Starting point is 00:00:07 What's up and welcome back to the Kind of Funny Games cast for Monday, June 2nd, 2025. Of course, I am your host, Tim Geddes. I'm joined today by Greg Miller. Everybody, mark your calendars. It's only 28 days to Tim's birthday. Blessing Eddie O.A Jr. Good day, Tim. And Andy Cortez.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Good day, Tim. Good day to you all as well. Good week to you all. We are kicking off. Are we sitting in the wrong spot? We are. We are. We are.
Starting point is 00:00:30 We can see if you figure it out. I sat down. That's so funny. I was like, that's weird. I'm over here. And then Andy sat down as Greg's usually next to me. And then I was like, well, it's Barrett's fault. And then Barrett tried to pass the buck to me.
Starting point is 00:00:41 No, I did. What? You are in charge. It's your laptop. You know, you're the director. If you're not directing people, what are you doing in there? You want me to move your laptop? I mean, if you want me to go out, it's whatever.
Starting point is 00:00:52 I don't know. You throw a bless off his game looking at him. The thing that tip me off is the fact that I said good day to him as like the second thing. And I was like, that's not right. That's not how this goes. There's not flow to all of this. Here comes the director to do his job. I think people might be switching seats.
Starting point is 00:01:05 We'll see anything could happen here kind of funny. It's a wild movie. It's how the magic happens, Andy. Oh my God. The emails have been hijacked. Are we switching or not? Barrett booked it. I liked that.
Starting point is 00:01:18 No, no switch. No switch. Everyone remains. We're turning over a new leaf. Remain calm. Andy, we're going to need you to redo the intro. Ah, dang. This is a big week.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Summer Game Fest is upon us, as is the Nintendo Switch to launch. Of course, you're going on to stay tuned to Twitch and YouTube all week here at kind of funny. Today we're kicking off with our predictions to summer game fest. Tomorrow's games cast will be our Xbox predictions. Wednesday night we're kicking off our 24 hour long switch two launch party. We're all night long Mike and Roger are going to be playing some of that Switch to and going straight into Thursday starting games daily at 10. So ideally we're live from Wednesday night all the way through Thursday's content,
Starting point is 00:01:59 which is pretty wild. Hell yeah. It's exciting times for everybody. Then of course Friday, live reacting to Summer Game Fest, Saturday taking a little break. Sunday we'll be back reacting to the Xbox showcase. But we're not talking about Xbox today. Hell no. We're talking about Jeff Keely's show.
Starting point is 00:02:13 We're talking about what he has up his sleeves. And before we even went live, I was questioning what if he comes out on stage without sleeves? And Bless didn't like it. But Bless? No, I liked it. I liked it too much. He did like it. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:02:24 You were saying he couldn't say what he was thinking because it was. He's not bothered. I got it. But just can you imagine if Jeff came out without sleeves? I love it. It would just be such a, such a shock. You know what I mean? It's summer.
Starting point is 00:02:35 It's relaxing. Yeah, Game Fest look. Sunglasses, just a Hawaiian shirt, no shirt on underneath it. See, my reaction turns into, should we find him help? Like, is there something wrong with Jeff? Like, is this a midlife crisis sort of thing?
Starting point is 00:02:48 If he didn't have sleeves? Yeah. On the Summer Game Fest stage? Yeah. I even Bear degrees with me. I mean, it's been real hot recently. What if it is he's wearing, like, a suit, but the sleeves are just cut off?
Starting point is 00:02:58 Like, it's not like he's wearing... That would be amazing. It's not like he's wearing a tank top. He just cut the sleeves on it. I don't know. Well, I'm not predicting that. But, Maybe somebody else will because this is our predictions episode of The Kind of Funny Gamescast.

Shout out to Roger who, like, probably watch a tutorial to get this look and like put it on every one of the aspects of the graphic. He was a little different. Let's just get out there.

Starting point is 00:04:42 Looking at him right now. Oh, me? Come on, man. I gotta go to court. I got things to do. If you were kind of funny members, Snowmike Mike goes big with this month's Patreon exclusive poster made by the incredible panda musk, of course. It is a new month, which means it is a new exclusive panda musk poster. This is awesome.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Posting this question to Tim and Andy, do you know what this like art style and vibe is pulling from, do we know? No, but I like it. It's very different. I love it. I love this art style from Panama Musk. Truly a chameleon. Yeah. You know, the, the, the, the, the NITRA rifle poster was all Cowboys Bebop, 90s anime-looking vibes. This is, I, I don't know what it reminds me of, but it does, it reminds me of maybe, um, the cartoon network show, the little kid, he's got a little pointy hat. Adventure time? Wizards away, no. Wizards are a way, no. Wizards are a way, place. No, no, no, no, no. It's a, it's a recent show that everybody loves. It's like one of those. Over the garden wall. Yeah. That's the one. It kind of just, he looks like a, I don't know. Maybe I don't know the art style from that show.
Starting point is 00:05:50 As much as I thought I didn't. I said, thank goodness you're here, the video game. Ah, okay. People were saying rocket power. Yeah, I could see rocket power. I don't know if I see rocket power. It's extreme. Exports, baby. I guess, yeah, with the snow. Maybe rocket power, possibly. God. Rocket power reboot. I want to see what Auto's up. as an old man. How is these doing? No good. Yeah. He's in jail. How many drugs is Twister done? Someone in chat asked, no mic on the stream, no shocker, he went to Florida and got sick.
Starting point is 00:06:18 I was going to ask, but like the fact that nobody brought up his name in the last like 30 minutes of me being here, I thought something went wrong. I was like, you got I assume the worst. Homie, you got to, you got a mask up on a five and a half hour flight to Florida. Like that's a bad recipe for a lot of. It really is.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Especially when you go to Disney World, five days ago. I'm shocked he got sick. Today's Greg way is Greg's 20-minute review so far of Fantasy Life I, the girl who steals time. You're what's so funny about it? I have laughing.
Starting point is 00:06:49 800,000 copies sold, dominating the switch chart right now. Is this the one with a $2.50 upgrade? Yeah, it is. It is the one for Switch to. Hell yeah, it is. I just freaking love you sometimes, Greg. Thank you to our bidschart
Starting point is 00:07:03 producers. Carl Jake. Is that really love? of everyone. Carl Jacobs, a megabuster and Delaney Twining. Thank you so very, very much.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Today we're brought to you by Xreal. We'll tell you about that later. Let's start with the topic of the show. Summer Game Fest predictions.
Starting point is 00:07:20 We will be going around this table you are watching right now, one by one each predicting one of five predictions that we are bringing to discuss today to see who
Starting point is 00:07:31 is the most accurate, who is the most brazen, who wants to have some fun and who's just here to try to fucking get some fucking wins. They love winning. I'm looking at you. Bless. That's me. I don't know the last time I won if I'm being real.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Yeah, let me know. Before we get into our predictions, how are we even feeling about this? How are we feeling about summer game fest and predictions? There's too many things happening right now for me to really feel anything. Yeah. Like. Too much chocolate. I, you know, all I can think about right now is Elder Ring Knight
Starting point is 00:08:05 grain. And it doesn't even feel like it's happening at the end of this week with it doesn't feel like summer game business is like that close in addition to the switch to launch. There's just like I think, you know what? You know what it is? I bet you I'd feel that way if we were all going to SGF where I'd be like, oh, I have a flight in the future. Yeah. And like that's always, that's always the forefront of my mind. But I don't know. It just doesn't even feel like it's happening this week. And maybe that's like a little bit less hype on the showcase. You think it's the fact that. You think it's the fact that. we haven't heard anything about a PlayStation thing happening. Possibly.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Usually we would have had a PlayStation state of play by now. Yeah. Yeah. Or at least no one's happening. Like that's the thing is this year, it's like by this point, literally the first week of June, we would know when Nintendo is doing its thing, when PlayStation's doing its thing, when Ubisoft is doing its thing.
Starting point is 00:08:53 And now we know Ubisoft's not. Yeah. Nintendo probably is not. They don't really need to even because they just had the April event. And still rumors of a PlayStation thing. I believe that's going to happen. But like that would have happened last week in any other year. So I think it's kind of weird
Starting point is 00:09:07 there. It pushed it seemingly. Embarrassing for you guys to overlook the breaking news from 20 minutes ago that IEO Interactive to host I.O.I. showcase featuring Hitman, 007 First Light and Mind's Eye on June 6th. That's the night that it's going to be
Starting point is 00:09:23 after Jeff Steele. Friday, June 6 at 6 p.m. They're getting their own their own little showcase in I.O.I. They're publishing Mind's eye, aren't they? Apparently. What's up with that game? What's going on there? What the fuck's going on with that game? Is that game? Somebody figure it out.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Is it still part of everywhere, which is like... But now it's sound... And everywhere just being like... Kind of grown-up Roblox in terms of what it's being pitched as, essentially. But now... You make your own level. The broadcast will feature trailers, announcements, gameplay demos, and a live Q&A with figures from I.O.I. Interactive. Build a Rocket Boy who makes mine's eye and more alongside announcements pertaining to
Starting point is 00:09:58 I.O. Interactive's game lineup. The studio also share a look at its proprietary game engine Glacier. This event celebrates our 25-year history with the Hitman franchise and shares an in-depth look at the diverse future of our studio. Commented the CEO, we've prepared some truly exciting surprises. The I.O.I showcase presentation will include new details for the following titles, Hitman World of Assassination. With the Hitman franchise set to celebrate its 25th anniversary this year, announcement regarding upcoming content for Hitman World of Assassination and collaborations around the Hitman franchise will be shared. Mind's Eye, developed by Build a Rocket Boy and published by I. I-O-I partners.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Mine's Eye is a narrative-driven action-adventure thriller and will be an ever-expanding player experience. Doesn't that come out this week? Let me get there. With new studio-created premium content delivered monthly, Minds Eye will launch on June 10th, 2025. Oh. And then-JuK's birthday.
