Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Development in Final Push - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.18.26

13:36Blessing Adeoye Jr.:The only place I can see is I can see us getting the trailer this summer They've been saying That we're going to see more of this game In 2026 and so like holding it until like the very very end of the year feels like like i mean it's it's doable it makes sense game awards is hype or whatever but i don't know for some reason i get

13:56Greg Miller:more summer vibes i feel like they're already ready to show this thing i'm right there with you bless i mean i i think at every playstation event that we have all the way up until summer and through the year we'll hold our breath any jeff event will hold our breath for this right and we'll predict and hope that we'll see this and it's like this year we're building right we We know that we're probably going to talk about this and see this calendar year. And the excitement continues to grow. I mean, I can't wait for it. So, yeah, if it's summer, I feel like it fits perfectly, right?

14:23Blessing Adeoye Jr.:You know what? One I'll even throw out there. Hold on. I got to scroll because Barrett's telling me there's breaking news and I don't want to see what it is. Because he says it's breaking news for me.

14:30Tim Gettys:I have it breaking for after the first story for your reaction.

14:35Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Okay. Now, would it be crazy to expect it to come in 2027?

14:42Greg Miller:would that be insane no i don't think it's crazy but i just think like video game development and timelines right when you hear hey it's in a playable state sure we're not behind the door seeing what playable state is but just like we're going to talk about with replaced right a playable state can mean a many of different things yeah and it's like as much as they might be forward they're going to have a lot of bugs to fix there's going to be a lot of polish this is a big title this is the end of it all right so like they're going to want to make this perfect so i I don't know. I would love to hope.

15:12Greg Miller:I'd like to play this sooner than later, but I do think that we're going to have a long road ahead on the final touches of this game.

15:19Tim Gettys:I could see 2027 purely because they have that world built. We have the, we have the open world built.

15:26Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah.

15:26Tim Gettys:I mean, maybe there's a couple of like areas you need to like build for the, this new, you know, the, the final entry, but the bones are there. And so I, I feel like the turnaround for it could be much quicker because Just think about this, Mikey. Game you got into for the people, pandering to the audience. Remind me of it. Kingdom Come Deliverance, too. No, the other one. The anime RPG.

15:55Greg Miller:Trails in the Sky. Yeah. Chapter two.

15:57Tim Gettys:That second chapter is already coming out this year, right? And that's a similar situation where they've built the bones already for that open world. So I can see it sooner or later.

16:06Greg Miller:Now, I'll tell you, February 2024 was Rebirth. I do like, you know, we say spring 2020 for remake. You could get spring 2028. Right. So it still feels close to 2027. But it is that like, hey, right after the calendar year, we're right there.

16:22Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I believe 2028 just because I think that's a that's a cadence. Them talking about how, yeah, we've hit every single milestone as far as our timeline milestone for this game. One, that's very impressive. Like, I want to shout out how efficient specifically the Final Fantasy VII remake team is, because when they announced that this was going to be multiple games like a multi-parter for final fans 7 remake i think all of us were like sure like i'm sure we'll see this whole thing come out by 2035 or something like that the fact that we got final fans 7 remake part one in 2020 and we got rebirth a an open world version of that game with way more content that's probably what like 70 80 hours i feel like i took it took me to beat that game that came out four years later pretty

17:06Greg Miller:impressive that's really impressive and like barrett said right you're building off of the foundation of number two and three you might just be keeping that cadence is right so yeah i would

17:15Blessing Adeoye Jr.:expect 2028 i'm i if i'm being if i'm trying to push it if i'm trying to be like yo what if i think fall 2027 okay but i i'm i'd be even surprised about that so when do you think we

17:25Greg Miller:see it though you do you think summer game fest is the most logical answer i think i mean not a

17:29Blessing Adeoye Jr.:playstation state of play before that maybe they're weird they they revealed final fantasy 7 rebirth at a Final Fantasy anniversary stream. Of course. That me and Tim were like, me and Tim were like, oh yeah, we'll see some random shit here. Like we'll react to it. And they showed off the first glimpse at Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. They will do anything. The first time we saw a remake was at a PlayStation E3. As we know, these games come out PlayStation exclusive. So I think there's a good chance we see it at a PlayStation thing. But the question then becomes for me, this summer, are we getting a PlayStation showcase?

