We're moving story number seven, which is going to be our good news outro, up to story number two. Next, Tony Hawk's pro skater game to launch this summer.

Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
The next Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game is reportedly going to be released this summer, seemingly back up the claims of another Pro Skater earlier this week who said that a new one is coming. According to Leaker Extras 1S, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 Plus 4, known internally at Microsoft as Project Chicago, will launch in June during Microsoft's currently unannounced Xbox Summer Showcase presentation.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
It will reportedly be shadow-dropped on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, as well as Game Pass. The leaker couldn't confirm if the game is coming to Switch 2, however. Yesterday, Pro Skater Tyshawn Banana Jones claimed that he was in an upcoming Tony Hawk Pro Skater game, even though Activision had not announced a new one yet.

Some version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 Plus 4 was reportedly rejected by Activision after the launch of 1 and 2 in 2020, but things may have changed under Microsoft's leadership since then. Then there's more stuff we're going to skip out of that, though, right?

Season 02 Reloaded of Black Ops 6 launched today, adding two multiplayer maps along with other content, including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which we have a trailer for we're going to watch later because we got bad news and then we're getting some fun stuff. One of the newly added maps is Grind, a returning multiplayer map that previously featured in Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 4.

The map is a skate park in Venice, California. Players, including Charlie Intel, have spotted that inside a skate shop located in the map, there's a poster on the wall reading 03-04-25. Of course, if you are an international listener, for us that'd be March 4th. I know you go April 3rd, but that's not how we do it here. Inside a logo that looks similar to those of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series.

Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
The gloves are off in a high stakes lawsuit involving Sony, Bungie and the veteran Bungie developer Christopher Barrett, who in December sued the gaming giant over what he alleges was a sham investigation that led to his firing over alleged misconduct.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
In Sony's first substantive response to the lawsuit, the company is denying Barrett's claims and leaving zero doubt that it believes that termination last year of Barrett's 25 year run at Bungie was justified.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
To emphasize its position, Sony's initial answer to Barrett's suit also includes nine text communications between Barrett and female Bungie employees that it claims, quote, reveal his pattern of misconduct.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
In December, Barrett, a longtime senior designer on Destiny and former head of Bungie's upcoming marathon project, sued Bungie and its owner Sony for defamation and breach of contract, among other claims.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Barrett slammed Bungie's investigation, denying that he committed a fireable offense and accused Sony of letting him go in order to deny him more than $45 million that Barrett was to be paid as a result of Bungie's 2022 purchase of Bungie. No, to be paid as part of Sony's purchase of Bungie. I felt like I screwed up my head. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Sony's new 128-page filing, technically an answer to Barrett's lawsuit, is largely a line-by-line response to December's claim. It was entered into the docket by the Delaware State Court of Chancery last week and was reviewed by GameFile. The new filing begins what is essentially a preview of Sony's pending motion to dismiss six of the seven counts in Barrett's lawsuit.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
The document states that in Sony's view, Barrett was terminated last March following HR complaints and investigation that allegedly revealed a pattern of behavior in which Barrett supposedly, quote, targeted a lower-level female employee he wasn't working with directly, initially engaged in friendly conversation, and progressively pushed boundaries with the employee by making subtle references to her physical appearance or expressing his interest in her romantically.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Barrett attempted to create an unprofessional level of intimacy with his victims, end quote. To support this, Sony's filings include excerpts of nine written communications, texts, DMs, etc., including the following. Barrett similarly told Victim 3, quote, I hope your boyfriend doesn't mind I text you a lot. And I just worry. Like, I really enjoy texting you and talking.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
I don't want him to get the right idea. I don't want him to get the right idea. Later in the conversation, when Victim 3 told Barrett she was busy, Barrett stated, quote, I want your attention. So annoying, end quote. And then there's a lot more going on here, right? Or is this? No, this is actually Steven's writing. I'm sorry. And then he goes and dot dot.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Just three weeks into victim five tenure at Bungie, Barrett called her late in the evening while drunk and told her intimate details about his personal life and asked her about who she was dating and what her quote unquote type was. He sent her a personal Instagram follow request to connect that night, which she did not accept.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Barrett's side is calling foul on the filing, saying the texts are incomplete and don't amount to a fireable offense. In a statement to Game File, Barrett's lawyers blasted Sony's account in full.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Quote, quote, Sony continues to disingenuously cherry pick text messages and alleged conversations and make unsupported and conclusionary statements to defame Christopher and justify terminating him to avoid paying him what he was owed on his employment agreements.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
It is telling that Sony does not include the full text messages as exhibits or the full context, no content of these conversations and nothing in Sony's response provides a legitimate legal or factual basis to terminate Christopher's cause. Christopher is confident that when all the evidence is presented, it will be clear. Sony engaged in a scheme to strip him of his role and his equity.

Uh, he earned in his 25 years of loyal service to the company, a lot more reporting from Steven to tell a great work. And then that sums it up like this.
Kinda Funny Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast
Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
Barrett's argument, per his December lawsuit, is that Sony fired him to spare themselves from paying out what GameFile calculates was around $84 million in bonuses that he was promised when Sony, charged up by a deal spree that saw Microsoft grabbing Activision and Take-Two buying Zynga, purchased Bungie for $3.7 billion. Jesus, what a mess this all is.

Predicting Next Week’s Pokemon Presents! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.20.25
As Stephen's actual summary said, which wasn't that, but his actual sign-off is like it's very much a they-said-they-said argument here, where that'll actually end up. Who knows if this will actually get to court, if it's just going to be settled out of court, yada, yada, yada. But more than anything, it's

Why this made waves yesterday and headlines yesterday was rather than quietly answering this, Sony's like, let's fucking go. Here's what, 128 pages I said thing line by line. Here's this thing. Here's this fucking thing. Like, clearly they're not ready to roll over. They think they can.
