Look, I like talking about video games so the length of this podcast got a little out of hand. As usual our annual GOTY categories is long, but somehow it's our longest one yet.
Next week's actual GOTY podcast will probably be comically long too, but I PROMISE that we will get back to making more manageable stuff in the new year.
This week the news is all about CD Projekt Red and Cyberpunk. Everything is a total shit show!
For games we've been playing I go off about Cyberpunk and then Matt talks about games he's been enjoying!
To finish Matt decides that he wants Yakuza: Like a Dragon spoiled for him, so I talk for WAY too long about the plot.

The game awards gave us a great deal of news to talk about, but we save that for the end of the podcast. First we continue to scrape the bottom of the barrel, and then talk about the hot games we've been playing.
The Game Awards had a lot to offer, but I think Sephiroth killing Mario was perhaps the highlight.

We are on the precipice of a new console generation and our Fast and Furious marathon is finally at an end. First we chat about the news as usual before talking about the games we played and dunking all over VR.
We end strong by talking about Hobbs and Shaw, the first Fast and Furious spinoff. Next week we'll finally return to all video games!

This week my audio isn't as hot as normal, because I was on vacation when we recorded. A decent amount of news cropped up, so we discuss that and then hit a few games we've been playing.
To finish things off we talk about Fate of the Furious, which just doesn't really do it for me.

We start the news off strong by talking about how it looks like Minecraft Steve is doing illicit activities in Smash, and then chat it up about hot new next gen upgrades.
I continued to play Ikenfell and admit one of my deepest gaming shames. Matt finished both South Park and Need for Speed Heat.
To finish we yell about how tight Fast and Furious 6 is.

Microsoft bought Zenimax and that's one of the wildest things that's ever happened in the video game industry. Microsoft is making big plays. We also talk about some random TGS stuff and an Animal Crossing update.
Matt played a bit of a few games, and I've been stuck on Spelunky.
To cap off the episode we talk at length about Tokyo Drift, which always makes me happy.
News - 3:51 to 1:02:57 What We Played - 1:02:58 to 1:11:21 Tokyo Drift - 1:11:22 to 1:48:49
In this episode we go over some things announced at gamescom and talk a bit about the DC games that were finally announced last weekend.
Matt played the Avengers Beta while I played the Tony Hawk Demo. He finally beat Ghosts of Tsushima, and I tried as hard as possible to finish Spiritfarer...
To end we pick from Frosty and come out with one of my favorite franchises of all time.

Halo Infinite was delayed, Ono is leaving Capcom, the Xbox One S is real, and Epic is suing Apple and Google. These are just a few of the exciting news topics you can expect on this week's podcast.
I beat Fast and Furious Crossroads and I know that's the real reason you're all here. We talk about why it was so very disappointing before moving on to Ooblets, Fall Guys, and Pokemon
The podcast finishes weakly, because we have to talk about Skyward Sword at the end...

This week I got very excited about video games. I was reminded Crossroads is coming out, and the GOTY of 2020 got a release date! Everything is coming together!
I didn't play anything and Matt played a few games he's been chipping away at, so we kind of just shoot the shit until we eventually talk about our hopes for Yakuza 7.
News - 7:10 to 47:53 What We Played - 47:54 to 56:17 Like a Dragon Predictions - 56:18 to 1:23:48

For this episode Matt and I are joined by special guest Gary. You may remember him from a Project Top 10 I did where his favorite game happened to be The Last of Us. He was very excited to talk about TLOU2, but first we had to get through the news and the surprising amount of games we've been playing. Then we get into a very lengthy spoiler discussion for TLOU2.

Sadly this week contains numerous allegations of sexual assault and predatory behavior in the video game industry. When talking about it we reference several Tweet threads. Which I will link below.

It's awful stuff, but at least it's coming to light. Some good stuff happened too like a new Crash Bandicoot, Min-Min in Smash and Pokemon Unite...
The only game we both played is The Last of us 2, which we talk about a lot and then pick a topic from Frosty which ends up being the original The Last of Us. So buckle up for a lot of talking about The Last of Us.

Sony came out swinging with tons of got PS5 gameplay, so we begin by talking about that. Matt was the only one who played anything this week, which we also talk about before determining our collective top ten games of the generation.
I'll be honest, this went a lot easier than I thought it would..until the very end.

It's been an awful week in the U.S. as the murder of George Floyd by a police officer has sparked protests and incited even more police violence. The system is broken, and has been forever. Now is the time for change, and if you have a problem with the views Matt and I express during the first 7-10 minutes of this podcast we won't miss having you around.
The news is lighter than it was going to be originally this week as most gaming companies made the right decision to take a step back and let the world have a discourse about its issues.
Matt and I played one game each, which we briefly chat about before moving into the final 6 publishers we're going to discuss. The top 10 publishers of the generation list is completed in this episode.
Next time though, we're doing a top 10 games of the generation podcast. Hopefully that goes well.

Most of the news this week is related to events being announced over the next few weeks. E3 may have been cancelled, but it looks like the industry is still going to come at us hard with announcements over the next month or so.
After chatting it up about the games we've been playing we discuss the final major publisher on our list, which is Xbox Game Studios.

