But the reason why we're bringing it up is because um Walmart and I guess they're doing this for good publicity and good on them. They're they're basically giving you the thing for free because they're issuing out a $520 gift card for those of you who are affected. So, I'm just giving y'all a little heads up for those of you who guys are Nintendo guys. I know some of y'all are still subscribed to the channel, even though we have a secondary channel for that specifically that we're going to kick things into high gear once I rearrange the office and get everything off the ground. Plus, we have the secondary rig here for all those shenanigans. Um, but once everything gets sorted out and stuff, I promise you guys will hold it down. But, um, I just wanted to update y'all, let y'all boys know. check your emails if your pre-order got cancelled through Walmart because Walmart and Target apparently are not selling them until the 5th because apparently they took way too much pre-orders from my understanding. So updating the Nintendo boys, you know what it is. Still got to squeeze something for y'all every once in a while. So there's that. I'm pretty sure some of you guys already know. Um, and um, also too, we're going to talk about the performance aspect of Phantom Blade Zero on the uh, PlayStation 5 and I believe also PlayStation 5 Pro. So, we do have some updates there um, for you guys as well. So, buckle up, put on your seat belts, guys. We got some news to cover for you guys today. Do me a favor at any point during the show if you have any super questions and you can't wait until the Q&A. Feel free to support by tagging me at Marlin Gaming Nation during the Q&A or super chat. Check out my man Goku as well. All optional, by the way. And uh thank you guys, man, for the support. Let's Let's do it. Thank you'all for the support, man. Let's go. [applause] All right, [applause] so let's talk about it right now because yo, we got some new game play that dropped for GTA 6 and I was like, wait a minute, new gameplay, but knowing Rockstar now, they are just freely willy-nilly just dropping things left and right now. You know, we got screenshots, we got new gameplay details, we got NPCs, weather effects, map size, all this stuff going on. But interestingly enough, we had this new game play that just came out of nowhere. Now, the crazy part about this new game play, this was on a episode of South Park, and I was like, "Wait a minute, hold on, South Park." I'm like, but you see genius marketing on Rockstar's behalf. Genius marketing. [applause] Genius marketing, you know. And so I was saying to myself, I was like, "What?" I'm like, "This is I'm like, yo, I'm like I'm like, this is freaking crazy." So when I when I cuz when I took a look at the um the article and everything, I was like, "Wait, are you serious?" I'm like, "Soft park?" But I like I like when they do that kind of stuff. I like when they take their time to you know um you know try to market the game as much as they possibly can, trying to push you know a little bit more and things of that nature. And not like they need to because everybody who wants to play GTA 6 is going to play this game. Everybody who basically know about GTA 6 knows about it and want to play it. But any little bit of game play that we can get, we're going to take it. But the interesting part about this is which I am just I I I can't I can't bro. So apparently there is a a a a 23 second game play, right, where apparently it seems like Jason is walking on the beach and you have a dog take a poop and everything and you can pick up the poop and throw it. Like what? like I'm not understanding. But um let let's take a look at the game play. I I I I don't know. I I just I I I can't I I I can't I don't know what's going on with that. Um so that it's just like for me, I thought about it. I said, "Wait a minute. We're throwing dog poop now? I I'm done. I quit." So, you're telling me, and I know some of y'all laughing right now. I see them wife teeths. I see them. So, you're telling me, and then some of y'all probably waiting to hear what I had to say about this. You're telling me Rockstar thought about every single thing. I mean, according to Rob Nelson, they even made it to where they took out some some stuff out of the game because there was one point where you can actually go buy groceries. I mean, you could still do it, but they kind of took out the more in-depth detail on buying groceries, like going to the store and picking up individual items and stuff like that and whatever the case may be. That's just how, and this is why I get so hype and excited. No other company, think about what I'm saying, no other game, no other company is doing those kind of things, thinking outside the box. You know, you have a massive openw world game like Grand Theft Auto 6, right? And those are the realistic kind of details. You go into the corner store, you know what I'm saying? What do you What do you do when you go in the corner store? You get some chips. You get some candy. You know what I mean? Whatever you you might you might get what I don't know. Whatever you drink, you know what I mean? Some some some um Sprite or Coke or Coca-Cola, whatever the case may be. I don't know. You know what I'm saying? Some beef, jerky, whatever the heck you eat. You know what I mean? Or you go to the supermarket and you go pick up individual food items. That's what we do in real life, right? We go pick up rice. Some of y'all are vegetarians. You know, some of y'all I don't know what y'all eat and drink, but we go pick up individual stuff. Being able to have that level of detail and realism in a video game and an open world sandbox game like GTA 6 is unbel you you drink you drink Sprite. Some of y'all probably drink Sprite. I I I mean I don't know. Some of y'all drink Sprite. Don't worry, Paul. We're going to talk about it. Buckle up. Put on your seat belts. I got you, boys. All right. We got a surprise stream for y'all today. So, buckle in and put on your seat belts. So, let's go ahead and let's take a look at this game play. Okay, now I I I can't believe it. I I just I just can't believe him. So, let you guys know how we do things. Let's break this down. I'm just let me start off by saying this looks absolutely incredible. Let me just say let me just say it right now. [applause] Let me just say it right now. [applause] The game looks absolutely in insane when you sit down and look and you think about it. Now I see something says push R1. So this is on PS5. Push R1 to eat. So whatever Jason is holding, I guess he's eating, right? You can see all the NPCs on the beach. How are they able to render this much NPCs on the beach, bro? On a PS5. You know, this is a PS5. Look at I know this footage is heavily compressed, so you can't really get to see the textures and the detail and stuff, but look how many NPCs can you see right now. I mean, that's a lot of people. That's a lot of NPCs walking around doing their thing. There's the guy stooping down um with the dog picking up the dog poop and everything. All right. And we're going to progress a little bit there. Just look at just look at the level of realism. Just just just look. He already got the dog poop in the bag. He's walking with the dog. All right, which is a good sign because that's what you're supposed to do when you're walking your dog and stuff. Your dog poops and stuff. You're supposed to pick it up. So cleansess is godliness. Look at everybody on the beach front and everything like that. Now, as we progress a little bit more, there goes a dog taking a poop. Obviously, Jason is right there eating something. I think that's Lucia right there on the left with him. All right. And uh there's the dog. Dog takes a dump and he goes and picks up the dog poop and everything and then turns around. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Turns around. Jason said, "You know what? Screw it." He turns around, [snorts] throws whatever that is in his hand to hit the guy in front of him with the dog poop. Right. Bam. Hits the Look how, bro. Look how his body just lunged forward after getting hit in the back with whatever the heck that was. I'm guessing it was a It says eat. So, um I guess whatever he was eating a sandwich or something, whatever. Hit the guy. He lost almost lost balance and everything and um dude is like, "All right, you want to play, Jason? You want to play? Okay, bro. Look at this. Look at look at the look at just look at look at how the NPCs are reacting. This chick was down there with her man or whatever the the case may be. She got up. She's looking because she's like, "Wait a minute. This dude over here with the dog poop in his hand. It's like, "Yo, you really want to play with me? Do you know me? You You know me like that, bro." All right. And here we go. Look at this chick right here. She's st she's she turns around. She Okay. You got my attention. You got my attention. Dude standing up looking at Jason like, "You want some of Debo? You want some of this? You want some of Debo?" And um he's talking. Jason picks up the dog poo. He picks it up. [laughter] He The dude the dude is actually looking down on like, "Bro, you really picking up the dog poo?" Like really? You really picking up the dog poo? Like for real? And the dog is like already, you see how the dog is on high alert and stuff like