How's it going? Let me just double check that audio's working here. We're all good with that. Audio levels are good. Audio levels are good. We're good. All right. How you guys doing? Welcome everyone to the Sony State of Play. Technically, isn't for 50 minutes. We got 50 minutes in counting here until the State of Play. So we got a hot minute. What's really cool about this State of Play is it's happening exactly one week away from Prime Gaming Fest, everybody. One week. That just has me beyond excited that we are this close to Prime Gaming Fest. And Sony's just getting our June continuing going, right? We had Sonic Frontier's stuff yesterday. We had obviously a brand new trailer for Pokemon, Scarlet and Violet. I mean, if you want to be honest, Nintendo started June, right? That this is the month of all the announcements and all the trailers, probably in Nintendo Direct. We got Sony doing their thing. We got Xbox doing their thing next, not this weekend, but next weekend. Everyone's kind of busting their nut in June and giving us all of the amazing information, all the amazing gaming news, all the amazing game reveals. And technically it was Nintendo, the Pokemon company and Game Freak that kicked off the month of June, showing Pokemon, Scarlet and Violet, brand new trailer, multiplayer, all that craziness was the very first bit of real big gaming news we got in June and it happened yesterday morning. Sonic Frontier's followed that up and now here we are today with Sony State of Play. We know for sure we're gonna be seeing some more of the Horizon VR game. They're making it for the PSVR too. So we know that's gonna be seen today because Sony themselves teased it, but who knows? We got a half hour of goodness today. We'll probably see some other VR stuff, maybe some other craziness, maybe we'll get some dates on some PlayStation 5 games. I have no idea. That's the fun thing about events like this is we don't really know what to expect. There's usually a baseline of a game or two we know. As an example, we know that we're gonna be seeing Sonic Frontier's again, again at Summer Game Fest on June 9th. Like we know that's going to happen, right? Like that's been advertised. But we don't know all of the games gonna be shown. We know on Friday, we're gonna see the DLC for Cuphead, right? We're gonna see that final DLC, a new trailer, new information on it, landing Friday next week. But we don't know what all the other news is gonna end up being, right? We know about very specific things happening on very specific days in the month of June, but we don't know everything and that's what makes this time of the year so damn exciting. That being said, how you liking this little layout here? You know, we got like a new imagery going on here. This is the official imagery for the main show of Prime Gaming Fest next week. We have more different layouts coming your way, hot firing off, but this is just a little tease of, one, you will see a lot when Eric and I are both on camera and we're not showing anything else off. This is one of the common layouts you'll see. I don't know the chat's always gonna be, you know, just kind of floating off to the right. We'll kind of figure out how we wanna do the chat, but let me know if you guys like it. This is just some new imagery we got for you guys for Prime Gaming Fest, so hopefully you like it. You can kind of see the color themes of red, blue, yellow. That's kind of our Prime Gaming Fest ways. I hope you guys like that. We also technically have a bit of a new look here as well. This is just for when I'm on camera and we're showing something. You guys wanna see this? I don't know, I think it looks pretty good. I gotta scoot over a little bit, but I think it looks pretty good. I gotta scoot the wrong way. I gotta scoot this way. It's always figured out which way I gotta scoot. But there you go, this is also really cool. You see we got our most recent Super Chat, our top shooter, Super Chatter today. It's sort of in the last 24 hours, so yeah, this is what we'll see for the state of play today. Obviously the state of play itself will be full screen right now, it's not live. You see we got 46 minutes to go. So hopefully you like this. This is just some stuff we're playing around with. I don't have the transition set or anything so you're seeing these hard cut transitions. I just don't have anything set yet. We're still getting everything set up. We have new layouts. We'll have a new intro. So you guys see this? Like that's our old intro. That was our old intro. We're gonna have a new intro as well. New transitions, new everything. We have a lot of stuff still in the works. There's gonna be new stuff happening on the TV back here. It's not just gonna be a Prime Gaming Fest logo. We're gonna have actual, really cool stuff happening back there. We actually, I have a big surprise for the set. There's a huge portion of this set right here that isn't built yet, that will not be built until after round one of our Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament on June 8th. So when that tournament ends and we end that stream, Eric and I get hard at work at doing the finishing touches on this set and it's gonna be a big surprise when we go live at 9 a.m. on June 9th. So I'm really excited about that. But today is all about Sony. Sony's state of play. Again, it happens at the top of the hour. So what are your guys' expectations for this? I'm not really sure what to expect. Let me go look up what Sony officially said about this state of play just to see what they were teasing because I don't actually know what they were teasing. I know we're getting VR stuff. I know that. Let's see here. The event's gonna be 30 minutes long. Since PlayStation has this data that there will be a showcase game during that presentation, most theories suggest the bulk of the presentation will make up a brief trailers and updates for a variety of games, although they did announce, that's not exactly 100% true. They did announce that there was gonna be the VR2, PSVR, VR2 is gonna be shown off and we're gonna see that new Horizon game for that as well. But there's other things that we're kind of looking forward to, like there's been rumors about Street Fighter 6. Don't know if we'll see that here, but that's been rumored out there. Obviously Final Fantasy 16 is supposed to at least be temporarily PlayStation exclusive. Maybe something Resident Evil could be in the works. Third party Galore, you know, Sony has a lot of that. They also have a lot of exclusives. So there could be a lot of stuff. So I'm just trying to get as up to the information as I can on this. I wanna make sure that we are fully rockin' with our full expectations here, hyping responsibly and all of that. So, Sony's summer announcement show will include exciting reveals. This is according to Sony themselves. They're gonna have, it says exciting reveals from company's third party partners. And we'll get a look at several games in development for PlayStation VR 2. So I don't know if we're gonna see any first party reveals for anything but PlayStation VR 2, but we are going to be seeing third party partners coming out. So that's where he starts thinking about Final Fantasy 16. That's where he starts thinking about Street Fighter 6. And who knows what else? Who knows what else we're gonna debut here because Ubisoft is not gonna be doing an Ubisoft forward during June. So they're gonna be spreading their games out between this, the Nintendo Direct, the Xbox Showcase, and Summer Game Fest. They're gonna be spreading out their announcements across all those events. And I think the same is true with Square Enix. I don't think Square Enix is gonna end up doing a standalone event either. So their announcements are gonna be spread out. We know Square does a lot of stuff with Nintendo. They also do a lot of stuff with PlayStation. So, yeah, Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2. That's what we need to talk about. You know, what about Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2? You know, that's some stuff we gotta see as well. We could see the Resident Evil 4 remake that there's been kind of rumors of. And hey, Konami supposedly doing something with Silent Hill. Do we see Silent Hill today? It's gonna be interesting. It's gonna be a lot of fun. So, what are your guys' expectations for today's State of Play? It's gonna be 30 minutes. Goofball Gamer, it's gonna be 30 minutes. So it's a pretty big one. 30 minutes is a big presentation. When you start to get to 30 and beyond, those are really big presentations. You know, when you have the shorter 15-minute ones, there's been shorter 15-minute State of Plays. There's usually not a lot of stuff in there. It's usually updates on indie games or maybe one title or something. But this is a 30-minute State of Play. That's usually a big deal. That's a big boy one. So, you know, we can see a lot. Silent Hill, Pachinko. That's funny. Shout-outs to people that are here, by the way. Let me get some shout-outs. Shout-outs! First, let's shout out all of our members. All the people that hit the join button or who have been gifted memberships because we do have gifted memberships. We got Donna Savoy, Eric Winstead, awesome Aubrey, E-Primeify, Nintendo All-Stars, Kirby, Geek 4, Yvonne, Francois, Eric Winstead, Bootha Newt, Gears of War, Phoenix Edition, Paul Gale, Network, Ice, Sonic, Goofball Gamer, Lost Boys Gaming. Scrolling on Donnie Dzynski. How's it going, Donnie? We got JPG in the house as well. Birdman Senpai is also a moderator. We got Don Lewis, Brittany Hastings, Toto Dope, that's awesome, guys. Let me shout out everyone else who's here as well. If you guys would like a shout-out, all you gotta do is say something in the chat. I would also appreciate it. If people would drop likes and maybe share the stream, allow. Maybe make this the place where people come to watch all of June's events, right? We have this. We might be doing the limited-run games event as well. I'm still working out the details on the timing for me to cover limited-run games. They're going in four days. They're going on, I believe, Monday, June 6th. We are looking to hopefully cover the limited-run games as well. And then, obviously, we have our Super Smash Bros. tournament on the 8th, and then we get right into our six-day event where we will not miss a damn thing. All right, let's go. Let me get, we got Jordan Bernes here. We got King Underscore Eve. We got Lake Show Loyal 824 is here as well. Fire Soul, by the way. I forgot to shout out to him. He's one of our members