Guests

Tim Geddes and Roger Percorny (co-hosts). No other guests appear as interview subjects.

Key claims / notable examples

  1. Horizon Zero Dawn movie: Sony/Columbia plans a live-action Horizon film with a working script, aiming to start filming in 2026 and release in 2027; Aloy is framed as a key franchise icon.
  2. Switch 2 production: Nintendo reportedly asked suppliers to make up to 25 million Switch 2 units by March 2026, targeting record first-year sales; discussion ties this to system-selling franchises like Animal Crossing and a likely Pokemon timing strategy.
  3. Nintendo server breach / Pokemon leaks: Nintendo says any breach was minimal and limited to servers hosting websites; it doesn’t address the bigger Pokemon development-leak claims. A hacking group called Crimson Collective is mentioned.
  4. Ubisoft leadership: Former Assassin’s Creed boss Mark Alexis Cote says he didn’t leave voluntarily; Ubisoft asked him to step aside amid restructuring under Vantage Studios (Tencent-backed).
  5. Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 reviews: Scores cluster around the low-to-mid 60s on Metacritic/OpenCritic, with mixed praise (characters/environment/story) and criticism (rough/functional feel).

I'm going to miss her, but that means you know what I get to do all weekend? Watch Splinter Cell Death Watch. Oh, okay. That's all I'm going to do. Even though if she was here, I would still do that. It would be the same thing, but now I get to fully know life in. Just start to finish the entire weekend. I'm so excited. You don't need to do that thing where you're sitting there like, what do you think? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or like, hey, do you want to do anything else?

3:05Tim Gettys:Are you sure you're cool with this? You want to watch Sex and the City? You want to watch something else? No? Okay. I could just sit there in the living room and just be like, oh, Splinter Cell. Am I remembering correctly that a couple days ago it was renewed for season two? Yeah, but those are always fake renewals. You know how the deal is with animation now. I don't know if you know about this. No, maybe not. Correct me if I'm wrong, Chad. Let me know if you have the actual insider information. From what I've heard is that basically they just do two seasons of animation at once, basically to not renew contracts or to kind of have it as one contract.

3:34Tim Gettys:So yeah, you see two seasons of every single animation project out there. like Cuphead got two seasons immediately like but they they've saved the second season announcement for yeah yeah yeah I ain't mad at that yeah that's better than having to wait like euphoria season three people are talking about today and I'm just like Trisha Paytas like yeah huge deal Trisha Paytas everybody big bro um I I have some bullshit I need to bring the table let's talk about some stuff um and and by bullshit I mean like you know it's bullshit but it's good bullshit it's Tim bullshit okay my favorite bullshit if I wasn't doing what I'm doing there was an alternate world that I am another man.

4:09And that man's name is Baby No Money. Are you familiar with Baby No Money?

4:13Tim Gettys:Yes, I'm familiar with Baby No Money. I love Baby No Money. I don't think it'd be a surprise that I love Baby No Money. Not at all. Baby No Money self-titled album dropped today. Okay. And if you have ever heard a Baby No Money song, you've heard every Baby No Money song. Yeah. And this album is 21 Baby No Money songs. 21? 21. No. It's 21 Baby No Money songs. I think it's like 30 minutes. Okay, that's an issue. Wait, what? it's fantastic there's no way it is just it's just fun music for stupid people 21 i'm about to have a great weekend that's insane shaking my little culo culo speaking of culos everybody something's been going on in the streets of kind of funny yeah we gotta talk about we gotta talk about this a lot of cryptic messages and tweets coming at us and i'm like i don't know what this means this is i thought this was like an inside joke from greg that he was talking to the audience, but no.

5:04Tim Gettys:It's a big deal. I need to explain some things, okay? Starting with an apology. Following up with a, I'm on it. I'm trying to fix it. Following up with a, this might be the funniest thing to ever happen. It's kind of funny. Go in order. There's been a lot of problems with podcasts. If you guys have, I've been talking about it on shows. You've been seeing things. A lot of podcast service backends change. A lot of problems. Shows not playing right. Shows playing way too many ads in weird places and stuff. We're trying to fix it. We're on it. We understand that there's some problems. Absolutely. But one of the problems that people have been bringing up is the fact that ads have been randomly playing in our podcasts.

5:43Sometimes the same ad interrupting us and playing multiple times throughout the episode. Oh, wow. And obviously that's annoying. Obviously we understand, hey, we need to fix this. There's been Reddit threads. There's been tweets. People have been letting us know that there's one ad in particular that people keep bringing up that I don't even want to spoil what the context is, the content is, because there's a clip that we will play. But I'm reading what they're saying the ad is, and it's not making sense to me. Yeah, I saw that. I mean, Greg talked about it, and it's not making sense to him. You, without talking to us, you read it, not making sense to you.

6:16No sense. Right? What I'm going to do right now is play a clip that a best friend tweeted at me that explains what's happening on these podcast ads. So everybody, listen to this for the next 26 seconds. is a subjective take that i would definitely suggest you go to a best buy and get your hands on these different things to see what you like because it is a big investment for this type of product when i was there you had to have a knife one of you's got to take turns carrying it up your rectum wait it's up your butt that's the prison wallet you'll never leave home you have something protected around it i'm assuming yeah or else you'll be bleeding out your culo i'm mariana van zeller and after reporting on black markets for my em is a subjective take that i would in definitely suggest what the fuck what the actual fuck is happening that ad is just playing multiple times throughout a podcast someone put on the reddit that it happened five times throughout the podcast honestly on brand on brand i don't know i don't know what's happening everybody who's trying to know it's on our top of our list but also it's hilarious yeah it's also really good um anyways that's that and also the fact that everyone thinks it's nick makes it so much better oh man remember everybody before we do

After that games cast is our keeper review. And after games cast is a sponsored arc Raiders stream. If you're a kind of funny member, today's Greg ways coming at you from Mike today, or thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster and Delaney, the Psalm twining for now, let's begin with what is and forever will be the Roper report. it's time for some news we have six stories today a baker's dozen story number one live action horizon zero dawn movie has a quote working script and release plans this comes from wesley and pool at ign wow sony's hoping to start filming its live action horizon zero dawn movie in 2026 with the release at some point in 2027 according to a new court document the game post said it had spotted the revelation in a court document filed as far as of Sony's ongoing legal tussle over Tencent over light of Motor Ram which it accuses of being a knockoff of Gorilla's video game Horizon Zero Dawn.

