Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to side Quest. This is our weekly
video game show here at Geek. First, I'm your host,
Dylan Musk, and I have with me the half Life
or three Half Life three or bust Travis unless the
one totally bitch a Butcher that. How are you doing, Travis?
Speaker 2: I am doing all right. I'm excited.
Speaker 3: Video Game Awards time is always a fun time to
think about what could win and other predictions, so it's
always a fun time. And the show, whether it's good
or bad, it's always a fun watch. So I'm excited
to watch it, hopefully be on the cast. My it's
gonna to pin off my twins fall asleep, that's the plan.
But if I can get them asleep by time he
goes live, I'll be I'll be sneaking in because of
nut Cracker. But I'm excited for the season nonetheless, so absolutely.
Speaker 1: And then we also have the Tailor Field of Fields
with us. How's it going, buddy boy?
Speaker 4: It's going good. You know it's Monday. Mondays are Funday?
Speaker 2: So are they right?
Speaker 1: Because a fine day Sunday? And then what would you
say for Monday? Funday? Monday? A fun day? Okay, fine day?
And then Funday. That's not confusing at all. Yeah, it
was supposed to have a full house, but you know,
Kirkland busy, so he's not he's not here. But yeah,
today we're gon be talking about the Game Awards, which
is of course happening next week next Thursday, the tenth
or eleven, something like that, and it's like Thursday, Wednesday, Thursday,
you know it's Thursday public there you go, I don't know,
something like that. But today we are going to do predictions.
We're going to go through all the categories minus esports
and make our predictions who we think is gonna win
each category, talk through them as well, and then we'll
also do some predictions about what we think some announcements
could be. Taylor Fields of course got the fun wacky
Chad gyptuh wild last year Jeff was righting non stuff. Remember, Yeah,
there was like dragons and fire and it was insane.
So we'll see and none of it happened, but you
know what, it was funny three Yeah, we'll see. So
that's fun as always. So uh with that, let's just
get right into it here. We're gonna start with the
awards and doing our predictions there and then we'll loop
back around to the announcements at the end of all things.
But yeah, I'm gonna pull it up here so for
the YouTube people you can see what we're doing here.
Me and Travis did a quick first impressions of like
really just two or three maybe the bigger category. I
guess we talked through all of them, but like didn't
really have a big conversation about most of them. We
can do that here as well. So, yeah, Game of
the Year. These six contenders are Clare Obscure Expedition thirty three,
Death Stranding, two on the Beach, Donkey Kong, Bonanza, Haities two,
Hollow Night, Silk Song, and Kingdom Come Deliverance too. I
guess I'll uh, it's probably worth doing this, but just
as a reminder for you guys and for everyone listening,
the way the Game Wore works is it has a
big jury of people. Those people are like, you know,
IGN is one of them, you know, you're kind of Funnies,
min Max, different podcast things like that. But then just
publications from all around the world. They get ballots and
for each of these categories they pick five things, unranked
for each one, so you know, IGN gets Game of
the year, put your five things in the Game of
the Year bucket. Okay, IGN dumps five things, and they're
all the outlets dump in their five things, and then
this is just a tabulation of all those things. So
I think the important thing to note there is that
you know, it doesn't matter if IGN thinks Clare Obscure
is Game of the Year or if Kingdom Come Deliverance
is is game of the Year. It has the same
vote power from like that one outlet, it all just
gets put into a hat there. I think there are
cases where they could choose to only put in one thing.
If they let's say they're doing like best Racing Game
and it's an outlet that doesn't cover a lot of
racing games, maybe they would only put Mario Gart or
something like that. But for the most part, that's pretty
much how it works. You pick five things, and then
they say that it always they'll just whatever the five
most popular things are. Unless there's a tie, that's what
they have in the category. But it seems like game
there always has six, So I think I think they
just put the top six now unless there was once
again a tie. But I feel like if that is
the case, there's been a tie every single year. So
that's more or less how the game awards work. So
once again, it is absolutely a popularity contest, and there
isn't like, oh yeah, this out yeah for this award.
I feel like, let's give it to this game over
this game. Like there isn't like a jury in that way, right,
Like these juries aren't really talking to each other. It's
just all these different outlets and isolation doing stuff. Who
knows what happens behind the scenes. But that's more or
less how it works. So just as a quick reminder,
of course, but again the Game of the Year stuff Claar,
Obscure Death, Stranding two, Bonanza, Hades two, Silk Song, Kingdom
Come Deliverance too. Taylor, when you saw this list or
when you're seeing it now, what do you think this
any snubs or is there anything that's like, Wow, I'm
surprised that's in this contender for the Game of the
Year this year.
Speaker 4: I mean, uh ah, donkey Kong. I haven't played it,
but I'm actually I'm surprised that's that's in there. But
all I just take is people's word for it. I
feel like, you know, des Stranding makes sense. Haiti's two
makes sense. A lot of these are games, I mean,
all of these are games that I have not played personally,
but I've heard lots of other people talking about, most
notably Clear Obscure or Exhibition thirty three. That's the one
that's like everyone's just raving and praising that one. Kingdom
Come Deliverance too. I don't really know anything about that,
so I'm gonna say I'm kind of surprised that that
one's actually in here, because that's the one that maybe
I haven't really heard any one of my friends talk about,
maybe one in Passing, but everything. All these other games
I've I'm very familiar with based on hearsay and word
of mouth.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I like the hear's the description. Yeah, I
feel like, unless there is a tie, Kingdom Come is
definitely like number six on this list, I feel like,
in terms of votes that came through. Although you know
that that game has a lot of fans that are
very passionate about it, so that makes a lot of sense.
And Yeah, as you mentioned, they're Clear Obscure, We're gonna
see that game a lot tonight, coming up in almost
every single category that it's eldrilling. Even a couple that
it feels wrong that it's in those categories even, but
that's again how it works. Because the game words doesn't
limit you as to what you put in what category.
These outlets can do absolutely whatever they want, and Jeff,
he just kind of lets it happen. So yeah, prediction wise,
for me, this is a kind of an easy slam dunk.
I feel like it is going to be obscure. I mean,
I also feel like Silk Song is probably really right
up there with it in terms of overall votes and whatnot.
But I feel like clare obscure maybe just it just
it just got everything and the fact that it's in
so many categories makes me pretty confident that that's gonna
take it. So that's gonna be my prediction. I would
be surprised if you guys pick something different. But let
me know you, what do you think?
Speaker 2: No, I think this is one.
Speaker 3: It's been kind of those clear cut years unless there's
some surprise, which you know can't happen in award shows,
you kind of over analyze it and we're just thinking
that's the one. But then I continuency rises up. But no,
I just feel like when this game came out, it's like, Okay,
this is the front runner, and then I just feel
like nothing ever took its spot.
Speaker 2: And I guess soil so I agree with you.
Speaker 3: If there's any surprise, I guess it could be that,
but I just feel like it didn't have the overwhelming
tsunami hypeport takes to take it down right me, I
can't remember me and family with Clay made the bed
a couple of years ago when I puted Zelda Tears
the Kingdom and I think it was Baller's Gate that one,
but that came out in the summer, and that was
like a once I came out, I knew, okay, I
lost that bet because you could just feel that momentum
where I feel like I've not felt that with any
of these games other than thirty three.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I put my vote on thirty three.
Speaker 1: I'm there too, Okay, pretty easy, Uh okay. Next up
then is going to be Best Game Direction, which has
Claire Obscure Expedition, thirty three, Deaths Straining two on the Beach,
Ghost of Yo, Tie Hades two, and Split Fiction, so
Ghost to Tie and Split Piction being the ones that
kind of got subbed in here. Yeah, I feel like
we probably talked about this a little bit, Travis, but yeah,
Haites two is maybe the surprising one for me here
to see in here, just just because of the category
awarded for outstding, creative vision and innovation and game direction
design just feels like a very sequelly sequel to me.
Super Giant Games is a developer that people love and
people know a lot of the names of the people
who work there, and I feel like it is known
in that way, and that's I think a big that's
a big thing for people putting things into this category.
Split fiction as well. Obviously, Joseph paris a big, a
big personality, especially on the Game Awards stage. We've seen
him many times before, Fuck the Oscars, all that good stuff.
So in Kojima as well, you know, like people get
maybe Ghost of Viotie is the one that kind of
stands out in clar here just because it's a newer team.
But interesting to see what was picked in this category.
But I think for me, it's gonna be a clear obscure. Again.
You know, sometimes there is a split on this, but
I think it's just gonna be Expedition thirty three sweeping
this again. Way we're going. I don't know if I
reveal my hand.
Speaker 2: Yet, you know.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just this expedition. Thirty three is on
this list, so I'm just gonna vote for it.
Speaker 3: Wow. Uh yeah, I'm gonna go that way too. If
people in the early years, remember I did point out
there was a I think it was like four to
five years. Maybe there's like a five year stretch and
there was one year there was difference, but there was
a long stretch of them doing the split. I also
talked about this an oscars. I feel like there's like
voting bodies or just the moods people are in sometime,
or it's the games where it's like, well we really
love both.
Speaker 2: Games, we can't award them for one. And I don't
know if it was conscious.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was just like it just
happened to be lucky matter of fact. But that's where
for many years it was, oh, whoever won game direction
didn't necessarily win game the year, where the past few
years I think that's changed. Another time with the Baller's
gay what happened who won game year last year?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? What came out on what was it
last year?
Speaker 3: Because Ballers was before and oh astro astra astro w
and that one game direction as well. So I feel
like now it's kind of in that that wavelength and
like people know about me, says the Oscar said, both
the games. For me, it's if I was voting, it's
one on one, whatever's game of the year. I'm giving
a game direction as well. It's that that team, that person,
if they attract the Game of the year, they also
deserve this award. To me, they're kind of one the same.
But yeah, I think this is another year where thirty
three takes it and I'm interesting in the next couple
years we get another situation where they kind of split,
but it hasn't happened in the past couple of years now, so.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, okay, moving along. Then next up is
best narrative with clear obscure desk straining two Ghost of
Yo Tai, Kingdom Come, Deliverance to and Silent Hill. F
I really like to see Silent Hill breaking into the
narrative category here. I think that's really cool a game
I have not played yet, but definitely very excited for
that one. And yeah, I don't know, I feel like
Kingdom Comes is one that I hear about just the
kind of the the little moments and like the world
and stuff over just hearing about like a really interesting
main narrative story campaign type situation, So that one's kind
of interesting that it sneaks in there as well. For me,
I might be broken record here, but I'll say it again,
it's clear obscure for me on this one as well.
I mean that game's narrative is excellent, the voice acting,
even just the premise the hook alone is more interesting
than like the story of anything else on this list,
in my opinion. And that's just like the first fifteen
minute like prologue hook of the game, and then it
goes into a million cool places after that. So yeah,
that's gonna be That's gonna be my pick as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think so. I thought.
Speaker 3: I think I said this on that one cast we did.
If there's anywhere where they wanted to throw like Kajima bone,
maybe people would kind of go here because he's known
for his narratives. But I think even people that liked
the first like likes this game more than me.
Speaker 2: I still think people.
Speaker 1: Prefer that first story versus this.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's like the last of Us too,
where the Last of Us Like, I still prefer Last
of Us one, but there's heavy hitters for Last of
Us too, right where I don't know if there's heavy
hitters for desk stranding too. I think most people'd be like,
oh yeah, I could see. Like even people I've talked to,
you know, how doalgoes one? He loved the story and
then when I brought many things, he's like, oh yeah,
you know, I can see your point. I think that's
a thing where it's not like you push back like no, no, no,
like that's not an issue. So I think it's thirty
three just had that hype. I know the voice acting
obviously has gone all praise. We'll get to invest like
voice performance. When you have that many people nominating there,
that to me is kind of like a tip of
the hat to be like, how can that not get narrative?
So uh, and we'll see and maybe this will be
a recurring thing, but we'll have to see. Maybe I'll
look while you're looking at this is what the record
is for who's won the most Game Awards ever?
Speaker 2: Because I wonder if it's gonna it got the most nominations, right.