and moderator, so how's it going? Jamie Boyko is here. We got Kee Chan 64. Lionel the Wolf, Freddie Mercury. I love that reference. We got Rabbit 23 GSO. We got, let's see here. Scroll him down that list. I want to make sure I get everyone. NodZ is here. How's it going? We got The KG. We got C Shades is here. Liz M. Jordan Bern. Matthew Lewis. F2P Chloe Wyvern. We got Cody B. As well, Sweet Life of Dio Brando. What's going on? We got Bykarius is here. How's it going, buddy? Hey, oh, I want to see how pretty Kotar will be. That's another game we could see today, right? We also got a logo drop for Dragon Age today. We got a logo drop and a name for Dragon Age was dropped today. Are we going to see Dragon Age footage? They did say it won't be coming this year. That doesn't mean we won't see the Dragon Age game in June. Today, Summer Game Fest, Xbox, I don't know. We're not getting an EA play either. So one of those events, we could see our first gameplay, our first real trailer for Dragon Age. Let me get the exact name of that Dragon Age game, actually, Dragon Age. I know it's based on Solace, Dragon Age Dread Wolf, that's right. He's the Dread Wolf, yep. I've played Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age Inquisition. I love Dragon Age. I play it on PC. It's my preferred way to play Dragon Age. And yeah, man, I'm a Dragon Age Dread Wolf, baby. Maybe that logo tease was a potential teaser for seeing the game at the state of play. So we got Lost Fast is here. Get back to the shoutouts. Here we got David Haney, Void is here. Nintendo Academy is here as well. I forgot to shout out to him. He's a moderator and a member and a co-host of our Nintendo Prime podcast. We got Ricky here as well. We got K Toad is here. We got Andy Kane. Nick is here as well. So I think that just about gets to, and we'll go Slayer as well. Again, if you wanted to shout out, just say something in the chat and I will attempt to still shout you out. So we got a little bit. We got a hot minute. We got 37 minutes. I'll show you guys here. We got 37 minutes here. You can see the count down. See the count now. 37 minutes to go. I'm so, I'm pumped maybe. I'm pumped. This is the first show of the big three this June. The first show of the big three this June. Let's go. Pokemon, Sonic yesterday, Sony today, limited run games Monday. Can't wait. We were here guys. We've been waiting all year for June. June is the month of reveals. Pretty much since our last Nintendo Direct in February. We've been waiting for June for all the big news drops and now we're here. Heck, are we gonna end up seeing, not, we won't see this today, but are we gonna see Sparks of Hope at some time this month, Nintendo Direct? Ubisoft's a partner with Summer Game Fest. Are we gonna see Sparks of Hope? There's Mario. Thanks to Sparks of Hope gonna appear on stage at Summer Game Fest. Possibility, possibilities are endless, man. Your expectations are low? That's cool. I mean, I went over some games that I feel like might be reasonable expectations to see today. We know for sure we'll see the Horizon VR2 game, but I don't know what else we'll see. They did say we'll see third party games for sure and more VR games. So we are gonna see major third party games being shown for PlayStation 5. So we'll see. And some of those third party games by the way also go to Xbox. Some of them sometimes go to Nintendo as well. A lot of them go to PC too. So it's kinda cool that there's gonna be a bunch of third party games because that can get all gamers excited even if you don't like Sony. Me personally, I like all the platforms. I am platform agnostic. I know you see an Xbox in the back, a little ironic. I did sell my PlayStation 5 last year. Not because I wanted to though. I'm still planning to get a new PS5 this year, but we gotta worry about Prime Gaming Fest first, right? Thousands of dollars in giveaways. Six day event. I would love if our mods could share some of the links to the Prime Gaming Fest because it's really hard to find the links.   It's so hard to find all the links to our six day event. But it's coming baby. June is like Christmas for gamers. It is if you're into video game news and video game announcements, June is like Christmas for gamers. And all of this without E3. I said for a long time that E3's purpose is less about the game reveals because the companies do the game reveals, not E3. E3 doesn't tell Nintendo what to reveal. E3 doesn't tell Microsoft and Sony and EA and Ubisoft and all the indie game. They don't tell them what to reveal. They don't tell digital devolver what to do. But E3 is a show floor event where you get to actually play all the games early. And that is still missed to this day. We haven't had one since 2019. In three years it is missed to this day. I miss being able to go hands on with the games and deliver exclusive previews, exclusive footage and hands on impressions for you guys. And it's looking really, really good that if they do an in person one next year, I will be attending with media, conducting interviews and be actually able to go behind the scenes and get direct capture footage of games. Pretty cool, right? We're moving up in the world. But we had to have E3 happen for that to happen without E3 happening. I can't really give you that content. So we make up for it though. I think Prime Gaming Fest more and more and more than makes up for everything else going on. Let's see, a Metal Gear Solid remake announced to come out in 2023 for the game's 25th anniversary would be huge, says Paul Gale. But I'm not banking on it necessarily for today. Yeah, that can be announced anytime. Obviously Metal Gear Solid has a long standing history with PlayStation, but it's probably gonna be a multi-platform beyond almost everything's probably not Switch, but that's just, I don't think Konami's gonna put anything on Switch to be honest. But it would be really, really cool to see that announced today. We'll see if Sony can bring the game. I mean, here's the thing, Nintendo Scarlet, I wanna be very clear today, we're not gonna see a lot of PlayStation 5 exclusives to set the table.  They have set the table for us. They will be showing off some VR games that might be exclusive. But a lot of the big announcements that you're gonna have for PlayStation 5 today are third-party. So a lot of the games we see, well, some of them might be, like if they show off Final Fantasy 15, that's an exclusive. Or a lot of the games are third-party games that we're gonna see today. So we shouldn't use this as a barometer to oh, Sony's in trouble. PlayStation always has a slow start to releasing their exclusives, but then they end the generation with bangers, right? Think about what they ended PlayStation 4 with. Then we get Last of Us Part 2 and Ghost of Shashima in the final year. And heck, last year wasn't horrible. We had Ratchet and Clank, Rift Apart, Returnal, Sackboy, actually, I think Sackboy was that. Was Sackboy at launch, PlayStation 5? Either way, like they had a pretty solid list of games last year. They didn't have anything big for the holidays. I don't know if they'll have anything big this year for the holidays. I mean, I guess Final Fantasy 16 comes up and that is exclusive. We already know it's an exclusive game. That would be a big game for the holidays, but yeah, I don't think we use this as a barometer for Sony. PlayStation 5 is selling out. They just had a restock today at Walmart, sold out within a half hour. Only reason they took a half hour is because they're doing a queue system now at Walmart. Thank you, Walmart, for actually considering gamers not making us waste our time with constant refreshes. They created a queue system. Thank you, took you along enough, but thank you. I do appreciate that. It'll make it much easier when I go to get my new PlayStation 5 later this year. If I end up getting it through Walmart, it'll be so much nicer that I don't have to worry about refreshing nonstop. I'm in a queue. When you get through the queue, you actually get a solid like five minute window to actually get the system in your cart, get your credit card information and purchase it. It's no longer fighting with millions and millions of people. You just get in the queue and when you get through the queue, yeah, you just make the purchase. It's that simple. Thank God, should have been there at launch. Should be there. Hopefully the future launches of everything, the next Nintendo platform, I hope it's there. You know, the mid-gen refreshes, the Slims, whatever's coming. They better keep this queue system. It was a very good addition. Just feel like PS5 is going slow. I mean, right now, I think so a lot of Sony's focus is obviously on manufacturing systems. They're still making games. It's just pandemic, people working at home, things are going a little slower, lots of delays. And Sony, traditionally, the first two years of every generation is very slow at getting games out. If you remember the start of PlayStation 4, there was like Bloodborne. That was the notable game for almost two years, was Bloodborne. Great game. But that was basically it. There was a couple of other smaller ones in there, but Sony didn't have a whole lot for the first two years of PlayStation 4, but then years three, four, five, six, bangers. That's the way Sony does. They end their generation strong, start the next generation slow. Nintendo likes to start strong and slow. That's what makes this so weird right now, or technically in the midst of year six of Nintendo Switch, and it's going as strong as it ever has. So Nintendo's bucking the trend. They started strong, they also might be ending strong. Crazy. This is also what happens when Nintendo has a billion internal studios plus their party partners, and now they're making all games for one system instead of two. I always knew if Nintendo could ever find a way to make all their development focus on a single platform, that they're just gonna have a hell of a lot more games coming out, because they were splitting everything, right? Since NES Game Boy, right? SNES Game Boy, N64 Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, you know, I guess you could say Game Boy Color N64, then Game Boy Advance, GameCube, right? You know, then you get up to like the DS and Wii, and 3DS Wii U. They've always been splitting their development between two entirely different platforms. So I knew when they did this hybrid, one advantage was gonna be, everything's made for one platform, eventually we're gonna see this lead to a hell of a lot more games. And you know what? We're in the sixth year of Switch and we have a hell of a lot more games. So kudos to them. Microsoft, all the studios they bought are eventually gonna bear a ton of fruit. I'm very curious to see how the game release site works out for Microsoft, you know, after this year. I'm saying after this year, because one, we need to get more clear of the pandemic. And two, all these acquisitions were recent. They bought a lot of studios in like the last two years. We need to now wait and let those studios make games.  