What's up, guys. Welcome to the first ever episode 73 of The Kind of Funny Games cast.
As always, I'm Tim Getty's.
Join by the coolest dudes in video games, Colin Moriarty and Greg Miller.
Hello.
Hello.
Good to be here.
Here we are. Reunited once again.
Congratulations on a successful kind of funny live.
One day we'll get you on a podcast with Jeff Gersman.
It needs to happen.
He's always like my substitute.
He's the cooler, better version of me.
That's one way looking at it.
It is.
I mean, he is one of the coolest dudes of videos.
100%.
Hands down.
I'm still working there.
I'm still trying to gain that title.
You have quite the look on right now.
This is a great look, this metal gear.
Well, I don't know if that's how you want to model.
That's the cool move, right?
That is not how you model jackets.
No.
Is it?
That's how you model your boobs if you want in your jacket.
Well on my way.
But yeah, one day I want to talk to Jeff because he has a lot to say and I have a lot
to listen to him say.
Yeah.

Um, not the goodies though.
The goodies, those are exclusive.
Yeah.
Today, we're going to talk about E3 predictions.
Yay!
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
I've been really not looking forward to this E3,
just in the sense that nothing to my taste is necessarily going to be there.
Nintendo's not exactly been showing its best hand.
But as we get closer now and as I made this list of things that may or may not be there,
oh man, E3 is the best.
There is nothing better than the pre-E3 hype.
The only thing better is the E3 hype.
And then there's that post-E3 discussion.
Yeah.
My God.
Is E three really the best?
It is the best, Colin.
Is it the best?
It is the best.
It's fun.
It's exciting.
There's things happening.
You see your friends.
You see some developers.
You see some announcements.
I have too many friends.
You don't really.
I don't want any more friends.
I got to call the hurt.
You have a lot of people on Facebook.
That's all there is.
That's all there is.
Now you get to go down there.
Maybe you see some of your insomniac friends.
I will maybe see what some of them are.
They show you a VR game.
You go out for some Indian food.
Maybe Jeremy Dunham Rolls Binds-in says you want to go out for some
dinner? I can't sustain all these relationships
forever. I mean, no, you can't
but I mean, people die. It's okay.
Yeah, someone's going to die eventually.
I realized my excitement for E3
when I was talking to everybody at Kind of Funny Live too.
Oh, yeah? Because they're all just like, oh my
God, how stoked to you? I'm like, wow, it
is very soon. That's the thing about it.
E3 is happening. E3. E3 is happening. Will it be
exclusive merch? Probably not.
No, that's the thing is E3's definitely
snuck up on me this year because Kind of Funny Live
was right there and now we're like, oh, good, to take a breath.
It's like, nope.
I'm planning E3 for us.
There's a million emails.
And so like today, booking that Thursday, being as tired as I am, wait until you see the Thursday.
That was, I was like, this won't be a bad day.
And I'm like, oh, motherfucker.
So, I mean, speaking of all that, I want to get, get right into it.
Well, first off, shout out to Patreon producer, Stephen Insler.
Once again, the homie making things happen over there on Patreon.
Thank you, Stephen Insler.
Kind of funny games.
I'm going to do a scene as this is the E3 predictions episode.
Sure.
I want to, you know, let the people know what we know about E3.
We know that on Sunday.
EA will have its press conference of sorts.
Yeah.
EA play.
Yeah.
They're calling it.
1 p.m.
Pacific time,
aka the only time that matters.
Then Bethesda on that same very Sunday.
7 p.m.
Pacific time.
Pacific time.
They're going to announce some shits.
Monday is when things get real.
Microsoft 9.30 a.m.
per yuge.
Per you going to come in, drop some bombs.
Right.
Ubisoft.
Ubisoft.
However the hell you want to say.
Ubibuibuibu.
ubiquitous,
Ubi.
Monday.
1 p.m.
ubiquitous.
And I really hope
that at that conference
in the middle of it,
you see here comes the money
and Vivendi comes out
and it turns out they bought
them on stage at that moment.
It's like all WWS stuff.
Then Sony
6 p.m.
coming in to wrap up the day.
Give me a pound
for ignoring that dumb PC conference.
Oh yeah.
Hey everybody.
Who wants to look at
keyboards that light up
in different colors?
Who's all the matters.
Then Tuesday.
Nintendo coming through without even a direct
they're just doing Zelda all day.
Twitch streaming, right? Yeah, their Nintendo
Treehouse, as they call it. Now Tim.
Audrey Drake will be
reping. Will she? For sure.
I mean, she always does. I like Audrey a lot.
I like Audrey a lot. Now, Tim, yes.
That's a lot of content happening. It is.
What are we doing around it? We're doing
everything around it, Greg. So
all day, Sunday, and all day
Monday around those conferences,
we will do and you
will get a pre and post show of
every conference. So pre, leading
into it, you get at least a half hour.
30 minutes before every conference, for sure, we're alive on Twitch.
dot TV slash kind of funny games.
We're going to be talking about it, letting you know what we think's going to happen even in addition.
Last minute stuff after this episode happens.
Then, post show, we're going to do the games cast spectacular where we do our breakdown and
kind of analyze and discuss all of the announcements and shenanigans that happened.
Now, two things on that front.
If you're not on these Twitch kids, you're not going to be able to, maybe you just catch
your news late, you're worried about missing it.
All the post shows, the gamescast spectaculars,
will go live on YouTube.com slash kind of funny games
pretty much immediately after.
And iTunes and SoundCloud and all the podcast.
Wherever you get the games cast,
it will be there.
With the exception of the post show for PlayStation,
when the PlayStation press conference ends,
we are doing a live PSI Love You XOXO.
Tim will be on it.
I will.
We'll all have your reactions there.
We'll put that up as usual.
We're not going to make any wait until 9 a.m.
That'll go live in all the same place as usual,
which is similar what's happening with this show.
But put a pin in that for one second.
Yes.
Because that happens.
Sunday and Monday, all these live things.
Tuesday, the show starts proper at noon,
usually when Nintendo's conference ends,
but now they're just streaming all day, so who cares?
Noon, the doors open.
We are live streaming,
Twitch.tv, slash kind of funny games
from an undisclosed location at E3
with all sorts of guests' reactions,
all sorts of cool stuff and shit.
I can say shit.
Yes.
Shit for you.
Then Wednesday and Thursday,
we throw off the shackles.
The first time I think in like four or five years,
I'm not shackled to a live streaming desk,
and we go play games and we do let's plays for you
and we go do games cast and we go do all this different stuff,
and YouTube.com slash kind of funny games
is populated with amazing content.
Yeah, that was the thing.
Last year we got a lot of feedback
about what you guys thought
of R3 coverage and a lot of people loved it.
We sat with GameSpot the entire time
did the show and that was awesome.
It was so much fun.
But a lot of people were like,
oh, I wish we got more let's play
reactions or this and that.
We're going all out on that stuff.
The way I've been talking about it really
is it's doubling down on what worked well
for us last year.
Last year you guys came out in droves
for the Twitch pre-impost shows.
So we're doing those again.
You liked the interview stuff
so we have one day of that on Tuesday
here on Twitch.com.com.
Kind of Funny Games.
And then the rest, yeah,
podcast breakouts,
let's plays here,
all these different things.
We're just free to go do whatever
and actually listen to what you want to see
if there's something that we don't have a book
that's breaking.
That's huge.
So keep it locked to YouTube.com slash
Kind of Funny Games.
Now pulling the pin out,
similar to how the PlayStation press conference
will end and we'll do a PSI Love You
instead of a gamescast.
We are doing today something interesting.
Usually you'd expect us to open
with what are the predictions for PlayStation.
Play the annual game I invented for Colin
where we go through and do,
and do all these different predictions
and then Colin goes really too in depth
and M-Dogg gives him two-fifths of a point
and he gets really mad.
That's still gonna happen
but as obviously a PSI Love UXOXO segment
that's how we do it.
So what we're doing here is putting
the PlayStation predictions at the end of the games cast
and that will be topic of the show
in PSI-Love UXO.
It's the first time the games cast cross
PSI-LUXOXO has ever happened.
I'm pretty stoked about it.
So if you're listening to this on patreon.com
slash kind of funny games,
you got it early.
Congratulations.
You get to hear.
Tots, Tots, Tots before anybody else on Tuesday.
So because of that,
we're starting off with a bit of that, Microsoft.
Sorry, I couldn't hear you over Greg's Lab Swallang.
What did you say?
What's coming where we're starting with?
So, so rough life today.
Here's what we're going to do with the game cast.
We're going to, each topic, we're going to look at the different devs and publishers.
Kind of go through the games that we know will be there and the things that we think might be there
and kind of decide what we think's going to happen.
Is it going to be a hit?
Is it not going to be a hit?
Will it be shown?
Will it not be shown?
You know, if you saw last year's show, you're familiar by now.
Yeah.
We're going to start with the Microsoft.
Now, before we do that, I want you guys to remember that last year, Sony dropped the E3
of Dreams.
It was called The Year of Dreams.
And we've gotten a lot of little tidbits and teases that this is going to be a sequel to that.
This is going to be the Year of Dreams, too.
Now, I'm specifically hearing that about Sony.
But me, being the optimist that I am, I'm just going to hope that it's for everybody.
Sure.
Nintendo's already.
you know, crushing my dreams.
But everybody else needs to, you know, pick that up for me.
And they're going to raise me up to the skies.
And I believe that they will.
So I'm going to be hopeful that all the good thing is going to happen.
So when I'm making predictions, I'm not predicting what I really think is going to happen.
Oh, you're swinging for the fences on this.
I'm predicting what I fucking want to.
You want the per-a-cop out.
No, no, but hey, I'm standing by it.
Oh, my God.
I'm a stand fucking by him.
Cop out.
No, no, no, I can't wait.
I fucking believe.
I'm calling.
All right.
So, we'll see.
I thought when you were saying E3 of dreams, I was like, yeah,
dreams was a, I think.
I don't think the media molecule was ready to make dreams too.
No, no, no, no.
I don't know.
I don't know about all that.
All right, start out with Microsoft.
Scorpio.
Will it be shown?
Will it be talked about?
Yes.
Yeah.
What do you think will be shown slash talked about?
I think that they'll have a, so there's this thing.
So Scorpio is, for people that don't know, is the new Xbox One code name, apparently.
And it might somehow have something to do with Project He.
Helix, which is the idea that they're going to start merging more closely, Xbox and PC, Windows PC gaming together.
I do believe that Scorpio is not coming out this year, but I think that they have to say something about it now to, if anything, quell fear about it, that Xbox One is still viable and that Xbox One, the one you want to buy is still, you know, is still worth it.
I think that's the big part of it, right?
For me, and the Scorpio deal is going to be that, yeah, that's what we've talked about, because they leaked at the same time in that one story.
which we were talking about
on Conorogrick Live, right,
should have been broken in two.
I think they come out and they're like,
guess what?
Redesigned Xbox One,
smaller, cheaper,
it's here.
We've listened to your complaints
and your concerns.
That's where it is.
Here's this nice little price point for it.
However,
we are working,
we are future-proofing.
We are trying to make it better.
We are trying to move you
closer to this ubiquitous PC Xbox system.
This is what Scorpio is.
And it's not ready for prime time.
It'll be out sometime next year.
A lot of vague things, right?
So that you can get on board right now
and say,
well, they finally made a smaller, cheaper Xbox, and Gears is coming out.
So why not get on board? I don't care. I don't need this, that, and the other for how fancy it's
going to be. Yeah, I think an Xbox one price drop might be in the order, in order as well.