Speaker 1: I think surprised because it like above all these other
kind of big, more critical categories. It's also like indie,
both indie game categories. It has three voice actors, which
is like crazy. So if you count that as three
separate votes, that's like huge. So I feel like it must.
I can't think of another game that's as much as it,
so it has that.
Speaker 3: And then right now the aforementioned funny enough last of
US Part two his the most wins at seven currently
the record holder ball games, but not the most, not
a nation, no, just the most wins.
Speaker 1: And is that the second most because it's that doesn't say.
Speaker 3: That here because I just got the winners now. But
and then Baller's Gate and god to where Ragnrock were
tied for six wins, so there you go. So and
I think it could easily least tie those, but we
could see it.
Speaker 1: Interesting thing with balders Gate because I think it appears
in like community support or something. So I wonder if
you factor it over the multiple years for a game
like that, which clairebsciit probably wouln't have unless it has
like a big dealc I guess, which is atypical for
the ongoing game thing. But I wonder if that, like
Climbs balders Gate over time. I don't think we'd count
like most anticipated as an award win for a game
was that then we count that as like having a
game ward going into next year. But in the case
of community support, I feel like that is worthy of
counting that for the overall total, even if it is
like a se per year. But then in that case
maybe League of Legend or not League Legends fucking Fortnite,
maybe that is the most game wards of all time.
That's true in all the years of the game wards,
And you were right.
Speaker 3: Last of Us too was the previous nomination holder with eleven,
so uh, Claire got twelve, So.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, does that again throwing all these numbers at you,
does for that Claire? Does that count three separate voice
actor ones or is that just like in voice acting
Claire appeared once.
Speaker 3: That I don't have that specific breakdown. I know what
you mean, but I don't have that. I think it's
including them all. I think it's including the voice actor
ones as well, So that's kind of three goes right there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but the last of us much I had
that too, right, No, last of us.
Speaker 3: Only had Abby nominated and she won Ellie No, not
Ellie No, she won I think the first time. But yeah,
not that because I think it was a big deal
because people hated Abby, so they're.
Speaker 1: Like, of course they dominate her and Da but no, yeah,
it was just Abby.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Taylor, did you weigh in on narrative yet? Already
wrote down exhibition But I don't know if you actually
picked that yet.
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like I I feel like I'm
a broken record because I like your pitch for Silent Hill.
I feel like that's I mean, narrative base, that's definitely
up there. But Claire obscure again, it's my friend was
just telling me the other day how it was making
him cry when he was playing. I thought, man, that's
that's a good narrative.
Speaker 1: It's a deeply emotional game, for sure. You guys got
to play it at some point. Okay, moving along to
best art direction. We've seen a few of these games before,
Clarub's hear Death Stranding two goes to Yo tai Haites
two and Silk Song. For me, this is the first
time where it's not just like a runaway win for
Clarub scar and I'm not sure. We're not gonna pick yet,
so I'll like one of you guys go first this
time around. You what do you think it for Best
Art Direction?
Speaker 4: You know? I I feel like Hades that first one
really popped off with this.
Speaker 1: I can't remember if it actually won Best Art Direction
for its year A.
Speaker 4: But Hayes two just doesn't have that same buzz at
that first one does have. I feel like I could
see uh, Hollow Night's silk song. I don't know why
I'm gonna kind of leaning into that gorgeous game, no doubt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, I'm with Taylor and the uh.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm gonna I'm with Taylor, but I'm
gonna go with my gut.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna stick with thirty three.
Speaker 3: I think there's a I think there's if there's a surprise,
it's here because maybe, like oh, I've photed for a
lot of other places. But again, if people are just
vibe with it that much, I feel like I got better.
I think I feel like I'll go against thirty three
when I feel very strongly against it and I and
I don't say I'm gonna still go with thirty three here,
but I don't think. I think, like Dylan said, it's
not a pure lock. This one, like the other ones,
feel pretty confidence going that way. I'd make pizza bets
on them all. This ain't been in a pizza h Yeah.
Speaker 1: Desk rounding is a tricky because I feel like when
we first saw that game, or maybe it was the
second time, I forget, but like remember, just like those
those trailers travs, like the drone shot almost of like
the dunes of Mexico or whatever it was, and just
like these gorgeous landscape shots was like, oh my god.
So in terms of like raw fidelity, it feels like
well desth stranding. Of course that would win it, but
of course art direction can mean so much more than that.
And yeah, for me, Claire obscure, it's just like oozing
with style, like even in the UI in combat, like
the costume design has some of the best video game
costume design I've ever seen. The characters all of really
unique looks to them and tattoos and then like a
weird imagery of like the kind of distorted France and whatnot,
and interesting for me, I feel like I don't know
if this is a good or bad thing for these games,
but all of these with the accession of Clairebscure are
the second game in a series, and they don't really
change the art style dramatically from the first one. So
I wonder if that hurts them at all, that it's
like more the same. I feel like Haties two if
anything has changed, as the most to your point tailor,
And like, I remember those those like trailer cut scenes
they had hyping up that game are gorgeous. I would
watch an animated show all about that. But I am
I'm gonna be boring here and want to go with
Clare Obscure because you know what, it's a gorgeous game
and it uh it, it deserves this. You know. I'm
not even pot you know. So, yes, he's got Silk
Song there, so you know he's diverging from from the
rest of us here. Okay, we'll see if he does
that again. With Best Score and Music, where we have
Christopher Larkin for Hollo Night Silk Son, Darren Korb for
Hades two, Laurian Testar for Claire Obscare Expedition thirty three,
Toma Atoa for Ghost of Yotai, and then Travis's favorite
wood Kid and Ludwig Foresell for Desk Traning two on
the Beach. So I yeah, I feel like interesting, I
guess that they have to like pick the specific composers
for this because I feel like Deastranning has a lot
more music than just because Little going to be like the.
Speaker 2: Score guy, yes, yeah, he's a composer.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah uh, And then Woodkid would be just like
I guess has.
Speaker 2: The most his original songs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, original song as even though there's other music in there.
And then even go see You Tie remember it had
like different like low five beats and stuff that was
like different field season stuff, which I imagine were different composers.
I mean, maybe it is this one composer that all
these different versions and stuff. But interesting in that case,
But yeah, what do you what do you think about
that one? Travis, is your favorite? Death Training? Is that
gonna take it?
Speaker 3: Do you think, Oh, I'll pull Grandma and just say like,
oh yeah, like I've not playing all these games, but
Desk Training it's the best on this list no matter what.
Speaker 1: I don't care if it wass or not. And again
I've not heard any of these.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know it honestly, Yeah, it deserves
some great credit, but I.
Speaker 1: Can't really say that because I'm not playing these.
Speaker 3: Uh let's see here, I'm gonna go because I feel
like I'm basing this off of Mic and I feel
like I've heard him at least drop the word score
a few times in the discord while describing the game,
so I could have a faulty memory. But I think
I'm gonna also go with thirty three and I'll say
they don't, they don't, they don't change it up, so.
Speaker 1: I'll uh, I'll jump in after here. I I mean,
this is this is a stack list. I haven't played
Yota yet, but like always, that first game soundtrack is
super good. Uh, Silk Song soundtrack is unfreaking believable. It
is so damn good. It's like Lord of Lord of
the Rings level epicness. Uh you know runs the gamck
from like creepy to like epic orchestral stuff. It is outstanding.
But I do think that again, Clare obscure it has.
I think one thing that's huge for this category is
having just like a memorable main theme, and Claire Obscear
has that it already has like a theme of vibe
to it that when you hear. If you've played the
game and you're just browsing right it and someone like
has that music playing with something, you're just immediately you know, chills,
you know, like the rocks in the house for it,
And yeah, Desk Stranding has the vibes for sure. But yeah,
I think I'm gonna go with Claire Obscure. And I
feel like when that's ripping on the uh when they
do the Game of the Year orchestra, It's gonna be
a banger track this year, no doubt. But yeah, when
that Claire moment comes in and you have you know,
someone up there doing the vocals, like the house, you know,
gonna the house is gonna be burning down, It's gonna
be sick. So I'm gonna go with Claire Obscure on
this one again, which I have not deviated from yet.
But Taylor, what do you think? And you went silk
song last time, You're gonna go silk song again?
Speaker 4: I mean, oh, wood Kid, I love some wood Kid.
They have been with wood Kids since Assassin's Creed.
Speaker 2: But you gotta get on the Stranding. Man.
Speaker 1: You're gonna love Death straying two wood Kid pops off.
I love good pop off. There's a loco here leveled
up by Spotify. It says for the score music, So
I guess Spotify is an official sponsor. Interesting. Yeah, I'm
gonna go. I'm gonna go wood Kid with this called
my Heart.
Speaker 2: With the Heartie. I hope you're right me too.
Speaker 1: That would be very cool.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Next up is best audio design recognized in the Best
in Game Audio and Sound Design. We have, uh not
Call of Duty, but we have Battlefield six. We have
Clare Obscure, Expression thirty three Deaths, Stranding too on the Beach,
Ghost of bo Tie, and Silent Hill f Now this
is a tricky one because I I love Claire Obscure,
but the sound design, Yeah, I don't know if that
for all these categories so far, I see it. I
see the vision for this one. I don't. I don't
it sounds good. It must because I played the game
and I don't remember it sounding bad. But I like that.
That's the That's the thing that the first time where
I'm feeling like there's a there's a weakness in the
armor or something like that, is.
Speaker 3: That a hand of I had a question, Yeah, please
go ahead to because I I may be in Heugh
and Casher vote first, sure or I'm not sure if
you want to do that Toather, But I feel like
every year I hear your pitch about why Call Duty
is gonna win this category because if and then you
list off all the like ten things called duty does,
like oh the sound of the tires and the dirt
or sound of this does battlefield obviously and played Battlefield,
but it's in that slot. Does that does that go
towards that? Does all those people that usually vote for
those like oh you hear the reload of the gun
is just does that transfer their votes for the battle
Battlefield six or they going elsewhere this year?
Speaker 4: I feel like I feel like it'd be battlefield a
game battlefield. They really focus on details and whatnot. And
I was watching some comparison videos actually recently where it's
like Call of Duty. The guy just throws the grenade,
doesn't pull the pin out of the grenade, but you
know the battlefield, the pin comes out of the grenade,
throws it.
Speaker 2: Voted for the pin sound it couldn't sound.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but just some of those audio bits that you
get are just unmatched. They're they're so so far out. Yeah, yes,
Battlefield six is definitely.
Speaker 1: Woo Okay, I like to see that. I'm really between
Death Stranding and Claire Obscure just for the fact that
it is Claire ob scar But I feel like Death
Stranding two to me, I mean that game. That game
has freaking sound design. Oh yeah, there's fun sound effects.
Speaker 2: All over the from the guitar.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I guess that counts because that's not quite score.
It's just that yeap and on the on the guitar,
and you know, desk Randing too, Like I was thinking, like,
you know, it's a less popular game, but at the
same time, it still is in almost all these categories,
just like you know, it's right there, and I feel
like this one is a category that definitely has some
recency bias to it. So that's why I do Battlefield
is a pretty good pick. But dest Stranding at least
more recently came out than Claire Obscure, So you know what,
I think, I'm gonna throw my weight behind desk Stranding here.
I feel like the safe thing, honestly is probably Claire
ob Scares because it is that's it is what it is.
But I'm I'm gonna go desk Randing here. I'm gonna
put my heart behind this one a bit.
Speaker 2: And that's where I'm going.
Speaker 3: The opposite way for the juggler going for thirty three,
especially with you two not on it.
Speaker 2: If you if one of you and that were, maybe
I'll go somewhere else. But no, this is is a
chance to.
Speaker 1: Make some room here pulling for destranding.
Speaker 3: But uh, I think I think we have the three
that could win though in my opinion, So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Silent hill F doesn't quite have the
the juice to it, and Ghost I think none of
none us I've played it, so it's hard to comment
on that, but I'm sure the swords sound unbeliaved.
