feelng ther would you be if someone in real lik i oly, knock you out, as f tea might dieand

Speaker 1

then can just fly around on the wing suit? And then thed just, hi, jack another car from the air, like yu're playing, just causean also the driving, like, it's been so long since i've seen like, burn out style, like take down, where you just lit slop swide a, side swipe into other cars and just take them out into a burning flame. Like just, i don't know, it just made me feel quite comfy. We all felt quite comfy. I' see, i haven't adde got to play it yet. So now, how actually feels to play? But i don't know. I don't kn if you can go too far wrong with that formula. Maybe i'll eat my words in a few months that its atrocious, but i just, i

Speaker 3

don't have that feeling. And it definitely feels like, from what little we've seen of it, they've taken a step back from how insane saints rofors had gotten, where like saints ropi was like the perfect sort of level for me. A. It maybe feels like theyve ie pulled back a little biton as well, but still keeping that wackiness alive. Her, the director said to me, tye, only it's in between two and three se not

Speaker 1

quite the original first two saints ro actually got quite dark in places they weren't looked like, like crazy all over the place, like madness. And yes, three definitely went in that direction. So is a sit you getin a good mix this time, the vib i no, this will split people, ecause i know some people aren't afao fie o this game. But i like it a lot, as i did get a bit of watchdogs two out of it, the way your carriage is going to interact to each other, and the colours of the world, i got a bit of that kind of mixed with yet and mix almost like a little bit of sunset overdrive, um. But ye, it's hard to know. It this punks a still. We've only seen forty five minutes it, but ye, seen as what, between now and the end of the year, really, there's not that many games comeen, like, big games coming out. Like this might be a surprise, little sleeper hit that people up until now, didn't really haven their rador. But i'm excited, because god knows when we're getting a new g t a, but i'd love one exactit exactly. Look's good. Fun. Em, i know we talked about it last week, but i think it just requires repeating that top gun maverick is an absolutely excellent film, and joe now had the pleasure of seeing it,

Speaker 2

is this the best film i've watched this year so far. So wold er. We won't stick on to it for too long. We know we talked about it last last week, but i just want to express how fucking fun this film is. I watched it with friends of the podcast, crooper and gav, and at one point i literally was leaning over to crooper and just saying, i am having an amazing tim its. Such a luck. Like it somehow balances being totally self serious with knowing that almost every line in it is complete buship and like, and then matches it with just amazing flight scenes. It knows exactly when to get people back into the planes. It has is just an improved version of top gun, like, where top gun is a big series of skits that's basically like two dog fights and a sports movie in between, this one actually hasa a good through line, like a fun sort of action movie premise built in, like, real stakes, good, like, emotional beats, a, the, you know, theinte introduction of goose's kid rooster with miles teller looking exactly like fucking doctor mark green from a yar, who i found out goose was a, like, he's just such a good addition to it. I'm not always a massive fana miles teller, but i think he's brilliant in this. A, just. Si, a, just an amazing time that it's just tat walter wall, it's good fun. It's

Speaker 1

so good, you can see why they weigted over two yearsi, see this in cintamas? Yes. It it. It so deserves tobe seen in sinamats. Like, people talk a lot about how much they've spent film in this, like showing like 99 % of the flying stuff practically without c gi. And it isn't just hollow words. It pays off so much. Like atye, it's out next week. I can't encourage people enough to see this at the cinema. And yet, cardy

Speaker 2

last week said, i watch on the biggest screen you can watch. I on the biggest sound system you can like, we wanced it in an e max, and it was k in, shaking my chair all the way through. And it was brilliant. Like, who needs forty x? Just get a big sound syster to blow your ats off your chair every six mes it's great. Get

Speaker 1

that on the poster. This will blow your heart off. Ye,

Speaker 2

i just so good. I loved it. And i know that we're going to get some back clash about how it like eightes cheese or whatever. I don't give a shit. It's incredible. Satis cheese is amazing. There's a reason those films are so good. I

Speaker 1

know you've not actually seen the original top gun. Have you? Do? No, sorry. Youyou you excited. So the new on you? Ganno, actually watchd the original?
