0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:35 Welcome to the castle super E3 sucked cast~! Did you know all those game showcases pat covered that spawned off of E3’s death actually sucked WAY more?!

 - 1:39 pat watched them all. Woolie watched none of them. Pat having the same conversation with paige for every one where they all sucked until he decided to finally skip the last one

 - 3:16 so… only really that street fighter announcement, huh? And pat describes all that was really bad with all these game shows.

 - 5:16 the latin american games show was the best one.

 - 5:39 woolie has some stuff he wants to talk about, but there’s probably blind spots. And Xbox just lying on stage probably.

6:42 so, anything with the weeks before this stuff? And again more technical difficulties.

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS

WOOLIE

7:49 nightmare kart came out. It was rad. The amount they changed from bloodborne kart is just bordering on legally distinct

 - 9:08 Pat confirms it has controller support. They made sure it has amazing support and all the filters you could want

 - 10:10 it's your classic mario kart. Make sure to kill to up your top speed.

 - 12:23 theres a basic starting roster, and the tracks are visually great. Suzi and gianni are in it.

 - 13:46 theres a lot of codes in the game. Ones called ‘I changed my mind’ that does nothing.

 - 14:11 you can go get it from a lot of places. Its free, and pay what you want.

15:15 an hour and a half from finishing crow country. He has reached the basement.

 - 16:07 whatever the estimated time is, it’s longer on stream for stuff like voicing all the dialogue.

 - 16:52 Woolie’s enjoying crow country. He’s got some ideas toward the main mystery. Not quite getting some of the nostalgia references it's making.

 - 17:54 you WILL interact with our monsters instead of running around them! And the spike strips are hard mode only.

 - 19:40 gas, fake items, the bear traps, getting poisoned.

 - 20:38 two major bummers so far: the mushroom room sucks. Ring that bell!

 - - 23:08 tone bummer: walking into the dig site.  

 - - 25:01 there’s some enemies that are outside your comprehension because they are bigger than your camera.

 - - 25:33 Ever had a moment where there was a cool interesting setup and didint deliver? In pats experience it's the opposite and they over deliver.

26:40 slayer is out for strive. Dandy step is back. He still loves his wife.

 - 27:55 getting the bite feels great. He’s great on the ground but sucks in the air.

 - 28:58 what if strive came out and people didnt like him. Akuma vs. Marisa.

 - - 29:44 the debate about new characters at a tournament with CEO banning bison

 - - 31:13 what would capcom do for CPT purposes? The patch going through but not the character.

 - - 32:35 there’s been stuff day of and patches that have been bad

PAT

34:27 Pat had stuff too! The baby LOVES lemons. And that zangief buff is real. Pat is now diamond 4.  

 - 35:27 pat REFUSES training mode. Learning confirms and counters in match. Woolie says that's fine if you never get salty.

 - 37:21 inventing specific anti-pat akuma tech

 - - 39:06 There's a lot of Akumas out there. You’ll get a lot of practice.

 - 40:16 so, bison’s in two weeks.

42:06 go check out woolie over at woolieversus! He’ll finish crow country, more yakuza 0, and a sponsored stream for SMTV vengeance. Saturday and sunday is UMAD! The venue is at that one church with a boxing gym.

44:33 go check out patstaresat, although he’ll be taking a short break this week. But when he gets back, he’ll play FFVII and SMT. Pats decided to do the side content off camera.

GAME SHOW NEWS

45:30 look at ALL these games shows that happened this week! Pat doesnt even remember watching one of them!

 - 46:27 woolie gives a shoutout to 2024.gamesrecap.io! Has the game trailers listed by a bunch of metrics.

 -47:54 theres even MORE shows happening right now!  

49:05 street fighter VI year 2 character reveals. Just throwing the whole season out there. Terry is here!

 - 50:15 ken and terry are the same guy. Luke and jamie are totally roommates.

 - 51:24 letting guests into street fighter. Akuma in tekken turned out great, especially since he was canon there.

 - 53:30 time to do some speculation on guest characters. Gotta look like they hopped off the bus and drove to that location.

 - 54:45 Mai is in! And half the season being guests. Elena is in despite her ranking lower than someone like ibuki

 - 56:53 terry costumes, and what about specific intros?

 - - 57:38 Mai costumes

 - 57:58 old character, new character, old character, new character.

 - 59:32 Elena is here too! Time for healing to return.

 - 1:00:50 so M. bison is back. No new body, but a new mind. He does look pretty sick. Street fighter alpha the movie flashbacks.

 - 1:02:29 so he’s got a cloak now. And a horse. What if the horse is bison?

 - - 1:03:18 so where’d we leave off storywise in SFV with bison? And JP just getting psycho power.

 - - 1:04:50 is it him? Seems to be yeah.Now he’s got soul power stuff. White woman normals.

 - - 1:06:55 Anything else besides what you’d expect? And is he responsible for terry and mai showing up? Is it actually portals?

 - - 1:10:16 new moveset stuff.

 - - - 1:11:26 the screenshot from the trailer. No fatal fury games there, just past street fighter games.

 - - - 1:14:18 back on the moveset changes. Omega mode. And props to EX.

 - - - 1:17:22 th concept art stuff. Falling to pieces.

