What's up, guys. Welcome to the first ever episode 23 of the Kind of Funny Games cast. This is a very special one, guys. Yeah. This is the one leading into E3. Whoa. Yeah. Now, if you guys don't know, we've got the coolest dudes in video games right here. Colin Moriarty, Greg Miller, and Portillo, we're trying out something new.

If you've listened to the game over Gregi's show, that would be going up at the same time for Patreon people as this show, you know, that we were debating the best way to seat Portillo at the table. Because I get pushed off the mic when he's in my lap. So we're doing this. But of course, Portillo thinks this means he's getting a bark-bop. So we got to slowly He's like shaking We gotta wean him off There was another option

That I don't know if you considered And this is a this is a This is a kind of one of those crazy options Which is that maybe the dog doesn't need to be in the room I know that that's one of the crazier The crazier got options You started with it yeah yeah Just keep in mind

He's a pretty popular part of the show He is I'm not saying he isn't I'm just saying it's this wasn't the only solution To this problem In fact this was maybe the more complicated And unnecessary of all of the solutions Let's put his bed on the table I'm just saying we're trying something out

I'm gonna see how it is Nick sits uncomfortably sometimes too in the game of a Gregie show Are we just gonna like are we Okay are we gonna bring the toilet Into the room for Nick Is he just gonna sit on the toilet We probably should

That would be that would be good Production would go up for sure Oh look at him See he's doing stuff Once he understands he's not getting anything He'll just go to bed It'll be fun He's doing something though

He's old This is one of his only tricks The half roll The paralysis My God All right guys So here's the deal We got E3 coming up

very soon. This is very exciting. Now, what's interesting about us is, let's get into the rigamar roll here, the kind of funny games cast, the show where we talk about video games. And what we do is we break it up topic by topic every day, Monday through Thursday, over on YouTube.com slash Kind of Funny Games. Full episode goes up on Friday. You can get it early. Patreon.com slash

kind of funny games. But what's interesting about this is, like, two weeks out from now. But how we're recording it now, we're going to be making predictions and stuff. And it's going to be a little thrown off. Because when people are listening to this, no matter when they're listening to it, even if it's early. Usually the show isn't as topical. That's my point.

We try to keep you more evergreen. Yeah, we try to just talk about more general topics. This, I think, we might say some stuff that's going to be a little out of date by the time they hear it. So we're going to make predictions. And you're saying that by the time our prediction on Wednesday post, maybe news had broken on Tuesday. So I'm just letting the people know. Not that it matters, because really we're just kind of fucking top. For the record, we recorded this on Tuesday, June 2nd, 439.

Yeah. Pacific Daylight. Time. Sure. Yeah. Right? Is there a difference between daylight and standard?

Yes. Yes. PDT and PST. The fuck. That's why you say PT. You don't put the... We're not PSD. Well, sometimes we are.

Half the year you are. Half the year you're your PST. To not do that, you do PT. Good Lord. Yeah. Because it's the daylight savings. It's rigamaral. I learned some things today, guys.

All right. So what we're going to do is we're going to have... Normally we have the four topics. We'll have the three normal topics, and the last topic will be just the random people from the internet giving us... What? I can't do it. I'm putting the dog on the ground.

The shot looks like we have a dead dog. We have like a wake for this dog. I can't do it. I'm sorry. You're lying in state. He's like Lenin or something. Come on, big guy. See, the funniest thing, I was giving it the whole ring roll.

You kept looking over it. You smiled. And I was like, why is he smiling? The microphone doesn't need. No, no, no, it's fine. He wants that bed. He thinks something's happening. He thinks he's getting something.

Portillo. It's not all about you all the time. All right. Usually it's about Greg. It's not about you, Portillo. He's learning too much from you. He's going to freaking dive. He's learning too much from you, Greg.

Go fall in the nice stuff. All right. So what we're going to do differently this week is instead of, we're going back to the old school games cast. Because that could be a thing at this point. There's been 23 episodes. So doing something more like, I don't know, maybe the 12th episode where we didn't do the mailbag,

grab bag. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah, we're just going to have four topics that are our own topics. First topic is going to be Sony. Predictions for their press conference. Second topic will be Microsoft, then Nintendo, then third parties.

It's going to be fun. Now, you guys have a little tradition over on this other thing that you used to do. Yeah, the old podcast we used to do. Two guys and a girl. Yeah. That's a good name for it. Yeah. What we're going to do is we're going to go a little bit beyond that. And you guys are going to make predictions for what's going to happen at the press conference. conferences.

Five predictions for every press conference. Now I have a bunch of just, I'm not going to necessarily make predictions. You're the host. Yeah. I'm just going to, I have a bunch of games and we'll bring them up and see what you guys think of whether or not they'll be there. Ladies and gentlemen, you have to go to Kindoffunny.com slash forums and keep track of this for us.

Mitchell Morgan, of course, no longer with us. Didn't die. Just really focused out in school. So he can't be our bet tracker. Yeah. So we're doing the normal with the predictions here. Colin's going to have fucking granulary shit predictions so that he can get point two points. Oh, I play it.

No. I don't milk it. I want to win truly. In fact, you could stop this right now, host, and you could say full points only. Okay, full points only. Ah, he's my puppet. That's not the way the tradition was.

I don't care. There's a new tradition here. Okay. My only prediction is next year will be the year of the Yos. It's finally happening. All the companies are just going to give in, and they're just going to build a shrine for Yoshi, and all games are going to start Yoshi.

All right, so what we're going to do first. I don't know we're just getting rid of traditions, we'll get rid of Christmas while we're at it. Um, before we get into all that, though, I'll just talk about E3 in general. Okay. So today was announced that Jeff Keely is going to be hosting YouTube's live stream. Right. Right.

So it's first ever actual. So it's YouTube.com slash E3. Nice. So that's crazy. Those bastards. How'd they get that? Oh, they're YouTube. Yeah.

Um, so that's really fucking cool. They're going to do a lot of stuff. Rooszscheet's going to be a part of it. That's exciting. They're going to have a whole bunch of guests and stuff. Maybe we'll be there. Who knows? That's going to be pretty fun.

I'm excited for that. There's also a whole bunch of other ways that people can watch. I think there's more live streams going on this year for E3 than there ever has been. So it's exciting. As a, not us, but like for the people that are staying home and not going to be at E3, you can be able to see. It's exciting for us too because we're doing live streams. Yes.

We're doing pre-and-post shows for every conference on Twitch.tv. That includes Bethesda Sunday night, then all Monday. Then Tuesday through Thursday, we're on GameSpot, hosting our show there. So that's what's going out. The GameSpot's doing it. IGN's doing it. Game trailers is doing it. Twitch is doing it.

Like, there's a lot of stuff happening. Right. But what you guys need to know. The most important thing is that Kind of Funny Games will be streaming pre and post shows for all of the conferences Throughout Sunday and Monday Right?

You nailed it. You nailed it. Oh yeah, I just said that. There we go. There we go. And then... Got put on your list in the ears.

Yep, yep. I understand. He's in the rigumeral. I get that way too. I get that way too. And then yeah, so then we're going to do GameSpots thing. And I'm really excited for that

because we got some crazy shit plan for that and I'm excited you guys are going to like it a lot and talking about video games to a lot of cool people. Specifically about some Sony stuff. Let's get into it. So we're doing predictions right now. Start with the predictions.

Colin, you begin. Oh, you want to just do that without even trying to figure out who goes first? All right. Was that one of the predictions? Is that one of the traditions we used to do? We used to just least figure it out. Well, how do we do it?

What do you want to do? Rock, paper, scissors, shoot? Yeah. One, two, show? No, one, two, three, show. Okay. We like wasting a lot of time. One, two, three, show.

Ah! Things happened. At least it was fair. So I'm firing the first volley from my Sony list. Name changes are a go. They're going to announce that you can finally change your PlayStation Network name.

I like that. Yeah, I know you do. Your really thing is going to happen? I don't know. It's a dumb prediction. I have a bunch of boring predictions that I'm sure Colin and I are going to go. Did you go boring? Did you go off of like research or what did you do?

I just went with my balls. Okay. Best way to go. What's your next one? First one, whatever. Do you not, does everybody think that's not going to happen? I don't think that's... I don't think that's an interesting, I don't know if that's like E3 or the...

Because my original thing was going to be that three, from where 3.0 was go. And they had some... fucking shit in there you want. Because they've been working on that, I know. Yeah, I mean. But this is something you'd want in there. People do underestimate that is the most requested feature on PlayStation Network. And it has been for years.

Yeah. So it would be something that I think would be at a press conference. But I don't know if they're ready. I don't either, but I'm putting it out there. And I'm not saying day of. It's just, it's time. It's time. Maybe they give you a date, a window.

The last Guardian is re-revealed for PlayStation 4. They show a new trailer for it with a release date this fall. Whoa. Okay. So when you say trailer. Are we getting gameplay or is it some CG bullshit? Probably both. Okay.

The game's been in development. Sony swears up and down has for years that the game is in development and being worked on actively at Japan Studio. Now is the time. The game will be shown at E3. And I know I make that prediction a lot. Yeah. Just every time we do one of these predictions. So again, there's your tradition.

Your tradition. Well, we're not going to break that. So the last Guardian re-revealed PlayStation 4. And it will be coming really go to bed. We have his bed. And it will be coming This year And therefore no more gap

On see understand that they have nothing to gain By teasing this game again They have to just show it and release it Right And so it'll either be at either year games come But I do believe that that game's coming out This year Yeah

I think that's the more shocking thing They don't gain anything by By playing You know by playing around with it anymore Like when it's going to be shown It's imminent You know because like the game just needs to come out now But I do believe it's real

And I believe it will come out Okay Do you think that's a holiday title though? Yes, especially with Uncharted out, they need a game. And everyone's looking at this gap being like, well, there's nothing there. And I'm like, well, there's certainly going to be something there. So that's what I think it's going to be. Okay.

