Madden NFL 25 Impressions # 411

about on this episode. So there's that. I've got Madden NFL twenty five impressions, which I'm sure that made everybody either grown or be like, Okay, what's do with this one? And yeah, Raney's been playing Andrew Lilies. And we got some other stuff including inside Basel with content creators getting notes from certain doves about don't say this and don't

say that. We'll get into all that and more. All right, So just to get this stuff out of the way in case you know this is your first time listening. Out of time listening, we do appreciate you. We do the show usually around this time, like anywhere between like four point thirty, between four thirty and six live on YouTube and twitch, W two network for those, also Facebook's W two network, And we can't do it on X and so forth because you know, not paying Elon must

that money. It's not worth it really, but yeah, you can catch us live on those also on demand on the YouTube channel, which if you subscribe follow hit that bill. That helps us out a lot, because not only do you get what we do here with the gaming stuff, if you like other things like anime, we have a whole anime show where they review all of the anime that is happening, like each week, each core, each season.

They do a lot of that, so if you want to know, like what's the thing you should be watching, and there's a ton of anime every time. So I definitely go check out Otaco Cafe, go check out the rather broadcasting folks because they do awesome stuff that involves you know, movies and TV. They did the Borderlines we review, so if you need one of those that tells you how bad this movie is, you can go watch them, and they do a great job with that. They also did a review of the Aco White Star Wars show

as well, so go check them out too. And Randy, of course doing his bad brackets. Go check him out over there Brad Brackets. Subscribe to his channel. They just did a best Sega Genesis games.

happening this weekend. So you know, what a time, What a time, the perfect time you would say for EA to release Madden NFL twenty five, and well, you could say it's Madden all right, that would be the easiest things to say, But no, I'm gonna I'm gonna be fair to it and you know, give it some some

plaudits and some things to talk about. I think the issue now is now you have a game from your own company that stands up against it that you have to deal with every year, especially this year, where hey, that game might actually be better than this game because they had the three years to go and develop and make that game. Right. Uh so, look, not a lot

is gonna change here. The biggest thing that they've been talking about, which you do notice, is the boom tech thing of how the player the physics with the game, like how the players hit each other, the tackles, how they're able to get out of tackles. It seems more, it feels more realistic. So it's kind of the same stuff they've been touting for a couple of years with the EA Sports FC game as well, with that hypermotion thing. It's kind of very similar. Just yeah, it does feel

more more realistic. It does feel more like, Okay, my player got hit and you can see where he'll be able to spin off and keep going, or he got hit and got smacked to the ground, or you know, the tackle comes through and you'll you'll understand more of why he got tackled, why he didn't. It is cool some of the times that you think that you should

get tackled and they don't. The only issue is there's still sometimes where I'm just like, how the hell is you go through a whole pack of people Break twenty tackles and still you know, go through the whole pile and go on to the end zone. That doesn't against But you know, that's I think that's unavoidable in sports video games. I mean, it doesn't matter how much closing detection you put in there, that's just gonna be. That's

just gonna happen sometimes. You know, you can't really do much about that, you know, I think for the rest of it is aside from the boom tech thing, which again it's noticeable, but I don't think that that's that's not gonna make you want to spend seventy dollars. I don't really know that there is gonna be much here that if you had Matt twenty four is gonna really ask for you to upgrade. Honestly. The other thing that they pushed a lot was that they up the presentation.

