On the week of September 22nd, the games industry was blessed with not one, but two showcases! Today, the Dukes dive into both the State Of Play and Xbox's Tokyo Game Show 2024 presentation. With the State Of Play, much was announced for the Xbox platform! As for Tokyo Game Show, Xbox is showing that developers of all sizes are looking to support the "challenger brand." While the presentation was absent of any major reveals, games such as Threads Of Time or the long desired Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster did get us excited! Beyond the minor showcases, we also dive into the latest for Assassin's Creed Shadows where the writing is on the wall here with Ubisoft. It's clearly a do-or-die situation for them and based on their recent statement to investors, this game absolutely must perform. Will the delay help and how deep do Ubisoft's issues run? We get into just that plus a new Yakuza game, Xbox's 25th anniversary, Metaphor Re:Fantazio's demo, and much more!Timestamps:00:00:00 - Introduction

Xbox launching early to avoid Playstation, to only go up against Nintendo with a handheld is definitely a strategy...

Not going to lie: I was a little disappointed by Cog's underwhelming response to Ghost of Yotei during the ILP reaction. Glad he was given a chance to talk about it again after a few days of marinating on it. It looks so dope.

40 million? My guy, the switch has almost passed the ps2 in sales. It’s hovering in the 140 million plus range. Also, you are disgusted by the horizon remaster? That’s a bit hyperbolic. It’s a 10$ upgrade that probably only a small fraction of Guerrilla worked on.

Bryan Lozano

Damn Matty really hates the remasters. Dude just let the people who never played the game before buy it and enjoy it with upgraded graphics and performance. If you’re a fan of the game like I was with tlou 2 then just get the 10$ upgrade. And if you don’t want pay the 10$ you’re still allowed to play your original copy with backwards compatibility.

I'm surprised you all were lukewarm about the TGS, I don't play ff or any of the jrpgs, but I thought that volume of jrpgs and similar coming over was strong. Especially when so many people seem to pine for them adding more Japanese focused content. Wonder if we're getting our expectations spoiled my leaks/similar because you come away not surprised.

Congrats on the wedding Matty. Been watching you for like a decade man, cool to see the journey.

‘Grats on the marriage good sir! Such a special thing. Just rang in my 3 anniversary with my own darling. Good podcast this week, Dukes!

To Matty talking inFAMOUS, I appreciated the franchise but was only able to play the 1st (lengthy), never played the 2nd (Sony PLEASE, don’t make PS3 streaming forever 🙇‍♂️) I played Second Son to Platinum, as well as the 1st Sly. I wanna just take a moment to appreciate the approachable Platinum. Both Sly and Second Son were sweet because they required devotion but the mission statement was clear.

All the best to Cog. Hope he'll make some progress on the health insurance / doctor front 🙏🏼

As far as I understand, the H:ZD remake was to be in line with the Netflix series coming but that got pushed back indefinitely after the scandal. I wasn’t on board with the ZD remake until they actually showed it off. It looks great. FW looked much better than ZD and now they’re both on the same visual level. For a $10 upgrade, I ain’t mad at it. But, I replayed ZD all the way through including the DLC before FW so I have no intention of ever playing it again. Didn’t even think of the AC Black History Month connection. That is something. 😅 Avowed delaying and adding 60 frames at launch would be a nice way to curve a delay. I like Metaphor but I can already tell I don’t love it like the Persona series. The setting, music, and characters don’t vibe with me. #DDTGS

This is my favourite episode of DD thus far because they mostly discussed PlayStation 😂

Trill Spencer

Cog, you need to give Andreja ammo

Eric the Human

I also don't like that Playstation is wasting time remastering Horizon Zero Dawn, but to call it "disgusting" is a bit of an overreaction. Just don't buy it. That being said, congrats on getting married!!! It's about damn time.

ByWatterson

You were asked how the show is going to evolve, and you responded by attacking the audience - again.

Devin K

Congrats Matty!

Mr. Scott If You're Nasty

"People gotta learn how to respectfully disagree" -Lord Cognito. Yes. Full stop. ##DDTGS

I’m a week behind on LSM content. I want to congratulate Matty on his holy matrimony. Marriage is a beautiful thing. I wish you and your new wife the absolute best. Much love being sent your way. God bless brother.

The Great Santini

Jin Sakai was cool but not a supremely deep/intriguing character. I’m totally satisfied by the amount of time I spent with him in the base game + DLC.
