Transcript

[Andy]

Today's stories include our predictions for Tomorrow's Pokemon Presents. Battlefield 6's official title might have been leaked and a big update for Xbox cloud games. We'll have all this and more because this is kinda Funny Games Daily. Good morning gamers. Welcome to Kind of Funny Games daily for Monday, July 21, 2025. I am Andy and I'm joined by Snowbike Mike.

[Snowbike Mike]

Good morning Andy. Happy Monday. How are you today?

[Andy]

I'm doing fantastic, Mike. You know, couldn't help but notice a lot of unaccounted four hours this weekend, Andy.

[Snowbike Mike]

I took my beautiful talents up to South Lake Tahoe, jumped in the water, played some Donkey Kong on the Switch. You know, still waiting on my Switch 2 accessories, bought some bags, bought some travel goodies.

[Andy]

From where?

[Snowbike Mike]

Genki.

[Andy]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

Okay. You know, beat em ups, had a big Nintendo Switch 2. Here's all the accessories at launch video and I was influenced to go and buy purchase them. They have not arrived yet.

[Andy]

So where did you buy them?

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, about a month ago.

[Andy]

Anyway, that's not great.

[Snowbike Mike]

Well, you know, I don't have the travel. I don't have the tracking information either.

[Andy]

Was it on your seventh email that you don't.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, you know, I don't remember which email it was. But here's the thing is I ordered a sweet bag and then the other travel accessory which is the hand grip with the cool travel cover, that was a preorder until July. So I'm wondering if they are just sending both of them at the same time. But it's also, you know, almost through July. But I'm not worried about it.

[Greg Miller]

Don't be worried about it.

[Andy]

If I were to ask you, can you like, can you identify what these products are, would you even be able to do that?

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, it was a sick green cinch bag, travel bag. Super.

[Andy]

And that was. They are all Genki.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, all game go to switch to accessories. You're not on the switch to accessories. It's easier if you just go there. So they got a sick sling bag. You'll see on that one, that one in green, super cool.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Snowbike Mike]

Real stylish cyberpunk ass gap. And then on top of that if you go up, you'll see the hand grip up there. Yeah. And then you go hand grip right there. I think if you click on that there should be an option to pre order with the travel case.

[Andy]

Ah.

[Snowbike Mike]

And that said pre order until July but like you know, July 21st I.

[Greg Miller]

Have preordered things from other like different gaming sites and then ordered stuff that was already out alongside with them. And I have had that experience where they don't ship everything until the preorder item is ready. So that might be your case, Mike. But also maybe figure out which email you ordered.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, send. Nuggie says damn cinch bags in 2025. Not that cool, Andy. How cool is that bag, though?

[Andy]

You said it was cyberpunk. It just kind of looks like a bag.

[Snowbike Mike]

Let me go down to the green one then. Look at the. Look at the team photos, though. Look at the team photos of the kids wearing it.

[Andy]

Oh, okay, let me see. Let me see.

[Snowbike Mike]

Like. Oh, pretty cool vibes.

[Andy]

Well, you say. I mean, the bag doesn't really look cyberpunk, but can you send to assets the.

[Greg Miller]

The link to the bag, like.

[Andy]

Because here's the thing. He says the bag is. Is like very cyberpunk looking, but I think it's just because the girl's blue. It's really just because of the photo of the. Of these two people along with the girl with the blue hair.

[Snowbike Mike]

But like, they're cool, though, and they're.

[Andy]

Standing in front of a kind of. I don't. Maybe you could call it a cyber space window. Yeah, like, I. The bag does not look cyberpunk, though. It just looks like a bag.

[Snowbike Mike]

But like, you know, on top of the bag, I also bought some other stuff, Andy. I bought some water shoes. I'm very excited about. You know, I'm sticking. Is that where the toes are separate? No. I mean, you could get toe shoes, but no, I just got like normal kids water shoes back in the day that you'd wear. Because I'm sick of stepping on rocks because I like to climb on rocks, then jump off of them into the lake.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Snowbike Mike]

I don't like using just my toes and got a lot of cuts on my toes.

[Andy]

You ever get rock stuck in your feet?

[Snowbike Mike]

Exactly. So I've decided to look at that cool bag.

[Greg Miller]

It just looks like a bag.

[Andy]

Yeah, it.

[Greg Miller]

It's a. I wouldn't even call them cyberpunk looking, you know?

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, well, I mean, he's got a bandana, he's got some.

[Andy]

He's got some eyeshadows. He's got blue hair. It's a very cyberpunk vibe.

[Snowbike Mike]

A window full of paper. Newspapers. Like, it's cyber.

[Andy]

It's a very rundown night city look. You know what I mean?

[Snowbike Mike]

Thank you.

[Andy]

Cyberpunk looking bag.

[Snowbike Mike]

So I bought it. I was in Florida, still waiting. Also, I bought water shoes, bought another Xbox power cord. You're probably saying to yourself, Stomach. Mike, why would you buy another Xbox power cord? You have plenty of those on the trail on the travel. So I got back to my X screen this week and I left a cord up in Tahoe. Want to have one more cord in the bag so I can use that X screen anywhere.

[Andy]

That's lovely.

[Snowbike Mike]

Shout out.

[Andy]

Well, as far as your purchases go, you know I've been all in the physical switch games.

[Snowbike Mike]

I noticed that me and Roger were.

[Andy]

Talking about been loving physicals. I just love. I've always loved the boxes.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And I want to just collect my favorite little indies. But of course I got to buy the ones that are near and dear to my heart. The ones that, you know, kind of. Kind of like, you know, formulate who I am as a person. Mario Maker 2 was one of them. Saw that and so I got that sucker over the weekend really pumped about that. And I have to go into local.

[Snowbike Mike]

Game shops for those.

[Andy]

No, the mar. The Super Mario Maker 2 is just best Buy. Okay. Bought that sucker from Best Buy. Yeah, that's cool. Just to show them like a couple more purchases and maybe we'll continue doing these physical.

[Snowbike Mike]

You might be the only one. Yeah, yeah, you're doing it.

[Andy]

[Snowbike Mike]

It's a standalone dlc.

[Andy]

Standalone dlc?

[Snowbike Mike]

It's supposed to be like a challenge Tower like there's some sort of tower you're going to go up and you're going to go level by level. It's supposed to be cool.

[Andy]

At what point are we just calling that a new game?

[Snowbike Mike]

I don't know. I mean. Well, it's standalone. You. I guess you can consider it a new game sequel.

[Andy]

Like, can you.

[Snowbike Mike]

1.5.

[Andy]

Can you. So you could. It's standalone. You can play without the core RoboCop game. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

[Snowbike Mike]

You play this game jet. You like RoboCop?

[Andy]

I saw. I mean, I streamed with Nick one time as he played it. It looks fantastic.

[Snowbike Mike]

Pretty good.

[Andy]

The game looks so gorgeous. One of them Unreal Engine games. But, but. And it's just got that sort of fun tank vibe where you're not. You're kind of like unkillable. You're just walking through rooms, just shooting off heads and dicks, you know, because you could shoot people in the nuts. Like a RoboCop did. Nice little homage if you're kind of funny. Member Today's Greg way is nearly 20 minutes on Greg, Ben and Po's weekend with Donkey Kong Bonanza and some light funeral planning.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, what a mix.

[Andy]

What, did we miss something?

[Snowbike Mike]

Here's a. Here's Donkey Kong Bonanza. We're also attending.

[Andy]

Yeah. At the same time. You know, they can get kind of boring sometimes. You know, I remember my first funeral. Yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

As a small child, you know, they had a separate room for all the kids. We had a TV in there. It was more like a little play area. Yeah, it was more like, hey, we know you probably have young kids that aren't going to be able to sit through this. Like, here's a room down dedicated to them that they can play in.

[Andy]

The iPad. Kids.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah. Do they have.

[Andy]

Did they have that little thing that doctor's offices have where it's like the squiggly.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, you love that thing.

[Andy]

And you move the. The little things across all the lines.

