What's up, everybody? Welcome to Taijin Game Scoop. I'm your host, Damon Hadfield. And joining me this

week are Sam Claiborne. Hey, it's great to be here. Justin Davis. Scoop. And Nick Limon.

I'm back, baby. We got a great show for you this week. We had a really big PlayStation State of

Play yesterday, really, you know, literally very big. It was over an hour long. Tons of games, tons of surprises. I think it was a pretty good show this time around. So there's so much to talk about. New God of War. New Castlevania. Oh my gosh. We made it happen. Remember, we were just talking about this. Not too many episodes ago. Someone wrote in, why isn't Konami bringing back Castlevania?

I'm going to take credit for it.

Yeah, I mean, we've been asking for 18 or 19 years on this show. We made it happen. What can we, what can we manifest next? I want a new F0. Yeah, I'm thinking chrono trigger. But the biggest priority should be burger time, though, don't you think, Sam? obviously. Yeah, that's a good point, although it didn't work out last time.

I'm going to say Kingdom Hearts.

Yeah.

It's finally. already should be burger time though don't you think Sam? Yeah, that's a good point, although it didn't work out last time. I'm gonna say Kingdom Hearts. Yeah, finally get that Kingdom Hearts 4 out the door. Let's just jump in. But first, they opened up with Kina Scars of Cosmorum, sequel to Kina, what is a, bridge of something? Bridge of spirits. Bridge of spirits. Which I never played, but I always heard good things should I

play this game did anyone play it keep the first Kina I think it'd be great to play while

the kids are watching yeah feels like a nice like or maybe watch while the kids are playing yeah

no I thought I thought the sequel looked great and I actually had the exact same thought as you

David I saw the new one I'm like oh my god this looks rad and made me feel, not guilty, but it made me feel like I should go back and check out the original. Because like it didn't, the original didn't really make too much of a mark on me when I was watching marketing material for it. But I never, yeah, I never went through it. I think it's a little simplistic. Like it's more, It may be good for... Yeah, it's used younger. It's more like, you know, even younger than Ratcheting Kling. Ratcheting and Clayk has trouble keeping my attention because it's a little easy sometimes. But it's, it was a, it had a good art style and it's very beautiful. And this looks like it doubles down on that, right? Like it just looks great. Yeah, I think that's my biggest criticism of the first game. Kind of simple, but this one, based on what I'm seeing here, it looks like they're starting to add a little bit of pizzazz, a little bit of spice to the combat and whatnot. So I'm very curious to see if this adds the challenge I was looking for.

It made me think of Beyond Good and Evil.

I could see that.

Just from the vibes perspective. Like I don't know that it's the same kind of tonally, but like, you know, the bow staff combat and whatnot.

You got a cool, like peacock horse cool yeah sick wolf maybe a lot of

wolves in games recently a lot of 2d uh side scrolling games also recently sam yeah that's true

yeah we'll be getting to this is not one of them i'm not mad about it no and keenan's not one of them

if you happen to be listening to this and did not see the footage kina scars of Scars of Cosbora is not a 2D side scrolling game. Looks very cool, though. I think that's coming this year, PS5 and PC for now. Pretty surprised that that's getting a sequel, by the way. It's not like it made a splash and then continued to be a buzz game. It just made a splash and then went away. So that's great. Good for them. Yeah. I mean, like I said, I frequently hear good things about Kina. People like family friendly game. Yeah. We got to see Resident Evil Requiem again. And I'm well past the point where I need to see anything more. It shows too much. They just get too much. I like the ending of that trailer. Oh my gosh.

Dude, I wish I didn't see that in the trailer.

I wish they would say that for the game.
