Key Sections and Discussion Points

1. Setup and Episode Structure

• [01:57] Mike introduces the concept: alternating between PS5 and Switch 2 gameplay to examine differences in performance, graphics, and player experience.
• [02:41] Greg demonstrates the seamless switch between platforms using their streaming setup, highlighting quick load times.

2. Personal Playthroughs & Reviews

• [03:28] Greg played Requiem completely on Switch 2; Mike on PS5. Both have beaten the game and are bringing dual perspectives for comparison.
• [04:25] No spoilers: Episode focuses on early-game content and technical observations.

3. Initial Impressions on Switch 2

• [08:14] Greg and Mike begin showcasing the Switch 2 version, commenting on initial cutscene visuals:

  • Greg: “Look at his beard. Look at the not clipping, but the way their shoulders are meshing with the world. ...When you get into the actual game it’s a different story.” (08:22)
  • Hair quality is highlighted as a weak point, better on PS5.

• [11:01] Mike points out the importance of this being a native Switch 2 port (not a cloud version), showing Nintendo’s new power.

Handheld Mode & Comfort

• [12:04] Greg notes significant handheld play: “I didn’t think I would play in handheld...but it’s traditional.”
• Battery life is discussed: not great, but not a dealbreaker as Greg keeps a battery pack handy. (40:20)

4. Technical Comparison: Graphics, Performance, Features

• Visual Differences:

  • Switch 2: Overall positive – some roughness on models/hair, but in-game visuals impressively close to PS5 Pro.
  • PS5 Pro: Slightly better hair, texture detail, faster loading, and enhanced effects (awnings/weather, etc).
    • Greg: “I thought there’d be a noticeable difference in smoothness. I don’t think there [is]. ...Pretty close though. Truly pretty close here.” (21:26)

• Loading Times:

  • PS5 Pro loads much faster; Switch 2 slightly behind but acceptable.
    • Mike: “PlayStation...that thing was firing on all cylinders. Fast.” (37:30)

• Rumble/DualSense Features:

  • PS5 Pro’s HD rumble and DualSense feedback impress both hosts.
  • Mike: “They do a really good job with that. I was impressed. ...It really is a nice touch.” (12:34)

• Performance:

  • Both platforms maintain strong framerates; minor stuttering on Switch 2 is not disruptive.
  • Full game content parity — nothing is “missing” from the Switch 2 version compared to console.

Notable Technical Quote

• Greg: “Again, like I said in the review, I know not everything is apples to apples, but this is really going to go on my list of examples when something does look [subpar] on the Switch 2, to be like, 'What are we doing? Yeah, Resident Evil crushed this.'” (13:20)

---

5. Gameplay Experience and Series Context

• Level Design & Horror:

  • Both Greg and Mike extol Capcom’s “masterclass” in level/puzzle design and pacing.
  • Stealth elements and horror intensity are high, especially when playing as Grace.
  • Mike: “They are...a master, the masterclass in level design and this horror maze building.” (27:56)

• Switch 2 Parity – Content & Replayability:

  • No missing content, runs “the full game,” and both are excited to replay it.
  • Mike: “This is probably one of the few that I will run back and play again on stream.” (16:21)

Player Choice and Difficulty:

• Standard “modern” mode is recommended for most players; “classic” adds old-school difficulty with features like ink ribbons for saving. (07:26)

---

6. Game Thoughts & Ratings

• [14:11] Mike gives a review rating: 9.5/10 (“I wanted to give it a 10,” but cited minor issues with “boss battles and kind of in the middle of the game.”)
• Praise: Cites blend of horror and action, improved narrative, and outstanding pacing as reasons for acclaim.
• Replay Value: High, both for achievement-hunters and horror fans.

Notable Quotes

• Mike: “I really think that this is the ultimate Resident Evil experience. ...This is gonna go down as one of my favorites of all time for Resident Evil.” (14:20)

• On horror:

  • Mike: “There are some gruesome death sequences in this. Right up there with, like, a Mortal Kombat and a Tomb Raider 2015, where you’re like, 'Oh, my God, what just happened on this screen?'” (29:52)

---

7. Gyro Aiming & Control Options

• [39:09 onwards] The hosts test out Joy-Con gyro aiming on Switch 2.
  • Feature is available and feels “really good.”
  • It only affects aiming (not full camera control).
  • Fun for variety but not necessarily preferable for the full campaign.

Notable Demo Reactions

• Greg: “God dang, guys, that actually feels really good.” (45:48)
• Mike: “I don’t know if I’d play the whole game with it, but I’d definitely have a fun night. Smiling.” (59:02)

---

8. Memorable Moments & Humor

• Running jokes and energy drink tasting – Hosts review different 5 Hour Energy flavors (sponsor), blending taste tests into the conversation, e.g.:

  • Greg, on Confetti Craze: “Vanilla cakey flavor. Caffeinated cake and no sugar. It’s party time.” (05:57)

• Humor:

  • Playful jabs at each other’s gaming skills, references to Pokémon, inside Kinda Funny “lore” (e.g., “Sarah Bond took the children and ran” (39:38)), and the joy of scaring Blessing and Andy in upcoming marathon streams.

• Discussion of visuals:

  • Host (Greg): “The leather looks good. The water looks good. ...What a game, though.” (11:56)

• Mike [14:20]: “This is gonna go down as one of my favorites of all time for Resident Evil. And I gave it a 9.5.”
• Mike [27:56]: “The team over at Capcom has shown that they are a master...in level design and this horror maze building.”

---

Conclusions / Takeaways

• Resident Evil Requiem runs impressively well on Nintendo Switch 2, with surprisingly minimal compromise compared to PS5 Pro; biggest differences are in hair and fine detail, and load time.
• Gameplay fidelity is maintained on both platforms – no “mobile” or feature-limited port here.
• Switch 2’s portability is a huge benefit for some players, though battery life could be better.
• PS5 Pro offers bells and whistles: faster loads, DualSense rumble/haptics, and technically superior visuals (but not radically so).
• A new gold-standard for third-party AAA ports on Nintendo hardware—this release should set expectations for future big-budget titles on Switch 2.
• The game itself is a critical darling among Kinda Funny crew, universally praised for its blend of horror and action, level design, and atmospheric storytelling.

---

Additional Notes

• The Gamescast Plays format is energetic, casual, and very community-focused (including live chat reactions and off-topic jokes).
• Spoilers are carefully avoided; the gameplay shown covers only the opening hour for technical demonstration.
• For full review and story breakdown, listeners are encouraged to check out the main Kinda Funny Gamescast review episode mentioned in the stream.

For New Listeners

If you’re deciding which version of Resident Evil Requiem is right for you:

• Switch 2: Shockingly strong native port—perfect if you crave portability and don’t mind very slight graphic trade-offs.
• PS5 Pro: Edge in visuals, haptics, and load times, plus PlayStation trophy support.

Both hosts agree: this is one of the best Resident Evil releases to date, and a must-play regardless of your platform.