[Snowbike Mike]

No, they had a tv, vhs. And it had the movie where they're up in the woods and the guy falls into a trap and it has the spikes that go through his legs and then there's a giant bear hunting them. Wasn't made for kids, but it was.

[Greg Miller]

Lovely movie to have.

[Andy]

Funeral.

[Snowbike Mike]

No, no. Way back.

[Andy]

It was way back in the day.

[Snowbike Mike]

I think it had that one guy.

[Andy]

Was it Jonathan Taylor Thomas with the three brothers?

[Snowbike Mike]

No, it's the old guy, the bald old guy that you love. Sean Connery, maybe? No, that might have been his name.

[Andy]

I love Andy. Noted. Sean Connery. Today or thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster and Delaney the Psalm Twining Today we're brought to you by Mood and Factor, but we'll tell you about those later. For now, let's begin with what is and fore forever will be the Rope Report. It's time for some news. We have six stories today, a baker.

[Barrett Courtney]

Dozen.

[Andy]

Story number one Tuesday's Pokemon Presents will be the longest Pokemon broadcast since 2023. This comes from the homie Jordan Midler at VGC. The runtime for the upcoming Pokemon Presents presentation has been revealed. The Pokemon company will hold a Pokemon Presents presentation on Tuesday. Although no information has been announced about the contents of the stream, we now know how long it will last. As revealed by metadata from the Pokemon YouTube channel, the stream will run for just over 24 minutes. And before we continue on, I'd like to get you all Super Chats for what do you think the what sort of predictions will be? What are your predictions? What do you think will happen? What sort of brand new announcements do you think that there will be? Let us know in the Super Chats. That makes the stream one of the longer Pokemon Presents. According to data from Serebii, the February 2025 stream was just over 19 minutes, the February 2024 stream was just under 13 minutes, and the August 2023 Pokemon Presents one was just under 35 minutes. Sere found out how to pronounce that today.

[Snowbike Mike]

Nice.

[Andy]

Nice. It's the Japanese version of Celebi.

[Snowbike Mike]

Nice.

[Andy]

Yeah. Okay. Learning a lot of things. Learning a lot of things today. This should be pretty exciting. I think if you're going to be jam packing a bunch of info into that amount of time, that we may have some maybe potentially new, exciting things to be stoked about. Mike, what sort of things do you think will be happening during this Pokemon?

[Snowbike Mike]

Unfortunately, I'm not a Pokemon guy, so this is unfortunate that I'm on today's KFGD to have to do predictions because I haven't played a Pokemon since Red, Blue and Yellow. That is my Pokemon and that's as far as I've gotten. Except for if you look at my Nintendo Switch account, my bank account, I've bought a lot of Pokemon in the day and never played them. And so yeah, I would have to kick it to you. I know you've played a little bit more than me on the recent ones, but for me, I'm just ready to settle in for 24 minutes. Really. My prediction was just to have fun and see where it goes. See If I'm interested in and Pokemon again, not any. The recent Pokemons have not captured me like they used to back in the day. And I don't know if I'll be captured this one, man.

[Andy]

I'll tell you what though, like Scarlet and Violet, I think that's something we got to go back to in preparation for Zaw. As I look back at the old directs, the old Pokemon present directs, looking at some of the smaller presentations, we have Pokemon Cafe Remix, Pokemon Unite giving. Having an update.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, they can talk about everything.

[Andy]

Yeah, these Pokemon presents.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, yeah, do a lot.

[Andy]

I thought it was just about the announcements.

[Snowbike Mike]

Pokemon Unite has something big going on right now. They're celebrating a birthday. They're giving away a free Gyarados right now.

[Andy]

So I thought you just meant like Johnny from Kentucky.

[Snowbike Mike]

The blue and the red bird, Latia and the other one. Those two are in the game as well. Joining us. Oh, Brandon, you know, keeping tabs on Pokemon Unite.

[Andy]

Yeah, but I mean, that's what I'm saying. So these Pokemon presents, Mike, they are an amalgamation of a lot of different announcements. So, you know, back when we're talking in 2024, that's when they first showed off Z last year in August, I believe, and or no, February 27, 2024 is when they first showed off Pokemon Za. Then we had an announcement for the Pokemon trading card game Pocket. When we go back to an event in 2023, August, we had announcements for Detective Pikachu returning Pokemon Horizons, which was the anime series. We had some Pokemon Go announcements. So there's always a lot of different things being thrown out there.

[Snowbike Mike]

You got me back in. You ready for this?

[Andy]

Yeah, I'm ready, Andy.

[Snowbike Mike]

I've been on a big Pokemon Snap tour. I would love to see some Pokemon Snap. Love. I don't think it's time yet, but I'd love for us to go back to that. When was the last Pokemon stadium? Can we get a new Pokemon stadium in here? Well, I love the offshoots of these games. Can we get some of that? What about that Pokemon fighting game you're talking about?

[Andy]

That Poken Po.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, Poking Poke.

[Andy]

Yeah. Cuz Masters Ex or not Master zx. Which one was it, Barrett? Was it?

[Greg Miller]

Well, this one that we're showing right here, Pokemon Champions is like, I think the. The closest you're going to get to a stadium stadium. And it seems to be like mobile and switch and stuff. This was announced earlier this year, but I don't think we've gotten any updates on it. So I feel like this is. This is the time to probably get updates on this. Probably coming next year or something like that.

[Andy]

We'll get some more updates on Pokemon TCG Pocket. This dude just has the best hair in the game. This dude got the best hair in the game. Yeah, we'll get some TCG Pocket updates. I guess I'm looking for what are the brand new big announcements. And aside from like, I think it's obvious, I think it's way too early to announce anything brand new in the core big console, you know, market, I don't think you're getting announcement for whatever the next Scarlet and Violet is because Za is the one in between. Right. Za is the newer version of Arceus. It's a. The successor to Arceus, that's why. Or Arceus or however you want to pronounce it. So yeah, this is going to be a fascinating one because to have so much time allotted for it, you got to kind of wonder what the heck are they going to be showing off here.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, I love that.

[Andy]

I have a Super chat here. $2 from mellow fellow says unite PC announcement. It's time.

[Snowbike Mike]

That would be massive.

[Andy]

Not a bad one.

[Snowbike Mike]

A Switch to update. Switch to upgrade would be nice as well.

[Andy]

Is Pokemon Unite on mobile? Because it sort of seems like one of those. It is. Okay. Just had to. Just had to verify. Yeah, I had to verify that it is. Yeah. I mean it's a fascinating one. A lot of time announced for it. We have samson with a $5 super chat says likely is a Gen 10 teaser unlikely. Classic collection on Switch impossible. Prediction. Pokemon MMO. We will probably get a release date for a Pokemon Champions too. Yeah, Pokemon Champions I believe will kind of get a massive deep dive as opposed to what was shown last time, which is just kind of a. An announcement. We're developing it. It's being worked on. But yeah, I would love to see a Gen 10 announcement. I don't know if that sort of cannibalizes any sort of hype for Za, but again, they. They are different entries. They're not. Yeah, of course they're going after Pokemon fans, but when we talk about the mainline entries, we're talking about Scarlet, Violet, Sword Shield. This will be the next one.

[Snowbike Mike]

What color, what object, what thing?

[Andy]

I would go Denny's, ihop. That's a good one.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, you make me.

[Andy]

I'll go Dakis and Flamin. Hot.

[Snowbike Mike]

That's good. That's good.

[Andy]

What are you thinking?

[Snowbike Mike]

Nexus.

[Andy]

And what's the other one? Nexus is a cool word. That's A cool word. How do you follow solar mainframe?

[Snowbike Mike]

There's always one that you're like, that's for the little brother. I'm not buying that. You know what I mean? I'm the cool one.

[Andy]

Stupid Kyle over there. Exactly. Nacho cheese and Cool ranch. Yeah, that's not a bad one. That's not a bad one. I would love to get some sort of Gen 10 teas bear. What are you feeling about it?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, the Gen 10 tease. Like maybe the smallest of teases. I know people constantly ask for remakes of Black and White or any sort of old school game getting brought to the modern consoles. I, I think that would be. Maybe we get an announcement for something for next year. Yeah, just with everything going on with, with Zai, I feel like Zod's probably the, the big one for the year.

