Chapter 1: What PlayStation announcements are expected?
I was distracted by the teaser. We need a song of the summer. It's not here yet. Will we get it on June 5th? Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah, we don't have a song of the summer yet. 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific. That's really exciting. Do you want to... What's up? He just gave me a look. Months ago, you were like, guess what's going to be in the Nintendo Switch 2 commercial, launch commercial.
Sabrina Carpenter. It's happening.
She's dropping the song, Man Child, at the moment that the Switch 2 launches.
it's all connected everybody they had people listen to the show yeah i think mr nintendo heard the podcast and they're like ah snap that's a good idea we got the carpenter on the phone uh it's such a great week i think a state of play being announced was the thing to really pull it all together i think there was something about the week where i'm like all right i'm excited for the switch too i'm excited for summer game fest i'm excited for xbox like you know it's all exciting but i feel like there's that one piece missing and now it's like all
All right, cool. We're here. It's always more exciting when there's that everyone's here vibe. And we don't have a Nintendo Direct. We don't need one. We're getting the games. We're getting a whole new experience with Nintendo. This feels like old school, that one magical week of showcases. Because I feel like sometimes Summer Game Fest and even E3 feels a little scattered.
Feels a little like, oh, it's getting too unwieldy. There's too many showcases that we know are not going to have anything of consequence. Ubisoft, I'm talking about you. We don't got that. We're cutting that now.
Yeah, cut the fat. Sorry, Ubisoft. You don't got anything going on right now. Tim, speaking of things going on, I've been talking about how in the last few weeks, I've been going to LA back and forth nonstop because there have been hella preview events and things going on. One of the preview events I went to was for the new Riot card game, Riftbound.
The embargo is up now, but I can't talk about much. There's multiple embargoes.
embargo right now though i can just talk about it very broadly so i'm actually not going to go that deep into it i just want to reveal this box that they gave me on the way out which is for like in a box the rift bag it's a box it's a box but it looks like a book it's a book wow um it says riftbound league of legends pre-launch summit that's the thing i went to was the summit right inside they gave me four trial decks okay for riftbound

Chapter 2: What new features are coming with The Witcher 4?
The PlayStation Blog writes, State of Play returns June 4th. Watch live for news and updates on must-play games coming to PS5. The show highlights a selection of great games from creators across the globe. The 40-plus minute show begins June 4th at 2 p.m. Pacific time. Tim, thoughts? Woo!
Chapter 3: What are the predictions for Mario Kart World?
Woo! I mean, it's so exciting, right? We've been talking a lot about Summer Game Fest recently. Tomorrow, or actually two days from now, we're actually... Is that right? Three days from now, we're getting Jeff's show. We did our predictions episode yesterday. Today, we're doing our Xbox Showcase predictions. And now, surprise predictions for a PlayStation State of Play.
40 minutes of something going on. This has been rumored. It's been talked about the last couple days, if not weeks. We saw Shinobi saying that he hears it's going to happen. And Shinobi...
isn't always out there saying things but when he does it's probably gonna end up happening specifically when it's in the realm of space of a playstation right so not a surprise that we're getting this state of play um i do think the timing is it's a little silly it's a little weird to be so close to the switch and like for them to announce it this late but i also feel like playstation's been doing that recently with its uh showcases slash state of plays um if there's a difference if it even matters anymore i was gonna say do you feel anything about this being a state of play not a showcase i
I mean, I know that me and you disagree on our thoughts on this overall. I do still believe that the showcase brand exists and means more, and they want to bring that back when they are ready to have multiple back-to-back bangers.
I don't think that that is going to happen, and I think that them having Intergalactic somewhere and go somewhere else, they're losing the ability to have that anytime soon. That is what it is. Maybe the next one's for the PlayStation 6 lead-up or something. I don't know. But this being a state of play, I think, if anything, Does it at this point is not a factor. It, anything can happen.
We can get Corey Barlog's new game. We can only get third party bullshit games that we've seen a million times before in other places. We can get anything in between. I think it's literally a limitless conversation when it comes to the state of play branding at this point. So yeah, incredibly excited. I'm not necessarily expecting Corey Barlog's game. Oh, I'm not expecting that.
No. Are you? I mean, define expecting. I think it's a possibility. Oh, me too. Yeah, I guess.
I don't think it's going to be there. I will be surprised if it is there. I'll be happy if it's there. I'm not expecting. I'm not predicting that. Although there are things that I do expect to be there that I'm incredibly excited. We've been talking about this.
I mean, dating back even to earlier in January when we did the Fantasy Critic, like a lot of that was us kind of trying to make predictions of what games are going to be announced where. And, you know, without getting too far into our thoughts here, we made some predictions early on that I'm sticking to.

Chapter 4: What game is being teased from SIFU?
like you want me to get into it get into it Resident Evil 9 is going to be there oh yeah it will and I mean I feel like that is one of those like slam dunk ass predictions if I ever heard one so I want to add some spice to this we can't just say Resident Evil 9 is going to be there what are they calling this motherfucker
So what, we had Resident Evil... What was 7 called? Biohazard?
Yeah, it was like 7, V.I.I., and then turned into Biohazard.
We had Resident Evil Village after that.
The V.I.I. turned into Village.
It's going to come down to where this Resident Evil takes place, right?
So my thing is... There's been a lot of leaks about this game. There's been a lot of conversation specifically from Dusk Golem, who is one of those leakers that gets things right and is very detailed about stuff and has been right about Resident Evil many times in the past. Sounds like this is a Leon-based adventure.
Sounds like the game's had a lot of potential directions it could go, so it's a little messy on what it's going to actually be. But I think it's going to be third person based on what they're saying. And it sounds like it's a pretty drastic departure from 7 and Village.
Interesting. So do you think they're going back to classic, or I guess middle era Resident Evil?

Chapter 5: What can we expect from the new Riot card game, Riftbound?
Yeah.
I like, Yeah, I'm trying to think of a scenario where PlayStation would even announce that, like, outside of a big showcase, like, it could be an end of a state of play kind of thing, right?
But I think more likely a PlayStation showcase, a Game Awards, a Summer Game Fest, like, whatever the top tier is of showcase, I think that's what you save Wolverine for, especially when you have these options. I mean, let's take out the where it's going to be. I mean, Hyper Games is Comic-Con. That's also... No. I think that's a decent option.
I don't. No? Comic-Con sucks, dude.
San Diego Comic-Con?
Yeah. It's just not... Especially, like, takeaway live streaming for the majority of panels and things. Like, it's... That's not where you announce stuff like that. That's where you show stuff off later. That is not... And I know that Wolverine's already been announced, but, like, that is a...
third round of that's fair i think wolverine would show up at comic con with voice actors like that it would show up at comic con if we got a trailer this week you know what i mean like they will follow it up at comic yeah so forget where it's going to be what's your percentage that we see wolverine this week this week percentage 20 Yeah, I'm there, too.
Yeah. Like, it's not impossible. Yeah. It'd be pretty cool, but, like, I don't expect it.
There is a chance, and if it was, it's not like, oh, my God, this is life-altering. But it's like, yeah, it's not an expected thing.