that. Dude is looking at Jason like, "Dude, really? You really going to pick up the dog poo?" like, "Okay, all right. All right. Come on. You can't face me like a man. Is this what you want to do?" Hey, it dude, the game looks absolutely incredible. I Man, I have to give it to Rockstar, dude. I have to I have to give it to them. I just don't know. [applause] I just don't know. I just don't know how this game is going to run. I think this is the biggest thing now, the biggest secret right now. We know according to Rob Nelson that this game is going to be locked at 30 frames per second with the hopes of a performance mode cuz he said that they were still working on the idea of a performance mode. The when he interjected that gives me a little bit of hope because if anybody can do it is Rockstar Games with a massive open world game. They're masters at this, you know what I mean? So, I don't know. I don't know. But dude, dude is looking down on Jason right now, right? Bam. Oh, [screaming] and there there it is across the face. There it is. Oh my god. There. And so Jason is like, "Look, we can tussle now." Across the freaking face. across the face. Just look just just look at that. So disrespectful on so many levels. Just hit this man in the face. So disrespectful. You know what I mean? Jason got knuckles up, everything ready to go, bro. That's all we got. That's all we got. >> [applause] >> Wow. Wow. [applause] That is crazy. That is That is just goes to show you that they thought of every single amount of detail. You know what I'm saying? Every amounts of detail that they can cram into this game. But I'm hearing some people are saying, he said, "Will you stream Phantom Blade Zero?" No, I don't have access to it on the Pro. I will be doing it on PS5. I mean, I'm sorry, on Steam. Um, I don't have access to it on PS. That's what I really want, but we don't have access to that. Um, but back to the conversation in hand. Um, so like I said, this is just I'm just I can only imagine if you can pick up dog poop and throw it at someone in this game. I can only imagine the other things that you're going to be able to do. You know what I'm saying? In this game. So, there's that. We're going to talk about the screenshots and everything else um after we get to the next topic. Okay. Now, I know I know this is one that you guys were waiting on me to talk about. You were waiting on me to talk about. Guys, guys, guys, guys, we got to talk. We got to talk. We got to talk. We got to talk. We got to talk. We We have to talk. We have some more GTA 6 stuff to talk about, but that can wait. We just had to get the gameplay out of the way. But we got to talk about Xbox right now. Okay. Because this is not good. Okay. If bro, listen, you know, I appreciate Asha Sharma. I really do. Ever since she got in, she's been changing things up for the better, getting the getting the train back on track and trying to push forward as much as possible. But there's there's there's always such a stained legacy when it comes to Xbox. After the Xbox 360 generation, Xbox just can't seem to get it together. can't seem to get back on track. Now, Sir's um reports basically is showing that PS5 is selling extremely well around this time in the generation. PS5 is matching what PS4 is doing. So, PS5 is fine, which everybody knows that already. Sony is always selling more, right? ever since the 360 generation, right? And hence why Heroki Koki came out and said, "Oh yeah, we don't have to force ourselves to sell PS5s. We don't have to, you know, sit here and make people buy PS5s." We don't have to. We don't have to push people to buy PS5s. PS5 sell on their own. Regardless about all the negativity around Sony's name, it doesn't matter. I mean, come on. The biggest thing, the biggest elephant in the room, the biggest hole in the freaking Titanic ship is obviously Sony taking away physical games and people just does not care. Look at the whole um thing. No disc, no buy. You see how that died out? Sony knew it was going to die out. Yeah. Are there still people out there advocating for no this, no buy? You know what I mean? No disc, no buy, whatever. Yes, there are people out here. If you don't want, if you're not giving me a physical game, I'm not buying your game. There are people out there that are like that. Rightfully so, but there's not enough, like I've been telling you guys, there's just not enough people that, you know, is advocating for that and really putting their words behind their actions and not supporting PlayStation. Sony don't have this problem. Now, Asha Sharma, in case if you guys don't already know, I'm pretty sure you guys already, some of you guys keep your ears glued to the ground in terms of gaming news and stuff. Well, Xbox had their latest revenue figures and it does not look good. Um, Gears of War, I can't believe this. I can't believe this. Gears of War, the cost to make, we we heard it was 400 million at one point. Now we're hearing it's 500 million. And Jason Shrier, obviously, you know, Jason Shrier is very reliable, but we still haven't heard. And Microsoft, they've been hiding numbers since the Xbox One generation. Microsoft likes to not report on official numbers. That's just the way they are. Every other company, Sony reports on official numbers, Nintendo does, other companies does, but Microsoft, ever since the Xbox One generation, no, we don't talk about numbers. So, who knows? But according to Jason Shrier, this game cost five I need y'all to sit down and listen to me right now. This game cost $500 million to make and only sold $400,000 copies across PC and Xbox. Sit down wherever you are. That is horrible. That even Matt Pascatella um over there at Cir Circon, he said the same thing. He said he's like, "Bro, this is the worst. Xbox just can't catch a break." He said he wish that there were numbers, good good things that he can report on in terms of numbers and revenue. Everything is down for Xbox right now. Gears did not move the needle according to these numbers. Gears did not do much of anything for for Microsoft. And it's so freaking sad. It's so sad. Where's all those people at that said, "Oh, gears this and gears that." 400,000 copy. Hello. I'm a need for these people to chime in now. Where are those people at? 400,000 copies, dude. For a five. Yeah. Yeah. Expect I need y'all to start talking now. Where are those people at now? There's no defending this. This game has a physical copy. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm all about, you know, supporting Microsoft and this and that. Some of y'all didn't even get Game Pass to even play the game, let alone even buying the game cuz some of us hate Xbox with a passion so much. We didn't even bother wasting time. 400,000 copies is laughable. This is a joke. 400,000 copies. That's it. That's it. What a shame. Four. Let me show y'all. Y'all think this is a joke. The Verge and Shinobi 602 is reporting Gears of War eBay has sold more than 400,000 copies across Xbox and PC. What? What? That's it? Wow. I'm sick to my stomach. Wow. Wow. Dude, this is arguably Microsoft's best game to date in terms of quality in terms of just the overall game itself. Yes. Like 400,000 copies. 400,000 copies. That's it. Oh my god. What a Man, I'm so sad right now, dude. I am so sad. That's it. And I here I am thinking people were gonna buy the game. They were going to support the Xbox movement in terms of Microsoft trying to stay in the space. How is Microsoft going to stay in the space now? You know what I'm saying? How is Microsoft going to keep on doing exclusives and people are not buying them? No, no, no. Let's have a serious discussion right now because everything is always PlayStation this, PlayStation that, PlayStation this, PlayStation that. So, how is Microsoft How is Microsoft going to stay with the Xbox brand in competition with Sony now and y'all not buying the games? Wow, dude. This is So, Gears flopped basically according to these numbers. If these numbers are legit, this is horrible. This is probably the worst I've seen for a major AAA game in a long time. Down to Barbie Dolls Big Adventure sold more than this. 400,000 copies. Wow, dude. This is the worst. I can't believe what I'm seeing. I can't believe it. I couldn't wait to come home and talk about this. 400,000 copies. So, you know what that means? If this is true, that means the coalition. That means the coalition is probably in danger. Because in case if you guys don't already know, in case if you guys don't already know, Dan Greenwald, I remember him. Look at this. Look at this. When I say Xbox is in trouble, I mean, I I mean it. When I say Xbox is in trouble, I'm sorry, guys. When I say Xbox is in trouble, I mean it. Look at this. Dan Greenwalt, right? I remember him. Turn 10 Studios after this man is the pardon. Turn studios. After 27 years, after 27 years, this man is leaving. reminder of the studio. Uh, the remainder the remainder of the studio is now called Playground Games Redmond to work now on Forza Horizon and Fable after 27 years gone. Never forget this guy with the Forza games. [sighs] But look at this here. Here's the sour news. You ready? This is coming from Pure Xbox. >> PBZ budget is60 million to make and is doing better than Gears E Day. >> Yep. Phantom Blade Zero $60 million budget and doing way better than Gears Eday. $500 million game. Listen, it