What's up and welcome back to the Kind of Funny Games cast for Monday, December 9th, 2024. Of course, I'm your host, Tim Getty. I'm joined today by blessing at E.O.EA Jr. Good day, Tim. Greg Miller. And returning from New York, the engaged one, Roger Percorney. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I brought bagels. I brought bagels. They're frozen, but they, and don't listen to Nick. They defrosted just fine and then tastes great. Nick is very anti-defrosting. I've learned. Yeah. Yeah. Anytime that, I mean, this came up with the pizzas recently from BJ's. Oh, yeah.

He's a huge problem. Now here's my thing. I'm with Nick. Well, you don't like anything in the freezer. You're both just too dumb to understand how to properly freeze and freezing defraud. And I put it in. No, I know, but then it always tastes weird. Always taste weird. Not true. Every single time. Go have one of those bagels

right now and tell me it tastes weird. I got an anti-freezer agenda. Going to be real. You're like wasting food. You and G. just laughing as you pour food to the streets. She freezes things for fucking ever. And then I have to, I'm like, great. now my shit tastes like dog food because our dog food's in the freezer. Bless. Well, that seems like a personal issue. Just put loose dog food and loose bagels in there.

No bags, no tougherware. Seeps through. I'm telling you guys, this is the kind of funny games cast each and every weekday. We get together to talk about video games, reviewing them, previewing them, predicting the game awards. Of course, we're going to be here doing that. And that's exactly what we're doing today.

If you have any predictions for announcements at the game awards, please super chat them in. We would love to talk about them here. This remember is the announcements predictions episode. How come he gets to ask people like the audience for predictions?

Well, he's not going to steal them. But we don't know that. He has access to the super chat. He has his lie. We all have access to the super chats, which is like fair because then we can call them out on. Not all of us have. access or pay attention to

Twitch.tv.tv. Blessing Jr. where you're asking specifically... Ladies gentlemen and NB. If you didn't see kind of funny games daily, you miss, mainly just blessing and Barrett throw me under the fucking bus for Indiana Jones. But more

importantly, you, because Rodgers was right there with me. That's what I did see. More importantly, you missed. Blessing just admit that I just, I started, I started Twitch and I say, what do you guys want to think is going to happen to the game worth? Then he comes in here with his nice glasses and new coat and things you can just say I already had predictions laid out.

Did you change any of the next? You had concepts of a prediction. I actually didn't change any of them. I didn't write down other stuff that I was like, ooh, I can build on this. But it was more so me doing research. That's the thing. We never outlawed research for predictions.

We might have to. Research media. Do your own research. You know what I mean? You're going to the dot combs and Google. So what? Like, you're not saying. What does research?

Balls 74 in chat? What should I predict? No, no, no, no. What does research, what constitutes is research to you? Is reading your fucking fingers and going, bam, bam, bam, bam. Is reading, is reading? Is it's a reading. What happened last year at the game awards?

You think about that? Maybe you come out, you slamma, jamma, Jordan Peel one like last year. Do you read articles? Are you like, oh, man, let me see what people are out on the street saying? Because that's all I did. My chats are part of the streets. It's all people. We're all creating content together.

Don't try to make this a unification between them and us. You cheated and you know it's it. That's not cheating. We never had rules. We never set the rules. I'm with blessed that it's allowed. I don't look at the audience to be like, give me predictions. It's allowed.

And it's also, it's not like, I'm sitting here like, oh yeah, okay, you said this. Oh, yeah, for sure, I'm gonna write that down. So you're not even crediting them. No, exactly. No, you're cheating and not credited me. We all know. We're working with Gronk over here, where the fuck his name is for Max.

When was the last time anybody in our chat? Baby Gronk? Okay. The last time anybody in our chat said something were like, oh, that's a good point. You think about that? They're starting on you. No. He's turning on you.

No, listen, you know, I appreciate your audience. reason why we're able to do it with you, but they don't know what they're talking about. Come on. I love how you're trying it. You're doubling down in every way to make this bad for you. Plus, you have no one on your side now. I've been watching a lot of wrestling.

Okay. Let me tell you. This is Xavier Woods' heel turn. Oh, yes. And so I'm watching, I'm like, maybe I'll do that. Maybe all be a heel to our audience. It's working. It's got me this far.

You know what I mean? They love the abuse. He's sick little freaks. He calls us troglody. Let's call ourselves trongs from now. That'll get them. We're an 11-person business, everybody. We're all about live talk shows.

We just had an awesome episode of Games Daily that was Bless and Raj talking about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. And how everyone is really enjoying it out there. So you can check that out if you want. After this, we got a Gregway that's going to be Greg talking about what it's like being the most controversial game reviewer of 2020. The bad boy of games journalism is here, everybody. Jeff Grubbs getting a squirley. God damn, I fucked that. Squirrely.

You're too excited to me back. And I got a dog in my lap. And he just keeps shaking. You look like an 80's movie high school bully right now in the jacket. But you got a dog, though. No one can be mad at that. Like people call you a Rex. Rex?

Rex. Because that's like a bully name. Oh, okay. What's up? We get, we don't know who's a king of this? We go to that kangar merit. God, this is supposed to be like a standout episode for us. We're crushing it so far.

People are going to come to this like what are the kind of funny guys saying? because they need to steal our predictions for their podcast. Exactly. Which are already stolen. Anyways. After this, we have Mike and Nick playing Indiana Jones in the Great Circle on the stream. And then you can get the kind of funny podcast later this afternoon and tomorrow on YouTube podcast services.

If you're not a kind of funny member. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Delaney Twyny and Carl Jacobs. Today we're brought to you by Imperial and ORAFraM's, but we'll tell you about those later. We're getting into it. The topic of the show. Tots, dots, dots, dots, dots, dots. Our Game Awards, official predictions of announcements for 2024 to set the stage here, Jeff Keely's been real quiet, suspiciously quiet.

Normally around the game awards, a lot more tweets, a lot more like confirming what will be there, what won't be there. A little bit less of that this year. Just putting that out there for everybody. Meanwhile, Andy Robinson out here saying, expecting a very big game awards next week, fire up the hype train. Wow. That gets everybody in a tizzy.

So combining those things, do with that what you will. Hyper responsibly, everybody, unless you're me. Jesus Christ. And then also today, I was confirmed that Mafia, the old country, will be at Game Wars. So one potential surprise thing. I'm excited for that. I know, yeah, you're fucking lose. But that would have been something that I feel like we could have predicted.

Yeah. Yeah. That might be on our list. Might have been one of the things I was really. Same thing for the Borderlands 4 thing, right? Yeah. Exactly. Borderlands 4 as well.

So, yeah. So there are two known quantities that I feel like are in the realm of the things that we're like that's up the alley of bliss. You know, somebody else said it now he can iterate on it. But Portland's 4 trailer is going to be there and clap trap will be in a minute. But also, I feel we can make predictions around those things. Like not lame ones. Not clap time.

I could be like, what if I would be like, oh, bad boys. I'm a lot I mean. I'm from New York. Squirrelies for everybody. Squirrelers. I can say that Borderlands 4 is going to come out April 22nd as a prediction. Yes. I'm not going to do that.

No, I'm not going to do that. Would you hear that? That's a good prediction. So here's what we're going to do. It's a Monday. Everybody. Like I was saying, if you want to get our predictions of the winners of the game awards, we did a episode where we went through every single category.

So you can check that out from a couple weeks ago on the kind of funny gamescast feeds. But this is for announcements. What we're going to do is each one of us at this table has five predictions that we have prepared. We are going to go one by one, and then we're just going to go back and forth along this table. Do we start with me, or do we start with Raj? Maybe you start with me.

You guys are right Miller. The guy who knocked it out of the guard. Everyone said, Jordan Peel, that'd be like Leonardo. She showed up on stage, but what happened when I predicted it, he came out, Bing, bong, Bing, Bong, Bing, Fong. Baird, I want a straw bowl. What I don't want is to have to figure out back and forth, because I'm gonna get lost if we do that.

So we have to just go back and back and forth this way. My favorite thing about this company, make it easy for Tim. But we're not doing the snake draft shit. So that means like you guys are going to be able to like get back quicker. Put me in. Oh, I don't like the system. What fucking system do you want? Blessing, I just came back for New York.

Get four coins, flip them all. Okay. And we get the average. And then a snake draft. Yeah. Because then like if Roger goes first, I'm going third. What is the head to tilt for? What is that for?

It's other Roger. Oh, okay, gotcha. You want to do it? Whatever. I do not care. I was trying to make this easy. What, what do we want to do here? Oh, the fun's over.

We're having a great time, but now he's all mad because he stayed up to 3 a.m. What the fuck do you want to do? We can just do this. We just do this. We don't know what that means. My child are all the yelling. I don't like it.

God, man. Put me in. I want to go. I want to go before Raj. So I think Tim should go and it should go that way. I don't, wait, I want to go before Tim, so I want Raj to go. No, this makes a point. This makes perfect sense.

Flip the guy. I go, I go, Tim goes, you go. No, no, no, no, I want to go before. I'm tails your heads. Me and Tim has the same first prediction, I guarantee it. So I want to get there first. Let's got right there with it. Let's go.

Okay, so what is this, Raj? You said, I'm tails and I want, if I'm, if the tails I go, if it's head, you go. Flip it bear. On tails. Oh, got a noise, too. But damn. Yes. You could have just said I go first.

You know what I mean? We could have made this work. I'm going first. Tim's going first. With the first prediction of the kind of funny Game Awards 24 prediction episode, we welcome to the stage. Timothy, Robert Geddes. In 2017,

from software. Okay. Dropped a, quote, new project teaser featuring the words, quote, shadows die twice at the game awards. Two years later, that game would win Game of the Year at the Game Awards under the title, Sekiro. Shadows die twice.

At 2024, at the game awards, we will get a teaser for From Software's next game. We will not get a title for it. It'll just be a tease that it is a new game. It'll end up not being a sequel to a previous

from software game awards part of this is a prediction? I'm just adding. Okay, thank you. For fun. Just giving you a content there. But we will get the announcement of From Software's next game and it's going to be something new. And it's just going to be the little tease there. Okay. Do you think they'll say the genre?

Do you think that Jeff Keely afterwards would be like not a Souls game? No, no. I think it's a Souls game. I think it's like there's Bloodborn. There's Sekaro. There's the Dark Souls games, Demon Souls, part of that, whatever. It's going to be something like that.

It's going to be Jeff being like, that's right, a new game in the lineage. I don't know why that's my Jeff Keely. That's good. It wasn't bad, actually. Yeah, a new game in the lineage of From Software's, you know, pivotal RPG, pivotal action RPG, Souls, look forward to it. I showed off there,

but he's going to say something along those lines. Sure, sure, sure, sure. Interesting. What do you think, Blas? I like it. I didn't have it written down because it's one of those things that sounds too good to be true.

