First off, we're going to react 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:10.840 to the game Awards, the trailers, the awards themselves, and 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.199 then we're going to recap some of the biggest stories 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.440 from the year, some of the biggest games of the year, 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.520 and finally, the x Ray crew will share what game 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.280 they are looking forward to the most next year. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:29.240 But first, previously on all right, Aaron, we got to 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.920 start with a big one. Yeah, Astrobot one Game of 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:34.360 the Year twenty twenty four. 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:35.440 Have you played it? 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:36.559 I've not played it. 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.920 Did you play astro Astro's World that comes with the 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:40.520 PS five? 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.479 Nope, it's still downloaded on my PS five and I've 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:44.679 never opened. 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.480 To incredibly charming. I would highly recommend you play it. 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.200 It's very short, it teaches you a lot of very 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.040 fun things like how to use your controller, but it's 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:58.600 a really smart, creative platformer, and Astrobot is even better. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.800 I am not surprised at I think it was an 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:06.160 outstanding game that felt very unique, especially amongst this year's nominees. 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.680 But I know that was not your choice necessarily for 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:12.440 Game of the Year, right, you know? 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:17.160 It was an eclectic year for Game of the Year nominees. 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:22.520 Like just to remind folks, there was Astrobot, b Latro, Blackmith, Wukong, 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.520 Elden Ring, Shadow of the Ur Tree, Final Fantasy seven Rebirth, 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:31.440 and Metaphor Refuntasio. That is a weird collection of finalists 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.840 for a video game year. Like usually you have your classic, 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.280 heavy hitters like Final Fantasy is maybe the only classic 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.880 heavy hitter in that list. Everything else has like something 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.720 particularly unique about it, So I did not know who 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.520 was gonna win going in. I played some metaphor and 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:51.600 I really liked it. But that's certainly for a particular 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.760 type of gamer who's really into the persona games, right 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.560 and long hundred hour RPGs. I love Final Fantasy seven, 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:00.400 so I guess those two who. 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:01.760 Were my personal picks. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.120 But Astrobot is like if you look at the numbers, 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.000 it is the best reviewed game of the year, like 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.360 be really based off of like if you look at 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.120 numbers across like Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, et cetera. 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:17.200 Open critic, I do think it Astrobat and Bolotro are 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.320 the shortest games. And that's one of the problems I 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.359 think with like Game of the Year awards, Like it's 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.079 realistic that you could see every movie that is nominated 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.600 for Best Picture at the Oscars. It is pretty unrealistic 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.080 that you can play through each of these best games. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.160 I mean, the amount of time I put into the 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.040 elden Ring Dalc alone prevents me from playing the majority 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.520 of these games. And then to add on to that, Bilotro, 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.520 which I'll talk about more later. Like that game is incredible, 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.840 Astrobot is great. Like I did not touch Final Fantasy, 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.680 I did not touch Metaphor, and I didn't even touch 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.880 Black Mets Pukong, which I thought I would really get into, 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.520 and I just never got around to it. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.800 Right right, who else the time? 0:03:55.280 --> 0:04:00.840 Yes, yes, exactly. Also, we had the best adaptation Fallout 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.360 one over Arcane, and you and I both big fans 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:09.720 of Arcane. It did yep, yeah, you know we covered 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.200 it on extras earlier, we did the entirety of season 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.320 two on the main show, right, So what did you think? 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:17.600 I don't. 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.000 I think anyone who's listened to X ray over the 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.000 last month and a half will likely know where I 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.800 fall on this, But I don't know. I mean, for 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.400 what it's worth, I only watched the first two episodes 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.160 of Fallout, and I did love them, and I grew 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:34.679 up playing you know, shit ton of Fallout three, Fallout four. 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.159 I love that franchise, and I thought the TV show 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.719 the first two episodes were great. But obviously I'm like 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.280 deeply attached to Arcane in a way that's a little unhealthy. 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.040 So just I was a bit bummed about this one. 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.520 It felt like the wrong choice. I thought Arcane was 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.360 the easy shoeing, and for what it's worth, they had, 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:55.599 like they did a whole Arcane live performance, and I 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:59.599 feel like even the Game show itself expected Arcane to 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.839 win the one and like planned for that whole performance 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:03.400 and everything. 