Speaker 3: I can see it, yeah, Like the first one has
that type of like vibe, right.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, Okay, Well let's go from audio design
all the way to performance here, where we have Ben
Starr for Claire Obscure. We also have Jennifer English and
Claire Obscure, and we also have Charlie Cox and Claire Obscure,
So taking up half the half the spots here, we've
got Eric Ishi for Ghost of Yo, Tai Kanatsu Kato
Silent hill F, and Troy Baker from last year's Indiana
Jones and the Great Circle and uh again, I'm I'm
struggling with this one here. I unfortunately don't think Ghost
too Tie Silent Hill f have the sauce to make
it here. I think for me it's it's either Indiana
Jones or Claire Obscure. But claib Scar has you know,
three of those spots, and that's where it gets tricky.
That's where it gets tricky for me. I just kind
of feel like popularity wise, which game wards is popularity contest?
I feel like everyone's gonna have Indiana Jones unless they
forgot that, Like they can't nominate it because it came
out last year. That's where it's tricky, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this one's tough because I think it's really like
all these people for the most part I can't speak
to uh uh come back to Caudo. But I like,
I've not seen these people on this list before. So
it's Troy Baker versus like a bunch of newbies in
this type of arena.
Speaker 1: Right, I feel like Ben Starr and Jennifer English I've
probably been nominated before, right, Jennifer English for ballers Gate,
Ben Star for Final Fantasy you.
Speaker 2: Could be right, but I don't know that.
Speaker 1: Okay, for sure, Baker and Charlie Cox are more well
known than the rest of that, I can agree with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm gonna go because where I am
with Troy Baker. It's a tough thing because I think
it all depends on your taste, right, Because I think
for me, when I hear Troy Baker as India Jones
aka Harrison Ford, to me, it's like it is a
Harrison for impersonation, but there's layers to it so it
doesn't sound like that, and it brings it feels like
Troy still brings some of himself, right, It's not just
a full impression. But I guarantee there will be people
that go, well, he's just doing Harrison for impression, right,
He's just easy, not easy, but like he's basing off
someone else. And are people just havey because like, oh,
I feel the nos solage.
Speaker 2: Of Harrison Ford, Right, So I think and Troy has
won this, I think at least a couple of times.
I mean, I look into that.
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go with Jennifer English on this one.
Oh yeah, I think I'm gonna throw my weight there. Uh,
I've heard some good things about it, and I think
Troy could easily win this, but uh, yeah, I'll be
a little spicy and uh give it to the Miss English.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really curious how like the behind the scenes
would work for the outlets voting for this, Like I
if they limit themselves, like okay, we can only have
one per game, That's where claib'scar could become an issue
because easily that game could split the votes if that
is a restriction they're putting on themselves. Because even beyond this,
like the voice actress for Lune and cl I also worthy,
like I would not be shocked if they made it
in the top ten if there was best performances like
there's just so everyone doesn't such a great job in
that game. Yeah, and I do feel like if there
is one, the biggest one probably would be Jennifer English.
I probably I agree with you on that. Ben Starr
probably the number two. Charlie Coux just because he's not
quite in as much as the other ones. I feel
like he would maybe fall a little bit behind perhaps,
But yeah, but I don't know. There might not be
any splitting if the outlets don't limit themselves, you know,
and they're just like, yeah, whatever, we just submit six
different Clarebscar picks and like we just let it rip.
You know, they might do that too. I'm not sure.
Oh I now, I now I'm concerned about my pick. Why.
Speaker 3: I'm just an IMDb and like from them, they're saying,
he's only been nominated Toymakers only he's never won, and
he's only been nominated twice twenty fourteen for a Shadow
of Mortar and now.
Speaker 1: This, Oh, trying to think what I guess Last of
Us was before.
Speaker 3: But the ladies always take it though even then, right,
it's usually Elie or like I said, with Abby taking that.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Game Awards.
Speaker 1: Was Game Awards a thing in twenty thirteen or was
it still the previous game Awards? It was the previous
game because there was the Spike Game Awards, right, that's
the first game award he might he probably won that.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 3: Uh, okay, let me because I did have the Spike
thing there. If he's if he didn't want any the
Spike era, I might have to change my pic. I
feel like now it's kind of the Okay, So he
did win for Joel for Spike Game Video Game Awards
to twenty thirteen Best Voice Actor for that and he
was nominated in Bioshop. But still, it's a long time.
That's twelve years and even then that's not as many.
I thought this guy would have won it a couple
of times.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 1: I tricky, man, It's tricky. I mean, I'm I'm gonna
go with Troy at the end of the day. So
if you want to, I'm.
Speaker 2: Going back to well, I'm gonna copy you.
Speaker 3: I was under an impersonation of like, well, he's won
a bunch, so we could give to someone else. I'm
gonna go Troy now that I know he's only won
once and that's in the old there too, not even
and that's when, like, were they really doing that much
numbers wise? They now they're on the biggest stage. This
would be a good time. And I think you are
right though when you're talking about that, that's an issue
that all the Claire ones could split the votes and
that's gonna hurt where I don't think that will happen
obviously with Troy, and I don't think Koto or Kato
is gonna make much of a difference there, So yeah, no,
I'm gonna go Troy as well. Now I have this
information that he's only won once and not in this iteration,
I think this is the time to time to crown him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I feel like Troy Baker. Obviously he's great,
but I feel like he's also developed as anyone who
is a huge celebrity developed, like a fair number of haters.
He does a lot of and says a lot of
stupid shit online. That's fair, but I feel like everyone
and I'm kind of like that too. Honestly, someone's gonna
kind of sick of this guy. But even I had
to like just bow down to the king. He fucking
crushes it in that game. And I feel like I
every podcast I heard that like has their Troy Baker haters.
They're all like, yeah, but he's absolutely incredible and outstanding
in this game. So I feel like he's just on
every ballot, with the exception of the people who just
forgot that they're allowed to nominate it, which I think
the people who do this take it seriously for the
most part, although I don't even know many of the
publications because they're so random. But yeah, me, me and
Travis are on Troy Baker's side. Where are you going, Taylor?
Speaker 4: I mean, you guys made some very compelling cases here
because I came in here looking at this as like
there's a.
Speaker 1: Chance, though, to get ahead of us if you go
with a Claire obscure one when we're just wasting our
votes over on truck.
Speaker 4: I've already ahead with my other picks where I broke
from the norm.
Speaker 1: I forgot about that.
Speaker 4: Let's go, Jennifer English.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, what happens a good pick?
Speaker 1: A great pick? Even?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Speaking of a great pick, I think if you're to
go going to go anywhere on the internet, maybe the
best place is the geek first Patreon because that gives
you access to all sorts of episodes early and ad free.
You get all sorts of voting power, more voting power
than the people voting on the game awards. You get
to create content directly instead of just being zero point
zero one percent of a vote. You know, it's just
a total mess, but Patreon good pays to go. Best
place to support us. You know, a dollar there goes
a long way, and so go check it out if
you want to support us. And many thank you to
our beautiful. Patreon producers Aaron Braden, April of Darkness, Jack Grant,
Sam super Bad, Mike TGGLM six', Nine Charlie, Rendell, Cocktail
Clay john With NO h And Sam green And Travis.
Snell no not.
Speaker 3: ME i do a lot of other work, there but
for people obviously all patrons that are face tuned. Up right,
now next two days you can submit The Christmas movie
retrospective submissions and then the poll live On. Wednesday there's
some what The den was speaking about right, there as
far as some action you.
Speaker 2: Do you literally pick the content we.
Speaker 3: Review so if there's something you want us to talk,
about or when you get the poll you want to
vote for something you don't want us to talk. About
next two days we get to do that. Retrospective so,
yeah good.
Speaker 1: Stuff so, yeah go check it, out support, us and
if you are, not you'll have to listen to some,
ads so do that right. Now we'll be right. Back,
okay we are. Back next category IS i believe innovation,
inaccessibility recognizing software and or hardware that is pushing the
medium forward by adding, features, technology and content to help
games be played and. Enjoyed buy an even wider. Audience
for this, one we Have Taylor field's First Assassin's Creed
shadows mentioned of The, day we Got Adam, Fall doom The, Dark, AGES,
Ea SPORTS, fc And south Of. Midnight so Somehow i've
played four to five of. These haven't PLAYED US, Ea SPORTS,
Fc Adam. FALL i don't remember digging around those settings too,
much AND i don't remember much about the. Accessibility i'm
really surprised to see that in, here but if it
is in, here it probably probably deserves. It Assassin's. CREED
i mean USUALLY i feel like for, us, right we're
not usually jumping around in the settings to see all this.
Stuff it's you, know not necessarily for, us but it
is for a lot of other. PEOPLE i don't. KNOW
i don't know what to pick. Here this feels like
a bit of a shot in the dark for. ME
i don't. Know do you guys have a way you're
leaning on? This?
Speaker 3: Well he said shot in the, Dark and that's Why
i'm gonna Go self Of. Midnight i'm gonna stay in
that darkness And i'm gonna take. THAT i feel, like you,
know had some people digging, it it didn't really get
much other. Places maybe they'll give it some love. HERE
i have no idea what it is actually doing. Accessibility
hopefully all these five games are doing some great stuff
and that does help.
Speaker 2: It but that's Where i'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Go, okay, Uh, taylor do you have a pick?
Speaker 4: Yet i'm not gonna go With Assassin's creed BECAUSE i don't.
KNOW i don't really know what they would have done
with accessibility in there, Necessarily So. DOOM i, mean, Yeah
i've Played, doom But i'm not sure what they would
have done with.
Speaker 1: That in terms of did you Play Dark? AGES i?
Speaker 4: Did, Yeah, Okay i'll just Go i'll be boring and copy, You.
TRAVIS i Go south Of.
Speaker 2: Midnight oh.
Speaker 1: OKAY i remembered something About, doom which is that you
can change the game speed so like just everything happens
significantly slower or, faster WHICH i actually did use that
setting BECAUSE i was getting fucking destroyed in that, game
as is evidenced here on side quest from me And
trevis talked about the. Game so you know, What i'm
gonna Go. Doom i'll say that setting saved the day for,
me and maybe it's saved the day for other. People
So i'll go With. Doom The Dark ages here on this.
Speaker 2: One, Okay.
Speaker 1: Okay next up is games For. Impact we Have Consume, Me,
Despilote Lost, Records bloom And, Rage south Of midnight In Wonder.
Stop really another tricky category for me. HERE i, MEAN
i think the biggest most popular game on this list
would Be south Of, midnight but even that was not extremely.
Popular uh, HMM i Think i'll go With Consume me.
Here i've heard a lot of good things about this.
One certainly a niche, title BUT i kind of feel,
LIKE i Guess Lost records In south Of mine aren't that,
niche BUT i just don't know if they are THE
i don't. Know it's kind of a shot in the.
Dark But i'm just gonna Go Consume me on this.
Speaker 5: One i'm gonna go With Lost, Record, okay just a,
vibe just a, feeling you know. What i'll stick With Seltha,
midnight keep it on that.
Speaker 2: TRAIN i thought about. It, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Good picks all, around best. Ongoing, okay we Have Final fantasy,
Fourteen Fortnite, helldivers Two Marble, arrivals And No Man's. Sky
so uh, YEAH i think obviously The helldivers once jumps
out to all of us because the three of us
jumped into it this. Year, ongoing it was ported to
a new platform this, year got some NEW dlc, Updates
marvel rivals obviously getting all sorts of new. Content No Man,
SKY i GUESS i assume that got some BIG dlc this.
Year THAT i didn't hear anything About fortnite's Always fortniting
and also it's Final fantasy. FOURTEEN i, REMEMBER i don't
remember that guy in a BIG dealc this, year but
it must.
Speaker 2: Have, Hm How diverse came out this? Year?
Speaker 1: Right mm hmm On xbox but not on? PlayStation?
Speaker 4: Right is that what qualifies for Best Ongoing it has
to have RELEASED dlc within twenty twenty?
Speaker 3: Five, well, Yeah No Man's sky is like a ten
year old game.
Speaker 1: Now, taylor there is literally no limit on what the jury.
Picks they could pick literally any game they. Want they
could Pick Super Mario. Bros for THE nes for this
And Jeff keey would allow. You there's no.
Speaker 2: Rule well elside for our biggest game AND i.
