Let's do this. Welcome everybody to another episode of the Game of Traffic show. I'm your host, mike Samson Chillin' with my co-host. Simply amazing what I'm doing today. Everybody get up for Mr Amazing. On today's Game of Traffic show, yo, we're going to talk about Square Enix and Ubisoft. Major changes happening and it might not be good, matter of fact. It won't be good, mr Amazing, what do you think about that? I totally agree with that we're also talking about PlayStation bringing something new to PC. Mr Amazing, what do you think about that?
Speaker 2:that's always good news, because I love what PlayStation has done so far with PC.
Speaker 1:Don't tell me why you have what we were talking about. Let's surprise, but we're getting to the show. We're about to start off with your old square Enos and Ubisoft making changes. Mr Amazing, I'll let you start off with Ubisoft, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so, according to Microaxis, Ubisoft Entertainment has a 30% probability of bankruptcy. Damn, yeah. So they had a huge financial loss ending well, financial loss ending in the spectrum of March of 2023, due to sharp decline in sales, and you know. As for those who don't know, ubisoft employs over 20,000 people, over 45 studios. The biggest one, probably, is what do you think? Ubisoft? Assassin's Creed, maybe?
Speaker 1:Probably, so Probably.
Speaker 2:Assassin's Creed? I don't have different.
Speaker 1:They have different ones. Yeah, they're making Assassin's Creed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they do.
Speaker 2:They got 45 studios.
Speaker 1:I think the studios that made Watch Dogs that's closing down.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I heard that as well too. So, that said, a lot of people say it's not just the sales. They feel like things. That contributed to the sharp decline was the head of gaming subscription when uh, what's his name was? Philip trembly stated that, um, gamers, well, this is early in the year. When he stated that gamers should feel comfortable not owning their games, which is the whole physical versus digital, uh, argument, you know. So that didn't sit well a lot of people, so people have to put that contribution to the.
Speaker 1:He ticked off people. He ticked off people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he absolutely ticked off people, you're right. And then also, what they feel so hurt Ubisoft, was that the shutdown of features that bring revenue to games. They were heading that route. So you know the live. What do we call it again?
Speaker 1:Live services.
Speaker 2:Live services. Yeah, so Ubisoft was going away from that, so that's also the reason that they feel like they've got into a hole. But you know, Mike man? That being said, what is Square Enix facing Square Enix?
Speaker 1:Yeah, Square Enix is the king man. He's the king. He's in for me. Square Enix reported in a recent financial performance which ended this year, march 31st 2024, their sales in digital entertainment segment, which included video games, rose by 2.6%.
Speaker 2:However.
Speaker 1:Mr Amazing. Their profits fell by 15.8%. Wow, this is a big cut, mr Amazing. Do we want to contribute to that? No, let me finish. Their new plan is shift from quantity to quality, mr Amazing, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2:I didn't even realize that, mr.
Speaker 1:Amazing. What do you mean? That never works?
Speaker 2:Quantity for quality, you said. I don't believe in that.
Speaker 1:I think it's the other way around. Well, that's the new shift from quality to quality. Oh, that I like. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:I thought, the other way around you said it.
Speaker 2:No, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:So basically, do you know how many games Ubisoft actually released in 2023?
Speaker 2:Ubisoft. I can't even think of one man is there like one I mean games that get released last year. So 2023 yes, four that's amazing.
Speaker 1:They released over 20 games. They did.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's quite 20 games. What was the hottest one, do you know?
Speaker 1:well, I'll go with 20 games. They released during 2023. Forspoken okay, I mean. That didn't do well, but it was a market for it. They released during 2023.
Speaker 2:Forspoken, okay, I mean that didn't do well, but it was a market for it.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no. I played the game. I beat the game. That game was half ass made.
Speaker 2:Excuse my language.
Speaker 1:It was like you watch the boss. Like this is something a freaking high school program would have made Some of the boss fight. It was ridiculously undercooked, should never have been sent out.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:The writing. Like I said, I mentioned in the show I didn't know they had another right for African American. It was just not a good game. But didn't they do better with the DLC? Mama got games in the DLC, okay, but the game was half-baked. Yeah, that's the worst. Did an open world game for no apparent reason overworld nothing? Wow, you've seen the same ai characters all written over. I like the storyline was corny I don't like when games do that.
Speaker 2:I mean open world is the same.
Speaker 1:We're doing the same features, same things over I mean, I find that um, I say what's the right word from that repetitive, yeah no, it was. That was no one, because it got a lot of marketing yeah no, it did man.
Speaker 2:I was hyped for that game.
