We see you have a lot of questions about the podcasts moving to a new channel. We'll try to answer them here. We're going to have playlists for each of the podcasts on the new channel -- so you can just hit "save playlist" and hopefully find the show easily when you want to watch."Why not post to the existing channel in addition to IGN Games?" We considered this, but it causes issues with both duplication/promotion, splits the community, and is much more complex for our syndication team. Not only will this allow more people to discover our shows, but it'll also enable us to use new features like the community tab, helps with moderation and rights management, and so on. The Games channel isn't going to be posting 20+ pieces of content like our big, main IGN channel.KZfaq is tricky to program with long-form talk content, and the once-a-week upload strategy hasn't been working for us. The podcasts rarely get surfaced outside of their channels, whereas we've seen success with Next-Gen Console watch on our main IGN channel. So, the idea was to create a channel dedicated to all games content. If you subscribe and only watch a podcast, I'm sure it's what you'll see in your feed. If not, you can always save the podcast playlist and find the new episodes that way. We know it's an inconvenience for some of our existing subscribers, but hopefully the change will be pretty minimal -- and we'll have more fans discovering the podcast. The more viewers we get, the more time and money we can put into it.

I love the fact that in hypothetical retirement, Tina's perfect gaming experience is playing multiplayer games with the rest of the Omega Cops.

I hope the show logo is more prominent when the change happens. A lot of IGN content looks the same when I’m browsing through my feed.

That Banjo-Kazooie intro was great!

Hi, Just wanted to thank you guys for the hard work and keeping me amused every week. SCOOP!!!

Channel change doesn’t bother me at all as long as I have Scoop each week I’m happy! Thanks for continuing to make such an amazing podcast.

"Well frankly, baby Justina, the reason you're not Cat Peach is cause you're bad"

Game scoop staff, Suggestion for game scoop. If the cast correctly solves the 20 questions, can we be rewarded with a Daemon dad joke?

Dude, I’ll follow you guys where ever tf you go. Inconvenience my ass - let’s migrate, everyone 👉🏽

Starting the episode with Banjo Kazooie music is the best way to start Game Scoop!

Can't find IGN GAMES channel. Doesn't seem to be linked to IGN's main channel either. Please halp?

Daemon is such a professional, that customer service segment was handled very well! Will NG+ be on IGN Games, also?

I've only listened to Scoop on Spotify but I was curious to see the gang in action. Just wanted to say thank you. I've been binge listening to the show and it's helped get me through quite a tough period.

If Game Scoop could only be watched from the peak of mount everest i'd still tune in every week. :-)

Am I the only one that’s glad this podcast exists.. thank you guys for the content

That banjo intro made my morning

0:32 But 1st game scoop move 2:52 Ghost and Goblins 5:00 Like a Dragon 17:21 Skyrim 21:01 Justin playing 24:46 Final fantasy 32:23 episode 2000 42:34 controller drift 50:09 20 questions

If you didn't ride a horse in Tsushima you're insane. Lol

Another Great jumping on point for the Yakuza series is,Judgment. It's made by the Yakuza team and takes place in the same city, but tells a Detective story with a new protagonist and new side characters. It has full English voice over like Yakuza 7, but has the traditional brawler combat of the rest of the series,, mixed with new crime scene searching/deduction gameplay, tailing missions, and some interview/trial, pick the right question moments. It's wonderful and getting an upgraded version in March. (Though it isn't a free upgrade for ps4 owners).

Just wanted to say I love the Banjo Kazooie intro music for this episode. Brings back all the feels.

29:46 AWWWW - the kitty purring!

That PS2 control stick "goo" was the bane of my existence as a used game store employee. I've noticed the GameCube controllers do it to a lesser extent as well.

Are y’all going to make a regular announcement on the regular IGN channel to remind us when this new channel goes live and we can actually subscribe?

Wow no one is on a weird video delay 😂 excellent

I really wish they, IGN, didn't force Game Scoop to join the new channel. It feels like IGN wants to leverage the move to push other content onto this audience.

IGN Games subscribers will mostly be scoopers because it's the #1 gaming podcast..DUH!

What a perfect way to end a Monday....bedtime stories told to me by the Goose Campers. Thanks for getting this up today! It was a long weekend waiting for it.

Phewf... thought we were going back to no video for a second there.

Well, that's it! Best day of my life!! Daemon talks about playing my favorite video game of all time, and answers my question on the show!!!!! Hey Daemon, what's your character build like? Thanks Goosecamp!!!

Thanks for the update. That's also the reason I am not subscribed to IGN but I am to Game Scoop. I am only interested in some of their content. Yes, saving it on a playlist is a good compromise. How I wish IGN, the main channel, does this for their content also so that I have a way to keep track of the series I'm interested in.

