What's up and welcome back to the Kind of Funny Games cast for Monday, June 3rd, 2024. Of course, I am your host, Tim Gettys. I'm joined by the new face of video games. Blessing Adioia Jr. Good day, Tim. The Big Daddy himself, Greg Miller. Waka, Tom. The nitro rifle, Andy Cortez.

Good morning, Tim. And the Master of Hype, Snowbike, Mike. Tim, I'm not going to wear my glasses today. I'm going glasses free. You're looking good. Something completely new for you, huh? Yeah. Let the eyes out.

I feel like with the predictions episode, though, Mike. You with the glasses on, it gives you that little extra level of, you know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, but I don't want to be able to see the chat today, so I want the chat to know that this is coming from me and only me, you know. Just so you know you're in about like 4,000-sized fun, and you won't be able to see you. Of course, this is our Summer Game Fest predictions episode. It's summer game fest season, a very exciting time for all of us at this table and for everybody watching or listening at home. We're going to be doing a whole bunch of predictions episodes this week, leading into reacting to the shows themselves.

Today we're just covering the Jeff Keely Summer Game Fest showcase itself, the show that's happening on Friday. Throughout the week, we'll be doing predictions specifically for the Xbox showcase and the Ubisoft showcase as well. But today we're talking about Summer Game Fest. Now, I'm sure we're going to reference those other events. You know what I mean? They might come up in a way that it's like,

oh, will the thing be here? No, it's going to be at that thing or something like that. What's going on? Well, that won't count as an official prescription. No. I'm just laughing at grandpa eating his porridge here. I've told you before, don't book me. Don't book me back-to-back shows.

I got a fuel up. I got this little scramble. Tim is finishing, Greg Gussidi. He's got a fuel up, everybody. He's got a fuel up, okay? So this is the- Marathon runners will stop and eat a pizza. You know what I mean?

That's what I've heard. I read it in an F-H-H-L time ago. An F-HM? me. Oh, no. We do these live shows each and every day here on YouTube.com slash kind of funny games and Twitch.com TV slash kind of funny games. It's a great time today.

You've already gotten a great discussion about PSVR2 on Kind of Funny Games Daily. Up next, you got Nick, Mike, and Andy returning to Eldon Ring. They're playing all week long. Anything you want to say about that in particular, Mike or Andy? Mike has set this week as a no cursing week. Okay. And the first person to break has to buy lunch. And Nick confidently looked at me on Friday, winked and said, I'll take a turkey sandwich on Friday.

Or Monday for lunch, by the way. Like, that's how confident he is that I'm going to be the first one to break. And he's playing Eldon Ring. Because, well, it's because I, he knows how I am. He knows how they are, more importantly. He knows how they get to Andy while all playing Eldon Ring. But my money is still on Mike himself. Yeah.

We'll see. We'll see. Somebody's fine lunch. It's going to be fun for everybody. If you're a kind of funny member, we got a whole bunch of fun stuff for you. Today's Greg Way is how Greg feels two years into Cole the Wiener Dog. I can't believe it's been two years, Greg. Very excited.

We have Nick here. There's a lot of licking. Are you doing for that sandwich? You good? I'm, I think I'm okay. I think I'm great. I'm feeling very confident. I'm not good.

It's not good. It's not good. To be honest, isn't he? Who put that pig there? So that stream will be happening after this. But also after this, we got a whole bunch of fun, kind of funny membership stuff going. We got the KF podcast later this afternoon that members can watch.

And also, right after this, Greg and I will be reacting to the Venom, the Last Dance. Venom. If you want to watch that live, you got to be a kind of funny member. Otherwise, you could wait. You can watch it later on YouTube. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Fargo, Brady, and Delaney Twining. You are the absolute best, and we appreciate it.

you so much. Today, we're brought to you by Ponkel, the developers of vampire survivors, but we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's start with the topic of the show. Summer Game Fest Predictions is the topic of the show today. Please, as you're watching the show, Super Chat In over on YouTube,

and we will talk about the predictions you have. If you have something you think is going to be there, not going to be there, let us know, and we will give our thoughts on that very thing as well. Top level, we've got some details about Summer Game Fest. Jeff Keely did his usual Q&A and answered a whole bunch of things

from people that kind of gives us a good glimpse at what to expect, where to set our expectations for this year's Summer Game Fest. He said Summer Game Fest will run for approximately two hours. Two hours. The show will feature new reveals, but mainly focus on updates on announced games,

including a new look at Monster Hunter Wilds, a new title from one of two K's biggest and most beloved franchises and more. According to him, It's a quieter year for big game releases. He's not saying that it's like a slow year or whatever, but it is a quieter year for big game releases. He hopes that Nintendo will participate in Summer Game Fest someday.

That is interesting there. Confirms. No Kingdom Hearts 4. Did he confirm it? Because he said you should lower your expectations. Yeah. I mean... No, he said they're setting themselves up for failure.

He meant disappointment, but you understand. Sometimes you mean predictions. I'm just saying insomitous. Nobody eats him alive while he eats his

breakfast scramble on air. Mike, God for dinner a little skill. Mike, I see you making some faces over there and the first thing you walk in today

you look at me and you're like, Tim, it's happening. Kingdom Hearts 4. Why would he say it? Tim, why would he even bring it up? You know what I mean?

Because he's got soaring and the back pocket about it. I mean, I'll just say this, ladies and gentlemen, elevate your expectations. Kingdom Hearts 4

slated, dated, summer game fest this summer. Lock. I can see it in the future. It's the Mike Howard lock. It's unfortunate for everybody involved, Mike. You're going to let a lot of people down with that way. Hey, we'll see. If you believe in your heart, if you believe in the power of the light and love, come on. Do we just have pickles? We do. Let it be your guide. You made that so quick. Yeah, I can't be in a bloody Mary, everybody. If I'm having a brunch out of a little glass, you know what I mean? I'm having a great time over here.

I'm hanging on my friends. Said a Bloody Mary would hit the spot. Kev makes me Bloody Mary, all right? So, just, you know, Greg sits down. Didn't know we were working in the Vatican, everybody. I'm looking at my lot time. And Greg sits down, and I'm hit with the most, like, just pungent tart smell. I was like, oh, my God, what is that scent? And I look down and I see, oh, man, it's still hitting even more.

Like, yeah, there's a lot of scents happening here. It smelled like when my dad ate tuna around me for the first time. It's like, man, that smells bad, dad. You know what I'm like, you're a dad now is right. Ladies gentlemen, can eggs, sausage peppers, potatoes smell bad? Oh, that sounds so good. I got another one. I'll bring you one tomorrow.

Oh, I don't think you down. I don't think it's supposed bad. It's just surprising. It's surprising. And that's fine. I don't have a beat with you. It's just fuck face over here. Oh, wow.

Trying to prepare it to fish. Like, I'd be caught dead eating fish. My thing about Jeff Keely and his statements are, Keeley is, I think, in a good way, sensitive to the internet. I don't think that he'd be out here lying about setting expectations because he doesn't want to deal with that heat. I think that he's very much like trying to set the stage of like, yo, don't get high for that because it's not going to be there.

the moment he pulls a bait and switch with that type of stuff, I think he's sending himself up for a failure that he's not ready for. He does not want. Jeff's done this for a long time now. And I think every year, Jeff has these kind of preambles that do help us set our expectations. Now, will people listen? Will he not?

That's a different question. You know what I mean? Mike, not listening is right. Yeah, exactly. But I think, yeah, he knows what he's doing here. Yeah. And I think the bait and switch would be a bad move. In addition to that, no wolf among us too.

Shocking. Yeah. But that game in development hell is people move around it's just a name of a studio. Why didn't you clarify that one? Out of all the games that exist. I think when people ask, yeah. Gotcha.

And also, he... It's such a specific game. He announced it, didn't he? Or he had the first trailer for it or something? Like, there's a lineage there with the Keeley showcase. He has not decided what shoes he's going to wear yet. So that's that. I don't believe that either.

Do you give him shoe recommendations? You're the Jordan King. No, he's not like, yo, Jeff, these would look good this year? He has his own, he has a style for his shoes. He has his own thing that I appreciate. They're similar to you, though. Like you got a vibe like that. It's very cool.

You appreciate the shoes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm getting that. It's like, you should. I don't know what brand of shoes he wears, but they're not, they're not Jordans. The show is largely focused on announced stuff like I was saying. It's not focused on games that are way off like 2026 or 2027. There is no big one more thing for this.

And I think that's important to say. Very important to say. Very good to say. And his hype level for the show is an 8 out of 10. So he himself, giving an 8 out of 10, which I feel like is the safest number. To give because you don't want to be like, eh, it's not that great. You know what I mean?

But he also don't want to be like, the day he comes out, he's like, it's a seven. Yeah, why are you doing it, Jeff? Exactly. The money, okay, that makes sense. Yeah, so that's all of the stuff that he has said there.

Now, let's go to us. Let's start with our hype levels. Go around the table on the kind of funny scale. What is our hype level for summer game fest? Starting with you, Greg Miller. Great question, Tim. You know, I would probably give it generously a 7.5. a good, right?

Like, I think I am expecting a fun show. As you look through the 55 plus developers and publishers on his little graphic here, I go, oh, I'm interested to see these games, but I'm not expecting my hair to be blown back. I'm not expecting a megaton. I'm not expecting one more thing that lights the world on fire. I would love to get those, but I'm expecting a bunch of solid games that I want, that I want to play, that I want to know more about.

And so on top of that, I think that gives room to be let down if it is a piss poor show. and then also get hyped up, all of us being together, right? That's the thing. This, you know, blessing was complimenting me on Games Daily today for the energy and the intro. And it's like, this is such a fun time right now. And it's like, even though it isn't, it is, it's E3. We're into E3 and that's always the most exciting time. And we are in that awesome part.

If you're just doing this and sitting here and predicting and running through it. Yeah, exactly. We're getting ready to go to L.A. And there's all these things and these crazy reactions and coming in on Sunday for Xbox, getting ready for Monday or Ubisoft. Like, there's so much fun in front of us that like, I don't want to, that to dissuade my, I'm excited for this week. But in terms of this showcase, probably seven, yeah, seven. Yeah, I'll probably run a seven. I think this is such a weird year. I think Jeff

commenting on it on himself being like, yeah, you know, I'm looking forward to it as like an eight out of ten type of thing, right? And him mentioning that we're in a slow pace for video games this year. I think puts it into perspective where I think I'm excited for the week, but the weirdest part of this year, it's like kind of a bizarre year where I am the most excited about Ubisoft and Xbox releases for the rest of the year, right? Like, I'm excited to see more Star Wars Outlaws and more Assassin's Creed Shadows, and that's going to be at the Ubisoft thing. I'm excited to see more Indiana Jones.

