Fable Delayed to 2027 - Kinda Funny Games Daily 05.29.26

28:59Andrew Reiner:without ram yeah but then this so we start talking about cloud we start talking about not selling

29:04Blessing Adeoye Jr.:systems. 100%. Yeah, and I'm somebody who I do not like I don't want to say I don't like playing games on cloud. I very much do not prefer to play games on cloud, right? And so when I see that as one of the main things that people are offering of like, oh yeah, come play cheap. You can get through cloud. I'm like, I don't really want to do that. But will that always be cheap? Because I imagine what stuff is needed to make cloud work. What make cloud go? Still hardware that is still expensive as shit. Yeah. Yeah, it's all going to be subscriptions. And then those prices are going to keep going up.

29:38It's the Netflix thing all over again, man.

29:40Blessing Adeoye Jr.:It's what Tim's talking about of plugging holes, right? Like, I think cloud is a way to plug a hole right now. But then over the course of years, yeah, that's going to go up in price as well. For sure. Isn't it great that Xbox and Microsoft own, like, a really big chunk of the industry? Isn't that really cool? I wonder. What if only three companies bought everything in the industry? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. then there was a government that would have actually regulated you know corporations just doing anything that they fucking wanted what if we looked at Microsoft Sony and Tencent and go you three buy it all and just control everything because then it'll be organized just buy everything why if we just consolidated everything what if Activision could hang out with Double Fine good lord um Yeah, there's not even going to be a good segue, everyone.

And we're back with some good news. Story number three, 007 First Slides already IO's fastest selling game ever.

32:23This comes from Andy Robinson at VGC. 007 First Slides off to a strong start commercially with developer IO Interactive claiming 1.5 million sales in just the first 24 hours. That means the James Bond title, which is out now for consoles and PC, is the fastest selling game in IO Interactive's history. According to Alinea Analytics estimates, at least a third of those 1.5 million came on PC via Steam, and a third have also played IO's other action games, Hitman. China is the number two Steam market for First Light so far, with 18 % of players, second only to the US's 29%. The milestone of 1.5 million in 24 hours reflects overwhelming global enthusiasm for 007 First Light and represents a significant achievement for IO Interactive, the game's developer said.

33:08Hell yeah. You'll love to see it. I was a little worried. I was concerned about this just because of the IP. And there's a lot going into this where even though we played it and we loved it, and I'm still playing through it, I have about two more hours, and I can't fucking wait to get home and beat this thing. But I was concerned for it, and I was wrong, and I'm very happy to be wrong.

33:31Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. I mean, I'm happy that IO was being rewarded for their hard work, right? Being rewarded for putting out a great game. It's crazy how, like, you can publish the worst game of 2025 and then one of the best games of 2026. You know, IO, they can do it all. I think about it in my mind. They can do everything. But, no, jokes aside, like, I think IO has hit the point of being just one of my favorite studios ever now. Like, I'm such a fan of, like, how they look at game design and approach game design and approach stealth and approach pathing and level design and all that. I think they are game design geniuses over there, like, legitimately.

34:05Blessing Adeoye Jr.:and to see that like elevated with what they're doing with bond and really leading into the big budget like oh we're gonna fucking explosions and actions and voice acting and story and all this stuff like it's really cool to see him nail it on this level i'm excited i'm i also need to go back and play more i was out of town i've been out of town twice in the last week uh but i was out of town the day before yesterday and so i wasn't able to go home and play and beat it yet um but i'm excited to like marinate in it though you know i'm like not in a rush to beat it either i want to

34:37Andrew Reiner:live in this game yeah man i the more i play the more i'm really really loving it like we're gonna do a a second review um next week i think at some point at some point we're doing it we're gonna do a gamescast getting even more people on i think it's the week after and maybe it's the week after uh and giving um our final scores uh on it but yeah i definitely my score is raising i don't know where that is yet i still need to finish it and and uh see it all to the end but um getting there was like a good chunk in the like middle section of the game that i was like damn yeah damn yeah and like this is this is going places i i didn't expect it to um so yeah huge congrats to them i i think that it's it's awesome to see it do this well critically and sales wise i hope it keeps up i really wonder what i wonder about a sequel you know i imagine we'll get another 007