My next prediction comes from Colin. I'm going to go out. But we're putting it into the official box here of what's happening at E3. Morpheus gets more than 15 minutes of stage time. I'm going to sit there and talk about Project Morpheus and try to sell you on Project Morpheus. And it's not going to go well. That's the wrong way. I enjoy Colin.

I enjoy Colin a lot. I'm glad somebody does. Project Morpheus will be discussed for 20 minutes or less Oh, well it was it 2015 or 20 I'm saying 20 You can say whatever you want Well no we had an official thing from the show I thought I thought it was 15 we settled on

Did you go do up to 20? I'm going up to 20 okay So both of us can possibly be right about Interesting interesting Morphus will be discussed for only 20 minutes or less The primary reason I think this is because the games Cannot be effectively shown But I think that there will be connectivity with games

That you don't expect as one of my predictions will Reveal but it's hard It's hard to show VR on a stage like that and I think they're smart enough to not do it for very long. See, I think they're going to have a way to do it. I just think they won't.

I mean, there's just be first person shooting looking. I really hope that it, like, falls in, like, that five minutes to make Colin Wright,

and you wrong. Why? I don't know. It's been to be fun. I'll give you some other ones, Greg. No, you'll be good.

You never do. You never give me anything. You're a monster. The next one's calling. Okay. I think the PlayStation Vita will be lowered to that $90 price tag

that keeps getting her kick around. That $89. $89. 99, right? For a Vita? Yeah. Thus signifying, it's over. Damn.

I think that's true. $90. Yeah? Sounds like a weird MSRP. 89.99 is what I was saying. That's the rumor. That's even a rumor for a while, yeah.

And I'm saying I believe it. It's a legacy system if you didn't hear. I'm not going to identify cost, but I'll say that both PlayStation 4 and Vita get price drops. No real need to drop PlayStation 4's price. this of course will affect PlayStation 4 or Sony in negative ways in terms of money lost $50 per console over millions of consoles but there's something that tells me it's time

momentum is not shifting necessarily but it's it's balancing out Xbox 1 out sold PlayStation 4 for instance last month if Sony can do it even if they drop it to 379 or something like that that's just a way to get more people in the store and more people interested in it because obviously Xbox 1 is cheaper and you have to play that game eventually it doesn't make a lot of financial sense. I'm not 100% confident in that prediction. But I think

that PlayStation 4 and Vita will both get price cuts. And I would say, if I was going to guess what it would be, it would be something like $11999 for Vita and $3.4999 for PS4. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I'd be shocked at a Vita under 100.

I'm just saying that's been the rumor. And I think, I'm thinking Sony's getting ready to divest in this thing. They're just going to be like, whatever. If you're porting your games over to it, Great. It's still there. Still there.

Still has a hardcore following that buys games all the time. Go get them. console again. I don't like this. Now, does it have a Bluade drive? One terabyte PS4? Yeah. Yeah. They don't have to to play the games, wasn't it?

Well, the rumors, really some of the rumors I was reading yesterday, I was saying that it's the one terabyte in whatever schematics or whatever the fuck. It did not have a Blu-ray drive. And it was focused on digital download. No way. No, they wouldn't do that. The FCC, the FCC filing as leaked shows that the numbers of the console, in other words, like the code numbers are not changed other than one digit, which means it's exactly

the same. except for the internal workings Plus this goes back to our whole GameStop thing They can't go in there And shoot off their mouths Yeah

We can't pull a PSB go here Yeah exactly Even though we should Because PSB go is awesome No No Why wasn't the PSP go off Because it has the same

goddamn problem The Vita does It has those little baby buttons Those are nice buttons Those are good ones You ever held a PSBGO Yes I have You sure

It hurt me It hurt my soul You suck Yeah I'm really happy I get to be a part of this guys Thank you

Media Molecule's game is finally revealed. It will use PlayStation Move and Morpheus if you want to, but you can also play it with a Dual Shock 4 controller. It will be out in 2016. I like that one. That's a good one. Lots of variables, of course. So you get all your fucking tenth of a point.

Garbage shit here. It's not as bad as it usually is. My predictions. The host here has already declared it's one point. One point. You can only win or lose. We'll see. Can't get halves.

but we'll have whoever knew Mitchell Morgan is step up and break it out both ways I bet Mitchell Morgan to my will when he would do the scoring I made him do it again I remember you did I was like this is bullshit see

yeah it's a very interesting one you're bringing up because I'm trying to think of how you'd play dumb fucking dancing modeling clay game for medial molecule without the move you know what I mean when they were doing their whole thing let alone be able to use Morpheus

and not have to because those games are so fucking wrapped up in Morpheus it seems. Yeah. My biggest question would be, how would they announce that? It's like, here's this stuff.

But also, you get to really play it. Yeah. You know what I mean? But if you don't like our things we're trying to sell you. Yeah. No,

I think the reason Medium Molecule's game took so long and the reason that they poured a tear away to make money for that studio until they can get the game out is because all of this tech was happening.

Presumably, Morphios have shown to them first because it seems like that's the studio, them in London, that could do something ground breaking, something with it proper.

So I really do think that they know that they can't tether that game's success to move. They can't tether that game's success to Morpheus, but they can work Morpheus and move into it if you want to use it, but otherwise it's a game you can play without it using this dual shock four. I think that that is probably the reason why the game is taken solo. Because Media Malcon has been quiet for a very long time.

They haven't put out it out, understand their core team has not put out a game since 2011. So it's, you know, they've released hair away, but that team was about 12 to 15 people. Porting that game probably wasn't even done internally to PS4. So you have to assume that that one team. Keep in mind that this is where we always get into the gray area. We start getting yelled at. It's not a port.

It's a buildup from the ground of the original reimagining. It seems like a really huge waste of time for a first party studio to do that. Very true. Fuck, Tehraway and it's stupid ass. It's not that I have a problem. I think Tehraway is whatever it is, but it's not garbage,

but it's fucking waste of time. It's weird. It's a medium molecule game. Yeah, I know. And so, and they're weird. They're just weird. They're weird.

They're just a fucking, really weird studio. I don't like that game. Shabbat. Shabbat. I love Shababon. She's the head of the studio I went out to dinner with her once in Germany

Very interesting woman But did she make papercraft for you in front of you No but they gave me a bunch of papercraft stuff like tear away stuff But I think that this is Morpheus is the reason why this game is delayed Interesting And my hope is that But you think it's optional

I hope so Because that would be the enemy medium molecule If they put that thing only on Morpheus It's just going to limit it sales and no one game is going to make someone buy Morpheus. It's about making an ecosystem of options for people. So I do think that... But that's the whole thing of what I still just don't believe in Morpheus and don't trust

and they can't do that. They can't give you the out. Because if they give you the out, they don't buy the Morpheus. And then it's just over and over and over again. Not to mention it's going to be like, oh, resistance. It's the move game. It's like, no, it's not a move game. That's an option.

But they marketed it all wrong. We'll see. I wouldn't be surprised if everything you... Most of what you just said was true, except it's Morpheus blocked. you need Morpheus for it. Yeah, that would be such a waste. I mean, I understand what I'm saying. It's true.

I've been doing the same thing, though. Yeah, it's locked to the move, which is another dead technology. I'm just saying move because it seemed like they already had worked out that tech. Yeah. And I'm not sure if they still sell or even manufacture move anymore.

My assumption is that they probably do. In some capacity, sell it, at least. They probably have a fucking whole warehouse of that shit that no one wanted. But they seem to have worked something out in 2013 with Move. I mean, it was clear. And move clearly works with PlayStation 4.

So, yeah. based on that demo that they gave and based on the camera and all that kind of stuff. The Morpheus game and demos too, right? Yeah, exactly. Like, you need move with some of these Morpheus games, so presumably it's still being manufactured, presumably it's still being made. I just, I understand what you're saying, and what you're saying makes sense and is smart and is the likely choice. But I just feel like making a first-party studio that hasn't put out a game in four years, a real game. And I'm not saying Terway's not a real game.

I'm just saying the core of that suit didn't make it. So it's like you're going to strand that game on Morpheus? Yeah, yeah. What do you even have the studio for them? So I think it's got to be the best of both worlds. I know it's weird because I think Sony London is the studio that's making all of these other games. Plus they have their new studio that's making Morpheus games too. So they have at least two and a half studios working on Morpheus stuff, right?

Something will come out of Japan studio. Presumably, my assumption is that Polyphony is probably going to have significant Morpheus interaction with Grand Turismo. So it's not like there's like all sorts of shit that's not happening behind the scenes, presumably there is. Yeah. Sure. And studios like Noody Dog and Sucker Punch are not going to make Morpheus games. Sounds like they have more than 15 minutes of shit about more if you just talk about

Final prediction for Sony At the end of the uncharted demo We get a 2016 date Like the full date What that you know blank blank 2016 What is it? No balls You want me to give you like a date date?

Hold on You don't have to give me a date Now be good Be do follow your heart You're not ready You're not ready It's okay I'll give you

Are you giving a date date date I'm not giving a date on anything I was asking you to give a date I'll give a damn You fall for the trap since everything's one point Damn I'm looking through

What Tuesday looks good to me If you're picking a Tuesday You're already doing it wrong What Tuesday You think it's to be a Friday? Yeah I'm not gonna do it then Now you vangered me

Why do you think it's a Friday? Because when they release Worldwide Big first party games Sony does on Fridays The Uncharted collection Will be revealed It will include

All three Uncharted games And the Golden Abyss On PlayStation 4 it will come out in October I like that and it's being done by Blue Point if you want to get it out of it. I'm just going to throw that out there a little bit Blue Point games working on Uncharted

Collection which is four games You want to fight for fortune in there for fun? No, no I don't October 2015 PlayStation 4 exclusive That's my final prediction for PlayStation Okay That sounds like you guys know this PlayStation stuff pretty well What do you think, Tim?

