Starting point is 00:00:07 Welcome back to the Kind of Funny Games cast. As always, I'm Tim Geddes. Join by the new face of video games. Blessing at a Yoia, Jr. Wow, me first, huh? Yeah, you're the first one I looked up. I looked up on the screen. Again, I complimented you on something you were recorded earlier,
Starting point is 00:00:21 but I love this shirt light combo you've got going on. We're real games casting right now. It's fantastic. Where can we get that shirt, bless? Oh, you can get it over on funhouse.com slash store. Over there, you can get all the goodies that you can get. It's kind of funny shirt. If you're watching it home, it's a kind of funny shirt.
Starting point is 00:00:37 It's a kind of funny at a con slash store. Yeah, I worked real hard on it. I like it so much, Andy. I'm wearing it, but I got cold. I'm wearing this one, but I'm the cold options. I need to get the white one. I know Joey asks, but I'm just so shocked whenever Joey does ask whenever we, whenever it's work.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Like, I just didn't see it in time. I want to get the white one. That beautiful voice you hear is the designer of the shirts emblazoned across Blessing and Greg's body, the nitro rifle, Andy Cortez. Good afternoon, Tim. I ate some chicken cato curry from Volcano curry. Barrett, I took a risk.
Starting point is 00:01:11 I got hot and it was a little too much of a risk. That is not a risk. We flew too close to the sun. Thanks for the end by there, bud. I feel it. I mean, well, here's it, Bear. We stopped. No, dude.
Starting point is 00:01:23 We stopped with the stream like at 220, and then I got to fucking think of E3 things. Andy, if you even fucking think about Volcano Curie. Uber eats. You know that the McDonald's, The Nug policy, the office, we hold that with each other for Volcano Curry. I always text you when we're all. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:44 All right, dude. Yeah, I don't. You never signed the Curry Accords. It hurts. It hurts, Andy. You may have, you may have legally avoided me today, but it still hurts me inside. I just want you to know. How does it make you feel one of the coolest dudes in video games, Greg Miller?
Starting point is 00:01:59 I love seeing drama. I love seeing them tear each other apart. This is what we don't get to see between Blessing and Michael Hyam. right like we know they fight non-stop like cats and dogs like two muskrats in a burlap sack but we don't get to see it because you know michael's only on one piece of kind of funny content every two months for some reason because he has a different job but here and barrett we just get to watch we get to step you know i've ever had one disagreement with michael oh yeah don't lie to me surprising how little we've ever like that's what we've never even asked each other to do dishes like we are we get along
Starting point is 00:02:34 very well. Yeah, that's what I said about Lucy James and then one day it's just over. So there you go. You know what I mean? Read between the lines blessing out of you. She left the whole country. I know, right? This is the kind of funny games cast where each and every week we get together to talk about video games and all the things that we love about them. And this
Starting point is 00:02:50 is a very, very special episode. It is our annual official bets and predictions for E3 season. Very exciting stuff. You can watch it on YouTube.com slash kind of funny games or roosterteeth.com. If you want to get it as a podcast, search your favorite podcast service for Kind of Funny Gamescast and we'll be right there for you.
Starting point is 00:03:10 But if you want to get the show ad free, if you want to watch it live as it's being recorded. And if you want to get the exclusive post show, you've got to go to patreon.com slash kind of funny games, just like our Patreon producers of which we have a new crew now. Donovan Harkness, Omega 3, Tyler Ross, Delaney twinning, Julian the Gluten Free Gamer, James Hastings, Casey Andrew, and Elliot. Welcome all of them as Patreon producers for the month of June. Thank you so very, very much for your support. We appreciate it. We're brought to you by Human But I will tell you about that later. Human butt?
Starting point is 00:03:47 It's going to be a good one, boys. So here's the deal. As of recording, it is June 1st right now. We are in the month of June. We are weeks away from E3, depending on how you look at it. It already started, right? It's already started, E3. Exactly, exactly.
Starting point is 00:04:02 So here's how this is going to work. Normally, we'd come here and each give five predictions for each conference, but because as of June 1st, we still don't even know what the conferences are. It's kind of a confusing time. We know that we got, of course, Ubisoft Forward, right? That's happening on June 12th, Saturday at noon. Then we know we're getting the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, Sunday, June 13th at 10 a.m. But besides that, we don't really know anything.
Starting point is 00:04:30 So what we're going to do is each one of us is bringing 10 predictions that are about anything. And we have to give as much detail as we would like. As always, there are partial credit points that you get, but we're also allowed to add our own disclaimers on and butts and including all the words to play the game
Starting point is 00:04:47 like one Greg Miller loves to do. Ain't that right? Ands and butts, well, yeah, if you're trying to, you know, get out here and get all the little points, win by a tenth of a point, Andy. If you want to play their game right, Andy. I'm not going to play the game right at all. So it's exciting times. I always love this.
Starting point is 00:05:04 It's one of my favorite shows we do every year. And how this one's going to work is it's predictions for anywhere between today and before opening night live happens. That is August 24th, 2021. Jeff Keeley has not talked about that as the N cap to summer game fest. He's very much talking about it as more of a beginning of another thing. So for our predictions, it's any E3 event, any summer game fest mess event up until August 24th, that we are allowed to make our predictions about. Is that clear?
Starting point is 00:05:34 Does that feel good to everybody here? It's clear and I understand. Yes. Fantastic. Then we're going to go around. I will break some rules. I just need to, like, not knowingly. It's clear to me the rules, but I may forget.
Starting point is 00:05:48 I may forget. God, I love Andy. I love having them here on this year, Catap Money Gamescast. Andy, let's start with you. Why the fuck not? What is your first prediction? Okay, sorry, other rule is if somebody takes a prediction, you can't use the same prediction, but you can use one of your predictions as a different version of one of their predictions.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Oh, 1,000 percent. I'm going to be changing so many of y'all's predictions. You can iterate. I'm going to do so much the, I'll take, I think that's $400. I'm going to do the $401. I'm going to do the wheel of fortune thing to so many of you all the day. Can't wait. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Do you think somebody ever fought about that? Like, if I was on prices, right? Oh, I would throw hands, but. somebody said 401. Like, I'm looking at that. I'm, I'm whispering right now. Wheel of Fortune, my bed.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Yeah, I'm wishing them. Like, oh, after. That's pretty fucked up. How dare you do that in front of my family who's in the stands right now? I've got to me. I'm very proud of it. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Stop stalling, Andy. My first prediction. Boo! Crappy prediction. Similar to how epic games made Infinity Blade and it was like exclusive for iOS, I think a third party studio will make a game exclusively for the, Switch Pro. It's going to be like the thing that Nintendo puts out to kind of be like, hey, check out
Starting point is 00:07:04 to get the Switch Pro everybody. I don't know who's going to make it. Don't hear and ask me questions, right? But that's my first prediction. We'll get some random third party game, but it'll be a developer of note, like a remedy or something like, like it'll be somebody that we know. And they are making the game exclusively before the Nintendo Switch Professional Edition with Microsoft Office Business Class.
Starting point is 00:07:23 What a shitty name. So to be clear then, your prediction is an exclusive. third party game on the Nintendo Switch Pro. Or whatever the Nintendo Switch ends up. It'll only work on that Switch Pro. Yeah. Wow. So it won't work on the regular Switch. Correct. Correct. Wow. Yeah. Let's go over. Let's talk about this. Greg. What do you think the chances are of that?
Starting point is 00:07:42 That's a good prediction. I like that. I do think that makes sense. Especially putting somebody like a remedy on it. I think that would make a lot of sense in terms of, hey, we're Nintendo. We're taking this seriously. This thing can do more. We want you to be excited for it. Here's something that's outside of what you traditionally expect from us and what we'd expect from Nintendo Switch lineup. I like that one, and he gets me excited. And maybe it's not even a brand new game. Maybe it is a port of a game currently that runs on, you know, the current consoles, but they wanted to show off, you know, maybe it is control, actually. That is the cloud edition. Fuck the cloud edition, right?
Starting point is 00:08:15 We're not working in the cloud. We're done with the cloud. We're on planet Earth. Okay. On Earth. All right. We tried. It didn't work. We hate the cloud. It's raining up in the cloud. I'm trying to do it. I guess what we're saying. I was going to say that there's 0% chance of that happening because I don't think you would want, as Nintendo, I don't think you're going to have Switch Pro exclusives. I think it will be like the PlayStation 4 Pro or the Xbox 1X where you are just having those standard upgrades or standard updates for games that make them run better. But I do like the idea. Control is a very interesting example because I do like the idea of them being like, okay, no, this will run natively exclusively on the Switch Pro. but we will have a cloud version of the same game available on the original switch.
Starting point is 00:09:03 That way they can get away with saying like, oh, no, it's on the switch, but if you want to play it, play it, you got to get the Switch Pro. I think that'd be an interesting thing. Remember bless on Kind of Funny Games daily, we coined the term WNDs, similar to WMD's Women's of Master'sruction, but this is weird Nintendo decisions. Yeah. And Nintendo is known for the WNDs.
Starting point is 00:09:23 So if they put a game that was only available on this new switch, I wouldn't be shocked in the least. Like they just do the dumbest shit all the time. I'm 6040 on it, 60 being that I do think there will be exclusive Switch Pro games. And I do think that there will be big third-party ones as well. I think that's actually where a lot of that could come from because the third-party games don't run great on the base model switch.
Starting point is 00:09:47 So kind of like it being a little bit more higher tier, if that's the direction you want to take, wouldn't be surprised. But I don't know about new exclusive games. Things like control, I think make more sense to me than, you know, brand new from the, ground up third-party experience is built for the switch pro unless it's a big partnership chatt started getting all wacky over here they were talking out a mario plus rabbits again maybe either not a sequel or maybe a version for the switch pro of that or some kind of you know
Starting point is 00:10:12 improved version mario plus rabbit's plus sonic oh god i like uh siphon filter why the fuck not logan i want to be blessing let's go with your first finally revealed. It's coming this fall. It features an unexpected big name voice actor and looks like a surprising step up from the previous games. That's my prediction, but I do have a get hype modifier. It's a parody of watchdogs slash cyberpunk is going to have an interesting like future world aesthetic that goes hard on tech that is parroting both cyberpunk and watchdogs. That's very creative. That's very good. Thank you. I could buy it. Who do you? you think the unexpected big name actor would be?