Starting point is 00:10:52 00-7 First Light, developed by IEO Interactive, 00-7 First Light. It isn't 007 like in his handles in one of them, James Burke? His email or something? Oh, yeah. Is the title of it's highly into. James Burke centric week. I watch all to know that for the longest time
Starting point is 00:11:10 until we bullied him into getting an adult email, James Burke's professional email was straight kill a dude, 007. That's so good. Oh, man, he's a champion coach. Champion baseball coach. That's it.
Starting point is 00:11:27 That's it. Sorry, it does say that changes a lot of interest. First light set to be revealed this week. It ends at the end of its thing. Which I think is interesting because that, to me, sounds like they're going to still do something before. At Summer Game Fest, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:11:40 We got a trailer. We're going to fucking predicting their announcement. Spoilers. That's fucking baby stuff. That's baby stuff. But I will say it's hard to predict this year because there is so much going on that I feel like we have a lot of answers. I think because of Grand Theft Auto's delay a lot of other people already kind of like
Starting point is 00:12:01 threw things out there and now shifting around. I feel like we have the year. fairly kind of set. Like we always go into this like, what are the questions? What games need release dates? And there are a handful. But then there's like,
Starting point is 00:12:11 cool, what teams could possibly announce something. I don't think there's that many options for a Jeff level event, a summer game fest level event. We've seen him level up in the past. And last year, I'd say that his game awards
Starting point is 00:12:24 was the best showcase he's ever had in terms of announcements. But like with where right now, it's like I'm looking at my ideas for predictions here. And I'm not feeling like this is going to be the biggest. craziest one. But I'm hoping y'all proved me wrong.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Well, that's why we need everybody to click like on the video right now because this video will likely be a disappointment for everybody. Just click like to help us out is what I'm saying. Oh, throw us a bone. Yeah, throws a little bone. I've heard rumblings. Oh, shit. Through the grapevine about how it doesn't feel like there's a lot of people
Starting point is 00:12:55 showing up at Summer Game Fest, like the event. Which one? The play days or the... Like play days type of thing, right? Like I've had friends that are like... you know, looking around that are in the industry that are like, yeah, it seems like a lot people are just doing their own thing. Like I've talked about going to LA every week in the month of May and that feels like a result of people being like, oh, let's do our own thing in May
Starting point is 00:13:16 as opposed to going in like... We don't want to pay Jeff to be part of his show. Yeah. Summer Playdays. So yeah, we'll do this. Like one of my friends called it Maydays for what people are doing this month. Yeah, when we were talking about this earlier last week, I think when you mentioned this and were telling me just over the computers. I was like, oh yeah, it's funny. I'd ever thought about the fact that everything we're sending bless every week to go see in LA is basically what Judges Week used to be which is what Jeff used to run before
Starting point is 00:13:40 we'd all go to E3. So it's interesting that no one stepped up to do a judge's week before SGF. Yeah. Maybe we could do it, so we could be us. We have a lot of free time so we can totally tackle that. Yep, yep. Get everybody together to see these double A games. So I want to... Now here's where I want to start because you were... I said before you asked me a great question.
Starting point is 00:13:56 You asked me a great question. It was a good question. God, you got a good neck. You know what I mean? Do you grab me a neck like this? I'm at a tiny little hands I'm at a disadvantage before we even start okay
Starting point is 00:14:12 a disadvantage for these predictions you know what same here I know where you're going I'm with you though I was gonna say because I'm going I'm going to SGF play days for kind of funny while you all stay back to play switch and get ready for that
Starting point is 00:14:25 and then react to Xbox and do all the amazing stuff we're doing it sounded like you were framing that as while you all get to sit back and have fun I gotta go do the work It's just the fact that I've been booking the appointments and taking the calls, so I know so much I feel about SGF already, where it's like this I-O thing I just read,
Starting point is 00:14:40 like, I've known about that for weeks. So when we were doing it on the show and you were like, I wonder where they're going to reveal it. What time I email? And I was like, oh, this is in fact embargoed shit. I can't say anything about this. So it's like a weird one of what's out there and what isn't. So I feel like my, I feel like more than ever my predictions are going to be like,
Starting point is 00:14:54 or totally fucking weird out over the moon shitty. For me, it's a similar thing. Not the same thing because I've not been booking events, but like for a weird reason, this is the summer, this is like the summer season that I, people have told me the most announced before. The streets been talking, man. The streets their mouths been wide open. Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:09 They've been telling me everything. I don't know the damn thing. How do you feel? Do you know a lot about it? I mean, I've heard a lot of things, but not necessarily that are going to be part of Jeff's show. So, or even things that aren't going to be part of Jeff's show, which I think is always more interesting. It's like what's not there, you know. But yeah, overall, it's kind of just like,
Starting point is 00:15:30 like I was saying, I feel this is just a kind of whatever year because there's so many more exciting things going on for me personally where it's like all right cool yeah summer game business is happening the fucking Mario card's coming out
Starting point is 00:15:41 you know I can't imagine being Andy and also have an Eldon ring like that I wouldn't be able to handle that that's just too much stuff it's amazing it's a good time yeah yeah like I swear you
Starting point is 00:15:50 you blink and suddenly it's 152 no damn 152 am already dude that's crazy when we were playing it on Friday and I looked at the time and I saw that we played for four and a half hours I was like, where did that fucking go?
Starting point is 00:16:02 Well, it's because every damn run is 49 minutes. Yeah, and we lost like three runs in a row. Oh, so tough. It's so tough. Maybe you should tell us some of those reviewers who are fucking sandbagging this thing. In 80 right now, I don't know. You're a specific because you only have 10 points. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:16:18 The fact that you dragged you. You all did. You all did. I know. It was a choice first round pick. Eldon Ring. It's got the name. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:26 It's got the juice. I want to get into our predictions. And I want to start with. Sandy Cortes. Oh, shit. Well, let me get to the, let me get to the prediction that I feel like all of us
Starting point is 00:16:37 are going to have a variation of. Okay. Because it was already talked about on Games Daily today. I.O. Interactive. James Bond. Jimmy Bond. He's a child now.
Starting point is 00:16:49 It's a prequel. It's a cheesy platformer. Obviously, they're going to show off the gameplay, blah, blah, blah. But actor walks out on stage. And the variation, I'm hoping everybody has like, let's all have an actor of who it's going to be. I think it's going to be Nicholas Holt.
Starting point is 00:17:07 No way. Lex Luthorne. Yeah. I think Nicholas Holt is going to be the... You don't cover up the face unless it's like a name of some... Or Robert Panson. But the head shape didn't look like... You got to pick one.
Starting point is 00:17:21 The head shape didn't look like Robert Patson. So I'm going to go with Nicholas Holt. I've looked at Robert Pansonsons is ahead a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Expedition 33? Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Yeah. So he walks out there. Obviously, they showed off, and it's a big deal. And then everybody celebrates me for getting it right. Nicholas Holt. Yeah. I don't see it. I like where your heads happen. He's just been so in the running.
Starting point is 00:17:46 It's like if there's another actor that has been talked about close to Idris Elba for who should be James Bond, it is always Nicholas Holt. No, but Aaron Taylor, James is. He was one of those talks about it. I'm not saying it's him. He was Craven, you know? He already got his wrong. Click Silver and kick ass. That's my prediction.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Okay. Are we just gonna go down? I think we should all just go down who the actor is gonna be. Everybody has an actor. Here's the thing. Barrett, can you bring up the picture of James Bond himself?
Starting point is 00:18:19 Berrett's convinced it's Joshua Peck. Which I love, but I don't think. I'm not serious about that. I have a very unserious answer, but I think it still might be my answer. It doesn't make sense. but I'm going to say Tom Holland. Why doesn't that make sense?
Starting point is 00:18:33 He's just too famous. He's too expensive. He's too expensive. You know what I mean? But like, it's the beginning though. It's all, it's a Christopher Nolan movie
Starting point is 00:18:41 and 10,000 Avengers movies in the next two years. But here's my thing, right? I say Tom Holland because my brain, I'm thinking of a Tom Holland like actor. I need somebody who's young, somebody who's in their 20s, somebody who's popping.
Starting point is 00:18:53 You know what I mean? Like somebody who's British. Timothy Shalemi and Timothy Jalemi was the other option. I was like, it's not Timothy Salomey. This man's head is too long, vertically. Yeah, but I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:01 You can still voice act, but... We got lots of good theories about that. Charlie Cox voices Robert Pattinson in Expedition 33. It doesn't mean that they, it's like exactly their scan or whatever, right? But they're hiding the face. Yeah, you're hiding the face.
Starting point is 00:19:13 I'm thinking of us... It can be anybody. And that's my thing, too, is because we can hear an image. Anybody can realize that. That's my other thing, too, is like, I think it was Tom Holland, I don't think necessarily that he's the voice actor.
Starting point is 00:19:22 I think he's just the face. Oh, my God. That sucks. I don't know. But, like, I don't know. So, so. here's the thing, right? Because there's somebody in chat that was like he's too young.
Starting point is 00:19:32 And that is the point of this James Bond. This is a younger James Bond. This is sort of a James Bond origin story. So I'm like trying to lean younger for who the actor could be. Tom Holland is the first person that comes to mind. I'm sure it is, bless. It always is. I made my prediction on Games Daily and I'm sticking with it,
Starting point is 00:19:47 Rahul Coley. That's who this James Bond is. I like the argument we had out there, of course, looking at this, many of me go, come on now, the silhouette. And I was like, well, it's golden lights. And maybe the person isn't a Caucasian. And then also there was this conversation that Barrett brought up that I thought was brilliant of maybe that's the bad guy. Maybe they're really turning it on its head and giving you something.
Starting point is 00:20:04 You know, this is all they're doing is giving us this to get excited about and get off to the races. I love that idea. Or the other brilliant idea. That was a bad idea. We said that was a bad idea. You're facing your face and your James. But you are like that. Underground shit.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Damn. Or maybe it's Dan Stevens. Do you know Dan Stevens? Of course. The head shape. But I also see that head shape and I think of Jim Halpert. Sure. Krasinski.
