GTA 5 SINGLE PLAYER DLC LEAKED? WATCH DOGS DEAD & MORE
maybe I’ll do like a spin maybe I’ll do
like a hello folks no that didn’t feel
right hello hi folks today is Friday
April 26 2024 as usual my name is Jake
baldino here to talk about all the video
game news that has been going on this
week yes once again it’s Jake on the
road in a weird hotel room I’m traveling
for secret reasons but we have video
game news to talk about so let’s just
jump in the first thing it’s a lot of
rumors and speculation this week so so
just you know get ready for that uh but
the biggest thing right now is really a
little Grand Theft Auto news and a
little birdie a little detail about what
could have been with GTA 5 single player
DLC this has been a thing for a while I
mean some people I feel like at this
point GTA 5 has been out for so long
that some people like weren’t even born
yet but there was originally seemingly
plans to do single player expanded
content you know the expectation was
that GTA 5 will continue in GTA 4’s
footsteps uh with something like ballot
of Gay Tony law and Dam something like
that and there was never anything but
thankfully now uh the actors the voice
actors for the main characters of GTA V
have kind of gone on record uh this was
reported by the loadout it was on uh
stream.com a conversation with the
actors and we got some details believe
it or not very small but still the
biggest comes from actor Steven OG who
of course played Trevor I will link the
whole podcast in description down below
as well as all the news I talk about
today but the quote is Trevor was going
to be undercover he works for the Fed
and we did shoot some of that stuff with
James Bond Trevor he’s still kind of a
[ __ ] up but he’s doing his best to
pretend to be like a secret agent we
shot some stuff and then it just
disappeared and Rockstar never did it
they never followed up on it that to a
lot of people is like highkey almost
confirmation of agent Trevor being a
thing agent Trevor if you don’t know was
like uh dayto mind phrase that people
found thinking that there was going to
be like a Trevor spin-off DLC and agent
Trevor actually sounds like a really
cool idea as a certified Trevor hater I
found him kind of annoying I still think
an agent Trevor type of thing would have
gone for some really good comedy and
like over- the top moments but now it
seems like we’re never getting that
Rockstar has clearly moved on with Grand
Theft Auto 6 I mean they’ve kind of
moved on because they’re doing GTA
online still of course uh with Michael’s
voice actor just suggesting or
speculating that they never followed up
or never continued with because they
were just so busy with GTA online and I
think that’s most people’s assumption I
think that’s a fair assumption but all
we could do now is just kind of sit
around and think about what could have
been hearing about this is that
something that you’d be interested in
playing or not really let me know now
this next story comes from uh leaker
Jonathan on Twitter it’s reported by
Insider gaming so uh it’s people who
sometimes have a decent track record but
take it all with a grain of salt of
course this is rumors and speculation
but this person is saying that the
Watchdog brand the Watchdog franchise as
of right now is dead and buried quote
unquote this possibly because of uh the
failure uh that they suggest of Legion
which Legion wasn’t like a total sales
failure I guess but not a massive huge
hit for Ubisoft and definitely not as
good as the previous two games
sales-wise so they’re pointing to that
there was like apparently a like
Watchdog Battle Royale type thing in the
works or something and uh yeah as of
right now that’s it with the franchise I
would say you know with the headlines
like our headline like Watchdogs is dead
I would say Never Say Never because
money never sleeps and Brands and
franchises will be revived I think that
Watchdog is on Ice more than actually
dead and buried I could see it be
revived at any point also there is like
a movie in the works or there’s like a
script being shopped around or a concept
I don’t know but I think that Watch Dogs
still has kind of struggled to come up
with identity but I still think there’s
something enough there for it to
continue to exist one way or the other
if you know they decide to stop making
big expensive AAA games for it cuz it’s
not worth the risk take Watchdogs and do
weird fun things like how they did with
the of Persia brand with the dead cells
Prince of Persia game lost Crown from