I'm still curious about a vow. I'm not excited about a Vought, but I'm curious about it. I want to see more of what it looks like. And, like, I don't expect to see that stuff here. And so what remains, I think, is just updates on things that we've already gotten, which Jeff says look forward to that. And so, like, I think it's going to be middle of the road. I'm somebody who, I feel like I'm not that harsh when it comes to just getting updates on

things. The show is going to be beholden to what the year is or what. what the next couple years are. So yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Seven out of ten, I think it's going to be fun. Yeah, I'm right there with you. I'm going to seven for this one where I feel like there's sudden expectations right and just kind of even without what they're saying,

just understanding where games are at and like knowing what's in the pipeline. Like I feel like there's room for some interesting surprises potentially or like updates on things you haven't heard about in a while that I am hopeful for, but also I'm not expecting anything that I'm going to be like, oh my God, that is like the most Tim Getty's thing ever. So I'm just looking forward to a good time I feel like the show Overall pacing wise and all that

Like they've gotten better and better And I feel like this This year I think will be better than Two years ago I think it was Where they really had nothing to show I think they have stuff to show I just think a lot of it's going to be stuff That known quantities

I'm just hoping we actually get Updates and new news on the known quantities Not just here's another trailer or something like that Andy what about you I mean everybody's just kind of right on With all of their statements so far I'm excited to see the unknowns. I'm excited to see a couple of indie titles that we didn't know existed,

and now we're kind of looking forward to these titles. But as far as everything goes, we kind of know what's on the horizon. We know a lot of these games that have been in preparation for quite some time, and they've been in development, they've been cooking, and now we're going to finally see, you know, immediately I go to Dragon Age 4, and that's like, I want to see what that looks like,

I want to see what a trailer looks like. I got to assume that it's going to be there, especially with EA, sort of on that list of all developers. And I'm not, I don't feel like I'm going to be surprised by a massive, huge title that, holy shit, they're remaking what? Like, I don't think that we're going to get that. And I think as long as my expectations are there,

I'm going to have a good time regardless. Big bye, close us out. Yeah, Tim, with the statement of an eight out of ten from Jeff Keely, I immediately drop a lot more than I probably wanted of two going into this. So I'm more at like a six out of a 10. I think that really kind of takes the wind out of my sales. I was hyped and excited for what Jeff Keeler will bring when he himself says it's an eight out of ten. It's like, well, the gamers out there who watch his show are much harsher and judge it differently. So I'm expecting more of a six out of a ten of experience, but for the

week, I mean, all of us being together what we saw last week with the fun of PlayStation's state of play. Come on, Greg. I mean, I'm at 11 out of 10. Are you kidding me? I snowbike might get to go down to L.A. with my best friends, get to celebrate video games, get to see awesome developers, and have a great week talking about games. Like, I'm all on board for this. But the show itself, I get worried, right? Because we're talking about a show that's like an hour and 40 minutes last year. And we've done the thing where we start squirming in our seats because it's going on too long. And you're not bringing the hype with certain pacing. And if he says it's an eight out of 10, I start to worry of like, well, am I going to look at this as a six out of 10 and kind of lose,

focus in the fun. You make a great point. Because, yeah, I think Jeff, calling his show an eight out of ten is like um like some saying they're six feet talls like all right you're probably like five ten is i thought you're gonna go with dev math how long's your game oh eight to ten okay so six to eight got yeah yeah i i got to assume that you're you know you're kind of grading your own shit on a curve right there um but yeah like that still doesn't bum me out in any way i'm just stoked i'm always stoked for this season regardless uh mike you called dynasty Warriors. Everyone's very excited about that. Do you have any predictions you want to make now? Yeah, I do. I want to talk about a couple things that come to my mind. I want to talk about Terminator.

There's a conversation about a Terminator game out there, and I'm kind of jazzed up about it, Tim. This idea of maybe you and your friends playing together and a Terminator hunting you around this world and this map, and I'm all about that. Where are these rumors coming from? Is this another alphonic game? This is not an elphonic game. I am looking for a Terminator game. I'm looking for some sort of announcement here. That is what my mind goes to on the things that I don't know about is that. When I look down, it's like, yo, you know what would get me hype again, Tim? Crimson Desert, okay?

You show me another insane Crimson Desert trailer. Guess what, blessing, we're going to the moon and back, you and I. Because that game looks bonkers, big dog. You're mad, man. That game is nuts. We've seen so much Crimson Desert already. And that's where my mind goes. He was like, how do you show me more?

You can just show me that stuff all over again. I'm getting excited again. It doesn't matter, boys. Wait, we've only seen one showing of it, right? But it was so much. We've seen a couple, right? No, this is it. This is the only trailer they showed.

This is the one where we jumps off and flies a little bit, right? I think this is the one that caught our attention, unless I'm thinking of a different game. I thought we saw it one more time before. But yeah, like, I'm with you. I think this game looks rad. So rad. I'm all about this one.

I'm looking for things like NCAA football to show up. Like, come on. EA, you got a moment here. You got to seize it. And like a Jeff Keely is showing. I think this is one of those where we get bored with soccer, right? When they show, you know, football. It's like, ah, you know, it's more soccer.

But, like, NCAA football after the 10-year hiatus, it's like, this is a moment where you could seize this and get really, the big mainstream audience excited. Getting rid of the loser nerds. Do you actually think they'll do it? Because they historically don't, right? Like, usually there's an EA play or whatever, but they usually keep the sports games away from Jeff's show because it is, like, so well.

Yeah, I agree with you on that. It's like, there's a worry of, like, the nerds here. at the table of like, oh, I don't want to see that, but like, nerds. It has been over 10 years. This is a historic game. This is a special game. I played some of the names of three colleges.

I went to college. This is a big deal that like, I think they should be showing off, right? Like, this is your moment of all years. Not next year because then people get bored. Are we going to do? Are you in for a dynasty? Oh, yeah. Every single time I hear you guys talking about, I'm like, oh, yeah.

I'm like, I do think, like, Greg, you alluded to this a little bit. But like, this is interesting where there is no. EA play it this year. So if EA does anything, it will probably be... There logos on the page. It'll probably be here. Skate. And on top of that, like, even if it was... Oh, yeah, skates actually... Skates a big deal. Tales of Kinsera being what...

Is it EA originals? Is that the brand of the years? Like, that was at a Keeley event. Not this, but game awards. So, like, we might get something like that. And of course you have Dragon Ages Andy brought up, right? Like, there's a number of E. Tiles that we're looking forward to. But yeah, that kind of rounds it out. I mean, I want a Monster Hunter Deep

dive. I think we saw a really cool moment with Monster Hunter gameplay. Now what I'd like them to do is like deep dive into one of the early game monsters. You all remember the electric flying squirrel in the last Monster Hunter world. I would like them to be like, hey let's show you the world really quick.

Here's one of our showcase monsters that will be in the early game. Boom. You got to imagine that's it, right? Because I mean they talk about including a new look at Monster Hunter Wiles. I hope that's just another trailer. I hope it is here. Bring somebody to the stage. Explain what we're about to see. Then we go off we're on the hunt. I'm so excited for that. Hell yeah. And so yeah, that's what, those are my

hype moments that I want to bring up now. I think we'll talk about some more in a little bit. Andy, Greg, blessed. Do it if you have something hot on your tongue that you're like, I need to predict this right now. Ladies and gentlemen, you can look at the graphic and see who's on there. Again, this is not, is it, you know, this is setting the stage for like the level of hype for this. Bloomhouse games is on there. Of course, they haven't done anything yet. They're the the game division of Bloomhouse. They're a horror thing. I think, obviously, since they're on there, they're going to announce their game at this show.

And my prediction is that it's either going to be in Amityville or paranormal activity tie-in. Like, it'll be something in one of those universes to play. Yeah. Because I've worked on those movies before. I feel like you have the Bloomhouse brand. What does that give you that a normal blooper team or just horror game in general couldn't give you?

It would give you access to IP that I think people would be stoked to do something with. And I think either a paranormal activity, you know, learning so much from what we've done and going on. I'm sorry, Blumhouse. Good point, Doug. single player? I would think so, yeah. I think, I'm not, I think some of the elements you've seen in a phasmophobia or even

Ghostbusters, right, in terms of like exploring like that, I think that could be what it would be fun, but I think they're telling you a narrative when they're going through. I think high fidelity, right? Like, you know, obviously we've had like the Blair Witch game from Bluebertine before that wasn't that great, but I think you had pieces of it that were all right with the camera and stuff like that. I could see a paranormal activity working that way. I could see just doing something in the Amityville.

house as a horror fan would be super fun for me. Is it VR? No. Please tip. We want people to play it. Is it what? VR. Oh, VR. Oh, no, no, no. When I'll jump in with going back to skate. This morning, they tweeted out the mcorp website.com with a thing that is, welcome to M Corp.

You're San Vansternam's largest investment conglomerate and leader in citywide. San Vamsterdam. City, you know, leader in citywide, revitalization. There isn't a problem. We don't have a solution for. If you click the link, it brings you to this fake website with pop-ups. But it is like a welcome to M-Corp thing. And they're going in, like, trying to build in the world of you.

Imagine this corporation that's probably going to be in the skate. The fact that they're doing this today, I think, that's a great point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At summer game fest. And you got any? I mean, nothing in particular, to be honest with you. Like, I'm stoked to just kind of get updates on what we get.

I would love to see EA surprise us with some sort of, remastered or possibly like, I don't want to say full remake, but just some sort of like Dragon Age kind of what they did with Mass Effect. If we got some sort of big... But aren't we got to be getting close to Dreadwolf, right? So I mean like when do you want to stay out of the way of that? Well, I have a feeling that like Dreadwolf, if Dreadwolf at all gets delayed it at any point or whatever to 2025,

I would love to see some sort of like... And in the meantime, here's what you can kind of get your hands on with Dragon Age and it'd be and I know they're very very I know they're not super into doing that because those games are available on EA access or what EA play part of Xbox Game Pass and all that but that's just more like a pie in the sky it probably won't happen but I would love to see those games get a bit a bit more love because they don't particularly look great and they're kind of they're kind of rough around the edges you know can I throw out three things go for it

uh... Miller's solid delta date or not date but like window I think they announced it for 2025. Does David Hader announcing? I mean, that'd be a really cool way to do it. Oh, my goodness. I don't think we get maybe an additional trailer with that. Blackmuth, Woo-Kong. We're getting closer and closer to that game.

