Enjoy. --- Hello everybody. *00:00* There's PlayStation, um, Nintendo is notably missing. *00:00* So you gotta highlight which what video games are gonna be at the trade show. *00:00* That game seems so good. *00:00* You could kill Miles' mom. *00:00* That is where they will confirm that gameplay will be revealed the following Sunday at the Xbox event. *00:00* So this one is probably February or March. *00:00* I don't know if they'll commit to any sort of release windows or anything like that just yet. *00:00* But also I don't know if you'll steal it because technically I'm recycling it. *00:00* And who knows, maybe they're tac I mean, technically right now they are last because Sony's at least first event of the summer is in five days for four days and *00:00* I mean it's not as hyped up in the same way as something like in-game or whatever. *00:00* Yeah, the fact that they confirmed tears live, I was surprised by if I'm being honest. *00:00* And that's what they did last year. *00:00* It's quite a bit. *00:00* I think it'll be Last of Us Remake plus the new factions thing that they've been working on for a long time. *00:00* Like my point now is we're so far away from thieves in time that to then bring aboard like s to say, hey, Pixel lopis, we want you to make Sly Cooper 5. *00:00* It's a studio with experience in the medium, which not a lot of like the big top first party Sony studios have. *00:00* It'd be great if they took the Xbox route and you could put your PS3 disk in and it emulates, just like you did with PS2 games and PS1 games on the PS3. *00:00* That's probably a terrible prediction because I do think that this game does need a title. *00:00* So you took my prediction. *00:00* We're getting video game news and conferences. *00:00* And he does a good job of hyping them up, um, then yeah, people yeah people will start to come to this, which is why I have some specific *00:00* for a Nintendo Direct was always just as bad too, as it was with the Monday with the PlayStation and Xbox. *00:00* Ubisoft Square and then PlayStation ended. *00:00* I missed the biggest thing. *00:00* So there's like one A, one B and then one C to eat of some of these predictions. *00:00* Yeah. *00:00* Just Starfield gets a blowout gameplay, Todd Howard, quote, it just works, and quote, works demo. *00:00* Uh maybe that avowed game we see something of. *00:00* Now we will I mean again the first thing they showed of it was that initial gameplay demo. *00:00* Creative's coffee mug behind me over there. *00:00* in the PS4's life cycle. *00:00* It's creeping up there. *00:00* So I think that that would be an easy one for Kojima to toss to his second party relationship. *00:00* Ghost of Tsushima 2 is a thing. *00:00* About this really, but I'm gonna be hosting that podcast in perpetuity now, and now I'm getting on this and you're hosting this, and it's like messing up my brain with the conversation. *00:00* Hey, this is really throwing me off because you and I talked about with our other podcast how I mean I don't know if we need to talk *00:00* So to me to me it's just the time of year and the news and it's wrapped under the identity of E3, and sure, that company has fallen apart. *00:00* Yes. *00:00* Who but it seems like these the PlayStation fans are not Nintendo fans. *00:00* Will there be a direct in February? *00:00* In the fall. *00:00* Yeah. *00:00* Uh we could plan out all the I mean we could we could create very broad windows right now for when all the directs happen every year. *00:00* Usually there's like one wild card direct that comes in throughout the game. *00:00* Uh because we're talking about how things are different now. *00:00* Third parties are gonna be here doing all sorts of stuff. *00:00* But then again, so's a lot of everybody, I guess, who's involved with this industry tangentially, including myself, um, we're all torques. *00:00* Literally from like May to Aug August is like it just stretched and any any single announcement that happened he claimed was part of it. *00:00* But I I guess I guess what I'm gonna guess what his frame of mind is with this, is that he's doing the same thing that E3 did. *00:00* to be used to like all day Monday is Xbox, Ubisoft, PlayStation. *00:00* For the past few years, Xbox has done it on the weekends, right before now. *00:00* While you jot those down, uh for a little bit of context, what is today? *00:00* I mean Halo launching in the state that it launched, Cyberpunk launching in the state that it launched. *00:00* You think Phil went in there and said we need this game to be one we need this game to be a hundred percent locked? *00:00* And Skyrim and you soar ten thousand feet into the sky as your body flails around lifelessly. *00:00* I I I think it's really interesting that they put the Forza Horizon team on that to make an fantasy RPG. *00:00* I'm actually not sure what Luna uses for Amazon. *00:00* And then the streaming stick with that, 150 bucks, maybe even you eat the cost, and it's a hundred bucks. *00:00* They'll count that as console sales or something, and it gets more people subscribing to Game Pass, bolstering those numbers. *00:00* uh xcloud like game streaming to your Xbox Ones is coming for Game Pass where you'll be able to just pull stream Series X games to your One X or your Series or your *00:00* I I mean, we know they're doing the Indiana Jones game, but that thing is that thing they're not even in production on that yet, I'm gonna guess. *00:00* Signed that deal and made that teaser trailer and then they're like, okay, cool, now what is this game? *00:00* Yeah, I I think the past couple years the thing with these Xbox events is they have just been announcing games left and right when they're not showing any of them off *00:00* And there are a lot of studios that we don't know what they're doing still. *00:00* And it's I I will say the last night in my mind, I I think about this game sometimes. *00:00* Like they've been so vocal that it's coming out this year. *00:00* the other God of the last God of War game that came out. *00:00* So like absolutely now though we know what this game the reason people are so much so looking forward to this is because we know what it is and we're just excited about *00:00* I agree. *00:00* I agree. *00:00* I think it's their fall game. *00:00* I do think September is the perfect slot for it. *00:00* So they don't want to show any of that. *00:00* And I think that part two of this, and this has started to gain some traction online, and I think that this sounds I think that this sounds really feasible because it just of how you would sell the game. *00:00* um or at least closer to that is when I think they want this out. *00:00* to go buy the game once again myself and play a remade version of just that campaign. *00:00* For free. *00:00* company, especially for something as big as The Last of Us, which they know they can loot people into buying. *00:00* Um but yeah, the I like the more I think about it, the more it doesn't make sense to release these two different Last of Us related products like pretty close to one another and then yeah, ha charge sixty to seventy bucks a pop for both of them. *00:00* made which is why they wouldn't do it. *00:00* It's kind of like 110 or 15, I think. *00:00* The part that's going to hurt you, I think they're just gonna reboot it all. *00:00* I I think it's also really I I think it's really hard to whoever makes this game is not going to be Sucker Punch. *00:00* And it's most likely not going to be Sansaru, because Sansaru's with Facebook or Meta or whatever now. *00:00* Yeah. *00:00* time travelly warp thing or we just start over and he's I think we just are Bentley and Murray. *00:00* That's the core of it, is you keep Carmelita, Bentley Murray, and Sly all together, and then you can introduce new characters from there and do new things from that point. *00:00* You gotta think that like this game now, like this is a game aimed I mean obviously you and I are almost 30 and we sprint out to the store right away and purchase this on day one and be more than happy to play a new Sly Cooper game. *00:00* uh on PS5. *00:00* Especially when like I don't even think the other games are easily accessible at all. *00:00* Mascot character returns. *00:00* I won't go with that. *00:00* a reveal last event, big event or whatever. *00:00* So I'm gonna go total opposite of the Sly Cooper one where they're rebooting it. *00:00* 505 Games literally published it on PC. *00:00* Claim that the trademark and IP belong to Sony. *00:00* I think they'll be fine with showing gameplay, but I don't think they want to spoil the surprises or whatever yet. *00:00* I mean again this game uh this game will sell itself and they can come out with a real title later on. *00:00* So I think Bayonetta 3 is October 28th, 2022. *00:00* But that is a thing. *00:00* I think the next one could easily drop during the direct. *00:00* They announced this cast list like close to a year ago. *00:00* Cause I know last year there was a lot of rumors about it being a three D game and that this since then I think there's been other people saying no it's not a three D game. *00:00* These indie directs are too small for Silkson. *00:00* And I don't really know This year's pretty well mapped out. *00:00* up soon. *00:00* Thank you for joining me, Logan. *00:00* Which is all about Banjo Kazooie. *00:00* Wherever you listen to podcasts under the name Chapter Select. *00:00* I like it. *00:00* We're in April and May of this year and people are freaking out about like, oh, God of War is not releasing this year. *00:00* If it happens throughout these artificial dates that I said, then it's part of our programming. *00:00* Like that's why I think he's a a goofball is cause he's come up with this like I think the Game Wards is a great event. *00:00* Yeah, I have liked that event for a really long time and I think he does does a fantastic job with that. *00:00* Look at this though. *00:00* It is literally on the Summer Games Fest website as a part of their upcoming events. *00:00* to show people new things and then show off what would then be at the actual event. *00:00* First year though he was like, it's just uh a whole summer. *00:00* said Summer Game Festus is one central showcase thing and just pitched it as that, I would be ten times more okay with it. *00:00* Yeah, that's pretty good. *00:00* So we can go back and you know link to that if you want to hear what we thought last year. *00:00* Okay. *00:00* Come on. *00:00* Well, okay. *00:00* I've got like I've got like f I've got like I think I've got like thirteen or fourteen total. *00:00* Um five predictions for the big three, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo. *00:00* with the mentality of like what I say becomes true, I've definitely stripped qualifiers back because sometimes I get so close *00:00* One o'clock. *00:00* I think what happened with that, honestly, or maybe not what happened, I think that I think that game getting delayed is a byproduct of them being owned by Xbox now. *00:00* And they were like, yeah, we could get it out this year, but it's not gonna be perfect, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. *00:00* Taking more time, obviously. *00:00* engine. *00:00* And the movies this year, which I think is part of why it's scheduled for this year. *00:00* And it is set to launch in 2022. *00:00* But uh Star Wars Jedi Survivor just got announced. *00:00* It seems the Star Wars license is favored on the Sony side. *00:00* It's time, but it's always been time. *00:00* your 1x or your 1s, you could even stream it to the Xbox One. *00:00* Uh uh my my thing I'm recycling is uh Wolfenstein 3 I think has to be shown at this point. *00:00* I don't know when it's out next year. *00:00* So in the end, interim, what have they been doing? *00:00* This is just something that they've