10:26In the legal document PlayStation Productions boss Assad Kizlebash says the Horizon Zero Dawn movie now has a working script and Sony's on the hunt for a director the plan is to start filming next year and release the movie in 2027. We're in development for a film based on Horizon in partnership with Columbia Pictures. We already have a working script and are actively searching for a director with the goal of shooting the picture in 2026 and releasing in 2027. The live action film follows the recent collaborations between Columbia and PlayStation on the 2022 films Uncharted and the 2023 film Gran Turismo.

10:58Both hits. He described Horizon protagonist Aloy as a key icon in the anticipated film and emphasizes her importance to the flywheel of franchise building. Wow. the flywheel of franchise building whoa they're took their rides what do you think about this

11:15Tim Gettys:oh man uh i love the i love the flywheel franchise building this is yeah i mean we this is a weird project because it was a netflix thing and then what was it the creator was canceled and then they canceled that thing and now they're making it into a movie they're trying to make for horizon into this big multimedia extravaganza doing a whole lego game trying to make a whole live action movie i i'm sure why not i guess i i do i do think it has a really cool open world i actually think it would be better as a tv series i could see that a little bit more in my brain with you know the way that they can deal with kind of the future and the past and like all that jazz uh this doesn't excite me this this is not necessarily the franchise in total like i'm not a horizon person seeing this as a movie is like yeah whatever uh i'm just more of like thinking about the other franchises that playstation can play with and i just said battle i mean yeah the cock now what was metal season on the what the cock oh peacock i forgot that existed for a second that scared me a little bit i use it every day are you a horizon person every day you watch every single day oh because of housewives yeah okay i thought you're watching twist of metal every single day just most days this smells so good everybody watched with some metal um i i'm not really a horizon person uh it's i'm not not but i i'm a little on the other end of you when it comes to the tv show versus movie thing like i think horizon needs the budget because like the cool things about horizon are these robot dinosaurs yeah the colors you know like the beautiful vistas and just like what the the look that they have going for them i think that is a good selling point i think people are intrigued by and then you can sell that to a mainstream audience and aloy i think that they could some in some ways get better on the big screen compared to the video game sure um so i i think that there's a chance that this movie hits i don't think it's a guaranteed hit i don't think it's even a likely hit but i do think that this this as a movie that they're putting out i do think it's going to add to the franchise and raise awareness of it and like i don't expect that this is going to be bad let me say that no well i say that and then like they fucked up an uncharted movie so i don't know like it seems like even like the the slam dunks as it were just it when it comes to sony you just never know like Like, it's just such an, they're in an interesting place because they have, of course, Last of Us, right?

13:31Tim Gettys:Which they kill and that's incredible and they're doing multiple seasons and that's such a huge franchise right now. But I just don't, I want them to have consistent hits when it comes to theatrical releases and adaptations that are outside of that. And looking forward to it, when I think about the pantheon of what Sony and PlayStation have when it comes to mascot characters, like the the lack of them not making good actually accessible theatrical releases that are adaptations of their mascot characters is kind of baffling to me because they own sony animation which is doing some of the best animation in the business right now and the fact that there isn't an astrobot movie there isn't a ratchet and clank movie that is actually you know something that people want to see that looks new and doesn't feel like it's just a spinoff of the of the game right like i I mean, isn't that what it is, though?

14:20They did it. They literally did what you're saying.

14:21Tim Gettys:Yeah, but I just don't, I think in 2025, there's a different tinge to whether they need to go with it. Like, the way they released that, it just didn't work out. They need, like, to make this an actual theatrical, budgeted film that feels like, hey, we have Hollywood players in this. This is a big deal. We have actors. We have names. Chris Pratt. Chris Pratt, sure, why not? But, like, you can make whatever, even Sly Cooper. I know that's a joke, but, like, you have these cute characters that have this lineage that have really interesting backstories and lore and characters. like it's all right there in front of you and i understand why they're doing aloy right why they're doing horizon because this is a franchise they're still making games for that they're trying to make you know into something that is going to live past uh just an old franchise that's selling old games but you know it's just interesting to me that they have sony animation over here and they're not really doing anything with it that's what interests me a little bit more yeah mad rocks in the chat has the greatest greatest comment i've seen which is this uh horizon movie is going to release the same day as the zelda movie just as tradition that's great i mean isn't zelda 2027 i think it is yeah that's hilarious the rogers say sly coopers are jokes don't fucking don't get at me okay i'm the number one sly cooper person in this office i love sly congratulations yeah i will take that i will take that anybody else is fighting for that person okay i love sly cooper and i was devastated to hear that that sly cooper movie literally i I think it was a few years ago.

15:44Tim Gettys:They're like, oh yeah, by the way, of course we canceled the movie. Did they ever officially say that? I think I saw some. Because I don't even think they did. I remember seeing something where someone's like, yeah, for sure this is canceled. This is not happening. This is just, it was just like a proof of concept. It wasn't even in production. And that broke my heart. That broke my heart years later, even though I already knew. But like, I didn't really know. I can't wait for the Zelda movie. Do you, really? Oh yeah, dude. From the Planet of the Apes director? Yeah, that's true. Hell, yeah. God.