Do you have any predictions? Well, it's not so much predictions, but just questions for you guys. Ratched and Clank. What will be shown? That's a good point, but it's already, I don't know, they'll probably show it, but there's nothing to really say about it because we already know it's delayed and Insomniax working on it. And when Drew Murray was on our GDC stream, he's like, it looks Pixar quality. I believe it. Insomnia is very talented.

Yeah, they'll show it for it. So I think they'll show it. Yeah. I don't know if they'll have a date or anything else to say about it. But, yeah. Persona 5. Will it be at Sony's conference? I think it will be. I think it will be.

It's possible. I don't know. I don't know that as popular as that game is, I'm not sure that even Sony realizes that that's something they should talk about here. I think they do. I think they've seen it with Persona 4.

I think they've seen it with the way everybody acts and talks about persona now. I think they will. I mean, that is a pure exclusive, so it's not going to be on Xbox or PC. So it's a PS3 and PS4 game. So it would make sense for them to play it up, but I don't know if you give stage time to it.

I think you've the hot trailer, the hot new trailer. We'll see. It seems, my assumption is that, A, that game's not coming out this year, and B, they're not going to even show anything until TGS. I mean, that's... Oh, interesting. That's another game.

It's not fallout, but it's a game where you don't really need to do anything. Yeah, true. You know, people are engaged. So speaking of exclusives, Street Fighter 5, do you think they'll have a new trailer or something? Sadly, yeah. Maybe, that's a good point. Maybe. I don't know, though.

You get the Evo crowd involved. Evo is very mad. The evil crowd, the fighting community is very mad right now, but Ultra Street Fighter 4 on PS which is not very good apparently. Even though we played it, I didn't notice anything wrong with it. We're not experts online. They certainly noticed it. So maybe you throw them a bone.

Sony is funding that game, helping to fund that game. So, yeah, possible. Now, God of War. Do we see anything? I think you'll see God of War III, the HD re-release. I don't think they're ready to show the new game that they're working on yet. Not even a teaser? No, because remember that they were going to pursue, like, according to many rumors and whatever,

that they were ready to show the game that they canceled last year. So, you know, the space game, presumably by the guy that wrote Battlestar Galactica. So I don't know that they're geared up and ready to show anything yet. You have to assume that whatever the new God of War game is is probably not anywhere near being ready. So maybe 2017. So that's a game you'd show. Next thing. Yeah.

And the reason Santa Monica can get away with that is because they're such an internal incubator of games. So that studio exists as an X-Dev studio, not quite as strong as what they do in Europe. sound shapes came out of there and everybody who's gone to the rapture is being co-produced by people like you know, Deb Mars and stuff like that so, you know, Zach Wood is there and all these guys that work on a lot of these games

Hocum and all that stuff so they, and obviously they're also internally incubating Edith Finch, which I think we will see. I was going to say, how much do we get to that? Do we get one of those hot indie teaser trailer things? Do you think it's Adam Boy's out there with like four or five things behind him? Yeah, I think they're funding that game, so I think that and that's

that's one of their teams. So I think that they give more than just a past story because remember they did they did a similar thing last year for that game entwined. Yeah, I don't remember that? And that game was really quite disappointing. That's something I didn't reflect. I did actually forget it.

It was an interesting game. It was a fun game. It just controlled pretty poorly at some point. Like there was, I remember having a very specific issue with that game. But, which you can read about my review on IGM probably, but they'll, I think they'll, if they gave entwine that kind of time, then certainly they're going to give you to Finch that kind of time. So I think that you'll see it there, but I don't think it's a big surprise.

And I wonder if that game's ready this year. You know, Edith Finch came out, or Swan came out 2012. So it took them a long time to make that game, though. That game was delayed for a long time. Yeah. It was like over a year late. So who knows? They're artists.

So, you know, those guys are. Don't rush it. Yeah. But Giant Sparrow specifically is, seems like a group of like just, it's ready when it's ready. Yeah. Kind of guys, and they seem to get away with them. All right, guys. Moving on to Microsoft.

Hit me off with some of the nasty predictions. You can lead. You want me to go first? Let's get some call on. Let's see what wrong-ass bullshit you got this time. Microsoft has spent a significant time talking about Minecraft. I think that there's going to be some sort of big, meaty announcement for it, whether it's an update of some sort that is Xbox 1 and PC exclusive.

Something to justify the purchase of Mojang and the $2.5 or $3 billion they spent on the company. Obviously, Minecraft, too, is the big thing that they're certainly investing in. I don't think it's time or it's not the place or time to announce that yet. There's no reason to rush that game out. But I think there's something to be said about Minecraft, and that's a powerful game to talk about at your conference to get eyes on your conference. And I wouldn't even be surprised if that was teased before the conference to get people that are just Minecraft fans engaged in the Xbox community since they're now all one,

since we're not going to obviously see Minecraft too probably on PlayStation, for instance. So I would expect them to talk about Minecraft, talk about Mojang, and either talk about maybe future project, but more likely talk about how they're going to support Minecraft going forward. forward on Xbox and on PC. Interesting. That's a good one. That's a good one.

Do you think that Minecraft, the story mode, is going to be a big part of that? No. The telltale game? Yep. No. Do you think they'll show it?

At Microsoft's Conference? No. I don't think that game's ready for primetime just yet. That's a telltale thing. They got a lot of other stuff to get through. Other games. You'll hear about it a week before it comes out.

Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. All right. There'll be some reveal and then it'll pop up. Yeah. All right. Hey, guys.

You know that Halo 5? We're going to do another beta. and it starts right now. That's what they'll do. That's a Tala 5 beta starting right there. Write that day. That's them turning on the servers and the information flooding out to everybody.

And everybody goes on. Fredo goes, why am I here? I'm so beautiful. I'm Alfredo, dear. With the announcement of Windows 10's release day in July, they'll go into Windows 10's functionality with Xbox 1,

which I assume is going to be somewhat imminent because Windows 10's entire thing is that it runs on everything, all your devices. And it's supposed to be seamless. So I think that Windows 10 will somehow function with Xbox 1 in some way, and they will show you how that's going to happen at the conference

with the release date in July, obviously. Going back to the Halo, because I thought you were jumping off of that. Do you think we'll get the release date? For Halo? It's already out, isn't it? Do you say for Halo? October 27th? Yeah, I think I thought Halo. October 27th.

I've been out of it. Yeah, October 27th. Damn. All right. Oh, shit. Don't worry about it. Frato's on it. Yeah.

He's sitting in line right now. Okay. Okay. Next up. They end with a one more thing trailer. It's Battle Toads. Okay. It's a teaser.

Maybe not a full-blown trailer. But you're getting some battle toads up there. Quantum Break was delayed Remedies game, as we know. Correct. It gets a release state of very early 2016. probably February 2016 Xbox 1 exclusive and they'll probably talk about the TV show too

Well that's on the disc or whatever That's part of the game Yeah but like how it Oh how they're actually gonna detail how it goes into Yeah that's nice Cliff Plosinski comes out Announces that Blue Streak is a console exclusive to Xbox 1 I like that I like that one

It's a gutsy one Yeah I know Got swing for the fences sometimes My other ones are boring Lionhead's been quiet for a while So their new game will be revealed and as they've talked about, I think they talked about last December, it is not Fable related at all. Obviously, Fable Legends is being made by another studio, so...

Yeah, that game ever come out? I don't know. Jesus Christ. I don't think so. Or maybe it has that. I don't mean... I'm checking. I'm on it.

So Lionhead will announce their new game. There's not going to be scant details about it. They'll have a logo and maybe a little bit of a CG trailer. The game is nowhere near being completed yet. Fable Legends hasn't come out. No. But, yeah, so Lionhead will. be there. It's time to roll out some of these first parties.

Okay. Okay. How do you feel about the Battle Todes? It seems like a faint to me. Phil Spencer was wearing a Battletoad shirt some months ago at a conference, but I think that was more in reference to

Battle Todes inclusion in Shovel Night than it was about Battletoads game being made again. Because as much as I think that would be interesting, nothing is more irrelevant to a 16 year old or a 20 year old today than battle toads there's literally nothing more irrelevant so like as much as I'd like to see

that it's just like it doesn't seem like a we have to look at things through the lens of how Microsoft's conducting its business right now this is the same thing we're talking about with Silent Hills the Silent Hill, this totally ridiculous Silent Hills rumor on Colony Gregg where I was like my problem with that rumor isn't that they're talking

economic because maybe they are and it's not it's possible that they took PT off the PlayStation Network as a sign of good faith it's that they're spending billions of dollars on a series where they spent $2.5 billion on Minecraft. I mean, there's not going to spend billions of dollars on Silent Hills. You have to look at it through the lens of the fact that Phantom Dust was rebooted and then canceled and that studio shut down because they wanted $5 million to finish the game.

They needed $5 million. So risking money on something like Battletoads, especially if Rare is going to make it, which is one of their internal studios, is a huge mistake in my opinion because it's like it seems like they want to maximize their dollars and you maximize your dollars by making something more relevant. I would be shocked if they made Battletoes. But they did Killer Instinct. They did do Killer Instinct, but Killer Instinct to me makes way more sense, and it wasn't done internally.

So it's like, to me, you have to use your resources to do things that make sense. Because Killer Instinct, wasn't that made by the guys that... Iron Galaxy. So it's like, if you want to find a studio outside to do it, maybe that makes more sense. Maybe it's just a traditional side-scrolling kind of Struggle Night-like game that's going to cost a few million dollars to make, but if it's rare doing a game and reviving something, it's got to be something like Banjo Cazooey,

you know, or Jet Force Gemini or something like that. It's got to be something. Jet Force is more relevant than Battletoads. Something that is, that has substance that is more recent. Remember, the last Battletoads game is way older than Jet Force Gemini. So you have to have some touchstone that, you know,

that makes a little more sense to someone. And something, like Battletoads transcended away from NES and S&S, but at the end the day, that's kind of where it's stopped. Yeah, but I feel like Battle Toads has something about it that's special just based on what it's called, because people are always going to kind of compare it to the Ninja Turtle. So it's like, even if it's not relevant, you know what Battletoads is just by hearing it, and then you see it, and you're like, oh, okay, you know what I mean?