Of course, this is your afternoon stream, but it is the gamescast plays for the week. We dive a little bit deeper in editorial product. We talk about the games that are maybe new, hot, fresh, or go back to the library and just want to share some special thoughts with you on games that we love. And today, Greg, we got a really special one.

[Greg Miller]

We do.

[Mike]

We got a really special one. We are playing Resident Evil Requiem. We are going to showcase the PlayStation 5 version and the Nintendo Switch 2 version at the. I mean, back and forth the same time throughout the same stream.

[Greg Miller]

Can we talk about the setup that the team has created right now, everybody? Yes, you are looking at The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Resident Evil Requiem. But watch this. I just go, bam. And now, elgato. Loads. And it loads and it loads.

[Mike]

It's loading now. Yo, it's gonna make it.

[Greg Miller]

We're looking at the PlayStation 5 Vers. Oh, that's how quick we can do it. Then I gotta go through these dead hdmis and then I'm back. And Nintendo Switch loads up here. I'm very excited for this one. As you know Mike, I have reviewed Resident Evil Requiem. He did review and a 9 out of 10. An amazing score here on Kinda funny. You should go check out that gamecast from yesterday. And I played my entire version on the Switch. So I'm excited to show you in the audience the Switch in motion. But I still have yet to see it on a PlayStation 5. So to play it then jump over and compare and contrast.

[Mike]

I'm very stoked, very cool. And as you know Greg, I played on all the way through Resident Evil 9 by. By myself before the week I wasn't on the Gamescast.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

But I played it on the PlayStation 5 exclusively. So I'm ready to see it on the Nintendo Switch 2 that you've been playing it on. So we both have now beaten the game. We've played the game on both respective consoles. We'll be bringing in a different eye to talk about what we see. How's it running, what's our thoughts on it? Of course it will be a ton of fun. I will encourage you if you are interested in knowing more about Resident Evil 9 and our reviews. Tim Geddes was on there, Madeline Stanley was there. You can go check week's gamescast that just popped up where you can see the review scores and the thoughts from the team. And of course you can get ready For Resident Evil 9 with us this whole week. Today and tomorrow will be some big streams. Of course today's Gamescast plays will be showing it running on the PlayStation 5 and Switch 2 very early hour, the beginning of the game so you won't get spoiled on anything at all.

[Greg Miller]

This plays are like an hour. Yeah, we're not. And we're going to be jumping across. You're not going to see. Thing is this is about the technical comparisons, let alone me and Mike finally getting to talk together about what we think on content.

[Mike]

But more important than that, lay it on me, Greg.

[Greg Miller]

We're gonna be getting a boost of energy.

[Mike]

A boost of energy.

[Greg Miller]

Greg, if you didn't know everybody. This week we've been sponsored by five Hour Energy and this stream is in fact sponsored by five Hour Energy. They liked it so much when we wore the energy officer hat, when we did the outer worlds run and everything. They said you know what we want to be part of kinda funny Content. We want you out there talking about five Hour Energy because if you remember, I liked it a lot. Now, have I had Confetti craze yet?

[Mike]

We have three flavors. Three new flavors.

[Greg Miller]

We have. Yeah, of course you have Confetti Craze or I'm sorry, Birthday cake. Then you got cotton candy, then you got fruity rainbow. Now you've heard me. Oh, no, I was right. Confetti craze. Cotton candy and fruity rainbow.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Greg Miller]

Confetti Craze has the subtitle birthday cake. It's in there. Whatever you've heard me do. The ad reads for this. You know, I like five Hour Energy. And more importantly than anything, I'm kind of upset about this one. I'm twisted. Whoa. Five Hour Energy. Clearly a great partner to us.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Greg Miller]

I appreciate this.

[Mike]

Thank you for your support.

[Greg Miller]

The last time they sent us a custom outer worlds 2 hat that was bright yellow.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

And I wear that hat all the time. And I am complimented by my wife and my son because when we go to these events a la go watch these race cars in San Francisco. Right. Guess what I see. I'm seen. They can see me in the hat. No hat.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

But I am excited. I'm jumping in and I'm going to do birthday cake. Let me read you the sentence on it.

[Mike]

Lay it on me.

[Greg Miller]

Confetti craze. Eating cake on the go is hard. Grab a Confetti craze five Hour energy shot instead. Vanilla cakey flavor. Caffeinated cake and no sugar. It's party time. Order now at 5hourenergy.com or Amazon.

[Mike]

Now what I'm excited for, Greg, is we loved the Outer worlds. Two special flavors. They crushed it.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Now I'm excited for these birthday cake.

[Greg Miller]

It smells like birthday cake. My favorite kind of ice cream.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Greg Miller]

Cheers to five Hours.

[Mike]

Here's the five hour Energy. Thank you for supporting the stream and this week's games cast plays

[Greg Miller]

like. Yeah, it's a sponsored video.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

But honestly, honestly, are we allowed to curse in these?

[Mike]

Let's try not to.

[Greg Miller]

It's good. All right, I'll tell you what, everybody.

[Mike]

You know what? I'm gonna try the other ones too because I like.

[Greg Miller]

Okay, don't finish all of them.

[Mike]

No, I'm taking little half sips.

[Greg Miller]

You can do. Okay. Yeah, little sips. I don't want you. You know, we shouldn't be chugging them. Don't do that. Okay.

[Mike]

This one I'm going to try now is the rainbow candy blend, man.

[Greg Miller]

And I'm telling you, it tastes. The aftertaste. Tastes like cake.

[Mike]

You know, it's. It's one because like, you instantly know cake when we're like, oh, confetti cake. You know the smell, you know the taste. And this team, they nailed that.

[Greg Miller]

Of course, we are doing a Resident Evil stream tomorrow. That is the marathon stream. These will be on hand. Maybe the guys want them.

[Mike]

Smell that. Just smell it. I want you to smell it. Kind of got that berry smell to it. Yeah, yeah, I do like that. Let's see. This is a rainbow candy blend.

[Greg Miller]

All right, we're gonna do standard modern here. Okay. A balanced experience of suspense. So here you go. You got casual relax while you enjoy the story and the puzzles. Standard modern, a balanced experience of suspense and accomplishment at the standard difficulty found among modern Resident Evil games. This is the one I played on. And then you have standard classic, a traditional experience with a difficulty similar to classic Resident Evil games. Recommended for long term fans of the series.

[Mike]

The big one to highlight there, Greg, if you go back down to classic is the ink ribbons. So if you want to save, you have to find these ink ribbons in the world. I never liked it and so that makes it different. I ended mine with like 95 saves files. So, you know, I was saving a lot. And in classic, I don't think they were going to let me get away with that. So.

[Greg Miller]

Throwing up in a month.

[Mike]

Yeah. Be mindful of what you're choosing when you jump in.

[Greg Miller]

Remember watching The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Resident Evil Requiem on this game's cast plays. Brought to you by 5hourins.

[Mike]

This is the Switch 2 version off the bat.