Starting point is 00:20:29 If you bring up that image again, Barrett, it looks like Jim Halpert. It does. The ears shape, the ear, the length of the... My prediction is it is someone that none of us know. It looks like Jack Ryan. When he plays Jack Ryan, you know, or Reacher. Who does he play? He plays Jack Ryan.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Yeah. Jim Halpert. Yeah. The bomb isn't played. That was a bad and a Affleck movie. It wasn't the Russians. I will say, we're talking about a lot of like bigger actors. I do wonder if there's like a weird trepidation.
Starting point is 00:20:58 maybe Hollywood actors have about playing James Bond in a video game almost like they're like kind of like getting around like going through the official channel being cast in like a movie or something like that so I wonder if they did keep it to more of a bigger video game actor like we were saying earlier on GameCaling
Starting point is 00:21:16 Yeah I predict that it's somebody that we don't know Like even if it was like a video game voice actor that we know I don't think it's one of them It's a name we're going to be like oh we're learning that name for the first time Chat kind of cooking with Andrew Garfield. Always. I don't know my guy in anything. Jack Quay.
Starting point is 00:21:34 That was Dan Stevens' skull. You can't, or Jim Halpert's school. Jack Quaid is inspired. Yeah. And he could and would do it. Is he doing a British accent? You have to. I'm sure he'd nail it.
Starting point is 00:21:47 What if his parents are British? He'd just go like, but he lived in America. Yeah. Yeah, it's a new origin story. Is James Bond is like always the same character, right? Like, between the different actors. It's the same guy. So I do like the idea
Starting point is 00:22:00 He has an American accent And then just somewhere along the way He was like fuck I'm gonna stop I'm gonna stop talking normal There's fun theories about that though Of like 007 just being the title And like like Jay like that It is that
Starting point is 00:22:12 Sean Connery's James Bond did die Because I'm not the James Bond guy But it's what the Q Like has been the same until they died Like they those people cycle out So it's just a title I like that a lot I think that's cool
Starting point is 00:22:25 Yeah and the most recent one No spoilers But they're like They got the 006 up and they take the mantle or whatever. Yeah, and freaking, well, no spoilers. We know what's James Bond, though, right? We know what's James Bond, okay. Yeah, actually.
Starting point is 00:22:42 I think we know what's James Bond. You get renamed as James Bond. It's like when the Pope gets a new Pope name. I mean, he's an American Bond. It's the same thing. Let's move on to Blessing. Oh, for an actual prediction prediction? Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:55 I mean, my prediction is actually Rahul, so don't worry about that. That's one count it. All right. Where do I want to start? Where do I want to start big? I'll start big. You're going to get a big PlayStation thing. Oh!
Starting point is 00:23:07 PlayStation always shows up at Jeff's events. Sometimes with big old new games, sometimes the smaller ones, right? Sometimes you might get a Last of Us remaster. Sometimes you might get a Horizon Lego game. For the game that they're going to announce at SGF, it's going to be the God of War Greek game. it gets announced here. It is a prequel that is set in Greece.
Starting point is 00:23:31 And I would compare it to something like the Assassin's Creed Chronicle games. You're getting a 2D action platformer. Maybe something akin to Prince of Persia, the Lost Crown. Get me my points. Get me my fantasy critic points. Please let this be real. I mean, is it going to come out this year?
Starting point is 00:23:46 Who knows? You picture the 2D thing. It's like, hmm, it'll be like people can get real mad, big mad. I mean, you leave off with it, right? Like, for me, it's the similar thing of Horizon getting a, Lego game. Yeah, just don't hide it. Don't act like you're getting a God of War thing and then
Starting point is 00:23:59 reveal. Yeah. Like, you know, if you jump, even if like on stage, it's like, um, Koi Bar-Log being like, oh, and we're working on a new 2D god of war game and then, like, then reveal it. Like, perpresent. You guys are not trying to do impressions. What the fuck was that? I don't know. Hey, we're working on a new Tuesday. A classic baron. It sounds in my brain. And then like, because that's the type of game that feels when it's being showed off that you're like, oh, this can't be real. And then it zooms out, and it's a TV screen of Nathan Drake playing a God of War video game.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Like, I just don't, I'm kind of with Tim. I feel like people would be so mad if like the new God of War entry, which isn't the new God of War entry, but to have it be a 2D's hat scroll, it would be fascinating. I still come back to the thing of I think you need more games to come out. It's PlayStation, right? Like video, the big entries in these franchises take so long to make. Six minimum. Yeah, like six years minimum to make, right?
Starting point is 00:24:56 And I think you want something in those in-between spaces. Do you want to add something juicy to this prediction? Because Andy has a good point of, like, if you announce this new God of War title, what have you, people are going to be kind of weird about it. People who are in the know aren't going to be, but a lot of normies out there, right? Going to be weird about it. Do they launch it for free as D.L.C. with God of War Ragnarok, just like they did Valhalla.
Starting point is 00:25:19 No. No. Because it's too different of a game, right? Like, I feel like that would be weird to do it as a deal. kind of thing. I think it's staying alone. It probably costs less, right? Maybe like $20 to $30. Depending on what this looks like, right? It could be a really good ass 2D thing. Maybe you're charging $40 to
Starting point is 00:25:34 $50 for it, but I think it's staying alone for sure. Maybe it's free with PS Plus. So crazy that Valhalla was free. Yeah. What a good chunk of... Insane. Video again. It's weird with the... Bless I'm with you, that PlayStation shows up, but like with the rumors of a state of play, that does complicate this a bit. But I feel like PlayStation
Starting point is 00:25:52 does often... Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think the God of War thing, even if it is a 2D thing, which I'd be stoked for, is too big for this type of thing. Have you said that game awards 10 year anniversary, they did have Intergalactic. Like, they pulled that off. Year before that, they announced the Valhalla at the Game Awards thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:13 You want to, I can jump off that if you want. Go for it. I'll bring you down a notch. You want something more PlayStationy since they'll be there. They're confirmed. They're on the, my whole thing's based on the media partners. Exactly, exactly. PlayStation will show up.
Starting point is 00:26:24 And what they'll do is, say, here's a new Astrobot World releasing right now, and it'll be summer themed. Love that. Oh, cute. Yeah. Just like they did the holiday one they did. Yeah. Go out to the beach. You know, jump on the lawn chairs and all that jazz.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Beach chairs. Are the formal fantasy characters finally in it? No. Too big. That's too big. They wouldn't do that. Yeah. I think they will be.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Okay. I do. Maybe it'll be the persona for folks in their outfit from the beach. Bear nose important. I think they're already in there. But in their beach outfit now is it? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Yeah. but you want the astrobots in the beach outfits? I mean they're the astrobot persona 4 I feel like that's just tough to do You know? Are you accepting Tim's tack on
Starting point is 00:27:08 Like add-on thing of Final Fantasy characters being there Because if you do accept that In the official rulebook that is extra two points If it is true No, I'm rejecting it, I don't want that Are you accepting? For sure that's not going to happen Yeah
Starting point is 00:27:20 So if you're wrong about that, you don't Two and three. Well, I guess I'm going to start with the big crazy one because we are talking about Final Fantasy here. And I got to say it. Someone else does or doesn't say it. Will Final Fantasy 7 remake three be announced here? Probably not, right?
Starting point is 00:27:41 No. But you start to look back at some dates and it starts to paint a little picture here, boys. Let me take you on a journey. Oh, shit. I thought he was going to have like a video package prepared. Remake came out on April 10, 20. and then a year later in June, remake Intergrade came out.
Starting point is 00:27:57 All right? The like DLC, the expanded like next-gen version and all that stuff. Right. One year after that, we got the announcement of Rebirth. All right. Yeah, I'm with you still? So where we're at now, since we know we're not getting DLC for Rebirth and everything that the director has said is that we are closer to three than two was to one, this June
Starting point is 00:28:21 would be if following the pattern an acceptable time to announce this thing. They've been at all of the Jeff Keely shows in recent years, multiple times, coming back with rebirth, right? It's not on the realm of possibility. What is more likely them actually finally announcing
Starting point is 00:28:40 it's coming to Xbox. And, you know, we already know that it's coming to remake, at least, is coming to Switch 2. They have said that the series is coming to switch to. We do not have a date. so I do think that there is a possibility in the prediction that I'm going to put down because fuck it I'm feeling spicy we get the date for remake on switch and um I think that we will get the
Starting point is 00:29:03 announcement of the name of whatever the third one is maybe a tease or whatever but the name is the thing that I think will be announced I damn that's really good because I think the way that you sort of play it out the way you structure this reveal yeah is you do you show Final Fantasy first and you get everybody go oh shit they're showing off the third one and then it's like oh it's just this is just them announcing it's coming to the other platforms god dang okay we got our hopes a little too high pivot fucking you know 180 360 no scope and then they go
Starting point is 00:29:35 but also you you get like a little piano playing or whatever the fuck oh man that would be so cool dude and Andy I don't know if you remember the last time they did that but it was when they announced rebirth and they it was the remit of Crisis Corps and then it was like but also and then it was rebirth.
Starting point is 00:29:52 So I think that it, we're on the earliest end of this being possible, but it is entirely in the realm of possibility of being announced at this event. And I think that Final Fantasy 7 remake part three is less sacred of an announcement than the other two. I think that we are
Starting point is 00:30:08 we're here. You know what I mean? Like we know what's happening. We believe it's going to come out in a timely fashion because they've now proven that over the last couple years. And we've heard plenty of reports to that over the last year or so, not even just reports, just straight up from the devs being like,
Starting point is 00:30:23 we are on such, we are in such a rhythm right now. Like, we have Unreal 4 working at, like, the best it can be right now. All of us are just in a rhythm right now, and they're just kind of like cooking exactly what the end of this game is.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Now, right here, I want you to do this. We've done a bunch of these guesses before. Final Fantasy 7, colon blank. What's it going to be? So,
Starting point is 00:30:53 remake had its final song when you face Sephyroth was called One Winged Angel Rebirth. Right. Rebirth was then called Rebirth.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Rebirth's big song ended with, there was two, which makes it complicated. One winged angel reborn. Oh shit. And Ares theme
Starting point is 00:31:15 return to the planet. It's return. Return is what I think is most likely. I like Reborn though. Rebirth, reborn? Yeah, good point, good point. It would have been, I mean, they just... They really fucking wasted reunion on crisis court. Yeah. I know.
