Major Discussion Topics & Key Insights

Sucker Punch’s Future: "Only One Game at a Time"

(Main Discussion: 10:03–24:28)

• News: Sucker Punch will continue developing only one major project at a time, maintaining focused, small-team AAA game development.
• Brian Fleming (Studio Head) Quote:

  “The truth is that whatever we do next, whether it’s continuing Ghost or going back to Sly, the decision is really more limited by…our cherishing of focus and time to iterate, which means that we really can only do one thing at a time.” (12:01)

• Key Points:
  • Sucker Punch values “focus and time to iterate,” preferring depth over breadth.
  • They won’t be working on multiple franchises at once; next steps after Ghost of Yotei and its multiplayer Legends mode are undecided.
  • Team size and identity: Employees span generations, with some staff being children of previous team members.
• Panel Reactions:
  • Blessing appreciates the studio’s rationality and focus:

    “I like hearing from a team that says, hey, we understand ourselves. … We want to be able to give you the best polished product.” (12:13)

  • Speculation: Both expect Sucker Punch to move to a new IP rather than a Ghost 3.

    “I think we’ll end after Yotei here and switch gears into something different, which will be exciting.” – Blessing (13:43)

• Debate: Is there room for Sucker Punch to return to Sly Cooper, Infamous, or something new?
  • Blessing thinks Sly Cooper is more likely than Infamous due to Sony’s investment in superhero games like Spider-Man.
  • They discuss the evolution from Sly → Infamous → Tsushima/Yotei and whether PlayStation would want a platformer or historical open-world game.
  • The reality and challenges of 5-7 year AAA game dev cycles.
• Notable Quotes:
  • “That choice is really important. I mean, that is choosing your college and your major every five years.” – Brian Fleming, Sucker Punch (12:01)
  • “I don’t look at Ghost 3 and I’m like, oh man, I need Ghost 3. … If they’re able to find something new, [then maybe].” – Snowbike Mike (23:42)

Bluepoint’s Cancelled Game and Remake Future

(Main Discussion: 26:31–38:18)

• News: Bluepoint is hiring for a third-person action game, after reports their live-service God of War game was cancelled.
• Panel Hot Takes:
  • Blessing:

    “A Sony third person action adventure game. You don’t say, come on.” (27:30)

  • Snowbike Mike:

    “Why was Bluepoint…making a God of War live service game? … It was a dumb idea.” (29:06–29:50)

  • Both hosts believe Bluepoint shines most as a specialty remake studio.

    “If your specialty is making the best remakes in the game, fudgeing be the masters of that shit.” – Blessing (29:06)

• Remake Fatigue vs. Nostalgia:
  • Blessing notes fatigue with remakes and remasters, especially for games that aren’t “old enough,” e.g., The Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn.
  • Both agree remakes of older titles (Uncharted 1–3, Bloodborne, Ico, Sly Cooper) would be more exciting.
  • Audience sentiment: Remakes are revered (e.g., Resident Evil 4), but Sony’s overuse of recent IPs brings diminishing returns.
• Notable Quotes:
  • “Bluepoint…does this shit. And I think that’s a special talent as a studio.” (44:29)

Final Sentence: Typing Battle Royale

(Main Discussion: 45:09–51:24)

• News: Indie game "Final Sentence" presents a unique Battle Royale twist: elimination by typos while typing under pressure.
• Mike’s Take:

  “When you think of a typewriting who can type the fastest words per minute … There’s something to be said when they do it really fun and new.” (46:32)

• Personal Anecdote: Mike, self-confessed “one finger pecker typist,” talks about missing school typing class for speech therapy and now learning via games.
• Fun Moment:
  • Mike admits:

    “My wish list is an exclusive bunch.” (in response to chat promoting their solo dev project) (42:05)

  • The hosts joke about custom keyboards, making fun of cool-looking but impractical gear.

(Main Discussion: 51:34–54:55)

Welcome to Kind of Funny Games daily for Tuesday, October 14, 2025. One of your host, Blessing Abby Oye Jr. Joining me is the master of hype, Snowbike Mike Blessing.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

What's good? Nice to see you After a fun wedding. You split your pants so you cut it up on the dance floor. Yep, I know that. How are you?

[Snowbike Mike]

I'm doing well. It was a very fun time. Congratulations of course to Janet Garcia and Isaiah for their marriage. It was a very very fun event to go to and yes, the dance floor was popping but it was One of those things where I wore my favorite pair of dress pants. I was getting compliments on it. Textured dress pants. I love it. I love them. Rip. I'm gonna get them. I'm getting fixed. I'm gonna figure out a way. But it wasn't. You know, I put out a false story a little bit. Oh. Because it wasn't even the dancing. It happened in the midst of the dancing. But what happened was a dance circle forms, right. Janice in the middle during her thing, you know, and then she finishes up, and nobody. Nobody's hopping in. So I know what I got to do.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

You got to bring the energy.

[Snowbike Mike]

I got to go. I got to bring the energy. So I go in. I like. I do my little breaking thing. You know what I mean? Like, the. The few semblances of moves that I still have from when I was 20 years old break dancing back in the day. I bust that stuff out. I get up flawless. I was like, oh, man. Okay. Nailed that. You know, no rips. No, you know, no pain in the knees. You know, I'm. I'm living. I do that. And then my favorite thing happens, Right. Another dude who also used to break dance back in the day comes out. I'm like, let's go. It's about break battle. It's going to be a battle. And as he's dancing, his phone drops out of his pocket. And I know, like, I know the. The situation here. I got to get that phone because he's going to step on it. He's going to break it or whatever. Yeah. And so I go. I bend down to grab his phone real quick. And that's where it happens. That's where I hear legitimately. I hear. I feel and hear a pop. Like, it wasn't just a tear. It wasn't just a rip. It was like. It legitimately felt like somebody had shaken up a Pepsi bottle and then opened it. It was a pop. And I was like, well, that's. I'm not dancing anymore. Now I'm gonna stand as humbly as I can, trying to make sure nobody's seeing the gigantic tear. That's my pants. But it was a really good time.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

That's great to hear. You also went to the Elden Ring concert as well.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yes. Another great time.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

We got to hear a small story about that, but we heard you had a good time as well.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, yeah, it was me, Andy. And then I didn't know they were coming, but Alana Pierce and Rahul Kohli showed up as well.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

It's a party.

[Snowbike Mike]

We went to a Hard Rock Cafe afterwards. It's a really, really fun time. I did fall asleep during the Elden Ring concert, though.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

We might have heard you were dozing just a little bit. Just a little nod.

[Snowbike Mike]

It wasn't a little bit. It was a lot of bit. I caught maybe I caught most of act one.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Okay.

[Snowbike Mike]

Act one was dope. They were making their way through essentially all the major bosses in Act 1. Act 2 is when they're getting into like more of the unique areas, right? You got fuel for stuff. You got everything else. And I swear to God, 10 minutes into act two, just knocked out. I tried my hardest.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

You're a busy man. Bless. Sometimes the music hits just right. Maybe the AC in the theater seat just hits you right there.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Good night.

[Snowbike Mike]

It was a fun one. Have you been to the Dolby Theater?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

[Snowbike Mike]

Mike, this is what I need.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Tell me.