Speaker 1: And apparently the jury gets the. Same the same description
awarded to a game for outstanding development of ongoing content
that evolves the player experience over. Time that is what
the jury has to say as, well like that's all
they get for. Him monikers though they have as much
information as us for picking these, things so it's extremely.
Speaker 3: Nebulous this one's tough because Like fortnite's always plugging, away,
right there's always, stuff AND i feel like the hype
levels go up and down Where i've seen the community be, like,
ah this is kind of, lame AND i seen the
community like this is. AMAZING i love these, characters, Right
SO i never know what that. One Marvel, RIVALS i
feel like in the past six months has finally started
to taper, off but it felt like for a while
they're really cooking there and just like update after, update
people or enjoying. It but because it has tapered, off
has maybe people like the voting tapered Off Hell. Divers
that's WHY i was, asking because, YEAH i guess it
came out this year In. Xbox but still they get some.
Juice they are always just putting new stuff in there
and events and, everything which boys gonna get back into
soon here BECAUSE i do miss killing some.
Speaker 2: Bugs hopefully we can drop, soon But.
Speaker 3: I'll maybe it's just a heart, pick But i'm gonna
go with Heart Hell divers. Too i'm gonna say that
the push With xbox kind of helps it have a
full on second life in a, way, Right BUT i
wouldn't be surprised by the other. Ones No MAN'S i
just feel like it's the we gotta put this on
here every year because there's always something new And Final fantasy,
OBVIOUSLY i don't know the update Like dylan was saying as,
well but just a big community with those. Games so,
yeah But i'm gonna Go Hell divers. TOO i think
that's gonna take the cake.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: TAYLOR i feel like you're probably gonna go the same
way IF i had GUESS.
Speaker 4: I wanted, To BUT i Think i'm gonna Do No
Man's sky to be. Honest, Wow, OKAY i think like,
again you kind of clarify it in terms of what
the STANDARD i. CLARIFY i feel like if anything probably,
unclarified you, clarified and this is what the standard kind of.
Is when it comes to, VOTING i guess the format.
Speaker 1: Is vibes it's and nothing.
Speaker 4: Else, yeah SO i, think at least from my vibes
WHEN i look at What nomnsky was originally and then
WHEN i see it as now AND i probably only
get little updates and stuff BECAUSE i follow a couple
of the pages For Perenomens, guy AND i JUST i
keep seeing like a growing community and just the amount
of change that they've done to this game since it
first released is just absolutely blowing my. Mind SO i
feel like terms of best, ongoing it's definitely got.
Speaker 1: It But helldiver's was my heart.
Speaker 4: Pick but then my thought of an easy win would
have Been, fortnite BECAUSE i feel Like fortnite's JUST i,
mean they just did The simpsons update recently and that's
a huge.
Speaker 1: Hit like, yeah, yeah speaking of, Easy i'm gonna go With.
Fortnite it's. BORING i THINK i picked this every, year
and half the time it, wins so that's. Fine AND
i feel like Because fortnite had some LIKE i don't
of controversy is the right, word but just this, week
people have been kind of salty them because they're like
or like THE ceo is, like, YEAH ai are in Oh,
Fortnite we're all for. It BUT i feel, like you,
know they people voted long before. THAT i guess the,
jury like the, public the ten percent of the vote
that has not yet been, tabulated But i'm gonna go
With fortnite because it's just It's fortnite and it just
could win. Anything, yeah, alrighty next up is Best Community,
support looking very, similar but we's got we got Balders
gate three in, Here Final fantasy, Fourteen Fortnite Held evers,
two And No Man's. Sky so the surprise here for
me Is Balder's gate BECAUSE i don't really remember there
being a whole lot of much going on in that
game this. YEAR i think there's been like more mod.
Support maybe there's been a couple of small, updates but
it didn't get like a big dealc by any means
like these other games, hot other games Have i'm gonna go.
With i'm just gonna go With fortnite. Again i'm, boring
but just. Going it's a numbers, game you. Know i'm
going For. Fortnite, oh this, thing we'll keep.
Speaker 2: It Hell, divers we'll keep keep on that, Training.
Speaker 1: Okay opportunity for us to get we'll split.
Speaker 4: Here No Man's sky sticking with it.
Speaker 1: There we all have our hobby horses.
Speaker 3: Here that could work, though for somebody to get those two,
right that's a nice two pointer lead right. There so
maybe those comments you, know people get mad about THE,
ai even though in five years everything's gonna BE, ai,
sadly but you know it's.
Speaker 1: True, well you know, what maybe not in indie, games
because that's where.
Speaker 2: Yes support let's talk about.
Speaker 1: Film indie games were outstanding creative and technical achievement in
a game made outside the traditional public publisher, system whatever
that means to. You absolute Ball Pit, Blueprints Claire, obscure
thirty Three haities two And hall Of Night Silk. Song.
Yeah SO i think for a lot of people they
feel kind of weird About Clari obscure being in here because,
well it doesn't really smell like an indie, game, right
and it does have a, publisher and it was, like you,
know it's in game pass and they probably got a
Big xbox. Bag SO i DON'T i don't know what
an indie game is. ANYMORE i don't think anyone really.
Does Clayerbes here doesn't feel like, that but, like you,
know it was made outside the traditional publisher system according
to The Game, awards uh, jury so it's it's eligible
in that.
Speaker 2: Way.
Speaker 1: Uh tricky, here, right because usually there's like maybe one
indie game in The game of The year contender and
then it's, like, oh, well that obviously gonna Win Best
Indie game. Then but in this, Case, Claarib, Scary Just,
do And silksong are all In game of The year
contenders and are down here in indie. Games SO i
think it's got to be one of those three just
raw numbers, wise And i'm just gonna go With Clariub
sciar even if it doesn't feel. RIGHT i think it's, just,
uh people are gonna people are gonna vote for.
Speaker 3: IT i think sometimes what feels wrong feels so right,
domus and that's Why i'm gonna go with thirty three as.
WELL i think it's just one of those we talk,
about like you've made that point as, well that lots
of times when some of these categories which will come
up when it's just all these games and then a
game in the year in nomens like well that's the.
Speaker 2: One there are three in. Here BUT i just think
even though it Is xbox somewhat.
Speaker 3: Supported it it fits the, guidelines AND i think if
there's people that don't really care about that, stuff it's
is WHY i love this.
Speaker 2: Game we gotta vote for. That there you, go so.
Speaker 4: Mm, Hmm, YEAH i think my vote's gonna Go expedition thirty.
Speaker 1: Three, okay we'll see if that is the same For
Best Debut, indie which has blueprints Clarib, Skier expedition three, Three,
dispilote And. Dispatch so, this this category only has four
because one of the games in here Was megabonk and
the developer was, like, hey this isn't really my first,
game SO i probably shouldn't be in this, category and
they're like, okay and they just pull them out of the.
Category so that's why there's only. Four but you, know
that's always the tricky, thing, debut you, know best debut
game created by a new independent, Studio like, yeah Clarub
skier is a new, studio even though those developers have
made games for you, know twenty years or, whatever like their.
Veterans so it's it's a it's a weird, description but
it's just the best we got. HERE i find it
funny here that it says like Clari obskier made By
Central interactive with their, Publisher Kepler, Interactive so it's, like,
okay so they have a, publisher but they're still an indie.
Game LIKE i don't, KNOW i don't know what's going on,
Here but, Again i'm going climbs on this.
Speaker 2: ONE i am.
Speaker 3: TWO i would be pulling For. Dispatch i've heard some
good things About. DISPATCH i like it on the arts,
side looks, cool so it might big. GAME i might
try to dip the toes in at some, point but,
YEAH i, MEAN i Go claire, obscure AND I i
wonder by the night of all our predictions for thirty
three are correct by timing it to direction and game the.
Speaker 2: Year if people.
Speaker 3: They're, LIKE i feel like you're gonna lose on some
of that, hootspull like the, cheering because it's gonna yeah this,
again this, again, right like obviously some of These jeff goes,
aside like and here's five. Awards i'm gonna list off very, quickly,
Right BUT i wonder what the vibe is gonna, be
like if it is just winning again and, again or
if people are just hype because they like the. Game but,
Yeah i'm gonna go with thirty three as.
Speaker 4: Well mm, hmmm, Yeah i'm going with thirty.
Speaker 1: Three, Okay so no differentiation is gonna happen on those
two categories for, us which USUALLY i feel like we
do separate On, india so that's. Different, yeah all, Right
Best mobile, Game Destiny, Rising persona, Five The PHANTOM, X Sonic,
Rumble Uma, Musam Pretty, derby And Wuthering. Waves oh, Boy I've.
Travis even though we like quickly looked at this list
like a few weeks, AGO i already don't feel Like
i've ever heard Of Sonic rumble in my life Or persona.
Five the PHANTOMS i don't KNOW i. DID i probably
said this three weeks ago And i'm already. Forgetting BUT I.
Speaker 3: I feel like this is more LIKE i don't know
much about, esports BUT i feel, like if you're a
list something off in, esports But i've heard of that
team or heard that. Player mobile games even below. That for,
me were all these games you could do a trivia on,
THIS i wouldn't be able to name any of. Them
i'm just gonna Say persona five BECAUSE i know it
has a big fan. BASE i know nothing about these
games is a shot in the. Dark but, YEAH i
didn't know any of this. Existed so good for these.
Devs so again these, uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah these.
Speaker 2: Nominations i'll go with U Ume.
Speaker 1: Moosamhir it's the Game i've heard the most. About i've
heard of, it like just people playing it On steam
and Like steam deck and. Stuff SO i don't know
IF i guess game played on a mobile, device does
that count A steam? Deck not really, right that has
to be a. Guess once, again Game wards doesn't. Care
they justly balance out, there let people pick whatever they.
Want But i'm just gonna go With Umu moose make
because it's the One i've heard the most. About, uh
the weathering. Waves that's from like the people who do
bench an, impact so it's like their next, Game so you, know.
POPULAR i could be wrong with. THAT i think that's
the case, Though so you know popular, THING i don't even.
Know i'm just gonna go with that. Though And, taylor
he may have fall. Asleep he is recording in a,
bed which is dangerous for a guy who is frequently
tired on. Podcasts so he's just gone into the. World
so we'll get his boat when here he.
Speaker 2: Is he woke, up he woke, up he's. Back, oh
he's chomping. Away look at. Him he needs a quick
little sugar to. Go, yeah what do you?
Speaker 1: Guys, well we threw to you and it was an empty,
room but you sleep in that bed you're sitting. In
i'm not gonna.
Speaker 2: LIE i lay down thinking it was.
Speaker 1: NICE i saw those. EYES i saw those.
Speaker 2: Bad, Idea, taylor he's falling. Asleep standing and answer your,
Question dylan's, question what are you eating over?
Speaker 4: There?
Speaker 1: Oh you ever had those of the clerk chocolate? Cookies,
Oh jesse.
Speaker 2: COOKIES i take. It we're not going to the gym.
Tonight we, ARE i got.
Speaker 3: IT i told Him strict died nothing but nutrients and
protein after eight and here we are at eight fifty,
four and he's.
Speaker 1: That sounds that's as generic as A Game awards. Description,
okay you can have nothing but nutrients with the.
Speaker 3: Anthing that's anything that's like workout, way, uh vegetables and uh,
fruit that type of stuff like that's the type of,
stuff the good nutrients.
Speaker 2: Chocolate, okay this, guy what do you? Picking? Taylor?
Speaker 4: Uh you, know bestball, Game Sonic, rumble nice split.
Speaker 1: AGAIN i love that so much? Confidence all? Right uh my,
GOD i can't spell. Anymore VR ar is next, up
and the contenders Are, Alien, Rogue, Incursion arc And age Ghost.
TOWN i don't know what ghost sound, is BUT i
like the art for. THAT i want to check DEADPOOLS
vr And Midnight Walk so for, me this is interesting
BECAUSE i feel Like DEADPOOL vr is by far the
most like well known game, here but it's also the
One i've just heard terrible reviews of. It but the
fact that is it like one of the five was
is it one of the ONLY vr games people played this?
Year so they just put it in there. ANYWAY i don't.
