Today's stories include Switch, two pre orders were a nightmare, Ghost of Yotei has a release date and our until dawn movie review. We'll have all this and more because this is Kinda Funny Games Daily. What is up everybody? And welcome back to kinda funny games daily. 4 April 24, 2025. I'm Roger Porny and today I'm joined by PAX East 2025's keynote speaker, Greg Miller.

[Greg Miller]

Hello, Roger. How are you?

[Roger Porny]

I'm doing great. How are you doing, Greg?

[Greg Miller]

I'm excellent. Oh, I don't know if you know, I have three stars. These were Tim stars. Technically I have seven stars. Just some would call an insurmountable game showdown lead going into the finale. Right? Seven to Tim's four now is what it is. Is that what it is?

[Roger Porny]

I mean you. Do you forget the finales, how they work?

[Andy Cortez]

I think it's three.

[Roger Porny]

Three.

[Greg Miller]

He has three.

[Andy Cortez]

Do we want to pull it up?

[Greg Miller]

I'd love you to pull it up.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Wow, there it is.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. You don't want to be team Purple though.

[Andy Cortez]

I will say that because that was pre recorded yesterday. I did accidentally show this scene earlier this week and thankfully no one noticed.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, did you? Somebody said something that they, they, somebody was like, oh, they ruined it earlier in the week. But I didn't. Yeah, that was one person.

[Andy Cortez]

It was mainly because we were focusing on Andy's one star and I forgot that this was already updated.

[Greg Miller]

It's fine. You could have just, you could have totally played it off right of just like, is this what will happen?

[Roger Porny]

How bad must it suck to be Andy? I mean, only one star and it's mine.

[Greg Miller]

I honestly think he loves being under the radar cuz he's seen what a living nightmare Stars in the bank was for Tim. And if you thought that was bad, let me tell you, last night, tucking myself into bed, doing the thing where I got a stifle. I'm like. Because I'm laughing so hard at what I'm gonna do if I win the championship. Like if you thought Stars in the bank was annoying, everybody Wait until you're part of the championship.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, you're killing that belt everywhere.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, wait till you see what I have planned already. There's some calls I need to make this city. Oh, no, you bring up Paxis. Yeah, of course I am. The Paxis keynote, it's coming up. It's coming up real fast. I had a conversation with the one, the only Ben Star today on the road. Thank you very much. Thank you. A round of applause for me and Ben Starr, if you are not familiar. They said, hey, Greg, do you want to come do the PAX east keynote? I said, sure, that'd be a lot of fun. I love PAX East. I was there for the first one and many of them until I got sick and they were first one. I was at the first PAX East. That's how old I am. We covered it for ign. It came Pax west went for a while before they did Pax East. I was like, yeah, that'd be great. And they're like, yeah, you know, you could do. We know you can talk. But we found success before with Fireside Chats where someone interviews you. And I was like, oh, that's interesting because especially coming off Chicago, especially, especially somebody who does a Greg way every day, I feel like I talk about myself a lot. And Raj, you know, again, I think the best interview I've ever had that I wasn't. I didn't do, right? Maybe the best interview, period, I don't know. But the most interesting someone's ever been talking to me is when you interviewed me during the 9th anniversary of Kinda Funny, right? Or maybe it was the launch of the studio when we did the Hot Ones episode. You had such insightful questions that I never would have gotten to on my own. And I was like, you know what? That's a way more interesting thing. So I ran through the who's gonna be a Pax east, who could be great, who knows, kind of funny, who knows me. And of course, of course, the one and only Ben Starr from Final Fantasy fame from Now Claire Obscura Expedition 33 fame from being the Balatro face guy. But Ben's gonna come interview me. So we had a call today about, like, what do we want to do and how do we want to do? And that's why you have work to do now because of course we just gave it all to you. But Ben's got a really good idea, an interesting idea for a Paxi's keynote to get to some new stuff. But they updated the Paxi schedule. Barrett can we see this please? I need to know who the fuck is writing the Paxi schedule. Cause it sounds fine. Story time with Greg Miller. Thursday, May 8, 11pm Maine or 11am Main the for a decade Greg Miller's managed to make shouting about video games into a full blown 11 person company called Kinda Funny. That's nailed it. That's true.

[Roger Porny]

That's true.

[Greg Miller]

Join us for our storytime keynote as Final Fantasy 16 and Claire obscure Expedition 33's Ben Starr interviews Greg about his 18 year career winning a game award and games journalism in general. Then parentheses. That's right, all caps. The famous one is interviewing Greg's Weird. I mean, I mean the famous one is interviewing Greg. Period weird. Period in parentheses.

[Roger Porny]

That's what.

[Greg Miller]

And then go to the next, go to the next image. It's alphabetical. But see again, why is Ben getting the first photo? You know what I mean?

[Andy Cortez]

It's alphabetical. You know, I get it.

[Greg Miller]

But I mean what the fuck? Who's writing the goddamn copy for it? And then also remember, since we're talking about PAX East, I am hosting a second panel at Paxis. I am doing the Mafia the Old country or Mafia the Old country panel. There's a little Instagram video they put out today talking about the gameplay trail on May 8th to get you ready for May 8th at 2pm When I do the panel there, we will be hosting that here on our channel. So at 11am Pacific Time when you normally would get the one, the only kind of funny gamescast, you'll in fact get this panel and then you'll get gamescast. This isn't taking the place of content, just being there for it.

[Roger Porny]

That's awesome. Yeah, I'm excited.

[Greg Miller]

Me too. Yeah, Paxis. I haven't been in a long time for pax.

[Roger Porny]

I'm excited that you actually just meet a famous person. Like that's really cool and like you can hang out with it maybe.

[Greg Miller]

How many stars does Ben Starr have?

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, he did kind of. Fuck.

[Andy Cortez]

He doesn't need him. He's so famous.

[Roger Porny]

Oh yeah, he did. Did he win that episode of Game Showdown?

[Greg Miller]

Superfluous. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who won it because you know what? Then he won me this star.

[Roger Porny]

That's true.

[Greg Miller]

This has been Star star. Get me a Sharpie.

[Greg Miller]

[Greg Miller]

I mean, it's crazy. They've been together this entire way.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

We're talking about 10 years of this game plus. Right. But I mean also the fact that then you have pre development and what was going on, how long they've been working on it and then. It's insane. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

When I started throwing links in here, I was like, this is like. This is like Regis and Kelly. I don't know who's Kelly. I don't know who does it with Kelly anymore. If Kelly even does it. Michael Strahan. Michael Strahan and Kelly. Is it Michael and Kelly? Whatever. Regis and Kathie Lee, where they just talk. It's just talking now.

[Roger Porny]

Last night, switch two pre orders went live at 9:00pm PST t midnight EST. The best coast EST.

[Greg Miller]

Don't do that. You live here now.

[Roger Porny]

I mean, well, you know, everything's based off of it, you know.

[Greg Miller]

Fell in love here.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, exactly.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Roger Porny]

That's exactly. I didn't do any of those things here.

[Greg Miller]

That's crazy. A lot of weight here.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. Greg. Yeah. Went live. Went live on Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and I think that's it.

