What's up and welcome back to the Kind of Funny Games cast for Monday, August 18th,
2025.
Of course, I'm your host, Tim Geddes.
I'm joined today by blessing at aioia Jr.
Good day, Tim.
Snowbike, Mike.
Hi, Tim.
And returning here all the way from Texas, it's Andy Cortez.
And I can't believe it.
I can't believe he would show his face after what you did.
I know you apologized, but the reputation of kind of funny is at stake.
Real messed up what you did.
I got a lot of people
tagging kind of funny
in a way to like, hey, get your boy over here.
Yeah, yeah, it's been an issue.
Reprimandum.
Yeah, reprimand him.
Yeah, you know, I spent a lot of time reflecting two days.
Yeah.
Do you feel like you've grown?
Can we move forward?
I feel like the resolution has grown.
Yeah.
1440P now.
1080P looks so bad on YouTube.
Like, it's crazy how it's really shocking.
And, yeah.
It's just, you know, it was a big deal for me.
Big deal.
If you don't know what we're talking about, Andy Cortez had to release an official statement
and apology for his actions.
You can check that out on his YouTube channel and learn what we're talking about.
I laughed the hardest just thinking about like the people that hate follow me that were like
just fucking all breaked up excited to see what this is going to be.
It had a surprising amount of views in like 30 minutes.
And I was like, oh, these are people like coming to hate.
Yeah.
Figure out what happened.
I was thinking it's been, it has been a while since we've had.
nick in a thumbnail having to apologize for something.
You know what I mean?
That's how you get the views.
How are you doing, though? It's good
to have you back. I'm doing great. I'm doing
great when I saw the slack
about coming some predictions.
And I'm like, man, I've just been so out of the loop.
I don't got Jack shit.
It's going to be great. It's going to be a fun episode.
It's Gamescom. We're predicting
Gamescom opening live. I'm excited.
I'm excited for games. That's a good
thing. That's a good thing. Because this is the
kind of funny games cast. We get together
to talk about the biggest reviews, previews.
and topics in video games live on YouTube, Twitch and podcast services.

For a chance to be part of this show, YouTube Super Chat in, what are your predictions for Gamescom opening night live 2025?
I want to know a little housekeeping for you.
This morning we posted our Giant Bomb Cross Kind of Funny Pizza Bandits video.
It's hilarious.
It's us playing a game.
making pizza in real life and it's utter nonsense.
You should definitely check it out.
It's very, very funny.
And also, if you want to go above and beyond and be a Patreon supporter, you can go to
Patreon.com slash Kind of Funny to get this month's latest platinum premium collector's item.
It is the Pandemusk Barrett poster each month this year.
We are celebrating Kind of Funnies 10 year anniversary with a poster themed after each one of us.
And it's Barrett's turn for this very, very cool psycho-mob themed poster.
And then this Friday.
It's psycho.
Mop.
I'm a fucking no, dude.
God.
I'm such a fucking loser.
What a dynamic artist, Anna Musk is.
So good.
So good.
Just doing every genre.
Andy, did you know the doctor who has two hearts?
I love the gift.
Crazy, man.
This Friday, kind of funny, makes their return to Mario Party with the biggest
Mario Party stream that we've ever done.
Join us as Mike and Roger torture us.
I don't know exactly what they're going to do, but Mike, do you have anything to say about this?
Yeah, Roger's gone above and beyond.
finally got the whole team to agree to play Mario Party. It's been months in the making.
It's been a lot of begging, a lot of pleading. But we have a showcase from Princess Peach.
We have a lot of fun things that will go IRL activities. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Showcase of Princess Feat. I can't like to see what this is. We are an 11-person business all
about live talk shows. You already got games daily talking all about Corey Barlog, kind of.
You know what I mean? Did he do something? Does he have a Facebook? How many hearts does this man have?
after our KFG day, I went to his friends list.
We started scrolling.
I don't know, man.
I don't know, man.
There's a lot of friends on there that are people that you know,
unless those are fake accounts, too.
I don't know.
Yeah.
After this, we have kind of funny podcasts.
And after that, it's Mike.
Streaming a little mad and Coach Mike continues.
Yeah.
Second half of the season,
will Nick Scarpino lead the wild aces to the playoffs
and possibly the Super Bowl?
We'll find out today.
Thank you to our Patreon producers.
There's Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney the Somme.
Twining today are brought to you by Factor Shady Race and Oroframes,
but we'll tell you about that later.
For now, let's begin with the topic of the show.
Tats, Sats, Sots, Sots, Dats.
Gamescom predictions.
Gamescom opening night live 2025 is upon us.
Jeff Keeley has been out here, yapping.
Yapping, yapping, yapping, yapping, yapping, saying all the things are going to be here.
A lot of stuff is confirmed already.
Call of Duty, Blackop, 7, Resident Evil Requiem.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, we're reading through the thing?
the things that they already announced?
But like, what if I took some of those things
and like massage them a little bit?
Well, then that's a lazy prediction and, you know?
But Resident Evil Requiem,
the Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Guidein for Silent Hill F,
Ghost of Yote and World of Warcraft,
midnight will all have a presence during Gamescom opening night live.
We'll also get a sneak peek at Prime Videos,
Fallout season two.
So yeah, that's all the stuff that's confirmed to be there.
So I feel tomorrow, gamescom,com, opening night live,
Tuesday, August 19th at 11 a.m.
There's a 30-minute pre-show,
hosted by Kyle Bossman starting at 1030.
They're saying announcements will be there as well.
So I feel like
more than the past couple years, I would say,
we know a lot of what's going to be here.
I feel like we kind of know this show.
And then it's like, all right, maybe a couple announcements here or there.
But we all know this.
We've done this game a million times.
We predict state of plays.
We predict Nintendo Direx.
We predict Summer Game Fest, Game Awards,
and we predict Gamescom.
And Gamescom is definitely the show
that is hardest to predict because the least actually happens.
Yeah.
You know, it's a very, very few consequential things in the past have happened at Gamescom.
We get updates on great games.
Like, that list I just read.
Like, that's impressive.
Like, there's a lot of AAA greatness there and things that we want to see more of.
But all it takes them is one year.
Yeah.
For.
That's it.
Two announcements that really sort of shake the world.
And then we go, hey, man.
Dine light.
You know what I mean?
Like, it doesn't, the change doesn't happen until it happens.
And is it going to happen tomorrow, Andy?
I don't know.