already said they're gonna do. *00:00* So anyway, alright, my last one. *00:00* We see it. *00:00* Um and I think they will show them off more extensively this year. *00:00* Just three totally new first party games as well, cause the main reason I'm predicting this is because Xbox has studios out the Wazoo at this point. *00:00* So I I think they've still just got a lot of studios doing a lot of different things that we aren't really aware of. *00:00* The hype around that is warranted because we know that that studio can put out good games. *00:00* So yeah, let's go. *00:00* I don't know. *00:00* What it is. *00:00* Look at this man. *00:00* Show a trailer, show some gameplay, maybe do some press previews, and that's it. *00:00* Rant over. *00:00* Like that is the main concern is that they go in some directions I'm not a huge fan of. *00:00* Now just delayed indefinitely. *00:00* Yes, he was injured. *00:00* That game the the thing about that game too sorry duh if you're gonna make your prediction it you you can release it whenever and people will buy it like it doesn't *00:00* feel kind of like the lightest months now this these days. *00:00* Santa Monica's trying to do the same thing here. *00:00* Do it. *00:00* Seven, eight years old. *00:00* People don't feel it is, but people don't feel can I feel like a lot of people wouldn't feel compelled to go buy it again. *00:00* Sony is seeking, they just bought, you know, they just bought Bungie. *00:00* I think Sony really wants to get into live service games badly, but they also don't strike me as a give it away to play. *00:00* Jim was just talking about how they expect that to grow, I think, to 300 million from like 70 million. *00:00* It could be this factions game, or you know, if it is bundled with The Last of Us remake, maybe the two of them together. *00:00* Live service game, you've got to have crossplay initiated. *00:00* Stuck in desert time Egypt land. *00:00* I don't know how many people are wait yeah. *00:00* Consult these other games that other studios made. *00:00* So it's the same length of gap. *00:00* the history of Sly as a character with, you know, his whole family's a bunch of thieves and then thieves. *00:00* thought process. *00:00* Uh but I'm with you there. *00:00* Yeah, they're making a multi I don't know if you know they're making a multiplayer game as well, right? *00:00* And I think that's a valuable asset, especially when you are launching a brand new VR platform that is at the forefront of VR technology right now, um, consumer-wise. *00:00* Yeah. *00:00* Um, Grantries Mob, what are we on? *00:00* Spider-Man, it's Marvel, it's different. *00:00* And my caveat on this one is I think Cole's involved somehow. *00:00* the start of the Kojima madness. *00:00* The tech is there, the engine is there, it's decima. *00:00* Kojima is his own entity. *00:00* sell I'm gonna own everything I make now because of what just happened. *00:00* I don't understand how another d developer would publish it. *00:00* That literally doesn't exist. *00:00* Is blue box working on that one right? *00:00* Uh, we have to make sure that this game is ready to go. *00:00* E through predictions. *00:00* If Nintendo shows off Zelda and Metroid, that's where that's what's gonna be the most hype for me no matter what. *00:00* If taking a shot at the whole mystery around like, oh well they do Mario Kart 9? *00:00* Um oh Marion Rabbits was the other thing I was thinking of. *00:00* Right now that season is in full swing. *00:00* I just up we have been doing E3 predictions, which I guess it's technically not that anymore, but *00:00* It will always be E3 to me. *00:00* And that, you know, that conference itself has really vanished, um, especially over the last three, four years. *00:00* sign not that like Nintendo approved the directs, you know, you can talk to your customers whenever you want. *00:00* speaking on a routine basis about these things that people feel like they need to speak about. *00:00* You will, yeah. *00:00* Microsoft's probably the most traditional in this regard. *00:00* hyped for this time of year now that everything has kind of fallen apart, like officially. *00:00* Uh I mean PSX used to be a thing, but it's not been that and even before the pandemic it wasn't a thing. *00:00* Run around like chickens with their heads cut off, freaking out that this game that there's what, seven, eight months left in the year and people are like, God, of course not gonna release this year, oh my gosh. *00:00* I think it almost seems like these playstation the people that are so uh I was gonna say discombobulated, but that's not the right word. *00:00* Like you can like I yeah. *00:00* Jeff Keeley's video game a Palooza is actually gonna grow and become a huge thing. *00:00* More so, especially when Sony doesn't seem to be having too many traditional like they don't have a big traditional press conference. *00:00* But there's prime gaming. *00:00* I guess. *00:00* were part of it. *00:00* No, I'll try to save you Peter I I think it But what if you plot to a slogan, what if for half of the game you played as Peter and then it when you're beating up Miles you uh switch and you start playing as Miles? *00:00* Hmm. *00:00* Mm-hmm. *00:00* Mario Kart 8 brought more money. *00:00* third party stuff and PSVR2 games. *00:00* And then Nintendo doesn't even have a date yet for any sort of event. *00:00* enough overflow to counter How straightforward are yours? *00:00* And so far because I have one qualifier that screws me over. *00:00* I don't know. *00:00* A thousand percent certain. *00:00* One o'clock Eastern Standard Time on June twelfth, Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase. *00:00* that a lot of their releases are. *00:00* Starlink. *00:00* So yeah, I mean Snowdrop is their engine, but Avatar is definitely a part of that. *00:00* Probably not. *00:00* I know uh I know like Battlefront and stuff like that used to be more tied to PlayStation, but but yeah. *00:00* What is your second Xbox prediction? *00:00* Uh I think s because EA's not doing EA play uh I think they're going to show off gameplay for this at Xbox's show. *00:00* That's not one I wrote down this year. *00:00* Maybe not the biggest, but amongst Starfield? *00:00* what the story uh basically showing off a lot of the general ideas of what this reboot is going to look like. *00:00* 45 second teaser trailer that shows the logo and pretty much nothing else. *00:00* Okay. *00:00* I think the Indiana Jones game is shown. *00:00* Indiana Jones like stuff I saw the poster or picture or whatever. *00:00* Last year. *00:00* I don't know if you know what this is. *00:00* Nathan Drake and Master Chief and Indiana Jones and Qui-Gon Jin. *00:00* That'd be great though. *00:00* I agree that next year, I think we see it. *00:00* shaken hands and agreed to make this game and we put together this little teaser and now we're gonna go make the game and please come work for us if that's something you're interested in. *00:00* Uh and so we're just really sold on this game because of the aesthetic and we have no idea if the game itself will actually be any good. *00:00* They are, yeah. *00:00* I wanna jump to PlayStation next. *00:00* Or I'll say this. *00:00* Uh, because if you are still releasing a first-party game for last-gen hardware over like two and a half, three years after your next gen console release, that like that's a problem. *00:00* A PlayStation merch site the other day just leaked that there's like a whole bunch of Ragnarok stuff releasing in September this year. *00:00* Excited for this game. *00:00* I really hope they deliver. *00:00* And Grand or I'm sorry, Forbidden West, and Gran Turismo. *00:00* have to. *00:00* Very smart of you. *00:00* Like I I don't think this game is in a really good spot. *00:00* The whole uh what is it? *00:00* So w I'm kind of making predictions here with that event in mind because I know we're not going to do predictions for that months down the road. *00:00* Keely's summer, whatever. *00:00* PlayStation meeting showcase what they give it a different title. *00:00* I think it will be uh oh yeah, the other part of it. *00:00* So close in quotes, I guess. *00:00* It actually also makes sense why Factions isn't out yet or has been shown off yet. *00:00* and do them together. *00:00* Uh, but I think that a major title gets a day and date launch on PC *00:00* God of War is on PC. *00:00* PS4 within the next couple years. *00:00* Sly Cooper franchise and lore and things like that. *00:00* It's not one of my predictions. *00:00* Now we're about to get a whole slate of games. *00:00* We're gonna stick with the sucker punch train here, sort of. *00:00* superhero storytelling in an original way. *00:00* Hadeo Kojima trailer for Death Stranding Tale. *00:00* I if I if I predicted that, I would add the caveat on that prediction personally that he would reveal it at Jeffrey Palooza because him and Jeff are boys. *00:00* I don't really care about it if I'm being honest and it feels just kind of a foregone conclusion at this point. *00:00* Yeah, I think we see this avatar video game. *00:00* My other my other one I'll I'll throw my other one out there unless you well go ahead. *00:00* Sony owns Death Stranding. *00:00* I think all of this is because they're getting ready to allow local emulation. *00:00* But I think they are not saying anything because they want this to be a pop-off kind of surprise, which would be a really good surprise. *00:00* Babylon's fall is going to cause platinum games to take a look within themselves and be like, okay, we can't do this again. *00:00* I'll go for some low-hanging fruit here, but I think this is pretty likely. *00:00* in this summer direct that they hold. *00:00* Just makes sense. *00:00* I mean people could technically hack and they could create or not hack. *00:00* So maybe it's the sequel to Barrel Blast that we've all been waiting for. *00:00* And it's shown off. *00:00* Fans around the world will weep as once and again Metroid Prime 4 will not appear. *00:00* Nintendo always feels like they have the potential to truly surprise. *00:00* I feel like there's like less mystery and excitement around them than there has been a while. *00:00* annual tradition at this point going on probably eight years strong now. *00:00* And then you can follow me on Twitter, Max Roberts143, and my writing over at maxfrequency. *00:00* concerns because it was always definite just the idea like, oh well we'll we'll hear about Spider-Manity three year we'll hear about God of War at this time. *00:00* the same as it has been for years, if not, you know, decades. *00:00* I mean now we'll talk about Nintendo and talk about how their fans are weird. *00:00* And then they have and then they sprinkle the indie worlds in between that. *00:00* When like you can just track the history of it. *00:00* Let us show your game off on our stage, which honestly helps Microsoft because they need more games to show. *00:00* Tencent. *00:00* It so basically Logan your your one PlayStation prediction that you got right was Spider-Man 2 is revealed and Black Suit Spidey confirmed. *00:00* You said Mario Kart 9 for holiday 2021. *00:00* But I do have some spicy ones. *00:00* Um, knowing that Sony typically like Sony has Spider-Man and Wolverine, and I think Guardians of the Galaxy was shown off on *00:00* And I think having a propriet you know, a first party mascot platformer *00:00* the other games they have in their pipeline. *00:00* I'll do this one. *00:00* Yeah. *00:00* The Keystone, I think is that. *00:00* shows its face, um, and gets ready for a holiday launch would be realistic. *00:00* I think it'll get shown off in a trailer. *00:00* Talk about a unintentional tongue twister. *00:00* Um so then at that point I think they will show something. *00:00* I don't know. *00:00* Your first PlayStation