Starting point is 00:11:03 I don't know. Like, it could be, it could be a Troy Baker. It could be like, I don't know that. I know that doesn't feel unexpected, but I don't think you expect that in a Saints Real Game per se. It could be that, or it could be a movie actor. I don't know who, though.
Starting point is 00:11:15 I don't know. One of the previous ones they got. No, I have a different thing in that front. Don't just give one my fucking predictions. I already had this one. I already had this one. I said June 11th at the, at, what is it? Coke, Coke.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Coke Media Prime Time. Coke Media Prime. primetime. Hot on the heels of Saints Row the third remastered again. Volition announced Saints Row Vendetta. No release date and it's not this, but it's not this year. What do you get that name from? Saints Row 5. What's the word that would start with V that you put in there? Because I think they want to obviously continue the legacy of Saints Row. They want that to be the wink and the nod that there's a five there, but I don't think they want to say five at this point when I've heard Saints Row 3 so many fucking times and Saints Row 4 so many
Starting point is 00:11:55 fucking times and get out of it. Like I think they'd want to just get into a more modern space with. And I think I couldn't, you know, could be Saints Row vagina, I guess. Saints Row Virginia. The St. Roe View and it's got Barbara Marlbara Walters. But I'm going to go vendetta. St.R. Vendetta. You're in a mood today, boys. To add, I want to add an exponent. All right. Get hype to get hype squared moment. You asked me earlier to him, who's the, who's the surprise voice actor? Or who's, yeah, who's a surprise voice actor? As a reminder, Keith David was in one of the, previous Saints Real Games
Starting point is 00:12:27 as kind of a parody to Mass Effect because they did the whole Mass Effect thing I think in Saints Row 4 this time Norman Redis Wow Norman Reus is in the next Saints Real game Okay He's itching to get back to games
Starting point is 00:12:41 Yeah he's been dying for it It's been enough you know I was supposed to be in two games by this point Time for my third By the way weird death shanning reference in that Beau Burns In the Bo Burns special I kind of fucking loved it Was not expecting then.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Greg. Yeah, buddy. What's your number one? So here's the thing I want to call out. Number one, we usually start the show with this. But remember again, kind of funny rules declare that if you know something, you can't predict something. So I would do want to, even though I'm hosting E3 this year, and even though I know nothing at the current moment of what is actually getting announced, I just want that on the record. So that if it turns out St.
Starting point is 00:13:15 St. Ventetta is a thing. People aren't like, he fucking leaked it. I don't fucking know. All right. So here's, I'm getting, I'm playing fast and loose with the rules here. All right? Of course you are.
Starting point is 00:13:26 But I will, I mean, because here, we're already, we are already in E3, we said, right? We're already going. Anything happens here. We're in Thunderdome, right? Yeah. Then ladies and gentlemen, get excited. The most electrifying man at sports entertainment is coming to video games officially, finally. It is true.
Starting point is 00:13:45 On June 7th, the primal season of Fortnite will end. They will reveal the rock is the foundation. Of course, that was my 10. Oh, it gets way better than this. there's a couple in here too that like fucking obviously that's been that's not even really the prediction so much right that we've known that the rock is the foundation forever from our detective work on kind of funny games daily when we saw him you know instagramming and then jeff and laura liking it that was a giveaway we knew then obviously other people have done articles as
Starting point is 00:14:12 well i'm not saying that's the real prediction when i where it gets spicy because i do want the half point for that of course what it where it gets spicy ladies and gentlemen is that this blows open the doors to the brand new season of fortnight fortnight fortnight Hollywood, maybe Fortnite Blockbuster. But it is, they are doubling down on the, the primal sucks. This sucks. Who wants a, who wants a fucking raptor running around? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:14:34 Nobody wants, kids don't want this. I'm Roger McCordy, I think it's great. If the dinosaurs don't have feathers, nobody gives a shit anymore, right? Because kids are getting this brain earworms from their teachers. It's about dinosaurs being big chickens. You know what I mean? Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:14:48 So this time we go into what a kids love. They love the big motion pictures. They love the Hollywood. So it's the rock. He's the foundation. They do. You know they do. You know they do. This kicks open the season for Hollywood slash blockbuster, whatever they're going to call it.
Starting point is 00:15:02 And you get all sorts of Hollywood tie-ins and stuff like that. It opens the door for Fortnite to collaborate with more movie studios. Tim, you'll be excited. There will be a Fast and Furious crossover here. There has to be for Fast 9. And you also get various versions of the rock. You will get Fannie Pack Rock from this. And everybody will be very excited.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Oh, that'll be a costume variation. Right. And I wouldn't be surprised if you see WWW. involved here too and that's where you can maybe in Xavier Wood's skin or something like that. Wow. Interesting. All your rock predictions might finally pay off here, Craig. Every year,
Starting point is 00:15:34 every year I say the Rock's going to be in a video game and this time take it to the bank, ladies and gentlemen here's what I want you to do. If you have a firstborn and man, I wish I did but I don't so I can't take place. But if you have a firstborn, you bet it in Vegas because let me tell you can take this onto the bank.
Starting point is 00:15:50 What are they getting back? I don't know. I didn't The child away? Yeah, I don't know. Well, I call Vegas right now, Andy. Find out what a kid's worth. I don't go to Vegas. I don't know what's happening.
Starting point is 00:16:01 It seems more like a black market time thing. Yeah, I don't think you do that in Vegas. All right. I'm going to start off with my number one. And I'm going to go big here. This one's fucking crazy. But I think it's going to happen. A big, huge game, third party game will be coming day one to Xbox game pass.
Starting point is 00:16:20 And Microsoft will make a big deal of it. This game will be either Battlefield 6, Final Fantasy 7 remake Intergrade, or persona 5. Get the fuck out of here with this persona 5 stuff. There's some weird stuff there with the day one. Because the game's out. But anyways, one of those three will be coming to Xbox. I really like the Battlefield. That's a very interesting take on it.
Starting point is 00:16:57 That's a really interesting one because they already have the EA Origins account, or whatever they call it, whatever they call it EA's EA play. Yeah, especially on PC when you get that stuff for free or just included or whatever. And EA's probably sick of losing money on Battlefield. They're like, all right, fine. You pay for some of this shit? Go ahead. There you go.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Yeah, that's really where this came from for me, where I was like, Battlefield is not what it used to be. And it's still a success, but compared to seeing call of duty kind of evolve into what it has with Warzone and everything around that. I feel like them getting on Game Pass would be a big boon for getting a good player base there. And, you know, people interested, more people interested in something that they're obviously going to be pushing really hard. Warzone, you got John McLean, you got Rambo. We got who, who, who does Battlefield have? Any ideas?
Starting point is 00:17:46 They have bad. Paul Giamatti. Ernest and Paul Giamatti. Ernest goes to step and Paul Giumadi the actor. Not him playing a character, just Paul Giumari. I was going to say Paul Giamatti from sideways, but then I couldn't get to that movie fast enough. So I was just like Paul Giamatti, the actor.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Hey, I'm Paul Giamari. You might remember me as the rhino. What am I doing in this war-torn landscape? I hated Merlo, it's sideways. Do you remember the movie sideways? You ever heard of this movie? No, no, I've not seen. I've not heard of Sideways now.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Sideways it stands out as like one of those. I was like, oh man, that's a, that was an indie movie kind of thing. That took the world. That must have been fucking 2005. You must have not even been cognizant of theaters. 2004, it looks like. 2004. Thomas Hayden Thursday.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Oh, is it not Tom Cruise? No, Thomas Hayden Church. Sandman from Spider-Man from Spider-Man 3. Tom Cruise is a movie. Oh, shit. Clarify my prediction here. The day one would only be for a battlefield, obviously. to the other two wouldn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:18:51 But at E3, it would be announced that 5-707 integrate or Persever 5 would be coming to game pass at some point this year. Blessing, prediction number two. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, Andy, prediction number two. At the Microsoft Bethesda Conference, gosh, now I'm wondering, like,
Starting point is 00:19:10 do they even focus on non-Bethesda things? But I think they do. I think we get a full deep dive of Everwild. Full deep dive showing us exactly what the gameplay is it's not just this trailer with ambiguous sort of what the hell's happening in here we get exactly what it is we're told what to expect um how it should look on you know on pc and it's full crossplay on xbox series x and all that jazz and it'll be spring 2022 little window a little window for you right there and we finally get answers on it what the hell is a stupid game we've been
Starting point is 00:19:44 wondering forever to people from see if these obviously it looks gorgeous it looks cute as hell What are you doing with this? What's this big Pokemon you're running around doing? You got a big bear kind of with you. Is he your friend or foe? We learned everything. Will we learn if the bear is friend or foe? Foe turned out as a foe.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Oh, shit. I hate to see it. It's unfortunate, I know. Wow. What do you guys think? Greg? Every while? Getting a trailer?
Starting point is 00:20:13 Yeah. Getting a full deep dive. Like one of those like, this is the world of ever one. wild, you know, like one of those sort of things. I mean, I don't, I feel like Xbox would do with more panache than that, but I could see it. Yeah, I think do you have a shot at that? How long have we wouldn't hear about ever while?
Starting point is 00:20:28 I feel like we've been hearing for a while. There's good buzz around it, all eyes on them trying to prove why. I think it was so 19 that it was announced. How long do we consider a deep dive? Like what, like, what's the line between gameplay trailer and deep dive? Well, a trailer, I think is just a trailer where it can be. When I think of a trailer right off the bat Xbox wise, I'm thinking like stated a K3. Remember when we saw that trailer.
Starting point is 00:20:48 and like the woman, grail's of the wolf, and then there's a deer she has to shoot. That's a trailer. Deep dive is like, here's the mechanics of ever wild, and you're doing this. And look at this guy.
Starting point is 00:20:58 He sure does have a hat. So a deep dive can be four minutes long. Yeah, I'd say so. I think you're going to be shorter than that too. I think it's definitely more than a trailer. We've gotten that before. We've gotten the gameplay in-game engine. This is what you're seeing is running on a series X or whatever.