[Greg Miller]

That's what I said. Yeah, I'm starting with Switch 2. I loved this title treatment, by the way. FBI Midwest, very controlled. But right here, I think you see, this is when I started and I was like, oh, did I make a mistake? Right? Look at his beard. Look at the not clipping, but the way their shoulders are meshing with the world. However, this is similar to what I just talked about on the Gamescast. It's itself when we were looking at another game, the mlb, the show, and people are like, why do they look so bad in suits? And it's like, well, the game's not made for that. When you get into the actual game, I think it's a different story here. I'm talking about her hair. Not a fan of how her hair.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're going to notice that on the PlayStation 5. You'll notice.

[Greg Miller]

Really the hair is bad on the PlayStation.

[Mike]

No, it looks better. Way better.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Okay, so if you see Grace doing her job here, and this is where we just immediately come in. Grace is an inept FBI agent. Why are they giving her so much to do?

[Mike]

I love that. We walk in, we're like, Grace. Some things are going down.

[Greg Miller]

She's not paying attention.

[Mike]

We need you to get on it.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I'm here. Yes, my office. Damn. So I get Kevin for his meetings too. Okay, I go, Kevin, Kevin, my office.

[Mike]

She's got a lot.

[Greg Miller]

She's not a good FBI agent. I'm just saying that. But I'll tell you what. Confetti Craze is a good five hour energy drink.

[Mike]

Cotton candy. Delicious.

[Greg Miller]

Let me smell. I was already gone.

[Mike]

Smell, smell. No, I've only took little sips out of all these.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

It'll be ready in three.

[Mike]

Cotton candy. Good.

[Greg Miller]

See why she stuttering here too? And it's not. She doesn't have a stutter. I'm not going to be blamed for being stutters. I don't.

[Mike]

Well, she's a. She's a little.

[Greg Miller]

Why? She's scared of everything. She's an FBI agent.

[Mike]

This is the head of the FBI in the Midwest.

[Greg Miller]

Whatever. You watch and you go, hey, Chief, what up?

[Mike]

That's what you and I would say, Give me my next assignment. Chief, I'm ready. Your eyes on the crime scene.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, man. It's good.

[Mike]

Doesn't look bad.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, no. I'm at the confetti. Yeah, you know this.

[Mike]

I'm looking at both screens because mine is getting taken.

[Greg Miller]

Are you a little delayed?

[Mike]

So there's a little bit. No, no, not delayed, but just a little difference.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Mike]

Subtle difference on what it looks like.

[Greg Miller]

Got it, got it, got it. Kevin Superchath and says, can't wait to play this. Taking a half day to play tomorrow.

[Mike]

You gotta.

[Greg Miller]

Also, for cough, try Flonase twice a day.

[Mike]

Flonase twice a day.

[Greg Miller]

Alyssa died eight years ago in this part. Crazy like. You know what I mean?

[Mike]

What a nap.

[Greg Miller]

Straight out of horror movie stuff of like, listen, I need you to go to where your mom was murdered. It's time for you to confront your fear. Jen was like, why would they do this? I'm like, it's got to be he's a bad guy too, or whatever. I won't force you to go. But again, switch two. Looking good.

[Mike]

This for me?

[Greg Miller]

Wait till we get in the gameplay because I really do think gameplay is where it is.

[Mike]

And this is all running natively on the Switch. Remember back in the day, they brought in Resident Evil and they were like, oh, we got a cloud version. This is really up it up. So, like, that's cool that it's so strong now.

[Greg Miller]

Kevin, they're saying game audio is a little low. Can we get that higher for them? Oh, sorry. I'm so used to you right there. Barrett. Chat saying, game audio is long. I love you, Kev. I'm sorry, Kevin. Working on the Resident Evil stream for tomorrow? Not that I've heard.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

No.

[Greg Miller]

Grill 14.

[Mike]

I like the start of this.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Very cool. Very fun intro.

[Greg Miller]

Rammerman says, does the switch get hot in handheld? It never did. I. I'm not. I've never been touching it.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Greg Miller]

Over here, ultra BMW. Saying that, wow, this is the switch. This is impressive.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

See? And wait till we get going because this is really where Jen was like, oh, man.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Like, sorry.

[Greg Miller]

The leather looks good. The water looks good.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Granted, right now you're just looking at, you know, a cutscene, but when we get playing here in a sec. What a game, though.

[Mike]

Mike, did you play in handheld?

[Greg Miller]

Oh, yeah. A lot.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. I really Grace Ren. I didn't think I would play in handheld.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Greg Miller]

I was very much like, oh, this is a TV thing. This is what it was. But it's traditional, you know, Jen was

[Narrator/Voiceover]

like, hey, around here.

[Greg Miller]

I want you to come to bed tonight. I don't want you. I don't want your loud ass waking me up when you come up later, come in and lay in bed and play.

[Mike]

Can I tell you what I'm excited for you to experience on the PlayStation?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

That dual sense. The HD rumble is special.

[Greg Miller]

All right. I mean, move right now. It's rating like, it feels good at a control, too.

[Mike]

They got the rumble going, but, like, this is like. It feels like it's rumbling everywhere. When you play on the dualsense, it's like you're going to feel the individual rangers. Yeah. They do a really good job with that. I was impressed. It's subtle and it cares through the entire game, and it really is a nice touch. The entire time. I was really impressed.

[Greg Miller]

Missing people are missing.

[Mike]

Missing people. And it's awesome because there's no missing content. It's just Resident Evil.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like the. There's nothing. You know, I'm so used to way, way back in the day of like, oh, this, like, handheld version. Ah, it's missing a couple of things. The full game, which is impressive.

[Greg Miller]

Very impressive. And again, like I said in the review, I know not everything's is not everything is apples to apples, but this is really going to go on my list of examples when something does look like on the switch too, to be like, what are we doing? Yeah, Resident Evil crushed this.

[Mike]

Why is it when everyone has doubts on third party games, you'd be like, well, hold up, you know, delivered here.

[Greg Miller]

Roger's always talking about WWE 2K25 and expecting the same from 2K26 and how well that ran on.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

But right here she's like, oh, here's my FBI. I'm like, you have an FBI badge. You knew you needed that. John Cena investigating all these strange deaths.

[Mike]

I thought I called him John Ham. That's funny. Thought he looked like John Ham.

[Greg Miller]

So. Mike. Yeah, I know right now in the papers. So you think it's something. In fact, the dirt sheets we got you hosting the review for Resident Evil. Blessing Andy Variety next week.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Greg Miller]

I don't care about ruining that content here. What would you give Resident Evil reckley with a kind of funny scale. Yeah, Greg, you're gonna host that one. That's their time to show.

[Mike]

Of course. Of course. We're gonna talk about their marathon stream, the shenanigans and their thoughts on the game, which will be a little bit different because it will be a lot of screaming and chatting between the two of them. But for my time, 12 hours on PlayStation 5 had one heck of a time. I really think that this is the ultimate Resident Evil experience. They've learned and shown so much from the remakes of 2 and 3. And then like blending 4 with the action adventure mixed with 7 and 8 with the horror side of things, this is gonna go down as one of my favorites of all time for Resident Evil. And I gave it a 9.5. Yeah, I wanted to give it a 10, but I just felt like, like there was something there with boss battles and like kind of in the middle of the game where it's like, okay, this is just a little bit of not what I wanted here. And so, yeah, I'm excited to talk more. I really can't wait to see the fans perspective because I know a lot of them were looking at the story of two people and how you would intertwine that.

