Lara Croft Can't Be Boring Again - Easy Allies Podcast - 3/21/18

Thought I would leave my Toys R Us story as well. When I was a kid my Mom would take me. I'd hang out in the video game section dreaming of the same item. Neo-Geo. Man I couldn't believe how amazing King of the Monsters was. It looked amazing at that time. I also remember that it was a staggering $600 and I couldn't even blame my Mom for not spending that much. Thanks Toy's R Us...you'll be missed.

Right on man. Everybody has to deal with stuff in life. It might not be all the same, but is dose not mean we all do not have various trials & hardships to face: Hollywood actors are no different. .....And yeah, and any Actor doing any kind of stunt work in a motion picture is impressive, because honestly they do not really have to- but It will ultimately make the film better if they do. Thats what makes some of the Mission Impossible sequences so much more engaging to the audience watching it- they are clearly seeing the character involved they have connected with in all the moment to moment action. With that said: I am personally super stoked for "Edge of Tomorrow 2" .

Also the Hadoken & Shoryuken are in fact "Gestures" that do a small amount of damage, and can be equipped your character with out wearing the Ryu "costume" Armor. Pretty sweet, and well worth the 4 or (8) dollars to ironically slay Rathalos with a Dragon Punch.

I love how Huber just casually mentions “Doc Brown Spider Monster” and everyone already knows what exactly he means. Hah

I just wanted to leave a memory of TOYS R US that always sticks out in my mind when I think of that place. I was around 6 or 7 years old at the time, and we always looked for N64 games to buy. My brother and I saw Conker's Bad Fur Day, and begged our parents to get it. They of course said no, but we couldn't understand why. Fast forward a few years to when we moved across our state, and a pawn shop was located within a mile of our house. My brother and I went in to see what N64 games they had, since it was still our most recent console and saw that beautiful squirrel behind the glass. We payed 5 bucks for it, and ran home to play it. Conker's Bad Fur Day is a great in my mind, even if it's not in the Hall of Greats yet.

Casino Royale had a bathroom fight but it was more impressive for character building rather than the actual fight. Maybe that's what SOTTR needs for it's next trailer.

Samuli Vuorinen

You absolutely can use the Paragon assets in your own Unreal Engine game. Asset flipping is a massive scam cottage industry making a lot of money based on free / cheap (pirated) assets off the store. Definitely something worth looking into.

LWMedia

Cable Guy with Jim Carry has a GREAT bathroom fight scene.

That's the Phantom of the Garage, just some creep who wears a stupid mask and sings hauntingly beautiful melodies.

Easy Allies

Who's the figure reflected in the multi-colored EZA art? I started noticing it at the 29:47-48 mark, saw reflections throughout the rest of the podcast.

I think next gen consoles are further away than people think. Late 2020 at the absolute earliest. The PS4 would cannibalize its sales and XBOX just released the XBOX One X. The PS4 has sold more consoles in each subsequent year and shows no signs of slowing down. Why would Sony release a console next year that, in all reality, wouldn't be much different than the Pro? With Microsoft, I think they need to concentrate on making games since I honestly believe that the XBOX One X is going to be pretty comparable to whatever the PS5 will be. I think Microsoft is going to keep iterating for the future, at least for one more future system.

GW Fawkes

I'm glad Jones didn't say Alexa order such and such... he set mine off and she said I'm sorry I can't help you with that one when asked about Goldblum's latest film LoL L&R.

Michael Seaward

Toys R Us are/were big in Sweden too!

Sonny Laguna

Correction ?? Ok, you guys won't pick this up, but here is a correctin for yha for everytime you guy's say the Switch is underpowered ! I've always known this, but now the dev. from Ark has publicly stated that the switch is not actually underpowered, that it is hardly any different from the PS4/Xbone but that the most limiting factor are indeed the gamecards, they are very expensive and don't have a lot of space, that is the most important factor of games not being ported or slimmed down for switch (like Dooms multiplayer). Cheers !

CORRECTION: Regarding the next gen discussion on lighting, Unreal engine is absolutely selling their next tech on lighting. It's called ray tracing and it was displayed in this year's GDC event. More information can be found on this forum.(please take a moment to see the video in the first post, it looks amazing! All in real time!): <a href="https://www.resetera.com/threads/epic-games-demonstrates-real-time-ray-tracing-in-ue4-with-ilmxlab-nvidia-star-wars-demo.31064/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.resetera.com/threads/epic-games-demonstrates-real-time-ray-tracing-in-ue4-with-ilmxlab-nvidia-star-wars-demo.31064/</a>

What I think is so crazy about Tom Cruise is that he does a lot of his stunts himself. You remember the scene when he was hanging on the door outside the plane in the last one? He really did that. The helicopter chase? He really did that. Hanging underneath the helicopter? Yap, also real. The scene in the trailer where he jumps from one building to the other? He did that, broke his ankle and just kept running with a broken ankle to finish the shot. Think whatever you want about Tom Cruise, when it comes to his movies, he really puts a lot of effort into it.

Hearing Jones talking about 'Toys R Us' just brought back so many childhood memories. We lived right next to a Toys R Us as a kid and I would always go with my dad on his evening walks and we would spend some time in there. It was a kid's heaven - A toys only town.

Dileepan M

Huber talking about the shenmue games on a genesis collection... what if that is what bluepoint is working on? Would make sense when they talk about the scale of whatever they are working on next

Jerry Young

and Jones going for that Low Bet seven weeks in a row!

Cash

Casino Royal - easy top ten bathroom fight.

Cash

Chrono Trigger, behind the shoulder 3D remake by BluePoint!

Demon’s Souls remake by Blue Point. It’s gonna happen.

Michael Miller

CORRECTION: Hadoken and shoryuken costs $3.99 each

Trung Nguyen

CORRECTION: "Shadow of the Tomb Raider", not "Rise of the Tomb Raider"

Brandon Ray

When a hostile takeover fails, my hope in the world is restored.

Justin Greene

Demon's Souls remake by BP.

No matter what kind of day I'm having, that intro music always puts me in such a good jolly place

Ajax

Kinda harsh on Tomb Raider - Rise was an excellent game and I'm very excited for Shadow based on previous successes. Media blackout

VGJunky

CORRECTION: While Huber’s description of Destiny 2 events would have been accurate had he been talking about the Christmas event, the Valentine’s Day event did not sell the special loot boxes. The only way to get them was leveling up or accomplishing in-game goals.

Erunion

I really hope so. This is what we are for though. Catching these potential "mistakes".

Gustav Strömbom

You do mean "Shadow of the Tomb Raider's teaser", correct?