That game is coming on, what, a few months now? I think it comes out in August, which some would say is fall. But yeah, I think, you know, we got the last big trailer for that at Game Awards. If I remember correctly, I would think that, yeah, you want a time out with Summer Game Fest

to have that last big. All right, here's the last big showing before we have the game come out in a few months. and then I wonder if we're going to get something from Hazelight you know the it takes two folks

they've been teasing that they've been working on something for a while now Oh of course yeah Yeah yeah yeah I could see that traditionally a game awards partnership there

But this could be Maybe it comes us as fuck E3 this time You know Yeah yeah But there is no EA play Right And if it's ready to be announced

during the summer Thanks a lot Austin Creed Especially if it's game Let's say if it's coming out next spring You want to get ahead of it And start marketing early I think now it could be the time

I got plenty of predictions for you you want them all? I mean, we're going to go through all the stuff. I just want things that you're like, I want credit for this. I'll drop one real quick. I know that on the list it only says Steam, but I'm going to lump Valve in there,

and I would love to see, like, a reveal of Valve's 5V5 multiplayer. Oh, wow. You know, they're Valerant or their Overwatch, whatever is that they're kind of going for. What's the name for that's been going around? I always blink on it. What was this?

The Valve 5V5 game. I don't remember. Yeah. Somebody in chat said Jeff had mentioned no Joseph Ferris. So I take it all back. Deadlock. Ones I want credit for, Timothy, is that I think you see Shadow the Ergree gameplay gameplay gameplay gameplay here. I think they come out and show you something cool from that, right?

Some kind of demo. That'd be nice. Yeah, exactly. Again, we're so close to that. We really haven't seen anything from it, right? There's been no gameplay trailer. Yeah, there has been. Yeah, there has been.

There's two trailers. I think a story trailer and a gameplay one. Yeah, the story trailer was the first one. and then last week was the story CGI version of it. Oh, okay, yeah. So I'm saying, yeah, I think it'll be a boss fight. I think they show you something cool there,

especially after the, you know, the relationship Jeff's had with Namco on that. And then the other one I wanted to put out is I think no Wonder Woman. Oh. I've seen that, you know, it's been a long time since we saw that. I can't fucking wait for that game and I do not. I am, where is my hype level at for that game?

I can't wait for that game and I am not even open to the idea of seeing it here. Let's, let's pause on that because we'll get to that in just a sec. I don't have anything that I'm like, oh, definitely this is a lock. is exciting. The one thing that I do think will be here is I think we'll get a video game movie or TV trailer that's not Borderlands. So, I don't know what, but there's just been so many things that have been announced or something. That's actually a good call. Yeah, something like that. But there'll be something, which I think is an easy prediction.

It looks like me to give you one. Go for it. Dokey V comes back. Maybe we see a little dokey V action. Oh my God. Mr. Surfy Bird. Sonic 3 Oh, that would be a good one. That would be Such a good pull If Jeff could pull that off Does Jeff have the stuff though?

That's the That Al Pacino on Jeff How much he doesn't Sonic I just don't know if the Paramount's thinking about video games that way If they are though, that would be awesome

The trailer is ready We know that Oh, do we? Oh yeah Oh yeah Fuck So Oh

Sonic 3 trailer baby It's happening Yeah I get up my hype level That's right It comes out December. Yeah. It's time.

Yeah, it is time. I think we get no rest for the wicked release date as well. Okay. A full launch on that with the consoles as well. I've been diving back in and no rest of the wicked. It's a great time. It's a great time. And then I want to know.

Do you guys have a get hype thing that is like not going to be there, but like it could possibly be there? I keep typing things down and then deleting them because I wanted to say like Ghost of Sushima, but the fact that he's like nothing that's 2026 or beyond. I'm like, well, yeah, we're not going to go streaming two anytime soon. So I don't know. It's tough. Obviously, that'd be great. Ghost would be great.

Wonder Woman, I'd lose my shit for. A Superman game, I'd lose my shit for. I mean, I think, do you want reasonable or no? I was going to say, Greg, being on the Wonder Woman path, maybe we get like a full thing of Captain America, Black Panther. Yeah, yeah.

Like, I think that's a possibility, especially because that, I feel like that usually happens whenever something is shown to a very limited audience at a presentation. A couple months later is when you get like the worldwide thing reveal it as opposed to like the people that are here in the studio or in this theater watching this presentation. It's possibly we get some sort of like, you know, more details on it, more gameplay at all, period, you know. PlayStation is there so that there's the questions of like, what could we get it? Would it be a ghost teaser? Would it be Santa Monica? Would it be Corey's game? See, that's what I was going to jump to is that like, I think is PlayStation PlayStation been to every major Jeff event in the last couple years because this last one,

Game Awards, they had Goddewa Vahala. Yeah. Like before that. Horizon, forbidden West. Was it Horizon? The Burning Shores, D.L.C. was announced. Oh, was it? At Achille event.

Oh, at Achille event. Yeah. And then also, like, the last of us, like, part one stuff and, like, last of us multiplayer stuff. Exactly. Yeah. But I think there is going to be a PlayStation thing there. But what is it, my friends?

We'll talk about that. It probably more Concord info. Any other get high, I mean like Hollow Night. Oh my gosh, I mean. That's the type of thing I'm talking about where it's like, it's probably not, but it could happen, you know. We need that to go out to 2025 because I counterpicked that. So like, come on. You know what?

Somebody in chat says Lego Horizon. I'm going to say it. I think Lego Horizon is going to be there. I would like those Lego sports games that we've talked about. There's some Lego sports games in the mix. That would be awesome. You know, you see Riot Games here and I go to the riot fighting game. Of course, we're waiting on that.

it would be awesome to get some information on that. 2XCO. Is it probably just arcane the next season? Yes, but like, you know, you already have Valerent out there. You got league out there. I think it's time to start showcasing that fighting game in a way where you get the public really excited and more knowledgeable about that. So it would be awesome to see that in action. I think the fact that this is before Evo certainly helps your case a lot with this prediction.

I think you're kind of right on with like, we've seen a lot of gameplay. clips, a lot of glimpses, hey, check out this little character thing, check out this other you know, a combo move that this one character can do. But I feel like, we haven't fully gotten like the, here is 2KXO. I am the riot representative. We are going to talk to you today about this fighting game that we're super stoked about. We've, we've gotten that, but we've just not gotten that at like a major thing. Like in a big official capacity. Yeah. It's always like, it's always like fighting fans know about 2KXO, but not necessarily like the general audience. Yeah, that's the thing is they talk directly to their community.

Right. And so, like, they're going to be an Evo for sure. I think the question is when is the right time to pull the trigger to, like, yeah, put it at a keely thing or put it on a bigger stage. I wonder if they wait until they get closer. Like, I imagine that this game is coming. I think they might have said that it's coming out next year. And so if that's the case, is it, do you, like, hold it for Evo? And then at Game Awards, do the big blowout.

And 2KXO or 2XCO is coming out in a few months. Like, this is what it is. Get hyped everybody. Beta out now. Like, I think you want to, you want to save a. save that for like a big push. It's wild that like as much as I don't love the name, I want a T-shirt.

The logo looks cool. I hate the name so much. I love it. I'm alone on this, but I love it. All right. We're going to take a quick word from our sponsor. When we're back, we're going to break down a whole bunch more predictions. This episode of Kind of Funny is brought to you by Punkul,

the developers behind vampire survivors. Did you know that vampire survivors is out on just about everything? That's right. You can play at this very. second on PC, Xbox, Switch, and mobile. And if that wasn't enough, it's coming to PlayStation this summer with a platinum trophy. And I just so happen to be stoked. Why? Because it's awesome. Vampire Survivors is a gothic horror casual game with rogue-like elements where your choices can allow you to quickly snowball against the hundreds of monsters that get thrown at you. Mo down thousands

of night creatures and survive until dawn. Pick your character, spend your gold on power-ups, and get to being the bullet hell in the game that features absolutely zero vampires. Ponco even just released the new DLC Operation Guns featuring the classic and timeless Konami IP Contra. We've been talking about this game for years, so there's no reason not to support it.

Now, it's as affordable as a cup of coffee. Get Vampire Survivors on your platform of choice this very second, and thank Ponco for sponsoring Kind of Funny. What's Discord going to announce? You joke, but that is something that's going to happen, right? They're going to have something or whatever. They did recently say it ends up sort of pressing like, we're back to gaming. Yeah, we're going back to focus.

They expanded too far and lost a lot of money, I think. That happens. We're going to start with just some general topics that I want to talk about. These are things that don't necessarily fit into any of the big third party or first party publishers. Start with the most general. Will there be a big new game announcement? Obviously new games will be announced, but is there going to be something announced that's like, oh shit? Like that's like a Judas type announcement.

A Judas type thing or a sequel to an established franchise that we. Oh, God. Bioshock. I think so. I think when you look again at the partners, the round one and the 55 of them and all this jazz, one of the notes I put down on mine, right? I'll read it so I'm no, no, I'm not lying, right? Indies are going to steal the show.

I think it's going to be the smaller games that come in and wow you. And I think a lot of those are going to be, as you look through this, people coming from obviously Day of the Devs where there's always something cool, but Devolver being out there having a bunch of cool things. I am 8bit presents. There's a bunch of different labels out here.

Even Netflix, right, who partners and has different things. Like, I feel like you're going to have a lot of these smaller games, Thunderful being there, that are like, okay, cool. Like, this is a dev team you knew from anything they already did that you like enough, but now they're making it not the sequel to that, but the next thing, and it'll be that spiritual successor in nature of it. Oh, Barrett. I'm putting money on the fucking table,

Catana 1, full-on sequel, no longer DLC coming out. Oh, or whatever they call the sequel. Oh, my God. It's been five years. I think it's going to be that kind of thing. You got my jolly jittering right now, man. This looks fucking amazing. You go, what is this? And then you see a logo like, oh, shit, it's the people who did X, Y, and Z. Let's fucking run with it. And let's go with it. Yeah. I think I think we will, especially with Jeff saying a new title from one of two K's biggest and most blood franchises. Like I feel like that's probably going to be like a something of consequence. I don't think it's just going to be. To find something like a mafia four. Yeah, we've had this conversation now. We've talked about this of like, yeah, mafia coming back all

a sudden, but we know, yeah, it's going to be sieve, right? That's the biggest downfall. It's like, you get hyped and it's like, oh, I would love that. But then it's sieve. But like people will be rejoice over that. But here's my thing. You're not at this table. Here's my thing. I worry, I wonder about that. Because we already talked about it. Jeff Keely is student in the game.

