5:15Of course, we couldn't do this without our Patreon producers over on patreon.com slash kindoffunny. So thank you to Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney the Somme Twining. Let's start off 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! Roger, let's just jump right into it with story number one. GTA 6's price could finally be revealed soon as pre-orders reportedly begin Monday. This coming from Eddie Machuck at GameSpot. Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are due to begin on Monday, May 18th, according to emails being sent to Best Buy affiliate partners.

6:03The CheapAssGamer account, a reputable page for all kinds of deals related to news for video games, received the email and shared the details online. The notice said pre-orders for GTA 6's physical edition and for the campaign specifically will begin on may 18th gta 6 is expected to have an online mode too but it may not release until sometime after gta 6 launches on november 19th if pre-orders do indeed begin on may 18th the then rockstar will presumably reveal gta 6's price by then as well that's been a heavily discussed topic with a bank of america stock analyst recently saying Rockstar should price the game at$80 to help drive up prices across the wider industry.

6:52Shut up, Bank of America. Thank you, Bank of America. People are speculating that Rockstar may release a new GTA 6 trailer timed with pre-orders going live, but that's just speculation for now. Roger, you received an affiliate link to say pre-orders are getting ready. What do you think, Roger? Do we see this on May 18th? I mean, you know, this week was the week. You know, I talked to you earlier at the beginning of the week where there was rumors, speculation. People were doing the thing of like, oh, like we just had an investor call for Rockstar and take two rather. And usually that means that you get some type of trailer and like people are trying to say like maybe Tuesday, maybe it's going to be Wednesday.

7:33I do think it's imminent. We have to do it sooner rather than later. later i am gonna be very surprised even though it was my prediction if this actually is like hey november is the date and we're going for the pre-orders right now um but i this i'm excited for it man i i'm excited to see that number because i would not be surprised if it actually is 70 i think that that's where my heart is i think that you do get fucky when you have i don't know if it goes up at the same time but like the collector's editions of course of course that's when i think you can really get a hundred dollars out of a lot of people i think that's an easy slam dunk, Roger.

8:07We'll definitely see that. There will be some sort of collector's edition. There will be probably a physical collector's edition as well. As you know, I still have my money bag lock bag from GTA 5, right, and my fun little poster, but I think we will see prices range. The hope is$70, Roger, to see Rockstar stay and maintain that for the industry at large, but as we've seen with Bank of America trying to tell us, hey, maybe it should be a little bit higher. We've had the price conversation a lot, and I do want to put a pin in that because we've talked about the price for sure to death i'm more interested in one we always talk about rockstar and like preventing leagues being one of the most tight-knit crews out there and all of a sudden a best buy affiliate link is getting sent out is that truly true and then on the flip side right is this the big then gta 6 blowout right we've kind of talked about it before i'm like what is the trailer kind of run up to november and i think Bear remind me I think you researched it for me I thought it was six months ahead of time which is like now they had the big hey this is GTA this is the world and so it's like does that mean we're getting that here ahead of pre-orders and then I think you and I discussed as well Bear it went silent up until launch there wasn't much else besides that there was some previews beforehand I remember that if I remember correctly and it'll take me a couple minutes to find it I think that trailer of like this is the world of grand theft auto 5 i think that actually dropped sooner closer to launch okay i think that was maybe like the three trailers two months uh ahead of launch um but something with gta 6 especially like we're talking about like if they're actually looking to hit in november now is probably the time especially because if we look at this trailer uh trailer number two that came out last year this came out uh may um so it's roughly around that time that's crazy after a year of them finally looking to talk.

10:04They got us really waiting out there. Yeah. That was May was trailer two with the delay of November. Right. So holy cow. Yeah. I, I don't know. I mean, part of me, I know that they're, they're tight knit group, but also there's so many, so many signs of smoke right now, especially with that. Also, the reason why people were excited about potentially Tuesday happening was there There were some posts of like, hey, I went on PlayStation and like they're saying that pre-orders are up for GTA 6, even though they aren't, right? Like, so people are getting notified. This is like the second time that people have seen that pre-orders are allegedly going up soon.

