• Panelists largely enjoyed the showcase, but consensus was it peaked at the beginning and end.
• Blessing:

  "I thought that was really good…Wolverine really did a good job of actually coming through and saving the state of play" (03:17).

• The middle section was less exciting for some, with previously announced or smaller titles taking up space.
• Mike:

  “Dates, dates, dates…this is one of the few times I’ve walked away from one of these going wow, that is a lot of dates thrown at me.” (04:19)

• Greg:

  “Should this have been an email? That kind of garbage comment…there were a lot of things that didn’t speak to me” (06:14).
  He rates it between 5.5 to 6/10 overall.

• Andy:

  “Started off 10 out of 10. Ended 10 out of 10. The middle was probably around a 6 or so. So that averages, you know…” (08:03)

• Tim:

  “I feel like this is about as good as a state of play can be. When the state of play brings the heavy hitter PlayStation Studio titles…whatever you do around it, you know our eyes are here for the big things and if you deliver on that, like I’m going to be okay.” (09:57)

Notable Quote

• Greg:

  “I’d have been on my phone for a lot of it” (07:53)

• New title from Housemarque, described as intensely similar to Returnal but in a positive, “arcadey” way.
• Tim:

  “So fucking cool. March 20, 2026. I think that to me is the big takeaway. We got a date.” (14:07)

• Storytelling elements, accessibility upgrades, and permanent progression systems highlighted.
• Blessing:

  “All the elements that I love about that game (Returnal) seem like they’re feeding into this game. Even the particle effects and dodging everything…” (15:21)

  “These systems include the ability to upgrade your Soltari Advanced combat suit and abilities...permanent progression system...” (18:54)

• Anticipation for a possible co-op announcement in the future.

  “I can't wait to go hands on the sticks with this one… I had a time of a lifetime with Andy playing, you know, Returnal Co Op. Like, that was so much fun.” (19:44)

  “The new one also looks like dog shit… but I understand you’re just remastering an old game.” (06:45)

Halloween (Ilphonic) (31:02)

• Return to the team’s roots with a strong, horror multiplayer experience reminiscent of Friday the 13th.
• Greg:

  “We were big Friday 13th fans here... This is, I think, Ilphonic getting back to doing what they do best and doing it with an IP they can actually work with that isn’t just bogged down in lawsuits galore.” (31:20)

• Light-hearted confusion about the difference between Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees, plus reflections on the franchise.

Last Epoch, Seven Deadly Sins, Chronoscript, and Other Indies

• Last Epoch finally gets a console release—huge among ARPG fans (35:04).
• Seven Deadly Sins Origin, Sonic Racing Cross Worlds (Mega Man reveal), and Chronoscript spark fun, but little passionate discussion.

• Blessing:

  “I kind of like it… when they work and I have it connected to my Bluetooth and I'm listening to my game and my music at the same time, I kind of fuck with it because one, all my shit has the same aesthetic, but then, two, they are fairly quality…” (51:36)

• Liam McIntyre confirmed as Wolverine (54:49).
• Speculation on whether this will get its own deep-dive state of play before release.

  “That gives me hope that we might see X-Men, we might see the Mansion, we might see that type of stuff. That would be very... cool.” – Tim (57:05)

• Pondering how many X-Men will cameo, concerns about spoiler-y trailers.
• Greg:

  “I think in terms of the X Men you see in this game in like an actual capacity, one, maybe two—storm...” (59:09)

• Begs for a Wolverine vs. Hulk set piece; expectation that’s “a sequel thing” (59:45).
• Blessing:

[Tim Gettys]

What's up and welcome to your second kind of Funny Games cast for Wednesday, September 24, 2025.

[Greg Miller]

Of course.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm your host, Tim Gettys. I'm joined today by blessing Adoa Jr. Good day, Tim. Snowbike Mike. Hi, Tim. Too tight Wolverine shirt.

[Greg Miller]

Too tight. Wolverine. Thank you.

[Tim Gettys]

That was close. And Andy Cortez.

[Andy Cortez]

Hello, everybody.

[Tim Gettys]

It paid off. Greg, how do you feel?

[Greg Miller]

Kind of robbed. Because I did think it would be a much funnier bit to get to the post show and I've shaved my beard and I'm dressed like a moron for Wolverine. There was no Wolverine game. But then in the long run, great reaction, great reaction. Because it was the excitement of finally seeing the game, but then also it not being for nothing.

[Tim Gettys]

Yes.

[Greg Miller]

Because when I go to my school, my son's school tomorrow for show and tell and I have to bring Cole, those kids know that I don't look like this. What happened? Now I get to say, oh, I dressed up for a Wolverine game.

[Tim Gettys]

Are you gonna do the hair? Like, what's your plan at this point?

[Greg Miller]

I'm gonna grow. I'm gon. First off, it's hard to tell everybody because I look like your abusive alcoholic stepfather right now. But when I'm in my normal clothes and my hair is normal, this beard thing works. Like the beard thing Andy gave me here. Works the Wolverine. I'm just gonna let it keep rocking.

[Andy Cortez]

When Greg took a like I wish I recorded his reaction. He looked in the mirror. He was like, oh, my God, I love this.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm excited to see.

[Mike]

I love it too, Tim. I love this. I'll come into work every day if you're looking like that. I love it, man. You look great. That's my guy.

[Tim Gettys]

But hey Greg. Ways aplenty everyone. For a chance to be part of this show though, submit your YouTube super chats. What'd you think of that State of Play?

Today we're brought to you by Shady Rays and Factor, but we'll tell you about that later. Let's get to the topic of the.

[Mike]

Show.

[Tim Gettys]

State of Play. Let's talk about it. Bless. Yes, I want to start with you. What'd you think?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I thought that was really good. I thought it was a really fun time. I think, you know, in predicting what's going to happen at the State of Play, I think we're mainly on the three things on of all right. We're going to see Sorrows. We know that for sure. What are those five minutes going to look like? Are they going to deliver with that? I think with that they did you then get into the conversation of all right. They also mentioned third parties and indies and then also promised a few more PlayStation studios things when we get into the Wolverine. Awesome, right? I think that was absolutely great. That absolutely delivered. I think there's a strong middle part that didn't deliver for me here. You know, I think after Soros getting into the rest of it, as we were approaching the what, 30 minute, 35 minute mark, I was kind of worried as far as man, I've not been wowed since like Sorrows, right? Like there are things here and there that are speaking to me. Like zero parades. Looks cool. But we knew about that already. Hell yeah. For Flight sim coming through, Neo3 getting a date there. I think that's cool. But this wasn't the most exciting state of play. I think Wolverine really did a good job of actually coming through and saving the state of play. But overall I feel good about it. I enjoyed my time here.

[Tim Gettys]

Mike.

[Mike]

Well said.

[Andy Cortez]

Bless.

[Mike]

Yeah, I had a really good time with this one Tim. And the big takeaway for me kind of to piggyback off of what blessed because I really agree with that is dates, dates, dates, dates. This is one of the few times where I've walked away from one of these going wow, that is a lot of dates thrown at me. And we are really jam packing that front half of 2026 right before May when GTA comes out. And then we had a couple outliers on the far the fall side. But man, I was really impressed with now knowing I got a good roadmap of a lot of games coming my way here with PlayStation and of course beyond. But yeah, as Blessing said, there was a moment in the middle where I was like ooh, this is leaning towards like a good but I think Wolverine really picked that up for me to land more of like this was a great state of play. I had a really good time. Some standout ones. Chrono script I think spoke to us really well of like wow, that was a different looking game right there. I like the look of that. Microsoft flight Sim is one that I love. Battlefield campaign footage was special. We are very close to Battlefield 6. Not much campaign stuff has really come out unless you're thick into it. And so that was really cool to see that. Halloween from Ill Phonic I have a special spot for Il Fauna games and like I love playing games.