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.200 I mean, they couldn't really bring in anyone to do 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.520 a musical performance from Fallout. I guess like all that 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.520 music is from you know, pretty long time ago. But 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.520 let's bring in Jason, Rosy and Joel to just real 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.240 quick talk through these two TV shows because we have 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.800 mentioned both of them. Jason did a huge deep dive 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.120 on the variety of drugs available and Fallout. We did 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.200 so much on Hurricane. What do you all think about 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.039 Fallout taking best adaptation? 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.800 It's I think it is a little bit of a surprise, 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.800 But you know, what would an awards show be without 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:47.800 a notable snub. I'm also you know, this is the 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.440 I don't know how many you know what number year 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.800 that I've been paying attention to and clicking in and 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:01.640 out of the Game Awards. I have no fucking clue 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.000 is there any I mean, like, how do they do 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:05.840 around the world. 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:10.360 Is there an app zero fu Yeah, I don't, I 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:15.039 know zero about it, and I've always just kind of assumed, 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.760 kind of like everything with video games, that there is 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.440 some sort of like handshaken vaguline exchange that goes. 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:26.680 On on the carriage, and that's a Fallout. I think 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:31.440 was a great show. Arcane uh, more of a pioneering 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:36.600 and yes, you know, groundbreaking show, whereas Fallouts is kind 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.320 of in the format of something you've kind of seen before, 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.960 but very excellently done. So yeah, I think a bit 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.760 of a snub, but part of the course for awards. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:46.040 Yeah, I agree. 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:50.000 I also think if you think about it, like Accessibility buys, 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.560 Fallout had a massive audience because of it being on 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.200 Amazon Prime that was like way way outside of the standard. 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:57.880 Video game audience. 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.560 Also, it is, as Jason says, like recognizable prestige TV. 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.960 But also it is one of the few really really 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.599 good live action video game adaptations, so I also think 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.600 that puts it up there. It was also, you know, 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:16.320 generally very well received, whereas I think because of the massive, 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.440 massive passion and fan base of Arcane, it was definitely 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.840 Season two was like a little bit more divisive, whether 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.800 it was the pacing or character choices, or who they 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.480 chose to focus on. So I think that Fallout was 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:32.240 a bit more of a easy choice though, like you said, 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:37.040 I mean Arcane, I think is a groundbreaking TV show 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.720 of which we may not get the like again, whereas 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.760 Fallout was just a really, really expensive and well made 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:43.920 prestige TV show. 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:45.960 I think you're also coming in on the heels of 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:50.080 a divisive second season of Arcane as opposed to a 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:54.000 holy crap was that good season of Fallout? Like you're 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.120 sort of entering at two several points. I'll also say 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:00.120 if you're if you're the kind of dream member. To 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.400 answer your question, Jason, a quick Google search revealed a 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.560 ninety percent jury, ten percent fans voting system. 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:07.560 What does that mean? 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:09.560 Question? 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:14.680 Mark on details again, Yes, but I appreciate the information. 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:19.160 That's a little bit of information I can provide. I 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.320 think too, if you look at specifically the category of 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:25.480 like adaptation, Arcane has a higher bar to clear because 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.320 if and again I have not played Arcade, so correct 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:29.800 me if I'm wrong. But it's not a very story 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:35.160 driven like, no lot driven game, right, so like, whereas 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.560 you have a lot of plot in Fallout and you 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.400 can adapt that lore in that narrative and fit that 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.720 season into the larger canon of Fallout. It's a little 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.840 harder to do for our Kane because it's establishing something. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.719 So I think if you were like, as far as 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.760 how am I judging it as an adaptation, I could 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.719 see pulling the lever for Fallout over Arcane. But I 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:55.240 do think it sort of came as a surprise and 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.040 kind of a lovely one Ella Pronell having a great year, 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.800 happy for her love Fallout looking for season two. 