[Andy]

I could certainly see some sort of, you know, a new, a successor to brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl remake, you know.

[Greg Miller]

But like better than that.

[Andy]

Yeah, of course. Yeah. I, I bringing it to maybe the 3Ds that we know of now or if it's just, you know, a visual overhaul of Black and White, which is often highly rated on a lot of people's rankings for the Pokemon games. Again, I don't really. I'm very similar to Mike. I beat Red, I beat Gold and then I beat Sword and Shield and Violet and, and everyone in between. I bought every one of them. I played about four to five hours of every one of them. Then I eventually just fell off. But I know that whenever I'm looking up the best Pokemon games, Black and White and Black and White two are always very, very high up there. I would love, I would love to see Gen 3 type stuff because I'm very, I know people love Gen 3 and I feel like that's the, the closest analog to me trying to chase that high of Gen 1 and 2. Will Gen 10 be switch two exclusive? Damn. CJ splits on. That's a great super chat right there. Will Gen 10 beat Switch 2 exclusive? I will. I would lean towards no.

[Snowbike Mike]

Interesting, because last week when me and Blessing spoke about Donkey Kong and kind of like the Switch mentality and Nintendo mentality, it was very much like drawing a line and you're going to jump on board. Right. And it feels like with Pokemon being one of the big, big like hey, you got to be here for that. It feels like that would be the one. But also Andy, I'm more on the side of, we put it on both because you have such a large install base on the Last one that people would buy it no matter what. But he said no. They make a pretty clear line on that.

[Andy]

Well, Pokemon and Creatures are very. They. I just. Or Pokemon Company and Creatures. Creature. Creatures. What's a dev team? Game Freak. Game Freak. That's the one. I see that the E and the A in freaking Creatures got me really, really confused there. I was trying to Google it. I was like, what the. Are you talking?

[Greg Miller]

Like, yeah, Pokemon are Creatures.

[Andy]

Oh, Creatures, Inc. Is a Japanese video game company affiliated with Game Freak and Nintendo. Okay. I was. I was. I. I was on the precipice. I was on the. I was near the surrounding area. Founded in 1995. I knew. I knew I'd seen the word somewhere. But they operate very, very differently from Nintendo. They. They are not. They are not the core Nintendo dev teams. That's why I think that you're often seeing games being put out at a fast clip and with a lower barrier of entry, a lower standard. Right. Of quality is what we're seeing with what we've seen with the last kind of couple of Pokemon games where they come out, they kind of look dookie, they don't run great. And a lot of that is because they aren't really being told by Nintendo what to do and when to release things. They kind of just work on their own in tandem with Nintendo.

[Greg Miller]

No, I could see Gen 10 being a reset point, though. Like, I could see Nintendo going to them and being like, hey, we have this new hardware. You know, the last couple of releases have not been great. We just saw that you announced a game that looked fucking amazing and ridiculous. Why aren't you making that kind of stuff for us? So I could see them drawing a hard line with Switch 2, especially, because, correct me if I'm wrong, like, you had Pokemon. Let's go. Pikachu and Eevee. You had Sword and Shield, Scarlet and Violet, and then the Arceus games. Like, you had five really big releases of, like, new Pokemon games on the Switch. I think. I think now is the time to start doing a cutoff for the next generation.

[Andy]

Do we ever see a return to the Go series? I would love it.

[Greg Miller]

I like to. Let's go. Pikachu and Eevee.

[Andy]

I would love just a remake of a 3D version of a Gold and a Silver. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

So, Mike, it was like, essentially, like, remaking Red and blue.

[Andy]

Yeah, essentially.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

But it was like the Pokemon Go mechanic, like, catching mechanics.

[Andy]

Yeah. You're not. You're not battling Pokemon to try to catch them. You just. They Pop up and you just throw a pokeball at them and. And you know, it was definitely a lot more simpler, more toned down and it's not what everybody loves, but it's still in my opinion the best looking modern art style of all.

[Snowbike Mike]

Make sure to buy, you know that I had to buy.

[Andy]

Oh yeah. It'll be in the car for sure. We have Greg Miller joining the show everybody.

[Snowbike Mike]

Pokemon super fan.

[Barrett Courtney]

If you didn't know, I'm reviewing Zophyrus.

[Andy]

Are you just saying that to kind of like will it into kind of.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean.

[Andy]

Hey, Tim's gone for the next year.

[Snowbike Mike]

What do you want me to do?

[Andy]

I don't, you know, who do you want to hear? You want to hear him say, as.

[Snowbike Mike]

Always, it's not what I wanted, but it's pretty good.

[Greg Miller]

Clap like a gorilla.

[Snowbike Mike]

Y' all are high.

[Andy]

This is coming to switch one as well.

[Snowbike Mike]

There's no way they're leaving that much.

[Andy]

Money on the table. That's what I'm saying.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, that's what we said.

[Andy]

Gen 10. Yeah, again. Yeah, again. Pokemon just. They just. I. I forget what the holy triumvirant is. I saw somebody, some people in chat mentioned the holy triumvirate of Pokemon creatures and Game Freak. But they all have their own verticals and I'm just I blank on exactly who works on what. I know like creatures is I believe just the card game and then Game freak is the game development and they all have to kind of like. I feel like like the leaders of all three meet once a month at like a. A chili or something and they just play concert. They have a. Yeah, a cold play. They have a meeting of the minds in the box up there and they just sort of all talk about exactly what's going down. So. Yeah, I don't know. We'll see. Let us know what 24 minutes is.

[Snowbike Mike]

Gonna be a good time.

[Andy]

Yeah, absolutely. Let us know what the rest of yalls predictions are in the chat. We see Reb. No, I'm sorry. Red BFR with a ten dollar Super Chat. Thank you for your generosity. Says I predict five minutes of mobile games updates, a larger breakdown of what Pokemon Champions is new Pokemon and new Pokemon forms for Legend. Za. Okay, that's true. Yeah, we did were used to getting like the Crystallion or whatever. No, that's an Elden ring. Enemy crystallization. What's that? What's that called? Chat when you just like.

[Snowbike Mike]

I thought they mega evolved.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, they make me mega evolutions in this one.

[Andy]

No, but what's the word though. There's like an actual word. Crystallize. There's a word for a chat. Terrestrialization. There we go, Samson. Terrestalize.

[Snowbike Mike]

No child's reading that.

[Andy]

Terrestrialize. Yeah, man, that shit's crazy. Yeah, I definitely think that we'll see some sort of whatever city form is, you know. You know, whenever we get these regional games we get like, I remember in sun and Moon getting the Alolan versions or whatever. So yeah, we'll probably get some sort of regional Pokemon specific ones. This is the French version. He's wearing a little beret or whatever. Exactly. This one looks like Rob Piece of bread. Yeah, exactly. Gen 10 Ts for Pokemon 30th anniversary next year. That is a good call, Red. Thank you for your super chat. We have Oscar Navato says I just want another Pokemon Mystery Dungeon with this two dollar Super Chat. I don't know what the hell those games are and I'm a. I've been afraid to say it this whole time. And I'm sure Tim's out there somewhere.

[Snowbike Mike]

Like just kind of Match three Puzzler.

[Andy]

I don't know what those games are. What do you do? You just walk around? Is it like a Zelda type? You're walking around, top down, third person. I don't know what they do. Dynamaxing is the other one. There we go. Thank you, Chad. So, yeah, I don't know. A lot of predictions right there. Let's move on to story number two. Mike, I'm need you to start this one off because I left the page to find the photo of the Genki thing earlier. Never mind, I got it. I got it right here. Story number two. Battlefield 6 is seemingly just called Battlefield 6 according to leaked packages sent to content creators that might signal a reveal from EA soon. This comes from Khan Serin at Games Radar. Who would have guessed Battlefield 6 is titled. Wait for it. Battlefield 6 according to leaked promo packages seemingly sent to some content creators. And with all the rumblings and leaks and rumors in the air, an official reveal from EA shouldn't be too far behind. Content creator doom49 posted and then quickly deleted a giant crate that publisher EA allegedly sent them. The silver package was wrapped up tight and had the name Battlefield 6 clearly printed on it. And if the post is to believe, to be believed, it would be the first time EA's officially confirmed the title of its new FPS. The whole hull blue led to speculation that EA is planning a big blowout for the new shooter sometime soon.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, snap.

