What's up and welcome back to another kind of funny state of play reaction this time, September 2025. Of course, I'm your host, Tim Getty's. I'm joined today by blessing at a yoje, Jr. Good day, Tim. Snowbike, Mike, and Andy Cortez will be joining us after they finish their lunch. But joining us as well, I don't even know how you want me to intro you here. What is this?

It's not shirtless Wolverine. No, it's shirt's too tight Wolverine. Shirts, that rolls right off the tongue. Okay. We're starting to do things. Is that okay? I like it. I like it.

I like it. Can you be in the tree? You look good. I like these little accessories you have. It's cool how it looks like it's coming out of your hand. Is there hurt coming out of the hand? Every time. Oh, no.

You know, love the hair. Love everything about it. You know, my entire, shout out to my stylist, Andy Cortez, who shaved me in the bathroom and did my hair in the bathroom today.

Very nice to do that, as always. I don't think he did that as much when he worked at Best Buy. Uh-huh. But I'm happy he does it here for it. You know what I mean? And yeah,

I'm excited, of course, obviously, for the Sorrows gameplay. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That's what you're here for. Snowmike Mike is now joining us as well.

Hi, Tim. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm wonderful. I'm happy to be here. Thanks for gathering the crew for another awesome live reaction to a fun state of play. Today, I'm just excited for games, Tim. You know, I'm coming at this one, looking for a really good final slot to fill with a good game for my fantasy critic. Other than that, that's nothing else. I mean, everything matters. I'm excited for games, but I'm looking for something to fill that slot, Tim. Yeah. Yeah. Bless, what about you? Where are we at? We're a couple minutes away from a 30 plus minute state of play.

Yeah, I'm excited. Well, I have like medium expectations, right? Like I'm not overly like, oh, I mean, we're going to get the next, you know, greatest 10 PlayStation showcase games because this is a state of play. It's not a showcase, right? So I think that helps kind of roll back expectations a little bit. But Soros gameplay, like Greg mentioned, I'm super excited for. Confirmed. Confirmed. Yes. We know that we're going to get about five minutes of Sorrows, which is really cool. I am like, there is the Wolverine in the air. And I do kind of expect. it. I do kind of expect it. It's one of those. This is all fun in game. Yeah. Obviously, there was the rumors that Wolverine would be at this thing, you know, last week that there was going to be one and that they would be part of this. It seems like the right time to do

something, to drop something, to remind everybody it exists. You know, I think, again, we talked about this at nauseam yesterday, right? I think you do. You obviously do the sorrows thing. I would open with that. I think you hit a ghost in the middle and remind everybody that's out next week. And then I think you close on Wolverine as PlayStation.

They've already said so much, you know, There's going to be these PlayStation Studios games, but there's also going to be third parties in indie updates as well. I think we, when we're talking about indie updates, you know, I look at my fans as a critic and I'm like, where is mixtape?

Is that coming out this year? Yeah. It says 2025. Are you going to see that game? And then also where is Possessors? Where is Marvel Cosmic Invasion? That is a great question. Yeah,

mixtape I feel is going to be an Xbox. Yeah. Reveal at some point, so I don't expect to see it here. I do think a potential thing that timing might not work out, but Hades too, we don't have any information on it coming to PlayStation yet. So that doesn't feel right to me, but who knows?

I'm at a good place with this one where it's like, I feel like Starless alone is like, cool, this is going to be worth watching, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. There is a, I think, good chance that Wolverine's there. I don't think it's a guarantee. And as I was joking about earlier, like Final Fantasy 7, Part 3 has to be announced somewhere at some time.

And I do think that I kind of feel like it's going to be announced in 2025. So we're running out of places for that. And this could be it. I think the state of play versus showcase conversation that we've had so many times, I think specifically right now, I almost put out the window where if this ends up just being hella bangers and like so many of the year of dreams type stuff happening, I wouldn't be surprised. But if this is just another state of play with a bunch of gotcha anime games, I also wouldn't

be surprised. Yeah, 100%. I would be surprised if it's like bangor after banger. Yeah, I feel like they just don't do that anymore. Or at least like they don't do that. They only do it periodically. And when it is happening, they call it a PlayStation show. And even when they call it a PlayStation showcase, that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be bangers,

like, because the last one we had was all their both playing things. But it was also them doing first party after first party, right? So I think that's the big difference here. And where we're at right now, like think about the rumors that have been circling. Like, obviously Wolverine is a confirmed game at this point. Like, we're waiting to hear more from it. But what about the God of War game? Yeah, God of Duty God of War.

