I don't think the same thing if it was a Sony Santa Monica game or any of those top tier, like, oh man, I've been waiting a while for this studio to reveal their game. Yeah. I always bump up a few years from the announcement of when we're actually going to get that. So 2027 doesn't sound crazy to me. I do think that the crazy part of it is the fact that, yeah, are you then talking about cross-gen?

Are we talking about an entire generation maybe not getting a Naughty Dog game? I think that's where it gets into, oh, man. I think no matter what, though, I think once this game comes out, I would imagine that it's coming out on PS5 either way. Unless we get into heavy delay territory.

Because that's how long these games are taking. Unless there is that shift of, hey, we are scaling down a bit. Like...

in the video game industry yeah that's the thing is you know we were having i think it was me and tim that were having this conversation as far as um the god of war greek game that's rumored for later this year and like do you think it could be another third person action adventure or do you think it's going to be something way smaller like you know a 2d thing or like a oh you know or i i started off saying a facebook um uh like um website game yeah um or facebook browser game

mainly because they've done that before like for god of war 2018 there was like a prequel facebook browser game that led into it and so like when i read a side story god of war thing i'm like all right no one said game no one said game and then finally jeff grubb did confirm he's like oh it's a game okay um but i was like all right what's the what's the lowest tier that i could pitch where i'm like i believe this yeah that way like when they do reveal it i can be like oh fuck that's wild that they're gonna do this thing right yeah

But even in the conversation you and Tim were having about that, it was the thing of... I think Tim also being of the mind of, hey, I think PlayStation and these big studios might have to scale down at some point or might have to figure out how to put things out at a more decent pace and figure out how to refine that.

And I kind of go back and forth on it because I think there are some studios that... you know, can be the prestige. We're going to put out one game a generation, and it's going to be the game that is the critical darling, the game that is the flagship, this is the game of our generation kind of thing, versus an Insomniac or a Team Asobi.

Not to say that Inspired Man isn't going to be one of the games in a generation, right? But, like, Spider-Man...

you're at least at the very least you're able to put out multiple of them in one concert generation along with a ratchet along with probably a wolverine right like insomniac has a level of um refinement that they have within their studio of we know how to put out games we know how to make things quick and they don't need to be 11 out of 10 games yeah you know what i mean they