35:25Blessing Adeoye Jr.:game from from io how long is it going to take that's the thing i missed to go man we're going to wait another what five years for a new 007 game two they're working on a fantasy game like a fantasy i think a fantasy game but like dragons and shit if i remember correctly from the reports i really wonder what that is like what's that gonna be um after playing this game and seeing like what they brought here um and then also like will we ever see more hitman will we ever is it gonna be a you know just add a level here or there over time here's the thing about that yeah we will get another hitman in the future i firmly believe it i think that they've gotten so good at being able to just make more hitman but will i have gray hairs by the time we get more hitman i i mean yeah probably i think they're coming sooner than you expect probably but i already got one uh but but i i think that there will be hitman because hitman is such a smaller scale in terms of like what needs to go into it production wise yeah um so i imagine that that'll be there but i also think that they that we've gotten so much hitman like oh world of assassination was incredible and it was a trilogy of projects over like a decade where it's like they did the thing oh yeah ps2 used to do of just like continually putting out um iterations so i i feel like this james bond stuff obviously is like the right path for them to go down right now um but we'll be back to hitman i just don't i don't think hitman will ever be there number one priority and at a certain point no should it be when we're talking about uh sales and critical reception that's and you know players enjoying it this much i i yeah i think i think it'll i think it can become their number one priority again i think people just need to miss hitman like i think you take enough time away from hitman people start clamoring for it again especially when you're able to go all right we've reached the end of what we're doing with this 007 license if there isn't um and we want to take our own ip and make that pop again like we want to turn hitman into something even bigger than it was and like put our whole foot in it like we want to make the greatest hitman experience ever which they kind of already just did but do it again you

37:33Andrew Reiner:know i think we can get there i think that's that just might be 10 years away i mean i also think that and this isn't necessarily for you but i do think that first light is going to be the best thing to ever happen to world of assassination like i bet that there was a bigger influx of hitman players than there's ever been since like the game's first released even more than more than when they put eminem in it i think so wow okay more than slim shader yeah yeah uh let's move on to story number four activision files a trademark for a crash bandicoot motion picture this comes from charles champion at insider gaming uh the the filing specifically references motion picture films and television series suggesting the publisher may be exploring opportunities in film television or animation interestingly this isn't the first time crash bandicoot's been linked to tv late last year rumors suggested that an animated crash bandicoot series was in production for netflix with reports claiming it was being developed by wild brain studios the team behind sonic prime however little information surfaced after the initial reports and the project seemingly disappeared from public discussion tim what does it what does this what for you i mean it not much i i don't think that this sees the light of day and if it does i don't think it's going to be like a quote-unquote real thing it will exist as content on a streaming service oh it won't be a show you get what i'm saying like there's like levels like on netflix or like youtube netflix okay i think beyond youtube but i just think i don't think that it's going to be like a it's not i think sonic prime is a show okay like that hits show level where you can compare Sonic Prime on Netflix to some of the other Sonic cartoons over the years and be like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

39:15They really did something here. So if they did partner with Wild Brain Studios and go for it with Crash Bandicoot, perhaps. But I see this kind of more as just like one of those weird tie-ins that like doesn't, doesn't actually do anything. And I don't believe the movie. I just don't believe it. There was a Skylanders show, I think also on Netflix, and Crash Bandicoot was in it. And he spoke with an Australian accent. Yeah.

39:38Blessing Adeoye Jr.:does has crash bandicoot does crash bandicoot speak as well wow oh yeah i know that i've heard

39:45Andrew Reiner:that before but he doesn't say sentences well he does in australia in the in the show skylanders oh yeah skylanders okay it's not in the game no do the other characters talk in the game yeah does crunch talk who the fuck is crunch

40:07Blessing Adeoye Jr.:yeah is this something you would would you want this though like a like would you want a crash bandicoot show look i don't for me i don't think that there's any world where they're making the show for people like me i just don't see that happening like who else would they make it for for kids to be able to go buy the Crash games, which sell incredibly well. Okay, you know what? You're not wrong about that. You're right. You're not wrong about that. I do think we'll get another Crash game at some point. I mean, what the fuck is Toys for Bobble 2? Hopefully Banjo-Kazooie. What are they up to? I need to know.