You brought up yesterday on the show, right? What about this Horizon multiplayer game we heard about forever ago? Yeah. And whatever is next from Sony, Sony, Santa Monica. otherwise, whether it's God of War or not. It's like, I don't think so, but like, there are still a lot of question marks on the PlayStation Studio side that at some point we need to hear about what everyone's working on.

It could be today. It could start that next wave of PlayStation 5 games. You're always talking about. It's also kind of aligned with the TGS, right? So I do expect to see a focus on that type of game as well. I see people in the chat saying tides of annihilation. I imagine we'll see that, Phantom Blade Zero. Like, there's going to be some cool stuff.

Hello, Andy. Hey, Greg. Soros, baby. Hell yeah. Yeah, what are you excited for? What are you expecting? I mean, whatever this five minutes of gameplay is for Soros, like, that's known, that's confirmed. That's super exciting.

And outside of that, anything else is just a little treat. Because we were talking the other day, like, what do we think is going to be there? And Saros wasn't even on my mind, really. But now it's like, oh, shit, wow. I feel like we will into existence. Yeah. Yeah, I'll give you credit for that. Thank you.

We have 45 seconds. Start off with Marble Tookon Fighting Souls. Start off with a little devil inside. It's Kansaros. Give me a sorry. Yeah, sorry. Little devil's outside now. We're not let them inside anymore.

I want a Marvel Tokon. I want character reveals. That's what I want. Yeah, my chair is one of the new ones. I got a good one. Nice. You all have good ones. We're winning.

Thanks for breaking the chairs, Mike. Yeah, I have to take photos of the chairs now for Kevin. So every time I sit in the chair, I have to send it to them. Because this is the complaint that you, You were sitting in and wrong. I was the one sitting in them wrong. Sharing with the class, what, how, what? He broke it on air.

Sure, but there was something about pushing off of, are you talking about the ring? There's a ring on the bottom. Yeah. Some people, we don't know who hops off when they jump up. Got it, got it, got it, got it, okay, okay. No idea. Could be anyone. And we begin.

Here we go. Not PSY Pro. Wow. What? You just see it. Discontinued. That in PSRR, too. Oh, here we go.

It, baby. Oy, bruce. I like war, hairling. I'm the sun dies. Time stretches and tears. Shut your mouth. Scam for me. Sultari signals.

There he is. Approximating. Is that the thing from the rich? Confirmed. You better stay out of my way. Ralph is a good for you, by the way. That's awesome. I'm Gregory Loudon, creative director at HouseMark.

Hi, Gregory. Today we are thrilled to show off this first. No. look of gameplay for Saros running on PS5. Saros builds on Returnals award-winning action and tells the emotional and haunting story of Arjun DeVraz's drive for answers on the shapeshifting planet of Carcosa.

Fucking Carcosa! Oh shit! You've been there? Because they mentioned the Yellow King and all that shit, but it's actually... He'll show up one of our exciting combat features. The Sun Taksin. carcosa you can defend yourself and absorb projectiles

i love return it's not the basis of it returnal is such a good game it was oh my god cool as hell fuck sick by absorbing projectiles you can now hit back hard using your power with this vibranium shit by holding the adaptive trigger on l2 you'll be able to destroy enemies using eclipse driven weaponry. God damn, dude. This is one of the few shooters that I love on controller. Really?

But I'm like totally fine playing on controller because it just, something about it just felt awesome. Are you doing like the half press with the trigger thing to do your secondary fire? Maybe just like the active reload and all that. It just felt right. I don't know. Here is a Soltari hololog where you can learn more about lost Carcoso. I will fight you.