We spent a hundred plus billion dollars between all the studios we bought. Gotta wait now. Gotta wait. We gotta actually let the studios make the games. Once the games start churning out, I think Microsoft's gonna kinda almost be like Nintendo at this point, where they just got a number of bangers landing every year. And Sony's been really doing well too. If we're honest, Sony sells a hundred million units almost every generation. And you know what? Their games have been selling more and more and more. They're exclusive to selling more. You start looking at the best selling games on PlayStation 4, a number of them are over 10 million. And that's really good. Yeah, we're not talking 40 million like Nintendo, but for Sony, they're every generation, their games are selling more and more and more. Sony's onto something. You know, they just acquired Bungie. Oh, gotta wait and see what Bungie's gonna do next. So let's just see what happens, man. I think gaming's in a hell of a good place right now. Although it'd be interesting to see who buys EA. It kinda shocked me when I found out EA was for sale. I don't know who's gonna get them. I don't think it's gonna be a platform holder. I think EA is too expensive for Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo to consider. But I do think there's gonna be some, I don't know if it's Disney, Apple, someone's gonna acquire EA. And then we'll see what happens. I don't know if that's gonna be positive or negative, to be honest. It's hard to know with EA. Because in their sale, they're looking to still keep Andrew at the top. Which tells me that, I think they just wanna cash flow influx without having to change. I don't know. It could be Apple, yeah, Apple's in top. So that's one of the crazy things is that EA, I didn't think would ever be for sale. And Ubisoft might be for sale. They're not for sale right now. They basically set a threshold of value on their company that they would be willing to sell at. And that threshold is not a threshold they've attained more than once in company history. So I don't think Ubisoft is gonna be sold anytime soon. Other studios, who knows. Konami's too much into Pachinko games and casino stuff. I don't think anyone's gonna buy Konami. They make so much money from casino stuff. I think they're good. I don't think Sega is gonna be for sale. Sega Sammy is actually the name of the company. It's a combo company. They're doing very well overall. So a lot of these companies, I don't think it's gonna be. It was shocking to see EA is gonna be for sale. But I don't think this is gonna be a trend where every studio is gonna be for sale. You know, I don't suddenly think we're gonna see take two for sale, right? So Apple doesn't care enough about gaming to buy EA. You could say that. Apple Arcade's actually been a pretty big success for them. And they're rumored at the moment to be actually developing a home console. What's a great way to launch a home console? Get the entire EA library exclusive to your platform. I'm not saying they should do that, or I want them to do that, but hey, man, if you can only play the next Dragon Age on an Apple console, yeah, I don't want that to happen. That's a future I hate.  Like, yeah, Bethesda, really great get for Microsoft. Those kind of suck. Everything's gonna be exclusive. Yeah, I'm gonna play it because I have an Xbox. But still, it kind of sucks, you know? Sucks for PlayStation fans, especially. Nintendo, we were really getting a ton from Bethesda. We were getting some retreads, though. We were getting Wolfensteins and Doom. We were getting those stuff late. And so I guess in some regards, it does suck for us because it did feel like we were getting a lot of support from id Software, which is owned by Bethesda. So I guess it affects us as well, actually. Now that we were starting to get those games now, yeah, the next Doom, the next Wolfenstein, it probably won't be on the Switch. State of play is really soon. Here we are. We are 23 minutes and 28 seconds, 27, 26, 25. We're getting close, we're getting close. Almost 20 minutes ago, just under 30 minutes to the next State of Play. We got 23 minutes ago. Apple will buy Disney. I don't think Apple's gonna buy Disney. Disney's too big. I don't even know who's, is Apple bigger than, they're both so massive. Neither one of them would require. One, that acquisition would be shot down by the FTC. That acquisition would be shot down. They wouldn't let Apple buy Disney or let Disney buy Apple. I don't think that's a realistic expectation. Could be wrong, but I'm gonna stand by me thinking it's not a realistic expectation. Apple's way bigger than, let me see. Apple market cap. Let's see what Apple's market cap is. Hold on, Apple value. Apple's overall value. I don't know what to say. I know their shares are selling at $151.21. 2.2 trillion, let's just say 2 trillion. It's 2 trillion, 800 million. But there are 2 trillion dollar company. And Disney is, let's see here. Disney is 200 billion. I'm the 48th most valuable company by market cap. Now their shares are within $40 at 110, but there's less of them. So their market cap's 200 million. So yeah, Apple's a lot bigger. I don't think Apple's buying Disney though. I honestly think that the FTC would step in. I think that's more of a monopoly situation. I don't think that that would happen. Between Apple's already streaming services, their shows and everything else they got going on. I think that would be a monopoly type thing. They'd step in and probably block that. But who knows? I'm not working for the government. I don't get to make those decisions. If you could have your choice, which game franchise would you like to see as multi-platform, this is from Don Lewis, including Switch. I for one would like to see Mech Warrior, Mech Assault on Switch. You can have your choice, what game franchise would you like to see as multi-platform? If I had to take an exclusive game and go full multi-platform, that's a tough one. See it's tough now, because now I gotta consider all the Bethesda IPs, but technically we haven't had any exclusives drop on yet for that. So I'm gonna go with known exclusive entities that have happened. Because my obvious answer is to say, hey, the next Elder Scrolls, I would like to see that on everything, but that game's still a long ways off and we don't know if it's gonna be. So let's go with, if I'm honest, my favorite Sony IP at the moment. The new Spider-Man and Miles Morales and whatever the next Spider-Man game is gonna be. I would like to see that on PC, Xbox and Switch. I would like to see the Spider-Man game. One of my favorite things I did when I had a PlayStation 5 was play Miles Morales.  I really want the Spider-Man game, the new Spider-Man game and the Miles Morales one and whatever the next Spider-Man. I want that whole franchise to go multi-platform. I want that to be multi-platform. If I could choose, it would be that. It's easier for me to go and say Final Fantasy now that it's kind of going Sony exclusive, but dude, I love that so much on PlayStation. It kind of sucks, I can't play it right now. I'd love to play it on my Xbox. I'd love to play it on my Switch on the go. Those are the, I'd like to see that happen. It's not going to, of course. You were posing a hypothetical, but I would like to see that go multi-plat on everything. Let's see here. Please man, that would be great. The whole entire Spider-Man. Yeah, dude, yeah. That's what I'm saying. That would be my choice. I can only say that because I have experience with it. Like there's a lot of Sony IPs.  Like I have an Xbox and I keep thinking that Halo would be cool, Fable, but it's been a while so I don't know if the new Fable is going to be great yet, like I'm waiting for the exclusives to drop. I'm going to decide what Microsoft IPs, like it'd be cool to say Age of Empires, but honestly, I think that belongs on PC. I don't think that should really be on console, to be honest. So yeah, when I'm thinking of exclusives that I buy other platforms to play, that Spider-Man stands out, I would like to see that on everything. Again, never going to happen, but it'd be badass, right? Yes, you can see your comic. You don't need to spam FFS, man. All things Mario, we got you. Your comic can be seen. And just because I don't respond to every comment, you got 150 plus people, I'm not going to be able to read everything, guys. You have a PS5 and I don't play it, I only have two games. Well, Mike, you want to send that PS5 to my house? I'll take it off your hands. You don't want it, you don't play it, I'll take it. Save me some money later this year. There's no way they'd allow Apple or Disney to buy, well, yeah, I don't think, I mean, it would be Apple buy Disney, and Disney would be able to buy Apple, but I don't think they'd let that happen. But, you know, Apple buy an EA, I think that is a sale that could go through. So we'll see what happens. Apple could obviously probably bid the most, but there's one thing to be able to have the power to bid the most, and then there's also smart business decisions where there's probably a certain amount of money that, you know, if they're competing, doing competing offers for EA, there's also a certain threshold of money that it just doesn't make business sense to make the purchase, right? So Apple could throw the money away, but Apple doesn't do that kind of thing. Like there's probably a value that they see they're willing to go up to, and if someone wants to outbid them, Apple might just go, yeah, you know, we're not gonna, we don't think it's worth the money past a certain amount to go in. So doesn't mean Apple's gonna get EA just because they have the most money. And by the way, maybe EA ends up not selling at all. Maybe the deal that fell through already makes other companies second guess whether it was, whether they're worth it, right? Like, that's the thing to consider too. These companies trying to buy out others, there was a deal in place for EA, it fell through. Maybe the reason it fell through is gonna give other companies pause to make, maybe the