Speaker 1:I was hyped for the game but no, the quality was horrible and I'm surprised that I prize sony and squaring is allowed that game to come out. Wow. Or saw this game? Hey, this is garbage. You know what it was. I think there was a hole at that time for like to Sony and Square Enix allowed that game to come out. Wow. Or saw this game? Hey, this is garbage.
Speaker 2:You know what it was. I think there was a hole at that time to fill. Is that why they dropped that game the time it dropped?
Speaker 1:I think they just had to let it out and remember they delayed it a couple times already. When people saw the gameplay in some of the trailers, they I would say the place is one game, but I would say that it was not a full cooked game that should have been sent out. Another game you might have heard of Power Wash.
Speaker 2:I definitely know what that is. It's washing your car. I know everybody would want to play that, maybe for a game like on the Switch or a movie. Maybe it'd be fun that route. But what the hell? I find that interesting for Life is Strange. I've heard of that.
Speaker 1:I didn't get the numbers for it, but I mean, life is Strange is a somewhat popular series yeah, I know that, I know yeah. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, which was put out on the, I believe, ps4 and Xbox One, which was made for the Switch. Okay, that was awesome Final Fantasy XVI Well that yeah. Playstation 5 exclusive. That was good. Ocean Star, the second story Okay Okay, dragon Quest.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's usually popular.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and also Little Ladies and many other games. Don't ask me what Little Ladies and many other games. Oh, don't ask me what Little Ladies is.
Speaker 2:It doesn't sound appropriate.
Speaker 1:It was a Final Fantasy, little Ladies. It doesn't sound appropriate, all right, it doesn't sound appropriate, but it's a real game, all right, mr Amazing. So we have. I mean, you guys you put all these games out, are paying to develop these games, yeah, and the games don't make what they should make or you target to make. It's going to be a problem. And also, part of the new plan is to focus on the PC market and go on multi-platform with their exclusives. Now, you know, sony had a lockdown of several exclusives with Square Enix, foamstar, which did not blow up.
Speaker 2:I knew that, I said that what do you call Foamstar?
Speaker 1:I saw the bite off a Splatoon man a rip off a Splatoon and didn't make the sale of a Splatoon when it came out and it was going against a lot of Helldivers too.
Speaker 3:Helldivers whooped their behind, I'm sure, who a lot of hell divers too Hell divers whooped their behind.
Speaker 2:I'm sure Whooped their behind.
Speaker 1:Whooped them. It was a blowout. It was a blowout. It's like watching a sports game and your team is down by 50 points in the first quarter.
Speaker 2:I don't have to say that Hell divers, but hell divers, it's an illegal term too.
Speaker 1:Yeah it's legal right now. It's Amazing Woo. Also. Square Enix president reported that he's going to also make layoffs in the US and Europe in a recent town hall meeting. That's the worst show According to Video Game Chronicles. That sucks, so not looking good.
Speaker 2:More layoffs in the gaming industry, mr Mason we talk about this every topic now, every show yeah, every show, so yo.
Speaker 1:So, mr Mason, what do you think about these two companies? Once heavy, I mean still heavy, still heavy hitters. But the heavy hitters are not bad. They ain't clean up, no more.
Speaker 2:I know, man, it sucks, because, you know, just four years ago we were talking about the video games on Touchable Big numbers and now we're talking about Leos, every week now.
Speaker 1:But a lot of people got the video game crazy at the time because of the pandemic.
Speaker 2:And we're all shut in home. So we decided to take the bypass time, so it made sense.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So people took that like, oh shoot, it's a bill game boom, which it was at that time but not realizing the circumstances that this is not going to last for long.
Speaker 2:You know what I like to see, just in general, but I know it's a hard thing to do. How are gaming numbers doing winter season for those parts of the world that do have that? Because people are indoor more, does that mean people are playing games more? But I mean kind of like with COVID, where people are indoor more. So like does it all correlate depending on the region you live in? I'm just curious.
Speaker 1:I remember years ago they didn't make major releases in the summertime. Now video games come out year round but Most of the hot major releases are meant to come in the holiday season. Yeah of course, because you can check it yourself. Yeah, so you know, in North America, Canada, certain places in Europe where winter is big time. Yeah, yeah, you saw some of the holidays, Christmas, whatever you celebrate during that time period, which makes sense, I think. Which made a lot of sense actually.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it was amazing, I mean like I said, you think it's a video game. Crash. I don't crash is the right word. I said that in private with other people, but I'm talking to you, Bob. What do you think I don't crash?