Speaker 3: Know, NO i think you're right BECAUSE i Think i'm
the same as, you And i've heard, nothing not like
like worst, game BUT i just don't heard good things about.
Speaker 2: It SO.
Speaker 1: I want you guys to go.
Speaker 2: First oh what the on THE vr?
Speaker 1: One Oh, Man Alien Rogue.
Speaker 4: Incursion i've been watching videos of, it and there's a
lot of really funny funny Things i've seen with that,
game but it looks like it's a dang good. Time
So i'm just again my biased in this is coming.
Speaker 2: Out, okay you need to go for Ghost.
Speaker 1: Town oh, Shit, OKAY i was hoping you guys would
pick the same one AND i could just copy you
in that. Way there's like no chance for me to
lose a boat. Here i'm gonna go with The Midnight walk.
Speaker 2: Out there you go another.
Speaker 1: Split we're going our different directions. Here does it all
look like creepy spooky? Games that's Pretty, yeah this is
almost like that's a borer game category arc and. AGE
i don't know what that is, either BUT i, Like
i'm liking the art. Here i'm liking the art all. Right,
uh we already did best, art but let's do best action.
Here we Have battlefield, Six, Doom The Dark, Ages eighties,
Two ninja guid and four It, Shanobi The art Of.
Vengeance so this is for the best game in the
action genre primarily focused on. Combat uh, wow, tricky, tricky.
TRICKY i Think i'm gonna be the boring math guy.
Here i'm gonna go With hades two because it's in
The game of The year Contender eighties.
Speaker 2: Two, Baby that's WHERE i am as well.
Speaker 1: Too i'm doing, either SO i feel like it's got
to win, something.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah i'm gonna Do battlefield. Six some of the
combat Stuff i've seen and pit experience is, crazy, Crazy.
Speaker 1: TAYLOR i downloaded that like free week whatever thing they,
had AND i went to go boot it up and
then it was, like, oh you have to log in
with YOUR ea, account close that ship and never opened it.
Up i'm not doing.
Speaker 2: THAT i GUESS.
Speaker 1: I THINK i know my, password all, right best action
adventure for the best action venture game combining combat with
traversal and puzzle solving for the big. Distinction, there we
have Got Desk stranding two on that beach goes To yo,
Tie Silk, Song Indiana jones And The Great Circle makings
in its first appearance other Than Troy baker and Split.
Fiction so, yeah, again if we're looking at that rule of,
like is it in game of the year that wins?
This you, Know Desk randy two's, There Silk songs. There
you could go with a last year pick Of Indiana,
jones But fiction is that gonna win anything this? Year
even though it's last game That studio's last game one
game of the year last time and goes to tie
sneaking there as. Well so this is a tricky one for.
Me I'M i haven't gone first in a, bit so
MAYBE i should just pick mine. HERE i am kind
of combining combat with reversal puzzle. Solving ah, Man i'm
really between these are all like equal. Chance in my,
Mind i'm gonna go With Silk, song THOUGH i feel
Like Silk. Song it'd be weird if it didn't win,
anything AND i don't think i've picked it. Yet and
this feels like a good spot for me because traversal
is a big deal in that kind of. Game combat
is huge in that. Game the only thing maybe doesn't
have his puzzle. SOLVING i think it's kind of combined
with the traversal in that. Game But i'll go With
i'll go With Silk song, here but not feeling super
confident on that.
Speaker 3: Pick Oh i'm feeling very confident on my, pick which
is Also Silk, song So i'll bring the.
Speaker 2: Confident.
Speaker 3: Yeah, NO i JUST i think that's, stranding doesn't have
the action, parts more, actiony but it doesn't have that
goes to the.
Speaker 2: OTIE i just FEEL i did that first one win go,
like did ghost You? Shooma wouldn't? THAT i feel like it.
Did Maybe i'm. WRONG i don't, know BUT i don't.
KNOW i don't. KNOW i feel like it just again
who before a couple of, weeks there's The.
Speaker 1: Last Of, us so it probably lost The lost Of?
Speaker 2: Us, Right oh, yeah there you? Go so uh and
he Had.
Speaker 3: JONES i think it's older AND i think split fiction
might be the one RISK i have in there because
they like that to have people and maybe they'll throw
them some.
Speaker 2: There but, Yeah i'm gonna Go awa haul.
Speaker 1: Night CAN i also sorry just to complain again more
ABOUT Ea Split fiction the other. DAY i, Mean jessica is,
like he JUST i want to Beat Split fiction more
the end of the. Year you want to play some,
online she, said, Yes SO i boot up my. SWITCH
i have to connect my FUCKING ea account and this
Time i'm, like, Okay i'll connect My i'll figure out

someone On reddit it, said you have to plug a
FUCKING usb keyboard into your switch doc in order to
type in this. THING i did that and it didn't,
work SO i JUST i don't. KNOW i think the
game is just bugged. On switch to. It you just
can't play, online so.
Speaker 2: Great Fuck.
Speaker 1: Ea that's that's my two cents. Here IF i have
to log into another freaking service player, Game i'm probably
not gonna play your. Game so uh, anyway uh complaining Over,
taylor what's your?

Wolves Mortal Kombat Legacy, collection And virtual A fighter Five
Revo World. STAGE i can go first again. HERE i
don't feel like this year has a runaway fighting game
winner like we've had for a couple of. YEARS i
feel like they'd like Tech in and Like Street fighter.
Six so was one just kind of walked away with
the award this? YEAR i don't think that is the.
Case i'm gonna go with TWO. Xko it's kind of
big and, trendy so, Yeah i'm gonna go with two X.
Speaker 3: KO i think you sold me there BECAUSE i Picked Mortal.
KOMBAT i think multiple times this category and always screws,
me So i'm never picking there. AGAIN i Think i'm
staying away from the collections as well, too BECAUSE i
feel like people keep those. Hard, YEAH i think they
give them must. Love so, Yeah i'll go with the
KX ko.
Speaker 2: There SO.
Speaker 4: I am gonna Go Mortal kombat BECAUSE i think this
is the year it's gonna finally break free and do.
Speaker 1: It, yeah because it it came out the same year
As Street fighter, six, right like the.
Speaker 3: Yeah one, Yeah AND i was just so confident it's
not gonna it was gonna pick up the W en,
Didn't so that's cursed me.
Speaker 2: Forever it's cursed you.
Speaker 1: Forever, okay moving along then to the best family game we.
Have so this is for the, best the best game
appropriate for family, play irrespective of genre. Platform like that
they have to, say irrespective of a, platform just be,
like it doesn't have to Be, nintendo, guys you Can Vo.
Brother we Got Donkey Kong, Bananza Lego, Party Lego, Voyagers
Mario Kart, World Sonic, Racing, crossworlds And Split. FICTION i
love that there's two cart racers in, here Two lego,
games Two nintendo. Games there's a lot of a lot
of two is going. On And Split fiction is a
game of about two characters in separate. WORLDS i feel,
like Again i'm gonna be. BORING i gonna go Don
Kong bananza because it's In game of The. YEAR i
do think it's a weird one in this because it's
like it technically has co. Op the co OP i
don't think anyone wants to play. THAT i think it
is like a game people play on their. Own but,
YEAH i feel like this is just because It's. Nintendo
it makes it here on everyone's. List Mario Kart world
people like, it but like it's not their. Favorite Mario
kart people still, like probably think it's a better, game and, so,
YEAH i don't. KNOW i THINK i Think. BONANZA i
would not be surprised if something else took, it like
A Split fiction Or Mario. Kart But i'm just gonna
go with A bonanza, here AND i would like to see.
IT i Think bonanza should. Win something that would be
cool to.
Speaker 3: See, Yeah bonanza for me all, day other than a
couple weeks when we talked about, it That astro got.
Speaker 2: The win there and off they want to win On
game of The year usually.
Speaker 3: If you look at the past winners this, category It's Nintendo,
city you. Know, so AND i think it's going to
go back To New Donk.
Speaker 2: City ooh nice, One.
Speaker 5: Bonanza, Yeah i'll ride that.
Speaker 4: High let's GET dk in, there.
Speaker 1: Get high on our. Supply Eh, okay we have best same.
Strategy Final fantasy tactics that evil these CHRONICLES D World evolution,
three Sid Meyer's civilization, Seven Tempest, rising The altar's two point. Museums, So,
taylor what are you thinking? HERE i feel like this
is a this is your. Pocket you like strategy. Games
what's going on?
Speaker 2: HERE i?
Speaker 4: Do and as much AS i would love to Vote
dress The World evolution three and as beautiful as a
game it, IS i don't think it's going to get.
IT i think what's going to take the cake here is.
WELL i felt confident About, sieve But i've heard some people, say, like,
yeah it's, okay they've played better iterations in the. Past,
hmm but you know, what why Not let's go With.
Speaker 3: Civilization what WAS i forgot was the reason why you
haven't picked up The evolution?
Speaker 2: There just that praise right. There all beautiful, game but
you don't have it.
Speaker 5: Yet.
Speaker 4: Right so the first TWO i can't even recall how
quickly they went on sale from full, price like way too.
Quick So i'm in no rush to snag this phone
onto a discount that's.
Speaker 3: Fair i'm going to Join tay on THE Siev Bam
wing AND i just don't think any of these are
jump DOWN i mean a big time, honestly not a
a genre That i'm keeping my eyes close on as of, late,
so But i'm just gonna go the more populous.
Speaker 1: Pick so, YEAH i think this is one, that, like you,
know for the people who specialize in the, genre there's probably,
there's without a, doubt a better answer Than civilization seven this.
Year BUT i THINK civ seven is one that grabs
people from all sorts of different genres in. Spaces it
just like has that casual, appeal and SO i think
in that, way it's like just gonna be on every outlets.
Ballot So i'm gonna go WITH siv. Seven go check it.
OUT i did a, big long review episode of that
one when it came. OUT i haven't played it since
because it's a very buggy. Game but, no it's a cool.
GAME i like. It it's just very. Buggy, okay we
have the best sports RACING E SPORTS fc twenty, SIX
f one twenty, Five Marker World, rematch And Sonic Racing.
Crossworlds this is. TRICKY i don't know if you still
have stats pulled, Up. Travis i'm curious to see how
MUCH Ea sports wins this.
Speaker 2: Or you can see if they can fine man.
Speaker 1: Fingers because, YEAH i feel like sometimes there's like a
a just a really popular game in this. SERIES i
Like marto Kartt. WORLD i might just take it because you,
know once again popularity. Contest that is the Game awards.
REMATCH i feel like didn't quite have the mass appeal
that it maybe could have had that the developers last game.
Speaker 2: Did but, no this is like AN ai. Answer it's
looking like it, said uh nine nine nine.
Speaker 1: Wins you, ask like how many times it's won nine?
Times but this is the.
Speaker 3: Thing he has one significant number of sport game, awards
though the exact total is difficult to quantify as it
depends on the specific awards and years being. Counted for,
EXAMPLE Fifa franchise alone Won Best Sports Game Dice, award
and oh that's Dice i'm trying to.
Speaker 1: Find i'm gonna go With Mario. Kart i'm getting bad from.
Speaker 2: That, Yeah i'm going the car.
Speaker 3: TOO i just, think like you, SAID i don't think
any of the other just like kind of regular sports
games are really standing out this.
Speaker 2: Year Mario kart's, there not winning in anything.
Speaker 4: Else so uh, yeah oh we're Going mario in this
cart for.
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah we're gonna do Another Mario kart Night. Boys
we haven't played.
Speaker 2: That, yeah it's been be wenting for some of NEW,
dlc but you, KNOW i don't know if that's happening
going dry well over. There so.
Speaker 1: Best multiplayer we Have Arc, Raiders battlefield, six Elden, Ring
Night Rain, peak And Split. Fiction, wow really different kind of.
Things your first person sugar competitive, thing Eldon ring Multiplayer,
peak which is like the Friend friend goofy, Game Split
fiction just that straight up cold. Experience And Art. RAIDERS
i don't even really know how to Describe Our raiders, Yet,
taylor have you picked that one up? Yet you said
you were playing right or oh, Yeah i've been playing
at every Chance i'm trying to sell me on it
during that.