Starting point is 00:31:34 It just was such an unforced error. I feel like after the fact six months after the game came on, they're like, damn it, we... We didn't know we were going to do a third one. Yeah. And reunion has been like a core thing in Final SC7 lore forever. That's the entirety of Advent children. So, yeah, it is weird.
Starting point is 00:31:50 They used it up, and I don't think they'll use it again. Other ones people have talked about are reclaim or resurrect, which would, if they called it Final Fantasy 7 resurrect, people would go insane. Like, absolutely, the theories would break people, you know? But I don't think that they have the balls because I don't think that they... Resurrection. Say it would be some weird shit, you know? Barrett, were you out with it?
Starting point is 00:32:14 Resurrection would drive people insane. especially my personal roller coaster with Rebirth and what Rebirth did and what it chose to do and not do. And that whole connotation of the first two games of what it wants to do differently and what it wants to do the same and being stuck in the weird middle. If they called it Resurrection, Jesus fucking Christ, man. No, please no. I'd be fucking high. Do you have any thoughts? No.
Starting point is 00:32:41 It sucks. They don't have, they can't do Reborn or Rebirth. Reborn. Reburn, reburn, reburn, reburn, reburn. your speakers are not malfunctioning right now Andy Cortez what's your next one oh gosh I mean you know so many
Starting point is 00:32:57 you know there's a lot of obvious ones but I want to get a little I want to get just a tiny bit horny not like too crazy um yacht club's going to be there and everybody assumes
Starting point is 00:33:13 Mina the hollowar will be there I think we get a look at Shovel Knight 64 or whatever this 3D thing is going to be. We've, for the past couple years, they had already put up looking for 3D artists on, you know, job searches on LinkedIn and all that sort of stuff. I think we finally get the first look at it. It's going to be meaning the hollower first with the release date,
Starting point is 00:33:38 you know, and oh shit, finally this game's coming out. We know when it's coming out. And then you get the glimpse at that little cube boy in that freaking blue suit. Mega Man Yeah, I think it happens I think we finally get a look at it Is it called Travel 964? I don't know
Starting point is 00:33:56 That's like We've just kind of internally been calling it That's like our code name obviously Around the industry Us 80's chat Well it's just like you know No it's just
Starting point is 00:34:06 When you hear that they are making a 3D game Or you assume they are making a 3D game And I think they even Kind of confirmed that on their Little showcase Whenever they had the showing off kind of a
Starting point is 00:34:19 roadmap of everything. It was like a 10 year anniversary sort of thing or whatever. Yeah, I think it happens here. And it will not be in Yuka replayee or whatever this, yeah. Yeah, I don't know that we ever see that. The shovel night 3D game.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Like I don't think that that actually makes as much sense as us playing the game. I just feel like their skill set is so for shovel night specifically in that 2D world. I think that we would sooner get a shovel night too, like full on actual just sequel. Just because I feel like there's higher potential for it to sell and like be good as well.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Like the space of the 3D platformer, I think is has leveled up so much in the last 10 years of like, it better be fucking Astrobot if you're putting something out there or else. I just feel like it's not going to have that same level of like, oh shit. But also Yalklb have done an incredibly impossible thing. So. But I do think me to the hollow is there. with a date. Yeah. This year? Yes. Because I need that.
Starting point is 00:35:20 As critic needs it, baby. Yeah. What do you think, Bless, you think we're seeing Shovel Night 64? I don't know. I don't have much of an opinion on Shovel Night.
Starting point is 00:35:28 I'm weirdly, like, I've never gotten around to, like, really experiencing shovel night like that. Which is funny because it would be my type of shit. But, like, I think it'd be cool, right? Like, I think as far as
Starting point is 00:35:37 what a Shovel Night 64 excite me, like, for sure, somebody who's way more into, like, a 3D platformer type experience. So, like, I don't want it to happen, but, yeah, I don't know. I don't have any big opinion on it.
Starting point is 00:35:47 I think also, Mina the Holloware, I would expect to see more from that than we see, before we see, like, a big brand new game. Yeah. I'd be hyped to see a three platformer for sure.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Oh, yeah. I think it's unlikely. Like, who were they hiring? Why were they looking for 3D artists? I can't get my mind away from it. I can't get my mind away from it. Bless. Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Persona 4 rerun is happening. It gets announced. It gets a year. It's coming out in 2026. It features all, of the English cast. So you have the return of Erie Lowenthal. You have the return of...
Starting point is 00:36:23 But they said they weren't going to be there. They did. They said they weren't going to be part or returning for the Persona 4 remake. And that's because rerun isn't a remake. Rerun is way more of a large, almost like a retool, reimagining, right?
Starting point is 00:36:38 Rebirth, a remake. Rebirth, a reunion. No, they're going in and like, I would say this is a golden slash royal style. Like, we're going in and like being additive to this game and also retooling quite a bit of this game to modernize them and stuff, so much of what they did with Persona 3 reload,
Starting point is 00:36:54 but then also at the same time, I think they're going to go in and add new story beats slash edit certain story beats, like heavily edit certain story beats. They need to. Because they need to, because as much as I love persona for Golden, it's like a top 15 game of all time for me. That game also has certain character arcs that are
Starting point is 00:37:10 very homophobic and very problematic. And so I think this is their chance to go in and make that stuff right. And also, like, I think treat this as a bigger thing as far as, like, it not just being a remake, it being another step forward for the persona four story, which gets hype because when you look at the voice cast, right? Like, we saw the tweets from Yuri Lowenthal and Aaron Fitzgerald, but then you look at like
Starting point is 00:37:33 Conji who's played by, I believe Matt Mercer, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Matt Mercer picked up for the animation and then Perseona for arena, I think. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:44 And so like, I think a remake of Persona Four, at least on the English side, has a, a lot of potential to like really lean on the voice cast to like hype this up and make this a big release. And have you noticed, I think it was Mike Manati who had this pointed out to him and he posted that the order in which the actors have posted is the order in which you get those party members in the game which, yeah, it feels like this is a very
Starting point is 00:38:09 weird marketing ploy somehow. It is unfortunate though because you completely lost that point bless. This was the wrong show to make that prediction for. You think it's happening at Xbox? A hundred percent because that's where Persona 3 reload was announced. I mean, that's fair. Yeah. I thought about that. The only thing against that for me, and I'm still, my money's on Xbox. The Xbox showcase can only have so much. Like, that's the problem is like now that they own so much, like, having partner things, I think is going to be like they need to put them somewhere else. So that's my only thought
Starting point is 00:38:40 process on maybe we see it at Jeff's show. But yeah, I can see, I mean, I can see it happening either, right? Like, I understand the leaning towards Xbox because of the persona announcements we got last year. I think for me I'm like, all right, how ongoing is that agreement slash partnership? Is that a thing that it's like, all right, as Xbox we want to really lean into persona for the years
Starting point is 00:38:58 to come or if it wasn't just that moment of the thing? No matter what, like, this is a prediction for the next week, but I guess, yeah, SGF, this is the SGF prediction show. It's going to happen. Yes. Gregory. Can I just get in real quick at the end
Starting point is 00:39:18 of the Yacht Club game presents from June 14th 2024 almost a year ago now says all the they said that they are working a brand new brand new shovel night adventure that takes the game to a new dimension another dimension
Starting point is 00:39:34 possible another dimension there you're right 40 your chair shakes The Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 arrives this week week one day before SGF. While we have been excited for Nintendo's latest foray
Starting point is 00:39:50 in the console and slash handheld gaming, what is this? What's he doing? We have all said. We have all set over and over and over again. Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?
Starting point is 00:40:06 No. This will be the show. No. When Nintendo announced that Animal Crossing is in fact getting its little free update for the Switch 2. Zero charps. Why not? And let's have some fun at the.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Nintendo Switch 2's on there. Give him something big. Give Jeff something big. Give him a big thing. Jeff goes big. Let him have his big thing. Jeff, do you want a big thing? Give him something big, man. Don't wear short sleeves.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Don't wear long sleeves. Wear no sleeves. This is my pie in the sky dream. I know it won't happen. I know the New Horizons will not get a Switch 2 announcement there, but I'd like to drink. I thought you were going to bring a hollowing of the Silk Song. Yeah, I thought you were to say Silk Song as well. No, no, no, I don't care about it.
Starting point is 00:40:44 You kept saying, like, we keep on wondering where it's at. I'm like, me and Joey keep on wondering where it's at. Why are all these other games getting enhanced Switch 2 editions? We're getting free updates for little ones. I mean, you just prefaced it like as if, you know, the whole industry is clamoring. They are. It's me and Joey. That's 20% of the company.
Starting point is 00:41:03 What else you want from us? You say no. What is your reasoning here? We're just not going to get anything because we're a year, two years away from a new Animal Crossing? My reasoning is I think that the small handful of games that are the most obvious important switch games that don't have the enhancements yet are going to get Switch 2 editions with more content. Smash Brothers, Animal Crossing, like this is a good thing, I think. Because it's not just going to be it runs a little bit better. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:29 I mean, I feel like, Tim, he wants it now. I would not be surprised if the next, the next direct, like that's the next real directs and not our partner. Show me or whatever, like, I imagine that they'll do that because this year's just already packed with like the game. game releases and they're treating the Switch 2 editions as if their new titles. So, so far, like, almost every month has one with Kirby and Mario Party and the two Zelda's. So there are some open months that I do think would be very nice for a Animal Crossing New Horizons plus fucking Yoshi's World and World. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:42:03 Yeah, yeah. Some like that. All right, I'm going to stick with my kind of like unlikely predictions, but I want to believe, and I think it is time and I think it's inevitably going to show up somewhere within the next year. So why not here?
Starting point is 00:42:18 Oliver versus Capcom has been gone a while. New games. But it did come back recently and everyone's all stoked. The brand is not dead. However, I unfortunately think it kind of is. I think we get
Starting point is 00:42:31 a Capcom fighting game. Oh. But I don't think Marvel is involved. Interesting. But I think it is in the style of a Marvel. versus Capcom. Huh.
