4:35We'll see if that comes out. Some of your passions right now I like that. Yeah but this is me testing the waters seeing what people are into trying to see the creators that are doing things people were shouting out your guy that you guessed it that you did KHD with I think one time. 8-bit something? Yeah let me get it to me. Ronnell from 8-bit Closed Fist I love Ronnell and his team what they do. I also shouted out dq roman who i think does a really good job give me kisses give me smooches at the end he always says okay uh give me kiss uh and it's fun they they both do very good video game kind of commentary in the short form which i enjoy watching yeah and so that's that's the idea is like i'm just trying to explore things figure out how to do my passions in a way that is evolving with the medium i think that's my fault you bless my my i think one of my big faults is that i get stubborn as far as like what i want to make in growing up but kind of like you see the blessing show right yeah i fucking I love making that kind of content.

5:28I grew up watching John Oliver and Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart. And, like, I wanted, like, for such a long time, I wanted to make that for video games. And recently I looked at KFGD and I was like, well, KFGD is pretty much just that for video games. That's your baby. This is your baby. And so, you know, I think I kind of locked myself into the I want to make 10-minute, 20-minute long YouTube video essays. Now I'm trying to, like, you know, evolve. Allow myself to be valuable. Allow myself to grow. We're going to see our boy Blessing grow, everybody. So go out there and support him on any of the stuff that he does.

7:28Blessing Adeoye Jr.:stand by we'll talk about more more about that later after games cast is the kind of funny podcast then the stream after that is co-op kaiju horror cooking sim if you're a kind of funny member today's gregway is being done by roger thank you to our patreon producers carl jacobs omega buster and delaney the psalm twining today we're brought to you by kind of funny in review but we'll tell you about that later for now let's begin with what is and forever will be the roper report it's time for some news we have six stories today a baker's dozen starting with our number one the next bioshock game changes leaders after development turmoil this is jason schreier at bloomberg take two interactive software is overhauling parts of the next bioshock game and shaking up management after senior executives expressed they were unhappy with its development according to people familiar with the situation the new bioshock which is being produced by cloud chamber recently failed a review by executives at 2k games the publishing subsidiary of take two said the people who weren't authorized to discuss private information and asked not to be identified The game's narrative was identified as an area that was particularly in need of improvement and will be revamped in the coming months, the people said.

8:50Blessing Adeoye Jr.:2K Games subsequently ousted studio head Kelly Gilmore and moved creative director Hogarth DeLaPlante to a publishing role. In a recent all-hands meeting, Cloud Chamber staff were told that the company needs to become more agile and efficient, leading to worries that layoffs may follow, the people said. quote we're working we are working hard to set bioshock up for the best possible future 2k games said in a statement in response to questions from bloomberg quote right now we have a good game but we are committed to delivering a great one we're working closely with leadership at the studio to define this path end quote the spokesperson confirmed the leadership change and added that the company is quote fully committed to ensuring we deliver a bioshock game that exceeds the lofty expectations of our fans end quote 2k games was also developing a remake of the first bioshock game but that was shelved earlier this year according to people familiar with the plans mike how hard do you think it is to make a bioshock game i was obviously making any video game a very hard thing right but bioshock in particular blessing in 2025 it is probably very difficult to walk the tightrope that is creating a bioshock game yes of appeasing your corporate overlords while also having something to say that pushes up against what's happening in society uh yeah i'm sure that's a a tough one right now yeah yeah i i think you nail it as far as the juggling act i think it is yeah figuring out how to make something that you think is going to sell because it's a 2k game 2k they want results they want money right we want to make something that's going to be popular and something that's going to sit well with people um i think you also have big shoes to fill uh narratively when you talk about what um ken levine and that studio did with bioshock especially bioshock one right i think that's the one that really stands out to people but i would even extend it to infinite as well i know that was more of a controversial one because it was a different kind of action there but i infinite i would say still does has its fans right yeah i think trying to follow that up a decade later over a decade later infinite came out 2013 i want to say um and bioshock one came out years and years before that So you're following that up over a decade later with a new team, different team.