If they do a small one for sure. Yeah, so the word is that there, you know, there's going to be a slim Xbox.
Maybe there can't get any bigger. So, but, yeah, so I think that there's going to be quite a few
hardware chats as well. There's also rumors that Oculus, they're working on an official kind
of VR partnership with Oculus.
So I wouldn't be surprised that was mentioned as well in the kind of the hardware segment.
But I think it would be foolish of them not to talk about Scorpio because or whatever it will
be called it won't be called Scorpia.
But just because ignoring it doesn't make it go away.
And I actually think the marketplace is going to be a little skittish if you don't start
talking about it now.
Yeah.
100%.
If you come out and you say there's a smaller Xbox and you don't mention the fact that
this thing that's all but rumored and all but true and Phil Spencer have been hinting at forever,
then you're exactly where we are right now with PlayStation 4.
Correct?
where it's like, cool, Uncharted 4 is out
and I was going to buy a PS4 for that, but I now know about
that there's this thing called Neor, PlayStation 4.5,
so fuck that. Yeah, they, unfortunately
for Microsoft, they have way more time.
It seems like, according to the rumors, before their
console's ready, I still think it was going to get into the PlayStation
predictions later that
that Neo is imminent. So
they have to say something
because there's probably more than a year
between the conference and when Scorpio's actually
going to hit market, and so they're going to have to sell a lot of,
they hope to sell millions and millions Xbox ones in that time.
If you give the market a reason,
and to buy a cheaper and slimmer Xbox one.
I think that's a smart move in the meantime in the interim.
And those can obviously be on sale at the same time as well.
So do you think that they'll be three at the end of the day?
They'll be the Scorpio.
They'll be the slim Xbox and then the normal Xbox.
I think you'll have three moving around,
but I think by the time Scorpio comes out,
the slim Xbox will be the replacement for their big Xbox.
100%.
And I think that they'll start liquidating those other Xbox ones.
If they haven't really stopped production already,
I don't know. I don't know anything about that kind of stuff.
So in terms of Microsoft's thing,
it's just that they need to push more Xbox ones.
that Xbox 1 is bloated and ugly and huge
and probably way too expensive to make so I think that
they're not stupid they see
the PS4 and they know that a more powerful machine is
way slimmer and way smaller and way sleeker and I think that they can
do better with Xbox 1 I think they know that so
and the bricks outside of the system it's just like a whole
The Xbox one is kind of a mess when you really look at it in terms of like the
the hardware itself so I think there's a lot of refinement that they can be done
and I think that's going to be out way sooner than Scorpio
but by the time Scorpio comes out I think the fat Xbox will be a relative
just like the fat yesor.
HoloLens will it make an appearance
Possibly. I don't know. I mean, I'm not so sure how longs is ever going to make it to market. But it's a cool piece of hardware. They could talk about it. They did last year with Minecraft. I mean, it made sense. But unless they really have an intention of selling this thing, and I'm not so sure they do. I wouldn't be surprised if it had something like it had last year, but smaller even, where it is just like a mention here or a mention there about the future and what they're possibly coming up for. And then, yeah, on the show floor, there is a demo similar to how it was last year. Right. All right, you're getting into this multiplayer match. Let's use.
HoloLens for it and then you go and play.
But yeah, the fact that they have been so quiet about HoloLens and there haven't been
all this leaks and VR is running away with the conversation, I don't know if it's the right
time to jump out and try to make a deal out of it when it is going to be a year dominated
by Oculus and PSVR and V.
And I think if you can come out and say, all right, cool, like we are partnering with
Oculus, you know, there is going to be some integration here.
That's a stronger message than we're still working on this tech.
Don't forget about it, but I think that's farther off than people really give it credit for.
backwards compatibility. Do you think it will be a big deal at the conference?
No, I don't think so.
It'll be another mention.
Last year we talked about,
we debuted backwards compatibility and now more than two, whatever,
X number of titles are available for you.
I think it's like one of your bull points when you're getting the ball rolling about what's
happened in the last year of Xbox.
Yeah, I don't think it'll make a big deal.
It wouldn't make any sense at this point.
Unless they had like some, I don't know enough about what's going on there.
Unless they had a series of substantial games that have yet been ported,
I don't think it's worth talking about again.
It would sound a little redundant.
All right, get into the games here.
Gears 4, we can assume there'll be a gameplay demo.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, Gears 4 will probably be the marquee title there.
Yeah.
Crackdown 3.
Yeah, that'll be in there.
Oh, yeah.
The big question for me, do you think that they'll do the multiplayer beta available
right now deal with that guy?
It's possible.
I don't, they'll probably use something like that with one of their games.
I don't know that that's going to be that game.
Because there's sea of thieves floating around as well, which I think is going to need
a beta.
And so I don't, I don't, I'm not quite sure.
what their plan is with Crackdown 3,
but they must show way more of that game.
I think that that game's just cursoryly
in getting news every day for ConnerG Live
and just reading about video games every day as I do.
I just don't see that much chatter about Crackdown,
and I think the game looks really great.
I think it's just because it's been quiet for so long.
Yeah, but they need to start revving the engine again.
They announced it too early.
I mean, this is a, this is a,
they've announced almost all of their games too early, actually.
So it's, with the exception of maybe gears.
So, yeah, I think that
that might be in a safe assumption to make,
but I don't know,
but Crackdown 3 will be a marquey title there.
as well. I think it'll be a marquee title and I wouldn't be surprised if it just went the usual way of Crackdown where they
it's not available right now for everybody. You put it with gears. Remember that was the big run when Crackdown
originally came. That was the big deal and I got put it with Halo or whatever. Yeah. See, my thing is I think that
so Crackdown obviously they need to talk about a lot. I think Halo Wars too is the other big title that they're
they'll show off and stuff. My thing is they're either going to do the available right now for
crackdown beta or for Halo Wars demo. But I think both of them will be announced. One of them will be a right now thing
and one of them will be down the road.
The Halo Wars demo, I think, is more down the road.
How far out is Halo Wars do we know?
Further out, I think.
Saga's making that, right?
One of their studios, assembly, whatever.
Creative assembly, creative assembly.
So I don't think that that games anywhere near being done.
So I would assume that they're not even remotely in alpha, nonetheless, beta.
So I would say if you're going to have one of those games, Crackdown would be the one.
Because I think Crackdown, had they put a date on it yet?
It's got to be the fall or the spring.
I don't think they have.
Somewhere around there.
I don't know.
Yeah, I do not know.
See of Thieves.
Do you think that they'll have a nice demo for it during the conference?
Yeah, I think so.
I think you have to show C of thieves because I feel like there's people that are interested in it.
It's a different kind of game for Rare.
And I wonder if there's really actual, actually a lot of enthusiasm around it or not.
I think you have to kind of start revitalizing that as well.
That's the game you have to sell.
Crackdown 3 just says 2016.
2016?
Yeah.
I don't know that Crackdown makes it this year, but I don't know that you even need it this year either.
That's the other big thing.
Sure.
But yeah, we'll see what happens.
Because I think Recore is supposed to be this year too, right?
So I think that we,
do you want to spread your games out a little bit?
We'll see.
Recore's the next one on the list.
Do you think we get an actual gameplay demo of that or just a trailer?
I think we get a gameplay demo and a release date.
I think that that game's probably got to be pretty much ready to go.
That's an armature game, right?
So that's being made in the States.
It's been in development for a while.
Have we seen gameplay?
Last I remember is the E3 trailer.
I don't think so, no.
Yeah, so no way that's this year.
It could be.
I think, because I really don't,
I'm not so sure recor is going to be,
it's a AAA game per se,
but I don't know that,
you know,
the bonafides of armature
and kind of what's going on
with in Afune and all that kind of stuff
is really going to lend that
to being a massive game.
And I think that's a game you might want
to just get out.
That's not going to be a massive game at all.
No, that's one of those games
that replaces the mid tier
I always talked about, right?
Here is this game that Microsoft's behind,
but no,
it's not.
I mean,
when you start looking at like,
I don't even a thermometer,
a barometer,
right?
It's below quantum break,
for sure in terms of like
how people are going to be hyped for it and what's going to happen
it's not getting TV commercials
it's with a bunch of other
games yeah no it definitely the best place to
play the strongest Xbox lineup in
years ever ever
killer instinct I'm sure we'll get
something some character that's huge
or what abs huge
um
Cuphead I'm assuming
during the conference I think you got a release date
for Cuphead too yeah
do you think they make a big deal about it during the conference or is it just
something that happens at the show you know I think
I would hope that they actually give it a
release date and a like a standalone trailer not just an Xbox ID thing I think that
it's a big enough deal for them and it has been like like there's excitement for that
game and I think that they they understand that and they know that and I think that
hopefully it's a place where it's ready enough to make big announcements about and I think
that they'll kind of give it that promoted push that I feel like it's deserved and earned over
the last couple of years with all the game of the show awards yeah yeah I can't I can't
say for sure but it seems like Cuphead's one of those games that ID at Xbox identified and
dump money into
and that game
was supposed to be done
way sooner
and I feel like
they went back
to the drawing more
with their extra capital
and refined the game
and I think it probably
has to be ready to go
at this point.
Very complicated game
to make because of the art style
but I think
that has to be this year
and I would be surprised
if that wasn't there
and I'd be surprised
it didn't get a release date
and I wouldn't be surprised
it was soon.
I mean it should be
I feel like we've been talking
about Cuffhead forever
it's time to get that out
because I think they did burn
not goodwill but a lot
of their limelight
because it did
when that debut of Cuphead
everybody was like
holy
shit. And then it's been like, okay.
Yeah, from what I heard, they went back
to the drawing board a bit and added, because
like the big critique was that there wasn't enough
It's just boss fights. Yeah, it was just boss fights.
There wasn't platforming and stuff. And from what it sounds like,
they went back and are adding platforming stuff, which
is super awesome. I'm excited about that.
Now getting into the more kind of
completely unconfirmed stuff.
Very speculative. Battle Toads.
No, I don't think so. I think
that there's, this
is the Crash Bandicoat of Microsoft.
I don't think that I really
personally do not believe Sony has any interest
and is not going to do Crash Bandicoot and I could be wrong
and I really feel like the same thing is with Battletozoz. I don't know like
why you'd invest money in a series that's been dead for
so long. It's nostalgic for
some people and it'll be purchased by some people
but we can see that they were wearing Battle Toad
shit and stuff because of a rare replay and
I think it's a red herring. I don't know.
I'd be surprised if it is it's a $20 game being
made by some studio you never heard of. I don't think any of their like
internals are working on Battletoes.
I would love to be wrong by the way. I'm just being
realistic. That's all. Halo 6
6. No. We get a T-No. No way.
You don't think so?
No.
They interfere with gears and stuff.
You interfere with Halo Wars.
See, I think that at least a teaser is, not at least, at most, a teaser, I think might be a good idea just to kind of get that ball rolling on just the continuation, specifically because Halo 5 was supposed to be the start of a new thing.
Like to keep Halo relevant, because at this point it is, it's as relevant as it is.
It's just going to keep kind of going, but I feel like it needs that fire of, yeah, this year is gears, but Halo is coming still.
I think it'd be good for them to keep that in the conversation and stuff.
And I think a teaser would be a strong call for them.
I disagree just because I think that we're starting to,
I mean,
we're already talking about games that are announced too soon,
games that have been in the limelight too long that, like, missed their arc.
And Halo 6 is, what, a 2019 game maybe?
Like, I don't, so it's like, why would you ever ever say,
maybe 2018 if you're lucky?