[Greg Miller]

We're going to return to form.

[Mike]

This is a special one.

[Greg Miller]

We didn't need killers clowns from outer space. You took a game on an ip. Turns out nobody knew or cared about it. At least I think that's true. I don't know if anybody played it. It's time to get back to what's right. They got fucked by Friday 13th. That was a long time ago obviously. But then the rights for Friday 13th getting all tied up in it. They did Ghostbusters but not enough of you heathens want to play a Ghostbusters game. This looks like a return to form. Even I will get to it when we do the rundown. I put a couple of paragraphs in the press release about what a civilians doing versus Michael Myers which I think is going to elevate that gameplay and.

[Mike]

Just to finish it off. Dynasty Warriors Tim it's the year of Dynasty warriors and I am happy as can Be. That's all I got.

[Tim Gettys]

Greg.

[Greg Miller]

Hey. How are you, Tim?

[Tim Gettys]

Good. How are you?

[Greg Miller]

I'm good. Real good, actually. Obviously, I'm with. I think their blessing. Nailed it as well. Where this is a state of play that started strong with Soros. Right. And then I think we. I was very much like, oof, this might even be. Not even. Should this have been an email? That kind of garbage comment, you know what I mean? Where I'm like, obviously, us hanging around and being clowns with you, the kind of funny best friends is always fun. It always makes these things go. But as you start to look through this, it's just like, there were a lot of things that didn't speak to me, a lot of things that I didn't think were that exciting of announcements.

[Tim Gettys]

All right.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. Flight sim. Okay, cool. Yeah. The Zero parades is cool. But again, I already wasn't a disco person. This didn't look like it's going to change where I was with that Deus Ex remastered when they were like, here's what the original looked like and here's what they're doing. Like, the new one also looks like dog shit. But I understand you're just remastering an old game. Like, I understand what we're doing here, but that doesn't jump off the page. Oh, I got to go do that. Halloween I'm excited for, because I like Halloween. A date that's nearly a year away. Was an odd move. Was an odd move for when I was like, I saw the nine September pop up. Like, holy. Oh, wait, no, next year, whatever. And so there's a bunch of that going on here. But of course, you got Soros at the front of wow. You. And then you got Wolverine to deliver. And again, a meaty look at Wolverine, which I appreciate right where it was. Here's the trailer. And then let's give you a window. Let's give you the conversation with the voice act. Let's give you a conversation with Marcus. Like, let's talk a bit about this game that's been installed for so long. So that was all great, but I think if you added it all up and talked about what we just did, I'd probably be. I mean, I can give you. By the end of it if you want. We can. When we go game by game, I'm somewhere between a 5, 5 mediocre and a 6. Okay.

[Tim Gettys]

Wow.

[Greg Miller]

I think we had a really strong start and a really strong end. And then in the middle, I would have. If I was at home watching this, I would have been on my phone for a lot of it.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Andy.

[Andy Cortez]

I mean. Yeah. Same as everybody else has mentioned.

[Greg Miller]

Started off, you get a claw.

[Andy Cortez]

Started off. 10 out of 10. Ended off. Ended 10 out of 10. The middle was probably around a 6 or so. So that averages, you know, I don't know how Tim's interview rankings would do the math there.

[Greg Miller]

We did well. We would need to exactly agree. And then whatever Tim wants is what we. This is why we're the. We got that. Cut you up. Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

I would put it around. I put around an eight, I would say, because there was still some stuff in the middle that I thought, you know, was interesting. Like, Mike had mentioned that Inkbound game, Chronos. Hopefully they changed the name to it. Yeah, that would be awesome if they changed the Inkbound.

[Tim Gettys]

The.

[Andy Cortez]

I mean, there was enough in the middle that I didn't really give a damn about, but it was cool seeing Battlefield 6 campaign stuff. And again, everything having a date, especially something like Crimson Desert, which we're looking. Really looking forward to, that having a date is really awesome. And, yeah, I thought Wolverine looked freaking great and Soros looked amazing. And for any of the concerns of this just looks like Returnal, like, that's all I wanted. I'm as happy as to be. I just wanted another Returnal sequel. And when, like, I mentioned during the showcase, when Housemark confirmed they were not doing a sequel to Return, I was really sad. I was like, man, I really want more of that. And this looks to be more with a different character in a different world, and it's a completely standalone thing, but it is the Returnal gameplay that we love that is the reason why that game is one of the best shooters of all time.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

As soon as I saw the running animation, I was like, thank God. Yeah, it's just Returnal because they started it and it's Raul just walking. And I was like, all right, is this going to be more of a grounded PlayStation?

[Andy Cortez]

And they zoomed out a lot.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Then you see him start running. I'm like, that's the running animation I want. Yes, please run, run. Exactly like Celine from Returnal.

[Andy Cortez]

The jump side dashes, all that stuff looks freaking great.

[Greg Miller]

Timothy, I want to know your ranking, since you were blown away by me saying a five or six.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh. I mean, I just. I think that, like, Wolverine and Solace alone and everything else in the middle being, like, in inoffensive, I don't think anything, like, really wasted my time. And, yeah, a lot of stuff's not for me, but it gave me what I'm always asking for which is answer the amount of dates for things like Crimson Desert. Getting a date like that's something that's crazy want it's crazy and we wanted to. To get it. Yeah. Battlefield 6 getting a look at the campaign that's something that Mike wanted to see. Microsoft Flight Simulator. We didn't know that kind of expected it was going to happen at some point but it happened here. Like a lot of stuff that's like it's cool, whatever. But yeah bookending it with two big deal PlayStation studio titles that obviously all of us are excited for and feel like the PlayStation audience is going to be stoked. The speaker hardware announcement. I always love weird out of left field hardware stuff from PlayStation. Like I'd give this an 8. Like I. I feel like this is about as good as a state of play can be. Like when the state of play brings the Heavy Hitter PlayStation Studio titles I'm like cool. Whatever you do around it, you know our eyes are here for the. The. The big things and if you deliver on that like I'm going to be okay.

[Andy Cortez]

It might have been higher if I didn't know Soros was going to be here.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean yeah for sure.

[Andy Cortez]

And if Soros did show up and looked and was a different style of video game and maybe looked bad and you know I'd be a bit more bummed out. But it. I got exactly what I wanted out of Soros and Wolverine.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think I just needed a middle highlight. I need. I needed something in the middle to bring us up. I think one more like either first party or a big title.

[Mike]

Do you think Ghosts would have been that because you guys brought up earlier like Ghost is kind of that third one but like for me it's like we've seen ghosts. We know Ghost is right around the.

[Greg Miller]

Corner but would that surprising that there's no just even a reminder even with Sid and Sean being like blah blah. Don't forget of course next week first party's delivering with Ghosts.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah I mean it's funny because the like I feel like had Ghost of Yote legends been announced here that would have been awesome.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That would have been. Been a great middle literally it's just.

[Tim Gettys]

Like but they where they announce that Gamescom I think yeah I think cool but like I just those just those little things for pacing and for like really making this like a standout special presentation but go for it Andy.

[Andy Cortez]

I think more of a wild thing is it's getting harder and harder to distinguish what a showcase is and what a state of play is because this is yet another state of play that, that I think delivered awesome stuff from first parties. And you know, I know that way of thinking is so much older because we've had a lot of recent banger state of plays that have had, you know, first party stuff and other large releases that are coming out. But I, I look at this and I'm like, you know, you have Insomniac's next big game, which always sell and it's just a naming thing at this point. Who gives a shit whether it's a showcase or not. But this felt like something coming out from Soros and Insomniac that felt like showcase worthy. But maybe I'm just looking too.

[Tim Gettys]

I feel like the showcase brand is dead for now. Like I think at any moment it can come back.