breaks my heart, dude. It breaks my heart. This is really sad. It breaks my heart for Xbox. It breaks my heart for gaming because you know what? If Xbox goes away tomorrow, we are doomed. That and this is something that I try to drive home so many times to people because a lot of people they're still in the fanboy phase and will continue to be in the fan girl and fanboy phase where yay Sony, yay, all Sony all day every day. not realizing that if Xbox goes away, we are doomed. We already doomed right now. Because look at Sony, they don't care. You know why Sony does not care? Because Sony has no problem selling PS5s. They have no problem selling consoles. Maybe next generation maybe that might be a thing, but I don't know. Say, do you think it was a mistake? I even if they would have put it on PS5, I mean, it would have helped a little bit, but I don't know, dude, Daniel. I don't know. People are weird. I don't know. I don't know. But all I can say is this is sad. This saddens me because if Xbox goes away tomorrow, we are doomed. That's what y'all not understanding. We are toast bread. If freaking Xbox goes away tomorrow and oh Sony Sony be careful what you wish for. Be careful what y'all cheering on and wishing for. Some of y'all want Xbox to die out and go away. And it's all Sony. That's what y'all want. You see the bull crap that Sony is doing right now and getting away with it. It's only going to get worse. I keep telling y'all wake up and smell the coffee, but no. Some of y'all are still sleeping. You're still sleeping. You still don't get it. You still don't get it because if Sony, they already dominant right now. They already dominant as it is right now. And they don't care about Xbox. They don't care. Microsoft is trying to pull their games away from PlayStation. PlayStation trying to pull their games away from PC. It doesn't matter. $500 million.$500 $500 million game only $400,000 copies. Good Lord Jesus help us. Anyways, purexbox.com is reporting here. Xbox CEO reacts to latest revenue figures with official statement. Quote, "We are making progress with a lot more work ahead." Oh, they we need a lot more work than that, Asha, because it ain't looking too good. Last night, Microsoft shared its earnings results for the quarter ending September 30th, 2026, referred to its FY27Q1. And as expected, it included a few declines for Xbox in terms of revenue compared with the same period a year prior. Xbox was down, look at this, 2% for content and service and services revenue, mostly attributed to third-party content and Xbox Game Pass. Um, it said that growth in firstparty content help to offset the decline. As for hardware revenue was predictably um down by 14%. hardware revenue. You say, "I think even Sars did better than Gears eat it." That's what I'm saying, dude. And I think Gohan Gohan um I think Yeah, I think I've already got that super chat already. Um Oh, yeah. I think I've already got all the super chats already. I think it says we have I think I've already read that. Okay, good. Um thank y'all for the support. So, hardware revenue is down by 14%. Are you surprised? People are not buying Xboxes. They're They're buying them, but they're not buying them enough to make a difference for Is this any Is this any surprise that the Xbox Series consoles is performing way worse than the Xbox One, guys? A console that came out in 2013 is beating out the Series X and S generation by a lot. People are not buying Xboxes like they're supposed to. Asha is making it seem like people are buying Xboxes, but they're really not. They're not buying enough Xboxes. Talking about supply and demand and supply constraints and stuff like that. People are not buying Xboxes, guys. Not a whole lot. Because if people were really buying Xboxes, believe me, these numbers would look completely different from what from what we're seeing right now. This is so freaking sad, bro. Saddens me. And it says right here, Xbox CEO Asha Chararma issued a statement about all of this last night, highlighting the many positives of the past quarter compared to the previous one while also pointing out that hardware is constrainted by supply issues. All right, so this is her whole quote right here. Let's dig into this. All right. Quote, "In Q1, Xbox revenue declined 2% year-over-year compared with a 10% decline." Are y'all paying attention? A quarter ago. So, just a quarter ago. 10% decline. While our um accountability margin improved, Minecraft World of Warcraft Forever set records. Call of Duty had its most acclaimed release in more than a decade. And our PC platform revenue grew double digits. But you see you see how she worded all those things. She's talking about PC and my are y'all paying attention. You know, let me finish reading this cuz some of y'all not paying attention. So, she said, "Call of Duty had its most acclaimed uh release in more than a decade, and our PC platform revenue grew double digits. Console sales remain constrained by supply with more demand than consoles available." That's not true. I'm sorry. I love what Asha is doing, but that's not true. We are working to get more consoles into players hands, including through our expanded refurbish program. We are making progress with a lot more work ahead." End quote. Bro, what she's saying is not true. What she's saying is not true. You notice how she highlighted, you know, the accountability margin. She know, you notice she mentioned Minecraft. She me she mentioned World of Warcraft. She did not mention Gears of War. Hello. [applause] Some of us are still sleeping. It's Saturday. I'm going need for you boys to wake up. Get a little bit of fire. Get a little bit of pep in your steps. Hear me now. Notice she did not mention not one thing about Gears of War Eday. That is a problem. Hello. That is a problem. That is a massive problem. That is not a good sign. You You mentioned Minecraft, World of Warcraft, um uh Warcraft and and and all this and that and Call of Duty. No mention. This is your biggest blockbuster game of the year next to Forza Horizon 6. >> We told you Sony will be fine. We love Heroki Tutoi. >> I bet you do. I bet you do. Average. I bet you do. Not one mention of Gears of War eay. So the console side once again is suffering. This is not good. people are not buying Xboxes. And then she's saying that, oh yeah, you know, availability, console demand, more demand. There's not no more demand. You still can buy Xboxes. You go on, they they have a sale going on right now for the white Xbox. You can get one for $600. Still too expensive for a lot of people. They went up on the Xboxes what, three times at this point. You What was she talking about? the demand. What kind of demand? What kind What kind of demand are you talking about? You can find You can find Xboxes right now. You ain't even got to look hard. Go to I can go to I can go to Best Buy. I can go to Target right now. They got so many Xboxes. Where are they selling out at? Where Where are Where are they selling out at? Hm. Are people rushing out doing their Nudo dance and rushing out to go buy Xboxes? No. Are people buying Xboxes? Yes, because of GTA 6. I've seen people buy G, you know, um um uh Xboxes on the used market. I told you guys not that long ago. But it's not a lot. It's not It's not on the level of PlayStation. It's not clearly, right? Because once again, Xbox revenue is down 2%. Compared with a 10% decline just a quarter ago. So when she's sitting there talking, where is Gears? This is your biggest blockbuster franchise. Where is Gears? H where is Gears? This is where this is where you need to be talking about Gears of War and be like, "Hey, look, um, hey, you know what I'm saying? Gears of War did 2 million, 3 million, 4 million, 5 million. I would love for Gears to do three or four or five million. Not even close." Sad, man. It saddens my spirit, bro. Xbox is just I don't know. It's like it's like everything they touch turns to crap. It's like they you know, she's trying everything that she can. I mean, we're going to see what happens with the Helix, but man, it I don't know, man. I just I don't know, dude. I don't know what is going on, bro, with Xbox. Like, what is going on? People are just not buying the freaking games. Sorry. People are just not buying the freaking games. What is going on? Even when it comes to GTA 6, people are buying more PS5s. People are buying more PS5s than they are Xboxes to play GTA 6. And it's always been that way. What is going on with Xbox? What is Where's all the Xbox guys at? Please tell me what is going on. Why? I could I could go on Amazon right now. bunch of freaking Xboxes left and right. I can go look at watch this. You could go You could go You could go to Amazon right now. If I want a Xbox right now, I can type in um I can type in right right here. Right here. Right. I can type in Xbox. Xbox Series X. What kind of supply? What kind of problems? I mean, uh, you can clearly see Xboxes left and right. Xboxes left and right. You can buy one right now on Amazon. $750 for an Xbox. You know what I'm saying? I couldn't tell you the last time I've seen an Xbox sold out. Completely sold out. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's been a long time. But I don't know, man. I'm just praying and hoping for the best for Xbox right now. I I just I don't know what's going on, dude. [sighs] And right now, just so you guys know for context PS5 is outpacing the previous gen lifetime US sales. Let that sink in right now. Is Microsoft outpacing the Xbox One? Heck no. No, it's not. It's not. Very sad. Very sad, bro. Wow, dude. Wow. Wow. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what else to say, guys. It's very sad, man. Breaks my heart, dude. Breaks my heart, but what are you going to do? Just hope things get better, right? Anyways, let's move on. Let's talk about Phantom Blade Zero. [applause] >> [applause] >> Now, Phantom Blade Zero is doing extremely well right now. Congratulations to the team. I'm telling you, man. [applause] These Chinese developers. Wow. [applause] I'm going to show you guys these amazing numbers. Wow. These Chinese developers [applause] are crushing it. Wow. I mean, this is one of the highest rated single player game in a very long time. You know what I'm saying? Chinese developers. Chinese developers are owning this industry right now. They're taking over. It's not the western, you know what I mean? It's the Asian developers, man. The Indian developers, they're the ones owning this industry right now making something meaningful. I know some people are like, "Oh, you know, this is another Soulslike game." It's not a Soulslike game. It's a action RPG game. All right. That's what they're labeling it as. It's a action, you know, third person adventure game. I, you know, whatever.

Let's talk about GTA 6 once again. So, we got some new screenshots that I didn't get a chance to look at earlier. >> Marlin, do you know that Sony found this game? >> I'm pretty sure they did. Yep. I think I read something about that. And that's why they're pushing and marketing. Obviously, they have some exclusivity deal in for a year. I think it's a year exclusivity deal in. Yep. Um, but yeah, let's let's continue. Hit the like like button as well. Appreciate you guys. Thank y'all for the support. All right, let's move on. Yo, let's talk about these screenshots. And we also going to combine this with some new details, gameplay details for GTA 6. You ready? You ready? Put on your seat belts. Let's go, boys. All right. I guess we need to start at the first the first one. All right. So, you know what? Let's go backwards. Just look at this. The Everglades. Look at this. Just look how photo realistic that looks. Just look how photo realistic that looks. I can't even begin to tell you guys how photo realistic that looks. Hello. Look at that. Some of y'all are still sleeping today. Look at that ray tracing. Look at the lighting. Look at the reflections. Look at the ripple effects. Look at the draw distance. Absolutely insane. Oh boy. Lucia. Oh my god, dude. Look at the lighting. Look at the neon lights. Look at the hair. Like the shadows. Wow, dude. Come on, man. Come on. Some of y'all are sleeping right now, man. Check out these screenshots, baby. Look at these screenshots. All right. Look at this, man. The sweat like just I I can't I just This is too much for me. Too much. Oh, look at Jason over here breaking into a freaking car. Breaking and entering right now. They just robbed a super basically a corner store. new ways to break in the cars in the game and everything. Look, just look how good that freaking looks. Looks absolutely incredible. I can't believe we're getting this game in in like 20 days. Basically 20 freaking days. Can't believe this. Look how good this looks. Can't wait to play this on PC. I can't wait for this to be on PC. Baby, baby baby. I can't wait. Yeah. Yeah. Why y'all crying about consoles? Can't wait to play this on PC, baby. Yes, sir. [applause] So cry. Come on, man. [cheering] Come on, man. [screaming] Nah, don't come on, man. Me. It is what it is. You know what? At this point, I'm not going to pop a blood vessel. If this game ain't 60 frames, I ain't about to cry no river. It is. F it. Screw it. I'm playing it on PC. It is what it is. Would I like it to be 60 frames on consoles? Yep. But that's what we get for buying freaking consoles. You know what I'm saying? That's what we get, right? Because either these developers are not doing their jobs in optimizing the game enough to run on these freaking consoles. So instead, we get crumbs. Instead, we get these games that we want to play at 60 frames per second at 30 frames per second because we're constrained by freaking TDP and thermal limits. You know what I mean? On what these consoles can do and CPU and this and that, right? We don't know. We hearing that PS5 Pro is going to run it at 30 frames. We don't know. Let's keep it pushing. Oh my goodness gracious. Look at this game, dude. Look at this freaking game. Oh my god. Yo, this is I don't know how much more realistic this can be. I I I I don't I don't know. I don't know, dude. The lighting is absolutely incredible. I can't wait, man. The photo mode in this game is going to be nuts. I can't wait to see what the GTA 6 community I can't wait to see what the the GTA community is going to do with with photos. They're about to go ape crazy. But hey, here we are. Look at this, man. Oh my goodness gracious. The detail is absolutely incredible. Look how real this looks. And you know, this is why I said this this game is gonna probably be one of the greatest game ever made in a long time because they're combining mechanics from older games from RDR2, Max Pain 3. You know what I'm saying? Like, think about those two alone. Those two alone, Max Pain 3, and RDR2. Oh my goodness, dude. You got a recipe for success. Look at Oh my god. [applause] Look at this. Wow, bro. That looks so freaking real. It's It's scary how real that looks, bro. Look at the wrinkles on his hand. Like you know how you hold your hand with something, you can see the wrinkles and your skin and all that kind of stuff. Look, bro, look at the sweat. Look at his eyes. Like it's He's just like, "Yo, I'm ready to go ham on anything right now." You know what I'm saying? Don't mess with me. That look that Jason is giving right here in this scene is like, "Listen, don't don't play with me, bro. Don't play with me, bro. Just look how realistic. I can't believe we're getting a game that looks this real. Golly, dude. I I mean, [sighs] wow. I I just I don't even know what to say right now. Underwater. I I I Hammerhead shark right here. I can't wait, dude. I can't wait to see how the underwater missions are going to be. I can't wait. I can't wait. Oh, wow. Look at this right here. Look at the Look at the tattoos and everything. Look how realistic that looks. God, I can't wait for this game, dude. I I can't wait. Biker Boys, look at this right here. Just look how realistic. Look at the water. You see the water splashing up as the bikes are riding past and everything like this is nuts. This this Oh my goodness. I can't dude. This This looks Max Yep. Max Payne. I just said Max Payne and RDR, man. Like you got the be two of the best games ever made fused into one. Look at these. Look at this freaking screenshot right here with Jason Lucia. You can tell that they robbed somewhere and they're they're riding off in the sunset. Look how realistic that looks. The level of realism, bro. 13 years was not wasted. Eight years of development was not wasted at all. I mean, good lord. Talking about Bonnie and Clyde. Good lord. Good lord, man. I I don't man there's so much detail in this shot. It's just it's just crazy the expressions, dude. How Rockstar has evolved, you know what I mean, from RDR2 cuz this edges is out RDR2 in terms of facial expressions and animations and stuff like this looks absolutely incredible, man. I just I look at this one right here. Oh my goodness gracious, bro. Look at this. Getting a tattoo and everything. Look at Wow. You already know. You already know what's going down. These are some biker boys, some gangs in the game and everything. Like, look at this, man. Look how realistic those tattoos are. Just look. Just look at the whole profile. Look at everything that's going on. Like, this is nuts. This is absolutely insane. Insanity. The amount of detail. Oh, yeah. RDR3 is going to be unbelievable, dude. And remember, their life cycle for the games and stuff are going to be a lot better. Um, in terms of like they're going to be able to crank out these games at a faster pace now and stuff like that. So, I I don't know. Um, but we'll see. RDR2 I mean RDR3 might be around the corner sooner rather than later. Look at this shot right here. Look how good this looks. Look at the water, dude. Look at the water, man. The amount of videos I'm going to be cranking out is going to be unreal for GTA. The amount of videos I'm going to be cranking out for this game, I I I bro, I can't wait. There's an idea that just popped in my head for for for content for this game. The amount of content that I'm gonna make off of this game, I'm already starting to write it down right now. GTA 6 content plan, the amount of content that I'm going to have, it's going to be insane, you know what I mean? Like, like the water, you know what I mean? Like, look at that. Oh my god, dude. I'm telling you guys right now, this looks insane, dude. I I don't I don't even know what else to say. When you look at GTA 5 compared to GTA 6, it's like it's not even close. It's not It's not even close. It's not even close. [applause] Wow. [applause] Now, we got some new details to go over and discuss. You