Crytek Revives Game Lore
00:00:01
john hewitt
Well, I didn't think you had it in you. I'm your huckleberry. We started a game we never got to finish. Play for blood, remember?
00:00:20
john hewitt
a game we never got to finish play
00:00:30
john hewitt
Cry about that, dirty old bitch. We're
00:00:37
john hewitt
on red alert, people. We're on red alert. We've got breaking news.
00:00:45
john hewitt
I am John Cat here, live at the Cat House, sitting in with Harrison. Harrison, say hello.
00:00:52
Clutch Commander
Hello, everybody.
00:00:54
john hewitt
Breaking news from Crytek.
00:00:58
john hewitt
All of that lore that we were all bitching that they got rid of, they put it all back.
00:01:04
Clutch Commander
Sweet.
00:01:07
john hewitt
I'm not going lie to you. I'm not going to sit here and say that I looked at every piece of it when it was at the first go around. But the fact that I guess they heard enough people bitching about it and they realized what they got rid of, that they've given it a whole section of the website.
00:01:12
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:01:21
john hewitt
It's called the Mythos section of the website now.
00:01:24
Clutch Commander
Okay.
00:01:26
john hewitt
And at the moment, there's only a couple pieces available. They're still getting the rest of it. At the moment, the only thing that's available is the event stuff.
00:01:38
john hewitt
Like the the shit you get throughout the event, the the storylines of the events. All of the events are on there. And then there's, i guess, the extent of like the monster manual.
00:01:50
Clutch Commander
Okay.
00:01:51
john hewitt
But then you go.
00:01:51
Clutch Commander
Now,
00:01:53
john hewitt
go ahead.
00:01:54
Clutch Commander
Now, do they have it just as written out blog posts, like journal entries, or do they have the audio files?
00:02:03
john hewitt
I wouldn't... They've got to have the audio files if they have the other stuff. I've just been skimming over it at the moment.
00:02:09
Clutch Commander
Okay.
00:02:10
john hewitt
We'll do it live. Scorched Earth Part 2. There's got to be some audio files in the Scorched Earth. Yeah, no, they're on there.
00:02:15
Clutch Commander
Nice.
00:02:16
john hewitt
The audio files are on there.
00:02:16
Clutch Commander
Okay.
00:02:18
john hewitt
There's a little WAV file in the middle of the page.
00:02:20
Clutch Commander
Awesome.
00:02:22
john hewitt
But... You've got all the events right now you've got the monster, the corrupted monsters with the kind of a monster manual coming soon. They're going to give you the lyric breakdown for all the port solfer songs.
00:02:37
john hewitt
Cause I, I feel like they're also responsible for some of the lore is port solfer band and their music.
00:02:37
Clutch Commander
Nice.
00:02:42
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:02:45
john hewitt
but then they're also going to go into the lore behind some of the weapons and the lore for all of the hunters.
00:02:53
Clutch Commander
Okay, so we're finally going to get actual
Centralizing Lore: Website vs. In-Game
00:02:57
john hewitt
There's always been some lore. You just have to read their little blurb to kind of learn about them. But yes, i it'll all be centralized. You're not going to have to root through the game, the the UI that's always a little fucked anyway.
00:02:57
Clutch Commander
tangible.
00:03:10
john hewitt
But yeah, that's a fucking huge... I mean, I saw that yesterday and i was like, dude, breaking news. We got to get in on this. We got to get on top of it. I mean, are are you excited to finally be able to mean you could be taking a dump at work and be learning about the origins of the emulator?
00:03:30
Clutch Commander
So, yes and no.
00:03:35
john hewitt
Why the no?
00:03:35
Clutch Commander
Yes, I'm excited they have it. the I want it also in the game. Do you remember that the sci-fi show Defiance where all the lore for the game was on a website or something that you had to go to?
00:03:45
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:03:54
john hewitt
Vaguely, yes.
00:03:56
Clutch Commander
i don't want it to be that. I like it on the website, don't get me wrong, but I think they need to add it back to the game so that it, you don't have to go to three different places to learn all the lore about it.
00:04:11
john hewitt
Well, at this point, I don't think you have to go to three. I think if you want to know. It's available on the Web. I think Central. I agree with you. I liked it better in the game. But I think having it centralized all in one place, it does kind of mitigate some of the headache where you're like, well, I got to make sure I read this event bullshit before the event ends. And let me read all this stuff. And, you know, X, Y and Z. When now you could just as easily be like, I'm just going to hang out and I'm going to read shit about all of my favorite stuff.