So why would you ever say anything about that game now?
I think you just leave it alone and let, you know,
I think they have to take some critical feedback,
but more importantly, like I don't, I said it before the game came out.
Like, I don't believe for a second that that game sold nearly as well as the other Halo games.
And I think that they have to go back to the drawing board and figure out why that is and flesh that out and figure that out and give them time to, you know, three, three to make the game, you know, it's a huge mistake to announce a game two to three years before it's going to launch, even in a teaser.
And I like the Halo 5 teaser.
I thought it was very cute.
You know, I was in the desert and stuff.
Yeah, it's a cute little kind of thing for people.
It was like, you need you wear the poncho in the game.
bullshit advertising.
But yeah, to me, I think you
like gears take the line line line. I think that they understand that the trajectory
of Halo is down. I think that's obvious.
So, like gears have the line, like, gears
looks fucking great. And, you know, just let them
and they have these other games that they have to get out, like
scale-bound and shit. It's like, you don't want to,
you don't want to announce too many things.
So scale-bound, do you think that they'll actually give a release date?
No. I think that
when we saw scale-bound last year, it was running
like garbage, which I remember,
I was like, wow, I can't wait. They're even showing this.
and I think they have a lot of work to do
and I think platinum is clearly spread very thin
and as you can see from their last few games
that people just don't seem to like nearly as much
their star is falling like
Oh their star already fell
Yeah so I think so I think they have a lot to prove with Skelbaum
but I think you only show it when it's time when it's ready
Should they be at gamescom
I think that you'll see that there
Since that's when it was revealed the first time I think
I think you'll get a trailer some kind of mashup
whatever but yeah you won't get a full-fledged demo
You won't get a release date
Yeah any new IP
you shown?
Yes, 100%.
Like a big new IP, I mean.
Yeah?
Yeah, maybe.
I don't know what that could be.
But yeah, investing new IP is smart.
Like I was saying, like, I think both Sony and Microsoft suffer from the same problems,
which is going back to the well way, maybe one too many times with some of these games.
They need new franchises.
So it'll be smart to invest in that, even if it's a second party, and it probably is.
And they are investing in that.
Scale Bounds a new IP from a second party.
We'll take away third party being published by the first party.
Recourt is obviously a new IP.
So I think they continue to invest
And that would be smart
I think that's how you I think those are the level of announcements
You'll see just like you saw last year where it was like
Holy shit they work on the Inifunei oh my god
So then the final thing for Microsoft
Do you think there'll be any big third party
Announcements on stage at the conference
I want to say yeah
But then it just gets in this weird thing of like
My knee jerk was like oh Mass Effect
But then it's like well EA's meant such a big deal about
That they don't they're not going to be at the show
Does this count? How does that feel they have their own thing the day before
But would they come out and do something special there?
you assume Activision will be at Sony again.
It just seems that's the new landscape.
So then is it Ubisoft?
Do you figure Ubisoft come out and they show off like, hey,
at our conference, we announced the division,
whatever expansion multiplayer map here it is.
Let's walk you through, do the detailed demo like we sometimes do.
I think EA will be there with Titanfall too.
I think that's a safe assumption.
I mean, that is the home of Titanfall.
But that kind of makes an interesting point, right?
you think maybe they'd want to break out and go to PlayStation
to be like, hey, we're here finally.
Because that speech writes itself
when they come out, right?
Ladies and gentlemen, whoever,
from Titanfall 2,
and the place goes wild and come on,
it's so excited to be on a PlayStation stage.
We saw a lot of success with Titanfall,
Titanfall 1.
We're excited to be bringing to the PlayStation platform,
along with this fucking Shuehoy Yoshita meck
you can get into.
Yeah, I see it the opposite where
where I don't think Titanfall 2 is going to be like a huge game
and especially in the proximity,
which is coming out to Battlefield and Call of Duty.
I think that's fucking that game
is not going to do as well as people think.
And so I don't think you score in the people that,
you know, you dance with the one that brought you,
at least the Xbox fans that were there, did buy Titanfall.
And so I think you talked to them and then you just put it out supplementarily
on PS4 to get those gamers as well who are just interested.
But I don't know if you want to fuck around too much with that.
I think Titanfall is still on Xbox.
I mean, out of all the third-party games, I think the Titanfall is probably the
safest bet.
Interesting.
No, I'm with you.
It's just one of those things of, I think it would piss off as many Xbox
fans because I think a lot.
I think if you own an Xbox, you probably own a PlayStation 4 at this point.
Not that, I know that's, don't get me wrong.
I know there's plenty of people who don't.
But I just say that because I know they're going to split the difference between both of them.
And I think EA is going to be at Sony with Battlefield.
So, yeah, that makes sense, actually.
So we'll see.
I don't know.
Who the hell knows?
So moving on.
Topic two, we're going to go through all the third party guys that have conferences.
So Bethesda, EA, and Ubisoft.
We'll start with Bethesda.
Dishonor 2.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Of course.
demo release date
yeah you'd assume so
November probably
they've talked about it long enough
they've it's been well
it's been known well long enough
yeah arcane's definitely ready to go
cool
fallout four dLC
no I don't think so
I think you'll I think you'll talk about
fallout four I think
we talked a little bit of those on PSI love you X OX so I think
that the ones they've announced are the ones you're going to get
and I think it's time for them to move on
and I think they're going to go quiet
Far Harbor was the big one so it's like what you have a couple
supplemental if anything it gets mentioned in like
And we also still have exciting things coming for Fallout 4
on top of Far Harbor which you just released
for mods on these, you know.
Yeah, I think they talk about mods.
I think they talk about sales.
I think talk about the sustained support of it, new patches.
I don't know that they want to do more content for Fallout 4.
I don't know that it behooves them to do that.
It just doesn't seem like Fallout 4 has the same buzz that Fallout 3 had.
So, I mean, it has a substantial buzz.
It's a fucking massive game.
But, you know, contextually speaking,
I don't know that it's worth it for the new.
To do that, and Fallot 3 had five pieces of DLC,
including one one Far Harbor type piece of DLC,
which was Point Lookout.
So I think,
it's obviously going to be there, but I don't know that it's going to be a lynchpin.
I don't know that anything from Bethesda Game Studios is going to be a lynchpin at this
particular conference.
That was last year.
Skyrim.
Do you think we'll see an HD collection version, whatever, for Elder Scrolls?
I don't, but I...
I don't think it's beyond their own possibility.
I don't think you will, but I don't think it's crazy.
No, I don't know.
I don't know.
It might be too hard to judge, because I mean, this is what I was saying, a PSI-W-X-O-X-O.
It might be a little too harsh, but it's just to say, like, I think people are kind of
over the shit now.
In a way where it's just like,
let's see what you have,
go away and,
you know,
make something like we just got the Witcher 3.
We just got dying light.
We just got Far Cry 4,
Far Cry 5.
Prime with these open world games
that look better,
that run better,
that play better,
that are more fun.
Like,
you gotta figure it out.
And so just take your time.
You made hundreds of millions
of dollars on this game.
Just go away.
But keep in mind,
I mean,
that's the thing.
This is a workaround.
A collection would be a workaround
of those issues, right?
Skyrim is beloved.
it's not the same argument
or a problem that fought four has because
it's a contemporary with those. This one is
a callback to this world you did love. It's beautiful.
It's still the same gameplay. It's still a clunky here and there.
But it's not in the same level of comparing it to Whicher 3.
It could be. The question then is like who's porning it and
You know, because it's not without the game studios and then
Which is, you know, possible. I mean, they have other studios. I can do it.
I just think that you remind people of the problems. I think Skyrim was a beloved game.
I think it is a beloved game, but it came out five years ago.
and let sleeping dogs, you know, lie.
Well, so they're Elder Scroll 6.
Any tease?
No, no way.
That game is so far away.
Yeah.
The same studio that does fall out does the Elder Scrolls game.
So there's no way that they, that game's in pre-production, I'm sure, but no, there's no way.
Wolfenstein.
Yeah.
I think that, I think that I really do think that machine games will be there.
So there's, there's conjecture that machine games might be working on Quake, which would be cool.
But I hope that that's not the case.
I think Wolfenstein's going to have a new game.
Wolfenstein, the New Order and the Old Blood were fucking awesome,
awesome games.
And I think that it's time for them to show it.
If it's not this year, it's going to definitely be next year.
But I think you can see an arcane-like situation with machine games where they show the game,
and it comes out next fall.
But that also doesn't seem to be in line with what Bethesda does.
But then again, they did that with dishonor too.
So machine games has been quiet.
And I think that it's time.
And I'm so fucking excited.
That's definitely what I'm most excited about.
They are so good.
So very good.
Yeah.
Doom DLC.
Yeah,
probably.
Yeah.
Doom's, people love Doom.
Which I'm happy about.
It did a really nice job.
The new Id.
Evil Within 2.
Yes.
You think it's a teaser trailer or a demo?
What are we getting?
I think,
so I don't know that you do.
So Tangleworks is a Bthesda studio that does that game.
Evil Within was a surprise hit.
I think everyone,
that's safe to assume.
I think it's safely sold much better than I thought it was going to do.
I think the critical reception was great.
The problem with this is I don't know if you stack machine games and tango works in the same space
Which and I think that machine games
Might be further along
That's my assumption. I don't know for sure because evil within seems so tortured that it seems like that studio needs a little bit more time
I don't know you're gonna get both of those but I think it's gonna be one or the other if it's both then
Bivestda is firing all cylinders and that's gonna be fucking awesome
But evil within two is probably a 2017 game and and they're definitely gonna do another
I can see you getting them both, but I think you just get them in different doses.
I think, yeah, I think Wulfenstein or whatever machine games is working on is ready to go.
And if it's Wolfensstein, I think it is, it's out this fall.
I think it's that quick.
That would be fucking awesome, but I think that the DLC came out last spring.
So I don't know that they've had enough time.
Yeah.
We'll see.
The good news is that they did develop, as far as I know, they develop all those skews internally and they're not.
So the old blood, the DLC wasn't on PS3 and Xbox 360, which means they were already walking away from that.
with fewer skews to make, so only
PS4 Xbox 1 and PC could be quicker for them to make the game.
They already have the engine. The engine's already beautiful.
Already rendering the game really beautifully.
So it's possible that it's ready this fall, but I don't know.
I think those are both 2017 games.
I would love fucking Wolfensk quicker.
The minute that's announced, that's like my most interesting.
I feel like you get a deep dive of Wolfenstein at this press conference,
whether it's fall or whether it's spring.
And I think Evil Within is just a teaser trailer.
And then the logo at the end.
Do you think that it's possible machine games is doing Quake?
It's anything's possible, but you, yeah, you'd really hope they,
I think Bethes is not stupid.
I think they saw what happened here
with people being excited about this Wolfenstein
and this reinvigorated franchise.
You know, finally somebody doing the name proud,
finally giving this thing relevance again in the modern day.
And I don't think you immediately gamble that away
and put them onto Quake and say, do it again for Quake.
Yeah, I don't think it's possible
if Quake is under development somewhere else.
100%.
But I think it would be smart to let them do Wulfenstein one more time.
Wrap that story up, the new BJ story
and then let them go to Quake
and let that be out by 2020.
anyway. I know I said BJs.
B.J. Blascovich, everyone goes...
Speaking of BJs, go suck a dick.
All right. Greg.
Thank you.
Anything else for Bethesda?
I still kick around this idea that Prey comes back, but I...
But I don't know who would make...
I mean, it's possible.
I mean, there are two Arcane studios now, aren't there?
