Game Scoop! 840: New Nintendo E-slop Games

0:04Welcome back. No. What's up everybody? Welcome to IGN Game Scoop. I'm your host, Damon Hatfield. Joining me this week are Sam Claiborne. Hey, it's good to be back. Justin Davis. Scoop. And Mark Medina. I'm here, Damon. We've got a great show for you this week. As teased by a teaser trailer earlier this week, the Nintendo Seal of Quantity has returned with a fresh batch of Nintendo e-slop as Sam... We got a trailer? Yeah, I saw that trailer. There was a teaser trailer for you. It was good. I saw it on Facebook. so that'll be coming up and then um i've read a really weird headline this week that i have to share with the class and we've got some good listener mail but first on sam's recommendation i've been playing dispatch and it's great yeah how many episodes are you in three there's eight episodes i've been three yeah that's a great place to stop just oh i just do one i just do like one a night they take like an hour what do you mean stop no no i don't mean stop playing personally i'm just saying you've gotten a good you've gotten a good taste for it yeah yeah it's I've been doing like one a night, they last about an hour.

1:08And this wasn't really on my radar. I don't know, like Mark, Justin, if either of you check this out. Yeah. I started playing it over break and then was out of town and stuff. But like I'm excited to pick it up and finish it. Yeah. So I'll talk about it a little bit because like I said, this was kind of a blind spot for me. But it's from Ad Hoc Studios, which is former Telltale Devs. So it's a very Telltale type game, you know, adventure. you watch a lot of it but that's fine it's really high quality it's made with you know critical roles involved somehow I don't know what they're somehow but it feels I watched their show The Legend of Vox Machina the animated show which is like a comedy D &D type show and very similar type of comedy here but it's really good it's like really well written it's fun the premise is our main character who's played by Aaron Paul oh yeah it's a world war superhero so it's kind of like Invincible or the boys.

2:03Superheroes exist and they're employed by companies. Aaron Paul is the main guy. He's a superhero, but he doesn't have any superpowers. He just has a giant mech suit, but his mech suit gets destroyed, so he can't superhero anymore. So he goes to work as a dispatch at the company that sends the superheroes out to fight crimes. First of all, I don't know if you agree, Sam, it's just nice to hang out with Aaron Paul again. A hundred percent. He's such a welcoming, great voice and a little bit well very different character but just still like has this kind of cleverness to him and a friendliness which is interesting when he's even being a dick i just think he's really he's really attractive as a personality in this game yeah it's great i mean aaron paul's got a great voice and you can tell he's taking it very seriously he's another animation work like like bojack horseman right so he's great and then also jeffrey wright is in it as he has a completely different character just like yeah a completely different character from anything you've ever seen him in he's great He plays a superhero, like a speedster, who all the years that he was running around fast, he didn't realize it was also accelerating his lifespan.

3:06So he's only in his 30s, but he's an old man, and he's great. He's hilarious. And it becomes a point of a lot of jokes, and it's really good. Yeah, it's super good. So it's episodic, just like Walking Dead or the old Telltale games were. And you watch a lot. You make dialogue choices, and then so-and-so will remember that. Don't move around. So it's different than Walking Dead that way. You're never controlling. You don't actually walk around. And it's a good thing. Yeah. It's less video gamey. I mean, you know, whereas Walking Dead was like, you know, a video game that was sort of like a television show.

3:41This is a lot more of like an interactive television show, I would say. Yes. Like the video game elements definitely take the backseat, which again, I would say it's a good thing. Like treat it more like a season of television. If this were just a season of television, it would still be good. If it weren't a game at all. I completely agree. in fact i think it's a better take on this than boys oh i love this i love the spin-off of gen b i love everything about it i think this universe even in this little like dabbling in it and how they handle it's just it's better acted it's more interesting and it has a bigger heart in the right places and still has the gross stuff and all that stuff yeah i i had like never even heard of it and then one of my co-workers was like are you guys going to do the the dispatch finale tomorrow and I like he was just talking about it like it was a TV show.

