Let's do this. Welcome everybody to another episode of the Game of Traffic show. I'm your host, mike Sampson, telling my co-hosts it's my mix-up by foot today. Oh yo, mr Macy, we're back, son, we're back.
Speaker 2:We took a hiatus, but we finally made it back.
Speaker 1:We took a hiatus. Mr Macy's not ready.
Speaker 2:Oh, he's not ready, yo he never yo yo.
Speaker 1:Why can't you do this for yo yo? Gabriel Traversham. What's going on? Man, we gotta do this. We can't have the people not be informed. You know what I'm saying. So we're back people.
Speaker 1:I know we're going to catch you guys up with everything, Some of the stuff you probably know, some of the stuff you probably didn't know. But, Mr Amazing, in this show we're going to talk about yo fighting news, Mr Amazing, regarding Street Fighter 6 and also regarding the City of Wolves. Mr Amazing, I mean you're big fighting game fans, Though lately our fighting skills have eroded because you're playing a lot of Madden. So you know what I'm saying. But we got Spark and Zero. Probably after a couple more hours investing in it, we'll talk about it, but right, now.
Speaker 2:No, we can talk about Undisputed also Undisputed. You know what I'm saying. So we can talk about Undisputed also eventually.
Speaker 1:Undisputed. You know what I'm saying. So we also talk about yo it'll be the show 25 going to Game Pass. We're also going to talk about PlayStation, ghost of Tsushima, the new one, and Horizon Zero Dawn going to another platform.
Speaker 2:Oh, I didn't know about that one actually.
Speaker 1:Well, horizon Adventures, not Horizon Zero Dawn, going to another platform. You know about it, mr Maze. Don't plead ignorance to the people. But, mr Maze, let's begin the show Talking about PlayStation Pro. Mr Maze, I actually went online to test it out, you know what I'm saying. Mr Maze, that got me one.
Speaker 2:Oh, you were going to find one, or did you actually purchase one pre-order one? No, I didn't do that. I didn't buy it.
Speaker 1:I didn't do that. No, no, I couldn't have. I was like, no, I don't need it right now. And I told you most likely like next year, Bob, not right now, no, not a rush to get one. The anniversary of this, as you know, was sold out in minutes, minutes that I believe.
Speaker 2:I believe that, because that's worth it, that's the one I would get off to get. If I'm going to go, I'm going to go big.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but Mr Mason, I beat you again. The price wars. You said yo $1,200 or $1,100? Yeah, remember, you said yo $1,200 or $1,100? Yeah, and I said $1,100.
Speaker 2:It was $99, $100. It was basically $1,000 for it For the PlayStation Pro Adversary Edition. Yes, okay, okay. Well, I think we both settled on that price point.
Speaker 1:It was a little higher. I was at $1,100.
Speaker 2:All right, you won it for the dollar.
Speaker 1:You damn skippy. Mr Amazing. You know what I'm saying. If you win by a field goal, you win. By a field goal, you still get the win. You win by a two-point, you get the win, so it doesn't matter. But, Mr Amazing, a lot of people have a difficult time getting this console, but it's still on pre-orders at Amazon, Best Buy, also at GameStop. Guess what, Mr Mazin? Currently the PS5 Pro is the no-one son console on Amazon in the US and other countries.
Speaker 1:I saw that, despite Mr Mazin having no stand, despite having no disk drive.
Speaker 2:I know, but despite all that, it's still available a lot of places. Actually, it is the number one selling pre-order thing on Amazon at the moment, but you can find it pretty much anywhere actually. So it's not as popular as we think, and we all pretty much think it's because of the hefty price point of $700.
Speaker 1:But Mr Mays is popular enough to be the number one selling console on Amazon in the US and other territories.
Speaker 2:That is true, but when you're popular popular, I'm talking about you. You're, I don't know the top dog of something. I can't pre-order you. I can still go to a Walmart or a Best Buy and get this.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:When it comes out, yeah, it's a top seller, don't get me wrong. It's a top seller, so the number's going to prove that. Hey, it's going to put up numbers. Excuse me, I'm trying to say, but my thing is, it's not going to be like that.
Speaker 1:That's a different time era with the pandemic. Let me ask you a question. Yeah, what will sell more in November? Xbox Series X or the PS5 Pro? What's going to have more sales?
Speaker 2:The PS5. I think it's going to be the PS5 Pro, even despite that hefty price point, because Xbox you know Xbox, it needs a game to go with it. If you told me, I mean you got Indiana Jones, but it doesn't push back, so I can't even be like Indiana Jones, in November it's going to push the sales. I can't even say that I need a game to go with the Xbox or the PS5 Pro is going to sell off the hardware. Something is going to sell. I thought you got the PS5 Special Edition coming out with it too.