prediction. *00:00* Late December. *00:00* But if it is a September release date, like we both believe, that date has to be announced in June. *00:00* You can't show anything of what this game is going to do or where it's going to go without spoiling the story, I think. *00:00* There's ps they could be all cozy and the technical capabilities of PSVR2 are in line with the Valve Index as far as the type of finger tracking technology and the quality of the display. *00:00* to date alongside some other ones that really capture some other VR spirit, I think you could say that for BeatSaber or *00:00* Okay. *00:00* All the rum I don't know how much how f closely you follow this, but all the rumor and insider and reporter types are saying that it's seeming more likely that the big PlayStation event that we come to expect every year is probably gonna happen in September. *00:00* Which could also explain why it's been taking a little bit longer. *00:00* Again, I do the same thing every year, every January, it's predictions for the big three for the whole year. *00:00* Okay. *00:00* The one of the leading VR headsets, even in some ways better than the Valve Index. *00:00* we see it announced this week. *00:00* I think I think infamous is really coming back too. *00:00* uh media is more popular than it probably ever has been, that they don't have a bigger superhero IP of their own that they can sell. *00:00* Hmm. *00:00* I think we'll finally see actual gameplay from Breath of the Wild 2. *00:00* So I won't write this, but my prediction directly counters that. *00:00* And Bayonetta 2 was a mid-September release, so the fall is kind of the Bayonetta time slot traditionally. *00:00* They're Nintendo's big game in September is Splatoon 3. *00:00* Alright. *00:00* Um a new Donkey Kong game is finally happening. *00:00* Um but I think we will it does seem time for a new one of those. *00:00* And so Nintendo is where I must answer. *00:00* It's it's gonna be a good summer. *00:00* Uh, how big do you think that's gonna be this year? *00:00* Nope. *00:00* There's a no bigger stage like two guards. *00:00* ads in it and stuff and oh they don't even announce your bias because you were in an ad with the shit. *00:00* Um I think he does a good job. *00:00* Goofy cause I mean he's got the central showcase which he's now put together the past couple years. *00:00* Okay. *00:00* But but yeah, I I I I it's just yeah, I don't know. *00:00* Fifteen? *00:00* So Venom basically kills his mom in the comics. *00:00* Um and we both said no date, but they did give a date, which has since been delayed. *00:00* And they will not announce a new date. *00:00* like half releases, honestly. *00:00* Obviously we don't know what Starfield is right now or how it looks or how it's playing internally or anything like that, so it's hard to speak about what current state it might be in. *00:00* But you don't want like you don't want bugs that are problematic or like that are game breaking or anything like that. *00:00* I do think gameplay will be shown, but that was the extent of it. *00:00* Yeah, that's my Starfield prediction. *00:00* PlayStation stuff primarily, like that was the marketing partner for that, I think. *00:00* Okay. *00:00* Is the key. *00:00* Make it a hundred and fifty bucks. *00:00* Does this launch in tandem with an Xbox app that just works on your TVs? *00:00* And I've got one that's um more specific, but it's also yeah, which one do you want first? *00:00* I think it I don't I don't mean the game is coming out next year. *00:00* So that's not yeah. *00:00* So, okay, it was revealed at E3 2017, so it's been five years. *00:00* Five or four days. *00:00* Oh this man's putting a timeline on two parts of this prediction. *00:00* This is using that as a foundation to build up Ragnarok and then put it on PS4 and PS5. *00:00* Batman? *00:00* But it's gotta be the it's gotta be in June if it is a September release. *00:00* Shuhei Yoshida is super stoked that God of War and Horizon are playable on this uh the Steam Deck. *00:00* Uh I think we finally get Last of Us Remake confirmed. *00:00* A live sort of game. *00:00* skins or something with the physical the last of us or maybe you get the battle maybe you get the first battle pass or something. *00:00* Um I think Sly Cooper is indeed coming back. *00:00* It could still be done. *00:00* It's a weird time, especially for them to now we know what the console looks like. *00:00* All right. *00:00* I think that could be where we see it is next week. *00:00* literally anything of this other than like a teaser trailer for it. *00:00* Sony announces local PS3 emulation on PS5. *00:00* Like they would have they've clearly had the time to try and crack it. *00:00* I've chosen this date because the first Bayonetta came out on October 29th. *00:00* Bayo's out this year for sure. *00:00* Shadow dropping. *00:00* Yeah, that's a good one. *00:00* You're not wrong. *00:00* They've got a lot of like their next like 18 months pretty well mapped out. *00:00* Uh Pokemon later this year, you've got Breath of the Wild 3 next year, you've got um there's something else I was thinking of that's coming. *00:00* And I don't like it. *00:00* So like I said kind of at the top, we do this, we've been doing this for what now? *00:00* That would be pretty sick. *00:00* Yeah. *00:00* Oh my god. *00:00* Is shown off on Xbox's stage. *00:00* So I think we will very quickly see gameplay from Jet from Jedi Survivor. *00:00* see that game, um in a decent manner. *00:00* Fable is the thing that people are wanting to see the most. *00:00* I don't even have that muted. *00:00* Like below or something like that. *00:00* Like something like uh maybe you'll mention this later, I'm not planning on it, but like Silksong, I think, is something that's a w *00:00* The publisher as Raw Fury. *00:00* And with that, that that's Xbox and Bethesda, technically, even though they're owned by Xbox. *00:00* Like be near completion, but I really think it is. *00:00* That has to happen. *00:00* My prediction is not about God of War. *00:00* I also want to add, we didn't talk about this before we started going with PlayStation. *00:00* Possibly Vita. *00:00* When we don't need to get into this, but just when PSVR2 itself is launching, I personally think early 23, but it's just such a weird *00:00* Um I'll look that up while you tell me your fifth PlayStation prediction. *00:00* Surprise potential. *00:00* Personally, this is this is something I sort of always struggle with. *00:00* God of War, more last of us. *00:00* For all we know, we could get Super Mario Odyssey 2 out of the blue. *00:00* I mean even all the Mario Kart packs. *00:00* totally operating off of assumption here. *00:00* One's gonna happen here in June or July or some point. *00:00* It's I have I have one other question for you before we get to I I'm sorry, I'm not trying to lead the conversation, but I do have a genuine question though. *00:00* Jeff's just a goofball. *00:00* I do one last thing about Summer Games Fest. *00:00* Really, instead of listing everything we got wrong, it's better to just say You went O for five on PlayStation, he went one for five on Xbox. *00:00* So I'm gonna go ahead and start with Starfield because I feel like we both might have something to say about this. *00:00* Games using Snowdrop. *00:00* physical year outlooks or whatever, it seems obvious that this game is coming out between like probably like March next year is what seems most likely, either February or March. *00:00* Do broad now. *00:00* But yeah. *00:00* That doesn't make you want to play Fortnite. *00:00* Fingers crossed that one of them is Wolfenstein and one of them is Bancho Kazooie. *00:00* Okay. *00:00* Delayed to early this year. *00:00* Which may come up here in a bit. *00:00* No, that was not what I was gonna do. *00:00* remastering remake of The Last of Us, including multiplayer with it, because it originally launched the case. *00:00* So does factions also launch separately? *00:00* To to kind of play off of that, I think this is a good prediction to follow that up with. *00:00* That would be wild. *00:00* A developer that has not worked on this property previously, um, and I guess Sansaru was as well, but when Sly Cooper 4 came out, it was closer to the release of three. *00:00* Actually, some Sly Cooper trivia. *00:00* When and where, I don't know. *00:00* What is your what are we on? *00:00* Uh I think the Avatar game gets revealed at a PlayStation event, potentially the one this coming week. *00:00* My fifth and final prediction for PlayStation is absolute absurdity. *00:00* Well, to be fair, there's local PS1, PS2, and PSP emulation on PS5. *00:00* But I think the reason the PS Now library is so much smaller *00:00* Local downloadable PS3 games on PS5. *00:00* No. *00:00* Announce those new maps and release them. *00:00* All right. *00:00* I think that could I could see that happening. *00:00* Alright, well I'm gonna take this next super hopeful, maybe not obvious, but hopeful one. *00:00* But I feel like you could take the other one too. *00:00* Okay, my last one. *00:00* I get uh I guess that's it. *00:00* His j his actual event on Thursday. *00:00* You know, uh I'm looking at the Summer Games Fest page now and their partners are range from 2K to Activision Blizzards in there, which is like Xbox anyway. *00:00* So we've been doing this for about seven years now. *00:00* I didn't expect that, but if you really think about it, it is Mario Kart Knight. *00:00* I think that's a good thing. *00:00* That's a large open world Ubisoft game in the Avatar world. *00:00* What's super fascinating and potentially big for Microsoft with one of these devices is you pair it with an Xbox controller *00:00* And it's five hundred, three hundred, and one fifty. *00:00* You don't need to show that much. *00:00* So yeah, I I I think that this game is a thousand percent releasing this year. *00:00* So I think this this game has to come out this year. *00:00* I don't is the th like I this isn't part of my prediction, but I don't think it is. *00:00* So my question then is as a a person who loves buying physical games, this is a no-brainer. *00:00* Well they're also we talked about this before we went live too, I believe, but their projections for the PS5 sales and having it surpass *00:00* That is exactly who is prime for this type of game. *00:00* bad calls with when it comes to these like consumer friendly things that should just be a foregone conclusion. *00:00* Save it. *00:00* No, that means so firm. *00:00* Kind of was. *00:00* Massive entertainment, I think, is the division people. *00:00* This has been rumored for years. *00:00* This is like the kind of the piece in the streaming Game Pass puzzle that is missing at the moment. *00:00* It does need like people always talk about like big pillar fall releases. *00:00* And they you they slap a date on the end of it. *00:00* Sony is able to like you know snuggle back up to Valve. *00:00* But I think it PS3 emulation seems to be in a fairly decent state on PC. *00:00* I think that Mr. *00:00* Jack Black is Bowser. *00:00* Okay. *00:00* I think the fact that Retro keeps trailer. *00:00* Yeah, and then they have some other sp more specific directs like that as well. *00:00* I don't know if this is left field or not, because it's not an Xbox game. *00:00* I feel like this is something you're gonna say, so I'm gonna take it. *00:00* But I I I'll roll with it. *00:00* And it'll that'll that'll be the corporate synergy lining up perfectly because we'll by the time they hold their press conference next year, well they'll be two weeks out from a new Indiana Jones movie releasing. *00:00* This is internally what I've been trying to tell myself more about that game. *00:00* So you don't need to show that much of it. *00:00* And if it is, that is at next week's event. *00:00* It's just