Enjoy. --- Like, well, you could have fooled me. *00:00* Pretty much. *00:00* That's the capital province. *00:00* 343, what? *00:00* There's nothing else for Nintendo to really announce other than its own games, and they have their own games coming out quite a bit. *00:00* And he was like, yo, I'm making a new game, so be chill. *00:00* And it was like it was so weird, but like again, I know we're never going back to those time periods, but just everything seemed more fun. *00:00* And I think that'll be a really good place for some some big things. *00:00* ends up being um venom would have to be the thing and they can just do a quick, you know, release it three or four months later type thing that they did with Miles Morales, because that was revealed in *00:00* Uh winter. *00:00* Um golf. *00:00* and stuff like that, but like need to lean into this type of type of stuff because you look over in a corner and Ubisoft is completely falling apart and their whole model has just been around *00:00* I mean like here's your character classes or tiers or or what have you, but I think Fair Games re enters the conversation. *00:00* Cause it's probably hard to like go off and silo yourself away for ten years at a time and only ever release a product, you know, uh however man like *00:00* PlayStation 6 Yeah, that's what I was gonna say too. *00:00* And that's the dog's dying. *00:00* Uh there's like I don't know, it's not gameplay. *00:00* One of the big sections can be famous. *00:00* You say Modern Warfare four or I've heard Black Ops seven. *00:00* Uh this is just a new Halo game. *00:00* Like they've they kind of set the table for that one pretty well, I think. *00:00* I'm definitely getting back in my feet wet. *00:00* Uh, which I feel like is very doable, especially when that game comes out this year, which we may be talking about a little bit later, but *00:00* Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Max Frequency Podcast. *00:00* Soon here too. *00:00* uh origami king, you know, those three games. *00:00* You wanna play You wanna play three Vice City and Yeah, because I've never played through all of them. *00:00* They said they had to delay it. *00:00* the Xbox and PlayStation and obviously PlayStation went the like upgrade route with the probe Xbox isn't so now there's like a staggering there *00:00* just because they own half the industry now, so of course that's the case. *00:00* uh announced without a trilogy. *00:00* But it was just a character like walking around or talking to someone. *00:00* That did not happen. *00:00* But I was just like, this feels like cheating. *00:00* They gotta show Wolverine soon. *00:00* The rumor mill's not really spinning yet and that could change, you know, within forty eight hours. *00:00* Historically, they've done an advan I looked it up before we did this. *00:00* uh Xbox. *00:00* There's been an annual release of a Horizon game since 2022. *00:00* I don't know what the logistics of that would look like because Sly's too big of a franchise for them and I don't really know what they've been doing with these like other licensing out deals. *00:00* And I don't and Marathon is naturally gonna be bigger than whatever than Concord was, obviously. *00:00* something like that, you know? *00:00* I don't know. *00:00* What I'm saying. *00:00* I'm gonna skip number six just for a second, because seven and eight were Wolverine and Venom. *00:00* Cause I feel like if this happens, it's gonna happen at the Keeley's in the winter, not here in the summer. *00:00* Night Ring? *00:00* give it to Blue Point to remake. *00:00* Y I mean, Gears is very horror adjacent, especially the first game. *00:00* to next year. *00:00* Yeah, this year. *00:00* Yeah. *00:00* GTA 6 campaign I've played in a long time. *00:00* And uh I'll throw in my specificity. *00:00* Fusroda. *00:00* But they have not said what it is. *00:00* Um so I think like now that the machine is oiled and primed and like f is running, you I think they can feel a bit more confident about saying *00:00* Staying subbed. *00:00* Xbox handheld necessarily overlaps. *00:00* He can juggle promoting them all at once. *00:00* with Death Stranding, I feel like Xbox is gonna want a piece of that and if they can get their exclusive, their Kojima exclusive *00:00* action okay like I think their first project is uh combat evolved remake again again yeah so everyone's gotta remake the game at least twice. *00:00* their big documentary. *00:00* About time for them to announce something and not only that, but like double fine used to have a lot of projects going on at any one time. *00:00* Um Psychonauts 2 was kind of the one that brought that whole studio together and they worked on one major thing altogether. *00:00* He was Masiooka. *00:00* Haru Warriors game and I'm trying to think if there's anything else. *00:00* Like Kirby Air Riders pretty clearly indicates that they're on to something else. *00:00* And it's it's amazing. *00:00* just home play scene. *00:00* Smash Ultimate so like they could do more weird stuff like that, but like I feel like rebooting the roster with like a smaller roster of you know *00:00* They push out an update for Smash Ultimate on Switch One that changes Donkey Kong skin. *00:00* as a kid but never uh getting it. *00:00* Uh I mean they they've already been, you know, touting the remasters of the Zelda games from Switch One a lot. *00:00* And then Dunky shows up and says, the game of the yeah. *00:00* We can give you three, but four for sixty bucks, that's pushing it. *00:00* But Kirby said 2025. *00:00* or something like that too, I'll even say. *00:00* something like that. *00:00* game revealed. *00:00* In that sense, like if I I thought those two were tied together. *00:00* They seem to like to do that with Zelda. *00:00* So I don't like I don't think it could be prime. *00:00* fifty bucks so or under sixty so sixty and then you can charge seventy for the seventy or eighty for the switch two versions and people will complain as they buy them. *00:00* Like it's not gonna be, you know, so different from the previous versions. *00:00* Hit the sticker shock a little bit, but I think I think the enhanced edition is r really what I'm I'm looking for here is *00:00* How things once were or not. *00:00* again there's not a whole lot to really glean at the moment. *00:00* and try to sell their game. *00:00* two in that sense. *00:00* Uh thank you all so much. *00:00* Um and I guess everything wise. *00:00* Yeah, we've not done it in so long that I am now itching to get back to do it and get back to recording and do stuff. *00:00* I mean, you and I haven't specifically said this to each other, but I feel like the goal would be to have this all done. *00:00* I mean I guess they were not really ever a competitor with Grand Theft Auto necessarily, because it's not like that was not gonna release on Switch 2, so it's not like uh Ghost of Tsushima and Paper Mario *00:00* I was gonna say prediction one, that game gets a release date probably soon. *00:00* It could have happened at least Metroid whenever. *00:00* I really want to play all the Grand Theft Autos before Grant GTA 6. *00:00* I'm gonna say. *00:00* I was gonna say that like leading into this, like last year we did this and I felt like it was really difficult to kind of guess anything that hadn't already leaked. *00:00* Um like because we had that big event in April and the reveal at the start of the year and now that is launching. *00:00* I genuinely don't know if they even have anything. *00:00* And so we have a little bit of a track record. *00:00* To me. *00:00* And then last year I said that it was time for a Kirby game. *00:00* You were. *00:00* Yeah, but the the originally weren't the rumors that this was going to launch in twenty four, but Nintendo held it to make sure they were gonna have supply. *00:00* like internal documents came to light or something and then it had it said the switch to in that document and then it said like a release year of l last year at some point. *00:00* Then there's Metroid and and Donkey Kong. *00:00* Well, you were like kinda right. *00:00* Which would be the most successful launch year of a console so far? *00:00* And then go through our predictions on the show because it had already aired by the time we were recording. *00:00* happen. *00:00* You were so close. *00:00* But I got nothing. *00:00* And then one other time, it was like June 2nd. *00:00* It just has to be one day. *00:00* It's just like this messy. *00:00* And we know Polyphony is making a new Gran Turismo game that just won't be out for another eight years. *00:00* It can run an 8K on your PS5 Pro Tool. *00:00* Naughty Dog apparently only knows how to release The Last of Us uh over and over again while they work on a space game. *00:00* is out at the end of June. *00:00* Two new games. *00:00* getting in some I guess in a in a good situation now he owns giant bomb so all right you want to start or you want me to start? *00:00* you know, a Metroid Prime 4 PNG of a title. *00:00* But I think they want to announce it just to keep like the horizon conversation going. *00:00* Uh and they want it to be annual, like clearly. *00:00* I think. *00:00* New slide game or something. *00:00* I was gonna say the other game I was thinking of is, I mean, the top reviewed games so far of this year. *00:00* Let's get a movie. *00:00* making these live service never ending game type things like like Quadruple A. *00:00* Uh actually make it. *00:00* I feel like it would be received well right now. *00:00* I'd still would love to have seen something twisted metal that would have been fun. *00:00* Writing at dual shockers when they announced that. *00:00* Troy Baker was Jake in Resident Evil 6. *00:00* I guess had we played uh four remake, had you started playing them yet? *00:00* I think we're gonna get back into this cadence here with Resident Evil where they're doing 'em pretty much every year again. *00:00* I hate how good of a prediction that is. *00:00* Those characters out there. *00:00* Whenever I think of judgment, I think of him being excited about it on whatever podcast I listened to where he talked about it. *00:00* game. *00:00* field here too, but I don't think they've committed to anything else after that with Starfield. *00:00* the design doc of this game Todd has said he's had like he's known for forever like what they want to do in this game like since after they ship Skyrim. *00:00* And all the games have gone to different provinces. *00:00* Dorks on camera talking about teraflops and the power of handhelds and blah blah blah blah blah and it'll just be called Xbox Project. *00:00* With a side of hardware. *00:00* I don't even think about that trailer b or uh that game because the trailer just kinda sucked, to be totally honest. *00:00* To have some sort of presence that's added into the conversation, right? *00:00* I don't know. *00:00* Sweet Nintendo. *00:00* Sure. *00:00* Oh, I just mean home consoles. *00:00* I'm sure Nintendo wants to get a rip of, you know, 20 or 30 million copies sold with ease, but like, what path do they go down? *00:00* Like this is the this is the thing now if Sakurai really is done. *00:00* There's not 80 characters or 90 characters in this game. *00:00* You bring in Funky Kong, of course. *00:00* Do they redesign Donkey Kong for it? *00:00* But you you want your characters to look like their current things. *00:00* That has a bunch of new characters and stages. *00:00* They're gonna show us some gameplay. *00:00* Uh granted, I think those while the audiences are the same, they're also not. *00:00* So we'll see. *00:00* Um of Donkey Kong Bonanza has kind of lured us all into thinking that that's the Odyssey team's next game. *00:00* Uh assuming this event is in June at some point, that park opens officially to the public full stop here at the end of May. *00:00* Manner. *00:00* And then I went back to Outer Worlds to get to date and I was like, it'd be really fun if it was on the same day. *00:00* that's a prediction if we overlap somewhere. *00:00* Uh but I feel like winter is a a good excuse. *00:00* shooting mechanics on top of it to really challenge myself here. *00:00* I just hate that he is the video game industry master of ceremonies and all announcements flow through him. *00:00* When's PlayStation gonna do their thing? *00:00* Like Yeah, there used to be a business aspect of E3 where a lot of deals were brokered. *00:00* Read the tea leaves with this. *00:00* Maybe a tighter window. *00:00* Deals were brokered there, like yes, press and other people would go play whatever the new games were that were being shown off that year that were slated to come out, but like *00:00* I don't like it. *00:00* that night and then Xbox is on Sunday. *00:00* That was a great night. *00:00* Oh boy. *00:00* F tune in to find out. *00:00* It's nice. *00:00* Um GTA six got me real excited. *00:00* Like that's what infinite money buys. *00:00* And we are, at least at the at the very least, we're recording this a little early because uh Logan is moving right before all of this. *00:00* Uh I've got some travel and things in between that. *00:00* really start to leak here in the next couple days or weeks or whatever and we'll know a lot more closer to whenever these potential events happen. *00:00* It's a great time to if you were only a PlayStation player and fan, what a great time it is for you finally getting access to some of the great games *00:00* on what historically would be E3 week. *00:00* uh brought over uh doom doom was always cross-platform but yeah they kept that going oblivion shadow drop you know shadow drop with the leaks out the wazoo like it's just a great time *00:00* to be on PlayStation if you are only a PlayStation consumer. *00:00* business models or just their plans in general have shifted so much since they launched those consoles and now they have had to *00:00* Well, it's back four years later. *00:00* I was desperate for Donkey Kong, so I predicted it again in 23. *00:00* I think there was even like a third party company this past week that like somehow had leaked like an old *00:00* We did uh do a pretty bad job last year though. *00:00* As far as Xbox and stuff goes, uh you had the Doom thing. *00:00* It was gameplay, so I didn't know how to put that. *00:00* Basically where they lifted an adorable presentation for that. *00:00* May or June and then launched in November. *00:00* So like I wonder if they could choose to go late because they know that Nintendo is kind of coming up on the Switch 2 launch, but then again *00:00* Switch 2 launch, I'm gonna be honest, like, it doesn't feel that exciting. *00:00* I just feel like the Switch 2 release has kind of been the excitement for it is dampened a little bit. *00:00* of June. *00:00* So we'll see how it goes. *00:00* Grub will will tweet something out here within a week. *00:00* Whatever this Atreus Goes to College game is, my prediction previously was that the Atreus Goes to College game doesn't actually feature Atreus. *00:00* I mean it takes a long time to make new games, especially