Game Scoop! 612: May 2021 Is Going to Be Huge for Games

[@gamescoop]

Sorry about the video quality here. We have a solution in place for next week.

[@mosescharles]

Did i miss it or did you guys list all of the games that were releasing in May 2021 for the next gen consoles? I need to rewind because i SWEAR you never mentioned them. Lol

[@rebell813]

@@mosescharles They only got to talk about Mass Effect lol. Seems like some of that segment got cut out after God of War.

[@levi1986able]

Thank you guys you make my week every Friday when I have an over hour drive home. Awesome cast and my favorite pod cast period

[@ShakenFungus]

I had a great listen nevertheless. Thank you for keeping Game Scoop consistently awesome.

[@ghenriquess1]

Thanks for the awesome Job and good vibes!

[@bradcuster]

It’s my 10 year anniversary of the being a viewer of Game Scoop today! I discovered it because I was looking for a gaming podcast, but kept coming back each week because of positivity and fun. Things have changed a lot over the years, but never the quality of the show. Thanks for the 10 years of entertainment and I hope I be able to celebrate another 10!! You guys are the best!

[@gamescoop]

Thanks for hanging out with us for so long!

[@theish79]

Game Scoop! is the ONLY video game podcast.

[@kdkseven]

positivity lol

[@TerribleMighty1]

I came here because Sam told us audio listeners to see Daemon's face at the end of 20 Questions - scrub ahead to 1:07:45 if you are a visiting audio listener.

[@hysumful]

Correction (spoilers for 20 questions): The Order 1886 is not a first party game. It was developed by Ready at Dawn. The were an independent developer at the time the game was made and are owned by Oculus now.

[@shejmus]

The main developer for Order 1886 is Ready at Dawn, they are not a Sony studio, but they got help from Santa Monica.

[@Digdugduggie101]

In fact they’re owned by Facebook now IIRC

[@LPDisturbedHU]

Yeah, I was confused because I was like "Okay, its either Days Gone, Dreams, Last Guardian, or Concrete Genie", then narrowed it down to Days Gone because of everything. When I heard Order 1886 I was so confused. lol

[@lvl_hed851]

Shoutout to Pandemic Studios, makers of the classic title 'The Saboteur.'

[@jamesartaxetiv5477]

I remember that game I always wanted to play it....it looked awesome back in the day but I never played it....just seeing this comment reminded me ohhh yeaaa haha

[@Real_Sgt_Tom]

17:30 WRONG! Xbox will actually pop up a message that you should install the game on your internal drive for the Series X version.

[@AnyGamesNecessary]

Tina is the only person over 1000 hours "You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers"

[@face76]

Loved the episode as usual. Watching the episode from my hospital bed. Nice to have Scoop to cheer me up. Just missed one thing, the discussion of May being a huge month for game releases. Lol.

[@gamescoop]

Stay tuned for the next episode!

[@jeffmoscaritolo6426]

A t-shirt for Daemon that says "Thursday is basically Friday."

[@TheDeanFilez]

lol that was awesome

[@TheDeanFilez]

Actually, the Xbox has a nice and easy drop down menu in your games list, that sorts your games by console/version. Also, the "keep my games updated" setting works pretty well too.

[@catchpole11]

Did they actually talk about why May is going to be great for games?

[@MemeCastGuy69]

Seriously WTF

[@mO-gy8ee]

0:59 But 1st play breakdown 12:45 PS5 God of war patch 19:42 Mass Effect 33:13 1995 EGM 50:10 favorite intro 55:30 20 questions

[@browk2512]

I really like how Justin's video is the only one working properly this episode. I think this is a metaphor for something!

[@johnphillips618]

[@patrickwarner7818]

My Friday is complete!!! THE OMEGA COPS!

[@skaiprulez]

I feel old when they pull up those awesome game magasines. I was one of the people who paid for IGN insider back then to watch those exclusive videos for Zelda Ocarina of Time. Lol. Lets just say Im now 35 and still watch/read you guys. Keep up the good work !

[@blake3120]

First Matrix is an absolute classic, also watched it recently. Sorry Sam, wrong on this one.

[@Psychof1st]

If he criticized the second one, I might let that slide. With the middle one being more action heavy than the other two, I can understand someone not liking it as much. But, I loved all three.