[Snowbike Mike]

I need. I need companies. I need video game studios to get back to releasing bad video games.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Oh really?

[Snowbike Mike]

Because this is too much. Every single day I wake up and there's new eights and nines and tens.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

You didn't play enough Crime Boss Raque City.

[Snowbike Mike]

I, I need, I need more of those crime bosses. I need more. What was the really bad one that came out earlier this year?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Mind's Eye. Yeah, we got plenty of those. But I. If you want to go down, I.

[Snowbike Mike]

Need less good games.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I'll bring you over there. There's plenty of them. I'm.

[Snowbike Mike]

I legitimately, I have now booked out like this week and next week in a way where I am just playing video games. And that's it.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

Because I'm. I'm juggling like four different reviews at the same time. Of course, Hades 2 still has a closet.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I saw you last night. You see me invite you.

[Snowbike Mike]

I did. I. Dude, I got all.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I got so many invites to you.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah. Which we're gonna talk about that later also. But yeah, I was getting the invites and I almost put it down to play that, but I was also playing another review game. There's too many good games.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Too many good games, man.

[Snowbike Mike]

I know it's a controversial thing to say, but stop it.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Tomorrow Cuff Bus comes out. That's the cute jelly bear game where they're trying to break out of prison, if you remember. Very excited.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh yes, I do.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Wow. 10 player hot mics everywhere.

[Snowbike Mike]

You got your finger on pulse Mic.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I never know about trying to keep it up right now.

[Snowbike Mike]

Then after Gamescast is the kind of funny podcast, then the stream is a sponsored bus bound stream.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Get ready. Nick's going to drive a bus. It's going to be a lot of. Oh yeah, it's a great time.

[Snowbike Mike]

Is that all the. Is it just a bus simulator? Okay. Is it, Is it one of the ones?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

A multiplayer bus simulator as well. You and up to four friends can take over a city and start driving bus routes.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, that's fun.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Pretty cool.

[Snowbike Mike]

Is it? What kind of city? Like I saw a video of bus in like these mountains in Europe. I don't know which country.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Oh, you're talking about the RV1.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yes.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

Where it's like you have such a narrow like lane to kind of pass people and it gives me so much anxiety when I.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Okay, you're talking about a different one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is going to be what we're playing today. It's going to be a ton of fun. Me, Joey and Nick, your simulator crew is jumping on board. So gear up and get ready. It's going to be a fun sponsored stream on this one. I'm not going to lie.

[Snowbike Mike]

This looks way better than I thought it was going to.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

You know, this has graphics. I like this. This looks good. If you're a kind of funny member, you can get today's Greg Way. As always, thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster Delaney, the Psalm Twining. Today we're brought to you by Shady Rays, but we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's begin with what is and forever will be the Rope Report. It's time for some news. We have five stories today. Oh, Baker's do eight minutes in for the person in the Spotify comments who wants to.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

We're crushing it.

[Snowbike Mike]

Well, no, eight minutes.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Quiet. No, eight minutes is they want us.

[Snowbike Mike]

To get into the news like through at least that guy. Not everybody. It's mainly that one guy that wants us to get into the news like two minutes in.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

We're getting close then.

[Snowbike Mike]

But also, here's the thing. I wasn't gonna say it's a slow news day. We can.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I have a lot to talk about. Bless.

[Snowbike Mike]

Really. All right, let's talk about it. Story number one, Sucker Punch will remain a single project studio after Ghost of Yote. Boss suggests this is Andy Robinson at Video Games Chronicle. PlayStation's Sucker Punch studio will remain a single project developer following Ghost of Yote's release in it is suggested so fans shouldn't expect it to work on multiple franchises simultaneously soon. Speaking to VGC in a broad Ghost of yotei retrospective interview, Sucker Punch co founder and studio head Brian Fleming discussed the developer's determination to stay relatively small in AAA terms and how it'll decide its next project after multiplayer add on Ghost of Yote Legends releases next year. Quote the truth is that whatever we do next, whether it's continuing Ghost or going back to Sly, the decision is really More limited by, again, our cherishing of focus and time to iterate, which means that we really can only do one thing at a time, he said. If we're. If we were good at juggling four projects, yeah, we'd have a remaster. And let's do. And let's go do one of those and one of those and do some fan requests. That would really be popular. But we only get to do one thing, so it kind of has to be your best idea, right? And that's really clarifying. It's not like there aren't 15 good ideas, but you only get to do one. And by the way, you only get to do one about every five years. So that choice is really important. I mean, that is choosing your college and your major every five years. He continues, At 30 years. We now have employees who are kids of former employees. We have employees who weren't born when the studio was founded, he said. And you also have enough changes, from Sly to Infamous to Ghosts, that part of those changes, when they happen is that. Is that it means not just you're walking away from Tsushima, and not just that you're walking away from the actors in Tsushima, but you're walking away from the employees who have been part of the studio for the last decade because they don't want to do a game set in a historical setting. End quote. The director of Infamous series recently said he'd love to revisit the franchise one day, but suggested that no such plans are currently on the table. Mike Sucker Punch, did you play Tsushima?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

No, but I'm playing Yote.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, you are playing. Yes. Okay, well, how do these comments hit you?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

This sounds like a very rational, smart and understanding team that knows what they're about. Right? I like having a focus. I like hearing from a team that says, hey, we understand ourselves. We kind of know and understand our workflow after 30 years in the games industry, and we don't want to overdo it. We don't want to spread ourselves thin. We want to be able to give you the best polished product. And of course, we want to iterate on that also. You hear it on the flip side. Yeah, we'd love to. We got 15 different ideas. We'd love to attack them all if we could, but we're on the smaller side. That's how this studio is, and that's what we're going to be.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, I like that 1000%.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Right? No problem with this.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah. Like, not every studio needs to be working on multiple project projects at the same time, I also think that it's such a nice luxury as a video game studio to be able to be like, hey, we have the, the backing and the, you know, seemingly safety net of PlayStation so that we can spend four to five years working on one project. Have it be a thing that we're proud of. Put it out. People like it. All right, now let's like focus on the next big creative thing, right? Or like let's focus on legends. Like let's take a little break and focus on that. All right, cool. Now it's on to the next big project. Do you think we get another Ghost game?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

No, I don't think we will. I think we will move on to something different this next time around. I don't see Ghost as a trilogy. We'll call it. I know it's not the story following itself, but we'll call it a little package trilogy like we see from a lot of Sony first party titles here. I think it will just be the Duology.

[Snowbike Mike]

The Duology.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

There you go. You right there, big dog. I think we'll end after Yote here and switch gears into something different which will be exciting. Of course. A fun one to talk about is like that five to seven year road cycle, right? Of like that is a long time. Your fans are craving more. Especially when it's a single player focused game. That usually is. Hey, Blessing, here's Ghost of Yote. Blessing beats it in a week to two weeks. Maybe you chew on it for a month or two, but you're not chewing on it for five to seven years as we develop the next big thing, right? So it is a very long cycle that we've gotten ourselves into in the Triple A space. We know that that's why teams have kind of splintered off and made smaller teams within the studios to start up ramping up different projects. When one project stops, we move to the next one. This team is saying, hey, we don't do that. So it is now kind of twiddling your thumbs waiting. But they have the multiplayer project as well. That will get some time and some player usage out of it for the next couple of months. Years hopefully, right. And so you still get the sucker punch love. But if you're a die hard sucker punch fan now you go to the board and start throwing darts of like infamous. Sly has been mentioned now. Yeah, that's exciting and wild to think about what really is next here and what does maybe PlayStation 1 out of this team, right? We know the PlayStation directive, right. Is like we've Moved away from live service games, we definitely are focused on the third person, action adventure, narrative driven games that PlayStation and Sony Studios are known for. What does that look like now in 2025 when I say to you, hey, Blessing, what about Sly?