And I'm, I've not let Andy Robinson get into my head. Like, I'm, I'm going to keep the man out. I'm going into this with, I guess not tempered expectations, but like just with normal expectations. Because I think Game Awards usually

is pretty exciting. Like I looked at last year's Game Awards for all the things that were announced there. And last year's Game Awards, for announcements was really good. Like a lot of cool things. We got like that whole Sega slate of games coming out.

Like we got a lot of cool shit. And so I expect we're going to get a similar level of like cool shit. The from software thing, I think the only thing about it is I feel like we've heard zero rumblings. So that's my thing though is that I, for all my predictions, I tried doing my homework.

And by that I don't like some, you know? I tried like, I tried backing it up with the reasoning of like what if there is the history of this potentially happening. And yeah, I mean, Sekiro was announced at game awards. And I do think that that type of announcement, like,

you've been like, I don't know if that's too big. I don't think it is. I don't think that it would be announced anywhere but a Keeley event at this point. When we look at how these games have been announced or even like updated the last couple of years, they seem to be tied to the Keeley events. From software likes these events. Ellen Ring had that huge trailer at game, not game awards, but at Summer Game Fest. Yeah.

So I think that if we're going to get a game, it'd be here. and I feel like it's time, right? Like having Armored Corps happened last year, having the DLC for Eldon Ring, I think announcing the next title, it's time. I think the biggest thing for me is, is it going to be a new title

or is it going to be a sequel to something? My heart, and like this is based off nothing, of course, right? But like, I just don't think, it's a soul's game. Like, I don't know, I feel like they're going to do something weird.

I don't know things to be that weird, but I think it's going to be, like, traditional souls like things. That's what Arbor Corps was recently, though. Yeah, that's why I'm like, I think it has to be a Souls game. Like whatever they're doing next. I think Armored Core was their divergeness.

And then they had the big DLC, right? Which like, you know, almost feels like a main game type release. But I still think that now we're due for an announcement of what is the next main thing for from software when you're talking about SoulsLikes. But I still, I think the other thing for me where I'm not 100% there, although I think there's a, you're right, I think there's a strong chance. I'm not 100% there because it feels like we just got a lot from Software. It feels like they just gave us their insomniac run of back to back to back to back to back

thing and I think there has to be some kind of like breather, some kind of space where it is all right, we're going back, we're going, we're crawling back into our cave to cook some more. But haven't we always had that? Like that's the thing about From Stop is like when we start looking like maybe not as much as right now, but they have a bigger

more teams and bigger teams than they've ever had. I feel like they've been consistent since a long time at this point. So. That's fair. I don't know. I saw Jason and Chad said Metal Wolf Chaos 2. Oh, I would cry. Oh my God. I mean, that's my dream. That's my dream scenario right there.

They're just like, hey, we have the assets. We have some robots. Let's take two people. Let's make this game. They're making another Derisinae for PSVR too. Oh. Nobody knows. I'm talking about that.

Plus, I'm surprised it and go with, I think, what is even more likely, which is Resident Evil 9 gets revealed. Wow. You're insane. You think so? You're insane. I think it gets revealed. They have a history with PlayStation.

They do, but hey, like, they also have a history of coming out way more often than like I feel like they've hit recently, right? Like we've gotten a gap now of not having a main Resoney Evil release, I guess since Resident Evil 4, that feels a bit longer than usual. I feel like usually by now we have an announcement. I think that might mean that they're

just off cycle with it. And when's the next PlayStation Showcase? Once the next PlayStation State of Play, we don't know. But I don't think that's going to, like, if Capcom is ready to talk about Resident Evil, I think they're going to talk about Reson Evil, whether it's going to be at a state of play or at like a Game Awards type thing. And I think a Game Awards could fit the bill. I'm saying that we're going to get a tone setter trailer. I think we're

going to get the setting. I don't have any predictions as far as setting, but I think we're going to get a setting. I think you're going to get one of the main villains, the Lady Demetrisque of this game. I think we get that reveal. And I think they announce it for 2025. I think 2025 is the release year. I like that. The more I think about it, the more I'm like, oh, wait, he does have the Capcom connection, right? I mean, like, Wilds was the ending of Game Fest, right? So I could see that. I'm leaning more towards him, though, of like, they have that place. connection, but, you know, this is the time to do it. The thing is, Resident Evil 9 will be announced, I think, fairly soon.

And I do think the 2025, that is what we're looking at and talking about. But, I mean, track, correct me if I'm wrong, like, I don't think a Resident Evil thing has ever happened at a Keely event. And they always happen. It's either State of Plays or showcases for the last. Or even E3 press conferences. Exactly. I mean, Resident Evil 2 remake was a Sony E3 conference, right?

And then since then it has been state of plays or PlayStation showcases. So yeah. I think I'm also going off of the idea of if it is 2025, this feels like the last chance to do it. Unless there's a state of play that we don't know about that might happen. But if it's 2025, I feel like you want to announce it like before this year ends. That's the vibe. Because I feel like we usually don't get a announced and released Resident Evil in the same year either, do we? Yes, we do.

I mean, yeah, well, I mean, maybe not the same year, but within months, right? like thinking about Resident Evil 2 coming out or sorry, 3 was announced in December and came out in like March. Oh. You know what I mean? Like tight.

Yeah. Or remake too, right? Wasn't that announced the beginning of the year and then came out towards the end of the year? No, four came out like in spring. Oh, okay. But even then the, but from announcement to release, like we're talking less than a year.

I'm pretty sure for every Resident Evil in the last 10 years. Yeah. But I guess I'm still even thinking of like not even that is going to take more than 12 months. I'm just talking about like the calendar year. of hey like going into next year say the next Resident Evil is in the fall 2025 I still think that like announcing it at the end of

2024 it sets sets you up well as far as like where we're at with Resident Evil then maybe you can have a more full reveal at a state of play or showcase. There's also Monster Nile wilds that I don't necessarily think Capcom cares about like stepping on themselves with because they are different enough in the past they have talked about Monster and Resident Evil like kind of in tandem but

that's fair. Yeah. I don't want to see I think there's a possibility, but I'm not buying it. Fair enough. Greg Miller. Hello, Tim. Hello. How are you? Fantastic.

You know, on this episode, it's kind of our last chance to pat me on the back and congratulate me on the greatest game award predictions of all time. Bear it roll of the footage. Let them see if they don't know. If these people who are watching or listening don't know, they need to understand that I did the impossible last year on this very show when Andy was still on it. God rest his soul. Sorry, you didn't tag me in this.

I just had an asset. Sorry, it's just the thing about the Kajima predictions. Sorry, I thought you I had that open, sorry. I didn't get that notification. That's what he was working on, this second project from last year, right? Going to be horror.

We've all wanted a horror game for Hideo Kijima. It's in association with Jordan Peel. Oh, shit. Oh. Oh. God, this guy's bringing it. I was good.

Oh, wait, wait. Oh, wait. Oh, wait. Greg nailed it. Oh, my God. Everyone. Please welcome Jordan Peel. How the fucking Greg go?

I forgot about that. Incredible stuff. I gotta give it to you, Greg. Like, that legitimately is the greatest video game showcase prediction of all time. Yeah. Like, because it's, to me, it's kind of perfect. Where you hear it and you're like, that makes sense. But it's not coming from anywhere that's just like the most obvious thing in the world.

And it happened. and then the camera cut to you. There's still in the back of my mind, I'm like, you knew something. He paid somebody. All I knew, all I knew is what I've talked about a million times, is that I knew the camera was on the person to my left,

which was George from Bob Agenda. And then I screamed loud, so they cut to me, they flipped the camera to me just in time for them to go on there and freak you guys out. But if you thought that was something, uh-oh. Blow it out your asshole, everybody,

because I've got a better one for you, all right. And of course I'll be staying in the world of the one, Hideo Cajima. Sorry, Raj. Kajima will, of course, come out to the stage and introduce a new Death Stranding 2 trailer. It will be set to Caroline Polichek's meanwhile.

No. Yes. Yes. I'm sorry. You saw what I did last year. You saw what I did last year. Clearly, it's going to be this year, all right? If that wasn't enough when it ends, of course, Jeff will banter for a bit about like,

oh, you know, you're doing that game. I can't do it, Jeff either. You're doing that. last year he had something to say about this other stuff, right? And he'll say yes. He'll then welcome to the stage, Hunter Schaefer. To talk about, of course, OD, right? Their whole little, the pig runs through the wall, whatever thing they were doing, right? Hunter will come out and, of course, make a joke about being there not to promote a Zelda movie,

but instead to talk about OD. And then they'll show some OD stuff. Wow. No fucking shot. No shot. She is making an original song. She is meeting with not only, he's meeting with not only Caroline, but also Daniel Harle, her producer, they're making

an original thing. I don't think that he's going to use any of her older music. I think in this trailer he will? When the game comes at... Rod, do you think if there's a Death Stranding 2 trailer at the Game Awards, do you think that that song is... No, I've listened to her catalog over this trip thinking about this.

I was like, is there a song here that fits with Death Stranding, that fits with O.D., and I don't think that there's one out of the box that works for either of those trailers. I think it needs to be an official thing that she makes from the ground up to be a main theme. So, I don't so I like where your head's at though. I do too, and I do think that

I think in the game it'll be an original song movie. Yeah. Okay, I like that. I like to put it in the spice because I want the point fives and the point two fives. You know what I mean? I don't want to be the guy just on Twitche,

what do I say? Yeah. I bought a cool jacket, but I have nothing to say. You know what I mean? Tick-ta. I'm an empty jacket. What do I do? You're talking about me?

Is that about me? Roger McCorney. What's your first prediction? It's the 10th anniversary of the game awards. And the one thing that, at least we've been predicting that Jeff has

been chasing has been a certain huge company to show off one of their newest games. Rockstar games logo will show up on screen right next to Remedy because they're going to show off Max Payne 1 and 2 remake.

First full trailer showing off the tone of it with a 2026 release date. This makes a lot of sense from a few angles, right? They just announced FBC which I believe is dated for next year. If not, I'm assuming that game's going to come out next year. They're going to go out there and say, hey, this is what we're working past that to kind of get people that are like, oh, what are they doing with this multiplayer game?

Here's what we're working on. Here's how it looks. The interesting tidbit of it is just like, how does this game look? I believe the main voice actor passed away. If I'm not mistaken, maybe I'm incorrect, but I'm pretty sure. Of Max Payne. Yeah, Max Payne. Yeah. So that's that I'm interested to see how they deal with that. Did he record anything beforehand? Is it just a new voice actor? But either way, I think it's just going to be a teaser of like, hey, this is what the graphics look like. And here's like the official name. I don't think it's going to be called Max Payne 1 and 2 remake. I think it's. could be called something. Maybe just Max Payne. Just call it like that. So, yeah, you will see the Rockstar logo, but it will be mostly Sam Lake coming out on stage showing off Max Payne 1 and 2. Nope. Why not? Rockstar ain't showing up to this thing.

