good jumping on point and see what they do.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
And again, I hope they really celebrate the Superman movie and do a bunch of stuff. Now, I want to thank everybody who fell asleep while you let me talk about that. Let's... Go a bit broader.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
And talk about the fact that for the last few weeks, it seems, PlayStation has been walking crib to crib, taking out their gun and shooting fucking games in the head that aren't even getting out of the way yet. And we are talking about a game that has been going for 14 years. An MMO based on DC Comics. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
I know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
Originally made by Sony Online Entertainment that has now changed its name several times because it keeps getting sold. Somehow this game is still fucking going. I don't believe it. When I saw this news today, I was like, Really? When I submitted this, I definitely thought it would be a We News item, not number two on the Roper report.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
I'm happy to rant about it, but I think, again, let's get top level so you're not all bored by me talking about DC Universe Online. I think there's such an interesting slash telltale point to a moment in time where we look at PlayStation, you know, is the Horizon MMO canceled? Is it not? That's a whole different conversation. But let's, you know, Concord fails.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
All right, we're canceling these other live service games. We're doing all these things, right? And everybody looks at them and goes like, what the fuck were you thinking? Like, to look back, 14 years, when this game launched, that you could make an MMO. The way people are with live service games now is how people were back then about MMOs. Everybody wanted to be the WoW killer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
Everybody wanted to be the WoW killer. Please. Go read Jason Schreier's latest book, of course, Play Nice, The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment, right? Because there's the whole conversation there about WoW being amazing and everyone launching all these competitors to it. And there's so many things of who failed and how they didn't do it. Not enough talk about DC Universe Online.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
Maybe that's Jason's next book. I'd be happy to help him with it. However, it's the idea that so many people chased that trend and couldn't do it. Somehow this one did it and continues to do it. And for us to sit here and be like, you couldn't imagine them still putting out content for Marvel Heroes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
I totally could because Marvel Heroes, as it eventually wound down and sadly closed up, but they were trying to meet the movies and they were trying to do things to tie into the movie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
I would love to know, and you never get a straight answer until many years later, I'm sure. But if Marvel games, Bill Roseman and the team over there that took over it, because that's really where what happens, right? Marvel heroes launches. It's before Disney. It's before everything else, right? Then this Disney thing happens. They make the Marvel games brand.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
Marvel Games is like, we're going to partner with different people and yada, yada, yada. It's like, they go on that way and they end Marvel Heroes, right? They just don't want to do this. And there's a whole bunch of stuff of gazillion maybe not being the best place to work at the end and yada, yada. I'm not briefed on that right now off the top of my head, but I remember that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
But let's just say that wasn't a big thing. I wonder if Marvel Games... regrets that decision. When we talk about these things, any business decision on this show in the last month, right? I talk about they don't want a little bit of profit. They want a lot of bit of profit. But as Marvel Games hasn't had... They've had big successes. They've had great games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
But there's been a lot of stuff that has also just been, eh, fine, whatever. You know what I mean? Would you have kept this around to just have a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
steady system generator of content especially where we're at now with all these films of like i would have totally hopped back in right now to go run a sam wilson captain america to go get that outfit to do the thing if you're not familiar marvel heroes was just diablo it was just diablo of like cool but it's marvel heroes and you get the gear and you put it on i mean they don't change their appearance but you get skins to change their things there's a lot of stuff i would change about marvel heroes that i hope would have evolved but i also think that like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
that could still be just a constant... It would be DC Universe Online, right? I would be fucking floored and fascinated and just love if they would just give us data on DC Universe. What are the concurrence on DC Universe Online right now? How many people are signing in day after day, week after week? They're clearly making money still because they're still doing it.

I think it's such a great... like synopsis snapshot, that death whistle of what kind of funny is. You know what I mean? Where it's like, everybody's like, Oh man, every time we've ever done anything, Oh, they're going to lose who they are. Oh, they're getting to, I missed the spare bedroom. I missed the comic shop. I'm in.

PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
And then here it is, Kevin, even if the door was closed and like it is now, and the mic was off, we would hear the death whistle. Yes. Yes. Like there would be no way that would not stop the show. And you know, I appreciate you breaking it down yesterday. Yeah. Kevin's so apologetic in the clip yesterday because he knows he fucked up.

Look at that rat with the sword. The timeless holiday story set into it. Who made this? Warner Brothers presents. Warner Brothers. Okay. It was fucking real shit.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
But it was like, oh man, this Xavier Woods guy actually knows video games. He actually likes video games, right? And then it's just everybody loves video games. That's what it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
But if the mic were off and he did it, and Barrett's in there right now, but if Kevin was in there mic off right now and did it, and then you stopped the show to go, Kevin, what was that? He'd go, what? I'm going to do your show. Don't worry about what I'm doing. You know what I mean? Well, you just blew a Mexican death whistle in there. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
I won't be doing the interactive online portion, but I am very excited for Lost Records, Bloom and Rage. I, of course, did a preview of this on Gamescast, I would assume, of how much I enjoyed the taste of episode one. And so... obviously take as much time as you need to, to work on your game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
But when you start spacing out these episodes, that's when I feel like you start to lose attention span and start to, it's episodic stuff is tough period, let alone in this crowded video game market. And so if you come out and you don't hit Bloomin' Onion episode one and make it meet, everybody go, holy shit, blah, blah, blah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
it's gonna be even harder to get that attention back and keep that momentum there when you get there and it's like you know me and kevin were talking about severance uh season two you know what i mean uh and he i he was like yeah you know we're at home re-watching severance one i was like oh man have you watched episode one of season two and he's like no i haven't like good on you for watching because i should have done that where like it starts me general start episode two and there's the whole last time i severance it's happening like it doesn't help i forgot all about that oh yeah well
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
I would recommend it for sure. Yeah. Just take a little bit more out of it. Uh, but yeah, that's my thing here where it's like, well, I liked what I played of, uh, episode one. Uh, I, you know, it's talking here, of course, right. Like in both parts of the game will add up to be 10 to 12 hours. That's interesting because of course that's dev math.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
And you know, I forget what I played an hour of it maybe. And it ends on a cliffhanger and it's like, Okay, how much more is going to be in episode one to lock me in on that? I liked what I was doing. I liked what I was playing. But yeah, I liked it better as you saw there when it was a month apart, February to March. February to April is long. And again, when you delay it once...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
Who's to say we won't delay it again? Yeah. Because you wanted the game to be great, and I get that. But at this point, I would almost recommend, I would almost welcome them saying, we're pushing the entire thing back. Now, the February date off the table, episode one will launch where it was, episode two was going to in March, and episode two then will launch in April.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
And so it's like, oh, it's the Mexican death whistle. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Do we need to go back to you watching Ghostbusters Afterlife twice with me? Once in the theater, Ben's first theater experience.

PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25

As we always say, kind of funny, some money is better than no money. Exactly. And Capcom seems to get that. Yeah, I'm with you where you look at this number, you're like, oh, yeah, I didn't expect this to sell like hotcakes. And also, why wouldn't you do it if it's easy? Like, just get it done. If you want to take the negative route of like, oh, my God.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
Well, yeah, it's like Apple is so half-assed on their support of games. Here's the big thing. There's a new chip in it, and it means you can run Resident Evil 2 and 4 and Death Stranding on it. And then fucking silence. Okay, okay. Maybe that wowed somebody who's getting a phone. That's a cool thing. But is that what they're buying their phone for? Of course not.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
And so they're not entering into it. And it's that thing of I just don't buy so many people. And clearly the numbers here that I'm watching the Apple Direct. They say that. I go, oh, man. I played Resident Evil 2 in college, and I haven't played a video game since then. Maybe I'll jump in. I'm sure a few people did that, but that's not what it is. Until Apple is like, no, for real, games matter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25

Hey, yo, we are Netflix Games. We're buying studios. There's things up here. There's a bunch of weird Love Island games. And if you don't open the Netflix app on your phone, you probably would never fucking know this is happening. Once in a blue moon, I open Netflix and I get a, hey, we have games or something. They tell me about Oxenfree. I'm like, oh, that's cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
You're just doing that or whatever. But again, like... My dad, who's using Netflix for like a first time on his own, isn't like, oh yeah, games. I get all this stuff. I can't wait to do it. Nor do I think people are signing up and going, oh wow, great, games are here. So it's like, until Netflix either goes...

fucking do it let's fucking push and go it's never going to be a success which will make total sense when like we're closing those studios and we're done with games like okay yeah you never fully asked to do it you never fully asked full acid everybody and i think apple's in the same thing where it's like this is an option there's this tech and it's a reason to sell you a phone because it's more powerful but we don't really care about it which will inevitably i think lead to what you're talking about of like something happens and steam is able to put steam os on there or it's just cloud computing so great now that you can just do that and apple's like great cool we don't need to worry about this anymore

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
I mean, that was the thing is Insomniac's always been so much fun. Yeah. I mean, Ted Price has always been so much fun. You know, I think of even so many people would think after acquisitions and stuff like that, that that would change for them too. And they never did. They never gave that up. I remember when I went down there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
uh demanding the release date for spider-man or maybe i don't remember what it was like when i went on a stream though uh at on insomniac's official thing and we did a whole bit where ted came in and kicked me out oh but he was to get shirtless spider-man in the game i forget i think that's what it was yeah but they invited me i was down there for something else and i just showed up and james put me on or whatever and then we talked to ted ahead of time he's like i'm gonna come in and act like i'm mad that you're here like you're not you're a journalist you're not supposed to be here
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
And so he came in and played a dead straight, dead pan of like, you have to leave. He threw me out. It was really good. So good, man. Ted's always been just a ray of sunshine to talk to and hang out with. I've known him for quite some time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
I got an Xbox Direct. I got this going on. I got that. Exciting. What's about to blow up for the entire week? You know what I mean? And suddenly it's like watching his eye all night long. I'm like, what's going on over there? You know what I mean? Is it itchy? No. But then you ask a toddler the question enough, then they just start saying it is. And I'm like, what is it? You're not rubbing it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
this is the historic problem you see in developers and the games industry and ign when we were there right of just like you're really good at your job so they give you a manager role and you're not ready to stop being a creator yet so it's not what you want to do and you inevitably end up leaving and do only do something else and trying to get back to it how many of the studio heads we have we seen leave the industry only to come back and start a smaller studio where they're trying to create something they're trying to do something yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
Is it really? You know what I mean? They wake me up in the middle of the night, which is always great because he just wants to cuddle in the chair. And I like that a lot. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
Yeah, Ted Price, again, somebody who is beloved in this industry, both by, I think, his co-workers slash employees, but also the industry at large. And I think you can look no further than everything he's done with Dice. Obviously, I host the Dice Awards with Stella. We've done it. I've done it for many years. Stella's done it for a few, but I've been around a long time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
And there's a reason that Ted Price gets to open the show a lot and has all these speeches. There's a reason when you listen to the Academy Interactive Arts and Sciences podcast that Dice does, right? Ted hosts so many of them and talks to so many developers. And it is because he is friends with so many, but he's respected by so many.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
And he knows games so well and he knows the industry so well that, yeah, he should be hosting that show and talking to Todd Howard, talking to all these different people. luminaries, and upstarts who are having great success. Like, Ted is a beloved industry figurehead.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Studio Insomniac CEO Retires - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.22.25
And so, yeah, back to the very, very start of this, it's crazy to see his time end at Insomniac and what that means for him at large in the industry. Who knows? But even, I think, although Reggie's still around, Reggie's not Reggie like he was when he was at Nintendo, right? Like, he's advisories, he's this, he's that. So even if Ted goes into that kind of thing, it's going to be far different.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I didn't get to see the third boss, but I was like, bless, fight the third boss first because I didn't get to it. And I probably should have... The smarter way to do it was like, no, all the smarter players are like, let's drop down to difficulty one or two just to see all of them, you know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah. Oh, the kangaroos. Well, it made me laugh a lot thinking about Blessings. Yeah, Death Stranding. Death Stranding preview about killing kangaroos because you go into the kangaroo section, you just have these dudes that are just punching your fucking head. Yeah, it was crazy. Yeah, like here they are. Here they are. Like, they get aggressive. They roll at you. They punch the shit out of you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
But, yeah, the parries feel fantastic. I'm so glad that I had just restarted a second playthrough for Liza P to kind of get that rhythm going, and I felt a lot better because of it. But...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
it's just it still shows why they are the gold standard for if you want to make a from soft style game but still put your own flavor on it they are still the best to have done it and i think they're still the best doing it this dlc looks to be shaping up to be really really awesome and i have it on my fantasy critic so nice hopefully at 85 okay that's what i'm hoping for
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Feels just as good. A lot of that depends on the weapons that you're using, but they also introduced a brand new bow and arrow, which is pretty awesome. Reminds me of getting this new bow and arrow class in Elden Ring Night Rain when they showed out that trailer a couple weeks ago where... bow and arrows rarely feel good in, in from software games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And then seeing this trailer first drop with, uh, the lives of P, um, overture DLC and seeing him use an arrow. It's like, Ooh, was that just a cut scene? Or is that something that you, we can equip and you can equip a little bow, um, Different cool weapon arts where, you know, if you charge up your full power, then it does an even stronger thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
It'll shoot three bows or three arrows at that moment. Really, really fun. Still awesome. They have a weapon called the Pale Knight Weapon, Tim. Very Final Fantasy. It's a bolt gun. Yeah, it's a gun blade, yeah. The Gunblade was so freaking cool. It had everything you would want when it comes to slash, slash, boom, shoot. Really, really great movement. Awesome enemy types. Awesome level design.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Still, all the trappings that you would hope to get from a software-like game where you travel for...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
28 minutes and suddenly you see a door and you open it it's like oh shit that's the first bonfire right on the other side of the door great level design um i'm super super pumped and it looks freaking great again this is still unreal engine 4 i think it's like 4.6 or something and it runs amazingly great and it feels efficient but it looks still really really damn good
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
No. Okay. That's what we're assuming is going to be sequel territory. Okay. That's like the next thing. Let's hop into other kind of open. I always fuck this word up. Open donate, free domain. What's it called? Public domain. Yeah. Where the IP is just like anybody. You gave me so much. I was like, I know what he's going for. I can't say it. I can't think of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
We're assuming that the sequel, whenever they get to it, will get to that. But we had a nice little Q&A with the directors at the end, and the director was like... Wish I had more time to continue working on this, and that's why I assume that we have no date.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
But I think a lot of these games have challenge with trying not to always up the stakes with just more difficulty, because it seems like every next game that comes out is harder, and sometimes... developers think, well, harder is better. Like, that's the only way we can innovate. But you can still get really, really creative with movesets.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And I think that they're proven so with what I experienced with the boss fights and with the different weapon types. Freaking awesome. Had a great time. Herman Lee was there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Herman Lee was there to play some metal renditions of the Lies of P music as a little in between when group one is done with their section and we have group two coming in later. They had a little reception out there with food and things like that, but he played a guitar rendition of some of the songs from Lies of P. Also, one of the funnier moments
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
You know, and you got to love PR people trying to do the best and trying to like... Goddamn Danny. Trying to, you know, making these little appointments feel larger than life and you get immersed into the world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And they did a lot of cool stuff where we're in some sort of kind of like mansion and a couple of the different rooms are themed after different rooms that you would see in Liza P. There was... For the ball knowers out there, the Trinity Room was recreated where you walk in and it's just like this little pedestal with a box and three chairs around it and a little safe in the corner.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
You're like, oh, I love shit like this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Recreating different things in the room. But then the funnier part was when Herman Lee is doing his final song, he is introducing and bringing up a singer to come join him on stage. And Like, nothing was more... You couldn't have comedically written it better of him going, so-and-so, I'm blanking on his name, was a 2013 fifth-place contestant on American Idol. No! No!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And it was just, like, something about the date and the physicality. Why is he saying that? He was on American Idol. That's all I got to say. It was hilarious. It was hilarious. But it was awesome seeing that. It was a great event. And can't freaking wait whenever this date happens. I got to assume it's going to be... Shadow dropping at SGF? Either shadow dropping or that's when the date will be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And it'll be, like, hey, in two weeks or whatever. But they're still really stuck on the summer 2025. But... Yeah, this looks to be a lot of content, a lot of awesome content for $30, and it's going to be 10 to 20 hours-ish of content. But really stoked for people out there who...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
love souls likes and love adventure action adventure games like this but can't get into them because sometimes they are too hard and Liza P can hit you real roughly with some crazy difficulty checks and to be able to drop the difficulty and have a bit of an easier way about it I think is massive for the approachability side of things so I hope people give this
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
amazing souls like um a a try if you haven't because i i'd put this above demon souls as like it's still better than you know part of some of what from software has done themselves hell yeah fantastic thank you andy what a great preview thank you round of applause and home frame everybody there's a boy can you drag your chair out too oh yeah thanks believe it or not we haven't even started the show everybody because this is kind of funny games daily
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You have little droids and doodles in there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Do some weapons and things like that. It's the map of Hyrule. That's really, really sick. Really, really happy about it. I didn't see it up close last time. It was, yeah, we went to LA, me and Blessing. We got to go to the Lies of P DLC event, Overture. And they said, here's the thing about Overture. 30 bucks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And they just moved on to tell us more stuff. Oh, okay. And everybody in the room was like, what about the date? What about, when's the date? Still no date. Oh. Still no date. Still no date. Summer 2025. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I think it may be a freaking, like, just random drop. Possibly. I mean, that's just a prediction. Could be. I'm going to give you a chair.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
No, no, no. There's always B-roll. There's always B-roll. I want you to sit and be comfortable. No, dude. Trust me. Greg, you stay right there. You stay right there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I like your little T. Got your little T right there. Okay, so Liza P DLC. It is a little bit of a Dark Souls 1 sort of thing where you go back in time and something happens. You go back in time and you awaken and your little homie Gemini Jiminy Cricket. Jiminy! Jiminy's like, but Kratzu didn't exist back then. Kratzu's already destroyed. How is it put back in?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And you're like, well, where are we right now? But I think the setting for this first level is super cool and fascinating. and creative because you're going through the crop zoo and it's you're just going through a zoo with different exhibits oh that's pretty and like you know here's like the here's where the gorillas may be and here's where the rhinos are whatever and yeah it was a big collab
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
But you're seeing them all mutated and everything, and you're fighting a lot of cool enemies out there. The preview event was sort of split into two sections. You would sit down and say, all right, play the video game. Play the DLC from this first level. Just go explore. Play it like you would play Liza P. And then the other people on the other side of the room, you are playing three bosses.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I think the coolest thing that they are introducing is difficulty modes. The standard mode will be, I believe, like difficulty two. There will be an easy difficulty below it, and then they will go even more extreme if you want more of a challenge. For the Andes of the world. Well, for the challenge runners, honestly, because I think the game's playing hard as it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
But for the challenge runners, I think there's been such an awesome... The true sickos out there. There's been a really awesome economy with a lot of great speedrunners who play through a lot of bosses. This is one of the first bosses that you will encounter in the zoo. Let me tell you, Tim.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I beat this boss, ran through, got to the end of the level, went into another boss room, and nothing happened. And it was actually the same boss room of another boss that we fought earlier on the other side of the room. In group one, I started off in group one where it's like, you just do the boss rushes. You play up to three bosses with five difficulty levels.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
It starts off at three, and then maybe you want to see all the bosses, drop it to difficulty two, maybe down to one or whatever. I didn't do that because I lost track of time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
One hour on each side. So it was like one hour with the boss rush, one hour with this sort of section that you're watching right now. In the video where you're just kind of walking through Kratzu, that weapon kicks so much ass, the pinwheel weapon. It charges by running, so it gets stronger as you kind of start to sprint. On the top left corner, you see like a little Roman numeral three right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah. If you run a bit more, it sort of speeds up and becomes a number four and gets stronger. It rocked. The weapon choices are great. I wish we had more time with the exploration section of it, because I think one of the things that really sets Liza P apart from a lot of other Souls-likes is not only that it's real good, but the weapon experimentation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Because so much of Liza P is, well, I love the handle on this weapon, And I love the stats, but the blade isn't really what I'm looking for. Let me disassemble this other weapon, take that blade, put it on this, and you kind of have a lot of player agency there, sort of creating the weapon that you want.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And I love that about it. There just wasn't enough time to look into the systems there. Because there's a lot of new weapons, a lot of cool-looking things. The pinball weapon, like I mentioned earlier, I did end up using a weapon that... It's called the Lorenzini Bolt Blade, and it's like a little stabbing, kind of like a long-range little poker thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
But as I was running with the weapon, the creator, the lead director of the game, walked behind me and was like, when you're running, hold right trigger. And so I'm running, and I hold right trigger, and suddenly it boosts like crazy. This fucking weapon shoots out fire from behind, and I'm sprinting through the level like crazy fast. It was awesome. It was really, really damn cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
And by the time I got to the end of the zoo level, I walked into what I thought would be a new boss arena, and there was already a bonfire there, as if the boss had been completed. And they had to walk up to me, and they were like, You're the only one who's gotten this far. God damn! Andy Cortez, everybody!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah, here it is right here, Barry. They're like, there's actually no more demo here. You're done. Wow. And I was like, fucking gamer, you know what I mean? But the other three bosses on the other side of the room that you end up getting to fight are... Super fascinating and really cool and challenging. One of the first bosses you fight.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Her name is, like, Marchiona, and she had a puppet that... A puppet flying thing. I don't know if you saw it in the B-roll, Barrett, where she... She has it, like, on a leash, and it kind of flies around and attacks you. When the leash is red, the puppet's attacking you. So you know, like, oh, she turned the leash red. It's bright red with, like, red electricity.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I got to defend against the puppet. And then it turns blue. You know, like, oh, now the puppet's going to back away, and she's going to attack me now. So the difficulty really started ramping up. It was really, really tough on the first difficulty. Also, you know, to everybody at Neowiz at round eight, no back paddles.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I did get an apology from one of the PR people. He will remain nameless because I don't want to put his business out there. It's close. Let's call him Danny. He was like, sorry, no back paddles for you. I was like, dang. It's unfortunate. You know what I mean? But, you know, I had to, you know, real gamers overcome. Yeah. You know, the real gamers tell their bodies not today.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
regardless of how injured they are. There's some awesome new weapon arts with the game where on your left arm as Pinocchio, you have these abilities that are kind of like... Um, you can either shoot a rocket or you could grapple enemies towards you or you could grapple towards enemies.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Or if you choose another arm, it will put a bomb in the ground and set off like a little proximity mine or whatever. There's a lot of different gadgetry you have on your left sort of, or here's a little rocket boost. So cool. Oh man. Um, and the one that I really, really dug is the one that's equipped right now. It's called Icarus and it's,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
It shoots blades that just kind of... Like, they shoot out of the arm, and they just rotate in a singular spot, and they do a buttload of damage to enemies, and it sounds great, and the feedback is fantastic. Yeah, the boss fights were really super cool, super engaging. I got to the end of the second one right as I ran out of time.

Oh, let's go, baby. So you're doing it right now? Well, technically, I'm playing Starfield, which you could have played before. Now, let me tell you, I got Starfield stories for you, all right? Because, again, we want to talk about Starfield. What a 24 hours it's been for Greg Miller, all right? I come out and I deliver just a banger Gamescast.

PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I heard I'm on the shortlist for content creator of the year next year because of it at the Game Awards, right? But at the end of it, to piss Blessing off, I say, they should make more Starfield content. And then they announced they made more Starfield content! I went home, I had a new Starfield quest to play from Bethesda, a new car to drive. Are you fucking kidding me?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Then I found out about The Veil. You know about the Veil, Tim? The mods? I'm going to have a lot to say about the Veil. I'm going to have a lot to say about the Veil. Did you say the mods that we just said? Modders finally made a quest line that's fucking awesome when I'm playing it right now. Great job, modders out there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah, yeah. It doesn't sound like Greg Miller. Oh, yeah. This has been a big part of the return to Starfield. Oh, just that you're fucking around.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I'm never going to have to turn off Starfield again. It's going to be like Dreams, but people are going to play it. Or at least me. Actually, probably about the same amount of people are going to play it. Got that? Got Portal getting clout?

Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I mean, August, right? I mean, that is a sizable amount of time to have conversations and figure it out. I can also see this being a licensing thing, right? From GameStop just being like, Sure, you want to do something with Game Informer? As long as we're not paying you. Like, here you go. Like, we get a cut of it or whatever it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Like, you take up all the upfront costs and, you know, fear and all the liability there and we'll just give you the name and the IP and then you can do whatever the hell you want with it for the next few months or a year or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Yeah, exactly. Until we take it back again. Like, I don't know. I'm very...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
very skeptical of this not because i don't think they're going to do great works i know that the people involved are going to do amazing work yeah it's just more of like the business behind it and i hope that this is the clean the perfect break that you imagine right where it is like in the perfect world gamestop is just like here you go we're not doing anything with it yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
We're going to be very uninvolved. Here it is. This is it. You own Game Informer now. That would be perfect. I hope it's not some backdoor thing where they actually technically own it and they can pull the plug at any time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I mean, I think it's got to be that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
If they say something wrong, they pull it. You know what I mean? We can also get into that bag, right? Where it's like GameStop owning Game Informer that they don't really have any oversight into potentially. I don't know. We're all speculating here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

It is very exciting to see this and I'm happy that at the very least that this is not the end of Game Informer. 100%. And also, I hope that they take a page out of the book of EGM, right? With the people that were taking over EGM's catalog and went out there and went through all of the EGM's backlog and put it up online, right?

I hope we have a similar thing here because I want every single Game Informer easily available online. I will pay monthly for it, whatever the fuck you want. Like, I want to be able to go through all of the catalog that I had when I was 10, 11, 12 and be able to look through it all or potentially even purchase reissues of it. I think there's a lot of money there.

There's no way that this is just an online thing, right? I mean, depending on... You gotta have the physical element.

Even if it is a premium collector, like how we do it.

It would have to be a more expensive physical thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
A Patreon premium collector's item, $50 a month, or whatever it is. You get a physical version of the Game Informer. There's something there. It has to be part of it, because I feel like if it's just an online entity, then it just kind of fades away, and it's whatever. It needs to have a physical component to it.

Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Yeah, exactly. They're going to continue down this path, and then maybe 20, 30 years from now, we get a Baldur's Gate 5 or whatever, and that's connected to Larian. But I doubt it, right? It's not going to happen. I mean... Maybe. If you want to make predictions, because here's the thing... Oh, okay, we're doing 20-year predictions. If we're doing a 20-year prediction...

I wonder if Larian even wants that, right? Like, I mean, of course they want a billion dollars. Who doesn't want a billion dollars? But I mean, you've seen the head of Larian talk about just how focused he is on making great games that are uncompromising in every way.

Baldur's Gate 3, if you're going to make an actual proper, Baldur's Gate 4 or other, you got to wait like 15 years. Like you got to wait a long time where that game feels, Baldur's Gate 3 somehow feels dated, which is going to be, it's going to take a long, long, long time. Like I don't know how that game feels dated for the next decade at least.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
But you're going to have to turn around and be like, okay, there's things we can improve on in Baldur's Gate 3. Let's make Baldur's Gate 4. You're just not going to get to that point for a very long time. You're going to have to wait.

Then we come back into the amazing indie studios or independent studios generally that are doing unique stuff that, sure, you can't pair them with IPs like a Remedy. We could fantasy book a Batman Remedy game all day and that'd be amazing, but... do you want Supergiant to work on IP? I don't want them to work on IP. I want them to do whatever the fuck they want.

Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
And I'm sure they're having those conversations. It would boggle my mind if all of these IP holders are not running to Supergiant and being like, hey, We got whatever. Here it is. Do something with it, please. And I'm sure they have to say no to it, right? Because they're making incredible stuff. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
We come down to it where it's, yeah, we can look at all these amazing games and be like, oh, let's pair them together. But I don't know. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I want those studios, like a Supergiant, like a Remedy, to always exclusively be in the business of topping themselves. I don't want them to be in the business of being like, oh, man, this other game did this thing, so we have to kind of figure out a way to do it similarly but better. I want them to just look within and be like, no, we did that. We're going to do it better.

I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm freaking out right now because I have seen the Silksong trailer before, but not since I finished Hollow Knight, so I didn't know what the fuck it meant. I'm like, this is the coolest shit ever! This game is so cool!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I'm so excited! I'm so excited!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
You really do got to sit the fuck down because it is incredible how amazing Hollow Knight 1 is, right? The first Hollow Knight game, how much of a masterpiece that game is. And if that was... Imagine, blessing, imagine if you and like two other people made a game as good as Hollow Knights, and then people are fucking knocking down your door, being like, where the fuck is it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
It's been eight years. If it took me eight years to make a fucking masterpiece, and then it takes me another eight years to make another masterpiece, like, that's fine. Like, that's a fine body of work right there. I understand gamers are hungry. They want it. They want the new game. They want to get it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
But you got to think of just like the human element of this of like Team Cherry is like three to four people making Hollow Knight, which is such a huge Metroidvania. And Hollow Knight Silksong, you can assume, is the same size to maybe probably bigger and more expansive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
So the fact that this game is only coming out potentially in eight or nine years to me with three people, I can't get my I can't hang out with my friends like four to five times in like five to six years.

This might be your shit. The idea behind it is that you play as just a ship and it's just like a 2D game. You're going as a ship. There's no left or right. You're not steering the ship. The way that you maneuver is that you have stars and you press X and then you attach to the stars and then you rocket around it. You attach to it and you use the momentum to go left and right.

Yeah, dude. I'm playing on an Xbox controller. Come on. Bad boy. I'm playing 1, guys. I'm not playing Twin Snakes. When are you going to play Silksong, do you think? That's a good question. Of course, every year, it's like, this is the year, right? This is the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
But there is a lot of, like, I've talked to a lot of developers at Day of the Devs and stuff, and it's like, GTA 6, like, is a real thing that people are still worried about, right? Like, genuinely. And I wonder if that is a little bit of what's going on with Silksong. Just a little bit of, like, do we wait for something?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Yeah, but it's like a big game. I don't know. You don't want to announce it and then, oh boy, GTA 6. For real, I think it's probably around the same time as the Switch 2. I think the Switch 2 announcement thing probably has a soul song thing in there. That'd be such a slam dunk. Or maybe it's connected to Xbox because Xbox is talking about it and that was the last time we saw it or heard about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
If they have... If I... I don't think, like, the main heads at, like, Japan Nintendo were, like, freaking out if they get Silksong, but you know, like, a lot of the American crew was like, no, no, no, no, no. Like, I'm quitting this job if you don't put it in the first one. Like, it's, like, that type of deal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Because you get, like, all of, you get, of course, like, everybody excited about Mario Karts and the generic, not generic, but, you know, the big Nintendo titles, and then you get the entire internet exploding because of Silksong, and that would be the perfect storm right there. It'd be fun. I'd like it. It'd be fun. Do it. It's not happening, though. We're not seeing this game this year.

That was a really nice time. I think that's going to be your join. It feels like an afternoon. You play the game. You have enough time with it and you're kind of done with it. I like this.

Oh, okay. I was thinking about the movie Possessor, which is fucking freaky. It's a David Cronenberg joint, and the David Cronenberg is working with the guy that did Immortality. What's his name? Sam Barlow? Yes, to make a video game. So I was confused, and I thought that that was that. Not bad.

I love Plants vs. Zombies. Of course you do. And they have fucked up that franchise so heavily, right? Plants vs. Zombies should have been the next Bloons Tower Defense, right? We should have gotten 15 of those fucking games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
They should have been $10 a piece on Steam. We should have just kept on adding on to it. They made Plants vs. Zombies 2. That shit sucked. So much microtransactions. They started doing these third-person games, which people like. They're not Plants vs. Zombies, right? They're not the core game. And then now we just forgot. Oh, now we're bringing back Plants vs. Zombies.

You are... Plants vs. Zombies is way more successful than Bloons. No, that is not true. That is literally not true. You think Bloons is more... Yes, 100%. I guarantee you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Yes, 100%. Because Plants vs. Zombies was huge at the time that we were playing it, and it dropped off completely. Because people stopped playing that game because it's outdated as fuck.

Yes, this game is basically a dream slash acid trip video game where it's a first person shooter and you're just trying to go through one hit kill and you're going through this Japanese train station and you're shooting these green MS Paint looking guys.

What form is this going to be? Is this actually going to be in real magazines that we can purchase? Is this an online thing? I'm so interested to see. I mean... Just to jump off of here, right? First things first, I'm very, very thankful that this is not the end of Game Informer, right? Ending it on the entirety of that website, just going to basically what is a glorified 404 page, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
With, I'm pretty sure, AI General, like oh it's been the last thing blah blah blah blah like such bullshit and I was so I continuously like do not go to GameStop in any way shape or form not even just look around because of Game Informer shutting down like that was the last that was the last thing that broke the back of this whole company for me like I really despise the way that they did this and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I am very trepidatious about this in so many ways, right? Like, number one, like, I hope they did not have to pay too much money, potentially, to get the Game Informer license back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Yeah, I mean, do you not think so?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Yes. If I were to just... You know, spitball. We don't know any information. I didn't know about this at all. Yeah, I don't know about any of this at all. I would have just assumed that this was them going to GameStop and being like, you're literally not using this. Like, give this to us. Here's... Let's figure out a way to get the money. Get this back or you get a cut of this or whatever it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I would be very surprised if this is GameInformers. I mean, sorry, GameStop is back into this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Yeah, that's so interesting to me because I don't think, I don't see that as the thing that opened the eyes to the corporate overlord of GameStop, right? Like I don't see them looking back and be like, man, you know what? We missed out on Game Informer. They were really, they could have made us a lot more money. They could have been a valuable piece of the corporate puzzle.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
I see this now as maybe, you know, I don't know how many, a year removed? Less than a year, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Yeah, I don't think they see any value in this. I think they are, after this happened, they moved on, and then potentially people that left, that... were previously a Game Informer, came together, went to GameStop and said, you're not doing anything with this. You guys need money. Is there any way that we can figure out a solution here? Is there any way that we can get that IP back?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Can we license it out? Whatever that looks like. And then GameStop was like, yeah, whatever. Here you go.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Game Informer Back?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.19.25
Which I still think that, in my, like, just brain, I was like, oh, maybe that's the thing. Because I could have seen that.

PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
Today, in the nerdy news you need to know about, PlayStation's considering a PS5 price hike. We know the apparent title of the next Mario movie, and the cancellation of a Kingdom Hearts game has come to ruin Tim's life even more than I did. We'll have all this and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily. What's up, everybody?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
I think to your point of bringing Xbox, I thought, okay, then other shoes are going to drop any time now. Even Nintendo, right? When they said, all right, we're keeping the Switch 2 price the same for launch. When they went out with pre-orders, that to me speaks of, of course, just how crazy and shifting these sands are right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
But then very much saying without saying, we're leaving the door open to raising this later on. I think... If you're PlayStation, if you're Nintendo, there's both the, well, the other guys are doing it, so what's it matter? And then there is the both, well, we got to try to make money and make up for these deficits we're looking at. So yeah, you do. And I think it would be both.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
And I think it would be the same conversation we have all the time of, is the PlayStation 5 Pro for you? Which brings in Terry Huffman, who's super chatted before I think we were even live. I have a PS5 base. My TV runs it fully with HDR 4K. Is a PS5 Pro even worth it anymore since we know GTA 6 ran on a base... On a base PS5. I think we double typoed there, but... Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
Terry, only you can decide how much money a PlayStation 5 Pro is worth. As somebody who uses both a PlayStation 5 Pro and a PlayStation 5 often, I see the differences, but I still haven't seen differences where I'd be like, ah... This would be the one. I think Monster Hunter runs so much better on my PlayStation 5 Pro, but it doesn't run the garbage mode on PlayStation 5.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
I do think when you're talking about GTA 6, again, talking out of our asses we haven't played it or touched it, I would imagine you're going to see it in load times, you're going to see it in fidelity, you're going to see how far it out is there. FPS. Yeah. And how much does that matter to you?

PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
I'll tell you, as somebody who's been re-reviewing and replaying, I should say, for the re-review, Outer Worlds, everybody, remember, we're reviewing it the Friday before the week of SGF so that we can do it on Friday and then be SGF and then be ready for that next week's Xbox presentation of Outer Worlds 2. Playing that on my Xbox Series X, loving it.

PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
It doesn't really matter. But I think there is an interesting conversation here, right, of Christopher Burnett. I just got my PlayStation 5 Pro to avoid any price hikes. Interesting. There is that conversation, both for a PS5 and for any of the consoles we're talking about. Well, Xbox, I guess.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I'm good. I don't feel myself. My Gregway is 15 minutes today of me talking about being tired because yesterday I took off my glasses when I did an afternoon Gregway. And one of the comments was, you know he's tired if he took off his glasses. The epilogue was that I fell asleep in the chair with Ben at 745. And since I'm solo parenting, that meant no one was there to wake me up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
But any of the consoles are like, I don't need a second Switch, but I know Ben's going to want one eventually, and I'd like to have it at launch. And also, I'd like to have it at a cheaper price than if I had to go... Same thing if you didn't have a PlayStation 5 or you're sitting waiting for a Pro for GTA 6.

No, I think we will... I think in some way, shape, or form, the market will correct back to what it was before. I do think these tariffs go away. I do think this is a bad move. I do think this is anti-consumer and anti-worldwide economy. You know what I mean? I don't think it's going to net out the way the Republicans think it's going to net out for us, but we'll have to wait and see on all that.

PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
We've talked so much, I know, and we beat this dead horse all the time of Matt Piscitello saying we're a mature market, and you bringing in this great example of somebody who's a casual gamer. It's like, I wouldn't go up. It's like, well, if you wouldn't go up, fine, but if we are all going up. We're willing to pay that for the PlayStation 6, the next Xbox, whatever. What does that look like?

So now that they've come back and they're not at the 2020 levels of how profitable you were, but you're here at 2025, but now you're here at 2027, right? And it's like, all right, cool.

Over here in the chat, right, they're talking about, you know, rookie 117. Prices will not go down unless the sales plummet. That's exactly back to the stock price, right? Where if they're not happy with this thing, then it would be fucking have all the first parties make smaller games, shorter games, turn them faster, lean and mean, get everything down, and let's go so that we could do this.

Mafia, they all agree. Mafia of the Old Country is $50. Exactly, right? And I think, again, we always, you know, since I've been talking about video games, talk about exploring the scale, right? Let's explore how much a game is worth. And a GTA, fine, you're $100, whatever. But, yeah, something like Mafia of the Old Country, we're going to do $50.

This is a linear experience and we're telling you the story. We're doing this thing. Exactly, right? And so... Hopefully, as more things come in, that's great for us, the established gamers, but dude who doesn't want to buy another console, what does that mean? Does that mean a PC eventually? Does that mean just a Steam Deck? Does it mean cloud gaming?

All that juice in the YouTube chat brings up an interesting point. It says, all this is going to kill off the casual audience. I would pivot and say, doesn't matter. And I know outrageous thing to say, but again, let's talk about Matt Piscitella being here and talking about what was it? 43% of gamers only play Fortnite and something else on their machine. Like they only turn it on and do that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
So it's like, they're not contributing. Yeah. They bought consoles. Sure. They're buying V bucks. Sure. But like for what weird expedition 33 is not going to be affected by those, the Madden people and the call of duty people and the Fortnite people walking away.

We, of course, had this announcement as part of Games Daily this week. This is what happened. But, you know, Monday, it came in too late for us to go to the Krispy Kreme close to us and get it. Tuesday was, of course, us going to the Nintendo store, rocking that, here all about it on tomorrow's Gamescast. So today I had to stop and get the Krispy Kreme Pac-Man donuts.

PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
And I think it's worth calling out before everybody says I'm stupid and an idiot, right? My argument here is it would be a different-looking market, but would it be a market that reflects more what we all want and what we love?

I'd imagine it would mirror what Xbox has done, where PlayStation 5 regular gets this percentage of an upgrade, and PlayStation 5 Pro gets this much, if it is all based on chips and imports and this, that, and the other. I think there'd be some reason to do it there. Oh, Silk Gamer says, do you think this extends the console generations? Great question there. And here we go.

Which, again, I think speaks to what this actually is. I think that's the thing. I look at all this, and I look at PlayStation, even Nintendo's messaging on it, and I know I get shit for saying this, but I do feel bad for them, because I don't think these aren't... They don't want to do this. This isn't a, oh, we can raise the prices and take advantage. They know they're going to lose consumers.

Maybe that's what they built to be, you know what I mean? But hold on, the Portland Cabin... Also, everything's an Xbox now. Yep, it's true. The Portland Cabin doubles down on the question I asked, but we didn't answer and got away from. What do the higher-priced consoles do to the timeline for the next generation?

I would say no. I would say no. My reasoning being is that I think we're all well aware that behind closed doors, these machines are being worked on and planned and yada, yada, yada. And I think you'd be so far on both the Xbox and PlayStation 6 timelines that it's like... Well, fuck, if we throw all of this away, we don't know how much that next chip, whatever, is going to cost on top of that.

I love that. He's the best. The tech experts at Digital Foundry have revealed the final tech specs for Nintendo Switch 2 and with it claimed that game chat feature has a significant impact on system resources to the point where developers are said to be concerned.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
During last month's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo revealed the Switch 2's game chat functionality, sugared by a press of the C button on the new Joy-Con. Players can watch each other enjoying the game or different titles and, with the help of a camera, even see each other.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
It's made all the easier by a built-in microphone that is shown to be relatively reliable regardless of the player's gaming environment. The C button's chat menu aims to be an all-in-one multiplayer feature that could result in Nintendo's most successful online push in decades.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
Digital Foundry said Nintendo provides developers with a game chat testing tool that simulates API latency and L3 cache misses that the real world game chat incurs on the system. Okay, are we keeping up? We all in still? We're going in deeper, everybody.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
Yeah, me too. I was like, wow. This means developers can run tests without needing active game chat sessions running. DF is now, Digital Foundry, is now left 1001. What the fuck is this? Digital Foundry is now left wondering whether game performance for the end user is impacted by having game chat on or off. If game chat resources are within the system allocation, it shouldn't make any difference.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PS5 Price Hike Incoming?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.14.25
However, given Nintendo provides game chat emulation tools, the suggestion is there is a hit of some description the developers need to test for. As Digital Foundry put it, quote, we'll be interested to see how game chat may or may not impact game performance as this does seem to be an area of developer concern, end quote. We won't know for sure until Switch 2 comes out on June 5th.

Meanwhile, Digital Foundry revealed the Switch 2's final tech specs. Switch 2 memory system reservation is 3GB, with 9GB available for games.

Even after the 90-day pause and reduction in rates announced last week, the 30% tariff on imports into the U.S. from China is substantially higher than the 10% rate levied for other countries, and games consoles were not included in the examples for select other electronics. Exemptions, I apologize, for select other electronics.

$350.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Yeah, I think $350. Especially because, like, the tech that they're going to put inside that thing is new tech compared to Nintendo. But in terms of, like, what the actual hardware is inside, I doubt it's going to be that pricey.

He's desperate. It's just funny when Greg was saying at the very beginning of all this that he's ready for an adventure. I thought he was alluding to he's ready to get into shadows. So it's surprising to hear. But I get it, Greg. I get it. Let me tell you. I was listening to a bunch of Game of the Year podcasts this last week.

And the way a lot of people were talking about Prince of Persia, I was like, fuck. I want to play Prince of Persia. Like that sounds so good. And then I looked at, you know, my schedule for the rest of the year. I was like, no, I got to continue Jack X combat racing. Hey man, you did this to yourself. I did this to myself. And let me tell you, Jack X combat racing just keeps going.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
One that I really enjoyed from a couple years ago was a game called Islets. I remember talking about this one. It was on my top ten a couple years ago, bless, and it is a Metroidvania where the entire kind of... Loop about it is that you're bringing it like you're kind of the map is all separated and you're pulling it all back together.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
So the kind of like a Metroidvania thing that like when you can find new routes is when you put like two chunks of a map back together. It's really fun and cute. But this also leads me to maybe you testing out a game for me because I have not played a game people have been telling me to play, which is Crypt Custodian is one that people have been talking about all year. Same developer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Two quick thoughts I have here. I love the disparity between how... the kind of heads of the Black Myth devs have kind of been about everything ever since the Game Awards, and then we haven't heard anything from Stellar Blade devs, and the first thing we hear is like, hey, we're taking care of our employees. And someone in chat was like, why is this a news story?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
It's because we've had so many fucking stories in the last two years of devs getting laid off, of profit margins not being big enough for people at the very tippy top. It is nice to have a story every once in a while, where actual employees are being taken care of by their employers. So, yes, let's celebrate that when we can, because more often than not, we're hearing the opposite of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I'm not sitting here like, oh, shit. It's because the magnet rumor was like... has been around for a while. And like, now that it's like some of these things are more substantial and all this stuff, it makes me more excited just because I'm excited to hear Nintendo explain what the fuck all this. Sure. Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
And it's like, and because it's specifically Nintendo, I want them to bring back the couch, you know, like I want them to get weird with it and have fun with it. And so I'm, I'm getting more excited, honestly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I wouldn't even see it being that. Cause like a hardware leaking at this point, I, I get because, you know, they're sending maybe dev kits out to, you know, third party studios or what have you. They're sending, you know, mock-up images to third party, like retailers and all this stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
So this side of it, I get, I don't think Nintendo really has to play ball with like, even like an Amazon or anything until these things are announced. Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I would guess... I don't know. Getting away from the election and stuff like that, I don't know. But... I would say it's maybe even more realistic. And again, this is just a gut feeling. Maybe they've been waiting on this and sitting on this because we've known Nintendo to sit on things before, like with Zelda.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25

When you described everything you described, Les, it sounds to me like they're doing their version of gang beasts in a way with MOBA stuff. I don't like...

And it looks similar to what you would get with Gang Beasts or Party Animals or one of these sort of social multiplayer games that's silly and goofy. But it also seems like Bungie is trying to be more serious about it in terms of classes and skills and MOBA types. Yeah. Like, where do you think that this lands in their portfolio?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
And it seems like they're down to experiment, which I think is nice. Like this feels like a kind of weird project that they seem wildly passionate about that enough to say, we're going to give you all a studio name. Like, I think that's kind of a really big deal to say you are now a first party studio. That's like kind of wild. I think, bless, I think you just haven't found your right MOBA.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Really? Because look, When I thought of the word MOBA prior to a game like Deadlock, to me it was clicking on the ground and making a little guy move forward and doing that.

I don't get it. I don't understand this shit. And then I played Deadlock and it was... All right. We're going to give you the MOBA sort of vibe, but in a third person shooter. And it's like, oh, that's a way for me to kind of that's easily digestible for me. Yeah. You're going to give me this genre that I've generally not been super into, but it's a third person shooter now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And my aiming matters and my accuracy matters. Cool. I can. That's something I can understand. And I think that there's something kind of neat about this sort of genre with Smash Bros. percentage damage stuff that could make you damage your character more. And if it's more skillful, like a fighting game, I could totally see this being cool, but... in the current climate, if it's not free to play.

It has to be the most perfect storm in order for something like this to catch fire. It seems like they have all the belief in it, But a lot of other people have had a lot of belief in their really fun multiplayer games before. And this is never an indictment on the game's quality itself. This game can come out and be the best fucking game ever.

God, I love how bad Google's AI overview is because I typed in, what is a frog game? And it says, a frog-type game generally refers to any video game where frogs are a significant, often central element. This can involve playing as a frog, interacting with frogs in the game world, or having the game's core mechanics tied to frog-related actions like jumping or collecting.

Oh, you got it? Oh, I got it. Destiny 2 is getting an entire Star Wars themed expansion called Renegades later this year. This is from Ethan Gatch at Kotaku. The next year of Destiny 2 includes a massive homage to Star Wars. Okay, is it an homage or... Is it actually Star Wars? I think it's actually Star Wars. We'll find out. It's not just an homage.

What exactly will Renegades entail besides Star Wars fonts and iconic weaponry from a galaxy far, far away? Bungie is insane just yet. The announcement came as a one more thing tease at the end of the Year of Prophecy showcase focused on what the future is of its sci-fi MMO shooter looks like.

And there's no information on just how closely it will bleed into the actual Star Wars universe, though the team isn't being shy about the inspiration. Bungie said the expansion, which launches before the end of 2025 pending any delays, will take players to a lawless frontier within the Destiny solar system that channels the sci-fi western style of the Star Wars universe.

And then the match ends and I lost 100 to 22. I'm like, man, I thought I was popping off, you know? Yeah. And you never feel like you have a lot of agency in Battlefield games. That's the thing. Like, when you're playing a 4v4 shooter or a whatever, you feel like you can clutch up as an individual and go, man, I can really make a big hero play. I can 2v5 this squad right now.

I think you make a great point that it's one of their knowns. It's something that they know will do well. It's something that they know will, that it's consistent. And just looking at reports from several years ago, how 2042 had the second best week one sales in Battlefield history. Now, that was during the pandemic. I think that's also, those numbers get skewed a little bit.

In a world where everything we did 10 years ago was about selling shiny discs and plastic boxes in retail shelves, while that's still part of our business, it's a significantly smaller part of our business, and we now have pricing representing everything from free-to-play all the way to deluxe editions and beyond.

Quote, at the end of the day, whether we're doing something that costs a dollar or we're doing something that just costs $10, we're doing something that costs $100. Our objective is always delivering incredible quality and exponential value to our player base. And what we've discovered over the course of time is whether we can marry quality and value together.

And lose the goodwill from people that may not already have a whole lot of goodwill for you as it is. And we're talking... Can you imagine the prices going up on a Madden or NCAA football? We're talking games that... you know, don't get remade every year. These are games that are often reusing 80% of the assets from the prior year because they have to pump out a new game every year, right?

And that's a lot of work and that's a quick turnaround. And you are... It's such an interesting business and it reminds me a lot of... how Call of Duty can put out a new game and people will buy the fuck out of it. But no other studio can do that.

I'm not saying that he isn't leaving it off the table, but the fact that it was more skewed to, well, we believe in, you know, quality versus what you're paying for, blah, blah, blah. I was expecting... on an earnings call, I'd be like, hey, nothing's off the table, man.

Tariffs, whatever, you just want to throw out there. Like, I'm shocked that they didn't lean further in that way because that... You could tell the public one thing in a press release or whatever, but then the earnings calls are a bit different. The earnings calls are where you kind of get more into the dirty shit. You do the rich people laugh. Exactly. You twist your mustache or whatever.

I don't foresee things changing for a while. My question about going free-to-play or the thing that I'm kind of doubting that the free-to-play model will even happen is because the numbers are still there for games like Madden and NCAA had a successful year. I don't know if the EAFC thing was... an anomaly for what happened with it seeing a lot of revenue loss.

But, like, they're still doing microtransactions within the game. People are still paying for ultimate teams and things like that.

This comes from Jay Peters at The Verge. On Tuesday, a publication called Nexus Point News published a headline for what looked to be a major piece of entertainment news. Exclusive, Alex Garland set to direct Elden Ring film for A24. What a sentence. The article claimed that Elden Ring is expected to be Garland's next film and that shooting is expected to start in 2026.

But don't get your hopes up. Soon after the article was published, Nexus Point News pulled it, and the publication won't say why. How this news article made the rounds is an interesting case study in the way news travels on the internet.

We first saw the Nexus Point News article from a Wario64 post on X. Generally, Wario64 is a great account to follow to see breaking news in video games almost as soon as it happens, and the account is quite popular with more than 1 million followers on X. But none of us at The Verge had ever heard of Nexus Point News, let alone recognize it as a place that reliably breaks entertainment news, so something didn't seem right.

Parentheses. Another recent Nexus Point News exclusive includes a potential cast member being eyed for one of the male leads in a Star Wars Starfighter. But the in the Star Wars Starfighter film. But the article includes an update that says, quote, a Lucasfilm spokesperson has denied this reporting. So I messaged Wario64, asked him why he reposted it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Launches New Studio For Multiplayer Games - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.07.25
He said that the person who posted a thread on the Gaming Forum reset era claimed the site was reliable and that, quote, I guess I'm sharing because I too think it's absurd. The thread appears to be this one where the poster says in a reply to somebody asking, bro, what the fuck is this source, LMAO? That Nexus Point News is pretty reliable.

They are breaking more and more news before traditional trades. Soon after, I refreshed a Nexus Point News story and saw that it had been taken down. I told Warrior64 that we were looking into it on our end about its removal. Soon after, Warrior64 posted about the removal and deleted the original tweet. Then, I emailed Nexus Point News press line to see if somebody could say what was going on.

I guess for me, the one part of me that wants this to happen... And I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you because I think that an Alex Garland A24 film for Elden Ring, those things just don't really seem to go together.

No, but I'm curious enough. I'm curious enough that with talented enough people, something of note could be made. Something cool could be made here. I don't... Because of the storytelling, it's such an odd game to even try to visualize as a movie. It would have to be... I don't know how you could make this movie and make it make sense narratively. It would be a lot of weird moving parts.

It would be... It would... It reminds me of what people were telling me about the Until Dawn movie. How so much of Until Dawn is the decision making. And when you put that into a movie and remove all of the decision-making, it just kind of becomes a horror movie. And at one point, will The Elden Ring Adventure just be a medieval-type deal with names that I recognize?

The only one I really feel that way about is Mass Effect. And with Amazon kind of working on a TV show or whatever that's going to be, that gets me excited because that Mass Effect is such a universe that is asking for any other sort of medium to sort of take it on and be visualized on a big screen.

That button is blacked out on the regular ROG, though it will likely be replaced or removed in its production version. 9-1-Mobiles found listings for the ROG Ally 2 at the Indonesian certificate and video cards linked... those to an FCC listing for the Wi-Fi module included in the two devices, which includes photos of the hardware.

Fu King writes in and says, Veil Guard PS5 Pro patch comes out this Friday, which would not be what the blog said, but you didn't show your work. So who am I to believe? A blog post from weeks ago or this unsighted, unsourced information? I don't know. Kabob says it's worse. The official title for Pokemon Legends is Z-A. Don't forget the hyphen.

WND. As long as you can play your old shit, who cares? Because you figure a cartridge slot on the Switch 2 means money. And form factor ugliness, right? So if it is, yeah, it's a USB dongle or whatever you're going to put in there. I can see that. I think that. I agree with that. Dongle. But again, that's why you should have gone digital.

We got through last night, of course. I don't need to mention it. I don't need to talk about it. But Jen and I got through the second hour of the Batman. Okay. And I like this show. I like this movie a lot more based on the Penguin now. Okay. So this is big. I want you to know. But again, just three hours. It's long. It's fucking Titanic. You know what I mean? I'm waiting.

PlayStation 5 Pro Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.06.24
It's Wednesday, my dudes. Roper Report begins with number one, the PlayStation 5 Pro review roundup. As you can see, we have a PlayStation 5 Pro. We have two PlayStation 5 Pros. Timothy has been playing his extensively, and I want his thoughts, but before then... We will, of course, ask the Super Chat a question. Are you in or out on the PlayStation 5 Pro? I need your answers. Yes, no, and why?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation 5 Pro Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.06.24
Show your work. I want the why. All right, this is algebra class. Show your work in your Super Chat so you can be part of the conversation. We will turn our eyes to Michael Heim at IGN.com, which always makes me smile. I know. Michael Heim, IGN.com, who gave the PlayStation 5 Pro a 7 out of 10. Considering that the PlayStation 5 generation has largely been described as, what if the PS4 was faster?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation 5 Pro Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.06.24
It's a little difficult to get all that excited about a console that promises to be a faster PS5. The PS5 Pro delivers on that for sure, and if you find the standard PS5 leaving more to be desired from a technical perspective, it's an intriguing prospect.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation 5 Pro Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.06.24
Running pro-enhanced games in the new performance modes gives you essentially the old fidelity modes now targeting 60 frames per second, sometimes with extra improvements.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation 5 Pro Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.06.24
Sony's AI-powered, pisser, PSSR, upscaling tech is certainly impressive when playing games that have been updated for it, giving console players the same type of image quality and frame rate improvements that Nvidia's DLSS has delivered on the PC side in recent years.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation 5 Pro Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.06.24
You're not entirely free from compromises because you still have to choose between that new standard and even better-looking fidelity modes at 30 frames per second. Though, I found going with performance an easier choice. At $700, it's not cheap, so you have to really desire that visual upgrade, knowing that it doesn't transform the gameplay experience at a fundamental level.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation 5 Pro Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.06.24
And to be fair, Sony never said it would. So as it stands, the PlayStation 5 Pro isn't essential, but it is certainly nice to have. Then, another friend of the show, Tamor Hussain over at GameSpot wrote, powerful on paper, ordinary in action. What Mark Cerny and the engineers at Sony proposed to do in the PS5 Pro.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation 5 Pro Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.06.24
I always want to say PlayStation 5, but I know they've already introduced it in the article at that point, so I don't need to. But it gets in me. I'm a PS5 guy. Yeah? Yeah. But I mean, the first saying, PlayStation 5 Pro reveal has been achieved to a degree. The gap between how a fidelity mode looks and the way a performance mode plays and feels. Let me try all this again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation 5 Pro Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.06.24
The gap between how a fidelity mode looks and the way a performance mode plays and feels is smaller. Having a technology like Pisser and a machine learning chip and consoles is also impressive. But for now, all of this is only exciting on paper. It's not enough to recommend over the alternative cheaper options.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation 5 Pro Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.06.24
And ultimately, there is still a choice to be made between better visuals and performance, just with a less noticeable trade-off. I hope that one day the PS5 Pro really shows off what it can do to elevate games. But for now, this is the console you should... get only if you've got cash to spare and just want to know you have the latest version of the console.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation 5 Pro Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.06.24
For everyone else, a standard PS5 will do just fine. Timothy Robert Geddes. You are the tech tower of kind of funny. You are the one who cares the most. Who? Me, Andy, and then Raj, to an extent. No, no, no. Raj, all the different ways, though. No, no.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation 5 Pro Review - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.06.24
We got through 55 minutes the first night. Then we got through this night here. You know what I mean? I'm waiting until after the finale to then watch it. See, I know I won't have time. Yeah. Because the finale is Sunday. And then we're doing Penguin in review on Monday. I wanted all of this in there. I wanted to be able to have this conversation in there as well.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I do believe that, yeah, we have an outline. I have an idea for a story. I haven't noodled it. Hallie and him haven't sat down and gone, oh, this, that, that, and then written a script. You know what I mean? I don't think it's anywhere like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
But I think there's an idea, and I think it's there, but I think for now they want to focus on other things and not have to have this question all the time, even though they still have this question all the time, I'm sure. And I also think then there's... So there's that segment. Then there's the segment as a creator that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
If, and I say this not knowing nothing, I'm not, but if Neil stays with video games, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I think, you know, obviously Hollywood's opening up a lot of opportunities I imagine for him and showing the world how talented he is, which I can only imagine would be a nice, I've done this for a long time and I want to flex this muscle and go make that, go do the next thing with Craig Mazin or whatever that would be, blah, blah, blah. If Neil stays here, he knows the audience.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
He knows how passionate they are. He knows how vocal they're going to be. And I think you can go do Intergalactic. Did I say Interstellar before? Intergalactic. Go do Intergalactic. Do something else or Intergalactic 2 and then come back to, oh, now we're doing Last of Us Part 3, right? Because when we talk about video... Wow!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I told you! Jordan Miller, how are you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
No, you're humongous.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
No, we started talking about Jordan Gerblick at GamesRadar Plus, and I was like, well, I don't know how I feel about there being two Jordans, and then we got into the whole Jordan conversation and Jordan Middler. Greg really just steered into calling you large.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
No, I brought that up. It's one of those things. People say all the time, oh, we mentioned a name on the show. They don't know who we're talking about. But now they know Jordan Middler is very large. It just makes sense. You know what I mean? And again, we were very clear. You're not fat. It's just you're exaggerated. You can't call me exaggerated.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
But that's my thing. I'm a big guy. I told the story of you getting in the Mini Cooper with me. And I was like, oh my god. Two huge men are in this car.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Yeah, Jordan got the scoop. Oh, you got the scoop? Yeah, VGC.news. He went through. He teased on Blue Sky. I'm about to write the saddest news story I've ever had to do in my career. And then he followed up with Bam Margera is not in Tony Hawk 3 and 4.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
yeah most people would have guessed that but um anyway let me get on with my life it's like six o'clock here go away yeah we weren't sure we thought you might be asleep jordan we love you we'll talk to you soon love you too all right bye what a nice little man so i think yeah audience wise he knows people would want it and there'd be enough time there too and then the third prong on this fork of last of us part three right now would be i think yeah playstation owns it and so like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I agree with you. And everything we've seen, and I know, oh, what about Concord? And what about Days Gone? What about all this stuff? I do believe, from everything I've ever heard or seen, is that it is a collaborative process at PlayStation. It isn't PlayStation top-down saying, Naughty Dog, you're making this. Insomniac, you're making this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I think some studios get less of that freedom, but I don't think you'd walk into Naughty Dog and say, this is what it is. But I could easily see a future where... Neil moves on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Or, as we talk about all the time with Matt Piscitella and everyone just in the news stories, the winds continue to change in the video game industry, and PlayStation is not on the ropes, but is only finding success in their big exclusives. And then you go, you have that thing of like, similar to what we've seen in so many other news reports, right? Of like, oh, we're doubling down on our IP.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
We're doubling down on these franchises. The Sega bullet point from the top of the show, right? And have an all-hands meeting where Herman's like, yo, studios... We need to double down on successful IP.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And I think it's similar to what we talked about with the closure of so many studios of you get from the top that, hey, we'd really like live service games, and they kind of talk themselves into making a live service game. Not that that would be the thing here, but it is the idea of like, well, we could go back to The Last of Us World. We could do A Last of Us 3. Would it be Part 3?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Would it just be another story in the world? Yada, yada, yada. A million different things, but I... I would bet the house you have not seen the end of The Last of Us in video game form.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
For sure. And I think, you know, depending on team sizes, ramps up, blah, blah, blah. Like, I would say it's more likely in my mind that it would go Intergalactic. some kind of Uncharted thing than Intergalactic 2. A smaller thing like we're always talking about, like what would you do with the Uncharted? I mean, every so often it comes around, people would love to see Uncharted again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
It's such a fun time. What makes that better than soccer and all the other sports you guys have played?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
You know, no spoilers for the last Uncharted, but they leave you with somebody you could run with that could be a fun game, that could be a smaller game too. Let's not make this giant game with any open world thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Great question. Again, people want money. And as Last of Us continues... I think, honestly, for me, what's even more interesting about all of this is what happens with Last of Us when Seasons 2 and 3 finish the story of Last of Us Part 2. Like, are we just done with that? Or do they say, we have more stories to tell here and we want to tell them and we're going to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Then you lose the sauce. That'd be the complaint.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Oh, Baron went the wrong way. Honestly, for me, as just a games... We're in the games vacuum, I'd much rather it be, we're done with this and we're putting it down and we're moving on. Because I think you just get into a point where you get what Sony Ben got with Golden Abyss for Uncharted, where it's like, that's good, but it's not Naughty Dog. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
It's Jak and Daxter Lost Frontier, where it's like, yeah, this is good, but it's not a real Jak and Daxter game, and these are both Naughty Dog IPs. But you know what I mean? We're passing this to someone else, and they have such a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
We're making Last of Us, and we're... You know, it's... I was going to say Sony London, but rest in peace. It's whatever. It's another studio. It is Sucker Punch. It's whoever. It's a third party they contract with, and we are making Last of Us colon London.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And it is what it was like for the outbreak here, and it starts from day one. There is no time jump. You're playing that. There's ways to play in these universes that just don't stomp all over.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Art versus business. Yeah. And me and the game's vacuum of just when I play games and I really think of what I think of the PlayStation 2, PS... Maybe even just PS3 generation, right? Of being able to do something and move on from it and not have to sequelize all the time because it wasn't the business thing. It's like, where does that go? Because again...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
to even talk about a last of us, London, the last of us multiplayer. We almost got all these different things. I do think it starts to water down the franchise. And I say that as a walking dead fan who goddamn telltale, the walking, and I mean, go walking to comics, of course, but goddamn telltale, the walking dead season one, And then season two. And then 400 days. And then Michonne.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And it's like, now I don't even think about that franchise because everything they did in continuing Clem's story the way they did, I wish they, in retrospect, goddamn, they should have just left it. They should have just left Clem seeing the two silhouettes on the hill credits. Like, what the fuck were we doing? Where were we going? We still talk about that. Where is that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
It was such a powerful thing. Like, I feel all that legacy is lost. But again, I understand the business of it. I understand what we're trying to do. Sorry.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Let's check in with those super chats and see what they're saying. Kabob super chats and says, yes, in terms of would you, the question exactly right was, would you be fine with no more Last of Us games? Kabob says, yes, T. Lou is never my thing. I want happy Naughty Dog back. I'm interested to see how happy Intergalactic is. Jam Van says, I can live with no more Last of Us.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
After the part two mess, I can completely understand Naughty Dog being gun shy about going back unless they have something to say. So here's my thing on that one is I don't think them stepping away from not doing more Last of Us would be because of the reaction of the trolls and the assholes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I assure you that as knowing nothing other than watching the trailer, Intergalactic is going to piss off bigots as well. People who don't want strong female characters or gender identities. Oh, it's already done that. they're not going to be with a shaved head.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I read into the message, yeah, the outcry of gamers, capital G, not the actual criticisms of story and this, that, the other.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Dear Sixlet says, Dear Sixlet says, T. Lou may be good, but it's also a huge bummer. Naughty Dog should make more different stuff. PlayStation doesn't need more serious cinematic games. It needs variety. We'll see on that one. Crabby Patty says, T. Lou is top 10 for me, but let it end.

