Sorry to hear you're under the weather bud, but I just wanted to say how happy I am to have found this channel. I'm originally from South Africa and I used to buy a gaming magazine called New Age Gaming every single month on release day...the main reason being that they had a free disk full of video content. The videos I would look forward to most were The Final Bosman! Your style of critique and discussion paired with genuine authenticity just really appeals to me. Given that we had terrible and overpriced internet, that was my only access to the show and I was so sad when that era came to an end. Then all these years later I heard a reference to your channel during the Friends Per Second podcast... I still get the same excitement to hear you speak about something in the games industry that is completely outside of my expectations. Keep up the awesome work bud and I hope you get better soon!

[@kennethwells4177]

Had never heard of The Final Bosman being on the New Age Gaming Disc, truly wonder if Kyle knows this even exists

[@danielsnyman8501]

​​@@kennethwells4177Yeah I can't say I ever remember seeing Final Bosman on any of the disks I looked at. I do recall them having a lot of Game Trailers videos in them though, which were quite fun and I remember seeing Kyle appear in some of those. Cool to see other people who enjoyed the New Age Gaming Magazines, loved them growing up.

[@niccolomanahan7775]

I was nodding my head with increasing levels of violence with every bullet point Kyle presented during the Indy segment.

[@seamusobrian9050]

That Indiana jones scene was insane especially considering the cutscene direction in the two main wolfenstein games was incredible

[@Rorchord]

Funny you highlighted Mario Odyssey, I have gone back to watch the EZA reaction to the Mario and zelda BOTW trailers soooooo many times. Infectious joy.

This Delayed Input feels just like classic Indy!

"Serving the purpose without actually fulfilling the need" is such a great description lmao.

The episode was a TEN OUTTA TENNNNNNN

[@tetrorisvolto]

I'm happy someone pointed out how badly the Indy scene was shot/edited. I felt like I was taking crazy pills. Especially since Spielberg is very good at directing action comedy moments.

[@bricewgilbert]

I was going to post the same comment about me feeling like I was taking crazy pills, but then I saw this so yeah that covers it.

[@brandonburton5928]

"I was almost genuinely nice" is a god tier phrase.

[@brainfreeze10]

I'm thankful for Kyle's takes at a time like this when the larger internet's take makes me feel out of touch lol

[@ernietoast]

I think this is my favorite post-credits you've ever done. Cracked me up the whole way LOL

[@mattcurrin493]

I love that he has hair. My first thought for why he would put the bandana on quickly is that he’s embarrassed he’s bald, but nope he has a full head of hair.

[@kharitaylor3782]

Actually, anyone who has finished Gears 3 knows Marcus has a full head of hair, as he takes the doo-rag off in the final cutscene of the campaign. That being said, Marcus' GOW3 hair is so Marvel's Wolverine-like/UE3 dated that you immediately want him to put the bandana back on. It's just one big black clump of short, spiky hair 😂

[@ChrisPBacon-xn9up]

And really pretty hair to boot as well.

[@Grogeous_Maximus]

Except for the glowing orb part. I like the glowing orb.

[@WasiKaBooM]

The honk killed me

[@neonswift]

Considering Perfect Dark looked like a combination of Deus Ex and Mirrors Edge I don't think it was purely prestige in my eyes. It may not be original in terms of gameplay, but it did look like exciting gameplay from an immersive sim-like perspective.

[@Alex_Logan22]

Yea Game of the show, but it also looked scripted like the initial Bioshock Infinite gameplay reveal, it’s more of a target than a preview of the final product.

[@TheatreKallum]

Kyle break down of the weird direction of trailers or cutscenes was great. It's the kinda stuff that takes me out of games when cutscenes make no sense and have awful shot composition.

[@ben-tendo]

The Breath of the Wild 2017 reveal trailer I feel is the greatest of all time, and gets that pacing (and use of music) spot on.

[@justaguy2732]

Got nothing on the Twilight Princess 2004 E3 Trailer ❤

[@rtuumm]

I don't understand this hype of XBOX E3 showing. I predicted they would be showing alot of games (to get into the Good graces of gamers and hopefully hype up Gamepass), but most will just be CGI for games that are 4-6 years away. And that's exactly how it happened. Then you got to consider the fact that almost all of these games are gonna be on PS5....

[@Baypas77]

I salute you for comparing the Doom trailer to Contact by Daft Punk. Spot on!!!

[@bipsmaster]

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one baffled by the Indy scene

[@ANovaMaquinadoTempo]

Kyle, that scene appears in the Avowed trailer because they wanted to show that the game has a 3-person mode which was later confirmed. It would have been much better to have a text accompanying the scene saying that it has 3 person mode because it just looked like a cinematic scene. The COD BO6 direct, although it had its problems, was very good at showing innovations in gameplay and a strong focus on the campaign, which was enough for a person like me, who had lost interest in COD, to want to play again. Of course, joining Gamepass reduces an important barrier. Oh and Perfect dark is an immersive sim with parkour elements (a mix of Deus Ex and Mirrors Edge), which the trailer shows made a lot of people interested in the game, the trailer communicates this very well.

[@justinmaples3466]

Regarding Perfect Dark, that glowing orb in the jungle Kyle dismissed actually got me intrigued lol. Reminded me of Annihilation.

[@iXiClub]

Kyle, that giant glowing orb in Perfect Dark is your infamous Back to the Future octopus thingamabob. -FUNKNOWN

[@ThisAlbino]

That is not a Doc Brown Spider Monster.

