Because of our last week. Yeah, we are totally... Because of our last week's issue. Oh, yeah. Because, what, it's, it's, there's, there's, it's, there's, there, there, because we've got on a conting problem in a technical earlier, and, eto, eto, because the, the last episode we is gamescom, uh, gamescom opening night live, we've been talking about usap and for today, gamescomp, we're also, actually, gamescom also, and... Oh, yikes. There's part two. We're part two, because, literally, that's just, um, is, um, there's what happened, uh, there's, uh, On, yikes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's what happened in GAMCOM, and we didn't know what specifically what happened on those, on that convention, actually. And, because we've been, we've talked, right, right, from Mega Man, from Mega Man, from Crazy Taxi. from FF7 revelation, like that, we're, we've got to take us, we're, we're, we, we're, we're, like, boy, that escalated quickly, in a wrong way possible, no, we're, we know how, and I don't know why that happened, actually, but, but, this Um, not, we'll know, we'll know, we'll know, alongside as, um, we call this, alongside as a lot of issues, like, throughout the events that happened in, like, um, Conquest, like, PGF, and something, something, something in the, in the, uh, in the, in the, uh, in the, in the, Oh, yeah, no, I don't know what I really, because, this only, because, this is, because, the topic, because, we've seen our, our, um, uh, the main topic our, which is, uh, the failed conventions, and why did it happen? That's the thing that's the way, for those conventions that, I guess, it's not that good for our conventions that, because, currently, it is not that good, you know what I'm not that good at the moment, in our conventions that, and, in the because they, they're, they're, they're, they're, like, as in nothing. You know, as in nothing, you know, as in nothing happened. No, nothing happened, and, well, the other, because, you know, such as, um, in, yeah, the other, the, yeah, the other, the other, like, out of nowhere, out of, out of, where, where we know, we know. Oh, no, we're not, seriously, we don't know where where we're going to situation. But we'll talk about it later on, but, but, back on first that, because, um, there's a lot of things happening, there's a lot of things happening in the gaming space and in the gaming world. What if, we'll justapa now that on this week's rundown. So, our our Rundown for this week, PlayStation has been doubling down. If I mean doubling down, I mean doubling down. Doubling down on Ditching Physical Media. This PlayStation is doubling down in ditching physical media. Even there's a ton of class action lawsuits, and there's a lot of things that are happening in the background. And, Maybe during the show, because at 9 state of play of PlayStation at the moment. So, PlayStation has been arguing, again, PlayStation has been arguing that, that digital game ownership is quote-unquote, not plausible. I am, like, I don't, I don't want to say something. I don't want to say something about this. Okay, so the thing is, what's what you're doing you? Yeah, so basically, the, you're just, um, it's just, um, it's, um, you know, rent to own. I rent to own, but, more like, more like, what it's, let's just say, like, what, what, Like, it's like, it, like subscriptions, like a lot of steps, actually. Yeah, but, all right, go on. Oh, go, go ahead, go ahead, Shane. I mean, I mean, I mean, did you, you know, the news that's what did you know, in PlayStation, right, like, the, what do you call this, the... what do you call this, the, what you call this, the, what, the, what they're, the, the network of PS5, but just, but instead of they're playing offline, bye-bye, Bacaroo, that's that's what, so you know, so you know, so you know, that's what I meant by, you know, I think the same thing that happened that I've seen I've seen post on Twitter about when it, if you down Steam, you can still be able to play offline, which is pretty nice, actually. Yeah, you can, you can, actually, even when you're offline. Even if you're offline, yeah. But, but in PS, but in PlayStation, sorry, my friend, extra $5, please, oh, wait. $27, I don't know how much, the subscription fee of GSM Plus. Extra, just, $8, $9,000, like that, the price of, $10, $16,000, if you're not. $25, let's just say $20 or something, like that. Because, that's that's the PlayStation, but, depending, depending on the market. Currently, probably the market now is 2499, if not mistaken, in America. Yeah, but what, that's the most worry, that's the future of PlayStation. But, like, for example, the Persona 6, it's, like, for example, the Persona 6, but, I don't