He knows how the internet acts. He knows what goes on. So many people I've seen before we went live talking about it. I think I've seen super chats about it. Talking about borderlands, right? Yeah. A beloved 2K franchise coming back. I've seen it, of course,

about the one, the only, Bioshok, right? We know they've been working on those. I think those fit the bill of saying a beloved more than Siv. I think Siv's great. No knock against Siv. I just, I feel like you wouldn't say something that ambiguous, knowing that the mainstream gamer who's paying attention to Jeff Keeley is going to jump to a borderlands, a mafia, like a bigger franchise than SIV, which is great and amazing.

And I'm not taking shots of the Siv community. I'm just saying like, I'm right there with you. I feel like. I think it's borderlands. You think so? Yeah. Because I mean like we had Tiny Tina announced at a Kili event. I feel like with the Borderlands movie and everything like just the way that they're going to want to release something around that if possible.

Yeah. Is it too soon? I don't think so. It's been a while, right? I mean, it's borderline's three, definitely, but it all depends. I mean, even since 2019 was three, right? I think it all depends on what team was working on Tiny Tina. Like, when we think about just the amount of time in between all those projects,

was Tiny Tina a smaller production? Was that just a portion of the main sort of 2K team there? Or was it, you know, a larger part of Gearbox that was working on Tiny Tina? That way, you know, if it wasn't a larger group of it, maybe they were kind of getting pre-pro started on Borderlands 4 or whatever. Yeah. That's a bigger question for me. Yeah, I was, I don't remember anymore.

Developed by Gearbox, it says, with support from Lost Boys Interactive. I'm not sure how much Lost Boys did on it. Do we think we see Judas? Yes. Do we get a date? No. I get the vibe that is way further off. There was the previews that I think Jeff actually did with Ryan McCaffrey and then

like the friends per second crew and they were talking about it as being like super early and like it was in good enough shape where they're able to kind of speak to oh yeah this is what the gameplay loop is this is exactly what they're going for but it sounded like something that is still way early like not far enough along to where they can like even call it a full preview like they just called it an early look at it so i don't think it's coming out soon right i'll put it at least maybe a couple years away yeah i don't think so i think you see it i could see them dropping and doing something and again kind of peeling back what they showed

appealing back the curtain on what they showed Lucy and all of them. Did this trailer even give us a year? No. Okay. Eat the cookie. Gave me a boner though. Oh, Jesus. Wow. I thought I know. Jumping off of that. Jum it off of that. Biosec. Is it time

for it to reveal itself? I mean, yeah. I feel like I've been hearing about this game forever. Cloud Chambers work on this. Blah, blah, blah. Like, who knows? they haven't done the official reveal in it, right? But it comes up in earning reports and these things and these little statements. So, yeah, it's time. And again, I feel like that would fit the bill more for this in terms of the beloved franchise more than SIV, which I think is also imminent.

And I'm not going to be shocked if it's there. But I mean, like, I don't know. You're hyping a lot of people out for SIV, which is a big deal, but not the biggest deal. It's not a Jeff Keeley deal. It just feels weird to market Bioshock and Judas at the same time. Like both these are two. I always forget is both these are 2K, right? Yeah, it would take two.

Or take two. However that works at the umbrella of Ghost story games, Ghost Camp. Ghost story. Ghost story. Ghost story and Cloud Chamber. Yeah, it just feels weird.

I know, like, at some point, they're going to have to reveal it. It's not like they're going to sit on Bioshock for, like, however many years until they get Judas out and then start that way. I would think, though, that I would think Bioshock's got to be closer than Judas. Oh, you think so? I would think so.

I think Ken is very ambitious. The game sounds very ambitious and very cool, but to your point, like the preview didn't make it sound like it was like really far or like ready to go. It wasn't prime time. But I also wouldn't feel like a Bioshock is ready to go. I know they've been working on it forever. He's been working on it forever. That's my thing where I hope, especially for as much scrutiny as the next Bioshock will be under, my hope would be here it is.

Take a look and it's coming out in three, four, five months, whatever it is. Like, it's imminent. Yeah. I think my thing is like, you know, I think a lot of that time is probably being taken being like, but what is the next Bowshock even? When I hear them talk about Judas and how they're going for more of almost like a rogue light structure and the ideas that come with that. I'm like, okay, cool, that sounds like the next step for what a Bioshock type game is. But for Bioshock proper, then, is the idea that we're just going to do the same thing from Bowshock

one to an infinite, but in a new location? Are you going, like, do those, I guess, marketing cycles interrupt each other, conflict with each other at all? Or like, are you taking your time to be like, hey, we're going to make something way different or we're going to stick by the same script? I think that's where a lot of that comes in in terms of taking your time with it. Yeah, I don't know. I also don't know.

Like, I don't know if this is the right place either, right? Like I feel like something as big as Bowshock. Again, this summer game fest being the thing where, hey, Jeff Kulay is talking about it as an eight out of ten, it feels like he's tempering expectations. I don't think a biosechok automatically skyrockets that up into like a nine or ten territory. But does Bioshock still have that? Yeah. I think it does for the way Jeff would be talking about the show.

Yeah, I think that's a spot on point for Bles that I think that his type levels would be a bit higher if we were going to see any sort of reveal of that. But I don't know if it's, I don't know if it comes out before Judas. That's where I'm like, maybe a little pizza bet with Greg right here. Put it on. Yeah, let me get in that. I want a pizza too.

Oh, sure, yeah. I'll buy you both pizzas. Wow, wait, who's, so I'm the only one. I'm saying Bioshop before Judas, you guys are saying Judas before BioShare. Yeah. Yes. And no pizzas are exchanged to one of them actually comes out.

I'm not falling for this where we say, they say something that it all changes. You know what I mean? I see good. Chat remind me. I'll forget all about this. I've been drinking a Bloody Mary. Mike, do you thoughts on, Bioshock?

No, I just, you know, thinking about blessing and talking about marketing and all these games looking similar. We also have Clockwork Revolution, which my mind immediately goes to, like, all three of these games are going to look identical to me. And so, yeah, I'm excited. I mean, Bowshock would give me super pumped. Judas looks awesome. I'm all about this. They all got the colors and the movement. They all look the exact same.

Let's talk Wonder Woman. Greg, you're definitively saying you do not think it'll be here. If not, where do we see it then? Do you ever see it? Do we ever see it? Do we ever see it? I don't know. Wonder Woman.

Yeah, of course we do. Of course we do. Yeah. Especially with the... Yeah, man. It's something like you doubt myself immediately. Especially with all the WB cancel and everything? Well, yeah.

I mean, I got it. I have a lot of like insiders telling me that David Zazov loves. Wonder Woman, you know, he's the one that's really championing this one. Yeah, I don't know if this is the place, but I think that, yes, we will see it in general, if that's what y'all are asking. Did we ever see this game? Yeah, I think so. Especially with...

This is three years ago we saw this trailer. Is that right? No. I know that Blessing and I did a games daily, like several months ago that was, you know, we were worried about, is this going to be a multiplayer game because they were looking for some sort of multiplayer type... December 9, 20, 21, so two and a half years ago. Yeah.

And they definitively came out. That's how bad it was. They had a job listing that hinted at live service, that it was so bad they broke and came out like, hey, they walked a bad. This is not a live service game. We are not a live service.

They're doing fine. I think we see it. It's based off of, like, we don't really have a good, like, a good look at anything right now from WB games, right? Like, what's the next game coming from WB? I think you're more like,

oh, I'm sorry, I don't have an answer to that question off the top of my head. Well, the next game, from a WB publisher as publisher. Publisher would be the Arkham game

probably for meta, right? But like, what's the next flat game? We're flatters, baby. PS5 flatters. I don't know.

And my thought would be, and this is going to sound fucking crazy. But take it to the bank is Greg's bet. I think you're more likely to see a suicide squad reveal a game,

the summer game fest than you are Wonder Woman. Yeah, 100%. Let's show you, Miss Freeze. Let's do this thing, blah, blah, yeah,

I'm not expecting to see Wonder Woman and I'd be surprised even for the suicide squad thing just because I feel like WB is kind of in shambles right now so I don't think they're even thinking about Keely or any of this stuff they're just like... But I'm sure Jeff is knocking on their door like he knows that PR team even better than I know that PR team.

And again if you're trying to make a case for suicide squad hey we've been out of the Joker and now you're getting this freeze and da-todda this would do it again if you don't do that then it's you know it's dead already but I understand that like WB is in such a weird place but it's also just weird for a publisher to have nothing on the horizon.

I know we just got multiverses, right? Well, you keep trying to sell yourself and nobody buys it. You know what I mean? But we've gotten all of the major WB releases and there's just nothing left. So I feel like you put, if you're operating as like a regular publisher, you put something out there of like, hey, this is our next thing going on. Maybe that is WB and David Zazlob and like everything being canceled. But I think also maybe it's a good time to announce or, you know, re-show Wonder Woman. Show something.

Show something. Yeah. Show signs of life. I don't know. You know, here you go. You want it? You want the exclusive? I'll give you my Jeff.

grub information, all right? Oh. In the past year, because I'll leave it ambiguous. I have talked to an insider who was like, this game's troubled. That's it. That's all I'll say. Yeah. So I don't hold out hope that it's in a place to show something.

And I think you could be. You could come out. Obviously, plenty of games are doing it. And again, what is troubled actually mean? It's not like I got like, oh, man. People are falling through level four, some shit like that. But it's like, I think it's not where they want it to be. I don't think it's ready for prime time.

And then I go to what the fuck is WB doing? What do they want to do? What are they trying to do these games? Again, I can easily see it. You close that studio. You cancel the project. I think we've also heard that to be devil's advocate to Greg right there. We've also heard several stories across a long time of video game history of like this game was totally fucked until it got to.

Totally fucked until like one month of development is where we sort of passed a lot of milestones and it got to a really good spot. So, you know, I didn't, you know, no disrespect to you, Greg, but I think you're fucking wrong. I'm just telling you what I got told. Get a fighter pack in Mortal Kombat as well. I'm sure that Homelander will be there again. Home landers come out seven times. I swear to God. How does this keep happening?

It's all right. Then the big one. Let's just get it out of the way. Hollow Night Silk Song. Is it here? Is now the time? Yes. Andy Cortez.