Speaker 4: Game oh, yeah that game is fantastic and it's definitely
my voter for best. Multiplayer the game is, fantastic it's
A PvP ve and the community on there is just.
HILARIOUS i think IT'S i found this kind of theme
here where console players they won't betray, you you, know
you kind of like you bump into them in the
map and like they you, like don't, shoot don't, shoot
and uh they'll you, know they'll back. Off but THEN pc,
players you don't trust FUCKING pc players, there they'll they'll
stab you in the, back they'll come after. You but
it's such a damn good. Time it really. Is And
i've i it can bring out the worst in, people
or can bring out like the best in. People i've
seen these things where people they'll they'll drop a gun
for a guy and give the gun to this, player
and the player will pick up the gun and turn
on the person and try and kill. Them i've been
caught myself WHERE i was sneaking up behind the guy
AND i was going to execute, him and he turned
around AND i was two feet away from, him AND.
Speaker 1: I threw up that don't, shoot don't shoot.
Speaker 4: A mode and THEN i JUST i feel like a
piece of. Shit BUT i it's so much, Fun SO
i hope it wins.
Speaker 3: This, YEAH i Think i'm gonna agree with that. TOO
i think that has the most heat of. Anything maybe
he gets split fiction, there BUT i just feel LIKE
i SAW i know there's a lot of meming communities
of certain podcasters like trying to do campaigns to get our,
raiders like to be like a game of the. YEAR
I we'll like to actually get it. There but, YEAH
i THINK i agree that it's gonna go that.
Speaker 1: Route i'll go a different. Road i'm gonna split the
fiction on this. One i'm GONNA i don't split. FICTION
i feel like because the word co op is in
like the one line descriptor of what the jury has to,
PICK i just feel like that's gonna be on every.
BALLOT i think it's the highest Rated metacritic game out
of this, list and, YEAH i feel like everyone's gonna
have a spot for it on their. List not, everyone
maybe will have An Our Graders Our greatest is tricky
just because it is so, recent like it either has
recency bias on its side or some people are, LIKE
i don't, KNOW i didn't enough time because it came.
Out when did It do you remember when it came, Out?
Taylor did it come out In october or was it Early?
November that's a good. QUESTION i don't, know, because, yeah
the cutoff for people to get their things in is
like Mid november or, something so it might just be
like too, hot you, know like Maybe. October, okay SO
i guess they would have had a couple of weeks
probably with. It BUT i don't. Know i'm still sticking
with split fiction. Here it's, risky But i'll go with.
IT i feel Like battlefield six has a chance of
that one. Too, actually all, right best? Adaptation we have
A minecraft, movie Got Devil May, cry we Got Splinter,
cell Death, watch we have The last Of us season,
two and we have Until Dawn. Taylor what is the
best adaptation of.
Speaker 4: Put that evil on?
Speaker 2: Me Ricky.
Speaker 4: BOBBY i Think i'm gonna Go last OF a season?
Speaker 1: Two do?
Speaker 2: You? Okay is this also voted the same? Way?
Speaker 3: Right it's not vote by anything. Else that's by us
and the game journalists and.
Speaker 2: Everything?
Speaker 3: Right what do you mean by, us like the like
the people the ten percent vote right and everything.
Speaker 1: That's?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah the same. Ballot, yeah there are certain categories, that,
like you, know like if an outlet's LIKE i don't
really play sports, games they can like not vote on
a certain. Category, yeah BUT i imagine everyone has the
chance to vote.
Speaker 2: On, okay if it was voting, wise then it's.
Speaker 3: FINE i just wasn't sure if they Wanted Jack black on.
STAGE i feel, like you, know he gets some excitement.
There but, Yeah i'm gonna Say last Of us. TOO
i think that's by. FAR i think we all had
some issues with season.
Speaker 2: Two but for these.
Speaker 3: ADAPTATIONS i can't speak On domacrat Or splinter, itself but, Uh,
minecraft you can check out our review that's gonna be
dropping next week for the public and hear my very
negative thoughts on that. Movie And Until dawn ALSO i
was very negative on as. Well SO i think, THIS
i said this last couple weeks, ago this category EITHER
i Should it may not go, away but it should
drop the.
Speaker 2: Three and make it strong BECAUSE i think we're really
just stretching. Here but, yeah last of season.
Speaker 1: Two, YEAH i, Mean telu has been known to a
crew a ton of, Awards so you know, WHAT I
i'll go with you guys, here And i'll Go teelu
for my my pick as. WELL i feel like it
is kind of Between teelu And, minecraft just because, yeah
there's so a few things that came out this, year
and everyone's just gonna put those in by, default even
if they didn't love, THEM i. Think but what DO i?
KNOW i didn't, vote all, right we got most anticipated.
Game we Have Double oh, Seven First, Light Grand, Theft auto, Six,
Wolverine Resident, Evil, requiem And The. Witcher my, god what
number is that is?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 1: Four? Four my brain just like totally what Is roman
Der WILLGAN i. DON'T i Think i'm gonna go with
a little little game in the name Of Grand Theft auto. Six.
YEAH i heard it's like the newest any game NOW
i heard about.
Speaker 2: It, yeah uh.
Speaker 3: YEAH i think it's gonna every year that it's for
this is gonna take.
Speaker 1: It so was it eligible last year or everything is?
Eligible did it win last?
Speaker 2: YEAR i thought it won last? Year, yeah BECAUSE i
had that, date.
Speaker 1: Remember so, yeah like last year for most Anticipated.
Speaker 4: Yeah, see it just keeps winning awards as long as
it just keeps shifting in that.
Speaker 2: Can get they can get that most wins ever new.
Speaker 4: Record, sorry, Yeah, Taylor oh my, god grants ups.
Speaker 1: That oh, oh just want to make sure there you.
Go there are all of the. Categories there's of course
some esports. Ones i'll quickly shout out content created the
year moist. CRITICAL i watched that guy's YouTube videos like
probably fifteen years ago before he like ever revealed his
face on his YouTube channel funny As videos back in the.
DAY i haven't kept up with him by any, means
but it's cool to see him go from tiny little
YouTuber making goofy ass videos and like draw something or
whatever to make to be like a huge content creator
of the, year, so you, know shouts to.
Speaker 3: Him and took off his his. Monetization he, said he's
made so much, money doesn't need. Anymore, so you know,
what get on.
Speaker 1: Him he seems like a cool. Guy but you know,
what a lot of people on the internet are, weird
So i'm not Gonna i'm not gonna praise. Him you,
know he might be. Weird i'm not. Sure, okay there
are all the. Categories, yeah we have quite a few
categories where we all pick the same, thing but we
also really split the vote on a bunch of different.
Things SO i think there's a lot of potential here
for us to go all sorts of. Ways so we'll
keep up with. That Maybe I'll i'll Ask kirkland if
he wants, to you, know submit votes then he can
like be in on the race as we're watching that
on the. Night but we'll see if he wants to do.
That but let's let's talk about, well let's first hear
a few quick. Ads we'll be right. Back, okay we are. Back,
yeah let's talk about announcements now at the. SHOW i
have kind of two That i'm ready to, make and
then there's some other like just quick. Hits i'll, say
BUT i don't, know does anyone want to go first
as they don't have like a spice see prediction they
want to make for an announcement that might happen.
Speaker 3: Here, uh okay for my spicy one because my other one's.
Boring SO i didn't know IF i wanted to lead with.
That that's just Because i've revealed it in the name,
there Half light three? Done what's gonna be?
Speaker 2: Happening you'll be sin There thursday.
Speaker 3: Night you'll be, like, oh enjoy your, night and then
someone's gonna pop on your screen, like, Man i'll trause
the pizza now Because Half light three gonna be confirmed Next.
Thursday BECAUSE i don't know, here because here's my. Pitch
what is the big because usually every either's something that's.
Speaker 2: Kind of, waiting, right like what's it gonna?
Speaker 3: Be or there's something where even if we don't know
for sure if it's gonna be that Like Resident?
Speaker 2: Evil? Right last year was?
Speaker 3: It that Was Summer Games fest for The Last Game
awards That keeley ended the show with, THAT i CAN'T
i think It Summer Games, fest.
Speaker 1: Right, jeezus.
Speaker 2: WEIRD i think The Summer Game It's, Fest i'm pretty.
Speaker 3: Sure but either, way that was one where it was
it was feasible that, happened but we didn't know for
sure that was gonna be the, game. RIGHT i don't
know what that is this year for The Game, wards
and it feels like The Game. Awards if he, is
he's still always making sure That Summer Games fest starts
off with a big. Bang but you can definitely tell
that if there's something, bigger he's gonna.
Speaker 2: Pocket it For Game, awards.
Speaker 3: Right for most of the, time unless the release dates
just around the corner of, fall it's gonna Be Game.
Awards and this is, like maybe this was poisoning you guys.
Predictions they don't have to answer right. Now BUT i
just don't know what that. IS i don't think it's
OFFIC Gta. WOLVERINE i guess you could see a little bit,
more but that wasn't. That that's not a big thinging
ame more in, it right because they did the first
big reveal a couple months. AGO i don't know if
there's anything Like nintendo that has like that big. HOODSPA
i don't think PlayStation.
Speaker 2: They might have.
Speaker 3: SOMETHING i know they keep teasing this fucking statue in the,
desert no, One, no we just know it's not got
a war and apparently is that a PlayStation thing, Though,
no that's just like, NO i was just saying these
big announcements as far as.
Speaker 1: Like what what do you guys think that?
Speaker 2: Is?
Speaker 1: Taylor did you see the statue this desert statue?
Speaker 3: Thing go the discord of the Game Video games. Channeled
people are trying to speculate what this. Thing it's not
got Of war related and it's Not diabo for WHICH
i never. THOUGHT i don't know WHO i thought it Was.
Diabolo it's like.
Speaker 1: It just looks like A diablo.
Speaker 2: Thing but then three just coming like the last two, years.
Speaker 1: Right four came, out they're talking ABOUT deeb BEFORE Dlc.
Speaker 3: Oh, okay that makes, sense, okay BUT i just don't
know what that. Is SO i feel like If jeff
Had Half life three sit on the back, burner that's
more like the front, burner but still.
Speaker 4: Be Elder scrolls reminds me of like An Oblivion.
Speaker 1: Gaate it's definitely definitely not coming out. Soon it's not
There's Elder scroll.
Speaker 4: SIX i, mean it's been a long, time maybe you
could get some kind of final an update on.
Speaker 3: That, fine the final utdate This. December, no not a
shot to. Him, sorry you can make that your. Prediction
But Half life three that's something that you could end
the conference. With that pairs with The Steam.
Speaker 2: Machine.
Speaker 3: Uh you know, Again i'm trying to putting my faith
in good video, games. Scoopers i've been saying this thing
is cooking, in is.
Speaker 2: Happening i'll.
Speaker 3: See my bet With dylan is that it has to
come out by twenty twenty Sixth december.
Speaker 2: Thirty, first So i'm saying it right. Here it's gonna.
Speaker 3: It didn't happen on the two, anniversaries didn't, happen they
did The Steam. Machine what a better way to take
over the video game wars and announce this and then
they can still be, like oh and if you want that,
machine that's coming along with it. Too so that's my
my first, prediction which is not as spicy because obviously
was the.
Speaker 1: Name but, yeah, YEAH i think that's an interesting. ONE
i just don't know If Valve, steam if they care
about doing it at The Game, awards you, Know that's
that's the. ONE i don't, know potential thing against. It
but if if they can, have if they do want
the biggest stage for, IT i don't think they would
have to Pay jeff to get that ad spot right
like They he would just let them have that ship
and put it wherever they, want because he would absolutely want.
That SO i COULD i could see that. HAPPENING i, think,
yeah the rumors WHEN i took that bed with, YOU
i had not been on the internet, yet and, yeah you're,
right those rumors are extremely. Circling so it's seems like
it's gonna happen sooner or.
Speaker 3: Later SO i do you want to do my more
spicier one that's, like no one's predicting, nothing LIKE i
haven't seen a leak or anything like.
