 This is game chat with one episode 129 new frontiers for high res There man game chat with one up. Welcome to the show Now here's your host born on McCall with all the gaming news of this week By the way, that's me Greetings folks and welcome to episode 129 of game chat. We got a great show lined up for you Thank you for coming by listening to the show we stream this so we do this create the show every Wednesday For you all to listen to the best gaming news that we can find throughout the week So that you can Tell your friends Yeah, you like I know what's going on in gaming. Anyway Happy while day or while weekend or while day It's like the longest while weekend ever last seven days people taking days and weeks off of work for this new Wow battle for Azeroth expansion. You probably have heard of it Mm-hmm. Just crazy. It's also we had monster on a world release This has been a crazy week, but we got some good news Some some spicy articles to talk about for game chat one episode 129 And I hope you all enjoyed the show. So without further ado, let's get right to it If our first story we're gonna talk about high-risk studios I caught one of this article actually today high-risk studios makers of the smite tribes ascend tribes ascend and you know other games like realm royale and recently with Let's see some might overwatch or our paladins. I was thinking about overwatch, but the paladin shooter So those are the three big games that are housed up with With with high risk studios at the moment paladins smite and realm royale Funny, I should mention three different games because this article talks about how high-risk studios has decided to split into three new studios The move is aimed to help development teams Fulfill their maximum potential Man, my head's just spinning off of this. They're gonna. They're gonna name the studios Titan forge games evil mojo games and heroic leap games I Think the only one that kind of sounds decent to me is Titan forge Evil mojo. What why what heroic leap? Okay, so these three studios are gonna operate independently And they're gonna focus on each one of the games Titan forge will be managing smite evil mojo will be looking over paladins and Heroic leap games will develop realm Royale So all of these studios and again, they're aimed to design or they're aimed to this was aimed to help these developers Stay more focused on their tasks. I got a wonder that maybe there was some internal I Don't know chaos going on where I guess a lot of people may have been asked to move over to another project and help with some bug or or The problem was a lot of cross development that may have hindered progress Because I This is not common to me that a company that makes multiple games will split into multiple studios Where each studio works on a single game? Talk about a siloed development process I mean, I don't I don't know what what to make of this I've never seen it before it may have happened, but I've never why I don't recall seeing this Just imagine a blizzard did that or epic did that, you know others because EA is just like we're just gonna make separate studios To work on every game now EA sports is you know is one that kind of comes to mind and You know, you got dice over there, but those were acquisitions Most of those were acquisitions. I think so Hmm. It's this kind of a head scratcher. I don't know what to make of this What do you guys think? I mean Titan Forge heroic leak evil mojo heroic leap evil mojo Standalone studios to work on these games. Now. I don't think it's gonna affect the games at all I think the games will probably move on as Expected and probably worst-case scenario. It'll be the same business as usual Honestly, I think it will maybe foster more I don't know focused efforts as they say fulfill their maximum potential. I It might be a waste of money though. I Mean why do this? Why don't you just re retool and read down on revamp? What's going on internally? It's weird So check it out guys over on pcgamer.com. They got the details high res splits into three new studios Titan Forge games evil mojo games and heroic leap of games To coincide with smite Paladins and realm Royale and for next story winners continue to talk about high-risk studios and realm Royale in particular Real Royale was a kind of a surprise success a few months ago when it hit. I think a lot of people were surprised that It was so hot on twitch and also the concurrent player base was as high as a hundred and five thousand on steam But this article over on get hype comm talks about how realm Royale has lost 93% of its player base after peaking at 105k concurrent two months ago on steam It's already lost all those viewers and all those all those. I guess you say players in two months time And it makes a great point if you talk if you read this article It says one of the reasons realm Royale successful early access debut was the positive feedback Was the positive feedback from players for being one of high res is most polished games Players who like fort nice aesthetics, but don't enjoy the building mechanics We're happy to have another option to the BR genre that looked and played similar to epics bring out breakout hit But Apparently it was just on the surface because if you they talk about the mixed reviews half of the reviews have turned negative That were probably positive before on steam Players were citing issues with the balancing of the game's