Coming with the yes. What do you think that looks like? I think it's very similar to the first time we ever saw Silk Song, which was, you know, at that, point just a DLC and it was just this you know smaller sort of project it's obviously ballooned in in scale based on everything we've heard and based on how long it's taking i think it's finally time especially with all of the listings happening a couple months ago with like you know korea kind of getting their ESRB rating and um Australia yeah Australia as well yeah i'm sorry to

store page i think the only reason we don't see it here is because like i think if you put team cherry on that fucking graphic it's over it's a dead gift. way. So yeah, I do think that we get the full reveal here. Take it to the bank, okay? But if the check fucking doesn't clear, don't get mad at me. Can I do a pizza bet with you, Andy? Sure. I don't think it'll be here. I think it'll be at Xbox showcase. The X. Oh, who? My bet is that I think they come out and cancel it. Whoa. I think it's done. Everybody we tried. Any chance that this game is shown this week at any event without a release date. I think there is.

I hope so. No. Just like chaos. No, you don't show without a release date. You can't. You do not show it without a release date. Remember when, you know, they showed Hell played Senuous Saga a million times? And then, you know, we were talking about, what was the game awards this last December.

And we're like, if they showed again, they got to show a date. And then they did this huge musical presentation for it. And then they didn't give a fucking date. I think it's possible for any game to come back after a while and not have a release date. I do think Senoa had a lot more that they were trying to sell the audience on. And I don't think that Silk Song is in a spot where it really needs to, it kind of just sells itself at this point, I would say. I don't think you show your,

I don't think you show anything of this video game again without a date. Yep. And I think they know that. They're so far and deep into this that they know how stupid of an idea it would be to show a trailer without a date. And the trailer is a black screen. White text pops up in development. development. Working title.

And then other kind of like big games that have been announced, but we haven't seen in a long time, 007 from I.O. Oh, yeah. It has to be shown somewhere at some point. And I do feel like it is a slam dunk keely event type announcement, whether that's this or game awards. I don't feel like it's ready.

I don't feel like now is the time. But this is one that I'm very hopeful. I want to see it. it, but I predict we do not see it. Yeah, they also have the fantasy project going on as well, so they got a couple things going on, but yeah, this would be the mega hype announcement. If you

get 007 from I.O. Interactive at this Jeff Keeley event, that you bring it up to a 10, Jeff. Okay, you can say that's a 10 out of 10, big dog. Barry, who's game player you're showing? I don't know. Whoever this is hilarious. I guess this is the last

level for Hitman 3, and it's the most like, hey, we want to make a proof of concept of 007 level, so here it is. I think all of the all the hype that I've just been hyping myself up with with Hollow Night and even with this immediately negates itself with what

Blessing was mentioning earlier that I don't think Blessing, I don't think Jeff Keely gives us an 8 out of 10 if these games are there. I think he'd be a lot more hyped if there were a Silk Song announcement along with this. So everybody I just said screw it, throw it out the window. Throw it out everyone. Does that mean

it still has to show up at Xbox though for me to win this pizza bet though? yeah. Yes. Okay. Let's move on to some hardware. PS5 Pro,

the discless Xbox Series X do either show themselves. At Jeff's show, no. At Jeff's show, yes.

I don't think if the Xbox is going to be anywhere to be at the Xbox showcase. And I think the, I still think the PlayStation 5

Pro would be revealed way closer. Or maybe a blog post, but I don't think, like, I don't think they reveal it in like a September if it's coming out

in November. Yeah, doesn't track me. I mean, that's not how PlayStation rolls usually with how they want to announce their hardware. And then, yeah, with Xbox being two days later having their own press conference, you could do it to drive hype, but you have enough hype. You don't need to worry about that. Yeah, I don't think so either.

That doesn't feel like the hardware show. PlayStation Studios here. Do we see Ghost 2? You see Astrobot again? More Astro. Just a simple, easy title. Get people excited. I mean, that's the thing, right?

We talked about this already, but the pre-ordered date being, was it that day? Yes, Astrobot's pre-order is that day. and the day before it's Concord. That doesn't seem like a coincidence. No. Like I feel like that means that they're going to do something, but what is it? Like, do they show off some cooler collaboration than they've shown so far? Like, I think so.

You know, I think the way we're pitching a lot of this is starting to sound like developer comes out, talks to Jeff a bit, then explain what we're going to go see and we go see it. And so this is, we're picking up an astro on the middle of this level. He's, you know, he's about to run into an old friend and he runs into Aloy. And they run through and do whatever they need to do in that universe to then get to a big boss to beat that thing and then drive home you should pre-order. I hope what is the argument for it being $70. Like I think it is, hey, we pick up, we're doing all this and oh, look how big this world is,

look how beautiful it is, look how much, you know, jam-pack collectibles there are, 70 bucks, but like, you know, look at it. Just look at it. This looks like $70, right? And I'm going to say yes, it does. You don't care what it looks like you're saying. Yes, it does. I would love Ghost, but it's that's getting to be the PlayStation Silk Song where it's like

you predict it for every show, right? Where it's like, it's got to happen eventually. Like, they have to do it eventually. That's such a showcase thing for me, though. Yeah, said something earlier that I'm like, huh. You think the ghost isn't coming until 2026. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. You don't, you don't think, like, is there a chance late 2025? Because that's kind of where my head's out with this one. Really? Yeah. Because them talking about we don't have any tent pole, PlayStation things, and like the date that they gave was April, which is probably just tied to quarters. But, um, I feel.

like that means that they're going to want something. I mean, that's raining too. I guess the question does become like what else do they have Blue Point doing? Yeah. Or Toodle. Yeah. Good points. When do you think we get ghosts too? Returnal. The longer we don't hear about it the

farther, I mean, 2026 I don't think is outrageous to stop and think about. Yeah, yeah. I, you know, I would love it closer than that. But the fact that it's not even that we haven't seen it, it's like there's no leaks. You know what I mean? Like usually when anything's being worked on ever, someone talks to someone that talks to someone and you hear a little bit like,

oh, okay, they're getting, that's, we know that's percolating, we know that's getting further along in production. Whereas I just don't hear that ever about Ghost 2, which again, sucker bunch is a small team, but still, you'd imagine somebody would have something eventually about that. I mean, there's also people talking about Wolverine, possibly being next fall. I figured where we're at. I forget what did the leak say.

I want to say the leak said maybe like 2026. Is that around? But maybe chat can correct me? Yeah. Oh, man. I'm getting such a strong scent of pickles over here. Oh my God. Sorry. I'm sorry that food has smells to it. People also, I think there's also a venom thing in the leak. And people were saying that

the venom was 40, 25, again, correct me if I'm wrong chat. But I also just don't... 26 is what it's saying. I also don't know if I believe that venom thing exists still. See, that's interesting. Let's jump off that because Jackie P. writes in and says, I think it's a slam dunk prediction that Spider-Man 2 DLC will be

announced at Summer Game Fest. Both Burning Shores and Volholla DLCs were announced at Keeley events. I do think it's interesting. If you take out the idea of like DLC being the city that never sleeps type thing and thinking instead a Miles Morales or a venom, that could be interesting. I don't expect it.

I definitely don't expect it. I think that that is not an 8 out of a 10. That is like Yeah, you're confident. When somebody asks you about your score and like how should we be hyped and stuff, you tease a bit that like we got something really nice here. So because of that, I don't think we get any insomniac

stuff. But I do think we're going to get some Spider-Man project, whether it's Venom or just more spying some sense in the next two years. Oh, for sure, yeah. Yeah. I think I could see there being

Spider-Man 2 DLC here. Like, I think there's some stuff, like some threads coming off of Spider-Man 2, Barrett's giving me the face. Spider-Man 2 that we didn't get closure on. Of course, maybe you hold that stuff for Spider-Man 3, but I could see you turning that into DLC. Yeah. Do we forget what happened with the

city that never sleeps? Like, nobody cared? Nobody gave a shit. I think they learned that lesson, and that's why, you know, Miles Morales was its own game. I agree with that. But I also think one of the problems with City that Never Sleeps is that it was episodic. And they, like, I remember playing the first chapter being like, eh, and then I just never showed up for the other two. And also the story wasn't that interesting or good. Yeah.

But, like, if the story, it's hard to talk about without spoiling Spider-Man 2. But if the story featured a major Spider-Man villain, that might have been. I feel like that does Venom, right? Like, I feel like, that could be. I mean, that could be. I feel like could be tied to that so directly easily. so that's kind of, like here, Burning Shores and Valhalla, like they're both DLC, but in completely different ways, you know?

So I just feel like I expect whatever Insomniac's next, quote unquote, DLC, I don't think it's going to be an episodic thing. I think it's going to be one product that has more polish and value than what we would have traditionally thought of as insomniac DLC. I hear you, I just don't, I feel like Spider-Man, especially with the introduction of Wolverine, I think now you have that baton where Wolverine Lodrops in 2026, right? right, you're then thinking that would have been a Miles Morales space, right?

But you don't need it anymore because now you have a Wolverine. And so you can kind of pass it between those franchises or expand on it. I'm like the leak suggested or did whatever. I don't know. I don't see any Spider-Man stuff here. I think your best bet for DLC here is Hell Divers too. I think we talked about this leading into state of play, right? That there was the event happening inside of Hell divers where we were trying to eliminate the term it.

We did it. Now there's a big old black hole where the bug planet was. The idea would be that would be, introduce the third faction, right, the guys from the last, the first game, right? So I feel like you could do that as a really fun part of SGF. You can see this as like DLC though, right? It's more just like a big update kind of. Yeah, exactly.

But, you know, you put a war bond with it. Maybe, maybe even you do, oh my God, the Illuminids are here, whatever, or Illuminites, whatever, how I ever pronounce it, are coming through and they're here and they're available today and you can, we need to go fight them and maybe tease the expansion that, you know, I mean, whatever your big thing they're working on eventually for that is. Did you ever finish Rise of the Ronan? No, I never did.

Got sidetrack with the reviews. would rise the ronin dLC make sense do you think oh i never finish it so i don't know yeah probably here's more shit to go do over here and kill like that's what the game is the world doesn't end at the end of the rise of the ron and i think maybe that could be the answer was the only thing that wolong got the lies of peace sort of uh tie in collaboration i could see a collaboration thing but i don't know if you ever get like a large thing for rise of the ron i feel like i feel like team ninja is so set on just put out the next one that we're you know, they're already working on the next sort of souls like combat.

They're like annual that studio. Yeah. I got a feeling they're just kind of working on the next thing. Do we see Lego Horizon? No. I'm saying yeah. Mike said yes earlier. Yeah.