[Greg Miller]

I feel like the next showcase you'd get would be a PlayStation 6. Let's make it maybe big of a deal.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. But even then though, it's like I, I don't know that by that point they'll have this stuff. Like they might call it a showcase, but it'll never be as good as the PS5 showcase. I just. That was a time and place of studios all lining up with the titles that they had. We're never gonna. It's impossible to have that again because we're getting intergalactic. We're going to, I imagine get Sony Santa Monica's game on PS5. Right. Like not PS6. So they just won't be ready to have those back to back.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You think so?

[Tim Gettys]

I do.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I feel like we're getting down to the wire a little bit.

[Andy Cortez]

Right.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Like, not that they're getting the PS6 like next year or whatever, but we're in 2025. PS5 launched in 2020. I'm expecting what in two years, two and a half years we see a PlayStation 6.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean, I think that we see the announcement of Santa Monica's thing before then.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I can see that.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Not a guarantee. Cross gen release, definitely.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

With how they've been doing SKUs recently, you know.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. All right. I want to get into.

[Andy Cortez]

Still no Demon Souls on ps on PC. It's crazy.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh no. Phantom Blade zero.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Maybe TGS somewhere they'll just announce something because like as you keep saying, what have they said about Phantom Blade zero?

[Andy Cortez]

We are going to announce the release year this year. Yeah. This will be the year that you hear the year of our release.

[Greg Miller]

The year you hear the year.

[Tim Gettys]

We are going to. I'm going to start breaking down Everything right now. Barrett. Kevin. Kevin.

[Greg Miller]

Kevin.

[Tim Gettys]

Starting off with sorrows. So fucking cool. March 20, 2026. I think that to me is the big takeaway. We got a date. They have something to look forward to. I think that's awesome. That's not necessarily something that I thought that they would do, but it looks awesome, looks amazing.

[Andy Cortez]

It's, you know, adding ability. I mean it may as well just be a reskinned version of Returnal. And I'm so happy about it.

[Greg Miller]

I'll be interested about that because yes, that's it might as well be. But even tossing in the second chance they're talking about, right. Of like you get. You can get knocked once in a fight and get back up. I wonder how many of the quote unquote lessons. But feedback everybody gave on Returnal, which an amazing video game but for so many people were the. I think was way more successful for PlayStation than they thought. Way more successful probably than Housemarque thought. And to get that feedback from a more mainstream or a bigger PlayStation audience, that was man, this can be challenging. And really I wonder what they're going to do in terms of accessibility, in terms of difficulty, in terms of all this stuff. And even watching this, for me, somebody who got overwhelmed a lot in Returnal, I thought this looked more manageable.

[Andy Cortez]

There was a point in time where when Returnal launched that like if your game crashed, you just didn't have progress. Right?

[Greg Miller]

Yes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You couldn't stop mid run. And I, I forget what the rest mode situation was, but they, yeah, yeah. They then added in like a suspend mode for Returnal. I thought this looks amazing. I mean I echo what Andy's talking about, right? As far as it feeling like a Returnal reskin, but in a very positive way. I look at this and it's like, okay, all the elements that I love about that game seem like they're feeding into this game. Even the particle effects and dodging everything. Right. Like I love that type of. In video games. I think plenty of people do and I do love that housemark. Their DNA is in the more arcadey, fast paced experience and I think they balance out the first party lineup well when you're talking about the single player stuff because you have the grounded like single player, I guess slower paced games when you talk about a ghost or a last whist or a lot of what you get out of the first party. But here you have pure arcadey goodness and that's what I want. I love seeing this and yeah, this looks, this looks dope.

[Andy Cortez]

It. It already you know, the OG Returnal looked fantastic and it ran great and it was one of those standout PS5 launch games that you look at and say like, holy shit, this is what the PS5 is doing. I see the sense, I see the visuals. Yeah. The rain, all that stuff felt so next gen. And what's exciting about this is it's a follow up on one of my favorite games ever. But it's also a super talented dev team with five more years of under their belt of like with this hardware, how can we continue to push this and make things better and have more enemies on the screen? And having the PS5 Pro enhancement is like that's all I need to hear. I'm super stoked.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. And like just like the sense of progression seeming to be a bit more baked in. Like kind of what Greg was talking about. But even, just even more direct story beats and like direct plot stuff. Looks like Returnal had. But like I like that this seems. Has a bit more just like it reminds me a lot. Andy, we've been talking about Hollow Knight to Silksong where you know, Silksong having Hornet speak I feel adds so much to just like the sense of it, of understanding what's going on. And this seems like we're getting more than we did in Returnal, which I like.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. I mean I'm over on the PlayStation Blog right now where they have their Sorrows coverage up and they have a breakout called Storytelling in Carcasso or Carcosa.

[Andy Cortez]

Thank you.

[Greg Miller]

We also wanted to highlight how we are expanding our Storytelling in Sorrows along with grounded voiceover, stunning cinematics, haunting audio logs and conversations with our ensemble cast of NPCs already. Right. They're talking. I mean you can see how much more they're adding to this than what Returnal did, which obviously had a story, a quite interesting and thrilling one. Right. But this is going to be, I think a way more cinematic and digestible.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I'm really think reading through that and I. They call that out and thing. But now that we're talking about on a show, maybe you didn't watch this. One of the other things they call out. Right. Let's talk about Arjun Rahul. Here's unique abilities. Firstly, we have the Sultari shield activated. Activated by holding R1 in Saros, you can run into the hostile projectiles, absorbing their energy to defend yourself. Again, I. I'll be interested to see how much of that is. All right, we understand Bullet Hell isn't for everybody. Let's see if we can Give this away that you can enjoy it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, I'm really interested in the Comeback Stronger tagline. I know we're talking about the progression stuff, but, you know, we just reviewed Hades 2 and one of the things that we talked about was the fact that it feels like between every run there are like major, major things that feel like, oh, man. Okay, now I got to focus on this. Oh, man. Okay, now, you know, after I've done just one more run, I feel like I have different carrots on the stick that I need to chase after. And I feel like for Roguelites, especially one that is emphasizing Come back Stronger, that feels like the natural progression. As far as, like, all right, what do we want to add to this thing? Let's make it so that when you're going back for the next run, it feels like a different game.

[Greg Miller]

Let me give you a paragraph on that. The final element we highlight is the Second Chance ability on Death. Arjun has the ability, once discovered, to use the Eclipse Corruption energy to rise back on his first death. This is one small part of the permanent progression systems we have added in Sorrows, which will allow you to always come back stronger after each death. These systems include the ability to upgrade your Soltari Advanced combat suit and abilities if you choose to. Again, talking about, you know, this permanent progression system, right?

[Andy Cortez]

Damn, you're. You all are resin. That's just for dude.

[Greg Miller]

Wow.

[Andy Cortez]

So lame. If you're resin, man, like, damn, the P word.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's crazy.

[Mike]

I've been in my Instagram Call of Duty lobby.

[Andy Cortez]

I've been in my Instagram comments too much, right?

[Mike]

I can't wait to go hands on the sticks with this one. That's one of. This is like, the game looks good showing it, but like, when you're playing it, this is one of the best around and so much fun. And I'm hoping Tim, little fingers crossed behind the back. Six to 12 months from now, they're like, hey, guess what? We got a co op mode. Because I had a time of a lifetime with Andy playing, you know, Returnal Co Op. Like, that was so much fun. So I'll cross my fingers later on in the future.

[Andy Cortez]

I can't wait to have my eyes just burning like crazy. This. This is one of those games that's just like. It reminds me of my time with Kirby Air Riders where it's just. There's a lot of colors on the screen, there's a lot of fast action. You're constantly just going, you know, the motion's insane. And like, it really, really Kind of up my eyes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

A lot of different looking environments in this one that I liked. In this trailer, Returnal had like, what? I guess I won't spoil the exact number, but they had a number of environments that I can count on almost one hand. This seemed like it had a lot of varied locations.