ready? We got some new GTA 6 details. So, let me go ahead and put a time stamp on this. Hit that like button for me, guys. Happy Halloween. I know some of y'all are probably out trick-or-treating with your family and stuff. Those of you who are here, I appreciate y'all. Thank y'all for being here. I know some of you guys are busy and have time better things to do rather than listen to me yap about GTA 6, but for those of you who don't care, you want to trickor treat and you want to still be here, I appreciate y'all. Let's get right into it. So, GTA 6 countdown. Pay attention. New 40 new GTA 6 details from Edge Magazine's handsoff preview at Rockstar North. No old information repeated. So, brand new information. Put on your seat belts. Okay. Put on your seat belts. They watched Rob Nelson play the game completely unscripted for one and a half hours. Nelson says Jason's actor took a long time to cast as they were looking for the perfect fit for the role. Wow. The map size is nearly, listen to this, pay attention. The map size is nearly as large as GTA 4, GTA 5, and RDR2's playable map areas combined. What? Oh my freaking god, [applause] [applause] bro. What? There is no way. There is no freaking way. There is no way. There is no way. I refuse to believe there is no freaking way. Every random location is densely detail and interesting as the others. Aaron Garbut hasn't seen all locations despite spending years exploring the game due to how dense the world is. What? This man helped develop the game and have not seen all the location. I don't even think y'all not I'm about to I'm about to end the stream and walk away right now. Y'all not hearing me right now. This man is saying that Aaron Garbut hasn't seen all the locations after spending years exploring. This man has been exploring the game for years and haven't seen all the locations yet. And those of you who like to rush through games, you're going to be in for a rude awakening because apparently you ain't going to be able to rush through nothing. Take your box. Slow yourself down. Take your time. So, I know some of y'all hasty hasty. Oh, let me hurry up and finish this game, man. Nah, man. Because some of them, some of the missions are going to be locked. You're going to need money. You're gonna have to progress, you know, to a certain extent before you can do those mission. You can't go hasty hasty rush through nothing. Take your time. You're going to have these speedrun freaks who's going to try to speedrun through the game to get views and stuff like that. I don't want to do that. I want to be able to play the game and take it in. This man's been developing the game for years. What game do you know? I can't tell you the last time I've seen a game where the the people who are actually developing the game explore the game and haven't even fully explored the entire freaking game. That's how massive the game is. I don't even think y'all even understand what I'm saying. That's insane. You can enter random houses. Pay attention because I ain't going to repeat any of this stuff. You can enter random houses and find photographs, sit on walls, possession accumulate on tables, living rooms and kitchens acquired, a disorder of the individuals who use them. Rockstar is introducing a new mechanic, allowing Jason and Lucia to react on pleasant smells with different facial expressions and very vary degrees of disgust. Wow. So, in other words, if something ain't smelling right, what's that smell? You know what I mean? Like, oh my goodness. I can't listen to this. During the playthrough, Nelson let Jason stare at an NPC who was walking his dog. Ah, sounds familiar, right? I'm guessing that has something to do with the whole South Park situation. Are y'all following along? Okay, let's go. Listen to this. The MPC decided that Jason's stare constitutes a test. So, he unclips the leash from the dog's collar and the dog stares, I'm sorry. And the dog uh starts chasing him. A flock of pigeons bursts into the air. F. Finally, the dog loses interest and trots back to its owner. That is insane. That is insane. What? How realistic? You heard what? You heard what I just said a while ago. Jason was looking at some In other words, Jason was looking at someone. Then the dude unclipped the leash from his dog, right? The dog was, you know, starting to chase after Jason. And then instead of doing that, a flock of pigeons just came out of nowhere and then the dog just loses interest and go somewhere. Wow. I man this is g this game this game. Oh my god, dude. That is insane. The the level of realism in this game is absolutely incredible. I I just I I don't know. I don't even understand how they were able to do all this. Like previous like like in previous titles, police vehicles will have a shotgun that you can pull out and carry. You can find it in the trunk and take it while they are busy confronting an NPC. Clouds shape will change depending on the season, wind, humidity, fog, and time of day. Are y'all paying attention? Like, this is freaking bunkers right now. Like, this is bunkers right now. I can't wait. The wind and storms will have a physical effect on trees, waves, the way boats move, and who a helicopter flies. I'm guessing they meant to say and how a helicopter flies. And it may even sustain light damage from a storm. Oh my god. Oh my god. [applause] Wow. Wow. [applause] It ain't no 30 fps, bro. Why are we putting out unconfirmed information? Skillful. Skillful. Come on, man. We've been down this rabbit hole before. Confirmed. Bro, nothing is confirmed until Rockstar Games come out and say it. Who said this game was confirmed? Who is the source? Who Who is confir? I don't see nothing about that anywhere. First and foremost, who is saying this game is running at 30 frames on PS5 Pro? Who is saying that? Who is the source? Y'all believe that? Come on, guys. Come on. Y'all y'all come on guys. Wait till Rockstar themselves confir. I don't care who which YouTuber saying what. I don't care. Been down this road before. Since the start of this generation, I've gotten burned by so many people who lie and say, "Oh yeah, I my daddy works for Sony. My so and so works for Rocks." I'm not falling for it. I will believe it when it comes out officially. I am not going to believe no YouTuber who don't have no good track record. I don't care who it is. Okay, I will wait. I will wait until I get off. I learned my lesson. I learned my lesson, dude. I know everybody. We know that it we know this game is going to be at 30 frames confirmed locked. But Rob Nelson, I'm going to say it one last time because some of some of us, we just hear what we want to hear. Rob Nelson said that performance mode is still on the table and they have not finalized it as of yet. That's it. That's it. So all this other shenanigans [snorts] and even if it is 30 frames per second, okay, are we surprised? But the game is not even gold yet. Let's wait till the Rockstar games come out officially confirm this stuff. Dig, heck, Digital Foundry ain't even saying nothing. If if anybody will have access to this stuff, this kind of information, and I would believe it's Digital Foundry. If it ain't come from digital, I don't want to hear it because it's a waste of time. Anyways, the wind and storms will have a physical um effect on trees, waves, the way boats move. Oh my god, dude. This is going to be nuts. And how a helicopter flies. and it may even sustain light damage from a storm. NPCs react and seek shelter as weather deteriorates similar to GTA 4. Oh my goodness gracious. Here here's here's what gets me really excited. The day and night cycle. I saw that. I don't believe it until when Rockstar themselves say it. Because if it was gold, why ain't Rockstar saying it? Anyways, let's continue. The day and night cycle has been what? Sustainably extended after the team tested GTA 5's timings where everything felt too fast for a game with this level of fidelity. Oh my god, dude. This is nuts. the the amount of stuff. The amount of stuff. One of the studio heads, Phil Hooker, says he spends much of his time waiting for buses and mesmerizing routes. Memorizing routes. So, he's memorizing I there's a lot of spellch check. I think they just copy and paste stuff and didn't even spell check it. Memorizing routes. So he spend days waiting for buses and memorizing routes, checking that they arrive when they are expected. Bro, this is insane. Then riding them across Leonida and watching the world pass by. What? Yo, this is crazy. I I can't. This is nuts. This is nuts. This is nuts. Like just reading all these, bro. There's so much stuff here. Like I just I just want to keep reading this. Like this is there is so much stuff here. A lot of this stuff is new. They sent a lot of this stuff. I haven't seen anything about this kind of stuff anywhere else until Edge magazine put this out. Like running out of fuel, so you're going to have to go to the gas station. I I guess not every single time, but like the fuel mechanic won't be as bad as some people think as vehicles can drive for a long distance before running low on fuel and refilling will be quick 10-second animation, [cheering] bro. [applause] >> [applause] >> Bro, like I said, and I'm I'm Let me say this right now because is it disappointing that this game is running at 30 frames per second? 