Hellover, buddy, and welcome to another episode of the Elder Trolls Gaming podcast. If you are new in joining us, we are two brothers should get together and talk about gaming. We may also talk tech, TV, movies, and other nerdy geeky stuff too. But first, I'm nasty Nate and I'm taking John. I'm gonna use I'm gonna get a little closer to my microphone today. Yeah, I'm pretty close. I'm about three inches. Do you know how I know. That that's what she said. Yeah, I know that's what she told me about you. I stood up and I just put my penis to my microphone. Now it's now it smells funny. Uh man, what was I gonna say? What we're going to talk about today? Oh? Well, yeah, we're going to talk about which are three rumors that are saying an official expansion is coming out. I have heard this time or this year sometime. So we'll go through what we know about the what we've announced. Yeah, well we can find the unannounced official Witcher three expansion. But first, it has been so cold last week my window cracked right across corner to corner. Well, yeah, that's probably very old window. Maybe the I don't understand the are gone within it failed or whatever. Oh yeah, it's definitely the ur God is definitely gone. But like, I don't understand how the window would crack. Dad says it's because it just finally stressed out after the house had been moving from so long. Also that yeah, with the cold. Yeah, and it was just tracking. Yeah, it was just about It was just about time that it cracked. But I was like, I don't know, just that one, that one moment where everything just aligned where the house isn't moving anymore, but the window is still moving based on where the house has moved, you know what I mean? So maybe just stress cracked. Yeah, because if the corners are squeezing it in something. Yeah, shifted a bit and the glass is under stress, right. And it's shrinking because of the cold, and then. Heating up because of the heat on the inside. Yeah, did I say shrinking? Heat? Expand shrinkage? No heat, It shrinks like a frightened turtle. I don't know how you guys walk around with those things. You know. It also was cool, very cold. Speaking of cold, you know what was cool? I found an rt X forty sixty t I for undred and sixty dollars. I was like, two hundred dollars off. I almost bought it. No, buy it, No, because I was like I was gonna go today, for what purpose would you buy it? Exactly? So I was like, Okay, if I do buy it, what am I gonna do with it? So then I started like building a little PC with it. No, it's impossible, Like the RAM prices are so stupid, Like it's absolutely ridiculous. How is anybody or who in the right mind would build a PC right now? No, one, sixteen gigabytes of RAM is three hundred dollars, Like that's crazy. So it's like what a year ago, I got forty eight gigs a DDR five six thousand, yel thirty one hundred and sixty nine dollars, Yeah, a year ago. Yeah. And I so it's like, man, I could make a steam it would be like six hundred dollars. I could make a steam machine with that forty sixty TI you know, if RAM wasn't so fucked. Oh it's so sick, I would have had a forty sixty on my TV. Man just buy it. Yeah, That's what I'm thinking for when RAM comes down, I mean, or just find or just find like a like a used pre built somewhere. Once the Chinese RAM starts flooding the market, did you gamers nextus died a video the documentary kind of video about Chinese Ram kind of sneaking in and it's something about like five percent right now market share or something. But there's three companies I think, okay, three RAM companies that could we could see kind of game happularity because of this. This is what happens to see that, and then China's gonna sneak in because they're cheap and we're just gonna get what we need from China. No one wanted that, but now that's how it's gonna have to be. That's just the way she goes. That's capitalism, greed, capital greed capitalism. Whoever has the product the reasonable price that is good, people are gonna buy it. And if it's not good, I mean if not good, if it turns out that it's not good, people. Won't buy it. And then that's it. That's how it goes. I'll have a Chinese PC spying on me, it doesn't matter. They're always spy anyway. Yeah, Oh, they like to spy. That's how we lost Nortel turned into Nortel. We had Nortel here in Ottawa. Yeah. Yeah, the Chinese bugged the buildings up so bad they stole everything from them and they're now Huawei, and Nortel went out of business. Wow really yeah, because we're we tore it all down, took all the bucking bugs out and everything. Like actual bugs. Yeah, like yeah, spying bugs and what they told. They stole everything from Nortel and they started Huawei. That's wow. You can fact check me on that, but I believe it's true. I believe that is true. Wow, we could have we could have Nortel, Nortel smartphones. Who could have had built in Canada. Yeah that was a long time ago. Yeah, what else is new? We moved Ayla to one one nap Daze. So she was eating her lunch. Well, I was trying to feed her lunch and I gave her like a little it's those little bell cheeses, little wheels of cheese. She's like yeah, baby bells part of her lunch. And she's like and like her eyes are like closed. I'm like hey, like hey, yeah, yeah, okay, we gotta get you to bed and then hopefully the laps are longer, so then she stays up longer later, but then she's going to bed earlier these days, so I'm getting a little bit more time. Game time, game time fast. The past couple of days, album has been working, Daddy's been. Playing you know, nice, nice, nice, Well, speaking of game time, let's do it. Oh there we go, sweet, okay, cool transition. We're in game time now. Game time. What have we been playing? Well, we tried Wildgate? Oh yeah, okay, so Wildgate was free on Epic Game Store or I don't know, a month ago maybe, and we just got her onto playing it. Like maybe me and the Siege from now. Now. This isn't a free to play games, so people bought this game whoever, well, or they it for free on Epic Games. It was one of those fifty dollars It was one of those fifty dollars ones. Yeah. So you checked the Steam the Steam charts on who how many players were playing? And there were how many at the time that we were playing, was like twenty eight players. Twenty eight players because we couldn't find a game right and we were playing at night. We were playing Thursday night or something or Wednesday night. Yeah, trying to find a game and it just would not go And no one is obviously playing. This fucking game. It is dead dead dead. Yeah. So I mean we had to play like the AI game, the AI against the AI. I mean, it's it's a little it's different. I don't I don't know. I mean it's okay, but I would have liked to be able to play against real people to see how it actually is, because like, it's got a lot of stuff in it, a lot of element. Yes, And that's where my biggest peeve is there's too much and like that. Yeah, I think there's too much that you have to do in one of these matches. You have to go to the wild gate, you have to go get the artifact. You gotta fight for the artifacts. You got to do puzzles to get to the artifact. You gotta protect your ship. You got to go to the other persons ship and their ship three players and you only