[Andy]

If I was to look around the kind of funny, you know, offices and go, who is the Battlefield guy? Yeah, it's you with the Geck shirt right here.

[Snowbike Mike]

You and I. Big dog.

[Andy]

I love. No, not me.

[Snowbike Mike]

I'm not Battlefield. And I like the idea of going to Battlefield six. I think all the hardcore fans and even kind of newer fans hold on tight to Battlefield four. Right. That's kind of the goat of the series. Everyone remembers that. I think people enjoy three, and of course, we move on to five and one, and you kind of remember those. But I think four is really where it always is, and people remember that. I think you go back to six. Remember, we went battlefield 2049, and, you know, I am surprised that we're already there. Right? I'm not surprised, but I am surprised. Right. At the same time, EA pulled back a lot of teams, said, hey, we're focusing on the flagship titles. We're really going to double down on Battlefield. We're bringing, like seven different studios to this. They also had an earnings call that said this game would release. Thank you. The end of the fiscal year, which is like spring next year. So we have a pretty close window here of this game supposedly coming out. But when it comes to the title, Battlefield 6, the idea that we're around the corner from another Battlefield, that is all very exciting to me. I. I hope that it's very similar to modern day, maybe a little futuristic tech like drones. I want it to be pretty close to where we're at now. I. I pretty much want Battlefield 4. If I had it my way, we would remake. We would get as close as we could to Battlefield 4.

[Andy]

Do we got to play seven through 2041 to understand the full story, you.

[Snowbike Mike]

Have to play Battlefield Hardline.

[Andy]

Oh, God. The thing I was gonna mention to you, Mike, I know that you said, kind of surprised that we're already here.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

But it's wild to look back and, you know, Battlefield 2042 came out in November 2021. We're coming up on four years after 2021 released. You and I were there for the preview with Bruce Green waiting to play it. During the pandemic, things did not work.

[Snowbike Mike]

Didn't go well.

[Andy]

Did not go well. Service kept crashing and things like that. But it has been a long time since the last Battlefield entry, and we know that this is the one, Mike, that EA wants. 100 million.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

100 could quadrillion billion people playing this game.

[Snowbike Mike]

It'll be really interesting to see the approach. Right. They're going back to a campaign. They've talked about having all these teams on it. What is that catch though, right? We saw them with Battlefield one or five. One of those had the Ring of Fire Battle Royale. Then in Battlefield 2042 they tried to make their own mini extraction shooter, SL Battle Royale, similar to Call of Duty's Entry into. What was that one called? Not Plunder. The dmz.

[Andy]

Dmz, yeah.

[Snowbike Mike]

And so we saw them. So really my mind goes to. Well, there's the core package. There's Battlefield proper. We'll call that the Campaign we multiplayer. That's going to be the core package. Is there something else? Is there a third game mode? That is the. Hey, we're trying to compete with the Fortnites, the escape from Tarovs of the world that we see Call of Duty dip into with Warzone dmz. Of course we see other games try to say, hey, we want to be in the mix to try to pull you away from that. And when you ask for 100 million players, right. Or whatever they want to do, how do you dip into those other game franchises and, and say, hey, come over here and play that. Right? Besides just having the core first person shooter content that we Norman expect with a campaign and multiplayer, they didn't have a campaign last one. Remember that? It's kind of a big deal.

[Andy]

I don't, Yeah. I don't know if I've ever even played a Battlefield. No, I guess like Battlefield. I remember playing Battlefield 1 the world. World one one.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Did you play the Bad Company ones?

[Andy]

No. You're missing out. That was, I think that was during an era where I just wasn't gaming a whole lot because. Was that 360?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, that was like 360.

[Andy]

Yeah. I, I, I. You know, looking back at my gaming time, I was, it was, I had money for like two games and it was Red Dead 1. No, three games. Red Dead 1, Red Dead Redemption 1. Not Revolver, NBA 2K10 or whatever.

[Snowbike Mike]

And then Mass Effect 2 got some stiff competition. You know, you have games like Delta Force that are out there that are trying to capture that like large scale PvP audience that Battlefield is kind of known for. That Battlefield hasn't had in the past, what, four years since 2021 when it came out. Right. And then you have Call of Duty, which is that traditional. Hey, we're in the smaller maps, the 5v5s, the 10v10s. This is what Call of Duty's bread and butter is. Battlefield is known for battle only in Battlefield moments, those wow factor moments that you'll see in no other video game because they just know how to do it the best and they have the, the sandbox in the playground to be able to do that. There's all the tools, all, all the wild gadgets for you to do wild and cool stuff. It just comes down to a lot of like, well, the servers have to work and the game has to run properly and there has to be some sort of hook besides just 28,008 to 2012 battlefield. We're very far past that now. In today's day and age.

[Andy]

What do you think they have to do to try to bring like there's a speculation station part of me, Mike. Okay, this is like thank you, thank you. This is a very, very negative speculatory area I'm jumping into. But when we hear about, you know, the investor call, the hundred million players expected. To me this the person who's like very, very negative and pessimistic about the industry right now just because of how, how everything is right. I go the people saying that they are expecting 100 million are setting this up to fail purposely because no game has, no Battlefield's ever gotten close or you know what I mean? Like there's just, there's no chance that anything like that will ever happen and they are just prepping for an IP sell off or, or more layoffs. Like I just don't, I don't understand how that number can even get thrown out there in a serious way. I just don't know. We've seen countless games fail, Mike. We've seen countless titles try to dip into, into that bag and I don't even know. Obviously Warzone is still very, very popular, but I just don't even feel like that's where everybody is right now. Am I wrong on that?

[Snowbike Mike]

I think you have every right to, you know, worry and speculate that. I think that 100 million number is crazy. I don't know who threw that out there and why they would say that. But yeah, that's a big uphill battle to have. There is room in here, Andy. There's. I, I'm, I'll try to be the optimistic one and the, the positive one.

[Andy]

Please do.

[Snowbike Mike]

Because I do agree with you. I, I do have a lot of questions and concerns about this reality Mike, or real Mike. But I'll be the positive one here. I think there's room, I think there's an opportunity. I think you see Call of Duty right now is hitting player fatigue. In Warzone in particular as well. There's a mass audience that Just doesn't want to jump on the Call of Duty. No matter how different and innovative the campaign can be, no matter how good the Call of Duty multiplayer suite is, every single year, there's an audience out there that is yearning for something that isn't the Fortnites, that isn't Call of Duty. And maybe Battlefield can come in and fill that void. Right. Battlefield has so much going forward from Levolution and Destructible environments, large scale PvP with 64 on 64 that you see nowhere else. They have an opportunity to tell a really cool story with a campaign once again. Right. That we saw how powerful a campaign can be with the last Call of Duty. As much as people will say, oh, I'm not here for the campaign, or hey, I maybe play an hour and I fall off, there is something there of like, if you can have a really good 6 to 12 hour campaign that tells a good story, that's really fun and maybe, you know, plays a little bit on your gameplay modes and gets a little innovative. Can go a long way there. I think the bread and butter though, what you need is what is that carrot on the stick? What's the hook? Because it is not the traditional multiplayer 64 versus 64. It is not the campaign. It has to be something else. And in the day and age where we see Fortnite continue to dominate, we also look over and we see escape from Tarov and people chasing that extraction shooter DMZ like mode. I think you do have to dive into that bag and say, hey, how do we do this? And if I was Battlefield, I'd probably lean towards more of a battle royale. I would keep a traditional. I would go with a large scale map with full destructible environments. And I would put you in groups of four and I'd say, here's 300 people or whatever crazy number you can throw out there and say, this is going to be the battle royale that changes battle royales. Now a lot of people will roll their eyes at that because it's been said before, it is kind of a. A slow it down on the decline of hey, I've done this. I'm kind of bored now, but I think there is room there right now to strike while the iron's hot. If you're a true military sim, put out a battle royale that is unlike War Zone and try to get that audience that is like, I'm bored of this. I want to get off of it.