16:10Tim Gettys:Have you seen the Maze Runner movies? No. I feel like we should watch some Maze Runner movies together I like that I know you got a lot of stuff going on That seems like number one priority I feel like we gotta figure that out right now Let's move on to story number two here Nintendo aims to make 25 million Switch 2's To set gaming history Whoa This comes from Takashi and Debbie over at Bloomberg Nintendo company has asked suppliers To produce as many as 25 million Switch 2's By the end of March 2026 Setting the company up for record first year sales of a console that's already reached high watermarks for the global gaming sector.

16:45The Japanese company is asking its manufacturing partners to ramp up output, counting on demand to persist over the coming holidays and into the new year, according to people familiar with the matter. Nintendo, which began assembly of the Switch 2 around the end of calendar 2024, may still adjust the final production figures when it gets a clearer reading of demand during the critical holiday shopping season. As of now, Nintendo's likely to comfortably surpass analyst estimates for sales of 17.6 million devices in the fiscal year ending in march let alone its own much lower public forecast the people said asking not to be named discussing private plans nintendo can be asked to sell roughly 20 million units of switch to this fiscal year based on sorry nintendo can be expected to sell roughly 20 million units of the switch to this fiscal year based on the shipping estimates from its assembly partners with any leftover consoles in inventory for the next year.

17:36The company's Tokyo-traded shares reversed losses and rose 2.6 % on Friday. The ambitious production plan, which hasn't previously been reported, shows an entertainment giant going all out to secure the success of its flagship device and avoid the mistakes of rivals. Nintendo's future hinges on the$450 Switch 2 being a success, and the company more than doubled marketing spending around its June launch to ensure it got off to a fast start.

18:00Tim Gettys:You know what this means. What's it mean, Raj? They're doubling down. They're like, man, a lot of people going to buy these Switch 2s because Animal Crossing. It's back. It's coming out soon. I mean, I stand by my Animal Crossing thoughts even more now of, yo, wait. Yo, wait. Yo, wait. Because you want to get 25 million more Switch 2s in the wild so you can sell 25 million more copies of Animal Crossing when it's time. Nintendo's crushing it right now. Every couple weeks, we're releasing the game. Tidying people over. All right? Is it a game people have played before? a lot of people, but a lot of people haven't.

18:34And guess what? Those new people they're playing these games and loving them. Old people buying them again. Still loving them. Bang. Bang, bang, bang. Metroid Prime 4, it's going to sell something. It's going to sell something. Maybe a few dozen. That dozen will add up nicely. But yeah, it's very interesting to look at their run they've had this year and how we've got that big direct so we know a little bit about early next year. They are not slowing down releasing games. Like, People might be upset for whatever reason of no 3D Mario, this or that, but like they're putting out just consistent titles every couple of weeks, it feels like.

19:11So, I mean, we just launched a Pokemon game, right? Yeah, we did. Fuck. Like they're going to sell a lot of these things and they are already and they're going to continue to. But yeah, these numbers are crazy.

19:22Tim Gettys:Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, it's I think when going into the Switch 2, I was hesitant about how much it would sell. Not because you don't want to ever, you know, doubt Nintendo post Switch, right? I mean, like that is that is that is a you should not be doing that. But I was like, I don't know. It just feels like everyone has a Switch 1. The economy is not too great. Are people actually going to go out there and buy a Switch 2? But it seems like they're hungry for it. And I think it's only going to grow as I joke around about it. But like, yeah, as we get those Animal Crossings, as we get those full on Switch 2.

19:51Tim Gettys:So when we get the new Pokemon game, whatever that is, that is just a Switch 2 video game. I don't know if that actually will happen for any time soon. Oh, next year. Next year? Yeah. I mean, it's like... You think they're not going to do no cross-gen? No Switch 1? No. Pokemon game? Really? Yeah. I mean, so far, Pokemon generations have been... This is the clean breaking point. They've always done that because they do look at it as a system seller. It's one of the rare franchises that actually has that power to get people to upgrade. And they always time it where the games don't come out too close to the...

20:20it's not first year of the systems launch, right? But yeah, Pokemon day is February 27th next year. And that's their, I keep saying this, but 30th anniversary for 10th generation. Like it's all but assured that game will be revealed in February and come out in October or November next year. Wow.

20:38Tim Gettys:And it's switched to exclusive. Yes. Yeah. I think that there's a huge 95 % chance it's switched to exclusive. Wow. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I, I, I think what Nintendo is doing there, They're really pushing it. I can see, again, the fact that they have held back so much when we talk about there is no 3D Mario game. There is no fully exclusive Switch 2. Here's the brand new next generation that is only on the Switch 2 Pokemon game. There is so much. Stop it. You're right. There's not. However, there is no new 3D Mario, but there's Mario Galaxy, Mario Galaxy 2. There's no new Switch 2 exclusive Pokemon game, but there is Pokemon Legends.

21:18it's like of course they have these they have enough what i'm saying is like and then now they

21:22Tim Gettys:can actually open up the floodgates and be like yo here is these here's what you've been looking for in the next three years right it's going to happen we're going to get an animal crossing in the next three years right like these things are going to happen and yeah the fact that they are they are so bullish on this future man we're gonna get a lot of cool games man we're gonna get a lot of cool oh yeah we're gonna get a lot of cool games man um let's move on to story number three Nintendo responds to reports its servers were breached while keeping silent on the Pokemon Terra. This comes from Tom Phillips at IGN.

