What was all the money for, Phil? Remember, we had it so good. We had it so good. Playing three. Arguably the worst one, but still a good game. It was good enough for you and me to have a few beers and play.

It's time for some news. Seven stories today. A baker's dozen.

Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
A baker's dozen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah, four of those being games from devs that they have acquired over the years. Exactly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
No, I just still have questions about where they're going and stuff like that. backing up what Greg is saying about people having questions, like I do, of Xbox owning a very large chunk of the software of this industry. I'm being scared about that. When's the last time a big corporation did us wrong?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
What happens when Xbox falls? Or if Xbox falls in this industry?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Well, they've already done that. But in terms of the health of this industry is what I'm concerned about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I think they're both, like, they both represent different eras.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I'm nostalgic for the one that's, as we see in the art here, but I like, you know, I enjoyed this new one here. It's more jovial. It's a bit more fun, a bit more kid-friendly, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
The Lost Crown. Yeah. I can't wait to see what this team does next. I know. Oh, wait.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
It might be sarcastic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah. Fascinating story, especially to come out after, like right after we started talking about the marathon debacle with Bungie and them like stealing art not like not with generative AI and stuff but actually like actually just like taking someone else's art and now we're just gonna do it with in extra steps and like when do we eventually you know get the
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
you know apology from this studio that uh someone else learned about swastikas and put them all over the you know sorry yeah we just trained it on our tools but oh somehow this thing accidentally got in there who who knows how that happened uh it was the ai's fault um maybe maybe stop using it that'd be cool sucks that'd be cool stop killing the planet
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Was anybody telling you? There was one guy. We had a fight every time in the chat. We had a fight.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
You want to know why? It's because they were fungible. If they were non-fungible, it would have been a success. That is the big problem. Remember that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I feel like Andy brought up sleep token for some reason recently.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
See, I feel like that's like a backhanded compliment. I don't think so.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
Yeah, see, but the last time I've heard you're getting really good use out of this thing was Mike telling Roger you're getting real good use out of that jacket.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Xbox FINALLY Winning? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.21.25
I'm working on the platinum. I had to start New Game Plus because I got fucked on the journals. Damn. You got to get a key at the very beginning of the game and you can't go back to get that key. Yeah, so got to recollect all the journals. Fought Simon twice though. Kicked his ass on New Game Plus. One shot. Hell yeah. 100 million damage in one shot. Love it. God, that's awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah, at this point, though, I don't know what else they would really add. Like, the Portal is a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
pretty damn amazing device for what it is and again i feel like a lot of the people that reviewed it negatively were comparing it and i feel like rightfully so to similar products that do the thing that it does better like the steam deck yeah but the important thing to note there's the steam deck is three times the price like two times the price even for the entry point edition of it like uh and the steam deck does uh very well at remote play and it's only getting better
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
It has HDR. It has features that this thing doesn't. OLED, HDR, I think are the two big things that Portal could add. Better Wi-Fi because it only has Wi-Fi 6 at this point. But again, we're talking about such slim margins.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
You can play those directly on the device. I can see that happening for sure. Again, we're seeing the market shift right now. We're talking about these devices that are not in the grand scheme of things selling that much. It's not like the Steam Deck is... We talk about it a lot, and we all love it a lot, but it is not like it is representative of any major market period in video games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
That is going to change, though. I do think that it's going to continue to... Bridge the gap between consoles, PC, and handheld, portability, mobile, whatever you want to call it, and cloud. All those things together are going to continue merging.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah, I just think that as the gaming audience gets older and older, I feel like the desire for remote play and the technical necessities for it to be viable are just going to continue to become a bigger part of the pie chart. And we're already seeing that. And with their support of this, I think this is great. This is awesome news all around.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Oh, hell yeah. We'll savor that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
like i guess different technologies to support handheld gaming and make that a thing again i mean again handheld and portable different like remote play i play my playstation portal or steam deck handheld in my room while we're watching tv or whatever but uh what's interesting and we've talked about this during our ps5 pro review but like this doesn't necessarily relate to the clouds situation but it could as technology gets better for the cloud side of things uh but
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Oh, that's true. Right afterwards. Yeah. Exciting times. That's how I feel with gladiator. We're doing gladiator in review. Yeah. And I, I, I've never seen him. The watch gladiator one. And then watch Gladiator 2. Yeah. Back-to-back goodness. Let me tell you. I can't wait for y'all to see these interviews. I'm excited.

108060.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
108060. Again, we're not getting HDR, so that is a big loss there. But 108060, I wonder, from the cloud, what's it running off? Is it running off of PS5 Pro?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
But why not?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I'd love more info on this. Cause I don't, I don't know. Yeah. But I would assume that they're going to try to put on the best stuff possible. And like, obviously there's going to be latency. There's going to be that like kind of fuzz look where everything's not quite as sharp as it should be. Cause it's streaming, but like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah. That's such a cool idea. The path that I keep talking about, that was the very beginning of the path. Yeah. And we're still going down it. They might not still be here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
He stood next to me and he wheezed talked so wheezy that I don't know. I think he said we fucking did it, but I'm not sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Oh, hell yeah. I'm hearing amazing things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Tim, thoughts? I mean, this is awesome. Again, I don't think it's going to work perfectly, but I think it is going to work really well. And I think over time, it's going to just increase how well it's working and with the amount of games and all of that. We got a Nightlife super chatting in saying, Microsoft installs Series X Blades into data centers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I can't believe that Sony would have the money to create that infrastructure. Maybe I'm wrong. So that is interesting. But yeah, them even doing cloud streaming at all, they definitely got something going. Remember Gaikai? I do remember Gaikai.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I tell the story all the time. We talked about Gaikai for so goddamn long.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah. And so going back to this Xbox thing here, like it's funny that they name drop the Samsung smart TVs, right? Like the last couple of years at Summer Game Fest, I always take the demo to see the cloud gaming that Xbox is doing with them just because I'm interested in that type of tech and what they got going on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
And every year it gets so much better to the point that like, yeah, last year, just go sit there. hit A on the game, and it just starts playing, and you're just in. And that feels like magic for the type of games that we're talking about. That was the Game Pass stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
That was stuff that we now are just used to, everyone's been using and understands how well it works for them or doesn't work for them, anything in between. This now being games that you actually own, Again, it's just a major step forward. I feel like this is huge because this then becomes a new standard.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
In the same way the last couple years we've seen cross-play become not a feature but an expectation. I feel like this is the type of thing of the future of video games and also the preservation of the past to some extent as much as we can with digital things. At any point that stuff can change. But being able to play your library of games the way you want to where you want to, that's huge.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
And the fact that they're investing in it I think is... is awesome and it's only going to allow more people to be invested in the Xbox ecosystem, playing Xbox games, wanting to invest in services like Game Pass because there's other services that they can trust.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I think there should be a cost associated with services like this because there's such a crazy cost to be able to make sure that they run well. I think that there's a product here that I do feel deserves financial backing in a way that I do think that opening it up to everybody, I think that that is like... There's potential concerns there of...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
My biggest thing with the movie is I just think that everything I've seen in the trailers, it's ugly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah, I mean, okay, that's the thing. If we're talking about just different tiers of Game Pass, I mean, I don't know. This sounds to me like an ultimate feature. This sounds to me like a premium, this is what you're paying for. If they're going to have an ultimate tier, I'm not necessarily saying that they should or need to, but if they're going to, I do think this is the type of
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
A feature that makes sense there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
That like I feel is, and I, I'm a broken record at this point because I think I've even said this on Games Daily. But, like, I saw a behind-the-scenes thing that so much of the sets were practical.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
This episode is brought to you by Sonic the Hedgehog at Topgolf. Y'all, when you take one good thing and you take another good thing and you mash them together, that is when magic happens. Kinda Funny loves Sonic the Hedgehog. Kinda Funny loves Topgolf.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Created for players of all skill levels, which is great for me, Topgolf meets the fast-paced action of Sonic in this new in-venue game where players go head-to-head in iconic virtual Sonic environments, Green Hill Zone and Sky Sanctuary. You can play as four iconic characters, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, to hit springs, collect rings, and destroy badniks.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
And I'm like, they look gorgeous. They look stunning. Amazing. And then you see them in the trailer and it's like, why did you add all this nonsense on top of your beautiful sets? That makes sense. It just looks like shitty smudgy filters. Like, I don't know, man. I don't know. It's a musical, though. So, like, I guess. So, I want color.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
most people are kind of funny have aura frames at their desks and it's always so fun to walk out in the studio and see what memories they have displayed it's a great gift for your parents or grandparents and you can even surprise them with their gifts being preset with your own pictures and if that's not personal enough you can even upload a video message to play on the frame as soon as they plug it in so the first thing they hear is your voice and how much you love them

6?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah. What games were that? I could be wrong. What games were that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Interesting. I'm gonna put my hater hat on. I don't have high hopes for this. No? No. Not at all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
So the Steam Deck's fantastic. The Steam Deck is an amazing piece of hardware. I do not like the button layout of it. I think that is probably its biggest flaw, personally, for me. Button layout, as far as where the buttons are. Just exactly where the buttons are. Yeah, exactly. Overall, though, not the worst. I don't want to act like it's terrible, like their last controller was.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I'm just saying like going in, I am very hesitant about it because what I've seen on my, this does not look like it's it. But everyone that's seen it that I know is like, Tim, it's freaking good. Reviews are great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
The actual Steam controller.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
It's important. It's important. But here's the thing. You look at that. You even look at the Steam Deck controls that I feel like I have a bigger problem than most people do with it. But I'm not alone. I know I'm not alone in my thoughts on the control layout for this thing. But then you also add every single thing said here. So there...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
insisting the trackpads are on this controller, which, like, interesting, right? Like, I guess that could make sense. Like, if they're not going to be there, then just buy another, an Xbox controller and play on your Steam Deck or whatever. So, okay, cool. I get that they want that functionality. But symmetrical sticks? See, I fuck with it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
But I'm also a stickle that prefers the DualSense, right? Yeah, but I don't think it's going to be that, Les. No? I think it's going to be a Wii U Pro Controller situation where the two symmetrical sticks are up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I think so. Please don't. Don't do that. I don't like that. Read through this and think about it. Think about their trackpads. Think about them saying symmetrical stick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Can you bring up the Wii U? Wii U Pro Controller.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
The face buttons and D-pad are to the left and right. They're, like, in line. Yes, you're right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
So I just had the 64 Majora's Mask and Perfect Dark. They all needed it. Or at least this seems like one of those games that would have needed it. People are saying I don't think so. So yeah, I don't know. But this is a game that I was very hyped for. And there was a reason I didn't buy it. And I never had an expansion pack.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
And I was like, fuck that. Wait, wait, wait. Stop, stop. That's not what you told me. You told me that Mike said it was good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
You know Mike. Yeah. Let me just let y'all know. This is the level of quality standards we're talking about going into a trailer that Mike said is good. It's as good as the movie that he fell asleep in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Game Showdown, baby.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I question if that's the case. And if instead it's the worst case scenario and it's people like us that don't know, but we see some things and we're like, oh, that seems right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
He does craft the sword.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
The children yearn for the mines made us all laugh. Yes. Like, actually laugh. So, okay, there's something here. But then the trailer kept going. And I feel like it kind of lost. Like, this part of the trailer. This is where they locked in the trailer. This doesn't look horrible. And, again, this is not a movie. See this right here? This wall of items? That's cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
What a novel concept. That's cool. Yeah, I don't know. This obviously is not made for us in multiple ways. We didn't grow up with Minecraft. It's a kid's movie. I don't think they're trying to pull it over on people of like, oh man, adults are going to enjoy this too, you know? Sure. So I don't think this looks... I don't even think this looks bad. I'm going to go that far. I agree.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I don't necessarily want to see it, but... Good for them. I think this is a substantial increase over the last time we saw this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Big moves that you made. I'm filled with thoughts on this one, Bless. Yeah, because looking at it and hearing what they're saying here, I really feel like this is the type of announcement that needs to come with the answers to these questions of it's unconfirmed whether it will include cross-progression of any kind.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Like, that's the type of thing of like, all right, I feel like we should know that for something that could be as substantial as this, right? This is potentially absolutely huge for mobile games, Final Fantasy XIV players, and potential Final Fantasy XIV players. But do they connect? Is this literally just a different, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Is this like an old school mobile version of a game that's going to be lesser than in a world where the first two stories of this, we're talking about cloud gaming. We're talking about being able to play console PC quality games on mobile devices. Like there are ways to play Final Fantasy 14 on your phone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
The actual Final Fantasy 14. I don't know. This seems a little bit weird to me without knowing some more answers there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Either make it connect directly where it very much is the same experience to some extent, or make it so different and have the connection be either worth it or you don't need to bother with it if you don't need to. You know what I mean? Like, make it a game, like, because we've seen so much success on the mobile game side of... Like Call of Duty Mobile or, like... Exactly, Call of Duty Mobile.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
But even that, that does connect, right? I don't know. To the big Call of Duty progression system? Well... That's a bigger question.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Genshin Impact does connect.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
That sounds like some villain shit. And I hear it and I go, you're telling me I can play Pokemon outside?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
So, Bless, there's this thing here, right? My little daily research task that I have to do. This one here says scan this thing, and I get a rare candy. It's the AR mapping. So what I need to do is I need to go to this Pokestop, and then I need to scan the Pokestop. And for about 20 seconds, I need to walk in a circle around the Pokestop from different angles so they can know what's going on here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
So the next time they're like, what's the church look like? They're like, oh, Tim scanned it. I love gameplay. And I'll let you know. It's one of my least favorite features of Pokemon Go. I hate doing this task. I most of the time do not ever do it. And that's because it takes way too long. Having to upload the data takes way too long.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
And walking around something filming it like this makes people uncomfortable. Every single time I've done this, people are looking at me like, what the fuck are you doing? And I have to tell them, I don't know. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

So they're talking about the AR here, right? So you put on AR glasses and then when you look at something, you can see what it is, where you are, the longitude and latitude of where you're at in the play. It's all just the dumb little shit, like the heads up display stuff of like, you look at something and it translates the language.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I feel like that's probably the most common use case today in ways people actually use this, which is freaking crazy. Even the Ray-Ban meta glasses, you can just look at text that's in Cantonese and it translates it to English.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

So Mike's going to teach you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I think it's more for their stuff, as we've even seen them, how they've advanced from Pokemon Go to Monster Hunter now, which is such a gigantic increase. It's an insult to Pokemon Go players.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
That's where they started and that's where they're finding major success via the game implementation of AR. They're straight up saying what this is going to be. It's AR...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
help yeah like once the glasses again that we're here like they exist and they are very cheap uh so they and they don't look like google glasses used to look where it's goofy as fuck and i'm not even talking about the apple vision pro vr experience like ar is actively here and this stuff is going to just continue to give it more features and in a way that we've always talked about vr where it's like you need the killer app you need the reason you're actually using this and getting people in i think ar is a lot simpler and just there's use cases that people already have
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
that they need.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Here's the thing. We can cut the music. This is very serious. This is very important stuff for us to look at here. Bless. We got some important Sonic bullshit to go through, okay? I have four tweets that I want to go through one by one. Very excited for this. Starting with number one. We got new character posters. Oh, let's go. Character posters for Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
We have Sonic, we have Shadow, we have Knuckles, and we have Tails.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Idris Elba is Knuckles. And Colleen O'Shaughnessy, the actual voice of the games of Tails, as Tails. And they look like this. We've just won. All right, Bless? We have just freaking won. Let's look at the second picture here. Very excited for this.

PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24

PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah. So it's so interesting. James Marsden still doing it. Kristen Ritter is just like another like soldier. Army person. Gun. What if?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
No.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Never say that again. I'm with Barrett. Imagine Sonic giving her a little smooch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
But if you can go to the third image here, this is just a zoom in on what the bigger picture was, but it's very important to look at. Because we have not one, but two instances of Jim Carrey in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Of course, we have him playing him and his grandpa.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
So there's the grandpa cool. But if you can go back one. They really went in on that makeup. They did this. He looks exactly like Eggman. Look at his jacket. This is his jacket.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
That is Dr. fucking Eggman, yo. And now here is where this all ends, bless. The fourth image here. We have... Animation on the Twitter streets. Blowing my mind here. Saying, guys, hold on, hold on. Maddie, this character, is wearing pink. In Sonic 1, she wore yellow. And we got tails in the post-credits scene.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24

PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Come on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
No, I don't. I think that all of that stuff, first off, next year I think is too early. I also think that I'd be very surprised if we get those things implemented in 2020.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
a playstation portal product anytime soon yeah that feels a little bit more far out because i i mean i would love that my god that would solve every honestly what you just said here like the hertz wi-fi 7 hdr oled like that would make the playstation portal essentially perfect for how much would that cost though i don't think that these things would add that much cost that's the thing i'm a little disappointed that the original one just didn't have these already um so
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah, I just don't see them. I feel like they want to keep the cost as low as possible for this product, and I also think that these things don't necessarily mean nearly as much as they do to me, to the general public.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Only four games required the expansion pack. Donkey Kong 64, Majora's Mask, Perfect Dark, and Dinosaur Planet. I don't recall Dinosaur Planet. Dinosaur Planet is what turned into Star Fox Adventures. Oh, yeah. I don't think Dinosaur Planet ever even released here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I got that notification as well, Barrett. Oh, actually... That's what got to my house yesterday. Fuck, I didn't open the package from PlayAsia.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I haven't told you this or shown you this yet, Barrett. I bought the 25th anniversary Digivice. It's fucking sick. I need to bring it in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Thoughts? This is big, man. Jeff C. also super chats in saying Portal 4.0 update has fixed the remote play micro stutter. It's now perfect smooth, 59.94 hertz. Wow. A lot of little things coming together. I feel like this is a major step and a huge step that wasn't necessarily expected.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
But them doing it this way, I feel, might not be the end all be all, oh, now it makes the PlayStation Portal worth it for every single person on the planet. I don't know that we're ever going to get there. I think gone are the days of the PlayStation dedicated handheld.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
But I do think that these devices and the ability to stream both from your PlayStation but also from a cloud service, that is something that is going to get adopted more and more. We're already kind of seeing that. And the fact that PlayStation has... Seeing the success it has with the portal, despite the initial kind of market feedback to it, the sales are great for them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
So much so that they put out the PlayStation 30th anniversary edition of the portal. That was a sign to me of like, wow, this is way bigger of a success than we even anticipated. Like to make a niche product like that, obviously they want to deck out their entire line of accessories with the 30th anniversary stuff because they know that there's a market there for all that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
But the Portal, to me, getting that treatment, I just feel like that's a little bit different. That's different than controllers. I didn't necessarily expect to get custom Portals ever. So the fact that we are, I think, shows a commitment to the product line. And firmware updates like this, I think, are huge for it as a product. This also being a firmware update, pretty damn impressive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
This could have easily been PlayStation Portal 2 and all of us would roll our eyes and be like, what are you doing here? The fact that this is just a firmware update, I think is very, very, very cool and very great, especially with the Xbox news that we'll get to later that we've already kind of been covering of how they're handling the cloud gaming stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I would say no, because I mean, like I said, we're still not there. We're not ready for all this cloud beta situation. Yeah. stuff going on, right? That's why we're in the beta of it all. But it being a remote play device is what they marketed this as. Now, here's an important thing to keep in mind. It still is just Wi-Fi. So you're not going to get any mobile cell service on this thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
It's gonna be a good show. Good news stories, fun stuff to react to. It's gonna be good. It's gonna be a good one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
So you're not going to be able to play games anywhere. It doesn't make this a truly... go-anywhere portable device. It is still a remote play device that now has more features. I just think that what is cool, what this does open up, and again, we're in the baby steps of this, but they're talking 150 PS5 games, and a lot of the games that you mentioned here are some of the bigger hitters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
That is going to allow people, if they want, a... much lower cost barrier of entry into the PlayStation 5 ecosystem to play games. People can play some of these games for the first time. I mean, I guess the irony is looking at this, these are all on PS4 as well. Oh, except for Ratchet and Clank. People could play Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart without buying a PS5. They could just buy the Portal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I didn't get it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
That's the thing we'll have to wait and see. I wouldn't be surprised if because of what I just said, PlayStation doesn't necessarily want that to be the day one type thing. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes like a later down the line and gets patched in like a year later or something. I think the right move would be day one and market it that way and push the portal as a entry point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
It's way, way, way cheaper. It's what? Half the price of a PS5?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
I think that the 30th anniversary one was $220. And then, yeah, PS5 is like $500. And the Pro is even more. So, yeah, I feel like having another entry point to be able to actually play PlayStation games, yeah, $200. That's not an actual PlayStation 5, especially when we are talking about the hardware on the other side of Xbox of how they have really pushed this play anywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
And while PlayStation is adopting the PC side of things, I don't know if you saw this or if we talked about it on the show already, but they started adding PC icons on PlayStation games. So you know when you have a PlayStation game on your PlayStation and there's a PS5 and a PS4 version, it'll say PS5, PS4. Now it also says PC. Interesting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
So again, we're walking down a road that I feel is very clear. It's just we're very far from the end of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Am I crazy about that? Yeah. Which, I mean, if it didn't work that way, that would be insane. That'd be pointless.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Again, this is baby steps down a road that we're not at yet. And to your point of like, why didn't they launch this? It's like, I mean, clearly look like Xbox isn't even doing it yet, right? Like they're just starting there. If you own the game, you can actually cloud stream it type service, which is awesome. Like, I feel like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
The tech, I think, is outpacing the realities of where the people are. But when we start looking at the different Wi-Fi technologies of where we're at currently of Wi-Fi 7, but most people do not have that. Wi-Fi 7 is the niche of the niche. I would say probably less than 2% of internet users have Wi-Fi 7 router setups. Wi-Fi 6, though, is getting a lot more popular, and that is becoming the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
prosumer standard i would say but then even wi-fi 5 we're right behind it we're just getting a lot more advanced than a place that we used to be and there's it's never going to work for every single person for sure period but like that i don't think this is being marketed to every single person um but i do think that the market just grew substantially with this offering and like the potential uh interest from people in a playstation portal uh i think is a lot higher now
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's 30, it's 30, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Portal Gets a Huge Upgrade - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.20.24
That's 30, yeah. Yeah, because I'm 35, so it must be 30. Yeah.

Perry, it's going to be interesting. I'm very interested a week from now where this actual story lies. Noah Super Chat's in saying, regarding Helldivers, I don't mind the price for crossover stuff. What I don't like is paywalling the armor set with great bonuses and a new weapon.

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
$40. For my understanding of what you're getting here and you explaining it is, like, the amount of... Like, they're just adding a bunch of bullshit that nobody fucking wants because, really, they just want the two main things. That's bullshit, man. These prices are... That's... I understand, like, oh, hey, it costs money to make the games. That's... All very, very true.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
That needs to be built into the season passes. That needs to be built into like the things that have some type of affordable understanding of like, yeah, this is the cost of these type of games as they continue to be ever evolving live games. This is bullshit, dude.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Real quick. Tell me. Caleb says, I don't see how this is bullshit. It went away, but essentially saying you could just not buy it. I totally... We talk about it all the time? Yeah, you could just not buy it, but there has to be some level of understanding of the people that are making this stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
They need to... The conversations are being had, and there's a level of respect to your community, especially when you have that goodwill, that, like, yeah, people are going to be very upset when you put out these things with egregious prices. Like... that's the bullshit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Like the bullshit, you got to call it out of just like, there's no way that they stand by this being like, this is the value of this. This is what this is worth. It's just not. We all know it. I know you know it. It's not worth this. And they know they can get it. That's a different conversation. That's bullshit though. There's a level of like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Back and forth of investment from consumers to product of like... And I don't know. I get really upset about this shit because we run a business. And I think about the way that we price things and think about those things. And we talk about that shit constantly. And there's been so many times where it's just like, that's way too expensive. We should not be doing that.

Quote, "...it led us to do a bunch of interesting things, one of which was to not only tell a story with the young Steve Rogers who's still trying to find his feet, as opposed to the more seasoned guy that we've seen in a lot of the films, it also let us introduce a new Black Panther of 1943."

The development team, Skydance Games, is being led by Amy Hennig, the director of the first three Uncharted games. It led us to tap into all the things that I love, all of the wonderful tropes of World War II era adventure films, classic men on a mission movies, and all of that. There's a lot of intrigue in our story, a lot of twists and turns, fascinating characters, and interesting locations.

That was great. That was great, Barrett. Hedding also debuted new concept art from the game, which shows a glimpse at the jungles of Wakanda in Marvel 1943. Wakanda at this point in time is hidden away from the outside world and protected by this impenetrable jungle, she explains. They are non-interventionist, but events transpire that pull them into the conflict.

They have to protect their interests. The world is getting smaller. No satellites yet, but there will be soon. You can shoot down planes that maybe want to fly over Wakanda, but how long can you stay in the shadows?

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
I don't believe there's a chance it's next year. Beyond that, I think that there's a chance that it doesn't ever come out as a video game. Potentially, this is a short film. Maybe a kind of long film. You know what I mean? A medium film. God, that cape looks fucking cool.

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
It does. It really does. You don't think they'll change the name? I don't think the game comes out. The series of trailers they release under the 1943 Rise of Hydra name is pretty dope, but yeah. Anyway, here's hope in everybody. Before we get to story number three, though, I want to give you guys a real quick word from our sponsors. This episode's brought to you by Heart Electric.

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Heart Electric is an upcoming four-team arena shooter with a fresh twist. Outthink and outplay your opponents to ultimately come out on top in the battle for life-sustaining energy. Made by developers from the Battlefield series and Helldivers 2, Heart Electric is all about eliminating three other teams by dropping their energy to zero while keeping your team's energy supply high.

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
How you keep yourself in play is up to your own scheming. Take a direct approach and steal energy from other teams' bases or complete assignments while staying out of the spotlight. When one team takes the lead, do you communicate with the other teams and form a temporary truce? Or do you take advantage of the panic to launch a sneaky assault on the weakest link?

Sony recently confirmed that 160 million PS2 consoles have been sold. I already read this part.

Piscatella also said EA Sports College Football 25 now ranks among the top 50 best-selling track video games of all time in dollar sales. Really? Oh, my God. It's currently the best-selling game of the year in the U.S., ahead of Call of Duty Black Ops 6, which topped the sales chart for the second month running in November. All right. What? Like, obviously, sports games are huge.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Yeah. I actually really liked the Sifu one. I obviously would have much preferred a long, full-lasting. But it being like, I thought that they did a good job of getting the concept across in a very short runtime. I watched it with Gia. She enjoyed it. She understood. She got what they were putting down. I'm like, all right, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
They kind of did their job there for what I think Secret Level is trying to do. Um, I'm excited. It's getting a season two. I feel like so far from the quality of the ones I've watched. Sifu was my favorite and the other ones I was a little bit more like I could have definitely used more for Mega Man and Pac-Man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Now that we know it's based on a game coming out, that's kind of cool and interesting, but. I still would have wanted something maybe a little bit different for a Pac-Man short film, whatever. But yeah, excited that we're getting a season two. Love Death and Robots, I feel similarly about where I love it as an idea, but I don't think that it always hits. But when it hits, it's good, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Yeah. Mike, you know, obviously we're prepping for a kind of funny day, 2025, our 10-year anniversary. Lots going on. Obviously a lot of nostalgic lookbacks at the last 10 years. Great moments. And any way you cut it, when you look at the last two years, It's all about one man. Oh, Tim. Snowbike Mike. The face of kind of funny, man. You are the energy. You are kind of funny at this point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Well, okay, let's look at this. Mega Man, clearly they're okay working with Capcom. I have Onimusha top of mind, so I'm going to say that. Devil May Cry, I mean, we're getting the whole Netflix anime, but that'd be sick. Resident Evil, I think they could do something fun. Monster Hunter would be sick in that world. I like that. A ton of Capcom stuff there. Keep it going.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
I feel like, is there any Square here? No, but Final Fantasy would be awesome. I feel like there's so many possibilities. I would personally love to see them actually do a story based in one of the Final Fantasy worlds. Like that? Final Fantasy IX, getting a shorter. VIII, actually, I think VIII would be freaking awesome for this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
And VIII's a game that I don't necessarily think we're ever going to go back to with Final Fantasy, but it does have a fan base.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Story number five. The Game Awards first Game Changers recipient responds to hateful and disturbing comments accusing him of fraud. This comes from Ed Nightingale at Eurogamer. Amir Satvat was the recipient of the first Game Changers award at the Game Awards last week, but has since received countless hateful messages, disturbing comments, and anti-Semitic remarks about his wife. Motherfuckers.

Stop. Savitt received the award for his work helping laid-off employees across the games industry to find new work. The award was host Jeff Keighley's way of addressing the significant and unprecedented industry-wide layoffs, which he admitted the show struggles to address in a constructive way.

Over the past four days, I've received countless hateful messages targeting me personally alongside hundreds more on YouTube and Twitter, he wrote in a LinkedIn post. People have made disturbing comments about my family. I'm only not sharing those comments because they are disgusting, but I will share some other sample comments. My wife and me have been targeted with anti-Semitic slurs.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Several videos mocked my comments suggesting I sound autistic, riffing on it for their audience's amusement. Due to his work as a business developer director at Tencent, Safran has been accused of being some sort of agent or plant exploiting the community or that he's a fraud, he wrote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
However, he explained that his community work began in November 2022 before he started at Tencent in August 2023. Before this, he worked for Amazon, but again, his community work was separate. God, this is just ridiculous. It's very ridiculous, Tim. I didn't slash don't work on mergers or acquisitions at Tencent or Amazon.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
This stems from one innocent, erroneous mention of what I do in a Level Infinite article since corrected to show I only work on investments. He also has never laid employees off. They simply didn't mention Tencent at TGA because that had nothing to do with this community and they wanted to focus on how we drove this ourselves.

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
It's disgusting. But again, let's focus on the positive here. Great work being done. Amazing speech of the Game Awards. Very important moment. And I feel like at the end of the day, that is what wins out. Having said that, it sucks and is brutal for this man and his family to have to deal with this. People don't understand how... horrible targeted hate can feel.

Story number one. Helldiver twos. I want to let you know, Mike, that I thought you were hosting today. And you know how every once in a while Kevin slips a banana into the script? Yes. I was going to put a couple skibbities in there. I would have probably thrown it out there. That's right. Hell Divers 2's Killzone crossover has already sparked an outcry over the super high cost of items.

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
This comes from Wesley Inpool at IGN. Hell Divers 2's, it's really hard to do the double plural there. It's tough, yeah, yeah. Killzone Crossover confirmed and released today, December 18th, has already sparked backlash over the cost of its items. Part 1 of the Helldivers 2 and Killzone Crossover includes a Killzone-themed armor set, assault rifle, banner, cape, and player title.

Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Amid excitement that Sony has remembered the Killzone franchise exists over a decade since the launch of the last game in Guerrilla's first-person shooter series are complaints about the cost of these items. The new armor cost 500 super credits. The new cape, 310. The new helmet, 310. And the most egregious of all, the assault rifle, cost 615 super credits.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Oh, and all these items are only available for five days before they're rotated out of the store. It's worth putting these prices into context. I like that that's your takeaway. You better buy this right now. A thousand of these credits cost $10, real dollars, in the in-game store.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
One of Helldiver 2's premium war bonds costs a thousand super credits, which means that if you want all the Killzone items, you're looking at just shy of twice the price of the premium war bond.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Now there will be Helldivers 2 players who have super credits saved up after nearly a year of playing the game, and it's worth noting that you can unlock 300 super credits in Warbonds with your medals, or find them out and about by looting in gameplay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
But the fact remains that these items are also being sold for real-world money, and the pricing is unlike anything fans have seen so far in Helldivers 2. Meanwhile, the Killzone Assault Rifle has sparked renewed pay-to-win accusations from some in the game's community, despite it being considered a bit of a downgrade compared to already available guns.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
The Helldivers subreddit is already littered with complaints, many of which point out that Helldivers 2 is not a free game and so should take a different approach to monetization.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
uh greg miller a young man tweets out wait this kind of sucks war bonds cost ten dollars and have stuff like this credits to buy more stuff etc this is being sold piecemeal buy everything here it's about twenty dollars there's another kill zone drop coming in five days and you assume that's twenty dollars as well so you're spending forty dollars getting far less than a ten dollar war bond um then somebody tweets at greg the price of skins and bundles in every game and greg says right except for this game which i'm talking about uh and then in our slack uh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Greg said, so the thing to note here is that the rumor slash leak of all this Killzone stuff had is the Warbond, the $10 battle passes you buy in-game. Today, half of the Killzone content was added to the store, not as a Warbond, but a piecemeal for about $20. That's just repeating stuff. The audience is losing their minds at four times the price, blaming Sony, etc.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
I don't know why that was there.

Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
And now you, the audience, have to pick and choose what you want to do here. My gut tells me they reversed this. Just based on how Helldivers and the devs have handled Helldivers so far. I do think that this gets reversed. Am I crazy to say that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
I feel like this is your season. Adventures abound.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
But isn't it crazy because those are free-to-play games?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
No, I mean, I just think— So Call of Duty, Warzone, free-to-play.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Call of Duty, not free-to-play. Correct. Does Call of Duty have this level of— Yeah, Call of Duty has skins just like this. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
No. No. It's the pricing that I think is a bit egregious here. And I mean, infamously, last year, I learned about Fortnite's prices. I had no idea. And that shit blew my mind. It is upsetting. It is ridiculous how high these things are priced and how shady it is that they hide it behind some fucking fake...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
currency you know what i mean with some hard to uh decipher math you got to do to figure out how much actual money you're spending all that shady as hell and i get it is the way things are but it's still worth pointing out shady as hell right yeah the money wise when they hide the number behind some fake paywall yeah totally i agree with that that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
I don't know. Again, I don't think that it's a guarantee that they do, but I do think that the conversations are being had and that there is a chance that they come out with a, hey, we fucked up type statement. Refund people, change this. I don't know what that looks like, but I think that there is a chance. Having said that, there's also a chance they don't. And this is just the way things are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
And going forward, they're just going to keep doing this. And this is their new standard of, hey man, $40 titles can also have this because that is the ecosystem that we've created with these ongoing live service shooter games.

I'm going for my 10-year anniversary with Gia in February, which is crazy. We're going to Salt Lake City. Whoa. Which I'm kind of excited for because I've only been there once and it was just for a layover. So it was just like a plane landed. I was just at the airport. I'm looking out at these beautiful mountains.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
The chat seems very, at least the screen I'm looking at right now, is people very much just being like, hey, if you don't want this, don't buy it. Like, they're putting it out there. You don't have to. It seems like a luxury thing. So...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
I think there's good reasons why, though. There's the goodwill, which is a good reason. So far, they haven't been shitty like everyone else. Yeah, of course. The price of it being a $40 title, and also just like it... I don't know. Helldivers is different than a Fortnite or Call of Duty.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
We've lived in this world. We've lived in this world, but like the price of $5 for skins or something like that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
Okay. It's the price. That's fine. It's wild here. I mean, Greg's talking about potentially $40. That's the price of the game. Okay, let's take a step back and let's actually just talk about what this is. Mike, you play these games all the time. You also buy things. I buy a number of things. You are the audience for this type of stuff. Do you think $40...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Helldivers 2 Killzone DLC Receives Backlash From Greg Miller - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.18.24
That price point for what you're getting here for this game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
save whatever they can from a financial and power perspective i don't think that any of this story is good for the gamers good for the the devs out there that are uh most likely going to be displaced again at best with this otherwise just straight up not have jobs period because how many things are going to get shuttered from this
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
And that's the thing. They would not also include everything else because there's a value associated with those, but then people aren't going to buy at that higher, higher value because they're like, we don't want all this other stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

You're getting the Pokemon presents for sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I think you're right there. I think that is what the strategy here is, and it does add up and make sense. It's just very unfortunate because I don't think that that ends in a productive way for solving the problems from our perspective.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I mean, there always is, right? Yeah.

I might eat my words.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Yeah, that's very funny. But I feel like It'd be impossible for Mario Kart 9 to let me down. Like, just getting a new Mario Kart, whatever it is, I'm just like, yeah, this is gonna be... It's gonna be fire. That team, man, what have they been working on?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
They did Mario Kart 8, they did ARMS, and then they just kind of chilled and then put out the booster course packs, which, like... Which was, like, to be fair, a whole other game. Yeah, but also, like, the level of quality and work put into them was, like, dramatically less than the core levels in the game, so I'm like... There were some levels that had, like, the Yoshi's Island level.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
but yeah but i'm not even talking i'm not talking about like terms of like quality of like map design i'm talking about quality of like assets and like background elements and like the production of it like so hey i'm fucking hyped hey uh and then uh dexter writes and it says uh there is a possibility that there is no switch to imagine that's not a possibility
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Let's fucking hope not. And that's the other thing that I'm really happy about with the quote unquote leak so far. All of them look close to bezel-less. Because thank God. The launch switch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
The way people talk about the Wii U, oh, it's a Fisher-Price toy. I'm like, that's how I feel about the launch switch. That fucking thick-ass bezel. Fuck that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I mean, in a world that we talk about these games failing and, oh, why didn't they do this? And, oh, if only that, whatever. Here's Marvel Rivals being like, all right, y'all, we're just going to do the damn thing. And they've been doing it. And they're now being like, yo, we're going to continue to do it. It's just wild that Marvel's Avengers couldn't do this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
has a community for this week that is being fed yeah like that's the thing is like it has all the things that the game needs but also it has the community to back it up and to then kind of have this cycle continue and then just being like yeah we're going to continue putting our characters because y'all are enjoying this like this is great i hope that they can ride this as long as humanly possible because it's a good sign that there is space for a new live service game it can work when there's love and care put into it and when it's marvel's ip though
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
But it does. And they are, they are bathing in it, man. They are in that. They are using it to the best of their abilities. We are getting the fantastic fucking four. Like they're doing a great job with this. And like other people have the Marvel IP and they don't, they drop the fucking ball.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I'll never forget the Everyone Is Here trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. And as we were reacting, we realized that there was going to be 80-plus characters in this game. And Andy Cortez was like, and we only have time to balance four of them, sir. Good luck. And look where we ended. That's Smash Bros., though. That's a different game. I think that Marvel Rivals should be Smash Bros.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Smash Bros. to fighting games. is Marvel Rivals 2 eSports Overwatch, I think. Yeah, there's balance, for sure, but that's not the most important thing. But it is there. The core of it's there. It's not like they're just giving it up and not caring at all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
You're right. It's one of those like, oh, cool. Maybe somebody might do Marvel Rivals tournaments or might do, but that's not the point. That's not the fucking same way with Smash Brothers. That's fair. You can, but the balance, it's not unbalanced.

What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I'm pretty sure that the reason that we haven't even heard of the Switch yet is them preparing for this and like... I have just a lot of faith in Nintendo handling this all right. And I have been burned before. I have never been more high to low than I was in the final predictions episode before the Nintendo Switch.

After we got the commercial and after we got all that stuff, when it was just the night before going to New York and seeing the big presentation of the launch games and all that stuff. of the endless possibilities of what the Switch might have, and then seeing them introduce 1-2 Switch, and seeing them introduce Project Octopath Traveler and all that stuff. Some great games in there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Some awesome games. But the dream kind of died that day. That presentation ended with the best game trailer of all time, Breath of the Wild's big launch release date thing. But overall, that was a lot of not great news. I hope that doesn't happen again.

This isn't even a hot take. This is kind of just a reality. The battle between Marvel and DC, it's very different.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
At the end of the day, in terms of quality and all that stuff, I feel like there are examples. Dark Knight, I think, is better than any Marvel movie ever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I stand on that. Like to me, I'm like that. That is my true thought. So I'm not saying like this is true for everything. Marvel's just done such a good job across every medium over the last 20 years of domination that the amount of Marvel characters that mean a lot to a lot of people is so much more vast than DC has.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I feel like there's like a ridiculous drop off of characters on DC after like 15 or And I feel like Marvel has the Guardians level of just, like, every single one of the Guardians means a lot more than, like, the Justice Society of America.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
And you're talking about Green Lantern. I think that's an amazing point, and that's kind of the point that I'm making. So I think a Marvel rivals and like, Oh, a new hero every month with where we're at and what Marvel is, I think is, is a completely different conversation than DC for a multitude of reasons. Kind of looking forward to those DC movies though.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I didn't say that. I didn't say anything close to that. Like people are using Marvel, right? But I'm saying Marvel Avengers is an example of them using it wrong. I just love them. They clap back at you about Marvel vs. Capcom, which is a thing that I know you love. And I fucking love it more than anybody. And it's like, okay, cool. Also, it's a port of a game from 2000.

Incredibly scary times out there. Amazing to see PlayStation trying to help here. I think in addition to this, I saw a lot of people tweeting that work at PlayStation saying the PlayStation's matching donations that individuals are putting as well towards this.

My entire take, and we'll see, but my take on Animal Crossing is I personally think the best strategic move is to not launch with an Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing is your second wind game to get that second group of people in or sell a second Switch for your friends and family and partners. That second Switch being... No! No!

The thing that Nintendo needs right now, and I don't mean to be a broken record here, but what Nintendo needs right now is not... A thing that's like, oh my god, this is the most visually interesting thing. It is a clear statement to people that, hey, you need to buy a Switch 2. You need to upgrade. It's not the same Switch. This is a new thing, and it's worth doing.

And there's very few things that are going to tell the audience that the Switch won that. Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, and 3D Mario are those three things. Pokemon is the ever-present, every-couple-years thing. What's up with Za, man? What's up with Za?

I play for it all. I play for it all, man. Y'all are cray-cray, okay? If that's what you're saying... Put Smash Ultimate on the Switch, too, with all the DLC characters, because we're never going to get all the characters again, ever. But yeah, have Smash Ultimate, Ultimate, whatever the fuck.

What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
It's so funny because I was thinking about this today as well about the Switch 2 of like, I have so much fun predicting so many different bits about it. Like what games are going to show? Like what are the features? Like what's the release date? Like all that stuff. Speculating on the price, I have no interest in it. I just don't care. I just feel like we're just fucking saying shit.

But Final Fantasy, you know that shit's going to hit. When that comes out next year, that's going to be very popular for bringing new people in. Myself included.

Phil says, I had a dream Pokemon made an Unreal Engine game for launch. I laughed. I got upset. And then I went back to sleep. Why, Tim? Yeah, man. You know, I am so interested in what Pokemon ZA is going to look like. Like Pokemon Legends. This will be the longest in development Pokemon game we've ever had. Ever. Really? Yeah. It's wild. We've been getting these things like annual.

What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
So we got Pokemon Legends, which is confirmed for Switch. Yeah, Switch 1. Yeah, so it's like, we imagine it'll also be on Switch 2, or at least playable on Switch 2 because of backwards compatibility, but the more exciting thing is we're then getting Generation 10 of Pokemon.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I don't know. I truly don't know. I'm with you. It's like, I feel like we've gotten so excited. There's been so many, like, near misses. So many times where it's almost happened. But this time feels the closest to, like, there's more evidence than ever that it's going to happen. And, like, just so everybody knows, last time, Nintendo Switch 1, it was around 5 p.m.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I mean... We've speculated this thing to hell. That's the thing is I don't think there's much left to predict at this point. I think that it's going to be what it looks like. I guess my last thing is that I'm going to say. I've said it many times. I think we see Elden Ring in this trailer. Mm-hmm. The most important prediction, and this is more of me just hoping and praying, Bless.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
It's so funny because I know me and you, more than most, love Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to different degrees. But can you bring it up again, Barrett? I think a lot of it has to do with how much we also love Super Mario 64.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
That's so funny. Oh man. Uh, we also have the engaged family, uh, gaming saying there's a difference between secret layer drops like Ghostbusters and entire sets, Assassin's Creed and Final Fantasy. Uh, Also, Magic fans are notoriously awful. Jesus Christ. This video game, man. God. I love it. I got every single Pokemon there in the decks. Every single one. Good for you.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Here's the other thing, and I love it because I'm starting to see, I mean, I'm very much on, like, Pokemon Twitter in every way, so it's like, I don't know that this is actually, like, a popular opinion or if I'm just getting the things given to me. We all talk so much shit about how Sword and Shield looked.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
when it came out and like the wild area had some issues whatever barrett can you bring up some footage of sword and shield i'm sure sword and shield probably looks like the mona lisa compared to scarlet but there's just like the art style for it and just like the look and the vibes of the towns i'm like damn dude they were they had something like we had something special and nobody appreciated it at the time and it really upset me like even tim think about the opening town and how pretty like all that looked it was crazy
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Just, like, yeah, the way that the characters are, like, outlined even, like... Somehow, this looks even better than I remember.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Yeah. It was the wild areas where they tried to do the opening. That's where this game, I think, visually kind of really fell apart.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I'll never forget, dude. They just introduced it to Pokemon Go, and I hate it so much. Yeah.

And also what will happen. This isn't in housekeeping here. We're going to be reacting to the daredevil born again trailer. We're just trying to figure out timing and stuff. It probably won't be live, but it will post later today on YouTube and then on the in review podcast feed.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
It really, really does. Last week, we did a predictions episode for 2025, where Rod Stradamus every month predicted what would happen. And one of the predictions, I forget the exact month or whatever, was that Ubisoft is going to have some major, major changes, whether it's being sold off or dramatic shifts, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
And we all agree. Like, I feel like the writing's on the wall. I think so much is writing on Assassin's Creed Shadows being a hit to whatever metrics Ubisoft means or needs that to be. And I think that that is not going to be an easy battle.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
I don't think it's impossible, but I do think it's unlikely just based on the track records and everything that we've seen the last couple years, honestly, of Ubisoft. Them delaying it and all of that. Probably for the better. I think at this point, it's like, do not fuck this up if this is the last big swing. But what this story means in conjunction with everything I just said, I don't know, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
That's interesting. It seems shady. This reads shady. This reads like there's back-end deals or that they're preparing for the worst in ways that, like, at a certain point, it's like, well, it's better to be prepared than not prepared because if the writing's on the wall that this is not going to work out... Something needs to shift and change. Is this the move?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
of sense, specifically because of how big Ubisoft is. Ubisoft is unique compared to any of the other publishers out there where they have worldwide studios at a number way higher than even the big dogs, even the EAs, even talking about guys like PlayStation, right? Ubisoft is a truly worldwide publisher with dev teams everywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
The amount of people, resources, IP, bodies, buildings, every single combination, yeah, it is a Herculean-sized thing to be able to try to sell as one giant thing. So yeah, breaking it up makes a lot of sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
But I agree with everything you're saying except for the AAA part. I would argue that Ubisoft games are as AAA as it gets, and they're a different type of AAA than, like, the PlayStation Studios prestige games. But, like, I do think that you can't get more AAA than Assassin's Creed Shadows or even Star Wars Outlaws.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Quality, notwithstanding, budget, I mean, I don't know, but I would...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
bet that the budget of an assassin's creed is in the same realm of conversation as the call of duty games and the last of us and things like that like i think that maybe not one-to-one every single time but i do think if we were to tear things out i guess you're right putting the money if i'm looking at resident evil versus assassin's creed right like i'm sure yeah assassin's creed is still going to be very expensive compared to x i don't know compared to resident evil but it'll be it'll be competing essentially yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
Yeah, it's just, man. But, like, then you look at Ubisoft and all the things that they are and all the things that they used to be that they aren't anymore. But it is crazy how many times we've asked, what even is Ubisoft now? Like, what is it? And I feel like it's getting harder and harder to answer that with any level of positivity.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
And it always comes with either sarcasm or this, like, cloud of dread of just, like, ugh. Like, what's going to happen? What's going to happen? And it's now at the point of, when's it going to happen? Like, we kind of just, we see the writing on the wall here. And I feel like in the last couple years, we've seen the writing on the wall for many similar situations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going to Happen To Ubisoft? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.15.25
And one by one, they happen the way that we've talked about. And I think that while it's very doom and gloom, hearing news stories like this, reek of desperation, at the very least. And also, trying to make it work and trying to figure out how to

I don't think they show Mario Kart in the initial reveal trailer of the Switch 2 and not launch with Mario Kart.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
The only difference is that they also showed Zelda in that initial thing, right? Whereas Mario Kart was the only thing showed in this initial reveal for the Switch 2.

It kind of works.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
And they've been slowly building to stuff like this over the years. Like, they were the ones that worked on the fucking... I remember the return to Arkham collection for PS4 and Xbox one. And like, I like, I just love any excuses to be able to play those games on a modern console. But like there was, were a lot of criticisms of those ports or remasters of what was changed from the originals.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What’s Going To Happen to Pokemon GO? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.12.25
So to see them go from that to helping out with a game that looks fucking beautiful as a remake is very cool.

And I want to break that down real quick because I do think, and this, this is the reason I just went on my whole little preamble about like the circle of the headlines of all this stuff is because this is a perfect example of that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
We need to keep in mind and the audience needs to keep in mind when we have these conversations of how little it all matters and how much context matters and going to the source. Jason Schreier was not saying that there's going to be two announcements that are going to make people watching say, holy shit. He was saying, okay,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
us reacting because he knows that we react to the show he's specifically talking about the kind of funny crew right so i don't think that's much different because i do think we do represent a big part of the people watching community yeah if we get hyped about something there's a likely chance that people watching gonna get hyped about that thing exactly but i do think that that context was taken out of the the articles and stuff and i'm not saying that that's wrong who wrote this who wrote this the articles and stuff and i'm not
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
My point is, I think that that's just, we all need to keep that in mind when we're having these conversations about every messenger along the way. The context changes just a little, a little bit, a little bit. So then we get to this point where we're talking about, oh, there's going to be two major announcements that every single person's going to be super hyped for. And that's not the case.

Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
But like, I mean, dive into the meat and potatoes, Tim. What are these two things? What are the two holy shit announcements? I mean, I think it's Naughty Dog's next IP. Fuck yeah. I think that's for sure one of them. Acknowledge me, everybody. And I mean, you know, he was saying that, like, you'll see one or two teasers for games that won't be out until 26 or later, and...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I do think that obviously the nine dog one is one of them. And I mean, there's just so many, again, going back to our predictions or just going back to like things that we didn't officially predict, but we had on our potential list of like, there's a lot of things that fit that qualification. Like, I don't think it's GTA, right? No, but it could be. I mean, shock.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Yeah. That fits the bill. Yeah, that's true. It would be unbelievable. Half-Life 3 is another one, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
A game that we know exists. Every move that we've seen Steam make in the last year. Everybody's saying absolutely Half-Life. All signs are pointing to it, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Which it is, by the way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
We can't do this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I know for a fact Half-Life 3 is being worked on. Jordan Midler. He gave you an article right there. I... I... Will it see the light of day? What does that turn into? Who the hell knows? Half-Life 3 is being worked on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Well, Half-Life 2 had multiple episodes, but Half-Life 2 was 2004.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
2006, I want to say.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Dude, nuke them forever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
To be clear, I'm not the one predicting it's going to be there for sure. I'm just saying it is definitely more likely than GTA. And I also want to say, Bless, I'm going to say that it's... It's not a slim chance it's there. I feel like it is probably like, I'd say 25%. No. Okay. Now I think so.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I know, but what if they were trying to sell a hardware in living rooms?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
No, I don't. I think Naughty Dog's one of them. I think Half-Life could be the other one. I do not think it's that, though. I feel... Let me bring in some more context.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
yeah i mean season two of last of us is coming out right like that would be pretty relevant if there is a trailer that they're debuting that can make sense um also she's just a great performer so so her just announcing the best performers category Right? Best performance.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Yeah, so I don't know. When it comes to a lot of like, oh, these people are going to be here, I don't put a lot of stock in trying to correlate that to announcements necessarily. Because I mean, just traditionally looking back, I kind of feel like they don't do that, right? Unless it's like something that we know for sure. Like, oh, Ed Boon's going to come. And yeah, it's going to be Mortal Kombat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
We know that that's happening. But I feel like they spell that out a little bit more when it's that obvious.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Actually that wording I do think matters. So potentially that is a trailer or announcing. I don't know. I don't know. Main character in the next Naughty Dog game. Maybe. Now here's a question bus. Yeah. We are all so sure that tomorrow Naughty Dog's announcing a new IP. Yeah, we're all so sure. We're all so sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
What if it's Last of Us 3?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I feel like I have a healthy enough relationship with TikTok. Like, I would say I've probably evened out. Like, I TikTok maybe 10 minutes a day, and it's a nice 10 minutes. I see what I like until I see something I don't like, and then I bounce.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Yeah. Just with everything that's happened, though, with the show and with the factions and all that. Like, I do think that clearly things have shifted. So we'll see. I just want it on record. I'd be equally hyped for either Last of Us 3 or New IP. What are the chances?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I think they have it figured out. I just think that they don't have the content to back it up. If there was four PlayStation Showcases so far, only one was bad. The other three were bangers. And I feel like that's the thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Yeah, but I think that's just telling of, like, where they're at with the game development. I feel like we know we're due for a banger showcase simply because we know the teams they have and we don't know what they're working on. So it's like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
See, I just don't see it that way. I don't think they've had one bad showcase.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
But I wouldn't call them inconsistent. I'd say that there was like one misstep so far. If they put out another bad PlayStation showcase, then we're in a different spot. The fact that we had one bad PlayStation showcase, some of the other ones are some of the best showcases we've
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
ever had a playstation studios best teams announcing new games and like following up back to back like we had two showcases in one year that were incredible that was launched ps5 and i think that's what worked to its benefit but now we're looking at phase two of those studios and we don't know what they're working on at all yeah like there's like four five six different question marks and i feel like that's a showcase i don't think we're ready for that right now well my thing is
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
PlayStation Showcase matters. PlayStation's branding matters. They believe in all this stuff. The Game Awards is a different scale, huge thing. You don't need to put hella stuff there if you're a PlayStation. You have the one thing to try to be the headline. And especially for the 10th year anniversary of the Game Awards, you gotta be smart about who you're competing with.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Remember, the Game Awards is the and now Summer Game Fest, like, they're different than PlayStation showcases, Nintendo Directs, all the Xbox things, because anyone is there. Everyone. You're competing for Mindshare, like, on stage, actively, from everyone else. So I don't think... Whereas PlayStation showcases, you're even kind of doing that with yourself.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
But I think... PlayStation's not going to go too hard at this thing. Smaller things, I think, totally make sense. DLC packs, expansions, things like that. But I think we don't get more than one major PlayStation. Fair enough. And when I say major, I'm talking about Barlog's project, Druckmann's project, the big Insomniac things, something from Guerrilla. Fair.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Speaking of combining people that care about me and TikTok to some extent, TikTok shop specifically. So I don't know if you know this, Bless, but I'm pretty grinchy when it comes to holidays and stuff.

Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
That's crazy. Wild. Yeah, I forgot about that. Actually, it's so funny. There's certain things that we just predict over and over so many years that eventually it's like we will and into existence. But yeah, a new Uncharted. At some point, we're getting it. And at some point, we're going to know what Blue Point's working on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
What's up? We didn't, in our predictions topic, talk at all about Days Gone for Mastered. Yeah. Right? I mean, is that there tomorrow? Maybe. Yeah. Not that I care, but I'm just saying, like, in terms of PlayStation announcements of their presence at the show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
I was going to say then the like, you know, 15 CG trailers for games that look nothing or gameplay that looks nothing like it that we're about to see at the Game Awards tomorrow. You know what I mean? Last of Us is a heavy, or Days Gone would be a heavy hitter compared to the majority of things we're going to see at Game Awards. That's just facts. Define majority. Hold on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Majority of things, of announcements. Like the commercials? Commercial stuff, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm not even counting commercial-ass commercials. I'm talking about announcements that they make. I'm not wrong.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Interesting. I think this is another example of just an excuse to talk about Nintendo and Monolith as opposed to it being anything that's going to dramatically shift and change. We're talking about a vast, vast majority of ownership already with 96%. Now it's 100%. I literally don't think that's going to change much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
But I do think it shows an even growing investment and belief in Monolith Soft and what it means to Nintendo. And it's... Shame that their games. I think are such a blind spot for the kind of funny team Because like none of us here really have any interest in them or have played them at least not all the way through Except for Nick.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
That's a joke, but one day we'll get we got Nick Nick reviewed as you know Blade Chronicles X back in the day He didn't really I was gonna say do you play through it? No, he gave his review about it That sounds like something I'll make people mad. Yeah a hundred percent but that They've proven themselves time and time again. They've been there for Nintendo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
And I feel like when you look at the quality of games they've been putting out, even though we're not playing them, we always see the comments of like, yo, we're loving these games. Y'all are sleeping on these games. The DLC expansions people are obsessed with. And one big thing, Barrett, can you just bring up footage of Xenoblade Chronicles 2? Yeah. Just like these games are gorgeous.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
And we talk so much shit about how the Switch runs games because it runs games poorly. But you compare like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and the way the open world looks to the way that Xenoblade looks. And it's just like, how are these coming from the same machine? And it's just very, very impressive. And Model and Subject Fuel has an amazing...

technical understanding of how to meld the art design that nintendo's known for um with using the tech to like really eke out every single bit of juice from it that i do think is that nintendo magic when you look at a mario odyssey and you're like god damn this thing's beautiful looking but it's switch you know that that to me i think is just very very impressive but if you can go to like some open world stuff here like um

No, the Christmas episode where Angelica essentially convinced Phil and Lil to buy each other presents, or give each other presents, but it's one of those Twilight Zone type things where it's like they're giving away the thing that they need for the other present that they're getting. You know, one of those Catch-22 type situations. We kind of have that, but a little different.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24

I knew we were going to get a tree, and I saw an ornament, and I'm like, I need to buy that ornament. And then I did. And my plan was, I'm just going to put it on the tree, not tell G, and just see if she notices it. And it's going to be really funny. Later, weeks pass, and she talks to me. She goes, Tim, I'm so excited. I bought you an ornament, but I don't want to tell you what it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24

And she's like, how is that possible? I'm like, let's say it on three. One, two, three. It's Tim Robinson on a zip line from I Think You Should Leave. What the fuck?

Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24

Because I was also like, oh yeah, I guess that was a Rugrats story. No, no, here's the thing. Here's the thing. You are correct. You are correct. I never read that. I have only heard of that as a concept. Gotcha. But yeah, I also wasn't crediting Rugrats with it. It's all I have crediting Rugrats with. They always have a lot of like... Parody type story.

Banana Man would be great. Godzilla in Jordans, which is crazy because Godzilla, I mean, I can't believe Fortnite didn't get the original Reptar.

Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Oh, okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
If you want to look at that post, actually, there's context here that's important here. Somebody on Reset Era said, if it wasn't in the, Rick Sam said, if it wasn't in the early morning for me, I'd do the same. Debating if I should stay up or not, and Shinobi says, I would. This isn't a PlayStation Studios thread. That is something important to note here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
And then also real quick, I just sent Assets a picture. Barrett, if you could bring that up. Roger yesterday didn't watch Games Daily until afterwards. And I looked over and I just heard him giggling nonstop. And I was like, what's up? And he was like, Tim, I'm watching you and Jason on Games Daily right now. You're such a messy bitch as you ask if Jason has seen the rumors.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Me and Jason having a great time yesterday. We like connected yesterday. Like I've hung out with him a couple times, but I feel like we were vibing. yesterday. And here's the thing. I want to say this because I think it's very, very important.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
It's very, very silly that right now we are talking about something that happened on our show yesterday in terms of like, oh, it's the headline of a show, whatever. I just want to clear to everybody, this is what we do. Like this is the fun of all of this, like predicting and hearing things that might be there and all this stuff and reading way too much into it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Like we technically were the source of this story that then went on Reddit and turned into a thousands and thousands of comments, threads and headlines on many websites and all of that in the same way that we often hear other people go on other podcasts and oh, Tom Warren said this and Andy Robinson said that and whatever. And then that spins out and then there's headlines and we talk about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
We're all just happy. You know what I mean? Like, I just want people to understand that there's the serious side of the journalism and stuff. And then there is just this utter nonsense. So we're comfortable in this utter nonsense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
While that may be true, the point that I'm making is that it's fucking stupid that we're here trying to like all like figure out exactly what this game award show is going to announce because we're looking at it as entertaining content. We're essentially trying to spoil the content for ourselves before we even see it. Like, where's the dirt?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Like, who the fuck gives a shit from a journalist's perspective? But again, I want to sit in the fun of it all. It's fun to talk to our friends about video games and what may or may not be at the next commercial that we're excited to watch together.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Absolutely. In the same way that I spend hours of my week watching Simon Miller break down WWE Raw and SmackDown and do predictions episode of who he thinks is going to win and lose at the pay-per-views. It's like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
Everybody is incredible. Like, and you know, this is the problem with all of this of like, if that doesn't happen, then we're going to be very let down by the game awards or even worse. It leaks tomorrow morning.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
And just feels like this awkward kind of fucking like shadow over everything so that when we do talk about it, there's always this like, I mean, I think for the people that the leak stuff here, I think to the people that get disappointed, I still think that's on y'all, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
In terms of credibility of stuff, it's like the credibility is just the expertise that you have proven to have earned over your entire life of understanding video games and how they work and all that. You don't actually know shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
You don't do that. Right. Yeah. But anyways, it's very exciting because, yeah, where there's smoke, there's fire. We did our prediction, our full prediction episode for Game Awards on Gamescast a couple of days ago. I thought it was an amazing episode. We brought a lot of fun energy, fun predictions. And I do think very, for the most part, realistic predictions of things that could happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Our Last Minute Game Awards Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.11.24
And they were exciting. This is one of those rare years where I feel like we all kind of like put out There we go. A lot of very fun predictions for things that could be announced that legitimately could be there. And I feel like we're going to get multiple of them.

The Last Of Us Season 2 Trailer Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.07.25

Yeah. Okay, good. Yeah, not the game. The game sucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. His first game is going to be apparently Sonic 2. Because Sonic 1 is not on the Nintendo Switch Online thing. Sonic 2 is. Interesting. Obviously, I remember that. I can be Kit Tails. You know what I mean? Have you thought about a 3D Sonic? I haven't.
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
I think $399. Really? I do, because I think if you're doing $350 for the Switch OLED, this is the latest, greatest, even better. Not the screen, of course. I don't expect the screen to be OLED.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Yeah, right around when Ben was born, so yeah, a little over $300.

She's got to get paid.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
And that's where you would have to enter the mix and tell me what you think a good 3D Sonic for a three-year-old would be. I mean, probably Sonic Generations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Yeah, where there's smokes, there's fire, we always say around here, right? At least Tim does. And I think it would make a lot of sense. You know, you are Microsoft. You have Bethesda under your wing now. You want to make use of their IP, especially for not even a new generation, like two new generations, right? Since Oblivion was hot in the streets.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I think it would make a lot of sense to come out and do this and have it be supported. This is another one last night, like I'm talking about, where I was like, what do I want to play? And I like hovered over Oblivion. Really? Well, I've talked about, like, right before we went on break, I was like, maybe I'm going to restart Skyrim.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I was like, eh, you know, I've been there, done there kind of feel where I'm like, I never did Oblivion. I never played Oblivion. So I was like, maybe I do that. I don't know. Hop around a million things or whatever. But, like, the idea of if they were like, hey, we're dropping a remake of it, it looks modern, I'd be all over that. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
approachable one yeah you we would need approachable and forgiving because yeah even looking at sonic 2 right like i know it's gonna be he's gonna die a lot you know what i mean yeah that can be frustrating like you know uh the latest mario wonder right like that is so good in terms of like you know he is when he dies and he comes back as the balloon and i can get him or whatever like we can go through and play those levels very easily i know going back to any era is going to be more punishing than going forward

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Who knows, right? That's the thing. If it's not this and you're still third party, like, again, if it's a Microsoft thing you're leaning into, it could be a million things, right? In terms of you look through Game Pass and all these classic games and, like, again, I think you toss out... If you're looking for a game to capitalize on all this, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Like, there's been so many rumors of it, but, like, where is Fallout 3 remastered, right? Where is Fallout New Vegas remastered? Like, there's... These games exist on Game Pass and they're there, but... And they obviously saw quite the uptick in Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 with Fallout Season 1.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
But, again, if I'm Phil, and I spent all this money on Bethesda, and I have all this stuff now, it's like, that's great. I want something lined up with Fallout Season 2. Like, let's get a new game. Let's get a $70 game out there that we can say, hey, you loved that? Buy this. Or get Game Pass and get it for $10 a month or whatever.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Because I don't like JRPGs. I don't like turn-based combat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Let's stop. Hard stop. No, Barrett, I don't want to do a bit. I don't want to do a bit. I want you to be my friend and talk this out with me because it breaks my heart. It does. It breaks my heart. Persona 5, Metaphor, Octopath 2, Sea of Stars. These are games I play and I enjoy for 10, 11 hours, but then it's the idea of doing more of the turn-based combat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I'm just like, I just don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. What do I want to do? I want to grab a sword or a gun and wander off into the distance and fight this thing and get a question mark.

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I just also don't connect with this kind of you giving me the story this way. Like, I would much rather go play any other Western RPG or like that. So it's just, I wish I wasn't in this era. I wish I wasn't this guy. You know what I mean? But it's just like, I'm like, every time I'm doing it, I'm like, but I could be. Last night, I did the thing.

Witcher 3 is there, and it's on the thing. The only problem with Witcher 3 is just... It is old game, but they did the PS5 update, so it is the whole thing. It's there, and it is just the idea of, like, that is... I don't want Witcher 3's next playthrough to be the original Witcher 3 playthrough, which was, I did 30 hours, and I was like, I never got out of Act 1.

I thought about redoing another Outer Worlds playthrough.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Because honestly, that was the first thought I had too. Yeah. And I think that honestly has maybe not the best chance because I booted up a Link's Awakening last night. I was like, let's get somewhere different and do an adventure somewhere else. And it was just like... Outer Worlds again, like... I don't know. Maybe it would be the right fit. Maybe that would be the right thing.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Yes and no. I mean, yes. So does it do anything? Yes. SteamOS moving to all these different handhelds or starting to, theoretically, move to all these different PC handhelds is exciting. It's great. The SteamOS is amazing. When I play my Steam Deck, I'm constantly wowed at the integration between the Steam and everything else. I'm getting mouthwashing right now knowing it'll be ready to go.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
That's amazing. It's more the fact of I am... You know how much I love handheld gaming. You know how much I love remote play. You know how much... I mean, I'm... So many hours on all of these. I'm now... I'm just so lost. I'm such a babe in the woods of... Well, what's the best one to do anymore? Okay, so this is the S. Like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
So is it less powerful than the, but it's doing the steam, but it's like, it's got a good price point, but how is it like the amount of times I turn on a game on steam deck and it's steam OS, but it just doesn't work right because it's the steam and they want me to go.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25

He can go like anything he wants to like, and I'll be there. And again, this is cool for me as somebody who was the Sega kid growing up. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I was ride or die Sonic through the Saturn. So, like, I have my Sonic history.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Because that seems like the good thing, because I could then run the other OS on this one that can then get me my Microsoft PC games easier, yeah? Like, that's the workaround, because I still can't get my Game Pass games through Steam Deck OS without going to desktop mode and installing and all these weird things, and I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
somebody to make it so simple be done with it just here it is and i want and i so even this one it's just like you say you're not in the market for it i'm not either right like i have a steam deck but i don't have a steam deck oled and so like the oled isn't enough for me to pull the trigger on it but if somebody's gonna come out and say well no this will do everything the steam deck does it's only 500 it's got oled which i don't know if it does and x y and z there we go yeah

The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I was going to say, we should be careful. People are calling out a bunch of different stuff that Tencent is fucked up about. So I've known since the start of Tencent and their infiltration into games, people have been so worried about them and their influence. We're painting with a broad brush because what we do know is that we're very upset with America.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
And so it's way easier to talk about our fucking president-elect talking about wanting to invade Greenland, take back the Panama Canal, and invade Canada. So we have our own problems. So we're not throwing that out. We're not saying that Tencent's good. We're just saying.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Oh, yeah? Yeah. Started it up, and I was like, I just can't deal with this fucking story bullshit. Yeah, what inspired downloading Elden Ring? I'm looking for an adventure. There are so many games. This is always the hard part of the new year and why I think so many AA mid-games do so well at the beginning of the year is that I'm ready. I'm ready for Avowed. I'm ready for Monster Hunter Wilds.

Let's go. But since they're not here, you're like, well... What do I want to do? And I'm like, I want a new adventure. So I went through and started so many things last night trying to find something to scratch the itch. I'm in a similar place.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Yeah, me too. I had a lovely afternoon with it or whatever and I put it down and never thought about it again and moved on with my life.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I did. I reviewed it back in the day. I was low on it compared to everybody else. I enjoyed it fine, but I didn't think it was revolutionary or whatever. But I think, you know, It was a similar thing to what I'm talking about with Outer Worlds, where I jumped in with my character that I hadn't played with in however long, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
So it was like, oh, maybe playing through it and having it with who I was already and then laying off to it would do it. But I've also restarted Cyberpunk before, where after we did, I think I reviewed it and then you followed up with impressions or something. And you were talking about being the samurai. I was like, damn, that's pretty cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
I wouldn't start building a character that way and stuff, which was enjoyable. But again, cyberpunk's the one I feel like I'm done with. And I never loved Night City. I never connected with that world. I don't have the cyberpunk vision. I don't want to live in that world kind of thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Been there for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, have tried Greedfall before, and Evil West, I think I downloaded and tried long, long ago kind of thing. So none of those were hitting what I needed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
If not, why? I have played, in quotes, Outer Wilds, which was when it was the big hit, however many years ago that was. Jumped in and did multiple hours of it. And it's just the time loop, and again, the setting world wasn't where I wanted to spend time or whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Switch 2 Leaks Keep Coming - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.08.25
Respect what it is and understand it's super cool or whatever, but the slow discovery of what was going on and all that jazz, that's not what I want. One day I need to be locked in a room and play Outer Wilds. Yeah. Because I have...

Can I drop one super chat we didn't get to? Go for it. Engaged Family Gaming says, Super late, but I'm well equipped to give advice on kids' games. 3D games are hard until fine motor skills to move in a 3D space develop. I would hold off on 3D until you are more confident in his skill. I will let you know because, of course, my DNA mixed with Jen's DNA. Ben is a video game savant.

He's a gamer. We were playing Justice League Cosmic Chaos, which is a Diablo-like over there, and he's got it. He knows it. He's got it. Mario Wonder, he's got it, which I know isn't 3D to your point, but again, I don't think tossing him into an adult Sonic game where you're 3D-ing around is the move yet, but he is way further advanced than he should be.

Have you thought about... There's a type of makeup. I'm not good with the makeup. When you put on your eyebrows, that darkens it.

Anything I can get my hands on. All these Nintendo YouTubers out there. I've learned about so many. One's called Switch Stop. One's called Ninten-do-land. Oh. You know what I mean? Okay. And I don't know. I don't know the quality of these YouTube channels. I'm watching these things.

Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Yeah. Either way, I'm excited. I feel like whatever it is that they put out, I'm going to be here for it. I was excited for Last of Us Factions, even though that is the antithesis of the type of game I want to play. I just have that level of trust in Naughty Dog. They make experiences that I like, and yeah, go for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
yeah uncharted is a tough one just because they really kind of have done it all when it comes to that format and you can always go back to and do new things i'm again the same person that is saying i'd take this thing annualized but yeah that is also coming with the expectation of knowing what that would look like um i definitely think they could make it i'm not necessarily the most ecstatic about playing as the daughter from the little bit we got of her in the end of the game
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
um but also do i need to play as nathan drake again no not necessarily so yeah it's it's a weird one i feel like uncharted is just such a known quantity but that known quantity is fun like i understand the desire for new things and we obviously need new things to have everything continue but like i also don't vibe with the always wanting new things and not being cool with sequels and stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I'm a big sequels guy. I'm a franchise guy. And I feel like Naughty Dog thrives within that and iterating on the different stories of it all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I am listening. And yeah, it's just, it's I, I had that new console.

Oh, man, that was good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
The reality for me is there's no project that we can imagine Naughty Dog working on that I'm not excited for. And I mean that. In the sense of, like, if it goes back all the way to Crash, yeah, I'd be stoked. That ain't gonna happen. Jak and Daxter, I'm not the biggest Jak and Daxter guy. I would love to see what this Naughty Dog team can do working on this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And I understand that that seems like such a giant jump, but... There's a level of love and creativity and passion for video games that Naughty Dog has that imagine them applying that to a different skill set. It could be so, so cool. I think of Retro, who made the Metroid Prime games, and then the Donkey Kong Country Returns 2D platformers. They're some of the best ever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
excitement you know it's like it's right i'm thinking about all the accessories i'm i'm planning out my room all the changes i'm gonna make all the cables i get to buy i don't need to buy but maybe i do you know yeah it's just exciting times i know i know that you are also excited i know you're not traditionally the biggest nintendo guy but i feel like this one is kind of
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And it's like, I can't believe those are both made by the same team, except I can because I see the vision. And I feel like with Naughty Dog, it's the same thing of everything they know now going back to a Jak and Daxter-like property could be very interesting. I don't think it's incredibly unlikely.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Everyone said that about Crash Bandicoot, Greg, back in the day when I was just like, save the goddamn Bandicoot. And then he came back and made millions upon millions of dollars. Some say it's why Microsoft bought Activision for the billions they did. And while that's not true, everything I said before that is.

Yeah, and in addition to this, I was seeing that multiple people that are within the company of Microsoft have in various forms stood up and been like, hey, this is wrong. Stood up for the closure for apartheid movement and got fired. And there's a lot of internal struggle with all of this, obviously, because we are talking about genocide. We are talking about
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
horrible things going on and how the company's systems that these people are working on are creating these these problems and it's it's just so rough like obviously my biggest touchstone is entertainment because that is the type of stuff that i consume and i feel like i've learned a lot about
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Jess, the way that people work and the world can work and coming fresh off of Andor season two in particular, it's rough to hear this and see that like in real life, like obviously all the dumb cartoons and shows that I'm watching are based off of real life struggles that people are going through. Yeah. This is just, it's so unfortunate to, I mean, to really make this some basic ass shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
This is Iron Man 1 stuff of like, there should be a realization that, hey, the things we're working on are for bad. This is bad. They're being used for bad. Sure, they might be being made for good, but they're being used for bad. And we're kind of just allowing it to happen. And that is resulting in the death of so many people. And it's going to continue that way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And it's like, this just... It sucks. And it does feel like the normal thing of like, who the fuck's this guy talking about it? And I know I'm nobody. And you are too. We're different types of nobodies. But it's like, we should at least be aware that this is happening.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I think Ben's going to be really upset when we don't get the Switch 2 edition of this one. So I don't know if we're getting the FPS boost that we need.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I think that boycotts, as always, I do feel like can cause results. I don't think that they do cause results. And I think that even talking about boycotts, and if you are the type of person that is inspired by that, and you believe in that, I think that that is how that stuff happens. Personally, I don't. I never have. So that's kind of not my vibe. But... go get them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And I'm happy to talk about it. Cause if you hear that and you're like, yeah, that sounds like the right way for me to have my voice heard.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
You're naming all the things that aren't even getting anything new, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Really well. Obviously, I do think we'll eventually get an OLED screen. I'm hearing a lot of stuff, a lot of excuses and why we're not getting one right now. I'm not loving them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Apparently, a lot of it does just have to do with tech and the quality of variable refresh rate and things like that with OLED on a screen that size to get it to be the right price for where they want it to be for the Switch 2 launch. Very upset by that. I don't need to repeat myself. You understand my feelings.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
However, I will repeat the fact that in my experience with the Switch 2, I've been very impressed by the screen that it does have. And I actually don't think this is going to be so much of a detriment as much as it would have been nice. It would have been that much more perfect.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
It is kind of bizarre that they didn't port it. That feels like the type of game that's exclusive for a while, but then definitely makes its way to the other consoles, right? I understand business and blah, blah, blah, but at the same time, Marvel Ultimate Alliance does feel like a multi-platform title.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
But what I am more interested in talking about is this 20 million Switch 2 consoles could be sold by March 2026 if Samsung is manufacturing chips for it. I think this is going to happen from everything Doug Bowser's been saying. He feels like they should be able to match the high demand better than they have in previous console generations for... people wanting to switch to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And if they can manage to do that, I think they're going to be in a very good spot where obviously a lot's going on in the world. At any moment, things can take a horrible turn for an even worse existence than we're currently in. But when we look at the year one, not even year one, this... 2025 calendar year for the Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
They have a really nice cadence of monthly releases and reasons to get people in. And I think that they're clearly looking at this as a strategy of like, alright, cool. Mario Kart's the biggest thing ever. Let's launch with that. But Donkey Kong being the month after that, it kind of gives that second jump on points and allows people to have a little bit more time to
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
either save up money to buy the game because they just spent $80 in Mario Kart World, or just continue to have new jump-on points for the Switch 2 as we go on throughout the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And a lot of them are double-dipping, triple-dipping it back into Nintendo's catalog, but they've always done that, and Nintendo's proven time and time again that people are willing to go back and pay again for a game that they loved. But then also... it's going to be a whole generation's first time playing some of these games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Like they're going to be millions of new people playing breath of the wild, which is the kingdom for the first time, uh, on the switch too. And so I think that having the lineup that they do, whether it's the Kirby and Mario party and a switch to enhance games, but then the big new games coming out later, like Metroid prime four and, um,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Pokemon ZA later in the year those are going to be very big to different audiences and I do think that they're going to continue to sell this thing out my question is is it going to be Wii status sold out impossible to get where it's like kind of bad because this is the time for Nintendo to get these things in households
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
You know, if they can get 20 million in the first year, that is like such a nice base to be able to count on and having the adoption rates of games. And they've continued to show that they have that. And every generation has gotten stronger and stronger in terms of, man, they put out the banger first party games. People are going to buy them in droves to the tune of 10 million.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Like I was even looking at sales numbers a couple days ago, as I often do. and Mario 3D All-Stars.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I mean, we're coming up on the Mario 40th. I got Switch on the mind, Greg.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And it's like 40th anniversary of Mario is coming up this year. For the 35th anniversary, they made a whole bunch of announcements back in... five years ago, and that was where they announced Mario 3D All-Stars with the very bizarre release strategy of, hey, it's only going to be out in stores for less than a year. It sold almost 10 million copies. Goddamn. You know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And that was a half-assed freaking collection, like, by any metrics. Yeah. Didn't include Galaxy 2. No widescreen support for Mario 64, which would have required tinkering, but it could be done. We've seen it done on PC. uh, legally or illegally. I'm not exactly sure.
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, yeah, Mario sunshine. There's just like a bunch of weird ass little quirks about this thing. 10 million copies sold. If that's the case for a game like that, the way that it was released, uh, If you have $20 million in your first year, you could just get that thing going. I might sound crazy right now, and I might be crazy. We just did our 10-year time cap.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I truly believe that the switch was lightning in a bottle, and I don't know that we'll ever see success quite like that again. But I remember saying that about the Wii.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
you know yeah and the wii u was the worst follow-up to that possible yeah the switch 2 i think is in such a different place like i honestly believe that if nintendo just makes enough right moves in a row and i don't think that's that far off from accomplishing this i think the switch 2 is going to undeniably win this console generation from whatever metric that actually matters
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And I think that it has the potential to redefine what video games are to the majority of people playing video games. Maybe not the people listening to this show, but the majority of people playing games when the new, like when a Witcher 4 comes out, if it's on Switch 2, where are people going to play it? I don't know. I do know Switch 2. You think so? I think they will.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I think that the mainstream understanding of this thing, there's potential. I'm talking about they need to line up to make this happen. And I'm using The Witcher just as an example of a big multiplayer game. Obviously, that is a very big...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
graphically intensive game is probably going to be very very high end i also think that we're at a point that games need to run a lot lower end things to be able to make their money back and let's with the support the cd project red's already shown for switch 2 and how we'll see what the reviews are we'll see how cyberpunk ultimate edition actually shakes out but every single preview every single thing about it sounds glowing as fuck it is not the best way to play it but i do think it'll be the place the majority of people play good enough many games gonna be good enough okay
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Yeah. We'll see. I'm stoked, man. I just want 4K menus, and I'm getting them. It's going to be really nice. Nice. That'll be big for you. I hate how blurry it is.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Oh, we were just doing it in our production meeting. We were just like, well, hey, we're all going to be playing Switch. We all play Switch together, and I feel like that's the vibe. Okay. No confirmation yet, but I do think there will be in some form.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I mean, let's assume he was, right? I don't think that we should assume he wasn't. He signed off on this, and if you don't know what that means, then you shouldn't be signing off on things like that. But I'm saying all of this just from the perspective of, yeah, individuals, though, do not get to just make these decisions without it affecting other people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
So it's like, even though you are cool with it and your family's cool with it and you want that cash money, Skrilla, Skrilla, I get that. But also, it's going to really affect so many people losing jobs, not having jobs, just having to deal with this stuff. And then also, have you seen the videos of this, Greg?

Let's be real. Like, there's a conversation that needs to be had. What is going on with Xbox and the Activision games? Like, again, I understand timing and all that, and they have had a lot of dominoes falling, Greg. They do, legitimately. No jokes at all at this point. But, like, they have this treasure trove of bad catalog stuff, and, like, I don't know.

I was just checking this out. It's pretty cool. If you scroll down, Kev, there's just like a lot of different designs on what the Pokemon logo could be. And it's wild that Pokemon's become obviously one of the... It was almost metal. But even like the logo has been on countless products, right? So it made so much damn money. But it's just cool to see the sketches that kind of eventually got there.

It reminds me a lot of sitting in Nick's apartment back in the day, coming up with Smiley, you know? It had to have the exact right proportions. And then Andy eventually saw it and was like, I don't like these proportions. And so he fixed it. He said, do whatever you want. And he fixed it.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
The birthday thing, I think, is so funny because like, first off, I don't know who they're talking about. This came up a couple months ago. It's so rude. They don't say happy birthday. It's like, we do. We do. And sometimes some super chats get missed. That's just how things go. But I think it's funny that anyone would call that out because it's like, we do. Like, majority of the time. Guarantee.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
It's just it's eventually going to hit a point where it's like... Not fun to even speculate about it coming anymore. You know what I mean? And I don't know that we're past that point yet, but we're getting real close. And it's a weird one where I'm like, last year I was like, oh yeah, it'll definitely be a big SGF announcement. And then it wasn't.

We should stop singing the song. Period. I don't ever want to fucking hear the song again. I'll be goddamn damned if I sing the song. I'll be standing in the back mouthing it. Faking that shit.

And now here we are going into this SGF and I'm like, will it be? No, I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Yeah, for sure. Millennium Wrestling. They do it every Friday, even if James isn't part of it. It's very fun. Very, very cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I didn't know that. The show's every Friday.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Yeah. James is only doing it like once a month or so.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Yeah. Uh...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Comedy store is great. It's actually worth going to. Super fun. Great way to spend a night. No matter what night it is, there's always fun shows going on. Even if you just go down and buy tickets for the later show, just hanging out in the little front area, you're going to see a bunch of people. Oh, I saw them in this sitcom and that sitcom. It's pretty cool. They're everywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
But like, I mean, they have so many games that they clearly do have the rights to that aren't there yet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Honestly, that is my argument. And we've seen them time and time again now really push for things to be deck verified day one. And we're talking about a piece of hardware that even if you combine all of the Steam Deck likes with the
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
rog ally and lenovo legion and all that stuff we were talking well under 10 million in sales and that's just hardware out there period and these teams are working for this because they know that there's an audience that cares about that yeah if the switch just works
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
and the games actually are playable and you don't need to worry about any PC gaming stuff, any Steam Deck garbage stuff, just boom, it just actually works. And not in a, oh, Mortal Kombat looks like absolute shit on the Switch way, but in a, oh shit, Cyberpunk actually looks pretty good. Final Fantasy VII Remake actually looks good. Like, that's all you need.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And I think that the recipe for success is there. A lot of factors have to happen in order for it to all go down that way. But I think that there is a higher likelihood than not that that is the future.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
That was all Activision really had outside of it. I can name another thing or two. We'll get them eventually. I mean, they have been drip feeding them, and I do understand the drip feed mentality to an extent, but I also really question how exciting the Xbox announcements of, like, these games are coming to Game Pass now when it's not the new stuff. 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
I wonder how much more exciting it could be if they were to package it in ways that kind of feel like they make sense. Like, we really thought they were going to do a big, hey, here's the Call of Duty drop that's, like, we're focusing on. Let's get the community back together. One last ride. You know what I mean? Themed things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
little by little done on a lot of shows. I am absolutely obsessed with it, but I'm very excited to have a full hour dedicated to just talking about the game. We're going to talk our reviews of it and then also get into some spoiler stuff as well, but we'll clearly delineate for it for those that care.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I am going through a lot of emotions at this point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
You'll love to hear that. Did you watch Last of Us yet, Greg?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
It's a whole thing. Well, you have a banger ahead, and this one directed by Neil Druckmann, so he's definitely having a little whirlwind week. I'm sure that's why some of these interviews are happening.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
um but this is exciting news uh for many reasons i'm a naughty dog fan i'm a fan of them working on multiple projects because bless now we're just talking a couple days ago maybe it was yesterday just about the generations in ps4 going to ps5 and how generations mean less than they ever did because the games are what matters and always have and we're kind of just seeing all the biggest games on ps5 mostly being games that are also playable on ps4
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
We are two weeks away from the Switch 2. My excitement reaching fever pitch. I have hit the points of my hype cycle where I am hopelessly just watching YouTube video after YouTube video of different people talking about the exact same thing. You know what I mean? My drives to work. I'm just throwing on Nintendo life podcasts. My drive back from work. I'm still throwing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
But at a certain point, I think that that might end up changing once we get to Sony Santa Monica's next game, potentially multiple new Naughty Dog, whether it's the big IP of Intergalactic or the Heretic Prophecy or whatever this other thing is. God damn it, man. Whatever. What was the little like... Thing to remember?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I-T-H-P.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
It's not going to stick. Not going to stick. But yeah, another project. I'm very excited about that because I do think that that leads to a very promising PS5 end of life cycle, kind of back-to-back rollout of bangers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Yeah, I do. I also think that it's probably a PS6 game as well. The same thing we're talking about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Yeah, it is. Also, we don't know what this is, right? And it'd be interesting to see how big or small the project is. I don't think this is a smaller thing, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Something about thieves. No, it wasn't thieves.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I would fucking pray for that. Like, God, I've said this on the review of Lost Legacy. I would literally take one of those uncharted side stories once a year. Sure. Add some fun mechanic. Here's rope swinging. Here's some shit I haven't even thought about because they're better than me. Like, every year, every other year, whatever it is, I get that at a certain point, annual does get tired.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
But if it was a smaller experience, I think everyone would be, not everybody, enough people, and I would be super into it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
I think there's no way around that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
And you've got to imagine Neil would be the one to direct that game. But maybe not. Maybe it's a co-director situation. I wouldn't be surprised. Neil does seem very collaborative when it comes to his projects.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
to exactly yeah so i do feel like last of us doesn't necessarily need to be directed by neil um but he could be an overseer on that yeah exactly doing little rubber stamps all that stuff so um especially with the amount of projects that he is working on at this point whether it's movies tv or i guess tv video games movies who knows right
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
So yeah, I do feel like Last of Us 3 is inevitable on the not sooner side necessarily, like next year, but within the next couple years. I would not be shocked if a Last of Us 3 is playable on a PlayStation 5. I don't think it's a guarantee. I don't think it's a guarantee.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog is Working on ANOTHER Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.20.25
Then otherwise, if it's uncharted, I think it's something we need to at least talk about. And I think that an uncharted game made by a director that Neil gets to be a bit more of a mentor over and the executive in the room. Yeah, that could make a lot of sense. Right. But I also kind of feel like that's what Lost Legacy was already. The Last Legacy was also a decade ago, almost.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
god you know it's such a hard it is it is and what's wild is that i i i'm just gonna say this with us practicing it that like i is a tweet that i saw yesterday that i can't even remember where i thought so i don't even know it's information from it could be completely rocked yeah but it's odd tweet it was breaking down capcom's uh... games of the last year did you see this now games in the last year breakdown by system is sold on a playstation intend on a box of pc playstation was wiping the floor with everyone else yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Like, combined.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah, I agree. But then this all just goes back to, and I get that I'm making points here that feel a little bit wobbly, but I keep going back to the Final Fantasy thing just because I'm like, What are you really gaining from that when you already have it now?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
They're already posting or publishing the games on PlayStation and it's already selling like with the majority on your platform like it almost just seems like But again, then you go back to well. They're not just doing it for from software. They're not just acquiring the inside there are This is also a major plus to that and which all of a sudden that makes a lot more sense to me
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Technically remember they were under Sony yeah, not under PlayStation that was like the the weird thing there But like are they under PlayStation now though well yeah, cuz remember there was like recent shakeups where essentially like PlayStation paraphrasing here PlayStation's like y'all fucked up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Oh, well, hold on, let's talk about the PlayStation Studio side, because I believe that the Bungie thing was a one-off attempt, and the idea was, okay, we're going to not have them technically be a PlayStation Studio, because this is an infrastructure play. They have the games as a service, live service, the infrastructure for that. We want to apply that to Last of Us factions, whatever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
We want to apply that to Helldivers and all the other games, Concord and whatever. Here we are now. with the beauty of hindsight, we're able to look back and be like, all right, I don't think they're ever gonna do that again. If they acquire another game company, it's a PlayStation studio. I think that's gonna happen, specifically someone big like Frump.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I love it. That's the energy I need on this beautiful Tuesday. Beautiful, beautiful Tuesday. Tim, how are you doing? I'm doing great. Doing great. Excited to talk about these news stories. Some wild stuff in here, you know? We'll see where it all goes, but it's going to be a fun talk for sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Now let's talk about do we think this actually happens.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah, man. It's very interesting, the idea of them wanting to buy them, obviously, if you want the biggest player of the game, game of the year contenders that we're talking about, you're gonna want that. united i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I mean, you're making good points. I just struggle to see it because... I just don't know that, first off, I don't know that PlayStation has the money like that. Sony is different, but even then, Sony versus Microsoft, Microsoft has different abilities because of just like the banks that they can just reach their hands into and throw money at problems.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
The fighting back, I almost feel like they don't need to do that because they're just winning so clearly. They're already selling droves and droves more than Microsoft.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
And when we're talking about even third-party games that are multi-platform, but then when there are exclusive things that they're making the deals, and then also just PlayStation exclusives like you're talking about, that obviously they want to get back to having those come out as frequently as possible. I don't know how possible that is, though, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
So, yeah, them having to fill it in, it's just, it is weird because it's like, all right, they had exclusive games this year in the form of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but, like, we don't look at that as a PlayStation Studios title because it's not a PlayStation Studios title. But it is an exclusive, so what actually matters here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Because I feel like your point of them filling in the gaps, it's like, well, they already have the From Software games coming out. And the thing that I go back to is Bloodborne. They had Bloodborne as a PlayStation exclusive from From Software. And that was a mega hit for PlayStation and for From Software.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I mean, I love, love, love the Edge controller. My only thing is, if he's into shooting games, I'm not the guy to answer the question. I feel like, Mike, you got any controller recommendations for shooting games on a PlayStation?

Well, here's the thing. I think the first part that pops out to me is the 1.8 million copies of Alan Wake 2 sold. That is less than I would have expected. Not by a long shot, but it is less.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
2.53 is kind of where I was thinking. So it's like, okay. But I mean, sounds like they're still investing very heavily in all of this. So it's not like they look at it as a failure in any way. So I guess that is good news. This isn't the square type of situation that's been like, no, I'm not hitting expectations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
It is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
What happened? But yeah, Control 2 being an action RPG, I get where you're digging at here, Bless. We're just like, what's this even mean? How are we defining these genres? Genres are stupid. Genres are stupid across anything. Whether it's music, TV, movies, games, it's like we're all just trying to bucket things just to try to have conversations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
We haven't figured that out. I know I'm doing it with him, but we're going to see who else wants to join.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
But no one's ever going to agree on how these things are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
So is God of War 2018 an action RPG? Yes, it is, guys. It just is. But it also doesn't matter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah, there is, but see that's the thing too. When you're talking about adventure, and we don't need to go too far into this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I mean, ah, God. See, the thing about the adventure, when you're talking about it in terms of genre of video game, it is very specifically referring to puzzles. And the puzzle style of things are like the OG point-and-click adventure games. So even adding action-adventure, it's just, all of it just starts over time, I think, losing its meaning. Which, again, doesn't matter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah, we're going to have fun. I'm excited to see Greg go off because I don't know what he's got planned, what takes he even has.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
okay which i don't think has to do with that i think that adventure is like puzzles in the way that god of war does have puzzles in it but that's the exact same what you just said is why i can look at things and be like yes it's an action rpg because the definition has changed over time the truth when i think action rpg my mind is now blank what do i think kingdom hearts kingdom hearts is an action rpg
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Oh my God, we're so cooked. We're so fucked as a people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Or we just don't.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
can we just talk about the games for what they do it based on how they play so it's a big way to look at this control to will be an action rpg i think this makes a lot of sense because i can imagine what that's going to be take control and out what would control of like it was an action rpg you're cool you have some skilled she has a skill trees for guessing the skill trees you know that you know and i'm coming in my own uh... focus on in the main character that can't be right now don't tell me actually don't tell me it is state jesse faded

She's shocking things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Oh yeah, no, but again, it makes sense though, because you don't think about it as like shoving it into a genre that has to fit everything else that does it. Think about what that genre could mean for the game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I don't think that'll happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Way more, the RPG side of it is more about the numbers and skills go up type stuff as opposed to the like, oh, you get to choose your own branch of story and your consequences change things. I don't think it's gonna be like that.

i have not left out okay well yeah i've been pretty sure it may be the control right monster yet you are saying that had gone skilled trees as a maybe that's not just because of the a bit more vital radio dot becomes a bit more like it matters more to the gameplay without a sense right like for that game before sequel to that game like from everything i know about it for everything like looking at what remedies drug building or they're trying to do like i i feel like dot a lot of sense i feel like

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
They're building a lot of faith in consumers to believe in this universe, and I think Alan Wake 2 was a major step there. A couple years ago, when they first announced Alan Wake 2, I don't think any of us could have understood what it was actually going to become. It was kind of like, oh, they're actually making a sequel. That's unexpected.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
We've all been waiting for it to be announced at some point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
okay, but now I think we're in a totally different place. Like Remedy people, like Sam Lake is becoming like a entity that people know and are like excited and waiting on bated breath for what's next. And so, yeah, I think that they, the onus is on them to keep delivering and keep pushing things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
And I feel like this is just like, oh yeah, we're going to make this, this very non-mainstream thing like Alanway 2 where it's like really like spooky and subverting dots and all that stuff. But then you have Control that I do feel like has those elements, but has that mainstream appeal. So how do we make it even more appealing to gamers that want a different entry point into the Remedyverse?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
And I think an action RPG is the way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Growing up, they used to call Ocarina of Time an action RPG. Just sit with that. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I mean, yeah, I think they could be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah, well, yeah. Which is different than Ocarina, I guess.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I mean, I don't know, you're different, like, tunics and stuff, like, change how much damage you take. And, like, what type of, like, elements and stuff can affect you. Whatever, we don't need to do this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Fun stuff. And, yeah, I mean, yeah, thank you for pulling out these categories because I do think that's fun. And I feel like, you know, coming up with categories that are a little bit different, I think then kind of can allow people to actually do what the point of awards is, which is get awarded for specific things. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
And then also for communities and audiences to learn something new and, like, to seek something out. And maybe these are different, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Brands of things that they're looking for more up of bite-sized games like that's appealing to me Yeah, I mean women-led games that can matter to you So you're like oh I want to support that I want to seek out these games that I might not have heard of like Really really cool stuff and also just indie game awards.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I just love that this can also exist next to the game awards Yeah, anyone can do an award show go for it if you want to show flowers and get flowers do it. Oh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
The word that comes to me is important. I think it's so important, the work that they're doing, and it shows that putting investment and time and work and resources into something like caring about indie games so much, there's results. They've put in the work over so many years at this point that they do their showcases that are always great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
They always have so many awesome games that they even wrap and are hitting us up about. And then, yeah, doing something like this and having it feel like there's consequence to it, I mean, that's... That is important.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I feel like that's the thing. There's awesome games here. Of these, Neva is my pick just because I love it so much. But I don't feel like enough people are playing Neva for it to actually get winning love. But hey, it's nominated. Being nominated is like... Very important for these type of award shows. So yeah, that's great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
But yeah, I mean, I do feel like these type of indie, here's what I think is important. The Indie Game Awards being run here by Six One Indie, they're doing this in a very correct way, in my opinion, of getting a panel of indie-focused games industry professionals and media outlets to vote on this and to be a part of this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
These are people who focus on this, who have an expertise and understanding of all these games. And it's not like kind of funny that are looking at this and are like, okay, we have played,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Some of these games yeah, but like for us to like vote in this or like talk about these things It's not our place necessarily some in some ways We can you know, but I feel like overall we're getting real granular with it like I mean for the record I think we were reached out about this and then like Greg came to me and we looked at the nominees and we were like We've not played enough of these games, but that's not gonna participate right like that's that type of conversation I think is important there is like, you know the
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
There's responsibility here, editorially, when you're voting for things and doing things, and that's why it's like when you look at the Game Awards, those work a very specific way, and you have the breadth of the different panelists that are involved in voting and nominating and all that stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
It works differently than something like this that I feel like how focused it is, it requires more focus and more attention, and it matters more in the details, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Well, I mean, just anecdotally, my group thread that I have with about 10 guys on it started with one of my friends sending his friend code. And like, boys, we doing this. And it warmed my heart because I'm like, oh, I've already been on this shit. Like, they ain't ready to see my collection. So I dropped my stuff. Over the last week, every single person's got it.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
When I first read this headline this morning, I jumped to it being Bandai Namco. Which I know is wrong because they just published the game. But my first thought was like, is Sony... Because it's Sony, not PlayStation. Is Sony trying to require Bandai Namco? And I started going down this whole... I mean, that also makes a lot of sense. In my mind. And I was like, oh my God.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
getting on the specific things are not waste my shit but before then to get the new specifically i was like all right cool i know which pokemon looking for so i would use my like pack points to buy those cards uh... probably do it right now you're going to pop in the pack points are and i think that makes sense then
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
You know what I mean? I get it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
You don't need to. Just hold out, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
That is so freaking wild. I think yesterday was the two year anniversary of Scarlet and Violet, which is very, very scary to me because that means it's the two year anniversary of me being re-obsessed with Pokemon again, as you can see with my badges here. and the amount of money that I spent in Pokemon Go, and now Pokemon Trading Card Game, both the actual card game and Pocket.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
So fuck you, Pokemon. You can go die. But also love you, Pokemon. Yes, I love you so much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
And yeah, this is just wild, and I do, you know, looking at the numbers every time Nintendo puts out their quarterly, like, the fiscal results, like, you just see the Pokemon Switch games go up and up and up, and I would not be surprised if at the end of the day it's not just Japan, that these numbers are true as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I think it's very close.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Have they?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I could be wrong. Let me double check. But yeah, I do know that we still have red, blue, and green, and yellow are at the top spot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I literally was in the shower. Just read the headline. Didn't read the article at all. Thinking this all through. Like, okay, I get how this could make sense. Why they'd want to do it. And then when I got out, I looked at my phone. I was like... why did I just do that entire exercise? I had so many thoughts to say on the show. I'm like, I'm a fucking idiot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
But yeah, Let's Go, those feel more like spin-offs, too. And yeah, those sold significantly less than Sword and Shield and the core new gen games. But even then, they're still at, what, 15 million or something? It's just insane numbers that we're talking about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah, exactly. It's real close. I do think that they're going to eventually pop up above it. Yeah, I didn't know that.

No, it just had such a fast starting point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah, it's going to be interesting when Pokemon Zaw comes out, what that looks like. The Legends games, I mean, they're similar, more similar, I'd say, to the Let's Go games. As far as performance? Yeah. So, we'll see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I think there's not a chance you're right there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I think if this goes through FromSoftware, it goes to PlayStation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
You're bringing up the exact points I always make. That's like, you can just describe game by game, but to then compare the games, it gets complicated. It's like we're just trying our best to do something that is actually impossible. It doesn't make sense because we're just trying to bucket things that actively don't want to be bucketed. Because what makes them different is what makes them good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Some of it's applicable though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
If they're just doing the exact same thing, then it's like, all right, cool. What are we doing that's special here? There are certain genres that you can be like, without a shadow of a doubt, that's a 2D platformer. But then the moment that 2D platformer starts doing things just a little bit differently, it's no longer that. It's something else mixed with other genres. Let it just be its thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I mean, when you look at Zelda 2, Adventures of Link on the NES, and it's like, all right, cool, it's drastically different than the first Zelda game. People would call the first Zelda game action-adventure, action-RPG, I guess, maybe, I don't know. Yeah. But,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Because here's the thing, Les, and here's the thing that I feel like people don't understand. It is fun to talk about this stuff because it doesn't actually matter. And us trying to make it matter is the fun part. What's the point of an award show? It's to have fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
To honor things that we like. And yeah, then there's business ramifications and all of that stuff. Why the fuck do we care about that? Or we care about that. We can't just be like, oh man, it has to be this way, but all Game Awards is just a giant commercial. Yes, it's a giant commercial, even for the games winning awards. They're just being marketed. That's just marketing. I love it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I fucking love it here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Hell yeah. I watched that last night. It's fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I would love for you to do that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
those consistencies, I feel like then we're cooking. Then we're in a good spot here. But that's the problem is that when rules are set forward and then people don't follow those rules and then games get nominated a certain way, then everyone's all upset because the rules didn't fucking matter. It's like, well, it's because people didn't play the game correctly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
People didn't fucking look at the words being said of what describes an action adventure or an action RPG based on the parameters that were set forth. And it's like, cool, that's the mess that we're going to be in here. But as long as Blessing knows what he thinks an action RPG is and explains that to you so that when he is nominating his best action RPG, it all makes sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I mean, I'm totally with you there. But it is. Actually, it's not. Action RPG is not even on the thing. oh sorry not action RPG sorry action adventure that's what I meant it's silly it's dumb ass words put together in my opinion but those words are put together and it's a category and we vote for it so strap in y'all Mike I'm gonna make that video for you just for Mike um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
That's not as runaway as I expected it to be. But when you start talking about, when you look at that proportion to the amount of copies sold, that's millions and millions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I mean, again, the problem to me is the cost of acquiring.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Where it's like, it just almost doesn't seem like it's possible for that to be worth it. But in the context of Sony buying it with all the other things, then you also get it. It makes a lot of sense. But yeah, I don't know that it's worth it acquiring. I really don't. Like, the amount of money, I mean, we don't know the money. We don't know the cost associated.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
But, like, the amount of billions, whatever they put down, I don't know. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
See, to me, I think it really comes down to the sheer math of why are you requiring, when you already have the software on your system, and it's to sell hardware, would it sell enough hardware to make that up? And my gut says the answer is no. That's where I'm at.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Oh, so you don't think PlayStation is going to sell enough consoles to make it worth it to get the bonuses when they're already selling that big of a percentage on their system. And with PC being the other thing, Xbox being slimmer, it's like, ah, I don't know. I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Did you see what I saw?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
an Elden Ring. Here's my train of thought on this. I feel like there's no world in which PlayStation Studios acquires from software. I do think there's a world in which Sony acquires Katakawa and then PlayStation Studios is incredibly happy to get from software and are going to be They're gonna make that work. And it's gonna be great. But do you see what I'm saying there?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
And that to me is like, that's where it goes to the console sold and all of that stuff. But like, I also wanna clear, PlayStation having Chrome software would be very good for PlayStation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Tim, some big news. It is, man. This is real big news. We've had no transitions yet. We're just getting started here. So it's big because, again, this is Sony. This is not PlayStation. It would then have a lot of... changed to PlayStation. It would affect PlayStation greatly if this were to happen.

In addition to some of the things you're talking about, this also includes Acquire, who are the team behind Tenchu, The Samurai, and Octopath Traveler. They were the co-developers on that. Most recently, it was just revealed, did Mario & Luigi Brothership, as like a collaboration with Nintendo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Also, Gotcha Gotcha Games, RPG Maker, and then like you were saying, Spike Chunsoft, who makes the Raincoat and Banshee's Last Cry and Share in the Water. Yes, exactly. So that all makes sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
You bringing up the Re series, I feel as well, that's where the real conversation starts for me, where I feel like this is definitely a move for Sony when you think of Sony Pictures and how they've been acquiring different anime companies. Yeah. and just the investments they've been making in recent years.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yes, exactly. And with that, Sony doesn't have its own streaming service, right? Sony's strategy has been, let's put our movies out on other streaming services and make deals with them. That's why we see a lot of Sony movies eventually end up on Netflix and then transition over to Disney+. They're kind of
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Triple dipping in a way instead of investing in their own platform How do we get as much money for a spider-man movie as possible?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
For example and kind of like put it through the car wash of all of that then investing so much in Anime brands clearly shows that they see the value there But then I also think taking all of that and being able to put it in other places is a very smart call for them and the crunchy roll side of things is the closest thing they have to a content streaming service like that and

Absolutely. I mean, that felt way more like a second party going first party. Even though one of their most recent games was an Xbox exclusive, Sunset Overdrive.

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
This is where this gets very interesting, because let's take all the anime conversation out of it, and let's just focus on the video game side of things. Because you're saying FromSoftware is the best company, game developer, that PlayStation can acquire. And you say that backed up with a lot of evidence of money, of critical success, of back-to-back-to-back-to-back titles.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Bloodborne, for sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Yeah, and so you look at all of that, and there's obvious success there, but even their ability to put out something like Armored Core 6 that was, you know, obviously it's the sixth title in the franchise, so that means that there's going to be fans of that franchise, but I feel like it, oh yeah, exactly, there we go. It coming out was definitely like, oh, they're trying something different.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
This is not just another Souls game. We know that they can knock those out of the park and they have in different franchises, in different variations of Sekiro being a little more fast-paced and Bloodborne being different enough from the actual Souls titles. But Armored Core being a totally different type of thing

and another hit right so big hit after hit after hit was looking if we see the from software logo pop up on a trailer we're expecting greatness at this point uh... both sales wise and critically
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
playstation obviously would want that but with from software i mean the numbers were talking about elderly uh... shadowed the country obviously a lot of conversation about that last couple days with the game of the year nomination for the expansion the expansion alone sold over five million copies right so i'd feel like while yes so we might be looking at and having it make sense i also look at playstation's exclusive square units titles recently and how

Even though it was Final Fantasy fucking 7 Rebirth and Final Fantasy 16, the first like proper numbered Final Fantasy sequel in years. And they don't meet sales expectations because they're stuck on PlayStation.

Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
See, but what I'm bringing up is like, I don't know if it's the best move for PlayStation because if PlayStation were to acquire them and then the sales of those games, not because they were limited to just PlayStation consoles, what if they were Final Fantasy VII rebirth levels? then all of a sudden, is that a success? You know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Are they making the amount of money that they need to after already investing to acquire this company? When they could have just published the game on their console and made money that way and then the game also was selling on Xbox and PC is a little bit of a gray area at this point when it comes to PlayStation. But like, do you see the point that I'm making?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
That's it. Yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean, I think it, you'd be insane to argue that Elden Ring doesn't have more viability, I think, in pretty much any way you look at that. The Final Fantasy at this point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
I need to own it. Absolutely. I just, I wonder, We won't know unless that actually happens, because I would just say that looking at the Final Fantasy stuff, in hindsight, it is surprising that those games are not selling as PlayStation exclusives. You get what I'm saying?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
But I mean, like, what's the stuff, though, right? Like, that's the thing is, like, they're the critically beloved games, right? And there's obviously clear legacy, especially with VII specifically that we're talking about, of, like, how people to this day are buying the merch and so into the world and fandom of it. Like, you're right of saying, like, does it have the stuff? Yes, it has the stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Sony in Talks to Buy From Software’s Parent Company - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.24
Just the stuff it has is compared to different things these days, right? But I do think that with Elden Ring, like, I don't know. It's just this... This to me, I feel like gets very interesting where I can't imagine it not being multi-platform. I just feel like that would be such a major hit against it for its success.

Yeah, that's the thing is like people can fly being more optimistic about that. Well, I guess it's coming from a bad place. I'm shocked they're still around and I'm very happy. I'm very happy that they're still around because they make great games and I feel like Outriders was a perfect example of what we're talking about of like you can make a game not be like every other game.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you that I feel like it's a struggle for any of those, including SOCOM. I think SOCOM... SOCOM the most, I think. Yeah, SOCOM's definitely... It's time and place, I think, does not exist anymore.

PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
I think you could make something happen there, but I do feel like that would be a perfect example of a game that would need to be so lean, budget and resource-wise, for it to be considered a success by any...

measurable metric but then Killzone and Resistance I do feel have enough just kind of like alright people know what the IP is I think at the end of the day Killzone has the masks and the stuff that like just the iconography that I think people are like oh I've heard of this or I know this if they didn't play the games back in the day but even then I don't think that there's like

This comes from Eric Van Allen at IGN. Amazon's God of War TV series has yet to premiere, but it's already lined up for two seasons, according to showrunner Ronald D. Moore. Moore took over the God of War series after the departure of previous showrunner Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Otzby and Mark Fergus.

There's a bunch of great names in this paragraph. Shout out to names. In an interview with fellow Battlestar Galactica alum Katie Sackhoff, Moore talked a bit... Who's so freaking cool?

A big title in the gaming world that Amazon has ordered two seasons of and they've asked me to come in. So I'm literally in the writer's room and working on that. That's my new thing. He went on to say he's not a gamer, though he does enjoy some Defender, Asteroids, and Centipede. He says he took a stab at it, but the controllers threw him. Press R1. Which one's R1? Oh, I'm dead, Moore said.

If you don't know, you'll miss out on the real magic of it. And when you look at The Last of Us on HBO and you look at Halo on Paramount+, there's a couple key differences. And one of them is in Last of Us, they care about how it felt to play that game and how that made you feel to play the game. Halo did not. And when they did, it was too little too late.

He didn't go that far. And again, that thing is like putting your foot in your mouth in these interviews.