10:40So now we have a date. Yeah, I do think it's time. And I hope that it is the not just one trailer. It's like, no, here's the layout, right? Like next week, you're getting the one character trailer. Next week, you're getting the next trailer. then we're going to talk about maybe around june gta online what that looks like like i i don't think you need to see too much more of the game but i do think you need the as we're alluding to what gta 5 did you know we get the voice actor we get the the the british lady in there she says you know this is what the gta 6 is and we go through it all we here's a here's a five to six minute video of what this looks like so does that we need to see gameplay on monday may 18th we get the whatever whatever size trailer it is but on monday we get a trailer and then into pre-orders we wouldn't get one maybe tomorrow I don't think that's a weird one right because I don't think you have a trailer I was thinking about this I don't think you have a trailer that ends with pre-orders up on this date I think you just say pre-orders now you gotta say pre-orders now I think it's a weird one especially for like people go back to these trailers all the time I don't know it's a weird one to have like a date on top of another date right like two dates I don't know I do think they have to be like pre-orders now trailer here it is here it's dropping but I've never talked about this I know we don't want to talk about pricing too much because we've talked about it I mean, we've talked about pricing, but we can always talk about it.

11:54I think the one thing that I, my weird prediction, which I do think could be this gray area. I think there's going to be a$70 version of this game, but I do think there's going to be an 80 to maybe a hundred dollar version of this game that gives you the game a week early. And I think that that's the way that they get around this. I think they're going to do the early access thing that fucking Soros is doing. I think Lego Batman's doing it. Like every big game is doing it now. So like having a GTA version, I think a GTA version that's like 80 to a hundred dollars. That is a week early. I don't know many people in my life that wouldn't buy that.

12:28Like that wouldn't be like, fuck man. I know it's, I know I can just wait a week, but it's GTA six, man. But I like, I think they like having the conversation all like a launch day, you know, where everybody it's similar. Like we talk about, you know, silk song being this huge thing in the indie space. Right. and that was even with reviewers everybody got it at the same time and i think kind of thinking about rockstar and and what they like to promote i could see them going that route and not kind of like falling into uh this like recent things that some people have been trying out yeah but i also think it's interesting right because it's like that moment is going to be whatever the most expensive whatever the earliest version is that's when the moment everyone's talking about gta 6 right like if anything it just it just drives even more sales of like if it's you know what is it november eight and 18th 19th 19th 19th right like if it is you know uh november 11th right like that is the date that you're gonna see everyone on the internet being like i'm playing gta 6 like fuck how do i play gta 6 i gotta pay a hundred dollars fuck i'll do it like it doesn't matter like that is the moment that that everyone will be excited about it and i think the second moment that you do get everybody on one date is the gta online that is the no matter what like i I don't think you do any form of like early access for that at all.

13:47You just say, here it is GTA online this date at break the servers. Let's fucking do it. Maybe you do. Maybe you have to do at this point, which is going to be not a rockstar move, but also I think you have to do it as some type of server slam or beta, but having that moment where everyone turns it on for the first time, that's going to be like the communal experience on top of that. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I think early selling early access is a pre-order or just ahead of the game. We've seen that many of times. They can definitely pull that lever. Shark cards will be a big one as well. Sure. Online monetization of like, hey, if you buy this for X amount of dollars, you're going to get this when the online kicks on, right?

14:22It is kind of one of those of you're buying, if it was to say, hey, if you pre-order this now for$100 or$120 for the Super Edition, you get shark cards then. It's like, well, I have to wait until GTA Online goes, but they're going to be selling those regardless. Yeah. It will be fun to see the rollout, especially now that we've seen what Grand Theft Auto is on the big stage with GTA 5. with Band Theft Auto now online after 13 years, it is fun to say, what's the speculation of how they roll this out? What's the pricing? What will be the techniques that they use? It's going to be a very interesting one.

14:56Yeah, and we can always have the same conversation we have every single time. When it's around June, does Jeff Keighley get it? Does he get it each other? We always save this conversation. I beg Tim, I say, Jeff Keighley and Rockstar finally team up together. They help him out. We have the biggest show on earth. And Tim says, no, Mike, they don't need. And you say, no, why not? And then, of course, it never happened. And then he won't. Unfortunately, they will do this. If this is right, they'll do this on the 18th or a couple weeks before Summer Game Fest. It'll be close enough to Summer Game Fest where Jeff Keighley can come out and be like, how about that Grand Theft Auto trailer?

15:29Pretty cool. The industry is going to be in a great spot. Let's show you some more games, right? So like, there's a little layup right there. You can have some fun with that. Roger, let's move on to story number two. Amazon reportedly cancels Lord of the Rings MMO. This coming from Sophie McAvoy at GI Biz. Amazon has reportedly canceled its Lord of the Rings MMO, according to sources familiar with the project. As Eurogamer reports, the cancellation occurred shortly after layoffs last October that impacted Amazon game division. Jeff Gaddis, Amazon's head of games, did not confirm or deny that the cancellation, but stated that the company is developing a, quote, new game experience, end quote.