have three or four four players I think like Max and like and the one. Guy has to basically probably do each task, Like one guy is defending the ship and running around and putting out fires and shooting the guns, and one guy is maybe going to try to sabotage the other ship, and then one guy is going to go try to loot the stuff from like the various kind of stations or whatever, and then maybe another guy pilots the ship or another guy helps sabotage like maybe a ro a rover, but it doesn't it's not fast to get around. Yes, exactly, it's not fast that there's not. Really it wouldn't really be good to have one guy rovering because it would just he'd be just floating through space. It was very slow and the ship was slow. I don't know if the ships get upgrade or not, but like the ship is so slow. It's like, go get the artifact. It's seven hundred meters away. It's like I'm like wah. I'm like yeah, well, I'm like there's so much stuff to juggle. And I was like they just like took away half the ship, you know what I mean. I think it was over zealous in their idea that this was like a PvP looter space ship extractor. Like, yeah, it was too long because they're supposed to go loot stuff and upgrade your ship with it. Yeah, by the time you go get it and like bring it back to your ship and install it like there's like it's just not viable. No. Yeah, yeah, I think it was too too a bit too much off the sandwich, I think, yeah, but there's nobody playing that game. No, see if they would have just kept it like that's hard to say, like the artifact, let's minus the artifact and let's minus the wildgate. Okay, and you just got to EVP shooter on two ships. You board the ship. No, no, no, I'd like the ship like getting out part. But I think that's probably why they made the ship so slow, because getting out is hard and the other guys can kind of interrupt you or sabotage or whatever like overheat your core or whatever, so you can't escape. Or you can't like you can't you don't want to get off your ship. Like it's it was a lot, It was a lot. It was a lot. Yeah. It was The shooting felt okay though, like the shooting the bots like it felt like Overwatch. Oh like yeah, okay, the headshots. Yeah, and it just felt. Like a Sea of Thieves kind of kind of where you jump on the other person ship you're sabotaging and blowing the ship up from inside. Did you do that because I went for the artifact. Did you go to the other Yeah, I went ship. I blew up the other ship. Yeah, so I went in there. Yeah, I killed everybody, overloaded their reactor, and then I like jumped off. See that's pretty cool though, that's that's fun, Like that would be fun. Like, I don't know it has I think it was faster. I think if it was a lot faster. Yes, it's definitely too slow. There's a pacing issue for sure. Yeah, it's definitely too slow. Now we don't know that later on you get jetpacks or something that make you faster. I don't know. But like the beginning, like the one battle we were in, it was so slow. Yeah, it was really slow. Yeah, shame, shame, shame. I played it. I played in the I played in the open beta when it really st the open beta, and I had the same sort of feeling. I was like, this is very very slow. M I don't like that. I don't like slow games. Yeah, I don't like it. So I promptly uninstalled that game. Have you played High Guard? Did you try High Guard out? No? No, no, not yet. Really I tried it. I played it for like three hours. Oh okay, tell me about it's it's pretty good. Actually, I mean it feels really good. It feels better on controller than it did on mouse and keyboard. It might be a controller game. I don't know if they overtuned the amos a little bit. But it's kind of like a mix between a bunch of different games. It's a mix. It's a three v three arena shooter, so two teams three v three kind of like remember Apex is arena mode, think about that. So you have yeah, yeah, map three v three. The map is much bigger than the Apex ones would have been though. I read that. I read that was a big issue with a lot of people, was too large. Yeah, the map is huge. So the pacing early at the pacing is a little slow early on because it kind of have to at the beginning, you have to go out and kind of gather some things. You have to gather these little crystals you can mine them and they're your your currency that you can buy things at the shop, kind of like in League of Legends where you have a little shop upgrades. So there's that aspect of it. There's a three v three shooter aspect of it. It's a hero shooter. So each hero has different abilities. It also has a you both have a base and you have to defend the shore up your defenses, so it's kind of also like a tower kind of defense game. And then along with that it is a bomb planting and diffusing game search and destroy, call of duty or counterstrike, so you have to break into the other team's base and plant the bomb and then defend it so it goes off and the other team has This is all in one mode. Yeah, that's just the main mode. But it is pretty good. Like the abilities are pretty cool. The shooting, the gunplay feels good. The movement feels pretty good. It feels similar to Apex slide slide jumping. There's no well bouncing, but the kind of movement is good. The sliding feels good. Yeah, I mean it's not bad. I think the early hate, maybe a lot of people are saying, was because they because they announced it at the Game Awards, like like it was going to be some big thing and it's not like a huge triple A thing like it was the second last, the second last, the last trailer. I think it's getting a little more flat for that. But the I think the Steam reviews are evening out, they're getting better, but like it's okay, it's certainly not. Bad. It's better than the wild Gate, I guess, but I would play it, like if people want to play it, I would play. It's like teams are three three three and you have a mount, so you get up a mount so you can run around. You run around on the. Map to find your little chest, so you have to find crates with like in the first minute of the round, they let you free roam to gather stuff, so you can find your currency or your find crates to open. You find loot in them, you find armor, you find different guns, whatever. Then you go buy your upgrades and then the round starts and then you want to go find the this shield breaker it's called so it spawns somewhere on the map and you have to go contest for it, and whoever gets it can go smash into the other team's base, okay and open the shield and that's when you go in to plant the bomb. So like that's cool. It's pretty sweet because you have to. It's kind of like you you know they're coming in. They're coming in from one spot, so you have to kind of defend it. The shield's open. And they come in and then then like overtime, you can't respawd similar to Search and Destroy. Yeah, I like it. The characters, well, the one thing I would say the character that I played is this girl who has like gives your teammates can give her. You give them a little extra shield so they have a little bit extra kind of health to be a little tankier. And her ultimate is creating a spawn point, which is huge because when you respawn, you spawn all the way like back, but it took forever for the alt to charge, Like