21:53Nintendo's responded to reports that its servers were recently breached by hacking group Crimson Collective. You fucking losers. It's pretty sick though. It's pretty sick. I'm just very jealous. No development or business information was taken. In a statement to Japanese newspaper, the Sankai Shinbun, Nintendo suggested that any breach had been minimal and limited to servers simply hosting its websites. The short statement notably makes no mention of this week's other major hacking story that has dominated gaming headlines. The continued spread of development details relating to the Pokemon franchise originating from a confirmed breach of developer Game Freak servers last year.

22:34Which, real quick, just speaking on that, I do not have this verified. I like when I read it I'm like that doesn't sound true but I've seen enough people circulating it that that I like I trust them so they I assume did the research on this but it sounds like this Pokemon CEO um like directly reached out to Central Leaks and was like you gotta fucking stop this oh really which is like you know they're like super dapper dude yeah every time he pops up in the direct we're like yeah yeah yeah it sounds like he personally reached out and was like stop Whoa. Crazy stuff. Nintendo has attempted to pursue those responsible for last year's so-called Terra leak of Pokemon details, which until this week appeared to be confined to information on past projects.

23:16But Nintendo does not appear to have had much success in locating the culprit. And this week, a further cache of development details that seemingly chart the Pokemon company's roadmap of game releases until at least 2030 have hit the Internet. Jesus. Timed to hit alongside the launch of Pokemon Legend ZA. last week crimson collective claimed it had breached nintendo servers and an image purporting it to show a long list of nintendo development files was widely shared on social media we've not confirmed any leak of personal information there's been no leak of development or business

23:46Tim Gettys:information nintendo statement today reads yeah crazy stuff i mean i've seen headlines and random things that of course i'm not going to repeat because i don't know how substantiated any of these things are of just pokemon headlines crazy things here and there so uh yeah it's wild that they didn't talk about the pokemon thing but i assume it's because this actually happened and this is real and this is huge i mean well the pokemon thing is is undeniably real yeah like there's not even a question yeah that it is real this is happening yeah yeah it's just that the nintendo is the only one that they're saying something because hey this is it's not as deep as some people might have thought it was where this was this is not actually business development and the future of nintendo specifically but pokemon clearly is out there until 2030 apparently so that's yeah that's wild i mean what did have you seen any of these leaks have you have you done deep dive yeah i mean with the amount of uh pokemon i haven't done deep dives and stuff but with the amount of pokemon uh fandoms that i follow on social media it's like yeah it's it's unavoidable at this point to see a ton of the stuff that was there but yeah the nintendo stuff i i i knew that i them even talking here about there being um development details and then it's saying there was not it's like i didn't even hear there was i thought this was more of like a personal information like we're being assholes type thing yeah um they're still being assholes this is all bad absolutely this all sucks but uh yeah the pokemon stuff unavoidable yeah it sucks especially seeing like the 2030 thing of like seeing having all these develop these developers working on things that are in flux that might not happen or are happening that you know just it you never know where it's at we saw with the insomniac leak of like once these things hit the internet people start to create expectations that are just not how video games are developed where things just change on the fly things are things are evolved and things might not happen the way that they thought they were going to happen 10 years ago or five years ago rather uh so yeah it's it's it sucks for the developers and it sucks honestly for fans to like see this stuff and then be like oh well that has to be happening and they might start thinking about things that are just never going to happen yeah i mean already like the the pokemon roadmap included it started a couple years ago so we already know things didn't oh yeah so it's like we're already off to the worst version of what you're saying yeah expectations being completely out of whack of stuff um but it's there's exciting things there but we'll see like how much of that actually comes to fruition and uh it's going to be interesting to see this generation of pokemon this generation of nintendo in general but yeah crimson collective get together y 'all don't be doing this stuff yeah did they do both these leaks probably not right they just did the i know crimson collective is just a nintendo thing okay i don't know we don't know who's behind the pokemon thing oh yeah we don't know the culprits the culprits are big question mark yeah they're at large yeah i want to get to a couple super chats here um zen manmu writes in saying been living been loving the content just got my ghost of yote platinum last night about to start my death stranding journey after work today oh which death stranding just joining one where are you at with death stranding two at this point oh i love it i i need to get back to it but i'm like in a rock and a hard place because i want to play yote i want 100 that i want 100 death stranding and then I have embargoed things.

26:45Tim Gettys:So I just don't want to do, you know what I mean? Like I just, those things are just not going to happen. Right. I have too many things. And I'm also picking up ball pit in the middle of the night. It's 1130 PM. I'm like, I got to go to bed and I walk past my living room and I see my, my beautiful switch too with the nice little red and blue D brain skin and the kill switch right there. I'm just like this. I want to hold this and I pick it up and then just 25 minutes later, I'm just ball pitting. Andy told me recently, he taught me that I was doing things wrong in ball pit. And that's the reason I didn't like the game is because I wasn't upgrading my character.

27:13Tim Gettys:And I was like, oh, that makes sense. Then I just started upgrading my character, and yeah, the game's way better. It's just way better. I felt like he compared to Snowbike Mike in Elden Ring where he was like, Mike never upgraded his weapons, and he thought that the E level was good. He's the lowest you can be when it comes to the strength of a weapon, and he just never upgraded his weapons. And that's exactly what I did for Ball Pit. So funny. So everybody upgrade your stuff in Ball Pit. Jossie G says, Rost is 100 % going to be Jack Black. I don't think so, but I get it, and we'll see. We'll get it.

So many quotes. So many quotes. Story number four. Former Assassin's Creed boss says he did not leave voluntarily. Oh, Lord. Quote, I stayed at my post until Ubisoft asked me to step aside. This comes from Andy Chalk at PC Gamer. The day after Ubisoft confirmed his departure, former Assassin's Creed franchise boss Mark Alexis Cote says he did not choose to leave the company, but was asked to step aside by leadership after being offered a reduced role at Ubisoft's new Vantage Studios subsidiary.