I wanted to see a Lego sports game, but yeah. Lego Horizon would be sick. I mean, why not? You know what I mean? That's two great properties to showcase at Jeff's place would be really, really dope for sure. So you're saying, yes, you sound pretty confident in this. I put myself like a seven out of ten confidence. But like, yeah, like, I could see it.

I could see them holding that from a state of play and going, actually, I'll show this the Jeff's thing. We want to go for like the wider appeal. I feel like state of play is still treated as a thing of, hey, this is for like the PlayStation audience. This is more focused on the fan base, especially at not being a PlayStation showcase. I think a Jeff Keeley showcase puts it on more of a main stage.

And then like, if they do a day, what's it called? What's the day's play thing? the Summer Game Fest Playdays. Thank you. Maybe you can have it playable there, right? Maybe you can sell it to people in that way. I thought it was way... The first time we heard about this,

it sounded like it was more just something that they were super into. I didn't realize that it was something that may have been worked on already for several years. I can look it up. Those initial sort of stories of Herman Holtz talking about it

seemed like he was like, yeah, we're stoked about this. We're going to be working on this project. It didn't really, to me, seem like, hey this thing got leaked and they've been working on this thing for two and a half three years or whatever it felt early yeah um moving on all less confined is the tall neck lego the last playstation thing how much concord do we see um oh man i think we i think whatever they have to show of it we won't see it again until this

uh rumored showcase that i'm rumoring myself oh in the fall oh wow really isn't confirmed, but I'm like, doesn't come out? Yeah, the game comes out in like... Very soon. September. And you got a beta and you figure the day before they launched the pre-orders for this. So in the same way, Astridor doing the same day is one thing. I say what I said. This would be a great chance to come back and answer some of the criticisms, right?

Of like, not like we've seen people bitching, but like, we're going to run you through our new game mode. Like, right, we're doing this. Let's actually, we've seen the characters. You've seen a whole bunch of hype footage. Now, let's go through point. A to point B. That's the correct thing is right. Yeah. Here's three characters. Here's their movesets. This is what they do. This is how they impact

the battle. Hey, this is a cool game mode that we created. We already saw them showcase the little blue robot of like, hey, clearly that's like oddball and halo where you grab the blue robot, hold it for as long as you want. Maybe they showcase that. If I was a betting man, you see zero Concord. We do not see Concord until it's beta time and then

we start to revive this. But as of right now, I say we've seen enough of this. Don't show anymore. A lot of it's out there. I'm I'm stoked for this game. I see, I'm with you, Aeney. I'm stoked for this game, too. I'm really excited about it. I think the devs come out on stage.

I think this is one of those ones where, again, in recent PlayStation showings at Summer Game Fest, you've seen the devs come out, you've seen them talk about things. I think you have Concord devs come through. I think, yeah, you show off one of the modes. I think you show off some of the characters. I think this is the kind of game that as PlayStation,

you don't treat it like a god of war or like a single player thing where it is. All right, here's one trailer. All right, we'll see you when we're way closer. I think this is a thing. This is a game that you shove in people's faces up until launch. I wouldn't be surprised right if you have a state of play dedicated to Concord before launch. Yeah.

Hey, here it is. We're doing 20 minutes on it. We're going to run you through characters, their classes, their abilities, the modes, the matches, the things. You have like a two and a half month marketing period for this game, right? Because like this game comes out August. September 6th, or is it August? I can't remember. I always mix it up with Astrobot.

It's one of those. Astrobot is September. Okay. Concord is August, 20th. So you have like two months. Yeah. You gotta shove this in people's faces. Megan Erred in the chat.

They think that we see it here and that it should be playable at playdays so that the press can actually play it and have the conversation to be there. I feel like that would be best case in the way for this game because I'm even thinking about like foam stars last year. I was going to say that's foam stars for me last year, right? It's like we saw it. We're like, yeah, I don't know about that. And then I came back and said, hey, we had a really good time. And I enjoyed this, right?

Like, that's where you would prove it right there for sure. I would lose my shit for a Final Fantasy 16 PC. We'll get there. We'll get there to a sec. Okay. Yeah, yeah, we have a little square section. But sticking with PC ports, though, Last of Us 2. Do we see it?

Not on PC already? No. Oh. The Last of Us one remake was on PC. There's so many. Like, Las Vegas has come out so many times. It's hard to keep track at this point. I think we do.

Yeah, I'll say, yeah, fuck it. That's the type of thing where PlayStation's going to be there. I can see them. Like, they gotta announce it at some point. It's going to happen. You gave your beat to Ragnarock already, right? at the state of play. Yeah.

You can come out here. Jeff has a history with Noddy Dog. Go for it. Getting prepped for the HBO show. Yeah. Yeah. I can see it here for sure.

Moving on to Kojima Productions. Will Death Stranding 2 be there? Yes. Will we get a Death Stranding 2 release date? No. I'm saying no and no. You don't think it'll be there.

Oh, they're just at the Game Awards, right? With that big old trailer. Do you want to go back and look at how many Death Stranding one trailers? there were. I mean, you're not wrong. Yeah, that's a good point. And how many were at Jeff shows? But like, that was the big nine minute one, though, right? Yeah, that was like the big one. I feel like, you know, how long is Kojima in the

editing booth for? I mean, he lives there if he's not with George Miller as God. Fair. I feel like he only ever does one big nine minute trailer. I'm kind of getting closer to busy on this. I don't know if we see it. Because also, like, this game's not coming out until next year. I'll think later next year. You have so many more chances to show this game off. I think it's true. Summer Game Fest would be a random place for it to pop up.

I feel like Jeff is like, now, let's take. this for Game Awards. We'll make this start one more thing. That's not bad. You guys are convinced me, I thought it was for sure, but you know, you're making good points here. I'm going to stick with it. I'm going to say yes. But I think Kojima shows up in some capacity. Oh, yeah. I think he announces a new podcast. Yeah, he's going to

talk about it. Or another season of his podcast. Well, yeah, let's talk about this. Is Kojima there? What does he do? Um, I think he's just chit-chatting. I think we've seen that before. Cracks a beer on stage. I think we've seen in the past. I think we've seen Kojima just like, you know, Jeff loves chatting it up with old Kojima. So, yeah, I think he pops up in some capacity.

I don't think he shows off a new trailer, but he just says, yeah, we're stoked about this, about this new thing. And, you know, you've also got, you know, what's the other project for PlayStation, the stealth action game? I think there's just mentions to things that he's working on and excitement for games or whatever, and that's about it. I don't think we see him unless there's some announcement. It might be a Spotify podcast. Oh, yeah. But I feel like he's not involved with this unless there is like something new.

Because even like the year that you're thinking about, Andy, where it was just like the kind of video call and he's like, I'm rethinking how I'm telling stories. Like they still had like Death Stranding DLC to announce. Oh, gotcha. Okay. Look at his little cute baby. It's hard to make a baby cute in video games. They nailed it right there. And then there's the overdose, right?

OD. Yeah. That's the Xbox one? Yeah. Yes. So potentially later in the week. Moving on, let's move on to Xbox. Any first party Xbox game shown.

And the question would be like, is there something that you double dip on, right? That you show a shorter trailer here and then you deep dive during the actual show. Indy? Call it duty. Is that the move? Here's a little tease and then.

120 players for dance next season. That could be it. Man, let me tell you, the car 98 is back. I had, oh my God, dude. It was like. Could you imagine if Roger Clemens came back and was just throwing 101 heat down the fucking pipe? That was me with Call of Duty or in Rebirth Island with the Car 98.

It was incredible. I think we see Warzone. I think we see Call of Duty. Like you're just mentioning Tim. But I also think we get a little sort of snippet of more about. And then the Xbox showcases the one where like Blessie was mentioning, you get more of the deeper dive. I know we had a deep dive last year. Or when was it?

When was the avowed deep dive? That was the developer direct. That was the developer direct. Yeah, developer direct. I think we get another sort of proper deep dive to sort of hopefully quell any worries that people had with that first sort of showing. Are they a lot of worse? A fallout or an oblivion remaster. You know, you want to, I think Xbox is at the stage now where they really need a big

year here to showcase this. We say it every year, I know. But like, I would prefer to keep all my stuff there. maybe a title that could come everywhere, like a Marcus Phoenix collection, where maybe we say, hey, gears is being remastered with the big playlist,

just like Halo Master Chief Collection, and maybe it is one of those where it's a little bit easier to swallow, like, hey, it's everywhere, and we want everyone to celebrate gears, because maybe we'll have Gear 6 next week at only Xbox, you know, something like that. That could be neat.

Going to Nintendo. Do they show up at all? It's doubtful. I feel like Jeff, if Nintendo were there, he probably would have said it. Not being like, I hope someday that they show up. But also, that does read a little teasing. But not getting my hopes up, knowing that we actually have a Nintendo direct coming in June confirmed. So I don't think we see Nintendo.

Anyone disagree? I don't disagree. Let's move on to some third-party action, Sega. Woo! We got the bazillion games announced at the Game Awards. Crazy Taxi, Jet Set. You think maybe one of those is far enough along to get like an actual trailer for it? And is it crazy taxi?

I lose my fucking mind. I think if it is one, yeah, yeah, yeah. It'll be jet set. It feels like that's the furthest along. But I don't expect it. I don't expect any of those games to be shown. Okay. I would say metaphor, but metaphor is also done a lot of showing with Xbox.

So, yeah, that's a weird one. it's got to show up somewhere this week, I think. Has metaphor shown up before at a Keeley thing? I don't think so. No, but they've had the relationship with the other one. I played, no, not persona. I forget, I played one of those games over there. It's hoiovers.

Games over there. I mean, like, they did the persona announcement at a game orgs years ago, but I know that was more of an Nintendo thing, so that's a little bit weird. But yeah, kind of thinking about, like other games that this is kind of like the last big moment to you've got like Yakuza

I think Infinite Wells yeah wasn't that where like the main dude showed up naked? Yeah yeah that sounds right that sounds right okay God I'm excited

and then Sonic obviously the big Sega thing like a thousand percent we see generations I don't know what they show new but I feel like this is the type of thing where Keeley always has the whatever the Sonic game coming out that year there's a trailer like what was the last one

that Oh, Sonic superstars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, they showed that. So I think that that's a lock. And like, what, the year before that, Sonic Frontiers was like the main label thing on the show floor. Yeah.

And they put plants around it so we wouldn't see it. Because everybody was doing videos in front of it. Disaster. Capcom. We know we're getting Monster Under Wilds. Do we get a release date for it? No. No.

