 Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Primews, we got what five or six big stories For you today on this Monday before we get into that I do have to remind you we do have two copies of Super Mario 3D World plus Bowser's Fury that's being given away this week There is still time to enter head down to the description or the pin comment to find out how now our first story deals with Teria Taria I always mispronounce it. It's a fairly popular indie game That's basically on every platform and was planning to release on Google Stadia Unfortunately Andrew Spinks the main developer founder everything behind the game has have been having a lot of issues with his Google account It's actually been disabled for three weeks and he hasn't been able to let's just say Get a satisfactory response or in some cases any response from Google themselves He hasn't broken any of the terms of service as far as he can tell and doesn't understand why it's taking so damn long To get his Google account sorted out So because of that he has decided, you know what screw you Google I am no longer gonna use your services and beyond that I'm gonna actually not release my game on Google Stadia because he does not want to show any Support whatsoever for Google. I find this to be an interesting decision a little bit anti-consumer in a way Because I do think that we need to be a little bit more understanding of both sides of the story here for starters We are in the middle of a pandemic and admittedly I've had my issues getting hold of Google as well But they also have cut back their support staff quite, you know massively now I understand his perspective. He runs his business through there So he's had a Google email for 15 years with all his contacts. He can't access right now He can't access any of the apps on the app store on his phone because you got all registered through there now I could argue Maybe he should have a separate business account from personal because it kind of sounds like he's just been using the one account to do Everything whereas like I have separate emails for this exact reason because hey I got my personal email and then the business email Nathan at the center friend that net and then I got a personal I got a couple personal emails, but that's just me Not everybody does that even when I feel like they should just for logistical reasons You shouldn't as an example the account that you're running all your apps on your phone shouldn't be the same account You're using to run your company That's just my opinion, but honestly I'm sure Google will get a hold of him whether or not it gets sorted out Why would not he goes back on this and decides? Hey look we're going to bring the game back to Google stadia I don't know I'd feel like it's kind of petty, but also I understand the frustration when you you know When we were having the issue where Google you know literally jacked $4,000 from this YouTube channel over the course of a month and a half Just because they claimed we were breaking terms of service Not with the giveaways not with anything crazy going on that you could maybe potentially argue breaks terms of service No big guy having bots they claimed our views were bots and that I was paying a company to bot my channel Conveniently around the time the Super Mario 3D all-stars came out and my videos were blowing up because of that And I had nothing to do with it to be honest I think anything 3D all-stars that month was blowing up back in September But it doesn't matter it can be very difficult to get a hold of people But if I'm able to get a hold of managers through persistency and through multiple methods, I think he could have too I think one thing he never tried is reaching out on Twitter It's weird, but Twitter's support Actually responds like instantly in comparison to emailing them. Should it be that way? I have no idea, but maybe they just didn't cut back their their support team that runs those Twitter accounts Anyways, I'm sure it'll all get sorted out But for now Terry is no longer coming to Google stadia because the guy running it has his account blocked or banned or something With no explanation So I had a look at the story a couple times because I thought this was just a booster box So what we're talking about here is the Pokemon TCG the trading card game that I played a ton back in the day I still own several cards from back in the day including some first-edition ones And where this is important because we're talking about a sale that went down that set a new record for Pokemon trading cards So the entire complete first-edition set of Pokemon so this is back way back in the day first edition. We all know about the first edition Charizard's We're talking the entire base first-edition set from 1999 has been sold at auction for $666,000 it is a new all-time record for Pokemon card sales And when I thought I thought this was just a first-edition box because the box prices have been Skyrocketing ever since youtuber Logan Paul got into the business. We've been seeing prices at 300 400 450,000 so I thought this was like another first edition Just you know random pack box set, but nope. This is actually the complete set Which there are very few complete sets that actually exist now What's special about this one and what probably what drove that price is that every card in the set is rated a 10 Mint it is literally the best rating you can get in the trading card space and to have the entire set like that It's a pretty rare collection indeed So yeah, obviously first-edition Charizard in there and that card alone You know him back almost half of what he spent because that card is just so incredibly valuable But yeah, it's it's pretty interesting just to see that this is a thing that the Pokemon like collecting is just getting more And more popular and it's not even just the old stuff the evolution set There's been a lot of Pokemon card sets are just skyrocketing in price because Pokemon is just becoming as popular as it's ever been It's like the trading card business has just come full circle and here we go again It's the 90s all over against the early 2000s and Pokemon trading cards are the hot thing in the market So we finally have sort of kind of a roundabout update on Bayonetta 3 at least Why we're not hearing anything about Bayonetta 3 because people were man development must not be going well for Bayonetta 3 We haven't heard a damn thing about it And yeah, sure. Hideki come here every now and then would be like oh development's going well But it's the same update he's been given for three years So is it really going well or is there problems in paradise? Well Hideki come here and a Tushi and Abba two of the founders of Platinum games Within a recent interview where they talked about their upcoming game They are self-publishing called Project GG and they talked about hey, why are we talking about this game? Well, because we're self-publishing and we can talk about it And I can come here when it's far to say hey look I can literally post a screenshot a tweet I can do say anything I want because this is our game They noted and this is where Bayonetta 3 comes in why they can't talk about other projects They're working on and that's because the ability to talk about them advertise say anything is up to the publisher So in this case the reason we have heard Nothing about Bayonetta 3 since it was announced is because Nintendo told them you can't say anything In fact the words Hideki come here uses to say development is going well is the stock standard response Nintendo