4:24I was so confused. Well, I'm a little confused too. I mean, obviously this blows past you in trailers and stuff because it doesn't look like a game, right? That's that's a problem for it. But it's it was I did see the buzz at the time. Like I was not I was aware of it once it came out, but I did not. I was not aware of it until it came out. And also the decision to release it episodically like these episodes were so clearly done. You know, they could have just released it as one thing and they chose to cut because like what the episodes came out either weekly or bi-weekly, like very, very quickly.

4:54Like they were coming out with episode after episode. And so I think that that was smart. Like unlike Telltale where like those came out once a month and it's like, they were making it as they went. Like, okay, we need to go like finish the next episode now. Yeah. But this is, this is clearly not that right. This was, this was their choice to make it more television. Like I'd be like, come back in a week or two for the next chapter. So then it has this overlay to it. So that's this extremely high quality dramatic action superhero show that you watch. You choose consequences and the consequences matter.

5:28There's two romantic interests and like that really matters in it. I have chose a court of course, chose the famous beautiful blonde woman, which would be no surprise. And I I there's another character who's like a a villain that's become a good a good hero that is the other romantic interest. So then but but there's an overlay, which was kind of a little bit of a real time strategy game where you're sending your dispatches out to things and it doesn't make sense. It's not intuitive. And then once it is intuitive by the end of the game, like I really liked it enough that I would play more of it.

6:04Like it was really fun and I got really good only by the last chapter. I was getting like totally like bad ranks because it's kind of having fun, like screwing up because it doesn't matter the story is going to progress anyway and um i don't know it was like low stakes and really funny and cool and basically yeah you have to decide what your heroes who all stats they may be a talker they may be a you know a good fighter they may be really fast yeah and then you just read the description it's like a cat stuck in a tree and it's like well who's gonna be best for that and there may be a little hint like you know the owner is freaking out and like you can talk that to the owner about it right and so you talky person but it might be like the cat turns out to be i think this is a real instance like the cat's actually a tiger it's like what are you doing it's like punch the shit out of it if you have if you sent a fighter that might actually work but if not you're going to get attacked your fighters gonna get knocked out it's smart yeah yeah that's the there is an actual dispatch game sort of like in the middle of each episode surrounded by the story that you watch and like sam said it takes a couple episodes to get the hang of the game but i think once you realize it's clever.

7:11It's clever. It's fun. It's kind of a real-time strategy sort of exercise. It's good. I think I remember reading, I think it's been a big hit. I think it's been a big success. Bodes well. Sorry it's late to Scoop Nation, but better late than never. I really think people that listen to this show will find a lot to connect with, with this game specifically. It's a good Scoop game. A real Scoop gem. Like I said, it was from Ad Hoc. It's their first release as Ad Hoc, but ad hoc was formed in 2018. So it took them a long time. They're also ostensibly working on the Wolf Among Us 2. So I don't know.

7:47It's taking a long time. Maybe that, maybe, maybe this is a reason why Wolf Among Us 2 is taking so long. I don't know. Yeah. Or that this is took, took precedent. Yeah. Yeah. But do you know, where is Torrance, California where it takes place? My next door neighbor where I live in Redondo beach. It's the next city over. Oh, wow. That's another point. Yeah. So it feels, I'm like, solving crimes in my own backyard in this game. It's great. Is it? So they go to a bar called Sardine, which is like, that's an actual venue I've played and been to, but I don't think it's the same thing. Have you got to the episode yet?