weapons. Excuse me and hits cam And that's something I've heard in the twitch circles is that the game is grossly in balance Is that there's some there's some cool game mechanics in play? There's some nice features. There's some good ideas But right now the balancing is so out of whack and just so just so bad That players have moved on they've gone either back to PUBG or going back to To fortnight and I agree that I think a lot of people played this game because they didn't want to build They just is they wanted the fortnight type gameplay, but they just didn't want to have to build all these elaborate structures they just wanted to fight and That's why I mentioned players probably went back to PUBG because I think a lot of PUBG players today who tried Excuse me who tried fortnight either didn't like the art style Or they didn't like that you have to build as much and they got people who just call who just dismiss it as a kids game Which I just I don't even consider Their opinions because of the art style. Oh, it's a kids game. I Don't know where you've been in gaming the past 20 years but wow This is a this is big news because they they recruited a lot of big people according to this article Now was that was actually there This is a skill shot and keep stars a hundred thousand dollar weekly tournament Which is now The only time popular streamers like ninja summer 1g and others still play real more y'all live on their toys channels So these big big tournaments are keeping the game in the public's eye, but for how long? But for how long man The radical heights and culling to you know deaths were a big thing in the past as well that definitely gonna affect this is gonna loom over the head of this game because BR is a very volatile genre and Right now only a couple are standing out stick about it. I mean all these BR games are coming out left and right, but The only one surviving the test of time so far. It's PUBG in fortnight Hmm and We got other games like battle, right which are gonna be releasing a battle royale mode in the next couple of months and it looks decent, but Isn't enough isn't enough to survive there. They're gonna charge for that The folks at battle, right? They're gonna charge for their battle royale game Charge money. It's not gonna be free. PUBG is not free either But fortnight is So who's gonna take down the fortnight crown who's gonna destroy fortnight because Let's just think back. I mean less than a year ago PUBG looked untouchable PUBG looked untouchable. It looked like they were gonna be the wow of shooters The numbers were just in insane over a million concurrence on steam that was unheard of So what's going to happen Now, you know that fortnight has taken this crown and it seems to be growing Looks like nobody's gonna even touch fortnight. So I Guess in situations like this It's like wow, the only companies that can kill these games are the companies themselves So the only company that could kill fortnight or the only game that can kill fortnight is fortnight The only game that can kill pub G is pub G, you know, that's what people were saying And some of that rings to be true Definitely rings to be true. Check it out guys Get hyped by some nice charts and graphs talking about the viewership on twitch The steam concurrency and so on about how rum royale has just lost almost all of their momentum Will they be able to gain it back? Check it out guys and for our next story. We're gonna talk about monster hunter world I ended up purchasing this game on PC even though I didn't I'm gonna be putting on the YouTube video explaining that because I really I really was on the disappointed end of monster hunter world on the ps4 And I'll talk about that a bit but the story I want to talk about now as I have been living this problem on monster on the world PC is that there's a bunch of connection errors going on Now if you don't know what I'm talking about monster on the world is a co-op game where you fight monsters together you can fight together with people online and You would match make with these people and You would help them complete their missions or help them complete a fight. You could do it with friends You could do it with strangers Cool thing is that if you find yourself in a bond you can fire up an SOS flair and random players from around the world Well, I guess I'll say close to you Could join and help you out Now the issue is is that this This is kind of frustrating because you get in a fight or you'd be helping somebody and you just randomly get disconnected to the tune of like 50 to 60 percent of your online matches get DC at some point Which is kind of disheartening it is really really disheartening especially when you're getting into it You're almost done. The thing is almost dead and then all of a sudden it freezes and then you disconnect Oi, I went through that way too many times on stream way too many times is something that I hope they address and quickly I should say Because this article on the steam community from August 13th has stated just that they said that We have been receiving numerous reports that players are experiencing connection errors several times after they depart on quest We are currently investigating the cause of this and are working with valve to resolve the issue as soon as possible We will keep you informed of further Developments in this matter. We thank you for your patience and apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused so All we can do is wait and I think every time like I've been streaming this on my live stream at Twitch.tv slash Buona every time it comes up or every time I'm playing and people say have they fixed the connection issues yet? Have they addressed the disconnects I'm like no this it's still going on it's still happening and I really believe I mean As much as I like to blame the developer steam has been having some bumpy issues since they updated their steam client to that latest version Both performance wise or you might own my machine and also connectivity There's been a lot of bumpy bump bumps and bruises man They got it. They got a lot of work to do on this new steam client. So I really think it's related to that I don't think as much as I want to blame monster hunter. I don't I don't know Though I really haven't tried any other games on steam To connect and do multiplayer yet. So I can't really substantiate that claim but still But still I can't help but think because Can't help but think that because that that client is kind of piggy It's it's pretty bloated. It's not streamlined at all. It feels very bloated Very fat like they really need to trim a lot of features or trim a lot of just code off of it I don't know they need to optimize it. There's a word. I'm looking for it needs to get optimized So check the story out guys over on steam community.com This is probably the only ding against monster on the world. This game has sold more. It's the biggest game this year It has broken all the records I shouldn't say records. It's the top seller this year It was really really high like I think 300 and something K on steam Something really really high. It was really really high currency player count and Hmm Just looking at my steam friends list. There's a ton of people playing this game like in any given moment So it's quite popular amongst the steam community So this is probably the biggest thing if you see mixed reviews if you see bad reviews They're either crash related problems or it's probably You know a majority of the reviews are probably still the connection error So let's hope it gets resolved guys check it out over a steam community comm they got the details over there And for our final story, we're gonna talk about torchlight man Talk about an old blast from the past some good memories of torchlight one and two from the then the runic games and We're gonna talk about torchlight and an announcement that was made a few days ago, which kind of confused me a new torchlight franchise from perfect world called torchlight frontiers and I was a little bit concerned about this because I didn't see any type of information at the time about runic games or any of the runic games developers all I saw was perfect world and It was this vague trailer about torchlight and Fighting things and monsters and and that was it. It was like I didn't know what type of game it was I didn't know if it was gonna be an ARPG still or if it was gonna be a tower defense Or I didn't know what it was gonna be. It really didn't define itself very well from the trailer So today, thankfully, I saw a follow-up video of Eric Schaefer former head of runic games, which is really really, you know, settled my mind It's a developer diary video about a new studio called extra extra games. I think it's called extra games Extra yeah And he goes on to say that, you know, how the studio was formed and how a couple years ago they wanted to do this and That they have come together now. They formed a studio in California. He's brought back some runic developers He's brought some people a bunch of his friends that he knew and They're developing this torchlight game called torchlight frontiers. The good news is that it's going to be an MMO ARPG Which makes me really happy because that's a genre that's kind of come to fruition more recently with like Marvel heroes and other games like that and It's really really cool to play MMO ARPGs and up until now torchlight has been more of a, you know, single player with some co-op Optional stuff to it. Sorry some some co-op optional stuff to it, but it never had an MMO feel so now we're gonna get torchlight in an MMO capacity and I'm kind of excited about it now that I'm like, oh, okay before I was kind of confused I was like, what is I thought frontier was just not frontier. I thought I thought a perfect world was just gonna be taking assets From them and just making something to make money off the assets I was like, oh, what are they doing the torchlight and then when I saw familiar names? I saw developers and I saw what they were doing. I was immediately put at ease and I love the torchlight franchise Let me tell you and I'm so happy that it's back and I'm really really happy that it's gonna be back in an MMO ARPG capacity I'm gonna be following this one closely. You're gonna hear me talking about this a lot Pretty much every time there's a new story. I'm probably gonna be talking about it here Because I love torchlight man, so check this story out. I got both the YouTube videos I got the I got the original trailer that was released and I had to develop a diary video where Eric Schaefer talks about Talks about what the studio is and what their goals are so we're gonna be following this one very closely guys check it out It's up on YouTube Let's go torchlight frontiers Yeah, and that concludes our show Well, that was bumpy.