know if I, PS, Persona 4, or Persona 4 remake, or Persona 6, sabbda, Japanese, in Japan just as of now. Yes, I wish I was kidding, but here you are, I guess. I am just speechless. Yeah, but, which is kind of, which, which really sucks, honestly, I mean, well, to be perfectly honest, the PlayStation games are doing it great. well, those of third party, you know, developers, yes, like, you know, there are many, you know, until, that, that, that, that thing, which we are talking about now, which is absolutely balls, it's, it's, it's, it's speechless, like, it, in my opinion, it, Because it is not that, it is not that, um, it is not that, um, it is not that kind, uh, it is definitely not the, not, that thing that you want to, uh, talk about, you know, that. It's, it's hard, it, that, you know, physical game ownership, but it's, but it's, you know, Bacarunis. So, basically, um, your game will last for, like, um, for example, if you're, 6 months or 45, it'll be, what it is, it is, came to dust, like, and that is not, um, that is not, um, that is not, um, that is not good for gaming. in general, that's the good their gamers, you basically, you basically pay more your investors rather than your gaming community, which is not good. Yeah, sadly. Yeah, C.J. Yeah. The other ship, because, is something that, well, if we look at the Terms and Conditions of PlayStation, well, they're arguing because the legalities of Terms and Conditions on, you know, the games of PlayStation, that they're doing, they're But then again, you can't deny the culture of, uh, we want, we want something to be, uh, we want something that's, to be felt, that we know, that's, to be felt, that, that, we know, that's, to be seen us, that we're Like the Philippines, like, that, not so good, uh, that, not so good an internet connectivity, and the other regions as well, in Africa, in the, you know, in the developing countries, I would say. But that, that, that, yeah, uh, let, uh, but, you, see, uh, but, you, see, I, I mention you know, uh, there's, this, uh, the, the, the nostalgia, because, yeah, so, so. Oh wait, I've been meaning to, guys, guys, I've been meaning to ask this kind of question. There are PlayStation Philippines there? There's still. That explains everything. No, okay, now it's beginning to make sense, because I think I'm beginning to realize something. Because the more, the more that they're, the more that they're, the more that they're, F over you there, for sure. And then, the more that, this, the more that they're not, the more that they'll put the support in the Philippines, the more that will be piratahing the players. Yeah, but, again, that explains why they're doing they do digital only, I don't know, but at the future, knock on wood. knock on wood, they'll do the streaming that it's not, like, like, like, for example, Kingdom Hearts games. That's what they're doing their trick. Yeah, that's what they're doing. That is the main problem of it, that is the main point that, why it's the main point that, um, the, um, the, um, the, again and again, again and again, again, again and again, again, again, again, again, again, again. In the words of Eugene Crab himself, money. Yeah, it's money. It's just all money, top at this point. Okay, I don't, I don't know, I don't know, um, this. This only, say, though, this, Sony CIS, PlayStation digital purchases are just licenses. And then. They're still arguing that digital game ownership is not plausible because, you know, this is not owned for something, I don't know why. So, there's the second topic of, the rundown, because it is still PlayStation. It is still PlayStation. The PS5 Pro is now sold out and all of major retailers, including on PlayStation Direct. In the Philippines, is this? In the Philippines, it is the U.S. It is the U.S. At all major retailers in the U.S. So, basically, how are the Because that's the selling point of the players, the holidays, right? So, how they're they can't buy PlayStation 5, well, for they can buy Xbox 1, a lot of those companies are struggling to make some components because AI. Still, still, we are playing AI for that. Yes, unfortunately. On top of that, the price tag on top of that, the price tag on top of that, because what's the demand and demand? There we go. Yeah, supply and demand, then, and then they can't prepare some, you know, some, they can't prepare some of the new reserve of PlayStation 5, so, boom, price increase. that's on, I don't know, oh, I don't know, it's a $1,000 now PS5, especially in pro, well, well, you can still buy PC, oh wait, gee, thanks Sam Outman, in AI and his AI stuff. Yeah, AI stuff, yeah, indeed. Which is kind of, which is kind of a shame, now, instead of, From what I've