[Greg Miller]

You nailed it.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. And then we were just all together trying to get this thing. Greg, did you get any?

[Greg Miller]

I did. I was able to finally get it on Target. Yes. I had. I don't know what happened to me, but I was cursed. Oh, where I refresh Best buy, like, as Wario 64, the goat, obviously, route of philosopher. Wario 64 is Wario put up the hey, you can join a Walmart waiting room line. I had just casually reflect fresh. Walmart was put into that line. And I was like, oh, my God, awesome. I'm here early. That's amazing. And I just left it open. And I was like, I open up my phone too, just to make make sure. Who knows how any of this works? You know what I mean?

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I was refreshing Target nonstop. Walmart was. I already said Walmart Best Buy was refreshing. They didn't have it up forever. Right. That was a whole thing. One of the many links we, I, we tossed out here was, I think it was Dan Adelman's Blue sky post of like, it's awesome to see all these sites fail in their own unique way. They're all failing us in a very unique way. It was the idea that, like, okay, cool. So I'm in the Walmart waiting room and I got there early. That's awesome. I in Target and I can see it. And I got into my cart right away. But then it was the constant fail, fail, fail of not being able. I, you know, beforehand. I spent all, you know, not night, but I spent a good enough time going through, updating payment methods, updating addresses, shipping addresses, making sure everything's locked in.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, we had the conversation at the office, like, hey, everybody do like, we got it. We got to lock in. Everybody got to update your thing, make sure you're here. And we were all doing it, so we were ready.

[Greg Miller]

And so, like, I had it all set, and then, you know, I got it into the cart in Target, and then when I finally could load the cart, it was like none of that information was there.

[Roger Porny]

Y.

[Greg Miller]

So I'm handwriting it every time, and then entering the credit card every time. And then it would fail on some other thing.

[Roger Porny]

I did one with Target where it would just not do my address right. So I had to hand type it, but it wouldn't even like the autofill.

[Greg Miller]

Would my Autofill wasn't working for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so then it was like, okay, cool. And then it just kept feeling, kept failing. Walmart's still in the waiting room. You know, I'm, I'm waiting on Best Buy to do something. They're doing jack shit. Finally, like I'm bitching about Target a bit online people. I just keep clicking the button once you get to this one part, which is where I was, and just click and click, fail, fail, fail, fail. And finally it was like, here's a confirmation.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

And I didn't get the email right away. I did get the email hours later. I was like, fantastic. Then finally at some point Best Buy was like, here's the waiting room. And I got in the waiting room for Best Buy. But around that time was whenever he's like, I got mine on Walmart, I got mine on Walmart. And you were like, yeah, you know, we're in the Walmart waiting room. Lienz says it has two minutes left. I'm like, where? I screenshot, like where are you seeing two minutes? And you screenshot it back? And I was like, I've been here for 35 fucking minutes. I've never had that pop up same. It's so like I refresh and did it and quit and came back never could get it ever again.

[Andy Cortez]

Were you in the waiting or was Leander in the waiting room like right.

[Roger Porny]

At nine, right as it happened. So what I think happened is that everybody, she was like one of the first people there. So then I gave her a time and then everybody else so I loaded.

[Andy Cortez]

In two minutes before nine. So I was like real early and I was like, yes, like I'm going to be one of the first people. And like, yeah, I never got a timer. I waited like 45 minutes. And yeah, right as I got into my thing, Walmart was essentially like shitting the bed and then was telling me that both like the bundle and the console itself was sold out. But right as that was kind of like falling apart, Best Buy I got into like opened up the line or yeah, like 9:20.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, on the dot. Which is kind of fucked up that they said it's gonna, it's gonna open up at 9. And then they're just like, oh, 920 actually at least.

[Greg Miller]

I mean my Best Buy waiting room just pinwheel forever.

[Roger Porny]

Yes.

[Greg Miller]

I went and took a shower and I left it on the toilet. Yeah, maybe that. And like, no, I just never did.

[Andy Cortez]

That was my last saving grace because like both Target was like, that never fixed for Me. No matter how many times I, like, refresh and re entered in my information, Walmart kept telling me it was sold out. And then Best Buy, I was like, all right, this is my, like, last saving grace for the night. We'll see. And then it was finally at like 10:45. They're like, it gave the little refresh. Like, I was like, it was my turn in line, but they needed me to sign in again.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

And I was like, okay. So they're like, oh, like, you know, we'll text you to give in a login code or whatever. And I send, put in my number and I never get a text. And I'm like, fuck. I like, I need to think fast. And Alyssa was already asleep. So I put in her number, got her phone and actually text her number, get that in, and then put in my card info. And then I get declined. And I'm like, what? What? And then three minutes later, you know, I'm still in my car. The time is ticking down. Right. And then I finally get a text from bank of America that's like, hey, weird activity.

[Greg Miller]

I don't know.

[Andy Cortez]

You never buy things.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

You would never want to weird. And they're like, is this cool? And I'm like, yes, please, it's cool. And then got that in and thankfully was able to get one after waiting.

[Greg Miller]

For nearly one of the things interesting. I. Because I got. So I got this target one. I eventually get the confirmation email. I'm like, okay. But obviously I want to try and everyone I could still get because I know how this is going to go. First off, we're trying to take care of you here at the office in case you didn't need it, if somebody needs it. And then it's also a thing of like, I'm sure my cousins are going to text me in three weeks and be like, man, you can't get a switch. You know, I mean, my friend back in Missouri who's got three boys who are going to want this, but doesn't understand what's going on. I eventually did get Walmart through hooker crook or whatever to do it, got it in, bought it. But then I got the email that was. Your delivery is canceled. Greg, we're sorry. Some items you ordered exceeded our quantity limit, so they had to cancel your orders.

[Andy Cortez]

Like, that's what happened. I was able to order through Walmart. I got the be confirmation delayed and then cancellation all within two seconds.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

And then this morning, Gamestop went.

[Roger Porny]

Stop.

[Greg Miller]

Went live.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

And it was that idea of like, I'm gonna just try because why not? Or whatever. And then that was. I. I put I. Blue sky. The gamestop.com is down. You know what I mean?

[Roger Porny]

Really?

[Greg Miller]

It just completely should have been. But event on the road. I was like at stoplights, as I do check the Internet and I was able to get in. What?

[Roger Porny]

You should not be doing that.

[Greg Miller]

Stop lights. I'm fine. It's got a mount. I got a mount.

[Andy Cortez]

That's how people get pulled over. That's how people get.

[Greg Miller]

I got a mount. I'm at a stoplight. I mean, you guys realize I record Greg while I. Greg way while I drive the fucking car. Anyways though, I got it down and it popped and I got it into the cart on GameStop and I got to the checkout there and then it was just like that. It was. It was like every third one would crash or whatever. And so it's like it would only accept Apple pay, but it kept crashing, crashing, crashing. And then eventually it's out of my cart, gone and just done.