[@iXiClub]

@@ThisAlbino You’re watching this trailer thinking yeah perfect dark is back and looking cool with all its grounded sci-fi near future tech spy espionage, then BAM! A fucking huge colorful glowing orb with mfers in hazmats suits approaching it in this trippy sequence. That’s a doc brown spider monster, for sure.

[@OrielFilms]

Kyle I am so with you on that cutscene direction, I also am baffled at people saying how good it looked. You managed to put into words the nitpics I was thinking.

[@KilliK69]

because it nailed the spirit of the OT.

[@ryankerns2450]

Feel better soon Kyle! getting COVID is a rough ride

[@InnerRise]

Wonder if the Easy Allies have it then since Kyle was there.

[@Punko1969]

Yup. That's my Indy.

[@christopherlyndsay8611]

The best thing about the Doom trailer was that it has actual gameplay in it. Cutscene trailers always feel a bit disingenuous to me ngl

[@GuyFromNorth]

Hey this has the music from Huber Hype's recent SGF episode!

[@TheRhedNova]

I think variety is an interesting one, because it DOES need to be there on a fundamental level and people will complain if it isn't, but variety also usually ends up sparking the most common complaints (people who only play one genre/are anticipating one specific game upset about everything else taking up time). Always appreciate the analysis, these shows are so interesting from production viewpoints!

[@RappingNinja]

I had no issues following the Indy cut scene, but sure - they could change two or three of the camera angles to be better. Even still… it was pretty awesome.

[@kenshokram]

Turns out the best corporate option to take was "pretend nothing bad happened" and gamers will just still eat it all up. No one learns anything.

[@SungurEge]

@@christopherlyndsay8611You can say the exact same thing for wanting to be naively excited too. At least people’s anger was justified, the positive buzz around the Xbox showcase is due to the same copium/hopium they have been serving their fanbase for the past 10 years.

[@TheCybercoco]

People don't really care about overblown, fake virtue signaling nonsense by ragebaiters. Only stupid people, who need other people to think for them, do.

[@EHeroClayman]

Excellent use of the honk. Also, Kyle being a connoisseur of durags was something I didn't not see coming.

[@FLARE0415]

I’m trying to nuance myself more with the honk. Typically he uses it at the end of a blatant lie or ironic statement. This one went over my head, could you please explain 🙏

[@uomoartificiale]

I know you went searching for the McCaffrey article. I respect that

[@ShadyPaperclips]

The Xbox Showcase being so good kinda explains the weird lack of announcements at SGF I'm pretty sure MS paid good money to take all the good games and show them on their showcase lol

[@cantfindmywilltolive657]

Naw I’m pretty sure that most 3rd party didn’t want to spend half a million for a 2 minute trailer

[@MrXmoda]

I mean they paid good money to have Bethesda and activism on so yeah lol

[@cantfindmywilltolive657]

@@MrXmoda I mean it’s theirs now why show it and pay someone else for it I’m guessing the price for games to be shown at Xbox Was cheaper than sgf cuz assassin creed and expedition 33 showed off at Xbox and it’s usually always Xbox that shows more indie games

These presentations are almost like concerts. Start off with something familiar and strong have a few deep cuts throw in some fan favorites and then end on the the thing everyone really wants..

Ya know what’s funny… if I was to picture a guy who would be into “an accurate recreation of what it’s like to be an aviator”… well you get the rest.

[@DanielZeal]

Dude, I thought that Indiana Jones scene had the most confounding editing and storyboarding, I'm glad to see someone else point that out. 😂

[@MeemBeen]

I bought this same shirt for the Missy Elliot concert.

[@zenithquasar9623]

I almost chocked at the last line!!!

[@pdraggy]

(after credits) on the Indy thing, pretty sure the scene is spliced up so it SEEMS like a complete movie scene. Video games are not made like that. Like I had assumed the box double thing was the same box... but I guess it's just a box double. Anyway I'm an editor, when you try to edit out the interactive portions sometimes it just looks like that. It do be like that sometimes. Just assume this is like 3 or 4 videogame cutscenes spliced into one entertaining movie. with like short qte's and negotiation segments (like in the bridge of the ship) in between. look up Adam Koralik's back to the future telltale movie and you get what I mean. It's not a movie, it's a videogame made to look like a movie :).

[@ChrisPBacon-xn9up]

Oh cool little insight, yeah besides these are just nitpicks not super detrimental if the final game doesn’t end up like this.

[@ConnerBobZ]

Why did that car horn get me so good?

[@YayWalterSullivan]

While watching the Indy trailer, I could definitely tell it was sloppy… but I dunno, it still kinda works for me.

[@justaguy2732]

Yeah its easy to criticise but it was broadly well received and I thought it looked great

[@Alex_Logan22]

Indy has always been unrealistic/silly so nailing the tone matters a lot more than the logistics.

[@LEGIT_ELITE]

Im intrigued by the glowing orb Kyle! It's me!

[@ivandimitrov7994]

that's because nobody actually cares about the lay offs. They were just a vehicle to drive the hate that was popular to have against xbox. If people cared that much about layoffs they wouldn't shit on xbox alone, Sony let go of proportianally similar amount of staff, including closing down studios and firing people they acquired, but instead all we heard are excuses. Because at the time Sony were the good guys and xbox were the bad guys. These past two weeks Sony had an underwhelming state of play and xbox had a banger showcase. And suddenly the mood shifted. Suddenly nobody cares about the lay offs.

I think I finally know how it is to one who is not into anime/JRPGs watchin a Nintendo Direct full of Japanese titles. I enjoy Doom, but I don't gush over it the same way as so many others do. I'll probably try Perfect Dark, but I don't get how others are so hyped for it after the trailer. It felt like an alright showcase overall and I'm so confused on why so many love it.