Speaker 2:is the right word. It's just that you have to get with the times, and what I mean by that is that the circumstances have now changed and shifted, where people are not playing as much games. So how do you get these audiences? Do you get them on the go by making better games that are going on your mobile. Do you make games shorter so you can beat them at a reasonable time and get a good kick out of it. It's just you have to adapt with the times. Now, what you're getting away with in 2020, you're not getting away with in 2024. So I think you just got to figure out how do you adapt with the times.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's hard to me, it's hard to tell. Remember, I think two things, and we just I discussed it in previous episodes the skyrocket budgeting for these games. That's crazy 300, I think over 300 to over $300 million to make Spider-Man 2? That's crazy.
Speaker 2:I never in my life thought I'd see that to be honest with you, crazy.
Speaker 1:A lot of these games cost more than it's like movie budgets? No, a lot of these games cost more than movie budgets. That's crazy. That is crazy.
Speaker 3:Some of them are like a movie.
Speaker 1:That Spider-Man is like a movie though. Yeah, but people being trained. I don't have to pay for games. I wait for coming game pass.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's that was, I feel, like, that kind of hurt business too, to be honest with you, and also the pricing of games.
Speaker 1:It's like you gotta games are now 70 bucks now you gotta pay.
Speaker 2:Do I really want to pay 70?
Speaker 3:dollars for this.
Speaker 2:I could just rip this for someone. I didn't say that, but you could, people doing that though, so I gotta say it actually.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, and then then do you own your games, but it's been digital. When they always pull it out, five years later you can't get this game, or two years later because a license agreement, they'll take it off.
Speaker 2:That's right. That's why I like physical copies.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying so a lot is going.
Speaker 2:That's like I said. I don't know the gaming crash, but I think it's a gaming adjustment. Yeah, absolutely yeah. I think I think we'll figure it out. Though, all right, games ain't going nowhere. Put it that way games ain't going nowhere, but whoo the prices, get ready to pay a hundred dollars what we do with deluxe editions, that's how to get us. Oh yeah, well, we just threw a poster in there. For you, five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1:Remember they used to have. We have a deluxe edition. We call the elite edition. What do they call it now? They used to have a statue and now they don't have statues. I know We'll give you a digital comic book, a book.
Speaker 2:I know when I got my Street Fighter V I had the big Ryu. That was dope. I thought that was nice when the Drakes, the collector, the Nanes Where's?
Speaker 1:it go. I'm going to go with Uncharted when this came out.
Speaker 2:The Dusk Editions were nice. On those too actually.
Speaker 1:Because I have bought Tekken previously. I got the statue. I think I paid $120, $130 for it. I'm into Tekken, yeah, so I got it.
Speaker 2:The Deluxe Edition. Okay, that's worth it, though I'm like this thing is huge.
Speaker 1:I can't complain about that. Even Gears of War, they had a statue of the big Deluxe Edition.
Speaker 2:I never got that. I remember that. I do remember that, though.
Speaker 1:I did get the Deluxe Edition of Titanfall.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, titanfall it came with a big statue.
Speaker 1:I have it downstairs.
Speaker 2:I remember that. I remember that I still have it downstairs, still got that. Still in good shape, still in good shape.
Speaker 1:You know how King was up to date, son. Yeah, all right, let's go to our next topic, mr Amazing, playstation is bringing what to, mr Amazing? Tell the people.
Speaker 2:They are bringing their achievement trophies to PC, you, their achievement trophies to PC. You know I'm a trophy junkie, so I like stuff like that. For your little background with me is that it's how I play a game Like right now. Mike and I both play Horizon Ronin and I was ahead of him. He went a little bit ahead of me and I went and go look, I'm like damn, I got like 10 more trophies than him now. So just to get back to the main topic, is that I'm a trophy junkie, I'm into all that stuff.
Speaker 1:Yes, he is. One night he had us look at all the trophies in the games we had similar to like achievements Like oh, I'm better than this. Oh, mike, you got this much Stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I'm big on it and Ghost of Tsushima.
Speaker 1:The Director's Cup will be the first game to feature a trophy. Coming out this week With perfect timing May 16th and also according to the PlayStation broadcast, the only way to access this is you press shift and F1.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, because it's. It's not like embedded in it, you have to, it's like an overlay feature.
Speaker 1:I guess. Oh, that's cool, it is an overlay feature, mr Mason. Yeah.
Speaker 2:But you know what sucks is that? Are they going to retro? You know, for those other Sony games that came out, hell, no. You know things like Forgotten War Hell, no. What else came out?
Speaker 1:Horizon.
Speaker 2:Mr Mason, you can barely if you ask for a quest, I know, but I'm a kind of cool for those who beat it you can't get themes on the PlayStation 5. But I feel like that's a two second update. Though you beat the game, they're not doing that. Mr Amazing. They should Let people get their credit for those games that they beat.