reason has something to going out of EA and they're like, you know what? Maybe this isn't such a good acquisition, so. Do I recommend KOTAR, Knights of the Old Republic? Hell yeah, man. I haven't played it in a hell of a lot. I played it on PC back in the day. I haven't played it in a hell of a long time, but I had a lot of fun with that when I was a kid. That game's amazing. But whether or not, you know, compared to today's games, you could say it's great, I don't know, but it was amazing back in the day. So anyone who wants to try it, I would say, is worthwhile. Let's see here. Thanks for the question, Putinute. By the way, if you want me to answer you guys' questions here as we get 15 minutes away from the state of play, just kinda at me in the chat. It helps me organize through the chat, so I don't have to, like, some of you guys are talking to each other. Some of you are trying to ask me questions. If you ping me in the chat with at Nintendo Prime, that will obviously let me know that you're trying to ask me something so I can do a better job sifting through the chat. Like T. Fernbach said, Nate, you're lucky I caught this. So what's your favorite franchise after Zelda? Zelda is my favorite franchise. After that, it's tough, man. I think it's a toss up between Age of Empires and the Total War series, and that by surprise, people. But I've been PC gaming as long as I've been Nintendo gaming, basically. I did play Nintendo first, but I built my first PC in the mid-90s when I was, God, eight years old. And I've been PC gaming ever since. So I'm really big on certain specific types of PC games. You know, like the Faro series? God, I miss that City Builder Faro series. I really miss that series. I'm so sad that it only lasted a couple of games. I'm sad it took this long to get Age of Empires 4. You know, there's other games as well. Like the Warcraft games. I love World of Warcraft, but the Warcraft franchise. Like, I would love a new one of those. Like, when we got Starcraft II, I was playing the hell out of that. I love Starcraft.  Though, you can kind of tell what my kind of preferred genre of games is there on PC. Of course, I've played other genres. I played FPSs and indie games, and Fortnite, and all of a sudden, I've played all these other games on PC as well. Final Fantasy VIII.  That was the way I did it. Oh, hey, hey, here we go. Let's get to the countdown. We're actually gonna mute this for now. But it is up. It is up and it's live. So we will leave it live, countdown, and we'll continue to take questions. We'll continue to take questions. So yeah, probably I would say Age of Empires for right now, but it's kind of, I don't know, man. The Total War series is up there for me. And then obviously, I got my Metroids, my Mario's, Halo. I really enjoy Halo. So there's so many different IPs that are up there for me. But yeah, Zelda's my number one. Doesn't mean all the Zelda games are rated the best, by the way. Yes, Breath of the Wild is my favorite game of all time, but then Secret of Mana is the next one. And then it's probably Age of Empires 2. Like, my favorite games of all time list isn't just, hey, because Zelda's my favorite IP, it just packs my top 50. Like yeah, there are a handful of Zelda games in my top 50, but they're not like even all of my top 10. Like, Literally Breath of the Wild might be my only Zelda game in my top 10 favorite games. So like, my top 50, maybe we'll do a stream on this someday, where we go over my top 50 games of all time. And we count down from 50 all the way to number one. Or maybe we go from number one to 50, because I think it's more exciting to see what's included towards the bottom of the list in the top.  Like some of these might not be a surprise to you.  This game didn't even make his top 50, how? I think that would be a really, really fun stream idea to do like a top 50 games of all time. And obviously I would have to do some work because I got to compile my list. I haven't compiled a list past 20 in a long time. So I think that would be a really fun stream idea. Let's go over to the top 50 games of all time, according to me. And you guys can go over your favorites as well.  It's just my, based on what I've played in my personal taste. Let's see here, oh, let's take this off the, I think so you guys can actually see the countdown timer. Come on, there it is. 12 minutes and 22 seconds. They already have their music up for it and everything. We'll get this all set, make sure the audio, actually let's make sure the audio levels look good right now before they're live. So let me check here. Probably a little loud, let's bring that down a bit. Maybe like, I want you to hear it pretty good though. Maybe like right there. That might be a good level right there. Yeah, it's probably a good level. You guys let me know if that level sounded good. I want to make sure that we're on the same page here. I want to present a good show so you guys can hear me clear but still hear everything really nice from them and it doesn't sound like we're drowning each other out. You think Switch Digital Games will be kept on the next platform, meaning we won't have to buy them again, it would stay at our Nintendo account. Do I think the Switch Digital Games will be kept? I hope so. They haven't done it yet. So history tells you no. So it's like one of those, my mind's telling me no but my body, my body is telling me yes. Paul again, there was a Street Fighter 6 shows up. That is one of the potential rumored games today, Street Fighter 6. Hopefully it doesn't say console exclusive. I can see it saying like a timed console exclusive. I really hate timed exclusives. If it's a multi-platform, just let it be multi-plat. But money talks. Let's see here. When do you think the June Direct will be? June 14th. It's almost June 14th. You asked the question, I gave you a direct answer. Leonardo Lubric says, do you think there's gonna be any rumors that come to fruition in this presentation? Silent Hill, maybe. Street Fighter 6 has been rumored as well. Yeah, I think there's gonna be at least one major rumor that gets massively confirmed today from a third-party company. There's been a lot of them out there. I know we don't cover them a lot on our channel because we're focused so much on Nintendo stuff but there's been a lot of really, really big rumors out there for Microsoft, Sony, PC, third parties. So we're not gonna ignore that. There's a high chance that some of these rumors are gonna get shown today. All right, hey, we got 91 likes. I would appreciate if you guys would continue to drop those likes and share by streaming around. Try to get the word out. We're trying to do something special here, trying to grow the channel. I do have the chat open to the public right now. Obviously if the bots are showing up, we'll have to lock it down. I hate locking it down though. I want new people who discovered my channel to get a good chance to interact before they decide to subscribe. I would like you to find out if you like my community. You like the community, you like me. Hit the subscribe button and all that. Let's grow this channel together on our way to 80,000 subscribers. That's our next milestone. So thank you guys so much for tuning in and choosing to watch the Sony State of Play with me today. Is there anybody in the chat that, this is the first time you've ever seen me? I'm always curious. I don't know how my content pops up on YouTube. So I'm just gonna bop to the bottom of the chat here. Why are you such a cool dude? I'm such an awesome bro. I don't know. I'm not really following myself like that. Like, oh my God, man, I'm so great. I'm so awesome, man. I'm the best there ever now. Dude, I don't really think I'm that great. I'm just, I'm me. I am unabashedly myself. My name is Nate. I run a channel called Nintendo Prime. I play games on everything. Obviously I never infinity to Nintendo, but I'm not, I am not one of those console war. Am I a Chad? Yeah, I guess there's Chad moments sometimes. I'm a father, I game. I built my own studio in my house. Big show coming up. Give them back to the community, thousands of dollars. Giveaways, we got giveaways for Xbox, PlayStation, Switch. Obviously most of our stuff is catered more towards Nintendo for our giveaways. We have giveaways for everything. Dream Prime Gaming Fest is gonna be a lot of fun. I'm wondering if any turtle info is coming up. I think wait for limited run games on the sixth. They've confirmed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder of Revenge News is gonna be dropping on the sixth. I don't think we're gonna see it today. I think we're gonna see it at limited run games. I regret that I have, what does it say? I don't know how about one like to give to you. That's all right, man.  Maybe. Sony kind of told us what to expect, right? They told us what to expect. Third party games and then VR stuff. So I'm thinking God of War is probably not showing up. I would say God of War, no. GTA 6, that would be a big shot in the dark. I don't think we're seeing GTA 6 this year. But you never know. Maybe I'm wrong. There it is in development. They did confirm it's in development. You should make more Zelda content. I love theaterizing. Yeah. Wait till we get closer to Breath of the Wildtube. There'll be a lot more Zelda content. But I don't focus on, even though Zelda's my favorite franchise and I have a huge background in Zelda, I ran a Zelda fan site for like 20 years. I don't focus on any one thing anymore. I've been, when I started doing YouTube content, it was a lot of Zelda stuff. But I sense spread my wings because you know what? It's a lot more fun to me to cover a lot of things instead of just focusing on Zelda. Like there are some days I miss making Zelda theory videos and stuff like that. But on the other hand, I also get to start to get really excited and show my pure joy I have for other things, for other games, you know? And you'll see me today.  Because I'm a gamer first and foremost when it comes to my YouTube stuff and my enjoyment and my passion. Platform agnostic, gamer first. Then the preferences come into what I typically like, such as Zelda. But yeah, I mean, there'll be more Zelda content when we're closer to a Zelda game coming out. I am me quarter of the century. I think everyone shouldn't be afraid to be themselves. If you're afraid to be yourself, stop it.  