[Greg Miller]

They do a great job.

[Mike]

It's like, will they nail that? Will it be bad? I don't want this. I don't want that. So I'm really excited to see the player's perspective because I think they did a great job with both of them. The horrifying nature of grace of like, I got no power to the power fantasy is fulfilled with Leon. And I'm kicking butt.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, 100%. But yeah, I think, you know, again, a testament to how much I like this game.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Right. Before we went live here, of course, you know, there's certain rules with an embargo for what you can show and what you can't do. Right. And so we needed to start a new game, not a new game. And so I went in there and it was. Oh, even when I started a new game, it was like, hey, you know, your things you've unlocked are going to carry over no matter what. I was like, oh. And I thought about wiping my save entirely. Oh, and just rolling save. And I'm like, you know what? I still. This is a game I could see myself tinkering with. You know what I mean? Resident Evil games, always great for that replayability. I can see myself tinkering with it, doing stuff that way. So I went and just created a new user on the nice. So I can make sure I do that. Maggots.

[Mike]

This is one of the few games that I've played and you know, me and Madeline Stanley were talking about it. I was so energized afterwards with how much fun I had that I wanted more Resident Evil in my life. From games to movies, the show. This is probably one of the few that I will run back and play again on stream.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And I don't do that, even though

[Greg Miller]

I'm not, you know, we know how busy we are. You know, in another world it would have been I would do this and I would want to go platinum it or on Switch or unlock everything. Now, Mike, you say the word when you want me to switch over. Because we can do it, as you saw In a good 15 minutes segment

[Mike]

of going, yes, we're about to switch over in just a moment when we get into the next gameplay. But I've been looking at this. I'm impressed. I cannot believe this. I thought it would be a larger step down than the PlayStation 5. And this is pretty close. This is pretty close to right on the money.

[Greg Miller]

Cooper says, sorry, this is the Switch 2 version. Yes, everybody, we are playing on The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Resident Evil Requiem right now. This is where I played my entire again. Game clock said 10 and a half hours. That can't be right. That can't be right whatsoever.

[Mike]

What do you mean?

[Greg Miller]

I feel like I played longer than that. We all talked about how our game clocks that popped up at the end of the game were like, that can't be right.

[Mike]

It said for me. 10. My PlayStation clock said 12 when I tracked all the videos that I shot with it. Yeah, I thought I was up in like the 15 area, but I think it does. This game does a really good job of just keeping you focused and keeping you moving forward. That I do. I do think it's a pretty quick pace. It feels like there's blocks that are 90 minutes to two hours and that's like the block and it's all right. Take a deep breath onto the next thing.

[Greg Miller]

How scared are Andy and Blessing gonna be?

[Mike]

They're gonna be terrified. I'm truly so excited.

[Greg Miller]

The Grace moments are truly terrifying.

[Mike]

They nailed the horror. They nailed. There's a couple of moments in this that are going to be talked about and celebrated in like the. Oh, wow. They captured the scaries for a long time and it's gonna go down there. You know, I think about the dollhouse and eight that we always talk about the opening sequence in seven. There is that in Resident Evil 9 for sure.

[Greg Miller]

Put your hand in there. Ew. I tell you, get a stomach virus.

[Mike]

Hey, do me a favor. Let's pause. Let's go to PlayStation now. Okay, pause this. Go to PlayStation. Take me over there. Let's see what this looks like now.

[Greg Miller]

We're going to start it up on PlayStation. This is my first time seeing it how it is now again. Just give it a second, everybody. Don't panic.

[Mike]

Yeah, we're just.

[Greg Miller]

While you wait, crack open your five Hour Energy. All right, Let me remind you, you said. What was the other one you liked? Fruity Rainbow. I like Fruity Rainbow. Your candy stash just got an upgrade with fruity rainbow 5 hour energy shots. Grab the shot. Dive into that sweet boost of your sweet tooth. For your sweet Tooth, order now, FiveHouseEnergy.com or Amazon.

[Mike]

Now. I'm excited to see what you think here. What are the subtle differences that you see or that you could even point out? Cuz I. I like I said I'm impressed on that Nintendo Switch 2. There wasn't much that I could point out on you,

[Narrator/Voiceover]

sir.

[Greg Miller]

All right. You know. Oh God, that guy still look bad.

[Mike]

Now this is your standard.

[Greg Miller]

The man who just walked by had about 175 hour energy cuz his eyes were so wide. Oh yeah, there's the hair. That's. This is PS5 Pro.

[Mike]

Oh, you got a pro in here. Nice. I was gonna say all the. All the lab has just five.

[Greg Miller]

I just don't even think about it anymore, you know?

[Mike]

Oh, okay. Yeah, you're living that good life, is Right. I like that.

[Greg Miller]

This is up and running on a PlayStation 5 Pro, which means I should, at some point, probably jump in and make sure we're doing the performance over whatever. The lockdown is extended to 2040. So far, I don't feel like I made the wrong choice playing on Switch. I did okay. You know, I went with the convenience factor.

[Mike]

Yeah. Okay.

[Greg Miller]

Now every time I got a trophy on Switch, I was like, damn.

[Mike]

Yeah. You were like, oh, missing out.

[Greg Miller]

Could have been me.

[Mike]

Lot of trophies popping for you, boy, Mike.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, there's a lot of trophies.

[Mike]

A lot of trophies popping.

[Greg Miller]

Very rewarding on that. I'm going to skip the cutscene.

[Mike]

I was going to say, I think you've seen the cutscene. You see the detail. They all look good. The character models in the cutscenes look great.

[Greg Miller]

Then here, before we can start walking,

[Mike]

going here, option, get deep in there.

[Greg Miller]

Graphics off. Oh, it can only be changed from the main menu. Well, whatever. More movement in that awning. You can see that.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, that awning's getting its business going.

[Mike]

Pretty close, though.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. No, no, no.

[Mike]

Like, truly pretty close here. You'd have to spend a lot of time nitpicking stuff to really.

[Greg Miller]

Luckily, no one nitpicks on the Internet.

[Mike]

Yeah. To point out, I'm sure everyone will

[Greg Miller]

be super cool with everything.

[Mike]

Don't worry.

[Greg Miller]

I obtained the file. $10.60. Seems like a lot for a pack of cigarettes. Is that the going price for cigarettes, Kevin? More than that now. How much it cost a pack of cigarettes? 12 bucks.

[Mike]

You see this? They got their own football team up above you, too.

[Greg Miller]

The cigarette?

[Mike]

No, they got the, like, the Rough Riders. And there's a dog logo up above you. That's this thing.

[Greg Miller]

Got it.

[Mike]

How are those raindrops feeling, though?

