Starting point is 00:00:07 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.
Starting point is 00:00:24 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.
Starting point is 00:00:45 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.
Starting point is 00:00:58 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.
Starting point is 00:01:13 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.
Starting point is 00:01:35 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.
Starting point is 00:01:49 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.

Starting point is 00:03:29 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?
Starting point is 00:04:02 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.
Starting point is 00:04:16 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.
Starting point is 00:04:29 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.
Starting point is 00:04:48 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?
Starting point is 00:05:06 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.
Starting point is 00:05:24 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.
Starting point is 00:05:42 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.
Starting point is 00:05:55 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.
Starting point is 00:06:12 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?
Starting point is 00:06:23 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
Starting point is 00:07:04 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
Starting point is 00:07:20 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.
Starting point is 00:07:39 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
Starting point is 00:08:23 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?
Starting point is 00:08:37 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
Starting point is 00:08:49 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.
Starting point is 00:09:07 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.
Starting point is 00:09:23 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.
Starting point is 00:09:34 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.
Starting point is 00:09:53 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.
Starting point is 00:10:01 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,
Starting point is 00:10:23 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,
Starting point is 00:10:49 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,
Starting point is 00:11:11 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.
Starting point is 00:11:28 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.
Starting point is 00:11:46 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
Starting point is 00:11:58 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,
Starting point is 00:12:16 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.
Starting point is 00:12:34 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.
Starting point is 00:12:51 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
Starting point is 00:13:13 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.
Starting point is 00:13:36 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.
Starting point is 00:13:55 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,
Starting point is 00:14:17 but people will be excited about that. Yeah, I like it. Bless. Hmm. Dispatch. It shows up. it gets a release date for February
Starting point is 00:14:32 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
Starting point is 00:14:45 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
Starting point is 00:14:57 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,
Starting point is 00:15:13 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,
Starting point is 00:15:29 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,
Starting point is 00:15:46 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?
Starting point is 00:16:14 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.
Starting point is 00:16:28 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,
Starting point is 00:16:43 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,
Starting point is 00:16:54 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.
Starting point is 00:17:17 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.
Starting point is 00:17:39 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?
Starting point is 00:17:58 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.
Starting point is 00:18:11 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.
Starting point is 00:18:27 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...
Starting point is 00:18:44 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.
Starting point is 00:19:01 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.
Starting point is 00:19:11 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.
Starting point is 00:19:21 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.
Starting point is 00:19:33 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
Starting point is 00:19:48 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.
Starting point is 00:20:02 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?
Starting point is 00:20:13 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.
Starting point is 00:20:30 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
Starting point is 00:20:45 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.
Starting point is 00:20:56 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
Starting point is 00:21:12 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
Starting point is 00:21:28 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
Starting point is 00:21:42 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...
Starting point is 00:21:56 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.
Starting point is 00:22:20 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
Starting point is 00:22:29 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.
Starting point is 00:22:40 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,
Starting point is 00:22:52 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
Starting point is 00:23:03 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.
Starting point is 00:23:17 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.
Starting point is 00:23:36 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.
Starting point is 00:23:52 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.
Starting point is 00:24:11 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.
Starting point is 00:24:27 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.
Starting point is 00:24:37 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
Starting point is 00:24:55 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.
Starting point is 00:25:31 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
Starting point is 00:25:46 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
Starting point is 00:26:03 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.
Starting point is 00:26:33 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.
Starting point is 00:27:12 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.
Starting point is 00:27:28 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,
Starting point is 00:27:59 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
Starting point is 00:28:22 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.
Starting point is 00:28:37 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?
Starting point is 00:28:59 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.
Starting point is 00:29:10 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.
Starting point is 00:29:45 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?
Starting point is 00:30:09 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.
Starting point is 00:30:35 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.
Starting point is 00:31:00 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
Starting point is 00:31:18 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.
Starting point is 00:31:43 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.
Starting point is 00:31:56 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.
Starting point is 00:32:10 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.
Starting point is 00:32:25 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?
Starting point is 00:32:43 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.
Starting point is 00:32:55 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
Starting point is 00:33:11 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.
Starting point is 00:33:24 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?
Starting point is 00:33:48 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
Starting point is 00:34:00 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
Starting point is 00:34:16 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
Starting point is 00:34:44 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
Starting point is 00:35:03 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.
Starting point is 00:35:18 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.

Starting point is 00:39:16 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
Starting point is 00:39:31 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
Starting point is 00:39:47 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.
Starting point is 00:40:01 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.
Starting point is 00:40:12 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
Starting point is 00:40:24 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.
Starting point is 00:40:36 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.
Starting point is 00:40:51 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
Starting point is 00:41:07 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
Starting point is 00:41:23 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
Starting point is 00:41:39 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.
Starting point is 00:41:56 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.
Starting point is 00:42:08 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.
Starting point is 00:42:21 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.
Starting point is 00:42:38 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.
Starting point is 00:43:01 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.
Starting point is 00:43:21 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?
Starting point is 00:43:34 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.
Starting point is 00:43:46 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.
Starting point is 00:44:07 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.
Starting point is 00:44:19 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.
Starting point is 00:44:39 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.
Starting point is 00:44:49 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.
Starting point is 00:45:09 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,
Starting point is 00:45:34 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.
Starting point is 00:45:52 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.
Starting point is 00:46:20 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.
Starting point is 00:46:41 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,
Starting point is 00:47:01 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.
Starting point is 00:47:17 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.
Starting point is 00:47:31 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.
Starting point is 00:47:50 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.
Starting point is 00:48:00 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.
Starting point is 00:48:11 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.
Starting point is 00:48:35 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.
Starting point is 00:48:56 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?
Starting point is 00:49:12 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
Starting point is 00:49:32 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
Starting point is 00:49:53 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.
Starting point is 00:50:10 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?
Starting point is 00:50:38 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.
Starting point is 00:50:56 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,
Starting point is 00:51:12 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.
Starting point is 00:51:26 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.
Starting point is 00:51:36 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.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Yeah. Like that whole PlayStation episode. No Nintendo. I never watched. Well, yeah, not Nintendo. Yeah. Nobody's.
Starting point is 00:51:51 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.
Starting point is 00:52:03 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.
Starting point is 00:52:19 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
Starting point is 00:52:35 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
Starting point is 00:52:47 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
Starting point is 00:52:59 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?
Starting point is 00:53:17 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.
Starting point is 00:53:29 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
Starting point is 00:53:38 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
Starting point is 00:53:46 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
Starting point is 00:53:52 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.
Starting point is 00:54:02 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?
Starting point is 00:54:14 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.
Starting point is 00:54:39 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.
Starting point is 00:55:02 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?
Starting point is 00:55:15 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
Starting point is 00:55:26 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
Starting point is 00:55:35 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.
Starting point is 00:55:49 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,
Starting point is 00:56:07 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.
Starting point is 00:56:19 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.
Starting point is 00:56:30 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.
Starting point is 00:56:36 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.
Starting point is 00:56:49 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?
Starting point is 00:57:06 100 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?
Starting point is 00:57:20 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.
Starting point is 00:57:40 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.
Starting point is 00:57:56 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?
Starting point is 00:58:16 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.
Starting point is 00:58:33 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.
Starting point is 00:58:43 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.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Division 3. And Gamescom. Until next time. I love you all. Goodbye. I was thinking of Russia.