Maybe we'll get a mad in or something.
something. I don't know. So that's that is actually where I want to start this conversation, because of course, we each brought our five predictions that we're going to talk about here of what we do think we'll be here tomorrow. And again, maybe not the most exciting predictions episode based on the reality of, I don't think it's going to be the most exciting announcement show. But we got to start with the big one. I don't know who has on the list. We probably all have some variation of this. So let's just get it out of the way. Barrett, can you please bring up the link? Man, I don't remember Biomuton being that ugly. It was. It was. It was. It was.
really fucking ugly.
That was shocking, man.
This morning at
10.20 a.m., Jeff Keely himself
tweeted out, first time
with the clown emoji. See you
tomorrow for Gamescom opening night. Live.
It's a picture of him with a clown nose on
that is very reminiscent
of a meme that we've seen
invoking the night
himself, Hollow Night, Sir Hollow Night,
Mr. Sir Hollow Night,
and a clown outfit.
Is this confirmation
that we're getting a release date for Hollow Night?
We know it's playable.
We've seen the Nintendo booth being set up for demos of Hollow Night Silk Song.
We know that the Roger Ally X is going to feature this as well.
Playable at the Xbox booth on PC, they said.
Andy, is it time?
I think if Keeley's doing this thing where he's like confirming no, not going to be there.
If he's like doing, then I think that I can get it, you can fall into like,
a little boy cry wolf situation where it's like no you can't you can't do it because then how do we
ever trust any sort of future tweet from you that says hey no we're not going to get you know middle
gold six here or whatever or or half life three that's not going to be here uh i'm going to say i'm
going to say no we are not getting hollow night silk song in this sort of little presentation
Mike?
I want to say yes
because there's just so little time
before the
announcement slash release
of this Xbox Raj,
Ally X.
So where else would this be?
That would be of significance.
The team is big enough
that they could just put out a tweet
and we would all celebrate that trailer
just by itself.
But this is the showcase.
This is the moment to lead us up
to whatever this release date is
if it coincides with the Xbox handheld
or if it's before
that, but I'm putting my money on yes.
It will be there and it's finally time to show it.
Bless.
I mentioned on a KFD
within the last few weeks that I will no longer be predicting
things about Hollenight Silk Song.
However, in one of my predictions,
I do say that
in a high profile indie game
will launch on October 14th.
A high profile indie game,
two days before the ROG ally,
Xbox Ally,
launches.
I won't let you know.
From the bottom of my heart, I respect you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
That is a good, good prediction.
I think it's here.
And I'm going to say this right now.
It's a pizza bed against myself.
Holland Night Silk Song, release date,
will be announced either tomorrow or opening night live or at the next Nintendo
direct.
I think it's going to be tomorrow, though.
And if I'm wrong, that it's not one of those,
whenever it is announced somewhere else,
the next game's daily.
I will dress like a clown.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
I like it.
I love this, Tim.
That's how he elmated the predictions episode.
I'm putting that out there.
I going into this episode was not going to mention Holland.
That wasn't going to be one of my predictions.
This tweet to me makes me think it's there.
There's so much evidence of the game existing.
First off, being playable.
First off, but it's presence at Gamescom.
And the way that it was phrased about the release of the Ally X,
Not that that means shit because Xbox before said all these games are coming out in the next year.
And that didn't happen for this game.
But then marketing Hollow Knight alongside the ally.
I think that that's telling it being playable all that.
GamesCom and Hollow Night are going together.
Jeff Keely doing this, leaning in like this, to Andy's point, but on the opposite end,
I don't see him trying to get this smoke.
He's trying to get more people to like these conferences from him, specifically Gamescom,
needs a little bit of help.
I don't think that he says see you tomorrow if it's not going to be here.
Really quick.
Bander S.N just sent us this.
Apparently, Jeff posted this September 24th,
2024, Sora, and the same clown get up asking first time.
Did something with Kingdom Hearts happen like the next day or something?
September 24th,
would have been Tokyo Game Show time,
which is not a Qie thing, obviously, and nothing happened there.
Yeah, well, was he saying this on September 24th?
Yeah.
We need to get to the bottom of this.
We need to get to the bottom.
Somebody check Corey Barlog's Facebook.
Jeff Keeley friends to Corey Barlog on Facebook.
What's this Corey Barlog thing?
Check out games daily.
Yeah, you got to watch it.
Love story short, Andy.
It's a rumor of somebody found a Facebook post from apparently Corey Barlog's Facebook,
but the real question is, is it really his Facebook of him saying that they're working on a new game that's technically ambitious.
And it's like, all right.
Is that and Greg said it's probably his.
Greg says it's probably true.
Wow.
It's probably real.
That's a quote.
Yeah, the holiday stuff is interesting.
right? Like, it's just
for him to
do this about his own show
and say, see you tomorrow.
I'm gonna be real upset with you, Keeley, if it's not there.
I'm gonna feel betrayed.
But he says, the first time.
Because we always do this.
I know. He's making fun of this.
He's making fun of us. Yeah. I agree with him, but...
Or is he not referencing the Silksong meme,
and he's referencing this specifically.
That'd be hilarious.
That'd be fucking hilarious.
Somebody gets to the bottom of the September 24th.
Where were you on September 24th?
Let's get to our first predictions here.
Mike, let's start with you.
Yeah, I wrote down a couple, Tim.
I have some low ones that are like, oh, if that happens, that's cool.
Not a big deal.
I got some mild ones.
That would be kind of exciting.
And then, of course, the high profile ones.
So I'll start with some low ones.
I'm going to go with my two like, if that happens, people will be like, that's fine.
The first one is an easy one.
I believe that EA and the Battlefield Studios team will return after their two big weekends
of their recent beta testing,
and they will showcase more details
on the single player campaign.
Of course, this is kind of home court advantage
for part of the team from Battlefield Studios.
They are riding high off of those two beta weekends.
Better way to just continue to keep the hype going
into early October than showing off the single player campaign.
We know about portal, we know about multiplayer,
let's show off that story.
That's really going to push that full package
that we want from Battlefield.
field. So I'd like to see Dagger 1 through 3. That's the story team kind of debut on that one.
Maybe we see some actors come out on stage and showcase the team.
Michael Ironside.
Michael Ironside.
I like that prediction.
I think it's solid and you have good evidence there too.
Yeah.
If we were to get some sort of big reveal at the campaign with cut scenes and giving us a little
glimpse as to what the hell this story is, that would be really, really awesome.