Speaker 1:So that's the hardware, it's sold out, right. You just can't walk in Walmart to get that, so that's not happening.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, that is already sold out. Yeah, I know the system.
Speaker 1:the controllers, everything is sold out. The portable one is sold out, the PS portableable.
Speaker 2:You have a portable too.
Speaker 1:Yes, kid, wow. And also the Portable me, and you always diss it, but the Portable is one of the top selling gaming peripherals, oh, wow.
Speaker 2:No, I don't think it was bad when I touched it, when I looked at it anything was too bad actually.
Speaker 1:You touched it.
Speaker 2:Initially at the GameStop I went to. Initially we thought that it was going to be a wax system, but then when I got up and close with it, I was like this could make some noise. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:As I thought yeah, so it's like I said. I'm constantly dissing. I think we put on a stupid shit copy. We both don't really care. It's not something I like. I said I'm not a big handheld person so it's not for me, so, but it's a impressive piece of hardware. But uh, sony will most likely go further on. This could be like a test run this system to further on, going for a more advanced handheld well, I could see that, or we might see a part 2 could be part 2, but, mr Mazin, can you have anything else to say about this?
Speaker 2:no, but I look forward to it and I just wish I was able to get me a Playstation 1 special edition pro.
Speaker 1:That would have been nice we're going to get a 4k tv 2024. Mr Mazin has no 4K TV.
Speaker 2:Oh, she embarrassed. I'm not walking by 1080. I'm not telling you, he's doing the job.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right. All right, Keep believing that, keep convincing yourself of that. But, mr Basin, just to continue on with the PS5 Pro, according to Sean Hollister, it's been getting pretty great reviews and he went there in person and he has some really interesting thing to say and he stated in his article on the Verge I bet, if you okay, let me see what it says oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, if you're the kind of person who already set your PS5 games in quality, fidelity or graphics mode rather than performance, I bet you will see a large increase in smoothness with the PS5 Pro, no matter how far away you are sitting.
Speaker 1:Some went from utterly choppy to downright buttery for me on the PS5 Pro. So, saying, some of the games that might be sloppy, choppy, looks smooth. So, while going all the technicalities of the additional games, which was called F1-4, gran Turismo, final, fast Rebirth Basically all those games will get PS5 Pro enhancement. So your games will look either buttony, smooth and also the frame rates will make it look like damn. How can I live without a PS5 Pro? Mr Amazing, so he had quite a like I ooh, woo, damn. How can I live without a?
Speaker 2:PS5 Pro Mr Amazing. So he had quite a.
Speaker 1:like I said, mr House had quite a few great comments to say about it.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, so it's not promising.
Speaker 1:It's not promising, but though the sticker price is $700, people complained about it, and even Digital finally said it's worth what the price is.
Speaker 2:I don't disagree with that because I mean, how much cheaper can they make it? I mean, even the original system, go ahead, finish, oh, okay. No, let me say, even the original system was being sued at a lesser price than it should have been announced to us. So they were at a loss when they were selling it. So you know, this system was going to be a little bit of a more of an uptake and I'm okay with the $700. Yeah, I hate to say it, I really hate to say it, but I'm actually okay with it. I think you know it's for those who can have it. And then the good thing about it is, when you trade If I'm not mistaken, you're getting like from rumors rumors I'm going to say rumors are you get almost $300 for your current gens. So you just pretty much come out of pocket for $400 for those with the current gens.
Speaker 1:That's not that bad of a deal Because, like I said, even the Final Fantasy Rebirth is playing excellent on the PS5 Pro. That's good man.
Speaker 2:So it sounds like it's going to come up and a lot of the current-gen games are going to be enhanced through it. So that's good. That day one you can do that. I mean, you'll notice it. So it's definitely good. And I'll never forget when you had the PS4 Pro and you threw it against the She-Man, I was like yo, this game looks like another world. I still love looking at your team when I was playing it. It makes a difference.
Speaker 2:You know when the Spider-Man came out on the PS Pro. You saw how the image and graphically beautiful it was.
Speaker 1:It's worth it man, I got the Spider-Man PS Pro console.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I remember that that's what I was saying. I remember watching you play that I was like, wow, this game is crazy. And that was on the PS4, so I can just imagine the PS5. So it's worth it, man. For those who don't have it, those who want to trade it in, I say go for it, man, as long as you're not going out of budget for it. You know, spend wisely. I say go for it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know you're not giving up your rent money.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, mr Amazing, let's go to fighting news. Oh, okay, kent will arrive, guess what, in 2025. Guess what? What game, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2:I already know this one actually City of Woe.