So now there's three different commentary teams, including Kristin Scott and brock Heward. That's the you know, so you have a female voice and they are doing play by play, and you got Mike Tarrico and Greg Olsen obviously two awesome people at their jobs are like the lead team, and then you still have Charlie, Charles Davis and Arbour Gordon there, so you don't get to pick. It's kind of like college football, where it's like, I guess there's

a tier of where those people will show up. Even though in my regular season I had make Treka greg Olsen a lot. I don't know, because that has to do with maybe that game was supposed to be on national TV in real life, so they had them beyond that broadcast team. I don't know, but yeah, I've seen a lot of people complain that they always get christ and Scott and brock Heward and they're not getting like they feel like there should be a way to choose

the team. Right, you're gonna make a big deal about the commentary teams. You should let people choose the team they want to listen to. But I don't know if there's any kind of like fee or whatever with that.

go through. I know that's a pain for some people because sometimes been really slow where it takes forever to get to one thing to the other. The rest of the stuff really is a lot of what you saw in college football is twenty five. So the kicking meter has been brought over from there, but they made it easier because now you have that whole thing where they have the new kicking mechanic where it has to be

in the landing zone and all that stuff. If you haven't watched the new you haven't watch any of the twenty twenty four preseason games where they've been doing it. They they did talk about they released a video where they talked about they had to put this in like right when they were done with making the game, like they were basically at the point where they're polishing the

game and stuff. The NFL was like, uh, can you guys put this in the game, And they're like, well, we want to be a representation of the NFL, so yeah. And then so Madden is kind I like the first they use madd and to be able to figure out like the best way to actually use this in the actual NFL. So it's kind of it's kind of a cool thing that way that they got that they got to use that, but they do do it in this game,

so you can you have to. There's not it doesn't seem to be really a way to like not kick it in the landing zone because I even got it to where it goes to the max with Brandon Aubrey, the Cowboys kicker, and it does not go over the landing zone. It still goes within it. So it's like, I guess the game just automatically does it that way. The passing mechanic is kind of similar to e Colle sbout twenty five, you know, with that revamp passing thing, but you can switch it to the other one if

you don't like that. If it's too hard for you or whatever. They have the same thing with the switch stick and the defense and the different they added the addition of like different playbooks and things like that. So like a lot of that stuff, and that's a that's an issue too, right, A lot of that stuff that would be kind of new and you could put it on the on the back of the box kind of thing.

With this game, it's really not new because if you play with College Football twenty five, you already got the experience of that, right, So a lot of the mini games that got put into College for Bout twenty apparently Pocket Presence hasn't been in Madden for like ten years or something. And I was like, well, I just played that like last month, So this is not really that big a deal. But it's in here now, I guess.

The new stuff that's been added to like Franchise Mode to me doesn't really to me, it's not a big deal. Like it's like storyline, the storyline stuff is now instead of having Dion and shout Out Cho Cinko doing voiceover stuff, now it's like big bold text that comes on and you're kind of like talking to a big player, like so, and this is in Superstar Mode and the Franchise Mode. The Franchise Mode is your your coach, right, that's going through that, and you get ask questions a boy the media.

You get asked questions about the player and you have to kind of like decide what you're gonna do. And depending on what you do, is it you know, what points you get or whatever, you still have the Skill Tree thing you have to go through with the Skill Teo thing is kind of bogus because they don't really do anything. The Superstar Mode it kind of feels like it has more weight because it determines what quests you get and then what quest line you go on or whatever.

And then obviously it depends on like I've picked the running back, so like EI, there's different things that you have with the running backs that you you know you can do or have so many yards, how many touchdowns?

All that stuff that you get every year. Now they have like records that they put into the game, so like you have the official records from the NFL, so it'll actually go through and tell you, oh, you I broke at your Peterson's record or whatever for rushing yards in the season, and they make a big deal about it. Or whatever. But you know, look, a lot of this

stuff is very u answer hilarry. Physics is physics. Graphics is graphics for a brand, and it's always gonna look nice because it's now it's on PS five and serrhysics. But honestly, look uh. And also the draft thing that they made a big deal about, Roger Goodell doesn't even talks who cares, so, like you know, like I mean, oh, you get to see him hug the guy or hug

your player. The only cool thing is that you can actually bring in your Road to Glory player from college football into disc game, so you can technically go through the full like, oh, he started in college as a freshman too. Now he's in the NFL and you can kind of control him whatever if you have. If you use an actual name that's similar to anything, they might prevent you from using that name because it might run into nil stuff. So just let you know if you

try to. If you try to, let's say, bring in like arch Manning, I think it has like a thing that it's going to block you from doing it, and it's going to revert it to some kind of something with your your Xbox login or your PlayStation login and then I don't know if you can change the name later or whatever, but I did see that that somebody tried to look put arch Manning in there and it blocks it from being loaded and changes the name. So just be aware that that's that's not going to happen.

