I feel them skipping out on producing the amazing skits they usual do and just releasing a backlog of their usual content with a Christmas theme over the course of a week is pretty representative of their output this year.

What about the PS4 pro makes it a hot mess? I feel like they've been going out of their way to make it sound like it's worse than it is. I've had zero issues with anything at all. It's fine.

That's what I meant. It's a reach to say the Pro is a hot mess. You misunderstood me

I think it's because Brad follows digital foundry and he brought up a few cases in some bombcasts when Pro just came out and where the games were performing worse than their OG counterparts.

They didn't even acknowledge that all of those cases have already been patched and fixed now. The only outlier that performs worse on Pro right now is Skyrim, I think.

Ah well. I'll forgive them this once.

So I just signed up for Premium for the first time, you guys got any recommendation where I should start? There is a ton of content to go through, I'm kind of lost to where I should start haha.

People saying things other than Backflips and Bioforge, Load our Last Souls, and Random PC Game have a short memory and/or don't know where the good stuff is hiding.

I still think "Best Debut" is a weird category and ends up just rewarding games for not being sequels. Which is kind of sad? Like who do you compare Firewatch and Overwatch?

The FMV and CBS show parodies are still some of my favorite things the site has ever produced. But I guess if the inspiration isn't there you can't force it, and the distance issue these days probably limits their ambitions. I get what you're saying but I like that that mix it up too.

The software strategy was definitely not.

Sony seemed to think they could hoist it on third parties at the last second and everyone would drop everything to make it a priority.

Yup. I bought one and it still confuses me - I have to get most info on the Pro patch situation from GAF rather than the Playstation UI/store.

Brad talked about editing down the podcast audio. The podcast and video are roughly the same length (actually, video is shorter, perhaps from not having breaks). So does that mean Drew edited the video as well?

And is anyone else upset at the idea of editing deliberations? If there's no NDA / nasty shit in there, why not keep it all in, or at least as an option? This idea that a crew of people who regularly put out 3 hour podcasts needs to be abridged in any way is insane to me.

Excellent, will definitely pick it up when it gets a good price drop.

This I agree on. Digital foundry and GAF have done a much better job of selling a Pro to people than Sony have so far.

Superhot getting in top 3 over Stardew Valley
in best debut is a goddamn fucking travesty. That game is going to get fucked in every category because nobody but Dan actually cares about it and that bums me out.

Threw a tag for people who are behind on the podcast.

I....think you're reading too much into it.

Giant Bomb has, to my knowledge, only ever made one censorship cut and that was very understandable.

Yep this is how I see it, Sony did not make a compelling argument themselves. Other people did, but even then I just look at the Pro and don't have any reason to pick one up. Even for better looking exclusives, I'll just get a PS5 whenever that comes out and enjoy future exclusives on that while going back and replaying some older titles at Higher fidelity. Also stuff like no 4k Blu Ray is crazy dumb.

I mean the PS5 is gonna have to do that though riiiiiight

Good on them for talking about the palmer lucky stuff. I know people wanted them to avoid that topic but I'm glad they didn't . Major props to Alex for not holding back either

Brad only edits uhms and such out of the podcast, and music in.
They feel as strongly about unedited as we do, I think.

those files don’t come out of the recorder ready to go, there’s a ton of off-air junk to cut out, transitions to clean up, ads to produce and insert, etc. still a fair amount of post work to do on the audio even though we record “live” now. in other words, i’m not editing out any “content,” it’s mostly clean-up to make it all sound nice and professional-ish