Recently I don’t know that seems cool
but we’ll see where it goes I know a lot
of people want to just point the blame
at Legion you know with it kind of
getting a mixed response from fans and
stuff but ultimately as as someone as a
watchdog enjoyer from the beginning I
think it’s just a series that has always
kind of struggled to really find its
identity for me personally I think uh
the the the character and the kind of
vibe of the first game mixed with some
of the variety and gameplay of the
second game would have been a perfect
mix I’m talking too much I also like I
want to touch upon the fact that like as
much as we we dig on Ubisoft I I’d be
sad not to see more Watch Dogs even if I
wasn’t the biggest fan of Legion they
tried stuff so maybe we’ll see it again
maybe we won’t who knows but that’s one
of the big headlines right now jumping
over here real quick to talk about the
sponsor of today’s video control now
control is all about helping to kill
your Cravings with something healthier
that actually tastes really great like
the Bold concept if what if protein bars
didn’t taste like cardboard and chalk
control is owned and operated by Gamers
and they’re trying to get Gamers to eat
and snack a bit healthier myself
included you know I’m on the grind all
day I’m playing games I’m not the best
at following up on this stuff but I do
exercise so there are things that my
body needs and with control I’d say
their biggest product is the meal
replacement shakes it beats a bland
tasting meal replacement shake by a mile
I’ve been having the cookies and cream
one I’ve been slamming this for a while
now tastes delicious but it also has 23
g of protein a gram of sugar 8 G of
fiber 230 calories and it keeps full and
satisfied for over 3 hours if you’re
gaming or exercising or or just living
your life they also offer protein
cookies if you’re looking to hit your
Macros and satisfy your sweet tooth
these also have protein fiber 22
vitamins and minerals as well as 4 G of
collagen but my absolute favorite is the
protein meal bar this thing is so far
from Bland it tastes delicious it’s
almost a candy bar gives me the protein
I need and the peanut butter s’mores
variety is just so good if you’re
interested control offers a bundle

sponsoring this video also sticking with
Insider gaming uh linked below they are
reporting on Assassin’s Creed hex stuff
like a leak so to speak uh you know I
don’t want to talk too much about it
because I don’t want this video to get
taken down because it is so early but
Insider gaming has gotten Ubisoft and
Assassin’s Creed stuff correct in the
past and apparently hex is going to be
part of that Assassin’s Creed Infinity
platform and it’s going to have a female
protagonist
set during the time period that was
already announced but it’s going to be
focused around her being pursued by like
German soldiers and it’s going to be
more of like a linear more story-based
experience if if you ask me that’s cool
they’ve said from the beginning with
this one that this is going to be a very
different Assassin’s Creed game and at
this point the games are so all over the
place with massive open world RPGs and
some kind of Throwbacks to the original
games and then of course those original
games if this is its own weird thing
sure why not we had a pirate game game
it felt weird for them to make a pirate
game and then the Pirate game turned out
to be absolutely awesome and I’m still
talking about it so we’ll see where that
goes I think it’s still a ways away
there’s a lot more Assassin’s Creed
coming before that Assassin’s Creed red
of course and who knows what else next
let’s talk about Sonic the Hedgehog
because last week I try to like report
on like the entertainment news side of
things but I forgot to mention that
Kiana Reeves is officially cast as
Shadow the Hedgehog for Sonic the
Hedgehog 3 I think those movies are good
and I think that’s a really cool Choice
are they going to give this Shadow
actually a gun I really hope so because
Keanu guns just kind of makes sense you
know
yeah don’t put that in I don’t know or
do I don’t know yeah yeah no yeah I
don’t know I’m going crazy P has said
that it is the year of Shadow but uh a
new Rumor Has Come about this week about
Sonic Frontiers 2 the rumor suggests
that is going to be taking the
foundation the footprint and the ideas
of Sonic Frontier
uh but blowing it out in a new game and
it may not necessarily be called Sonic
Frontiers 2 it might be Sonic something
else and I will say as somebody who went
on record a lot about Sonic Frontiers I