18:01Greg Miller:I don't know if we are. Is it big enough to get a, just square enix thing maybe own thing i think so but big enough but i i i want to say we could

18:11Blessing Adeoye Jr.:see it at a state of play but it strikes me as bigger than state of play you don't think jeff can get it oh i think jeff can get it yeah that's my thing is i think if you're if you're playstation and you're choosing between state of play and jeff's thing you might lean towards jeff jeff's thing okay right you might be like yo square like put it put it there this is our this is a prime time announcement we want this to suck up all the air right between having between all these other games getting announced we want you to be the prime star in this showcase would you be mad if they waited till the tgas no you know i think there's a half and half chance i think 50 chance for summer 50 chance for for end of year this year that we see it this year for sure this year

18:51Tim Gettys:for sure this year we will learn more about this game than ever before bless which is anything which means anything uh bless i want to shout out uh a super chat from aaron lyme if you want to read that just a another aspect of possibly 2027 being their window that they want to yeah

19:10Blessing Adeoye Jr.:aaron lyme writes in the super chat and says final fantasy 7 remake part 3 is playable with a year of polish expected at summer game fest game releases on the 30th anniversary being january 31st 1997 so are they saying january 31st 2027 is what that is very close i think that's insane I think that date is insane, but I could see a 30th anniversary for. Oh, like next year? Yeah. Okay.

19:33Tim Gettys:For 2027.

19:35Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. Again, like fall 2027 seems possible to me.

19:40Greg Miller:No. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like next year, like a year and a half. They celebrate the year anniversary, but not the date. Exactly. Yeah. All right. I mean, we'll see that it continues to get closer and closer. I can't wait to play. I'm so excited. blast i fell in love with this game dude and i never thought i would i fell in love with this

20:01Blessing Adeoye Jr.:world there's such a magic to final fantasy 7 because i'm with you i i remember growing up with friends that would argue final fantasy 7 is the greatest game of all time it was always the zelda ocarina versus final fantasy 7 argument that would go back and forth in my group of friends and my final fantasy 7 friend was so annoying that i didn't want to believe him he was also the deadpool friend you know stevie loved deadpool loved final fantasy 7 also loved dark souls and Stevie's got taste. Stevie's got taste, but Stevie was so annoying that I didn't want to interact with those things. You know what I mean?

20:31Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Like, oh yeah, I played Dark Souls. It's the hardest game of all time. Look at me. I'm the best. And I'm like, fuck you, Stevie. All right, I'm not even touching this. I'm going to play my own things over here. He was also super into Final Fantasy XIII. Stevie had taste. I like that. Let me tell you, looking back, Stevie did know what he was talking about. Stevie might know. Stevie did know. Tastemaker. Tastemaker for sure. You'd always have fighting game beasts also. That was the other thing because he thought he was better than me at Tekken. and I'm like, you ain't better than me at Tekken. Oh man, we ought to fight all the time.

20:57Greg Miller:Ain't nothing better than having friends like that where you can just battle like that.

20:59Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Gotta have it. Oh yeah, we'd go crazy in fighting games. He was also a dancer. Both me and him came up break dancing and shit together. So there was one time where we got into like dance beef because we were arguing who's the better dancer and it legitimately was like a step up movie where we were like, all right, battle right now. Put on the music, battle right now. It was one of them ones where like, oh man, I have such nostalgia for that time. Shout out to Stevie. I hope you're good. I don't know what he's doing.

21:21Greg Miller:I hope next. do you think we'll get another like big remake like this next because i what i want bless yeah i want the prequel to final fantasy 10 i want them to create the prequel to final fantasy 10 what does that mean like you want them to once you once you play the game you'll learn okay but like i i want i want a game be set before final fantasy 10 that leads into it final fantasy 10

21:43Blessing Adeoye Jr.:zero give it to me okay give it to me uh next big remake i mean what they wasn't there rumors of Final Fantasy either 8 or 9 remake or am I thinking of

21:54Greg Miller:10 would they go back to doing more remakes like this yeah

21:58Blessing Adeoye Jr.:but they're not going to be as big as this that's the problem if you're sticking within Final Fantasy I mean this is the biggest one unless you maybe if you did Final Fantasy 6 if you like really went back but I think that's really that's hard though that's tough that's like a different type of thing but I don't think they're I don't think they'll reach the heights of this but I could still see them I'm sticking in Final Fantasy 7 land. Be like, yo, we're just going to keep making...

22:22Greg Miller:Let's just go on more adventures?

22:23Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. What if we do spinoffs?

22:26Greg Miller:You know the characters now. Yeah, what if we take some of these characters and just make more games with them?