a remake, so it can't take that long to do, I wouldn't think. *00:00* So that was your second prediction? *00:00* The big three though, is I said probably the big three. *00:00* Xbox Game Pass is all about reaching as many people as possible, the widest audience, and the most access to the Xbox ecosystem and games and whatever games they can throw up there. *00:00* But I think I'm gonna go with my heart and say that the last night finally re-emerges *00:00* They have made VR games before. *00:00* PSVR when it launched was not at the forefront. *00:00* My first prediction, I'm gonna swoop in here. *00:00* That's the best Metroids ever done commercially. *00:00* Welcome to episode 15 of the Max Frequency Podcast. *00:01* I because I know you know when to expect it. *00:01* Can you believe it's been a decade of Mario Kart? *00:01* You prepared yourself in advance. *00:01* I think that's a Sunday, if I remember correctly. *00:01* Okay. *00:01* I just I'm thinking of like Knights of the Old Republic and I think EA partners more with Xbox anyway. *00:01* Uh a my third prediction. *00:01* So maybe this is my reuse. *00:01* You know, I think probably Resident Evil 4. *00:01* Whenever a large event happens that's not just smaller things they do. *00:01* I think PS4 is the fourth best-selling console of all time at the moment. *00:01* When you do it over there, double fine. *00:01* I've got enough then. *00:01* Uh what is your first prediction for the Big N? *00:01* I'll give a two-parter for this. *00:01* I like it. *00:01* It we all love Tencent. *00:01* Let's start with Xbox because they've got a show, they've got a date and everything. *00:01* Wow, okay. *00:01* But you know, Disney and Sony have kind of been cozy for a while. *00:01* I have a couple of selfish predictions, which is a dangerous game to play in the prediction world, because usually when you want something and you're selfish about it, it never comes true. *00:01* Do you remember that game? *00:01* But they publish a lot of stuff, dude. *00:01* If this game slips into next year and they don't by proxy cancel the PS of War version, then that's baffling to me. *00:01* We're gonna play Kratos. *00:01* It it has the power, it has the capability, and Half-Life Alex is arguably the definitive VR title. *00:01* I'm gonna borrow a prediction that I wrote in my big three predictions for twenty twenty two. *00:01* Will he be the protagonist? *00:01* My fourth pick is defensive because I don't think there's any way you pick my fifth one. *00:01* Mother 3 comes to it, but only in Japan. *00:01* I did better than you, didn't I? *00:01* I did I got absolutely nothing for PlayStation. *00:01* So I think we get it. *00:01* Okay, I think that makes sense. *00:01* I think I think God of War Ragnarok gets a release date before June 2022 comes to an end. *00:01* They are using PS4 assets to like build up. *00:01* I just think they'll say God of War Ragnarok is out on September, whatever. *00:01* Why do I need to not even that, but the PS4 version just came out in like what twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen? *00:01* I'd have to I'd have to double check the Vita, but they did do the PS3 HD ports of the original trilogy. *00:01* So I I just think a full-blown reboot at this point makes more sense. *00:01* Humor or excitement? *00:01* My fifth prediction Metroid Prime Forge has a trailer. *00:01* If you want your audience to go to IMAX movie theaters or to watch and engage, you don't do it at two PM on a Thursday. *00:01* We might we might hear a peep this summer at some point, probably in September. *00:01* That's so close. *00:01* Anyway, Logan, what is your first prediction for Xbox and Bethesda? *00:01* So and I think that's the game that one of the games that people are really the most excited about in Xbox's upcoming catalog. *00:01* Uh I think the logical choice would be almost what you said, like perfect dark. *00:01* I I I think sometimes these indie games get like way too much like anticipation and hype built up around them and then they can't deliver, especially from studios that we have not seen anything from. *00:01* I think they would be wise to, because I mean, uh obviously the the caveat with all of this is that the game has to *00:01* Do you buy it at a cheaper rate? *00:01* I I that seems to make sense. *00:01* Those guys are total hacks. *00:01* I am. *00:01* They were just those companies just decided to do it in proximity. *00:01* That shows off this world and shows off how this is gonna be different, and I think they show off some snippets of gameplay in that. *00:01* Like you could release it whenever and people would go buy it in droves. *00:01* I we've got this state of play next week, but this is that state of play next week is not the it big PlayStation event I think we're waiting for. *00:01* That's where we saw Ragnarok reappear. *00:01* At least the beginning of it. *00:01* Maybe not some specific. *00:01* Banjo and Smash was great. *00:01* Come on. *00:01* Did you create did you have the same window or did you just say dates and I just said gets a date, but that is what I'm saying? *00:01* But that th this is a game that's aimed uh somewhat more for younger audiences, so to make a like current Sly Cooper 5 *00:01* It seems to be more stable than I originally anticipated. *00:01* Save it. *00:01* I think that finally shows up and I think if I were to be super specific and really curse myself *00:01* I d you know, September, October, whatever it may be. *00:01* And we'll just have to keep calling it the untitled sequel to the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild until then. *00:01* Mentality and that becomes the name of the official name of the game. *00:01* You're you're number four, sir. *00:01* Nintendo's the only big one I don't actively don't see. *00:01* I would take the day off and just watch it all day. *00:01* I just know it's out next year. *00:01* Like, yeah. *00:01* Yeah, I say Gotham Knights, yeah. *00:01* I think that actually kinda at least explains why factions has been non existent from a, you know, public facing perspective. *00:01* So you think they're going full Xbox? *00:01* Against self-preservation. *00:01* I for my third prediction, I say that Game Boy games and systems are announced for NSL. *00:01* And then Xbox on the 12th. *00:01* Um I'm fine either way. *00:01* You go to the Summer Games Fest website upcoming events State of Pla *00:01* Part one. *00:01* And there's probably very limited things that they can show. *00:01* Um, yeah, we could. *00:01* I think they'll show the first trailer for the Mario movie in their big summer direct here blow up. *00:01* I'm sorry. *00:01* I think you should play as Peter beating the crap out of Miles because that would make you feel like way more conflicted as the player. *00:01* So I don't understand why direct peop people are always freaking out about when the directs are because we've got about ten years worth of data showing us when they're going to be You can literally go to the Nintendo Direct Wikipedia page and see *00:02* They showed the logo. *00:02* Spa save the specificity for your fifth. *00:02* Yeah, I do I. *00:02* Last night at the Xbox stage once again, hopefully. *00:02* It says best uh best dad in Midgard. *00:02* My my two cents on Ragnarok is yes, I do think it gets a date. *00:02* So I I think you're kind of killing that uh people are still gonna look to buy a PS five, don't get me wrong. *00:02* Think that'll happen? *00:02* I think they would want a trailer though because of how successful Metroid Dread was last year. *00:02* I was gonna ask you that for let me just ask you that first off. *00:02* Like I it they feel more corporate now, which is the thing I don't like about PlayStation. *00:02* Yeah. *00:02* And I think some of that jank I a lot of people talk about this, myself included. *00:02* There's like there's a Greek what it what is the freaking pantheon? *00:02* Yeah, this is the whatever w whenever these companies I mean Nintendo may not have a big event until July or something. *00:02* Do they really? *00:02* I don't know if you have to I too had a Starfield prediction, but I'm not this won't count as it just to play off of you. *00:02* So we're less than a year out from this game, so they're they gotta start showing gameplay. *00:02* Yeah, yeah, yeah. *00:02* Um, okay, Indiana Jones. *00:02* And I think they will. *00:02* He'll say Avengers assemble and it'll be great. *00:02* They have that Tekken engine ready. *00:02* I think we see an iconic *00:02* Shut up, no. *00:02* Yeah, that was you just wanted to say that because I No, that was my second pr that that was my second prediction. *00:02* Yep. *00:02* Like we know certain games that are lined up and should be coming out. *00:02* Yeah, because now people are getting really weird with PlayStation and how PlayStation communicates things, which I think's warranted because we don't know what to really expect from that anymore. *00:02* This is this is a conversation, Logan. *00:02* That would be sick. *00:02* That's a good one. *00:02* I think that there was literally a report the day we were recording this, there was a new report about this literally yesterday. *00:02* It that if it if it was scheduled for June, I think June would be the perfect slot. *00:02* There will be microtransactions, probably battle passes or survival passes or whatever they call it. *00:02* I don't know if they can probably cheap to like give factions away for free. *00:02* I feel like I feel like all the Mario Kart DLC packs have kind of uh ruined or not necessarily ruined but like *00:02* Take more time to get it away from being the janky Bethesda gate day one game. *00:02* The division. *00:02* Exactly. *00:02* People will sprint out to buy this whenever you release it. *00:02* It's a ballsy prediction though. *00:02* The edge that San Zaru had was that they did the PS3 *00:02* Uh who knows? *00:02* Uh my other prediction for the record, I was just gonna predict Silent Hill, but that's again. *00:02* I I think we're gonna finally see it this summer. *00:02* I'm sorry. *00:02* Who knows? *00:02* Then Sparks of Hope, Avatar. *00:02* I'm I I don't know if I'm just a traditionalist, but Nintendo's gotta go last. *00:02* They really do not want to show much of what this game is going to have in store because it's literally Ragnarok. *00:02* I I I think Infamous is a unique way for them to tap into the desire that people have for *00:02* Pretty sure Kojima might own Death Stranding. *00:02* Like I feel like there's a lot of things that they're working on that we don't really to be honest. *00:02* Uh probably Wolfenstein 3. *00:02* He appears in Fortnite? *00:02* Again, this is very broad, but I'm going to um *00:02* Uh uh to to the other to the original game is that they say, Hey, we totally remade this factions thing that we've been promising and it's packed in here as well, and you're gonna want to check this out just for this alone. *00:02* It basically, long story short, like i if they could meet demand right now, they are saying that demand of the PS5 is higher than demand of what the PS4 was at this same point. *00:02* It could have been a part of the deal early on. *00:02* For you fine listeners, you can find Logan on Twitter at Moreman12, and he's writing over at comicbook. *00:02* He knows how to put on a show. *00:02* It'll just be the broad window. *00:02* What is your third Sony prediction? *00:02* Insomniac is a massive studio. *00:02* And you better believe if a Banjo Kazooie game is announced, we will eventually play it for that season. *00:02* Okay. *00:02* Um again, I'm looking into Summer Game Fest thing now, and he has now added the next week's state of play to the list of Summer Game Fest programs. *00:02* I think he does as good of a job as you can do with something like that. *00:02* I