36:38Kote's departure from Ubisoft on October 15th came without warning and was particularly a surprise because of the success of Assassin's Creed Shadows just seven months prior. The culmination of an effort to restore the series' flagging fortunes that began with his elevation to executive producer in 2018. But while Ubisoft said it was deeply grateful for his impact on the Assassin's Creed games and saddened to see him go, it was also apparently the company's idea that he leave. many of you have expressed surprise that i would choose to leave assassin's creed after so many years especially given the passion i still hold for it uh he wrote in an emotional occasionally gut gutting message posted on linkedin the truth is simple i did not make that choice ubisoft decided to transfer the leadership of assassin's creed to someone closer to its new organizational structure a different position was mentioned but it did not carry the same scope mandate or continuity with the work i had been entrusted with in recent years the assassin's creed games along with far Star Cry and Rainbow Six are now under the control of Vantage Studios.

37:35Vantage, Vantage.

37:37Tim Gettys:I was going to say Vantage. That's not how you spell Vantage, right? Yeah. Or is it how you spell Vantage? I don't know. I don't know how to write. How do you spell Vantage? I've never thought about it. Vantage. I'm typing. I just wrote the exact same thing, and I don't know. Is Vantage a word? Vantage Point? Mm-hmm. Or is that just slang for Advantage? Everyone's saying it. That's how you spell it. Vantage Studios. Tencent-backed subsidiary headed up by co-CEOs Christophe Derenes and Ubisoft. A Ubisoft veteran who's been with the company for 35 years. And Charlie Guimot, son of Ubisoft CEO Yves Guimot, who headed up development of the now-shuttered Tom Clancy's Elite Squad mobile game.

38:16Then co-founded an NFT company. And then returned to Ubisoft to assume leadership of its three biggest franchises. Congratulations. You're a fucking idiot. Ubisoft, to assume leadership. despite all that, Kote says he holds no resentment and that he'll always be grateful for the people, the projects and the belief that together we could create worlds that inspire millions.

38:36Tim Gettys:Yeah. This is worrying news specifically with what's going on with Vantage studios, which is a word we have learned. We have, we have corroborated with the sources of the chat and the 10 cent situation. Right. In my mind, I was like, not hopeful, but I was like, Oh, there's a chance that this is just, we're going to put it underneath the 10 cent backing so we can get more money, but everything's going to stay about the same. But if we're moving leadership, if we're changing around things so dramatically after shadows, which did very well, which was a huge success for the assassin screen and got it back on the map in a lot of ways.

39:09Tim Gettys:Of course, the game had a little bit of trouble when it came to development and, you know, delays and all that jazz, but still the game, the product was out there and the game did well. So moving around leadership and putting it underneath this now 10 cent backed venture. It to me, this does not spell a good, exciting future. and also with the cancellation of their post-Civil War Assassin's Creed game, which I will continue to be sad about, right? Like that's such a cool idea for where the franchise could go. And it seems like we're rounding edges. We're trying to change things. We're trying to make this more palatable to a larger audience, which is crazy because Assassin's Creed is such a fucking big franchise.

39:43Tim Gettys:Yeah, this is worrying for sure. Yeah, absolutely. Couldn't say it better myself. Eve's son, let's give him more power. That sounds like the right move here. That's what we need. We need more power. I just get so sad thinking about Ubisoft sometimes They were the shit man They had the moment Mid 2010s like we were fucking killing it bro We were killing it And then it's just like slowly but surely Death by a million cuts bro Story number 5 Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 Review roundup Has a 64 on Metacritic And a 64 on OpenCritic Lena Haffer at IGN gives it a 7 Saying Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 who takes another flawed but unique and remarkable bite at the jugular with plenty to love and loathe alike but i certainly enjoyed my time as an elder vampire at the very least robert purchase at euro gamer give it a two out of five well the chinese room has managed to make something from a box of inherited parts but this action rpg feels hollow and functional and is only redeemed by some stellar performances from the characters and cast i didn't know they're making this game uh jessica cogswell at GameSpot, the homie, gave it a 7 out of 10, saying, although Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 isn't particularly ambitious or polished, it makes up for its faults with enthralling gameplay, gorgeous environments, a good story, and even better characters.

41:02And then some fuck named Greg Miller says, I'm early, it feels like a PS3 era game, but I want to keep playing it. I can give it a review in the coming weeks when there's nothing going on.

41:11Tim Gettys:Wow. I didn't know this game was coming out. Like, period, end of story. Like, didn't realize it was coming out this year. didn't really i thought this was just kind of vaporware or something like that and then just oh turn around greg miller's playing it oh shit what the fuck what that's crazy you have any interest in uh honestly i like vampires they're hot it's cool it's a fun idea i i i like the idea of mid-ass games like that's like kind of where my bread and butter is like i like seeing kind of a 64s i had an amazing time this year and again it's a six out of ten video game but mafia the old country i fucking had a blast playing that game just like comfort food of a video game it is so old and dated and it does not feel modern in most senses the idea of playing like kind of like a ps3-esque vampire rpg kind of sounds a little sick to me i mean like i i'm not gonna lie i'm not gonna lie i don't think every game that i play needs to be an 8 out of 10 but you know i'm open i'm open to the idea of playing vampire uh masquerade the bloodlines too i do love that i I appreciate the thought of like, Hey, you sometimes you can like games that aren't the best or whatever.

42:18Roger takes it a step further where it's like, here's a 64 medical. Oh,

42:22Tim Gettys:that's got it. Now I'm interested. Now we're, now we're, now we're playing with fire a little bit. Okay. Now it also is like, you know what you're going to get into, right? You totally know this is going to be like an old school. Like it's, it's not, it's not polished. It's rough around the edges, but there's something there. There's a little bit of something there, but just a little, but also, you know, there's too many fucking games. I'm not going to actually play it, but I like talking about it. Yeah. You talk big. Often. So big. So big. But if I want to know about really, really, really, really, really small things, Roger, where would I look?