[Andy]

Yeah. Part of me thinks that, you know, if you're a hardcore Battlefield fan, you are going to be playing regardless and you are expecting the large scale control. These five zones go to point A, go to point E. C is now open whatever. And I. I just don't know if something like that can really explode in. In a way that would take people away from the other sort of right. Battle royale modes. You know. You know I. I just don't know if that's where people want to be necessarily. Remember Battle bit remasters.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yes, of course. Of course. That was a battlefield like what with cool voxel tax on that. Right. Is what they call that super low poly.

[Andy]

Yeah lots of levolution there. And that was hot for about two weeks. You know I'm looking back at again SteamDB never the end all be all right but Call of Duty right now with 55000 concurrent players only on Steam. Again this is not console. We know a lot of console players love playing on. On Call of Duty and I'm. I scroll up and God damn pubg. Battleground still number three with 296 000.

[Snowbike Mike]

Isn't that crazy?

[Andy]

It's so wild that pubg is still killing it. That should be the story we should talk about pubg.

[Snowbike Mike]

Let's. Let's go to real Mike now. Andy.

[Andy]

I've talked about this with no more optimism Mike.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, let's. Let's get down to real Mike. If this was really. If this was my call, this would have been a Star wars battlefront. We would not be doing Battlefield right now. We would have kept Battlefield on ice for another five years. We would have tried to capitalize on the Star wars market. Of course every May we see a giant player influx celebrating May the fourth be with you in the Star wars craze. But there is something to be said of like the players got bored of Battlefield. It didn't quite run right. But you know what they didn't get bored of Star Wars. Star wars and IP you can go back to and really double down. I think Star wars should have been the move here. My probably in my mind if this does fail we go to Star wars and we get a battlefront. Eventually you work and you try to get that, you know, team up again with Disney proper and all that jazz. But this would have been a battlefront if this was my move.

[Andy]

Now I don't. I do see some other sentiment on the Internet seeing Stan and Roger from American dad being playable in Call of Duty which I'm all about. I love him. I love me some American dad. But I have seen the sentiment go man, I can't wait for Battlefield, you know, like, I'm just so tired of Call of Duty, you know, running around seeing, you know, here's Cheese and Chong.

[Greg Miller]

And here's the fortnite vacation of Call of Duty.

[Andy]

Yes. The fortnite ification of the industry, really, you know, like, everything needing to have a collab, everything, every brand needing to be inserted everywhere. I, you know, if I'm going optimistic, Andy, if I'm going on the flip side and going like, andy, let's be a little positive here, I would say maybe the industry is ready for a big change like this to say, all right, let's go back to formula enough.

[Snowbike Mike]

Interesting.

[Andy]

We've seen everything, you know. Now, I only say that with a caveat that maybe a battle Royale is included, because I just don't know if this Battlefield core game mode. And again, I'm. I'm a head clicker. I love shooting. I love being on a keyboard mouse game. You know, I don't love Battlefield, but if you said, andy, we're going to do a Battlefield 6 dream, you know, I'd be there because I love just keyboard mouse shooting. However, I just really, really don't fuck with the Battlefield formula. And maybe that can turn around for a lot of people, maybe that maybe some people just haven't even been exposed to that life yet, who Maybe started gaming two years ago when Battlefield 2042 was out and haven't really had a chance to find the genre, find love for the genre.

[Snowbike Mike]

So if I was a betting man, Andy, there will be a third game mode, a battle royale or an extraction shooter. Right. It has to have that. It can't just be the true Battlefield multiplayer experience in a campaign. There's going to be a third caveat to this that's going to be big. I will push back on the fortnightification of Call of Duty because I, of course, am one of those kids that love the marijuana tags and the emblem in Call of Duty. I like when Call of Duty kind of gets, like, real life, fourth wall in it, right? And so I've enjoyed that because if you remember, one of the greatest Call of Duty commercials of all time was back in the day when they had every celebrity playing the commercial with them, and it was like, everybody's playing Call of Duty, and you're like, oh, shit. And I've loved how many of those.

[Andy]

Celebrities have been canceled by not doing.

[Snowbike Mike]

I'm sure if we could find that commercial, we would have a really good time.

[Andy]

It's like a 30 to 40% clip. I would Assume.

[Snowbike Mike]

But like I am the person who's like, oh wow, that's Nicki Minaj running around right now. That is Cheech and Chunk. I enjoy Travis Scott. My worry is like, if we're going to get into business and microtransactions and how do you push that? Right. I think generic soldier, 42, 45, 47, 48. That look like you're just a military guy that's maybe dressed in all black now or he's got the desert camo on or the snow camo just doesn't sell well. And it kind of gets boring after a while on Year five. Right. And so I, I don't know. I don't think Battlefield will be going that route anytime soon. I don't think they'll tr. They'll team up with Travis Scott or Kendrick Lamar. Right. But like, I don't think you can have one now without kind of pushing the boundaries a little bit.

[Andy]

Right.

[Snowbike Mike]

I'm sure if Battlefield 6 survives, let's say for four years, we will see one odd tie in where you're like, Mike, that wasn't true super military sim. They pushed the boundaries with something like 50 Cent is all of a sudden in it. Right?

[Andy]

Right.

[Snowbike Mike]

Okay, what's up with this? Right? They will have one push to see if it works. Right. Because Battlefield is probably the last true super military sim. Call of Duty is already stepped out of the box. So they'll try though. They have to.

[Andy]

They can do some tie in with Mountain Dew, some sort of like sponsorship like that where you see in game beverages and things of that, of that nature. I would love to see some star. I would love to see some sponsorship stuff like that. And speaking of sponsors.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh snap.

[Andy]

Welcome back. We have plenty of more gaming news to talk about around the industry. But you know, I just looked at the Steam charts and I was like, wow, my revivals number nine with 98,000 people playing on Steam only, right? Not even console. And you asked me, oh, you played it recently. How was it? And I loved it. Love my time back in Marvel Rivals. Got to play with the squad. Chris Anka, you know, he says he's gonna miss me because I won't be back in Marvel Rivals for the foreseeable future.

[Snowbike Mike]

Which you won't be back.

[Andy]

I think I will. I think I will.

[Snowbike Mike]

You don't think you'll make it a once a week thing? Hey, maybe go back. Yeah. When do you get that back?

[Andy]

I don't know. But I enjoyed playing as Jean Grey, as Phoenix. That was a lot of fun. I think she's a really fun dps. It was just, it just felt right to be back in that world. It's such a solid freaking video game. Also been playing a lot more of the altars. Yes, almost done with that sucker and today they just released their some news that they are putting out their physical merch that the altars were in the game. They're putting out like the actual jackets. And every time I see my altars with the jackets in the game, I'm like, I need that damn jacket. They're selling it. So if anybody out there has a spare $460 to help me buy this jacket, I would greatly appreciate that.

[Snowbike Mike]

Not too bad, not too bad.

[Andy]

I'm good for it. You know, if you could just loan me that, I'll get you that money right back. And also started Bonanza last night.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yes, I see you got bonanza here. Altars, some Dune Awakening.

[Andy]

What a good ass.

[Snowbike Mike]

Rivals.

[Andy]

Rivals. Fun. A lot of fun with Rival.

[Snowbike Mike]

You know it's Gary's birthday. Happy birthday with a Make sure to play Rivals with them.

[Andy]

Oh God, he likes Rivals. Oh, you're talking about rematch.

[Snowbike Mike]

Rematch, Rematch, Rematch. Thank you.

[Andy]

Yeah, you said Rivals. As if we didn't just talk about Marvels. Kind of confused by that.