I had games where I didn't even get it, So like they need to retoo in that for sure, because like I maybe used it once or twice the whole time I was playing. Then the other there's another character with like a bird and you can send out a bird and it flies around in scans, which was cool. And then there's her ultimate I think is you go into the bird's eyes and you can shoot smoke smoke screens to cover where you're like grades just shoots like a tornado that puffs up a big thing of smoke. Okay, so it's a big screen smoke treen. You can shoot three of them. I think I think that's her ultimate with scans with the bird. Another guy is like jumps around and smashes walls, so like he can break the structural environments. Yeah, the walls you can break in the in the bass part. Does it look okay? The graphics, yeah, Randon looked pretty good to me, ran good. A lot of the A lot of the reviews said it was piss poor. Really, I don't know. I have a good video card, so I don't know. It ran fine, ran fine for me, But I don't know. If you want to play it, we should play. It's it's worth it's worth trying. I would say, let's see download it worth trying. Free to play. I didn't notice any aggressive. I didn't notice any excessive like micro transactions in my face or anything like that. It seemed okay. I don't know. I would love if there was wall jumping. Why can't games just add wall bouncing? Like why? Why? Why? Because it's awesome? Yeah, but I don't know. It just gives it just gives people more an advantage. It's a skill advantage, you know, Yeah, skills that's like a physical like finger skill controller thing. That's why I like Apex. Okay, high skill selling. You know what else, We tried outward to play test. We got invited to the outward to play test. This is an open world survival RPG where they just don't hold your hand at all. They throw you into this place. They give you a little story to start, then you're out into the wilderness and it's and it's much like the first game. This is an alpha. It's this is alpha like I supposed to I thought I was supposed to release this year. So like they got a lot of work to do based on that play test. Yeah. Wow. So we're running around and you get stuck on everything. You get stuck on edge, like say, there's little ledges, little rock ledges, rocks. There's like a bridge, and I'm like, oh, I just want to jump down onto the path under the bridge. You can't jump off the bridge. You can't like run off the bridge. You can't run off edge off the bridge, you can't run off jumping. Yeah, no jumping, there's no climbing. So like, man, yeah, we were running around and I just fell into this crevasse and this crack in the earth, in the earth, and I fell down onto this rock and I was stuck there because I can't do anything, and I couldn't get down to I'm like, and I kind of tried to make my way down the rock face like hopping ledge to ledge, which I did. Then you can't get up like where we couldn't. I couldn't get up to you because you were kind of like one small level above, yeah, like a little rock above you, and you could climb or vault up. So dumb. Yeah, I made a post on the steam steam page like you need to add mantling or climbing or jumping or something like. This is horrible, But I mean the idea of the game was funny. The first game was hilarious when we played it. We played it for a few hours, I think. But that was funny because you're you're just some normal loser nobody like this town, chicken ship in this town that. You have to like, oh, this is the first one, by the way, Yeah, the first one. You have to like buy back or pay off your debts, your debts, your family's debts. So you have to go an adventure to get these debts paid off. But you're just usually a normal dude in this world of magic fighting troglodytes. Yeah, that was funny, dude, Yeah, funny, but like it doesn't look any much better than the first one, you know what I mean. I'd rather just play the first one. Yeah, yeah, so far. Yeah, I would say yes. Which we might, but like we played with the mod. Yeah, it's another thing. You can only have two it's only a two player online co op. Like they you know how much shit they got on the first one for only having two player and then they do it again? What put four player co op? You know a lot of missed opportunities here, like, oh, we're stressing the multiplayer. I was like, okay, well, how many people can play two? Yeah? So then someone had made a co op mod to add x as many players as you want. It's just the if you get further than or if you get more than four players in an instance, it starts getting real wonky. So we played with four players and I could, and it started getting wonky, like levels wouldn't load or caves wouldn't load. We would be de syncing like constantly. I don't remember that. It was me, me, p Q, and Reno. We were trying to do one dungeon and like I would enter the dungeon, they could I couldn't find them, they could see my loot. Like it was very strange, like just put a four player co op online, just do it, just freaking do it. Anyway, I promptly uninstalled that I won't be playing that one again. Yeah. I was literally looking forward to that too, Like I wish they were just did what they did with one and just give us more. Yeah. I played Divinity Original sin Oh. I was looking for a single player game. Yeah too, Sorry the second one. I just was looking for something to play. But I started playing this, I bought it. I think it was like, I don't remember how much it was. I got twelve hours in it right now. It's it's very similar to Balder'sgate, like the play, the way it plays, the combat basically the same. It's really similar. The only thing different is in balders Gate is more of a D and D with the rolling of dice the bonus. And the world roles and stuff like that. And the world is dand Okay, yeah, so if the world is in D and D whatever, but the. Rolling is really fun. In Bouldersgate. It added a little more so after I started playing Divinity, me and Pam started a bolder skate co op bulders Skate three co op and like immediately I'm like, oh, yeah, okay, this is so much better, so much better than Divinity Original, Like it's still good like this. The you can still kind of do the same stuff, attack anything you want, like kind of the same mechanics. But yeah, the the voice acting and kind of obviously the graphics are a little dated, it's still pretty good. I'll probably I'll keep playing it. I played a bit last night too. It's hard though, Yes, it's nice. I remember it being very hard. I was like, I think that's probably why it's. Not level up, Like I'm at a point now where these guys don't have to go and fight I think are like two levels higher. They like where the hell am I going to level up? Like how am I going to level up? There's not really much around to fight? Or like what the fuck is this? Doesn't hold your hand on quests really. It'll put a little marker on the map, but it doesn't really tell you much, Like you can't even mouse over on the marker and see what the hell it is, you know what I mean? Like, like what quest is this? I don't know? Yeah, it's Balldersgate definitely way better. I can't wait for the new one though, that's gonna be sick. Yeah, well, if they take ballers Gate three, yeah, and