[Snowbike Mike]

Well, when you say, what about Sly? I totally understand that question. Because Sly. Sly Cooper is. Is a beloved franchise. People love Sly Cooper, right? And I do think that a modern PlayStation doesn't shy away from like a 3D platformer, you know? You know, like we have. You're coming off of Astrobot being game of the year in the year that it came out, right? Like, you're coming off of that being a major success, especially when you're talking about word of mouth and what that does. I think when I come back to who Sucker Punch is as a studio, I do then wonder and think about, is like Hooper something that you want to go back to? Has your identity changed so much that you're not the Sly Cooper Studio anymore? I think. I think PlayStation as a company will probably be thrilled if somebody would make another Sly Cooper for them. I do think that there's value in that. One of the things that sticks out to me here in the statement from Sucker Punch, right, From Brian Fleming is him talking about how when you say goodbye to Tsushima, you're not saying you're saying goodbye to the actors. You're saying goodbye to, like maybe people who preferred working on this specific type of game, right? Like it is when you're transitioning to something way different and way new. I think that is such a overall on what that structure and what that workflow looks like. And I think there's been a natural evolution for Sucker Punch. When you talk about going from Sly to Infamous to Ghost of Tsushima and Yotei, especially when talking about Infamous to Tsushima, you can kind of see the connective tissue as far as, okay, you guys are making an explorable open world action thing. Okay? All that DNA exists in Tsushima, even though this is, you know, such a evolution of what you've been doing. Yote is a sequel to Tsushima, right? And so. And it is, it is such a sequel to Tsushima in ways that feel, I think, more iterative and ground up. And I don't mean that as an insult. I just mean that is. It is what it is. I think if you're going to do something way different, if you're going to go to a Sly Cooper, that changes a lot of, like, the processes that you've already created. My prediction is that you do a new IP and it is another open world thing. Maybe it's another different historical setting thing.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Okay.

[Snowbike Mike]

I don't know where you go though.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Could you go back to an infamous then making an open world superhero esque game?

[Snowbike Mike]

I think Sly Cooper is more likely than infamous.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Really?

[Snowbike Mike]

Mainly because I don't. I think PlayStation will look at infamous and be like, why?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

We have Spider Man.

[Snowbike Mike]

You have Spider Man. You're about to have.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

We have Ratchet and Clank, we have Astrobot.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, but those are dip. Like that's just. That's just, you know, genre. I think when you're talking about a superhero video game, like PlayStation's output of Superhero video games that is on lockdown. I think you're stepping on yourself. You put out an infamous. I think it comes back to the days gone. Last was conversation when they announced days gone. Everybody was like, oh, interesting.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

More zombies.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, more zombies. We already kind of have a lot of this.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

But this guy's on a bike, this.

[Snowbike Mike]

Guy is on a bike. You're gonna look at infamous and be like, oh, but this guy shoots out electricity. Like miles kind of does that.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

But I guess, yeah, it's a fun place to be in. And like you brought up with the, you know, the team members leaving, the actors leaving. It's like a graduating class, right? Of like people are going to move on to bigger and better things. And that's what you want, right? You want to teach your young superstars the ways, the processes that you've done and say, hey, now you have the skills. You can go anywhere with them. Go off and go to a bigger, better place or stay with us. We hope to grow you. We hope to be able to do all that for you. Right? But that is the process of this of like training up these artists, teaching them the ways and then saying, hey, you can go somewhere, start your own team, you can go somewhere new and be able to take a larger role because you're capable of that now. And so yeah, who sticks around? What do you really want to do? Historical stuff. It's an interesting one.

[Snowbike Mike]

It's tough.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I don't know if I want that bless. But we'll see. It fits the portfolio well, if it's.

[Snowbike Mike]

A portfolio well, I think the question is where do you go that hasn't been gone before? Because I in the way that goes to Tsushima I think is such is so good at being that samurai, like fantasy, right? And like goes to Yoti. So good at being that we have like the American Western with Red Dead Redemption, it's like don't touch that. We've already. They've already mastered that. You know, Kingdom Come Deliverance is such like a good example of that medieval setting as well. What is a setting that also fits the vibe of what these games are at heart? Because they're more. These games are more Assassin's Creed than they are like a Kingdom Come Deliverance or even a Red Dead. Right. I think they bounce it a little bit as far as how well they immerse you into that world. But there's that checklist nature that for me speaks more toward an Assassin's Creed style of thing. And Assassin's Creed is another one that loves to jump between the different historical settings. So is there something that hasn't been touched yet?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Now what about the fun of trying something completely new? Are we so established after 30 years we're a cog in the machine of PlayStation Studios that it is too much to step out and do something completely different and new? I mean, Kill Zone all of a sudden, say, maybe it's not Kill Zone proper, but like if I wanted to do another first person shooter like a Resistance or a Kill Zone, is that too far out of the norm?

[Snowbike Mike]

I think that's a fascinating idea. I wouldn't even say like a Kill Zone or Resistance because I think that, no offense to those games, I think that's pigeonholing a little bit. Right. But I think something that's new and fresh and like I. I love Wolfenstein so much. Right. I love A Titanfall so much. I love Doom so much. And I think there's more space for games to do what those games did with first person shooter campaigns. So I think that'd be wonderful. I don't know if this team would do it. Maybe they would though. Like I do like that idea of doing something that's like outside their.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

We have one to see of right now. They have really figured out a really good formula for the multiplayer with Ghosts of Tsushima Legends and Ghosts of Yote now doing a Legends type spin off. Like they have shown that they can also do a multiplayer type situation here, a fun co op PvE. So what could you build off of that? I know we're trying to avoid live service games, but like here's a team that has shown we could make something fun, I think of games like Ghost Recon Wildlands and Ghost Recon Breakpoint, which are these four player Intimate Co Op four.

[Snowbike Mike]

I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you to say a specific game because There's Division. I do think you talk, you bring up Tsushima Legends and Yoti Legends. That's coming up. One of the things that goes to Tsushima Legends does so well is the. That like the gear and the grinding and trying to figure out like, okay, this is what my build is going to be. They did a really, really good job of that. I think the way they executed on, on those features is underrated for, you know, for what Ghost of Tsushima Legends is. I could see them taking that into something that's a bit more fully fleshed out. The one thing that, that makes me wince a little bit is I'm like, I don't need these PlayStation studios to keep on trying to do live service things. If you're going to make that type of game, I need you to mean it. Like I need it to come from the fact that you have a brilliant idea and actually believe in, believe in this creatively. I do not want it to come from the place of PlayStation. We want to make more money for the, for the company.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

You know what I mean?

