Just want to echo what others are saying (engagement go brrr) and say that it was so great to Rami back on the show! It's always a pleasure seeing Jesse Cox on as well. Really enjoyed this line up and episode.
Will echo a lot of what the others were saying. Everyone was really into the conversations and it was such a treat! Really like when everyone is fully involve!
1:07:43 I want to note that the dog knew that JP putting his headphones down meant that he would interact with them and/or was getting up and was otherwise waiting patiently. Dogs are smart dang.
This was such a treat to watch live. Rami is always such a joy to listen to, brings so much dev knowledge and Jesse is just a hoot. One of the best Dropped Frames I've seen in a while. When Zeke asked to be made small for the icon, I fucking cackled. Classic Zeke shenanigans. All in all a really good way to end the week watching the show. Also, could not finish Rebel Moon part 2, it was just too horrible. Lasted like half an hour and peace'd out. It wasn't even like the kind of bad that was funny like Jupiter Ascending, it was just bad. So definitely agree with Jesse on that.
Re: Game price. The numbers would work better if you weren't paying CEOs 30 million dollars a year with a 20 million dollar bonus on top of their equity.
I know it’s crazy, but not everyone 100% games. I did about 85% of ff7 rebirth and it was awesome. Loved the last few hours especially. Everybody has their preferences. But majority of mini games were fun with some frustrating ones.
Incredible episode. Very thought provoking conversations here, especially in the age of an insane amount of crap reactions from out of touch, uninformed streamers spewing nonsense, thinking they know the industry by simply playing video games. Not expecting this to happen every weekend but I’m very glad for this. Thank you!
Found the AI talk entertaining. The comparison to the Industrial Revolution is interesting, because while it's true that it was a time of technological advancement, it was also a time of restructuring society. Jesse gestured at this by bringing up lack of regulations, child labor and pollution. Broadly it was a shift from artisans and skilled laborers working in workshops on their own or with apprentices, to low skilled workers operating machines in factories. Skilled laborers were muscled out of the business, because the factories had a higher output, even if the quality of the product was overall inferior. Many of them either had to quit or turn their workshops into factories themselves. Because the workers operating machines in these factories were low skilled, they could be replaced easily, and therefore didn't have many rights as workers. It was a miserable state of affairs. The advent of generative AI is obviously different in many ways to the development of cotton-spinning machinery, but I think some similarities can be drawn. It's not just a technological change, it can also restructure society in ways. If it really takes off with media products to the point where companies are downsizing their teams to just few people who run generative AI to create products, it will cause massive waves in how we view and consume media products. What happens when a team of just a few people can produce dozens of AAA-tier games every year and put them up for sale? What happens when content can be generated so effortlessly? Will we care about it? What will that do to gaming as a market? When anyone can input an idea into a generative AI and receive a finished game, won't it just become meaningless noise? I think this would radically change the way we view art.
I think it's the kind of thing that we won't know how it will go until it happens. The personal anecdote I come back to in this particular sphere is Skyrim. There are people out there who really attribute the game to Todd Howard, who watched him hype the game before it came out and associate it very closely with his person. I was not like that. I didn't know anything about Bethesda save for a couple hours of Oblivion I'd played on a friend's computer years earlier. When I play Skyrim, I don't really see human artistry. Sure, I see that it's a videogame, and I see artifacts of it being a videogame like bad physics, bugs, AI that has no clue, etc, but will we really care that much about the provenance of "Skyrim 2.0" if it comes from an AI? I think we'll just play the game and get whatever experience comes out of that. I played Incredible Fishing in my teens, but I had no idea who Rami was nor was I interested to find out. I just thought his game was neat without making any connection to the human who coded it. Videogames, even the simple ones, are too complex and experiential to really attribute to someone. My playthrough of X might be entirely different from someone else's simply because of what moment I chose to get up to get myself a glass of water.
Rami is the GOAT when it comes to guests. As much love as Dansgaming gets (and very well-deserved), having Rami around to give an industry perspective is always fantastic.
