| 0:00.0 | What's good in it is July 28th, 2022 and you will sing to Waypoint Radio |
| 0:51.7 | I just hope that people after we had that conversation some months back about the flailing lips of them that actually what you should do for the podcast this week is not listen to this like |
| 1:04.7 | noise gates and I'm doing fancy stuff with the audio is actually just hear these raw wave files burn these put them on a bunch of different MP3 players |
| 1:14.7 | I want to play a wave file I don't know put that around your house and then sync up with time.js to see if you can listen to the podcast in real time see if you can figure out where the mark in the track is and then get the conversations to line up the worst part of it was when I had to go into the office with bundles of wave files |
| 1:33.7 | in my arms and as I was walking through the office did trip in the fall spilling them everywhere. It was really rough in the middle of the office shouting my wave files |
| 1:46.7 | I sure hope that's really tough. I sure hope that road they have right in the middle of the office with the deep puddles I hope a card and drive through it as you as you fumbled for your wave files and get you absolutely covered. |
| 2:00.7 | Rob I'll be honest the road in the middle of the office. Yeah I did in fact have a little next to it and the wave files got all wet and so the most recent episode sounds a bit weird. |
| 2:11.7 | It's because the files got all got got wet I'm just lucky to pillar didn't bite me again. |
| 2:16.7 | Yeah absolutely you got to look out for that that honestly like now that that has happened I became keenly aware of like oh there's all sorts of slightly scary architecture in this in this building. |
| 2:29.7 | Almost as if vice was not meant to inhabit that space. Anyway speaking of things being under construction I guess Patrick today we sort of a story came through Bloomberg Jason Shryer he done it again. |
| 2:51.7 | We now have some details about GTA 6 which is very funny by the way he also did the coat or stuff this week. Yeah that also like already happened yesterday we're like hey isn't it a weird that the company that is built itself on just porting games old star wars games the switch said we're also going to remake one of the most ambitious and beloved RPGs of all time what what could go what could go wrong. |
| 3:18.7 | Is that like any many. |
| 3:22.7 | We're at least think of 2022 and the developers were like 2025 at best like wow like that is one of the most striking to like distances between reality expectations but anyway that is a very failure to communicate type issue I guess that just means like. |
| 3:41.7 | Oh man I like I'm gonna have to remain spoiler free on the end of coach or for at least like four more years we just had that I don't know that game. |
| 3:51.7 | Yeah buddy I actually think this is I might just have to play coach or I think I think if the thought is this game is in shambles we don't know when it's going to come out and then you just vaguely here 2025 I think the thought is there is that if you want to play coach or just go. |
| 4:09.7 | Who even knows what the world is going to be like in 2025 gather gather you Jedi we still making games then who knows. |
| 4:19.7 | Well they'll probably still be making GTA they might not be out given the track record but yeah Pat you want to take us through what we what we now seem to know about GTA 6. |
| 4:30.7 | Yeah so as you mentioned there's a report in Bloomberg from Jason Shryer from the Taku and yeah it's an interesting piece that I kind of delves into what we know about the development history of GTA 6 so far GTA 6 a game that interestingly rock star company that doesn't like to talk about what they're doing take two. |
| 4:50.7 | Who owns rock star a company that broadly doesn't like to talk about what it's doing because it sort of sells itself as when they arrive they will be important and they will sell a lot and that is basically kind of true with a lot of the stuff that they do. |
| 5:06.7 | And like recently as they were winding down red dead redemption to online updates like there's going to do maintenance but they're not going to be doing like broad content updates and the way that they have continued to service GTA online they finally had to acknowledge right yeah okay like no shit we're making GTA 6 and both I need details or like a release sort of schedule just sort of yes of course we are making the game that you think we are making because the last game GTA 5. |
| 5:35.7 | I believe has sold 165 million copies and is like the second best selling game of all time yes that is a number and a lot of that is on the backs of GTA online which has been wildly successful since that original game launch anyway. |
| 5:52.7 | This piece has a lot of like interesting little anecdotes you know like for example it opens with the cops and crooks a multiplayer mode for GTA online it was in development when George Floyd was murdered and they went not going to do that and that is like as part of a broader as this piece content to like a new ish rock star one in which like by this story is painting and I it's given some added credit |