8:23I don't think so. Because that's like not in Torrance. And it's, yeah, it's confusing. Anyway, I can't tell if it's real locations or not. Torrance has all the best Asian food in the South Bay. Nice. anyway that's dispatch i'm enjoying that anyone else playing anything they want to shout out i mean i think mark and i are both playing hightail yeah yeah which one is that is that the one that like is blown up that's the minecraft one the minecraft yeah clone okay yeah um it's it's cool i the the one of the first lines in our review is uh that it's just minecraft 2 and that is 100 correct yeah like content wise it is far below minecraft obviously because minecraft has had so long to like add stuff and this is extremely early access it's only this survival mode you'll go into certain places and it'll just be like this is a work in progress you can't do this yet it doesn't launch with adventure the this game's whole main way it's going to differentiate itself from minecraft is that it's a lot more sort of progression oriented and rpg oriented and it's gonna have dungeons and stuff for you to go out in the world to do that's its whole thing and none of that's in the game yet like anytime you're in the world and i think our review in progress talks about this you'll find like an entrance to a dungeon or you'll find like you know some cool ruin and it literally has like an under construction sign that says like work in progress on it and you just can't go in so like you can farm animals they don't do anything yeah you can ride a horse but when you get off it just runs away i'm really loving it like the game is really polished it's really good it's really impressive it has um i actually like the building more than i like the building in minecraft so it's kind of unbelievable that like it almost embarrasses mojang and minecraft in some ways where like animations feel smoother and the building feels a little bit more robust and there's small quality of life features i don't know if you saw this mark but like if you're in a crafting table trying to build this that or the other it'll automatically pull thing the crafting table will have access to and see things that are in nearby storage chests and like people have been asking for that in minecraft for literally a decade and like this game that's been in early access for one day just did it so like but but it's not really much of a it's like it's extremely early access like there's just not kind of much to it yet from a gameplay perspective like even though it's been developing for like eight years yeah like 10 years um it's it's like yeah i watched the whole story and it's like i i it's not in development for eight years it was just announced eight years ago and went through a little bit of a limbo well and they like this this developer it's a it's a crazy story like the very short version is that they were acquired by riot so like the league of legends developer and publisher bought the developer they owned them and funded the game for years and years and years and then it was stuck in like development hell and they were like redoing the engine from scratch and then eventually riot said now we're done like we're canceling the game we're shutting it down and that was last year and the original developer brought it back and then six months later is just able to release it yeah yeah like it seems crazy to be like like why somebody should do that with half-life 3 yeah yeah and so i'm like there's all kinds of little details like just there's more decorations and like bits and bobs like sort of in the dungeons and around you know that you can place in your house like i really like it um but i played it for two or three evenings i mean since it came out so yeah this is like two two evenings i've played it and i feel like i've kind of seen i'm like okay like well i'll come back in a year when there's more game like there's kind of not too much more for me to do yeah gameplay wise it feels very like very updated the combat is actually fun um you can jump much higher you vault if if you know like you you like a leg grab and stuff like that yeah it seems to have numbers when you attack yeah yeah yeah and justin mentioned with the storage it's got the the beautiful thing that i've only other i know i'm sure it's in other games but i've only ever seen it v rising where it's like the add stacks feature where you just like open a storage container and you click a button and everything that is in your inventory automatically gets added if there's already stuff in there so you don't have to like sort through it just makes everything faster well the minecraft is kind of in that world of warcraft slump right where it's like it can't really change because people are just so used to how it is and it runs on everything so this feels like an actual like update to to minecraft i i was totally impressed i liked it more than i thought i would but there's just there's just not much content yet and so for me it's really going to be like you know how quickly like are we waiting months for them to be like oh we added new mobs and we do, you know, improve the farming or is it going to, are they going to be able to get updates out quickly?

