1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,960
Hello everyone.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,900
Oh no, stop, absolutely not.

3
00:00:04,900 --> 00:00:05,740
No, don't do that.

4
00:00:05,740 --> 00:00:06,800
No, no, this stays.

5
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:07,740
No, it stays.

6
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:08,580
No, it doesn't.

7
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:09,400
No, stop it.

8
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,240
No, because now we made it.

9
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:11,080
You're gonna ruin it by doing nothing.

10
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,400
No, now we've made a commotion.

11
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:13,280
Look at them sound waves.

12
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,280
It needs to stay.

13
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,120
This is it.

14
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:15,960
No. Fantastic.

15
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:16,780
No. No.

16
00:00:16,780 --> 00:00:18,520
Raw, raw dogging it.

17
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:19,640
This is how it works.

18
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:20,500
Say hello.

19
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:22,760
Hello.

20
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:23,600
Say hello.

21
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,420
Hello.

22
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,000
It's perfect.

23
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,500
It's what people want.

24
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:29,340
Is it?

25
00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:30,180
What's with that?

26
00:00:30,180 --> 00:00:31,020
Nothing.

27
00:00:31,020 --> 00:00:31,840
We don't need to carry on.

28
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:32,680
Look, we've moved past it.

29
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:33,500
It's happened.

30
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:34,340
It's there.

31
00:00:34,340 --> 00:00:35,180
It's out in the world.

32
00:00:35,180 --> 00:00:36,020
We're done.

33
00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:36,860
Let's get straight into it.

34
00:00:36,860 --> 00:00:37,960
We've prepared.

35
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,800
Well, I've prepared.

36
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:39,620
We're bringing you the news.

37
00:00:39,620 --> 00:00:40,760
You've sat around and done niche.

38
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,320
No, I prepared by preparing you to be prepared.

39
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,140
True.

40
00:00:44,140 --> 00:00:46,220
And I've briefed you on this preparation.

41
00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:48,240
So I have a little list.

42
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,440
We'll go through the list.

43
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,960
Not in order.

44
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,080
I'll group some bits.

45
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,800
There's one big fat juicy bit at the end

46
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,580
that I cannot wait to talk about.

47
00:00:56,580 --> 00:00:58,640
Because I feel like the pair of us,

48
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,680
our minds will meld and we'll be bouncing.

49
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,280
I'm gonna have to turn to you.

50
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,080
It'll be decent.

51
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,360
So June is a big day for gaming,

52
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,640
which normally is, I don't,

53
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,160
we tend to make somewhat of an effort

54
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,480
to watch the showcases or at least bits of it.

55
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,320
Or if we don't catch it,

56
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:20,680
you normally get the highlights.

57
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,280
Is it always in June?

58
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,120
I couldn't tell you.

59
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,960
No, they're kind of all throughout the year, really.

60
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:27,860
There's just some big hitters in June, isn't there?

61
00:01:27,860 --> 00:01:30,200
Well, June 7th, Summer Game Fest.

62
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,300
June 9th is the Xbox Showcase.

63
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:34,840
And then June 10th is the Ubisoft,

64
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,320
I'll call it a showcase.

65
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:38,080
They call it something else.

66
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,880
I don't really know what goes on with the Summer Game Fest.

67
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,080
I can't say I've ever caught it.

68
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,360
All that research, my friend.

69
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,500
But, no, but the other two,

70
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:52,540
so the Ubisoft one is one that I'm interested in

71
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,360
purely because of Assassin's Creed Red.

72
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,200
Yeah.

73
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,840
So I don't really know.

74
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,200
I would imagine off of the back of Mirage,

75
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,400
that was sort of when they said that they were after Mirage.

76
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,400
That's when they're trying to have that centralized hub.

77
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,240
Yeah.

78
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,680
Wasn't there something called Infinity with that?

79
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,080
Yeah, which was like what the hub was.

80
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:13,920
Yeah.

81
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:16,000
I think it was like the hub is Infinity

82
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,880
or something like that.

83
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,800
And then that's where all the games would be

84
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,480
and how they would all link.

85
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,800
It's really, really confusing stuff.

86
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,640
Yeah.

87
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:28,480
But obviously Assassin's Creed.

88
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,160
And they're gonna sort of enlighten us on that, are they?

89
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,640
I don't know because I've-

90
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:35,800
Codename Red, next big flagship.

91
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,640
Flagship.

92
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:37,480
Flagship.

93
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,320
Flagship.

94
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,920
The next big flagship game in long running stealthy series.

95
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:45,680
April, 2024, everything we know so far about AC Japan.

96
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,000
Yeah, yeah, because it's set-

97
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,280
Feudal era Japan.

98
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,120
Yeah.

99
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:49,960
Yeah.

100
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,300
Which is what people have been asking for

101
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:53,140
from Assassin's Creed for-

102
00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:54,240
Back to the roots, isn't it?

103
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,440
Very long time because Mirage, obviously,

104
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,780
they did, in essence, go back to their roots.

105
00:02:59,780 --> 00:03:01,920
And whilst I absolutely slated it

106
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:04,880
and think it is one of the more terrible

107
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,000
Assassin's Creed's I've played,

108
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,560
still played it, still completed it,

109
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,400
still bought the collector's edition.

110
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,880
And there was enjoyment to be had there.

111
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,120
You could see the direction that they're going in

112
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,320
in that they were going back to what they used to be

113
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,520
pre Odyssey, Valhalla-

114
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,360
Origins and what not.

115
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,000
Origins and when they started to change face a little bit.

116
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,000
So you could sort of get little glimpses of the past,

117
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,240
but wrapped up in this future fucking suit.

118
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,240
Because obviously you saw quite a lot of me playing it.

119
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,080
Yes and no.

120
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,120
And I remember specifically the free running

121
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,120
and me constantly whinging about it.

122
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,920
And then you were like, it looks fine until you played it.

123
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:52,760
Oh God, yeah.

124
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,320
And you're like, oh my God.

125
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,080
Cause it was really janky and just not fucking nice.

126
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,880
But it had aspects of the game where it's like,

127
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,960
no, I do quite like it.

128
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,120
It's a very short game.

129
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,200
But alongside that, I thought that that was when

130
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,440
they were gonna delve more into the,

131
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,880
what was it, what was it, Infinity?

132
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,080
Oh, uh- What was the hub thing?

133
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:16,920
Did it say?

134
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,320
No, I just typed in red, hang on.

135
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,320
Because it's just very confusing what their goal is

136
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,520
with that.

137
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,520
And I remember looking at it before trying to figure out

138
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,360
what the fuck it was.

139
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,520
And we just couldn't make heads or tails of, is it?

140
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,680
Everything you need to know.

141
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,280
A video game adjacent experience.

142
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,520
Mysterious, I can't fucking speak.

143
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,360
Whoa.

144
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,280
It's a very warm day.

145
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:41,120
Hot weather.

146
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,120
A single entry point.

147
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:47,600
An adjacent, a game adjacent experience

148
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,640
as an interactive hub that also features narrative aspects.

149
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,200
Whilst it's not a game in a traditional sense,

150
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,680
it looks to represent the future of the series

151
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,440
by acting as the single entry point for our fans

152
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,880
into the Assassin's Creed franchise.

153
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,320
So I don't know what that means.

154
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,360
That's kind of, and if you remember at the time,

155
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,680
I think I remember either listening to the pod

156
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,840
or speaking on the pod about how it was,

157
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:11,680
like what the fuck is it?

158
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,520
Do you remember?

159
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,560
Like this was like last year.

160
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,040
Yeah.

161
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:15,880
Because I can't-

162
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,360
It's described by the exec producer as not a game per se,

163
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,520
but a single entry point.

164
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,360
But I don't know what the-

165
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,200
So-

166
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,020
Keep saying the same thing.

167
00:05:24,020 --> 00:05:26,240
So single entry point, does that mean, in my head,

168
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,880
that means a game launcher like Battle.net

169
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,560
or like Steam or Game Pass.

170
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,800
Housing the ongoing evolution of the franchise

171
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,160
and connect future game releases

172
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,420
into a single interwoven experience.

173
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,160
Really don't know.

174
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,080
I don't know.

175
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,240
Like I say, that-

176
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,920
Perhaps it is that something where you'll get something new

177
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,080
and you'll load it in and there'll be stuff to do that-

178
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,200
What?

179
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,360
I suppose potentially it could be a really good way of

180
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,760
kind of like linking back, like not DLC essentially,

181
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,200
but you would be able to, so say,

182
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,280
I'll use existing ones just cause it's easier.

183
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:06,180
But say you're playing Mirage and through this hub,

184
00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:08,840
you're able to then go into the world of Syndicate

185
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:12,520
and do some sort of quest there, linking back in that way.

186
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,520
If they're going forwards, creating games where you can then,

187
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,080
so it is, you're going back into that kind of land

188
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,920
and having more stuff to do there,

189
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,960
but then going back into the game you're playing now,

190
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,900
I can see how that kind of makes sense

191
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:28,200
and would be quite cool.

192
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,600
I reckon what it screams for me is,

193
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,800
is you have this central hub

194
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,480
that is on your PlayStation console or whatever,

195
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,980
where it would be, sorry, what was it called?

196
00:06:42,980 --> 00:06:43,820
Did it say it was-

197
00:06:43,820 --> 00:06:44,660
Infinity hub.

198
00:06:44,660 --> 00:06:45,580
Infinity hub.

199
00:06:45,580 --> 00:06:48,560
So you have the infinity hub like a launcher

200
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,520
and then you go into that

201
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,320
and then there's all the Assassin's Creed games,

202
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,200
whereby I'm saying that, so when Mirage come out,

203
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,060
I don't know if there was a physical edition

204
00:07:04,060 --> 00:07:05,200
or if it was just with the collector's edition,

205
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,680
it was a digital code for me.