I promise. We're just video games are back, man. The little sound effect sounded just like Returnals as well, the kind of reload. I mean, this just looks like Returnal, too, to me. Yes, thank God. That's exactly what I want. When they said they weren't working on Returnals, I was like, oh, fuck.

I really like this HUD, too. Oh, yeah, the little map on the bottom right? This is second chance, where you can be revived on first step to get straight back into the action. Second Chance is part of our permanent progression. systems, which means you will always come back stronger. That's not a shit. Boss fight.

We got Mick Gordon on the soundtrack. We hope you love that first look at gameplay. I loved it, great. We're looking forward to revealing more on our The Eclipse and moving story. What a sense. A ensemble cast of NPCs and the coming months. Next year is when you'll be able to play Saros on PS5

and enhance for PS5 Pro. Thanks for watching. We can't wait to share more from all of the team working on Saros. Oh, man. Oh, my God. All right, great direct. I don't have to see anything else.

That was great. Whoa. Oh, God. The soul's been awesome. Yeah. Come back, stronger. Oh. Wow.

You had me going. Come on. Wow. Come on. That is hot as the art. Well done. That Bogzar looks good. You can see that thumbnail in your dashboard.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You actually want to deploy her? You cannot be serious. Zalum, yeah. Kastard is one of our most highly trained operands. She's been shelved for five years. The parties marked her as a failure.

She won't have to do it alone. Her old squad is still out there. I thought they'd all been ripped to shreds. Probably. But she can script what. left of them back together lead them to the death all over again and what if she butchers it like last time we'll do what we always throw more assets at the little sleeper let that citizen sleepersberg lean I guess she's a pathetic

fragile embarrassment and her methods are so unhinged she's good over there but they get results no range missiles get results. Show a little favor. We're at the end of history. Everything that could go wrong already has. Sick ass name.

That's a great one. The art, everything was just like good shit right there. Uh-oh, flyed sim. Interesting. If you're listening in here, Paris crying into his pillow. I think Mike would be good at flying a real

Red Bull plane. I can do it, Andy. I love this. game and I'm so happy it's coming out to PlayStation and people can enjoy it give it a try that's what I encourage you to do how much you think you played it by 26 hours with the flight stick way more it feels like way more yeah they're adding a Jurassic Park area to it so I'll add some more yeah my PPL though a PPL oh yeah personal pilot's license thank you Wow. Had to earn that. Just like Nathan Fielder.

Oh. Oh, he said when you get mentioned. Hostiles inbound. 100 meters in closing. Hostiles inbound. I got two. Oh, my God. It's so come back.

I got three west side. Fram shoot on the T of execute. Three. Two. But like for real, it's not, no way. Because it's not call of duty. Execute. Oh, that'll be.

Field campaign. The campaign. Whoa! The only known has crumbled. Alliances that held since the end of World War II, gone. Dagger, this is Pax's and balls in play yet. If they succeed, they will have secured the most strategic rock in the history of warfare. Want to help our friends take back this rock?

You're just going to be awesome. Is this a co-op? Do you call campaign? I don't know if, I don't know if this is called. They haven't said anything like that. The whole water was going to look different now. different now just takes a little shake of perspective gotta love a challenge a halo jump hey everyone I'm sorry to be a more

for this comment yeah that is not the fucking question this is it yeah hey everyone I'm Sean Benson and I'm Sid and I are back to share news and release dates for games coming to PS5. But first, thanks to EA and Battlefield Studios for that new look at the single-player campaign for Battlefield 6. It launches October 10th on PS5. Now let's celebrate one of my favorite games of all time, which is marking its 25th anniversary this year. How tall is that you? Oh, he's tall. Wow.

Sean's also small. So it's like one of those double juxtaposition. Yes, X returns. What? This PS5 remaster is a collaboration between Idos, Montreal and Aspire. Oh, wow. Remastered classics like Tomb Raider and Soul Return. It's way back to the people. And you can't do a damn thing about it. I feel like Aspires remastering stuff like on their life breaks. Yeah, just because they want to.

It's like side projects. I've always wanted to go back and play the original day-SX. It adds enhanced visuals, overhauled controls, and support for key PS5 features like captic feedback. I thought that shot they just a little while ago was the before. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, yeah. It's emphasis on choice and consequence. No two play-throughs unfold the same.