Be proud of who you are. And if you have some issues and stuff you gotta work on, don't be afraid to make you have issues. Work on it, get help. I've had issues, I've had depression, I've had to go through 15 years of therapy. Not in it anymore, things are going good, but I'm always willing to go back to therapy if I feel like I need to. I'm not perfect, but I love who I am. What are you currently playing though? I'm still going through a Sanskrit Valhalla. Dude, Valhalla is massive.  Dude, Valhalla is huge, man. I don't think I'll ever finish that game. So, it's just such a big game. It's such a big game. But that's one thing with these big open world games now. They're getting so big that as a father of three, I just can't get through everything. But you know what? My kids are gonna grow up, they're gonna move out someday, and I'm gonna have all the free time in the world again to game like I'm a teenager again. So, hey, you know what? What goes around comes around, right? Let's see here, let's get the chat caught up. Do any of the other platforms use systems like Nintendo's Gold Points? I don't think so. I think the Gold Point system on Nintendo is unique to Nintendo. I don't think buying digital games on Xbox or PlayStation gives me any currency that I can spend on future games. So, the Gold Point system is kind of unique to Nintendo. It's not a bad system, it's better than nothing. But they have other things that Nintendo doesn't. So, I mean, basic things, like the ability to message friends, lobbies, voice chat, I don't know, just some really basic things. That it's like, oh yeah, Nintendo's got Gold Points. Good job. Here's your gold star today, Nintendo. Now, how about the basic expectations of an online system? Maybe four minutes ago, baby. And we're really close, guys. That countdown's getting there, baby. We're really close, I'll unmute it here when we get to the final 30 seconds. You guys let me know if the volume's good or if I need to adjust it. Adjust the levels. It definitely comes in handy when shopping. Yeah, I mean, there's some games I have bought indie-wise because of the Gold Points that have been kind of nice. So, I'm not complaining about Gold Points. I just wish that we had other features. Like, if the choice was Gold Points or the other features, I'd rather have the other features. That's not really the choice. Nintendo's just doing whatever they wanna do. How long would this be? It should be 30 minutes. 30 minutes long. Roughly. Could go a little over, could be slightly under. You get rewards on Xbox, which can be transferred to currency. Do you? I gotta check my rewards then. Well, I have Game Pass, so that's probably why I haven't noticed on Xbox because I mostly play games on Game Pass. So, you don't really get rewards.  Your reward is you get to play the games. Right? Excursion Comics. You're not in trouble, but please try to keep all religious and political talk out of my chat, okay? I take no offense to it, but we keep religious and political talk out of the chat. Just as a rule, just to remind you, you don't get in trouble the first time it happens, but just to kinda let you know. You do it again, then it'll be a timeout. You do it again, then I gotta ban you. And I hate having to ban people over that kind of stuff. Let's be respectful of all people. All people. No hate. I often wonder why Nintendo always acts so illogically, or can they be thinking, I have no idea, man. Let's see here. The reason I came here is because the chat over here is lagging me, so I can't even watch it. The chat. Oh, the Sony chat. Yeah, I turn off the Sony chat. I don't know if, yeah, I turn off, like I have the Sony chat.  It's in slow mode right now. Oh, man. No, there it goes. It started to pop off. Just wait. There it goes. There it goes. See how crazy that chat is? I just hit this high chat feature in the full screen. But hey, I appreciate you being here. So I think I asked before, how many people here are our first timers? I hope you have a good time. I hope you enjoy your stay here, even if you're not into Nintendo. That's all good. This isn't about Nintendo today. We're here for Sony. All right, here we go. We're gonna unmute it. You guys, let me know what the volume levels are good. Are we good? Oh, we go this way. Let me know if the volume's good. Flee off. Oh, cool, your first time. I hope you enjoy your time here. And if you do, maybe subscribe before the end of the stream. Cool. We're at good levels. Are our good levels? I mean, again, we can adjust it a little bit midstream as well if we have to. Well, let me know. Because some trailers could be louder and quieter as well. So here we go. Here we go, here we go. Stay to play, everyone. Whoa, let's go, baby. First big event of the year. Of June, I should say, not of the year. Misspoke there. Release date already. For what? For what? 324. That could be around the time Zelda's coming out. Resident Evil? A little bit of an upbeat. Rockstar. Resident Evil. That was right the first time. Resident Evil 4, baby! The remake is here. God, I remember playing this on GameCube. Where's Leon, baby? What a start. Resident Evil 4. Looks good. Guess you, me. You're on the spot to vacation, eh? Yeah, but this is the remake. Like they did with Resident Evil 2. This is a remake. We receive our most sacred body. It begins now. Oh! Yes! We got a date, too. 324. March 24th, next year. I just forget what happened that night, even for a second. This time, it can be different. There it is. It has to. There it is, baby. Hell yeah, Capcom. Bringing the goods. Bringing the goods, Capcom. You've been on fire lately. We're still going more? Oh, there'll be VR2 content for the game, too. Okay, okay. Cool. Yes, what a great way to start. State of play returns. And we've got some great PlayStation updates to share with you today. And thanks, Capcom, for kicking it off with Resident Evil 4. Coming to PS5 with PlayStation VR2 content also in development. No, it didn't say exclusive. It did not say exclusive. It's going to Xbox as well, baby. It's going to Xbox as well. It did not say exclusive. Now, let's take a look at him. Wow. Well, Ethan Winters.  Village was so good. Let's see how special you are. Yes, mother. This is gonna be sweet in VR. This is gonna be really cool in VR. Dude, Resident Evil in VR is like the, it's like the perfect kind of VR experience. Just creepy as hell. Wow, that would freak me out in VR, man. That's gonna be so good in VR.  What have you done to ensure the future of this forsaken city?  When death was swallowing this city home, it was I who resurrected it. It was I who shined as a beacon of hope for all. The tower cries out for blood. And I vow to spill it. When the bells ring, the song they sing will be righteous. Yeah, walking dead or something? Retribution? So walk, okay, yeah, okay. Chapter two, chapter two. Tourist. No Man's Sky? Yeah, VR No Man's Sky, right? Yeah, all right, VR No Man's Sky, call that. Cool. We're getting out of the Switch, dude. Not the VR version, but we are getting No Man's Sky. Another VR game? Is this Horizon? And I hate how there's no arms connected to the hands, right? I always throw VR games. Personal safety. Reyes is a good shot. Yeah, and I'll put arrows through both of us. You're switching with me. It's a snap, mom. We're not gonna make it. Blameless Maraud had me released from prison. Redemption is still possible Reyes. Yeah, you know what I mean? Climb the mountain. Looks nice. Horizon always looks nice. Find out why the machines are attacking. This looks decent in VR, man. I was curious if this was just gonna be an on-rails game, but it's got actual combat and stuff. That makes me a little more excited for this one. I'm not even a big VR fan. It will take all your wins. Looks good. Oh yeah, VR 2 is gonna be expensive. It could be as much as a PlayStation 5. Now it is time to play. I'm Ben Macaw, narrative director at Gorilla. I hope you enjoyed your first look at Horizon Call of the Mountain, coming exclusively to PlayStation VR 2. That looked pretty cool. VR is coming a long way, man. Update to Horizon Forbidden West, including New Game Plus, will be available to download on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 today. Oh, look at that shadow drop. New Game Plus, here we go. Performance mode for improved visuals. Kick-ass. Trans-Hog. Reset skills.  There you go, the hardcore are gonna be happy now. Replay with end game gear. New weapons and tro- I would prefer to see new content, of course. For details on this- But I mean, that's so cool. Please check out PlayStation Blog. That's so cool. From all of us at Gorilla, thank you for your continued support and please stay tuned for more updates to come. Move, Link. Get ready, a PlayStation fan favorite is coming to PC.

Do you really need two of those? Let's do it. You are everything that's wrong with this city. I'm gonna go- You can't just push people around like that. Miles. Just for help next time. Time to bring back the glory days. Remastered, baby. Did you just leave your clothes on the kitchen floor? Hell yeah. Hell yeah, remastered for PC. I like that. Not just a straight port, they're remastering it. Good, good, good, good, good. I like that. I like that. You get to play as a cat? Sorry, my dog came really close to accidentally unplugging my camera. I really should just put a dog bed in here that I need to just lay on that. Not actual gameplay. What? Yeah, tell me now it's not actual gameplay. What am I excited about? I hate that, man. It comes out in July, but it wasn't even real gameplay. So then what is this game? Explore a mysterious cyber city in- You do get to play as a cat. So that's cool. So let's go. July 19th, PlayStation Plus extra members and higher can download- What if it's coming out in July then? Why don't we have gameplay? Next month. Like, it literally comes out next month. How are we not seeing gameplay? It said not actual gameplay. That wasn't gameplay. I missed the gameplay when I went to unplug the fan. Or fan. Make sure that my camera wasn't unplugged. Oh well, it's all right. I'll go back and re-watch it later. I'll re-watch it later. Okay guys, I got it. I'll re-watch that trailer later. Like I see the gameplay. Whatever you're holding on to right there. That's your old life. Congrats, Nats. Can't let that go. Because your new life is entirely in my hands. I'm just trying to give you a chance. Nebo, that's for you. This looks good. I just love that let me chills every time. The Callisto Protocol, new IP. All right, it comes out this year. All right. Is the PlayStation exclusive? Damn, that look good. That look good. Bloodsport grips the globe and in the arena. There will only be the victorious and the dead. Wow, there's a bunch of enemies in the escape park, but let's go. Yeah, this doesn't look half bad. The other PlayStation exclusive, August 16th. It's been a pretty good show so far. The enemy of that one, what was that other game? Where the arm would more, you guys catch that joke that they threw in there. This looks good. I wonder if this is what I think it is. Eternites, Eternites? I don't know. 2023 PlayStation exclusive. Looks good. Looks good. New IP. Action games and dating sims collide in Eternites. Coming to PS5 and PS4 next year. Action games and dating sims. Love it. Let's go. Let's go. Let's do it. Let's do it. Natural city. Let's go. Let's go. Here it is, guys. Rumor came true. Rumor came true. It's not like a game. This journey doesn't have a real end. There you go. Rumor confirmed. Street Fighter 6. Hope you're ready to begin. You want to start off in the right foot in this city. Hit the streets. Yeah. Hate that I do this. Never feel lose. And when I get a base, true. And if you think I'm going for it. That was a banger song right there. The music alone makes me want to play. And I don't even like fighting games. Let me have some fun. Ready? And show me. I'm liking some of this painting art stuff in there. Dude, this state of play is a banger. This might be the best one I've seen.  