100%. But are we surprised? I mean, I I think all I'm just wasting my time reading all this because some of you guys are not impressed. All you're focusing on is is performance, which I understand that. But that's what PC is for, guys. I'm at a stage in my life now where I really don't care anymore so much about what games are running like on consoles as much as I used to. I really don't care because at the end of the day it's like you you already know. You already every time every single time we get down this road, we already know. And at this point it if it if it is 30 frames per second, okay, whatever. I'm still going to play it. Still going to play the game and review the game and check it out. See what it has to offer on consoles. But I know that I'm fortunate enough to play it on PC and I can play it on PC and check it out for myself. It is what it is. At this point, I'm not going to run up my blood pressure anymore worried about what a game is going to run at on freaking consoles because the end of the day, it is what it's going to be. And whether we over here getting mad and antsy about it, it ain't going to change a freaking thing as you can see. because right now they already came out and said this game is going to run at 30 frames. Still didn't stop a lot of people from pre-ordering it. I'm just saying. So, at the end of the day, it's like for me, I know the performance that I want to get, I'm not going to get it on consoles. >> Let's just be realistic here. expecting for GTA 6 to run at 60 obviously doesn't understand how technology works and how big this game is. >> Yep. I've already said it, Mike. I've I've already said it. I've already said it. But at this point, guys, it's just it's just a waste of time because it's like, you know, and I know. Chances are this game is going to run at 30 frames. We don't know yet. We know it's confirmed to be a lock 60, but there's performance on the table. We don't know. We still have to wait to see. And if it is 30 frames, am I going to run run off and cry? Am I going to cry? Oh my god. Is it disappointing? Yeah, sure. But I also know it will be on other platforms that are more superior than PS5 and Series X. It will be a miracle if this game runs at 60 frames. We heard rumors saying that this game is going to run at 60 frames. Look how the game looks. Look how dense. Look how look how much stuff going on in the world. I get it. Rockstar has always given us 30 30 frames per second experiences when it comes to Grand Theft Auto. I get it. I understand. I'm right there with you. But look at the hardware that we're working with. Look at these consoles. Look at the CPU. Look at the APU. A lot of this stuff is heavy scaling. We have to heavily rely on scaling. the only way this game is going to run at 60 frames per second. And then here's here's here's the thing that you just you can't you can never satisfy people. And the the law of physics is always there to correct some of y'all cuz some of y'all don't understand how math works. Some of y'all and this is why you have to be careful to fall in the trap of people because people want things to look incredibly well. Pay attention to what I'm saying. People want things to look incredibly well, incredibly detailed, and still give you the performance that they are desiring. They want GTA 6 to look exceptional and giving and and giving them the performance to match. That's not possible on these consoles. Not a game looking like that. I don't understand how many times I have to repeat this. A game looking like that. But here we here's where it gets here. Here's here is where we fall into the trap. Here's where it comes back and bite us in the rear. Cuz now if they get this game to run at 60 frames per second and the quality is not the same like what they've been showing, you're going to freaking complain. You're still going to comp. I know a lot of people, bro. I know gamers. I know a lot how people operate. They're going to complain about the quality. Oh man, they downgraded the game, man. Remember Watchd Dogs? Hello? Y'all don't remember Watchd Dogs? How the game look completely different from what was shown? People were complaining. So, if GTA 6 comes out and GTA 6 No, no, no. Those of you who are whining about this 30 frames per second stuff, no, no, let's talk about it. Because if this game runs at 60 frames per second and it's not looking the way you want it to look, you're still going to be complaining. So, in other words, you're never going to be satisfied. So, you know what I say? Play it on PC. Wait for it. Don't even waste your time buying this game at this point. You're right. Don't buy it. Don't buy it. Just simple. Just don't buy it. Don't buy it on P. Don't don't don't buy it on on on PlayStation. Don't buy it on Xbox because, you know, and I know you're not going to be impressed. Do what you want to do, but don't get mad if the quality is not going to be what you're expecting it to be. Don't get mad. That's all I'm saying. You already have people saying, "Oh, the quality of the game is not the same." You already hearing that already. Who knows? Maybe they kind of went down on the quality a little bit just to get the game to run. Look how the game looks. I don't think y'all are understanding. We quiet now. We quiet. You see what I'm saying? Whenever I'm start talking and trying to make sense out of the nonsense, nobody wants to talk now. Hello. Anybody have anything to say? Anybody have anything to say on what I just said? Because it's plain and simple. You can't expect a game to look the way how GTA anybody with freaking technology sense would know that you can't look at a game like GTA 6 looking the way it's looking and expect this game to run at 60 frames per second on these consoles. Think without sacrificing something. Even if they sacrifice the quality, you're still going to be complaining. I know. I know. I'm not specifically talking about y'all. I'm just saying gaming in general. I know people, they're going to be why he looks like this and this and that. There's no way. Okay. What do you want? Do you want performance? Because if if you've been paying attention to this generation, no. Let's talk. Let's talk because now I'm riled up now. All right. because I'm so tired of it. It's like if you've been paying attention to this entire generation, a lot of these games have to make sacrifices to give you the performance that you deserve, right? Half of this generation, what have we been getting? 30 frames per second. Y'all don't want to hear the truth. Some of y'all came after me with your pitchforks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Here you go complaining. 30 FPS is fine. 30 fps is fine. Half of this generation, y'all were saying 30 fps is fine. Now that we're starting to get more games running at 60 frames per second, now it's not fine no more. And then y'all still complain about how the quality of the game looks. They have to sacrifice. It's a console. It's not a PC. What are we What are we doing? Thank you for the jewels. This is why this is so frustrating. I'm so tired of it because we should know by now. We should know by now how the law of physics works with these frigin consoles. We should know by now that a lot of these developers can only optimize but so much. When a game is this freaking large and this freaking ambitious, what do you expect? Go get a freaking PC. That's what I would say because you what what do you what do you want? What I I don't understand it. You're still on that PS5 Pro Kool-Aid. Like listen, bro, there's only so much they can do with PS5 Pro. PS5 Pro is heavy AI, heavy scaling. Everybody and their mama should know that. Come on, man. We can't be that crazy in the brain to not even think. Think. Use your heads. Come on. How do you expect the game How do you expect a game to look this good with that high of a fidelity to run at a locked 60 frames per second? No. Answer me that. No, we can agree to disagree. Somebody come on, let's go debate me something. How? Come on. A game that m It's not like it's a linear ex. It's not like it's Wolverine or something semi like Gears Eday or something smaller. How the How How do you expect a game like Grand Theft Auto 6 to give you a lock 60 frames per second with no performance drops, with no visual fidelity drop in quality? How do you expect that to happen on these weak freaking consoles? I'm so tired of it. I I really am. It's like It's like, bro, it's like, listen, bro, at the end of the day, at the end of the day, Cand's developers do better 100%. With optimizing their games, 100%. But at the same time, there's always something to complain about. I'm already hearing it. Oh, GTA 6, they they they they um drop on the quality. They downgraded the game. You you're already hearing it. You can't make everybody happy. You can't You can't You can't make everybody happy. And I told you guys specific. Y'all don't listen to me. You know, and I know very well, they're going to resell this game on PS6 and Helix. PlayStation 6 and Helix is going to give you the lock fidelity that you the the the lock fidelity that you need and the frame rate that you're going to need on these consoles. The best experience that you're going to have is on the next generation of consoles, not this generation. Hello. Let me say it again for y'all. The best console experience that you're going to have is going to be on