You mentioned EA and well if we were going to talk about the ups and downs, the ups, the downs, the ups, the more downs, then the ups again of them. I mean there was that period of time here so you know I know it was a mass effect, it was Microsoft Studios for the first game but then eventually I think they were publishers for that and you've obviously got the Dead Space games so they were there for these moments of great gaming experiences. Yeah, and then they got voted the worst company in the world two years in a row. It seems never lasts for long, right? No, drop in the water for then. Any publicity is good publicity, as they say. And of course it's a shame because I want to address the Necromorph elephant in the room, which looks absolutely terrifying, but Dead Space 2 was supposed to be remade, and unfortunately that got canned for some reason because this game didn't sell well, and I have. no idea how because and again we'll get into it in a minute but it was just such an impactful game. Yeah I know I just was like I was reading before we jumped on in fact is that the cells were low and apparently lower than the Callista protocol. Oh wow. Now yeah Now, again, gamers, right? We complain about certain things, and yes, this is a remake, but for me, just like the Resident Evil 4 remake, it feels like a lovingly made one, and Dead Space 2 and 3, I barely remember now. You know, because as I said, I played those originally, what were we now, 12 years ago, say, 10 to 12 years ago, and I'll come on to why I would play them rather than playing the originals, but I think it's a crying shame if they don't give the same treatment to the sequels. because I know it was in the pipe line and then they said oh it's gonna come out and everything and then as you said because of the sales they just absolutely threw it out the airlock and that is just such a shame so hopefully they've changed their mind down the line and they say you know what we'll give it the respect it deserves because two is very much like Mass Effect 2 it's the one I think people remember more than the first one even though one has a lot of very iconic moments and on On that note, I am going to pull up one of these tables. We're going to try and get the attention of one of the waiters over there lying on the floor. And yeah, we'll be right back after these transmissions.