new IP, but like he's been working on that for a hot minute now because he knew that he wasn't gonna direct Ragnarok. *00:00* Don't expect anything new for a long time and in and the interim here's mechanical studying for remastered, remastered. *00:00* The co-op game, which I think is further along, if the rumors are to be believed. *00:00* Bring them back in some capacity. *00:00* But if you're just looking at Jack or Sly, realistically, from that set, like Sly is more likely than Jack. *00:00* If you just put together a team that is like passionate about a project that they want to make, like the the acclaim can be there both commercially and critically. *00:00* And I feel like Astrobot has shown people as well that we want there is a market for kid mascot platformer type things. *00:00* Take money from them and become legally obligated to release a game. *00:00* these games on PC. *00:00* And it'll be a thousand dollar console, and then I don't know how they put that front and center without like burning people. *00:00* when they put out the PS5, they were already working on the Pro. *00:00* big one is supposed to go and what sort of major leaps they can take with it. *00:00* Uh but maybe, I don't know, because it would feature a woman, it would just be a tragedy anyway from a PR perspective, which is so unfortunate and stupid. *00:00* Give me the sound shapes. *00:00* Or maybe within the past years said like, oh, we don't have enough IP or something like that. *00:00* And if I mean if the Santa Monica game gets shown, going back to my other prediction there, that's a new IP. *00:00* A young child, parents murdered, family legacy robbed, must hunt down and get things back. *00:00* They only know how to tell one story. *00:00* Come on. *00:00* Yeah. *00:00* the Keeley thing I think is most likely, but like, what's up with that? *00:00* Alright, third party time. *00:00* I was gonna say it could be Chris, but I feel like they've almost resigned Chris to being like his The COD. *00:00* So like Yeah. *00:00* But I do think that's for some reason I just feel like that's unlikely. *00:00* I mean heck, do it. *00:00* PlayStation's all done. *00:00* We do this every year. *00:00* Tom Warren, you would know him. *00:00* So it's possible. *00:00* This first one now. *00:00* I mean I would like to play it. *00:00* And even play Suicide Squad together. *00:00* Judgment tactics. *00:00* EDA will be the eighth main line or major game, I guess, in the series. *00:00* That was like two or three months ago they officially delayed it. *00:00* Fable direct thing or whatever. *00:00* I think I'll hit my caught my Call of Duty itch probably around like July. *00:00* Yeah, no, I wanna I wanna see a like uh you know that double release. *00:00* Avowed came out this year just because it got delayed, but Obsidian was still cranking on Outer World, so what do they have after this? *00:00* Yeah, I'm not sure. *00:00* They should. *00:00* So, I mean Starfield's gonna come to PS5. *00:00* Oblivion's blown up. *00:00* I mean they've known a lot of things about this game, I feel like for a long time. *00:00* Hey, the game is in Hammerfell, or you know, uh how much do you know about Elder Scrolls? *00:00* Even though they knew. *00:00* uh that, you know, seem to be promising cars and then heist or or or treasure in some capacity. *00:00* Clockwork's a good candidate. *00:00* As well and those two games are gonna be big. *00:00* up within the next 12 months out from their June presentation and yeah like like you said kind of get people locked into Game Pass and *00:00* Project blank, you know, and it's gonna be dim showing a bunch of hardware *00:00* Scorpio was a thing out there for a year or um Todd Howard in that video. *00:00* here um with this handheld finally for real. *00:00* Since I don't like it when we double up. *00:00* I think yeah, I think they're gonna go a I think they're gonna go ahead of PlayStation no matter what here, to be honest. *00:00* this year with Xbox branding. *00:00* Well he he could have cut that whenever. *00:00* the former that they're just gonna work on another big game together, but like I don't know what that is. *00:00* It's a fun year for Nintendo because it is a the generational transition for them. *00:00* They relied on some strange things to highlight during that event. *00:00* That it was very intentional that Smash Ultimate was not one of the remastered or one of the upgraded Switch 2 games that they talked about in the presentation. *00:00* I'm not sure maybe? *00:00* We're in weird territory here with this game. *00:00* The old one no longer exists. *00:00* thing Nintendo kind of has to figure out and I will be very curious. *00:00* obviously upgrades for switch two and that's it. *00:00* You can't top the only way the only way to start is to start over and do something smaller, which I don't know if that will be as well received. *00:00* And then you make an open world Smash game where you just bounce between all the stages and it's interconnected and you can go anywhere at any time. *00:00* Is that the Odyssey team has split and they've made two games. *00:00* They have to be in system seller mode here with this presentation to me. *00:00* stupid to being a joke to now being something I actively want again. *00:00* Maybe they'll do that next, right after Splatoon 4. *00:00* people always talk about with Nintendo. *00:00* I feel like Star Fox is the most popular by far, and I feel like it's the easiest to just make a new game that people would enjoy to play. *00:00* I think I think Miyamoto tried to tie his hands behind his back last time with that uh the the gameplay mechanics that he came up with for zero. *00:00* This in Metroid. *00:00* in a room editor mode, like just being able to move furniture and customize your space so much faster *00:00* Is gonna be amazing in that game. *00:00* Five, but maybe you're right. *00:00* So yeah, I think we're gonna get that here. *00:00* If Prime's out in October, like I said, and the rest of their year, like up to October is pretty packed. *00:00* Uh E3 is not returning. *00:00* Uh that is set to last four days. *00:00* with their directs and digital events back in kind of the Wii U and 3DS era. *00:00* No and then toward the end, I mean, gosh, I was watching Sony press conferences in the movie theater, right? *00:00* And if it's showing off on charted five, Drake's glorious return, like obviously you're gonna want to announce that before that leaks out. *00:00* Xbox three sixty revealed. *00:00* A little bit, right? *00:00* And I went and saw the movie Logan. *00:00* But please let me know how the switch cartridge tastes. *00:00* MFP-46. *00:00* It's not one of my predictions because it's just so obvious. *00:00* We gotta I keep seeing the DS Castlevania games at stores, and I keep thinking about how we bought all of these Castlevania games. *00:00* debunk. *00:00* And then I really I was gonna say I have this I I'm so dead serious about this. *00:00* Churning out stuff, the uh the E3 summertime rumors haven't like hit their stride. *00:00* Xbox seems to be really hitting a stride because they finally have gotten their hundreds of billions of dollars of studios. *00:00* We're gonna talk about that, I'm sure. *00:00* Coming out, or there is aren't any good games on the horizon. *00:00* And I think especially with Switch 2 coming out, a lot of these things started coming true. *00:00* Interesting, especially in light of obviously Nintendo recently had their financials and they were saying that they're predicting 15 million switch to sales within the first year. *00:00* Eventually right. *00:00* Uh Todd was gonna talk about Elder Scrolls six. *00:00* You said n fable gameplay would not appear, but in the trailer for Fable they had last year, there were clearly moments that were were gameplay. *00:00* And I tried to stay within the realm of what is known and feels realistic. *00:00* Change on a dime before we get into PlayStation. *00:00* And that was May 30th last year. *00:00* Sony Santa Monica is like, I don't know, do we make video games? *00:00* Um that was gonna be my original prediction. *00:00* I mean I'm sure he still helped with development on that game, but like He was a creative. *00:00* Uh even slide four when it came out was also cheaper than normal price, and that was cross by two. *00:00* I I think more pup more more of these major publishers, you know, than your PlayStation, your EA, I think EA's turning to learn it, you know, with split fiction. *00:00* It's shown very clearly time and time again over the past couple years that that stuff just does not work. *00:00* We'll see. *00:00* Sorry. *00:00* 75% of them. *00:00* Some new stuff. *00:00* Jin Sakai is not in this game, so therefore new IP. *00:00* Uh I never played one in No Infamous Second Son was grandma rock legs. *00:00* We know for the ninth game, especially given how seven and eight went. *00:00* To be fair, that was just like a press release. *00:00* Alright, number five. *00:00* Even though PlayStation technically owns the IP, there's like an understanding between the two of them that like PlayStation will not touch it unless FromSoft is the one doing it. *00:00* I have one that I like a lot, and I firmly believe it too, is the thing. *00:00* So banjo makes sense. *00:00* I love I'm like thinking of the Smash reveal for Banjo and how Sakurai like did the duck hunt fake out again. *00:00* Uh reloaded is August, right? *00:00* Reloaded. *00:00* I mean, I guess maybe you could maybe get it in at like April, like right before GTA 6 or something like that, if it's ready to go by then. *00:00* Yeah, like RPGs need that s little bit extra level of on them. *00:00* So well, speaking of the the the developer directs, Outer Worlds 2 gets a date, which I think is super obvious. *00:00* uh Fallout New Vegas 2 because the TV show is such a hit. *00:00* Um, and I think that is what they're gonna announce. *00:00* Because Sarah Bond and Phil have talked about how they're still a console manufacturer, even though Xbox Game Pass is on every *00:00* thing now, including TV. *00:00* Uh or you know, that mid-gen type of thing. *00:00* And that will be No no no. *00:00* I think they could pop up and be like, and here's a thing. *00:00* kind of all stay together working on one big thing or if they would like kind of splinter out and go start making smaller things and just based on their silence I would wager it's *00:00* And I think that mean that to me means that they're going to announce Super Smash Bros. *00:00* plus. *00:00* Well, I was gonna say they'll wanna in in incorporate game chat with it. *00:00* Street Fighters. *00:00* Is ultimate can still be played, just like melee is still played today. *00:00* So Funky Kong, a Chunky Kong, Lanky Kong. *00:00* Yeah, I mean people want a new Smash, but like I don't I mean like I said You don't need it like where do you go? *00:00* Weird. *00:00* And I don't think it's Zelda's turn because Tears of the Kingdom's so recent. *00:00* There you go. *00:00* I wrote this prediction first and I was like, oh, this would be really fun to have Nintendo release a game the same day as Sucker Punch. *00:00* I think that at Pokemon November, uh, December will be the Zelda game. *00:00* Like how how how difficult does it have to be to make a good Star Fox game? *00:00* Um, that we could see something with Star Fox. *00:00* I think they want that new Horizons community to be like, okay, gotta buy my s like I'm buying a switch to, you know, in 20 *00:00* I think they tease it. *00:00* for New Horizons was beachy in some way. *00:00* Baseball has become like the most popular. *00:00* Golf, they had a new soccer game. *00:00* the past couple years that I don't know if you're aware of that I have seen online. *00:00* Like you're not gonna put out prime two and three right before four. *00:00* That's why I said some of. *00:00* Um and Twilight, isn't that kind of booming right now? *00:00* I think you've got the right line of thinking. *00:00* It will be That's exactly what I was gonna say. *00:00* With that so with that being said, like right there, it's not gonna be a massive convention center where you run around and demo. *00:00* And then Xbox is kind of probably the most traditional of the bunch, but now it's it's more of a it's a digital curated video event. *00:00* Because E3 press conferences were actually right before E3. *00:00* And if this is at a resort or in a convention center or con you know, like a conference hall in a hotel, theoretically there are booths or displays, or like, you know, hypothetically. *00:00* I'm gonna pick out Mario Kart World at Best Buy at midnight, so I'll get a little feel for it. *00:00* We'll see. *00:00* I'm sure at some point, you know, Tech 2 was like, hey, when you gonna release this? *00:00* I I don't know, it's just they're they're both in such strange spots, and I feel like this whole generation is awash, and that doesn't mean there's not any good games. *00:00* Uh I said Outer Worlds 2 would reappear, that did not happen. *00:00* Nintendo, you said the year of Metroid is truly upon us. *00:00* The N64 version. *00:00* With PlayStation specifically though. *00:00* But I really struggled with Sony predictions this year because *00:00* Not a you know, I don't know. *00:00* PS5 Pro 8K Grand Grand Turismo 7. *00:00* And I it'll either be before or after Xbox. *00:00* I think they're gonna want to tell people, you know, Corey's doing something, and what he's doing is this. *00:00* Yeah, this is a thing. *00:00* True yeah, sure. *00:00* Yeah, may maybe they'll announce the Kratos actor during this. *00:00* And the logic behind this is obviously Gorilla is working on both a co-op game and the third game. *00:00* But more so I think Sony wants Horizon annualized. *00:00* Um and then Split Fiction, Haze Light, again, another small team. *00:00* It's it's truly one of the funniest moments right now because of the tariff situation. *00:00* Uncharted is my guess, because I can't get that ad out of my head where clearly Cassie Drake is like plundering treasure in this cave with a torch. *00:00* uncharted territory with the the legacy of this series now. *00:00* But if they went back and gave us Code Veronica remake, which clearly I think is in the works, especially since they shut down the fan project. *00:00* Just give them Bloodborne and call it a day. *00:00* And I think they'll announce it's a an addition for a later date or something like that. *00:00* Focused, single player, not a oh it's like a linear game, doesn't have the open world stuff that five did. *00:00* Um so yeah, I think it it'll get some love and I think E Day will will come back in some way as well. *00:00* In a full way. *00:00* So And I think I think I think I think Gears is like March is my it's my guess. *00:00* I mean because for a while we've yeah for a while they we've known like a ton of stuff that they had in the works and then I think once they get this out they go back to the *00:00* Pentiment, that was a surprise. *00:00* Incredibly high interest in Elder Scrolls right