206
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,120
Yeah, what you're saying is just a launcher.

207
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:10,960
That'd be a bit wet though.

208
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,760
No, I'm saying launcher, go into the launcher,

209
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,360
there's Assassin's Creed Red, there's Mirage,

210
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,080
there's fucking, there's Black Flag.

211
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,760
Obviously you have to pay for the newer ones

212
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,440
and then rather than there ever being a physical copy

213
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,200
of that game, it's now all digital,

214
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,760
but you access them through, are you not following me?

215
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:33,600
I am following you.

216
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,040
You access them through the hub, so-

217
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,440
But what would be the point?

218
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,560
Because then that would be how you would link them up.

219
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,560
So like you just said, if there's little tips,

220
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,680
let's say Assassin's Creed Red comes out,

221
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,600
they might add a section where you go

222
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,880
into the world of Mirage.

223
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,080
Yeah, that's what we were just saying.

224
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,760
Yeah, but I'm saying that if all of those

225
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,760
Assassin's Creed games are within the hub now,

226
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,200
rather than you having individual discs to play them,

227
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,600
they're all digitally downloaded.

228
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,720
Yeah, you can access any game at any point,

229
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,240
any Assassin's Creed game at any point.

230
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,360
Yeah. Yeah.

231
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,720
We're both making the same point, yeah.

232
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,160
We're on the same page.

233
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,840
Good grief, yeah.

234
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:14,680
Yeah.

235
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,080
It's 26 degrees, leave me alone.

236
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,360
We're on the same point.

237
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,200
Yeah.

238
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,200
So that would be-

239
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,120
That would be cool.

240
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,640
Yeah. That would be cool.

241
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:24,560
Yeah.

242
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,400
And also I think kind of a way of rewarding people

243
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,880
who have got stuff.

244
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,120
I can't imagine, I don't anticipate.

245
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,240
What was that noise?

246
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,080
Oh, sorry.

247
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,920
Yeah, no, sorry.

248
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,200
It's like a train coming.

249
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,040
The thunder.

250
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:45,360
I can't imagine it's gonna be as in depth

251
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,720
as everyone they've ever made.

252
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:48,560
Yeah.

253
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:50,680
But it would be cool in the sense if there was,

254
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:54,400
and I know there are rewards for owning previous games

255
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,400
throughout the games, isn't there?

256
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,720
There's outfits, there's quests and shit.

257
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,440
Yeah, like Ubisoft rewards and shit like that.

258
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,880
But that would be kind of a cool way going forward

259
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,480
to kind of reward people who have all the previous games.

260
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,480
Get more.

261
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,560
Yeah.

262
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:10,480
I'm hoping that it's obviously off the back of,

263
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,560
Mirage was a separate entity compared to Valhalla,

264
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:19,360
which was the latest iteration before Mirage come out,

265
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,840
was at a point where me personally,

266
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,160
I think a lot of people were saying,

267
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,520
fucking drop the Assassin's Creed franchise,

268
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,360
turn it into something else.

269
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,000
So this isn't Assassin's Creed anymore.

270
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,880
Like keep the games by all means in their format,

271
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,280
but the likes of Origins Odyssey and up there,

272
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,320
they're not the standard Assassin's Creed games.

273
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,840
So remove them from that franchise

274
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,960
and have that as something else

275
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,880
and then continue if you'd like to.

276
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,840
And then obviously Mirage then comes out,

277
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,480
drags it back a little bit.

278
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,480
So I would love, but I have no faith because it is Ubisoft,

279
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,960
that Assassin's Creed Red is the definitive turning point

280
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,440
of the franchise going back to what it used to be.

281
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,760
And then you'll be looking at the Assassin's Creed brand

282
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,240
in five or six years time going,

283
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,720
oh, thank God they stuck with it and continued

284
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,760
rather than just letting it go is what I'm hoping,

285
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,440
but I can't see that happening.

286
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,560
I think it's very difficult because as we've said,

287
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:21,240
countless times, you and I,

288
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,640
or unlike a number of our friends,

289
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,640
we're very much the pre-Origins Odyssey kind of vibe.

290
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,000
But there are so many people that love those games.

291
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,520
Like I know multiple people who have a hundred percent

292
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,640
in like shit like that.

293
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,480
Yeah, yeah.

294
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,120
And we can't like, it's almost, where do you draw,

295
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,400
a bit like we were speaking on in the Patreon

296
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,960
about how, where are you drawing those lines

297
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,080
with regards to making these decisions?

298
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,440
And it's always gonna feel like

299
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,120
when someone's made a decision that you're not happy with,

300
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,720
you feel what the fuck, what are they doing that for?

301
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,240
Like, oh, you're gonna lose so much money,

302
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,960
you're gonna lose this, that and the other.

303
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,560
But for every one of us, there's gonna be,

304
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,200
people that love it and people that haven't been playing

305
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,520
for the start don't have that like pre-existing bias of,

306
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,800
hang on a minute, this isn't the franchise I'm used to.

307
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,000
I'm not, whereas the format that I've known and loved

308
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,640
for all these years, they're just taking it for what it is,

309
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,640
which ultimately they are still great games,

310
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,160
they're just not our cup of tea.

311
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,480
And actually, it kind of feeds into that point

312
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,400
of calling it something else,

313
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,240
because had they come out and not called it Assassin's Creed,

314
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,080
we'd probably been all over it.

315
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,880
Difficult to say, it's impossible to ever truly know.

316
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:39,720
Because I mean, I think-

317
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,240
No, quite possibly to be fair, because it was-

318
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,000
You cannot disconnect that bias that you have.

319
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,360
Yeah, because you were going,

320
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,680
this isn't Assassin's Creed 2, this isn't Black Flag.

321
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:48,720
Like, how am I Assassin's Creed

322
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,440
running up a snowy mountain with an axe?

323
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,920
How is this, how am I Assassin's Creed?

324
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,320
Yeah, there was a serious disconnect there.

325
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,880
But yeah, and then you can't give-

326
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,920
Give me the animus, give me Desmond back.

327
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:58,760
Yeah.

328
00:11:58,760 --> 00:11:59,600
I mean-

329
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,920
But then, I don't know, I just feel like we're,

330
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,080
it's annoying because you're never gonna know.

331
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,400
It's one of those franchises where it's so ingrained

332
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,400
that I feel like, like Pokemon fans,

333
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,880
regardless of what comes out,

334
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,000
you're gonna be interested in it,

335
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,920
at least in a tiny little aspect.

336
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,400
So, Assassin's Creed Red comes out, I'm gonna buy it.

337
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,400
I'm gonna buy it, and I'm gonna play it.

338
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,880
Off of the back of what Mirage was like,

339
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,360
and it being so-

340
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,800
At which point you went, that's it, I'm done.

341
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,200
That's it, yeah, exactly, I said, that's it, I'm done.

342
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,000
But because it was so unsimilar to Valhalla,

343
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,080
Origins and Odyssey, and more similar to Assassin's Creed 2,

344
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,680
Revelations, Brotherhood,

345
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,760
if Assassin's Creed Red follows that recipe,

346
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,560
and doesn't fucking, I feel like Mirage was kind of like

347
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:55,560
a test to see the turning point,

348
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:57,920
that crossroads Ubisoft as to, right,

349
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,480
do we continue following the new format,

350
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,000
or do we try and go back to the old format, but evolve it?

351
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,120
And it's mixed, I don't know which direction

352
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:06,960
they would go with.

353
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,600
Yeah, and I think they're almost,

354
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,120
it's like they're trying to do both,

355
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:11,960
they're trying to keep everyone up.

356
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

357
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,040
So what date again, remind us?

358
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:21,040
So that is, the Ubisoft one is June 10th,

359
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,280
which is where you'll see Assassin's Creed Red,

360
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,400
there'll be more on Star Wars Outlaws.

361
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,120
Oh, nice. Outlaws, Outlaw, Outlaw, Outlaws.

362
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,160
Because that's in Hot Water as well, sort of,

363
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:39,160
because one of the, I think it's like one of the quest lines

364
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:46,160
with Jabba the Hutt is locked behind the season pass.

365
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,680
I think it is season pass or something like that.

366
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:54,640
You basically have to pay extra to gain access to more.

367
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,320
I think there's a Jabba the Hutt storyline

368
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,920
already in the base game,

369
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,000
but there's further intricacies

370
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,960
that are locked behind a paywall, essentially.

371
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,280
So I know that a lot of people were kicking off about that.

372
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,120
I might be wrong now

373
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,880
because I haven't actually looked into that for a long time,

374
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,720
but I know me and Ash were talking about it

375
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,080
when it first sort of come out,

376
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,440
maybe like a month, month and a bit ago.

377
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,520
And we were both like, it's fucking stupid.

378
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,200
So yeah, I'm not really sure.

379
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,800
I'm interested in the new Star Wars, Outlaw.

380
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,640
Is it Outlaw or Outlaws?

381
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,200
I think it's Outlaw, whatever.

382
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,880
But yeah, it's one of those where if it's not good,

383
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,600
I'm not gonna be upset about it.

384
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,440
Yeah.

385
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,800
I mean, it's interesting, but at the same time,

386
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,240
I'm not a massive Star Wars fan,

387
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,560
so it's not unlike fucking Lord of the Rings Gollum

388
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,720
when that come out.

389
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,880
And I was like, oh my God, it's gonna be good.

390
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,280
And it comes out, it's like, no, it's really shit.

391
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,680
So shit that they've all scrambled together

392
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,680
and are like, look, we need to put a new film out.

393
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,720
We can't, this'll be our legacy.

394
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,720
But that's an interesting one.

395
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,280
It's in itself in that you've got

396
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,240
Riders of Rohirrim ended this year, it's coming out,

397
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,240
and that's like an anime styled, well, it's just animated.