This is such a banger. Dude, Sony's bringing it today. It's like eight minutes ago. Hot damn. What a way to start June with the showcases. Street Fighter 6 gameplay. Mark your calendars. It comes to PS5 and PS4 in 2023. Should be multi-planned. Now it's time for two adventures arriving later this year. They're getting tunic. OK. Tunic better be coming to switch. That's all I'm saying. If it's coming to play, it better be coming to switch. It's Xbox. Now it's better be coming to switch. Tunic is so good.  There will be a news update later today. This is going to all platforms. I mean, good for PlayStation. This game's incredible. I mean, this could be indie game of the year. This game is incredible. September 27. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. But this better mean it's also coming to switch. If it's going multi-planned, no reason switch can't run tunic. She set out to record life at the end of the season to make it real for people in the future. She asked us about living together. And we asked her about traveling alone. When the season turns, what will remain? This is just a pretty game to live in. Only what she saw. What she captured. Take photos. That's all I'm dead. She carries the sounds of the season with her. The sounds of the season. Is she like a videographer? Is that a good sound? The way she listened made you want to tell her everything.  It's a very pretty game. When the season ends, is it going? It has a feeling like one of those really pretty, maybe like super emotional games. Very artistic. Got them wrong with it. It's the first game they've had. It'd be different if the whole season a little bit. Yeah, it'd be different if the whole state of play was that. But that's just like, you know, one of them. That looked really nice. Hey, Final Fantasy XVI. Hey! Final Fantasy XVI? Let's go! Is this what they're ending with, baby? This is the PlayStation mix. Here we go. Interviews with the media. OK. Please say you're just saying... Please say you're not coming here to say you're not going to show it. Come on. Yes! Trail it. Let's go. Let's go. So they're going to be starting to mediate. Is this going to be their big holiday game? Is this going to be Sony's big holiday game? Do you want to enjoy one of those? Those that would fight back after they control all their fate. OK? Makes us that it's immaculate. What about all these dragon feel itself? Going to be another war, isn't there? A brings us closer to disaster. We must move now. Those facial animations were really good. Just combat. The chaos he would wreak would sweep all of Valistheir into the abyss. This looks incredible.  Maybe a little, uh, imprimatur action then? Dude, if that's... That's probably a cutscene, but... If you can have an epic battle like that, that would be sick.  What is happening? There's Titan battles? What? There's like Godzilla battles going on. What is happening? They did not say exclusive on RE4, but we don't know. We don't know. Oh, this looks incredible. This looks incredible. Wow. Reveal the estate? Or is it not this year? Awaken child of fate. The music was incredible. Summer, summer next year, okay. So it's the next year game. It's not the big holiday one. Is that it? Is that how they're ending the show then? And that's a wrap? Yeah, don't forget to visit PlayStation 4 to see more about today's announcements. See you next time. Wow. Wow. Wow. Sony just set the bar for showcases. They set the bar for showcases. Wow. That was good. That is the best state of play I have ever seen. Is that, that might be the best state of play of all time. That was incredible. That was incredible. Sony brought it. That was an incredible state of play. What else is there to say? That was, in my opinion, the best state of play like they've ever had. Yes, a lot of third party games. There were some exclusives shown off in there. Great announcements. Even the VR announcement. You would figure, oh, maybe the VR announcements would drag it down. All the VR games looked incredible. That was a really damn good state of play. I don't know that I could ask, we could ask to see God of War and a bunch of other games that they have in the world. We could ask to see more. Of course, we can be disappointed that maybe you didn't see your favorite games. But what we did get was incredible. New game announcements, Street Fighter 6, Resident Evil 4 Remake. Technically we knew the remake was coming. But still, we got to see it. It looked incredible. Resident Evil Village and VR looked incredible. Final Fantasy 16 looked incredible. There wasn't basically a bad game in this whole show. Hot damn. And if we just jumped to 400 view, why are we getting so many viewers? What's going on? Why are we getting so many viewers? Did we get raided? I don't know how raids work on YouTube. Somehow we jumped to 400 viewers. Well, welcome everyone. That was an amazing state of play. Even the stray game. I got to watch that stray trailer. Hold on. Because I missed it because I was dealing with my dog. Let's rewatch that stray trailer, the cat one. Let's see here. Stray trailer. It should be up on. It should be up and able to watch right now. 17 minutes ago. Nope, that's, oh here it is. Yep, right here. They got the trailer for stray. I missed the gameplay for stray. So let's rewatch stray quick. Let's rewatch stray quick because I missed it. I want to make sure that I see the gameplay for this one. So we're rewatching stray because I missed this announcement. You ended up here after the show. That's awesome. Well, hey guys, welcome to my channel, man. We are primarily a Nintendo channel, but we cover everything. We cover everything. And this was the best state of play to date. The best state of play to date. Well, since you guys are here, she'll let you know we have an amazing show coming up called Prime Gaming Fest.

We partnered with a whole bunch of companies. It's a really big event. It's all live streamed. I hope you guys want to come in and tune in for that. We have a bunch of special guests. We got Jake Randall coming on. We got HMK. We got special Nick from Xbox Era coming on. It's going to be a really, really, really big show. I hope you guys tune in. Starts next week. June 9th at 9 a.m. We'll be reacting to all the big stuff. God, that looked really good. Stray looked good. I get why people were hyped for Stray. Stray looked really good. I get why some people were hyped for that. No, I don't like cats. So, sue me. But Stray looked really good. It's not like it's a real cat, so. So what are you guys' thoughts on the state of play? What are you guys thinking? It was good for sure. Is this a YouTube stream or a Twitch? I'm YouTube, baby. We're on YouTube. I'd appreciate likes and subscriptions and all that. We're on our road to 80,000 subscribers. A big event coming up at Prang Gaming Fest. I can even show you guys some of the stuff we're giving away, if you want. We got a lot of stuff. Oh, my son. My son's in the background. One second. Oh, my son's so cute sometimes. He was wondering where his brother went with a friend.  What's going on around me? I didn't even know what was happening. I can actually, I'm about to take my headphones off. Yeah, he's like, what's going on? I got, I'm a father of three. About two of my kids are gone right now. Did I expect God of War? I did not expect God of War. I can tell you right now, I personally did not expect God of War. We kind of knew ahead of time it was gonna be a lot of PS VR games and games from third-party companies. God of War is not made by a third-party company because Sony owns the studio.  I did not expect any of that. So that was not an expectation for me. E3 is not happening this year. No. Summer Game Fest is happening. Prime Gaming Fest is happening. We have the Xbox show on the 12th where we live stream and we're live reacting to that getting special guest, special Nikon to come talk to us about all of that. He's from the Xbox era podcast. You know, we got lots of stuff going on. There's so much. We're live reacting to everything. We'll be back at it for limited-run games on the sixth. We'll be back at it again on Monday for limited-run games. There's gonna be some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stuff there. But I did not expect God of War. I can tell you that. I thought that was the best state of play to date. Personal opinion, best state of play Sony's ever put together. Steady drop-ins at zero out of 10. So boring. I don't know how anyone liked that. If they didn't have games for you, like that's the beauty of opinions and taste. Someone could, I guess, legitimately watch and give it a zero out of 10. I don't know how you can give it a zero. I think it's a little harsh. I thought it was the best they've ever done. But everyone likes different games. That's the beauty of the video game industry is we all just like vastly different things, you know? Like when I told people that my second favorite, my second and third favorite franchise is after the Legend of Zelda are Age of Empires and Total War, there are a lot of you that are probably like, man, Age of Empires and Total War, really? Really? What? Some of you might even go Zelda?  