I feel like even kids these days, even if they don't know what Battletoads is, they'll think of it, and it's like, oh, it's cool and retro. Even if they never grew up with it, like, there's a special place in their heart for it just by default. Maybe. I think it's way more likely you see Perfect Arc or Baner Guzuiuiazio out of that studio, but maybe they, it's not contingent. on that studio making it.

I mean, they can do whatever they want with that IP. I'd be excited for any of those three. I'd just love to see it come back. Yeah, Battle Toe. I mean, it would be nice. I just feel like that's so obvious that shirt. It seemed deeper to me until Shovel Night came out. And then I was like, well, they're in Shovel Night.

That's got to be the relation to that shirt. Phil Spencer's a shrewd kind of guy. You know what I mean? Sure. I mean, that's interesting, though, that they're in Shovel Night. Why are they in Shovel Night? Because I think that they, like, as far as I understand, I knew that Shovel Night was coming to PlayStation for a long time.

And I talked to the Yacht Club several times about the fact that they were including a special character and they were trying to figure it out. It seems like it was up to them. So I think that like they just chose Cratos because that made sense them and they chose Battletoes because that's what they wanted to do. And the Battle Todes functionality in Shubble Night is fucking awesome. I don't know if you saw the stage. I saw the video. I didn't play it.

Way cooler. And Crettoes was pretty cool though. It was cool, but Battle Todes was way cooler. You know, both of them were good, but I was really impressed with the battle, like watching that video for Battletes. It's a throwback to that fucking that NES game. Oh, that NES game.

that's a son of a bitchy-ass game Dark Souls 3 is shown exclusive content for Xbox exclusive content okay you ever heard of it? Oh I've heard of it yeah I heard of it Microsoft likes to do that sometimes was that your fifth guess

or your fourth? That was my fourth so this will be my fifth yes twisted pixels been quiet for a long time oh they haven't Twisted pixels owned by Microsoft they made Locosicle that was our last game and they have a tendency to not do the same thing twice with the exception

of Splosion Man and Miss Splosion they typically make a new kind of a game. So my assumption is that, like, I think they did Gunslinger, right? Which was that Connect game? Yeah, yeah, the Spaghetti Western Connect game. So they'll come out on stage and reveal their new Xbox One game, and they've been quiet for so long that I think that game will be ready this year. It'll be an Xbox one exclusive.

Have they been quiet that long, you think? 2013 was when a local cycle came out. That was, yeah, it was a launch game pretty for Xbox One. It was like it was the first game I played on Xbox One. It just doesn't feel like the Xbox One's been out long enough enough. Yeah, they've been quiet long enough for you. It'll be two years by the time the game comes out. You don't invest in a studio.

that's not making games. So I think that they'll come out on stage and have something to say about their new game, and I think it'll be ready by the end of the year. And much like maybe Ori or State of the K, it'll be on PC as well. Yeah. But they don't really talk about those kinds of things with these games. They kind of pretend that those things don't exist, which is the same thing Sony will probably do with Street Fighter. So yeah, I think, I think, you know, these aren't quite as sexy of predictions as they are at Sony.

But Microsoft, frankly, has less to choose from. In other words, their studios, families are much smaller and much less glamorous, I think, in terms of, like, name. Like, they don't have a naughty dog or a sucker buncher of Sony Santa Monica. They have 343 and Black Tusk,

and we know what they're doing already. So, 343 is a great studio. Black Tusk is a great studio, very talented too, but we know Black Tusk is working on Khears. We know 343 is busy with Halo. So there's, when I was looking, I was like, am I forgetting anything

I was looking before? And I'm like, no, I'm looking at their list of studios. And I'm like, we kind of know what most of these guys are doing with the exception of these few studios. So these are the guys that kind of, have to kind of identify.

That's what makes Microsoft's conference in a way more exciting because their surprises are really going to be left field surprises, I think, as opposed to Sony

where you're like, well, it's got to come from one of these guys. Sure, sure, sure, sure. Okay. My final prediction for Xbox is Undead Labs comes out,

reveals their teaser trailer, their first look at their new game, back to being more zombies because they have the Moonrise game too. zombies, but it's a multiplayer. State of decay multiplayer, pretty much, you'd think of it. Now, it's not what it's called, obviously. Different thing happening here.

Under Labs already, they just released a game. Yeah, but it's just, you know, that was the up-res, right, with all their HD content and stuff like that. And I don't think that they're ready, I don't think it's ready, like, we're shipping it tomorrow, but I think it's going to be like, hey, this is what we've been doing. Because it's such an easy lead-in, right? Of, like, Phil Spencer, a lot of you probably

played state of decay, one year later, survival edition, sold X amount so much, that brings life-to-date totals for the entire state of decay franchise to this let's see what they've been up to what their next thing is. Yeah. You're good at this. You've seen a couple of press conferences. Well, I'm good at just bullshit yeah. Yeah, definitely. They don't usually do what I say. So, where the fuck's pat upon?

Rise of the Tomb Raider. Yeah. What do we see? A demo? Oh yeah. Definitely. Definitely. Yes. Is there not a release date for that? That's this year. No, there's no release date. It's not good. But it is confirmed this year. So, yes, I think that'll be a prominent part of the conference.

I would imagine it opens it. It opens with that. No, I don't think so. They open with Call of Duty. Oh, but didn't they finally break away from that? I don't know. Okay. I don't think so.

But maybe I don't really remember. Google's saying December 2015, but that could easily be placedholder. There's no way that games come in December. It'll come out in like November or October. So is gears remastered. We'll see that. Yep. And that's what I'm saying.

We know what Black Tusk is doing, right? But Gears 4? Do we see some CG shit? Maybe it's time to talk about Gears 4. It's unclear. to me, it's unclear to me like where in, where in development they are with that game.

I don't, I don't quite understand, I'm not quite as tuned into gears, even though I like that series. It might be time, but you have to assume that there's a, there's a motive to release Gears HD, or Gears HDHD. And maybe that's it.

Maybe that's it. I'd be less surprised if they were like, we're doing the same thing, the two and three that we're doing the one, and we lied. Because they basically were like, we're not doing it. Gears trilogy, we're doing the first one.

And so there'll be Gears Talk, but I don't know if it's time for Gears for it. There's no reason for it because they have, remember, they have to have an appearance at Gamescom and they're going to have a lot of announcements there. Phil Spencer said that their announcements at Gamescom will be as many as an E3. They're going to have a pretty equivalent presence there. So you have to save something. And with Tomb Raider this fall and with Halo this fall, especially with Halo this fall, there's no reason to muddle the message, you know, and say, like, well, our second

biggest franchise is also, like, who cares? Like, let Halo come out and, and Burrower. breathe, and then you talk about gears. And then 3-4-3 goes back and makes Halo 6, while gears is ramping. Yep, yep, yep, yep. And then you're going to go back and forth between those two. Awesome.

So, moving on to my personal favorite, Nintendo. I think these are my best predictions. Greg, you can go first. Thank you very much. Tim, are you taking notes, by the way? Yes, I am. That's what I'm doing right now. Just making a show.

My Nintendo predictions. Begin with the announcements that... Nintendo has made up with Amazon.com and Nintendo products will be sold on Amazon.com normally and not all fucked up through third party sellers and everything's gonna be okay. You're dreaming, buddy. I don't really know anything about this. Can you explain this to me?

Sure, if you've never tried to order something Nintendo related off Amazon, you cannot. Why? Because they don't get along. Why? I don't know if there's ever been a historical reason. How long has this happened? It's been going on since probably the late we era.

I kind of vaguely remember this. I'm going to look it up for you. It's an issue. My first Nintendo prediction is that Star Fox opens the show is fully, well, they're going to do a Nintendo direct, but we're going to just refer to it as a conference. Star Fox is the first thing shown. They show it an intensive look at it,

and it's dated for this fall. I'm so excited. They have to get that game out. You know, like that game is basically the only thing between it and Zelda of any kind. And I don't mean that as a disrespectful thing because I'm most excited about Mario Maker, but the fact of the matter is unless they have a big meaty first party announcement, which they don't, because if they're smart, they're moving all their resources to their next console. Star Fox is too far along to move. And so I think that that is a safe assumption.

I'm so excited for that. That might be the thing that I'm looking forward to most is I just want to see it. And like, that's one of those games that I just, I want to see a gameplay trailer for it. And I'll instantly know whether it's what I want or if it's not. and I'm very worried. It's not going to be what I want. We'll see. I don't want to see no on foot bullshit.

No on foot bullshit. I like the on foot stuff in Star Fox Adventure, personally, on GameCube. Okay. But assault? Was that the second one? The one where there was, it was like not majority.

It was about a third flying. Oh, so you're saying, I see what you're saying. So a mixture kind of like, like the Star Wars game on N64 where you were going to ship and then you rush. Rogue guy. God, it was a disaster.

Roguel. We're getting muddled now. I'm talking about the shadows of the Empire game. Oh, okay. My apologies. First reference to Nintendo and Amazon's rift comes from our good friend, Jason Schreier, over at Katakku, on September 19th, 2012. But, yeah, they stopped selling the 3DS new and all this stuff and all these weird emails. He's got no straight answer as to what happened.

Okay. Interesting. Amazon is going to fuck clear, so. Yeah. But they will. And they're all going to be happy, and it's going to be good again, because then you can order what you want. my next prediction for Nintendo Nintendo's Returns

Okay thank you That's interesting I mean They would They would And they will My second prediction is that Wii you gets a significant price drop To the tune of maybe 40%

Damn My God Wii is dying Yeah And there's no reason for them To not drop the price significantly So this isn't going to be a token like, oh, well, you know, $50 off.