There's been a lot of rumors about it coming back.
I've seen the last couple weeks just on...
Yeah, I mean, that people have been saying that show.
I mean, I saw Prey five years ago.
Pray 2.
It looked awesome.
And it did look great.
It was a great demo.
I saw it when Skyrim was revealed.
That's how long ago it was.
And it looked great.
It actually looked better than Skyrim.
I think that's enough.
When you really think about Bethesda,
see, what's so intriguing about Bethesda,
it's like the mirror image of deep silver in my mind.
Like deep silver started to like rise in prominence a little bit,
not as much.
But then they just started like getting into bed
and releasing random shit that like doesn't behoove
like the long-term sustainability of that publisher.
So you get like home front.
You're getting like they have Saints Row,
which is great, but then they're getting like mighty number nine, which people aren't really caring about, all these kinds of things.
They're just kind of like middling, releasing these games.
Like, Bethesda seems to take care of its portfolio much more.
And for them to just release great games from great studios a few a year, I think is the right way to go for them.
I know that doesn't let them scale.
But I think if they treat their stuff with great care as they've been doing, I think it behooves them.
So I think when you think about Wolfenstein, possibly Wolfenstein, a possibility of Wolfenson, two.
Obviously, DeSanaut 2 has already been announced and coming out.
You chatter a little bit off while out in Doom.
That's almost enough.
Right? I just feel like you just walk away.
Remember last year when we were going into this and doing pre and post on Bethesda,
we were like, well, this is awesome. They won't do it again next year.
And then they prove you wrong by coming out and having enough games and enough things people care about that.
They can't come out and do another E3 press conference.
It's unbelievable.
And if they keep cycling like this, that's why I say maybe you save evil within two for next year.
And that's when you announce elder scrolls.
But I don't know if you do that.
Maybe that's when you announce a collection.
That's when you bring back parade.
It's when you acquire a new studio.
That's when Wolfenstein is kind of coming out.
So it gets the disider to your two treatment.
It's complicated, but I'm actually most intrigued by Bethes.
With the exception of Sony, I'm most intrigued by what Bethesda does
because I thought their press conference was quite effective last year.
Do you think that Bethesda makes any appearances at the Big Boys conference?
If they do it all, it will probably be at Microsoft.
Although I think that they announced something that just never came to fruition or hadn't,
or really is just kind of coming to fruition now, and I feel like it kind of made them look bad.
So I don't know that they, you don't need to do that.
I don't, if I was one of these publishers, I wouldn't appear at anyone's thing.
I just feel like, we're doing our own thing.
We're agnostic, and we love everyone.
I mean, I just don't think it's, I don't think it's good business.
You know, it might be good business on the back end for them
because they're obviously getting money, but optically, I don't think it's smart.
The only optic to it is, I think it's an old way of thinking
in the fact of, oh, well, we are a third party,
so not every Xbox fans is they going to watch Bethesda.
So if I go to the Xbox conference and appear there,
I'm in front of a new audience, when in reality, we all watch the same thing.
And when you're doing a pre-show or getting ready for the show,
you really care about, people are talking about what they already saw.
So it's not like you're really losing them in the eyes.
Yeah, we'll see.
Yeah.
Madden
Oh so many sports
What do you expect us to get?
Release date
Really?
Yeah
Like when you say release it
You mean like February blank or whatever
A real day
February 17 whatever it is
See I bet we just get a year
I think it'll be like
Trailer ends here's a year
I disagree
I hope I'm totally want to fucking release day
I don't know I think they push it
I think they probably needed a few more months
And I think that they're ready to
They already have a date internally probably
And they're ready to go
I think it would be smart to announce
that date. You don't want to tease the mess effect too much
more. People are going to start getting impatient. It was probably
a stupid idea if they were unsure
the game was going to be ready to announce. They should have probably
waited to announce it this year. But I think they're learning that. They couldn't have foreseen that
they probably thought the game was going to be ready. I think that that game's
awesome. I really, really hope that's true.
Battlefield. We see
extended demo. Oh yeah, the battlefield would be huge. That game looks great.
Probably multiplayer demo. You assume. Yep. Then
Star Wars Battlefront. I'm assuming just
more DLC unless there was the
murmurings of a single player
like DLC package that could be
interesting but I think
Battlefield 2 will have a single player campaign and I think
I think they mention it I think
they mention Battlefield 2
Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah but I don't come out talk
Battlefield here's DLC it's a new map
It's a tie into Rogue 1 maybe
And then here's what we're talking
Where Battlefield 2 is coming
So with Star Wars what do you think happens
So obviously this Battlefront DLC talk
Maybe Battlefront 2
announcement or something, but anything else?
Yeah, I think Vicerol's game gets shown.
Although I think that
that game's far out.
Far out. So Vicerral and Respon are both working on Star Wars games.
Third person ones, apparently. I think Vicerol's way farther along.
And so I think that's a 2017 game, and I think you show it.
You have to kind of shit or get off the pot with this game at this point.
If it's a year to 18 months out, I think it's safe to do it.
Star Wars has a lot of fandom.
Although they have to balance all the stuff with like the Star Wars celebration shit
and all that kind of stuff where they're going to announce things with Disney.
so, you know, I don't know, you have to balance that stuff out.
I think Battlefront is definitely like a safe assumption,
but I would love to see Vistral's game,
and I think it's time to name it.
I think it's time to put a date on it,
not a specific date, but a year.
And show us what it's all about.
Bring Amy on stage.
You know, do that kind of thing?
I think I'll be great.
I'd like to, I just don't think they're ready.
I believe.
Okay.
I believe.
Titanfall, too.
Yeah.
Definitely, absolutely.
Release date, the whole Shabelle.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, they already talked about how it's going to be a release very closely.
Like, we already have a release very closely.
window actually. I think it's something like
three weeks before and it's like September
29 to November 11 or something like somewhere
in there we know because they said it's going to be within weeks of battlefield
which I think is a huge fucking mistake
but
because they're going to cannibalize their own
game and call duty is going to cannibalize it too I think you
release that thing in the spring sit on it but
yeah, Titan fall two will be prominently
something. Anything else with EA
worth mentioning?
I mean I'm thinking I so EA
is like I think you're going to see less
mobile and all that kind of shit like that was the really grown
moment last year.
I think you'll see something from, you know, something
Plants versus Zombies related or Peggle related,
which is fine, some pop gap stuff. You're going to see them
come out with somebody new IPs, new indie stuff that they're trying to go.
Something in the vein of Yarnie. Yeah, I don't think you're in gaming
from Yarnie, too, or whatever, but you'll get something like
that, right? Again, we are the company
that makes these games that are juggernaut so we can
come out and actually finance these little games,
these different experiences. That'd be cool.
And then do you think, God damn,
Fottella, zero
fuck's given.
spraying water everywhere.
Does EA come out at anyone's
PlayStation or Microsoft?
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, when we're going, the battlefield
one at Sony makes well sense.
I think Battlefield at Sony makes sense
and I think maybe Mass Effect
at Microsoft.
But keep in mind, the battlefield that Sony
does get in the way then
of the Call of Duty thing,
Sony's been doing this generation.
That's entirely true as well.
But I think that,
and that could be in the fine print
in the contracts,
but I don't think Sony gives a fuck.
If that's going to be a problem,
it's going to be for Activision,
and that could be something
that they're not allowed
to do, in which case I think you switch
those, I think Mass Effect goes to Sony
and Battlefield goes to
Microsoft, although I think
MassFex's going to be a safe bet, a
secondary or a tertiary safe bet
behind Battlefield and maybe Titanfall,
as EA games that would appear at the conferences.
So we'll see.
Ubisoft. Watch dogs, too.
Yeah, absolutely. All but confirm.
Just don't even fucking go. South Park
Fractured but hole. It's the one we all
care about. This is where it comes out
and gets fucking blown out of the water. And you show what
What do you think we get?
Do we get a demo?
Do we just get a trailer?
Do we just get a trailer?
Do we get a trailer with gameplay in it?
Unlike last year's trailer that was just them talking or whatever.
I think it is showcasing stuff.
I wouldn't be surprised if, yeah, it's extended to a point where there's some talking head out there explaining what exactly you're seeing.
Like, yeah, Carmen's dressed as his superhero.
And you see he's using this power to do this, that, and the other.
And I think it ends with like, yeah, we're aiming at spring 2017 kind of thing.
Yeah, I think, yeah, I don't know that you put a date on it because of the history of the previous game.
Although it is a different studio.
there was publisher problems with that game.
It was caught into space between spaces,
and it was amazing that it was still good.
It was great, actually.
It was a really fantastic game.
But per watchdogs, too, I think watchdogs too is imminent.
I think watchdogs too is October.
I think that game is almost done.
I think that they've been sitting on it for a long time.
They learned a lot from the original watchdogs,
which I think was underwhelming to most people.
Watchdugs too is definitely confirmed.
I mean, we've seen the logo already.
We know everything's out.
They put out a statement.
You'll be stuff put out of saying that it'll be anything.
Cool. So yeah, obviously that will be there.
Yeah. I'm feeling good about it too.
I mean, I feel like, you know, looking at Ubi's track record, it's like...
Assassin's Creed to Assassin's Creed is what I always say.
I imagine this being very similar.
Everything I didn't like about Watch Dogs, we fixed in Watch Dogs 2.
Or Mass Effect to Mass Effect, too.
I mean, not that I think that all those changes were positive.
Collin just...
And I think Assassin's Creed is super overrated.
But yeah, you get, you learn and go uncharted to Uncharted to 2.
I mean, yeah, you put out the game, you see what happens.
Watch Dogs, see, what people who cited with Watchdogs is that that was, that was, first
well the first next day game we had ever seen
which makes it kind of cool when you think about it
we didn't know what it was we assumed it was from next gen console
they wouldn't say when they announced it the consoles weren't out yet
I showed it after E3 after E3 after E3 after yeah and then
the game was kind of incubating for a while and I think that they were just the tip
of the spear so it's like hard to know what you're doing right or wrong
and so I think that they're just going to go back and they already have their
engine I don't think they felt like really fuck around with any of that kind of
something looked fine I think it's just the way you ran a little bit
and also more of the content in the gameplay so if they can just nail those
things and watch Shokes do is going to be a huge step ahead and that will
revitalize what I think is going to be an assassin's
Creed-like franchise that they're going to fucking run into the ground.
I don't believe it's this year is my one thing.
That's my one thing.
I think that they've been, you know, like the box leaked or whatever this kid doing is whatever
the hell it was today.
But I think they're getting ready to get you excited about it, but I find it hard to believe
that.
But what comes from them this year then?
Because there is no Assassin's Creed.
Let's go through this then.
And then we can circle back to that.
So Ghost Recon, Wadlands.
Yeah, I think that's got to be this year.
That's got, is it?
Does it say 2016?
No, but that's my prediction.
Oh, yeah.
Then that's possible.
I was going to say it's in the next calendar year.
I think.
I still think you've got to get some of these other games that they've released time to breathe.
I think that they just released a fucking Tom Clancy game in December and then they release the
division.
I don't know that you want to like continue to release these games that require groups of hundreds
of thousands or millions of people to play it.
You know, like you don't want to cannibalize your own shit and then have to worry about
getting cannibalized by other games.
And I don't think you release that game next to Call Out Duty in Battlefield.
I think it'll be a fucking major thing.
Go Street.
How well is supposed to be this year according to Ubisoft?
Yeah, I don't believe it.
I don't believe it.
Unless it's a summer game, unless it's soon.
you know, which is possible because they showed that game years ago.
So it's like...