They ain't doing it this way. They ain't... It's not Rockstar. I'm pretty sure Rockstar already forgot this is happening. Yeah, exactly. It's a Remedy project. They put in the Rockstar logo. That's my thing, Roger. I love this. Anarchy if they did that because everybody would pop for GTA and I find out it's MacCain. Like Max Payne being there? I think you start off a remedy and then you show

off. Okay. Or Remedy. Or Remedy. Remedy in association with Rockstar. I mostly did it just for the prediction. I thought it would be funny to get you. To make it make you go left or right. Yeah. But I think it's going to be Max Benmore. I do think that's good.

I think Max Payne's a good poll that I wasn't thinking about. Yeah. I like it. And I do think you can see both logos pop up at the same time, right? Even if it is like Remedy fade off, Rockstar fade off. Like I think this is one of those things where if, and I don't know if this is part of the report or part of like news or if I'm just like projecting. But I feel like Remedy is more passionate about this than Rockstar. I feel like that's why I sit there and I go

Well, what would what would remedy do on their own? You know what I mean? What are they? What are they? Are they ready to show a control two trailer? A teaser. Jesse McFade and talking? Well, my thing is if not here, then where else would they show this off?

Max Payne. I think Rockstar is so weird that they would be like you were just going to put up a rockstar blog post about it. I mean, like who's in control of this, right? Like that's where my head's at, right? Like if remedies in control of this. Then they're going to be like, oh, let's just do Game Awards. And I think they are. Yeah.

I think it's a remedy thing. Yeah, I agree. I can't see Rockstar being, like they're going to be somewhat hands-up. I don't think they're going to be that hands-on as to want to control the marketing of this whatsoever. So I put this in your hands. Do we give Roger the next one,

or do we go to Greg? I thought we'd just go back to you. Well, if it's a snake draft, yeah, we would, Roger would be like. Let's go to me. Let's go back to Tony. Remember, we got to keep it easy for you. We got to keep it easy for you.

Yeah, we got to keep it easy for Tim. You've one mule kick away from living in the zoo next to the oranguttes. All right. Jesus Christ! Claps like a gorilla, treat him like a gorilla. Toss this man a banana. On March 21st, 2022 at 9.35 a.m., C.G. Project Red announced a new Witcher saga,

alongside the announcement of development on Unreal Engine 5 as part of a strategic partnership with Epic Games. Later that day, at 240 p.m. Raddick, our friend and global PR director of CD Project Red tweeted, what we have not announced today is a game called The Witcher 4, a game exclusive to one storefront. It was our initial confirmation of a new saga in the Witcher franchise. Right now, we're not discussing any specifics in terms of story, characters, mechanics, or plot details.

Months later, on October 2nd, during the company's investor call, the studio CEO said, For Polaris, which is the code name for this project, we're preparing technology. This is the first project to be released on the new engine, Unreal Engine 5, so there's need for some extra work to make it all happen. For this project, for sure, we need some extra effort to deliver. He went on to say that the second and third games in this new Witcher trilogy would go much smoother because of the foundation being created now. He then was asked, as the two smoother games would take on average three years to develop, would it be reasonable to ascertain that the next mainline game is more than three years away,

to which he said, yes. Creating a new game alongside a new technology is doing, like what they're doing with Polaris usually takes four or five years, though this won't necessarily be the case this time. That was three years ago. That was three years ago. At the Game Awards, 2024, it will be announced that the next game in the Witcher franchise, the first of this new Witcher saga trilogy of games,

will in fact be titled, The Witcher 4, Polaris. Oh. We're getting that here. Wow. Okay. In trailer form? CG. Something.

Yeah, I think because the last time we got the snow and the little symbol and stuff, I think this time it's... We see the new Witcher or whatever. Something a little bit more. but I do think The Witcher for Polaris is going to be the title of this thing. I don't think we get a date or even a year

or anything like that, but while I don't expect the game to come out next year, I do think knowing CD Project Red and how they like to or how they previously have announced games and titles, like with a bit more of a walk. I mean, they already officially announced the game. But I think starting crystallize it now that Cyberpunk

2077 has its Phantom Liberty out already and all that. I think it's time. I feel like it's too late to take it back. Your hand is already off the chess piece. so you can't move it again. Polaris, you think, is part of the final title? Mm-hmm. I can't see it.

No. That's a terrible... It's interesting, though, because, like, you know, I feel like most code names aren't known to the public, right? The fact that they're saying Polaris is kind of interesting. So I see where you're coming from. I don't see it as, like, a Witcher, like, actual, like, headline or whatever, but... It doesn't feel fantasy enough. It doesn't.

Yeah. Yeah, it feels cyberpunky. But I think, I think that the four, like, they want this to be a new thing, but then also still being in continuation. So that's why I'm just like, there's enough weird shit about it. The Richard fourth meal. That's getting good.

What does a table? Fourth meal. Was that a part of their marketing campaign? Yeah, when you were about three years old. Taco Bell was big on fourth meal, so you go eat it and make it. I love food meal.

And we wonder about like American health. Like the pre-issues we have. I don't tell you where Colorado is, but I can tell you about Taco Bell's campaign. Is that what we're doing? Oh, that's not healthy, man. It was awesome. good for us. It was so sick. People are saying that

Polaris is a space thing, but I need y'all to think a little bit deeper. What do we see in that first trailer? In deep snow. Where's snow? In polar places. I did I did type in Polaris. I like that. That's mine. Bless, what's yours? I mean, Polaris is like a North Star situation.

Yeah. That's why I like it. My prediction, this is one that, like my first prediction, didn't get from chat. This is one that if you go back, if you watch the Vod of my stream, was already written down by the time I started the stream. When we go, Barrett, I'm going to go watch his stream later and also read the chat. All right.

You can watch the stream and never see it. I mean, there comes a point where I bring up my document. This one of the ones I was already in the document. Push-moo, quish-moo. Help, help, help. Back in 2015, a game called Until Dawn released to the public. This is a game from Supermassive Games. It was a hit.

It did a lot of things. It had stars. It was a huge hit. Last year, until Don got a remaster. and at the end of that remaster This is great Is he gonna ask her fixing it They're updating it

They're finally fixing all the bugs But there were things about that remaster That might point To more until dawn More until dawn content There have also been rumors in the last few years About maybe Sony's working on Until Dawn too

I think at Until Dusk God it would be so good If it was called that I think until dawn too or whatever else it might be named But the spiritual successor Until Dawn is going to be announced

It is coming straight from PlayStation it is being developed by Fire Sprite Studios. Oh. Who you know from Horizon Call the Mountain. Then this is where... You know them from that, Tim. Yeah, Horizon Call them. I don't have you know that.

I'm just like, I'm not trying to see if you're... If you're with him on... Yeah, exactly. If you're with him or not on this. Now, I'm interested. These are the stretches that I'm going to take with this one. Sure. All right?

Sure. We get some casting. Whoa. Including at least one of these people. Oh, no. Jenna Ortega Come on Come on

Lily Reinhardt You know her from Riverdale And And or Jacob Lordy Oh You get at least one of those Jacob Lordy's too serious Yeah I know

You don't get a release date or window You just get the game announced Is it Panettae coming back? Oh that's a guess But we don't get that to At game award You don't think she's in that trailer She's like until dawn

You know what I mean? Like, you know what I think about that game? I think about her. She's down to return to things. Oh, Jacob Allorty. Okay. Yeah, from Euphoria. Yeah, of course.

Oh, somebody said no Ella Perna. No. Oh, no. You know what? I'm going to say yes to Hayden Penit. She's in her. She's doing it. All right.

I'm interested in this. Yeah. I like where you're at with the sequel to until dawn. I think it's too early for them to even announce. Well, the movie's coming out. So that's my thing. I thought you were going to say a trailer for the movie. No.

Yes. I mean, I could. movies coming out in April. Yeah, the movie's coming out soon. I just don't think he does the movie thing. He does. Really? Yeah, especially now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've been getting movies. Yeah, like, wasn't Sonic there last year? No. No, but we got the Mario movie first clip there. Yeah, but those are not known quantities. I'm just saying, like, out of the blue, like, we wouldn't get like a watchdog trailer.

We wouldn't get like an Until Dawn trailer. I feel like he would say until Dawn trailer. I think he would say until dawn would fit the bill here. I feel like, hey, the first footage of Until Dawn, right? See, I feel it's the opposite. Well, not opposite. But I think if you had watchdogs, you would say we have a clip from watchdogs in premiering. Until Dawn, I think, is under the radar enough that if it was a one-two punch of, you showed the trailer for this

and then announced the second game or vice versa. Yeah, I was just saying, like, I'm down to make that part of my prediction. I think you would have to, yeah, the trailer for the movie to this. Yeah. Part of your prediction or part of the chat's prediction,

because I pulled up your, uh, Twitch stream less. There it is. There it is. I see the original doc and the Resident Evil and until dawn thing. It's the, it's the,

it's the four are you talking about? I'm fucking just gas. Yeah, no, tag that on to my prediction If we're doing, if we're splitting by, like, decimals or whatever No, Hayden, sadly. You don't think Hayden? No, I don't think she'll be bad. But wasn't she part of the T's?

The end of Until Don won? Like, the remaster? Oh, I didn't even know. I don't even know what the T's was it until the remastered. What was it? Bear, show me the T's. Full spoilers for Until Dawn remastered. I don't even remember.

Yeah, she wasn't. Like, I don't know if it was, like, new, or I think it was maybe cut footage from the original game. There was like a post-credits thing thing, I'm pretty sure. Barrett should get it pulled up. Don't worry about it. Greg, yeah.

What's your second one? Here's the, here it is. Los Angeles, some years later. New after credits ending, it says. It's running in 380p. Oh, Hayden has a dog. A German shepherd. She's got a team.

Creatures. Shout up wrong. Oh, fuck. No, this is totally going to be Hayden Pinsera staring in the new one till dawn. Thank God, because let's get Nashville back into work. You know? Where are all the Nashville people? What about heroes?

What about heroes? It's a great question. Hero Nakamura. Bloody thumb, she ate her thumb. Oh. He's been scratching herself by Winnebago. Ew. Ew.

Ew. The blood's gonna form a two, or until dawn two. Thanks in some clarification. Just so you know. Huh. Yeah. That's cool. He's back, baby. That's pretty on the nose. That should be in there.

I take some of it back. I'm sorry. I hope she brings some of her Nashville cast members. Charles Aston, he'd be great in this. You know what I mean? Yeah. Connie Booth, let's go. What are we afraid of? Let's make it happen.

All right. You want some predictions? Jacob already. Yes. Think about it. No, I'm not. I mean, Jenna, that's a great, that's a great pick, right? Anyways, I digress.

This is a simple one. I'll allow Tim to throw it out and I can give you another one if you want. But this is a prediction for sure of what you'll see there. Please welcome to the game awards, the star of Indiana Jones in the great circle, Troy Baker, and the star of the Indiana. Indiana Jones films franchise, Harrison Ford. Oh, I'll definitely let you keep that. Thank you. Thank you very much.

I wasn't sure if that was too. So what's the, I mean, that's kind of wild. I think that would come out to present an award and also promote that there's an Indiana Jones thing. I almost put it in there, but I've heard about, I've almost put it in there, but I've heard about the reshoots or whatever, so I wasn't sure if they're actually all in on and Brave New World. I could see there being a promotion of Brave New World as well.