Courthouse News, which first reported on the suit, writes that Kodak is seeking damages to be determined at trial regarding articles on former Go Media site Gizmodo and current Go Media site Kotaku about Kodak's reported interest in buying TikTok. As context into Kodak, the articles both discussed a California Civil Rights Department investigation into Activision Blizzard that was settled in 2023.

The final California settlement... makes note that no court or any independent investigation has substantiated any allegations and that the defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing, liability, and damages.

Courthouse News quotes Kodak's complaint as reading, "...Kutaku and Gizmodo went out of their way to include withdrawn fake allegations, or false allegations, relating to workplace issues which Go Media knew had been conclusively disproven by numerous investigations." Courthouse News writes that Kotick and his representatives repeatedly wrote into Go Media demanding corrections to the articles.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
Both Kotaku and Gizmodo's articles were updated after publishing to add details about the settlement. Despite this, Courthouse News writes that Kotick claims, quote, the articles continue to mischaracterize the agreement and quotes the complaint in stating that the allegations were included purely for the malicious purpose of causing further harm to Kotick.

Former Treyarch co-studio head Blundell was one of the lead creators of Call of Duty Zombies mode before leaving Activision in 2020 after 13 years. He'd then serve as one of the co-founders of Deviation Games. Deviation Games didn't get a chance to release its debut project, an original IP that was set to be exclusive to PlayStation platforms.

I mean, I think, you know, I wouldn't expect that to be the case of what they're doing. It's more of a hope for me. You don't think so? I mean, what evidence is there besides Astro Bot that PlayStation's willing to do that? Returnal. Okay. Okay. You see this as a hell divers. I mean, which is a big game, but also not a huge game.

Yeah, because that's what matters here. I mean, again, Jason was saying this a couple of weeks ago about like the releasing the game is the most important. Jason Derulo himself, yeah, on Games Daily.

Yeah, Jason Shryer, number one games journalist, was, you know, talking about, like, the actual releasing of a game is the most important part, and when devs aren't given the ability to even get to that point, it's going to have bad ramifications all the way up the chain, right? For sure. And definitely down the chain. So with this, it's like, I hear this news, and, like, I...

struggle to be positive about it just because it just feels very unlikely that this project's ever going to see the light of day interesting um and again that's coming from a very pessimistic place that i feel there's just a lot of evidence to feel that way in recent times uh but having said that you do bring up a good point that like i was just thinking about astrobot at kind of that level but you're right bringing up multiple examples and with um what's it called what's the rule

Make a new team for it. That is also interesting in this brand new landscape we're in where Xbox has, or Microsoft, however you want to look at it, has so many studios and devs under their belt now, especially with the Activision stuff, with the Bethesda stuff, that when you think about PlayStation Studios, it is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation Forms New First-Party Studio - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.18.25
Of course, they acquired Insomniac, but it's interesting to see them start new teams. Xbox has done that as well. But with PlayStation Now, just by default of how acquisitions and money works, they have many fewer teams to be able to access and make those games. So making one from scratch, it's interesting and that's challenging.

Yeah. Do you think it's an original IP, or is it something based on PlayStation? I'm going to say original IP. You? Do you think that anybody's working on a PlayStation IP? Maybe story number two. Bulletstorm developer. People comply. Okay. I don't know why I said it like that. Working on mystery PlayStation franchise. This comes from Victoria Kennedy at Eurogamer.

People can fly. The developer of Outriders and Bulletstorm have signed a deal with PlayStation to work on a new project based on an existing Sony franchise. Further details remain slim for now, though it has been confirmed the upcoming release is codenamed Project Delta, and that it's based on a franchise to which Sony holds the IP rights.

I think that no matter what Phil Spencer and the gaming team wants, Microsoft is going to look at it and be like, that's cute. You tried. Every time that you push this a little further and further and we're making more and more money with those decisions, let's just do all of that.

Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
And yeah, I don't think they're going to stop selling the Xbox, but I just think that it's going to be a place to play as opposed to them pushing like, oh man, like you're buying an Xbox to be able to play these big hit games early. I feel like Xbox needs the hits to be as big of a hit as they possibly can to make up for the $69 billion they spent on Activision.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
This is where I... People might not agree with me. I stand by, I think that Game Pass is one of the most potentially destructive things to ever happen in video games. One of the best deals for the consumers, for sure. But in terms of what it has done to the business and what it can do and what it is doing, I think that it is not the right move.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
But where we're at now, oh yeah, y'all went too far at this point. Make the money. Sell the games. Let the gamers play these games that we've been waiting years to actually play wherever they want to play it. Because that's your whole marketing pitch. And I think it's a smart marketing pitch where they're at. But you have to fully commit. When you're stuck in the middle, it's awkward.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
And I think it upsets people. It rubs people the wrong way. You need to clearly communicate your vision. Otherwise, yes, people will be frustrated. And I think it just draws out the tribalism and stupid fanboy bullshit of like... of Xbox exclusives mattering or whatever. They clearly don't. Xbox doesn't see them as mattering. Like, they just don't.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Yeah, man, I think it's very important. But again, the genie is out of the bottle. Like, Xbox games are not exclusive. Xbox played the acquisition game of going out there and acquiring more teams than anyone's ever owned. And when you do that, you have to make the choice of staying steadfast to how the game used to be played or redefine the rules. And they redefined the rules.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
And I think that at this point, There's no going back. And then the point of having their own machine is like they still make money off of it. And I feel like there is still such value. Microsoft is way more than just gaming. And I think that because of that, they have a Microsoft store, like having different pieces of tech for people to buy, having hardware that you're kind of scaling up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
And especially as PC and consoles get more and more and more similar. And I feel like that's only going to continue. You add cloud to that mix as well. I'm not joking here. What is an Xbox at a certain point when Xbox, this whole thing is you can play these games anywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
And that's becoming more and more true to the fact that like literally because of the cloud, so many people can actually play Xbox games anywhere with devices they have on them at all times.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
And I do think that while I have a box, Game Pass. The ease of use, have a console in your living room, there's Game Pass on it, and it just works the way that it should. The easiest barrier of entry possible. Because I don't see a world where Game Pass is on Nintendo Switch 2 or PlayStation. And that's because of Nintendo and PlayStation. They would not want that.

Not all numbers are down, though.

And even the ones that have them, when they are, if the expectations are met, they're met, even if they're way higher or whatever.

astrobots aren't going to pay the bills astrobots sold 1.5 million and it never will yeah just just calling it what it is and everyone asked about is the best game of this year straight the fuck up but like 3d platformers do not sell like that unless you're mario no mario odyssey is the standout example that broke the trend 3d mario games are not selling 10 million plus copies like they're just not and they finally are mario kart actually way outsells mario kart is the

one and up until Mario Odyssey 2D Mario has been the seller. So it's like I feel like the 3D platformers like I feel like 2 million Masterbot. I wish it was 50 million. It deserves it. But like I feel like the audience in the market, they're just not there for that.

Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Because I do think that the mainstream Sony audience has been conditioned to understand that every couple of years, they're going to get these big banger titles and they're going to buy them. And they do buy them. We see the numbers. Is it enough to pay for it and make up for it? That I think is a different conversation, but the sales are there.

I mean, we need to define what we're talking about trending down. Like, PS5 and PS4 hardware sales are essentially in line. PS5 is down just a little. Not down. It's just lower than PS4 by the slimmest margin. I wouldn't say it is down.

I think looking at it, though, it's important to define sales being down versus not enough money being made. Those are different conversations. Software is selling very well. Not all the time, but a lot of examples totally are. But is it making enough money to make up for the development cost? No. That's a different conversation. Gotcha. I feel you. I feel you.

And I understand the intent of what they're trying to say, that they're independent editorially. That's what they're trying to get across. Man, y'all set yourselves up to fail there just from being nitpicked to hell from the audience that cares about this stuff. The games media audience is very, very fickle and very, very into it. They are a very dedicated group of people.

The battles got stale real quick. I love what this game has done to me. Because, you know, I'm collecting. I care about the cards more. I care about the battling. This Mew pack drops. And I'm opening these packs and I'm looking at it. And I'm not just like, oh, new card, new card. Like, what's the rare? I'm reading each one of these fucking things. And I'm like...

It's very good. Very good. It's just compared to other 3D Zeldas, I feel like it doesn't do anything phenomenally well. I will say its story is probably the most coherent. Of that era of Zelda games. But even then.

Yeah. Very stoked. I also like that it's 60 new cards plus the secrets. That sounds like a nice manageable expansion. So very excited for more. And Karate Kid, I still haven't seen the trailer. I know Mike was thinking about trying to react during the stream, and I hope we figure that out because I need to see this, man. Karate Kid Legends, baby. Karate Kid Legends.

Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Yeah, I mean, you said that in 10 years, Xbox is going to be number one. I mean, this is how they're number one, right? Be the number one of the third parties. Yeah. That is victory. If you're making the most money, whatever. But...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Real quick, T Mills 2002 says, again, why aren't we asking Sony to do the same? Don't they want to make money too? Absolutely. There will come a time where everything is everywhere because everyone is just trying to make the most money possible. Sony still has a winning strategy that is tied to them selling hardware. So their exclusives do sell hardware.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
We are seeing that still happen, and it's worth it to Sony at this point. That's why. It's that simple. Like we're not seeing them make these concessions. The PC strategy I see as a completely different thing. Xbox has been doing day one on PC for 10 years now.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Tim, are you a gamer everywhere? I am. I am, unfortunately, a gamer everywhere. I think it's so funny that, like, hey, if you think about it, we did this the right way. We looked at gaming. Xbox didn't have a hit. We bought Call of Duty. And now Call of Duty, it's hitting. Things are working. Call of Duty and Black Ops. Whoa, games good for us? That's awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
And, hey, I want games to be everywhere. Games like Call of Duty. Wow. Imagine playing Call of Duty anywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Crazy stuff. Jokes aside, I mean, look, we've talked about this so many times. It is just kind of the question I have is our headline right now is Xbox won't have exclusives going forward. Question mark. I wonder when that question marks just going to go away.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
But Fable, as of right now, is not going to be launched. I just want everything is launching everywhere. I feel like we're still a couple of years away from just giving up the Ghosts. Why is Indie coming out a couple months later?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I mean, I think that inevitably we are building towards that. I just think that from a business perspective... They're little windowing of all that stuff to incentivize people buying an Xbox. It's not going to make the money necessary. I think that Xbox has made so many moves in the last five years, even that have affected every single decision that they're making.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
And it's like, but things like game pass and just things like the way that they are trying to get people in and anywhere as an Xbox, they're making money on hardware to an extent, but it's, All the moves they're making here are Game Pass and software, and they will maximize their software sales being day and date everywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I'm feeling really good. Yeah? For one specific reason that I'm pretty sure you know. Of course, the Pokemon packs. It might be on your shirt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
Let's look at every single example of that happening in the past. With very, very rare example, does the game all of a sudden sell on the second console? Sell amazingly on the second console, right? Think about things like Tomb Raider, right? Rise of the Tomb Raider. Rise of the Tomb Raider, yeah. I think that's a perfect example. Look at God of War and why are the PlayStation games struggling?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
The biggest PlayStation games ever, not blockbuster sellers on PC. I think that the windowing, it very much neuters your sales. That's just a fact based on everything that we have seen in the past. The one example I can think of of a game that came out on a console later selling way better is Sonic Adventure 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
We're talking about way different numbers of GameCube and Dreamcast compared to Xbox and PlayStation at this point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I think at this point, like the more choices and decisions like this made, the more that we have Satya coming out saying things like this. I feel like at the end of the day, it's about making the money from the games and investments they made. And Xbox is everywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
You can't pretend that one Xbox is better than the other because the audience isn't going to buy it because you truthfully don't believe it. You're telling us you don't believe that. You're telling us that you can play this shit anywhere. Then let us play it anywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Xbox Won't Have Exclusives Going Forward? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.17.24
I think the clear lines are dollars and cents. And I think that the reality is they're looking at their hardware and they are not hitting the numbers that they want to be hitting while having their games exclusive on their system. They are finding great subscriber growth on Game Pass. They are finding success selling their games on other consoles.

You're a brave man talking shit about me, thinking I won't hear. This is how it can happen at any point. I want your stars. Get some stars and give them to me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Forgot that I was actually doing something real on the show. Sorry. Sorry about that. Sorry I licked you so good. Yeah, you look really, really good. I'll do the Nick. Are you hyped about this? No, but not because I just, I love horror movies. So let's see how seriously they're taking this. What is this actually going to be? Right? The game was great. The story for the game was great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
A little too long, as most of the horror video games are. The movie could solve that. Exactly. So yeah, I'm interested. I am cautiously optimistic. Okay. Let's see it. Sorry, give me two seconds. I need one more moment here. I'm trying to fix it. I just think this is what it's like for Nick all the time. You know what I mean? Yeah. No wonder he picks up so much change.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
You can see it so much easier, you know? Picks up change? Yeah, like pennies and dimes and stuff. It's so close. Oh, my God. You never saw this? I never understood why, but it's clearly because he's so close to the sidewalk. He can see all the money on the ground. I thought he was just cheap, but it's just like when it's all, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Okay. I'm going to A. That looks cool. That sound is a Cabin in the Woods kind of vibe. You know what I mean? Let's take a horror thing and twist it. Hello, YouTube. Welcome in. I fucking hate Andy. All right. Fucking hate him.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
That looked like it should have been on Tubi. Thank you. That was where I was going to go. Interesting concept, but something I've texted you before, Tim, is why is it sometimes I start a movie and I'm like, oh, immediately this doesn't look good. Like this doesn't look like it's going to be a major motion picture. That looks to me like I was going to be on Peacock or I was going to...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Annabelle, Ouija, Lights Out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Again, so what I'm saying is at first glance, I was looking at it going like, meh, this doesn't look high quality, but then the concept seems cool. And one of the women in the movie, I was like, I recognize you from some picture I've seen before. Peter Samari. Of course I know Peter. Oh, John Wick. Well, Fargo, but yeah. I never saw Fargo. Also, Big Lebowski. They're nihilists, Donnie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Yeah, not just making a horror movie. Here's the game that was inspired by horror movies, but since you're not making choices anymore, it's just a horror movie again. I like that idea. That's cool. I wonder how you wrap that up in a story. Different genres, they're saying, kind of interested in that, what that could actually mean.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
It's going to be like a Saw movie, like a Bigfoot movie, like an Annabelle movie. I think you go that way. Yeah, those genres.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
no i totally think it seems i mean we're playing fast and loose here right when you just talked about until dawn right we're talking about until dawn and then what to vr games uh but i would say really we're talking about super massive right and we're talking about super massive right every one of the super massive games kind of does jump genres and stuff and what it's doing with horror what are you laughing at over here uh camera kenny just said did you say bigfoot one of the classic horror icons bigfoot
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
You understood what I meant, though. You know, monsters, you know what's up. Come on now. Yeah. And Bigfoot's horrifying when you think about it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Hey, that's helpful, right? And get people like us on board. So when we do see the trailer, we can explain it to somebody who's a novice to what Until Dawn is or hasn't been paying attention to the video game world. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Hold on, I can hear it. The audience is calling for PlayStation in review. What are you going to give it? Gran Turismo, Uncharted, Until Dawn. Let's go. Put them on the list. Let's rank them. Remember the bad guy from Gran Turismo? I sure don't, but I know there was somebody who was a bad racer, right? Maybe they respected each other at the end. I forget what it was.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
This movie's coming out April 25th. Two days before my birthday.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
I'm hopeful too. Again, I think it's a very cool concept and I think that's what I want out of a horror movie. I've watched a lot of horror movies that are not filmed like Give me a good movie. I don't want some movie that people like. People like? Schindler's List. I've seen a lot of horror movies that don't look like they're going to win an Oscar. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
But it's like, okay, I can enjoy this and I can get down to the concept. This seems like a cool concept. I hope it works.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Okay. Cool. Cool. That's it. All right. Good talk.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Until Dawn Movie Teaser Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.14.25
Yeah. I like the idea of bringing in the hourglass right from the logo. We don't see anybody really do anything with that. No. Cool. All right. That's it for story number one, everybody.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Yeah. What do you think of this? Look, here's the thing. I'm very excited. I'm just very stoked that Donkey Kong Country is getting a love period. I'm a big DKC guy, and last week was the 30th anniversary of Donkey Kong Country, and I don't know if you saw how they celebrated, but they didn't. They just... The Donkey Kong Japan Twitter account tweeted out just an image.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Remember when we got that Mario 30 or Mario 35th anniversary? I don't remember what it was, but 40th? Who the fuck knows? An anniversary for Mario, the last time they celebrated. We got a direct, and that's where I think they announced Bowser's Fury and Mario 3D World coming to the Switch, as well as Mario 3D All-Stars Collection. And they had that image that was like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
whatever it was 35th and like all the mario characters were around it do you remember what i'm talking about there no just that logo well anyways they did that for donkey kong and um it's like all right cool um why are you gonna give us anything and they just did it they just didn't give us anything it's just like this picture with the the music playing yeah there we go that's what i'm talking about that's oh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Oh, I see. So they did that for Donkey Kong. And I'm like, all right, cool. So then a couple days later, we get this. And, you know, Nintendo are at the point where they just want to announce and talk about literally anything except for the Nintendo Switch 2. But I get it. I get where they're at with this, right? We're getting a direct for Alarmos. We're getting a direct for theme parks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
We're just getting a direct for Nintendo music.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
We're getting it all. um they did put out the donkey kong country 2 soundtrack on nintendo music to celebrate which i appreciate yeah um but hey so they they did this for donkey kong like what a week ago you said mm-hmm
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Yeah, and you know, classic Nintendo, right? The way that they celebrate or don't celebrate anniversaries is always a little bit bizarre. I'm trying to find this tweet right now, but I don't think I'm going to be able to live.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
That's nuts to me. I get where you're coming from. It's a bizarre thing to say, but I get where you're coming from. It is fun to see... Miyamoto used to be kind of like the face of Nintendo when it came to games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
And, you know, in the last decade or so, he really has kind of transitioned into being more of a Nintendo ambassador, if you will, where he is kind of like way more focusing and being the face of getting outside of games and taking the game IP and putting it in different places.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
And it's very cool to see Nintendo make some of the moves they have in the last couple of years, including like the Nintendo Museum that looks awesome.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
awesome like looks so damn rad i watched uh the rogers base uh who's an excellent youtuber big fan of him um he he got to go to the nintendo museum and he put up a video like doing his like like a vlog tour of it essentially and i'm like they put so much love and care into it and some of it is the cool museum like let's look at all the actual pieces of history and some of it is a bit more of the gimmicky let's play some games and yeah that's that nintendo magic
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
That's that Nintendo, like, we got to do something that's interactive because that's core to their DNA. And we'll see that, like Barrett was talking about, in the theme parks. Like, I forget, have you been to Super Nintendo Land down in SoCal? So I got to go for the first time a couple months ago. And bringing up, you even brought up the Disney versus Universal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I mean, like, let's just call it what it is. Like, Disney cares about things and levels of polish and the overall experience in a way that is unique only to them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
And I was at Universal for the first time ever. I've never been there. And so I got to experience all of it. And I was supremely let down by Universal Studios. Like so much of it just felt kind of small and weird. Some things were cool. But overall, I was just like, this ain't it. Nintendo Land kicked ass. Nintendo Land did feel like it had that upped polish.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I felt real Disney magic of walking through the warp pipe and going into Peach's Castle and hearing the music and seeing the Bob-omb Battlefield paintings and stuff. They nailed so much of that. It's just so small, the one that we have here. So I do feel like going to Japan and getting the bigger, full experience would really help. And you're kind of done after...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
an hour max of doing all the things and i don't find too much enjoyment personally in playing the dumb little games that they have i'm sure the little kids who it made for would enjoy it a lot more and seeing a lot of the donkey kong stuff that they had here i feel like it'll be a similar thing like um i don't know how far you got in the video but one of the interactive things is the donkey konga you have to like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
hit the bongos. There's three sets of bongos and all three need to hit at the same time. And if you do it, it unleashes Rambi the Rhino. And he kind of pops out of one of the boxes up there. And it's just like, cool. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Yeah, I think Zelda's next in line. I think that makes a lot of sense. I mean, again, you can kind of look at Nintendo's foray frontier into outside of video games media, and Knowing that we have a Mario movie, we have a Donkey Kong thing coming up, we have a Zelda thing coming up. I think that those seem to be their big three that they're pushing with that intent, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I feel like Pokemon's a little bit different just because of ownership and all of that, and Pokemon is its own beast to itself.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Like theme park. You know what I mean? Uh, so yeah, I, I, I do think eventually we'll get Zelda stuff. There is with theme parks. There's always the problem of land. There's just the problem of like, where are you going to build more things? Like we can come up with all these great ideas. I mean, it'd be cool if they had this and this and this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
And it's like, all right, well, you need the space for it. Um, and even, you know, the limited space that they have, uh, in universal, uh, down South, like it's, uh, the Mario cart ride is like one of the coolest, uh, queues and lines and just like environments I've ever been in for a ride.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Like it has that special something that like Indiana Jones does where at Disneyland where it's like, I can't believe how...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
immersed I am in authentic Mario lore and items and you're looking around and you see like the different trophies from the different Mario cards and there's just so many little nuggets for you to look at I think it reminds me a lot of the Tower of Terror ride as well where even the Guardians version where like you're in line you're just like whoa, this is so special. The ride itself sucks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
It just doesn't work well. It's very cool in concept, but the AR stuff just doesn't work at all. That's why I'm very excited for this Donkey Kong thing. I have full faith.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I have full faith in this minecart rollercoaster. Everything we've seen of it sounds awesome. Yeah, because it's an authentic ride.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Because in Japan, the only other ride that they have that we don't have is a Yoshi roller coaster. But it's less of a thrill ride and more of a, like... You know, a little kid roller coaster.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
And, you know, a little Yoshi stuff playing, which is very cool. Oh, this is dope. Yeah, it's a full-on thing. So you go up, and then you get into the giant barrel, just like in Mario Kart, and then it shoots you out.

Oh, no, no, no. It's way cooler than what I thought it was going to be. It's legit. And we saw somebody put out a, like, mock-up rendering of what it looks like in, like, CG. And there's, like, parts of the track that are missing. So you go over it, but it's hard to explain, but the cart is held up by a stick, so you seem like you're flying, but you're not.

I don't know. But even though they're saying it's not going to be a scary roller coaster, it's going to be more of an experience, which is cool, but what really upsets me is the direct that they put out yesterday. Now I know I'm just being a nitpicky-ass old man here, but those are 11 minutes that I'm not going to get back in my life. I love the joy on Miyamoto's face.

Seeing the K-O-N-G hidden around, come on. That's awesome. There's good stuff there. But there's something about the presentation of this video That bothers me.

If you just go to like the... Go before they even get into the land. Into Donkey Kong land. Go back a little bit before this. They do this like time lapse thing of Miyamoto like walking to the other land. And it is the cheapest thing I've ever seen. Like, what are we doing here? And if you watch it with audio, they didn't like get rid of the audio. So you just kind of hear a sped up.

A famed former director of Devil May Cry and Dragon's Dogma series has joined Tenzin Games subsidiary Lightspeed Studios. Itsuno, who left Capcom earlier this year after over 30 years at the Japanese games company, announced the formation of a new developer called Lightspeed Japan Studio with offices in Tokyo and Osaka.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Most exciting for fans, however, is Itsuno's plan to focus on developing original AAA action games, something he built his career doing at Capcom. Itsuno's long list of credits include the likes of Rival Schools, Power Stone, the Devil May Cry series, and most recently, the Dragon's Dogma games.

He was the director of Dragon's Dogma 2, which launched earlier this year and goes down as Itsuno's final game for Capcom. Quote, We welcome all talented and passionate game creators from the world over to join our vision. Lightspeed Studios is perhaps best known as the co-developer of Krafton's PUBG Mobile, which is one of the most popular mobile games of all time.

It's always been a couple years in between Devil May Cry being announced, so never say never.

I think it's going to be a stylish action game. I do think it's going to be a Devil May Cry-like experience, Bayonetta-like experience. I think that just makes sense. A lot of this is me kind of hoping it because I want that. That's the type of stuff I like. But I also think that's an easier... it's less risky than doing something bigger.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
And I feel like this is a perfect example that we've now seen a couple of times and we're going to continue to see of established creator leaving the big company to do their own thing funded by Tencent. You know what I mean? So I, I'm hoping that we can kind of learn from the mistakes of the past and, uh, get a adequately budgeted project out there with a scope and scale to hit manageable returns.

You know what I mean? To not make the sales expectations astronomical and not have the needs for the game to sell millions and millions and millions of copies in order to be even considered not a failure, right?

So I've been slowly over the last couple of years trying to like get through them. And I, I'm a completionist, so I want to watch them all. And especially with Marvel stuff, like I, I care about that stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Specifically, Lightspeed Studios, best known for PUBG Mobile. That does say a lot. Co-developer, though. Maybe this is them trying to take a step forward into something else. We'll have to wait and see. But again, I do feel like the talent there is clear.

It looks cool because now finally the classic lighting option is in Grand Theft Auto Definitive Edition on PC and console.

makes sense at this point, but I also just think that that is a testament to the success of Fortnite and the legacy that it has, but I love that it's continuing to grow and change, but it's still able to be like, we can put out this other version that we know so many people want.

They're not wrong, it's just very funny. The Crew is indeed no longer playable. No version of the game, whether it's physical or digital, or even if it's owned already and has been since it launched in 2014, can be bought and played in any capacity. Ubisoft has taken measures to create offline versions of The Crew 2 and sequel The Crew Motor Fest, but no similar action was taken for the original,

Now, I do have a problem with it, and this is a Tim problem, but I'm a fan of the Stormtrooper look. I like black on white. I'm not a fan of the gray on white. So for me, a lot of people, and I appreciate you all, a lot of people tweeting this at me yesterday, like, uh-oh, Tim, your wallet's going to get lighter. And thankfully, it's not. I'm happy with my Steam Deck OLED.

So here's another thing though. When it comes to portables, like to handhelds that have OLED, I want them to be black. I like hardware to be white, but portables I want black because the screen, I want it to just disappear. That's why I'm extremely excited for my Retroid Pocket 5 that's on the way.

I think it'd be the Lost Crowns.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
But there's the two thrones, which is Prince of Persia. I imagine you mean Lost Crown. And I hit the point where I'm smiling and can't put it down. As an experienced Metroidvaniist, how often did you die? I played very...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
fast and loose with it where it's like i would just go forward i always would just jump look i would not look before i leap i would just leap yeah and so i died a lot um but like that's part of the fun for me you know what i mean to start it over and trying and trying again so yeah i died a fair amount of that game and also some of the combat is pretty difficult like the bosses are are hard yeah what did you like more between prince of persia the lost crown and uh metroid dread
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
Lost Crown at the end of the day. And I love Metroid Dread. God, I was thinking about Metroid Dread. Metroid Dread's pretty sick. It's really sick. No, Lost Crown, I think, has extra oomph to it where it's an excellent Metroidvania, but the combat, man. The mechanics of the combat, I think, really set it apart. And the platforming challenges. Yeah, it's better than Metroid Dread. Wow.

Super Nintendo World Direct: Our Reactions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.12.24
I mean, honestly, I do have a lot of questions. But the thing that upsets me way more than it should is I've seen a couple of the videos of them at Costco doing their whole doom or boom thing. And I feel like this Rizzler kid isn't consistent. And it really pisses me off. I've seen him... Review the same thing, chicken bake versus the double chocolate chocolate cookie, whatever the fuck.

The brief presentation led by legendary designer Shigeru Miyamoto, who is ageless, provided an overview of the area's attractions, games, food, and merch. Among other things, Miyamoto showed off a Donkey Konga-themed rhythm game that can be played with friends and revealed how the park's wristband can be used to gather letters spelling Kong.

The presentation finished with a brief glimpse of the much-hyped Minecart Madness roller coaster, which will simulate the rail-jumping action of the original game for the Super Nintendo. Fans will have to see for themselves how Universal Studios will pull that off, but Miyamoto promises it'll be fun even for families who are normally averse to roller coasters.

amazing series like crash bandicoot uh and jack last of us right it's like all right cool i want to check out naughty dogs next what when we see that and we see your jump off the rock and do the slash do you think this is going to be a big departure from naughty dogs previous gameplay is this going to be fast and fluid and we're like like dashing rolling slash slash slash all around is it going to feel more like a thing i feel like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
All I mean is that Uncharted through Last of Us, and I agree with you how far it's come, evolved, and done everything else, and I think, yes, Last of Us Part II's stealth gameplay is fucking insanely awesome. I love it. You know that. I mean that that's always felt more, I hate to say it, grounded, weighted.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25

Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
I hope so, man. Over in the live chat, youtube.com slash kindoffunnygames, I have a bunch of super chats cooking with Vinny Super Chats and says, I actually found the Seraphites in T. Lou 2 to be one of the most interesting aspects and was sad they didn't place more focus on that. It feels that Intergalactic is going full force into that idea.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Again, I'm not trying to accuse Naughty Dog of ripping off two-time Game of the Year winner Starfield. But, of course, this sounds a lot like House of Rune where they have cut themselves off from society with their weird religion where they worship the Great Serpent. And I shouldn't say weird because, of course, I married somebody from there. So I get it. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
You understand what that was like for me and Indonesia. Yes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
anyways though uh i feel like that does open the door to find the society and find this planet and like i assume you're crashing on it land you know or maybe i guess the bounty mission for kumail is going to bring you to it maybe we're filling a lot of gaps here for a game we don't know anything about but get there be stranded there and have to deal with yeah these people have cut themselves off that sounds like an awesome interesting presence yeah uh cooking with vinny like you bringing up the seraphites uh i also think that there was one of the most interesting aspects like i remember playing through that game for the first time and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Yeah, who was like the martyr and they had all this stuff built out to her.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
That'd be quite the departure. And that's where it's like, I don't think, I mean, maybe it is. I'm not saying taking away from you kebabs, but I think I just want them the jumping off the rock there to me speaks that I think it's going to be a lighter, faster gameplay. I don't know if it'll go full souls like, but I think it'll be a faster sword play.

We'll see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
You think so? Yeah. I bet it'll be that you start on, you're doing bounty hunter stuff and bouncing around and then get marooned on this thing and that's where the story takes. And that's why I don't think it's open world. I think it's going to be a narrative. You are here and then you get off of it and whatever else. CJ Splitson says, cinematic swordplay like Stellar Blade slash Sifu.

Go. Joe just chimes in with a quick T. Lou 2 combat wise can go full John Wick. It rules. But then Dean Brown has this one that's interesting. Not that Joe's wasn't, but I appreciate it. Dean says in T. Lou 2 making of documentary, they said they were inspired by Bloodborne combat and exploration initially before they diverted. This seems like that idea. That can be cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Again, I'd like to see Naughty Dog shake it up a bit. Keep the cinematic. Keep that narrative. Keep that level of detail. Love graphics, blah, blah, blah, performance. But then, yeah, give me a little something different. Don't go all the way Bloodborne, but give me something cool. Yep.

Number two on the Roper Report, Sony is experimenting with AI-powered PlayStation characters. This is Tom Warren at The Verge. Sony is working on a prototype AI-powered version of at least one of its PlayStation game characters. An anonymous tipster has shared an internal video from Sony PlayStation's group with The Verge that demonstrates an AI-powered version of Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
After we published the story, the video was pulled from YouTube due to a copyright claim from Musso, a copyrights enforcement company which advertises Sony Interactive Entertainment, a.k.a. PlayStation, as a client. The video is narrated by Sharwin Raghupajaldal, a director of software engineering. You fucking crushed that name. Thank you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
At Sony Interactive Entertainment, who works on video game technology, AI, computer vision, and face technology for Sony's PlayStation Studios Advanced Technology Group. We watched Sharwin demonstrate an AI-powered version of Aloy that could hold a conversation with a player through voice prompts during gameplay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Aloy could be seen responding to queries with an AI-powered synthesized voice and facial movements, both in a demo setting and within the full Horizon Forbidden West game. He makes it clear that this is just a prototype and has been developed alongside Guerrilla Games to demonstrate the technology internally at Sony.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
The technology demo uses OpenAI's Whisper for speech-to-text and both GPT-4 and Llama 3 for conversations and decision-making. So happy they're using Llama 3 and not 2. Oh, God. I can't wait for 4, though, or Llama 3 Pro. Sony has its own internal emotional voice synthesis, EVS, system that it uses for speech generation, according to the man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
And audio-to-face animation is powered by Sony's own Mockingbird technology. While the demo is seen running on PC, Sony has also experimented with running parts of this technology directly on PlayStation 5 consoles with little overhead, according to the presentation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Sony first demonstrated this internally a year ago before showing a more advanced version behind closed doors at its Sony Technology Exchange Fair Steph in Tokyo in November.

This tech demo doesn't answer the more obvious questions over whether it even makes sense to talk to Aloy when you're supposed to be playing. Oh, come on now. Come on. That's a bridge too far. You're supposed to be playing as her at Horizon Forbidden West or the impact such technology could have on voice actors and video game developers. Yes. Let's go with the latter, not the former.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
It's a fucking tech demo, of course. And then right there, James nails it in the live chat. I wonder how Ashley Birch feels about this. Me too. Me fucking too. I'm sure not great. I would be pretty... You know what I mean? I know you signed a contract. You signed the thing. I'm sure there's a bunch of shit you did. But this... And I didn't see the video. Did you watch it before it got taken down?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
I don't know if it's actually synthesizing Ashley's voice or if it's just like an AI thing, but whatever. God. Come on. This sucks, man. Not her voice says Mandaroka.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Yeah, it's... This is so similar to when we were talking about NFTs a couple years ago where it's like somebody's going to try to keep figuring this out. And I'm sure eventually there might be a use to it that I'm like, oh, okay. If I'm grasping at straws here... Why would this matter? What would this be? Let's put aside all the ethical problems with it.

The idea would be eliminating that thing we see in games where I beat someone to death in front of a character and then go and talk to this other character and the character's like, oh, hey, how are you? You know what I mean? They'd be like, what the fuck did you just do? Like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
but is that really worth throwing this out and burning how many lakes full of water to make sure chat GPT can be like, did you just beat that hooker to death? Anyways, here's your quest. Like, what are we talking about?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
cause and effect you know what i mean and so like again to not be to try to bring back to a middle area and in a world where it isn't going to fucking ruin the environment we're all going to die and capitalism is killing us the idea there could be that you would still have writers you would still have all these people who are making the narrative and making the side missions and then this kind of tech is coming in just to fill in those little gaps to stitch things together to make them more sense of like oh again
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
When I give you this example, I ask you, is it even fucking worth it? But it is. You go to the main quest game and they're like, oh, we got reports that you climbed through that window and killed this guy with your hidden blade. Like, just to give you specificity on how you did the mission.

Number three on the Roper Report. Lego is starting to bring its game development in-house. Key executives say this is the big man, Jordan Midler of EGC. And remember, I mean big, large. He's a large man. Yeah, we called him to find out how large he was. He called us from the bathroom. Yeah, he called us on Discord. But he held up like a deodorant, so he looked even bigger.

The Danish toy-making giant has lent its name to decades of video game products, but the vast majority of these have been developed in collaboration with third-party studios and not by Lego itself.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Now, the firm behind the globally successful building kits has said it wants to start to bring video game development in-house, though it's unclear if this spells the end of Lego's collaboration efforts with other game makers. Quote, We can say, as long as we're under the Lego brand, we can cover experiences for kids of all ages, digital or physical.

Game development in-house is something we're building up, Niles Christensen said, who happens to be Lego's chief executive to the Financial Times.

Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
You have great IP. Partner with more. That would be my thing is, like, I don't mind you saying we're establishing the Lego games brand, and there's going to be a team that's looking and working and blah, blah, blah, but, like, Bringing it in-house, I think, is silly. You should be going, all right, cool. What other developers would I like to see make a LEGO game and make it their own?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

It doesn't have to be the minifigs running around in an open world. But does it, though? Those games should exist. Let me fucking finish talking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
But I think that's copying what those games were.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
No, everybody said that that game felt like... What are we talking about? I'm talking about different kinds of games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
right lego horizon is a different type of game than lego games but it's also the same i don't think so you're taking the minifigs running around beating the shit out of everything or whatever yeah but like like the even the feel of it the style of it like i think it's the style those are different things i agree with but i'm just saying like the gameplay i think we should you should be able to do more with legos hmm like what
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Like, they're already doing that? And that's a great one. Yeah. I enjoy it, and they're adding to it still. Yeah. But why isn't there, like, a Lego SimCity? You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Have you seen that mustache? Not nearly as good as this one. You know what I mean? Anyways, though. Yeah, I don't know. As long as they don't stop collaborating, you can go do this if you want, but I'm not holding my breath for great stuff to come out of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
I mean, it's a licensing agreement. I'm sure there's all sorts of little things tied up in it. Yeah, it's interesting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
So when you're making the Legos, Lego is paying to license the DC thing. Okay. Then when they're like, hey, we want to make a Lego DC game, I think Warner Brothers has to pay Lego to get the Lego license. Warner Brothers already owns the DC license. And then TT gets paid to make the game. Does that make sense? I'm dizzy. Yeah. I don't know. The mayor says no S on Lego. It is 2025.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
The economy is in the toilet. The world is on fire. We're about to go to war with Canada. The least of our concerns is if you're saying what every other human being in the world says, Legos, all right? Lego my ego. Lego isn't even in all caps in this article, and I'm not fucking mad, and that's my journalism brain screaming at me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
So what I need you to do, Mayor, is just look out your window at the apocalyptic hell space you live in and pick something else to be angry about. We ain't got time for this.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Yeah. Story number four. Ori developer Moon Studios goes fully independent, will finish No Rest for the Wicked without take two. This is Chris Scullion at VGC. Of course, Chris Scullion works with the big man Jordan Midler at VGC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Moon Studios says it's now quote unquote fully independent or a fully independent studio after securing the publishing rights to its game No Rest for the Wicked from take two. Moon initially announced No Rest for the Wicked, its third game, after Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori Will of the Wisps back in December 2023, and the game then released in Steam Early Access in April 2024.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
This Early Access release was published by Private Division, the Take-Two label specializing in publishing games for smaller developers. When Take-Two sold Private Division in November 2024, the buyer also purchased almost all of Private Division's existing and unreleased games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
The key exception to this was No Rest for the Wicked, which Take-Two said wasn't part of the deal because it wanted to, quote, continue to support it. In a new announcement, however, Moon Studios said it was now fully independent, stating, quote, We have secured the publishing rights for No Rest for the Wicked, allowing us to execute our vision without restrictions, end quote.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25

Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Yeah, like I said, we liked No Rest for the Wicked quite a bit at early access, and I have been. That's when I keep my ear to the ground for it because I'd like a full release on it to really jump in and get really deep into it. So yeah, as long as they're able to keep continuing to make the game and everything else, that's great. So wish them well. Number five, Disco Elysium Studio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
And I read it all as Zaum, or do you think it's Z-A slash U-M? Chat, I honestly don't know how to pronounce the developers. Let me know. Has announced its next game. Zaum. Zaum, you say?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
I like that, though. I see VoxBox says, too, Za'um. Za'um has announced its next game, Espionage RPG Project C4. This is Chris Scullion of VGC. The next game. Oh, man, this is VGC Games Daily. From the studio that published Disco Elysium has been revealed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Zaum Studios has revealed its next game, currently known by the project name Project C4, which it described as, quote, a new mind-warping espionage RPG that blends player introspection, deep character-driven dialogue, and high-stakes encounters steered by dice rolls, end quote. Hmm.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
According to a press release, the game world is rife with shadowy characters who help move the pieces for competing geopolitical powers in a game of concealed conflict. Players are tasked with completing a desperate assignment, which could see them losing their life or much worse, being exposed for what they really are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Players take control of an operant who serves a questionable global power and has to take part in a vicious, clandestine struggle for truth and influence. According to the studio, Project C4 will let players take psychoactive substances to alter their character's mind, saying, "...players must steel themselves with whatever comfort they can in order to survive the violent canvas of the real."
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
While Zaum's most notable release was Disco Elysium, it's unlikely that many of the Disco Elysium team will be getting involved with this new project, given conflicts between the company and its former employees in recent years. Most notably, the string of explosive allegations made in late 2022 by former Disco Elysium developers and the owners of the studio that fired them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
100%. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, be interested to keep eyes on this one. It sounds, as I read it, really cool and then very, very deep and in a way maybe I won't like. Because this could leave you my wanted to like, but I just couldn't get into it. And so I don't know how much this will feel like that. The dice rolls are cool. Of course, I like that in Citizen Sleeper 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Citizen Sleeper 1 I didn't play, but you know what I mean. If there's stuff there, maybe we'll get into it, but we'll see as we go. But, Tim, Zaoum having a brand new game is big news. Real big. If I wanted smaller news, say the tiniest news I need to know about, where would I go?

Remember, ladies, gentlemen, and enbies, we're all just dust in a universe, and if you don't set that reminder, they won't let you auto-renew your thing, so you have to do it yourself.

Number one, Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann reveals new details about Intergalactic the Heretic Prophet. This is from Zuhad Ali over at the Game Post. Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann has opened up about Intergalactic the Heretic Prophet during Sony's creator-to-creator video series, giving fans some new details about the studio's new sci-fi adventure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Funny story about Neil Druckmann. I texted him this weekend. And then I was like, huh? And I had a text to a friend of like, do I still have Neil's number? And they're like, that's his old number. I was like, thank you. And I had his new number, but the iPhone did that thing where it was used. And I was like, oh my God, you know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
So then it turned out that I had some, at some point switched over and I just been texting some random person all the time of like, just a random congratulations on game awards night.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Nothing. No response. I got fucked up. Anyways, Druckmann pulled back the curtain on what players can expect from Intergalactic, the heretic prophet. He explained that the team has spent years creating the game setting, a timeline that deviated from our own in the late 1980s, leading to a completely different version of our history.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's good. I like that. I'm one of your hosts, Greg Miller, alongside 4 of 30 under 30, a.k.a. the second best baby blues in San Francisco, a.k.a. the married one, at Tim Geddes. Let Tim host. How are you, Greg? Good. Aaron nails it. Tim didn't have Q101, Greg. I didn't. That is the point. Q101, Chicago's alternative rock station.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
A key part of this world-building effort was the creation of a new religion, something the developers spent, quote, years building from the original prophet, end quote, to how it evolved over 2,000 years. This faith is deeply tied to Semperia, the planet where the main story takes place.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Quote, at one point, all communication from this planet stopped, Druckmann revealed, adding that for 600 years, no one has heard anything from Semperia. That mystery becomes the core of the story as players take on the role of Jordan A. Munn, a bounty hunter. Who are the people here? What was their history?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
During the conversation, Druckmann also touched on his past work, especially the last of a series, and how it shaped his approach to storytelling in Intergalactic, The Heretic Prophet. I feel like I haven't ever said The Heretic Prophet. Yeah. And now I've said it 19 times in this article. Yeah, that's true. Which is fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Yeah, and I appreciate that. Now, I'm never going to... You're going to say Intergalactic. I'm going to be like, wait, Intergalactic, The Beastie Boys, or ITHP? I think about Interstellar all the time. Me too. I talked about that yesterday too. Yeah, of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Who's in it again? Like, this is definitely one I remember watching. It's that British guy from Notting Hill. Oh, no, I didn't. Fuck, sorry. This is on my Amazon watch list. Hugh Grant. Hugh Grant. Traps the Jehovah's Witnesses or whoever is at his door. I like this a lot, and I've watched the trailer several times.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Yeah, well, that's the thing, because I'm always down to pay for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Yeah, now you feel like you saved money. I almost did. You feel like you saved money. Like when you link your Amazon account to your Twitch account and give us the free sub that doesn't auto-renew, right? Grandma, thank you all the time. You took me to the lake. But real quick, what's your Amazon password? Nana, what's your Amazon password? And she goes, I can see the angels.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Druckmann acknowledged that The Blast of Us Part II received strong reactions from players, both positive and negative, and joked about the team's mindset going into this new project. Quote, we made certain creative decisions that got us a lot of hate, he said before laughing and adding. Lots of people love it, but a lot of people hate that game. So you know what?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Let's do something people won't care as much about. Let's make a game about faith and religion, end quote.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
Interesting. I'm not worried about it. I like the idea of the one person against the world kind of thing dropped in. We're going to be as lost as she is in terms of what's going on in this unit, this planet, where we are in this universe, what's going on. I think even you see, you know, in this trailer, eventually Halle Gross is going to pop up and give you the mission.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
I think you're going to get stuff like that. I think even saying this eventually in act two, right? You're going to be introduced to someone who you're at odds with, but you don't know. And then by act, the end of the game, you're friends with, you've done something with you. You can't have a game that is nobody with you, right? You have to have somebody come through and do it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Naughty Dog Reveals New Intergalactic Details! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.11.25
I wonder if it'll be AI. I wonder if you have something chirping here that way, if you're listening to old tapes or something to that effect. I can't see it being solo all the way through in terms of not having anything. Look at there. You got people right there all posed together having fun.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Das ist ziemlich gut. Ja, es ist einfach so, dass ich fühle, dass die Pläne oft von Leaks so aufgeworfen werden. Wie der Metal Gear Trailer wäre cool gewesen, und ich würde wirklich sagen, oh, das ist erstaunlich, wir warten auf das. Obwohl ich immer noch schockiert bin, wie weit dieser Release-State ist. Wie ist es im August? Aber egal.

PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I agree, I don't think we're going to get a one more thing First Party thing. I don't think there's any major First Party announcement that we're going to pop off for.

PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Es gibt auch all diese geblasene Fakten von Resident Evil 5 und 6, glaube ich, oder so etwas. Das ist wahrscheinlich, worüber sie hier reden. Aber ich meine, ich denke, es gibt einiges von Schmerz in der Zeit, um eine richtige Resident Evil Remake zu machen. Und es sieht aus, als wäre es 0. Ich kaufe es nicht voll, aber vielleicht.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Ich bin immer noch der Meinung, dass Resident Evil 9 nächstes Jahr kommt. Ja, aber das könnte morgen veröffentlicht werden. Ich wäre nicht überrascht. Ich wäre ein bisschen überrascht. Aber warum? Denke an die Geschichte der Resident Evil-Games, die veröffentlicht werden. Wo werden sie veröffentlicht? Oh, die State of Play.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Das war Resident Evil 3. Und dann gab es noch einen anderen, der Resident Evil 4 veröffentlicht wurde. Und Village auch, wenn ich mich richtig erinnere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Ich glaube wirklich, es ist dieses Jahr.

PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Good word for that. Raul says, God of War Grease Trilogy Remake. This is another one where there's been so much commotion about this, but I don't know where the source of the commotion is. Because I don't know if you've seen this. There's been multiple rumors. One that the God of War 1 through 3 are going to get remade or remastered in some way, shape or form for PS5.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
The other is that just the next God of War game is a prequel. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Lock it. Fucking lock it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Yeah, you're right. I think that'll be here tomorrow. You know what else I think is going to be here? I said this jokingly. Our last predictions for something. I don't remember what it was. We're going to get Last of Us Remastered at some point.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I don't know, but they're going to put out something new for Last of Us because the show is coming out so soon. But I don't think anything's left, right? I mean, a dual pack. Oh my God. Part 1 and 2. Last of Us, the full fucking collection so far, remastered again.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Yeah, I don't think it'll be that. Oh man, but that'd be such a good idea. I really truly believe in my core, we're gonna get a Last of Us 1, 2, something that's new. News and air quotes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Jamie Venn says, this state of play is going to go hard on remakes and remasters. My guess is Our God of War 1 through 3, Ape Escape, and it's finally happening. Bloodborne.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Let's believe. Volk Dasher says, gone are the days of banger after banger at a showcase. Sony work on a one to two game promotion cycle. Announce games released after 12 to 15. Repeat. Most data plays are building third party relationships to leverage exclusives. I don't think those days are gone. I just think that we're not in them right now. I think they'll be back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
But I agree with what you're saying here about this is probably going to be heavily third party or first party games. weniger Dinge.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
Ich denke, das ist nur, weil wir gerade an einem Punkt sind, dass die Dinge, über die wir reden, wie Bangers, nicht rauskommen. Aber je länger sie nicht zusammen rauskommen, desto besser ist die Chance, dass sie zusammen rauskommen werden. Weißt du, was ich meine?

Pretty dude. Xbox Games at State of Play or is it too soon for that? Here's the thing, Bless. It's too soon for that. I don't see it happening. I feel like if Xbox would have...

Released in 2015 exclusively for PS4, the game proved to be a critical misfire for the once lauded studio, which had previously collaborated with Sony on a number of well-received titles.

The Order 1886 received a 63 on Metacritic, despite scoring way higher in mock reviews. Passano hat MinMax gesagt, dass das der Grund ist, warum er glaubt, dass Sony eine Sequel veröffentlicht hat.

That is where you're going to get your release date and like the big blowout for Death Stranding 2. Maybe. Like, I'm with you. I'm not so sure about that. Because to me, this reads more as like a, hey, Kojima really likes rubbing elbows with actors and Hollywood types and South by Southwest is a place to do that and kind of, you know, prance out all of the stars that you have onto a stage.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I think that that's kind of enough. I don't know that they need news for South by. I mean, that'd be big, but with the state of play, All I'm saying is I wouldn't be surprised if we got the release date tomorrow, but I'm not expecting it. But I do think that they can still do this and not need news surrounding it based on what they're going to do there.

PlayStation State of Play Predictions - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.11.25
I don't necessarily think that affects this one way or another, but, you know, it is interesting to just think about it and Death Stranding, the Kojima connection, the PlayStation connections, like, if we're expecting that to be there, do you think that that affects the release timing of Death Stranding at all?

Here's, I guess, why I'm putting my 51% on this. I'm hearing voices in my head, Bless. Oh, Randy Orton. Five little men, okay? And they're telling me something. It's gonna be May. It's gonna be May, Bless. I'm thinking May for Death Stranding. I don't know why. That just feels right to me.

Jumping off that, even without GTA, whether or not it makes 2025, I'm looking at 2025 as a major year in video games. Do you think that it is going to be one of those up there, holy crap, some of the biggest things ever have happened? What is making you say that? GTA, as a concept, whether it actually hits or not, I do feel like next year we will get those exciting moments.

At least I'm talking about it. At some point, planning on releasing it next year. Switch 2, it being revealed, it getting its launch lineup, us knowing what its first year looks like, which I expect to be nothing but bangers. That alone, I think, is enough. On top of that, I am expecting some other pretty major titles that people have been looking forward to.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
That's the thing. These things are all just fun to argue about, and it's fun celebrating different games and talking about different developers and talking about the successes that we have enjoyed over the years. I just feel like you just need rules.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
And as long as the rules are clear and as long as people, everybody contributing understands what those rules are and are playing by it, that's all you need. Here's to rules. Here's to rules. Here's just to some understanding because at the end of the day, there's no right answer to this stuff. It's silly. It's so silly. Awards are just a thing to just try to celebrate people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Let people celebrate people. So I think that it's good that BAFTA is taking the stance that are just like, hey, we are taking our game awards seriously in this very specific way. But then you look at the game awards and I know that I don't know what your takes exactly are on the game of the year conversation, Jason. I firmly stand by. I think that that's how it should be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
If people, if the people that are voting vote for these games to be game of the year, it is what it is. It is. But then you look at yesterday, the player's choice awards for game more. So you've seen this now. So the, the, the five games that the player's choice, uh, the, the, the players, the gamers out there. Yeah. voted in where it's like purely on them to get these games in.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Like three of them are like mobile gotcha games. And the gotcha games had an incentive in the game to vote for them. So that's where we're at, everybody. That's where we're at. And that's how silly this all is.

Well, there's not much there. I mean, just again, I think it's good that in addition to the Game Awards, there are things like the BAFTAs and DICE Awards that... Other options. Other options that take things seriously in different ways and value other things and celebrate in different ways. It's important. It's good. People put a lot of effort into stuff and they clearly care.

In order to reach the homeworld of the Wild Hunt, the Witcher and Sage have to skip from world to world in a dimension-hopping chain of portals.

It's this bracing, exciting, and surprising bit of high-concept sci-fi in The Witcher 3 that I just really dig. The draft script for Through Time and Space is markedly different from the final one, with them finding their first portal in a Redanian garrison instead of Novigrad. I haven't played The Witcher. I don't know what the fuck we're talking about here, Jason.

We got to stop playing with the fire here.

What are some other games that you've sunk, like, ridiculous amounts?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
What about you? Yeah. Let's hear it. I mean, I don't have any that are like thousands of hours. Like I feel like multiple Pokemon games for sure. Like definitely Gen 1, Gen 2, and even Scarlet and Violet Gen 9. I think I'm at like 200 hours between it and the DLC and all that stuff. That's impressive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
for a game that doesn't work i know i'm a broken person um final fantasy 10 i got all the legendary weapons i did it all and i was a dumb kid so it took me a long time so that was probably like 150 hours or so that tracks yeah oh it wasn't it wasn't a huge game but um yeah it wasn't like a hundred hour game but yes barely you know destiny one i spent hundreds of hours playing yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Everyone's incredibly high on this game. You've been hearing the buzz?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
And Mario 64, I probably have hit 100 hours of that, which is impressive because it's not a 100-hour game, but I've played it. That's impressive. You've replayed it a few times. That's the game that I've 100% beat the most. At least five, six times at this point in my life. Yeah, yeah. Anything else there?

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
My gut, I'm sticking with it. Astro Bot. I feel like it's going to speak to the most people that are voting. Oh, yeah. Oh, awesome. Yeah, it's cool. But I've been wrong before about the winners. Even on the year one, I never would have expected It Takes Two to actually take it. I wouldn't even have expected Sekiro to take it the year that it did.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
I'm not talking about the quality of the games, just given how I would have predicted people voting on the category. So, yeah, I... I'm with Astro. It is that interesting thing of what's going to split what. And I feel like that's where we predict the winners every single year of every single category. And I feel we get often caught up in the split and it ends up not ever actually happening.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Right. It's just like a consensus. It's just boom, there's a consensus. Yeah, that's interesting. The split between Final Fantasy Rebirth and Metaphor is interesting. I feel like it's an easy win for Metaphor though. I feel like the people that have played both
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
The majority of them would lean metaphor, um, not only to kind of like give props to that team and like support them in a way that I feel like they haven't really seen that level of support before, but also it being the first non-persona it being as good as it is totally original.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
I feel like Bellatro winning would be a pretty big... surprise. But I think it has the stuff. You're right. I told you the story, and I've said this before, but I was on a plane a couple weeks ago, and it really felt like the majority of people on that plane were playing Bellatro. We weren't like gamers flying E3. It's not like, oh, all the games journalists here. These are just normal people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Yeah, so that's kind of interesting. But I do think that we have contenders, man, this year. And then there's Elden Ring.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
And that's my thing. I do think that Final Fantasy Rebirth and Elden Ring both have the most against them because I think that there's a lot of people that are... Against those games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
So here I am 50 hours into Hades 2 Early Access and I'm just like, God, what's that going to do for my full experience? Well, that's the thing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
I think that it has the least chance to win, it even being here. I do think it's telling, though. I do think that it is a sign of where the audience is at and the audience, including journalists, including people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Yeah. So, yeah, it's going to be very interesting to see how this all shakes out. Is there any other off the top of your head categories that you're interested in seeing how they shake out?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Answer this however you feel comfortable answering, and if you don't feel comfortable, we can move on. Oh, God. Here we go. Here we go. Tim's trying to get the scoops. No, I'm trying to get the opposite of a scoop. Tim's trying to get rid of the scoops. So if you know something, I don't want to know it. I don't want to ruin the fun. I have a lot of fun reacting to things. I want my fun.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Don't take it from me, Jackson. Is there something that you think could possibly be there that would get you really excited that you do not know if it's going to be there at all?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
My answer, I feel like we're at a point that there's just so much potential. There's so many things that I'm hoping to eventually get an answer for. Not that I'm expecting to see any of these at Game Awards. I'm not crazy. But we have the Switch 2, so we don't know the majority of Nintendo teams of what they're working on. What has the Mario Kart team been working on since ARMS?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Besides the DLC, which was clearly like a... Less resources being put into that like so many questions from Nintendo that I have that again until this was choose released I don't think we're gonna get any of that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Yeah or announced at least uh and then PlayStation obviously is the other big one where all of their core PlayStation Studios teams We just don't know yeah, and then there's blue point I think blue points my biggest question that we've been asking for years of what are they? Working on and where are they going to announce that you know yeah, I?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24

Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
So we have a Dragon Quest, Dragon Warrior?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
But even the 1 through 3 HD 2D or whatever. Yes. With Square's kind of new mantra of, hey, we're trying to go multi-platform. We're trying to focus on the hits. Like, we need that money, baby. Like, are we going to get Chrono Trigger? Are we going to get Final Fantasy 6 HD 2D? That's a great question.

Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
I just, I struggled to envision what a remake of nine looks like. That is too. Yeah. Like that's, that's interesting. Cause it's like, it's a big game. It's as big as seven is right. So like how, how could they remake that without, and I guess seven does have a lot of action.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24

Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Yeah, I'm right there with you on that. I do think that when it comes to the preservation of these online games, that obviously is going to be a lot more difficult to even figure out what that looks like. I do feel like there's a trend, at least with some of the groups that have a lot of money to be able to back this up. PlayStation notwithstanding with the Concord situation, but...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
When a game dies, like, I forgot what the game was last week. We were just talking about this. But even Halo Infinite has this where you can go back and play old battle passes and ones that you didn't finish. That type of stuff, I think, is very cool and, like, should be the future but should be the present of how these games work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Like, I feel like that is, like, one of those things where once we've realized, oh, that can happen, I feel like that should become standardized because, like, that's just such a great way to get people –

How are you doing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Foam Stars, average Joe brings up. That's the game that I was thinking of. And other people bring up X-Defiant, which I also think is doing the same thing. So I do think that there's a trend happening right now where I feel like... I was saying this about Foam Stars last week, I think less so about X-Defiant, but I do think that you would have to be...

What are you doing here? Why are you here in San Francisco?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
crazy to be building a live service game nowadays and not have a plan. You could just end the sentence there. Straight up, straight up. That is true. But if you insist, you better have a plan for its death. You better have a like, we need to at least get this far for this to even be viable and worth doing.

Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
And if inevitably it doesn't rank up there with the destinies of Yore and Fortnite and the big dogs, Apex Legends, there's a plan to be able to be like, okay, well, then we're going to turn it into this offline thing.

So, you were saying you don't know the subject of your next book or whatever, and I'm not saying that it should be this or whatever. Concord, I mean, to me... The Concord book? It kind of feels like one of the most insane things to ever happen in video games. Really? Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
A PlayStation Studios, for what PlayStation Studios means these days, a state of play focused on video game that, specifically given the timing and the year of where PlayStation is at, Concord was their thing. It has an episode in secret level. Like, they decided to do that. I get that that's marketing, but also, that's money, right? Uh-huh. So much... The credits of this last three hours.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Like, you know what I mean? So much money, time, effort, expectations all put in this game. And then they put it out. And then it goes away immediately. This has never happened before. Games have been put out and not worked and then been fixed and blah, blah, blah. Or came out and not worked and then slowly die a death like Suicide Squad. But...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
I mean, I feel like the fact that it was legit pulled and then the team was entirely just done and then the game doesn't exist anymore. Yeah, that part is crazy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Rocksteady’s Pulling The Plug On Suicide Squad Content - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.10.24
Yeah, you're 100% right. That's the one part to me that I'm like, that just seems like one of the craziest things to ever happen.

That's telling. So I feel like there was always going to be a challenge here. I'm with you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I'm interested to see what I think of it because I just don't know how they're going to do it. I don't know what information are they going to give us in a different place that could totally reframe how we feel about the story. And I also think that for those of us, there's two sides of it that I think are going to be challenging.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
One is adapting this for people that know what happens and how it happens and when it happens and how the changes or whatever are going to sit with us. But then also knowing all that stuff, what about the people that have never played and making it feel like they can understand what's going on with the us knowing that the story is a little bit out of order. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
And like, that's part of like how it has to go for it to like have the emotional resonance that the game does with the player.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I would say the video game does things out of order, but I think that the TV show might reorder those things. Oh, okay. I think it might have to, you know what I mean? Like without getting too into this, it's like, I would be surprised if, and I don't know anything. I'd be surprised if we don't get information about who Abby is a lot sooner. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah, I mean, that's the thing. It's like, we'll see. I mean, it starts next week. We're going to be doing our weekly breakdowns and I'm very excited. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up getting a fourth season and if they end up taking the story of Last of Us 2 and turning it into three parts, which I think makes sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Again, I don't want to get too into it just because I know a lot of people are about to be watching this and consuming the story for the first time. Sure. I do think that there are what I'll say is the last couple hours of the game can be fleshed out to be way more interesting. And I think to me are the most rushed story wise and pacing wise and theme wise of Last of Us 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
So I feel like you can kind of like almost give that a whole season. Exactly. And also we're talking about short seasons like this is only a seven episode season coming up. So if we stick to that, I don't think if they go 7-7-7 for three seasons, that'll be 21 episodes of the show. I don't think that that's out of the realm of possibility. They could also do shorter. That makes sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
They could do whatever. I don't know. I'm just throwing that out there because I feel like they're going to want to continue the show. And I want them to continue the show. I also do think that there's going to be a lot of criticism of it being a part one. I think even thinking of this as season two, it's season two part one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
you know what i mean yeah and like the next part being season three it's like it's not if you play you know what i mean like season two part two yeah and you know that sucks to some extent um but if they manage to get the this i think they're going to get the next season out sooner than it than season two after season one um just due to a lot of factors at play it seems um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
And I'm not too bothered by it because it's like, there's so much good TV that I feel like some things can just have these moments of like, just let it be good. And like, I don't think that we need to review season two as a season necessarily. It's more just like episodes of the story.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
And like, you can, and I'm not going to fault anyone for doing it because that's how we review things is like, as the, as the, how they're,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
they themselves are presenting it but i just feel like we know the truth where it's like this isn't the end of the story it's not even close yeah you know and i don't think we're going to get fast 10 part one where it ends the way it ends and we're like i don't know that we're ever going to get a follow-up it's like we know we're going to get the rest of it so i'm not too bothered by it especially because like i expect it to follow the game and i love where the game goes yeah i mean when you put it into like the 21 episode thing right like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah. I mean, I'm with you of like, obviously the dream scenario, a 21 episode season of last of us level TV. Yeah. That's what we want. But I also kind of look at it like game of Thrones and like, let's not even talk about the quality of the end of that show.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Just like in terms of what game of Thrones did season one to season two to season three, like it doesn't really matter like season to season. It's like what happens in those seasons and what happens overall in the story. And to be like, we know the last of us one and two stories. So as long as we're being told that, like, I don't really care how it's broken up. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah. I just think that so many of the episodes can do that. Just episode to episode could have cliffhangers. You know what I mean? But again, I, I love last of us. I'm excited as hell for this next week. We'll be talking about episode one, which Greg already saw that piece of shit. I know. God, an idiot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Ninkumpoop is a good word for him. Story number two. Hades 2 will be a Nintendo Switch 2 console exclusive at launch. Well, Nintendo Switch console exclusive, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah, Nintendo Switch family of consoles.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Hades 2 will be a Switch 2 console exclusive at launch. In a new creator's voice video, developer Supergiant confirmed that the game, which is also planned for other consoles, will first come to Nintendo Switch. The roguelike sequel, which has been in early access for some time, will come to Nintendo Switch 2 later this year, but no specific information was provided on launch date.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
In an update to the story, the Supergiant Games X account has issued a correction now claiming that the game will also launch on the original Nintendo Switch when it comes to version 1.0. I saw this as a headline on the run of show that you made.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
And I was like, surely this can't be correct. Hades is a Nintendo Switch 2 console exclusive at launch? Why? What are we doing here? It's 2025. This is stupid. Is it? Yes. Or is it business, Tim? This is stupid business. I don't like this. I feel like once the floodgates open up, you've released Hades on PlayStation and Xbox. Release the sequel everywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
It's great, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
But then later came to the other consoles.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
It's very cool that it's like this thing that has permeated so many different genres and just kind of IP franchises, new indie, AAA, everything. And it's not a one-trick pony, right? Yeah. It's applicable to so many different things. I think that so many devs are creative in their application of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
The tides have changed and shifted when it comes to this stuff. I still believe that exclusives are incredibly important and that they matter if they matter to your strategy and ecosystem. Nintendo, it's paramount to theirs. But we're talking about first-party titles. I feel the exact same way about the Duskbloods.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I'm just like, specifically because there's certain things that I'm like, I can argue for the exclusive making sense, and then there's ones I'm like, no. That being a multiplayer title, what are we doing? Get it everywhere. Give it the best chance of success possible. Hades 2, the fact that Hades 1 did come to the other consoles, I feel like this is like, it's not worth the business.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Like a Bayonetta 2 situation?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I'm doing it. I truly don't think it benefits Nintendo. Like, maybe it benefits Supergiant because Nintendo paid them. Cool. I'm like, get that bag, Supergiant. You're fucking amazing and you make amazing art, so get that money for sure. But... I don't think that there's any world in which this causes it to sell more copies on Nintendo than it would by a dramatic effect.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Then if it was on other consoles, then it's just like, then you're just going to make the money in more places. Like we were talking about what potentially is going to be a, what is expected to be a game of the year contender.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I'm only saying that from the multiplayer front when it comes to Dustblood. If it was just a single player From Software game exclusive to Nintendo, I get that. That is trying to sell systems. That is worth it to Nintendo to pay because they're like, we were trying to get the From Software fans to buy a Switch 2 to play this game. Hades doesn't have that. That's fair.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
No, I don't. I really don't. Because I think the Hades fans, like, that type of Hades fan, they either already have the Switch 1, they can just play it there, or, more likely, they'll play it on PC. Which I imagine that's the majority of people playing Hades is on PC, to some extent, right? Yeah. I don't know. I think that this is a blunder.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
All right, cool. I mean, my bigger thing is I think that this is shitty. This sucks. I'm shocked at how much the chat's not on my side about this because people get so up in arms about exclusivism stuff. This is a perfect example of a game that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Let's look at it from three different perspectives. One is from the perspective of the gamers. This sucks. Hard stop. One is from the perspective of Supergiant. I think they'd make... I don't know the amount of money Nintendo paid for this. I don't think it's going to be an amount that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
makes up for the potential sales otherwise that you would get with that big everyone's playing this game and buying this game and talking about this game again we're talking about hades too we're talking about a known quantity it's not like uh maybe it's good so it's like i think that there's some question there about like the money aspect and then there's the side of nintendo yeah sure it's good for nintendo of course anything to sell the switch to yes it's a good move for nintendo in that way because they have more exclusives and more things to push
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
But when you look at all that, I feel like in 2025 with the landscape of video games, this sucks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Absolutely.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Think of how much money they have at this point. Oh, they have a lot of money. They have a lot of money. Yeah, that's true. But it's, like, cool. Like, I don't know. There's something here of just, like, we can, like, play the game of, like, imagining where the money goes and all that stuff. But, like, let's just fucking be real. Yeah. They could do it if they wanted to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
If they really wanted to push for all consoles, they for sure could do it. Yeah. So, anyways, we're going to keep going to story number three after a word from our sponsor.

This comes from Jordan Midler at BGC. In a statement, Nintendo said it intends to align Canadian pre-orders of the new system with U.S. pre-orders, which were pushed back last week. Pre-orders for the Switch 2 in Canada will not start on April 9th to align with the timing of pre-orders to be determined in the U.S. Nintendo of Canada said in a statement. Nintendo of Canada.

The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Oh, that's so good. Oh, my God. Last week, despite announcing a price for the system when pre-orders were set to go live, Nintendo later walked back its U.S. plans for pre-ordering the new console. At the time of writing, Nintendo's yet to confirm when the console will be made available for pre-order. The system has been made available in Europe and the U.K. as well as Japan. Oh, man, that's...

Oh, my Lord, that's funny. Nintendo Life interviewed a Nintendo SVP and got some answers about Mother 3. This comes from Zion Grassi and Alana Hoggs at Nintendo Life. The homie, Zion. We got to see him at the Nintendo events. Always a pleasure to see him doing great work over at Nintendo Life. And on top of that, we also got to interview Nate Bildorf.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I got to down talk to him for about 30 minutes. And we'll talk about this stuff, and then we'll talk about my stuff. All right. Amidst the buds of the Switch 2, we got to sit down with Nate Bildorf, Senior Vice President of Product Development and Publishing at Nintendo of America.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Jumping into the Mother 3 discussion here, Nintendo Life asks, So this question doesn't come with annoyance or frustration. We're huge Mother slash Earthbound fans, and Mother 3 released on Switch Online in Japan a year or two ago. We want to stop asking this question eventually. Nate just laughs. Uh, Nintendo life says we really would.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
And we imagine you and everyone at Nintendo would probably love to stop fielding it too. So is there anything that you can say for people holding onto hope that this game may be coming to the West someday? How does Nintendo feel about mother three?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
And then Nate says, I mean, that's, that's certainly not something I can answer for Nintendo because I would imagine that there's a variety of opinions out there. Do you think that there's value in that? Nintendo Life says, we seem to see a lot of interest when Starfy came to Nintendo Switch Online. And Nate says, that's right. That was the example that I was giving.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Nintendo Life says, you guys must have the best gauge of player interest, but we put together a documentary about Earthbound, Banana, and Mother... Fuck you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
That's good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
can we interview for it? And I thought there was just like a cool passion project, and it was going to be something fun, and it was. But then now it's on Disney+, celebrating the 30th anniversary of A Goofy Movie, which is one of my favorite Disney movies. And yeah, great documentary. It's really interesting to get into. I knew most of the history of it, but
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
That's really good, Kevin. Oh, my God. You guys must have the best gauge of player interest, but we put together a documentary about Earthbound and Mother. God, I read it, and I was about to say, like, what? Banana? Banana. We got them. A few years ago. I just spit water everywhere. And it reached a large heart. I just spit water.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
It was surprising. It's just also one of the reasons we don't want to give up on it because we know so many people would love to play it someday. And Nate says, well, thank you for telling me. I'll take it back. And Nintendo Life says, thank you. So, you know, just more conversations there going. Mother is still something that exists and might happen. We'll see. We'll see. Who knows?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
I'm very surprised it hasn't happened by now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Star Fox 2 on the Super Nintendo Switch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
uh classic yeah only on switch online that's um i just oh sorry the nintendo classic yeah which i think then also on switch online which uh i think i think that sounds about right um but yeah they do things like that which is cool so i'm surprised that we haven't got it like it just seems like it's to me it seems like enough there's enough conversation that it would be worth putting out there because like as far as we know like the work's done yeah you know what i mean starfy is that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Or is that a different thing? Starfy is the little star guy. He was an assist trophy in Smash Brothers.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
on Sunday. We're all playing Starfy. Because I genuinely think this is the only way. Play Starfy and then play Earthbound. And then play Starfy and then play Earthbound. And just kind of go back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Yeah. Yeah. That's super cool. But I also got to sit down with Nate. Roger was with me as well. And got to ask a whole bunch of questions. And, you know, in typical Nintendo fashion, we didn't get too many answers. I thought we'd be a star. I know. Too many answers to things. But I did ask if having Wind Waker on NSO precludes it from...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
the switch to getting the actual Wii U port at some point and he was very quick to say no like all options are on the table obviously nothing's confirmed one way or another but there are many examples of games that are on NSO and still get the you can get them in a different way whether it's a remake or just the same port version or whatever it is so interesting that they didn't say it's not happening but essentially it was never say never it's Nintendo
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
The amount of archival footage that they have of the recording of things and just the story of how they were really not given the resources, time, space, or anything to make a hit movie. It was very much in the wake of The Little Mermaid and The Lion King.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
um we also asked uh if who was developing donkey kong uh bonanza and they would not tell us um why nintendo fashion why it's and i asked why and their their reasoning is what i'm sure most of you've already heard uh in the last couple days they're saying we want the games to speak for themselves and uh we don't want any of that stuff to get in the way of it
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
Interesting. Yeah. And then on top of that, I was like, well, without getting into who's developing this, do they see Donkey Kong Bonanza as a Mario Odyssey level release or something more akin to a Luigi's Mansion or Yoshi's Woolly World or something? Mm hmm. And he gave a Nintendo answer. They're all the same. They're all the same. We don't see games that differently.

I'm like, you're lying to me. You know what I mean? Like, I know you do. But anyways, yeah. So not too much. There we go. There's our boy. Look at him. Ooh, that's great. Good job, Kevin. Good job, Kev. I'm trying to think of anything else that we asked, but essentially anything I asked, they were like, no, I can't tell you that.

Story number five, Silent Hill F has been rated as Steam Deck playable. This comes from Wario64. There's a whole little post here on Blue Sky showing off that some of the in-game text is small and may be difficult to read.

The Last of Us Season 2 Reviews Are In! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.08.25
BDS, a pro-Palestinian human rights movement focused on pressuring Israel to comply with international law by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country and its economic partners, added Microsoft and Xbox to its list of targets on April 7th. Quote, Microsoft partners with the apartheid regime of Israel and its prison system.

The Palestinians BDS National Committee's official statement explains it provides the Israeli military with Azure Azure Azure Azure cloud and AI services that are central to accelerating Israel's genocide of 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied Gaza Strip.

They made something really special. And it wasn't until many years later that that kind of like resonated and it's become such a big, like kind of hits, but like a cult classic really within the Disney ethos. But anyway, very cool.

I gave South of Midnight a 9 out of 10, and I keep thinking about it, and I keep being like, I fucking stand on that. Why? Because to me, it was a 9 out of 10. I say all my problems with it, but to me, what's the point of this review?

Insanity. Kyle says, genuinely asking, why is this an issue in regard to Hades when it was a nothing burger for a game like Pacific Drive? I explained this earlier, but Hades was a mega hit, is a huge indie franchise, period, at this point. Game of the Year contender. And... it then released on PlayStation and Xbox and found great success. That, to me, is the difference maker.

Simon Gardy. The Homie at IGN gave it a 7 out of 10, saying it was always going to be a challenge to adapt The Last of Us Part II's sprawling, twisting story into a television show across multiple seasons. And at the halfway point, the jury's still out on whether it will ultimately work. Season 2 of HBO's Naughty Dog adaptations, not bad TV. It's far from it.

It's incredibly well-made, often looks gorgeous, and is packed full of stellar performances. But the storytelling devices and choices made in terms of pace and placement for key events bump up against what works, ultimately not delivering the striking effect the story's undeniable shocking events should. It's good, just not a patch on its stellar source material or its first season so far.

Angie Han at The Hollywood Reporter gave it an unscored review, saying to some extent, you probably want a mid-run season of a serialized drama like The Last of Us to leave you less than satisfied.

If you find yourself groaning with impatience to find out what happens next, it means you're invested in the plot. But there's mysterious and there's incomplete.

waylaid, I've never seen that word, by a different group of people we don't really know whose motives and goals remain opaque to us, HBO's hit video game adaptation has fully tilted into the latter. Its lasting impression is one of anti-climax as it becomes apparent that the answer to most of the questions it raises is, you'll see next season.

There's still plenty of feeling, I could bring up tears right now just thinking of various moments in the season, but I did find myself missing the rich lyricism of that previous chapter, the sprawling humanity of it, the devastating finality of it.

Yeah, I mean, I think I'm right there with you. I feel like going into knowing... that adapting last of us two is going to be way harder than adapting last of us one. Yeah. Just due to the way the story is told in the game and due to the size and scope of that story.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Yeah, I don't know. I'm so interested though and I wonder if we'll ever know what happened, how this happened. Because this game was not being made by Iron Galaxy. It was being made by Vicarious Visions and got shelved. And now it's back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
The most like, oh, I would have bet everything I had.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
I mean, it clearly was to some extent. I think it has more to do with Iron Galaxy, who did the PC port of the Steam port of, and I think the Switch port of 1 and 2. Okay. Pushing for it. Yeah. Dave Lang is involved somehow. I want to ask him questions.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
I believe in God now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
It's one of the two. One of the two. But yeah, man, very, very excited for today.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
It's really hard to not just have that negative response, isn't it? So much about what's being said here Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ubisoft versucht deutlich etwas herauszufinden. Sie versuchen eine Strategie zu entwickeln, um das Problem zu lösen, in dem sie sind. Ja. Aber sie sprechen davon, dass es vielleicht ein 2026-Release wird. Das ist nicht möglich. Ich denke nicht, dass das möglich ist.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Und wenn es möglich wäre, wäre es nicht großartig. I don't know. It's getting more and more concerning to look at Ubisoft and what they even can do to fix this. And again, what is this? I think a lot of different problems from the views of the consumer, from the views of the actual Ubisoft fans that I feel like are dwindling.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Und ich bin sicher, dass es einige gibt, aber ich bin sicher, dass diese Anzahl jahrelang verschwindet. Und dann siehst du sogar die IP, die sie haben. Und was sind die Dinge, die die Leute sogar fragen und beantragen? Und haben sie den ganzen Schwung verpasst, den sie in den letzten paar Jahren mitgenommen haben?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
So if that comes out to middling responses... I mean, I've been saying this forever, but the biggest things Ubisoft has ever had, Star Wars... Open World Star Wars Game being made by the team behind the division. And Assassin's Creed is finally going to Japan. And one of those was, I feel like no matter what way you look at it, not a major success. Oh yeah. With Star Wars Outlaws.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you look at Assassin's Creed and there's so much writing on it that it just feels impossible for it to hit the heights that it needs to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
März. Ja, wir sind drei Monate weg von der Sommer-Game-Fest-Saison. Ubisoft hat versucht, Ubisoft-Förderung jedes Jahr zu machen, ob sie etwas importantes zu sagen hatten oder nicht.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Now rebooting. No human being in 2020.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Man, es ist so ein Überraschung. Und ich sage das als jemand, der sich jedes Jahr an Ubisoft-Showcases freundlich anschaut, weil es mehrere Dinge gab, bei denen ich mir gedacht habe, dass sie es vielleicht machen werden. Ich war so lange der Ubisoft-Open-World-Typ, dass ich gesagt habe, das ist das Spiel, das ich will.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Ja, aber auch dann, wie der Rayman, der Prinz Persia, die Dinge, die ich verdammt liebe. Beyond Good and Evil, der original, nicht dieses Fake-Spiel, das nicht existiert, mit dem Sequel. Ja. Ja. I care about that stuff. And then you get the Prince of Persia, it actually kicks ass, and then they get closed. And now it's like, alright, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
What could I possibly be looking forward for them announcing? We'll see. So, right now, do you think they do Ubisoft Forward? I think they do. I really think they do. And I think it's going to be abysmal. Like, I think it is going to be... I legitimately think that Ubisoft Forward 2025, during the summer area... I think one of two things is going to happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Either it doesn't happen and that means smarter minds are prevailing and there is a shift and a change attempted. Attempted and being listened to from within. Or we get one and I think it's going to be Capcom showcase levels of bad, but Sie sind nicht Capcom. Die Art und Weise, wie Capcom ihre Showcase macht, ist sehr anders. Ich gebe ihnen keinen Ausdruck. Sie sollten das Showcase nicht machen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Aber es fühlt sich sehr viel mehr an wie ein digitaler Veranstaltungsprozess, als ein Showcase. Und besonders Ubisoft. War es das letzte Mal, dass sie versuchten, einen Live-In-Person-Show zu machen? In der dicken Hotelkonferenz?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher. Vielleicht. Sie sind zurückgekommen zu In-Person-Showcases. Die einzigen, die es gemacht haben. Und sie hatten nicht das Zeug. Sie hatten Leute kommen und Skull & Bones-Musik performen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Even if the game, even if, actually even when, I'll say, Assassin's Creed Shadows comes out and gets, what, an 83 Metacritic, something like that, sells millions and millions of copies, and it's still going to result in that. Es fühlt sich so an, als ob wir einen 90-Meter-Kritiker brauchen und wir 15 Millionen pro Tag verkaufen. Und das wird nicht passieren.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
There was a good amount of ones.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Ist das Spiel gut?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Ich bin überrascht. Es ist eine brandneue IP. Das war eigentlich eine Überraschung, dass ich es spielen konnte. Sie haben mich eingeladen, es zu spielen und ich habe einen Blick gemacht und ich habe gesagt, dass es großartig aussieht. Ich möchte es definitiv schießen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Und ich bin froh, dass ich es gemacht habe, weil es die erste neue IP von den gleichen Teams ist, von Darimu, die wir von Streets of Rage 4 kennen. We know from Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge, which was one of my favorite games of a couple years ago. Taking the old school kind of beat-em-up gameplay, but modernizing it quite a bit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
This is essentially if you took the gameplay of Shredder's Revenge and crossed it with Hades.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
oh wir kriegen ein roguelite alle und es ist großartig und sieht wunderschön aus, Kevin, du kannst sogar über die Kutszene überwinden, wir sehen tatsächlich einige der Spielbereiche und die Spielbereiche sieht so gut aus, dieses Spiel läuft so gut, Art-Style auf den verdammten Charts und du weißt, viele Spiele, die du anschaust, wie cool hat das kartoony Art-Style, Aber es sieht günstig aus.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Andy und ich haben immer darüber geredet, dass es ein Video-Editing-Technik-Motion-Grafik-Stuff ist. Es ist ein bisschen strenger als JPEGs. Es ist keine Fake-Animation, es ist eine Animation, aber es ist nicht handgearbeitet. Das hat das Level von handgearbeitet. Wir wollen, dass jede Sache gut aussieht. Und... Gameplay so well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
It feels like the old school beat-em-ups, but modernized in all the ways you'd want. Moving around is, I feel, even quicker, snappier, easier than it was in Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge, which I know was a common criticism of that game. But you go on runs, you get different buffs. It's a co-op game. You can play two player co-op. There's four playable characters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
The demo I played, you can only play as these two. I didn't get to play with anyone else. I just played alone. But there's a feature in the game where you can kind of rent AI help. So a computer can come and fight alongside you and help in difficult situations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
super super cool bosses a lot of great combos a lot of great parry opportunities um where there's a lot of like the parry turns into a very very very flashy counter if you you hit it right um and so far it's one of those oh man i want to keep playing i only got to play an hour but every time i would like die i'm like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Like I said, I only got to play an hour, so I didn't get to get too deep into the long-term effects of it all. But yeah, you're collecting gold, which allows you to buy different upgrades and power-ups as you journey. And the different buffs could be things like speed upgrades or different kind of elemental attacks added to your attacks. So you can upgrade the shock damage.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
So every time you punch somebody, it shocks them a little and like, Das gibt dir noch einen Sekunden, um mit einem Angriff zu folgen. Wenn du Glück hast, kannst du mehrere von diesen in einer Reihe finden und es gibt dir wie sie sie für drei Sekunden oder was auch immer es ist. Und du kannst auch die Buffs runterladen, wann auch immer du willst.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Ich weiß, das wird sehr, sehr wichtig sein. Ich sah Johnny Ace, er kam durch, er war in den Rehe. Oh ja? Ja, und... He hasn't changed much.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Es gibt Buffs, die das Ding machen, wie hey, wir geben dir etwa viermal den Schaden, aber wir geben dir eine Viertel der Gesundheit. Das ist so ein Risiko Reward-Type Situation. Overall, incredibly impressed with this. It definitely feels like they have something special on their hands and they are very proud of this game. I mean, they should be based on how it looks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
The developers talk about it. This definitely seems like a big step for them, this being a new IP, which is not their general thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Und könntest du es machen? Ja, und bis jetzt haben sie es wirklich gemacht. Eine andere tolle Sache für Leute wie mich ist, dass der Komponist dieses Spiels Gareth Coker ist, der bekannt ist für Prinz Persia Lost Crown, aber auch für die Ori-Spiele. Also unglaublich... Absolem.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Yeah, look how cool this boss looks though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
I really hope he does. Because the amount of times I am writing a very important email and he'll just come up behind me. Ace may come. He cometh all over the place.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Looking at Acclaim's list of video games that they've been a part of over the many, many years. Terminator 2 on the Game Boy, Greg, one of your favorites.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Yeah, so a lot of the old licensed things like Alien or Simpsons, a lot of Marvel stuff, WWF at the time, Mortal Kombat ports to other systems, NBA Jam. All right. Ja, ich bin wirklich interessiert, wie das in der modernen Welt aussehen könnte. Ich glaube, ich habe vielleicht nicht so viel Enthusiasmus, wie du für dieses Indie-Spiel gewonnen hast.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Look, I hope I'm wrong on this. This pedigree here and what they were talking about, it doesn't make me think that this is going to work. And this does seem like, hey, we're going to bring people on, they're not going to do well, and then all of them die.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Ja, ja, ja, ich weiß nicht. Ich glaube, ich schaue es anders an. Ich schaue mich an Dottie, über den wir gerade gesprochen haben. Hey, sie haben gewonnen, eine brandneue IP zu machen. Noch, du weißt, Indie-Game, ähm, weil Streets of Rage 4, Ninja Turtles Treasure Revenge, Metal Slug Tactics.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Ja, lass uns alte Videospiel-IP nehmen und sie tatsächlich in die kleineren Devs geben und ein bisschen Magie machen. Something about the words being used here, I'm a lot less, I just don't believe it. I don't think this is going to result in anything good.

split fiction to review timothy and i played through it the entire way together coach co-op the big news we recorded the entire thing we're gonna put it put it put it up is one big video that's gonna be really exciting a very different thing for us like we've never uh recorded our review footage for a game and posted it you know and it's interesting because i feel like that doesn't work for every game but i think it works for this one because the experience is
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Yeah, we'll see. Things need to make money. If you're investing money in something, it has to make the money back, and I don't think it's going to make the money back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Congratulations, man. Es tut weh, dass alles so einfach zu vergleichen ist, wenn wir über die Ubisofts und Capcoms sprechen. Aber Capcom, du tötest es. Capcom war in einem schlechten Ort, nicht zu lange her. It's getting further and further away, which is, I think, a great thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
They've managed to continue the trend of putting out banger games, trying some things that don't work, but then getting right back on the horse and having another win. Not being afraid to go back to old IP, not being afraid to try new things like Exo Primal, right? Onimusha, need I say more? Whether it's remastering the old ones or coming out with a new one.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25

Monster Hunter, the most important franchise to them at this point. They turned something that was a Japanese phenomenon from a portable standpoint and turned it into a worldwide hit sensation mega franchise for video games with Monster Hunter World.

Das ist einer der meisten What-the-Fuck-Storys, die ich je gehört habe. So bizarr. In jedem möglichen Weg. Wenn man sich das anschaut, sieht es klar aus wie Scheiße. Lass uns einfach da anfangen. Es ist unklar. Und ja, die Idee, dass es benutzt wird, um Interesse für ein falsches Spiel zu beweisen. Ich meine, ich glaube, ich sollte nicht überrascht sein.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Das fühlt sich wie ein Mobile-Gamer-Bullshit-Ad-Type-Stuff an, das wir gesehen haben. Aber das ist eine neue Ära. Und es kommt aus Activisions offiziellen sozialen Accounts. Es ist... Spannend. Spannend. Spannend.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
I mean, I imagine that this was a decision made by people, which is ironic because those things not made. But no, I do think that this was them putting this out like for gauging interest in these games. And they just thought that that was an appropriate thing to do. And to some extent, I'm sure that they're going to get they're going to learn something from this. I don't know what it's gonna be.
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 think that the outrage is gonna stop this from happening. No, of course not. Like, I think that people being upset about generative AI, like, unfortunately... You're gonna lose that back. We're on the losing side of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Yeah, absolutely. And like, yeah, so it's... It's just very weird, too. Like, how we even, like, get to this point of, like, the games that they're talking about here, of just, like, trying to figure out if it makes sense to make these games. Like, what would a Guitar Hero mobile game even look like? Like, that would be, I imagine, in this day and age, if this is their starting place, horrible.

Wait, no, no, no, sorry, Kevin. The trailer is what they released.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Es ist so viel mehr. Okay. Ich kann es nicht glauben, Greg. Und wir werden es nachdem wir das angeschaut haben.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
I also like collecting Tony Hawk games, because I'm four years like that. You have to be there. But hey, who else out there has a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 on PlayStation 1 signed by Tony Hawk himself? Probably a good number of people actually probably have that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
I do, and that's what matters the most. And also, I'm putting this out into the world right now. I want Tony Hawk at this desk.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
I can just tell you some things that I know about this game while Kevin figures this out because I've Okay. Hauptsächlich weil es ein ganz neues Spiel ist, das das Gefühl behält, was das wichtigste Teil eines Tony Hawk Spiels ist. Aber es hat auch alle Skater, aber sie sind älter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Also Tony Hawk und Bucky Lysik und Bob Burnquist, wie alle OG Skater, sie sind der richtigen Zeitpunkt, als das Spiel herauskam. Und dann gibt es auch eine neue Ära von Skater, die sie auch einbringen. Es gab Updates zu einigen Leveln, wie der Mall-Level von Tony Hawk 1. Jetzt war es wie ein verlassener Mall.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
So it's like fun little like switch ups and changes visually and the visuals are great in this game. This game runs in like every single thing possible and can go all the way up on Steam to like 8K resolution. You can play ultra wide. You can play 120 frames per second. Not all of those things at once.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
I mean, maybe if you have a beefy ass computer, but even on consoles, it's like there's a lot of options with this stuff. The game runs so well. Aber auf der anderen Seite, eine der wichtigsten Dinge in einem Tony Hawk Spiel, war die Musik.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Sie hatten den ganzen Soundtrack von 1 und 2, aber sie hatten auch den gesamten Soundtrack von der neuen Musik, die sie für den neuen Song zusammengenommen haben. Also, es ist ein perfekter Mesh von dem, was vorher gekommen ist, aber auch... Was, wenn sie einen neuen Tony Hawk jetzt machen?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25
Es ist also das Beste der beiden Welten, weil es keine Chance gibt, dass es schlecht ist, weil wir schon wissen, dass es gute Sachen gibt. Und es kann nicht schlecht sein. Und dann mit diesem, gibt es neue Ebenen. Es gibt einen Wasserpark-Level, den sie geöffnet haben, der großartig aussieht und ich bin überrascht. Klingt, als hätte Kevin es funktioniert. Sorry über das.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.04.25

Das ist der neue. Neuer Level, Mann. Wer weiß, ob es andere gibt, aber... Very freaking cool. And then, there's more. Another fun thing about the Tony Hawk games is there was always really, really cool unlockable characters. Like back in the Neversoft days, we got Spider-Man, eventually we got Wolverine, Jango Fett, Darth Maul. And then when we got to the 1 plus 2 remake, they dropped that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Nichts wurde gezeigt von Black Panther nach seinem Announcement im Jahr 2023, dass wir wussten, dass es ein Singleplayer-Aktion-Adventure-Open-World-Spiel werden wird. Black Panther wurde von den jetzt geschlossenen Cliffhanger-Spielen entwickelt, die im Jahr 2023 mit einigen ehemaligen Entwicklern des sehr geliebten Middle-Earth-Schattels von Mordor und von Kevin Stevens geführt wurden.

Oh man, zu WB. WB Games, WB as a whole. It's the same answer. This is a mess. And I do think that it's too far gone. I feel like we are similar to Ubisoft. We are at a point where there might be Band-Aids. There might be some solutions to solve some of the problems. But I do think that overall...

EVEN MORE WB Games Woes - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.27.25
dass es genug Schaden zu der Grundlage von dem, worüber wir reden, gibt, dass wir nicht unbedingt von diesem Problem zurückkehren werden. Viele verschiedene Gründe dafür.

EVEN MORE WB Games Woes - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.27.25
Natürlich, wenn du den Zustand dieser Generation der Konsole und der Pandemie und all das inkludierst, aber dann außerdem die Art und Weise, wie sich jedes Art und Weise der Medienlandschaft geändert hat, als Resultat dieser Dinge und du siehst WB speziell,

EVEN MORE WB Games Woes - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.27.25
und die Entscheidungen, die sie gemacht haben, und die Gebäude, die sie besitzen, und die Anzahl der Investitionen, die sie in sie investiert haben. Man kann über WB-Games nicht sprechen, ohne über WBs Filmslate zu sprechen und WBs Partnerschaften mit verschiedenen TV-Netzwerken oder Studios insgesamt zu sprechen. Weil das Geld irgendwo hin muss und es muss von irgendwo her kommen.

Und diese Zahlen müssen dann zu einem Punkt dazugehen, wo es alles wert ist. Oder sonst werden mehr und mehr Dinge aus Verschwörung ausgeschlossen.

Because look, I have full faith that Rocksteady can and probably will make another great video game. The problem is, cool, when will that actually release? And what landscape is that releasing in? And will they have enough resources and expectations be set correctly that even if that game is a success, that it won't end in the death of this company or whatever that looks like? Monolith is gone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EVEN MORE WB Games Woes - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.27.25
I haven't been on a show to talk about this. My first reaction when we heard the news was, Monolith ist einer der wenigen Teams, bei denen wir Prediktions-Episoden für jeden Showcase bekommen. Es ist die Frage, ob Monolith da sein wird. Sind sie etwas zu zeigen?

EVEN MORE WB Games Woes - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.27.25
An einem Punkt werden wir wieder Wonder Woman sehen. Oder sonst ist das Spiel weg. Und wenn das Spiel weg ist, ist das schlecht. Das Spiel ist weg. Es war schlecht. Monolith ist weg.

wann wird Xbox WB Games Teams benötigen, weißt du, wir haben darüber so viele Male gesprochen und dann ist das nicht geschehen und Xbox benötigte dann literally alle anderen, insbesondere Activision, wir hätten das nie kommen sehen können, aber es fühlte sich wie eine sehr echte Möglichkeit, als Phil diese Tournungen gemacht hat, als ich umgekehrt bin, war es so, oh, WB Games würde viel Sinn dafür machen, wo wir jetzt sind, es ist so, ich glaube einfach nicht, dass WB Games
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
EVEN MORE WB Games Woes - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.27.25
But I do think that, especially at a point where Xbox owns a shit ton of IP, and you have license, you have access to things that don't need to be these WB brands. Legitimately, these WB brands at a certain point, I think we're just in a very...

Yeah. But like, you know, very, very cool use of fun 80s, 90s, whatever IP with modernere, sehr spezifische Videogame-Genres.

That was Bank. Also, Pokémon Bank, ähm, naja, ich meine, die Antwort auf deine Frage, Greg, ist ja und immer. Es wird immer eine neue Kontroverse geben. Aber Bank war die alte Version von Home.

What's up, y'all? It's Tim Geddes from Kind of Funny. Here's the deal. We have been celebrating 10 amazing years of Kind of Funny, and it's been going great. We added the Kind of Funny membership to Apple Podcast and to Spotify. We added video on Spotify. We made a whole bunch of different changes to our content lineup. And with that, there's always going to be some hiccups and some hurdles.

One other thing, now moving to the KF membership side of things, we are trying our best to figure out the best workflow to record shows, edit shows, get them uploaded, and get them to you as fast and as high quality as possible in video and audio forms where applicable. And we are realizing there is a lot of issues with how Spotify handles things.

An Update on Kinda Funny Podcast Feeds
how Apple handles things, how Patreon handles things, how YouTube handles things, and we're trying to find the best path forward to get it to everyone as fast as possible. One major issue, not issue, one major thing we have noticed is the Spotify ad-free version for Kind of Funny members, the audio-only version, is the first thing to post...

An Update on Kinda Funny Podcast Feeds
then the public for everyone, but with ads, video and audio post at the same time, and then the video ad-free post on Spotify. That is out of our control, and it all has to do with processing. We upload, then it's on their end to process, and it is just in order of when that thing is done processing, and then it gets to everybody.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
An Update on Kinda Funny Podcast Feeds
We're trying our best to find ways to record in different codecs and formats and a whole bunch of production tricks and tips that we're trying out here to make that process as fast and, again, high quality as possible. But just letting you all know, we're doing everything we can to make this an optimal experience. It is just very difficult when we're working with other people and their systems.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
An Update on Kinda Funny Podcast Feeds
But you might notice if you are... This really mainly affects... Spotify non-Kind of Funny membership people. So if you're trying to get the show free on Spotify, you might notice that there's a lock on it. That is just because the version with ads that's free for everybody has not yet processed, but it is processing. So keep coming back, keep refreshing, and it'll eventually be there.

Or get the Kind of Funny membership, and it should be a little faster there. That's on Spotify. I don't want to get too much in the details here.

Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
What gets stupid for me... Sorry about that. Definitely not understanding this is what I don't understand in the global supply chain is... So if they're changing the retail price of this because of tariffs and stuff, I'm assuming then Amazon, Best Buy, Retailer X haven't ordered their thing yet. So that's got to be in the mix of how long you give people the pre-order, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Because Amazon's going to buy X million units and then have to get them up. But if they haven't bought that and there isn't a check paid to Nintendo for that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
So my thought there, and I hear you and I don't think you're wrong, but I think that as PlayStation is showing us week after week, month after month, they can change these things when they want to, right? And especially for 90 days or whatever it is and selling out at launch, I think they come up and they go, listen, base model 450, bundle 500.
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 what we're doing right now to protect us with this 10% that's guaranteed or X, Y, and Z. We're doing that, and they won't get in this level of detail at Nintendo. They'll just change that because of economic world things. And then, yes, if we go down in those 90 days and it changes over and Taiwan goes up even higher and da-da-da-da-da, or Vietnam, they come back and they do it again.

getting closer to holiday and then I don't think they want to I don't think they want to do any of this again I feel bad for Nintendo right so I think it but I don't think you go that far out as to like future proof something that's not there especially for a price you already announced you already announced it at 400 450 and now you're like ah we got to change it again do this thing and if we have to it's one of the it's the normal thing of 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 feel like, again, Nintendo announcing this at the worst possible time, not to their fault, is the idea that they did this, and if we get 90 days in, we're closer to holidays, and they have to go up $100 on these things, it's going to suck, but everyone else will be, and we'll all be in such dire straits of what the fuck's going on in the global economy right now because of this stupid goddamn administration that it won't be...

Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I don't like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But... Yeah, it's such a weird one for us of like, it's a business expense or whatever, right? But it's like, I feel like, I guess it's a weird one, yeah, because I would justify it for work no matter. Like 600 is where I'm like, ugh. I I'm questioning at 600 personally just for how much I use my switch one. Now, again, I'm being, well, I guess I'm not at 600.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I'm questioning it. Right. Based on how much we do it. And I think I'm, even then it might be, I would let us get the office unit that we buy or whatever we end up doing. And I'll play Mario cart here with y'all and then whatever, maybe, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

Today's Greg Way, everybody, is me talking to you about how and when we should re-review The Outer Worlds as we get ready, of course, for the big SGF, not, I think, officially connected, but Xbox showcase followed by The Outer Worlds 2 Direct. That game is coming this year still, apparently. We got to get it. But when's a good point in the calendar to do it? Is it right now?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Yeah, right. I thought for sure we would have seen something out there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I like having Greg Kasavin out there talking about Hades 2. Absolutely, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
yeah coming everything interesting right yeah yeah that makes sense i hadn't thought that far ahead you know what i mean we're always so on the next thing the next thing the next thing sgf and xbox i was talking about this in the gregway today i really hadn't it happened while i was gone even the announcement of their sgf or you know whatever their summer conference followed by outer worlds to uh direct or whatever and so like finally having a brain capacity to think about that yeah you're right i guess that they would be doing there are you do you think it's going to be uh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Oh, great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25

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 imminent on PlayStation, 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 mean, it's, you know, what? It'll be their... because I don't want to say it'll be whatever, but it'll be their latest example of their strategy actually working and being there. Xbox wants to be where you are. Xbox wants Xbox games in your hands wherever you are.
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 been a compelling argument for a long time, I think, between all of us and hardcore gamers, people listening or watching this show, but then to see that get out to the mainstream for so many people when that happens and Xbox games start showing up on their Switch and they see an Xbox Splash logo, they're going to be like, wait, what? But I'm playing on Switch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
They won't understand or know that that's happening the way that we know it's happening right now and that you can go get your Xbox anywhere and so on and so forth. This is an Xbox. Yeah, this is an Xbox.

100%. In the chat, and I don't even know if this is true, Isaac Reed says, they'll add it with an update. PS5 did that. And that's true, too. So that could be something that, for some reason, isn't working for launch, or they need to whatever, and then, yeah, they can patch it in later.

It might be eight stories.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
I wish all the stuff was inside of the open world. I wish it was Forza Horizon, where you turned it on and that was all there and you could go do all that stuff. Rather than choose I want to go do the cannonball run mode, choose I want to go to open world, choose I want to battle.
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 have to go to separate modes, right? I have to come back to the main menu to choose to go to all these. That's what you don't have to do in Forza, right? You can drive to the next race, you can do the next thing. That would populate the world of things to do and talk to, like you're talking about.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
But they were very clear that there's a free road mode.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
So there might be a little bit of free roam before you do it, but that would mean that in that mode, you can't go get the coins and you can't go get the thing. I think that's going to be the gating they're doing here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Which I think, on one hand, silly. On the other hand, it really doesn't matter because it'll be, I don't feel like racing anybody. I feel like going to get some coins. All right, I'm done with that. I want to go race the big thing. I need to practice. I need a time trial. I'll just go off and jump to all the different things. Yeah.

I was glad he didn't call us out because I thought that's when you send this, when you put it through and you're like, make sure we talk about this tomorrow when you put it into Slack yesterday. And I can never for the life of me find assets when I'm trying to get something to bear it. There's uncovered. If you jump to the end, bear it. I thought it was going to be about us in the button.

Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Remember the whole brouhaha with the button? I don't even remember what happened with the button except that we talked about the button the whole show hitting it, and then when we got there, somebody lost the button. We were going on stage at the end. We're like, where's the button? We don't know where the button is.

I'm like, well, we've built this up an entire live stream to hit the button in the Shrine Auditorium, but now we don't have the button. Okay, whatever. 7,000 screaming fans. And then we got really ripped apart, remember, by the Japanese commentators who were doing their reaction stream. They were all mad that we didn't use the button.

It is a lot of coins. My question to you is, do you think there's a lot more under the hood mechanically that we're going to have to learn? Are we going to have to relearn? Do you feel like, compared to y'all, I'm a what? Barry, you tell me. How good at Mario Kart am I? I'm not you and Tim. I know that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
You're good. You and Tim consume and play Mario Kart at a different level. You are pros, and I'm amateur pro or something like that.

Jerking the curtain comes up. Man, that's insane. No, I'm not a jobber, Marquise. That's what I'm saying. I'm still on the show. I'm just opening the show. Anyway, it doesn't matter. My question is, back to it. Are there a lot of new mechanics and strategies and things like that we're going to have to learn? Yes and no.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Well, I was just wondering how much, yeah, like, you know, the deep dives, the YouTube videos, the Treehouse directs you're going to get of coins have changed this and this, that, the other. Now when you do this, you should do that. Or if it is going to be, no, no, we're all going to, you know what you're doing, you know what you're doing. There'll be something to learn, but not crazy.

Just the headline to tease you. Number three. Nintendo Switch 2 VRR mentions disappear from Nintendo's website. Jordan Miller. Oh, okay. Okay. But back to the story number one. Yeah. As you said, an entire reaction and games cast up about this. You can get detailed, detailed, deep dives over there. Please do. Of course, the reactions up as a games cast as an audio.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Obviously, everything's on YouTube. I enjoyed the direct. I didn't expect anything crazy from the direct. I expected 15 minutes of Mario Kart, and that's what I got. I'm excited for Mario Kart. This game looks amazing. Like I said in there, I woke up to the fact that this is going to be the first game Ben and I play from Ground Zero together, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
We are just going, and we're going to learn at the same time. I'm going to be unlocking things with him. When he wants to play, I'm really going to want to play as well because I'll be so into it. That's I hadn't thought I'd wrap my head around that so far.

Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
No, I think it's so rare that we're together. If it's a weekday, then my birthday is something happening here. You know what I mean? So I like that when we're not together and you just have a day for Moose, it's also a day for me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
Every game Ben has played has been something I either don't care about, like Paw Patrol or something that I've played a million times and know incredibly well. So that's exciting here. I'm also not let down by this direct because I didn't expect the preorder information here. I didn't expect them to have new news. I think that's a different beat. And I do think that that's a disappointing beat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Where Are The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.17.25
So you'd have this marketing beat today of here's Mario Kart 8 or Mario Kart World. It's awesome. Here's why it's incredible. Here's all these cool things. We hope you like what you saw. Great. And then you let that be the good news for a while. And then next week, come in with the bad news.

Ich meine, das wäre unglaublich. Das wäre so ein riesiges... Ich meine, du kannst das nicht mal mit dem aktuellen Switch aus dem aktuellen USB-C machen, richtig? Ja, ja. Also, wenn das die Funktionalität ist, denke ich, das wäre ein großer Schritt nach oben.

Ich liebe diese Größenvergleich. Ich hoffe, dass sie etwas breiter werden. Ich mag die dritten Teilen, die ich habe, die ein bisschen mehr halten. Aber ich glaube, dass die extra...

Es ist eine moderne Technologie mit analogen Sticks, die mit einigen der dritten-Party-Sticks begonnen hat, aber jetzt auch die ersten-Party-Sticks. Es verhindert Stickdrift.

Yeah, so this part, sorry, let's go back and talk about it, because interesting that the, I don't even remember what the hell they call them, but like the Joy-Con straps or whatever seem a bit more of like a Oh, don't just throw these things away. You know what I mean? Like a lot of us did with the Switch.

Oh, okay, okay. Also jemand hat ein paar Tage nach dem Genki-CES-Stuff ein CG-Mockup der Mice veröffentlicht, wie es funktionieren könnte. Und sie haben Metroid Prime 4 gespielt, zumindest ein Video davon. Und ja, es sah aus wie...

Tim Gettys, this is how first person shooters should be played, where in the left hand it was like the analog controller side and then the right hand was like more of a mouse. But like a mouse to me makes sense because there's like buttons to click on the top. Like, I just look at it. Yeah, okay. Is that going to feel good? I don't buy it.

Huh. I mean... Look, I know we look at this and it's Mario Kart. Again, that's a good thing. We're talking about more of like... Don't fucking start with me. This is going to be the first Nintendo system that online is to some extent figured out. This Mario Kart is going to actually have online functionality with our understanding of how people are playing games these days.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
I feel like more players and more of a focus on online multiplayer is definitely going to be a thing with this. I think that will differentiate it from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe so far. So... Ich freue mich, wenn ich das sehe. Ich denke, dass es hier viel Potenzial für coole Dinge gibt.

These are maybe character skins. This is 3D Mario Donkey Kong. Could be character skins. Ja, du hast recht. Skins in Mario Kart wäre eine erstaunliche neue Edition. In Smash Bros. gibt es Fire Mario und so weiter. Das wäre cool. Low Poly 64 Mario.

Yeah, Andy, I wonder if you're kind of onto something here, where, like, because the only characters we're actually seeing here are, like, the core MarioCast and Donkey Kong. And I wonder if that's on purpose of, like... Ja, der Mario Kart sieht so aus. Aber der Donkey Kong sieht anders aus.

Gehen wir zurück zu den letzten Bildern. Das sind die Nerd-Informationen, über die ich sehr gespannt bin. Ich habe es lieb, das Klick hier zu sehen. For sure. Great to start off the Switch 2 with debatably the best library of games ever, both physical and digital, to be able to be playable.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
And I also think that this is a good sign for the horsemen to continue to come out the next couple of months as we lead into the Switch 2, kind of without fear of like, oh man, why is this happening? Because like, it sucks that Metroid Prime, another Samus, no, what the fuck was it called? Metroid Prime 2. Samus Returns.

Ich denke, du wirst dich nicht über das jetzt trauen, in drei Jahren wirst du mich trauen. Siehst du, ich bin nur, ich bin mehr in Ordnung damit, weil es sich alles um die, mir und Eddie haben wir gerade gesprochen, über die Aspekt-Ratio der Steam Deck. Es ist so, wenn du höher wirst, musst du dafür arbeiten, sonst wirst du die Aspekt-Ratio verletzen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Und das letzte, was ich will, ist, dass Nintendo sagt, hey, wir können endlich dritte-Party-Games spielen, aber nur, wenn du diese funky Aspekt-Ratio machst, die niemand will. Ja.

We got some more updates on information on this thing. Jason Schreier on Blue Sky says, if you're wondering, one reason to randomly drop a Switch 2 teaser two and a half months ahead of the proper reveal would be to allow third-party companies to start officially announcing their games for the system.

We don't need Nintendo-published games to look better. We just need them to run better at this point. And that's not untrue across the board. There are examples of games, clearly things like Scarlet and Violet, that are pieces of shit. But I feel like so many other games, like Mario Kart, I don't need Mario Kart to have more... ... Textures.

But yeah, I mean, this is interesting, right? There was all the rumors the last week we've talked about of Metal Gear Solid Delta and all the Ubisoft games as well. So I feel like at some point we're gonna get more info on this. I mean, Metal Gear, I think, is a great starting point. We don't know when that game's coming. Still don't have the release date for it.

Ich meine, es ist Nintendo, also in dem Sinne, dass ich denke, dass es viele nerdige Spiele gibt, aber ich denke, dass es in Bezug auf all die Technik und all das, ich denke nicht, dass es so nerdig wird. Auf der Ebene von Nintendo zu Mark Cerny. Es wird Nintendo sein. Okay. Ja, ich meine, ich denke, dass es... Wir werden keine Zahlen bekommen.

1, 2, 3, kid. Oh my god. Pricing, date, pricing. I think those are the two big things that in addition to games we'll get at this April event, whatever they are. And SKUs, if there are multiple ones.

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Ja, es gibt die grünen und die... Oh, waren es verschiedene Erinnerungen? Ja, hatten sie nicht verschiedene... Es gab verschiedene Preise auf sie, ich bin mir ziemlich sicher. Für irgendeinen Grund. Ich glaube, es waren 8 und 16 GB oder so etwas.