Speaker 1:And who will be his tag team partner coming for Street Fighter.
Speaker 2:Chun-Li, so you got a combination of Chun-Li and Ken. We sort of ride into the wall because we've got guys from that series too. Terry Bogard is in Street Fighter 6 at the moment, so maybe, like some kind of contract or something, was written that they're going to do a trade-off.
Speaker 1:Which I have no issues with that.
Speaker 2:And Chung Li is coming in the winter of next year.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, so she's not a day one character no, I'm not a day one character Ken's coming out in summer and Chung Li is coming out that fall and winter.
Speaker 2:Oh okay, so about a year from now we'll see Chung Li. Yeah, the game comes out in March. When will it come out?
Speaker 1:In March, I think in March we're in.
Speaker 2:March or April. Okay, okay, okay, that's going to be a hot game.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying. So, mr Mason, what other fighting news you could discuss with the peoples?
Speaker 2:Another fighting news. I I mean it's not playable character, but it's three fighting six. They revealed the Dark Stalker fighting pass DLC, so pretty much this is in line with the Halloween theme and the same thing they did with the Ninja Turtle one. It's gonna run through. It's gonna be available October 22nd. You can purchase it, I think. It's like about $5 or $250 $5 yeah, so you purchase it.
Speaker 2:I think it's like about $5 or $250. $5. Yeah, so you get like gears and stuff like that. So those who want to keep up the spookiness of Halloween and have a dog stalker fighting theme, it's all for it. Please, don't think you can use the dog stalker characters. It's not that it's more of a theme, they just want to have the Ninja Turtles on there. So I just want to put that out there because I don't want people thinking, oh man, it's a new character. No, it's not. But ask my wife you guys have a week or so left before it's pulled off from the store.
Speaker 1:Oh, shoot, so get it while you can. Absolutely. That's all I mean. Anything else you want to say about this topic, mr Mason?
Speaker 2:Well, I mean this was a brush over amazing. Well, I mean, this was a brush over. You threw that in there. I'm not going to get it. I'm going to see it from the head, but I'm not going to get this stuff. I think it's cool, though I got nothing against it.
Speaker 1:Alright cool.
Speaker 2:What Are you getting?
Speaker 1:it. No, oh, I still didn't get Terry Bogard.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I got him. I haven't played with him yet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I got, gotta get Terry Bogart. I gotta get Mortal Kombat DLC oh, okay, okay. I think it's a little pricey. I think it's a little pricey. It was a $10 cheaper, but I'll see if it's a sale on next month looks fair so, Mr Amazing, guess what's coming to Game Pass?
Speaker 1:it is LNB the. Show the latest game from guess what from PlayStation. It's going to Game Pass. Show the latest game from guess what From PlayStation. It's going to Game Pass. I thought we'd never seen this, Mr Amazing, A PlayStation-produced game on Game Pass. Mr Amazing what the is going on.
Speaker 2:Well, Sony, you know it's about the money. It's like yo come along, Give us a nice little deal, We'll have your game on our Game Pass. It's overdue. We see the crossovers, we see games like.
Speaker 1:God of.
Speaker 2:War on Xbox. Now you see Days Gone. What were you saying?
Speaker 1:God of War.
Speaker 2:Not God of War. My bad, I meant to say Days Gone. No, god of War was on PC. Excuse me, my bad. I'm going to say Dave Garn. Well, no, garn was on PC. Excuse me, my bad, that was on PC.
Speaker 1:I got confused. The only reason that we call MLB show is on different platforms because basically baseball said so.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, that's why, well, you need the licensing. So if MLB says this is what we want, guess what? This is what. That's what they're going to get.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's why.
Speaker 2:That's also. This is for licensing purposes. That's that's what we want. If it was for that, I don't see what I'm, I don't know what I'm saying. If it was for that, they MLB show game was on PlayStation Network, so that's where I got mine at. Okay, you guys are sweet.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Don't be a hater, I'm not a hater. Is your guy still hitting 100 home runs but can't make the majors? Yo, I was mad as hell.
Speaker 1:I made 80 home runs. I was still in the minor leagues in that game.
Speaker 2:I was so mad last year I was like what the fuck?
Speaker 1:Shoot, I ain't buying this one this year.
Speaker 2:I feel you.