2025 too far out. Yeah, they've already said that. I think, you know, no. I think we see Oh Kunitsugami Path of Goddess Okay Oh yeah

Hell yeah We'll see it Hell yeah You nailed it You nailed it Okay I didn't know if I did You're practicing Well I mean I'm just assuming

I'm guessing I'm guessing I'm not Right around You said I feel confident A safe bet there Right Like again

No Capcom Showcase this year Yeah And I think that game I forget if that game Has a date Or it's slated But I imagine

That game is coming out This year Yeah Any cool tie-ins or DLC teases for Dragon's Dogma 2. I know we're pretty early in that, but like could we get some more love or excitement to remind

people of like, hey, great game came out earlier this year, like, don't forget about us at the end of the year or like, tell a friend. I think that's fascinating. Yeah, I don't, I actually don't even think we're too early for some sort of announcement for like, hey, this fall, you know, get this new

monster hunter suit in or Leon Kennedy sort of like tie in. Here's how Leon would look in medieval times. He's your pawn. What if he becomes Leon Kennedy's your pawn? I think that's a great call. They would want to regenerate hype

going into game award season. That's a good call. Yeah, some of the Capcom things, Pragmata, Resident Evil, and some Capcom fighting game-related announcement or something. I don't really expect much. I think the Path of Goddess

you probably nailed it there, bless. Capcom's showing. No, Resident and evils. I don't think so. Because, I mean, the way they've been talking about these these these the um co-veronica and resonable five and all in zero like that to me feels like a tweet announcement i don't i don't think that they're going to okay have it at the show and no new resident evil we're not ready for that yet either i i just don't think so i think if it showed up

it would have been at the state of play yeah like these these things always show up in a state of play moving on to canami will middle gear solid three delta be there and will it get a date say no and no. I'm going to say yes and it's going to be a window and it's 25. 2025. Why do you say no, Greg? I think it's not ready. I think that.

Yeah, that's my thought. I know you guys are like hope at one point, holding out for this year. Yeah, I definitely was. Fantasy critic. You got it. I feel like, politically,

do you think Keely would not show this? Oh, yeah, I can see that. Has it not shown up at a Keely thing? I don't know. The only two, the announcement trailer and then this first engine look. The announcement trailer was at a PlayStation event. This was at an Xbox event.

Yeah, actually I take it back. I could see Keely not showing it out of respect for the guy. Damn, that's a friend right there. That's a friend right there. But I like, oh, man, I ain't doing that to you. Like, that's good for him. He also roasted Konami at his show in like 2015. Yeah.

Damn. And Konami's also like, you'll fuck you too. Sure. It's worth pointing out, of course, like Hadeo Kijima welcomed you all to the spare bed him, but Konami, if you're watching, I will gladly exclusively reveal anything you want. Yeah, exactly. Anything.

Me and Greg's an indie publisher. We'll do it. Metal your solid, mega collection, whatever the hell it's called. Volume 2 with Peace Walker, Ring and Ding, Ding, Ding, Canami. Let's go. I'm still convinced it doesn't exist. The day that Volume 2 gets announced, I will do something. I don't know what.

What should I do, Mike? What food do you not like? Oh, I don't know. I don't really like sour cream that much All right you eat a tub of sour cream A tub no A lot of all that You're one of these short ones

You're like sour cream? Not too much You know what I mean Have you tried putting on like nachos Like loaded nachos? Yeah Do you take it out of your super burritos? I don't yeah

I normally don't get it I'm not gonna not eat the burrito Yeah you know I don't mean But like yeah Um Will we get any other Konami stuff Probably not New Casavania

I wish Yeah I don't think so You ever think about how crazy it is that there's so many white edible things, but they all taste differently? You got sour cream, you got yogurt, you got whipped cream, you got cum, all taste different. Coconut all differently. Wait. Marstamil fluff, different. We should, that should be KFA.

You said marshmallow fluff after KFCF. That should be KF. You all eat the white stuff. What's this white stuff? Square Enix. Will we get any final fantasy? Nick, if you can hear me, I got an idea for you. Can I mean on the episode.

Will we get any final fantasy related announcements? Andy, you're talking about Fallen Fantasy 16 PC. That would be awesome as hell. I mean, it's overdue. That's the thing. It's like they talked about it. And last they talked about it, it was in reference to trying to get the release around the release of the DLC. Both DLC are now out.

And it's still not out. Did they do anything for seven remake on PC? Yes. Or was it just a, hey, here's a blog post. Game Awards. I'm pretty sure. That was when we went to Epic. Oh, okay, gotcha.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Well, I guess, you know, if there were any sort of deals like that, I think, you know, Epic would want to sort of showcase that. Yeah, I doubt that it will be with Epic this time. But I think, I think that this is not a lock, but I think that it's likely that we see this this week at Keelishel. Unlock it. Just unlock the power of it. Let my PC fly. And then everyone's always talking about the Fall Fantasy Nine remit.

make from the Nvidia leak. I don't think this is the place. But having said that, Square doesn't have a showcase this year. What was the other Dragon Quest thing? That was like teased. The HD2D thing that was originally announced as Dragon Quest

3 being remade, but now people, because of wording are like, wait, are they actually doing one, two, and three? There is somebody that's way smarter than me. I forgot who it was. It's pretty much a lot for the Nintendo Direct. that makes sense.

So I don't think we see that here. Will we see any kingdom heart stuff? They already said no. I don't think that he's lying, Mike. I'm sorry. You're right. You and Greg brought up the bait and switch and that would get him into this cycle all the time.

I mean, would it be awesome? Epic, yes. It would be all that and above. Like, it would just be special. But yeah, if he says it's not there, you probably should believe it's not going to be there. And we also have D23. I looked into it.

It is happening this year in August. So if we get Kingdom Hearts, I think it'll be there. E.A. Dragon Age. Dreadwolf. Andy, what happens? We get the full reveal. We get gameplay. We get a date. We get it all here. A date? Yeah. Is it this year? No. Okay. No date then. You don't think it's this year? We're at 2025. Word in the streets is it's this year, if I remember correctly.

Am I correct about that? I'm going to say no. I'm going to say a day. like the I want to say the Jeff Grubb streets but I don't want to give him that heat if I'm wrong about it but uh I think we get it all here oh I mean I got a report here from Yahoo that says according to a new report Dragon Age dreadwolf publisher electronic arts is pretty confident about a 2024 release date for the game pretty confident but again that's Yahoo yeah Jeff Grub has said oh but this is I see PlayStation lifestyle.net Yahoo have a relationship here so it's PlayStation lifestyle was really the

like you open it up and says PlayStation lifestyle great you you seem to have some reaction to this I think I think I'm just so

gun shy ever about saying they'll put a date and stuff I feel like dates are often few and far between especially in our hectic world

of things getting delayed and so I think that you'll see it for sure I like the idea of a deep dive for sure because I'd be worried about just getting a trailer

for it but I don't think you get a date for it but if it is 2024 then the time is running out You should probably put a date on it. Do you think it's 2024? I don't know.

This isn't when I follow closely enough. You know what I mean? I feel like it's another game that I've heard about for fucking ever. So I'd like them to shit or get off the pot on it. I will say, I don't think it,

when we do see it, it won't be a deep dive. I don't think it'll be a, in the world of Valescia, which is definitely not the world of Dragon Age. It's been a while since I've played Dragon Age. It's definitely not going to be a, you take on the character of blah,

I think it's just going to be a lot of gameplay snippets with kind of, kind of narration over it you know I would never do that to your mother and it turns it to another lady she's like you you stab me in the back

one last time and it's just all Do you want to fuck? Yeah it's one of those yeah yeah yeah why there are a lot of white things to eat like that's one of the things that gets said as well I've never noticed I'm hoping for VO for you know

some DLC any other EA skate I mean yeah we talked about us already right you hope for skate I hope for football I don't think we see either of those. I think football, you might have a shot

because they're trying to make a bigger deal about it coming back after a decade. You might get a trailer, like 60 second trailer to remind you that this is cool

if you care about it. If anything. In the sponsored segment then. Yeah, that I can see as a commercial. 100%. And then we bring back the kind of funny

football league and we make Nick Scarpino the star quarterback of the Kansas Jayhawks. No, and he goes to that to me. And he's the star quarterback against Greg's Mizoo.

What are you all? Tigers. I don't even know of that time. I don't know. I see a cat as it could be a jaguar, you know. Oh, no, that's actually a good idea, actually. I like that. Can I be the quarterback of the fighting alina?

Of course. Colorado Buffalo's Mike. This sounds like we're going to have some fun. NCAA football would be awesome. Skate would be sick. Skate is another one where it's like, I don't think skate's ready. Again, skate they talk. They do the developer direct stuff and diary stuff all the time.

Skate has been at play days, if I remember correctly, every single year. But like out of the parking lot, hey, come grab a drink with us and like, you know, got t-shirts, which is awesome. But this thing they're doing with, the website. Website does make me think they're doing something official.

But even then, I feel it's going to be like a funny little teaser thing at the end, 2025. That's the best you could get. If they don't bring back Coach Frank,

I'm going to be so uptight. Come on. Every time Ben's out there with his little scooter and he makes the skate noise, I'm like, I can't fuck away. Yeah.

Can't wait to ignore my son and play this fictional video. Moving on to Ubisoft. Do we see any Assassin's Creed? Do we see Starz's Alvast? Do we see a new Ubisoft being announced?

What's the history with this? Do they usually do a tease? I think they did. Yeah, right. Prince of Persia? Well, that's the thing, too. With Prince of Persia, they actually, yeah, they announced it at Keeley's event and then showed

it at Ubisoft. So, like, that's something that we would all be like, they're not going to do that, whatever, but they did. So I could see it all, but I also feel like they've got enough momentum right now with Assassin's Creed just to wait until Monday. Do your own thing. Be done with it. Assassin's Creed and Star Wars, I mean, they're both huge.

Like, it does not get bigger, but I feel like if it doesn't get bigger, show it off, right? Star Wars I could see showing it off, right? I can see showing a cinematic and then more gameplay. I mean, I think Forward is going to have deep dives to both those things. You want to spend a lot of time on both of them. And so if you have like a smaller shorter asset to show, I think you would

yeah, give it to Keeley to do. I'm going to say this. I think that New Sassas Creed might be the one. Might be the one. I'm right there with you. It might be the one. I drafted in a fancy. He's played five hours. I'm done.

This office. Boring. Okay. I'm actually super stuff. I'm stoked for it. I'm genuinely looking forward to it. Mainly because I just really fuck with that setting. The Rise of the Rone.