 - - 1:18:18 bison continues to be unable to swap bodies. Time for all those other characters’ paranoia to be real

 - - - 1:21:46 negative pathos. “Why are you here, bison?!” “getting a sandwich.” and how will bison teach you? And akuma being his antithesis.

 - - - 1:23:40 does bison even know his own moves?

 - - - 1:24:47 all the soul/psycho power users have different moves.

1:26:23 does this mean city of the wolves will get a guest character? Who could walk in?

 - 1:28:24 an announcement for b. jenet

 - 1:29:46 vox reaper. It's Grant’s disciple.

 - 1:31:29 we have a theme song that fighting game trailer core.

1:33:27 avowed had a small trailer, and then put out half an hour of footage after.

1:34:18 the dragon age veilgard trailer that was made during the hero shooter era. Makes it look like overwatch RPG. dragon age having the worst marketing.

1:38:15 slitterhead looks terrible and pat is interested in it. From the director of SH1 and gravity rush. Minjack and omikron in it too…?

1:40:30 power rangers rewind. Retro beat ‘em up. Has some fun minigames.  

1:41:23 killer bean. Also more discord issues.

1:43:00 palworld’s update: sakurajima. It's still in early access. It looks good.

1:44:26 new dredge content. The iron rig.

1:45:30 Civ VII. just wait until at least two expansions drop, like always.

1:45:57 dragon ball: sparking zero.  

1:47:35 mecha break looks great. Big mecha porn.

1:48:44 alan wake 2 night springs DLC. So even more Control in it now.

1:50:19 among us animated series. And some other stuff from the studio branching out

1:52:02 wanderstop. Ex-fighter running a tea shop. And the wholesome games direct should be axed, according to pat.

 - 1:56:28 pat recalls satisfactory. But it doesn't fall into the aesthetic of the wholesome game direct. Comparing to the latin american games direct with different flavors of regions.

 - 1:58:23 woolie plays the devils advocate with the idea of someone that sees fighting games as an outsider and saying they look similarish.

1:59:53 Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. Youkai tower defense.

2:02:45 phantom blade zero. Japanese style music vs. japanese music. There being a lot of these japanese games.

 - 2:05:09 yasuke has a hiphop soundtrack only for him in the assassin creed game. And spiderman.

2:07:18 Skate. It's in pre-pre-alpha. Skate 4 was announced before the pandemic happened.

2:08:57 how long is too long to keep your game in development when you announced it? Let's talk about silksong.

 - 2:11:46 pat went down the rabbit hole today to determine if his feelings were justified. Going over the silksong timeline.

 - 2:16:56 the devs on why they haven't posted updates. Too busy to post them.

 - 2:19:53 Pat feels they are trapped by not having a due date. And the scope of the game.

 - 2:21:58 the high school test, and the year delay from the only release date the community had.

 - 2:24:12 what is the best way to deliver bad news? Look at the deltarune blogposts.

 - 2:28:16 the team size of team cherry. Does the pandemic affect a studio of that size?

 - 2:29:50 the ‘hire more people’ idea.

 - 2:31:07 the second problem of people who aren't super into it vs. people who are. Woolie recalls mangaka who lost steam.

 - 2:34:19 pat has found the PR and marketing guy for hollow knight. He’s also the guy supposedly promoting crowsworn.

 - 2:36:46 the ‘that games not coming out’ metric. Remember beyond good and evil 2?

 - 2:39:43 silksong and elden ring. And silksong at the mercy of video game expectations. Sakurai and trading life for game.

2:43:06 SPONSOR: SHOPIFY

2:45:46 SPONSOR 2: FACTOR

2:48:08 Woolie is going with punch mom to greece. He might be able to do a meetup there.

2:51:20 Phil Spencer talking about a handheld xbox. Its too late.

2:52:09 Gears of war: E day. Gears of war 5 leaves off on a cliffhanger. And now we’re going back in time.

 - 2:54:29 on the ending of gears 5 from the devs. Making a definitive moment that you can’t jump past.

 - 2:56:45 pat’s hot take: if you have a decision where a major character dies, that is a huge mistake.

 - - 2:57:54 how larian handles it, they were both on the back of the snowmobile!

 - - - 2:59:29 veilgard will have a website where you can put in your choices from previous games. Which will probably amount to five second interaction differences.

 - 3:00:36 look forward to gears of war E day 2-4. Or the pendulum wars. Or even earlier. And pat’s speculation on the origin of the chainsaw bayonet. And he learns Marcus did that in the books.

3:04:14 more assassin’s creed shadows, avowed, and indiana jones and the great circle. Apparently its a wolfenstein clone.

3:05:20 doom the dark ages. He gets in a mech! And they confirmed you can use anything on any enemy.

 - 3:07:02 the overwhelming feeling of a third of these studios will be closed and these games will come to steam

 - 3:07:56 the music is done by the guy who did eternal’s soundtrack

3:08:15 Clair Obscur: expedition 33. A setting in which a witch writes a number and everyone of that age dies. It's an RPG by the french who are former ubisoft devs. The original codename for it was project W.

 - 3:11:56 pat explains the significance of project W. eidos montreal’s final fantasy game that got canceled.

3:16:00 perfect dark. Crystal dynamics are still doing stuff.

3:17:35 a new life is strange game, double exposure.