they're not because because they have to work inside the framework of D and D for bulders Gates. So like the rules, I think the rule I would love for them to add the rolling and stuff like. That too, though I'm sure they will. They're going to take bulders Gate three and they're going to use that experience and everything they learned there and give it a go and their own, because their original Sin two is their own. It's like an original everything story worlds. I think. Yeah, it's tough, it's tough, the characters are okay to not not as cool as Balder's Gate three either, but but it does give you that option for like the options for doing different things. Like I had one where I could either choose to save this ice dragon guy by giving him some fancy wand that I found so we could free himself. Or I could use the fancy wand to kill these other things that are kind of keeping me on this island. So I chose to give it to the dragon and free the dragon, so I no longer have the wand to fix the other thing, but it kind of opened up a different path that like something else happened. So it was pretty cool. But yeah, it's a it's all right. All right. I tried the Neo three demo. Oh yes, three, Yes, I drafted it in my Fantasy League. Very very cool. I like it a lot. I played it on PS five though, and it looked very dated obviously it so I stopped because I don't want to buy it on PS fives because the demo progress carries over to the released content. So if you play however far into the demo, then you get to continue. And I didn't want her. It's a ten hour demo, like seven to ten hour demo. They said, wow, yeah, that's insane. I got about two. I played huge. I played about two two hours or so, maybe even three, like, I played pretty far and I stopped. It was like, okay, I don't want to keep playing on PS five because I'm not going to buy it on PS five, so I stopped. But it is definitely something I would pick up. It felt really good, like a very It was a very solid, souls like action RPG. Very cool. The aesthetic Samurai Samurai asthetic. You know, you can switch between Samurai and Ninja like on the fly, so you get access to different weapons for different enemies. So if you fight an enemy and you're like, oh no, I think I'd be better off like using the Shanobi kind of skills, so then you can flip flop in and out during the fight. Really cool. Story seems pretty cool. I don't know if I have to play the other two. I don't think so, because I'm pretty sure I've picked up the story for this one. This has been pretty good, very cool, very cool, very cool, very cool. I'm hoping it does very well because I have it on my Fantasy League. Well so far, the reviews on the demo are reviews on the demo. Yeah, if we go to a Neo three demo, I don't know. I thought there was. No user reviews. I thought there was. I thought I saw something. I guess not. Anyway, I drafted it, but an update on the Fantasy League I wanted. After much deliberation, I was like, all right, I'm going to counterpick Half Life three. I'm going to counterpick it, and it's gonna win me the year. And what happens that rat bastard Calvin from gaming Duo bid the same amount as me, and he won it because he did it first. Somehow, even though I did it on freaking Monday. He must have done it on. He must have woke up right when the lion the doors opened for it. I didn't think anyone else would do it. I should have put more. I should have. I should have valued it more. Yeah, he definitely should have. I only put ten dollars, while we both put ten dollars. It was a tie. It was a tie, and I'm afraid that. I'm afraid that's gonna win him the year. That's just a. Free game, because it ain't coming out. It ain't coming out. It's just not I'm telling you right now, it's not. I'm also playing something else. Holy geez, this is the one that's taken up most of my time. Three Blood, Blood and Wine Expansion. Holy moly, everyone wasn't kidding. This expansion is so amazing. It's so excellent. So you're just doing like the expansion quest, like the main quest of the expansion, and then. Well, in Witcher three fashion, right, they'll let you go on the the main quest for a couple of quests, and then they're gonna the next quest is like five fucking levels higher than you, and you're like, then you do a few other quests. Really, yeah, they do it all the time. That that bothered. You can't just Golden path which are three? So like, I'll do a bunch of the main story quests and it's like, okay, meet me here, and then I look at my quest log it's like five levels hired and in which are three? Like whenever something's five six levels hired, you like, it's hard. Yeah, So then I just went around. I did some side quests which were also so good. There's side quests of this one are so freaking good. I had to save this lady's vineyard from monsters. Go around. I was hoping to banger but I didn't. But yeah, it's so good. The story is good, the characters are so good. Man. Which are three? So sick? So sick? It's getting me pumped for which'? Four like really pumped for Wich you're? Four like really? Pumped when the hell is that? COMING i don't know winch or? Four but they said which are? Four there's gonna be three not like, sequels but sequels what or, like there's gonna be three major expansions or something like one year after the other boom boom, boom so which of? Four and then a year later there's gonna be a big, expansion then another big expansion and then like they're gonna have a big big thing for which. Four but playing which is three or, now it's. Amazing it's absolutely. Amazing and this game is how? Old ten years? OLD i THINK i just had a ten tenth year anniversary twenty. Fifteen, yeah and the graphics are, Unbelievable, like, yeah there's like next they did an next gen update for THE ps five and stuff like, that and there's also mods on ON pc Which i've. Installed but this game looks better than half The TRIPLE a games that are coming out. Now it's, Insane like it looks way better Than neo three ON ps. Five, yeah ON p five you're playing on a jacked UP pc, though, yes playing with it racing rad, tracing enhanced graphics all, this so that's that's. Understandable but, yeah very very.