[@PhinneusPrune]

I feel like I am watching a dubbed version of Game Scoop

[@thewirv]

Guys, The Order is not a first-party game... It was merely second-party, Ready at Dawn never has been a Sony studio

[@thewirv]

so funny that Justin is literally the only one that's not lagging 😂

[@baha3287]

He kept it real-time. ;)

[@jamesartaxetiv5477]

Nice I didn’t even notice until I read your comment now Justin looks like a G all smooth noddin his head haha 😂 everyone else has cyberpunk 2077 running in the background haha 😂

[@jessebluespncr]

You have to go into your ps5 settings and download your ps4 saves to your ps5 from the cloud

[@viktormustapic]

Ready at Dawn made The Order 1886 and they’re NOT a first party studio. Edit: but I wish they were...

[@Crashme222]

Yeah I was confused because they're not XD But it got pretty clear none of these people are huge PlayStation fans, Greg Miller and Colin Moriarty would scream watching this LOL

[@NickBLeaveIt]

It was co-developed by Santa Monica Studio; apparently in some trailers you actually see them before Ready at Dawn

[@boochtron]

so they can make another horrible game?

[@marioq8395]

I always remember the Ocarina of Time intro screen of Link and Epona running around Hyrule with that slow music playing. So epic.

[@jarredcombs7603]

When you are looking at your games on series x/s it has the series x/s logo in the corner. It’s easy to tell what you’re playing on Xbox.

[@baundiesel]

60 FPS consoles and 10 FPS podcasts.

[@solid_justice5855]

they changed it for ps5 though, now you see what version you are playing even when downloading.

[@davidly138]

I disagree about femshep v broshep. In ME1 I agree that Jennifer Hale delivers a better performance. But by mass effect 2 and especially 3, Mark Meer improved massively and the way he delivers some of the the lines. Especially at the very end of the citadel dlc when shep says "the best". Meer was much better. Just my opinion.

[@Alcaatraz01]

I totally agree. Admittedly I never played ME1. I picked the series up when 3 was being release so played 2 then 3. And I felt male shep fit the part. Very badass military vibes. I've also heard from the Xbox ign podcast that some of them prefer male shep as well. Also the argument that femshep was better in the games seems at odds with the fact that the devs went ahead and back ported the ME3 fem shep to the first two games. What that implies is that she was a progressing character design (the default one at least). So why would they feel the need to do that if she's way better the male shep...? Idk, feels like to me that either fits the part well in some way or another so I'll have to disagree with the Scoopers this time.

[@Alcaatraz01]

Also this is coming from a person that plays almost female characters exclusively in games that have the option!

[@zap9124]

Idk if you already do or not but can't you use your own server for video calls? I believe that is what other youtubers are doing.

[@gamescoop]

We've been using Discord but it's terrible. We'll use something different next week.

[@KamixSam]

Just wanna say ME3 doesn’t have the best ending BUT the individual character endings are so good and make the game worth playing. I was moved by almost everyone’s ending and was definitely moved by the Citadel dlc. Please give 3 a chance :) also the game play is so good haha

[@MrWizardvoice]

Exactly what I've always said. Mordin's ending is so good. That game is so much more than the last 20 minutes.

[@KamixSam]

@@MrWizardvoice exactly! BioWare gave all the characters great endings and to me it made mass effect 3 one of my favorite games on the 360

[@aaronquinn311]

Tina meant Netflix is no longer on Wii U. No one corrected her. It's never been on Switch.

[@danielbenton4977]

Daemon pulled a face as though he knew what she meant though :D

[@bfc9467]

it's kinda crazy for me to compare your guy's ps4 wrapped and overall gaming habits to my own. You guys have more money/access for new games but less time to play them. As a student who completed my final year of highschool this year, with lockdown and everything too, I had about 4 months where I had literally no responsibilities. I have about 5 games each with hundreds of hours, you guys have probably hundreds of games with 10-50 hours.

[@bradcuster]

My top three games were: 1. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla 137 hrs 2. Red Dead Redemption 2 136 hrs 3. Ghost of Tsushima 96 hrs The funny thing is my top two games I’m still not finished playing.

[@able4698]

Where do you find these stats?

[@TheIzzyNetworkChnl]

They don’t understand the playstation wrap up. Edit: I realize they don’t know as much as i think they should know.

[@linx3289]

TAS (tool assisted speedruns) are baaasically an attract mode through the entire game, right?

[@LucasFelipedaCunha]

What movie do they talk about close to 20:40? Sam mentions that he watched a movie but I can't understand which one.

[@SirCrofty]

They're talking about The Matrix.

[@thewirv]

20:23 what movie series?