22:30Blessing Adeoye Jr.:It's a great idea. All right. Let's hop into this breaking news that everybody's so excited about.

22:36Tim Gettys:All right, let me prep it. Don't look anywhere, Bless.

22:39Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I'm not looking anywhere. I'm not even reading the chat right now.

22:41Tim Gettys:Because this is... We want a live reaction to this announcement here. Oh, shit.

22:46Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Is this real news? breaking news no shot Kristen Bell has been cast as Amy Rose in Sonic 4 okay you know what that's fun with it that's fun I like it Kristen Bell I love her in the good place of course you love her in the good place so good I would not have thought about this I wouldn't have put these two together

23:13Greg Miller:but I guess it makes sense I bet you if you saw the big board of all the faces of actors that you would have to possibly fill this, you'd go, you know what, Kristen Bell, not bad. Yeah, Kristen Bell, I think that makes sense. What has she been up to? I've not seen her since The Good Place.

23:27Blessing Adeoye Jr.:She's doing a lot of commercials, TV commercials. She's doing a lot of commercials, actually, you're right. There's that second Frozen movie, right? Oh, I forgot she was Elsa. Wait, no, was she Elsa?

23:37Tim Gettys:She was one of them, right?

23:38Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Which one was she in Frozen?

23:41Greg Miller:We're looking it up. One of them. She has Nobody Wants This, 2024. two seasons of that

23:48Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Anna she was Anna yeah see one of them

23:52Greg Miller:with Adam Broly

23:54Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Veronica Mars nobody wants this Gossip Girl I didn't watch Gossip Girl Forgetting Sarah Marshall

24:00Greg Miller:we love Forgetting Sarah Marshall she's Veronica Mars that is true she was in Paw Patrol the mighty movie also Bad Moms

24:11Tim Gettys:now that's a movie I've watched people were talking about Hacks she's in PAX yeah let's just focus

24:17Blessing Adeoye Jr.:on the good places the good places fire I've watched a couple of bad moms remember when she was

24:21Tim Gettys:in Assassin's Creed she was in Assassin's Creed yeah she was Lucy back in the OG days in the modern parts of the game

24:30Greg Miller:bad mom's Christmas

24:33Blessing Adeoye Jr.:shout out Kristen Bell congratulations on this role I love this for you I knew it was going to be something Sonic related

24:39Greg Miller:I thought it was going to be something more exciting like a game I thought we were going to go back to Fox I thought Barrett had concrete proof that Fox was and i thought we were gonna go he's like i found it that'd be crazy that would be crazy

24:50Blessing Adeoye Jr.:nintendo just officially announces it let's move on to story number two tencent was quietly backing high guard studio according to a report this is from rebecca valentine at ign high guard the free to play pvp raid shooter announced that the game awards last year and released to preemptive criticism and mockery only for most of its developers to be laid off just weeks after launch was apparently financially backed by tencent according to a report this comes from game file which reports that the chinese gaming module was the first primary was sorry was the primary financial backer there we go uh behind developer wildlight entertainment an arrangement that was not publicly shared by either company prior to this report it was unclear who was funding wildlight despite high guard seemingly being in development for a number of years prior to its announcement at the Game Awards in December.

25:40Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Its official LinkedIn page has long included the line that Wildlight is a new, fully-funded entertainment studio. It remains unclear how heavily reliant Wildlight was on Tencent or whether a decision to pull funding was made at some point that led to the mass layoffs. Wildlight's feature as a studio also remains unclear, with a studio statement saying that it would retain a core group of developers to keep HighGuard going.

26:07Greg Miller:they're looming in the shadows yeah i mean funding your favorite gaming studio involved in everything is yeah they they have a small hand or a large hand in everything that you're probably playing or some way shape or form but yeah this was a wild one bless we had a wild day yesterday with high guard yeah from the website being down to the discord leading to some random discord to then this coming out uh it's been a wild guard wild guard day wild wild guard i like

26:34Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Wild guard day. I don't know how I feel about this. Like, I don't really have an opinion because this changes nothing for me.

26:39Greg Miller:Right? No. I mean, we also had questions of like, well, who's backing this, right? Because they were like, we're independent. We don't have a publisher. It's just us. We have all these developers that are working under our studio. We've been doing this for a couple of years now. So you got to start adding up. It's like, okay, well, money has to be coming from somewhere.

26:56Blessing Adeoye Jr.:They were funded by somebody.