Jim C. says, The Last of Us Part II is my favorite game of all time, but I'm honestly okay if they choose not to continue the story. But that's just me. Jumping off of that one, that's how I always felt about The Last of Us, period. The Last of Us Part I now. But that's another game that I would have loved to have just let sit. Like I don't know. Glasses part two is art.

I had a great time with that. I forget what we gave it. I gave it or whatever, but I love that game. I love that game. But yeah, I could have been like, just leave it there with the sigh from Ellie and the credits. I would love that. Yeah. CJ says, I think Naughty Dog's brand is bigger than T. Lou and Uncharted, which I agree with as well. And then the final one jumps in now. Volk Dasher.

With being part of the writing on the TV show, Neil might be more content with how it ended. And I bet we get an episode or two that take place after the game's ending. They will be expanding on things like they have on other episodes. I could see that. I'd really like an episode or two after the events of Last of Us Part II.

Something like that. I don't know. The last thing I went did for whatever. It was a work trip. Royal Rumble. When I was at Royal Rumble, Jen started playing Mario Kart with Ben. And of course, she was just beating the shit out of Ben. She felt so good about it. She was coming in first every time. And then I came back and showed her what a real Mario Kart player looks like.

If you fuck it up, then... Don't fuck it up. Just don't fuck it up, you know what I mean? Real quick, I usually let your wrongs cook right until the end of the show, but since they're here right now, Kebabs pops in and says on kindoffunny.com slash you're wrong. Greg said that The Lost Frontier is good, but it's not a real Jack game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I haven't heard any Jack fans say that The Lost Frontier is good. I would take you then to IGN.com's review of Jack and Daxter The Lost Frontier by Greg Miller, where the conclusion reads... I enjoyed Jack and Dax for Lost Frontier. I'm a fan of the series and thought the platforming was fun, the puzzles using powers were cool, and the upgrading of ships and Jack provided some depth.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Unfortunately, the empty environments, camera issues, and repetitive nature of some of the battles ding the game to the point that I can't give it a glowing recommendation. There's fun to be had here, but it could have been polished a bit more to bring out the value. I gave it a 7.4, which is a good on the IGN scale. So kebabs, you can fuck right off into the sun. Thank you. Damn. Thank you.

PlayStation hit with more layoffs following recent game cancellations. Ethan got you, Kotaku. The PlayStation-owned studio Visual Arts was hit with fresh layoffs this week amid a further restructuring of Sony's U.S. game development operations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
While some of the cuts included staff who had contributed to recently canceled projects like an upcoming live service game at Bend Studio, a source told Kotaku the layoffs were more widespread than that. Earlier this week, an unknown number of staff at Visual Arts Group based out of San Diego were informed that their last day at work would be March 7th.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
The team provides internal art and technical support to first-party PlayStation Studios and worked closely with Naughty Dog on the recent Last of Us Part 1 and 2 remasters, among other projects. Sony did not immediately respond to our request for comment.

Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Quote, it was tough waking up to messages that many friends and former co-workers from PSVA were laid off this morning, said former PSVA project manager Abby LeMaster, now at Riot Games, and they posted this on LinkedIn on Monday. The layoffs today hit hard. PSVA let go of developers with decades of subject matter experience, talent that will be extraordinarily difficult to recoup.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
This industry can be unpredictable, but the skill, experience, and passion of the people I worked with at PSVA are undeniable." The layoffs come after an expensive failure in last year's Concord, new rounds of live service project cancellations, including a reported God of War spinoff at Bluepoint Games, and a reorganization within the top echelons of Sony leadership.

And then the computer was better for, cause I was there. So she was losing the computer now. Hmm. I feel like that's how I feel when I'm at Ben's soccer practice. And I start kicking the ball around. I'm like, I could do this. I'm playing with Ben. I'm kicking it. I'm doing little passes. I'm doing big kicks. I'm flipping. Do you want to sign up for a soccer team?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
What sticks out to me about this one isn't anything... I mean, we've talked about this. As you said, hard squad to everybody, this industry's crazy right now. It's insane the amount of people who've been laid off this year, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. It's more piggybacking off of the conversation we were just having about Last of Us in a part three, yes or no.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Where it is, we're like, well, if things got dire and you come here and it's like, well, PlayStation's laying off people from inside the house. The call's coming from inside the house. So it is at what point is there the... We need bangers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And I think what's interesting about, and I hate to make this layoff story about Naughty Dog, but trying to stitch them together, right, is I wonder if PlayStation looks at Naughty Dog and says, it doesn't matter if you, like, we don't need you to make Last of Us 3. You can make Intergalactic because you are now a brand.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
That was my concern when they did Last of Us originally, part one, when it was just The Last of Us, where I was like, oh, this is an interesting case because Uncharted has been gaining so much steam. You've been doing the sequels. Everyone's getting more and more millions of units sold or whatever. Now you jump to this. Will the audience understand?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
The audience understood that, okay, Naughty Dog is the people making these games. And so, like, I wonder with Naughty Dog if they can do that and get away with it, but then, yeah, is the answer when you look at something like visual arts, when you look at people getting laid off at Bend or whatever, is it that, yeah, you'd give them a Last of Us?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
You'd take these IPs that are established and give them to them to try to let them keep their jobs, or you keep laying these people off, and, like, how do you build new IP?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
No, but I'm like, because that's the thing. I know I'd step out there and they'd be like, oh, right. This is what a real person plays like. This is what a real thing happens.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And the conversation from us as the gamers and all this stuff is like, oh, man, what does this mean for the people who are trying to get into the games industry? They see this. Are they going to want to do it? Are they going to want to leave? Yada, yada, yada. And I haven't seen in my limited knowledge of talking to the younger generation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I'm game devs when I'm at a dice and I see like the scholars there that there's still this passion to come do it. Right. No matter how hard it is. And granted, you can think of an indie project, a smaller thing, blah, blah. Where I get concerned to a degree is the business versus the art of it. I am coming to this studio to make the next great PlayStation IP.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I'm coming in and we're starting this new thing. We're gearing it up and we're going for it. And you work on it for a year and a half or two years. It gets killed. And then they come in and say, you got to make Uncharted, whatever. And it's like, that's where it gets to me. I went to try to find it because I saw it go through there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
you know, I'm reading off of GamesRadar Plus from way back in the day, but it was the concern when a new report from Bloomberg has supposedly revealed a ton of interesting information about the way Sony's moving forward with production plans for its games, including a look at the potential Last of Us remake. So this is old. Hidden or any blah, blah, blah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Sony's prioritization of biggest games and studios has created a ripple effect across the organization. For example, over the last year, Sony's Bend studio, once seen as a rising star, has now been assigned to support Naughty Dog and feared becoming Naughty Dog North.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
That's what I think more of. These people going to the studios with these hopes and dreams of making whatever, and then it's like, no, now you just have to make this other thing that isn't your passion, and the audience is looking at you saying it's not your Naughty Dog North.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And I know this is a weird whatever, but it's back to the, if I'm Herman Holst, yeah, I'm like, fucking make more Last of Us games. What are you trying to make? Fuck that shit. Make a Last of Us game. You know what I'm saying?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Do you want me to get into the next news story as you're doing this? No, I mean, I can't... For some reason, I kept fucking up KFGD. You know what I mean? KGFD. I'm going to say, if so... I said, can you dial in for one question on KFG? If so, join the Discord.

Matt Piscitella might join us. I'm going to move on. Sorry, Tim and I were talking about Daredevil. I can't wait for you guys. That fucking opening. You know what I mean? I saw you in blue sky about it. That first 15 minutes. Come the fuck on. Then the ending of episode two. Come on. We're back. Ending of episode one with TV on the radio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Oh, and so can they get back to that equilibrium? Yeah. I think, yeah. But I think there's going to be a lot of reckoning before we get there where it's just like you have to get back to, okay, cool. We're not going to make... SQL-itis has to be eliminated. The SQLs probably have to fail. You got to do all these different things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Okay, fair enough. I like that. Matt Piscitella, answer the call.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Number three on the ROPA report, Sega promises fewer new games, but deeper investments in Sonic, Atlus, and Like a Dragon. This is Andy Robinson at VGC.News, of course, who employs the one, the only, large man, Jordan Midler. Sega is planning to release fewer new games in the next year, but invest in Persona, Sonic, and Like a Dragon Studios, it said.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
During its current business year, which ends on March 31st, the Japanese publisher has released more than seven full titles, including Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, Metaphor Refantasio, Sonic Cross Shadow Generations, and Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Asked about its plans for the next fiscal year, which runs from April 2025 to March 2026, Sega said it would release fewer full games overall.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Currently, the company's announced full games, so those that aren't free to play, include Sonic Racing Cross Worlds, Shinobi Art of Vengeance, and Project Century, plus its legacy IP revivals for Virtual Fighter, Crazy Fucking Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage. Quote, Sega said of its plans for the upcoming period.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
On the other hand, we expect continuous revenue contribution from repeat sales of new titles in full game this fiscal year and full-scale revenue contribution from new titles in free-to-play." During the earnings Q&A, Sega was also asked about considering acquiring any external studios to bolster its development efforts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
It replied that it would like to strengthen the Persona Studio Atlas as well as RGG Studio and Sonic Team through the hiring and M&A merger and acquisition. Quote, Atlas is an important studio for us to expand Japanese IPs overseas. And we think, oh, that all kind of rhymed. Yeah, I was going to say, you're rapping right now. And we think it's necessary to strengthen it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And the studios involved in Sonic and Like a Dragon IPs are also short of staff. And we are looking to reinforce personnel through hiring and merger and acquisition, it said. Good, right? Yeah. This is what we're talking about. Let's not get crazy. Here's what works. Here's what the fans want. I think this goes back to you comparing them to Capcom. Hey, we see what other people are doing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Let's strengthen what we got. Let's keep going on this and then do the stuff like Crazy Taxi. Let's fucking go.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
I think, again, it's expectation. I think it's knowing and guessing what an IP can do and not overestimating it. I think Sega, you know... Sega ate a big old piece of humble pie, right, when they left the console industry, and then they lost their way for quite some time, and then they've come back to where they are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
So it's like they've been through the ringer and all this different stuff to where I think you look at them, and most people would look at them and not think of them as no shade, but a top-tier publisher. I think they've climbed the power rankings. They've come back from when they were really low.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I'm one of your hosts, Greg Miller, alongside Forbes 30 Under 30, a.k.a. New York Game Awards nominated, a.k.a. Magic the Gathering Poppy. Blessing, Eddie Oye, Jr. Good morning, Greg. Good morning. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you doing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
But I think having that mentality means that they're putting out games that they're not needing to set. It's not Ubisoft. It's not Square, where you put out this game and it does well, but not well enough. You're like, oh, fuck it. I mean, Sonic just, the Sonic sickos are there for the game. Good, great, cool. That's what we need for you. Crazy Taxi Sickos are going to be there for Crazy Taxi.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
What makes this proposition interesting is that Fortnite creator Donald Mustard recently joined their media company, AGBO, a partnership that the Russos say will allow them to tell new stories across trans media projects. Quote, We would be definitely open to it, Joe Russo said to Variety. Right now, what we're doing is creating new IP at AGBO. They don't say Agbo, right? I mean, I say Agbo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
At Agbo! We want to tell new stories. We want to tell new stories with new characters and new worlds that people haven't seen before. So Anthony and I and Donald are working together to build out new worlds. And we have three that we're currently working on. The intention is that for every world we build to have a scale and depth of a Star Wars universe, but in a different genre.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And then we'll build materials around those new worlds. We'll tell stories in different ways using different media in those worlds, end quote. You ain't getting no fucking Doomsday Secret Wars game. I hope not. I think Donald, of course, Donald Mustard, they call out for Fortnite. Even if you're like, I don't really know that guy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
You know Donald because, of course, he was the one next to Jeff every game awards talking about the big crossover they're going to do in Fortnite. I imagine that's what you're going to talk. You know, you're talking about taking a property and make it transmedia and doing all that stuff. I think that's the easiest early way to go do that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
They're talking about this electric state movie, which I don't know anything about, but I didn't know there was a prequel video game for it. That's a different ball of wax. Here, you get immediately into, we'd be open to it. Well, sure, but then there's Marvel games. And how does that tie in? And then, you know, we haven't done this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
And if Avengers Doomsday is set for next year, is it actually going to be next year? Who knows? You know how movies are. Secret Wars is 2027. Like, if you wanted video games about those that were, like, the kind of video games we're probably thinking of as gamers... Should have started on that five, seven years ago.

Or I can just talk about it on a show like this or whatever and have something to say. I don't have to fret about it. I like that. Man, I really care. Okay, well, that's not a thing.

Thank you. We've put out the Miller signal. Back to the news. Don't bet on The Last of Us Part 3 ever happening, says Naughty Dog studio head Neil Druckmann. It's been a lingering question whether Naughty Dog would follow up 2020's acclaimed The Last of Us Part 2 with another sequel. And in an interview with Variety, Druckmann gave us our clearest answer yet. No, probably not.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25
Quote, I was waiting for this question, Druckmann said. I guess the only thing I would say is don't bet on there being more Last of Us. This could be it, end quote. Interesting. Believe that about as far as I can throw this desk.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Neil Druckmann Says Don’t Bet On More Last of Us - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.05.25

He said so many other times, oh, we've got an outline, I've got an ID, I've got this thing. I'm sure at some point, PlayStation and probably HBO are like, yo, shut the fuck up. Calm down, calm down.

A dark, opulent mansion haunted by mysterious and human like figures. You advance into the house by solving object based puzzles and splicing together the video clips you find along the way.

While they go through that, I'll give you number seven, required reading. An update from AgroCrab. This is from their Steam blog post. The bullet points goes as follows. Late last year, they announced they're working on game three. By the way, AgroCrab, if you're not familiar, a game I loved, Going Under, which many of you didn't play.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Unboxing the Nintendo Switch 2! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.04.25
And then, of course, they did Not Another Crab's Treasure, which was the crab souls that broke out and everybody talked about. Anyways, late last year, they announced they're working on game three. After a few months, they lost funding because their funding partner had different visions of what they saw in game three. That game was going under two. Fuck.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Unboxing the Nintendo Switch 2! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.04.25
Agro Crab has shelved the game indefinitely. Fuck. Partly because of the funding, but also because the team was burnt out. Understandable. As a studio, they decided they needed to change what they were doing to remain sustainable. They did a game jam and made two games, Peak and Crash Out Crew. They're calling these small projects an aggro crab side hustle.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Good for them, again, identifying all of that and then be able to sustain so far, right? Usually here's something like this and it's the studio's closing. These people are leaving. We laid people off. It seems like that's not the case yet. It just seems like, hey, cards on the table. We were working on going under two and that's not going to happen.

But we are supporting these things so you can have an entry-level Xbox and you can hang out. It would be such a, hey... We said that at the beginning of the generation, but things have changed, so we're cutting that off. You need a clean break if you want to be able to do that, and I don't know where or how that works. My thought would be, with Xbox being so, hey, we aren't about generations.

Hey, we are about being everywhere, being the app, being this thing. My thought would be with that next Xbox launch, whatever that's going to be, the next generation of hardware, you say, yes, obviously this is Xbox and this is how amazing it's going to be. These games will work on the past devices, but when you get to the S, I think you have to talk about that being now strictly cloud.

It's going to be here and it's going to look gorgeous, but if you want to play that on the S, you can only play the cloud version.

We're still building momentum on that.

I would have thought they would have fixed that out when they bought them. Well, Dooms Eternal was before the purchase. Is that right? Yeah, that's right. So maybe that's the issue.

But I mean, years and years and years and years and years with content drops. So I wonder if the next Arrowhead game is something completely different. Because I would not expect a Helldivers 3. I would expect them to continue putting out battle passes, expansions, all these big drops for Helldivers 2 to really... or bring back this player base they have, right?

You look at Steam DB right now, right? Of course, the all-time peak on Steam was just shy of half a million at 458,000, right? The 24-hour peak is 47,000, about 48,000, right? So... obviously a huge drop off there. We are just talking about a work week and yada, yada, yada, but still such a committed audience to this. And we saw that spike right when they did launch the DLC at game ward.

So I jumped back in and I put my money down. I bought the hell diver stuff. Like there's all this stuff or, um, uh, kills on stuff. Like they do another great collaboration. I'm back in there. They do another, not even giant expansion. It doesn't need to be that. I just need that kick in the ass to get back out there and, and save the earth. Uh, did you ever get bit by the hell divers bug Jericho?

In the chat of what people would want, I'm seeing a lot of different stuff, but Bender of Strings says, what if a Master Chief skin came to Helldivers? That'd be cool. Somebody chimes in wanting a Warthog. Since they can't get the game on Xbox, I wouldn't jump to the conclusion you'd get Xbox content over there. Lucid Dream just wants a damn minigun, he says. A lot of people still out there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Bender of Strings, I want Helldivers 3 and a better engine. Lots of stuff happening in terms of what people want. I like this one. Luke says, Arrowhead plus Blizzard equals Starcraft skin. Helldivers would get me back 1,000%. Day two of vacation and watching live. Much love to Jerika. Aww.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Thank you. SortByFirstName says, I feel like Helldivers 2 is the epitome of a Helldivers game. Making a third could not go as well. I'd love to see Arrowhead apply the Helldivers 2 formula to a licensed IP of some kind, maybe. Interesting. I agree that it's the epitome of a Helldivers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
So if you can just keep supporting and putting out content and getting people to come buy Battle Passes and whatever, and that supports what PlayStation wants, I think that'd be the way to go. But the formula to an IP... What are we talking about? We're just making a Starship Troopers game. We're the snake eating its own tail. We don't even know where the joke is anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
And then final one comes from Lightning. Don't want a new game. Keep supporting Helldivers 2. Also for Helldivers 2, I want three things. Number one, Xbox release and Halo collaboration. Number two, Starship Troopers collaboration. And number three, a Star Wars collaboration.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
starship troopers obviously should be an easy slam dunk but would it actually move units would people actually care jericho would you have any kind of collabs oh i'm sorry no no you're fine the only collab they've done so far is uh the hellgast from killzone oh okay i was just curious i didn't know um you you want to know what i want yeah i want to know what you want is it destiny is this gonna be boring destiny

Techland has teased plans to release a number of unannounced Dying Light projects. The Polish studio spoke about its plans for the zombie series in a press release marking its 10th anniversary. They claim the franchise has reached 45 million players since the original game was released in January 2015.

Dying Light players have racked up 67 billion zombie kills in over 1 billion hours of playtime, according to Techland. The original game was followed by 2022's Dying Light 2 Stay Human, while Dying Light The Beast is scheduled for release this summer. Quote, and our plans to grow the franchise don't stop with Dying Light The Beast, Techland said.

We'll continue the series with multiple unannounced projects, and we'll also go beyond games with new board games, exclusive merchandise, original web comic series, and more on the horizon. The original Dying Light and its sequel will also receive free updates, quote unquote, very soon. Jerica, I played Dying Light and had a great time.

I was about to ask. Super chats. Normal chat. Are you dying light, sickos? It's the 10th anniversary. People are still putting out original updates for one. Heroic Headgear says, in all caps, me. I mean, I love you. And I'm not saying don't, but it's just like, you're still playing Dying Light? That's fucking awesome. That's insane. That's rad. That's cool. I love that for you.

The island will be a world consisting of areas based on different WWE themes where players can complete quests, take on challenges, compete in live events, and upgrade My Superstars characters through storyline chapters.

I like my faction. I know a lot of people you don't. It's fine. Whatever. They're going to have a universe mode in there. I know. Whatever. The island will either be meh. this is a half-baked idea with weird quests we don't want to do or whatever, or it's going to be money-grubbing, microtransaction-y, or it could be cool. Maybe it's cool. Maybe it's interesting. Three options.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I'm terrified of it being the money-grubby route. If you remember, we did the whole microtransaction games cast where you're brought in Mr. Money in the Pocket, Snowbike Mike, who just wastes all his money on NBA 2K. And what does he do in that? They got to the yard. I don't know what they fucking call it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
But there's something where you make a character and you walk around and do stuff that sounds similar to this to get attribute points. But if you don't pay the $100 or whatever, you're a 60 and everybody else is a 99 and you just can't play the game right. I'm terrified that's what this is going to be. I need to know the island. Is it pay to win? Can I not compete in live events?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Can I not do anything? Because if it's just weird shit, walk around the island, go to the...

stone cold area i don't fucking know and catch beer cans you know like okay what that sounds dumb and i don't think it'll be it'll play that well but is it fun but is it like is there is there gonna be a lot is this i'm not even the pvp guy that's the big thing i guess because there's pvp obviously in wwe already you can do that go play on mine i never fucking do it even my faction would like go play i'm like i'm fine i'll do it for the one thing to get the lifetime check but like

I don't know what this mode is going to be. I did a conference call the other day where they were talking about this stuff, a Q&A, and one of the developers said, the way, wow, I don't want to screw this up, the way the 2K games have always brought wrestling to video games, this is bringing video games to wrestling. And I don't know what the fuck that means.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
And so that doesn't sound like something I need to jump in and play immediately, but I want to see it. I want to see it and I want to know, is it fun? Because like the universe, not universe, sorry, the My Rise storylines, right, are awkward as shit, but it's also because we're acting like wrestling's real there.

So when I come back and Xavier Woods sent me to the wrong arena and I'm fighting a luchador, that's whatever, that's funny, that's cool, whatever. But an island full of, WWE themes? Well, I don't know. I don't know about this, but I want to know. I'm not saying toss the baby out with the bathwater.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I'm not saying take Mae Young's baby she had with Mark Henry that was just a hand and toss it out with the bathwater. It was just a hand, Kevin. She was a very old lady. She shouldn't have been able to have a child, especially with sexual chocolate Mark Henry. But then when they did, it turned out it was just a hand that had been left up there for years. It's a storyline. Look it up, everybody.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
It doesn't matter for right now. I'm not saying toss the baby hand out. It was a man's hand. Don't toss the hand out with the bathwater. I'm just saying let's keep our eye on this, okay? Thank you, everybody. Jerika, thank you for letting me have the floor for a second.

We'll see. I don't know. Number five on the ROPA report, Phoenix Labs lays off, quote unquote, a majority of its studio two years after Fort Labs acquisition. Dauntless and Fae Farm developer Phoenix Labs has laid off a majority of its workers one month after releasing a poorly received update to their former title as part of its launch on Steam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
The company announced the move in a post on LinkedIn saying that today is another quote unquote difficult day for the studio. It added that the decision was part of quote unfortunate but necessary changes to its operations end quote. Quote, we recognize and deeply appreciate the contributions of every individual impacted, the statement continues.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Their talent, dedication, and creativity have left an indelible mark on our company and our games, end quote. It added that it would be sharing more details in the weeks ahead about what these departures mean for Fae Farm and Dauntless, its two released games. Dauntless is a free-to-play live service game, while Fae Farm is a premium game with online multiplayer. Boo. Boo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
That sucks. You know what I mean? I remember when Dauntless launched, that was the one where everybody was like, oh, it's a smaller... I don't want to say independent because it wasn't... I don't want to give you that. They were independent, but a smaller Monster Hunter. It got a lot of juice behind it. People were really stoked about that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I had either forgotten or missed the purchase here by Fort Labs. And then definitely... Well, I vaguely remember... The Phoenix Labs employees talking about there being trouble, but I missed the fact that they were cutting off communication, trying to conceal ownership. Who would have thought the blockchain guys were bad? God. I'm just shocked.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25

Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
In all seriousness, this fucking sucks. That sucks that we've seen the majority of this studio close and get laid off that way. Especially for something that Dauntless had that juice. It had a bunch of people behind it. And then Fae Farm, I definitely, I played it SGF once. Wasn't my cup of tea.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
just once again like just how scary it is to want to work in games like it's it's wild one of the comments that went through in the public chat was excuse me uh monster hunter fans want to play monster hunter they don't want to play monster hunter likes i would disagree with that argument because again dauntless did very well there were a lot of people playing dauntless it was a success story i think what we're missing in terms of this conversation is what jerica just talked about
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
We are a successful indie game. This is doing well above our expectations. Someone comes in and buys you because they see money in their hills, and then guess what? Fae Farms doesn't deliver or does deliver, but only that much profit when they wanted this much profit, and they say, ah, Jiminy Jillikers, we're the blockchain guys, and guess what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
That's not doing as well as we thought it was going to do, period, and now we don't have the money for this, or we don't want to worry about that, and they close you up, and they're out of it. This is the problem with selling.

When you're selling to people who aren't... Again, video games are art and you're selling these things to people who just want to make money and that's what you're seeing across the industry when these games aren't making enough fucking money for their goddamn corporate shareholders, overlords. That's when everything goes to whatever. So... I've been on the soapbox a few too many times already.

Staying is great news for a generation that's already been a letdown with actually feeling like a true next gen for all parties. Tyler says, every time Series S compatibility comes up, he always feels like the conversation devolves into, quote, stop being poor. Spend $500. You broke loser.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
See, I'll go the opposite, Tyler, where for me, when compatibility comes up, I say toss the fucking thing out the window and play everything on cloud because the cloud's great and I love the cloud. Do I have better internet than you? Maybe. I don't know. But I like the cloud a lot. So I think that's even cheaper than the Series S. And I'm a cheapskate. I don't want to do that one.

You might have thought we got all the juice we could possibly get out of Phil Spencer yesterday. We milked him again today. Number one, Xbox boss Phil Spencer says Series S compatibility requirement isn't going away.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
This is Tom Ivan of EGC. Xbox boss Phil Spencer has reiterated that the company doesn't have any plans to allow the release of Series X exclusive games. It's currently a mandatory requirement for developers to ensure that their games are compatible with both the Series X and the Series S in order to release them on both of Microsoft's consoles.

You fucked it up. You fucked it up.

Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
But some developers have argued that having to cater to Microsoft's entry-level console limits the potential of current-gen games. In December 2023, Baldur's Gate 3 received a delayed release on Xbox Series X slash S after Microsoft allowed Larian Studios to launch the S version without split-screen co-op, a mode it had been struggling to get working sufficiently on the lower-powered console.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
And this month, Black Myth Wukong developer Game Science blamed the Series S console for the game's no-show on Xbox platforms. However, in a new interview with Destin Laguerre, Microsoft's gaming boss claimed that having, you know, I want a full stop too. Remember, of course, Destin went independent from IGN. He has his own YouTube channel.

You could put in Destin Laguerre, but it's Save State Plus. Is that right, Kev? Jerrica?

Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I don't like that people aren't citing the thing. It'd be like, Greg Miller interviewed. Yeah, but Greg Miller's got a website to go to. Chat, I'm right, right? Save State Plus. I want to make sure I'm not screwing it up. Thank you. Everybody's saying, yes, I am. Give Destin the click. Go over there. He interviewed me on the first one of his podcasts.

Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Then he had some jabroni named Phil Spencer show up. I don't know. Anyways, in an interview with Destin Laguerre on the show, Save State Plus. Microsoft's gaming boss claimed that having to develop games for Series S could be advantageous for studios targeting a variety of platforms, including handheld gaming systems.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Asked about the potential of dropping or relaxing Xbox Series S requirements, Spencer said, quote, In a way, I think about it in almost the exactly... In a way... In a way, I think about it in almost exactly the opposite way right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
With the rise of handheld PCs and even the introduction so far of the Switch 2, as developers were building on more device specs from lower powered, because they're battery powered devices, all the way through things that plug into the wall. I actually think we have a real advantage because we've seen targeting S for quite a while. We've been targeting S for quite a while.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
And our games have been built and they're portable across many different specs. So when we look at something like a Steam Deck or ROG Ally or something, we've got this S version of the games that are more tailored to the device specs of a lot of devices that, frankly, are getting introduced right now. And I think that helps us. End quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
He added in the newly published interview, quote, and frankly, the scalability of engines today allows them to scale from ray traced enabled multi-thousand dollar graphic cards on desktop PCs all the way through to a handheld battery powered device. So for me, S has been more helpful in our portfolio. End quote. Jerrica, a mouthful from Destin's safe state podcast.

Where do you come down on the S requirements?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
That's the thing, right? Where I feel like, well, first off, I want to call it live to die in the chat. Live chats like, oh, man, Greg's having a hard time reading. It must be an off day. try to read someone's direct quote out loud when people write in a far different way than they speak. So when Phil starts speaking and I'm trying to jump to what he's doing, he's using the wrong syntaxes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I agree. Reading is hard. I agree. Reading is hard, but I, let me get to what the next article is. Chris Scullion. There's a lot of quotes in that too. We'll see how it ends. You know, when I read the paragraph, somebody wrote, it's much different. I shut up. I shut up. Um, I'm with you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
The problem I have is that we have these two very publicized cases of, no, no, the Series S is really hard to work with. So you have Larian delaying Baldur's Gate, which of course sucks for the Xbox fan base. And then you have Black Myth Wukong Game Science being like, we didn't even come there because of it. And so for Phil to then be like, well, no, it's not that bad, actually.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
It's hard to really... I don't know. That's like, well, what's the truth, right? Where's the actual thing? For me, you know... I've talked for a long, long time about how I am dumb. And I love my consoles because I plug them in and I play them and they do what they do and I'm happy with them, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
And Series S is one of the few times in my life, I think, where I literally turn it on and I'm like, ooh. Like when I put it onto a TV, when I put it onto a monitor, not the little game screen I use that I plug in, right? My X screen, which I adore and love and it's great for traveling. But playing at my desk the other day, I was doing something on Starfield.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I needed, oh, when they put out the Doom stuff. Jumping in to Starfield again on my Series S on the actual computer monitor, I was like, this is so ugly that I jumped out and instead booted it up on cloud on my phone to play to actually go through and do it because it was just so jaggy and muddy and not looking great, right? And so the fact that me, someone who is...

I don't know. Do you like it? Do you like having the deeper, raspier voice?

Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
the lowest common denominator. Even I'm looking like, oh, I can't do, I couldn't, I don't want to do this. That's not good. No, exactly. The Series S is really cool and really brilliant. And obviously there's so many games that look fine on it. But when we are talking about bigger things, we are talking about what the Switch 2 is actually going to be in power.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
We're talking about what my Steam Deck looks like when I play a game there. I don't know if the argument Phil's making holds water, but he would know better than me because he is talking to so many developers and I'm just having these two instances.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Series S Compatibility isn’t Going Away, Says Phil Spencer - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
In the Super Chats, which we have many coming in, thank you so much, Lightning does point out Phil can't abandon the Series S because it makes up about 50% of current Xbox users. But, as you mentioned, multiple devs have had issues supporting us. And that is the thing that we talk all the time. We talked about it yesterday, talking about Phil and all these interview quotes of... Do you like Phil?

Has he been good? Has he been bad? Blah, blah, blah. And the fact that you say something and then you are held to it the rest of your life when you're in these positions of power. And so force Xbox to have come out and been like, hey, this generation is split in two. We have the X, we have the S. Obviously, now there's the play on a screen thing.

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?

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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
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.

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.

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
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Damn, fuck.

I don't want him giving questions.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I still haven't watched The Heat, so it wouldn't help me out one second. One day, I'll get him, and I'll get my three stars.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I do believe Kojima Productions or Sony. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
That's superfluous. I rest my case. You say you're excited. How excited for Death Stranding 2 are you? Very excited.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
June 26th is the release date there for Death Stranding 2. Running out of time to replay Death Stranding 1, which I'd like to do.
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 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?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Man, that guy's a beast out there. He's a beast out there. I digress, of course. No books tossed away, no big deal. Like, subscribe, share. Of course, if you have Amazon Prime, you have Twitch Gaming, Prime Gaming, whatever they call it now, Twitch Prime. It's a free 30-day sub. You can give away to a channel of your choice. Why not give it to us, even if you're not on Twitch?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
And so the moment passed. So I am not, oh, my God, I can't fucking wait for Death Stranding 2, but it's Kojima. And it's the sequel to a game I really enjoyed. 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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I want to go have stuff with black stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
No, I think it's too crazy. This might hit you a little bit differently now. The story of BB and fucking Sam Porter Bridges the last time around, that still hit. That still hit hard. That end, when he says the name, hell yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
We'll have to wait and see, everybody. June 26th is not far away, but neither is May 8th, when Dan Reichert will talk about it on GameSpot, but you assume Blessing will talk about it here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

You watched Snow Mike Mike Go's big DVD? How great would it be if he just gave it back? He just shakes his head like, no.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
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. Housekeeping for you. We're an 11-person business all about live talk shows. Immediately after Kind of Funny Games Daily, you're getting the one, the only, the Kind of Funny Games cast.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
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
So it all worked out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Hitman's a fun, fine game. It's not Metal Gear, though. You know what I mean? Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Don't worry about it. And then your final full item, number four on the Roper Report. Let's talk about your Switch pre-order times.

Getting your Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order will be a big deal, a huge deal. Some would say the largest deal of all time. But I'm sick of this big news and large news and huge news. If I wanted something small, say the tiniest news I need to know about, where would I go?
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.

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.

Experience everything Oblivion has to offer with previously released story expansions, Shivering Isles, Knights of the Nine, and additional downloadable content included in Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered. Snow, bike, mic. I, of course... I'm a Bethesda sicko. You know how much I love these games. You know how much I love Starfield. We can go back through all of them. I never played Oblivion.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
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.
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.
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 never, ever played this. So I am very interested. I'm downloading Oblivion at my desk right now on the Xbox and, of course, on my ROG Ally X so I can take it anywhere with me with the power of Xbox.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
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.
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, yeah. That's great. But you, of course, were a big Oblivion fan.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
Yeah, that's the hope, right? Reading from the Xbox Wire, of course, they have a much deeper dive on this, but what I appreciate for them pulling out here is this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
It also has new quality of life improvements to the original game, including HUD, menu, and map reworks, improved UI for systems like persuasion, clairvoyance, and more, modifications to leveling, encumbrance, non-combat perks, and other mechanics, improved enemy scaling, enhanced accessibility features, additional auto-saves, revised first-person and third-person camera, and much more.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
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
I do believe the reporting I heard. Give me the reporting. Was that you texted Roger last night, work tomorrow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
And one of the comments there explaining it was that it's still the Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion game engine as the brain, but the body is this Unreal Engine 5 running on top of it. So... I think that's where we get into it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
We've argued this all the time, but I think it is the fact that they didn't touch, and I know we just listed a bunch of things, but it sounds like they didn't touch the core engine of what the game is. And so that would then disqualify it from being a remake, at least in their eyes. We're all with you. I have the chart over here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I think if you go from the ground up, that's a remake, obviously.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
I don't think there was a you in there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
If you want to go up, you can go to $60 for Oblivion Remastered Deluxe Edition. Of course, reading a little bit from that on the Xbox Wire goes like this. Available for purchase separately or as an upgrade to the base game. So again, just $10 if you're using Game Pass.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Out Now, $50 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.22.25
The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered Deluxe Edition includes all of the above and adds bonus quests, unique weapon sets, unique armor sets, unique horse armor sets, digital art book, and official soundtrack. There's more to go. Get that if you want.

Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Druckmann did not say which director is working on the second game, however. Quote, there's another game that's being worked on now where I'm more of a producer. I see, I see. I was confusing myself. Thank you very much. And I get to mentor it. I could see this being an Uncharted. Again, there are so many rumors and thoughts we always start with of, well, is it an Uncharted?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And is it spoilers for Uncharted 4? Spoilers for Uncharted 4? Spoilers for Uncharted 4? Picking up with Nate and Alina's daughter. Is that what we're going to do? Which would be banger and would be fun. It would be great. And it would be a good time to pass that torch, especially considering... I think of Uncharted as a collaborative effort when you look around at the hands that have touched that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Anything with your hands on you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Obviously, all due respect to Amy, who championed Uncharted for so long, obviously was working on Uncharted 4, left, came, blah, blah, blah, and this whole thing changes and evolves into what it became with Neil and Bruce being on top of that after doing that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
But that's never to take away from what Neil and Bruce had done for Uncharted beforehand, which is where I originally met Neil way back in the day. let alone Kurt, let alone Sean, let alone everybody who's touching Uncharted. Uncharted, more people have had their hands on the ball than Last of Us, which I think is so personal to Neil Druckmann. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Where I wouldn't see Neil Druckmann, yeah, not being a... Last of Us Part III is a Neil Druckmann game, period. I think. Then I think you look at an Uncharted, it would be interesting to see, all right, young dogs, even though if it's a Kurt, you've been there forever and so many other people have been there forever, right? And Sean's back, right? Like you're there, you're working on this thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
It isn't Uncharted, but it's your Uncharted.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Sure, I know, but I'm just saying, like, I think there's other people like Kurt that I'm just not on a first-name basis with or know that well enough to insult at the last of his party every time I see him and call his car the wrong car. I think there's other people like that that have a lineage at, so I don't want to make it sound like young dogs like you just got here. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Somebody's hearing that like, Greg, I've been here eight, nine years.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Volk Dash, your super chat's in. It says, the multiplayer game was a Last of Us 2 add-on first. A lot was done, and the team was largely new hires, and a third team, hence team all being let go after. My bet is Uncharted Reboot and IG for main two teams. Intergalactic for the main two teams. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. I thought we were going more with a multiplayer vibe there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
It was just a giant run-on sentence that I lost my place in. Killian C. says, Personally, I'm at a point where I'd love Naughty Dog just to do new things from here on out. New directors, let's do new things. I don't expect The Last of Us 3. You're silly not to expect Last of Us 3 with the success of the show, the success of the game, the way people love The Last of Us, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Even though a lot of people love to hate The Last of Us. But I think the new directors, let's do new things. I think that's where, again, it gets super exciting to do an uncharted whatever you call this. Uncharted whatever this trilogy, legacy, whatever it's going to be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And if it is Nate's daughter and Nate is Sully, it's Nate's daughter and Nate's never in it except the final fucking thing or maybe never in it. I think there's a lot of fun you can have with it of like, all right, new directors, go make this new thing that people love.

Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And I think that, again, you can do Uncharted and have that be new but old. And it is new directors, new take, new character. You know, CJ Splitson steals the word from my mouth, right? Caitlin Dever's right there as Cassie Drake again. Remember, she played Cassie Drake in Uncharted 4. Now she, of course, is starring as Abby in the last of a season two season.

Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
But anyways, people from Naughty Dog TV projects being pulled into the game and vice versa. I feel like, again, they like working with Caitlyn clearly so much that she'd be excited to continue on with that and get in there and do that thing.

You're not wrong, but again, they starved us. They starved us for so long of Crash. We've been starved of Jack even longer. Not Sly. Y'all didn't support Sly when he came back. Y'all act like you did. You didn't, though, did you? Y'all act like you did. You didn't, though. Remember, it was cross-play on your Vita and your PlayStation. You didn't support that, though, did you? You didn't?

No, you didn't. No, you didn't. Y'all act like you did, but you didn't. You should have convinced your little mainstream friends with their Walmart inserts and the Sunday paper to go buy it, but you didn't. And look where you are now. Do you enjoy your Fortnite skins and AI? It's your fucking fault. You should have bought the Vita. Always comes back.

Don't even try to fucking besmirch Freedom War's name right now, all right? Tens of people are playing that. Tens of people are playing that. That's true, yeah. I didn't say to green light it. I didn't say fucking remaster it. Jim C. Superchats, I've heard a lot of people complain that we might only get one new Naughty Dog game for the PlayStation 5 generation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
But am I crazy to think we might see the same case for Sony Santa Monica, Sucker Punch, and Ben's Studio? Uh, Jim, you're only crazy because I would predict you get zero Ben games. I don't think you're going to see, I mean, other than days gone remaster, which we're not counting. I don't think you're going to see a Ben game for this generation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Um, and then Sony Santa Monica, whatever the fuck's going on with Corey's game, his space game, rumored space game, right? And then Sucker Punch, yeah, you're going to get Ghost of Yotei, and that'll be the end of that. So no, you're not crazy, Jim.

I don't think Naughty Dog does smaller things. What about Uncharted with Chloe and Nadine? You know what I mean.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Uncharted... Lost Legacy. Anyways, that's smaller. When I'm thinking of a small game from Naughty Dog, I'm not even thinking of that. I think that's still the right size.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
So to swing in here and have this conversation, what do you think it is? CJ splits on Super Chat and says possibility of Naughty Dog doing two new IPs? I mean, that's possible. Look, we're getting Last of Us 3.

I guess it's not... I go, wow, and then I'm like, well, again, with how the generations work now, that doesn't sound as crazy. I think Last of Us 3 is going to come out either... at launch with PlayStation 6 or into the PlayStation 6 lifecycle. And it could be playable on PS5. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not against that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
But I don't think it's imminent like that.

Yeah, exactly, right? And that is the thing of whatever. It's more the interesting thing. I miss reading this when we talk about what's going on here. On Intergalactic, The Heretic Prophet. Again, we will now call it ITHP. Druckmann works with two game directors, Matthew Gallant and Kurt Marganow, and is co-writing the game with narrative director Claire Carey.

Honestly, I think all of those are an uphill battle. None of those are like, here's a guaranteed hit. Here's a guaranteed success. I would put resistance over Killzone. Chat, let me know if I'm crazy. I would say that more people care and are like, where's resistance for? Where's resistance for? Then where's another Killzone? No offense to the Killzone community. I know you exist out there.

PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
SOCOM, people are shouting out, SOCOM, it feels too grounded. People can fly. Bulletstorm, Outriders. I think you could have them do... Even saying this, I think Killzone makes more sense of... We're going to do a third-person Killzone game that is... Whatever. Squad-based. We're going off doing this thing. I don't know. We're the last people behind Helgen lines. Something like that. Maybe.

PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
money in those hills exactly right i know there's a community for each of those all three of those games but i just don't know to the mainstream how you break through and make that make sense but if people can fly can make it work again with not it being this like thing that needs to live forever or whatever perhaps that could be easiest way right i i would spin it up right and i'm just going to copy outriders is that you're a team of humans sent to the actual chimeron planet which we've never actually done stuff on right to actually try to take out the chimeron throne
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
So this is resistance. So you'd get there and then it's the same idea of you're building a base, you're doing your thing, you're running missions, going out and getting stuff. But again, I'm just copying Outriders, which I'm sure is not what they're doing.

I thought you were going to say where it was based.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
Surprising. I think we've seen so much recently, right, with PlayStation Studios closing, laying people off, canceling projects, that we've really been like, oh, they must be battening down the hatches. They must be tightening everything up over there and trying to figure out how to get through this current wave of economic, not woes, but season we're in, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
So to see them come out here and launch something new is interesting, especially bringing in the guy who was one of the co-founders here of Deviation, right? Not any shade to Deviation, but it was another one, right? That didn't get a chance to release his debut project, an original IP set to be on PlayStation platform. It's interesting that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
PlayStation is still engaging this way, and it really does speak to whatever this studio is pitching and whatever they're working on and making the case for making a new thing. So, I mean, hats off to them. I think it's an interesting one. You can go a lot of different ways with this one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
If we wanted to be negative, negative, you could be, but more jobs in the video game industry are always good, so them doing this is good, even though, yes, we've seen PlayStation close other studios, but again... If that studio is not making the thing you want and that isn't the team to make those things, I can't really fault them for that with the exception of this live service push.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
We get into the weeds and we start really having to have a conversation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
That's a great question. No, I don't think so. You throw a rock and talk to a developer. You throw a rock at GDC right now, you'll hit three people who worked on Call of Duty. We had people here yesterday making indie games that have obviously nothing to do with Call of Duty or first-person shooting, and they worked on Call of Duty at some point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
So I don't read into that and go, oh, it's going to be a first-person shooter, oh, it's going to be a zombie gamer, anything like that. I think it's just that... Call of Duty seems to be attached to so many different people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
And I'd imagine that that gives you such a great working relationship with teams and a project that big to then take the, the hope would be, of course, at least for me and all the studios we've seen fail, is that you've been a part of a giant team before. So let's take those giant team ideas of how we talk to each other and work and make a smaller project, a much smaller project, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
I think if we wanted to go, man, maybe PlayStation learn some lessons here or not even learn lessons. Herman's in charge and he's doing this and that's what he wants. He wants studios focused on making a double a sized game with a triple a style pedigree or something like that. You know what I mean? Whatever tacky or where do you want to tack onto it? Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
I think that could be the case of, yeah, we had zombies and look at how big that mode got. Right. So now we are going to go and make, this game X that is a smaller idea, infinitely replayable, because that's what everybody wants, right? In terms of video game people, right? And we're going to go through and churn it and it'll be fast.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Images from the game were found in the website files of the developer Virtuous before being removed. The images, which can still be seen on hosting site Imgur, include several side-by-side comparisons between the game's 2006 release and the remaster. Several photos show off remastered environments, including one featuring an Oblivion gate.

Those documents were part of Microsoft's presentation on its then-pending acquisition of ZeniMax Studios, which the company bought in 2021 for $7.5 billion dollars. Other games from that presentation included a Fallout 3 remaster, another game in the Dishonored franchise, and something known as Doom Year Zero, which very much sounds like Doom the Dark Ages, which launches in May.

According to reporting from The Verge's Tom Warren, Microsoft planned to release the remaster sometime late spring or early summer.

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.

Where it's like, again, I look at those images and I'm like, damn, that looks awesome. That looks really great. But it does say remastered, not remake. So if it is just a weird up-res of it, to some degree, I get the, cool, it's out now. Which, of course, they've already fucked up, sadly. Because guess what? You can have nothing nice in video games. Only Nintendo can really do this.

And even they fuck it up sometimes. So then I would get, if it's just a prettier version of the same game, go for it. But where we were last time was, the rumors were of systems that were completely redone.

The movie has sort of the same tone and the same vibe, but it expands upon the universe. I'm very proud to be part of this evolution onto a screen.

No. Open zone. Yeah, I think it will lean... There'll be more Seattles from Last of Us 2 and more Madagascar from Uncharted 4 type things than there were in those two games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
I just honestly feel like for the people that rock with Naughty Dog, I feel like they're going to deliver. I think that there is obviously a rising trend of people that don't like video games, period, that I do think might hinder this having the level of effect that Last of Us did when it first came out. But I think that there's a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
separate amount of people that just enjoy these type of games no matter what. And I think that Last of Us being on HBO also has opened up a whole new group of gamers for the first time. And I think that, hey, from the creators of

we really don't give Naughty Dog's combat enough credit for how much it's evolved since Uncharted 1.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
I feel like a lot of people kind of act like, oh man, but the combat in this game sucks. And it's like, well, if you look at it as comparing it to modern games and how they feel to Uncharted 1 and how the kind of monster closet shooting felt, it's like, yeah, sure. Games today feel better, right? But I do think Last of Us 2...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
in many ways, is only rivaled by, like, Phantom Pain to me in terms of how a character controls and the moveset for the type of game it was trying to be.

doing stuff and it's gonna feed it's like i'm not gonna see the dna of last of us and uncharted in it uh i think you still will okay i i think that and i i think that that's a good thing too because i i also feel like playing last of us 2 most of it is stealth but i do feel like it gives you the ability to get in there and even if you have the knife or just how quickly you can switch the weapons and stuff i understand it it is still grounded and it is when it's not devil may cry
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Why are they screening it in 40 years? Because the movie is all about Jack Quaid not feeling pain. Sure. So they're like, let's just put him through as much painful situations as possible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
But I don't think this will be either. I also don't think it's going to be like souls like necessarily. But I do think that it will be faster. Obviously, if you give a character a sword, you got to get up close and personal and move quickly. Like that's compared to Ellie or Joel, who is like more gun focused, right? Yeah, I think they're going to nail it combat wise.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
That stuff I thought was so cool that I feel like it was such a, I mean, I guess some ways on the nose, but I think they pulled it off of delivering on what Last of Us 1 had with kind of like Bill's story stuff. Yeah. by their storytelling shit, but this was more obviously part of the main plot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
But anytime we'd come to a room and they would have stuff like that, I was like, ooh, this is so cool, especially with how they built out the Seraphites otherwise. But at the end of the day, it did feel... I don't want to say undercooked. It just wasn't the focus of the game, right? It was just like a... very large side portion of supporting Ellie and Abby's story, right? Yeah, of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25

But that... already exists, right? Like, that is the AI that's existed in games. I think developers create that artificial intelligence to be able to link things and remember things and if this, then that, and all that stuff. Like, this is just a new level of, like, generating things. That, again, the generative AI is the problem.

The other AI is tech that is a tool that you're using and it's up to you how you use it. Obviously, any tool can be used for good or bad. You can kill people with a hammer. I've seen it done.

They really took the premise and were like, how far can we take this? The moment this movie ended, I was like, I hope it does well because I can't wait to see what a sequel could do. Oh, really?

Um, and they translate, I think over time, even better and better to video games. And, uh, you know, once I, what was it like early two thousands when Lego finally did the, not finally when they first did the star Wars, uh, like episode one, like that was the game changer for Lego.

you know the best way i think to kind of like tell roger made a really good point about like they should make a superman game lego game based on the james gunn superman movie to allow that movie and the lore of that movie in the world of that movie to live and breathe with children in a different way so that it's ingrained in them you know what i mean yeah stories and characters to to to matter and the themes and morals and all that stuff um i'm going on a big tangent here
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
My point is, Lego's very important to video games, and this seems like a bad move to me because starting fresh is very difficult. We've seen it in Marvel games. Partnering seems to be, like, the right move. Yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
No, but I don't know, though. Look at Horizon, right? Maybe that is evidence that it doesn't work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
But it wasn't, though. That is a different take. That is going to a studio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Well, Lego Fortnite, right? Isn't that a great example? Yes. Of, like, the building stuff? Yeah, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Brick by brick. I'm bricked up just thinking about it now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Lego is interesting, though, too, because of the licensing and how complicated that must be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
like all right cool so they have lego and then they have batman but it's like so they can make a lego batman game but i'm sure they need to pay dc and like what's that all look like and what well honestly probably is the other way right where it's probably they have to pay lego dc has to pay lego yeah well i mean no it's wb has to pay yeah wb who owns dc who has to do this yeah i think they have to pay lego more than lego has to pay them
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Because I'm talking about even the source of it, like the Legos themselves. Who pays who?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Interesting. You know, there's been a lot of conversations stemming from Moon Studios, a lot of them very negative, skewing about workplace situations and just kind of attitudes overall, but also really high quality game releases and really high quality, even early access here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Um, so, and obviously I'm a very big fan of the, the Ori games. Um, I'm interested in this. I feel like, you know, we are definitely in, in scramble mode, 2025 of like how to get games out, how to make money from the games and whatever is the best way to make that happen. We should probably do that and get as many people out of the cookie jar as possible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
So I'm going to take this as good news overall. I do have faith in them. I think this game is going to come together very well. And yeah, it sounds like Executing Vision without restrictions. They are the type of team and this is the type of game that I think could really gain a lot from that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
we just can't have anything nice you know what i mean like it's like good news good news all right fuck you remember this is all bad right yeah i mean you know this is interesting because like i don't i don't know where it all shakes out of like where the the right people are where the wrong people are um but uh just taking this for what it's worth here uh very talented team is making a follow-up to one of the biggest surprise hits of the last 10 years right yeah people love it yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
indie game success like Disco Elysium I think is very high on the list maybe not a level of like a Celeste or something but I think that is more about genre than anything like I think the success of Disco Elysium pulling in people that have not played that type of game before is very telling that it's worth it because of how good it is it can pull you in even though it is a bit deeper and heavier of a genre than a platformer
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Uh, but no, the one through 11 song I know, and I don't even know what it is. Is it down? Is down a song? Yeah. Yeah. It was down because I accidentally downloaded a mashup of tipsy and down.

Very, very, very cool series. Tell me about it. I didn't get to finish it yet, but I was like popping in. I was like, oh, I definitely bookmarked this to come back to later. It's just different creators coming together to have a conversation. And yeah, Druckmann, obviously a lot of insight, but always really cool hearing him talk, especially to other creators that are luminaries in many spaces.

Get him, Neil. Interesting stuff. A lot to break down here. I feel like overall, very exciting. I could not be more excited for this game. Everything we saw from that trailer, everything we know from this team, I'm here for. Kevin, can you just play that beautiful trailer in the background while we talk? I love that goddamn thing so much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
The idea of the timeline deviating in the 80s, and we already see in that trailer there is things left over that maybe they're advanced, but it's still very 80s tech. Of course, yeah. Very cool. Love that aesthetic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Yeah. Awesome. But the one thing that I'm like, I was saying before the show that I'm a little bit like trepidatious about is the you're alone. You're a bounty hunter alone. The very Samus Aran type take on this. And they even say there that the previous games Uncharted and Last of Us are you have an ally.

You weren't fucking living. You weren't partying.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
And to me, that's where the writing of Naughty Dog and the quality of it really shines through the most previously. Obviously, that can change. I'm here for whatever they can do. And again, I'm a creature of habit. I like the things I like. Um, but I hearing this, it doesn't get me excited. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Because like, I just feel like so much of the, the joy I get from playing Naughty Dog games is Elena making a comment to you. You know what I mean? Like all that stuff. Right. Yeah. Um, or just like Allie, like talk, you have just having that constant chatter and like, maybe they find ways to do it. Uh, but. That's my gut reaction to that little bit.

It's in the same vein of 2021's remasters in Tony Hawk's 1 and 2. with modern graphics and familiar gameplay. But this time it's being done by developer Iron Galaxy, known for porting games and original releases such as Rumbleverse and Killer Instinct. As far as content goes, it will feature all the skateparks from both games, as well as a new one teased at the end of the reveal trailer.

While several songs you remember in the old games will return for the soundtrack, there aren't many details on which one quite yet, except for Amoeba by The Ascendants and Ace of Spades by Motorhead. Damn cool. I mean, man. Dream come true shit. And this is one step closer to Tony Hawk's Underground remake.

Gotta have the feel. Gotta have it on the sticks. Und dann PrettyDude, closing out our Tony Hawk session, says, Iron Galaxy recently had some layoffs. Does this help them? Maybe secure future Tony Hawk games? Well, keep in mind, this announcement isn't starting from zero today. So they already were working on Tony Hawk when they had the layoffs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
So I don't, I mean, yeah, if this is a huge success and they make more Tony Hawk games, then that ensures the future of the studio. But I don't know if it's going to lead to hiring more people or anything like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Sure. This is crazy. Is it a fan outcry? Is this Phil Spencer over there making things happen?

So you want Dave Lang and Tony Hawk. Yes. They don't have to be at the same time, but that could be kind of fun, actually. Okay. I appreciate that. We'll try to make that happen.

The Far Cry Extraction-based multiplayer shooter under codename Maverick has been rebooted. Insider Gaming has learned. Project Maverick, was zuerst als Multiplayer-Komponent für Far Cry 7 geplant war, warf sich in sein eigenes Projekt in Anfang 2023. Aber nach internen Reviews wurde das Projekt wiederhergestellt. Das ist, wie man von vielen Gründen kennt, mit dem Entwicklung des Projekts.

Wer hat gesagt, dass das Buch auf der Wand war für einige Monate? Es wurde gesagt, dass der letzte Knall in der Koffer kam nach seinem dedizierten Technik-Team, namens Talisker. It's understood that Ubisoft Montreal, the studio heading both Maverick and Blackbird, parentheses Far Cry 7, will take the multiplayer game back to prototyping with Ubisoft Sherbrooke. Ubisoft Berlin, who?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Ubisoft in any fucking city. Ubisoft Berlin... For Mavericks reboot is unclear. But the decision seems to have been made as part of Ubisoft's new strategy to streamline its teams and projects amid the company's struggles. That being said, some on the Blackbird project feel like a 2026 release date is fairly optimistic with the project bloating in headcount and budget.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Ubisoft ist ein Soufflé. It was rising in the oven so long, and it was doing really well. And then once it collapsed, it was too big. It's collapsed. There's nothing we can do. The souffle has collapsed. It is fucked city. What are we going to do? How do you save this? You start closing off all these places. And I'm not saying this with any joy in my voice. You close up Ubisoft Berlin.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
You close up Ubisoft Sherbrooke. You close up Ubisoft Tucson. All these fucking places. You're going to have to... Ja, ich weiß. What the fuck is gonna happen? That game is gonna come out and based on the preview me and Barrett did, it's another Assassin's Creed, which tanked my excitement for it, because they had talked about it being something different. Like, not different, but being evolved.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
And then I played it like, oh, this is Assassin's Creed, which I am not jonesing to drop another 20, 30, 40 hours into and go do everything.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
And that's the problem with it, right, is like, for Assassin's Creed and looking at it like this and talking about it like this and where we're at with the Ubisoft timeline right now, like... It is... Es ist unmöglich für Assassin's Creed zu tun, was diese Firma es braucht. Dieses Spiel müsste 10 auf der Bühne sein und größer als GTA auf dem ersten Tag sein, um das zu sein.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
I don't expect Assassin's Creed to be able to do anything, but I think people must be hoping. I imagine that launches and you see more layoffs. I feel like the news is going to be so bleak and dire.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Exactly, right? Making something original and creating something that's all your own. You don't have to worry about a license holder who has the IP.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
And it's crossed the line that he may never come back from. Number four. Iconic game publisher Acclaim has been resurrected. Great news. Then the headline continues with wrestler Jeff Jarrett as an advisor. Horrible news. Man's a fucking cancer to wrestling. And he hit me with a guitar. It's him. He cut my face. You were here for it.

Again, full stop. All of that great news. Of course, as you're well aware... Not as much money being thrown around the video game industry to make video games anymore. Which is really rough for independent content creators, indie developers. And of course, tough for the big ones too, as you see so many layoffs on top of each other.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
So someone entering the space and saying, hey, we want to make indie games. And hey, we want to do our own classic IP. People making games, publishers putting money into the video game landscape ecosystem. All fantastic news. Here is where it goes into the shitter.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Nun, okay. Also, lasst uns das beobachten, bevor wir wieder zu Jeff Jarrett zurückgehen und den Scheiß aus diesem alten Mann auslösen.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
And of course what you'd have popping off, which I appreciate, is that this is, who I don't know, Alex Joseph, former founder and CEO of Graffiti Games, Turnip Boy commits tax evasion. Like, I remember when we were talking about that one here and there on the shows. Like, that's a true indie game. That's a true thing that's happening, right? So this isn't,

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
And hey, if you understand what you're doing with IP, we just jumped off of Shredders Revenge. I think there's something there. I don't expect them to come in and be like, we're going to make combo-based wrestling games. I guess that's my problem here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Ja, ich glaube, dass ich mich damit nicht so sehr interessiert.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Interesting. See, I don't see that. I think this would be the chance to give the next .emu a chance to come in and work on an IP people care about. Rather than you be this indie, barely making it, and then you make a game that doesn't resonate or could resonate, could be huge, whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
But hey, we're going to have these IPs, God knows what they're going to be, and we're going to work with those, and we're going to go do that. I think there's a chance there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Of course, the biggest problem is having Jeff Jarrett in there. Jeff Jarrett, of course, a clown professional wrestler who hit me with a guitar, as everyone knows.

You, sir, you costed me.

From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Das ist komplett neu. Und das ist, glaube ich, das, was wirklich interessant ist, wo sie gerade sind. Und ich bin ziemlich optimistisch mit einigen Worten, die ich hier benutzen werde. Aber ich fühle mich mit der Kreativität und Vertrauen, die From Software verdient hat, dass sie in der Position sind, dass Elden Ring 2 großartig sein muss. Es kann nicht einfach gut sein.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Und das ist, warum ich sage, dass es, während es ein sequeltes Elden Ring da draußen sein würde, eine Menge Geld bringen wird. I feel like they know the smarter move for themselves in the industry.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
An industry that in many ways they are, this might be exaggerating, just a bit, redefining what success can look like as both a single player game publisher, but also having the co-op and multiplayer elements to it, right? I feel like they are in a place right now where they have proven that they can try different things and find success with that. And then they can
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
put all their eggs into the basket of a giant, ambitious project like Elden Ring and knock it out of the park. Take your time with Elden Ring 2. We will get a sequel to Elden Ring. Like, we just will. I feel like there's not a chance. Really? Okay. I feel like there's not a chance we don't. I feel like it's too big of a brand. There's too much lore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
There's too much world there that they're going to want to continue. And, you know, some of the wording here that they have of like Elden Ring IP developing in some form in the future, a movie, a TV show, something like that. Ich denke, dass es wahrscheinlich irgendwo eine Art davon sein wird. Ich denke, wir werden einen Elden Ring 2 Videogame irgendwann bekommen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Ich denke nicht, dass es bald sein wird. Ich denke nicht, dass es bald sein muss, weil sie haben andere Projekte, die sie zurücknehmen können. Ich erinnere mich daran, als sie zuerst erklärten, dass die Schatten zweimal sterben. Wir bekommen diesen Teaser. Ich glaube, es war der Game Awards. Und jeder versucht herauszufinden, ob es Bloodborne 2 ist oder ob es eine neue Sache ist. Sekiro.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Ich denke, die höchste Wahrscheinlichkeit ist, dass wir das jetzt bekommen werden. Wir werden noch etwas Neues bekommen. Oder einen Rückzug zu etwas anderem wie Tenchu, den die Leute von Shadows Die Twice erwarteten. Ja, Tenchu!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Ich weiß nicht, ich denke, dass es viele Möglichkeiten gibt, dass sie zurückkommen und mehr Building-Blocks, Armored-Core-Level-Successen haben, während sie auf einem größeren Projekt im Hintergrund arbeiten. We gotta talk about Bloodborne 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
I mean, that is, I think, the biggest real point of line of questioning that we're at right now. Last week, two weeks ago, there was all those reports of potentially Sony acquiring the company that also includes from software. That would be a then game changer. So clearly conversations we know are happening Ich glaube, PlayStation will Bloodborne 2. Ich glaube, sie wollen Bloodborne 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Dann sollten sie den ersten Rematch machen. Geben den Leuten, was wir wollen. Ja, ich weiß. Und das ist ein interessanter Ort. Ich fühle mich, dass sich Dinge da in einem seltsamen Weg befinden. Aber sie wissen klar, dass sie die Liebe für Bloodborne verstehen. Warum sie nichts darüber machen und warum sie es nicht remastert haben. Sie haben einen 60 FPS Patch gelegt, etwas so etwas.