But yeah, you know, it's Madden. If you want to play Madden again and you want to pay your seventy bucks, then go ahead and do it. Honestly, I would wait till it goes and sale because it always does. Or you can just wait till the super Bowl happens and play it on game past or yea play or whatever. But but yeah, it's It's Madden. And then I've been

enjoying it. I've actually liked the Superstar mode a lot more than the Franchise thing because I feel like the that new whole thing with the storylines kind of matters more there because it goes into the quest directly, whereas like the Franchise mode, you still have a lot of stuff that like, why do I need to know that there's like three why do I need to know that there's three like players that are on the trade block?

And then I I'm not even gonna trade for any of those players, Like why do I need to know stuff that doesn't really matter to my team? And it feels like it's just giving you notifications all the time that that aren't important. Uh so you know, it is what it is. But yeah, I guess I'll have that review probably sometime this week. But Randy House or I've been I played more. Supermarket Simulator still a really good way to like pass the time and you want to watch something else.

this end of the least quietest of the night. That was, you know, just put on PS plus What do you think?

going on and stuff, like, I get it. It's this dark, brooding kind of a atmosphere or that they have going on, but it is just the same, this old dime, And it was like, just I would like it to pick up a little bit. Maybe as I get the new zones it will, but for the first two or three zones that I'm in, just the music always just it seems to be pretty slow and low and just I don't know, just it's tough to really get into I sat there a couple different times and playing the battle.

The fights are fine. I've never really had too much issues as far as difficulty with it, so I actually have more problems with a horde of enemies compared to the bosses so far. Maybe that'll change throughout, but I love the fact that you have different skills that you can collect throughout that kind of change the way the

gameplay works. And you have two different builds that you can have, and it's just a push of the button and you go from Build A to Build B. And I just kind of use that as a second set of skills just to kind of try different things. You only have a certain amount of them that you can use, and you have to collect some power ups to build that back up. But yeah, I mean, so far, the story is interesting. Again, Graphically it is very beautiful, obviously more of a black and whitish kind of field to

the game. But I don't know, it hasn't really hooked me just yet. I'll continue it for a little bit because we're still about three weeks before I really get hit with all the games as Fall that I really want to play, so this has been a good distraction before I get into the craziness of my schedules. But obviously, like you said, for people that like me, that like the metro vaneas and those style of games, it's fine.

I don't think it will ever make the top of my list of any of these style of games, and I don't think it will for a lot of others either. There are games out there that do everything that Ender Lilies does better. It's a solid it's a solid game.

they talk about the game. And of course this is a Chinese developer, Hero Games Game Sciences the publisher, so you know, they already kind of get a stigma because of you know, where the game is being made, right, and so it's kind of understandable they're kind of trying to play defense a little bit of like, hey, let's try to make what we say about the game positive. Let's try not to like be positive and then just

shower with a bunch of negative stuff. We really can't tell journalists to not do that, because then we're going to get negative press about us telling journalists to try to not talk about it. What about content creators, so we can kind of control them a bit more. They're going to care more about access. You know, they're going to care about making sure they leave things a good standing. You can you can pay for them to talk about

your game, right, whereas journalists you can't do that. So among things that they said you could not talk about, which some of these makes sense, like insulting other influences of players using offensive language or humor. But then they put in things like using trigger words like quarantine or COVID nineteen because obviously, you know, China has a history

with people. You know, there's a lot of talk about where the virus came from or whatever, China's game industry policies, opinions, news, and even more controversially, politics, violence, nudity, feminist propaganda, fetization, or other content that instigates negative discourse. That seems like that could be very broad, right, you cannot talk Yeah,