[Snowbike Mike]

We want to create something that's got to be the next fortnight. We're going to make something that's going to be the next. You know, like, I don't want that. But if there are people within Sucker Punch coming off of doing the Legends games that are like, oh man, Division's not coming out and there is a space for this kind of game for us to come out and shine and really make a really good one of these, then make it. I'll be so fucking down for that.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

A really talented studio after 30 years, on to the next kind of program here and it will be exciting to see. I think they stay in their lane. Of course, as we talked about at the beginning of all of this, they'll probably stick to the single player, probably open world stuff that we're used to their bless. But it will be interesting to see. Do they go back to the old IP like infamous and sly, or is it something different? I don't think we get a Ghost three. I don't think we get a Ghost three. That's. That's my only prediction here.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, I would be so down to get something new. I. I really, I really, really enjoy Tsushima and Yotei, but I think Yotei kind of. I was watching the Skill up review of Go Sayote and I think he hit on something that I didn't know how to vocalize in my review. As far as the how well Tsushima really captured what that type of open world game is. And really, I think kind of, I don't want to say perfected it, but I think took it to a level where it's like, oh man, okay, this is the most refined version of what this could be. That's legitimately how I feel about Tsushima. And Yotei, I think has a tough task as a follow up because Yotei has the choice of being more of that or totally redefining. Redefining what it is. And it ended up being more. And that's great. That's awesome. Right? It's gotten good reviews. The audience loves it, all that stuff. But I don't really have. I. It doesn't like light my world on fire the way that Tsushima did because of that.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Right.

[Snowbike Mike]

Like, I don't look at it.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Tough task to do is right.

[Snowbike Mike]

It's a tough task to do. I don't look at Ghost 3 and I'm like, oh man, I need Ghost 3. It's like, well, I have Ghost 1 and 2 and those get the job done well enough. I don't need a ghost 3. But if they're able to find something new with it, maybe bringing in some super chats for you. Dean8149 writes in and says ghost of Tokyo, modern day or slightly future follow up to Ghost the Desmond game we never got. I kind of like that idea of like almost like a ghost of Tsushima Blood dragon.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

Okay. Okay. Spenny says Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, guys. Just got back to Canada after being in Minnesota for a week for twin sisters wedding. Much love to y'. All.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Congratulations on the twin sisters wedding. That's a beautiful thing. Celebrate in love. And of course, happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all of our best friends up north. We love you. Appreciate you. Thanks for putting up with us.

[Snowbike Mike]

Happy Thanksgiving. Ty Wilkinsville says, I love this and I love the transparency. I'll love more Infamous or a modern re envisioning of Sly. But what they're choosing continues to be bangers and I love that they know what works for them. I think that that's one of the things I really love about the studio the most is that they've made such good choices as a studio up until now. Right. As far as like the kind of projects they're making, what kind of game Tsushima is. Right. Like even coming off of Second Son and First Light, like I've only seen the upward trajectory from the studio and I think we're going to continue to get that.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah. Love the transparency, like you said. Right. Love to see behind the scenes of, like, what is the team thinking of? How does the team operate? There it all is for you.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

We're on a single track. That's what we do.

[Snowbike Mike]

This is what I'll say. Bring back Rocket Robot on Wheels. You ever play Rocket Robot? Oh, dude, I was obsessed with Rocket Robot on Wheels. That was their game. I think that was their first game.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Okay.

[Snowbike Mike]

N64, 3D platform. Okay. Okay. You play as a robot on wheels and Rocket, the first level lets you kind of like make your own roller coaster.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

That's dope.

[Snowbike Mike]

Ahead of its time.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Ahead of its time, dude. I with Rocket, 9 out of 10 on IGN.

[Snowbike Mike]

This is a good game.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Okay.

[Snowbike Mike]

How was that family video? Every other week renting Rocket, it was Rocket Wave race and Paper Mario. And let me tell you, don't rent Paper Mario because you're never gonna beat that game.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I love it.

[Snowbike Mike]

Artuo Tron, robo bartender, writes, and it says, can we pour one out for the master of neo soul? D', Angelo, Rest in power. This one broke my heart this morning.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I don't know d'.

[Snowbike Mike]

Angelo. Yeah, d', Angelo, legendary R and B artist, passed away pancreatic cancer this morning. So rest in power, d'. Angelo. Yeah, that wouldn't hurt my heart for sure. Gonders Quandor writes and says they're on Hades too. They rolled credits today at 171.9 hours.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Gondor Condor. Congratulations. That's crazy.

[Snowbike Mike]

This is Rocket Robot on Wheels by.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah, look at that. Dude. I like that. That's like Glover days back in the day on N64 for me is right, man.

[Snowbike Mike]

Let me tell you what. What resolution is this? It looks so bad.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Solid.

[Snowbike Mike]

Let's move on to story number two. Following the cancellation of its live service God of War, Sony's bluepoint is hiring for a third person action game. This is Chris Scolion at Video Games Chronicle. Sony's bluepoint Games is hiring for a new third person action game following the cancellation of his live service God of War title in January. It was reported then confirmed that Sony had canceled a live service game in development at Bluepoint as well as one in development at Days Gone developer Ben Studio. It was subsequently reported that Blue Points canceled. Life service game was believed to have been based on the God of War series. Now, as spotted by tech for gamers, the studio is hiring again and appears to be sticking to a similar genre for its next project. An ad listing for a senior combat designer role says applicants are expected to have A solid understanding of combat systems and mechanics for third person melee action experiences, as well as at least five years of professional experience in combat design. Suggesting its next game will feature such gameplay that do anything for you.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Mike, let's get the joke mic out of the way.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

A Sony third person action adventure game. You don't say, come on. I really, it always builds up in me. But of course, yeah, this sounds right on point for this team. Like Blue Point. What is next after that cancellation? What do you want from this team? And I think giving them the freedom to build an action game like this, that we probably know what is in Sony's portfolio, what they're kind of looking for, what resonates with the audience of gamers that they really attract. This seems right on point for me on this.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, I mean, I, I, I'm always on the mind with job listings now where I don't, I don't love like hard speculation off of job listings because there's a million reasons why you might be looking for people of particular skill. Maybe somebody who had that skill left the company and so you're just looking to replace that person. And you were doing that with the last God of War, you know, live service thing that you're making. And so they just happen to have those skills. So you're looking to somebody to replace that for whatever future thing you're making. That said, if I'm gonna speculate. Right. A solid understanding of combat systems and mechanics for third person melee action experiences. What's going on with Bloodborne?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Okay, so let's, let's reel it in really quick.

[Snowbike Mike]

What's going on with Bloodborne Point?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

The team that is known for some of your favorite all time remakes. Right?

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Taking those games that you love and hold so dearly and bringing them up to the next gen level and being able to play them nowadays. Right. Is this something that you go to of like, hey, let's just get back on the remaster train, or is this something of like, hey, are we giving the team the freedom now to create their own?

[Snowbike Mike]

I want Blue Point to continue to remake things.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Okay.