Speaker 1:You have PlayStation 5. I have PlayStation 5. Can you do themes on it? No me, do now what you not to do. So not happening, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2:Not happening, that's true, I mean you're right. I mean thanks for suggesting it won't happen but something that they did say is that the DualSense will be able to be used on it, but I think with like some kind of support, you can use DualSense on a PC though, but not directly. You need some kind of like an ext just do such on a PC though, but not directly. You need some kind of like an extender or something.
Speaker 1:What is that? I thought you could plug it in.
Speaker 2:I think you still need some kind of support from numbers. We can look into that, because maybe I'm wrong. I think you can plug it in.
Speaker 1:I don't think it's wireless to do sense.
Speaker 2:Okay, maybe that's so you do. That you're not for nothing, man. Sony has dropped some gems on the PC, man, they really have. If you think about it, I think their top 5 games whatever in the last 10 years has been dropped. Did the Spider-Man come on the PC? I don't remember did the Spider-Man come on the?
Speaker 1:PC, then isn't Spider-Man on Steam?
Speaker 2:it is, yeah, it is. So here you go. So PC players have all received, I think, all of Sony's top five games, I would say, in the last 10 years the Sackboy Adventures is on there yeah.
Speaker 1:I believe Ratchet and Clank. The last one was on there as well. I mean I mean let's keep it. Let's keep it 100. This is Sony. Well, I mean let's keep it 100. This is only pushing the initiative that yo, we need to put more stuff on PC. I don't know if they're going to do it day-to-day with the PlayStation console, at least if we're on these.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, they'll never do that oh hell.
Speaker 1:no, I think they should start thinking about that. Why?
Speaker 2:The numbers are still strong.
Speaker 1:But I don't think it's going to wait like two years after Usually two, three years. I don't think it's going to wait. Golden Shield came out what 2002? That came out like 2021. Yeah, those are director's cut. That's the one I had.
Speaker 2:That's a very good one actually, but you're right, that's almost three to four years later, even though Six months to a year, yes. I think that's good Not bad because you can still eat off of the sales because a lot of people didn't get it yet. I guess you might be right.
Speaker 1:And even then you could do a director's cut for the PlayStation or, you know, add a DLC, blah, blah, blah. So you could do that. It might be right. Actually, at first. I'm sorry. You do want to create great games, entertain people, but people got mortgages to pay, so you know what I'm saying. People got tuition to pay. You know what I'm saying. So basically you want to make more, max out the profit.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and I always use that analogy on the show was the same time, like when Apple's exclusive to AT&T and then when it was like hell with this, we're going to everybody. They built even more.
Speaker 1:AT&T stock probably. Stock probably fell after that Probably.
Speaker 2:Apple's like hell. We're getting our heads on everybody our carriers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, alright, mr Mason, anything else you want to say about that topic? No, I'm good, mr Mason, let's talk about Helldivers 2, baby, what are?
Speaker 2:they doing? What are they not doing? I should say, of course IGN.
Speaker 1:Helldivers 2 has sold over 12 million copies in the first 12 weeks of sale, making the place the fastest selling game of all time, mr Amazing, wow, mr Amazing. This actually surpassed God of War Ragnarok, which hit 11 million copies in 75 days After launching across the PS4 and PlayStation 5 in November 2022, mr Amazing. Okay, okay. What do you think about that, mr Amazing? That's amazing. And this also the launch across the PS4 and PlayStation 5 in November 2022, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, what do you think about?
Speaker 1:that, mr, amazing, that's amazing, and this also proved my point with the PC day to day. Oh yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2:You're right. Imagine God of.
Speaker 1:War right now came out with Brownie's coming.
Speaker 2:We got a podcast coming on.
Speaker 1:He must join in.
Speaker 2:He gotta put his two cents in Two cents in.
Speaker 1:So basically, magic God of War Ragnar came out with PC. How much sales it would have done More than more than you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the numbers would be inflated.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, most definitely so. It was on PS4 and PlayStation was more over 100. Yeah, but PC got more players yeah, pc got you know what I'm saying. Pc's massive audience, yeah, but the PlayStation 4 has over 100 million PlayStation 4's out in the wild. Yeah, yeah. So over 100 million PlayStation 4, that's over 100 million PlayStation 4 out in the wild players yeah, so, and plus you got the PS5, who has? So almost 50 million. Yeah, give or take. Yeah, 50 million. I think it's almost close to crossing 60 million.
Speaker 2:Oh, they're right there. That's a good feature for your console.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, mr Mason, what do?