mean, yeah, but Mario Kart 8 is right up there. *00:02* I think I thought we said three the other night when we were talking in your car. *00:02* Is it 10, 15 bucks? *00:02* Yeah, they just kind of we can see the scope of that game in a way. *00:02* Is it seven? *00:02* I don't know. *00:02* Ubisoft will have a game, Warner Brothers will probably show a Harry Potter demo. *00:02* S a new Starfield trailer will appear at Summer Games Fest. *00:02* So and I also feel like because we decided to do chapter select on banjo, now that means a new banjo game will be announced. *00:02* That's where I'm at. *00:02* I don't know. *00:02* They really do. *00:02* And and you and I have talked we uh we haven't talked about this in the confines of a podcast, but I don't think people remember what the timeline was like with *00:02* Since we beat the first game, like literally, I beat the last game and I said, wow, whatever the sequel to this is is now my most anticipated video game. *00:02* The delay situation with that game's different though because what's his name? *00:02* I don't know how many people are waiting to see uh that game's uh story continue. *00:02* There is an Indiana Jones prediction you could make that would involve something very fa happening very soon. *00:02* They were super quiet leading up to like three months before launch and then they were like, okay, we have a date. *00:02* This'll be a good game for you to play before you're a dad. *00:02* Like I think if you want to give the studio creative freedom to do what they want with a new Sly Cooper, you just say slap the reset button and let's see what you can do with it. *00:02* Sorry. *00:02* One one l one final question for you. *00:02* They kind of do a Gamescom thing, a summer thing, and end of the year. *00:02* Who doesn't? *00:02* I don't know. *00:02* We do this every year. *00:02* And you you sir were saying you they were a thousand percent certain when they said eleven, eleven, twenty. *00:02* So that's my at least two cents on that one. *00:02* I think that's what I saw that. *00:02* Like another indie game that we were like very hyped about for a very, very long period of time. *00:02* It's gonna be the sequel to literally the best-selling PlayStation game ever created *00:02* Same thing with Ragnarok was supposed to be, I think, end of last year *00:02* Uh so I think Infamous is coming back. *00:02* That game is coming clearly. *00:02* Silkson is a big stage game. *00:02* Always is. *00:02* Yeah. *00:02* Whoa. *00:02* That's a big if that comes out this year, that's a really big game. *00:02* Uh people at the studio have said it and Pete Hines, the kind of the pseudo-face of Bethesda has said, yeah, we'll make this game at some point. *00:02* Oh, you're right. *00:02* You gotta have one shadow drop prediction for E3. *00:02* Well that's how we rounded out this fine year. *00:02* And I guess moving into the future. *00:03* I think Ubisoft and Xbox are gonna show that off. *00:03* Okay. *00:03* I guess a fire stick, probably. *00:03* So what how much is an Xbox controller? *00:03* Yeah. *00:03* Despite there being already a lot of games that we need to see, I'm going to very broadly predict that they announce three new first-party games as well. *00:03* And I think it is way closer than people think. *00:03* That stuff's hard. *00:03* And I I think the reason I'm predict I'm predicting a reboot here is because four came out like a decade ago. *00:03* I think we'll see people jumping onto some animals and hooking up their tail tails on the ammo. *00:03* Are you sure? *00:03* I want to say like ten month ten nine ten months ago. *00:03* Yeah. *00:03* They're just simple, but they're spicy. *00:03* All that stuff behind. *00:03* I think the fact that Retro keeps putting out job listings though, and they're like, hello, come help us make this game. *00:03* I mean, look at this. *00:03* That's interesting. *00:03* It's like that. *00:03* Yeah. *00:03* I think the Indiana game jump is shown off. *00:03* Like the only thing they they could just make some bad story decisions, I think, is the only thing I'm concerned about. *00:03* Um I should be on brand a little bit. *00:03* Um that s sort of fell in line with one of the possible predictions. *00:03* If I say sly, it won't happen. *00:03* It's not seven, isn't it? *00:03* That uh that is also not one of my predictions. *00:03* You and I talked about this the other night. *00:03* Mm-hmm. *00:03* This upcoming week on June first, the nuts and bolts episode is dropping. *00:03* Don't get bigger because Jeffrey will force it to get bigger. *00:03* Uh yeah, games coming out in a broken state and being fixed later. *00:03* So yeah. *00:03* Yeah, that feels like it's bound to happen at some point. *00:03* That totally could happen. *00:03* That's where we saw Spider-Man. *00:03* So like where's the date? *00:03* Will he be whole but in your world anything's possible? *00:03* Another publisher published it on PC. *00:03* I think that one's pretty straightforward, pretty simple. *00:03* That's due to come out at some point. *00:03* But you know, it's that time of year again, that magical time in the summer when video game news comes out and uh *00:03* Yeah, and there it's a pretty pretty normal cadence. *00:03* Anything that happens throughout the summer is uh tied to Game Fest. *00:03* We'll see. *00:03* I think it's coming out this year. *00:03* So that I mean that that makes sense. *00:03* You did, because you got two half points for Nintendo. *00:03* Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle. *00:03* So if you wanna if you want me to uh jot down this one prediction for next year. *00:03* It would be the right move to make, but everything we have seen from Sony over the past like 18 months has been truly maybe even longer has been like *00:03* Okay. *00:03* So Nintendo was a little harder for me to put together this year if I'm being honest. *00:03* Because uh the one thing I tried to do this year I will say is add a lot of qualifiers to mine. *00:03* I think the only Star Wars things I have muted is like OB One and then the word Star Wars, so which probably was enough. *00:03* Yeah, Raw Fury. *00:03* Alright. *00:03* The characters of Sly Cooper is what makes that series. *00:03* I mean, Sony self publishes its games on PC. *00:03* But yeah, Game Boy Games coming to NSL, I think, is the happening. *00:03* We're gonna end on what I like to call an anti-prediction. *00:03* Possibilities. *00:03* They're giving fresh tracks and it's the same thing. *00:03* Your meme filters were too strong for Star Wars celebration, is what I'm hearing. *00:03* If I if the Uncharted being in Fortnite couldn't get me in there, I don't know what will. *00:03* Like I already predicted that we'll see Fable in a new way. *00:03* But it could be a one more thing at the end of the state of play, just like, and one more thing. *00:03* I'm sorry. *00:03* The other one's really not that exciting. *00:03* Donkey Konga 2. *00:03* I mean something's coming. *00:03* Pretty sure they had pretty sure they teamed up with Xbox for marketing on the first game is why I say this. *00:03* This is the only one I'm gonna recycle and I'm sorry. *00:03* I think that game That would make me hype. *00:03* Um and I think these things are ready to go. *00:03* All this stuff is and in their forecast meeting, their fiscal year meeting, you know, they talked about how that's a huge thing going forward. *00:03* That could be shown off. *00:03* I think Final Fantasy is a game that could make sense to appear and I think this is another one. *00:03* Yeah. *00:03* Seth Rogan is Donkey Kong. *00:03* The thing I think that's bizarre about with them is that *00:03* If you want clicks, just write about when you think the next direct will be. *00:03* And last year was no different. *00:03* Spicy. *00:03* Alright, let's calm down. *00:03* Heartache. *00:03* So mine are a bit more direct. *00:03* I'll say that in advance. *00:03* I think we see it next year. *00:03* Alright. *00:03* Okay. *00:03* I don't think people understand that like if I was the person making this game, I would not want to show off anything of it. *00:03* Yeah. *00:03* I haven't played it, but I think that falls in line. *00:03* Sly Cooper 3 came out September of 2004 and Sly Cooper Thieves and Time came out February 2013. *00:03* And then they use that to build Thieves in Time. *00:03* I didn't I forgot if that's a thing. *00:03* The highs, the lows. *00:03* It was a white spider on a black background. *00:03* Maybe where it came from. *00:03* So yeah, I think that shows up on Xbox's stage. *00:03* Uh so today we the day we're recording this at least, so by the time this is in your ears, you know that this is a thing. *00:03* Like I I I really hope we do see it come back at some point, but I'm trying to like temper my expectations greatly if we do. *00:03* Like, again, like a a lot of people have been keep thinking that this game is getting pushed, and I am in the complete opposite camp. *00:03* It was using PS3 move controllers and other technology. *00:03* You see Netflix, psionics. *00:03* But you're at least referencing the event. *00:03* PlayStation ended it the night, yeah. *00:03* Um I think the biggest game that Xbox *00:03* Not bigger than Starfield. *00:03* And I think we finally see that show back up. *00:03* But I I didn't know that, but oh look, December 3rd, 2021. *00:03* But like the the trailers for something like that were very sparse in a lot of ways. *00:03* I think they're gonna start over they're gonna soft reboot the series and they're gonna do a complete reset of Slide. *00:03* Your fourth? *00:03* Ooh. *00:03* Gotta go with the strategic player. *00:03* The gaming market does, that's for sure. *00:04* I mean people talk about GTA a lot as being milked, but *00:04* I won't go that far, but I do think we finally start to get a better idea of what this is other than just a *00:04* And let me tell you why. *00:04* Last year I said Indiana Game Jones gameplay. *00:04* Yes. *00:04* But I don't think I don't think we do now. *00:04* Um and again, something this kind of ties in with Wolf. *00:04* So that that's the big difference here, is that that was the big blowout for the original game. *00:04* Because he lost his baby that he'd spent thirty something years making. *00:04* Oh, I'm surprised neither one of us predicted a band in showing up on stage. *00:04* I think this one's on your list. *00:04* And I think it'll slip to early next year. *00:04* Shigi Shigeru Miyamoto himself will once again appear. *00:04* But thank you all so much for listening to this episode of the Max Frequency Podcast. *00:04* I'm your host, Max Roberts, and I am here, not as always, but I am here with Logan Moore. *00:04* So that's a very like that's quietly a very big game. *00:04* I know, but they announced this at Star Wars Celebration is what I'm saying. *00:04* Yeah, I think so too. *00:04* Or do you buy or is it free to play in the battle passes where they make their money? *00:04* I think Death Stranding 2 gets the reveal. *00:04* That is a thing that I think will happen though, is that it will slip the next year. *00:04* Why is it at 2 p. *00:04* And then let's see. *00:04* So I don't think that's all of their like summer stuff. *00:04* And again, it's just another one of those promised announcements from Xbox. *00:04* So hopefully. *00:04* So Same. *00:04* And they will announce I don't know if it's 2D or 3D though. *00:04* You're fine. *00:04* This is a very loose episode. *00:04* Do you think that's gonna I guess well specifically we can talk about it this year and maybe we can talk about uh w with our own predictions *00:04* The way I remember that is it was the whatever year Kojima got kicked out of Konami is the year we did it. *00:04* Like when we were younger though, it was that Monday. *00:04* So insmm