Speaker 1:So, mr Mays, anything else you wanted to say about this? No, that's all Alright, dan, let's go to the next topic. Next topic, mr Mays. Let's discuss the latest entry in the Ghost of Tsushima Saga versus a new title, a new character, mr Mazin, dive into it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so at the state of play in September, saga Punch announced their anticipated game. The final Ghost of Tsushima is going to be Ghost of Yoti, which is releasing in 2025. But looks like this game takes place in 1603, which is roughly about 300 years, I think, when Ghost of Tsushima took place, and it looks like the main character is going to be a female. From what we know, it is a female.
Speaker 1:It's going to be a female. It's a female, it's going to be a female.
Speaker 2:Sometimes now, these games are like a creep. It's a female.
Speaker 1:It's a female.
Speaker 2:I don't know if it's what they did. A lot hasn't been revealed yet but from what we see, it's a female.
Speaker 1:It's a female, mr Amazing. They don't say it's a female.
Speaker 2:They're not going to change it. It's a female Mr.
Speaker 1:Amazing they don't say it's a female.
Speaker 2:They're not going to change it. It's a female.
Speaker 1:They didn't do it in the previous game.
Speaker 2:No, did they do it in the previous game? I don't think they did. No, they didn't, mr Amazing.
Speaker 1:It's a female character. It's not rising and rolling.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm getting confused with. If you're going to rise and roll, no.
Speaker 2:They just want me to get confused with, but the graphic, beautiful Southern Punch always knows how to do man Like the way the wind is blowing in that, the grass and everything. It's graphical, it's amazing. But there wasn't much gameplay to go by though, so we'll have to wait sometime next year, early next year, to see more about this game, but I was super hyped. Finally, because it's been about four years since the release of the Guns of Shima, so it's been a follow-up. It should be about five years, most likely, when it releases. It's new to the air. What about you, michael? Are you excited about this game?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm pumped up about the game, but the only thing that really concerns me is the female character, and you know how people are now these days. They get offended that a female character is in the game who doesn't look like a stripper oh, that's true too. People always got something to say why are they changing their character from a male character to now a female character 300 years later? Shoot, for all we know that could be one of their ancestors.
Speaker 2:We don't know, could be go ahead it could be one of Jin's. Like people don't get it, go ahead. No, it could be one of Jin's descendants. We don't know.
Speaker 1:No, and it's like come on, stop it. People like to put aside games for no apparent reason and not necessary. And same thing with Assassin's Creed, the Undelayed. Why are this black samurai? Because it's not authentic. This is freaking Assassin of Creed, where you go to a damn time machine. Stop the nonsense.
Speaker 2:I do it too, but it's a video game it ain't supposed to all be real no, it don't stop it.
Speaker 1:It doesn't have to be authentic, it's part fantasy it has some reality to it.
Speaker 2:Stop it if you're doing like a war game or you know.
Speaker 1:It was a documentary. Yes, we're doing a documentary. It's something different.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was a video game.
Speaker 1:Exactly Stop it with the nonsense.
Speaker 2:Let the imagination run loose.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, mr Maze, anything else you want to say about this? So this is a must buy for you.
Speaker 2:Oh heck.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's day one you know what I'm saying, why you don't agree? Yeah, I totally agree.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, all right, cool, so we shall see 2025,. Everything can't be here.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, don't rush time, baby, don't rush time. Wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, since 2025, it's been so, you know, so far in between, is Grand Theft Auto still coming out in 2025, or is it 2026? I can't remember anymore.
Speaker 1:Post the alleged 2025.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay. Well, 2025 is a good year. Okay, all right.
Speaker 1:And also another game that you want to talk about. The Horizon Lego game, which is Horizon Venture, will be released on November 11th of this year for PS5, ps Switch and PC, and also Epic Game.
Speaker 2:Store it's cute. I mean it's not for me, I'm not into Lego games, but it's. It's cute, it's gonna. It's gonna sell. Put it that way, it's gonna sell. I don't know. You think it's cute.
Speaker 1:It's going to sell. Put it that way it's going to sell. I don't know if it's going to sell, I just want to see the sales on the Switch.
Speaker 2:Of course it's Lego. I want to see the sales on the Switch.
Speaker 1:That's why I want to see the sales on the Switch.
Speaker 2:It's Lego.
Speaker 1:The Lego game is hot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I agree with that, but it's Horizon and that's a very popular title.
Speaker 1:And it's legal. Do you think Horizon is not more popular than Drake?
Speaker 2:I think it's there, I think it's there.
Speaker 1:I don't think so. I think you need to get ahead of Zayn.
Speaker 2:Go by the numbers. If you go by the numbers, I bet you Horizon got more sales.