Speaker 2:you think about that impressive? I don't deny that at all. Actually that's dope. I mean this probably puts hell diaphras probably in the game of the year. I mean they couldn't make that run. I mean the numbers should back it up.
Speaker 1:I know you're further thinking about it, but that's all we can give you. No, we can't. There's more good news for Helldivers. Go ahead. Playstation is now requiring Helldiver 2 players to link their Steam account to PlayStation Network. Nice, some kind of cross-play thing going here. This happened because the backlash to Community Express, mr May.
Speaker 2:Well, yes to the first Power to the people, Power to the people. Wow, the one time in a few, you know times that the people's voice has been actually heard and respected, oh, yeah, but like I said, it was getting negative reviews because of that. Oh okay, so they reacted. So that's good, people won. They heard us.
Speaker 1:That's how I like to hear it, and you know the developers also still feel so at our head game studios saying, yo, this can't be happening, son, you know. So anything else you want to say about this, mr Mason? No, I'm good, cool, mr Mason. Yes, sir.
Speaker 2:Let's go talk. Trail of the Week.
Speaker 1:What do we got going this week? Trail of the.
Speaker 2:Week Is the movie called.
Speaker 3:Trap, trap.
Speaker 2:Did I see that I did the trailer? Let's find out.
Speaker 1:Let's check it out, mr Mason.
Speaker 2:Is it another horror movie? Uh?
Speaker 3:Suspense Cooper. Jamie, what's with all the police trucks outside and cameras everywhere? Jamie, I'm not supposed to tell Something happening. Don't rat me out, I won't. You need a butcher, a freaking nut job that goes around just chopping people up, or the feds or whatever heard that he's gonna be here today, so they set up a trap for her. This whole concert it's a trap. They're watching all the exits, checking everyone that leaves. There's no way to get out of here. I see them. I'm sorry, really, what was that? Your daughter's never going to forget this day. It's kind of dope, right.
Speaker 1:The movie Trap star Josh Hartnett. Mr Amazing, what do you think about this? A serial killer who's at a concert with his daughter and for some reason, they know he's going to be there. I don't know how they found that out. How did he go? You have all these police there, so how the heck? I don't know.
Speaker 2:It's different. I guess it's not your typical horror suspense kind of movie, because they're a step ahead of the killer. Usually the killer's a step ahead of them.
Speaker 1:I don't know. They're a step ahead of the killer.
Speaker 2:Usually the killer's a step ahead of them.
Speaker 1:I don't know they're a step ahead of him.
Speaker 2:I mean, they're there for him, so you're a step ahead of him.
Speaker 1:He didn't know that they're there for him.
Speaker 2:They don't know who he is. They don't know, but they have a lead, so they're ahead of him. Usually the killer's a step ahead of the police officer. I think they's what makes it so so how are you going to catch him? Well, they're waiting for him to act.
Speaker 1:So if I know he's there, we're not going to act.
Speaker 2:Look, for example, mike, you know, right, they know the killer is going to be in that building. You're a killer, mike, right? We know who you are, but we know you're there Now. We're monitoring the whole place, waiting for you to a place. I think that's what it is.
Speaker 1:I like to see something stupid, especially. You know the people there and you have the daughter. How the hell are you? What are you?
Speaker 2:doing. Hey, that's where you went to the bathroom, probably going to catch a fresh kill, who knows?
Speaker 1:Oh, my God, I don't know. So, Mr Mays, the bottom line is you green like this? I think it has potential. I'm going to red light this.
Speaker 2:You're going to red light it. Really, you have no interest.
Speaker 1:I have no idea what the hell is going on. It makes no sense.
Speaker 2:It did seem confusing and I was leaning towards that, but something about it told me that I might like it.
Speaker 1:All right, mr Amazing, we split on this, we split decision. All right, let's go to Our should we care? Top of the week, mr Amazing, the PlayStation portal Is back at. Stop Nice At Amazon, walmart, yo, best buy, mr Amazing, should we care A lot, a little or not at all?
Speaker 2:I don't think I care, because I've yet.
Speaker 3:And then when I say I don't care, it's not because I think it's bad.
Speaker 2:I think I care because I've yet. And then when I say I don't care, it's not because I think it's bad. I think it's a wonderful system. I'm a game guy. I play with it for like five minutes. Put it back. But the reason I don't care is that I've yet to see anybody in the streets with one yet. But then again, you can't go far with it, right Can?
Speaker 1:you? Oh no, you can, it's back in stock now. It's back in stock, we'll see. I mean, I'm sure it's going to be sold out again. What about you? I'm not a big fan of it, so I don't care.