Starting point is 00:21:12 We're going to get a bit more than that. We're going to get more context as to what it is. I can see that. I think, well, for sure. get we'll get something with everwild I think it'll be somewhere between a gameplay trailer and a deep dive so I can for sure see that and I can see you. I'm not talking about like a
Starting point is 00:21:26 I'm not talking a Splatoon Nintendo directing that lasts for 18 minutes with you know and run over here and this is the MPC and she'll do it. No, I'm not talking like that deep of a narration sort of thing but it'll definitely be in the middle of that. It'll be more than just a gameplay thing. I'm really interested
Starting point is 00:21:42 in the Microsoft Bethesda showcase because I'm kind of torn on are they going to focus on just the things that they're really ready to talk about or are they really going to be like we're putting it all on the table here's our teams and here's what they're working on and like talk about things like indiana jones and ever wild potentially of like where it's at like boom boom boom boom here's all of the shit on the table of what we have so far what we've even talked about just to get people excited about game pass and all that stuff because if not i i i don't know if ever wild's going to be
Starting point is 00:22:12 there but that's yeah that's it that was kind of my worry was but i do think we will get more than just what Bethes is doing. I think we'll get several games out in the summer that are, or, you know, during E3, that are similar to what happened when Andrea talked to Vince Amel and was like, hey, so you're making a Star Wars game. What's up with that? Sure am. Like, I think we'll get shit like that where it's just weird reveals like, oh, what? They're doing a, oh, cool, that's neat.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Interesting. We have nothing to show you. We'll show you something when we're ready. Like, I think we're going to have that in a lot of spaces, especially for a lot of these studios that maybe just started working on games that don't have shit to show but want to hype things up. Well, it looks like they are doing the thing where they're separating Bethesda out from Xbox. And so I assume you're going to have it be the first hour and a half to two hours is Xbox and the last hour is going to be Bethesda. And from reports, it seems like Starfield is going to be the centerpiece of the Bethesda show. And from what we know of
Starting point is 00:23:06 reports, Starfield is probably not until fall 2022. And so if I'm Microsoft slash Bethesda, I'm probably looking at what does the next year and a half look like, right? What's 2021 and 2022 look like? And I'm focusing on those. And I think across those, you have a good handful of announcements, right? Like, depending on where Wofenstein's at, but you do have
Starting point is 00:23:26 Everwild, you theoretically have Hellblade 2. That's going to be ready by next year. You have you maybe have the Indiana Jones game depending on where that's at. But I think they'll have enough there. I think they'll have, I don't know if they're going to lay out every single studio.
Starting point is 00:23:43 because I'm sure not every single studio is going to have stuff that is prepared to show for the next few years. But I think you'll have like maybe your avals or things that are already announced that might be further out that they'll be down to talk about a little bit or show an additional trailer. Yeah, I think it's going to be stuff that's almost ready, not almost ready, but almost ready in terms of video games where it's like we have a trailer to show you even if it's not, it is just, it is another state of decay thing, like a tease. But I don't think they're going to do what you were talking about, Tim, of like a deep dive, kind of like that EA presentation they did. a couple years ago that was like here's things that are like in gray scale and people are still working on this in Maya and it's like this studio is working on something they think you'd like
Starting point is 00:24:20 I don't think you're going to get into that kind of the weeds that way you might get a sizzle reel of like and there's plenty more coming when we saw that one game that then got canceled. Yeah right yeah like I don't think you're going to see perfect dark because perfect dart feels like it's it's far out but like they have so many studios at this point that I don't think they need to right like I think they just need
Starting point is 00:24:39 to populate like what does this year look like what is the next year look like and we'll work from there and you'll see us again next year where we'll talk about 2023 and beyond. Yeah. Beyond. Blessing. Number two. Oh, all right.
Starting point is 00:24:53 All right. I got a lot of predictions here and some of them aren't going to make it because I'm still, I'm still thinking. You can give me your extras. I didn't have a whole lot of time. Okay, I'll DM you. I'll DM you. Thank you. I'm going to do one that is basically confirmed, but is still somewhat of a rumor.
Starting point is 00:25:08 So I feel like I'm cheating, but Greg kind of just did that and so I think it's going to be fine. Final Face the Origin, a Dark Soul style game developed by Team Ninja is announced that Square Inex is showcased. It's a PlayStation console exclusive. We're not given a date, but we'll get a demo announced for the summer. My get hype prediction is going to be that at least one outlet will brand the game as an Eldon Ring killer. I love. Great, great prediction. I love the details here. Oh, there's Timor. Literally on Q, Tumor Hussain in the chat, say Eldon Ring, you cowards. I love it. I love it. wouldn't be surprised about much of that
Starting point is 00:25:48 the exclusive demo in the summer or not exclusive demo just a demo I don't know about that part don't doubt you don't think they have the stuff you don't think they have the balls I don't think they do the cahones what would the demo be called
Starting point is 00:26:07 Final Fantasy it was a report about it I think it was like Paradise something hold on let me see if I can find the fan bite report damn because I was hoping we didn't get like the actual name. I was hoping it would just be project something. One of those sort of things. We're getting project something.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Project to Octopaths, right? Project Origins, and then it comes out as Final Fantasy origins. So the reported name for the demo is Stranger in Paradise. Of course, that could change, you know, and it could also not come out, but I'm going to roll with that. That sounds Final Fantasyish. That sounds
Starting point is 00:26:37 along the lines is something that they would brand. Stranger in Paradise. Yeah, I didn't realize that there was Rub was about a demo, too. So okay, maybe that is a little bit more likely. Greg number three. Number two. Looking over here, all right.
Starting point is 00:26:53 I just want to see one thing before I commit that. I have a bunch of boring ones where I just get the points I win. Everybody's seen that. Everybody's seen that. Save the exciting stuff for the end, Greg. Save the exciting stuff. Well, I mean, I got bangers left and right. Alright. Okay. How about you send you some to?
Starting point is 00:27:09 Okay. I'll send you some stuff. It's time. It's time. He's going to say the words. It's Bioshock time, ladies gentlemen. Wow. Let's see a teaser trailer for what Cloud Chamber
Starting point is 00:27:22 is working on in the land of Bioshock. It's at sea an island environment. Interesting. I think it's kind of got like a them mascara thing going on where it's an island kind of forgotten about, left to its own devices, whatever crazy, weird ass world their buildup
Starting point is 00:27:39 or anything else what's happening. Are there no men in this island? No, we're not that committed to it. We're not that committed to it. that committed to it, you know what I mean? But they do have a mother box. It just heads up. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:27:49 So it's on you. What are you doing? It's on you if you want to lock this in as part of the chair of your prediction or just you're just having fun here. But where do we see that? Oh, I see what you're saying. I think that and again, I have no inside knowledge at all. I would imagine that I don't think 2K is going to have their own presentation.
Starting point is 00:28:11 So I imagine it's just something on the E3 show I'm hosting. Again, I don't have inside of research. I swear to God. I wouldn't make the prediction if I did. I would just think that that's one of the interstitials that, you know.
Starting point is 00:28:22 All right, Jackie, what do you have from the people over in cloud or, you know, 2K or whatever? I guess, yeah, where would they have made
Starting point is 00:28:27 the initial announcement? I'll see the initial announcement happened. Does 2Ks's logo and Jeff Keeley's summer game fest thing? Because Jeff Keeley does have that kickoff.
Starting point is 00:28:33 It was, I believe it was. It is right there that thought. Jsick in the live chat puts out something. Put over on E3, take two interactive, has got their logo two
Starting point is 00:28:42 for E3. They just put out Bioshock 3. Do you think, I don't think they label it Bioshock or do you think they get with it, Gregi. Did they just call it?
Starting point is 00:28:49 It's Bioshock. It's Bioshock and it's some kind of subtitle. You know what I mean? Vandetta. Bioshock me all that long. Yeah. Okay. Bioshock Vendetta.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Yeah. There we go. Vendetta origins. Now here's my next one. Again, I'm trying to start off with some like more fun ones than the easy shit. So I'm going to say
Starting point is 00:29:09 it's Microsoft's Xbox Showcase, right? Obsidian, avowed, blah, blah, blah. That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is obsidian announcing Outer Worlds 2. Oh, wow. He thought he's going to New Vegas, too?
Starting point is 00:29:25 I thought you're going to say Fallout. I think we're going to get Outer Worlds 2. I was looking it up. First game exceeded publishers' expectations. The game sold more than 2.5 million copies from launch until February 2020. So we've had a whole year since then. That doesn't even take any consideration to switchport
Starting point is 00:29:41 that came out after that. So I think that those are good enough numbers, especially for one of the games that kind of started the big games on GamePass stuff. I can see them wanting to continue that. And who knows, like it being a sequel, how iterative it will be, how much it just builds off the original. But I think we'll see Outer Worlds 2 at the Xbox Showcase. Do you guys feel like Microsoft feels any sort of way about owning both Outer Worlds and Fallout? Because those are two very similar properties. Because Outer Worlds very much is Obsidian being like,
Starting point is 00:30:15 yo, let's make our own fallout. And so I wonder if they're like trying to, I wonder if there's any encouragement from Microsoft till I get Obsidian to make a New Vegas too or get them to use that IP instead of Outer Worlds because you imagine you probably get more sales out of a Fallout than in Outer Worlds. Or if they're just like, no, we'll just let Bethes to operate by themselves.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Let's not muddy up anything that they're doing. Let's let them do their thing. I think that they're going to be a little bit more lax with them and not say like, no, we got to get you all on an old sort of, let's get New Vegas too going. I don't think, I don't see that happening. I feel like they kind of are really excited about what Obsidian can cook up. And also the fact that outer world is, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:58 futuristic space travel type shit as opposed to the brown grit and grime of fallout and just dirty kind of shit, you know. I think that they, you know, especially for the way Xbox has talked about partnering with Bethesda here, you know, owning Bethesda. I think that not that there was necessarily, you know, hurt feelings or bad mojo between Obsidian and Bethesda, but I do think that Obsidian has to some degree a chip on their shoulder, right?
Starting point is 00:31:28 Where it is like we want to prove that we can do something on our own and make our name. And then, you know, maybe we should have been able to continue with Fallout. But you remember when the first trailer for Outer World dropped and it was taking shots at Fallout. out. You know what I mean? Like the way they presented that. Like they want to stick to making their very single player. This is what we're doing, a traditional Western RPG. And yeah, like you're talking about the space stuff. Like they obviously have a world and universe they're building there. And so now to have Microsoft and Xbox behind you, to have GamePass behind you, to have an audience that's expecting that from you. I think it's kind of the best of both
Starting point is 00:32:02 worlds where they can go make what they want. And then also, Bethesda can sit there and really let Fallout Marinate. Number one as Fallout 7, which does have an audience and does continue to get crazy updates and do things to it. And number two, that when they get to, you know, fall at five, for lack of a better term, that it still has the pop because it is still fallout. It isn't something that you've already seen between 76. You saw the obsidian fallout. Now you're getting fallout five.