From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Ja, es ist ein bisschen bewilligend an diesem Punkt, aber es muss ein Grund sein, warum. Verstehst du, was ich meine?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Weil sie klar wissen. Das 30. Jahrhundert-Playstation-Spiel von gestern endet auf Bloodborne. Das ist verrückt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
But they already have some stake in it. I feel like it's not, oh, somebody else is trying to. I think it's theirs if they have the capital and if they have the desire. And again, we're not talking about PlayStation. We're talking about Sony here, and we're talking about things way above from software. But that includes from software, which I think is such an interesting wrinkle in all this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
If I was from software, I don't want to be exclusive. You want to be multiplat. You want to be in as many places as possible because you want your game to sell like hotcakes. And they've proven they've got the ability to do that on every single console that they're on. Elder Ring sells well everywhere that it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
So I think that to them would be the reason for them not to do a Bloodborne 2 because that would be exclusive and that would require a dump truck of money. An welchem Punkt ist das Geld einfach nicht wert? Weil sie einfach mehr Multiplattformen machen können. Und wenn du erworben wirst, bekommst du keine Entscheidung. Jemand über dich macht das richtig. Aber ich fühle mich, dass wir da sind.

Und dann schaust du dir Square Enix an. Und die Verzweiflung von Final Fantasy 16 und 7 Remake exklusiv auf PS5. Es hat den Verkauf von zwei tollen Videospielen beeinflusst. Und ich denke, dass...

From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
I actually think that Blizzard is an amazing company to bring up there, where I do think that FromSoftware has a market dominance now in a way that... Blizzard in den 90ern und 2000ern mit Starcraft und Warcraft und all of the crafts. You know what I mean? But they had them all. And I do feel like there is that level of trust. And again, it's that trifecta that is so...

Wir haben einen Super-Chat von BAM255019 gesagt, ich weiß nicht, ob Final Fantasy nicht multiplatformiert ist. Entschuldigung, ich glaube nicht, dass Final Fantasy nicht multiplatformiert ist. Ich habe es gehört, dass es so schlecht ist, wie es gesagt wird. Schau dir Final Fantasy 16 Sales auf PC an, es ist unter einem halben Millionen. Aber ich denke, ein großer Teil davon ist der Marketing-Push.

From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Es bekommt keinen zweiten großen Marketing-Push, wenn es ein Jahr später kommt oder was auch immer auf dem PC. Es ist, wenn es täglich multiplatformiert war. dann ist es die Leidenschaft, als die Leute darüber reden, und es wird überprüft und mehr Leute haben das Spiel zugänglich, wie es auf TV-Kommunikationen für das Projekt ist und die Seiten von Busen und Tränen und all that stuff.

Die Firma hatte ein Jahr mit Höhen und Löhnen mit dem phänomenalen Erfolg seines PlayStation 5 Konzels und Games Offset durch große Arbeitslose in einem Pattern, der sich über die Industrie erweitert hat.

From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Advances in technology have the potential to allow many of the mundane parts of game development to become automated. But it has also caused deep unease that AI systems will also take over the creative process, with voice actors in the US striking over fears the tech could be used to replace them.

Mr. Holst acknowledged AI was changing gaming, but said there would always be a future for human developers. Quote, Quote, Quote, Certain aspects of Concord were exceptional, but others did not land with enough players and as a result we took the game offline, Hulse said at the time.

Mr. Nishino said the way players play games is changing and pointed to its handheld PlayStation portal, a cross between a controller and a screen, which he said has been a huge success.

That is the conversation dominating every tech field that there is, video games being a tech field. They're talking here about needing the combination between people and this and having different audiences for that. I do think that there is truth there, but I also think the reality is I don't think the majority are ever going to accept AI taking over creative fields.

Switch 2 Accessories sind sehenswürdig bereits auf Verkauf durch chinesische Verkäufer. Das kommt von Ollie Reynolds at Nintendo Life. Nintendo isn't likely to reveal the highly anticipated Switch 2 before the end of this year, but that apparently hasn't stopped Chinese vendors from selling accessories for the console via wholesale platform Alibaba.

Weißt du was ich meine? Da gibt es einige weitere Details, die ich hinzufügen möchte. Während es nicht möglich ist, die exakten Dimensionen des Konzels selbst zu bestätigen, ist es klar, dass es viel größer werden wird als der Switch oder der Switch OLED. Es enthält zwei Späße, in denen die Konsole, Schulterknöpfe und Trigger befinden.

Wenn das nicht genug Beweis ist, ist ein Bild eines sogenannten Switch-2-Bildschirmprotektors auch gezeigt worden.

Es ist Standard-Praktik für Accessorie-Manufacturer, dass man vorher die Spezifikationen eines Konzels bemerkt, um Produkte in der Zeit für den Launch des Konzels zu kreieren. Das gesagt, macht euch sicher, dass ihr dieses letzte Nugget von Informationen mit so viel Skepsis wie alles, was wir über Switch 2 wissen, so weit. Wir werden es nicht wissen, bis Nintendo offiziell dazu kommt. Interessant.

So I will say that in the history of iPhones, I feel like the make and look of an iPhone has been leaked ahead of time. Maybe nine out of ten times because of things like this, because of the accessories and cases and those things being built based off of information that they got prior to manufacturing or prior to announcement of the new product.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
So this type of thing is common in tech and is common to kind of reveal information that's not ready to be out there yet. I think another great example is Legos kind of spoiling moments from upcoming movies because we get sets and they've essentially had to like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
come up with weird things that aren't even in the movie just to get around it and be more themed in vibes instead of spoiling characters in movies or the big finale or whatever. But when it comes to this, I'm at the point with the Switch 2 stuff that people want their weird five seconds of fame of putting something out there and being the guy that revealed all this stuff.

I feel like the Nintendo League culture has a lot of toxicity and a lot of Pick-me-Pick-me-Vibes, um zu verstehen, was die Wahrheit ist. Also, wenn das nicht Nintendo war, wenn das nicht der Switch 2 war, und das etwas anderes war, würde ich mehr darauf hinweisen, dass ich es glaube. Hier bin ich ein bisschen skeptischer, dass das wahr ist.

Habend gesagt, denke ich, dass alles, was es repräsentiert, akkurat ist. Ich denke, wir haben gehört, es wird die 7-Inch-Screen sein. Wir haben gehört, dass die Joy-Cons ein bisschen größer werden. Also denke ich, ob diese echte Sache wirklich ist, denke ich, dass das repräsentativ ist, was der Switch 2 ist.

From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
Yeah, I mean, that's the big question too, is like, when is this happening? Where is it happening? Switch 2, obviously we've talked about it a million times at this point. Doubt it's this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
There is the other side, though, where it's like, I don't know necessarily that Nintendo cares about these third party having the accessories out when it's ready because of how Nintendo thinks about their rollouts of their systems and the secrecy that they have and their, uh,

From Software Currently Isn’t Considering Elden Ring 2 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.03.24
history of having their own accessory lines and like launching with those and then partnering with like Hori and partnering with like some of the bigger name like third party accessory developers out there, manufacturers. So yeah, we'll have to stay tuned for this, but I'm very excited for the Switch 2. No one's surprised about that. And what I'm seeing here, I'm stoked about. Love that, Tim.

I feel like the success of Armored Core, granted not nearly on the same levels of some of the aforementioned games, but to take a franchise that I would have considered niche and... und sie haben es zurückgebracht.

Gehend mit dem, was du sagst, ist Elden Ring 2 die richtige Antwort? Ich meine, ich fühle mich in Bezug auf die Verkaufsverkaufe, ja. Wie in Sequels, es ist eine bewährte Entität, noch mehr so.

Great games, but no enhancement for Switch 1 games. Cool UI, but the power isn't that much of a jump. What concessions would you be okay with? I mean, it's the power not being strong enough. You'd be okay with that? Yes.

That's not how the show should be. That's not how it should be run. So he asked for nothing but Patapon and Uncharted questions. I would like some Vita sprinkled in, maybe some Infamous as well. Some Infamous.

Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Yeah. It's an interesting one of, you know, The monkey's paw of what are we going to wish for, but what do we have to lose to get it, or what's going to be perverted about it? I'm just so... And I know that I come from a very privileged position, being a Sega kid, that I'm just twisted and warped in a way that I just don't have that nostalgia for Nintendo.

Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
So I'm not, and I don't think you are either, somebody who looks at Nintendo and is like, Get up here. 4K it. HDR it. Be amazing. Look, it's like, I don't give a shit. Is Animal Crossing going to be fun? Is Kart going to be fun? But I'm only using my Switch for those experiences. It used to be I used to use my Switch for those experiences in indies, but then the Steam Deck.

Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Now I got the Steam Deck and I got the best of every world except Nintendo and, I guess, first-party exclusives anywhere, right? So it's like, I'm not... I don't know what they could alienate me with tomorrow. Even if it was like, you know, great games, but no enhancement for Switch 1 games. I'd be like, WND, but I don't care.

CJ Splitsound says, what about battery life or storage space? I'd imagine both are going to be dog shit. They're going to make me buy another memory card. And it's like, why do I got whatever the memory card? Like, again, hello, everyone. I served in the fucking Vita and PSP trenches with my memory stick pro duo. All right. Like, whatever.

Not to mention, again, it's like, oh, cool. The new switch is here. Reformat the one. I think I have a terabyte in my switch. Reformat that. Put it into the switch, too. Right. I'm the best. I don't got that. Oh, yeah. And then battery life, yeah, the battery's going to be bad. Not bad, but it's going to be... Guess what?

Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
This will be the worst Nintendo Switch 2 battery you will ever have because they will, very shortly after this, put out a new model of the Switch 2 that has an even better battery. Then there'll be an OLED Switch 2 that has all this different... You know what I mean? It's like... I carry an anchor battery pack for my stupid steam deck. I'll carry it for this, too.

You know what I mean? What are you talking about? You're 20 hours away from a plug at any time? 20 hours is a big time. But again, it's also that thing where it's like, I am a...

Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
worry wart with batteries. Okay. Where when I see it start dropping, I'm like, and then I'm from the age where they'd be like, don't charge it until it's dead. You charge it early, you're going to ruin the battery life. So like my Steam Deck, I made such a big fucking deal about this battery when I bought the Steam Deck that I bought the giant anchor power battery that I love.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
You know what I mean? Yeah. And like the amount of times I've actually been so engaged in something on Steam Deck on a flight where I didn't talk to Jen, I didn't fall asleep, I didn't do it. Like it's just not happening where I'm like, oh fuck, I need the power brick. Yeah. Boom, dead.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
I think it's the initial colors. Okay. I could be wrong. I probably am wrong. I hope I'm wrong. I would love it to be that they bust that out. But I think they're going for simplicity here in terms of like, we don't want you to buy another set of Joy-Cons. We want Joy-Cons. We want you to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller. We want you to buy the Nintendo Switch headset, if that's a thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
I think it's that they want you to buy that accessory lineup rather than the Joy-Cons that they know they can milk you for the rest of your life. And so I don't even like... I think one set. I know for Switch 1, right, it was either gray or the pink and blue, red and blue, whatever you want to call it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
So it's like I get that, but where they're putting the color in here and what we've seen for Switch 2 in the interim, I feel like it's weird then to have what? We're going to sell another version that's the red and blue on the outside and the gray on the inside? I guess that's what you would do.

I loved it. I loved it. Heartbreaker, I once, Jen borrowed those Joy-Cons from Splatoon for a demo she was running at PAX, and they came back, and they were always a little sticky, and they didn't work right. I was so mad. You know what I mean?

Let me bring you into our next news story, all right? Because again, we're talking about all these Nintendo Switch 2 stuff and little rumors and stuff like that. Let's have some fun. FCC filing could indicate a possible upgrade for Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller. This is Eric Van Allen at IGN.com. It's the day before the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
With less than 24 hours to go until Nintendo reveals its plans for its next console, a new Federal Communications Commission FCC filing could potentially point to some of those plans, at least when it comes to the Switch 2 controller lineup.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
As spotted on Fama boards and picked up by Nintendo-centric sites like GoNintendo, an FCC filing emerged yesterday, March 31st, for Nintendo under product code BEE-008. It looks to be a registration for a new game controller. Some fans believe this to be the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
It bears mentioning that this is speculation, as Nintendo hasn't confirmed plans for a Nintendo 2 Pro Controller yet. Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller. However, a few features do seem to indicate this would be a Pro Controller, like Bluetooth and NFC capability. The big thing to note about this filing, drumroll please, Mike.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
If this is the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, is that it could include a headphone jack.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
The original Nintendo Switch One Pro controller didn't have a headphone jack of any kind, while controllers like the DualSense and Xbox Series controllers do feature a port. A goofy, stupid story, but some interesting things to pull from it, I think. Number one... Nintendo's like, we fucking perfected it with Switch 1. Nailed it. How do we sell people... Headphone jack.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Back to talking about the Switch 1 and... Okay, well, what are you going to be able to put in? Cursor makes sense because... We got this fucking layout for Switch 2. We need to keep it. We can't fuck it up. We can't change that much about it. Can't change much. Put that in there. I think that's interesting. Then it's the other thing, too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
One of my argument about having no color Joy-Cons is buy all this random shit. And one of the things I was saying is I bet Nintendo sells its own headset. And I was thinking they might be finally committing to an in-unit game online voice chat rather than the app. I would love that. And I would think a headphone jack might point to that as well. Who knows if I'm right or wrong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
And today, on the precipice of his final, final, final time having these stars, my thought was I would call his friends. And I would prep them for how destroyed he's going to be tomorrow. Because they're all expecting him to be all like, oh, it's been a great day. Let's go to Gordo's. You know what I mean? But that's not what it's going to be. It's going to be a man broken in half. I am Bane.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
And I think that comes back around to what you were talking about. Joy-Cons, yes, I don't think. I thought you were asking, are they going to make an adapter to snap them on and do the thing? No, but I could assume that too because they're crazy. But more importantly, I do think, yeah, they're going to work. I think Nintendo has always been very good about their controllers and crossing over.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
So I think this will be all your old shit works. If you're having people over to the house, guess what? You don't need to buy four new pro controllers, whatever. You can throw all that in there and have them play with it. But there is this limited feature here of a headphone jack and probably something else, whatever the C button is.

It's 2-2, and he'll go, well, we win. And I'm like, why? And he goes, majority. I'm like, that's not what a majority is. You know, I digress.

Kevin, I condensed the Roper report since we're running late, and we'll jump to number three, layoffs at Eidos Montreal. This is Eddie at GameSpot. The trend of layoffs in the video game industry continues as game developer Eidos Montreal, which is co-developing the new Fable, has announced it's cutting 75 jobs. Oh, here comes Andy to attest for sins.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
We're in the middle of a show. This is rude.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
In a memo posted on social media, the studio said it's cutting the jobs because, quote, one of our mandates is coming to an end, end quote. The developer did not elaborate further about this. The last game that Eidos Montreal released was 2021's Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. It is now co-developing a new Fable game with Playground Games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Eidos Montreal is also known for 2020's Marvel's Avengers, Shadow of the Tomb Raider 2018, Deus Ex Mankind Divided 2016, and Thief 2014. In 2024, it was reported that Eidos Montreal owner Embracer canceled an upcoming unannounced Deus Ex game and implemented a round of layoffs at the Canadian developer. The cuts affected 97 people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
With the 75 added today, that's 172 layoffs at Eidos Montreal across both waves of downsizing. Embracer acquired Eidos Montreal in 2022, at the time taking ownership of the game rights to Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, and Legacy of Kain. Less than a week ago, Embracer also cut jobs at Chris Dynamics, laying off 17 people. Great job, Embracer, as always.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
It's a Greg and Mike game. We're playing Monster Hunter Wilds. Yeah. And I have no idea how much Mike's played, so I might just leave him and I'm just grinding the high-level tempered stuff. What's up? What are you doing? I'm high-level. I'm ready to rock and roll. I mean, we'll find out together. Either way. You knocking on 50's door yet? They got numbers? We're going to talk about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Oh, Embracer, yes, yes, yes. Yes, Embracer. And they've been in free fall changing a million things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Which, again, is a crystal game they helped on. I wouldn't have tossed that in as one of their things. They're the Deus Ex studio. They're the Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy studio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
We hope so, but I doubt the bloodletting and embracer group is over with. I had a great joke. Remember two dice ago? Not last dice, but the dice before that, right? They really fucked this place up. Yeah, he did. Mike, Embracer fucking up the entire industry is big news. But I'd like cheerier, smaller news. Where should I go?

Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Number four, the We News. One of the stories that got downgraded here was another Xbox handheld tease. If you want to toss up the tweet, it was a tweet from Asus talking about their little robot friend cooking up something to which Xbox responded, Kevin. It's less about the video. If you look down there, Xbox responded with the looking away emoji.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Once again, hinting that they are, in fact, making an OS or whatever for the next Asus thing that we were talking about, while also working on their own handheld way in the future. Oh, okay. Okay. Let's switch to a different bullet point. In total, Adam Fall has now been played by over 1.5 million players.

Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
A brand new IP set in the north of England, Adam Fall is Rebellion's most successful launch in the company's 32-year history.

Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
I tinkered with it and enjoyed it. Sorry. The breaking news from Zombies8Keegan. Breaking news. Pee-pee-poo-poo-ca-ca found dead in Malibu. Oh, no. I tinkered with Adam Fall. The GDC got in the way where I couldn't play a lot of it because I was doing so much GDC stuff. And so my plan had been then after the review. I came out on the review embargo day. I'm trying to sneeze.

Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Instead, I was enjoying the opening of it. It was a little clunky, but I think if I committed to it, da-da-da-da-da. And then the weekend rolled around and I had that free weekend and I played Monster Hunter because I got to play Monster Hunter. He wants to play
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
I keep hoping I'll get back to Adam Fall, but again, as much as I could see myself if I wanted to, there's so many games that I think are more my jam right off the bat, but maybe we'll see what happens. Also, since we're talking about the Brits over in kindoffunny.com slash you're wrong, Crimlock wrote in and said it's 2 p.m. British summertime, not British standard time.

Corey, there's an entire day of content ahead of you. We have a big day. Alfredo will be called. He needs to be warned, but I got Gamescast to worry about next. I can do it there, okay? We'd have to contain the Tim bits to one place. I'm not done yet, Kevin. Is a new Star Wars game imminent? George Yang at GameSpot thinks so.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
He says a new Star Wars game is being revealed soon, and some images from it have apparently emerged online. The images are supposedly taken from the Star Wars strategy game developed by Bit Reactor. The studio was founded by former XCOM developers and partnered with Respawn Studios Entertainment on the project.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
As these images are not a year old, it's also possible that the final release could look drastically different. The official Star Wars website states that there will be a first look at Respawn and Bit Reactor's projects during Star Wars Celebration in Japan on April 19th. Yeah, Roger showed me these. I'm all in on this. I love a good XCOM game.

That's a long time for a Nintendo Direct and suggests that Nintendo has a great deal to run through in its most anticipated of showcases. The Switch to Nintendo Direct starts, we already said, April 2nd at 6 a.m. Pacific, 9 a.m. Eastern, 2 p.m. British Standard Time. Nintendo has said it will use the Nintendo Direct to share a closer look at Switch 2 following its drive-by reveal of the console.

Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
And when you say brand new Nintendo Switch 2 titles, are you saying five first party or five total? Oh, snap. You think first party. First party. There's going to be. Yeah. Yeah. Because it's like an hour long. An hour long is a lot. We're talking about the rest of the year with Switch 2. So this can't just be, here's our launch lineup.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Launch lineup, I don't expect five Nintendo Switch 2 games from Nintendo. That's too much. But the year. Yeah, because you'll get the Mario at the end of the year, right? Maybe a Zelda remaster in there somewhere. A Mario Kart? I still think that's a launch game. Tim and the Nintendo jabronis are like, they think it's going to be a month out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
They think you put out the Switch 2 and you have Prime 4 in there. Metroid Prime 4. That way people buy Metroid Prime 4 because they normally wouldn't. It's not a bad marketing strategy. It's not a bad marketing strategy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Are we going to snap?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
I watched. So there's a big argument, everybody. Of course, the Nintendo Switch 2 now has these pop-on Joy-Cons. It's more of a clap when they clap in. So are they going to move to a clap? Or I think they're going to do double snap now. Because I think the double snap is super crisp. Double snap is tough, though. Only you can double snap that strong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
in game showdown when i cash in stars in the bank i'm very excited and on a lesser note the nintendo switch 2 is being revealed yeah of course uh let's talk about the stars though sure we're coming at it mentally right what kind of questions do you want to hopefully get asked are you feeling like it's going to be your game here oh i mean it's my game to win for sure you know blessing understands what's at stake here his job and so if he asks the wrong questions it makes me look like a fool
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
But it's like, I don't think, I mean, when they clap in the commercial, I think they're dubbing. Fake snap. They're doing the fake snap. I don't think every time. Now look at this. You know what I mean? Okay, maybe I kind of like that. I want double snap. I do not want to move away from snap because I also just don't like, now take a look at this. Like, no. No, we're not doing that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
And everybody claps differently, so trying to get a clap, no. Two snaps.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
That's not a snooze fest. That's awesome, though, right? I mean, I don't know. There's a fun way to do that. Don't do like, we're going to take the thing apart and show you the whorls inside. And here's the gyros, the whorls, and the bib-a-bob. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Yeah, Nintendo's weird as fuck, so yeah, that's going to happen. Don't think that we're not going to go into a very awkward section of tomorrow's presentation. That's happening, period. How long? Five minutes? Seven minutes? Oh, the awkwardness or the overall? The awkwardness.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
The awkwardness, I mean, as a grand total, you'll have less than two minutes of awkwardness because it'll be stuff like that of like, and then look, and you rumble, and you do this, and you spin that, and it's like, you know, it's the weird name and I'm doing it. But they got to do that if that's what they're doing. Pre-orders? I think they do it a week out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
They say pre-orders go live one week from today. I like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Because I think you then... I mean, not that they... There'd be... Even though everybody out in the middle of America who really doesn't care but wants to upgrade their kid's Switch or maybe even their own or whatever, they're not necessarily going to be watching this live. And so that's where I just don't think you could do it. Let alone... Guess what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
We're talking about, you know, what we got here, right? I'm talking about, what did I title this? Final rumors and speculation, right? We are less than 24 hours removed from the Switch 2's reveal, right? Nothing has leaked. Why is nothing leaked, Mike? Because they don't trust fucking Amazon and Best Buy and all these people. They're like, oh, you're going to push the button tomorrow?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
They'd push the button today. Somebody would push the button today. Somebody would screenshot copies. Somebody would do... So it's like... No Assassin's Creed keychain hanging around. There was the one rumor we talked about yesterday, right, of it coming with a gold coin or whatever. And that sounds pretty real from Best Buy Canada. Like, whatever. Sure. Okay. But, like, no. We're fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
We're fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
The big problem for Zelda... is that I think tomorrow's Zelda, let's scratch your itch here, is going to be satiated by a section that is, here's how the Nintendo Switch 2 runs your Nintendo Switch 1 games better. Now, that might be, of course, it runs it better if they've been patched, if they have this, whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
I don't know what, at WND, throw them up, what weird Nintendo decision they're going to make that makes this weird. But I think they do that, and then that's where I think you're like, they're spending a lot of time with Breath of the Wild, mate. Maybe tears. I know Tim's prediction is that no. Breath of the Wild will be the one they push and maybe remaster or whatever. Switch two eyes. I'm...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
I'm perverting Tim's prediction there a bit, but you know what I'm saying. But I can easily see it being like, hey, your games run better, period, on the Switch 2, just because of the power. But we are introducing versions that are Switch 2-ified, and we're kicking that off with Breath of the Wild and Tears. But maybe you don't do Tears.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
Maybe you let Tears wait, so you get that, you know what I mean? I think that's what they do, rather than... I will be... Very excited and... to a degree, blown away tomorrow. If it is, hey, this is your launch lineup, and let's also tease you with a Zelda that's coming, hopefully, next year. Let's look at an Animal Crossing that's two years away. I don't see Nintendo doing that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
You know what I mean? I look like a fool long enough. Andy and I have eaten shit for two seasons. It's hard to watch. Bias questions. You know what I mean? Literally, hey, Tim, who wears a red hat in Mario? Okay, Greg, now you like Freedom Wars, so tell me about a fighting game. What? No. What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? That's not how you do it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2’s Final Rumors, Speculation - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.01.25
I think this is about the immediacy of the Switch 2 is upon us. Here's what amazing features it is, and what it does as a handheld thing. Here are the amazing exclusive games you're getting for it, and here are the... switch to a five things we're doing. Yeah. The enhancements. Right. I think that's how you do that.

Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
But what I ultimately mean here, Forza fans, like, this game coming everywhere is gonna be so good for Forza Horizon as a franchise. Already, like, I view it as one of the best things Xbox has every few years.

substantial right substantial and if you're somebody who hasn't had the pleasure of checking out force of horizon because either maybe you don't have like a pc that's capable or maybe you don't have an xbox i am somebody who when it comes to racing games right like burnout uh three takedown is probably my favorite of all time burnout three paradise is another one right and like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
You know, Paradise is special because it is this open world that you can get into like, you know, car combat style racing type shit in, right? Like, you know, explore, have fun, find the shortcuts, play this fun arcade style game in this open world type thing, right? Forza Horizon does that. And Forza Horizon, I think, does that better than maybe any other racing game I've ever played before.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
It is, and I've... This is me playing Forza Horizon, dating back to Forza Horizon 3 on Xbox One, right? Like, this series has been fantastic for a while. And they've been able to build and build over the last couple of iterations of adding seasons, right? Finding new locations of going from Australia to England to Mexico. And, like, they just nail everything.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
In terms of the world and environment, looks beautiful. I think they capture their locations very well. I'm very fascinated by... was sie mit dem Content machen können. Ich weiß, dass Forza Horizon 4 gegen die Fahrzeuge von Halo gespielt wird. Also ich frage mich... Warum? Warum fragst du dich?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ja, aber es wird wirklich seltsam sein. Und Chat, das ist vielleicht falsch. Hat Forza Horizon 5 so etwas? Weil es wird seltsam sein, wenn man einen Warthog sieht. Warthog, oder? Ja, einen Warthog sieht.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ja, einfach die Barrieren runternehmen. Die Wände runternehmen. Oh Mann, ich bin so glücklich. Forza Horizon 5 ist ein Muss-Play. Wenn du Racing-Games magst, dann ist Forza Horizon 5 ein Muss-Play-Racing-Game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Also, zu der Xbox-Konversation, ich kann die Geschichte Nummer 4 kümmern. Okay. Which we're going to do a rare KHD jump forward in the show, just based on circumstances. Story number four, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has been played by over 4 million players, Microsoft says. This is Tom Ivan at VGC. That is the lead, but there's also, I bundled in a bunch of Xbox number stuff here as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has attracted over 4 million players, according to Microsoft. The title was released on December 9th, 2024 for Xbox Series X and S and PC and has also been available with Game Pass since launch. Some more Xbox numbers for you. Microsoft has reported a 7% revenue decline for its gaming division during its second fiscal quarter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
The division generated 6.6 billion in revenue during the three months ended December 31st, 2024, which was down 530 million dollars year over year. Which, to pause there, interesting, I didn't realize that Microsoft's fiscal year apparently starts in July. If that's their second fiscal quarter. Am I crazy? Am I off? Denn es sagt 2. Quartal, aber es endet im Dezember. Hm, ja.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Also entweder ist das ein Typo und sie meinen 3. Quartal oder Microsoft hat ein anderes Fiskaljahr.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Es werden einige seltsame Sachen sein. Aber wie... Weißt du was, ich vertraue dir, du hast recht. Wir wissen, dass sie gut werden. Ja. Denn selbst die letzte Zeit, als sie das gemacht haben, war die Präsentation schlecht.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ja, Chat, du bist falsch. Glück ist korrekt. Also es ist im Juli. Sie starten im Juli. The decline was attributed to a 29% drop in Xbox hardware revenue, driven by a lower volume of consoles sold during the quarter. Nadella ran through the Xbox Division's quarterly highlights during the company's earnings call. Quote,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Nadella claimed Black Ops 6 enjoyed a record-breaking launch quarter as it topped software sales on both Xbox and PlayStation. Quote, we also continue to see strong momentum for Xbox Cloud Gaming with a record 140 million hours streamed this quarter, Nadella added.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
All up, Game Pass set a new quarterly record for revenue and grew its PC subscriber base by over 30% as we focus on driving fully paid subscribers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Die Ergebnisse waren immer noch gut. Die Ergebnisse waren immer noch gut.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ja, genau.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Wir werden unsere 3D-Mario bekommen. Wir werden... Nintendo hat den Rhythmus gefunden. Sie haben den Rhythmus gefunden. Und sie haben die Formel für Generationen gefunden. Aber wie... Einige von diesen Generationen sind besser als andere. Aber du weißt, du weißt, was du bekommen wirst.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
So talking about numbers, let's bring, so let's start with the lead here, right? Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has attracted over 4 million players. How does that hit for you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
3D Mario, 2D Mario, Mario ist mein neues Ding für 2025. Oh, ich hasse es. Ich weiß, viele Leute hassen es. Roger, du solltest das mögen, weil das ist New York. Das ist Generalisierung, komm schon. Ich meine, ehrlich gesagt, du hast recht. Ich kenne viele Marios. Wir gehen hierher. Das ist, was sie alle da klingen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
I take it in context of even more so Mindshare. That was the conversation that me and Greg were talking, were having about Dragon Age The Veil Guard, because it was reported that they were underperforming for what EA's expectations were.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
weil EA 3 Millionen verkaufen wollte, endete mit 1,5 Millionen, was mich und Greg zu einer Konversation führte, ob wir einen Vow sehen, der Dragon Age, den Veil Guard, in Bezug auf Spieler, ja, richtig, was natürlich ein Faktor ist, ist ein großer Faktor in Bezug auf das, richtig, und wenn ich diese Zahlen für Indiana Jones, die ich glaube, sind wirklich gute Zahlen, tatsächlich, richtig, wie
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
It's awesome, right? Now, Game Pass, removed from it, then it becomes like, oh shit, you sold 4 million this quickly, that's crazy. But even with Game Pass factored in, 4 million players is huge. You take that, apply it to Avowed, like I see...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Und das ist mehr so, wir haben das gestern gesagt, aber wenn man sich das aufdreht, ja, ich sehe, dass Outperforming oder Outpacing, ich denke, das könnte das bessere Wort sein, Dragon Age, The Veil Guard, weil der Game Pass, aber das ist groß, wenn wir über den Genre sprechen und wir sprechen über die Mindshare des Genres, dass je mehr Leute wir sehen,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Falling in love with a Vowed, playing a Vowed, being exposed to a Vowed, right? I think that becomes more and more important when you're talking about a franchise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
When you're talking about putting out the next game, we're talking about Dragon Age The Veilguard being, or Dragon Age as a franchise feeling dormant for long enough that it felt like it got lapped by The Witcher and Baldur's Gate 3 and other fantasy games coming through, right? I think This is like, I think, the way, the shift to see a game like this actually be successful.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Because without Game Pass, I look at Avowed and I'm like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Oh, du meinst die Leute, die das Spiel aufbauen?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ja.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ja, ich verstehe das völlig. Und um meinen Punkt zu beschleunigen, weil ich jemanden gesehen habe, dem ich nicht folgen kann. Was ich hier mehr so sage, ist, dass ich denke, dass sich das als IP stärker erweitern wird als wenn es auf Game Pass gewesen wäre.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Und ich benutze den Dragon Age The Veil Guard im Vergleich dazu, um zu sagen, hey, hier ist eine IP, hier ist eine Franchise, die seit Jahrhunderten vorhanden ist. Und es kam durch. Es hat 1,5 Millionen gekauft. Das war genug für EA als AAA-Game, um zu sagen, oh, das war unsere Erwartung. Es war nicht. Wenn Avowed auf Game Pass kommt und es das 3-Millionen-Player-Markt schafft, weißt du was?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich denke, das ist genug, um zu sagen, oh, du musst Avowed 2 machen. Wir müssen Avowed 3 machen. Du hast es auf so einem guten Fuß angefangen. Und Ich denke, das ist es, was man heutzutage braucht, wenn man in so einem sehr kompetenten Raum ist.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Wenn man über AAA-Games spricht, wenn man über Videospiele im Allgemeinen spricht, von der Aufmerksamkeit von Leuten überall, wenn man über Fantasie-RPGs spricht und darüber geht, ob es eine Baldur's Gate oder eine Witcher oder irgendeine andere Fantasie-RPG ist, die man nennen möchte. Der Boost von Game Pass ist so wichtig, um auf dem richtigen Fuß zu starten.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Eine weitere Frage möchte ich zu dir bringen, Tim. In der Konversation über die Zahlen, wie viel siehst du, wenn du präsentierst? Wie viel verkaufst du von Forza Horizon 5 auf Playstation?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich denke, es wird wirklich gut funktionieren.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Weißt du, was ich meine? Das ist meine Sache. Ich glaube nicht, dass es ein Spiel wie Forza Horizon 5 gibt, mit so viel Qualität wie Forza Horizon 5 auf Playstation. Stimmt's? Wenn wir über Open-World-Arcade-Racer sprechen, können wir einige nennen. Ich habe ein Jahr oder so vorhin nie für Speed Unbound gespielt. Es war Spaß. Und es war Spaß. Aber Forza Horizon 5 ist speziell.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Das ist die Unterschiede.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
und ich denke, ich werde ein großes Statement sagen und es wird zu groß sein, aber nur damit du verstehst, wie hoch ich damit komme, richtig, in der Weise, dass ich denke, Helldivers 2 kommt auf PC, hat so viel für diese Zahlen von Helldivers 2, richtig, wir wissen, dass das der Grund ist, weshalb Helldivers 2 das schnellste verkaufte Spiel der ganzen Zeit war, ich könnte Forza Horizon 5 sehen, kommt auf Playstation und vielleicht nicht, dass es der Helldivers 2-Effekt ist, aber ich denke,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Die Playstation-Audienz wird den Forza Horizon 5 nehmen, weil es die Art des Spiels ist, die Art der Höhle, die es in der Bibliothek füllt und die Qualität des Spiels. Ich sehe nicht eine Rückkehr, aber eine neue Rückkehr.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich glaube auch, dass die Zahlen auf Xbox sprechen werden. Ich wundere mich, wann der nächste Forza Horizon ist, denn Playground arbeitet auf Fable. Das ist ein guter Anruf. Haben sie so viel Team, dass sie beide arbeiten können? Muss jemand anderes einen Forza Horizon machen?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
But did come out... Oh man. Is Mike in the background? Mike's not in the background.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Anyways. Yeah, I do wonder if that does fill that space.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Oh, okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich denke, das Einzige, was ich sehe, ist vielleicht, dass sie es auspacen wollen. Geben Sie Forza seinen eigenen Moment, geben Sie Halo seinen eigenen Moment.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Hier ist das Ding, wenn Forza Horizon 5 zu Switch 2 kommt, wirst du mich nie wieder sehen. Du wirst mich nie wieder sehen. I'm just walking everywhere with a switch in front of my face. You gotta do it, man. I'm racing. Locked, he's racing, everybody.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Well, we don't think that Switch 2 is coming in spring, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Like, and I guess, I mean, maybe... Ich meine, weiß Xbox, dass die Switch 2 im Frühjahr kommt? Das ist eine seltsame Frage. Ich bin fasziniert, wie all das funktioniert. Das ist eine Frage für dich, Tim. Forza Horizon wird an anderen Plattformen geportet. Vielleicht willst du, wie Phil Spencer, du willst unterstützen, was die Switch 2 tut.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Als Nintendo, wenn du zu Drittpartien gehst und sagst, hey, hier ist die Switch 2-Bildung, das ist, was wir tun, das ist die Zeitung, mach dein Spiel. Hältst du das Geheimnis von Xbox? Wenn du sagst, oh, wir geben diese Informationen nicht an Xbox, oder sagst du, naja, sie machen dritte-Partei-Stuffe, wie sie Minecraft auf unserer Plattform machen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich weiß nicht. Ich denke, das Frühling ist vielleicht nur... Ich denke, sie halten es einfach los. Ich weiß nicht. Ich bin nicht verbunden mit Switch 2. Ich denke, es wird passieren. Ich auch nicht.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Yeah, like June 20... Which is bullshit.

Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Während wir hier sind, Spekulation Station. Also, Forza Horizon kommt auf PlayStation. Wir wissen das. Würdest du denken, dass Forza Motorsport nicht zu weit dahinter ist?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Well, that's a good question. It's funny because somebody in chat was like, when we were trying to think of the developer of Forza Motorsport, they were like, Forza Motorsport was the original, like Horizon is the spin-off. And like, there's a conversation to be had of like, how often does that happen?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
When the spin-off studio makes something that just overtakes the original to the point where it's like, oh yeah, I guess the original thing is coming out. I'm here for the spin-off.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Two things I'll say about this. One, fair when it comes to Tekken 4. Secondly, Why are you throwing shade at death by degrees? I had that demo on a demo disc. That shit fucked me. I had a sniper. You could like hit people's limbs and you would see their bones break. That was the first time I experienced that in a video game. And that shit was cool. I don't like the death by degrees hate.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Oh, von Shin Megami Tensei. Das ist ein wirklich guter. Aber ich frage dich über Forza Motorsport, weil dann kommen wir in eine Diskussion darüber, is that, like, that is giving competition then to Gran Turismo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
And does that become a conversation of, like, PlayStation being like, oh man, like, Forza Motorsport, and this is to the racing sickos in chat of, and maybe we gotta call him Mike Mike, because I don't know which is, like, the better sim racer. I mean, the thing is, Gran Turismo
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
I definitely don't see Forza Motorsport coming to PlayStation and then overtaking Gran Turismo by any means, because that audience is so built in on the PlayStation side.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
But yeah, I do think, yeah, Forza Horizon is just a different beast and so.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
It's just interesting to think about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Ich habe viele Gedanken. Halt mich! Kann ich etwas über mich erzählen? Wenn du schon lange gelesen hast, dann weißt du das schon. Ich habe schon darüber gesprochen, richtig? Ich war früher ein Quantic-Dream-Sicko. Als ich Heavy Rain am Tag gespielt habe, habe ich mit Heavy Rain verliebt. Ich konnte nicht auf Beyond Two Souls warten. Und ich habe Beyond Two Souls gespielt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Zuerst einmal habe ich die E3-Erklärung für Beyond Two Souls gesehen. Es ging verdammt hart. Und ich glaube niemandem, der das sagt, dass es das war. Der E3-Trailer für Beyond Two Souls hat mich verkauft. Keine Worte. Und dann habe ich das Spiel bekommen. Ich liebte nicht Beyond Two Souls. Ich liebte nicht die non-linear Storytelling von Beyond Two Souls.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Dann bin ich zurückgekommen und habe dieses Spiel gespielt, das Fahrenheit, Tim. Ich weiß nicht, ob du Fahrenheit erinnerst. Ich erinnere mich nicht an Fahrenheit. It was the Quantic Dream game before Heavy Rain on PS2. And it was similar. It was like one of these narrative, cinematic, storytelling kind of games. Supernatural as well. But I digress. Played that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
And also the Tekken hate in general. What's Itagakis beef here? How funny. Dead or alive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
And then I played Detroit Become Human. And again, I was a sicko. I was like, yo, I understand that these games aren't Masterpieces, but there's something about just making choices that I like. There's something about being able to decide where these stories go and there's a fidelity that they do it with that just appealed to me. Even though looking back, a lot of that shit didn't hit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Heavy Rain in retrospect, the story sucked. There's a lot we can talk about. That said... Beyond Two Souls, als Adaptation, fühlt sich wie ein Schritt zu weit an, in meiner Meinung. Wir müssen alles adaptieren. Wir müssen alles adaptieren. Wer hat eine Person gefragt für Beyond Two Souls? Ich habe eine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Das ist fair, und ich glaube das auch. Ich erinnere mich auch an die News-Geschichten, wie Elliot Page nicht so viel Zeit hatte, um dieses Spiel zu arbeiten. Es gab diese seltsamen David-Cage-Geräusche. David Cage war schrecklich, wie er Modelle von Elliot Page kapiert hat. Ich weiß nicht, es gab seltsame Geräusche damit. Ich vergesse nicht, ob das verboten von Elliot Page war, oder woher das kam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Aber es gab Berichte, dass Elliot Page es nicht hatte. nicht die Entwicklung genießen. Das klingt familiar. Interessant, aber auch Menschen können ihre Meinung ändern. Oder sie können es zurücknehmen und machen, wie sie es wollen. Ja, du kannst das auch machen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Und das eine, was ich sagen werde, ist, dass, obwohl ich denke, es gibt viele Dinge, die Beyond Two Souls viel besser gemacht hätte, was die Geschichte betrifft. Ich könnte das Ganze in einem TV-Show fixieren. Und Gott, bitte mach einfach nicht das Non-Linear-Narrative-Ding. Wenn sie das Video-Game-Story erzählt hätten... Oh, sagten sie, dass sie das gemacht haben?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Comes out like God of War, whack, Spider-Man, whack, Days Gone, whack, and we're like, alright, you might be fair on one of those, but like, come on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Ah, nein, das wird scheißartig, Mann. Das wird scheißartig.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
This is another one, again, here's the thing. Denn ich könnte sie funktionieren sehen. Eine Adaptation von Sleeping Dogs. Ja, das macht Sinn. Aber es ist einfach so, dass wir zu tief in der Tasche sind. Das ist mein Ding.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Wir werden so viele Video-Game-Adaptationen in den nächsten 2-3 Jahren haben.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
I guess my problem with it is like Warum? Warum gibt es so viele von diesen? Muss alles ein IP sein? Oder kannst du eine original Supernatur-Ghost-Story machen? Oder kannst du eine original Undercover-Kop-Marshal-Arts-Movie machen?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Is the story worth adapting? Is this something worth putting on the big screen? Is it a story worth telling? Or is it a video game worth playing because the gameplay is fun?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
I guess I also just get the fear of many of these hitting in not the right way, right? Like, a bunch of these movies come out and, oh man, the Beyond Two Souls TV show, oh man, that was trash. Ah, the Sleeping Dogs movie was whack. Oh man, the Sifu movie could have been better. Which, actually, I take that back. That's gonna be fire. But, like, enough of these, I feel like, could stack up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
I'm scared of the DM breaking and it being, ah, this shit didn't work. Like, let's move on from video game movies. We're not doing these things anymore. And I just want it to be more of like a... Hey, let's pick the good... What are the movies we need to make from video games? And let's tell the stories we're telling. Let's not make everything. Because I get scared of it just blowing up.

Ja, es scheint so zu sein. Ich lese das, als ob sie eine Höhle von E3 verlassen. E3 ist der Ort in diesem Juni, in dem du Game Announcements bekommst, du bekommst all diese Dinge, aber dann bekommst du auch diese Business-Things. Und wenn E3 jetzt, wie wir wissen, permanent gecancelt wird, permanent mit einem Asterisk, wild, richtig? Ja. Es ist passiert. Es ist passiert, Leute.

Wir sind im Post-E3-Welt. Ja, Summer Game Fest steppt auf und sagt, okay, cool, wir werden das tun, was wir in den letzten Jahren gut gemacht haben.

No, they're not touching Overwatch right now. Wow. Every Monday, because it's always Mondays. Every Monday, they're playing Marvel Rivals. Man. It seems like this is what the vibe is for the time being. I'm very fascinated to see like months from now, is it still the case? Like, does Marvel Rivals taper out at all? Or does it ride strong? Right now, Marvel Rivals seems strong.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Oh, yeah, man, this is something that I was, like, trying to push, like, in my theory status a few years ago. And now that we're here, it's, yeah, you're right. Like, it's tough to see it on the implementation side.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Yeah. Why would they allow that? Why would they allow it? And also, like, in what form would that happen in? Because I guess, what does, I know Ubisoft has stuff and EA has, like, an E, like a, like a pass system. Ich glaube, ich muss mich recherchieren. Ich muss auf PlayStation gehen und sehen, wie das genau funktioniert.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Interessant, weil für mich die straightforward Sache ist, ich denke, die Xbox-Games werden spielbar sein, aber ich denke, es wird an dem stoppen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Forza Horizon 5 is Coming to PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.30.25
Oh, I guess. Yeah, because when you boot up... Okay, I see what you're saying. Because when you boot up an Ubisoft game, you'll get like the Ubisoft stuff that you can do. Yeah. So Xbox would have to change... Yeah, Xbox I think would have to change how that stuff works then. That's what I'm saying. Because all the Xbox stuff is on the OS side. So you would have to, yeah, you're right, okay.

Yes. And speak to an audience. Approve a budget that is obtainable. Turn it around on a time cycle that you assume. I'm making a lot of assumptions. But I look at this and I go, this game shouldn't have taken this long. Kevin, what is with the Zooms today? This game shouldn't have taken that long to look at. Not that it's not a great looking game. It looks amazing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EVEN MORE WB Games Woes - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.27.25
But you assume they turn that quicker. So that the budget was probably set correctly and they don't need to sell 100 million units and be like, oh, this was a success. And this leads to us. I saw a chat saying it. Your mouth to God's ears. This leads to us getting more Aliens games. This leads to getting Predator Games. This leads to everybody going, oh, the olds love these things.

My hope is to get together a little cool looking graphic, because I had the photos of me with my dual blades from Capcom a couple months ago, and I want to put that in there with it, but there's no time, and I'm not very talented with graphics, so it probably won't happen, but I'll eventually put that up on Blue Sky, and I'm sure it's an Instagram story, and then tomorrow you can see it, this, that, the other.

You know what I mean? But me trying to get the Switch 2 will inevitably be then me playing the Switch 2 for years and years and years. Often how little doesn't matter, right? But it's more the fact of I look at my shelf next to my units, right? And I have the few statues I have. And I have a Batman Catwoman Hush statue that I think is gorgeous, right? But I look at it and it's just like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
Why did I spend the $200, $300, whatever dollars it was on that statue? It's nice and I like it, but it was like, you got it out of the box and I put it down and I, huh. You know what I mean? And it's like, I guess it's a conversation too about like, you know, how you lay out a room and this, that, and the other and where you're putting things up. But it's just like, that's not something I need.

So like, video game collector's editions have always been that. Where it was like, DC Universe Online, I can't wait for this game. Yes, I'll buy the digital deluxe or the collector's edition. And then I get this not great Batman statue I didn't want. And it's like on my desk at IGN.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
Like that was, I think one of the big things for me of like, when I came to IGN in 2007, we were working in Brisbane in a real giant office building. So everyone had these gigantic desks. You had like, We had a wall and a hutch, and you watch old GameScoop TVs, and you see I have just Superman action figures and Ghostbusters shit and posters up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
Then we moved downtown San Francisco, and you lost those walls. So then it was just, all right, what do you want to put on your desk? So I brought home a box of Superman action figures, Ghostbusters, and Minimates, all this stuff. And then eventually that all went to Goodwill or got given away. And then to go work from home, the props became...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
all right, they're in the spare bedroom or they're bleeding off into the living room and everything. So I don't want this crap. And like the other, the other office above the comic shop, we put it up on shelves. Nick would get mad at it. It's just like, there's just nowhere for it to go. And then what joy is it inspiring?

Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25

Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
To jump back to video game collector's editions, I just think for the most part, and this is just me speaking, so much of it is... There's usually maybe, in best case scenario, something in a collector's edition that I'm like, oh, that's cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
I like that one thing, which is the nice part of this job of we get these collector's editions, I get to take that one thing and put the rest in the kitchen table and everybody takes what they want from it kind of thing. Scavengers, yeah. But I think for Sucker Punch in particular, right? Yeah. I didn't do the Ghost of Tsushima collector's edition. I don't remember what was in it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Pre-Orders Were a DISASTER! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.24.25
Apparently a mask. I never would have wanted that. But I did do the Infamous 2 collector's edition, right? They get that messenger bag that was there. And that was cool. But eventually it got given away, right? Because it's not that great of a bag. I know it's like cool looking, but it didn't hold as much. But they always come with patches.

I eventually did get Walmart through hook or crook or whatever to do it. Got it in. Bought it. But then I got the email that was, your delivery is canceled, Greg. We're sorry.

Anyways, though, I got it down, and it popped, and I got it into the cart on GameStop, and I got to the checkout there, and then it was just like that. It was like every third one would crash or whatever, and so it's like it would only accept Apple Pay, but it kept crashing, crashing, crashing, and then eventually it was just out of my cart, gone, and just done.

The one for Barrett is, for as much as you know I love Ghost of Tsushima, and for as much of Ghost of Tsushima is that checklist open world game, why do you think Assassin's Creed Shadows isn't going to hit on that, not on that level, but I guess hit for me? And then to Greg, we're on the spectrum of Rise of the Ronin to Ghost of Tsushima. Would you place an Assassin's Creed Shadows?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
I'm doing well. I'm excited for the Xbox developer underscore direct. I don't have any, I guess, predictions because I know we already know the bulk of stuff they're going to talk about. But there is that question mark on there that people are saying could be some kind of like JRPG franchise. Okay. Like a legendary JRPG franchise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Let me start and then we'll kick it over to Barrett. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
I think it's not going to hit with you because I think on that spectrum, it's more towards Rise of the Ronin. Okay. I think that's... And this is where it's hard because, of course, we played four hours. Yeah. But it was the prologue where I was like, oh, this is really interesting. And then this footage you see is where we got thrown ahead to level 25. So we're deep into the game at this point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
We're just doing stuff. We're talking to people that I don't know any of their... And so suddenly, like... it was the wolves ripped away and it's like, oh, this is Assassin's Creed. Like I found it. This is my negative part of the preview, right? Where I find it very hard to go from what we played and tell you anything other than it's Assassin's Creed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
It was going and doing this thing and it was doing this thing. And it's like, you know, when you're playing as a Yasuke, there sure are a lot of doors they want you to run through.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
they gave this guy the ability to run through doors so you see the door like you want me to run through that door I get it's like that kind of thing where it's like you see the machinations right of what they've built here machinations of what they've built here right and I think that was Rise of the Ronin's problem for you where it was like none of this matters I'm just flying around landing killing the guy doing that thing I think
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
with that prologue if they keep that narrative by the time we get to level 25 we should knock on wood care a lot about these characters care about the investments like i think it was a weird mission to give us because the mission is like oh you got it this kid's been kidnapped blah blah and you get to the end and find out like there's like a double cross but it's like yeah i don't fucking know this guy like clearly you guys have done missions for him before like it should matter to you that i don't know and just in the writing when the kid is kidnapped i immediately called out who it was like okay this is
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
And so that's the thing where it's like with not having any of that goodwill built up, you get here and you're like, yep, it's Assassin's Creed. You want me to go do this and go there? Okay, cool. And I forgot about the fucking cool thing she had to spin it. My final fucking mission, I switched it. I'm like, god damn it, right. I could have been doing this the whole time.

We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25

really continue on in a quick time out kevin if you could roll it back like four seconds as she comes up on that ladder just like as she walks up to the ladder this was one of those parts where i was like it's a video game right it's assassin's creed where you come out of this thing you'll see in a second like you have to go up this tower here yeah and there's this ladder and i think from two sections below they knew i was in the thing so i wasn't so there was just a guy standing at the top of the ladder which meant when i would climb up the ladder he would knock me back down but not in a cool way very much like oh i kind of glitch

Something I thought was interesting, though, right, was I saw it called out there. Bill Erickson, I see you asking about immersive mode. I want to talk about that. They had cannon mode was something you could pick from the launch, right? Yeah, I picked cannon mode. And that's where, what, they choose the dialogue for you? Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. I didn't miss your own joke there. Yeah, canon mode and, like, picking of, like, oh, this is another narrative. But then they still let you pick who you fought as? Yes. Oh, interesting. I thought they might force you into a character that way or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
So there's that in terms of, like, you have to make the choices for dialogue. This is how it actually played out, you know, through your DNA. And then for Bill Erickson over there, want to hear more about immersive mode. I didn't turn it on. but it was an option, immersive mode this time around, right? Where it's going to be all these native touches.

So when the people who speak Portuguese show up, they're speaking Portuguese, and then the rest would be in Japanese until somebody who else speaks Spanish. Like, they wouldn't dub anything. It would be that people are speaking the way they should.

We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
I mean, there's two superchats I can throw at the same time, right? Like, Colin Barry writes in and says, more Assassin's Creed 1 through 3 or Origins slash Valhalla? And then also Jdub writes in and says, does Naoi's movement feel faster for Assassin's Creed?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
It feels like... Yeah, to JDev's question, does it feel faster for AC? No, it feels like... As soon as I got in, as now I was like, oh, I'm at home. I know what I'm doing in the bushes, slinking around. Let's do that. Go prone all the way. Go all the way down like Solid Snake or whatever. Yeah, this is definitely an RPG, which I think, again...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
is something that will speak to me more upon a review where again, like getting tossed in and like, Oh, you've already filled out. I don't have, I didn't have a bunch of skill points to go through. So it's like what it is. And so then when I went back in there, when I had time at the end of the demo and I was looking at them like, Oh, this would have been cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25

Again, 10 hours into the game, playing as it's meant to be played, maybe that becomes more apparent, whereas this was like, I climb in, I kill this dude, do that thing, and then there's some other boss guy I've got to fight now, and he's got a different thing, and then he alerts all the guys, and I've got to fight all these guys.

Because Avowed was slated for late last year, so was this game. And I think leading to that, I think I was more along the lines of, oh man, yeah, I'll probably play Assassin's Creed Shadows or Avowed. Right now, especially after this preview, I'm fully on, yeah, I think I'll get to Avowed first. And then if I play Assassin's Creed Shadows, then great.

If you want, Kevin, I tossed in the YouTube trailer for Earthblade. That was the Game Awards reveal two years ago, it says here on YouTube. I don't remember if that's right. But here's the actual blog post from Extremely Okay Games. Hey, everyone. I've got some sad news today to ring in 2025. Late last month, Noel and I made the difficult decision to cancel Earthblade.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yes, we are opening the year with a huge, heartbreaking, and yet relieving failure. I want to outline in this post what led to this decision and what it means for the future of EXOC. Extremely OK Games. It's abbreviated. That makes more sense. That makes more sense. I was like, I didn't read this. This is weird.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
I really like the Annapurna showcases for that, for the ones that we've gotten. For sure. But like, even though they're still around, but they're different. Everybody got fired. It's, nevermind.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Before I get into it, however, I want to acknowledge that this news will likely come as a shock to fans who have been eagerly anticipating the game. We made this decision in December and felt it best to wait until now to announce it. For us on the inside, we've had some time to process, grieve, and work towards accepting this, although that process is nonlinear and still ongoing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
For those only reading this now who might not be emotionally invested in the project, we're sorry to disappoint you. Quick side to remember, if you're an audio listener, I'm sorry, the trailer would have told you, this is from the folks who made Celeste. Yes. That's why there's so much hype.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
They got a new team in there. Yeah. The old team left. Now they're over at Private Division. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Earlier this year, a fracture began forming in the team. Specifically, this was between us, Noel and I, and Pedro, a founding member of Extremely OK Games, longtime friend and collaborator, and the art director on Earthblade and pixel slash UI artist on Celeste and Towerfall. The conflict centered around a disagreement about the IP rights of Celeste, which we won't be detailing publicly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
This was obviously a very difficult and heartbreaking process. We eventually reached a resolution, but both parties also agreed in the end that we should go our separate ways. Pedro is now working on his game, Never Way, which you should check out. We've played it, and it's very promising.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
But, or they've taken over Private Division's things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Losing Pedro wasn't the only factor in cancelling the game, but it did prompt us to take a serious look at whether fighting through to finish Earthblade was the right path forward. The project had a lot going for it, but, frustratingly, it was also not as far along as one would have expected after such a protracted development process.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
I do believe that if we soldiered on, despite it all, that Earthblade could still be a great game. But would it be worth the pain? Noelle and I began to reflect on how the game has felt for us to work on day to day and realize that it has been a struggle for a long time. Sure, working on one project for so long is bound to become a slog, but this feels like a deeper problem.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Today in the nerdy news you need to know about, we've played Assassin's Creed Shadows, the Celestev's next game has been canceled, and Dragon Age, the Veil Guard, didn't meet sales expectations. We'll have all this and more because this is kind of funny games daily.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Celeste's success applied pressure on us to deliver something bigger and better with Earthblade, and that pressure is a large part of why working on it has become so exhausting. Pedro isn't to blame for this. In fact, the split with him has given us clarity to see we have lost our way and the opportunity to admit defeat. I feel many ways about it, but one big feeling is undoubtedly relief.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
While this is shaken out, other members of the team have moved on as well. Noel and I now want to take all of the parentheses, many lessons we've learned from Earthblade, wipe the slate clean, and refocus ourselves back to smaller scale projects.

We're prototyping again and exploring at our own pace and trying to rediscover game development in a manner closer to how we approach it at Celeste's or Towerfall's inception. Scaling the core team up post-Celeste has ultimately been a failure, and that's okay. We gave it all we've got, and life goes on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
We are happy to return to our roots and reclaim some joy in our creative process and see where it takes us.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yeah, so this is fascinating because I think it is sad that they're canceling this because this is one that they got to reveal, and I think all of us were looking forward to because we love Celeste so much, right? Of course. And Towerfall. And Towerfall, right? And there's, I think, a lot of different ways to view this. I think, ultimately...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Even though this is sad news, it's also good news at the same time. Somebody in chat had mentioned, so basically a sophomore slump, right? Which is funny because this is their third thing, so it would be like a junior slump, I guess.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

there have been i think many cases when i think of like indie development even i like this is creative creatively it's funny i listen i've been referencing this j cole podcast that i listen to where he's talking about like his album album like journey and he talked about like kind of his sophomore slump and like the pressure that you know you you feel when you're trying to live up to expectations and all that stuff right um them here you know talking about

you know scaling up the core team post Celeste trying to do this trying to make a thing that might have lived up to it right and like it kind of leading into ah shit no like the saying this isn't going to work out for us I love that they're in a place where they're like hey stop This isn't working out. We're not having fun making this. Cancel it. Let's go smaller.

No, keep it going. I like keeping it clean. Nintendo's crazy. Don't do it. Number three. Dragon Age The Veil Guard has sold 1.5. Nope, that's all fucked up. Dragon Age The Veil Guard had 1.5 million players in the first two months. EA expected 3 million. This is Rebecca Valentine at IGN.com.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
EA has announced today that it's revising its outlook for the fiscal year after a slowdown in global football net bookings growth. And Dragon Age The Veil Guard missed the company's internal targets by nearly 50%. In a press release, the company said it was reducing its expectations for the fiscal year ending March 2025 from mid-single-digit growth to mid-single-digit decline.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
The largest culprit, EA says, was the global football, a.k.a. EA Sports FC, which it says experienced a slowdown last year in Q3 after two consecutive fiscal years of double-digit net bookings growth. In a press release, EA CEO Andrew Wilson specifically pointed to EA Sports FC25 as underperforming.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
This is one of those days that I wish was a way slower news day because I would have loved to take time to talk about some of this stuff. Because I think both the Dragon Age Veil Guard and EA Sports FC parts of it are fascinating for different reasons. One, because I think to EA Sports FC, to be underperforming feels like a bad omen for the industry. For sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
I think that's going to be a lot of what this is. We're going to get some reveals here and there, but I think it is more about hearing about what developers have to say about their game, which I'm down for.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
We don't need FIFA. Oh, yeah, well, you're saying the opposite way, obviously.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Yeah, I'm saying more so of, like, FIFA, the thing that always performs, that's one of the highest-performing games in the industry. Now, of course, this could come down to their projections and, like, what they wanted their FIFA to do in terms of growth. But even still, like, FIFA not being enough, it's like, oh, then... What the fuck is happening then if FIFA is underperforming?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
To the Dragon Age the Veil Guard part of it, right? Like, I only played a little bit of Dragon Age Veil Guard, but I heard there's a lot of woke in it. A lot of woke.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
A lot of woke. My favorite thing I went through here, of course, like, Dragon Age is a niche game. They expect to sell how much? This is such a fucking great example. Now, sadly, the shitty people on the internet are only going to take that part away from it and forget, of course, That when Dragon Age launched, it was the top of the Steam charts. It was doing great. It had all this stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
We're back to what your expectations are. A little bit of profit isn't enough. It needs to be a major profit. And we cut the story a little bit. I don't know if they go into how much Dragon Age in terms of success or whatever it was financially. But this game sold well at launch. 1.5 million. Nothing is poo-poo. But when you're EA and you're 3 million...

Sandfall? Which I've never heard of. Oh, that's a developer. That's why I haven't heard of the game. Who's the other one? Oh, Expedition 33. Oh, yeah. People are very excited for it. We know Expedition 33. We know Doom. We know Compulsion. And then we have the question mark.

Yeah. Yeah. Expedition 33, especially where I think that one's got a lot to prove, right? We know it's got a good cast. We've heard a little bit about it, but it's like, I don't, I don't feel like as the guy who just couldn't remember that it's part of this thing, nor can I remember other than it's a Ben star game, what it's about.

It's one that I'm very excited for, but I also have like, I'm nervous about in some regards of the kind of game it wants to be. And we'll talk about it when we get there. But it looks very interesting, but almost too interesting. Oh, too interesting. The dreaded too interesting. Yeah, sometimes you see games where it's like, oh, this seems fresh and different, but also kind of inspired.