Speaker 1:I can't. We don't have the sales. That was ahead of us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and we can come back with it. We can come back with it on the next episode, but you can't compare it because there were one.
Speaker 1:There was four games Exactly For Drake, so you can't compare the buying sales.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but Horizon if you count the VR and all that other stuff and the thing.
Speaker 1:That's about four games too. That's a game party that sells over a million copies.
Speaker 2:I agree because not that many people have a VR unit, so I agree.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it still has the cell numbers, but I think Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2:No, I was going to say, I think if you put the best numbers of the top-selling, whatever Drake collection the top whatever Drake, you know Drake's name collection the top selling game versus Horizon. Horizon blows it out, blows it out.
Speaker 1:I don't think so.
Speaker 2:I will have that number for you, I don't think so.
Speaker 1:I don't think so. And also they're supposed to have an online game, live service game. I think they're doing this franchise a disservice.
Speaker 2:They're doing this franchise a disservice they're stretching out? No, no, you know how they do it.
Speaker 1:Michael, get that money. They're stretching out. No VR game, lego game now live service game.
Speaker 2:They're stretching it out too much. No, that's the nature of the business. Man, Get that money.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's how you bury a franchise. We see what happened to Tomb Raider years ago and even we wear. Halo now yeah, our kids wear Master Chief like they used to they don't, they don't and also the TV show got cancelled damn. You know what I'm saying hopefully the Halo will make a comeback. It's been around for years, I hope so, anyways, let's go back to the topic. It's coming out November 11th. Will I be getting it? No, I don't like the Lego games so I'm not getting it.
Speaker 2:I'm not a big Lego person too. I think the last thing that would get my fit was when you had that Batman one-eating with Tyler. Yeah, I have to play.
Speaker 1:What the freaking garbage is this?
Speaker 2:I thought that game was hard.
Speaker 1:but that was just me, I thought the game was just stupidness, just to go cut across. I got to make a, make it a. I couldn't take that game. I'm sorry, I'm with you.
Speaker 2:I couldn't take that. Game Well, game, well, we'll see. Man, I anticipate it. There's a game that I'm anticipating that still hasn't come out yet, but that's just me.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I know what you're talking about PlayStation All-Stars.
Speaker 2:Part 2. Well, that's what you're anticipating. I'm anticipating the two. What's it called? Oh my God, the two of us are getting to work together. What's it called again, take 2? What's it called again, take two? Was it called again? We're going to make another one. Yeah, a follow-up to it. I think that needs to be made a part two.
Speaker 1:I anticipated the guy didn't announce it. They ain't going to make a part two. I hope so. He's probably making a game with the same mechanics, but he's not going to make a part two to the game.
Speaker 2:You're right.
Speaker 1:You're right, alright, mr Amazing let's go to our trailer of the week. It's Cross, mr Amazing. It's on Prime. Yes, cross, the character that Tyler Perry played, the detective cop did Mr Mason do that?
Speaker 2:yes, it's on Prime. I won't be watching it. I saw the trailer. Oh yeah, what did you miss the rest of that? Yes, it's on prime. Oh guess I won't be watching it yo, I saw the trailer.
Speaker 1:It seems to be good oh, well, alright so let's check out the trailer. 1, 2, 3. Let's do it. Alright, I don't kill for fun. You're going to be part of a masterpiece and when I'm done, the world will know.

Speaker 1:Let's see how long you last, but you can call me detective alex cross they found him dead in his car apparent overdose.
Speaker 2:I didn't make it true suicide. They got killed to cover up what happened. I think he was murdered. Whoever killed him had to change him into someone else first.
Speaker 1:This girl's messing. All two poor victims are connected to this.
Speaker 2:And you know this happened. It's doing its thing. This is where it all started. Have you always been this good? You're not in my head. Oh well, I'm definitely living rent-free. Eh, you know, you got kids, a boy and a girl. You raised a good man. It's just been so much. I lost my wife a little over a year ago. Alex, I want to be here for you. You're not managed very well. It gets weirder.
Speaker 1:He's not gonna stop unless I make him stop. It was in my house. He's never gonna give up. I'm gonna call him, I'm gonna call him. I'm gonna call him, I'm gonna call him. You think you can stop him? I know I can.
Speaker 2:Because I know him better than he knows himself.
Speaker 1:So, mr Amazing Cross, mr Amazing, what do you think of that trailer? Break it down, tell the people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I mean, it's based on a Tyler Perry movie, right, If I'm not mistaken. What is?
Speaker 1:it based on a book. On the book, I should say that part of me Was it a book at first and Tyler Perry adapted to the movie.