[Greg Miller]

Fine.

[Mike]

I'll tell you, Greg, PlayStation. They really nailed the HD rumble. They really nailed it.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Why?

[Greg Miller]

It's an act of crime. We got it. We got it. We know what we're talking about here. Now,

[Mike]

Frame rate wise, are you. Are you noticing anything at all?

[Greg Miller]

It's not as. I thought there'd be a noticeable difference in smoothness. I don't think there. You know, the little bit of catching I had on Switch. I'm sitting here, it seems like. She's back.

[Mike]

What about the dual sense speaker Mike? There is a dual sense speaker capability in the game. There will be some. Some yakking coming out of it if you choose to. I did turn that off just because I was wearing headphones. So, like, you know, that's Just kind of speaking to the. The wall if I'm not listening to it. So I turned mine off. But I do know a man named Roger Piccorni who did play with it on, and he said it was definitely yapping at him.

[Greg Miller]

I don't know if you know this, but Roger's a huge dork.

[Mike]

Yeah, he doesn't. Yeah, he plays on his living room television with his loving fiance because he has someone in his life, and I'm just alone in a basement, just lights off, headphones on, playing this to my heart's content. Some would say living the good life.

[Greg Miller]

A lot of people would say you have.

[Mike]

Just so you know, I'm living the good life.

[Greg Miller]

When Roger's done paying for that wedding, you ask him how that felt. You know what I mean?

[Mike]

I feel it now.

[Greg Miller]

Was it. Was it worth it? Could have eloped. Footprints. There's footprints. Yeah. All right. So do I sound different? My headphones, though. Next save, I want to jump out to the menu and see you about tweaking stuff.

[Mike]

Yeah, of course. We can definitely do that.

[Greg Miller]

Maybe we can do the ad break when we do that, you know? Or is there an ad break?

[Mike]

Look at that. We're gonna take an ad break.

[Greg Miller]

Playing on both Nintendo Switch 2 and the PlayStation 5 Pro, we're jumping back and forth. We have now jumped over to the Nintendo Switch 2 right now to show you the next part of the opening 30 minutes of the game. We're very early here.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, I am even hotter on the Switch 2 version Now, Jeff, now that you jump back, especially going side by side.

[Mike]

See, I saw a little bit, I saw a little bit where I'm like, I see it. Yeah, okay. But it's not bad. It's not bad at all.

[Greg Miller]

Solid. Python says in the chat. Yeah. Digital Foundry said the difference between base PS5 and Switch 2 aren't that big besides the hair.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Greg Miller]

204 and this stuff. How good does it feel playing this game? And you, the door is locked and then you come back 30 minutes later, you got that thing, you're like, yeah,

[Mike]

Greg, I wish I could draw you a map right now of all the fun that I've had where you go somewhere and you're like, all right, great. Good job, Mike. You're going this way. And then you notice back behind you on the menu, you're like, oh, like there was a safe back there. Like, but I'm never going to go back there. I'm too afraid to go back there. And then the game is like, you're going back, jk, you're going back. And I'm like, oh, you got me so good. They are the team over at Capcom has shown that they are a master, the masterclass in level design and this like horror maze building that is just so much fun to navigate. Find your own path, put together the clues and the puzzle pieces on what's next. I can't get enough of it.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, 100%, I think. Again, what I said in this review. I don't know if you watched, Mike, because I don't know if you're trying

[Mike]

to say I did Watch.

[Greg Miller]

Okay. You know, I talked about Hell Is Us last year, where I was like, this was a master class in game design. And you come back and I put this in that exact category of how much fun it is to be, like, playing the game and have this. And then, okay, this opens up, and then all this opens up. But you got to come back here. And like I was saying in the, you know, later sections of the game, treating it like a roguelite, where I'm like, all right, cool. I'm going to get it and just go on a run to get this one thing and come back and save. Then go get this thing, come back and save.

[Mike]

You know, I talked with Tim about this when I saw him. It's just like Resident Evil 2 and 3. All the Resident Evils have these, right? And it's just so much fun that Capcom has nailed this. And this one in particular, with Grace, is. It's horrifying the entire time, right? I think, like, with Leon, you get the power fantasy and you become the ultimate soldier. But, like, with Grace. I found myself crouching almost 80% of the time when I was navigating at walkways and I'd find myself, I'd be like, why are you crouching, Mike? Like, get up and walk. But I was so afraid that I would crouch the entire time walking around these hallways. It's horrifying.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. 100. Especially when you're playing that hide and

[Mike]

seek game and you're always searching. You're always searching. There is one thing that I can't

[Greg Miller]

wait to talk about, Greg, today or later, offline.

[Mike]

But like, that. I mean, there's something. And if you know Mike, you know what it is. That's what kind of excited I got.

[Greg Miller]

See, Capcom? That's not a spoiler.

[Mike]

It's not a spoiler.

[Greg Miller]

You get mad because you have to know Mike to know that so Chris Ank understands what's going on.

[Mike]

Yeah. You gotta find God.

[Greg Miller]

You know it. You know it.

[Mike]

Every time you bump into an obstacle, you're like, oh, I get excited.

[Greg Miller]

I'm like, we're gonna have some fun out there.

[Mike]

I don't want to die. There's some gruesome deaths in this, too. There are some gruesome death sequences in this. Right up there with, like, a Mortal Kombat and a Tomb Raider 2015, where you're like, oh, my God, what just happened on this screen?

[Greg Miller]

Who's that? What are you doing on there?

[Mike]

This one got me good.

[Greg Miller]

204.

[Mike]

Back to where it all began. SPA says sadly I'll miss those. I'm doing a deathless run for sure. Built different. Mikey. Wow. Good for you. I love that.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, my God.

[Mike]

What? Who?

[Greg Miller]

Photos of me and Mama.

[Mike]

Yeah, we're about to get to that

[Greg Miller]

demo we all saw back.

[Mike]

I'm still sipping on my confetti cake.

[Greg Miller]

This cake.

[Mike]

Confetti cake.

[Greg Miller]

This cake's coming to my desk. All right. I want you to know. Oh, yeah. Crate of cake is coming to my desk.

[Mike]

Sounds so good.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

You have been on that thing all day. Well, if you're going to work so

[Mike]

late, I got to give him credit. It looks good. It looks good. I wouldn't be mad. I wouldn't be mad.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

What you always do, nag at me until I go to bed. It's really coming down hard.

[Greg Miller]

Chat. You let me know what you want. I guess we're almost there already. I was gonna say chat. Let me know if you want me to skip this. Because this was the demo, obviously. But we're here. It's almost over. We're gonna answer the phone.

[Mike]

It's all so good. Hello?

[Greg Miller]

Ms. Ashcroft?

[Mike]

Yes.

[Greg Miller]

Man, I didn't think about that. Darky. No.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Dark. Maybe it's dark.

[Mike]

Dark Re. Dark replays.

[Greg Miller]

Dark replays. I'll be up for Fire Red. I'll be up but for Firered. Lol. Me and Tim here in the morning. We're gonna be here 5:40 in the morning live, waiting for that Pokemon direct. You're goddamn right. I'll be drinking one of these.