11:06And yeah, like, I think that's, I don't know how you land this. I don't know how you do this. Yeah, of course, as well. It's been a long time since the Bioshock craze, right? We have a new generation of gamers who don't really know that name and don't have the, hey, I've got to jump on this day one kind of remembrance like the old heads in video games do. And so it's a very interesting situation to be in. what a time we were in where we had Bioshock, the idea of a new Bioshock and Judas all up on our screens all the time it was the only thing we were talking about for like six months and then those projects are going to go dead silent because yeah, big lofty goals here to bring these kind of ideas back

11:47Blessing Adeoye Jr.:yeah, them saying this might have been you that highlighted it, right? Somebody told that the company needs to become more agile and efficient. Yeah, I highlighted that, you don't ever want to hear that you never want to hear that 2025 i can promise you that that is not what you want to hear uh that's a tough one right because in reality agile and efficient yeah sure we'd love to hear that right we want to be able to move we want to be able to adjust we want to make sure the team is working at its very best because that's our goal but in 2025 we know that's not what that means it means hey get ready we're going to cut a large percentage of all of you and you're going to figure out how to do the work and get this out to the finish line do you think we see Bioshock, this new Bioshock come out?

12:31If that is the case, if they're talking about layoffs, if they're talking about becoming more agile and efficient, do we even see this game? Yeah, Bless, that's a tough one because you'd love to say yes, right? You've put too much time and effort and money into it to not be there, right? You're talking about having a narrative, rewriting that, reworking that, and kind of massaging that to fit what you wanted to do, but at the same time, we've seen too many projects come and go where, yeah, it doesn't matter how far along you are in the process. Perfect dark. We can just cut you and just say, you know what?

13:04That's not going to fit it. We'll save whatever dollars we can. We'll move on to the next one, especially when we talk about take two interactive and that lineup, right? You think of that, you think of 2K. You think of the sports games. You think of Borderlands, right? You think of like, we have the mega all-stars here. We don't really have room to play with failure, especially in today's video game industry where failure is really tough and not really the best option situation-wise where we'll just cut your whole studio right afterwards. So yeah, this is a tight rope that this team is walking to try to bring back Bioshock, which I know a lot of old people love.

13:40I don't know if that's like, it reminds me of bringing back Perfect Dark where it's like, yeah, but do the young kids love that? I don't know on that one. That's the tough thing is I think they can. I think Bioshock, I think, is such a great game at its core, but it also does things where i'm like i i i think you you touch on something interesting there as far as perfect dark where we go back to perfect dark right perfect dark at its time was fucking fantastic has such a high i think it still has one of the highest metacritics like it's that kind of game that came out and made people go damn y 'all had something here like this is something fantastic and solid right but years and years passed and trends come and go and all this shit right and bioshock i think is one of those things that is special as like a singular thing right like bioshock is almost one of those things where i don't know if you ever needed to follow up on bioshock i'm somebody who really liked infinite at the time yeah i thought infinite was fantastic but also one of the reasons why people uh didn't like infinite was just that hey this is a different take on something that felt so specific bioshock was had the immersive sim elements bioshock was slow bioshock was a bit more cerebral in terms of like the moment to moment you have these different abilities and you're hiding and like it was it was so atmospheric right you see the shadow of like an enemy or whatever and you're like what the fuck is that and then scurries away and you're like what and then you go look for it and it's not there and you're like damn like there's atmosphere here there's an energy to this game it feels like it's such a singular bespoke thing that i don't know how you iterate on it and make it as special as that original game?

15:16And does that even speak, right? Like, how do you make a Bioshock today that speaks widely? And not just to the me's and the you's and our audience, but like to the millions and millions of people that they probably want to reach with this thing. That's a million dollar question. That is the fun that the team is struggling with right now. To figure out. Fair, Courtney. I have an idea. You get the guy, Ken Levine, right?