16:12set in the Lord of the Rings universe. Quote,

16:28Amazon announced a Lord of the Rings MMO in 2019 in partnership with LiU Technologies. The project was canceled two years later following Tencent's acquisition of LiU in 2020. In 2023, Amazon partnered with Embracer, owner of Middle Earth Enterprises, to develop the Lord of the Rings MMO. Amazon Games Orange County, the studio behind New World, was leading development. New World is scheduled to go offline in January 2027. Layoffs affected teams working on both games. Sources said a thousand developers began transitioning from New World to the Lord of the Rings project months before the layoffs, and the project was entering pre-production when the cuts happened.

17:14An internal memo from Steve Boom, Amazon's vice president of audio, Twitch, and games, said the layoffs resulted from halting a significant amount of first-party game development, especially related to MMOs. Sources claimed the layoffs were due to an AI mandate introduced before the cuts. This included development of an internal project called Project Trident, which reportedly relies heavily on generative AI. Gaddis denied that AI was the reason for the role reduction in the games division, stating that the changes were due to a, quote, strategic shift in Amazon's business, end quote. Quote from Gaddis.

17:55great games are made by talented people and we think ai should expand what's possible gattis said we remain focused on using those technologies thoughtfully and responsibly always guided by the creative and judgment of our teams we're proud of what our teams are creating and we look forward to sharing more of what they've been building soon end quote roger yep uh lord of the rings mmo reportedly uh reportedly being canceled the use of ai at amazon yeah what do you think uh yeah uh this also goes off of uh an article from euro gamer uh written over by connor maker uh going through kind of uh the project trident uh and all the woes over there and that dance required reading uh blessing told us to read that and i was like very impressed by the reporting over there uh because it goes in depth of like what they were asked for in like the timeline of project trident which i think goes hand in hand with the ai sensibilities that they're talking about here uh basically tldr is that they were at there was like rumblings of ai of course like any big tech company of like are they going to use it what's going on there and then there was like the top down mandate of like hey you have to figure this out so project trident was a smaller game uh they were kind of in this weird flux after new world of like what to do in the article they also say that like uh according to one source that there was only like three people like working on the lord of the rings mmo which is like an absurd thing to hear about like this the this should be all hands on deck everybody working on this thing for a long time it was three people working on this thing kind of ideating on it and then finally they had this big push and it just it goes back to like i feel like this is groundhog day we've talked about amazon studios for so long um of like what they're doing here in the gaming space but like they just do not understand what it takes to make video games and to make them sustainable and they don't even know when it comes to their mandates right this article is uh that i'm referencing from your gamer is pretty bleak in a lot of ways right of course you have the ai mandates you know coming in there and taking this project trident which was this uh shadow the colossus type game that then ends up becoming this weird like llm like thing where you're talking to npcs and it's like this comedy nordic game it's bizarre um and they tried to make this into something and they were forced to make this game like like this they didn't want to make an ai game and then they get all laid off and there's a great quote at the ending where one of the developers that was laid off says like hey like you just basically forced us to make ai video games right we put all of our time and effort into making this learning it being basically like some of the forefronting uh forefront um leaders in making ai video games whatever the fuck that means and we learned a lot and then you just cut us right like we learned a lot of things that could have been useful to you even in your you know we can debate and talk about how bad ai is which it is and then these people are actually like experts in the field and then you cut them it's like insane we learned how to use it respectfully and like the right way and we were like we were on board of like this is like how it probably should go and then yeah we just cut that you just cut it right so again it shows to like they don't know what they're doing here and you know they have this lord of the rings mmo idea which seems like a banger idea right but they are not like hey maybe it's a budget thing maybe it is they can they can see dollar signs and making something a little bit cheaper maybe a more single player experience i know that there was rumors of that uh the kingdom come deliverance team and potentially working on something right so uh yeah i mean it's heartbreaking and it just shows that like amazon whether it's video games movies to a certain extent like they They are a company that is trying to come into different mediums and different areas, and they don't really know how to best engage with it.