now. *00:00* After all these years, just announce the title of the game. *00:00* Oh, uh not nothing. *00:00* Bioshock Infinite spiritual kind of game, at least aesthetically. *00:00* Well it's kinda like uh you know, just like any other streaming service. *00:00* I could see like I I see them talking about the next console in some capacity. *00:00* And fun to have like Switch 2 come out and then the neck uh Xbox revealed their own handheld device for the first time. *00:00* Alright, so we gotta move on to my next prediction since we lapped, and um I'm slightly sad because I wanted to end with this, but and it's now my number four. *00:00* Um, I think that would be really fun. *00:00* The man's not that crazy. *00:00* So like I could see something like that. *00:00* set up to do something inventive like that. *00:00* Uh and I'll tell you what, Outer Wilds, 10 out of 10. *00:00* Mario Kart looks cool. *00:00* I firmly believe this man's done with Smash. *00:00* And that's it. *00:00* They're at a fork in the road with Smash because every new Nintendo console since the N64 has had a Smash. *00:00* Upgraded remaster lane with some maybe some new bells and whistles, or is it a wholly new game from the ground up? *00:00* A remaster type thing, cause I really don't know what else you do to smash *00:00* characters and things like that without having to worry about incorporating it and balancing it with 80 plus other fighters. *00:00* The biggest thing with a reboot to me that I I can't figure out is like how do you reboot the roster? *00:00* I mean maybe Smash becomes the Mario Kart 8 deluxe of the Switch 2 generation. *00:00* Sticking with soccer eye. *00:00* My Nintendo ones are real basic. *00:00* one big thing that's gonna like really make people get hyped and feel like they have to go buy a console. *00:00* If they did anything 3D All-Star collection-y, uh, I would hope it would be Galaxy 2 related because That'd be cool. *00:00* Left. *00:00* That is a pun they would make in the game. *00:00* I'm assuming that November is Legends Zah. *00:00* I I I think they gotta do something. *00:00* Next Animal Crossing is on its way. *00:00* Obviously they have great ideas and that it'll be a fun game. *00:00* the rumored prime and or Zelda games, the ports, specifically Prime 2, 3, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess. *00:00* Well, not obviously, I don't think the intentional plan at the time. *00:00* Yes, when Waker will look better on Switch 2 in HD, but like it's not gonna be, you know, so night and day that it won't also look good on Switch 1. *00:00* What will this thing be? *00:00* So at the very least, I think it could give us a better time frame to talk about, like for them to talk about things. *00:00* Things are changing on that front. *00:00* More than how do we communicate the business side? *00:00* Good. *00:00* Right. *00:00* Uh, you know, of the last generation from Xbox, like Forza Horizon Four Five just came out. *00:00* It uh and like you said with the Switch 2, we're in this obviously Nintendo has their own cadence, but like we're in this like mid to late cycle, what feels like mid to late cycle for *00:00* completely pivot halfway through this generation and it has let I mean again, Xbox has got plenty of stuff that they're releasing. *00:00* It's it's it's hard to be excited about the unknown, whereas before that was kind of I think what the most exciting time of what the most exciting thing about this time of year was. *00:00* Launch year-ish for Switch 2. *00:00* Kind of like the Gears one. *00:00* Uh you said Nintendo would talk about when they would talk about Switch 2. *00:00* I'm I'm hopeful. *00:00* They announced the state of play the day before, so *00:00* Profit, I don't know. *00:00* mainly they're like Japanese IP. *00:00* Okay. *00:00* Um well maybe well Ratchet obviously is getting another game. *00:00* And I was conflicted on this one because we have Marathon in September. *00:00* Uh and obviously they want they're committed to releasing these things. *00:00* What's really funny is there is a configuration of the Series X. *00:00* It's quite possible it'll be close to $1,000 and could go over when you factor in if you add a disk drive and the official vertical stand and things like that. *00:00* You can only release so many color variations of the dual sense, you know? *00:00* That's very true. *00:00* their prestige within the industry, you're they're probably not a company you want to like make matters. *00:00* It's pretty good. *00:00* Apparently, according to great Microsoft Inside Reporter over at The Verge, whose name is now escaping me. *00:00* True. *00:00* Once again, that game was supposed to be out this year. *00:00* I if if not, if not, you don't want to do May. *00:00* I think he's gonna be out pretty soon next year. *00:00* Surprising, like I mean, presumably we're getting the next COD reveal here this summer, right? *00:00* I mean, maybe this is like not the time to do that because, you know, they just did Oblivion and stuff like that, but like *00:00* website perspective and like uh writing like that game brings in like a ton of traffic for us anytime we write about it still it's been out like a month like that that *00:00* Alright. *00:00* Clockwork Revolution, I could see just being quiet again, like for one more year, and then coming back. *00:00* A vowed equivalent for 2026 or something like that. *00:00* I think and Xbox has been clearly has gotten the machine turning, right? *00:00* Keep your subscription going. *00:00* Starfish or something. *00:00* I almost brought this up in PlayStation as well, but 2025 is officially the year of Kojima with a proper trailer for overdose. *00:00* True. *00:00* Banjo and Tony Hawk. *00:00* But like I could have seen a Halo 1 remake again, but this time in Unreal from them. *00:00* So I can see Halo being there. *00:00* Okay. *00:00* I think that's all I'll say about that. *00:00* They start everyone starts thinking it it was ever if he was always like this. *00:00* What does that mean? *00:00* It's still played a lot. *00:00* Because at the top of the show, you invoke this. *00:00* Uh Disney, EA, Xbox, Nintendo, PlayStation, Square Unix, Ubisoft, Take Two, Warner. *00:00* And even when they don't, he claims them all. *00:00* And then Sony had those weird years where they like you remember that one E3 where it was like three or four, I think it was four games, and they had different stations, like tents set up for press to go to. *00:00* Publishers, like everybody was at this event and they would meet with, you know, uh retailers and they would strike deals for how many copies of their games they were gonna ship to retailers, which I can that aspect of it's kind of *00:00* I like the idea of it. *00:00* Episode of MTV. *00:00* just so 2000 and five in every way. *00:00* A tighter window of knowing when things will be announced. *00:00* This year in particular is going to be pretty flippin' sweet because it the Switch 2 comes out on my birthday. *00:00* Uh as for me, if you'd like to uh check out my writing or anything, head over to maxfrequency. *00:00* personal project itch. *00:00* You just say please produce a golden egg. *00:00* So no, I fully agree. *00:00* So I and that kind of got me thinking because the the the Switch too has been rumor city, right, for the last forever. *00:00* But if they wanted to prepare for that eventuality, you know, holding it makes sense. *00:00* But it's happening this year, maybe. *00:00* The Kirby game prediction obviously did not happen. *00:00* But my most difficult thing with PlayStation, and I didn't do this, it did fall into the backup category. *00:00* That thing exists. *00:00* May or early June. *00:00* Nothing? *00:00* And they'll wanna obviously like amp up that machine going into it. *00:00* And so that's June, September, October. *00:00* Because they've already they were already dodgy about they had to be dodgy about that during the Ragnarok cycle, and that was *00:00* I've written them down in the order of what I think is most likely to happen to least likely. *00:00* Le Peris, Le Police, Carmelita Fox could come back. *00:00* Alright. *00:00* Want to do that, but I think they realize that like they have to do whatever it takes to not have a Concord 2. *00:00* Honestly, if you want a PS5 Pro now is the time to buy it. *00:00* But uh I just wrote a dormant IP is revived. *00:00* can go buy it, but I don't think they're gonna be trying to actively sell it any longer, which is such a weird thing because how m how many millions of dollars of R and D probably went into *00:00* Three new IP. *00:00* Ghost of Yote. *00:00* But you know, after you m remake three and just give us the perfect game, I mean, how do you even go back? *00:00* I would I would love a little Code Veronica remake love. *00:00* I know that Blue Point's God of War multiplayer service game was canceled. *00:00* Our boy Shuhei came out and said something along the lines of from Soft Said to PlayStation if they ever do a remake or remaster to any future sequels. *00:00* Xbox Bethesda Activision Mega Showcase. *00:00* DLC characters in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater three and four. *00:00* Are those like Star Wars and I you know, I'm getting some of the games mixed up here, but Star Wars and Spider-Man and Spack. *00:00* Yeah, it's more arcadey, but like that's kind of the antithesis to Gears. *00:00* Yeah. *00:00* Repeats here as strange as it as this is. *00:00* I feel like it's going to at this point be late summer or fall next year because in my mind they may have delayed it. *00:00* That would be a that's that's the odds on favorite. *00:00* three years or whatever, you know. *00:00* Contraband and Clockwork Revolution pop back up. *00:00* And showing other games and be like, and here it is, it comes out, you know, this is what we're shooting for, and things like that. *00:00* Would be really interesting from like a a market conversation perspective. *00:00* Please, Robert. *00:00* way earlier than they have any right announcing a new Halo game. *00:00* Yeah. *00:00* Which fun trivia for you, the man from Heroes, who also founded Mobius Digital. *00:00* That'd be pr that'd be sick. *00:00* I think those companies want their players in characters in Smash. *00:00* You know, 15 or 20 biggest characters on on the roster, all of the main Mario characters, Zelda, Samus, Star Fox, you know, Pikachu. *00:00* What are the like new characters that you then add to make it different? *00:00* Like, I don't know. *00:00* And says, Hello, I would like to share with you the trailer for Super Mario Bros. *00:00* Like those are things they could talk about, but I think they basically acknowledge and celebrate the 40th anniversary of Mario in some *00:00* Like seven months from June. *00:00* It's been a while. *00:00* I can get by if one thing comes true. *00:00* To keep it accessible to the hundred and fifty-five million switches out there, but also give the switch to library something that's like a little bit more exciting. *00:00* And continue this tradition of just porting things. *00:00* And give that variable pricing, right? *00:00* Remotely excited to hear from Jeff Keeley in a month or what he does a good job with his shows. *00:00* Is it all being condensed into like a five day period? *00:00* But if this conference happens, say second week of June, then you would think all of their messaging that would be at the conference would be discussed before said conference *00:00* This would be a good way to bring it back in. *00:00* Like that's still a good and viable space for those things. *00:00* You spot on with Doom Etern uh No Doom Dark Ages, which just came out as we're recording this. *00:00* I mean Well I didn't I'm not I'm not sure if Venom Where is that? *00:00* They have Death Stranding, Marathon, and Ghost of Yote. *00:00* That is not on my list and I would love that very much actually. *00:00* I hope it ha I hope it happens. *00:00* I said if Fable shows up, it is for gameplay and a date. *00:00* But yeah, I feel like we totally could see more of these games in some capacity, right? *00:00* I could see them announcing something. *00:00* What does Smash become next? *00:00* So I mean they could just do Twilight Princess, like the the last port, so to speak, was Skyward Sword, like you could work backwards. *00:00* year or two. *00:00* Cause at the very least, once it gets in the hands of people outside of your company, then the the chance of it leaking go up exponentially. *00:00* I don't know man, it just sucks. *00:00* So they're just cranking out games at a very high rate, especially on PlayStation. *00:00* Um let's start with this one. *00:00* You have to sell so many millions of copies to even break even on some of these projects. *00:00* Sly has French vibes for sure. *00:00* Yeah, they shut down probably one of the better online multiplayer games Sony had in their pipeline. *00:00* And it's not gonna be Bioshock 4 Antarctica edition. *00:00* I just think they're gonna play it too safe, unfortunately. *00:00* I feel like they're gonna go back to Leon, even though it's weird because we just had four remake. *00:00* Of all times for them to do it, it would be probably worst for it to happen now because *00:00* Dusk Bloods. *00:00* I think it happens. *00:00* Where is judgment? *00:00* I don't think they've said like they're skipping a year or anything, so suppose four. *00:00* So I think they could just formally announce that they are working on some sort of project and that we'll learn more next year and leave it at that. *00:00* But is he that busy? *00:00* Are announced as cross-gen titles with switch two enhanced editions, but they also code to switch one as well. *00:00* This would at least give it some explanation as to why nothing's come out, but I think it also would let them keep these versions they've made for Switch and have access to that market. *00:00* Upgrade remastered games, which is why I was kind of thinking along the same lines with Smash Ultimate. *00:00* That gives some sort of theoretical deadline to when they would want to announce things publicly. *00:00* The thing is, is I don't think companies are going to want to give up the total control of their messaging. *00:00* I think it's smart and strategic and helps keep it focused. *00:00* Yeah. *00:00* So we are it's only it's May twelfth as we're recording this. *00:00* Santa Monica Studio reveals. *00:00* I don't believe it. *00:00* So I think Horizon's incoming. *00:00* They're just gonna switch and stuff like that. *00:00* You know, maybe they bring maybe evil back or something. *00:00* feasible. *00:00* True. *00:00* So number nine, aka number five. *00:00* Dude, I'd I'd I'd save Gotham with you in the middle of the mor, you know, the at dawn. *00:00* I feel like Starfield's well enough in the rearview mirror will get the PS5 port of that eventually, you know, and that'll jump up to the side. *00:00* Because obviously we talked before about we're gonna talk about Xbox handheld here. *00:00* A trailer, a proper trailer. *00:00* So 