[Mike]

This has got to be one of the best days in gaming.

[Greg Miller]

Right?

[Mike]

This is gonna go down as an all timer.

[Greg Miller]

Then I start playing leaf green right after very stuff.

[Mike]

I cannot wait to celebrate with you, Greg. To look back, you know, I built a. Built a Tahoe team. What I'd like you to do, Greg.

[Greg Miller]

Sure.

[Mike]

When you're sitting around and you're thinking about Pokemon. I know you're new to the Pokemon world, but you've seen enough of them.

[Greg Miller]

Not anymore.

[Mike]

I want you to think about your. Glenn Ellen, Illinois.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

If there was a Pokemon trainer and a Pokemon gym leader there, what would be the big six. Because I made the Tahoe six.

[Greg Miller]

What did you base it on? I nailed skiing and swimming.

[Mike]

Yeah, of course. I nailed just what is Tahoe to me? To you? When you look at a mood board of Lake Tahoe, what would be the six Pokemon that you would go up and see and possibly fight and we nailed it. We nailed it.

[Greg Miller]

Damn. Okay. I like that idea. But I, you know, I put up on Instagram the other day. They did the thing where, you know. Put up your six. Yeah, I did it. I crushed it. That's my six. That's not the Glen Ellen six, you know.

[Mike]

Okay, okay.

[Greg Miller]

That's your six suburbs of Chicago six. They be overweight, angry, sweaty. They're.

[Mike]

They.

[Greg Miller]

They hate the winners, but they stay there for some reason. You know what I mean? Oh, I'm so sorry about the power outage. Shit's about to get really off. Oh, it's probably the electrical panel. It's 40 years old, so it doesn't create. Makes stuff says, wait, this is the Switch version. I literally saw KF was streaming, click the button and saw they were playing it. Holy crap. This looks incredible. We are still playing the Switch version here.

[Mike]

I should have it fixed soon. I just need to find my. Dear God, what a way to go.

[Greg Miller]

As I think it was blessing called out when we watched this demo. Why would you use the bag? You're just going to stab him in the face or the throat?

[Narrator/Voiceover]

What the hell?

[Greg Miller]

What the hell? Mom. A Go, go, go. Ghost.

[Mike]

Oh, no.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Brace. Stay close to me. Are you gonna tell me what's going on? Mom, what are you doing? Something important.

[Mike]

I'm gonna put this behind this painting. Nobody will ever know.

[Greg Miller]

Love it. They never. They never look for it there. Would you look for it there?

[Mike]

You know what? I wouldn't. I wouldn't.

[Greg Miller]

I've been hiding things behind that painting of Kevin in the bathroom for years. Nobody's caught me.

[Mike]

I just put sticky notes behind it.

[Greg Miller]

Don't trust his lies, Grace.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Come on.

[Greg Miller]

What a game.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Like everybody for real. Resident Evil Requiem is a freaking.

[Mike]

Someone asked, is it a contender?

[Greg Miller]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

I'm happy to tell you it is a very big contender.

[Greg Miller]

This is gonna be on Kinda Funny's top ten.

[Mike]

This will be a top five for Kinda Funny. I think. I think this is gonna go down top five.

[Greg Miller]

Big year of games. I won't go that far yet.

[Mike]

Whoa.

[Greg Miller]

I'm not locking in that early.

[Mike]

This thing is that good, man.

[Greg Miller]

Mike Skate season three comes out in two weeks. Yes.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Hurry, please. The police are on their way.

[Greg Miller]

They won't get here in time. You need Batman.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

I feel like I'm gonna throw up. Grace, Grace, look at me. Grab my hands.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Look at me.

[Mike]

But you gotta tighten it up.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. You're never gonna be an FBI agent.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Like this.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Breathe in.

[Greg Miller]

One Last Ride says not the Lylander. One Last Ride.

[Mike]

That was pretty funny that you said that. That was great.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

This all to you one of these days.

[Greg Miller]

Solid Python says this game is gonna sell like hotcakes on Switch two. I hope so.

[Mike]

On Switch two. Yeah. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Cakes period.

[Mike]

It'll be fun to track. Like. Yeah. What does that install base look like? It's got to be big, though. One of the first big third party games on that alongside like Final Fantasy now.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

I love you too.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Mom, I'm scared.

[Greg Miller]

No, no, no.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

We need to find a way out of here now. But we don't have any of our stuff. We can come back for it later.

[Greg Miller]

Our stuff. Get going. I knew that was gonna happen. And there, I think one of the ones where I'm like, that doesn't look great.

[Mike]

Oh, okay. Really?

[Greg Miller]

Is that how it looks on yours? PlayStation?

[Mike]

I looked away, so I missed that moment right there. But like, it's tough because I'm looking at two different screens here. I think it looks fine.

[Greg Miller]

I don't need to guess.

[Mike]

Let's switch. All right, let's switch it right now.

[Greg Miller]

All together. We're gonna speed run this portion to skip all the cutscenes and see how that looks. All right. I jumped out to this, by the way.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, you wanted to kick out.

[Greg Miller]

We wanted to make sure the settings

[Mike]

were good before everything was set.

[Greg Miller]

I love this too, by the way. The. Hey, let's remind you of the last beat in the game.

[Mike]

Oh, I also.

[Greg Miller]

Every time you. Oh, fuck, I'm on the way out here. Every time you jump back in the game, it gives you the. Hey, this is what's going on.

[Mike]

I. Greg, it loaded so fast. I never even saw this.

[Greg Miller]

Funny, that's how it doesn't load as fast on Switch.

[Mike]

Then PlayStation.

[Greg Miller]

Not terrible.

[Mike]

That thing was firing on all cylinders. Fast. Like you bring that up, I don't think I looked at those once. It was so quick. I caught myself most of the time going, oh, man, I should be pressing X right now. I'm wasting my time.

[Greg Miller]

Sure, sure, sure. Two seconds, everybody. Two minutes. Turkish, I'll have you out of here.

[Mike]

Oh, Dark Re says Bil Bill only has a Switch 2 and is a huge fan. He bought the pack with seven Eight, nine. Did you see that? They have a big old pack. Yeah, that's cool. That's very cool.

[Greg Miller]

Who's Bill?

[Mike]

That's what they wrote. Dark replays. B I L. Bachelor in my life.

[Greg Miller]

Okay. Okay. Obviously, I didn't know if we knew. Brother in law.

[Mike]

Brother in law is good. Yep. Sorry. I'm not married, so I would never understand that you just have these children. Yeah, I just have these children.

[Greg Miller]

What do we do with that now? Sarah Bond gone. So now do we. Do we sunset the joke that you have children because now no one understands? Or does Sarah Bond in her new life as a jet setter, unemployed person. Is she gonna send you Father's Day gifts?

[Mike]

Wherever Sarah Bond may go or whatever she may do, you never know. We'll have to find out this Father's Day.

[Greg Miller]

All right.