26:57Greg Miller:And I don't think Dusty with the nice jacket that we met is the man that has enough money to fund all of this for years, right? So it's like, okay, something has to be involved. And yeah, it seems like Tencent might have been one of the first. Maybe it was. Who knows how much involvement it is until we get more from this. Yeah. Let's move on to story number three.

32:18Greg Miller:seen as a steed or just another character in this world it's like is yoshi a chocobo

32:24Blessing Adeoye Jr.:is it no yoshi's not a chocobo not a horse okay yoshi's like a friend yoshi's more than a chocobo Yoshi's a friend that you ride you know a friend with riding benefits

32:35Greg Miller:Elder Scrolls the cat people right the cat people have many different forms but some cats are so big and they still run on fours on four feet that the smaller cat people who are now going up on two feet ride those guys that's some Elder Scrolls lore for you

32:54Blessing Adeoye Jr.:in the Disney universe where do you stand on Goofy owning a dog because he's technically a dog yes because that's how i feel about this question with pluto because yoshi is somewhere between pluto and goofy to me interesting because yoshi doesn't speak like in our language at least okay right we don't really understand what but we ride him like a steed yeah but we treat him like a friend yes is yoshi more goofy or is yoshi more pluto think about that okay i never got deep onto that i have to think about it

33:29Tim Gettys:barrett what disturbs you about what i just said a lot just a lot of everything that just came out

33:33Blessing Adeoye Jr.:of your mouth fair enough story number three replaced release date delayed again less than a month from launch this is from tom phillips at ign replaced developer sad cat studios has announced a delay to its 2.5g cyberpunk game just three weeks shy of its planned launch instead of arriving on march 12th the retro futuristic platformer will now debut on april 14th, a move that Sad Cat said was decided upon following the response to a Steam demo. Quote, as a small team working on our very first title, we've poured everything we have into this project, the studio wrote in a statement shared on Twitter.

34:09Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Quote, while the game is technically finished, reaching this final stretch has shown us that we need just a few more weeks to ensure the experience is exactly what you deserve. We want the version of Replaced You Play on Day 1 to be polished, stable, and true to the vision we've shared with you the response to our steam demo has been the ultimate fuel for us sadcat continued to be honest putting it out there was nerve-wracking but seeing your gameplay reading your reviews and hearing your excitement has been overwhelming in the best way possible we're constantly reading your comments and that feedback is helping us make the final tweaks that will make the full game shine and quote you know you know the famous quote michael jordan said at one time michael jordan a delayed game is better than a game that you didn't delay that

34:55Greg Miller:came out bad very cool yep thank you michael jordan i mean yes this is the right thing to do it's exciting because it's been a long time coming to get to this point and this team has gone through a lot so it is very cool that we were like right there and of course yeah they put out a demo you get a lot of fan feedback and the first thing you probably want to do is be like time out let's go address that let's make this game even better right and so yeah probably leads to a discussion in the boardroom and say hey can we stall for a little bit longer let's make it great so on day one they have everything they're asking for and more man i can't get over how good this game looks

35:30Blessing Adeoye Jr.:did you play the demo no i never got around to the demo still available on steam right now maybe i'll play maybe i'll check it out i heard anything andy told me it was short too so easy i like that easy knock it out story number four a chrono trigger remake is already in development inside of claims uh this is from francesco de mayo at wccf tech over the past year we heard rumblings of a chrono trigger remake possibly being in development but fans were consistently disappointed when it turned out to be either mistranslations or mere development considerations from yuji hori the creator of the dragon quest series who also served as one of the legendary games writers however according to a known insider a remake of the classic 16-bit jrpg is indeed in development Commenting on a Reset Era forum in a thread regarding a recent survey shared by Square Enix's Team Asano, the studio behind the Octopath Traveler series which popularized the HD2D visual style, insider John Harker made a very interesting comment.

36:25Quote,

36:26Blessing Adeoye Jr.:The Chrono stuff is already in dev though. Let's ask for something else, like opening back up Triangle Strategy 2 or a legit sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics, the insider said, incidentally rekindling fans' hopes for a remake. quote, you really went and just said the quiet part out loud, later said member Sketchdog, to which John Harker replied, quote, wouldn't be the first time, end quote, doubling down on the provided information. Unfortunately, the insider did not specify if this Chrono Trigger remake will be an HD2D game, an enhanced remaster in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactics, The Able East Chronicles, or a doll-style remake like the recent Dragon Quest VII reimagined.

