you
Welcome back to the stage of history.
Welcome back to the stage I've just been.
Welcome back to the stage of history.
Transcending history and the world, a tale of dudes and souls, eternal and total.
To go searching for a smile
Deep in the night, bringing my heart
To that special light
Showing me what love
Showing me we'll never
Stay for a while
Gonna get to know that I'm so
Can't even get off
I'm not gonna let this love lose me
It's not gonna happen yet
Just hold
To carry on
the
There it is!
Geez, hi chat, sorry.
All my audio stuff got mixed up
in the last time I did this.
Hold on a second,
I have to literally fix everything.
God, man, hide that and hide this.
Jesus, anyway.
Hi chat.
Hello, hello.
We're back.
All right, man.
I'm like, what is going on?
We're back.
I'm just gonna jump scare this shit out of you.
We're doing it.
I just got your notification to say get in here.
I'm just doing what I was told to do.
Hey, you know, it's kind of an important day.
It could be important, you know, no expectations,
zero expectations on the entire situation, just none at all.
There's only like 15,000 gift subs on the line
or something like that, more subs than I've had
in five years, hold on a second.
Here we go, here's where we're at.
Cody, god damn, thanks for the 20 gifts, dude, holy shit.
There we go, there we go, that's where we're at.
That's where we're at and that's how it do.
We are sitting here with all of our potentials
and yeah, yeah, chat, people are like, bro, did you,
where's your Final Fantasy shirt?
And I'm like, my dude,
do you not understand this desire sensor thing, okay?
You don't understand how the desire sensor works?
Please, come on, dude.
Give me a break.
The desire sensor, you start thinking too hard about it
and it says, come on.
That's not, I know how this shit works, okay?
Yeah, let me make a tweet, hold on a second.
Hold on a second.
You already used it already for Sephiroth.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
I'm not gonna talk about it.
I gotta get the state of play stream up as well.
Damn, bro.
Damn, god damn.
All right, so yeah, significant amount of gift subs.
RE9 demo DMC6 can, do you not know how to read?
Um, I, I'm not buying into DMC six is going to get revealed here from some rando on Twitter.
I ain't buying it.
Uh, I'm not like, I will not.
I'm not following it, dude.
I'm like, who is this person?
What are we talking about?
Some random things that DMC six is happening when the guy that made DMC pretty much recently
left Capcom.
I'm like, so he left halfway through the development.
That doesn't make any sense.
That makes no sense. So, um, yeah. Yeah, I'm just, uh, I'm standing by it. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it does happen. Your dog accidentally spilled, uh, dog food on a copy of Devil May Cry 5.
DMC six must be coming soon. Did you get, you got the Jesus Cheeto? Damn. Damn the Jesus Cheeto.
I was zero why no ff7 shirt because y'all don't understand how desire sensors work. Yeah, y'all y'all just forgot
Y'all seriously forgot. I'm here trying to keep you video games alive after doing this shit for 38,000 years and
Y'all are out here making demands. That's crazy. That's crazy
Anyway, Breck we am king. Thanks for the prime dude fml vibes North star stream. Thanks for the bids multiple times
I'm just appreciate it is.
So yeah, you know, it's a,
they worked for the NBC collection.
Well, I mean, we didn't know that was gonna get announced.
We have things that, we didn't even know that existed.
Like brother, that wasn't, that wasn't put into existence.
And that's a, that was actually a genuine surprise.
I wanna be genuinely surprised today.
There's a reason why this is at a thousand gift subs.
It's not a guarantee, much less all the other bullshit
that comes after it is not a guarantee, dude.
So, let's just chill.
Let's just chill on that.
And then we'll find out.
Bloodborne gets a sequel, not a remake.
I would be very surprised if, dude,
it'd be wild if there was a massive ass rug pull today
and it's a Bloodborne state of play.
I just don't feel like that in my heart or soul.
I don't feel it.
I don't feel anything Bloodborne happening,
but maybe that just means something, you know?
Maybe just maybe that actually means something.
I don't know.
We'll have to find out very soon.
Let me get this stream up.
State of play.
Stream.
Where are we at?
Sony State of Play live stream game spot from Light Station?
Yeah, this is the one.
All right, they got the general countdown.
All right, Chad.
So yeah, just to recap,
we got a lot of things in here that could potentially happen.
Pretty much, I'll just break it down.
We had a lot of possibilities in the previous couple
of events and transactions that we've had on stream,
notably the Microsoft event,
which I think I actually missed out on.
Yeah, I didn't even watch that.
I watched it post event,
and there were some kind of cool things there,
but I wasn't expecting much,
there wasn't like much that lined up with me, but I was kind of pleasantly surprised by a few things.
The Nintendo Direct was definitely something. It was definitely something. The thing I remember
the most about the Nintendo Direct was that FF7 got announced, Rebirth got announced, and then
Todd Howard showed up in the end, and then that crazy anime puzzle co-op game that looks really
good. Like that's the one game that in my head is being pulled from here. Jesus,
Shirkove, my God, dude, what is all these gifsubs? What's happening? You broke stream labs.
Can't believe it's text and you guys broke it. That's insane. Thank you. Microsoft showcases booty.
It was fine. Like it very much was specifically designed for like Xbox hands is what it felt like.
It wasn't really going to bridge the bridge the gap between everybody.
Anyway, if we can, let's enter, does he read YouTube chat?
Yeah, I do.
Oh, you better believe it.
And if you say, I don't, I'm going to get rid of you.
Let's...
Killigabit, thanks for the five gift subs.
Let's go into sub mode on Twitch.
Yeah, let's go into sub mode on Twitch.
And even on YouTube right now, we have a pretty long regular subscriber mode.
It's activated at the moment, so we should be good.
It's an unwritten rule that if you show up in the YouTube chat and you're like, man, Max
doesn't even read the YouTube chat.
You just get banned and you never get to talk again.
It's like you have to, and you got to pray that I didn't see your message.
You have to pray that some other chatter like warns you like, hey, no, he does read YouTube
chat and don't say that or else you get banned because it's an unwritten rule.
You know, the YouTube chat is a Wild West.
Twitch chat is essentially a conditioned community
that we've been around for a very long time.
So, you know what I mean.
You know how it goes.
That we have to have crazy rules.
Anyway.
Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer,
you guys gotta give me five gift subs each.
You guys gotta go to the other channels
and give gifts subs to all the other people too.
That's part of the agreement.
Crop, graphographic, damn, things for the 20, holy crap.
The Bloodborne remake.
Yeah, I'll put in a solid 2,000 gift subs on that shit.
If it's a PC remaster, yeah, that's worth 500 gift subs,
as not nearly as much as it was before.
Dehoop, thanks for the 10, dude, that's crazy.
A Bloodborne PC release isn't worth nearly
as much as it was before
because we have Bloodborne on PC already.
I mean, to be real, fans, Sony, you waited too long.
You simply just waited too long.
Ultimate Marvel 3 rollback.
Hey, yeah, RE9 demo.
Hey, yeah.
I mean, we're, it's getting pretty close.
Actually, we're getting pretty close.
If, I'm gonna say right now,
if we don't get an RE9 demo at this show,
like a Shadow Drop demo,
then that shit's probably not happening.
This game's like two weeks away,
like legit two weeks away.
So, yeah.
Yeah, you know, um, virtual fighter six, a real trailer that can happen here.
A token, new characters expected.
I mean, this is the place to do it.
So we'll see.
Crazy taxi.
Where is it?
You stupid bastards.
God, what about Sega super game?
That's crazy taxi killer instinct port.
Yes.
Uh, a hundred gist ofs on that.
PSO baby, FF tactics, DLC, somehow, somehow Marvel versus Gapcom four returned.
Hell yeah.
That's 10,000 gift subs. Let's just let's just break it. Let's just break the bank destroy it
Rendit to the ground Vellias. Thank you. Holy shit. There's a stoner. Sheep. She says you guys are losing it
Teddy makes games. You guys are losing it. We don't know if anything's happened yet. We don't have any confirmation
but thank you
Seven minutes. All right. All right. We got we got a few minutes. Well, we're in gameplay. That's pretty much not happening
Yeah, this was revealed Wolverine gameplay is not happening. We can just take it off there
Um, yeah, give me a Tekken 4 or 5 ps2 port. I think that'd be great similar to soul caliber 3 as well as um
As well as the Tekken 3 port. I'd be super down
Um, a zaker. Thanks for the 20. Jesus dude. Jesus
Um god of war one remake 100 gift subs a from soft mecha souls mesca floney. Yeah
Yeah, Mescaflone, hell yeah, it's not a typo.
I want Miyazaki, that's what it is.
It's Miyazaki Escaflone, Mescaflone, that's what it is.
Not a typo.
Strive 2.0, I want to see it.
You're even Gale, damn, thanks for the 20 as well.
Last of us, one remake, remastered, reimagined,
re-something, 10 gift subs, I'm not happy about it.
Konami, you stupid bastards.
Metal Gear Revengeance remake, 200 gift subs.
It's practically a documentary at this point.
Let's do it.
It's the most relevant time in political history
to release a Metal Gear Revengeance remake.
What are we doing?
You can make so much money.
Jesus, dude.
Dude, we forget the, well, I'm not gonna say that.
I was about to mention the part in the game
where they literally farmed the children.
So I won't mention that.
Getting a little too political,
just a tiny bit too much.
Um, anyway, Dina Murra, thank you.
Terrible shit.
The memes, Jack.
The memes.
So, uh, yeah.
Yeah, I'm, uh, I'm definitely looking forward to a lot of potential things on here.
I'm looking forward to it.
This potentially could be a very big show.
Or it's just, chat, we're gonna turn this thing on,
and it's like, we'd like to give you a quick reminder about Deathloop.
Hey guys, Deathloop lead developer John Deathloop here to talk to you about Deathloop in our recent update.
And then he goes on for 27 minutes and it's like, whoa, shit.
Hope and rollback baby, yeah, this is a bit of a current remake, not this time.
No limit, David, thanks for the 10 gift subs dude. No DMC6, Chad, I don't buy it. I don't buy it.
Rockprod, thank you.
Um, I'm not even going to.
I don't even want to humor it.
I'm going to want to humor it because it's like I'm not.
I don't I don't buy it at all.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
I'm only going to put things up here that are purely fantastical,
like like a meme bet or things that I would like to see happen.