Okayed so in other words development might be going well We might not be going well We wouldn't know but we're not gonna find out about it from the people actually making the game because Nintendo said we want to control Everything and we don't want to talk about it. So for all we know Bayonetta 3 could literally be done It could be finished gone gold 100% complete and we won't even know because Nintendo is gonna decide We want to release it at this year at this slot this you know we pick and choose where they want to put things so Yeah, for all we know Bayonetta 3 is done But again, we don't really get to control when we hear about it and nor do the people making it So it is whether it is so Halo might be coming to switch or maybe even PlayStation 5 I'm not even sure Exactly where basically they do updates on this place called Halo waypoint where they give you updates on Whether or not the game is being patched whether or not the game is getting new features and all that upcoming things with the series And in their most recent one they put out on Friday. There's a one little line in there Just one tiny bitty piece that says hey, you know, maybe a new way to play in a new form So kind of like hey maybe on switch now the reason switches brought up for this so much is because switches long been rumored and Speculated to be getting Halo games since Microsoft has been putting some of their indie games on there And it would make sense for like a master chief kind of collection game to be on switch because it's not really a direct Competitor to what Microsoft is offering and it doesn't really affect their You know their cloud games X cloud or game pass like people aren't people aren't going to go out of their way to not buy Xbox or not getting a game pass or X cloud to play the games on switch It's just if you already have an audience for your games on switch. Why not just bring over your older ones We're not talking about getting the next Halo game Halo infinite on switch That's no one's talking about that, but it would be kind of cool if you go back and play some of the classics in some form So I don't know that's just something that's out there I personally am not sure if that one line even really means anything if we're just completely honest as gamers It could literally just be talking about VR. It could just be talking about You know, I don't even know bring bringing out X cloud on a different platform So like X cloud right now is in beta on Android phones So maybe there's talking about hey delivering it to X cloud on new platforms new ways to play I have no idea it could mean literally anything But obviously people are talking switch because you know, we kind of want halo on switch if we're just being completely honest AMD's answer to DLSS deep learning super sampling has been in the works for a little bit of time And it was announced at the same time the 6,000 series of graphic cards were announced And I want to glance my notes quick on this because there's a couple particulars I wanted to get right here first up their answer is being called Fidelity FX super resolution And we're talking about this because of a AMD leaker called pro hard VR Who is actually been really really accurate with AMD leaks in the past and what this person has said is that we are Going to get their super fidelity thing Happening this spring. This is important because for now the big massive advantage Nvidia has with their 3,000 series of cards or 2,000 series of cards is deep Learning super sampling the ability to essentially put a game out at 1080p But super sample it up to 4k with very little noticeable degradation in quality And then you're able to get really really good frame rates right now It's a technology that Andy doesn't have and it's interesting as Andy's GPUs They're new line the 6,800 6,800 XT 6,900 XT are actually really really good cards That are massively viable alternatives for the 3,000 series of GPUs But without DLSS for gamers it can be kind of a Maybe we should hold out well when this comes out which supposedly the earliest it might be arriving is March We can obviously expect to see very similar technology that DLSS is now how well it works I don't know it really took until DLSS 2.0 before DLSS started actually being viable So I don't know how many iterations of this it's going to take It'd be interesting if AMD gets it right right away since AMD traditionally has had driver and other issues that it takes Years from them to sort out I run a 5,700 XT in my editing rig and Literally the GPU really wasn't even viable till last year because it took several driver updates to make it work But anyways, yeah AMD is getting in on the DLSS game with their own technology and it looks like it's happening pretty soon All right, so Daniel Ahmed otherwise known as ZHUJX He has put out there some sales figures for the Microsoft series S slash X Essentially he said the Microsoft series S slash X has shipped 3.5 million he didn't really say that number he said about 1 million less than the PlayStation 5 And we know the PlayStation 5 shipped 4.5 million so that puts Microsoft right around 3.5 million now We're never gonna get exact figures because Phil Spencer and Microsoft say hey We're not gonna give exact sales data on our systems anymore Of course you say that if somehow series SNX passes 100 million you know we're gonna hear about it, but They have actually Technically talked about how well the system is being sold in fact They stated as recently as two weeks ago that the Microsoft series S slash X is The most successful launch of a Microsoft platform in the console space history It has gone on to have the best dollar sales and the best unit sales So what we know is it is the fastest selling Xbox basically ever released Kudos to them for that obviously just like the PlayStation 5 We there's always these top of PlayStation 5 stock PlayStation 5 stock the Xbox series SNX is out of stock as well Every unit coming off that manufacturing line is gone So as fast as they can make them is as fast as they are selling and they're doing this without a killer game But at least you can look towards PlayStation 5 be a quick way You know we you have the better version of Miles Morales, but beyond that there is you know demon souls or whatever dark souls We have we have a game there that people will want to play that you could only play on PlayStation 5 Then again Microsoft recently watched them launch the medium Not you know the same tier of game more indie more high-end indie, but I think it's pretty good I know review ratings have it down on like the 70s by them playing it a little bit. I think it's pretty good I'm just saying I really liked some of the mechanics in that game that nice horror game But it is a horror game which tend not to be the most popular of games But I'm just throwing out there that the sales are looking good For everyone Everyone's selling well like can we literally just say at this point in February of 2021 all three major platform holders are selling well Remember this is an industry where traditionally only two platforms can sell well not three and right now we have three Selling like ballers man. Just ballin Shot call in 20-inch rim. All right. Anyway, so Thank you for doing it. I'm better over just from the tenor prime That's all I got for you guys today. We'll be back with another prime news episode tomorrow I'm hoping you like my coat down here. It's kind of chilly. So I styled up a little bit We're a nice little jacket. All right, guys. I will catch you in the next video