13:15Like that's going to determine how much time I spend in it. But so far, so good. Great. You know, their numbers are huge. So they have like this like huge player base and a bunch of streamers playing it, which must make every single company in earth be like, should we have just made a Minecraft clone? What are we doing? Yeah. This is allowed. We can just do this. I've heard. And again, a lot of this isn't in the game yet, but I've heard that this is Terraria, but Minecraft where like if like Terraria has like 30 some bosses in it and it's a lot more adventure oriented and RPG oriented but it's a 2D game right whereas this is this is trying to be that but in a 3D sort of voxel engine I mean that sounds super cool yeah I mean I hope it delivers on that I like it my only like thing and this is purely as a video guides maker for IGN this is a a very unique problem is that i was like excited to cover this game and then there's just like not a whole lot to it and my fear is that the the release was bungled a little and that by the time they added venture mode it's gonna it's gonna be really tough to get people to come back and i'm sure that's something they thought about but my guess is because their first like thing was like this you know releasing the game funded the next two years of development it kind of makes me think that because they went indie they're like we have to release something because we need cash flow to be able to do the rest of the stuff that's the attitude i have as well and that that's why i'm going to keep an eye on it and it's like you know it's january 15th if like hey the first week in february they're like we added a dungeon and then in march they added a new enemy and then they add a boss like if they're able to get that stuff out at a at a good clip then this will then this will be big but if they can't then then i think i agree interest is going to kind of fade remember tell tales minecraft story mode i do i reviewed it no way yeah that was one of the last games i reviewed for igian wow yeah i don't look at the work in progress i don't know the answer to this justin maybe you do but like how are they allowed to do this like it's just minecraft and they're selling it i mean there's been games that were closer copies like it's it's i mean it is just minecraft but like you know the farming works different the crafting works different the building works a little bit different like you know the furnaces work a little bit different like so i don't think i mean there's been closer copies but yesterday i got stuck in a cave and i couldn't find my way out so what i did was i chopped above me and then jumped and built under me yeah just like i did in minecraft and it's like i don't know i'm like huh i don't know i mean i i think that these games are as close as like battlefield and call of duty i was just gonna say you know we could be talking about minecraft and if you put this footage up i would think it's minecraft we could be talking about call of duty but if you put up battlefield 6 i wouldn't know the difference i mean but you but damon you don't play either of those games like this this i like like look it's like minecraft in the sense that it's a blocky 3d world but the art styles are different i would say like this is this is higher res and has a higher level of detail exactly i it does look a little bit better than Minecraft does to my eye.

16:24Yeah, when like, because there was like rain falling and it's not, it's cute in Minecraft, so I'm not dogging out, but instead of like the little like kind of, you know, blocky raindrops hitting the ground, like it actually just looks like rain going in the grass type of deal. It's like Minecraft 64. Man, I think Minecraft is Minecraft 64. Yeah, this is Minecraft. Until you go back and play Nintendo 64 games and then you realize how far off. this uh sam anything you've been playing uh yeah i also finished um keeper oh yeah um which was double fine yeah yeah and i uh yeah i mean that game is unbelievable looking it's very very slow and puts me to sleep but it's it ended up being like a interesting you know kind of like fraggle rock type world that you walk through and a bunch of crazy stuff happens and it is interesting what I like about it is it means that double fine can make a bunch of little dinky tiny games and every once in a while one will be amazing which is what they should be doing yeah someone mentioned stacking recently that was like the the nesting doll game right like that was great yeah and then they have like a mech game where they had to change the name like iron assault or something oh yeah it was the next be like game but then they had to like They didn't costume quest.

17:44They rebranded it. Yeah. Yeah. Something like that. I was trying to think of that. What the name of that game was. I don't remember back. Iron brigade. I don't know. I think in hindsight. Puzzles or is it just like things to interact with? Yeah, but they're like the slowest, easiest puzzles you could ever imagine. So things to interact with. Yeah. Okay. It's really like a, it's almost like a scavengers rain type thing. They like made, they made an environment. They really want to show it to you. everything's thought of and interesting and fits in that world but it's not you know it's not really gamified too strong yeah so flower journey those types of things yeah yeah

18:26okay here's a headline i read today that uh gave me pause this is this is on ign.com echo the dolphin creator confirms multiple games in development they're making they're making multiple Echo the Dolphin games? And they didn't have an Echo Direct to announce them? Also, isn't the Echo the Dolphin creator just Sega? Am I being a fake fan right now? No, the guy. The actual guy. He works at a different developer. Yeah, Sega published, but the actual guy that made Echo the Dolphin back in the day. Apparently, last summer, the creator of Echo the Dolphin pleased many fans by announcing that not only were remasters of the original games underway, but a third installment was also in development.

19:07There's only two? there were two like mainline ones and then a couple edutainment games on the genesis there was like a i feel like there was like a wee one or is that endless ocean i'm getting yeah i don't i think there was about sega cd i think there was a third one for the dreamcast but apparently not it's not like a that's right third game i don't know i spoil something about echo the dolphin yeah of course i know i are you gonna say aliens Yes, yes, I am. So the first level, that's what we're watching now. If you're watching, you may not, you know, you're, I've never got past this level.