15:42Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. You give him a studio and you let him do something that's kind of Bioshock, but not really. Maybe move away from Bioshock, because that was a title that meant something way back when. Maybe not as much now. Maybe have your own... Ken Levine can figure out his new gameplay. Yeah. And some new interesting gameplay mechanics. I'm just going to throw out a title there. Judas. I like Judas. Judas is a good title. Yeah. Yeah, I like Judas as a title. I mean, I always thought it was very weird that they're developing both of these. Yeah, right, because Judas is being published by 2K. I believe so.

16:22I'll double check if I'm wrong, Chad. But, like, I always thought that was very weird.

16:25Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I also think it's bizarre, and I think it's like the having your cake. So it's being developed. Well, I'm saying developed and published by Ghost Story Games. So, Chad, hit me with the correction on, like. On their website, though, they have a Take-Two logo there that takes you to Take-Two Interactive. Okay, so was it under Take-Two but not under 2K? is that the deal even with that though like i'm with barrett that i think i i do think it's bizarre i think maybe it's to have your cake and eat it too of we have the ip biotoc and we want to see more out of that ip because it's an ip that has potential but we have the creator ken levine and we want him to like do what he's going to do and make something that is going to evoke that so you try to do both those things at the same time and maybe it's them being like hey one of these is going to hit at least hopefully yeah or you can go 70 of the way and say you know what one of you looks really good the other one you're now done yeah which i think puts more i think puts bioshock even more on the chopping block as far as of course uh this ain't coming together well we got judas like judas is gonna come out and that seems more far along um i wonder if you can talk about this bioshock remake did you need another remake that was gonna be my exact question okay because i just played the recent remake uh you know it holds up it's very fun you're talking about the remaster that came out for like ps4 like do we need another one i mean i would say no i would unless you're making that shit look incredible i haven't played the remaster so i don't know how much better that looks but even the original game i thought looked really really good yeah i mean this one looks good sure it's not 2025 standards that you would live up to but it still makes an old game look very good and it's fun to play it has the story it has everything you could ask for uh i am shocked i don't know why we would need this it's probably just a try to get it back in the mind stay of everybody and try to get you back into it right yeah just put big daddy and some other character in fortnite and you got don't worry about it you got the youth back in yeah that's how you do it i bioshock is such an incredible game bioshock though and this is going to be my medium take i don't know if it's a hot hot take okay i'm cooking it right now as i talk I'm going to say it's a hot take I don't know if Bioshock needs to be a franchise I think Bioshock can be A great game And I think it can come out and be maybe one of the Best first person shooters or best however you want To categorize it I don't know if you need to keep iterating on Bioshock I don't want to see the big daddies in Fortnite I don't want to see I know they've not announced a Bioshock movie yet But I don't need a Bioshock movie I don't need a Bioshock character in a fighting game You know what I mean Just let Bioshock be Bioshock maybe remaster it every three generations and call it a day.

19:04That's a fair take. Yeah, sometimes you have a great game and you can just let it rest. You've done a great job. We're happy with you. Everything needs to be a franchise, Michael. Everything. That's the problem that we live in this place. I need to snort that money. Snorting money. Well, they got two options here. Judas is really underneath the umbrella. You just double down on that one. Wait, somebody says they have announced a Bioshock show.

19:26Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Did they really announce a Bioshock show? I thought we talked about that. No way. That sounds like something that we've reported on like five or six or talked about five or six years ago and then just like never went anywhere. People are saying, yeah, they have a movie in the works. They hit 100 % of announced about movie. Hit me in the kind of funny.com slash you're wrong with an article or like a link to exactly what it is. Because I want to look more into that because we probably talked about that. But we've also talked about every video game. I thought it was semi recently. It might have been in the last year.

19:54Again, we've had a million of these stories. This was May 27, 2025. Everything we know about Netflix upcoming Bioshock movie. Jesus Christ. From GameSpot.com. Bioshock director, this is May 15th this year. This is IGN.com. Says, Bioshock director says we're in a pretty good place with Netflix's tricky movie adaptation. Terminator Dark Fate screenwriter. Oh. Is penned the most recent draft. First announced in February 2022. Oh. Wow. Wow. Wow, you were right on that.

