9:57Yesterday's stream to me is like an all-timer stream. I had so much fun playing a game called RV there yet, which is a game that I would recommend to any group of friends. It is a very, very cool game where you are all just trying to take your RV to a park and you're driving around these little trails. But the trails are sometimes really treacherous. And you might hop into a section that just there's a crazy ravine and there's no way you can get the car through there. But there's a lot of planks of wood. So you and your homies have to like using physics based stuff, just like drop the plank. And all right.

10:31Is that enough for the car to kind of like drive over these planks over this? There. My goodness. It is a freaking blast. A lot, a lot of fun. So check that out on the YouTube channel right now.

10:41Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I need maybe I'll suggest maybe I'll put this in our feedback form for the next meeting. We got to play Lego party again. Oh, my gosh. I agree. It's already been too long since we played Lego party. I told you I need it. I need my get back. We need to run that shit back because that was not OK. What happened last time? North Wolf Pack. Subscribe with Prime. A first time subscriber. Look at that. Wow. Thank you to our Patreon producers. Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney the Psalm Twining. You are the best of us. Thank you so much, gamers. For now, let's begin with what is and forever will be the Roper Report.

11:14It's time for some news. We have six stories today.

11:19Blessing Adeoye Jr.:A baker's dozen? Six stories, mind you, that are actually really, like, eight stories, nine stories. I took three stories and put them in one. Okay. Because they all had to do with Ubisoft. And I didn't want to turn that into three different stories, but there are three different stories. I love that. Corey Cutney, I did know that if you have Amazon Prime, you have Twitch Prime. Story number one, the next Xbox console is a premium system. And that's in quotes for the audio listeners. Premium system, which shares some of, quotes, the thinking and quotes behind the rog xbox ally sarah bond says this comes via chris scoling at vgc xbox president sarah bond has suggested the next xbox console will share some of the quote thinking behind the recently released asus rog xbox ally and ally x handhelds in an interview with mashable it was put to bond that the next xbox console is rumored to be a hybrid system capable of playing both Xbox console games and PC games.

12:22While Bond wouldn't be drawn into confirming or denying this, her reply did suggest that the next Xbox system will have a high price point and will share at least some things in common with the ROG Xbox Ally devices. Which, by the way, this is an aside. This is no longer Chris Scullion talking from the article. This is me talking. I would have given 0.5 extra of a score to Ninja Gaiden 4 if I didn't have to play it on the ROG LIX. Wow. Just fucking sucked. Yeah. It feels like a back paddle. Ugh, mess. Let's continue the story right here.

12:58Blessing Adeoye Jr.:We really like that review, by the way. Oh, really? Yeah. That was a fun one. Sorry, I read the comments. Everybody unanimously loves that review. Oh, nice. Oh, good. Very nice in there. Sweet. That's good to know. That is great to know. Quote, Well, I can tell you're right that the next-gen console is going to be a very... I can tell you right now, and I'm not sure exactly how this quote is supposed to be said, but I can tell you you're right that the next-gen console is going to be a very premium, very high-end curated experience, Bond replied. You're starting to see some of the thinking that we have in this handheld, but I don't want to give it all away, she said.

13:34Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer discussed something similar in an interview last year before it was publicly known that the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds were in the works. In an interview with Polygon, Spencer said that he would like to see other digital storefronts appearing on Xbox consoles in the future, and that he'd like to break down some of the walled gardens that limit players to only buying console games through that console's official digital store. So, obviously a big win for Xbox. This next thing is going to be even more expensive.