[Snowbike Mike]

I think it's totally okay and admirable and honestly, really fudgeing dope to have a specialty as a studio. And I think if your specialty is making the best remakes in the game, fucking be the masters of that shit. Like, I don't. Why was Blue Point. Why is Blue Point. Why were they making a God of War live service game?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I mean, you know why God of War was the hottest IP on The planet at one point when they probably made that idea. Fortnite and live service games have been all of the rage for the past 10 years. It was a match made in heaven to say, hey, make me a division, like a fortnight, like God of war multiplayer game. And everybody was like, print it from the ceiling, baby. Because it's money. Yeah, I mean, like that, you know why?

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, but it's a dumb idea. It's a dumb idea.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

In hindsight, it's a dumb idea. But if you were the penny pushers and the bean counters and the, the business man of it, you'd be like, no, like that's a brilliant idea. How do we achieve that? And then the game developers are like, it just doesn't click like that. And you're like, oh, I didn't know. My thing is just money. Right?

[Snowbike Mike]

And that's the thing, right. You need people in the room that know video games and understand video games. And I, I think the more that I've been able to think on this and talk, talk about this, right. For me it keeps coming back to the ship of Theseus. Thing of how, like, how much can you do to a God of war game before you alienate God of war fans? Do God of war fans want a live service God of war game? What does a God of a life service God of war game look like? Is it just division? Is it like what. What's a comparable, Mike, what is a third person melee action live service game? Like multiplayer one godfall? Exactly.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I mean I.

[Snowbike Mike]

Exactly.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I would push back on you of like, maybe not the live service, but like could you make a two player really grounded God of war game?

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Could you have you and I playing through and you are Kratos and I am. Maybe it's Atreus, maybe it's. Who was the lady, the badass lady with the birds and she was out in the woods? Freya.

[Snowbike Mike]

Freya, yes. Thank you.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Could you make a Kratos and Freya video game where the two of us are playing at the same time? Yes, you can now, of course, this season live service. Right. But this is a multiplayer co op experience that has not been seen in a God of war like that before.

[Snowbike Mike]

I think. But I think that's a different conversation because I 1000% agree with you. Because in that regard I'm thinking of like, I'm thinking of a split fiction and I probably wouldn't be a split.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah, Right.

[Snowbike Mike]

But I'm thinking of something that's more contained, something that's a bit more still Curated and quality and all that stuff. This article says live service. Like the reports were live service and I just don't see it.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

They had a plan of like. Also like you could point to other live service games. Diablo. Right. It could be a very similar Diablo type thing.

[Snowbike Mike]

Are you making it top down?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

What if it's a top down twin stick? What if it's an isometric but then kind of beat them up and then.

[Snowbike Mike]

I get to the thing of. Do God of War fans even fuck with that? No.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Well, they've never tried it though. At the same time that would be the counterpoint is like they've never seen something like that.

[Snowbike Mike]

Right.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

They've never experienced.

[Snowbike Mike]

If I took your favorite game and turned it to a completely different game.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Halo wars.

[Snowbike Mike]

Okay.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Halo, Spartan Assault. Right. Like we, we're talking about taking these ip, these sandboxes and letting different people play in them. Right. So like you do have to have the freedom and not the trepidation to say no at the beginning.

[Snowbike Mike]

Right.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I think our problem sometimes as gamers or from the outside looking in armchair quarterbacking is to immediately shut down the ideas instead of maybe thinking them through a little bit more of like, hey, like playing the sandbox. Here's this great ip, a live service. God of War from Blueprint. Blueprint is not taking away from Sony Santa Monica making the next God of War.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, but it is. But I do think it's taken away from Blue Point making their next great remake.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

That's. Well, that's the other counterpoint, right. It's like now you have a studio here and maybe they came to Sony or Sony came to them and that's. That idea started to form and then we saw certain cancellations with other games where it's like, hey, we're not hitting the mark here. We. Where we thought we would achieve. Let's slow down, let's stop, let's re evaluate. And they said this God of War project not good enough. Like you're saying bless. So they've canceled that. But now we get into the game of are they the remaster machine?

[Snowbike Mike]

I. And, but, and I think I.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Give me, give me five more remasters that you want. Because my worry is like you bring up bloodborne and I know the audience does too, but it's like if this team is going to be remaster only, what are the remasters? Remakes, Remake.

[Snowbike Mike]

You know what I mean?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

It's like remake remasters. We're remake. We're remaking your favorite old games.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

What are the next five that I Can at least have a Runway with. To look at this team and say, this is the right move. Focus.

[Snowbike Mike]

Uncharted one.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Uncharted.

[Snowbike Mike]

I think Uncharted one through three.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Okay.

[Snowbike Mike]

Was the one I was just thinking of. Oh, I mean, Bloodborne. Even though I don't think Bloodborne is happening, I set that at the top of this. But I genuinely don't think they're. They're doing that. I think it'd be great if they did that. But from conversations I've had with people, things I've heard, I don't. I don't think PlayStation. I think PlayStation is just too scared to touch Bloodborne. I think they respect FromSoft too much and they don't want to, like, do anything that's going to make them go, oh, we didn't like that.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

That's got to be a dollar amount. It's always a dollar.

[Snowbike Mike]

I mean, there's always a dollar. A Bloodborne remake would do fucking fantastic. And who knows, there have been. There's been the Sony, you know, them putting money into Katakawa, the parent company of FromSoftware. I know those relationships have hardened and strengthened more because of that shit. Right? So, like, maybe now they're in a place where they're like, okay, no, we feel comfortable. Comfortable enough with this process. Greenlight it, who knows? I don't know. But I'll put Bloodborne in that list. If I'm speaking personally, I don't know if it's. It's probably not a moneymaker. But I would say ICO coming off of making the remaking Shadow Colossus.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

ICO is another beloved game that's more of a critical one as opposed to like a, this is going to sell. But that would get fucking amazing reviews if Blue Point would end up remaking Eco. And I think they do a great job. What else? I mean, honestly, I look at the PS2 and PS3 era, some of the.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Chats put up, there's a lot of.

[Snowbike Mike]

Platformers like Sly Cooper, literally, like, if you went back and remade the Sly Cooper games or remade the older Ratchet and Clank games or whatever, there is.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

A big business to tug on nostalgia and remake some of your favorite old titles, for sure. And to have a very talented studio like this, I think your first move would be Bloodborne. Like the first one. The first conversation in the room is like, whatever it is, we have to do Bloodborne, let's figure it out. That's the biggest moneymaker. Because the catch is, is like, these remakes as great as they are. And like, the nostalgia pull, are they the biggest selling things on planet Earth? Are they at the end of the year?

[Snowbike Mike]

Like, if you're.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I mean, to keep this whole studio employed. Yeah. And to prove to the bean counters that, like, this is the plan.

[Snowbike Mike]

Right.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Like, Bloodborne sells mega. That's great. But like, the next. The next one still has to be good to pro, like, profitable. We can't just have Mrs. Well, just to say, like, we're bolstering the. The collection of old remakes.

[Snowbike Mike]

Like, what are we saying that Shadow Colossus and Demon Souls did?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Right.

[Snowbike Mike]

I assume those did fine for them. And I think if you continue on, like, if you remade uncharted like Uncharted 1 and 2 and 3, like, I imagine those are going to do fairly well for them.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Are we not getting burnout and fatigue on these remake remasters from Sony, though? Is the Sony audience going, you've already given me Last of Us 1 and 2 part 2, part 2.5, everything together so many times that I'm getting burnt out on this. Yeah, but we still on this wheel.