00:04:47
john hewitt
I like I'm going to learn the stuff now that I've wanted to look into for forever.
00:04:53
Clutch Commander
No, I agree that it's good that they still have it and that they're putting it back out and that it's all in one place. But I think that one place should also be the game that you play where you care about all the lore.
00:05:08
john hewitt
Yeah, I can agree. Like, even if that was like more of a, even if the lore stuff was, maybe throw that shit in there for the loading screens instead of, you do know that clues glow red when hunters are close.
00:05:21
Clutch Commander
Yeah, I'd be okay with
Speculations on Future UI Updates
00:05:21
Clutch Commander
that.
00:05:22
john hewitt
Like, if if you had moderate, like, like little, like, little makeshift history channel blurbs.
00:05:25
Clutch Commander
Little blurbs.
00:05:31
john hewitt
That'd be pretty cool. But I mean, this is this is big too, though, because you remember they took it without any kind of fucking fanfare. And the fact that they put it back, I'm like, I'm i'm excited that they at least put it back.
00:05:42
Clutch Commander
i agree. I'm happy it's back.
00:05:44
john hewitt
Yeah.
00:05:45
Clutch Commander
I just kind of also wish it was in the game I play.
00:05:49
john hewitt
Yeah. I'd say just give it time. I imagine within time they will be putting it back.
00:05:53
Clutch Commander
Probably. i mean, they're redoing the UI again, so it'll probably be in there again.
00:05:59
john hewitt
Sure, sure. With this emergency podcast, have you been getting into anything since we've recorded last?
TV Show 'Reacher' Discussion
00:06:08
Clutch Commander
Other than watching Reacher, no.
00:06:12
john hewitt
Yes.
00:06:13
Clutch Commander
But I'm really enjoying the show.
00:06:16
john hewitt
Yeah. Reacher's... I mean, that the guy... the The show, for being as corny as it is, it is it is rock solid.
00:06:25
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:06:25
john hewitt
Like, that guy's a hell of a fucking actor.
00:06:28
Clutch Commander
Yes. i I can ignore a lot of the dumb coincidences in Reacher a lot more than I can in other shows because of how good he is.
00:06:40
john hewitt
Oh, for sure. For sure. For sure. Like, if if this show starred anybody else, like, if it was the guy from Rebel Ridge kind of doing a Jack Reacher thing, like, the way i
00:06:53
Clutch Commander
I'd be okay with that. I liked him.
00:06:57
john hewitt
I like what I've seen of that guy, i would not buy it for a minute. It's just something about Reacher where I'm like, you just killed this guy's right-hand man and now you've become his right-hand man?
00:07:08
john hewitt
It's just something about Reacher where I'm like, yeah, I could see that happening.
00:07:13
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:07:14
john hewitt
I could see a guy that size coming out of the woods and you're like, I guess I work with him now.
00:07:18
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:07:20
john hewitt
Unlike the guy from like, or like fucking, I mean, any Jack Bauer comes out of the fucking woods and you're like, you're going to put two in his ass. You're just going put two in his ass and be like, get away from me.
00:07:30
john hewitt
I don't want anything do with you. You're sketchy looking. But Reacher immediately, you'll look at him and you're like...
00:07:32
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:07:35
john hewitt
God, you're fucking intimidating. I guess you're coming with me.
00:07:39
Clutch Commander
I guess if you're running away, if you're running, going, we need to leave, I guess I need to leave too.
00:07:41
john hewitt
yeah Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If a guy that size is hauling ass and he goes, get the car, we're leaving. You don't ask questions.
00:07:51
Clutch Commander
Nope, you get in the car and we're leaving.
00:07:53
john hewitt
Yeah. Yes, we are.
Humorous Grocery Store Tales
00:07:55
john hewitt
We are not leaving.
00:07:55
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:07:57
john hewitt
You're leaving and I'm coming with you.
00:07:59
Clutch Commander
yeah
00:08:00
john hewitt
Yeah. Yeah. We'll round this out here in about the next two minutes. Just make it a quick little 10-minuter about the lore. it's fucking it's It's big. i'm I'm super fucking pumped. but Shot out of a cannon time. Harrison, I just went and bought some groceries earlier. You've been to the store. You've been buying your own groceries for a while now. You're not living with roommates anymore. You're buying your own shit.