14:03Blessing Adeoye Jr.:i so as you're reading that i opened up a previous kfc episode because there's been a trend this week with kfc let's hear it bus this is our third xbox headline in a row go on and these headlines keep coming from sarah bond quotes to which as we started started doing this just now i was like i wonder are these from the same interview or is it that they're slowly releasing the information and no this is from Mashable the other quote that I saw was from Variety so this is Sarah Bond continually like I'm sure they're on some kind of like you know I was gonna say tour but they're doing the rounds and Sarah Bond just keeps talking keeps giving us nuggets of things as far as what's going on with Xbox but I it's funny sitting here with you because last time we sat down it was Sarah Bond talking about how the Asus ROG Ally price hey that's on them that's on Asus and now we're at a place where two days later serban's like you know when thinking about the next xbox we're we're sharing some of the same thinking as far as like what we've done with asus rog ally and i'm like wait so is it that like that's asus as far as what's going on over there or is there some shared i i feel like they're conflating the message here a little bit i don't know i think it's kind of weird but all that said yeah this shit's gonna be expensive yeah um like the main thing to take away from this story and the pc stuff as well which is interesting we've been talking about that for a while i know that when we're in the lead up to new consoles and new announcements and the future of what these companies see as what their future can be there's always a lot of speculation there's always a lot of like whoa we've never kind of been in this spot where you know i think back back in the day when 10 years ago it feels like probably now where consoles are dead nobody's getting you know you're gonna see this is the last console generation right and obviously that will that kind of ceases to be true more and more although with the recent rise of pc gaming you know maybe the console market is going to try to win back some of of those gamers but i think now more than ever i've never felt more confusion and excitement and fear yeah for what the future of a company like xbox is going to try to do for the next console when they tell you this is going to be a premium high price thing which is completely you know not to say that this is only going to be the future of xbox right now not to say that like in three years whenever the next xbox comes out or whatever four years that everything from this quote is going to be 100 true and that's it because it's very antithetical to what's we've seen a lot of success with the series s which is oh sure much more approachable console which is something that a lot of people bought and you know was much to the dismay until you know some developers have to deal with sort of scaling their their console or their their software down but if that's going to be the only thing that they're going for do you think that's a smart call for xbox no oh absolutely not i think i well i guess it depends on what partnership looks like for xbox if you're if you have pc hardware manufacturers also making xboxes that aren't just handhelds but that are boxes and so you can have i'll just use asus as an example right you have the asus rog ally but if asus can also make a box that comes in at a way cheaper price right maybe that's how you get around having these different skews of xboxes but then I think as Xbox the company you then have to make sure that people are making games for that which is where we get into this weird place of what PCs are inherently and like I guess the challenges of making the transition because I think you hit the nail on the head as far as the fear of it but then also the excitement of it because it all comes to pros and cons.

18:04Blessing Adeoye Jr.:When we're talking about the pros, I think you're talking about being able to jump between cloud and playing on your computer and playing on your Xbox console and having all those things communicate with each other. Also, the choice of the kind of hardware you want to play on. Great. My Xbox is going to be the handle. That's how I'm going to play Xbox. Oh, no. My Xbox is going to be the Microsoft-made home, quote-unquote, console that they made. Cool. That's going to be my experience. Oh, I can also play on my phone. i think all of those are pro consumer and also like i think those are uh check marks in the pro pro category but then you get into the con of how weird and difficult is this going to be for people to to understand what is it what is this going to look like as far as software working on all these different skews what is this going to look like as far as pricing you know like i think these are all things that you're gonna have to to reckon with and figure out and i don't i don't know if they have like a confident answer for that other than we're just gonna go through it and do it like we're going this is we've made the commitment this is the only path forward right it was either this or continually being in third place in the console race right and so i don't really know what that looks like what that looks like i'm with you that i'm excited but also i think there's a high chance that this ends up being just so messy for everybody involved i'm excited in kind of a nervous way yeah because i i want the future of xbox to be bright i want this company to to be healthy and to put out products that really kind of satiate the thirst of like the hardcore fans right and i part of me sort of feels like if you you know if you talk about your product being the most premium thing ever that some that could win a lot of people over that could like that tells the normies out there who don't listen to shows like this and don't listen to podcasts that could tell them hey you are getting the best of the best with xbox i know they always say that but like if you're going to market this as the most premium thing ever there's some people that are willing to pay for the most premium thing ever are you then kind of going for the masses after that are you gonna have a smaller skew that's kind of where it's i guess my beef is what iffy what does being the most premium thing ever look like for xbox like when we say that are we talking about oh they're gonna put out a box that has the highest specs ray tracing all this stuff and let's say they do that does that stuff get the support like it does that stuff from the developers right when we're talking about um i guess right now we're at in the ecosystem where playstation and nintendo are dominating in the console space right and then you have pcs that are doing their thing are our developers going to look at a 1000 xbox and go oh yeah we got to make sure that this runs the best on this or are they continue going to continue to look at playstation and be like oh no we're going to prioritize this because the install base is bigger or we're going to prioritize switch because the install like i i think you can say that you're going to put out the most premium thing as a box thing but i feel like that then lends more toward the pc crowd which is i think a great crowd right but are you giving up i guess the the masses of people that are coming in because they just want a console that works and does like it works and does everything that they want it to do are you giving that up because hey we're gonna do something premium here it's something that's gonna be this beefy thing and it just ends up being okay cool it's just like when i buy the latest and latest RTX graphics card right I it's kind of an iffy spot because this is this is Microsoft who owns Xbox but I would love for them to I would love for the next marketing thing for Xbox and their next console whether it's going to be a home setup box that can compete with some higher end rigs but at a smaller cost because of whatever it is that they're going to be cutting corners on that a full pc doesn't always need to have i would love to see them go when i when i think of like effective marketing i think of 15 years ago apple in the justin long commercials like let me let me flip that yeah justin long in the apple commercial advertising justin long as a but but i think of the the ease hey you know aren't PCs really confusing sometimes?