[Snowbike Mike]

Well, you're coming back to remasters like Last of Us Part two was a remaster. Last of this Part one. I think the last of this Part one one is. I think there's some more specific scenarios where they keep remaking things slash remastering things that are just too new. Horizon Zero dawn didn't need a fucking remaster or a remake or whatever they're calling it.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Right.

[Snowbike Mike]

Like Last of Us Part one. I like it because that made. They made that game look like Last of Us Part two. But at the end of the day, yeah, there's a fatigue from that one. I think if you go back a generation prior to that, don't remake PS4 shit. I'm. I'm saying go back to the PS3. Yeah, take me back.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

There's just like, you and I both know that fatigue of, like, there's an excitement of nostalgia when you watch a Sony state of play. And then there is a fatigue of going, oh, I. We just talked about this franchise. We just.

[Snowbike Mike]

We're also talking about a. The last few years of video games where we're getting. We're getting remakes left and right and they're revered. Like, are you all going to complain about Re4 Remake? You know what I mean? Like, are we gonna complain about Silent Hill 2 remake or is this just a PlayStation?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Well, those are. It's a PlayStation thing right now. Sony's track record here is showing us old games that aren't that old.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

And trying to resell them to us. So it is a fatigue of Sony, you're not going into the deep catalog like you should. Right. There is a list, a lineup of games that you should be just diving in like Scrooge McDuck. And for some reason we're staying in the shallow.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, yeah. I agree with you there for sure.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

That's the problem. Yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

But I think, I don't think it's a Blue Point. Not a, I think that's a PlayStation problem. But Blue Point, they've always been going back in the Duffy.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

Like Demon Souls and Shadow Colossus and the stuff they're doing before that as well. Right. Like they've been giving people what they want. Continue to let Blue Point give people what they want.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I love.

[Snowbike Mike]

That's all I'm, that's all I look.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Forward to seeing what they do. The problem is now with the canceled God of War game, we are now four to five years out of whatever they're doing.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, right.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Like the problem is we've just canceled whatever they're doing and now we're resetting the table. So how far are, how far out are they really?

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, yeah. No, they're far. They're far.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Now another problem. It's like we just keep pushing it back.

[Snowbike Mike]

Mike, we're going to keep going with this show.

Stars by over 300,000 people. That's 300,001 if you include Tim.

[Snowbike Mike]

And we're back.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

And I want.

[Snowbike Mike]

I want to dive in some super chats we got in here. Tavin B. Says, sorry I'm late, but are y' all aware Sly went Open Worldish in Sly 2 and 3? I didn't know that. That's cool.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

No, I'm not a big slide guy. I never played the slide games. I bought them on my Vita. I remember, but I never played Sly Cooper same.

[Snowbike Mike]

What if we. This is my pitch for a streaming series. You can keep this for, like, years out.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

We don't.

[Snowbike Mike]

We don't have to do this anymore. But, like, I don't. I need a rhyme here because I do like Sly Guys. Blessing, Mike. The Sly guys.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I like that. Okay. You want me to work some Sly in there?

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, work. Workshop that.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Okay.

[Snowbike Mike]

But I feel like me and you going back and playing some Sly games would be. That would be cool.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I'd like to see that.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, sure.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Lakers head in the chat wrote, I just want Sly with a splinter cell type vibes. Can we do that? And yeah. I mean, like, if I was to bring back Sly, It'd be a 3D platformer, but it would be super stealth. Like, heavy stealth.

[Snowbike Mike]

Okay. Okay.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

You could see it.

[Snowbike Mike]

I don't know. I don't know what super stealth means.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

You know, like, the little robots are flying by, and it's got the camera in the front, it's got a little light cone.

[Snowbike Mike]

Okay.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

You got to avoid the light cone.

[Snowbike Mike]

Okay.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

It would be more like that kind of stuff. You know what I mean?

[Snowbike Mike]

Claw Master says, I don't think people are tired of remasters or remakes, but there's a fatigue of remaking the same game three times in a row. In a row. They say roll three times in a roll with Last of Us, which I agree with. I think that's where we're at.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

I think me and you align. I think we're.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

We very much lie.

[Snowbike Mike]

I think we're just saying different things.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I had to get the deepest out of Blessing on the conversation. You know that? Oh, yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

Bring out the best.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

That's what I do.

[Snowbike Mike]

I like a good Spar on the show. I'm Steve about video games.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I'm here to assist. Bless. He's my allstar.

[Snowbike Mike]

You know that digital saga says birthday tax. You guys make my commute. Would love. Would love for you to check out my solo dev project. No one leaves the field.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Okay.

[Snowbike Mike]

No one leaves the field. I'm going to copy and paste that birthday as well.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Was that a birthday? Happy birthday. Oh yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

Happy birthday. Digital Sagas shout out.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

We'll say blessings.

[Snowbike Mike]

Putting it on the wish list on Steam. I don't know if I listen. I got to see the game before I put on my wish list.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

All right.

[Snowbike Mike]

My wish list is an exclusive bunch. Okay. I'm on the same page. Okay. This does take place in a field. A first person folk horror game set on a cursed farm where the wheel shifts each time you enter. Search for your car keys, uncover the family's dark ritual and beware. Something ancient walks between the stalks.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Love it. Love it. Put it on there.

[Snowbike Mike]

The Darman says Sucker Punch should steal Uesop's lunch again and make the KKK revenge story they refuse to make for Assassin's Creed. They should. I don't know if they. Here's the thing. Would Sucker Punch do that or would they also be like, actually, no, we.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Don'T want to do this. You know what?

[Snowbike Mike]

I don't know.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

We're not ready.

[Snowbike Mike]

I don't trust big corporations anymore. It's to for 9,000 says they should hire Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. Just like in the film the Masterpiece or sorry. Just like in the film Masterpiece. The internship.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

You get it. You. You listen and you get it. Let's make sure Andy watches that movie. That's a great movie.

[Snowbike Mike]

Dexter Schwarzler says KF needs to take a field trip to the eventual COO. Clear. Obscure Expedition 33 concert. When it comes to LA, what are Mike's thought on thoughts on that game?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I would. Haven't played it yet. Still high on my list. That will be after kingdom come deliverance 2. I said it was expedition 33 or kingdom come deliverance 2. I went with KDC2 knows a lot of jabronis in the YouTube comments. Not giving me any notice, not giving me any love. You know what I mean? A lot of glaze. No, Cap.

[Snowbike Mike]

What are you. What are you saying right now?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

The kid in the YouTube comment knows what I'm saying.

[Snowbike Mike]

I have no idea what that he.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Knows what I'm saying to him.

[Snowbike Mike]

All right. And that is it for super chats. Let's hop in to. Oh, actually, no. We got one more that's still on topic. Jim C. Writes in and says in defense of the remasters, they often won add accessibility features into their source of revenue that helps fund these bigger games. Here's the thing. I think we keep conflating remakes and remasters and I understand, because even the video games industry conflates the two bluepoint remakes, video games, they go in, ground up, fucking make those games look fucking new. And I think that's a special talent. And I don't think that's just a, oh, we're going to make money for the next. Like, I don't think that's in the same way that you get remasters like Last of Us or whatever, whatever, to then, like, help you stay afloat and fund your next project or whatever. Blue Point is a studio that fucking does this shit. And I think that's a special talent as a studio. That's all I'm saying.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

You don't have many of them doing that. No, I mean, like, that's a special.

