speaker-0: Stucky Tucker! Genius
speaker-2: Yeah.
speaker-1: Should I say Doki Dark Mo? Look at the
speaker-2: look at it. It's glorious. I kinda look like Ned Flanders, I think. I've got the room. Hi did I.
speaker-0: Friendly neighbor. Now I know some people can't see this, so Doki is like copying my look today. Just full
speaker-1: I don't.
speaker-0: fledged mo
speaker-2: Yeah. Let's have a mo off. I'll put it up on the Doki Darko Facebook page today and people can tell us who's got the best mo. Yeah. I don't think it's not Nick.
speaker-1: Nick's not no no he's not copying yours, Nick. It's loo it looks like with Dockey we've found the original blueprint. That's what's happening.
speaker-0: We could be the Mario modes.
speaker-1: You're the cheaply made version. They were like, There's gotta be the original plans here somewhere. Are you
speaker-0: He sang on the teamu version of a moustache. Yeah. Just poorly factory made. You're there.
speaker-2: You're that Timu ripoff of the Mario brothers. The one that's not quite right. You pick up a star and instead of going ding, it goes bl
speaker-0: All right now.
speaker-1: Now t speaking of rip offs and remakes, what are we talking about, Dockey, today? 'Cause I think Ocarina of Time needs to be spoken about.
speaker-0: I thought Nintendo would have been a better segue, but
speaker-2: You're not wrong, but yeah look, Ocarina of Time for me is the greatest release of the year. I just love this game so much. And you know what? I'm an I'm a big advocate for not including remakes in game of the year. Sure. But this deserves its own category. Like they have remade this game in a way that is just Absolutely beautiful. It's the way I always imagined a Zelda game to be. When Breath of the Wild came out, everyone was blown away. I'm like, yeah, this is great. And you know, at the time I was blown away as well. But the graphics just felt a little bit off for me. I didn't like that that style they went with. Ocarina of Time nails what I think a Zelda game should look like. And I just love it. I I've spent so many hours playing it, reminiscing the nostalgia just hits you square between the legs. It is amazing. but the here's the thing, it's selling consoles. Nintendo have announced that it's shifted a massive five point two million units globally in just four days of this game. So you know what?
speaker-1: I'm tempted to buy one dockie. This might have been it to get me a good time.
speaker-2: This is the thing. When they launched the Nintendo Switch 2, this is the game they actually needed. Yeah. Right. They had Mario Kart on release, which is an a a great fun game. Not as good as Mario Kart Delight Deluxe 8, of course, but still a great game. But this is the one that would have sold consoles in much the same way that Breath of the Wild sold Nintendo Switch. I'd be
speaker-1: You're right in saying that Mario Kart doesn't have the staying power either, whereas because they change it's like bringing out another Call of Duty. You're not gonna remix something with Call of Duty because a next one's coming out next year.
speaker-2: And you can get a Mario Kart game like every whenever. whereas we're whereas you're part of a movement at the moment. I feel like it's part like a a week ago, two weeks ago, if you'd told me that the online chatter would be about a video game, I would have instantly assumed it was Grand Theft Auto Six. Yeah. Everyone is talking about Zelda Ocarina of Time. Every Every video in your feed is Zelda Ocarina of Time. I don't know if you've seen it, but my favorite meme at the moment is one of Link and it's called Link in Park. great. And someone's playing in the end on the Ocarina and it's so easy to play. By the way, it's it's L R A
speaker-0: Yeah.
speaker-2: A R and then hold up and then L L L L and yeah. So that
speaker-0: Sounds a cheeko.
speaker-2: it's so easy to play. It's so much fun.
speaker-0: Cheat code to play Lincoln Park.
speaker-1: if the beats GTA six for game of the year.
speaker-0: yeah. I d I don't think it will 'cause of the amount of pre order copies it's gotten and whatever. But Docie, can I ask, are we just riding on nostalgia for this or is it genuinely a great game?
speaker-2: Ocarina of Time, from the very first time it was released back in 1998, was the best Zelda game. if you would have asked me like a a year ago which is the best Zelda game, I'd Ocarina of Time. And a lot of people would say Breath of the Wild, but they're from a different generation. I was with the generation that grew up playing it. Yeah. And for me, it is the best Zelda game of all time. So yeah. It is riding a bit on nostalgia, but they've done enough to it. And interestingly too, what they've done is when they built the team that was going to do this remake, and and don't like let's let's point out the fact that Nintendo use their A team. Normally for remakes, they use their B team. They send them in and they make it. They they use their A team and they include a a lot of young, up and coming Nintendo developers. Yeah. Right? The reason they did that was to make sure that it was relevant to today's audience. And they've they've moved and shifted things around and just made enough changes to make it a modern game. I think it's j it's superb. It's it's it's a masterclass in how to do a remake.
