Netflix Buys Warner Bros - Kinda Funny Games Daily 12.05.25

31:46There'll be some bullshit bundle.

31:48Andy Cortez:Okay, okay, okay. Rabbit of Caterbognog. They don't even know the DC app exists. Probably. Yeah, they're trying to get that Superman fucking movie. It was reported that the Director's Guild, led by Christopher Nolan now, is going to meet with Netflix with their own concerns. We'll be curious how it goes. I'm sure they got a lot of lip service and then whatever the fuck they want happens, happens, right? That seems how it always goes around these things. Nightlife says Netflix is better than the Trump-loving Paramount owners. Here's another one. Dose of Nostalgia says, I hate to be doom and gloom, but the negative outweighs the positive, in my opinion.

32:23Andy Cortez:Layoffs, price increase, less movies in theaters, game studio closures, and less creativity in general. Sucks for art. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. And I think that's a great way to stop. Right, Andy? Yeah. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of all this news. No, we're not there yet. Oh, damn. Are you going to We News? I thought we were at the end, yeah. No, no. That was story number one. Kevin, I think I had seven, right? Jesus. I got lost in the show, sorry. Let's give you a good one and then go to an ad break, okay? Number two on the Roper Report, Fallout's creator has rejoined Xbox's Obsidian. This, again, is Andy Robinson over at VGC.news.

32:58Andy Cortez:The lead behind the original 1997 Fallout game, Tim Kaine has rejoined Xbox's Obsidian Entertainment and as a full-time employee, he announced on Friday. Tim Cain, who was producer and programming lead on Fallout and a designer for its sequel, previously joined Obsidian in 2011 as a programmer working on South Park and Pillars of Eternity. He also co-directed The Outer Worlds and consulted on its recent sequel. In 2020, he left his position and worked on a remote contract basis. In a new video published to his YouTube channel on Friday, Cain revealed that he's rejoined the company, quote, as a full-time employee and in person, end quote, and that he's currently working on an unannounced project which he doesn't think fans will guess.

33:39Andy Cortez:Quote, I'm back at Obsidian. I'm there as a full-time employee and in person, so not remote, and I'm not a contractor anymore. This means that I'm not working at other places, although there's at least one game that I worked on elsewhere that is going to ship, end quote. He added, I can't talk about the project that I'm working on at Obsidian just because that's covered by NDA. Don't bother guessing. You're not going to guess right. I would probably say that I'm a lot less retired now, end quote. When I first saw the quote of Don't Bother Guessing, I thought it was like a, like a, kind of like a red herring, like, you know what I'm doing.

34:13Like, but now that I read this, I'm like, oh shit, maybe it is something completely different. Maybe it is a. It's not New Vegas 2. Oh yeah. Or just some RPG that is totally with some completely random IP we would have never guessed.

34:26Andy Cortez:Yeah. What do you think it is? I can't guess apparently. Impossible to guess. It's illegal. maybe they're doing something from the ground up brand new that'd be cool maybe something in a pentiment not pentiment but I mean like a smaller RPG we're all going to jump to a big thing and maybe it's even a callback to what the original Fallout was right remember Fallout 3 was a dramatic shift in what a Fallout game was that was Bethesda taking it on maybe they're going back and doing something that way that could be cool Herbie in the chats is probably a top down Fallout I don't understand what you guys didn't just fucking hear you can't guess it yeah don't try guessing you're not allowed but yes that would i think that would make a lot of sense too as xbox again is going how do we make money well we have this fucking tv show that's taking off like a rocket we got no new fallout because todd howard had to go to space and now he's got to go to fantasy camp so now fucking obsidian make a make a goddamn open world one do everything let's get some fucking fallout games going now if i wanted to be really kind of negative nancy about this you do this for a pessimist angle i would go don't bother guessing you'll never guess what it is and i'm reading that in like a dude like you you're not gonna guess what i'm fucking working on like well what what is it tim you know what is it that you're working on and he's like dude i'm working on a licensed bullshit fucking movie you know what i mean like like just some obsidians yeah obsidians making the mission impossible yeah yeah just like something completely completely uh out of left field but i hope that whatever it is um is bringing him happiness yeah I mean too and also cool to see I guess this might sound weird but a reinvestment in Obsidian like you know what I mean like I this is a weird one Obsidian is a studio that I fucking love but I think their games are always like eight seven seven and eight maybe an eight five you know what I mean like I loved the outer worlds too but didn't love the overall story but I liked the RPG mechanics of it avowed I loved the combat and I loved what I was doing, but I didn't feel a connection to my, like, there's always something I feel like where it's, it's, it's always the joy.