Sorry Could valve be on the verge of redefining gaming hardware again with subtle but telling updates to The Steam store back. End the speculation is, mounting but the longest way to return to The Steam machine deck ready breaks. Down how these changes hinted a major hardware, launch potentially arriving as early as twenty twenty. Six well don't we know? That, yes Alongside, march alongside The steam frame and The Steam. Controller what was The steam frame? Again? Oh THE vr goggles. So you specifically with The Steam. Machine that's their NEW vr, headset just their new. Okay valve is preparing for a Significant harbor launch in early twenty twenty, six including The Steam, Machine steam, frame And Steam. Controlling The Steam machine aims to COMBINE pc gaming with console like, accessibilities priced competitively between six hundred and six hundred. And FIFTY Us. Steam, Sorry, porno you're Watching best the wrong. Button i'm trying to delete these random sounds on the soundboard AND i accidentally clicked on. It oh, Man, uh how did they so they found how did they find the six hundred bucks? Here? YEAH i don't, Know like that could be just a fucking complete shot in The, derek, like who, knows, No. But they said they said they found A url and, okay, okay a list price website on The valve. Website the store data Minors. Valves despite these, Challenges valves doesn't say where they got it, here just says you are all Update Steam machine. Store you're all, updates hint at six hundred to six hundred and fifty price. Point if that's the, case that is. Fantastic good. Luck it'd be like nine hundred Bucks. Canadian, yeah good luck trying to get one six. Hundred, yeah it's going to be just like when The Steam deck came, out no one could get one eight hundred to eight hundred and fifty Dollars Canadian. Like that's sick for a GAMING. Pc, yeah that's, uh there's no. WAY i don't believe. IT i just don't believe. It that's too. Cheap that'd be. Crazy and you know, what, DEFINITELY i don't believe That Half life three is coming out with. It tell you, what because. They they're going to have an announcement with The Steam, Machine they're going to do something With halflight. THREE i have heard rumors that they are going to hard a big announcement with The Steam. Machine but it's not going to be half like. Three, dude it's. Not it's JUST i don't. Know did you hear this? One High guard removes text From steam linking it to the creators Of titanfall And Apex Legends, monday as documented By steam to be this was tweaked to remove all mention of Titan, ball Titan, fall And it's spin. Off now the store page simply Says High guard is A pvop raid shooter where players will, ride, fight and raid as wardens are king gunslingers set set to fight for control of mythic mythical. Continent why would they do? THAT i don't, understand because maybe they aren't part of the see how see how here it had it at right at the. Beginning maybe they just want to, know they want to be known for their own. Thing, yeah, maybe like that's a good that's pedigree, though like you would probably want. That. No our final word premiere comes to sixty one members to built The Apex. Legends four years, ago the principal founded a new independent studio with hopes of pushing a shooter zone For. Forward, okay sixty one members of the team that Built Apex. Legends that's quite a bit of. People why wouldn't they put that in? There maybe maybe they just didn't want people to keep tying it to, well this would be The Apex sledgenons is. Better why didn't you just make Titan fall? Three you, know, yeah Titan ball. THREE i don't. THINK i think we might get a Titan fall three, eventually, eventually BUT i think they're working on This apex two point, zero Which i've heard some rumors that they're going to do a big overhaul of. IT i think that's what people are. SAYING i don't know though it's been out for seven, years so maybe ah, MAN i just it's just so, good so, good it's. GREAT i ALMOST i was playing a lot ON ps five recently BECAUSE i got a new controller. Joystick oh then you can slot in. Modularly, yeah for THE Bfg victrix. WHATEVER i almost bought that controller a long time. Ago it's kind of. EXPENSIVE i got it on sale, Though but, like you can take out the little stick modules that with the, Buttons so the left stick module has dpad like attached to it and the right one has the buttons attached to. It so you you unscrew it and it thumbs, out it just comes. Out but WHAT i did WAS i bought a joystick module and a little circuit board at the buttons that you can put inside the module and then slot it back. In SO i upgraded the thumbstick on the right to a haul sensing thumbstick with an extra. Tension and this is this is from, them like an official third. Party you can also get one with clicky buttons and hall. SENSOR i think there's one with LIKE. TMR i just wanted the one with the most stick. TENSION i just want higher stick tension BECAUSE i hate the one that came with. It it's so, light it's like. Air the wind would fucking move. IT i don't like, That like An Xbox, control it's just so. Flimsy. YEAH i was holding off because they, said oh they're, official they were going to release Official Hall effect. Modules, yeah, YEAH i think they. Do but they're overpriced or something. Like they're way too. Expensive you can just get these other ones and it's super easy to. Do you just unscrat. Box, yeah but you pop the box. Out it's just what you're supposed to do to replace the. Box but these, ones you pop the box, out unscrew the, box open it, up and put the thing in and then put the box. Back, oh because you need that third party chip or. Something, yeah it's like a circuit board with the with the joystick on. It you take it completely apart and put a new joystick in. It it's very. Easy anything. Else, oh, yes THIS i. Found it came up on my feed today And i'm, LIKE i feel. INDICATED i feel. VINDICATED i saw it On. Reddit it was a post that somebody, made but it's about eight. KTVs. Okay, surprisingly THE tv industry finally concedes that the future may not be eight k little, shit no, Shit SO i guess they were going. THROUGH i guess at cs like not a lot of EIGHT k stuff at CS. Ai. Shit but the future IS AI tv g. Stop selling eight k in like twenty twenty two or something or no eight. K, yeah released its last EIGHT ktv in twenty twenty. One, dude that's like they're not doing eight k. Anymore tcl same. Thing they haven't had an EIGHT ktv in five? Years? Okay oh hold. On so IF i buy an EIGHT ktv AND i put MY ps five on it and THE ps five is looking all shitty AT ap and then THE tv upscales it to EIGHT, K. I, mean, yeah there's gonna be some kind of. Upscaling but, LIKE i think it's finally kind of decide that this is just not, happening and LIKE i could have told you this fucking five years, ago WHICH i, did or, however roll the, clip we'll find the. Clip but like it's just completely. Pointless it's absolutely. Pointless but another thing that was driving that's driving this is the energy laws In europe because the amount of energy THAT tv needs to pump the brightness at that resolution is really, high and they limited, it SO i think it's just gonna die LIKE ak is. Done there's, no there's not gonna be an EIGHT k EIGHT k, Gaming like it's, bullshit it's all. Bullshit you don't need A K it was never really. Viable the only EIGHT k gaming maybe if. They can't even DO. Tendp, yeah, Exactly look how the games run, it fucking. YEAH i went like this TWO, k those like games were starting to hit like TWO, k FOUR, k you, know and then it's like now we're going back in. Time everything needs, Upscaling everything is getting rendered at TEN, Adp like you don't even need. IS i don't even need a FOUR K tv. Anymore pipe. Dream the only and the only way it would, be you, know there would be any point to be having A k is if you would sit like fucking three feet away from a massive, Screen like, yeah, okay you're not gonna see like the. Pixels but like if you're sitting ten feet away from A, tv like an EIGHT K, tv you would have to have like a fucking two hundred inch screen at man. Size you, know it's just. Stupid THEN i popped in THE uhd For. Planets too to watch With, ala and it blows my, Mind like and that's like four K hd or like the cream of the, crop you, know and like when the snakes