Yeah, I don't think we will see Firestorm, which is the Battle Royale.
I think we will wait on.
that until probably February.
In my mind, a perfect world.
We get that February after the cool down of the release window,
get the player base back up.
But probably, if I had to guess, I bet you it's February,
showcase July or June, June release to get the summer gamers in.
But that's my battlefield low.
I don't think that's going to blow the world off,
but people will be excited about that.
Yeah, I like it.
Bless.
Hmm.
Dispatch.
It shows up.
it gets a release date
for February
it gets delayed out of 2020
how much is that is
wishful thinking
oh like
who has it actually comes down
I have it
oh wishful thinking for the fantasy critic
I was even thinking about fantasy critic
that's more so me wondering why we haven't
gotten the release date yet right
I feel like that's something that we should have gotten
during summer game first season
it's probably gonna be next year
and it makes me really sad
I think getting into us being
yeah this late in August
and not having a date for a 2025 thing
means that you're probably
for a game like this, I think you're probably
going to see it get pushed, but also
played the demo, and that demo
runs well, that demo is a fucking
awesome thing, right? And I think, based on
where it seems to be at off that demo,
like, I don't get the vibe of like, oh, this thing's never
coming out, or, oh, this thing needs
a whole lot of work,
but I could see it, yeah, just slipping
in a few months and not being able to hit the 2025.
And also think, February
I say also, because
for any prediction for 2020,
you got to build in room between whatever game you're putting out in GTA 6.
Which is May.
Which is May.
So yeah, absolutely.
February seems like a good spot for this.
For now.
It's kind of a packed window here as we close out the year.
So a game like this that has the opportunity to be really special and stand out,
I kind of like that early 2026 window would be great.
Do you think we'll get any sort of not just release date, but hey, check out.
We also have this other new, this other actor that we're sort of like a wait
Michael Ironset.
Michael Ironside.
I mean, do we, we know all the voices for the main cast of superheroes, right?
I don't know if there's anybody left on the table for them to announce in a major role.
Have we gotten any, like, villain stuff yet?
Is there an antagonist to this plot?
You know, think about it.
That's a really good question.
Michael Inertz, said.
Michael Ironside.
Ready here first.
Andy.
The few I have are kind of boring.
Sorry.
I've just legitimately been so out of the loop,
but I feel like it's time to get some sort of announcement
for Marvel Rivals on Switch 2.
Some sort of thing going.
The game is still,
it's wild,
me going back home,
hanging out with my nephew and him just being all over Marvel Rivals
because I just thought it was all about,
of course,
you know,
Roblox, Fortnite,
Call of Duty,
all that sort of stuff.
Marvel Rivals is,
it's massive amongst the young ins.
I don't know if you know that blessing,
okay?
Because to me it's like, I'd always try to like, hey, Overwatch, right?
But it's just that game style, I didn't think really resonated.
The payload, the capture, all that shit.
I thought it was just battle royals or nothing.
But the same with one of my best friends and his kids and their friends all about Marvel Rivals.
I think that we should get some sort of announcement.
Not that we will get it, but I would like to see some sort of like, all right,
we're dropping Marvel Rivals too with this new season whenever that happens.
available on Switch 2 only.
No Switch 1.
Can't run that shit.
We saw the way Mortal Kombat 1 looked on that.
I'm going to stick with Marvel for my prediction.
My first one.
It's Marvel, baby.
No less than four new characters will be announced across Marvel Tocon Fighting Souls
and Marvel Cosmic Invasion.
Oh, okay.
So I don't know where, I don't know how it's going to be divided,
but no less than four characters announced in those two games.
You want to bring it?
rivals and up at the six.
Double that.
Let's go five.
I'm going to go five. Five.
Five then. Five.
Okay.
My locked in prediction.
Between the three games.
Five new Marvel characters announced between those three games.
Do you want to just say like that you set the over at four and a half?
Yes.
Because if it's six or seven, you don't want to be right.
Five and a half.
You didn't mean five and a half.
He's under.
We go over.
Because we'd have to go opposite.
to him. Yeah, well, we'd say under five
and a half. He was no less than five.
Okay, so four and a half. I'll never
understand over and under, okay, guys.
You say something, I say, yeah.
Four and a half is what we're doing then, yeah.
What do you think? Do you want to like...
I don't know. No.
Because I thought it was odd that
obviously, you know, that Thor character
in Cosmic Evasion, which isn't Thor,
but it's an alligator guy,
whatever he is. What is he?
He's an alien, but, yeah.
I didn't know that was real.
Oh, yeah.
I thought it was somebody from Invincible or something.
He was hinted out in Ragnarok.
He's like one of the faces on,
like there's the grandmaster on the big like building.
Oh.
He's one of them.
Thunder Ray Bill.
Beta Ray Bill.
There is.
Yeah,
Titan Thunder Ray Bill.
Almost right up a porn star.
What's the story in Marvel Cosmic Invasion?
Like,
horse world.
Annihilation's coming.
The annihilation wave.
Horse wrestling.
Cause because we got Beta Ray.
We got Silver Surfer.
Who else we got?
It's a group of misfits.
Well, it's a whole bunch of it.
I mean, we're getting
into the misfit announcements here, you know what I mean?
But because we already have Spider-Man, we have Cap America.
Mike saying Horse World, I saw a
fucking tweet recently of a bumper sticker
that said horse denier
with a picture of a horse and with
the like the Ghostbusters cross out and said
not real.
This made me laugh a lot.
Okay, no, we got Spider-Man here. We got, is that Magneto?
That looks like Magneto. We got Storm. That's not Magneto.
That's Nova. Nova. Nova.
Oh, Nova. I know Nova.
And then who's this person in the back?
Philovel.
What?
Is he fucking with you?
It's the truth, man.
He knows so much Marvel.
Did you watch Guardians of Galaxy?
The Normies have no idea what's happening.
I didn't watch Guardians of Galaxy.
Was he a feature of the brutal girls album or something?
Philabelle.
Remember the little girl at Guardians 3, but they save?
And then she, like, joins the team at the ends.
That's her.
What was the little sound that Drax would do?
You do a little sound, mooky or what are he?
forgot.
Y'all remember.
You all remember.
Let us tell the comments.
Oh, man.
Phil LaBelle.
That's, I mean, that's an R-B-R-B artist.
I listen to Philibel in the 90s.
Or he's a fucking backup
shooting guard for the
Saccharmin Hookings.