my first Xbox prediction. *00:04* Gameplay-wise though, fully expect to be thrown Molnier around as Kratos, so like that'll be fun. *00:04* There are there are two scenarios I envision. *00:04* Um since you took God of War, I feel like I need to be not that we're you need to take the last of us. *00:04* I'm not this is not uh maybe you have a prediction for this and if you do then you don't have to say but you think we see that horizon VR game that Gorilla's working on next week? *00:04* People are freaking out about God of War over here and this game's still coming out in 2022 and we literally know nothing about it. *00:04* So you're number three, sir. *00:04* I think they want a trailer to keep that momentum going a little bit. *00:04* Like even outside of the some of the things we talked about. *00:04* So for sure. *00:04* He does a good job. *00:04* Yes, it is a Sunday because the fifth is a Sunday. *00:04* Uh so that won't be out until probably 2024 or five, I would guess. *00:04* I think I think the big star uh additions of the next season of Fortnite are going to be Darth Vader and Indiana Jones. *00:04* So let's start with PlayStation here. *00:04* That's where we saw Wolverine. *00:04* Anyway, whenever that happens, I am saying September. *00:04* This one I think they're gonna make a pseudo-sequel to the old infamous games. *00:04* And he's like, okay, well then just push it. *00:04* Sure, that was a few years ago. *00:04* I think they show it off though. *00:04* Yes. *00:04* Both of those games were originally supposed to come out last year. *00:04* Naughty Dog's never made a PC game before. *00:04* I think it does get a proper name, but no date or like game or no gameplay. *00:04* Who are you most excited about right now? *00:04* I'm here for it. *00:04* And then maybe sometimes there's another full-blown one like later in like last December I think they did a direct and that was a little bit different. *00:04* So we did five predictions last year and we're only doing what three this year we decided, right? *00:04* The 27th of May is the day we're recording this. *00:04* So yeah. *00:04* We know what Team Cherry can produce. *00:04* Yeah, they they uh they published the one of the partners for the Summer Games Fest. *00:04* Uh let's just get this uh uh get another one right off the table here. *00:04* And I will eat those words if it doesn't happen, but I am just supremely confident that it is. *00:04* COVID's a part of it. *00:04* I their PC sales are were very good. *00:04* The trademark filings and all that stuff, based off a few websites I went around, Sony owns it. *00:04* Alright, I'm just gonna get mine right now. *00:04* That'd be good. *00:04* They could create Japanese Switch. *00:04* Nintendo still has not announced any sort of event in June. *00:04* And I really have nothing bad to say about the game awards, even though I know people hate the *00:04* But I actually went back, grabbed our predictions out of the show notes. *00:04* And then let's see. *00:04* Um I think now's the time. *00:04* In fact, the fact that they confirmed that uh what's his name's even alive, I I'm surprised they tip their hand to. *00:04* So I think Last of Us Remake is announced at their September event. *00:04* Like how do how do you make a f a fifth mainline entry in this series when you're not giving people easy access to one through four? *00:04* Maybe it'll come back next year, but probably not. *00:04* So there's usually an indie world. *00:04* I think a lot of this I think this is where the third parties are gonna start to go. *00:04* A Game Pass streaming stick device is officially revealed. *00:04* Why? *00:04* I just wanna I one more thing too. *00:04* I think this will be like their late fall game, like a November-ish window. *00:04* This was before the PC initiative stuff. *00:04* So that and I don't know if I I gotta add the caveat. *00:04* Um This is a prediction last year that I think one of us made, but I will make it now, but I'm gonna be less specific as I make it. *00:04* That doesn't mean that they're not putting out good games still, but it's just like kind of know what they're doing for the most part. *00:04* And I think if they just did have the regimented we'll talk at E3 and we'll talk at the end of the year it *00:04* I directly countered you with New Metro Game Does Not Make an Appearance. *00:04* Like I think now more than ever people are getting fed up with these like uh *00:04* Uh and all they announced it with was just a teaser trailer. *00:04* And you can do that in a three or four month span here. *00:04* So yeah, I b God of War is coming out. *00:04* Maybe digital only? *00:04* It is like GT7 could come to PSVR, like all that is possible and exciting to think about, but *00:04* Uh it's getting kind of absurd. *00:04* It's not an indie world direct. *00:04* It could be one of those fights where you play both sides. *00:04* So that app may launch alongside it. *00:04* That's the 1000% it. *00:04* I th I I'll say I'll I guess my response to that, so the Indiana Jones movie r releases next June. *00:04* Dude, you could release that game in what's the worst window to release a game? *00:04* They had a partnership for Portal 2. *00:04* That could happen. *00:04* They made the concrete genie game. *00:04* It's Reggie's favorite game. *00:04* So yeah. *00:04* You for Xbox you got very close. *00:04* 70 bucks? *00:04* Probably not in tandem, but we know that uh *00:04* I think September's the perfect slot for that game *00:04* But you have to Ragnarok's also coming to PS4 which has like a hundred and forty million consoles anyway. *00:04* They could put it on PS plus premium. *00:04* I remember hearing that somewhere. *00:04* I think we're gonna get a new Infamous game announced at some point. *00:04* I think the next DLC pack for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is out today. *00:04* This movie's less than a year out from releasing. *00:04* Ideally we're not overlapping, so I've got *00:04* And that the third one can be whatever. *00:04* I'll say mine. *00:04* I do think this will get bigger though, because I think there is eyes on this and that's all that matters. *00:05* Not honestly. *00:05* But I'm I'm scared you'll take it. *00:05* Norse. *00:05* That's fine. *00:05* Um But yeah, I think a major title gets a day-and-date launch on PC. *00:05* I know that that was one of the that was *00:05* But I'm shocked that in an age where superhero *00:05* I think that that actually will happen. *00:05* Like, are you still as *00:05* Yeah. *00:05* Um like, are you making are you making any specific predictions today that I guess involve that showcase in particular? *00:05* You were on episode nine. *00:05* I mean it's like one of their main engines. *00:05* Amongst hardcore fans, I think *00:05* I will play off of that *00:05* Uh because they've already said they're going to make this game. *00:05* Um, but Steamless *00:05* Or it is just about third parties and PSVR too. *00:05* So this is a prediction that's gonna hurt you. *00:05* You know, there was a rumor that Resident Evil 8 is coming there. *00:05* At least in the sucker punch revival train. *00:05* They really are. *00:05* And it's actually a very funny two-parter. *00:05* That would be That would be truly incredible. *00:05* Like where is that game? *00:05* Yeah. *00:05* It's always fun. *00:05* I really feel like that shifted when Layden left, for sure. *00:05* That's fine. *00:05* Summer Games Fest on the 9th. *00:05* That may be. *00:05* But yeah. *00:05* But I think that the Avatar game *00:05* That's my that's my fifth and final prediction. *00:05* So I really don't think they have to do a lot of marketing on it. *00:05* There are leaks out the wazoo about this game. *00:05* Yeah. *00:05* Actually, we'll get into this here with my next prediction. *00:05* If I say classic, it opens up Jack and Daxter and other things. *00:05* We know what the controllers do. *00:05* I get that that doesn't make sense, but I think he will be in it. *00:05* I don't know if that's true. *00:05* The secondary caveat I will add to this though is that they will still not give us the game's real title. *00:05* That'd be great. *00:05* They need an October game currently because Pokemon is November, presumably. *00:05* I do think Donkey Kong is coming back. *00:05* And granted, they're creating new stuff and all that, but they had a solid foundation. *00:05* What's out in October this year? *00:05* And we've thought that they're gonna be two individual products for a really long time, but it's just gonna be a single thing. *00:05* But you saying that they could be bundled together totally makes sense to me. *00:05* Good point. *00:05* That makes sense. *00:05* I mean yeah the thing the thing the thing I think it's always weird about *00:05* No, Jeff, Xbox and Bethesda Showcase is not actually part of GamerFest, just cause you say it is. *00:05* m. *00:05* I think there is a sort of like charm in their games being a little janky, but it's like *00:05* You should be able to dual wield the Leviathan axe in Mulnir. *00:05* They have the know-how. *00:05* I make fun of Jeff a lot. *00:05* This, like, and I know Jeff is doing some sort of a in-person event this year, I believe. *00:05* I'm not. *00:05* You'll be fine. *00:05* So this is just to get it on the record before the summer madness starts and leaks and things like that. *00:05* So let's start *00:05* 60, 70 bucks? *00:05* I'm curio I'm really curious about that event next week. *00:05* But I really think I don't think they do it, but I think the one that would be bonkers is Ragnarok. *00:05* Is Mario Kart 9 gonna be a thing? *00:05* Because Nintendo's been like this for years *00:05* It's by massive, I believe. *00:05* I think this just gives Xbox some of that uh panache. *00:05* Yeah. *00:05* But this is the last piece, and I think *00:05* Yeah, you don't need God of War does not need to be in the fall. *00:05* Yeah, Norse. *00:05* I think PlayStation is going to make a new Sly Cooper game. *00:05* Um, and I think you want one of your best teams making a game for that. *00:05* Yeah. *00:05* Yeah. *00:05* I'm all about it. *00:05* Every summer I know *00:05* But that makes sense because you're having a trade show where you're gonna show off video games *00:05* on a Thursday? *00:05* Yeah, I think I I'm gonna guess they had some obviously like candid conversations behind the scenes *00:05* It's called Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. *00:05* Now you can take it by storm. *00:05* I just think that naturally has pushed everything back to this year. *00:05* Anyway, Half-Life Alex coming to PSVR too. *00:05* Good point. *00:05* It's always predictions are just part of the E3 fund. *00:05* No, the reason I'm invoking this is because in the comics, Miles' mom dies because of Venom. *00:05* That uses Snowdrop. *00:05* I'm hoping it's not gonna end up being like the next *00:05* I think they'll just do a blog post. *00:05* So they had a big September event last year. *00:05* But I think the way that they offset the fact that people will be put off by a remake happening so close to the release of *00:05* So, but anyway, it's possible. *00:05* And if the community can crack it, Sony can crack it. *00:05* Silkson actually shows up. *00:05* So and Xbox has just got to release games. *00:05* Um obviously he claims that all of these things are part of his, which is not true. *00:05* Nintendo, you said we both said Breath of the Wild sequel would be shown off. *00:05* Am I wrong? *00:05* I just think it's too early. *00:05* They had to do something. *00:05* Yeah. *00:05* And I'm I I think we see it. *00:05* Yeah, I mean I I usually think Nintendo is one of the ones I'm most excited about. *00:05* Like this is gonna be the hodgepodge *00:05* But the first uh this is year three of it. *00:05* That was