Square released 6 games in the month of September last year….. small games but that’s too much. They didn’t get much marketing and they cannabalized each other. They need to rein it in. It suck’s people lost their job.
The crazy thing about studio closures is that the biggest complaint about stuff like the ps5 is that there just is no games, imagine if xbox instead of spending their money in the most wasteful way possible, they just invested a fuck tonne into smaller game studios, maybe elevate a couple experienced studios to AAA like sony did. They could have won the generation on that alone "by an xbox we have games, lots of them every year" instead xbox fans are clinging desperatley to exclusives because xbox isn't giving the anything additional. the only thing they have is the fact playstation fans don't get their games
I think it would be interesting to have a dropped frames with Rami and PirateSoftware discussing their takes on the industry. I bet they would not agree on everything and have a good discourse.
i'm excited about atari and sega being there at summer game fest because i'm a fan of sega and atari because some of there games appeal to me i can't wait for them to announed some new games at summer game fest
Rami: So we increased the loading times because of streamers... streamers: thanks, auto cast: aoe taunt... Angry gamers: Its does damn streamers again. xD
01:52:06 Ford said, when he started making cars, if you asked people how to improve transportation, they would've said 'faster horses'. I think Jobs said something similar.
What that list doesn't count are subscription services and free to play games. It's hard to gauge those but Fortnite had 126 mil monthly active players in 2023.
So for us who have a big backlog of long old games, at least we might get more of it done since new games are about to be even more shitty over the next years...
Rami is right about "not trusting computers". Humans will always be in the loop at an off-switch with AI stuff, if only to have someone other than the manufacturer to sue for liability. Jesse speaks truth as well, it was MANY years in history before we regulated technology to some degree and brought things into a semblence of normalcy... That's why all the AI "experts" seem to be calling for regulation BEFORE progressing the tech, which may spare people some of the pain of the transition....
Rami hit the nail on the head with his talk about the industry. If growth was 10% last year and 5% this year, they say it's a 50% decrease, which is technically true but overlooks the fact that they still made 5% more money than the year before. 100% with Rami, absolutely disguting.
Caught most of this live and what a good show. It's always a blast when Rami is on, but this one was especially so. Hell, even JP was allowed to host properly. You know, without two hundred random interruptions regurgitating unrelated things from chat or restating things JP already has said five minutes prior. I wonder what was different about this show compared to last twenty... Can't quite put my finger on it. Cough-cough. Excuse me, dry throuat. Need to hydrate and all that. Yup.
@@zepo82 It's basically all the guy does on this. I have no ill will against the dude personally, wish him and everyone involved all the best, the whole nine yards! Cohh would be much better served on his own show. The format would fit much better. Now that it's pointed out you'll probably catch the amount of times JP will say something and then Cohh will interrupt the conversation to state what JP said as if it were new information and then everyone chuckles and moves on. Zeke will try to cut in and Cohh will just interrupt or talk over him a lot, as well. Just to note: I'm not projecting or trying to put emotions, thoughts, words, behavior, anything, onto anyone present nor telling anyone, even fellow YT commenters, the very same. I'm just stating what I observe.
@@ElyonDominus Yeah I'm a big fan of Cohh but he does frustrate me a bit on here. He's always playing a game while the show is going on and only sort of half listening. JP has called him out on it a couple of times.
@@Guru316 He's definitely not as present as I would hope. The dude has great point sometimes even if they are what someone else just said when he wasn't paying attention. I get wanting to do some deep diving but honestly maybe there's too much chat interaction? I don't know, it's not my show and I am not going to backseat produce. As a viewer I find my experience tends to be inhibited by Cohh far more often than I find that he adds to it.
Saw the rumour mill spinning about Microsoft trying to buy Steam. That's got me sweating a bit. Have to buy a big hard drive and get all my Steam games on it, ASAP. Feels like its not safe to assume they'll still be there if a merger happens.