[Tim Gettys]

I. I don't say I fully disagree, but I was a little like, oh, this is very orange game. And then towards the end, like, I feel like there was a lot of colors breaking up the orange. And I'm like, okay, cool, that's not actually a problem. But, like, there was a while I was like, this is like overwhelmingly orange, but which I think is just like, harder to look at than Returnal, which was a lot more of that, like, blue, green, like the vibe going on. But, yeah, they changed all that stuff up.

[Andy Cortez]

So I'm not actually Carcosa, the Yellow King, and I only know about it from True Detective, but that's what it's all like. It's all based on these books that came out, these short stories, like, over a hundred something years ago. And if you all watch True Detective Season 1, it all has to do with sort of these Supernatural. But he's yellow, and that's why the guy has, like, that crown. And, you know, what you laughing about?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I just love that you're bringing, like, a very unique.

[Tim Gettys]

Well, they said Carcosa.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, they're doing a very unique perspective.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

He's like, well, the God of yellow.

[Tim Gettys]

I. I also. I just. I need to say this. I know we should just move on, but like, Andy saying the P word is only less funny than bless. Calling it the P word. We don't hear that often on this show. You know, moving on to Zero's Parades for Dead Spies. Zero parades for Dead Spies.

[Greg Miller]

Come on, we're back.

[Tim Gettys]

The Z game 2026. It's a narrative first. Espionage RPG, steeped paranoia, surrealism, and a struggle for redemption. Bless. What do you think?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean, Disco Elysium, Andy. I'm still. You got to get to Disco Elysium for how much you love Citizen Sleeper. It's such a good fucking video game. And the more I see the trailers for this one, the more I'm like, okay, cool. They're restoring the feeling. Like, the feeling is coming back here. It's still a weird one because Zao has been through turmoil as far as, like, the inner workings of the studio. And so it's one where I'm like, should I be excited? I don't know what the situation is, but a lot of the people that worked on the first Disco Elysium game still worked there. Right. And you look at this and it's like, oh yes, a lot of the talent is still there, especially in the art. I think this game looks absolutely incredible. I think it looks like a step forward from Disco Elysium as far as what the visuals are doing. And yeah, like, I think seeing things like the dice rolls feels like it's leaning more, even more in into like the RPG tabletop style stuff that they're bringing to it. And so I'm excited for this game.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I always wanted to get into Disco Elysium and it never happened for me. And I think it was just a place in time kind of thing. So I'd be hopeful that, yeah, this, you know, is still there. I like this idea what they showed there of these, you know, it's going to be different every time you play and all these different permutations. Obviously that always speaks to me. It's just that CRPG nature that is always like, it's not my jam.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm already not looking forward to like getting into this game and everybody being like, man, you're playing this but not Disco Elysium. I'm sorry. So I like to pre apologize for that.

[Tim Gettys]

Mike. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 coming on December 8th. Very cool. PSVR2 support coming free update next year.

[Mike]

Get your headset on, but take to the.

[Greg Miller]

Blow the dust off and get it out of the Tupperware we got it.

[Mike]

Shoved in over recently.

[Greg Miller]

No, that was a quest. That was a quest. Oh, okay. Okay.

[Mike]

That's what I mean. Yeah, Flight sim is really, really well done. 2024 edition has a lot of fun stuff. They added the activities was the big push of actually doing things that, that are not just takeoff landing. Right. They have a lot more going on in this, which is great. One of the best around out there. Cool to see a lot of Xbox games coming over to PlayStation like we've talked about in recent months. And this is an all timer from that team. So yeah, if you're into a Microsoft flight sim, you want to try it? This is the one for you, Mike.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm gonna stick with you a little bit here. Battlefield 6 the Campaign coming October 10, 2025.

[Mike]

Had us for a moment, Tim. You know, had us for a moment when we all held our breath like, oh shit, is this so calm and.

[Greg Miller]

Like you imagine, you know, one day.

[Mike]

One day we'll all hope for that. It'll never happen, but awesome to see Battlefield. This is a game that everyone has been very high on from the betas. I've been excited since I saw it down with ea. I laughed as someone wrote it. I can't believe we're getting excited for more Crimson Desert and Battlefield after we've seen it so many times. But this is one of like, you haven't seen much of the campaign and we are days away from this dropping and that is a big piece of this, right? We talk about the campaign, we talk about Battlefield, Portal, we talk about multiplayer. You've seen multiplayer. We've seen some promises in Portal, but we haven't seen Portal true to life. And that won't happen until day one, into month one and beyond with user created content. And a big one is these Battlefield campaigns. Can they bring it back? And they bring back the fun of the Battlefield mercenaries that everybody loves and holds in such high regards. Can they bring back the cool vignettes that we saw in Battlefield 1 and 5? There was one Battlefield that didn't even have a campaign, right? So it's like, do they have the stuff to tell a really good war story? A really good campaign? We know that the gameplay is super fun, the all out destruction is awesome, but is this going to be one where like we walked away last year where Call of Duty found their stride? We're doing something a little bit different with their campaign. We were like, yo, this is a good one. You got to play it. Can EA and Battlefield figure that out and make this happen? It looked cool. I am a little worried. I didn't have that feeling quite yet. But when we figure it out, we'll see what happens when we play it.

[Tim Gettys]

Plus, I know you were surprisingly into the Battlefield beta, right?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Does the idea of a Battlefield campaign after that experience get you interested?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean, not any more than like a Call of Duty campaign. I'm just, I'm typically not like a military campaign first person shooter person. That said, I will be hearing from Mike Howard as far as what his thoughts are. And if he's like, you got to play this, then I'll think about it.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, think about it, Andy. I cut you off there a little bit.

[Andy Cortez]

I was just gonna. It was gonna be, you know, private military corporations. Like whenever that's in action games, it's like, oh, cool. Yeah, Kojima, come on.

[Mike]

What was the saying from yesterday? What's the tag?

[Tim Gettys]

Here comes, here comes the feel. I think about that all the time.

[Mike]

Like, here comes that feeling.

[Tim Gettys]

Dude, I haven't had my hair. They fucking nailed it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I might think of that Tattoo.

[Mike]

So good.

[Tim Gettys]

Next up, we had Deus Ex Remastered Aspires working on it. This is coming on February 5, 2026. Another to add to the pile of classic games being remade that look very ugly, but it's like, you know what?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Roger's gonna draft it anyway.

[Tim Gettys]

It's the game up res and like, I'm happy that these things exist because I think that although they're not like the prettiest things, I do like that they keep the actual art style of the original game.

[Mike]

So if I was someone who was interested in this, is this the jumping in point?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You know, that's a good question.

[Tim Gettys]

You know what I mean?

[Mike]

Like, as someone who's gone back, I've played Half Life this year, right? I've been playing a bunch of older titles and I've always been interested in Deus Ex. Like, what is the one?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, there's got to be the Eidos Montreal ones, right? It's got to be the.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean, the classic one, right?

[Greg Miller]

Really? I think so.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, yeah. Like, if you. If you're a DSX fan, I'm somebody who. I love Human Revolution and I love Mankind Divided. Deus Ex fans will tell you that the original ones are like the pure ones. In fact, they will tell you that Deus Human Revolution kind of ruined things a little bit. That said, right, like, as far as I understand, this is a game you want to play on PC and maybe I chat or people online can help me a little bit out on that one, but it just seems like it's the kind of game that has just a lot going on as far as, like, the buttons that it wants you to press and like, the items that it wants to want you to use that you might want to play this one on PC.

[Andy Cortez]

But I'm sure there's. There have been some upgrades there for like, quality of use on controller and so. Or yeah, I would hope that they wouldn't.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

If people tell me that, like, yo, this is the one that I first. I'm. I'm way more likely to play this on console than I am to go back to the original PC version.