Starting point is 00:32:26 I don't think you want to get in the way of that. I like the idea of them being like, you thought we bought you obsidian so that you could make new games. No, we wanted you to stop talking shit. This is how we silence. What do you guys think about my prediction, though, out of our worlds too? it's weird to me because I don't know how those teams get segmented right when I think about them working on on about and how big of a project that's going to be I don't see the only reason it's believable to me is that a lot of studios do that thing where they work on a smaller type title to kill time and also make money for the next big title which will be avowed I wouldn't be shocked if it did happen Tim, I do think that it has a like a 60% chance possibility. Didn't they just put up more D.L.C.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Yeah, for Outer Worlds, they did. That would make me too early. It was just too early for it. I'd be my one thing. I think you will get an Outer Worlds too. Just not announced soon. I think that's something you announced maybe after you do you put out a valid because they're also working on grounded and to be working on all three.
Starting point is 00:33:35 I forgot about grounded. I think that would be a lot for them. That is a good question. because it only came out in early access, right? Yeah, I liked in early access, but I'd be stoked to see, hey, it's finally done, done. Here's the update you need to know.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I was scared with Craig when we played that game, big spiders. Remember that? Spiders. But we had a good time that night. Had a great time. We never touched it again. No.
Starting point is 00:33:56 I think I see a vowed as being a bigger thing. Yeah. So I think they would put that out and then announce outer worlds too. Andy, number three. This is a wild one. But I think, think we get huge details on whatever this Donkey Kong rumored game is.
Starting point is 00:34:16 This brand new Donkey Kong rumored game. It'll be like I don't know if it's if we're going to see anything. Oh, yeah, we will. You think we will? Yeah. It's rumored to be a 2D game. Yeah. I feel like the fact that like things are coming out about it,
Starting point is 00:34:36 I feel like Nintendo like wants to show that soon. Yeah, but at WND. these weird Nintendo. Yeah, you're right. Like, whatever you think the answer is, think the opposite is how I feel sometimes. But yeah, I do think that
Starting point is 00:34:50 it will either get announced. You all think it'll be shown. So let me bump that to a shown. We'll see it. We'll see what the hell it is. This was one of my predictions that I'm going to give up to you, but I'm going to add some
Starting point is 00:35:02 some stakes to it, Andy. Do you think they introduce a new Kong? Yes. Thousand percent, thousand percent. Hell yeah. And it'll be Jinky Kong Nuki Kong
Starting point is 00:35:16 and it's it's Freddurst Wow The red backwards hat Yeah Oh no Do we Does anyone have
Starting point is 00:35:26 Adding to That's Andy's prediction Locked in But does anyone have any predictions That don't count But they just want to put out there for this game
Starting point is 00:35:33 I think it'll play off of like the tropical freeze name I think that it'll be like tropical something or something like that Paradise Paradise. Paradise breeze.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Tropical breeze. Tropical breeze is good. Plus. I'm going to predict the opposite thing. I think it'll be a big shift from the 2D Donkey Kong games that we've gotten already. I think it'll be,
Starting point is 00:35:51 because this is rumored to be worked on by the Mario Odyssey team, you know, so it's not being worked on by retro. And so I think they'll want to own it and make it something that feels original to them. And so I think, I don't know how they do it,
Starting point is 00:36:03 but I think something about it will strike us as, oh shit, this is a different kind of 2D Donkey Kong game, but I think it'll still be hyped. I'm with Bless there, and one of the predictions I had written down was that the 2D Donkey Kong game from Tad is going to be totally different than Donkey Kong country. And the way it's going to be different is it's going to be a much more adventure focused and platforming like collectathon, but a 2D version of a rare type game. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:32 So imagine even like a Spalunky, but instead of it being a roguelike being incredibly well designed through and through everything. every single thing. Like an open world 2D. Exactly. So like an open world, we're talking like guacamole-esque type of type of design. Yeah. And so exactly.
Starting point is 00:36:49 And that's my thing. But like this is, I think the defining feature of it is it'll be less of a Metroidvania and more of a focus on platforming. Like that's where the classic Donkey Kong style stuff might come in. But I can also see them adding it with a little bit more of like the old school Donkey Kong gameplay of like the Game Boy Donkey Kong. decon game from 94 or a you know more like puzzle based type situations that are platforming puzzling
Starting point is 00:37:16 but it's really based on big 2D maps where you're collecting a bunch of shit i'm excited could be cool i love that um blessing um do i go for the obvious ones that's the question do you want to win bless yes but i also want to be spicy at the same time let me some spice for this one bro I want to have some character. Don't be like point extra Andy over here. Games will be announced and rated by the ESRB. Get out of here. All right, I'm going to have some fun.
Starting point is 00:37:53 During the Netflix geeked week gaming show, the Netflix orational Devil May Cry anime from Adi Shankar gets its first trailer and it's coming this year. Holy shit. And then as like a get-hyped one, also at the geeked week gaming show, the Cuphead show gets released date for the summer. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:38:13 With the trailer. With the trailer, yeah. I love it. I love it, Bless, and I feel like you're on to something. I forgot geek tweet was even a thing. Yeah, they just announced it today that they're doing their, a gaming show specifically as part of Summer Game Fest, and so they're going to have something to show.
Starting point is 00:38:31 That's good. I'm also very excited for both of those projects. Greg. Number three. Not a fucking peep about Prince of Persia. of the sands of time at ubyself forward that's so similar to one of mine thrown right into the fucking ubysoft dungeon where you will not hear about this game with skull and bones yeah exactly right yeah uh so with that you're saying not at ubsop forward
Starting point is 00:39:02 but do you think there's a chance we see it at all this summer no damn fucking take your time, do this shit right, because that shit did not look right. We all saw it. We all know. We all do know. That's so close to one of mine. Can I just go next?
Starting point is 00:39:25 I was just going to say there's not a fucking peep about Beyond Good and Evil, too. I don't think we see anything about it. And we all at the same time, we'll exclaim, where's Beyond Good and Evil too? We'll say it all at the same time. We got to be fair for that. Where the hell is? I do think that Ubisoft's kind of set up an interesting.
Starting point is 00:39:44 place for itself in the industry where their E3 conference, it's not all eyes on it. So it's not like there's been a whole year of us kind of waiting and it's the only place they can announce games. So them doing forwards multiple times a year, I think kind of lessens the, well, if it's not here, it's not going to be anywhere. It's kind of more like they've been focusing more on the imminent future of their games. So I would be that surprised that I agree on this one. Like I don't even tend.
Starting point is 00:40:11 At the EBSoft Showcase, I don't think, I don't really expect. to see anything that is that doesn't have a date that is super far out. What about like quarantine? Rainbow 6? Quarantine I think we'll get like I think anything they announced at EBSOT forward is going to come with some sort of date. Okay. I don't think we get anything that's like, oh
Starting point is 00:40:30 Splinter Cell exists. You know, I don't think we're going to get any of those. Does anyone want to predict what they rename to count as one of their predictions? Does anyone want to predict what they rename? Quarantine. Rainbow 6 quarantine. Pandemic.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Not COVID. There was a leaked name, wasn't there? There was art that got put up, but it was they were trying to explain it was just for the theater or whatever. Was it like parasite or? Yeah, there's something like that. I forget exactly what it was. It'll be what it ends up being, but they were, they were definitely trying to play it off.
Starting point is 00:41:02 Like, oh, that's not. That was just for a test we were doing. And then Roger Pocorny brings up Splinter Cell. Sam Fisher will only make an appearance in one game. DLC for Rainbow 6. Oh, yeah. My next one. Ball's the wall, baby. We're doing it.
Starting point is 00:41:22 A Marvel fighting game will be announced. Wow. From Nether Realm. Oh, you're going in on this river. You're biting it. And guys, I'm going to extra step, and I don't give a fuck if I lose points on this. It's Marvel versus DC. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:41:38 They're fucking away. Doing it. You're just fucking imagine. You're fucking amazing. Imagine. Yeah. So if it's just a Marvel game from Nether Realm, then I want, I want partial credit, but I only get full credit if it is Marvel versus DC.
Starting point is 00:41:54 I'll give you full points. I'll give you full points. Thank you. Thank you. Andy already did. So blessing, you're next. I'll do the one that we've all been staying away for some reason. Breath of Wild 2 is launching this fall day and date with the Switch Pro.
Starting point is 00:42:11 That would be so sick. How do you think it's going to run on the old switch? Terribly. Terribly. Yeah. 30 frames, 70, they won't even show any regular switch gameplay of the game.
Starting point is 00:42:24 They're going to act like that. The old switch doesn't even exist. Well, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Because it's not going to run amazingly on the old switch. The part of that that I'm least confident in is for some reason, the day and date
Starting point is 00:42:37 together, I feel like isn't going to actually hit the mark. But I do think that they're, it's going to be close to each other at the very least. if not day and date. But I don't know that it's, it has to be that way. I do think the Breath of Wild 2 will be shown.
Starting point is 00:42:51 I think that it'll be the most, the thing we see most of in Nintendo. The 10th pole. Yeah. Not quite like what Smash Brothers was that one year, but it will be a bigger, deeper dive, probably. It was so hot that morning. If there was like a physical E3,
Starting point is 00:43:08 like how they made New Dong City, like they would be doing something similar for like. Exactly. Breath of the Wild, yeah. I wish Fran was on this show I just always love his confusion during the E3
Starting point is 00:43:23 so like do you guys think we're going to get the Switch Pro announcement before E3 no I mean all those rumors said that right so it's like I think we will I hope so man
Starting point is 00:43:39 I say no I say no pizza bet wow pizza bet points the water everybody I'll take you on the pizza bed because I like giving you pizza and I like getting pizza from you. That's the loudest water pour of all time. Sirens on iron. Water pour is on my end.

Starting point is 00:46:12 That was great. Greg, what are your thoughts? What are your thoughts on breath of a while? I want to believe it makes sense to me. One of my possible predictions is against such information, but I don't want to spend it unless I have to spend it because I don't fully believe in it, but I have it in there because I need to.