[Roger Porny]

So Greg, I didn't. I didn't get one. I didn't get to. I got three. You know what I mean? Come on, everybody, let's go. And I'm gonna resell all the. No, I'm kidding. Joey gets one. Bless gets one. I get one. And Lianza got one. So I guess the Pokorny household got four of them right there. So. Yeah, no, I was locked the fuck in and this was my moment to shine. So I was gaming the system and I figured it out by the ending of it. A specific way to get Target to work. So I had the Target app going on. Yeah, the Target app for me was like. It was better in way. Was worse in ways than the. Than. Than in the browser experience. Right. Because I could get it in my cart, but I couldn't actually. Like, I would go to do ad payment and it would just load and it would die. And I couldn't. I couldn't go through.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Roger Porny]

So what I would do, I would put it into my cart through the app, then go to the computer and then check out. So I was able to do that twice in a row.

[Greg Miller]

Damn. Really? Because I had it in the cart and I was trying to check out on the app and I couldn't do that.

[Roger Porny]

I was just. Yeah, yeah. So I was just able to like. I figured it out. I was like, okay, cool, I'm in the matrix. So then I was also. Yeah, so we had one point.

[Greg Miller]

I used my Target Circle Cash or whatever. I was like, oh, really take the 20 bucks off. You know that I've shopped at Target. It's been a while, but you know that.

[Roger Porny]

Hey, come on, you know me. Come on, put me to the front of the line. Yeah. So then we had that going. We were also on Walmart. Liam, you know me. Come on, please. I love Target. We, we got through a Walmart. Lanza got hers through Walmart and then I also won through Walmart and I got, I got another one there. So yeah, I got one through Walmart, two through a Target, and then another one through Walmart.

[Greg Miller]

For Jason Schreier, Blue sky today that he was in line at GameStop. Yes. And he said there's they have 80 in this store and we, there's only 20 of us in line. Yeah. Better odds than the website.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. So last yesterday we're, I was talking to Mike and Mike was like, man, after this all shits the bed, everybody's gonna line up at the Daily City GameStop. Everyone's gonna be ready to go. And I'm like Mike, I don't think that's the time anymore. Like I don't think we're in this era where people are gonna go outside their house and wait in a line just because you can just refresh on a discord and figure out the best way to do it. Like people are that. That would be going into that line would be the people that are on that discord. So Mike actually did. Ended up getting one online and then also went to a GameStop outside and audio listener.

[Greg Miller]

We have the screenshot thanks to the subreddit. This man is insane. The only person out there, btw, Mike in his camping chair in the parking lot at GameStop. Mike, you are an insane person. I love you.

[Mike Howard]

Shout out to me and Cody. My main man Cody, number one in line right now. In line right now. Cody is in the front. I checked on him this morning.

[Greg Miller]

How many people are in line behind him?

[Mike Howard]

About 60 to 70, I would say.

[Greg Miller]

Nice.

[Mike Howard]

30 at our local GameStop available. So I don't think they're gonna sell out. Moment of at 11. I think you have a little bit of playroom here. But shout out to my main man Cody. We showed up when Roger about 10:30, 11. He said first people showed up Mike, about 5:00am I left him at about 3, 3:30.

[Roger Porny]

So Mike, what did I say yesterday that you, you gave me about. I said when did I say people would start showing up?

[Mike Howard]

You did say four to five. And I said roger, you're crazy. And Greg. Yeah, I, I Thought that we'd have a midnight launch release. I thought this would be the one, the last one. Yeah, I think they're dead. I think the midnight launch release is over.

[Greg Miller]

I think the biggest question I have for you right now is. Yeah, you checked in on Cody.

[Mike Howard]

Checked in on Cody.

[Greg Miller]

Why aren't you there right now? Man on the street, Discord, Why are you over there right now? Get the second window up here.

[Mike Howard]

Interview everybody.

[Greg Miller]

How they feeling?

[Mike Howard]

What are we excited about? Oh, my God, Greg, you're a man of the people.

[Roger Porny]

Greg just walks away.

[Greg Miller]

You have a demo now anyway, right? Yeah, he's got a demo right now.

[Roger Porny]

But yeah, shout out to Mike for doing that because that is fun. I, I've always yearned for the days that you've told me about and I've seen online of like, people would show up and be excited about this.

[Greg Miller]

CRTS.

[Roger Porny]

I remember smashing being so sad at the PS4 launcher because I, I was there at the midnight release at a Best Buy and I was like, man, I was such a deep podcast beyond fan back in the day. I was like, there has to be like a Beyond person. There has to be like deep in this. And everybody in the line is like, I'm excited for Madden. I'm excited. Like, they're just like the most normal people in the world that are not into any of this. They just want the PS4.

[Greg Miller]

They didn't know about Kelly.

[Roger Porny]

They did not know about Kelly.

[Greg Miller]

They didn't know about. I doubted. I didn't know.

[Roger Porny]

So, yeah, no, it's, I think that's dead. Like we're gonna, people are gonna be there.

[Greg Miller]

Of course say that, but there's 60 to 70 people lined up right now. Like it's still, I mean, it's a different kind of vibe. And like, I, I, I.

[Roger Porny]

This is like the biggest thing in the world.

[Greg Miller]

Like this. You have too many options. You have too many options on how to get it. And I think that's the one downside. I talked about it before we went out here. Like, I'd love that parallel universe where, yeah, it is like for some reason, online just ain't the thing. And we are broadcasting live from the parking lot right now. We've brought donuts and pizzas and we're hanging out where it's like a meet and greet, but it's all.

[Roger Porny]

I guess I want to ask that question right for you, Greg. You are a man of the people.

[Greg Miller]

Okay?

[Roger Porny]

You're old, you're a man of the people. And you also, you like that. You like you like the idea of being there and giving out the donuts and hanging out. But you also watch all your movies at home. You would like the idea of movie theaters to go away so you can just watch everything at home. So like you're leaning into the bit.

[Greg Miller]

A bit, Yes. I wish they digitally exist.

[Roger Porny]

Yes, exactly.

[Greg Miller]

I don't need movie theaters to die. Die.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. But the idea being that you like your comfort. Yeah, but you also like the idea of being with the people and hanging out. So like, where's the middle ground? Do you think this is the right way to go about this or would you?

[Greg Miller]

I mean, the thing about this is that I can't believe it's 2025 and the dot coms are still this bad at this, where it is just anarchy. Everything's melting, everything's. I'm not a backend tech person. I'm not. Just add more servers and it'll be fine. I know it's all complicated. I understand all that, but I think such a part of this is just like, I understand, don't get me wrong, every corporation's evil or whatever, but I know Nintendo and Amazon don't get along, but I think back to when I ordered the PlayStation 5 and it was just on Amazon. Click, click. Okay, it's done. You know what I mean? Like last night I had. I don't remember and maybe I'm wrong. Tell me if I'm wrong. And there was a big deal with PlayStation 5, yada yada yada, Amazon crashing or whatever. Because like last night I was very much like 8:55 my cool. I'll be done at 9:05 and I'll go play some Monster Hunter. Yeah, I'll go play some Oblivion. And then you jump cut to 9:55 on slack with you guys. I'm like, I need to fucking shower. Yeah, I'm exhausted. I don't want to wake Jen up. Showering and all this other stuff. It's just like this fucking sucks. Like I can't believe that we are still the main target in Walmart and GameStop and are just this bad at it. Like how, how can we not have a system that just. You go there and like you have the lines but they don't, don't work for me. Like what the fuck? Like how are we. What is going on? And I saw somebody early, before we went live. Obviously everybody was commiserating.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Going on about their problems here. And it was the idea of like, oh man, sneaker heads know this drama. And it's like this so this isn't like a. This is an unheard of thing. Like this exists. How do we still not have a better system of getting online and getting in line and not everything melts down to where, I don't know, your credit card information. I'm 404. I'm crashing. I'm doing this stuff.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. It's a tough one, especially with the scalpers. Right. Everyone coming in, coming in at the same time and all trying to vie for the same product. I don't. Yeah, I don't think that there is to me, at least for this. Like, I expected the worst. I expected not. I did not expect the 905. I expected the 11pm I really. Still finding.