Greg? I want you to have some say here, okay? So you get to call it. Do you want me to start positively or negatively? I want you to start positively. Positively. I thought the prologue we played, no spoilers since it's narrative-based, right, was so engaging and so well done.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Where I was like, you know, the reason I think I love Odyssey so much is Cassandra, is knowing her, is seeing her journey unfold and where it went and the way they told her tale. To see Yasuke and Naue, right? And how we start the game and see who they are, how we meet them, how we see them evolve. I was like, this is dope. And it feels like one of the notes I put down, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
It feels like a samurai film. Which I think is one of those things, obviously, there's going to be no end to the comparisons, but something Ghost of Tsushima got so right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
I don't think they do it that well where visually and everything else it feels and looks like, but this was like, ooh, you've got the backbone here of a really good samurai film that I like, that I think is going to really kickstart this game for me and let me build these characters.

I want to see, I want to, when I'm still in my, very much my, my, my hard eyes of the prologue, right? I'm making all these notes, even though I don't want to say anything, because I don't want to say anything. But then I go, all caps, oh shit, now he's here. Like, you know what I mean? When we switched over to her, I was like, oh fuck, this is cool. That was a cool way to do it, right?

Ghost of Tsushima, which is the obvious comparison, but then also Rise of the Ronin, which is a game that I thought I was going to fall in love with, given the developer, given the type of game that it was. Let me crack my knuckles. We're in three games. I've got lots to say about it. You guys know I fucking love Ghost of Tsushima. It was one of my favorite games that year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
We Played Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Our Impressions) - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.23.25
Absolutely fell in love with it. Rise of the Ronin, thought I was going to really like, and then ended up being like, oh man, I do not care about this world. This isn't doing it for me. My question is, where on the... I guess this is a two-part question. One, and this is one for Barrett and one for Greg.

STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Today in the nerdy news you need to know about, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 launches big on Steam and is getting big fixes. Steam has made a big update to its season pass policy, and I swear to God, Mike, if the third one is another Steam story. Metaphor refantasio is huge for Atlus and Sega. We'll have all this and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
And I called those problems out in the review. And then players were like, what are you talking about? Like, you say that you don't get the ability to record your own replays, but you clearly... I got that here, X, Y, and Z. And it was this weird thing that my review bill didn't have that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
So it then discredited my whole review because one of my things was like... It took shots at my review because then it was like... I guess gave them... Free bullets for my review. Of course. Of me being like, this thing... There's a whole bunch of stuff they didn't include, including this major thing. They're like, well, they had that thing. So then what does that do to your score?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
It's like, ah, fuck. You can only review the experience you have with a game. And so I think, again, I understand... does this game... Do the reviews of this game then work for the audience? Do they actually get anything done?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
But for Starfield, because it's this way, I would assume every other Bethesda game, the way they mod it is so fucking simple. Like, it's not like I... Like, when I needed to mod World of Warcraft and play with a controller, even that was... Like, I started going the hard way, and then somebody on Twitter was like, no, you dumb fuck, just use this one thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Like, our goal of reviewing a video game, right, is to share our experience with a game and say, hey, this is what it is, so that they can make educated choices on what they want. And so I think... For the majority of the reviews I saw yesterday, I think the biggest problem here is, as always, people getting hung up on scores.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
I think if you read through the reviews, you listen to the conversations, you hear everybody saying, for the most part, hey, buggy as shit. I think it was Haim and maybe IGN being like, Haim at IGN, this is the most buggy game I've ever reviewed. But maybe that was Jordan. Somebody said something to that, right? And it's that idea of once you put that out there,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
As the reviewer, and then you critique the experience of the game, I think then as a player, you can look at it and be like, well, they put out a day one patch, and I'm seeing people not complain about that. So I can ignore that part of the review and enjoy this part of the criticism of what the open world feels like. It isn't an RPG. It isn't a Fallout.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Go from there and make a choice on, do I want to be one of these 120,000 people who are playing it on Steam? And I feel like that works. However... The problem is that that's a very nuanced, calculated argument for people who like games criticism, where I feel like you have a whole bunch of people who just want to see numbers go up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
They've said Stalker 2 is going to be the best game of all time or the best Stalker of all time, so then for the Metacritic to be fucked up by these things, that pisses them off and that's a different conversation, blah, blah, blah. But even this argument is the same argument I was participating in at...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
IGN, and you've seen since then with all the big sites, us included, of like, well, you review Fallout 76 at launch and shit on it. You review Fortnite and say it's basic at launch. How do you update that when a game is being updated at this level? Ladies, gentlemen, and Envy. He's the best voice in the business. It's Paris Lilly. Hello, Paris. I'm so happy you're here. I didn't talk any shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Paris is such a professional wrestler. Like he goes out into the audience with the mustache on. He's like, what do we chant for Paris? And then they start chanting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
And they've updated all this stuff to make it easy, too. I was like, oh, and it was very easy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Yeah, I mean, the problem is when do you know a day when Patch is coming? When do you know how big the problems are and stuff like that? Like, how do you want to serve the audience? Again, I think to bring it to us, it's a very interesting argument, right? Because I feel the way Kind of Funny works is an ongoing conversation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Theoretically, this weekend, you're going to go home and play more, right? And so if you come back on Monday and you're like, yo, this turned around, fuck yeah, we're going to take a Gamescast or a Games Daily and figure out the headline to put it in there and do that, right? I would never assign that to you. I think that's going to happen naturally. I think Paris already talked about that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
happens naturally at some point not this weekend because i'll be on the road but i'm gonna boot it up and see what's up and see if it connects there's a conversation there too we are a conversation company right our scores go out when it's bananas out of knapsacks nobody fucking cares right we're not metacritic it's not like we're sinking anything it's just for the conversation a window a billboard into it and ign then becomes a different conversation but to their credit you know i think this is something that people don't get enough credit for honestly in the day and age of the reviews in progress
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
where everyone wants to hit that deadline and have the score up so that they can be included in the tweet. You know, Wario64 is putting this thing out. Noble's putting this thing out. Hey, here's what everybody gave it. Here are the scores. You want your Metacritic up?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Day one of a review, a review embargo is when the most eyes are going to be on those reviews, and the conversation is, and we're doing a review roundup, and da-da-da-da-da-da-da. for IGN and Haim to be like, no, we're going to review in progress this, and we're not going to put a score on it, and we're going to wait and feel this out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
I am not familiar how much of that is, I didn't rush through the game, or I'm waiting for the day one patch, or whatever it is. That's a great way to handle it, but IGN's traffic on that will be down because they don't have the little thing, right? And it'll still be great traffic, it's IGN, but it won't be as big as if it would have been. we're giving this a four out of 10. This thing sucks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
You know what I mean? Or we're ignoring all of these things and giving it an eight out of 10. Like you got to review your experience. And if your experience is fluid and changing, I think that's a very welcome thing. But again, In the SEO-driven world, in the world you see of people vying in a market that's getting more and more competitive, tinier and tinier, ad rates are going down.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
You see the layoffs. You see the closures. Like, people are trying to do this. And then for an IGN or – we should stop using IGN because they're not doing it, I guess. A GameSpot, a VGC, how you tackle it going on then is a completely different ball of wax of like, okay, cool, well – Do we do an updated review? Is that worth it to our audience? We said our piece.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Again, I think the criticism stands of I had all these fucking problems, but this is what I thought of the game and the narrative or whatever. So if you can just not read, you read through the review and go, well, that doesn't matter or count anymore or do the follow-up article, but then you're into a million different ways of trying to solve the same thing and build a better mousetrap.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24

I can almost read every one of the screens in his eyes. We'll see you in a second, Paris. Love you. All right. I'll see you later. Bye. What a piece of trash. You're a great guy. I'm glad he does that. People should be popping in, you know what I mean? Pop in more. What do you feel about it then? Before we close this door or whatever, how would you handle it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
And that's the thing where I think, you know, it's one of those, nobody's wrong. You know what I mean? And how they handled this or what they did, obviously worked for Xbox and stalker getting out here. It worked for reviewers yesterday, having a conversation and moving it. But I think that's the thing we have to deal with as a community or as a interested video games, enthusiasts, right. Of like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
No matter what, as soon as you publish a video or a written review of a game, it's going to be outdated. They're going to patch. They're going to do this thing. I can tell you how many levels are in a game when I record this thing, but guess what? There's going to be a million other things for why. What changed? I ran into this bug. Well, they're going to patch that bug out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
It's such a hard, slippery slope, and I think for a game like Stalker that got knocked so hard yesterday for these things... then you see this really be bubbled up of like, well, how do you do that? It's like, well, when would you stop to review the game? I mean, look at Dying Light 2, which is, I mean, Dying Light 1 got, what, 10 years of updates or seven years of updates?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
And Dying Light 2 is still getting, I still get emails about what Dying Light 2 is doing. So it's like, should Dying Light 2 still be a review in progress?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
You know what I mean? Like, where do you draw the line? What do you do with it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
And again, that's one of the things that I'm not calling out IGN. I'm calling out Enthusiast Press in general, right? It's one of the reasons you're seeing such a contraction in layoffs and money be harder to make and find jobs there. It's because of this idea of like, how does...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
And it's crazy as somebody who started in 2007 and the dot coms were the new thing that were disrupting the industry and putting old media out. You know, I'm talking about magazines, putting old media out of business. How does old media like a dot com now stay relevant when it is? Well, first off, who the fuck cares what the score is?

And then our final one right now in this conversation, Dean 8149 says, Cyberpunk 2077 and other buggy games also had a day one patch. You can't take devs word that it'll solve all your problems. Glad in this case, it seems it has. Yes, that has in my years been a traditional out of every review guide you get.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Hey, there are a lot of known issues in here, but there's a day one patch and you have to ignore it. Or when it gets there, see if it updated your issue. Cause that is like that. I have seen so many games be like reviews. Hey, there was all these things, but we're not knocking them because there's a day one patch and then it doesn't do shit for it. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
You can't, you have to review the experience you had. And again, the way games criticism currently works with a.com or even the YouTube videos or podcasts, it is set in stone, but then we do have the power to have Paris pop in today.

STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Number two, Steam's season pass policy has been updated. Warning developers must be, quote, ready to clearly communicate, end quote, DLC content. This is Ed Nightingale over at Eurogamer. Valve has updated its Steam policy on season passes, warning developers that if they're not, quote, ready to clearly communicate, end quote, about DLC content, quote, they shouldn't offer a season pass on Steam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Now, when a season pass is made available on Steam, developers must adhere to new guidelines, which include providing a complete list of DLC in the pass, a basic description of its content, and expected release date. Further, a season pass must include at least one released DLC when available for purchase. Parentheses, those season passes included in pre-purchasing a deluxe edition are exempt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Quote, by offering a season pass, you are promising future content, Valve's new guidelines read. In the process of launching a season pass, you will be asked to commit to a launch timing for each content release in the season pass. That launch timing is a commitment to both customers and Steam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
If you aren't ready to clearly communicate about the content included in each DLC and... When each DLC, they put it in all caps, and... When each DLC will be ready for launch, you shouldn't offer a Season Pass on Steam. Valve does acknowledge development can go awry and release dates aren't always met.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
As such, it will allow developers to self-reschedule the release date once during the Season Pass, though the new date must be within three months of the original scheduled date. Further, and importantly for users, if a specific DLC in a Season Pass is cancelled, customers will be offered a refund for the value of the unreleased DLC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Quote, under the Steam distribution agreement, you have provided a warranty to Valve that your DLC will conform in all respects to the descriptions provided to customers, including promised release dates. Even if there has not been a customer complaint, Valve may take action if you delay a DLC more than a quarter, parentheses, three months, beyond the release window you originally promised.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
End quote. Goddamn. Hey!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
I like that a lot. Yeah, yeah. I mean, no downside for a consumer, I think. It will be fascinating to watch how the industry wrestles with this. Of course. Because I do think for a small, independent team, obviously... difficult, but manageable. You have your eyes on the thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
When you're a big publisher and you're putting out a bunch of different games on Steam and these kind of things are happening, how are you keeping up with all that? How are you moving that? When you're Ubisoft, right, who stayed away from Steam for so long, but it's finally coming there, right? They're big on season passes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Who fucks this up?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Yeah, it'll be really, really interesting to see how that goes on or whatever. But yeah, it's cool. You know what I mean? I think in a world where video games get knocked so much for their monetization, we just did a Gamescast not too long on it, to see Valve Steam, the PC platform, wrestle with this and try to figure out how to do it. I'm interested.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Yes and no. I mean, in that very specific example, you're saying, yeah, that's going to happen. Obviously, if you've already used your one freebie and now you're coming up on another, yeah, you're going to. And then maybe the DLC you put out sucks ass because it's broken or buggy or whatever. Like, yes, that exists. But at what point do you want to stop passing the buck?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
I think this isn't reading on this one. It isn't so much about trying to punish developers who are struggling as much as trying to get publishers who are selling smoke. hey, we're promising all this stuff, or not even. It's a DLC pass and it has this, and then question marks more later. You know what I mean? I think they're trying to get away from, hey, we can just promise whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
We'll figure it out. I think they want, no, you need to have this figured out. It honestly, even though it's years and years and years later, sounds so much like what people were mad at Batman Arkham Knight for. My example that I always come back to where it's like, they promised a Batgirl DLC and a bunch of other shit. I'm in. And then people are like, that's outrageous. You can't do that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24

You can't take money. So it's the same thing here of like, if we were promising whatever for the kind of funny membership and then saying, well, we promise you this and then question marks. We'll figure it all out. Not at all. Like, you know, when you get the merch, we don't tell you what it is. Season of Infamy was fucking cool as shit, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
For sure. Cool. I like that. Number three, quote, Atlas is one of our most successful acquisition deals to this date. End quote. Sega reports strong sales for Metaphor Refantasio. This is Amber V at... Is that automation? I feel like I'm missing a vowel there. Yeah, I think so. I think you're missing a vowel. Automaton. I don't know. There's an automation. That's how I spell it. Automata.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Yeah, that's how you spell automation. I don't know what the fuck this site is. Automaton. Sega Sammy Holdings, the parent company of Sega Corporation, recently held a shareholders Q&A session regarding its earnings for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, giving some updates on the video game sector.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
When asked about the performance of its two recent big releases, Sonic Cross Shadow Generations and Metaphor Refantasio, the company reported that both games are performing well against sales targets, with the former expecting to see a further boost from the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film, which hits theaters next month. Yep.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Sega Sammy cites the high quality of both games as well as effective marketing strategies as the main contributors for the strong performance. Moreover, in a separate answer, the company goes on to call Atlas, the developer of Metaphor Refantasio, and the Persona series one of the most successful M&A deals to date.

Sega won a bid to buy the Atlas brand and its bankrupt parent company Index Corporation back in September 2013, eyeing its high-value IPs such as Shin Megami Tensei and Persona. Commenting on the developer's recent success, Sega Sammy said, "...in the past, Atlas had limited resources and often narrowed down sales to specific countries, regions, and platforms."
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
But by joining forces with Sega, they have gained the capability to expand their targets. We believe that the strong start for Metaphor Refantasio was made possible by the high quality of the product, as well as Sega's publishing power that facilitated a simultaneous worldwide launch on multiple platforms.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
I think the question there is... There's not enough context there. I think what you need to really take in is the struggle of Sega, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
And I'm talking about, yeah, obviously the console war is losing that, but then Sega was adrift for so long, putting out shitty movie tie-ins for Iron Man, not great Sonic games, and I know there are some great Sonic games, but I'm not the guy who can fucking do this. You know what I mean? I can't fucking cipher through all the songs. But it was that thing where I think Sega was...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
and around, and I'm not at all the Sega historian to that. I'm not sure when they bought this, where they were. I think that was the gamble more of, oh, becoming Sega Atlas, is that going to move the needle? And yeah, we had seen, obviously, the success of Persona. I had reviewed them at IGN. We knew it was big in Japan. It was gaining steam here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
But again, it was a PlayStation-exclusive franchise, to their point, right? Again, to them, talking about their targets, right? Where it was, hey, we're targeting where... I forget what the gap was of Persona 4 being released in Japan and then getting to America. You were having these things where when you were breaking it up that way, I really do feel like you lose the zeitgeist.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
You lose that big impact. You lose the ability to say, hey, we've sold X million units because suddenly it's like, well, we sold this many over there, and we assume in America we will. But if we just put out the Japan numbers, that doesn't sound interesting. And then you get to the point where we put them all together for the worldwide numbers later on.

Yeah, I think this is one of those rare occasions where you do, honestly, I think Pat Sagan on the back for this, of coming in when Atlas was bankrupt and this could have gone any way, doing this and then clearly feeding them the resources and being like, do what you fucking do, right? We talk about Xbox and they're buying everybody and they're doing this thing. Sagan was like, do what you do.

STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth stands as one of the biggest titles of 2024 and is nominated for multiple Golden Joystick Awards and Game of the Year, among other awards, at this year's Game Awards. That's a lot of Game Awards conversation in there, you know what I mean? Game Awards is being used a lot. The second chapter of the ambitious remake trilogy... Yeah, okay. Fans... So, again, the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
The journalism school beating me in the head. You'd get dinged on this. Uh-oh. Because the second chapter of the ambitious remake trilogy, comma, should then be Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Because you're talking... So to say the second chapter of the ambitious remake trilogy, comma, fans... No, that doesn't work. Because then you're saying the fans are the second chapter of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Jen Moeller at Mizzou would be all over me on this one. The red pen would be out. I can't do it. Fans have been curious as to whether they can expect any DLC in the same way. The team at Square Enix added a new chapter dedicated to Yuffie when it brought the first part to PS5. As part of a wide-ranging conversation with the game's director... Hold on. Naoki...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Hamaguchi, we asked if fans can expect anything similar with Rebirth and were told not to expect any expansions, but for a good reason. Quote, we definitely do hear the desire from fans, the voices out there that want that kind of thing. I understand it completely, but I think from my perspective, what the fans really want to see the most is not necessarily DLC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
They want to see the third part of the series as quickly as possible. So... So... So... That's why we've decided not to focus the development resources on creating additional extra episodes for DLC at the moment. We really are putting all our efforts into getting the third game out as quickly as we can. So for the moment, that's where we're focusing our time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
And I would throw into, I'm not privy to the numbers, and I know it came with the PS5, so it's a bit different, but how many people played the Yuffie DLC? Thank God.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
You can go to the Gregways, where I did one about single-player DLC, where somebody was like, hey, with the success of one of the more, oh, cyber, yeah, well, cyberpunk, and then they threw something else in there that's Shadow of the Earth Tree. Do you think you're going to see a revival of single-player DLC?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
And I was like, absolutely not, because most people are not putting in big things like that, and they'd rather move out of the other game. Spider-Man, City That Never Sleeps, PlayStation and Insomniac saw the return on it and were like, that's bad. Spider-Man, Spider-Man Miles Morales, that's great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
So if we're going to do, rather than do a DLC, do an eight-hour little campaign game that you can do whatever with, I think, for that very specific example. And I think you see that reflected everywhere else. And I'd imagine here, they look at how many people played Yuffie, how many people got to the end credits, did all this stuff. It's like, did this matter? Was this worth it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
The first part is me being unable to remember what I wanted to talk about on Gregway. And I give you some funnies. Then the middle part is me remembering what it was because I stopped. I was like, I'm going to stop this Gregway and I'm going to think no music, no podcast. Of course, my brain dusted off, found it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Granted, it's like trying to get people to come back to the game for a different reason as well. Of course. But I think, yeah. If you look here and you're like, all right, cool, this will take it from being four years till the third installment to two and a half. Oh, okay, yeah, DLC. I'm going off of the first game coming out in 2020. It took us four years to get here for the second game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Third game with DLC use four years, maybe contract that, maybe stick to four. I think they're going to make way more money off a $70 box game than whatever DLC they put out. And then Valve's going to be knocking on the door about the season pass stuff. Barrett, Courtney, to you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
And then over here, Danny says, that Eufy DLC was PS5 exclusive, so maybe it was part of an exclusivity deal. It definitely was, which is another thing as we see those deals start to fall away. Of course. I mean, they still exist, clearly, obviously. But I'm saying, as that stuff becomes a little bit rarer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Okay. Well, Final Fantasy Remake 3 will be big news. But frankly, Mike, I don't need any more big news for my final day in the office. I need some small news. Where would I go for the tiniest news I need to know about?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24

STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
So then it's me talking about my cousin coming to me and saying, hey, do I get a PlayStation 5 or do I get an Xbox? I'm going to ask Santa for this. And I said, Paige, you've come to the right man. And so I started asking her all these different questions. You said, look at your phone. This is an Xbox. I did that exact fucking thing, Mike. I did that exact thing. Blew her mind.

Tales of Kinzera Zao received a new update, adding three new spirit trials to each of the game's locations and more. Congratulations, though. From game developer Hyper Lightbreaker developer, Heart Machine has laid off a quote-unquote portion of its workforce.

STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
The studio confirmed the news in a statement sent to Game Developer and said it will be providing all impacted employees with severance and several months of health care. Ah, too bad to hear. Yeah, it sucks. Okay. From IGN, Fortnite just raised its Battle Pass price for the first time ever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Fortnite has long offered its standard Battle Pass for $950 V-Bucks, but starting November 1st, the price will increase by $50, bringing its total ask to $1,000 V-Bucks. Is that just a cool $10? I forget if it's cool. Cool, but it's right around 10, right? Yeah. I'm going to look up V-Bucks pricing right now because I believe. He's on it, everybody.

While you do that, Eduardo, I see this every day when it finally happens. Eduardo, why did they change the music? We did this a while back and made a big deal about it, but not everybody listens to everything, which is fine. We understand. But as you may remember, Nintendo put out their little music app. Which means Nintendo's getting kind of serious about their music, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
So it's probably in our best interest not to fucking be using Nintendo music.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Which will still be a huge problem when it happens. When they're like, hey, we're going to rip out 474 episodes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
It's probably just like we want to make more money off of this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
We're probably making less money than we were last quarter, year over year, because of a million different reasons we think. So this is an incremental change where literally if you... I mean, I personally think that when I buy a season pass in Fortnite, it's worth it. I think there's a lot of great shit that they do.

Number one on the Roper Report, Stalker 2 launches big on Steam as dev promises fixes for rough edges. This is Wesley Yenpool at IGN.com. Stalker 2, Heart of Chernobyl, has enjoyed a big launch on Steam, becoming one of the most played games on Valve's platform on release day. Ukrainian developer GSC Game World's post-apocalyptic horror shooter saw a peak concurrent player count of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
113,587,000 on Steam. A number that was enough to place Stalker 2 in the platform's top 10 most played games list. That dwarfs the Steam peak concurrent count for all other Stalker games, including 2007's Shadow of Chernobyl.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
It also has a, quote, very positive, end quote, user review rating on Steam, despite suffering from various bugs detailed in IGN's Stalker 2, Heart of Chernobyl Review and Progress. GSC Game World has told fans it plans to address these bugs with a series of patches. Quote, Stalker 2 is a massive game. We understand that in such a game, there may still be rough edges.

Snow, Bicycle, Michael, one of the big conversation pieces yesterday on our review in progress, or review so far, was why give it to reviewers in this state, then put a day one patch out for day one players, right? And I think we went around and around, and one of the things I ended up saying there, right, is that Reviews really don't matter like they used to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Maybe they never did, but the illusion, at least, of how much a review matters is kind of gone. And I think you can look at this and see that, right?

Sometimes you think about Bruce Green and all the decisions he's made. He's like, I'll have the kid. I'll just never see it because I'll play Chernobyl for 12 hours. Bruce Green, look yourself in the mirror. You know what I mean? Look yourself in the mirror. Think about what you're doing out there. Hard at Chernobyl for 12 hours. Change a diaper for 12 hours. You're sick of me. I miss you, Bruce.

STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
I thought the other interesting thing you're talking about, part of it, was the blowback. Not to the kind of funny review. It was there, though, I guess. But in general, yesterday, the amount of people I saw saying, like, it was unfair of reviewers to review this, and you should have waited, and you should have done this. And I find that such an interesting argument, where it is that

STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
When we're given the game by a publisher, given an embargo, you want to hit that embargo. Of course. And it is then... Your review is going to be based on what you did. I saw, of course, Jordan Middler on VGC yesterday being very open, talking about the double-digit hours he put into it, right? And then to get this patch with 48 hours before you go to jump over there. Like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I've been there since the day one when they launched the creator stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
What are you going to do with that? Why would that... You know what I mean? Like, how does that work out? And it is, as always, an ongoing discussion, I think, of what video game press, enthusiast media, whatever you want to fucking call this job, how that all shakes out. But it's been fascinating to see another renewed example of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
I guess even a polarizing example of what the game we're given, what reviewers are given versus what's actually launching.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

That's when it's like, okay, now we're getting to some real cool stuff.

STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Of course that's happened a ton of times. I'm trying to remember the last gigantic one that happened this way. I see. You know what? This is a full stop. You know who's a dirtbag? Oh. Paris fucking Lily. Okay. In the YouTube chat, call me, call me, call me. And then everyone's like, give us Paris. Paris, you know how fucking Discord works.

STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
So I feel like he's just doing it just to do it. Well, that's the thing is I don't want him posturing for the people. I've had enough of the fucking phonies. Come in here. Let me give you another example of Paris Lilly, the fucking phony. We go to yesterday at 9.29 a.m. Can I pop on KFGD during the Xbox cloud on your own game stuff? And then he says, oh, wait, wrong day, Blessing Tim tomorrow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
And I go, did you make contact with them? 30 minutes later, he goes, no, got a meeting, so it won't work. So again, he's pandering to me. Pandering to me trying to, he probably knew that it was a Blessing Tim episode. He just wanted to make it all. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
STALKER 2 Studio Promises To Fix Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.21.24
Call him in. Get him in. Ladies, gentlemen, and NBs, I'm just begging you from the bottom of my heart just to read between the lines with Paris Lilly and every other grifter out there. Oh, no. Oh, no. He's the positivity peddler. They got negativity peddlers. I'll put them all in the same peddler bucket.

My personal, this is my personal, for me personally, my most infamous example of this, which is I'm sure there has been far worse in my career, but the one that hit me the hardest was a little game called Hot Shots Golf Open T2. This was a PSP sequel on PSP to Hot Shots Open T1, which I adored. So I got this game, played this game, loved this game for what it was, but it had problems.

And on top of that, it's interesting because this is not a mainline game. This is a Legends game, and we've only had one Legends, so we don't know if this is going to just be very similar to Legends Arceus, or if Legends can kind of be more anthology-like in terms of gameplay.

slight variations on that game to game but that's kind of like all right cool we know what we're getting into pokemon legends like took place in the past and it was like the origins of learning yeah you gotta remember you fell through a portal you went back in time yeah and it there was no gyms there was no the the battle system was different like the gameplay was different like you're walking around and actively kind of catching it's a bit more active i remember that actually as opposed to and still turn based but like there was more active elements to it

Yeah. High quality stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
But because we only had that one, I just don't know what to expect. And because they didn't show us any real gameplay here, I think that this is going to be somewhere in the middle between what we got last time with Legends and a more core Pokemon game. But we'll find out next week of what that ends up being. But they are going to position this as a major release.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Even though it's not a new generation, it is still... They're trying to make Legends the second...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
vertical of mainline games for them sure um so high expectations there on top of that reb kind of killed it here with like what to expect exactly pokemon presents pokemon has so many different things to talk about whether it's uh unite the mobile game um the masters which is the battling uh mobile game the pokemon cafe remix uh pokemon go and they do always update about every single little thing so we're gonna get a lot of that type of stuff
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
How long are you expecting this to be? They're usually like 30 minutes. But then there's always that X factor of what don't we know, right? And with that, we can always talk about when are they actually going to bring the originals to Nintendo Switch Online.

There's been rumors circulating, and by rumors, I mean some guy really, really wants it that's not named Tim Geddes, but Tim Geddes also wants it. Actual physical collections of the old games being released. I just, I hope so. George Huffman in the Super Chats wants a possible Gen 5 remake. Gen 5 remake is due.

Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
But we're just in a weird time because Pokemon, clearly they realize that people are upset. That hasn't really affected them in the past. They're still selling millions upon millions upon tens of millions of copies. But Pokemon ZAs can be really telling to me of like, how much effort are they putting into this? Or are they still Game Freak? Are they still just doing the same old thing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
But going back to the classic games, We're in a weird time right now because next year is the 30th anniversary. Sure. And the next generation is Generation 10. That's big deal stuff, right? I don't know if... We're going to hear about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
I don't think it's a sure thing by any stretch of the imagination, but strategically, I do think it could make sense to focus on ZA in this one, but give some type of like hint or tease or just confirmation of and to celebrate Pokemon's 30th anniversary. We're doing Gen 10. It's a Switch 2 game and announce that there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
I don't think that's going to happen, but I am just putting it out there that, like, I think that that could be cool to have that longer kind of cycle going into preparing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Yeah, but do you want to step on your big release that you're still trying to create this, like, brand up? But they've done it before. Nobody's going to stop. Nobody's going to stop. Nobody would stop. Like, Scarlet and Violet was being talked about, and then they announced Legends Arceus. So... You know, they do things differently. We're on the precipice of a Nintendo console launch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
So I think that there's a lot of possibilities, which makes this presents exciting. And this is a presents that has very low chance of disappointing because we know that take that one of the best.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Break that out and sit on it for next week. In terms of things that we... There's been program represents that nothing cool shown at all. Of course. But this, we know ZA is going to be shown. Could that game look disappointing? Absolutely. But at least we know there's going to be something there that's going to be worth newsworthy. Sure, sure, sure. Fair, fair, fair. So I'm excited.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
I'm excited for all that. But I... I... ZA isn't something that's necessarily blowing my skirt up right now. Calypso wasn't my favorite of the places, and I'm excited for more Mega Evolutions. But overall, I'm excited for Gen 10. Of course. So I'm kind of like, let's see what's up with A. No matter what, I think it's going to be good.

Bunch of guys dressed like mimes? Let's fuck them up. Like, Kalos is an entire region, but, like, that city is Lumiose City, which has the fake-ass Eiffel Tower in it. And so far, it seems like this game is going to be really focusing on, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
theoretically a fleshed out city like it's not about the entire region it's more about like you can carjack anything yeah exactly gta for pokemon but um yeah we'll see next week how it all shakes out but i i'm hopeful um i think them taking the the year off was a very good thing i just don't necessarily believe that uh it's what was needed yet i feel like like maybe more

So... Gen 4, Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl. That was the one that infamously Lessig and I did our impressions on, and on the thumbnail it said, this is boring. People were really upset at us. That was the very chibi art style one. Every other remake of the Pokemon game so far has been like, pretty well regarded for the most part.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
And then this one was just like such a clear cash grab of just, hey, we got to get this done. It was made by a different team that is not the core team at all. And it just didn't have the stuff at all. And unfortunately, man, I think that if we ever do get a Gen 5 remake, I think it's going to be like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
have my fingers crossed that the idea of an actual physical collection of these games is a reality one they want to make money so i can see them doing that but two i feel like just adding the thing of yeah now it is compatible with pokemon home so for the first time ever you really could have all of the games being able to trade uh with each other gen one to gen three to gen nine like all of that like via home that'd be incredible incredible um but yeah i i

No, no, it's horrible. Yeah, but I get it. You know, they don't want me to keep buying there. So what? This is it. Bullcott and Starbucks. Oh man, this is what it was.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
That's why I'm hopeful, but it just sounds too good to be true. But then when it sounds too good to be true and you think through the financial ramifications, you're like, it just makes sense, Nintendo. Why not? Or Pokemon Company.

I don't know, man. We're in such a weird place. I think it's just going to be Switch 1. I think it's a Switch 1 game, period. So, yeah, I think it's going to be Switch 1. And, like, the low frames, yes, it will have a look to it. Let me put it that way. Okay. But I don't think it's going to be that bad.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Like, that would be such a good decision if they made it. Just a portable little tiny game where you just could play the original Pokemons? Yeah. Come on, man. I feel like... Again, money on the table. I think they're just strategies like, how do we make the most money from the old Pokemon games as possible? And I think that they're hedging their bets. They're waiting.

Tony Knox Pro Skater 1 plus 2 remake. If I'm being real to what's in here. That's what's in there, your heart. It might be it. Wow. I'm not saying it is, but it might be it. Wow.

Yeah. But love her as an actress. Looking at this poster, I'm like, that's Abby. You know, like enough for me. Cool. But we were talking about this recently. Like, I am very interested in how different a character Caitlin's Abby is going to be compared to the Abby we saw in the game. Sure.

Mainly because I think that her physicality was a very important part of her character, of building up for that revenge and preparing for that fight.

So I'm interested to see, and I have full faith that they're going to have some type of different characterization to make it work more for the plot of the show that they're building, which will most likely feature a way more expanded role for Jeffrey Wright as Isaac. So I think that compared to season one and the first game, I do think that this is going to take more liberties.

None of the first one didn't because, I mean, the whole spores, right? Like the pretty big aspect of the first game. The mushroom network. Totally changed to be this mushroom network. So yeah, full faith. No reason not to be hyped as hell and totally believe in this. And these posters just continue me thinking that.

I can't stress over this right now. So I apologize. No one hates this more than me. But I'm not even going to put a date on it until I have a file that is uploaded on YouTube that is ready to hit Premiere. But I mean, it's done. So it is just a matter of troubleshooting things actually happening. But I'm very proud of it. It's awesome. I think people are going to really, really enjoy watching it.

It is 6 a.m. It's a tough one, though, because I really want to. I want to live react because Pokemon Presents are such a mixed bag because sometimes they are actually the worst showcases of all time. However, they're the worst showcases of all time in the like, oh my God, this is so freaking bad. I can't believe how bad it is. This is hilarious way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Unlike the Capcom showcases that when they're bad, it's just like, why do we do this? Wow. This is actually a waste of time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
But we're not live reacting, live reacting, but we're delayed reacting. Exactly. So what I was setting up here is that I wanted to show up for them because they've been showing up for me. There's been some really, really, really good announcements, some really exciting things, some exciting omissions even that Red was kind of talking about there. But for this one, I'm expecting good things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
I don't necessarily think this is going to be the one to change the world or anything, but I do want to at least record our live reactions to it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
9 a.m. Pacific, our time. So three hours after it actually premieres, we will be live reacting here. It's me, Andy, and Bless. We're going to stay off of social media and everything, total media blackout until we watch it. So you'll be able to see our live reactions for the first time to everything announced. And then we'll do a post-show breakdown.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Yeah, so I'm excited for this. I feel like we're going to get, at the very least, a real look at Pokemon. Is that really what we call it, by the way? Well, it's Pokemon ZA. I don't think it's called ZA, but we're going to call it that forever. It's a weird title. I actually hate the title. We'll see what it actually is really supposed to entail and all that stuff when we get more information.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
No, because what it is, Greg, is we had Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Ruby, Sapphire, Crystal. There's always favorites. There's the third version that would come out, right? Yeah. So when Pokemon X and Y came out, everyone was like, oh, they're going to put out Pokemon Z. But that never actually happened. So now the Legends games, the first one we got was Legends Arceus. I just called it that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
That's placed Gen 4 Sinnoh region. This one is then taking place Gen 6, which is Pokemon X and Y. So we're going back to... uh kalos which is essentially france um and because of that i think they're just being a little cheeky about it you know what i mean okay uh the 2a we'll see or dash a whatever um but we we don't know anything about this game uh it has which is exciting It is, definitely.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
It's a different naming structure, kind of, than Legends Arceus. Like, that made more sense, where it's like, alright, cool, this is going to be more of like an origin story, and we kind of get what we're going into here. That game took place in the past. We didn't even know that about this one. We just got a trailer last year that was more just kind of vibes-based than gameplay at all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Kevin, can I see that trailer again? And what's exciting about it is... A couple different things. One, this is probably going to be the first game that is going to be played on the Switch 2. I don't think it's going to be a Switch 2 game. Sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
That's exciting. It might be. I just still don't understand how Nintendo is going to handle that stuff. My theory is it's just going to be a Switch game and that's it. Maybe you get some enhancements. I don't think it's going to be like everything's 4K or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Pokemon Z-A. And the other exciting thing is this is the longest it's been for a very long time that we haven't got annualized Pokemon games. Sure. And after the last one we got was Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. We got two big DLC packs for that. But the fact that it's been this long, only a little over a year since we've had a full on Pokemon game. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
The expectations are a little higher on this one. You know? Hopefully, like, we look at it and don't immediately go, ugh.

Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I think that there's just too many things at play, and they have to just get things out there and start the process, even if it's going to really not be fun, and it's going to be incredibly expensive, or who the fuck knows? There's so many factors of potential disaster with the Switch 2 launch, but I do think that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
quote-unquote, no matter what happens, there's obviously some whatever that could mean, the Switch 2 is selling out. So let's get that going. Let's get these things in as many people's hands as possible, right? If I was Nintendo, that's what I would be thinking because what are you delaying for?

Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
And while that is true, like them announcing at the worst time, it's like – There was no right time though. Like, cause the people would be so upset if we still didn't know the date of the switch to sure. You know, at least now there's some target of like, we're looking at them and I believe it's going to hit June 5th. But if, if they just showed the switch to her, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
And we have to sit and theorize for months more. Is it summer? Is it fall? I hear you. That would suck. But again, we're kind of doing that anyways.

No, this is his actual birthday, yeah. Adoption day was July 3rd. Okay. But yeah, when he was turning one, this was like in the pandemic, 2020, we were going to like throw him a birthday party at the park and everyone's going to bring their dog and it was going to be a whole thing. And he has his little hedgehog that like he loves so much. And we made a cake that was the hedgehog. Yeah.

Sucks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
The problem is, it's like there's no understanding of what we're waiting for. What we're talking about, yeah. Right? So I feel like it's not like, oh man, Trump's going to have a press conference on... Nintendo Switch 2 and video game consoles. You know, whatever. So it's like, I feel like it's just going to get to a point where...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Hold out as long as you can because I don't think there's any need to get ahead of it. To your point, it's going to sell out no matter what.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Yeah. So I would say that at that point, it really just is a matter of... making sure that the supplies are where they need to be and being able to get the people the system. And I think that they've already done a lot of that work. So I feel like this thing could go up as late as... I mean, I think a month is the most realistic thing, but I do think even two weeks and you'll be okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Because, again, they've already been prepping for the shipments of this shit. Sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
that's where it is that's where the two weeks doesn't sound right i mean in amazon maybe but like amazon's the weird one though because they have a weird history of nintendo anyways of sometimes not even having their systems at all um so that might be a down the line like this might be a you gotta get it from nintendo situation um and if that's the case then yeah who cares yeah yeah yeah yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25

Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Yeah, I'm with that. I don't feel confidently about putting out a price that I'm like, yes, I bet it's this because we just simply don't know what's going to happen. But if I did have to bet, I don't think they changed the price for launch. And I do think that gives them the wiggle room later because I feel like Nintendo...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
They want as much money as possible, but they're also not trying to steal from people. So I feel like they want to get this thing out there. They want the initial launch of the Switch 2 to be as...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
well received as possible because this is the start of a generation this is the start of their sole source of major money for the next 10 years right yeah so i feel like they it's so important for them to get that right and we've seen them before get things wrong many times even like the 3ds coming out and within months getting a price drop and then having to come up with ambassador programs and coming up with make goods and stuff to to fix that

Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
That's rough, man. I know. Because, again, I just feel like it's... It's make-believe numbers talking about real money, and that's what gets scary. We know the value of money to us, the money that we have. We don't know what that correlates to, to this nebulous, oh, tariffs are going to change things, and the cost of things are going to go up. We don't know what that's going to look like.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I can't even answer that question myself. You know what I mean? Would I spend $1,000 on the Switch 2?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I mean, I would. I undoubtedly would. I spent $700 on a PS5 Pro. I want to play my Switch 2 games. I want to play in 4K. I have the money to be able to do that. Would I spend more than that? Probably not. And I know that I'm on the fucking high end there for that. But if that's what it costs, it's what it costs. There's no world I don't get the Switch 2. Is there? I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I also don't even think that's crazy. $600 for the Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Yeah, I mean, for me, I'm taking work out of it entirely. Just how much I enjoy Nintendo games and how much I play my Switch. And that's my thing is where I'm not that guy. That's why I don't think that everybody should. If the Switch 2 is $600, I don't think, oh, yeah, hey, it's worth it for everybody. But is it worth it to me? Yeah, definitely. 1,000% it will be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
But that's a shitty position to put people in when... 100%. But again, it's not their fault. So, man. Costa says $500 is my max. Um... Living Legend says, Tim, did you play Donkey Kong in handheld and how did it run? No, when we were at the event, they were very, very like, this game's only TV. This game's only handheld.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer reiterates support for the Switch 2, saying Nintendo's been a great partner. This comes from Eric Van Allen at IGN. Following the reveal of the Switch 2... IGN, they're the ones who beat you at... They are. They got first place. It was Logan Plant. He was really good. He was very fast. He wasn't that far ahead of me. Just wanted to be known.

Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
It sounds like... Roger, run the footage. Sounds like the partnership between Nintendo and Xbox will continue apace. Oh, I've never heard that word before.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Yeah. I don't think I have, no. Crazy. Microsoft's head of gaming, Phil Spencer, recently reaffirmed his support for the Switch platform as a way for the company to reach people who aren't on its platforms. In an interview with Variety, Spencer was asked if he had any plans for specific projects on Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
The Xbox head said, just as his company has been supporting Switch 1, it wants to support Switch 2. Quote, Nintendo's been a great partner. We think it's a unique way for us to reach players who aren't PC players, who aren't Xbox players.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
It lets us continue to grow our community of players that care about the franchises we have, and that's really important for us to make sure we continue to invest in our games. I'm a really big believer in what Nintendo means for this industry and us continuing to support them. And getting the support from them for our franchises, I think, is an important part of our future.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Spencer's previously been a vocal proponent of Nintendo Switch 2. We know that stuff, blah, blah, blah. When Variety asked whether the Switch 2 reveal made Spencer antsy to announce what Xbox has next for its console lineup, though it doesn't seem like that's moved the needle there. No, I think all of us in this industry should focus on our communities and the player base that we're building.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I get inspired by what a lot of different creators do and other platform holders, but I believe in the plans that we have. Cool. Not surprising. What was surprising is no Xbox games at all in that Switch 2 Direct.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Yeah. I wonder why. There's been a lot of talks about dev kits not being out there. There was the three-phase report and all that stuff. Clearly, a lot of the big dogs got them. There was a couple surprising third-party things going on in that Direct. Star Wars Outlaws was there, but it wasn't featured. It was just kind of like, hey, it's here. Cool. We're getting Ubisoft support that way. Sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
They crushed it in terms of third-party support from software. Come on. Project 007, all that stuff. Great. But there were things that weren't there, and that is bizarre when we see Microsoft making these moves, multi-platform, and we've heard Phil Spencer talking about wanting to support Switch 2. They've already supported Switch 1. I'm not...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
upset because i know the games are going to come yeah yeah i thought that that was going to be a slam dunk guarantee that that stuff would be there what's your so do you think it is them being protective do you think it is nintendo being like hey let's not share that amount of spotlight no i think it's uh xbox being like we have an xbox showcase in summer and that's when we're going to do it all right interesting okay i think that this the xbox showcase this year is going to be dramatically different than what we've seen in the past like i think that talk to me about that what do you mean dramatically in terms of i mean they already talk about playstation logos being on there yeah okay

And Barrett, too. He chimes in quite a bit as one of our Mario Kart sickos. The stream after this is going to be Schedule 1. I don't like that face. Don't do that face. Which is going to be great. Joey, Nick, and Mike are going to become drug dealers.

Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Sure. In some way, shape or form. That was featured right on Xbox are treating Tony Hawk. Like it's one of their games. Like putting in the images of next to South of midnight and all that stuff. So yeah, that's a, that's a good point. But, uh, yeah, I just think that the Xbox showcase this year is going to feel more like, uh, a really, really, really good Ubisoft conference from the past, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I was just like, yeah, these games, every time it pops up, we're going to assume it's on all systems. Yeah, for sure. I think the Switch 2 reveal has proved that Nintendo came to play, and they're...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
exactly like the the tech is going to be able to play games like star wars outlaws that just came out last year yeah i don't think it's gonna be able to play every single game i definitely don't think it's gonna be the best way to play most games but i think it's going to be a good enough way to play most games in a way that the switch one simply was not sure um so yeah i think that the xbox game showcase we're gonna see a ton of new announced games and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Oh, yeah, I think so. And yeah, I've been wanting to do a Gamescast episode where we do look at Xbox games and kind of predict what's going to happen with the legacy content, like Master Chief Collection. What's that look like? And are they going to... enhance some of the old games. Like, what's the cutoff point? Like, what's it going to look like?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Obviously, not every single Xbox game ever is going to come to PlayStation and Switch, but I do think that we're going to get a handful of them. We already are with things like Forza. Is that going to come to Switch 2? I'm pretty sure it will, right? I just don't know when. I don't think it's all going to be at once either. Sorry, what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Yes, it is. But it's exciting. I think that this is going to be very, very big for Xbox. I think it's going to be a huge win for these games to be able to be everywhere.

Story number three, Nintendo Switch 2 VRR mentions disappear from their website. This comes from Jordan Middler at VGC. As part of Nintendo's Switch 2 reveal, the firm announced that the new console would support 4K, 120 FPS, and variable refresh rates. Now Nintendo seemingly removed mentions of VRR from several websites, officially.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
As noted by Digital Foundry's Oliver McKenzie, mentions of VRR had been removed from certain regional Nintendo websites at the time of writing. It's also been removed from Canadian, US, and Japanese versions of the site.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
VGC can confirm at the time of writing that the text is still present on the European version, but it's possible Nintendo's in the process of removing it from all versions and has yet to update its European site. Variable refresh rates allow supported TVs to display unconventional frame rates in order to provide a smoother experience.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
This allows games with uncapped frame rates to have wider performance flexibility in intense areas. VGC's contacting Nintendo for comments on this story. Not good. Definitely not good. I also don't think that this is the end of the world. Of course. But it's not good. For them to come out and have all of the buzzwords there in a way that we weren't expecting. Definitely we're not expecting. Um...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
But I also think that from my experience so far, there is that push with these games that at least the first lineup of games, it's 1080p, 120 frames per second, or 4K60 for these Nintendo games. And I think when it comes to the Nintendo games, I think VRR is going to matter less. I think VRR is going to matter, and this is going to be a big bummer to third-party games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Cyberpunk, right? Yep, yep, yep. So, yeah, it's like if they get rid of this stuff again, or if they don't have it, like, yeah, this is a bummer.

I don't know. And the thing, too, is... Again, this is not confirmed. This is just things being taken away from a website.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
But is it specifically talking about when it is connected to a TV or it works this way docked or undocked? I don't know. But yeah, I do not like this. And it continues this cycle of Nintendo losing control of the public's
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

rioting with the lack of information that we're getting or information changing and all that stuff so like definitely sucks to see like i i want to see a healthy nintendo that technically is on par with the baseline of the rest of the industry and this stuff nice to haves but they're very nice to haves and it's really sad to have them taken away

Andy was bringing this up on the reaction. I would love to go up to NPCs and have them talk to me. The story can just be like, there's a world. You know what I mean?

Quote, so I took the development status into account and got a grasp of the situation of competing titles that initially decided on a release date of September. However, about a month after deciding, I was holding my head in my hands saying, I messed up. When you delay the release of a game, of a major game like Final Fantasy XV, it really does cause trouble in a lot of places.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
It really was the greatest mistake.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
In the end, it was delayed from September 30th to November 29th, 2016. If you don't remember, Greg and I were the ones that announced it. The September dates. And it was a big-ass reveal. It was the biggest video wall I've ever fucking seen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
The greatest thing is they had the date-smitting right, and it was going to do the reveal, and it was November, and it was like, oh! And it ended up going up to September, and it's like... I just thought this was hilarious. It is so funny to have the kind of transparency being like, yo, we fucked up. We should not have done that.

Yeah. Who knows? Yep, yep, yep. There it was. Final Fantasy XV. What a time. Yeah, you ever stop and think about that, that we hosted that thing? I do. I often think about it. Yeah. I also often think about how Final Fantasy XV was so close to being amazing. Maybe not so close.

The potential is there. I feel like if you gave that game, and I know this is a crazy thing to say, but if you gave that game two more years, I think it would have been an all-timer. Okay, fair enough. Story number five. PlayStation Plus prices in Canada are increasing again. Oh, man. PlayStation Plus prices in Canada are raising for the second time.

On that date, the price of a 12-month PlayStation Plus Essential subscription will change from $95 to $110, an increase of $15. A 12-month PS Plus extra subscription. I hate this stuff, Greg. I know.

It's not that complicated. I'm not the biggest fan of people, like, when there's a chart, everyone making fun of it. Because it's like, yo, the chart's just fucking making this simple. But, like, also, does it need to be like this? You know? I mean, it makes sense when you read it. I just don't want to read it. I refuse, if I'm being honest. One's going up $35. Another's going up $35. One's $15.

Cool. Do the math on that. According to Sony's email, the price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service. Cool.

Story number six. Report. Ubisoft developing a new battle royale heavily inspired by Apex Legends. Comes from Tom Henderson at Insider Gaming. The game, which is currently under the project name of Scout, is so heavily inspired by Respawn Entertainment's highly successful Apex Legends that it was once used as the thumbnail for the project.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
It's understood that the game's been in development for at least a couple years and will feature, quote, very similar characters to Apex Legends, including a spin on Pathfinder, Wraith, Lifeline, and other characters from the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
One source said on the project, I think the goal is to capitalize on the player count of Apex dropping and Ubisoft higher-ups thinking there's room in the market for another Hero Battle Royale.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Interestingly enough, the project seems to go against Ubisoft's own internal research team, who recently asked the question as to, quote, what's next after Battle Royale, while citing the decline in players across various Battle Royale games, including Apex Legends. They figured it out, Greg. I'm so happy. I'm so happy that Ubisoft looked. They're like, how do we save ourselves?

And a best friend directed it. No way. Yeah, that's how I got in, which is awesome. But, yeah, it's a great documentary and a very fascinating story about a very fascinating movie, Goofy Movie.

It's insane.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
And the moment they revealed it, it's like, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Very cool. Good for them. In a new Nintendo Direct focused solely on the game, Nintendo revealed some of the game's new courses, including the retro-themed Mario Bros. Circuit, the urban Crown City, the canal-based Salty Salty Speedway, the snowy Starview Peak, and a new haunted course, Boo Cinema, that looked awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
New items set to feature in the game include the Coin Shell, which fires ahead, leaving coins behind, the Ice Flower, which freezes enemies, the Hammer, which flies in an arc and wedges into the ground for a while, causing chaos. for the other drivers. And Kamek, which transforms opponents just like in Yoshi's Island.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
It is. It is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Oh, I've been doing it. I can't stop doing it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
You saw it in your... Yeah, I got to play with all these items. And one thing that I didn't bring up in our direct breakdown was the focus on coins seems to be much higher in this game than in previous games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
It's still doing that, but it just seems like that stuff matters a bit more. I think maybe just with the 24 characters just having more, it's like the little... Specifically Knockout Tour, we've been saying that every lap, quote-unquote, feels like... The final lap. It feels like, oh, man, we got to get it because you get knocked out otherwise, right? And this is the one where you lost IGN.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Anytime I cold open.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Yes, it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
But I think that the little coin boosts are going to matter more because of that, where it's like every second of the race means more. So in addition to that, in older Mario Kart, you can get up to 10 coins. You can get up to 20 now. And there seems to be more items and stuff based around coins, like this coin block being an example of that, or coin shell.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I think that's how you find breaks down. That's probably what it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
And there's way more coin blocks, actually, that you can hit in the levels. So I don't know. I thought they were going to break a little more down into that in this direct, and they didn't. But from my limited experience, I think coins are going to matter a bit more.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
It's good. I like it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I wouldn't even say that. I think that me and you are in the same league.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Okay. I'm a curtain jerker, all right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Like I was saying, in my limited time playing this, it, in all the right ways, felt like Mario Kart 8. The drifting felt very similar. Just the way the jump felt. All of that stuff felt like Mario Kart 8, which is perfect. There are the grinding on rails. There is now the charged super jump thing. That stuff is going to dramatically change shortcuts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
And especially, it seems like a lot of these maps are... I do wonder if a couple years from now, we're going to have these maps memorized in our brains and just muscle memory as much as we have in the past. Or is because it's so free room, there's so many different options and mixes of the knockout tour.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Is it always just going to kind of feel like a fresh, almost procedurally generated type of situation? And I think then mechanically that might change how we play the game. You know what I mean? Like the way we're focusing on shortcuts might not be a, Oh, I know a shortcut is here. We, I need to save a mushroom. So I have the ability to make the jump in this specific place.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
And it's more just like a, at any moment, I need to be prepared to be able to jump over anything. a chasm because you know okay i have enough speed to get over there if i try or whatever you get i'm saying like it's a a minor difference there but i do think it'll dramatically change like the gameplay or the the pro strats the meta if you will okay yeah But I think you're going to be fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Yeah, I think it'll be. I think you said this during the reaction, but like we know what this game is. I don't think there's going to be any major surprises mechanically or feature-wise. I think some things will be cool. Of course. There'll be secrets, but I feel like, yeah, this is an open-world Mario Kart, and this is what an open-world Mario Kart's going to look like.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
It is not full-on Forza Horizon. It's Forza Light. Okay. Fair enough. Nintendo also detailed how outfits will work in the game. Races will feature dash food, and by collecting and eating it, characters will transform into an outfit related to that food. Eat sushi, and they'll wear a Japanese outfit. Once an outfit's been unlocked, it becomes available for use in the character select screen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
They are as well. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, when I was doing the free roam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
They'll just be in a bunch of random spots. It's like I jumped off like a van and there was one just kind of in the air and transformed me. In my experience, it seemed more random more often than not, where it wasn't like, oh, the sushi is the Japanese outfit. It was just like, you eat a burger and it turns you into a random ass thing. Sure, sure, sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
It didn't feel like there was too much rhyme or reason, even though I get that in this trailer, we're seeing a little bit more correlation there. Yeah. But I don't know. I don't love it. I don't love it. It seems a little chaotic for my taste. You know what I mean? It seems a little...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
forced of the oh yeah just randomly you eat food and it changes your outfit like i don't know something about that just doesn't it just feels like noise it just feels like adding stuff to add stuff here i don't know it does happen in real life eat something wrong turn your blue jeans brown you know what i'm saying I had the visual already, but like, man. The free roam option was... You know what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Yep, yep, yep, yep. The free roam option was also shown in more detail. Players can freely drive around the game's map, but also hit P switches to start missions, as well as find hidden coins, hidden panels, and more. Players can also free roam with others online and use a photo mode. The game will support four-player split screen on a single switch, too. Local wireless for up to eight players.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I absolutely agree with you that I didn't expect to get the pre-order information or any of that in this direct. Yeah. Because, yeah, it is a different beat and all that stuff. Having said that, I do think that contextually with where we're at, with all the Nintendo Switch news and how the information has been handled and the level of utter chaos we are in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I understand why people would be upset getting this direct two weeks after the last one and this being it. This felt like just an overview feature
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
trailer like extended thing for mario kart which yeah they often do this for games and they need to this makes sense again the content i think was great i just think the timing of this being pre-switch to launch in the time and place in 2025 we are right now i understand people being upset that it's like really like this game's fucking 80 you just show us that we don't even know when the pre-order is like i get why people are upset
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
If they are upset. I actually don't know if they are. Yeah, we don't know what the internet is. We stayed off the internet. I assume they are, because it's like, I'm with them to the extent of just like, I want these answers, but I also understand... What I don't want is answers from Nintendo that are just going to change because the answers are just based on things that are changing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25

Yeah, so I get that we didn't get the pre-orders there, but it is getting to a point now. It's April 17th right now. June 5th is the date that they stuck to in this direct. Like we're saying, anything can change, and I don't think that them saying that means, oh, for sure it's going to happen, but we talked a little bit about this earlier, but I'm with you that I think they hit that date.

Mein Argument wäre, dass diese kommen. Ich denke, dass es mehr darum ging, dass wir die Switch 2 machen. Es ist einfach größer oder besser, was du schon weißt. Ich denke, dass die Leute dann auch beachten würden, dass diese Accessories auch kommen. Ich denke, mit Switch 1 war es so, das ist eine brandneue Maschine. Was ist das? Ist das die einzige Möglichkeit, sie zu spielen? Es gab mehr Fragen.

If it's coming to Switch 2, it'd be cool to be a launch title there, right? If you launched across the board, had it already on all those. I don't know if you'd do that, but I think it'd be kind of cool if you did. Maybe that would make sense for why it's been kind of quiet and why they've been very laissez-faire about what dating it or saying when it's coming.

Especially with the legs Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has had, Nintendo knows that if we put this out, especially as a launch game, for the rest of eternity, when people buy Switch 2, they will buy Mario Kart alongside it and we'll get those people. No problem.

Für mich, ich kann nur über den Launch in diesem Fenster denken. Und jedes Mal, wenn jemand Animal Crossing für einen Launch bringt, bin ich verrückt. Weil ich nicht mal darüber nachdenken möchte. Ich will, dass es passiert. Aber ich denke nicht, dass es wirklich ist. Ich denke nicht, dass es zu bald ist. Es wird Jahre sein. Das ist, wie ich es immer sage.

Very exciting. Very cool. One thing I think I got confused by. Do we catch that the April 2nd isn't the release date? It's a Nintendo Direct date. Okay, cool. I saw it and thought release date and kind of forgot all about it. I just want to call that out. No, this looks rad.

Tim and I have been talking a lot on air and a little bit off air about me and Ben's new obsession with my Nintendo Switch and me looking at all the Zelda on there. I'm like, I got to get back to this. I got to do this. Und er sagt nur, warte, warte, warte.

putting into action the plan we've seen them building for so long yep and and taking it one step further there too like i was saying this a bit yesterday when we were covering that story but uh they're in the same way that i feel like there's incredible value in the education of these streaming services and just different ways to play games to the mainstream because that is such a giant market and audience to be able to continue the growth of video games especially getting out of this slump that we've been in the last couple years
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
But I do feel like the bridge between console and PC is getting closer and closer, which is a great thing for all gamers out there to have options to be able to play games and more places and platforms of value to have developers be able to put games to be able to have a big enough install base of people buying their games, even potentially buying their games, that audience.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
And I think that the portable PC gaming market, while small right now, is going to continue to grow astronomically in the next couple of years. And I do think that when all said and done, five, ten years from now, it's going to take up a sizable chunk of the market. I don't think it'll be near a majority, but I do think it can reach upwards of 10%, and that's very impressive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
Like, that is... We're talking about tens and millions of people that could then result in even more money. So I think that Xbox marketing themselves and talking about Xbox showing the Raj ally is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
Very, very, again, core to building the future so that when Xbox does put out their own portable, people expect it and understand what it is and that it might not work how the PlayStation Portable did or a Game Boy did back in the day, but it works in this modern way with everything in conjunction. I just think this is great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Manny Bagelboy Sanchez, Super Chat's in saying, I think the Xbox handheld would be the next gen of PC handhelds because at the moment, the portable PCs are Xbox already, which is why I think it's years away. Yeah, I think that makes sense. And I do think that we need to just kind of have that clean entry point. I do think when Xbox puts out a handheld, it needs to work. It needs to work well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
It can't just be like a, ah, like it's a okay device, but there's better options. It's like, and there could be better options, but there can't be, clearly better options at a similar price point and all that.

i think it needs to be more than that i i think it needs to be like i don't even know if i can compare it to a vr system necessarily um but perhaps the quest 3 or something where it's like it solves a lot of the problems that have existed already in the previous versions um because i do feel like there are a ton of i mean In this commercial, they show the ally, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
Like, there are already things that do this and do this well. So I think Xbox needs to do it in some ways the best because it is inherent Xbox hardware.

Caravan Sandwich, everybody. And then... Foxy Steve says, with every screen being an Xbox, my question is, does Microsoft really need to release their own handheld or can they just piggyback off an existing handheld? I mean, we've kind of touched on this, but I do think the move, the pro strat here is get it right, figure everything out on what exists and then put out your own that makes it
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
the simple answer for people that don't want to deal with any of the stuff. And it's just, this is the, the, the best way as an entry point for Xbox stuff, you're always going to be able to tinker in other places and spend more money. I do not think that the, I think a core thing for the Xbox handheld is it needs to be cheap. So that's the, it's not going to be a thousand dollars.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24

Exactly. That shit was blasting, and it made me feel good because I am a child of the 90s, as you very well know. Yeah. Grew up with Power Rangers, love Power Rangers very, very much. Obviously, it all started where it all began with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
And to see them go back to a classic old school type of video game, this being the classic arcade brawlers where you're going left to right on the screen, punching people until you kill them all. And then it says, go, go, go. And then you get to go to the next screen, that whole thing. We've seen a couple of these in recent times. I feel like there's a new TMNT one every day. But there's not.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
There's absolutely not. There was one amazing one called Shredder's Revenge a year or two ago, and I do feel like that is the gold standard at which we're playing here when it comes to these type of both nostalgia-driven games, but also just nostalgia from an IP base, but also from a gameplay style where we just don't get much of these anymore.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
I mean, every once in a while we get great ones like Scott Pilgrim, but that was a very long time ago at this point. Years and years and years and years. But the cool thing is we never got a Power Rangers one. Crazy. You know, we had X-Men, we had Simpsons, we had multiple Turtles, and that all made sense, specifically with ensemble casts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
But to have the Power Rangers in the 90s be as big as they were, 500 or six characters here with the OG5 and the Green Ranger, it's surprising that we never got one of these type of games, arcade-style games from the Power Rangers. On the Super Nintendo and the Genesis, we did get a couple Mighty Morphin Power Rangers games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24

Great stuff. I feel like they've suggested so many awesome retro game pages for me. Pokemon stuff. Things that I actually want. It's been great. But you're right. You go to the reels. The moment that you watch a reel you want to watch and you swipe up, it's no man's land. There is no consistency. There's no rhyme or reason. I don't know what's going on. It's just wild stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
The people making this game clearly understand and care so much about the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and translating that to a genre of game that they clearly care about so much. A lot of good going on here. Something I really want to shout out is you can play with up to five players, obviously, with all the Power Rangers, but that's awesome to have everyone on screen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
Compared to other games like this, I was shocked at the sheer amount of characters on screen at once at points, especially if you had a full squad. But there was points we were fighting like 20 putties at once. And that didn't feel normal for the Turtles games or other things. So it gets to be kind of chaos, but
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

So this is actually our gameplay. I was the Black Ranger, Zach. Max Scoville was Jason the Red Ranger. And a dude named Nick that I met for the first time was my boy Billy in blue right there. Yeah, not our Nick though. No, no, no. Our Nick wouldn't know what to do.