3D Mario. *00:00* But I mean that's the straightforward part of it. *00:00* The logo will be stylized in such a way where it is S-P-L-4 T-O-O-N. *00:00* Yeah. *00:00* Okay, my final one. *00:00* And I know that's not to like all all Mario Sports games are pretty popular in their own ways. *00:00* And then prime, obviously, like that's in the conversation because of four, where I get hung up on this is like, well. *00:00* I don't think that dis like disqualifies. *00:00* What I found really funny was on MFP 28, and that's only funny because of the time we're in now. *00:00* I mean they revealed that game in 2020 or 2021. *00:00* Isn't the Everybody's Golf a new game though? *00:00* Everybody's golf. *00:00* I mean Honey Dogs doing intergalactic, not that that counts if that was to appear here at this point. *00:00* Just for now. *00:00* Gears of War gets love with reloaded gameplay and something regarding E-Day. *00:00* Yeah, I mean horde mode is the the name of it. *00:00* These games rather than uh especially with this one. *00:00* Thursday. *00:00* I th I mean the updates have slowed down for sure, but I think they might still do some stuff with it. *00:00* I think they're gonna talk I think they're gonna say something about Elder Scrolls 6. *00:00* It was it was announced in 2015, so it's been a decade since they've announced a new game. *00:00* That's it. *00:00* One of these days, somebody will have the gall to do it. *00:00* Maybe he said something about I thought that was the smash tease. *00:00* gargantuan for them. *00:00* Uh the original Animal Crossing teaser was in the September 2018 direct. *00:00* Okay, I told you I had one more prediction at the end. *00:00* So here's here's the thing that's interesting. *00:00* Well, I wish thee the best of luck. *00:00* Is that this year? *00:01* I mean out of all the PS2 era mascot characters, Sly's the most likely to get another game. *00:01* Tepid, I'll say. *00:01* Sort of kinda. *00:01* They have another game coming up that looks a whole lot like Bloodborne, but maybe for exactly that reason, maybe that's why they'll finally do it. *00:01* Shocking amount of gears. *00:01* And they've kind of already done this because I know that they did the whole like, you know, we're working on the movie to Unreal. *00:01* I I feel like new IP is just the thing from them that would make the most sense. *00:01* Online play, maybe we get rollback netcode or something. *00:01* I don't know. *00:01* I think that they want to continue bringing back all their sports games. *00:01* But they might raise the price on you. *00:01* Yeah, we gotta we gotta get back to our show here at some point. *00:01* Will I do that? *00:01* So like, yeah, it was planned for last year at one point or another, for sure. *00:01* Hmm. *00:01* That's a good one. *00:01* Nintendo has an exclusive from software game and Sony will not take it. *00:01* Which that's a big game too. *00:01* Or yeah, 70, whatever. *00:01* Like that's a whole other conversation. *00:01* Like I don't think we're ever coming back because I think a lot of companies have found that they just have better success kind of doing things at their own cadence and *00:01* It's been a long time since I've done a podcast. *00:01* The Chapter Select fans should know we are I'm done with Prime Hunters. *00:01* I mean I think it's really just a testament to time like you said. *00:01* The I highly recommend the Digital Foundry look special DF Direct on the the second trailer of GTA because uh the technology that they t they noticed and talked about *00:01* But then the f the the following year, twenty-four, you said it is coming back and it is doom and it will be out within a year. *00:01* Like I know everything. *00:01* So number one, Horizon's next title is announced. *00:01* Here's the gameplay and the multiplayer you love. *00:01* I wonder if that's a thing. *00:01* The question coming out of this will once again be, well, what the heck is Fable? *00:01* It's better than Perfect Dark. *00:01* And like this year it could be I'm gonna go see Ballerina and then go get my switch well, my switch to is coming from Walmart, so I'll go to bed and then *00:01* And go there for all your Keely coverage. *00:01* It's gonna be a great weekend. *00:01* So, like obviously those games won't be out for seven years. *00:01* But I think a trailer could bubble up. *00:01* It better be. *00:01* Yeah, I could I could see them doing something like that with Fable, because I think Fable requires that sort of Yeah in depth look at all the mechanics and systems and *00:01* That would be smart, but you know okay. *00:01* Yeah. *00:01* Maybe they'll re-release the 3D All-Stars once again in stores, this time in a nice new Switch 2 box. *00:01* They have to do it. *00:01* While this is rare and highly specific, this will feel a little bit like you're recapturing the feeling. *00:01* Um I wish the company's personality. *00:01* Like what was gameplay in that? *00:01* Like, PlayStation hasn't said anything, obviously, but like none of the typical people who do start speaking up and saying, you know, oh yeah, PlayStation's doing something, have not said anything. *00:01* Sony, uh I mean this has been a big thing that a lot of PlayStation fans have noticed over the past few months is that Sony is licensing out their IP all of a sudden. *00:01* Like, yeah. *00:01* That was so clear. *00:01* But Gears is getting love this year. *00:01* Um Okay, we'll do a simple one here. *00:01* That's yeah, true. *00:01* We're not those people. *00:01* I'd have to look up another like did uh multiverses have rollback? *00:01* I wanted to predict in advance. *00:01* I want to play that game. *00:01* So I gotta step my game up this year. *00:01* Yeah, they don't want to say anything about that. *00:01* Alright, my third one. *00:01* I didn't want to fully commit to an E-Day release date, but I think like Gears is gonna have a little bit of a section. *00:01* Every new game is set in a new region. *00:01* That's where the king lives. *00:01* Alright, you beat me to it. *00:01* It could happen. *00:01* I th Doublefind hasn't done I would love that. *00:01* keeps this event exciting, shows something further down the road, because like that's clearly 2026 or beyond just based on their current kind of trajectory here. *00:01* Like they want to ramp that machine up. *00:01* Yeah. *00:01* I would I am genuinely super pumped for the next Resident Evil game because I will pop off because I've played them all now. *00:01* Yeah. *00:01* Just for now. *00:01* I mean they've already shown that Doom the Doom Slayer is one of them. *00:01* Kirby Air Rider to switch online before this. *00:01* Okay. *00:01* So I could see Sony going ahead again. *00:01* Team LFG. *00:01* And then even beyond that, like I know this is like part of a larger publisher and the studio's a bit larger, but like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? *00:01* Okay. *00:01* Not not E Day, but the the remaster that's about to come out here. *00:01* Um these also we gotta be able to play Gears Pop, is all I'm saying. *00:01* That is like a collab project with them that I think that's going to be Asus's device. *00:01* Yes. *00:01* That's the prediction. *00:01* I feel like that would make sense. *00:01* I mean they can remaster the first game for the second time or third time technically. *00:01* Your wife would run out and buy one immediately. *00:01* I think they give the audience something meaningful. *00:01* These things have been supposedly done forever. *00:01* Now that conversation again looks different today, but keeping it business oriented *00:01* I mean I'm hopeful every year, I guess. *00:01* Five years after launching they're going up to the case. *00:01* It's huge. *00:01* This is a weird one. *00:01* So I think that's actually almost an opportunity to explore other ideas flows. *00:01* And then they'll say that. *00:01* It's been five years. *00:01* Like, is this eventually going to turn into E3 light? *00:01* You know. *00:01* So you were kinda like semi-right. *00:01* We could do that too. *00:01* Because I've not been, you know, believing in anything I'm saying tonight here, obviously. *00:01* Or I was gonna say if the if it really does end up being like a summer or fall game next year, like I'm predicting they could do the whole *00:01* What? *00:01* Well, they'd probably up the resolution too. *00:01* Yeah. *00:01* I don't know why that wasn't included. *00:01* Like the hardware's pretty dated at this point. *00:01* Did you see that video going around? *00:01* I think they want to remind people it exists, but also we're still less than a year away from Concord. *00:01* Alright, Xbox. *00:01* Judgment tactics. *00:01* I think there's hope there. *00:01* It doesn't have to be anything crazy. *00:01* But yeah, I don't think they will verbally mention this because I think doing so will just make people go, how dare they try to sell the thousand dollar console to me? *00:01* So that's pretty stupid to say on one hand. *00:01* It's a completely different IP because it says Yote. *00:01* FREM software doesn't uh you know, as unfortunate as that is, but it could happen. *00:01* We you and I have this very long standing uh date that we have not gone on yet where we're supposed to go back to Gotham Knight. *00:01* This is a double dose. *00:01* I don't know. *00:01* I don't understand their I don't understand their business. *00:01* Like Double Find's been busy. *00:01* I don't know. *00:01* I'm gonna go lean the entirely opposite direction. *00:01* Like I could see them just doing one or both. *00:01* If you would like to find Logan online, he's over at comicbook. *00:01* Like it print money for fifteen, twenty years once it comes out. *00:02* And so when I was going back, before we get into this year's predictions, I wanted to go back and look at uh maybe some things that we got right. *00:02* Yeah, everybody's golf. *00:02* Alright. *00:02* They they came out with the DLC for seven where you could play as him, but Oh yeah *00:02* Uh all right. *00:02* Judgment is not like that. *00:02* Just go just go quiet until you want to do a big blowout for it. *00:02* So like I think they could just announce something like that. *00:02* But I think the difficulty of like maintaining the contracts for certain characters just indefinitely. *00:02* I don't know. *00:02* There was E-Day last year, which what isn't Gear 6, but and then we just got the Gears of War 1 remaster remaster. *00:02* Little right, little not. *00:02* I uh similarly failed. *00:02* Vita back while you're at it. *00:02* Uh it's Resident Evil 9. *00:02* So the question since that initial teaser trailer all these years has been like, well what what region is this? *00:02* Team of please. *00:02* Yeah. *00:02* They they could start tapping into m some of the more strange Mario characters that you know they're they're putting in like Mario Kart World. *00:02* I I I think they tease Animal Crossing in some ways, is the point. *00:02* Three remasters appeared. *00:02* It's either it's either one time it was like very, very late April. *00:02* But I feel like if they just show another trailer, it just kind of keeps it in the conversation, you know. *00:02* No, and I think the reason they won't is because I think it might have a price increase before this event. *00:02* So we have like this like desire to play co-op games together. *00:02* I don't know. *00:02* I think that one could be out first half of next year as well. *00:02* 343? *00:02* E3 is dead forever, but the people that ran E3 announced this new convention, or I guess it's called a conference. *00:02* When's Nintendo gonna do their thing? *00:02* So to me that says the messaging has to be established beforehand or at the thing or at the same day or like in the days leading up. *00:02* Nah, I just don't think I'll have the I don't think I'll have the the console, but maybe we'll see. *00:02* I know that Xbox is going on the 8th of June, and Summer Games Fest is the 6th. *00:02* I mean they gotta hear I I realize it's a hard sell to you know, especially in this age of everything being live service and *00:02* Like it's it's natural it's naturally them working towards the next console. *00:02* That wasn't like a logo. *00:02* Dusk Bloods. *00:02* I think they're gonna make a big deal about it. *00:02* E Day was originally targeting a 25 release date. *00:02* Yeah. *00:02* Yeah, he founded Fig, or he was a part of Fig. *00:02* What do you mean? *00:02* It's not like new episodes have been going out. *00:02* It'll come to the other stuff later. *00:02* So I think they want to start teasing the next big wave out. *00:02* I mean I I mean I they could do it. *00:02* Well, I mean 3DS did have it. *00:02* Okay, so that's like a fast and furious type of thing. *00:02* And I would love for them personally to go back to like the city. *00:02* And maybe Nintendo's taken notice of that and decided, like, okay, we need to really figure out like what this next baseball game's gonna look like and make sure that this thing will be a hit. *00:02* I was gonna say, I mean, the last thing that I'll say like on that front is like I feel like PlayStation and Xbox is *00:02* Even if it's not, you know Could be like an intergalactic type situation where it's like, yeah, we're gonna finally show you this, just confirm it, but like *00:02* I have to change it because mine was Sony Santa Monica's next project is announced. *00:02* I mean, Cam. *00:02* But they keep saying that we're like, we're cooking on the next Xbox. *00:02* We're Halo Studios, everybody. *00:02* Um but and we got some other announcements, you know, the the Zelda game you mentioned, the *00:02* So Yeah. *00:02* Like they do you did not predict anything uh from inside. *00:02* Okay. *00:02* It said winter. *00:02* So like when they revealed Stellar Blade and whenever that was, they're like, Yeah, yeah, yeah. *00:02* For context everybody here, that was a long time ago now. *00:02* You know, I always think Mitch Dyer loved that game. *00:02* There was a tactics game too, right? *00:02* Okay. *00:02* 80. *00:02* You bring in instead of having like nine different Fire Emblem characters, you have nine different Donkey Kong characters. *00:02* There is like a diehard community of people out there that play Super Mario Sluggers still a lot. *00:02* That game is stupid popular right now. *00:02* You know, like I just think it's gonna be one of those types of things. *00:02* Well, what I think it could be is it's A, not a live event. *00:02* I think they would, yeah. *00:02* Hopefully it looks good. *00:02* Boom. *00:02* But they could show Zelda ports, but we're getting Zelda ports of pr so I don't know I don't feel like *00:02* Everybody sells their games directly now digitally and my own. *00:02* Like, I don't know, maybe it gave them time. *00:02* Like that's gonna be a sweet weekend. *00:02* Like, I wouldn't be shocked if Marathon gets delayed after the alpha. *00:02* Yeah. *00:02* But at least we've learned something about it after however many years here. *00:02* I mean