40:41I want Banjo. Story number five, Bellatro Publisher Playstacks being sold to GameSpot and Fandom Parent Company. This comes from Chris Kerr at Game Developer. I think it's very funny that that's the headline. like getting GameSpot fandom involved at all. But I understand that being kind of in the meat and potatoes of the whole thing. But like that means nobody knows what integrated media. True, true. Blotro and Abiotic Factor publisher PlayStack could soon be under the majority ownership of IMC, integrated media company, an investment group that also owns entertainment brands such as Fandom, Screen Junkies, Fanatical and GameSpot.

41:16PlayStack owner Truefin announced the proposed sale on May 21st. The company told investors it's agreed to sell its 84.5 % stake in the UK publisher to Vantage Co. for around$151 million. Vantage Co. is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of IAMC. The deal values PlayStack at around$169 million in total and is subject to shareholder approval. The Trufin board is recommending shareholders vote in favor of the sale. quote we believe the disposal of play stack represents a milestone for true fin and a clear demonstration of our disciplined approach to capital allocation and value creation oh man we've thoroughly enjoyed working with the play stack team over the years the last few years and look forward to them achieving future successes we're also going to make a lot of money and we don't really care what happens to them i didn't whoa that's kind of crazy he said that uh imc is a superb platform for the next stage of play stacks journey and we wish them the team at imc well for the future uh business speak is so funny to me it fucking is i understand

42:13Blessing Adeoye Jr.:this is how they talk but like even the word like we got to find a better business term for disposal we believe the disposal of play stack i understand hey no you're offloading them whatever even offload sounds like it's lacks a humanity to it but the disposal of play stack represents a milestone for us if like imagine like i don't know man we kick kevin out of here and we're like the disposal yeah it represents a milestone for kind of funny it's like jesus christ heaven's

42:42Andrew Reiner:worth more than 169 million though um but i yeah business speak whatever i listen tencent what if

42:49Blessing Adeoye Jr.:we just all what if we what if what if imc then sold to ten we can all just get all this shit under one umbrella um the big thing here for me is it's a publisher and it sucks when it's the developers i think it's extra bad when it's these very successful indie publishers like when you look at play stack like obviously bellatro but we're also talking about unbeatable and we're talking about um other games that were uh like what else did place that do did they do the golden idol oh did they i think they did i'm gonna look them up that sounds right like they

43:26Andrew Reiner:they're they did unbeatable they did do golden idol yeah golden idol i mean yeah they're they are a hit indie pub like a publisher should be able to identify indie hits they did rat coin right yeah so it's like they got the stuff and uh getting acquired it's like all right well that just means things are going to get muddied up like the nicest read of all of this is uh imc potentially buying them because they understand that and they see that um which we have seen before but that's been a much rarer case i would say recently this reminds me a lot of when ziff davis bought humble bundle and humble publishing publishing but you know what happened to humble bundle and humble publishing i don't know why i can't talk today humble bubble humble it is it's a lot yeah but you know what happened what happened i might be a little off about this but like correct me where i'm wrong here chad is this the thing that happened in the last like five years yeah oh yeah public publishing doesn't exist anymore correct and humble bundle does so they just bought them for the thing they wanted and not the other thing so does this just mean and we got balatro now bitches we got balatro you know bye bye golden idol bye bye the rest of you and i think that that's being very reductive but i do think that uh it's painting a picture of how i feel

44:45Blessing Adeoye Jr.:this is gonna go yeah i i think i'm i wanted to also hold space for the positive read the kind of the same similar to the thing you have of like hey play stack they're valued at like 169 million right and they're that they're at that place now they weren't before right like over the years play stack has been able to build a reputation and a value for themselves because they've been putting in the work and publishing great games and doing all this stuff and they're at a place where i know i know i get i like i make fun of we believe the disposal play stack represents a milestone own but maybe it is like maybe it is a thing of like hey as true fin or whatever we've been able to have like have this company grow under us and our goal was to sell this at a higher value than it was before and we did that yeah i think that's a good thing it's just a matter of are the new parents going to treat them well are the new parents going to treat them responsibly and like shepherd them response responsibly you would help but it's always a scary thing when it is i mean because especially when we're talking about like these indie publishers that end up hitting a level of success like there aren't that many that we can off the top name right like we have devolver we have thunderful we have annapurna yeah right play date that's not play date what's it called play stack oh okay um and so it's like yeah like the idea of losing those isn't good and like shaking things up when those they're somehow in this hellscape of a world making things work um so yeah fingers crossed this works out fingers crossed i don't necessarily think this is the death keel of this but i'd prefer this didn't happen because i'm not this doesn't make