22:37What if they were just, which is shit talking Microsoft, I know. For sure. But like, you know, wouldn't you love the ease of use of, you know, you see the old guy at home, like whoever they're going to get as the old guy opposite Justin Long. Yeah. And he's going to be like, I'd get a PC, but it's just so confusing. Man, it's like, oh, we'll just get the Xbox. It plays your Windows games. It plays your Xbox games with none of the hassle. Like if they were able to go for that, whether that's accurate or not,

23:03Blessing Adeoye Jr.:i think that could be like a really good niche to be in see that's the thing i worry about is that i think pcs are so not confusing anymore and not that they're as easy as turning on a playstation or xbox or a switch but i think steam has made it so ubiquitous and like where pcs have i guess come in the last 10 to 15 years have gotten so easy to understand and like pick up and play kind of thing where i almost think that marketing point would go backwards where like if i imagine watching that commercial and it being xbox being like yo like you see you know how pcs are so tough to use or whatever or like confusing what if they were also confusing because like i look at steam and i look at xbox and i am way more understanding of how steam is working as opposed to what xbox is veering into as far as what the next generation looks like for me that's the confusing thing i could totally see xbox trying to make their experience the xbox you know gaming experience or whatever it i could see them trying to rip off what steam does with the it's not necessarily even an ease of using it's just a familiarity thing at this point we know what steam looks like we know how to get to the things or whatever and yeah and i'm you know i could sometimes be confused by steam every now and then trying to find trying to find the the not safe for work filter because i want to show my store on stream i'm like where do i find this thing because i don't want to be showing you know the fucking uh you know backdoor neighbor you know seven or whatever are you scrolling on the new games list like where it's hilarious like how do you end up just how does that just end up on your page it's real well i mean like if you have the filter off and you go because i'm always going to around next fest even before next fest hits i'm always looking at demos and the new and trending oh okay okay and because a lot of developers will release their cool games demos before next fest hits like when you know your the big movie premieres on friday but then eventually it's like thursday night and then it's like wednesday at midnight or whatever you know yeah so like i like looking at that and then you know a lot of the games are very funny uh and but i want to sometimes show that on stream and it's just it's a it's a minefield out there You know, it's just very, very dangerous.

25:16But to get back to the point, I could see Microsoft doing with that similar to what YouTube TV did and what a lot of users are used to with DirecTV and Time Warner. And this is kind of a very, very weird anecdote and a weird comparison. But when I was first trying to sell my parents on YouTube TV, they could not get over the fact that the guide was like full screen and that it didn't look like what they were used to. And I was like, OK, dad, but like you're paying two hundred and sixty dollars right now. You could be paying 90 or 100 or whatever. And he's like, yeah, but like, I just can't. I can't really come to grips with how different it looks.