heard, that, that's manufactured, what, that, the AI boom, so, I just, no, I just, no, I'm, it's just, I'm not, I'm not gonna upgrade GPU, which is really, which is really annoying, to say, to say the least. It's, it's, it's a long, it's, it's, it's, 1060, actually. Sadly, we're not we can't upgrade, because, you know, AI. Gee, thanks Sam Altman for the wonderful world of AI sloppery. Oof, it's like that. It did. Again, well, it's, it's not, it's kind of, it's not, it is that, it is that, uh, it is that, uh, I, uh, uh, annoying, you know, but sad, we'll not we're gonna do not we're gonna do that for that. But last, last, last, we're last, for, for, for our thing, for our, um, the main topic, or pro the hot topic. Yes. DLSS-5 is now out. Oh, God. DLSS5 is now out. Oh, God. DLSS5 is now out. Oh, God. and not going to lie, a lot of people are kind of, kind of seeing, like, why this looks like AI stop, AI slop. Right, we're, like, we can we can't see it, it's like, it's like, it's like, for this, uh, for those, uh, for those images. Oh, God. Oh God. There's a lot, there's a slight retouch. quote-un-cotes, light-retat. Like hyper-realism type of stuff. Yeah. Oh, God, that's, maybe okay in Starfield, but the, what, the other uncanny Valley, yeah, that's true only, the, especially anime games. Tawa, I'm laughing, I'm laughing in my workplace. Because the, the, you know, the pose about the Legend of Heroes, Thrill's in the Sky, FC, the so that's anime style for reason, but it's gonna hyper-realistic, which is kind of uncanny, ah god, and then the super Mario, the 3B, hyper-realistic, yeah, check this out, check this out, yeah, from this to this, on NVA 2K-27, on NBA 2K-27, from this to this. Oh, yikes. And then from this to, uh, to this. Oh, yikes. I mean, it works. This, there's a little, there's a little blood shot. This, now, me, mejo, mokey, the tchura. But, why, why it's being, why enhanced with AI. It is that, it is that, it is that, it is that, um, quite annoying, but we're not we're not lazy, like that, like, yeah, like, because generative AI, generative AI right now is, um, I mean, I get that, I get, I, I, I mean, I kind of get what they're going for, nah. Like they're like, it's either, you know, it's either, it's either, it's either, it's, it's, kind of, what, the, what, the, what, the, what, the, what, the, like, the, look, I'm not, I'm not into game devs or something like that, but, I kind of get what they're going for, because, so, whatever, whatever, the, like, it, like, for, no, for, you, the graphical, the graphical, uh, definity, uh, defenity, but that's, that word, yeah, definitely, definitely, there we go, yeah, something like that, but, but, that's what they're trying to do, but at the same time, it's just, they're just lazy. They're just too lazy, yeah. Yeah, I mean, for the most part, yes, because it's either, it's either tamad-tomad they, to optimize their stuff in PC games their, or they spend lots of money for just in AI Slap. Yeah, which is kind of, which is kind of. Ah, that's kind of, like, ah. But that explains that explains why in the graphic card, it's a processor, they'll just like new AI technology, like that's kind of, which is kind of, yeah, kind of, yeah, kind of, yeah, kind of, uh, yeah, kind of, uh, yeah, kind of, uh, what that, uh, what that's, what, see, that, in some of commercials, you, that's, you, I don't know, yeah, why it's new AI technology? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's gonna, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the processor, now with 10 times more AI energy power, whatever, it's just kind of, it's, it's, yeah, it's, it's, yeah, it's, it's, it's, yeah, it's, it's, yeah, it's, yeah, it's, it's, yeah, it's, Like, like, infomercial gibberish, gibru, like that. Yeah, that's right. Here, this is, this is, this is, mahaba, this topic our, oh, geez. By, our topic our, because, in our, back back, we're, we're going to say, why, we're going to say, why, why it's failed? the Icagang is an gaming convention, why, why, why did it be a, uh, making failed of an issue? Malalama we'll know that, in the back the Follow Gamer Podcast, macalapas, the other, paula. And we are back for the FollowGiver podcast. How about, Cigy, how are you doing? How are you doing again? This is. Ready now for the main dish, ready for the main dish, the main course, Ikara. Because, the The topic one is, failed gaming conventions, and why did it happen? Because, you know, you know what happened in, like, PGDX, you know what happened in GameCon, you know what happened in ESGS, you know what happened in Conquest, you know what happened in every single gaming convention right now. 3. PGDX, PGDX isa. No, there, 3, 3, PGDX, then