46:25Andrew Reiner:me go think like oh things are gonna be better we read these stories all the time like this exact

46:29Blessing Adeoye Jr.:story all the time right with just different names subbed in i will say this isn't the worst version of the story that we've read on this show like this is the one that this is like probably somewhere in the mid tier of like okay we'll we'll see i guess you know sometimes it's like oh that makes sense sometimes it's like oh no they sold to them this is one of those ones where i'm like all right i guess we'll we'll see we'll find out yeah be safe we will be safe

46:57uh story number six fifa announces new digital football vision oh okay i should have read more before i started laughing yeah that's a new digital football vision an ecosystem of games for multiple publishers and developers this comes from john hicks uh games industry.biz i thought it was football football vision i like it infinity vision like a vr game uh football governing body fifa has announced a new gaming strategy called digital football formalizing its shift to working with multiple developers and publishers following the breakdown of its long-running partnership with EA in 2022. As part of the announcement, the organization named the new FIFA title from new publisher and developer Delphi Interactive as FIFA World Cup Launch Edition.

47:40It described it as an all-new FIFA World Cup simulation, letting you write your own World Cup story, and said it would arrive on Netflix in the summer. The announcement presents a unified brand for a series of partnership deals that FIFA has signed across the games industry since the termination of its EA deal. These form part of a digital football ecosystem. which includes the upcoming netflix title developed by delphi interactive free-to-play mobile arcade title fifa heroes developed by ember studio this year the fifa rivals the fifa rivals mobile game launched in 2025 and developed by startup mythical game nasty uh partnering with game fam's roblox title super league soccer which is rebranded as fifa super soccer it's horrendous adding official fifa events to sports interactive's football manager oh sure okay i'm not mad at that one uh partnering with konami z football for the official e-sports tournaments oh jesus that's bad

48:33Blessing Adeoye Jr.:that reeks yeah fucking konami games fifa e-sports oh no fifa e e-sports that shit sucks uh partnering with epics rocket league for fifa e okay okay all right so on one two three four five six seven we had seven and uh only two of them were like okay two of them are okay the rest of them uh fifa said ecosystem was considered with each game fitting into one of four categories football action simulation football action non-simulation non-action simulation and not action non-simulation

49:08Blessing Adeoye Jr.:what if we took the fifa license away from ea and did the worst possible with it what if we just didn't know what to do with this license and we just gave it to all of the worst people to work with it and and acted like we knew what we were talking about as far as oh yeah we'll have it categories we'll have action sim non-action sim non-action non

49:29Andrew Reiner:what the so it's just there non-action non-sim is the fucking funniest one dude messi and cristiano ronaldo just standing around oh my god dude wow i don't like any of this sim yeah i mean real talk is there any any actual thing you have to say about this um no my actual

49:48Blessing Adeoye Jr.:thing to say about this is man i don't fifa very clearly doesn't know what they're doing with the gaming license uh for it and i think all of this is horrendous that's my real take i think all of this is bad except for maybe the fifa um which would call it um league simulation game um i can't think it's the one that people bid on every football manager the football manager thing I think makes sense. Big year for Delphi, by the way. For reals. Delphi. They were on 007. They let you know that because you have to fucking watch that screen every time you start the game up for no less than 20 seconds.

50:26Yeah.

The way he goes into detail about this man's fascination with eggs. Eggs? I'm paraphrasing here. Do you remember the game Billy Hatcher and the giant egg? Yeah.