What do you mean? I've seen like Reddit threads and tweets are like, oh, they showed it and it did even worse, so now they're reshooting more stuff for Brave New World. Well, the movie's still coming out, February. So I mean, they're in their time, period. Is it? 100%. You know what I mean?

Yeah, 100%. Things happen out there, all right? Things fall apart. The book we all had to read this. That would be awesome if it's like, if it's like Troy Baker from Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford from Shrieking season two. Yeah, I almost, yeah, I almost wrote the SAR of the Indiana Jones film franchise and the upcoming Captain America, Breaking the World, Harrison Ford.

I feel like that. I'll let you, I'll let definitely let you that because I do not think that. I think that's a, it could. It would happen, but like, that's a stretch. You know what I mean? Harrison being there. Harrison's just weird. Yes, but Harrison loves money.

He does. Harrison loves money. He does. He does. He's making things like this. And when they do that, they put those things in the contract. They're like, you have to show up and do certain things. And I feel like this is one that they would burn.

And I feel like Bethes has the money to burn. And it's doing well. You know what I mean? Like, let's get out there and remind that. This will be in one of those moments of like, that is all in entertainment weekly, right? Like whatever of that he showed up. So I think it's enough pop culture crossover that promotes. promotes the game and the movie if they need to.

I don't know if Marvel has to. I give it a 50%. If Brave New World wasn't a thing and Harrison Ford wasn't in it, I'd be like, there's not a fucking chance. But I think this is like, oh yeah, there's. Do you think, because I almost teased, or I shouldn't say teased. I tinkered with putting in a show a clip from Brave New World or something like that or a trailer from Brave New World and make it make sense that way. So Marvel fit, put the bill a bit too. I can see them do that too. Yeah, yeah. My only wrinkle, which I think,

I guess we're early, right, because it's Monday, Thursday's Game Wars is, you know, usually Jeff is pretty vocal about who's going to be there. I think if Harrison Ford was going to be there, he'll be vocal about it. But I think maybe that comes on Wednesday. Is that an Al Pacino surprise? Yeah, he was. I just don't see. Remember when he had to stand there, 18 minutes while Christopher was.

Awesome. I just don't see them getting Harrison Ford out the house. Again, money. But it's money. But like Greg's point about the marketing cycle. Like he has agreements. That's true. You're right.

You're right. Yeah. Greg, you built a case there. I like that. I appreciate it. Roger. there's a lot of places I can go here, but we're going for the exciting one,

so I'll go for it. I know that I'm probably going to steal a bunch of y'alls, but it's finally time. Iowa Interactive is coming out with 007. We're going to see it. We're going to see a trailer. Pierce Bros. That's where it gets hazy in my vision, right?

Like, is it just a brand new, 007? Is it just kind of... Yeah, exactly. Is it a generic white guy? We're just like, yeah, that's James Bond, right? Or are we actually going for one of the likenesses of one of them? I don't know, but... They said it's like a origin of the story.

story, James Bond's Yeah, so I'm assuming it's going to be, you know, avoid... If that's the case, Ben Starr and or Rahul Coli. Both. Fused them into one. Holy shit. Yeah, I...

Actually, yeah, you know what? Fuck Ben Starr. Rahul Coli. That's one. I mean... I want a new bond. Yeah, me too. I want a game version bond that we can be like,

hey, this is our bond. This is our bond. Like, we have our Spider-Man, right? This is our bond. And I think that it's imperative for this one to have at least a little bit of gameplay. Like, I want to see a moment. Like, I want to see, like, hey, you're doing the stealth thing.

you guys, hey, we're Iowa interactive, and we can do shooting. Like, we can actually do, I don't know if it's, is it confirmed third person or first person? I don't think they've confirmed anything. I want it. I need to see. I need to see gameplay to see, to know for fact, is it third person, is it first person? On the tabletop RPG. That'd be sick. But yeah, I love that. I think it's going to be it.

I think it's a place to do it. Okay. I like that. That's good. That'd be exciting. I'd love to see with that or hear about that or anything like that. Because it is interesting. Like, thinking back on the James Bond games, obviously we had a lot with Pierce Browson and that's like the of it, whether it was, you know, once based on movies like Golden Eye or actual video games that were like new stories just using him. There was like four or five of those.

But then there was from Russia with love with Sean Connery in 2005. I don't forget. And then there was 2007 legends in 2012 that had kind of like all of them. Yeah, but it was specifically. Daniel Craig was like the main one. Well, no, it was him. And then they like recasted him as like the older ones. Like that was the thing.

It was like hand through time. Which is like, holy shit. Disturbing. I forgot about that. I want a new bond. I like where. We all's heads out with that one. It's about time.

Rahul Coley, take you to the bank. Man, that would be really sick. The problem is that Rahul never shuts up about stuff, so he would have already been, hey, blokes, look, right? You don't know, I agree? It's like he's in the room, right?

He's having a stroke, yeah. All right, everybody. We'll be right back with more of our predictions. After a work for our sponsors. This episode is brought to you by Imperial.

We can all pretend to be Andy. Yeah. In 2018, Nintendo's Reggie Fisema, Xbox's Phil Spencer, and PlayStation Sean Layden shared the stage to kick up the game awards, resulting in one of the most iconic onstage moments in the history of us fucking nerds watching video games showcases, press conferences, or award shows.

In 2024, we're celebrating not just 10 years of the game awards, but also 10 years since Ellen DeGeneres took the internet breaking Oscar selfie at the 2014 Academy Awards,

which looking back on it now features multiple absolutely horrible people. Jeff Keely will try to create a bigger moment. What exactly will this moment be? That's the thing. If we knew what it was, it wouldn't hit us hard.

My prediction is that as a general consensus, We will view whatever he pulls off as bigger than the 2018 moment, but not as big as Ellen's reportedly $20 million Samsung Galaxy Note 3 sponsorship. I love this. I love this. I love how beautifully written that was. Thank you.

Thank you. I don't know what it could be. I start thinking and that's where, like, you know, setting the expectations because it needs to have that like, oh my God, I can't believe they're doing this to it. That like, if we could believe they're doing it, it doesn't hit the same. But if they can get me a motto up there, that'd be big. you know what he mean have him stand there with with

I don't know Ellen you know what I mean yeah I don't know we have to have like the creator of Mario the creator of this yeah exactly yeah the creator of Sonic we got out of jail

yeah that's the thing it's just like I know obviously like getting Nintendo Xbox PlayStation like that means so much and like that was like such a moment where there were defined faces at that point that we just don't necessarily have at this point

like getting Doug Bowser up there I don't think has the same way but I do think like Like the creators, like what Roger's saying, like get people that I can't believe they're all together. This is crazy. Let's celebrate 10 years of the game awards. Like that could be freaking same. He can be your prediction again in like one sentence.

It's he's going to try to have a big onstage moment of people on stage. Is that not crazy? That's every that's the game awards. Yeah. How's like the prediction? The Reggie Phil. Sorry. Other thing.

Part of my prediction here, Bless, to remedy what you're saying here is that we as a general consensus, we will view that moment as bigger than that moment. okay that's that's where i'm like adding some shit there because like that's big statements like that that is something that if we were to talk about like what were the craziest biggest things to happen on stage we talk about that and i think it'll i just don't feel like it's concrete enough of like something big is going to happen on stage at the game awards we will have a consensus we will have a consensus like that one guy going up with the elder ring game of the year no that's not it that's not what i'm talking about i'm talking about like a moment of like where you're gathering people on stage as like that almost like celebrates the

history of uh gaming okay similar to that uh thing i think it'll be jeff grab and mike monotti on stage finally together manotti with his feet out wearing a robocop guy but it's like what i'm saying is like it needs to be something of that we're like i can't believe this group of people is on stage together okay okay i like that i'll buy that like that's that's the vibe i'm going do you think and this is i'm iterating actually i'm just asking a question kind of based off this do you think Shue gets anything at this game awards? Do you think they give like Shue 31 years?

He's announced he's leaving. Do they have like Lifetime Awards? No. I don't think they've done that. I feel like they've done that before. Right. You're right.

There was like one time they're an Atari creator. Didn't they get something? And then there was that, that yeah, they've done a couple. Yeah, the video Vanguard.

I can see Shue Hay getting something. You better. I wish. That'd be really, really cool. Yeah. I mean, maybe, I mean, it might be tough

to make it happen this year. because he just like, I can see it happening in the next few years. But the thing is like, going back to my prediction a bit too, it's like, this is the tenure. Like,

I wrote a bunch of bullshit jokey stuff. Like, it being the 10 year anniversary of game awards, like, Jeff's got to be cooking something. Like, there's got to be something. And like,

he's even, when you look at the tweets and like the way he's been talking about this year's show, like, it isn't as much hyping things up or not hyping things up, whatever.

It's like, it is talking a lot about this being the 10th one and like how important that is to him. So I think, I think he's got some tricks up his sleep. Big bad beluga puts out of the chat that Yujunaka is out of prison. He was in prison for 30 months in 2021. So like, time's up.

He could be on stage. God damn. Okay, I got two ones that I think are. One's obvious with a twist. Oh. And one's twisty with some obvious. And I mean, honestly, yeah, the other is twisty with some obvious to it. I want easy points.

I don't know, like my first two, I don't know are guaranteed. So I'm going to do one that's like a little bit of a layup, but then I'll add some sauce to it. Doom the Dark Ages gets a new trailer. Ooh. It has, it's finally being given a release window. If I have to guess what the release window is, I'll say summer 2025, all right? We see a new weapon that blows everyone's socks off. It's how I have it written here.

And we get a new celebrity appearance in the game. In Doom? In Doom. Okay, see, you're cooking here. That's insane. Because this is that weird little, like, no. What the hell are you talking about? But, like, it's not, I think in some form, it might not be obvious.

Maybe it's like a radio call, right? Maybe it's somebody who's like some character that, like, appears in like a kind of like a, they're talking to you throughout the game. Some voice or something. I think they're going to find a way to shove a celebrity in Doom. I know Doom doesn't seem like that kind of game, but I think they can do it. I like it. NBC giving you quests? Yeah.

That's crazy. Who's it going to be? I knew you would. ask. Logan Palm. Bruce Campbell playing his evil dead

character. I don't know if this is too on the nose because I... The rock. Dave Batista. Batista. Yeah.

Batista. Yeah. Did he ever get in gears? He wanted to do the gears. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. That's my prediction. I like that. I think that's a fun one.

And that's the thing is I added a lot of sauce to it because I think Doom the Dark Ages being at the game awards just makes a lot of sense. I think everything after that is just, it's just sauce.

I just don't, I just don't, I feel like that's such a poll that they're just like, you know what? Like, that could just be like the mainstay of whatever conference we do or whatever. Like, I don't know. I don't know that it's a lock, but I think timing-wise, it can make sense. Yeah. And that's where I'm coming from.