21:39They just know how to be Amazon. Yeah, Roger, you did a great job running down that Eurogamer article, and I would recommend everyone go read that because it is very interesting to kind of get a peek behind the curtain. There's a lot of like sources there that they reference, but it is a pretty wild run up of where Amazon kind of started and where they are now. right and we talk about a couple of their hits in the mmo space right new world aternum out there you had throne and liberty i believe you had one more that's escaping my mind lost arc and those all each one of them caught a little fire a couple of them caught real big fires but they just couldn't sustain it and it is interesting of like man they have so many titles drawn to their name right we're talking about tomb raider of course with crystal dynamics is still going on an ip like lord of the rings what do you do with that i do think that the mmo space is very difficult to crack and like sustain in and so i i can see them going hey we have the ip which could probably carry us but at the same time the mmo space is already so difficult i would be making a totally different lord of the rings game i would be leaning in toward the shadow of mordor the lord of the rings the two towers i would be going for more of a single player maybe a fun co-op like experience but I wouldn't go into the MMO space.

22:55That's a great call. I mean, I do think that that shows maybe how dated their references are when it comes to game development, right? I think they thought of like, hey, what are the best ways to like get people's interest and not do a Fortnite thing? Well, MMOs, you know, World of Warcraft, like that was that big gold rush for a while in the 2000s. And now we're at this point where, yeah, of course the big Amazon company coming in and making some pretty good MMOs is going to catch fire in the people that are playing MMOs, right? it but like that is the mmo has baggage right now in 2026 there is there's a group of people that really like mmos and there's a group of people that like will not touch an mmo and just because of what it is of what they know that time sync is going to be uh and maybe the types of games that they're not usually interested in so i i agree with you i i do think that that was kind of a uh a false hope right there of making a lord of the rings mmo be successful and be sustainable in 2026 but uh i i just kind of i feel so bad for all these developers of like making some really cool stuff working within the mandates and the vision of vision quote-unquote of amazon and what they think could be successful and rising to that occasion in some cases especially with the ai video game and potentially with what they're working on with lord of the ring rings and like being laid off and being told like ah we fucked up ah you're out you're out of a job now and it's just it just shows like when these big companies come into fields that they don't fully know they are going to fuck over a lot of people's lives and careers yes unfortunately because you have to rely on the people that know the industry know the business and you get all these talented developers and you get them into the team and as that article stated right when people were coming off of new world and then transitioning into the lord of the rings they thought like oh well thousands of us will be moved over there right or maybe hundreds and that wasn't the case and so that is pretty wild you would think that's just like the logical step hey we're gonna round out new world let's move you over here let's start building this but i just don't think they're ready for that amazon doesn't seem to be ready from everything that we've read that we see they've continued what they've been doing over the past three years right i still think of summer game fest that we went to a couple years ago where they had thrown in liberty and new world and lost ark and it was like oh they're gonna make a splash here and then that just didn't really carry over years later it's too many shifts too fast right like you have to kind of focus in on a lane in game development and like go with it and see it through because the way that they're maneuvering it's like you're not going to see returns on a lot of these for a very long time quick quick cheap exactly right and that's the thing with the ai game that was so interesting reading this article of like they believed that that was a cheat code to make video game fast it's like that's not how this is going to work like you can't just say ai and video game i can make it in a year and that just shows the the understanding level of understanding or the lack of understanding that amazon has when it comes to game development and how fast these things are moving i think that's why they are gravitating towards snoop dog ai court video game and luna right like things that they can kind of license out or just you know have this platform that's basic based on aws and their back end uh that is a little bit more i would say synergistic with their values and what they already have building but like going in there like it's not like movies like even movies they've up so many times with movies and like they just now have a big hit with um project hail mary but like before that they're making like red one like you know what i mean like movies that no one's watching you know what i mean they're they're not hits they're they're putting out all this money into this but even then you can turn around and make a movie in two years right like you can turn around and make a movie really fast video games you're talking five six years sometimes right like and that's sometimes the good outcome there for a triple a video game so yeah they have a lot of learning to do and i am very very trepidatious i always say this with tomb raider like tomb raider is like such an interesting thing to like kind of hang the hat on and be like wow like i guess you know this is our big hope now it's like i just i i don't believe in it i i love team raider i love that franchise i just do not believe that this is going to be the turnaround for them that they they want in terms of investment uh so very very uh very cautious about that one a couple of big ips tied up with them as well you know they just have some big names there so we'll see where they go in the future roger we're talking more game news but we're going to give you a quick word from our sponsors and we'll be right back.