398
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,520
And then yeah, 2026, you've got Lord of the Rings,

399
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,240
the hunt for Gollum is what they're caught,

400
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,520
is what it's been coined.

401
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,400
And that is Peter Jackson said to you the other day

402
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,080
and Andy Serkis is producing it as well.

403
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,400
So that's a very, very interesting one.

404
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,520
And I really, really hope that they do it justice.

405
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,640
I feel like when you've got someone like Peter Jackson

406
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,400
running the show.

407
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,800
Yeah, yeah.

408
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,180
I don't know how, because they know what they're doing,

409
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,680
but he's also the man responsible for the Hobbit.

410
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,800
Right.

411
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,080
The Hobbit wasn't good, wasn't that good.

412
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,600
What?

413
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,420
Yeah, I didn't like it.

414
00:15:52,420 --> 00:15:53,260
What?

415
00:15:53,260 --> 00:15:54,600
Not as much as Lord of the Rings.

416
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:55,640
You could leave the Hobbit.

417
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,360
No, to be fair, I was actually gonna say that in a way,

418
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,240
but more so with how it was filmed.

419
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,280
So you was about to hit me with fucking angst and bias.

420
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,080
No, no, how it was filmed,

421
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,720
in the sense that Lord of the Rings is filmed better.

422
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,960
But I don't think, I think I...

423
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,880
Because Lord of the Rings was filmed 30 frames, wasn't it?

424
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,760
And I think it was the Hobbit was filmed 60 frames.

425
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,680
Well, it's that blue light shit as well.

426
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,560
Yeah, there was something that changed

427
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,760
how it actually looks,

428
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,240
because obviously when you put them side by side,

429
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,600
they do look very, very different.

430
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,080
The Hobbit was good,

431
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,680
but when I think of Lord of the Rings,

432
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,120
I don't think of the Hobbit attached to that.

433
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:35,960
Actually.

434
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,360
Yeah, I don't.

435
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,200
What are you judging?

436
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,120
What are you doing?

437
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,980
As a trilogy, the Hobbit wasn't very good?

438
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,440
Yeah, yeah, I just wasn't...

439
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,280
No, you know what really pissed me off?

440
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,600
I wasn't a massive fan of it.

441
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,240
And I appreciate, I haven't read the Hobbit book,

442
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,480
but I'm assuming it follows it quite closely.

443
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,320
But to this day, I will never get over the fact

444
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,840
that Thorin walking over the ice,

445
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,960
like watching him be dead and then,

446
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,880
oh, spoiler, spoiler, spoiler.

447
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,160
If you haven't watched or read the Hobbit,

448
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,160
this is the biggest spoiler I could possibly fucking tell you.

449
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,000
I'm sure he'd say it.

450
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,440
There'll be one person.

451
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,280
Yeah.

452
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,120
There'll be one person.

453
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:13,960
Oh, no.

454
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:14,880
Sorry.

455
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,600
But when he's walking out, what is it?

456
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,520
That's not Yaz, I guess the other one, Azog.

457
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,680
Azog.

458
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,300
And he's walking over him, like, dude, everyone's dead.

459
00:17:24,300 --> 00:17:25,140
Just stop it.

460
00:17:25,140 --> 00:17:25,960
Just let him go.

461
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,040
Let that fucker float under the ice.

462
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,320
But no, he has to walk over him,

463
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,000
giving it the big I am, stab him through the foot,

464
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,520
like sewing shoes, what ultimately leads in.

465
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:35,720
Spoiler, he's deaf.

466
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:36,560
Deaf.

467
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,080
Like, and I just, it really, really made me really angry.

468
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,200
That's because that's that standard fucking,

469
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,160
like when the villain is giving a big old speech

470
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,000
when they got- It's just a cop out in it.

471
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,680
When Batman sat there in a chair, fucking tied up,

472
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,960
and you got a shotgun to his head,

473
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,640
but you're doing a fucking 10 minute monologue.

474
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,080
So just pull the trigger, man.

475
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:53,920
Just pull the trigger.

476
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:54,760
Just kill the geezer.

477
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,600
It doesn't matter.

478
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,480
So we were watching that film, that shark film,

479
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,000
and it was the girls, and then they're with their dad,

480
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,600
or one of them with their dad.

481
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,320
And then he's like, they finally get up into this, like,

482
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,400
rock pool or wherever they are.

483
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,760
And they go, he goes, it will be okay

484
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,320
as long as we just stick together.

485
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,800
And then not even a millisecond later, shark,

486
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,200
eats his entire torso, drags him under, dad's dead, gone.

487
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,720
You know, and it's like, you just need to do this

488
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,560
and not panic.

489
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:19,760
And she panics, runs out of oxygen,

490
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:20,880
gets stuck in a tunnel, dead.

491
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,500
Like, oh.

492
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:24,320
But yeah, that's the one thing I will,

493
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,000
and I appreciate it's for like,

494
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,280
you know like how when you're watching something

495
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,040
and they go, you know, I'll meet you at lunchtime

496
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,360
or whatever, I'll meet you by the third rock on the left.

497
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:36,120
And then, you know, inevitably, you know,

498
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:38,920
it's not like, oh, even though it's 2023 or 24,

499
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:39,760
wherever we are.

500
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:42,560
Jesus.

501
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,520
You know what I mean?

502
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:45,340
And everyone's got a phone.

503
00:18:45,340 --> 00:18:46,560
No, no, no, I'm not gonna give you my number.

504
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,720
I'm not gonna tell you an actual time or place.

505
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,360
I'll give you this obscure location.

506
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:52,200
And you appreciate that ultimately,

507
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,300
if they did do that, there wouldn't be a film to watch.

508
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:55,460
But it's lazy.

509
00:18:55,460 --> 00:18:58,080
Or Gandalf on the first light of the,

510
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,940
what was it, fifth day or something?

511
00:18:59,940 --> 00:19:01,640
Bro, was that Monday? Wednesday?

512
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,560
When you've blown your nose for a third time.

513
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,160
Saturday afternoon. Exactly.

514
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,000
When?

515
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:06,820
When are you?

516
00:19:06,820 --> 00:19:07,660
Just tell me.

517
00:19:07,660 --> 00:19:10,560
There must be, I know we're in Middle Earth.

518
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,920
I know that there's dragons and there's all sorts of shit.

519
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,000
There's Uruk-hai and there's dwarves and goblins

520
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,760
and all sorts of shit, right?

521
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,040
But we must have facilitated days of the week.

522
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,360
We have to have.

523
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:27,020
There is no way in hell that you've got someone

524
00:19:27,020 --> 00:19:31,840
like Saruman controlling fucking hordes of orcs

525
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,120
cutting down trees that can talk and kill people.

526
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:36,800
And we haven't figured out Monday, Tuesday,

527
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,280
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

528
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,120
There is no way.

529
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:44,000
There's no need for first light on the fifth day

530
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,560
or whatever the fuck it was.

531
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,200
Just tell me what day you're coming, mate.

532
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,440
And I'll be ready.

533
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,720
I'll be at the doors. I'll be waiting.

534
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:51,560
It's ridiculous.

535
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,320
I know exactly what you mean.

536
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,880
Stop walking over your fucking victims.

537
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:57,720
You know what I mean?

538
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,480
Literally five armies, my friend, five.

539
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:01,720
Everyone's battling.

540
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,720
Nephew, dead.

541
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,520
And Fract actually, were they both dead by that point?

542
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,240
I can't remember if-

543
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,840
How did he, didn't he just fall into the water as well?

544
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,400
No, they'd had this big fight.

545
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,620
And then Thorin, I think Thorin gets him,

546
00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:17,820
he falls through or whatever it is and his eyes are shut

547
00:20:17,820 --> 00:20:20,080
and he's like floating away under the water.

548
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,560
And then he's up with a knife and it through Thorin's boots.

549
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,480
Who you are, what you've done, right?

550
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,000
Unless you've lost all of your limbs

551
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,840
and you're bleeding out profusely,

552
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,880
if you fall into water, you're not dead instantly, are you?

553
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,880
I think his eyes are shut when he goes in.

554
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,120
You're gonna have to find the scene

555
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:40,200
because I'm pretty sure he just falls through the ice.

556
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,160
You think he's dead.

557
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,640
And then he's suddenly dead.

558
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,240
Everyone thinks that he's dead.

559
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,920
You think that he's dead.

560
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,420
Because then Thorin's like,

561
00:20:47,420 --> 00:20:48,400
like walking over.

562
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,080
And then boom, his fucking stubby axe, stubby sword.

563
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,120
Yeah, he's had knife.

564
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:54,940
Yeah.

565
00:20:54,940 --> 00:20:55,780
Hang on.

566
00:20:58,120 --> 00:20:59,040
Takes the piss, doesn't it?

567
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,880
Cause you're like, why, why have you gone and.

568
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,400
Because they've been fighting for fucking ages

569
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,240
at this point.

570
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,840
Like this scene is five minutes long.

571
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:07,760
Sorry everybody.

572
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,000
Let's get to the bit where he fucking falls in.

573
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Right, here we go.

574
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,000
Yeah, like it's pretty hardcore.

575
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:18,840
Hang on.

576
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,340
So fucking.

577
00:21:22,340 --> 00:21:24,400
Oh, so he's giving him, he's giving him the rock.

578
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,640
He's throwing a rock at him.

579
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:27,480
Yeah, see?

580
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,800
So he's just, he just falls through the water.

581
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:31,840
That's what I'm saying.

582
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,680
Wait for it.

583
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:34,640
Yeah, he falls through.

584
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,320
He's falling through the water.

585
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,140
Yeah, right.

586
00:21:38,140 --> 00:21:39,480
So he's like sunk down.