But I just don't see DMC six happening at any time soon at all.
Elden ring DLC, dude, I have good news for you.
I have really good news for you about Elden ring DLC.
Dude, did you ever think you wanted an Elden Ring DLC of a multiplayer mode where you have
like three people that run around all the time and then you fight big bosses together?
Like it's a Souls-like slash, you know, I have good news for you.
They don't exist.
Don't look into it and they don't exist.
No more questions, they don't exist.
Anyway, what are we looking at? How many time left?
Quatro Minutos.
That's what it was, Wrath Remake. You wish!
You wish. SSX Tricky Remaster would be amazing.
Bro, the closest thing you're getting to an SSX Tricky Remaster is the snowboarding game in Final Fantasy 7 Part 3.
I'm not shitting you.
If you want your crazy arcade, arcadey, like, bombastic snowboarding game,
It's pretty much FF7 at this point like they're practically going to be there
I'm just an assumption of mine that what they're putting into that game is going to be close to an SSX like
She's man that's the spicy today. We're here for it. You better believe it. There's too many people watching
Anyway, hi
Your boy fire. Thank you
No, if you mean if you mean by me being spicy, I've been downplaying this DMC six thing for days
I'm like what who is this person and people are like, but the voice actor for V
Retweeted it. I'm like, yeah, the voice actor for V also retweeted Marvel versus Capcom for news
Which was fake like four and a half years ago
So I'm not buying it dude. I'm not buying one guy saying DMC six is happening and also
Why would VB in it?
That's just that's a hot take right? Is it he done?
Like did we play Devil May Cry 5?
Hold up like let's just go back and think about this. Isn't that guy like God?
Anyway
I'm curious just curious
The spice is real
We're drinking more coffee
Oh, I gotta mute this. This is definitely gonna get us a slam jam. Thank you, ma'am.
Anyway, hi chat. 250,000 people watching. That's a that's a high number for this shit.
Subtext is watching. Damn, dude. All the FF7 boys are out today. Is the YouTube stream really
behind? No. No, it's live. Is the YouTube stream itself really behind? I mean, not really.
Oh, that's good. Okay. Oh, yeah, dude, there's multiple things happening tonight. Later tonight,
the the Toph trailer for the Avatar fighting game comes out, which will probably have to
be live for at some point. And then I think after this is a thing after this is a Silent
hill thing that's going to be happening relatively soon.
I do.
Let's do four times speed.
Damn.
Well, that shit said live and it was straight up lying chat.
Wow.
It was lying.
Come on.
Okay.
There we go.
it was lying. Okay, here we go. It's just a Thursday chat, okay? It's just a Thursday bro.
It's just a Thursday. Come on, it's fine. We time traveled. Just a little bit. Count it
down. That music, I know it. I know that music's gonna flag something. Count it down 20 seconds.
another Pragmata moment. What if the Final Fantasy VII Bring happens again? What? What if?
What if the Bring happens again? Damn, dude. All right. Thank you guys for all the notifications
and subs. I'm going to pause this for now. Let's get into this. Let's start the show.
Begin state of play 2026.
I
Sent suffering here spirit
Do you need help?
Canna to
Canna to oh
My god, I was joking
Spirit literally is
long time since we've had one of your kind, Cosmora.
It literally is.
Glad you're here.
So they've launched game on PS5 chat?
I think?
That temple has been sealed as long as I can remember.
Dangerous corruption was locked inside.
Damn, I've seen someone with PSSR in this.
It's been a long time.
I remember Simmons played the the first game. He said it was alright. He's like, it's alright.
Oh wow. Oh, this is a significant visual upgrade over the first one.
Almost looks inspired by Horizon a bit.
Harry the Camus.
It looks really good.
Whoa it's got, it's got Okami stuff in it.
They were like, bro, they're making Okami too?
We have to hurry up.
We have to hurry up?
That's this, wow, NPC.
Hey everyone, I'm Josh and this is my brother Mike.
We hope you enjoyed that first look at our next game,
Kena, Scars of Cosmora.
After the amazing response to Kena Bridge of Spears
in 2021, Kena.
The team was excited to take on the challenge
of creating something even bigger
and better this time around.
Our partnership with PlayStation Studios
has empowered us to expand our scope,
while still staying true
have made the first game special since her adventure in bridge of spirits kina has grown into an older
more experienced spirit guide her reputation now proceeds her she comes to a new land called kosmora
home to multiple distinct communities on this adventure kina discovers a spirit guide's role
in helping living people not only those who have passed away with playstation studio support we're
building on everything that fans loved about the first game deeper more dynamic combat what's
the first one in PlayStation Studios game? Can't remember. Yeah, I don't think it was.
I can't remember if it was or not. It was an epic exclusive? Ah, so interesting. This is coming to
PS5 and PC. Okay, but it's PlayStation supported.
Yeah, Ember Lab is not a PlayStation Studio. They just have PlayStation Studio support.
Yeah, okay.
Another PlayStation Studios game. Here we go.
Multiplayer. Yote Multiplayer.
Like, that's headless!
I'm out of the four players, yeah?
Is it gonna be a standalone mode?
I can't remember if the previous one was.
Geez, this makes me realize how similar Yote and Tsushima technically are to Neo3 as well.
Very different combat though.
All this crazy, like, yokai stuff looks really Neo-ish.
Dude, that is almost out.
Free DLC for Yote owners, gotcha.
P.C. version of Death Stranding 2?
Yep.
Yup.
stuff is making sense so far
I think the first death's training also took
like a little bit of time. We're going to show up on PC as well
a little bit of time
I had a set of games in the game.
Dude. Multiple games in March already.
Oh, yeah, the zombie game, right? Zombie co-op game?
It's kind of like a death loop, y'know?
I can't believe Deathloop came back.
Somehow Deathloop came back.
Dude, what the heck is this outrun?
Sometimes 60, sometimes 15?
Sometimes?
replayable chaos. That means your decisions really matter, and creativity and improvisation
are key. We really want players to try things and think outside the box, like hacking an
alien terminal to provide intel to the rest of the team, or being bombarded by killbot
drop pods, or barely escaping with your life. And if you do die, don't work. So
long as one of you makes it back to home base, you'll be reprinted and ready to
to try again. The home base is a place for your team to readjust their strategy, evolve
your loadout, and choose rewards from an increasing array of powerful gear and upgrades. Each act
of the probability map culminates in one of multiple boss battles. This is the scanner
boss, a huge geologic surveyor that scans for flux deposits to harvest. Its scan fields
are very lethal, creating a dynamic obstacle course of lasers to avoid while attempting
Destroy the boss that does not look fun while attempting to destroy the boss Jesus
Seems like a lot our goal here is to create something new
Where every run has you yelling and laughing and saying I can't believe that just happened
We're currently in pre beta
So there's still plenty of polish to come and we need players like you to join us in upcoming play tests
your feedback will be invaluable in helping us make this game a truly flexible hell divers we
can't wait for you to play it for yourselves now go and fail to save the world yeah kind of like
very quirky helldivers in a way
the game that doesn't exist that's the earth
you really can make everything with in the film at all looks a bit like New
New York. Is that a place on earth? I can't believe we haven't found any survivors. I haven't seen anyone besides you since leaving the vault. All alone, huh? I know the feeling.
Hey Hugh. Here comes the reveal that it's a Mega Man game. When I was young I was in an orphanage. I was a lot like you.
Alright, a few bumps along the way.
But I have someone.
Someone looking out for me.
And now it's your turn.

We're running out of time.
Leon's dying!
We know.
We can tell.
Why me?
That's my master.
Who you are.
Wow.
Whoa.
I'm coming with you.
We can't talk.
Pretty weird.
I don't want any more regrets.
Whatever it takes, tell me.
Bro, what is happening?
Bro, Leon in a big-ass city.

I'll announce new updates.
Wow!
The DOA-6 is getting updated?
With rollback netcode or something?
something!
Bro, they're updating DOA 6.
The last round of the RedLive 6 was a new game with the original RedLive 6 as a base and a character that was added as a download content.
It was a new game for PlayStation 5, and a new costume.
It was a new game for the new game.
It's technically what's a PS4 game.
Yeah.
They've got all these new characters and costumes for future updates.
Wow.
That's crazy.
DOA 6 was also a beta game?
I don't believe you.
What about Netcode? Because that was the thing that was the problem.
Free to play version, wow.
Wow. The Netcode was the problem.
That's crazy.
Please watch this video.
Oh, bro.
So there's a- because there's a new goddamn DOA. That's why.
Yeah. There you- there you go.
Neat!
Cool!
That's great! That's so much better than the previous CEO saying this shit is dead!
Wow.
That's cool. That's very cool.
What the hell am I looking at?
Oh, that's the new control game. I thought the guy had a different weapon.
Zoe I see the spotlights and you're getting close with almost DMC is
we're getting distress calls from the theater, but
Research thinks you might have a resident on her hands
And we should have survived that
Gameplay trailer. Hello everyone. I'm Mikal Kasurinen and I'm the creative director of control resonant
The game-changing sequel to control what you're seeing here is an early mission captured from our in-development build
We play as Duelan Faden, our supernaturally gifted hero in the version of Manhattan like you haven't seen before.
They've got a DMC hammer.
We recently acquired Shift, an ability that empowers Duelan to seamlessly neutral gravity anomalies and adapt to the world around him.
of
here we are showcasing a set of different forms of the most main weapon
that there and can take
and his supernatural abilities
there are a lot of different ones you can discover to shoot your place
That guy's very stinky.
It looks cool.
It just looks like very, like Devil May Cry, like DMC.
Which is fine because everything about DMC was kind of okay except it being called Devil
make her eye this is the D dude know this what it is dude this is DMC six like
some randos saw this early and thought this was double make right 100% and
this is this is the DMC six that they were thinking about yeah I think the
combat lacks like in some ways a little bit of a lot lacks impact I haven't
seen enough that's cool
I think I hear something I know where the resonant is Zoe I'll call you back
Resonance are the dominant threat in what's our most ambitious game to date
and we can't wait to share it with you later in 2026
Cool music.
Okay, yeah, yeah.

Yes. Yes it is.

Interesting that it's an isometric game.
Isometric self-action?
I don't think it can be called 10-shoot jet because 10-shoot technically belongs to...
Who owns the rights?
Activision?
Is this the Vessel of Hatred?