Love gamescoop and love that you guys are still releasing videos even after how the past year has been. Can’t wait to follow the omega cops on the new ign games channel. It really is the ONLY gaming podcast

If "drift" is the character movement not matching the player's input, then my dualsense has drift. The left analog stick has reduced range/sensitivity between the clock positions of 12 and 2 so that, for example, my character in demon's souls tends to walk in that direction instead of the normal run from having the stick pressed all the way. My second controller has had no issues. Great episode, thanks for pointing out that the new channel will have specific playlists. That makes it super easy to copy and paste in an existing bookmark.

Horses are crap!? The Witcher 3 would like to speak to you. Really though, I'm a huge fan and have been a listener/watcher for some time and am extremely proud to still be listening to the only videogame podcast out there.

I always found it strange that all the podcasts were on their own 'un-IGN-branded' channels. Awesome that you're condensing everything, hopefully it will attract more listeners/viewers to your other pods.

I am playing Skyrim as well. I have a boatload of cosmetic mods turned on and the game looks good for being as old as it is.

I’ll follow you wherever you go Game Scoop!

I’m not sure what Justin is talking about where he says that in Mario co-op whenever somebody dies they stay dead until the checkpoint or end of a level. If a player dies, they just press a button and they come back. This can be done as many times as you want as long as you have lives.

Justin is hitting the nail on the head with his experience playing Mario 3D world with his kid. I also play with my 4 year old and it can be fun but also, very frustrating, just with the bubble system. I may look into Sackboy at this point as my patience for 3D world is running thin. However, my daughter still loves "cat mario" just too much to quit.

I found the camp charm and refined battle system of FF7R (and the music!!) gave me so much energy that I didn't really hitch too hard on the sidequest padding. I did hate backtracking through that sewer. As a newcomer that didn't play the original I could not have been happier. Let's just see if the Nomura goofiness doesn't detract from the solid elements as this hilarious, weird plot unfolds. "I have no idea who these characters are, but welcome aboard"

Banjo Kazooie intro = instant like ❤️

Good episode guys! Thanks!

Scoop! Glad to see Yakuza 7 getting some love too, it was my personal GOTY in 2020.

Persona (with 5 Strikers) is another example of a genre completely changing to another and it works.

The Yakuza chat reminds me of yakuza0 got near the end, figured the cutscene I was entering was the end, and between the odd little bit of walking or single fights that end cutscene was 2hrs or more... I had a late night that day...

I hope this move doesn't mean that I'll see Beyond and Unlocked in my feed now- I'm only interested in watching Scoop! and NVC.

I'm glad Yakuza Like a Dragon is getting love. I have been playing it for a few weeks and it is amazing!

Thank you guys for entertaining me, I love this podcast. I'm a big fan of the original FF7 and I absolutely love the remake, one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.

Whenever there is the pause after "Remember you can always reach us at the email address gamescoop at ign dot com just like........" I know big tony styles is a-comin

The same company that helped with the PS5 controller designed the HD rumble for the joy cons.

@Tina, you can change the map in Yakuza so it’s not fixed, there is indeed a setting for that

IGN game awards needs a "Too small to be a homerun" award for games like Bowser's Fury

Game reviews, trailers, console watch, etc... will they all be on the new IGN games channel, or will that just be for podcasts?

The cut-scene thing is so true about all the older Yakuza Games and even Judgment. I have my controller to disable after 5 minutes of inactivity. And I remember it gets disabled so often during a cut-scene and my audio gets cut because my headphone is connected through the controller. Although I am not a fan of this turn based combat. I prefer the older brawler action.

The can thing happened to me with the Star Wars Episode I PepsiCo Cans. I had collected the whole set but then they seeped out after a few years.

Love the banjo Kazooie intro music! I gotta admit I love final fantasy vii remake as someone who never cared for early FF games. No nostalgia but absolutely love the story they made out of a tiny part of the original game and I just want more time in that universe. So bring all the DLC! We won't get an ending for 5+ years to this so it's nice to get some DLC to keep me playing.

In 3D world you can constantly bring your partner back if you have lives and in 1-2 you can get Max lives

I might take some heat for this but Judgment has the best story and combat in the whole Yakuza series, and it's an isolated narrative same thing as Like A Dragon. There all great though.

I really hope the next part of FF7 remake is the rest of the game. Probably won’t be but I’d wait longer to just get it all. I’d compare it to MSG GZ and MGS PP. With what is essentially a tutorial to the main game. I would prefer that so much more over a million different parts spread across a decade.

At exactly 50:59 there should have been a hard cut to 3 completely random people who complete the rest of 20 questions, and then it's never acknowledged again.

Tina/Sam, do and complete the management mini game as soon as you can. You'll need a lot of money in Like a Dragon and this will solve that for you.