[@ClintStryzerGaming]

Where does one go to find out all this information on Playstation game time?

[@DarkElfPaladin]

Man I've played the mass effect trilogy at least 6 or 7 times and I'm still tempted to get the legendary edition. 3 is my favorite though, and even andromeda has a special place for me.

[@SkeeLoGreene]

I loved the first 3, and Mass Effect 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. I REALLY tried to enjoy Andromeda, but something about it just didn't grab me

[@Khaostheory1980]

Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies (the one mentioned in the magazine) were massive in the UK on the Commodore Amiga. There seems to be a lot of games that flew under the radar between Europe and the US in those days. Mario and Sonic etc were not as big in the UK when compared to games on the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amiga plus many others. Manic Miner, Dizzy, Turrican are the platform games of my childhood and my friends at the time. Hardly anyone had a console, it was all home computers.

Love ur weekly videos. Make me happier durin these endurin times. Cheers from Brazil!

[@OfficialDaBeast]

I've only played Andromeda, and it was maybe 2 years after release, so I loved it. Didn't know what was going on with the overarching story, but the character stories/missions were what made me love it. I honestly don't think I will play the remastered trilogy since the first game I played was the last in the series. I don't think I can go back and play the other games if they have less features.

[@mO-gy8ee]

What is everyone's top 3 played games ? Mine are 1) the outer world's 96 hours 2) Lego Ninjago 32 hours 3) Control 28 hours Played the 1st 3 chapters in 2019

[@zlucoblij]

Prehistorik 1 & 2 were great on PC, played them as a kid. I wonder if the Nintendo version is any good.

[@antoniomay167]

Resident Evil Outbreak had the best intro I've ever seen in a game. So atmospheric

[@Settledown77]

48:00 the top right it the magazines says Playmates! Is that supposed to be PlayStation?! 😄

[@Lion0fTheDesert]

It could have been horizon zero dawn and it was not mentioned once.

[@LPDisturbedHU]

Its technically part of a series because of Horizon Forbidden West. If the game wasn't announced, sure, it would be a one-off.

[@telellis2402]

What is the song at the start?! I know it an it's annoying me lol

[@jaminfuller4618]

Order 1886 isn't first party. It was second party developed by Ready at Dawn.

[@vjvolition]

Sam, have you read The Last and First Man by Olaf Stapleton? Highly recommend it if you haven't, it's one of the most mind-blowing sci fi books I've ever read.

[@bbgen79]

❤️ the retro song tracks at the end.

Mark meer is my Shepard and he does an amazing job!

[@graefx]

I still lament the loss of OG ME1. I liked it being a remixed KOTOR and the change away from that style of old Bioware RPG was probably what lost me.

[@ratpimples]

Excuse me for being an idiot but did anyone else think the 20 questions answer was Horizon?

[@cygnusx-1256]

I figured it wasn't Horizon Zero Dawn because they have a sequel announced which would make it part of a series.

[@ratpimples]

@@cygnusx-1256 but does it count since it hasn’t been released? It could be cancelled for all we know.

[@Crashme222]

YEAH! It checked all the boxes

[@cygnusx-1256]

@@ratpimples If you say so, but I personally have serious doubts that Sony would cancel it based off of how well it was received and how many times they've shown HFW. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying my analytical conclusion excluded HZD for that reason. I think we can agree it definitely wasn't Ghost of Tsushima because that clearly has Online Multiplayer(and technically upgraded to 60FPS in Resolution mode.) --SPOILERS-- Criteria for reference: PS4 exclusive, No ps5 upgrade, developed by Sony studio, not part of a series/one off, not first person perspective, not included in PSN, (not an INDIE), Doesn't Have Online Multiplayer, realistic environment - Yessish("Unrealistic things happen in a realistic environment"), Play as a human, Don't often ride a motorcycle in this game, Not a Japanese game, Enemies are humans - "sometimes"

Daemon! I've requested a few years back but you guys got to read some of the bad reviews in those old EGMs! Just look for anything that scored like a 3.0, 4.0 or worse and just read the reviews. The writers had a lot of fun with their reviews and they would be bagging on the worst games and a lot of them were laugh out loud funny.

[@LJlax20]

Looking forward to playing mass effect for the first time, will definitely play as fem shep. That said I kind of hate when there's so much pressure to make the right dialog choices or your story could end up not being what you want. Obviously I don't know what I want the story to go towards, but nonetheless everyone talks so highly of it so I can't let that scare me away from the series