Like, no, like maybe $100 plus, you know, more, off of the price of Wii. My lord. Wii is not even a 10 million units sold after, what, two and a half years, so it's over. And so it's time to, it's like we were talking about the Vita. It might be time to just bite the bullet and get these things out and just get emptier warehouses

in anticipation of Star Fox and Zelda and all these Amory Maker and all these other games that people are interested. And so I think that Wii gets a significant price drop. Zelda Wii U. gets a release date of summer 2016. On Wii U. Yep.

Fair enough. I can see that happening. They spend a significant amount of time showing multiple Smash Bros. DLC characters. Amongst them will be the ice climbers. Yeah. Con's heavy.

See, I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do with Smash because I'm assuming we'll see Lucas a little bit and I actually see him like gameplay and stuff and then more than we saw in the last direct. What new characters they'll announce? That's what I'm most interested. in ice climbers i think that's a safe assumption that like there's a good chance it'll be there

i'm really more interested in seeing something like uh well either a new character like a fully new character that hasn't been in smash because i don't want to see them just continuously go down this path of yeah something like that would be awesome but i can see them just kind of like putting out the the remaining characters that haven't been brought back which is fine i want that to happen too but i don't like that lucas is then and like it was muteu and then luke and then Lucas, it's like, I want those to be like alongside something new. Dry bones.

And I feel like they're, I don't know about drive bones, but, you know, somebody. Chain shot. Give me someone new. Like, I don't know, like a firearm character,

you know? Like a new firearm character would be great. That's what we really allow. That's what we definitely need. Now, there's an issue, of course, a technical issue with ice climbers was that the rumor was, I don't think it was a rumor, I think they confirmed it is that the reason the ice climbers

weren't in the game to begin with was because they couldn't make it run on 3DS specifically. Yeah. So there must be, for this to be true, there must be some sort of technical hurdle will overcome, or you start segmenting the games. And I don't know if that's something

they're not going to do that. So there must be some sort of technical hurdle overcome to include the ice climbers. And it might be something like you're not, you never had full control over both of them at the same time. Like they were kind of just compliment to characters.

You could knock one out and the other stays. But maybe it's a way of like really dumbing one of the characters and they're just there. And that's kind of the way. No, no. Because otherwise I don't necessarily know that Nintendo and NAMCO can do that

you know but I want them to because those are my characters but I become so I become so accustomed to playing as day to day to that I don't know really even that anymore yeah you know what I really want to happen I don't think this will happen but it's a prediction that I'm just going to make is I want a really nice robust smash Bros.

DLC thing like kind of like new stages new characters but yeah like I want a big step forward because with I like what they did with Muteu when they first announced him like before the game even came out and like there was that one meverse stage or whatever. Like I liked that that was at least the hope that there will be DLC.

And the fact that at the last direct, they showed Lucas, it's like, okay, there's going to be more DLC. And when Mario Kart, they announced pack one, pack two. You know, so we knew that there was going to be an end to it and that was going to be in. There's going to be these two packages. With this, we don't know where the end is. And it's a little bit, like,

they're just given us crumbs, which I'm hoping leads us to a nice, bigger, like plate of something good, like a real nice, you're going to get three new characters, a bunch of new stages, I don't know, something. You know, and that'd be... You like that?

It's your turn, isn't it? I believe so. No mention of NX. I stole mine, that was gonna be mine, too. I'll come up with a different one. No, count them together. No, that's fine. In the meantime, well, that was gonna be my fifth guess.

Okay. My fourth one is that we will see DNA's games for the first time. Ooh. I think that they're not gonna be ready yet. they'll probably start releasing them obviously this fall, I think, is what they said, but I think that you're going to see some of the games and identify maybe three to five of them. Obviously, Mario is going to be involved all these kinds of other, all these kinds of other core IP.

And you're going to kind of see the nature of the game and kind of trying to downplay some of the more casual fears that are surrounding DNAs. That's exciting, man. So I think that now is the time because this is a Japanese-centric move, but ultimately for growth, they need to show these games to the West and start acclimating them. earlier because the Japanese market is already acclimated of these games, or these style games, and certainly DNA style games, since they're such a big Japanese developer. So,

I think we'll see DNA's games, and I think that it's going to be somewhat prominent. I don't think it's going to be like a passing thing. DNA, remember, owns one-tenth of Nintendo now, so they have a little bit of a poll and what is going to be shown, what's not going to be shown in these Nintendo Direcks, and it wouldn't be surprising

to me to see that. We close out on your next main Mario game. a tease for it, spiritual success or whatever you want. I'm saying like the evolution of galaxy or whatever. It's coming to the Wii U is what they'll say. It will eventually come to the NX as well. Not because they won't say that.

I'm just saying it's going to be announced for Wii U. They're going to make it a Wii U game. This is a Wii thing. But it's going to be in your Twilight Princess. I love this. What excites me as a Nintendo fan is you guys making these predictions and hearing it, I got excited multiple times,

and I like that. If I get even half of those moments actually during the direct, I can think it's a successful E3 for Nintendo. I think they're in a really good position right now to make the people that like them happy. And I think that's all that really matters

at the end of the day. Because the people that don't like them, they're not going to like them over again. And it's just like a, it's a dead thing. But like, I like the fact that you guys just mentioned a bunch of stuff that got me excited. And I have a whole bunch of lists of other things that I think they're going to do

that are at this point a little obvious. We music too. No, no, no, no. But do I have one more, right? Yeah. Go for it. Go for it. You were how to make it up,

though, on the spot. I am going to make it up. They tease, and they do it in an ambiguous sort of way, because it's not going to be a Wii U game.

But what you're going to see is the first tease of an NX game without saying it. So it's like to be a watchdog situation, and it's going to be retro and Metroid. Good Lord.

This sounds like an awesome B-3. Yeah, so I think that it's time they move retro away from Donkey Kong. Everyone's fucking tired of seeing them waste their time on this shit, and they want a real Metroid game. They do. And Team Ninja is not the one

is able to deliver it, right? They didn't deliver the goods. Retro delivers the goods. And so I think that it's going to be Metroid Prime and it's just going to have a Metroid Prime logo, no name, nothing like that, no indication. That's the fourth one. It might be a reboot. But you'll see Retro's logo. You'll see Metroid Prime and there will just be an ambiguous mention of that. And because

it's a Nintendo direct and they're not necessarily exposing themselves to journalists, and Nintendo obviously will have a presence at E3, a strong presence, but you assume that interview opportunities are going to be somewhat scarce. With big outlets, you're not exposing yourself to a barrage of questions. they can then retreat back to their offices in Kyoto and go about their business without really being exposed as, say, Sony or Microsoft would be, by revealing a game with an ambiguous kind of nature. So I think that that would be my fifth guess.

Excellent, excellent. Love it. Love that so much. I'm going to assume we're getting a lot of release dates. The last couple of years, it's been a lot of putting games out there and seeing them freaking over and over and over and over. We're going to get X release state. We're going to get the U.S. release states is what I'm Tom on. Yoshi's Woolly World.

finally we'll get it. It's coming out very soon, the Yosh. We're getting it very soon in Japan, but I want it now. When's that Amoeba coming out? Whenever this game comes out. Okay, thank you. Yeah, I mean, that's what we're waiting for. It's like, it's coming out in Europe, too, before here, and it's like, man. We speak English.

We get imported. I might need to do that. This is definitely like an English, like, I don't think I could get through this game in Japanese. Sure. Yeah, I'd be a little too hard. Konichua. Mario Maker, really state. Yeah, finally.

I'm excited. I'm authentically excited about Mario Maker. I'm excited about Mario Maker, and I'm really excited about Woolly World. Like this, I think, might be the first good Yoshi game in a long goddamn time. Fire Emblem, if, probably getting a release date. I'm excited about that. I think it's going to be later than I want it to be, though. Fire Enblem, Karashema, Mugami Tensei.

I'll be interested if we see it. We might see a little bit more. I was shocked that that game was still in development when they basically showed a few months ago. I thought for sure, like on my list in my mind, I'm like, that game's been canceled. Yeah, definitely felt that way. And seeing it was weird, too, and it sucks because it wasn't, it was. the wrong half for me. Like I wanted more Fire Emblem and they gave me more frigging Shumagami, but whatever, I definitely am interested in seeing more of that because

there obviously has to be some Fire Emblem in it for them to put that, especially first in the name. Right. Like, watching that trailer, I'm a pretty big Fire Enblem guy and I was like, I can't find the Fire Emble, not only gameplay, but also like these characters I don't even know what's happening. Sure. They have blue hair, so that's good. There's just a lot of like other questions of like, you know, you brought up Metroid, the 3D Mario. It's like, will we get those? I feel like Nintendo's always easy to kind of make predictions of surprises because

it's like you can always just throw shit out there. F0, will we see one? No, probably not. But people are going to bring it up. People are going to bring up, like Animal Crossing. There's rumors of where you won. I think there's actually a chance at that. They'll just like bring it up and it'll be a smaller title, but like... Yeah, I think they should stop while they're

ahead. But they're not personally. You know what I mean? It's just, it's just the, you have to manage your resources at some point. And they're not stupid. You know, they have to be like, well, why are we even putting anything? Why are we even put anything on Wii? Oh, I see what you're saying.

Yeah, like, why are we putting anything on Wii? I do think Zelda will be a Wii game, but I think that, because I feel like they have to do that. But for the people. Yeah, and I don't think it's going to be a cross-platform thing either. I think that's going to be like it's, it's, that's it's, final thing.

Like, that's it. Yeah. Now, a big question for me is the 3DS, like what it gets, what's announced for it. And if it's just going to be a bunch of, like, we'll probably get, like, one trailer that just shows a bunch of, like, you know, third party games and stuff like that.

But I wonder if we're actually getting anything core. Pokemon Z, if it's actually going to happen. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if they announced that. But besides that, the question for me is remasters. Is there going to be more on Wii U? Winwaker was wildly successful. So they'd be smart to do it.