42:51Tim Gettys:You go to our last story, the We News Channel. We'll recover all the small news items you need to know about. True. Here we are. It's We News, everyone. From Eurogamer, EA employees and the communications workers of America Union have issued a statement against the proposed private acquisition of the company, claiming they were not represented in the negotiations and any jobs lost as a result would be a choice, not a necessity made to pad investors pockets hell yeah stand up what a fucking disaster world we live in fuck yeah atari announced the intellivision sprint console what the intellivision sprint retains the authentic look and feel of the original modernized with hdmi and wireless controllers and it includes 45 built-in games first of all it's crazy that intellivision is owned by Atari now.

43:36Tim Gettys:That's kind of crazy. That blows a lot of boomers' minds right now. I'm sure when Nick hears about this, he's freaking out right now. That's nuts. I didn't realize Intellivision Sprint. Oh, no. I guess just Intellivision. That's what they're calling it. It's not like a remake of the Intellivision Sprint. They're just making a remake of the original Intellivision. Yes. Okay, gotcha. That's a weird name. That's my understanding of it, at least. I guess there's a lot of people buying these things. No. A lot of people? I mean, enough people for this to be a profitable I don't know about that Really?

44:07Tim Gettys:Because they've done a bunch of these things Drug front Somebody asked It's like mattress firm Yes When you walk in there It's like no one's here Something's going on Something's going on here There has to be a bunch of boomers That are buying these things Maybe they're Christmas gifts An Intellivision Sprint Yeah like you know Everyone has like that old Like uncle in their family That's like Oh I love Intellivision That was my favorite thing in the world Maybe this is my family Yeah Oh I loved Atari That was the last video game I played And it's like okay Here you go dad I don't really know you anymore, but here you go.

46:09Tim Gettys:Charlie in the chat says, regarding F, seems to be some kind of license they couldn't get. A track is apparently similar to something existing or something. Okay. Wow. That reminds me, like, one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever seen in my life is the clip of Hideo Kojima being confronted with the track that the composer of the Metal Gear Solid theme stole from. And him having to realize in real time, like, uh-oh, we can't use the Metal Gear Solid theme anymore. Wait, where was it? Which is why the Metal Gear Solid theme changed in between two and three. We have a lot of time left in the show.

47:46Whoa.

48:02He also has the UMD.

48:23There's no getting out of that. It's a classic, Russian composer, Sviridov.

48:34It's like a soundtrack to the lyrics of Puskin.

48:44Tim Gettys:Oh my God. It just keeps going. And he's trying to, like, he's desperately trying to see, like, is there any connection? Whoa. Oh, he's freaking.

We're each gone, Robin. Dang. You can stop. You can stop. That's awesome. Cold Sound says, is there anything more diabolical than being confronted with a UMD? knowing your main theme is now cooked i got it on the psp is crazy yeah like fucking crazy but doesn't that suck that does it sucks so bad so what happened there was that he truly just stole it i mean you heard that and then they just changed it afterwards there's like there's no getting around the fact like in the beginning you're like okay it kind of sounds like it and then it's like oh the chord progression the switch up the horns coming in you're just like oh my god that's the same song yeah that's why that theme's not in metal gear anymore damn i didn't think about that i know that it's and that's why metal gear solid 3 has a very similar theme but it's like completely same instruments and shit but it's like a different ass melody so when was this this was before after three and everything or before this is before three oh wow this must have been in between two and three the psb existed before three yeah i mean same year right same time holy shit it's crazy how time works it is i love the psb it is do you still have a PSP?

50:16Oh, yeah. I have a PSP framed in my theater. Does it have a battery in it? Does it about explode? That one, no. That one's all, you know, broken up. Oh, yes. It's one of those pretty things.

50:31Tim Gettys:with a battery in it. It's totally fine. Yeah. My battery puffed up, like, within a few years. That's crazy. Yeah. Maybe it's just the climate of San Francisco. Maybe. Cooler and chiller. Even cool. Yeah. New York gets hotter. God, I love the PSP. I love the PSP, man. What an amazing device. R.I.P. Kevin used his PSP Yeah But he used his PSP for everything Tell him the story about the TVs Kevin, you there? Yeah What do you have to say about your PSP? I think I used my PSP to make the world a little bit better I would go Tim and I would go to a restaurant And the TV settings were not accurate I had a program because it had an AR blaster on the top, right?

51:15So I had a program that would emulate a universal remote. I would figure out what brand the TV was. I would test the universal remotes that I had, find the correct one, go into the settings, change the TV scaling so it wasn't clipping everything out. I would turn – I think this was before the fast – what is it called? When people – motion.

51:39Tim Gettys:Motion smooth. Yeah, this was before that. Yeah, so I'd go in there and change aspect ratios, make it the way God intended. That's awesome. Because that's a lot. I know that the restaurant owners don't have the time and attention to go and change that, but I wanted to make the world a little bit better. Did you ever get caught and no one ever checked your ass? No, no one was watching the TVs. Yeah. It was set completely wrong. This is a real story. Oh, yeah. This is a true story of what happened. Multiple times. Multiple times. That's so sick. With a PSP. That's actually so sick. I loved it. I actually, right now when you guys mentioned the PSP, I was like, should I get mine and get it to do that again?

52:17Because that was such a magical thing.

52:20Tim Gettys:Which is more psychopathic, doing that with the PSP or walking around with a universal remote? Just in your pocket, ready to go. Because I was like, that's cool. That is kind of cool that you could just do that. And if anyone had a universal remote, they could just do that. Kevin, would that be your move? Just walking around with a universal remote at all times? No, that's fucking insane. What a PSP. What a PSP. The BSP had a lot of functionality, right? That's true. That's true. At this point. You were mostly using it for that though, but yeah. No, I had every movie I wanted on there. I had many, many video games.