[Snowbike Mike]

I was going down your YouTube channel.

[Andy]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Story number three Xbox Cloud games will soon follow you across Xbox, PS PC and Windows handhelds. This comes from Tom Warren at vgc. Microsoft is starting to test updates to the Xbox PC app and Xbox consoles that will allow cloud games to follow you across devices. A new Play History section of the Xbox PC app and Xbox Console Home UI will display cloud games as part of the recently played Titles list, and this will roam across consoles, PCs and Xbox or consoles, PCs and handhelds. Cloud playable games are now starting to show inside Play History or the library on the Xbox PC app Quote this includes all cloud playable titles, even console exclusives spanning from the original Xbox to Xbox Series X and S, whether you own the title or access it through Game Pass, explains Lily Wang, product manager of Xbox Experiences. Your recent games, including cloud ones, will soon follow you across devices, complete with the cloud powered game save. So if you played an Xbox game on your console that's not natively available on PC, it'll still show up in your recent games list, and it'll be playable through Xbox Cloud gaming on Windows. The same Play history section will appear on the main Xbox Console interface, too, which could mean we'll eventually see PC games listed here and playable through Xbox Cloud gaming. Microsoft currently uses the chips from Xbox Series X to power special server blades for Xbox Cloud gaming. Dude Blades, man. That ui.

[Snowbike Mike]

The blades, bro.

[Andy]

The Blades ui, dude. Let me reread that sentence. I just got so stoked about blades. Microsoft currently uses the chips from Xbox Series X to power Special server blades for Xbox cloud gaming. But internal emails in the FTC v. Microsoft case in 2023 revealed that Microsoft has been investigating streaming PC games over the cloud. With Microsoft moving Xbox and PC closer for its next gen consoles, I'm expecting to see Xbox cloud gaming support PC games and provide better bit rates and resolutions too. Great news right there.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, that's a small one that maybe a lot of people might just look over, might pass by, but that's just continuing to build out the ecosystem. Once it's fully out there and fleshed out and you're really in it, you will see it and enjoy that and take advantage of it. But nothing cooler than looking at your recently played list up on the front homepage and see what games you might want to jump back to. And you're playing a game on cloud via maybe your work PC or you're at your friend's house, you're like, oh, thanks for reminding me. I want to jump back to that. Forget about it.

[Andy]

Now, to continue the legacy of this tech, though, they will need employees to make these games.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, you tell me AI can't do that.

[Andy]

No, no, they will need people to make these games. So let's hope, you know, we don't hear about layoffs for another year or so. I'm going to put 200 days on the countdown.

[Snowbike Mike]

I was going to say, why don't you give me a countdown when you think you'll hear your next 200 days.

[Andy]

From today, whatever that is.

[Snowbike Mike]

Now, is this strictly from Xbox, Microsoft or hey, Google, anybody?

[Andy]

What is. What day is 200 days from now? Thinking right now?

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Current underscore date equals date time link to dot. Now, future underscore date equals current underscore date. Plus, it's just talking, but it says February 6th, 10 days before my birthday.

[Greg Miller]

Wow.

[Snowbike Mike]

Well, we'll definitely remember this.

[Andy]

What a terrible birthday I'm going to have.

[Snowbike Mike]

So is this Xbox or is this just any layoffs?

[Andy]

I would say. I would say Xbox.

[Snowbike Mike]

Okay, well, no, no, no.

[Andy]

Xbox. Oh, no. We'll definitely have other layoffs before then, unfortunately. Okay, no, yeah, that's. That would be a crazy prediction to do, but I think I, I mean, I would love to go past that 200.

[Snowbike Mike]

Okay.

[Andy]

And never see that happen. But I unfortunately think it'll be, It'll.

[Greg Miller]

Be shorter than that.

[Andy]

Ah. And you're taking the under. Yeah, that's unfortunate. But yes, again, it's great to see engineers over there doing their best to kind of make, I mean, talking about games playable on the old Xbox and you know, all that stuff is just so awesome. And I'm glad that they are kind of able to keep flexing with that way. Yeah, really, really need great for people like Greg Miller, who seems to be like, he may be maining Xbox from here on out. If this Rog, you know, Rog Ally X comes out or whatever, that'd be cool. The Xbox version. What are they calling it officially? Rog Xbox Ally X. Yeah, the Rog Ally X. I thought the Rog Ally X was the non Xbox, the upgraded version of it.

[Greg Miller]

The Rog Xbox. No, the Rog Ally Xbox.

[Snowbike Mike]

The rag Xbox Ally X.

[Andy]

Okay, Xbox.

[Snowbike Mike]

A lot of just words.

[Andy]

So the Rog Ally X is already a product. That's the higher.

[Snowbike Mike]

We gotta come up with a cooler.

[Andy]

Name, a higher end version. We Asus, we gotta just Rog out of there.

[Snowbike Mike]

Drop that.

[Andy]

Drop it.

[Snowbike Mike]

Drop that.

[Andy]

I don't want to be a part of the republic of gamers.

[Snowbike Mike]

That's gotta drop that. We gotta drop that.

[Andy]

Like Asus, I love your. When I was, let me tell you, man, working at best buy circa 2008, pandemic or, you know, real bad recession hitting, okay. People walking in just being like, can I get this for 200 off? And I'd be like, no, sorry. He'd be like, talk to a manager for me. Manager would come and be like, yeah, we got you. I'd be like, homie, you gotta like.

[Snowbike Mike]

Wheeling and feeling right here.

[Andy]

Yeah, yeah. But when Asus is on the come up, I'm like, this is where you need to be. I love Asus products, Rog. We just gotta stop with it. I just never been a fan of it. Don't love the logo, but I love their shit. Obviously I'm using one right now. I love their shit. I buy their shit.

[Snowbike Mike]

I didn't know you could barter at.

[Andy]

A Best Buy back in. During the recession, Mike, during the recession. It was like a goddamn pawn shop. It was like you were at a consignment shop. There were no rules during the. There were. Dude, there were no rules. People were walking in left and right, looking at a laptop, being like, that's the best you can do on this? And be like, well, that's this price on the sticker. And they'd be like, can you talk to a manager? Can you bring a manager over here? And dude, they Would more often than not just give it to them at like. Well, I, you know, I could probably. I could take off 80 for you. Like, all right, let's do that.

[Greg Miller]

They still do price matches for ridiculous.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah, Price matches happen. But this was just like, hey, the recession's hitting. Oh, you all are hurting. Everybody's hurting.

[Greg Miller]

We just need to sell shit.

[Andy]

Can I get this for 18 off? And people were, dude, it was crazy, man.

[Greg Miller]

Also, can we get it up on the poll? Rog? Xbox Ally.

[Andy]

X.

[Greg Miller]

Worst name for console ever.

[Snowbike Mike]

Xbox Ally. That's it.

[Andy]

I like it.

[Snowbike Mike]

That's it.

[Andy]

And the Xbox Ally Pro.

[Snowbike Mike]

Okay.

[Andy]

You know, the X or the S.

[Snowbike Mike]

Is fine, but just Xbox Ally.

[Greg Miller]

We gotta get rid of the X and S branding. That was terrible branding from the jump.

[Andy]

Yeah, it's one of those that when it happens, it feels like there wasn't a whole lot of, well, what's after that, you know? And you always gotta hope that you're still in business to keep on going. Story number four, Krafton responds to Subnautica founders lawsuit.

[Snowbike Mike]

Stop it.