I wouldn't be surprised if we, even if we see both at Keyle's event, something small, but I, or even if it's just referenced. Maybe there's a pass over. Well, I don't think you put any sort of bit of outlaws

in that Keely hype trailer if it's not going to be there in some capacity. Like, it's a good point, too. He put great point. Yeah. And it's so mainstream recognizable, right? Star Wars game and Jeff Keely's thing

will draw in anybody. that's a big deal. I think in the same way earlier I was talking about like shoving Concord in people's faces. I think UbiSoft, I forget who I was talking to you. I think it was Tim, might have been Greg. I was talking to somebody about like, I feel like the Dominoes are falling this year for Ubisoft, or at least they have them lined up to fall. And I think between shadows and Star Wars outlaws, you want to shove those people's faces as

much as possible, right? Like you want those people's faces as much as possible, right? Yeah, yeah. There's the dominole's emoet. I was waiting for it. Yeah, you want, like, I think between now and the fall, like it is on, like, you shove those games and people's faces as much as much as you can. Darkness.

fills the screen. Yeah. The green lights fill up. Yeah. Boom, we get excited. See you on Ubisoft forward. And everybody goes crazy.

And then at the UBesaw forward, they announced that he's in another person. Ex-to-fire. Yep. There you go. I can see it's getting like a Rayman. No, no, there's no way. Yeah?

Because Rayman is the team. That did Prince of Prussia. Because I'm thinking of like a smaller U.B thing that we don't like the way that we got Rogue Prince of nowhere. Like, what's a smaller Ubi thing that could, like, be revealed at summer game fest? And then, you know, you go into... How are we doing it? I just realized we're going to get Prince of Persia, the Lost Crown, DLC's stuff at UBSF forward.

Oh, yeah. That's awesome. Very cool. Moving on, remedy. Alan Wake, D.L.C. Done. Yeah, another... Titter.

Twitter tease that has happened, right, where they went and did the whole thing. You'll get excited. I can't wait to see what that's all done. Do you think it's a shadow drop, Greg, as many people have said? or I've guessed I would say many people have shared it

I'm gonna say no I think Alan Wake two did so well that you'd want to give people time to get excited for that I think you could be a next week drop

you know what I mean but give a little bit of time for people to be like oh that's fucking red yeah that's interesting because DLC I feel like it might be

a smart call to actually do the like available now you know what I mean because it's not like that is like the best marketing moment for the call to action

to like do the thing. Do you think, and I know I'm giving our jobs too much credit, but do you think it works against them since Alan Wake 2 was a critical darling but all the critics are going to be at SGF covering a million things,

yada, you release that, that's great, it's out into the wild, but when do we get, when do we as our side of the industry get to play that and actually have a thought about it?

Yeah, but I feel like with DLC, that's not necessarily, like what, critics have in the past done. You know what I mean? I feel like it is, that is more the people that have already showed up for the game. They're there. They're already sold. You know what I mean?

This is a conversational game out in Wake 2 of like, what did you see? What did you take away from it? What about this reference? And what about that? Yeah. I would not do that if, but they're not asking me for my opinion. Or are you? But we asked Sam. People out there for their opinions and y'all super chatted in. Opponents Prime says, my predictions. First look at Hayeslite's next game.

Sounds like we're not going to get that. Obviously on what people are saying here. Judas dated. sounds like it's not going to happen because it sounds very far out last look at Eldon Ring DLC yeah wouldn't be surprised

hello games next game hmm is that called everywhere light no fire light no fire everywhere that's close I mean same idea everywhere everywhere was one of those games

was that the from the makers of Grand Theft Auto yes yeah I think that is what that is I'm stoked about light no fire especially with Sean Blankin on his last name. Murray. Sean Murray kind of, you know, with the little eyeball emojis or whatever it was he posted.

Yeah, I definitely think we get some sort of... I love that he's like, this is going to be the most ambitious game ever. I've learned nothing. Quick question. Whatever happened with that PubG 2 or whatever? Remember when we saw that PubG and then it was like, this is the sequel or then when went quiet, did that turn into the crafting game? That was the...

Colista Protocol? Calista Protocol. Whatever happened with, we saw something in the PubG universe. I think it was that. And it was just like gone, you know? Did it turn in, chat,

help me out in the comments. I mean, Colistar Protocol was in the PubG universe. Yeah. But then they dialed that back. They gave us that PubG, this is in the world of PubG trailer

and it just went nowhere. Where did it go? And then do we get a weird celeb cameo? Maybe Danny DeVito. Do we get the celeb cameos at summer game games? No, it's usually Game Wars,

right? Because it's in La La La Land. I mean, if there's a Borderlands trailer, you can somehow get one of those celebrities. Oh, you get Kevin Hart to come out? Get the hell out of here, man. That'd be awesome. He won't come out. Let's get some stupid canned video.

I'll get Keanu Reeves from Sonic. Or Jack Black. That's sick. Jack Black's a clap trap in that. I could see him being a realistic yet. I think we do see a celebrity on stage. I just don't know who. And I don't think it'll be Danny DeVita.

I don't think about it. It'd be sick. I don't think this would happen. Melissa McCarthy. But if you could get somehow the Sonic thing to happen at Xbox to showcase and they do just the repeat of the Keanu Reeves walking out in the exact same way, but it's for Shadow. Yeah. I mean, bless, how

crazy is it that we're probably going to hear Keanu Reeves voicing Shadow the headchog in the next couple days? I'm like, I cannot wait. Oh, man. I need a gun. Damn. We got The fucking Chaos Emeralds. War Table saying,

Dragon Age dreadwolf supposed to come out this year. They said it'll be summer for more info. Yeah. I feel like we'll see Dreadwolf. Yeah. I don't know. E. E.N says, Bloodborne, question mark? No. Not the time. No.

No. Can we get a hunter in Astrobot? Do they show more Astrobot? I don't think they do. I feel like you don't see any bloodborn references in Astrobot. I think that would stir the pot for the Astrobat. He was in the Playroom, though. Yeah, he was in a playroom.

No, I know, but like that was in a different time. We were in a different era. I feel like we do for sure. Why wouldn't they? Because I think we would see people storming the Capitol. Yeah. I don't think they're actively avoiding blood boys. stuff, you know what I mean? I think they might be.

I mean, like, they deleted that one, Sony deleted that one tweet several months ago when they were just like Sony was posting, the Sony Twitter account, not the PlayStation account, was posting some random shit. And I did a bloodbored thing and I think like it had so much hate that they deleted it. Like, I, I

don't know. That's different than like putting a reference in a video game though, you know? But it is like the, um, putting Sam Fisher and like GoaltreeCon break point where like, I feel like bloodborne fans are only getting more and more riled up. They're only getting more bad. I don't think it's that different

from where Bloodbourne fans were four years ago. I'm gonna be honest. I disagree. They're multiplying by the year. We got Wildlands, not breakpoint. Thanks, Shed. That's it.

That's it for those. We got a couple more from a tweet that I put out that I want to talk about. Nostia Rojas saying, do we get a release date for Dragon Ball sparking zero? I was literally about to say that. Yes, we do.

I think one thousand percent. I mean, this fall. Yeah, I don't know when. This fall, September, I guess, is what I would say. And I'm excited for it. I'm going to be such a sicko. Goss Williams says, we need some info on that Transformers game from last year. That is interesting.

That was the trailer that they showed that, like, definitively did not look like a Transformer. Like, I am one of the biggest Transformers fans, if not the biggest Transformers fan, I know. And I watch that trailer. It was like, what is this? You know what I mean? I don't know.

That's one of those games that I wouldn't be surprised of any outcome. It never comes out. It fucking comes out tomorrow or anything. Like, I just don't know what it is. Do you have any insight on that, Greg? No. Yeah. Yeah, I feel the same way, right?

Do we see Arc Raiders? You guys remember Arc Raiders? The game from the finals people. That was revealed before the finals. No. No, but it was like game awards, like two game awards ago. You bringing up the finals makes me think of the wolves. Yep, get the fuck out.

Yeah, then the Wals. Gtifo. Yeah, yeah, right. Their thing will be there for sure. Yeah. The people that made the GTFO. Q the exact same thing in my head. I'm like, wait a second.

No, but. Is this Arc Raiders? No, this is Transformer. I was like, I was like, because now I'm like, not like, did I make that game up? No, I'm looking at it right now. Man, I'm looking at Arcares.

Like, I don't remember seeing this at all. I remember being in the audience, at Game Awards being like, wow, this looks like everybody's going to be talking about this. And then nobody talked about it. And the last one we got here is from Brian Cosmala. Brian. Vampire Survivors, PlayStation release date, available now with some PlayStation IP crossover.

My guess, God of War. They have among us in the game. God of War would be perfect. I was fucking love that. I mean, would anything be more perfect than Bloodborn? No. Vampire Survivors. Yeah. Oh, nice.

Damn it. But here's my question about that. And of course, we are presented by Ponco developers of vampire survivors. For all their other DLCs, they haven't done, like, platform exclusive stuff, right? where it's like Xbox doesn't have Matt. I mean, I know they did the, they've done the contra stuff for everybody, though. That's, I would say no to this because they are such a small team. Well, the release date, I hope so.

Available now? Fuck yeah. Cross over with PlayStation stuff? I don't think so. Because from everything I've heard about them and talking to them, they're such a small team. Like, when they were on the buildup to eventually announcing the PlayStation version, they were very open in their dev blogs. Like, we're working on it for the most obvious platform we're not on, but we're very,

I don't think you would then throw around and be like, hey, we're going to talk about like, we're also giving him platform specifics. No. Red Misfit says, can Greg stop being idiot? No, I've been trying. 17 years on camera. This is as good as a guy. Everybody. It's a long time.

All right, so this has been our predictions. Anything else that we want to get off our chest? I don't know why I said it that way. Did you do it? Super chest? Each of the end. Yeah. Okay. I got nothing.

Sorry, they moved in with the Ignacio Rojas' tweet comments. I just wasn't close enough. I just want to be sure. Yeah, we got it. I can't wait. I love hanging out with you guys. I love doing this. It's always exciting. See what the new stuff is. Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun. Remember everybody, the boys about to go play some Eldon Ring.

It's going to be a blast. If you're watching on Twitch, just stay where you are. You're going to be fine. If you're on YouTube, you've got to make the jump. But if you're a kind of funny member and you want to watch me and Greg live react to the Venom trailer, you got to go over to the Patreon. It will be live over there. YouTube, too, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Anywhere your membership is. Oh, yeah, you're right, right, yeah. Anyways, I love you all. This has been a blast. Keep hanging out with us all week as we do way more of these prediction episodes. Until next time, love you all. Goodbye.