26:03And then YouTube TV emulated what the other things do, where it's like there's the big preview screen of the actual thing you're looking at, and the guide letters are smaller, and the little bubbles of the shows are now kind of similarly, they're visually similar, right? And I feel like if Xbox could try to emulate what the others are doing, what people are used to doing, because I wasn't the biggest fan of this Xbox kind of 1.0 gaming experience. I thought it was kind of a mess and I didn't love it. But you keep iterating on that software. You keep showing people, yes, we could have all your games and all your library in this one spot.

26:42And it looks familiar. It's friendly. You see it and you know what you're looking at as opposed to, I have to uncheck Steam games or do I have to, well, how do I see exactly what I'm looking for right now? I feel like they could kind of meet in the middle somewhere there, but it's going to be quite the uphill battle.

27:01Blessing Adeoye Jr.:You just reminded me of when we would have to go to Channel 19 to see what the guide is. You know what I mean? Or it's just constantly scrolling. And that's how you would tell what shows were coming up before we had DirecTV or whatever. Getting DirecTV felt like stepping into the future. It really did. That felt like, and I know it wasn't, I know we didn't literally have a thousand channels, but it felt like you went from 60 channels to having a thousand. in my household like that shit was fucking awesome i'll never forget visiting family in austin texas you would drive up from the real grand valley to austin texas and it's like whoa they have time warner cable and it's like there's this guide and searching and yeah whoa this is really really not like this is the future yeah coming from waiting for the tv guide every sunday morning newspaper opening up the little tv guide yeah scrolling through it being like what movie year they showing on saturday on hbo and it's always like oh shit they're debuting whatever big movie it's always a big deal man home box office bless dude that's crazy take us back 55 for cartoon network channel 56 for nickelodeon oh really i think i was like 27 was disney channel 26 was disney channel no 25 was disney channel 26 was cartoon network and 27 was nickelodeon i believe can i tell you how much of like how much that probably changed my i guess like my taste as a kid is like the positioning of those channels because then you had um i think abc family was channel 32 and then wb was channel 12 and because of that like i was so as a kid for the longest time i was so locked in on channels 55 through 57 and then it wasn't until i was a bit older where i realized that saturday morning cartoons like the best ones were on kids wb on channel 12 and i was like why is this all the way over here oh i see and so like i'm i was missing out on like a lot of good shit because i was locked in and then i started learning about abc family and how they had like fucking um bayblade on there and shit digimon i was like wait this is a whole new universe why is bet number channel 54 we gotta put bet at like the 30s and bring abc family up because what are we doing exactly 24 was actually cartoon network let us know in the comments down below what your cartoon network disney channel and uh nickelodeon were and get in your super chats about xbox i have a super chat here from foxy steve thank you for your five dollar super chat says i think xbox is getting out of the dedicated console space altogether make the system a pc with a hard with a hardware partner and go third party software wise oh chat this is not bett slander i fuck with bett i'm just saying why was it so far why is it right next to cartoon network yeah like there are other things as a kid you can put right next to cartoon network right as i'm scrolling but then direct why are you why are you gentrifying my guide don't put it way the hell over there yeah you what i mean i'm just saying it's like we make it hard to access like why did it take me so long to figure out kids wb exactly fox kid they didn't do they did they did it right with fox kids was right next to kids wb it was 11 and 12 so saturday morning i mean it was which one well i didn't have a fox kids channel i just had fox kids was just in the morning fox you're right fox kids was like a segment six for me because it was like abc fox nbc cbs yeah all those channels were like four five six seven uh super chat here from trevor with a ten dollar super chat says for me the selling point is if i can access xbox games steam games etc on a home console without the hassle of messing with the pc if something goes wrong yeah i mean that is the dream and a lot of it is you hope that you log in one day and your game boots up because if it doesn't you're like oh shit yeah this is one of them pc problems yeah installing shaders yes scared absolutely uh five dollars super chat from danny tortelli says donctober tax happy spooky season y 'all this will never happen but how cool would it be if xbox made a modular upgradable next-gen console i love modular stuff but that would never happen that would require so much customization that would require see so much manufacturing and like all this like where i'm at is like i don't think microsoft will make it but i could see a third party manufacturer partnering with xbox to be like hey this this is your modular xbox console made by whatever the fuck i forget the companies that you and roger go to make your laptops your framework framework is your framework xbox yeah uh a massive 50 super chat from jp says we love kevin wow hell yeah uh we'll get to more of y 'all's thoughts on Xbox and more super chats after a word from our sponsors.