in some sense it's not because there's there's everything they could announce, you know? *00:02* It's mainly Star Fox F Zero Mother. *00:02* I I wish we could just recapture that time period. *00:02* Will I record podcasts about them? *00:02* As a reminder to the listener. *00:02* So the Or Zelda Oracle games would be announced as like HD remakes or ports instead of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. *00:02* So I think they could do the same sort of thing this year. *00:02* My third one. *00:02* I think people are starting to realize like need some new IP. *00:02* Maybe we can get both, but you know, it'd probably have to be in back-to-back years. *00:02* We're gonna see banjo shred the gnar. *00:02* Because this presentation, they're spotlighting what is it, Outer Worlds 2? *00:02* I had it as a note, but I'll attach it to it. *00:02* Uh Each Fuzro da Arrow to the knee *00:02* I mean that's what they did this past year. *00:02* I think that's more of a a Steam Deck an Xbox market competition. *00:02* It's arguably the best prediction of the night. *00:02* And I'm actually I like that idea. *00:02* Yeah, they would do it as a skin for sure, but I'm wondering they seem so gung-ho about this like Donkey Kong erasure that like I'm wondering if they'd be like *00:02* That's the one. *00:02* Yeah. *00:02* I don't know. *00:02* It doesn't have to be from PlayStation or it's first party studios. *00:02* That is a bone. *00:02* Skyrim's a province. *00:02* But I agree with everything you just said. *00:02* His introduction. *00:02* They could do it. *00:02* It's a good question. *00:02* I feel like I feel like your first prediction they're kind of primed to show that game off a lot during this direct for June. *00:02* It's up to your interpretation. *00:02* Maybe they give a title to it or they show some sort of theme with it. *00:02* This is kind of a boring one to end on, but I I think this is I've been predicting or saying this for a while. *00:02* So that means everything we predict today will eventually happen. *00:02* I changed it to this. *00:02* That's obvious. *00:02* Like there will be a new Smash on Switch 2, for sure. *00:02* You know, that's exactly what I'm thinking this will be. *00:02* Maybe they I think I mean this isn't an official prediction for me, but I think it would make all the sense in the world to bring the original Air Rider. *00:02* Um I I mean just very straightforward. *00:02* Obviously, there was gamepad functionality that they could probably pull in and modify. *00:02* Did you watch any of that? *00:02* Uh, and it's nice to talk with you again on a podcast. *00:02* That that was the other one. *00:02* I think it you know it'll be there on the bottom, say captured on PS5 Pro or something like that. *00:02* Tell me was that a historian infamous? *00:02* 2K needs it. *00:02* I don't know. *00:02* My next prediction was Xbox teases their next console. *00:02* It'd be fun. *00:02* I mean it's been it'll be four years since the release of Psychonauts 2 *00:02* He's always looked like this in the game. *00:02* So I am I'm looking forward to this iteration. *00:02* This could be a 99 style game release, but my gut says Miyamoto comes out. *00:02* Like if you watch old E3s, they were talking like sales figures, numbers, metrics, demographics, breaking in the markets. *00:02* I I rewatched the Fair Games trailer and was all CG. *00:03* I think I'd even put that higher up the lessony they have in. *00:03* I could see Master Chief Collection coming to PlayStation. *00:03* For Switch 2. *00:03* Uh this feels like the most slam dunk of slam dunks tonight. *00:03* Um do it, do it Nintendo, go full sci-fi with *00:03* So they they're gonna want to announce a new one of those pretty soon. *00:03* The thing though is is theoretically, press in some capacity, is going to be at this event. *00:03* Like a uh uh on M yeah, it was just a reveal event, 22-minute episode reveal event for the Xbox 360 that was posted on MTV, and it was *00:03* Check everything out there. *00:03* Like, that was a tough day for those audiences. *00:03* Yeah. *00:03* Gotta get it ready for the TV show on Prime, you know what I'm saying? *00:03* The first level of the first game is set there. *00:03* I feel like they want to throw a bone to people eventually you're with banjo stuff. *00:03* Pop. *00:03* What else comes out on October 2nd? *00:03* Outer Worlds. *00:03* The people that ruined Halo? *00:03* Kirby Kirby Air Riders. *00:03* There's only 40. *00:03* And I think it will be out in 2026. *00:03* Um because they're gonna want to keep supporting Switch One for at least the next *00:03* I went through them. *00:03* First off, let me say this too. *00:03* Yeah. *00:03* Yeah, I was trying to think of. *00:03* I feel like that you can just throw everybody a bone by like, you know. *00:03* He's probably fully in Death Stranding promotional load. *00:03* Anyway, that's clearly the Odyssey team's next game. *00:03* That is one that they would make in the game. *00:03* So Kirby has a deadline of October 31st. *00:03* Similar logic to you, where you were like, they're in system seller mode, they gotta show Mario. *00:03* And obviously this has kind of slowed down. *00:03* So Okay. *00:03* Like those Switch versions could be fifty bucks or sixty, you know, Nintendo, whatever. *00:03* Like are we going to have to start, you know Is this really gonna be the E3 successor? *00:03* Yeah, that so yeah. *00:03* It wasn't like again, going back to GTA six, like Rockstar revealed after that. *00:03* Oh my gosh. *00:03* I didn't go full tilt here, but I want I want it. *00:03* Do they announce the next Halo game proper? *00:03* So like I feel like October has to be it. *00:03* Yes. *00:03* And then I said punch out would come back, which also did not happen. *00:03* It's real. *00:03* So like either super late April or super early June, there's always an event somewhere between that window. *00:03* Okay. *00:03* Just like Nintendo puts out a Zelda game every year and has for quite a while. *00:03* So with that being said, we're gonna get a new Sly Cooper from another company. *00:03* I think it's strange. *00:03* You don't think he comes out with a big thing? *00:03* You don't want to do June because it's right after GTA 6. *00:03* But that that campaign was fun. *00:03* There's another expansion. *00:03* You did, that's right. *00:03* Uh uh do we see live press conferences again? *00:03* I'm your host, Max Roberts, and I have the pleasure of being joined once again. *00:03* But we're not here to talk about chapter select per se. *00:03* They'll probably do like another beta for Marathon, or they'll do a beta, not an alpha. *00:03* Yeah, they announced like a new studio and a new game at the same time. *00:03* There's seven total. *00:03* I'm weird. *00:03* Um, so that initial teaser, they teased the province that they're going to. *00:03* His collab. *00:03* They're gonna call it a day. *00:03* It's like it's February, it's still winter. *00:03* Yeah. *00:03* Maybe. *00:03* We're just gonna do a real dumb one here, real straightforward. *00:03* Um I'm just gonna dive right in my fourth one because it's similar but kind of the opposite. *00:03* And then E-day. *00:03* Okay. *00:03* We can't do that. *00:03* There's a new John Wick movie in the middle of all that. *00:03* I'm itching to do one, actually. *00:03* So we've just we're out early, which I'm kind of excited about because while the rumor mill is obviously always is *00:03* Maybe. *00:03* But I think I tried to be level-headed. *00:03* Now, please, if you want to predict uh anything from Insomniac, by all means go ahead. *00:03* Yeah. *00:03* Um just give like a proper flavor for the game instead of this weird people screaming at the screen while Jordan Peel and him talk about it. *00:03* Uh you said E3 prediction episode. *00:03* It's gonna be in Las Vegas in April 2026. *00:03* Yeah. *00:03* They've done a showcase or a state of play every year for four straight years. *00:03* See? *00:03* So Okay. *00:03* Okay. *00:03* Fair games. *00:03* Like I imagine and I will say that at the very least, PSSR is an investment into PS *00:03* Um, especially if Naughty Dog wasn't attached to it. *00:03* Um The pop for that would be humongous. *00:03* Good old Philly Spencer. *00:03* Here's they'll probably have uh what was it called? *00:03* Okay. *00:03* And it was the first year it was the first year that they were like, We have it. *00:03* I think they could just announce that and everybody would get hyped for it. *00:03* With Switch 2 having come out just days before. *00:03* Okay. *00:03* And not all of it was bad. *00:03* I don't know enough about this. *00:03* So I think that could be the time to like have a teaser come out. *00:03* Here's my caveat. *00:03* Yeah, I don't either. *00:03* And same same with like if they do these ports or whatever else, like *00:03* I'm the thing to note about this is again, it's not a convention, it's a conference. *00:03* I'm close. *00:03* Yeah, they just scene. *00:03* I said it was port city. *00:03* At once. *00:03* So my predictions this year, I'm doing something I don't believe I've done before. *00:03* Yeah. *00:03* It got delayed. *00:03* Like that conversation is different than what it was in Brawl. *00:03* I wish more companies did this. *00:03* So like No, the original teaser was just him staring at his computer. *00:03* But you could obviously just up resolution and frame late, it maybe include something special for switch to modes. *00:03* Like the price of it at least is going up. *00:03* Maybe. *00:03* Which I know is only, you know, six weeks after the Switch console itself is out, but like I think I can just wait until that happens. *00:03* If you know, if Kirby Air Riders was originally going to be teased last year and say 25, that makes some more sense. *00:03* You've won me over. *00:03* Sure. *00:03* Well I was gonna say I almost I I didn't do a if if Bioshock 4 shows up it's gonna be *00:03* Banjo Kazooie Return. *00:03* So like I just think that game's gonna keep getting kicked down the road perpetually here. *00:03* I think they're gonna announce, you know, we've done we have more games releasing them ever, but we're still a hardware company at heart. *00:03* Um, at least for now. *00:03* And maybe even the framework. *00:03* They would improve yeah, they would obviously improve everything for the new hardware. *00:03* Okay. *00:03* Baseball is the one they have not done yet. *00:03* Like we don't know, like at all. *00:03* It's insane. *00:03* Like so I got the spirit, like the spirit of your guests is correct. *00:03* I said Everwild would turn up, didn't happen. *00:03* That's true. *00:03* And I only even really say that just because of Death Strange 2 on the beach. *00:03* We're just a little early. *00:03* Right. *00:03* Like you reading me back uh my ones from last quite funny. *00:03* They've had their heads down. *00:03* I mean the the Hyrule Warriors game, obviously. *00:03* They'll say you have 30 days to buy this new version of the game. *00:03* Like I just it gets old and I wish that like I I think what I miss *00:03* I saw Logan and then went downstairs in the mall, because the movie theater was in the mall. *00:03* Like there'll be a lot to get excited about over this coming month. *00:04* Is that the first? *00:04* We'll spot the slide collection today. *00:04* I think everybody's golf is new. *00:04* And I think that proved that though. *00:04* I don't know. *00:04* Yeah. *00:04* I I think this is probably the lowest hanging fruit out of all my predictions. *00:04* I feel like that's like an annual thing. *00:04* Like they've known it's not a lot of people. *00:04* Contraband, if that doesn't show back up, I think it's because it's like in development hell or something real weird. *00:04* But yeah, home consoles did. *00:04* I mean there's gonna be a new game of some sorts, and by new game that can even qualify as a remaster. *00:04* It's gonna be in a very expensive time whenever that game comes out. *00:04* But Summer Game Fest is good for the third parties and the indies and the things that Jeff likes. *00:04* Can you please release this? *00:04* You showed me this the other day. *00:04* So I just and but they have these lingering ghosts. *00:04* I don't know. *00:04* Granted, it is their most premium tier with two terabytes and a disk drive, but it is more expensive than a PS5 Pro. *00:04* Um I'm sure they probably personally enjoy doing that and like it might even be good for their hardware team to do something like that. *00:04* Elder Scrolls 6, Colon, whatever. *00:04* It would be fun. *00:04* Would rollback even work on a platform fighter like Smash? *00:04* Actually actually maybe that's the biggest question. *00:04* And I bet they announced that as well. *00:04* They kind of were like the weekend before. *00:04* Of like how the Xbox three sixty was revealed and it was just some random *00:04* But I think that's gonna do it, everybody. *00:04* Keel threes. *00:04* But like yeah, we're probably that'll be out in I mean I guess the whole back half of this year is now Nintendo's oyster because Crintheft Auto shifted. *00:04* And then on top of that, just like PlayStation's in a weird spot right now, which we'll talk about here more in a bit. *00:04* We were very hopeful for Donkey Kong. *00:04* Like it was time for Kirby to come back. *00:04* He did not, as far as I re recall. *00:04* Um I yeah I said there would be a demo, a gameplay demo for indie. *00:04* It might be the worst. *00:04* No. *00:04* Now I don't think we would get said new game this year. *00:04* Uh like we had Freedom Wars come back, Patapon. *00:04* Um so they're slowly showing a willingness to just like give other s publishers or studios the green light to work with their IP or *00:04* It's quite possible. *00:04* I think they will just, you know, they'll let the product continue to exist out there. *00:04* You know what I'm saying? *00:04* E day's coming. *00:04* I just think they shouldn't. *00:04* That like that bubbles up with it. *00:04* We all know Fizzant is actually gonna be star Robert Pattinson, so *00:04* I think so. *00:04* But my ultimate prediction is I really just do think it is a new version of Ultimate with five to ten new characters and *00:04* That's pushing it. *00:04* We'll see what spawns out of it. *00:04* Um we'll see. *00:04* I will. *00:04* Um I mean they will, but you know, it's just it's just strange. *00:04* You said that Gear Six and a Gears of War trilogy would be announced. *00:04* It would just it would just barely beat Switch 1 and PlayStation 5. *00:04* You were just one away. *00:04* So obviously the lead up time officially *00:04* Yeah. *00:04* That would be sick. *00:04* Dusk Bloods. *00:04* They're gonna be like, he's finally back, he's saved, and it'll just be a skater skin for Tony Hawk. *00:04* And if they did, I could see them it feels a little weird now with gears reloaded just being announced. *00:04* Would play again. *00:04* Like that's too much prime for the market. *00:04* Because I'm sad. *00:04* Um