587
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,400
I suppose the emphasis is he's got this huge rock

588
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,480
that he wouldn't be able to lift.

589
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,880
So he can't then get out of the water.

590
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:45,860
And then, oh, here we go.

591
00:21:45,860 --> 00:21:47,800
Look, slight time jump.

592
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:48,640
That's probably why.

593
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:49,840
Do you reckon there's a slight time jump?

594
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,040
Yeah, of course there's a little time jump.

595
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:52,880
And then it's him.

596
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,840
Because he's gone from standing up and now he's picking up.

597
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,880
And then it's foreign fucking walking over the ice.

598
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,480
Yeah, because he's now floating back.

599
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,160
There is Azog.

600
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,000
Dead.

601
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,440
But still, if someone who's literally hunted down,

602
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,240
killed most of my family,

603
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,000
and has nearly just killed me, floats back to me,

604
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,080
you'd fuck off, wouldn't you?

605
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:12,920
You wouldn't fucking stand there.

606
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,360
I don't know though, to be fair.

607
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:17,200
Because you'd want to make sure that he's dead.

608
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,560
Right, but stay out the fucking way.

609
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,200
Why are you following me over the ice?

610
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,760
Yeah, there's no need to be that close.

611
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:22,600
No.

612
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:23,440
There's no need.

613
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:24,280
You can be off to the left.

614
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,080
You know, that is danger, danger.

615
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:26,920
You know what I mean?

616
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:27,760
Well, of course it's danger, danger.

617
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,720
Because then sure enough, his eyes are gonna open up.

618
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,040
His eyes are fucking already open.

619
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:31,880
Here you go, there you go.

620
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,180
He's now closed his eyes.

621
00:22:33,180 --> 00:22:34,320
So his eyes were already open.

622
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,160
Now they're closed.

623
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,120
Well, that's even worse.

624
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:36,960
I know.

625
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,040
So he was alive at that point.

626
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,920
And he's literally just, see?

627
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,240
Bang, up through the fucking wall.

628
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,020
That's what I'm saying.

629
00:22:43,020 --> 00:22:44,320
There was no need for it.

630
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,160
It's ridiculous.

631
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,160
And then how he gets the leverage to do that is beyond me.

632
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,160
He's obviously untied himself from the thing.

633
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,920
Very lucky that those swords have them little gaps on.

634
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:55,760
Okay, all right.

635
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:56,600
Yeah, I know.

636
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,840
But then now you've got his fucking arm sword

637
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,120
in your fucking chest.

638
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:02,960
I don't know.

639
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,360
So there'll be another movie.

640
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:05,720
So Lord of the Rings is better than The Hobbit.

641
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,560
Yeah, I'll give you that.

642
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,760
2026.

643
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,880
And I'm very excited for it.

644
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,760
But I've got that where you can actually

645
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,160
have that where you can have excitement,

646
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,640
but not that much excitement

647
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,120
because you haven't seen anything.

648
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:18,960
Do you know what it is?

649
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,160
I'm so disconnected with movies lately

650
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,040
because I feel like Marvel has been...

651
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,080
Someone put it really well.

652
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:25,920
They were like,

653
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,800
once there was a time when a Marvel movie would be announced

654
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,760
and everyone would be like, oh my God,

655
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,600
and it'd be so exciting.

656
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:33,640
Everyone would rush in there.

657
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,600
And now Marvel is synonymous with a joke.

658
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,440
Yeah.

659
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,480
I couldn't give a shit what thing comes out next

660
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,880
as someone who...

661
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,440
It's because Marvel sort of...

662
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,000
Pushed it too far, dragged it out.

663
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:44,840
Chris didn't...

664
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,360
Fucking...

665
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:48,200
What's his face?

666
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,320
And like all the mini series.

667
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,960
Gaze at the place four.

668
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,360
Chris Hemsworth.

669
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:54,280
He even said, yeah, he hates Love and Thunder.

670
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:55,120
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

671
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:57,400
He said his next iteration of four

672
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,040
is gonna be more serious, gritty,

673
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,000
and more of Anne God,

674
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,360
which is how it fucking...

675
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:07,880
Which is exactly how it should be.

676
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,560
Hold tight. Exactly.

677
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,400
Okay, sorry, we're back.

678
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,040
It's just Amazon and you don't wanna hear

679
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,800
the doorbell going ding, ding, ding.

680
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,040
Ding, bong, ding, bong.

681
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,360
But yeah, and that was...

682
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:17,920
It did make a joke of Thor.

683
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:18,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

684
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,560
You know, that's a really embarrassing amount of breath

685
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,720
from going downstairs.

686
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,520
Yeah, because it did turn...

687
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,440
It was shit.

688
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:27,280
And you had...

689
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,960
Too family friendly.

690
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,240
Well, not even that.

691
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,080
Not even that.

692
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:31,920
It's like a kiddie.

693
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,120
You think you've got Christian Bale on board

694
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:37,360
as this like tortured, you know,

695
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:38,600
one of those kind of villains where you're like,

696
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,920
oh, I kind of see his point,

697
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,200
but like this is really bad and whatever.

698
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,080
And then again, spoiler, spoiler,

699
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,880
Jane is fucking dying.

700
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,120
And you know, has this...

701
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:53,080
She kind of becomes like Lady Thor or whatever it is.

702
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,680
And it's just gag after gag that isn't funny.

703
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,960
Nope.

704
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,200
Yeah, it was really odd.

705
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,040
Very, very odd.

706
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:00,880
Yeah, not good.

707
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,360
But that...

708
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:04,480
Yeah, I see what you mean.

709
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,360
You sort of do lose that disconnect with movie.

710
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:09,880
Or almost like there's just been too many franchises

711
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,400
now that have just gone on too long.

712
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,200
And I feel like Lord of the Rings currently has that status.

713
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,920
I mean, aside from the Gollum game,

714
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,920
which I feel like is really embarrassing,

715
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,040
because it has taken something

716
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,720
that's such an iconic character.

717
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:23,560
And just fucked it.

718
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,640
And marred it with a bit of shit.

719
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,000
Why in the fuck with a Gollum game,

720
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,680
you wouldn't try and get hold of Andy Serkis to...

721
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,600
I don't think he could have saved it.

722
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:37,760
I don't think he could have saved it,

723
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,280
but fuck me.

724
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,360
Like the geezer lives and breathes Gollum.

725
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:43,200
You know what I mean?

726
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,160
He's all for it.

727
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,160
He loves that shit.

728
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,360
But it's almost like that, you know, it's...

729
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:50,960
If you imagine Gameloft taking on Dreamlike Valley,

730
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,960
you know, you've taken something huge.

731
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,680
And there's that fine line between building

732
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,800
on what is already an empire and a cash grab.

733
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,720
Like, oh, well, how can we make a game successful?

734
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:03,680
I know.

735
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,960
Pick something iconic and just base it around that.

736
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,040
And I feel like what they've done there

737
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,360
by going with Gollum, thinking, yes, okay,

738
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:12,200
there's an element of a guaranteed audience

739
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,360
who are gonna see, oh, Lord of the Rings based game.

740
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:15,880
Like I'm on board.

741
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,560
But you still have to back that up with actual quality.

742
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,320
I feel like the Lord of the Rings franchise,

743
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:28,320
they done right of three movies, finish it on three movies.

744
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,280
A lot of times past, let's have prequels to those movies,

745
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,120
another three movies.

746
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:35,160
Oh, it's the book, isn't it?

747
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,160
Yeah, exactly.

748
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,800
So, and then for a long, long period, leave it there.

749
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,520
And obviously, because it's such a lore rich universe

750
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:49,520
and they're so, because the hunt for Gollum

751
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:55,120
is going to be not taken from,

752
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,000
basically they've got the rights.

753
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,760
Looking for a good Gollum, like a game is actually decent.

754
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:00,600
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

755
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:01,440
Hunting for Gollum.

756
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,320
No, they've got the rights to J.R. Tolkien's works.

757
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,520
Yeah, it's not like they're just creating their own thing.

758
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,600
They've got access to everything they need.

759
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,600
So that fills you with a level of confidence.

760
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,040
And the fact that it's most of the original people

761
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,560
that were on Lord of the Rings producer-wise

762
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,760
and creator-wise.

763
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,840
So it's like, okay, cool.

764
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,920
We've got like the building blocks that they had

765
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,280
when it was Lord of the Rings

766
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,440
to make something fucking fantastic.

767
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,520
So like I'm all for it.

768
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,520
But the Gollum game was just a fucking tragedy.

769
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:39,680
Yeah.

770
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,200
It's a catastrophe.

771
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,800
Fucking absolutely awful.

772
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,800
And that kind of overdoing the franchise,

773
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:53,680
like we just said, with Assassin's Creed,

774
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,520
Far Cry's definitely overdone their fucking franchise.

775
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,720
They've done far too many of them now.

776
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,120
Leave that.

777
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:00,940
Leave that alone.

778
00:28:00,940 --> 00:28:01,880
It doesn't need to be touched.

779
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,360
Assassin's Creed is teetering on the edge of,

780
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:09,360
and I genuinely feel it depends on how red comes out

781
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,000
as to whether they need to just stop it or continue.

782
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:19,000
A game or studio that has done exceedingly well

783
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,920
and has chosen the option to leave it there

784
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,560
and pursue other things is Larian Studios.

785
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,400
Yep.

786
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,720
By not continuing Baldur's Gate.

787
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:30,560
Yeah.

788
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,880
Which I feel as a studio is a very,

789
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,800
an indie studio, mind you, a big one,

790
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,600
but still technically indie,

791
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,320
is a very admirable thing to put your heart and soul

792
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,800
and years of work into something as big as Baldur's Gate III

793
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,000
and as popular as it was.