The problem isn’t as simple as Rami makes it seem. These companies would have made more money just investing in the stock market rather than funding games. They don’t pull these numbers out of thin air. Games basically need to beat the stock market in terms of profitability in order to make the investment worth it.
Here's the real counter-argument to the idea of automating everything so nobody has to work anymore. The idea itself is great, but do you think that all the tech bros who are spearheading AI right now have that future in mind? Or do you think they just want to be the top dog with this new technology and grab as big a piece of a proverbial pie as they can?
Considering there is a war in Europe I'd say, compared to the covid era, a gaming shrink is expectable, although the real reasons are probably that corporations want to cut costs, not that the demand would be drastically shrinking. People might have to find different industries to work in but IMO unemployment numbers are still fairly low. What sucks is that America has shitty lay-off conditions. A buddy of mine works in IT in Europe and got a 10-month severance, so your mileage may wary.
Tbf, Starlight Express is pretty good; don't know how it was done in the US, but here in germany they build a theatre with a special stage custom made for roller skating (aka a skate park but as a stage). They do flips and shit while also having banger music performances. So as dumb as a musical about trains sounds, for some reason it actually comes together pretty great.
To respond to Zeke's hypothetical. Precisely as Rami started out - why are we putting so much focus on trying to automate away all the creative jobs! Beyond that, the other thing that needs to be said is: while *we* would like to not have to work and get to spend our time on what we want and personal/creative endeavors - the system as is, and the people that benefits the most from it, are *very* against any form of decent living unless you spend your time and energy on the things it/they deem profitable. Edit: Also, it needs to be added to that "if you could push a button instead of doing the stream bit" and the follow-up response -- in the world we live in, the reality would rather be that someone else would be the benefactor of that button press and Zeke would be thrust out to do something else that's not "that" (streaming). Continuing to stream as a hobby would still be very much possible, but it would have to be in addition to something else that pays the bills...
I'm not surprised by the 1st trailer of AC Shadows being CG. It's been like this for YEARS with AAA. Firstly, one CG trailer (if not two) then gameplay trailers. And I think it should be reversed. Gameplay first then 1 month or 2 weeks before the release: one last trailer. The final cinematic trailer with pristine CG. The hype trailer, basically.
If it's all automated, as in food & products, then just setup a universal basic income. If money even matters by then. If fusion happens, and we get more energy out than in, we could just automate everything and just do what we want for the love of it.
1:19:11 just to correct rami. biggest game of the year is not balatro. not even close. it's a very good game for sure but no where near biggest game of the year. that would go to helldivers 2, which sold 12m copies within 3months
Jupiter ascending was the most painful cinema experience of my life. I had never before wanted to walk out of a film until that movie. And I couldn’t. I was trapped in the middle of a row of a packed out cinema begging for this film to end. I felt like I was having the worst and weirdest trip of all time.
1:17:00 - Only people thinking about buying the game, care about the price-tag. Whereas anyone who views porn wants the characters to look more appealing, because like it or not they're going to show up sooner or later.
On the AI vs Human surgeon question I'm surprised no one brought up the fact a human surgeon has empathy, I can trust a human to do something that is less efficient but will hurt less, etc
2:02:47 Imagine being the poor guy who the AI is trained on. "Yeah so we trained the AI on Joe here, we set the parameters to 1 kick a minute and let it run for 1h, after that we figured out that we need a metal frame to hold Joe up because Joe couldn't get up fast enough after being kicked. After the installation of the frame we got in a fabulous training session with 1 kick a minute for 1h and that seemed like a good pace so we let that run for a week."
Holy FUCK! The "greenscreen antics" MURDERED tummy with laughter. That was awesome, guys!
What a killer podcast, this was incredible
Just want to echo what others are saying (engagement go brrr) and say that it was so great to Rami back on the show! It's always a pleasure seeing Jesse Cox on as well. Really enjoyed this line up and episode.
That one was one of the greatest, such a great chemistry between everyone!
Watching JP try to hold this show together, like a man trying to stop the tide with his hands.
Such a good flow in this one.
Everyone really into the conversations!