We are the children of water, born of goddess.
You filthy creatures, faithless, soulless, unclean.

We already had like a whole state of play on this, did we not?
I would like you to join his majesty
Yeah, I got delayed. Oh, I know all about your exploits a nice one
I strongly believe that there is a need for such heart and intuition in modern spy crawl
That's the very reason I'm bringing back the double O's
Need I state the obvious, he is not ready.
James, the service is over.
You're a rare breed, Don. I'm actually interested to see what you do next.
009 will employ every manner of subterfuge to avoid capture.
Try not to draw attention to yourself.
Me? Housekeeping, I presume?
You've seen the kind of guy who knows what he likes, so you won't do anything stupid.
Corsa, I'm on media.
Agents are a very short life expectancy, and if you do get caught, we will deny ever
having heard of you.
How does that sound?
When do I start?
Looks very uncharted-ish, yeah.
When you see way more gameplay it looks really uncharted. It doesn't look bad. I don't think it looks bad.
I don't know if it has like a really good hook yet other than being 007.
Why are we waiting so long?
What are we building up to? This is Tocon.
I'm Peter Brown. I manage the game content team within third-party portfolio.
We evaluate games coming from publishers all over the world from Indie to AAA.
those of us in the third-party portfolio team travel the world and meet with our
partners and it's even more exciting for me when those partners have been
foundational to my own love of video games and Konami is definitely one of
those partners I'm gonna shut up a lot of people remember Konami for being with
PlayStation in the very beginning taking some amazing franchises that everyone
already knew loved come on dude with new technology and come on video games
that we haven't thought of before come on show us the two we were really
impressed when Konami approached us with their list of announcements for today's state of play.
So to mark the occasion, we wanted to try something a little different.
We join you today from Konami Creative Front Tokyo Bay. Not only to share some really exciting
reveals for upcoming games, but also spotlight some of the key talent behind them. We're really
excited about the diverse lineup they've brought today, and we hope you will eat

It looks pretty sick.
Wow, the art style, man.
Wow.
Motion Twin is the dead cells, guys.
So it's super similar to what Nintendo did with Metroid.

Silent Hill?
You have to come back to me.
What's happening?
Come back to me, Simon.
It's definitely Silent Hill.
I woke up in the water again, but this time it's different.
Hill? Euro Hill?
I keep trying to fix what happened.
But no matter what I do...
You can't fix it.
It doesn't let us change things.
You did what you did.
Didn't she sing?
This is Silent Hill AF.
It's a first person game.
Interesting.
Alright.
Damn, Konami's gonna put out PT before Kojima does.
Dude, Konami, how many goddamn bloody roars that?
Bloody war is looking crazy.
Let's begin our journey.
I'll say hello.
Those were Her Majesty's words.
I'm going to defeat you here.
And stop.
Go like them.
Uh, original IP? Or, yeah it is.
Like a single-player new Genesis game
This is the Konami Direct, it really is.
The members who have been in love with JRPG have become the title they developed with passion.
The relationship with the members, growth, and development of JRPG are very important.
They are trying to express the narrative in a very important way.
I think you can enjoy the excitement of the new adventure.
I like it that Konami's leadership has changed and they're just fully committed to making
games again dude.
Pretty crazy.
I appreciate the commitment.
The chance of things happening actually has a chance.
with Revengeance and, you know, bloodier are.
I
Was very John Wiggish
Yeah, he's moving Keanu-like, yeah.
He must be versatile, capable, adaptable.
It is a John Wick Taylor simulator.
You don't do John Wick action, you play as his Taylor.
That's way more interesting.
It's not blanking his face out.
We know who it is, bro.
You don't have to just show his face already.
This looks like Keanu did the motion capture for this.
He has all his Keanuisms.
The most surprising thing would be if they show the face and it's like somebody else.
Damn it.
Yeah.
the
if
the
if
Oh, that's right, we haven't gotten the big marathon thing yet.
So small among the stars.
Breathe softly. Do not worry.

We've had to do things
to survive things I never would have
still talking we're monsters of this was an SOS call
monsters not a diary
so they're going for like four in this trailer and the visual aesthetic of the
game is like the exact opposite of like scary looks like you're in a laser tag arena dude
Oh my god, that's like out in a few days.

That would be crazy.
If we've gone that long with like eight months of no new token.

the next few months. Hey! Brett's here again. First Marvel Spider-Man 2 swings into game catalog

House Mark's next action game releases April 30th and creative director Gregory Loudon has even more systems and combat to break down
Ooh, let's take a look. Okay
They said lots more. I said lots LOTS. It was plural. What is that for you Arjun?
Finishing the mission
Keeping people safe
I know you better than that.
Hey everyone, I'm Gregory Loudon, creative director at House Park.
Today we're excited to show off our comeback stronger features and Eclipse gameplay running
on PlayStation 5.
In Sarros you step into the shoes of Arjan Devraj, performed by the brilliant Rahul
cally who is discovering the hostile shape-shifting planet of carcosa as you
encounter a variety of ever more brutal hostiles death is inevitable
uh-huh but in saros new return all means that you will come back stronger
welcome to the passage you are not on your own interacting with the survivors
of echelon 4 will help you understand the mysteries of carcosa oh
You have a hub.
They didn't all die.
Some of them changed.
This is primary, the voice of Soltari.
He can engage with our permanent progression systems to upgrade your armor's attributes and acquire special perks.
With Carcosa and Modifiers, you can adjust your experience by, for example, making hostiles tougher,
weaker, or even removing the second chance ability entirely.
However, all adjustments you choose must be kept in balance to ensure a consistent challenge level.
Primary also allows you to teleport directly to any biome that you have unlocked.
This means getting back into the action quicker.
It also means easier replayability the further you get into the world.
Interesting.
Using the teleport, you can now quickly restart the selected biome and get back to where you were.
And now it's time to take another shot at what kills you the first time around.
Oh no, it has music!
Oh no!
It's a complete escalation of our gameplay, our audio, and our visuals on Carcosa.
Extreme!
Now shoot corrupted projectiles which reduce your maximum armor integrity, but you can
restore it by using your power weapon.
Weapons and artifacts also become so frantic.
Frantic I love it that it's just a video game he has holy shit
Is this getting a PC release at the same on D&D I think it might be PS5 only
Yeah, those mobs look pretty familiar
Oh, this is Tsushima outfit.
Oh, oh, it's Tocon!
Oh my god
Okay
Right
Magic is in the game Wow
Rimbo is waiting.
And I'm starting for you!
Time to end this.
I got this one.
Finally! Jesus!
Finally!
Alright, I'm getting kind of excited.
Who the hell?
I am all that remains of Shiar technology
This they showed all the X-Men that's all the X-Men that are in the game each one's gonna have a team of four
That's a lot of information we're going to have to check out.
So they're going to show it by teams.
Gotcha.
It was in English.
We're super stoked to introduce the mutants as the newly formed Unbreakable X-Men.
into the world of Marvel Touka.
Think of Wolverine as an unstoppable, savage tank.
Some of his claw swipes have armor on them,
so he's literally going to be able to shred through upon his attacks.
Wow!
She's trained the X-Men over years through battles in emotion. So as a zoner in this game
She's gonna set up so many traps. There are points are gonna feel like I don't think I've ever seen this character before
As a massive
Marvel fan, that's aware of everything and anything that was included in the X-Men comics issue 1 to 25 in the 90s
This is
Fighting Souls 20 characters yet August 6th. Yeah
Fiora's open next week. So please check out a variety of she is the danger room. Got it to share with you
that makes sense
and
Stay tuned that makes sense. It makes perfect sense
She's the danger room got it no questions
Oh my god.
I think we're getting a gift sub.
I think a gift sub bet's coming true.
What?
One, two, and three?
Zeus!
Your son has returned!
Wow!
Wow, all of them?
Hey, hey, what's happening? What's happening people? It is OGTC. That's right the original God of War. Yeah, I'm back, baby.
I'm going to bring you some exciting news about the series today.
Starting with that teaser that you just saw, yeah?
Now look, we are happy and excited to finally confirm that, uh...
The great trilogy remake is now in development.
Yeah, man, I know, I know, I know.
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down.
Not much done yet, but you know.
This project is still in the early stages.
So, let's be admitted before we get back to sharing another update, right?
But I'm telling you, I'm telling you,
next time we come back, we're coming with something big.
Trilogy? The trilogy.
And in addition, since we're approaching the last few months of God of War's 20th anniversary,
that anniversary year we couldn't let it close without one last surprise now this
announcement is a passion project that will let you experience God of War
signature combat reward the exploration and heartfelt storytelling like you've
never heard it before I'm telling you so thank you for two strong decades of
Ascension remastered online.
That's great.
Three remakes.
What if that's legit inspired by like the FF7 remake trilogy?
before I was a father before I was a god why was a sport holy shit what
Whoa, Kratos as a kid in a metroidvania?
Wow!
That's a crazy announcement.
Such a huge commitment to so many God of War games, not even including the big sequel, you know?
War? Yeah, like legit.
Boy of War, yeah.
That's coming out this year, wow.
what the hell shadow dropped bro
damn dude that's crazy to shadow drop that shit at the end I wasn't wearing
the shirt chat I wasn't wearing the shirt that was that is a that is a good
show-ending announcement to be honest friggin god of war getting a free remake trilogy and a shadow
drop of like a big game this was a pretty crazy state of play dude this is pretty crazy
like most of the announcements dude they pretty much announced doa six here today as well
I I will like the token part and we've seen Wolverine does so much for me
The rest of the characters sorta, you know like sorta
But then I say DOA 6 well
That is like DOA 7
DOA 6 was announced and
n7
Both of them
It was a pretty friggin good state of play. No ff7, which pretty much means that it's
going to be around summertime. We're going to have to wait. But that's good. Here's the
thing. That isn't exactly bad news to me, bro. Like I'll be honest. Tokon is releasing
around avatar's release date. Jesus. I have to, I have to recap the token stuff. I
I need to definitely recap what's going on.
I will say the biggest announcement of the one,
oh wait, what did we get guess up wise?
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
No R&N demo, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You need to do the token new characters,
anything that happened.
CrazyTexaKi PSO tactics, Marvel returns,
Tekken 4 and 5 PS2 port?
Oh no, semantics.
Oh no, that technically did not come true.