Starting point is 00:42:43 You don't think it's Capcom versus another brand? I think it's just a Capcom versus game. I think they have enough IP and
Starting point is 00:42:48 enough brand and it's been a long enough time that we haven't seen all those characters fight. And it's not necessarily the most exciting thing because I'm thinking
Starting point is 00:42:56 that a lot of people want that Marvel. But I think that this is kind of a step towards proving, hey, we can do the fun crossover thing and make it actually
Starting point is 00:43:04 work again. And then the next step would be bringing back the Marvel side of it. Bring back the Marvel side in order to kind of prove,
Starting point is 00:43:13 themselves. Yeah, prove themselves with the Capcom fighting game that they still got it outside of Street Fighter. You know what I'm? In terms of the crossover type fighter and then the next game being a Marvel versus Capcom. Maybe even like straight of calling it Marvel versus Capcom 4. I'm going way bigger with it. I think that they are including
Starting point is 00:43:29 the MCU and the rest of Disney. Oh wow. Wow. Capcom versus Disney. Yeah, Disney's so on board with fighting games. 3D style or unfortunately. Yeah. I vastly prefer the old school pickle. pixel art i don't think that we'll ever see that again and i think that we're lucky that
Starting point is 00:43:47 we got the uh ports of the the classics as well so i'll be happy with that you mentioned they got a bunch of ip now what who would who would you really pop off for to see in this trailer where they're fighting reu i don't know but i feel like get monster hunter involved get like just get like more like modern when we think of resin evil just they look like the remake versions like things like that you know i just feel like we're due for like what is the state of capcom at this point we've loved Capcom the last 10 years, and I feel like that wasn't the case really going into Marvel versus Capcom Infinite. Well, Oni Musha. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Oh, exactly, right? Yeah. So a lot of potential there. I don't know that now's the time, but also, why the fuck not? Why the fuck not everybody? Can we have some fucking fun? Why not? All right, Andy, I want to get to your predictions, but I want to do that after a word from our sponsors.
Starting point is 00:44:40 This episode's brought to you by Xreal. know that a few months ago my life changed forever when I brought a pair of X-Real-1 AR glasses on a long flight to New York. I legit could not believe how easy it is to use and high quality my experience was playing games, watching movies, TV shows on the plane without just too much extra stuff around me or especially not a giant goofy headset around my head. No joke, this is my favorite new tech product in years and it has earned a permanent spot in my travel bag. It is only hard to believe that it works as well as I'm saying until you try X-Real-1 AR glasses for yourself. And then you will see that the future is now.
Starting point is 00:45:20 The tech is here. Connect X-Real-1 glasses to wherever you are playing, whether it's a handheld console, a PC, phone, home console. You just get a massive 150-inch virtual screen anywhere, anytime, for any game. Gaming on the go, like a long-haul flight, you need the X-Real 1. Next, starting to hurt from staring down at your handheld. We've all been there. You need an X-Real 1.

You're going to hear me talking about these forever. Go to Xreal.com for more. And we're back to go through our SGF predictions for what's happening at Friday
Starting point is 00:46:28 Showcase. But remember, ladies gentlemen and NBs, we need yours as YouTube superchats. If you're watching live right now, you can go to YouTube.com slash kind of funny games. Super chat, your predictions. And Blessing will say, hey, that's good. and Andy will say, hey, that's not good. And then me and Tim will decide if it was good or not good. Andy Cortez, what's your next prediction?
Starting point is 00:46:49 My next prediction. I don't know where I want to take this. You couldn't even get through the sentence where he freaked out about it. I don't know where I want to take it. Because I'm worried about you all stealing them. You know what? I'm going to go with the obvious ones because I feel like it's an easy point. I've already done a couple of, you know, random ones.
Starting point is 00:47:07 we know that freaking NeoWiz is going to be there and I think we see the LizaP DLC with the final release date and the release date will be I don't think now that's out today
Starting point is 00:47:26 I was going to go I think September because that technically still feels like summer 2025 right like the fall starts in October I believe last I checked last time I had a conversation about this it went hey it went back I love what just happened right there is Andy was like trying to poke a bear
Starting point is 00:47:42 But he wasn't sure which bear he was poking And he looks at Blas And I saw a blest have a crisis of just like He was like I know I fought about this But I don't remember what side I was all Yeah Because it was a thing where like I believe I tried to imply
Starting point is 00:47:55 That August was kind of like fall Oh yeah No No Like in what we're talking about releases Like the fall releases August it's kind of like It's a little bit in there
Starting point is 00:48:06 October's when it starts If you told me, like, oh, man, we got big plans to the fall and it happens in August. I'm not mad. Okay. I'm not mad. Okay. All right. Yeah, I think August or September is likely when this thing comes out.
Starting point is 00:48:19 I think they want to be further. Look at a way to just like how the rest of the scheduling looks. Metal Gear Solid 3 coming out at the end of August. I think lost soul aside, not that they're worried about that, but that's just another type of one of these games that could take away from them. I think possibly early September, mid-September is when we see the Liza P released day. But we finally freaking get it. I think it's the school year. That fucks me up.
Starting point is 00:48:44 You know what I mean? Because that's Mike's argument. Mike's argument is like, ah, slobby school starts back up late August. It's fall. And like the semester starts in late August. But that's because most of the semester is in fall, not because it starts in fall. And I understand that, right? But then let's call it the fucking summer then going into fall fucking semester.
Starting point is 00:49:01 That's too wordy. Yeah, it's too weird. It's not catch. Come on. I'm just saying, you know. So I just had to go with a quick little safe one. Yeah, that's my quick little safe. I like that.
Starting point is 00:49:08 I like that. A safe bet. Bless. I'll do an unsafe one? Ooh. But it's not like, there's nothing crazy except for probably me. You know what I mean? Like, I think Magic the Gathering shows up.
Starting point is 00:49:19 I think they announced another video game collaboration. And that collaboration, ladies gentlemen and MBS is from software. Oh my. We're getting Elnering cards. We're getting Dark Souls cards. Dark Souls, too. Not Bloodborn. Not Bloodborn.
Starting point is 00:49:33 No, so, Sony. Because of Sony. Yeah, yeah. Maybe even Armored Core, but who knows? Probably not Armored Core, though. Armored Core cards would be fucking sick, but that's a different set. That's a different set. I mean, I would be at that same excitement levels, Tim is for the Final Fantasy cards.
Starting point is 00:49:47 I mean, that's a good prediction because I feel like it's like not. It's not impossible. It's not impossible. It's not like likely, but it's you're thinking about things. You're thinking about things together that could happen. I like that. I say unlikely because I'm not going off of any reports. I'm not going off of any reports.
Starting point is 00:50:03 not going off of any like speculation or whatever. I'm just speaking from the heart or a thing that I want to speak into existence. It's the next logical thing. It's the thing that people always go, when is this next thing going to happen? And that, yeah, that would be a perfect deal. I was going through the video game IP that makes sense to collaborate right with Match at the Gathering. And I think something that's fantasy, something that kind of like has a very dedicated fan base.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Also, what can hit on the level of something like a Final Fantasy. And I think an elderly, like a Dark Souls kind of thing, makes a ton of sense and would get people hell of hype. Especially when you think about all of the From Software bosses that would be individual cards. Like, brother. Like, I'm getting excited just thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:50:42 They also did SpongeBob though, which is like Yeah. They're willing to go anywhere. That's true. I was really unhappy with the art on those cards. Yeah, very uninspired. They are original art though. Like, they're just taken from scenes,
Starting point is 00:50:55 but they had to redo all that shit. So, like, you can see more things in the background of certain scenes and shit. I really wanted them to look. You know when in an episode of Renan Stimpy, when they really want to show how gross somebody's faces, and it's like so weirdly
Starting point is 00:51:10 ultra detailed. I was hoping for like that level of fidelity. You could have also just used the example of SpongeBob, which also just does that. Yeah, but Renner Stimpy's Wig. Yeah, it was a show. Okay. Fair. Greg. This is a boring one, but I think it'll give me the point and I'm excited
Starting point is 00:51:26 about it. Monster Hunter Wilds comes out and debuts the first trailer for their next title update. title update two. We know it's coming this summer. They've obviously were on the other side now of the collaboration when you look at the Monster Hunter Wilde's roadmap for what was coming. They had the one before
Starting point is 00:51:42 title update two was in fact the Capcom crossover which we of course now know to be Street Fighter and then you know various patches fixes. So we're on the doorstep here of what will happen in title update two and I think it's a great time to come out and remind everybody hey we're halfway through the year. This was you a lot of you really
Starting point is 00:51:58 like this in the beginning of the year. Here's the next big monster, the next big area, the next big whatever we're doing to get you into it. Waffle in the run says switch two release for monster hunter. Great question. This one I I I temper my expectations still because I feel like we don't I we don't know how things are you guys kind of do as you play it with cyberpunk what is it actually going to look like how is it actually going to run what how much of an improvement is this going to feel like as we play something on switch two that and I'm a little hazier on that. I think the big thing is there was I forget the source of this but uh the the ridiculous tweet that went out that was just
Starting point is 00:52:32 like the three phases of the Switch 2's games this year. And it was just like Nintendo stuff, the third parties that are there. And then there's going to be a wave of third parties that got Dev Kits later. I imagine this is probably an example of that. Having said that, clearly Capcom did have access because Kinzegami. Yep. Path of the goddess. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:51 I think that's a, it feels like a very short bet that it will be on Switch 2. You think so? Yeah. But like then announcing that here? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Wow. Yeah, especially with how with cyberpunk looking as good as it does, but still running at 30.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Like they will cap it at 30 still and you'll have it at 1080p, maybe up res to 1440 or something like that. I think it's definitely possible. We'll see. My next one's sticking with this is more for me than anybody. But Tony Hodge Pro Skater 3 and 4 will be there. This group of Activision always partners with Jeff and Jeff always treats them well and gives them a lot of stage time, whether it's crash bandicoot coming out for God knows what reasons. He's always there.