People will often tell me that Final Fantasy 7 is their favorite JRPG of all time, or sometimes even their favorite game of all time. While I can see that as a rational decision I often find myself scoffing at that idea internally. Recently I’ve tried to get myself out of this mindset because it both makes me seem like a giant tool and is a totally reasonable thing for someone to say. Final Fantasy 7 was the first fully polygonal JRPG, and was the first major JRPG on the Playstation One. When it released in 1997 the visuals and scale of the game were unparalleled. It also hit a lot of people in my age range at the exact right time to become one of their favorite pieces of media. I get it, there’s a lot to love, but for me I have a lot of issues with it.
I can’t really gripe about my issues with Final Fantasy 7's story too much, because I don’t want to get into too many spoilers now that the game is being shown to a whole new generation of people. The main thing is that I never personally connected with most of the characters and to me that’s most of the JRPG experience. Cloud is an emotionless twat most of the time (I realize this is part of the plot, but it doesn’t make me like it) and some later game revelations almost destroy him entirely for me. It’s not necessarily bad writing or anything, it just doesn’t gel with me personally and that’s fine.
From a more mechanical standpoint most of the characters in the original FF7 feel the same in battle. While the material system gives the player the choice to spec out characters however they want with magic it makes everyone feel replaceable. Aside from base character stats and limit breaks the characters can all essentially fill any role. On one hand that’s cool, but on the other it removes their personality. This complaint is actually addressed brilliantly in the remake, while Cloud continues to be an emotionless twat.
My complaints about FF7 are not why I’m here today though. Due to the pandemic I’ve been largely alone at work recently and have been using the FF7 and FF7R soundtracks to fill the silent void left behind by my missing co-workers. So I guess this can technically be considered a Memorable Melodies entry as well, but I wanted to talk about the opening moments of the game.
Unlike most people I didn’t play FF7 for the first time on the PS1. My dad worked in a computer store and was often able to bring home games that weren’t selling well for me to play. One weekend he brought me the PC version of FF7 and I was absolutely thrilled. I have a very vivid memory of getting to the church with Aeirth when my best friend at the time called and asked if I wanted to sleep over. I lied and told him my mom said I couldn’t go anywhere for the weekend because I just wanted to keep playing. That is also my earliest memory of lying to get out of a social gathering. Back then I quite enjoyed myself with the game, but time turned my opinions more harsh.
Despite my general distaste for the game now the opening of FF7 has always stuck in my mind as being very special, and the way it appears in the remake is near perfection. Every time I see either version of the opening paired with Nobuo Uematsu’s fantastic score I get chills and am immediately excited. Part of the excitement comes from the fact that no Final Fantasy had taken place in a large semi-modern city before. Every previous game was largely high fantasy with some strange high-tech/magical stuff thrown in for good measure, but here comes a new entry with a sprawling steam-punk aesthetic.
It’s burned into my memory. Aerith picking up flowers. She moves out into the bustling street. The camera zooms out to reveal the whole city. The title card appears. The camera moves back down through Midgar to a train. Cloud jumping off the train to make his debut. It’s all so well done.
Here is a video of the opening as it originally was for reference. What I’m referring to is only the first 2:22 of the video.
When people say that they love Final Fantasy 7 this is the scene I imagine plays out in their head as they say it. For a lot of people it was life altering. It was unlike anything that had come before, so when fans pushed for a remake I completely understood where they were coming from. In a turn of events that I still can’t fully comprehend Square listened to the pleas of passionate fans and now we have the first part of the Final Fantasy 7 remake. Does it have its issues? Yeah, totally. However, I still think it’s an excellent game that modernizes this classic quite well. I especially love the opening sequence! Take a look at this!
The remake adds a few minutes giving context to the different areas of Midgar and ends up being a bit more ominous to show how Shinra is effecting the planet, but everything else remains largely the same. This is like what 8-10 year old Manny fondly remembered the intro looking like instead of the comically polygonal models of the original game. Our minds glorify things we’re nostalgic about, but now we don’t have to do that anymore. The remake takes care of it perfectly. It still gives me chills, and still gets my psyched up. While Cloud continues to be an emotionless goon he still looks cool as hell when he jumps down off the train gripping his ridiculously oversized sword.
Openings are meant to get you invested immediately and FF7’s does just that. I love it so much.
As Matt predicted last week there was too much news and now we're getting absolutely nothing. We scrape the bottom of the news barrel before Matt talks a bit about what he's been playing.
For the grand finale we talk about WB Games and CD Projekt Red while going on several tangents about the films Cars and Spiderman 2.

The Summer Game Fest has begun and tons of weird random announcements have been coming out daily. There's a remaster of Tony Hawk 1&2, a new Unreal Engine, and a Paper Mario game!

As for games Matt has been trying out some indie titles while I've been on the opposite end of the spectrum playing a ridiculously high budget AAA title.

I initially thought this week was going to be much shorter, but thanks to Nintendo's wealth of games to talk about it ended up being just as long as every other one...
We start our first weekly podcast by discussing the news of the world such as Cooking Mama being de-listed and the newest Inside Xbox showing.
I didn't play anything new, and Matt had a few quick things to say about what he has been playing. I'm not going to do timestamps for specific games this week because of that!
As usual we end with a special discussion of Nintendo, which just so happens to be one of my favorite publishers of all time!

Coronavirus is a very serious thing, and in an attempt to stay safe Matt and I have taken to social distancing. This sounds like a joke, but I am very serious about it. We don't want to take any unnecessary risks and get sick. Due to that fact we are recording the podcast over Discord for the foreseeable future. If there are any audio issues I apologize. We will attempt to work them out over the coming weeks.
There has been a lot of news in general the past few weeks and the world of video games is no different. We chat about that and what we played before transitioning into ranking 5 prominent indie publishers in our ranking of publishers.