What does that mean? Let's dig into this. What time is that in Japan? I mean, this is what it means, Bless. There's just no patterns. There's no consistency. There's nothing to learn from Nintendo's past, as much as we try. Yeah. They'll always throw us off just a little bit. WNDs put them up. WNDs, I kind of love it though. I kind of love it because I love that there's the speculation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I want to get into something here because Rebecca Valentine has an article over at IGN. How much will the Nintendo Switch 2 cost? Analysts weigh in. Almost everyone is saying the same number, which is $400. We spoke to a number of analysts about this morning's announcement and asked them, among other things, how much they think Nintendo will charge for the Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
And while answers all varied slightly, one number kept coming up over and over. $400. Dr. Serkin Toto of Kantan Games Inc. called $400 the price they need to succeed, saying that he cannot see a lot from the trailer that would justify them charging $450.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
This would be a step up from the $300 launch price of the original Switch, the OLEDs $350, Switchlights $200, a slightly more powerful version of the same thing, making $400 seem like a reasonable landing zone.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
And then other analysts such as Matt Piscitella and Pierce Harding-Rolls all seem to affirm this number, though both Harding-Rolls and Piscitella suggested that the price would likely not impact sales much as long as it wasn't too ridiculously high, suggesting the price could go as high as 500, but that his base sales projections are based on 400.

I was talking to Greg about this a couple days ago, where momentum is the most important thing they have, and that's why I'm so happy this is the Switch 2. This does just seem to be the next logical answer. Like, good, good, good. The one...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
fear is the switch was so great because the momentum of releases of quality releases it had but so much of that was not only them not having to make software for handheld and home consoles because they got rid of the ds we split it was just one thing but it was also they had fünf Jahre lang von Wii-U-Games in Deluxe Edition und Port über.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Also verlieren wir diese, weil wir bis zu einer Hälfte, wenn nicht sogar wertvoller, haben. Und einige der größeren, wie Xenoblade Chronicles X, kommen dieses Jahr, um das auszufüllen. Sobald diese vorbei sind, können Sie immer wieder zurückgehen zu noch älteren Dingen und so weiter.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Aber sie haben nicht das gleiche Gewicht, wie diese Wii-U-Games, die die meisten Leute nicht gespielt haben, die das erste Mal gespielt haben. Ich meine, der Fakt, dass wir bei Donkey Kong Country Returns sind, ein Wii-Spiel, das wichtig ist, erklärt mein Punkt viel. Aber das wird dann hoffentlich mit den Dritten-Party-Spielen gefüllt.

Wo sie ein System haben, das genug mächtig ist, ob intern oder mit AI-Super-Sampling und all dem, um die Assassin's Creed und die Witcher-Spiele zu spielen. Und so etwas, zum einen. Cyberpunk und all das. Ich fühle mich, dass das zumindest die Bibliothek für

And you know, we're in the realm of it. We kind of had the idea that we were prepared to do this today to some extent.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Yeah, totally. And I feel like we've said this a lot, but it's like this has been such a great final year of a console, like for the amount of new titles they put out and the amount of like old ports or remasters or remakes of things that people actually wanted, like really good stuff. And they're continuing to do that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
There's still more things like Zelda, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, which at this point they could still announce at a direct before April for Switch, but that is playable on Switch too. And like, you know, I think that's the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Eine der großen Dinge, die sie heute nicht gesprochen haben, und ich verstehe das, aber während der Nintendo Direct, müssen sie zumindest erklären, wie alte Switch-Games auf der Switch 2 funktionieren werden. Ist da eine Unterschiede?

Anything that uses the smaller Joy-Con. So things like that, I think, are the only things at risk. I don't know, I mean, I don't think it's confirmed that this has Amiibo-Support, so potentially certain... IGN called out, yeah, that they didn't see the sensor or whatever for Amiibos.

Hi, we got a report from Bloomberg here from Robin Seuss, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, saying ahead of the announcement that Nintendo has prepared a supply chain network that will allow the company to sell more than 20 million units in its first year. That compares with the current Switch's sale of around 15 million units in its first four quarters.

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Es ist interessant, der Switch zu sein, so ein langweiliger Erfolg. Kann der Switch auch? Ist es irgendein Weltraum, in dem es sich halten kann oder sich auspacen kann? Es ist ziemlich schwer zu vorstellen und zu glauben, nur wegen der Anzahl der Faktoren, die der Switch vorhat und der Zeitung. Die Pandemie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Die Pandemie und sogar 2017, die Erwartungen von, oh mein Gott, das ist ein portabler System und ich kann auf es das Wilde spielen. I don't know that lightning is possible to even capture again, but I also think there's a lot of other factors that there's just more interest in gaming now, and I feel like people are going to want the sequel to all the games that they played 10 years ago.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Yeah, exactly. Nintendo's whole bread and butter is understanding that family ecosystem. What I'm interested in is these numbers. This is good, right? Them being prepared for 20 million units, which is 5 million more than the Switch 1. That tells me that These are going to be more readily available. Plentiful.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Not only will they be more available, but they expect to be able to sell that much, which means they expect that they have a software lineup that is exciting enough to sell that much. This is all just really back-end good news for me. But I am interested that April 2nd we'll get the details on what the launch lineup looks like. Ich finde es wirklich interessant, dass, als wir den 1.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Oktober-Blick auf der Switch 1 hatten, und wir den Blick auf den 3D-Mario bekamen, dass das kein Launch-Game war. Und wir hatten auch einen Blick auf Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Das war kein Launch-Game. Das war das nächste Monat oder zwei Monate nach dem Launch-Game. Ich erinnere mich daran, dass ich am Januar-Event geblieben bin, als sie durchgingen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Und es war Mario Odyssey, das kommt später dieses Jahr. Und ich dachte mir, verdammt, wirklich? Ja. Nintendo hat immer, in dieser Generation, darüber gesprochen, dass sie die monatlichen Droppen von Dingen haben. Also, an diesem Punkt lehne ich mich auf Mario Kart 9, was auch immer der Launchtitel ist, aber ich glaube nicht, dass das ein Locker ist.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
That's the thing. I think we're already too backed up because of the dates that we're talking about here. I think that at this point I feel comfortable saying it's an 80% chance that Mario Kart is the big launch title. I'm just saying it's not a guarantee based on this. So if we're going off of that, Mario Kart at launch, what are the other expectations? We're expecting launch to be earliest June.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Right? With now in April kind of reveal on this. So earliest June, that gives us just six months for the rest of the year. Less than that if you're like accounting for how holidays work and Black Friday and stuff. So we're really only dealing with like five months. I don't think that you want to put out every single thing you have back to back to back to back those first five months.

But also we know that they have a lot that is expected during that time frame. Because if we're talking Mario Kart, we're talking Pokemon ZA, we're talking Metroid Prime 4. Those alone are like Holy crap, heavy ass hitters in different ways. And that's not even mentioning a 3D Mario that I am convinced is happening this year.

Du lebst in einem Land von Träumen, aber Andy, ich will mit dir träumen. Ich denke, es war mir und Blastown über das ein paar Tage ago. Der Fakt, dass man Mario Galaxy 1 nicht kaufen kann, auf der Switch gerade, sogar einen.

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Yeah, you can't buy Mario 3D All-Stars at all. Just WND, that's so... It is the biggest WND of all time. So yeah, at some point, I mean, the fact that they, with that show, they're not scared to put those games on modern consoles, like... Maybe they will, but I don't know. Like, that's gonna be... They gotta bring that shit back, man.

Muss man hoffen. Net-Zero. Sean Morton sagt, Switch 2 hat die Kurven, Jungs, lass uns fucking gehen. Pork Soda sagt, ich bin ein großer Nintendo-Fan, das war der größte Verlust in der letzten Erinnerung. Keine Spiele, keine Spezifikationen, kein Preis, nichts. Das tut weh.

Ein Leben lang. Verrückend. Dann haben wir Cheyenne gesagt, Glitch für den Switch. Yep. Hooded Robin says, I'm officially angry at Barrett for putting the idea of Switch in my head. Switch with two I's. And it not being real. But I'm happy we're here anyways, finally. CJ Splitson said, would you be disappointed if Mario Kart 9 is cross-gen?

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Das ist sehr interessant und ich würde nicht überrascht sein, wenn es das ist. Ich verstehe den Argument, dass man die Switch auch verkaufen muss, aber ich denke auch, dass man auch Kopien von Mario Kart verkaufen muss. Und sie verkaufen eine Literal-Bazillion davon.

Wenn sie Metroid Prime und Mario Kart veröffentlichen, werde ich so traurig sein. Verzeih mir nicht Metroid. Sei nicht dumm. Veröffentlich es im nächsten Monat. Ein Monat. Warte ein Monat.

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Das ist der Grund. Also, der richtige Weg, wenn Nintendo einfach nur maximieren will, wie viel Geld gemacht wird, Launchpad Metric Prime 4, weil sie sowieso aus der Switch 2 verkaufen werden. Und dann nächstes Monat Mario Kart. Du bekommst das zweite Wettbewerb, das zweite Marketing Interesse. Jeder Influencer und Twitch Streamer auf der Welt wird Mario Kart spielen.

Das wird noch mehr Menschen ermöglichen. Bis zu diesem Punkt werden es noch mehr zu einer Art und Weise vorhanden sein. Die Gespräche, oh fuck, ich brauche die Switch, ich brauche die Switch, wie die Bedrohung zu erschaffen. That's the move. And again, that is more similar to how Nintendo has functioned in the past. But you can never look at the past to tell the future.

Say what's up to Zelda Breath of the Wild. I mean, that completely changed the game in terms of sales numbers.

It was the best selling Metroid game we've ever had.

Nein, aber ich sage nicht, dass ich darüber argumentiere, aber ich sage, wann wird Metroid starten? Der Moment, an dem Nintendo eine neue Metroid-Nummer aufbaut und es so drückt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe came out a month after Breath of the Wild. I'm telling you, we're not getting two major launch titles on the Switch. They've been working on Metroid. It's retro. They're not going to put Retro's game out to die. They're just not.

Wir bekommen jedes Jahr ein Zelda-Spiel. Das ist einfach so, wie das Scheiß funktioniert. Und wie die Switch es mag, und wie sie Geld aus Software verdienen mag. Wir bekommen jedes Jahr ein Zelda-Spiel, für den Rest des Tages, ohne dass sie einen Break brauchen, wie Pokémon. Dieses Jahr ist, glaube ich, das Jahr für Wind Waker und Twilight Princess. Wiederum, es könnte nicht ein Switch 2 sein.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Dieses Jahr. Ja, ich denke es wird ein Switch-Spiel und ich denke es wird auf Switch 2 spielbar und das ist ihre Antwort auf das. Und dann nächstes Jahr ist es Ocarina Baby.

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
I don't think so. I don't think so, but I do think that it'll be more than... They're not just going to do what they just did with Donkey Kong, which is take the 3DS port that already was a proper remaster of Ocarina.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
I hope that they, yeah, exactly. Never forget that. I hope they continue it. I also expect that they'll continue it, but they're never going to not call it Mario Kart. The Mario Kart brand is just way too important. They're not going to call it Nintendo Kart. That would lose them sales.

DeadEye616 sagt, wenn das Maus-Rumor wahr ist, wie würde das Gameplay für Metroid Prime 4 funktionieren? Ich meine, es ist nur ein 1-Person-Schützer, richtig? Die linke Stange wäre Kontrolle und dann wäre die rechte Maus am Schießen. Ja. Das ist es.

Nick Northrup sagt, DS-Games auf der Switch 2 werden einfacher zu spielen mit dem Joy-Con-Maus. Meine Mario Kart 9-Wishlist wäre ein Forza Horizon-Style Open World in Mario Kart. Bitte auch OLED. Ich habe fast Tränen. Mein Geist sagt mir, dass Mario Kart, der nächste, mehr offen wird. Und am wenigsten irgendeine Art von Open-Mode wie Diddy Kong oder Crash Team Racing oder so etwas.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Ich weiß nicht. Ich finde es zu offensichtlich. Ich denke, es muss passieren.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I mean, they had Mission Mode and things like that in DS. I feel like it's leaning towards going towards it eventually.

Then we got... Ich versuche, gute Sachen zu finden. Just Six says, maybe it's just my weird association, but Mario Kart reminds me of the opening of Final Fantasy XV. And now I'm like, okay, but what if the standard Mario Kart, but it also has an open world for it's a Diddy Kong racing mode. That's right. It does kind of look like a pit stop situation in Final Fantasy. Speaking of Final Fantasy.

That track looked real big. It did look more open. It looked flat. And again, we're not getting all the gravity stuff, which I do think lends to a bit more open of a situation. The track looked massive.

Aber es scheint zu groß zu sein. Das Schlimmste ist auch... Da war das Wario-Level in... Ich vergesse nicht, wie es heißt. Der Wario-Snow-Mountain. Wo es keine Lappen gibt. Wo es keine Lappen gibt. Und ich glaube, wir haben in der DLC... Und das sind die besten Lappen. Ja, in der DLC haben wir noch ein paar mehr von diesen Leveln.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Star Fox Adventure or something. Yeah. I mean, for me, it's Elden Ring. Like, I want to see that. Like, I feel like that would be, that would surprise so many people. And I think it would be such a statement on what the Switch 2 is capable of and going to be. And like, that's how you get them numbers up. Sickos. You sicko.

Gareth Ross UK sagt... Nintendo Switch 1, Oktober 2016 announced, January public hands-on, March release. Nintendo Switch 2, January announced, April hands-on. June release is absolutely the release. Mario 1, Mario 2. I feel like June's the most likely. I've seen a lot of people that were also saying, today's the day for this, saying July 11th as the date.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

J. Gwad bringt auf, dass es verschiedene Skinnen sein könnte, was sehr spannend wäre. Und dann sagt Average Joe, wie denkt ihr, wie die Stickdrift sein wird? Ich weiß, es war ein großer Problem mit der originalen Switch. Sie haben es nicht veröffentlicht, aber die Menge, auf die sie sich konzentriert haben, die Analog zu zeigen, sagt mir, dass es die Leaks abdeckt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Es wird Hall-Effect-Sticks haben, also wird die Stickdrift kein Problem sein. Foxy Steve sagt, das macht einfach Sinn. Du iterierst auf das, was dich zum Tanz gebracht hat und innovierst die Software, die es runnt. Hell ja. Ähm... Krono sagt, mit Nate the Hate getting this prediction right, I now see his other predictions of Halo on Switch 2 and others being more correct as well.

That is another interesting thing to think about. Gears of War Ultimate Edition and Master Chief Collection coming to the Switch 2 this year. Appistude says, Legion Go has the same mouse gimmick and it's useful at times for portable first person shooter games, but wonder what Nintendo has in mind. Oh, Metaphor.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
I think Metaphor is a year one game. I hope so. I think for sure. They've had so much success selling games on the Switch and they were all mega delayed that I think that they're going to prioritize it because they know that the audience is there for those games.

High Voltage says it looks like it will have 24 players in Mario Kart. Gerald of Rivias says, Shout out to the graphic designers and animators who made the trailer. Having the Switch 1 morphed from the 2 was great. Yeah, I thought that was great. Also, and he brought up the music and stuff. I love how quintessentially Nintendo it is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
That sounded like whoever composed the Nintendo Direct music and all that stuff was involved in this. And also, we didn't talk much about the Snap sound remaining, but it is more of a clank. I got the clank, everybody.

Klapp es an, das fucking Ding. Klapp es an, das Ding. Los geht's, Mann. Und dann sagt Dean, wie siehst du die Farben in der Zukunft? Wenn die Rot und Blau auf der Seite des Switches sind, sind diese Farben-Akzente da, um zu bleiben. Ja, das ist etwas, was ich nicht mag, ist, dass die Switch-Konsole selbst die Farben am Inneren hat. Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja. Mario Paint.

Electric Greg Tar says, do you have any concerns about the Joy-Cons falling out of the handheld screen after a while since they won't slide anymore? That's the coolest thing that, like, again, this trailer doesn't fully show or explain, but because it's backing up all the leaks we've seen, the leaks have explained, there's like electromagnetic magnets that are gonna suck that thing on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
So I'm really excited about this, because it feels like it's gonna be sturdy as hell, and it's like, you're not gonna be able to pull it off. Like, remember we watched on Games Daily, we watched those, like, demo videos of these type of magnets, and it was like... There's no fucking around with them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Wir werden so viele Gespräche über die Switch 2 in den kommenden Monaten haben. Aber eine Sache, die ich da rausnehmen möchte, ist, dass ich interessiert bin, die Indie-Game-Konversation zu haben. Denn die Switch 1 war so eine wichtige Teil dieser modernen Renaissance der Indie-Games. Nicht nur Renaissance, sondern modernen...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
weil Nintendo über seine Spiele und ihre Release-Strategie spricht. Aber jetzt, dass Nintendo noch mehr Spiele und dritte-Party-Support haben wird, denke ich nicht, dass es die gleiche Goldrush-Situation sein wird. Ich frage mich, wie das aussieht. Interessant, was du hier sagst, Mike, aber wir werden sehen, was runterkommt.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Wir werden sehen. Ja, ja. Das war ein bisschen offensichtlich. Ich wollte nicht zu nahe sein. Sie können es fixieren. Ja, wir fixieren es. Wir fixieren es, Leute.

Nun, es sieht so aus, als ob sie sich in das Accessoire eingelassen haben, als sie das Maus-Ding gemacht haben. Also denke ich, es hat sich nur größer ausgeschaut, als sie das Teil angetan haben.

Andy Cortez.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
I'm so stoked about this. They're giving me everything I want here. It's the Switch 2. They're not playing around. They're literally just giving us the thing we love that they did right, but better. And hopefully that's OLED. Not confirmed or denied. Don't love the bezel here. I don't hate the bezel here. I'm not too mad at it. I feel like it's okay here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
But what would go a long way for that bezel is some OLED. Then it would just freaking disappear. Love the black look. I think it's the right move to show, hey, this is growing up a bit. This is the evolved version. This is new. Reminds me a lot of the more colorful PS1 going to the PlayStation 2. People taking it more seriously. I think that that's going to happen here with the Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Great way to differentiate from the Switch 1. I feel like they're entirely avoiding the Wii U problem that we've been talking about forever. Not just in title, but also just in look. How bigger it is, I am pretty surprised by. I know it's leaked. I know that's what everyone's been talking about. But this is big. This is now Steam Deck levels. This is a, if not bigger...

Das ist für mich ein Beispiel von Dingen, die immer verlagert werden und es gibt Geräusche und ist das wirklich so? Ist das nicht alles? Und viele der Tage sind diese Dinge gut. Und dann, wenn wir tatsächlich das Ding bekommen, ist es so, dass die guten Geräusche nicht wirklich waren.

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Ich meine, ich denke, Metroid Prime. Ich denke, es ist wie slower based. Ich verstehe, dass es viele Dinge gibt, die man mitnehmen könnte. Ich denke, es fühlt sich gut an. Ich denke, es fühlt sich gut an, wo auch immer du bist, du spielst portablos auf dem Switch. Ich denke, wenn du ein Switch auf einem Flugzeug spielst, was wirst du tun? Drück das Ding raus und verwende deine Nachbarn?

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Live Reaction - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.16.25
Ja, ich weiß. Ich würde nicht überrascht, wenn wir diese Funktionalität immer noch bekommen. Ich liebe, dass die Joy-Cons größer sind. Es ist schwer zu erkennen, ob die Facebuttons größer sind oder nicht. Von den kleinen Bildern, die sie hier zeigen. Ich glaube, dass sie es sind. Ich glaube, dass sie es sind. Und ja, die Hall-Effect-Sticks, hoffentlich, das ist definitiv ein großer Erfolg.

years ago sure and I think now is that time I feel like anytime earlier would have been a little like jump in the gun but this is I mean like again like this is a big day for them to do this this is a big statement and I think for so many of us we can scoff at it laugh at the commercial make the jokes that were an Xbox nicer leaning into the merch or whatever like you know they know it's a goofy slogan to a degree right but it is the idea we've all known this for a long time but we've also said on this show for a long time that

And they're doing something interesting and doing something different because they lost. Oh, yeah. I don't want to mince words and act like, oh, they chose this. No, they lost a generation. And it was, as Phil said, the worst generation to lose. So they're like to see a company being competitive and trying to keep up and then pushing technology in a different space.

He's been talking a lot in the chat, and so we've been going back and forth, and so I brought up the song just to scare you. I did bring up Discord just in case he was prepared. But yeah, we decided to get your ass, Tim. Great.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
The other thing that I think is just the exhaustion that I feel similarly to you, Bless, and the point that you brought up, Tim, is like less so people's critiques of our critiques or our positivity. It's more so like I feel like there is.

The thing with Mind's Eye reminds me a lot of what was the single player campaign Remedy was brought on to do for like... Crossfire X. That's the same level of like... Not that this feels right. Yes, you just list it off in a bunch of names and all this stuff, but there's just something that's coming together that just feels off and weird. I'm saying this to assets.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
this lack of separation of understanding what makes a good showcase and what a showcase has that is for you personally, that I think like a lot of people get upset about when they don't see the one game that they wanted to see at a state of play, which is, you know, whatever. But then it's immediately like L fucking showcase zero out of 10. It was mid kind of thing.

Why Weren’t These PlayStation Announcements in The State of Play? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.13.25
And I think that's, like, part of the exhaustion for myself is, like, yesterday was fun. And it was a nice time. And we – I feel like a lot of us have at least, like, five games that we're all at least excited about. You know, yeah, it would have been cool to see Wolverine or something like that.

That game has had some legs when you think about it. That game is still alive. Getting updates and rolling. Do I know someone in my life that's still playing Day of the Diver? Absolutely not. But there's someone out there that's still continuing on and getting excited.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Are you serious, Mike?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
We skipped over Splitgate. Splitgate 2 on the Alpha. This is a game here that, my personal opinion, it is a great game. It's a lot of fun to play if you're looking for a team shooter. We really like the portal use. It just, in my mind, is like, that's a lost game. We have no idea where this was, right? Like, Splitgate, when that first came out, was massive.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
That took over the Halo world right there. And then we kind of just moved into we're going to make Splitgate 2. We're in alphas. We're in betas. We're not quite there to the finish line yet. And I don't know when we will see that finish line. I just don't know what the hype is. But now they're introducing a three-team, 24-player arena here. So that will be interesting to see. It just doesn't...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
Yeah, how do you make... I mean, it's interesting because I'm not the biggest wrestling fan. And so when I do jump into the WWE 2K games, I am looking for a little bit more to grab me as that casual audience. And I think that's what they've done with the NBA 2K franchises. They figured out, oh, how do we elevate my player, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
And that my rise that Greg always talks about, how do we take that, share that in the universe with your friends... And maybe make that a little bit more fun than just the generic row body. Here's the storyline. You're going to follow it right through wrestling. And so a lot of people love my rise. I think a lot of people will vibe with this in that WWE community.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
It will be the issue of when Greg said, Oh, I don't want them to take my rise away from me one day. They will. Right. That's what they did with two K where they blend the story of Mike player and that together. Uh, when I look at the Island, uh, It looks fun, right? Like, that's the catch is, like, the neighborhood is just the neighborhood. This is, like, dumb fun. They got weird lighting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

They got crazy outfits.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25
You will come into this game as a 62 overall in all brown, your UPS driver outfit, and they will say, give me $70. I'll make you a 77 or an 82, whatever that number they set to be. And you're going to say, well, shit, Mike's already 87, and he's fucking flying off the top ropes. I got to do that. So then you will give them $70, or you can grind.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Post-Show - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.12.25

In a message posted on its official website, Square Enix has confirmed that the party goes on season, which starts on December 13th and lasts until January 17th, 2025, will be the final new season of content. The game will continue to run, however, with Square making the previous seasons available again for players to work through if they missed them before, which is pretty cool.

What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
In the concluding update, expansions will be introduced to enhance gameplay, such as the ability to customize shots of each character, and new enhancements elements, such as prism gems, all aimed at ensuring players can continue to enjoy the game for the foreseeable future. All online services will remain available after the party goes on season ends.

What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
In addition, we plan to hold the Foam Stars Cup, a series of in-game events named after each character. Furthermore, to ensure that new players can fully enjoy Foam Stars, previous season passes will be made available again. Players can switch between season passes at any time to proceed along the season pass track of your choice and obtain items from past seasons.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
This will make it possible for players to obtain all the items from each season. In a letter to players, the game's producer, Kosoke Okotani, thanked fans for playing and said that they hoped they will continue to enjoy Foam Stars for many years to come. I don't want this to sound like a final message since you will be able to continue playing the game. He's stressed. He's stressed. He's stressed.

Let me jump in here. Obviously, we've seen this story a million times. These type of games, multiplayer games, they come, they go. I mean, it feels like it was just yesterday that we were talking about Defiant. It was. Yeah, it was. X-Defiant. X-Defiant. This here feels like an inevitability. Homestars eventually having to end, not being supported with new stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
I mean, I feel like most of us would have called that. This seems like a good, positive way to do it, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
And maybe I'm being a little too optimistic here, but I feel like with what... The game is, and how we've seen it, and the way that the devs have talked about it, it always did kind of feel like... It was supposed to be its little niche.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Yeah, and them doing these moves of adding the season passes back, making sure the game will be playable, we'll see how long that actually lasts, but this does sound almost like there was a plan for this somewhere along the line of like, hey, let's hope that this blows up, but if it doesn't, we can kind of pull the ripcord in a way that like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
We don't need to just crash the game and have this be this epic failure. It can kind of be like, hey, we wanted to take this to the moon, but we ended up getting down to 15th Avenue. You know what I mean? But let's have fun at 15th Avenue. Let's make a block party out of it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
And again, being very hopeful there. But just seeing the trajectory of Foam Stars specifically and the way that that game was first shown and then the way that they've kind of been putting out these updates, it just seems like They knew, and they tried. I think that's the other thing, too, is a lot of these games, they try, and there's a good game there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
There's fun there, but can that fun find the audience it needs to be able to continue making new content? That, I think, is the biggest struggle that everybody has, even the biggest, even PlayStation, right? So, yeah, again, bummer news here for sure, but I also think... We are just in an era that there has to be a plan.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
And if they didn't plan this way, like you're saying, going forward, there needs to be that kind of understanding of At a certain point, the fingers need to be pointed at people of like, why the fuck are you doing this if you know it's not going to work out in a year even? And if your plan's for a killer year, then cool. Games can have a shelf life. Of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And you bring it up, Outriders, I do think is a very apt example. But I just think that they're... there needs to be kind of buy-in on that from every level and of course that includes the developers making the game the pocket holders on top of them that are funding everything but then also just kind of just business decisions overall in understanding what

Yeah. Story number four. EA has made 23 more of its accessibility patents free for any studio to use. This comes from Chris Scullion at VGC. That sounds good. This is good news, Tim. Yeah, we're going to end on some good news.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
news today electronic arts has added a further 23 patents to its ongoing patent pledge the pledge was initially launched in august 2021 with ea offering to share five of its previously protected patents which improved accessibility for players this has grown to 15 patents over the past few years and now a further 23 have been added bringing the total to 38 patents according to ea any other game developer can use these patents without having to pay any money or risk being sued

What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
The newly added patents include the following technologies as described by EA. Intelligent personalized speech recognition. Speech recognition system that improves the accuracy and efficiency of speech recognition by using personal bottom memes mappings for each user to better understand accent and other pronunciation variations such as those resulting from speech impairments. Very cool. Phonem.

Phonem.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Generating expressive speech audio from text data. A system that generates expressive speech audio from text data provides more control and personalization of the generated speech based on desired speaking style and speaker attributes. Also very cool. Generating speech in the voice of a player of a video game. Voice aging using machine learning.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Emotion-based music style change using deep learning. Interesting. So a system that infers a player's emotion while playing a video game and tunes the background soundtrack of the game to best fit that emotion. Huh.

If you fucking try it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Yeah, it really is, especially because, you know, we talk a fair bit about accessibility options in games, and I've always been so impressed with PlayStation and how they've taken it so seriously between PlayStation Studios. I remember being at PSX in 2016, and we did our PS I Love You panel, and there was, like, a big panel with Shu and, like, a whole bunch of, like, these, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
pretty major panels after us, like the naughty dog, like Neil Druckmann came out. And at that point, um,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
last of us 2 had just been announced i think or like it was just like a lot of like big conversations uh during like really kind of the upswing of the ps4 and they gave a prime time slot to accessibility and how they are uh focusing on it across playstation studios and how they're using each of their projects to to learn and kind of like help out the other developers on their teams and i just thought that that was so cool and that was you know eight years ago
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
And to see how the industry, and Microsoft specifically, have done such a great job to get the hardware out there, so many different forms of hardware, software to back it all up. And yeah, just this willingness to, within the ecosystems of each of the big three, Nintendo kind of being its own thing that needs to work on stuff a lot. But to see EA, which is a bit more of that
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
omnipresent third party. This can help everybody. Great stuff. You know, like this is the type of tech that there really needs to be just a sharing of not just information, but resources to be able to have more standardized options in games so that more people can play games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
And it allows more people to play the game, which allows more people to buy the game, which allows more success for... Players enjoying good video games and for small teams to be able to get their product out there. Everybody wins with this stuff. So good on UEA for this one. This is big news. Real big that they're doing this, Andy.

Bam255019 says, with Sega pulling a lot of their old games from the storefront, do you think it's because of them releasing new versions of them or a collection? I saw this. A lot of the Dreamcast games that originally came out on... Xbox Live Arcade back in the 360 days or so. They've constantly just kind of been there and available and now they're gone. So I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
I do think that Sega clearly cares about putting their games out in as many places as possible. So I don't think they'll be gone for long because I feel like they will find a way to get... Sonic always finds a way. The streets need Space Channel 5. Oh, of course. Yes, of course. I think that they'll... they'll end up back in some way, shape, or form sooner than later.

But what if I told you that I already did all that part and I can just give you the answers? It's the cheat code to just get to the end. Because we're kind of reaching endgame at this point. I still haven't got my Retroid Pocket 5. It's still in China. Making its way over here is just taking a long cut.

Yeah, yeah. Fakit says, GTA 6 talk. Normally, Rockstars delays the PC a year to cash in on double dippers, but do you think that a year of lost revenue on GTA Online for those who wait might make them release the console and PC day and date? For some reason, I feel like more than ever, it's likely that PC will be day and date for GTA 6.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
I don't think that it's a sure thing, but I don't think it's as impossible as it was the last couple games. I just think that the industry has changed so much that... And game development as well has just changed that, like, I just think that a PC version of the game is probably going to be easier to get finished than in the past.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
I mean, that's the thing I do think it comes down to you bringing up that second wave of marketing, right? Like that's what they need to have. That's why they would do it. And I feel like the problem with the PlayStation games in the last two years or so that have done this of the staggered release, because clearly we saw success with Helldivers. That was day and day.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
But the staggered release there, the heaviest marketing for the PC version of those games is like a throwaway statement in a state of play. I don't know if that's necessarily where the PC gaming audience is getting their information. So I feel like Sony does have a problem of figuring out marketing to that PC audience because we're talking about some of the best games ever made.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
So it's not like there's not an audience that wants to play those games on PC. So yeah, figuring all that out would be interesting. And yeah, Rockstar, again, I don't expect it to be day-to-day PC, but I do think that That is their goal, and I do think that they are working towards that, and if possible, I think they'll do it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
Because they want the biggest launch of all time, and they don't want it to even be a question. They want this to be the highest grossing entertainment property in an hour, in the first day, in the first weekend, in the first week. They want to break every freaking record possible.

You need a Walgreens app. Yeah. Gerardo is cool. Says, what's popping, boys? Quick question. If you had to evacuate from the tsunami, what games and hardware would you take? You can only pick three. God, that's hard. You know? I do think at this point, Steam Deck is such a cheating answer because you can put whatever the hell you want on it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
But if we're talking about just legit, you need to own the game type stuff, I think the Switch is my answer. And it's almost cheating because the Switch is just pretty much every Nintendo game ever on it at this point.

The one for me that I keep coming back to that I'm like, I don't want to think about my list right now. My top is pretty locked, but below that, I'm not really sure. Hades 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
When they put out that update, I promised the people that I wasn't going to touch it until the full version of the game came out. I lied to them. I lied very hard. I put about 10 more hours into Hades 2 in the last two weeks. Goddamn. Where am I going to put that? I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
They put it out this way. We're playing a game. We're playing a game for 50 hours, Andy. 50 goddamn hours. Some of the best hours I've had playing a game in my life. It's on them if they put it out next year and I'm not as into playing through it all the way and I don't vote for it. That's how it goes.

I get it. You're holding a lot on you. Kev, can you bring up Anton Blast real quick? because I want people to see what this game looks like. It's essentially a spiritual successor to the Wario Land games, but if they had the vibe and tone of Cartoon Network in the early 2000s, and like the bad guys specifically of Cartoon Network shows, and a severe love for Crash Bandicoot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24

What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
and you mean a lot of pizza tower vibes too absolutely absolutely um but this game is creative as hell loud as hell like it is just throwing everything at you a lot of colors but it commits to what it's going for one button on the controller is dedicated just to screaming oh that's cool and it's just like it doesn't do anything he just screams and there's a fun animation but it's like that's the type of thing it is they're having a lot of fun with it uh it's incredibly fast paced it plays as much
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

like a 2D platformer as it does a kart racer. Oh. Like there's a drift system. And like as you're running, there's like a drift meter that pops up and you can like chain it. It's really cool. Yeah, having a great time with it so far. Really fun boss fights. Music's awesome. Like, yeah, this, and it's getting great reviews too. Getting like a whole bunch of nines from people.

What's On Your Gaming Backlog? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.24
And yeah, like I'm, I'd say maybe a little less than halfway through and I'm leaning towards like an 8.5. But I definitely think that this is a game that a lot of people that watch kind of funny would enjoy. So check it out on Steam now. Coming to Switch sooner than later. I think they have some issues with Nintendo signing off on the details or whatever.

Hell yeah. I think I might too. That looks really sick. It's just a really fun time. Before we get into all the rigmarole and everything, I have one last thing I want to watch with you, Andy, because we are 15 days away from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hitting theaters.

You're just not ready for this. Did you know that Shadow the Hedgehog is voiced by Keanu Reeves? Of course, yeah.

Fantastic. Love that. Yeah, Noah Bless, you're really nailing it there. I think that there has to be weight behind your words when it comes to stuff. I feel like me and you and Raj had a great time in New York and had a lot of great conversations, and I feel like something we kept talking about is –
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
How we talk about covering games and how we talk about our review specifically of like our individual thought process on our reviews and how much effort we put into our opinions and why that matters. And I think that those are things that like everyone has an opinion. Everyone's entitled to an opinion.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
But when you put your opinion out there the way that we do, there's a weight to it that we need to have responsibility for, you know? And these people have that. And there's so many different weights on them. And I want to shout out Giant Bomb in particular because there is a unique set of obstacles when you are a brand that is based on personalities and then those personalities change and shift.

Yeah. And a cloud master says going to miss the giant bomb couches. Like again, so many people do similar content in this space, but really not many people do what kind of funny does right. Giant bomb does that. And I think that that is, it's going to be very sad that the giant bomb couch is not going to exist. And again, the couch is different than it used to be.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
It means something different than it used to, but there's a level of importance to the, The way that these groups talk about video games because, again, not many people have the access to do that, have the chemistry to do that. People can talk about games all they want, but there's something special about Giant Bomb. And to your point, it's not the name. It is the people, and it is the chemistry.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
We'll see where this all shakes off, but I do want to say that I'm a big fan of Colin and Samir, who are two YouTubers that really, really care about the internet media landscape, and... internet companies as a business, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
And I'm really into that stuff personally as well, but they put up a video in the last couple of days about Dude Perfect, who are those huge, you know, trick shot YouTubers. Like they are started as a small YouTube channel and now that they're a corporation to themselves, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
But in this video, they were talking about how Disney had a methodology where it all started with this drawing of what the company is and all of the different ways that they can make revenue and continue to exist as a company. And we're talking about Disney, one of the biggest companies in the world, and yes, what their IP can make movies and TV and Disneyland and et cetera, et cetera.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Dude Perfect did the same thing in this video of trying to take their company and distill it down to what is it and how can they survive for the next 15 years and how can they grow and continue to make sure that it's not just big now, but that it'll be able to survive forever. And a quote that I wrote down from it because I just it resonated so hard with me is what they drew wasn't just a company.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
It was a belief system. And I think that's why Kind of Funny has been able to survive as long as we have. And it feels like, I mean, anything can happen, but it feels like we're okay. And it's because our belief system is in the strategy of the content and the people and in not doing more, more, more. It's doing what is working. What do we want to do?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
And what do we want to continue doing to make that happen? And I believe that the team over at giant bomb believes in their plan. And when their plan that they believe in is taken from them, there's nothing. So I'm hopeful for those, the boys and girls over there. And I, it's going to be real tough, but if anyone can pull this off, it's them polygon. I don't know a lot of those people as well.

On Wednesday, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez-Rogers ordered Apple to stop forcing a 27% commission on purchases made for iOS games and apps through web links, which developers had been using to avoid its store payment charges. She also ordered Apple to stop prompting messages dissuading users from using web link purchases and ordered Apple to pay Epic Games attorney fees over the issue.

Yeah. Yeah. I love where you're going with that. And yes, that is true. I do think though, this is good. Like Apple, like I feel like there has to be some levels of checks and balances here. And at the end of the day, like based on all these stories, games being in more places is a good thing. Mobile gaming being successful and allowing more, uh,

Thank you for that, Barrett. A little wee news from you from VGC. Astral Chain director and Nier Automata designer Takehisa Tora has finally confirmed his exit from Platinum Games following months of speculation.

Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
In the latest issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu, transcribed by Genki, Tora confirmed he has quit Platinum and formed his own company, Eel Game Studio, adding that he couldn't share more information at this point. Christopher Dring at the game business. Barrett's killing it out there. I know. According to the publisher, Expedition 33 seemingly wasn't harmed by Oblivion's release timing.

Also, by the time we rolled around, we had momentum of our own and we felt pretty confident that we could stand beside it. I think there were other aspects, like the price point we were at and the inclusion of Game Pass. So we knew we would have a lot of interest around the game. We were confident in that. And it went as well as it possibly could have done in our eyes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
And actually, proximity to Oblivion didn't seem to harm us at all. In many ways, I think it just drew attention to quality RPGs that week. And everybody was thinking and talking about the genre. This is one of those you'll never know because things went the way they did. See, that's where I'm at.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Yeah, I don't think you can. I stand by Xbox should not have put Oblivion out that week.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
That was a bad business call. Sure, it resulted in Expedition still doing great, but they didn't need to do that. I feel like it was an unforced error that ended up not being the worst thing ever for Expedition 33, but I still think it would have done better otherwise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

That is so, so awesome. VGC also says the first seven games in the Leisure Suit Larry series of adult-themed comedy adventures are being delisted from Steam. It's fucked up. It's fucked up, man.

Both of our main kind of brain computers at the studio are having completely different issues today. So Kevin and Barrett are trying their damnedest to get everything up and running so we can keep doing the shows. We got cut off in the middle of episode one of Games Daily covering story number one, which was all of the Xbox and Microsoft price increases.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
It fucking breaks my heart. It's heartbreaking, man. It's a great way to put it. And I think you really nailed it for how important Polygon and Giant Bomb are to the gaming media landscape for incredibly different reasons. But it's so sad to just one by one look at so many sites go down and incredibly important voices be lost.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
And in terms of Polygon, putting out such thought-provoking journalism and thought-provoking think pieces, handling games differently than anyone else was doing. And the Giant Bomb, obviously the personality-based stuff that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
um got so popular over the years like they're the originators of that like them and one up right like thinking back in the day to the the one up uh podcast and all that like they defined what video game personality podcast could be and then you know here's kind of funny right we're so lucky being able to grow up in a a world where a standard was kind of set in the early days of what even a premium uh video game media video based
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
website could look like. Right. And not even thinking about this is pre-Patreon and all of that. So it's like so much was learned there, but we're talking about two stories that are completely different. Right. But at the same time, I think it all comes down to, you have to trust the team that is making the content or else you're It's not going to work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
That video slash audio versions everywhere should be where you expect them to be. We're going to continue the show from here with a part two of Games Daily because there is a lot of stuff that we want to make sure that we get to. Yeah. I don't want to get into too much of the rigmarole. You guys understand the housekeeping, the blah, blah, blah. We're doing stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
And these acquisitions for Polygon, letting go of Polygon, put the entire team, essentially. I'm seeing a super chat here from Zeke Speak saying, y'all should get Tara Long on as a guest. She was laid off this morning. Legacy figure. I used to watch her in Scoville back in the day on Destructoid. That breaks my heart, man. Tara's one of the first people I ever met in the industry.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
When I would go to PAX in 2011, I remember hanging out with her so much. And to see the journey that she's been on from Destructoid all the way up to
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
running video I think it was at Polygon and the amazing stuff that they would put out like this just really really sucks and obviously the Giant Bomb side like them being so close to us and so many of those people whether it's the GameSpot side or Giant Bomb side and however ways those interacted like we're talking about some of our closest friends in the industry and they were just straight up disrespected
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Disrespected, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
is to be able to survive like to be able to talk about games and to have conversations and talk about the news or our opinions or just stupid fun stuff and fighting gorillas and shit like we make the decisions we make business wise to be able to thrive, thrive is even a big word, but like, again, survive in this world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
And it's like being kneecapped and told that, hey, like your live streaming efforts, which are clearly where this industry is currently and where the audience is, like to take that away from Giant Bomb, you're killing Giant Bomb. And the people that work at Giant Bomb know that because they're trying their best to just make this stuff work.

And it gets so scary to look around and see stories like Game Informer last year go down, right? Or was that this year? I don't even know when it was. It could have been next week. It could have been last week.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
Yeah, and now they're back, you know? But I'm sure that that is incredibly difficult for them, you know? I know it's incredibly difficult for them. And it's going to continue to be, and it's not going to be the same. And that's good, because we don't need it to be all the same. Like, it needs to be better than it was.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
But that's a lot of pressure for people that are already working way too hard, doing way too much. And yeah, man, it just sounds... Again, I feel like I'm blabbering now. We're just going in circles with this stuff, but like... We're all the people in the chat right now. Thank you so much for being here, and thank you for understanding this.

Last weekend, I was at Barbara Dunkelman's wedding, one of the main faces of Rooster Teeth, a company that doesn't exist anymore.

And I'm at this wedding looking around at so many of my friends that are not able to do the things that they used to do and survive. Some of them are thriving. Some of them are doing great. But like you said earlier, not all of them. And that sucks. Things you love can be taken away, can't they?

Real quick, I saw in the chat, this is a minor thing, but I really like the Imperial ads. That's a perfect sponsorship in my opinion.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
it's hard to, there's always that balance of getting like two behind the scenes and just like two navel gazey is the word that we used to use so much back in the day, talking about kind of funny talking about the inside baseball stuff of how things are made or whatever. It's just important to talk about that stuff. And again, Imperial is a perfect type of ad for us.

Big Trouble At Giant Bomb & Polygon - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.01.25 Part 2
And it's, I wish we can get more things like that. I wish that we could support indie games, smaller games, getting, pushing wishlisting and all that stuff. But we're trying our best out here to survive and to be able to keep doing this. And it's, Hard for us. It's hard for everyone. And I appreciate all the support out there from each and every one of you.

Nintendo stuck to that price. I bet the Switch 2 gets more expensive later this year.

Yeah, it does not seem like it's over. Rafael says, they'll blame the tariffs, but I think the companies were planning these increases even before Trump's second term, but we'll use that as an excuse.

It's not a, a fear tactic of people saying that it's like, there are going to be people that cannot buy Mario cart because it's $80 instead of 70, because 70 was already too much for them. And there's people that couldn't buy it at 70 because they 60 was their top and people that 50 was their top. Like we see all of this and we're talking about needing a bigger, more vibrant, uh,

And that's not to take away from the quality of the products.

Which is incredibly boring and confusing at the same time. Broken down into language that makes sense, this patent is for 3D games that use 2D-inspired elements in the visuals. Again, it plays out pretty much like what you'd see in the HD 2D genre.

Much of the patent details how this visual style would make use of enhanced lighting and shadows to give impressions of depth and positioning for characters and backgrounds, which would be something far beyond what was possible in old school 2D games. It sounds like it would be a pretty striking presentation, but unfortunately the patent only uses rudimentary drawings to describe the setup.

But I do think there is like somewhat of a gap between Spider-Man and God of War as far as like the manpower and the time taken to like make a brand new one of those.

And then we hear that 3 and 4 was being worked on, but then was cancelled because of all of this stuff. And it's just like, all right, well, the dream's over. We're not getting back to it. And then on the Tony Haas Pro Skater accounts over the last couple of years, we kept seeing 3 plus 4 hidden in life. Little signs of life. Little signs of life.

And Activision is good for them, hilarious about how much they promote these games. How are we four years away from the 1 and 2 remake coming out? And their Twitter's still posting about this game. That rocks. You know what I mean? It's like, it's Halloween and it's just like the vaguely, like there's a skeleton in the game and they show the skeleton.

Like they are stretching, but good for them, you know? They just had a bunch of scheduled tweets. Maybe. But anyways, the last couple weeks have been interesting because on top of all that, Tony Hawk just be talking. And he's been talking for years and anytime he says something about a game, I don't trust it because it feels uninformed.

The majority of the time, what he says isn't actually relevant. resulting in anything, or at least not in a timely fashion. Like, oh yeah, we're talking to Activision about a game. And it's like, oh man, this announcement's imminent. And it's like, no, that ended up being... Some other weird ass shit, you know what I mean? But every once in a while, it ends up being true.

It's like a less involved Ed Boon. Yes, 100%. So then we get a pro skater last week being like, oh, I recorded VO for a new Tony Hawk game. And then it's like, is it Tony Hawk or is it for Skate? Because we know Skate 4 is being made. So it's like maybe he was just wrong about what he thought it was or whatever. And I'm not trying to get my hopes up.

But then GameSpot put out an article, Breaking News, when we were on Games Daily last week, that was like, Hey, we have credible information that during the summer it's going to be shadow dropped. So, Andy, for me, I go from the dream is dead to the dream is imminent. And I can't handle it.

In addition to that, Barrett, if you could stay here, there's a lot to glean from this that gets me excited. How so? One, the little logo guy. The Tony Hawk, the image, the silhouette. If you look closely, he's on a Razor scooter. The Razor Street Scooter is coming back. The Tony Hawk 1 and 2 remake. It's a different guy. It's a different silhouette. That's not MJ.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
It is a different silhouette than the 1 and 2 one. But on top of that, the 1 and 2 one, and this is where we get a little stretchy, but it is what it is. The 1 and 2, like every cover of a Tony Hawk game, it's Tony Hawk in a different trick position, right? The 1 and 2 remake one, is kind of a melding of how he looked on the cover of one and how he looked on the cover of two.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
This is kind of a melding of how he looked on the cover of three and the cover of four. We sound like Taylor Swift fans. If I'm going to be a Swifty about anything, it's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Games, okay? But on top of that, Andy, on top of that, The background of this, this blurred out image. Like a warehouse. That is Skater Island from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
There you go. Good show. Sorry, bring it up one more time. There it... Because there's one more key thing here. Because last week I left Games Daily being like, I'm getting super hyped about this, but there's one question that this doesn't add up for for me. The game was being developed by vicarious visions and they don't exist anymore. Iron Galaxy. Iron fucking Galaxy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
A lot of good games, a lot of good stuff. They also recently ported Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 to Steam. They were the ones. And I'm like, wait a minute. And I think maybe even the Switch. I think they might have handled that too. So I'm like... They also worked, helped on 1 and 2 with Vicarious Visions. Going back to what I was saying earlier, these fuckers get it. They know what's up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I'm really excited.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
What can we do? I mean, yeah, we've talked about this before. I do think that that kind of boom of skateboarding in the late 90s, early 2000s will never be replicated in that same way again. But I also think that it's like video games, where there was the boom of video games, and now they're just ubiquitous. I think skateboarding is just ubiquitous now. It's not something that...

ein bestimmter Gruppe von Leuten. Ich denke, das ist das, was jeder versucht. Weißt du, was ich meine? Viele Leute im Chat haben gesagt, dass Tim wirklich nicht erwähnen wird, dass die Dates 3 und 4 sind. Ich habe das letzte Woche erwähnt, sofort, als wir das erste Mal hatten.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
Vielleicht, vielleicht, richtig? Es ist interessant, wenn man über GameSpots denkt, dass es Schatten droppt, aber jetzt haben wir einen Date Countdown. Ich glaube nicht, dass wir es am Montag auf Schatten droppen werden.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
Like, I think that this is going to be an announcement that it exists, and then maybe they're talking about Shattered Up, like they're just being released during the summer showcase of Xbox. Um... Ich danke Gott, dass ich dieses Spiel auf allen Konzolen spielen kann. Am Ende des Tages werde ich das Spiel nicht spielen. Ich werde es auf einem fucking Potato spielen, wenn ich es muss.

Aber die Idee, ein Tony Hawk-Spiel zu spielen, ohne meinen Playstation-Kontroller, das bricht mein Herz. Weißt du, was ich meine? Der Grund, warum ich so ein Dual-Sense-Guy bin, ist, dass ich das Spiel mit dem D-Pad mag, weil es Tony Hawk ist. Wenn du Tony Hawk mit einem Analog-Stick spielst, vertraue ich dir nicht. Okay?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
A couple more things I want to bring down here is the one big question mark I have is, is it actually 3 plus 4? And I think it's going to be. But so far, the evidence is really pointing to 3. Skater Island, level from 3. Next Monday, the thing that I just need is just the moment of like, oh my god, they're actually doing 3 and 4. Because like I was saying, 4 is a different style of game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
1 and 2 Remake worked because they were the exact same type of game, just more levels, same type of goals. I'm really interested in how they're going to Maybe they even dumb down for it to be more Checklist goal-based, because let's just be real, going up to random NPCs for them to have one line of dialogue isn't necessarily the most engaging gameplay these days.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
We don't have a confirmation of this yet. So we'll see where that ends up. And then there's another big factor. You bring up the jackass, right? The jackass of it all is incredibly important because Tony Hawk, 900, X Games put skateboarding on the map in the mainstream in a different way. Aber dann hat sich in vielen Fällen dieser jüngere Gruppe von Hooligans inspiriert.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
And so it's rough, right? But so much so that in Tony Hawk's 1 and 2 Remake, in the hangar level from Tony Hawk 2, there's big ass billboards of every Tony Hawk game. And for Tony Hawk's Underground 2, which was the Jackass one with Matt Margera as a co-lead, he was removed from the box art. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

We're back with story number two. More than a dozen NetEase studios are reportedly at risk, including Nagoshi, Quantic Dream and Grasshopper. This comes from Andy Robinson at BGC. Numerous NetEase Studios, including what I just said, are reportedly at risk of closure after the Chinese publisher decided to divest its international operations. Who saw this coming?

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
Previously known for its popular PC, MMOs and mobile games, NetEase has expanded significantly in recent years, acquiring and establishing studios from industry veterans in Japan, North America and Europe. However, as the games industry continues to endure turbulent times, there have been signs that in recent months it could be scaling back its ambitions.

Last month it was confirmed NetEase had split from Vancouver-based Worlds Untold, the studio it founded with Mass Effect writer Mack Walters in 2023, as well as Seattle-based Jar of Sparks, the studio founded in 2022 by Xbox veteran Jerry Hook.

Then earlier this week it was confirmed that NetEase had laid off US-based developers behind Marvel Rivals, including its director, despite the game enjoying a hugely successful launch. A NetEase Spokesperson denied to VentureBeat that these cuts were part of a broad scaling back of its international game development.

However, now GameFile sources claim the publisher is indeed significantly scaling back and is actively shopping around its non-Chinese studios. One of GameFile's sources claimed NetEase plans to divest itself of the majority of its overseas teams. ...which could lead to the closure of more than a dozen game studios if they can't secure new funding.

I think that you're very right. The one kind of path I want to diverge from you just a little bit there is that it's not predictable. I think that we're at a point now that with this type of stuff, it is predictable. I do also think that it is very scary that we're entering this new world where...

Es gibt genug Geld von Studios und Publishern, dass sie Entwickler und Teams wie Netflix-Subscriptionen beurteilen können, die sie an jedem Moment auslösen können.

Wir sprechen über ein Spiel, das wir auf dem Show sprechen und das wir kennen, die Leute, die tatsächlich spielen. Und es fühlt sich ein bisschen, um es besser zu sagen, näher zu Hause an.

Die Unterschiede, die ich hier sehe, sind, dass ich es fast nicht als den E-Sports-Boom sehe, wie wir mehr und mehr und mehr Geld machen.

And that's exactly where I'm at with that. But again, I don't want to speak out of turn on this, but I look at this as an outsider to it all.

He said, well, I think that Peter would love to believe that he can just turn it off and not be Spider-Man anymore and live a completely normal life. I don't think that's what's going to happen now. He told Variety last February. He said, I don't know. I haven't read a script yet. They're probably still working on it. But I don't think that's the last we're going to see of Peter.

And I did get a vacation to Simkaria during the Miles game. Not much more of a vacation, but at least MJ got to ride a motorcycle, which is awesome. So yeah, he's just getting stuff.

Ich denke, du hast recht. August, September macht so viel Sinn, weil du das Sommer-Showcase-Push bekommst. Für sie ist es überall, wo sie können. Ich meine, einfach promotieren, promotieren, promotieren, verwenden es als Marketing. Und dann finde ich, dass August, September nicht zu weit von den Menschen für die Wettbewerbsseason ist.

Sorry, if I wasn't clear about that, if I said close, I didn't mean that, but like the top people left and then, yeah, they were, they just turned into a support studio like that, which is upsetting. And then Icy Wiener was saying something very upsetting to me. Tim kept saying the Tony Hawk reveals on Monday, the countdown ends on Tuesday.

Which, by the way, Andy, this is a classic Tim and Andy bit throughout the years, is me saying SLJ for Samuel L. Jackson. And you're just being like, what are you doing? And so then I love making acronyms out of things. In the Super Chat, they just put 96QBB.

It may be an issue due to band drama between old singer and new singer. If the song is featured, it will be in new versions which does exist. Interesting. I never heard that.

I was saying this last week that obviously I'm very in tune and tapped in to the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater communities and just world. And that means, you know, the Reddits. I follow a bunch of accounts and I'm drinking a lot of that hopium. wenn es um Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 und 4 geht. Die letzten paar Jahre haben es schwer gemacht, weil der 1 und 2 Remake im Jahr 2020, glaube ich, kam.