speaker-0: Should just remake our childhood Nintendo and so much better. Yeah. They are.
speaker-2: Yeah, maybe they could redo yours with a bit more testosterone.
speaker-0: You know I have a hormone disorder.
speaker-2: Shots fired.
speaker-0: Now, can you tell us about the massive PlayStation plus catalogue?
speaker-2: Yeah, heaps of games coming to PlayStation Plus this month that you won't be playing because you'll be too busy playing GTA 6. Yeah. but these are some massive games. Death Stranding 2 on the beach, which I loved. I played all of it, loved it. That's coming to PS Plus. Like a Dragon, Pirate Yucusa in Hawaii, which is a

weird game, but very cool. Dragon Quest, if you're into those, Dragon Quest III HD 2D remake is coming to it. And if you like cricket. we're all talking about the sandpaper gate scandal all over again. Yeah. But Cricket Twenty Six is a really solid cricket game that's coming as well. So yeah, plus I should mention Adam Fall because I love Rebellion. the studio. And I think you know, Adam Fall is a really great fallout esque game. Yeah.
speaker-1: Is this the one based in the Russian wilderness?
speaker-2: In yeah, in the English wilderness. Or is it English? Yeah, it's like an old English town. So you see an old English telephone box, but it's been taken off, like it's invaded and yeah, gotcha. Real fun game. Real fun. Go check it out. Nice.
speaker-0: Sandpaper or cheat code in Cricket Twenty Six.
speaker-2: You shouldn't pay you shouldn't.
speaker-1: Is it mash X to Sledge? How does it work?
speaker-2: Cricket. You use the sandpaper, but there is the chance that you won't be able to load your game for another four years.
speaker-1: I said.
speaker-0: Now big collaboration, Apex Legends and Godzilla. What's he doing stomping around?
speaker-2: Was really lucky to jump into an early access version of this game a couple of weeks ago and and play. I hadn't played Apex since it launched, and surprisingly, it is a really solid shooter. Like, if you want to play a good fun game, get in and play Apex Legends. the the Godzilla event is absolutely huge, as you would think it would be. Godzilla comes into the map, like it's not it. You can play with Godzilla skins and things as well. There's all sorts of, Fortnite esque things are happening the in the Apex world. But the best part is when Godzilla just walks in off the side of the map. He is massive. he feels like watching, Godzilla Minor Zero, one of those movies. and then he you see him he's building up and you know how his his scales like light up. Yeah. So you see this happening and then you see the big breath of of beam come out. And it just has this it's this feeling that is super and immense and just gigantic. It do it doesn't feel like some something is tacked on. It feels like it's ingrained in the game and I love it. So
speaker-1: Explain to me the mechanic though. Why is he there? Is it is it purely he's the reason that the map will end up like the match will finish?
speaker-2: Yeah, that's right. Yeah. So he's like an extra an extra obstacle on the map. So where you know, generally like the the gas is coming in and you've got a circle that you have to be in by the end of it. And and he's part of that. So yeah, it's a and the map he's into is generally it's it's a more vibrant map and what they've done is they've just destroyed it. So there's broken buildings everywhere and And it just has that real aesthetic. They've done a great job with it. I I reckon it's worth jumping in and checking out, especially if you're an Apex Legends fan or if you were a fan and want to get back into it, because the gunplay in that game is surprisingly good. Yeah. It is from Respawn, so yeah.
speaker-0: Yeah. It's meant meant to be good. They get it. Yeah. now the original PlayStation I think came in four pieces and now it's coming in over two thousand. Is that right, Doki? And it's different.
speaker-2: Pieces, yeah. So I remember back in the day I was selling PlayStation Ones at a at a at a gaming store in Mount Gambia, South Australia. Shout out to the Mount Gambians.
speaker-0: Document.