But again, it's a resource management thing. It's like, are people playing their Wii U's, are they engaged with their Wii now as they were? When Winwaker came out, I don't know. Like is it, does it make sense for having to eat it now so they have a robust library later on whatever their new console or their handle is going to be?

I think that you have to just start they know internally what they're going to do, so they have to just start veering away a little bit. Starbucks is too far along, Zelda's kind of been promised to that Wii you audience, but other than that, I don't think you're committed to anything. The way I see it, though, looking at this, man, there's like a nice trickle of games coming out, though.

Like, none of them are the huge, huge, huge Zelda. I mean, there is Zelda. Like, eventually Zelda will be there. But like, the Zeno Blades, Woolly World, Mario Maker, all that stuff, it's like, those are little chip damage things. Add Star Fox in there. Like, I don't know if it's that.

I mean, it's dead. I know it's dead, but, like, I don't think it's as, it's a good type of dead. Like, I think the people that people that like it are going to like it. Like, it's like Vita. You know, you guys love the Vita, but it's way more dead than the Wii is. But it's like, you know, there is games coming out for it. Like, to say it doesn't have games.

It's just not true. Sure. You know, especially good games. Like, these are all going to be good games. Maybe not amazing. Yeah. I don't think any of them are going to be perfect, but I think that they're going to be pretty good.

Zelda be perfect. We'll see. Well, we'll see. Twilight Prince's wasn't so perfect, was it? Yeah, that's why they learned. Yeah, they learned. All right, well, guys, this topic has been sponsored by LuteCrate. For less than $20 a month, you get $6.8 items of gamer and pop culture licensed gear,

All right. We're moving on to the final topic of the day. E3 predictions for third parties. All right. You go, call. at the Square Enix conference Dragon Quest 11 will be revealed

as a next-gen-only game and a proper role-playing game a proper JRPG as opposed to the MMO that Dragon Quest 10 was or the Mousseau Omega Force type game that Dragon Quest Heroes is. I think that's a... I don't think it's a safe bet, but that seems like it's not

that extraordinary considering that they haven't had much to say about core Dragon Quest in a long time. And Square Annex having their own conference indicates that they have something to say, and while I think they have something to say about Final Fantasy 15, I think they have something to say about, you know, Kingdom Hearts 3, not so sure that that's going to be enough to justify the conference. And so there has to be more.

And a Japanese-centric game like Dragon Quest might be unusual to announce the E3, but they want to globalize that franchise clearly. I mean, do you think they're going to talk about like the Just Cause 3 and Hitman and all that stuff? Like I think that kind of rats it all out though. Yeah, oh yeah. No, I don't disagree. but they have to have Square Inix is still a Japanese company

You know and they have to say Something about the games that are being made You know at home Other than what's been announced Cool That's the Square Inix conference They announced Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming in 2016 Oh wow it's bold

That's bold We're basing that on goofy Does Goofy come out and do it No goofy What is he usually you say What's your motherfucker? Yeah it was supposed to be Who ho ho ho guys

Fuck you I told us it was gonna be 2015 But he's wrong. 2016, this one's going. Okay. At the Bethesda conference, Dishonored 2 is real and it is revealed. Although they do not give a release date, they'll show a trailer and they'll show gameplay. Again, this is, Bethesda wouldn't have a conference without showing fallout, obviously,

and they're obviously going to show Doom, but there must be more, and that third pillar has to be dishonored. Or it's something we have no idea what it is. but I think that Desauner 2 is a safe bet. People like that game, people like that world. It's an interesting game, certainly, so it's time to reveal more. But I think that the order of operations in terms of release days will be fallout, doom,

and then dishonored. But I think Deshonored will be at the end of the show. At the EA conference, it's announced Mass Effect Four comes in 2016, the collection of the three previous games in the holiday. Are you writing these as you go? What are you doing? I'm deleting something.

Oh, okay. To make sure I have my notes correct. that's an interesting, so Mass Effect 4, 2016, Mass Effect Trilogy before it comes out. Yeah, you're getting, you're in the Mass Effect trilogy this year, this holiday, 2015 holiday. PS4 Xbox 1 PC. Exactly. Mass Effect 4 next year, 2016. Probably the same holiday time period.

Okay. I'm going to go back to Bethesda for one more, one more guess, and similar to one of the ones Greg made. Doom is shown for about 15 or 20 minutes. I'm very excited about Doom 4, and they announced that beta is live now for people that have that ball. That bought Wolfensine. Yeah. Okay. At the Ubisoft conference, the best trailer shown is a UB.R.

Engine game, similar to your Valiant Hearts when that got displayed. But what can qualify that is the best? I, Greg Miller, will say that is the best trailer. But that's... My prediction... I'm going to allow it, but that's a little much for me, Greg. Okay. That's a little much for me.

Have it your way. At UBISO conference, Watch Dogs 2 is revealed. They talk about it. They probably show a trailer. They speak about it. Maybe Yves Gilamon comes out himself and talks about it. No release state given. Target platforms, obviously, PS4, Xbox 1, and PC.

They're not going to do last-gen versions like they did with Watchdogs. And they're just going to show it to show that they're trying to annualize it. Presumably this will be out by fall 2016. But I don't know that they will go that deep into it. But Watchdogs, too, will have a presence at this show. That was one of mine. It's a good one. It is.

Well, I think it's a safe bet. I think this third-party category is the one right now. That's going to win it for Colin because I think he's making a lot of really, really strong calls. The fifth one I had, I'll try to think I won on the fly, but I'm not good at it like you are. Was that Bethesda won't show the fallout collection like we were talking about? Okay. Might hint at a Skyrim collection. Hint, not show.

My final guess is that at the EA conference, there will be a second Star Wars game. It will be tied into the movie and it will come out this fall. So they will have two Star Wars games. This is not visceral? No. Vistral's game is probably something else. This will be more of like a kind of almost like a throwaway game. Like what an Activision Spider-Man game.

But it will be, they'll announce it and they'll say like we have a movie like an episode seven tie-in game and then we have Battlefront and they're two separate games. And they both come out this fall. And the reason that they're going to talk about this late and that they're going to do it as after-dose, it's probably not going to be very good. Yeah. But it seems like a wasted opportunity and almost impossible to fathom that they are not going to have an episode seven game.

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. And so you kind of have to announce it. soon. I hope it's at least as good as the episode one game on PS1. I never played that and I'm sure it was. It was not good, but I played the shit out of it.

So I think that that's, that's my bet for the EA conferences. Yeah, they'll show Battlefront. They'll talk about it a great deal with it. We also have an episode seven thing from this studio. Here is a look at it. Comes out later, like maybe early, you know, maybe they don't even put a date on it, but maybe it's like a December or a November game.

Like, you know, just you have to get something out for the kids. Yeah. Battlefront's not a game. Look at it this way. Battlefront's a very online-centric game. This is not a game for kids, right? Kids are going to play it, teens are going to play it, but what is mom and dad going to go into the storm by?

If they look in the back of the box and it's an online-only game, you have a functionality. I don't even fucking have the internet. This is something where I think it'll be a PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox 1 game, and just put it everywhere. We're you. Yeah, we, maybe even we. Yeah, my God.

So it's like, I think that that game exists. I've been saying that for a while. Sure. And I think that that game exists, but it is not this role's game. I'm trying to come up with one that isn't. totally stupid because I want to say there'll be another

luminous game but I don't want to predict that I don't put that on the record Give us a little Capcom prediction They do a bunch of shit Nobody gives care about

Okay No We're talking about the studios We're talking about publishers With conferences specifically though Right Oh okay Yeah

I don't know I just That's what I'm too Yeah Okay We can talk about I mean talk about Whatever you want

I don't really have Any Capcom guesses I'll throw it out there I don't think it's true But I'm throwing it out there To rainbow 6 It gets delayed Maybe not super far

But out of that October 13th. It does seem weird that that game's coming out so soon. And I haven't, I mean, there's been beta, sure, but like public giant things, I haven't seen much with it. For something that they threw out only last year, a year ago, it seems, for Ubisoft's cycle specifically, it seems very sudden that you'd show a game like the division over and over again, and then you'd show Rainbow Six out of nowhere, say it's like very, like, they didn't

say it's early, but the assumption was that it was early and then it's coming out before the division. Yeah. I don't, I don't get it. I don't understand. I would imagine if anything, it's just, it has a hard date. And did the division ever have a hard date? No.

So I think it's going to slide like a month. You know what I mean? Still this year. Yeah, but I think, I mean, don't be wrong, I think they need more time than that. I think the developers would like more time than that in this prediction world I'm living in. Well, I don't think it's going to go that far back. I think that... But my prediction is that it's delayed.

So if it's delayed a year and a half, I still win. Unrelated prediction because I've been saying for a long time that fallout four will come out this year. And we didn't talk about fallout four at all because it's so obvious now that it's going to be, you know, I still think it's coming out this year. When that's fully revealed, everyone's going to be running away, screaming from that period. So whether or not the game is ready or not, I think you're going to see that this will be the summer of delay announcements like you've probably never seen in your life. If fallout four is really coming out in November. The only people that are ever going to want to go ahead to head with it is call of duty. Right.

So and Halo. Other than that, like if your games coming out October, November, you better get the fuck out of there. You know, like go go be in January or February and you're much better off or even later than that. Conichu. So I think you're right, but I don't know if it's going to have anything to do with... I think you're going to see a lot of delays that have nothing to do with the status of the game. And you're going to see some delays that have to do with, like, getting the fuck out of Fall Out 4's way. Sure.

Because Fallout 4 is not only a game that's going to sell millions and millions of copies. It's a game that's going to take people out of the game. For hours and hours and hours. For months. Like normal people. Like just for months. They're not going to buy a fucking goddamn thing. So that's a kill...