Starting point is 00:53:34 And I am questioning what they could possibly show that's exciting. I also know full well they could just show something that's not exciting. That's probably the more likely thing is just, hey, it's a reminder this game's coming out in a couple weeks, getting past, blah, blah, blah, blah, all that stuff. I do think, though, they're going to want to tie it with something that is exciting. They're running out of those things. They already announced that BAM's coming back as a secret skater.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Tony Hawk 1 and 2 didn't really have secret skaters, which was a big bummer because of the Tony Hawk franchise. known for the Darth malls and Iron Man and Spider-Man's and blah, blah, blah. I feel like there's more hope here because the DLC is coming with Doom stuff, characters, and music. My dream and hope for one was that Crash Bandicoot was going to be in it. I think they're going to make it happen now. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:54:23 I think Crash Bandicoot will be a secret skater in Tony Hawkingville announced that. And if not Crash, a secret, my prediction is a secret skater that's not just a skater will be announced for Tony Hawk 3 and 4. A dude in a crash suit? A mascot of some sort. I would love that. Just a dude in a crash suit. I would love if it was the dude in the crash suit.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Oh, yeah. That's what I had in my head. But yeah, I think that we'll get a some secret skater that is more in line with the doom stuff they're doing, as opposed to the Andy Anderson or Ban Margera that we already know about. I like it. SpongeBob. I like it.
Starting point is 00:54:58 I mean, yeah, SpongeBob is in the secret level thing. Yeah. And it's weird. honest, I would personally think it would be weird, Tim, if we get that, and that's all we get of a SpongeBob collaboration? Yeah, it's a weird choice. I know. Really, really weird. We also are not even talking about the possibility of these IPs going, you know, becoming just costumes and things that you wear.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Like, you could just have a SpongeBob shirt or the Crash Bandicoot suit that you could put on any skater, you know. I mean, they're doing that with, like, Taco Bell. Yeah. Like, there's Taco Bell. outfits in the game. That's awesome. Anytime you grind by a Taco Bell in one of the levels it does the gong-l-l-l-mah sound.
Starting point is 00:55:39 That's fun. Andy. That's a great activation. We get a big fucking logo hits from software. That's not even that exciting of a reveal. But it's Night Rain
Starting point is 00:55:54 DLC, or not an airy-dil-C, but just updates to Night Rain. I think that we get shown two new nightfarers that you will be playing as. Um, bear, do me a favor. Can you Google right now? I'm looking for, looking for his name real quick.
Starting point is 00:56:11 We're going to get two night fairs. One of them will be a spellcaster, which is a lot more conventional compared to the recluse that we have in the game right now, because that character can be a little bit more difficult to get the hang of. And then, Bear, can you Google Engward, the Guardian of the Seal? Please, thank you. I-N-G-W-A-R-D. What you just say to me?
Starting point is 00:56:32 We just don't really have a... We don't have a character in like a red costume. And I expect to see a character in like a cool red costume. Maybe, you know, I look at Ingrid and he looks just, he looks so cool as an NPC in Dark Souls 1. I think we get a dude in a red sort of looking vibe to him. So this dude was in Dark Souls 1? Dark Souls 1, yeah. Really?
Starting point is 00:56:51 And then I think that we see some more glimpses at returning Dark Souls bosses for mini, many bosses. Little glimpses of them. And the same that we saw Nameless King from Dark Souls 3 pop up in that sort of first trailer. And we all freaked out. I think we'll get like Ornstein and Smow or some of the more known amongst the Souls community. It's like, oh shit, those dudes are popping up. Hear me out. You get one of the Guardian apes.
Starting point is 00:57:19 Go for the Guardian. I don't think they do Securo. I don't think we ever see Sequeuro shit. But yeah, that's my. If I saw the Guardian ape, I think I would cry a little bit. I think I'll turn off the game. Yeah. I'm like, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Yeah. Demon of hatred. Bless. Is this the final prediction? No. Yeah. It's a second list. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:57:39 All right. I'm, yeah, let's do it. Bloomhouse. Oh. Bloomhouse shows up. And on stage is Sam Barlow. He's revealing his next game. And that is Project C.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Of course, that is already announced to be published by Bloomhouse. And they announced that it is coming. I want to say later this year. but I don't have it in me so I'm gonna say 2026 is when it's coming but it does star a big name actor and I don't have any specific guesses of a big name actor
Starting point is 00:58:14 but I'll just throw out Lil Dickie no because it's gonna be horror you know what I mean here's the thing a little dicky horror would be fucking fantastic Josh Peck I was gonna say Isabella Merced or like that
Starting point is 00:58:25 that kind of actor like I wrote down Jenna Ortega but like that's similar to Tom Holland thing of like too big too big now but like somewhere in that tier of act You know what I mean? Isabella's on the come up right now.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Isabella is on the come up. Last of Us. Hawk girl. That's my prediction. I like it. Greg. I really like that one. I think Jeff's going to once again get a big get in quotes.
Starting point is 00:58:49 I mean, you know, if you think it's a big get. From Microsoft as a way to promote their show. I think similar to how the Game Awards revealed the Xbox Series X way way back in the day, I think this is where we get a glimpse at the Microsoft, ASIS, Ragh, Ally, to whatever. they're calling it. I said it to assets. The thing that you know, leaked forever ago. I think you do a pan over here, you know, some sexy little thing. I think the screen shows
Starting point is 00:59:11 this rumored Xbox Microsoft OS for it. And I think then it's basically like more details on Sunday. I like that. Well, it's even interesting you say that. I like it being here because it doesn't feel like an Xbox showcase type announcement. They don't really focus on hardware and OSs
Starting point is 00:59:27 and all that stuff traditionally in their summer showcase. So I think, yeah, having that moment be here is good. You think it's deeper than mine though? You think they're actually going to go into it more? I mean, I don't think they need to. I think it's kind of self-explanatory. I feel like, yeah, you announce it, you show it, you make people that understand know exactly what it is, and if they
Starting point is 00:59:43 don't, they're like, oh, is that an Xbox handheld? They look in the press release, watch the videos on their own time and that's where their answers come. But I do like that. I do think that we we see that this week and I think it'll be a Jeff's thing. I'm jumping off yours with more Xbox things. They're touching hands right enough for the audio listeners?
Starting point is 00:59:59 I think that at the Jeff's show, we will get Xbox game announcements coming to PS5 and the Switch. I think that that will be the focus for those. Again, going back to Xbox showcase, they got too much tips to talk about. Is this where Starfield? Is it where Starfield PS5
Starting point is 01:00:16 and a couple announcements of games coming to Switch as well. Maybe that includes Halo Master Chief Collection and some of the other ones. But yeah, I think that we will get my prediction to not just have this be the most obvious thing in the world. I think that we will get Starfield on PS5 specifically and at least one other title that is coming to Switch 2 as well and like just those announcements,
Starting point is 01:00:41 whether it's the ports or just, what was on PS5, now it's also coming to Switch or some of their games getting more answers there because I do think that we're going to hear them talk about PlayStation and Switch during their showcase, but I still think that we're in the end of that period of just kind of like tying the bows on some things of just where we're at currently.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Is there any mention of a Halo in this? I mean, I think Halo Master's Sheep collection is not unlikely. And if they announce it, I think it's, if the announcement is, it's Switch and PS5. The only thing that throws me off... That's one of those where were you moments, you know?
Starting point is 01:01:18 I know. I know. The only thing that's throwing me off on that is the Gears Collection or whatever it was, just the remake of the first one. What is it a collection or just a remake of the first one? That's where you start. And them throwing all those things out so close together, I don't know if that's the best move.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Having said that, they keep doing that. So more of a remorse. I feel like they keep throwing a lot of announcements, a lot of games just back to back to back to back, because that's just how much shit they have right now. But yeah, I expect some fun Xbox announcements that are for the other systems. It's better to hide behind 40 atrocities and just one, you know?
Starting point is 01:01:56 Are you watching Andor or like what's going on there? Yeah, I was just thinking about that. I was just thinking like there's so many news coming at us. sounds like a joke like an anti-X-box fan would say what's your final prediction final prediction for me um
Starting point is 01:02:11 he's got lots of pick from over there a lot to pick from uh I think that we get house marks Soros's gameplay shown with Ravel Koli introducing it on stage
Starting point is 01:02:29 it just kind of makes sense to me And again, I'm predicting this because I don't know anything about it. This isn't, you know, that's it. We have a very, very, you know, strict rules here. You know something, you don't say it. Exactly. See something to say something. I think that we get this gameplay and it looks just, it's just the sickest looking
Starting point is 01:02:51 returnal successor that we could have possibly wanted to. No. A window. Do we have a window yet? Did they say 2026? I don't think so. Let me look at the trail. I thought they said 2026, but
Starting point is 01:03:04 I got a window. I thought they did too, but maybe a seasonal window where blessed questions is August fall, though. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, so does that include August? Yeah. The same.
Starting point is 01:03:15 The biggest thing for that is Jeff likes celebrity and Jeff likes big games and Jeff likes PlayStation. So yes, Jeff would want that. And rolls there, as far as I know. I think he's in L.A. at this point. So it's like that is possible, but I do believe the rumors of a state of play.
Starting point is 01:03:35 And if there is a state of play, that's where that is. Yeah. And the resident evil. Do you think, 2026, it was in the trailer? I do think that whatever gets shown here will be, you'd get extra snippets of it in the state of play. It just makes, it just feels like this is right. I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:54 I like the idea of having someone on stage and debuting the gameplay and like having that moment. Like that adds value, I think, too. Yeah. The Summer Game Fest, stage show. Bless, what's your last one? Between three small ones? Like, none of them are, like, really stand out. I was thinking about doing it three.
Starting point is 01:04:10 This is what, okay, this is what I'm going to do. It's a triple threat. Oh, all right? All or nothing. Whoa. All right? I want the full point or no point? One of these three things happen.
Starting point is 01:04:20 All right? First thing, mixtape. Big parlay. It gets a fall release and gets me a lot of open critic points. I have that. Borderlands Four shows as a story trailer that mixes all laugh. Oh shit. We all have to laugh. Okay. Yes. And then lastly,
Starting point is 01:04:35 Directive 8020 convinces all that it's really good looking. The game, that's the... Supermassive. Yeah, the supermassive game is coming out. The Dark Pictures Anthology. It shows to the trailer and we're all like, damn, that looks pretty good. And then the game comes out and we're all like, all right, cool, it's like a seven. Yeah. I like that. I like that. A combo wombo. Yeah. Are you going to combo wobble to be great? Fuck no. I'm going to do that. I'm going to do it. I'm going to piggyback off of this.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Yeah, the Borderlands Four is there. And I think they do some. something crazy. And I think they come out and they announce that they're, you know, I was so worried about this $80 version and it was so much problem or whatever. I think they announced a $60 version of the game at $59.99. Whoa. No way. I think they go the opposite.