A$5 super chat from a true gamer, game honestist, Janet Garcia. She says, Andy makes some good points, but do you think Xbox will die or pivot again before they finish that iteration process? I'm assuming she's talking about the iteration process of, all right, let's move to this whole new zone that we've been slowly moving towards of the ease of use PC that has the friendliness of console gaming. I personally don't think that Xbox will ever go away because I still think they are heavily invested in studios that make games that make a lot of money.

35:50but and i think the xbox name will live through attaching their names to like xbox game studios publish stuff and blah blah blah but i could see a future you know where you're not getting the xbox you're getting any that you're used to getting like i also think that's completely

36:10Blessing Adeoye Jr.:impossible and i don't think we're that far away from them getting to this iteration process i think they're i think this is the next generation of xbox and i think the next generation of xbox is maybe like two years away and so i don't think sbox is going to die in the next two years i was going to ask the question i didn't want to extend this conversation too much because we have so much that's fine yeah we can do quick but i guess my my final question on this topic is when we hit that when we hit next generation of xbox and they're doing the pc thing right what is it that is going to put xbox on the map for you as far as oh i need to buy this over anything else like i need to buy into this ecosystem more so than other ecosystems it would have to when digital foundry does their tech breakdown i would have to see whoa it's compatible to something of this nature on the pc side at this cost i don't know how they're cutting them costs and i'm sure it won't lead to future layouts i don't know how this thing is so cheap so much more cheap compared to a 28 2800 pc or $2 ,200 PC and it's selling for 800 bucks.

37:20Holy shit. That, that could be really, really cool. A neat device to have, like they were mentioning earlier in the living room for somebody who, for the adults now that may have the disposable income that go, yeah, I grew up gaming and now it is my main hobby. And now I have a nine to five. I could pay for that premium Xbox without having to deal with the you know you know keyboard mouse on this device and logging into windows and typing in a pin or whatever it's just my xbox at this point put that in the living room you would have to show me awesome power at a very good comparable price yeah i i hope they're able to

37:57Blessing Adeoye Jr.:do that i think my worry this goes back to the original points we were making is that it's in this weird space of you know xbox historically has been this console thing that's into like that wider uh group of players right and you're going to make your next box a$1 ,000 thing a thousand dollar pc essentially when i look at that i feel like when i'm faced with the choice of where to go it's like okay well if i want the console experience i maybe i can get the playstation 6 at$800 or whatever oh maybe if i if i'm gonna spend a thousand dollars for p for a pc is it gonna be the xbox pc or is it gonna be a more like if i am i just gonna make the jump into just getting a fucking beefy powerful ass pc i think the thing that really needs to sell xbox is the ecosystem and for me that has been xbox game pass but with the price uh hikes for xbox game pass i worry that that ecosystem is now becoming less and less desirable and tangible for people to get into all great points yeah and so let us know what you all think in the comments below and super jazz but also make sure you click the like button it's free it doesn't cost anything there's also this new thing youtube's doing called like hype points hype points where you gather hype points by watching stuff and then you could hype up videos from like smaller creators that you want more eyes on where it's like i don't know if the hype points go directly towards like boosting this video into certain recommendation feeds or whatever and then in the next six months you're going to see a leaked photo from youtube headquarters of the boardroom where they're coming up with this and tim gettys is going to be in there it's gonna be a black and white photo it's gonna be tim gettys being like two photos like this and like what are people hyping story number two what's going on at ubisoft this is uh three stories in one so bear with us i know we're running already very very long but thank you for uh your patience and your support everybody story number 2a comes from insider gaming and mike straw this is ubisoft subsidiary massive entertainment is laying off staff massive entertainment the ubisoft subsidiary studio responsible for the game such as The Division and Star Wars Outlaws, has announced that it is laying off a number of employees.

40:06In a post on social media, the studio called it, quote, Voluntary Career Transition Program. Hmm.