speaker-2: Yeah, and I just like I love that console. It really reinvented the way we looked at consoles because it was the first one to get released with a disk drive, and it meant we could store a lot more data on it. So the games coming out for it were just so much more massive. It was it was insane what we were looking at. So now to see it in Lego form and rebuild it and have fun and joy and nostalgia from rebuilding this Lego console. It is so cool. there are 1,911 pieces to this Lego set. And there's some real cool Easter eggs as well. So do you guys watch Lego Masters at all? I'm obsessed with that show. Yeah. Obsessed. So you know what Snot is? Yeah.
speaker-0: Yeah, it's studs not what is it studs something?
speaker-2: Not on top. You were really close. Yeah, yeah. And they did that really well with the Game Boy Lego that they put out a little while ago. And they've nailed it with the with the Lego PlayStation one as well. So really cool. Plus the little Easter eggs in there. So if you remember a game called Ape Escape. Yeah. Do you remember that? There's the Easter egg. So you can there's a little thing that you can put inside it and and and so you open the console lid and there's Ape Escape there. And you can even swap the monkey's head out hit the the light on his head from a red one to a blue one. which is really cool. And then there's another bit that slides out and it's got the original Gran Turismo, a a diorama or Gran Turismo in there as well. So really nostalgic and fun, but also just a really fun build. So if you're into Lego and you love video games, it's a really it's a must own for you. Check it out.
speaker-1: I I'm interested in that even though I've never bought Lego prior. PlayStation.
speaker-0: No, really?
speaker-2: A real
speaker-0: And putting C D in it.
speaker-2: I think it's worth like it it for me, Lego is like adult puzzles. You know how people sit around doing jigsaw puzzles? Then that's that's my jigsaw puzzle time and I I spend that and I I generally only get the the Lego pieces that are gaming related. So I love the PlayStation one and the and the the Game Boy one and apparently there's a Mega Drive one I don't have. So Yeah, so really cool.
speaker-0: Yeah, Nintendo one, yeah. Yeah, you've got a little strap for us, Doc. You you're saying to stop deleting our games, you've got a better way around
speaker-2: That's right. We've been talking a lot the the last few weeks about deleting your games to make space for Grand Tru Grand Theft Auto six, which is coming out at two hundred and twelve gigabytes on the PlayStation. I just remember
speaker-1: Battle six battlefield six off my PlayStation for this.
speaker-2: Right. and this is the thing, a lot of these games are games that you don't necessarily play every day, but when you want to play you wanna play now. I have the same thing with like Gran Turismo Seven. Like I don't necessarily play that every day, but I love jumping in for a race every now and again. Same with Formula One, like you jump in to play that occasionally. I love playing Lego Batman with the kids. Yeah. So, you want space on there for for the other games in your life. GTA six doesn't have to be the only game on your console. Yeah. but I think a great solution for that is Samsung have put out the ninety one hundred pro with heatsink, which is a SSD that slides straight into the SSD slot of your PlayStation. And I was surprised at how easy it was to install 'cause I'm not necessarily as much as I love gaming and tech, I don't pull things apart and put back together all the time. Right. And it makes me nervous to take the case off your place. I got nervous just swapping the faceplates over because you're like, but it's really easy. You slide the faceplate off. There's a little metal plate there that you unscrew, you slide the the the the S D in and then suddenly you've got an extra two terabytes of space. Wow. Don't get me started on how these machines should ship with two terabytes to start with. But But it's it makes it so much easier and it's just such a good way to do it. I would say that if you are going to look in in upgrading your your SSD, your your your storage on your console, make sure you look for one with heat sinks. You don't want the the hard drive overheating and then you lose all your data and it's also a pretty hefty investment as well. But I wouldn't look past the Samsung ninety one hundred pro with heat sink. I think that's the easiest and best way to do it. And Samsung have a really good a really good reputation, I think, within the storage space community. So go check it out.
speaker-0: Sounds like you have to play the game operation before embarking on this journey.
speaker-2: Hurt, I tell you. That's what they should include in it. Like it just goes every now and again. Like just to freak out.
speaker-0: Little red buzzer. Yeah, yeah. That's Doki Darko with all the latest gaming news. You can check up on the Instagram at Doki Darko underscore official. And we'll catch up next week if GTA you haven't caught that GTA six virus, hopefully Doc.
speaker-2: Boys, I'll be playing GTA six, but hey. If I answer the phone, yeah.
speaker-0: You know what we're gonna be talking about. We'll catch up next week. Thanks, Doc.