Starting point is 01:05:14 That is so good. I love that. I think it would be a fun one is that everybody's worried about that. They come out and do the opposite 2K. And there's like, it's like obviously the no frills, whatever. But it's like,
Starting point is 01:05:24 here's a $60 version of the game. And then there is the normal 70. Then there is the deluxe 180, whatever it's going to be. What would it be in the $60 version? Just enough to fucking play. No extra outfits, golden keys, any of that bullshit. There's no menu.
Starting point is 01:05:40 I honestly think that that is one of the craziest predictions any of us has ever made. Yeah. Like, out of all the properties and all the publishers, 2K and Borderlands 4, no way. They make enough money on virtual currency and 2K. They're going to play out GTA 6 for like $100.00. I agree that it's not going to happen. I just think it was a fun one as I went through. And I think, like, the fun part about it would be to play with it.
Starting point is 01:06:03 And it would be the usual upsell of always, right? Of like, here. And I even thought about them make, like, this is where it gets like, now you're being mean of like they make a $1.99 version of the game. That's like one level. You install the entire thing and you can't do anything, but there's one thing. Like, that's the kind of stupid stuff. They, I, the jokes that they would do. Clap trap is introducing it or something like that.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Yeah, yeah. Wow. The $60, not a real fan edition. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's good. All right, where do I want to go? Yeah, we're at the point that there's just some fucking obvious ones.
Starting point is 01:06:37 You know what I mean? Like, am I really going to sit here and be like, I predict that Sonic Racing Cross Worlds is going to get a release date? No shit. It's going to, okay? Guarantee. Our creator's shadow drop. That's the other one.
Starting point is 01:06:48 That is the other one. What are you saying, Bless? It's a predicted new Sonic game. Sonic Mania, too. I don't think it's, oh my God, don't do that to me. Man, we have, oh my God. Tim, you would have loved this moment that me and Bless experience at the Liza P. DLC event. We're sitting with Tam.
Starting point is 01:07:04 And Tam looks at me. Oh. And we're talking about SGF. I don't know if you can say this actually. Because Tam then, there was a later moment where Tam told me that it was actually true. No. No.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Yeah. We can talk about that afterwards. But yeah. Keep your secrets. Tam told me a thing of like a franchise I care about of like, oh, this thing's happening. And like, he kept like going. with the bit and I was like you're fucking with me and he was like
Starting point is 01:07:32 then he convinced me and I was like yo that's crazy and Tam was like I'm totally fucking with you next day I get a message from Greg he's like you know you want to check out this thing and I was like wait I looked at Tim and I was like he was like yeah I fucked with you again it's true he's too much of a triple double process yeah he's crazy fucking damn well never mind then holy shit
Starting point is 01:07:49 well all right I want to throw one out there that I think is gonna happen and I want I want the fun like what the hell that seems random as shit so I'm gonna say it Ace Combat 8. All right. Wow.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Okay. Celebrities? 2019, we got Ace Combat 7. Sky is unknown. Oh, shit. I'm like, that's a cool name. I've never played these games, but 2019 seems like it's been a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:16 I was looking at the, I was trying to find a franchise and I'm like, what's, like, overdue? And I was like, Ace Combat sounds, I haven't heard Ace Combat in a while, right? Hell of, I mean, not since PS4, yeah. People said that shit was hype. And so, hey, if Ace Combat 7, Sky's Unknown in 2019. 19 hit hard, I want to know what Ace Combat 8 has of its sleeves. If Jeff's not going to wear them, maybe they will. Ace Combat also just feels like a game that, a style of game that could be gone forever.
Starting point is 01:08:43 Yeah. It's either coming out with a new sequel or we will never see a version of that game ever again. I think we saw the last one in 2019. Ace Combat, I'm telling you. It'll be there. It'll be there, everyone. All right, I want to do, we got a lot of super chats. So I know we're running a little long, but I want to get through all of these things.
Starting point is 01:09:01 So I'm going to run through these super chats, and let's have a quick discussion on the likelihood of the predictions, all right? You got it. Nathan Maloney says, Kingdom Hearts or Mike, it's taken by Canada. Kingdom Hearts is very unlikely to be there. But possible, we did just get some screenshots of Kingdom Hearts 4. I think because we got those, then that means no.
Starting point is 01:09:23 We're not going to get it. Yeah. I'm with you, too. Uncharted Wolf says it's got to be time to see toys for Bob. I'm so ready to see the spiral game they've been working on. If we see toys for Bob, I think it'll be Xbox. Yeah. That'll be a nice little variety in whatever is going to be on that show.
Starting point is 01:09:43 We're doing our Xbox predictions tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah. Guitar Hero Arrow says, if Red Dead Redemption 2, PS5 is real, please God, is Summer Game Fest the place for it? Or is that a random rock star blue skeet on a random Monday? Skit, skeet, I mean, that's a tweet from Rockstar 100%. Oh, Jurassic Park survive in this?
Starting point is 01:10:01 Oh, yeah. Walk in it, right? Yeah. Got to see that. What was the Ark game, Ark Survival, the sequel? With Vin Diesel? Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:10:11 What's the random performance going to be? I feel like Summer Game Fest always has a random music performance. When there's no Ubisoft thing, I wonder if there's like a just, I wonder if Just Dance. When there's no room left in hell, Just Dance or Walk Meard.
Starting point is 01:10:25 Was Ubisoft on the logos page? They probably weren't. I feel like they never show up to this thing. But also, even when they were doing their own thing, Mike was always the one point out the last couple of years they weren't doing the just dance intro yeah which was i know it wasn't on this partners program and but the this does say round one until they did bring back the just dance intro in the worst presentation they ever at the holiday in yeah yeah i think i was the one
Starting point is 01:10:46 that pointed out last time where there was no just dance announced at the ubisoft event and then like it was at the next nintendo switch uh or nintendo direct where they announced the just dance i don't know because i i remember i'm going to say there's no uh performance but i feel like i maybe i'm wrong but i feel like there always is even if it's just celebrating something because there was that one really pretty cell shaded game and then they did a song from that you don't talk about a lot of orange
Starting point is 01:11:11 in it they're in the desert oh yes yes is it the one about the couple no stable that's the one that's what it is that's what they did they do one last year we get Expedition 33 songs see did Tim you saw what I saw in chat no oh never mind I was going to say Carolyn
Starting point is 01:11:27 Polichick there's somebody in chat that mentioned Kojima going to be there. DS2 is coming up. We know that she's made the title song. Oh, that's a Roger. That's good. You know, I was making that face because Andy got me hired.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Yeah, Expedition 33. Please, just do it. Yeah. I don't even give a fuck. Don't announce anything. Who cares? Or now if it's coming to Switch 2, that'd be even better. I, I mean, there was a lot of Expedition 33 in that
Starting point is 01:11:51 Keely trailer cut. I think there's a good chance that we just get some solo performance. That'd be sick, dude. I love that. uh... Aaron Limebine Man that fucking song is crazy man Aaron Lime says no way Jeff shows off the final
Starting point is 01:12:07 Metal Gear Solid trailer but could he show off a release date for Silent Hill F it was rated in South Korea a while back yeah definitely but also I I feel like he could show the final trailer I don't think that there needs to be a final trailer that game seems kind of like wrapped up marketing wise
Starting point is 01:12:22 Sin Hill F is that the one in the past like way back I don't know this is the new big deal one though. That's Is that like, I think it's a period piece, right? I'm pretty sure. I don't remember that. I don't think it's a modern one.
Starting point is 01:12:36 It's the F stand for. It was just a lot of like different Silent Hills being announced at one day and I get them all It's like a Satan's Creed fucking jade or whatever. Yeah. It's the Japan one set in the past. Got you, got you. The cyborg. Cyborg. Tundra boy says Tomb Raider, Wolf Among Us 2 and Play Dead's
Starting point is 01:12:55 next game. Oh, play deads. Where the fuck is Tombarder? I mean, that's the big question, right? Like, I feel like if it's alive, it'll probably be here. Okay. Right? Because look, if it's not announced here, it's not being announced next year.
Starting point is 01:13:10 That game's dead. We have Sansa playing her in a movie or on a show, whatever they're doing. It's getting ripped. You've seen her? That's a movie. Crazy apps. Like, I think it makes sense to try to, you know, coordinate those releases. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:14:32 I demand you properly, Docs your friend. You are incorrect. It was baseball king, 2010. That's his professional email. No, no, no. He had that, but he also, he had straight kill a dude, 007. His baseball king was when that was his solution to be professional. Got it.
Starting point is 01:14:47 After we told him straight to do a double seven is too much. I love seeing Kevin set up the Xbox last week when Greg was going to play something, looking through all the gamer tags and go. going, who the fuck is freak nasty 22? That's Mike's other account. It's his other gamer tag. Mike Kelly Hurst says, are we thinking Resident Evil 9? Yes, but not

Thank you. I love your. Sir Chadwin says Anthony Mackey will be there to announce Twist and Metal Season 2 trailer
Starting point is 01:15:26 is my most out there prediction. Oh, that's possible because, yeah, we now know the date. I think it's in August, and we got a clip from it. It wasn't really so much a trailer. So I do think we're due for a trailer on that one. What next story arcs do you think they're exploring? And Twisted Metal? Fucking stupid show, why does it exist?
Starting point is 01:15:44 Like, I don't, I don't, why does it exist? You asked that. There's so many shows that should be getting this treatment. No. I think Tim was talking. We were having a conversation about the story. It's awesome. And the story for two is about to be great.
Starting point is 01:15:54 They're doing the game. They're finally doing the tournament. It's about to be awesome, Andy. Axel is in it. The guy that holds on to the giant two wheels. How is he not going to die? If a bullet hits him, he's going to die. Nobody knows who that is.