PlayStation 6 and Helix, not PS5 and Series X. because the fidelity and sharpness and image quality that y'all want as well as performance is just not going to happen on these consoles. Period. You know what I'm saying to be true. You know I'm right. Look, this game is bigger than every single other game that they have made combined. GTA 4, GTA 5, RDR3, massive openw world game on these frigin consoles. The [sighs] you know, if this game was smaller in size, okay, game is massive. There's a lot of things going on lot of re anybody anybody who knows about technology understand pro basics of on programming knows how resources how those things are you know how you know running certain game just like having a PC and your PC is not strong enough to run a game you know what happens right the performance take a hit it's not going to look as good it's not going to look as sharp. You're not going to get that performance that you crave, that pixel art performance. It's just not going to happen with the performance. You got to upgrade. You have to upgrade. You have to beef up things. You you you know, you want to max things out on ultra settings, 4K, this for you, you you got you going to pay you gonna pay for that. These consoles, we are limited by the CPU and the GPU. We're limited. We're always going to be limited by the APU that's in these consoles. Doesn't matter. Zen 6, Zen 5, doesn't freaking matter. RDNA5, RDNA6, it don't matter. Sounds amazing right now. Y'all, some of y'all don't understand what I'm saying. Sounds amazing on paper right now, but wait until we get three. Y'all, some of y'all don't learn. Wait until you get three or four years into the generation. And then y'all going to be like, "Oh, Marlin, America, I thought, >> "Oh, Marlin, ignore these haters. These MFS don't know GTA like us. They grew up with GTA 5 as their first GTA and think they know gaming, lol." >> Bro, uh, cowboy, thank you so much, bro. It know it's it's it's it's and I try to tell people this. I try to tell people, I say, "Guys, guys, if they get GTA 6 running at 60 frame, it's not going to look the way you think it's going to look." I I didn't tell y'all that. What? Before the PS5 Pro came out, I said, "Is it possible they could get it running at 60?" Yeah, 100%. But they are going to have to scale down a lot. They're going to It's just not going to look as as you think it's going to look. There's just no way. Explosions, NPCs, all how how without downgrading some of the quality, without downgrading NPC, that's resources. And GTA, let me say, let me say this cuz some of y'all GTA 6 is a heavy CPU intensive game. It's a heavy simulative game. heavy simulation game. Games like that relies heavily on the CPU. Period. If you don't have a strong CPU to handle all that stuff, all that computing, all that processing, all that information, you're cooked. that that that that's the problem that we're dealing with with these consoles. Like outdated hardware from 2015, y'all. This is 2014 2015 hardware. Like, I'm not over here defending Rockstar in any way. And I know some of y'all going to pull that card, but I feel like that's unfair because I'm not defending anything. All I'm showing you is the evidence. Look at the game. Look at the game how it looks. I'll be sitting here saying, "Nope. Lock 60 frames per second with it looking that way." No, that's unrealistic. Maybe close to 60 if they can get it there. And some of y'all are not going to be satisfied. Even if we get a performance mode, right, and it's up to 50 frames or up to 60 frames. Say for instance, if they come out and say up to 60 frames in performance, you're still not going to be satisfied because you're going to be complain, oh well, you know, bunch of NPCs, you know, explosions and this and blah blah blah blah blah, lots of stuff. It's going to drop. You drop below that VRR bandwidth, it's a slideshow. Hello. Hello. Hello. It's a slideshow. You know, and I know it. You get out of that VRR bandwidth range, you're cooked. You got a choppy, blurry looking mess. >> Everybody should know this. >> Rockstar knows next gen is coming. They probably already have a PC level port ready to cash in again. >> Most likely why they skipped PS5 Pro and focus their resources on next general. >> Okay, there you go, cowboy. Thank you. You see, you see you see what I'm saying? Exactly. Dude, y'all got to wake up and smell the coffee right now. [snorts] Wait, thank you, cowboy. Thank you. Somebody to help me out here because I I maybe I'm delusional in the brain. Maybe I'm stupid in the brain. You can't The CPU difference is not even It's minuscule. It's only 10%. real world performance. You are not going to see it. You're not going to see it. Even Mark was even saying that to me so many times. Marlin, the CPU, the CPU, the CPU. If they get this game to run at 60 frames per second, okay, thank you, God. They got it running at 60 frames with some conditions. Conditions that y'all not going to like. conditions on what a PC would give you. No conditions on what a PC can give you, a high-end PC can give you. Most people are not going to trip. They're still going to buy it and play it because they've been waiting 13 years. But for the ultimate experience, they're going to buy, man, Rockstar is going to milk this game for the next eight years. Hello. for the next eight years till the next Grand Theft Auto or longer, they're gonna milk this game, y'all. They got to make money off this game. They're gonna put it on consoles. It's gonna run the way it's going to run. People are still going to buy it. People who are interested in this game, they're still going to cough up that money and buy it. It is what it you This is This is GTA. It's still going to sell. If this, bro, if 60 frames per second was such a big deal right now, it would be on the news. It'll be on national news just like everything else to do with Grand Theft Auto 6. Gamers are protesting. You see people in the streets of Miami. You see people in the streets of their own city protesting about 60 frigin frames per second for GTA 6. No. No. The vast majority of people, it's the truth I'm giving y'all. Some of y'all don't like hearing the truth. Not everybody cares about 60 frames. I had to realize that, bro. People were coming after me at the start of this generation. You're the only one over here whining and complaining about 60 frames per second at the start of this generation. Shut your mouth, Marlin. 30 frames per second is fine. I'm okay with it. That's the problem. The vast majority of people were telling me to shut my mouth. The vast majority of y'all are okay with 30 frames. It's not a big deal. Oh, shut your mouth. You're you're you're talk too much. Here you go. That's how people are, bro. I I have to learn that. I've been doing this for so many years. When I was sitting there, I'm like, man, why is this game running at 30 frames? Why y'all couldn't get this running at 60? Yeah. Yeah. Here you go. Here you freaking go whining and complaining about this game not having when I was sitting there calling out freaking what's their name? For Gotham Knights running at 30 frames. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Here you go. It's fine. It's fine. you just always whining about something. Then then when they added 60 frames per second, it was a little while after they added I said, "Eh, not interested anymore. Not." And then people were still complaining about Gotham Knights. After they got the 60 frames, they still was faking complaining. So again, look at RDR2. Still playing it to this day on consoles at 30 frames per second. game still sold as well as it did at 30 frames per second. I get it. We're in a new generation. We're supposed to be getting 60 frames per second. 100%. I'm right there with you. But guys, some of these games are just on Look at Look at Dragon's Dogma, too. I know some of y'all going to pull up the pitchforks and knives about game is not optimized very well. The game engine is Yep. True. Look at Crimson Desert. You get up on that bug that bug heel with all them freaking bugs. Ah, wake up. Same thing is going to be with GTA 6. Even if it gets to 60 frames, you start getting into similar to that uh Crimson Desert uh level where there's a bunch of bugs, bunch of NPCs, and the freaking uh frames starting to drop drastically drop. That's what's gonna happen with GTA 6 and you're still gonna be complaining. And I mean, you have a right to complain. You're spending your money, but all I'm saying is you got to be realistic. >> 30fps is okay if you stand still and don't move the camera. There you go. >> It'll pass on Snoop Dog GTA dollar store. [laughter] [laughter] >> [snorts] >> Mark, I'm not about to play with you. We trying to have a serious conversation. And here comes Mark donating. You know what I'm saying? And talking about dollar store Snoop Dogg. Listen to me. We ain't got This ain't no game. This ain't no joke. Come on, Mark. Come on, man. All right. Come on, man. Stop making me laugh, man. Come on. Stop with your snoopery, bro. Come on. All right. So, listen. Yes. Do I want to play this game at 30 FPS? Heck no. [laughter] Heck no. [laughter] Heck no. Oh, I don't want to play this game at 30 frames. No, I don't. But I have to be realistic. >> The problem is these games are getting even bigger, making it harder to render 60. Do you know how