37:03Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Needless to say, a random a post on a public forum wouldn't really be trustworthy coming from any random user. However, John Harker has been providing accurate information about upcoming video games and showcases for almost a decade, revealing, for example, details about Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Assassin's Creed Shadows, the timeframes for state of play and intended direct presentations, and more. As such, while the information still has to be taken with a huge grain of salt, the possibility that the user may have revealed correct information is rather substantial cool yeah oh i i i was gonna say roger barrett did smoke me uh yeah i said bear you're a big

37:46Tim Gettys:chrono trigger person chrono trigger is like a very important the uh my early development of

37:50Blessing Adeoye Jr.:getting into video games yeah what kind of art style would you want would you want hd2d would Do you want the Dragon Quest 7 stuff?

37:57Tim Gettys:I've been playing the Octopath Traveler 2 trailer. Just because, yeah, in my head, like, I would love to see it kind of have it, like, fully realized, not fully get away from that original art style that I personally hold near and dear to my heart. And I would love to see it kind of recreated in the style. With the recent, what was it, Dragon Quest 7 that had the doll style is what they're referring to, right? i i don't know i don't know if i would want that i think that works for i'd it's it's tough because there is the toriyama art style that you see in the chrono trigger cut scenes that i do think would be kind of neat to see the the doll style but i

38:41Blessing Adeoye Jr.:don't know yeah it's a tough one this would be what would get me to play through chrono trigger this would be the moment here yeah yeah i love the hd2d stuff even though i think i mentioned no it was a super chat i think in one of our hot takes episodes that was like hd2d that person didn't like it. I disagree with not liking it. But also, I do think maybe it's a little bit overdone. Maybe we're doing it a little bit too much. But also, it's like, there's only so much you can do with remaking Pixels that I'm not mad at it.

39:08Tim Gettys:And if there's any game to do it with, I personally believe it's Chrono Triggered.

39:12Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. I would play it this way. Give me a Live Alive sequel or follow-up or something. That's what I want to do. Okay.

39:21Greg Miller:Yeah, I like that. You're like the insider of, like, let's go to the next

39:23Blessing Adeoye Jr.:thing now yeah like oh it's it's going down let's take this ourselves let's keep making we're ready for another question let's take yeah classic games and try to like because triangle strategy struck me as that's like a successor to final fantasy tactics obviously new ip new franchise or whatever but let's try to re-invoke what we did in the classic days give me something like that with live alive i know it's a weird one i know most people don't care but i liked that game them so much when i played it in hd duty and so that's my request story number or earthbound lessons got some requests remake earthbound earthbound i know that requires you then partner with nintendo yes but like square enix and so you've partnered with nintendo before just do it again give me mother give me mother two fuck it give me mother three you know mike story number five speaking of nintendo pokemon card store that made headlines after customers held it at gunpoint is now hit by nintendo requests to rebrand this is tom phillips this is a wild

40:21Greg Miller:story to go down at ign this is a wild story to go down last month new york pokemon card store

40:27Blessing Adeoye Jr.:the poke court was the focus of media attention following a frightening armed burglary that involved its staff and customers being held at gunpoint the incident prompted widespread shock and sympathy for the fledgling outlet which lost a hundred thousand dollars worth of stock in minutes but now the business has said the famously litigious nintendo has been in touch not to offer aid however but to share concerns over its name and logo and pause this is where you're like

40:53Greg Miller:oh man pokemon cards they've gotten out of control people are robbing each other over this stuff i feel so bad from the small mom and pop shop probably just trying to get by and they got robbed that's crazy stuff you're like oh nintendo maybe they're gonna they'll help him out buy a new front door firm or something i'm sure it'll be something nice and then i was like hey what's

41:12Blessing Adeoye Jr.:up with your name the poke court is now being forced to rebrand with a storefront social accounts and online site all being rebranded to the trainer court over the coming days the previous design featured a stylized pokeball logo that is now being replaced by a simple c colored in green in a statement posted to instagram the newly retitled trainer court thanked fans for support amidst the robbery and beyond but it said it was now having to change its name and logo due to a complaint from nintendo quote the short story is nintendo reached out to us with concerns about our name and logo the trainer court wrote this means we're evolving same team same ridiculous hit rate and soon even greater things coming things coming your way and well this is hilarious only because like nintendo does not care it's rubbing salt in the wound where nintendo's like like wait they got robbed a hundred thousand dollars damn that's crazy they're named what yo send them get them listen all we feel for you whatever change your name bro you and they're not wrong yeah i mean you know that you know they're not wrong you've seen it