Speaker 1: That you just did. One we'll go around the, Horn
we'll come back to you Because i'll follow you up
here BECAUSE i. Not, okay here's. Me here's my very specific.
ONE i think you Know Todd howard Of, bethesday he's
been doing his. Rounds he's, like, OH i really liked
that shadow drop we did For. Oblivion that was. FUN i,
LIKE i like doing, that that was. Cool so what
my prediction here is the kind of a two PARTER
i think he's gonna pop up on stage and he
maybe he's doing an award or something like that that
leads into a. TRAILER i don't know what it. IS
i think he'll pop up on stage and, oh maybe
it's like maybe Like Troy baker wins and he's, like,
Oh Troy, BAKER i got this guy in his As,
jones he did such a good. Job then that's Like
i'm trying to think of like what would lead into this.
THING i think he'll come up AND i think he'll
have a Cheeky Todd howard ask joke saying, that, like you,
Know Elder, Scrolls, sorry we're not quite there, yet but
we'll have an announcement for you next. YEAR i think
he'll say something like. THAT i think he's gonna say,
like either stay tuned in Like january for The Xbox
developer direct or he'll just say like twenty twenty six
will have a new trailer for, you but here's something
to hold you. Over and THEN i think they shadow
drop the Next STARFIELD, dlc which and, yeah like you,
KNOW i think the perception is maybe that would be
the most type thing, ever but maybe the trailer for
it is sick as. Hell maybe it's really really. COOL
i don't think it's that, statue although maybe it could.
Be but that's my. Thing i'm you, Know i'm predicting
the starfield is A dlc shadow, drop like it's gonna
drop that day or like within that, week whatever it.
Is BUT i think the bigger part here IS i
Think Todd howard's gonna be on, stage AND i think
he's gonna tell you that in twenty twenty six is
specifically when you're gonna see older, scrolls like maybe not
gameplay or, anything but that's just when you're gonna get
something about. IT i think he'll just be very vague
about what it. Is, yeah that's my kind of, too
my two. Partner it is hopeful for sure as an
Elder scrolls fan who's just dehydrate over here looking for
some water in the desert. Here but maybe maybe we
can find it at the game. Wards that's What i'm hoping.
Speaker 2: For you listen To, taylor you're getting the final update.
Speaker 1: This uh we're Doing fallout.
Speaker 2: Five, yeah you know, What.
Speaker 3: Amazon really wants those shows and, Everything SO i think
two adenims with.
Speaker 2: THAT i think the other thing what he COULD i think.
Speaker 3: What he's more likely to throw, to WHICH i think
people still be more. Disappointed BUT i think is gonna
be a New fallout trailer because they are On amazon this,
year SO i feel like the synergy Of Todd Howard,
fallout you could get, both BUT i feel like The
fallout shows what happens and the only thing that's changed
in seven. ANNOUNCEMENT i think he's gonna say. UPDATE i
don't think he's gonna they would commit to the word
announcement because that feels too. Final but if you say,
announcement because literally the update could be him announcing you,
know an announcement or a trailer date or something like.
Speaker 1: That, yeah, yeah yeah for that.
Speaker 2: Part, yeah he'll say an update next, YEAR i think.
Speaker 1: UPDATE i definitely don't think we would see game play next.
YEAR i think they might just tell us like it's
in this, province which if you're an, eligible that's like
everything that gives, us like year's. Worth we can talk about. That,
YEAH i think it will be something pretty, minor but you're,
right he'll he'll use. It he'll choose his words very very.
Carefully if if any of this is, ACCURATE.
Speaker 2: I like, it. Though it's Time.
Speaker 1: Taylor do you have ANY u spicy or non spicy? Predictions?
Speaker 4: Oh you know, WHAT i think we're going to get A,
Uh you're gonna see a blue circle up here and
an orange one on the other side of the, stage
and Then kiley's gonna come through one of, them and
then it'll be like portal.
Speaker 1: Three whoa you think before half lif, three which is definitely.
RUMORED i absolutely think before half flight? Three?
Speaker 2: Wow, fine?
Speaker 1: Update, sorry explain that is he so he's going through
a portal as well through the, Portal so you're saying
they invented portal technology as well as specific. Announcement, damn
that sounds like a CHAT gpt. Level all, right what
was your what was your spicer?
Speaker 2: Here? YEAH i Actually spicer one ties in what we
talked about.
Speaker 3: Whatnot but you know, what a couple of years, ago
this man took a job and he, said you, know
for our, brand we're gonna be making. Movies from MAKING tv,
Shows we'll be making. Cartoons and he all, said in
this universe room been making video. GAMES i think you're
gonna see One James cornelia's gun up on.
Speaker 2: Stage we're talking about celebrities people could do.
Speaker 3: THERE i think that you will get a somewhat cinematic
because there is now After Wonder, woman NO dc games
cooking at. All we hear they're working on A batman,
thing but nothing. Cooking there is about six months ago
Of Lego. BATMAN i, guess of Course Lego.
Speaker 2: Batman, YEAH i guess they do have.
Speaker 3: That But i'm thinking on the bigger spectrum as far
as more of the connected stuff and a couple of
months and it was six months ago people showed he
like followed a bunch of different deads And whatnotson was, Like,
okay this is probably the circles he's working. WITH i
think it was people that were, like like worked on
this and now are this company like one of those
type of.
Speaker 1: Things like people not like?
Speaker 3: Companies, yes, sorry sorry, People i'm, SURE i sure a,
developers not Just.
Speaker 2: Dez BUT i think.
Speaker 3: What we could though yet is something similar to That
Wonder woman teaser we got years ago of the canceled.
Game but WHY i think they could do that is
because they've talked about games being. Connected what could make
it more hype is you get that and it's A
superman one and you can easily Have dave in courts
what in the booth that's recorded a line or, two
and that makes it feel more, real more tangent.
Speaker 2: If you look into what they've been. Doing we Got.
Speaker 3: Superman this, Year supergirls next, year and Then superman two
twenty twenty. Seven that's onely situation where we talk About,
Nintendo we're, like oh, man every time they Released Don
kong Or mario the, movie like the game's never around for.
Speaker 4: It.
Speaker 3: Right, luckily WITH, dc they're just doing nothing But superman
related stuff right. Now and the good thing is with
The SUPERMAN i can't Remember taylor when the credits, happen
but they, say, LIKE i can't, remember but he's Been
superman for like a number of, years, right so you
can easily put In, yeah you can easily put in
some game in year, two year three where he's doing other.
Stuff maybe that's how could be. FUN i was, like
that's how they Do The origin Of superman is like
a video. GAME i don't think would be a, sequel
but AND i could be wrong on The superman. THING
i just think that'd be easy enough To, hey It's.
Superman we can easy because they've said everyone that's in
the movies is gonna voice him in the, games you
Get david on the maybe hell Even. David that's actually
a good. Combo maybe you get them both up. There
maybe you Get gun And david Korn, sweat AND i
think he hit a celebrity ARE i Think James gunn
it would earned to do some good will because other
than like you, said like Go. Batman it's Like marvel
obviously has had a couple bumps in the road late with,
games but so they've had, Rivals they've Had Spider, man
they hopefully Got, blade they Got. Wolverine so it's, like you,
know you luckily Beat marvel this year in the Film,
spectrum try and make a little pond, here and you
don't see like we never Had Kem faggie come on
stage because he's nothing to do those, games, Right but
it's like that's the advantage That gun has is he
looks after the games now, Too so it's like you
can be that brand ambassador and be a celebrity at
the same. Time AND i think that's easy because they
always get celebrities. There so it's a one two knock
of you, know you Get James gun and then you
Get damn Kran, Sweat so that's really.
Speaker 1: GOOD i like that a.
Speaker 3: LOT i was gonna ask you BECAUSE i feel like
this has been a. Trend do you guys have any
pick who do you think could be the presenter of
the performer of The, Year BECAUSE i feel like the
last few years they've been getting they Had troy And
harrison do, it and they Had. PACCINO i feel like
they're getting like He lee when they and they Had
KEANU i think one year, right like when he gets
the big. Talent it feels like it's in That, like
is there some legendary actor you could think would be
popping up?
Speaker 1: There maybe this is kind of the top of my head.
HERE i always forget his name for Circus Andy serkis
because he's In Claire obscure and you have three.
Speaker 2: Week, YEAH i don't.
Speaker 1: KNOW i don't know if you ever actually acted with
them or if they just recorded in their silo probably,
siloed BUT i think that could be that could be
a good. One maybe that's been on the nose though
that it's like A claire person wins, It like maybe
that's too.
Speaker 3: OBVIOUS i don't, Know, taylor you got any celebrities you
think would be in that perform.
Speaker 2: One, mm that's.
Speaker 1: TOUGH i remember they Had Nicholas cage For dead By.
Speaker 2: Daylight, well, yeah and he presented a ward, Too.
Speaker 1: So, Yeah harrison presenting that Not Troy baker. Wins that
would be, crazy that would be.
Speaker 2: Fun, yeah run it.
Speaker 1: Back Joe, Pesci Joe.
Speaker 3: Peschi, okays, no you know what you need to. Do
you need to Get, Pesci Daniel, stern and McCauley. Culch
talk about a moment if you want a, Trend Jeff,
keely he gets those three together on stage at the same.
Speaker 1: Time that'd be, big that'd be.
Speaker 2: Huge.
Speaker 1: YEAH i mean mccauay culkin is In falloout season.
Speaker 3: Two, yeah that could McCauley's, like actually, legitimate yeah he.
Speaker 1: Is, yeah so maybe MAYBE i could lead into a
trailer or come out of a trailer or. Something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay actually a good big. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah like for, Fun i'm just gonna Say arland Short
stanger BECAUSE i think he's bound to pop up with
the game wards at some. Point like to, me When
pacino popped, Up i'm, like anybody can pop with these. Things,
NOW i would not Believe pacino would have been, there you,
know arguably when The Grace act not arguably could you
could argue he's a grace act of all time and
he's the game wards giving out. Stuff uh maybe watching some,
speeches but still he's. There, Right arnold can have some.
Fun but, Now, NO i think, McCaulay that's. Perfect It's christmas. Time,
Yeah i'm on the bandwag AND i think he's a perfect.
Person and because he he's like has that nostalgia level
where he's not a bunch of stuff, nowadays but if
he walks up, stage she's gonna get a good part from.
Speaker 2: People SO i love.
Speaker 1: It my other one is this is my kind of boring.
ONE i did My spicer. One. FIRST i don't really
think this is gonna actually, happen BUT i just feel
Like i'm trying to think of what is A koujima
gonna do up? Here you, know Obviously jeff's best. Friend
what is he gonna do up on? STAGE i feel
like we are probably due for some more od, updates
like something a bit more, Substantial so maybe a new trailer,
there maybe a release because this does that have a window, Yet,
travis does it have like a twenty twenty six on.
Speaker 2: The, NO i think it has a. WINDOW i think
it's gonna be next, year AND i THINK.
Speaker 1: I think we get. THAT i think maybe get twenty twenty,
six maybe get a new actor, revealed maybe you get
a new. Trailer and then my second kind of attached
part to this is AND i think it's probably too,
soon but it's about six months since the release Of
Death randing, Two so if there was only like a
six month exclusivity on that game instead of a full,
year maybe maybe like a shadow drop thing of Like
xbox or or at least even announcing like this is
coming To XBOX, npc maybe switch, to which, unlikely but
maybe maybe even like Desk randing one on Switch, to
that could be a. Thing SO i feel Like kajima
is gonna do something up. THERE i think the big
one for me would be od release, window and then
maybe a little Desk stranding on, Top LIKE i don't,
KNOW i was, thinking like Desk randing, two do they
do a director's cut like they did with the first?
ONE i feel like it's probably too soon for. That,
yeah they probably would want that like connected with a
launch on a new, Platform so maybe maybe there's a
world for something like.
Speaker 2: That, YEAH i think you're right That kajen will do.