are moving to the little pebbles in the sand and it's like zoomed in macro into The. Oh my, god and you're you're sitting like eight nine feet. Away, yeah of a sixty five inch was freaking. Insane how can you get better than? That, no it's not gonna get better than. That like, no unless you're, sitting LIKE i, said three feet away from a massive, screen which is pointless because you can't see the damn screen see it. All so, yeah, anyway that's, uh that's ALL i. Got. Cool cool we should get into, uh let's get into today's, topic. Whiplash all. Right, so Because i've been playing a lot Of witcher, three it's Been i'm getting a little fantasized about Uh witcher, Four and THEN i heard that there's a Rumored witcher THREE. Dlcy we've all heard the rumors about The witcher THREE dlc what we know so, Far So i'm going to bring you through it and we can chat about whatever pops into our. Brains so all key. Shop the website reports that incredible leaks point to A may twenty twenty six release for the RUMORED, dlc tying it strategically to the ten year anniversary Of blood And wine expansion That i'm currently playing and helping fears and helping fill the gap before The witcher four. Arrived the article also mentions that this expansion is seen as a massive standalone expansion rather than a minor add on with. Highlights some City Project road might be using it to reignite interest in the franchise Before witcher. Four that might make, SENSE i. GUESS i, mean If witcher for is a couple years out, still maybe. This if it's a standalone like experience with a good chunk of hours and a good, story that WOULD i guess do. That Pc gamer elaborates on this by quoting sources like The polish OUTLETS ig And, poland saying that the expansion was known about years, ago and part of the reason it hasn't been announced yet is because earlier info came from a single. Source they also explain that the maytiming makes sense given internal financial incentives and the desire to boost revenue Before witcher four. Launches M. I mean it does make. Sense it makes sense, WELL i can. SEE i can see this being very large since it's been they haven't touched which are? Three SINCE i think it Was blood And? Wine was It heart And stone? First Then blood And? Wine, yeah which are three? EXPANSIONS i believe so, Yeah heard And stone was twenty, Fifteen blood And wine twenty, sixteen so one, year one, year one, year which are? Three Then heart Of stone so which three came out in twenty, fourteen twenty, fifteen twenty. Fifteen the second thing we know is the new, region a new map Called, Zerrakanya. Za The Desert lore and. More ig In poland VIA pc gamer and a lot Of reddit talk says that according to reliable, insiders the expansion would take players To. ZERRAKANYA i think that's how you say it far a far off desert region mentioned in the books and lightly referenced In blood And. Wine, oh mentioned in the. Books, OKAY i haven't got to that mentioned yet In blood And. Wine but this is notably different from the existing which are regions and could bring visuals and gameplay far removed From velin Or Skelege Skellige. Skellige some speculative discussion even ties into lower points like the trial Of. Grasses The trial of The grasses the idea supported by the, book referenced and extrapolated by, fans. And the trial of The grasses is the process in which And siri is the only one who's ever willingly taken the trial of the The, GRASSES i, believe. And she's the only. Female, Yes so that's a lot of The witcher fan not a, lot but certain corners of The whicher fan base don't like. That what female taking The trial of the? Grasses uh w g l leaks goes even deeper into the zerakanagl. Leaks WHAT i, say wu blave you, said do blave v g. L, Leaks, yeah goes even deeper Into Zerkana lord noting references Like zerakanian mantikor school seen In blood And wine and The witcher TABLETOP, rpg which he increase the plausibility of this region being used for full expansion. Map SO i Haven't i've been Playing blood And, wine AND i haven't heard anybody talk about This zarcana place yet. Yet Like i've been playing this expansion for quite a. BIT i don't. Know AM i even close to being done? Yet? JEEZ i don't THINK i played. IT i played a little bit of it AS i was, playing, like, oh main, Game, LIKE i don't THINK i. Did the whole quest. LINE i don't BELIEVE i did maybe the first expansion. Though, man you know it's. COOL i downloaded the mod to Make garyl's eyes higher like brightness AND. Hdr oh, sick really like his eyes are like being on THE. Hdr it's so sick on THE pc on your ol. Ede yeah, yeah. Yeah so like when he's during the cut scenes and it's like, dark you just see these like cat. Eyes, man it's so. Sick, yeah very. Cool any, MEAN i don't. Know i'm not a fan of desert. Maps, yeah what can you really do in a? Desert it's just, sand you. Know But i'm sure they've got something cooking. UP a lot of people say that's just bullshit and they probably won't do, that but from what they're saying, here it sounds pretty plausible that they'd go that. Way Maybe i'll run into more of it or more about what they're talking about the MORE i Play blood And, Wine so we'll have to see about. That. Okay some people say That garyl hangs up his boots and sword to teach at This manticore school in the new. One, yeah in The witcher. Four, oh in the w four mm. Hmm so maybe there are we talking About hitcher four, Now, no this. Is Still witcher three. Expansion there a lot of what's coming. Next for the third, point a lot of people believe this expansion is getting them ready for the narrative change For witcher. Four so bridge To witcher four, narrative this is the third. Point all Key shop emphasizes that this RUMORED dealc is widely seen as a narrative bridge between The witcher three And witcher. Four is described not just as extra, content but some thing that could fill in the story, gaps including groundwork for series upcoming starring role in the next mainline, game. Which for maybe it'll be more like maybe it'll be like like THE dlc will be like a kind of like A god Of War ragnarok when you kind of play As, credos but you also play a lot as what's tres a? TREUS i was gonna, say trade, you. But, yeah maybe it'll be kind of like back and forth kind. Of richard three was also kind of like, that but maybe so maybe it'll be more of THAT i think it's gonna. Be it's gonna be more on the, series more on maybe vice via Ppe ppe dot p l is A polish video game news interviews, website and Other Polish let's back this up by including claims from sources Like Polish Insiders Boys Boris, Boris, Nisspilac Nish bilac that the expansion may evolve parts of the, story potentially explaining things like series powers or the state of the world Post Wild. Hunt you Beat witcher, three, right m, hm? Yeah my Ending witcher three. WAS i don't honestly, Remember like what the hell ENDING i got? Was? PERSON i don't, remember but, YEAH i can see. Them but that's the. Thing they're gonna play THIS. Dlc how much longer Is which four going to be to come? Out you know WHAT i, mean it's going to be two, years probably at least twenty twenty. Eight i'm gonna guess you, think do we? Do they did they even mention THAT. I think they. DID i think we have a mention of