[Greg Miller]

Again, everybody's confirming. Yeah, PS5 on Amazon was fine. So I just got so baited by that.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

What the Amazon servers can do.

[Andy Cortez]

This was my second only like midnight pre order or you know, like a pre order attempt. Right. And yeah, I remember the PS5 being like a little stressful leading into it because we didn't know. And then I remember that being like maybe a 15 minute endeavor. It was crazy.

[Roger Porny]

I have some super chats.

[Greg Miller]

I went to Costco. I was hoping just, you know.

[Roger Porny]

Oh, you went to Costco?

[Greg Miller]

I opened up the Costco window, put Switch in there. I was like, God damn.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, No, I was actually thinking about that. I was like, what if I can just get some hot dogs and just wait at a Costco really quick?

[Greg Miller]

That'd be amazing.

[Roger Porny]

Jordan Vickers super chats and says, I waited three hours in GameStop, was second in line and got my pre orders. That's exciting. That's exciting. Gold fish, boy. Leet says, my brother and I both got Mario Kart World Bundle. Hell yes. Our flow says got two online at Walmart. And I went to GameStop this morning and did it in person just in case Walmart falls through. If. If not, it goes to a friend. I love this. I love that everyone's just giving it to friends and we're hanging out, we're helping this out, you know, don't scalp the shit. Don't scalp this. Give it to me.

[Greg Miller]

I think, yeah. I mean, for our audience in particular. I remember for PlayStation 5 and maybe Switch 1 even it was the same deal of Reddit, threads, Facebook group, whatever. It wasn't like, I'm trying to flip this for a profit. As much as I have the opportunity to be here and get it, I'm gonna get it.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. Hell yeah. Poogles says, what feels better, Greg? Securing your switch or securing the Dub to the season of game Showdown.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, 100% the three stars and securing the dub for game Show. Yeah. I was very much, like, even at, like, 905 when everything was fucked, I had that thing of like, well, do I just walk away? Like, I care, but not this much. And I know y'all are gonna. I think this is before any of us had it. That's why I was so very committed where it was like, Tim needs to have one.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

You know, bless needs to have one. You need to have one. Like, I want to make sure the Nintendo Hardcore all set for this.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Like, I'm excited for Kart, but I can.

[Roger Porny]

There. You already got one. Don't worry about it. Yeah, well, you got one. You got one, you got three. Yeah, but, you know, he's already given away. I need.

[Greg Miller]

He's not even charging those people for him.

[Roger Porny]

He said, I like the idea of you. You saying that we just get all of our switches and we just show it to Tim, which, like, fuck yeah, Jim finally got them. Let us continue a little bit and talk more about. Oh, I want to bring up Daniel Ahmad on Twitter. Brings up.

[Greg Miller]

This is horrible news.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. It brings up the. The. The idea of talking about the servers, talking about everything melting down. He says all the Switch 2 bundles come with a download code. Mario kart world is 24 gigabytes. Most games come on a game key card and require a download. The Switch 2 launches globally on the same day. I am not a religious man, but I ask you all to pray for the eshop servers on June 5th. That. That, to me, was the scariest shit in the world. I was like, oh, I didn't think about that side of it.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, it's going to be very interesting on launch day to get all of our switches here and all of us be so excited. And then all of us be like, all right, whose are we using on set to play Mario Kart? Right. Everybody else, clear the fucking Runway. Get that on there. And then it's going to be. Plug it into Ethernet and hope the stream doesn't eat shit for games daily and everything else while we try to download this thing, I assume, right?

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. And who. When is. When is all this stuff going to come, right? Are we actually going to get it on that day? Is it going to be delayed?

[Greg Miller]

Exactly.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, for the Best Buy boys, we go to Sword, pick it up.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, yeah.

[Roger Porny]

I'm not a best boy.

[Andy Cortez]

So my pitch for that day, too, is maybe we delay content that day so we can go pick it up.

[Roger Porny]

Sure, I like that.

[Greg Miller]

Well, again, I think content from Best Buy.

[Roger Porny]

I like that.

[Greg Miller]

Turn on the fun Best Buy. Remember that jingle?

[Roger Porny]

No, I don't.

[Greg Miller]

That was a jingle from quite a while ago.

[Roger Porny]

And then one more thing from wario64 talking about pre orders and all this stuff. My Nintendo store US update on release date delivery. Delivery by June 5th is not guaranteed. Invite email may arrive after the Switch 2 launch. So I saw some people in the comments being like, hey, this is actually not like a new update. Like it's just kind of like whoever's in the line, you will get a link to buy it eventually. It just might happen afterwards. It wasn't like ever guaranteed guaranteed. But either way, that does suck because I feel like that should be the way that you pre order all this stuff. I feel like it should all should be through Nintendo. They have a system where we can figure out the scalpers, we can go straight to the people that actually want this console and we'll actually play it. So the way that this is rolling out is it's kind of disappointing because it seems like the lesser way to do it. It does not seem like the. The instant way to actually play this because these are the people that actually have eso. I mean ESO nso. They're actually playing the stuff. Right? It's. I don't know.

[Greg Miller]

Looking through all these super chats makes me so angry. Thank you all. So many super chats have done it. But like this one here. Albert had to help my daughter with a school project before her bedtime. I forgot about pre orders, was upset, went on best buy at $10.50. No issues for me. Get fucked, Albert. What? All right.

[Andy Cortez]

It's crazy.

[Roger Porny]

That's crazy.

[Andy Cortez]

That's crazy.

[Greg Miller]

Just Justin with an R shoved in the center. Best Buy Online went smoothly for me. No issues. Get out of here.

[Roger Porny]

Come on.

[Greg Miller]

I'm still. I could still be in that waiting room right now.

[Andy Cortez]

Reminds me of Switch one where I didn't even try to pre order. I just went into the office the next day and I was like, anybody got extras? And then the home Alexia was like, yeah, I got an extra.

[Roger Porny]

I was like, yeah, thanks for doing the work for me. I. I was so mad at Best Buy because they started kicking people from the queue. That's. That was the most frustrating thing. So I was there, 9:20 on the dot. And then we had Lance is over my shoulder watching. And then it refreshes. I'm like, oh. And then just. They just kicked me out. And they did that for a bunch of people. So that fucking sucks. Best Buy, Best buys on my shit list. But not Target because I got two of those from there.