This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
We were playing this all together, and what was really fun about this is it takes itself seriously in the right ways, where Power Rangers is what it is, right? Yeah. You're actually playing through episodes of the show. Oh, cool. They're clearly calling them episodes that you're going through. But what's fun is this being Rita's Rewind.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
Last year, I want to say, they put out an anniversary special on Netflix called Once and Always. for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. And the plot of that was like, Robo Rita came from the future and is messing with time stuff and going back and whatever. So it's going through episodes from the classic show, but there's a twist. Oh, okay. But some things are kind of different and whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
I'm like, all right, that's... great because i feel like it allows you to just touch on all the nostalgic shit that you expect yeah but also surprise you in some fun ways um the the gameplay is interesting because the stages um that we played we played two different uh episodes how long is an episode

ballpark 30 minutes total that sounds like a lot that sounds like a lot maybe like 20 minutes um total but it's uh in three different sections where you start off doing the traditional kind of left to right uh brawling with your friends going through just punching and kicking everybody You also have a when you get your power meter all the way up, you can use a special and your power coin comes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
Each one has different elemental things. It's pretty cool. Okay. But then they switch it up with these very intensely Super Nintendo and Genesis styled vehicle stages. Oh. Where you get into... It's a classic Power Ranger thing. You beat up the bad guy. Rita's like, make my monster grow. And then the bad guy, Monster of the Week, turns big.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
And they play the scene, the classic scene of all the Zords, you know, the dinosaurs. Running together. Running together. And then you actually... Here it is. Thank you, Ben. Go, go, Power Rangers. And then you actually control in a Genesis-style... face the camera, shoot them up. Going up against like the big gold are here. But what's fun is the pixel art. Awesome in this game. Animation style.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
Awesome. There's a lot of fun and variation in terms of how they present the story. And a lot of it just feels very like you can even see here. They're using a lot of the effects of the Super Nintendo era, like the mode seven scaling and all of that stuff. the blast processing of the Sega Genesis, like all that old school shit. They're just throwing everything in at once, which is pretty fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
And then after this phase, what you expect to happen does happen. All the Megazord or all the Zords joined together to form the Megazord. There's a super sweet transformation scene. And then you are playing a punch out style game against the boss where there is footage of this as well. If you could pull it up, if you have a second. Where, yeah, so you get the sick-ass transformation scene.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
And then we have, like, Goldar's going to come at you, and it's framed very much like Punch-Out!! And you need to dodge his hits with left and right, just like Punch-Out!! And you're controlling the left and right hands as you're punching. What's cool about this is you take turns controlling it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
So I was playing right here. This is me. Playing so good at it. No, trying to get my head wrapped around it. And then after I fuck up, it then goes to the next person. They get a shot. I want you guys to see me die here. I think it's about to happen soon. I've been saying it for years. Yeah, right here. So then, yeah, you see all the rangers like, ah, this guy got it from here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
We're getting pummeled out there. Yeah, and then you switch off. So what I appreciate about it is it's very authentic to Power Rangers, and it's simple. It's fun. You're playing with friends. You can jump in, jump out the same way. You can imagine a game like this working that's retro but modern at the same time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
And I feel like the gameplay switches up frequently enough that you're not doing the same thing over and over too much, at least in what we played. Once you beat the boss in between the episodes, you then get to go to Ernie's juice bar from the show. You can walk and talk to different NPCs, including Bulk and Skull. Of course. Their little theme music plays when you talk to them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
There's just a lot of Power Rangers love put into this. So, yeah, I'm... Stoked for it. Really excited for more. I want to see what other weird surprises they have. Some of the set pieces that they have in this were really cool. They do the classic, you're on an elevator outside of a building as it goes up and enemies just keep jumping on. You have to beat them like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
as they're like going from like the normal putties to the putties with knife hands to the putties with you know bigger like hammer arms like it just like advances and advances uh but then when you get to the the top a big thing happens and all of a sudden the elevator starts falling down to the floor as you're like have to fight more people and it was just like a super fun thing where i'm like wow this shows such a love of these retro style games yeah well i mean that's digital eclipse man that's digital eclipse
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
In my experience with this game so far, it is not. I do think it is a step down. I can excuse that to an extent, though. I feel like the... Amounts that was put into shredders revenge. I think is just different.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
I think the budget levels are playing up, but there's love and care put in this They are very different games This in terms of gameplay I was very impressed with shredders avenge of like how deep it felt compared to the old-school games This feels on par with the old-school games It is a lot of hitting the same buttons over and over some of the Zord controls as you're like doing the the more like motorcycle chase stuff didn't feel great to play and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
It wasn't bad, but it just didn't feel like it was like, oh, I'm fully in control of this character and having a good time. It reminded me a lot of old arcade games, right? Where you're playing and it's fun because you're playing a video game, but it's not necessarily the best thing. And then the Punch-Out Megazord stuff, really hard for me to wrap my head around.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Simple but brilliant line of marketing for them for where Xbox currently are at and what I think that they need to achieve, which is educating people that do not talk about video games every day. Yeah. That you don't need an actual Xbox to be able to play Xbox games.

I think that over time, to Barrett's point, when you see one out of context, it's a little weird. But when you start to see... If that commercial plays during football games, and then you start to see the one-off things, I do think that is the education process that Xbox have really been missing in the last couple years.

And I always use this example, but my core group of friends that I grew up with that... really love video games and aren't nearly as dialed in as I am, but they play the call of duties. They play halo. They care about this stuff. They want to play halo, but they went PS five, you know, and they're, they, every once in a while, they'll see some tick tock or something.

That's like, Oh, all the Xbox games are coming everywhere. And it's like, yeah, they are eventually, but not yet. And it's, It's not Halo yet. You know what I mean? That type of thing. And I try to explain to them, yo, you can just get Game Pass. You can just use the cloud. But all that stuff, it's just I'm overwhelming them with things that they don't understand. You know what I mean?

This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
This, to me, I think is a great step towards a general understanding for people that are one step removed from... being full-on in a gaming ecosystem, but I also think it goes a long way for people that are multiple steps removed, where they see the, you can get with this, you can get with that commercial, and it gets you asking questions. You know what I mean?

This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
I feel like the next step is they need to bring the games. That's been the Xbox problem for many, many years. But all jokes aside, we are at a point now that I think it's undeniable that look at the last couple months and look at everything that they have talked about for next year, it does feel like we are already in the point of game, game, game, game, game coming out from them.

The things that I've seen people do on streaming platforms, I'm not sure what they are. But Twitter has went downhill. Really? I've been shocked in the last couple weeks how quickly, whether it's Twitter or my algorithm on Twitter, have devolved into just clips of streamers I do not know doing insane things on stream. Tell me about it, Solo. Ah, man.

Least of which, Call of Duty Black Ops 6, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
This Episode is an Xbox - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.14.24
So I feel like this marketing campaign, hot off the heels of the latest Call of Duty, I think it can be really, really effective. And I also think that it's important for two very different demographics that are key for Xbox, which is the millennials and then the youth, the Gen Z, the Gen Alpha. They don't want to be buying consoles. We're seeing that. We're seeing...

Exactly. And I think that it's like just, again, the education to the kids of you don't need this box to be able to play Xbox games and build that up for them so that when Xbox is putting out monthly bangers or... quarterly bangers or whatever it is, and a Call of Duty every year. Or just the steady stream of Game Pass. All that stuff. It's like, all right, cool.

When you hear the Xbox brand and you see a commercial for Gears E-Day or whatever, I think Gears is actually a perfect example of that is a brand that is going to Either for the young people potentially giving them interest of, oh, I've never played a Gears game, but I know people love it. Or for the millennial people of like, oh, I want to play the new Gears.

It's been so long since I played a Gears. This looks great. How do I play it? And they've had at that point a year of this type of marketing explaining to them, you don't need an Xbox. And hopefully that next step of them understanding what do I need is a quick Google away.

Yeah, and I think that it's the combining of those concepts, too, that I think is going to go really far for them, thinking to how PlayStation has its brand identity marketing campaigns of the different kind of eras of PlayStation and all the different things, the it only does everything and the best place to play and all the things that they've done.

That is a very hard thing to explain to people because you don't believe it. It reminds me of the switch.

I don't agree 100%, because I think... Avowed has come out and avowed it up. And people who love Avowed love Avowed. People who played it, Game Pass, et cetera, so on. You know, I enjoyed Avowed quite a bit. I think you wrap Avowed up and you are like, man, I'm jonesing for more of this. And then you can dovetail with Oblivion.

A few hours ago, The Verge's Tom Warren shared his own report in the latest Notepad newsletter. First, the project's correct codename is Kenan, not Kenan. Second, his sources revealed that the Xbox handheld's manufacturer is Asus. Asus. A-S-U-S. The device will run on Windows, of course, but it will feature an interface that is very much reminiscent of Xbox consoles.

This is reportedly part of a larger project codenamed Project Bayside to unify Xbox and Windows under a unified Xbox user interface, regardless of the device being used. Warren also wrote that Microsoft is working to ensure a single store for games and an easier way for game developers to create titles for handhelds, console-like hardware, and PCs.

Right now, Windows-powered PC handhelds don't really offer the most user-friendly experience, and Microsoft aims to address that with this initiative. Following Warren's report, Corden wrote another article to admit that the colleague was right on the Project Kennan codename.

He also corroborated that ASUS is indeed the chosen manufacturer and offered an estimate on the likely pricing, between $4.99 and $5.99. This could hint that the hardware could be using AMD's Z2 Go chipset previously seen on the Lenovo Legion Go S. The Z2 Go chipset is slightly slower than the Z1 Extreme and quite a bit slower than its larger sibling, the Z2 Extreme.

Now, a question about this DLC for you, Tim, is... How long do we keep getting Astro Bot DLC for?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Which is exciting. Super exciting. One thing I want to layer on top of that, having been to Team Asobi, the studio, is one of the things me and Roger got to see while we were there is their process in making levels. And one of the level designers, literally, he had us watching over his desk and showed us him essentially forming new areas in a level and kind of showed how...

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Easy is probably not the right word, but I guess streamlined everything is, and how much they've improved everything since even Astro Bot Rescue Mission and then also Astro's Playroom. They've taken those tools and really streamlined. So I do wonder if this is a thing of, hey, dude, like, I had some time in my free time. I'm just going to tinker around, make some new levels.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Oh man, this feels like it's building towards something. I think I can get this into a stage where we can push it as an update. Yeah, let's do that. Like that's free content for our players. That's goodwill. That's something that's, you know, going to be exciting for them. And it's going to, I think a lot of people just fall in love with Team Asobi that much more. But it is that wild thing of,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I would have expected, I guess, that cut off of, all right, boom, we're done. We're moving on to the next thing. But, like, I don't know. This is a thing I think we should shout out of. Wow, this is so cool. But also a thing that just bewilders me as far as, all right, but, like, when are you going to start? When are we going to get the next thing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Like, are you going to start working on the next thing? Or should we expect more Astro Bot content in the next year?

I want to bring in some super chats from the audience. El Capitan 22 writes in and says, yeah, I don't get the hate for this state of play. Plenty of games for me here, and I still have a backlog. Like, why should I care if the games are third party or first party? I'm buying them. Yeah, it's bizarre stuff. Yeah. It really is. I think it's based on expectations, right? And, like, I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
we're so in the trenches of watching every showcase and watching every state of play that I think we have built up sort of the rule set in our heads of what we expect to see from these things. We've been saying for years of, you're not going to see this thing at a state of play. You're going to see it at a PlayStation showcase and vice versa. Right. I think we have that built, but,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
When I go on Blue Sky or probably more so Twitter in the last day and seeing people tweet about being upset about it, I do see people being like, where's the first party? Where's the next God of War? And I'm like, yo, that was never going to be here. That's not what gameplay is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Yeah, we have answers. Not here. Not here. And honestly, like... a Housemarque game being here honestly is a surprise in a way where I'm almost like, damn, maybe you could have held that for a PlayStation showcase. I'm not mad at you for showing it here because I love seeing it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
And also, this gets to be the star of the show here versus if you put in the showcase, maybe God of War ends up being the star of the show and this gets overshadowed a little bit. But, like, I think, yeah, like, I don't know. I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I think people just have that built up expectations of wanting the world out of a state of play, wanting a PlayStation 2018 E3 press conference when that's not what these things are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Yeah, I mean, honestly, this being essentially a spiritual successor to Returnal, and them seemingly just putting more into it, I'm like... I'm probably right there with you, even though Returnal, it is a tall ask for me of how much I love Returnal when it came out. But also, take me back. But also, this seems like it's just going to be more of that, but also improved.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
So there's a good chance that I'm right there with you. I will like this more than Returnal, but we will see when that final game comes out. For now, let's move on to story number two. PlayStation says it's planning to release more family games like Astro Bot. This is Andy Robinson at Video Games Chronicle.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
PlayStation says it's planning to release more family games in the future following the success of Game of the Year platformer Astro Bot. Speaking during an earnings call on Thursday, Sony president Hiroki Totoki highlighted the Team Asobi platformer's recent award success and said that it validated its intention to expand its family offerings in the future. Quote,

At the Game Awards 2024, our first party title, Astro Bot, won four categories, including Game of the Year and Best Family Game, the most of any title, he said. In addition, the live service game, Helldivers 2, which was released in February last year, won Best Ongoing Game and Best Multiplayer Game awards.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
The fact that titles in genres we are planning to expand in the future, including titles for families and live service games, have received these awards is a major stride towards building a broad title portfolio and End quote. A lot of corporate speak there. Yeah. But I kind of I'm kind of digging a little bit what they're saying.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
There's a lot of good games. And there's a conversation to be had. It's funny because this was a conversation I wanted to have as we got into the show. Because the headline I have currently is, where were these games during the... Where were these announcements, I should say, during the PlayStation State of Play yesterday? Because we were going to talk about Astro Bot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I think the place where I'll push back is I think they've been doing this and it hasn't worked until Astro Bot. And I think Astro Bot working is going to open that up for it to work more. Because I think... I don't think as a first party you can... rests on the laurels of mature content. And we've talked about this before as far as why do they push Horizon so hard?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Well, Horizon is an IP that isn't as violent as a God of War or a Last of Us, and it's also a popular IP. At least you want to talk about the first game, Horizon Zero Dawn, that sold gangbusters, and Horizon Forbidden West did well as well, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Like, that is an IP that is popular enough, but then also family-friendly enough that we can find different things to do with it, whether it's a multiplayer thing or a LEGO thing, right? But... Go for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
And to jump off of that, I think that's because Horizon was the wrong IP to put into a Lego game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
That's the problem. At a certain point, there is a ship of theseus that happens of the fans who love Horizon. Why do they love Horizon? Is that going to translate into them liking a Horizon Lego game? For me, I love Horizon. I know Jada Garcia and Greg Miller love Horizon Zero Dawn. I think a lot of us actually love Horizon, the world and the game. But do we care about a Horizon Lego game?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
That's something that I think you are making to appeal to kids. But do kids like Horizon? I don't think so. I think the kids are liking Astro Bot. I think the more you're able to pursue IP that feels a bit more catered to family audiences, that then opens you up to do more with that IP. For example, I would never make a Horizon racing game. Like a Horizon kart racer, specifically, I should say.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Forza Horizon. God damn it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
And we're also going to talk about Twisted Metal. But I think I had a realization yesterday after the show of where I'm at with game showcases. And kind of a thing that I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Thank you. I would never make a Horizon kart racer. I would never make a Horizon 2D platformer. Maybe if you put it in Lego, you can get away with those things, but I don't think that makes sense. What I do think makes sense is maybe you can make a PlayStation racer with Astro Bot as the characters. You can make an Astro Bot racer. Or a Sackboy. Or a Sackboy thing. Or an Astro Bot 2D platformer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
And, like, you can adapt those things into kids' shows. Like, I think having more family-directed content and IP opens that door up to, like, so many different things as far as, like, yeah, movies, TV, like, all that shit just for different audiences. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
That's a really good question.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I like that question a lot. The unfortunate thing is my brain immediately goes to partnerships. And I say unfortunate because I think there's an identification of... We expect the best of the best from PlayStation Studios, right? First party PlayStation Studios. But to your point, the reality is that, guess what? Naughty Dog is working on Intergalactic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Gorilla is working on probably the next Horizon thing, right? Sucker Punch is working on Ghost of Yotei. Those studios are taken up with projects already that are on the more mature leading side. So if I'm PlayStation, I am looking at the studio that made Sackboy a big adventure. I'm looking at Sumo Digital and being like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Yo, all right, what can you do with either Sackboy or another one of our family-friendly IPs that maybe we already have? Maybe I'm looking at a third-party studio that we're not thinking of and going, make something new for us.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
But can you – and this is going to sound very corporate of me. Can you get Astro Bot there as far as – you know, we have obviously the critical success. You have the 1.5 million sales in whatever period of time that was. What more can you extract from it, right? If I'm putting on my CEO cap, like, can I get an Astro Bot cartoon going? Can I get Astro Bot toys in stores?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Can I get, I don't know, like, can I put Astro Bot in theaters and make, like, a fun little, like, Minions-style movie out of it, right? Like, what can I do for Astro Bot to, like, get it to that place of, well, now this IP is making the returns, even if just the game isn't. How do I turn this into Sonic the Hedgehog? Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
No.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Yeah. And I will say the tough thing for me with this analogy with Astro Bot specifically is that I also don't necessarily see Astro Bot as the IP of put this in theaters. Like, unless you do really go all the way and go, hey, we're making a Minions movie, but it's Astro Bot. I think that's really the, The way. Give the people what they want. Nobody wants that, right? I'm going to watch it.

I saw Gran Turismo. You did see Gran Turismo. But I do think you can find other IPs to do that with or create IPs that are based more on like character stuff, right? Like a Crash Bandicoot or a Ratchet and Clank. I guess you literally have Ratchet and Clank that you can do that with. Yeah. And they did. Yeah, they did. Yeah, they did. I think it's worth chasing though.

But like seeing games or seeing new trailers for new games that are going to excite me for me alone makes me excited and gives me that feeling of hype that we all love. I think on the other hand, the thing that gives me dread is I think the idea of critiquing showcases and like I know that's kind of part of what we do is kind of funny. Right.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
We're going to pull from Travis Northup at IGN who gave it a 7 out of 10 and says, Avowed is a perfectly competent RPG that showcases obsidian's writing and world-building chops, but has little else to distinguish itself among swords and sorcery adventures.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Sean Prescott at PC Gamer gave it an 82 out of 100 and says, bigger than it first appears, Avowed is an engrossing and gorgeous action RPG set in one of the most engaging fantasy worlds going, though it lacks complex systems of its most beloved contemporaries.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Alessandro Barbosa at GameSpot gave it a 6 out of 10 and says, Avowed's impactful and satisfying combat is undone by a widely unbalanced upgrade system and an uninteresting story that wastes its potential. And then lastly, Robert Perchese at Eurogamer gave it a four out of five and says, what a vowel lacks in gloss, it makes up for with charm, depth, and a playful heart.

Thank you, but I think it's also the thing of even removed from the audience, right? Like, I finished watching a showcase, and it's different from when I play a video game and I have all these thoughts and analysis and, like, I want to dive deep into the mechanics or the story or whatever. With showcases, each of them are so...

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Yeah, and I think that assessment of it is super accurate. I played about eight to nine hours of it out during the review period. Of course, we're doing our review after this episode of KFGD. Greg has played through it. Paris has played through it. I forget if Andy played all the way through it. I think he might have. Barry, did you run that one? What? The Avowed review. I did.

Oh, okay. There you go. So it's those three talking about it. And so if you want our full impressions, go to that video. But off of my eight hours, my... I put the controller down with the idea of, I think this game is what you expect from an Obsidian RPG. The writing is deep. The world building, I think, is great. The RPG systems are there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I think for a lot of people, it might just be whether or not you're invested in the world or not. And for me, it was a thing of, man, I love Obsidian. I'm going to wait for Outer Worlds 2, though. Outer Worlds 2 is way more my vibe as far as... I'm a space boy. I'm a sci-fi boy. I like a lot of the tone and goofiness of something like Outer Worlds.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Avowed feels very traditional fantasy world and fantasy RPG in a way that, again, I respect. They throw a lot of jargon at you at the beginning. They throw a lot of like... I don't even want to get into it. A lot of glossary terms, which, shout out to this game. There's a glossary.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
There's a glossary, but it also does kind of like the active time lore thing, not in such an expanded out way that Final Fantasy XVI does, but during dialogue, there's a button you can press to pause dialogue after a certain point and read up on a bunch of terms that they really do just throw at you in the beginning hours of the game, just because they're like, yo, this is a world that's established for us.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I believe it's already based in... Is it Path of Exile chat? Let me know which one it is. Pillars of Eternity. Pillars of Eternity, thank you. EOE. EOE.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
It's based in that world, so I think it's the idea of, hey, this is already established and we're building a narrative in it, and they throw you in, and they have a lot of fascinating stuff going on in that first, like, in my first 10 hours of playing. So I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
different in terms of what they want to do and what they want to bring to the table i think the only time i'm coming out of a showcase with a clear thought of oh this is trash is usually with the capcom thing where they don't even try like they don't even want to try and that's the thing is it's hard for you to even critique something where it's like you didn't even want to you didn't want to give me a state of play you didn't want to give me a place to showcase right and i'm watching a state of play and i'm like okay well you don't want to give me a place to showcase i'm watching an xbox showcase and i'm like okay you're giving me a very specific it's the

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
If you're somebody that is looking forward to Avowed, if you're somebody that watches the trailers and you're like, that's a world I want to invest in, I think you're going to have a good time. Combat's also very fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I don't think I'm going to go back to it. Yeah. I think I really in the, after the first eight or nine hours, I really do understand what it is. And it's just not for me. Yeah. Right. Like I think even though I say the combat's fun, it's also one of those ones where it's fun for, I think the kind of combat it is, which is like melee. Like you play, you played Skyrim. No, no. Okay. I did.

Oh, okay, yeah. So, like, you know what the combat's like, right? It is, like, a lot of melee. It is, you got the shield. I do like some of the magic stuff they have. And, like, you're building on kind of those abilities. They have guns in this game, too, which I like a lot.

But, yeah, there's something... I think there is something about those combat scenarios that doesn't necessarily hit as strongly for me. And I think I just don't prefer, like... First-person melee. Yeah, first-person melee isn't really my jam. And I think the way they do it, there's kind of, like, a balance of... I got my...

Let's move on to story number five. Overwatch 2 is adding a CSGO-style mode and bringing back loot boxes. This is Quentin Kenimer at The Verge. Overwatch 2 is getting quite the shakeup in 2025 as it faces growing competition from other online shooters.

It starts with the Season 15 update that's coming on February 18th that will tease a new hero and introduce an in-game perk system for existing ones, plus the return of the 6v6 competitive queues Blizzard tested late last year.

I don't know if I'd use the word desperation, but I think there is a hint of we got to do something.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
We got to do something. Like Overwatch 2 in its years of being out, I don't think has done enough to like... really, I think, pull in the audience in a major way. Overwatch, I think, has had the convenient thing of being able to rest on its laurels of, we're the only player in town of this kind of game.

Marvel Rivals coming out, I think, really has done a lot for, fuck, we should actually, we gotta do something, right? We gotta lock in and make sure we're retaining audience. And I'm not saying that this is a direct response to Marvel Rivals, because I'm sure this update has been in the works for a minute, but I do think that maybe Marvel Rivals being announced

Showcases are so different across the board as far as what everybody wants to bring to the table. And at the end of the day, it's all just straight marketing in a way where I'm like, I don't know, man. They're not making this for me to go, this was perfect. They're making it just to advertise games.

I'm with you. I don't... I need hands on it. Because reading it on paper, I'm with you that I don't understand how this works. Because Overwatch is just a completely different type of game than a Counter-Strike or a Valorant is. But, like, I don't know. If they find out a way to contextualize Overwatch's, like, that feel, those mechanics into a... I assume it is a thing. Actually, no.

I think they get into it here later in the article. Reintroducing loot boxes may be a polarizing move as games that implement them have received backlash over the years for their predatory nature. Blizzard removed them from Overwatch a few years ago in favor of an in-game shop when it restructured its monetization model after going free-to-play.

We're not sure whether you'll still be able to purchase cosmetics directly from a rotating in-game shop, but you can earn loot boxes as part of weekly and event rewards, and you can get up to three guaranteed legendary loot boxes in each seasonal battle pass. Stadium is arguably the biggest change announced in Overwatch 2 so far.

The new gameplay mode is a best-of-seven romp between two teams of five that's akin to Counter-Strike Go or Valorant. You'll earn currency each round with rotating maps and objectives alternating between control, clash, and push.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
The cash goes towards upgrades for your hero that are unique to the mode, whether you're unlocking an ability or upgrading it with enhanced potency or transformative effects that buff your offense and team utility. You can even choose between first-person or third-person POVs.

It's getting its own ranked queue, too, and launches with 14 heroes to start, with more planned to be added in future updates alongside a steady rollout of new maps.

You'll be able to play her for a bit during a trial weekend in Season 15. Blizzard is also teasing a new character for Season 18 named Aqua, appropriately named for his water-based abilities. As for the new perk system, it promises to enhance all of the game's heroes with two unique upgrades per match.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Your first upgrade is a minor one that lets you choose one of two slight boosts, perhaps a slightly stronger passive or a reduced cooldown for a core ability. The second upgrade offers a more substantial playstyle shift designed to help turn the tides of battle. Torbjorn can choose between a stronger level 3 turret or the ability to mount it on a wall, for example. So a lot there.

The Jess thing of saying that it finally feels like Overwatch 2, reading through all this, kind of feels apt. I'm shocked by how much they're adding with all these updates.

doing they're doing things they're they're moving things around i think that's necessary to do i think for a game that's been out as long as overwatch like that game launched in 2016 it is 2025 it's gonna be 10 years of overwatch soon which i feel like it's gonna make me grow like gray hair just thinking about it but like it's been around for a long time i think overwatch 2 is

didn't do enough to shake things up. That game, for me, when we got Overwatch 2, it felt like too much of the same. I know they brought the player count down to 5v5 instead of 6v6. I needed some more than that, right? They added the new modes, they added some new maps, but I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
For me as a player, and I think for a lot of players, people were looking for something more substantial, and over time, they canceled some of the content that they had promised for Overwatch 2, some of the single-player stuff that we were looking forward to. So I think you need things like this to shake it up. I'm with you as far as, is this new mode going to hit? That sounds like a big swing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
It reminds me of when Apex added Apex Arenas as a mode, and I liked Arenas a lot, but they added it, and maybe a year or two later, they took it out, which saddened me, but... I think you need swings like that. You gotta figure out if you can get something like this to stick. Because then if it does, you just opened up a whole new revenue model, possibly.

And if it's good, hey, you'll have us. I think it might come down to timing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
I think you got to give people a little bit more time with Marvel Rivals because it's still on fire right now. And as soon as that fire feels like it's starting to fade a little bit, boom, launch this. And maybe you might get some conversion back.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, the hit that it used to be, I think, is a tough one because I don't even know if that could ever happen no matter what. I think that it could have, but I think that in this new era, I don't know anymore. I think you would have to... I think it would have to actually make Overwatch 3 and tear it all down and rebuild from the ground up.

All new heroes, all new universe, all new levels, all new... You don't even have to do new modes. I think just brand new heroes, right? Refresh it in the way that when you go from Street Fighter 4 to Street Fighter 5, it's a brand new game. It might have been a bad example because Street Fighter 5 wasn't good. 2 to 3. 2 to 3, right? You got to strip it all down and recreate it.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
To start the year on a good note, we are delighted to announce that new Astro Bot content is coming starting today. You might have noticed that a yet unreleased level of Astro Bot was featured at the PlayStation XP tournament final in London on January 18th. Tim, did you notice that? I did not notice that.

Oh, you think Jeff Grubb missed the PlayStation XP tournament? I mean, well, that's the thing. Nobody was watching the PlayStation XP tournament.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Yeah, they specifically teased it, and it somehow went over everybody's heads. Nobody saw it. But whatever, we're here now. That very level, along with four additional ones, will be coming your way inside the brand new Vicious Void Galaxy starting today. As before, this new update is completely free of charge and a gift from us to you, the Astro Bot community.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25

On February 27th, you're getting Cock-a-doodle-doom. On March 6th, you're getting Hard to Bear. On March 13th, you're getting Armored Hardcore. Later this summer, we'll get...

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Armored hardcore sounds like somebody made porn out of armored core. Thrust or bust?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Jiminy crickets. Listen, March 6th, we're getting hard to bear. Let me tell you, Tim, I've been there. I've been there. Yes. Note, all Astro Bot updates from February 13th to March 13th will be available every Thursday at 6 a.m. Pacific time.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Each level comes with a brand new special bot to rescue, and once that's done, can be replayed in time attack mode with online rankings. But hold on, we still have more news. Alongside these five new levels, we're pleased to say that owners of the PS5 Pro will be able to enjoy an improved version of Astro Bot featuring a constant best resolution while still running at 60 frames per second.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
Yeah, I want to get in there. See all the details? Ugh. The wetness? Ugh. Tim, how do you feel about this announcement? It's funny because before the State of Play, we kept predicting of like, what could we see there? And obviously we had to talk about Astro Bot content. Is it the end of Astro Bot content? Are we going to see more?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
And I think after that State of Play, we're like, okay, it's probably the end. Crazy to be here now. And we're getting five new levels. Yeah, man.

What if he's presenting a new Spotify podcast? What if he's back? I like that Kojima podcast. I also liked it too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Brain structure. Thank you. That's a good one. Yeah. Do you think it's what do you think? I guess if Kojima was here to present something he's working on, we know he's working on it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Troy Baker is listed. Well, what's tweeted out is presenting an award. Shannon Woodward was tweeted out as she's presenting and like they left out the war part out of it. That could be me reading into it way too much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Yeah. And it's like, it's, you don't feel it until it's happening. We're like, everybody's celebrating. Everybody's having a good time. Everybody's going to bars, drinking with each other. Michael Himes down there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
And Kojima could also be presenting an award. Again, this is Kojima just tweeting out the asset, and there's not even text attached to it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
It said presenter on there. Well, yeah, presenter, but the tweets I'm referencing from Jeff are him saying that Troy Baker from Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is going to be at the Game Awards as a presenter presenting an award, whereas he says pretty much the same thing with Shannon Woodward, but leaves out the award part.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I think a Death Stranding 2 thing is almost for sure. Just for the fact that we know it's next year, right? It's window 2025. I think we're due for more information of it. Even though we've seen quite a bit of it now just through the cinematic trailers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I don't know what to expect as far as what more there is to show through that. But I think a window of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
summer or spring or whenever if it's sooner than later i'll say you put a spring window on it i think the one wrinkle with this you got a window tonight possibly i the thing that's working against this theory though in my brain is the fact that gta6 is slated for 2025 and i don't i think people are avoiding trying to put like specific windows to things there was that whole thing you know a headline right that a lot of the big guys are right now sitting there bloomberg i think was the were the people to report that that's what they do over there yeah sitting there waiting on it
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I think I agree with you 100%. Troy, best performance. Shannon, here's a clip of Dina from The Last of Us Part II. Kojima, I lean more Death Stranding 2 than OD. I think OD might be quiet for a little bit. That seems further away.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Somebody in the serpent. It's something in the serpent. Lily in the serpent. I think I'm with you, though, with, like, the artsy-fartsy stuff. You know what I mean? Like, of course. Oh, you got a flute. Get the fuck out of here. Yes. I'm like, get the flute guy out of here. The Game Awards Orchestra play before the Game of the Year because I want to hear the soundtracks. But, like, you put J.I.D.

The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Well, this is where I want to take the conversation. I think that's the more interesting part of this. Of course, like, it was confirmed that Mafia was the old country.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
We saw, what, a top level, not in-game cinematic. And they had a tweet earlier this week saying we will be at the Game Awards. And so, like, the only part about this that is, like, leaked is that they put the trailer up too early in that 2025. Did you see some gameplay? And some gameplay, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I'm excited to be here with you. I was thinking about this also. I think this... This can't be accurate. Is this my first time actually reacting to the Game Awards? No, because this is my thought, too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
In the summer 2025 window, which I think is fascinating because, to Roger's credit, a couple days ago when he was on Games Daily with me, he mentioned that, like, hey, depending on where 2K puts Borderlands, or Take-Two puts Borderlands 4 and puts Mafia The Old Country, that might point to where maybe they're trying to window GTA 6. Sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
So, if this is summer 2025... That means GTA 6 launching tonight. Today. It's going out today. Yeah. I mean, I come back to, and I know Barrett said this, and I think Jason Schreier also said this, right? It ain't coming this year. It ain't coming out in 2025. It's not. But maybe they think it is. And if they do, I don't know. I think it's interesting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Because then, for me, I get into the conversation of, what does Borderlands 4 come out?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Is it crazy to think that could come out in spring? Or is that like a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
unrealistic hype announcement. I would say Bloodborne 2. I would have said Half-Life 3, but we had a whole discussion yesterday that had me like, yo, maybe it might happen. Who knows? But I feel like Bloodborne news, for me, feels so non-tangible right now. It feels like it's a thing that's just not happening. And I would love to be surprised. I would love for that to RKO, come out of nowhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I don't read our Slack. Oh, you already bought tickets? I'll catch up. But, yeah, no, I would love for that to come out of nowhere and surprise us. And, like, whether it is a Bloodborne remaster or remake, whether it is, like, somehow a sequel to Bloodborne that's being developed by FromSoftware, that's the thing is I don't think I would want it developed by somebody else.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
That wasn't a traditional one, was it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Like, I don't want it from FromSoftware.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Which, again, makes it feel so... unable to happen. So many moving parts had to come together. One of those things being Katakawa maybe being acquired by Sony.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
That for sure is my unrealistic I would pop for this if this happened. What about you? It's the same as always.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I feel like there's no way that would catch. I feel like you would know. Somebody would tell me. Somebody would tell you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I should tell you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
insane right if it happened like holy shit and what would make me like break andy's laptop would probably be like anything switch to related really yeah i because i just don't expect it and like i'm that's probably the thing right now that i am the most excited for in like the gaming future i would say is like is the switch to I want to know the details of it. I want to know the games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I want to know what that launch lineup looks like. I want to know how games are going to look on it. All of these things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Even if they had a teaser or a, hey, we'll be back in January to talk more about the Switch 2, that would make me pop. I might break Andy's laptop on accident. Do you think this is going to be the best Game Awards of all time in terms of announcements? In terms of announcements?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I think 2021 I went. Yeah. One, two, this is 20. So yeah, I went three. I know I went three years because I got three different outfits in mind that I've worn. And so yeah, I think every year after 2020 I went. So I guess this is the first like it actually feels like Game Awards, Game Awards that I'm actually reacting to. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. With the crew. And that's exciting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
It's a weird one because what am I going... I'm going off of just a few people in press that are like, oh man, this is one to get hyped about. And so it's hard for me to say...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
yes but i think when i take that and i couple it with just the timing of where we're at in video games it feels like a lot of people have a lot of things to say it feels like playstation especially right right we're in a place right now where it is what are you working on you have so many teams that are working on things xbox you have so many teams nintendo what the fuck is happening even though i don't think we're gonna get much of that but like yeah i think there are so many question marks right now that i do think this one has the potential what about you
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I think... What's up? I'm pointing at my award. Oh, yeah. I... I think there was a turning point with me with showcases. Cause I'm with you that I can't like, if you asked me, what was the best game awards? I'd be like, I don't know. I don't remember. I mean, last time it's got revealed the game awards. Yeah. Right. The last, the first, last was yes. Yeah. Okay. Yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
So it all runs together for me, and even showcases, right? If you ask me what were the best top five gaming showcases, I'll probably say the PlayStation showcases from 2015 to 2018, and the Bethesda showcase where we got Fallout 4. And I think after 2018, 2019, I think... my hype meter just kind of like broke a fuse.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
And now I'm in a place where I'm just like, yo, I'm just down to watch some trailers. Oh yeah, exactly. I'm down to watch trailers and hang out. That's what I'm excited for. I'm not looking for these things to change my life anymore. Sure. But I also, this might be me getting older.

The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Yeah, I think... Or Delta, you know what I mean. If I'm looking at Konami and thinking about how do you rebuild as Konami, I think you do focus on Metal Gear and focus on Silent Hill. I think those are the two major things you got going on right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I think once you start to get those out the door in a way that is flowing and in a way that feels pretty good, then you start looking at the other IP and figuring out how to bring them back or maintain them. But, like, if Konami's bringing back Castlevania, I want them to give it to somebody else. There are so many capable developers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
So many, like, talented and creative developers that I think could do so much justice to Castlevania. Whether it be, like, any number of indie developers that are working on, like, Metroidvanias or, like, Dead Cells, the developer. I think Motion Twin. Twin. Yeah. I know there's, like, multiple of them. One of them is Motion Twin. Or, like, the Ori developers. There's so many indie stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
And then, like... Evil Empire. Evil Empire. Thank you. There's also Sony Santa Monica and other AAA studios that I would love for them to license that out to that I think can make a great AAA third-person action Castlevania type game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Is that exciting?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
No, not necessarily. Because I feel like we saw enough of Light No Fire last year. I don't want Sean Murray to come out again and be like, this is Light No Fire. I'm going to go over here and... I'm going to start a fire. I'm going to collect these resources and I'm going to build a house. And I'm like, don't save that for like some blog posts. I don't want to. I don't think I would.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
So would you just be hyped for a trailer? Yeah. Okay. Give me like a minute, a two minute trailer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
man I would love it so much this goes back to what I was talking about with Tim where like Tim and Bear were like there's a there's a higher chance that we see a Half-Life 3 trailer than we see a GTA 6 trailer we were having that back and forth yesterday on the show and I was team like ain't no way but like they convinced me like they fought for it so hard where I was like fuck we might see Half-Life 3 anything can happen if you told me that they bundled a Half-Life 3 a Portal 3 and like a new IP together oh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Game of the Year automatically. I'm sorry, GTA 6.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
My thing is I want somebody who's like a third-party IP to be announced at Game Awards because I feel like I don't... What was that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Oh, that's a tough one. I don't know. Maybe another Street Fighter character, honestly. I know that's a boring answer. I mean, I'm not going to play no matter what. But Tifa is such the, this is all I care about. What about a Ninja Turtle? No, absolutely not. Don't put it. Give the Turtles their own fucking game. You know what? Let Rockstar make a Turtles game. Let's get weird.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Put Indiana Jones in it. Oh, okay. Yeah. I think he's like for me, he is the Negan pick because Negan from Walking Dead got put into Tekken 7. Indiana Jones is just quirky enough and weird enough, but also like I think has enough cachet. If you want to talk about the fact that they still make these movies. Sure. They still they put it out in Indiana Jones video game. That is like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I think you could do some kind of co-marketing with and like playing this Indiana Jones game. Turns out he punches a lot. Yeah. And he uses shovels and guitars to hit people over the head.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I'll probably quit my job because it turns out everything I know is just a lie as far as how the games industry works.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I feel like everybody would kind of be like, what the fuck? Because this is where I think disappointment might set in slowly. I think it might take a day for us to be like, wait, what? Wait, why is this happening? Because why do you like Naughty Dog? Because they make Naughty Dog games. Why do you like Half-Life? Why do you like Half-Life, right? I don't. Cool. Maybe you're a monster.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
That and Blade. Blade was the other one because I'm a big Arcane fan. And so that's one where I was like, man, I would have popped off for this announcement too. But I feel like based on the hype and based off of things we'll even talk about on this episode and things that me and Tim talked about on the last episode, I feel like for a Game Awards to react to, this seems to be the one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
But people like Half-Life because it's a first-person shooter with, I guess, narrative, which Naughty Dog has. But it's a different kind of game. I think you mush those two things together and you satisfy neither audience. You just create this weird amalgamation monster. Nobody wants that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Unless Naughty Dog is going to make a first-person shooter, but then I think that still disappoints the Naughty Dog fans.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
um it's gonna be crowded la life it's gonna be hard to get yeah that's the thing is like if you're if if you've been hearing the word about like the jw marriott because like that's where people oftentimes after the game awards go to like meet up and hang out and stuff um i think in the last couple a couple of years it's gotten too packed it's i don't know if it's gonna be as fun
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24

When I went, because last year I did go to an off-campus thing, and then came back to the JW Marriott, because come on, the party doesn't stop. You've got to take back the night. And when I ended up back there, it was almost equivalent of fans of the industry, gamers or whatever, and then also industry people. And so I think year by year, the jig is becoming up even more.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
That'd be cool. I don't want to say likely because I feel like a title like that that's already out in early access, I don't think you put a release date on it unless you're very sure. I think if they're going to put a release date on Hades 2, it'll be in a few months. They will say that it's coming out in a few months. If Hades 2 isn't ready until fall or something, I think you stay away from it.

That thing is, me and Tim talked to death when it happened, or when this news started a few weeks ago, and it was that whole thing of, I think, yeah, consolidation in the industry, bad, scary. If this happens, it will lead to layoffs, it will lead to restructuring, it will lead to all these things. It will also lead to Bloodborne 2. Like, there's...

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
That's one of the conversations that me and Tim had. I think Tim came from it from the angle of after the whole Bungie situation, I think Sony and PlayStation would probably be like, no. Get the fuck under the umbrella.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I agree. I think Herman and the presidents and CEOs over there at PlayStation are knocking on PlayStation, or sorry, Sony, just like Sony CEO's door being like, every day, hey, from software, hey, get us from software. You can't do this.

That's a messy situation. There's a big ol' problem over there. And this is one of those ones where it's so messy that I don't really want to speculate. I hope whoever's wrong is in trouble for being wrong. Whoever's wrong, I'll get fucked. If you're both wrong, you both get fucked. If this Barrett guy who, man, unfortunate name, I'm sorry, our Barrett.

The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Somebody popped in the chat, I just got here, this is our Barrett? No, this is not our Barrett. But to this Barrett, if he was doing these things where he's like calling lower level female employees attractive and asked them to play truth or dare, Jesus Christ.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
But if he didn't do that shit and PlayStation did do the thing, or Bungie, I should say, did do the thing of, like... Yeah, fucked him over for medical leave. Yeah, medical leave. Like, oh, man, he's gone. Oh, man, turns out we could do this without him. Fire him. Like, that's also fucked. Yeah. Granted, like, again, a whole mess.

The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
What? Yeah. This is a game that I saw on Blue Sky yesterday. It was announced during Day of the Devs. It's called Slate of Hand. It's one that maybe you would have some interest in as well because they do reference. Well, they reference Metal Gear Solid in the gameplay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
But the post I'm pulling from Blue Skies from the developer Joshua Boggs, he tweeted out after it was announced during Day of the Devs, after a year that felt like shuffling a bad hand, we finally revealed gameplay for Slate of Hand at Day of the Devs. It's Metal Gear Solid meets Dishonored, but with a twist. Your deck of cards is your set of powers. The Steam description reads like this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Infiltrate a hard-boiled, rain-slicked city of taboo where ritual magic and cursed artifacts set apart those with powers from those without. Sleight of Hand is a third-person stealth action card sim about taking down the coven you used to run with. Yeah. A lot of words that appeal to me there. Dishonor, Metal Gear Solid, cards.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
As I was watching some of the gameplay, I like how they approach it because you are doing the sneaking around stuff. You can see, of course, the enemies that you see on screen. They probably have their field of vision or whatever. You see the cameras that you don't want to get caught in. But then at the bottom, you have your cards that are your different abilities.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
So some may allow you to teleport. Others may allow you to do other things. And I love it. I love games that are, hey, you have these set of things. Figure out how you're going to navigate this situation you're in. You kind of have to freestyle a bit. But I saw this, saw the art style, saw the description, and was like, yo, this is fucking awesome. That's rad. Yeah, this is really cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
either seafood 2 or some kind of thing where you see the game gameplay pop up and they have a specific style they have a specific art style that when you see a slow clap game you know that's a slow clap game if me and tim saw that and like had the trailer be a be a thing of wait is this no it can't be that you get to somebody whooping somebody's ass and be like let's fucking go right like i think that's what you would want to build to but here's my question already uh-huh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Well, that's the other place where I take it to. I think the possibilities here are something regarding the live action movie. I don't know where we're at with filming that. I don't know if we're in post-production or a place where you would get a trailer that feels too early.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
I think yes, saying it out loud, yes. But I think there's only so much excitement that there is for another slow clap thing, right? Like me and Tim and a large portion of, I think our audience is very excited for what's coming next from them. But I don't think them coming out and saying something about the movie is going to make everybody go, oh, fuck these guys, right? Like it's still exciting.

That'd be fucking... I mean, not fighting, but like... Well, that's the reason why I include the Sifu game quote tweet here. Okay. Because I feel like them using that account, the Sifu game account, to quote tweet in with the eyes makes it seem like a Sifu thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
Either Sifu 2 or a movie. I just feel like, correct me if I'm wrong, Slow Clap's only game is Sifu, right? They had a game before that was called Absolver that was kind of like Sifu. That was a multiplayer thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Game Awards Confirms Kojima, Sifu Studio & More - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.12.24
the internet where people understand that developers make different games or whatever the brand means something i think maybe that was it piping it up yeah either way no matter what it is i'm excited all right slow clap on twitter has 18.3k followers i'm gonna guess sifu has 51.2k yeah so i guess that makes sense right even if it's a new ip or a different thing you want to use the sifu account to amplify it no matter what i'm excited

Because the whole thing is about aging and de-aging. You bring up a very great point. You can cast multiple people in the same role. I think you can have Jackie Chan play the oldest version of this character and maybe have it be a thing of, hey, we have the young version, we have the middle-aged version, and we have the old man version and cast three different actors. That'd be cool.

The language of Shannon Woodward presenting versus Troy Baker is presenting an award. He says award for Troy. He doesn't say award for Shannon, just says that she's presenting. Same with Kojima here, right? He doesn't say that he's presenting an award.

Someone said not great game design, but it doesn't matter. Yeah, I'm with you. And I think, again, they've been so vocal, at least at E3, of like, oh, you can play most of the game as one person.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have a lot of stuff and a lot of different super chats coming in about this one, right? Tom Cunningham says, not shocked by the delay of Assassin's Creed Shadows.

What are they actually doing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Blah, blah, blah, blah. If they're still trying to find the fun in this, if that's the core issue... Because it doesn't sound like how... When they delayed a VOD, they're like, yeah, we're just trying to get out of a crowded thing. Game's great. And now you're here, and it's like the messaging here is, again, AI gobbledygook.

We're just talking whatever got pushed out from the corporate robot. But it's not inspiring confidence that we have a great game, but we're trying to get to a better place. We're squashing bugs. We're doing whatever. It's more the fact of like... This game has been all quiet on the Western front.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
And this is the whole rub with Ubisoft, right? Where it's like, Ubisoft as a company, I feel like, has stripped out so much of its humanity. Yeah.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
hey and don't forget here we are and you know this is that and then maybe toss a teaser for outer but i mean i think it's weird that like your last big thing you're not saying something there to remind people i digress i mean do you think it's just because they feel like we've seen a lot of it and they don't want to fatigue people probably yeah i mean you figure there's going to be a huge marketing campaign it's pretty much this will wrap up and then you'll do a whole run-up throughout february leading up to avowed's launch agreed on that yeah

God, I miss him so much. I know, I know. Let's move on to story number four. Shadow of the Colossus movie, quote, not abandoned by any means, says Tom Ivan at VGC. The director attached to the Shadow of the Colossus movie adaptation for over a decade has said the project could still see the light of day. It will not see the light of day, everybody.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Sony first announced plans to bring Team Ico's celebrated PS2 game to the big screen way back in 2009. But. Little has been heard about the project in the years since Andreas Muschietti, and I'm butchering that, but the director of The Flash. They have other stuff in here. Mama, it, nobody cares. The director of The Flash, Andy, he goes by Andy, was confirmed to be helming in 2014.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
However, Andy, not our Andy, but that Andy, recently provided a positive update on the film in an interview with an Argentinian radio station. Quote, the film has been in development for 10 years, and now the possibility of making it opens up, he told Radio TU, according to
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
recontados translated by the gamer yeah andy the director of flash claimed it wasn't an abandoned project by any means adding i love that film there is a script that i like a lot in quote however he acknowledged that securing the desired budget for the project remained an obstacle well there are factors that have been have nothing to do with your hobby and desire to make it but with how popular an intellectual property like this is he said
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Shadow of the Colossus is a cult game, but to make a good film, there is a studio that puts the numbers and says how much it is worth to give the director $200, $150, or $100 million. There are different versions of the film, and obviously, I want them to give me $200 million. But this is another factor to take into account." Hey, Flash, number one DCEU film as ranked by InReview.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
So we're not talking trash about that or his desire to make it. I just don't think this ever happens.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
I think it's even less probable because you figure PlayStation is so all in on making movies and TV now. And so that's a whole production arm that has started what in the last five years. And like, this isn't one of their projects, right? This reminds me of James Gunn taking over the DC film properties. Right. And then kind of be like, all right, well, Matt Reeves can stay, but this has got to go.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
And this will like, you're going to come in and you're going to make it in your vision. And I'm sure if PlayStation wants to make this movie, they want to make it their way and not necessarily on whatever this vision was from 10 years ago.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25

Yeah, no. I don't think so either.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Maybe the next... Three to four PlayStation Studios projects just crush. Just knock it out of the park. Yeah, I hope so. And then it is like we got to get every property going and they'd still do this. But my gut would be, I don't think, I think they're probably trying to wait this deal out if they wanted to and then make their own version of Shadow of the Colossus.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
It's like any other video game announcement to a degree. It was like when they announced Gran Turismo and you're like, what the fuck are you doing? And then I saw Gran Turismo and I was like, you know what? This wasn't a bad movie. You took it in an interesting direction.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I was like, no, they're going to sell the consoles. Buy it. And then, of course, the Reddit people did weird things and made it really big. Ubisoft, I was like, hey, we got a nice shot here.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
It was like, what, $3.33 when I bought it? I think something like that. And it has continually fallen since then. But now, Kevin, throw it back up. What did you have there? You had $2.30 some cents? Like, again, $2.52. I only have the evidence of when I had my financial windfall from Virgin America. Where I love Virgin America, and I bought Virgin America stock.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
I was a broke little IGN boy, but I bought as much as I could. And they never did that well. But when they sold it to Alaska Airlines, I made a lot of money. It doubled in price. So theoretically, when they sell Ubisoft, they should double. That's just smart financial advice. That isn't financial advice. Don't hold me legally liable. He said it. It's not real, as you see. But is it? Is it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
It could be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
I'm just throwing it out there. Who knows what's going to happen? But the thing I coined on this show, Greg sound financial advice, and I've stuck with, and most people have told me it's the best way. They're happy that I said it. You buy low and you sell high. That's the cornerstone of what I made up here.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Yeah. Okay, so let's start here, Stella. Do you think this is the last delay for Assassin's Creed Shadows? Are we actually going to play it on March 20th?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
it's such a weird one of like, so we're talking about, I guess what you're pulling. I, I just don't buy it of like, Oh, this is what we're getting from. They call it the community, but they really mean play testers because obviously the community doesn't have any way to go. And then to tack on. Yeah. Like it's them trying to nip it in the bud that it's because of the negative Nancy's out there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
I've been doing right to be to engage closely with the increasingly positive Assassin's Creed community. Like, are they getting more and more positive? And if so, why would they, when you keep delaying the game and nobody knows what's going on and blah, blah, blah. Like, I think in general, the game just isn't where they want it to be and isn't coming together.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
And I think, yeah, the last stop like is this fiscal year. They want to get this out by the end of the fiscal year to have that number to what because it's going to sell some money. It's going to make some money, which is better than no money, which will look good on the books to then be wherever you are with what you're trying to do here and get out and sell this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
At E3, when I watched it, I was like, oh, this looks really cool. I like what I'm seeing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It did look like more Assassin's Creed. Like, it didn't look revolutionary on that front, but... Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Yeah, I wonder how much of that E3 demo vertical slice is always so tough, right? This is the best case for what we want. Is it that when you're looking at the rest of that game and obviously the two protagonists attack the situation how you want to, are you running into issues where it isn't fun to play as one of them through a lot of missions?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Been Delayed AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.09.25
Is it where certain missions just don't work the way you want them to with the other protagonists versus the other? A lot of questions in there.

No, you don't. You don't like it? You don't like it? We started the show with Powerpuff Girls, then we just talked about me being a hater on a game not existing. I don't know that I can keep being honest. You know what I mean? It's too negative. I don't want to be that mean. Say what you feel. Fuck this controller. This sucks. This fucking sucks, dude.

And also, this doesn't scream Last of Us to me. Like, sure, you can put a bunch of logos from the game on a controller, but, like, this doesn't fit the vibe of Last of Us at all. What? They have the Firefly. They do. They have a wolf.

Tim, streets are talking once again. Once again, the same old conversation. And I feel the more the conversation happens, the more likely it is that this is going to be true. What's your over-under? At this point, I'm convinced it's going to be $100. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. What about you? I mean, it's going to be more than $70. $100...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
That was such a struggle to get us there, and they got there because they're going to get us there. I mean, it's a sheer numbers game, and I feel like at the end of the day, no matter what way you shake it, charging $100 is going to make them more money. The people that won't buy it because of that price will be made up, I think, many times over by the additional $30 a person that will.

Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
I don't think only. I do think others will. I don't think that everyone will have that same level of success. And I think that at a certain point, it will be detrimental to the profits of the companies. And at that point, they can't do it.

dollars to make it on per copy again i don't necessarily think that uh nba 2k would it would be a good decision but i can see them making the decision and then backing off yeah but i think it could happen though uh but yeah 100 is definitely a lot of money but i also think that video games uh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
have a lot of value and they can present themselves as that not being crazy and i think that it's going to be pretty simple for that to get standardized that people are willing to pay a hundred dollars for games i'm not saying i like it i'm not saying that like it's something that i think should happen or definitely not something i want to happen um but yeah i feel like it's very likely that gta6 will be a hundred dollars but if it's not then hey cool but probably will be

I remember I rented a PS2 when it first came out, because I couldn't afford one, and Blockbuster allowed you to... You can rent the console and a game for, like, $5 or something. It was, like, super cheap. And that's how I beat on Emusha 1 for the first time over a weekend. It was great. But, yeah, like, this is definitely not something I'm interested in, and I think it's a little weird, but...

Yeah. It still feels toyish to me. Really? Yeah. I mean, dude, and having the HD rumble and stuff, like, I feel like the Pro Controller doesn't get enough love. Really? The Switch Pro Controller. The Wii U Pro Controller. That was a glossy disaster.

Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
It plays as cool as it looks. You know what I mean? I feel like it lives up to its aesthetic. How much does it play like Skate? It's way more similar to Skate than Tony Hawk. It's way more simmy than it is arcade-y. I love how dark it is. The story's pretty fucked up. There's a lot of demons and shit. When you bail, it yells at you. With red text. Fuck with that.

And then apparently in the last week, there was a big breakthrough with Xbox 360 games in addition to the Sonic Unleashed thing. So it sounds like...

Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
take any Xbox 360 game and make a PC port of it. Oh, that's sick. If they put in the work. So I think we're getting a lot more projects like this that are very, very cool.

And people have played it and liked it.

Do you think that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
No. I think that everything they've done so far has been a choice. They haven't shown much, right? There was the announcement. There was the announcement, which was like a little cinematic thing. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Captain America & Black Panther Game Coming This Christmas?? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.06.25
Which was during GDC for an Unreal-focused thing, right? So it makes sense of what they're showing so far. So yeah, at any moment, they can just drop an actual gameplay trailer, and this game will all of a sudden exist to me. Feel a lot realer. Yeah. But where we're at now, I'm just like, again, it just looks too good to be true. That's fair enough.

You had submitted this to the one, the only, kind of funny Games Daily Slack channel we have where you put it in there. I was like, oh, this is interesting. And it's just a tweet from Nintendo, Metroid Prime 4, Beyond Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. and then shaking hands with Joy-Con Mouse Control. Then it's pulling from the day one of the Treehouse Live.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And the part we have here is someone using the mouse control and then on the right, Joy-Con, of course, using the left one to play Metroid Prime 4. You put it in here. It's interesting. Of course, you can go listen to Blessing and Tim talk about the mouse controls, talk about Metroid and all their games cast and first hands on there. And one of the things I thought in the hardware section
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Preview, they did. Their hands-on preview there. Was the conversation, if you're a video listener, you can see the hands have popped up there, of how it's cool to use the Joy-Con as a mouse, but then also how it broke their brain of you're doing that, but you're still using the buttons on the side of the Joy-Con to jump and do things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Similar to if you're using one of those MMO mouses like me and Kevin had for a sweater. But it was like breaking Bless's brain to do that. Talk to me about what you're seeing here as a PC headshot and player. What do you expect? Are you going to play Metroid Prime this way?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
That's what they were talking about in their preview as well. You have to imagine you'll be getting a fat mouse that could be a Joy-Con as well on there or whatever. I do think it's interesting as you see this. One of the things that's called out by the preview from Bless and Tim is that it's seamless. We talked a long time ago.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Maybe the C button is going to be a cursor button, switch you into mouse mode, etc. If you watch the hands here while playing, all you have to do is lift it and turn it and you leave mouse mode and go back to double Joy-Con mode. So it is that idea that if you're in something and all of a sudden you want to go back to it, bam, put it down.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
You're in mouse mode, pull it up, you're back in the Joy-Con mode. I thought that was really interesting. I wasn't expecting that. I don't expect to use this, but I think it's cool for it being there that way.

Let me hear. 30 frames per second is suitable for single-player story-driven action RPGs. It's fine unless there's multiplayer, sports, or fast action. Again, a solid 30 is fine. Perfect.

No, I just drank and then I didn't want to be dead. Game didn't pass. Switch 2 design director Sumikazu Ono said Nintendo thought, quote, unquote, a lot about how to ensure game chat is safe and secure. Players will not be able to use game chat with everyone on their friend list by default.

Quote, we assume some players will have somebody on their friends list who they've only played online with once, and yet somehow they ended up accepting their friend request. Given that possibility, players might feel uncomfortable if suddenly everyone on their friends list can invite them to a video chat, Ono said.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

With that in mind, during the initial setup, you can choose the friends you want to be able to chat with from your friends list before you start using game chat, end quote. Andy, I'll tell you straight up, you're going to be the only person I had. I want to be able to interrupt your streams. Come in in cool costumes, you know? Nah, I'm okay. It'll be fun. You'll love it.

If you join a room created by a friend, players will only see people you or your friend have approved from game chat. Before joining a room, players will see if a friend of a friend is in the room. If they don't want to join for any reason, they don't have to. With regard to protecting the safety of children, Ono said Nintendo had, quote, a lot of internal discussion on this topic.

It was decided that children under 16 can only use game chat with people on their friend list if their parent or guardian has given permission via the Nintendo Switch parental controls app. Quote, in the case of voice chat, once a parent gives their child approval to chat with a particular person, their child will always be able to connect with the approved person from then on, Ono said.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Nintendo takes an even more cautious approach to video chats. When a child tries to start or join a video chat on their Switch 2, a request is sent to the parent's app. The request must then be approved before the video chat can begin. While children may feel a bit restricted, we decided to prioritize safety and require parents to approve the request every time Ono said.

Then they have a subhead here I like. Is the Switch 2 camera spying on you? The Nintendo Switch 2 camera has a privacy shutter that closes when not in use. As such, players should be able to see at a glance if the camera is on or off. Quote, we want everyone to feel comfortable using this feature, so we've placed a high priority on safety to avoid any unpleasant experiences.

Let me bring in Darren from GameSpot who has an article. Why do these games cost so much? One of the big surprises following this week's Switch 2 deep dive was the price tag for Mario Kart World as the game has a suggested retail price of $80 ahead of its June 5th release.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
This is a major increase, especially at a time when consumers are still debating the value of high-profile games increasing from $60 to $70. And according to analysts, this could become the new standard for the industry. In a breakdown of the Switch 2 and its pricing, analysts at Niko Partners discussed the impact of Mario Kart World on its price. Quote, Niko Partners explained.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
One reason for the higher price is the increased cost of the new and the faster game cards themselves, with higher capacities being more expensive to manufacture than a Blu-ray disc. PlayStation 5 Blu-ray disc. My apologies. Left one out there.

ESA Senior Vice President Aubrey Quinn tells GameFile that gaming hardware, including consoles, are likely to take a big hit due to new levies. These machines are made in some of the countries hit with the big tariffs yesterday. Beyond that, their parts are sourced from multiple countries, and the devices often cross into the U.S. multiple times as they are made and prepped for retail.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Quote, any one product that a consumer would buy is likely to be subject to many of the tariffs announced, all compounded on top of one another. The new Trump tariffs were announced yesterday include a 76% levy on Vietnam and 34% or 54% on goods from China. That's not because Steven doesn't know. That's because our administration doesn't know. Among other countries where gaming hardware is made.

I think every company, every industry, the video game industry included, needs to think about what's best for consumers, best for business, and best for employees. Supply chains are complicated and certainly supply chains don't change overnight. Everything that is considered or decided can't be a quick turnaround and can't be a knee-jerk reaction to any particular announcement."

Ninja Fingers says the Switch 2 is 399 pounds base model or 430 Mario Kart bundle pounds in the UK. With those specs, that's a bargain.

Tim could have stayed. Tim didn't have to go to New York. You know what I mean? A lot of people, I saw at least one person on Reddit saying he shouldn't have gone to New York.

Nintendo has confirmed that Nintendo Switch 2 uses DLSS and ray tracing technology but has yet to go into any detail about how exactly or show them off. NVIDIA DLSS, Deep Learning Super Sampling, is an AI-powered technology that uses machine learning to upscale lower-resolution images in real time, enhancing both performance and image quality in games.

This week's hour-long Nintendo Direct revealed how much the Nintendo Switch 2 would be at $449.99, but Nintendo has kept its technical information to a minimum.

When you got titles, when your title includes the department you work in, but then I mentioned the department too, I, you know, it's whatever. Quote, we use DLSS, upscaling technology, and that's something that we need to use as we develop games. And when it comes to the hardware, it is able to output to a TV at a max of 4K.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 News You Missed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.03.25
Whether the software developer is going to use that as a native resolution or get it to upscale is something that the software developer can choose. I think it opens up a lot of options for our software developers to choose from. End quote. Okay. It was a similarly vague response when Dota confirmed the Switch 2's GPU is capable of ray tracing. Quote, yes, the GPU does support ray tracing.

We haven't heard much about Ghost of Yotei in recent months, but after fans spotted a morsel of new story information published to the game's website, they're having fun speculating about how Sucker Punch's hotly anticipated PlayStation 5 exclusive will actually play. The official website includes the following story snippet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, a new warrior, Atsu, arises from the ashes of her homestead. Filled with fury and determination, Atsu will hunt down those responsible for the death of her family and exact her revenge. Every odd job and bounty will provide the coin she needs for her journey. But how she fights, survives, and evolves the legend of the ghost will be up to you."

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
We already knew Ghost of Yotei's setting and the time period, and that Atsu will be on a revenge mission of some kind. But what we didn't know was that she's hunting down those responsible for the death of her family after her homestead is destroyed. Fans speculating that Ghost of Yotei will have bounty hunting mechanic in which Atsu takes on jobs to earn money needed for other things in the game.

Yeah.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
There's the potential here, then, for an actual in-game economy, where Tsushima didn't really have any sort of money mechanic. If true, this taps into Sucker Punch's stated goal of giving players more control over Atsu's story. Creative director Jason Connell has said that one of the changes compared to Ghost of Tsushima will be a less repetitive open world.

