Hey folks, Today is Friday, March 13, 2026.

Adverbs of manner

As usual, my name is Jake Baldino, here to talk about all the video game news that has been going on this week and I'm clearly on the road, so pardon the lower quality recording.

I'm at GDC trying to learn about video games and stuff like that.

But there is a lot to talk about news coming from GDC and just in general and the biggest story is this week Crimson Desert.

We finally know possibly why it looks so good and if it's actually gonna look that good when we get it in our hands or whether it's not.

You know there's been a lot of hype around Crimson Desert and a lot of that has been the visuals and it just looking too good to be true.

A lot of people have speculated basically all the stuff we've seen so far has been running on PC but now we finally have a good in depth look at console stuff.

We also have essentially console performance.

So Crimson Desert dropped PC spec requirements which are on screen here, as well as a breakdown of like what modes and what we can expect to get out of the console versions all the way from Xbox Series S and X to PS5 to PS5 Pro.

I can't break them all down here for you, but

if you want to pause and look at it, here you go.

It's also all linked in the description down below, but

just depending on what you're playing on, it's good to be informed.

But at the very least what we did see as well is Digital Foundry got to do a whole breakdown and have a lot of crispy gameplay with on the PS5 Pro version and it looks like it's run damn good.

There's a 60fps mode, but still the visual quality is there.

It doesn't seem like there's a lot of sacrifice.

Again, that's the PS5 Pro version and not a lot of.

at the very least if you are curious to just see roughly what it's gonna look and how it's gonna perform on console now we have something to go on at least along with that.

I don't know if you saw this and you know you can't get a full confirmation of it.

It's a developer that said they worked at Pearl and they left.

But part of the reason for why the game looks so good according to them and this post, is that they've been working on the game for seven years and essentially every year they would overhaul their engine, their proprietary engine, or their set of tools that is used to make a game.

Every year they would overhaul it to optimize performance specifically.

But again, I think the biggest thing here, the big takeaway, is that it's seven years of development and presumably a shit ton of people, an army of people working on this game is why it looks this good.

Again, we have to confirm for ourselves when we review the game and when we get it in our hands, we will let you guys know how it's all going down.

I'm excited to see where the fun factor is with the game.

But like I said, keep your eyes peeled on our before youe Buy video.

We'll have you covered with all that stuff.

Hey now, before we keep going, this video is sponsored by Vessi.

So we're getting back into the action, right?

A weekend trip, a long flight, a nice walk in town.

With this spring, whether it's everyday life or you're heading out of town, you need versatility.

Not only is Vessi just comfortable, dependable footwear that are actually waterproof, mind you, they always have new different shapes, colors and sizes for every person and every situation.

And if we're talking every situation, the evolution of the Weeknd sneaker, the Weeknd Neo.

This is my new everyday shoe that travels with me.

As you can see in this video, I am on my way to GDC and these fit right in my bag.

Cause I don't know what kind of weather is gonna hit me.

Lightweight construction, a nice little heel pole to slip these shoes on.

And of course actually waterproof thanks to the Dymatex material.

So it doesn't feel like a waterproof shoe.

They're comfortable right out of the box and breathable.

So I had no issue just immediately taking these and throwing them in my luggage.

Rain or shine, city or suburbs, outdoors, indoors.

A big thanks to Vessi for sponsoring this Video now back to the news.

Next up in Xbox News, we know the code name for the next generation of Xbox that is announced here, Project Helix.

This is just obviously like a work in progress thing, a code name.

We don't know what the console is going to be but at gdc, Xbox head tech hardware guy Jason Ronald gave some details.

Long story short, Project Helix is going to be the next generation Xbox console.

And like we knew they had a deal with AMD.

This is going to be running a custom SoC, it's going to be using FSR, it's going to have all sorts of new fancy ray tracing enabling effects and this console will enable you to play Xbox games both new and old as well as PC games.

So basically what we've been expecting or at least you know what the, what the chatter has been, there's been so much talk about Xbox doing the hybrid like Windows Xbox PC thing.

We talked about it with their ally handheld with how that was essentially a Windows device with a kind of Xbox skin overlay to it, allowing you to play like Steam games and stuff like that, but

as well as Xbox or you know, PC Xbox titles at least.

But with this console it's getting more granular because you've got Xbox games and then you also are going to have PC games along with that.

The full screen experience or what they're calling here Xbox mode is actually going to be rolling out apparently as a Windows 11 feature in April.

So on your Windows PC you'll be able to enable the Xbox equivalent of Steam big picture mode.

I'll link it all in the description down below.

It's still early but the main takeaway is again next generation of Xbox hardware is going to be that PC Xbox hybrid thing and also it is going to be rolling out in developers hands, you know, dev kits, what developers can work with essentially early versions of that.

They're getting their hands on it in 2027.

So it's still going to be a minute before we actually get our hands on the console.

But at least now you know what to expect if you're an Xbox fan or just a fan of inside baseball video games.

We also got an official confirmation from the director of Resident Evil Requiem that we are getting DLC and stuff.

So Capcom put out an announcement video saying thank you for playing our game etc etc they're going to update it still with bug fixes and stuff like that as well as a photo mode soon which has been heavily requested and I'm excited to see what Console players can really do with that.

But also on top of that, the director announced that they are adding a mini game update in May.

It could be a bowling mode like Tekken Tech Tournament, or it could be mercenaries mode, which that's what I would like to see, but

But then they also announced and teased with like some jokey little fake memes, like revealing that we are getting story DLC that is in production, in development.

And I'm excited to see what that could be because it's could be anything really.

There's so many different angles that could go with that.

But again, knowing that we're getting a minigame mode in May, that means that this DLC is probably a little bit more of a ways off.

Maybe we'll get an announcement or a glimpse at it at Summer Game Fest this year.

Still, I'm excited to see what that could possibly be because Resident Evil rules.

I know even with the little flaws with nine, it's been a good time.

It's nice to see people really excited about Resident Evil, so they could go anywhere and I'm willing to see what they do.

Also, Valve has come out and once again reiterated that they are going to release the new Steam hardware this year.

But they once again cited still that there are concerns around pricing and availability because of the RAM shortage and the hardware price escalation.