Ghostry gun?
Yeah, didn't they show that game two years ago?
I think it was last year was the debut.
We have already fallen out on the ATVs falling out of the plane or whatever.
Oh, okay, then no, maybe it's not the show them at all.
But I don't think you release that game.
They have to be smart about prioritizing when they release these games and managing their portfolios.
Like, you don't want to go up against Activision games.
No.
You know, any A games.
Like, you just need to, you need to go at your own pace.
They wait too long and they're going to go up against Destiny, too, though.
Wikipedia says 2017, so it's one of those games nobody fucking knows.
Division expansions, I'm sure.
Oh yeah, definitely.
For a bit about that.
Definitely.
For honor.
Yeah.
I mean, it'll be there for sure.
They're going to do more with it.
They made a big deal about it last year and everybody would walk away going,
that seemed kind of cool.
And we really like that guy's cane.
Now we'll get to see him come back out with the cane and tell us more about it.
Yes, then we get kind of to the question mark.
So beyond good and evil too.
I don't know.
Do we even care?
Is that even an E3 game?
You know, do you know?
But if it isn't, then what do you talk about it?
I think it's definitely an E3 game in the sense of where else would they talk about it.
Like they do, they would do that for the games journalists.
They would do that for the people that are going to be like, oh, my God,
and freak out in a room full of like-minded people.
You know what I mean?
I think that like those moments are things you need to think about when you're creating your press conference.
I mean, for that, what you're talking about, like you were talking about the core gamer, right?
Like probably the people watching this.
And so I would just do it to PSX.
And granted, it's not a, it's not a PlayStation exclusive.
but I mean if you want a room full of fucking dorks like Colin and I
that's the kind where it is like it's finally happening holy shit
that's blah blah blah blah uh splinter cell does it come back
eventually not that I mean yeah you have so much Tom Clancy shit
and gestating I don't know like why you'd want to want to get too crazy with it
Far Cry 5 no teaser no way too soon
Now here's the Tim Getty's pie in the sky
Prince of Persia we have a hole with Assassin's Creed
so I'm thinking
if there's any time to slide on in there
boom surprise Prince of Persia game
that'd be awesome working on it
here it is this fall
Jesus yeah who makes it though
I don't know
Hubesoft
Ubisoft makes it one of their 400 studios
yeah I mean I'm just quite
I'm just trying to figure out like who makes it and like where it comes from
I don't know that Prince of Persia has any resonance
I think there's going to be a fall game
but I think it's going to be watchdogs
I just I don't yeah we'll see
I mean we'll see it's possible
Prince of Persia is it's
It's been gone for so long, but that's one of those franchises that at any moment it can come back.
You know, and I feel like it will at some point.
You know, now that Jake Chillon Hall is moving on to the division.
You know, he's taking it as a curse to that game.
Hopefully, it leaves a nice little space for a good Prince of Persian.
A Prince of Persian game would be dope if they were like, that would be awesome.
That would be fucking rad if they came out and said that, yeah.
I'm assuming Rayman will get something too.
It's been a while.
Let it go.
Let it go.
Since legends, so.
No, they're not. They're games.
What are you talking about?
They're pretty.
Okay, fine.
No, but they're awesome.
They are awesome games.
You're a hated Greg.
I am a hater, you're right.
No, I admit 100% that I'm a hater of that and Crash Bandy Cout.
Oh, my God.
Why am I your friend?
Let them go.
I don't even know.
Let's something die for a change, you know?
But the Rayman games did it well.
He died.
They brought them back and made good games.
Yeah, Rayman was great.
Those two games were great.
Didn't like them.
You like them?
Yeah.
They were awesome.
You're crazy about that.
I got CalMoriardi and you said a good job.
Good.
I feel like a winner today.
Next topic.
Nintendo.
Speaking of winners.
So the show in Zelda, my predictions for this is that it is going to be the game of the show for people at the show.
It is going to be the talk of the show.
Everyone's going to be like, did you play Zelda?
They're all going to be talking about it, and it's going to go one of two ways.
It's either going to be the second coming of Jesus or people are going to be like they fucked up.
And I think that it's going to be good.
I think it's going to be the former to that.
And the further prediction is a little more nuanced is that I think that there will be a gameplay mechanic that is,
unique and interesting to Zelda that differentiates it from the Skyrims and the more open world things
because everyone's expecting open world Zelda but I think there's going to be some gameplay
mechanic that really ties this down to this is what the new Zelda is all about I hope it's the
second coming you know what I mean from every moment we've seen from that game is always like that's
beautiful that's cool wow is it going to be Skyron meets Zelda which I would be all for and so
you really really hope especially when like they're you know these leaks out of how long people
are getting booked for for demos and stuff.
It seems like it's going to be a deep-ass dive into this Zelda world.
And if that world is that fleshed out, if there's that much to do, that is super, super interesting.
There's rumors that it's a 90-minute demo.
So, I mean, that sounds good.
You know, like, that's a-
It sounds like the kind of demo that is endless.
Sounds like the kind of demo that, like, they're just going to cut you off because they're just going to be like, okay, go.
You have two people and you say one guy, you run, you run that way.
You run this way.
Yeah.
And it indicates to me that, you know, it is open world.
I think that's obvious.
I'd be disappointed if that wasn't the case.
Although I think we have to temper our expectations.
I don't think it's going to be Skyrim.
I think it's going to be a more robust high rule that,
and I'm not saying, you know, obviously it's going to be a high rule or something like that.
Maybe it's Termina.
But it's going to be a robust kind of high rule that has side quests that's big and expansive.
I don't think it's going to be Bethesda big.
I don't think it's going to be witcher big.
I don't think it's going to be that dense because that's not what Zelda is.
Like at that point, what do you have there?
Then what do you really have a Zelda game?
You can just have to have your dungeons and all this kind of shit.
So got to have a mailman running around
Got out of the mailman
You gotta have your masks and all this and all this and whatnot
So I'm super excited
I think it's going to be great
And I'm excited to see it
I don't know that it's going to be the second coming
I'd be shocked if it was anything but great though
They've been working on it
They took it out for a while I think to retool it
I think the retooling was mostly enough to do with NX
But they might have been able to tweak the game in the meantime
And
What I'm most interested to see with this is like
When is it coming
And you know
We're all tired of waiting for it
So let's like get going on
Yeah, I definitely don't think it's going to be the second coming in the sense of it being one of those games where everyone plays just like I've never experienced anything like this
But I really do hope that it's it's a step up for Zelda and it's not just another Zelda because we've gotten to that point where we've been getting those and that's definitely not a bad thing another Zelda's still great
But I feel like this this does have a lot to to prove to Nintendo fans especially now when you know we're about to transition over the NX and this is that transition game we all they've already said it's coming to both so
that's important.
I'm excited.
I mean,
that's definitely,
I mean,
believe it or not,
one of my most
anticipated games
just to see,
not necessarily to play.
It will be if it's great,
but I want to just see it.
Like,
just show it already,
you know,
um,
they haven't,
I mean,
in my opinion,
I know that's not a popular opinion,
but they have not had a great Zelda game
in many years now.
It's time to,
it's since Win Wakeer,
that was the last one in my mind
where I'm like,
this is a fucking fundamentally
fantastic 10.0.
Great fucking game.
Ever since that,
I've just been disappointed
with everything they've done.
And it's like the closest they've gotten to
really seeing a great game was a rehash of a link
of a link to the past. I was like, great guys.
So let's get down to fucking fundamentals
and release this Zelda game and show us what you got.
They have chops. We know they do.
It's too bad it's not going to be on PS4 and Xbox one.
Or will it? NX app.
I know you're out there.
Nintendo's also going to have a Q&A for Pokemon Go,
which I'm really excited about. You're going to be asking all the questions.
Oh, yeah. Is there a Charzard in the game?
Yes.
Take out your note.
Yeah.
Monster 100 generations.
Dragon Quest 7 for one
Call it. Yeah, buddy.
And Tokyo Mirage Sessions, hashtag
FE. So I guess there's
like someone out there excited about that.
So then moving on,
because Nintendo doesn't have much, we're going to bulk in
all the rest of the third parties that don't have
their own conferences. And you're starting with the big one.
Activision.
What happens with them? Obviously,
Decentrele of Infinite Warfare.
Yeah, I mean, that's there. That'll be at Sony's conference.
So that's not that fun to talk about.
I think also at Sony's conference is DestinyDLC.
Yeah.
I don't think Destiny 2 is going to be there at all.
You do?
I do.
I think Destiny DLC and Destiny 2 teaser.
I think what they do is Destiny DLC, focus everyone on Destiny.
Get back into Destiny.
Destiny 2 will have its own event later this year, October, November, maybe even December.
Maybe it's a PSX, something like that.
And you announce it there.
I don't think you want to fuck around with getting people confused.
and then because then if you show Destiny 2
then it's like well all this new
and great shit we're doing Destiny 2 but you still play
the old shitty Destiny and here's the DLC
That's why you just do a teaser trailer and you just expose
That it's Ghost First Ghost
Dink over as Nolan
They come right at each other
See I think it makes sense
And to release the teaser for the new one to get people excited
But then also be like
And to build you up
To give you something to do until then
There's this because that way it does feel like
You're not holding off waiting for the announcement of two
It's like okay we know it's coming
Yeah like this and then you can
can kind of treat the expansion of Destiny 1 is kind of a prequel gearing up for it, both story-wise
and gameplay-wise.
Sure.
That would be fun for Destiny players.
Anything else from Activision?
At a conference or on the show floor, on the show floor, they got to show this fucking
Ghostbusters game.
Let me play this piece of shit.
I want to see what this thing's all about.
Don't forget to switch your weapons.
And then 2K.
There's a whole bunch of potential.
Mafia.
You imagine be its big coming out parties.
forward to Mafia 3.
We already got a release date for that October 7th.
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Really, really excited.
You figure, uh, SIF 6, right?
They'll be there.
At the PC press conference.
Yeah.
Hey, guys.
Yep.
Bioshock trilogy will finally be announced.
Yeah, I think so.
I don't know where or how you do that without announcing to do Bioshock, which is in
development.
So I don't know.
Do you announce it at probably Microsoft's conference?
Although I don't, I don't know.
I can't, I was just thinking about that.
Actually, I said, I'm like, I can't wait.
Oh, I can't wait to play.
I fucking love Bioshock.
I can't wait.
And then that's when I'll go back to Bioshock too,
and I'll finally go back to Infinite and beat it.
But Bioshock 3 is in development and as sure as shit.
And I don't know how far along it is.
But I don't know that you announce that game.
I don't know that you announce that trilogy too early.
I actually think they're sitting on it to wait until the game's announced
and then maybe having a release date.
And then you announce it closer.
It's what's Sony strategy for five years with their re-releases.
So that's why the Temeco collection, for instance,
was such a red herring of when the last Guardian was supposed
to come out.
So, we'll see.
I don't know that they announced it there.
So then big questions.
Borderlands 3 teaser.
No.
No. Way too early.
They just released the game.
Red Dad 3.
You wish, but that's not Rockstar style.
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, it doesn't seem like something they would do.
They'll announce it when they're ready.
Rockstar makes their own events.
That's the thing.
So they're always, it seems, down on E3.
So yeah, I wish, wish, wish, wish, wish.
That would be awesome.
I think you're going to get a Red Dead reveal,
a Red Dead 3 reveal within
a few months at most of the game coming out.
That's the one thing that I think.
I think they might even announce it
when it enter certification or something like that.
Like what, like why?
Like they just saw what happened with fallout.
And that was a five month lead up.
