Terrible title, great video. Tons more detail on how the game was rebuilt Likely a response to public sentiment that the project is just a cash grab Replaced all pre-rendered cutscenes with in-engine scenes, which also has the side effect of making the in-game characters have higher fidelity Higher density of physics objects in a scene than ever before. More “bumpables” and “chipables”. Referenced the tank scene in Pittsburgh in particular. Completely new AI tech, using AI developed for part II. Included cool screenshots revealing what the AI is doing in the video. Enemy and friendly NPCs have a much richer understanding of the environment. Enemy “communicating, flanking, and tracking” are among the enhanced features. Friendly NPCs have an understanding of present and future exposure to enemy sight, which makes their evasiveness much more intelligent. Also accompanied by some cool dev-kit screenshots showing enemy awareness and AI decision-making. “Motion Matching” - new tech that matches in-game-actor intended movement to a large library of motion-capture-actor assets to make game-actor animation more realistic than ever before. Quoted new features: Additional gameplay modifiers, additional render modes, evolved photo mode, permadeath mode, speedrun mode, more unlockable outfits, model viewer mode, award-winning accessibility features (including being the first playstation game with full audio-description tracks for all cinematics). “Completely revamped art direction” - all new, more detailed environments 3D audio and adaptive triggers add a lot to the stealth combat experience Hear enemies moving in hyper-realistic space Unique adaptive trigger, haptic, and controller-speaker sound profiles for every weapon New part 2 like weapon upgrade table, complete with new animations and haptics New haptics for all player actions as they traverse the world, climbing, landing, petting the soft giraffe…

Summary Dan opens the episode strongly with a surprising amount to say about Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, which reminds Tony of a recent rumor that Naughty Dog is working on a fantasy-style game. Then the Pixel Boys quickly devolve into classics such as Elder Scrolls 6, Horizon Forbidden West, and realism in games. The qualities of good competitive play and the effects of money on game design are discussed, leading to a bit of news about Wizards of the Coast purchasing D&D Beyond. The PBs are challenged by media with slow starts, and this leads to an attempt to nail down our game preferences. They wrap with a brief life update from Dan. Recorded on April 18th, 2022.

The expectations for my next work would be really high, so high that I knew that no matter what I did, I felt like people would be underwhelmed. If you played "UNDERTALE," I don't think I can make anything that makes you feel "that way" again. However, it's possible I can make something else. It's just something simple but maybe you'll like it. 0:30:34 Realism in games Horizon Forbidden West awesome facial animations The Last of Us Part II awesome facial animations Some more TLOU II examples Years before, L.A.

Tony and Dan are still playing Horizon Forbidden West, and we all watched some movies and talked about them (including The Batman & Free Guy). Also Hades, Steam Deck, the Kirby & the Forgotten Lands demo, Elden Ring (from afar), the Overwatch 2 beta, Super Mario World, and Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. Recorded March 12, 2022.