[Mike]

We'll find out if Sarah Bond remembers and sends one out. You know what I mean?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. We sunset the children's jobs.

[Mike]

How's the split? Joy con gyro aiming. Very excited for that. Stop it.

[Greg Miller]

Never did it.

[Mike]

No.

[Greg Miller]

Really, when we go back, we'll do that for you.

[Mike]

I would love to see that. That would be cool. Do they have mouse and keyboard control then? Or like mouse? I don't know mouse.

[Greg Miller]

You know me. I didn't try that.

[Mike]

Okay. We might mess around then for a minute, y'.

[Greg Miller]

All. We gotta mess around.

[Mike]

Let's mess around on the end of this. Gamescast plays we'll take on your questions and fun ideas like that.

[Greg Miller]

Here we are. Right back to it. See how fast I want. Post. Blink says, oh, my God. Sarah Bond took the children and ran.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Stay close,

[Mike]

Mom.

[Greg Miller]

Wait.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Grace. Come on. Keep going.

[Greg Miller]

I'm coming.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Grace.

[Greg Miller]

Hurry.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Keep moving.

[Mike]

Solid Python says battery's probably 2ish hours. Like all demanding games on the switch too. Do you have a read on that? Did you push it to the limits on your switch?

[Greg Miller]

Not in a way where I was paying attention.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Greg Miller]

I feel like my. I. My one, not my one. Yeah. Probably my biggest criticism. The switch is how bad the battery is.

[Mike]

Okay. Oh.

[Greg Miller]

But, like, no, I never got into trouble with it, but I'm also. I'm walking with. I'm keeping the battery packs with me.

[Mike]

Of course, of course, of course.

[Greg Miller]

I'm not gonna skip it. I'm not sure if this.

[Mike]

Yeah. You want to see mom get murdered.

[Greg Miller]

I'm not sure if this is where she gets it or if murder. It is. It is.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Murders.

[Greg Miller]

Grace.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Yes, The Renwood Hotel.

[Greg Miller]

Yes.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Hurry, please. The police are on their way. Oh, God.

[Greg Miller]

I Think there might be.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Oh, I feel like I'm.

[Mike]

This is it right now. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Grace.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

Look at me. Look at me. In and out. Breathe in and out. Oh, Grace, I promise you I will explain this all to you one of these days.

[Greg Miller]

Grace.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Please know that you are my hope. Never forget that. What are you talking about? Just. I love you.

[Mike]

Look at that hair. Just kind of softly low clipping through the glasses. I was looking at the mom. You're right. Looking at the mom.

[Greg Miller]

We need to find the hair. Does look good. Ah, no, it looks pretty comfortable. I thought.

[Mike]

Yeah, I don't think it was that crazy.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. Okay, thanks, everybody. All right, let's go try some of the gyro aiming now.

[Mike]

I like that. Let's try the gyro aiming. We're going to switch over to switch 2. Once again, you've been with Mike and Greg for this gamescast plays where we've been jumping back and forth between really the opening 10 minutes or so of Resident Evil 9 to show you the PlayStation 5 Pro version and of course the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game. Right now we're going to switch over and we're going to pop out those Joy Cons and Greg is going to mess around with what will be. It could be some fun gyro aiming, maybe even. We'll see. I. I don't know much about this.

[Greg Miller]

You go play the go. I already told you to play the game.

[Mike]

And then, most importantly, thank you to our sponsors for today. Five Hour Energy, providing us with the energy and fun to get through the day and be our very best selves. Right now you have three fun flavors with Fruity Rainbow, Cotton Fan, Cotton Candy, Our confetti craze, and cotton Candy. Type an exclamation point Energy anytime throughout today's stream to go.

[Greg Miller]

There we go. There we go. We're up and running here. We're up and running there. We're going up there. We're going to have fun playing the game. Now. I Gyro aim.

[Mike]

Maybe hit that like I'm a wizard.

[Greg Miller]

Like I'm a wizard. I'm an idiot. I'm so sick. And then I. I'll try the. No, nothing. It's not doing the mouse thing.

[Mike]

Yeah, maybe go into the settings first. I bet you.

[Greg Miller]

How about you just shut up?

[Mike]

Shut up.

[Greg Miller]

All right?

[Mike]

Shut up.

[Greg Miller]

Drink some of your energy. Leave me alone. So, aim, Assist, Reticle. Magnificent dots. Maybe I do it from the main menu controller.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Greg Miller]

Rumble Normal.

[Mike]

They got a crazy Rumble. They can have more rumble.

[Greg Miller]

Even a strong.

[Mike]

Oh, shucks.

[Greg Miller]

Okay, I'll put on strong one. Camera. Normal gameplay, camera level.

[Mike]

Also, big kudos to the team at Capcom for the two different perspectives. And of course, the option for you to choose what perspective you would like, whether it be first person or third person on both of the playable characters. I'll tell you, just keep it locked. Keep it locked in how they gave it to you. It is so much fun. But do you, You know it says you passed it.

[Greg Miller]

Well, how about you tell us instead of just crashed it, tell us where it is. You drink your five hour energy. I will not. You know them.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah. Drink your five hour energy. I think they're probably seeing motion.

[Greg Miller]

Qi just saw. Oi. Qi just saw motion control.

[Mike]

Oi.

[Greg Miller]

Did you see motion sickness?

[Mike]

He saw motion controls. Jabroni.

[Greg Miller]

Did you see it? Controls scroll down.

[Mike]

Far as you want to go.

[Greg Miller]

What do you mean scroll down controller.

[Mike]

Now.

[Greg Miller]

They didn't see it says motion controls off. Where? Yeah, everybody stop saying. You say under this. That they do do what you do. You know what I mean?

[Mike]

Yeah, that's empty. We're good.

[Greg Miller]

Stg. It's hud. Under camera. Thank you. Oh, there we go. Thank you.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Greg Miller]

The camera when Amy is moved based on the motion controls and shoulder. All right, let's try it out. Oh, shit.

[Mike]

Oh, shucks.

[Greg Miller]

God dang, guys, that actually feels really good. Now, I heard from, you know, our PlayStation brethren, everybody who. In the review, a lot of people there were talking about using the gyro on the. The dual sense to shoot.

[Mike]

What?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

No, no, that's just crazy. I don't know.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, I would do it. You know what I mean? This is like when Tim was reviewing Metroid and I look over at him, he's like. And he's like, down like this. I'm like, you dork. He couldn't drink 5rng if his life depended on it.

[Mike]

Do you have to keep it flat or can you hold it however you want and then move it?

[Greg Miller]

What do you mean?

[Mike]

Like, like, like flat, like your normal holding two joy cons. Yeah, like that. And then like, flat would be like. You have to lift it up.

[Greg Miller]

Once I go. Once I do it, it's. It's. It's done.

[Mike]

So when you're not. Wherever I.

[Greg Miller]

Wherever I drop it is where it's starting from.

[Mike]

Oh, so it's only shooting controls.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like it's not looking around, right?

[Greg Miller]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Mike]

I'll see. That was my worries. You're just Looking around the whole time.