Starting point is 00:46:32 You know what I mean? It's spicy with it. I'm more right now for the conversation before we deviate too far, even though we had an ad break in there. It's like I'm more of the, yeah, I don't want the Switch Pro to get announced before E3. I want that to be an E3 announcement. But I do believe the rumors that it would be that does again.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Andy, what do you call on the weird Nintendo decisions? WNDs, yeah. Yeah, WND. That'd be a WND, right? Get it out before there so you can then get people hype for your conference like they wouldn't watch it to begin with, but then they tune in to see what that's all about and be a part of that. That makes sense to me.
Starting point is 00:47:02 But I hope I'd rather be cool. You know what? I cannot picture it happening at E3 in any sort of presentation. The only reason why is because Nintendo loves to show off their hardware and why it's fun and all of the upgrades here just seem to be technical upgrades and you know better resolution faster processing nvita car d ls s it's all the sort of boring tech shit and when i think of nintendo showing off hardware i think of like look this is the joy this is the joycon here's what it does here and like the hardware isn't fundamentally changing it's just getting better and more improved and i can't
Starting point is 00:47:39 really see nintendo doing some sort of n gadget the very diverge hardware deep dive and showing off this new thing. I think it happens before. And I also think that allows, that allows for third party showcases to also have switch games and have us all treat it like, oh shit, this is going to be Switch Pro. Like this is, this is strengthening the presence of the Switch Pro. Like if Ubisoft did have Mario and Rabbit's Kingdom Battle 2, for example, and it's coming out this fall, I think we, in our minds, we contextualize it as a Switch pro game.
Starting point is 00:48:09 But you can't do that if the Nintendo conference is after Ubisoft. Which is also hilarious. I love that it's like a Mario plus Rabbits Kingdom Battle. The game that I think would benefit least from all of those features. Again, WNDDs. Totally. Greg, what's your next one? 12 minutes is finished.
Starting point is 00:48:34 It a release on Xbox PC and Game Pass this August. Wow. Hell yeah. Let's go. Let's see what Willem Defoe's got, you know? Oh my gosh. I can't freaking wait, dude. I saw you tweet about 12 minutes earlier today.
Starting point is 00:48:48 I thought, like, I thought there was some announcement. I got really excited. And I was like, oh, I wonder why he was just thinking about 12 minutes. And now it makes sense. There you go. See? Yeah, that's what I'm putting out there. I'm reminding everybody that we had Louise on in 2015 to talk about this game.
Starting point is 00:49:00 What a long lead up. Holy shit. This game took longer to make than Cyropunk did. Well, he credits us with it. And not in a bad way because, like, we did that less play and that got him in front of more people that led to this Xbox deal that then gave him more money and more. A hundred percent we got a finder speed. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:49:19 If we're not thanked in the credits, you know what everybody does? Take your Xbox. Flip it upside down. Oh, take a photo and it'll be Xbox in distress. Phil Spencer will be getting all these statistics back at his office. Like, oh, my God. This is this crazy event.
Starting point is 00:49:31 All these Xboxes are upside down. Aaron Greenberg's freaking the fuck out. Paris Lily's on the phone. He can't help. Let's see. For my next one, I'm going to go with one that I feel is a fun one
Starting point is 00:49:47 that is a little out of nowhere but also once you hear it is going to be like yeah that totally makes sense Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga we'll probably hear more we'll probably get a firm date
Starting point is 00:49:57 but that's not the only we'll see the only thing we'll see of Lego we will also get the announcement of Legos Marvel's Infinity Saga Oh
Starting point is 00:50:07 there's been a whole bunch of Infinity Saga branded Lego sets and I'm like well guess what that'd be a perfect video game. That'd be really cool. I like that. What do you think that entails like are they doing like specific movies or they're doing their own infinity saga? What do you think, Tim? That's, I mean,
Starting point is 00:50:27 that's interesting. I don't know. I imagine it'll be based on the MCU heavily. So I think that, you know, perfect world. There's 23 missions and each mission, maybe everyone is some key moment of one of the games, not the whole story because that might be a little bit too much. But maybe they treat it more like a platform that grows where they release it bit by bit. Like maybe it's like one, his two, phase three, whatever. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:51 But I do think like it's all the Avengers movies. Maybe some form. I don't know exactly what it's going to be. But I imagine it's going to be a greatest hits of the MCU so far. And it'll be called Infinity Saga. That's cool. I like that. I don't think it'll happen, but it's cool.
Starting point is 00:51:07 I like it. Well, great. I think it will happen. I'm not sure it's going to happen during, during this summer. Yeah, but like, but with the, with the,
Starting point is 00:51:15 with the Legos actually coming out and stuff, I'm like, yeah, there's a chance. And they have their new, uh, engine down with,
Starting point is 00:51:20 uh, Skywalker saga. So I imagine in the same way, once they made the first couple Lego games, they just were like, okay, fuck it. Every year,
Starting point is 00:51:27 there's 10 of them coming out. I can see them being like, all right, what's the next big one after Skywalker saga? Even that's had a lot of issues. And issues being the world went to shit. Uh, next up,
Starting point is 00:51:39 Andy. What number of prediction is this, is this five? This is number five for Andy. I don't care what anybody has said thus far. Okay. I believe in the power of Jesus Christ. Wow.
Starting point is 00:51:49 And I believe in the power of Hidataka Miyazaki. And I believe that we get the, we finally get the full sort of Eldon Ring released trailer that got leaked several months back. Whatever it was like five seconds over or whatever. They would get the full thing of it and it is out this October. You're mad person. This October. Happy Halloween. Bless.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Happy Halloween. trick-a-tree, bless. Chick-tree. That's hard to do because there's a little elder ring for you. I think you're right in terms of the fact we'll get an elder ring trailer.
Starting point is 00:52:23 I'm not going to make the prediction now since you made it, but what I think is what it's going to be is it'll be a shorter trailer. Like it will be the leaked trailers that we've gotten. It'll show a bit of gameplay, but I think it'll be like a two to three minute thing and it'll say 20-22 and that's it. Oh, fuck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:40 I think it'll be like ultimately kind of pointing, but it is like, we'll still be fine with it because it's more eldering. You know, it's like, we've been hungering, we've been thirsting for this information for a while, but afterwards we'll be like, damn, that's really all we got. Ah, no. But wait, even more. It's happening, though. It's happening.
Starting point is 00:52:59 I think zero chance we'll get in October, though. I'll love that, though. October 24th. What day is that? Whoa. It's a Saturday. It doesn't matter. It's just, yeah, it's a Saturday.
Starting point is 00:53:10 It's a random Saturday. We guaranteed it already, Tim. October 24th is a Sunday, actually. Lock it in, lock it in. Miyazaki comes on camera and says, I know you all been waiting. All right. I know this is what you've been waiting for.
Starting point is 00:53:23 And by the way, Bloodborn, you're never going to get a 60 frames patch. All right. Get over it. Move on. Games old. Dodge and parry away.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Greg, what's your next one? No, I don't want to like, you know, throw a wrench in here, but aren't I after Andy? Blessing. You are after Andy.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Go for it. Okay. Exasperated sigh. This is an easy one. And the reason I want to go before Greg is because I know at any point somebody's going to make this prediction. And I just made the breath of wild prediction, which I feel like it's somewhat easy. I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it.
Starting point is 00:54:01 I'm going to make it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to go for points. I'm going to say the word, Starfield. Starfield gets a cinematic trailer followed by a gameplay demo. The game is dated for 2022. That's where we finally hear officially that it is an accident. that is it is an Xbox exclusive.
Starting point is 00:54:19 All right. What was the date you said on it? 2022. Just a year. Just 2022. Just 2022. Trailer, cinematic, and gameplay. Yeah, we go. Are there any details about, you know, the actor or the actress or is it just kind of,
Starting point is 00:54:41 this is what the world is? I think it is, this is what the world is. And we get hints of, the more we see, see it the more we're like, fuck man this is the next mass effect. Like this is what this is, right? This is what we've been hoping for. Yeah, building relationships with characters. Like,
Starting point is 00:54:59 it feels, it feels like it's going out from Mass Effect's throat. Okay. Yeah. I like that. I need you to join me on a journey. Let's do it. Actually, hold on. You take the glasses off. How do you listen? This journey will take you
Starting point is 00:55:19 to Los Angeles, California. All right. The year, I believe, was 2019. A young Greg Miller had just finished hosting EA Play. He climbed into an Uber, shot across the greater Los Angeles area to go host a Ghostbusters panel at the Ghostbusters fan celebration they were doing. Dan Eckroy there was great. Jason Wrightmo was there. It was great.
Starting point is 00:55:42 So all these people walked by. It was great. As I hosted this panel talking about Ghostbusters, the video. game remastered. We were talking there as a team. And it was Sabre interactive, of course, you know, making this remake happening, talking to the head of the Sabre, talking to one of the developers who had originally worked on Ghostbusters remastered.
Starting point is 00:56:03 And he mentioned, of course, that he worked on another infamous game. All right? On my ears perked up, the Sabre guy saw it. We had this moment of like, you should do this. This should be your next thing. At the same time frame-ish, I actually don't know what time frame this was. Hold on. I actually Google an article.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Well, you know what they should strap in, right? Okay, yeah, okay. A month later from basically this happening, right? July 2019, a headline comes across the World Wide Web on Games Industry. That biz, it reads like this. Disney hires former PlayStation portfolio boss to head up games licensing. John Drake says it's an amazing time to bring the worlds of Star Wars, Marvel, and Fox to video games. Ladies and gentlemen, the man on the panel who had worked on Ghost Boehs,
Starting point is 00:56:49 and had now helped Ghostbusters get remastered, also worked on a little game called Simpsons hit and run. Oh my God. Greg Miller. I don't mind swinging for the fences. I love you, Greg. Grace, ladies and gentlemen, you want some inside fucking baseball. Tim, Todd Greg, a fucking idiot on this one so it becomes true.
Starting point is 00:57:13 I don't know. You know, I don't know what's going on over there. You know, when John Drake, he's too busy having babies right now to be signing deals anymore. but he knows that the people of Earth want more Simpsons hit and run, that we need more Simpsons hit and run. That would be an easy deal and easy money for this label to go, hey, we're going to remaster Simpsons hit and Run. We're going to upres and put it out.