36:28Andy Cortez:It's always the joy. But they're solid fucking experiences that I really enjoy playing that I wish, you know, I'm happy those games get made and I'm happy to get made so quickly grounded. We can pump our brakes on. I would rather had another RPG in the middle of that than that, but you know, you know, I'm going to put a little poll in the Twitch chat and maybe I'll do it in the YouTube chat as well. If I have time, if I remember, what's the, what's the poll? Cause I'm going to kick to ask. I want to ask what game did people enjoy more? Oh, cool. Avowed or The Outer Worlds 2? I feel like for some reason The Outer Worlds 2 has been criminally underplayed.

37:04Andy Cortez:I feel like Avowed came out that really hey, cool, it's the beginning of the year we wanted something, people jumped in, and I feel like I just don't hear enough about Outer Worlds 2. Yeah. It was one of those that did kind of come and go for a lot of people and it may have just been the time that it was being released at. Uh, we'll find out what the poll results are.

42:34Andy Cortez:And we're back with some poll results. and he asked which game did you like more the outer worlds two were avowed what does it look like they were the poll results were delayed a bit because i put it up in my chat and i'm not streaming right now that's trouble so it sat there for about a minute sure um sure but we're catching up and it looks like 36 of the vote says show me the results 42 now says show me the results 40 of the vote it's on twitch right yeah because i see over here on youtube a strong 66 65 65 65. Outer Worlds 2. Right now, the Outer Worlds 2 is beating about 42 to 20 on Twitch chat.

43:13Now it's 44 to 18. 46 to 18%. Yeah. Outer Worlds 2 dominating.

43:19Andy Cortez:Good. That's all I want to hear. Super chat from Trimbley Wimbley. Finally playing the Outer Worlds 2 and really loving it. Definitely a contender. Meanwhile, I bounced off of that after a few hours. Well, good. I'm glad that people got the right idea because I think Outer Worlds 2 is a much better game. Another one of those ones that I'm so excited to eventually get back to but I can tell you what's going to happen. Review, review, review, review, catch up game of the year, game of the year, catch up, and then it'll be new year and I'll go, go, go. And then it's going to be, hey, we're announcing the Outer Worlds 2 DLC and I'm going to go, fuck, I got to finish that Stevie Rogers run, my second playthrough, because that's my real character.

43:49I'll tell you where I'm at mentally with it. I'm going to compare it to...

43:53Andy Cortez:Is it a contender for you? Is it in your top ten? No. Dude, I've only played like an hour. Oh, I thought you double backed for more. No. Oh, okay. So right now I'm going to compare this to my, another situation I had like, I think it was in 2021, 2022, where at the beginning of the year, Scarlet Nexus came out. And I played like fucking 40 hours of that RPG game. And then Tales of Arise came out. And I wanted to play that way more, but I just didn't have time. And it's like, man, I wish I could have swapped spots and put more time. I wish I could have put more time into Outer Worlds 2 than Avowed.

44:30Because I just didn't love Avowed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, Avowed did so much about Avowed's gameplay rocked, but, like, nothing else really was memorable or intriguing for me. There's a couple of good story missions and things that make you go, ooh, give me more of this. And then I rarely got more of that.

44:47Andy Cortez:Yeah. Number three for the Dudley Boys. Grasshopper announces Romeo is a dead man. Release date says it will be self-publishing the game. This is Chris Scullion at BGC.news. round of applause for vgc they're killing it today grasshopper manufacturer has announced a release date and publishing details for its next game romeo is a dead man the game which was previously given a vague 2026 release window will now release earlier than expected end quote on february 11th 2026 on playstation 5 xbox and of course pc v esteem in a statement executive director scenario writer producer goichi suda aka suda 5-1 joked that the game was secretly supposed to release at the same time as Grand Theft Auto 6, but says that now Rockstar has delayed its game.

