I bought Unicorn Overlord on Xbox to show my support for Vanillaware/ATLUS/SEGA/Japan on my preferred platorm (despite having a Switch and PS5 as well). There are dozens of us!
I need to ask because it's been bothering me for a while: What's up with acting like "greenlit" is incorrect? Both green-lighted and greenlit are correct, but greenlit is much more commonly used.
32:18 I think the biggest lesson is if you make a massive remake like this. DON’T put it on only one platform. If it launched on PS/XBOX&PC all at once I think this would a be a completely different narrative. PS executives has said in the past their base/platform isn’t sustainable for returns on these big budget type of games 🤷♂️
I don't know. I get the feeling that even if remake sales had doubled (as in releasing on Xbox had just as much success as a very hyped, well received, platform exclusive on the more popular platform), it still wouldn't have met expectations or broken even. Pc is the wildcard, but I'm at least inclined to think what Grubb said is true - nobody is going to try doing this again for a while.
There's the most amazing interview with Brenda and John Romero on RMC tea break from two years back. 1 hour of total and utterly awesomeness 🤩 And - I heard the most amazing thing, on "the retro hour", regarding the Sega Saturn port of Doom, where Carmack didn't approve in the hardware accelerated version - resulting a much, much slower software based version making it to market instead. The author of the Sega port met with Romero by chance at a con. - some years back. He asked about the missing approval, Romero was a total champ about it, noting he was normally in charge of 3rd party ports approvals, but was away on vacation that week with Carmack standing in. Romero noted kindly that he would have approved the orginal, much faster hardware version with no hesitation 🤩.

Mike thinking his list is better let alone that far better than Grubbs is maybe a bit delusional really. Also it’s best HERO right? Solid snake even says he’s no hero 😉
What kind of fool thinks its a great idea to go buy those games now that the studios are closed? "Hey now that none of the people that made these will ever see another penny from these games, go reward 2K for closing the entire studio and buy the game with NO cut going to any dev from the projects ever again!" Think before giving money to someone to read your ignorant comment just because you get a dopamine rush.
mike, i'm with you. guybrush is a great pick, and you should be barred from the industry if you don't know who he is. but i'd personally take manny calavera over him
6:30 show start

I have an incredible level of concern of over the Bible black questions
Wtf is Guybush Threepio?
Alucard isn’t a Goku but Geralt is 😂
love grubb saying "thelma and louise it"
Jeff got wrecked this game mess. Crash bandicoot!? Really! Sonic! Get it together brother. This episode was so funny I nearly cried.
My criteria for voting is “If the heroes of these lists were at different parties, which one would you go to?”.
Mike’s wins, easy
Would have countered Bayonetta with 2B or Dante
No sans?
Xbox has way more than 2 games releasing over the last 2 years... a lot more than playstation 1 game a year
PlayStation already released multiple exclusives this year. Xbox has released nothing so far until Hellblade 2

Grubb's list is better

Mike's delusional if he thinks he has the better list XD
Master Chief is a Goku too because of the books.

Always so condescending about Xbox. Really sick of the Xbox hate on this show from these clowns
You should try not being a console fanboy, then those made up problems in your head won't be there.
This before or after they shutdown the studios?
Who the fuck is Goobrush Thripio