[Greg Miller]

Mikey's got a good one here. A very sweet one. My sister in law passed away last week. Managed to get two Walmart and Target. Giving the other to her eight year old son. My nephew. He's going to be hyped. That's amazing.

[Roger Porny]

Beautiful. That's a. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I have not told Ben about this. I was trying to get Ben to go to bed because it was a swim night last night. So he's going to bed late. So I'm in the room at like 8:20.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I'm like. But it's like I knew if I mentioned this every day will be. Is the switch to here yet? Is it switched to.

[Roger Porny]

It's going to be like that.

[Greg Miller]

Oh yeah.

[Roger Porny]

So what's your plan for this? Are we.

[Greg Miller]

I'm fucked. Yeah, I'm fucked. Big time on it. Because of course SGF is that weekend. So we'll go to LA and we're going to play a bunch of games there. Which means that I can't introduce him to it on Thursday and then take it with me for the entire weekend. SGF when I'm playing on a plane. You know what I mean?

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. You have to kind of hide it.

[Greg Miller]

I think what I'm gonna have to.

[Roger Porny]

Do is do the big trench coat and just hide it.

[Greg Miller]

I would like to. And this is without talking to Jen. Yeah, I would like to maybe that week after sgf. Right. You know you get a second half of it there.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Do a thing where I pick him up early from school, you know and take him home and then we just play all day. That's awesome.

[Roger Porny]

I love that. So you're getting one switch though. Switch to you.

[Greg Miller]

I mean I would have bought two if I could have but like.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I would have done the same thing of buy two and then does anybody need one and feel it out. But I think for as hard as this has been and whatever I'm gonna keep. When Mario 64 puts up thinking this is happening, that's happening. I'm still keep trying to get them for the same reason.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

But if I ended up with two, like inevitably this. The Miller household is gonna have two switches. So it'd be easier. She. She's very much like similar vein when we're talking about it ahead of time of just like should I get one in launch? Like you'll have one. She's like I'm not going to be compelled I think to jump into anything if there is, like we can obviously pass it around, you know how our lives are. It's not like I'm going to be playing Switch 24 7, I'll be onto something else to review and et cetera and so on. And we'll all be playing card as a family, so that'll be fun.

[Roger Porny]

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Well, I'm sure we'll talk more about that and a lot of other stuff on the kind of funny docket. But before we do that, I'll tell you a little bit about our Sponsors.

[Greg Miller]

[Roger Porny]

Hi everybody. Greg Miller got so mad at me that I got three switches that he left the show. It's just going to be a one man show today. Talking about story number two. Ghost of Yotei gets a release date.

[Greg Miller]

Leave soon to be champs back with another iced coffee. Can he do three iced coffees to match his three stars? We'll find out.

[Roger Porny]

Oh my gosh. Ghost of Yotei gets a release date. This is from Andrew Goldfarb at PlayStation.

[Greg Miller]

The Dark Night of News.

[Roger Porny]

I love it. Of course we're going to have a Gamescast after this. Talking all about our thoughts and hopes and also a trailer reaction for Ghost of Yotei. Very excited about that, the blog post reads. We are so excited to announce that Ghost of Yotei comes to PlayStation 5 on October 2, 2025. It's been nearly five years since we shipped Ghost of Tsushima and in that time we've been hard at work at making Ghost of Yotei something special. While the stories are unrelated, it's important to us to make this a worthy follow up to Jin's Journey. And we can't wait for you to experience Atsu's quest for Vengeance later this year. Today we can also reveal the pre order that pre orders for Ghost of Yotei begin next week on May 2, and you'll be able to choose between multiple different editions, including our amazing Collector's Edition. So of course they have like the Digital Deluxe Edition and a bunch of things. But I want to show off the Collector's Edition which has the cool stuff. If we can look at that for a second. You're good. You're good. I'll read a little bit about it. This package includes. First of all, it's $250.

[Greg Miller]

Jesus Christ.

[Roger Porny]

$250. Does it include the game? Let's see this packed edition.

[Greg Miller]

It does digital.

[Roger Porny]

There we go.

[Greg Miller]

You're getting the digital.

[Roger Porny]

All of the pre order bonuses all in game items from the Digital Deluxe edition and a digital copy of the game as well as replica display edition of atsu's ghost mask. The mask is built to scale with Jin's mask from our ghost Collector's edition. If you have both, they look great next to each other on a shelf and then he has the dimensions of it. But yeah, I, I, that's cool. That's cool. I, I am.

[Greg Miller]

This is, this is like, yeah, the 250 physical we're gonna be.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, here it is. Here's the intensive. I like that they have the.

[Greg Miller]

The digital Deluxe edition is just 80 bucks. So you have the 70 game base, 80 buck digital deluxe with some of the bonus content you see and then this 250 physical. If you're a psycho. Yeah, in a good way. Yeah.

[Roger Porny]

I mean, I like the mask. That's cool. Yeah, yeah. I mean, where do you stand on collector's editions? Like, are you ever like jazz in to get one, Jones in to get one?

[Greg Miller]

No. I think it's been a long, long time and chat. You could probably tell me. Honestly, you probably know better than I do. Over the last time I was like, oh my God, a physical addition because I've had so many dreams come true that then end up being like, all right, well I got this trash and I'm just, I'm not a collector. I don't need things and like things. That's why I'm always for. I've been about the digital revolution for comics and games and movies for so long. It's just like, I don't want a bookshelf full of plastic shit. You know what I mean?

[Roger Porny]

Was there a moment that changed for you? Was that like, were you like everything?

[Greg Miller]

I think I was all.

[Roger Porny]

When you were younger.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, when I was a kid. Of course I think you wanted all that. And I had a bunch of statues and Superman stuff in the bubble on is because I could just. It's all stored in my dad's attic right now. Right. And then I moved to San Francisco, lived in a shoebox, had absolutely no money, and was like, I don't want my entire DVD collection there anymore. I don't want that thing. And so I'm not yucking anybody's yums if you're the opposite way of it. But it's just that thing of like, I look at, I, it's in. There's a deep therapy session here. I Guess of just like getting anything you covet eventually is just a thing, you know what I mean? But like, me trying to get the Switch 2 will inevitably be then me playing the Switch 2 for years and years and years. How often, how little, doesn't matter, right? But it's more the fact of, like, I look at my shelf next to my units, right? And I have. I have the few statues I have and I have like a Batman, a Catwoman hush statue that I think is gorgeous, right? But I look at it, it's just like, why did I spend the 200, 300, whatever dollars it was on that statue? It's nice and I like it, but it was like you got it out of the box and I put it down and I. You know what I mean? And it's like, I guess it's a conversation too about, like, you know, how you lay out a room and this, that and the other and where you're putting things up. But it's just like, that's not something I need. So, like, video game collectors editions have always been that where it was like DC Universe Online. I can't wait for this game. Yes. I'll buy the Digital Deluxe or the collector's edition, and then I get this not great Batman statue I didn't want. And it's like on my desk at ig. Like, that was, I think, one of the big things for me of like when I came to IGN in 2007, we were working in Brisbane in a real giant office building. So everyone had these gigantic desks. You had like, privacy. We had a wall and a hutch. And you watch like old GameScoop TVs. And you see I have just Superman action figures and Ghostbusters shit and posters up. Then we moved downtown San Francisco's. And you lost those walls.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