42:20Greg Miller:with a lot of other people it's right like yeah i don't know it's a weird timing is just like what

42:25Blessing Adeoye Jr.:are we doing timing is horrendous but here's the thing right nintendo's they're in the right about this right you can't just name your thing poke court with the accent mark with the accent aigu on you're having a pokemon ball in your logo yeah yeah you can't do that and so yeah like you do have to change your name but also like i feel like this works in their benefit because they're since the robbery they've gotten a lot of press i think this will give them even more press more i think this will give them even more support of people being like what what's going on here like let's support the store let's uh let's go there now this is what i'll say nintendo have you seen the people using ai to make nintendo games have you seen this like nintendo people are recreating breath of the wild and pokemon by just typing in things and posting it i don't know if you're aware but you should do something about that i don't know like you're not doing anything it's

43:18Greg Miller:kind of making look a little when they make the local news then nintendo will come you have to

43:22Blessing Adeoye Jr.:make the local news i'm just saying i thought you were about that life nintendo you know this is equivalent of like like a big rapper dissing like you know fucking like a homie who sells out who passes out mixtapes on the street versus dissing like the actual big guy that's actually coming at them you know like what if kendrick didn't diss what if kendrick didn't diss drake what if kendrick dissed i don't know like diss andy after andy put out a rap song and he points it's like me yeah like go after the ai people that's what i say story number six our final one this is required reading for you open source game engine godot is drowning in ai slop code contributions uh quote i don't know how long we can keep it up uh this is from lincoln carpenter at pc gamer open source software development the open collaborative contribution of knowledge in the name of problem solving bug fixing and feature development and ongoing support is a borderline utopian idea but the advent of generative llms has forced the maintainers of projects like open source game engine godot to face a deluge of ai generated code from would-be contributors who might not even understand the changes they're submitting in a blue sky thread via game developer remy racheld one of the primary maintainers of the godot github repository and co-founder of major godot backer w4 games says the problem of ai slop pull requests or requests to merge code changes with the project is quote becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for godot maintainers as they're now forced to deliberate the trustworthiness and human authorship of an onslaught of llm generated contributions even if godot's maintainers are able to identify ai generated code for description brachelle says that's often just the first uh often just the first of compounding complications well is this code wrong because it was written by ai or is it an honest mistake from an inexperienced human contributor racheld said quote what do you even what do you do when you ask a pr author uh if they used ai because you're suspicious and they all reply with yes i used it to write the pr description because i'm bad at with english end quote i stopped the article there because this goes deep in the duffy as far as stuff that's kind of like i think usually deeper than we go into the development world as far as you know having to manage these requests from uh developers on godot and like how much the ai slop shit is now weighing down on them and making their lives a lot harder again i'm placing this as required reading this was written by lincoln carpenter at pc gamer um one thing i'll throw out there right if you're like what is godot i've never heard of godot before like we mentioned in the article godot is an open source game engine uh which makes it makes making games available to like a wider spread of people right than something that might cost um an arm and a leg to actually get into and make uh if you're wondering what kind of games have been made in in godot uh games that you know right slay the spire 2 is being made in godot uh bro tato uh was made in god battlefield 6 used um godot for the portal editor for the battlefield portal map editor um case of the golden idol those are games that me and barrett uh love a lot luck be a landlord rise of the golden idol um and most interestingly in my opinion in 2021 sonic colors ultimate was made in godot yeah they used a modified version of godot to make that and so go to pc gamer if you're interested in learning more uh they'll have the thread linked there if you want to read into what's going on but mike a lot of big ai stories in the last few months that honestly i'm getting sick of but it's only going to continue sadly but we'll try to manage it if i wanted something smaller say the tiniest news i needed to know about where would i go yeah

48:55Greg Miller:Nice. That's great.

48:56Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Good for you.

48:58Greg Miller:Nick would be mad at me buying French fries. I don't think that would get anybody fired.

49:02Blessing Adeoye Jr.:That would be anybody close to fired. I'm pretty sure we've used the company card to buy much worse than the French fries. The Portland Kevin says, super excited to have you up in PDX. I got you covered for some of the best pizza in town. And a few other cool things to see and eat.

51:46Blessing Adeoye Jr.:with you I've done now a few limited sealed things with friends. They enjoy it so much, but I think that's because they're more magic peers. I'm here to have fun, and this shit is whooping my ass. I cannot find a strategy around it. Nothing is sticking for me, but hey, Team NT is around the corner.