[Tim Gettys]

Before we move on with the rest of the games announced today, here's a quick word from our sponsors.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm sorry I said the P word guys.

[Greg Miller]

We talked off air.

[Andy Cortez]

Can't say that, you know.

[Tim Gettys]

Good lord.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, Kevin, come on. Say the C word.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Not the bad thing. I didn't mean.

[Andy Cortez]

I didn't mean. Kevin likes the other one.

[Tim Gettys]

Kevin likes.

[Andy Cortez]

He likes what I say.

[Tim Gettys]

God. Weird. Oh, let's talk about Halloween. The game. This is from Ilonic and gun coming hilariously. September 8, 2026 Survivor Slay across the 10 streets and dark corners of Haddonfield in this asymmetrical horror sandbox. Greg, what do you think?

[Greg Miller]

Can't wait. As I said, like, you know, we were big Friday 13th fans here. We played so much of that. We were big predator hunting grounds fans oh, man, we played a ton of that. I was a big Ghostbusters fan, and I made a lot of you play Spirits Unleashed. Killer's clown didn't do it for us. This is, I think, ilphonic getting back to doing what they do best and doing it with an IP they can actually work with that isn't just bogged down in law suits galore. Like Friday the 13th. So coming into something that's excited and basically. Yeah. Redoing Friday the 13th, but with Michael Myers. Yeah, let's get in there.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It'll be interesting.

[Greg Miller]

The combinations, obviously. Friday 13th was so many different Jason's. Who could you be? I'll be interested to see what they do with Mike Myers, who, you know, kind of changes his look, but doesn't.

[Tim Gettys]

A lot of Mike Myers.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, it's always the inside zombies, homeless version. Yeah. But I'm even saying, like, you know, like the, okay, this is a Halloween whatever number, whereas his jumpsuit looked a little bit different. Like, it's not. There aren't that many Mike Myers variations like there were with Jason Voorhees or I am.

[Andy Cortez]

I like to admit something right now. The safe space. I. I thought that these. This was the same, like, IP.

[Mike]

You thought it was Friday 13.

[Andy Cortez]

I thought like, so when somebody said this is just Friday the 13th, I was like, oh, yeah, well, yeah, like, But. But then you mentioning Michael, I was like, oh, my God, Jason is a different guy with a mat, a different mask.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I.

[Andy Cortez]

For my whole life, hooked me up.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's been. It's been tr. Yeah. Like, if you. If you at any point ask me which one is the Halloween one and which one is the Friday one, I'd.

[Tim Gettys]

Be like, ah, the Friday, damn Friday one.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay.

[Greg Miller]

It's a great one where. I think it was. I. It was some news program. I want to say abc, but when they had Jamie Lee Curtis on there, and the guy's like, totally bites it, and it's just like, well, you know, you have a history of fighting people in hockey masks. So, like, what are you. What was that?

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, but working with an ip, that's not bogged down in, like, IP hell. Like, what. Wait, how is that not. Okay. Okay, we're on the same page now.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I mean, the description, right. They have this as a civilian, protect the townsfolk by guiding them to sa. To safety, scavenging for weapons and supplies, and finding a phone to call the police before it's too late. Danger lurks around every corner, and survival depends on strategy, teamwork, and quick thinking. Meanwhile, Mic, Michael Myers stalks the shadows using terrifying abilities like shape jump to move unseen across the map and strike without warning in heart pounding experience. It sounds so much like Friday 13, but again, let's fucking go. Friday 13th was great. It was held back by the fact that they built that thing off a Kickstarter. Not expecting it to be big. Hopefully they're expecting better stuff here. The servers are better and I can run around and make my phone calls and collect all my different things. And the prox chat of like, oh God, it's over here. The music. You know they're gonna do the same thing where the music keys up.

[Tim Gettys]

As he's close to you, I think that Obviously Friday the 13th had so much going for it. But the. There's just a lot of iconography stuff of Halloween that I think fits this type of game very well. Like even the like small neighborhood and like being going in houses and like room to room kind of like having the. The different places tied. Which I know Friday the 13th had some of, but I think it's more core to this experience. Whereas Friday 13th, obviously Crystal Lake.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. You Friday 13th, you were always at the camps.

[Tim Gettys]

Camps.

[Greg Miller]

Right. Where this is like invading your neighborhood. Yeah, yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And Rock did Nightmare on Elm Street. Does that get looped into this with you as well?

[Greg Miller]

No, I know.

[Andy Cortez]

That's Kruger, that's Fred.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Okay, cool.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Frederick.

[Andy Cortez]

Cougar.

[Tim Gettys]

I think you guys need to watch Freddy vs. Jason. Don't watch any of these other movies.

[Andy Cortez]

Is that before or after Jason X?

[Tim Gettys]

After.

[Andy Cortez]

Jason X is crazy. He was in space.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. One of the kills is he freaking freezes. Like uses like cryo freeze to freeze somebody and smashes them and their head explodes.

[Andy Cortez]

That's awesome.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I feel like I've seen that Immortal combat.

[Tim Gettys]

So fucking cool, man. Moving on to Last Epoch.

[Greg Miller]

That's right.

[Tim Gettys]

The critically acclaimed action RPG Last Epochs. Bringing in transformative skill trees. Deterministic crafting. Deterministic crafty. Get the out of here. Community driven development to PlayStation 5.

[Andy Cortez]

Tim hates games, man.

[Tim Gettys]

You, you, you get out. Just good deterministic casting with the crap. Get out of here. There's five classes. Cool.

[Greg Miller]

This is a beloved action RPG in the vein of Diablo that has been killing it on PC forever. You go over to Steam right now, you know, it's English reviews are very positive with nearly 57000 people having put in a review. Set the world on fire in the arch ARPG thing. It's one of the games that made people look at Diablo 4 and go like, oh my God, this Isn't what we want. This is what we want. So to see this come to PlayStation. Finally to move out of. Correct me if I'm wrong. I saw Xanth. Of course. Our ARPG expert was in the chat earlier. This is still in. This is a full release on place. Or I'm on a PC. Or is it. I'm not familiar to that level right now because it's in my Steam library or whatever.

[Andy Cortez]

What's the other really big arpg. I knew you're gonna. Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Xbox One.

[Greg Miller]

No, no, no. It's the other one that I also. Pillars of eternity. Poe 2. Yeah. Poe 2.

[Andy Cortez]

No, I'm not thinking of that one.

[Greg Miller]

Keep going.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Wait, the Amazon one where I cut down the trees?

[Greg Miller]

No, no, no. That's a different thing altogether. Anyways, this is a big deal for it to finally pop over to console and be over here and have people ready to go play. I played it before I Is very enjoyable. I would. I'm gonna. I will be playing this when it comes out on PlayStation.

[Andy Cortez]

Tyler Vicks, all y' all know the chat.

[Greg Miller]

I said POE too.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, but like. But you already had Pillars of Eternity in my head.

[Greg Miller]

You're right. I did say that. You're right. You're right. I'm so sorry. You're right.

[Andy Cortez]

It's okay, man. We're two guys with two claws.

[Greg Miller]

We're just two claws guy. We use him to tear up Tim. Right? Say something mean about Tim. Grab your.

[Tim Gettys]

Like Andy against me. That doesn't happen often. The Seven Deadly Sins Origin coming January 28, 2026. It's an open world anime RPG set in the universe of the Seven Deadly Sins. Step in the role of Prince Tristan of Lions and explore an open world Britannia.

[Andy Cortez]

Nobody. Nobody. Look at this screen at the Twitch chats. Everybody look at each other.

[Mike]

Look at each other right now.

[Andy Cortez]

We all down the line, name a seven deadly sin.

[Mike]

Okay, ready?