The website lists 2025 as the release window for Ghost of Yotei. There's been much talk about Sony maybe waiting for Rockstar to announce GTA 6's release date so it can make sure Ghost of Yotei doesn't clash. GTA 6 is currently set for a vague fall 2025 launch, but some are wondering if parent company Take-Two will delay the game into the winter or potentially beyond.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
You're getting into like... Here's one of those things. You know what? That's fair. Borderlands 4 right now has not differentiated itself from Borderlands 3, where Borderlands 3 I ate so much of and had so much and played all the DLCs to where I'm just like, all right. Between Borderlands 2 and 3, I had so much time to anticipate. And now here I am like, all right, well.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I feel like Borderlands 3, I never loved any of the Vault Hunters I was able to play as. That was just never my thing, right? I did the... Shit, the robot guy. Whatever his name was. It doesn't matter. He was cool. Yeah, right? He was fine. But it was like, whatever. So I think for a 4, I need a character I look at and go, oh, I want to be that. Kind of like in pre-sequel.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Yeah, pre-sequel where I could be like the Wonder Woman clone with the shield and stuff. That was great. What I'm saying, though, and where I'm going with this conversation is I think I'm more excited for Ghost of Yotei than I am GTA 6. Not because I don't love GTA. Not because I'm not excited for GTA 6. Just because they're giving me something. I understand what the game of Yotei is going to be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Obviously, I love Erika Ishii. Like, I'm ready to get in there. I'm ready to play this. I know... Like, I look at this and I'm like, yes, I can see me doing this. And especially, personally, being disappointed with Assassin's Creed Shadows, this I expect to hit on all the levels Tsushima did and hopefully exceed that, right? And I look at that and I'm like, yeah, I want all of that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think so, because part of what gets me excited, I mean, the things that gets me excited, I think the most for showcases is the vibe of us all together. We're doing the reacts. We're doing the thing. We're getting up at an ungodly hour, but we're all going to have fun. It reminds me of old E3. It's going to be this. It's going to be exciting to me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
The monetary system sounds interesting. Whereas GTA 6 is more GTA... better-looking GTA, better systems, da-da-da-da-da. But until I'm really seeing what that game is and what my moment-to-moment gameplay is going to be, it's like, okay, well, I've done GTA a lot.

Raj and I were having a conversation that became a conversation out there. We were talking about video games and games we like and games we don't like and things we didn't like in one game and things we didn't like in another game. And one of the things I was talking about is like, well, eventually in every open world game, right, you get to the point of like,

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I've got to go do X. It's the most important thing in my life. But I'm also going to go sink this tower, and I'm also going to go find this guy's cat. There's that juxtaposition for it, right? I do find this very interesting of every odd job in Bounty will provide the coin she needs on her journey, period, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
If they really do lean into that from a story perspective of being like, listen, Atsu is on this revenge tale, but everything costs money, so you actually need to earn money. And I know Bounties are nothing new in an Assassin's Creed, but it also is like... I do them, and it's very rare that I do them in those kind of games, and I'm like, I'm doing this specifically.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Yeah, I'm not the Nintendo guy, sadly, as I was a Sega kid. I have no backbone or no nostalgia for Nintendo. But I'm excited for the Switch, too. Like, I'm looking forward to the Switch, too. I'll obviously be buying it on day one and stuff like that. So, yeah, what's up their sleeve will be exciting. And, yeah, what I love... And this is one of the things I talked about in today's Gregway, right?

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
And again, back to where it just doesn't feel like churn, right? Assassin's Creed always has, like, all the different people, right, that you go through and you X out and you meet up to the bigger guy, right? But if it is, like, I would rather it not even be that. I would rather I go to the menu and I know that I'm going for guy Y and gal Z. Yeah. That killed my family, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
But to get to them, I need to travel. I need better gear. I need all this stuff. And I have to take these bounties and odd jobs to actually earn the coin to actually make that work. I think that'd be interesting.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
No, I think it would go earlier. I think Sony wants it out this year. I would imagine Sucker Punch is confident in being able to deliver. I would hope they're to maybe even just bug fixing and polishing right now and just waiting in the wings to get this guy out. And so my hope would be you get it out before GTA 6. I do think that's what they're waiting for.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I do think that Ghost is not Mario where you would not want to go toe-to-toe with that. You would want to give people room for it. I think the biggest benefit would be getting out before it. Because for so many people, GTA will be a forever game. I do hope it's ready for that.

I hope it's not a place where it's like, oh man, you know, performance is weird, frames are bad, buggy, whatever it is. They can't have that. In the super chat, I asked if you're more excited for Ghost or GTA. Parks View says, Ghost of Yotei is more my speed over GTA 6. Dexter said, look at me, I'm Greg Miller, and I got to steal Tim's Getty Stars to be a real gamer.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Also, I'm more excited for Ghost because I love that time period. Love you. I love you too, and you will. Buy the t-shirt. Most successful game, shout out shirt. It'll all be forgiven. Don't worry about that. Those are the ones answering the question I asked. Street Shadow wants to evolve the question. Evolve it. Honest question.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Why are we so down on games releasing in 2025 when we have seen Sony and other companies more focused on closer to releasing marketing like Death Stranding 2 and Astro Bot? I think it's more the fact that We're down on games saying generally 2025 because so many games get delayed all the time. I feel like games get delayed all the fucking time.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Zelda will follow Link, quote, "...a young warrior destined to protect the magical kingdom of Hyrule from forces of darkness." The land is under threat from Ganon, a ruthless warlord who seeks the Triforce, an ancient relic said to grant limitless power.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
To stop him, Link must embark on a perilous journey battling monstrous creatures, exploring treacherous dungeons, and solving intricate puzzles to uncover sacred artifacts that can aid him in his quest. Furthermore, movie industry insider Daniel Richtman has claimed that Nintendo and Sony Pictures are planning a potential movie trilogy for Zelda.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think Nintendo's usually pretty good at that. Knock on wood. We'll see if they can make it across the finish line. Yeah, two days. Tuesday night, something happens. Some store in some other... Walmart Canada. Exactly. Somebody else goes out there and does it, but we'll have to wait and see. Yeah, but I am stoked. I'm very, very ready for it, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
According to Richtman, all major acting roles will be signed for three films planned over six years. That synopsis sounds fire. I mean, that synopsis is every Zelda thing. Yeah, but I don't want them to fuck with it. I want a traditional Zelda movie. I don't want, you know what I mean?

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Because I'll be straight up with you. I don't want Breath of the Wild and I don't want Tears of the Kingdom. Yo, Link's been sitting in a pool for 100 years. Now we're bringing him out. Like, this sounds like Ocarina. Yeah. Hey, here's a boy who's going to go out and do the... He's destined to become the hero. Okay. Here comes Ganon, a ruthless warlord.

Not a fucking dragon in the sky spitting out... He'll eventually get there. But you know what I mean? Like, this sounds like we're starting from a normal place that'll then evolve into if we're doing three movies. I don't mind movie two be... I don't mind the end of movie one being, Link, you've done it. You've vanquished Ganon. Now we need to put you in this pool. Yeah.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I was thinking about that this morning. Again, I think you combine different ideas. I don't think you're locked into it. Somebody has gone through in the normal chat over there was like, I think Ocarina is not a normal Zelda story. A normal Zelda story would be just the legend of Zelda, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
I think you could toy with Ocarina if you're doing the time travel stuff the same way we're talking about this, right? Where it is, maybe you never get out of being young Link in the first movie and then it is that your whole thing is building to getting the Master Sword and going to the Temple of Time, right? And then you do it and you pull it out and then Link walks out, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
What would you most be excited for if they announced it? I mean, we've said this, but I hate saying it because then it makes it sound like I'm expecting when I know it won't be there, but a new Animal Crossing. That will not happen. That does not make sense. Don't even tease it, but if they have a new Animal Crossing, I'd fucking lose it.

Number four on the Roper Report. US retailer documents shed light on Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order plans. This is Tom Henderson at Insider Gaming. Retailers are expecting that they will run out of pre-order units for the Nintendo Switch 2 on day one, despite Nintendo allegedly accumulating a large quantity for launch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
That's according to internal emails and documents provided to Insider Gaming from a large U.S. retailer who are anticipating they will sell out of the Switch 2 on the same day they open up the pre-orders due to a limited number of units allocated for Nintendo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
According to the documents, the Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled to release in June, a release month that has already been widely rumored and was a highly talked about. And was a highly talked about by developers at GDC this year. That's not on me.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
No, that was a longer sentence. However, the documents do add a little confusion as to when the pre-orders go live, especially following the Best Buy Canada leak earlier this week that revealed they'd go up live on April 2nd. According to the documents from U.S. retailer, pre-orders are set to go live on April 9th, one week after the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct.

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
The documents include messaging strategy following the Direct to include pre-order coming soon, messaging, and a countdown clock that will end on April 9th with an exact time to be confirmed by Nintendo on April 2nd. The document also included details on an exclusive collectible coin for those who pre-ordered the console. Whether or not Best Buy Canada's leak was a mistake or not, it is unclear.

But the company did promptly remove the information after it started circulating online. In any case, though, pre-orders are almost certainly going to go live within a week of the Direct. Take it to the bank 1,000%. It's not the direct day. Yeah, no. It's definitely going to be a week.

No game in the company's history has sold more after a month on sale. Wilds was already the fastest selling game in Capcom history.

Fuck, I was like, ah, that was really smart. I appreciate it. I appreciate it.

Wilds was already the fastest selling game in Capcom history after selling 8 million copies in just three days. The Monster Hunter series has already broken the West with the 2018 launch of World, which remains Capcom's best selling game ever with 21.3 million sold. But it seems likely that over time, Wilds will surpass even that figure. Congratulations. Fuck yes.

Somehow flossing in the car is 100% less tedious than in the mirror. I've gone back on this a few different times and thought about this. Yeah. Because again, I was vulnerable. I was vulnerable when I said all this and that I don't get it.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25

Yeah. And I just don't, that just, there's never been a, that's never been a great, and every mouth's different. Every, you know what I mean? Whatever. So when you're flossing, you're not doing like a motion? No, I go in, I go down. You're just going in there. Yeah, I go between the teeth, down between the gum and the tooth where you're supposed to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Will GTA 6 Mess Up Ghost of Yotei's 2025 Release? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.31.25
Keep the gums nice and healthy, and I move to the next one. But no, I'm not popping things out. Nothing's coming out. And you're flossing with one hand. Yeah. Well, those little flossers are so nice. I'm not like you doing this thing. You know, the little plastic handle, you know, with the floss in there? Okay. Life game changer. I'm not as mad at it as I was at the beginning of this.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I think this is something I put in chat during the conversation of, we recently got the Asus ROG Allies, right? And I boot mine up and it booted up right into Windows. And, you know, immediately I'm like, oh man, it'd be great if I could boot this right up into SteamOS, which I'm sure I know I can set it up that way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
But like, if Xbox had an OS that I could boot right into from whatever piece of hardware that I'm rocking, that sounds like so much the dream to me as far as what the future of Xbox could be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
No, just the fact that there's not much of a difference.

Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Can I say something about Phil Spencer? I'd love to hear something. I hope it's what I want to say about Phil Spencer. I think in regards to how he talks about vision and how he talks about other platforms and talks about video games, I don't think anybody does it better than Phil Spencer. I think Phil Spencer is like, as far as the front-facing being able to, I think, speak to...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
like, other parts of the industry that not, like, Xbox either doesn't touch, right? Or Xbox, I guess, you know, wanting to put games on Nintendo. The way he talks about, like, man, my eyes are gonna love the bigger screen, can't wait to support them with the games that we got. I love it. Like, I think that stuff is, I think that stuff is absolutely awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I know we've complimented Phil Spencer for years, and, like, we've also, like, you know, criticized, right? And, like, I talk about front-facing stuff specifically because I know on the business side there are things that we can sit here and all day talk about when you want to talk about layoffs and all these things, right? But, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
You know, I think he's really great at speaking to these parts of the industry. And one day, he's going to be gone, right? Somebody's going to replace him. And I think when that happens, I think a lot of us are going to miss Phil Spencer in this role. Because, like, I think he's going to be replaced by someone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Or not replaced, but, like, I guess when he leaves, I think somebody's going to fill in the shoes. Fill in the shoes? That's still going to do all the same business shit. They're still going to lay off people. They're still going to struggle with all this Xbox shit. I don't know if anybody's going to be able to speak to things like this as well as Phil Spencer does.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
You don't think it's the stress?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
That kind of thing. So now I'm like, I don't know if I need to do a protective mask around myself for the next week.

Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
You're fighting against the cold. You said the kid's fighting. Yeah, the kid's got a cold. That's different. That's different. Bear walks in with a mask. Everybody's germy right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Not even that. Don't say that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Yeah, I think that is... For the short term, sure, right? I will never say never. I think in the next five years, yeah. Like, I don't see PlayStation. Sure, yeah, our next console lifecycle is happening. We're getting a PlayStation 6.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
But I think, too, if we're speaking to what we've theorized as far as, yeah, Xbox everywhere, Xbox OS, yeah, like, if the Xbox console business becomes so, like, not as important as, like, the Xbox ecosystem business, I could see the argument to where PlayStation gets to the point where
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
You know, they get the PC sales, they get the PlayStation sales, they look at those numbers and go, ah, God of War, whatever the next one is, is still too expensive. How do we get some more money out of this? Oh, man, looks like this Xbox thing is doing really well as far as being able to pick up any hardware and play Xbox on it. Yeah, sure, like, let's see if we can get there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
The only reason why it doesn't make sense right now for PlayStation games to come out on Xbox is because of PlayStation strategy and Xbox is still perceived as a direct competitor, right? I think once you move towards that of boot up any OS on your Xbox hardware or on your Microsoft hardware, maybe they drop the Xbox thing for the hardware and keep it more so Microsoft to find a new name, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
and have it be the Xbox OS or Xbox ecosystem or whatever it is, the more they go toward that direction, the less of a direct competitor they are to PlayStation, and the more PlayStation might look at them and see money bags and go, wait a second, this makes sense for us now. I think that could happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I think the only company right now to where I'm like, oh man, I don't know if I could ever see it at this point is Nintendo. Nintendo putting their games out on a PlayStation or an Xbox. And again, never say never, maybe 20 years from now, There's going to be some shift.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Maybe it's still, I think PlayStation is going to hit those crossroads where they are going to have to choose between maybe having to like go the Xbox direction because video games on this business is so volatile or go the Nintendo side of, all right, like, We are a toy company also, right? See, I don't think they got the juice for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Yeah. Yeah, I'm here. I'm healthy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I think they could do it if... I think it might take some refinement of what the current output is currently, right? Like, I think... We're seeing... Yeah, last year was a bit slow. This upcoming year might be slow, although Ghost of the Yotei and Death Stranding 2, plus maybe Marathon or whatever, it could pick up this year, I think.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
But I do think that you're going to have to pick up the pace, and that might mean that... It is what we talk about, what we've talked about a lot of, hey, not every game needs to be 20, 30 hours. Like maybe we are going more of the Uncharted Lost Legacy route.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Maybe we're going the Spider-Man Miles Morales route for some of these games so that we can put... Maybe we are looking at Team Asobi as the blueprint for PlayStation studios that aren't Sony Santa Monica or Naughty Dog. That way we can get out more games. And like to the way that you put it of like, you know... Nintendo was the toy company.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Microsoft, I guess we would call, like, OS or, like, you know, tech company, right? Like, I think PlayStation, the PlayStation part of Sony can be the IP company. Like, they can be the, all right, we got that stuff, but then on the hardware side, like, there is an ecosystem that is there that, like, I think can be solidified and can hold for it and go, no, like, we have figured this out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I think the thing about it that's made it tough this generation are there have been big swings that just didn't hit. Therefore, it feels like things are missing, right? PSVR 2 came out and a lot of resources went to PSVR 2. And, man... If PSVR 2 was something different that worked, we would be talking about this PlayStation hardware lineup as something special.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Because we got, of course, the PlayStation hardware, PS5 Pro, PlayStation Portal, right? You got the earbuds that I love. You got the PlayStation Pulse Explorers. Explorers are the ones I love. But you got the Pulse Elites. I like that. If PSVR 2 either hit and was really, really good, or if PSVR 2 instead was the actual Sony handheld that we want, or some other thing...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I think there is something there that could work long-term for them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
we're trying to take care of people like you know sells 50 million right like these games that don't have the budget of a god of war ragnarok are outselling god of war ragnarok by like double at least right like nintendo has something special in that regard and i think that might end up being the struggle of again like you might have to figure out how to
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
reallocate not reallocate but i guess like adjust those budgets to then maybe and it's the tough thing of i can it's the advice that i can never give is somebody who doesn't make video games and like just watches the business i can't look at playstation and go ah you know just make animal crossing Just make a Mario.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
That is such a Disney... They have found the sauce of what Nintendo has done that I cannot look at Sony or Xbox or anybody else and be like, oh, just replicate that. But they kind of have to figure out how to replicate that, at least to some extent, I think, because I think those budgets have to lower a little bit, and those game sales...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I don't know like have to be able to make up for like whatever financial like financial um I guess discrepancy I don't know if that's the right word but the the thing there that that I think is the struggle right now for how the video game industry has gone sure
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Yeah, that's a tough question for me to answer without being Doctor Strange and being able to appear in different universes of, like, oh, instead, what if Don Matrick had continued? At the very least, I'll say I think Phil Spencer is better for Xbox than if Don Matrick continued to be the head of Xbox and push in that direction.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
But, like, I think as far as perception and as far as, like, speaking to the audience and all that stuff and, like, being a vocal leader and all that stuff, I think, yeah. Giving it an identity. Yeah, like, I think all that stuff is good, but again, like, I... to the Activision Blizzard acquisition and how I think that's dominoed into gigantic amounts of layoffs, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Which is also compounded by the state of the industry and compounded by what happens when you acquire any company, let alone a company that big. I think... There's that in, I don't know, there's so many, I guess, like, choices of things that happen behind closed doors that I can't speak to. Of course. Because I just don't know, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Of, like, all right, if that didn't happen, what would Xbox be now, right? Like, people have, like, a lot of people might still have their jobs or not because maybe Activision would have fucked things anyway and, like, laid off all these people anyway. Oh, they would have. Yeah, like, it's so impossible. It's such an impossible question to answer for me.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
xbox is like my number one platform for the first half of this year as far as what exclusives look like and i'm very excited for yeah avowed very excited for doom i'm very excited for uh south of midnight you know like the list goes on even like the xbox is looking very very strong for 2024 so far or 2025 so far and maybe even stronger

Oh, that's fun. So Ben's been obsessed with it. And Ben's understanding everything that's going on here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
There you go. Cool. Cool. Not much to say about it. I think the only interesting thing to say about this is Xbox's continued strategy of partnering their first-party developers with third parties to work on one project, right? The same thing is happening with Perfect Dark, I believe, where they're working with Crystal Dynamics.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Because you lost me halfway through.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
And I think there have been other examples of this I can't think of off the top of my head, but... I'm very fascinated about this. I'm sure Phil has probably talked about this in interviews, but I want to find the answers of what inspired this? Why is this such a consistent thing among you? And also, how does this help? Is this a thing that other developers need to do?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Does this help with cost and scope and all these things?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
One that I will recommend, although I've been probably too young just for how complex this game is, but maybe this is one that you can play with you and Jen, or this could be a stream game. There is a board game called Kim Joy's Magic Bakery, and basically what it is is overcooked in a board game format.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Um... Oblivion, I can see it. E-Day, I wouldn't be surprised if E-Day is planned for this year, but maybe pushes into... Targeting? Yeah, targeting 2025, but maybe pushes into 2026. Because, like, when you think of the second half of the year for Xbox, right? Like, most of the developer direct was stuff for first half. Second half, we're getting Ninja Gaiden 4, which is really cool, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
And that is being published by Xbox in partnership with the studios working on that, Koei Tecmo, Team Ninja. But, like... Outside of that, what are the expectations? Outer Worlds 2 is still announced for 2025. Do we see that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Yeah, look it up because I don't think it was, but I think the expectation. You're saying that? Yeah. I don't think that's this year. I think it was either Mike or somebody talking about it, and I was like, really? I don't feel like it's coming out this year, but maybe it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Nick, I want to believe. With both Fable. Thanks, Nick. With both Fable and Outer Worlds 2 dated for 2025, I don't think Gears of War E-Day is coming out in 2025. You saved that for 2026. Domino's.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
dominoes they got these dominoes lined up you can't play to put all three of those games out in 2025 oblivion i see is a small thing oblivion i think might be just like a um a shadow launch especially with uh was it like an sgf shadow drop maybe yeah no way really you think oblivion because here's the thing i get the vibe tom warren called it a remaster yeah if it's a remaster that that can be a day and uh drop yeah i think they just shit that out my thing about that one is i feel like that is the first time in a long long long time
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
where similar to kind of how you described your game right of like you have like different rows and like the first row is customers right where each turn you flip a customer and they have an order and then like as the turns go like the customer moves to the right and then you flip a new one so now you're trying to fulfill multiple orders the second row I think is like ingredients and then the third row is like layers actually I think I got that backwards but like you have layers you have ingredients so basically you're trying to you and whoever you're playing with co-op mode

New Vegas. Come on. What are we talking about? How many of us are going to play Oblivion for a day and a half and go, oh, man. All right, cool. This is older Skyrim. And then move on and play something else. Huh? You know, you're not wrong. You're not wrong on that one. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Not that I don't want to take away from the importance of Oblivion and all that stuff, because I know it's a very important game. Elder Scrolls has such a big fan base. But Oblivion doesn't strike me as the one that's like, everybody stop. Oblivion remasters out. We got to clear our plans. Take the day off work. Play Oblivion remaster. It's like, no, man. Put it out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I mean, the article is somewhat right, though, as far as there's a spectrum now when it comes to remasters, to remake. So I could see it being maybe like in the Metroid Prime thing of, all right, it is a remaster, but they fine-tuned some things. It's 4K now, you know, 120 FPS in that thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Constantine Film has held the film rights to Resident Evil since the late 1990s? Uh-huh. How'd they let that happen? That seems like a... If I'm Capcom... When you watch the documentary, is there anything else they said about Constantine?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
That seems like a bad business decision from Capcom.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
I guess good for Constantine films. Resident Evil back then, being able to put out a billion of these movies and stuff. Good for them. Also, Barbarian, I'm with you. Fantastic film.

What was that? The Solitaire Conspiracy? Yeah. That's crap. Don't get that one. Thomas was alone. That could be a kid's cartoon real easy. It was just shapes. Do you think we can get a deal to where as long as we put something out every four years, we keep the film rights forever?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
you're trying to like essentially build people's orders as they go and use like certain actions so you have three actions per turn that you can do to try and like make people's orders okay it makes more sense in action but like the cool thing about it too is that it has scenarios to it and so like i've played so far twice with like different people so we both played the first scenario yeah where there's like a um a big cat that's like lying on top of some of the layers and so if you want to move the cat you have to take an action to move the cat and then get the layer that you

I also love Mike Flanagan, but he doesn't give you a zombie guy, but I wouldn't say he was a vampire guy before. It would be a very different Resident Evil.

The only two people celebrating.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
One... Do you think Phil Spencer gets tired of saying the same thing over and over and over and over again? And then two, how much more is he going to need to say this until he doesn't need to say it anymore?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
But even then, you're just going to still get the question of, And that's my thing, because, like, you know, to the Starfield thing, like, yeah, when it comes out, right? But, like, I'm talking even more broader, just Xbox games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Because Starfield can come out next week on PlayStation, and there's still going to be the question when we get to Fable of, oh, is Fable going to come to PlayStation at launch? Is it going to come to PlayStation a year after launch?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Whatever. Shut up, bro. We're fucking tag radio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
Yeah. My question then becomes, why don't we see this? And maybe it happens and I don't see it, but on the PlayStation side, PlayStation does the same thing, maybe not bring their games to Xbox, but most PlayStation games, if not seemingly all of them, end up on PC, right? There is, I think, a wee news of Rise of the Ronin. The Steam date for that got announced.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Phil Spencer Talks Switch 2 Support, Starfield on PS5 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.27.25
And it doesn't feel like people have to ask the same question every time for PlayStation. And that's the simple answer.

Even the headline expresses disappointment over Game Awards snub. So here's where I am. I immediately deleted all the information from Game Awards, right? Other than Astro Bot won, and I won Alana Pierce's Game of the Year thing yesterday because of it. I get here and I say snub and I'm like, oh, I didn't realize, I wasn't even thinking that Black Mouth wasn't nominated for a lot of stuff.

Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
And then you start reading, well, it won two awards and it was nominated for Game of the Year. And so then as I'm reading the statement from the director, I'm waiting for the turn where he gets really angry and talks about like, this is unjust and unfair. And I didn't get that at all from this either, which I agree with you.

Number two on the ROPA report, the Nintendo Switch 2 as described by dbrand. This is Jay Peters and Sean Hollister over at The Verge. Nintendo is inching ever closer to its promised deadline to reveal the Switch's successor before April 2025.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
But new leaks from case manufacturers appear to reveal exactly what the Nintendo's next console could look like and a few notable upgrades it might have over the original Switch. We have images apparently. We were inspired to write this article in the first place because of dbrands just announced Kill Switch 2 case.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
The website for the product features an in-motion render of the case and inside a mock-up of hardware that has some key differences from the Switch and Switch OLED. The new console appears to be larger and it has a mysterious new second button on the right joy-con under the home button. Accessory leaks over the past several days have shown a similar potential design for the hardware.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
It seems dbrand is reasonably confident in the case, but we asked CEO Adam Ijaz to be sure. He says dbrand has, quote, actual dimensions, end quote, not an educated guest, based on a 3D scan of the real hardware. When we asked how he knows that, Ijaz only said, quote, nice try, Nintendo.

Nintendo's spec sheet shows its previous handheld is 242mm wide, 102mm tall, and 13.9mm thick, where iJazz says the Switch 2 should measure 270mm wide, 116mm tall, and 14mm thick. with the console portion taking up 200mm worth of that width.

iJazz says it's his understanding that Joy-Cons are magnetically attached with an eject button that's on the back of the Joy-Cons near the top, and his new case takes advantage of the detachable controllers. He says the controller portion of Dbrand's case, which can detach with them inside. He doesn't know what the second square button is under the home button, which he says has a C printed on it.

Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
The left Joy-Con in Dbrand's mock-up still has the button of the left Joy-Con, which is where you'll find the capture button on the original Switch. So it's unclear if this C button now means capture or if both buttons work differently. This gif is fucking hilarious the longer it goes.

While it's highly unusual for an accessory maker to publicly reveal this much about a product from a powerful, litigious company like Nintendo, it's not surprising that dbrand's the one stepping up to the plate. Having beef with console makers is an intentional part of its marketing strategy, and Nintendo is a frequent target.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Like that Zelda skin that was the middle finger Nintendo's lawyer, or the quote-unquote not Animal Crossing one. Much of what D brand is showing and what I jazz is saying lines up with a video from switch up, uh, showing what he calls a switch to mock-up sent to them by a case manufacturer.

Nintendo's going to fuck this up. Samuel Superchats says, Hey guys, two slightly off-topic questions. Fuck you, Samuel. You asked him early, but then this topic came to you. So there you go. Number one, is there a reason we never got a Tears of the Kingdom spoiler cast? And number two, why did the switch to Prediction Gamescast never actually happen? All the love, Samuel.

Yeah, if Nintendo's going to give us more runway for that, we'll take more runway for it. And I think then, again, what are your Switch 2 predictions? Makes a lot of sense two days before the Switch 2. We know it's happening, right? Like, there you go. It'll happen eventually. Don't worry, Nintendo fans.

Today in the nerdy news you need to know about, was Black Myth Wukong snubbed at the Game Awards? We might have the Nintendo Switch 2 design, and Capcom is reviving more old franchises. We'll have all this and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily.

Now, you're saying teaser. You're tossing the trailers in there because there was the two, right? The Kevin Costner one and then the Russell Crowe one. Okay. Yeah. But like, come on. Real quick. I'm going to watch Creature Commandos. Do not think I will not watch Creature Commandos. Everybody calm down. I downloaded them from my flight to LA. Then there was a tsunami warning. Yeah.

We're back with number three, like the Dudley boys. Capcom says it's working on reactivating other dormant IPs like Onimusha and Okami. Can I stop you right there? I was going to say you sure should.

Yeah, I'm not sure he's going to watch it. I have to. I mean, I have to have it watched by Thursday. I don't want to be like, who's that? Or whatever you got. And then some more on the channel. Like, you fucking idiot.

Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Oh my God, Okami. We go to Jordan Miller's reporting over at VGC. Capcom has said it's working on quote-unquote reactivating dormant IPs following the announcements of Onimusha and Okami sequels this week. On Thursday, the Japanese development giant announced that it is developing a new entry in the Onimusha franchise, the first in several years.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
The game, which is set to release in 2026, will be a new entry in one of the many Capcom franchises that fans have requested new games from for some time. Now, Capcom has said that it's working on bringing more legacy franchises back in modern forms.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Quote, in addition to regularly releasing major new titles each year, Capcom is focusing on reactivating dormant IPs that haven't had a new title launch recently.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
A statement on the company's investor relations site says the company is working to further enhance corporate value by leveraging its rich library of content, which includes reviving past IPs like the two titles announced above in order to continuously produce highly efficient, high quality titles. End quote. What a concept.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Plus, I saw this really cool idea that like there was a whole fan theory I saw on TikTok yesterday of how in Creature Commandos spoilers, they show that Cersei got arrested and that they're thinking that's how this guy was making the pitch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
He's going to come eventually. So right now,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Like that's how Superman the movie is going to open is that it's going to be Superman suiting up like we saw in the image to go fight the purple from Cersei's magic outside. And then he'll go best her and that's her getting arrested. That'd be pretty cool. She got arrested in Metropolis. We'll see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
yeah holy shit yeah what do you think and this is gonna sound crazy do you think for okami there's a lot of people who is okami more a myth at this point i feel like we always get in this thing where we grew up slash was working at ign when okami's like popping off right so it's like i remember okami and i remember the ds one where you're the pup but it's like i feel like then current gamers have they gone back and played okami and i know there's been re-releases in this and the other
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Yeah, I want to make sure when we're talking about this, right? Like, I think... It's an interesting starting point. It's something that obviously people are excited. It was a great Game Awards announcement. It's going to be beautiful. Games are in a different place even than they were with the original Okami, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Where I think a sequel to Okami that is gorgeous in art and doing all this music is going to do so much better now than it would have been back then.

M. Night. Super Chat's just like you came to be part of the show and says, do you think we could ever get a Mega Man-like Metroid Prime? Yes. What is Mega Man... What are they actually going to do? When they finally say we're reinvigorating Mega Man and bringing him out, what is it going to be?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Sure. Okay. Do you think he's next?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
I mean, we're back to a black myth Wukong combat conversation, right? Of course. No, it's just not great. You know what I mean? That's the thing. Everybody wants to operate in binaries. And it was when people were like, Batman v Superman is worse than Green Lantern. I'm like, y'all need to get your head checked.

My feelings on Helldivers 2 Omens of Tyranny Update can so far be described in bursts of, quote, oh, this car is awesome, and, quote, are you kidding me? The Illuminati are incredible. But there is also one surprise waiting for me in Helldivers 2 this morning that I wasn't happy to see. Arrowhead isn't just selling armor in the store tab anymore, but weapons too.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Well, one weapon for now, the stun baton. One of two melee options new to the shooter can only be unlocked by purchasing it directly from the Superstore for 200 super credits. Unless I've been living under a rock, this is the first time Arrowhead has sold a non-armor item outside of a war bond. Helldivers 2's battle pass-like progression system.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
I'm uneasy about the precedent this sets for the future of the game. Of course, the article goes on and stuff, but they're talking about that slow tip, the slippery slope of pay to win or whatever. Tim, do you worry? Do you care?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Golden Spider is saying that's not true. It's in the war bond, too. Well, maybe he said. Did he say only? He might have said only, but I think it's the idea that you'd have to unlock it in the war bond as you got, whereas this is an instant unlock, let alone the fact that he talks about the stun baton, one of two melee options new to the shooter. So is it the same? And I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
That was even before I hopped universes. Maybe it was a more metered take in this universe. In my universe, everybody was just saying the dumbest shit possible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
I know that it's there, but I don't know if it's the same baton as the one in the war bond, but I digress. Just talking in there. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't sound good here. Staff is in the war bond. Baton is in the store. They're different weapons. Thank you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Yeah, that's my thing about it, too, where it's like I played this weekend. We played, of course, after the game awards. I fucking love Helldivers. I love this update. I'm having so much fun. I'm excited to talk to Gary about it. I'm sure he's put another 500 hours somehow this weekend into it. Yeah, like Helldivers and Arrowhead. Arrowhead, I should say, actually.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
is so committed to Helldivers that if this was an oversight that's overstepping their bounds, I think they'd fix it and go back. But again, if it's just a different version or whatever... I also hated the... The batons are cute, but when I was playing with them, you're surrounded by the zombie Illumina, I'm hitting them all and I'm just getting killed anyway. So it's 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
I don't know if it's worth it or how it goes. And also, of course, it's PvP. I'm sorry, PvE. So do we really care? There's a million different things to it. I just think the war bonds are still cool. Still unlocking a bunch of stuff, having fun out there. It doesn't affect my gameplay. I wouldn't care about it. But we'll see what Gary thinks when he comes on the Gamescast.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Review it right after this. Sounds like a big deal. Tim, having the writer of the Book of Eli in the office is a huge deal. But I'm sticking to the big news. If I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I needed to know about, where would I go?

Number five, the Wii News. From Genki, Japan, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on PlayStation 5 and PC has been updated with features to make it faster to complete. These include Head Start.

A number of materia at max level and items useful to your adventure. Gear and accessories usually available towards the middle of the game, middle to the end of the story. 50,000 gil and fast forward event scenes. This will allow you to watch the scene without skipping over it at 1.5 or 2.0 times speed. This is worth talking about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
I think options are always great. I think the fact that the game has already existed and you can go do it and whatever. If this has been what's been stopping you, it's a nice thing to toss in there, right? And again, you got to get people up to speed to jump into the next one. Go for it. Elden Ring has shipped over 28.6 million copies worldwide. A lot of copies, Tim.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
That is honestly incredibly impressive. Indeed. CD Projekt Red has confirmed that Ciara Berkley replaced Joe Wyatt as Ciri in The Witcher 4. Of course, that was the stuff I saw getting clipped around all over it. We have a super chat from Kenan who says, how about all the ridiculousness of people talking trash about Siri and the new protagonist in Intergalactic?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
It's not like people complain about Alex, Ellie, Laura, Samus, or Aloy. I just don't get it. Keenan, there's a lot of money to be made by farming outrage. And so people like to farm outrage as if there's never been a playable female protagonist before, and that that is something that you need to get mad about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
So don't give it oxygen, and it'll go away, because those people will have to go find something else to farm outrage about. And your final piece of Wii news. Stellar Blade, holiday-themed event, which includes new cosmetics, seasonal music, and a new minigame, launches December 17.

Okay, fair enough. Um... And then we go to kindoffunny.com slash you're wrong where you can correct us with something we say.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
I think there's multiple issues, and I agree with the author, and we didn't read the entire article of what they're the most bent out of shape about, but I do think the FOMO of, yes, you could grind the credits and buy the thing from the store that way, but there's also the, is it going to be on the store that long? Should I spend the money right now and just get it?

Since Peggy gave us an 18-plus rating for having evil playing cards, maybe I should add microtransactions, loot boxes, and real gambling to lower the rating to a 3-plus like EA Sports FC. Goddamn.

Binks5 says, I'd be more excited about Superman. Ah, it's already gone. But he was saying, so far, Guardians and Suicide Squad haven't meshed for him. They haven't brought him in.

The hugely popular single-player title won the Action Game and the Community Voted Players Vote Awards at the Game Awards, but it missed out on Game of the Year, which was won by Sony's Astro Bot. In a post to the Chinese social media website Weibo, which has been machine-translated, G reportedly claims that he even wrote his acceptance speech for the Game Awards two years ago. Oh, God.

That's calling your fucking shot right there. That's calling your fucking shot right there. The post reportedly reads, in the end, it won best action and player's vote. Especially the player's voice, which is gratifying. But I must admit that there are disappointments and regrets.

Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
The games nominated this year are all excellent, but I really don't understand the selection criteria for this year's game of the year. I came here for nothing! From yesterday to now, I have also seen strong dissatisfaction, unwillingness, and unhappiness in the comments of many players, most of them expressed in a humorous and deconstructive way, which is hilarious, the translation continues.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
I can fully understand this unwillingness to sympathize with this unhappiness because I know that behind these emotions, it is not pain and malice, but self-esteem and self-confidence. It's unclear if the tone of the post is sarcastic or joking, as several phrases in the post are humorous in tone.

However, following the Game Awards, it was claimed by former Sony Santa Monica writer Alana Pierce that an unnamed developer from game science was seen crying when Astro Bot was announced as the winner of Game of the Year.

Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
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...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
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.

There comes a time in every long-running story where the truth finally comes out, the masks fall away, and the crowd sees their so-called hero for what he really is. For Kinda Funny's quote-unquote champion, Tim Geddes, that time is now. For too long, Tim has strutted around the Kinda Funny Game Showdown stage like some kind of trivia god. Racking up stars and drowning in his own hype.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
But hype can only take you so far. And when Greg Miller, dash dash, kind of funny, is walking Chaos Engine, came to cash in Stars in the Bank, Tim didn't meet the moment like a champion. No, he packed his bags, clutched his limited edition Joy-Cons, and fled the state. Fled the state. This goes on for a while. That's one page, two, three. This is four pages of just an essay this man wrote.

Then we're saying the same thing again. Yeah. But I think there's an interesting super chat I want to drag in there, okay? Lcaptain22 super chat says, kills me that every game like this from Sony is going to be mentioned with Concord while Helldivers 2's success is ignored.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
If Marathon doesn't work, Bungie closes, right? I don't know that I'd go that far. I think so. I don't mean immediately. 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. I think this would be the thing of like, okay, cool.

Concord did not look different enough. I think as, and I'm not, again, I'm not a person for, does that translate to live service success? Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Does that actually matter? I don't know.

It is the idea of when Marathon launches in September, where are we globally in the financial landscape?

I'm not the guy for this game. This isn't meant to be a great game, but I can tell you why I love and still play Helldivers. Oh, timer's going off. Why I love and play Helldivers, but why I look at this one and I'm like, I don't think I would come back to this one. This one says, quote, Team Greg, and then it's attributed to Hans Zimmer.

Thank you. I thought Hans himself was there. Aaron probably heard that in the bathroom. He probably heard him say that. Boycott Activision says, $40 equals less players. Free to play equals more cheaters, i.e. Delta Force. I love just coming out to dunk on Delta Force. Do we have to pay for Call of Duty? Warzone, no, right? Warzone's free to play? Oh, yeah. Okay.

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. Then you get into this other argument of, do we think Marathon is going to be better than Escape from Tarkov at launch? No. Now, granted, correct me if I'm wrong, Tarkov's only PC, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Marathon Launches September, Isn't Free-To-Play - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.14.25
That's not Xbox, not PlayStation, so you have no alternative over there. But obviously, a huge reason Helldivers was so successful was the idea of, hey, here you go. A lot of people in the chat are saying yes. So maybe I'm totally wrong. So it's like, or not even wrong. But again, we're talking about, hey, you are committed to Tarkov if you're that kind of player.

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.

Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Not only that, the Japanese game giant is hoping that the Switch 2 launch effect will boost the overall sales for fiscal year 2026 by 63.1% and then approximately $13.04 billion in financial profits boosted as well to $2.05 billion. However, The president's speech revealed concerns about the U.S. market and the future profitability of the Switch 2.

It was a walk-a-thon stream-a-thon where, of course, y'all came out on twitch.tv slash kindoffunnygames to subscribe, to support, and make sure these people had to walk the entire freaking weekend. What do you got for me there, Barry?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
As a next-gen console with extra features and improvements over the original, the Switch 2 console is more expensive than its predecessor. Quote, the unit sales price is high and there are corresponding hurdles. However, we are aiming for a launch on par with the first Switch, he said.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
These corresponding hurdles include worries about the U.S., which has been Nintendo's biggest market for the Switch 1. The president raised concerns about the possible impacts of Trump's tariffs on the Switch 2 and the American people's spending power. In the online press conference, he stated that the tariff policy will impact Nintendo's profits by tens of billions of yen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
He added, quote, If prices of daily necessities like food increase because of the tariffs, then people will have less money to spend on game consoles. If we were to adjust the price of the Switch 2 in response to the tariffs, this could decrease demand, end quote. Nintendo revealed more details about how it is factoring in U.S.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
tariffs in its shareholders Q&A summary published on the evening of May 9th. Quote, We have made this forecast based on the assumption that tariffs on Japan, Vietnam, and Cambodia will be 10% and tariffs on China will be 145%, Furukawa said.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
He noted that Switch hardware for the North American market is primarily made in Vietnam, while some Nintendo products, including accessories and amiibos, are made in China. Nintendo expects that tariffs will mainly affect hardware and is assuming that physical software will not be affected as it doesn't fall under any of the tariff categories announced by the U.S. government last month.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Although Nintendo's basic policy on tariffs is to treat them as a cost and factor them into prices, Furukawa also emphasized the need to sustain the momentum of Switch 2 sales and to make sure that the new console is widely adopted. Therefore, Nintendo will carefully consider various factors when changing any pricing, including its acceptability to customers. Jeffrey Grubb, how fucked are we?

Don't get mad at the elusive man. Don't get mad at the elusive man in front of his giant screen and his red Robin burger.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Which is one of the stupid things that we're sitting here saying like, oh man, okay. At least it's reasonable when it's still not reasonable what's happening. Exactly, yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Yeah, of course, just to give you a quick glance at that, New York Times reporting today, U.S. and China agree to temporarily slash tariffs in bid to defuse trade war. The United States and China on Monday took a step to defuse the trade war between the world's two largest economies, agreeing to temporarily reduce the punishing tariffs that have imposed on each other.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
The move by the United States after President Trump had repeatedly declared that he would not lower tariffs without concessions from China represented an acknowledgement of the costs of an all-out trade war with China.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Despite the White House's bluster, the Trump administration ultimately backed off, for now, from its steepest terrace and agreed to hold more formal talks with Beijing after companies and consumers started showing signs of economic strain. To your point, though, it's a temporary pause. And I think that's like... I said something...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
I guess when the tariffs first got announced and Nintendo delayed the pre-order, I don't know, somewhere in that conversation, I said, I was like, I just feel bad for Nintendo that they announced this on the day Trump announced this. And it was like, oh, don't feel bad for this corporation. Don't feel bad.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
If you want to go to the subreddit, I think even on maybe retweets on the Kind of Funny account, Barrett, and eventually throw one up when you can. There's plenty of shots in fan art of Mike in front of our giant TV, 10 inches away, ordering. I had to talk him out in the Twitch chat of ordering a Red Robin pizza. Like, what are you doing? What are you doing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
And I'm like, well, again, I don't feel bad for the corporation as much as the people who worked for years on this goddamn Nintendo Switch and got it to the cheapest price they could while still making a profit. And we're like, this is going to be great and people are going to love this toy we're making. And then they put it out and then this shit happens.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
And then now there's still a moving target. Like, you're talking about this is a 90-day pause, so it's not even they can lock it in. I thought it was so telling when they finally put up the pre-orders and were like, hey, this is the launch price of the Nintendo Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
They kept saying this is what it's launching at, which to me leaves the door open, of course, that if the world gets crazy after the launch, they're going to have to change this. Is this the cheapest we'll ever get a Nintendo Switch 2 for?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Yeah, what a shitty situation to be put in for no reason. Other than a moron. But I digress. Just a big dumb bitch. Just a big old dumb fucking idiot. Let's move on to happier news. Number three. Fallout TV star says his character's plot has been planned for up to at least season five or six. This is the one, the only. Chris Scullion at VGC.

I subscribe to their Patreon. Exactly right. Jordan Midler, a huge person. He's so big. He's big. You know what I mean? I'm scared. Yeah, I know. And we called him once, and he held up cans to his head, and I'll tell you, you can just see. You can just see how large this man is. Of course, there's a Super Chat question for you. How many seasons do you want from the Fallout TV show?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Super Chat over on YouTube.com slash Kind of Funny Games to be part of the show with your opinion. Anyways, back to this. One of the lead actors in the Fallout TV series says his character's arc ends around season five or six, suggesting its creators envision a long run for the show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Season two of the Fallout show just wrapped production last week, meaning it may still be some time before it appears on Amazon Prime Video. However, during a recent panel appearance at Comic-Con Liverpool, actor... Aaron Moten, who plays Maximus in the show, said his character's story is supposed to end three or four seasons later.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
That's what he was starting to do. That's in the chat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Quote, I was told when I sat down to do the series that we would have a starting point, and they gave me the end point, Moten explained in a clip posted to the show's Reddit page. Back to the quote. And that end point hasn't changed, but it is season five, six for the end point. We've always known that we're going to take our time with the development of our characters, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Moten's comments are obviously not confirmation that the series will last until season five or six because numerous factors could result in its cancellation before then. Jeff Grubb, how many seasons of a fallout show do you want?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
All right. But no, get a burger from Red Robin. Of course it's Ohio. You're going to come out and defend it. All right, Grubb. I'm also from Ohio. I would not defend Red Robin. No. No, we're not going to do that here. We're not going to do that. After Games Daily today, of course, we are a live talk show network. We start every day with Games Daily at 10 a.m. Pacific.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
I love the idea of having an end point. I wonder if that's his character's end point or the show's end point. I feel like what always happens for me with the shows I love that then turn to trash is that you have a great idea for a season, a season two, a season three, and then it becomes, well, we've got to keep going, we've got to keep going, and that's when you get Smallville, the witch season.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
You're like, what the fuck is this? Why is Lana a witch right now? This is awful. Or Lex leaves the show and we're going to power through. That was a bad decision as well. I digress. So yeah, for me with this, I loved Fallout Season 1 so much. I'm so excited for Season 2. I hold that hope that the Fallout 3 remastered Oblivion Treatment drops alongside Fallout Season 2. That's my prediction.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
That's my hope. But yeah, I'd want them to go as long as they're going to be able to keep up that caliber of it. And for me, it's so much not about... necessarily one person as much as that world, which I think is an ace up their sleeve of don't do the Walking Dead thing. I don't need three or four spinoffs, but have it be that Ella Purnell winds down, Maximus winds down.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
We go off, but we found these new characters that we're still going to chase and find and go with.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
A hundred percent. Yeah. I was surprised by how much, even as a fallout fan, how much I love that show. Like I think we're all so trained to be all right. It's a video game thing. Are they being respectful? Is it actually going to work? But I adored that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
And so I'm super stoked for season two and maybe through season six, CJ splits on super chats and says, feels like good TV shows top out at eight or I'm sorry, at five season five maximum. So right there, right in line with what you think, Jeff, five to six. Yeah. And then Kabob says, I implore Grubb, watch the original Namek art in Dragon Ball Z and tell us again there's no such thing as filler.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
And then he says JK.

I don't watch Lucy James content. Number four. Number four on the Roper Report. Tony Hawk will campaign all he can for a remaster of Tony Hawk's Underground. This is the big man himself, Jordan Miller of EGC. Super chat question. How many Tony Hawk game remakes do you want? Back to Miller's reporting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Tony Hawk has said he will, quote, campaign all he can, end quote, for a remake of Tony Hawk's Underground series. Tony Hawk's Underground was the fifth game from the Tony Hawk's pro skater lineage, taking the series in a new direction with a story focused campaign and more cut scenes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
The game is a fan favorite for its take on skateboarding culture and its move away from the arcade style goals of earlier games. Speaking at a preview event for the upcoming game, Tony Hawk was asked about the potential for remakes of the old games beyond the original four Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games. Quote, I always have aspirations, Hawk told Screen Rant. It's not up to me generally.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
I'll campaign all I can, but I'm working with a much bigger company that's a lot smarter than me, end quote. Hawk went on to say that an Underground remaster hasn't been discussed internally and that the success of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 Plus 4 could be a deciding factor in bringing back future games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
One major obstacle in remaking the Tony Hawk's Underground series that has been avoided, however, as it was announced this weekend that Bam Margera, after months of speculation, will appear in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 Plus 4. You gotta have Bam. You gotta have Bam. What are we talking about up here? Yeah. Jeff, where are you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
You know, I work with Tim, so all I hear is how great Tony Hawk is, pro skater this, pro skater that, da-da-da-da-da. For me, my love of the Tony Hawk games begins with Thug. Thug is the one where I was like, oh, this is what I actually want. I wasn't one for high score chasing, doing this, combo that, blah-blah-blah. I like the story business of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Where do you come down on the pantheon of Tony Hawk games?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Well, Thug was better than all of them, but here's Tim.

With me, Tim, and Nick. And then after that is the stream of some bodacious video games. If you're a kind of funny member, you'll get today's Gregway later. I had to drive Jen to the airport, and I didn't record it in the car like I normally do. But you'll get it. Don't you worry. I'll probably end up talking about Giant Bomb.

Fair enough. Then before we transition out of this, a question for you. What's your take on Skate? Are you excited for Skate this year?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Yeah, I'll be interested to see how it goes. I was a skate guy. I like skate more. I mean, I like thug, like I said, but it was a big deal, obviously, when this happened and skate originally popped. So to have it return, I'm excited about. Obviously, there's been so much question about monetization, free to play, like what does it need to be a success? I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
But like, I'm just excited to get my hands on it. Yep, me too. But guess what, Jeff? Me getting my hands on skate would be big news. All right. And frankly, we got a giant bomb going independent. We got 10 years of kind of funny. We got skate happening. That's all. I just don't. There's too much big news for me. I don't need that much big news.

Number five, we news from Steven Totillo's game file in an email titled Updates to Nintendo Account User Agreement and Nintendo Privacy Policy.

We're only going to do this if you're bad. Seems draconian, but hey, yeah, I get it. From Wesley Yinpool at IGN.com, Claire, Obscure Expedition 33's developer, has released a patch across all platforms. The update makes a long list of fixes and crucially balanced changes, including nerfing Claire Obscure's most game-breaking build. The build in question was for the young fencer, Mel-el? Mel. Mel?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Mel. And a sword called... Medellum? There's something wrong with his Medulla Moblingata, you know what I mean? Which unlocks a virtuose stance that deals 200% bonus damage. Players are combining this with ability stacking and the Stendhal skill, which deals extreme single target void damage to dish out billions of damage, enough to kill the final boss in just one hit. Let people have fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
They want to go do all this stacking stuff. Let them live.

Yeah, I want to get back to it. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is now Steam Deck verified. And then I added this bullet point. The biggest news of the day. Probably not even deserving of We News, but it came late. Are you ready, players? This is a press release from Krispy Kreme. Ready, players?

Any excuse to get Krispy Kreme, I'll take it. Let's go. Yeah, yeah. This is definitely the push I needed. If they don't show up today, I will bring them in tomorrow, of course.

Then Mad Rock says, note about the Stendhal nerf. It still hits like a fucking truck after a 40% damage nerf. That makes sense. I would take 40% of billions. Whiskey Samurai says, be careful putting these giant bomb guys on content. They might steal your company from you. JK, love you, Grub and Dan. And the rest of the Mount Bomber crew. Oh, I like that.

Koba writes in and says, you should be interviewing the guys who freaked Norman Reedus over the weekend. These giant bomb guys don't look like they freaked at the way those jabronis did. Again, 60 plus hours from Roger and Mike streaming Death Stranding. Thank you so much, gentlemen. I hope you are resting or maybe that was you who just came in. I don't know what's going on over there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
I see Wiener says in a super chat, please don't fire Mike and Roger. They were going for a level 27 hype train, whatever that is. Apparently, if they were calling everyone in the company, Nick answered but was about to do comedy. I answered and was brushing my teeth to go to bed. So that's the dual lives of the founders right there of Nick and me.

I had gotten Ben to sleep and it was time to go to bed. And then I had to walk outside to answer this phone call at night. Like, what the hell is happening? And then they all apologized dramatically.

You know, you're in a silent society. You go right to a voicemail, I guess. Mac and Awesome corrects me. Mike did get the pizza. The quote goes, this thing smells great. Takes a bite. This shit is nasty. Don't buy Red Robin pizza. Buy a burger.

Fandom sells Giant Bomb to independent creators. We start with the press release from Fandom. Fandom, the world's largest fan platform, is selling Giant Bomb to longtime Giant Bomb staff and gaming content creators Jeff Bacalar and Jeff Grubb. Financials of the deal were not disclosed.

Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Fair enough. God, this man, in his resting heart rate, he's going to die. 62 Mike super chats and says, hearing that Greg and Tim gave you guys advice puts a lump in my throat. Love you all. We love you. It was very nice.

Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
We appreciate you guys. And then the final super chat of the day. It comes from Bagman15, and I assume that this is from the wee hours of the 60-hour long stream. What do you believe are the top three breakfast juices in America? Hashtag freak it. I mean, orange juice number one, right? We're not going to be clever here. No way.

Yeah.

And then beyond that, I don't know, grapefruit? I'm not drinking juice to begin with.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
I don't know. Then we're getting into smoothie territory and stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
No, if it's got texture to it like that, right? Just go straight into smoothie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Pineapple juice is good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
What I used to do at IGN when I was dirt poor is I would buy cans of dull pineapple, and then that would be my breakfast at IGN. I would open it there, I would drink the juice, and then I would eat the pineapple, and that would be my breakfast at work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Yeah, no, I did. I still do. It never caught up to me that way. Perhaps the Pop-Tarts did. When they finally introduced... Well, first off, they gave free snacks when we moved to the new office. And that was because it was a MySpace building. And then a week and a half into being there, they had to send out a message to all the IGN editors saying, don't hoard snacks at your desk.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
They're up there for free. And then when we didn't do that, they moved to subsidized snacks where they put them in and sold them for 25 cents. And that's when... Me and Nick Colen would go up there every day when they restocked the Pop-Tarts and buy all the Pop-Tarts in the machine for 25 cents because it was such a deal. You're such a leader in this space. He's something.

Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
I don't know where you want to start tackling this one, Jeff Grubb, because I have about a gajillion questions about all of this, both when I've talked to you off the record long ago, when I talked to you more recently, when I ran into Dan in Montreal. There's a lot of moving parts to this that I would jump cut to Friday night when you all put up your tweet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Oh, I'm so sorry. How many co-owners of Giant Bomb are there now?

Everybody, the giant bomb Twitter popped off or blue sky popped off. Then all of you individually popped up with the same thing. Join us for our PAX East panel. Here's the date. Here's the time. And everybody was in a flutter. And I texted Dan, dirty Dan Reichert. And of course he would not tell me straight up what was happening. So I was left to hypothesize to the chat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
And then Jen and I together while making dinner. And I was like, it's got to be that they're buying giant bomb and we were both of, but I had that business deals like that. Don't move this quickly. This is an outrageous amount of time for this to have gone from, Hey, we have, we have questions about brand safety to, Hey, we're gone to now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
incredible so so awesome and i think you know you can stop me if i'm misreading it but even based on what you said there based on the statements everything else a rare one especially based on the week and a half it's been two weeks shout out to fandom on this like i think it would have been very easy for fandom to be a giant corporation and say well we own this brand and you don't matter and we're going to rebuild it or we're going to put it on the shelf and you don't get to have it go make up a new name do something else they'd
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
they could have done all these things. And I don't know what negotiations were like or what those, and I'm not asking you to get into specifics about them, but the fact that you were able to do this does speak to the fact that at least someone over there was like, listen, this brand is the personalities. Like you have to make this work this way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
And I think that was something Dirty Dan Reichert had blue-skied out as well. Skeeted? Are we still saying that he's skeeted? We just say post now. We just post now? Okay.

When he had put up the Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, WCW, WWE thing from way back in the day, which is a deep wrestling cut, but in storyline, Vince was about to buy WCW, his number one competitor, and then his son walked out and announced he owned WCW. The amount of times...

Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
I have daydreamed, and this is not because they're bad, but because of how much it meant to me of buying IGN or buying Podcast Beyond or whatever. The amount of times I've daydreamed, I've always in my head done the, I come out to Here Comes the Money and something stupid like that. So to see it actually happen, my question to you, Jeff Grubb,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Have you taken the time, have you had a second to step out of this and really savor this moment? I think about, you know, it's our 10th anniversary of going independent this year, right? I remember January 5th, 2015 as a blur that month. You know, I talked about it in my PAX keynote with Ben Starr, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Winning the Game Award is really where I was able to be like, whoa, we've done something crazy here. Like, are you able to understand right now or is it just meetings and just planning and just trying to get this thing going?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Well, you are story number one. Once again, what a difference a week makes, right? Last time you were here, Jeff Grubb is here and he's unemployed because you quit. And now you're back as the owner. Less than 10 days ago.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
Yeah, I think, you know, the power of Giant Bomb has always been that community. Obviously, the personality is driving it, but the community that surrounds it. And, you know, to watch that community mourn, I think really the loss of you, Dan saying he wouldn't work there again, Minotti saying he was gone. And then also that like, oh, man, what happens next?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
It was so interesting as an outsider, right, of watching Blue Sky, watching the Giant Bomb subreddit, seeing people post that they, you know, I'm unsubscribing for the first time ever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
And then when you made this announcement, that celebration of all the Ewoks, right, of putting up this screenshot of their reactivated, you know, Matt Piscitella putting out that he had reactivated his Giant Bomb subscription, which where can they activate that, by the way?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
It was really special to see that, you know what I mean? Especially having lived that and continuing to live that, right? Seeing the fact that you had an audience run back to you to go do this. And I think, you know, you and I have had many a conversation about this kind of content and doing this and living this life. And I was so happy to see you on that panel at PAX East talk about that, right?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
That ruled. Thank you, Jeff. You know, I mean, again, when you guys announced, well, talked to us privately that this was all happening, that was the first thing, you know, we hung up after giving our two cents of advice, me and Tim, and I was like, we need to sponsor this, right? Because I think it's such a... crazy full circle thing for us to be 10 years into our journey. Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25
And so much of it is this year, looking back at 2015, looking back at starting this and seeing you guys really take this step, which isn't the same, but is the same, but you know what I mean? Like it's so similar, I guess in the long, it's the 2025 version.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Giant Bomb is Saved! w/ Jeff Grubb - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.12.25

Anyways, what did stop you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
So then Andy, I turn my eyes to you. Yes. Based on the trailer we just saw, where are you thinking season two of Last of Us... Now, part two. How far are we getting? Are you standing by... I think we've all said... Spoilers for the game, right? I think last... We won't go into the story beats, and obviously we've been dancing around those, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
But the game's split into two parts pretty much, right? We have an Ellie section. We have an Abby section. Based on what we just saw there, are you standing by the time-honored tradition that we've been talking around here, that it's going to be season two, which is part one of part two, will be just Ellie stuff, and then we'll do the break there?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
It's so hard to say because I'm an idiot. You know what I mean? When I think about how you pace out a show, what do you do with a show and stuff like this, like... There's so much going on in Last of Us Part II that I just don't know the best way to tell that story. And I also think that's where the power of Craig Mazin comes in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Not to take away from Neil, but to have someone who knows television so well, knows this form of storytelling so well. Not to say that Neil doesn't know live action after season one, but to come in and really figure out for an audience that includes the general public, the more mainstream, what are they going to want?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Because the big thing we have talked about over and over again in the lead up to Last of Us Part II is... For gamers, even though it didn't work for all gamers, you got to play through this thing. You get to being Abby. You're like, oh, I don't want to be Abby. As a viewer, how do you keep people around? Just to pick up with the next season and be like, you're there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Do you run into a thing where we saw with Walking Dead where when Negan got introduced, so many people bounced off. That just wasn't what they wanted, even though that was a great comic book moment.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
and a great, I think, Jeffrey Dean, such a great version of the comic book character brought to screen, but it was too much like the comic, and it was a different medium, and it didn't work that well, and it scared people away. I don't know how you do that and balance that in here. I think this season, season one, you have to make Abby...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
Obviously, we're not going to like Abby, but we need to understand her motivations to be able to be like, okay, what's going on, blah, blah, blah. We're getting Fs in chats too, Barrett. I'm sure you can see it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
I'm not smart enough to figure out how you first off make Abby sympathetic in season one. So people aren't pissed off for season two. You know what I mean? This is confusing season maker sympathetic in season two to make her not horrible in season three for people. I don't know.

The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.10.25
like this looks so spot on for what they're doing. Right. And I know last of us episode season one was spot on as well, but to be able to look at it, there's this flashback. Okay. This, okay.

what i'm really thinking about and i guess it's a little bit different right now because of course neil druckman co-showrunner or whatever the hell his official title is on this right but i think so much of what it must be to be a developer and go to the set of fallout to be a naughty dog and see this out here be like this is what we made realized on screen like this looks so much in the fact that you can as fans we can look at this and immediately know where we're at that right there that

Let's move on to story number two and stay in the PlayStation ecosystem. Number two, Insomniac Games pitched Resistance 4 but never got it approved. This is Matt Kim at IGN. There was apparently a real push to get Resistance 4 made by the folks over at Insomniac Games, but unfortunately, the game never received the green light.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Insomniac's founder and outgoing president, Ted Price, is sitting down for interviews now that it's been announced he's retiring after 30 years at the helm of the studio. He most recently hung out with Kinda Funny Games for a chat and was asked if there was a favorite game of his that was pitched but never made it, to which he gave his answer. Quote, yeah, I'll share one, Resistance 4.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
According to Price, he and the developers, quote, did pitch that one, and it was a wonderful concept, and it just, in terms of timing and market opportunity, didn't work out, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
He added that the Insomniac team were passionate about extending the story further because I do believe that Resistance has set up a really cool alternate history base where anything can happen with the Chimera and where they go and what their origins are, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
blessing of course this was from my interview with ted price went live thanks for watching sharing breaking on interviews about this or news bits about this i knew this would be one of the ones that got uh made the rounds before we even get into it what was your history with resistance plus oh very little i have bought resistance three i heard more about resistance i had a friend lillian growing up uh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Resistance 3 was, I think, so different than Resistance 1 and 2. If they were talking about co-op.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Resistance 3 was when it was like... Even though it wasn't, it was way more in line with, I think, what you think of a PlayStation game now, when people want to make fun of it, right? Of, like, a dad having to do dad things. Like, that's what Resistance 3 was, right? He had to set off to stop the Chimera because of his son and shit. It was like, okay, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Yeah, it's interesting because I've heard a lot about Resistance 4 throughout the years and conversations, and I'm never sure how much is actually public. And so to see Ted come out and just make the rounds, I was like, oh, that's interesting that I guess I thought this was maybe more well-known than I thought it was that this happened to it. Again, I personally believe it's for the best.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
I understand Insomniac wanting to make Resistance 4. I understand them wanting to continue on the Resistance thing. I just think that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
playstation making first person shooters isn't the way to go necessarily and i think resistance 3 showed resistance 3 well my favorite resistance of course is uh uh the psp one resistance nathan grayson i'm out there i'm in a leather jacket why isn't nathan grayson the the um journalist i think there are two people i think there are two people there are two nathan grayson's i think so right jack correct me if i'm wrong resistance the retribution thinking it's nathan grayson's the main character retribution right

That's interesting. That's interesting. I never thought about that. If Nathan Grayson, the video game journalist, is also Nathan Grayson from Resistance. Nathan Hale. Nathan Hale. No, I just have Nathan Grayson on the brain. Nathan Hale. Anyways, that was my favorite. Wait, wait, no, that's not right. Nathan Hale from Resistance...