That technically did not come true.
It's the PS so close chat.
We have to abide by it, dude.
Kenoma, you stupid bastards.
We were so close to greatness.
150, that's not bad.
To be honest, chat, sometimes none of these come true.
That was not, I think it was a legit good show.
For the sake of it being a PlayStation show,
I thought it was legit good.
It could have tipped the scales if they ended
with like a one minute teaser of like FF7,
that would have tipped the scales in my opinion.
It had been legendary, but all things considered,
that was a very good show.
The only other things that could have like
really done it for the majority of like complainers,
which are people that like Bloodborne
Final Fantasy 7 would have been Bloodborne in Final Fantasy 7. If they hinted at like
a Bloodborne Remake Remaster or some shit, if they did that and then they also did the
FF7 thing in the same state of play, that shit would have been fucking legendary. I think
it was like an 8.5 out of 10. That was really good. There were some disappointments.
No RE9 demo. I think it's somewhat disappointing. I think that is a little disappointing.
300 for three God of War games chat. How much does God of War one remake?
How many, so do you think God of War one being remade equals 100 gift subs? Somehow you're translating that as God of War two and three remake equaling more gift subs.
They need to break it to you, but you're stupid.
I wish I put that on there. I'm actually very happy that they're remaking the whole trilogy because God of War three is my favorite.
But I wasn't even I wasn't thinking that you have to learn how to read first read before you learn how to type
That's all I gotta say
Let's put these in one a second
150
Damn
Damn, okay doing it. We're doing it
Please update your payment details, dude, can you chill?
Chill, bro, can you chill, sweet Jesus, man.
Hold on a sec, Chad.
Review.
Every single time I try to make a give-sup now,
this thing gets all bitchy.
It gets all bitchy and complaining.
We gotta check out the token stuff.
Complete.
Please?
Please.
There we go.
It worked.
I think it's because I had to split them up.
I think I have to do like 150 and then 150 and then, you know,
something like that.
All right, take a set of sub mode if we possibly can.
That was a very good state of play.
I'm going to give it to Sony.
Bro, Tekken 5 technically came back.
That's insane.
I have no clue how good the.
PSP version is like I have zero clue shoutouts to Brett by the way making fighting game shit happen
I have no clue
What in the dumb ass hold up hold up hold up where to go where to go where to go where to go
Where they at there they are
Marathon server slam
spider-man
This is the PSP version of Tekken 5
over the next few months starting with tech and dark resurrection a fantastic fighting game that
originally released on psp playstation plus premium members connects i have no clue very close to
arcade version of t5 that can't be right because arcade version of t5 is is whack um t5 base arcade
is whack just like t5 base playstation it's like nina's broken um there's infinance and shit dr is
is the one that everyone likes.
So are we saying that if it's close to the PS3 version,
that's great.
That's actually mad cool.
It's funny because that we have a PS3 port of the game.
Like that exists.
It doesn't have all the features.
This game has console-like features, you know?
And T5DR on PS3 is pretty much just an arcade port.
It's like, here's versus mode.
That's it, you know?
to revisit this handheld classic in March. Cool. That's in March. Cool. Sorry talking about Fidelity.
Oh yeah, yeah, I know what you mean. Where's the DOA teaser? That's crazy, man. It doesn't even
feel like that long ago that Konami was like, we don't want to touch Ninja Gaiden and we don't
want anything to do with DOA. They were straight up like that. Was it before or after Castlevania?
Uh, Silent Hill Transmission, there's that.
It was before Castlevania?
Brother.
What is it?
It was before the Metal Gear stuff?
By the grace of God, the King.
Where was this announcement at? Before MGS.
get a sweater they opened with NGS
there's like one third through it okay I got a get a bigger timeline kill
maximize that of your series dude oh I'm in the Konami section I'm an idiot
Where the hell is the Koei Tecno part?
Co-Casing Asset.
It was much earlier.
This was the Capcom block.
It was that early? It was like first 10 minutes?
Hey, it's right in front of my fucking face.
I dig the visuals.
30th anniversary.
That...
Well what is the actual 30th anniversary now in development for PS5?
Now in development?
So this is still...
Is 30th anniversary this year?
I'm a little concerned.
The only concern I got is that DOA 6 is effectively coming back and the netcode is not being addressed.
It was the one thing, dude.
It was the one extremely unfortunate thing about that game where it's like,
oh, this would be fun to play if it didn't suck.
Dude, 3D fighters are back!
Holy shit!
3D fighters are back!
Virtual Fighter, DOA, and Tekken are now all competing for the current reign of like 3D
fighters.
The only thing that's missing is Soul Calibur.
Hmm.
Enough time has passed, like straight up.
That's all it is.
Enough time has passed where we can get a new DOA game again.
pretty much what it is. I would like to think that enough time is eventually
going to pass for us to get another soul caliber. Man, I wish. Boy, how do I wish.
And Bloody Roar. Bloody Roar has been gone for like 80, 800 years, man. You're gonna
have to get, you're gonna have to do some convincing at Konami. Konami's making
games, bro. The problem is they're not really making games outside of their
wheelhouse. And, you know, Bloody Roar, I don't even know if anybody at the
company knows what that game is right now.
Cool.
Let me look up the Tocon trailer.
I want to watch the Tocon trailer again, bro.
So I mean, the only thing I'm a little disappointed by
in the Tocon trailer is that Wolverine being there
makes sense, but we have like, it
isn't a lot of the classic X-Men, right?
Storm and Wolverine, I guess it's half of them, right?
But the fact that like four X-Men is pretty much all you're getting, that's how they're splitting everything up.
It's just like four, four, four.
So they're gonna get like four Avengers, four X-Men, uh, four Spider-Man characters.
Let me see what you guys saw about Team Supers. I think I missed this.
I think I missed this Team Super thing.
Hold up.
Four Guardians of the Galaxy? I don't know.
So, I'm gonna look for gameplay stuff too. I wonder if it's even changing.
They actually have English voices this time.
She looks like she's gonna be mad easy to play.
Steve Blum.
Spike.
I am all that remains of VR technology.
Chad, does this constitute a weirdo?
Right?
We said the game was going to have at least like two or three weirdos.
But that was when we thought it was going to be like 24 to like 30 characters.
This character seems pretty wild to me.
Anybody that was is affiliated or knows X-Men from like the 90s era is gonna go like who and then they're gonna hear
Oh, that's the danger room. Oh
Okay seems pretty crazy
No bad guys not a single bad guy. Damn everyone thought Magneto was gonna be in the game. Maybe he's one of the actual bosses
Surrender to avoid further
I better move said it's like a list of a better
What about dooms team yeah
Oh shit
Oh shit, oh, oh shit
Wait, you're telling me there's actually a reason to build the team. Oh shit
actual team building incentivization now like legit stuff not just you can you
can get a couple more assists assemble dude okay alright I don't know if it's an
insta-kill. Hard to tell if it is. Hard to tell if it is, but that is, that is a direct,
uh, I'm curious how that works. That is a direct complaint that I've had since the beginning
where it's like, it doesn't feel like your team is that much different even when you
get more characters, right? You don't really, you can just still keep playing with like
the same couple characters, even if you extend the combos a little bit. It's like,
Yeah, I um so Storm didn't do the generic assist in the end really hold up hold up hold up
let's take a look let's take a look she's cool looking I mean I dig the Wolverine costume
he has the Batman mask though he has the sometimes they give him the Batman ass mask
and he got it in this one now.
I really like that there's team-up supers.
I think that's great.
Finish this!
He teams up a ghost rider, yeah.
Wait, wait, wait.
Surrender to avoid fighter danger.
Let's finish this!
We are stronger together!
PS has a telecom blog, we're gonna check it out.
Where did you see a unique storm assist?
Hold up, hold up.
During the actual combo itself, hold up, hold up.
Yeah, let me check this out.
I'm getting done.
If we're saying that you see mid combo,
not the generic assist, that's what we're looking for.
That's it. That's a massive change and it's very good.
That's a generic wait.
Wait.
I wonder if the gunshot counts.
Oh, also good, good observation.
The, uh, the, the, the exchange of the souls of the character is way faster.
It's half as long, dude. Oh my god. Yeah. Okay. Tagging is way quicker.
That makes mixups more dangerous. Straight up.
It's on the cusp of reaction instead of being like, oh, that's over there now. That's very good
Hold on a second, let me see. I don't see this unique assist stuff happening. Maybe it's here
chill chill chill
a chill bro
the chat as a heads up
in the previous version of this game when you called an assist during a block string
and you called an assist during a combo string
the character would always do a generic beat like a generic one hit assist
so what happens with storm here
She's doing her wind assist.
Good call.
It's not the generic assist.
That is good.
That's really good.
In the storm intro combo she has a new move, really.
God, dude, God bless the surveys.
That's massive.
Straight up.
That is massive.
If that allows us to like, because the thing is it was like three directions, right?
So there's always one direction that...
How are they gonna do it?
Because that's all, hmm...
I'm wondering how that's going to bind itself to the controller.
Because your assists are forward-backed-down.
Maybe it's because you used an EX move?
Is it an EX attack?
PR technology.
Prepare to be disassembled.
Dude, what the fuck?
Like, come on, dude, just put it in the trailer!
We literally can't tell!
Like, my dude, we literally cannot tell.
Like, it cuts right before.
It was an EX, interesting.
I wonder if you have to use EXs?
That's still a little, that's better, but it's also like,
if you have to use EXs to have a character's
normal assist come out, that's better.
Disassemble.
Surrender to avoid further danger.
Wanted to tell another beta. If we get another beta, we've already had two.
I mean, to be real, Chad, how many characters? We've already seen three-fourths of the roster now.
We've seen twelve characters.
So, there's already been, we've already seen the most of the characters that are in the game.
We are stronger together!
11? Did we not see, did we not get 8?
At the, we got 8 back in June.
And we just got 4.
Oh, we got 3 because Storm, yeah that's right, one of them is Storm.
So, they're doing three character reveals per.
Okay, you're right.
Okay, let me go check out that PlayStation blog.
Let me see if anything at the beginning of the trailer has
any more tidbits on assist usage.
See, that feels like that could be a generic assist.
You know?
That feels like a generic assist.
Yeah, she's teleport.
That's the generic assist.