[Greg Miller]

Oh, no. Go down the line.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Which side?

[Andy Cortez]

Gluttony, Greed.

[Mike]

Lust.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Dice, Wrath.

[Tim Gettys]

Shazam.

[Mike]

It's Tim's turn to get down there.

[Tim Gettys]

I had each one of those.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, we failed. The game ends there because I couldn't name anymore.

[Mike]

What the.

[Tim Gettys]

Out of the other one.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh. Envy and hunger.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Hunger is not one.

[Tim Gettys]

Hunger.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Pride, I think is one.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. Pride is one.

[Mike]

Oh, really?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

How many is that? Sloth.

[Andy Cortez]

Sloth. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Animal.

[Andy Cortez]

This looks. Whatever this looks. This looks fine, I guess.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Then we had sonic racing Cross worlds. Mega Man's here making my music. Dr. Wiley.

[Greg Miller]

Course.

[Tim Gettys]

Rush Car. Proto Man. Yeah, just like. Yes, yes, yes. All it's Great. Did we know this already?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

This was leaked. We didn't know this, but the streets. If you're on the Reddits that I'm on, we knew it all.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. That's what I'm like. I feel like I definitely knew that Mega man was in this already. But like, I. They treated this like it was an announcement. But hey, cool announcement.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Regardless of future.

[Tim Gettys]

Otherwise, like, love to see this. And I just love we're seeing Mega man at all. And I love that they're still using this design.

[Andy Cortez]

Me too.

[Tim Gettys]

Like, we're just such a great spot. Cool. Will this bring you back at all?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm already back.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I never.

[Tim Gettys]

You haven't left.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Not left yet.

[Andy Cortez]

Never left these streets.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, I'm on the streets. The streets of Mega man and Sonic.

[Tim Gettys]

Greg, you sent something to Assets for seven deadly.

[Greg Miller]

I did. You're right. Just look at the bazongas on this lady. They put the key art. You know, we're not objectifying her. I'm calling out the fact that that is the key art they decided to make for this.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

This is. What is she? A giant woman? I mean, and then she's a giant woman and they made her bend over the town bridge.

[Andy Cortez]

Let's call it with lust. That is one.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's lost.

[Andy Cortez]

That is one of them. Titty's the other.

[Tim Gettys]

Neo3 coming February 6, 2026.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think. I think me and Andy are gonna get into this one.

[Tim Gettys]

This is the one.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think this is the one.

[Tim Gettys]

Never been a better time.

[Andy Cortez]

I think I. Dude, like, we've. I guess I didn't put in a whole lot of time into the PS4 PS5 exclusive game that Greg loved.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, yes.

[Greg Miller]

I did not love it.

[Andy Cortez]

He loved it.

[Greg Miller]

I know what it is.

[Andy Cortez]

This guy doesn't shut up about it.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, he really like down and put it this way.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, man.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Greg's whispering in Andy's ear.

[Andy Cortez]

Gotcha.

[Greg Miller]

Elevate it.

[Andy Cortez]

How you doing, Tim? The thing is, I always end up playing. I played, I feel like the yearly releases from Team Ninja, but we always.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I feel like we always choose the wrong ones, which is everyone. That's not Neo.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, that is very funny.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Neo 2 came out so long ago that I wasn't even into souls games at the time. And it wasn't until wo long that was the first one from Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo. That was. It was a great game with, like, great combat, but everything else just always. Everything else aside from the combat, always falls flat for me in their Titles where you always just wish that they had another year and a half to two years to put more love into everything else because the combat feels great, Pairing feels awesome. Weapons feels like maneuver the way they should or the way you would hope that they would. And then everything around is just so sauceless. And I will hop into this for sure because Neo is like the one that everybody loves.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

If I could say something controversial.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, please.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Instead of Rise the Ronin, I wish they made another Stranger of Paradise. Instead. Give me Stranger Paradise 2. Instead of a Stranger Paradise, Rise their Ronin. Because that had, that had a sauce to it. It was a weird flavored sauce from.

[Mike]

Expected that sticks with you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That was a funny ass video game.

[Andy Cortez]

Like that, that, that went. Seem to by the end of me finishing it, going like, whoa, they're doing some cool.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, I'm like, this is a, this is like a capital VG video game right here.

[Andy Cortez]

Chaos.

[Tim Gettys]

Mike. Destiny Warriors 3 complete remastered March 19th. We're getting the year of Dynasty warriors years next.

[Mike]

Are you kidding me? Let's keep this energy going.

[Tim Gettys]

This is one that I definitely rented from Blockbuster before. Like, when I think of like, oh, I have played Dynasty Warriors. It must have been three, because is three like one of the big ones?

[Mike]

Yeah, I remember two very well. I just think back to the target demo kiosks, right. Where you'd crank your neck up and I would just be playing as much Dynasty warriors as I could while my mom shops. So, yeah, those are. I remember two one and two very well for me.

[Greg Miller]

Kids don't know how good they got it today because they don't walk by the target aisles. I mean, first off, it's all really sad because it's just printed out box arts somebody cut. But they got demo stations their height. It wasn't like.

[Mike]

Looking at NFL Fever with Peyton Manning.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Chucking the pig skin.

[Tim Gettys]

Code Vein 2 coming January 30, 2020.

[Greg Miller]

Code Vein.

[Andy Cortez]

I bet you think this game is about you, don't you?

[Tim Gettys]

So it was between this and Neo3 for you, Andy. And you chose Neo3.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, oh, you chose this and you chose this.

[Tim Gettys]

Yes. Well, now you're saying you're choosing.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, yeah, I kind of forgot I made that. That bet. Wait, they're the same date.

[Tim Gettys]

No, no.

[Mike]

January 30th and February 6th.

[Andy Cortez]

That's enough time.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's enough.

[Tim Gettys]

That's enough time.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Okay.

[Andy Cortez]

You know, I never played the first one. It's always one that I was interested in because I did really enjoy. I, I, you can call me like, you know, simple as hell. But I, I like these sort of next gen looks at what anime can be. I, I just like the, the, the art styles that they have. That doesn't always look great but more often than not I think it translates in a cool way. And when Mike mentioned Scarlet Nexus, that's another game. I love the way that it looked visually but I, I didn't get a try to the first one. I don't remember why. It may have been a very similar Neo1, Neo2 thing where I just wasn't playing games of that style at the time. Like I always get recommended the Surge and the Surge 2.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Remember the Surge?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

This looks you know, like I will at least have to give it a shot as you know, somebody who plays a lot of games like these. Those are big.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, I was laughing at the chat.

[Andy Cortez]

Those are big.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Charlie in chat says Chode vein question mark. I'll let that sit.

[Mike]

We love that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Let that slit.

[Tim Gettys]

Then we got a really weird Fallen Fantasy Toxic Tactics, Evely's Chronicles bit which I get. The game's coming soon. I get this is around TGS but like games coming out in 6 days and whatever. It's here. Cool. But there was no news there, right? Nothing.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Excited about it. Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

For a second I thought it was going to transition into like Final Fantasy 7.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean well 9 remake is the at this point like what one of the only things from the Nvidia leak that isn't real. Like we haven't heard of. So weird. Let it die. Inferno.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Man. Let it die. The original one was such a weird ass video game because it got announced I think at a PlayStation. What's the thing they used to do? The PlayStation? PSX. PSX? Yeah, I believe that was a PSX joint that then got like released very quickly.

[Greg Miller]

She was obsessed with it. Yeah, she played it all the time.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And it came out and it was like kind of souls, like kind of like arcadey combat, brutal. Free to play as well. And I remember playing and being like oh this is weirdly fun and I love the energy and I like, I like Suda 51 and grasshopper and what they do. And so it has like a style and an edge to it that I really dig. They then followed it up with Let It Die. I can't remember the name of the spin off but it was like a multiplayer almost battle royale style game that came out a few years ago. This is their latest entry and they described it in the thing as pvpve, which is not really what I want from this but also I'm at the point where I'm like, I don't even know what I'm. What I want from this. I never thought Let it die would.