52:50Seasons of Family Guy.

52:51Tim Gettys:Oh, I was thinking about getting that tattooed on my body. I had the UMD for the first volume of Family Guy, and someone does like these awesome like tattoos that are full on like UMDs and fucking DS cards. And I was like, what if I just get that tattooed on my body? Please, Roger. That is awesome. I love it so much. Devon Colbert Super Chats in Saying birthday tax Thank you for everything you do Happy birthday Devon Andrew Brown says Horizons the Avatar Blue people of video games I'm not gonna comment You mean it's sick? Yeah It's fucking sick Avatar is sick And Way of Fire and Water Whatever it was called It's coming out soon The Way of Fire and Water The Way of Fire and Water God Are tickets out right now?

53:31Tim Gettys:They've been out? Can I buy tickets? No you can't yet What? For the movie coming out A year from now? It's not coming out This December? What about this December? It's this December because we watched the trailer. Fuck, you're right, dude. You're so right. I don't think the tickets are out. We're still two months away, right? No, baby, you could buy tickets for, like, fucking movies, like, four months. Focus for Nolan, like that. Oh, yeah, but I, really? You can't just buy tickets? Fuck yeah, dude. I don't know how I'd like that. I literally just watched Way of Water, like, three weeks ago. And I saw, there was a ten-minute clip of Fire and Ash that I saw.

54:00Was it sick? Fucking sick. Yeah? So fucking sick. Fire and Ash. Yeah, you're right. It's December 17th, I'm pretty sure.

54:06Tim Gettys:because I'm trying to buy tickets ahead of time. I'm going to be in New York and I'm like, hey, I feel like that's an easy way. Get the family together. Jordan White says rushing home to play Ark Raiders all weekend. But man, all I can think about is ball pit. Made the mistake of downloading it late last night through Game Pass, resulting in me only getting three hours of sleep. What a great game. Larry says birthday tax. Larry. Pick off the weekend with KF. Happy birthday, Larry. Or Saturday and Sunday, as we call it. Saturday and Sunday, as God intended. Ignacio Rojas says finally catching live Hell yeah hello Ignacio Tim give Digimon Time Stranger a chance even Mike's enjoying It have him sell you on the game it's so good Ignacio I want to let you know That a couple nights ago I thought About you and I pulled up A trailer of Digimon Time Stranger And I watched a little bit of it and then I just Went to Hulu and I loaded up Digimon Adventure The episode where they make a Digiball for the first time and I felt a lot and I was like you know what the game's not going to beat this feeling and then I didn't play the game when it comes to Switch 2 I'll play it I'll play it I don't know anything about Digimon but I saw the trailer and I was like wow this is crazy looks like a real game people are loving it and I'm happy for them I don't think it's for me though what come on open your mind while Grossi says I predict the Horizon movie will come out a week before Zelda movie just to be overshadowed again Prairie says, hey guys, I just started to play games on my laptop.

55:35Steam's incredible, but it got me wondering, why doesn't PlayStation have a launcher on PC?

55:39Tim Gettys:Well, that's good that it doesn't have a launcher on PC. We don't need more launchers. I know you're just getting into PC gaming. It's a big deal. When these companies have third-party launchers, we don't like it. We don't like it. Ubisoft Play Plus, it's still out there somewhere. We don't like that. Xanamu writes back in saying it's going to be the first Death Stranding. Can't wait. Hell, yeah. That's very exciting. Congratulations. I saw a person on the plane just watching a full playthrough of Death Stranding. And I almost had the moment where I was like, should I walk up to him and start talking to him?

56:06Tim Gettys:And I was like, what am I going to say? Hey, I played this game on stream. I love that, though. Should I just start trying to connect with this person? I don't know what I'm doing here. I mean, I told the story. I don't know if you heard it a couple weeks ago. But me and Curran went to lunch. And the dudes next to us overheard us talking about Expedition 33. And then it turned into, like, all of us talking. Him and his wife talking about Expedition 33. And then Hades 2. That's awesome. it so it was just like whoa gamers are real yeah we're not just here it's not just this thing that we come to the studio and hang out with our stupid friends it's all about stupid video games it's like they're out there in the wild that's beautiful uh alex frazier says donating to the mike's ball sack recovery fund barrett did you see this this clip oh it's upsetting poorland kevin uh also says donating to the mike's nuts foundation two dollars for two nuts uh sky says no certain plans for saturday or sunday but haunted house and hayride tonight hey thanks guy oh yeah spook it up uh joey radstone says baby shower weekend for my first due in december congratulations that's awesome come on very very cool um william gordon says tim have you ever done the 242 star challenge in mario galaxy 2 i just beat the perfect run in the Grandmaster Galaxy.

57:24I did, much to the chagrin of Alfredo Diaz. There was one summer that I just dedicated my entire life to getting all of the damn green stars. Not the best collectible Mario games had. They've learned a lot since Mario Galaxy 2, but it was all worth it for the perfect run. The first of the, like, endgame final challenge Mario things that we got that are now tradition, but that one will always hold a very special place in my heart. But the biggest problem with it, Roger. is after you get the 120 stars, there's essentially double the stars, but in each level, they just put three green stars hidden throughout the level with no real rhyme or reason.

58:03It's not like they're hidden in crafty places. It's just kind of annoying to find them. There's no way to track it, whatever. But the biggest problem, you get one of these stars, it boots you out of the level. And then you have to go back in. And we're talking about a Wii game, the loading. Yeah. It's like, I was watching a YouTube video fairly recently about this, and it was like, the getting a star getting it back to level going back in it's like a 73 seconds like load and like all processed it's like ah yeah never again although it's way faster on switch now but i don't think i'm gonna go all the way ty wilkins video says wasn't it proven later he didn't copy the theme but they didn't want to risk it or am i misremembering i don't know but i mean like you heard that shit you saw kojima freaking out yeah gondor's condor says this track this tracks for a blue prince lover slash Kevin.