53:47Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I heard they got a lot of strip clubs over there.

53:48Greg Miller:Strip clubs? Okay, yeah. I wasn't thinking strip clubs. No? I was thinking more like taxidermy apothecary shops that I was going to go into. Maybe buy like a dead rodent statue. Is that where you're going to get Andy for his birthday? Damn, you'd love that. Oh, my gosh, you would. I saw this one that had a raccoon shooting a bow and arrow, and I thought, that's a good buy.

54:08Blessing Adeoye Jr.:You're two different people. I would have been there like, where's the strip clubs at though?

54:14Tim Gettys:That's what you go to Portland for though. Bless. Yes.

54:18Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Interesting. I think Portland is known as a strip club city.

54:21Tim Gettys:Really?

54:21Blessing Adeoye Jr.:It's known as like the weird city. Portland is like cooler SF. Chad, am I wrong? I thought Portland was like somewhere with a strip club.

54:29Greg Miller:I want to be warm. No,

54:31Blessing Adeoye Jr.:because you go to the strip club to get warm. The strip club warms you up. What are you talking about? On a cold winter night. If I'm going to Portland, I'm going to a strip club. All right.

54:40Greg Miller:you know what i mean where's the ads they know they know he knows did you ever take roger to the san francisco one with the uh gold the chicken the gold special no i can convince him you know roger he's so tough he's so tough he talks this game of like oh yeah i'd love to do all this and then when it's finally time he's like no it's like okay yeah it's like i thought you were cool i thought we were going to the strip club man um let's see what else we got here kessel wing says

55:07Blessing Adeoye Jr.:watching on delay but with the tcg talk i might i have to ask barrett and mike if there's any chance of some one piece tcg streams and pack openings hashtag kind of anime i refuse to get

55:18Tim Gettys:into uh physical card games pokemon tcg pocket it's the thing that staves me away from all this nonsense that these two boys get into all the time yeah it's unfortunate logan paul got into

55:29Greg Miller:one piece and so now all the prices are skyrocketing into one and yeah me and me and poor kevin a-sex go to the local card shop and every single pack from the beginning of time to right now is$45 plus and you're like all right well I guess we're not buying one piece today y 'all

55:47Blessing Adeoye Jr.:fucking Logan Paul Motor World Hype writes in and says even though I have seen tons of stories about it I still don't get what was actually wrong with High Guard what was the issue was it really just the TGA announcement falling flat can someone in can someone nutshell this for me Mike, what was wrong with High Guard?

56:04Greg Miller:Nutshell this for you. You ready for this? All right. This is the Snowbike Mike rundown of what went wrong with High Guard. One, it closed the show at the TGAs, which was probably one of the best TGAs in recent years. There was so much hype for it. Unfortunately, people don't really care for multiplayer games like that to close out such a high-profile show. So they were like, hey, this generic-looking multiplayer shooter should not have closed the show. I now have decided to hate this game. And then the team over at High Guard was like, hey, guess what? We were going to stealth drop this even without Jeff Keighley.

56:37Greg Miller:So we're going to go on a whole month-long hiatus of not saying anything, not telling people what a raid shooter is. We're just going to wait until it's finally game time. And then they invited press and creators to come out and play the game. They all came out and was like, hey, you know what? It's actually a good time. It's not that bad of a thing. You might like it. And then the game dropped and people jumped in. They were like, you know what? It's not bad. it's just kind of good it's generic it's basic i don't want to play this anymore i've moved on to the next game and that's the story of high guard wild guard wild guard wild guard i got you um

57:15Blessing Adeoye Jr.:let's see here also very well done very well done pretty close pretty close um alva rockin 79 96 says friend mario throws him on the first pit he he finds okay we're talking about yoshi again they're throwing does mario do that or does the player do that you know what i mean i think mario's a friend of yoshi but the player and here's what i'll say also because this is gonna fall apart yeah because have you ever seen um like the animation for in mario world where mario like when yoshi sticks out his tongue yeah do you see what mario does does he do this

57:51Greg Miller:he hits him on the head he bonks he fucking bonks him to make him spit out the tongue yes so he's making yoshi do things that yoshi doesn't want to do i mean we don't know wow

58:02Tim Gettys:maybe we need to get yoshi away from mario and friends and let him ride and let other fellow animals ride on him because they know how to treat him right like fox mccloud he's treating

58:14Blessing Adeoye Jr.:him like a horse them here's the thing right we're doing guys we're doing the equivalent of digging up Mario's old tweets here. He's grown as a person. Why can't we grow? They don't do that anymore.