So then it was just all right, what do you want to put on your desk? So I brought home a box of like, Superman action figures, Ghostbuster mini mates, all this stuff. It's just like. And then eventually that all went to Goodwill or got given away. And then like, to go work from home, the props became all right. They're in the spare bedroom or they're bleeding off into the living room and everything says, I don't want this crap. And like the other, the other office above the comic shop, we'd put it up on shelves. Nick would get mad at us. It's like. Like there's just nowhere for it to go. And then what joy. Is it inspiring. Now I say all this in the. I'M the guy with the full size Ghostbuster trap and pkes and proton packs. But like, that's like my one. I still do that. I'll buy whatever those collectors are gonna be. To jump back to video game collectors editions, I just think for the most part, and this is just me speaking, so much of it is there's usually maybe if best case scenario, something in a Collector's edition that I'm like, oh, that's cool.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I like that one thing, which is the nice part of this job of we get these collector's editions. I get to take that one thing and put the rest in the kitchen table and everybody takes what they want from it.

[Roger Porny]

Kind of scavengers. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

But I think, you know, for like Sucker Punch in particular, right, Like, I didn't do the Ghost of Tsushima Collector's Edition. I don't remember what was in it. Apparently a mask. I never would have wanted that. But I did do the infamous two Collector's edition. Right. They get that messenger bag that was there and that was cool, you know, but eventually it got given away. Right. Because it's not that great of a bag. I know it's like, like cool looking, but it didn't hold as much. But they always come with patches and.

[Roger Porny]

And you can never justify the price of it. Right. Like, I always, I always look at, I think it was recently the limited run of Yakuza.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Roger Porny]

Because there's such little Yakuza and like a dragon merch out there that I'm like, okay, anytime something comes, like, I need to get something and then I just, I look at that price, I'm like, I just can't justify it. You know what I mean?

[Greg Miller]

I don't.

[Roger Porny]

I. I'm the same thing with you, where I have my little areas of like, oh, I have like a little yakuza, you know, DVD or whatever. Yakuza 0 from Japan. And I have like the magazine that you guys got me, which was awesome.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Roger Porny]

But then I don't. I don't things because I honestly, my house is just full of Sunny Angels and hello Kitty merchandise. Like, you know, that is all Lianza and it's taking up the house. What?

[Andy Cortez]

Any Labubu.

[Roger Porny]

Oh, no.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay.

[Roger Porny]

But she. Yes, eventually. But no. Yeah, she's. There's been stories about people stealing Labubus off of people's persons. So it's a big.

[Greg Miller]

Can I see a Labubu? I don't know.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, let's see a little. Let's see a little. Oh, when we went to the mall where they sell the boo boos. They were out of the boo boos. I'm gonna keep on saying the boo boos. We, we walked out of the store, out of the Pop Martza. Yeah, we walked out of the Pop Marta. And then this guy just accost us and it's like, hey, you guys want some of the boo boos? I'm selling the boo boos. And I'm like, no, we're good. Please, sir, walk away from it.

[Greg Miller]

What a culture, San Francisco.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, it's incredible. It's incredible stuff.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. So no, I, I. Collectors editions just don't do it for me. But I'm just not that type of gamer. I, I am the digital. I want that thing, the, the costume, the whatever. Like, you know. Oh, the. When the monster hunter stuff dropped this week for the Blossom Festival. Right. Like, and then I immediately went to the stor.

[Roger Porny]

Like, the, like, Digital Deluxe Editions. It makes me feel like I'm cheating. I don't like it.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, there's always that part where especially. Yeah, like, avowed, I think, did that, where it was like, we got the code for review. It came with digital. And so it's like there was like a badass sword in there. And so it was that thing of like, I don't want to use this because it's going to break the cycle of leveling in the game where all of a sudden I have the better thing, the better gear. I just like cosmetics. I like looking cool and like, you know, really quick.

[Roger Porny]

I, I started playing Ghost of Shima recently and apparently the code that I had was the Digital Deluxe Edition. So they give you a special horse and every time you walk up to the horse, it just says the name. It says the horse. It just says in parentheses, digital Deluxe Edition, like, next to the horse. And I'm just like, fuck that horse story number if I can.

[Greg Miller]

What do you think of the Release date? October. October 2nd. Good.

[Roger Porny]

I mean, I. That seems like the right place to do it. You just got to get it out. Right? I feel like if we just keep on kicking the can, eventually something else would fall there.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, something. Well, where's gta?

[Roger Porny]

Am I thinking about bears? Give me the face.

[Andy Cortez]

Come out.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I know. In October.

[Roger Porny]

Oh, is that the rumor?

[Andy Cortez]

You know? Well, not even the rumor, but it is one of those interesting things of, you know, that is another. More like aaa.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Big Sony title. I don't. They probably don't know when GTA is coming out, but I feel like if you're Feeling confident enough to be like, all right, let's put it here. When gta, I believe five was what, September? October. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

[Greg Miller]

See, it's an interesting. Obviously, it's still firming up. You can look ahead out there, right, and see September. Hell is us on September 4th. Borderland, September 23rd. Marathon, September 23rd. And then now Ghost coming in October 2nd. Wow.

[Roger Porny]

We're filling up that year. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

We are starting to get some stuff.

[Roger Porny]

I saw somebody in the chat say this is GTA territory. And I just like that. Like from September on.

[Greg Miller]

GTA territory. That's why. Yeah. Metal Gear Delta. Right. Dropping August 28th. They're like, we'll give you some space there, GTA.

[Andy Cortez]

It's really nice of Sony to drop this game on my mom's birthday.

[Roger Porny]

Oh, my gosh.

[Greg Miller]

Happy birthday, Barrett's mom.

[Roger Porny]

Story number three Until Dawn Movie review with Joey Noel. Joey and I went to go see Until dawn.

[Joey Noel]

We did.

[Roger Porny]

@ AMC Metron.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, yeah, you're gonna talk more. Oh, it's a screen. Everything.

[Roger Porny]

Oh, my God. What's going on? I'm going to do a little synopsis really quick. This is for the movie. One year after her sister disappeared, Clover didn't realize that was her name. Can we talk about that?

[Joey Noel]

Sometimes they call her Clover and sometimes they call her Culver.

[Roger Porny]

Really?

[Joey Noel]

It's very back and forth. It was very distracting.

[Roger Porny]

We got to figure that out. Clover and her friends head to the remote valley, the remote valley where she vanished to search for answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they soon encounter a masked killer who murders them one by one. However, when they mysteriously wake up at the beginning of the same night, they're forced to relive the terror over and over again. This movie is currently sitting at a 58% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 53% on Metacritic.

[Greg Miller]

Woof.

[Roger Porny]

Woof.