It's timing-wise. We know that game's coming out in 2025. I think that's the level of game that would be a great get for the game award. It'd be great for Xbox to have it at the game awards. So I think it makes sense to be there. I think that's where you can stamp like a, all right, it's coming out in this window, even from wrong about summer, right? Hey, it's coming out fall 2025 or spring 2025, who knows.

I'm so curious on what it looks like as far as what we get out of it because we've seen that game a couple of times now. Have we? We've seen it at least once now. I think it was just once. Was it just once? I guess we saw a lot when we saw it though because it was gameplay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We saw them with like the little like hair thing. Yeah, the hair cape. Greg. We saw him get shot at the earth. I'm going to say this one. I don't want this to be an actual account. All right. It's something that I had on there, but then there was actually like news of like

jazz cordon saying stuff or whatever about Xbox. So I had written in here, this is not a real one. I just said Xbox goes big. I think they have big news item here like the Xbox series X reveal all those years ago. Maybe a look at the handheld, maybe an Xbox redesign. But now that it's kind of out there in the ether, I don't want to cheat. You know what I mean? So today

Xbox posted something little is coming. Oh, did they? Little is coming. Yeah. There was like a... What Jen says whenever I get out of the shower. That's most controversial game reviewer. A little better version is that. I was like, he's thinking. Something little is coming. I'm like, you could have done better.

All right. You know what, everyone knows. Everyone knows where I'm about to go in that one. We'll get on. It was Xbox UK, and they said something little is coming. Hashtag score more with Xbox.

I don't know what that is. That sounds dumb as shit. Yeah, I mean, did you see the animation though? Yeah, it's like a meteor. It looks like a meteor. Like an X-Bose. And then some, like, people were applying, like, this is not the handheld.

This is not the, even though that would make total sense. I wonder what the fuck it is, though. Smaller Xbox. That fire stick equivalent. Everything's in Xbox. You see what that meteor's going through? Clouds. Cloud gaming.

Oh, shit. And they're coming down to Earth. They're not in the cloud. He's right. Yeah. I think Barrett's totally right. The score more, a hashtag score more with Xbox totally fit. It's going to be like a fucking some stickers ad campaign or some bullshit with there.

Yeah, definitely going to be some dumb shit. They can't decide what's the plural of Xbox, Xbox or Xboxes. Did you see this, Greg? Did you see this? There's a different. Oh, now they put it in. Correct. Well, I mean, like, I saw that, but I didn't take that as like, oh, they can't decide.

I took that as Greg DM Phil Spencer on Con of Funny Games Daily. Phil didn't give me his phone number, but did respond to he saw the text message. Then he went and fixed it. So as always, Greg Miller, savior of Xbox. What's the smallest thing you could put a cloud gaming on? Wado. That didn't really make sense. Let me come out of the shower and I'll show you.

I'm waiting for See, that's good I like that one I like that one He got me Oh man It's only small After a shower

I don't know You know what I mean I don't know Last week on games daily I got caught saying Talking about How big the screen size Of the switch is gonna be

Oh I saw this Like Anything bigger than seven inches Is uncomfortable You know But Greg What is your prediction? So I put that out there

Congratulations to me That's great I'm going to put a fun stupid one out for my third where I don't actually think it would happen but I like the sound of it right where it is please welcome to the stage undisputed WW champion Cody Rose adrenaline

and it comes out with a belt and the nice suit on or whatever and then it gets kind of murky because I think honestly what would happen is they would show Jeff's like and now a world premiere they go to the trailer and it's that I bear it put this in assets it's that 2022 RPG

WWE that Stephanie McMans talked about this. Stephanie McMahon talked about this in a conference call. And everybody's like, what the fuck are you talking about? And then just moved on. So that's two years ago, if it's actually happening, they show the trailer for whatever this WWRP is. Then they come back and Jeff's like,

please welcome, undisputed, WWJame, Cody, which is just cool to hear. Oh, that would be awesome. And he comes out and, you know, Cody, who is a gamer, bullshits around about some RPG or whatever the hell you're doing. I love where your head's at. And again, WWE right now are in full on marketing. Yeah. Saturday night's main events.

we got, which is this Saturday. Yeah. Oh shit. Basically a PLE. I was pretty crestful on this Saturday when I turned on Peacock. I'm like, when is deadline ending? And I go to Google like,

God damn it's next Saturday. And then yeah, the Netflix deal coming. There's money being pushed towards like. And Cody is a gamer. I like this. I like the RPG, yeah. I'm just, I'm saying yes. I'm saying you get a video down stage.

It's Xavier, though. I mean, now he just turned a heel. He comes out and he just fucking. He comes out and fucking nails. And another thing about Biggie. He comes out to a pocket card. I feel like to your point earlier, Greg, like, Cody would be announced as being there. But maybe he still could be.

Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like it. I like it.

It's wishful thinking to a degree, but like, yeah, I like it. It's fun. Raj. Yeah, that's a really fun one. You guys are having fun ones. I'm going to go for one. I think it's a little. He's like, there's going to be a terrorist attack.

Let's take a dark turn. Not everybody who's at the game where it survives tonight. Jeff will come on stage. and say one of the biggest releases of this year and a game of the year nominee has some new some new content coming out

here's a first look and it's going to be Black Myth Wu Kong expansion coming out in the next few months it's going to be an expansion not just regular throwaway DLC it's going to get the internet ablaze and excited and that's my prediction it's going to be expansion not just a generic costume pack or whatever we're going to actually do it

they are jumping off of the excitement and the hype and there's been rumors in the ether of like, hey, potentially this is, if they do an expansion, it's going to be the first half of the next year, this is the time to do it. I like that. I'm not going to use one of these as my predictions, but one that I had is it wasn't my top five,

but in there, one of my predictions potentially would have been Blackmuth Wukong, Stellar Blade, Dragon's Dogma 2. Two out of three of them will get D.L.C. I love that. That's smart. That would have been my prediction, but I'm not going with that. I just want to throw it out there. I think you say two out of three

we're like going to collab with each other but we don't know which two. No. You'll never be able to guess which two. Okay. Do you as likely? Blessing? I remember there being like reports and stuff

and I forget where I leaned it on that and like what like what those are saying exactly. It just feels too soon though. Like an expansion for Blackmuth feels like it would be one, that's like a lot of work. That's a lot of dev power, right?

Unless it's more so of like more of a smaller DLC, maybe it is something along the size of like a Spider-Man, City that Never Sleeps type thing where they just add one new level. The way we just beat on this DLC. I can't think of any other deals. Who say the full name too? Two bangers and announce Wolverine since

that kind of funny's always like I'm not. I was like, what's another mediocre DLC? My mind went to the horizon one, but I was like, I like that. Sparta me. I think if it's like something that's a smaller scope, then I can see it. And I think that's likely.

Call it like an expansive thing. I get more like, I don't know about it, but I guess if it's something smaller, I could see it. I think it's gonna, I think it's gonna, I think it's gonna, I think it's gonna, I think it's gonna be called an expansion specifically. I guess the gamer's hyped. YLC wasn't even that bad.

That's also the good point of it. It's like, it's not like Spider-Man's story that never sleep stunk. Yeah. It was okay. People also mentioned, uh, Xbox. I don't know if you do that the same time. I could see that, but I feel like that's more of just like,

hey, that's out right now. You know what I mean? That's on whatever. That's just out. I don't think they would sneak that in there. That's fine. Tim? Yeah.

What are you thinking? Your fourth. Are you thinking fourth meal, Taco Bell? That's my thing. You know, all right, I'm going here. Easy win for me. Easy win for me. On October 6th,

2020, himself, Anthony Mackie, he posted on his Instagram, a picture of himself looking very cold in Canada. He was wearing a jacket from the Canadian brand, Canada Goose, that seemed like it was doing

quite an adequate job of keeping him warm. This appears to have been a sponsored post. This is like when you read this like how many red herrings is he putting in there for you to get caught up. I feel like it's going to be an entitled Goosecape prediction. This appears to have been a sponsored post as at Canada Goose was tagged. But Canada Goose wasn't the only thing tagged.

A certain streaming service named after a flamboyant bird was also tagged, along with a few choice words that change everything. That's a wrap on season two of Twisted Metal. What a ride. June 8th, 2023, the Twisted Metal Season 1 clip slash trailer was revealed at Jeff Keely's Summer Game Fest. Later that year, Jeff Keely's the Game Awards

2023, Twisted Metal Season 2 was formally announced. Now at Jeff Keely's the Game Awards 2024, the Twisted Metal Season 2, first clip slash trailer will be revealed. I like that. Samojo there? In the trailer. Okay.

Him actually there? Doubtful. Okay. I mean, he's doing the Yakuza game. Yeah. I mean, he... Double duty. In the reveal trailer from last year's game awards, it was him.

We didn't know it was him yet, though, did we? No, we did. For season two trailer or announcement. Okay, okay. I feel like this is like such a slam dunk. This is happening for sure. Wow. Yeah, that's good.

I agree that that does sound like, yeah, a no-brainer that you have that day. Bless. No, I mean, oh, for my prediction. Yeah. Oh, you have more to say. No, no, no, I'll be more to say. I was like thinking about the bird the whole time. I was like, what flamboyant bird?

Like, Twitch ain't a bird. Yeah, it's like, you can't say. It shows up with a fruit loops. integration. I think, is there a woodpecker streaming service? Okay, my next one, my fourth prediction.

I'll go with a simple one. It was sometime recently in the last few days, Tekken announced that they're going to announce that their last DLC character of their season one wave. We're going to get Tifa.

Tifa's coming out and so attacking. Oh, yeah. I have the most verbose fucking things for anything and what? Just Tifa Lockhart and TACNA. That's so funny because, like, this is the exact same for me too, or I just have no flavor to it.

Just Tifa's coming to Tegas. I believe, dude. I fucking believe. And it's like, that is the type of announcement that would make so much sense, especially right in the high of rebirth winning all these awards around the world for Game of the Year and all that stuff. The demand for Tifa in Taken is at fever pitch.

Yes. This has to go down. And like we've seen it happen before. Noctus was in Tekken 7. And I feel like if Noctus, no offense to Knotts, you know. Shoutouts. No, Nogtis. I've never played Final Fantasy 15, but I'm sure he's a very great guy.

but like if not just can make it to teken 7 with the demand for tifa and the legacy of tifa and for the kind of year that we're having and her fighting style everything about that character hits in teckon so well and the teck and audience actually wants it right the teck and audience is actually asking for it so i think it's a match made in heaven that's a game awards house announcement yes and it's a game award level announcement

especially for a game awards where final fans of seven rebirth is nominated right like that would be such a wave to surf off so many people in chat are also saying that it's the tifa and the waffle house stage? You think it's, no, Waffle House is Tech and 9? Yeah, I think, I don't think Waffle House knows what they have as far as

getting into tech. I don't think, I don't think their branding team understands the power that that has. But yeah, maybe Tech and 9 they get there, but I don't know. I don't think you get Waffle House. Just generic house of Waffles, you think maybe? That's a good question. Maybe.

