hello folks today is Friday January 27
2023 as usual it’s me Jake baldino your
Tired video game friend here to talk
about all the video game news that has
been going on this week we got a lot of
spicy good news so let’s just jump right
into it the first is actually Tomb
Raider making headlines yes you probably
remember that a new Tomb Raider has been
in the works for a while we’ve talked
about it uh they actually officially
announced that they were working on a
thing but information has been pretty
slight but it seems like that might end
soon according to an Insider who has
leaked some things before uh Miller Ross
Crystal Dynamics has moved on to this
new Tomb Raider game fully and
officially and with full-scale
development going on according to this
report this is all rumors of course take
it with a grain of salt but apparently
there is quote unquote pressure to
announce or reveal the game soon with
the expected time supposed to be later
this year now with pressure to show
something or at least announce the game
I don’t like that I am at this point I
don’t want to hear about a game for four
years and until it comes out I like
quick release Cycles I also don’t want
them to rush making the game and we’ve
talked about that so many times here on
the show but from what we knew a couple
of months ago it is just a quote single
player narrative driven Adventure that
continues Lara croft’s story it’s going
to be published by Amazon and it’s going
to be multi-platform that part is not
new but I’m still just curious to see
what this Tomb Raider game is gonna be
as an old school Tomb Raider fan I’d
like a little bit of a return to form or
even an Angel of Darkness type of thing
because I’m a weird freak but hey that’s
just me let me know what you think Angel
of Darkness is tight though Angel of
Darkness is so cool so come on it’s a
mess but it’s cool and in other news a
bunch of Hogwarts Legacy news has hit
the internet this week with uh Hands-On
previews of the game for some YouTubers
and press Outlets we weren’t a part of
that but uh the big news that I saw from
this is that there’s going to be over a
hundred side quests which is pretty
interesting I think the jury’s still out
whether or not they’re actually
compelling but the developers did do an
interview and talk with Games Radar
which we’ll Link in the description down
below that said that interactions with
characters inside objectives and Side
Stories can actually affect how they
interact during main story quests
apparently there’s a lot of branching
stuff some choices to make kind of your
own story and things get pretty
complicated their words are manipulate
the main campaign but we’ve seen so many
games where it’s like you can make
choices and how much do they really
matter so we’re gonna have to wait and
see but thankfully the game is releasing
soon so we don’t have to speculate much
longer then of course we got to talk
about the day before news now the day
before is a game that we thought looked
pretty cool back when it was first
revealed we talked about the newest
gameplay that we finally got to see from
it not looking so hot people have been
kind of really speculating about this
one for a while some people say the game
isn’t even real it doesn’t even exist uh
there’s been a lot now with the game
being delayed once again from March to
November according to the developers
there was a trademark dispute that
cropped up last minute around the title
the day before in a statement to IGN the
developers said we plan to move the
game’s release before and plan to
announce it with the publisher in a
10-minute gameplay video and then you
all know what happened so to be on the
safe side to ensure there are no more
transfers we along with the publisher
chose November 10th as a date that is a
safe date given the trademark dispute
it’s kind of like a weird thing to pop
up that last minute though right the
developers did also put out a big
statement of saying like hey all the
speculation and the people saying that
our game isn’t even real it hurts for
all the people working on it so I can
have some sympathy there I’m still
waiting to see what the deal is I judge
a game when I play it in my hands fully
so I’m looking forward to finally seeing
what the deal is with this thing because
this Saga has been going on for quite a
while now that being said and of course
I’ll link that statement that they gave
to IGN and their response and everything
in the description down below I want to
hear from you guys what do you think
about the day before because uh boy day
before day one you and me Squad up let’s
do it
if it ever happens ever in other news
something I wanted to talk about for a
second is uh the fact that naughty dog
has now like officially said once again
reiterated that they are moving on from
Uncharted this comes from an interview
uh with Neil druckman he said and I
quote uh for us Uncharted was insanely
successful Uncharted 4 was one of our
best selling games and we’re able to put
our final brush stroke on that story and
say that we’re done we’re moving on so
there you have it officially from the
horse’s mouth from Naughty Dog
leadership we’ve kind of like known that
that was the whole point with the end of
that story I think that being said I was
baited a little bit because we had lost
Legacy which I actually thought was
really good and kind of proved to me
that we could have an Uncharted game
without Nathan Drake but hearing it
straight up from the horse’s mouth and
like it hit headlines again it kind of
just like reminded me damn I could still
go for a little Uncharted but naughty
dog has been kind of making playful
statements uh about the last of us three
if they’re ever gonna make it well they
won’t they they played that game before
Last of Us Part Two was has ever
announced so speculation around Naughty
Dog games can be fun I’m just still
sitting here hoping that they go back to
making cartoon games they’re probably
absolutely definitely not oh but
speaking of moving on a big story that
uh was kind of actually it dropped right
after the Friday show last week but uh
Avengers is officially shutting down its
its doors shutting down its doors
they’re okay they’re not supporting the
game anymore uh updates and content and
stuff are ceasing in March and the game
you’re still going to be able to play it
and access it online or offline but
that’s it for them they’re they’re done
with this one uh they’re also opening up
the marketplace and giving away
everything for free which this is where
things get kind of interesting right
where it’s like every game is like a
games as a servicey type game and it’s
like yeah it’s Gotta you spend money in
it because you’re gonna be playing it
forever right and then you don’t play it
forever and you spent all this money on
all these digital goods and then
you know a year later they’re like just
kidding everybody gets it for free what
the [ __ ]
[Laughter]
am I man I don’t know
if you’re somebody that maybe jumped
into Avengers a little bit later maybe
with the Black Panther DLC and then you
like bought some skins and stuff uh are