Starting point is 00:57:34 We're going to put up some kind of important version of this game out there, right? And we're going to make a few bucks. We're going to show that there's an audience here. Maybe we make another one. Maybe we do something down the line. My prediction here is, yes, that Sabre Interactive, along obviously with a partnership with Disney, is making the Simpsons hit and run remastered remake,
Starting point is 00:57:52 whatever you want to call it or whatever it turns out to be. And you might say, Greg, you're one of the, you're still in Bownown, you still got problems over there. You know what I mean? What I will point out to you is when you go to summer game fest and you look at all the little logos, Andy, what do you see? You see Raw Fury, Riot Games, and Sabre Interactive. Wow, Greg.
Starting point is 00:58:15 I could this just be more, a World War Z-2 maybe and I fucked up, but we'll see. I'm liking it, man. This is, this is great. I know that John Drake just had a baby. Yeah. But I feel like that doesn't stop the announcement.
Starting point is 00:58:25 You should call him right now. I, I assure you I will not do that. Of all the times, I've called John Drake right now, completely fucking worn out from like, I want a 10 day hospital visit or whatever with his wife. And now his big.
Starting point is 00:58:40 We need a whole about Wado. Craig. His four week premature baby. I'm not going to be like, hey, also you're on the podcast. I'm going to sleep in four days. I'm going to, kill you. That's character growth for Greg Miller, everybody. It's happened.
Starting point is 00:58:52 What do they call it though? What's the name of it? Simpsons hit harder, run faster. Well, see, I think it's just Simpsons hit and run remastered. Okay. Similar Ghostbusters video game remaster. It seems like Sabre interactive, not very like, you know, creative. But more, but, but more than just a, you know, play this in 4k. I think it's, see, that's right. The textures are cleaned up. It's upgraded lighting. Maybe they, they, they fixed trolls. Obviously, you control stuff. We got to get Greg in here, talk about the controls. I think it would be more like a SpongeBob type situation.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Yeah. Hydrated where it's like, it is just a, it's an uprest port. But like they're not going to go and change the gameplay of it at all. No. Yeah. Yeah. I like it, Greg. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:59:32 But I do think that this E3 potentially, again, we don't fucking know anything right now. But I do think that because of the way that it's structured, there's a chance for more random game announcements that we normally wouldn't get. So that would be perfect for that. Where are we at now? Now, it's my turn. It is. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:59:54 You know what? I'm going to go with this one. Vin Diesel. Oh, God. We'll be at Microsoft's conference in a similar to Keanu Reeves situation. It's going to be, it's just about Arc 2. He's just talking about Arc 2. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:12 Okay. But Vin Diesel will be there. I found some bugs they've pitched out. By be there, I mean, he'll be on camera saying some. something that's unique to the Xbox situation. I had a similar sort of thing with celebrities, Tim, where I believe Jack Black will be on camera in some way, shape, or form, announcing that the Rock is going to be in Fortnite.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Fortinette Hollywood. No, I just, I can't imagine an E3 without Jack Black coming on screen. And it's, oh, Jesus, appearing on screen. and and being in just like it's his cell phone footage and he's talking about whatever and Tim Schaefer wanted him to talk about the new psychonauts. I don't know. I just picture that Jack Black will do, we'll do something.
Starting point is 01:01:03 But I'm not looking to Vin Diesel popping on screen, Tim. Like if it's not fast and furious, I don't give a shit. He needs to understand that. He doesn't. Damn. You know, he doesn't. He's one of us. That arc trailer was fucking wild.
Starting point is 01:01:19 It was so long It was so long and we're all confused We're like, is this Chronicles or Reddit? What the fuck is this? It was way too long. And then it was ARC2. And I was like, oh. And then Michelle Rodriguez
Starting point is 01:01:33 to playing the can. It was the whole thing. God forbid she mispronounces this game once. I think we get a full-ass reveal, including similar to what Blessett about Starfield with cinematic and gameplay, but it'll be for Dragon Age, the new Dragon Age. And it's coming out in summer 2022.
Starting point is 01:01:56 We're going to get full ass everything, man. They're going to be full asses out with this one. It's on the new frostbite engine, everybody. And people like the engine now. And everybody agreeing to it has a gun to their head. Wow. Like, yes, we love working in frostbite. Frostbite is actually great.
Starting point is 01:02:14 They're being threatened, yeah. Wow. Wow. Blessing. Fort's Horizon 5 is revealed and it is set to be released this fall. It's located in the Americas. Oh! Either the United States, Mexico, or South America.
Starting point is 01:02:34 The reason I say that is because I would love for it to be located in Japan, but they, for some reason, developers never want to actually, like, grant that wish. And so I'm going to America. That feels like the next step. I feel like the, I want Forza to be in Japan thing. the new, I want a ninja version of Assassin's Creed. Yeah. What that means, that means eventually somebody else is going to be like,
Starting point is 01:03:01 fuck it, let's just park him in Japan then, like a burnout or something. Yeah. Or ghost. Yeah, no, straight up. I think you're right, blessed, but I do think it's Japan. Oh, okay. Is that going to be one of your predictions? Are you going to, are you going to number?
Starting point is 01:03:13 I'm not, I'm not walking that in, no. Oh, do it, Tim, do it. Have fun ones. I want to see. You know what, fuck it. Yeah, I'll do it. Hell yeah. Sports Horizon 5 this fall in Japan.
Starting point is 01:03:26 I can't. It's just too easy, you know? Like it's just too, that's just so much of a right decision that I can't imagine them doing it. Like it's going to be, it's going to be somewhere that we don't expect. But that actually ends up being fantastic because it's going to be in like, they made, they made both Australia and the UK. South Carolina or something.
Starting point is 01:03:43 Fucking amazing. Greg. You're number six. I love when Greg does this. I love it. It gets me. excited. Let me check one thing on our release day here. Let them check one thing.
Starting point is 01:04:01 I don't check one thing in the meantime. I want to see what's going on with this game and when it came out. Ooh, ye. Ooh, we. It's one of those you want to believe. I believe. Go, go, go. At EA play, Jedi Fallen Order 2 is announced in Jedi Fallen Order's
Starting point is 01:04:22 PS5 slash series X versions drop that day. Wow. I like that. blessed shake shook his head vehemently now didn't didn't it didn't fall in order to get updates already for no if you remember it got it got enhancement now you're we are getting a version that is in fact you know the uh p s we're getting a native piece 5 in an xbox x version that's free for cross gen it won't happen day and date because they'll probably want to box it again and put it on shelves and yada yada yada but it's supposed to come this summer sometimes so
Starting point is 01:04:53 i would love that to be my dream world that won't happen so in reality what'll probably happen is fall in order two's announced and then this gets a real date. But that would be, I think they'd show this and be like, but also, and then like, you know, Cal turns on his thing and ham, cow stabs him. I hope so.
Starting point is 01:05:11 I guess you could say the order's fallen to see him in two years. Greasy money, baby. My number six was for it will be this fall in Japan. Andy, you're number seven. This one's weird. I don't know if I like this one, but
Starting point is 01:05:29 I think we're going to actually see more in a more dedicated fashion for Pokemon Archaeus or Arceus Legends or Pokemon Legends, Archaeus RSIus, how do you pronounce it, Tim? Because you said one way and then the lady on the camera said another thing. I'm going to be real, I don't know. I usually go Arcaus.
Starting point is 01:05:48 That sounds cool. I like the A in there. I go Arceus, but it's definitely something that I'm just, every time I fucking say the shit, the comments are like, Tim's a fucking idiot. And you guys are right. All right. Whatever is the right way is the way I'm saying it right now. So, yeah, we're going to get a full sort of dedicated one to that game, a full dedicated direct, rather. And it's going to be like, we're just focusing on this shit because we want you to believe.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Because, again, the game looked like it wasn't running too great on the first switch, but on this new switch pro, it's going to be beautiful. It's going to run so smooth 60 frames. I don't think it gets its own direct. I think it's too, before Gamescom One Night Live or whatever the fuck it's called. I think it's too early and I think they want to put focus on trying to sell more people on the
Starting point is 01:06:37 remakes of Pokemon, Sapphire and, or not Sapphire, what are the new ones? Brilliant Diamond. If you buy, if you buy the new shiny pearl and cool-ass diamond, if you buy those new versions of the new switch, your characters will look cool.
Starting point is 01:06:54 They're not going to, It's not going to look like the ways that you hate it. They're not going to look like they have their own bodies. So what is your prediction? Full like Pokemon direct for Archaeus. Like an exclusive thing. Arceus. Focused on Pokemon Legends.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Okay. Bless you, Greg Miller. You think he's okay? He's going for a while. He's good. It's what I do. That's what I do, baby. Audio listeners, Greg looked away and sneezed a lot.
Starting point is 01:07:20 Greg's consistently taking away from getting audio content. No sneeze. for you. Those sneezes for you. Bless, you got some sneezes for me. I got some for you. Riders Republic gets a new release date. It's coming out in August.
Starting point is 01:07:34 They show off new modes, including a mode that is literally just fall guys, an extreme sports obstacle-based battle rail. That sounds awesome. I don't think I need it. I don't think I'll need it, so I'm going to, maybe I will need it. No, I probably won't need it.
Starting point is 01:07:51 I'm going to burn it here because I'm going to come back to seven or am I eight already when I come back? Your next one's seven. Yeah, I don't need. I want to hear as I say, Riders Republic is set, and this isn't going to count, I guess.
Starting point is 01:08:02 Riders Republic is set to take the slopes in December. I think they'll hold it later. I mean, you can counter mine with that. I could, but I don't know if I want to. All right. Okay, fair.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Counter it December then, huh? Yeah. It's pretty far out there. Yeah, it is. A more confident man would have made that one of his predictions, but maybe you know that you're wrong. Find luck it in everybody. Right.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Wow. You really let this, bless it get under your skin like that. just wrecked over your ass. I love that blessing setting up the personal Yeah, like he's setting people up just because he knows you're gonna get confident all over your ass.
Starting point is 01:08:36 Because this game was supposed to come out in February and it got delayed. And I think the question is, alright, Prince of Persia was too. Jackass, what do you say about that, huh? Prince of Persia looked like it had problems. Riders Republic looked like it was going to be in the year. And so this thing is going to be ready about this. The game of the year.