Ju-Jub.
There we go.
Mike, I said Mookie.
Yeah, Jim, I'm going to stick with one more
low. I'll give you a quick double.
I'll give you a double because both of them
are kind of low.
one is just for Snowbike Mike.
Of course, the Mega Cat Studios
who have taken over backyard sports,
the franchise, have come out and
starting to get the license for a lot
of former MLB players
leading to the re-release
of backyard
baseballs
01, which had the sports actual
MLB players in it,
Hall of Famers and players that were playing
at the time. So my
selfish prediction is we showcase
backyard basketball with
KG and all the players back
then, which would be very special.
They had Tim Duncan, KG, many
others. That will not happen here.
Tim Duncan on stage.
Snowmike mics.
Just, you know, I want that to happen.
I'll give you one that I do think
will happen, though. Power Wash Simulator
2 gets a release date and has a
fun collab with Sonic.
I think Sonic is hot
right now. I'm trying to picture what
they're washing. You have the Sonic
tails kind of...
It's blasted him down. I don't like it.
You can't be...
Give me blast in the furries like that.
I don't like it.
But I do think it's some sort of sonic crossover would be fun.
Maybe Dr. Eggheads, cool stuff.
That's a good one actually.
But I do think Power Watch Simulator 2 will get dated here.
This is time for us to see this.
Of course, Joey got to showcase and talk about a little bit of it.
But, hey, yeah, Dr. Robotnik.
Don't they call him egghead?
Eggman.
Eggman.
I don't really like Sonny.
I don't know Sonic.
I'm just guessing.
This is a good, good guess here
because yeah, Sonic do be collabing.
What's fun, right?
It's like, SpongeBob came.
That's awesome.
What other cool collapse could you do?
Yeah, Final Fantasy 7 happened.
Yeah.
So that's my guess.
I do find it tough to think
what they're washing
in the Sonic universe.
What are the chemical plant zone?
Like, what are the iconic locations?
You got to give the tracks.
A chili dog stand?
Maybe it is,
Tails is plane.
Yeah.
It probably would be that.
Robotniks.
little hover machine thing that he's always phoned in.
Think about all the mildew
and stuff that grows around
the little pool that big the cat jumps in
in Sonic Adventure too.
Think about that. When he goes to fishing.
Think about it.
I never actually played in Sonic Adventure too.
Me either. I just saw
Game Grumps.
Great game grumps play through.
So there's two just easy ones for you.
I like it. Okay. I think it would have be chemical plan zone.
Is it my turn?
It is.
As we know, Ghost of Yonels of Yonels.
Yote is getting a new trailer, or at least it's showing up at the event.
Erica Ishi comes on stage to introduce it and talk about the game.
That's it. That's all I got.
Yeah. Gamescom, everybody.
Yeah, gamescom.
Because, like, that's my thing is I went through the rig and roll in my brain of what new can you show about Ghost of Yote.
And the problem is, I think we've seen everything that we've needed to see.
We've gotten the tie-in console, right?
Like, we've seen how those PS5 plates look.
We've gotten gameplay.
We've gotten story.
We've gotten, like, what the setup of the game is.
They've shown us so much of Ghost of Yote.
I think right now we're just.
just in the final stretch of getting to the game.
And I think all you have left is to just show another trailer and have Erica Ishi
come out and hype people up and talk about the game a little bit.
Cameron Kennedy in the chat says multiplayer maybe?
You think there's a chance that they announced that?
I don't think so.
Maybe Legends.
It's too early.
I think it's too early.
I think if that's coming out later, then you wait until the game's out and then
have that be part of like a post-launch rollout to continue to ride the hype.
That's my thing is like it's going to be.
We know it's going to be here.
I just don't think there's anything worthwhile.
Maybe I make that part of my prediction.
Erica Ishi comes out and talks about it.
Nothing worthwhile is said.
It's just another trailer.
And you go, okay, cool.
That was a good trailer.
She was like, yeah, I don't mind going to Germany.
That sounds fun.
He's like, oh, I'll take a check to go to Germany.
Yeah, for sure.
Of course.
I take the free flight.
Andy.
I believe in my heart of hearts that crimson dawn,
otherwise known as it's crimson-desident,
will show off another one of these
trailers. I mean, they just had gameplay release recently, but I think they will drop a date for a demo that
will be available in the next week. Play it on Steam. I think that you're on to something there.
They have done the demos before. And yeah, that does make sense. It's real. Play it. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. One of my predictions was Crimson Desert gets a release date February, 2026. There's no
mention of Crimson Dawn. Ah. Yeah. But, but yeah, actually, I think I think your predictions
better than mine. I think a demo soon.
Demos have been coming back, man?
Like, the demo would be wild.
My mind, my mind melts when you say demo
of this game, because I'm so excited for it,
but it's just this giant open world.
Where do you put me in this demo?
We, I mean, well, when, you know, when the elderly
network test happened and you talk about
a giant open world, there were
a bunch of walls
that just, you know, prevented you from running
everywhere. Like, you had a shit ton
of just dev walls all over the place
whenever you would try to go out and far
and explore.
But yeah, I think we haven't really
we haven't really
discussed just how much demos
have been back for several years
after many, many years
of just never ever existing really.
And in the last like three, four,
five years it's been like demos are back baby.
And I think that this is a good way for them to show,
hey, the game is real.
Again, we showed you that gameplay trailer, and you know that this shit is real and this game runs, or at least runs in a way because it isn't flawless.
When I watch that gameplay trailer, I noticed like, all right, this is probably running on DLS has ultra performance because it looked really noisy in some spots and it's doing its best to keep the rays from re-re reconstruction on the metal and all that shit.
It's like this is a flawed game visually that I can see like, yeah, this is a real game.
And you'll be able to play it very, very soon, hopefully.
My next prediction was going to be Crimson Desert getting a release date.
But since you took that, I'm going to jump to some of a little spicier.
It's spicy.
Pragmatta is Mega Man.
Let's fucking go.
Let's fucking go.
We got him.
There's been a lot of evidence.
It seems like a crazy Grinch theory.
But there's evidence in where there's smokes, everybody.
But here's the deal for the prediction.
It will not be officially revealed at Gamescom.
It will just be more clearly hinted at.
Okay.
That, oh, is this Mega Man?
Like, in a more direct way than, okay, there's a lot of, like, hidden tiny things.
In a way that we're going to be watching this and be like, that's Mega Man.