state when at. This point there's nothing indicating that it won't be able to hit a late twenty twenty seven release. Date twenty, eight, yeah most likely window late twenty twenty seven early twenty twenty, eight with most Analysts february twenty twenty. Eight, yeah twenty twenty eight more realistic for A polish. RELEASE A polish. RELEASE A polish was WHAT i was about to. Say, okay so people will have to chew on this expansion for like two years if it comes out In, may So i'm assuming it's gonna be pretty friggin, big pretty. BIG i, mean people will give people time to get around to. It there's other, Games so in the next two years you can finish a forty HOUR dlc. For. Winter it'll maybe take longer because you're going in and doing other stuff, Too like you're gonna get caught on the side, Quest you're gonna play Some, Gwent you're, gonna you, know visit the brothel a few. Times maybe you know how it, is you know how it. Goes more romances. Please our fourth point is who's making. It fools theory mentioned All Key shop plays out the rumor That fools, three the studio formally working on The witcher one remake and staff by veterans from Earlier witcher, games could be helping with The witcher THREE. Dlc this makes sense strategically SINCE cd project main team is focused On witcher. Four, MMM i don't know IF i like. THAT i, MEAN i, mean if they're working On witcher one, remake how are they working on this as? Well if they make witch are one like with the same shit As witcher, three Because whitcher one was really. WEIRD i tried to play. It it was very, strange like the controls Were i've never played AND i was what'er? Two And garrett looks so? Bad yeah, yeah, yeah, YEAH i can't go back and play no. Way screen rant rumor coverage also supports the idea that this would be a Larger, yeah it would be a larger, expansion not a quick patch with estimated thirty to forty hours of, gameplay comparable to the past deals us Like Blood Wine blood And wine's forty. Hours that's. Fucked, YEAH i definitely didn't do. THAT i definitely didn't Play blood And. Wine. Wow, Okay, well so hopefully it's got it lives to the same pedigree as is built to the same pedigree As blood And wine And witcher. Three if it's NOT Cd, project, right, yeah if it's not, Them so that kind of makes me a little bit m but you, know how about how bad could it? Be mar this mark this video? Here the fifth point being paid expansion. Expectations all Key shop and related leaks bring up chatter that the RUMORED dlc would be most likely, paid not free the. Community forty. Hours, yeah it's. Forty, hours probably around thirty DOLLARS, usd mirroring the expectations of previous Major witcher. Expansions, yeah but how much was blood And wine when that came? Out no idea and? Wine HOW pc gamer and others have described things not a tiny add, on but sizable that justifies the. Price, yeah something sizable that justifies the price and marketing. SUPPORT i mean that's a lot for A dlc THIRTY. Usd you played fifty bucks for A. Dlc, yeah while Blood mine came out like seven years, ago eight years ago for twenty DOLLARS, usd Like Henry deal's these twenty. Bucks, yeah but those are kind of. Small, YEAH i can see, THIS i Can i'll pay fifty. Bucks, WOW i MEAN i had. Fifty bucks FOR dlc on a ten year old. Game But switcher for, me if it's if it's a new games with exactly, Experience. Yeah, yeah, yeah like forty hours, Expansion like, NOW i don't know if that's forty, Hours like you get everything done in forty? Hours, yeah that would be nice, too though old mind. That another thing points to our point number, Six financial incentives and analyst. PREDICTIONS Pc gamers coverage of ig And poland's commentary goes into the corporate side of, THINGS Cd. PROJECT Cd project's earnings calls and internal financial incentives are feeding speculation that the company would want a big release before the end of twenty twenty six to help it hit revenue, goals ahead of Which Your forrest. Release various analysts Like Mettusie's, matteos Mattheos Zanowski Sewsnowski's tronowski are cited as saying a Major winchard THREE dlc could significally boost sales and financial. Performance like what else DOES cd project ren have going on right? Now cyberpunk's, done you, KNOW i don't think anything, Exactly so they need a big release make some. Money, yeah they haven't had anything since A Phantom. Liberty. YEAH i think they released like a board game or some shit like. Whatever Nintendo life also recounts that this prediction was supported by mentions from financial analysts who tied the RUMOR dlc TO cd project draws need to generate, revenue even mentioning the goals company might struggle to hit without a large title before which are four. Launches, yeah so like the, board people, like we need some, money, okay make something to make us some? Money when was? Uh when Was Cyberpunk? Phantom Phantom liberty was released On september twenty, sixth twenty twenty. Three what where HAVE i? Been? Yeah what the? Fu what twenty three? Three? Oh MAYBE i didn't play until. Later it was released on switch to In. June but, yeah it was released in twenty twenty. Three that's two years without a significant like game. Release. Wow two. Years, yeah so, Yeah i'd say twenty twenty six would be pretty good time to. Go, okay this would be. Great this would be. Great if this could come out this Year March, may. That'd be. Great let's do. It let's do. It THEN i Got, FEBRUARY i got Games, February March April, may, pazzing. Passing that's All i'm talking. About our last one is how far back these rumors. Go most, coverage including ig In poland's own, claims points out that the insiders were talking about this for, YEARS i don't know how many, years but outlets didn't publish because the info wasn't corroborated at the. Time, now with multiple sources independently echoing similar, details Is, arcania the development, plans revenue, motivations the rumor pile feels more substantial to many. Fans let's. Go i'm. Ready i'll tell you there's more a substance here than A Half life three. Launch exactly, THAT i tell. You, that. Exactly so a lot of this was taken From all Key shop V g. Leaks we all said this Mostly all Keys shop was a bit what the fuck Is all Key shop and probably where they SELL cd Keys and these guys are a reliable news. Source oh, yeah at THIS i THINK i have actually purchased from these guys. Before all key shop dot com. Legit where are they getting their their? News they do have a news, SECTION i. Guess. YEAH i love. That, YEP i am ready if they're going to do. It i'm ready. Now i'm gonna beat blood and wine That i'll be ready for a bridged expansion for which are four and get me pumped? Up but you know, what you know what it's not gonna make me do watch that fucking show. Again, NO i, haven't. Haven't did you? Watch? Yeah, wow it's, bad really it's. Bad, yeah he's just so like like when you got someone who just loves the, series the, books the game so much and you can tell that He's henry cavill in the first couple of, seasons was like really putting the work in the, role and then they flip it over this guy and he's just like kind of just doing it for a, paycheck it, feels you, know and like and it's just and then they got dande lyon who's? There