[Joey Noel]

Not great.

[Roger Porny]

Joy, what'd you think about this movie?

[Joey Noel]

This movie is an until dawn movie.

[Roger Porny]

In theory rather than in potential until dawn game.

[Joey Noel]

It feels like it. I think that if I would have gone into this not knowing the game or not expecting anything tied to the game, I would have had a better time. It's definitely more in the vein of A Happy Death Day. It's funnier than you think it's going to be.

[Roger Porny]

Is it?

[Joey Noel]

Or did we just laugh at things that weren't actually supposed to be? I laughed more in this movie, I guess, is what I.

[Roger Porny]

It was a mistake for us to sit next to each other because we were the only One just dead silent and just like a line of dialogue would come out that was not meant to be funny, I don't think, but.

[Joey Noel]

It was very funny.

[Roger Porny]

Very fun funny. Yeah.

[Joey Noel]

Yeah. They definitely took things that are in the until dawn game. A group of friends, sisters, a mysterious location. But they didn't actually take any of the parts of that that we love from Until Dawn.

[Roger Porny]

No. Yeah. The way that I liked the premise of it, again, like the idea of, like, them dying and then coming back to life. But I also think that this was very much an excuse for David S. Sandberg, the director of this movie, to than just do a bunch of different horror genres that he wanted to tackle in this one movie. It feels very disjointed. I think that's the best way to describe it because of that premise. It's a fun premise. It's a funny idea, and it keeps the movie going. And I don't know how long the movie was, but it felt pretty short.

[Joey Noel]

It was like 1:45.

[Roger Porny]

It flew by for me. I was going by. I was having a good enough time by the ending of it where I was not checking my watch or anything. But the weird thing about it is, the best thing about the movie is the worst thing, because every night they're dying and there's a new monster essentially. Right. But then eventually that new monster, they have to stop doing that premise. And then they're like, no, here's actually the real monster of the movie. And they didn't have enough time to set that up. Because any good horror movie is one that takes its time and builds and builds and builds and then finally has the explosion at the ending. Right. Where this movie doesn't really do that. It just kind of starts. Stop, starts. It feels like a bunch of short films inside of this larger Until Dawn.

[Joey Noel]

Yeah, it gives me. It's like a little bit of a happy death day. Like we're gonna die over again and figure out the.

[Greg Miller]

Which sounds so great.

[Joey Noel]

Yeah. It has a little bit of Cabin into Cabin in the woods, like a little bit meta and like things are changing and all that kind of stuff, but, like, it doesn't nail anything. I think the most confusing part and like, maybe this is on me for not watching the trailers. Chat can tell me if the trailers are any different, but, like, I think it's a weird call to like. Like have a group of friends like you have in the game, but have it not be any of those people. You have sisters, but it's a different dynamic. And the scenario is like, you have enough connections that you are leading people down one path, but then you kind of left turn immediately and you're like, oh, this isn't at all what I thought it was going to be.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. I will say the, the cynical aspect of it, right. Where I, it is kind of like an until dawn in name only. I mean, there's connections, right? They do have connections in the movie, but there are two. Two. Yes. But I will say I am never going to turn my nose up at a director taking millions of dollars from a massive studio to do a bunch of really cool practical effects. And that's what this is like. There's a lot of good practical effects. And if you guys should watch, Pony Smasher is his YouTube channel. But the director, David F. Sandberg, started off as a YouTuber doing, like, short films. He did Lights out and then Annabelle and the Shazam Movement movies. But he was a YouTuber first and foremost, and he did a video before this movie came out where he's like, I was just super excited to do practical effects. And you see, you feel, you feel the excitement in that. And I will again, this is not a bad movie. I would say this is a six out of ten. Like, that's, that's where I gave it.

[Joey Noel]

Two out of five on letterbox.

[Roger Porny]

Oh, so a four out of ten. Damn. Yeah, I, I, I thought it was.

[Joey Noel]

Totally, like, so much of my criticism is that it's just not Until Dawn.

[Roger Porny]

Sure.

[Joey Noel]

And I, I think that it had a different name. I would have had more fun with it.

[Roger Porny]

It was funny playing watching this with Lianza, who only watched until dawn and never watches slasher movies. She's like, man, this movie is so Until Dawn. I'm like, you're just talking about any generic slash. You know what I mean?

[Greg Miller]

Like, so it's a generic slasher film. You like it?

[Roger Porny]

I thought it was.

[Greg Miller]

This is fine.

[Roger Porny]

This is a movie that I would watch when I was 16 with a group, by a group of my friends. We'd laugh at the entire time. It's totally a serviceable, like, put on the background, have a decent enough time. It's not egregious or bad or anything.

[Joey Noel]

I think that there are just movies that have done that better more recently. Like Bodies, Bodies, Bodies I think is a better.

[Roger Porny]

Because the writing of this movie is rough. Yeah.

[Joey Noel]

So I, yeah, Obviously, as a 2 out of 5, I didn't love it, but I hope we get a real until dawn movie with the characters and the scenarios and the storylines that we actually like.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, well, well, maybe Maybe we'll get another until dawn game, then they'll make it until dawn movie 2.

[Joey Noel]

And it really does just kind of.

[Roger Porny]

Feel like we're setting up.

[Joey Noel]

Yeah.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah. Maybe we'll just do another Moot game instead. Well, thank you so much, Joey.

[Joey Noel]

Thanks for having me.

[Greg Miller]

Thank you, Joey.

[Roger Porny]

Bye.

[Greg Miller]

Round of applause, Joey. Do well, everybody. I don't care what you say, I like her.

[Roger Porny]

That's supposed to be private. Story Number four Unannounced Blade Runner Game Cancel at Supermassive Games Talking about Until dawn. This is from Mike Straw at Insider Gaming. An unannounced Blade Runner game that had been in development at Supermassive Games has been canceled. Insider Gaming has learned that Blade Runner Time to Live was a character focused cinematic action adventure game where you are the only blade runner in 2065. The game would feature a 10 to 12 hour single player story that per documents sent to Insider Gaming under the condition that they not be made public, involved a compelling story blending the philosophical themes of Blade Runner with kinetic action adventure gameplay. That's cool. That's me saying that the game began.

[Greg Miller]

The article just goes, that's cool.

[Roger Porny]

That's pretty sick. The game began Pre production in September 2024 with the core team comprised of those who worked on the quarry. Pre production was scheduled to end in March 2025 with the end of prototyping by September 2025. The full release was planned for September 2027 on PS5 Xbox Series Series consoles, PC and the 10th gen Xbox and PlayStation systems. Really quick. What was the. What was the game? A third person action adventure game. Blade Runner Time to Live would see players play as so lang a vintage model Nexus 6 inexplicably still alive well beyond your limited lifespan. Quote Journey from the teeming undercity of New Zurich 2065 to the eerie Remnant. Jesus Christ. Eerie remnants. I got lost. I got lost.

[Greg Miller]

I got lost.