And consequences. Deiasex remastered arrives on PS5 early next year. I remember trying to like DSX. It's almost Halloween. It was the box art that just didn't do it. Everyone's a kid. I like the box art, but I just can... Yeah.

Oh, shit. Death comes to Haddonfield in Halloween the game. A tribute to the John Carpenter Classic. The team at the team at Ilphonic invites players to an asymmetrical horror sandbox. You want to talk about a game as going to take over my fucking life. Remember how deep I was on Friday 13th. In each game, it's up to you as survivors to save these hapless town phone.

We need to hunt them down as Michael Myers. Okay. He possesses you. We'll make sure Andy doesn't miss it like Texas change on ask him to me. Because he knows you would love that one. When you're your top 10, they just missed out on it. That's all. Yeah.

We won't let him miss out on this way. I miss out on the two times you played it. It's up to you to help folk to safety, find a phone and call the police for help. Harry says this is just Friday the 13th. Yes. Thank fucking God. When they inevitably cross paths with the unstoppable Michael Myers.

Become the boogeyman or protect his victims when Halloween the game launches on September 8th, 2026. Jesus. What? That is so far from that. That's got to be a tight film. That's not a real. Last evil. I don't even thought about September 8, 2026.

It's weird to call your shot that far. The first celebrated dungeon crawler is known for its extensive skill customization. Is that the furthest date we have? It's literally over a year away. That's crazy. A little less than New Year. Yeah, 8th, not 20th. Oh, sorry, what was it?

September 8. September 8th. Yeah, don't worry about it. I mean, the fact that everything's had a date so far, it feels like they want everything to have a date. Nitrogen says, Greg, did you ever get into last epoch? I played at Zanth, of course, our Diabolo, kind of funny experts request.

I enjoyed it. I'd be interested to see how it runs over here. I hear a lot of good things. Yeah, it's great. First, major expansion of Horowitz will arrive at the same time as the upcoming PS5 release.

I mean, you guys got a date? No, we don't. Just give us anything. Yeah. A year from now. All right. We want to be a Halloween game.

Oh, for this year? No, no, no, no. We can delay it later. No one will remember the date. A single-player campaign and multiplayer. areas where cooperation and exploration go hand and hand. I looked weird. Following the footsteps of Tristan, the Prince of Britannian,

and play an original story you can experience only in the game. Capture creatures, go fishing, cook your own meals. You said a new power old, pal farming? No, I haven't seen that one. How is it? I mean, they just are in the from pocket pair? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just a little farming game. I mean, it's just screenshots so far.

But it's like, you know, it's our version, you know, more cozy. People are afraid to say if a Powell world was great. Wow, people are afraid. Don't be afraid to say it right there. Power world is great and we all know it. Venture out alone or with friends when the seven deadly sins origin arrives on January 28. Oh. Making that music.

And Sonic Racing Crossworld launching on PS5 tomorrow. Very good game. Oh shit. I'm in. Roger, you know, I like this guy. Sick. A fucking rush. He's on a rush.

Oh, shit. Also included as a stunning reimagining of Dr. Cool. Very cool. Familiar sights and sounds will take players back to some of Mega Man's most memorable adventures. A lot of these places speaking to you, Andy? Fuck yeah, dude. He's the streets he grew up on.

Yeah. Part of the season pass and Digital Deluxe Edition. Oh, that's just like Wiley's Castle, too. Early Unlocked period is already underway. But that's a top 10. Song of all the time. Not just video games. No, yeah, just hard stop.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You put like Hey Jude up there from the Beatles. Yep. Dr. Wiley's safe too. Dinga-ding-a-N-a-N-N-N-N-A-N-N-T. It is I who will be sure. Oh, yeah. Understand what it means.

Which ones is it? Neo 3. Andy Arbine, you're going to get into this? 3-0. This is going to be another Wolong. Yeah. Well, it's like, it's at that time of year.