Reddit is the app for authentic conversations about anything and everything. I'd be embarrassed of the amount of time that I spend on Reddit every single day if I was going there for only one thing. But over the years, I've learned there's a subreddit for every single interest, question, or community I could possibly be looking for. So I feel my time is justified. Every single day, I check out r slash Gaming Leaks Rumors for the latest in video game news, r slash TV Too High to make fun of people who mount their TVs too high, and countless other subreddits to make me laugh, learn, or even just feel like I'm part of a community.

30:57There are subreddits for every game, genre, and niche. MMOs, shooters, RPGs, speedruns, modding, lore, everything. Reddit is where all the real gamers are. Download the Reddit app and dive into r slash gaming leaks and rumors for the latest gaming updates, or our very own r slash kinda funny to talk games with the best friends. Download the Reddit app today. Welcome back, everyone. Roger, we ask you, the audience out there, to come in and support us here at Kind of Funny by helping keeping the lights and mics on with your YouTube membership, your Patreon memberships, of course, your Twitch subs, and more.

31:31But we also say, hey, if you want to get involved in the conversation, you can super chat on youtube.com slash kindoffunnygames anytime we do a Kind of Funny Games daily or Gamescast. Roger, kick me some super chats in the chat. We got Jameson Peters over here doing a great super chat saying AMD just announced FSR 4.1 is coming to RDNA 3 in the summer and RDNA 2 next year. Big news for handhelds like ROG Ally. FSR 4.1 is very close in quality to DLSS. Very excited for that. I've been playing on my ROG Ally so I've been tinkering with all that. Even tinkering with some of the the lossless one. Whatever.

32:09All the different versions of this. The Intel stuff. so it's cool to see. Nice. I love that stuff. That's great. Is this how Sonic is going to look with an FSR 4.1? Do we think? Alright, we're going to have to ban it. Can we turn off the TV maybe? Do we have to look at that? Disgusting. Sonic. Fucking Sonic. Okay, that's pretty cool. Stop looking at it. Oh, fuck his teeth. Human teeth. Aaron Lime Super Chats and says, no shade to the boys, but man I'm so tired of hearing about GTA 6. LOL. I want to see some gameplay and then not hear about it until launch fair. I mean, we're, we're sick about talking about it to be honest.

32:47As you saw me push away from Roger, like we don't got to talk about the price today. I already took that on the chin last week with blessing. You know, we did that a bunch. We'll see how it goes, Roger. I mean, I love talking about GTA and I'll talk. I will talk about the price all day long. If that's the conversation, but like GTA is the biggest thing around. I can't wait to see more of it. I'll talk about it till November till the cows come home. I mean, here's the thing. It's like right now, because it's been a year of us just dealing with this one fucking trailer. As soon as we get a little bit more, oh, we're excited about it.

33:18I want to know all about the cars, the side missions. You give us like a little bit more about this, we're locked in. That's all it is. We were talking about the foam in a beer bottle. We're like, I think that's Modelo. I think that's what a parody of it. They're like, the development team on this is cooking. They got foam in a beer bottle. It's like, all right, we need some more content. We need to figure this out. We're starved. that Matt Bowers says on a GTA 6. Now, I'm pretty sure everyone is saying Leonite. Leonida. How do you say that one? Leon, Leonida, Leonida, because they're saying, wouldn't the Ida be like Florida?

33:52Eh, duh. And Leon said like the name Pizza Bet. That makes sense. Okay. I don't like, yeah. Leonida? Leonida? Leonida? I hate that. Leonida. Doesn't have a good mouthfeel. Leonida. It's going to be Leo. They should have just called it flow rider. Oh, love flow rider. I love flow rider. Shout out to him. Unless he's problematic. I don't know. Benny, be good. Super test is happy. B day. Mike, sorry. They subscribed to become a member for 33 months. Happy birthday. Mike, Phil, the trucker has been on a, on a tear right here. I will, I'll get, I'll get, I'll get a few times, but talking about the cost of development, they said cost development versus retail price of games is unsustainable.

34:34Can't complain about prices and cry. every time a developer closes, GTA should set a new bar. I don't know if I agree necessarily of like, they should set a new bar for the entire industry, but I mean, I understand a one-off situation like GTA is the most expensive video game of all time. So, you know, if a software takes a billion dollars to make, I understand that. I don't know if it's like a new bar for the entire AAA industry, but I do like right now where we're at, where some games are$60, some games are$80, some games are$70, you know what I mean? And we can play it with$40, right? Like, I think that's what we're going to have to be when it comes to this economy of like, there's going to be some games that are like, hey, we can really make a mark right here, making a$40 video game right now.