45:35Andy Cortez:There's no longer any need to hold back Grasshopper's game. The NetEase-owned Grasshopper has also announced that it will be self-published in the game, marking a first in the studio's history. Andy, this seems like your shit. Space, crazy combat, we're watching it right now. First off, a lot of people are probably going to come at you and go, Greg Miller, it's Suda51, not Suda51. We had this whole conversation yesterday. one and bless is like yeah but you know people corrected me and told me it's gonna i'm gonna call him the 51st suda can i tell you i somebody in the chat explained it and it was like oh that's so smart i'll give it to you again you're gonna you're gonna feel like quite the idiot when i say this is like the octopath thing goichi suda in japanese and correct me if i'm wrong go five ichi one shut the fuck yeah damn when we had this conversation yesterday chat clued me in on that I was like, damn, that's good.

46:27Andy Cortez:That's a good ass name. That's a really cool thing. In case you've missed it, Romeo is a dead man. Paint the screen red and travel the cosmos in this bloodstained action adventure game. Witness the latest from Grasshopper Manufacturer, the advent of ultra violent science fiction. Yeah, this one caught all of our eyes when it was first shown off. I think it's just got one of those striking art styles. And one reason why I never vibed with prior Suda51 titles was always kind of like visual identity. And I think the Travis games would look striking in some moments and some other iterations just kind of looked dated in a way.

47:08I just wasn't always the biggest fan. But this game is doing a lot for me visually and just kind of like tonally. I think it looks like it's just doing some weird stuff.

47:18Andy Cortez:It looks super weird. It looks super cool. it looks like a modern pseudo game like of like basically

47:27Andy Cortez:the cheerleader Michael Rosenbaum was the head Juliette Scarlet Lollipop Chainsaw I can remember Juliette Scarlet was her fucking name I can't remember yeah yeah yeah I know what you mean looks awesome looks awesome and great news like hey we're doing what did he say punk's not dead yeah that's awesome great news and a great time February 11th like I know everything is busy in video games all the time but like You come out February, I feel like that's going to be a good one to turn some heads, get people actually playing it. Get your eyes on this early before the onslaught of March. We haven't talked about this either.

48:01Andy Cortez:Great job, Suda. Ben is so obsessed with Transformers now. So obsessed with Transformers. I bought him an Optimus Prime the other day. It won't stop. Just insane. Let's get a gun in his hands. Deal. Buy one. Be Christmas Andy. Come over with it and I'll make the shrimp linguine and you can watch whatever show him Akira. I mean, you show him a video with a Gundam flying through space and then the rocket missile cluster is doing the it'll change his life. He freaks out every time I wear the fucking, your shirt. Where he's like, Daddy, is that a Transformer? I'm like, this is a Gundam, a T.O. Andy made.

48:36That's your armored core, but oh, we should have him play armored core. Your fucking ceiling artwork for your shirts? Well, it's one I created.

48:44Andy Cortez:Number four on the Roper Report, Splitgate is back. This is via Splitgate on Twitter. introducing the evolution of split gate to no heroes no abilities no limits split gate arena reloaded fuses the best of split gate wanted to bringing back that classic arena shooter feel play for free on PC and console December 17th you care there was a moment where split gate one was huge well it was huge I should say it was huge then everything went wrong for split gate 2 it had its cycle make shooters great again that was this guy right yes yes and you know noticeably missing from the from this video uh they have i think like their their head gameplay designer kind of uh being the face of it got it whenever they eventually do cut to footage of the devs being like hey here's what we know we've listened to feedback the thing is the game is awesome and it's just a different era and there are so many different video games i even talked about this with goddamn concord if concord came out 10 years ago it'd be we'd be on concord 6 by now you know what i mean yeah yeah yeah it's just it's such a crowded market i hope for the best i hope that they could find somewhat of a sustainable like player base yeah for people who love those arena shooters maybe for people who see the the the read the tea leaves of halo infinite not doing any more updates and going, I want more arena shooter vibes.

50:11Sure. And I do think that dropping the hero stuff, while a neat evolution isn't what people wanted out of the game, where it's like, hey, you're picking from different factions and they all have their own classes or whatever. Get back to what made the game really, really good. Okay. Yeah.