Starting point is 01:16:08 Axel? I feel like that's one of the more popular ones, yeah. Come on, man. Get educated. Andy's calling it like he sees it. Yeah, well, you know, peacock saw it. They saw those dollar sides, all right?
Starting point is 01:16:18 Eyes are on twisted metal. It's insane to me. Stephen Marshall says, Rebirth 2 Reborn. Steve McGovern says my wife's thirsting for a legend of babu date Legend of babu what's that No idea Is that the monkey one?
Starting point is 01:16:34 I mean that just sounds like you've heard of a monkey name babu or balbu Oh it's a dog I remember there was some animal attached to this one Embark on an action adventure story driven journey And explore a vast magical world caught in the battle between light and dark Say something about your game and say nothing But also like you don't need to say much when this is your key art.
Starting point is 01:16:56 You know what I mean? I don't remember this. This chunky boy. Yeah, I don't remember this. It's the mega evolution of Moose. I know. This seems like an alternate like universe game. I remember this one.
Starting point is 01:17:07 Like in, what was they call in Rick Morty? Interdimensional cable. Yeah. It's like an interdimensional console. Brolicious says, do we get a new need for speed announcement? I don't think so. Yeah, they don't announce those at press conferences anymore. They keep them secret.
Starting point is 01:17:20 Literally just drop them. They dropped them like a week before they come out. like they're ashamed of them yeah like we don't we don't need let anybody know about this Diego review says the first official DCU games revealed and it's Superman I've fallen for this too many times I'm not excited for this wondering if you wore that shirt for a reason
Starting point is 01:17:38 it's brand new and it's we're in the season baby this means we're one month removed from Superman in 10 days but I'll take it I guess technically nine days that's the day that fantastic four comes out right I mean I'm excited for that too and James Gunn said I don't have to fight about it so I'm not going to fight about it Andy you're not going to bait me into this, all right?
Starting point is 01:17:57 Jeff Craddock says, Most Unlikely Prediction, Beyond Good and Evil 2 production update. Is this the year? I don't think it's the year. I also don't think this is the time or place to talk about that. What is?
Starting point is 01:18:10 Jeff Keely comes up to say, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is fucking dead. We killed it. What was the celebrity they tied to it for the creation? Joseph Gordon Levin was like, hey, give me your art and we won't pay you, but you guys want to make music for the game?
Starting point is 01:18:26 Exposed. What do you think Joseph Gordon Leavitt thinks about it right now? He doesn't think a goddamn thing about it. He's like, remember that one time I was on stage to talk about Beyond Caneval Team? Did I dream that? I wonder if that happened. Amando says, with Ubisoft's cryptic social media posts the other day showing a still of Sam Fisher, do you think we'll get a gameplay or trailer update at the Splinter Cell remake?
Starting point is 01:18:47 That is a chance. They have been talking about it and it has been weird. There's been buzzes of Splinter Cell. But I feel like every time we start getting into this summer game fest, summer fame season, like the rumors start and like anytime anything happens is like could it be so i don't think it's likely but it's possible anything's possible yeah uh dean brown says ken levin turns up to show off a new judas gameplay the trailer announcing it finally releases this november it's about time surely right maybe it doesn't feel like it's this year when was it that like lucy went and saw that
Starting point is 01:19:19 that was like a year ago yeah that was early or mid to early last year i remember even then they were very not like they were framing this is like this isn't even a preview this is like oh like like it's not even close bro sounding like it's alpha yeah I will say that Judas is a game that I put in the exact same class of conversations we've had that include Wonder Woman
Starting point is 01:19:39 and Black Panther so take you know take what you will do that what you will like we've seen much more Judas than we have of Wonder Woman I know but still I'm just saying in terms of like when we are prepping the predictions for these shows like when we don't do it the everyone bring
Starting point is 01:19:55 when we do it the way of just like here's a list of all the things those games were always next to each other just saying like those are the games of like it could be there but it also could be dead I think for me the thing with Judas that gives you a bit more faith in it is that like I understand at least I've heard the vision from them right like when they had the friends per second podcast and Ryan McCaffrey and I think it was Jeff come through and play it and talk about it when I listen to all those podcasts I was like okay this is a real game like this sounds like you were trying to do something here they're essentially trying to make like a rogulight type experience right but out of a biot shock mold
Starting point is 01:20:27 and hearing them talk about I'm like okay I kind of I believe that this exists I think now it's just the thing of I'm just waiting to see it one more time before I really believe that it's gonna come out do you think he played Dead Loop and was like fuck all these shit we had all these ideas in the goddamn
Starting point is 01:20:43 gotta go back to the drawing board Apple's dude says James Gunn comes out to announce the first DC Studios game amid all the bad WB game news what do you think Greg no I mean I you know I fucking die, of course, but no, that's not going to happen. Don't worry about that. CJ splits on says Rocket Night.
Starting point is 01:21:03 I don't think so. The Rocket League's sequel? Like the Shovel Night's Rocket Night? Super Nintendo little like, yeah, little rat. Yeah, a little rat. Yeah, what was he?
Starting point is 01:21:12 What animal was he? Can you look at Rocket Night? If I love that, CJ splits on Superchats Rocket Night question mark, and then underneath the Super Chats immediately split your cell as if it's almost like he made a typo. Like he wanted to write Splitters on. He wrote Rocket Night. It's like, oh, fuck, no.
Starting point is 01:21:27 Go, go there. I always love Rocking Nights look. So cool looking. This is not what I was thinking about. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I love. Who were you thinking about? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:21:34 I was just making up games, man. Hell yeah, man. Shout to Rockin' Night. People in chat bringing up Carl Urban for Mortal Kombat trailer. That could make a lot sense. Oh, that would be sick. That's like, sounds like time. Because the movie's coming out in October, I think.
Starting point is 01:21:49 Yeah, getting a trailer. Yeah. Then Danny in the middle says, where's Wolf Among Us Season 2? Never happened. Don't worry about it. Anthony Adam says, I'm late to the party. Do you guys predict Half-Life 3 in any capacity? The rumor is announcement is imminent.
Starting point is 01:22:04 That's another one like the Splinter Cell, but I think there's a lot more smoke with this. Like, predicting Half-Life 3 at an event is the dumbest, silliest thing you could possibly do. But Alex was the thing that existed. The Steam deck is finding success. Steam is in a very different place. I think it's inevitable that we get Half-Life 3,
Starting point is 01:22:20 and I think it's time, baby. Holy shit. I think it's time I've known what's going to be at this event. I was a summer Game Fest, even though I know Jeff, you know, has had gigantic announcements at this thing and, like, he paints it as one of his main events. For some reason, summer game fest doesn't feel big enough for Half-Life-3. I mean, I agree.
Starting point is 01:22:35 But I also don't know what is big enough for Half-Life 3. I mean, are you guys with me, though, that like Half-Life 3 feels more real than ever right now? Yeah, 100%. I think that, do we think that could be one that they just post on their own? 100%. Yeah. Because, like, what was the Mike's game of the year last year that wasn't even officially announced by Steam, Andy?
Starting point is 01:22:57 Deadlocked. Deadlocked. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They didn't even have to fucking, like, post, like, even officially announced that game, and that game's fucking huge or was at the time. You put that on the front page of every Steam.
Starting point is 01:23:08 Yeah. Like, as soon as you open up Steam, it's like the big splash, right? Like, I feel like you, as Valve, you create a showcase. Yeah. My only thing against that, though, is I feel like, while there are exceptions to, like, how they do things, Steam and Valve have shown that they like partnering up with people and, like, at least playing nice and being on.
Starting point is 01:23:27 stage. Like even remembering back at the PlayStation E3 press conference, and I think 2010, when game came out and announced like Portal 2 was coming to the PlayStation 5, like, obviously very different time. But I would imagine Steam wants to position themselves with everyone else, as opposed to against everyone else. So I wouldn't be surprised if they play nice with Jeff on purpose to like kind of use that stage and kind of like get Steam to be even more of a household name than it already is. Because like they're in such a great place right now. Do they get Gabe new ball gave new law off the couch?
Starting point is 01:23:59 For half-life probably, right? That's the case. He has to. That's the time. And Jeff and him, they have a relationship. They do. I do not think it's impossible that Gabe comes out on this stage. That would be crazy. On November 21st, 2019, at 10.01 a.m., Valve announced Half-Life Alex on Twitter.
Starting point is 01:24:17 They just said return to Half-Life in March 2020. Pre-purchased now on Steam. Yeah, but that's a V, like, that's a, like. But, like, that was still the first half-life game, new in decades or a decade and a half or something right but like it's still not half life three I know the game was amazing
Starting point is 01:24:34 I know everybody that loved it or that played it loved it but to me this is them knowing we are we cannot show off or reveal this game at a big ass showcase because people are going to go fucking VR what
Starting point is 01:24:49 this isn't what we want so like this makes sense for this sort of announcement they announce it the way blessed talking about God of War, the grease game. Yeah, I think it, I think for three, I don't know if it's just a press release or an email. I think it's a big, big deal. And then the final one here, Ced Jess Bliss and says Jetset Radio or Sega Games. I think that's a lot.
Starting point is 01:25:15 I think jet set radio and crazy tax. Yeah. I think we see them. You got a good one with that neck. You know what I'm talking about? Oh, you give me some crazy tax. We've got to have some fun over here. That's all true, everybody.
Starting point is 01:25:26 Thank you for hanging out with us today for this predictions episode for Summer Game Fest tomorrow. We will be predicting the Xbox showcase and who the fuck knows? A PlayStation event might get announced. We'll predict that too at some point somewhere. I like the way you're looking at me. Crazy text, man. I get it going. You kidding me right now?
Starting point is 01:25:42 We're not to do the kind of funny podcast. Clearly Greg has an energy to him. So stay tuned. Watch us live on Twitch or YouTube. If you're on YouTube, make the jump over to the different link. If you're on Twitch, stay right where your ass is. Until next time, love y'all. Goodbye.
Starting point is 01:25:55 You can drink a Coke? Not yet.