00:08:23
Clutch Commander
Yes.
00:08:24
john hewitt
Have you ever been behind... a woman in the line to check out attractive woman. I'm not saying your mouth's watering, but very attractive woman. And when you're, you're looking at her groceries as she's buying stuff, you always see a woman by one cucumber. Do you ever just like sit there and be like, do you think like,
00:08:46
john hewitt
Either you're eating one cucumber or you got a weird date, but like, it's just weird. Like I've never went in there and bought just like one carrot. Like who's buying just one cucumber. Do you ever just see women buy weird phallic shaped stuff and you're like, Hmm.
00:09:00
Clutch Commander
I'm going to be honest with you. Normally at the grocery store, I have my headphones in, and I'm off on podcast land listening to history about Rasputin and how he was a horny little fucker.
00:09:13
john hewitt
Well,
00:09:17
Clutch Commander
So, no, i don't I don't pay attention to what other people are buying.
00:09:17
john hewitt
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:24
Clutch Commander
Although I will say this one time, at the grocery store, I had a wrestling shirt on and this staff member proceeded to have a 30 minute conversation with me about wrestling.
00:09:37
Clutch Commander
And I just wanted to buy my groceries, but he was a little on the spectrum, you know, and I felt bad.
00:09:46
john hewitt
yeah yeah
00:09:46
Clutch Commander
So 30 minutes later, i was able to end the conversation.
00:09:52
john hewitt
for wearing AJ Styles shirt. They all love him.
00:09:55
Clutch Commander
Apparently, Silas is loved by all.
00:09:58
john hewitt
AJ Styles and John Cena.
00:09:58
Clutch Commander
Unlike John Cena.
00:10:00
john hewitt
Yeah, they love him.
00:10:00
Clutch Commander
that John Cena's evil now. Nobody likes him.
00:10:05
john hewitt
Look, it had to happen, okay? And his name is John Cena!
00:10:14
john hewitt
He'll live in infamy.
00:10:17
Clutch Commander
Yes, he will.
00:10:19
john hewitt
I think we're good. i yeah I just really wanted to get your opinion on the lore. i mean there's been all the to like know Rat329 is a big lore guy He makes me feel like I'm on the spectrum sometimes when he starts talking about the lore because it's stuff that I never put two and two together.
Excitement for Future Crytek Content
00:10:37
john hewitt
There's, course, you know fucking Hazmat FTdubs on YouTube. That's his whole fucking page. It's just lore shit. and I know he was upset that A, the original lore apparently was a lot like darker and cooler, and then we got this lore, and then they just unceremoniously fucking got rid of this lore. So the fact that like this is kind of creeping back, I hope he starts making some some fresh content regarding that. But I was excited, and I was like, i got we gotta fucking jump on this, and I want to get your impression.
00:11:11
Clutch Commander
umm I'm glad it happened. I'm excited to see what further bits they add about the hunters.
00:11:18
Clutch Commander
And we'll see what goes on with it.
00:11:20
john hewitt
Yeah, I mean, even if it's just the blurbs that are there when you buy the hunter, i think it's it's just something about having it on my phone where I can read it that I'd be more likely to you know, which it was on the site to begin with. We were doing that early in the show's run. We were reading biographies of different hunters.
00:11:38
john hewitt
It was on the website.
00:11:40
Clutch Commander
Yeah.
00:11:41
john hewitt
But I want to see how this is laid out. like I feel like this is going to be... um'm i'm I'm excited. My interest is peaked. we went from I went from feeling sorry for Crytek in the last episode to now only a couple days were removed. I'm like i'm excited.
00:11:58
john hewitt
you guys had You guys have my interest peaked.
00:12:01
Clutch Commander
Yeah. I hope with this, maybe we get a phone app where it's all there and you can inspect shit. And look at all the skins.
00:12:12
john hewitt
It will be cool. I'm not even going to say, I'm not even going to try and be like critical and be like, but Cowboys do didn't have phones. I'd be like, no, I'd be on that phone at work, like getting in trouble because I'm over there making loadouts. And they're goingnna be like dude, why haven't you left to hit the road yet? And I'm going to like, I'm trying to see what pairs good with a fucking conversion pistol or a PAX. I don't know. I'm fucking, I'm playing around right now and I'm seeing the lore of the fucking Caldwell trauma.