[Snowbike Mike]

Talent to have, which is why. Which is why I'm doing it. Yep. But also I just want that studio to do whatever they're gonna do. If they're gonna make a new game, make a new game.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

You know what they should do?

[Snowbike Mike]

What's that?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

They should call up Obsidian Entertainment and give us Fallout New Vegas full remake.

[Snowbike Mike]

Like is. That's my other thing too, because we Talked about the PlayStation games. Like Call them up if you. If you get Blue Point in the licensing game, sky's the limit for what we can bring back. Like, look at the metal. I mean, I know have Virtual Virtuous making Metal Gear games, but like, you get Blue Point on that too.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Watch out.

[Snowbike Mike]

Just saying. Watch out. Story number three. Incredibly clever new battle royale turns typos into a death sentence. This is from Claire Jackson at Kotaku. Mike, I had this one just for you.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

You're the best.

[Snowbike Mike]

Battle royales are a dime a dozen, probably cheaper. While the premise of every player for themselves in Winner Takes all makes for a good multiplayer game, it's hard to find a battle royale game that offers a unique spin on those fundamental premises. But Final Sentence sure as hell seems like it might have found a distinctive enough concept to set itself apart. Gather a bunch of players in a room and have them type as fast as they can with every typo, leading to potential elimination. Developed by Button Mash Final Sentences. Premise and setup doesn't get any simpler. Put your butt in the chair and copy the text in front of you as Accurately and quickly as possible. For every three typos you make, a masked man in a trench coat will trench coat will load a bullet into a revolver, spin the cylinder and fire it at you. If you're lucky, you can continue playing. If not, well, you're dead. The more times you trigger a spin of the cylinder, the more bullets your masked executioner loads into the gun. There's a demo available on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest. If the premise appeals to you, the game is expected to arrive in Q4 of 2025. I was minding my own business last night playing 80s. I was playing Hades 2 and also I was playing a review video game. And then I kept getting Steam notifications from Mike Play Final Sentence demo with Mike. And I was like, oh, he's streaming, isn't he? Mike, you've been playing this?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah, Bless. I am pumped up about this. I played this last night with about 29 kind of funny best friends. We were able to fill up a lobby of 40 by ourselves and then have others come in and join. And this game was a ton of fun. This is a fun take on a battle royale, which is different, new and exciting, right? It brings me back to F099 or Tetris 99 where hey, you might not like the Fortnites, you might not like battle royales in general, but there's something to be said when they do it really fun and new. And when you think of a typewriting who can type the fastest words per minute, who can have the best accuracy and type against 40 others in a very stressful environment. They say very grim look to this video game. There's a man with a mask and a six shooter revolver and about 40 desks around you with everybody head down typing and all you hear is gunshots in the distance and you get three strikes in your out. And if you mess up from incorrectly spelling or you're too slow, the guy loads up the gun, he plays Russian roulette with it and points it at you. And nothing will get you to look down at your your little typewriter letters faster than that. Your keyboard. Oh yeah, so much fun. Bless.

[Snowbike Mike]

This is what I want. I want a game jam that's squid game core. Like I want a game jam that's like here are games that would fit in the show Squid Game because that's some squid game shit.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Let's make Mario Party slash Lego Party but with like do or die like game. Yes, you know what I mean? Give me fall guys meets a very realistic, gritty, intense squid games. Ask 100 people in the lobby. We cut you down by 20 each time until it's the final challenge of five people. Come on.

[Snowbike Mike]

I like that.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

But you're like this. I've been working on my typing because as many people know, I'm a one finger each. Each hand, pecker type.

[Snowbike Mike]

No, you're not.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

That's how I type. Bless.

[Snowbike Mike]

You're not.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I know. Blessing. Back in the day, they pulled me out of typing class because I was in speech therapy.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

And so I didn't get to be a part of the typing class. I never learned how to hold on.

[Snowbike Mike]

You're in speech therapy?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah. Oh, I was in it. Third grade was when I first started speech therapy because I can't say my Rs. It's a whole thing. Don't worry about it. It's B.S. it was bullshit. So here's the deal, right? When your favorite moment in third and fourth grade, when they turn out, they bring out the big old VHS tv, they'd plug in Bill Nye the Science Guy, Magic School bus. What was the one that Drake was in? Degrassi.

[Snowbike Mike]

They were not playing Degrassi for you in school.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

They hit you with the Bill Nye the Science Guy. There'd be a knock at the door. And the speech lady, speech therapy lady would show up and she'd point me.

[Snowbike Mike]

We'Re teaching your art.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

She would pull me out of class. It was me and two other kids. And we'd sit in this tiny fucking box of a room, no windows. And we would have to just continue to work on it. And there was this little alligator game, you know, where you push the teeth down. We just play that all day.

[Snowbike Mike]

Pretty sure me and you had the same child.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

It was awful.

[Snowbike Mike]

They did the same thing.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

And so then in sixth grade, when it was, you know, this was the final year when it was ending, when we had electives and it was like, art. And then it went into, like, another one. And then one of them was typing. You're out. So I never learned how to type all these years. I type like this. I looked down. I have to look down. So now you have to look down? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I have to look at where the keys are. I'm getting better, though. I'm working on it.

[Snowbike Mike]

And so now thought about, like. Have you thought about learning, like, the correct hand placement? Because I feel like that would fix a lot.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

So I got Typing of the Dead, which is House of the Dead meets Typing. Yeah. But also the problem is I have a gamer keyboard. And that doesn't have keys on it, doesn't have the letters on it. Because it's super cool looking. Yeah. So that makes it really hard because you have to guess.

[Snowbike Mike]

Why do you have that? Why is that a thing?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

It's cool. Okay. 100 thieves sold it. I had to buy it once.

[Snowbike Mike]

I understand why they're called hundred thieves now. Because they fucking stole your money for that. That's crazy.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

So there I am learning, right? And so thanks to Typing of the Dead in this game, I'm practicing my typing and I'm trying if you want to see. The true challenge is I try not to look down. Because I want to look down. Yeah. And so I'm practicing. I'm getting better. I also lost every single round though.

[Snowbike Mike]

Somebody said ask you what your WPM was. Your words per minute.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

A. 38.

[Snowbike Mike]

38. Solid.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

That's a solid number.

[Snowbike Mike]

Is that a solid number?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Pretty solid if you. If you ask me, I don't know.

[Snowbike Mike]

What a good WPM is. I'm not checking.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

If you want to be good, you're probably anywhere from 72.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, God.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

That's good.

[Snowbike Mike]

You know what I mean? It's easy. Like you just have to have.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

The 8 is terrible.

[Snowbike Mike]

Somebody said, you see ASDF, right? You got your pinky on the A. You got your index on the F. You got your.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

Other pinky on like the semicolon and then your index on the J. Like that's kind of like your prime positioning.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

It's that T like that, you know? Then they started hitting me with semicolons. Yeah, Dashes and I don't know where the semicolon is without a key. A keyboard without the letter on.

[Snowbike Mike]

Why do you have a keyboard without the letter on it? Buy a regular keyboard.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Very cool.