Speaker 2:That's my understanding. Yes, that's exactly the same thing that I had. You know you're a detective, you know you go from there pretty much. I mean basically, I mean Go ahead.
Speaker 1:I saw the movie. The movie was garbage, but this looks more compelling. What movie was?
Speaker 2:that? Huh, I was going to ask you that it was in the movie, but it was garbage.
Speaker 1:It was not garbage, but this looks more intriguing. Plus, it's a TV series, so you're able to, let's just say, explain the plot, explain why the character's doing this. You get more details of the story and of his character. So, more than you get in a, let's say, hour 20-minute movie. So a little more depth, so I think it looks interesting. Most definitely, you know saying as we say at the end of the review of a trailer mr amazing, do you green light it, yellow light it or red light this trailer?
Speaker 2:I'm gonna go green. Actually, I like what I saw so far I'm gonna rely too.
Speaker 1:Definitely interesting. I wanted. I wanted to go see it. But some of the things we reviewed we get green lights this year, some of them embalming please, please, name one damn it did we give a green light to Joker?
Speaker 2:I don't know. I don't remember giving a green light to Joker.
Speaker 1:I don't think we reviewed the trailer for Joker. I had no interest.
Speaker 2:We did, we did, we did. I remember us doing that yeah.
Speaker 1:I didn't care for it, did I?
Speaker 2:say I liked it. I don't remember saying I liked it.
Speaker 1:I just didn't care for it.
Speaker 2:Like I said, I didn't like the first one.
Speaker 1:I didn't like the theater. I wanted to get a theater, but the girl's wit was like she wanted to watch the rest. I was like, oh Jesus, please help me, please help me. The first one I saw Lack of interest in seeing that, but also Transformers. That was a big surprise.
Speaker 2:We liked that one.
Speaker 1:But it didn't do as well as we thought it would do and I don't know because the Transformer brand has been destroyed by Michael Bay movies and the recent Beast War movie was hot garbage that I actually freaking pulled. I didn't even go to the movie theater to go see it. I actually pressed the button for $24 to get that downloaded the movie. I'm never going to watch again for $24 to get that downloaded the movie. I'm never going to watch again.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to upset myself. No, but let's say the Transformers movie. The sales are not there, but it's a very good movie from what I understand.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the views are good, but the sales weren't there. It's had made over, I think, 58. Globally, no, 58, what do you call? Not to US? It made over 50,000, over 50 million, sorry. And worldwide, what is it? Internationally made 58? Okay, that's not shabby. 58 million, so over hundred million. It made so 75 million. So I doubt that it hit the one 30, 130 million mark. Probably four weeks It'll be on the digital platform.
Speaker 1:Okay, I want to go see with the way I want to go see with me, so I never got a chance to go see it in the movie theaters and the way the movie company is distributed. Now, after what 45 days, they put it on digital.
Speaker 2:They want to get that other money.
Speaker 1:I think I watched the Quiet Place. I watched it on Prime. Oh, I hope I didn't pay money for that. The Quiet Place I watched it on Prime. Oh, I hope I didn't pay money for that last one. It was not a bad movie, but I hope I didn't pay for it.
Speaker 2:Hope not, hope not Get your prime work, man.
Speaker 1:Shoot Check my bill. Oh shit, shoot Pay my bill. Yeah, shoot, nice. But, mr Mason, so I guess you green light as well. We both green light in the show and we'll see Hello.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm here, you hear me now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I heard you. You didn't say anything, Mr Mason, Sorry man, I had a.
Speaker 2:No, sorry man, I had a little technical difficulties there just now Technical difficulties, yeah, man. I don't know it went in and out. Sorry guys, usually we're in the studio together, but you know?
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're in the studio right now, so we're having technical difficulties at the studio. Well, Mr well, mr Amazing, let's go to our next topic. It's our Shibukia topic. Mr Amazing and Mr Amazing, our Shibukia topic of the week is the following Mr Amazing, maybe you can break it down to people Nintendo finally gave the people what they want a new hardware ooh, I actually like this yes, mr Amazing, it's not the Nintendo Switch 2. It is what Mr Mason.
Speaker 2:It is. Nintendo's new hardware is on lower class and when you sent me this I was like what is this crap that he's sending me? But then I watched the video. I was like yo, this is kind of dope. So it's a new on lower class. But it's not just typical alarm clock. When it makes it into a typical alarm clock, it's number one.