794
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,320
And to see the earning potential of doing more

795
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,440
and turn around and go, nope, we cannot top that.

796
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,880
We don't want to put the effort in to try and top that.

797
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,200
So we're not going to.

798
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,720
Someone else wants to take it, which they are,

799
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,760
then by all means,

800
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,480
but I feel like Larian's done the right thing and gone,

801
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,480
we're gonna go back to doing what we were doing before,

802
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,920
which I feel like is such a like, I'm him fucking move

803
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,640
where they've like come into the scene and gone,

804
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:18,760
here's Baldur's Gate III.

805
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,760
This is the best game that you will ever play in your life.

806
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,160
We're not doing it again, see you later.

807
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,000
Yeah.

808
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:24,840
And it's very brave.

809
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:25,680
This is crazy.

810
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,840
It's so hard to time that, to work out like,

811
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,360
how you're gonna actually facilitate that

812
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,280
in the sense that like say, I mean, talking from,

813
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,680
you know me, you know it's gonna be something Nintendo,

814
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,360
but also happy one year to Legend of Zelda,

815
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,200
Tears of the Kingdom.

816
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,040
Is it today, is it?

817
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:45,860
Happy birthday.

818
00:29:45,860 --> 00:29:46,700
Oh, lovely.

819
00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:48,200
Haven't completed it though, have you?

820
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,040
No.

821
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:49,860
No.

822
00:29:49,860 --> 00:29:50,700
Get off my back.

823
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:51,540
Maybe on 10 years.

824
00:29:51,540 --> 00:29:52,380
Yeah, maybe.

825
00:29:52,380 --> 00:29:53,560
But take like Animal Crossing.

826
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,320
So that's a franchise that everyone waited years

827
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,160
and years and years.

828
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,720
You know, it was, what was that?

829
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,800
Three years after the Switch came out, nearly four.

830
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,680
Actually no, tell a lie, I think it was three.

831
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,240
Anyway, yeah.

832
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,000
And then to then release, you know,

833
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,440
I think they did obviously ignore him little patches.

834
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,000
It was two big updates and then they were like,

835
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,440
and that my friends is it.

836
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,160
And everyone's going, what?

837
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,640
Like because, and yes, okay, they had the DLC,

838
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,280
which was ultimately a similar but different version

839
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:28,800
of what they did with New Leaf.

840
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,000
But what gets me about that, on the one hand, I get it.

841
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,800
They're very busy and whatever,

842
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,200
and maybe they're, you know, creating something else,

843
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,560
but it's like to have waited so long

844
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,000
and then like even something as simple as,

845
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,520
you get a blue notch at New Year's, right?

846
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,520
I've got a 2021 blue notch and I've got a 2022 blue notch

847
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,200
and then that's it.

848
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,560
You don't even get that.

849
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,760
Is it that hard?

850
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,800
Could you not employ like four people

851
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,200
to just crack me out?

852
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,480
A couple of new Easter gifts,

853
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,760
a couple of new Christmas gifts and a blue notch.

854
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,240
And they drop it, they drop it, man.

855
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:02,080
You know what I mean?

856
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,800
It's like, and so because then

857
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,720
they have killed their own game.

858
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,160
You've got a real time game.

859
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,320
So things, as I say,

860
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,960
they have multiple events throughout the year.

861
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,080
Yeah, once you've done them once, there's no point.

862
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,440
Yeah, but they still happen every year.

863
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,760
So I still can't fucking play the game on Halloween

864
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,720
because everyone's coming up to me asking for fucking candy

865
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:19,640
or whatever it is,

866
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,520
but I'm not gonna get any new stuff for that.

867
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,560
So what that equates is,

868
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,440
well, I'm just not gonna fucking play it.

869
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,720
And I think, yeah, like, so that's an example of where,

870
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,160
again, they've made that decision.

871
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,520
They're obviously looking at that and thinking,

872
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,920
well, yeah, we don't need to carry this on.

873
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,520
But when you're on the other side,

874
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:39,760
when you're on the side of it that doesn't want that

875
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,680
to happen, it's in the sense of like,

876
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,000
I'm kind of unaffected that Larry has stopped,

877
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,320
you know, like, it's cool and I get it.

878
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,520
I know a lot of people will be sad.

879
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,440
But you've got what you wanted out of it.

880
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,720
But it's a fucking impossible situation to navigate,

881
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,120
like who are you gonna piss off

882
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,160
and who's not gonna mind and, you know, oh, I do.

883
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,080
I don't envy people at the top to be fair

884
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,160
because all you do get is shit.

885
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,480
Because what you seem to have is,

886
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,720
it's predominantly the games that aren't good

887
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,560
or the franchises that just seem to fucking continue

888
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,840
going on and on and on and on and on,

889
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,760
where they like had a couple of decent hitters

890
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,880
and then just fucking just rinse it.

891
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:25,720
Like what?

892
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,120
Well, Assassin's Creed does it.

893
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,080
Yeah, but what, so when you say they're not good.

894
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:33,920
I say they're not good for me.

895
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,560
They're not good just because you don't like them.

896
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,880
No, I know, I know.

897
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,840
But you have a greed there.

898
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,280
They're big games.

899
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,920
They have been big games.

900
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,320
Valhalla has been a big game.

901
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,160
Odyssey was a big game.

902
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,120
Valhalla was a big game of fuck all,

903
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:47,960
is what Valhalla was.

904
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:48,800
A very, very large game.

905
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,640
A big game of doing nothing.

906
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,280
A very, very large game of empty mountains.

907
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,120
But ultimately, we cannot discount

908
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,400
that they have been big games.

909
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,240
Agreed.

910
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,720
So they aren't looking at it like that.

911
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,040
They're not sat in an office going, this game is shit.

912
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,040
You can't, you can't.

913
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,400
They think that it's a good game.

914
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,840
Millions of people think that it's a good game.

915
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,600
You can't win, ultimately, because it's,

916
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,960
don't over rinse it, but then, because we'll complain.

917
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,040
But then, when you have a very, very, very good game,

918
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,880
when you stop it, we're gonna complain.

919
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,720
Elden Ring, from software, fucking.

920
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,480
Did they actually bring out DLC for that?

921
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,320
That's coming, that's coming out.

922
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,800
Shadow of the Earth tree, right?

923
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,360
That's this year.

924
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,440
And they've said that is the only DLC they are doing for it.

925
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,280
That is it.

926
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,560
You get Shadow of the Earth tree, and that is it.

927
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:43,160
So, which, Elden Ring is,

928
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,400
quite possibly one of the best games that I have ever played.

929
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:52,080
And it's a very, very difficult game to be topped.

930
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:57,080
And this DLC, from when I first started playing Elden Ring,

931
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,200
and Ash told me, he was like,

932
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,800
from software, do not rush their DLCs.

933
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,080
He was like, they create some of the best DLCs in the world,

934
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,880
but they take their sweet ass time with it,

935
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,520
which is exactly what they've done

936
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,240
with Shadow of the Earth tree.

937
00:34:12,240 --> 00:34:14,280
So I have absolutely no doubt that this DLC

938
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,400
will be fucking fantastic, and it's massive as well.

939
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,960
And I'm kinda like, I'll be happy that that's it.

940
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,800
Yeah, I know what you mean.

941
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,120
I'll keep it good, keep it really good,

942
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,840
and then just leave it.

943
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,840
Because I find it more satisfying that way.

944
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,880
But it is that rock and a hard place

945
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,640
where if you love a game so much, you want it to continue.

946
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,680
Fucking wow, how many expansions have come out

947
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,360
and people are like, this game's gonna die soon.

948
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:45,600
No, they're still plodding along.

949
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,280
The fucking next three expansions have been announced, three.

950
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,000
The Dragon Soul Saga, or whatever it's fucking called,

951
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,640
three expansions, but they're gonna be slightly shorter

952
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,320
than the normal ones.

953
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,880
And it's like, so they've got no intention

954
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,400
of stopping anytime soon.

955
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:05,960
And I love that, but at the same time,

956
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,440
it was like, you start to see cracks in different places,

957
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,040
but it's like, fucking hell, we're patching over it.

958
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,160
So yeah, it's an interesting one.

959
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,520
Shadow of the Earth Tree is gonna be fucking cool.

960
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,440
They brought out a,

961
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:23,480
remember Melania?

962
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:24,640
Well, she's on the fucking thing

963
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,800
and she's got that prosthetic arm.

964
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,680
They brought out a, to scale, replica of her arm.

965
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,720
I think it was like, what was it, like 600-something quid?

966
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:38,680
Something ridiculous like that.

967
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,640
And it was just like this bust of her fucking arm.

968
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,280
And then a while ago, they brought out a bust of her head.

969
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,680
Reddit thread was like, something like,

970
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,880
one of the first things I saw was like, Melania's feet?

971
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,120
Just question mark.

972
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,200
And then someone was like, soon enough,

973
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,360
I'll be able to put all the pieces together

974
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:02,200
and have a life.

975
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,120
So it was very funny, very funny.

976
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,840
But what else have I got on my little list?

977
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,560
Lots of stuff to be fair.

978
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,600
You've got, I don't really wanna talk about it

979
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:13,800
because it can't be asked,

980
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,880
but Starfield's got an update coming May 15th

981
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,520
and then it's got DLC coming in September.

982
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,240
Sort of like a resurgence for Starfield.

983
00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:25,840
Not a game that I actually enjoyed.

984
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,040
A game that many people didn't really enjoy.

985
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:35,040
Seems like Xbox is trying to make that their flag.

986
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,840
This is our number one.

987
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,880
So they obviously haven't let it die,

988
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:40,720
which is fair enough

989
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:42,520
because they did a shit load of marketing on it

990
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,720
to get it out.