Here's the thing.
generic assist but it was also green like like the ex right it was also green
like the ex huh funny yeah it's always had that you know so I'm wondering hmm
You're cooked
Season pass has four characters already the season pass announcement
Yeah, let's go check that out. Hold on your cooked chat
Oh
Yeah, the year one
The ultimate version.
Is this PS2 Spider-Man?
Punk Rock.
Dang.
Really old school.
Holy shit.
Four characters a year.
You know what's wild chat?
Even if, even if they commit to the 10 year cycle that was proposed before, the game still
has like 60 characters about, even at a 10 year development phase, which is relatively,
which is still relatively close to what versus games normally have.
That's good, no.
That's good.
That's not bad.
I mean, 60 characters in four of you four, wait, yeah, no, four, yes, we get four, 10
years, 40, plus 20, 60, if they're able to commit to the full 10-year cycle that they
were talking about.
So that means that 60 characters after 10 years.
60 is more than enough, but like when what I'm saying is when you hear a 10 year development
cycle for a game, you start being like, dude, this game's going to have like 80 or 90 characters
or something. Like you, you start, that's where your brain immediately goes, you know,
you're like, holy shit, dude, this game's going to have so many characters. It's insane
or something like that.
It starts to even out a little bit.
A 4v4 game with 60 character roster,
that's like a true tag team game with 4v4.
That starts to be like, yeah, that feels about right.
That feels like very generous at that point, you know?
Wow, these are crazy.
Chromatic unlocks.
They're actually giving characters new costumes.
Huh.
Lobby pet.
Infinity Gauntlet pre-order start February 19th.
It's every year guaranteed for though.
I don't know.
Is the game a true tag game though?
I still, we are trying to analyze the gameplay
that's on display here and come to some conclusions
of how much are they incentivizing tag building
and straight up they are giving us,
they are giving us an assemble team mechanic
which allows you to do a big dynamic, like boosted team super of some kind.
So what does a true tag team mean?
Oh, no, the previous versions of Tokon we played could not figure out
whether or not it wanted to be 1v1 or 4v4, like it's straight up.
It almost felt like something was being held back,
which makes sense because we have not seen these mechanics until now.
And yeah, like getting actual assemble team supers, that makes more sense.
Okay. So now there's legit good reasons to assemble and build teams that gives you plausible rewards.
This makes a lot more sense, because this has probably been in the books the entire time.
It's just that it wasn't ready.
Where is that that assemble team thing where it shows like
all the characters, who would you assemble next?
So yeah, Cap, Spider-Man, Doom, Ghost Rider.
This is obviously X-Men, you know, but.
five teams, four characters each. Yeah. So we're going to get three more character reveal,
three more character reveal, three more character reveal, three more character, probably every
like two months, probably every two months. It's got to be team Spider-Man characters,
you know. Doom should definitely be team villains. Damn, that'd be wonderful. That
That would be wonderful. If he's a villains team and you get straight up like four bad
guys, four bad guys, please, Spite Venom has to be over here. We have to reevaluate this
shit because they already dedicated one weirdo and there's probably one more mega weirdo
in there. Iron Man's already in there. Yeah, and characters are already representing.
So Kamala is somewhere.
Iron Man Kamala and who else?
There's one more.
There's eight characters.
One, two, three, four, five.
Kamala.
Star Lord, thank you.
So where does Star Lord go?
Good question.
Spider-Man's team are the new Avengers, maybe. Yeah, maybe. There's no Guardians.
There's no Guardians team. These are the represented teams now. You can start it.
We can actually make a new list. We can make a new assumption list based on
what's gonna happen and probably get a much better idea of what's happening.
Iron Man's probably gonna be under Avengers. Yeah. Venom is 99% lock-in.
Well, I hope for you for any characters you want in the roster.
I don't think anything I wanted to make in the roster.
No.
However, I already said this before.
I don't think anything I'm personally invested in is going to make it into the roster.
Venom will be cool.
I'm really happy to see Wolverine.
That makes me feel a lot better.
However, I am happy that the game is changing.
Like straight up, we saw different assist usage mid combo or mid block string or
something.
I was willing to, dude, we could have an entire Fantastic Four team.
You can have read Richard's and his weird ass family. You can have it.
I personally just wanted the game to turn into something that's really fun to
play.
And it kind of felt like things were in the previous versions of the game,
being specifically held back.
And now we're seeing why, because yeah,
they've been legit holding off mechanics.
So they've literally been holding back mechanics as they were neither not
ready yet or not ready to be shown.
Which, you know, usually doesn't happen in most fighting games.
Usually, they're mechanically open to showing stuff early on.
And stuff doesn't usually change that much later on.
But now that we're like seven months from it coming out,
maybe less than seven months, yeah.
Now they're leaning in and we're starting to see some shit, you know.
Now it's like, oh, okay, so what else is going to be changing, man?
Like, what's happening?
This is a cool mechanic.
This is pretty much the exact same stuff I was talking about.
You know what?
The color scheme of all of these characters is weird to me.
It is super weird that the X-Men team, the colors
are just so not X-Men, right?
There's something about it.
They're so not like in my head of what I think of X-Men.
It's like hella silver and blue.
Like every single one is like silver and blue.
It's interesting.
Magneto, Magneto would be like, bam, if Magneto was right there and this is big
red ass costume, yeah, it would, it would definitely, it's closer.
Like what a modern interpretation of X-Men is, you know?
They aren't uniformed.
Yeah. Well, I mean, they're not.
But all I'm saying is the Jim Lee era X-Men is like the burned in to find
the show X-Men is the burden defined element of what those characters like, you know, the
color scheme of everything in my head of what it looks like. And this has a very distinct
color scheme to it. You know, it's not 90s anymore. Yeah, they're not 90s looking at
all, at all. It's funny because all the X-Men in the background are the ones that do,
right? All the, all these guys are like the ones from like a different world or
some shit she have an install she does
I got this one.
I'll show you how the X-Men get it done.
Wolverine looks cool.
He's a armored, grounded, like, heavy?
He's like a tank now.
It's a wild character choice.
choice. I wonder if this is Uncapped. It's hardly hard to tell. I don't think it is.
I don't think it is. I don't think it's uncut. Let me go check out the the trailer hold on a second
Are the what's it called the the page the Sony page?
Sony blog or PlayStation?
Let me see I got to add this in here
God of War Shadow Drop is pretty nuts
Alright, so the Unbreakable X-Men team, episode mode, different launch additions, a Reborn
X-Men team reassembled to face an approaching threat, uh yeah, response to the X-Men gather
once more however due to recent battle, many of the core X-Men members have been forced
withdrawal from the front lines. With limited fighting strength available, Storm, guided by Xavier,
sets up as leader to form a new unbreakable X-Men to confront... well that's why it's weird.
Straight up. I feel like we got the vibe of that from the base level. I'm like this is a weird
ass X-Men team and they literally explain it in the story. They literally explain it. They
They are there because all of the normal X-Men characters aren't busy.
So I'm like, okay, cool.
So Storm's the team leader, Magic Wolverine.
The AI of the Danger Room, once used by the X-Men for training which has gained autonomy
and taken physical form.
Got it, I knew that.
Viewed with suspicion and persecuted by others, mutant space hostility from humanity, despite
this reborn X-Men press on, Niner Conflicts tried to protect Yada Yada Yada.
The decision mold team will make and how their story will conclude is something
and we hope you look forward to discovering.
Stepping back for a moment, the game will feature
an episode mode.
In collaboration with Marvel Games,
we've adapted the narrative world in character
specifically for the game.
More depicts the Marvel heroes and villains,
including the X-Men, standing against a new threat.
Episode mode blends American comics and Japanese manga
in a new form of storytelling adapted
for a modern video game format.
We have collaborated with renowned writer
from the original Marvel comics to help keep
the world and write the scenario.
The story is presented as motion comics,
centered around manga illustrated by celebrated artists.
the game will feature full voice acting 10 languages.
Is it playable?
And the game's music and audio
will be supported spatial on, okay.
Beyond visuals and sound, the modal also use features
the PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller
to deliver a tactile storytelling experience.
We hope you look forward to the new way
of experiencing Marvel stories, distinct in comics,
or films made possible through games.
is it not a game? Is it just cut scenes? Is it like Guilty Gear? Is it like ArcSys? Story
mode. Yeah. Yeah, so people that don't know what this means, ArcSys story modes, like
Guilty Gear Strive and Guilty Gear XR are effectively visual novels, right, with very
minimal gameplay. They don't really play them. You kind of just like watch and absorb. It
sounds like what it's going to be. It sounds Strive-like. Yeah, Dragon Ball Fighters actually
had a story mode. It was not a good one. Don't get me wrong. It was pretty rough.
I thought this was going to be like that, but it sounds like it might be a bit closer
to kind of just a more expensive movie. We need clarification on this. It very much is not talking
about gameplay stuff, especially when it's saying that you're going to use your controller to deliver
a storytelling experience. Hmm. Interesting. Pre-order bonuses. We're excited to share the
rewards available to players who jump in early. They're copy. Yeah, that stuff. Oh, chat. 100%
it is not. I mean, I'll be surprised. The game's cheaper. It's just not as
expensive. Straight up. Game is not full price. It's not a modern day full price
game. It's cheaper. The story mode probably does not act like a gameplay mode.
That's good that they're discounting the game a little bit. That's full price.
Not now dude for in
That's full price in in where have you been living over the past five years
Normal a normal PlayStation release game chat is 69 99
So 70 is the modern-day full price past 2020
So I don't a joke you're wrong. I don't like it either if it's Nintendo. It's 80
That's what's crazy 60 bucks was normal for like
The Xbox the ps4 era, you know, I don't like I don't like that, but
This is either just like goodwill or is there a reason?
Hmm I
Wonder I wonder if it's a game where like you have these story mode elements
But I wonder how much the game is you playing online against people.
Like how much?
How much 60 is a bad notes?
It's discounted.
That's a good thing.
It means when people have a chance to buy it, but.
I'm curious on the content, you know, hearing about story mode is good.
But I'm a stickler for like, if it's if there's a story mode in a game,
I want to play it, you know, I do want to play it.
It prevented me from ever checking out the guilt of your stuff, even back when like XRD was out.
Why is EU more expensive?
You know, reasons.
The digital deluxe edition, pre-order incentives, ultimate edition.
Launches on August 6th.
Pre-orders go up in a few days.
Cool.
Yeah, cool.