20:26Blessing Adeoye Jr.:February 20th, okay. Very long time ago. Well, we'll see about that. Story number two. darksiders 4 and other things announced at thq nordic's digital showcase this is emron khan at restart.run emron khan emron the don thq nordic held a digital showcase revealing much of its upcoming portfolio including a darksiders game that has been teased for over 15 years now i'm gonna go through the list of games announced here starting with spongebob titans of the tide it's a new 3d platformer starring spongebob and patrick where the two can switch with each other at the press of a button uh launches on ps5 xbox series x pc and switch 2 on november 18th 2025 in a few months wait that's this year that's this year november this year they also got the hoffman that's crazy how does this hit you barrett uh very excited for this one uh i forget the title of the other 3d platformer that came out a couple years ago that was kind of the spiritual successor The Cosmic something?

21:25Cosmic Shake, yeah. And that was a really solid time. It didn't blow me away, but it was one of those, if this was out when I was growing up, I would be as in love with this game as I was Battle for Bikini Bottom. Nice. This team knows what they're doing. And so to see another one of these, and it's coming out this year, absolutely. And I love that we actually get to play as Patrick. I think Battle for Bikini Bottom, you could play as Spongebob, Patrick, and Sandy. correct me if i'm wrong um so yeah i'm i'm stoked for this this is awesome there's a lot of hoff in

21:58Blessing Adeoye Jr.:this trailer there's a lot of hoff in this there's also very naked patrick which you know which is actually yeah i'm into this this is my first time seeing this trailer this looks fun yeah i love that we're we're getting there to the era of nickelodeon games where they can actually come out and be pretty decent yeah um of course 3d platformer collect-a-thon yeah give me a solid 3D Spongebob platformer. Even Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, the second one that came out, pretty decent. We're getting better as they go. That's one of my complaints with Nickelodeon games. It's like, yo, you're Nickelodeon.

22:29Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Why do all your games suck? I love that we're here. More from the showcase. We got Sacred 2 Remaster announced. We got another trailer for The Eternal Life of Goldman. If you don't remember, that's the cool-looking 2D platformer that kind of has a Cuphead-esque art style to it. Looks really cool. You're playing And I presume this is Goldman that you're playing as. You're playing as an older dude. Looks good. Looks really good. We got The Guild Europa 1410. That got a largely live-action trailer. Gothic 1 Remake was announced. A remake of the 2001 PC game that was first... Sorry, it was first announced in 2020.