That game's going to be a backbreaker for others. And anyone that tries to go against Fallout 4 is going to lose. With the exception. of like the big, big guys. In luminous. And luminous. Yeah, we can only hope for luminous. All right, guys, I'm going to ask you a couple questions.

Now, these are third parties, not just the conference ones, just third parties in general. Some of them are conference ones. Ubisoft. They're going to talk about Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Rainbow Sixth and the division. Is there a surprise? And of the surprises, do you think Beyond Good and Evil, too? Maybe. They did say that they were...

Eves Gilmont did say that they're going to announce a few games. So whether or not you're surprised by them, I guess, is up to the B. The Beholder. Beyond Good and Evil too seems like a safe bet because that has been rumored for so long. But I don't, I just don't think that anyone, like, I don't want to say anyone. I just, that seems like a weird game to make. You'll Beeself's weird. They are, but Beyond Good Neal came out like 11 or 12 years ago now.

So I had it, I liked it. I had on Xbox, actually. But is now really the time to go back to that? They seem a little more shrewd than that. You know, they have their art house, like their games that don't seem to cost much money that are great, like Child of Light and Valiant Hearts, and I think we'll see a game like that. But Beyond Good and Evil seems to me,

Beyond Good and Evil seems an A-style game, not a AAA game, but an A-style game, and that's going to cost money, and I don't know that they're necessarily going to get their return on it. As much as people talk, we're in an echo chamber. Like, Beyond Good Neville has zero residence with the normal gaming audience. And if you're going to spend more than a few million dollars on that game,

you better be ready to lose money on it. So I don't know that that is a smart move for Ubisoft. As much as I enjoyed that game, you know, I just don't see that being, smart move. You know what I think I could see happening? I wish I'd put it in as prediction. South Park. Something South Park related. Either the re-release, you know, here it is on NextGen or a from the franchise that sold, blah, blah, blah, a million copies on PlayStation 3 and Xbox.

And then it's just a fart noise and Kenny and blah, just yelling over a black screen soft park, something PS4. Oh my God, I would, a new one. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But that is super hard. Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen. Because it seemed like, like we've talked about before. It was like a soul breaking. Yeah, it didn't seem like they wanted to really do it after a while. It's hard. Yeah. You think we'll see new Raymond? Probably. Just stop making them. Maybe. I think

they're an annual... Ubisoft's all about annualizing. They're actually the only suit that's actually very open about it. Oh shit. Activision's super open about it. No, and them saying like, them saying like their... Activision does it. Ubisoft says like we don't, aren't interested in pursuing anything that doesn't

allow us to do this. Activision was the first people say that. That's why they didn't take Ghostbusters because it wasn't an annualizable franchise. Yeah, that's fair, but I'm saying I don't really see Bobby Cody giving a lot of speeches to be frank, Greg, like saying, like, you know, being a little more, like, Eves Gilmont's like kind of a dude that just says things. Sure, we'll stop making Assassin's Creed when you stop buying them. Yeah, that's kind of more what I mean. So I don't, I would be curious about how Rayman sold from origins to legends, and I think that's going to be contingent on the decisions they make. Yeah.

The decisions they make. My opinion is no. I don't think that Rayman's, you know, big. I think you take that engine, you take those artists, that those talented people and make one-offs that give you credibility. Yeah. I think that Ubisoft has a lot of credibility because Child of Light, because of Valiant Hearts, these are games that publishers

wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole and like, even if they broke even, and I don't think they broke even, I think they actually probably made money on those games. That sets the Ubisoft's apart from the EAs and the Activisions, frankly. Activision would never fucking publish a game like Chill Out of the Flight ever. And they would never let one of their studios make a game like Child of Light. So those are things to keep in mind.

So I think it's smarter to take those assets and use them in more unique ways than making another Raymond game. That will be there when they're ready. man is the OG Ubisoft IP and they're not going to walk away from that. Real question, are we getting some more rabbits this year? Oh yeah, let's get them back in it. They've taken over. It's done.

When we get some new bullshit devices, like, I don't know, Morpheus, you'll get a Rabbits game. Okay. Ubisoft will have some goddamn Rabbits game. Do you think we'll get a tease at a Splinter Cell reboot? No, I don't feel like... Last one made no waves, right? Yeah, I just don't feel like Splinter Cell. I mean, just

anecdotally, I don't feel like Splinters, the last Splinter's always the thing that anyone... Which one was the last one? Really cared about. Hardware? There was, wasn't there one that, wasn't it the first one that wasn't an Xbox exclusive? I'm not mistaken. They released the collection on all them.

There was one not too long ago. Yeah. Like they were all Xbox exclusives. Then they re-released all the HD ones. Blacklist. And then yeah, they released, I think maybe Blacklist or, I don't know, one of these games. I don't, I don't follow the franchise. I haven't in a long time, but it seems like something that's kind of,

you have your Tom Clancy games. You have two of them. you know coming out so like why like have yeah why you know fuck around with something that's just gonna you know again muddle the message I'm hoping for Prince Persia reboot that I'll never get a sequel to the Nolan North game

the 2000 oh 2008 one yeah yeah I'd be okay with that that was good game gets a bad rap except for his bullshit ending yeah exactly but let's see what else we got here um mirrors edge two we're gonna see it yes 100% um

Activision let's talk about destiny Black Ops 3, obviously. Tony Hawk, I'm excited for this. Sure. Not much to say there. Capcom. So, Street Fighter 5, they'll show off in some form. Will there be a Mega Man?

I'm starting to think that yes. And where will it be shown? I don't know that they're going to show it in any of the conferences. I think that that announcement of that cartoon today is... So random. It doesn't make any sense. Like, when I saw that this morning, I was like, oh, whatever. And then I, like, it came to me.

like 10 seconds. I'm like, wait a minute. Like, why are they doing this? It's not like they're doing like a miniseries. There's 26 episodes on TV. It's not something they're doing like on the internet. Yeah, they're committed to it. So I'm like, no, they're making a game. And I really do think they're rebooting Mega Man.

I don't think that it's going to be a Mega Man 11. I don't think it's going to be a Mega Man. I think it's going to be a mega man. And I think it's going to be a whole new thing. And like I said, I'm Colin and Greg Live today. I know I'm a mega man nerd. And I know I'm more excited about this than most people. But there is a story there, you know, that has never been told before.

There's two outstanding stories that have never been told in Mega Man lore before. The first is the origins of Light and Wiley and How Wiley Reprogrammed those robots. And that's Mega Man 1. And I hope that that's the story. But there's also the connectivity between the classic series and the X series and how Light dies. Before he dies, he sets all of these beacons out there. As you see an X where you find them and he, you know, and Mega Man, you know, it's

a hundred years separated. Dr. Kane is the archaeologist that finds all of Light's kind of capsules and builds Mega Man X as like a protection against the future. that story can be told too because for Mega Man fans there's no there's a missing link like an evolution there's a missing link between the classic series and the X series and that is a game that has to take place somewhere in there

and so that could be that too but I think that that's too meta to be a game that will encourage a cartoon to be made Capcom I feel is making a Mega Man game and it is making a Triple A Mega Man game and that is the only thing that can explain that fucking cartoon it doesn't make sense you know Mega Man's dead.

I mean, that's the thing. The only reason that the cartoon makes any sense without a video game is the fact that recently, the only place Mega Man spent alive has been the comics. And it's been that comic crossover series with Sonic. The Sonic comics do very well. Sonic has this stupid TV show that I take that back. I've never seen it, so I can't really like criticize it. Sonic Boom.

From when I hear, the TV show is actually a lot better than the game. I really hope so because that game is bad and we have played it. We can say that. Oh, yeah, it's not very good. But, you know, so Mega Man getting a TV show is super random, but I don't think he necessarily needs a game in order for the TV show to happen. I would be shocked if there is no game to go along with it. Yeah, I think all signs point to it.

Remember, when Inifune left Capcom, they burned all of their bridges with him. They canceled all of the games he had his hands on. So this let, so they canceled Legends 3, which was egregious to a lot of people. I don't really go to fuck, but they canceled Legends 3. And then they canceled, the biggest thing to me was they canceled Mega Man Universe, which was done. you know like they just never even released it the game was basically an alpha at that point so and people like clements as we talked about many times i'm sure people are tired of hearing

he played it you know so that game was on its way and they pulled the plug and what i think that they were doing at that time was saying like listen like the visionary behind the series is gone and we we will not have his assistance anymore so we need to kind of just step back and figure out what we can do with megaman and and the most logical thing for capcom to do is to give a good studio lots of money to make megaman a thing again because Because for as much as I love Mega Man and for as much many Mega Man fans as are out there, there are over 100 Mega Man games, and yet Mega

has only sold 30 million copies. So it's not like it's this mega fucking 5, 10 million franchise where it's like out of control, but they can make it that. They can make, and the thing about Capcom and the brilliant shrewd move, and I've been using that word a lot, but the brilliant move here

is get the new generation attached to Mega Man with a new game that makes sense to them and watch the money pour in as they go and explore the fucking dozens of games that came before it. You know what I mean? This is a money-making move. This is a smart move to set a solid foundation. As much of it, like, and he creates to make Mega Man 11,

as much as I'd love to make Mega Man X-9, they're not going to do it. You know, that's done and over with. So when I saw that cartoon news today, and I was thinking about it, it's the 30th anniversary of Mega Man in 2017, too, which is when the cartoons ready, I'm like, yeah, it's time. Like, it's, there's a game. Here's my thing.

I don't believe it. that there'll be a new AAA Mega Man, like in Open World and stuff that you talked about on the show. If it is happening, the game you're describing is being made by Capcom Vancouver, the Dead Rising folks.

You know what I mean? Finally get them off Dead Rising. They've already shown a love and appreciation for all things, Mega Man, Capcom, everything else. They put it in there, the blaster, they have it. They know how to do cool weapons

and goofy ass shit like that in open worlds for sure, right? But it's just to me that, like, I think Mega Man's too hung up on history. For rebooting Mega Man at this point, I feel like it's rebooting when they rebooted bomber man. Remember when they did that and that game came out? I was just like, oh, what are you doing?