And you can even do it quicker than that.
If they can keep their secrets
and all that kind of stuff, they have.
They're generally really good about it.
Then I mean, a map leaked and all this kind of stuff.
But if you can just shut up about it
and announce in August released in October.
That'd be awesome.
Why not?
They don't need it.
They don't need a lead-in.
That game doesn't need a lead-in.
I agree. I just don't think it's on the level of GTA, where GTA could have been like,
GTA you could do that. You can fucking announce that it's coming out tomorrow and that thing would sell a gillian units.
You need a little bit of lead, I think, for Red Dead. I think you need to remind people what it is and get it back into the consciousness because that is definitely a game that I fucking love Red Dead.
And I didn't play Red Dead, but I know everyone talks about Red Dead. So the next Red Dead, I'm going to be all over.
And I think that, I think it's going to be called Red Dead Revolution. That's my guess.
Is it involved the Mexican Revolution?
Maybe.
Square.
NX.
Deus X, Mankind divided.
DeaSX.
I'm going to talk about.
I'm assuming they'll announce the next Go game, which will part of the DeuSX Go.
Okay.
Recently, we saw a bunch of domains.
There was just Cos Go.
Life is Strange Go.
Life is Strange Go would be dope.
Rewon Time, Max.
Because there's a DeuSex universe event on June 8.
Yeah, then that makes sense.
I think Tumrino definitive is not reviewed.
but mentioned in some way at PS4's
Oh, rise of?
Yeah, gotcha.
There'd be that.
Yeah, what are you expecting out of your, I mean,
Final Fantasy is the last chance to go there.
Final Fantasy 15, Kingdom Hearts 3,
and Fall Fantasy 7 remake.
Oh, right.
I think a lot of those go into the PlayStation
If they do remake then for sure.
My stuff there for all the predictions.
But yeah, I think that 15 obviously gets the
final push treatment.
Kingdom Hearts, I mean,
Kingdom Hearts is always the weird, interesting one.
Goofy told me it was a man in the last year.
I'm always like,
I'm always like they're not going to show anything.
I want them to show something, but they're not going to.
But they always do.
They always show something.
So I think that they continue that tradition at E3
and do show a new trailer.
Will it be the thing finally announcing the Star Wars or Marvel stuff?
I don't know.
I don't think this is necessarily the right time for that.
But I think that it's smart for Square to not give 15 time to shine.
I think it's really kind of like,
hit with everything and just keep pushing
because you've got to fucking make square
still sound like a good thing.
Yeah.
Like the Japanese square,
not just the,
sure square,
which has been killing it recently.
The Western Square is fine.
I think,
because they're firing on all cylinders.
I disagree though.
I think you let Final Fantasy 15 come out.
I think you even like left Final Fantasy 15's DLC come out
and like let that mature.
You have to remember that there's going to be
Dragon Quest 11 at some point too
and that's going to be a big deal for them.
So,
and I wouldn't be surprised if you saw Dragon Quest 11
before you saw Kingdom Hearts 3.
I just think,
I just still believe Kingdom Hearts 3 is really far away.
I just don't,
I just don't believe that that game's any sooner than 2018.
And so I just don't know that you...
I just don't know that you talk about it before 2017, maybe, again.
And I think remake, you're not going to see either.
I think remake...
I think that they might have realized that they might have fucked up with that all of it.
And they should have messaged it better,
and I think they should disappear for a while,
because I don't think you're going to see that one anytime soon either.
The Final Fantasy 15 is any indication.
And since they insist on using a lot of the same fucking directors and producers
on all their games, which is dumb.
And, you know, that they're producer doesn't even know he's producing the game
until he reads it on the internet.
So, you know,
that's the kind of communication going on in Square annex.
We'll wait for the predictions for me to give my thoughts on that.
I'm getting texts.
All right,
Capcom.
I'm sure we'll see Umbrella Corpse in some fashion part.
I just playable on the show floor.
No one really talks about it.
But this is the announcement of the reboot of Resident Evil, you think, right?
Well, so Street Fighter 5, D.L.C., I'm sure we'll talk about.
And then the rest of its questions.
The questions I have are Resident Evil?
Yes.
Yes.
I think that's at Microsoft conference.
Oh, Microsoft's?
Yeah.
Ooh, that's good.
That's a solid-ass call.
Then the thing is, Fallen Fantasy 7, or not Final Fantasy.
Reson Evil 7 or Resident Evil.
Reson Evil.
I think it'll be Resident Evil.
I think it'll be so much.
You know, like, I don't think it'll be seven, though.
See, I think they won't have the colon.
I think it'll just be Resident Evil because they're trying to stress that this is a new beginning,
that this is a new thing.
And if you put a colon, code Veronica on it, I think people are going to be like,
at least in some fashion, be like, ah, it's not a real Resident Evil game.
It's not the real thing I've been waiting for.
Also, it'd be interesting to see if it is Microsoft.
I want to put it past it being a PlayStation thing,
going back to their roots.
They're working with Capcom very intimate on Street Fighter.
Exactly.
We've been out here.
When people think of Resident Evil, they think of it on the PlayStation.
Like, here we are.
We thought it made sense to come back to PlayStation or to show you Resident Evil.
Man, that'd be awesome.
God, I'm getting tingles.
Adam.
Adam does cartwheels in the background.
Yeah.
Classic Adam.
Do we see Remake 2?
Maybe.
I don't know that's something you show at E3.
I mean, they're working on.
on it. They have this big
salvo going on with
the racing 4, 5, and 6
on next year, car and chain consoles.
The thing with Resident Evil is wherever it is, it's coming
out this year. That's the one thing I'm
confident about. Really? Yeah.
Yeah. That's exciting.
It's been a long time since Resident Evil 6 came out.
And then people don't appreciate that.
I think that game's been in development for
three years, and I think it's ready to go.
Devil May Cry and Mega Man.
Devil May Cry, no.
So they tried with Delmey Cry. I mean, Nige's
theory tried to do their thing with it. I don't think anyone really cared.
Mega Man, I firmly believe it is in development.
I'm insane forever. It's the guys from Dead Rising.
I think it's entirely possible. I think that might be shown.
Vancouver, right?
Yeah, I think. So they have this cartoon coming on in 2017. I just don't think you launch
that cartoon. I think the cartoon is definitely the canary and the coal mine.
That's something else is going on. Why else would you do that cartoon? There's just no reason
to out of the blues launch a Mega Man cartoon? Yeah, the one thing that gets me
concerned about that is that the cartoon looks like fucking garbage.
Oh, come on that redesign. It looks like I made that.
that version of Megaman. Literally, I drew that
Mega Man. I don't think, no. I don't think you would have
shown me what your Mega Man looks like.
Oh, God.
That's a stick figure, man.
With a can on a scene. It's pretty mega though.
Ah. I like it. Pretty close.
Pew, pew.
Does he have an erection
and some kind of deformity
coming out of his back? Pretty much.
Yeah, but I don't know that Mega, Mega Man isn't
Mega Man doesn't have
power anymore, you know? Like, I don't know that
that's something you show at E3.
But I do think a Mega Man game is a development.
I think a 3D proper AAA Mega Man game is in development.
And they better not fuck it up.
That's all I'm going to say.
They totally fucking drop the ball so many times Mega Man.
It's a disgrace.
Don't fucking across.
Kekoff should be embarrassed.
WB.
Yeah, we finally got there.
Let me tell you what's going to happen.
They are going to talk about what happens next with Lego dimensions and I can't
fucking wait.
Number one, I believe all the rumors and leaked images you've seen.
Supergirl and Green Arrow are real.
And they will be given away there.
That is my prediction.
I believe it because I've seen it.
Because I've recently remember it was.
it was just the screenshots that leaked of them.
Like, all right.
Then video of them in the Lego Dimension World leaking.
Like, all right, well, maybe they're getting ready.
Then they leaked in the little packaging.
So it's like, okay, I believe they're going to be given away a swag there, which is interesting.
Which I didn't know these toys life games did.
But apparently every time you go to a Skylander's appointment, they give you a Skylander.
So it makes sense.
So I'm stoked to get these toys.
Let me tell you what.
And fucking see them and play with them.
They'll come out later.
I imagine whatever the next wave of it is.
But you imagine with that then, you're going to come out and you're going to say,
time for year two of Lego dimension.
it's more level packs.
We're dialing back the team packs.
I don't think there'll be a new disc-based game this year.
I think it'll be the next wave-based.
And I think you'll get more DC characters, obviously.
I think you finally get Harry Potter characters.
If they are fucking crazy and things have worked out,
we get Star Wars characters.
Maybe you get Marvel characters.
I think that it's an interesting thing for them
because they're still promoting Lego Star Wars Force Awakens, right?
That's still something that's happening right now.
That'll be there.
They'll show that.
But it doesn't know who cares?
And so then how do you,
You don't want to mix the message that we have Star Wars as well.
But Harry Potter, for sure.
These DC people, for sure.
The problem is nobody cares about the...
Other than me and a handful of people.
I don't know where...
I think, is that just a press release, I guess, announced that's announced, all this stuff?
Lame.
That makes sense.
Which more people care.
I don't know.
The end of my W.E thing was Lego stuff, question mark.
That's where I lead off.
Yeah.
I'm so excited.
Injustice, too.
Yes, 1,000%.
That's one of my predictions to save it.
Will that be...
Okay.
We'll save that, man.
Suicide Squad.
question mark something of that ilk
no i mean that would
that's what people when we did a recently we talked about
Batman games right on one of the shows and what
what's next for rock study so many people chimed in saying suicide squad would be
awesome that'd be a good fit for them and it would be a cool fit for them
because you have a bunch of heroes that are
depowered you know they're not superman not breaking the world so you could
have different things run on i don't think that's what's going to happen
and i also think that
wb kind of gets it right now
especially after seeing the success of Batman because they were a member
trying to fucking get a dark night game together for the dark night movie then it was garbage they
scrapped it and they just let batman arkham do its thing and they saw that explode so there's no
reason to force a suicide squad thing to try to make the movie or be in that realm so you have time to wait
hopefully that movie is a success you get to capitalize off of it later on and i don't think they're
looking for the quick cash in i you do figure that they'll have the they're going to show on the show
floor for sure the batman arkham collection that leaves the door open of is rock steady ready
are they up for something
do they want to tease something
is it their new game on any of these things
too soon
Shadow Mordor 2
yes although I don't
that game's definitely coming
and I think it's sooner than you might think but I don't know again
where it fits
I mean Showermore was big yeah it's anywhere to the Microsoft
Conference I think
we'll sure
Sega always weird
they always have the things going on
somebody's going to be up when you're done
they've always done all the remasters they got the
crazy taxi and the Sonic Adventures and all that stuff
Shenmu, skies of Arcadia,
maybe a new Sonic,
any of that stuff you think will be shown?
Aren't there just rumors of a Shemu collection or whatever?
Yeah, there was a Shemu collection, but they're not going to show that anywhere.
Shemu 3 is obviously in development,
Sony's helping with them, but...
No, I just don't think so.
So I can go away for a while, that'll be fine with me.
Bandai Napko.
There's been rumors of a sole caliber of reboot.
Yeah, I don't know.
Tekken 7, it'll be there.
I'm pretty sure.
They'll confirm consoles, all that stuff, really state.