58:27Greg Miller:You know what I mean? It was so long ago. This will be very interesting how they show Yoshi in this movie.

58:33Tim Gettys:I'm just saying, would this adorable baby child ever hit Yoshi on the head? He wouldn't. You're right. Exactly.

58:43Greg Miller:Does Yoshi have a voice actor in this?

58:45Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Who is Yoshi? Yes. In the movie. Wait, no. I guess I don't know they've not said but they've said Yoshi has said Yoshi in the trailer Yoshi yeah just that like that yes okay and that's all Yoshi will say probably I think so

59:01Tim Gettys:Chess has been Diesel that's good that's a good joke I like that

59:03Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I could see a post credit like a dumb post credit where like Yoshi actually says a full sentence start talking

59:08Tim Gettys:yeah he says something to another Yoshi no he says it to Fox McCloud because Fox McCloud can understand him like he says something

59:15Blessing Adeoye Jr.:very sophisticated like he starts quoting Shakespeare or something I don't know Joshy Frog says Baby Bowser calls Yoshi a donkey in Yoshi's Island Well Baby Bowser's a villain I don't like all this Yoshi slander He is a villain Phil the Trucker says Relooted is awesome Thanks for putting me on, bless Hell yeah Thanks for giving it a try, that's awesome And then lastly Digital Nips writes in and says Devil's Point in Portland has stricter karaoke

59:42Greg Miller:Stripper karaoke is, I bet you what that is Oh You know what? Devil's Nips took me to a place And then when I saw the karaoke It's like yeah that's gotta be stripper karaoke

59:53Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Well Digital Nips is the writer's name Devil's Point took me to Oh I see You don't want to do stripper karaoke

1:00:00Greg Miller:Now that does sound like a blast

1:00:02Tim Gettys:Like that sounds like a unique type of strip club Experience that you could find in Portland

1:00:06Greg Miller:That sounds like we're gonna sing a lot of Will Smith together Some Men in Black Into some Wild Wild West You were requesting Will Smith Men in Black At the strip club With strippers yeah Because we're going to do the dance. We're going to do the dance and everything.

1:00:22Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Now it's time for kindofunny.com slash you're wrong. You write in. Let us know what we got wrong as we got it wrong so you can correct it for those watching later on YouTube and listening later on podcast services around the globe. Okay, guys. Multiple people are writing in saying Goofy is technically a cow slash bull at least in his early time.

1:00:39Greg Miller:Oh, he's a cow slash bull.

1:00:40Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. He's not a dog. This person named Mickey writes in and says Goofy is a cow. Now we're learning things. but I don't

1:00:47Greg Miller:I don't think that's real though because Pete his buddy doesn't look like a cow looks more cat they're all dogs pretty sure they're dogs you know what we should probably go to Disney World and find out alright let's do it we should probably go investigate

1:01:08Blessing Adeoye Jr.:let's go to Portland let's hit up Devil's Point do some karaoke come back down to LA honestly i can't even tell what goofy is in this image that barry's brought up

1:01:19Tim Gettys:but then like if we look how that's very dark early disney cartoons you know see like there's a bit more of a prominent it's the nose it's the nose the nose

1:01:34Greg Miller:because it's got the snout they're sharing similar snouts there yeah i mean that's the nose yeah it is the nose early goofy again we're pulling up goofy's old tweets yeah we can't be pulling up goofy soul tweets what are the three animated cows down there what movie is that from cow movie i look back at disney's cow movie i don't know about that i don't remember a cow i

1:01:53Blessing Adeoye Jr.:vaguely remember this yeah that looks familiar but i don't know what name on that as we're looking that up uh we got one more you're wrong from hamaguchi writes in and says barrett has been wrongly referencing a tweet from naoki hamaguchi for days now barrett keeps citing the tweet as this year we're going to learn more about final chance 7 part 3 than ever before uh then then saying then saying which is nothing but the hamaguchi actual quote is this year we plan to share more updates on the final fans 7 remake project than ever before yeah and they're doing that that is it for you're wrong and that is it for this episode of kind of funny games daily of course it was called home on the range home on the range thank you interesting if you love what we do support us the kind of funny membership on patreon or youtube to get our shows ad free and get a daily exclusive show.