[Andy]

Quote, we look forward to defending ourselves in court. Close quote. This comes from Andy Robinson at bgc. Publisher Krafton has responded to a lawsuit filed by former Subnautica leads stating that it looks forward to defending ourselves in court. If you're not familiar, we've talked about this a buttload of times. Layout, you know, or the founders are ousted, and then the founders are like, well, you're only ousting us because you don't want to give all of our devs the bonus that you all were promising us. And they're like, well, the game isn't ready. The bonus you'll only get if the game is ready and shipped and hits targets. But in the year 2025, we got delayed. It's not ready. And they're like, no, no, it is ready. Everybody's been testing it back and forth. People are fighting. It's. It's. It's a bad thing right now. But I love the drama, I love the juice. And the story goes like this. Details on the case against Krafton by the three fired Unknown Worlds executives were revealed this week after documents related to their legal action were published. CEO Ted Gill, co founder and creative director Charlie Cleveland, and co founder and technical director Max McGuire were fired by Krafton earlier this month and accused the publisher of obstructing the 2025 release plan for Subnautica 2 in order to avoid paying a $250 million earnout. In the latest statement, Krafton reiterated that its Decision to delay Subnautica 2 to 2026 was based on the quality of the game. Quote Krafton's decisions were made to ensure Subnautica 2 is the best possible game and lives up to fan expectations. A spokesperson told vgc. And when I read this mike, in the back of my mind, I go, you all better never. If you all get your way, you better never, ever release a game that isn't ready. Craft you never. If you all release a game that is under par because things are undercooked, shove it up your ass.

[Snowbike Mike]

We're going to remember that.

[Andy]

We're going to remember it. Andy will remember that. Quote Releasing the game prematurely with insufficient content, falling short of what fans expected a sequel would have both disappointed the players who are at the heart of everything Krafton does and damaged the reputations of both the Subnautica and Unknown Worlds brand quote While we are disappointed that Charlie, Max and Ted have filed a lawsuit seeking a huge payout, we look forward to defending ourselves in court. In the meantime, Crafton remains focused on what matters. Delivering the best possible game as quickly as possible to Subnautica's fans.

[Snowbike Mike]

Skin Juicy. Oh, it's getting exciting, Andy.

[Andy]

It's getting dirty. And again, so much of this is that they don't believe that Subnautica 2 was ready for early access. Again, early access is something that a lot of devs release in and sometimes when you do it, you hit it big because everybody's either super pumped for your video game already or it catches the world by storm like schedule one did or not. That peak was early access, but it's one of those games that just becomes massively hot out of nowhere on Steam. And when you are prepping for a game like this to have the founders, the former founders, say the game is ready, internalized game tests. People that have played the game have said that this game is awesome and it is certainly ready for an early access release. For Crafton to say no, it's actually not. We don't think it's up to par with our standards. And also, you know, the $250 payout won't happen if it doesn't get released this year. Now Krafton kind of reeling that back in and saying, no, no, no, the payout will still happen for the devs or whatever. That's the stuff that we care about the most. We want the devs to be paid out the most because again, the $250, the 250 million dollar payout, 10% of it was reserved for the 60, 70, 80 however many devs it was, the 90 was going towards the founders, which is kind of.

[Snowbike Mike]

That's a lot of same amount of money.

[Andy]

A lot of goddamn money.

[Snowbike Mike]

A lot of money for three people.

[Andy]

However, a lot of money. However this to me, that is, this isn't about that. This is about $25 million being given to 40, 50, 60 devs. I never know the exact number because I feel like I've read different reports. It's about that we want them to get that money. And I, I legitimately was looking so forward to this. I was like, I've been wanting to play Subnautica 1. They release a co op mod for it. I was like, oh man, Subnautica 2 is going to be co op. Amazing. This news just really, really bums me out and I hope that the devs get their way and I hope the devs get paid because that's a lot of money in a really, really shitty industry that treats the workers like garbage. I would love to see that happen.

[Snowbike Mike]

Well, we will find out because it's going to court. Keep an eye on that one.

[Andy]

Story number five Avatar Frontiers of Pandora update brings third person and new game plus modes this comes from Ryan McCaffrey at IGN, by the way. Avatar Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Easily forgotten about video game. Oh yeah, top three prettiest games released right now. You pop that sucker in on a high powered machine. It is one of the most stunning visual delights you'll ever have and I'm legitimately kind of stoked that they're still doing on it. Developer the article goes like this. Developer Massive Entertainment and publisher Ubisoft have announced that Avateer Frontiers of Pandora, the very good 2023 for first person shooter set in the titular world of Pandora in is getting another big update timed to the third anniversary of the game's launch on December 5th and the release of the third Avatar movie Fire and Ash on December 19th. That will add an optional third person perspective mode as well as a new game plus mode. Massive says it has quote, reworked animations, controls, audio and camera systems to ensure the experience feels seamless and intuitive when playing in third person perspective. Meanwhile, your inventory and skills will persist when making another run through the campaign. In new Game plus, more powerful gear will be available to put to use against more difficult enemies and you'll have a new skill tree to work with. Previous updates since Frontiers of Pandora released have added a 40 frames per second mode for consoles, the Skybreaker and Secrets of Spire story packs and revamped Hunter's Guide pretty Cool. They're still doing stuff for this video game. I think that's us. I think that's a good sign. I think more often than not you'll see large publishers easily drop and abandon a game if maybe certain numbers weren't being hit.

[Snowbike Mike]

But well, this thing, I mean Ubisoft has dropped and abandoned a couple of real good games.

[Andy]

100.

[Snowbike Mike]

So it's, it's odd that we haven't dropped this. But the only reason why we haven't dropped this is because of the movies. The popularity of that and hoping that it will get a second wind and a resurgence come the next update for the big movie that will come out eventually, the third one. So yeah, I mean you see why. But they've dropped a lot of other games that they probably shouldn't have dropped for this one here of course.

[Andy]

Well, I think massive, you know, I guess was needing to work on something. Anyway, I, to me this is good news because I feel like there's still an appetite for it and if there wasn't then I don't think that they would be doing anything with it now on the flip side, we've seen tons of things that don't get traction continue to get worked on anyway and have the question of why is this still being worked on. So maybe this is one of those situations. But I think it's a nice reminder that this game came out three years ago. That's such a long ass time ago. Yeah, getting prepped for the next Avatar movie. But legitimately I think the game is good of what I played. I think it came out just had a really, really bad time. But it's a Far Cry style game if you all enjoy that. It looks insanely gorgeous and to continue working on it and adding new modes I think is always welcome. But yeah, for real though, this game is crazy good looking and I think if you enjoy just the chaos of Far Cry games, it's just always hilarious in this game. Running around as your 9 foot tall, 10 foot tall na' Vi character and seeing a little human like a six foot tall human in the world is just like a little tiny munchkin to you. You're just like kicking them around like it's. This game brings a lot of chaos and I think it's a lot of fun. So yeah, check out that update whenever it comes out. And that is a pretty big update for a game that I didn't think would be worked on anymore, Mike. But I'm tired of all the big news and the big updates. If I wanted something Smaller say the tiniest news I need to know about where would I go?

[Snowbike Mike]

And you would go to our last story the we news channel where we cover all the small items you need to know about.

[Andy]

From this week in video games. The Chinese room who makes still wakes the deep everybody's gone to the rapture has announced its independence from former parent company Sumo Digital. The studio was brought out by management with assistance from a venture the studio was bought out by management with assistance from from a venture capital firm Atari 50 Namco legendary pack announced includes multiple versions of Atari, Pac Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Dig Dug and Xevious and multiple video interviews, photos and documents. The royal writ a lane based card game with permadeath will be released on Steam on August 7th. And Ready or Not has sold 1 million copies on console in four days. That's a lot.

[Snowbike Mike]

A lot there was. Yeah, that's fantastic for that game.

[Andy]

That's really, really damn good news. A game from a smaller developer. 1 million copies in 4 days on console is fantastic. So congrats to you all. A game I've always been kind of scared to stream because it gets a little heavy. It gets a little weird and dicey. Yes. Yeah, your cop just busted into people's.

[Snowbike Mike]

Houses and y' all get on the floor. Give me your gun.

[Andy]

Just it feels like there's just a.

[Snowbike Mike]

Lot of toe in the line.