think this is good I want that formula
to be pursued because I liked a lot of
the ideas and some of the gameplay
Concepts in Sonic Frontiers it just felt
like it was coming in hot like it felt
like messy otherwise they figured out
some things but then they didn’t have
any time to spend on other things so now
that they got some of the gameplay flow
and formula right I would love to see
them blow it out in something way more
interesting and hopefully less bugs and
weird frame rate and graphical issues
and and just more interesting and
cohesive all around this rumor does come
from Daniel rpk it was reported by
comicbook.com in a bunch of places so we
we don’t know for sure but I I don’t
know I feel like it’s a safe bet Sega is
going to make another Sonic game big
surprise and Sonic Frontiers was a
success next up we’ve got a bunch of
like new games dropping it it’s been a
busy week so the first one I want to
highlight is hand land this is out now
this is the new RPG based on of course
the great works of the late great Akira
Toriyama so there’s that we didn’t have
time to do before you buy uh I apologize
we are a small team we are quality over
quantity uh we don’t want to try and
take on too many reviews and mess
something up and piss you guys off so no
review on that one from us but overall
it seems like it’s being well received
also I want to play this one another
crabs treasure this is from smaller
studio uh and this is a SS like but like
you are a little cute underwater
crab I don’t think there’s anything to
add other than just again put up the
gameplay here it’s it’s a crab and
you’re killing [ __ ] cool also the
Fallout 4 nextg update dropped for PS5
Xbox series X and S and then there’s
some PC stuff as well we did put out a
before you buy on that if you want to
check that out if you’re looking to jump
back into the Wasteland after the new
show or just for whatever reason there
you go also Stellar blade is out uh at
this point if you’re watching and I
reviewed it and I really liked it I
think it’s a good fun action combat game
it’s not perfect it’s got some like
crappy stuff in it but like I think the
combat and the visuals and the
presentation is so cool that it’s just
fun and I recommend it to most action
fans also Manor Lords City Builder with
a kind of different spin uh it’s a very
small Indie studio type thing but it
released An Early Access and the
reception has been great so far we also
put out a before you buy four that we’ve
been busy but also don’t miss Tales of
kenzer Zhao uh this is a Metro Vania
Style game this was announced at the
game awards with actor Abu bakar Salem
who uh made the game kind of uh dealing
with the grief of his father and I
started the first couple of hours of it
and it’s very cool it’s not as complex
as something like a Prince of Persia
lost Crown but it makes up for it in
like story and dialogue and just an
interesting Adventure also it’s like a
lower priced game so there’s that but on
the other hand Top Spin is back um
there’s a new Top Spin game it’s seems
like people are digging it the reviews
are pretty good I remember playing the
original Xbox Top Spin back in the day
and loving it and not knowing a thing
about tennis so I I might I might
consider checking this one out some
point uh then we also just have new game
trailers for stuff that’s not out yet uh
first and foremost Arena breakout
infinite this is getting uh Early Access
release on May 8th and it’s another
extraction shooter but this one is
pretty also mudrunner VR this is a quest
VR experience like a mud Runner thing
people are still asking for like native
fully implemented PC VR support myself
included but for now there’s this
experience also don’t miss tales of the
Shire so this is dropping in 2024 and
this to me almost is like Animal
Crossing but with Hobbits that’s a good
that’s a good thing you know I think
they’re trying to get creative with some
of these Lord of the Rings games like uh
you know return to Moria more like that
less like Gollum please but this trailer
is great because it just straight up
says right at the beginning there are
awesome adventures in Middle Earth and
kicking ass and doing [ __ ] this isn’t
about that this is about chilling and
you know sometimes I think we just need
a Vibe game a game where you turn off
your brain and you just do a fishing
mini game or whatever but that’s life
that’s about where we’re at for the
gaming news I got to go but uh you know
you can always yell at me on Twitter
Instagram social media whatever Jake