54:38Andrew Reiner:Oh, no, Tim. Who has this on fantasy? Is it you? Fuck! I never believed this is coming again. You don't have it. You don't have it. I think maybe Andy has it. Andy has it. Yeah. Well, now he just gets to drop it, right? Because it got delayed. Yeah, I mean, if he still has drops, yeah. Temple Maker 64 is announced for PC There's a demo available It's a third person dungeon crawler Build dungeons full of traps and puzzles Or grab your sword and explore community made dungeons Choose from a vast selection of items, monsters, puzzles And bosses all wrapped up in an N64 inspired love letter

But really cool, though. Very cool. And also even putting the 64 in there. They are flirting with disaster here. Yeah. Absolute disaster. But I fuck with that respect. God damn, that's just that other game. That's just that other game. Let's not say it. I'm not going to say it. No, no. But it looks like another game. The Witch's Bakery launches this August on Xbox, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Escape the Backrooms is now available on Xbox Series, Game Pass, and PS5.

55:51And the movie's out in theaters now. that's it for weed news let's see what we got wrong wait what are we looking at bear oh these sales this console sales uh the last reported update for xbox series x and s you know what uh was 28.3 million but i think i don't know how recent this number is i want to say this is from 2024 yeah i during the commercial break i was talking to him

56:18Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I was like, you're definitely more right about the PlayStation 5 sales versus Xbox Series sales. I think I was still in Xbox One mode as far as like what the gap between the two are. But in whatever these last reported things are, yeah, like, wait, what is that again, Bear for PS5? Is that 90? 93.7 million. But I think this is a more recent number. I think this is actually reported from 2026. Whereas I think this 28.3 million report is from 2024. I don't think they've given any public reporting since then. but from the things we've been hearing uh from the last couple years it hasn't been great so i would imagine maybe it's hitting that like 32 around like the n64 like there was a report that xbox i think it was this year it was suffering 33 percent decline in hardware sales and so like i'm i guess i'm taking back the one and two like or the two to one ratio but like i would still maybe put it around like the four to one five to one range only because i think xbox for the casual gamer and i think it's the casual gamer that doesn't have the current consoles currently i think enough of them still look at xbox is like oh well i grew up in an xbox i'm just gonna buy oh man i think you're so wrong about that really yeah that was two generations ago yeah any of those people got burned during the xbox one generation yep and i'm talking in absolutes here obviously there are people out there yeah and like me saying 10 to 1 the most casual like i think the most casual is going playstation playstation has earned the market dominance of like when you think video game you think playstation sure i mainstream normies like i think there's an older category of gamer like gamers that are at least like let's say in the at least 30 years old that just grew up on xbox that would just go oh yeah i had this before or oh i can get this new thing the new xbox or no the new xbox but like i can get an xbox for

58:10Andrew Reiner:300 and play gta 6 for 300 i can get i'm just gonna get this yeah again if we're bringing in if they do a crazy price slash well i'm talking about the series s yeah i mean we'll see i stand by what i'm saying sure like i think the playstation dominance like the reason to want to invest in playstation going forward like if you're buying the new system it's not just for gta for some people it might be i think for a lot of people i think for a lot of people is i'm buying this for gta 2k and call of duty but yeah but i also think that i think those are the people that will buy xbox and i think there's a lot of those people but i think that they're that it's also you're right but i i do think that the majority of the people that are buying it now alongside gta i don't think it's just for gta i think this is just they've been waiting for this as their entry point to this generation something to also consider as well like we this 93.7 million figure you also have to take into consideration of like how much of that last generation has already moved forward when you look at the percentage of 93.7 million for ps5 and ps4 at total being 117 like only only 20 million below that right so i do think there is already kind of a transition period that has happened for a majority of people even the casuals from last gen to this generation i think there's so many people that haven't done it yet i mean just anecdotally i know there's so many people that i know that haven't made the jump and a lot of it's because they're like the games are also on last gen why like why would i care yeah and so it's like yeah gta is going to be a giant thing the thing is the prices of these systems is insane so it's like we are talking about a ps5 or a pro even at like 800 fucking

59:59Blessing Adeoye Jr.:plus yeah how much is the base ps5 and how much is an xbox series s i don't know because like i'm for my own anecdotal stuff like i find it way easier to recommend as xbox series s to anybody who i know there's like again on the most casual gamer side and i think that makes up a large amount of people who would be in the market to be like oh i want to buy a thing i don't know i mean like for me it's like i bought my nephews an xbox because the series s is the cheapest thing yeah but it's like you also are informed enough to understand game pass and to understand how to make that value actually valuable sure you know like there's so many levels we always talk about like the are we just making up a customer that doesn't actually exist of like the grandparent going in not knowing the difference of what system to buy when they're talking about their kid like yeah it just doesn't happen now but like but if it does it doesn't represent a uh a large enough amount of people for it to move any type of needle when we talk about these casual gamers it's like i think there's a big difference between people that might buy a system just because they're kind of interested in playing a game once and people that are like i'm i'm buying a system so i can play games you know invest in video games in any type of way in their life and i think those are