If you, if like, but here's the thing, because I do think that Herada and the team, I think they're going after it. I think they want Waffle House in there. but I don't think they want to excuse how dirty this but I don't think they want to blow their load if there was a chance of Waffle House in the future

If they can get Woffel House in there before Tech and 8 is over Then they'll do it I just think if your Waffle House is not even so much The Branding aspect of it as much as like Do you want to be known as the place where fights break out all the time You know what I think that's really what they push back As much as Waffle House is that we're wasted

It's 3 a.m. Let's get some waffles. Waffle House doesn't lean into that being their real reputation even though that's a real reputation. But yeah, I don't think they can do it. I don't think they do it unless they can get the IP. Or use Waffle House. Gregi. We already know that it has 10 million players,

but Marvel Rivals is not done rocking your world yet this year. They will announce that Blade is the next character coming, drop a trailer for it. And I almost want to tinker with it being imminent, but I'm not going to go that far. Like a day, you know, he's available now kind of thing. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to say that,

but I do think they announce Blade and they show a trailer for Blade. one of mine. I was like, I was either teetering between that and, uh, Fantastic Four, but I know the movie's coming out and they probably went, but like all the Fantastic Four were data-mined. Like, they have them all in the game. So like, that's ready to go. So, but Blade is. Blade, do you know? Because I do know. Yeah. So that makes sense. Okay. Wait, we, he's in the yeah. Sorry, he's in, he's in like in the files. Oh, yeah. People found his render or whatever. So yeah. So, yeah. So that's a perfect one. Did you know that? No. Oh, wow. That's good. I'm

trying to, I was looking at the, I looked at the rockster name. I mean, there's a lot of Marvel characters. I mean, maybe I'm going to shoot myself in the foot, but looking at the list, I was like, Captain Marvel or Blade? And I was like, Blade, I think's cooler. Captain Marvel is cool, but like, I think kind of played out in a way where it's like Blade's still always hot. Was Deadpool in the files? No, but I believe Ultron was.

Cyclops is the, I think, the big missing one right now. Was he in there, too? I think so. Okay, I like that. Marvel rivals getting something, I think, is a very good call. Do you think it's like today? Or do you think, you know, like, And he's available now.

I think, why not, right? Like, I feel like ride that wave, like, keep things going. And they love doing that. They love doing that. Here's the trailer. It's out now. Like, they did that during the beta period, which is kind of wild, right? So I think they just have a bunch of others ready to go.

And they're just like, where's the button? Where's the announcement? We're going to do it. Roger. Number four. Okay. I have two fun ones, so I'm excited to get to it. This one is just more of, like, one in my heart.

But I think it's also time. It's been a while since we heard from TT Games. T.T. Games has not been, been heard of since the Skywalker saga. We just had the old Lego developers. Yeah, the old Lego developers. We know they're clearly working on something. We had the Lego Horizon release, which was not TT games, but it's still a Lego thing

that's out of the way. We just had the announcement of a Lego Fortnite thing that was out of the way. I think this is perfect time for them to look up and be like, hey, here's the next game. I think it is a Lego game. And I do think it is the Infinity Saga. I think that they're going to go for that. That just, they're taking a long time. I don't want them to do that.

I think it's just too far gone. They've done the Avengers. They've done other things like it. I can be down for that. I love that. I just didn't, going back to Skywalker Saga, I'm like,

this is not the type of game that I think, they're just going too complex with it, right? They're doing third person shooting. They're not making this as simple as possible. So I hope that they go back to that original DNA and formula.

I don't think they will. I think it's going to be kind of building, pun intended, on what they've built on with the original game. So, yeah, I mean, it's been two years since the,

since the release of Skywalker Saga, that was also in gestation for the longest time. So yeah, I think it's going to be, it's going to be an infinity saga. Greg's point, this is more so a question to the table. Does, how much does Marvel like to point back to the infinity saga? Obviously, it's huge for them, right? And the people love the infinity saga.

But does it feel like they're trying to focus on like the future more? Like, I feel like I don't get as much like Infinity Saga put in front of me by Marvel. Yeah. Is that my, my off? I mean, I think that's just because there's new thing. There's always new shit to focus on. So they're pushing that. But like, I mean.

Did you see them like doing like green lighting? Hey, we want to do an infinity. saga video game. Absolutely. I mean, I'm with Roger. I predicted the Infinity Saga Lego game years ago. It still hasn't happened. I think it is inevitable, just like Thanos.

That it will happen. It's just a matter of when. It's long enough that we don't know what they're working on and all that. So that could add up. I do think potentially they might hold that for closer to like a 10-year anniversary of the Infinity's, like the road to end game type stuff, which we're a couple years off of now. Yeah, it's a weird one because I just wonder

what they're doing because you think about all the franchises. I'm like, oh, Harry Potter, they've done that already. Like, in the other joke, they've done. Like, every conceivable franchise, I'm sure people are going to chat or going to scream out ones that I haven't thought of. But, I mean, James Bond was the one that I was thinking about, but they leaked that and that has been canceled, right? So, I don't know what they're doing.

The Star Wars game, it's like, they made a bunch of Star Wars games before that, right? And, like, Star Wars, the Skywalker saga was the, all right, now we want to make the ultimate one because we want to, you know, dive into this well again. They've done the same for Marvel as far as they made a bunch of Marvel games. I think if you want to make something that excites people and be able to go back into that well that you've been in before, yeah, the Infinity Saga works so well. The other one that I was thinking around that I think would be awesome would be for them to be like, we're just doing Lego Superman.

Like we're doing this, I don't know if it's an actual DCU thing, but like if it's just like, hey, we're just, it's, Lego Superman, not Lego Batman because they've only done Lego Batman. They did DC superheroes or whatever. We just do a Superman game. I think that would be interesting to coincide with the movie to have something else. I wish, man, but no, that's the thing where they'd always branded Batman to do that, right? Especially after DC supervillains, which I feel like didn't perform the way they wanted it to. Lego does have a Lego Infinity Saga line as well, like the toys themselves. Oh, okay.

With logo branding and stuff, so there's something there. I think that for sure is going to happen. Don't tell him, this is the breakthrough Christmas for Ben where we're doing Legos. He's getting his Lego stuff. They're going to be broke. Grandpa and Go-Go just ordered and got, we got, I was walking out today. I saw the package of the Lego table with like the, you know, the built-in, the storage underneath. and we're getting

Legos from us. Don't tell him as if I have his number. I'm going to text be like, yo Ben. You're not going to believe what I just heard.

My final one, fairly simple one. But in 2020, Final Fantasy 7 remake was nominated for but did not win Game of the year at the Game of the Year at the Game Awards

2021. Final Fantasy 7 remake Intergrade was announced for PC coming to Epic Games days after the game awards, but they would not release on Steam until six months later in June 2020.

this year at the Game Awards, 2024, my prediction is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be announced to be coming to PC both on Steam and Epic by the end of this year. Wow. This might seem like this year. End of 2024. Yes.

Wow. Here's my reason. That might seem a little crazy because you look at remake, the first part of this, right? Came out in April and it wasn't until essentially a year later that we get this thing coming at PC over a year later. But that included DLC, that included

intergrade. That was like there was more game to develop. There's not now. They've also been porting games left and right to PC. I feel like they have that shit down. The Epic Steam situation, different than it used to be. Epic doesn't do those like buyout deals anymore. Yeah. So I think it's coming to Steam.

And it did release like a week later last time. So I do think, I'm giving it a little, a couple extra because I feel like it might be a little type of turnaround, but I do think both Steam and Epic by the end of the year. Farm Festi 7 Rebirth, extra stuff, no integrate, no whatever, just the game, because they said they're not doing DLC this time. You don't think PlayStation has like a year deal, as my thought too.

That is the one thing. So I am playing with fire closely because 557 was January this year. February. February. Yeah. So, yeah, but no, I want to keep it spicy. I like it. And I'm hoping there's a sign of some type of negotiations going on that are changing

things because I want to believe, I mean, how much do I want this prediction to be? It's also coming to Xbox? very high. But I don't think that that's going down. But I do hope, and a lot of this is just me, make-believe shit. But I do hope that by the time we get to the third part, we're getting these games on Xbox, even though I think that it's very unlikely that we're in a situation right now. Currently, that would allow that, I do think that given the state of the industry, I would not be surprised if, even if PlayStation had some type of buyout, if Square would

would be like, we're going to buy that buyout out to be able to post it everywhere. I agree with that. I think by the time we get to the third game, excuse me, I think we could be in a place where all the games have been ported now to Xbox for people. I do, and I agree that I,

I could easily see Seven Rebirth appearing at Game Awards, but the only part is I do think that it gets announced for February or later. I think that PlayStation agreement probably holds, and I think that's why we got Remake Integrated like a year plus a month, I think, after the original remake came out on PlayStation.

Sorry. Tim, I just, what's the likelihood not even at the Game Awards, but just in general, that they'll make Queen's Blood its own game on mobile? I think that there is a 95% chance.

We get Dean's Blood as a standalone thing. It needs to be. I hope, dude. I need it. I think it happens. Actually, I hope not because I'm tired, man. I've been playing a lot of card games.

You're in your card game era, bless. I am. I'm obsessed right now. Apparently they, like, I have a problem. Someone's told me. Bless. Final prediction.

And I have like, quite a few written down. None of them have been from like the chat suggested ones just for the record. Just for this so y'all know all right. None of what I've seen from yours Thank you, Bear. Keep him honest. This last one actually just wrote out just now.

Because I read it in chat. I mean Jeff Rubber, I mean I had the seat of it. And the seat of it is naughty dog. Of course Naughty dog, Jeff Keeley, they get along well. Neil Druckman has shown up on Jeff Kiley stages in the past.

There was a, what, summer game fest and a half ago where you had the one that had like last was part one and last plus online. Yeah, here's the concept art. Here's the last of us in 2011 was announced at the Spike Video Game Awards. Yep. That's their debut trailer.

And that was a new IP. Mm-hmm. At the Spike Game Awards. Oh. It's 13 years or so later. Mm-hmm. And right now, when you talk about Nottie Dog, what are we on the precipice of?

Last West Season 2. Last of Season 2. I think that Neil Druckman comes out at the Game Awards. I think he shows us a new trailer for the last was season 2 on HBO. I think that is then followed up with a one more thing from Neil Druckman. And I think we get the reveal teaser for a naughty dog new IP. Insane, bless. I love where your heads are.

That sounds like us being like, okay, well, all the pieces are here. And like, yeah, it makes sense. I don't know that it could possibly happen. I feel like even getting the teaser trailer makes sense. Seems like a poll, though. That seems like there might be like too many moving parts there. you know, Peacock, one thing, HBO, very different. But what I was going to have something like that as one of my predictions if it was the 10-year

anniversary, but it's over 10 years. I feel like there would be something there of Jeff trying to make it all make sense and work. 10 years ago, we announced Naughty Dogg's new IP here to celebrate 10 years of Game Wars. We're doing that too. But yeah, the timing doesn't add up on that. But I fucking hope. Because my thing is, I think it's about time for Naughti-Dock to start talking about it. Right?