23:05Blessing Adeoye Jr.:It is coming to PS5, PC, and Xbox in early 2026. But a demo is available on consoles right now. Then also, we got a trailer for Gothic Classic 1 through 3. the entire trilogy is coming to ps4 ps5 xbox one and xbox series for the first time in 2026 we got a trailer for re-animal i'm really looking forward to this one uh-huh that one's coming to pc ps5 xbox series x switch to in early 2026 this is the one from the little nightmares devs and it looks fucking awesome i'm all about this we got fate keeper showing up uh imran writes about this one as is trendy to do the trailer begins by bragging that fate keeper is being made by only 10 people a number i am pretty sure i do not believe that said the first person rpg looks interesting and then uh they ended it all with darksiders 4 the big announcement of the show the darksiders series is finally making good on the cliffhanger teaser from the first game back in 2010 the short teaser employs the dialogue from the original game's ending and shows all four horsemen emerging from a fire the developer is gunfire games which is a studio largely made up of developers from the former vigil studio which made the first two darksiders games no target date was announced but the platforms at the end of the trailer said pc xbox series x and ps5 speaking of franchises darksiders four they made a fourth one good for them what you got to say mike they got a lot well they technically already had four they had genesis as well oh you're right genesis wasn't was genesis that was the diablo like almost twin stick shooter vibe yeah but that was a main line that was like a you know they already have plenty and that's what i'm getting at are you are you wait are you are you a darksiders hater i mean i'm not a hater i'm just not like i'm not jumping into that it's been a long long time i think i played one and a little bit of genesis and that was about it yeah i mean really what i get from this is like yo shout out to thq saving those double a games that people talk about and want more of right hopefully it's smaller budget to make the game hopefully more people buy into it yeah we've seen that with space marine outsiders or what was the game that andy and you love outriders outriders games like that that like continue to find a little piece of the pie and somehow do well and like that's what we want more of yeah i now the the talk we had with zalofre nelson on gamescast a couple weeks ago right like was a very enlightening one because one of the things i really liked about what he was talking about was making games at a set scope right and like he makes games at a small scope but like he gets so creative with it and for him it's about all right what what is the budget what is the scale that we have how do we get the most out of this right how do we make games at a sustainable rate that is doable for us and also like make sense at this size and tsk nordic has always bewildered me because they're a company that shouldn't work right they're a company that like i i think is made and is more so i guess their owners i was gonna say kosh media and now i want to say play on where is the big i've lost track of all these names the big big guys is it kosh i don't remember are you sure it's not lord of the of the rings and friends lord of the rings and friends whatever the fuck they're called nowadays they've made really bad decisions okay they fucking acquired everybody they made a deal with saudi arabia that didn't go through allegedly like you remember all this shit that happened was it play on somebody says play on which cost you embracer thank you embracer embracer fucked everything up and i i feel for the publishers that are under embracer because i think when i look at some of these individual publishers i can see the vision even though it's weird even though you're out here making spongebob video games and dark side of his video games and fate keeper and gothic and sacred south park snow day south park snow truck and logistics simulator yeah like it all remnant from the ashes too but remnant from the ashes too right like andy will swear by that right like it somewhat feels like a house of cards a little bit where it's like oh damn this is all this is all gonna topple over you can't put out a bunch of games that hit that like six to seven in range and like you know have that keep your company afloat but if you're able if you're able to like make something special with that scale and go all right how do we make spongebob games that aren't fucking triple a but can satisfy that audience because you have the fucking spongebob ip and make it look fun and make it look interesting like that's what's working looks good why not bless why not why not yeah yeah like i'm looking at like darksiders i know darksiders has a fan base oh yeah like if you can make something that's to scale for that darksiders fan base and have it perform as well as it needs to.

27:50It doesn't need to sell 5 million. It doesn't need to sell 4 million. We don't need 100 million players. We don't need 100 million players. If we can make something at scale, that's good. Bring back the AA. Bring back the AA. Why don't you call up THQ Nordic? Have a sit-down interview with them. Learn about this. Because they seem to be the team that's identified that and they're trying to do that. Yeah, but I can't tell if they're doing a good job or not yet. Wait, I gotta give it some time. We gotta give it some time to simmer. We gotta see what the end results of all these things are. What I will say is you tell me there's a THQ Nordic showcase up until now, I've been like, I ain't watching that.

28:27We've seen these showcases from these Embracer publishers. No, I'm not watching that. After this showcase, I might tune in. Now you're like, damn, I missed. Now I'm like, damn, I would have wanted to see these get announced. Did we know that this was happening? No. Because all of these announcements were coming through when you and I were streaming Dead Take, and it was like, when was this announced that they were doing a showcase?

28:47Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I think they announced their showcase cases really early like i think there's not been announced in like may or june and they just did a bad job of reminding us and then they're like oh it's happening right now like oh shit spongebob all right cool uh mike we're gonna shift gears and talk about another flurry of announcements but before we get there i want to talk to you about patreon.com slash kind of funny and youtube.com slash kind of funny games where you can go and get the kind of funny membership which allows you to get shows ad free speaking of ads let us tell you about our sponsors This episode's brought to you by our own show, Kind of Funny in Review.

29:23It is our movie review show, and it is the best place to get all of our thoughts on all the latest in entertainment, Greg. And how has it been this year? It's been awesome, because I came back. Alien vs. Predator in review. Superman in review. Fantastic Four currently happening in review. It's been a great time, and I've been crazier than ever. You really have. It's been banger after banger after banger of episodes of In Review. Doesn't mean the movies necessarily work. Sometimes we're talking about some all-time greats. Sometimes we're talking about some of the worst movies ever made. But no matter what, Greg is drinking his Cokes and having a good time and saying some of the craziest things you've said on Kind of Funny content ever.