you bummed that everybody’s gonna be
able to get access to everything like
what what do you what does this mean I
think most people are just gonna like
make fun of Avengers and stuff like that
but there were people who played it who
either stuck with it or who jumped on
later once it got kind of cleaned up but
it’s another video game casualty because
like I think it deserved something
because Avengers is massive it is a huge
property and if there was a game to go
on endlessly and have people play like a
property it could have been that one if
done right but hey what are you gonna do
uh next up this episode is brought to
you by nothing no sponsors I always do
this little Spiel it’s corny I’m sorry
if you don’t like it but thank you guys
for watching thank you guys for clicking
on the sponsors clicking on the videos
clicking the like button it means the
world to us it lets us do this every day
talk games with you so thanks we are
grateful straight up Xbox also this week
had uh a thing they had the developer
direct this was kind of almost like a
Nintendo Direct uh but an Xbox focused
one on their first party stuff
highlighting pretty long chunks of
gameplay and details directly from the
developers themselves which was very
cool I think this is a good way of
presenting games not much in terms of
new news like absolute bangers we got a
huge new look at redfall at least a lot
more about like moment-to-moment
gameplay and how that plays and stuff
like that and we now have a release date
which is May 2nd so that’s something to
look forward to also they showed off a
bunch of Minecraft Legends which I’m
surprisingly really into I also like
Minecraft dungeons and I didn’t think I
would like that so I’m willing to give
this a shot this has a release date now
of April 18th they also took time with
xenomax online to highlight a new Elder
Scrolls expansion for Elder Scrolls
Online that’s going to be coming out
later this year with more details and
stuff like that those updates do deliver
and I do like that that game is still
going because I jump in once in a while
and yeah it’s good stuff another new
look at Forza Motorsport uh tons of
graphical details and stuff guess what
the cars are beautiful big surprise
that’s like the racing game thing now
when they reveal it they always Flex on
the graphics I’m looking forward to
seeing what the rest of the deal is with
this one but uh the big thing was a
surprise drop announcement and release
of a game called Hi-Fi Rush this is
Tango Gameworks new game uh you know the
people behind like The Evil Within and
stuff they’ve been working on this and
they haven’t talked about it and they
literally said here it is it’s out today
it’s on PC and Game Pass I downloaded it
I only played like 20 minutes of it but
I just think we need more cartoony
Lively games uh and yeah I’m happy if
you’re interested in more of a deep dive
on that uh definitely let us know if you
have Game Pass you could just download
it but it goes back to what I said
earlier where like I do like the model
of either just announcing things and
then pretty soon after it comes out or
announcing things and you get it right
then and there instant gratification I
have no attention span speaking of no
attention span our little friend Gollum
yes smeagle himself uh still isn’t
coming out that’s the newest news we now
know uh that there’s a little bit of a
window this guy can’t get a break I mean
am I right I’m doing Lord of the Rings
jokes
deal with
the one God
I don’t like you continuing to refer to
him as our little friend him gobble we
don’t know him I mean I feel like at
this point I know him speak for yourself
we now know Gollum that our weird little
crawling guy Fred these guys
gollum’s gonna be sliming it up in
Middle Earth uh April uh or no okay the
updated release window now is going to
be between April and September 2023
because of the way Financial quarter the
things work it’s already been delayed
three times worth pointing out but I
love Lord of the Rings so hoping for the
best of this one and another small
little update blue point is uh working
on their next game still they’re hard at
work as you know we talked about it last
week uh a lot of Industries uh Tech uh
just random [ __ ] and gaming have been
hit by
layoffs and uh it’s terrible and one of
the heads of Blue Point said Hey to
people who got laid off game developers
and stuff we’re still hiring we’re
working on our next project and someone
asked when are you gonna show it and
they said they still need more time and
that’s how it should be that’s it not
much there but uh a rumor that hit the
streets that like some people are kind
of confirming is credible but it popped
up on resetera uh is a big Persona drop
so as you know Persona three and four
now are available to play I pretty much
everywhere on all platforms as of last
week but apparently there is a Persona 3
remake that is far in development as
well as Persona 6 and there’s a reveal
plan for this summer now again that is
just a rumor take that with a grain of
salt not confirmed at all but I mean
does the time feel right for a new
persona at this time at this point I
think a lot of people are finally
getting their hands on three and four
and even five for the first time and
they’re long ass games but still I think
now that they’re at like their cultural
height for them to hook line and sinker
announce a new one to look forward to
it’s a good move I’m hoping Atlas does
actually give us something so we just
have to wait and see on this one man oh
and also some things I wanted to link in
the description down below uh before you
buy for first spoken and for Dead Space
I’ve been really busy guess which one I
like not really forespoken dead space
remake really love what they did there
so check those out those will be linked
in the description down below as well as
a trailer for GoldenEye GoldenEye is now
as of right now available on Nintendo
switch and Xbox it’s just kind of like a
port of the old game uh there’s some
debate online about the quality of the
emulation and stuff like that uh so I’ll
link all that below if you find that
stuff interesting me personally I think
games like this just belong on CRTs keep
them there forever but for casual folks
who want to download it and hop on some
Split Screen Co-op and stuff you might
have a nice time this weekend but
speaking of this weekend that’s all we
got this week so I definitely want to
hear from you guys in the comments what
you think about everything going on from
Hogwarts Legacy previews to uh new
trailers we got to what the next Tomb
Raider could be to Naughty Dog
officially saying we’re moving on from
Uncharted the pain it’s like we knew it
but hearing it again hurts let’s talk
about any of this stuff down in the
comments and of course very important
there’s a pinned comment at the top of
this in that comment thread drop what
you’re playing this weekend for our
research and stuff so we can help decide
what to talk about in videos it legit

general things got a little crazy so of
course if you want to find me directly

YouTube Channel Jake baldino but thank