you cannot talk about anything negative about this game. So look that if you don't know anything about this game, it's a game where you play like a monkey man. It seems like and it's not Dark Souls. It's difficult like Dark Souls, but it's not it's socially more of like an action game with like difficult bosses, right and I think it has like an eighty two eighty three Metacritic right now, so not tremendous, but not you know,

not amazing, but it's still very good. Right, Some filks will say that if nothing, if you know it splords under a nine, it's not not great order, but you know, some people just just need to touch grass and when it comes to that. But either way, what do you think about all this? If you were a content creator, would you agree to these terms or just be like, look, I'm not reviewing the game, Like what, what are your.

that heart of a game. It still makes me cuss. Now, obviously there's other kinds of offensive language, and that, of course I can understand. But listen, you're not You are not a streaming platform. You were not a platform that has the ability to do this kind of stuff. Now you can definitely ruin your relationship with this company by breaking their rules. And when they come out with a new game, they'll they'll say, no, I mean, we won't

give it to you early. But I'm sorry. I'm still one of those people that like, you've come out with a game, now I can do it with I want with it. We always have that argument with with Mark when he's on the show, because you know, there's a lot of mods that will come out for games, and you'll be talking about this and that, and he can do whatever he wants with the game. But then he brings it up with like an issue of the game, and I'm like, well, no, because you've already played it

completely the opposite of what they're intended. But it's his right to play it however the hell he wants once he purchases said game. So it's the same thing here. It's like can twitch or YouTube or whatever the other streaming services? Facebook I think still does the streaming stuff. I'm sure there's others. TikTok, I guess do they if they want to have these same rules and regulations, Absolutely, because you are on their platform exactly so they can

have the rulings. But like I want to play a game, and I don't stream as much as I used to. I try to here and then, and then hopefully once the kids go back to school and I have a little bit of downtime in the mornings, I've been thinking about going back and streaming a little bit. I don't like to just sit there and talk about said game over and over and over and only talk about this game. I want to have conversations with people, and I want to have a chat, and if the chat goes in

a certain way, I don't want to go. No, hold on, let me switch games so we can have this conversation about the election that's about to happen. Because I can't talk about this while I'm playing this certain game. That's silly and trivial.

on board. And technically, you know, we have things we have this happened with You can't talk about a certain thing from a game because they don't want spoilers, right, And you do have to adhere to that because technically this is what they are specifying for you not to do, because they're giving you an early copy for you to review. So for you to agree to this embargo, you have to agree that you're not going to talk about certain parts of the game that they choose for you now to talk about.

until this part until release. Those are totally understandable and find sometimes they go a little overboard, but for the most part, you know, what you're getting into as a content creator or a reviewer of Like, you're lucky enough to get the game a little bit early. You got to do a little bit of work for it, but you understand that, you know that you got to play ball a little bit. However, the worst that can happen is a we're not giving you a game again.

see it. Right, how many games leak and then you have to have the developer or somebody go out there and go, please don't leak this game, don't you know, Please don't go and play this early and make it to where you're spoiling it for people, Like I think those are different things than basically telling people blank slate, you can't talk about anything and stuff that doesn't even have to do with the game itself, things that are outside the game, right, that you shouldn't be able to police,

but you are because you're trying to make sure that everything's positive as your game, which then that's also kind of like you're you're it's almost like marketing instead of instead of just oh, we're trying to in good faith, here's what people think about it, and that that's not good.

pointless argument for it. But really it's just they're trying to come up with rules, and it's their right to come up with set rules that they would like to have you follow to continue a relationship with them, and it's my right to go nah, I'm good.

just getting a code, they're getting monetary stuff. Yeah, they're getting preaching a little bit, you know, whereas journalists who can't agree to any of that stuff, you don't get free stuff with that unless you're also reviewing that along with it, right, uh, and you know that would be super negative. So they were trying to like hedge their bets to go one way, and I think it just it's not helping them any other perspective. And we'll see.