991
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,080
And what I've just wrote down here is that

992
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,280
they've done a lot of quality of life improvements

993
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,080
in terms of like with the map,

994
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,000
there's now markers for locations and so on.

995
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,320
So you can actually see what it is,

996
00:36:58,320 --> 00:36:59,280
the fuck that you're looking at,

997
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,720
because for some reason they never had them before.

998
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:05,160
And then when you're actually playing the game

999
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,840
and not in the map, you can press a button

1000
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:12,840
which will pop up all of the things on the map

1001
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,440
in your peripheral.

1002
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,640
So like if there's a vendor,

1003
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,720
you can see that they're 200 meters away,

1004
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:20,480
we'll buy an icon and things like that.

1005
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,480
Just like make life a little bit easier.

1006
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,440
But other than that, I haven't looked into that much

1007
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,040
because I just didn't.

1008
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,000
Did you play the Cyberpunk update?

1009
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,320
Well, the DLC?

1010
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,040
Yeah, I still didn't finish it.

1011
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:34,880
Why?

1012
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:35,720
I don't know.

1013
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:37,840
You're a menace.

1014
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,240
Mark says I'm very fickle with games.

1015
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:44,480
He's like, you do not finish games.

1016
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:45,320
I know.

1017
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,320
Ladies and gentlemen, if there's a game

1018
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,280
that I am absolutely glued to and finish it,

1019
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,240
that's how you know it was a good game.

1020
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:56,400
Because if it's fucking held me,

1021
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,280
then fair enough.

1022
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,680
In Shrouded, me and Connor playing in Shrouded.

1023
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,320
Yeah, ring some bells.

1024
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,280
That's fucking survival that we bought.

1025
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,640
We're seeing early access.

1026
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,440
Oh, well that log cabin thing that you had.

1027
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:10,280
Yeah, and we played it to a point.

1028
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,360
Oh, and you can't go in the dust.

1029
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:13,800
Yeah, and we played it to a point

1030
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,320
where you can't physically, we've done everything.

1031
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,160
There's been updates since, but we'd stopped playing

1032
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,840
because we had literally done everything.

1033
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,080
I think I put in like 50 or 58 hours

1034
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,680
or something like that in the span of like a week.

1035
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,080
Absolutely ridiculous.

1036
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,560
Because I was telling Connor about it

1037
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,840
on one of the last episodes,

1038
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,520
and I was like, we didn't book any holiday for that either.

1039
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,960
That was literally like working full time

1040
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,400
and then coming home and sinking the hours in

1041
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:42,760
and at the end of the week,

1042
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,800
there was a full fucking almost 60 hours worth of game play.

1043
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,840
I was like, that's ridiculous.

1044
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,640
But yeah, so skirt over that.

1045
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:57,640
The one PlayStation showcase at the end of this month,

1046
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,600
apparently possibly 22nd, maybe 29th.

1047
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:06,600
So normally get to see some cool shit.

1048
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:09,560
I don't really know what is coming

1049
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,280
from PlayStation to be fair.

1050
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:12,120
Well, that would be telling you on that day.

1051
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,400
One thing I do know that is coming from PlayStation

1052
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,640
is, which I didn't actually know was a thing,

1053
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,040
the Horizon Zero Dawn remake,

1054
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,440
which is off the back of, they're doing a Netflix show on it,

1055
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,000
which I feel like I caught wind of ages ago.

1056
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,240
What is that game like, six years old?

1057
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:30,080
It would come out in 2017.

1058
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:30,920
Yeah, so seven.

1059
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,040
Horizon Zero Dawn.

1060
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,280
If you do a side by side from Zero Dawn

1061
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,520
and Forbidden West, obviously graphically,

1062
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:39,480
there is a difference.

1063
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,240
Because Zero Dawn was very good to look at anyway.

1064
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:44,480
And Forbidden West was fucking-

1065
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,320
Not that you finished it.

1066
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:46,640
Really good, yeah, I didn't finish it.

1067
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,000
Again, boring ass fucking story.

1068
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,800
Boring story, boring characters,

1069
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,720
and most people share the same thoughts.

1070
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,200
And-

1071
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,360
Did you play the, has there been a God of War DLC?

1072
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,120
Haven't played that either.

1073
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,240
Did you?

1074
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:04,600
You're out, well.

1075
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:05,440
Haven't played that either.

1076
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,640
And apparently that's got a lot of lore in it

1077
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,720
that is very, I'm just gonna watch a video on it

1078
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:12,260
because I can't be bothered.

1079
00:40:12,260 --> 00:40:13,100
Racelink.

1080
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:14,240
I can't be bothered.

1081
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:15,640
I might do, I don't know.

1082
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:16,760
You won't, we all know you won't.

1083
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,520
I probably won't.

1084
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,480
I've affirmed my love for the game anyway,

1085
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,200
you know what I mean, like,

1086
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,000
it was a free DLC though, very cool.

1087
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:24,840
Very happy that it was free.

1088
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:25,880
Maybe have a look.

1089
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,120
I might have a look.

1090
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:27,960
I won't.

1091
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,120
He will not have a look.

1092
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:30,440
I won't.

1093
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,300
But I wanna Google about the,

1094
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:37,080
About the what?

1095
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:42,080
About, because I didn't know that Horizon Zero Dawn.

1096
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,600
I'll cover up your Dead Space with,

1097
00:40:45,860 --> 00:40:49,460
I'm very excited about the new Professor Layton.

1098
00:40:49,460 --> 00:40:54,460
Everybody, get ready, get your little puzzle heads going.

1099
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:56,880
I hope it's not shit.

1100
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,400
Cause the one, there's like a Katerina one

1101
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,200
that has been in the interim

1102
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,200
and it just doesn't cut the muscle in the same way.

1103
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,920
So everyone get ready for Professor Layton on Switch

1104
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:06,760
cause it's gonna bang.

1105
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,040
Is it only coming on Switch?

1106
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:08,880
Oh, it isn't, yeah.

1107
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,700
Is it just Switch exclusive?

1108
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:14,040
No, Professor Layton's only on Nintendo I think.

1109
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,360
So it's exclusively.

1110
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,360
Who makes it, Player Five or something like that?

1111
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,200
I think Five.

1112
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,600
So, so, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

1113
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,120
the cinematic and, right.

1114
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,120
Well, can you just, a live action Horizon series

1115
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,820
is in development at Netflix.

1116
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,720
It says there is no release date for the Netflix series yet.

1117
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:36,800
It will likely not come out until at least 2026

1118
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,480
as it hasn't started filming.

1119
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,640
But at the tech event, 2024,

1120
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:46,160
Sony said that writing on the series has begun on May 26th.

1121
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,860
Sony confirmed that a Horizon show was being developed.

1122
00:41:49,860 --> 00:41:53,920
The working title could be Horizon 2074

1123
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,680
according to Giant Bombs' Jeff Grubb.

1124
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:57,520
Level five, that's what it makes it.

1125
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,080
But he said that's just a rumour for now though.

1126
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:03,200
But even then, does that not sort of smack off,

1127
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,480
oh, The Last of Us did really well.

1128
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,320
What other game can we make into a fucking live action series?

1129
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,000
That is exactly what it is.

1130
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,120
Details are likely to change,

1131
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,440
but some believe that it could be Horizon 2064

1132
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,440
instead of November, instead,

1133
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,760
because November 1st, 2064 is a significant date

1134
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,400
in the game's narrative.

1135
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,080
And that, exactly what you just said,

1136
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,120
leads perfectly into the other tidbit of information

1137
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,000
I've got which I already spoke to you about

1138
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,000
in that Horizon Zero Dawn was taken off of the PlayStation

1139
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,080
plus premium fucking thing

1140
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,280
where you get access to a catalogue of games.

1141
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,000
Which is what they did with Spider-Man

1142
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,440
when Spider-Man 2 was announced,

1143
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,760
they removed it a week beforehand

1144
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,040
so that when the drive was built up for,

1145
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,120
oh, new Spider-Man, that gets me really excited

1146
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,360
to fucking play Spider-Man again.

1147
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,520
People would have to buy the game again

1148
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:55,920
if they didn't already own it.

1149
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,120
And that's gonna be the same scenario with Horizon

1150
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,120
in that when the series comes out

1151
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,840
or when they're, when, I'm gonna assume

1152
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,120
that when the showcase is at the end of the month,

1153
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,240
they'll be talking about that.

1154
00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:13,840
And then all of a sudden, oh, wow,

1155
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,640
there's a fucking Horizon series coming out.

1156
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,480
Let's play Zero Dawn again.

1157
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:18,560
Nope.

1158
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,480
But that is also why they're doing a remake.

1159
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,480
Because you think if you're doing a Horizon Zero Dawn remake

1160
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,880
but you've already got Horizon Zero Dawn on the catalogue,

1161
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:32,720
well-

1162
00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:33,560
Oh yeah, no one's gonna want it.

1163
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,920
No one's gonna want it, to a point.

1164
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,320
But there's also the speculation of will they do the same

1165
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,440
as what they did with The Last of Us

1166
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,040
where it's 10 quid and then you can upgrade

1167
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:42,640
if you've already got Zero Dawn.

1168
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:44,760
We'll have to see.

1169
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,160
It's a, again, it's a remake that-

1170
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:49,560
Remake, remaster.

1171
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:50,400
Remake.

1172
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:52,440
Why?

1173
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:53,280
Why?

1174
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,000
Why? I don't know why.

1175
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:55,840
I don't know why.

1176
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,480
Let the series come out.

1177
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,080
Live action series sounds like it could be pretty cool.

1178
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,760
But you don't need to remake that.

1179
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,120
I don't see the point.

1180
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:10,480
This weird, weird from Sony.

1181
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:11,560
Makes me feel old.

1182
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,400
Yeah, I don't understand it.

1183
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:14,240
Yeah.