Like, dude, we all have our personal taste, right? I just happen to enjoy a really wide swath of games. Like Street Fighter 6 was a really hype announcement. I'm never gonna play it because I don't like fighting games. But I can even admit it looked really cool. Not even a game I'm interested in playing and I can tell that it looks really cool. Hopefully it holds up.  But it looks really good from what we were able to glean from it right now. The RE4 remake is Spring 2023, so it was worthwhile too. Yep, yep, 3.24 for RE4 remake in the Mario movie. Is it possible Switch 2 will come in that time from RE4 will be on? I'm not gonna go there. Maybe we can speculate on Switch 2 later tonight when we do our night stream, but we're not gonna do any speculation right now with that. Let me see, way better than the last one. Yeah, the last one, I didn't think it was very good. The last day to play, I thought it was kinda, we coulda did without it. They coulda skipped it. Eight out of 10 for me. What killed it was Street Fighter being an exclusive. I love fighting games and I'm not buying a PS just to play Street Fighter. I don't, do we know, is Street Fighter 6 actually exclusive? You gotta remember, in the state of play, they're not gonna show other people's logos. But is Street Fighter 6 exclusive?  Let me look up here. Yeah, I don't know if we have any confirmation on it being an exclusive or not. I'm trying to look up information here. I'm not seeing anything confirming it's exclusive. I know it was rumored to be exclusive, but I'm not seeing any official confirmation. So I would not think that's gonna be exclusive. I would presume it's not. Until we hear otherwise, I would presume it's not. The last Street Fighters weren't, I don't know why this one would be. Like, 30-5 was and their partnership. See, Street Fighter 5, no, keep in mind, I'm not a big fighting game fan, so my knowledge on fighting games is fairly limited. So Street Fighter 5 was also available as an arcade unit and then available on PC, but it was console exclusive to PlayStation 4. That's probably where the Street Fighter 6 rumors come from is console exclusivity because 5 was, but we haven't had a confirmation, you know? Let's see here. Okay, all right, hey, I got an update for you guys. So Street Fighter 6, from the official website, there is a data leak from the official website that lists PlayStation and Xbox. So it does look like Street Fighter 6 will also be on Xbox as well. So it does look like, according to a data leak of the Street Fighter 6 website, that it is going to be on both platforms, PlayStation and Xbox. Again, State of Plays aren't gonna mention Xbox. They're not gonna mention Switch, just like Tunic. The Tunic trailer only had PlayStation at the end. Yeah, but Tunic's on Xbox, right? It was on Xbox first. So could be coming to Switch, wouldn't know here. That would be an announcement and like a Nintendo Direct or something. So yeah, Street Fighter 6 looks like it's gonna be multi-plat, at least for Xbox and PlayStation. Again, don't expect it on Switch, but Xbox and PlayStation are gonna be getting Street Fighter 6. It looks like from a data leak. Can't confirm it. We're talking about a data leak, but it does look like it's multi-plat. Dude, yeah, Final Fantasy, guys. Final Fantasy 6, dude, what when? So Final Fantasy is almost always a very pretty game, but when they went from some of the facial animations, it looked incredible. And then when they went into the combat, I was like, okay, this action combat is great. And then all of a sudden they zoom out and there's Titan battles. And I'm like, what? Okay. Okay. Yup. Yup. I have to own a PlayStation 5 before this. I did own a PlayStation 5 at one point. I didn't sell it because I wanted to. But we are getting a new PlayStation 5 this year. Definitely will have it in time for summer next year. And we'll be playing some Final Fantasy 16, baby. Dude, that looked incredible. I've been really into Final Fantasy for a lot of time. I didn't play, I didn't play, I kind of skipped.  Still one of my favorite Final Fantasies. I didn't really play 13, 14, but I'm really looking forward to 15. I didn't do the online game. I really enjoyed Crystal Chronicles back in the day. Didn't like the remake of Crystal Chronicles on, you know, the remastered one they did. I didn't like that. I thought they bastardized Final Fantasy and Crystal Chronicles. Playing Final Fantasy 8 completely on PC. I am a bit of a sinner. I have never played Final Fantasy 7 in any form. And yes, I do feel bad about that. I do feel bad that I haven't played Final Fantasy 7 in any form. But when I get my PlayStation 5, you best believe I'm gonna get all of the Final Fantasy 7 remake content and play that. Maybe someday I'll go back and play the original, compare it to my experience with the remake. But yeah, it's a pretty big gaming sin. I fully admit.  When I say I did not play Final Fantasy 7. But in Final Fantasy 7, even on Switch, like it's available on Switch, the original Final Fantasy 7. So yeah. I'm probably gonna experience it first with the remake and someday I'll go back and play the classic and see which one I prefer. I already know all the major story elements. It's not like I haven't seen things spoiled over the years. And seen videos and seen gameplay. So like most of Final Fantasy 7 has been spoiled for me story-wise. But I definitely, when I get my PS5, will be jumping all the hell over Final Fantasy 7 as well. And finally, no longer using the excuse of, oh, I just didn't own that system back in the day. I was a SNES guy. I was a N64. No, I don't have an excuse anymore because I play on everything. There's no excuse. The excuse is done. Your PS5 will get some love again with these releases and I can get my Series X and switch or break. Nice. Why don't you just watch Let's Plays of it? It says N-worder for life. So I'm always curious. When people watch Let's Plays, like the prerecorded ones, not the live streams are more of an event. Like when you watch someone play a game live, there's a community event aspect to it. But when you watch a prerecorded Let's Play, I honestly don't understand the appeal.  What's the appeal? I'm honestly asking. My kids like watching Let's Plays as well and they can't explain to me why it's fun. There's times they'd rather watch a Let's Play than play a game and I don't get that. I've been gaming for 30 years, more than 30 years. And I don't understand the appeal of watching prerecorded Let's Plays. I just don't, I don't get it. I don't get it. Like the time I'm spending, the hours you can spend watching that game, I could just play that game. Now I understand if it's a Let's Play of a game on a system you don't own, I can see maybe a little bit of an appeal there because you feel like it might be the only way you can experience the game because you can't afford it. But I'm not in that position where I can't afford a game. It's like, I don't have an excuse. Right, if I'm watching a Let's Play, maybe I'll tune in for like 10 minutes to see if the game looks good then I dip the hell out and go buy it. I don't know. That's me though. This isn't me knocking people that enjoy Let's Plays. That's just not, that's just never been my cup of tea. Just call me NWO as the name is New World Order for life, for, I know what the NWO is, God. I grew up, attitude era, and NWO, oh my God, just, I don't watch the stuff anymore. So any of the modern stuff I don't watch in WWE or AEW or any of that stuff, but I grew up around that stuff my whole life. It's just easier, you don't have to work into watching a Let's Play. Don't have to poop. I mean, just admit you don't like playing video games and move on then, right? You don't have to put work in. So you don't have to play the game.  Like that, like I see that, like it's easier. By the way, if that's the way you want to enjoy games be my guest, if you want to enjoy watching them instead of playing be my guest, I just don't get the appeal. Playing video games is the fun.  Watching someone else play it just makes me want to play it. It doesn't make me go, yeah, I'm just going to enjoy the whole game through this Let's Play. Why? Why? A live stream I understand. Because in a live stream, there's a community aspect to the gameplay, right? There's a community feel. There could be special entertaining things that happen exclusively in live streams. I understand live stream, watching people play games on live stream. I just don't get pre-recorded Let's Plays. I never will. If that's the way you want to enjoy video games be my guest, to me video games are meant to be played not watched. But that's personal taste. That's all personal taste. A few reasons watching games I'd never play because they just frustrate me. Creator commentary and reliving my favorite games vicariously through others. Well, I mean, reliving games is one thing. If you already played a game and beat it, like I can understand that. Like, hey, I don't want to go through playing and beating this game again. I already did, I'm playing other stuff. But hey, you know, putting it on in the background while I'm doing homework and kind of reliving some of my favorite moments. Like, sure, that part I can understand. The creator commentary, you're not going to vary creator to creator. Like, I know Game Grumps is super popular for some of their Let's Plays. And like, a lot of it isn't really the games. It's their commentary, right? They're entertaining ways they talk about things. Like, so, I can get some of that. It's just not for me. It's just not my cup of tea. Finally found some of his Let's Games in Eric. What happens? If I just start a game, I just drop it. I mean, yeah.   And then you never play it again. And it's like, oh, I wasted my money on that. But hey, you know. Same thing happens, like, when you go to a movie. Like, you go to a movie theater. Like, we force ourselves to sometimes just sit through movies we're not enjoying because we already paid to be there, right?  