58:52Yep. Kevin is a crafty one. Alan Martinez says, going to SmackDown at SopCenter. Boo this AI storyline. Have you seen this? I have. There's so much misinformation out there right now that I'm like, I'm not going to let this one bother me. Sure, sure. Until we see it, we're like, this is it.

59:08Tim Gettys:This Bobby Lashley thing. You see that? Oh, that was so funny. That Bobby Lashley would come back and be obsessed with Japan, right? It was a little idea. So stupid. So bad. Fucking TKO. Have fun at SmackDown, though. Fuck TKO. there's so many people on our fuck list it's so bad dude it's just like all I want to do is love you just let me love you you don't love me you guys love me right please I don't know why I was acting like I was going to end the show we have to do you wrong it's a thing we have to do on the show we never get anything wrong though hmm

59:51kebab says uh letting roger and mike know that slight spoiler alert for silent hill life i didn't read this but yeah i don't like i'm whatever it's your stream's gonna be fun okay um ignost your world house writes in says tim said digimon time stranger is not for him the game is indeed for him i don't think you know me man if you can say if you say that with a straight face, I don't think you know me. I liked Cyber Sleuth a lot. Liked it. But I had a lot of problems with it. I'm so happy that Digimon can be many different things to many different people. But Agumon's Agumon. And if Agumon's not Agumon, he's not Agumon.

1:00:33And you'll understand that if you know what I'm talking about. Am I right there? Am I right there?

1:00:41Tim Gettys:Send this clip to a pilgrim child. If Agumon's not Agumon. Find your local pilgrim child. the fuck is he saying oh man i think we've done our job yeah we killed it you know what i mean i think we did everything yeah we can everything that we need to i love that i love you just smashing that delete button yeah like that we're not wrong we're never wrong never wrong we're perfect perfect people heard skateboards super chats in saying hey tim starting pokemon for the first time since my childhood which starter should i choose for za love you guys have a great question for me too because i might i might boot up some za there's an unfortunate thing about pokemon legend za in which total dial one of the greatest of all times is one of the starter so it just makes it impossible to there's not even a choice most pokemon games there's a choice of like oh here's three starters oh there isn't no you're just it's total dial what there's two other ones but yeah they don't really they don't really matter because there's total dial chikorita and then not syndiquil tepig tepig who was one of the gen 5 starters uh and that's because chikorita was a Cyndaquil was a starter for Legends Arceus, right?

1:01:46So the only answer, the only true answer and look at that fucking little weirdo. I love him, but he's weird.

1:01:52Tim Gettys:And what's the other one? Chikorita and then Totodile. Look at my boy Totodile. I like that one. Yeah, Totodile. That's the one? He's got the vibe. He's got the energy. I tried to name Totodile Lulu in Pokemon ZA. Game told me. curse word you're not allowed to use that name yeah interesting yeah so i named him lou because he was a boy he was a boy anyway so i was like all right fine i lose kind of cool yeah loose that's pretty sick i didn't know i really wanted to name him lulu and it made me sad i didn't know you could nickname your pokemon this one for some reason like that it's very like it's in the kernels so like when you go over into the menu and you're uh going into the details if you hit like the minus button it'll you can nickname oh yeah you know a pro tip that i've heard tell me the um not rival character but the rival position in this game like the the character that is like with you throughout the entire game is gender swapped so if like if you choose like a male like body type then yeah there's urbane and town townie or something like that is the names um and the woman looks a lot cooler, I think.

1:03:02But pro tip, your character model, the sex of your character doesn't actually matter because it's like you can change everything. Any clothes and any hairstyle and anything you can put on. So the pro tip would be even if you want, you get what I'm saying. You can choose male but be female presenting and have a cool female buddy. Yeah, that's cool. I love it. I always play as Alyssa in Pokemon games, and I will shout out, like this game I'm feeling all mixed feelings on but like this is the most I've been able to make my character actually like Alyssa. Oh that's awesome.

1:03:36Tim Gettys:So the hair down and everything. Yeah. I've been waiting because I don't want to put out because I also do Gia but I don't want to put it out until you get like a good play a little bit. Well no I got some outfits. I got her. Damn. Yeah. Pretty fucking sweet. Yeah. Love it. That's good. Hope you guys are enjoying Pokemon Legends. Show everyone. This is private. Yeah. This spoiler stuff but Krabby Patty Super Chat's say an anniversary tax, seven years married, 11 years together, two amazing kids. Shout out to my best friend with the fat culo. Shout out to fat culos, everybody. Happy anniversary.

1:04:12And then the final super chat of the day from Jose Cortez saying on that OT grind out here, picked up a ROG Xbox ally, pulled a 12-hour shift yesterday, only got to update the Xbox. I don't know what you're trying to say there, but I appreciate it. Can't wait for Sunday all day football and getting lost in my first PC handheld experience. And Splinter Cell Death Watch. You're about to dive. You're about to learn so many things. You're going to get so frustrated and then something's going to work and you'll be like, yeah, this is so cool. You're going to play so few video games.

1:04:43Tim Gettys:That's my dream. Mike's getting it. I want that. Just give it to me. I love that. Oh, I forgot to bring it. I reset it, but I forgot to bring it for Mike. Anyways, this has been Games Daily. Thank you for hanging out with us. Enjoy Saturday, Sunday. Okay? Bye.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for$15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made$15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal.

1:06:47So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upbound payment of$45 for three months,$90 for six months, or$180 for 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms.