19:48Is it a Metroidvania? No. Dolphin game. The first, the first level. So first of all, Echo the Dolphin is impossible. It's an incredibly hard game. It's one of those 16 bit games that like, it's like, it's like the Lion King where like nobody ever beat the first couple levels of it. And so, but it's gorgeous and beautiful and he controls really well. So all these kids have like fond memories of like, yeah, I love that game and going around on this reef and, you know, avoiding the sharks and avoiding these bad guys. Like the back half of the game, I only know this because I watched a YouTube Let's Play of it.

20:18I never got there myself. Do you only get past this octopus by going slow? I never do that. I don't know. And like, it turns out that it's aliens and the plot goes completely off. It goes completely insane. And Echo gets like teleported into an alien spaceship. Yeah. And that's the plot of the game is that aliens sucked up all your dolphin things. That was the plot of everything. And you have to rescue them. It's great. Sounds like we need a gritty reboot. Oh, boy. Yeah. The reason why I was surprised by the headlines, I would be surprised if there was demand for one new Echo game. They're making three Echo games.

20:54And what does it mean to remaster a 16-bit game? What are they going to do to it? Yeah, I don't know. Make it worse. That's what they did with Final Fantasy, right? Like they made a bunch of, before the pixel, before pixel remasters, I mean, even they did like really clean flash graphics for them. Yeah. But they looked not good. I think. Yeah. People were mad about them. Those steam ones. Yeah. But the pixel remasters look good. Maybe this game would be an amazing pixel remaster with like a super pixelated in depth scrolling, you know, parallax background. Yeah. Maybe when they do that, they can make the game good.

21:28Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. That's I'm being, I'm being such a hater. I don't know why. Tell me what to do. I mean, this hurts my thumb just thinking about me playing this on the Genesis controller. It was so, so lame. Yeah, I mean, for as much as I sort of make fun of Sonic the Hedgehog off and on over the years, like I was a Genesis kid growing up, so I had to I had to defend Echo on the on the on the playground. Well, I love how they talk like it's a silent movie. Like they go to talk and then it's like, yeah, you have a whole other screen. yeah they put this person is kicking ass i'm learning so much about echo the dolphin

22:091993 they put what that's a good move i i remember doing that one they put echo on xbla in like i don't know 2010 or something and hillary goldstein reviewed it and his review just says this game sucks basically yeah i don't know you can do any of this stuff you can put move things downwards and then use them to open areas like this is all blowing my mind right does is echo actually moving it or it would be a good metroidvania but the reason it's not is that it's kind of like these instances of like adventure game areas where you have to like do a bunch of things and then you go to the next area yeah i don't understand this whole like speed scrolling thing it's it's level that's blast processing mark it's oh that's right that's right the level does what nintendo yeah levels are just huge and impossible to understand is there no map there's no map you're like how would you get anywhere i don't remember that but there's a great map in egm 2 i'm sure yeah yeah yeah you're right okay anyway please be excited for three Echo the Dolphin games coming, apparently.

23:17All right. I don't think I will be. I've made my week. The Nintendo Seal of Quantity is your assurance. It is your assurance that literally no one at Nintendo is paying any attention to what games are being published on the eShop. We've got a new crop of great titles to highlight this week. And let's kick things off. Jobard, are you ready, Jobard? Do we need to stop down? Okay, we're just going to go down the list. First game we want to point out is Mom Life Simulator. And the first thing you'll see is just a real beautiful piece of AI slop has the key art that they used here. This is all these are just going to be that same AI face now.

24:00A lot of them do have that AI face, yeah. So Mom Life Simulator. Conquer chaos, unlock upgrades, and rule the family empire. Okay. that's what that's how they're selling this game welcome is that how it works welcome to the daily life of the most caring yet incredibly busy mom in this game you check on the role of a mother who tries to manage it all caring for her family keeping the house cozy and still finding a little time for herself oh my god baby looks dead for one this game is extremely sexist. For two, were the dad of the kid dead and she propped up the dead bodies because they were just sitting there.