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.440 We talked about it with our Fallout coverage that the 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.880 main characters are the different play styles and Fallout where yeah, 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.040 no one can you know, watch Arcane and then go oh, 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.280 I can't wait to play like this, that someone's just 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:14.840 gonna yell at you in the lobby that you're not 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.000 topaning on. 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:22.680 The only one that I do think is that when 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.360 by the end of Arcane season two, I was like, oh, 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.199 I understand why they made a best of the new 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.679 character because she had those sick like scorpion esque calls 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.920 kind of chains, so she was one character I was like, Okay, 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:37.559 if I was ever gonna play this, I would play, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.600 but I'm never gonna play it because everyone always wants 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.880 me like it's the scariest game to play in the world. 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:45.920 Then everyone will yell at you, and I did my 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.840 time with Halo Online. I don't need to I don't 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:49.400 need to do that. 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:50.080 Get in there. 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.320 Well, while we have all of you here, how about 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.800 we talked through some of the trailers and announcements. Because 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.800 this is an award show, but it's mostly a three 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.959 a long adver commercial. Yeah, so let's talk through some 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.640 of the highlights. First up, Naughty Dog announced their new 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.560 game that they've been working on for four years in 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:13.080 secret since twenty twenty, Intergalactic the Heretic Project. This is 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.920 a sci fi video game about a bounty hunter who's 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.440 going after Kamail Najianni, who takes me. 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:19.880 Out of ever. 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:24.360 I love com so so much, but he keeps showing 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:29.960 up in video games and it absolutely like takes rips. Yeah, 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.439 he's a voice is a character in Mass Effect. It's 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.360 so weird, but I love it. He's he's a longtime 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:41.880 gamer and podcaster and so follow your passions, Kamail. What 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:43.800 do we all think of this Intergalactic? What do we 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:44.880 think of the reveal trailer? 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.480 Looks amazing. I can't wait to play it in ten years. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.040 Yeah, it looks it's great. 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.120 Whenever it comes out, I will play it, probably when 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:56.400 it's on sale. But also I do think it was 0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:00.520 really interesting to see the way that conversations are Naughty 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.760 Dog have changed post the Last of Us, you know, 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.040 because a lot of the reporting I saw on this 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.600 was like an original sci fi ip. 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:09.600 By Naughty Dog. 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.360 So you know, the studios are just like lapping up, like, 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.200 oh my god, when can we make it into a 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:14.920 TV show? 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:16.800 Like who who's going to be able to adapt it? 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.800 Got a wait for it to come out first, guys, 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.040 unless we're going to get into the space in video 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.679 games like there are in books where people are kind 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.040 of like optioning games before they come out, the same 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.600 way they optioned books before they come out. But yeah, 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.200 I mean it looks great. I love a Bounty Hunter story. 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:36.400 I also love sci fi, and I'm very excited to 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.560 see I will probably play this on easy mode in yeah, 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:40.920 ten years when it comes out. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.880 Could you imagine a concurrent like TV show and game 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:46.520 real ease at the same time. 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.920 Yeah, it would be absolutely wild, but there's precedent for it. 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:51.840 If you look at not in video games, but like, 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.080 for example, when they were making the original Scott Pilgrim movie, 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.600 Brian Ley O'Malley still hadn't finished the last book, so 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.320 they were kind of making it alongside, and that was 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:05.160 like a very interesting choice. And obviously that was because 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.360 him and Edgar Wright were like collaborating and in that 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.520 kind of mode. But I do think we could end 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:12.600 up in a world where, you know, we're getting more 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.200 and more corporate mergers and conglomerates and stuff. So there's 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.000 probably gonna be a world where they're making a video 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.320 game and its adaptation at the same time within the 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:23.679 next few years totally. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:24.360 I mean to your point. 