Und ich habe es absolut geliebt. Es war großartig. Es hat sich unglaublich gut verkauft. Sie haben es in jedem System, der man kennt, verkauft. Und es hat sich unglaublich gut verkauft an all diesen Systemen. Und es ist wie, ja, vikarische Visionen. Du hast etwas Besonderes hier. Dein Team bekommt das. Du verstehst, was das Kern von Tony Hawk ist, was etwas ist,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
that the last couple games just simply have not had the we've we've had remakes of these before that were horrible tony house pro skater 5 was absolutely abysmal and to get one and two remake it really felt like all right this is the kind of culmination of those early games it's never going to get better than this but this is exciting because it really felt like it was going to when you look at the crash bandicoot insane trilogy and spyro reignited trilogy and crash team racing like
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
They're finding success with these remakes and they are making great versions of these games. They're going to continue to do that. That eventually led to Crash Bandicoot 4, a new game that felt, I mean honestly, debatably the best of the Crash Bandicoots because the people that made it understood understood what makes these games good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
So, looking at Tony Hawk 1 and 2, it's like, alright, well, the dream would be we get 3 and 4 and then we get Tony Hawk's Underground, either a remake or hopefully, in my opinion, a reimagining of Thug, because I feel like Thug's really the one that is the biggest of these games. And I kind of changed the genre of it, of making a much more open experience fully.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Without getting too in the weeds, I'm letting everyone know, I'm getting in the weeds in this conversation. That's what we're here for. It's kind of that, where 1 and 2 and 3 were very simple arcade-style games. You go in, two-minute countdown, and there's a bunch of goals you have. 4 war der erste, der mit einem mehr offenen Design flirte. Es war nicht nur eine Menü-Checkliste von Ziels.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
Du gehst zu einem Level und du musst NPCs finden. Und sie haben eine Reihe von Dialogen. Hey Mann, mein Katz ist in einem Baum gestanden. Geh auf einen Taxi. Okay, ich glaube, das macht Sinn. Aber das war ein bisschen anders als das Game Design. Und das war im Post-GTA3-Welt. Also war jedes Spiel so, wie kann man Sandboxen bekommen? Und das war nur ein Schritt dorthin.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
Aber dann war Tony Hawk's Underground wirklich derjenige, der sagte, hey, lass uns hier eine echte Geschichte haben. Wir werden haben, dein kreativer Charakter ist wichtig und du wirst auf dein Board kommen können. Und es ist ein bisschen mehr so eine Storyline von einem steigenden Stern.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
And I think that with that, you could just one-to-one remake it like they did with 1&2 Remake and everyone would be happy, I'd be happy. I just think that Thug has more potential to... with a bit more of, like, rewriting and, like, just upping the ante, it can be really good. Like, it can be an amazing game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
So, that's the only reason I would want that game specifically, to get a different type of remake. Okay. And then Thug 2 is... More modernized in terms of writing and... All that stuff. And, like, just getting the... Like, yeah, like, Barrett's bringing this up here. It's, like... Iconic moment.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
It's so cool. Did you play Tony Hawk's Underground? Yes, but I never got this far. One of the culminating moments of the story is your character does a McTwist over a helicopter from two buildings. Very Dom Toretto style in Hawaii. Und es ist so, komm schon, Mann.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Announcement is HAPPENING - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.25
Du musst ihn in die Helikopter-Blade werfen. Dude, but like, it's amazing. And I feel like if they were to kind of just make a new version of that, it would be very special. Even if it was just that, though, I would freaking take it. Anyways, it felt like we were in line for that. And then Microsoft buys Activision. Everybody has to make Call of Duty. God knows.

Entschuldigung, nicht gegen, sie waren die Verbrecher der Situation, wie mit Bobby Kotick-Typen. Also es war... Just bad news all around.

I don't think that we need to be calling people out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
crying calling people out for like being sad that their game didn't win again i don't think that's necessarily if if what's being said here not the best directly these english words here not the best way to handle this but like i think that it's a little not cool and yeah not cool i'll go the opposite and say fuck no i'm kidding uh i'm with you no uh you know of course we're reading through this i'm reading for the first time and so
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 everybody sucks is, you know, the game's nominator are all excellent, but I don't really understand the selection criteria for this year's game of the year. I came here for nothing. That kind of implies, hey, Astro Bot is, it's a little kid's game. It's just a 3D platformer. Again, I'm adding a lot of context there. Yeah, what you think. What I think, but that is what I think.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
But even if that's the case, like, I don't know. Clearly, they've shown that they speak differently in these forums and stuff. Not necessarily always a good thing, but this is just a... A place we've been before that has gotten people into trouble.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
And I just look at this and like every part about this that I've heard over the weekend, I'm like looking at, I'm like, I just don't, I don't want to be a part of the people that are like laughing at this personally. Sure.
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 surprised. Huh? Surprised you don't want to make fun of people, Greg.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
All right? Like yourself.
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 understand that. Yeah, it's, you know, a passion. I get the sore loser thing, and I get the, like, hey, if you're going to play this game and be in the circus, you kind of got to, like, show up and present yourself a certain way. I just feel like all that stuff is also, I don't know. There's a lot of hypocrisy here, I feel.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Some of the people I know talking about this, I'm just like, I've seen you talk another way about very similar things, and I don't like it. Barrett, I didn't see anybody talk about this this weekend.
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, come on. Look up. It looks good. Yeah, look up. Look up is about as good as you get. I love that they dropped the legacy. Keep it clean, Superman. I know we already knew that, but now that we're seeing this, a James Gunn film, the DC Studios logo, this is the beginning. This is the one shot, the one opportunity, the first impression we're getting from this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Again, I also do think that there is a cultural aspect to this, that there are problems too, absolutely, and we have seen that play out, but this is such a big deal for a Chinese game to be recognized at the Game Awards this way.
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 do think that to these developers, there's a different level of, oh man, the Game Awards is the biggest thing possible, and whether or not it's pressure, it's just more like, hey, we're on the world stage here. That's not what I said.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Not getting me. Hey, Barrett, can you do me a favor on the side? You're not getting me, devil. There's all those articles. The second one, can you Slack me that? I need to read that later. HDMI 2.2. I saw Chris Ostertag complaining about this. He was not happy about the 2.2 over the weekend. No, this is bad. See, that was the news I saw. This year, this switched off.
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, all right, this is it, everybody. Like, we've now seen this exact same thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
shape and dimension uh successor to the nintendo switch multiple times from different leaks different accessory creators like we know what we're looking at now it's exciting based on d brand's measurement the next switch which we'll call the switch 2 will both be larger and taller than nintendo switch oled but roughly the same thickness
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
suit cody yeah but like when they're doing this with you know after effects you're making it a little bit more form-fitting it looks hot yeah man i the thing that we need to remember is that this is a very important first impression this is the beginning of the dcu for all intents and purposes don't you insult creature command yet fuck no i cannot at all get excited for this cartoon
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 yeah, this is one of those where there's smoke situations. I think this is exactly what the switch is going to end up looking like. Um,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
and i'm here for it uh some of the cool things they were talking about the joy cons it seems like because of the magnets um sounds like this tech is very impressive and uh there's two buttons on the back to kind of release it um which i'm excited about because one of my bigger issues with the nintendo switch all the way up to the oled is how loosey-goosey thank you very much the um joy cons eventually get even we get brand new joy cons just the rails on the switch itself sure
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Kind of just feels a little loose. For a handheld, I feel like there's a lot of laying down, tweaking around to get comfortable. And it always feels like you're fighting against the machine. So I'm hoping that these magnets can kind of solve that. And in addition to that, the bigger size I think is going to go a long way. Like the Joy-Cons are...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
for what they are, but I feel like just a little bit bigger and there's a nice sweet spot to be able to get the ergonomics right. And they're talking about better triggers as well, which I think is going to go a long way for more modern games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Having the Switch kind of be able to, Switch 2, be able to stand up there with the PlayStations and Xboxes, again, I think closer than we've seen since the PS2 generation with GameCube and Xbox. So I'm really excited for it. How much longer do I have to wait? I mean, at this point, all signs are pointing to January reveal.
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 couple months later, I think March, more blowout event, and then a May-June release.
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. On a Friday, I don't.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
We could ask them. Mr. Nintendo. I don't know that we want that, though. You know, unless they do it here. Well, that's what I'm saying. Oh, yeah. It's part of our stream. Well, we can start saying that it's going to happen. We can start saying it's possible. Yeah. It's possible. It is possible. Right, 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
Well, I'm excited. What I'm also excited about is... They're multiplying like gremlins. Taki Udon, who is the guy that makes the OLED mods that I just did, my Switch Lite mod that I just did, he was saying that if there is no OLED version of the Switch 2, that he's going to make it a priority to get right on that. Thank God.
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 happening, though. I know. I 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
I'm still holding out hope, though, that Nintendo's not going to fuck this up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Tears of the Kingdom spoiler cast was just tough because Nintendo only gives us one code. And then one of us plays through the game and then whoever else gets the Nintendo games, whenever they get it, they just usually buy it themselves at some point on their schedule.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
And then lining up all the people playing the game, beating the game, remembering what they played months ago to get a spoiler cast together. Very difficult. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Um, so that, that's the reason it's just simple scheduling and like how backed up that all gets.
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 like this guy. What a cool stepdad. I also like this game. God, I think about Tears of the Kingdom all the fucking time. And Barrett, I think about that video a lot, too. You really crushed it. So if you're looking for, like, actual good in-depth kind of thinking about Tears of the Kingdom, yeah, Barrett did a great job as a spoiler cast. So check out Zelda in Review.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
um and then in terms of the switch thing it really is just kind of we're in this nebulous like on the next onto the next like we thought it was going to be this year i thought it was going to be this year and now it kind of became clear it's not so we're like all right cool we can push back those uh predictions till till later and also uh what happens a lot of kind of funny including today we have a plan for the week and then james gunn's like hey the superman trailer comes out so we need to kind of like juggle around some things and we're always just trying to do whatever the best content is 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
So now that we're here, though, the thing is that it's important to note, we don't get bad Superman movie teasers. In fact, we only get the best ones, right? Superman Returns teaser. Fucking banger. Man of Steel teaser. Come on. Debatably best movie teaser of all time.

I just want to let you know that all weekend I got Onimusha on the mind. I'm sure you did. Like most weekends. But this one was different. This one had a sense of victory to it. I rewatched that trailer like 15 times. Yeah. I am beside myself that this game is actually coming out. How quickly did you show it to Gia? Immediately. Yeah. Immediately. Yeah. Did she feign interest? No. No, no, no.

Oh, yeah. She's heard me talking and talking. But yeah, she's just like she's like, Tim, like you are such a such a Tim. And I'm like, I know I very much am. But yeah, it's it's wild that this is happening. It ending with the 2026. I like that. Like, I feel like that gives me hope that we're actually going to see it in 2026. Yeah. You know what I mean? Call that shot out there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Capcom's been so good. I heard they already wrote their acceptance speech. Exactly. God, if Onimusha gets nominated for Game of the Year, if it's that good. Can you imagine? And it looks good, Greg. It looks really good. And Okami.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
What a wild concept for a developer out there to say in addition to regularly releasing major new titles, Capcom's also focusing on reactivating dormant IPs. It's like, yeah, let's do that. But let's only do that when we're in the place to do it correctly. And Capcom are there. They've learned so much from Resident Evil. Yeah.
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, even Devil May Cry 5 coming back and being as good as it was and selling well, right? Like not breaking the records and stuff like Resident Evil did, like Monster... like Monster Hunter did. Capcom is in the best spot it's ever been, and it now can go back and kind of pull out some things that have value to them that we haven't seen in a while. Onimusha, Dino Crisis, Mega Man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Mega Man, Mega Man. Where's the boy?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
what do you think is number one on deck we've got this down what is the one that has to get this is the next that has to get made i mean the fact that we got ani musha and okami yeah though that's two of them holy crap like so this has to be mega man let's just be real like i want to have a conversation here because i don't want to sound more delusional than i actually okay sure like i understand ani musha's place in the hierarchy of all this like i am not saying that ani musha power
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Capcom's universe has shifted. Okami, though, was a little bit different. There was a critical acclaim to Okami that... Okami's one of the greats. Onimusha, I think, was way more a place in time of... It's a bygone era where you get four games a console generation. these sequels where it almost feels annualized.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
And Onimusha very much in the, like when you look at Onimusha, even just one through three, but you could also include four on that PS2. The games are so radically different and you see them kind of expand from one, which is very much just a small Resident Evil PS1 game, right? Yeah. Same exact style of survival horror, same exact control, same exact puzzles, like very, very similar. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Then 2 expands that a bit. 3 completely opens up and plays a lot more similarly to Devil May Cry. Like, way more action-focused, analog controls. And then 4 is a full-on analog action game. Like, I feel like that franchise has evolved so much already. And all of the games, very, very good to great. But I don't think any of them were 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
Clearly, none of them were as good as Resident Evil 4, for example, right? But I think, and even getting the remaster of one a couple years ago, it really kind of showed what Onimusha 1 was, which was a very early PS2 game. If I remember correctly, it was one of the blue-bottom PS2 games. It was a CD. The game is very short. It's like four and a half hours to beat.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
And so there's a lot of room to grow. And playing that in, like, 2019 when it re-released, I was kind of like, I love Anirusha, but, like, I don't know about this. It's hard to justify this. Seeing this trailer obviously makes me feel very differently.
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, like, knowing what the RE Engine has done, seeing the RE2, 3, 4 remakes, seeing what the RE Engine could do for Devil May Cry 5, I have so much more hope there. Okami, I feel like, is the tougher one because that game is going to be compared to Okami.
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, I think that that's a difficult question to answer because I think the answer is yes and no. I don't think that every single gamer ever is. But I do think that there is a big audience out there of people that are interested in video games past just like I play what I like. But the ones that want to dive deeper and look back in the history and be like, hey, I really do like Legend of Zelda.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
My first one was Breath of the Wild. I went back and I played some of the other games. What are other games like this? If you type in best games like Zelda, Okami is going to come up. And they've done a good job, I think, of putting it out on different platforms and keeping up with it since its original release. So I do think that there's a knowledge of Okami.
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, exciting times. Thursday, we will be reacting to this and I can't wait because last time you reacted to a Batman episode. teaser for the first batman superman teaser for the first time that's a great teaser she got great great trailer that was a great trailer you know what i mean no way it could have been bad and i was 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
And when Jeff presents it like it's the second coming of Jesus, I think that that also is going to add a lot more interest for people.
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, of course. That is something I do not want to undersell, is that Jeff positioned Okami 2 as... the big deal that I wish that it would be to people. And I feel like that's what shifts this. But yeah, Okami's definitely not the biggest franchise. Sure.
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, that is actually the crazy biggest question here because you look at... what Okami was emulating back in the day or paying homage to, and it was Ocarina of Time, right? This was a game coming out around Twilight Princess after Wind Waker. It very much was in that vibe and style of a traditional Zelda 3D with dungeons. Then Breath of the Wild changed the Zelda game.
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 Okami going to follow that too, or is Okami going to kind of fill the gap that we've had for classic 3D dungeon-style games, which would be... I mean, I think that's the move. And I think Capcom knows that's the move.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
Capcom's smart.
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 that it needs to be something like that. I think that Mega Man... Well, we just saw this Onimusha trailer. Compared to what the Onimusha games used to be. I feel like that's what we need for Mega Man. Because if they just come out and it's Mega Man 12, or they come out and it's a Mega Man that has old school trappings, that's going to be very exciting to a lot of people.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
And I would rather that than not that. We've just had so much of that that I think that it's time for Mega Man to have a bigger moment of like... Oh, Mega Man is an IP that Capcom's going to look at as one of the heavy hitters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
And they can. It's Mega Man. One of the most known video game IPs, period, whether you've played one ever or not.
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 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
Yeah. He's got to be next. Yeah. I think Dino Crisis is an easy one, too, to grow out there. People love dinosaurs. Because people love dinosaurs, and I just think that the style of games, like...

I mean, yeah, but I think that hell divers will course correct. I think that they've shown that they listen to the community, and if they go a little too far pushing the line, they'll listen and pull it back.
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 where exactly is the best place to do it, and maybe right here, right now is. But I think that this is interesting in some ways where it's like, okay, well, are you just saying that the game's not worth playing at normal speed and you're just like, allow you to skip all the stuff? Like, what's the point of the game then? But the other side is like, this is very brilliant for...

Part one, where part two is about to be released on PC in the coming months, right? To give people the opportunity to catch up, especially when we're talking about games that are as big and long as Final Fantasy VII, the remake series. So getting people...

Ho, ho, ho. That was great. You crushed it. How do you like having a Christmas tree? It's really nice. Moose likes to eat it. Yeah? That's not so nice. His little tummy hurts. Yeah.

Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Black Myth: Wukong Director Responds To Game Awards Loss - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.16.24
No, exactly, which is what I'm excited for. We've seen Daredevil 1, 2, Jessica Jones 1, Defenders. Overall, I would say up until Defenders, all of those were at the very least good. All of them bloated. Then we get to Luke Cage. We made it four episodes in, and it just brought us to a crawl. It was just so hard. We just forgot about it. You know what I mean?

Get out of here. This week's about to be insane, though. Not only are we getting the Superman trailer reaction, we're also finally getting Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Nobody cares about that. I think a lot of people do.

If I'm a betting man, we will see Chrono Trigger HD 2D at some point. Xenogears, we're just going to get a straight remastered port. It's not going to be anything fancy. I don't think we ever see Legend of Dragoon again.
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, and then we get to Defenders, and, like, man, that show is so interesting. Not as bad as everybody made me think it was going to be. It very much is, I think, more than most things. Literal, like, what if a comic book was a TV show? Like, they don't change the writing at all. It's like they're reading panels, and it doesn't fully work. I kind of appreciate it for that reason, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And that's not Iron Fist. Oh, I got introduced to this motherfucker. Ha! Everyone is right. He is the absolute worst thing I've ever seen on screen. Every time he's on, I'm like, what are we doing? Show me Daredevil. We have Daredevil here. Yeah, it's rough. I like all of them so much more than him. But anyway, and Elektra, my baby girl. But anyways, yeah, Defenders ended. It's over.

Yeah, I mean, James Gunn has never let me down. Not a single time so far. Period. Did you watch Slither? I did. I watched it for the first time like two years ago. And I mean, it's good for what it is. Like, you know, first movie, whatever. I thought, yeah. From then on, I'm like, this guy got the stuff.
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 going to be honest. I think it's weird that we're talking about this this way.
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 feel like this is one of those things where there is a world where it's easy to make fun of people for being sore losers, but I think that what this is of just going through translations, not understanding tone at all, them being Chinese developers and this being the biggest Chinese game we've ever seen, the way that it's being talked about, I feel like this is one of those like, hey, I know there's a lot of things that we've pointed at and been like, hey, we don't like the way they're doing those things.

Yes, Tim. Mike? Yes, Tim! Day one, you've been hyped for this? I've seen you play in this shit? I have been playing pre-release. I've been excited about it. I've only played a little bit, so it's cool to see the reviews really shining on this. I am impressed by the, you know, we saw the highlight over on IGN with the combat being a little deepened. I was impressed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
I was like, oh man, I thought this was just the generic hack and slasher that I loved back in the PS2 demo days. No, we've gone a little more in depth on that one. There is moments that Barrett showed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
We have these one-on-one duels that very much felt like the Elden Ring combat that we see in a lot of games today that we all kind of love with the dash, the parry, the counterattacks that really made it fun and unique of Barrett. going from the just hack and slash a thousand different jabronis on the screen to, oh, we're going to really battle here, and I got to be on my smarts with that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
It's super fun. I like calling in different people to assist. You have different teammates that you can call in, and they have different movesets, different weapons. It's really, really cool. I do like the story thus far. I think there's a lot of cool characters that have some heart in this. So, yeah, I'm excited to dive a lot deeper into this game. I can't wait.

Tim, I mean, you used to walk into Target in the early 2000s. Oh, yeah. And look at the demo kiosk, and there was NFL fever. You have to look all the way up. You would crank your neck, and you'd be playing Dynasty Warriors, and you'd just be smashing that square button, just mowing through enemies. And it's crazy that, yeah, here we are now with Dynasty Warriors Origins.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
And, yeah, great jumping on point for people that might have fallen off like myself. Maybe there's people who have rode with the franchise for so long, you can jump in. But great to see. I mean, 81, 82 on Open Critic and Metacritic. That gets a thumbs up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
I watched a good amount. I love tuning in each and every year during the winter break and then also in the summertime.

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
awesome great cause helping prevent cancer a lot of great money being out there I think 2.5 million this year again another awesome milestone but yeah a lot of fun you get to see a lot of names that you see back and forth each and every year they switch it up on who's playing who's on the couch I love that GTA Vice City will always be one of my favorites so cool I watched that a couple years ago and followed one of the streamers because of that and just see them speed running games all the time so yeah another great year a lot of fun
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
Who hasn't asked that question? It's the age-old question, Tim.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
There's a couple ways you can go about this, but then once we actually read what it's all about, then it doesn't go the way that I thought it would.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
No one ever has described a MOBA that way. The rule with MOBAs is you don't play MOBAs with your friends because it ruins friendships. That's the opposite of a MOBA.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
Tim, this is whack, is what I thought about. I was lost. At first, I was like, oh, a MOBA inspired by Smash Brothers. Then my mind went to like, oh, everybody's here. They're going to make a MOBA like PlayStation, Battle Royale, All-Stars, which will just have all the Sony cast in it. Okay, maybe. Probably the wrong market and genre to get into. But okay, do your thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
And then I read it and I was like, hmm. This doesn't seem right, especially when you go lo-fi and cozy vibes described as no other mobile. I think it's more visual.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
You know what this is? This is going towards the younger audience, and this reminds me of Brawl Stars. All the young kids right now in middle school and beyond are playing Brawl Stars. This is a 3v3 and Battle Royale game. I'm telling you, Tim, that's the game. If you ask any kid out there, they're playing Brawl Stars, Roblox, and Fortnite. Those are the big games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
There's some Siege in there as well if you're watching Twitch. But Brawl Stars is the game, and I think this is just one of those... ideas of, hey, how do you get the younger audience involved? What are they currently playing? I think you jump on the back of that. I just don't know if MOBAs are the answer. I think you got to find something a little bit different.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
We'll see when it really nets out what this looks like. Health percentage, like Smash Bros., okay, I can see it. Falling off the map, interesting. MOBAs usually are just tied to the three lanes, the jungle. Pushing somebody off the map might be a cool, fun mechanic, but doesn't give super intense MOBA vibes to me. So we'll see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
You hear the dudes? No. Dr. Dude. The guy who plays Elden Ring with a little flute. Okay, yeah. And he makes all these noises. All you hear is the dudes. And it's so good. And he was beating up on Elden Ring. That was amazing.

How many is all of them?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
Yeah, I... It's an interesting one here, Tim. It's not something I would expect from Bungie. I guess when I read the name and I read the headline, my eyes kind of roll of like, that's weird. But like, video games are weird. And sometimes you have to take chances. But in a story we'll talk about in a little bit, it's tough taking chances in today's market.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
where a lot of studios take chances and then they fail and then they get shut down three months later. So it's very difficult to be like, oh, I'm going to really root this on when I know this isn't really probably Bungie's roots. This isn't what Bungie is known for on the outside. And how am I supposed to get on board unless you really impress me Which can be done.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
We have games like Smite that have hit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
To me, Smite and Pokemon Unite are the, hey, this is showing you the cap. This is the best of the best that have hit the market that would really attract that many people. I don't think there's much more if we drew the pie chart up to say, here's the percentage of people that are interested in jumping into a MOBA on console would go past those two games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
I think they've captured the audience of what that really looks like. And so, yeah, I don't know, Tim. I mean...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
mobas are competitive mobas are not hey we're hanging out and we're getting to know each other it's very much of like we are here to compete and we are going to battle and try to have like the most intense sweaty game as someone who's currently getting back in the league of legends 2025 of course you are i'm spending a lot of time in the arena tim and i'll tell you what at no time is anyone polite no one's nice we're all very mean to each other it is a nice to mike everybody tim
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
You got to turn off all comms whenever you play MOBAs. You just turn the comms off immediately. You know what, Tim? I'm interested. I'll say that. I love MOBAs at heart. I'm always a fan of them. I always want to see them come out and succeed. I want to see more on console because you don't really get the big names like the Dota's and the League of Legends over on the console side of things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
We brought up Deadlock, one of my shining stars of the year, is a MOBA, a third-person shooter MOBA. I thought that really shined, so... Maybe they're going for something like that. I don't know. I just go to Brawl Stars, right? Like try to attract that younger audience with something like this. Let's see if it sticks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
Yeah, that sounds about right. I mean, when you see the strategy and the business move here, Halo Master Chief Collection has definitely hit its peak on the Xbox console and PC now after being out for X amount of years. So now it is time to go out to another console, try to generate sales, try to get that audience behind it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
And then on the next one, hopefully people will get invested, especially if the move is to just release your games everywhere. Let's get them interested in Halo. Let's get them interested in Gears. Now is the time. So yeah, it's one of those of like, as the Xbox gamer myself, it's like, you've seen this and now you've just accepted it of like, that's going to happen now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
But the positive is more people are going to jump into these games. Those servers are going to be more filled. There's going to be a larger audience, right? Hopefully there will be a larger attach rate onto Halo, which had a lot of success in that first three to six months of Halo Infinite. It was popping. Now, if that was on PlayStation and beyond, be even bigger, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
So yeah, we're hoping for that. But yeah, I think... Flight Sim, kind of shaky on that one. That was a tough start. They really haven't nailed that launch quite yet, even here standing to this day. But I've enjoyed a lot of it. I've had so much fun playing it. And Master Chief Collection, you get them all, especially with the, what, 25-year anniversary coming up next year, I believe, for Halo CE.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
No, it's the right business move. This is the move. This is what we'll see in the future. It will happen no matter what.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
Unfortunately, hearts go out to everyone affected out there. We hope you land on your feet. We hope you're taken care of. It does suck to see that, right? It continues to happen this way. Over the past couple of years, we've seen the trend of how much harder it is to make a game, make a game great, have that game, meet expectations, not only internally, but also externally with fans.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
Sales and the attachment rate, it is very difficult, especially with thousands of games coming out every single month. It is easy to get lost in it and not have your game shine like it deserves to. Part of that story, one of the games, I think it was Mech Warriors, they were saying internally it hit all the metrics they wanted it to. Just externally, there was no attached rate.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25

So yeah, my heart and soul is the phone. Yes. And every single night I go to bed with one small fear. I set seven alarms and I go, what if today's the day that the phone turns off in the middle of the night and I miss Games Daily with Tim? Tim calls me. He can't get a hold of me. Mike's sleeping because the phone turned off. I need an alarm clock, Tim. That's why I want an Alarmo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
Alarmo can't ping the Nintendo online services. Freaks out, you know? Seven alarms. Well, it's like, you know, you go down the list. You start at, like, 8 a.m., and then you have the backup, like, 8.15, 8.30, just in case some shit hits the fan. But I go to bed every night, and I go, tonight could be the night. What if it doesn't charge anymore? Boom, dies.

Mason Dude says a great one. Tim is married. I don't think he can have more than one alarm. Now, I will say, she wakes up way before me. Back in the day, I will say.

A lot of hype there, Tim. A lot to build off of.

Let's start with the beginning.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
So now the question is, does that mean Nintendo in the next 48 hours will announce that on Thursday you need to tune in? Or is this just, hey, we're here on Thursday?

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Reportedly This Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.13.25
So if they got that, I'll be good. Like Barrett said, if they show you something on the screen that will get you excited, I think that's the big sell here. What is this? Is this pre-orders, Tim? Is this when we announce pre-orders? Is it just strictly, hey, this is the screen. This is how you dock it. This is the Joy-Cons that we're going to have. Here's the upgrades that you need to know about.

Mario, Metroid, right? I'm looking for some of the titles that wow me. My worry is, is like, what if they go a different direction, Tim, and they go real boring? Where it's just like, here's Tears of the Kingdom running on Switch 1, now here's it on Switch 2, right? Could we get that situation where all of a sudden we just look at old games and we show the power?

GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
Grand Theft Auto 6 is projected to make $3 billion in one year. My God. Kojima's next games have been affected by the writer's strike and the Fantastic Four are coming to Marvel's. We'll have all this and more because this is kind of funny games daily. What's up and welcome to the first kind of funny games daily of 2025. It is Monday, January 6th. And I, of course, am your host, Tim Geddes.
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
But when it comes to GTA 6, like you're saying, it's going to be a console seller. It's going to push more console sales than I think any game has this generation. And that's very incredible to think about what that's going to do for... gaming because of just the sheer amount of potential audience there is. Because once that barrier of entry is broken down, then more people can buy games.
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
To answer your question of, is there a fear? Of course there is. But I actually think GTA is such a anomaly that it's not a Titanfall 2 situation where it's like, oh man, don't put that game out alongside other similar games. You're going to make it fail. GTA 6, I do think, is going to kind of rising tide helps all ships type situation. In some ways, you have to be smart.
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
I don't think releasing a game within a month of GTA 6 is the right idea because everyone's going to be playing GTA 6. But I think that the interest in GTA 6 and the type of players that GTA 6 is so broad, it's not like it's, oh, it's just all the Fortnite people are going to jump over to GTA 6.
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
GTA 6 has been around for, or GTA has been around for so long and has meant so many different things to so many different people that I think it has kind of the peak interest of,
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
almost every important vertical that gaming audiences have like it's going to bring back the millennials that haven't really played games for a long time but like they love gta back in the day it's going to bring back the people that just play a gta is one of the only game single player games they play but they just play single player they're going to play it and then drop off of that and that's it and maybe now that they have a ps5 they're going to go back and play boss of us for the first time
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
Or whatever game, Ghost for the first time, whatever games that they miss out on that people have been talking about for so many years. God of War, I think, is probably a better example.
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
But I do think that it's going to be, while it will take over many people's lives, I think that overall GTA 6 is going to be more than not a gateway to get more people into other games that aren't just Grand Theft Auto 6. Yeah.
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
It was just us the entire way through, and we were just putting who kind of funny is on display. And it was great.
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
So what I love about this, though, is... You're right. We've talked about this a million times. GTA Online, whatever that means for GTA 6, that's going to be the biggest moneymaker for Rockstar. That is going to be what the product actually is as we talk about video games, as we talk about it as a competitor to Fortnite and to what's going on now.
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
But the reality is the $3 billion is coming from GTA 6 in the same way that the $1 billion, whatever, came from GTA 5. It's not the online. It is... just the core game, right? All of that comes after that.
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
That's not even included in this. Which is insane, right? I mean, maybe it is. Maybe it is.
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
Because they're talking about a whole year here, so that gets a little bit complicated. My point is, GTA 6 alone will make over a billion dollars without online.
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
At all. Yeah. That's fucking crazy.
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, it's very interesting because it's like there is obviously a reality to that where it's like people only have so much time in a day. They have only so much expendable funds. So, like, yes, that is true. For some reason, I still think that even with the online side, GTA is just a beast of its own. And I think that there's so many ifs here of if they can figure it out, if they can do it right.
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
And, like, it's Rockstar. But their online has been the one thing that, like, It's worked for them. People love it that they play it. But it's not like it's one of those things where it's like every single person that we personally know is playing. Right? Or jumping in. I would say we know more people that play Fortnite than we do GTA. And you point not yet. That is still a big unknown.
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
Like, will they be able to actually pull that off and get... figure out that magic that Fortnite's been able to kind of dominate the last 10 years and like iterate on and grow on. Like, sure, this is a GTA Online built from the ground up from what they've learned from what they've done previously.

But I do think that the online side of it has a lot more question marks for me that I am not so sure about. And again, it's going to make a fuck ton of money. GTA 5 is still making a fuck ton of money. But to your point, if they nail it, I think this $3 billion is $4 billion. Yeah.
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
But I'm saying in the first year. And then the next year, it's another $4 billion. That just ramps up. They have the potential for it to just be a ridiculous market leader in a way that we haven't seen before. But there's a lot of things that need to line up for that to happen that I do not think that that is the expected outcome.
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
I think that we could look at it and be like, oh, yeah, it would make sense based on everything that we know and what we are hopeful for. But that is such a ridiculous undertaking that it's not going to be easy for them to take over every single person's wallets and playing time against every other video game. There are people that are predisposed to be that.
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
I don't think that gets in the way of other games.

GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
We'll see, man. GTA 6. It's going to be a big topic this year and probably next year, too.
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
Talking about it will be a big topic. Story number two. Hideo Kojima's Xbox and Sony games have been affected by the actor's strike. This comes from Wesley Yenpool at IGN. Hideo Kojima has revealed the ongoing video game actor's strike has affected production on both his Xbox game as well as his upcoming action espionage title for Sony. That is happening. That is wild. God, what a man. What a man.
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
Tweet Kojima said that Kojima Productions was forced to suspend actor scanning and filming for the Xbox published OD during the second half of 2024 after the Screen Actors Guild American Federation of Television and Radio Arts SAG-AFTRA video game actor strike began in July.
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
Similarly, casting for Fizint, Kojima's hotly anticipated return to the action espionage genre, was suspended due to the strike. Kojima added he hopes to resume production in 2025. SegAftra video game voice actors accused gaming companies of refusing to meet their demands on artificial intelligence.
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
Negotiations over a new contract began in October 2022, and members approved the strike in September 2023. What this means for both OD and Visit remains to be seen, with both games without an official release window. Both are video game movie hybrids, with Nope and Get Out director Jordan Peele collaborating with Kojima on OD.
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
Visit was announced during a Sony State of Play broadcast, suggesting it may release on PlayStation 6. Meanwhile, Kojima's working on Death Stranding 2, which is out at some point in 2025, and the live-action Death Stranding film with A24. In his tweet, Kojima teased other adaptations are underway without saying any more.
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. What is interesting, though, is, like, I don't think that the strike's still going. Correct? Barrett, do you know?

not a great time to do most things if i'm being completely honest with you but but yeah no it's like this is obviously going to affect um studios like kuchima productions who do heavily rely on actors and many games do um so i feel like this is the type of thing where you know these strikes are important because we got to figure this shit out because they are clearly being undervalued and um disrespected to say the least when it comes to this ai integration of things and how

Microsoft's Xbox release policy means publishers and developers must release their games across both Series X and S. They're unable to release a game for Series X only, for example.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has deflected questions about whether Xbox Series S is holding developers back. Spencer has said, having an entry-level price point for a sub-$300 console is a good thing for the industry. I think it's important. The Switch has been able to do that in terms of kind of the traditional plug-in to my television consoles. I think it's important, so we're committed.

The situation with Black Myth Wukong, however, is further muddled by Microsoft's insistence that the game's delay on Xbox has nothing to do with development issues. In a number of statements issued to IGN, Microsoft has suggested an exclusivity deal with Sony was the cause of the delay. Quote,

New union productions, however, can't start with union members while striking.

What a fantastic time to be a Kind of Funny fan. I know we have a lot of people back for the very first time in a while. Some people here for the first time. The amount of tweets or threads or things I saw of people over the weekend that were saying that 2024 was their first year with Kind of Funny makes me very, very happy. I mean, there wasn't hundreds of them, but there was at least a dozen.

It was a good year. I got married. Won Game Showdown Season 1. Won Game Showdown Season 2. Won the Fantasy Critic, and it was undisputed. Undisputed. There was never any question.

You think Greg Miller ran out of energy? If anything, I think that that kind of gave him the energy. I didn't make it that far in Dragon Ball Z yet. Over my life, I will finish this show. But I feel like that Friday night's energy, or Friday and night, everything about Friday, that gave him that, like, he gets to go away into what, his hyperbolic chamber?

A modest six stories, but a big one with story number one. GTA 6 projected to make over $3 billion in its first year on sale. With a B. B. Billion. My God. This comes from Wesleyan Pool at IGN. That's almost as much as Star Wars was bought for by Disney. Yeah. In one year of this new game. In one year. God, that's nuts.

GTA 6 Projected to Make $3 Billion in Year 1 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.06.25
GTA 6 is projected to make an eye-watering $3 billion in its first year on sale. Rockstar's hotly anticipated open-world crime caper is currently due out fall 2025 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, with no word of a PC release for now.
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
A new report by the Financial Times, based on analysis by video game research group DFC Intelligence, predicts GTA 6 will exceed $1 billion in pre-orders before it even launches. $1 billion in pre-orders. Surprising no one, GTA 6 is expected to be the biggest entertainment launch of 2025, ahead of any movie or competing video game.
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
DFC predicted total revenue from GTA 6's first 12 months on sale will reach $3.2 billion. To put that into context, 2021's highest grossing movie Inside Out 2 made just shy of $1.7 billion at the global box office, which is absolutely massive and huge, making it the number one animated movie of all time. I didn't realize Inside Out 2 was hitting like that. It got that stuff. Wow.
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
It got that stuff. I gotta watch that movie. Yeah. It's pretty good. Pretty good. That was the first one. I loved it. I loved the first one. I thought the second one was like, oh, it was a good sequel. Not as good as the first, but like 1.7 million. That's crazy. Wow. A billion. Billion. In 2013, it took GTA 5 three days to surpass one billion, the fastest of that figure in entertainment history.

Strauss Zelnick, boss of rock star parent company Take-Two, told the Financial Times, quote, I never claim victory before it occurs. That said, I think Rockstar Games will once again deliver something absolutely phenomenal. Certainly, the anticipation is high.
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
As the Financial Times points out, the almost guaranteed success of GTA 6 comes amid one of the toughest periods for the video game industry in recent memory. More than 33,000 people have lost their jobs since 2022, with huge layoffs at the likes of Microsoft and Sony. Indeed, Take-Two itself have suffered layoffs and studio closures.
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
Like start to end, we had a plan and a vision that was taking advantage of what each individual here is good at. And we took that kind of to the utmost two years ago when we launched the studio, we did another amazing stream where we had every friend or guest we've ever met come through the studio. And that was also amazing.
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
other things now right so another part of that equation though is that less of the big high temple titles that were coming out during that time we're coming out because that's just the state and cycle of things and how these game development cycles have ballooned so it is you know kind of a two-sided coin where like mistakes were made with projections on both ends yes
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
We're going to see a spike.
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
I mean, ever, period, right? Yeah, possibly. I think that's it. So something I want to bring in, right? $3 billion they're talking about. When we're talking about movies, there hasn't been a movie that hit $3 billion. The number one highest grossing is Avatar at $2,923,000,000. Not even the highest grossing movie. Endgame, a little bit right behind that.
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
But what I thought was very special about this is we celebrated 10 years of kind of funny with all the retrospectives, the amazing videos you guys can watch on youtube.com slash kind of funny games. But once we started the stream, it was just us.
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
That's wild where the barrier to entry, while the ticket costs are nowhere near as much as a $70 title, maybe even more potentially with GTA 6, there's still a... There's no barrier to entry of having to own a console, right? So it's way easier for people to go out and watch Endgame multiple times, bring an entire family to watch it, all that stuff, right?

does this read concerning to you though like this sounds a little bit like we've seen this before of like hey let's take every team and throw it all at one problem but it the difference to me is like it seems like they're leading that with okay we actually don't even know how to solve the problem so we're gonna kind of work with y'all to try to see if maybe we can figure it out
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Just real quick, jumping off of that one last little point is this is like we're talking about EA, who in the last month we've talked about like how they invest in their expectations for Dragon Age.

Need for Speed is such an interesting thing because with Unbound coming out, that honestly might have been the most bizarre game release in the history of video games. How did a new Need for Speed with that much production value and that much unique stuff going on kind of come and go just because it felt like they were embarrassed of it?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Like, I think, what, we got a trailer weeks before? A month before? And then it just came out, like, dude, the worst time. Came and went. Didn't it come out, like, halfway through December? Like, what the hell were they doing? Like, why? There's a story there. Why'd they do that? Yeah.

I almost feel like the conversation about what's going to get people off of those games, I think that we're past that point. I think now the people playing those games want more of those games. They want more of what they already are enjoying.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Yeah, I feel like the idea of... I think Battlefield stuck in a very bad position where... They either need to do something completely different or they need to do something that just go back to what you used to do, do the exact same thing. And I think both are very risky because the new thing is like, all right, very unlikely to actually pay off. And then just going back to what used to work.

I mean, combine this with the last story. It tells a tale. These big publishers are in trouble. It is bad. And we've seen it for the last couple years with Ubisoft, and we're seeing it with EA. It is... they're in shambles trying their best to figure out how do we just even make money at all at this point?

PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Like this is so worrisome, especially after, you know, we've talked to death at this point that dragon age did not hit expectations. And that is so concerning because of how valuable that IP is to gamers and to EA. Right. And you look at mass effect, uh, one of the most marketable game franchises we've had in modern generations.

And for how bad they got Andromeda and Anthem, bring up all the things that we already know. Mm-hmm. This nothing about this gives me faith that the next Mass Effect is going to hit the way they need it to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
And I just feel like we are broken records at this point of talking about these big games of like, is it going to do what it needs to do? Whether it's Assassin's Creed, Dragon Age, any of these things, Battlefield, like we're in a bad spot that it feels like they're like, hey, out of desperation, just throw more and more and more at this problem.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Reading this, it's like, all right, so you're throwing less at Mass Effect. Those people that are being temporarily placed, are they going to Battlefield?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
wrong yeah and you know i think that this is all just a sign of a a chasing of numbers going up at any cost and needing everything to double and triple and go bigger and bigger and bigger and i think the pandemic and all that stuff is just like a blip on the radar when you really look at the cause of all of this when and when it started which is games realizing they could monetize past their initial sale
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
The moment that shift happened, we saw a change in EA and Ubisoft in their output and in the way that they treat their games. And to some level of success, and I don't necessarily think this is all a bad thing. I do want to give Ubisoft flowers for... One thing, if anything, which is finding ways to monetize games and have even non-live service games kind of live on and kind of have communities.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
And the amount of IP that Ubisoft are continuously supporting year after year is very impressive. I think that that's less true now. I feel like that's a little stale. But, like, thinking back 10 years ago, like, what they were able to pull off is pretty damn commendable.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
But... I think that they didn't have a next step. They didn't know what to do after they were able to come up with this. And now we're kind of seeing the well kind of dry up a bit. And we see both EA and Ubisoft looking at their strategy and being like, hey, we're not making more and more and more. This is bad. How do we fix this?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
And I feel like there isn't really a way to fix it because the shareholders don't care about the reasons. They just need the numbers to be bigger, right? So, yeah, it's just scary with EA in particular because of how big they are. And if they're, you know, we're seeing that their FIFA or their FC stuff is not making as much money as they're hoping or needing it to.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
We're just talking about need for speed. It's just like if... We're at a point now where they've kind of, like, fucked up all of their major IP and we're, like, giving up on things like Need for Speed that, sure, maybe that's not going to be a 10 million plus seller, but why not? I feel like the brand is there. Like, they should be able to, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And in ways that feel like we're going down a path that are, is unrecoverable.

This is dope, though. I really like the way this was kind of announced. And I like him even saying it's not Fallout New Vegas 2. Just kind of getting it out of the way and getting that speculation going. He could be lying. He could be lying.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Yeah. Pikachu Man will always kind of blow my mind for how relatively poorly it did. And I think it's just because the time it came out. Like, it came out right around Endgame and other giant movies like Lion King and Aladdin, which, like, we can look at and be like, eh, whatever. It's like, we're talking about some of the... highest grossing movies of all time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
It was so good they had to make a sequel.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
It definitely got in the way of the audience of a Detective Pikachu. But for what that movie was, a live-action Pokemon starring Ryan Reynolds as a talking Pikachu, and it only did, like, what, 300 million or something like that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
But whatever, that's almost an irrelevant stat. Like, that's fun to, like, when you're comparing it to other movies, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
If that movie came out at a different time, it would have done so much better.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Because it didn't do that well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
That surprises me. I don't think people looked at it like a failure, but they did not look at it like, we need to greenlit a sequel now. They are working on a sequel, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Is that, like, a rumor thing, or is that... No, they talked about it a long time ago, but, like, it's, you know, it's one of those things, I don't know if we're ever actually going to see it. But, yeah, they were working on a sequel to it, but it might have not been as much of the detective stuff, but it might have been more of, like, a core, like, more traditional type Pokemon thing, I know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
But there's also the live-action Netflix series that they're working on. Yeah, which is... I don't know what's up with that.

Man, we are weeks away from Pokemon Day. I'm excited. I think, I mean, clearly we'll see Za for the first time. It's nuts. We're going to go a whole year seeing nothing about that game since it was announced. And that is not Pokemon's MO at all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
What are we going to see? Are we going to look at this and go have the same reaction we do every time we see one of these new Pokemon games where we're like...

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
You know what I mean? First off, the date they hate. There's a lot of good juice there. Besides that, also, it lines up. Yeah. It's like, you know, we're expecting to get a state of play at some point. February, March, something like that. We need to get some updates, mainly on third-party things. But are you expecting this to be a good state of play or just another state of play?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
I would say so only because I don't know if they know yet. You know what I mean? Like, when you look at where PlayStation's at right now, it seems pretty clear that Ghost is their one big thing this year. There might be others. That's right. But, yeah, that's true. That is true. The positioning of it, I think, is going to be of the utmost importance. I think that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

What a weekend, Bless. The Royal Rumble. We were here in this room watching on this screen. Yep. Incredible. What a time that was. Congrats to Jey Uso. Congrats to Jey Uso. Can't believe it. Still can't believe it. So excited about it all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
We need to know a little bit more about the rest of the PlayStation Studios of what they have going on because it is their big thing, Death Stranding 2 notwithstanding. Mm-hmm. where are they going to, are PlayStation going to want to position it? And where's Sucker Punch ready for it? Because I don't think that game is ready, you know?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
But I think that PlayStation wants it to be ready as soon as possible.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Yeah, I'm with you there. I just think that, I don't know, something in my gut tells me that it's not ready, like, even for that summer date. But it could happen.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
No, I mean, I'm very surprised we haven't been getting a lot of Death Stranding 2 in the last couple Keeley events. Like, correct me if I'm wrong, like, both Game Awards and even Summer Game Fest, we didn't get anything from Death Stranding 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
And we kind of were expecting, at the very least, of some new actor or something weird or whatever. We didn't. So I think that we're due for some on-the-beach action.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
You know what I mean? And yeah, I do also assume that within the next two times we hear about Death Stranding 2, it'll be the release date. So I don't know that we're ready for that quite yet, but...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Well, looking at this article here, they're talking about what these February ones tend to be, and it is third-party stuff, bigger third-party things. So there is a couple big third-party question marks we have. Metal Gear Solid, Delta being a big one, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
We need to get that date at some point. I feel like that is also overdue. I can't believe we still don't have a date for that game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
I mean, yeah, I think so. I think that game is ready. I also think that there's potential that it is going to try to align with the Switch, but I also think that a lot of the third parties... aren't going to hold back to meet the Switch's launch. You know what I'm saying? I think you double-dip.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Exactly. So I feel like that's probably the strat there. But I imagine that if there's a state of play, which I believe there is, that we'll get that Metal Gear release date there. And the biggest thing I think that we can get from it would be Resident Evil 9.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Yeah, I think that, again, we know that Resident Evil 9 is going to happen. It's just a matter of when it's being announced. I do think that Capcom is in an interesting spot because... Oh, wait a minute. Capcom has their event tomorrow, don't they?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Hmm. Maybe they do it there. But if history's told me, Capcom spotlights are doo-doo butter. Yes. That's true. You're spot on with that. The PlayStation State of Play, we do get pretty major Capcom announcements. So maybe they're going to switch that up and try to own it a bit more. Okay. Because they have Onimusha, but that's way later out there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
I wouldn't be surprised Resident Evil at State of Play. I'm leaning towards that over the Capcom thing tomorrow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
I wonder if we get any Microsoft stuff. Indiana Jones trailer slash reminder or something. I feel like they don't need it, but it would be interesting to see how PlayStation themselves, via a state of play, their own kind of spotlight program, how they're going to handle the Xbox titles going forward.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Exactly. Things like that.

the Gran Turismo car. I don't know if that's a thing that exists. That's very funny.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Ooh, somebody in chat says Liza P DLC. That feels like another thing that like we were going to get this year at some point, at least the announcement of it. So yeah. Where does that fall? I don't Liza P. I don't necessarily associate with PlayStation that way.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
Yeah. So I feel like that would be more of a Akili event type announcement. Yeah. Um, Yeah, I feel like we're at an okay spot right now where I feel like going into a state of play, it's not like we're predicting all of the big PlayStation titles, right? Especially now that Naughty Dog's announced Interstellar. It kind of feels like, okay, cool. That's where they're at right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
We have ghosts to talk about. We have the known quantities. I don't think we're hearing about Sony Santa Monica's game in this February state of play. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
I think you're so right, Bless, but I think they do it. I think they have both.

PlayStation State of Play Rumored For Next Week - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.03.25
I haven't seen that anywhere. We're running out of core Resident Evil games to remake, so not the biggest surprise. But for some reason, I feel like we're going to get a Resident Evil 1 remake before we get a Zero remake.

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Absolutely. Yeah. I still, you're so right, Barrett. I think that's very important to talk about. But I also think that $3 million still cannot be too lofty of an expectation for a game like this. Oh, yeah. That, again, is like when you're putting that much time, effort, budget, resources, marketing, all of it into this thing. Like $3 million for a game of this stature.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
$3 million is a lot of sales, by the way. Like a freaking lot. Yeah. And you talking about the, Oh, people are playing call of duty. People are playing their 12 year old games, all that stuff. People are still buying games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

And when we see these big single player games getting into the 10 million up to 20 million sales, when you're talking about the big PlayStation stuff, you're talking about the big Nintendo stuff. It's like, it's not like, there's not a market of people out there to buy games like this at $70 to amount up to this number.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

This is why it happened. This is why it might've happened, all that. And they're all right. But the facts are the expectations were 3 million for dragon age veil guard. And it sold 1.5.

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
We're talking about the big bad wolf of the games industry for decades at this point. And we've seen them kind of turn things around. EA has had a couple major wins in the last couple years that things like It Takes Two, right? Like having the, what's it called? Is it EA Originals? The imprint that it has. They take swings on different projects and some smaller things that have really hit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
But they've also just had a lot of misses. And when you start adding those things up, when you think about all the Star Wars licensing and how bad that fumble was with the microtransaction story of Battlefront 2 a couple years ago. But then you look at Respawn and you look at them just utterly destroying... multiple sides of this.

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Respawn alone, if we're just going to talk about the big single-player games and the online live service multiplayer stuff, Respawn alone has Apex Legends and the Jedi games, right? Success, major sellers. Major sellers in terms of units sold and major sellers in terms of skins and battle passes and all of that stuff. EA does have that in certain forms, but to look at buyerware and to have the...

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
of Anthem than to have the misstep of the Legendary Collection to some extent. But even then, what was the problem with the Legendary Collection?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah, okay, so maybe that was a step in the right direction.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Totally. I want to understand that because I had a GTA definitive trilogy on the mind. I'm wrong about that. The Mass Effect trilogy, people would like that. Andy, who's a big Mass Effect fan, he'd like that. But then you had to get to this again, Dragon Age Railgun, a game that we know most people like liked a lot and not everybody and not the game of the year.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I mean, look at our game of the year list. It made a couple people's top tens. Yeah, right. That says kind of like, all right, there's a quality game there for people, but clearly the market isn't backing that up. So I don't know. It's just concerning that even what should be layups are just like airballing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Oh, I mean, I feel like everyone should be more worried about Mass Effect than Dragon Age to begin with because Andromeda, you know, like that's like the other big thing is like there wasn't a, and I'm speaking a little out of turn here because I'm not that up on Dragon Age, but in recent times, in recent generations, there hasn't been a bad Dragon Age, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
But still, that's the thing. In terms of a franchise, it's not like the expectation was that Veilguard wasn't going to be good. Yeah. You know what I mean? Of course. But in terms of franchise, you look at Master. But in terms of developers, there was trepidation going into Veilguard because of Andromeda and Anthem and all of that stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Oh, yeah, it is. You're kind of known for it. Before Souls, there was Ninja Gaiden.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
So Mike, this is a, me definitely asking you as the sports guy, me as a loser that has never touched a ball in my life. Um, Do you think this has anything to do, and am I even right in bringing this up as a question, that it's not FIFA anymore, that it's FC? No, not at all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Was that this year?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ninja Gaiden, that was the franchise on Xbox. I'm so surprised you being the Xbox guy that you missed out on this. Because growing up, the original Xbox, 2003 to 2005, that era, it was like, what does the Xbox have? A question that we've asked so many times. We know the answer now. Yesterday's showcase was a banger. And we got it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
And that is the thing about all of these different systems and microtransactions and even just annual releases of full price games and even just games that are buy it once and that's it. Like all these different ways of monetizing video game products are
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
There's timelines that I think eventually run out, and as the world and technology changes around them, you can't just get comfortable and be like, well, it's going to work this way forever. Because look what happens to physical media in so many different ways and what's happening to it, even now in video games. But when you look at music and movies and...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
everything like that right things just change over time like the iPod came out and all of a sudden digital music is the way people listen to music and that changed how music is made Spotify comes out now you can stream anything without even buying stuff you just have a subscription that changed how music is made I think that we are at a point now that the live service kind of the ultimate team card based stuff that has worked so well for 10 years in these sports games right
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Ultimate team? Yeah, maybe even longer, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah, we definitely had a decade of that. Like that stuff, it might be reaching the end of the line. I still think it'll be here for a while, but there's going to be something new that comes in that everybody latches onto and kind of figures out and becomes a new thing because people just get over shit over time. And also just the money dries up. And once the money dries up, nobody's...

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I mean, that's the thing bounce back. No, I don't think that you really can bounce back when it's just been this like insane growth up and up and up. And now it's like, we talked so much about Ubisoft over the last year and we're going to continue to, but we might not be talking about them next year. Right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
That is very doom and gloom, but is it very, or is it just kind of, and I don't think EA is going that way, but when you look at it, what is EA? It is IP. And if they fuck up all of their IP, they're nothing. Right. Yeah. They have FIFA or FC. It's still doing great. Like, even though it's dipping, it's still doing great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
great line up the first half of 2025 but back then there was the question of um i remember uh being in high school and it was like the fights between the ps2 and the xbox and i'm over here rocking for the gamecube not much has changed i love that um and the xbox it was like all right they got halo they have ninja gaiden they have splinter cell and that's it oh here's cool tour That was it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
They have Respawn, but we're coming up on, eventually, the third of the Jedi games, right? Apex is still killing, doing its thing. But, like, if they've... If they... I don't even want to say fucked up Dragon Age. Dragon Age isn't selling. Dragon Age is not hitting the way that it needs to. I don't think that the next Dragon Age is going to fix that. And even if it does, what are we talking?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Seven years from now? You know what I mean? Yeah, of course. Mass Effect. Is it going to work? You go down the list, it's like, at a certain point, what single-player EA games are there? What multiplayer EA games? They fucked up Battlefield. They fucked up Battlefield. It's just when you poison the well so much, what value are you actually having?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
What excitement is there when EA puts on a showcase? What are we looking for and hoping that they even announce? When you see that EA logo pop up, Does it make us go, ugh? Or does it make us go, is it this? Is it that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
And I feel like EA and Ubisoft, the two biggest third-party publishers, multi-platform specifically over the years, are getting less and less and less exciting and have given us less and less reason to trust them that their products are going to be great.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah. Yeah, a lot of maybes, but no matter what, that doesn't make things better.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I mean, I don't think that they've given us... Anything since the announcement of it to be like, oh, hell yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Like, we want this thing to succeed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
For sure. It's just we have our doubts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I think the reality is as many kids, if not more, are actually skateboarding now than ever.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
used to okay but i think that when tony hawk's pro skater came out like that changed the game and made skateboarding popular in the mainstream even if you don't actually skate and you just are like adjacent to the culture to some extent and that also happened during the x games era of it like if tony hawk landed in the 900 like there was that perfect boom in the late 90s right i think that now it is just uh it's less of like a counterculture thing and it's more just part of culture
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
So I think the numbers are there, but I just don't know if a video game necessarily is going to be backed by the people that actually skateboard. I think it's going to be more. It needs to be a great video game. And I think that that's a very tall order for EA Skate 4 in 2025.