[Andy]

You know if, if you're maybe you know it's a game that I would be so scared to never want to stream with Nick Scarpino because I feel like things would just go too far and we'd have to have a meeting about it and you know, we'd get several emails about him. Yeah, that's it for we news everybody. We will get to some your wrongs as well as some super chats. Let's get those rocking. Right now we have a super chat from Irwin Efforts talking about how they. Well, two super chats by the way, both of $10. Thank you for the generosity. That's very kind of you. Again you all keep the lights and the mics on with your support. So thank you for your super chats, your subscriptions. You have Amazon prime, you have Twitch Prime. A little behind on the video but on Xbox it won't matter what little moves they make anymore. In my opinion Microsoft is too anti consumer now. I tried it for the last six years to regain access to my hotmail account. Finally gave up earlier this year when their call center hung up on me after having me on hold for one and a half Hours. My Xbox library was big, but I'll never get access to it again.

[Snowbike Mike]

If you ever need somebody to stay on hold for you, just give me the phone, Michael. I love being on hold.

[Andy]

He loves being on hold while doing laundry at the dentist, you know.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, I'll complete about seven tasks while I'm on hold. Don't worry about it. Yeah, you know, my phone is broken, so every phone call I make has to be on speakerphone. So it's like, put me on hold, I don't care. You know, I mean, I'll just be on speakerphone.

[Andy]

Why, why don't you get it replaced?

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, I don't want to go to Verizon. A Verizon trip is a whole day experience.

[Andy]

You're right. You know, there.

[Snowbike Mike]

It's like, how am I first in the door and this is still a four hour experience?

[Andy]

It's like buying a car.

[Snowbike Mike]

It's crazy.

[Andy]

It's like.

[Snowbike Mike]

It's crazy.

[Andy]

I was gonna eat lunch and now it's dinner time. You know, I miss Johnny's baseball game.

[Snowbike Mike]

You know, like, how do I go there? And it's so long.

[Andy]

I just, you know, how do you spend money on stuff that you don't need and. And not spend money?

[Snowbike Mike]

Well, I need those water shoes.

[Andy]

What are the water shoes? You want, clearly want to talk about. Talk about the water shoes.

[Snowbike Mike]

You know what else I bought?

[Andy]

What?

[Snowbike Mike]

I'm on a. I'm on a new thing. I'll share it with you. But like, you know how, you know, you know, physical games, you know, it's pretty cool thing. I'm. I'm into something now. I'm gonna share with you.

[Greg Miller]

What's your new thing, Mikey? What'd you get into, bro?

[Snowbike Mike]

Original Xbox magazines. I'm buying them.

[Andy]

That's pretty.

[Snowbike Mike]

I'm buying a lot.

[Andy]

I like that.

[Snowbike Mike]

I'm buying a lot of them.

[Andy]

I like that. Everybody.

[Snowbike Mike]

I'm on ebay. People are writing me sellers are writing me saying, I'll give you a discount because they know I'm spending.

[Andy]

They know you have the money. Everybody's going to you. Yep. We have D. Jones with a five dollar super chat saying it's time for the hardening questions. Has anyone at Kind of Funny Games been playing the Uma Musuma game? And when did we get a stream event B. Jones. You can watch all those streams on Twitch TV and Utah YouTube.com snowmike Mike.

[Snowbike Mike]

I love that game. Have you tried it yet?

[Andy]

No.

[Snowbike Mike]

You gotta step too many games to.

[Andy]

Play a horse, girl. There's Other games that I'm really interested in that I haven't played.

[Snowbike Mike]

You have to play one night.

[Andy]

I truly don't.

[Snowbike Mike]

It is very impressive. It's a roguelike experience. You love Rog likes, okay? Because every single run's a new run. And you have to take your horse girl, you know, and train her to be the very.

[Andy]

I know the game.

[Snowbike Mike]

And like, I'm telling you, Andy, you got to devote one night, okay? It's just so much fun. They're just running, shearing, watching this girl hit that final corner, use her ultimate ability and just be able to pass others. You got to put different stats. So every single time between races, you get 10, 7, 12 days to train, okay? It's like EA Sports, okay? It's like a Madden football game. And you got to choose. Is it speed? Is it power? Is it wit? What are we going to do? Should I give her a rest?

[Andy]

What does wit have to do with it?

[Snowbike Mike]

Where is your mind? Right? So when do you use your special power? So if you don't train Witness, she won't use Boom. The Empress's call and then be able to do her special power because that.

[Andy]

Looks like such a mobile pop up.

[Snowbike Mike]

This is lit. This game. Everybody should try at least once. It's that much fun. And you gotta play.

[Greg Miller]

Everything I've learned about this game has been against my will. And this is the first time I'm actually seeing it. And nothing prepared me for what this looks like.

[Snowbike Mike]

So much fun, bro. This is great.

[Andy]

I have a great.

[Greg Miller]

They're really just running.

[Andy]

We have a great year. Wrong here from the homie Corey Cudney.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yep.

[Andy]

And this is the type of stuff I love. Says on what Creature does. Creature also makes the 3D models used in the video games. They were known as Ape Inc. They developed mother one and two, parentheses earthbound before changing the creatures in 1995. Thank you, Corey Cutting.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, that's cool.

[Andy]

And that's why you'll see some people be like, oh, the 3D models in here weren't made by Creatures. They're not as good or whatever. Like, there's always that sort of push and pull between.

[Snowbike Mike]

Now all of a sudden there's a teapot and a chandelier.

[Andy]

Well, no, that's not what I'm talking. They're not like creating Pokemon.

[Snowbike Mike]

They're not creating Pokemon because they stepped over the line. And I can't forgive them for that.

[Andy]

Andy, you're racing horse girls.

[Snowbike Mike]

You should try it. It's really great. Really great, man.

[Andy]

Christopher with a two Dollar Super Chat says. Can you please explain Tim's hair in the ad break? When the ad break hit, I went oh Tim. That was my. That's my actual word. Seeing Tim with his little hat in his. His haircut. Day hair is what we all call it. Claw Master says you've seen Loki's new outfit. Just swinging. Just swinging out there. Oh is it? Is it? We got a dangler.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy]

We got a hanger dangling.

[Snowbike Mike]

Who?

[Andy]

Loki.

[Snowbike Mike]

Tom Hiddleston.

[Andy]

Big Hog.

[Snowbike Mike]

Oh, and Marvel rival. I thought it was a Lenny situation.

[Andy]

A what?

[Snowbike Mike]

Lenny Kravitz.

[Andy]

Oh. Remember when that dong was hanging out?

[Snowbike Mike]

I thought we were like doing something. You see that dude?

[Andy]

A running track where the dong was coming out of the. Of the shorts.

[Greg Miller]

Wow.

[Andy]

Yeah. Look at that dong.

[Greg Miller]

That's crazy.

[Andy]

Hog.

[Snowbike Mike]

Wow.

[Andy]

Straight up hog. Cost of the creator with a three dollar Super Chat says it sucks that need for Speed's team was repurposed. Does.

[Snowbike Mike]

Yeah, a lot of those teams were repurposed theirs.

[Andy]

Right? It does. We have two street zero with a 20 super chat. Thank you so much for the love and support. Says game execs and players need to reset expectations. Live service games should aim for sustainable not explosive growth. 70 to 100k CCU is healthy. Chasing 100 million leaves no room to grow or evolve. I don't think they're looking for 100 million concurrence. They're just looking for 100 million period. Which is still insane.

[Snowbike Mike]

Does that make it a free to play game? Can it be free to play and survive? It just can it make the expectations if it's free to play?

[Andy]

I know we focus too much on this 100 million statement but it's just like it's the most asinine thing I've ever heard in my goddamn life. Like it's an insane thing to even throw out there. And it's clearly said by somebody who just came in from. Yeah, they're far some completely other industry who has no idea how things work. It's. It's really, really wild. Game maiden with a $2 super chat says Battlefield 6 should have a PvE mode. Like zombies. I would love that. I would love. I love pv. You know me. I love pv. I predict Game Freak announces Greg is reviewing z is a $2 super chat from Grant. That would be great man. Greg is really just putting that out there. Really just undercutting Tim. It's unfortunate. That's going to do it for you're wrong and Super Chats. Thank you everybody for watching this episode of kind of Funny games daily.