[Greg Miller]

I never thought I'd get this again.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I never thought I'd get this.

[Andy Cortez]

Do I want more?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm like, I. I honestly, I'm like, let it die. Let the IP die. Like, this isn't something that I think needs to keep coming around, but it seems like they keep being inspired with it and if they're gonna do weird, I'm totally down for weird. I just hope it hits this time.

[Mike]

Yeah. What is PvPve really look like?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Death Verse is the one.

[Mike]

It was called Extraction Game. What is this gonna be?

[Andy Cortez]

I mean, if you mentioned the first game was very battle royale ish. Like, I assume it's what a lot of modern battle royales do where there are other teams and other people you're fighting, but there are in world, you know, hazards and enemies that'll try to kill you. And if you kill those enemies, then they drop badass loot. But everybody else gets made aware. Remember we were playing hunt showdown.

[Mike]

Hun showdown. We go back.

[Andy Cortez]

You really tried bargaining with that guy to not kill you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

They said extraction apparently in the thing.

[Mike]

So there's going to be 12 kids that are going to be really good at this game and you're going to hate playing it.

[Tim Gettys]

Next up, we had my secret delight, Chronoscript the endless end. Hey, that was 2026.

[Greg Miller]

Really, really good.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Trapped in a book. You get to like.

[Greg Miller]

I don't. The one thing is like the movement didn't look great. Setting, vibes, story cool across the board.

[Tim Gettys]

It's kind of an eyesore, but in a way that I'm into.

[Andy Cortez]

I think that they can go into the slider and toned down by 10 the lines, like, I think it can be a very noisy, busy looking game and it's almost like you can almost just lose where your player character is, it seems like. But the concept is awesome and we've seen a lot of games do similar stuff and it's one of these things where you go, why haven't there been more of these style of games? But yeah, it looks awesome as hell. I love when game developers can get really creative with the medium.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Can't wait to see more crimson desert coming.

[Greg Miller]

Can't believe we've got a date.

[Tim Gettys]

I know. March, March 19th.

[Greg Miller]

The game that does everything. The game that is everything. This is the game. We saw that trailer before. We're like, how Is it doing everything? It's every game shows stuff we haven't seen exactly.

[Tim Gettys]

That weird mech flying things like, the hell's happening here. Do you think it hits March 19, 2026?

[Greg Miller]

No, I just felt. Why? I think the game's incredibly ambitious and I think ambition like that takes time. I can't wait to play this. I want to see if they nail it. But even am I crazy, I saw somebody in the chat when we were watching this trailer go, this looks awesome. I think it looks awesome. Content wise, visually, I'm not like stunned by it. I think some of it looks really noisy and not like high quality hd. Not that that matters again when you're doing fucking everything when I'm flying through the air. But I'm also fighting a mech. But I'm also. I don't know what the hell's going on.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, there's a lot of. I think visually can suffer in some spots because it's trying to do all of the global illumination, ray tracing, all that stuff. And because that stuff's hard to run at 60 frames per second, it will do its sort of rescaling either with dlss or with AMD's FSR. And then that rescale version might look a little noisy because it's trying to just do a lot and trying to upkeep that frame rate. But yes, Greg is right when like, you know, this game is doing everything in ways that you don't really believe until you actually play it. And the level of depth, combat wise, here I was when, when I talked about my oppressions with it. I think this game is going to pop the hell off on social media with just the amount of things that can happen with the randomness with the physics and people posting clips of like this thing, this building fell on a bad guy when I was taking them on. Like I didn't even know that could happen. This game is just kind of like the, the freedom with the physics and the way that all of the elements intertwine with each other and I always bring up the example but if you're, you know, you get locked in a. In a sort of gated area and if you like the, the wooden door on fire, the wooden door will eventually turn to a charred state which then it becomes easier to break through.

[Greg Miller]

Awesome.

[Andy Cortez]

Because you can't break through just normal with a sword or whatever and. But like the stuff is doing combat wise, it's going to be like the most, I think mechanically deep action RPG ever.

[Greg Miller]

The.

[Andy Cortez]

With what they're doing with like, it feels like a fighting game in some ways when they're. I've seen Twitter clips talking about, like, yeah, you can. You can jump. Cancel this move. It's like, what. Why are we using those terms in an accident? But it's like, it's going that deep with the amount of things that can happen where I think, like, circle, triangle, and circle was an rko, but forward and triangle and circle was you picking up an enemy and tossing them. And then you can't toss enemies that are too large, but the smaller ones will also take damage from hitting other enemies or walls or whatever. It's like everything is being taken into account, and this game is gonna be super stunning. But it's one of those where you go, how expensive does my PC need to be to run it? But when I played it, it was, like, crazy smooth and it ran great, and I was very surprised by that.

[Tim Gettys]

Next up, we had the Pulse elevate wireless desktop speakers. All we got was, this is coming in 2026. The two big things I want to know, what's the price? And are they Bluetooth compatible? Is there some weird bullshit or they just gonna let these things be real speakers?

[Andy Cortez]

They had a press release for it, right?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, there's. The blog post is up. That's a great question, treating them like everything else. So, yes, they. You mean Bluetooth compatible?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That I think that. I think they did show in the trailer.

[Greg Miller]

So I can answer the question. You mean Bluetooth, like, talking to your phone? Yeah, yeah, that's totally fine.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, they had to be at the end of the trailer.

[Tim Gettys]

Good.

[Greg Miller]

Because I kind of want this.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm like, I. I guess I don't have the immediate need, but, like, I'm weirdly, like. I'm. A lot of my. A lot of the stuff I use are the Pulse brand. And so I have. Have two Explorers, and I also have, like, the big over the ear Pulse headphones that they got. And I like. I love them when they work. I hate them when they don't work, which is a whole thing.

[Greg Miller]

Right?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But, like, when they work and I have it connected to my Bluetooth and I'm listening to my game and my music at the same time, I kind of fuck with it because one, all my shit has the same aesthetic, but then, two, they are fairly quality, and I like that functionality. When I look at the speakers, I'm like. I kind of like it. I don't know. I like the visuals of it. I like the idea of having that connect to my PCs and just functioning as that and then also I wonder, did they show these working with the PS5 as well? Oh then yes, I absolutely want to use these.

[Greg Miller]

These are as somebody who solely uses. Yeah. With the portal, the earbuds which are the explore and then on my desk and downstairs at home, the elite. Whatever they are. The whatever. The elite. The new elite ones that are all this pulse thing. I love these fucking things. And so these are just speakers that run the exact same way as those.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

So yeah, you can sync them to multiple of the tabs and put them in. They're all easy. They all do the damn thing. Oh my God.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

This is complete me then like.

[Andy Cortez]

Because certainly much more preferred than TV speakers.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

My setup is so I guess unique. And I'm sure plenty of people have this. Right. But I am, when I'm playing on my PlayStation, I'm playing at my desk on my monitor at home. And so I don't have speakers hooked up to it. And so like this would solve so many issues for me.

[Andy Cortez]

As far as you're always headphones in.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm always headphones in on my PlayStation.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. And the other amazing thing about these is I don't know if you guys remember, but the Sony recently in the last like two years acquired a very, very high end audio company that really focuses on the planar magnetic side of things, which is like very. In the same way that we talk like hall effect sticks for controllers. Just being like we need that. That's kind of where we're at with a lot of the sound stuff. I forget what the name of the company was, but I mean I love them. Like they're, they're like on the high, high end. What I totally swear by. So they're using the right tech. I'm hopeful for this but I need to, I want to see the price for sure.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm going to get Audi 9.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Audi is the company Aud.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh yes, Audeze. Yes, exactly. Audi's nuts. Amazing, amazing stuff on PS plus games. We got Alan Wake 2, Cocoon and Goat Simulator 3 coming in October on Last of Us Day, September 26th, Tilu 2 is coming. Includes the remastered for PS5 to the PS plus game catalog. And the classics are Tekken 3, Soul Caliber 3 and Tomb Raider Anniversary. Cool, fun little collection.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, all great stuff.