[Greg Miller]

No, this is like, you know, Andy Cortez kind of stuff.

[Mike]

Kind of cool.

[Greg Miller]

It's. Yeah.

[Mike]

Could I. Now hold. Aim. But hold it like sideways, almost like. No, yeah, like that. Like top wise. Now like that. Yeah, yeah. And then flip. Rotate your wrist 45 to the top. Yeah, right there. And then move it normal. Is it upside down or is that moving? Oh, I like that. I like that. Yeah, that's cool.

[Greg Miller]

This is what we do on gamescast plays everybody.

[Mike]

So what could you do?

[Greg Miller]

Breaking news says Batman fan. DC Paramount has purchased wb.

[Mike]

You called that. You called that.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, we got big plans for the WB games.

[Mike]

Oh, my God.

[Greg Miller]

Sure you do. Sure you do.

[Mike]

Oh, my gosh.

[Greg Miller]

You're out of a job. Paramount plus.

[Mike]

Now I gotta sign up for Paramount Plus.

[Greg Miller]

Me and Kevin just remembered our password this week.

[Mike]

I've been subscribed to Paramount plus for like, four months now because they had football. So it's like I'm signed up to all of these things because everybody's got football and. And television on each one of these. It sucks. It's the worst.

[Greg Miller]

Travzilla says so, Greg, this is your second playthrough, correct? Yeah. I beat the game and have not. This is the first time starting a new one. I got it. The McGuffin. Remember when mom hid this?

[Mike]

Yep. Mom hid that. Now we got it.

[Mike]

Yeah. What's that?

[Greg Miller]

Oh, a floppy disc in this day and age? Kind of looks like UMD, though.

[Mike]

That's what I thought, Greg. Or a GameCube disc.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Oh, sorry.

[Greg Miller]

John Cena's back. His chin's way more John Cena than John Hamm. You're crazy. Something stung me.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Are you okay? What do I do?

[Greg Miller]

Netflix has four days to match it,

[Mike]

apparently, so we're just gonna continue in this limbo for a while.

[Greg Miller]

That the teeth man?

[Mike]

Yeah. That's not a good scene.

[Greg Miller]

I don't need that. That's Andy Cortez. Here we go.

[Mike]

Yes. This is a good one. Just a good moment. Oh, yeah. Oh, Greg. He's got a shotgun. Watch out.

[Greg Miller]

He got a boomstick. But I got Wii motion control, so I'm fine.

[Mike]

She's not locked in like she should.

[Greg Miller]

No. You and Me would be such.

[Mike]

She should be ready to rock.

[Greg Miller]

Yowzer.

[Mike]

Brutal.

[Greg Miller]

And the crunchiness of it. They know what they're doing. They know what they're doing. It's disgusting.

[Mike]

I mean, no lie, it looks great.

[Greg Miller]

And already like the tension of this right now, I don't know how it sounds for you, but him growling in my ear is right behind me. What a game, everybody.

[Mike]

The footsteps, the. The growls. Everything is when you're.

[Greg Miller]

When you're in Amazon. When you're on Amazon buying 5 Hour Energy. Buy Resi. The Requiem too.

[Mike]

Confetti Craze. Fruity Rainbow.

[Greg Miller]

This part hurts. That's not good. Mike, you don't want to get bit.

[Mike]

No, you don't want to get bit. Nobody wants to get bit. We've seen it before. We know what this could lead to. But like, you do get to live forever though,

[Greg Miller]

[Mike]

I don't know. They be walking around forever. You get to shuffle forever. Is.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Is anyone there?

[Greg Miller]

You know what I say? Tell me, FBI, what's going on up there?

[Mike]

I've been bit. Help me.

[Greg Miller]

Jtinch94 Greg, are you worried about D.C. with Paramount taking over WB? Because I am, yes. Terrified. Now, granted, I would argue WB has not been well run either, but yeah, as we've seen from video games, is consolidation. Every gun. What does this mean for the man? Jim Lee. James Gunn.

[Mike]

That's my. Oh, no. Greg.

[Greg Miller]

Creep.

[Mike]

Hello?

[Greg Miller]

Jamie says, is the whole game taking place during a flashback? Grace is basically remembering what she went through. No, we have ended the flashback. We cut. We skipped cut scenes to get back. Sorry. This is present time.

[Narrator/Voiceover]

Who are you?

[Greg Miller]

Look at.

[Mike]

This is her eight years ago, returning to the scene of the crime.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, exactly. Her mom died here. We saw. I'm the one that brought you here. I know now that you're the one that I've been searching for. The special one. The chosen one. Ms. Ashcraft. FBI. Get on the ground. You know what I mean. Ambrosia Jam Super Chats. FBI. Open up. And then this one just.

[Mike]

This guy's. For real? For real.

[Greg Miller]

Just, you know, Cool Hand Puke says. Is this scarier than seven in your opinion? Yeah, I think so.

[Mike]

I.

[Greg Miller]

But seven I played in VR, which gave it a completely different take. And it was also so new to play Resident Evil in first person that way.

[Mike]

I think this one keeps the horror going longer than seven did. I think the initial seven was very scary. But I think like with all of these, the horror drop off is pretty quick. Yeah, I think this one maintains its level of horror. Longer than really any of the recent

[Greg Miller]

Resident Evils whizpig tactics joins us and says, damn, this is really on Switch 2. This is really on Switch to. And you're about to meet the mother

[Mike]

freaking man rolling up in his Porsche.

[Greg Miller]

Such a big deal about this stupid car.

[Mike]

I love it, man. And they make a big deal of it. They definitely give it some time.

[Greg Miller]

Shout out to you Five Hour Energy for sponsoring this. Remember, go order now5hourenergy.com or Amazon, everybody.

[Mike]

[Greg Miller]

Now six survives the cake. Tastes like cake dead from the same thing.

[Mike]

Yeah, here it is.

[Greg Miller]

No, here's my Porsche. No, it's not. You remember when 007

[Mike]

we were laughing about that one. And you know what? I laughed about the same thing. When they announced this during the Resident Evil showcase.

[Greg Miller]

[Greg Miller]

B, some of the edges.

[Mike]

Look at this car. Come on.

[Greg Miller]

Check it out. It's. I mean like I we. Product placement. Yeah, but like it's cool.

[Mike]

It made it look very cool.

[Greg Miller]

It was egregious, but in the way it works in the Resident Evil universe, if that makes sense.

[Mike]

And it wasn't too bad. The watch. You'll see the watch as well. Remember, they're watching. Yeah, they got special watches. Those will pop up.

[Greg Miller]

This. I was dying on my couch at this. This guy just walks out into the street with his woman draped over his shoulder. Now granted, people do react, but like as you're watching this ridiculous. And Leon just drives up. He's like, what the hell's that?

[Greg Miller]

Hard to control any other way. Right. But it'd be cool.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah. That's fun. This is a fun little one. I don't know if I'd play the whole game with it, but I'd definitely have a fun night. Smiling. Yeah.