I mean, hopefully the it ends up being about the game, right, A lot of the talk ends up being about the game, if the game is good or not. I obviously I think it's going to get overshadowed very quickly by Games Calm and Opening Night Live and all that stuff. Unfortunately for this, yeah, I still.

definitely the distant third of the three. Yeah, And like you said, it's really just about reinforcing either oh, hey, here's more gameplay on this game that we know you're going to look forward to later this year or kind of early next year, or oh I'm sorry thing got delayed or whatever, but hey, here's something else that kind of ties you over.

like let's let's let's just chill a little bit. Yeah, be excited for it, please, and be excited for the updates that we bring. And I'll definitely be checking it out. But yeah, it's it'll be fun.

that you're gonna get hyped about instead of June. Is kind of like now Summer Game Fest does get you high for some stuff, but it's more of like, oh, here's what's coming like pretty soon, like towards the end of this year, whereas like Game Awards is now the like almost the E three thing of oh here's this thing. You didn't know what's gonna come, but here it is. You know, even I not your console at this thing

or whatever. You know, So like it could be realistic that perhaps Nintendo, even though I don't think they would do it, they could definitely do it on the room without that, but like Nintendo could technically show like a fifteen second trailer of the switch to at Game Awards.

lots of positivity about it, much more likes the dislike ratio than there has been now people are getting you know, preview time with the game too. A lot of different sites are ign w you see all that stuff, so that's kind of making it look a better light as well. Have you seen this?

I have been very, very excited for this. I know some of the trailers we've gotten have pushed people the wrong way, but the thing that always drove me nuts was and they're like, oh, the combat looks bad, go back up by Silent Hill Too. The combat was bad, Like, it was not a revolutionary combat system. It's Hill Too.

It's supposed to feel awkward and jinky. Yeah. They came out with the story story trailer today and it looked fantastic and has me even more hyped to beget that first line in that trailer that you're showing right there kind of put me back for a moment, going, oh, maybe maybe it's going to be rough in this aspect too, But the rest of the trailer was great. I've been

trying to be on the opposite side. I know there's a lot of Silent Hill fans that are going, oh God, but it's just because I mean, we have so much PTSD for all of the Silent Hill stuff since what three Maybe the room and the Room was okay, but since then, I guess the report of the original was really too. But other than that, like if you put Silent Hill on something, it turns out to be complete trash, and that's what you expect anymore. But this trailer got

me even more hyped. But I was never negative about this game, so I'm this is definitely one of the games in twenty twenty four that I am one playing.

want it to to be good. At the end of the day, nobody, none of us want want to sit here and and see the game be bad, or especially a beloved series like this. I think all of us would love to see Silent He'll be able to make comeback and have a Silent Hill. Whatever number they're on now or they were at at one point, I think they stopped doing numbers, right, they did, like.

like big things for it. They did a seven Rebirth like exphibition recently as well, and Hamaguchi was this basically saying that development team is hard at work as we speak of we're gonna make the game slaying that even beats any expectations that you have towards the game. I'm absolutely confident the third game of Pomps and remake series will be one of the most loved, the most popular

games of the whole history of video games. Once again, my god, putting it up there, aren't we like we're talking about greatest game of all time territory here?

just saying stuff and they're really not doing it. Are you worried that they are taking too much into account about we're listening to the fans. We're listening to the feedback, like, shouldn't you already kind of have in place what you're going to do?

section into a full game, And they did it. There was a little bit of stretching here and there, and the side quests were a little rough, they made it work. For the most part, and it was a very enjoyable game. Then Rebirth happened. They went, oh, you hated the side

question and you thought they were rough. Well, now that the side quests are so good that you can't help but play them, and then you're gonna get mad because the game's four hundred hours long because you can't help but do all of them, even though I'm sure if you just mainline that game, it's what thirty hours, maybe twenty hours, thirty hours. But the side stuff was so good and the stuff that they've added is so good,

and they built something Queen's Blood is insane. Oh, with that said, there is still things that they need to work on from rebirth. It's not a perfect game by any means, there's no such thing. So they're gonna do the same thing. They're gonna they've been listening to two people and what they're looking for. They'll make their tweaks, they will make their additions to the gameplay, and just basically,

this is a love letter to Final Fantasy seven. It always has been, and that's why I think listening to the fans of this this case is very important. The thing that I'm super stoked about is they continue to build on questions and questions and questions, and you can't build anymore. The third hopefully we'll answer all of those. They definitely have to stick to.