1184
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:17,400
But now, we have the juicy one.

1185
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,440
We have the juicy, juicy, juicy one.

1186
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,360
So again, we've already briefed you on it.

1187
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,920
So, Assassin's Creed Mirrors,

1188
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,280
a topic that we haven't touched on for a while.

1189
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:30,560
We literally was talking about it.

1190
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:31,720
I know. Oh, sorry.

1191
00:44:31,720 --> 00:44:32,560
It's the sarcasm.

1192
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:33,400
I know, oh.

1193
00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:37,320
I never know with you because you literally-

1194
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,200
I have it on here in my notes.

1195
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,280
Assassin's Creed Mirrors release June 6th

1196
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,840
for iPhone 15 Pro,

1197
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:50,440
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad Air, iPad Pro,

1198
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:55,280
and all iPhone stuff with an M1 chip or later.

1199
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,120
This game-

1200
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,360
I might have an M1 chip on my Mac, you know?

1201
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,680
It will have touch controls, cross save,

1202
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:00,680
and cross progression.

1203
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,400
It will be free for the first 90 minutes of the game,

1204
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:07,040
and then it will be 50 pounds after.

1205
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,160
Assassin's Creed Mirrors is coming to the iPhone

1206
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:16,160
because the iPhone 15 Pro is one of the most powerful

1207
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,200
and lightweight phones released by Apple

1208
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,800
with a focus on next level mobile gaming.

1209
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,040
So the company that you never thought

1210
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,680
would try and delve into gaming,

1211
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,480
well, to be fair, they tried very hard

1212
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,120
and failed very miserably.

1213
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:32,280
Who?

1214
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:33,120
Apple.

1215
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,040
You don't game on Apple.

1216
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:37,280
No one games on Apple.

1217
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,120
My first Assassin's Creed game was the Altaïr Chronicles

1218
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,280
or whatever it was on iPod Touch.

1219
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,400
You don't game on Apple.

1220
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,240
They tried to break into that scene

1221
00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:51,640
by creating their own CPU and stuff like that.

1222
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,520
Again, I'm sorry.

1223
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:54,560
I'm sorry to anyone listening

1224
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,320
who's probably gonna disagree with me,

1225
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,040
but you hate on Apple.

1226
00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:58,880
No, no, this isn't-

1227
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,520
And that clouds your judgment.

1228
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:01,360
No, this isn't-

1229
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:02,520
There are people who play-

1230
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,720
No, this isn't a clouded judgment thing.

1231
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:05,560
This is a simply-

1232
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:06,400
Yes, I appreciate it.

1233
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:07,240
It's not at the top.

1234
00:46:07,240 --> 00:46:09,280
It's not a front runner,

1235
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,800
but it's not completely absent from gaming.

1236
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,240
It's nowhere near the front.

1237
00:46:13,240 --> 00:46:14,080
It's nowhere near the front.

1238
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:15,280
I just said it's not a front runner.

1239
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:16,120
Good, because it's not-

1240
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:16,960
Do you wanna fight?

1241
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:17,920
Is this what this is gonna turn into?

1242
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:18,760
No.

1243
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,880
So, however, mobile gaming has obviously been quite a,

1244
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,120
not a niche aspect of gaming because it is quite large.

1245
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:28,960
Like the-

1246
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:29,780
It's getting bigger.

1247
00:46:29,780 --> 00:46:34,320
The PUBG mobile fucking tournament is fucking huge.

1248
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:35,360
And Fortnite on the iPad.

1249
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:36,200
And Fortnite, yeah.

1250
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:37,020
And that's the thing,

1251
00:46:37,020 --> 00:46:38,120
Fortnite came out at the same time.

1252
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:39,840
Yeah, Minecraft and things like that.

1253
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:40,920
Yeah, yeah.

1254
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,280
So it's Roblox.

1255
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:50,600
But in the mobile gaming phone world-

1256
00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:53,600
If you're also about to say that Apple is behind,

1257
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,200
I will have to choke you out, I'm afraid.

1258
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,840
No, but for a long time it was.

1259
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:58,920
You're not listening to me.

1260
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,240
For a long time it was,

1261
00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:03,600
because you had things like the Lenovo Legion,

1262
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,480
the Razer phone, the Asus ROG.

1263
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:06,320
No, no, no, no, no.

1264
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:07,160
They are the minorities.

1265
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:08,000
No, no, no, no, no, no.

1266
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:08,820
You're not listening.

1267
00:47:08,820 --> 00:47:09,660
You're not listening.

1268
00:47:09,660 --> 00:47:10,480
Let me get the point out.

1269
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,000
A very powerful phone that nobody owns.

1270
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:12,920
Yes.

1271
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,860
Let me get the point out.

1272
00:47:14,860 --> 00:47:17,760
With mobile gaming,

1273
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,340
in order to play a lot of these types of games,

1274
00:47:20,340 --> 00:47:24,520
you would require a phone like the Asus ROG, right?

1275
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,480
But all they are is specialized for gaming.

1276
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:28,680
So in the real world,

1277
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,720
with things like the camera and actual user interface

1278
00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:32,620
and things like that,

1279
00:47:32,620 --> 00:47:36,000
they don't stand up to the likes of an iPhone or a Samsung.

1280
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,840
Get the fucking look off of your face.

1281
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:38,680
I'm listening to you.

1282
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,400
Yeah, but you're listening to me

1283
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,240
like you're gonna fucking be angry

1284
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:43,880
about what I'm saying. No, it's just my face.

1285
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,300
Right, so you can't,

1286
00:47:46,180 --> 00:47:47,560
it might have changed slightly now,

1287
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,160
but, oh no, it hasn't.

1288
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:55,160
Those mobile devices were specifically designed for gaming

1289
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:56,880
and that was about it.

1290
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,040
It was a gimmick, is what they were.

1291
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:00,760
No, they weren't a gimmick.

1292
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:01,600
They were.

1293
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:02,420
I think they were a-

1294
00:48:02,420 --> 00:48:03,260
Well, no.

1295
00:48:03,260 --> 00:48:04,600
And they did for gaming.

1296
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,720
I think they were a nice gateway

1297
00:48:08,720 --> 00:48:13,720
into that scene of companies like Samsung and Apple

1298
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,320
looking at their phones

1299
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:20,360
and thinking that they could break into the gaming space

1300
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:21,720
with their phones.

1301
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:25,480
Because obviously they don't have consoles,

1302
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,560
but phones were getting more and more powerful

1303
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,560
and gaming is obviously an avenue

1304
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,040
where there's so much money involved.

1305
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,800
It would be silly not to look down that sort of pathway.

1306
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:35,960
Yeah. Right?

1307
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,740
So what I'm saying is with the iPhone 15,

1308
00:48:39,740 --> 00:48:42,480
extremely powerful, very, very, very good for gaming

1309
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,600
to the point where when you look up lists

1310
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,280
of what are the best phones for gaming specifically,

1311
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,280
iPhone 15 is always at the top.

1312
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:51,480
But I would-

1313
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,360
Stop sucking the fucking cock of Apple.

1314
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,160
I'm not. All right, you are.

1315
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,240
You don't even know what I was about to say.

1316
00:48:58,240 --> 00:48:59,080
Yeah, but just your face.

1317
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:00,800
I know what's gonna come.

1318
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,120
You're gonna, we're not arguing here.

1319
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,080
I was actually gonna say,

1320
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,760
I would, how about you get the look off your face.

1321
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,000
You've been doing it.

1322
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,640
Yeah, but I would argue that Android and iOS

1323
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,760
have led mobile gaming because

1324
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,080
the predominant place where you would,

1325
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,140
like in the sense of on average,

1326
00:49:23,140 --> 00:49:27,240
the average consumer will have games on their phone.

1327
00:49:28,100 --> 00:49:30,640
And actually I would argue that the percentage

1328
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,520
of people who are having a Lenovo Legion

1329
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,920
or a Razer phone that you really wanted

1330
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:37,320
because it had a light up back.

1331
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:38,160
Really wanted it.

1332
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:38,980
I know.

1333
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,960
It is the minority and actually that

1334
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,140
they have facilitated that.

1335
00:49:45,140 --> 00:49:46,880
And I would argue that Apple has been,

1336
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,620
how many things do you and I come across

1337
00:49:49,620 --> 00:49:52,220
that I can play and you can't or I can do and you can't

1338
00:49:52,220 --> 00:49:54,000
because the developers themselves

1339
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,960
have focused all of their money on an iOS application

1340
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,680
and not an Android application because ultimately

1341
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:06,680
they have made themselves the leaders of that.

1342
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,760
That's not me being up Apple's ass.

1343
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,160
And they're not, I don't mean it in the sense that

1344
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,400
they're the best phone for gaming or anything like that.

1345
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,640
But I do think that if I was an app developer

1346
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,640
or like you can see app developers,

1347
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:23,480
there's a clear line.

1348
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:24,800
If Apple's got the monopoly, then yeah.

1349
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,880
Where they are heading for that.

1350
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:31,040
And there is a, I have probably,

1351
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,640
it's probably only just starting to overtake

1352
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,480
the amount of years I've used Apple over Android.

1353
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,400
I used Android until I was maybe like 20, 21, no 20

1354
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:41,240
or something like that.

1355
00:50:41,240 --> 00:50:46,240
So, and it is far more comprehensive of a system.

1356
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,760
It's, it's a, my world gaming is obviously a space

1357
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:55,040
that we haven't interacted with.

1358
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,000
How have you not, I have a very successful island

1359
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,440
on Farmville, Tropic Island.

1360
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:00,880
Tropic Guild.

1361
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,560
But I'm talking like, like actual games,

1362
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:05,720
actual games that you could.

1363
00:51:05,720 --> 00:51:06,560
But then.