much they would have to scale back as far as density? >> A lot. And that's what's going to make a lot of people upset. That's the thing. That's the thing, Mike. Mike, Sean, that's the thing. They would have to scale back a lot. That's what I'm trying to get people to understand. There is no world where you're going to get this super high sharp fidelity and get this kind of graphics. It's just not going to happen. It's just not going to happen. Not on these consoles. They're going to have to downgrade some stuff. Whether it's the MPCs, whether it's the visual fidelity, something is going to have to be sacrificed. You can't have the best of both. That's why you have PC. That's why PC is so good because people with mid-range to high-end PCs are able to play a lot of their games at the high frame rates that they want. Period. >> They will also have to get rid of some features. Person shrugging emoji. >> Yep. 100%. Marlin, I can't stop seeing Snoop Dog. Bro, you know what's crazy about this whole Snoop Dogg thing? I've been getting that for years. Just like I get the Kevin Durant stuff for I be I be getting the Snoop Dogg stuff for a while now on stream. I don't remember in in like real life, but I remember a lot of times on stream I be hearing the same thing like and I'm like, "Bro, y'all need to chill with the Snoop Dogg stuff, bro. Come on. Stop it. Get some help. All right, forget about the Snoop Dog stuff right now. We talking about Bennis right now. Okay, we can stay we can save the Snoop DoubleG jokes for later. We talking about this performance situation right now and this cannot wait. This need to be handled right away. Okay. All right. Anything is possible. Okay. Is it possible that this game could run at 60 frames? Yes, 100%. Do I want to play this game at 30 frames? No. But my job relies heavily around reviewing and playing games for you guys. This is how Marlin Gaming Nation becomes a thing. If I'm not reviewing and playing games, what am I doing? But if I if I had a choice, no, I don't want to play an open world game at 30 frames locked. That's not an enjoyable experience. But your job is to review games. You get games in for review, your job is to play them and review them. Now, if I'm playing GTA 6 and it drops below 30 frames per second and it's a slideshow, that's a problem. That's a ma I'm not saying it's not a problem. But what I'm saying to you guys is look at the way how this game looks. Look how massive this game looks. If they get it to run it at 60 frames, is it possible? Yes. Anything is possible. But it's not going to be at the fidelity. The only way you're going to get that perfect balance of fidelity and performance is on a high-end PC when it comes to PC. When the game comes out on PC, that's the only way. That's the only way. Or PS6 and and Helix because those consoles are supposed to be far way more powerful than these consoles. That's the only way. Otherwise, you might as well pack up your lunch kit. Pack up your lunch kits. Can Rockstar surprise us and give us this game at 60 frame? I'm praying to God that it happens because that would be and I want them to do it because then that would teach the the industry a massive lesson. What kind of lesson is that, Marlin? I'll tell you what. Hold on to your seats. The lesson is you can take something as massive as GTA 6 and turn it into gold, turn it into wine by still offering you the fidelity and and dense whirl and still offering you the performance that you deserve and you crave. I want them to do I want them to do 60 frames. I really do because I want them to give the industry a wakeup call because whatever this game does, it's going to shake up the industry. Animations graphics gameplay storytelling, it's going to shake up the industry. >> Wow. Wow. Wow. Yo yay. Lol. Okay, I'm done. [laughter] [laughter] GTA Highway Snoopy. [cheering] [applause] [applause] [laughter] [laughter] [screaming] >> [laughter] [panting] >> I'm done with y'all. I'm about to play with y'all. Um, thank you for the jewels. I'm not about to play with Mark. I'm not about to play with any of y'all today. I don't have time for this. [laughter] [laughter] Listen, I don't have time for y'all shenan. Nathan Higgins, I'm done with you, too. I'm done with all all y'all. I'm done with y'all. I'm done with Nathan. I'm done with I'm done with freaking Mark because I can't have a straight conversation with y'all without laughing. I am done with y'all. All I'm saying is this. In my closing, I'm done. I'm not about to laugh with y'all. I can't with y'all. Can't. Am I closing on this conversation? Yes, you're spending your money. Yes, you want the highest frame rate possible. You want the best performance possible. I get it. As a consumer, from a consumer standpoint, heck yeah. Let's go. >> You that down bad about 60. Just wait on PS6. Simple. >> But but but but but Mike, hold on. Not so fast. Mike, not so fast. Mike, hold on. Here's the problem with the PS6 situation. PS6 ain't fixing to be cheap. PS6 is going to be over $1,000. So, they're going to complain about the price. Even if even if they're able to run this game at 60 frame, they're going to complain and say, "Oh, it's too expensive." You know, rightfully so, it's expensive, but it pays to be the boss. Remember what I told you in life? I've sacrificed a lot of things in my life just so that I can take shame out of my eyes. You know what that means? Just to just to do the right thing in life. You got to tuck your pride in. Period. It pays to be the boss. And this applies not just to video games, but to everything else in your life. You want something, go out there and do it yourself. I'm so tired of people making excuses. go out there and do it yourself. Period. You want something go you want you want 60 frames. You know it comes with a cost. If you can if we cannot get a lock 60 frames on these consoles, are you surprised? Anybody who knows computers, know technology, knows how programming works and how game game development have a basic understanding of of of gaming and game development and all these kind of things. Then they already know, you know what, I'll I'll still play the game because I want to play it, but I know where my final destination is going to be. My f Marlin, my final destination will be PC. me, my final destination is PC. Like, so it is it's is it going to bother me as much that it's not running at 60 frames on console? A lock 60 frames on console, it's not going to bother me as much. You know what I mean? Like I I I I'm going into this expecting the worst. Period. I'm going into this, even if they say 60 up, it ain't going to be locked at 60 all the time. Because as soon as you start going into those intense areas, it's gonna drop. And those same people that's talking about 60 frames per second. Oh, come on, dog. Come on, man. Yeah. What do you expect, man? What do you expect? Come on, man. What do you expect? [laughter] What do you expect, man? Huh? [laughter] Listen, man. Come on, PC. If you Some of y'all that are I know this is not everybody, okay? I love you guys, man. You guys are family. You know what I'm saying? We agree to disagree. I'm only saying this out of love. All right? Are you guys hearing what I'm saying? Listen to me. Okay? Those of you guys with PCs, high-end PCs, mid to high-end PCs, even lowerend PCs, God bless y'all for real. [applause] Right. [applause] Come on, Ray. Come on. You should know this because here because because and and and cash that's fine, bro. Hey, salute. Salute Cash. That's cool, bro. That's cool, man. Listen, bro. Um, if if if if the game is not going to be running at 60 frames and you're not going to buy it, that's cool. You have a right as a consumer. That's your consumer right not to buy everything you see cuz everything you see might not be what you like or love. Does that make sense? Period. But those of you who are blessed and fortunate enough to have a high-end PC or a mid-level PC, God bless y'all because you have options. So yeah, are you going to are you going to throw a fit if it's not running at 60 frames on consoles? Maybe. Maybe because you're spending your money. But you know, in the end, in the back of your head, you're like, "All right, you know what? It's coming to PC. It's not a big deal. I'll play it the way it is on consoles and then I'll play it on PC." That's how I'm treating it to be honest with y'all. Whether it's at 60 frames or not, it is what it is. Like even if it's even if it goes up to 60 and then goes back down to 45 or 40 or 35 and then goes back up, it fluctuate in that VRR range, whatever. Fine. 48, 60, whatever. Okay. Okay. Fine. I don't care. You know what I mean? It's not it's not going to I'm not going to blow a gasket over it. It's not I'm not going to I'm not it's not the end of the world because I knew going into this this is not a PC. This is not a 5090. This is not a 5080 5070 5070 Ti 9070 whatever frigin cards you have. You know what I mean? This is not what this is. This is a frigin console. I'm just saying guys, you have to be realistic at the end of the day. can't just be coming in here and wishing that everything is Daniel Tiger make believe stuff. Come on, man. All right, so we're in the Q&A portion right now. They got Marlin. He will buy multiple copies. Got You know what? Let's hurry up because I have I have another stream to do for you guys.