Speaker 2:Break it down? Mr Mason, Absolutely. You get to choose from five different Nintendo characters. You can have Super Mario, Odyssey, Pikmin number four, Splatoon 3, Ring Fit Adventures or Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wildfire. So you have those five options to pick for your long flight.
Speaker 1:Okay, mr Mason. Last question Mm-hmm, yes, do you think Donkey Kong should be included in that list?
Speaker 2:He, absolutely should have been included. That would have been a great one actually.
Speaker 1:I would have picked a Ring Fit.
Speaker 2:Adventure yeah, I would have picked a Ring Fit Adventure and put Donkey Kong in the opposite. So you get to pick from those five and the alarm clock comes with sounds and music from the game and later on, a wife. By network you can download every dsc so you can download and include in there. So that makes it pretty cool. But what makes this alarm clock unique from any other alarm clock that you used used to? It has a built-in motion sensor to track your sleep, which is very dope. It reacts to body movement, with sound, for example. So let's say you're in your bed and all of a sudden it goes off. You don't get up, it keeps ringing and ringing. It gets a very annoying pitch to wake you up and it's going to stop ringing when you get up because it can control your motion.
Speaker 1:It makes you get up and actually get up and stop the alarm clock.
Speaker 2:Yep, exactly. And then the alarm clock. Let's see. Like I mentioned, you can update through the internet connection and it records your sleep history. So if you're going to sleep, that's all going to be recorded so you know how much sleep you had, and so on. So this was amazing to me and the price to me is fair. It has a lot of features, it's selling for a reasonable price, in my opinion, of $99.99. And at first I was going to count this thing until I saw the video and I read about it selling for a reasonable price, in my opinion, of $99.99. And at first I was going to count this thing until I saw the video and I read about it, and now I actually want one.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to lie to you. I want a Legend of Zelda one.
Speaker 2:So, Mike, what about you, man? What's your take on it? Do you want one? You don't care for it.
Speaker 1:She's not going to give my wings for my bet. You better give me that one.
Speaker 2:Damn it.
Speaker 1:We're the best. Away from my wings. I want my wings.
Speaker 2:Mr Amazing, I don't care.
Speaker 1:I'll skip the Hooters. Give me the Buffalo Wild Wings Damn it.
Speaker 2:Oh, I forgot to mention something too, so I just said $9.99. But you can only get this in two places. You can get it online in the Nintendo Store, or you can get it in person only at the New York Nintendo Store. And, of course and guess where we live people? New York City. Yeah, I was actually thinking about going there. If you're going up, man, I'm going to buy one.
Speaker 1:I'm going to buy one. It's going to be annoying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm going to get one. Do it's going to be annoying? Yeah, I'm going to get one. Do you know which character you want, though? Huh, do you know which character you're going to get when you get yours? Oh, kratos. Ah, you went to Kratos.
Speaker 1:I'll probably get the Mario brother.
Speaker 2:Okay, you know me, I'm a Zelda character, so I'm going to get the link.
Speaker 1:Okay, Dispect Donkey Kong. You know what?
Speaker 2:I'm saying Could it disrespect Donkey Kong?
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying, donkey Kong should have been on there, donkey Kong, you'd expect you put Splatoon's been around for what? 10 years?
Speaker 2:baby.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you could put out Rick's adventure. What else is there? The pink characters on there.
Speaker 2:Pikmin. Yeah, Pikmin's on there Splatoon and Rick's on there Pikmin. I know.
Speaker 1:Come on man.
Speaker 2:Pikmin, pikmin. Yeah, pikmin has been a name for a stuff we can read for the adventure. I'm like come on really absolutely not absolutely not I'm outraged by that.
Speaker 1:I'm with you on that alright, mr Amazing, let's go to our Gangster and Wankster of the Week, mr Amazing ooh, okay. Gangster and Wankster of the Week as well. Mr Amazing myself, mr Amazing. That happened two weeks ago. I think it was one of the few games. Mr Amazing was with my ass and madden guess what happened?
Speaker 2:we couldn't get online cause what ah, the Sony servers went down. They were down for a few hours, man, several hours, several hours, yeah, man. So unfortunately for games like multiplayer, games that need to update and so on, you were not able to play it because the play PlayStation was down. So we wanted to play Madden. We couldn't play. There was other games we couldn't play. I forgot what they were, but Any multiplayer game you couldn't play. Anyway, I played multiplayer games. There were a lot of digital games you couldn't play.
Speaker 1:So, basically, you were screwed, and this is why it's good to have physical media.
