20:17 was a great year for video games but I hear that 2018 will be even better do you agree with this that is a very tall order to fill 2017 has been an insanely good year for games I mean not even looking at just individual titles I mean we got the 1x we got the switch we got a new Mario damn new Zelda that we're both amazing we got some of the best JRPGs and just in general is here has been insane so to say that 2018 is going to be better is why I'm not saying it's impossible and there's totally some like great stuff on the horizon that we've heard about but is gonna be this year that's that that's gonna take some work which kind of following that same vein what game are you most looking forward to in 2018 so right now there's probably two games that I am most hyped for at the moment and that's Red Dead Redemption 2 and Soul Calibur 6 admittedly part of the reason for so converse is because it just got announced like what not even we go so I'm still like writing the hype train from that but read interruptions one of the games I'm most hype for mainly because while you know we had you know GTA 5 which was great there's a lot of other good action games no but old stuff that goes on there are so few games that touch on the western genre so to have another entry in what is the best Western game ever made is just something I really need soon as for Soul Calibur 6 well I just love a soul cover franchise and I thought it was actually dead after a while cuz Tekken's basically been the main focus but it's coming back and they're actually looked like they're kind of going back to the roots of the older game while still mixing in some new mechanics which I really like the idea of so one of those two definitely do you feel that other gaming companies are gonna start making handheld consoles to compete with Nintendo probably not at least as far as like the major companies right now goes I don't think anyone's going to dive into making a switch clone just yet if someone were going to maybe Sony that is something they kind of experimented with before with the PlayStation Portable and the PS Vita it's stuff they've done but it hasn't really worked out super well in the past I mean it has its dedicated fan base but it is not exactly something that you know flew off store shelves I think it's possible I really doubt Microsoft to do anything about that I think they're really focused on just making the living room experience as great as possible I don't think handheld is something they're currently interested in but who knows they could throw a curve ball because as we've seen the switch is clearly something that people and want to keep using so yeah I could definitely see someone getting the competition probably Sony but who knows and that's kind of the reverse on that one both Sony and Microsoft have done hardware updates for their platforms recently the One X and the ps4 Pro do you think Nintendo will do the same for the switch in 2018 what your desires if they do I really doubt we're gonna get an updated switch in 2018 seeing as how the system came out earlier this year I just think that's a little too soon for a Nintendo to do a full new model version it's not impossible it could be something they did for the holiday season but I think more likely we're gonna see that in 2019 if we do get something in 2018 it'd probably just be some kind of special edition system that might offer some minor upgrades maybe a little more internal storage something like that that's all I think we'll get now if we do get a model update in 2019 2020 whenever things I would like to see mostly just changes to the physical form to make it well better you know maybe just making it a little thinner improving the cooling a little bit change the kickstand because I really really hate that kickstand having something that's actually functional would be awesome and maybe get a little more experimental with droidcon designs I mean yes you could just take the old row cons from previous system and slap it on a newer model but if they're gonna do a new model I think also changes the controller design could be an interesting way to kind of differentiate and give people way to sort of halfway upgrade what has been your biggest disappointment in gaming this year this is honestly probably like a common answer but Mass Effect Andromeda not because I even hated the game like actually I kind of liked it or at least didn't hate it as much as other people did but it just was such a waste of potential there were so many kind of like just good ideas that kind of form the basis of the game but then a lot of it was squandered on being this rushed project where there's bugs everywhere there's pointless side quests plot lines that go nowhere things that are just never addressed it just there was so much potential and it went absolutely nowhere to become just a matte game if you had to choose just one console past or present you can use all of its games which one would it be and why it's a tough one but I would probably have to say about the top my head PlayStation 1 a lot of games I really love are on that system and while the SNES has a lot of my other favorite games thankfully most of those were ported onto the ps1 like Chrono Trigger 5 and 6 before even some games that we didn't get in the u.s. that we got later through that so yeah probably PlayStation 1 I'm definitely losing some stuff from ps2 and from like well just PC gaming in general but if just one probably PlayStation 1