Like, I think just because they don't start talking about it doesn't mean that it's going to come out in the next 12 months. obviously. But I think for a naughty dog and a new thing, I think they've shown that they'd be willing to talk about it at a Jeff Keeley thing. It's either that or a PlayStation showcase, but I think this is one of the ones that would be the talk of the town at a Jeff Keeley event, especially the game awards. So I could see PlayStation

being like, yeah, let's do it there. Fuck it. But also, I don't think it's that far away at this point, right? Like, I think for a new Nottie Dog game, for new IP, I think we're talking about what, 2026, 2027. And I think if that's the case, I think you start promoting it now. I think right now's the perfect time.

has PlayStation announced a new game at the game awards the Jeff Keeley the game awards a major PlayStation Studios I was gonna say we had we had God of War of Fahala

He had the Cojima thing No but Fizant That was online That was PlayStation showcase Fuck you're right sorry I don't run this together for me you know I think Valhalla is the Oh that's a good call

Yeah Valhalla last year last was online if you count that Horizon Lego if you count that That's game fest Yeah Oh yeah Game awards though I do think is different Like we're talking about Nottie Dogs

Next big I beat Like there were a few things in the industry bigger than that Like we're talking about GTA 6 and that And switch to you know what I mean That's in a tier That's where I feel like they would give like a like a new trailer for Yote Before they do like hey here's the naughty dog thing right Like I mean I like where your heads at

because they are tight and like, you know, Neil Druckman does come out a lot, but I don't know. I think where we're putting it as far as how it ranks among all these things is the exact reason why it's game awards. Because I think goes to Yote, I do think that is PlayStation Showcase or PlayStation State of Play. I think a GTA or like a Switch thing, I think

those are too big for the game awards, right? I think a new naughty dog IP is the perfect amount of big where Jeff Killey's like, oh, I fucking want that. And PlayStation wants to put it in a place where it is, like, we want to put this in a place that's even bigger than a PlayStation Showcase. Yeah. Right. See, I don't think, I think that the next Nottie Dog game,

Neil Druckman's next Nottie Dog game, that's bigger than Game Awards. Like, to them, to Neil and to PlayStation. That's my thing is I would think PlayStation want to hold on to that and do it for themselves because I think that's how they treat most of the Game Awards announcements. If it's big enough that it's a big deal, we want it in our PlayStation Showcase.

We have to wait a see. I love it, though. I hope. I hope. Yeah. I just feel like there's a history of always getting a PlayStation thing, like a PlayStation thing of consequence at a Jeff Killy event. But I can even see that just being out.

Astrobat D.L.L.C. here. Yeah, but I think that, I mean, it could be that. It could be ghost of Yote, right? But I'm going big. This is predictions. It is. I like this. I like this a lot. Yeah. Great. Final prediction. My final prediction is my most simple one, right? And I'm going to say, but I have a bunch of like, this. But like, the one I have a bunch of do is, blah, blah. But like, the one I'm going to do, hell is us, gets a gameplay trailer and a release date. It'll be April 2025. This is, this. This is the one we all saw and like, what is this? And it's from the people who are over at IDOS, Montreal that have come over to do. Hell is. as us and it's the one that is like they promote, they did a big blog post about it right, whereas like it's a shooter but it's souls like where it's like you're going, we're not putting a hut

up, we're not doing all the stuff, you're meant to go out and survive and die and figure out how to go on and it was that thing where it, we were like what? And then you watch it, like, wait, this actually looks fucking cool. And then the more I read about it was like, this sounds really fucking cool. I think it's got a good it's got a very small as the reactions at the table

told you push behind it. And I think this would be a great one of like, here's the release date trailer with all the gameplay here, but here's the release date. This is a thing. It's coming out early next year to get you pumped. But on the other side of all the crazy stuff that's happening. Because it looks like... I forget all the details. I remember the more we looked in the details

the more excited I was about it because I don't even think that it was like a soulsy type thing. I think it was more so like we're looking into non-linear style storytelling. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it sounded maybe like immersive sim like in some of its elements as well. Like it's taken inspiration from a lot of games that just have like a lot of good ass game design. And in the same way that I talked about Indiana Jones and KFD and how that's a nerdy ass game. This one's sounding like a nerdy ass fucking video game. But this one's good. Just like Indiana Jones.

As someone say, that was great, you know, eight out of ten. You can show the assets again if you want of slowly walking up on dumb asses, stared at the wall. Roger. It's the last one. I'll go big. I'll go big. I'll go big. So Jeff has a very, very long and tenured relationship with Valve, right? Valve and him go back all the way to the creation of Half-Life 1. No, I don't think he's going to announce Half-Life 3. I really hope you're going to say Half-Life 3.

Every single year, I think since the Steam Dex inception, he's been like, hey, I'm going to give away like a billion Steam Decks go on Steam and watch this and whatever. So I think he's going to be like, that's still happening. That's happening this year, whatever. But talking about the hardware of Steam, let's show you some more. So Steam OS has been DataMind to hell that it's happening, and they have like powered by Steam OS, like logos everywhere.

So it seems like they're going to be doing a full push with partners to have a Steam OS on devices. I think those devices are going to be pretty strictly home console devices. They're going to be Steam boxes that you're going to put on your shelf, and it's going to work like a console. And he's going to show multiple different partners. It's going to have like MSI. It's going to have all of the ones that you're expecting to be there. And they're going to show off the new controller,

which is going to look like basically a Steam deck that is smaller. it's going to have the two track pads it's going to have the everything you're expecting and it's going to be 2025 they're going to do a sizzle reel it's going to be like hey you can get all this 2025 I know it's a lot and it's a lot of information to go through but this is this would be the time

I know they don't usually do this with keely they don't give announcements to him but that would be awesome and get people really excited especially before at any moment switch two could be announced we got to get in we got to get in when we can so that would be cool I fuck with it I think that you are spot the fuck on about every

single thing there. Is it at Game Awards? It's my only thing. I do think that everything you just said is going to be announced within the next three months. And having said that, to me, it's either, is it Game Awards, or are they just going to do their own thing because they can do that? And they always do it. But again,

I'm with you, and I actually am leaning towards this happening because 10 years of the game awards, who do you get on stage, Gabe Newell? Right? Like, I do think that that happens to at all. Yes. 100%. I think so. If you get Gabe Newell in the beginning, I would, I would If you get gay with anyone else up there, like that is... Tim Sweeney, they kill each other?

I could. But yeah, there's just been like, there's too much smoke for this, right? Like, we talked about the steam controllers leaking and like people talking about that. All the Steam OS stuff, like, they've been building to this. It's going to happen. Yeah. And I know it counts kind of delusional, but there is a part of me that's like, I do want to predict Half Life 3. Because it has been data mine to hell.

Like, we know about that this thing is happening actively. every single deadlock update has a Half Life 3 update in it. Like you see it all. People are breaking it down. It's real. It's happening. So, yeah, I want them to come out with this because hopefully,

but in the next year we get Half Life 3. I know it's insane. That's your prediction, you coward. I can say, no. We went here. We weren't here. But I mean, maybe in the next half of the year. I think Game Awards as an announcement for this would be a slam dunk, though.

I think you want to be able to speak to that audience. You want to be able to put this in a place where, you know, like, I think if Valve announced this on their own or as a blog post or whatever, it's going to get eyes because they're Valve. and, like, you know, it's exciting and all that stuff. But I think putting on the Game Award stage kind of puts it on a level of, oh, this is something that you should care about outside of even just, like,

the Valve PC players. Hey, console gamers, we're fucking coming for you. But that's what it says. And we're making it easy too. Like, and you have all the time. Everybody loves the Steam Deck, right, because of the simplicity. But that's the thing. It's like, are we going to have the simplicity?

That's my big fear of this. Because when they did the steam machines back of the day, I don't know, I didn't you remember. Like, when they had like alien wear, they had all these different things. But it was confusing, right? I was like, what is this thing? I don't know. They need to have like, this is a steam machine, one,

steam machine, two, steam machine three. Like, hopefully it's just one partner. I mean, that's the biggest problem with it, right? Is that if I go to the steam store and there's not just one there to buy, that's why the steam deck works is that you know you're going there getting. When steam machines were, hey, this is getting announced. That sounds cool. Oh, but it's everywhere. Everything is a steam machine.

You can download Steam OS and then this, yeah. Talking about what, Ron, saying the OS thing. I think that, Greg, is the remedy to what we're talking about here. I do think there will be a dedicated. if there's the steam deck, there'll be a steam, whatever the hell it's called, right?

That is the, like, the console, but then I do think we're going to start getting the Steam OS on other PCs, on other handheld devices,

like things like that. So yeah, I do think that they, they're going to, like, triple down and give us what we are hoping for, not what they did last time.

You know what, fuck it. I'm going to add it. Gabe Newell comes out on stage announces the steam, the steam machines. One more thing, Half Life 3.

Half Life 3. I'm going to do it. I know, the more I think about, the more I feel it in my heart. It's like, fuck, that would be the thing

that gets people like Andy Robinson or whatever tweeting and being like, yo, this is, this is the one. Damn, you're right.

You're right, Raj. No, I mean, he's announced. You cannot be not hyped about it. You know what I mean? Like,

you can't walk away and be like, this is going to be shit. Like, that's a six point five. Like, no, it was a 10 of 10.

Would Jeff Kili be this silent though? Yeah. Like, if I was Jeff, I'd be bursting at the seams. No, no, That's why you got to keep it cool.

Under promise over to learn. He's legitimately light yagamy and death note where he's like, I can't laugh. I can't laugh like just shut the fuck up. When you know, when you feel the vibe is a lower year, that's when you're like, that's when you start talking to be like, hey, it's going to be a chilly year, just like he did last year. When you got the stuff, you shut the fuck up Friday. Yep, dude, straight up.

Yeah, half like three. It gets leaked. Raj is the top of my list for like things that didn't make my five. So no, I'm right there with you. Like, because you're cool. looking. You got all the pieces there. But yeah, good, good time. That's true.

Man, Jeff's a better man than I am. I'll be tweeting every day like, man. Beautiful. You're all ready? You're not going to be ready. You're not going to be ready. What a beautiful comment. So those are our predictions.

I feel really great about it. What a fun show we just did. Of course, we're going to be live reacting to the game awards later this week on Thursday. We'll be doing a little pre-show. We'll react to their pre-show, their whole show. Then we'll do a breakdown, Tom, about it all.

Before we leave today, though, I do want to get through the super chats y'all sent in. Alex J. Sanneval says, are you all going to wear your best dressed at TGA's fits for the reaction stream? That'd be fun. I'm going to dress up like I always do, but I'm not trying any extra hard. I'm going to dress down. I'm dressing up. I'm wearing pajamas. Jeff Kirby says, why does Tim know what dog food tastes like?

I don't. I know what frostbite shit tastes like. The fucking frost. So weird. I hate the frost. So you're keeping things in the freezer for like months and months and months and months. and then you're like taking it out and using it? Yes, that's exactly what I said.