great. *00:05* And what a time. *00:05* Like he's just gonna talk about how that would be great if he says that. *00:05* I think *00:05* Well wouldn't that make more sense to show next year? *00:05* Uh I agree. *00:05* There's usually an early portion of the year direct, there's the summer direct, there's one and usually around like September, August, September area *00:05* Yeah, they just did it in proximity to the event. *00:05* Okay. *00:05* There's like three parts. *00:05* So three phases. *00:05* Massive Entertainment. *00:05* Qui-Gon Jin's not really in it, but *00:05* Yeah. *00:05* Christopher Judge said that he like couldn't do *00:05* I'm pretty sure Kojima, because I'm pretty sure after the fallout of the Konami stuff, Kojima's like, yeah, I'm gonna *00:05* Dude, I think that *00:05* And then Sony, I think, took that to heart. *00:06* I love that event. *00:06* Um and I think this is where they do that. *00:06* Yeah something like that. *00:06* Um one of these is very bland and I don't uh *00:06* Really quick real-time follow-up *00:06* Okay. *00:06* There's usually like a Pokemon direct *00:06* Mm-hmm. *00:06* Anyway, it's it's essentially that bad. *00:06* Um because people I mean this is it's going on two years since that was announced. *00:06* Which I think is actually me reusing a prediction from *00:06* Do you think the event Tuesday is where we get the date? *00:06* I do think it's this year. *00:06* Will Sony do it? *00:06* Yeah. *00:06* Um, any studio coming in now is not gonna have that sort of edge or learning experience with the franchise. *00:06* You keep those sort of like core elements of the series intact, but then you just have like a whole new root starting point. *00:06* I'm so confident in the absurdity of my third pick. *00:06* The other one though is funny because of what you predicted earlier. *00:06* I'm gonna just again start with probably the thing we're thinking of the most with this company, which is Breath of the Wild. *00:06* net. *00:06* But now but the look at the now Xbox does it *00:06* At that event, they will show roughly 20 minutes of gameplay in total of Starfield. *00:06* I don't know. *00:06* Um get those little streaming sticks under the Christmas tree, in the stockings. *00:06* And I'm not Recycle away. *00:06* It will. *00:06* Thank you. *00:06* I mean, yes, it's The Last of Us. *00:06* Like what is the gameplay there? *00:06* I think that game gets *00:06* Uh Bayonetta 3 will get delayed to 2023. *00:06* And there's been a lot of rumors going around about that happening. *00:06* And that's just how this works. *00:06* Yeah. *00:06* Like that's funny. *00:06* And Hollow Knight is one of the best. *00:06* You know, it's the Vita 2 that never was. *00:06* Um they've been working on factions for a long time. *00:06* Um Yeah, I think it would *00:06* But if you have a live service game, you want PC players there. *00:06* You think in the wake of this PS Plus premium rollout that they're gonna do that? *00:06* You do. *00:06* Especially because people are wondering where the heck they're going. *00:06* Uh and that blew up. *00:06* It's a big boy stage game. *00:06* Nintendo will not mention it at all. *00:06* Nintendo, I feel like, has shown a lot of its hand. *00:06* I mean, but you've got PlayStation there too, and you've got Ubisoft and Xbox and *00:06* Well so I'd have to jot down a few others here on the fly, but that's okay. *00:06* But if a giant smashes you *00:06* Because that movie is coming out next year. *00:06* I think we might see Perfect Dark or something like that too. *00:06* I also did have a naughty dog one, but you've taken it. *00:06* I'm disputing this. *00:06* It's not good emulation, but it's there. *00:06* October 28th is a Friday. *00:06* They did a they did a swap in the uh other game though where his dad dies instead. *00:06* So I'm fine. *00:06* Because I I think they have really started to see *00:06* That's a very, very big game. *00:06* I I think it's time. *00:06* I couldn't no no I couldn't remember that. *00:06* I'm gonna I'm gonna say Half-Life Alex is coming to PSVR2. *00:06* Thank you for once again joining me for this. *00:06* It's, you know, I think it's it will get bigger because there's no *00:06* All I'm saying is I missed that so much. *00:06* I said Starfield only gets a trailer and no gameplay. *00:06* I think Keystone gets its name, uh like product revealed. *00:06* Yeah. *00:06* A whole bunch of new Ragnarok merch is hitting the internet and being shipped to people and sold to people this year. *00:06* When people when when the and r when the reports first started coming up that like, oh they're remaking The Last of Us, people were like, well this game's like *00:06* PS2 had 150. *00:06* I think but I think that PS3R2 from Insomniac makes sense. *00:06* If he wow big I don't know if *00:06* How is 505 games publishing that on PC if *00:06* I don't think it's releasing this year. *00:06* That game would be that that would be really cool if uh you do get Black Su Spidey in that game and then there's like a boss battle with Miles. *00:06* You know, I honestly didn't understand. *00:06* They were exclusive levels. *00:06* So whoever whatever studio makes this is going to be a new company. *00:06* Yeah. *00:06* Um The only guide is E3 predictions. *00:06* Indiana Jones is coming to Fortnite. *00:06* I I would just like to say I don't get excited about games very much anymore, but I am so *00:06* Like June, September. *00:06* And really quick, also they already put out a killer trailer for this game which showed off gameplay and narrative stuff. *00:06* Like it's very much *00:06* It's twenty f it was twenty fourteen. *00:06* Bayonetta 3 release date revealed. *00:06* So we haven't had a normal direct since February. *00:06* I think he does a fantastic We get together every year for the Game Wards *00:06* I might talk about the event a couple times. *00:06* I can't remember. *00:06* Um so yeah, I I I think it's time for us to finally *00:06* They can do something like that. *00:06* I think that that we're nearing the time to see more of that. *00:06* And even next year. *00:06* You know? *00:06* Like you got strikers within the next month, you've got Xenoblade over the summer, you've got *00:06* And they sprinkle some stuff throughout. *00:06* Steam. *00:06* But it's because he *00:06* I think it gives Xbox a little bit of that Disney thunder. *00:06* I just feel like *00:06* Okay. *00:06* Stadia uses a Chromecast for it. *00:06* But I think the streaming stick *00:06* I have my *00:06* I guess just Modern Warfare, Gotham Mall of Duty, and Forspoken *00:06* We're gonna your fourth production. *00:06* But uh *00:06* I mean we can go at odds it it with each other on that one. *00:06* Yeah. *00:06* E3 never claimed that any of the press conferences *00:06* Um *00:06* Um Okay, I've got one that's really broad. *00:06* And I don't know. *00:06* So they became intimately familiar with *00:06* I think he will be in the game somehow. *00:06* Logan and I also host a seasonal podcast called Chapter Select. *00:06* So I really respect what he does with the Game Awards. *00:06* And that's what's off-putting to me about it. *00:06* My sweet sweet baby Nintendo was what I called that episode. *00:06* Okay. *00:06* Uh, and I'll go as far as to say that I think we see gameplay footage. *00:06* I don't think they're gonna do like an extended gameplay demo or anything like that, but I do think we see a trailer that is a mix of showing off *00:06* I think they just broadly commit to next year and that'll be about it for it. *00:06* That that announcement totally came across as something like, hey, we've just shit *00:06* I think that's practically a guarantee to see that game. *00:06* Always in my brain and my heart. *00:06* And I think that would be a good choice. *00:06* I think you're fantasizing about a version of Sony that doesn't currently exist. *00:06* I think it'll slip to early next year, maybe even like a January or February type game. *00:06* I think uh Scott the Waz would really appreciate Donkey Kong Barrel Blast 2. *00:06* Like a Monday all day I think we were just conditioned. *00:07* We both knew it would be delayed. *00:07* New trailer, summer games fest, approximately twenty minutes of gameplay at the Xbox event, and they're not gonna commit to any more dates until they are *00:07* Yeah. *00:07* Snowdrop. *00:07* What do you got for number three? *00:07* So *00:07* And I feel like Yeah, it's gotta be announced super soon. *00:07* Yes, exactly. *00:07* We have the specs. *00:07* Sony, I think Sony owns Death Stranding, but *00:07* And this has been a problem that Sony has been aware of essentially since the start of the PS3. *00:07* Now I'm d I don't think that means you pop *00:07* One more year in the bag. *00:07* And now that that's like something we know that's not coming up, like *00:07* It's gonna last three months, everybody! *00:07* Yeah. *00:07* I guess because the Bethesda name still has cachet, rightfully so. *00:07* Um if you're sc if you want to be tactical then be tactical, but I'll I'll do the specific one now so you don't steal it *00:07* I think that game comes back to the Xbox stage. *00:07* Uh Logan. *00:07* I agree with you about all the timing for that stuff. *00:07* That's the same thing they did with Horizon Zero Dawn. *00:07* I really do. *00:07* I'll do the humor one because this will directly put two of our predictions at odds with one another. *00:07* Based on how this went last year in their direct when they did this. *00:07* And I also was less specific. *00:07* It was nominated for Game of the Year at the Game Awards. *00:07* Um but they used to have those like temple events where they would talk about things. *00:07* The PS4 changed them. *00:07* Xbox does, which gives them an opportunity to go to these partners and be like *00:07* It's a true it's true. *00:07* It was like the marathon day. *00:07* That conveys that idea. *00:07* I think they're just this the first time. *00:07* For their sports games, I know they do a lot of times. *00:07* A banjo Kazooie game is announced. *00:07* It's a little bit more straightforward, but You're gonna hurt me? *00:07* And one of my PlayStation predictions I'm going to borrow here and say Insomniac announces a PSVR2 game. *00:07* Because if this game's coming out this year, we like talk about games that are coming out this year that we haven't seen anything of. *00:07* It's just gonna be another two D game. *00:07* I think truly, truly surprise. *00:07* Mainly because I just think he's a huge dork. *00:07* Like that is Jeff, that is not the time for an event. *00:07* The specific one or do you want me to save the broad one for last? *00:07* Because I'm pretty sure they announced yesterday. *00:07* I *00:07* Like that will be an element in this game. *00:07* Yeah, why they haven't said a single word yet. *00:07* That's uh cer that's gotta have its own learning curves and systems to implement. *00:07* Like full blast from Sony. *00:07* So they'll just keep going with this, because they know everybody's just calling it Breath of the Wild 2, and they don't care. *00:07* But I'm gonna say that they continue to hold out to keep the secrets going. *00:07* I only got a half point for Nintendo. *00:07* I don't know if that game had a really big marketing partner if I'm being honest. *00:07* I would think Jedi Survivor would be at a Sony show case because *00:07* They would be working on a lot of stuff then, if that's true. *00:07* It's a it's a good good prediction. *00:07* Uh a classic uh a Logan staple. *00:07* But at the end of the day. *00:07* And then *00:07* And now we just have it like scheduled. *00:07* It's June twelfth. *00:07* And when it finally like showed up and came out, everybody was just kind of like, yeah, okay. *00:07* Yes, it's one of the most popular video games ever. *00:07* I