[Roger Porny]

Oh, sorry. Eerie Remnants and the forgotten world beyond the description from the documents quote, under orders to retire Rev, the mysterious and ruthless leader of an underground replicant network, you are betrayed and left for dead in a brutally hostile environment. Environment. And it goes on to say that as far as the reason for the game's cancellation, it was said that Blade Runners rights owners Alcon Entertainment is to blame. Specific details on what ALCON may have done aren't published to protect the sources of the information. It's understood that the game was canceled late last year. Two Blade Runner games in development, huh?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, there's this one. Or was.

[Roger Porny]

Or wasn't involved.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the Annapurna one.

[Roger Porny]

Interesting title. Interesting, yeah. When I saw this, I was like, is this the Annapurna one? No, it's not. This is a separate thing.

[Greg Miller]

Blade Runner 2033, Labyrinth, Supermassive Games just.

[Roger Porny]

Kind of interest me as a company and, like, where they're going and the things that they're doing. This seems like it is less of a quarry situation, maybe. I don't know if it. If it had combat or if it was more of a. Because it's just this action adventure type deal. Yeah, but they're doing this. They were doing this. They have directive 8020, which is still in the anthology the House of.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, they've kind of put that at the bottom of it rather than making it a big part of it. But that's still happening.

[Roger Porny]

And they had a success with the quarry. They did the casting of Frank Stone, which was the Dead By Daylight was not good. That was not good. And then now they're doing Little Nightmares 3, which is fucking bizarre. So the fact they were also making a Blade Runner game is just. They're interesting and I like them a lot and I like what they do. And they clearly have found, like, this rhythm of making things that are. Are cool that people like in this. This horror genre. But it's kind of interesting that they were making a Blade Runner game that they got.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. 100% right. I mean, you want to talk about being an independent studio and being one of those ones that's not independent in, hey, we're in a garage or we're four people who went to college together. Supermassive is a independent studio that is making a lot of games, trying to make success. Right. Try to keep it all going and apparently doing quite well at it because they've been around a while. Right. So, yeah, it's interesting to see them diversify as much as you're referencing. Right. With. Yeah. Directive 8020 being one of these games we know them so well for. But then. Yeah, Little Nightmares 3, then working on this, you. I like to see them branch out. I like to see them hopefully pump their brakes. I think that's been the biggest thing. Right. Where the Dark Pictures anthology we love around here. But you love knowing what you're getting. You're not going to get usually a nine, Right. You're going to get something that's in those seven sixes. All right, cool. It's a schlocky horror movie. I'm enjoying it. I'm not enjoying it. There's a bunch of technical problems or frame rate. Dips. Whereas wanting to see them take a break and you know, when the quarry came, that was such a surprise of, hey, Here is a 2k backed, big budget quarry, one with all the celebrities on stadia.

[Roger Porny]

Or was it supposed to be on stadium?

[Greg Miller]

I forget about the stadia connection. But yeah, I like to see them take their time, it seems with directive, and then have little nightmares. And then even trying this, even though it never came to fruition, it was never announced. Right. It's more. That's one of these things, is a peek behind the curtain. I just hope they're doing well. I like to see them continue to be weird and do their own thing and try new stuff. Yeah.

[Roger Porny]

Hell yeah. But if the Blade Runner game came out, that would have been huge.

[Greg Miller]

Would have been huge news.

[Roger Porny]

But I'm tired of everything big fuck.

[Greg Miller]

It's not as easy as ebay.

[Roger Porny]

Because then I look at the thing and I'm like, what am I saying? And it's about something, whatever. If I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I need to know about, where would I go?

[Greg Miller]

You go to the last story, the WE News channel where we cover all the tiny, small, little itty bitty news stories you need to know about.

[Roger Porny]

WE Newstime, everybody. It's from Noble Bethesda. Bethesda. Namcom. Bethesda gave the entire Sky Bolivian modding team game keys for the Elder Scrolls for Oblivion remaster. That's how you do it, y'all.

[Greg Miller]

Very nice.

[Roger Porny]

That's how you do it.

[Greg Miller]

So much concern.

[Roger Porny]

That's awesome.

[Greg Miller]

With the Oblivion announcement coming up for that Sky Oblivion team, all the amount of work they've put in, of course, modding Skyrim to be Oblivion. It's nice to see Bethesda still being like, no, y'all are cool. We're trying to take care of you.

[Roger Porny]

And then next week they shut it down.

[Greg Miller]

Now we're seeing cool.

[Roger Porny]

[Roger Porny]

IGN says that EA College Football 26 has a release date of July 10th, 10th for PS5 Xbox Series and no PC or switch to release.

[Greg Miller]

I'm gonna be very interested to see how this one performs. Remember last year, EA College Football 25 runaway success. It was the most best selling game of the year. It was, yeah, it was like it did crazy, crazy numbers because of course we had been waiting so long for another college football game. So here we are, one year later. We're on this annualized track. How does this one sell compared to.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. And is it even, you know, is there a sizable amount of changes here that we can get excited about or people just gonna be like, I already bought the game.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, my hope, I bet. Yeah. You know, is there something that comes.

[Roger Porny]

To mind that you really, you know.

[Greg Miller]

How this always goes. It's college, the new rosters, new schools, new this. I think it'll really come down to the stuff Mike and I. Mike really banged the drum bitching about last time around and criticizing and I should say bitching, but you know what I mean. But like, where are the fight songs? Where are the. Where's the pommel circumstance on that? You know their ultimate team mode? Is it just called ultimate team? I forget. You know, it was very lackluster and not cool. Have they gone and like put more love and care into that? There's plenty of room to improve. So I do think that they'll be giving you the reasons of why you should care. But it'll really come down to we've added in more things, more traditions, more this that'll be representing the even smaller schools.

[Roger Porny]

Put it on PC. Cowards. Liam Doolin.

[Greg Miller]

All y'all want to do is play Minesweeper. You don't want to play. You don't want to play football.

And the final story here, Waterfield Designs opens pre orders for its cult favorite cases, the City Slicker and Magnetic Gaming case, each custom fitted for the new Switch 2.

[Greg Miller]

Every time I bring out my Switch or Steam Deck or whatever, somebody goes, oh my God, what a great bag. And I always say, oh, it's SFBags.com. i've been using them since the Vita and I've been using the form factor of the City Slicker case since the Vita, so I will be using this as well. Can't Recommend them enough. Sfbags.com Austin T says 129 is crazy. Your money is your money. But I will call out the fact of I have the Vita one. The same leather case that it still is in mint condition. Not because I didn't use it because it's so good. Do whatever you want with it. I'm not telling you how to spend their money, but they're the ones that do the backpack packs and the gaming cases and all the crazy stuff that are meant to be of a nicer variety, but they always protect my stuff. This is not an ad. I just love SFBags.com.

[Roger Porny]

Yeah, we've been in the market for a new switch carrier for Switch 2, so might get that one. Looks good. And that is the end of of we news. Hardcore little super chats for you.

Wildwood down stepped into the hilariously twisted world of Wild Wild Wood Down. Jesus. A side splitting comedy thriller featuring a protagonist with down syndrome. Inspired and voice acted by the devs child friend. Perfect for fans of P dash N dash C adventure genre and newcomers looking for a heartfelt ride.