50:28Andy Cortez:Good luck to you. Number five on the Roper Report, Samson, Tydall, Tydall, Tydall, In Dalston. Do you know what that means? You have to put your hand on my shoulder while you're pronouncing it. In Dalston story. Unveiled in the trailer is Liquid Swords' open world action game debut. This is Joelle Daniels at Gaming Bolt. Liquid Swords, the studio founded by former Avalanche Studios COO and co-founder Christopher Sundberg, has finally, officially unveiled the open world title it has been working on, dubbed Samson, a Time Dalston story. The game was unveiled with a brand new trailer. According to the description of the title on Steam, Samson will feature the concept of debt as part of its core gameplay.

51:11Andy Cortez:Players will have access to a limited number of action points and can then have them spent on missions. Each in-game day also represents a new daily quota that players have to hit in order to get out of debt. Failing to hit the quota means that the interest spikes will cause the following day to be even worse. to help you out samson will have access to two main modes of combat described as brawling and weaponized driving brawling will have samson make use of momentum terrain and improvise tools to take on enemies while in uh high speed chases however samson will have the ability to use his impressive driving skills to turn his entire car into a deadly weapon uh it's confirmed for pc through steam and epic doesn't have a console or release window yet sounds interesting i didn't get a chance i've seen glimpses of the trailers i've glimpsed back up here what do you think andy i i mean it it looks like it could be one of those sort of vaporware what's the game that came out earlier in the year that really really failed mine's eye mine's eye yeah like it's one of those where okay it presents well it looks like it could be fun and has uh you know it it looks high of high production but yeah until we get our hands on the sticks you know that that's one we'll really know but i don't know what finn dalston is that just i thought you would have googled laws i mean i did and like all it's telling me is yeah it's the samson returns to tin dalston a city shape that uh like i i just don't i assumed it was a reference of something else yeah like uh um love crafting right yeah it strikes me as you're saying that yeah yeah I thought it was a maybe like a director or a producer or something but it's just a town of where Samson's from oh that's it huh pretty much set in the fictional city to Ndallston oh I don't like that at all so like are they creating a universe no are there going to be other Tendallston stories are we saying it right I doubt we're saying well no you are probably I wouldn't say why do I have more questions about the name of the that's the biggest thing about it is like trailer looks interesting enough this is a bad name for a game it's samson a tin dalston story it's samson colon like debt to die i don't know but like you know something fun more fun than where i'm going like oh is this like a fucking grim's fairy tale what am i talking about now on the flip side 25 bucks oh i didn't see that i mean maybe i read it i just didn't process it yeah that's good you know in an era of money being tight, you know?

53:45Yeah, yeah, yeah. All the tariffs, you know, affordability.

53:48Andy Cortez:That also tells me it's smaller, which again is the thing I'm always talking about when you're talking about Avalanche Studios co-creator. Like, great, make a small game when you come out. Don't try to go on and make some giant game that can't hold up. All right, I'll keep my eye on Samson. Oh, I can't wait for the name change because you need to change the name. Number six, speaking of names, Soul Shogunate is a samurai space opera action RPG in development for PC and consoles. This is Alessio Palumbo over at WCCF Tech. Admits the veritable sea of announcements. Samson, Hello Sunshine, Luna Abyss, Dawn of War 4, Crosswind slash Windrose, to name a few, at the PC Gaming Show.

54:26Andy Cortez:Yesterday, there was a PC Gaming Show. Most wanted 2025 showcase. SOL, that's what I'm just going to call it, SOL, Shogunate, clearly stood out among the most impressive. small independent creator chaos manufacturing reimagines the sci-fi genre in samurai fashion in this space opera action rpg a powerful shogunate uh rules a colonized solar system however it's about to be challenged by protagonist yuzuki uh the broken heir of a once powerful samurai family that was massacred by a rival clan with no choice left andy by the way great fucking reactions to ghost of yote dog and he's got an eclipse channel our eclipse uh instagram now and i caught one the other day where you reacted to a big spoiler in the game so funny i i shared it and then i had sucker punch people dming me about it so great job what a game but now that we've mentioned it we own your clip channel uh with no choice left uh but to become an outlaw ronin uh yuzuki seeks to carve a bloody path of vengeance with a traditional ronin arsenal reforged for the battlefields of the future as the game unfolds new abilities and skill combinations are unlocked enabling evolving tactics against increasingly challenging foes soul shogunate is still in early development but we already know the game will be released on console and pcs andy is doing it for you no because i've yet to see any like movement of of combat so far a lot of the movement that i've seen doesn't see you know like i was mentioning yesterday the sign of a good game is like when the animations are like maybe sure when they feel good all right we're seeing walk cycles and that's what a lot of early devs do it's like let's just show environments with walk cycles my thing so my immediate question i've been reading i haven't been looking up everything i read fuck yeah what i'm looking at no yeah i disagree but my question here is like this is action rpg in the way we would call assassin's creed action rpg are we doing like an action rpg that's an action game that I'm not going to want to play.