CD Project Red said
No Cyberpunk 2077
Yeah
Witcher 3DLC
Which 3 anything anything
No I think you got your last piece
Of Witcher 3DLC just now right
You would assume
Yeah blood and wine
Was their big one
So I think that they're gonna go dark
For a while now
Double fine
I'm assuming we're not gonna get
Psychonauts 2 stuff
I think it's a little too early for that
That's a PSX code
We will get some VR talk
For the psychonauts game
Anything else
Not that I'm gonna go
Maybe a new game
But that's not an E3 thing
And then Epic has
Fortnite, Paragon, and Unreal Tournament.
Fortnite.
Whatever happened.
Yeah, whatever it did have.
That never came out? No.
Wasn't that, that was like four years ago?
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Fortnite's dead, but I have not kept abreast the situation.
I'm sure there's an article out there somewhere in our Epic says, Fortnite not dead.
And then other games, lawbreakers.
Yeah.
Yeah, lawbreakers will be there at the PC conference.
Do you think it's going to be a big deal?
Yes.
Although, I don't, I mean, I don't care.
But I mean, I love Goof-B, but it's a PC game.
not gonna, but I think it will be a big game.
And I think the fact that they've moved away from the free-to-play model is a big deal for that game as well.
Ukulele.
Oh, yes.
No, I don't think you'll see that anywhere.
That goes against the whole zeit-ice of what they're doing.
Sure.
Spirit of that game is its independence.
Half-life three.
No, no way.
It's the PC conference.
Nintendo just announces like, total like, we lied, half-life three playable.
Marvel games.
Do you think we'll see Marvel announcements?
No. I mean, I'd love to know what
Telltale's working on for because they announced that Marvel partnership forever,
but I don't think that's, I mean, I think your closest thing would be that they have the Lego
tie and ready to go. I think that would be what would make sense.
Because look at how like Telltale announced Batman, right? Like they did it at the VGA or
the game awards in just a trailer. And that's how you would do it. So maybe that is around
that, but probably not. Okay. And then, but now, well, we'll wait for that.
PlayStation thing, that's when things get real interesting.
And then the last thing is, do you think that we'll see,
and this is a broad question that goes even across the conferences,
do you think we'll see another Kickstarter-style project like we saw with Shenmo?
No, not at there, maybe a PSX.
That's not a thing you would do at E-3.
And it's also the thing I think that did last year.
With what?
Shenmo.
Wasn't Shemmo with PSX?
I thought it's P-SX?
No.
Was it?
Shemmo's E-3.
Okay.
Year of Dreams, Bros.
No, I remember that.
Oh, right, because that's when a bossman and all of them from games,
They just lost their mind and jumped on the chairs right and right now.
It all runs together.
That's still not a thing you do it either.
That wasn't a very popular move.
A little common.
A little compliment.
I think they learn.
I think you do that once kind of thing.
I don't think they go back to the well.
It was a dumb thing to do.
Cool.
So now, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for Greg, take it away.
Tots, tots, tots.
That's right, everybody.
It's time for the first ever.
P.S. I love you. XOXO.
crossover with the kind of funny games.
Hi, Tim.
Hi.
Thanks for coming to join us.
You're welcome.
Tim, are you aware of what we do every E3, Colin and I?
I've heard a bit, you know, especially from Colin.
What we like to do, yes, what we like to do is we like to predict what will happen at the PlayStation Press Conference.
We make five predictions.
Each one of us will make five predictions.
Each prediction needs to be different.
So we can't both say they're going to cancel the PlayStation 4.
That's why we asked you to make backup predictions just in case you get there.
Now, of course, there's five predictions.
Colin Moriarty will find a way to break his into 7th.
17 parts.
That way he can eke out tens of points to beat you
and then make a big deal about it
but then tell you you have the ego.
That's how he'll do this.
Gotcha.
That's how this happens every year.
So Tim.
Yes.
Are you prepared?
Oh my God, yes.
Would you like to lead off?
I would like to lead off.
I'm going to lead off with Final Fantasy 15.
I think it will be at the Sony conference.
I think that they will announce a PS4 bundle.
Okay.
With Final Fantasy 15 and the kicker to all of this.
Final Fantasy 7 demo with Final Fantasy 15.
Remake demo.
Exclusive to PS4.
Remake demo.
Or is exclusive to PlayStation?
No, no, no, not exclusive.
Not exclusive.
That day is dead.
The demo will be with everything.
Yeah.
But the bundle is the cool exclusive fancy thing.
But I think the big news is Final Fantasy 7 remake demo will be with 15.
Are you going to buy the bundle?
No.
I have a PS4.
I know, but you're a big fan.
I don't know.
Just check that.
I will buy the game.
Oh, good.
I'm glad.
Thank you for doing it.
that. And I will play the remake demo first.
Colin, what's
your first PlayStation prediction
for E3 2016?
Where do I want to begin?
Horizon will be shown. It will
be delayed. They'll announce a game
or they'll announce a release date of February
2017, so a specific date will be
announced for February. Horizon
will come out.
They'll apologize. It'll be a new trailer,
new gameplay. Herman or Angie will come on stage.
Herman, come on, my boy. And be like, you know, we're
Sorry, we need a little bit more time.
But to get you guys excited here, the systems and mechanics of the game, they show it.
It's probably going to be the biggest game that they show there.
But I don't think it comes out this year.
I think they dated for February 2017.
Nice try, Colin.
That was one of my backups.
You don't get to steal this for me.
I'm swinging for the fences right away, ladies and gentlemen.
The conference ends with a naughty dog teaser trailer.
It's the Last of Us brand.
Ashley Johnson's Ellie is not present.
Those are my three parts to get some fucking points out of this thing.
Because I think they're going to do it.
You're a crazy person.
Dude, uncharted 3, and then a month later
we had the Last of Us teaser trailer.
That's all I'm saying.
It's not crazy.
It's uncharted 4, you've had three months now,
two months now to make a fucking teaser trailer.
It's not that hard.
I had that as well.
Last of Us teaser trailer.
But see, I got, I danced around there,
so I get more points.
Because if it's not a Last of Us teaser trailer,
I said, Nottie Dog teaser trailer.
Conference ends with it too.
See, I did that.
You'll learn.
You pepper these in there.
You get these little things.
Gotcha.
So I get something out of it.
I had another slash,
Mitchell Morgan.
All right.
Okay, good.
Yeah.
you got to say some shit.
Don't get me wrong.
I know it's wishful thinking on a lot of fronts,
but I do think that they seem to have this cadence now.
Momentum, man.
You got to keep it going.
And I think that is also a fucking megaton way to end that.
I think,
because I think Sony's going to have a very, very solid,
concrete thing of like, here's this game,
and here's this one is coming,
here's this game,
and it got delayed,
but it's still coming.
Here's this game.
And I think you need something
that's looking far forward.
Because I think that's what it is.
I don't think it's going to be,
we're showing the last of us to teaser trailer or whatever
to then lead you into thinking it's,
out next year.
Yeah.
No way.
Tim, what's your second prediction?
I'm just going to jump around here.
You know what?
Fuck it.
I'm going in order how I had it.
The Neo will be shown.
It will be officially called the PS4K.
Okay.
$3.99 price tag, November 2016 release,
with a PS4 price drop down to $300.
Now here's the thing.
I'm out in an extra little ad.
I was talking about the fucking year of dreams we're getting the tease of your dreams
Sony's trying to make motherfuckers happy here this is doubtful but I don't give a fuck I want it to happen
Some type of trade in service
Ah yeah, this is wishful thinking totally I know because you're the king of wishful thinking
But Sony's been been trying to make the people happy
Yeah so I I think that it you know from a business perspective I can't wrap my head around how this would happen
Especially because they aren't game stop sure you know doing this type of stuff but they are also the
company that made the video about how to play
your old game. Yeah. Talking shit
to Microsoft. So I do think that they
understand the feedback they've gotten
from all of this. And I wouldn't be surprised
if even if this, like the trading
thing could just be some form
of discount on the new one if you have an old one
or some something. But it's
some way to appease people
that already have a PlayStation 4 and
either like enticing them
to upgrade or letting them know that they're being
thought about. I'm of two minds
on it. On the one hand, they've
had time to see this reaction, see how mad people got, get in, try to, they definitely have to
figure out all of their phrasing, marketing, how they're going to tell you that this is a good
thing, but not something you desperately need. The other hand, of course, is that I am part of the
crew that was like convinced that, oh, they're launching the PSP go. They'll have some kind of
system for me to get my UMDs onto this device. I'll go into a game stop and put it in a thing and get
a little, no, fucking you got none of that shit. All right, well, I agree with you on the, on the
PS4.5 in terms of the price.
I will say that...
I will say, and this is not part of my
prediction that it's going to come out alongside VR.
October is what I said.
But I will say they'll also
announce three different things about
hardware. There'll be a PS4
Slim model announced
and we'll come out the summer and will cost $249.99.
Real quick. I'm sorry. Is this one here?
Predictions? Okay, prediction.
249? Yeah.
And they'll drop PS3
and Vita both to $99.99 each.
I think they'll announce all of those
things. So though, I'm
right, run me through your, the prediction.
So the prediction proper is,
PS4 Slim, not the PS4K,
24999, out this summer.
PSVita $99,
PS3-99.
Okay, gotcha.
Man.
And for the record, you agree with the Tim's
$3.99 price point.
You just left it off.
Yep.
Gotcha. Okay, cool.
My Neo prediction was,
it's coming out October, $399.
It's awesome.
No one's mad anymore.
That's so funny.
My second prediction.
October makes a lot more.
sense. I'm sticking with my November just for the sake of this.
You guys won me over on the Octope.
Number two for me.
Hadeo Kojima is in the building.
He takes the stage. He gives more details
on his game with concept art behind him.
Maybe there's a video teaser.
Maybe, but I don't believe him.
I had that down as well. I had Kojima on stage.
Are you fuck now?
I'm glad you believe in me. Thank you.
I guarantee he does something there.
He has to.
You can't have the one and only Hideoo Kijima and not have him
come out on station do stuff.
Yeah.
I think that's a good way to end it too.
Just haven't come out and, you know,
it's just a team rallying thing.
His name is one of the few names
that has that power.
I mean, if you, so here's,
all right, so we're setting up a conference.
Now we're doing the fun thing
where I get to build a fake conference.
If using what you're talking about
and what I'm talking about,
where at best a teaser trailer,
probably concept art,
and you lead off with it.
Fucking crazy ass montage,
you know, PlayStation,
the best place to play a great,
and this way is darkness.
And then just over thing.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Hodeo Kijia.
That place goes nuts.
And he comes out and he gives his translated speech about how, why he came to PlayStation,
what he's hoping to accomplish.
Here's how my game, you know, concept art and da-da-da-da-da-da.
The fucking stick figures.
Here's my redesigned Mega-Man.
You're not making Mega Man, Kojia, son.
I'll do whatever the fuck I want.
I'm bulletproof.
I'm not to be trifled with it.
All right, so we're on three now.
Yeah, number three.
Tim, Timmy, Timmy, Tim.
Oh, Destiny 2, teaser at Sony's conference.
Okay.
And you're saying, from what you're talking about earlier,
you're tacking that on,
what we're talking about earlier on the gamescast.
Available, what, Patreon.com, such kind of funny games.
You're talking about tacking that on.
So you think, I believe, if,
I don't know if they're going to Destiny to you,
but I do think it makes sense to be like,
here's the next giant piece of Destiny DLC.
Yeah.
And oh, one more thing kind of thing.
And they just do it as,
it's all this thing.
Yep.
Yep.
I think it'll be just a teaser,
but I do think it'll be mentioned at the Sony conference.
Okay.
Mr. Moriardi.