Like, I guess we're playing this. I got nothing else to play. Yeah. Oh, you don't think Neos got the sauce? Does not have the sauce? I'm just basing this on a lot of recent teen ninja stuff. Okay.

That feels very samey. And it's still good. and high quality, but everything else surrounding it is always kind of like, interesting. Yeah, Sad Boy Sean loves one and two,

and I thought the audience really loves Neo, so. Oh, yeah, the audience loves Neo, for sure. Now, one thing, though, it's Koi-Techbo, Team Ninja. If it has a character creator, it's going to be an amazing character creator.

You're going to have so much gear dropping. Oh, my God. No, but they got the shit where you like, You can add on hair pieces and then make the hair longer, like it has a hair length thing. Oh, sick. Their character creators are always insane. Dude, they're popping off with the dates. I really respect that.

You're going to make the screen slightly shorter. We're just lingering for a while. Some Dynasty Warriors hit right here, Jim. This is a remake of a very new about, or is this? Could be Dynasty Warriors' DLC for the latest game or, yeah, maybe a remaster. Oh, yeah, it looks at a remaster. remake. I remember going to my friend

Jonah's house and seeing him play this and being like, man, this game looks so cool. I've never played it. Cool. That's where's three. They call it rematch and that remake. Who was that, Tim? Was that a Gen 4 Pokemon?

Jesus Christ. What are we doing? Is that a Gen 5 Pokemon? Oh, this is the soul's... You all know what it is. Scarlet Nexus. No. Digimon.

Time story. Code Bane 2. Thank you, chat. Thank you, funk time. Hell yeah. That's cool. Andy, if this is a new three, just show up at your door.

If you're choosing. Let's go. I'm based on the first shot of this trailer. Like, I want to feel something. I might go this because I feel like if I go Neo3, then everybody will be yelling me and go, well, you have to play one and two. I'm like, oh, that's a lot. That's a lot of video game. Yeah.

Codevain too. Remember first berser Kazan came out this year? Last berserk. Don't invoke that name.

Soul caliber three? Also arriving this year another all-time classic PS2. All-timer. Tomb Raider anniversary. I was always blowing away when there was dinosaurs in the game.

I was like, well, I didn't know we were doing this. We're doing this. One of PlayStation's most iconic franchises. Oh, G-T. Okay. Good. We go talk to Milo again?

What was that kid? What was that guy's name? That's not the copy shop off? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's what you got. Andy, I think the name of the song is Midnight over the castle. It's a bad ass.

I'm going to name my kid that. Wow. Grand Rismos Morrow's Rue-Ker-upon-Hon-Sooke over the castle, next to Bobbs. This one over the one

that's going to make it, we're making, we're doing, but we're this one of this year this year we,

we're we're, we're going to do not update of the speed-the-up-date of the

two of Restrack, This game looks so good. A lot of the other game looks so good. And when I see graphs like that, I'm like, I'm out. Yeah, y'all are crazy. Remember the movie? No, Aaron Turismo?

No, there's no video. No big deal! Was Aaron Paul in need for speed? Yeah. Yeah. Nice. Oh shit, we're birthing a new controller. Hell yeah. Volcano red.

God, war. Okay. You gotta change the light. It's all right. You can have the light be blue. Here you go. Here we go. Let's get the volume out a little louder out here.

Longer than I can remember. Fuck yeah! Holy shit. Holy shit. Jesus. Can we get more volume? Do they date it? They got to.

They've been dating everything. Oh, fuck. Oh. Very violent. Yes. Where I go. Japan. Oh, yeah.

Magic horror. How far I run. Oh. Sabreto? Or no, wait. Omega red? Yeah. Holy Beth.

That's always waiting. Just not for me. Oh, my God. Fuck, yes. Because I hate no It's God damn Yeah

Shit All right Okay Okay That looks great Hey man Great job Holy shit

Nipples are hard man Pull mast Yeah Yeah for one The question that comes up a lot To us at Insomniac Games Is Are you going to make a Wolverine game

That is as violent As visceral as the character In the comics Answer is no We've scaled everything back. It's impossible. We're going to do it. Working with Wolverine is interesting because part of the root to who he is is that he's an unreliable narrator.