[Snowbike Mike]

Buy an actual keyboard.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

It's very cool.

[Snowbike Mike]

Jesus Christ.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Send me this shit. What do we. What do we do it five years later? Send it to me.

[Snowbike Mike]

Have you ever thought about just drawing the letters onto the keyboard?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

There's gotta be someone that works there.

[Snowbike Mike]

Get a Sharpie. Send me. Golly. Story number four. Summer Game Fest 2026 dates and new venue have been announced. This is Ed Nightingale at Eurogamer.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

So that is Jeff Keighley moving his show from the YouTube Theater, which was attached to Sofi, right?

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, you're asking the wrong person.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Okay, someone let me know in the comments below. He was in the YouTube theater. I know that for sure.

Was it quite large?

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, it was big.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

How big do you think? How many people could he put in there?

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, I don't know, man. I didn't get a good look by the time we got there. By the time we got there, we were kind of late and, like, people were in our seat, and so I only.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Oh, no, they were in your seats. Yeah, they get up. No problem, though.

[Snowbike Mike]

No, we got there. We there in our seat, and we're like showing them the phone of like, hey, this is our seat. And then they showed us theirs, and we're like, okay, that doesn't seem like. That seems like an issue. So we go back and we had to get the usher. Oh, yeah. We're like, is it our wrong. We're like, no, this is. These are our seats.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

This is quite large.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

Maybe. Maybe he's going to announce a game there. It's going to get people in.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Tickets better be free if they're going to.

[Snowbike Mike]

You don't Think people are going to Summer Game Fest like that? He's. He's upgrading for a reason. They must have been selling out like crazy at the SoFi.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Unless he's doing some activations outside for half a day, either before or after, then. No, I'm not. I'm not attending that.

[Snowbike Mike]

I mean, what if. What if Jeff Keely's partnering with a radio show to give out free tickets? You know what I mean? Call in. Tell us your prediction for game of the year.

That's what they did for summer for. It was even called Game Awards. It was like the G. The G, V. A's, GX's. Okay, okay. Where they had like a post show with Tyler, the creator, and a bunch of GTA art.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I love that. I love this.

[Snowbike Mike]

But this is very exciting stuff. Mike. Sounds like it's gonna be a big year for Summer Game Fest. But if I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I need to know about, where would I go?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Bless. I take you to our last story, the Wii News Channel, where we cover all the items you need to know about.

[Snowbike Mike]

Story number five is we news from VGC. Now PlayStation. The concert has seemingly started canceling 2026 dates as well. More dates have been canceled for the troubled PlayStation concert. This time they're in Europe and so.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Troubled concert. What's troubling about this?

[Snowbike Mike]

I don't know.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

They just playing soundtracks of the video game.

[Snowbike Mike]

I was troubled because they just got canceled. You know what I mean?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Because nobody's going.

[Snowbike Mike]

I guess I was.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

That's what it's got to be.

[Snowbike Mike]

I wasn't on the show, but like I assumed.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah. Tim said his ticket's still there. They haven't officially canceled San Francisco.

[Snowbike Mike]

They probably. They probably will at some point. Yeah, he'll be next.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

They'll be next. Don't worry.

[Snowbike Mike]

Tim was saying that the show was kind of whack and so. Okay. Okay. Maybe that's it. Assassin's Creed franchise boss Mark Alexis Cote has left Ubisoft after 20 years.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Wow.

[Snowbike Mike]

The wild one.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Okay.

[Snowbike Mike]

From VGC via Noble. Capcom says it's reviewing the pricing of The Capcom Cup 12 and the SFL World Championship pay per view after fan backlash.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I could definitely see that.

[Snowbike Mike]

This is a fun one. Unko Technica, the retro poopy precision platformer splashes onto PC via Steam on November 19th. Check out the new Steam Next Fest demo out now. I saw this in my email and.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I was like, steam Neck Fest demos. Get out there, play them.

[Snowbike Mike]

It's Steam Next Fest. Because there's always a fest on Steam, which is a great thing. But also, Kevin, if you can pull up, I have, like, the link to the trailer for Unko Technica. Because in my email, they sent me the email subject line, find a toilet asap. Poop platformer Unko Technica plops onto PC. And I was like, this was like.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Me in Vegas with Roger.

[Snowbike Mike]

What do you mean?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I had to poop.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, why?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Roger wouldn't let me.

[Snowbike Mike]

You didn't like, you didn't go in the hotel before?

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

No, no. I got food poisoning.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I was dying inside.

[Snowbike Mike]

Damn.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

And Roger didn't. Always being a brave boy.

[Snowbike Mike]

So as you can see, it's like a little 2D platformer. There's a butt, poop comes out.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Oh, okay. Yeah, that's cool.

[Snowbike Mike]

You gotta, like, guide the poop to the toilet. It seems fun. I don't know. I saw this in my email. It was a great way to wake up.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

It looks fun. I don't know.

[Snowbike Mike]

I don't know. And then final Wii news for you, everybody. Ladies, gentlemen and bees. It was a bug.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

This is crazy.

[Snowbike Mike]

It was a bug.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

This is crazy.

[Snowbike Mike]

If you watched our Lego party, let's play from a few weeks ago. I don't want to spoil it, but there was some. There was a big climactic moment toward the end.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

You know what? It turned out to be a very competitive and insane ending to this that you need to go check out for sure.

[Snowbike Mike]

Mike tweeted about it yesterday. He put out a tweet. I'm doing better at promoting. Nice.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I have a little sticky note that says, Mike, every single day put out one tweet about promoting something that you love.

[Snowbike Mike]

Good for you. Good for you. Mike promoted this. And then in a reply, SMG Studio.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Shout out.

[Snowbike Mike]

Well, shout out smg. They made a great game.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Great game.

[Snowbike Mike]

Except LEGO Partners Party, but it's a great game. They made Lego Party and they replied you were coaching the team for the strategic way to play.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Thank you.

[Snowbike Mike]

Great session. And sorry at Blessing Junior for the Slow roller bug.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Ah shit. A bug.

[Snowbike Mike]

It was a bug because I swear to God I clicked that shit at the perfect timing.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

I couldn't.

[Snowbike Mike]

I couldn't have pressed that button any, any, any better.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

It looked right to me.

[Snowbike Mike]

It was not right. Watch Re. Watch the video and see how quickly that jumps from eight to one.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Go over there. Run the views up on that. We've been doing a really good job of bringing the team together playing on Fridays. It's been a ton of fun. So if you love more party mode esque Friday gameplay sessions, continue to comment down in those videos. Let Tim know we love getting to get play games together.

[Snowbike Mike]

Mike, I want that run back. All right. Oh, I'd love and I need that run back lego party because I can't go out that way. That was fucked up. I should have won spoilers. And that is it for we news. Forget out of here. Let's take another look at super chats for you. Kyle the buff says 110wpm. Here get good stomach.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Wow. 110 is crazy.

[Snowbike Mike]

That's why.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Holy shit. I'd be pecking away if I'd get one.

[Snowbike Mike]

I'll. I'll test my WP and how long does it take? Just a minute.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Seconds.

[Snowbike Mike]

Okay.

[Blessing Abby Oye Jr.]

Yeah, yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]