Rocky Guardian says, I thought Nathan Grayson was from Batman. No, that's Dick Grayson. That's Robin slash Nightwing. That I got off the air. So it was Nathan Hale from Resistance 1. Jennifer Hale, the voice actor. James Grayson from Resistance Retribution. Nathan Capelli, of course, from Resistance 3. Anyways. Retribution was my favorite Resistance because I'm a PSP sicko.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Then I would put Resistance 3 right behind it because I did really enjoy that story. I've never been one for the hoorah, we're the army, we're the military, we're going out and doing that kind of thing in a first-person shooter. So Resistance 3's story of literally like, I'm trying to have a nice life, but you've got to pick up your gun and go do this for your family.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
That worked for me in terms of a narrative. And I think, yeah, it was the prototypical PlayStation. What I'm dialing to in conversation about Resistance 4 is that I just feel like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
resistance in general i mean obviously being a launch title for the playstation 3 and hearing ted talk about that and how hard that was to get going even doubling back a little bit to when she was on her show i was talking about how hard it was for playstation 3 launch games resistance and kill zone and all that stuff while they have this lineage like i just don't think in a
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
the current market is whereas resistance resistance for would have been launching we needed a first person shooter that way and so many people look to those franchises to be the call of duty of playstation i just don't think you need that so then you get into a weird thing of what four would actually be and i know colin was always so adamant that we've never actually seen a chimera i don't remember the lore this well but they were all implanted in the ground right and then they they took over human bodies so these chimera aren't even the real chimera like blah blah blah blah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Going to the Chimera planet and killing them never did much for me. Now we're going from being too much like Call of Duty to being probably too much like Halo, bless.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Oh, no, this is pre-Spider-Man. No, no, this was, like, they were leading out of Resistance, post-Resistance 3, pre-Spider-Man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I have their timeline looked up, and this is me and Ted went through the entire timeline and talked about all of this. You see Resistance 3 happen in 2011, right? And then, yeah, they do, all for one, they do full frontal assault for Ratchet, right? But then they go on this, what I consider a walkabout, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Where it's like, they go and they do Aronauts for iOS, Fuse for PlayStation 3 and Xbox, right? Yeah. Ratchet for PS3, Sunset Overdrive for Xbox, Slowdown Bowl for Windows, Mac, and Linux. I don't even know what that was. Fruit Fusion, Bad Dinos, Digit and Dash for iOS, and then Ratchet and Clank for PlayStation 4, right? But then they're still in Song of the Deep, which means so much to me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Then they're doing Edge of Nowhere, The Unspoken. Like all this stuff before they come back to PlayStation and then become obviously a PlayStation studio, but come back to PlayStation in 2018. And I really feel some of that is the failure. No, I'm sorry. Not the failure, but the failure to get approval for Resistance 4.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
I think when you look at this lineup and PlayStation's like, we don't want a Resistance 4, they go, okay, well, we're putting that down and then what else do we want to try? And they try all this stuff where, of course, Fuse, they partner with EA and I think are treated pretty badly there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25
Sunset Overdrive partnered with Xbox for an Xbox One game and just doesn't get... It's a cult favorite, cult classic, but doesn't achieve those levels of whatever. For them to come back and then become the Spider-Man studio, become a PlayStation first party officially, I think that is the best thing. And I think...

I don't think, yeah, I mean, like, you know, we can point to a lot of issues why Resistance 3 didn't do as well as it should have. You know, remember they put, they fucking forced the move shit in there and they showed Kevin Butler with a move thing so people thought it was a move thing. This is a dope-ass trailer. I was gonna ask, like, what people's perception. Look out!

No, I mean, it's like anything else, who knows? Coming from the critical side of it and the IGN side, and again, the Greg Miller side, where I'm not a first-person shooter person at all, I really love Resistance 3. I really, really enjoyed that story. They did a great job, again, of, I think, being God of War and Last of Us before those games existed. And I know that, like,

I would sacrifice a lot for a new order game, but it was for sure, but it for sure is not what PlayStation should do. Now, first off, I was not, I'm well aware it did not perform. That's the long and short of Resistance 3 and the arguments about why or why it didn't. Was it a great game or not? I don't know. I'd have to leave that up to you.

Therefore, it's anticipated that GTA 6 will come to PC following its PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X slash S release this fall, even if that is yet to be confirmed.

Reports of PSN going offline started appearing in the early hours of Saturday morning, and Sony reported the issue had been resolved at nearly midnight. There's still no explanation for the PSN downtime, which left many players unable to access any online services, access their library of digital games, or pair new PlayStation 5 disk drives. It's like, okay. Access their library, of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PSN Died & Came Back: What Happened?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.10.25

He barely has the time to play games he wants to play. I don't think he's spending time, any free time doing that. I think me and Janet might have bullied him a little bit too much. No, no, no. Don't. It was the right amount. It was the right amount.

You know what the answer Nintendo has for that, Blaise? What's that? Game chat. You just, you know, hit up a chat with your friend and then they can stream to you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Because the big question for that has been parental controls, especially with Nintendo being the family console, right? It seems like there's a lot that you can play around with as a parent for your child's accounts. I think specifically when it comes to game chat. Fucking thank God.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Okay. Really quick, just to jump in here. A lot of opinions about the Switch console price last week. A lot of people not wanting to take in the grand world context for why the Switch originally, at least in the U.S., was going to be $450 to $500 if you wanted Mario Kart as well. And saying, no, it's all in a vacuum. It's all hubris. That I think we can kind of go back and forth and debate on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
This being... This having to be paid for at all is Nintendo hubris, a thousand percent.

Listen, I'm right there with you. And if there's more to the game that you feel like in your corporate capitalist mind should be worth money, then you need to show off what brought y'all to that. Even just a little bit. If you're saying there's more to what we've seen already.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25

And Gary, you say you're not a puzzle guy. I enjoy puzzles, but like the puzzles focused genre of video games, I don't really gravitate towards. And I really clicked with this one. I think the way it kind of onboards you and tells you kind of what to look for in its language of the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Drift, Leaks, & More News! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.07.25
Oh, there's definitely frustration. There's definitely, like... But I think the way it... Again, we'll save this for the Gamescast, but for you specifically, Gary, there's always something to pick apart if you've...

Yeah, from my understanding, it's certain places that are still being struck. There are some developers. It's mainly for the AAA space. There are some developers that have been exempt from the strike for certain reasons. It's not a lot of them. But, yeah, it's continuing. It's ongoing. I'm sure you read the thing. Sorry, I was working on tech stuff. Yeah. Again, it's a lot of AI protections.

Yeah, I recently went to the Computer History Museum because my grandfather was in town and he's a big dork bigger than any of us. And, you know, there's a section on AI. And I think going through like the eras of technology where so many AI bros recently have been like, oh, it's just like the next generation of things that we're going to be able to use to create art. It's like.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
Yeah, but the other iterations of technology, like computers and stuff, are just new canvases to perform art with, whereas AI is just taking the canvas away from the artist, which is just, again, when people try to argue for AI, it just shows me that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what making art is about.

I would say I was right, because, yes, for months, people were, like, pointing to the comments about, like, oh, we don't make comments about, you know, teams making publishing partnerships or whatever. And it's like, that just feels... too weird and specific. And it feels like insinuating something that you might not even know fully about. Right.

GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25

And so even PlayStation and Xbox going back and forth, I think as Xbox breaks away into this service model into showing you what Game Pass and cloud and game anywhere can be is far different than what PlayStation is doing. But PlayStation is also sitting there going like, oh, look at this library of first party we have that nobody's been able to touch no matter how hard they try.

This is another drama I've been beating for a long time, right, as this happens. Like, I don't think this is necessarily what Xbox was building towards, but... Apparently, you would think right now, if everything goes the way it looks like it's going to go with these tariffs, they've been building to this moment where it is going to be the idea of, alright, cool. Games cost more than ever.

well, cool, shit, I can't buy my games full price anymore, but I can every month pop in, not every month, when I need to pop in for an Xbox Game Pass subscription and play it on the TV, play it on the thing, even if you don't have an Xbox or if you have the Xbox, play it that way.

First off, see, I was driving towards that Barrett. Here's what you need to understand, Barrett. When the champ's talking, you don't fucking talk. All right? You open up the second tab and you look for smaller hats.

Anyways, when I won that, everybody cried foul because I did something that was within the rules. But it was still dirty. This is from the commissioner. The commissioner gave me stars in the bank. I don't know what you want me to do.

What was your take, and stick with me, it's not one-to-one, what was your take on Outriders? I liked it fine. Okay. Yeah. I didn't love it, didn't hate it. See, here's where I get weird with it in chat again. I played Gears of War both as a... Gears of War 1 and then I've touched them all and I think it's 2 or 3. I played Levi Buchanan in the middle of the night at IG. It doesn't matter. Um...

No, not yet. See, I think you're going to be in a similar boat there, where it's like... There's going to be a lot of nostalgia for it, and people are coming back to it, going, oh my god, I'm so excited to be there. And there'll be the new people who play it, like, oh my god, I've never gotten in, and this is cool.

There's... We know one, and we need one, right? And it's, all right, we know for all the rumors, smoke where there's fire, yada, yada, yada, fire where there's smoke. Fallout 3. Oh, yeah. Fallout 3 is happening, right? It has to be. I cannot wait. Again, Oblivion, I enjoyed. Check out the Gamescast review so far. We did it on Friday. Great conversation. Really fun, I thought, talking about that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
But again, a game I don't have nostalgia for. Fallout 3 I have on such a pedestal that when they are like, hey, we're doing a remaster of Fallout 3, a remake, whatever, a remaster, I will fucking lose it. And I imagine, like I said on the Oblivion thing, I have to imagine this is dropping when they drop season two of the show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
They learned their lesson last time around where it was like, okay, cool. All Fallout numbers spiked when we put out the Fallout TV show season one. Now let's put out a quote unquote brand new game, right? For Fallout season two. Have it go crazy there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
And that's why the one we know I think is happening is Fallout 3. Yeah. The one that needs to happen is Fallout New Vegas. Mm-hmm. which is obviously not the black sheep or anything, but it is, that was the one done by obsidian. So it's not Bethesda. So it's whatever, but I don't even think like, are we really, it would make more sense for season two to time out with new Vegas. I think as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Yeah. Now, if they were to say fucking, we're putting a both out like that could be, that'd be awesome. Can you imagine if like, we've all heard about fall three and it's true here, fall three, but alongside it is also there in one package, something crazy like that. Like, Oh, that'd be so good. As a guy who loves Fallout, I would love to see that happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
And a guy who, again, has never played all the way through New Vegas. I've started it multiple times. I always get thrown off by something and don't come back to it.

Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
What would be interesting for the Fallout New Vegas thing for you is if they were to do what they've done with Oblivion and just remaster it, would that solve the quality of life issues for you? Because it's not strictly a visual thing for you, right?

I didn't steal nothing from Tim. I won it fair and square by the rules of the game. I mean, that was by you giving me the stars in the bank. Yeah, you made that a possible blessing. Yeah, but it's still stealing. No. If it's part of the show, that's what it is. And now, for the next year, I get to be champion.

Piggybacking off of Fable, which I would agree 100%, I would of course jump to KOTOR, which again, I know we're going to be complicated, but when I think of an Xbox game that I want to see remastered, I know we're playing.

Greg, we're going to move on to story number two. Can I say one out there? Sorry. The other one. And I know I've beaten this drum a lot, and I will continue until Phil finally figures out how to make it happen. Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2.

Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
It's got to happen eventually. So, yeah. You know what I mean? I think you don't make Half-Life Alyx. No spoilers. If you're that dot, you probably know. Whatever. You don't make Half-Life Alyx and have it tie into the Half-Life timeline the way it did and not have some idea for what you're doing next and where you want to go. Valve's always been such an interesting company, right? Of just...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
They have ungodly amounts of money. They found so much success with Steam that why ever worry about making games again? They buy up video game developers just to have them never make the game they were making. Like, it's insane over there. Who knows? But no, it doesn't surprise me. It's going to be one of those, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
It doesn't surprise me, but it is shocking that it is still happening after so much time from Half-Life 2. Even from Alex, right? I was playing that in 2020. That's when I did the review during COVID with Danny and all that. Even now, five years removed from that, you're like, wow, this is still going and gestating or whatever. I wonder if it'll be able to live up to the hype.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I wonder what the hype actually is. Again, Alex was a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
No, but I mean, like, I think, again, when you look at the... Here's this giant pile of money Half-Life 3 made, but here's this giant fucking tomb, like, on the ecosystem, planet, world, universe that Steam makes. Like, I don't think there's anything that could make Valve go, shit, we need to make more games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Because, again, the other argument they would see from this, right, is like, look what unlimited money and unlimited time yields. It yields an amazing, great game. So go ahead and work on the next portal for another two decades. Who cares?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
You lose that je ne sais quoi of the McRib if you're putting it out every day. Exactly. You got to keep the allure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I mean, look at Grand Theft Auto, right? This is the same thing there where, you know, Jesus, remember when GTA was in, well, you know, you were a child, but remember when it was an annual release? You know what I mean? Like we were just getting a GTA back to back to back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
The AI was dumb in Alex. There was a lot of things where people were like, that game was walking on water. I was like, I don't agree, but okay. Mm-hmm. But I mean, so if you just took what was there and you put out, I think a lot of people, you know, Barrett's got, if you're an audio listener, he's got the open critic up. I think again, and I'm not doing this to be rude.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I think VR gets graded on a curve. Like we're having, now we've kind of started having two conversations where I'm talking about Half-Life Alex is a flat screen game versus I think, but what I really mean is if you want more people in to play Half-Life Alex, I think there'd be more criticism of it of like beyond, oh, look at the bottle.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
When I move it, I see the liquid and it goes side to side the way it should. Like that was one of the things of Alex, right? Yeah. And it was – and I had a great – you can go watch my review with Danny. I really enjoyed it, and it was, like, intuitive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
And I know that's always thrown around with VR, but it was, like, super intuitive of, like, loading my gun, grabbing the thing, doing this, like, in a way that VR games of a similar ilk aren't. But, like, in terms of what the AI was and this, that, and the other.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
To toss in a super chat from Anthony Adam, Valve stated that they would not make Half-Life 3 unless it was going to introduce something revolutionary. I think Valve has something in store. Yeah. And I hope so. I want revolutionary games. I want things to be amazing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
That would make sense, right, for what they're talking about. Jeff is close with Valve, so it would make sense that if they got something to show, they would show it there, and that would be, you talk about a megaton final, Jeff doing the thing where he's like, I'm so excited to announce this!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I mean, that's my thing, where Half-Life is Half-Life. It is in this conversation of any gigantic Xbox or PlayStation first party, and then, of course, the GTA conversation of, like, I think you can make a moment out of that whenever you want to make a moment out of that. It's just that Valve isn't the company that I think of having a blog or doing a direct, or, you know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
It's just not who they are. So it makes so much sense to use Jeff in one of these things. Help him, of course, you know, somebody you like and somebody you think is doing something right for the industry. And then also you just use that as the vehicle to get it out there and dominate. But yeah, I agree. It would definitely change the perception of SGF in a lot of ways. Oh, for sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Which maybe Jeff would want. Oh, a hundred percent. I think he does. Cause I mean like inevitably Jeff is on track that that's what SGF is. We all sit around and go, Oh, SGF is basically E3. But I think mainstream media in the mainstream world doesn't. Yeah. They don't understand it. And if they were to tune in and they look at the reports coming out, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Our SGF play days hands on are always double A games. You know what I mean? Third party publishers like they're not. We're not going there and playing. Hey, here's why I shouldn't say ever, but like we're not going there and playing this Sony first party exclusive that just got announced. We're not playing the next whatever from Xbox.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
You kind of are, but you understand I'm saying it's like these that you look at the past. Look at last year. SGF was dominated in terms of the big game by Assassin's Creed, Star Wars Outlaws last year. Those were the big Ubisoft off-site presentations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
There's behind closed doors, but I think of SGF, and maybe it's just from being boots on the ground, as you and me playing the new co-op escape room game, Escape Academy. Sonic was there that one year. That was a big deal. It's like that kind of... There's the day of the devs booth we love so much. I'm not talking about the presentation necessarily. Jeff has a big thing there, but even then...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I would say if you went and looked at the two-hour long SGF presentation from previous years versus Game Awards, Game Awards are going to have more bangers than the two-hour SGF presentation. But he's been trying with it, though. Oh, a thousand percent. He's building to being, oh, it's E3. He is building to it being USA Today. He's like, SGF's this week. It's a big deal.

According to Ars Technica, Valnet, quote, has earned something of a reputation over the years for exploitative work conditions, working conditions, and quick churn clickbait content.

Logan Jensen super chats and says, with outlets shutting down, many are turning to Patreon. How do you think that shift in the growing crowd affects creators like you? I only have so much money, dot, dot, dot, and you're getting Kansas cash. Well, Kansas cash, of course, isn't real money. Those are assorted rocks that people have tried to write things on, but they can't write.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Let's get to the real question. Okay. Yeah, I mean, more and more people come to Patreon, and time and time again, that's proven to be a good thing. Like, yes, people watching Kind of Funny Games Daily who are supporting us with a Kind of Funny membership, you only have so many dollars to go around, and we get that. Don't get us wrong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
But I would dial it way, way, way, way, way back, right, to when we did this, and Kind of Funny broke off, and it was great, and then Easy Allies, and Danny, and et cetera started starting Patreons, and there was that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
moment when somebody would announce it like oh it's so cool for you then I do the oh shit what does that mean for us like does that mean people are going to leave us they're going to go over there and that's never been the case instead it's only ever been the case it would seem that when someone new comes to the patreon or the crowdfunding platform now that is you know obviously patreon.com slash kind of funny youtube.com slash kind of funny games apple spotify twitch when someone comes to one of these platforms and brings a new audience it seems like we're more likely to see members of their audience if we cross over with them go oh these guys are cool too I want to support them yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I think you could toss in more creators. I would toss in tariffs. I would toss in cost of living. I would toss in COVID. There's all these things of, well, what is that going to do? These are wild wrenches to be throwing into a crowdfunding ecosystem we have. But so far, it hasn't looked like, for us, there's been a dip because of new people entering the pool, only a rising tide lifting all boats.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Very possible. That's the thing where I am talking from the kind of funny perspective. I would imagine if you're a smaller creator, you have a smaller community, you have that. I think there's always that bullish, oh, man, we just lost our jobs and we're starting this. Here's all this money for month one. And then we retreat to what my normal donation slash subscription will be from there on out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I think, yes. It's not that we can sit here and go, oh, well, that kind of funny success clearly can be extrapolated to every other creator because that's impossible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

But I can only speak to kind of funnies.

Yeah. Do you agree? Do you disagree? I mean, are you saying you're predicting the majority of them coming to it? Or are you saying what you've actually seen? I'm saying, I guess I'm predicting. Yeah. Like the majority of the people that come to.

Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I think it's too bold an assumption to assume that all the laid off people from Polygon are going to go start a Patreon and all the giant bomb people are going to go start a Patreon and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I'm also talking about the ones that are like the ones that are going to start a Patreon.

Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
It remains to be seen how many are going to go do that, though, right? And then again, I also think there's a wide delta between what it takes for a kind of funny with 11 people to be successful versus what it takes for one person. Janet Garcia, pen to pixels, what she needs to be as an independent creator making versus what we need to be making.

Oh, trust me. First off, a lot of them didn't believe me and they'll get their own. They'll get their comeuppance. It'll happen. Karma. You ever heard of it? But anyways, this one's mainly about people not telling me more about. We'll say this. We'll say this. People not correcting me when I'm wrong. All right. What'd you say? What'd you do?

Super sadly, yes. I think you're going to be dealt with, and I've seen this from our friends and colleagues who have lost their jobs or left, the conversation of, I don't want to do Patreon. I don't want to do independent content creation. Like this is fucking hard. This takes a lot out of you and you need to be, it's so much different than when we started as four guys in a spare bedroom, right?

Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25

When we look at our 11 person, small business and you're like, all right, well, What are we going to be able to push forward and what needs to be done?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Like this also having episode episodic content meant that there wasn't review code for this. Yeah. They were like, Oh, you'll have to wait for it to go live. So it's like, it just went live one day to no fanfare. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
It's one of those that I want to get to because I love Dontnod. I love Michelle. I loved my demo of it, but I just keep getting further and further away because I got to play this. Well, then I got to play this.

Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Wait, you said, what did you do? Update my Wikipedia. You know what I mean? I led Team Blue to a three-peat in Kind of Funny Game Showdown. All right, cool. Super simple. You have a personal Wikipedia? Of course. I didn't know that. I'm a big deal, Wes. Wow. I bet you didn't know that about me. Yeah, what does it say? They pick, like, the photo that they use on this one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
If you're also, yeah, if you know how to update Wikipedia, update my photo. Because the photo they use of me there, it looks like I'm hosting a Comic-Con panel, but it looks like someone just shouted a racial slur.

I tell you to go change it for this joke, and the joke gets taken out. The actual misinformation of my middle name being Meriwether is still in there.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
But we got the Lancer. You got the Chainsaw. We're all about it. Are you excited about this? Is this something that speaks to you? No. It doesn't not speak to me. It's just like I was never a Gears guy. It's a very cool move to have it jump over. I'm more of, and I see the chat was popping off with it too. Why isn't it also two and three?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
You know, at first glance, when we jumped in and we started talking about Gears of War Reloaded, I assumed it was going to be all three of them just bundled together. Like here it is, you know, the one definitive place to get it. Not that it's just Gears of War again, which is fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I'm not taking away from what Gears of War and the achievement it was and how great that was and how that really did change a lot of things for gaming. But an interesting one that it's not all of them. Granted, of course, you could sell the other two later on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Kabob says in the Super Chat, so is it a remake, a remaster? Is it a remake or a remaster of a remaster?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Because that's what I'm looking at with the second screenshot there, right? The first one is Gears of War. The second one is whatever they called the remaster of that. And then the one here now, Gears of War Reloaded.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
It's an update of a remaster. It says Duck in the chat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Today they started doing... They started tearing off... Are you going to talk about spoilers now? Well, I mean, no, no, no. Not that... Well, I mean, yes, but more importantly, their marketing campaign, they're tearing off the thing on the billboards.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Yeah. A hundred percent at a $40 price point. Not bad. You know, as we talk about games going up to 80, we talk about what we're doing right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
of course game pass including it and all that jazz like is it the right move yeah why not like get this to more people again xbox has been saying and i think walk you know what is the conversation walking the walk right they're they're saying the thing and walking the walk right of like you know gaming is better when it's everywhere and we want to be supportive of everything so the fact that it's launching on playstation the fact that it's got not only something we are just uh you know very wary about with borderlands 4 right cross uh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
cross-play, but also cross-progression, so you can take it to whatever platform you're on, apparently, with the Microsoft account. That's all great. This sounds like they're winning. I don't understand. Yeah, I saw some people mad about it. Even Wagerman here in the Super Chat says, it's the right move. Not sure why people are upset.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Are Xbox gamers missing out on anything? No. More sales mean more games like this. Excited. I think it's the usual amount of fanboy tribalism, right, where people are upset to see, oh my god, the exclusives are going to somewhere else, but...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Xbox is thinking so much larger, and again, I think it's winning as somebody right now who is choosing to play the majority of his third-party games on Xbox right now because I want him on Game Pass Ultimate with Rogue Ally and all that jazz.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
in doing the other thing that's the real thing that's the real thing so if you haven't seen Thunderbolts I don't know how I feel you gotta give me one more time nah it's cool I mean that's my game showdown I mean first off it did really well with the box off and now probably it'll do even better when people are like what the fuck's happening wow wow you got the belt over your shoulder I sure do you got the blue suit on which you do look great in thank you of course I am
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
but like you know i'll see 10 different one of those i'll see like a bunch of people being like oxbox doesn't know what they're doing they're shutting down the company all this shit right i mean again they but i'm not i'm not seeing that this time around and i yeah i don't i don't use twitter spaces thank you chat there you go uh and so i and i haven't even been to blue sky it's been more of the chat that i saw popping off and then conversations and then things here where i think it's just like again at this point you can't act like this is news right this is xbox being xbox this is what they do they want their games everywhere they want you playing them everywhere
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
It isn't about the box anymore to them. It is about you being in the ecosystem. And I think that's a brilliant move. And again, I can even argue myself not knowing what the announcement was, right? I saw the headline go through. I didn't hear the story until you read it, right? I thought, oh, they're bundling all the Gears of War and putting them everywhere. That's smart.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
And then my next one is, oh, it's just Gears of War 1. Okay. Again... a great move by Xbox. Hey, PlayStation people, play Gears of War Reloaded. It's fun. It's awesome. Here's Gears. It's what you've been missing. Guess what? If you liked this, you can go play all the other ones with Game Pass for $10 or whatever it is, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Go try those with your Xbox, which is now your TV, which is now your computer, which is now X, Y, and Z. Like, Get these out there as tasters. It's a very similar move to what PlayStation has been doing with all their games, right? Oh, we got a new God of War coming out. Put the first God of War or, you know, 2018 out on PC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
So those people play it and hopefully a percentage of them go, man, that was great. And I do want the other one right away. I'll buy a PlayStation 5 right now. This is even less of an investment, right? Because it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
cool stream them via the cloud put it onto your computer what you already have a gaming pc why aren't you doing this and using xbox game pass like this is all about getting you into the ecosystem however you can with xbox and i think it's a brilliant move as always to do this and have that stuff out there yeah i mean it's also like such a good layup to um here's war e day right like that coming out seemingly i would assume
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
next year now and again what a great yeah exactly right i thought again when i knew there's gears of wars in the conversation i thought oh it's something about the new game and then oh no it's not it's this yeah yeah what are we going to get from that again i think it's interesting you know last week we talked about xbox raising their prices right and it was what pretty much a month to the day which i guess isn't correct because we're talking about switch but a month and a few days to their big press conference right
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
So it is. They're clearing out. Here's the bad news. Here's news that's exciting, but we don't want to spend that much time on it. And again, maybe this gets Gears of War a good boost of energy, a good boost of goodwill, and then you go in there and you talk about E-Day during the Xbox Direct at SGF or SGF weekend.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
They've tapped out that way, but they're still making the hardware. They are still making hardware. There will still be a next generation Xbox. There is apparently going to be an Xbox handheld. That, again, is a different fight. They're fighting this war in a different way than PlayStation is. And so that's exciting and that's interesting. And again, I think it is going to work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
Will it work long enough? It's always, does Microsoft believe in this vision enough to hang in there and stick with them and let them lose money, quote unquote, do this thing, whatever. What are we going to do now with tariffs and a million other things? But... I've accepted that they're a third-party publisher.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
I just think they're also making hardware to play their stuff, and I think that's a pretty smart move. I look at somebody like Steam, and I look at the Steam Deck, and I'm like, well, yeah, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Gears of War: Reloaded Launches Summer, Even on PlayStation! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.05.25
strategy that is way different from what an ea does and way different from what an active or i guess activision this is the same thing you know you're talking to nintendo in there right and the fact that we haven't considered the call nintendo part of the console warren forever because when everybody went straight nintendo said i'm gonna take a right and i'm gonna go this way and it'll seem very odd why we're not doing this why we aren't competing the same way but then you get to where they are now like oh they're in a class of to themselves right

I mean, who knows how much the light's playing with it? You know what I mean? A lot of people want to look at this and see a white guy. Let's just call it down the line. You know what I mean? But I think the golden light can play off of skin differently. And I think, again, that'd be a good swerve. See, Vince Patel, isn't this dude white? I don't know. Is it? It's a silhouette, Vince.

No, I have not. Yeah. That dropped a late last week into this weekend. I know. And so I'm already sold on it. I saw you come to the realization that it's a management thing. That's the whole hook, right? Is that Aaron Paul's the character you're playing as he can't be a hero. So he's behind the desk dispatching the heroes to go out and do things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Ghost of Dreams in the Twitch chat said that it's been pointed out by the Kingdom Come Deliverance devs, or one of the director, I think he said, has already gone from over there, that no open world RPG has been made in Unreal Engine 5 yet, so... I guess that's why you'd want to be behind it and do it. Let alone the Witcher name. Awesome. I'm excited to see more.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
But to your question of how much are we actually getting, right? Yeah. They announced they'll be bringing a look at, quote, the innovative technology and features that will power the Witcher 4 and beyond. So I wonder, are we seeing systems? Are we seeing a little bit of a gameplay demo?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Are they solidly... That is officially in pre-production, I thought, right? Pre-production or is it in production? You're right, you're right, you're right.

But also, like, are we reading too much into it? The innovative technology and features that will power The Witcher 4 and beyond. So it's like, here's what we're using for it. It could just be facial animation tomorrow. It could just be one gray box combat thing they're doing as they run between things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Yeah. I don't think this counts so much as a marketing beat. Like, I think this is literally a marketing beat for Unreal. I think it's a marketing beat for what they're working with in terms of the briefing and the tech. But, like, this was a marketing beat, this trailer, right, dropping here. Coming out and doing...

James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Remember in their quote, quote, an independent development studio based in Tokyo, Japan. So this, we can already get ahead of it. Whatever they make will be up for independent game of the year. That can be indie game of the year because they said they're an independent development studio, even though they're owned by Krafton, whose revenue in 2024 was $1.9 billion.

Leadership's all gone or Glenn left. And then they made the roguelike with a completely different art style. It's like, again, we're to the point where, We've lost the plot that video games are hard to make. Every time you make a video game, you should be getting better at making a video game. Your team coalesces. They learn more. They understand the processes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
So to let them do that and then be like, they're not getting a Callisto Protocol 2. In the PS2, the PS1 days, even PS3, you usually see people come out with a 7 out of 10, a cult classic, whatever, and then get to iterate on it and hopefully make it better and make it more mainstream. Those days are done, and we keep having this same fucking reoccurring problem of, all right, cool, that's done.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Leadership leaves. They go make their own little, we're a double-A-sized studio that's going to make a quadruple-A game, and then the whole fucking thing repeats itself as nobody can get this done.

Let's keep it moving. We'll move on to story number four. Wizards of the Coast signs publishing agreement with Giant Skull. This is Rachel Kaiser over at VentureBeat. Maybe Kayser. I'm going to say Kayser. Wizards of the Coast announced today that it has reached a publishing agreement with the development studio Giant Skull.

James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
It will publish the studio's title currently in development, a single-player action-adventure game with an immersive story set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. While Giant Skull has not revealed any further details about the game thus far, it's currently in development for PC and console. Many of you might be saying, why do I care about Giant Skull? I've never heard of them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Stig Asmussen, Giant Skull's CEO, said in a statement, "...our talented and experienced team at Giant Skull is built on creativity and curiosity. Our goal is to craft a rich, new Dungeons & Dragons universe filled with immersive storytelling, heroic combat, and exhilarating traversal that players will fully embrace."
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Asmussen formerly worked on Star Wars Jedi and God of War series for Respawn and Sony Santa Monica, respectively. Stig, of course, a name that's been around a long time. He's put out lots of great games. So the fact that he is over there working on this gets me immediately excited, let alone D&D. Huge.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Yeah, and Baldur's Gate leaning so hard into that, right, was so great, just not the gameplay I wanted, where this sounds way more like if they can do immersive storytelling that way and give me that kind of gameplay, fuck it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Again, the universe, I think, is one thing. I think it's the mechanics of it as well that are so interesting in that ad-lib nature. And I think maybe that's why it's harder to make a game and why Baldur's Gate works is there's so many permutations. And it's the things we talked about in the Outer Worlds re-review, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Of just, like, coming into Outer Worlds and having that ability of, all right, you can kill anybody or team up this way. Or, like, okay, that's what makes this role-playing game feel fleshed out and real. And so there's so many video game RPGs, but how many are leading... and able to lean into that to really change the story and the narrative on a whim is different.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
James Bond Game '007 First Light' Reveal is COMING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 06.02.25
Yeah. Blessing. Stig making a new game in the D&D world is pretty gosh darn big, but I'm sick of all this big news. It's a big week. I need some small news. Where should I go?

And you jump to that moment and Shu coming out on stage and him being like, I've kind of become the face, you know, I forget what he says, a community manager or a face of PlayStation. And the first tweet they throw up and they showed on thing was me, Clements and Colin with him out at the bars or whatever and tweeting about it. You know what I mean? Like Shu is such a...

Cause it's, you want to talk like he's gone when he's not gone. And like one of the followups to his tweet, somebody asked like, are you staying in the industry? He's like, I'd like to. So it's not even a retirement.

PlayStation Veteran Shuhei Yoshida Steps Down - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.02.24
Like when Shu stepped down from Worldwide Studios and went to that indie team and was there with Greg Rice and Sean Benson, who you all know from the PlayStation showcases, I was very much like, oh, they're putting him on the shelf to retire him. Like this is going to be his thing where they put him over there and it's just... Because this is very much like...

PlayStation Veteran Shuhei Yoshida Steps Down - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.02.24
the little knowledge I know of the Japanese workplace culture. This is par for the course in many places, right? Of like, oh, you've done this thing for so long. We're going to put you over here, but it's just a position. You can do whatever you want.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Veteran Shuhei Yoshida Steps Down - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.02.24
So when they originally announced that and put him on that team, I was like, oh, this is just so he can continue to collect a paycheck, be a part of the PlayStation community for as long as he wants to. But I thought it would end with his retirement. But I also was incorrect, and I thought it would end with... Not even end. Just date with him, not being that involved. So I was very...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Veteran Shuhei Yoshida Steps Down - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.02.24
Taking it back isn't the right word, but surprised to see Shu engage with the role and really be out there championing the indies and being in meetings. Like, it wasn't one of those, like, oh, this is a ceremonial thing. It was. I would talk to indie devs who were like, Shu was in our meeting. It was so intimidating. You're like, oh, he's actually doing the job. He's actually doing the role.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Veteran Shuhei Yoshida Steps Down - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.02.24
And so, yeah, when I saw him doing that, I was like, oh, this is a real role. This isn't ceremonial like I thought it was going to be. But I still thought that 30-plus years, 31 years, that he would retire there. I thought that you would see it all the way through. And so, yeah, it's surprising on that end of like, oh, I thought she would be a company man and do this the entire way. And so...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Veteran Shuhei Yoshida Steps Down - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.02.24
There's excitement in that of what does that mean? You know what I mean? Shu has made a name for himself. Shu is well known for his acumen of what makes a good game and obviously being a producer and so on and so forth. What do you do with that when you leave PlayStation? Because we've seen plenty of people leave PlayStation, right? Adam Boyes, Gio Corsi.

I want to help someone make a game. I want to do that. Or is it going to be as simple as he ends up at an Xbox? He ends up at a

Ich hatte gestern eine PR-Frau, die mich gefragt hat, ob ich ein Code für dieses Spiel möchte. Und ich sagte, ja, kann ich es auf PC bekommen? Aber es ist auf dieser Plattform. Nein, nein, PC.

Denk daran, die andere Lösung dafür ist, dass der Publisher oder der Entwickler einen unifizierten Zugangspunkt hat. Als ich vor ein paar Monaten Assassin's Creed Syndicate angeschaut habe, habe ich es über sechs oder sieben verschiedene Geräte angeschaut.

Ich erinnere mich daran, dass du seit Jahren über die Unionierung von Spielstudios redest. Es wurde berühmt, dass es fast keine Unionierung gab, auch vor ein paar Jahren, vor allem in den USA.

Eine der Konsequenzen der 2020-Workplace-Reckonigungen, die in vielen Studios geschehen sind, besonders bei Activision und Blizzard, war die Erhöhung von Arbeitern, die sagten, wir müssen stärker zusammen sein. Eine Union ist die Antwort darauf, sich gegen die Managung zu drücken, um einander in verschiedenen Wegen zu schützen. Als man die Entwickler in diesen Unionen formte,

in late 2020 or maybe it was 2021. And so it's been a long time coming. The Zenimax Union was not officially, the QA Union, they didn't vote on a union until I think January of 2023.

So what happens is you have a group of workers, they vote to have a union, and then just a select number of people are sitting down at the table with the company, in this case Microsoft and ZeniMax, to try to hammer out a contract. And if they don't like the way the negotiations were going, then the heads of the union are going to be able to say, we're going to go on strike, the rest of the

Ich denke, wenn die Leute eine Ahnung von dem, was im Kontrakt ist und was die Union versichert hat, werden sie enttäuscht oder sagen, dass das nicht wert ist. Da gibt es einige vage Konturen.

Wenn alle Arbeiter unionisiert sind, wie wir das in vielen Industrien sehen, insbesondere in der Medienindustrie, Sie werden sagen, dass sie drei Leute auslösen können, weil die Union das beschleunigt, also schalten sie das ganze Ding ab.

Elden Ring war unkompromissbar, wie es von Software aus früheren Spielen war. Verzeih mich, wenn ich ignorant bin, von rapiden Kurskorrektions-Patchen, aber es ringt keine Glocke.

Elden Ring Nightreign ist raus und Spieler sind bereits auf dem Weg in die schwebenden Lands zu kämpfen, um den Nightlord zu kämpfen. Wenn sie sich ein wenig auf den originalen Elden Ring gewöhnt haben, könnten sie sich vielleicht ein wenig umgedreht fühlen durch einige Kontrollveränderungen.

Während die Kontrollen im Elden Ring Nightreign meistens gleich sind wie im originalen Elden Ring, haben sich einige Veränderungen gemacht, entweder um neue Fähigkeiten zu kombinieren oder einfach etwas umzuwandeln. Einige davon sind nur für neue Bewegungen oder geupdatete Versionen von alten Werkzeugen. Einer in particular, aber, scheint zumindest ein wenig Verwirrung zu verursachen, den Flask.

In From Software's Souls Games and Elden Ring, the flask is a mainstay of your kit, a refillable potion holder that acts as your main source of healing and combat. Usually the flask is one of several consumables and you'd cycle through them and use them mid-combat. In Elden Ring Night Rain, the flask is a static element.

Ich bin okay. Okay. We go to jazz and we'll get back to you in a second, Totello. I come to you today with some fresh news about Xbox's handheld plans. Previously I reported that Microsoft was working on a native Xbox handheld alongside an Xbox Series X successor, planned to launch somewhere around 2027. It now seems that Microsoft's priorities have shifted somewhat.

Just to emphasize here, this is not Xbox's Asus device, Canon, that is being pushed back. Oh, that is being pushed back. It's Microsoft's own internal Xbox handheld that has been shelved parentheses for now. I have a variety of code names for this unseen device, but it's unclear as of writing which exactly is the correct one.

At the moment, it seems there are three prototype devices in development for Microsoft's Gen 10 effort, with the handheld being parked for now. Indeed, Microsoft still wants to build its own Xbox handheld in the future, but Microsoft has decided to prioritize its teams to improve Windows 11 gaming performance, especially for devices like the Asus Partner device Project Canon.

It's possible that the existential threat from SteamOS, which on paper delivers better gaming performance than Windows 11 itself, has informed these decisions. Ja. Project Kennen ist der Code-Name für Microsofts Partner Xbox, handheld with Asus. Wir verstehen, dass Kennen noch später dieses Jahr einen Launch targetiert. Der Hardware-Bereich ist im Grunde fertig.

Devices like the Asus ROG Ally and the Lenovo Legion Go already run on regular Windows 11, and the Xbox layers and apps have gotten better. But there's still a lot of improvements that could be made. It is always unclear if Microsoft's handheld was designed to be a native Windows 11 PC gaming style handheld or a more native Xbox console style experience, but we potentially now have an answer.

It seems that it was indeed meant to be a device that could run full Xbox games, but Microsoft has decided to prioritize its teams on the partner opportunity around devices like Canon, at least for now. Steven, how could you not want an Xbox handheld? What are you talking about?

You look at that, and I gotta say, like, and I've said this for a while, in the turmoil and craziness that is Warner Brothers right now, and the fact that I don't believe any of them know what they're trying to do or doing, I wonder and worry about Rocksteady Studios. I know, oh, they're making a Batman game now. They're working on a single-player Batman game. That's all well and good.

You just came off of Suicide Squad, which... Quality aside, was planned to go on for quite some time, right? And instead, that got nipped shut goosh. So you're just starting on this Batman game, so we are... I mean, if we want to be like, oh, man, everything's all hunky-dory, you're five years away from having a Batman game for us to play?

Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
I don't see them looking at this where they can't make money off the other thing they're working on. The Batman game is so far out. I see them close that studio and either give Avalanche a shot at Batman or WB Montreal again or license, which is what, of course, WB games should be doing. That's what they should have been doing as a brand rather than buying these studios they clearly can't manage.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
Yeah, 100%. So just continued insanity at WB Games, and I just don't see it ending well, even though I hope for the best as a Superman fan. And that's the other thing. As I see WB continue to fail, I look to this James Gunn Superman film, and I say, just get it out. Just please release it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
That's my wish right now is that I get to see this movie, seeing as how all these other movies get stolen away, and I don't want WB to get sold, and for some weird-ass thing that I delete that, throw it away too. God damn. God damn. You need your Nathan Fillion, Guy Gardner. I got it. We look so good. Lantern TV show that one image they put out looks so good. That's what's going to be.

We're going to get all the way down this timeline and then we'll get Superman and then they'll sell the thing and then they'll do this thing and they'll cancel every night. That's the other thing. You know, the nightmare because I've lived this nightmare, Drucker, multiple times now.

This Superman film comes out and just underperforms and then they pull the plug on this goddamn DCU and it's like, oh, Jesus.

There's a chapter on IGN slash Up at Noon. It's very sweet. Thought you might like to look at it. The book is out in April. And then Nick immediately responded, I don't live in the past, and we've never talked about it again. So I don't know if Nick ever looked at the PDF, but, you know, probably not enough mentions of him. Plenty of mentions of me, which I appreciate.

Yeah. 80 years of content for these amazing stories and superheroes. Yeah. Why not? Just, we're making a kingdom come movie and we're making this movie and we're going to do this Batman movie. They aren't connected. They're out. They get awesome and big. All right, well, we're going to continue on in that. Now maybe they, this one's going to cross over, but it doesn't, or it does.

Luna, the cloud gaming service from Amazon that lets you stream to PC, Fire TV sticks, and more, is getting several electronic arts games, including Star Wars titles and sports games, added to its library soon. The first collection of games is available now to Luna Plus subscribers, including Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, and Dead Space.

Meanwhile, quote, more of EA's popular franchises, including some unnamed EA Sports games, will be releasing over the coming months. Luna, which launched in the U.S. in 2022, has reached multiple countries over the years, including Canada, Germany, and the U.K., but is yet to be available globally. However, Amazon has announced it will bring Luna to Sweden, Portugal, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
Have you ever used Luna?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
Luna. L-U-N-A. Luna. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
I get it. I get it. You know what I mean? What's interesting is I have used Luna quite a bit. I'm a big streaming proponent. I do love the idea of it. I think Xbox is killing it. I use xCloud all the time. I talk about that all the time. Luna is one of my favorites.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
Not favorites, because it's usually using games I don't need to... I already have, or older stuff, or blah, blah, blah, even as we read through these games. But I've always had a great experience with Luna.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
You know, full disclosure, obviously, we've done sponsored streams with them before, but I always joke around about the fact that when they drag me into the lab to play something on Xbox, I bring my Luna controller to plug it in, because I don't want to use those Elite controllers. But the idea of the Luna being the... It was the first controller, or maybe Stadia was, I forget.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
But the fact that it has the Wi-Fi built into it, so there isn't the latency of trying to talk to the thing, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I like that a lot. I've always had an easy time with Luna. And so even though I'm not actively using Luna, I like it. And I think as everybody tries to figure out what the fuck streaming is going to be, it's cool to see they're still in the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
So many people in the chat were like, oh, I thought this was canceled. Oh, I thought this was already gone. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Luna is still trucking along. I don't get it either because I don't know anyone who uses Luna. I don't know the big Luna gamer in my life out there, but apparently he's doing well enough. Or Amazon is.

Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
The opposite of Google, where they are invested in this, and they believe it's going to be the future, and it'll be profitable one day for them, unlike Google, who came out with Stadia with a half-baked idea and not nearly enough features, and were like, ah, we fucked up. Yeah. Do you ever use the cloud on anything?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
Yeah, I think what's interesting now is what, you know, I think Stadia missed. And right now where so many people are getting it with xCloud or with PlayStation, right? But it's the idea of Stadia wanted you to throw your consoles away and have it be Stadia. We are Stadia. This is your cloud-based console. Where I think Xbox's proposition is so great with it, right? Of like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
hey, when you're on the couch, when you're on the go, when you want to do something simple in your game, boot up your phone and do it that way. And if you're super into it, of course, come back to your Xbox Series X, put it on the giant TV, use your PC, use Xbox Game Pass PC. Like, I love the idea of it as an ecosystem rather than that. Because even me, you know,

You're on little news. I like little news. That was very good. Yeah, of course. We news number five from Eurogamer. Helldivers 2 has suddenly become unplayable for some PC gamers on older systems due to a new hard requirement not supported by aging CPUs. While the minimum PC specs on the Steam page have not changed, the game now requires AVX2 support to run thanks to recent optimizations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
However, many players have been running the game on systems without the AVX2 support and as a result are not locked out of the game. I'll level with you guys. I'm shocked that news this big is in Wii News. The headline...

Caleb says, at the risk of overanalyzing a 10-second video, them not using the Breath of the Wild-style logo and using the OG Famicom music could point more towards Ocarina of Time or A Link to the Past for this Zelda movie.

Maybe you didn't get the memo, everybody. But I have stars in the bank. And I am cashing it in on Wednesday during the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal event where I will ruin Tim's time with Nintendo and, of course, his life when I take his three stars. But can I get another star today and really have a banger of a week? You'll find out right after this. Or kind of a game show right after Gamescast.

Up at Noon changed the game for me. All right. That changed the game for who Greg Miller is and what people thought of him. It's all because you, of course, were the writer of Up at Noon. Mike, how are you? I'm doing very well. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Of course, after you left up at noon, your career went downhill. Yeah. You know what I mean? What did you do? The Tonight Show? Sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
We'll tell you about that later. For now, let's begin the show with what is and forever will be the Roper Report. Time for some news. Five items on the Roper Report. A baker's toaster! Number one, Naughty Dog has been working on an unannounced game for three years. It's claimed. This is Grant Taylor Hill at Insider Gaming.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
Naughty Dog was most recently in the news after Neil Druckmann kind of suggested there might not be another Last of Us game. He later expanded on those comments by stressing that he'll take each project as it comes and that right now the team is focused on delivering Intergalactic in all new IP. However, a recent claim from an insider might point to Naughty Dog working on something else in secret.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
Per a recent report, it seems Naughty Dog has a game in the works that has been taking shape for more than three years, and it's being led by Sean Eskai, who formerly directed Uncharted The Lost Legacy. The claim that Naughty Dog is working on an unannounced game that has been in development for three years comes from Daniel RPK.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
The report was posted to their Patreon and since shared more publicly in the game post. It reads, quote, Naughty Dog has a second project. Not The Last of Us Part 3, directed by Sean S. Guy. It's been in development for three years now. End quote. Drucker.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
Are you surprised that if this rumor is true, it's not last of us part three though. I guess maybe that's the thing we've all talked about, right? Of well, Neil comes out of the gate years ago and is like, well, me and Hallie have an idea, but it's more. And then he's like, well, it's just an outline. And then basically don't hold your breath for it. But we have intergalactic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
I would think many people would think you'd switch back to last of us there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
Mm. Sure, sure, sure. You know what I mean? Yeah, well, I remember... The Empire of the Masker and Bloodlines 2, right? And this is confusing. Yeah. But I remember...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
five it was still e3 so it's still when e3 was still around and it was in person so six whatever i don't even know a long time ago i remember previewing that behind closed doors and be like holy shit this could be awesome and then being like hey we're still a ways out and i was like oh so two years and now here we are at least five to six years later from what that was and this that the other and they just put a release date or said there's i know there's been news recently about it

Whatever. Tonight Show. Samantha Bee. Samantha Bee.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
This is, I'm right there with you. This is obviously not the biggest news of all time that Naughty Dog's working on another game, right? You know that's going to happen. We expect that. Pre-production's interesting. What's interesting to dive in is say, okay, well, it's Sean. And of course, Sean, I've known for a long time through Naughty Dog.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
Saw him at the Last of Us premiere on Monday, real quick, just a, hey, hello. Met his wife for the first time. But Sean had been at Naughty Dog, then he had gone over to Chris Dynamics, then he had come back to Naughty Dog, right? And so clearly, I'm on his LinkedIn, he's been there since April 2021, this time around, working on something you'd expect, helping projects out, doing that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Emmy-nominated writer is what it says here. I don't know. But after you left and you quit IGN, you were just dead to me. Until right now, where, of course, you have your own memoir coming out April 1st. Good game. No rematch. A life made of video games. Tell me all about it, Mike.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
It's more exciting to me, if the rumors are to be believed and if they are to be true, that Sean's in charge of this one, right? I think that's been the interesting... From the outside looking in at Naughty Dog, you see Neil going up that ladder, right? Becoming co-presidents with Evan over there to run the studio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
And then, of course, directing, writing Last of Us Seasons 1 and 2, being such a big part of that, you really wonder, okay, cool. Underneath him, obviously, there's Kurt and there's a bunch of other people who have been doing games over there and stuff. But how much of that is trickling down to other people working on other games and doing other things? And so...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
I love the idea that, you know, with Intergalactic, you're seeing new faces and new creators from the company talk about that and get out there. But also in the same breath, here's Sean hopefully working on something and hopefully not that far behind. I said pre-production, right? But who knows where we are in this three years of development and what this cycle would be and how fast you'd get it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
And I think, you know, Drucker, to look at PlayStation's lineup, the main thing people throw at it is where are all the exclusives? I'd love for them to come quicker. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
Well, I mean, that's always the push and pull of like how you how you do this. Right. Where if you were to announce that whatever Sean's working on is an Uncharted, it's not Nathan Drake. It is whatever similar, you know, Lost Legacy. Yeah, that's all well and good, but that gets in the way of Intergalactic, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
And so I really think back to Uncharted 3 that had, of course, the Last of Us Easter egg in the bar with the newspaper. And then when they dropped the Ant videos teasing that they were going to announce something, we were all like, oh, man, it can't be Naughty Dog. They just put out Uncharted 3.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
So I'd love to see Naughty Dog firing on all cylinders like that where Intergalactic is released, hopefully a great game. And then very shortly after, we hear immediately about Naughty Dog's next thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
You know, that's what they... They talked about that before, right? Where they tried to do Jack and they made it too realistic. And they're like, we just can't. This doesn't... No. In a current PlayStation lineup, this doesn't work. Drucker, talk to me as you are a creative and you work with so many creatives and, you know, you're writing all sorts of stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Unannounced Game in Development for 3 Years?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.28.25
what do you see in terms of, okay, we want to be able to create something, but we've made something so successful where it is something like the last of us. It is something like uncharted audiences want that, but you have a team that maybe doesn't want to touch that as a creative. What does that look like?

Today, in the nerdy news you need to know about, analysts say the Nintendo Switch 2 is going to crush console records. Sidney Sweeney is set to star in the new It Takes Two movie. And we got a double dose of layoffs. That's not a good one. But we'll have all this and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily.

You got the serfs out there. They don't have Wi-Fi.

Thank you so much. That was beautiful. I love that.
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 also, I mean, the... way Switch has become so mainstream.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
Where it really is the ubiquitous console, where, you know, even when we talk about console wars and Xbox, PlayStation, you never can count for Nintendo because they're winning their own race and they've got, you know, my friends back in Missouri have three boys and they all have their own Switch, right? Like, that's how it's got to be.

There's been a lot of great responses to my UK jokes over there, but Nick here gets the best. Nick says, UK here, traded my family donkey and a suede in for mine. No way. A suede. A singular suede. Of course, this is all well and good. I'm glad that, what's his name? Oh, Pelham Smithers of Pelham Smithers Associates believes this. But we only listen to one analyst. That's kind of funny, all 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 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.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
Yeah, my birthday's on Sunday, so yeah, today we had to celebrate.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
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
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
TLDR, the supply chain, logistics, and operations folks at the console manufacturers are the real people that make this happen and deserve love and props.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
So my question to you, Andy, becomes this. In Super Chat, of course, I want to know what you think of all this. Do you think they hit these numbers? Most likely. Have you pre-ordered? What's your pre-order story been since pre-order day? How many donkeys have you sold for yours in the UK? But my question for you, Andy, becomes 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
When do you think you're able to walk into a Target, because that's all we have out here, a Best Buy, no Walmarts, and buy a Switch off the shelf? A Switch 2 off the shelf?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
within within the the year within a year of launch you don't think i feel like when we start to go down out of okay cool outside of holiday season that's my thing yeah i think you have to get through i would think you're looking at and i don't know when people celebrate andy's birthday month of february and we'll be buying them up non-stop you know i think you got to get to 2026 yeah because i think by the time the launch hype dies down that's when the christmas hype
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
ramps up and I think now you have it where it's like what would have been you know nerds like us the kids that go to school with their Switch then they infect the kids there of like oh I need this for Christmas and then you get a whole new hype train going gosh I hope so I hope so too get the kids off of Fortnite man you know

I know there's another conversation we had with Matt Piscitello when he came in for our amazing games cast with him, and I mean dialed in, but how do you get the people who are playing Fortnite and Roblox and Minecraft, how do you get them to actually go outside of their comfort zone and play something else and then fall in love with games beyond that one thing?

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. I've accomplished what I want to accomplish for right now. You're going to uninstall. No, no, no.

Last night playing it, I was like, I'm in a great place with what I wanted from the Blossom Festival, what I want my gear to be, what I want. I don't need to be logging in.

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 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
Yeah, yeah.
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...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

You hope so, but it's also like, it's just so...
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 think we've talked about this in a million different ways but it's just also the economy of the attention economy where it is i can't like you know when ben sits down in the morning and he i'm like what do you want to watch like legitimately you remember when we it's before school and you'd wake up to have your cereal and watch tv it's whatever was on vr trappy vr troopers beetle borgs power i'm watching this old ass dennis the menace cartoon i don't like it but it's
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
on i gotta watch something god forbid i talk to somebody and now he has everything at the tip you know fingertips he can go get whatever he wants oh my god before church my parents would have a johnny canales and i'm like i don't want to watch johnny canales i'm an eight-year-old kid i don't want to watch this show and so it's such an interesting thing of like i wonder if that you know on-demand nature also that keeps away like ben you know there's been many a greg way question that i think i've only it's only infiltrated once or twice of like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
if i would you know before when ben was super small when i started him on like an nes and then bring him up to like modern games and then now it's been more like how do i pick what to show him and it's very much he picks based on his interests right like he sees sonic on tv and i'm like oh well sonic's a game and then we play a bunch of different sonic games and then that leads to mario games at least donkey kong because he thinks he picks based on characters and exactly it's ip and stuff like that right like when you're kind of walking down the you know they'll
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 am.
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 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
Switch 2 Will Be the Biggest Console Launch EVER?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.25.25
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.

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.

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.

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.

it's a big thing where it could be anywhere i think it's too big for a state of play for a first look at gameplay i assume right i mean we've had the teaser trailer before now i'm ready to see something from it i would think you hold off till you have a far grander stage for that or make it your own announcement the only reason no i take it back i would say the only reason i would see it happening here is because you want to do it at comic-con but if i want to do a comic-con i would still do sgf

But again, see, here's where you get into the whole trying to market a game where I think if Wolverine was going to be the big thing in its own state of play, I think Wolverine would be in the Yotei slot. And so since it's not in the Yotei slot, I think you have to not overshadow Yotei. Mm-hmm.

Report: PlayStation State of Play Coming in June - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.23.25
So I think you want to get through the Ghost of Yotei marketing cycle before you really lean into Wolverine. I think you can have SGF, and you can end with Wolverine, and it's a fucking trailer of Wolverine tearing people apart or whatever, and it says 2026, and we stop there, and then I don't think State of Play has anything for Wolverine in it.

And I think that's where it gets into the whole thing, too, where, like, we're talking about, like, well, state of play is less than, right? Like, they don't want to do...

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. See, Starfield's interesting, and I would say no. As we all have seen, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this one, Xbox is very cool with saying we're coming to PlayStation. PlayStation doesn't make that big of a deal about Xbox coming to PlayStation. So I would imagine if we're getting Starfield coming to PlayStation 5, which I still think

Very excited about that. I played ESO at launch a little bit on PC and then thought I'd come back for console and then life got too complicated. And I've touched it on console a few times since then, but when they did this... I stayed away from playing it because I wanted to be the noob, Mike be the expert, and go.

They put out a trailer yesterday that we watched on Gamescast that even though I know Starfield, ha ha, watch this to go, holy shit, I can't believe what people can create.

I mean, yeah. State of plays are exciting. I want to do this, but it's also like... It makes perfect sense to do one, right? It is the E3 time frame. It is SGF time. It is whatever. I'm sure PlayStation has something to say. It's more the... Is it going to be just a third-party showcase of other stuff that we've seen or whatever with another look at Yotei? You know what I mean?

I like that. I think, honestly, that's a great interpretation of reading the tea leaves and seeing something that used to be what we call Judge's Week. Do you remember ever hearing about this? Judges Week used to be something that Jeff set up before E3, and the idea was, hey, at E3, all the major publications are going to be too busy to see smaller games, so let's do an event in May for one week.

In terms of, like, we're doing this thing, or here's the big announcement from us alongside our partners or whatever.

Yeah. Maybe this is the beat, though, where you push it. Because it wasn't a thing of pushing it to changing the verbiage from being an open beta to playtests or something like that was what they were talking about. Maybe that's where you do it. There's a trailer that ends with public playtests begin July or whatever. Is Sony Bend anywhere close to having a game ready to show anybody? No.

Man, again, whenever I talk about how... early the pandemic was and how little that we were kind of we were prepped in a way more than a lot of other outlets but then you know i still look at that first review where me imran and nick and bless talked about doom eternal yeah and we did a video list review it was just a audio review only on on on youtube but yeah i played that game on xbox
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
So that's kind of where it all started of my PC journey, getting into always opening up the Steam things, looking at what's on sale. Now I get it. I finally started to understand what's up with these Steam sales and why do people all get excited about it? I get it now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
I think this is a super ideal version of what a sort of cross-platform thing is. I think most more recent Sony releases wish that they could kind of mirror this. Yeah. And I think early on, the discussions for me always were, if it's exclusive, if it's a timed exclusive on PlayStation only, or if it's a timed exclusive wherever the hell it may be, it comes to PC a year later,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
wow, what a great opportunity for them to remarket this game. What a great opportunity to have another kind of blowout online and say, it's coming to PC, everybody. Sure, another marketing beat. Yeah, kind of have like another release, essentially, because it really is, it's almost like a movie releasing in a different country. It's like, oh, now it's popping up over here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
We're going to have another big boom of sales, right? But I think the more and more that we get that we fall deeper in this games as a service hole where people are just kind of where they are. They are in their Fortnite games. They are in whatever games that they spend their time with and spend time with friends in. That those initial sales numbers...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
it's rarer for them to be impressive to executives. It's rarer for those initial sales to be like, holy shit, what a big W for us. We're only on PlayStation, and we're going to have another big W whenever it releases on PC. I think...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
if you just looked at those numbers from any other standpoint, other than where we're at in this hell hole of more, more, more, more, more, no money, no dollar amount is enough. Marvel rivals has 40 active, 40 million active players, but we're still going to lay off. Um, I think if we are in any other era, those numbers are still impressive to them on console. And then they have a PC release.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
So I'm of two minds on this. I could see this going both ways. I could see, uh, a possibility where they say, well, let's just keep on doing this dual release thing. But on the flip side, it's like, well, are you taking too much of a risk there?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Because I think so much of what happens in the industry and with social media and the way everything spreads on Twitter or on TikTok or Instagram or whatever, people inevitably have that FOMO. And people will see that big-ass game came out on PlayStation and Xbox and...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
it's breaking all these records on steam holy shit i need to get it right so it's kind of like do you want to risk having that second release day that you know may or may not you know have massive amounts of success or do you just want to have this one big gigantic release don't you want a moment yeah moment where everyone is playing and you're talking about like helldivers is a
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Well, what's weird is, like, it didn't used to be that way, though. I think with those initial... I'm blanking on what even the first ones were. Maybe it was... Uncharted?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Yeah, I guess I enjoyed the most about it was that it was just, it was numbers, it was stats, it was facts. There wasn't really a whole lot of
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Yeah, PlayStation having their big PC sort of crossover games and starting to see that more and more and for them to be more and more likely, but also for that window to get shorter and shorter. Horizon Days Gone. I know Ratchet and Clank had their moment as well. And... I think early on, those moments felt a lot larger.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
And maybe it's just because it's, wow, it's Sony stepping out of their boundaries. I 100% think it was that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Yeah, it does feel like they are getting less and less... they're becoming less and less exciting. And I do think that that's because of just timing. I think you have to capture that moment. I think you have to... I would not be surprised if we saw Sony starting to make those calls.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Yeah. It's a very weird... Like, I'm totally with you that I think third parties will continue to do this more and more. This just feels like the only way to have... a win to present to the God Emperor CEOs and shareholders and say, like, look at how successful this is and you should trust us for upcoming projects as well. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Because if you're not having that big initial win, it really discourages people. I think, obviously, with it doing as well as it is now, especially with this bundle pack on PC, like, all of that stuff is fantastic news. Yeah. And a sign that... the consumerist sort of train of thought on PC is maybe a bit healthier than I thought it would be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
And that's why early on when we're talking about how much I loved Prince of Persia, Lost Crown, and it's like, again, it may not have sold a boatload of copies on PC, but there's a healthy amount of people, like Matt Piscitella talking about you on the podcast, or talking on the podcast with you about...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
the age groups and certain people with, you know, maybe without kids that have disposable income, there's such a market for people out there that scroll Steam and go, oh, I always wanted to give that a shot. Let me buy it. We talk all the time about people's unplayed Steam libraries. That's because people are buying games and people are still buying games on Steam.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
And I think it would just be a really dumb decision to not continue to do these multi-platform releases, even if you're not doing it on Xbox as well, maybe like, I think PC has to be a must, especially because the PC market is booming more and more than we've seen in the past.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Oh, I thought it was a cat or something. I had originally bought that Framework laptop thinking, yeah, it'll probably be good for basic-ass games. I'm not trying to run anything wild on it, but it wasn't even... really prepped for basic-ass games.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
What I also think that these numbers are showing is that there are more and more people since that game came out that are either getting back into gaming or, you know, because we hear it all the time. And I'm always still impressed by it of people going, I started listening to y'all in 2022 or 2023, 2024. It's like, oh, shit, really? That's pretty recent.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
I would hope so. I think there were like 15 million or was it 25? They had a number that was really shocking to me, especially when you consider... 20 million units as of October 2024. Especially when you consider... that you could just buy one game and play with a friend somewhere else, which is incredible.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
I'd push it up to like a 7.5 now. Nice, okay. By the end of the journey, it'll be an 8. At least it'll be a 7.5. A good game. But also, maybe if I switch to Magic Spells, watching Nick play it yesterday with the Magic Spells, I was like, oh man, this is a really cool class.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Yeah, I don't know if it was even something I was expecting, knowing that this was always meant to be a more truncated, smaller kind of fantasy RPG. I knew it wasn't going to be this long, massive, gigantic world that you can simulate a fantasy life. I don't think that's what they were ever going for. And so I was never really surprised by that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
It was an Nvidia sponsored stream showing off the visuals because that game looks really, really damn good. But then he was like, oh, whatever. I'll just play it again next week. I think it's a fun game. Again, I never had an issue with not having any romanceable options in this game. And I don't even think that that's necessarily something that I need from a whole lot of RPGs.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
a lot of the upside of PC gaming is that man, you know, with emulation and lots of other means of, you know, you could play a lot of games that aren't available for sale anymore, which is always a nice thing, especially when these games are taken off the market and delisted or copyright, you know, issues with music, soundtracks. Oh, there's a lot of ways to play these games still.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25
Uh, yeah, it certainly sucks a lot to not be able to play older games in life. It doesn't personally affect me because I don't do that. Um, But you also sort of have to think about not being able to play a Super Nintendo game if you don't have a Super Nintendo. That stuff sort of makes sense to me, but we're talking about older games that still should work on PC.