You know?
And I think that the Mega Man official, like, them saying it outright, that'll be Game Awards.
They mentioned Dr. William or something, like, so they close to Wiley or something.
Um, do you, okay, is there any part of your brain that could also theorize that, you know,
let's say this was always meant to be like a 10% Mega Man comeback.
It's so obvious.
And just look at her what she's wearing.
But as everybody's hyping this up more and more, they're like, yeah, we should lean into
this shit even more.
Hey, fucking, Jeff, get over here.
Like, let's go harder in this sort of, uh, in this sort of area.
I think they do the Thunderbolts thing
where the game comes out. I was going to say that.
They cross out the title. Oh shit.
I was going to say that. But I think that happens at Game Awards.
Asterisk. Oh, so you think they actually do that?
I think they actually do it.
That'd be... Come on.
Do you think more blue gets added to this suit throughout the game?
Because it's completely white right now.
Yes.
Yeah.
She's actually 38th and's mega woman.
Put that woke shit in there.
Can you go back to the, like, the key art at the end with just like the prigmata text?
I'm trying to solve a puzzle right now.
Which ones are highlighted.
Yeah, because I'm like M and A and an M, but is that a V?
A, V.
Up, down.
Those are directions you go in Mega Man.
You do go up and down and jump and shoot, man.
Okay.
Whoa, hold on.
Man, shit.
You all are real, like.
Oh, Andy, there's a rabbit hole for you to go down of evidence left, right, and
no, I mean, I've read like the Polygon article and stuff.
And I was like, okay, but these are all still.
just cute theories or whatever, but man, we are getting into some, we are getting into some fucking
uh, uh, Kojima at, can you go back to when she was like doing this.
Kojima game awards with the mask on, you know, whatever his, what was that called?
I forget. Oh, the fan of Yoko Mowgren or whatever, like, like, didn't they have like a whale?
Yeah, but even before that, right, it was to do with the bandages.
Yeah. But like, you know, when the logo ended up revealing that it was like,
fan of, you know, like, oh, I see.
Yeah, man.
Interesting. It's in our face right here, dude.
It's in our face. It's in our face.
But, like, she has a hand there. She just had a bust her cannon.
Someone said she's the mega, he's the man.
I mean, she looks like Roll from Mega. Can you pull a picture of roll?
Like, that's one of the biggest pieces of evidence. This is that I get,
cool, it's just a little blonde girl, but it's a little blonde girl holding her hand out like that.
Okay.
I'm so on the Mega Man train for.
this. I don't know. She wears red. This girl's wearing blue.
Yeah. I don't see it. It's 2025.
Megan me in blue. Who's next?
Who just went? You? I just went. Mike. I'm back again. Yeah.
Um, okay, let's do some fun ones here, Tim. And I also have a cool announcement that I get to share.
I'll do the announcement first. I'm pregnant. I get to share that I went down to
Trey Arc for a look at Blackop 7. That is all I can say, but I will.
share more details tomorrow after
opening night live and I would keep an
eye out for our coverage if you're very excited
for Call of Duty Blackup 7.
Nice. You said that they got a gun to your head.
Well, I didn't know where to put this
in to be honest with him because I was like, oh shit,
I probably shouldn't just said that.
Rewind and listen to how he delivers it again.
So I'm excited about that. I can't wait
to tell you about it. But going back to
predictions, here's another little mild
medium one for you. Diablo
4's second expansion is shown
with a trailer, of course, it's the badass cinematics team showing it off,
and the paladin is confirmed.
This is something we know is happening.
Most likely in 2026, Jason Schreier put up that tweet and that photo back at like some weird dice summit.
We know that Rod Ferguson already announced that we're on the path of this.
And so is this the time to showcase that?
Xbox has a heavy presence here at Gamescom.
I think Diablo 4 will have a second expansion shown.
I mean Greg Miller goes, who we?
Double down.
That's a good one, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bless.
Oh, I think I'm next.
No, it's me.
Oh, it's plus.
Yeah.
But also I'm not ready because I'm looking at mine.
And I'm trying not to do the too obvious thing.
But then I have one that I don't believe.
I have one that I wrote down that I don't believe in.
I'm all having fun.
I'll write down the one that I don't believe in.
But maybe, like, you guys can help me massage it and turn it into something.
Believe it.
Find the knots.
Yes.
Michael Ironside.
Okay.
There we go.
He's there.
He's there.
The Reddit post where the guy was like, yeah, I saw my car on Ironside at the airport.
And he was talking about going to Munich.
That turned out to be true because it was a connecting flight down to Gamescom and Cologne.
He's on stage.
And he shows off the smallest teaser for a splinter cell.
It's going to be one of those ones where like, really, that's it?
The three green dots.
The three green dots.
Again.
Again, yes, maybe a little bit longer.
But like, you're not going to get anything more than that.
That could save Ubisoft.
That could be the moment.
I think this is the turnaround point.
I think that's one part of what saves Ubisoft.
Because us saying this could be the one is like
me as is as great, this could be the one.
Because elsewhere in the show,
Prince of Persia, Sands a Time remake
shows up and gets an actual trailer
and reiterates 2026.
It is, I'm similar to you
where I didn't really have a prediction. I just had a couple
words that I was like, I'll flesh it out.
Yeah.
Ubisoft's been quiet.
They didn't have a forward.
They didn't have a forward.
They're big releases in the forms of outlaws and shadows,
both being out.
It is a little bizarre that we just haven't heard anything about what they're up to besides
the Assassin's Creed DLC and all that.
So I do think at some point they need to start talking about games and like reaffirming
things that we've seen before with a bit more of like a roadmap or else what's even
coming from them, right?
So we know Prince of Perger says the time.
I don't know that we see it tomorrow though.
I mean 2020, when do you when do we see it?
Do we see it?
That's a really good question.
You know?
Do we see it?
I don't know.
know. You know, there's been rumors of Assassin's Creed
Black Flag remake.
Oh, shoot. And like this
does seem like the type of place to
do that. That does make more sense, actually.
I'm not convinced that that's real, but
also at the same time, if Ubisoft was to bring
anything to Gamescom, I would expect that
level of announcement rather than like
a new Far Cry or a new
I don't know, man, and a Far Cry feels like
the perfect type of a game.
Microsoft's so fuck.