Starting point is 01:08:49 The question is, where do they position it around Far Cry? And it's, far cry, I believe, is what, November? October. October. October. Okay. Wait, what did I say?
Starting point is 01:08:59 You said August. Oh, okay, yes. No, that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I feel like August is right. Because August puts it in the, in the hyperscape window. And I feel like, I feel like Ubisoft, they're like, August, I feel like for them is like, hey, what do we have confidence in, but not too much confidence?
Starting point is 01:09:21 You know, like, what do we want to take off? But also, like, what is in the fall game? And I think Raiders Republic is one that isn't a late fall game. I feel like that is for them. It's something that they want to give its own space to shine and get a community. August, I believe, was fall guys. That was HyperScape. I think Ryder's Republic fits in right there.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Oh, man. Four more to go for me. I'm already pretty much out. I have like two left. So I'm going to be playing an awful lot of years. Okay. And you're going to slack you when I'll slack you. Okay.
Starting point is 01:09:55 All right. I want to. I mean, fuck it. I'm gonna say it. Just because this is the only one you guys might try to steal in some way. The final two Smash Brother characters
Starting point is 01:10:05 will be announced. To have extra fun with it if they get my full points here and like whatever. One of them will be crashed Fandicoot. Oh! And I'm gonna fucking lose my goddamn mind. And for the second one,
Starting point is 01:10:22 I'm gonna say Ryu Hayibusa from Ninja Guiden. So I'm thinking those two characters will be announced and add even one more extra element to this. And I don't know that it will be announced at the Nintendo Direct of E3 or, but it will be announced before opening Night Live at some point. There will be a Super Smash Brothers ultimate, ultimate edition. They're not going to call it that, but it will be a new skew that has all of the characters just on the cart. You don't need to worry about the DLC or any of that stuff. That'll be the end of the DLC for Smash entire.
Starting point is 01:10:57 excited about that. He could just buy it. And he could just buy it. I'm not saying they're all being unlocked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's his problem. He has to unlock him because he's lazy as fuck. But then it will, it'll also hopefully have Switch Pro enhancements or whatever, some type of that type of shit. But that's the part I'm a little hazy on because we just don't know the details on the
Starting point is 01:11:17 switch pro stuff. But locking in my thing, there will be a new version to smash with all of the stuff. The final two characters will be revealed, one Crash, one Ryu, Ayibusa. And This isn't part of the prediction. I'm just throwing it out there. I think if crashes in, they're going to put Coco
Starting point is 01:11:31 as an alternate costume for him. Oh, that's fun. I like that. I really want to know what Greg slacked Andy. It's coming right now. Here's the prediction. Here's my number eight or nine or whatever it is. Are you all ready for this?
Starting point is 01:11:50 Xbox retires the B button. He kicks it over. Thanks, Aaron. You know, Xbox's had a lot, a lot of great games and a lot of great memories over the past 20 years. But there's one guy we couldn't have done it without the B button. It's with great honor and sadness today. But I announced we are retiring the B button. There's just three buttons in the right side down. They're not replacing it.
Starting point is 01:12:22 We're not replacing you with anything. Of course, every, every, every, every rain cloud has a. overlining, you'll now see the new Xbox controllers where we've removed the B button and covered it in plastic. You can go buy these, go buy a new elite controller. There you go. So with that, Andy, I want to, can
Starting point is 01:12:38 I suggest a trade for your prediction to give you potential for some points. Sticking with the controller, how about I give you this one? There will be a elite series X controller. Ooh. Announced. I don't want to take that trade. I think we're
Starting point is 01:12:56 going to get new design lab. Well, That's what I was going to say. Are those the same thing, though? No, I don't think, I still do not think they'll let you do design lab for Elite 3 or whatever the hell. What'd you call it? I said Elite Series X. Elite Series X. That sounds dope as fuck.
Starting point is 01:13:12 Holy shit. Okay. Andy, what do you want to lock in as your prediction? New design lab for the standard controllers. There will be no announcement for an elite controller. There will be no elite designing, just new design lab. I like that. And the beep button is there.
Starting point is 01:13:30 but you cannot click it. It's just, it's hard plastic. It's just in memoriam, you know. Blessing. What is your number eight? Number eight, okay. Hmm. Do I get wild?
Starting point is 01:13:47 Ever wild? No. Super Mario Odyssey 2 gets revealed. Only, no date. Block. Luigi is playable. And it comes with a co-op challenge mode that, for some reason, to make a big actually actually no take that back because they're not going to know that i have to take super mario
Starting point is 01:14:04 odyssey too is revealed no date luigi is focused on in the review that'd be insane i don't see it happening but i'd be really stoked hey man it's been almost four years since we got mario odyssey it's about working on that donkey con though i guess they could do both but who knows wasn't it that it's like it was people from the mario odyssey team not the entire mario odyssey team i feel like that's what the art the actual article said about the donkey con Yeah. Plus, you know, multitask, you know, yeah. Yeah. Plus I think I think there little Don Kong over here, a little Mario over here, right? Like you just switch computers. That plus I think a Mario Odyssey too, if it really is Mario Odyssey to you would have a quicker turnaround because they can base it off of a lot of the mechanics and stuff from Mario Odyssey one. It just focus on making new levels that make a shine. Shine. And there will be a sunshine. You know, island. Yes, it's happening, baby. All right, Greg, number eight.
Starting point is 01:15:04 Let's spend some of that epic money centered around the release of Black Widow Fall Guys gets its first sets of Marvel outfits for their costume. They won't announce it, but I will tell you now, ladies and gentlemen, Ghostbusters coming in November around Ghostbusters afterlife. A slimer, a stay puff, probably a little stay puff since they've been doing that. I like it.
Starting point is 01:15:28 I think that's a great. I think that's an easy one for either. I would think originally I was like Devolver's thing. But of course, you know, Epic buying Mediatonic. I'm sure they want to go different and go bigger with their own stuff too. And Devolver wouldn't really feel like a great fit for that, I think. I think it makes a lot of sense that like one of Jeff's summer game, or fast things, right, have Donald Muster talking about Fortnite
Starting point is 01:15:47 and then also the fact that they're working with Mediatonic, obviously on Faguy stuff, and that's what they're doing. All right. I'm going to do this one for my boys. Rare replay. Oh, God damn it. That's one of mine. Coming to Switch with Donkey Kong Country, 1 to 3,
Starting point is 01:16:05 and Donkey Kong 64. Ooh. Now, to add a bonus in there, Didi Kong Racing? Is that going to be in there also? Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:16:16 That's good. That's hot. That's sexy. Oh, damn it. I should have used that one earlier. I really hope it happens, though. Do you, I mean... It would make Donktober the future Dongtober's way easier.
Starting point is 01:16:27 Yeah, way easier and way better. Do you think that can realistically happen? Do you think that... I think it can realistically happen. I don't think that it's a surefire thing, but I do think that there have been talks about it at the very least. Where they're at with those talks
Starting point is 01:16:42 and what that ends up looking like, I think that's a bigger question because at this point, the Donkey on country games are on Nintendo's Switch Online. So their availability isn't necessarily like that big of a draw, but I do think the kind of like rare replay
Starting point is 01:16:57 with Banjo. I see Xbox wanting to make Banjo relevant again. And I think that like the more they can like focus on the old games that everyone loves that can help them and they've already put out re-replay but putting it on switch i think that's a good home for it i think there's a lot going on there god i hope so man i hope so and then give give a new banjikzui game to um cycloneots dev
Starting point is 01:17:20 double fun double fine yeah yeah yeah interesting because like rick doesn't have the time all right so we're back to andy number nine this one's a little too horny and i i i i don't believe it, but I'm going to say it anyway. I'm going to speak it into existence. Ladies and gentlemen, for the past month, you've been enjoying some of some newcomers of the franchise, the Mass Effect, 1 through 3, legendary edition. You've seen what the universe is that we've been building, and we are proud to bring you the mass effect, the next installment.
Starting point is 01:17:57 And it's more added on to the last show that they showed you with the subtitle this time. It's like renewed beginnings or some bullet. It's definitely not renewed beginnings. But it's something to kind of get Mass Effect fans excited that, obviously, Massifix fans would be excited anyway, but it's really to show new players and stuff that, like, hey, we're really doing this. And we're going back to our roots.
Starting point is 01:18:24 It's kind of like a way to make people feel safe again with that franchise. And that feel burned. I don't think it's going to happen, but I'm putting it down anyway. okay blessing number nine hmm hmm Wolfens nine three gets revealed dated for 2022
Starting point is 01:18:46 releasing on everything surprise it's releasing on everything but it is on game pass you're such a silly bitch blessing I love you because that that harkens back to the quote that we got from Phil Spencer that like we keep
Starting point is 01:19:01 interpreting in so many different ways but like he mentioned that like okay yeah like it's gonna be case by case for the exclusive games, but some games with legacy under the platforms you might see continue to exist on those platforms.
Starting point is 01:19:13 I think Wolfenstein 3, I could see, really similar. Again, it's what you define as legacy. I think of Wolfentstein. I don't think like it's legacy being on PlayStation.
Starting point is 01:19:22 Yeah, but Wolfstein 1 and 2 are on other platforms is mainly what I'm getting at there. Yeah. Tell me in one sentence, what is your prediction? Wolfenstein 3 gets revealed, data for 2022,
Starting point is 01:19:34 and is releasing on everything but on Game Pass for Xbox. Is it machine games working on it? Yes Well, multitasking on Indiana Jones two computers Yeah, I think Indiana Jones has got to be early though Yeah Yes
Starting point is 01:19:51 Yeah last we heard about Indy It was like even when they put out the The video they followed up that tweet With a response that was like it is far It's gonna be a while since we even hear about it Yeah Greg number nine You know Yeah I know Greg I know
Starting point is 01:20:15 I understand Do you want me to send you one? No, no, I got plenty here, but now I'm into the stuff that I don't think is as exciting and some of it's more nebulous. And I don't know what, do I really want to do that? Do I really want to throw that out there? Because I've had some good spicy ones, you know? You're known for the spice, Greg. I know. That's why they call me spicy jeans.
Starting point is 01:20:35 Spicy genes. I keep going back and forth on that one, you know. Division Heartland is showcased at UB Ford. It makes me go, oh, baby, baby. and it's released the first week of August. Oh, okay. The free to play? Yeah, the free to play, won't you?