That's a bad idea. When we put you in the zoo, we'll give you the fresh food, all right? It's horrible, dude. Jordan Vickers says either 1.0 of Hades 2 is shadow dropped or Silk Song is shadow dropped. I was surprised nobody said Silk Song. Yeah. I feel like Hades 2 is the more. Hades 2 makes sense.

I stopped predicting the Rock would show up. I just can't anymore. Yeah. Hades 2 was, or Hades and the Game Awards have lineage. Right? We got Hades 1. Early Access was announced there. Hades 2 at all was announced there. So, like, I do think we'll get Hades 2 something here. I think it might be a little early for a 1.0 date, but at the same time, like,

yeah, it has to come at some point, right? Yeah, that would shift the game or a long from 1.0 than we expect. Further away? Yeah, or like, yeah, further away, sorry. Gotcha. Because I think, like, think about how big the early access is. Mm-hmm. I feel like Hades' too is going to be really big.

Yeah. Nathan Maloney says persona 6 and Wolverine. I see a lot of people say Wolverine. I don't know, man. I feel like that game's further out. I think that's like a last year. I just think PlayStation just doesn't want to play like that. Yeah, I would think PlayStation just holds on to that to their own thing.

But yeah. I feel like PlayStation knows that they need a showcase. They need a banger showcase at some point in 2025. And I feel like, you'll wait. Because you got Corey's project. You got naughty dog. You got all the insomniac stuff. Like, you need.

to get people back like, yo, we're fucking ready. Yeah. Also, Persona 6 is not having him. I have a pizza bet with Mr. Hawks in the chat. It's not going to happen. Bailey, if things says,

Hypersonsibly should be a new t-shirt. I like that. Xbox. And I knew it reading this time. Says, holiday love, thanks for bringing us so much joy on our good days and bad days. You have a great job,

but not an easy one. Yet the vibes are always as immaculate as your style. Thanks for being so special and also for reading most of my cringes fuck super chats. KAM forever. Thank you so much. We appreciate you for always hanging out with us. Cozy Bear says a new Metroid Prime 4, Metroid Prime 4 Beyond trailer will be shown.

And the big reveal in it will be that Samis is voiced. Her actress will be a well-known talent who's appeared in other AAA games. That's cool. I like that idea a lot, but no, I don't think so. Metroid being there is not impossible. Yeah. her being voice I think is less likely Yeah I think her being voice

After um Metroid other M I think No I also think Nintendo Yeah Nintendo I feel like for I mean for most their IP Doesn't have voices And I think that's probably easy for them

To be like yo we don't got to rely on an actor We can like make this on our own time We can do whatever the fuck we want I don't like it but Speaking of Nintendo though I'm surprised he didn't say Kirby playing at Robobot That's the thing like I Nintendo's weird man

Why doesn't make you laugh Greg Making shit on games. Yeah, I mean, I feel like that's around these shows. I believe that's going to happen, but I don't, I don't see it as a game award. That's right. That gives me Nintendo direct. Surprise no one said, uh, Wonder Woman.

Just, it's on my list, right? One of my list, one of my list. There was absolutely zero talk of monoliths, Wonder Woman. Oh, I like that.

I know they updated the website not too long ago. People were pointing to that. I want the Wonder Woman game to exist in me great. I just do not understand what's going on with that or where it is. Yeah. And that's just like where W. W.B is that in general. Yeah.

Like, it's just, like it's all a big shrug. You can't predict anything like that. One of the ones that got written here, MGS3 release date. Yeah. Probably nobody said that either. I had MGS3. I feel like that's such a slam dog.

I think that's it. There's no chance we don't get metal your solid three Delta's release date. But do you think that that Kui is like we got Kojima here? We don't have to make him look at that. No, because I feel like they've shown so much love to the game. We don't want to make him look at that. Close your eyes. Close your eyes.

I'm so sorry. I don't think so. You don't think... Wow. Then where? Press release. Press release and trailer drop. Man.

Who gives you shit? I had... Sorry, I had Wolf among us too. I feel like that's also just a given. I mean, that's game's so weird, but it's also tied to... Game Awards. ...and everything. And then I had Silent Hill F, which I felt like...

I feel like it's been a while and, like, we're getting off the hype of Silent Hill 2. It's about time that we show the next mainline Silent Hill game. I can see that. Silent Hill 2 was featured in Keely's, like, hype trailer for this thing. Yeah. Silent Hill F. which I think it was just featuring all the games nominated, but still.

Engine 25 says, Pity Greg's indie review kills any clout from the peel prediction. A little winky emoji just fucking with you. Bless took my prediction about Doom, but I predict we'll see double finds next game. Oh, shit. Broken Age 2.

I would love that. I could see it. Full throttle. Again. Fuller throttle. I think from what we could pull from psychotasy and just like other things, I feel like their next project is going to be one of their kind of another smaller project.

Don't expect a Psychonauts 3. Don't expect a Psychonauts 3. I already see it to chat. Don't do that. They like doesn't work on small shit, not big franchise stuff. Also, Persona 6 won't be at the Game Awards. So the thing about Double Fun,

my prediction is it will not be at the Game Awards, but it will be in the Xbox underscore developer direct, whatever it's called, in February. Okay. That works. That's fair. I like that.

Deer Sixlet says, Harada has said season one won't have a guest. This doesn't disqualify her for season two, though. And also, Harada lies sometimes. Yeah, Harada do be lying. And also,

I mean, what non-guest character would they announce a game awards? I mean, like, you're going to feed the tech and audience for sure if you announce that, like, I don't know,

Christy's back or whatever. Shout to Christy. Shout to Christy. But, like, it's a game awards announcement. Put fucking Tifa in there. Yeah.

I'm with you. Joey Radstone says Kingdom Hearts 4. It's been almost three years since reveal. I really, I don't think that he's got the stuff. But I do think Kingdom Hearts 4 in 2025 is going to be a thing. I was just thinking if he got Half-Life 3, bro, he got the stuff for anything. Anything and everything. You know what I mean? It would be 10 year? Yeah, it definitely. 10 years in the game awards. It's bigger than ever. You know that more eyes than we are used to the press release after it every fucking Monday, right? Or yeah, Monday usually is when it is of like, here's the viewership, outstanding number, you know, year over year,

up the X percent. Like, it's the place to go, right? So this could be the one where Jeff pulls in all the favors and does the thing.

Shana Duffy says, do you guys think it's possible we see Tomb Raider? I think it's very unlikely. It feels too early for some reason. I know they've been cooking on it, but yeah, I don't feel likely.

That feels like one of those things that would have leaked by now if it was going to happen. I feel like if we see it, it's going to be some Wonder Woman type shit of like, oh, we ain't going to see that for a long time.

Okay. Cato and two throwaways. I have Team Eco's next game, which they're gen design now. They're working with Epic to make their next thing. I think we can see that at the game awards. And then I have here a Wu-Tang game. Oh,

with one of the members appears. Which Wu-Tang member? Oh, that's the moment in the beginning. Game Newell and all the Wu-Tang members. All the games together. And Redmond. And lodging for some reason. Throw-away ones I put down.

It's finally happening. A Superman game is announced. which of course it isn't happening. And then I put, I think a good pre-show announcement would be the announcement of Joe Hendry DLC for WW2K-D4. But at this point,

you're waiting for W.D.E. 225, right? Because you're going to announce it at, uh, what, it'll be announced in, well, a ship in March.

So it's what around Rumble time, a little after Rumble time. Should have made it a live service. They should have. Great blessing. A couple, a couple, uh,

just throw away ones I had, uh, a Starfield, uh, Game of the Year edition, uh, PS5 port. A,

It was a work on the face. Yeah. Just have space. Astrix. Yeah. But yeah, PS5 Starfield. I think this would be the place to talk about that.

Hogwarts Legacy director's cut of some sort or like some type of something or other. Oh, yeah, yeah. My God. You guys have any other? Judas. Yeah, Judas got kicked around a lot of them. I'll be interested in that, actually. I also wrote down here and I don't believe it, but I put Ben Studio.

Sony Bend? Yeah. But that's also like, that's a PlayStation show case situation. point like where they are. I put Sonic. You know, he's always in the ether. You never know what he's doing. You know what he's always.

I feel like they would have teased that. That would have been like, do you think top golf across Sonic may be also a sponsor of the game awards? Oh. No, but I do think there's a chance that we see the Sonic movie. Movie DLC for Sonic Shadows Generations like. That's a 10 minute deal. See, there's no shy you show more.

They did say more about it where it's a full act one, act two. Like, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah. So I can see them, come on. Put something out there

as also cross-promotion for the movie because the movie comes out next week. Yeah, I can see that. I wonder, also like just in the ether is like the Sega stuff.

I mean, we saw that last year. Like, are we going to see more of that? Are they going to do another one? Are they just going to show off crazy taxi? You imagine they showed off 10 more games. Yeah. For a life.

You don't even own some of these IP. I think either Judas or Bioshock will be there, one or the other. And, uh, like, Bioshock. Oh, man.

Bioshock and Half-Life 3 in the same showcase would break the world We got Liza P DLC was one We're like there was the T's right For a sequel but what if that's just DLC And we were like we're trying to like align with Wicked At this point like you know

I would be sad if that was DLC but also I'd be excited So coming off of Wicked Are you kidding me? And then I have here Arc System Work announces a new fighting game And it's an IP game that's like More West Western appealing right this is them kind of like trying to break out

and like kind of have another dragonball fighters moment but like also for the Western audience The Hill fighters? Yeah, exactly. Damn it, Bobby. The last one I want to throw out there is that like I didn't want to make official because I don't think right now

necessary there's the time but I want to start saying this Ooh, I like to start saying. Make it regular. Ninja Guyton 4. Yeah. It's time. It's time for us to go back to Ninja Guyton, right? Like the difficult action game that everybody

freaking love. during the Xbox generation. Like they, they had the stuff. They were the thing. Souls has kind of taken that all over. I think it's time for my boy, Ryu Hayabusa to come back.

I agree. And reclaimed the throne. I know three wasn't that great. But four could change that. And we don't really know what the next one is from, from Koi Tecmo. Because Koi Techmo, they're Ninja Guy.

Yeah, like they've done Nios. They did a WOLong Fallen Dynasty. This last year they did Rise of the Ronan. They're other due to announce something else. Like, they're always churning out something. I think Ninja

Guyton would be exciting for the fan base. And I think that outfit within the mold of the games they've already been making, even though I hope that if they do announce a new Ninja Garden, I hope it's not just here's more Neal style gameplay. Like, use this as an opportunity to push that shit forward. That's one thing is I think Ninja Guidant 4 will be Ninja Guided.

Yeah, which I'm very, very excited about. Dan Brandt TV writes in to close the show out here, saying bold prediction, this game awards is going to be a 10 out of 10. Belachos by game of the year, but an audio listener for the past year. Love from Tasmania, Australia. Shout out to you. We appreciate you so very, very much. It's going to be a big Thursday.