I hate the ending, and then we have these discussions which we did with your Sporting cast and Maximilian Maximilian dude does and mid Max does, and to get really into the deep dive of stuff, and they talk about it for the next couple of years, and then by the next game, you're like, man, that ending was so good. I can't wait for them to answer all of that stuff. We're starting to already get there with Rebirth. More videos that I watched, the more people are like, oh my god,

this means this, This means that. What is going to mean for this upcoming thing? So hopefully with the third it's not completely faithful for ninety five percent and then just five percent wild I want fifty to fifty, like bring it all together. I want craziness throughout the game to answer all of these questions. And I don't want it just to be normal, normal, normal, absolutely insanity for the last five hours. Just go nuts with it, and I can't wait.

stuff that you like go to directionally. A lot of this stuff is optional, right, you don't have to have all the weapons. You don't have to. They need to put that in the game. But a lot of that stuff is when you get to the third disc, that that part of the second disc and then you get to third this a lot of stuff like you don't have to have it to finish the game, right, you.

hour days to make it happened. But it's impossible to do that while changing engine. So just stick with Unreal Engine four right now. You understand it, you know how to use it. Everything's already in there, all your assets are done. You're not gonna have to spend months and months and months upgrading everything. Just stick with it, please, So we're not waiting seven years for this game.

way it looks. Now, just give me the game that twenty twenty seven like seems like target date because it's the thirty year anniversary of MOMP Fantasy seven perfect, Like you said, don't don't make this can come out twenty twenty twenty nine because you want to hit it on Unreal Engine five when you can easily just look, there's people that are waiting for this entire thing to come out that have not played any of it at all, and they're they're gonna be able to reap the benefits

of having a remastered collection. You know they're gonna want to do it, And why not do it on the next Unreal Engine five where you can look and maybe this is for PS six or whatever the heck by then, because you know, we really might a lot closer to the PlayStation six if it even releases at the same time.

You know, this could be a kind of like one of those same thing that happened with the Fall Fantasy seven remake where it was, you know, in between both consoles, So this could be that for that generation, and why not be able to the next year, be able to be like, okay, fully remastered the entire Fall Fantasy seven remake project on Unrear Engine five and you charge seventy or eighty dollars or whatever the heck you're gonna right by then for that and I'd be totally down with

buying it again. If you're going to do that, I don't think you need to put it on Real Engine five because the graphics are not going to sell that game. You're going to have an even smaller audience than you did for Remake to Rebirth because people only have so many so much time to play games, right, So you may have even less sales or maybe more because now you can buy the whole damn collection together, right and

then play them all. And I don't think that that being on a Real Engine five is going to sell your game more than it is already by the fact that you know what you have with it. So I hope that they just continue with what they're doing and and we get the game at a faster pace because of that, you know aim. So that means said, we're getting some release dates, maybe a lot earlier than we thought we were going to get previous to this week.

Something we didn't even know we were going to get until recently was the ant stream arcade that's going to be coming to the PS five MPs four. It's been on Xbox at PC for a while and even on phones. I have the Xbox subscription I had to review that one. I had to have reviewed it. It was really great. In its time, they've added more things. They've added more games.

