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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.

Summer Game Fest, Keeley Showcase
predictions. Let us know what you

prediction. Little housekeeping for you, like I was
saying, we're throwing a Switch 2 launch party
on Wednesday, going into Thursday morning.
Tune in as we pick up, unbox,
and play our Switch 2s for the very first time.
We don't know exactly when this is starting,
yet, but assume around 7 or 8 p.m. Pacific time, right?
100%. Yeah, it's either going to be right probably before 8 o'clock or right before 9 o'clock.
Yeah. 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.
Let's like stand out, dude. Show up, show out. You had games daily already after this games cast
is going to be a banger episode of the KF podcast. Then after that is going to be a,
a solo Andy stream playing a little Eldon Ring NightRate unless people join him.
Who knows?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
producers. Carl Jake.
Is that really love?
of everyone.
Carl Jacobs,
a megabuster
and Delaney Twining.
Thank you so very,
very much.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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,
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
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
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?
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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
$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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
remake had its final
song
when you face Sephyroth
was called
One Winged Angel Rebirth.
Right.
Rebirth was then called
Rebirth.
Rebirth's big song
ended with,
there was two,
which makes it complicated.
One winged angel
reborn.
Oh shit.
And Ares theme
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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?
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,
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
possible another dimension there you're right

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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
A screen as big as your wall.
Instant plug-in play with all of your devices via USBC.
Built-in audio with sound by Bose.
Anchoring your screen anywhere in space.
It's awesome.
It just works.
Zero latency at 1080P full HD.
These are what make X-Real 1 a must-have.
And we hear X-Ril 1 Pro is coming soon with an even bigger virtual screen.
Hit our link below to get your X-Real glasses today.
There's nothing better than when,
sponsor of Kind of Funny is something that we are legitimately obsessed with.
And that is exactly the case here with Xreal.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
Yeah.
Demon of hatred.
Bless.
Is this the final prediction?
No.
Yeah.
It's a second list.
Oh, really?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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
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,
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
I mean, that's probably not happening for a while.
Sonsa.
I'm doing the little thing.
He speaks out of Saturday
Thank you
Wolf Among Us too
I mean
I think that's a 50-50 shot right
At a Jeff thing
There's always a chance
I don't think it's ready
I don't think it's ready
And then Play-Dad's next game
It's been a while
It has been a while
Yeah
I mean what's up with that team
They're just everywhere
I make another thing
I was gonna say
I feel like every single time
I hear from Play-Ded
is from another studio
We're like
Oh we left and made Cuckoon
We left and made
Summerville
Somerville
Somerville
We always blank on the name

I see weiner says Tim last week
You said that James's email was baseball guy, 2010 or something.
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.
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.

thing. PlayStation Showcase.

Sir Chadwin says Anthony Mackey will be there
to announce Twist and Metal Season 2 trailer
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?
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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?
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
You can drink a Coke?
Not yet.