Speaker 3: SOMETHING i, think even if it's not, specific they at
least just throw THE od twenty twenty six on. There
and there was a really good character Actor i'm forgetting his,
name he is AN od and he did just pass
away last. Week SO i bet what they could do
if they have that, footage maybe that, trailer a scene
would sent around that, actor BECAUSE i don't think there's
too many characters an. Actor, yeah he's a guy that
the second you see His, Facebook, Okay i've seen this
guy on hundreds of stuff being some sort of actor
or a character. Actor SO i think you're. Right though
ON OD i think desk, STRANDING i think it's just
almost like a little too. EARLY i could be, wrong
BUT i almost wonder if that's like next year Where
odie comes out and there's not much to talk about
anymore and it's, okay this game's coming out on other
platforms or the director's. Cut SO i THINK ODI i would,
Say i'm like a a ninety. Percent i'm a ninety
five percenter on.
Speaker 1: That, so because, yeah desk erning is just it's been.
In it was in so many categories that even If
claire's gonna take many of, THOSE i feel like it's
probably gonna win. Something and then you Get pajama up on,
stage he does a little, announcement so maybe there's like
some some little Just i'm Sure jeff loves planning that
out of like how are we gonna get this person
to get on? Stage how's this timing gonna? Work some
of that could be lined up pretty. Well, Uh, taylor
do you have any other predictions from it? Yourself or
do you have some robotic predictions for?
Speaker 4: US i, mean my other last one would be maybe
like A cyberpunk twenty seventy seven sequel or something like.
That BUT i know they Got witch or four, also
so probably uh you, know double dipping a little.
Speaker 1: Bit do you think do you think we'll See wicher
because that wasn't most. ANTICIPATED i think you can see
something which. Related it makes. Sense when did we get
when did we get? That like in engine like tech?
Demo we thing was that in the?
Speaker 2: SUMMER i think it was in the, summer so maybe.
Recently i'm not sure if it's too soon in my, Opinion.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah my other, ones my quick hits here were
LIKE i don't Think nintendo's really gonna have anything, here
to be, honest BUT i think of anything maybe my
card deal, see BUT i. DON'T i don't think that's
very likely If i'm being, honest goes To Sushima. LEGENDS
i could see that having like a trailer here in
announced State marvel nineteen forty, three which just got pushed,
again BUT i could see that having a new trailer.
Speaker 2: That might get a final Update.
Speaker 1: Fable maybe If xbox is doing, ANYTHING i Think fable
could be a good. One, yeah Although i'd love to
See blade and THEN i THINK i Think Resident evil
And DOUBLE o Seven First light are like one hundred percent.
HAPPENING i think we'll get a new trailer for both
those games because they come out super, soon and then
maybe Maybe sorrows as. Well it could be another PlayStation
one if they want a new trailer for a thing
that's coming out in Like march Or february or something like.
That so, YEAH i Think Resident, Evil DOUBLE o seven
And sarrow's are like the closest to guarantees for me
in terms of just getting a new, trailer but not
not that. Exciting, yeah, NO i agree with all.
Speaker 2: THOSE i Think bond it's very, Likely sorrows very.
Speaker 3: Likely, well even Then bond in the next two days
is getting like a gameplay.
Speaker 2: YouTube you, know breakdown or.
Speaker 3: Whatever, yeah It's december, Third So I'm i'm happy with
all this just because it seems like it's not getting.
Delayed so at FIRST i, thought was this one those
that they're rushing out BEFORE, Gta but they're sticking in the.
State it's still, coming so hopefully it's all.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 1: Signed so eminem, Deal so you just came out today.
Speaker 2: For H hell, yeah For.
Speaker 1: Hitman so there you. Go you mind, Him you mind,
him all, Right taylor take it, away all?
Speaker 4: Right SO i got A i got a few here
and they are there, Rowdy so the lights, drop a
low rumble shit makes the theater like, subwoofers trying to
simulate tectonic. Activity fog pour fog pours across the. Stage
the choirs begin chanting In Kuzdul sindara and. Something Warner
brothers swears his legally distinct black. Speech then, boom a
thirty foot animatronic bower he ERPs from the back of the.
Stage it's it's wings, unfold nearly clipping the overhead light lighting.
Grid pyrotechnic. Stage hans panic flames belch six stories, tall
and the fire marshal leaves the room in.
Speaker 1: Tears the crowd.
Speaker 2: Screen wait, said this animatronic went, bad like it's.
Speaker 4: Faulty i'd say they're trying to sell it.
Speaker 3: Small oh, YEAH i thought you were saying there was
some actual stuff going.
Speaker 4: On the crowd, screams some in, delight some of, genuine genuine,
fear and then, Uh Jeff keey descends.
Speaker 1: From the rafters dressed as Gat off The WHITE i.
Speaker 3: Was gonna make a joke that he's gonna reenact to
get the, thing and he's gonna do.
Speaker 2: It, Okay he's not wearing a cheap.
Speaker 4: Costume this thing has W Eta weeda Workshop insignia's burned
into the. Robes the staff hums with internally mounted LEDs
and a fog. Generator his wig is too, perfect and
someone in the audience, whispers is is that Actually ian
McKellen wearing wearing A Jeff keelly, Mask jesus And jeff
dangling from a wire forty feet in the air bellows
you shall not ignore.
Speaker 2: This, world. PREMIERE i would love to see him, act
because out he slams the staff.
Speaker 4: Downward the staff strike triggers a massive pyrotechnic, blast not a,
spark not a flame, burst an actual concussive shock. Wave
rose one to four lose their, Hats rose five to
twelve lose their hearing for thirty, seconds And rose thirteen
to twenty lose their.
Speaker 6: Composure Last Game, AWARDS i think lost their pants for a.
Speaker 4: Second Jeff lance hard kpe along behind him is as
if powered by industrial. Fans he takes three, slow dramatic steps.
FORWARD a life sized animatronic Shadow facts gallops onto.
Speaker 1: Stage it's eighteen feet. Tall at. Roars horses do not.
Roar jeff.
Speaker 4: Mountains jeff's eyes say this is what gaming journalism was
always leading, to and he shouts.
Speaker 1: Behold battle For Middle earth. RETURNS, Whoa i'll do a.
Speaker 3: Backflip i'll put the bas sleep run on, air do a.
Backflip if that, HAPPENED i. KNEW i unfortunately fell asleep
on the stream when that game got busted, out BUT
i did want to see more of it.
Speaker 2: Happen that'd be.
Speaker 4: Amazing giant platforms rise up Like minister at. Levels one
platform holds a full Size rachai war, band actors and
prosthetics swinging real life, weapons another.
Speaker 2: Thing real life weapons just on.
Speaker 4: Stage another platform reveals a one to one scale siege
tower rolling forward on tank. TREADS a third platform a
motion captured alifont operated by twelve. Puppeteers as this mechanical healthscate,
rises the game trailer plays on a massive curve, screen
but the audience can barely see it because a tchet
fire is flaming boulders across the. Stage one projectile crazes
The bowrog's, wing it collapses onto his smoke. Machine a
stage hand. Sprint jeff continues the reveal while the set
starts to collapse around. Him he gives the developer commentary
as calmly as, possible as if nothing's, wrong you'll command
entire armies across a fully persistent Mil earth. MAP A
trevish shot slams into the stage two feet from, him
With faction tech trees deeper than ever. BEFORE a rogue
or actor accidentally hits a pyrotechnic, marker causing a ten
foot guys are fired to rump Inside, jeff and for
the first time real time hero duels the Shadow facts
animatronic falls over behind. Him the house lights snap to
blood red choir. Scream every animatronic on stage malfunctions at.
Once the only thought spins in a, circle trumpeting the
bowrogs wings catch, fire the YURUKA i try to maintain,
character but, scatter And, jeff still perfectly, composed raises his
staff one last, time shouting battle for middle or three
coming twenty twenty seven pretors.
Speaker 1: Open, now, yeah that's sell some.
Speaker 4: Games, Okay, yeah so, next that's that's.
Speaker 1: INSANE i will say that is more likely Than Joe
pesci is showing up at the game wards in my. Opinion, wow,
okay how many of these CAN i go? Through BECAUSE
i THINK i got four them?
Speaker 2: All if they're worthy or are they all that?
Speaker 1: Long?
Speaker 2: Though that's? Fair maybe good to condense?
Speaker 1: Them, yeah, okay that, One that one's. Long either condense
or give us like the two best ones of the
batch or.
Speaker 4: Something, yeah, okay let me see whether to that ONE
i think is a good, one and and, yeah, OKAY
i got one that's a definite for, sure and then
two other. ONES i got to pick between which one
to do, though maybe we'll do this.
Speaker 2: One.
Speaker 4: Okay the theater, darkens the temperature rises like it actually
is literally. Rising hidden industrial heaters are cranking to, life
turning the venue into one hundred and.
Speaker 1: Five, uh.
Speaker 2: They're all just weather rings adjacent.
Speaker 4: One hundred and five degrees fahrenheit And arakene. Simulation the
audience members begin fanning themselves WITH sgf. PAMPHLIPS a voice
echoes he who controls the, hype controls the gaming. INDUSTRY

Jeff sliwy, rises sand sliding beneath him and lifts his
knife to the, crowd and he whispers into the.
Speaker 2: Mike the spice must.
Speaker 4: Flow the entire stage erupts as industrial wind machines blast
thousands of pounds of sand across the front, rows and
the audience is, blinded and someone, screams.
Speaker 2: My, eyes my, eyes but this is intentional from.
Speaker 4: Above this enormous sin or animatronics tear through the, stage
three of, them each the size of a school, bus
controlled by forty. Puppeteers one lunges towards the, crowd And
jeff leaps off the colapsing throne like he's doing his own.
Stunts he lands perfectly, still. Whispering the gamer awakens actors
dressed As Sardacar SARDUCRE i can't remember to pronounce. That
soldiers drop from the ceiling on, wires chanting and throats singing.
Harmony they Charge, jeff who brandishes his, knife doing surprisingly
competant combat choreography that endangers nearby. Bystanders two soldier actors,
die falling into strategically placed mounds of sand that swallow them.
Whole someone in the balcony fames.
Speaker 2: Just doing. That it's a dune game that's gonna get
a seven. METACRITIC i like.
Speaker 1: That, yeah it just described two people dying and it's
like and then someone. Fainted it's, like, well that doesn't matter.
Anymore fainting is nothing compared to.
Speaker 4: Massive dispensers open up above the stage and release fifty
pounds of fluorescent orange dust, spice and it billows into the,
crowd coating everyone's, hair, skin and clothes like cheetoh dust.
Choke people cry and people. CHEER a man in the
third row, yells this is better THAN e.
Speaker 3: Three The Dead Gaming organization shots of.
Speaker 4: Them jeff lives both arms as the spice cloud swirls around,
him glowing under black, lights and his eyes shine. Blue,
suddenly every phone in the audience vibrates. VIOLENTLY a notification, Appears,
attention you are a spice poison to only continuing to
watch the show will save. You people scream and people laugh.
NERVOUSLY a few tried to, leave but staff and still
suits block the. Exit the dune drum. Begins jeff stares
directly into the main. Camera ladies and, gentlemen behold the
future of open world narrative. Adventures the screen screens ignite

foot or by. Worm you ally With freeman, Tribes you
navigate political, houses you customize still, suits you write sandworms
using real, physics and you influence spice flow across the entire.
Speaker 1: Planet Uh Jesus.
Speaker 4: Yeah and then As jeff goes to conclude one of
the massive sandword a ematronics. Malfunctions it's giant jaws swing,
wide snapping the support. Rigging the worm falls, forward nearly
crushing the front, row But jeff's still in character screams
fear is the mind. Killer he, sprints, dives and shoves
to attendees out of the way as the pyrotechnics behind
him explode into a geyser of rge. Spice security swarms the,
stage And, jeff covered in, sand spice and sweat and,
glory looks strictly into the camera and, whispers and now
let's take a look at what PlayStation has for us.
Speaker 3: Next that's the last time you ever Saw Jeff keey ever.
Speaker 2: Again he's killed to feely still.

Speaker 3: One this is you think you can make it good
as quick as nine percent of my mac battery that's left,

T rexcce In Jurassic. Park the crowd, erupts fog fills the,
theater and Pyro cannon's ignite and random unsafe directions At.