Speaker 2:Yep yep, you know I'm a sucker for that and I think you and I got tied into that now, because now he's buying hard disk games. When you're on digital he's actually buying hard disk games. Now he's like I like hard disk now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think the thing with people. It's good if you got guys like kids. Take your kids to a retro game convention. Let them know the game history. I'm not saying everybody should buy 50,000 games, you know what I'm saying. But if you have like a collection of your favorite system, whatever 20 games, 30 games, your favorite games, it's great to have them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I agree with that, that's very true.
Speaker 1:Actually, with the Capcom what do you call it? Capcom Fighting Series 2. I'm going to buy that physically, because it's all digitally, but I'll buy it physically. I'll get it for the Xbox and I'll get it for the PlayStation.
Speaker 2:I agree with you on that. Actually, I'm going to buy physical copies and remember when the next one come out next year.
Speaker 1:they're going to have Power Stone and other games that I couldn't really get, or if I was to purchase that game separately, it will cost you 200 bucks a piece for the next iteration of the Capcom Friday game collection.
Speaker 2:So yeah, remember the one with Power Stone 1 and 2?
Speaker 1:A couple other games that came up off the top of my head that people really wanted to play but couldn't play or had to pay a high amount for that game. So definitely you know what I'm saying. But, mr Amazing, yes, sir, what's Sony get? Sony's the Wankster of the Week Of the Week. I agree, yeah, mr Amazing, we're going to end the show with the shout out of the week. Mr Amazing, can you tell the people who it is or who she is? I don't know. Man, put me on, I'll put you on. Mr Amazing, a surgeon in Switzerland completed surgery losing. Mr Amazing, a video game controller. Can you guess which one? Mr Amazing, a video game controller. Can you guess which one, mr Amazing?
Speaker 2:I'm going to guess either a Wii, because they're loose, or a PlayStation Move, because they're loose as well, am I right?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yes, you're right, mr Amazing. Which one? It was? A PlayStation Move, mr Amazing. Oh nice, you know what I'm saying. Yes, playstation Move, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2:Oh nice, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Yes, according to reports, he done this procedure, which is an endoscopy procedure, not a human being, though it was on a pig, mr Amazing, oh a pig really. Yeah, the pig was located in Hong Kong, which is over 5,000 miles away for the surgeon to do it. He did an excellent job. The pig came out successful. No lag, Mr Mason. No lag.
Speaker 2:Wait, wait, wait, hold on. So he's in Switzerland. The pig was in Hong Kong, yes. So how did he perform the move? I don't get it. Was it robotic?
Speaker 1:No, Mr Mason. Okay, the surgery was performed utilizing a robotic surgical system that can be controlled remotely, which was connected directly to WebSock protocol for real-time data transfer.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's interesting.
Speaker 1:I guess that's kind of cool, because yeah, go ahead. The surgeon did everything while watching a video feed, losing the PlayStation Move to control the Roblox action while maintaining no latency, mr Majin.
Speaker 2:Wow, that's impressive. That's pretty cool. I mean, like you can look at it this way where your doctor is not around or whatever it is, I mean I'm not ready to say this because there's no humans yet, but like where a major surgeon or there's a lack of surgeon, or when war or you know, unfortunately war. But like you know, this technology can help people in other countries where there's lack of doctors and stuff. They can do procedures, you know, from anywhere. So this is a technology I think we'll keep our eye open on because this can actually reach out to people across the country.
Speaker 1:I mean most of the most important thing, it was using a PlayStation Move Control, which is very surprising. I believe I read an article where somebody was either a DualSense or Xbox controller from some type of surgery, but I don't remember the arc on top of my head. But, mr Mason, that's the shout out of the week. But, mr Mason, any other shout outs you want to give out? No, that's it, man. How about the New York Mets? Man Yo, give them a shout out. They tried their best.
Speaker 2:No, you know what? They came up short, Mr Mets.
Speaker 1:They came up short.
Speaker 2:They came on short, but I don't look at it like that, because we weren't even supposed to be there, man, and we made it there. They gave us a great year, you know, had us all hyped to the OMG. We had our own theme song and you don't put all those guys there, man.
Speaker 1:Almost went to the New York Met, almost went to the World Series. But yo shout out to the New York Yankees to go to the World Series versus the Dodgers son, let them finish it, let them finish it.
Speaker 2:But another shout-out, this one we both got to agree on. It's a shout-out to the New York Liberty man. Oh yeah, they won the big dance man. After 28 years, one of the first teams in the league, they finally broke that curse and they won it. Man and ladies and gentlemen, guess what? I'll be there because it's right in front of my job. I will be at the parade.
Speaker 1:This is why Game of Traffic can't get stuff done. Mr Maze, he's out there in parades.