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.160 Rosie Trent Reznor and Aticus Ross are doing the soundtrack 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.560 for this game, and so we already know they have 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:34.120 a pretty stellar run at film and television. Serially, Yeah, 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.280 I'm excited. I think the mystery for this game is 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.600 really interesting. He plays like a bounty hunter who gets 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.000 stranded on a planet that lost communication with the rest 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.720 of the galaxy six hundred years ago, and you're trying 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.880 to get off the planet, but everybody who has left 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.160 the planet has never returned, and so you don't know 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.520 if leaving is a death thing or if you're just like, 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.599 screw this planet, I got off goodbye. And then the 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.760 character design looks fantastic, like really stellar love the weapon 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:04.679 blunt electrified weapon is really cool. So the design elements 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.040 that are available to us so far definitely have me 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.400 intrigued and die Dogs on kind of a run. 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.400 So I'm hoping for good things. 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.440 I think the lineage of Naughty Dog is what you're 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:20.080 going to be excited about here, Yeah, exactly uncharted Last 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:24.679 of Us. The fact that this is a studio that 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:32.520 is known for great story and gameplay elements that are 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.800 high quality and really support great story. So I think 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.960 that part of it is really intriguing in terms of 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.960 like what we saw. Who knows, but I think the 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.640 I just the idea that Naughty Dog has its kind 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:52.240 of like first original story since the Last of Us 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.920 set in space and a sci fi context is super 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.680 super exciting. They showed us like very little, and to 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:03.320 everybody's point, that makes makes me feel like this is years. 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:03.880 Away, years away. 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.559 Yeah, well, hopefully this next game is not that far away, 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.640 because I know a boo practically you know, pulled his 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.680 hair out over this next one. CD project reads the 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.840 Witcher four a start of a brand new Witcher saga, 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:23.880 with a teaser trailer focusing on Siri and uh no gameplay, 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.720 no gameplay, not to inject my own personal biases, but 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.360 a boo you were you were freaking out about this. 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:35.400 Yeah, there were, There was rumor of this, but we 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.880 also got mere months ago confirmation that Witcher four has 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.240 left pre production and is now in production, and. 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.040 So it's so early. 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:48.000 This is like years and years and years away. And 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.400 I was shocked that the Game Awards like practically opened 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.000 with a trailer about Witcher four, So that was exciting. 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:58.120 I'm very excited to see Whicher Sirie back as a Witcher, 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.800 presumably based on what we saw on this trailer. The 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.760 vibes looked great. Uh there you know, the trailer claimed 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.280 that this was in engine footage, So if the game looks, 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.880 you know, even close to what we saw in that trailer, 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.240 it'll be it'll be gorgeous. So I mean, I'm a 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.000 huge Witcher fan, so I'm gonna be playing the shit 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:18.600 out of this as soon as it comes out. 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.280 And from the game that Aboo couldn't relax over to 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.960 the game that I thought was actually a hoax when 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.360 my friends texted me the trailer because I was watching 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:31.720 the football game and they send this text to me. 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:38.560 Elden Ring Night Rain co op survival action game. Yes, 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.040 I am so excited for elden Ring to be nominated 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:44.560 for a Game of the Year for the next five 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.760 years running as from sooff just keeps doing new things 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.040 under the elden Ring banner. I think this one looks 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.400 to be drawing from all across the Souls franchise. There 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.480 are moves from Secoro, there is the Nameless King from 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:01.880 Dark Souls. People are theorizing that the fire Keeper from 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.800 Dark Souls three is there. The main thing, though, is 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.360 that from Soft games are notoriously single player. You can 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.480 bring in other people to help you on a boss, 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.120 or you can get invaded, but it is not a 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:17.400 seamless co op experience. And this looks to be that. 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.360 This looks to be like you and I load in 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.600 and we play for an extended period of time and 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.520 we are going to go start to finish. There's not 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.560 you falling out when we beat the boss and I 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:33.960 have to resummon you. This is its own thing. I'm 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.720 very excited about what this could be Jason, You've played 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:41.400 the DLC, right, mm hmm. The amount of things that 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.000 we're introduced in the DLC of new weapon types, new 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:48.280 combat techniques, and then seeing this which had even more things, 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.880 just I am in awe. 