Dan? Dillion Dan Dillion AND i don't, know the chemistry is not the same? Shit? Eh? Yep and series big lesbian in it now really making out with? Girls serious. SERIES i don't remember all, right the girl she's? In what else is she? In planet of The? Apes? Oh, yes that's, right the New planet of The, apes the new, one the newest. One that's that's all we. Got that's all we know so far for The witcher three dal c possibly coming out In may. Six what do we know about The witcher? Four? No? Much, really is there any information on The witcher? Four what do we know about? It? Uh, oh oh my, god there's a big reddit thing about. It, oh here we. Go CAN i Put reddit in dark mode For fox's? Sake? Yes, okay, here let's go. Through so this user on Former. Fix his name is posted on the. Subreddit this guy seems to have done his homework. Here, yeah the game will start a few years After witcher. Three it's going to be series origin story that. Doesn't make sense origin. Story we know her, origin don't? WE i. Don't, YEAH i thought we had some of that in the first. Game siri will be the First witcher by. Choice siri underwent The trial of The GRASSES cd Project red knew this would be. Controversial many devs spoke out reassuring players they won't break any cannon and that it's thoroughly thought a thoroughly thought through. Decision this quote, HERE i can't reveal any, spoilers but we definitely won't take the trial. Lightly it's a huge. Deal and now this could even work for Or, sorry it's a huge. Deal and how this could even work For, siri and how others react to this. Happening it's definitely a huge part of the story we're going to tell narrative Director Philip Viba Whatever siri is a mutated source connecting witcher and sorcerer abilities, serious less defined than, garyl less, experienced and, younger she offers a wider range of narrative. Choices players will learn the trade alongside her and define her. Codex, oh the way she deals with struggles and. Quests origin story like origin of Her witcher start start as A, Witcher i'm. Assuming, yeah because she didn't do the trial of she Wasn't witcher three and she's, yeah she was just kind of trained with The, witchers you. Know so this she's actually going to go through the trial and that's. Story, yeah that's pretty. Greedy that's actually. Sick, okay that's. Cool serious story is a battle against. Destiny this battle comes at a price that will have to be paid, eventually either By siria or by those dear to. Her, like there's a lot of stuff. Here, yeah your actions within the open world and the people you permit to come close to all have the potential to affect the path series goes down and who she will. Become survival depends not only in your skills in, combat but also the connections you make with those around. You her medallion is A lynx series medallion is A. Lynx. Yeah many people assume that therefore a school of The links, exists but they didn't confirm. That in the, Books witchers have different. Medallions, despite, oh despite being from the same. SCHOOL garrelt will. Appear they didn't say whether he'll be playable or. Not garrelt will be around for a long, time at least until thirteen seventy, three one hundred and one years After The witcher. Three okay spoilers for his. DEATH i, guess, YEAH i guess in. Years she will always choose the bigger. Evil she's very, passionate. Determined she's a continuator Of garrel's values, honorable, brave and. Just but she also has a side that have that they haven't explored much more grim and rebellious and FEARCE i, Like, okay there's some info about the. World there will be multiple, regions a lot of emphasis on creating distinct identities for each region that are special to its root or. Origin map roughly the same size As The witch are, three inspired by RPGs Like Kingdom, Come deliverance two and Boulders gate. Three oh, yes but will not copy those. Approaches they will not create a. Sim animals strowne in the tech demo include, whatever, crows, deers, horses, pigs, chickens blah. Blah one of the regions IS. Covid the forest is described as one of the key experiences and the heart of the. Games it may take a, lot like take place in the forest a lot by what this. Says the forest is described as one of the key. Experiences SO i wonder HOW i wonder how they can do, That like if they can make the forest like like a really cool experience to just always be in M that would be. Cool that would be really. Fun cool technology uses Custom underligine five. Build it's built in a way that allows them to take advantage of all the future features coming to Un religion. Five this game is going to look fucking. Unbelievable, YEAH i think. So hopefully it runs, Well oh my, GOD i mean although ON p Six, yeah this is A ps six game. FOR gta SIX ps six which are Four. Yeah great tracing default option obviously creates a secure environment for artists to work In smooth's. Development smoothens development and helps keep the art direction. Consistent we did have a tech. Demo obviously we whicher for tech. Demo it showcase the technology they'll, use but that's not what the game is going to look like. Like you, Know i'm assuming the aesthetic and the models will look like. That it's, like the tech demo isn't as large as an open, world So i'm assuming it can't look that. Good, no, right it can't look that good because. Features, shown what's, say include reactive NPCs with chain reactions under that, sweet detailed, routines seamless cut scene, transitions cloth, physics muscle, simulation dynamic flora and day and night, cycles lens film, simulation volumetric. Clouds look at. That the tech demo had a dynamic base resolution of eight hundred to TEN, adp which was upscaled to fourteen forty p WITH tsr and then further upscale the FOUR K, geez which of four is developed with the console first mindset because it's easier to scale up than, down especially with the solid foundation their new technologies. Provide, YEAH i guess that makes sense because FOR pc they're going to scale. Up aiming for sixty fps on Consoles xbox will be extremely. Challenging, yeah, no, shit don't even. Try, yeah why would you? Even this is just just be another. Cyberpunk come, on just scrap. It scrap the SERIES s, please. You know what they? Please they can't Because microsoft is, like, no you have to make it for SERIES. S check this. Out microsoft can't tell them what to. Do, well, yeah if they make it For Xbox SERIES, x they have to have a. Port For SERIES s they have to have a matching. Port so APPARENTLY i skipped a piece of, news but it seems developers don't want to Make xbox schemes much. ANYMORE i found a news article about that because no one's buying. Them, yeah no one's buying. Them all these like regulations that you have to make games for the SERIES. S Probably, yeah that's really, dumb really. Dumb, Anyway, yeah totally. Cool there's a lot of more of, stuff just kind of additional, details BUT i mean this is. Cool, oh there's some mention Of fool's theory. Here under. DEVELOPMENT a part Of fool's theory is Small studio created by X witcher devs and the team behind Which Your one remake is currently also working On What You're, four due to its development directly affecting work on Which your one? Remake oh what?