It's a terrible idea and it wasn't a good... I just don't think there's a way to reinvent Mega Man for 30 years of him being the one guy. I think that if they're doing a new Mega Man game, I think it's another 8-bit side-scroller. I think there is, though, because, you know, Mega Man's many different things to different people. Sure.

I feel like my generation, my age group at least, Mega Man to them is like the Battle Network games on the GBA, which is totally different than those games, you know, and then there's the people that love legends that I think those are a couple years older than me and then there's a guy's a couple years older than that like you, they're OG, you know? But everyone has their own generation of Mega Man.

I think Mega Man is one of the few franchises that has, it's kind of like Mario, where it's kind of unfair to hate on Mario games because there's so many different types of Mario games and just because Mario's in the title, it's not one thing. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I think you're right in this sense,

but what's frustrating to me, you have to find, like any other game, like any other product, You have to find the right people. Right. And in my head, I'm telling you I could write that game. You know what I mean?

Capcom, get him a fucking check. And I'm not, you know, I'm just like, I could produce, I could, like,

I could help produce a game like that. Yeah. I could like, I don't know how to produce a game literally, but like, like to be a, so let me step back by. I'm not a producer.

I know you mean. But I could be like, I could find, I could look at things to be like, this is what you need to do and it needs to look like this. And this is the story. And these are the characters.

Yeah. And this is the world that you have to... I know Mega Man so well that I am 100% confident I could deliver a game like that, like, with the right people around me, that Mega Man fans would like. You know what? Because it is a very dangerous thing to do, but you know what? So was Mega Man Legends, and people liked that game. So the difference between Battle Network and Star Force and Legends and X and Classic,

which are the five franchises, the Mega Man franchises, is that they're all separate with the exception of Classic and X, which have a missing link between them, but they are connected. you know so that is so like when you make a game like legends which is 3D it's like well it's not the same megaman it's megaman volnut and it's like a totally different story right but the all the dangerous thing for megaman fans is to say like no this is classic megaman this is megaman again and that's the dangerous thing and that's why you have to get it right if you're going to do something like that i don't want them to cop out and make another megaman

you know what i mean like a sixth mega man uh like franchiser thread sure and as much as i'd love 11 or X9 and I would love that any time, that's not the answer to make Mega Man relevant again. They have this thing they have this franchise that they just sit on that they shouldn't be sitting on anymore. It's interesting. Capcom Vancouver Connection is interesting because they do have open world experience. I'm not so sure that

I would want, no offense to those guys, no offense to Dead Rising, I want something way better than Dead Rising. I understand. You know, so it's not, it's not it needs to move differently, it needs to be fast, it needs to be quick, it needs to be stylish. But that game could be made. You know, and it would be such a smart move to get these young kids hooked on Mega Man

the way they're hooked on Mario or Sonic and they just have this fucking huge back catalog of shit to buy. Oh my God. And the 10 year old kid that plays the new Mega Man in 2017 and then he's like, where did this come from? And his dad's like, I used to play Mega Man when I was a kid and they sit down on virtual console and they buy the six Mega Man games and play them. There's money for days for Capcom if they do it right. But they could ruin, they could fuck everything up. If they fuck that game up, it's over. Yeah. Like Mega Man's basically done at that point. Mega Man basically becomes a legacy character,

which is as far as I feel, Sonic is a legacy character now. There's no making him relevant in the game space. They made him relevant in comics. They made him relevant in cartoons, but they fucked the games up so badly that I don't think anyone has any expectations anymore, and you don't want to get Mega Man to that point.

So do it right or don't do it at all. But I think it's happening. Last couple of games just got through here. Resident Evil 7. Anything. There will be no Resident Evil 7. There will be a Resident Evil reboot. You think?

Yep. I don't think it's happening here I don't think it's happening I don't think it's happening but I'm saying the next time you hear about the next big Resident Evil New Resident Evil it's Reson Evil from the ground up again

What I would love to see with that And this would be crazy Because of the way things I think ended with Miyazaki and My, no, McCami and Capcom It would be funny with the success of the evil within Which did way better than Bethes did

I'm sure Bethes is already probably working on the sequel with Tango Works or whatever the fuck made that game is that to get him back. And to not do a reboot, but to be like, Resident Evil 7 is going to be a Macaami game. And if you just said that,

like, five was so disappointing. I didn't even bother with six. I was like, what the fuck is this? Like I said before, I shot more people in five minutes in that game than I shot

in like all of Resident Evil four. Yeah. Because it's not a Resident Evil game. So they need to get back to their core and the evil within, I think if Capcom's smart, they paid attention. And they were like,

well, Vezza took the risk. and they actually put a lot of money in time in that game way more than they thought they were going to, and it paid off. So maybe that's what we need to do. And that's a totally new IP. It's dangerous. We have Resident Evil.

We have Biohazard. It's a no brainer to do that. I'm not so sure they remake it again because they just released the remake. You know what I mean? I mean, I'm talking about their blowing up the universe. It's a reboot.

Oh, so just starting to be out. I like that. I feel like that's the best choice for them to make. I like that, yeah, that would be nice. No man's guy. Oh, I'm sorry. What about I'm sorry

What's going on on E3 with NoMount Sky Oh they're going to show it Yeah And it's going to be on track And coming out That's it Yeah No release date

No release window There's a lot of murmuring That that game's coming out this year I don't I don't understand How that game can be ready But my assumption with that And I don't know if Greg agrees Is that

Sony is treating it And they've said it as much Andrew House gave a speech saying Like they're treating it They made it They're treating it like a first party game And my assumption is that Hello games is so small and so

mildly funded that they Sony might be just helping them with the game at this point. Doing them people to go make new planets together. They might just send people to go and be like we'll help, we're just going to help you finish the game now. But that kind of involvement with Sony would mean that that was a true exclusive and I don't think that it is. So I don't quite

understand because Sony wouldn't do that and then let Mike yourself have it in the year. That would be it for them. They would publish it. That game's interesting because it's so ambitious. I don't understand how that game can even be ready next year based on what it's supposed to which makes me kind of wonder with that game if that game is actually going to be disappointing. And I don't know the answer.

There's a lot of questions with the game like that because it's so ambitious, so different. But there's a lot of murmuring. They're saying like it's out this year, and I don't know how that's possible. A couple more. Guitar Hero and Rock Band are either at one of the conferences. No.

No, but they'll be on the floor. I don't think that, I don't think it makes sense to give them conference. The conference time is precious. I don't think you give it to the music. I mean, EA has their conference, right? So they would just do some of it. Yeah, yeah, that's true.

So rock band's taking care of. Don't worry about it. And then guitar here will be everywhere. Yeah. Then, the big question, silent hills. Anything. No. No.

I do believe that that game's dead. Again, the original rumor sounded plausible and could be plausible in the sense that Konami might be interested in talking to a first party to get the game out, like Microsoft. Microsoft might be interested tangentially in doing that. Maybe Konami pulls the PT demo down. from PlayStation Network is a sign of good faith as the rumor suggested, but everything else about that rumor made no sense, you know,

and we talked about this pretty extensively on Colin or Greg Live, but billions of billions of dollars. What if that part's not true, though? Take the billions out of it. But why, like, but you have to, when there's something so suspect in a rumor like that, everything becomes suspect. You know what I mean?

Because that is an incredibly ridiculous statement. You know, as an example, Star Wars was purchased by Marvel or by Disney for $4 billion. dollars and Silent Hill which is sold about 10 million units lifetime in its entire franchise it's an absurd it's an absurd number

and that kind of thing where I when I saw that I was like no like maybe it's true but why even say something like that and then the whole 80% done thing doesn't make any sense either when Norman Reattis in December or January it was like we haven't even done mocap yet you know and which is like one of the first things you do

and they made their vertical slice clearly and then they thought they would have time and get hype behind it to finish it. Kojima's been working on Metal Gear. There's all these things that don't make any sense. It's the same thing we run into the problem with Final Fantasy 15 and Kingdom Hearts 3 and why they both can't be done at the same time

because the leadership on one is working on the other. So at some point they have to transition, but you only transition when one game's done or when you're comfortable one game is gone to gold or whatever, then you move on to the other game. So everything about it doesn't make any sense. And Gilamo del Toro talking about how the game was like just never became a thing.

And it's just like there's all these things. that don't make any sense. So I just... It doesn't make... To make... No. It won't be there. It will not be there.

Okay. Final question. The most important question. In any way, shape, or form. Will we see Crash Prandicoot? No. No.

You will see Brash Candy... Brash Ccadac. He's making his debut. He's finally coming out. He's finally coming out. He's 2015. I'm waiting for it. Yeah.

It's going to be good. It's going to be real good. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us for our predictions of E3, I really enjoyed this. This was fun. That was a good show.

This was a good little thing. I don't know what, if I had to bet on which one of you won, Colin. I'm probably going to go with Colin out of this. But that's just because he, you know, he had his notebook all day. He was like thinking, we'd be like eating lunch and he would just stop what he's doing run over the corner. So, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, pulls glasses down to the little.

Yeah, yeah. He's good at this. He didn't get his own hashtag about it for no reason. Yeah, Colin was right. Well, see, if I'm right about 20% of this, that'll be pretty good. That's actually a pretty good number for, for E3 predictions, in which anything could happen. Anything can happen.

Closing thoughts, I'm excited for this E3. I think this is going to be one of the best E3s we've had in the last couple of years. I think so. Okay. Yeah, I think so, too. You don't agree? I think it's going to be fine, E3. I don't know.

I don't think it's, I don't know. Right now coming into it, I'm like, yeah, it's going to be fun. I don't see a lot of surprises. Just hearing you guys talk about a lot of this stuff got me excited. It got me interested, and I want to see what ends up happening out of all that. And that's good because the last couple of years, I've been kind of like, whatever. But. Alas. We shall see.