He has gaps in his memory. So Wolverine doesn't really remember a lot of his life. And that's got to be an extremely frustrating aspect. He's this ball of rage and fury. But then he could turn on a dime and he could be very, very kind and tender in the next moment. When we're casting for someone like Logan, what we're looking for in character traits are. are someone who can convey a lot with very little being spoken. When you have that first moment that we show in gameplay,

there is so much emotion that you can feel behind his eyes. He looks relentless. He looks greedy. He looks angry. Also, he looks maybe a little sad. That level of acting and being able to just deliver that performance with believability across both spectrums was something insomniac, ourselves, we all agreed. He's the one. We don't need to see anybody else. Hey, I'm Liam McIntyre, and I play James Logan Howl.

in Marvel's Wolverine. That's not Pat. That one sort of works. Fans out there know what Wolverine is, who he is. My job is to try and find the essence of who Wolverine is, especially as you apply to our story. People hurt him, people take from him, he betray him.

He still fights for people who can't fight for themselves. It's one of the greatest honors of my life, one of the biggest responsibilities I've ever had, and one of the coolest things I've ever got to do. In that mocap, he's got a like John Cena mount. The entire game is built around. It's staying true and knows the Wolverine experience. And then how do we want to put our insomnia stamp on that?

How do we want to put our own spin and creativity? It still gives something new and fresh. He's the weather wizard in the flash. It's the full package. It is a level of detail that we've never been able to do before. You could see it in the trailer. You can see pores. You can see blood in between the little lines of his teeth.

I love the attention to detail. It's exciting that we're going to be able to bring that kind of fidelity to players. Wolverine is a character who goes to many places through the comics. I know this is stupid. I'm happy he's in the hand. There's a shot one. There was a chance he wasn't in the game. And you can see the breadth of Madrepoor in Lowtown.

It's always nice teasing the depth and the amount of characters that we'll be seeing in the game. Omega Red makes an appearance. Mystique is there. And there are some hints to other characters that fans, of Wolverine will recognize for sure. Another visual element of Marvel's Wolverine is the blood. The blood tech that was put into this game is pretty phenomenal. There's a part in the trailer where Logan jumps down and then he does the claws up

through the face. That one I thought maybe was going to be taking it too far, but I am so glad that we have it. It looks fantastic. Wolverine's combat, making that special, making that feel like him, making it feel different to anything else you've played, that's a tough job. What's so cool for me? is there was this one section of the game I got to try.

It was just visceral, immediate, and so incredibly satisfying. I was like, this is going to be amazing. We're pretty excited about the artwork that we're using on the cover. It's dynamic. It's rough-edged. You notice it doesn't look like our past games. It has a sense of urgency and forward movement and rage and fury, and that's Wolverine.

One of the cool things about insomnia is they are probably the most collaborative. group of people. I've got the craziest group. I feel proud of the team. I'm like, I'm like crying. We've been in a creative collaboration with Insomniac Games and PlayStation for over a decade

now. We've made some of the greatest superhero games of all time, and that was always the goal. Making games that are time. I think fans are going to be excited, but I'm also really excited about it because I'm really proud of what we made. We are focused on making the best Wolverine game ever. On behalf

of everyone at Insomniac Games and the Wolverine team, especially, we want to thank you for taking time to watch our trailer. We can't wait to show you more in spring of 2026. Awesome. I can't take another one. I can't take another. Don't throw a PlayStation logo now.

Boycott activity says, what's special about the game though? Shut the fuck off. You want to beat stabbing people today. That's what's special about the game. What does it do different? I play too many games where I stab people and ride a motorcycle. My fights will continue. Biggest news is Mega Man.

Yeah, of course. Dr. Wiley getting his own stage there. That's huge. You're welcome. Don't steal our logo. That's getting too close to our logo. Be careful. Andy will get you.

Be careful. We don't sue. We stead. That's what they say. good today, Greg? There we go. I'm not. I was very much ready to see you're like an idiot.

Dress like Wolverine. Another state of play in the books. We're about to break down everything we just saw in an episode of The Kind of Funny Games cast. But first, here's a word from our sponsors.