56:27I think that people are just tired of saying the word Souls-like because that either turns people off or that annoys people.

56:32Andy Cortez:I don't want a Souls-like. Yeah, this definitely looks very, very early in development. Oh, for sure. And I, you know, it could be awesome, but I don't, it could also just be one of those that comes out and is a lost soul aside. Yeah. Soul, S-O-L. Damn. How about that? we will keep our eyes looking at soul which means sun but the sun is big news i wanted small news where go me you go to uh our last story the we news channel where we cover all the small news items you need to know about let's start off with gratitude all right first off andy cortez i want to thank you for teaching me how to do my hair where you taught me to put to put the stuff in and then bring it up to give me the lift.

I'm loving them. Don't worry about that. I can never remember the name of it. Doesn't matter. Kevin. All good. No worries. Thank you. Shout out to you, Kevin. I like tally lights. I was thinking about this when I was doing my intro, how nice it is having the tally lights. We've had them forever. This isn't a new thing, but I don't think I've ever called out how nice it is to have the lights on the top of the camera to know where to look.

57:51Andy Cortez:Oh, is that what they're called? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't know that. Kevin, you run a good studio. Number seven, Wii News. Karen launches January 29th, 2026 on PS5 and PC.

That debuted on Nintendo Direct at one point. Can I see a trailer for Mio? I don't remember this. Mio Memories in Orbit. Memories in Orbit. More importantly, I'm doing something here where I'm going to pass. I'm going to pass something here for all video games.

58:26Andy Cortez:As you know, everyone writing about video games now, talking about video games is influenced by me. I hear everywhere I go. I've been watching you since I was in junior high. I do this. You know what I mean? Jordan Midler wouldn't know his fucking left foot from his right foot. If it wasn't for me, we're done saying Xbox series. We are going to say Xbox. It comes to Xbox. No one's going to be confused. No, it's coming to the original Xbox. It's coming to Xbox One. We're only talking about the X and S. We understand. Yeah. Done. I'm done with it. I don't like this. You shouldn't have shown me this.

59:05Andy Cortez:There was no reason for Greg Miller to look at this. Okay. How dare you? You wasted my time and my energy. Carmageddon Rogue Shift launches in early 2026. I don't like this. Digimon Time Stranger. DLC Alternate Dimension launches December 8th. You spoke about this one. People love that Digimon. What the fuck, Digimon? Like, I know everybody wants me to play Digimon. Ignacio Rojas told me about it. I bought it. Or I got a code. Whatever. I have it, though. Like, don't launch your DLC the same time as fucking Pokemon's DLC. Can we somehow differentiate? It kind of seems like Sega doing something the day that Mario's doing something, you know?

59:44Yeah, exactly. We're here, too. I'm going to do a kickflip on him or whatever.

59:49Andy Cortez:I fucking hate kickflips from Mario on Sonic. Sable creative director Gregorios Kivras forms a new studio. Eto. I butchered it all. I'm sorry. ID at Xbox Indie Selects Demo Fest is set for December 9th. And there's a Monster Hunter showcase set for December 8th at 2 p.m. Pacific. I didn't read this article, but I just saw the title quote of the director saying, really hope that you return to the game. And it made me feel profound. We got to come back. I want to come back. Is it going to be in Contender Free? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's on my top ten for sure. Really? Oh, yeah. Are you sure? Because that's something you say near the beginning of the year.

1:00:35and then the next thing you know, you have 17 things that you're like, oh, that'll definitely make my top 10. No. And as you're making this, you're like, shit, that's not making my top 10.