1364
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,640
No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not talking about

1365
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,800
little farty fucking applications that are free

1366
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:12,760
or cost you a quid.

1367
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,080
I'm talking about games, actual games that you could

1368
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,360
play on that, games that you can play on any of them

1369
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,200
consoles and then games that you can play on your phone

1370
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:21,040
that are all the same.

1371
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,080
I'm not talking about fucking Doodle Jump.

1372
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,120
Neither am I, I'm just taking the piss.

1373
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,720
No, but I'm, proper games.

1374
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:29,320
Proper games, that's not fair to say though

1375
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:30,960
because it is a genre of gaming.

1376
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:32,800
No, I know it's a genre, but you know what I'm saying?

1377
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,640
Yeah, but Apple Arcade contains games like that.

1378
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,200
So you're telling me like PUBG, Fortnite,

1379
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:38,200
not that they're in Apple Arcade,

1380
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,760
but those games are those games.

1381
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,520
Fortnite is one of those games.

1382
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,400
Yes, yes, yes, Farmville isn't.

1383
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,800
No, I was taking the piss.

1384
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,640
I was joking, oh my God, I can't.

1385
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,280
Professor Layton isn't, right?

1386
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:52,400
Is that the time?

1387
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,360
I believe you said 25 minutes, look at that.

1388
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:55,320
No, no, no, we're not done.

1389
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:56,160
We're not done, we're done.

1390
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,000
Oh, we're done.

1391
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:02,800
I would imagine that now Apple is owning that space

1392
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,440
and what I'm trying to fucking get the point across is

1393
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,720
we've, because I only found out today

1394
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:14,000
that Assassin's Creed Mirage was coming to iPhone

1395
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,800
which sounds very, very cool

1396
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,120
and I'm very interested in how that would actually play out

1397
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,520
because obviously it's all touch screen and things like that.

1398
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:25,240
So I Googled, is anything else coming?

1399
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:27,520
And here is the list.

1400
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,080
It already offers a range of demanding

1401
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,200
and popular video games thanks to its one terabyte storage

1402
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:35,960
and high performance CPU.

1403
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,280
Upcoming games like Death Stranding,

1404
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,080
Director's Cut, The Division Resurgence,

1405
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,560
Assassin's Creed Mirage, and Resident Evil 4

1406
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,600
will showcase the iPhone's capability in mobile gaming.

1407
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:54,240
Those are some fucking decent games to throw on

1408
00:52:55,160 --> 00:53:00,160
because we've always said where's gaming going

1409
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:05,360
and I feel so stupid that mobile phones,

1410
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,880
we've spoke about it multiple times

1411
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,440
but never really taken it too seriously

1412
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:15,440
but now the technology to run these games

1413
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:17,920
and the things that you require

1414
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,360
obviously getting far better and getting far smaller.

1415
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,800
So you're able to put them in different things.

1416
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,760
The idea that you could play Mirage

1417
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:31,760
or fucking Death Stranding or Resident Evil on your iPhone,

1418
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:37,360
like that's so exciting to a point

1419
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,760
because it's like, yeah, it's lovely having a Switch,

1420
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:44,760
a Steam Deck, a ROG, but at the end of the day, they are big.

1421
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,280
I know the Switch is a bit smaller

1422
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,960
but still you can take that wherever you want

1423
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:51,760
and play it whenever you want

1424
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,320
but it's not as easy as just pulling this thing

1425
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,800
out your fucking pocket and going, oh, here's whatever.

1426
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,360
We spent all of our teenage years,

1427
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,000
well, I don't know if you, I think you did,

1428
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,840
like you would have your phone and you would have your iPod

1429
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,040
until they became the same thing.

1430
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,040
Yeah, which I, yeah, fucking hell,

1431
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:07,880
you guys have them separate.

1432
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:08,720
I would always walk around with two.

1433
00:54:08,720 --> 00:54:10,080
Yeah. Always.

1434
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:11,760
Yeah, so would I for a long time.

1435
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,160
Yeah, because you had two, didn't have a choice.

1436
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:15,640
Your phone didn't have the storage.

1437
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,960
Yeah, I'd put my phone in my bag

1438
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,000
and then have my iPod in my pocket

1439
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,080
because I'd be listening to music constantly.

1440
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,120
Yeah, my phone was basically just a hotspot for my iPod

1441
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:26,880
because I had my iPod, I had, again,

1442
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,720
because I had Android and Snapchat wasn't on there yet

1443
00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:34,600
but you could get Snapchat on the iPod touch.

1444
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,320
So I had like Snapchat and all those things

1445
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,520
and there was like the dots game and stuff like that.

1446
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,520
Sorry, the dots app, not real game.

1447
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:45,520
And yeah, because it is, again, and that's,

1448
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,560
I don't know, I've kind of lost what I was saying but.

1449
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:56,560
Sorry, I'm reading up on the article about it.

1450
00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:00,400
It says the A17 Pro chip and the iPhone 15 Pro

1451
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,200
makes it a powerful handheld device,

1452
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,000
redefining the expectations of what mobile devices

1453
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,120
are capable of within the gaming industry.

1454
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:11,320
The phone is able to run expansive and highly detailed

1455
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,840
releases with Death Stranding Director's Cup

1456
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,840
being on the current roster of upcoming 15 Pro games.

1457
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,880
Death Stranding was a blah, blah, blah.

1458
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,800
So it was, Death Stranding was set to come out late 2023

1459
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:26,520
but is now pushed back to 2024.

1460
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:27,360
Oh, right.

1461
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,560
And it says the Division Resurgence

1462
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,080
is one of the most unique titles

1463
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,080
set to come to iPhone 15 Pro

1464
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,000
being developed purely for mobile platforms.

1465
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,800
A third-person RPG set in the Division universe,

1466
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,800
Resurgence is set to offer familiar PVP gameplay

1467
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,040
set in New York and is aiming to release

1468
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,240
at some point during 2024.

1469
00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:48,240
Ubisoft has not revealed many details

1470
00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:50,160
around the title as things stand

1471
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,400
but players can expect the iPhone 15 Pro

1472
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,320
to offer the best graphical fidelity

1473
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,680
and performance for the mobile release.

1474
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,160
And then yeah, it goes on to talk about

1475
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,280
Assassin's Creed Mirage having released on console

1476
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:07,280
in October, blah, blah, blah, is set to release 2024.

1477
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,000
Do you wanna know how much the Pro Max,

1478
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:10,920
one terabyte is?

1479
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:12,440
No, sorry, Pro, not Pro Max.

1480
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:13,280
Go on.

1481
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,280
1,499.

1482
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,560
Fucking hell, mental, innit?

1483
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:20,760
But the 128 gig model is literally,

1484
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,560
model is less than this cost.

1485
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:24,400
Oh, is it?

1486
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:25,240
Yeah, it's only grand.

1487
00:56:25,240 --> 00:56:26,920
You can just bang an SD card in it.

1488
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:27,760
No, you can't.

1489
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:28,600
Oh, you can't?

1490
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:29,680
You can't put SD cards in them.

1491
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:31,840
No, it's in the cloud, innit?

1492
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,120
I've got two terabytes in the cloud, so I don't know.

1493
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:34,960
Oh, right, so you don't have to do that.

1494
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,200
I always get the lowest one, yeah.

1495
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:38,360
It is crazy, it's got,

1496
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:40,360
trade in my iPhone 12.

1497
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:45,240
6.1 inch OLED display, eight gigabyte of RAM

1498
00:56:45,240 --> 00:56:47,320
and then yeah, up to one terabyte storage,

1499
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,700
4,422 milliamp battery.

1500
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:56,360
Eight gig of RAM on a phone is quite cool.

1501
00:56:58,160 --> 00:56:59,920
They could give me up to 190 pounds

1502
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:01,480
for a trade in.

1503
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,880
So you may well hear about those mobile games

1504
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,880
in any of these showcases that are coming up

1505
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:14,400
in June, especially the Ubisoft one with,

1506
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,600
the Division Resurgence sounds pretty cool

1507
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,920
because what you also have is where you create games

1508
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,680
like that specifically for mobile,

1509
00:57:21,740 --> 00:57:26,600
it must cost less than doing it for wide console release.

1510
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:27,920
So it's almost like a test of the waters

1511
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,040
if Resurgence is very, very successful.

1512
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,680
Never know, maybe that kind of stuff does come to,

1513
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,080
because I'd love to see another Division.

1514
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:36,920
Yeah.

1515
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,880
I'd absolutely love it because it's such a good game.

1516
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:40,720
It just lost its.

1517
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,080
Yeah, but they're now already available on Luna.

1518
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:45,280
Yeah.

1519
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:46,120
As like cloud games.

1520
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah, one and two, ain't they?

1521
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:49,560
Do you know what I mean?

1522
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,200
That in itself is, I think is quite cool.

1523
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,040
I think.

1524
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,400
The concept of that shit like that

1525
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,280
can actually run on the cloud is.

1526
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,560
Nvidia has announced a streaming,

1527
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,080
like a gaming streaming service thing.

1528
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:03,240
All very cool.

1529
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:04,060
Lots of food to fall.

1530
00:58:04,060 --> 00:58:05,760
Lots of exciting things coming up.

1531
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,080
So there was your weekly wrap up.

1532
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:08,920
There you go.

1533
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:09,740
Fantastic.

1534
00:58:09,740 --> 00:58:12,080
No arguments and we've got some lovely information

1535
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:13,880
across, didn't we?

1536
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:14,720
Of course.

1537
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:15,560
Your face.

1538
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:16,640
Yeah.

1539
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,640
You wait till these mics start rolling.

1540
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:21,200
Right.

1541
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:22,520
We'll speak to everyone later.

1542
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:23,360
Maybe.

1543
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:24,320
Uru.

1544
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:29,320
Uru.