There's like three hundred Arcade games, C sixty four games, Mega Drive games, Nest games, Spectrum games even and for like the forty bucks a year or even one hundred dollars lifetime. If you love retro stuff, that is definitely something to go check out, honestly, and they all I'm sure they'll have a free trallet like they do for the iOS stuff. So if you're interested at all in this and you've been waiting for it to come to

PSIPS four, I definitely would check it out. Like I said, if you're a retro fan, I think it's definitely up your alley. It's not going to have the Nintendo stuff on there, but almost anything else from another company they could, uh, And they're constantly always working with the people to get more things on there, so including they're going to get the I think the PS one net your Rose games are going to be coming soon, so all those Peak of eight games are going to show up there. So yeah,

that's cool that it's on there. It's gonna be on more platforms. Have you Have you checked this.

and see what it's in there. But I love the fact that, like it's a it's a subscription service, but like if you know you're really going to use it a lot and and over years, you can just go, here's one hundred bucks.

A lot of folks got to preview it and stuff like that, and then they they showed a release state trailer and this is coming to everything, PS five, Xbox Switch, a PC, Plucky Squire, and then they released the information that it's going to be available for PS plus Extra and Premium for that month, which is pretty also souse that's next month already, so I love when they do these. They won indie release dates, and why not with one of the biggest ones of the year. Are you more hypes now?

to do so, so they're still making their money. This has been a hyped game for me for years. I know, we talked about it a lot when we did our preview show that I was on with you guys for this year. This was one of my most hyped games. Unfortunately, the number one spot's locked in for my Game of the Year. I don't think anything's beating Rebirth, but it's

a pretty good battle for number two. Prince of Persian Animal Well, right now, we're kind of in my mind palace trying to figure out which one gets that spot. But I'm really hoping Plucky Squire lives up to the hype that I have in my head and kind of goes for that battle. I I have so hyped for this.

the puzzles are mixed in with that too. So like the fact that it's coming out so soon, and you know, some of the previous stuff kind of has said that this seems to be like a noney made for you to play with your kids or whatever. But I still think, like how much how inventive it is and everything else is going to make it to where it's going to be awesome. So I'm excited for this. I can't wait.

And now that I know that I can just get it as part of having PS plus if I thought about unsubscribing, definitely going to have it for another month for sure.

off the bat because it's a Friday release. I just looked you can kind of get a hint of these kind of games that might get a day and date because it's on a Tuesday. But yeah, maybe whenever it does hit a PlayStation Plus platform, I might give it another go. But this this is definitely our remaster that I didn't need.

happy that it there. It's getting its moment. But I mean there's obviously some other games that people probably want to get that remaster treatment, you know, Blood Born for a lot of people. But that's good. Look more games that they can put on PC. That's great for her persona. And you know you'll get God of War Random Rock pretty soon after as well. So yeah, another one that's they finally revealed the actual release state dragon Age vill Guard.

This is a game that, like a lot of people kind of poo poo the trailer when it came out, weren't happy about the game kind of changing its art style and what was the the gameplay elements and stuff like that, And I'm kind of on the other side offense. I wasn't a big dragon Age Inquisition guy at all, and then I kind of saw this game and it's like, oh, this is like fun. You know this they're kind of having more film with it. I like the voice acting. I did like the art style in a way actually

more so, I don't know. I'm kind of on the fence of this one about maybe I will pick it up. I don't know where you are with the dragon Age series, and I never.

Marble Fighting Game collection. Of course, this got a lot of hype because it's the freeing of Marble versus Capcom two, a new age of heroes, and then of course some other Marble Wars, Cap Marble or x Men like fighters in here, along with the Punisher Beat Them Up game. The supposed rumors liver Verse twenty second for this one. Uh, that's of course coming to everything but Xbox. But Xbox is trying to fix that with their empty framework thing. Oh are you excited for this at all?