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:57.360 Yeah, I'm a little. I am super intrigued and very excited. 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.760 That said, I'm also like, they've never done anything like 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:06.560 this before. And I love summoning somebody and I do 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.600 it all the time because i need fucking help eating 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:14.760 these bosses. But I'm gonna need more synergy than you'd 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.800 show up. I show up and then we both just 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:21.240 start dodging and hacking at a boss like uh. So 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:26.719 I'm interested to see how they add value to the 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.000 fact that this is a co op game and what 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:37.760 the synergy between the players is because my initial reaction 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.399 is if it's just like a long a game version 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.800 of a summoning boss fight experience, that's kind of not enough. 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.359 So I'm interested to see what else is there. And 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:54.600 I'm sure, like you know, it's the reputation of this 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:57.000 studio obviously speaks for itself, so I'm sure it will 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.560 be great, but I'm really intrigued to know what else is. 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:24.800 There next up from the creator of Shadows the Colossus. 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:30.080 In the Last Guardian, we have something tentatively titled Project Robot. 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.920 The teaser features this pilot climbing on a giant mech. 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:37.080 The head ejects, and then this doomsday storm comes in 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.840 and destroys the body of the mech. As someone who 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.560 I have very fond memories freshman year of college, sitting 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:47.040 in like my best friend's dorm room, him playing Shadow 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:48.960 of the Colossus and me just like sitting on his 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:53.240 floor crisscross like watching in awe. I cannot wait for this. 0:18:53.280 --> 0:19:01.719 I think this is the most anxiety. 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.560 Anxiety inducing games when you suddenly realize that you have 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:04.600 been on the wrong side of history all along. 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.159 I can't wait for this. It looks it looks fantastic. 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:11.679 It's just as mysterious and weird and strange as I 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:16.840 would hope, And it was definitely like giving me. There's 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:20.800 been a big mac resurgence recently, I feel like, whether 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:25.000 it's in comics or whether it's in you know, even 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:28.000 having like an ultraman kids cartoon on Netflix that was 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.600 like so popular. It's it's really fantastic, Like I can't 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:32.640 recommend it enough. 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:34.400 And uh, yeah, I. 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:38.240 Just this looks so good, and I'm this was the 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.359 one where I was like, Okay, they hooked me, like 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:41.000 this is. 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:43.360 They because usually I'm a smaller. 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:46.159 Game guy nowadays, but I'm I'm I'm really ready for 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.199 this when in five years, when when it comes out 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:54.920 with a totally different names nothing to do with mechs for. 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:59.560 Me, it's really simple. Nobody does a little guy climbing 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:03.800 on a gigantic guy better than fumio. Nobody in the 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:05.360 history in games does that matter? 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:07.119 So that. 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:15.560 On a big guy. Yeah, next up we have gearboxes 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:20.040 Borderlands four. We had hints of this after the Borderlands. 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:21.840 I was gonna say, it's kind of funny that like 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.000 they announced this and they were like, yeah, there's this 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:26.840 cool thing coming, and it's like, guys, guess how we 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:29.080 already knew this was coming out because you guys were like, 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.320 thought that movie sucked, Well, guess what the game's gonna 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:34.639 be bad, So we like knew it was coming in 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:35.880 the most hilarious way. 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:41.400 And the trailer has uh pod racing, grappling hooks, obviously, 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:44.600 loot drops, and there's clap Trap set to launch in 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:46.920 twenty twenty five. We didn't mention that about the Eldon 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:49.159 Ring one as well. Nice to see a trailer that 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.400 has a release date, even if it's just the year, 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:52.840 like an actual. 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:56.080 Release date and seemingly in game footage. Yeah, I'm probably 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.840 the only Borderlands fan here, and I'll say I'm excited 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.639 for this game because I like a game with a 0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:06.080 lot of guns where I don't have to think sometimes yes, 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:10.359 silly silly guns. 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:16.000 Next up, capcom released again just the title Okami sequel. 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:17.520 There's not an actual name yet. 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:19.560 If you haven't played at commy, no, because I was 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:22.360 gonna say, like, this is such a legendary game if 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:25.080 you love it, like I love this game.

It's 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:50.360