I'm probably not the best to talk about this hardware-wise because it is more of a recent thing for me, but yeah, it definitely sucks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth’s REDEMPTION! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.21.25

Yeah, I think it's one of those type of deals where it kind of passed us by because of whatever the timing, maybe because I previewed it and we were like, but as we were discussing what the game plan was, it's like, well, can we really do what you've been playing when it's really a lot of redacted games?

Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
Currently my number one, and I think it's going to be a similar situation to when Final Fantasy VII Remake won for us, where I think it's going to be enough people's number one, number two, number three, that the shakeups of one and two, you having Prince number one, right, even though it won't be on anybody's list, is taking the ten points that could have gone to a metaphor away, right?

Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
And so then it's death by a thousand cuts or whatever, where I think Astro Bot's going to be... I don't think that's the best year to use that example.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
I would say top three, but maybe top five. And I think Metaphor will be in a lot of people's ones and twos. No, I'm sorry. A few people's ones and twos. And then either way down people's lists or not on the list at all. And I think that's what will do it in. And I think that's why Astro Bot will run away. But then Final Fantasy has a lot of people who love it here, too. Yeah, but not enough.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

But, you know, whenever people like, oh, man, it wasn't a great year for PlayStation. Not a great year for own a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox or whatever.

It says game of the year this year is the 4 out of 10 IGN gave Ghostbusters. Now, Joker Man, you're just here to make me upset, but it is a good point. Bringing that up means we can't trust IGN's game of the year. So we really shouldn't have even read this metaphor thing because they don't know what they're talking about. Really, it's their entertainment division, right?

The news comes mere hours before Sonic the Hedgehog 3 releases in theaters on Friday, December 19th. The movie once again stars Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Colleen O'Shaughnessy, and Idris Elba as his friends Tails and Knuckles, with Jim Carrey returning as their nemesis, Dr. Evo Robotnik.

Sonic 3 will also feature the arrival of Keanu Reeves playing Sonic's on-again, off-again, enemy-turned-friend Shadow the Hedgehog. With Sonic 3 anticipating tidy profits as North America prepares for the Christmas-slash-New Year's movie-going season, developing a fourth movie makes sense. There are several rogue characters from the Sonic universe aiming for their silver screen debut.

Now a Reddit user claiming to have seen a final retail unit of the machine has said the next Nintendo Switch console will be named Nintendo Switch 2.

This is due to new Joy-Cons reportedly including magnetic Hall Effect Joysticks, which don't contain the same deteriorating sensor material that has caused millions of original Joy-Cons to malfunction.

The Nintendo Switch 2 will reportedly include a dock featuring two USB-A and one HDMI, one Ethernet, and one USB-C. The USB-C port is almost certainly used for power like the original Nintendo Switch models.

See you on kind of funny day to talk about that and figure out what that's all about. But other outlets, of course, have been posting it. So let's run through it. IGN's game of the year is... Metaphor Refantasio. For years, Atlus' cult RPG Persona went from being a cool underground RPG series from Japan to one of the biggest franchises in modern gaming.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
But with Metaphor Refantasio, it's clear that the developers behind Persona were seeking to push themselves to new heights. Trading in the modern-day Japanese high school setting for a pure fantasy world full of long-eared knights and bat-like ninjas, Atlus' Studio Zero has created an incredible and timely meditation on political strife and demagoguery. Yep. Game spots. Game of the year is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
Metaphor Refantasio. Regardless of when Metaphor Refantasio was released, it would remain an exceptional title. But in the year 2024, a year marred by political unrest, growing inequality, fear, distrust, misinformation, and division, no game feels quite as apt and essential.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
While not every work of fiction can change the world or instill within it a goodness that has seemingly been stripped away, Metaphor Refantasio is a reminder that art can change us. Damn. Nailed it. That should be one quick thing to point out about GameSpot's Game of the Year right now. There should be an asterisk next to it. They have not reviewed Marvel Rivals yet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
So I just, again, if you're reviewing Marvel Rivals, stay in line. All right? We need those fantasy critic points, everybody. All right? It's never too late if you are a top critic on Open Critic to file a Marvel Rivals review. I'm just saying as an unbiased journalist. VGC's Game of the Year is Astro Bot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
Even without its many excellent video game cameos and PlayStation's references, Astro Bot would still be our favorite game of the year. The quality of Team Asobi's endless charming platformer means that even were it not for the decades of love for Sony's console poured into every crack, the game would still be an endlessly creative marvel.

However, what they did after I moved on and with Herman, I'm sorry, when Herman took over, is that they added a lot more resources. I don't think they told him to stop making the single player games. They said, oh yeah, these games are great, continue doing that and we give you additional resources to work on these live service games and try it.

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
I'm sure they knew it was risky and that the chance of a successful game in this hugely competitive genre would be small. However, the company knowing that risk gave Herman the resources and the chance to try it. I think that's the way they did it. So in my mind I was, oh wow, that's great and hopefully some games will become successful. Luckily Helldivers 2 did so. No one would have expected it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
You cannot plan a success in this industry. That's the most fun part. I thought if I was in the position of Herman, I wouldn't have tried to resist. I would have tried to resist this direction. Maybe that's one of the reasons they removed me. Hahaha. I think there's a lot. I mean, she was joking to a degree, but he is talking about the dollar sense and how PlayStation makes decisions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
And I do think that there's a lot of truth in there. And so now you're left, though, with this reckoning, where... I love Shushu, he's amazing, don't get me wrong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
And I do think what he's talking about, especially when we talk about them making remakes and doing these things of like, that's not taking resources, that's actually making money so they can go make the games you want and try new things, right? I agree that live service push for PlayStation doesn't mean you're not getting games from people. But it does mean that Sony Bend did Days Gone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

It was met with a middling critical reception, a huge fan reception. And rather than giving them another chance to get that really, really right, a single player game, they were stopped there. There's all this hullabaloo and off the record, behind closed doors, stories you've heard of...

Uncharted, we want to do our own thing, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, to end up doing this live service game that is now cancelled again. And you look there and the article I know says, and Jason has quotes from them like, we're not closing these studios. I don't think you ever play another game from Sony Bend. I think Sony Bend is closed before they get another game out.

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
I think right now, best intentions, best laid plans, they're not actually like cutting them off tomorrow. But I think to get up and running on whatever the next project is, to get over the hump, to do the next thing, like, Unless they're, you know, we're going back to Siphon Filter, even though those people from Sony Bend probably aren't even there anymore, right?

Not already having an outline, already having something to work off, having something to go off of. If I'm Herman right now, and I'm in the PlayStation boardroom, and we're seeing this all fall away, and I do want to point one thing out.

And everybody hypes themselves up with an idea, gets it, presents it, it goes. It's still not

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
I can totally see people getting hyped up on that. And again... I think there's a conversation with us as gamers of live service, games as a service, being such a derogatory term. I think you look at the success of Helldivers, you see it can work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Again, as I've said, even though they have not proven me right in some regards, I do think that when Jim Ryan was like, we have 12 live service games coming up, I really don't think they're all... This is the thing. It's a hero shooter. It's a battle pass. I think there's elements of live service being put in these games.

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
So I would be interested to see what Ben was working on, how live service he was, yada, yada, yada. But yeah, you hear the cry from on top of this is what we want. And you get a bunch of chefs in the room and they're like, let's fucking cook.

According to Epillion, both PC and console gaming are, as you would have noticed, considerably bigger concerns than they were at the turn of the 2010s. In 2024, consumers were spending almost $50 billion more on PC and console games than they were in 2011.

While console has stagnated since 2021, PC Gaming revenue has grown 20%.

Yeah, I think it might be, you can correct me if I'm wrong, did you have full access to the article or just the opening part of it or whatever? Jason Schreier's Blue Sky about it said, fans have long wondered what Bluepoint was working on for the last couple of years. I can report it was a live service God of War game.

PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
Yeah. I think I've seen, maybe it was Jeff Grubb, there's a whole bunch of our peers and industry pundits out there as soon as this happened yesterday talking about it and how it's easy to look at PlayStation and attack them and say how stupid this is and how dumb Jim Ryan was and yada, yada, yada.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Cancels Unannounced Bluepoint God of War - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.17.25
But the fact that it's an industry-wide problem, that you are seeing so many projects like these be cancelled or put out and fail and yada, yada, yada, let alone that for Jim Ryan there was a whole bunch of people on PlayStation who must have bought into it to be there. It was clearly the wrong choice. I think again that...

If you were to talk to most gamers, even five years ago, seven years ago, when the seeds started to get planted for this, most PlayStation gamers would have told you, no, don't do this. This isn't what we want. We would never want this many live service games. But there is that trend. We are an industry that chases trends. You do see the success of Fortnite.

I'm like, alright, but when do you know when it's time to cancel them or push through, right? And then there was the conversation with him about...

his reign as the head of sony worldwide studios and then leaving that role right jim ryan and everybody else all right we want you to go to this indie thing we want to go in a different direction and herman and that team and jim ryan being bullish on live service and she being like i think one of the reasons i probably maybe one of the reasons he says that they asked for him to switch over was he wasn't part of that he wouldn't have done this this wasn't what he was known for right and uh yeah wccf tech uh allison uh oh

When asked if the new business strategy made sense to him, Yoshida replied that the resources were additive rather than replacing investments in single player. However, he also admitted he might have resisted the change in direction and jokingly added that might have been why he was replaced.

Quote, I was managing this annual budget and was responsible to allocate resources to what kind of games to make. If the company was considering that way, it probably wouldn't have made sense to stop making another God of War or whatever, like a great single player game and put all that money into these live service games.

And I would love to see more of those. We got a lot more Super Chats coming in. I want to bring in... Oh, actually, no. I want to answer the other part of it because they also asked about Jade Raymond's track record. And that's the thing that I think is tough when it comes to video game directors is like... you're part of a team.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
And so when it comes to what makes a project great at the end of the day, like, the director has a gigantic part in it, right? But, like, I don't know. I think the Jade Raymond conversation is tough when so many of her games haven't seen the light of day, both for the circumstances of, like, well, you worked for Google Stadia. Google Stadia went down. What are you supposed to do there?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
yeah and that's more so the point of like what are the reasons why the projects didn't see the light of day i don't maybe jade raymond knew that her project at stadia wasn't going to see the light of day or maybe she knew there was a chance that that was going to happen right but like the reality is that yeah like stadia there's a bunch of stadia projects that we just didn't see or that got like bought and turned into like other things i think the quarry was one of those yep
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
that ended up as an actual game that came out outside of stadia. But then I look through, I have the Wikipedia open for like, for Jade Raven projects. Right. And like, you know, she's mainly known for executive producing multiple Assassin's Creed games during that Assassin's Creed, uh, two era. Right. So she did, she was a producer on the original executive produced two and bloodline.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
She did, um, splinter cell blacklist. She did watchdogs. And then she'd managed, uh, directed, uh, Assassin's Creed unity, far cry four. Um, I don't know. Uh, I think Jade Raymond is one of those ones that I don't look at necessarily like a Kojima or even honestly like an Amy Hennig.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Like I don't really put them in the same conversation aside from the fact that a lot of their projects have gotten canceled. I think Jade Raymond for me is just a name I hear because she's happened to have like directed like, stuff that was popular at Ubisoft in an era. But like, I'm not, when she got pulled into PlayStation for this, I wasn't like, Oh snap, a new Jade Raymond game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Yeah, but I guess my thing is, does the general audience talk about her like that now?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
And that's... See, but my thing is I don't know... I don't think there's expectations for, like, a Jade Raymond thing, right? Like, for me, I don't view Jade Raymond as, like, an auteur or, like, somebody who is, like, oh, Jade Raymond. I just view Jade Raymond as, like, another person in the industry who directs games, right? And I think that's perfectly fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I'm not even trying to take anything away from Jade Raymond. It's more the sense of, like, cool, like, you have a... a past working on cool games. But, like, I think maybe we know the name because she's been on stage, like, for those times during those games. But I think it's different when I think of, like, the big-name directors that I'm looking forward to the next thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
And Amy Hennig, honestly, I am looking forward to Marvel 1943 to see if, like, she can give me back that Uncharted feel from back in the day. Absolutely, yeah. I don't have, like, I'm not looking for... You're not an Assassin's Creed guy like that, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
And this could be me asking chat or me asking the audience, right? If you are an Assassin's Creed person, are you following Jade Raymond wherever she goes?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
And I think to ultimately answer my point with Sam Sinell's question, right, of Jade Raymond's track record got to be not great by now, right? My thing is, I'm like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
i don't really care about jade raymond's track record to that extent and as far as it not being great i think that's true for a lot of people in the industry like especially currently when you're talking about projects getting canceled over and over again and what video games are and how long they take to make right like i have friends that work in the industry where if i look at their resume it's like cancel thing cancel thing cancel thing but they've been working for the last decade it's just the fact that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
oftentimes many times in video games things get canceled things don't don't come to fruition and i think jade raymond just has happens to be a name that we see attached to quite a few things because she has a higher up position um but i don't look at this and go damn jade jade's fucking up or anything like that i just go man another one bites the dust as far as i i'm more so honestly blame the live service strategy that playstation is trying to push and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
maybe a bad curation on what those games should be like if i'm at playstation and i see what uh fair games is and i read it on paper and i like decide to acquire them as a studio i think hopefully there's a backup as far as like okay you're gonna make this but you're also gonna do xyz thing because if it's just the fair games heist multiplayer thing i think that's a really bad decision

Bungie has also been accused of using other creators' Destiny 2 fan art for references and cutscenes without permission.

ps5 might be at the bottom ps5 and ps3 are competing for that bottom spot right because for me number one ps2 followed by ps4 i guess in ps1 and the rest are like bottom three fighting it out but like i don't look at them as comparable as much and again it's we're all bringing different things to this but i feel like ranking them i would have to put ps4 on top because i think that it's playstation studios rise

ShiftUp responded to confirm that the PC version does not require a PSN account and appeared surprised in the replies at the game's unavailability. Checking SteamDB, it appears that Stellar Blade has been restricted in over 120 countries. Most of these are where Sony's PSN is unavailable. So seemingly there's an error here.

Volk Dasher writes in and says, I know we hate PlayStation for live service, but look at the revenue they make without live service. All they need is one or two live service games to hit and all the loss becomes a profit. Maybe Jason Blundell.

Fair Games has dropped the dollar sign, everybody. It's now just a regular S.

If I'm a betting man, I would say no. Really? No. They lost Jade Raymond. Yeah, no. Like, Jade Raymond founded the studio. This game exists because of Jade Raymond. If Jade Raymond's out, then, like... And this game is a year away.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Do I think this game is actually a year away?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Yeah. So, internally, they're talking about next spring. Does that even happen? Who knows? Probably gets delayed further. I think if we're that far out from it... PlayStation, I think it'd be different if Concord didn't happen. If Concord didn't happen, I could see PlayStation being like, oh, we're close enough and we have a team, like, see it through.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
If this game, if this is happening weeks after the external playtests and they're like, oh, we got to get rid of Jade Raymond, this thing from the top down is not looking good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
get rid of it like cancel it like no this is i don't think this is gonna i don't think this is gonna happen i go back to the playstation blog where when they first announced fair games they talked about what it was and like i think one of the core issues is that the pitch of fair games i don't think excites us right it's a competitive heist game coming to ps5 pc i'm trying to get deeper into it where they talk about the pvpve aspect of it right
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Wait, you're telling me that PlayStation's multiplayer online live service strategy is off the rails?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Fair Games came from the desire to create a new type of PvP game with emergent sandbox gameplay. We want to deliver a fresh multiplayer experience that rewards creativity and mastery and delivers surprising stories each and every time you play. I read that, and I go, what does any of that mean? You sound like every multiplayer game in existence, right? Um...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
and they go on talking about talking a bit more about it right but like i don't know even aesthetically i look at fair games and i see so many games that kind of give me that same vibe right and like so many games that seem like they're doing it maybe even slightly more competently i look at something like the finals and the finals kind of came and went a little bit but at the very least it seemed like there was a spark in finals that was connecting people i just don't
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
As of now, I just don't see anything about Fair Games that is connecting as far as, like, the marketing of it, the word of mouth of it, like, how it fits into the PlayStation ecosystem. Jade Raymond leaving for me is like the, oh, then... This has nothing. It really is an uphill battle for y'all to get me on the side.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
You're telling me that they're having some bumps in the road?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
But the reason why I bring up Concord happening is specifically how badly Concord performed, right? Like, Concord was at the point where it's like, oh, just put it out at that point, right? Like, you're that far with it. People might, the word of mouth, the pre-orders, all that stuff aren't looking great, but you're there, so just put it out. And they took it offline in two weeks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
unbelievable honestly one of the most unbelievable stories in video game history like one day we're gonna understand the amount of money that was lost with the launch of concord yeah and i don't think i i think they'd rather cut something this far out than to have another concord yeah and that's my thing is like again i i just want to see if that happens like i don't know that they have the
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I guess I could see the conversation being if they weren't thinking free to play, like maybe it is a free to play game, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
I, I, my worry with fair game so far, and you have like a lot of room for marketing and advertising left, right? Like if this thing is at least a year away to get people on your side, I worry that there's not going to be any fans of this game going into it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
And so you've got to do whatever you can to get a player base, and I think that has to be either free-to-play, that has to be putting this game on PS Plus so that any people that are part of that service can jump into it.

I want to bring in some super chats. Samson L. writes in and says, Jade Raymond's track record got to be not great by now, right? Also, Fair Games sounds like an extraction shooter, and they got Marathon coming. Again, for that second half, That's why I'm like, you guys have so much marketing and convincing to do as far as selling people on what fair games is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Because when I read it on paper, I think about so many other games that are out right now that I would probably rather play. You've got to really show why this thing is special and why it sticks out in the pack.

To add to that, I also think they know that it's not working.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation's Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Started - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.16.25
Just think about how long we've known about marathon fair games, like all these things, Concord, and think about how long it's been since they've announced another one of those.

Helldivers, as far as PlayStation's jump into, we want to make these 10 live service things, 12, the number changes, right? We want to invest this much into the live service things. I don't want to take it away from PlayStation that Helldivers 2 is unequivocally a success. That is a huge success. Was that a part of this conversation, though?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

One of the things just went on sale. Yeah, but let's talk about a normal day, all right? Yeah, for Target, it's $599. I'm sorry, $499. $500 for a PlayStation, and I'm not even diving into what it is. Best Buy is $499. So across the board, it looks like it's $500. Yeah. And so for me... It's $450, and then on sale right now for $380. Okay. Why is Target... Oh, it's because it's Black Friday stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Let's just, for the sake of argument, stick with $499, because I'm just... Joe Blow Gamer. I'm buying my son one. I don't know any of my game. And I look here and it's okay. Target selling for $4.99. I think that everybody, of course not. But I do think there's a good amount of people who would look at it and go... Wait, why is this one $200 more?

Can you justify it based on there's a Dragon Age patch and there's a patch for Final Fantasy? Fuck no. But in a year when it is that, all right, cool.

Everything that's dropping, it has this mode and every reviewer is talking about how great Ghost of Yotai looks at, you know, 4K 60 frames. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
This is the usual argument, right, where you see the stuff that's in the tiered structure where the thing that's a little bit less money, or just less money, right, is... so close, like you're already putting down $500. And I don't know about you, but like for me, when I start thinking about big purchases, right, there's like that $100. Like, okay, $100 is something for sure, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Then if you're going up to $500, I feel like the gap between $100 and $500 is humongous, right? But $500 to $700 is way smaller than $500 to $1,000. And again, I am not carrying water for the PlayStation 5 Pro. I just was wrong about the PlayStation 4 Pro, where I was kind of like, who cares? And more people cared.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I think this is one of those things of, well, I have this library and my games will look better. And even the games that I'm committed to now, a Fortnite or whatever, they're putting in modes that do... And this is... If it actually happens the way PlayStation wants it to happen, then okay, there's a reason for me to put this in and get that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And again, GTA or Hogwarts Legacy 2 or whatever that's saying, it'll look the best here. I throw up my hands because I am the Xbox thing. I gladly sacrifice the fidelity to play on my phone, to play remote play. I don't give a shit. I play on the cloud.

I agree 1,000%. Again, I want to make very clear for the internet folks, I am not making the argument. Greg Miller would not tell you to get a PlayStation 5 Pro. I think I am of the camp of, these games do look better. Yeah, not enough that I'd want to fork over the cash. You're going to be fine for what you're playing over here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Do you even think that? Because I think even though Phil's quotes here are about PlayStation 5 Pro and iterative stuff, I think you can apply it to the next Xbox as well. We think about hardware that can create unique value for our players or creators on our platform. We don't need to do incremental hardware for our own benefit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Does a new device really give you a unique experience on screen in some way? It's less like the old days. I don't think power is what wins the next generation. I don't think I agree with that. I think PS6 versus Xbox, what do we call it? Xbox, I think I said X0. X0, the X0, right? I think Phil and team are like, what can we do that's unique versus PlayStation?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And I don't think that is, well, I'd hope it, I'd love it to be Switch, but I don't think it's like that or Joy-Con. I don't know what the experience is, what UI you're doing.

I would assume this is a $70 game pass or whatever. No, I would not do this. I'm very excited for Avowed. Excited might not be the right word. I'm very interested in Avowed. I think I'm going to have a great time with Avowed. Everything we've seen, I think, has set my expectations correctly. I think it looks like a game I'm really going to vibe with.

And again, for me personally, and this is the whole Gamescast yesterday, what's your line with good microtransactions versus bad microtransactions, right? Capitalism in games. I look at this one and I go... For me personally, okay, cool.

There's the early access, which is nice. I always want to play the game as fast as I can, but digital art book, don't give a fuck about. Soundtrack, don't give a fuck about. Skin pack, I have not... You could put up Elder Scrolls Online people, Avowed people, probably a whole bunch of different people from outer worlds, right? And I'd be like, I don't 100% know who's the protagonist. What...

Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I know there's the lizard man in Avowed, right, that we've seen. Am I going to give him a skin that I give a shit about or the skin's awesome? I don't know. What do you think, Barrett? It's going to be a really cool skin, Greg.

Nobody knew if you're going to like the game or not like the game, but I thought that was a nice physical good offering. Like I still have the cred sticks on my desk. Like that was when I looked at it. I was like, oh, cool. The art book in a physical manifestation in a cool box or something. That can be fun. I love a physical art book. Yeah.

I mean, when we talked about this, this is what started the Gamescast conversation for yesterday. It was Life is Strange. Two episodes, two weeks early of our five episodes. What the fuck are you talking about? And I think that's another part of it where I don't want to be offensive, because I'm not trying to be, okay? Okay. I don't think Avowed is that big of a deal to everyone.

I think a lot of people know Obsidian, and they're like, fuck yeah, an Obsidian RPG, right? Like, let's go. Yeah. And there's Outer Worlds fans for sure, but I just don't feel like this would be the game I would lead with on this. Like, if I really... Like giving it five days? Yeah, if I really wanted to do this and start...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Hey, your game's on Game Pass. Congratulations. We're going to let people pay for it five days early, all right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I think so. I appreciate Barrett's looking for the backgrounds. He's like, is this it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I'm trying to think too, who I can text right now and get on the phone. I can't imagine you understand that. Not you. I can't imagine a studio head has given this. Well,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I'm scared because I thought it was just going to be us just talking about the games that came out. Well, it is, but I mean, I'm going through them. I'm trying to timeline everything. Keep me honest out there. I have threads up on Threads, Twitter, and Blue Scott about what you thought, everybody, of, of course, PlayStation's 2024.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I'm very excited to see who you're hitting on. I'm like, hi, big question. Live on the air right now. Tell me if this is no good. Can I call you live on the show and ask you questions about what a studio head can and can't say no to when it comes to a publisher? That doesn't seem like something you can talk about on a phone. Unless we blur their voice. Make one of those anonymous callers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I'm going to say generally, not in your specific experience. I mean, I feel like it probably depends. Who wants to flush their career away live onto camera? God, if we had Shawn Layden's phone number, you think he would answer? I'm going to DM Shawn Layden.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
That's even worse. What are you guys talking about? Why would I call it? Hey, Tim, we're asking what studio heads can say no to to Xbox. He's like, I am owned by Xbox. I'm not going to tell you what I can't.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah, go for Super Chats. It turns out, I don't know if it's always been this way or not, but Sean Layden, it does not follow me, so I can't DM him. So I just tweeted at him. Can I call you on the show?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
We'll do super chats as well, but I'm looking through to make sure I do. I'm trying to do a month by month. Here are the biggest things, and not everything, but here's the biggest stuff that happened in terms of layoffs, game releases, Metacritic, stuff like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah. Yeah. Getting hung up. I'm sorry. And I'm joining late. I'm sure. And I heard you talking about the meeting. So it's that if it, If it came out this year and it's a game, it's a game. And I don't think anybody would be like, Game of the Year is Elden Ring, and we wouldn't say Shadow of the Erdtree. You'd explain what you're talking about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Fuck yeah, we are. Are you kidding me out there?

I mean... Is he wrong? I mean, on some of it, yeah. I mean, well, no, because he didn't like Ghostbusters. Okay. Do I deserve sweet chin music? Yeah. Think how many people I fucking crush to get to where I am right now. You know what I mean? That's a good point. You crush a lot of people. You crush a lot of people. Here we go. All right. We got somebody to say yes. Okay.

You're Barrett. You're Barrett. You know how to do everything. Okay. At least you can do the PlayStation background. Yeah, the normal Gamescast background. Yeah, like the PlayStation themed one. Godspeed, Cole. Whatever you're going to find out there, enjoy. Oh no, he's killing him free? Let him go! Look at him, he heard Andy's laugh, he needs to see Andy.

And I still don't know who Greg's about to call.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
hello hello hello is this david brevik legendary video game developer creator of diablo and of course founder of skystone games it is hey david how are you thanks for taking my phone call sure okay i'm great how are you having a good one are you good i haven't caught up with you on the phone in a while we exchanged the occasional text message but it's good to hear your voice i'm glad is everything going good is everything going good at skystone
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Okay, great. We're excited to see what you guys have up your sleeve. Obviously, quite the pedigree, like I said. Creator of Diablo, you've made a few games here and there. More importantly, of course, Marvel Heroes, never forget. But for now, David, here's my question.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
You've worked at Blizzard, you've worked at Gazillion, you've worked throughout the video game industry, and of course, more importantly, probably for this conversation, you talk to developers in a way they wouldn't talk to us. So, the question we have right now stems from Avowed doing this $90 version that'll let you play the game five days early.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
In your experience, is that a decision that would come down on high from, in this case, Xbox, but we can just say publisher, or would studio heads be like, we want to do this and we need to make this happen?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Okay, okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I haven't recorded it yet. It's one of those where, on the way to work, I look through all the Patreon comments and the chats and stuff. I'm like, none of them spoke to me today. So it's like I wanted to get going. Sometimes I like Greg Way to get the wheels and the juices going, and then sometimes I like to put it at the end. So I'm going to do it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Awesome. Thank you so much, David.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Thanks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Good talking to you. Bye. First off, you nailed it. Yeah. Congratulations, Wesley. Thank you. Secondly, I appreciate the one person who was like, you didn't say he's live on the air. First off, you saw me frantically typing beforehand, and do you think that I answered the phone? I'm like, hello, Nick Scarpino, co-founder of Comedy and Comedian from a documentary. Like, no, I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
It could have been that way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
That was mainly... Your point was just, like, us talking about why this happens, when's it acceptable, and then, like, it was this conversation of, is it Phil saying this, or is it also the devs being a part of it, or Studiohead being a part of it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And I do think it will be. I think this is the thing of, like... You can have every game on game pass. Congratulations. You will get them, but we want to make as much money as possible. So if it is, we're going to say, I think, I think this is them setting the stage and they've already been doing this correct of like, we're doing this. And now going forward, this is how it's always going to be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And that's why I think it's a weird one for a vowed, but if it's just the norm, which it will be in a year, then nobody's going to bat an eyelash.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Pizza, but all right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
It's a short day, kind of, in terms of on-screen. I've got a million fucking calls and things to play or whatever. But once we're done with Gamescast, I've got two calls back-to-back, and then I can go. So by then, I'll see what I've percolated on. Again, thread me on any of the threads of the things of the stuff. Let me know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I mean, with the success of Venom. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Because I feel like a Splinter Cell movie could be good. I do think you do. I just don't think it's under Ubisoft. I think Ubisoft's... I mean, you don't have to throw up the stock. You don't have to do anything like that. I just don't think it's going to... I don't think Ubisoft, as we know, it's long for this world. I don't think anything's... All right, let's check in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
What's up, everybody? Welcome to your favorite financial segment in a video game show. Here comes the money with Greg Miller, where we check in on Ubisoft stock. Right now, we're trading at $2.80. If you remember, I bought it for $5.33, and I encouraged you to do it as well. If you remember, what was it? Let me look at the thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
It's been down for a very long time. But again, the number one rule of Greg's sound financial advice is that buy low, sell high. So this might be the time to buy. Because remember, when the rumors of the takeover happened, it spiked. It jumped all the way up to $3. So, like, I wouldn't have made any money. I still would have lost a lot of money. But you could have if you bought around here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Because we're in the basement. Can't go much lower. You know what I mean? Don't. It's Ubisoft. Don't test them. They'll find a way. Remember October 3rd? No, hold on. Yeah, October 4th, we jumped up to $3.02. All right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Thank you, Barrett. That could easily happen where you keep the sub-brand, but also I could easily see it gets bought and what's the Ubisoft brand worth to us? Especially if we're Disney. That's fair. If we're Disney, it's not like we need the Marvel logo in front of, you know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah, just putting in your game portfolio. Yeah, right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah. I guess that's fair.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Don't get me started on THQ coming back. THQ is just when your name is so bad that you buy something and you're like, you know, this dead husk of a company is a better name. I'm going to put that skin on for a second. Oh, no, it's not. Well, we'll become the Embracer group. Nothing bad can happen for us. Yeah. So anyways, I do think you eventually get a Splinter Cell movie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I just don't think it'll be with the Guillemot family running anymore. I can vibe with that. I agree with that. Story number four.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Tomb Raider, did you watch it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
yeah probably some people of course like a lot of people like anime and a lot of people explain themselves but chad have you watched the tomb raider one jen and i saw it a few not not nights and weeks ago now and it was like oh and then we were in that thing where there's like nothing to watch like i put this on we put it on for like five minutes and we're like okay now we're not now we're good we're good so i wish i could help you captain carter i think the bigger question is because what isn't there a watchdogs movie in production that's wrapped
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
That was the thing. Oh, you're right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
They back girl it. They're just like, this ain't it. But again, I think these are the things that are going to lead to Ubisoft just being like, we got to get out of this. Who wants this? Who wants to buy this? And Embracer Group's like, we'd love to buy you and take your name. And that would be the thing. Embracer Group buys them and they're like, now we're Ubisoft. They keep putting skin on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
They're like, now we're Ubisoft.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Oh!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
You're thrilled with what EA's doing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Didn't we just complain about Ultimate Team and FIFA yesterday?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I'm not one of the EA's the evilest, worst company in the world people. They've made a lot of bad decisions and stupid shit, but there's a corporation. I feel like EA's the most like, we're a corporation that makes video games. And we figured out how to do it successfully enough.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And even Ubisoft, where it's just like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
ubisoft such an interesting one and i'll be so fascinated to see when we get to the next chapter and inevitably jason writes his next book about them because it is just that thing where when vivendi was trying to take them over and yves guillemot was like signing the clack signs like we got to stop this and yeah and they they figured out what a ubisoft game should be and they found success and we all loved them yeah and then it was like felt like overnight everybody's like now we're sick of you yeah we're sick of what you're doing
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And they're like, but we're too far gone. We only know how to make this now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
He's doing a house call!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
You can do the thing, or you can move the stuff. And then you got the thing, and then you do the stuff. And I know the real song, everybody. I just don't want us to get claimed. Well, that's the reason why you're doing the fake lyrics. Yesterday, Tim all muted, muted, muted. So he muted it. I'm like, can I sing it? He's like, just don't sing it too closely. So then I did that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I'd like to invite everyone listening and watching to the Kind of Funny Gamescast on Wednesday, December 4th, where we'll do where Ubisoft went wrong. We'll figure this out. We're going to get to the bottom of this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
That's going to be a crux of my argument about where they went wrong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And then he's like, dude, the song sounds like. Shut up, Tim.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I'll say, yeah. Yeah. Dan Hayes talented. You know, he, I remember, uh, his presentation for far cry five and going through all the research they did and the people they hung out with and all that stuff. And I, you know, he's, he's a talented guy making shooters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And so I think if he's got a, a team over there, uh, you know, Blizzard isn't the, it is still Blizzard, but it isn't the Blizzard that's chronicled in Jason's book, right? This is the Xbox Blizzard. This is a, a Blizzard that wants to make games and, you know, uh, Not even because he's connected to Blizzard, but as Brevik said, people are trying to make money, right? They're trying to do things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
I do think that you'll see this one come out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Sean Michaels better super kick your ass. I feel like it's the tune of it. He said I wasn't even remotely close.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And I think, you know, when they work on it for multiple decades, it's always important. And Jason's book talks about it, right? Of like, it's not that they're continuously working on it. They have a team working on it. It gets canceled, goes away. Then the idea comes, but it's a different idea. You go for it. This is obviously a different idea from what's come before.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And I think, again, as you look, if I'm Xbox and I'm... Phil, I buy Blizzard, right? I'm excited to have all of these IPs now, right? But... very importantly, is breaking these IPs out of the very successful lanes they've already been in. Starcraft is a very successful IP for Blizzard and for video games, right? But you're either a Starcraft player or you are fucking not, right? So let's
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
get it outside of that let's get that into a first or an open world shooter right where you can go through and do something and attract a new audience similar to what you're seeing with Space Marine right where that's an IP that is a million different things but that means there's so many entry points to get you in get you excited become a huge loser like Rahul Kohli and paint the little miniatures yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And that's a way to get me into that world. And this is a great example, and what we're talking about, right, is the industry struggles to be able to find funding for new ideas and new IP, right? Like, So many new IP. I'm looking at you, Concord, right? You have come out. They do nothing. They do something or whatever, but it's not as successful as something else.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
So why not take an idea for a game and put it with a franchise that has an audience and has names behind it?

I got to get back now that I'm through the main. Now that I'm done. Did you ever even boot up New World of Tournament? Yeah, me and Joey did a whole stream with it. Oh, really? Loved it. But it's just like it was Dragon Age time. It launched the day we got Dragon Age. I got a few other things to knock out for next week, but then I'll be back. Sit for Wieners.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Especially with this version, New World Aeternum, they're leaning harder into the action RPG side of it. But it is still MMO, where you're running around and you can go fight open world bosses and stuff like that. But it feels more like... When you say... Am I... Am I pressing a button and then I hit? Oh, no, no. It's action. It's an action RPG. You're drawing the bow. You're shooting the arrow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

You're swinging your sword. Does it feel good? Yeah, it does. I mean, I don't think it's as sharp as, well, God of War for sure. Dragon Age? Yeah, no. It's close, but it was a hard one of going from that to Dragon Age. You know what I mean? Because Dragon Age combat feels so fucking good. Yeah. Whereas this one feels a little bit more M-O-E. M-M-O-E. But I'm excited to play more.

No, don't do that. Like that time Joey ordered three times the pepperoni. It was too much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah. It's always tough. And I haven't, I've seen the breakout quotes. I haven't seen it in context. Like whenever somebody talks about their game and how it's been, like it, what does that mean? Has it been an active development since 2020, or was it a whiteboard that had a bunch of ideas or a story outline that him and Hallie worked on?

CJ Claxton says, I think Greg knows about the next Naughty Dog game and can't talk about it. Here's what I know. I know nothing official from Naughty Dog. I have heard scuttlebutt behind the scenes from other industry people, one person, about what the game is about. But I don't know if that's true, so I would never say anything about that. But I have no information from anybody of consequence.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Here's what I'm saying. Game seems further along. One of the things you do later in the game, voice acting. What's Barrett always talking about trying to do? Voice acting. Barrett is the star of the next Naughty Dog game.

This is Pizza Hut reveals a 3D printable device that uses the PlayStation 5's heat to keep pizza warm. So you put this pizza box on top of your PlayStation 5. It uses the heat from the console then apparently to keep your pizza warm in this box to warm your pizza while you play. What is going on? What are we doing?

I'm reading over here from Tech Spot. The Pizza Warmer from Pizza Hut Canada is a contraption that connects to your top of your PlayStation 5. It's designed and red highlights are inspired by Pizza Hut's roof. And the lid opens like a laptop for easy pizza access.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
The device works by channeling hot air from the console's exhaust to beneath where the pizza slices are located and directly into the compartment. It will hold several slices and it's recommended that you insert a foil tray inside the warmer to protect your console from crumbs and grease. Pizza Hut also suggests that you start gaming first to warm up your console, then add the medium slices.

I feel... It's a needed conversation to settle down the beehive you kick when you start talking about the fact that you can be an Xbox anywhere on any screen. I think it would have been... Nice to see this announcement paired with here is the Xbox handheld, here is the vision for the next Xbox console, but I also think Phil's been open this week of the Xbox handheld.

I was drunk at Gumby's Pizza in Columbia, Missouri once, and I filled out an application to be a driver. Didn't get the job. Didn't get a call. I can't imagine why, but I was pretty high on it, and I was talking to the person, the manager there. I get drunk. This might have been the night we stole a pizza pie plate, too. I don't know.

You could play all the great Xbox games or a whole bunch of different great game pass games right now on whatever screen you're watching this on, right? That's an important message to get out there. Then you do need to come to us, the console, hardcore, whatever you want to call it, mainstream video game player and say, if you still want an Xbox, we are going to still make Xboxes there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

This is not a saying goodbye to generations. I don't think I didn't see a lot of that yesterday. Like I, and I'm not in the most, uh, you know, particular Xbox communities, right? Yeah, you're not on the subreddits. So I didn't see a lot of that. I didn't see Paris, you know, immediately share this when it got said because, of course, he is seeing that more on what his feeds are looking like.

Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
Yeah. Yeah, it's two opposing viewpoints on how to do this. To double on some of the things you're saying about the PlayStation 5 Pro, I'm obviously right there with you. I'm still Mr. PlayStation. That's what I play my stuff on. I love my trophies, etc., etc. From the moment the PlayStation 5 Pro has shown up, and I've seen games on it or played stuff on it, I'm like, yeah, it looks better.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
But at no point have I gone, I got to take this home tonight. I got to disconnect my PlayStation and get all my stuff on here. It's just not what I... None of that is. I do think the PlayStation 5 Pros, not Trojan horse by any stretch of the imagination, but the reason it exists is to be the replacement for the PlayStation 5.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
when your launch PlayStation 5 breaks, when GTA 6 drops and does have a crazy mode in there that does look good, it may be more than anything to extend this generation. A generation that for PlayStation has not been, holy shit, month after month, year after year, PlayStation's putting up banger after banger, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
The first party lineup, in terms of true first party lineup, has been sparse compared to what we got on PlayStation 4, especially at the end, which is a bit of the
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
roast into glasses right of like one month is ghost the next month is last was part two holy shit we're swimming in great games um i think if they expect this generation to go on longer than what you know they may be expected at the front putting this out makes sense because you're going to get more people in and then at the end you're going to want more people who are going to are you going to have more people who are why i've gone this far and it's starting to die or there's this new game that's the thing where i think there is barrett's tweet understandably so calls out final fantasy rebirth right as the killer app for this launch right yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
And I don't think PlayStation looked at this as, we need a killer app at launch, because they don't have one. Like, yeah, they have Final Fantasy, but again, if you're listening to this, if you're interested in this console, haven't you probably already played that, right? They didn't even time it with Dragon Age's launch, and that was, like, the biggest new game that had a patch for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Says There Will Definitely Be Future Consoles - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.15.24
This is future-proofing. This is putting something on the shelf to buy over time, and over time, to have it be that, a year from now, there are...

This is another one where if I'm making my prediction right now, I would say Senua's Saga as well. I know it's so well known from the first game. Wear headphones. You're going to hear it all around you and stuff. But that was on another level this time around.

But I'm just like, I don't want to play more of it. And I wonder how many developers are like me. Where they played it and like, I got it. Like, this isn't my kind of thing and I want to go. And I'm strictly speaking of game of the year, right? This is my evidence of like, wow, a game that like, again, IGN, GameSpot, so many people are falling all over themselves to give game of the year.

I think it's a toss-up between Astro Bot and Batman Arkham Shadow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
And I think, honestly, Batman Arkham Shadow might get him here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Where I think, don't get me wrong, Astro Bot is a technically astounding game. It's beautiful, but it's a platformer. It's more Astro Bot. It's this, that, and the other. Where Batman Arkham Shadow, really, for the... underwhelming platform VR has been. I'm not saying there haven't been standouts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
I'm not saying there aren't great VR games, but as underwhelming as it had been, I think you see Batman Arkham Shadow get announced and we had the Barrett video of like, oh, fuck, it's VR. And I was like, oh, nobody cares about this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
And for it to come out and be well-received and be like, no, no, we actually did take what the Arkham games were known for, put it into VR and make it work and make it fun and make it enjoyable and make it feel like an Arkham game. That's a technical achievement, I think. You're playing this game and not getting carsick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25

see i think this one for me personally is a toss-up between black myth and helldivers 2 and i think what i think okay i think just the fact that helldivers 2 got nominated i think this is where it'll get the tap for more people because more people probably played that it had funds with their friends i think there's that argument of is it is it an action game in the same way stellar blade or wukong is yeah no but i don't i'm trying to get into the headspace of a gajillion developers

Where I think all of these have their individual fandoms, and especially if you're voting down the ballot and you get here and it's like, oh, well, do I want to honor one of these games that I've seen in multiple of the categories? And I think all fit the bill here. They do.

I would think... I don't think Animal... I think Animal Well, based on the reception critically and Rogers 10 here, and I know how much people love that, I would say that I think... I want to say I think that wins, but it's too close. I don't think enough people played Animal Well to be like, oh, it's Animal Well. And so then you're like, well, is it going to be Indiana Jones?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Because I don't think enough people played A Thousand X Resist. Echoes of Wisdom people liked but didn't love. And Prince of Persia, another criminally underplayed one.

D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
It's one of those where the only thing I think stopping metaphor is maybe, and again, based on just the game of the year category, maybe they don't think, maybe devs don't think as highly of it as we do. And even if it was, I don't think it would be Dragon Age. The game I love, I think it would probably be Final Fantasy or Elden Ring.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Again, I think Batman. Yeah, I think so. Outstanding achievement for an independent game. Animal Well, Bellatro, Grun, Indica, and Mouthwashing. A game that I know is four hours long. Blessing finally beat and I need to play because I've been told I need to play.

D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Yeah, I think it's Bellatro by Country Mile, and deservedly so. I just think that that's a game that took over. And I think, especially when you think of indie last year. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
100%, yeah. You know, a late one to the game, but so much juice behind it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Demon Hacker, Super Chess. I think Mouthwashing is a great game. No, I know it is. It's loaded on the Steam Deck. I just need to not want to play an RPG when I get home, because that's what I've been doing. I get it. Online game of the year, Call of Duty Black Ops 6, Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred, Helldivers 2, Marvel Rivals, and Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Yeah, I would think so. Like, I think, I mean, I'm outside of my element on a Call of Duty, of course. I adore Diablo and have played so much. Marvel Rivals is great. Warhammer is great. But... Even what the success of Warhammer Space Marine 2 of playing with your friends, which I saw a lot of, was dwarfed by Helldivers 2.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25

are the end cap to the dice summit where everybody goes to round tables and makes big old business deals and talk like the dice awards are the cherry on top where everybody goes and gets drunk.

Number two on the ROPA report, Nintendo Switch 2 is reportedly getting two major Xbox games, including Halo. This is Mr. Number Two, Jordan Miller at VGC. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Halo The Master Chief Collection are both coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and PS5, it's been claimed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
According to Nate The Hate, a podcaster with a history of correctly reporting on unreleased video games, both games are planned to... are planned for the system as Microsoft plans to heavily support Nintendo Switch 2. It's also claimed that both of these games will also come to PlayStation 5. Both games would be the latest traditionally Xbox-exclusive titles to move to other platforms.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Are you really that upset that these, with all due respect, old games are coming out? You know what I mean? Like onto these other systems? That doesn't make any sense. I've never understood this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
No, you're right on the money with it. And it's more the fact that I don't think it's shocking. If anything's shocking about it, it's the interesting thing of like, oh, Switch 2. Microsoft's going to heavily support Switch 2. It's like, okay, great. Obviously, Switch 1 is an amazing device that can barely run modern games. So the fact that everyone's like, oh, it's going to have the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
It'll be a PlayStation 4, a PlayStation 4 Pro, innards, and yada, yada, yada. Awesome. Prove that. Show that. Make games not look like dog shit on it when it runs. Great. I don't care. I think it's cool that it is supported. I think it is cool that they're going to bring stuff everywhere. And again, this is Xbox's mantra, right? This is an Xbox. That TV's an Xbox. This is an Xbox.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
My water bottle's not an Xbox. I agree. If that's what they're doing, then go full bore on it. It's interesting to see, of course, even though it's just a throwaway mention, I'm in the headline here, Halo coming to PlayStation five. Like I'd heard that rumor forever ago behind closed doors, behind this, that over a drink at dice, I think from somebody I was like, Oh yeah, this is happening.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25

D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
And so here we are, where it's actually, you know, apparently maybe happening. That's exciting, yeah. Again, if you have, it's the same thing when PlayStation puts their games on a PC and people flip out. It's like, PlayStation's gotten all the juice they want to get out of it on that console.

D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25

Representatives from the company also claimed to have a final unit of the system and shared information about this as yet unannounced system's release date. Now Nintendo has commented on these images to the Japanese publication Sankey. Quote, these images and videos are not official. A representative for Nintendo told Sankey.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Do we need them to say that? I was aware these weren't official images, Nintendo. I mean, you would... I was aware the videos weren't official videos, Nintendo.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
But they're not denying it. They're saying the videos aren't official. Yeah, I know. It's like if Sony prints the fucking kind of funny logo on an iron-on shirt and wears it around, I can say that's not official. But it's still the fucking kind of funny logo. God damn it. It's a rare acknowledgement of internet rumors from Nintendo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Where it's like, Last year was Baldur's Gate 3. 2023 was Elden Ring. 2022 is It Takes Two. 2021 was Hades. 2020 was Untitled Goose Game.

And that was the one that really swerved people and got people pissed off that weren't in the room or whatever. But it's that idea of like, back to it, it's developers seeing the matrix and seeing what it is and seeing what it's made.

D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
And I think for as much as we laud Astro Bot for being so tight, being so PlayStation nostalgia, being so beautiful, one of the things we talk about in the review that I think gets lost is The amount of gimmicks, for lack of a better term, mechanics, but gimmicks they put into these levels that you use once. You use it just for this thing, and then you never come back to it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
And it's like, wow, I think that strikes me so much as It Takes Two, where you built this thing for this specific level, and that's it. And I think when developers look at that, they understand the amount of work that went into that rather than recycling asset, rather than putting this back.

I mean, if I was betting and I am right now, I would say AstroBop, but I wouldn't be surprised to be surprised. I think, you know, especially when you do have Indiana Jones on there, where it didn't speak to me to the level it did other people, right? I gave it a 6.5 out of 10. Said it was okay. Not bad, by any stretch of the imagination.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
But so many people afterwards like, well, I love Dishonored and this is giving me those vibes. And again, they get back into video game developer headspace. Like people, I know how many devs really connect with those things. And this is the show that isn't about you had the best budget or you were the most popular game. This is you see what's working and how it works. So maybe they get it there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25
Of course, I want to hear your thoughts on the rest of the categories. They go like this. Outstanding Achievement in Animation.

lived up to what I wanted it to be based on those trailers yeah I thought it was too easy and I whatever and I had some bugs in it but art direction wise I thought was stellar obviously Lego is gorgeous yeah I you know you get into Senua which is always this technical powerhouse black myth obviously on this one I would go for art direction I would go plucky squire would be my vote okay winning I think it is kind of a toss-up though between I know I yeah I don't think on the same level as developers right so I can't
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
D.I.C.E. Nominated WHAT for Game of the Year?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.10.25

The remaining staff soon pivoted to a game based on the Wonder Woman comic books. talking about WB Montreal, they tried to get a new project off the ground after Gotham Knights. First, they pitched a game based on Constantine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
Haddad's team initially said they were excited about the idea, but when asked for budget and timeline approvals, they remained noncommittal, according to the people familiar with the plans. After months of waffling, president of production, Ben Bell, suggested that they should work instead on a game starring a more recognizable character, like the Joker or the Flash.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
They went with Flash, but in 2023, Warner Brothers released Flash, which bombed at the box office. The video game has since been scrapped. Over the past two years, most of Montreal's leadership have resigned. Now, the Montreal studio is helping out with other projects, such as Wonder Woman, while working on a new pitch for a game based on Game of Thrones.

The last bullet point I have here is about Avalanche. Avalanche is now working on new content for Hogwarts Legacy, as well as a sequel. But questions linger about whether the success of the first game can be replicated, let alone surpassed, or if the pent-up demand has already been satiated. I think part of that also comes from the Hogwarts Quidditch game that came out last fall.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
That seemingly flopped for them as well. So I think coming off of that, they're like, ooh, is the Harry Potter IP by itself enough to drive all these sales like it did Hogwarts Legacy, or... Did we satiate them with Hogwarts Legacy 1 is kind of the idea there. Yeah. A lot there.

I feel like Mike Bithell would be such a slam dunk, though. I just like to take it. I just don't want to take it. I don't want to take a dig at Bithell. I'm going to get Bithell game. I'm going to get Bithell game there, too.

Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
I am surprised you go with Flash over Superman because both of those, I don't know how you make either of those games. Like, as an action game, assuming that that's what they were going to do, right? Like, I would be fascinated on, all right, who, like, obviously they wanted to go Flash for the recognition of it, but did you have a vision for Flash? Did you know what you're going to do with that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
Was that going to be a, yeah, like an action adventure game or an open world action game? Like, what was that genre of video game you're going to make? Yeah. Like I want to see it in action because that just sounds so difficult in the way that a Superman game sounds difficult from the overpowered aspect of it. If you're going to go with the genre that you assume that they would with it.

Because I've heard about crypto all of my life. The streets have always been talking about crypto. They've been talking about this crypto dog. And I'm like, what kind of currency is it? But I've heard about crypto forever. But I don't think I've actually watched anything that involved crypto. You haven't watched the cartoon back in the day? Which one was it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
I think I'm going to say the same thing you're about to say, which is the Marvel games route is so smart and so, I think, appropriate for what Marvel has as IP. You have all these heroes. So many of them are recognizable and there's so much you can do with it. DC is the same way. You have all these heroes and, like, you have heroes that can be depicted in so many different ways, right? Like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
you can have multiple Wonder Woman games. You can have multiple Superman or multiple Batman games in different genres, right? Like, those are the characters that you have and that you work with. And so to your Talos principle pitch, right, which isn't exactly Talos principle, but I'm sure there is a smaller developer that you can look at and go, hey, would you like to make a Flash thing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
And, like, they can... At the very least, get something out the door that's going to make more money than something that's canceled. And I think that's the problem here is you look through these different projects that these studios are working on, right? And you would get, all right, the Wonder Woman game was rebooted. Okay, Suicide Squad was a huge flop. Okay, this game didn't come out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
Okay, you worked on this thing for three years. That was an original project from Monolith. Oh, guess what? WB didn't want it to come out because it wasn't based off an already existing IP that they viewed as getting them more money. So when you have these failures and you have these canceled projects, you are working with little to no money coming in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
As opposed to at least those successes that you can get on a small scale that can hopefully build up into something bigger for you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
ones that work right sometimes get the ones that work but a lot of times you don't and like you've seen those ip holders that like have all this ip and don't really know what to do with it wb because they've already been in the video game business i would hope fingers crossed that there's somebody there with the vision but hearing about yeah david hadad who
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
is described as somebody who does not play video games, it's tough to kind of, like, get these ideas across of, like, what we're doing here on the video game side and on the development side and, like, you know, what would work, what doesn't work. Like, I then worry about, yeah, can you get somebody in the door that can spear that up? And it sucks because...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
It feels like WB hasn't reached this point of, oh man, we're done, as far as the video game side, until recently-ish. I'll say in the last five years. Well, you go back a decade ago, and to make it relevant, it's the Batman quote of, you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain. A decade ago, we're talking about Injustice. We're talking about Shadow of Mordor.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
We're talking about the Batman Arkham games. That was such a high point for WB Games.

Rock. The Rock's movie where he was Crypto. I definitely didn't see the Rock movie, but I might have seen the cartoon that you're talking about, Roger, but I didn't watch much of it. Were there other dogs Like, were there other... Was there a Batman dog? Oh, yeah, I remember this guy. Yeah, I believe there was. Oh, I remember this guy. There was. There was a Batman dog.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
And the villain part of it, because it's...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
i think as we've been talking for the last like however many years about all the shifts we're seeing in video games right especially as we're seeing like a lot of failures and a lot of um a lot of games not being able to live up to what it seems like their expectations are it seems like it's a very similar story across the board of trying to chase something trying to chase trends those trying to chase ip power as opposed to hey
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
Guess what? Monolith, who made Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, they have an idea for an original game that is about telling your own story. And from the guys who invented the Nemesis system, that sounds really cool. That sounds really awesome. It's not IP, though. We gotta give you some kind of superhero. Hey, do something with Wonder Woman.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
Not to insult Wonder Woman, but why can't they just make something original, especially if it sounds that good? To your point of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
a good licensed game versus just a very great video game shadow of mordor was a very great video game with one of the coolest systems of last generation yeah that system should be able to shine in its full potential and i don't think that is in a superhero game right like i think that did i mean obviously that was great for shadow of mordor i think that would have been great for uh wonder woman but in an original game that revolves around a system like that like i think that could have been something truly special you're immediately trying to shoehorn in the nemesis system to wonder woman's lore

Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
anything with not to their own fault because of course it was over them and obviously like large article but yeah the context around it was essentially WB being like hey like we want something that is IP based like look at the DC lineup of characters and superheroes like what if you did this what if you did that alright cool we'll do Wonder Woman same with the developer that was working on Constantine like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
hey, what if you did something with Joker or Flash? Because they're more recognizable. Everything has to be IP, which is unfortunate. And to the hero-to-villain dynamic, of course, we've got to talk about Batman in a second.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
Wonder Woman has a kangaroo? There's ran out of animals?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
But when we talk about outside of DC, we're talking about Game of Thrones, we're talking about Lord of the Rings, we're talking about Mortal Kombat, which is like NetherRealm, a studio that is a game studio, right? But Mortal Kombat has to go into those things where it is as big as any other IP. It fits in the, I guess, IP race of... Like we want something that's going to make money.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
We want something that's going to do big, right? Which is awesome. And like, it's great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
Cause another realm that is their bread and butter, it's Ed Boon working on this thing and he has worked on it for decades, but even Mortal Kombat nowadays, like I feel like it's lost some of the sauce and I'll attribute that to like some of the monetization aspects of it as well, where you're looking at like the DLC and you're looking at like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
I don't know some of the ways that it feels like it's been lost to time a little bit like other fighting game franchises have kind of caught up and surpassed it once again in terms of like the gameplay feel of it to where that I also feel like you got to figure out as well and I the thing that I worry about even more so than even just the stuff I said is are you going to allow the failings of the other like the IP race the trend chasing all that stuff to now fuck with the Mortal Kombat side of things of
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
You've got to sell that company, right? Like, if you get out of the video game business, does that mean NetherRealm shuts down? Does that mean the IP... Oh, somebody would buy NetherRealm. The IP just becomes, like, you know... IPs and more interesting things.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
um my question that was going to be a bit like off the topic but still on topic is um about the industry as a whole we talked about this a lot of like you know the financials and how things are going down and how like um it seems like a lot of things aren't living up to expectation right now it feels like wb games isn't going to be around in this form in the next i don't know what timeline to put on let's say three four years yeah um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
I feel like we can say the same about, like, a lot of different publishers right now, right? Like, I feel like Ubisoft is in that conversation. They will be in a very different place, yeah. Like, I guess... I don't even know if I'm posing this as a question, more just of a thought of, what is all this gonna look like in 2030? Like, do other publishers rise and replace Ubisoft?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
Or, like, replace... Or, like... Does everything just get restructured in a way where the traditional publisher system as we know it right now, like, with the, I guess, like, numbers it feels like they have to hit and, like, owning all these studios and all this, like, does that go away?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
Like, what is, this might be a question for a whole other Gamescast, but, like, how does all of this, I guess, find a solution? Yeah.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
I do think there's a balance to it where I think IP is worth growing and IP is worth maintaining, especially if you're WB and you thrive on that IP. But I think at the same time, you should have studios that are...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
working on those feelers of what is a new ip that we can make that hopefully grows into something big so we can continue to work towards the future i think for i know you said but that's not playstation but i think that's what's worked well about playstation in the last generation is you had that period where you had horizon ghost of tsushima death stranding uh days gone but that we don't talk about days ago but like you were able to put out like those new ips not all of them are going to hit but guess one guess what when some of them hit those turn into money makers over time and like

That's the one thing I hope doesn't happen. When Mario Galaxy came out, you would use the Wiimote to point at your screen and collect the little star bits on the screen. Fuck that shit. No, man. If I am doing mouse and keyboard switch controllers and it's like, oh yeah, move the mouse so you can collect collectibles. I'm out of here. I'm not doing this.

Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
No, I like their statement about it toward the end of it because they kind of talk about like why they did it. Essentially, it was like I think it was the thing of obviously they delayed it for quality reasons and then they don't want to delay it past March because they have a football manager 26 that they want to release later in the year. So they can't ask him to buy this game.

um so i just thought it was very interesting reasoning and also just like man famously critics across the globe are just crying crying but i mean it doesn't matter right because andy can drop this did somebody counter pick it no nobody countered it yeah he can drop it but it's just the fact that like just like making fun of andy year sucks year after year football manager is always i think the safe pick yeah because it's out every year and then also it's one of those ones where only the nerds will play it so he usually reviews pretty well so to have it canceled

Where do you stand? Because I'm sure you've talked about this a billion times, but I just haven't heard it. Where do you stand on Batman as a character? Should he be, I guess, like owned by Matt Reeves? Or should James Gunn take him back and be like, you're part of our universe? Or should it be both? Should we have two Batmans?

which we'll get to in a second, because that is story number two. Oh! But before we get to story number two, Greg, as I was putting together today's show, I pulled this article from VGC, of course, referencing Jason Schreier's report at Bloomberg. But, so I can have the context around it, I went and I read the Bloomberg article, which is very long, which is why I defaulted to VGC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
As I read through Schreier's report, every few lines, I'll read something where I'm like, oh, that's interesting. Let me put that in a bullet point in the doc. And then I kept going, and I have a bunch of bullet points here. So I'm going to read through some of these bullet points. And this is even outside of just the Wonder Woman thing. This is just talking about Warner Brothers as a whole.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
So Warner Brothers Chief Executive Officer David Zaslav told investors in November that the company's video game business was substantially underperforming its potential. The company had been counting on Suicide Squad and Multiversus to generate revenue throughout this year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
uh warner brothers warner brothers now has david now has a little to uh release in the stretch ahead beyond a refreshed version of the 2023 hit hogwarts legacy a lego title and a few mobile games so again i'm gonna pause there and say keep and keep note right this year you don't have much releasing because last year multiverses and suicide squad were supposed to hold down the flag and have that ongoing revenue you don't have those because guess what those failed
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
Continuing on the bullet points, David Haddad, head of the gaming division, was described by colleagues as a polished executive who does not appear to spend much time playing video games himself, something subordinates occasionally found challenging as they tried to talk through the nuances of product decisions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
After Shadows of War, Monolith began working on a brand new franchise that would experiment with procedural storytelling, but executives at Warner Brothers weren't particularly interested in creating new characters and universes from scratch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Wonder Woman in Trouble, Batman Arkham Lives?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.07.25
The game plotted along for more than three years in something of a standoff where executives at Warner Brothers appeared to know it wasn't going to happen, but did not take decisive action. In 2021, Warner Brothers finally canceled it. The head of Monolith, Kevin Stevens, and most of his directors quit and started a new studio with rival EA.

Matt Piscitella, when he was on, talked about games being a mature market now right after COVID and as many people who are going to come into games have come into games and we've plateaued. I don't think you're going to see that change, obviously.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
I am interested to see if there's a COVID-like effect where it is the people who, once we could go back outside, went away from games and did other stuff.

Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
I wonder if you're going to see people come back inside because of this in play, Animal Crossing and Warzone and Fortnite and the stuff they already own or already get free-to-play, not invest in the ecosystem in terms of buying new hardware, but if it is that change

And I think, you know, this is another one I put in the Gregway ride of like, it'll be interesting. I think us at Kind of Funny have always been very bullish on the Xbox strategy.

DeJoser in the chat says sucks to be in the US. It does. But just remember, sadly, this will affect all of you as well. Maybe again, maybe not in prices. The tariffs don't happen. Your games are cheaper, yada, yada. Remember how many games the US does buy. And so I'm not doing wrong. This isn't me being proud or swinging back at you. I'm just trying to wake you up to the reality of like when...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders Due to Tariffs - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.04.25
all this happens and people stop buying new games and then these companies stop funding as many new games and these studios then have to lay people off and then close these studios. Like the ripples on this are insane on what we're about to get into. If we lock down and commit course. And like Tim said, I imagine it's too late to turn back.
