Game Scoop! 742: PS5 Slim Shady

[@daniel_najar]

My favorite boss fight is “The End” in MG3. That sniper with the old man in the jungle was 🔥

[@steveafanador6441]

Hell yeah that was an awesome boss fight 👍👍

[@kingtoby3166]

Unless you changed the date on your PS2, winding it forward by two weeks. Reload and boom, he died of old age.

[@ROYYYBERT]

Daemon saying “wanna play some video games?” Killed me!! That should be meme! A PS5 poking out from a street corner saying “wanna play some video games?” 😂😂😂

[@fabienzaca]

When does he say that?

[@IBODEGAI]

Psycho Mantis is the greatest boss battle ever. Period.

[@ParadoxalDream]

35:54 The Wii Mini also got the GameCube backward compatibility removed. All the PS3 redesigns lacked the internal PS2 components for backward compatibility too. 37:41 The 2DS was definitely targeted at young kids, the hingeless design was much sturdier than any previous devices in the DS family.

[@JessOwnZ64]

Shoutout to the Red boss fight at the end of pokemon gold and silver. Fighting the player character from the original game at the top of a mountain with fantastic music is top tier.

[@amard1981]

Headline should have read - “PS5 Slim, shady? “ 😁

[@Huw64]

Resi 5…punching the boulder is one of the most memorable boss fights 😂

[@JMGauthier]

Rick the Door Technician from Jedi Survivor is the best boss fight.

[@CaptainEggcellent]

I’m pretty sure there was only the PS2 and the PS2 slim. The Ultra slim isn’t an official Sony product.

[@nickmajora]

Anyone on Scoop got the Quest 3?

"Adorably All Digital" is such an insane tag line for the new Series X.

The Walmarts I'm my area (Co) definitely ripped the bandaid off by just completing removing the game and movie section from our stores and it sounds like best buy is following suite 😢

[@ensjtaylor]

No physical movies or games at all! That’s crazy

[@BeyondKnight]

It's wholesome the way Daemon is so pleased with the "Birdo Surprise" in Super Mario RPG

[@brentparker3607]

Spiderman 2 is AU$125 digital day one in Australia - but AU$99 from Amazon day one inc tax/delivery (and it wont take long to drop to AU$89 from Amazon but stay high on playstation digital).....it's like that for all games - that's my worry with digital only

[@EXxileOnline]

The Xbox 360 S redesign is possibly my favorite out of the bunch.

[@babybulllets]

27:39 He’s gotta be taking about either Titan or Bahamut. Literal gaming highlights for me as well. I’ve never seen such scale and spectacle playing a game.

[@isntchrisl]

Watching these guys ignore Sega, question after question, was both aggravating and hilarious.

[@_KMAC_]

Damn they really needed Sam for this Video Game 20 Qs. 😂

[@MattFrancis1]

gotta love when the biggest news in gaming for a long time drops after you just post an episdoe.

[@theVoltan]

I’d just like to mention / remind that PS5 prices were already increased by 50€ outside of US last year (and so were Xbox’s this year) - so there’s no new price increase for digital anywhere else and it’s actually more of a “still no increase on disc version” situation. (The stand is its own issue)

[@Dnky27]

The AC games are being shortened because at the demand of gaming journalists who are now Dad's and cannot finish a bloody game anymore.

[@X82BIGBLUE82X]

It’s crazy how nobody finishes games anymore. Can you imagine watching 25% of a movie and than telling everyone that it’s either incredible or horrible?!

[@stuartbagley2586]

All gaming journalists love shorter single player games because they have to move from game to game.

[@MrHitman2284]

Mark is a gaming historian that's why he got the job on ign

[@JungleOfMeat]

Who didn't know the 360 separate drive was a HD dvd drive. Most people who work at ign...a company that works in video game industry...don't know about video games.

[@mark_medina_ign4725]

@@JungleOfMeatYeah I was in high school when the 360 first came out and HD-DVD drives were a thing so, never had one. And nothing about my current job requires me to know what that drive was. That said, no idea why he’s calling me a historian. 😂

It feels like the PS5 just varely came out because it was impossible to walk into a store and buy ine until this year.

[@jamesdayton2598]

Looking up Chu Chu Rocket, it say's it came out in November of 1999.

[@USMCbrantley]

For Japan March 7th, 2000 for USA Yeah its kinda interesting to see what date they would use for certain games Like Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World came out the same year but not in the same countries. SMB3 was 1990 for the US 1989 for Japan SMB4 was 1991 for US but 1990 for Japan.

This is the first time watching where the panel didn't win 20 Questions.

[@Charles12236]

On technical side, most AAA games are well over 100 GB now so they wont fit on a single disc. We are running into this on disc for movies too. Avatar 2 in 3D is actually on 2 discs because its so big. Just another reason why things are going digital.

All the bosses in MGS3

[@stuartbagley2586]

Scoop Crew! You let me down. The 360 did have a detachable hard drive. How can you forget the Core and Arcade consoles that used it? Where is Ryan MacCaffery when you need him?!

Digital vs physical for me is the discounted price .

[@MalibuJack88]

If the disk drive breaks. You can easily replace it! Peace.

[@HypeVectorPrime]

The ps2 ultra slim isn't a real console, it's a user mod.

[@Garoth4582]

Not one MGS boss fights from anyone is embarrassing. You at least have to mention Psycho Mantis, The End, and the last fight against liquid Ocelot in MGS 4. Most MGS boss fights are the best boss fights. Also the micro GBA was a joke.

[@bandai1983]

[@MrHitman2284]

And a math major

[@bandai1983]

Genesis does.... Sega CD Also 64dd and the Nintendo cd drive

[@didsburydan]

Also how did no MGS bosses end up on those lists?

[@mark_medina_ign4725]

Can't speak for anyone else, but Ive been very open about the fact that Ive never played a MGS game! Looking to change that with the remasters this year!

[@mrmike6600]

Why does mark say he wants to get the new ps5 with the disk drive and then complain about having to get up and put a disk in his ps5?.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mark_medina_ign4725]

Because I’m miserable and don’t know what I want. Also the reality is that I do own some physical games and blu-rays, so I would still want to be able to access those. Plus the moaning about getting up to put Cyberpunk in the console was for comedy purposes, i don’t actually care that much. Just trying to be funny on a podcast by over-exaggerating a thing that happened.

Does pc have physical games anymore? No. Consoles should be the same as a pc library. Always be there on digital format. Also I've never known a company that works in video game industry to not know about video games. How did he not know the xbox 360 separate drive was a HD dvd player?

[@R17759]

Every game already is digital. Having the option for physical is nice for those that want it. Im sure most people don’t know that there even was a separate disc drive for the 360.