You're like, the biggest franchises were like,
it feels like, it feels like,
like a gamescom opening night live announcement that's my thing is it's the how far
ubysoft has fallen thing of it yeah where i'm like heavily gone down to gamescom level maybe
i would hope not like i would hope that sayings the time in fact when did we see prince of
prins of time last was that a game awards it was ubsops forward where they had their little
prince of persia like it's been 40 years or whatever and like we saw all the little prince
never mind i stand by maybe rethink you're thinking yeah bsop with thrive at an opening night
live showcase.
That is also true.
You've been soft games would steal
the show and be kind of the
most talked about things there. Maybe this is
where you plant your flag and kind of get a little
elbow room at the table letting people know
you're back. They're also in the middle of
like restructuring with the whole
what is it, 10 cent and all that stuff.
Like, I don't know.
I don't know.
Yeah, but that's like mainly Assassin's Creed,
right? Yeah.
And also Prince of Person. I'm just not convinced that they
like show up at this in like the way that Mike is
They just fucking go big.
Their games are on level with thriving and opening night live.
Their games don't have said anywhere else to be thriving.
I picture like slow-mo walking into a club, Eve Gilmoh, like pushing people out of the way.
He's like, we're back.
Like a palms somebody's face.
Exactly.
Oh my God.
We are halfway through our predictions for games.
We'll be right back after a quick word from our sponsors.

And we're back from SoftServe in the chat with saying,
like, why are we acting like Gamescom is like just a dollar store?
It's not anything.
And the reason is just because opening night,
we know Gamescom is huge as an event,
but Gamescom opening night live
so far has not been the place
with major announcements. So just kind of just
based on history, that's why we're not
expecting anything major
to be dropped here. What's the biggest
thing that's been announced at a gamescom?
Bion. Dead Island. Real time? Yeah, Dead Island.
Dead Island, too. What closed
last year? Was that dying like the Beast?
It couldn't have been, right?
I'll look into it. Definitely. I mean,
it definitely sounds right. Yeah. We got
Erica that one year, the
FMV game that I played.
Greg played.
What?
Wasn't like the portal?
Was the portal from Gamescom?
There's like some PlayStation hardware that happened.
Yeah, PlayStation Portal.
Maybe the Edge.
One of them PlayStation Hardware was that Gamescom.
The Edge.
Oh, here we go.
No, you know what?
Closed Gamescom opening night live,
2024.
It was Mafia, the old country.
Oh, yeah.
The announcement for it.
Yeah.
It was a Saints Roll.
Saints Roll closed that one year.
Usually like the games,
like the revival
of games that people have been asking for
that come out and score 7 out of 10 at most
are the ones that close out games come.
Backdown's back.
Backdown's back.
It's time. Backdowns back.
Did y'all play it, Mafia?
Yeah, that was bad.
Really? Six out of ten.
Yeah, everybody kind of dissuaded me from playing it.
I'm replaying the series right now, though.
Good series.
For games.
Where were we at? We have two more predictions here.
Andy, go.
A little saucy this one.
Ooh, sauce me up.
See a little red light.
that's the sound effect for the audio listening
do it one more time
it didn't catch you
oh it didn't catch you
well it's just like the general
sort of like sound effect
whenever a light turns on
and it's the same red light looks familiar
that's because it's the same red light we saw
when armored core was released
Bandai Namco's here
we know that there are gamescom
we know that they're showing three games
on the show floor
but I think that they announce
I don't want to say
an armored core sequel.
I just want to say an armored core
expansion, something new
with armored core six.
The game sold way beyond their
expectations, even though it wasn't a massive
success, it still did really, really
well for them. We know from Software has
a shitload of teams working
on a lot of different things,
and I think that one of those smaller teams was
working on some sort of
armored core something. I don't know
what it is. A mobile port.
God, I hope not.
A new multiplayer mode.
But they already have a multiplayer mode.
I'm saying a new multiplayer mode.
Yeah, they just have like PVP.
What are you doing this one?
I don't know.
Maybe they're going against...
Oh, an awkward core racing game.
Maybe they're trying to go up against Mecca Break.
You know?
Maybe they're doing a full sort of fours,
a four V four squad.
I would just love to see some sort of expansion.
That'd be sick.
I know that they're here.
And I know that that's, you know...
Armour d'ore didn't deserve to, like, come and go.
Not to say that, like, people, like,
didn't like it or like threw it away or anything
but it's one of those games where you finish it and
kind of move on. Yeah. I feel like that's
a game that deserves like an expansion or
something to keep it in the... Well you finish it and you play it
again for that new game plus. Yeah. Which I...
And then again for the new game plus plus. Which I did.
I love that shit. What a game. So Andy, your prediction there
Armored Core. AC.
Andy Cortez. That's the wrong AC.
Air conditioning. Ace Combat.
Yeah, what number is. A.C. Ace Combat Ate's
is what it's going to be.
It has been many years since Ace Combat 7.
Skies Unknown was released in 2019.
People love this franchise.
Every time I see a trailer for it, I'm like, whoa, that looks pretty cool.
And I think it's time to take to the skies.
Tim, if that's for real, I'm in.
Because I've been high on Microsoft Flight Simulator for a while now.
And if I can elevate that into some dog fighting up in the skies, give a full Maverick on,
I'm in Tim.
Yeah.
This is a post-maverick world.
We haven't had an Ace
combat sense.
It's time.
Tomorrow.
Take to the bank.
Take of the bank.
Is it like a trailer?
Is it just a logo?
You can't just do a logo if you're Acecom.
You don't got it like that.
You know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think it's the whole kit and caboodle.
I think it's a trailer.
I think it's a name of the game.
It'll be fun subtitle.
It will be Ace Combat 8 something.
And we're, the name's not going to be cool enough to actually elicit a
response from us that's like, ooh, but because we're having this conversation, it's not
fires of Rubicon.
It's not, it's not going to be fires of Rubicon levels, but I think it's going to be above
sky's unknown.
I was going to say skies of Arcadia or something.
Okay.
We know the skies now.
Do you think maybe the main character is some sort of celebrity?
Michael.
Iron side.
Shit.
Mike, next one.
Yeah, Tim.
Let's talk about dinoes.
Okay.
I've been awaiting a giraffe.
Park game called Jurassic Park Survive.
And they just got a nice little team breakdown.
Talking about how excited they are about being in the Jurassic Park universe,
how excited they are to show you all the sweet details of the dinoes,
what they're bringing to you with this single player game.
And that got me excited.
I would love to start a dinosaur pod of my.
No.
But you know what I do?