I still have some questions.
I definitely have some questions.
I think, you know, I feel like the trailer did not want to lean in on showing too much gameplay stuff,
while still revealing a big new gameplay element. It's funny. It's like, oh, dude, did you legit show us
a multitude of new assists in there? Did you do that? But it's, they kind of do.
There's like one example of it. So it's like, hmm, that's the stuff I kind of want to know the most, you know
Gameplay during dev talk had more stuff. Yeah, let me go check that out. Let's go back to the PlayStation State of Play video
They were showing some more gameplay stuff
DLC is 25 bucks
That's not bad it's like a bit over six bucks per character, that's not bad
that's not bandai nampo prices it's not bad at all
yeah we'll check this out i don't think this is like jeth
that x-men team is crazy
like they did not play it safe at all
Magic is the one that's like an addition that's pretty popular.
This is new footage.
Dude, they cut from it! I swear to Christ!
They're doing it on purpose!
I swear to God!
They're actually doing this on purpose, dude.
They hate us. The guys that are looking at gameplay shit, they hate us.
As soon as she's about to come in and do something, they cut away.
They know.
Come on.
What just happened?
Hold up.
What just happened hold up
She got hit out of it she got hit out of it dude, that's crazy. This is crazy
this is crazy the laser bounced back and hit storm out of the assist that we
were about to see and then so that cut again they're still hiding it think it
will ring as an unstoppable savage tank some of his cloth swipes have armor on
So he's literally going to be able to shred through a point.
So, again, okay, hold up.
Again, Wolverine knocks down, and I can't tell if they're doing generic assist.
Okay, this is generic Spider-Man assist, all right.
That is the generic Spider-Man assist.
We only had a few frames to find it, but it is.
So that's the way it's always been.
That's the generic assist as well, because it causes the sliding, you know, the tumble.
That was the neutral Iron Man assist with the Iron Man beam.
I'm driving me insane.
Holy shit dude.
I think they, I think they, this seems, this feels very intentional.
I don't know what the hell is happening dude.
This seems, this is crazy.
I literally, okay, it's Cap doing the generic, it's Iron Man doing generic assist, okay.
So still no examples of like any different thing.
They do not want us to look at the gameplay stuff, man.
That's crazy.
It's like the one thing that all the fighting game players I played this want to know
about it's like all right so assist calling is weird can we see how that changes and we have one
example of it maybe changing in the trailer but every other time we look for examples they'll cut
they'll cut it right before
Fiora is open next week so please check out a variety of editions and goodies and we can't
wait to share with you some more info please check it out and okay that was it
the magic combo storm starts doing wind assist in the trailer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In this,
Okay hold up hold up
The magic combo
Did they talk about this assemble mechanic? Like the game has changed
Yeah, the combo we first analyzed had Storm doing something different.
Yeah, no, this is great.
Now this shit all cuts before we get to look.
This is the same issue we were running through before.
Every time it's about to show and it says happening, it either gets interrupted or cuts.
Um, anyway.
Yeah.
Assemble looks like an insta kill.
That would be fascinating, you know?
That would be interesting.
If you somehow build up to like a big attack, that was literally a complaint, which is like,
yeah, like why doesn't our team do something unique and different when we're all together?
Like what?
Um, and it looks like they're legit doing that.
They're legit doing that.
Unstoppable savage tank. Some of his claw swipes have armor on them, so he's literally going to be able to shred through a opponent's attack.
She's trained the X-Men over years through battle simulation, so as a Zoner in this game
She's going to set up so many traps that her opponents are gonna feel like new trap Zoners
All right, all right, we got to see a bit we got to see a bit
Silent Hill in five minutes. Yeah, we can check it up. Let's see
Seems like an instagill 4v1 because it only shows one character getting hit by all of that
Good point. I want to know more. I wish they talked about it in the blog
We literally saw a whole new mechanic, dude, like an entire new thing.
Gonna play the God of War game. The 2D one? Probably not. I think it's cool, but probably not.
I want to play the God of War remake when eventually that shows up.
Hold up. Where is the Silent Hill thing at? Silent Hill Street.
I don't mind checking this out, let's see what's going on.
You think they'll keep the sex minigames, dude, they'll make the whole game that, you
know?
They'll take out the combat.
Yeah, I think that's what they should do.
for sure. They should just make the entirety of God of War 1, 2, and 3 only the sex mini-games.
And nothing about it is him like fighting gods or anything. It's just Kratos having sex.
Oh yeah. That's probably what they're gonna do. That's the new audience they're trying
to hit. Yo, J. Crumb, thank you.
So I'm gonna I get to talk about it now while we're waiting for this Silent Hill thing
FF7 was obviously not announced
so
They're not doing the traditional
Marketing around it like there things are not following any any usual
Usual path
So summer games fest is looking pretty good and that'll likely be a big reveal
It won't even be a teaser, it'll likely be a huge drop.
Like a lot of shit, like full gameplay.
So delay, I mean, dude, again, we don't have any delay because there's no, there's no time
frame for when the game is out, you know?
We don't, everyone's been presuming that the game is gonna be out next year, around
early next year for the 30th anniversary.
There's a big presumption of that because it makes a lot of sense
But still there is no delay because there's no actual date
This is all stuff that we've been hoping that they were gonna do, you know
We only know that it's just been in development and they've been talking about it a lot
They've definitely been discussing it a lot as a reminder
There's another state of play that traditionally happens every single year in May, right and
And where has Final Fantasy 7 shown up in the past?
Not at the February state of play. It's usually at the one right before Summer Games Fest
so I
Don't know
There's pretty much anything that happens after this point chat. It could show up
Honestly, it could show up
If you worried scared ff7 part 3 is going to go against the marketing of GTA 6, no I
wouldn't be too worried about that.
The audiences are much different man.
Right?
Did they also do a Square Enix specific showcase before Rebirth?
They did.
No, no, they had like a literal Final Fantasy 7 showcase put on by Square, you know?
What did our nuts land today close to orbit?
I mean, for, I think for most people,
this was an incredible state of play,
especially with the God of War announcement.
This was an incredible state of play, dude.
Remake, dude, them committing to a three game remake,
which has not happened yet outside of like Final Fantasy VII.
My dude, like they committed to remaking,
not remastering, remaking one, two, and three.
Holy shit, dude.
Like that's insane.
So that's a pretty big thing to do.
I think it's a good idea.
Today, Sony's state of play will release a trailer,
and we have started a vish-list registration
for PlayStation 5, Steam, and Epic Games.
Please, everyone, please subscribe.
Furthermore, we have prepared the latest information
about this 6000 series.
First, let's introduce the partner of the main project.
And this is so... through this Japanese style way of doing like informational presentations.
Everybody's in this spooky fog lit room.
They just are like...
Ugh, I think it's funny.
We couldn't be more excited and honored to have the opportunity to work with the entire
team at Konami to co-publish Silent Hill Townfall.
And Apprentice Interactive is a publisher that not only looks for great stories to tell,
but also great teams to tell those stories.
And we're so pleased to partner with the very special development team that created
Silent Hill Townfall, John and the entire team at Screen Burn Interactive.
And this project came about because the team at Annapurna and the team at Screen
Burn are really passionate about Silent Hill.
very excited about the unique stories that we're able to tell in this amazing franchise.
It's also important to us at Annapurna that the characters we partner with
on the roof shaking those lights and that's exactly what we have with Screen Burn.
Yeah, I was a fan of the series ever since the release of the first game.
It's a real pleasure and an honour to be here today to talk about Timefall.
The entire development team and I are so excited to finally be able to share our
first look after so many years of development outside.
Was that it? Was that a hector from Netherreal back in the day?
The last time I talked to Hector was Jesus, SoCal Regionals like 2014 or some shit.
It is?
Wow.
He used to be the old community manager for Netherrealm way way back in the day.
like Injustice and Mortal Kombat X.
I can't stay in this room forever.
I know it's just going to be hard.
Let me check stuff, Chad.
Hold on.
But you have to come back to me.
I'm really excited.
I...
The biggest thing I'm concerned about for DOA is Netcode, man.
It's just online play.
No Virtua Fighter.
Yeah, there are still several things that are looming now that we're waiting announcements on like vf and and
and ff7
Did you miss a do a announcement? Yeah, the pretty much do a seven was announced, but it's announced that it's in development
No sega anything nothing
I keep trying to fix what happened, but no matter what I do, you can't fix it.
It doesn't let us change things.
We just saw this trailer chat, it was just at the playstation show.
Oh, yeah, no talk about PSSR, good point.
And we can see from the trailer debut today that Townfall clearly embodies the DNA of the
Silent Hill franchise.
It's also has quite a unique take, which we know has been really important to the team
at Screen Burn.
And part of that uniqueness comes from their own identity, their perspectives, their history,
and their style.
So, John, we'd love viewers to learn more about Screen Burn and your team's history
and the work you've done on Silent Hill Townfall.
Absolutely. Our main objectives were to make a game that could feel specific to the team who made it,
to bring something new to the series in terms of setting
and to really think about what Silent Hill, both in concept and gameplay, could look like through a Screen Burn lens.
Yeah, and it's this lens that appealed to us so much when we started working with you in Screen Burn, you know, many years ago.
and we knew that with Annapurna's partnership with Konami helping to guide the project,
that the three teams together could produce something original exciting for the fans
and show Silent Hill in a way that hadn't been seen before.
Let's take a look at the people who make the sound.
We've got our previous games that we worked on over the years, so Super Arclight was our
first title that we released back in 2016. Stories Untold, 2017, Observation 2019 and then Silent Hill
soon. A little collection of Silent Hill games, the thought that we're going to be slotted in at the
end there, it is a genuine honour to work with the franchise and to contribute to it. After we
shipped Observation we were kind of like figuring out what we're going to do next and then we got
We got this call from Annapurna to ask us what we would do at Silent Hill.
That froze us in our tracks.
It's not an opportunity we ever thought we'd get, but it's one we knew we all wanted right away.
We pulled together a pitch of what we felt would be a really cool, unique screen burn
take and brought it to Konami and we're delighted that they loved the idea.
It was like, this is exactly what we need, this is what we want to do and we want
you to go for it.
have their trust and as both Annapurna and Konami is a huge honour.
It's good they're actually showing more gameplay.
Yeah, this is a...
If you can call that gameplay.