I don't know if running for PGS, Philippine Game Show, and Hoyofest. That's just that three that, that's run a gaming convention at the moment, which is... Yeah, I don't know what happened. in the podventia that we're just, uh, I don't know why, I don't know why, and I don't know how, why, why, why, what's going to happen, what happened, uh, in games come last, um, last week, because, said, said, we are aware of stolen hardware. Yeah, that's the indie dev that's not-nacawan, right? Yeah, yeah, the indie dev that's the indie dev that's not, that is unfortunate news that, that's, this is detailed, wait, wait, wait, this, this, this is detailed, here, this is detailed, we are aware of stolen hardware and take the ports very seriously, and since many requests, we inform you about general security, uniform guards provide general security, individual stand security can be booked separately, and exhibitors are advised to ensure equipment against them. So basically, they, um, there's, there's no security in the logan. So, like, general security, and a lot of indie developers have been, like, get their things stolen, and a lot of bit cases reported to the police, and, sadly, the other other, I don't know if it may be back back, but probably not. Sadly. From what I've heard, from what I've heard? From what I've heard, from what I've heard, from what I've heard, from what I've heard, from what I've heard, from what, what I've heard, allegedly, yeah, allegedly, uh, yeah, okay, allegedly, which is, Kind of messed up, actually. The gamut you that you, but what the heck is wrong with you? Seriously, like, because if you, when you know, when you call you, it'll just you can't sira the vibe. The vibe. It's, you're, it's a vibe of, which is, a lot of people are, uh, disappointed, you can, and... Yeah, disappro. more disappointing, you know, the, you co-compromise you, the game dev, like, why? Seriously. Yeah, why that? Like, what is happening? Like, on Wednesday, we arrive our route, two laptops are gone, and a steam deck are gone. The device contains not only against the device, but also a personal company and critical information, so... We're talking about that we are playing those clips that are here on my, but check, check what they'll check what they're saying they'll because it's, it's hard, it's, it's pinagherapan, you know, no while. So, if, if we're, let's, let's see what what happened here, as far as I know. Yeah. Wait, just, like, I'm, it's, it is good, huh? It is, it is good, bah? Mahina. Maha'eminate? Yeah, that's, it's, manhine, it's, manhina, it's, manhina, it's, it. Wait, Why, why don't it's hina? Okay. Because I've seen what I've seen a lot of games have been stolen, but let's look, let's look, guys. That's a lot of... Right, so, yeah, yeah, unfortunately, wait, lad, double -checked my routing. Why, wait, lad, double-checked my why it's what's hilly the volumes you know, it's like, what's okay, we're okay, we are okay, we are okay, we are okay showcasing this year we brought our personal computers, two laptops, one in the different controllers for all people who can play the game and enjoy the experience of playing the game. And during the first night, we don't know exactly when or who who or how, they broke into the games from Spain booth and open the cabinet by force, they stole every... Oh my god Jesus, so basically, everything has been stolen, oh my god, so basically everything has been stolen, oh my god, now I've been wondering, no guard. That's that, yeah, I've been wondering, I've been wondering, that, like cordon, all of that, probably there's a probably, there's a probably inside job then for this one. Because why, why that's that's going to happen, right? That is, that is unacceptable, though. It's a weird, too, if that's weird, too theory, if that's not going to see them, yeah, maybe, maybe, there's, what, there's, there in the Oh, that's likely, that's likely, that's likely on. Because, it's not all that's gotta, eh. That's, oh my God, there's something that there's something that, there's a problem when it comes to conventions. It is just, it is just disappointing. It's just disappointing. that, why that's that what, what the point of things that why is the point of things that's that that's going to those things that need to, all of, all of, um, all of, um, events, because this is, of course, for security of those exhibitors, but... Hi, indie games have been screwed over again by conventions or something, right? Yeah, which is kind of, I don't know, it's not, I just, I really feel sorry to, what, like, I really feel sorry to, honestly. That's, yeah, but, but, but, but, like you said, like you said, like, it's, like, it's, like, Because I need to…