I think this is the perfect level of Lucid 3.
No.
Arc 2.
Oh.
It's time.
Okay.
What's up with Wildcard Studios?
where are they at? What are we doing? Studio Wildcard.
Arc 2 is in this weird spot where Arc 1 is getting some nice, strong love over there.
It is time to move over to that.
Vin Diesel hasn't been seen in a while up on stage.
Talking about how much he's put into that.
So, yeah, my Dino prediction is Arc 2 is finally shown here.
We kind of start moving the ball towards a release next summer.
Mike, can you give me the rundown as to what is happening with Arc?
period. Like is,
uh,
I know that whenever you, me and Nick streamed it,
it was the,
the remaster, the sort of,
what was it called? Ark rea,
arc survival, re,
imagine, re-core, re-volved.
Arc ascended. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. So that was just,
that's just a, was that just a visual upgrade? I'm so confused with this
franchise because I feel like we saw this Vin Diesel trailer so long ago.
It was four years ago.
And you could have told me.
it came out two years ago and I'd be like, oh shit.
Wow, I didn't realize that.
But I just don't know what's happening with this world and with this franchise anymore.
Arc Survival Ascended is the remaster of the 2017 game.
Arc Survival Evolved, which is going to take you up to that kind of next gen level of graphics and stability.
I don't know much about where we are with Studio Wildcard.
I thought last we left them, they had something going on with their studio that wasn't positive.
And so hopefully they're back on track.
and we see this because this game is like,
let's see, underwater game we've been talking about.
This is a subnotica situation to me,
where I love this game and I want more of it.
So I hope that we can see this sooner than later.
Bless.
Man, I'm between two.
I'm going to combine them both into not necessarily game predictions,
or at least games that we care about,
but things that'll happen.
All right.
We have.
strap in. I'm seeing what he's
typing right now. I think you
get, I think both these things happen. Firstly,
you get over
four and a half Genshin Impact
like games. Okay, yeah, that's good.
So that includes, that is including
Genshin, that's very good. So Genshin,
ZendlaZone Zero. Wuthering waves. Wuthering
waves, Starreel,
and then, I guess at least one more.
That's my first part.
Second part. Don't make one
between now and then.
Second part.
And again, this all has to happen for me to get this whole point.
Oh, shit.
At some point, the big parlay.
Protesters end up on stage.
Oh, shit.
I think somebody's protesting something, probably political.
Oh, I thought it was going to be people.
Somebody protested something.
I thought it was a processor stormed the stage as a protection.
I thought it was people against a gotcha games.
How is this related to the Genshin likes?
No, it's just one of those things where it's like, it's tradition.
It's a big part.
It's a tradition.
It's a tradition.
What happens at Gamescom?
People end up on stage that shouldn't be on stage.
What else happens at Gamescom?
We get a lot of Genshinelikes.
Gotcha games need to go.
Gotcha games need to go.
Maybe they're protesting Zenless Zone Zero.
Yeah, okay.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
Okay.
Andy.
Got one prediction, by the way.
I know we had some not so positive news about one,
Bioshock 4 recently.
And we won't get any more here.
This does.
seem like one of those like, man, it could
possibly have it, but there will be no Bioshock
4. That's not my prediction, though.
Let me just make one up right here on the spot.
Let's see here. Let's see here.
Let me go through.
I'll go through here real quick.
No Bioshock, no Judas.
No Bioshock, no Judas.
Man, fuck, man.
I'm a believer in Judas. I think Judas is happening.
But it's just not a gamescom announcement.
That is a...
That's like a Summer Game Fest.
Summer Game Fest.
I think it's Summer Game Fest type deal.
Actually, no, we will get a Bioschoport trailer.
Yeah.
That changed my mind.
What was the new story we just covered about that?
That it's fucked.
But they were like, hey, the remake was canned or whatever.
And things aren't going great.
We've had to sort of...
It's similar to like whenever you hear news about Marvel movies or like,
Hey, we've gone back to the writing
Drawing board? Yeah. Riders' room,
drawing board? I think some leadership
has been replaced or something like that
from what I remember.
It ain't looking good. But they're going to sneak in
an MP4 into that presentation.
All right.
I don't want to go here. Amazon's
fallout will be there. We know that.
Amazon's Secret Level
Season 2.
Oh. I'll also be there. I like that.
I like that.
It's already confirmed they're doing a season two.
Will it be more focused?
No.
I don't think so.
I don't think that this will address any issues people had with the first season.
I do think that tomorrow they will announce no less than three game worlds that will be visited in season two.
And which game worlds are those?
I am not willing to say that at this time.
And what game gets a weird adaptation that they turn into?
an episode, i.e. Shadow Labyrinth
Pac-Man. Pac-Man.
Yeah. So you're setting the, you're setting
the over at two and a half?
Yeah. Okay.
You're going over two and a half.
That's it. I like it. Somebody says mafia. I can see
a mafia episode. Yeah. Why not?
For secret level. Well, we do know,
didn't they mention Mike something about
like really wanting to do Halo?
I was going to say Halo.
I think Halo's a layup on that one for sure.
Yeah, for sure. If they were to announce a season two, I think
that partnership and going back to that
is definitely a must do. I swear
they either asked in an interview or it was a
random tweet from people responding to
somebody working on the team being like,
we really wanted to do Halo, hopefully, you know,
crossing our fingers for being able
to do one in the future or something.
Cameron Kennedy says we get like split gate or some shit.
Dude, split gate, season two,
secret invasion.
Level.
Take it to the bank.
I like that.
I think that does make sense to me.
It'd be like the unreal tournament one.
That was really good.
that one a lot.
So, like,
Splike could be cool.
Or portal.
Maybe we could just get a portal one.
That'd be cool.
Take the,
take the PVP out of it.
Yeah.
Don't underrate their access to IP.
Because they,
like,
they were able to partner with everybody.
Yeah.
Like that whole PlayStation episode.
No Nintendo.
I never watched.
Well, yeah,
not Nintendo.
Yeah.
Nobody's.
That's different.
Yeah.
Nobody has access.
One person will be able to play a Pokemon game
in the next couple months and it won't be Tim.
I was also thinking about making a fallout prediction.
So I like that yours was just that the,
have more stuff because I was trying to massage it, couldn't figure out where I wanted to go.
But I think where I landed on was that somebody we know was going to be on stage,
talking about Fallout to present the trailer.
I just couldn't figure out if it's Walton Goggins.
