I don’t like individuals who make excuses for corporations who fire the labour that was, is and will forever be directly responsible for their profits. A lack of growth does not mean that one should fire 1000 employees. Capitalists do not need growth, they simply chase it. And let’s be honest, the reason for the firings is because it increases shareholder value. Allows for those at the top to get a big fat pay check. So Peña, please consider these factors next time.
This is stupid. The companies long term health is the most imprtsnt thing because that means MORE jobs in the future. You can’t BOTH whine and pout when a company closes down and ALSO cry when a company sheds staff. Companies aren’t charities. If you don’t like companies? Fund development YOURSELF. Kickstarter did just this. You know why kickstarter failed? People whined about having to take on the burden of risk for themselves. What if it doesn’t come out?! What if it’s bad?! What if the money gets stolen?! “Yeah, dingus. Welcome to publisher risk.”
If your an “anti-capitalist” when why am I talking to you through multiple layers of capitalistic businesses services? Why aren’t you sending smoke signals from your ashram commune? Oh yeah… because your a hipster “anti-capitalist” who talks about anti capitalism while simultaneously living off the back of the very thing you claim to hate/
Batman takes place 6 months after the origins. It is being developed by Meta's internal studio, so Rocksteady has nothing to do with it and WB doesn't care how it sells.
I mean.. Rockstead isn't "Rocksteady" anymore. So Meta's internal staff may be just as close in proximity to the Rockstead that made Arkham Asylum as current Rocksteady is.
Not a fan of Peña’s halfhearted responses to some of the topics like the layoffs and the L&R questions. I get that talking for nearly 3 hrs can be mentally taxing, but he’s had his own podcast for a long time. He should be a veteran at this.
Wow Daniel Pena's backstory was cool to hear. I only heard about him when he was on ign unfortunately and he's been around this whole time. Also much love to everyone from another Dominican. 😅
Well, to be fair, we've seen game announcements that were mega early in the works that had zero platform logos. Elder Scrolls 6 announcement like 6 years ago didn't have any logos and that was before Xbox aquired Bethesda. And I don't think even at the time if Blade was going to be time exclusive or full multiplat, i don't think that woulda meant Xbox was going full blown multiplat with everything. Before ABK it was a little different. Yes, now it seems much more likely they'll be full multiplat or do some 6 month to a year time exclusive or something. But tbh I don't think anyone trully knows wtf is going on with Xbox, they themselves don't even know. For real, I don't think anyone even MS and Xbox know what they're doing
I think the only place to make the Indie on PS5 announcement was Gamescom. There's no point making that announcement at an Xbox event because Playstation players naturally won't be watching. Summer Game Fest wouldn't make sense because Xbox have their own event. And I think The Game Awards wouldn't be suitable because that takes more steam out of the Xbox brand than if it was at Gamescom, especially if Xbox was to win an award.
What, did they want us to cry and moan about games on Xbox going else where ?? For what, so we can literally cope online for fanboy entertainment? That's wild lol
First off, money. Secondly, it’s a 2 hour show so it’s not like they had a tight show and bumped silksong trailer to make room for a con man. He doesn’t deserve a 3rd or 4th chance but in a way having him presenting is a little funny and reminds us of the good old days of E3
Grow up. Moline is an industry legend who is responsible for a SIGNIFICANT chunk of gaming’s history. Tell me you’re a 21st century console kid without telling me you’re a 21st century console kid? You think Molyneux is Fable and Milo instead of Dungeon Keeper, Black and White, Syndicate, Magic Carpet, and Motherflippin POPULOUS. The guy is an utter legend. Not to mention there is no Media Molecule without Peter Molyneux..
I don’t go that far, but VR is certainly the future FOR ME. It ultimately comes down to what you think games are. If you think games exist to be interactive movies, which the majority of modern people think, of course VR makes nos sense and you can’t imagine gaming not on a screen. But if you think gaming is about actual GAMES then you can’t beat the control, immersion, and personalization of VR. Nothing else comes close.
What do you care? I've never really understood this kind of thing. You can't possibly be looking for buying advice. The thing has been reviewed hundreds of times. You can easily find it covered from every angle including watching the game itself on RUclips or Twitch. You also seem to already have an opinion on it. So what exactly are you looking for with this comment? EZA obviously doesn't have the bandwidth to review every single game that comes out. And so many games come out that no one site could. Not even the biggest.
@JazGalaxy this is stupid. Then why review anything then? Lol. They review games, some people want to hear THEIR perspective on a given review as some people trust certain voices more than others. Maybe I like Hubers perspective? Maybe I like Isla's perspective? And this is the one of the biggest, if not the biggest release this year, and a new IP at that; so it would be odd to leave this one out, but not others. Now you'll probably not respond because you realized that based on what I listed above, your comment was silly, and overly aggressive. But I'd LOVE to see you try and explain why appreciating different people's perspective is a foreign concept to you lol. Also I haven't played the game yet, so not sure where you got the idea I have an opinion on it. But I am interested in EZA perspective on it.
@@evantaylor1378 I kind of think this whole bit of dialogue would have been avoided had you not included the passive aggressive "For some wack reason" part. You seem to enjoy their content, their perspectives, but also seem to jump to the conclusion that there is an insidious reason for not covering the game. You also seem to have completely overlooked or dismissed Blood's response in your response to the other commenter. After the announcements at the beginning of the year about the new direction of EZA (part time, less reviews and the reviews that will be produced are more hand picked by those who want to take on the task), nothing they do or don't do should come as a surprise nine months down the road. And I'm saying this with all due love & respect.
@theredshadow401 well I responded to guy who literally asked why do we care about reviews from EZA lol so didn't need to address bloodworth. That was stupid. Also there is controversy over the game, and EZA has been known not to cover a game from a review standpoint if there is lol, like they did to hogwarts in line with Resetera. So I made sure to imply hopefully it isn't for some wack reason, purposely; without going too much into detail. Pretty sure they knew what I meant too. However I don't completely buy Bloods response especially with the " we have a preview" comment lol suggests that's all there is gonna be. But hey, whatever.
Isla's ad read having a backdrop of an EZA meet-up with Huber unleashing his L&R on the locals is the joy that i needed today.
Danny was a fantastic guest.
Death, Love and Robots is absolutely amazing btw, watch it if you haven´t. You can get the idea how will the Secret Level show feel and look.
I think it lost his Spark. To much CG Render by Blur, i love different styles but its got less and less.