Greenlives, and we're DesignLives.
My name's Graham McKellen, I'm the lead game designer.
John is my brother, so we've known each other for a while.
We have a lot of the same experiences, films that we watch when we grow up, games that we played.
That allows us to work really well together when it comes to finding this energy between narrative and game design.
Very early, we agreed that we wanted to present this game in first person.
And first person is, you know, you have a more limited field of view.
There's things happening off-screen, which you're not always aware of.
and, you know, as we know in horror, what happens off-screen is sometimes scarier than what happens right in front of you.
How we use the perspective to induce the horror or anxiety and fear,
but then at the same time trying to find the balance to that, which is what can be good for the player.
One of the first things we set out to do was like, what can we do with the radio that's not been done before?
What can we do that kind of gives it a new function, a new aesthetic, but it feels silent hill.
the analog tech that's kind of been my vision.
This looks like a town you live in.
I'm sorry.
Even in our previous games, there's
been as close to real life technology as we can get.
This is a very small handheld TV,
but kind of inspired the CRTV.
The CRTV is our take on the classic radio.
We really wanted to have the player bring it up
and actually use it.
So we were really keen on having the player tune
with the CRTV actually go through the frequencies
discover narrative content but also be able to use it as a tool to see where enemies were.
So yeah we teach the peak mechanic which gives the player a little bit extra mobility around where
a camera can be so you can peak up and to the side and to see around corners or over walls.
Keep doing this as Eileen.
It's really important for the first person perspective, giving the player that extra control over the camera.
For a long time this game, we felt might just be more than Europe, you know, and not lock it down to Scotland.
There was a drive to create something that felt authentic to us, and it kind of felt natural to kind of bring it home.
You didn't think there'd be another Silent Hill game after you just said Silent Hill half? They're leaning in, dude.
It's very obviously Silent Hill, Misty's, foggy environment.
They're going all the way.
I like a walk to school when I was growing up,
because, you know, I've grown up in towns like this,
in a small fishing town that's kind of similar to Sentiment Media.
It's a beautifully epic, gray, drizzly environment.
And we're bringing that to the game.
It just feels so real, especially when you're going through it
in the first person, you kind of feel like you're there.
It's so detailed, every single thing.
And it's all connected to the story.
Very personal story.
I know for John as well.
I would have been about 17 or 18
when the first game came out.
And I was really ill, high fever,
all this kind of stuff.
I know I finished it.
But the experience I have was like a fever dream
because it literally was.
For this day, I've never played it again
because I kind of don't want to know
whether what happened that night was real or not.
John and the Fog ever since.
And I think now that we're actually responsible for it,
we're actually kind of pulling the rest of the team in
and now we're looking forward to bringing the fans
into that future dream, too.
That reveal.
Each team has its own vision of how they created a new experience in Silent Hill.
Now, there are many things to talk about the trailer of the trailer that was released.
The most important thing is that the main work is the first-person point.
It's funny because it's like we actually ended up getting the super spooky first person Silent Hill game, officially from Konami.
And I wouldn't be surprised if this one comes out before PT, or not PT from Kojima.
Oh, short message.
Oh, I forgot about that one.
But the ability to sneak, hide, and evade brings a new element of choice to the combat, where resourcing to violence isn't the only option.
In fact, with the aid of the pocket television, known as the CRTV in the game, evasion is every bit as useful as survival technique as facing enemies head-on.
Players are encouraged to experiment and find a playstyle that suits them while being mindful of the resources and the opportunities that surround them.
Yeah, dude, that thing looks extremely alien isolation-like.
Having this constant, I use that way more than any other item in Alien Isolation, you
know?
Indeed.
That additional level of fine control provided to the player works especially well in First
Person.
allows players to cautiously assess an encounter before they make a decision to evade or charge in.
In First Person, features like the Peak or the CRTV become more immersive,
rendering details up close in the character's hands and all in a tactile and physical way
rather than using on-screen HUD elements.
These features really shine in First Person, and as the game progresses,
players will be challenged in many different ways.
Using the right technique at the right time is vital for Simon's survival.
John-san, next, let's look at the new main character, Simon Odel.
The characters in the series are all filled with feelings, but Simon is not a leader.
He is a very human being, and he is not a leader.
Simon, who is the main character in the trailer, is now a member of the Central Amelior.
Well, I knew in the beginning to write the game that fans would have certain expectations about the worlds, characters, and the themes that permeate the series.
I wanted to both lean into those expectations in some ways and subvert them in others.
Gilt is a strong theme throughout Silent Hill's many stories,
and I wanted to dive deeper into the various different ways that Gilt can manifest,
where it comes from, what it can do to people, and how, if you can, come to accept or resolve that.
So, while those narrative themes are distinctly Silent Hill,
we're looking at and interpreting those themes in a very different way.
The game's beginning. Simon wants the end of the world.
That's the right thing to do. I'll take your phone number.
Was there a...
Was there also a tech and talk?
This week as well?
Well, a core component of our team's narrative style
that has been present in all of our previous games
is mystery.
Simon's journey through the town is layered with
nuance and questions where players will gradually uncover both small details and big reveals
and they'll be kept guessing throughout. There are other characters to meet along the way too
and understanding Simon's connection to them is key to the narrative. Some mysteries will pay off
as the game progresses and some will deepen further, inviting players to dive deep into the
world and to detail spread around the town.
I
Don't know what I'm going to do. I'm going to show you. I think it's just start. Yeah, it's like
an hour and a half ago
Center media actually two and a half hours ago
It just started to kick it off. It's not a good thing
The world is going to change the world. I'm going to change the world. I'm going to change the world. I'm going to change the world
So let's take a look at the actual location of Scotland, which has become the inspiration for the media.
Scotland!
I don't know if it's the photography, but this place just looks dreary.
So we're going to go to...
Shit looks like European Seattle.
a lot in the game. Graeme and I have been many times over the years. We took Apollo when
he joined the team. And I think this is one of his first time.
It is, yeah.
They're going to get better at the shot.
Nope, just Scotland. Yeah, that's, you know.
As a QA...
That's just the UK.
That's true.
I think I have played probably 3,000 hours of this game, but I've actually never
explored those real towns, so I'm excited to see it.
It's the smell and the wind and the sound of the place, all of that together is what you're
trying to recreate.
You're not just trying to recreate the visuals, you're trying to recreate the vibe.
And there's no better way of doing it than spending time there.
It's really important to not let your life behind the lens and just absorb the place
when you're there.
The first way that's always important for us is to get out and see the place that
that's supposed to be made.
You get there?
Why is everything wet?
I was like, I need someone in front of the camera when I take these images.
The fog was so big.
The thing is so damp that when we came out here we got to like this spot and from here we couldn't see the coast anymore
and we couldn't tell which direction the coast was in and we immediately felt like in danger.
And we ended up with this shot here.
The atmosphere is like blue and light the Sun was going down everything from that moment was when we kind of realized that this game is going to begin.
We have this fog that rolls in on the east coast of Scotland and for the heart. I got pretty obsessed.
It has rained every single day so far in 2026 in the UK.
I could go to a town that looks like St Emilia and find a fog.
Intrusive thoughts constantly, constantly spiking the brain.
making the brain
bitch, it rained for three days here and I was sad
capital S.A.D. sad
this was like the first beautiful corner that we did
and then as we get rid of this corner
yeah, it's glitchy
this is so cool
Don't be hard on the game. You'll see what you do.
This was the first pier I think we came to.
And we walked along a bunch of other piers as well just to kind of see the differences
and the kind of shapes that they make and how they're used, that kind of thing, you know.
This is it. This is very similar to our St. Melia pier.
So we're in St. Monans. This is the harbour town
and was the first place that we built for the game.
When I started to write the story about what this town was, what happened to this town,
the isolation was a big factor.
There's like an existential dread that comes with that.
Silent Hill has always had a sense of like not being able to leave the town and face why you're there.
That isolation isn't just for the protagonist, but also for the town.
It's like they've got to do what they've got to do.
You just have to get on with it and you have to solve the problem.
There's no runaway.
It's surreal. I think it's because a lot of stuff are so similar to in-game, even like
the slanted walls, the colors, wherever the benches are placed is exactly the same as
in-game.
These alleyways can sneak through the entire town. You're really fun to walk up and down
in real life, but when you've got a monster chasing you, it's just not a nice place
to be.
Coming up there, this is one of the slopes that I've been looking for.
It's been a very good job reproducing the visual aesthetic, you know?
why it feels like a real place, but the effort that we've put in will make them feel like
it's a real place and it will give them that sense of history and, yeah.
In the Tocan footage from the Desert Talking, um, Danger calls a grounded Iron Man assist
instead of the Air One.
You know, we're all big fans.
Interesting.
You know, we're, we're, we're obsessed.
Interesting.
We trust people that franchise like this is an honor and you know we want to make sure
it's good.
So if true that is good because yeah when you're in the air you only get air assists.
It's sucked.
If you're lying I will find you.
Don't get my hopes up though.
I want to jump and call and assist for Christ's sake.
Thank you for your valuable talk about the inspiration and how to reproduce the game.
The concept of cyber is realising a new world.
This is the main attraction of the series, and it's a very important feature.
Lastly, let's talk about the energy and structure of the game.
Some of the biggest games that we've ever published and while screen burn is a relatively small development studio at about 30 people
They have been afforded the development time to really realize their creativity
Townfall and as a result townfall is a full-length high quality game
But we can all present with confidence following Silent Hill F and Silent Hill 2
Screen bar Annapurna
Konami no science a good movie to do you know, he's trying it's weird
They're legit trying, dude.
We're definitely not getting any Silent Hill 1...yeah, I was about to say.
We're not getting any Silent Hill 1 remake announcement here.
This is going to be a follow up from what this was.
We're so thankful for your patience and we can't wait to show you more of what we have
in store for you in Townfall.
We see this project not only as our biggest and most ambitious game yet, but as a love letter to the series that inspired many of the team, myself included, to become a game director.
They're not supposed to remake it. Why? But like, actually showing it, you know?
To be given this opportunity to contribute to the series and...
And that was like, technically announced, you know?
It's a love letter with the entire team at Screen Burn, and I'm very proud of the game they've created.
Our goal at Anaparna is to support our developers so they can focus on making the best possible game.