but do you think we're gonna slowly start tiptoeing back to what e3 used to be and maybe *00:04* I've been I've been select. *00:04* Or maybe for those who are uninitiated. *00:04* Yeah. *00:04* Do we I mean they have to be doing something, right? *00:04* Bloodborne for PS5. *00:04* I mean we talked about like Doom getting released like within one year. *00:04* I feel like you might have something like this on your end, but uh and I want to differentiate this though. *00:04* Hasn't done a new game uh since uh Psychonauts 2. *00:04* I think the timing makes sense, because Pygonauts 2 was well enough in the rearview mirror that it's a *00:04* My last one is slightly specific-ish-ish, but also loose enough where I can *00:04* Um but I think they can make a more seamless transition from one console to the next, more so than ever before. *00:04* Once E3 got into the hands of the fans and it was more tailored toward how do we communicate to fans *00:04* Maybe not the first two and the spin-offs and stuff like that. *00:04* Last year was interesting because Sony did their state of play at in May, and I think we actually had to predict it before we recorded the show. *00:04* Two, I mean that kind of tells you right there that they're looking to establish *00:04* Yes. *00:04* Judgment, there's like a score being kept in the top corner of the game at all times. *00:04* They're gonna call it a day for now and kick the can down the road for Switch 3 where they'll maybe reboot it or something like that. *00:04* Oh my gosh. *00:04* Uh you said perfect dark would be missing. *00:04* Um But I think that is a game. *00:04* Then we'll get sly. *00:04* I think once that train gets rolling though, it's probably hard to stop it. *00:04* But you gotta you gotta play with the Joy Con too. *00:04* Now, what I almost did with Sony was as I said, it truly is the year of Kojima, and we get a pheasant teaser as well. *00:04* Because it you just have to like reboot it almost, I feel like. *00:04* Like they had multiple live performances from hey everybody, we just saw the Xbox 360 revealed. *00:04* Probably not. *00:04* Well, I mean not a maybe. *00:04* Let's just be real. *00:04* Uh okay, two games from Sony Santa Monica. *00:04* But the sixth one was Intergalactic gets a gameplay trailer. *00:04* And it gets more action-y from there. *00:04* Just one though. *00:04* In my head, I knew it was twenty-six. *00:04* So like there's the single continent of Tamriel, but within Tamriel, there's like nine different, I think it's nine. *00:04* I hope it's not, but I can see it. *00:04* I don't know. *00:04* And it's th there's another 3D Mario. *00:04* Cause that game is better than one. *00:04* And I have it's gonna be by the seat of my pants here. *00:04* But PlayStation's, you know, cancelled all sorts of things left and right, and they've had to, you know *00:04* Anyway, we were clearly off on a lot of these things, but we were. *00:04* I have one more prediction I want us to make at the end of this to close out the big three. *00:04* Maybe. *00:04* Like, where is that at? *00:04* So you can coming up. *00:04* I just whatever. *00:04* I'm just saying his performance in tenet, you put that with Kojima and an espionage thing, like I totally could believe it. *00:04* Don't you know? *00:04* We're not those people. *00:04* Because I I feel like in some sense we got everything. *00:04* And we're introducing these 15, 20 million like *00:04* I got news for you. *00:04* But I do think a trailer for the next movie would be shown. *00:04* So like November's out of the way. *00:04* Again, we're doing a prediction, you know, however many months in advance. *00:04* So I definitely definitely am looking forward to doing that more here with you too. *00:04* Red Dead 2, I gotta play. *00:04* So yeah, it's Sony's difficult to predict, but yeah, I I they're gonna do something. *00:04* And it's like, well no, I mean it's twenty years. *00:04* Uh number four Judas release date is revealed. *00:04* It took me a second. *00:04* That's something. *00:04* They're working on their next project. *00:04* And I think it will just be the same game with the promise of like another fighter's past. *00:04* I'm really close. *00:04* I was gonna say that's that's the Venom is the thing. *00:04* Um they may want to go after simply because Death Stranding 2 is out at the end of June. *00:04* Like, that's the the big games from them this year. *00:04* They'll do something. *00:04* I think it's this is a a lame and or vague one. *00:04* I just and I think an uncharted game would feel *00:04* That would be pretty sweet. *00:04* Because I'd play through that with you. *00:04* Whew. *00:04* We'll probably get that expansion re *00:04* Hey, the game's set here. *00:04* I mean and uh Phil's teased it a lot so like they've not really shied away from it whatsoever. *00:04* And so I think if they tease it this year and then it's out next year, potentially ahead of PS6. *00:04* Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying. *00:04* I mean obviously I think Sakurai would be working on this if this is a real thing that does get announced. *00:04* And the big way to do that is to come out with a Zelda or a Mario or both. *00:04* I I don't feel like that hard. *00:04* But I think to just kind of amp up that launch excitement, especially since it just came out, they're like *00:04* Like, E3 was a big important thing because *00:04* I mean once Donkey Kong comes out and I see it in a store on a shelf, that's when I'm gonna be like, oh. *00:04* Well, they haven't. *00:04* It's just weird. *00:04* I forgot that they changed the name of the studio. *00:04* Alright. *00:04* You know, we got the Donkey Kong and we got uh *00:04* Some of. *00:04* A major loss. *00:04* It could be January or February, but winter. *00:04* Has this ever happened where consoles have been more expensive? *00:04* Yeah. *00:04* GTA's out. *00:04* It's presumably. *00:04* Sorry. *00:04* And then it'd be like They just start gaslighting the new one. *00:04* I don't have I don't have any attachment to this series. *00:04* Don't you mean your caveat? *00:04* I'll allow you to tally the score for this one in hindsight. *00:04* Not meaningful, but like they like stir that pot because *00:04* So you were right, it is him sitting at the computer, but my memory of it being tied to Smash was correct. *00:04* I will. *00:04* No, I guess this is the second year we'll have predicted. *00:05* And there has been an annual release. *00:05* Alright, here's my next one. *00:05* Like you just like get it done. *00:05* Like, I mean just talking about it from like a. *00:05* I think they they always tease their things out. *00:05* Sure, why not? *00:05* Okay, my last one. *00:05* To have some at the very least it's a skin. *00:05* When they add when they add melee, when they add melee to NSO, that it's just the new Donkey Kong skin in melee. *00:05* Okay. *00:05* Yes. *00:05* But like they are. *00:05* If this this conference is coming to pass and all the players are gonna be there, right? *00:05* Just a year off. *00:05* I said five more HD ports didn't happen. *00:05* Now, I'll I'll say this. *00:05* So it's like a semi-regular cadence. *00:05* That would be sick. *00:05* Overdose Pheasant will be teased in Death Stranding 2 when the new snake character is revealed to be named John Phizzant. *00:05* Sticking with the theme of Mario. *00:05* Two left. *00:05* They brought back just about every single franchise on Switch. *00:05* Because back in 2021, in episode 9 of MFP, I said 3D Donkey Khan would come back. *00:05* But like you have to be able to throw together some sort of small incubation team of like 30 to 50 people and just make a *00:05* Okay. *00:05* I mean pop. *00:05* We'll go with this one. *00:05* They've already delayed it. *00:05* Two things tied together. *00:05* Cause they always have announced like what their next hardware is, like pretty far in advance. *00:05* 3DS did. *00:05* Like everyone buys Mario Kart, only if the hardcore will buy Kirby. *00:05* Keely threes. *00:05* That's not what the box of the PS5 says. *00:05* Um, I mean they had already won Game of the Year, and I think it takes two sold like 20 or 25 million copies, which is announced a big crazy *00:05* Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. *00:05* I don't remember in Second Son, was it *00:05* Honestly, I think in the January developer direct that they do *00:05* I mean I should. *00:05* It's like, uh well you have this coming out, but then as you know, when this is ending then and or season two is starting, and then when that's ending then the you know this show's starting, so it's like *00:05* Right. *00:05* Like Right. *00:05* Doublefind shows up with little Timmy Schaefer talking about a new game. *00:05* It's it's gone around it's gone full circle over the past 20 or 25 years from being *00:05* When we approach this time of the year now, I am sad. *00:05* Which one do I choose? *00:05* Like they have infinite infinite money. *00:05* They did not. *00:05* Um because they had that game release in like 2016 or 17, I want to say. *00:05* It's revealed. *00:05* I think they're gonna have more. *00:05* Yeah, they're kind of quiet after this. *00:05* Maybe. *00:05* Like it's I mean the business is subscriptions and publishing now. *00:05* I'm going to say a new Halo game will be announced far too early. *00:05* That's yeah, that's kind of what I'm saying. *00:05* I don't know. *00:05* Because this is so for people who are unaware *00:05* And I'll lick the cartridge. *00:05* Logan is finishing it up, so we'll record that soon. *00:05* Look forward to a new season of Chapter Select centered around Metroid later this year. *00:05* And I also think could be why we're seeing kind of a stacked *00:05* That sounds about right. *00:05* It was like April 30th, I think, was when it was *00:05* Like without question, but Bungie. *00:05* Look at Microsoft. *00:05* That's calm. *00:05* Um I'm trying to decide where to start. *00:05* So I c you know, there's still plenty of time left in the year for E Day to come out, especially since it's this tighter, more *00:05* Um well that's because now they're working on *00:05* Air Riders. *00:05* I think it's somewhat on GameCube it is. *00:05* But I'm like the super traditions just wrapped up. *00:05* But I'm also gonna imagine they didn't really bat an eye when *00:05* With Prime 4 being re-revealed and out in 24. *00:05* Um but again, we it's not a formal prediction because apparently *00:05* Now Lego Horizon was a last year and then out last year. *00:05* Claire Obscure, Blue Prince, the indie game. *00:05* Get sound shapes back. *00:05* Like that was like true desperation. *00:05* Which is crazy. *00:05* It's like we have big releases for Game Pass at a pretty good clip. *00:05* We I think we get like a 360 PS3 scenario where one just leads ahead. *00:05* Yep. *00:05* I think this could be a very smart business move. *00:05* I'll just play them and talk to the sky about my experience afterwards or something. *00:05* I'm not feeling great about this year, to be honest. *00:05* That's Switch T weekend. *00:05* I think they're gonna tell people that he's doing something. *00:05* Yes. *00:05* Because that's kind of one of the things that's going to be missing from these releases. *00:05* All right, let's stay in that vein. *00:05* It's going to be the most powerful console ever. *00:05* Like a new Smash, just kind of a a roster reset. *00:05* That whole Donkey Kong uh universe is dead. *00:05* Here's my favorite one. *00:05* Um I think it is the most plausible of like Nintendo's franchises that has been have been on the ice. *00:05* Obviously, we talk like every day, but nice to be behind the mic with you again. *00:05* Uh and it's targeting a home console. *00:05* Maybe this is a a more gameplay-focused trailer. *00:05* All the rumors say it's not Jill, which is so weird. *00:05* I get like a random itch to play a shooter campaign or two. *00:05* But it's also I'm already getting weird vibes just from that first Switch 2 reveal event. *00:05* Um I really it's weird though. *00:05* Like, just because a new game comes out doesn't mean the old one goes away from like the tournament and *00:05* So like we're not getting a Zelda game here. *00:05* I remember getting switch at midnight. *00:05* I tried not to get too hyperbolic. *00:05* I think they're gonna do *00:05* I think so. *00:05* Yeah. *00:05* Oh no. *00:05* Now in my little notes section *00:05* Right. *00:05* Yeah. *00:05* What are you talking about? *00:05* Like maybe if he comes back to it in a few years, maybe. *00:05* Like, I don't know. *00:05* And even when the directs started before that and then it just kind of took over during the E3 time. *00:05* Let's do it. *00:05* You ready? *00:05* Because if it goes up *00:05* It probably helps them to some extent to like create an interstitial console because it helps them probably have a better idea of where the next *00:05* It's not at all the same. *00:05* Okay, that's beast mode as well from uh Gears 3 where you can play as the locust instead. *00:05* I I hope so. *00:05* Yeah, there's a Gears tactics game. *00:05* I want to play. *00:05* I mean Kojima's juggling all these things behind the scenes as well. *00:05* And back in the day it was like you could you could know a year in advance how everything was gonna flow, pretty much. *00:05* And I know we're not going to do it *00:05* Yes, then you predicted Donkey Kong in 2022. *00:05* It it Asus is doing it. *00:05* It's uh it's real. *00:05* Like, we're not that it won't be exciting to, you know, have a new piece of tech come out or anything like that, but *00:05* So I'm looking forward to Interstellar, the uh blasphemous *00:05* Just give take money from France. *00:05* Yeah. *00:05* So it's pretty clear that like they're starting to turn the page from that. *00:05* What would be really interesting if they went the handheld route like you're talking about, besides the fact that Asus is launching something. *00:05* They can kind of tie their their ships together in a in a bit of a way. *00:05* I think they're gonna come out and announce a Halo game. *00:05* But it has to be stylized that way. *00:05* And uh Kirby Air Riders was announced alongside the Switch, which will allegedly be out this year. *00:06* And that's obviously like a huge live service multiplayer co-op team type shooter. *00:06* And even PlayStation recently *00:06* Can we why is no one talking about how Ghost of Yote is clearly Sly Cooper and the Thievious Raccoonas? *00:06* He comes out with an apple. *00:06* What's he gonna be talking about? *00:06* Because they're gonna want to talk about that game in some capacity, but I don't know what they can get people excited about, you know, that close to launch. *00:06* The five three four five *00:06* So Okay. *00:06* I'll uh I'll just say this now since it it's one of my backups anyway. *00:06* They've probably been documenting said project. *00:06* That would be that's an odd that's not an official one, but that's an off-the-cuff prediction here. *00:06* My