I’m sure he’s devastated.

I’m also anti-capitalist so you’re not going to convince me. So please don’t bother.

I wanna see more Danny Pena on this podcast. He was a great guest

I haven't found anything on the length of the Secret Level episodes, but IMDB does list all 15 episodes releasing on Dec.10 of 2024
2:07:34 Looks chill and cozy. Reminds me of SSX3 snowboarding down all 3 peaks from top to bottom just listening to music

Honestly most hype game reveal of the show was Roadcraft...

Danny, the absolute legend!
I screamed at the Luca Blight quote. Ben would've gotten it 😭
Im gonna be honest, I thought Trick2g was on the podcast lmaooo
I knew Xbox was going multi plat when they announced blade, when there was no Xbox logo or mention of Xbox.

You should have known Xbox was going “multi platform” when they said “we want to put our games on every platform”.
2:26:00 Swing and a miss!!
Don's unhinged final word XXD
Easy Allies, Your content is incredible, and you deserve more views. Collab?
I hear more about console wars from here than anywhere else.
Wasn’t Brandon Jones supposed to be at the desk this week?

Talking about Danny because he said he didn’t care about Indy going 3rd party?
🤷🏻

Really gross move by Geoff to let known scammer Peter Molyneux have a whole segment to advertise his bs game.
can you explain that please?
A couple of my favorite games were headed by Peter Molyneux, Black & White 1 and 2.
First off, money. Secondly, it’s a 2 hour show so it’s not like they had a tight show and bumped silksong trailer to make room for a con man. He doesn’t deserve a 3rd or 4th chance but in a way having him presenting is a little funny and reminds us of the good old days of E3
@@SOLIDSNAKES35easy enough to look up Peter’s controversies through a search engine I’d assume

So is easyallies not reviewing wukong? For some wack reason?
Huber was moving and then he was at gamescom. We did a preview back at SGF, and he's trying to put some time in for the next podcast. -Bloodworth