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah. What's wild to me, though, Jack, just to give you some context for this, I would say that Ninja Gaiden on the original Xbox was talked about by video game magazines the way that... a ghost of Tsushima is talked about on PlayStation nowadays. Or, like, I mean, I'd go as far as saying an Uncharted.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I am not surprised by any of this. I will say I am heartened that the PS5 sales are as strong as they are and that in comparison to the PS4, that they are up at the timeline where they are.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
And we did an episode of Gamescast a couple days ago kind of predicting the rest of the PlayStation's life, and I feel like I was a little bit more optimistic than some of the other boys were about the rest of the PS5's life cycle. Okay, okay. And I think that this is a good sign there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I think that obviously we are in a rut, theoretically, based on all of the knowledge we have of the studios and live service games being canceled and us kind of being like, but where are the games that we actually want based on what we've been taught to expect from PlayStation with the absolutely incredible back half of the PS4?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
uh ps4's life will the ps5 have that can it keep up this pace of selling these consoles and all of that like that those are definitely big questions and we'll have to wait and see uh what ends up actually getting pulled out over there um the xbox stuff not a surprise right i feel like hardware clearly not the um utmost importance to xbox this generation they've made the most definitive shift to an ecosystem this is an xbox this is an xbox i guess technically this isn't i don't
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Um, not yet though. Um, but everything's Xbox and I feel like that's their strategy. So it's like, cool. I don't see this necessarily as bad news at all for Xbox. These are still healthy numbers. These are still numbers that are getting them a lot of revenue, um, for hardware that is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
fantastic right it's not like the xbox series x i don't i don't have much experience with the s so i'm not going to speak on it um but the series x is a great machine that is uh i think a incredible place to play game pass games right it's like it that is such a good investment to if you're just going to do one thing and not want to buy hella games but have hella games you buy an xbox series x you buy a game pass and you're
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
this year with so many hopefully amazing games coming out month after month. But even if you don't want to do that, get Game Pass somewhere else. And they're fine with that. I think that this is not a this versus that. There's apples and oranges here more than there ever has been. But I do think that... It is good that PS5 sales are pacing ahead.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
That, I think, is not necessarily something that is a guarantee when we're following up story number one of EA not reaching expectations. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I think so, Tim. I mean, I just don't. I think that what we're going to see is there will be way more hardcore console players making the transition to be PC gamers. I do not think that the trend is going to shift to people entering the ecosystems of video games jumping to PC. I think that PC has such a long way still to go to be as user-friendly as a console is.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah. I actually never played through two. At all. Also, one was freaking hard. Like, what is a game that, like, if I'm being completely honest, I doubt I actually beat. But that was the era. Again, I was, like, what, 14 or so? Yeah. Me and Curran, he would be sleeping over at my house, and we would just trade the controller off back and forth. Who ended up playing more? Him.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I think SteamOS and the plans that we've been talking about and hearing about might change that, but they haven't yet, and I won't believe it until we see it. The PC market has grown exponentially in terms of video games, and I think that the evidence is shown by how many developers are putting their games on PC. Back in the 360 days,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
ps3 days we weren't seeing we would not expect we would be surprised if any of the major games we were talking about were also coming out on pc um there were pc games and then there were console games and then there was a couple that uh would go back and forth like a call of duty but that was before call of duty is what it is now and i do think that call of duty was a major shift towards um the publisher seeing viability in releasing games on pc
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah, and I think what's interesting is, again, I do think that we're going to see the pie chart of where games are being played grow on the PC side more. And I do think there's a million different reasons for that. I mean, even just talking about just Xbox here, there are less Xbox out there. There's going to be more people playing Xbox games on PC. So less Xbox, more PC. That all makes sense.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
You bringing up all the Twitch streamers, that is a subsect, but a major subsect of people that want to engage with gaming content and buy gaming content. Yeah, they're going to want PCs. So that all makes sense. But I don't think that... While I believe that we are going to see a world where digital eclipses physical game sales by a... I mean, it already is at a ridiculous amount.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I think it is going to eclipse it to the point of just being like... undeniably the majority across the board. I think that we're not going to ever get to a point that more people are playing games on PC than they are on the consoles. I think that the sales of any individual game is going to be higher on PC on the console than it is on PC for the majority of games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
But did you really beat Fallen Fantasy 7 Rebirth? You know what I mean? Does it fucking matter?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
There's always going to be exceptions that are more PC focused, but I think that is the conversation, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah, I mean, I'm not surprised. I mean, just look at, I feel like the Xbox One, and again, I don't need to even give my own feelings or opinions on this. We know what happened. Phil's talked about what happened here. The Xbox One did not have enough high quality. high quality games to in the era of that meaning the most to sell consoles and have people invested in that system. They didn't do it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
So I think because of that, like, why would people buy the Xbox Series X? And I think the Xbox Series X time and time and time again during this generation has proven you don't need to buy this to enjoy the Xbox games that may or may not even be coming. We are now at a point that they're here. We're at a point now that, I mean, Indiana Jones, incredibly well received.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
We have a back-to-back couple months ahead of us that I think this is going to be a very telling time of we are closer to having the dominoes fall down than we've ever been. And we've talked about this before, and it's failed. The dominoes were lined up with the Forza is going to lead into Red Falls, going to lead into all that. And it's like, Forza, great game of the year.

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
potential of other hardware developers making uh xboxes like making their own versions and stuff like that that is a very interesting future that i don't necessarily think is going to be like the most popular uh gonna change the game in terms of numbers here but i do think that that is the future we're moving towards um and i mean even if it is just a feature of
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
a pc of a desktop that like it has an xbox mode because of some type of xbox os that's really really smart and um at a certain point i think could become a fairly ubiquitous thing at least across windows uh pcs but yeah very very very interesting there i like that all right well we'll keep an eye on sales of course ps5 up i'm jumping in thinking that you're what can you hear me
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Barrett, I just sent Assets a ton of pictures. I actually accidentally ended up at the Video Game History Foundation a couple months ago because I went.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Legitimately, accidentally, because I went to do Rita's Rewind, the Power Rangers game preview at Digital Eclipse, and that's where their offices are next to each other. And after we played, they were just like, oh, Tim, their PR guy, was like, Tim, I know you love old video game magazines and stuff. You want to see something super cool. And I was like, sure. Where are you taking me?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
And he's taking me through a whole bunch of hallways and stuff, and then I end up in this room that was just... bookshelves covered with every single Nintendo Power Electronic Gaming Monthly game port. That's the first issue of Game Informer ever. They had every single issue of every video game magazine ever made. And on top of that, so many super rare things that...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Flyers and booklets and promotional materials from like every E3, every CES, everything like this is just history of all of this stuff on top of a ton of like video games that only one copy exists of like prototypes and stuff like very, very, very cool stuff. And they were telling me that they're working on digitizing it all. So we're here. It's happening.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah. Like being in this room, like I had, I was overwhelmed, man. Like I had to kind of play it cool. Like it was like, this is insane. How much is around me that I just want. I just couldn't sit there forever reading stuff. And now I don't need to sit in that room. I'd be able to do it here.

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
We talk on this show so much about how sad the state of the video game industry is. I am so happy that things like this are still around. These fun Easter eggs that the community gets together, tries to figure it all out. I love every single thing about this. I saw this popping off yesterday, and my first thing was looking at that field. Like, there's some of the gameplay of it in the field.

I'm like, this is gorgeous. This game is gorgeous. Shout out to Mortal Kombat 1. But on top of that, the chat... has taught me something about Floyd that I, oh my God, it just makes me smile so much. Why is his name Floyd?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Pink Floyd. And why is the purple ninja named Rain? Purple Rain. Purple Rain. Fuck yeah. Wow. Congratulations.

Greg, this new un-egged Greg, you know what I mean? I don't like it. He's going too far. And there's no way to rein it in. 2025, I'm bringing it. Yeah. And by bringing it, it just means torturing Tim Geddes. Yeah. I would argue... I might not be the one that deserves it least at this company. Okay. But I'm definitely in the short runnings for that. You're top three of people who don't deserve it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
A little sad because Astral Chain kicks freaking ass. This is interesting, though. I was kicking myself after I did my Tim Geddes predicts the first year of the Nintendo Switch 2 a couple days ago with Blessing because one of the predictions I wanted to make was Astral Chain 2. My October was a little light. I only had Halo Master Chief Collection, and I wanted to add a little bit more pizzazz.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
And when I was in the shower, I thought this, and I was like, oh, hell yeah. And then I forgot about it. So then after the show, I was like, damn it, I forgot Astral Chain. But now here we are. Probably not Astral Chain, too, if this is the situation going on.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
It was very cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah. But yeah, you know, this is I don't know anything about this eel game studio. So we'll see where this goes. But yeah, platinum games all over the place, man. Like, you know, their track record is inconsistent, I would say. But I feel like they've been pretty good recently putting out some hits. We have Ninja Gaiden that we're looking forward to with number four coming out now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
But yeah, good luck to this. Again, Astral Chain was great. So hopefully this, whatever he ends up working on next is going to be a banger too. I love that.

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah. I mean, Capcom, I don't think normally talks too much about the games unless they're like astronomical record-breaking stuff until they do their big like annual financial thing. So yeah, I brought this up here. We have as of April 2nd, 2.2 million, right? Okay. 2.5.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah, so I got some of your wrongs, actually, I want to get to real quick. So we got Big Bad Beluga saying, Preston and Holden RB in Ninja Gaiden will lock on to a single enemy for you to attack like Zelda. We're going to teach Blessing that when he comes on camera. Benny B. Good says Dead or Alive 6 is the most recent Dead or Alive from 2019.

Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
And we knew it was going to be me and you on the show, which always a very, very fun time and a very excited for. But I was like, you know what, Mike? Are you comfortable sitting in the hosting chair today? Because I don't think we've done this. I don't think we've done this. And I'm very excited.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Kabob says Game Pass is available on Mac, meaning that by Xbox marketing, Tim's laptop is an Xbox. And then Grezik says Xbox Cloud Gaming is supported on Safari, so your Mac can be an Xbox. Then it seems like there's just other features that Mac has for Xbox, so I was just straight up wrong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
And then Banderasen says, Tim said Forza Horizon 5 was a Game Awards Game of the Year nominee, but it did not get nominated. It came very close to the cutoff and was only nominated for Best Racing and Best Accessibility.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I don't think that the everything is an Xbox is. I do think that Game Pass is. And I also think that the everything is an Xbox is a direct result of Xbox needing to kind of panic shift their strategy to make up for the issues of Game Pass. And people can get mad at me for that, but that is what I believe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I mean, I think, I think that that part of it, it's going to work because it just means Xbox. It's, it's just a very fancy third party, which I think is the best place for Xbox to be at this point. Yeah. But yeah, I do think game pass is detrimental to the industry.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Yeah, but I think they're all kind of different. My read on that is not a positive of what Netflix is doing, right? I think that it is more of just like... I don't have time to get into all of this right now, but the one-liner that I will say is big-budget Hollywood movies are made because they make up to a billion dollars at the box office.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Those movies and the level of money being put into them, resources being put into them... is going to get lower and lower and lower when the barrier to entry is a Netflix subscription that is not paying enough for the movies to be made and TV shows to be made at the scale that they need to. And the subscription is going to keep raising and raising. Netflix is now $25.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
And that's just going to keep going up. But guess what? That's not going to make up for box office of movies in the same way that a $70 video game title is not going to be reached by Game Pass subscribers. when you have to offer more and more and more and more and more constantly. Bear agrees with that. Do you disagree?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Again, people don't want to hear this, but people are still buying PlayStation exclusive games on PlayStation and Nintendo exclusive games on Nintendo, and they're not buying the Xbox exclusive games on Xbox, and there's a lot of reasons why, but that's where this is at. I think that PlayStation currently has the luxury to be able to pick and choose. They're clearly experimenting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
uh adventures being a great example of that um and then we're going to see i think more and more especially as they see the success of pc gaming and the sales on pc but even then they need to think about their strategy a bit and figure out what that's going to look like for them long term and i don't know that that uh holds up going back to a conversation we're having earlier in the day of like what does the latter half of playstation games look like will there be a turning point that people aren't showing up and they're they aren't selling their 70 prestige playstation studio titles
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
So I know Chris Anka loves these movies. Loves them. Right? And so because of that, I feel like you have that nice in. Are you, besides that, interested in watching these? Or are you feeling like, oh, this is like a more social thing, like I know you like to do?

And honestly, I recommend that for everybody. This is a very big undertaking doing these alien movies. I know it's been very requested over the years. And I'm excited, man, because I know there's some really good highs and there's some really low lows. And that usually means a good interview. So stay tuned, everyone. This last movie was really, really good, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Best sports games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
NBA Street Volume 2. Got to be on the list. Does sports include skateboarding? Yeah, of course. Tony Hawk's pro skater. Two's probably on the list. You think Kelly Slater's surfing will be on it? Kelly Slater pro surfing. Sean White's pro snowboarding. Do you think Wave Race 64 is on there?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
So here's the problem with the prompt, and this is often the problem, Mike, as you're going to learn the more shit list you do, is what headspace are the editors in? Are they equipped to make this list where they're thinking about the difference between Madden 04 versus 07? You know what I mean? Because that's what you want. Or is this just a list of like, what are 25 popular sports games?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
You know what I mean? Or, even worse, are they just going to say Madden, the franchise? No, you can't say that. Well, you say that, Mike. Just fucking wait until they do. Who wrote this list? We're going to find out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
A baker's dozen!
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
These are bad, bad numbers, Mike. All of this. Everything about this. Bad. We're talking about Dragon Age. A major IP in video games. Not even just talking about EA. Talking about all of video games. We're talking about a multi-platform game. So the excuses of, oh, it didn't sell well because X, Y, Z, you're running out of the variables there, right? Yes. This is more of like, hey, it didn't work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
That must have been a very expensive video game. You're talking about FC25 not hitting where they need it to. Yeah. You can rely on it, moneymaker. Them going as far as saying it's the Swiss clock of interactive media bookings growth. Those motherfuckers refined that sentence, and I bet that they talk about that all the time in meetings, and they're just like, well, we got this Swiss thing, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
This is scary.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
So you were talking about the games cast we have coming up that's going to be you and Bless once again doing a shit list. What a combo the two of you have been. Yesterday, the two of you got to sit down on the couch and play a bunch of Ninja Gaiden 2. Tim, it looks cool. Yeah. It's a cool-looking game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
I mean, yeah, I do think that it is a bit of a surprise that the numbers are as low as they are. I do think that there is a lot of factors against it. I think that we are in a very tumultuous era of video game marketing and how word of mouth
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
at this point works against your game as much as it works for it um and i also just think it is a a more saturated market than it's ever been from every level from triple a all the way down to the indiest of indies and uh getting something out there to hit on the critical level sales level and beyond that that a kind of just consumer acceptance level, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
That's very, very hard, even for the biggest, best games out there. But for them to miss by 50%, that seems like a massive miscalculation. And... I will say that when we talk about the stories of a Square Enix and their expectations for some of the Final Fantasies that were exclusive on consoles and them not hitting expectations and it being like, what were those expectations?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
Ubisoft as well, them being more multi-platform. But sometimes the expectations for sales are just so astronomically out of whack for what's realistic. $3 million for Dragon Age Veilguard, the first Dragon Age in a very long time that is a quality game, backed with multi-platform, not hitting that $3 million by 50%.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Dragon Age & FC Underperform: Is EA in Trouble? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 01.24.25
That's a really telling sign of there's a problem in this industry with how video games are being made because I don't think that that is a, oh, man, they were expecting too much type situation.
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 don't know. I think it, I, I don't know. I think that this year is the most up in the air. Cause there's not the one obvious answer because of the way we do our game of the year. It is very much about what is the game that the most people here like the most.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
Exactly. And then you combine those things together and it creates a list that I don't think any single person here is going to agree with, but it's going to represent the company.
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 because of that, and that's the whole point of the metaphor, right? But because of that, I don't know. I honestly, I don't think that there's even a front runner in my mind for what might win. Interesting. I think metaphor is probably in the running of that simply because of how high it's going to be.
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 mean, any game that's number one on any one of our lists, I feel like is in the conversation. Then you take the next question of will anyone else have it? And I think that at number one or even high or even on the list. Yeah. Right. Because like Prince of Persia is my number one. I don't. I'd be shocked if it's even on more than two other people's lists. Sure.
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 am I cool? It's not going to be that. Whereas Metaphor, it's going to be on at least a couple of ours, and I know it's going to be number one on Barrett's. Yeah, it'll be high on Bless's, I would assume. High on Bless's. So I think that gives it kind of a bump. But then there is the Astrobot of it all. which is the one I'm rooting for.
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 think Astro Bot's going to be our winner, and that's based on it.
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 think the Ratchet and Clank one is. Because that's when that actually happened. Imran came in. Imran's the reason Final Fantasy won. Because he straight up fucked Last of Us 2 on purpose. Why? So that Final Fantasy would win. Does he hate woke games? I mean...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
What I am saying is he played the game there in a way that the rest of us don't play the game. Sure. That's fun though. Whatever. We have rules. Play by the rules however you want it. But when it comes to the Ratchet and Clank here, that's when I think that it was like, oh yeah, everything got kind of... I think Astro Bot's going to be in most people's
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 don't think there's any chance Final Fantasy is number one. Okay, fair. But I do think it will be high. What are the odds for Starfield Shattered Space? Zero. Like, actually zero. I mean, even being in the top ten, I think it's actually zero. If you put it as your number one, I wonder if that would get it on the list. It's not even in my top five.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
It might, because I think there's so many games that we're all into different stuff this year that, like, ten points might be enough.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24

Like, what a great time out there. Amazing time, man. And, like, so many great indies this year, too. And I feel like at every level there was, like, really, really special games. And it's funny because the Nintendo side, I think, is the one that was incredibly consistent, just not spectacular. Like, a lot of eights this year from them, I would say.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

This is the first chance for Nintendo to be fighting on equal enough ground with PlayStation and Xbox in a generation since back in the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube days.

I mean, every sign that we have seen, I'm not going to say it's going to be the best place to play, but I do think that we are building towards a... a place where with PC gaming, console gaming, handheld PC gaming, cloud gaming, AI, all of it is lowering and connecting the low and high end of things that games just need to be able to play in a bunch of different places.

And with so many PS5 games even also coming out on PS4, and we're hearing about the potential stats back in the Switch 2, I think we're not going to get every single game. That would be wild.

The reality is that's how this should work, right? You put it handheld. It works one way. You put it on the dock, and it works significantly better. For some reason, we just haven't seen that yet actually work, even on the PC side of things.

I think it was Bob Wolf, who I watch a lot of his YouTube videos, very, very in-depth, great stuff into the tech of a lot of more retro handhelds, but also just experimental things, a lot of the PC handheld stuff, too. And they were breaking down, like, how wild it is that, like, the GPU docks you can get for these things. It's not as plug and play as it should be.

Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
It doesn't just work the way it needs to. And with the Switch, that's the entire premise is that it actually works the way that the commercials said it did. And that's why the Switch is so successful. In 2017, none of us believed that. And then we saw it and we're like, oh, my God, it actually works. Yeah. I don't know that we're going to be quite there.

Is Metaphor Refantazio The REAL Game of The Year? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.20.24
These watt numbers they're putting out here, like clearly the Switch 2 is going to be significantly more powerful than the Switch 1. So I'm not surprised it needs more power to be usable and run. But I don't know that this necessarily means that like, oh man, when you put it on the dock, then it's going to be substantially better.

There will be the things like it'll run, I mean, fingers freaking crossed in 4K, whereas it clearly isn't going to do that on the handheld device that's not going to have a 4K screen. Yeah. Um, and, but even the switch currently does that. Well, seven 20 to 10 80. It's a whole thing. I know what you mean. Yeah. Okay.

I love this game. I hate that they require 45 wins for the events. It's simply too much. Yeah? You do not get enough rewards game to game to go all the way up to 45, and the games just take way too long for that to happen. Maybe I'm Marvel snapped out. Maybe Marvel Snap just taught me another way and how quick these things should go.

Semi-loaded question here. But I know you very well. I know Andy very well. I know most people on the team very well. Not everybody. I know that you and Andy, y'all the boys, when it comes to the Souls games and all that stuff in terms of the co-op and teaming up, I know Nick's a part of it.

Mic up the audience, though, y'all. I'll pay for it next year. That's it. They were smiling. They were having fun. They were smiling. Mic them up so it doesn't feel so awkward when they make the jokes and people are laughing, but we don't hear them laugh. That's true.

But like, I don't want to speculate though about what might happen next for this game. I feel like, you know, we do that a lot. You just played stuff. I don't want to, I want to know what's actually happening with this game.

SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Real quick, just looking at the chat from what I'm getting here, it sounds like we knew DLC was happening already. They said that. But it sounds like some of the details might be like the actual, oh, it's going to be more bosses and things like that. That's the potential slip up here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Mike, I'm very happy I'm asking you this question. I imagine this game is going to be very successful. Real successful. I imagine they're going to make a lot of money from people like you, people like Andy, you know, maybe people like Bliss. From software fans. Those bosses out there, they're going to want them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
This sounds like it could really work from a business perspective and a fan perspective of giving them what they want. Do you think, Mike, that this game is successful enough that it has all the bosses from Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3? And I don't know if they're allowed to have Bloodborne, probably not, but maybe they hinted at a spiritual version or whatever, blah, blah, blah.

SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Do you think we get to the point that we fucking jump the shark? Okay. And we start collabing. And they're like, you know what? This game's not about the Elden Ring lore. This isn't about getting things right. This shit ain't canon. Okay? You're fighting a monster from Monster Hunter. A Roflose or whatever. You're fighting Nicki Minaj. She was in Call of Duty.

I am incredibly interested on the trajectory of this game. I expect very big things and I am just very interested in how they navigate getting things right, getting things wrong, and adapting with the audience, I have faith that they're going to push the boundaries but kind of keep people happy, which is a good place to be. That's where you want to be.

SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
It's a game that speaks to everyone, and it has that, like, yeah, it is AAA, and it is a PlayStation Studios game, but there's something to it that it could be picked up by anybody and enjoyed by anybody, and there's a creativity that we want to support there, and I think that that's amazing. On the other side, Indiana Jones. Getting a whole bunch of wins and a lot of support from the industry.

I do want to just say, I've said this a couple times recently, but shout out to Insomniac Games. What an amazing group of people. I've met many developers and publishers and just industry people over the years, and there is not a single company that every single person I've ever met there is a 10 out of 10.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And Insomniac is like every and I've now met a couple handfuls of people there and they are wonderful. They care so much. They're passionate about what they do. They care about each other so much. Great stuff. And yeah, I think that obviously the games speak for themselves, but I do think it's so valuable to award people like Ted for that hard work and such amazing stuff.

SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
I am not at that at all. Like, I think that I've said this for as long as I've been speaking into a mic about video games. I am a fan of the unicorn game. I am the fan of the holy crap. I can't believe this is actually happening. And it's going to take many years. We are going to hear about this thing every once in a while.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Then we're just going to go for a big dry spell of not hearing about it, and then eventually we're going to hear about it again. I don't want every game to be that way, but we get thousands of games a year at this point. I want to have a couple that were like the big dogs. And the fact that I'm talking about a big dog, about Okami 2, you know what I mean? A cult classic game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
That's where I want to be. Get this one right. It's not important for this to come out and just... It needs to be good if you're going to do this, because Okami is very special. Like, Mike, if you don't know, Okami is a game that came out during the PS2 generation at a time when, and GameCube generation, at a time that people were like, hey, this is better than the Zeldas right now. Wow.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Because it's a Zelda-like game. Okay. And I think that over time, you know, people have kind of, like, really warmed up to Wind Waker. But Okami's still in that conversation. It's a very special game. If you haven't played it, the HD version's out now. You can check it out. But, yeah, take your time. Get this right. And also, shout out to Capcom, man.

And it's kind of easy sometimes to get upset and just start like throwing around words that really don't mean anything when you're mad at something or whatever. But like sometimes you just need to. So I just, Kevin, let's take a moment, Tim. Give us it. Please give me the one. Fuck you, Ubisoft. Fuck you. I hate this shit. Maybe I'm petty as hell right now coming off.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And I know that this is not professional. This is irresponsible. I don't give a shit, man. What y'all did to Ubisoft Montpellier for Prince of Persia Lost Crown. Fuck that shit, man. My favorite game last year. It's going to be one of my favorite games of all time. And you did that team so fucking dirty. After it won a bunch of awards, I just was looking at the dice.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
I think it was nominated for multiple awards. Might not have won. Fucking nominated. You know what wasn't? Your fucking live service games. God damn it. I hate this fucking shit. And also, this isn't going to happen anyways. We're going to fucking fail. All my friends there, get the fuck out. Find a new place. Get on the lifeboard.

SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
I've never been more confident in the Crew Motor Fest.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
That's all I have to say. Okay. Again, I am coming off as a fucking hater, and I am very legitimately mad about this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Because I do care about these things. But all the shit aside, there's so many talented people here working on these games. I don't even want to shit on the Crew Motor Fest. The little that I've played about that game, it is stunning. It is so fun to play. The people working on that game truly, deeply care about making a good game. But Ubisoft needs to set them up to be able to succeed.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And they need to be able to, I don't know, just create a better environment culturally within video games so that, like, we don't hear Ubisoft and immediately, like, have our blood start boiling.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And like, you know, maybe again, I'm on the way more hyped up mad side of this. But like, I do think that there was a time when we would be waiting for E3 and the Ubisoft press conference was one of the ones I was looking forward to the most. Of course.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And now I'm at a point that I am begging and praying that they don't do a Ubisoft forward. Just don't.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Because you're not going to miss out on Elden Ring. And by the way, getting to 3 a.m. just means... getting there to hope that it was ready and actually going to work. And then how long did you get to play? Until 6.30 in the morning. And did you do that?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
side a remake of final fantasy tactics this according to noted industry insider nate the hate aka the number one man in games industry bullshit right now that i hear his name and i'm like yo everything's riding on you if you say something i believe it and the moment he's wrong we're all gonna turn on you positively respectfully but no right now dude nah Nothing but trust.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
This is important to talk about, exciting to talk about. There's a lot of different things here. One is these are some of the last remaining games from the NVIDIA League. Oh, okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
So it's one of those things. I think it's one of the origin stories of the where there's smokes, there's fires conversation on Games Daily where one by one, all of those games announced on the NVIDIA League have been announced, including things like Kingdom Hearts 4. That felt kind of like a wild thing. Yeah. But anyways, here we are now, both Final Fantasy IX and Tactics with remakes coming.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
We've been expecting this. We've been predicting it. Oh, it's going to be a state of play. Oh, it's going to be a Keeley's event. Oh, it's going to be here. And it hasn't. So that's surprising.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
These dates talking about it's not even going to make 2025, I'm a little bewildered by that, Mike, because I am kind of expecting Final Fantasy IX to be very different from the Final Fantasy VII remake project. Oh, okay. Final Fantasy VII, more reimagining than anything, a three-part freaking epic. I think Final Fantasy IX is going to be one skew. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And it's done more than a remaster, but not quite a reimagining. Like, I think it's so strange.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Yeah, I think closer to RE2. Closer to RE2. But yeah, so that's cool. And then Tactics as well. I feel like Tactics is one of the, again, I think cult classic Final Fantasy games, and even then one of the highest rated PlayStation games of all time. It's still a big deal. But I do think Tactics kind of has the juice going into it, that if it got a...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
dope-ass re-release now, it's going to hit very hard for people. Last thing I want to say, you combine both of these things, whether it's a delay or just kind of like timing of strategy of when they're putting this out, whether it's 2025, 2026, Because right now I think they're talking about Final Fantasy IX not being 2025, so maybe Tactics is. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
I very much expect we can combine this information with what Square has been saying about really focusing on multi-platform success. And I imagine that these games will launch day and date on... PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch 2. Okay, big.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And so I think that that is very, very good and awesome and hopefully can kind of get a nice reset for Square to come up with realistic sales expectations and to have a better understanding of what they are capable of. We're talking about not spreading themselves too thin and focusing more on the bigger hits. I think these two can be relatively big hits. Not the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
biggest successes that they've ever had. But I do think that especially you get the quality right, you get the marketing right, you put them on all the consoles, you're going to be in a good spot.

I don't want to spoil who it was. I saw it. I didn't watch it yet. I just saw the headline, and I was like, I need to check this out. I need to see what this is all about and what bullshit Mike's about to bring to the world right now. But it made me think, first and foremost, did I miss your birthday?

Sorry, I know we're already going long. There's two things that I feel the need to say. We're in housekeeping. So one of them is a shout out to all you for supporting on Spotify. I've been saying this last couple of days. We've been getting a lot of really, really, really cool behind the scenes props for y'all showing up on and watching video on Spotify.

I love it. You're looking good. Tim, I got a vest. You do have a vest. You came in. Obviously, it's my good spirit. Super hyped. It's not like you were starting a game at 3 a.m. last night. And here you are. And we all saw the thumbnail. But you walk in and you're like, it's Workwear Fridays, which is not something I've heard before. You then proceed to say it's because we got to go to work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
And they're being talked about. funny because of y'all showing up and supporting so hard since we launched video on Spotify and it's making me feel real good that I'm like, we're doing something.

Our numbers are insanely low compared to theirs, but where people are like, who the fuck are those guys? You know what I mean? So let's keep it going. Thank you so much. That's awesome. And second off, I know we already talked about the workwear and all that. Yeah, workwear. I'm a big vest fan. I haven't worn vests since middle school. I used to rock them all the time, the big puffy vest.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
I love that shit. Mike, you're doing God's work. Bring them back.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Here's the thing. I think overall, this is all good news because when you really break this down, this is just from software showing that they care and really care about the community and fan base. And they're apologizing for something that they truly do not need to apologize for. It is a network test. So it's all about. It's about testing the network. We're trying to break this network.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Tim, we got to put in the work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
You saw that. Let's break this shit. And yeah, is it a good sign that it broke so easily? No. But it's a network test, right? Like, hey, they're trying to learn, trying to figure out, like, what to do going forward. I think that if this results in a, it won't be flawless, but as close to flawless as possible launch, that's what this is all for, right? The 3 a.m.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
time is interesting to me because why would you do a test at 3 a.m. Pacific? You know, that's 6 a.m.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Well, you know what it is, though. Well, but that's the thing is, I just don't know. I don't know where. Well, it's global. Yeah, but where is that relevant for? I'm just bringing this up being like, chat, let me know. What audience is this hitting? Let us know. Yeah. Because I understand. I fully understand. Just to be clear, I fully understand. But I just, I don't know what, where it's for.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
You get what I'm saying? I mean, that's probably- Where are they kind of targeting there?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Yeah, I just wonder what their main player base is. I wonder what the strategy between- doing a network test that's this big. Was their biggest audience there at that time, or was this them trying to avoid their biggest audience? Getting ready for tonight. You get what I'm saying? I don't know. It is interesting, though, that it had some issues. But Mike... Did you have issues?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
Before you even get to your highlights, I need to know. Because right now you're telling me we got overall Mondays. Overall Mondays because we're overall Mondays. Oh, okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
SnowBikeMike played Elden Ring Nightreign at 3AM - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.14.25
at and see where they're at right here so all the the network step aside because i feel like we get it we're aligned we understand what this is and again them apologizing and all that it's just above and beyond this is just them like being really really really supportive i think is the right word um gameplay wise

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
But also, what pass are they getting, if we're really being real? If every time they do something like this, everyone's pissed off. That's what they're not getting a pass from.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I honestly, I think that like the... Giving a pass is an abstract concept that we can apply to stuff, but it doesn't actually mean shit. Because at the end of the day, giving a pass is just, do I want to buy a product or not? Is it worth it to me? And sometimes you even buy the product and you're like, that wasn't necessarily worth it, but I wanted it, so I did it anyway.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Please do. And M2M, just do your thing. I'm so happy for y'all. Everybody, go check out M2M's Don't Say You Love Me 2025 edition. Tell me how it is. I haven't had time to listen to it yet.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Like, just no. Do I want to play? Nintendo has the games I want to play. That's all that it is. Yeah. So I'm not more willing to because it's Nintendo. In fact, if a game came out on multiple, like an old game was re-released on multiple systems, I'm not going to buy the Nintendo version because it's going to be lesser then. So I think that's a perfect example of it, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
But Mario's only on Nintendo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
The $80 thing is what I'm most fascinated by. Years from now, what's the landscape going to look like for video games? Is this just going to be the new standard? What was it? Was it NBA 2K? Was the first $70 PS5 title? In the last week, I've seen so many people be like, where was this energy for PlayStation? Listen to any games daily around that time.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
We were like, holy fuck, this is the beginning of a new standard. And here we are now. It's just that's the new standard. Nintendo is now raising that up, which we're all like, what the fuck? I don't think any of us are giving it a pass. Sure. At all. Like, that's insane that it's $80. I also get it. Think about where we're at in the world.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
So I don't even know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
But also, I don't know if three years from now, when we're looking at the first three years of the Switch 2, what are games going to be priced? The fact that Donkey Kong is $70 is bizarre.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
How you doing, though?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I just think that's so weird. Again, we have a Mario Kart Direct coming next week. That, I think, is going to answer a lot of questions. We played Mario Kart. I think that we understand the scope of it a little bit better than... just watching the announcement trailer or whatever, like actually getting your hands on it, you're like, okay, I see what they're doing here. Yeah. $80 though?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Like, how is that going to be? How is a Mario Kart $80 worth $80 to Nintendo and they're presenting it that way? But, and again, because Nintendo is so fucking weird and won't talk about the shit, we don't know this for fact, but let's just assume that the Super Mario Odyssey team's Donkey Kong game is lesser than? How?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I mean, it's just wild that in Nintendo's recent history, the two games that they've given a premium price point are Tears of the Kingdom and now Mario Kart. Yeah. Like, one of these things is not like the other, unless it is, unless Mario Kart World is about to be so much bigger than we expected. Like, is there going to be a massive campaign mode?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yeah, I mean, it's a bizarre call, I think. I think it is. $80 Mario Kart is, I think, the most surprising thing to come from any of the Nintendo news in the last week, and that includes a new FromSoftware game.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yeah, I just... It's so complicated because of just the financial realities of the world right now that I think does change so much of this, where if it weren't the case, I don't think Nintendo would be charging $80 for their games. That's not their MO to go higher than others. In the past, of course, there are outlier examples over the last couple decades, but
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I think more so there's examples of Nintendo trying to be $10 less than the competitors and like trying to come in at that more available open space. I mean, even just look at the Wii, right? The power of the Wii and the choices that they made to essentially just have it be a glorified GameCube with different features, right? Like where we're at now, this is the closest example.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And I've said this a million times of Nintendo actually playing catch up to be in the same ball game as the other guys. With the advancements in PC gaming and how the scale has kind of widened in terms of as high budget and high production as video games are getting, there's still a desire and need to have them run on lesser quality machines.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And we're finally getting to a point that a Nintendo machine is there with the other guys. And I think that so much of the value of what Nintendo's been able to do is create amazing games that... don't need to be the most realistic-looking things with ray tracing and all this stuff because they don't need that stuff. They have the art style.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
They make games with a budget in mind to just make magic and then sell that thing. And with everything that they've been doing with announcing the Switch 2 of like, yo, 4K, 120 FPS, HDR, all this stuff, it's like some of these things are mind-blowing that we spent months talking about. They're not even going to have some of this stuff, or maybe they won't or whatever, but they freaking do now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And I think that it's crazy that we're getting multiple games being shown. Like we played Metroid at 120 frames per second. That's wild. And guess what? The game is not as pretty as Halo Infinite. Sure. Yeah. You know? Yeah. But who gives a fuck? Nintendo are hitting that point of like we have Nintendo games are now going to technically run great. That's the biggest win ever, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
But I feel like that's the thing is like we've been talking so long about making games like hit the right level. We talk about ballooning budgets of PlayStation and how expensive Spider-Man 2 was and all this shit. And it's like, meanwhile, Nintendo's bumping out. Classic after classic, right? With where we're at now, though, I just feel like that $80, that's overzealous for this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I just feel like it's anti-Nintendo. It's anti the way that they have done things in the past. And maybe that's the price of getting all these fancy acronyms. The HDRs and 4K. They're not acronyms. Yes, they are. Yes, they are. 4K's not, but whatever. Yeah. Do you get what I'm saying?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
That's the one thing that's not a question at all. It's more... My question is the actual why. And I don't know that we'll ever get that answer, but I truly believe that it has more to do with just the financial state of the world than it does Nintendo being like, Mario Kart should be $80. Sure, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
But is it that means to an end of being able to just justify it and then it creates a new standard? I think all of it's included, yeah. We'll see, for sure. But yeah, it's... The fact that Donkey Kong's $70, very bizarre to me.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I don't remember an enchantment in Breath of the Wild, but I don't know. The Swazer says, the problem is that each penny-pinching story from Nintendo has a compounding effect, and its impact on sentiment cannot be seen in isolation. Yeah, and again, I think it's less the money, and it's more just like them, the anger of miscommunication at this point, and then related to money as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Like, when a lot of these stories are... little things here and there where it's like so you're telling me if i want to buy all of this it's going to cost an extravagant amount of money and like it's like the answer is yes yes yeah like that's what it's going to be yeah Scarlet Libre says, I want to thank you guys for having these podcasts get me through a month's worth of overtime at work.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
That was 3 a.m. last night.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
The only thing that I thought was funny is just I was ignorantly unaware or didn't think about the fact that there's Nintendo of other places that don't have development studios. That's my only thing. And then the fact that they had the leaf on it. That is very funny. Objectively. Yeah, come on. Let's laugh, guys.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yes. That means right now it's game.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
We have... Shaggy Sasquatch saying, people keep yelling that every game should be everywhere, yet the only one doing that is Xbox and they're hemorrhaging money. Nintendo keeps exclusive. Have a massive war chest and quality games. I want it very clear that there are so many opinions about all this stuff. I want my opinion clear that I don't think every game should be everywhere.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I think that every publisher and developer and hardware manufacturer needs to have a strategy that they commit to and they check in on and they make sure it's working.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
and that's why i don't think there's a double standard when i in the same breath can say xbox games should be everywhere and playstation games should be exclusive because playstation has that strategy and they've proven they can make it work xbox tried too many strategies at once which i think then created the situation where it's like all right well now your only choice is to be everywhere to sell these games because the games are not selling on xbox alone these are
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
just facts this is not a playstation versus xbox thing this is a playstation has made exclusive games work on its system and until they don't that just is what it is but guess what they're putting their games on pc and they're finding success there we're gonna see that more and more that's a strategy changing that's a good thing do i want it should everyone be able to play every game possible everywhere

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
But hell, there's two on the fucking Xbox. I mean, again, I agree. There's strategy there that I think would make sense, but it's not the same. Casual Vader says, being mad about them charging $80 but still buying it is the pass we're giving them.

Y'all are poking the bear right now. It's just so fucking funny. Again, another thing I want to make clear, because for some reason, people can't listen to the entire conversations that we have here. I don't want Final Fantasy to be exclusive to PlayStation. I want Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth and whatever the next one is to be on Xbox and PC and now Nintendo Switch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25

Toys for Bob would love to work on a new Banjo-Kazooie. This comes from Jordan Midler at BGC. A Super Chat question for you. What would you like Toys for Bob to work on next? Toys for Bob said it would love to work on Banjo. In an interview with content creator Canadian guy Eh, Toys for Bob studio head Paul Yan was asked which developers or IP would the studio love to work on.

Quote, there's so many and that's one of the exciting possibilities of being independent, said Jan. One company we'd like to work with that we're already working with, Team Xbox. They've been a great partner and they also have a very interesting roster of characters that Toys for Bob could have a lot of fun with. The Honey Bear is the first one that comes to mind.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I think we can all agree Banjo's been hibernating long enough, right? The rare owned platformer hasn't seen an installment since Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, which was released on 360 15 years ago. No.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
In 2020, Spencer said that any revivals of classic Rare franchises were up to Rare itself. However, speaking to VGC this summer as part of an extended interview to mark Banjo's 25th anniversary, a group of original Rare team members said they weren't expecting a new game anytime soon. Cool. I mean, this is like, it is fun that they're actually saying it. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Like, does Have Toys for Rob straight up say Banjo's name? It's like, I don't think it necessarily means anything, but it also doesn't not mean something. Tony Hawk 3 and 4 are coming out in a couple months plus. Anything is possible. Activision's IPs, Microsoft's IPs, any way you want to look at it now, there's so many of them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I think all options are on the table, and we're still in that state of chaos, I think, of the acquisitions still not being fully... figured out in terms of who's working on what and who falls under who and all that stuff. But I do think sooner than later that stuff will get ironed out and we're going to get a new

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
It also gets you the daily exclusive Gregway. Every single day we put out a substantial piece of content. talking about your questions, talking about whatever the hell we want to. I think today it might be a Snowbike Mike special. So we'll see how that all goes.

lineup of xbox announcements right that was like now that south of midnight is out you know what i mean like i feel like we're starting to get that the i'd say we're like halfway through this like the last generation of xbox titles and i think we're gonna start to get a whole bunch of new announcements right what do you what do you think they're working on currently toys for bob
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I mean, that's the thing. Spyro 4 would have been my bet. They were working on a Crash 5 and then that got canned at some point. So, I don't know. Like, I'd be... I'm just excited for whatever Toys for Bob's working on. I think that they've earned it at this point of just like... Whether it's a brand new... I think it's a 3D platformer.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I think Crash outsells Banjo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
oh i i know that hurts for people to hear that does hurt i just think it's a numbers game having said that they've done crash recently so i can see them not wanting to over rely on it you know what i mean also like crash rumble i don't think like set the world on fire in any way so it's like you definitely don't want to get back to the point we're at a couple generations ago where like crash games were a fucking joke you know crash as a character was a joke um but yeah i think that uh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
a Crash game would sell better. But I think that in terms of IP value, in terms of, like, Xbox value, Banjo's the move, just because it's, like, goodwill, bringing something back that's exciting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
We'll see. Or it might be Bless. It might be one of us. It's going to be somebody cool. It won't be me. I'll tell you that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
than a crash a crash 4 came out and i'd say more than than less people were like shocked that it was good yeah you know what i mean because i feel like so many people like crash bandicoot sucks and like oh this game's actually good yeah you know whereas like banjo i think it's like oh we're talking about nostalgia goggles these are some of the best games of all time right and
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
following up on that is a much tougher sell.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yeah, and we didn't talk about Spyro, but I also think Spyro has a lot of juice in it as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
See, I don't know, because I think specifically for Toys for Bob, I think Spyro makes the most sense, and Spyro's the one that I think has earned the follow-up sequel from Toys for Bob the most.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I want to say yes. I always, Bob's will correct me here, but I always get it wrong of which of the studios did what with Beenox and all of them, but I'm pretty sure they did. Anyways, the fact that this many 3D platformers are being talked about at All Bless is a good thing. We're living in a very good time for platformers. Amen. Riley says, Toys for Bob and the Conker IP.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I feel like we've got to get Banjo before we get Conker.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yeah, I agree. Totally. We have... VolkDash are talking about the last thing. Why put Helldivers 2 on Xbox to sell five copies? It's a console that doesn't sell games, unfortunately. While that is true for a lot of things, I do think Helldivers is the type of game that could sell on an Xbox.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I think multiplayer shooter games, those should be everywhere. That's just how this goes, man. We need the community. Uh... Memo in the notebook says, y'all, my show last night was fucking lit. Y'all need to go next time. Love you, KF crew. Congrats, man. Kabob says, Spyro 4. I edit some of CGE's vids. He's really cool. Awesome. Nice. Then DMCK says, Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts was my jam.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
By no means the best of the series, but I had so much fun when I was younger messing around with crazy stuff. Toys for Bob making any platformers a win, though. Super good remakes. That's my thing. Anything they do, whether it's Crash, Spyro, Banjo, or a brand new IP, I'm here for it, and I think they're going to nail it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I believe in the next round of games they're going to show. I think it's going to be... I think the dominoes, bless, have been fallen. Yeah. We are in the midst of it. This is good. I think this is like one of the best times for Xbox games. And I think they're going to continue it. Hell yeah. And I think they're going to find success with it. But we'll see.

August 8th. Information was likely planned to be released following PAX East, which will see developer Hangar 13 premiere new gameplay from the game and presumably the release date. August 8th. Cool. Yeah. 2025 is really starting to clear up in terms of what's happening. Pretty damn exciting.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I saw today, and I don't know where this information came from, but I saw someone saying that Kirby and the Forgotten Land with the extra stuff is August, which I think is interesting because I think we all kind of assumed that would be launch. Yeah. I did, at least. But, yes, I could see them staggering out. They're just going to piece me all these things out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
It's kind of crazy, Wes. Like, after all the speculation we've done of, like, Howzinton, they're going to handle it, Switch 1 to Switch 2 stuff. It's like, they're literally just doing what they did with the Wii U to Switch. Yep. I'm just like, hey, every couple months, we're going to release the games again. You're going to buy them. You're going to buy them again, and you're going to like it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25

Pixel and Thing says, Toons of Kingdom and Breath of the Wild upgrades are free for NSO peeps. We're talking about the Breath of the Wild DLC. The Champion's Ballad, I think it was called. Yep. That's the thing that we need to know. Does that come with NSO or not? Story number four, the final story, is Indiana Jones and the Great Circles getting some impressive PS5 Pro enhancements.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
This comes from Darren Bontois at GameSpot. Indiana Jones coming to PS5 on April 17th or 15th as an early access bonus for Premium and Collector's Edition pre-orders. And several of the new features for the game on Sony's platform have been revealed. That includes PS5 Pro features that will distinguish it from other console versions, including Xbox.

Starting in the controller department, the DualSense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers have been tied to several parts of the game, including combat exploration and using Indy's tools.

Bethesda added via the PlayStation blog that the controller's light bar is connected to in-game actions, with some examples being the LED light pulsing yellow if NPCs are searching for you, or red if your health is low.

On the performance side, Bethesda explained that the game will benefit from numerous technical features like frictionless loading, selective installation, and SSD optimization on PS5 and Pro. The game targets a stable 60 frames per second on PS5 consoles, and if you find yourself stumped by any of the puzzles, you can consult the community game help hub. Really?

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And then here's where things get a little crazy. On PS5 Pro, the game will also have impressive visual enhancements. A native 4K60 mode. Wow. And advanced ray tracing. Bethesda says machine games work to ensure that this version of Indiana Jones was optimized for the Pro and was capable of delivering higher and more consistent frame rates. Zam. Wow. That's crazy. Wow.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I'm very excited to see Digital Foundry break all that stuff down. The PS5 Pro, I feel, kind of needs a win in terms of the narrative around it has been pretty bad. How so? The Pistar stuff is seemingly not hitting the way people want it to. But I also just... We're starting to get... the new waves of games that are actually like built knowing about this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Whereas like, I think it was a more retroactive for previous games. So I think that Indiana Jones is probably going to be a good example to look at as like a test bed of what things are going to be like going forward for first and third party games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
It really is. Alex Frazier says the pro version of AC shadows is a huge win. That's I haven't heard much about that game in terms of this. I want to look into that, though, because that is a good example of a new game that came out post PS5 pro release.

Tyler Paprik says, Tim, I don't play many platformers, but I also fell in love with the story and vibe of South of Midnight. What other game should I try? Not Kena. So this is interesting. I wouldn't call South of Midnight a platformer. And I don't know why not Kena, because Kena is the game I would recommend. Maybe they've already played Kena.

Speaking of Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Nintendo Switch 2 Edition won't include the DLC. This comes from Rebecca Valentine at IGN. And bless, let me just tell you, the hits keep coming. They keep coming. They just keep coming.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
the band M2M, the artist M2M. You might know them, bless, from Pokemon, the first movie soundtrack.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
This is an interesting one to talk about. Aren't they all, though?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Everyone's strapping amid continued frustration and confusion from fans about how much the Nintendo Switch 2 and its games are going to cost them, especially in the United States where that seems to be perpetually in flux. We just learned about yet another charge that may not have been obvious to everyone at first.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Zelda Breath of the Wild Switch 2 Edition does not come with the expansion pass, meaning you'll have to pay an additional $20 to play the new DLC on the new system if you don't already own it. That might sound like a no-brainer, but let me explain. Since the announcement of Switch 2's games and their pricing last week, there's been no end to the confusion about how it's all going to work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
What we currently know is that if you already own Breath of the Wild on Switch, you can play that game on your Switch 2, including the DLC, if you've already purchased it. No problem. However, there's also a Nintendo Switch 2 enhanced edition of Breath of the Wild. I want to fucking shoot myself.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
It comes with improved visuals and performance achievements, as well as support for the new Zelda Note service and the Nintendo Switch online app. If you already own Breath of the Wild, you won't get these features automatically, but you can purchase an upgrade pack for $10 to get access to all of that. Are you following everybody? Cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
So that leaves folks who don't own the game yet at all, but might want to purchase it on the Switch 2. They can purchase the Switch 2 Enhanced Edition of Breath of the Wild for $70. $10 more than the game initially retailed at. So basically the price of the original game and the pack. But it won't include the DLC pack, so you won't have access to that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
They put out the banger. Don't say you love me. The lead single from Pokemon, the first movie. Did it make any sense? I don't know. Why? Why was this the single? Was it a banger? Yes. Did I listen to it all the time on cassette and then later on CD? Absolutely. Why did they put out a new version of it in 2025? I don't know. You know. But I'm so happy.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
If you want access to that, it's another $20 on top of that. So $90 for the full Breath of the Wild 2 Nintendo Switch 2 experience. I said something's wrong there. You fucking get it. This is according to a statement from Nintendo who told IGN, quote, the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Nintendo Switch 2 edition does not include the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild expansion as DLC.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
I fucking hate it here. The DLC is available as a separate purchase. So... Go for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Yes. I agree with you. Yeah. Entirely. 100% I agree with you. I also think this is stupid and it should include it. And I don't disagree with that. I don't think this is that big of a deal. I do think this is a perfect example of what I was talking about yesterday. I'm just like, God, Nintendo, you could just not do this. You could just like not have things for people to scrutinize and rip apart.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And like, yeah, is this kind of shitty? Sure. I think it's pretty low on the kind of shitty scale.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And they've done that time and time again over the years. And this is another example of it. They have, I think that this goes back to what we were talking about yesterday of there's always going to be pain points going from generation to generation when you're trying to have features cross the line, when you're trying to have games cross the line, an account cross the line, all of that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And with the NSO and how it allows you to get certain expansion passes, like the Breath of the Wild one wasn't one of those, I don't think, because that was like, so early in the Switch DLC. I feel like they should add it there. That to me is like, that's what should happen is that... See, that would be a smart move.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And it doesn't seem like they're doing that. Instead, they're allowing you to buy this if you want it. You don't need to buy it with the DLC, even that substantial.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
Good for them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And now again, having said all this, I still stand by, it should be there. Like just because we're just like, eh, it's not like we didn't love it that much or whatever. It still should be there. Like, this is silly that we're putting out, like, the definitive edition of Zelda. They're not calling it that, but, like... Yeah, they didn't.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
They didn't. But, I mean, when they're adding fucking Zelda maps and, like, here's an app, here's GPS, it's like... Zelda Notes, put some respect on Zelda Notes. They are desperately trying to like add value to this thing, right? Like I think that Breath of the Wild is probably one of the weirder examples of things that they're adding.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
And even then it's unclear about like, do you even need to pay for this shit? Can you just get the Zelda apps in the app? Throw notes in that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include DLC - Kinda Funny Games Daily 04.11.25
i know where you're going no i know i know you are it's just like it's all confusing these same words over and over it's just like so fucking silly but uh yeah i don't know this is this is one of those ones where yep it's another weird nintendo decision i get it it's still weird and i don't know why they wouldn't just freaking do what people expect them to do because they're nintendo they don't do what people expect them to do

I still think it'll be on this gen, though.

Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'm excited.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
What great quotes there, dude. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Yeah, shout out to Danny and Paris for getting this. This is a big get here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
I used to work with Peter Moore's son. Weird. What? Yeah, he used to work at IGN. Oh, that's cool. Cool stuff. Did you ever talk about the tattoos? We did, actually. Yeah, he was on sales. But anyways, I love this. I think that this is a very just accurate telling of how things are and were, right? Things change. Industries change. Video games make so much more money than they did even back then.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Right. And they're talking about like the GTA rise up era. But I think a perfect example of how big video games are now compared to then is how absolutely ginormous Grand Theft Auto three by city and San Andreas war and how dwarfed they are now by GTA five.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Like we're just talking about different levels, different complete numbers that are just so many more zeros at the end of it that like you can't even fathom that back in the day. And yeah, his point about there was such negativity around video games that the more talking about the competition and just saying, hey, there's multiple options here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
There is a battle here that did kind of keep everybody in the conversation except for Nintendo sometimes. They fought so hard though. They fought so hard. GameCube was amazing. Okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
man uh anyways i i think that that this is a i think very honest uh conversation and i think personally this is an accurate take on on where things were and are and i also don't think that he's saying like oh man i wish it was like that still No, yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
fully agree with that from a different kind of perspective though like xbox makes hardware even if it's not the number one like you look at laptops you look at computer you look at all the stuff it's like they still look at phones like microsoft hardware is not number one in any category that i can think of correct me if i'm wrong there
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
But they still make it because they still have the ability to, and I think it's still worth it for them to be able to have in-store placement and Windows Store or Microsoft Stores, whatever it is. I think at the end of the day, they don't want to fully get out of this stuff. And if it was up to them, I mean, I think it is up to them. They could do that right now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
And the whole gamers would get mad. Oh man, that's so irrelevant. It really is because gamers get mad that they're Xbox fanboys and then Xbox goes away. What's that matter to them?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
But I still think that, like, the goodwill is the Xbox account, right? Like, you still have your live... It's like Steam. Like, Steam doesn't... I mean, they do make hardware. But that's, I think, actually a perfect point of what I'm saying.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
It's like, you have your library, you have your save files, you still get all the backwards compatibility with, like, up-res and all that stuff, like, just on other platforms, whether it's PC or console, if they want to play nice. But...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Roll off the tongue like thug. Oh, that's so funny, man.

Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
THPS is what, like, that is ingrained in my DNA. Really? We always just said pro skater growing up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Here's the thing. I think that I've learned this about myself over time. I am such a game acronym guy. An acronym guy in general when it comes to music groups or Andy, we always have the bit about SLJ, Samuel L. Jackson. It's because I was such a forum kid.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
growing up and so like i was was raised in the era of people talking about video games and you don't hear them talk about it you know what i mean we always talk about people not knowing how to pronounce kakariko village and zelda just because they never said it you just look at it right but for me it was just like when people are talking about tony hogg it'd be thps right so that's always the question yeah
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
I don't think I've ever seen a subreddit fucking meltdown this bad. Bad news happens every day, right? And video game subreddits, when bad news for a video game happens, you get a post, and then you get another post, and then you get another post, and then somebody, the mods come in and be like, stop posting about this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
This one, everyone's just like, no, all the posts, man. Everybody, we need to fucking say some shit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Well, there's so many options on the table, like I was talking about before, that expecting... I mean, I guess if I had to put my chips in on one option, it would have been this. In fact, I thought there even might have been a chance that it was just three because of the difficulty of... taking the career mode of 4 and applying it to the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 system.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
And so what we're getting here, I just want to start off and say I fully understand if people are upset about this and that people are upset about this because they want to remake a 4. The people that love 4, I mean, 4 is, depending on the day, I could say my favorite of the games. Um, having said that though, I've said this a million times. I don't think that it's career mode aged well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Like I think it was very much the prototype to get to underground. Yeah. Um, and underground had a fun story and, uh, like it was engaging and goofy and their actual characters.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
It was a story mode. And this was just, it wasn't a story mode. It was just like a different way to get to the goals. Having said that, full of a lot of charm, there was like loose things like you would set an elephant free in the zoo and then the next level in London, the elephant's there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Fun things would happen, and there's a lot of endearing little bits and pieces here that we're probably going to lose. Do you think so?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
I think that a lot of the stuff is still going to be here. I just think that some of the story charm of it ending up in the next level and all that stuff, you miss that because it is the NPCs giving you – two lines of dialogue that are stupid as hell. But, like, the stupid as hell is part of the charm of it all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

But then on top of that, like, there was, like, there was, like, 190 goals per, or in Tony Hawk 4, which is, like, an insane amount. But a lot of them were just, like, different levels of high score, different levels of combo.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
it's a lot of rinse and repeat things. So I feel like it was kind of inflated in a way, but there was something unique to four, at least up to this point in the franchise was there was pro goals where each one of the pros would have their own goals associated with them that were like a lot more difficult and very curated to the skaters. That's what I'm most afraid of not making the jump here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
And then there was also just the logistics of putting the two minute timer on the Tony Hawk four levels and the goals there was, Not all the goals are going to translate to that because the levels are just too big. Like, 4's levels are so much bigger than 3's. So it's going to be interesting. But I have full faith in this. Like, this actually, to me, is not bad news at all.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
In fact, this is going to be an unpopular opinion. Like, I don't care. This is my favorite franchise. And I'm happy with this because, like, this, to me, I think is the right move for this. They've already proven. And the problem is Iron Galaxy is not Vicarious Vision. So...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
I don't know if they got the stuff when it comes to what I'm about to say here, but Tony Hawk's 1 and 2 remake, they added a bunch of goals to the levels. Tony Hawk 2 had way more goals originally than 1 did in its levels, and they added enough goals to 1 to have parity, and I loved what they added. Loved it. I thought they really made a good use of exploring the levels.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
At the end of the day, I think the goal of... how the goals were set out to be in four of like showing off all the levels, having the triggers for the destruction and all that stuff. I think they're going to just find different ways to make that happen. That feel more modern, feel more snappy. I, I think at the end of the day and God, I might be wrong. And I know I'm being very hopeful here, but,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
I think I'm going to like this better at the end of the day. Wow. I really do think that they know what they're doing here, and I think that they're going to pull it off, and we're getting new levels as well. Anyone saying, oh, this feels more just like Tony Hawk 3 remake with four levels, yeah, I don't think that's a bad thing at all, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
No, I don't. Oh, and on top of all that, if you just go to the very beginning of this trailer, Barrett, this starts off with... this is one of the goals from college that are like a story-based thing of skitching on the professor's car. Like, I think that they did that on purpose to show, Hey, like the fun stuff, like the cool, crazy stuff.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Are we going to be able to play tennis with your skateboard in the college level or all that other stuff that like, let's all be honest. Sucked?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
I don't know. Childhood. Exactly. But Tony Hawk 4 is still there to go back and play if you wanted to. And I know it's not easily accessible. Hey, I wish it was. It is if you're cool. That's true, too. There's a lot of bad...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Skip to underground. It just wouldn't do well. This is the right move.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Like, that's just like, unfortunately, this is the right move. But I also, I fully understand people being mad that this isn't a 4 remake. And it's like, all right, it's not. But what it is, I think, is going to be really, really awesome. It's a reimagining. It is. Yeah. Um, and it's funny too, because like, this isn't the first time they've done things like this and it's worked.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Granted Tom out, never stopped here, but Tony Hawk's underground to added classic mode, which added Tony Hawk's pro skater style goals to the underground two levels. So there was the story mode, but then there was also the classic mode. Fuck. I forgot about the classic mode.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
So maybe that's all this comes down to is I like that the two minute timer and like get everything done and figuring out how to speed run it all. And again, I don't think they're all going to be, I know they're not all going to be the same goals for four. They're going to make new ones that fit the level. This is going to be awesome. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
I mean, that was, I think, like, the biggest...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
letdown of one and two remake for me was there wasn't any there was there was officer dick and there was the skeleton guy like there were secret skaters but uh and it was jack black for some reason but um there weren't wolverine and darth maul and spider-man and things like that well one and two spider-man specifically is what i was looking for but more than that because i understand they didn't have spider-man i was convinced i was going to be able to skate as crash bandicoot

It's Activision. You know what I mean? This is when they were releasing all the games. It made so much sense, and it didn't happen, and I was very let down. But the fact that they are clearly open and able to do this now in a different way, maybe we'll get more, but I would not hope for that. I would definitely not expect it.

Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
And God, I made such a fatal mistake. I transferred my save over and I shouldn't have done that because when I eventually do get this platinum, I'm only going to get one. I'm not going to get two. No taking that back. What is the Platinum? So here's the problem. There's a lot of incredibly difficult challenges.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
The hard get there is one of the hardest gaming accomplishments I've ever made in my life, which is every level has an insane combo that takes you around the entire level. You have to do it with no mods or anything, and I've done it for every freaking level. I got that trophy. The last trophy, though, is you have to get to level 100 with experience points, and the system is broken.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
And I have done... pretty much everything in this video game, time and time again, beat the game with so many different characters, 100%. And I'm level, now, 94 out of 100. All right? Three days ago, I was 92. Whoa. Jesus. Two. I am running out of things to get the experience that fast, though.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Yeah, exactly. Like, right now, I still have a bunch of characters that I haven't 100%ed it with, and, like, that gives you... Some experience points. So I've been doing that, just literally 100%ing it with each character.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
What was it? So I was saying this a couple days ago that there is a... There's a cheese method of you can go to the Philadelphia level, you turn on the game mods, do a couple 900s, grind a couple times, and that kind of like checklists all of the end of run bonus points. So you get, if you do everything right, you get about 300 experience in like 15 seconds.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
And then you can end run, restart run, and just let it load and do it over and over and over. You get 300 experience every time you do that. And per level, I think it's about 30,000 experience. It's going to take a long time, Rog. And I don't want to fucking do that. I really don't want to do that. That doesn't sound fun to me. And it's fucking bullshit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Yeah. I mean, still play. Are you watching things while you're like playing? I like the music and stuff. You know what I mean? It's like there's such an experience to it that I enjoy playing the game so much. I don't enjoy the cheesy bullshit, you know, which is why.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
You can use remote play on your PC, and then you can kind of, like, trick it into doing turbo buttons, and you can, like, have macro controls, and then you essentially just record your...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
your inputs and then just like have it just go for fucking days and then it'll be done and I'm like fuck it I don't care I have no shame with that this is fucking bullshit but there was an update a couple years ago that like nerfed that on PS5 so I'm like well I'm just fucked and then a couple days ago I saw it wasn't a new thing but for the first time because I've been googling my little ass off trying to figure this out and someone's like oh if you do this it'll work and it just didn't work so anyway if anybody has any advice for me

It's going to function way more like a Ubisoft showcase of just like, here's the game and here's the consoles and we're not going to be cagey and weird and you have to go to the PlayStation blog to find out what's coming out there. So yeah, I do imagine that will be a Xbox showcase announcement and tying it with the new DLCs, very smart, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
I feel like that would be the best case scenario for them is, hey, It's on PlayStation now, and there's a reason for Xbox and PC gamers to jump back in.

Let me, let me see if we have any that are relevant to this show. What a statement. You know what I mean? Uh, Volk Dasher says, Tim, just rip the band-aid off. Tell me straight. Does this mean no hope for a Thug remake? I think this is the most hope for a Thug remake.

Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
They're going to be like, if we're doing this, we're doing this. And I've been saying this for years. I think that if 3 and 4 does well, which thinking about how much hype is around 3 and 4 right now, they definitely shot themselves in the foot with this. People are very upset and very, very mad. So I...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
A lot of people are like, I'm not buying this game anymore because of this, and I believe them. But I don't think that's going to get in the way of this game being a success. And also, it's on Game Pass.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
If this game crushes and kills in as good as I hope that it is, I think that it all but guarantees a thug remake. The franchise does well, and it's good. It's amazing. So if they find the wins and the wins are there, I think Thug Remake is happening. I'm excited. And I think that they're going to do it right. I think that it's going to be way more of a reimagining.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Or there's another side to this, too. I could also see them doing a... And there's a lot of questions about Bam Margera. That definitely is a factor that needs to be brought up, even in Thug 1. But there is an option for them to just do a Thug 1 and 2, and it's a remaster. We're not touching the game. Oh, interesting. We are just doing the Star Wars up-res type thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
It would make so many people happy, though. Just... I'm just saying that is an option that if they see the feedback to this and they're like, guys, it ain't worth it.

But then if they're, hey, it's just them, but they look prettier and I can actually play them and they didn't fuck it up. The next story is about fucking Robo Chocolate. We're fine. The thing about Tony Hawk games is, does it fucking feel right? And when they remake the games, they don't feel right. It fucking sucks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
When they make new games, like Project 8, and it doesn't feel right, it fucking sucks. Thug 1 and 2 feel perfect. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 feel perfect. They don't need to do much to Thug 1 for it to still be fucking great. I do think, though, that... Starting from the ground up, telling a new version of the same story is way more ambitious and way more exciting to me.

I mean, I'm going to be real with you. I've never put much thought into it, but if you asked me, hey, spell the website that starts with Dex, I would put a T after that.

It's Dexter, you know, that kind of messes with it. Dextero.

It is going to be a journey we all want to be on. But before we even get to that, we have a game showdown. Before we even get to that, me and you are rocking back-to-back shows. We're going to flip seats.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
What do you think about this? How are you feeling? Here's the thing. The industry is in a very bad place. Having said that, games get canceled, projects get canceled. And on top of that, it's like ideas that aren't formally announced and talked about don't officially exist in the way of being canceled in a way that affects the Gamers. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
This, to me, reads more like that than like a, oh man, Respawn's fucked type situation. I think Respawn are one of the few devs that have the luxury, and I think that they won't always, but they are in a position right now where they've put out multiple projects, they've released and shipped games that do well, both critically and financially, and that allows them to try different things.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
They also have Apex Legends.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
right so i think that uh them trying things and then making the call early on that it's not working is healthy but what's next what are they actually working on and at a certain point if you're not shipping things then they're going to be in the same position as anyone else because i mean do i need to bring up monolith and things like that right that's kind of what happens but i think that this news right now this is more
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
old school, normal game cancellation shit, as opposed to like, oh man, they're fucking idiots at the top.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Like, and I just don't know. This is so behind the scenes kind of how the sausage is made stuff that unless Jason Stryer writes a book about it, we don't really get to hear. I feel like every once in a while you kind of get a little bit more transparency about canceled projects or reworked projects. But back in the day, this happened a lot. Like, I mean, thinking about Capcom specifically, like,
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
All right.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Resident Evil 4 turned into kind of Devil May Cry and also in some ways Onimusha. Like, projects that start as one IP project can turn into others that then turn into major franchises, right? Apex Legends, actually, with Respawn, like, I really wonder... how Titanfall that was until it was called Apex Legends. And it is still in the universe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Like, but I feel like Respawn are not strangers to that kind of concept. But to your point about like the insights, I think are important of combining what Jeff Grubb saying with the actual story here, because the story kind of implies that the Star Wars game that hit the chopping block of January 2024 is different than this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
But really it's kind of just an iteration of the same kind of trying to make the same project work.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
Which to me is further evidence that this isn't that horrible of news. I think this is more just the way that things work with these games, especially when you are talking about IP as big as Star Wars and the kind of needs that have to be hit for that to make that all gel and work for the licensing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
We're doing games daily right now. And then games cast. It's me and you. And what are we going to talk about? Well, we've been playing lightly, but it's Friday, baby. We're bringing that Friday energy. If y'all have any weird fucking video game questions, get ready and super chat them in because me and Roger, we're getting weird with you.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
It's very interesting because from, I forget where this was coming from, but it sounds like Apex Legends is starting to not do as well as it was doing in terms of player base and the money coming in. And with that, you got to do something. You got to shake it up.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
And I do think like adding a two to it, making it a new product, creating a new point of interest for people to come back to is the right move. At some point in time in some industry. With where we're at now, it's crazy to think that we haven't got a live service game, get a 2, and have it work. Destiny is probably the only example.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
But Fortnite clearly just keeps working, so it hasn't had to do that. Overwatch, even, I would say, though, is an example that is more similar to Apex to me. I don't know that an Apex 2 is...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Respawn Cancels Mysterious FPS Game - Kinda Funny Games Daily LIVE 03.07.25
um but yeah we'll see how that all goes i'm excited for respawn though man like they again are the one of the few devs out there that haven't missed so i'm really excited to see what they are working on and whatever that happens i mean you saying like jedi 3 it's like obviously that does feel inevitable but when and you know like it's like i don't think that's going to be any time it's next generation well let's think about this right when fallen order bear i might need your help on this one

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Today's stories include an Indiana Jones and the Great Circle review roundup, Nintendo Switch 2 announcement rumors, because of course there has to be, and a new TMNT game has been announced. We'll have all this and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily. What's up and welcome back to kind of funny games daily for Friday, December 6th, 2024. Of course, I'm your host, Tim Geddes.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Like, we know what machine games can do. giving an Avengers game to Crystal Dynamics. We know what they can do. And what we ended up getting, this game is a service, not really being it for the majority of people of what they expected from an Avengers. And that leaving a sour taste in their mouth so that a year later or whatever, when Guardians came out, a game that I love, it's not perfect.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
It has many flaws, but I love that game. And I feel like people wrote it off because it was an IP game and it felt like, oh, they're just trying to do, they're trying to copy the MCU. They're trying to copy the IP.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
So Indiana Jones, here we are, 2024, pretty interesting because the IP has been less relevant than ever in terms of quality because the last two movies, decades apart, were not well-received. So it is interesting that this generation's understanding of Indiana Jones is the old trilogy being amazing and the ride at Disneyland, And I feel like that's kind of a tough sell.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
You need people that truly give a crap about this franchise to make it come together. And it sounds like Todd Howard and the team believed in this so much that they were like, we want Indy. We are going to do Indy right. And from a story perspective, it sounds like they really did that. And to a lot of Indy fans, it sounds like they did it from a gameplay perspective as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
I'm very, very interested in the community reception for this game, and I'm interested in the stats. How many people buy it? How many people play it on Game Pass? Is this going to move the needle? Because, I mean, no bones about it, looking at these Metacritic scores, this is a win. This is a win for Xbox. This is a win for Game Pass. This is a win for Machine Games, Bethesda.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
That's great. I love that. And besides games, last time you were here, you were talking about starting to take games media a little bit more seriously. How's that all been going for you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Any way you look at it, so far, this seems like it's...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Or you can wait until February and get it on PlayStation. I think that this is a very interesting title that I want to keep close eyes on because we haven't yet seen a well-reviewed Xbox game come out on Game Pass and then in a very, very close turnaround also come out full price on PlayStation. I wonder...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
With the reviews being high and with the interest, we'll see what the over Christmas break kind of talk and chatter is of the people playing it on Game Pass or buying on Xbox. And then, yeah, I'm interested to see how this all shakes out. But hopefully it hits the way that they need it to over at Machine Games. We got a couple super chats here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Dear Six says, I hope that Jeff makes up for the missed hype fiasco during Summer Game Fest and was able to get a Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer from Square, even though that wasn't his fault. I don't know what you're exactly talking about, but I guarantee Jeff would die for a Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer, but that is very out of his control. Kingdom Hearts is its own beast.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Joey Radstone says, Indies less Uncharted and more Deus Ex Immersive Sim. Yeah, seems like it. Alex J. Sandoval says, sorry in advance, Tim. Greg's so good at getting those Ws and the asterisk next to them. Never forget Starfield, Gundoggate, justice for Mike. Yeah, man, I'm sure Greg's going to pull some bullshit. That's his whole thing.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Story number two, Clicklding and I Am Your Beast developer is making a TMNT strategy game. This comes from Maddie Myers at Polygon. Strange Scaffold are unstoppable right now. They are just on a dominant run and good for them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles license is really getting around the video game world these days, having recently resulted in a roguelike with TMNT Splintered Fate, two beat-em-ups, TMNT Arcade Wrath of the Mutants and TMNT Mutants Unleashed, and a mysterious upcoming PS5 game called TMNT The Last Ronin. that I will not believe is real until I actually play it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
What I did not expect to see was a TMNT strategy game from Strange Scaffold, developer of tons of indie favorites here at Polygon, and kind of funny, from Clickleding to I Am Your Beast to El Paso Elsewhere. As the name of TMNT Tactical Takedown implies, it's a turn-based strategy game, yet with the beat-em-up elements that are a classic part of the TMNT adaptations.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
How will those two genres, turn-based tactics and beat-em-up brawling, combine into one fluid experience?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
According to the press release, the usual turtle foursome of Leo, Raph, Donatello, and Michelangelo, all playable, will have their own mini-campaign where you wield unique movesets and utilize super moves to turn the tide against opponents in strategic turn-based battles, perfect for quick play sessions that feel meaningful.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Ninja Turtles Tactical Takedown's fast-paced encounters only take minutes to complete. Eventually, players progress towards a dramatic finale in which the Turtles must unite against evil forces. Strange Scaffold is working with Paramount Game Studios on the project, working with Zalavir Nelson Jr.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
and his team at Strange Scaffold has been an incredible experience, Paramount's SVP of Games and Emerging Media, Doug Rawson said via the press release. From our first conversation, it was clear that Zalavir's vision for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tactical Takedown would exceed our expectations. And you love to hear it. Our boys, Oliver out here, wheeling, dealing and making great games.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
He's making a turtles game. Jerrica. How awesome is that?

Kevin Coelho, I got to take you off the bench here for a second. Me and you, Ninja Turtles, very important to us throughout our lives. Puzzle games, strategy games, hit and go type experiences. This looks like a Kevin Coelho joint.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Yeah. Yeah. Game of the year forever. I can't wait. But real talk, though. Zalavir and Strange Scaffold being in charge of this. Like, I feel like otherwise, if I saw this trailer, it would be like, all right, cool. But knowing it's them, this is going to be good.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Put that on a shirt, for reals. Well, I know very proud of you over here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
this is going to have the sauce that it needs to kind of just take it a level above of not just being, I mean, back to our last conversation, another IP game. There have been like six Ninja Turtle games in the last two years and of varying degrees of quality. And like, I also think Ninja Turtles, that's okay.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Like Turtles can have games that are just fine, that are just kind of button mashy, whatever. And like, that's okay. But I like the idea of there potentially being some really deep strategy games. So, we'll see. We got some super chats here. Alex J. Sandoval saying, really, really nice to see a developer that is building games in a more sustainable way. Earn an IP license of this level.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Up there with Bithels, John Wickhacks, and Tron. Hope to see more like this. That is an excellent point. And I do think that it's very, very cool to see these smaller developers get...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
access to these huge ip that can kind of just even more so cement their place in the industry and uh to see them i mean how many games have strange scaffold put out in the last couple years like it just feels like every three months they're putting something out and uh it hits so it's working and uh in an industry right now where nothing is working it's really really really nice to see that and i i mean zaliver and all of them deserve nothing but props
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
The coolest thing about them is all their games are just radically different experiences.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Yeah. I haven't beat any of the games, but I've put a couple hours into both. I am your beast and El Paso elsewhere. And both of them are. They're phenomenal. It's like they're just fun times. Like, I feel like it's a rewarding experience no matter how much you play it. So definitely, definitely check them out. We're going to get to the rest of our stories after a quick word from our sponsors.

back with story number three here we got a couple rumors courtesy of noble over on blue sky uh noble says according to bill bill coon hazelight the developers of it takes two have their next title split fiction and it launches march 6 2025 on pc and unspecified consoles this is incredibly exciting are you a fan of it takes two and uh a way out
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Yeah. I split fiction. That sounds cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
I'm definitely intrigued by that. It is just a name. I want to know what it is. Who knows? But like, I mean, we won't have to wait long to find out because this is a slam dunk guarantee. It'll be there at the game awards. We've seen Joseph Ferris over there. So many times. And I mean, it takes to one game of the year a couple of years ago.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
So yeah, I feel like it's the perfect place to formally announce this. But yeah, March 6th release date. I love that as well. Kind of getting 2025 a little bit solidified of like locking in dates. Like that's good to see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Yeah, thinking it through, we talked about GTA a couple days ago on the Gamescast because it was the one-year anniversary of the GTA 6 trailer dropping. And it's just wild that we haven't gotten any information on the game since then. But with everything right now, I feel like there's not a chance we see GTA before October of next year.

Who knows? Crazier things have happened, but I feel like that is the earliest people should be realistically expecting it. So kind of that to me says that the beginning half of the year is pretty safe. There is the other X factor, though, that I want to get into right here.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Rumor number two, Nate the Drake has heard that Nintendo is planning to reveal the Switch 2 in January, followed by a blowout event in May and a release in May or June. And according to him, Kirby Planet Robobot is coming to Nintendo Switch in 2025. So... I... lean towards believing this because Nate has been correct in the past about things and the Kirby planet robo bot drop.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
That to me is like, all right, that's just weird enough. And it is so believable that it makes the rest of the news more believable to me. That game coming to switch. I feel like, yeah, that's going to happen. That's one of the horsemen we're here. Have you played planet robo bot? No. Never heard of it. Yeah. It's a great Kirby game. Very different. Okay. Kirby's always trying.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
They're mainly all platformers, but they always have some weird gimmick to them. And Planet Robobot is one of the, I would say, standout Kirby games of the last couple of them. If I remember correctly, that's the 3DS one. He has 3DS.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Yeah, and this is a good Kirby game. I don't think it's on the level of Forgotten Land, but this is one of the good ones for sure. So it coming to Switch, I think, makes sense. I do... feel like we are running out of the Wii U ports to make it over to the Switch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
And I think it's good that we're getting a couple 3DS ports with, like, Luigi's Mansion 2 and now this, because 3DS is one of those systems that I feel like could easily be forgotten and games just get stuck there forever. And if you don't actually have the 3DS hardware in the games, like, you're not able to play them, especially with the 3DS store being down now. So...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
I do think that it's good that some of the highlight titles get ported over to the Switch. So yeah, this very much a rumor. Who the hell knows? But I'm hopeful for it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Today, after Games Daily, you're going to get a Gamescast that is going to be us discussing our thoughts on Marvel Rivals so far. far. The servers went on not too long ago, so it's not going to be a full review, uh, but the boys have been playing. So we are going to get some thoughts. And then after that, uh, their experience will continue because the stream is Marvel rivals.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
think a lot of people do yeah okay it's a big okay cool finally yeah i also think it's inevitable i'm shocked it's taking this long like how yeah what the heck i guarantee the game's done i guarantee when waker and twilight princess are just sitting at nintendo and they're just trying to strategize when's the right time to put it out i'm assuming i know that the switch 2 is going to be backwards compatible so i'm like not really concerned at this point about
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
holding it off for the next console or whatever. Just give us Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. But they're going to. I really feel like there's no chance that we don't get those games. It's just a matter of when. And it's frustrating that we're waiting for these old ass games. But hey, that's Nintendo, man. But what do you think about the timeline being presented here?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Obviously, this could totally just be pulled out of Nate's ass. It's not like this is rocket science dates to put together. But a reveal in January, blowout event in May, release in May or June. Anything stand out about that to you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Yes, for sure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Yeah, definitely makes sense. I think there's a lot of wiggle room here for, like, slight movement. But, like, January feels right to me for some level of information for the Switch 2. Like, I was pretty steadfast on it being October this year that we were first going to get any information.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
formal announcement of it um and that would have just been in line with how they did switch one which was october got the first commercial january the blowout march the actual release i thought they were going to follow that so the fact that they didn't and planet robobot being talked about here like we know we're getting donkey kong uh hd country returns hd in january a couple other titles as well um

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
I can see Planet Robobot being in that February, March potentially. But a January reveal to some extent of the Switch 2 makes sense. I don't know at this point if they're going to do a commercial and then a blowout event. It might just be the blowout event because the Switch had so much...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
mystery around it and it was such a new concept that they had to kind of introduce to people of hey this is a console that you take on the go they are one in the same um and how unbelievable that was at the time um whereas i fingers crossed don't expect that nintendo is going to come out and have to explain why their new console is a refrigerator or some shit like just give us the switch too you know what i mean yeah we we know what to expect you know um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
From all that we've heard so far, and so far everything has been rumors, but there has been a lot of leaked accessories and leaked chipsets and leaked just kind of like form factor things. It seems like the Switch 2 is going to be a 7-inch screen. LCD or LED, not OLED. And it'll be the only SKU that there is at launch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
We got to imagine Switch 2 Lite at some point, Switch 2 OLED at some point, double, triple dip from Nintendo, you know, get them hardware sales up and the whole family gets one, all that stuff. I imagine that will all happen. Having said that, me being as hopeful and optimistic as I am and a tech fan and a Nintendo fan and just a tortured soul when it comes to this. Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
I'm really, really hoping that there's two SKUs. I really hope that it launches and that OLED's an option. I don't think there's going to be different screen sizes at launch. I think screen sizes, like, it's going to be just that standard 7. I think they're going to want it to be a very premium experience. And I do think that, you know, I was saying earlier that Nintendo, just make a Switch 2.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Like, we don't need some new gimmick. I do think that the thing they need to sell people on of the Switch 2 is, hey... This one's actually powerful. This one can play Elton ring. This one can do the things that you never thought it could do. And we are, we are in the game with the big boys closer than we've been since the game cube in 2001. I think that messaging is very important for them.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
And I think that, yeah, them putting that on a sexy big screen because seven inches to me is kind of like, God. Yeah. Seven inches is kind of like as high as you want to get before it starts getting uncomfortable. God damn. I mean it the right way. Okay.

lady now i love that there's probably a catchier name but i'm just my eyes are broke it's all i want to play on is an oled screen i am right there with you yeah it's going to be a major bummer and it so far seems like like it's going to be the case that it's not oled but there's something about that that just feels wrong to me and i know people are going to argue like oh they can always put out the oled edition later and get people to upgrade like i don't think that that's
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
I mean, I know that I'm crazy here. I know, but I still believe that we're getting NOLA day one. But I've been wrong many times, and this is definitely a hope more than an expectation. But I will say, I was thinking about this earlier today because I wasn't sure if our Gamescast topic, if the boys were going to have played enough Marvel to sustain the whole show, but it sounds like they have.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
But I was thinking of topics we could come up with, and I was going to ask, like, What is the gaming thing that you're most excited for? Period. Whether it's this year or next year. And it could be a game itself or an announcement or a console or something. Because for me, it's the Switch 2 reveal event. I can't freaking wait for this, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
That's probably like top of the list. Do you think we get that next year? The announcement of it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Yeah, I... My gut right now tells me, put this on the books, everybody. There will be a September PlayStation showcase that starts giving us, thank you, Kevin, starts giving us some answers. September, everybody. I'll put it in the calendar. Story number four, Ubisoft's reportedly considering how to structure a Tencent buyout. This comes from Wesley Inpool at IGN.

If you're into gas leak episodes of kind of funny where we just went off the rails, we're talking about this beautiful piece of art, but the places Nick goes is, I'm not sure you want to go, but if you're a little curious, check it out, youtube.com slash kindoffunnygames. But whatever, enough about that. For now, let's begin with what is and forever will be the Roper Report.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Ubisoft's share price skyrocketed today amid intensifying rumors that Chinese megacorp Tencent is engaged in buyout talks. I'm very happy that Greg Miller is not here today, so he doesn't need to come out here and do his stupid-ass fake money talks.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
The company behind Assassin's Creed Far Cry and Rainbow Six Siege has suffered a torrid year with multiple studio closures, mass layoffs, and games shut down. The company's next big game, Assassin's Creed Shadows, was delayed into 2025 and Star Wars Outlaws failed to meet sales expectations. According to, uh, routers? Reuters? Reuters.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Ubisoft shareholders are considering how to structure a possible buyout of the French company without reducing the founding GMO family's control. The GMO family is the largest shareholder in Ubisoft and is reportedly in talks with Tencent and other investors as it seeks funding a management buyout.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Tencent is the second largest shareholder in Ubisoft with 10%, and according to Reuters, Reuters has yet to decide whether to fund the buyout. Reuters. Reuters said Tencent's indecision is partly because it has asked for a greater say on future board decisions, including cash flow distribution in return for financing the deal.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Apparently, the Guillemot family has yet to agree to those terms, but Tencent's willing to wait for them to come around. Tencent declined to comment when contacted by Reuters, with the Gimau family rep failing to respond. But a Ubisoft spokesperson did comment, saying, We remain committed to making decisions in the best interest of all of our stakeholders.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
In this context, as we have already indicated, the company is also reviewing all of its strategic options.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Reuters? Yeah, I believe so. There we go.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
That's the speculation station.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
God, okay. Yeah, we just got to get in there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
There we go.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Thank you. Thank you. Every Ubisoft story needs the money song, everybody. Jerrica, Ubisoft, get it acquired. Tencent, get it involved. Any thoughts?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
It kind of sounds like worst case scenario. Yeah. Like this, this does with, with how bizarre Ubisoft has been the last couple of years and the decisions made and the quality of output and the public reception to all of it. I am not filled with hope from this story. I do think that this is a where there's smoke, there's fire type situation. We've seen Ubisoft get courted slash...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
It's time for some news. We have six stories today.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
forcefully attempted to be taken over multiple times and um they've been able to kind of uh fight that off that was a different time though where ubisoft was making different levels of money different levels of critical quality reception games um so where they're at now i really do think that we're going to see updates to this story i i do think that uh
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
acquisition to some extent is inevitable for Ubisoft. So I think we just got to kind of figure out what, what is the best case scenario here? Because I do think that clearly the Gamow family is a problem when it comes to Ubisoft for many reasons. So I don't know.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
But before that, Six, I have a story number zero of something that I just saw that I just want to bring up. We don't need to talk too long about it because I think that next week we're doing our full-on Game Awards predictions episode. But Kev, can you bring up the link that I put up there?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Yeah, and I'm sure we're going to continue to talk about Ubisoft a lot, but I think that we've been talking about doing a Ubisoft-focused Gamescast of really talking about what's going on. Because for a long time now, Bless and I specifically on Games Daily have been just talking about what is Ubisoft? When you look at... what games they try to make and why.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
It's crazy because we are talking about such a uniquely positioned publisher and suite of developers because Ubisoft is truly worldwide. They have developers and teams around the world. They have IP out the wazoo. There are just so many giant brands that they have.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
and to look at where they're at right now, they had the, I kept saying this, like, the biggest one-two punch of how big can IP get for Ubisoft with Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin's Creed Shadows. They're finally due in Japan, and we saw how Outlaws was received, and shadows got delayed, which doesn't fill me with hope, but we'll see.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
And if those don't hit the things that were, should have been the surefire hits, I don't know what's going to work. And this is coming from somebody who's game of the year, Prince of Persia, the lost crown, a Ubisoft game. But guess what? We're not getting more of that. The team's gone. Team's done.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
And it gets even more dire when you look at what Ubisoft actually is putting out. And it's things like X Defiant, which we look at and we're like, oh, cool. Well, you better be monetizing that because the interest doesn't seem to be there, but hopefully it's making you the money it needs to. And oh, it's not. They're close to Ubisoft. San Francisco is just gone. It's like, all right, cool.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Andy Robinson over at VGC, a man that I trust very, very much, says that he is expecting a very big Game Awards next week. Fire up the hype train. And then if you scroll down, Kev, someone replies... Is that a guess or a hint?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Well, I guess like in case of emergencies, Splinter Cell remake, let's have those three green lights go on for the 10th time. Will we ever get that game? I don't freaking know. Yeah, it's upsetting, man.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
I don't know. Fuji in the chat says Skull and Bones legally had to come out. Story number five, Riot is making a League of Legends card game. Uh-oh, Mike. This comes from Andrew Webster at The Verge. The League of Legends universe is expanding once again, this time with a physical card game. Riot Games announced today that it's developing a TCG set in the League universe.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
The game's currently known as Project K, and Riot says it's working with an unnamed partner in China to release the game there in early 2025. As for a global release, Riot says, "'We're taking our time to find the right publishing partners.'" There aren't a lot of details available about Project K. According to Riot, the game has unique gameplay and is best when played with friends and in person.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
And development is being led by director Dave Guskin and producer Chengren Chai. Are you into the Riotverse at all? Oh, you're a big arcane girl. Oh, yes. Yeah. Arcane aside, you into the games at all?

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Hell yeah. Very cool. Oh, man. Riot getting into the TCG world. That's pretty big news, Jerika. Yeah. But if I want to know about something small, where would I look?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
And he said, definitely not a guess, implying he knows some things that are going to be announced slash revealed at the Game Awards, and he's willing to hype it up, which, you know, that's putting a bullet on your back if this doesn't come through. Jerrica, what do you think about this?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Exactly. And Toria, the last song, is coming to Xbox Series on December 12th. It's already on PS5 and PC. Mai is coming to Street Fighter VI in early 2025. Mai. Am I the character from Guilty Gear? Chat, let me know. Dynasty Warriors Origins demo surpassed 1 million downloads. Mike, get over here real quick. Let's get the chat hyped about Dynasty Warriors Origins.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Dynasty Warriors. Keep an eye out for it, everybody. The chat saying Mai is from King of Fighters and all that. That makes a lot more sense. This is the character I was thinking about, but I misgamed her. Citizen Sleeper 2 launches on January 31st on Everything. It's also Game Pass Day 1. Moonlighter 2 The Endless Vault launches 2025 on Xbox Series, PS5, and PC. Tell me a little bit about that.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
And then Anton Blast is coming to Nintendo Switch on December 13th. I've been talking this game up the last couple days, and I can't give it enough praise. Every night I've been just playing like 30 minutes to an hour, and it's so much fun. It's on Steam right now, but December 13th, you'll be able to get it on Switch. Highly recommend it if you're into fun 2D platformers. Check that out.

That's it for WeNews. A couple... super chats to get through here. Justin S says, Tim, could you do a watch along of the Getty's cut of the Super Mario Brothers movie? Hashtag release the Getty's cut. I feel like Nintendo would crucify me. That sounds like very, very, very not legal. But I will tell you, it's pretty simple to get the movie and to get the soundtrack and to open premieres.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
And to add it to your liking. You know what I mean? That's all that I'm saying. That's all that I'm saying. Add it to your liking. It fits perfectly. That's all I'm saying, Jarek. If you don't know what I'm talking about here, the Super Mario Brothers movie.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
The Super Mario Brothers movie had a lot of amazing Nintendo Mario orchestrated music arranged by Brian Tyler, okay? A man that we respect. A man that made the Tokyo Drift soundtrack, okay? This dude gets fucking music, okay? But for some reason, in like five or six scenes in the Mario movie that decided, you know what would fit here? Thunderstruck. Or Beastie Boys.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Or take on me of all goddamn things while we're riding into Donkey Kong Country for the first time on some Mario Karts.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
a weird vibe why'd they do that it makes no sense especially when when you get that brian tyler score and you listen to it and you listen to it in order and you go to the parts where those licensed songs are playing they have scores they have proper scores that are amazing that are remixes of nintendo songs we know and care about and if you take them and you put them on that part of the movie it syncs up perfectly shut up perfectly wow okay yeah

There's no official plan to do it, but there has been conversations of seeing if it's possible given time restraints and schedules. That is all I can confirm at this point in time. But don't expect it. Don't expect it. But I will just real quick ask you, did you like season two?

That would be, that's not, that would be, I mean, it's possible. It's incredibly unlikely. Yeah. I don't, I don't think that now is the time for that. The game awards, but that would be nuts.

How you doing?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
I would hope so. I mean, look, the Game Awards are all over the place in terms of how hyped they can be. Sometimes they're not that, and sometimes they are. And I feel like every year has at least something that's an interesting announcement.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
So yeah, I'm with you that I feel this year going into it, there's not anything that I'm like, oh, there's a really good chance this thing I'm excited for is going to be there. But... Right here is my favorite place to be. Me not expecting much, but other people getting me hyped for expecting a lot.

It has a Metacritic of 86 and an Open Critic of 86 as well, which, let me tell y'all, feels really damn good for you, boy, because I had this on my Fantasy Critic, and it puts me... In first fucking place. Will I hold on to it? We are running out of time. I'm pretty sure if I'm understanding this correctly, the only thing standing in my way is Greg Miller with his grasp around Marvel rivals.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
A grasp that is contentious, I will say, for how Mike had to drop it and Greg got it. But you know what? I'm not going to be a sore loser, but I'm definitely not going to be a sore winner when I destroy Greg Miller. This is happening. He needs Marvel Rivals to get at least, I think, a 74, which it's probably going to get. But we got to hope. We got to dream, everybody.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Luke Reilly at IGN gave it a 9 out of 10, saying it's an irresistible and immersive global treasure hunt and far and away the best indie story this century. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle doesn't belong in a museum. It belongs in your hard drive where you can play the heck out of it. Catherine Castle at Eurogamer gave it a 5 out of 5. Smart, fun, and so very Indiana Jones.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
The Great Circle is a stealth action tour de force that marks a bold new era for machine games. Richard Wakeling at GameSpot gave it a 9 out of 10. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle takes an unexpectedly stealthy and freeform approach, making for a faithful, rip-roaring adventure in which you truly embody the famous archaeologist. Daniel Dwyer tweets out Indiana Jones.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
The Great Circle is my favorite game of 2024, and I'm absolutely shocked by this. The Forgotten City with machine game storytelling, sometimes dishonored, often hit man, but really a whole new blend of first person experience. And then for kind of funny, we had our review where Greg gave it a six point five out of ten, saying that it is OK.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
And Paris giving it a seven out of ten, which is good on the kind of funny scale.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Yeah.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
What do you think that is in terms of, like, what type of experience is with that do you like better first-person versus third-person? Like, what do you think is the determining factor there?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Kind of, yeah. So you have your whip, and then there's guns as well, but you can... The game mainly focuses on just picking up a bunch of random things that are in your vicinity and using them as weapons, like...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
like classic video game stuff specifically indie stuff of like wine bottles or just like broomsticks or whatever's around the room to like kind of stealth around hit people with throw it at them whatever it is um and then yeah there's like abilities that you're upgrading throughout the game but yeah i would say in my limited two and a half hour experience with it it way more focuses on the melee side of combat um and i guess the whip as well but then the the shooting stuff
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
While there doesn't seem to be like the bulk of the experience and talking to Paris and Greg seems like that's throughout the entire game, how, how it kind of goes as well. I'm really happy to see so many people vibing with it.

Like, I feel like the, the story from Greg and Paris's review that I highly recommend y'all check out our games cast yesterday to kind of hear them back up the scores that they gave for it. It really does sound like it hits as an Indiana Jones story. And the performances from Troy and the others are great. And they feel authentic.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
And coming from Paris, who is a big Indiana Jones fan, they kind of nail what he was looking for as somebody that was let down by Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and whatever the most recent one was.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Yeah. And from a gameplay perspective, though, it sounds like Greg was pretty let down for how much it focuses on stealth for how not great the stealth was or how... He feels like there's other examples of games that do what this game's trying to do just a lot better.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
And I think that that's kind of the biggest issue is that from even a story perspective, but I think this is where the gameplay kind of lulls for them is the pacing. And Indiana Jones movies are so impeccably paced as an experience that playing through the game, once you get to these open areas, the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
how open zone they are kind of feels like it's getting in the way of what's actually good about the game um but again looking at it it's like this game is 86 on both meta and open critic like that is showing that it's resonating with people both indie fans and uh not both sound like they're really into it i saw gene park yesterday talking saying explicitly he is not an indiana jones fan like he does not like indiana jones but he's having a pretty good time with this game so um
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
It being on Game Pass 2, I think, is a huge win. It's a great entry point for people to jump in and see maybe it is for them, you know? So I think it's great. But I also think that this is just such a good example of, like, hey, man, reviews are subjective. Like, Greg believes what he's saying. He's not saying stuff to, like, kick any hornet's nest or anything.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Like, he believes this, and he backed it up with an hour of conversation, as did Paris. And also, 7, not a bad score. That's good. So...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Are you feeling Game of the Year for yourself vibes? Are you not sure yet?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
And I do think the conversation around IP-based games is very interesting right now. And I think it's been interesting in different ways and waves over the last 30 years where licensed games meant something very negative back in the PS2 era of games. And if something came out that was a win, that was a huge surprise. And I feel like even thinking about James Bond, which was probably during the...
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
It's there.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
90s era of games like the shining star example of hey look a popular ip can also be a good video game having said that there were more bad james bond games than there were good james bond games and star wars i think is another similar thing like some amazing star wars games then just a lot of whatever star wars games right batman arkham kind of changed that uh in the 360 ps3 generation from the superhero side for sure uh creating classic games at this point
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Gets Incredible Reviews - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.06.24
Obviously, we see things like Spider-Man. But then we get things like Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy, which I think are two examples of very popular IP coming out at, quote-unquote, the right time with those two brands being in the zeitgeist of mainstream media. But Avengers, not kind of hitting the way it has to, whether it is what you're talking about of give indie to machine games.

We've had so many conversations over the decade about Grand Theft Auto 6, but one that we've had a lot recently is this being the first new GTA in over 10 years, but first new GTA Online experience in over 10 years. Right now, Grubb, do you think that GTA Online and GTA 6, whatever forms that look like, do those launch together on May 26th?

Or is it just the single-player side or whatever and the online comes a couple months later or something?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
I think it's $100, and I think that it's just the single player at launch. And with a clear date for the online, we'll know what's happening. I don't think it'll be like a nebulous thing, but I think it'll be part of the plan and the rollout to let people live in this giant world for a while offline before doing that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
Yeah, that is very funny. We got a bunch of super chats here. Jeff Bull Jr. says, I'm not surprised at all. Luke Jones says, I know we've talked about how industry analysts and even other developers were hoping the GTA 6 revitalizes the console market. Do you think this may affect any of that? Also, yay for no crunch.

GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
Yeah, I mean, hey, it is awesome that the crunch stuff at least seems to be a focus or goal. That's better than it not being one. Again, who knows how true that's going to remain or how true it might be, but it's good that They're aware, and they're trying to be better about that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
But yeah, in terms of revitalizing the console market, I feel like because of how big GTA 6 is, yes, it's going to have a major impact on console sales and console playtime. And I do think that there's a ton of people that maybe aren't playing games every single day, but they're going to buy this game and play it.

I won't, but I also know that knowing a date and them getting more time should make a better game. I'm kind of there too.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
I've been saying this for a while, but the PS5 Pro just hasn't yet really had the games that were made after it's been released to take advantage of it. And I think we're already starting to see that now with Assassin's Creed Shadows and other games where they are released.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
great on ps5 pro and i think ghost is going to clearly be the the first giant example of a sony uh first party game taking advantage of it all so i feel like the the gta like ps5 pro doesn't need gta6 i think that uh ps5 pro just coming out at the end of last year when sony didn't have a giant game to coincide with it made it seem like it was shitty

Needless to say, I will no longer be contributing to Giant Bomb, Mike Minotti wrote in a separate post. Nothing but love to all the wonderful people from there and GameSpot.

A spokesperson for fandom told Kotaku in an email, we understand this programming pause isn't ideal for our audience, but it's part of a strategic reset and realignment of our media brands. We have some creative ideas for the future of Giant Bomb that we're actively working on that we'll be able to communicate more about soon.

GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
And then since we were live, Giant Bomb issued a statement saying, we understand your frustration and appreciate your patience. We're actively exploring creative directions for the future of Giant Bomb and and look forward to sharing more with you soon.

GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
Yeah, I mean, right before we went live, I was telling you this, but I'm going to say it again, even though I've told you many times in the past. I am so impressed with you, and I feel like the last couple years, you went from being a cool guy that knows video games and is great at talking about them on the internet to a true leader in the space.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25

And the way that you've covered news, the way that you've... just covered video games in general, I think is very inspiring. And I think that I'm not alone in saying that. I know that your word means more than most people's because you know what you're talking about and you make it very clear when you're given an opinion and when you're given a fact.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

I'm making my way through it, and I am at every twist and turn just enthralled. I haven't felt this way about a new video game world in such a long time. I'm a big franchise guy. I love sequels.

Like, there's something about these characters and the gameplay and just the story, too, about the game being made. Like, the team and their passion and the price point. Like, they just kind of nailed everything about this game. And I'm so damn impressed by that. And going back to the French stuff, I love the style of this game.

The last couple of years of how well organized it was when it's an impossible thing to herd the amount of cats that you had to, but you pulled something special off you and the team, of course, but you specifically, man, like I I've always, always like been incredibly impressed by you. And, Because of all that, I'm not worried about you whatsoever. You're going to be fine.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
Yep, I totally agree. And there's something about it, too, that it's all of the elements lined up, but it all comes back to... This is a game made by people for people. Those people are specific. They knew who their audience was, and they made something for those people, and that works. Surprise, surprise.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
It's so cool to see that they pulled it off because even my best friend who plays a lot of video games, but usually it's just... Spider-Man 2, The Last of Us, or whatever. And otherwise, he's more old school of a gamer. We grew up playing Final Fantasies together, like 7 and 10 and all that. And I got a couple hours into this game, and I was like, he needs to play this.

And I literally just sent him a code, and I was like... Just boot it up. I don't want to tell you anything. You're going to love this. And he's farther than I am now. Like, he's been addicted the last couple days. And I'm like, they got it. You know what I mean? And he's not somebody that is necessarily willing to just try a random game he knows nothing about.

I do think this game is going to hit like that for, for people. Story number four. Did PlayStation fire Sackboy? We have to get to the bottom of this. This comes from Vicky Blake at IGN. He works for me now. PlayStation seemingly pulling its one-time poster child Sackboy from its marketing materials.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
As noted by RealRadic, Sackboy was notably absent from the PlayStation Productions banner at the start of the Until Dawn movie, although most of his peers like Astro Bot, Nathan Drake, and Aloy still have a place. I can confirm after seeing Until Dawn that Sackboy's not in the PlayStation Productions intro anymore. I don't like this era of Sackboy erasure.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
Once upon a time, Sackboy was the golden child of PlayStation, becoming a mascot for the brand in much the same way Sonic is associated with Sega and Mario represents Nintendo. I wouldn't go that far, but I appreciate the sentiment. Now, however, Sackboy hasn't starred in a PlayStation game since 2020's Delightful. Sackboy, a big adventure. I would agree that that game was delightful.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
He's not Sackboy anymore. He's Sadboy now, teased another. While others lamented, why can't Astro Bot and Sackboy coexist? Others had a more measured reaction. Sackboy being erased from the PlayStation Productions logo does not mean anything. DreamWorks also swaps out characters in their logo montage sometimes, said another. Jeff, what do you think?

In fact, I'm very proud of you. Obviously, I don't know every detail of how things went down, but sometimes I'm worried about people when they're in these situations. You are not somebody I'm worried about whatsoever.

Yeah. I know this is probably not going to be a popular opinion, but good fucking riddance. I don't give a shit about this little sack. Never liked him. Never will enjoy a little big planet. Really enjoyed the big adventure game. But at the end of the day, nah, nah, nah, nah.

GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
I just think the design is generic for Astro Bot. It's a separate thing when it comes to... No, the Sack Boy, it's just like, I don't know. I just don't like him. Doesn't do anything for you? I don't trust him. Yeah. Okay. I wouldn't let him around my wife. Like, it's a whole thing, man. Like... Yeah, you're right.

Again, Sackboy, Xbox 360 design. Nope. I'll get this thing. Fun fact, this would have cost you $23 instead of $29 if Trump's tariffs weren't making the world a worse place. I figured. I didn't know it was explicit. Man, that's wild. $29 for an ornament. I guess it does have light and sounds.

And that is it for WE News. Looking at your wrong here, AK writes in and saying, according to Wikipedia, Michelangelo's commission for the Sistine Chapel was 3,000 ducats, which comes out to about $600,000 in $21. So yeah, GTA 6, a lot more expensive. A lot more expensive.

I'm looking at a couple of the super chats here. Sort by first name says, went to PlayStation the concert in London on Sunday, and they didn't even do a farewell to Sackboy. I'm completely okay with that. Dude, I'm so excited for this PlayStation concert because I'm a big video game music guy, Jeff, and I love going to all these orchestra things. I've been to literally dozens of them.

And the PlayStation 1, I've been super hyped for, but they just debuted it a couple weeks ago, and word on the street is it's bad.

GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
Apparently, a lot of the instrumentation is pre-recorded. And they just have a very minimal orchestra on stage. And all the choir and stuff is all pre-recorded. And it's like, guys, that's... That's not great. And I was watching a bunch of footage of it on YouTube and it looks cool, but it just seems like they're putting production in the wrong places. And I don't know something about it.

GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
I'm like that. I hope they get shit figured out by the time they come over to America next year.

What a thought. So, yeah, that sounds sounds like a bummer. But sort by first name. Let me know if you enjoyed it, even though it didn't have any sack for. Alex says, birthday tux. Happy birthday. Special thanks to OM Jesus and the entire Odd Valley Discord crew for giving me a KF social space to cry in, to laugh in, and to call home. Hell yeah. What a nice thing to say.

Yeah. Um, and then we had a couple I wanted to get to. Oh, CJ splits on says grub. Please give us Sony fans some hope showcase state of play. What about a surprise game announcement this year? Do you know anything? You got any stuff to talk about?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
Yeah. I mean, it's interesting to look at. I think PlayStation's in a weird spot right now because we've waited so long for answers of, like, what's happening, what's coming out. And now we're in a weird place where we know Death Stranding 2 and the date is imminent. And then now we know Ghost and the date is... something that we're building towards. So I, I kind of feel like a marathon as well.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
I, I don't really know. I wouldn't necessarily expect a PlayStation showcase in a couple of weeks. That's going to blow our minds because I just don't think that timing wise, like we're set up for that. Like if, if we didn't know that ghost was in October, I'd be like, maybe they got a big fall game, but we know the big fall game.

Well, it might be the perfect time to travel because they'll have the Switch 2. You know what I mean?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
There you go. That makes it real good. Yeah, no, real talk. That is interesting. But I just feel like in terms of showcases this June for Summer Game Fest season, like we have Keeley's kickoff event. Xbox already called their shot. They're doing a showcase and then following it up with the Outer Worlds 2 thing, right? That's right. So it's like that, I think... It's going to be interesting.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
I feel like we're probably going to get the most multi-console news from Xbox. I think we're going to get a lot of games announced at the Xbox showcase that are coming to Switch 2 and PS5 and, of course, Xbox and PC.

GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
yeah i mean i i at this point would be just because i i'm so fascinated by donkey kong's july release date that feels like such a bizarre choice for them where it's obviously launch window but having mario kart at launch and then a month later putting out this game that we still don't know what team's working on it but like all signs point to the odyssey team right it's the odyssey team maybe they're maybe they're more partner with an external studio than we realize but it's
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
And it being not $80 and coming out just a month after the console, something about that to me feels off. And Nintendo's weird. They've done things differently always. But then looking past that, it's like we have Metroid Prime 4. I would assume that's going to be their big push ballgame because we still don't have a date for that.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
I just don't know what space we have for a big Nintendo game later in the year. Cause like we also have all the third parties and all like we have a call of duty, right? That's going to be on the switch.

I think that Zelda game is 2026. I could be wrong.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
I think so. And yeah, Kirby with the star-crossed world or whatever, that still doesn't have a date either. I think we pretty much know. I don't think we're going to get any big Nintendo games. I don't think we're going to get a 3D Mario, Animal Crossing, any of that stuff. Man, exciting times, though.

And then, yeah, Air Riders, which I don't know if that's going to be this year either. I feel like that one was supposed to be this year. Yeah? Barrett's saying he thinks it was slated for this year. All right. Oh, it is listed 2012. Interesting. All right, then. Yeah, that's going to be a small little fun thing, though. Nothing too crazy. Jeff, thank you so much for joining us today.

We have five stories.

GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
Gotta start with the big one. Story number one, Rockstar officially delays Grand Theft Auto 6 to May 6th, or May 26th, 2026. Superchat in, let me know. Are you surprised? Are you heartbroken? I need to know. Hello, everyone. Grand Theft Auto 6 is now set to release on May 26, 2026. We're very sorry that this is later than you expected.

The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game. With every game we've released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto 6 is no exception.

We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality that you expect and deserve. We look forward to sharing more information with you soon. Sincerely, Rockstar Games. There's a little bit more context here. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier on Blue Sky said, Nobody I've talked to at Rockstar has believed fall 2025 was a real window for a very long time now.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
Too much work, not enough time, and what appears to be a real desire for management to avoid brutal crunch. GTA 6 slipping to 2026 has seemed inevitable for months, if not longer. Wait, crunch you say, Jason? Someone on Blue Sky said they don't believe Rockstar is trying to avoid crunch.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
Jason responded, skepticism is always healthy, but I've been keeping tabs on this for years since my big 2018 story about Red Dead 2's crunch. They certainly haven't eliminated all over time, but everyone I've talked to at Rockstar says it's night and day from previous projects. If that changes, I'll report on it.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast

Circona's Matt Piscitella on Blue Sky says, GTA 6 getting pushed does not mean that all of a sudden there'll be a whole bunch of dollars available for other games in 2025. It just means that a bunch of the dollars that would have been spent on gaming this year have disappeared. We'll get to more details about stock and stuff like that, but Jeff, I want to hear your thoughts on this.

Are you surprised?

Joshua Mills Super Chat saying, I say 50-50 chance it gets delayed again to fall 2026. Would that surprise you?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
Totally. Now, May 26th, we got to talk about that release date. That is, I mean, that must be the furthest out release date announcement for a video game we've ever had. I feel like previously Starfield would have been the other one where they really called their shot out early, but a full over a year away and we actually have a date.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
And what's interesting about that date is it is not even in the fiscal year. So they're kind of very much putting a message out there to all the stockholders, right?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
I wonder, so that being like them calling the actual date, like, and obviously that could change and it being pushed to fall next year would not surprise anybody, but them calling that date out.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
I wonder if that is them trying to play nice with the industry to an extent, because we have had so many conversations of the fear that everyone's had about where they're, where to place their games and like, I don't know, like, why would they care?
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
But at the same time, like, they need the industry to be healthy to have people playing games and buying games to even be interested in playing and buying GTA 6, no matter how big it is.

I want to get into the stock conversation here. On the heels of this news, Take-Two stock stumbles. Strauss-Zelnick reassures. This comes from Wesley Inpool at IGN. Earlier today, Rockstar announced a significant delay to GTA 6, which is expected to be the biggest entertainment launch of all time. And that's not hyperbole. That's just so wild.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
GTA 6 Delayed Until 2026 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.02.25
It was due out fall 2025 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, but will now release on May 26, 2026. That's a shift from Take-Two's 2026 financial year to its 2027 financial year. Early trading in Take-Two stock saw an almost 8% fall in value at the time of this article's publication.