It's been amazing to see Townfall come to life throughout development
Thank you to screen burn for their partnership and thank you to Konami for trusting us with the Silent Hill franchise
Silent Hill Townfall is a labor of love for everybody involved in a true collaboration across the three teams
From the amazing team in Scotland at Springburn
Revealed publisher Konami not only in Japan is the God of War remakes gonna be in you're very humbled by the
Over the shoulder to co-publish a game for the first time with an existing fray
They're gonna be like third-person team up style to this historic franchise
Good question, right
Is it gonna be modern? Is it gonna be a modern Sony games or is it gonna be like the classic PlayStation 2 ones?
Third person over the shoulder is the way Sony makes their games now, right third-person action
Or is it going to go back to the pulled back beat-em-up style?
Kratos gets pretty tiny in those games, man, which helps sell the scale.
Kratos can get pretty tiny.
It isn't a remaster, it's a remake, you know?
I would say it would be the classic style if it was a remaster,
If they're just like re-releasing it, but if they're remaking it, I'm I'm
What in my head a god of war one remake would not be like the OG at all
It would not
It would definitely be
Yeah, like DMC cam, right that that's what the old games were devil may cry cam old devil may cry cam
The new one would be like 2018 style
I'm very curious, they're calling it a trilogy remake, right?
Which makes me think they're doing three separate games, you know?
10520 and the Tocon thing, hold on a second.
Check that out.
one of the
one of five
of
She's gonna set up so many traps
Hold up did I just see what you saw?
She's trained the X-Men over years through battles in the nation so as a zoner in this game she's gonna
Train the X-Men over years through battles in the nation so as a zoner in this game she's gonna
man is it hard to tell dude I feel like this shit is intentionally difficult to
tell chat what we're looking at is if a character is airborne in token they can
only call an airborne assist right which sucks that makes it very specific how
you can use assist it's an extreme limitation so we're looking to see if
She is airborne and the assist comes out because you have to be
you have to be on the ground to get the laser assist to come out as a zoner.
And it's almost like thing.
OK, she's airborne for sure.
She pretty much called the assist right up there.
The green shit.
This is the assist call up here.
And the assist call is Iron Man.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
That's really good news, dude.
Actual pincer. Holy shit.
Maybe it could this be a special move, maybe
Looks the same
No, no, no, bro
If this was the previous version of token Ironman would be in the air and he would call the the assist in the air up here
And there would be no way for you to change that
She's trained the X-Men over years through battles in the nation so as a zoner in this she's just doing a jumping air dash and
You see the assist call the green the green spark is the assist call
It's right here and Iron Man has done the ground assist that's huge.
That means it plays like a normal versus game, like a normal team game.
And why is that such a big deal?
Because calling assist was a nightmare.
Like getting the thing you wanted to come out in the previous versions of Tokon was a
nightmare.
And like, yeah, why can't we call our grounded assist if we're jumping?
Why cannot we call our normal assist when we're in combat?
Like mid-combo or in like everything oil's always boiled down to a generic assist where
it's like, yeah, you only get to play the game this way.
That's what the game was kept telling us.
You only get to play it this way.
So we're like, dude, let us do normal assist during block strings and combo strings.
That'll help.
That'll make things feel a bit different than always being the same thing over
and over again.
This is a very good change.
If this is, if this is where it goes to, this is a very good change.
I'm going to be very happy.
And it may, it's, there's a much higher probability of the game being fun.
Just having a lot better of a time with this, you know, the thank God for the survey.
Thank, thank God for the survey, dude.
Why would they obfuscate this info?
I don't know, because it's not important.
Is it really isn't the one that really?
confuses me is that they have an entire new like four four character team
super mechanic that's really neat and they don't talk about it at all that's
bizarre that's actually bizarre that they don't even they just mentioned the
characters and they don't talk about their new big-ass team super we know
nothing about it like that's the weird one man I'm like okay we just got to
wait we just got away fine-tuning but short showcasing I'm sure I'm sure
It did always feel like something was missing, you know
We've been saying this shit since we first played it
It always felt like something about this assemble mechanic feels like it's missing shit, you know
It feels like we're not being given the full picture. It's like it's a vapid like it's like we get there
And it's like so we just make of it what we want. We don't get we're not given cool things
You need to make cool things. It's like, hmm interesting. That's not how games normally work
But interesting. That's a fascinating idea. So anyway,
I think it was just a level fourth super three, three splice together.
Yeah, I'm curious, you know, it looked like it was like a,
that's what they do in street fighter cross-tech.
And they take like the halves of their supers and they put them in there,
but we'll see. It looked like it was mostly cut up,
but it's something it gives you a legit incentivization to
building the team and building your resources and doing a big cool thing.
Like, yeah, like video game shit. That makes sense.
You legit don't see how it's a team super check it out.
Watch watch watch.
So they do it they do their big square combo right this is mash square the combo with the
whole team assembled and then Storm finishes it and she goes into a completely unique
an arena completely unique arena all the characters are doing this thing now by
the way this animation is not present anywhere else like all the four characters
like rushing forward like that there's a little bit at the beginning of the
intro to the characters but they don't do this so they're assembling all on the
same all in the same screen yeah like it we saw this in the very first trailer but
we didn't have any context for it we didn't know like what the heck it was so
clearly the mechanic has been there for a long time it's just we just thought it
was trailer shit we're like oh this is just trailer shit no no no it was it's
this is a gameplay thing. And yeah, it doesn't look
cinematically. It looks a little weird.
Cinematically, it's a little funky, because it just looks like
it's a little bit of every single character's level one super
kind of put together. Um, so but I feel like we're not seeing
the full picture here, you know, I hope you get access to it
outside of a square combo. Me too. You know? Me too. Yeah, they're all, they all remain
in the grid area when they do this shit. So yeah, they're still in the grid area. This
is the, they're the big four characters come together to do something really cool. You
know? I wonder an interesting choice. Like if you cycle your assist, you can do this.
Yeah, you know. Yeah. How I feeling about this X-Men team? I'm not feeling it very much, but I'm very happy Wolverine's here.
That would have been extremely tone-deaf if he wasn't here, but he's here, you know.
Um, I
think it's just gonna be you assemble the whole team, you know. If you get the whole team in there, then...
Yeah. That makes sense. But my question is...
can you only do the big assemble super if you're using the correct team? You know? Can
you only do it if you have all X-Men characters? Can you only do it if you have all the Spider-Man
characters? Probably not. I'd assume whatever team of four assholes you put together that
it would be very weird if you had to specifically use these characters, that would suck, you
So probably not that feels way too restrictive if that's the case that sucks that actually big sucks, dude
Yeah, we need to do some new character predictions
We'll do it a bit later. I think we can do that maybe tonight before we get into streaming
Yeah, I don't know I don't know we have no information man. We have no information how this is gonna work out
The fact that the Team Super does not show the characters interacting with each other in any way
means that you can have any team. Yeah, that's what they did with Street Fighter Cross Tekken.
And in Street Fighter Cross Tekken, there was Team Super that did the exact same shit.
Characters would start, and then they would jump in halfway through. And it's like,
you got half the Super and the other half of the Super. So yeah, that makes a lot more sense.
It isn't like this shit. Hold on a second.
if
it isn't like this super
That isn't like this one.
And they- they- they- this game died so fast, bro, that they didn't end up doing it for
any other characters, and they clearly were.
Yeah, that only happens if you have- if you start the super with Winter Soldier and
you have Cap on the same team. That only happens then. And it doesn't do any extra damage. It's
just cool. It was it was very clear that they were going to do one for Mega Man X and zero
and Venom and Spider-Man. If you just happen to have those two characters put together,
you know, how do I feel about the music in this? I don't feel like I heard anything.
like I felt like I don't remember any of the music in this trailer
I don't really hear a lot of it.
So it's kind of generic.
Yeah, I didn't remember hearing any music, which is why we're listening.
Yeah, it doesn't really come across as like X-Men music, it comes across as like MCU music.
in fact, like I don't know if it's trailer music or not, it seems like it could be trailer
music, or if it's actually like a team theme, hmm, hard to tell, what would you consider
X-Men music? I mean X-Men music, you know? Like, X-Men music sounds like X-Men music.
The X-Men theme, you know? Like, come on. But that's the thing is that it's not the X-Men.
That's the whole point of the story, is that it is supposed to be
the offshoots, right? The X-Men are not available. So these are the different, they call them something
else like the assembled X-Men, the B-Team, the C-Team, some shit like that. Unbreakable
X-Men. Yeah, it's like a new mini-team. Anyway, some pretty good news, you know? And here's
Here's what I got to say to all the, to all the extremely emotional Final Fantasy 7 fans.
It's not the end.
Right?
We're not there.
We're not there yet.
I think it's actually kind of, I don't, I'm not at that upset by it.
The year of like Final Fantasy 7 leading up to whatever the hell's happening.
I'm not that upset by it.
But at the same point, I am looking forward to it.
I still have something desperately to look forward to that is going to be around the corner somewhere.
We know it's somewhere. It's somewhere out there.
It's going to be soon. This is the year for it, man.
So to me, that's still a good thing because once that begins, that's it.
That that is it will never happen again.
So whether or not that summer games fest or some state of play in May, any of that kind of stuff.
We shall see. You know, we shall see.
So there's still easily something to really look forward to that we know is tangible and will be happening very soon
You know, so I'm pretty excited about that. I'm pretty excited about that. I still think that's yeah
We have something we can easily look forward to this isn't the beginning of the end, you know
So we'll see wherever that is we'll see re9 trailer you watch um, I
Think I'm okay. I think I'm just ready for re9 to come out
I think I'm okay. We'll find out. We'll find out. We're gonna see.
R&I looked pretty good, but I don't know if I want to frame by frame that shit again.
I don't know. Star Wars Galactic Racer looked great. Yeah, that was a legit good state of play.
Most games that were there were interesting. There wasn't anything that really was just like,
oh god, this is just taking up time. I didn't really feel that for the majority of it.
I felt like 90% that show was legit really good. Anyway, yeah, I'll come back. I'll
stream tonight. We'll talk about it. We've got something to play things to do. Anyway,
thanks guys. Have a good one. Shine on. I'll see you then. Peace.
To see how the world has gone on
I can't even have a friend
Yet to go searching for a star
Deep in the night, I burn my heart
A black flash of light
To shine on me with my heart
To shine on my body
I'm coming to get your soul to carry on
To shine
