    1:05:26 I don’t understand Jez’s point here. The 2018 studios (outside of Playground Games) were studios facing a lot of trouble being independent. Obsidian being multi platform did not stop them from struggling to make games with publishers or having to crowd fund them. They should be flourishing as a 1st Party precisely because they now have resources & can focus on one platform (outside of PC).

    Xbox need to sort out branding for games going to Playstation/ Switch, where's the splash screen? Where's the xbox login requirement? Make casuals see that Xbox logo
  • @Ciki92
    Of course Rand is playing a newly released game...... shocker. Cyberpunk, lies of P crying in the corner
  • @ohmnesia
    02:19:54 I will never forget when Outer Wilds came out, I sent a superchat asking Rand and Jez if they will play it and they thought I was talking about the Outer Worlds. :( That was so disappointing.

    @1:05:00 As someone deeply interested in medieval history Jez, I suppose I’m an outlier here but the only one of these four titles that has me excited is indeed Pentiment. I dislike anything rhythm based so HiFi-Rush is unappealing to me, and the aesthetic of both SoT and Grounded is quite garish and a major turn off. And that’s beside my general disdain for live service titles. I immediately preordered the physical disc for Pentiment and am eagerly looking forward to it.
  • Xcloud at 1080p has lower latency because playstation streams at 4k. No?

    Shadow of the erdtree is gonna blow away every other game.

    In 1983 home video game revenue peaked at around $3.2 billion, then fell to around $100 million by 1985. That was a crash. Does sound like a bad time to be working on licensed games tho.
  • @chadhoganlive
    Rand, where have you been on your regular channel??
  • U guys got to play Banishers. What a game. Very underrated so far by the main reviewers like typical ign. I think the story alone brings the game to a 8. I got 10 hours in right now
  • @Amar-xp7nv
    Please stop eating during the podcast, we can hear it in the background. 😅
  • @chesron456
    Nothing about the Sweet Baby Inc. controversy and nothing about the PS Cloud vs xCloud video from Digital Foundry? You guys are missing important topics from last week…

    I drove an hour+ one way to experience DUNE on the IMAX, ABSOLUTELY WORTH EVERY MOMENT OF THE DRIVE AND THE COST OF ADMINISTRATION! 3:17:46