God of War IV will be revealed.
will not be called God of War for
it will be called God of War colon something
it will be Norse related
Sony Santa Monica creating it
2017 release window
and it's going to be
the showcase game for Neo
so you think they
they introduce Neo
explain to you what it is
and like let's look at a game on Neo
and it's God War
we'll get into that
oh my apologies I'm sorry I'm sorry
didn't realize your
three was bleeding into the four
it may may not
number three
Ed Boone gives us an injustice two demo.
PlayStation gets some exclusive character.
For the hell of it, I'll say Guy Gardner.
Guy Gardner. Who doesn't love Guy Gardner?
Who the fucking Guy Gardner? He was a hothead though, man.
Ooh, you'd like him, Colin. You'd like him. He was fiery.
Got punched out by Batman once.
Oh.
It was a big moment because that Justice League sucked.
Guy Gardner kind of sucks, but he's one of those guys that sucks, so we all kind of like him.
You know what I mean? He's bad. He's so bad. He's so bad. He's good.
One time he turned into a guy, called himself the warrior.
This is after he gave up the Green Lantern Ring.
He would, like, morph into this really muscular.
with tattoos. Really dumb. Really dumb.
Next prediction. Tim.
My boy.
Crashie B.
He's coming out. Crash Bandicoot
will be announced.
Crash. Here's my thing. Something crash
related. And I'm not going to keep it that broad.
We're either getting Crash Bandicoot PS4 or some form of crash collection.
Okay.
I'm hoping for Crash.
They know. People know. They do know.
Is it too early?
Yeah.
Is there a ridiculous amount of things saying it's not happening?
Yeah.
Is there way too many goddamn rumors that make it look like it is happening?
Yeah.
And I'm standing with them.
In a perfect dream?
This is in prediction.
This is dream time, not prediction time.
Dude comes out in the costume.
With a megaphone?
Yeah.
What if Sean Layton's in the costume in the megaphone?
Hell of shit.
You got Sony, if you're watching and you need a crash bandicoot.
Jesus Christ, can you imagine?
Oh, can you imagine?
That'd be the best of my life.
What if we just got you?
suit in the megaphone and then just like we have to get him
backstage and then you just come out
shoe hayes out there talking about VR
and you just come out
I'm not going to leave you hanging dead don't ride
announced Sony Ben's new game
fall 2016
PS4 exclusive ready to go
looks great
Detroit become human
we get a huge spot at the conference
then it's revealed that it's coming this fall
wow
quantum that quick huh
2012 they showed the PS3 tech demo
2013. They said they were in pre-production. They revealed it in 2015. Like, it's been cooking.
It's not, I mean, that'll be pretty cool. And that's the thing is like, and they've been
releasing their old games on PS4. You get one ready. Okay. I like where you're heads out.
I think there's something there. I think there's something there. And that is definitely me hoping.
But I feel like that is the kind of game that it's not like it's going to get a million TV
commercials. You don't need to invest all the stuff. For the people who care, they're going to totally
get that. And every day, three, I think, is going to care. That'd be exciting. That'd be fucking
awesome. So is it my last one? Yeah. Number five. Okay.
How do we play this then?
If we have more predictions.
We'll go through them.
We can go through.
Okay.
So this is my last final one that counts towards the game.
Ooh, all right.
All right.
I got an easy one, but I'm going to go for the more points one if this shit happens.
Pursona 5.
Release date announced for America.
Day and date with Japan, September 15th.
Fuck you, Falun Fantasy 15.
I think you're out.
The war is all.
I think you're right.
I mean, I don't know that it's going to be there, but I do think the game's coming out in September.
Same day.
In the West.
Yeah.
God damn, I hope so.
I think a lot of the delay
has to do with the localization.
The only thing that I'm feeling if you about
is I don't know if Sony will have them do that
and Final Fantasy 15 do the console.
Ah, good point, good point.
But whatever, double or nothing.
Last one that counts.
I think that all, so this is going to be a vague one.
I don't know if you're going to allow it,
but we're going to try it anyway.
All first party games, they're going to come out
in the beginning and they're going to announce the NIA, right?
4K, whatever.
All games
that were announced
for first party will be shown running on Neo.
This will cause massive controversy
about what games are shown running
how and how the games look on old PS4s.
And Sony is going to have their hands full in a PR
in a PR respect.
Now, is this going to be traditional
PlayStation fuck up at a press conference where they don't
announce that? They don't say that everything is running
on a Neo and afterwards. I think it might say
everything you see today will be running on Neo,
but they're never going to show the way the games look on the old consoles.
And that's going to cause a lot of problems
for them. That's my prediction there.
So like Horizon God Award, Dead Don't Ride, Detroit, all these games, Crash Bandicoot.
So that's my prediction is that they show everything running on the new hardware, not on the old hardware, and this causes some sort of controversy because we do not know how the games are going to look for the other consoles.
And this is where things get started to get a little muddy for them.
That's my final prediction.
All right.
My final prediction, the word Vita gets said no more than three times.
and I'm including anybody who comes out
and it's like in its crossplay on PlayStation 4, 3 and Vita.
That's one.
That counts as one.
I like it.
That is all they're going to fucking say.
Said, the word said.
I don't know why it's some montage behind them.
Some other dumb thing.
They showed the Vita.
No.
Said.
I like that.
A human being says Vita.
That's good.
No more than three times.
That's excellent.
So what did you have leftover?
Leftover I had Las Guardian gameplay demo, obviously.
But I think release date at the end of it.
Mine one that is, it's a crazy pie in the sky, but I've been saying it so much.
Last Guardian is out now on PSN.
They finish the demo and they're like, and it's available tonight on PlayStation Network and the place goes crazy.
I think that's suicide for them.
I do too.
I know.
And then it's available in the next week or whatever, two weeks in stores.
I agree that it's fucked up, but I also think it could be an awesome move.
And then my last one was either Last of Us 2 teaser or Uncharted for single player DLC, which would be Sam.
You play a Sam.
Yeah, yeah. Interesting, interesting. That'd be cool.
I don't think it'll be both, though.
Sure. No, I don't think so either.
Call.
I predicted one, I only had two leftovers.
One was, because there was a few that people had used of mine,
or the ones that I came up with two.
One was that multiple first-party games will be showing PSVR support.
I was thinking games like Detroit and got a war.
So you mean like full-on immersion?
Yeah. Okay.
And the one that I wanted to use, but I didn't,
was that I think the conference will end with BloodBorn 2.
revealed and teased
so like just a logo
they'll come out and say like from software
in Japan studio collaborating on it we'll have more information in the future
on it. That's a good one.
The one that almost made it
but didn't make it but I want to make it
but then do I just want to make it because I want to make it
is that the Spider-Man game gets a teaser
trailer. It is PlayStation exclusive.
That rumor's been kicked around forever and ever and ever
that sucker is working on it. I feel good about it.
I feel good about Spider-Man.
The thing is Marvel needs to have some
big game and I feel like that
There's been so many rumors about this?
Exactly. So many Spider-Man rumors.
This is the one that seems to make sense
that they've been working on.
And again, I want it to be sucker lunch.
And I want it.
And just like when I looked at the Gaff thread that day
and I saw the infamous collection
with a demo for it, it was like,
Jesus Christ, please be true.
Jesus Christ, please be true.
All right, all right, cool.
So now twisting it back towards the games cast,
what else you want to talk about?
I'm trying to see what else we got
that Sony could talk about.
Horizon delay, I agree.
I think that'll occur.
No man's sky.
What do they do?
If they're smart, nothing.
It's in the teaser sizzle reel.
Like, let's not kick the Hornets Nest, get the internet riled up again.
Let's not for like the umpteenth E3 show you this game and make you try to understand what it is.
It's coming.
You know it's coming.
There was an insert un uncharted.
It's been all over the place.
It'll be there.
Shenmu.
Any mention at all?
No.
I can see I mentioned somewhere, but I don't think it's like it's prime time placement or anything.
Nino Cooney 2.
I wish, but no.
Persona 5, I mentioned it in my thing.
I think it's there.
Yeah, I do.
And I do agree with you.
I think it's coming out in September.
So in terms of that, like with the JRP kind of battle going on, do you think Fawnazzi?
Is that their event?
No.
Not at all.
No.
Then what do you think they do show up?
What, square?
Yeah.
Nothing.
I think that like you know they
I think persona is going to be the main
JRPG as this show I think it's time
for Atlas to take the stage and
get that kind of stuff I think that there I think
I like the idea of a PS4 bundle for
Final Fantasy 15 I just don't know that that's in the cards
I think we've seen enough there's bad
mojo with Final Fantasy 15 at Sony conferences
let's just say that I think it's time you
move on and
Square just as weird
with these conferences and stuff like that I think
I would love to see Alice have their
spotlight with persona and I don't think you do both
So you see I don't know I mean I feel like they killed it a couple years ago at Sony's conference when they gave the the trailer that announced it was Final Fantasy 15 and the Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer
Yeah but Kingdom Hearts 3 is nowhere to be found you know like like this is what I'm talking about it the Final Fantasy 7 thing where they were like we're working on final fantasy 7
And then like later on the like this motherfucker doesn't even always producing it and yeah it's three it's three fucking parts and we're never gonna see it's three games finally too big to be one game even though it was one game in 1997
I feel good I feel good about the Falun fantasy 7 thing because we saw
We thought last year 83 when it was first announced
and there was that whole trailer or whatever and then we saw it
at PSX and that was the thing to me where I'm like
What the fuck? I didn't think we were going to see this thing
For ever. I don't think you're gonna see it forever. I think that a lot of that
team is all hands on deck for Final Fans 15. I think anyone's even working on it.
That's my prediction is like I literally don't think anyone's even fucking working on that game.
I refuse to believe it.
Infamous collection has been thrown around a bit. No.
That is wishful thinking. That was that Reddit thing
that was too good to be true. That was the one that made me cry in the bathroom.
That'd be great, but
And then yeah, VR.
How much do you think is given to VR?
That was almost one of my...
I think there's a lot of time giving it.
That was one of my ones where I almost doubled back to last year's prediction of at least at, you know, minimum 20 minutes of VR talk.
But it is so hard to show.
It is a big deal.
I think you do do a giant segment on it being...
I think it's probably what, 10, 15 of you talking about it.
Here it is probably 10.
This is the unit.
Remember, here's the price.
I want to be surprised if tomorrow we're putting out more pre-orders that we're,
was such a big deal. They went so fast. We've
got another allotment coming for you to get it on the
first day. Here's where you can get that thing.
There's ways to do it, but then yeah, like we even saw
it was PSX right, the Richard Mark's demo
with the disc that failed or whatever. Like,
they want to take that chance again? I would,
I would be, one of the big things I think you'll see
is here's
PlayStation VR. Again,
these are the sum of the
90, whatever they said. How many games was it that was going to be
available by the end of the year?
Like 76 or what I don't know. Or a 120
in development or something.
I don't know.
It's just a bunch of numbers.
We want to show you a new one,
and I think it'll be a AAA game.
It'll be like a game name you know.
It'll be like not Bioshock,
but Bioshock, right?
It'll be something where it has resonance to.
Per Rapp of the rapper.
Per Rapp of the Rapper is back.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is back
and a first-person fighter you use with the move sticks.
But you can only play as...
You have to be the cat.
You could only play as Toro.
Oh my God, yes.
Yes.
Ladies and gentlemen, this has been the first ever episode, 73,
the kind of funny games cast, E3 predictions edition.
I thought this was a damn good episode.
I enjoyed it.
Told y'all motherfuckers it was worth the dollar.
And if you're watching this over on, P.S. I love you.
I already cut it out.
I already cut it off.
Dane?