just a classic *00:07* I think all the publishers have seen that they can do this on their own now if they want to. *00:07* If it was reversed and you were Miles like *00:07* And then you also correctly predicted a new Metro game being announced. *00:07* And you can keep that in. *00:07* I like it. *00:07* Uh I think so. *00:07* I don't know what Machine Games has been doing for the past couple years. *00:07* Uh now I've I've tamed it down to just the Indiana Games Jones. *00:07* Like if Wolf 3 is announced, that's one game right there. *00:07* So I I I think if you do buy yeah, I don't know. *00:07* You need a big game to get there. *00:07* That may not, but that is what I was able to look up. *00:07* So I feel like Nintendo always has the highest potential, but they also can hit the lowest lows. *00:07* Just a new trailer in general. *00:07* I think they I I *00:07* South Park. *00:07* I like it. *00:07* It's not coming out soon. *00:07* The biggest problem is the blog post just says our third-party partners and several PSVR2 games. *00:07* It's most likely not going to be Suck Sucker Punch. *00:07* Alright. *00:07* What if it what if they adopt a Octopath Traveler? *00:07* Oh my gosh. *00:07* I've learned my lesson, at least in the like trying to win this prediction game. *00:07* GT and Fort or Horizon. *00:07* Do you think the date is next week at this thing they're doing? *00:07* It made it cheap and accessible to consumers, which was great, but now you have a platform that is actually *00:07* I would say I'm most excited for PlayStation because I feel like they have the most like *00:07* Well *00:07* Yeah, the whole Norse pantheon's crashing down in this game. *00:07* That's one of the more interesting state of plays they've had in a long time, and I can't watch it when it happens. *00:07* And based on what people are saying, it's seeming likely that that's going to happen again this year. *00:07* No, this is this encapsulates *00:07* Um I think DS was like one forty-five, so you're right. *00:07* Um *00:07* But we've had so many leaks with that. *00:07* I there's so many courses and tracks for that game that are supposed to come out over the next year and a half *00:07* Uh *00:07* Massive entertainment. *00:07* I really don't think they have to say a lot. *00:07* Good. *00:07* We gotta start seeing something. *00:07* I'm a Sony pony, you know, saddling up, riding in the sunset. *00:07* Because that movie's out in June of next year, right? *00:07* That was one of mine. *00:07* The Xbox thing, that's their big thing. *00:07* Like I don't think they put their big God of War exclusive *00:07* Okay. *00:07* And until next time, adios. *00:07* Who knows? *00:08* They probably *00:08* Your date next June. *00:08* But they had to do that because it was a reboot and they were changing everything and they had to convey that up front, I think. *00:08* Like that relationship existed. *00:08* But I I think if you do start doing day and date releases, I think that kills a little bit of those projections that Sony has made. *00:08* Um so yeah, coaching productions I'm almost a thousand percent positive owns death stranding *00:08* So this can still evolve. *00:08* And now we're doing DLC for eight *00:08* I imagine another September event. *00:08* Now you've got three tiers of access to the Xbox library. *00:08* Original was twenty thirteen. *00:08* And so, you know, if we learn what happened to Sly and like a *00:08* I think the next time Breath of the Wild appears, potentially at the direct this month or whenever. *00:08* They'll do a proper nine after they're done milking this game for all it's worth. *00:08* And so this is where I'm getting in with the qualifiers. *00:08* Scheduled for this year? *00:08* Uh *00:08* And and maybe and you know probably broadly keep *00:08* Alright. *00:08* So I think Silkson uh is in the direct *00:08* I mean that's not necessarily true because we know Naughty Dog's doing Last of Us Remake. *00:08* Like people are like really starting to lose their marbles because Sony is not *00:08* Yeah. *00:08* Today, Sony announced a state of play for June 2nd. *00:08* I think if they were still independent Bethesda, they push that game out this year 1000% *00:08* Because I think it's from the I want to say the division people are making that. *00:08* And it's what it's one of their best studios is also making the game. *00:08* So anything that would have been announced at Celebration. *00:08* But you can run around in a squad with *00:08* The people making the last night, I don't know if they've ever made anything super notable. *00:08* Now we will show you more gameplay. *00:08* Um *00:08* But I think it's also a tall task to pull in *00:08* Like I clearly they want to promote this movie via directs, I think. *00:08* So *00:08* That would be great. *00:08* The whole *00:08* Anyway. *00:08* At least initial reports are indicating it's not very good. *00:08* Have they put the money and effort into it is a different question, and I'm not sure. *00:08* I don't know if they'll announce that in a direct *00:08* I love the energy. *00:08* Now you've got everybody like *00:08* Like Jimmy's really changed how they communicate. *00:08* I like the vibe. *00:08* That's a thing that leaked the other day. *00:08* That's baffling to me. *00:08* You know, they come together, they're on the disc or whatever. *00:08* Go for it. *00:08* Well, with the hack energy, let's go to Nintendo. *00:08* I didn't have that. *00:08* But I think that's I I still think that's a good format. *00:08* Did you see that? *00:08* I told you about them the other day. *00:08* I'm like, dear God, this game is never gonna come out *00:08* And so *00:08* Um *00:08* If he just if he just *00:08* No, five, five, five. *00:08* I would like that. *00:08* I think they want this out before the HBO show drops, which is supposed to be early next year. *00:08* That is another possibility of a day and date PC game. *00:08* And now Microsoft kind of *00:08* We did not do so hot. *00:08* How when did we start Millennial Gaming Speak? *00:08* And yeah. *00:08* Who knows? *00:08* It's possible. *00:08* Okay. *00:08* I mean I guess it could be argued that Tuesday morning *00:08* Um *00:08* That's just not a prediction necessarily, but I think like Perfect Dark we could finally see more of *00:08* Uh *00:08* So *00:08* Uh *00:08* I said just a new Donkey Kong game. *00:08* I was in a in in a one of those ads. *00:08* Yeah. *00:08* 29th is a Saturday. *00:08* So if you would like to listen to that, you can find it. *00:08* Obviously they've got Spider-Man, but that's *00:08* Yeah, him and Jeff are big buds. *00:08* Again, I'm just gonna be very broad and just say new Donkey Kong. *00:08* Nintendo's in their fifth year of the console. *00:08* We did know that. *00:08* So *00:08* I'm just trying to pick like which one I would do next. *00:08* I'm not sure, but the few websites I went around to *00:08* Um, and so I think that we get *00:08* People are ravenous for that stuff. *00:09* Something like that. *00:09* They really played their cards close to the chest. *00:09* They're like, well, we'll pair it with the remake. *00:09* We'll never find out what happened to him in *00:09* I've read GT 7. *00:09* I don't think you'll pick my next two, so go off. *00:09* They just gotta show things off and they just gotta release them. *00:09* Yeah. *00:09* Sure. *00:09* That's the type of revenue and design that *00:09* But yeah, like you said, they've got *00:09* It was like Xbox in the morning, then *00:09* But yeah. *00:09* That would be awesome. *00:09* He took it. *00:09* It's actually a perfect *00:09* Yeah. *00:09* But it could be there. *00:09* Over the past few months, I've been watching some videos from Digital Foundry and kind of looking into it a little bit. *00:09* I think based on what they said last year about like, oh, if we told you the title, we would spoil the game. *00:09* I don't think that he will show the first trailer for the Mario Bros. *00:09* It was shown off at E3. *00:09* GameFest, I just think is *00:09* But Spider Man 2 was revealed and we haven't heard a peep from it since. *00:09* Yeah, it is. *00:09* It was a bit more generic. *00:09* I have two thoughts on what that game could be. *00:09* I would love that so much. *00:09* And it was *00:09* 25th. *00:09* I know the Splinter Cell remake is in it. *00:09* And they show another trailer for Ragnarok. *00:09* It's not an old game. *00:09* So would you like me to do that one instead? *00:09* I'll keep crossing my fingers and hope it's true. *00:09* I feel like it's just like, okay, when is this being revealed? *00:09* com. *00:09* But yeah, I I I I think the game was probably just *00:09* Um because this game, based on all the reports and even based on EA's like *00:09* Um *00:09* People would be more than I mean, I would more than willing *00:09* But I still intro that show, so *00:09* So I I am broadly saying we see three new Xbox games announced. *00:09* They just have to announce the date *00:09* Yeah, for sure. *00:09* I I I totally think that *00:09* So *00:09* When when you saw Sony stop going to E3, I think that was the big *00:09* You got a Psychonauts 2 release date. *00:09* The last night to make a comeback in 22, says developer *00:09* And it's quite possible that if this is true *00:09* I think that's a good one. *00:09* Like they feel out of place because Sony's consistency is not *00:09* No, I don't have any *00:09* Dude, that's too fast of a turnaround, I think. *00:09* Because if you are still releasing *00:09* So I think that makes sense. *00:09* 2018 was a complete reboot from the ground up for the PS4. *00:09* Remake was pretty well in development before it was reportedly passed off the Naughty Dog. *00:09* I think it's rumored to be Pixel Lopus. *00:09* I would watch it on cable television rather than Yeah, Spike TV. *00:09* Yeah, I you know, who knows? *00:09* It literally just got raided in Korea. *00:09* And I think it's out in September. *00:09* Please go *00:09* So it was about a nine-year-old almost 10-year gap. *00:09* It is October 28th, 2022. *00:09* If you can prove to publishers that you have eyes on your product, which he does *00:10* What a weird date. *00:10* We were very confident about that. *00:10* We'll see. *00:10* Like *00:10* It's like we're four months into the year. *00:10* It's just we're doing it. *00:10* Like people don't be next year. *00:10* Oh yeah, I forgot that leaked. *00:10* So *00:10* Hi Logan. *00:10* No, five and five. *00:10* Because Dead Space is January, I think. *00:10* Generally, yeah. *00:10* We see it. *00:10* I went a little bit more comedic with it, which was *00:10* I *00:10* Yeah. *00:10* Hmm. *00:10* Um *00:10* I think it's happening. *00:10* It's going to be insane. *00:10* And *00:10* Those are the two big ones they're adding. *00:10* I'm gonna *00:10* Um *00:10* And I think it could be factions or Ragnarok. *00:10* So how much do you think *00:10* You could throw them back. *00:10* Because it's just *00:10* It can come back. *00:10* PlayStation won't have a state of play, they'll call it a *00:10* They don't strike me as a free-to-play. *00:10* It's currently in season 3E. *00:10* So this is a three-phase prediction. *00:10* Um, tear *00:10* Again, I'm just protecting myself. *00:10* Yeah, yeah, yeah. *00:10* Yep. *00:10* That's a that was a Wednesday. *00:10* Like I think *00:10* They've been very quiet *00:10* So I would like it to be next week. *00:10* I I think they're gonna pa package the new factions with this. *00:10* I the weird thing is *00:10* I think that eased people's *00:10* I love it. *00:10* That's all this is. *00:10* I'm not Battlefield was a marketing thing with *00:10* Jeez. *00:10* But factions is clearly *00:10* I have two parts to it, and you'll understand why it's gonna hurt you. *00:10* But I think that this game