like a soft spot for it all the time. Yeah, I'll probably be picking this up, even though you know it'd probably just be marvels KYPKNG two and Punish sure that I'm gonna be playing most of the time. But yeah, it's it's one that a lot of people are excited about, like you said, hyped up and cool that we might know release date for it pretty soon. Two games that are getting delayed. One is Terminator Survivors that's getting delayed into an unknown date in twenty twenty five courses made

by the Nacon Milan team. This is sort of like a kind of like multiplayer take on Terminator that's set between the two Terminator films. You can't play it solo, but and then you got Keendom Come. Deliverance two has

been delayed to February eleven, twenty twenty five. Of course, the first one got a lot of short shrift because of the whole controversy about you know, we don't have ethnic other ethnic origins in medieval times at that time, so we're only doing you know, basically white people in this game, and it was very much like almost sort of like a sim of that time, whereas this game, at least in the trailers, they've tried to make have

like more fun with it. And I've actually been kind of more interested in this game after they saw that latest Troy that they showed to think it was that the Akilli thing where it was like them just having a bunch of goofs and bloopers and stuff like that of the game. So I don't know, I'm kind of like mixed on it now or as opposed to I was kind of like, oh, this is gonna be just like the first one that I don't care, you know, you care about either one of these at all.

wasn't good. You know, they still have Assassin Screen Shadows coming out later, which those things usually come out well and are well received. But another game that kind of came out and I feel like Ubisoft hyped it up, but there wasn't a lot of high behind XT Defiant and what do you know, Unfortunately, folks that work in that studio, they have had to have some of their folks laid off and it sucks to see. Of course, this is the Ubisoft San Francisco and North Carolina Red

Storm Entertainment. The San Francisco group are the ones that are behind, like Rocksmith, which they just released like a thing on consoles to finally put that on consoles, and then Tough Book Fracture but Hole, which that was a what was game for its time. They also canceled that division Heartland that the Red Storm team was working on, and it was surprising back then that they didn't announce the layoffs when they canceled that thing, but I guess they tried to not to, and now they kind of

can't help it. Igimot kind of just you know, said that due to how much they have to be increased in what they make and what they don't, that's why they had to cancel it. But always sucks to see that people are getting laid off. And that's that's kind of been the trend, you know, Yeah, every time I come on, Yeah, we can't escape it and the magnet

for that kind of thing. Finally here. This is just a funny story and I brought out just because Randy's also a retro collector that's in Saudi Arabia Ibraheim Almasar, a video game collector was able to connect four hundred and forty four consoles to one TV, various different at switchers and all this stuff. And this goes from the man of us honesty, which obviously, if people don't know, is the first set of the first video game console. Uh,

and then obviously to the PF five Slim that exists. Now, do you have a record of how many consoles you have?

can like buy your way into these record things. It's not like the cool thing that it used to be where it really felt like you were breaking a record. Now it's like companies can even block other people from breaking your record, which is ridiculous. But uh, yeah, I guess when you have the money like this person does in Saudi Arabia, you can definitely do that.

But looking forward to I guess next week. Aside from that, you got Dustborn as well, which got some press at the Xbox events, which is kind of like kind of like punkish narrative game made by the Chrontic Dream folks, so you know that might actually be pretty good there as well, a Guild Wars two expansion for the folks that are still playing Gild Wars. You know, that's amazing

that that game is still existing as well Concord. You know, I don't know how many people are really that excited to play Concord at this point, but you know, hey, that's coming out this week. Rise of the Turner War as well, and a few other like smaller things and another tennis game Tiebreak, the Official Game of the ATP and WTA ads like tennis games have really made a comeback. Like it's like, you know, top Spin came out not too long ago.

not sure us. Like I say, open world games are usually not my jam, but being Star Wars and you be Stop one, should you be Stoff One? Should be part of their service, so so why not, you know, but all right, Mandy, you want to promote yourself, here.

figured out which one was the overall winner. And then on Thursday we start our new Bad Bracket Eliminators show, basically the same theme that we have on the previous Monday, just in a trivia style deal where they try to guess what is on the top twenty four list of a certain subject. So we'll see how that goes a lot shorter of an episode on Thursday. So just trying to get more content out.

against the max of the other shows as well. And well, we'll see y'all later. Until then, enjoy games gone Bye,