24:46She's like, here, drink your whatever. It looks like the scene in Weapons. Yeah, it does look like that scene in Weapons. You can tell on the screenshot, there's even a typo. It says place plates won the table. Place plates won the table. The screenshot before that, she's making, you have to put the beef on the frying pan to make dinner this is mom life simulator everyone great oh it's on sale for 40 off it's only six bucks but sale ends in nine hours so i'll try to get this episode published as quickly as possible so scoop nation knows about this okay i mean at least at least this one looks like a real video game it kind of does it kind of has that like uh what are the you know like power wash sim kind of graphics where it's like kind of ultra realistic but house yeah house flipper was the one i was trying to think of they could that is it doesn't look like that they could they could rebrand this as trad wife simulator looks like trad like the cover just is already if you take that idea i want she's what's some of those profits She's in the kitchen.

25:59I've said this before. When we look at these games, I would think if you want to make video games, it's because you like video games already and you've played great games. Like you have to know that what you're making is not a great game. But also, whatever your game is, you don't want to have cool original artwork? Nope. Just slop it up with ChadGPG. That's fine. Throw that up there. Just slop it up. Slop it up. Sloppy steaks. We're going slopping, boys. They can't stop us from ordering a steak and water.

26:31That's what it is. Okay. That fridge looks rough. That was great. All the cooked food in the fridge. Oh, my God. This is already cooked. It's the best fridge ever. Yeah. All right. So that was Trad Life Simulator. The meat is just out. There's so much cross-contamination happening in this one picture. not a very good mom i'm just gonna say it sorry okay we all like triple a video games scoop nation loves triple a video games isn't it so annoying that you have to buy triple a video games individually well it's so good news it's so annoying the triple a games ultimate collection is now available finally every game you can just once with one simple purchase you get all the triple a games it's the ultimate collection you know games like world of solitaire knights and guns trash punk pixel cafe train traffic manager they're all here together i love trash punk i i suspect that they don't even know that that's an industry term that triple a games and they're just trying to get to the head of the alphabetic list yep yeah yeah like triple a plumbing company or it's ah games because they're saying open up we're gonna shovel

27:52eat your slop say ah okay okay i'm gonna say something controversial oh here we go these don't look that bad to be honest with you okay one of them looked exactly like nuclear throne uh or bro force i think that was trash punk's name like the yeah i mean these honestly don't look that bad look at those animations so basically one of these games was like the top selling thing on Wii. Remember that? It came with a controller and it had a bunch of crappy games in it and everybody bought it. What does AAA games cost? It's going for a steal right now, Justin. Usually it costs$80. It's$80? Usually it costs $80, but it's on sale for 91 % off.

28:37Just$6.99. That's a good idea. I quickly Googled one. These are all available on the eShop individually. This is the compilation Yeah Go back to the title The main key art that has the title on it For some reason The outline of the title really bugs me How each individual A Is outlined and then the rounded edges around the G And the S It just bugs me So which of these games has mild blood At that ESRB rating Maybe Solitaire Solitaire Maybe you could crash the motorcycle game trash punk. Maybe you can get ran over by the train. Okay, this next game I selected because of the whiplash that you get from the title.

29:22This game is called Battle Tanks Animal Wars. Oh, I loved Battle Tanks back then. Battle Tanks Animal Wars is this one. They didn't spell it with an X? Yeah, missed opportunity there. Save the animal kingdom from mole-fueled doom. boom okay moles i don't see any animals no oh it's got a minecraft style look where are the animals how do they do this john travolta and pulp fiction gif where are all the animals yeah some of these four players go single screen co-op that's cool oh this was just released yesterday too this is brand new you just found it is it already on sale oh yeah 40 off three bucks three bucks i'm sensing a tactic in discounts similar to amazon okay so it's like bomber man i don't know there's no animal hold on there's animals in the portraits there yeah monkey and a raccoon i think they're in the tanks oh the animals are the tanks got it okay well they're in the tank got it right okay they're driving them with a little pause yeah okay i really like this next one this next one has really high production values this is clothing store simulator and you're going to love the key art for this.

30:42It looks so good. Jesus. Simulators are everywhere these days. TCG card shop simulator. That was a real video game. Build the boutique of your dreams. This seems fine, Damon. I mean, look, does this look like a good video game? No. But I feel like the last couple times we did this seal of quantity, it's like they were literal scams. So the fact that you're showing us actual video games this time is like, I'm like, this doesn't seem too bad. I just can't imagine playing this on a Switch. That looks like a PC game. What I'm confused about is how do you get a game to look this lo-fi? It's a style.