So it's like, what are you gonna do? It's the way I feel about people watching sports. I much rather prefer to go out to the park and play baseball or basketball than ever watching human TV. There's a couple. So this is where I could understand the Let's Play aspect if you wanna compare it to sports. So I'd rather play sports, too. But the bottom line is I can't play sports at the highest level, especially anymore. I mean, I'm at 30, he's got bad knees. But I still like to play sports. I still have shooting hoops, you know, I still play it. But there is something about watching the highest level of competition in a sport that I know I can't do. And because I know how hard it is, having that level of appreciation and joy and watching that highest level of play. And that is one reason why I think streamers like Ninja and Dr. Disrespect and others got really big because they play games at the highest level, a level I know I can't attain and there's a level of appreciation and entertainment in watching the best of the best do what they do. So if you wanna compare it to like a sport thing, I can see that, you know, if it's a Let's Play of somebody that's just at a skill level at a game that you just can't attain or don't have the time to attain, maybe there's that level of appreciation, you know? Like when you're watching someone go through Elden Ring or Dark Souls or something, like maybe it's too hard for you. You know, or like a Let's Play of like Zelda II. Like maybe it's too hard for you. But you have, because you know how difficult it is, you have that level of appreciation watching a master play the game and watching them do all these crazy things that maybe you wish you could do. I can see them or maybe there's some entertainment there. Morbius, Starfield, let me talk about Xbox games there. Why is it that Sony can continue to turn on high quality games and Xbox can't put out a single AAA exclusive? I'm sorry, did we not just get Halo Infinite? Am I, I've been like revisionist history here. Did Sony not have a big exclusive for the holidays and Microsoft and Halo Infinite? Did the Forza 5 not happen either? I'm confused. I seem to recall that we just had a couple of bangers for Microsoft not that long ago. Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite. Why are we just ignoring that Xbox has games too? I don't, I don't get it. Like it's like, oh, we're all excited for Sony. When's the last time Sony released a really big game? Exclusively on their platform. When's the last time that actually happened? Was it a Returnal last summer? Like, when was the last one? Horizon Forbidden West, maybe? Probably Horizon Forbidden West. That one came after Returnal, right? I'm just checking that one came after Returnal. I'm pretty sure that one came this year, didn't it? Yeah, that came this year. That was that was the this year game, February. So we had February. So we had Horizon Forbidden West in February, which is cool. We had Halo Infinite in November. Like neither of the, neither one of the platforms are like consistently releasing bangers right now. They're heavily reliant on third parties, but that's wait. Like, like here's what I'm saying. Horizon Forbidden West came out cool. Cool, nothing wrong with that. Great game. Let's wait now. Sony just had an incredible state of play. Microsoft goes on June 12th. We're 10 days away from Microsoft doing their showcase. Can we just, can we be fair and give the benefit? Oh, Sony just, Sony just did their showcase. Well, yeah, Sony just had had the best state of play I've ever seen. Now let's wait, Microsoft, we have a date. We know when Microsoft is showing games. 10 days from now, Microsoft is gonna show what they got. So let's be fair. Let's not sit here and start to bash Xbox in 2022 when we've gotten a single PlayStation game. Let's, let's wait. Let's wait, okay? Xbox goes in 10 days.  Let's wait and be fair and allow Microsoft to show what they got first. Before we start passing judgment this year, let's let Microsoft show what they got, all right? That's what I'm saying. We need to wait. Sony, today is Sony's day and they were incredible. Now let's wait for Microsoft. They're the next console maker up June 12th. Let's see what they got. Let's see what they got, okay? See what they got. And Gran Turismo too, sure. And again, but Rock and Rob, here's what I'll say to that. So they had Gran Turismo in Horizon Forbidden West this year. Nothing wrong with that, really good. But then Microsoft ended last year before Sun Halo and Sony had nothing, 10 of the year. So like, it's almost as if, hey, Xbox had an advantage during the holidays last year. Sony had advantage to start this year. Isn't that kind of a wash? I feel like that's kind of a wash. Halo and Forza, GT, Forbidden West, all of them came out within six months of each other. I think we can just let that kind of be a wash, right? Like I think we need to wait now. Yes, the future for PlayStation this year and in 2023 looks pretty good, looks pretty good. Now, Xbox's turn. Let's wait and see what Xbox has going on. So what's that? Just like Nintendo, I can tell you about your Nintendo games coming, but you know, once we get past press a lot too, I have no idea what's happening. Wait, for Nintendo's turn, let's find out, you know? I agree, like I said earlier, it's because people like to talk, Xbox users are granted because they are free with Game Pass.  When you pay for something, it's not free. We just had, I just had this argument, I didn't interrupt my podcast with Eric, where he's like, oh well, no, if you subscribe to the service specifically to get games, the promise of games is why you pay the money. Without the games, you don't pay the money. So it's not free, we pay to get those games. Netflix shows aren't free, you're paying Netflix to make those shows. The money you subscribe with, let's Netflix make shows. Stranger things season four happens because we are subscribed to Netflix. Just saying, just saying. It ain't free if you can't access it without paying money. Can't access these games on Game Pass unless you pay money, but it ain't free. Games aren't free on Xbox. It is really cool though. Game Pass is a really cool service. And PlayStation Plus' new thing they're doing, their ultimate and all this, it's okay. Hey, Void, I don't think offense to what you said, but let's not be so cruel as to talk about like physical punishment onto people for console warring. Like, let it go, it ain't worth it. Oh, we got about four or five minutes to go on the stream here. I will be back live streaming tonight. Shooting the shit, Q and A, and we'll probably talk more about the state of play and other gaming news that happened today. We'll be doing shots and everything on stream, on our night streams. We take super chats for shots. So people can do like $2, $5, $10, we can do different levels of shots. Have a good time, have some drinks.  It'll be a good time. But we'll be doing that in about two to two and a half hours from now. But we're gonna be taking a break here. I gotta go get dinner made for my son and all that. And get my other kids to get back from the house they're at then I gotta get them ready for bed and everything. So yeah, I gotta go be a dad for a little while, but we'll come back and stream again later tonight. Well, I know it's not free, but I was trying to make my comments short so you aren't reading a page. Dude, I don't care how long your comments are, man. Don't worry about it, man. Dude, I write paragraphs. When I'm typing things out in chat or forums or even on Discord, dude, I write paragraphs. It's not a big deal. It's a Fallout New Vegas meme. I know, it's okay, I'm aware of the meme. You're fine, man, you're fine. We just don't like to promote that kind of stuff. We know violence and gore and all this stuff is like all part of video games, but when we're talking about other people, we try to be as respectful as possible, even in the meme world. You're all good, though. So Thursday next week for the direct. No, no, not happening. I know, Corey, you're all sold on this train that we're magically gonna get it direct the same day as Summer Game Fest. It's just not happening. Nintendo at least likes the day to themselves. June 14th, telling you. Yeah, we're getting a lot of those bots in here now. I hate bots, man. AstroChain, you hope the AstroChain tune was true. I hope the direct is further out than we think because I don't want to miss it. June 14th, telling you. June 14th, okay. We got a couple minutes to go. I wanna thank Natsu for the gold badge. Being a member for over a year, that's awesome. Thank you so much for hitting that join button and becoming a member. And take our 6-10 for the $2 Super Chat earlier. I do appreciate the support. You guys are awesome. I know FireSlay, you've been really quick today.  And I still try to figure out, before I step out, what, is anyone still here? Like what video were you watching that kicked you to my live stream?  Because out of nowhere, the state of play ended and we had, we doubled our viewership. We were at 200 live and then we jumped to 400. And I was like, because YouTube has a raid feature now so we could send people other places. But when I end this stream, it's gonna kick you guys to day one of Prime Gaming Fest so you can go set your notifications and drop a like on it. That's just what we do at the end of our streams because we're promoting Prime Gaming Fest because we wanna make sure people don't miss out on the giveaways and everything that we're doing. But that, we do that on purpose because we take advantage of the raid feature. Mark says, yeah, it brought me here after the official English, that's so weird.  It brought you here after the official stream.  Well, we're probably gonna put subscriber only mode on here in the Prime Gaming Fest because of the bots. We're gonna have, last year when we did a similar event, we called it the E3 extravaganza. We had like 700 plus people live the whole time. So we've had, we've had 1,200 plus live when we gave away Switch OLED last year.  Maybe some streams that do really well sometimes. It'll be a summer camp for the last two days. Oh, that happens. You are watching Iron Lord's podcast. All right, well thanks for tuning in guys. I'll be back live again in a couple hours. You know, two hours, two and a half hours. I will get the live stream set up here once I get dinner made for my kids and we'll recap state of play. And we'll talk about some other stuff as well. Other gaming news that happened, Nintendo news, whatever, we'll talk about whatever happens to be on the news wire today. I didn't get a video out today like I normally do. It was just another crazy planning day for Prime Gaming Fest. A lot of stuff, a lot of cogs moving behind the scenes. But man, next week's gonna be a crazy week guys. So see you guys again later tonight. I hope you guys decided to come back to Nintendo Prime. If you're brand new, I hope you decide to subscribe to the channel. I hope you enjoy my personality, the show, the opinions, the talk, the community. I hope you guys all enjoy it, even if you're not Nintendo fans. And I hope you decide to subscribe to my channel, Nintendo Prime. I do my best to be fair to everything here. So catch you guys later guys. Peace out.