[Tim Gettys]

Then there was a little Gran turismo section here. 100 million units sold since debut. Gran Turismo, a spec or just spec 3 update is coming on December 25th. Joey's birthday. You get new?

[Greg Miller]

No, I think it's just December 20th, like December this year. It's my note you're reading.

[Tim Gettys]

Got it.

[Greg Miller]

So, yeah, December 25th.

[Tim Gettys]

Sorry. Then God of War 20th anniversary controller come in. You can pre order it on October 3rd. Launching October 23rd. Celebrating God of War 20th Anniversary look.

[Greg Miller]

Nice, a white controller with the Kratos radical.

[Tim Gettys]

Sure, yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Weird.

[Tim Gettys]

Inoffensive.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

You gotta have the light red though. Like.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, you gotta figure that out. Then the big one, Wolverine.

[Andy Cortez]

Like America to me, you know, like, you know, you gotta have no blue there, you know.

[Greg Miller]

Fair enough.

[Andy Cortez]

Keep it.

[Tim Gettys]

Kratos Wolverine Fall 2026. Liam McIntyre is Wolverine himself.

[Greg Miller]

You're Logan.

[Tim Gettys]

We saw Omega Red, we saw Mystique. There's a sentinel at the end of this thing. We're seeing more in spring 2026. So that was. I mean, we're not seeing it at a game awards, which I feel like we kind of thought we might, but that ain't.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I think you probably aren't seeing the game awards. I think this was their big reveal for it. This trailer is going to be watched a gajillion times. It's got all the information out there at best. Maybe you get Liam McIntyre up there to give an award, a game awards from the upcoming thing and maybe you get a look at an extended gameplay sequence or something. But I read that as. Yeah, they're going to have a bigger thing in spring that will be a deep dive into. Here we go, here's skill trees, here's mechanics.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, I honestly, maybe this is too much, right? But I read it more as like a state of play that is Wolverine specific.

[Greg Miller]

That's what I hope for too. But I think even the timing gets weird with that is I want to do is I would not do a Wolverine dedicated state of play in spring and have it come out in fall. Summer, sure. I think that you switch it to summer and do a Wolverine one in there.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, it is funny because like, fuck yeah, this looks awesome. I think the. One of the biggest questions we had is, is it going to be rated M? Is it going to be as like hardcore bloody as we'd want it to be? The answer is yes. That's awesome. I. We're now in that very dangerous territory and like Greg talking about like a state of play that early could make this an even bigger problem for me. But I want to see more. I want to know more characters. But at the same time, I don't. You know, when we saw the Sinister 6 in the E3 trailer for Spider man, it's like we didn't need that, you know, so it is a weird place to be where it's like, I want them to show me so much more, but I'm scared.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I lean on that they will. I would be surprised actually to not see this at game awards, even if it is like a minute trailer. Two minute trailer. It is the. Right now, you just started the road to Wolverine. You need to be very active in your marketing for this game. Not that Wolverine doesn't have like the cashier or whatever, but it is for all intents purposes, it's a new series. Right. It's a new like you are introducing the world to something new from insomniac here. And I think because of that, I would lean more towards show as much as you can. Get people excited, get people hyped for it.

[Greg Miller]

I think on top of that too, you talk about that. You also can't miss Comic Con. This is if for being a fall release in 2026, you're gonna have a great Comic Con panel there where they can bring Liam, bring Marcus, bring whoever else their panel is of whatever, have Eric up there, hopefully have me host it, and then. Yeah, really get into the weeds of what you're doing.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. And I said this during it, but I love that we're seeing him in the classic costume by. This definitely could have just been more of like a Logan game. I know it's called Wolverine, but the. That gives me hope that we might see X Men, we might see the Mansion, we might see that type of stuff. That would be very fucking cool.

[Andy Cortez]

Mystique is like, shit, man.

[Tim Gettys]

We're. Yeah. I am a little like, all right. He's just killing a bunch of these like, cyborg androidy things. Like what's going on?

[Greg Miller]

I think for me, when I look at that, it's the idea that we need a high body count.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

We cannot have a million NPCs. So these are people who gave themselves up for the evildoers to be cyborgs. And so they all look the one of the seven cyborgs, which I'm fine for. I just want to tear up.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

And that's what you seem to be doing. I'll be interested to see upgrades and moves and what you're unlocking and going for. But like, let's go the. The variety of where you are looking. Like we're in Japan being in Magic, where they call that out, Right? Yeah, exactly.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

When he's running on top of that roof, do you think that's like a set piece moment or do you think A lot of the traversal is going to look.

[Greg Miller]

Look like.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Like. I'm curious on what the overall structure. I'm wondering if we're gonna get like more open level four, if it's the.

[Greg Miller]

Way to here to there. It kind of strikes me as like the Uncharted Jeep kind of thing thing where this is a specific. Like we're doing something specific here.

[Andy Cortez]

That doesn't look. That looks like player controlled to me.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, it's player controlled. But I mean, I don't know. Is it open zone where you are on top of rooftop, or is this like. This is the chase scene. Somebody run. We're going after them.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, that looks very much like a sort of chase. You know, if you stop moving, the music keeps going, but you can't go left or right.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. You need to keep pushing forward kind of thing.

[Mike]

I like the destructible environments around that. They kind of.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Give it a little bit more feel to the world. The blood tech they highlighted.

[Andy Cortez]

Right.

[Mike]

Like this absolutely delivered. This rocks. I can't wait to see.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

There's. There's so much to talk about here because like, I want to ask the question also, how many X Men is too much X Men? But that then leads into the conversation of where insomniac might go post Wolverine to lead into a possible X Men video game. I think.

[Greg Miller]

I think you may. I think you might get outside of like the villains in the Rogues gallery or whatever. I think in terms of the X Men you see in this game in like a actual capacity one, maybe two storm. I bet we have an area where, yeah, midway through the game we end up on someone's doorstep that needs to help us and we do a thing with them and then go our separate way.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I think you get like one, like one scene that is Easter eggy, but that like heavily hints of like, hey, the door is open.

[Mike]

Gam.

[Greg Miller]

Sure. I mean the door is open here.

[Tim Gettys]

Looking at this and like, who knows.

[Andy Cortez]

How the white kid in the. In Queens and you're like, oh, basketball kid.

[Tim Gettys]

God, we're so broken. But like this being Wolverine the game, like the one big set piece that I would die to see is Wolverine versus Hulk. Like they could pull that off with how violent this looks. It's like, oh, man, that'd be awesome.

[Greg Miller]

Imagine. Yeah. My thing is, I bet that ends up being a sequel thing.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I was going to say you could title a sequel that. Yeah, that'd be sick.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Any final thoughts, boys?

[Andy Cortez]

Fun time.

[Greg Miller]

Awesome. Soros looks awesome.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Games are cool. A lot of fun games out there, folks. Games are freaking if you're a PlayStation fan. Remember tomorrow we're reviewing Ghost of Yote on the kind of funny games guy.

[Andy Cortez]

Wow.

[Tim Gettys]

Can't believe that's tomorrow. That's wild. Can't wait to hear what y' all have to say. Thank you all for hanging out with us. Today's been a fun one. We'll be back tomorrow. Ghost of Yotei review, Bunch of other fun stuff. Till next time. Goodbye.

[Andy Cortez]

I would mark out for basketball.
