So we're going to touch on that.

1:11.9

We'll be able to chat a little bit after the interview. But yeah, we had some hands-on time with it, which I know, Brett, you loved Returnal. So you were very excited to die back in. I didn't love it more. I did not finish Returnal, but I was very excited to start this. And I have exciting thoughts. exciting exciting we're also going to get into next week's new releases. We've got some news that you can use. If you so choose, we'll probably talk about RE9. If I had to take a guess, that's Resident Evil 9. Or REQA requiem. I do just walk around calling it RE9, but the Q and Revenue. That's fair. I have a fun little anecdote about that for later in the show. Oh, I'd like to learn more. The nine in the queue. What about the giraffe head on the Resident Evil 6 number? Do you know anything about that? Keep it moving. Okay. Let's smooth things over with next week's new releases what do you think all information

2:04.5

subject to change without notice uh i'll kick it off with this first one here south of midnight

2:10.7

is coming to PS5 on march 31st i've been very interested to check this one out from compulsion

2:16.3

compulsion i love me a good adventure game. And being from the South, I'm very interested. Yeah. The art style just looks really beautiful. Gorgeous. So I love anything that sort of digs into local lore and things like that as well. So I'm excited about this one. Yeah, that's a really interesting interesting studio they always tackled some really interesting stuff they did a we happy

2:36.1

few right compulsion and contrast before that so I hope I got all that right but I

2:40.7

think I did also coming March 31st legacy of Kane ascendance that's coming to

2:45.6

PS5 that's a 2d adventure is it not Chris yeah it's a 2d action platformer it's I think it's the first new entry in the series in quite some time. But they got the original voice actors, Kane and Raziel. Rosiel. Rosiel. Yes. Goth hero to all of us like 17-year-olds back in the day on PS1. But the original voice actors are returning. So it's a prequel pixel art design. But yeah, I know we had some exciting Legacy of Kane announcements in State of Play recently. We did. So I know there's some excitement for more from that series. They definitely have been digging into the legacy there, which is pardon upon. But it's cool to see because that's a great IP. I think that first game, Legacy of Kane, might be coming. As part of the 30th anniversary stuff, I think, 96, 97, I think gets into that when the franchise first started. So long running. Yeah, you know, it's funny at the time I never played the original legacy of Kane Blood Omen, is what you're referring to. And it's available now as part of the classics collection, I think, in PlayStation Plus.

3:43.2

It's on the store and they brought it back out. And I was like, you know, I never played this? It's wildly different from all the other ones. Very different game. Yeah, it's like 2D sprites overhead. It's like Diablo or something. It's really interesting, though. It's hard. games back then were hard so i couldn't get too far but i definitely got it a high school like a friend

3:59.8