31:27It's a trend, right? This is a trend? I just think it looks bad. They should run it through the Unreal Engine 5 processor. There's all of these, there's all these simulator games that are like everywhere now. Right? Well, yeah, this one looks just like the grocery store one. Yep. Yep. Grocery store. Except for that God awful logo. But they're not jokes. They're like really rote, boring simulators. It is interesting. Like work, like these work games, like, you know, but they're like, should we make it fun? They're like, no, just make it just look at that store. There's two, there's two outfits in that entire store.

32:02so you can tell they're going to roll it out that way they're like well first to start your business you're all going to have one sweater and one white belted long sleeve black shirt sell them and then they're like now you can put out three dummies with three outfits I can just feel the roll out. Alright this next one let me know if this title reveals what the inspiration for the game might have been. This game is called Need for Race.

32:33need for race street king street king wait that name is too obvious let's call it want for speed instead wow the slot artist looks great yeah yeah yeah like is he killing an animal oh it doesn't look anything like the cover no no his car's still covered in blood but uh yeah here we go this is this is more what i was hoping there you go do you think these companies sell one copy of these games that's what i i wonder that too do they sell even one one yeah who knows car doesn't have a shadow the sun is i don't know where the sun is nothing has a shadow i don't think it's an exaggeration to say that that city scape you know first of all those buildings are made out of four polygons and they look like twisted battle on the ps1 uh-oh yeah this looks like gta3 but like even worse yeah but there's infinite variations of this lo-fi racing game you know It's not even attempted.

33:32Like, well, this one has ducks in it. Aren't ducks funny? It's just nothing. There's nothing to it. What's interesting on the listing, there's a publisher listed, but no developer. Maybe the whole thing is just AI generated. The publisher developed it by going, make me a racing game with Fast and Furious cars. I would like to think that all of these are generated by some kind of video game college class. and they're like well here's how you can actually publish something on a nintendo platform they don't care nobody's watching the gates just just slop it up and then you get to do that for your your class thesis that would be the positive i've got a nissan z though i want one of those forever now i can yeah in need for race in virtual form all right two more here before uh two more here to show off so the next one is i picked this for two reasons sheriff park ranger and this one actually like just i'm saying the gameplay doesn't look terrible here but i picked this because we have another just magnificent piece of ai slop that they've used for their uh cover art here but also i'm pretty sure park rangers don't have a sheriff i don't think that's a real sheriff park ranger they made a they made a whole video game a whole real video game and then like should we pay somebody you know 200 to make us a logo and a piece of cover art like no i'm just going to slop it up.

34:56Yep. Made the game. But listen to the tagline for this game. Patrol deeper. React faster. Protect harder. What is the gameplay of this? Drive your patrol truck. Flash your lights and keep ordering the wild. Is his hat getting bigger? The truck and the hat have issues. I think that this may be a mod for Sneak King. He arrested somebody. Look at his hat right there. Can you go back to where he was in the car? That looks normal. That looked normal. And then there's the shot of him in the car. I thought it looked too small. Well, it probably is. And they'll fix it very soon. I think he's just wearing a big hat.

35:44The truck is his Hummer in the front and pickup in the back. It's being generated as he drives. Look at that!

35:57that is not how we look to the rest of the scene well maybe that's the progression yeah there you go

36:10okay man oh dude i'm on the team team hat now i was not on board with this but you're absolutely right at the end of the trailer it's tiny again so it's not telling you like if you play this game you can have wide hat it might just be wait you see it grow as he drives away it might be look at it look at it look at it one more time

36:36it's ready for a day day at the beach his wife is gonna love that hat yeah he goes from patrolling the forest to gardening like real fast i think you're right i think it's a south bar i think you're like how little that is look at this dinky new forest ranger with his tiny hat putting out their campfires okay that's you can't fish your where's your license that's sheriff park ranger i kind of want to play this one that was the best one so far that was good i'm crying all right i'll have one more joe hold off because the the key art to this one is the best the key art to this one is truly unbelievable so i'm gonna just read you this title first um okay this is the end of the beginning of courage reasoning and seaweed 10.