caveat is that uh the A in Splatoon has to be a four. *00:06* Because I think it's funny. *00:06* He was like Isabel, you're invited. *00:06* Like today, the day we're recording this is the 20th anniversary of the *00:06* So it's definitely hard actually hard. *00:06* Uh but from Sony itself, it's it's a little strange. *00:06* Which is *00:06* Yeah. *00:06* We I think we had started playing them, but that's different. *00:06* October 2nd, 2025. *00:06* Like I feel like I think it also like Kojima's in the conversation, especially here this June. *00:06* Ultimate Ultimate, which will be a full sixty dollar remaster upgraded version of that game. *00:06* You think it's gonna be the holy game day of uh games? *00:06* Like you knew in advance like when everything was gonna happen. *00:06* No. *00:06* I'll get one here eventually. *00:06* But thank you all oh so much for listening. *00:06* Um *00:06* Logan and I have been predicting all this stuff for a good uh probably decade. *00:06* But what will they show at this time? *00:06* That was like six years ago, I want to say. *00:06* Bloodborne for PS five comes to pass. *00:06* They officially delayed it? *00:06* Skyrim's a province. *00:06* A contraband for sure, all we got was a conceptual teaser trailer for that game. *00:06* And then Clockwork Revolution just feels like a very um *00:06* My prediction though. *00:06* Surprisingly difficult. *00:06* I think they just have to do something with Star Fox. *00:06* I mean, even famously, uh developers would go to that or CES. *00:06* I do want to say though, as like a time capsule thing and a very selfish thing. *00:06* Uh Indiana Jones obviously was. *00:06* Um you did get a new Zelda game of some sort would be revealed. *00:06* And then you said Star Fox would be comeback in the *00:06* I don't know. *00:06* He's been a little sidetracked, I guess, by his company. *00:06* So I don't know, but I think Horizon is discussed in a meaningful way this year. *00:06* Um I think a dormant IP, Sony IP is revived. *00:06* So there's my annual banjo adjacent prediction. *00:06* Um and E Day is supposed to be leaning more into the horror based off of players. *00:06* I think an Xbox handheld is announced here. *00:06* Now, I don't think that the the market for Switch 2 and and *00:06* Let me play it at some point here. *00:06* Every home console since N64 has had a new Smash. *00:06* I hope it happens. *00:06* Yeah, well that's yes. *00:06* Um I look forward to it. *00:06* Thank you all for joining us on our annual tradition here, however many years strong. *00:06* So like I ramp up is the idea here. *00:06* That was revealed. *00:06* I think that's a also an acceptable thing to do for a game like Smash. *00:06* So um I really do think it's time for Star Fox. *00:06* We'll see. *00:06* Yeah. *00:06* You know, we'll see. *00:06* It's easier to type that than say it, but go check him out at comicbook. *00:06* Like have the season launch into Beyond and then obviously do Beyond after it comes out. *00:06* We're here because it's our annual E3 Keel E3s Keel Keel threes predictions episode. *00:06* Sure. *00:06* All they can know how to make are Xbox controllers. *00:06* That's very likely, I wanna say that contraband is actually the most likely out of all of those. *00:06* Um, and that's where Outer Wilds started was Fig as well. *00:06* Maybe you're designing your own city in some capacity instead of just an island. *00:06* Okay. *00:06* And then I'm having my friends come over to play the new Mario Kart on that Saturday. *00:06* So we gotta get back to that too. *00:06* J GTA six uh looks insane. *00:06* Said Banjo would turn up, didn't happen. *00:06* I think they do have like some sort of God of War interstitial here. *00:06* I'm gonna beat you to the punch on this one. *00:06* Um so Sony, just partner up with a government of a country of your choosing. *00:06* And I I feel like they believe in it. *00:06* Like, I don't think they *00:06* Hey hey, how good that is. *00:06* Uh we still will not see Fable gameplay. *00:06* That's gonna be their big highlight game where they're gonna do like a snap of the show deep dive. *00:06* I think they're gonna announce something with it. *00:06* I think it's kind of funny that we have two major racing games from Nintendo out in the same year. *00:06* But like that's different. *00:06* And I think maybe the reason why it hasn't happened yet is because honestly, I think of all of those *00:06* Um that game is big. *00:06* It played after Isabelle's Smash trailer. *00:06* com. *00:06* Yeah. *00:06* You don't think it'll be um *00:06* That's so disgusting that that's a switch to exclusive. *00:06* Yeah, I guess I've not even really thought about that. *00:06* Um so yeah, I kind of feel like those two games are gonna come back in some way. *00:06* Another little bit of a straightforward- I feel like a lot of my Xbox ones here were straightforward other than *00:06* Nintendo, my sweet. *00:06* I I'm I'm doing a lot of big swing franchise predictions here, I feel like, but then again, I I guess *00:06* Something like that *00:06* Year off. *00:06* We can depend on MOB the show. *00:06* 0 on their hand *00:06* And Microsoft just announced that all of their Xbox consoles are going up quite significantly in price. *00:06* And I could see I could see Chris. *00:06* Um, and that's still highly possible. *00:06* Uh just you know, hanging out. *00:06* I've been known for this kind of a prediction. *00:06* I always refer to games like this. *00:06* This is clearly for business *00:06* It's almost like this *00:06* So this was in 2023. *00:06* That was not true. *00:06* Now that I think about this a little bit more, my first two predictions, I'm immediately like, yeah, I don't know. *00:06* Bring the French back. *00:06* Tom Warren. *00:06* Gotta count pop. *00:06* But I I wanted to make the prediction a bit more interesting, so I paired the two together. *00:06* That would be really cool. *00:06* Um Game Chat. *00:06* If they do this proposed remaster of Smash Ultimate *00:06* The next Animal Crossing title is teased. *00:06* Then the Summer Games Fest is the following day. *00:06* But usually we start to kind of hear things like, Oh yeah, there will be a PlayStation station event in May or June, or there will be this or there will be that. *00:06* It looks like last year *00:06* Maybe outside of that. *00:06* And I only say that from like the the outspoken hater gamer perspective. *00:06* I know that wasn't specifically Sony, but *00:06* So that'll be good. *00:06* The night is d just as dark before the dawn, Logan. *00:06* And so that then at that point it's like, well, let's just, you know, hold it till August, September or something like that. *00:06* Some good missions in that game, so *00:06* Is it Yote? *00:06* Spice up the SEO. *00:06* And I do think that October makes sense for Metroid Prime, given their current kind of schedule. *00:06* I feel like December is too late. *00:06* Okay. *00:06* But the E3 itself, the chauffeur, that was set up before E3. *00:06* That that era is over, unfortunately. *00:06* net. *00:06* No, I didn't this one I watched the trailer again and I went with a no, but I would concede to giving it a yes if you wanna *00:06* Yeah, I didn't. *00:06* Uh because he's done that and has a game on PS5. *00:06* A bone. *00:06* I was like, there's no way it's this year. *00:06* We're in Unreal. *00:06* Could you imagine a 120 smash? *00:06* Anyway, I I like I said I could talk a long time about this because I think this is really the most fascinating *00:06* I don't know how you feel or where you're at with any and all of this, but like it's it's a strange month right now. *00:06* So yeah, I think I think we're just early. *00:06* And they're gonna announce, even if it's just *00:06* The studio is like Sky something, right? *00:06* Everybody knows it's not coming out this *00:06* Like, keep because you want to keep people subscribed, right? *00:06* Or like, we're working on Halo 7. *00:06* Like, yes, it will prompt people to go get Switch 2 because they want to have the best version of that game, but also *00:06* And it it was straight up lifted out of Uncharted One where they put like a a German U-boat in a mountain to just put snow around it. *00:07* I think it's the PS4 version of that game. *00:07* Let's do it. *00:07* And then they could go back and be quiet for the next *00:07* That could be like their *00:07* Uh gameplay for Kirby Air Riders is shown off. *00:07* Yeah, and a last episode with Peter, same thing. *00:07* I don't know. *00:07* We have taken such a break from that show, like recording-wise at least. *00:07* Uh yeah. *00:07* One day. *00:07* They just announced two new studios within the first five months of this year after the failure of Concord. *00:07* I don't even believe this now that I'm saying it out loud, but I'll say it out loud anyway. *00:07* Yeah, yeah. *00:07* So I think we're gonna see some new stuff here. *00:07* That's right. *00:07* So *00:07* I think though that uh *00:07* Sure. *00:07* I'm excited for Night Rain this month. *00:07* Yeah, I think they're gonna have more. *00:07* The horde mode. *00:07* History has shown us that. *00:07* But I think a reset, like you you almost have to approach it a little differently for mechanics and the beauty of it *00:07* So I mean we we could talk about this for 30 minutes, so I will tr try not to here, but like *00:07* That game was gonna be perfect on Switch 2. *00:07* I think the original teaser for *00:07* Uh he may or may not write the review for Donkey Kong Bonanza. *00:07* If you would like to see the show notes for this episode, you can check them out on your podcast player or go over to maxfrequency. *00:07* They have infinite infinite money and infinite time pretty much. *00:07* They obviously haven't yet. *00:07* So like we're almost five years, four or five years removed from that. *00:07* Yeah. *00:07* Well, we've talked about doing a season of the show on the gears. *00:07* They did two and Modern Warfare two and three back to back too. *00:07* Yeah, I think that makes a lot of sense. *00:07* I could see I could see that. *00:07* September's the only one with a question mark around that. *00:07* But *00:07* Yeah. *00:07* Okay. *00:07* Yeah, he's like the COD section. *00:07* But I have a ninth one that I think is even more unlikely than my sixth. *00:07* Um *00:07* You don't want to tick them off. *00:07* I mean, I I just want the two and three remasters. *00:07* Um let's start there with Sakurai. *00:07* I I think they announced the 3D Mario. *00:07* Too many games for $60. *00:07* So I just decided to throw it on the same day as Ghost of Yote just for the uh the history there. *00:07* Or all of, but some of. *00:07* So it would have to be afterward. *00:07* Yeah. *00:07* It bubbles back up with another trailer. *00:07* It's just three IP. *00:07* Blue Point's gotta crank something out. *00:07* Doing the game pass coming to the game pass. *00:07* So I mean obviously Outer Worlds 2 is getting a date. *00:07* I think grounded is done, right? *00:07* I don't know. *00:07* I feel like Kirby could be September-ish, yeah. *00:07* It's weird because of the switch online version of Wind Waker, too, like *00:07* They removed the 8K on the case. *00:07* Okay. *00:07* True. *00:07* I was at *00:07* What is this? *00:07* Yeah, so like I think I think we're gonna get something *00:07* And I feel like if it was sooner, I would have just said the month. *00:07* Not that that would be an easy effort. *00:07* How does that how does that adjust the timing of things, you know? *00:07* I'm starting to have that like *00:07* So uh I sucked last year. *00:07* That's exactly what I was gonna say. *00:07* Not the same game at all. *00:07* Yeah, I mean they did that with they did that basically with eight and four. *00:07* Um *00:07* But Microsoft is reportedly still working on their own dedicated one as well. *00:07* I forgot that. *00:07* Remember? *00:07* I do think though *00:07* Because I don't know how they scale back the roster, you know, keep all the *00:07* I would alm like absolutely not happening. *00:07* 2. *00:07* If it's not, then I lose. *00:07* Um *00:07* Like every major publisher in the games industry is gonna be at this thing. *00:07* Like, and so that's what I'm trying to *00:07* I think I'm about to cancel cancel my pre-order, conversely. *00:07* I want to play the PS2. *00:07* It showed up. *00:07* I mean so they just kind of know. *00:07* And you you did that. *00:07* Alright, so I'll I'll skip over six. *00:07* So you don't want to overlap with that too. *00:07* Probably will be announced this summer. *00:07* Now, I do want to just add a little bit to this. *00:07* Um, I mean they're clearly doing a lot with the with Halo right now. *00:07* It's just like Waluigi and *00:07* I feel like I'll get it thrown into this like, oh when are we gonna see this? *00:07* Probably just gonna have to be later in the year. *00:07* So I feel like we're coming in a little fresh, not actually knowing what's coming out, which is exciting. *00:07* But I think this year has been so I think the Switch 2's really probab it probably thrown a lot of stuff off. *00:07* Yeah. *00:07* They didn't ax The Last of Us online really, but that's that's a joke. *00:07* And I think uh like it just feels like this is the year for Judas. *00:07* It was *00:07* Like they're just like, and now it's because that was actually a thing a long time ago. *00:07* Alright. *00:07* But there has been this revival of sluggers. *00:07* And E3's not around anymore. *00:07* It already is confirmed to have *00:07* So it'll be fun. *00:07* I also guessed that Detective Pikachu was coming back for Switch, but I paired that with like Kid Akers or something. *00:07* Like if they have a big shadow or not shadow drop, if they have a big surprise announcement at whatever event this announcement *00:07* That's Game Fest. *00:07* Yeah. *00:07* No, right. *00:07* And the main protagonist is Leon. *00:07* Don't forget the Funko Pops. *00:07* I almost had a Gears prediction, but I didn't. *00:07* Yeah, they did. *00:07* Oh, that's a that's a r I think that might be a a rumor actually that they're doing that *00:07* What do you think? *00:07* He could talk about how the Nintendo theme park had just opened in Florida. *00:07* No. *00:07* Okay. *00:07* I was gonna say, this is um I wanted to bring this up. *00:07* Instead of, well, maybe Nintendo's at the end of June, but Sony's at the end of May, and then Xbox is in the middle of that, like *00:07* But Keeley will still do Summer Games Fest. *00:07* So it is uh imagine when you own the golden goose, you don't rush the golden *00:07* Um you said four remasters at a minimum will appear and they don't have to be first party. *00:07* I said DK sixty-four would come to NSO. *00:07* Well it'd be exciting, I don't know, but yeah, they'll they'll do something. *00:07* Ah yes. *00:07* Like I thought they'd keep that machine going. *00:07* They're gonna be like, it's finally coming to PlayStation. *00:07* Insomniac is like in the super weird