1:01:10Andrew Reiner:just different markets but i do think i do think plenty of the person exists that goes hey i'm

1:01:15Blessing Adeoye Jr.:gonna buy a console so i can play gta and then i can also play madden and call of duty and all these other things right like i think that level of gamer makes up a large amount right like nowadays you're talking about fortnite and all these things and i think i think that game that gamer is playing with their friends and where are their friends playing that's a good call you know like that's that is like if we're talking about that group we have to talk about like all of their motivations yeah you know um and i do think at a certain point it's like all right well the difference is i pay 300 here or 700 there it's like well then i'm just not gonna buy it oh i don't know about that we'll see i don't know if i'm like of course we're blessed with our jobs like i get to get codes and like greg gives me a playstation 5 pro every now and then if i'm somebody who's in who does not have a console and i'm looking at my wallet and i'm like all right come this christmas all gta 6 is coming out i want to buy something if i'm looking at an xbox series s for 300 or 400 or a playstation 5 for 800 i'm getting the xbox and like i and i know that's not most of us but like i think i think that has to make up a large amount of people i think it makes up an amount of people yeah well like i don't know but i don't know if that like i guess i don't even know what my argument is anymore i'm just saying that person exists the person does exist they absolutely do and we will see it there's gonna be a bump in hardware across the board but this year undeniably but it's it's we'll see what the ratio ends up being or we won't because it'll be like such a disastrous land side win that would that people don't even update their numbers sure sure um let's see there's a bunch of your wrongs here that like i'm just gonna be honest i don't believe them you know um

1:03:04Blessing Adeoye Jr.:people just saying crunch talks

1:03:09yeah crunch talks everybody

1:03:14want to do one last super chat to end the day here let it go nando says tim did you see the new x-men 97 season 2 trailer yes i did blessed you um i skimmed through it i'm not a big trailer person like that i i saw it and i like swim through it i was like okay

1:03:34Blessing Adeoye Jr.:cool i'm gonna watch this i don't like spoiling myself on tv shows okay that's fair yeah i just wanted to see the two minutes like yeah but still i was like that's fair that's totally fair that's totally fair i fucking loved it i've watched it like 10 times the music in it is so good the hype scenes in it i'm like this is about to be incredible i'm a little concerned about the story they're presenting it seems not my favorite type of thing with the time traveling different eras and like apocalypse is a bad guy i just don't really like that shit i like and i know that this is not a popular take i like the more grounded x-men stories more than the fucking crazy cosmic make oh i agree with that um but that's when x-men is at its best according to most fans so i'm not gonna get in the way of it i had season one and that is one of my favorite things ever like i x-men 97 the more i reflect on xbox x-men 97 season one it's like i do think it's my favorite marvel studios project period really i think it's so damn good and i've re-watched the whole season like three times now and i'm just like holy shit it is phenomenal it's amazing yeah um and they renewed for seasons three and four which is very exciting they're trying to get them out annually now um a lot of drama behind the scenes that i am concerned about like yeah um so we'll see how that all shakes out but very excited for season two you start spider noir yet i didn't

1:04:51Andrew Reiner:start it yet really good things what do you think really good so far are you doing the black and white or the true color black and white okay yeah that feels it feels like the right way to do yeah i'm excited though uh let us know in the comments below if you were excited for x-men 97 season two or for Spider Noir. I wish they put it out weekly. I would be keeping up if it was weekly. It'd be a drop.

1:05:10Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I'm like, all right, I'll get to it when I get to it. And honestly, like after watching the first episode, I'm like, this doesn't feel like something I want to binge, but it'd be something I'd want to watch weekly. It's tough stuff, everyone. We are about to do our PlayStation State of Play predictions episode of the Gamescast. So stay tuned for that. Until next time, Game Daily.