Starting point is 01:21:01 A Ubisoft original. I really hope you say, oh, baby, baby. I know. Baby, baby. I originally had a first week of July, but at the last second there, it didn't feel good. I pulled up when I put August.
Starting point is 01:21:12 Yeah. Okay, okay. Division Heartland, August makes great go, oh, baby, baby. Cool. He got it down. I rode down Division Heartland, August. Oh, baby, baby, baby.
Starting point is 01:21:20 There you go. There we go. Oh, baby, baby, baby. Okay, so running out, only got two left. I'm going to go with a fun one here. We will get another Nintendo 99-style game. We got Mario 35, we got Tetris 99. We will get another one.
Starting point is 01:21:40 Next year's where I'm adding the fun spice to it. It will be Zelda-based to celebrate Zelda's anniversary. But this is where the either-or comes in. I saw a YouTube comment by a man named Jazzmaster recently. on a video. Take it to the bank. Who put something out there that I'm like, I actually really fucking like that.
Starting point is 01:21:58 And I can see Nintendo doing it with Nintendo's weird-ass decisions. What are they called, Andy? WNDD's weird Nintendo decisions. The WNDs right here. It'll be a Zelda game we're getting. And it's going to either be a Zelda 99 style game or, sorry, the prediction is we're going to be getting a Zelda game for the Nintendo Switch Online service.
Starting point is 01:22:17 Okay. And it's either going to be a 99, Mario 35 type thing. Or it is going to be. a more complete version of that Breath of the Wild demake that they showed a couple years back. The top where they used the original Zelda sprites and it was like the concept of what the world would be. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:38 And I don't think it's gonna be the full breath of the wild toned down into a, you know, fully de-made. But like a fun, like a couple hour experience kind of thing. Exactly, exactly. I think that could be a lot of fun and I think that it's the weird type of shit Nintendo would do. Do you think it's like the Link's Awakening remake team?
Starting point is 01:22:57 Maybe, I mean, that's thing is, I don't know how far along that project ever made it. Like, I think that there's more of it than we'd expect. Like, I don't think it's ever was planned to be a full game. But I think that, like, there's some working shit there that I think that they know people would be really interested in, especially to celebrate the anniversary. And especially as something different for their switch online offerings. Less.
Starting point is 01:23:19 No, Andy. Damn. Your final one. The same team who worked on the Links Awakening remake it also. worked on Meetopia. God damn. Poor guys. I keep getting an ad fed to me for Meetopia. Do you all see this on Twitter?
Starting point is 01:23:32 With something about the deep, like wake up the dark lord and it's these bees that look like they're humping the ground. It's a very weird ad by Nintendo. It's very bizarre. It is a very bizarre ad. I hope somebody links into the comments down below. I think we get
Starting point is 01:23:48 another PlayStation Indies focus on Indies. We get not only more more information on seafood, which is what we want, but we get dates for stray, for solar ash, and for little devil inside. And this won't have, it'll just be indie focus on. This won't not be a big first party blowout or anything like that, just indies. Right now is PlayStation Indies showcase with more seafood.
Starting point is 01:24:15 We also get Little Devil Inside, Stray and Solar Ash release dates. Yes. I'm going to look up this hat for you. Don't worry about it. Do it. Cool. Blessing number 10. All right. Give me two seconds because I'm typing it up as we speak and I'm, I'm, it's coming in hot. This is coming in hot off the press, everybody. It's coming in real hot because I had some boring ones. I had some boring ones, if I'm being honest, but I, it didn't feel right ending on a boring one because this is my last one, right? Okay, okay, okay. All right. Yeah. All right. Okay. Oh, there will be a big PlayStation.
Starting point is 01:24:56 state of play in July. At that state of play, we're given another look at Horizon Forbidden West that dates the game for this fall. It will have a specific date. It will be a different month from Breath of Wild 2. I think they're waiting for Breath of Wild 2 to get a date before they date that game. But it will be released this fall in a separate date from Breath of Wild 2. To continue that same prediction, there's all one prediction.
Starting point is 01:25:24 In that same state of play, God of War, will have a cinematic reveal trailer that ends with 2022, and the game's name will be confirmed as God of War Racken Rock. In that same state of play. Oh, my God. Wow, wow, wow. Sunset Overdrive is coming to PlayStation. In some kind of ultimate edition,
Starting point is 01:25:44 sunset overdrive, overcharged, or some shit. And then in that same state of play, fuck off, it's too much. You're dreaming. There's a big new PlayStation Studios game revealed at the end of it. I just want to point out that technically Horizon Zero Dawn and Breath of Wild One came out in different months.
Starting point is 01:26:05 And I think it would be funny. I mean literally 31 days, at least 31 days now. Okay, okay. I don't think that this prediction's crazy. Because like a lot of that stuff is just like updates on things we already know about like half of that. And I don't think it'd be that crazy that a new big PlayStation Studios projects revealed. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:25 Yeah. I think I mean, I think the only like the, The only, like, ballsy part of it is the fact, is the idea that PlayStation is going to do a big state of play that encompasses all this stuff, because I feel like they haven't done that in a minute. Yeah. But I think all this stuff is, is plausible.
Starting point is 01:26:42 Number 10. It's always the lead of it. It's highly anticipated, you know? I know. Well, you know. I know, Greg. You know, you know. I know, you know, we know. Tim knows.
Starting point is 01:27:04 Tim knows for sure. Plus doesn't know, though. Hey, I know. I know. Hey, I know all. Plus knows. Plus knows. I know. Thank you, Andy. What were we talking about? Greg just sent me
Starting point is 01:27:16 Division Heartline is showcased and it makes me go, oh, poopy, poopie. And it's really the first week of August. I thought you still need the helps. I was thinking that could be like, you know, a counterpick to me.
Starting point is 01:27:25 A counterpick to me. All right, fine, bless. I'll match. I'll step up to the play here. Oh, shit. Horizon Forbidden West isn't coming in 2021.
Starting point is 01:27:34 And that's confirmed somewhere in the summer games mess. So somewhere throughout this, they confirmed that, in fact, it is not coming this year. Even if it's just like a press release or something. I think it'll probably be a PlayStation blog. I don't think it's anything. If that doesn't, we don't want to count that. I have other ones that you could see at an actual conference or whatever.
Starting point is 01:27:51 But in terms of how we did it this year, I think you'll see them back down off of that. And I know they said that so many people after I was talking, I put up, I was talking about it on shows this week. We're like, oh, the tweet says that it's still on track. I'm like, all right. Just what does on track mean to you? I know they said it was coming this year. Let's see what happens, everybody. All right.
Starting point is 01:28:11 That's my last one. Between two right now, I'm going to count one and I'm going to say the other one as a fun bonus, just so you guys know. The fun bonus one is just there will be a new Kingdom Hearts game announced. Not a music game or something. It might be a spinoff, but it's going to advance the story. It's going to be part of the canon of Kingdom Hearts. Maybe a Switch game, maybe a brand new console game.
Starting point is 01:28:39 Probably not a Kingdom Hearts 4. Before we know what that is, like, can you explain the canon to us right now? No, I can't. I can't explain to you what games are canon, which we all know. Obviously, Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, 3. Obviously, 358 days over 2. Obviously, birth by sleep. Dream drop distance.
Starting point is 01:28:58 Obviously, Andy, obviously Dream drop distance. Can't you get away from that one? I think that's it. But yeah, a game in the vein of those. Oh, and the chain of memories. But in that style, I think we're going to get a Kingdom Hearts game announced. But that's not. my prediction. My prediction? And I feel like this one is almost a guaranteed loss for me,
Starting point is 01:29:15 but God, I believe it in my heart. And there's enough evidence that makes me feel like despite a lot of other evidence pointing to the contrary, we're going to get Tony Hawk three. I don't know how. I don't know if it's going to be DLC for one and two. I don't know if it's going to be its own game with three and four. If it's just going to be its own standalone thing, I don't know, but I do think we're getting Tony Hawk's Pro Skater three. We will see Los Angeles. We will see the foundry. We'll see Canada. These levels will be playable in a Tony Hawk game. And the reason I think that despite, you know, all the companies getting gobbled up and being forced to work on Call of Duty
Starting point is 01:29:50 until they die, this game did well. And recently, the drummer of CKY said that their work, their songs are in the new Tony Hawk game. The only game from Tony Hawk history that CKY had music in was Tony Hock's Pro Skator 3. Dan-na-na-da-da-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-----------------------------.
Starting point is 01:30:09 Hey, was that C-K-Y? Yeah, yeah, they had bangers then. Do you think that EA is like, all right, Tony Hawk? We're going to show you skate four. Right here, right now. I mean, I don't know if they're going to do that. What they have to show? Like, they didn't even start developing when they announced that shit last year, right?
Starting point is 01:30:28 Yeah, it's just a silly question. Just go with the joke. Just go with the joke. Last year, my prediction was Tony Hawk's skate. But that would have been the coolest, though. Let's go back in time. Let's make that happen. So that's it.
Starting point is 01:30:42 And blessing as far as like, oh, they had bangers. That's the only song I know. That song was a banger, though. That song was a banger. That's like one of my favorite songs from that game. Yeah, that's the jackass song pretty much. It's like in every, hey, I'm Batman Margera. This is called the fucking peanut butter skateboard.
Starting point is 01:30:59 Then it's like them do kickflips and shit. Oh, yeah. well everyone this has been our predictions episode who will win who will emerge victorious uh we won't know for a while probably a couple months because that's how we three works nowadays great miller what's up just uh before we go andy do you think in our prime in their prime we could have parted with some 41 or without have gone bad oh well when they got really big no definitely not like i think it was i think those parties are really hard and the type of parties that would scare me and I'd be like great, we should leave.
Starting point is 01:31:35 Watch your drink, watch your drink. I'm scared. The reason you're asking this is because the CK.Y song, Andy's song is very similar to. I like it, dude. I saw him at the Columbia Mall once, too intimidated to talk to him. They were in the subway line.
Starting point is 01:31:52 All right. I love it. We're about to the post show, which once again will not be bless who this week, because we're going to keep doing the leftovers of our predictions, because that's always fun. Talking about the stuff that we were too cowardly to talk about on the main show.
Starting point is 01:32:09 And we're going to get to that right now for patreon.com slash kind of funny game supporters. Until then, I love you guys. Goodbye.