limbo, especially with the leaks. *00:07* The PS5 Pro will never be mentioned verbally. *00:07* And they obviously started. *00:07* Give me give me your first prediction for the big *00:07* Like I said, part two of things that Logan uh is returning to the well with once again. *00:07* Like, they have to know it by now. *00:07* So that would be cool. *00:07* B Yeah. *00:07* I would like to see that. *00:07* And I think it is. *00:07* I don't think I predicted anything from Insomniac last year. *00:08* Like he really liked judgment. *00:08* Where are we at? *00:08* Now, in my peak, I'm talking about the next home console. *00:08* It's another one on the list. *00:08* Splatoon four is announced. *00:08* And they said it's interesting, so Zelda game just said winter. *00:08* So I think *00:08* So I thought that was kind of funny for you to go, no Doom, then nail it. *00:08* Just *00:08* Clearly, France is big this year. *00:08* So I'm well, I'll say this. *00:08* Let's do it. *00:08* Thank you. *00:08* Probably, you know. *00:08* I don't know if he still does, but *00:08* We're Halo Studios. *00:08* And it's like *00:08* Apparently so *00:08* It's that time of year, everybody, by Logan Moore. *00:08* There's no shortage of stuff for them to release, but that's *00:08* But I just could not, in good faith, predict anything from Insomniac. *00:08* The one thing I wanted to ask you real quick here, and again, things can *00:08* But like Jimmy, Herman won't say and now check out like *00:08* It's we are in this interesting lull of *00:08* Rock leg grandma. *00:08* I mean I think you're right, like they would pick a character *00:08* Obviously. *00:08* I don't even know. *00:08* This is actually an interesting question for you. *00:08* Like obviously that's the standard for like *00:08* I think the Donkey Kong announcement. *00:08* Like, just do that again. *00:08* I mean um if Fox McLeod shows up at any capacity, I think you get it. *00:08* Um, this is something that Nintendo really trailblazed. *00:08* So they don't want to give that up. *00:08* Okay. *00:08* Like if you should play Gears 1, I was gonna ask you, are are you is this gonna be your jumping in point you think you might might finally play? *00:08* Last year was Call of Duty. *00:08* I'm a little surprised you didn't uh you didn't do this one. *00:08* He really does. *00:08* And then all that's left is corruption. *00:08* Uh which I think speaks more to *00:08* But I couldn't remember if they actually had delayed it or if I had read like a rumor mill. *00:08* I remember playing it at a buddy's house as a kid and enjoying it and always wanting it at *00:08* They *00:08* Like it just has n it does not work. *00:08* I think it's vague enough where when you can still count it, it doesn't overlap with you. *00:08* Um *00:08* So we're gonna have to buy a phone that has it installed on *00:08* But *00:08* I want to know. *00:08* They pulled a they pulled a Facebook and we're like, we're not Facebook, we're meta. *00:08* So *00:08* So there we go. *00:08* Because it just reminds me of how things used to be. *00:08* Like it's not PC target. *00:08* We're gonna do PlayStation. *00:08* Marathon has just had its big reveal and it's been kind of *00:08* I think that's where you start. *00:08* But uh Uncharted was my guess, but I could see like a Sly Cooper. *00:08* But you get what I'm saying. *00:08* And they're a little busy right now with Night Rain and um *00:08* You know, frame rate, visuals *00:08* So *00:08* Cause it because it's *00:08* So *00:08* They're like, There was gameplay in the trailer. *00:08* Yeah. *00:08* It needs the staying power. *00:08* Shift up will make us a game. *00:08* I wouldn't be surprised if like Master Chief's in it too. *00:08* And I *00:08* We'd have game chat. *00:08* Sure. *00:08* I guess almost a full year. *00:08* I give him a hard time, but like *00:08* We're in really weird times right now with how everything is going. *00:08* And then you said the two and three remasters would also be out that summer. *00:08* Oh yeah. *00:08* Um they believed in Concorde 2, so *00:08* The people who want it. *00:08* Yeah, I don't know. *00:08* What are we looking at? *00:08* No, that one was older. *00:08* And I think *00:08* Uh you said that id would reveal their next game and it would not be Doom related. *00:08* And then I said that Nint uh Microsoft would reveal a handheld console, which did not *00:08* The reason I'm asking, and we kind of mentioned this at the top, is like *00:08* That is true. *00:08* I would like you to start please with PlayStation. *00:08* And I believe that, because it's going to be a generational shift, not a pro shift. *00:08* I I totally agree. *00:08* Went downstairs and got my Switch after seeing Logan *00:08* Those are two things they're definitely working on. *00:08* Well, that's a stupid thing to say because they actually do have a ton of IP. *00:08* Not only that, you said the next two projects, so *00:08* Hope it's good. *00:08* Like *00:08* But why not wait till Splatoon 5 where you can just take the S and make it a five? *00:08* Like there's a lot of franchises that *00:08* Like everything's too corporate now. *00:08* Oh. *00:08* Sky Cloud Chamber. *00:08* Maybe. *00:08* Um I'm not talking about the Asus one though *00:08* Like the the roster is so ginormous. *00:08* Remember that? *00:08* Um you were like *00:09* So like they have two at least two things they definitely want to show early summer. *00:09* Mafia old tech country. *00:09* It's actually a retelling of Sly Cooper and The Thievius Raccoonus *00:09* Like *00:09* Like this is *00:09* Nintendo celebrates the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. *00:09* And I feel like uh honestly December is where Kirby is, and I guess *00:09* It's really good. *00:09* Um I have three new IP will be revealed. *00:09* Right, cause From Software doesn't have like a say if they *00:09* They're they're not updating the game or like new content. *00:09* True. *00:09* I think their studio perfectly *00:09* Yeah, I think I I think it's over. *00:09* We do. *00:09* Mark Cerny said, like *00:09* And for that reason we will again not see gameplay. *00:09* Both. *00:09* Clearly. *00:09* I think I think the most likely thing is is kind of what I've hammered, which is *00:09* But it like that's a real thing. *00:09* I feel like I feel like they want Chris to now like usher you through this world at all times. *00:09* When I did a little googling. *00:09* Um, nothing has you know necessarily indicated that otherwise. *00:09* Scheduling. *00:09* It's like courts like us too it's like got a court drama to it. *00:09* Interesting. *00:09* It is Yote. *00:09* Okay. *00:09* And until next time, adios *00:09* There's one other topic I want to touch on. *00:09* As *00:09* It's actually probably a little bit more. *00:09* I bet those at the studio would very strongly push back against it. *00:09* Wait, just let's pause on that thought for a second. *00:09* Is it *00:09* On a game key card, no less. *00:09* They're like, no, we can *00:09* It's taking place at a huge resort in Las Vegas. *00:09* That's *00:09* They did remove it. *00:09* Uh *00:09* Cyrodil is where Oblivion is set. *00:09* Hammerfell would be sick. *00:09* I think they're really wanting to show everything that they kind of have coming *00:09* Yeah. *00:09* We're now halfway through May and like *00:09* I mean it's still on the border enough to be pretty much annual, so *00:09* Like again, like a more indie studio kind of doing its own thing, like *00:09* It's great. *00:09* Uh I think *00:09* I think he's like, no, making a good Star Fox game's too easy. *00:09* There was not. *00:09* So like I'm I'm I'm so Yeah, this will be your first reveal of a new *00:09* Yeah, I think E Day is like first three months *00:09* And that is out. *00:09* Like we were we were recording uh or at the top of our recording here we talked about like you know *00:09* That's different. *00:09* Obviously Sony owns the IP. *00:09* I scrapped it at the last second. *00:09* So like there's a lot of things that they could announce that would just be like *00:09* Like it would just in my scenario, it's a trailer. *00:09* I've been curious since that game shipped if they were going to, you know *00:09* Yeah, I think *00:09* Zelda game's not gonna be under fifty bucks. *00:09* So *00:09* Or talking to the press in some capacity. *00:09* Yes. *00:09* And so like *00:09* There's rocks in my grandma's legs. *00:09* Right. *00:09* Metroid Prime 4 beyond. *00:09* Hopefully they bring that to NSO help. *00:09* Jade Raymond's been working on this game for a while now. *00:09* Um yeah, if the PS5 Pro goes to over $1,000. *00:09* What part of the what part of Tamriel is this? *00:09* Yeah. *00:09* Well, the only ones were advanced and DS, obviously. *00:09* That version of Donkey Kong does not exist. *00:09* And *00:09* We'll see. *00:09* What are you talking about? *00:09* So I'm like Yeah, fair. *00:09* Now we're gonna kick it to the killers who are gonna play Mr. *00:09* I think the scale of a Lego game is a lot smaller than *00:10* I know Twisted Metal was canceled a couple years ago. *00:10* Excited to dabble with it. *00:10* So last year was Call of Duty. *00:10* I think. *00:10* Um in either like *00:10* I'm not saying this is the sequel to Infinite. *00:10* Now, to be fair. *00:10* Uh that game is apparently coming out in 2025. *00:10* I think they're still in, you know. *00:10* I like my mind immediately goes to mouse mode. *00:10* He was just like staring at his desktop computer and then it said like he talked to the camera or something *00:10* They had a new tennis, a new *00:10* It was like that snow *00:10* That didn't happen. *00:10* And then *00:10* Is it? *00:10* Like, all those types of characters. *00:10* They obviously put Piranha Plant in *00:10* Nintendo never announces their developers, which is so *00:10* New Horizons was. *00:10* It's running off PlayStation 5 and Xboxes. *00:10* And I'm gonna I'm gonna let you go first, of course. *00:10* Okay. *00:10* There's a reason for it. *00:10* Uh but it would be very interesting. *00:10* Do we think something like this is going to come back? *00:10* Both of us, Peter and I, hadn't done a show in a while, so *00:10* I didn't do the math, but it's been a long time. *00:10* But if it's going to come out now with this and *00:10* So I think *00:10* Scheduling. *00:10* It is a vital game to play. *00:10* Echoes of Wisdom, so you nailed that one. *00:10* I'm like, this is how desperate I was for 3D Donkey Kong. *00:10* I mean it's mainly just like remasters and ports that they've been doing *00:10* Okay. *00:10* Four is a known quantity. *00:10* But I feel like that's more likely for the winter than the summer here. *00:10* Yeah. *00:10* Whether, you know *00:10* Um *00:10* So originally in the order I wrote these *00:10* That was I'll have to look it up. *00:10* Um *00:10* So like *00:10* You at least got one right in each of those *00:10* And that's just the nature of our like our schedules this year. *00:10* It's technically possible. *00:10* If they're doing a deep dive direct, they already said it's coming out this year. *00:10* And I'm inclined to say it is just going to be *00:10* I think they should announce that here. *00:10* Okay. *00:10* Like, who knows what they'll do *00:10* It's like *00:10* Like if they but *00:10* I mean I don't know. *00:10* Like Ratchet will get another game eventually. *00:10* All right. *00:10* And so *00:10* And uh you know they've been remastering things, they did *00:10* Like that game just got *00:10* And I think that given *00:10* Yes. *00:10* He's never gonna stop that. *00:10* We were just a little bit ahead of the time. *00:10* It's a good time, man. *00:10* Um, that would be where's judgment *00:10* So *00:10* He was adamant he would, but he may not now *00:10* And I'm sure, like you just said, things will start to *00:10* But just in a matter of when *00:10* It can *00:10* And uh apparently Bungie knows all because, you know, they kind of *00:10* Cloud Chamber. *00:10* I just wrote down Star Fox is happening. *00:10* And when are we gonna see this? *00:10* I think that we're gonna see this Mario baseball game *00:10* Yeah. *00:10* Gamers love the French now. *00:10* That's what should be. *00:10* But I think we can't we I think we will get a Mario game. *00:10* Yeah. *00:10* Now that was correct by the skinning your teeth. *00:10* And originally three or four years. *00:10* People don't want that stuff. *00:10* I'll move on to my actual next prediction. *00:10* Um called Icon. *00:10* And I am not *00:10* Kojima. *00:10* I don't think this is actually gonna happen. *00:11* But it it can include PlayStation, obviously, as well. *00:11* Maybe if I start waking up at four AM every morning *00:11* Like if it if they do show Fable again, uh *00:11* So if you can say *00:11* Yeah *00:11* But um *00:11* What is your 2025 PlayStation prediction? *00:11* It's supposed to be leaning more into the vibe of the first game. *00:11* Santa Monica Studio reveals. *00:11* That would be fun. *00:11* Maybe Wind Waker gets a mobile app because *00:11* I'm excited. *00:11* So *00:11* So *00:11* I would obviously be super hyped for nine. *00:11* I'll say this, man. *00:11* What day of the week is that? *00:11* So I really do think that we're gonna get a lot of these, you know. *00:11* I like that. *00:11* I have some *00:11* You keep those, obviously. *00:11* Like I *00:11* And that's it. *00:11* And it showed Tom Nook at the computer. *00:11* Um but I think they have to show *00:11* We'll see. *00:11* Um but I did not uh *00:11* And then beyond. *00:11* Yeah. *00:11* Yeah. *00:11* Master Chief would be hilarious. *00:11* I think there's nine different provinces. *00:11* 120 hertz smash. *00:11* Or *00:11* Um *00:11* Sure it was very different. *00:11* I know the man is busy. *00:11* I don't think so *00:11* Hello, buddy. *00:12* They just don't touch *00:12* When are we gonna I of all of those *00:12* I'm at the least excited about my pre *00:12* So how could they? *00:12* I'm not sure. *00:12* This is my first backup, but *00:12* And we don't need to talk too much about this because *00:12* So like *00:12* I love the Sly games. *00:12* I thought it was like a beachy *00:12* com. *00:12* And you know *00:12* I gotta make some wonky *00:12* Right. *00:12* Yeah. *00:12* Which *00:12* Okay, PlayStation *00:12* I mean Black Ops six was the first *00:12* That almost happened. *00:12* And it's it's *00:12* That's fun *00:12* And Fair Games is the same. *00:12* But uh *00:12* But they did. *00:12* And they have refused to say. *00:12* That's why we're working on *00:12* So *00:12* So like *00:12* It feels *00:12* But then like. *00:12* I think October makes sense. *00:12* How are you? *00:12* . *00:12* Brightside. *00:12* Um *00:12* You're entering *00:12* I was gonna settle for *00:13* I th I think it makes a lot of sense. *00:13* net forward slash *00:13* This is true. *00:13* Um *00:13* Um *00:13* Like *00:13* That would be uh seventy. *00:13* Um *00:13* Like *00:13* That's *00:13*