MONDAY SCOOP!!! Bummer this channel is going away though. Any plans to have old episodes re-uploaded to that gamescoop playlist in the new channel? Or will we still come here for old ones?

is there a link for the new channel?

Agreed with Sam's sentiments about the new Ghosts n Goblins. In an age where 2D platformers have reached new heights with titles like Dead Cells, I think Capcom really missed an opportunity here to bring the series up to modern standards. The art style is beautiful but your character's moveset and enemy spawn/attack patterns really look like they're still stuck in an 80's arcade setting where draining every last one of your quarters is the main objective.

If Ricardo O' skeleton is there, im game!

I am now complete ... I had gotten my XBox series X in December off of the XBox Live store. Today ... through Walmart. I have officially scored a PS5

I agree that the FFVII remake looks like it will be split up too much with way too much padding. If they hadn't made Midgar a full game and could wrap it up in two (three at most) games it would have made me happier.

I can't find the new channel? Anyone have a link?

I heard this change about the channels on Nintendo Voice Chat, IGN's Nintendo Podcast, and I'm still confused by it even though it's super simple. It's just going to be on a channel called IGN Games along with the other podcasts if I understand correctly.

When IGN Games launches, would you please comment the link on this video and pin it so that people have an easier time following you to the new location for these podcasts? Love the show, keep it going!

The drift issue is so egregious in a 70 euro controller. I learned to change mine and the cheap Chinese one that I put in so much better, makes me question what level of quality they are actually putting in these expensive controllers. When I got my switch I was being so careful with it after reading all the drift issues but it still happened on both my left controllers. Since they are already dead for me I decided to watch a "Spawn wave" video and order the 12 euro (15 dollars I guess) kit from amazon. The kit came with 2 sticks to I was able to fix both and it was so simple to fix as well. Since I know how to fix them I have given them much more abuse and yet they are still working 1.5 year later, with no issues

Fav Show SCOOOP

Response to Justin on playing prequels first... I contend that playing Snake Eater before playing the Metal Gear series is the way to go!

I want Daemon to say “ But first !” And walk in frame backwards......

Tina’s cat is super adorable!

Great episode, but how could you not talk about Diablo 2 "Resurected" or Diablo 4?

Ryan from Syracuse??? Awesome! Reppin the 315!!! Lol

I cannot find this new channel yet...where is it at? Tried googling and KZfaq searching and all that.

i wish they would call it IGN Games Podcasts or IGN Podcasts. just calling it “IGN Games” makes it sound like there will be gameplay, walkthroughs, tutorials, etc

Weird, you announce your moving to a new channel but give no link to the new channel lol

No more gamescoop on gamescoop channel!?

These shows need time stamps, I really wish ign podcast would use time stamps

PS5 DualSense controller are not hard to get, there in stock everywhere you look, and my retail stores have walls of them. The console and other accessories are harder to get, but controllers are plentiful. Now, where are some new colors!

I have a question about the new channel: what’s a KZfaq video?

Professional beatboxer 29:55

You can’t think of a game where you would want to be in? Like there are so many games

My joy con drifted and I sent it away to Nintendo and they fixed it for free (really quickly too but this was a while ago), and since then have had no issues. PS5s seems scarier based on their hypothesis on why it’s drifting (the wearing down of the sensors to determine where the joystick is) which isn’t an easy fix

Neither console has a lot of games hitting 4k AND 60fps. It's not just the ps5 Sam.

Your partner respawns anywhere in 3D World as long as you have lives, and your partner only respawns at checkpoints in Sackboy. I love both games, but he is just absolutely wrong about that. It's like he got them backwards.

Daemon, GOTTA PLAY SKYRIM in VR....It's awesome

Have to start Yakuza 4 eventually.

Ryan McCaffrey!!! 27:42

damn man.... game scoop on youtube keeps getting tossed around like we dont matter smh. i wish the world appreciated yall.

Daemon i watch every episode of next gen console watch but youtube never seems to recommend them to me, is that also coming to the new channel

When the new channel goes up, could you make a quick video or youtube announcement post thing so we know where to find it. You probably should have the channel open so people can subscribe... but idk, I'm not an algorithm expert

sadly the opposite of what justin said happened for yakuza lad, i personally enjoyed the game quite a bit but it flopped on the sales charts in the west partly due to xbox paying sega to delay the ps5 version which would have produced the bulk of the sales as the core yakuza fanbase plays on playstation

Can't find IGN GAMES channel. when will it be live

Guessing the new channel isnt live yet. At least I can't find it. Any idea when we can sub to it?

A new IGN channel? Reminds me of IGN START...I miss those shows. :(

Tina is back. Yay

Okay I actually kind of agree with Daemon here. I almost never ride the horses in games. Even in BOTW.