I was like, could they get him, you know, could they fly him to Germany for that?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Todd Howard.
Maybe.
They just released some first look photos.
I mean, old school, New Vegas before Goggins becomes the ghoul, which is going to be cool.
That's going to be cool.
I'm going back in time.
So that means maybe we go.
back towards fallout new
Vegas and that way so he becomes of
isn't he a ghoul now
yeah but they show past
Walter Goggins as well
flashback what's name of the star actress
that alley
Ellie Pernell
Ella Pernell yeah
Holy shit
Maybe she's on stage
I'm crazy
Not getting that right and I said
Ellie static
That's just all wrong
Everything about that
I can see her being there
Okay dokey
I know I believe they can get her
but not get Walton Gogg's
There's a lot of chatter in the same way there's chat about Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake.
There's always chatter about a Fallout 3 remake.
I don't think this is the place or time.
But what do you all think?
I mean, that'd be sick.
I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility.
Oblivion kind of came out of nowhere, no?
Totally, yeah.
So it is possible.
All it takes is one showcase.
All it takes is one.
Let's turn the shit around, Jeff.
Is El Pernell British?
I think she's Australian, maybe.
Oh, no, no, everyone.
I was just saying maybe she lives closer
so you can get her
and also she's sorry
these things airplanes
they get to do in
there's no way
they're flying Walton Goggins
to Germany
to gamescom to then introduce
the fallout trailer
she is from the UK
he likes money
I mean he does like money
but like
I don't know it's just long
if Ella Pranelle's closer
then yeah
just get Ella Pernell
I mean bear just
you know where he is
she is from the UK
that does change everything
wait is he from the UK
no
oh okay I was like
I don't know
maybe he's from New York
that's a quick little jaunt
yeah but not as close
as he is from the UK
like anywhere else in Europe to
I guess Germany is a gigantic country.
What's your next one?
Did you say Germany's
a gigantic country?
Oh, actually no, no, never mind.
Sorry, I'm thinking of.
What are you thinking of?
No, don't worry about it.
Russia?
Don't worry about it.
You're definitely thinking Russia.
Blackwood with the Wukon against D.L.C.
That's all I thought.
I thought you were leaving
Blackmun, Woonk in 2024.
I was trying to, but then I ran out of predictions
because my last prediction was going to be about the ROG ally.
Yeah.
But I kind of got that out the way with Silk Song, and so here we are.
Andy.
Just looking down the list of games that might be there.
Looking down.
But I want to make a, you know,
I think I want to make just another demo sort of announcement.
Oh, fuck.
Morbid metal's going to be there,
which is a Ubisoft published game,
which gives me even more hope that we might get.
Michael
Sam Fisher
I got fuck off
What if I just gave you four
Is that allowed?
Yeah, I feel like we
This is your fourth
Right
I thought that was the fifth
That's fit
We can just go to
Superchats if you'd like
What about Hades
What about James Bond
See I was thinking about James Bond
James Bond
James Bond gameplay I think is very
Very possible
I can see like that
This is a mission
Or the start of a mission
To James Bond right
We saw some gameplay
So now it feels like a perfect time of like,
Hey, let's show you kind of how this is going to flow.
You don't think that's too soon.
I feel like it's game awards.
Like, because when are we getting James Bond?
2026.
Yeah.
If we, yeah.
Okay, hold on, hold on.
Why is the Division 2 playable at Gamescom?
Is it a DLC that you played?
From a month and a half, two months ago?
I don't think many people talk about that, right?
Maybe it's just a chance to get people to,
just remember it in general?
Something's happening.
Something's happening.
And it could change the fortune.
Wow.
Wow.
This is going to be the turning boy.
It could change everything for UVSA.
My last prediction was Mousse P.I.
for hire finally gets a release state trailer.
Oh, nice.
I like that.
Okay.
That's a good one.
Troy Baker announcing anything on stage, nothing.
That he's in the game again.
Is he?
I mean, he may be in Russia.
That's a long flight.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.
Let's look at some super chats here.
J.B.
says,
I'll crash out if no new Mega Man tomorrow.
Check it out.
Pragmata.
A guitar hero arrow says,
Warhorse will be there with Kingdom Come Deliverance's.
New D.L.C.
A native PS5 upgrade of one has been leaked
and subsequently teased by Warhorse.
Maybe a shadow drop.
That makes sense.
Warhorse.
Yel Singh says, after the betas for Battlefield 6,
how do we feel about 100M?
Like?
100 M.
What the hell is a hundred?
Oh, 100 million players.
Oh, hitting the 100 million players?
I mean, no, but this is, but no.
They want to hit 100 million players?
Yeah.
In Battlefield?
Yeah.
That was some sort of crazy, like, CEO meeting, right?
Where they were just throwing numbers around.
That can't be.
Yeah, it was some, like, person at EA being like, I think we can hit 100 million.
I think we can get to 100 million listeners of the show.
It's got to believe, everybody.
If the Ring of Fire goes free to play, then you talk about that.
But no, I don't think after this beta you're showing that right now, no.
Trevor says small prediction, Slate the Spire 2, early access date.
Yeah, that's a good one.
I like that a lot.
Lee Ellis says, morning, jents, first time message, and just want to say, I love and appreciate everything you do.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I really appreciate you.
Can't wait to hang out with you tomorrow, live reacting to Gamescom.
And then, Kabob says Michael Ironside shows up on stage to announce Sam Fisher's gear as DLC
in some other Ubisoft game, maybe Rainbow Six Seege.
No mention of the Splinter Cell game.
Can you imagine?
I think he's already in Siege.
One of the other ones then.
I know he was in for honor, you know?
He was in the local game on Wildlands.
Yeah.
Yeah, they just be putting him in things.
They just be putting them in things.
Thank you all so much for hanging out with us for this predictions episode.
I feel like we put together a pretty good list of things.
All things considered.
Gamescom might be the toughest showcase to do predictions for her.
Yeah.
Because you can't aim too high.
Yeah.
And he tells you so much of what's already going to be there.
That is the thing.
I have a confirmed list of over 15 games here.
That are cool.
Yeah.
So we're going to get some good stuff tomorrow.
I just like,
I don't think you should expect major announcements.
But we'll see.
All it takes is one.
All it takes is one.
All it takes is one.
To change the future and fortunes of Ubisoft.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Division 3.
And Gamescom.
Until next time.
I love you all.
Goodbye.
I was thinking of Russia.