Caught this live; It was such a treat to hear Rami talk about the industry and I always love it when Jesse is on.
This might be the best episode of the podcast ever. 🤣
Jesse AND Rami! This is gonna be spicy, i'll make the popcorn 🍿
Wait, you put spice on your popcorn? Interesting.
@@arthurchen6464 remind me to tell you my habanero-popcorn story, sometime.
FF7 Rebirth Dropped Frame with ItmeJp, Cohh, Max Dood, Jesse Cox, Strippin, and Rami is going to be awesome
This episode was amazing. Gotta love the balance of dread and comedy mixed together
Hope you go again to dodgin'cox podcast. Just the greatest de-railer when you're not hosting.
Now, I have to watch Jupiter ascending 😅
Former history teacher Jesse Cox coming through with Industrial Revolution FACTS
Will echo a lot of what the others were saying. Everyone was really into the conversations and it was such a treat! Really like when everyone is fully involve!
Only 2 hours in and I can already confidently say this has been one of if not THE most thought-provoking and important Drop Frames discussions ever.
1:07:43

hell yeah always a good time to have Rami, especially when the industry is burning
Absolutely love those Rami episodes!
Square making PC more of a priority with releases is the best news to come out in a long time. Thank god.
Re: Game price. The numbers would work better if you weren't paying CEOs 30 million dollars a year with a 20 million dollar bonus on top of their equity.
Best episode ever? Rami and Jessie are fucking legends as always! And holy fuck Zeke LMFAO!
This show was fucking unhinged.. I love it.. More of this please..
Jupiter ascending is on youtube for free! I'm going to rewatch it. I loved it.
The Rami bump makes you feel fulfilled. The Cox bump makes you feel fully filled

Love the internal look behind the scenes that Rami brought to this episode. ❤❤
'Rami' episode is always great episode!
Make this the perm dropped frames cast of people. No forced jokes, great flow. Too perfect! We want THIS!
2:23:00 Classic Zeke 😂
Rami is the GOAT when it comes to guests. As much love as Dansgaming gets (and very well-deserved), having Rami around to give an industry perspective is always fantastic.
Really enjoyed the conversations this week! Also my stupid brain, was really entertained by the silly green screen gags. So funny every time.
Awesome episode! Wouldn't mind having these four combo more often.
This was such an insanely good episode of dropped frames. Holy shit.

this is prolly the best episode of frams and geekends in last few months
When I started watching this Podcast today, what I did not expect was an intensive intraction between Jessie and Rami LUL
That was a super entertaining and funny show, definitely need to have rami and jesse on together again
Funniest show in a while, love Jesse and Rami
Let’s go June events are coming up
Knew this was gonna be a good one.
rami F&?% I LOVE YOU MAN. What a great way to explain things
Stellar show. Amazing chemistry between everyone
Fire podcast! I loved it so MUCH!
I think it would be interesting to have a dropped frames with Rami and PirateSoftware discussing their takes on the industry. I bet they would not agree on everything and have a good discourse.

Jesse cant even consider being games subjective. I'll tell him that I loved Rebirth & he'd probably groan then yell at me.
Jupiter Ascending was great, I just feel like it was supposed to be a trilogy smashed into one film.
i love Dropped Frames
Best episode in living memory (not a complementary bot)
Regarding the money part. Measuring just money doesn't mean a lot. What is that proxy for
Rami is always a great guest!
I am 2 hours and 11mins in and this is definitely the best ep of a podcast ive ever watched.
Genuinely a knockout episode this week. Well done. Almost died laughing. 🤣

Here's the real counter-argument to the idea of automating everything so nobody has to work anymore.
The idea itself is great, but do you think that all the tech bros who are spearheading AI right now have that future in mind?
Or do you think they just want to be the top dog with this new technology and grab as big a piece of a proverbial pie as they can?
The AI discussion seems more like people defending their jobs
Some Indies will be fine AAA will move to mobile or just collapse. The live service model and console exclusivity thing is unsustainable.
