Chapter 1: What is the main focus of PlayStation's State of Play?
...a state of play. Death Stranding is getting its own special event and Stellar Blade is getting stellar sales. And Greg Miller is cashing in stars in the bank on my dumb ass. Banana. We'll have all this and more because this is kind of funny games daily. I hate him. Yeah. I just hate him. He does that. He does stuff. Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Tuesday, February 11th, 2025.
Of course, I'm your host, Tim Geddes. I am joined today by the new face of video games, Blessing Adeoye Jr. Good day, Tim. Good day to you as well. State of play, Eve. Eve. Always a fun time. Predictions will flow. We will discuss things. Maybe we're right. Maybe we're wrong. But no matter what, we're going to have a good time tomorrow.
Chapter 2: What predictions do Tim and Blessing have for the upcoming State of Play?
We're gonna have a good time tomorrow. I think so. And we'll talk about it when we get to the story. But I think, I know I'm gonna have a good time because my expectations rock bottom. I'm like, I don't expect anything. Yeah, exactly. We'll get into it in the story. But even that, I'm like, that seems like too much. I don't know. Anything right now. It's February.
If y'all have any predictions, please super chat them in and we will judge them. We will decide, do we think they will happen, won't happen? Do we think that they're stuff we want to happen? Or... Bis zum nächsten Mal. Bis zum nächsten Mal. Ihr werdet es gerade auf dem Videobereich zerstören.

Chapter 3: What new details are we expecting for Death Stranding 2?
Chapter 4: Will we see Ghost of Tsushima 2 at the State of Play?
Death Stranding 2, I think the things they've shown have been so cinematic. And so we've not really seen the gameplay breakdown of this game. And I don't know if we're even going to get that. Maybe I guess we get that at South by Southwest. But because it's been so cinematic heavy, because it's a Kojima game, it's different from other games where by now with any other game,
Du bekommst den Cinematik-Trailer, du bekommst den Gameplay-Trailer, du bekommst den Release-Date-Trailer. Mit Kojima und Death Stranding bekommst du den Cinematik-Trailer, dann einen Cinematik-Trailer, dann einen anderen Cinematik-Trailer. Ich weiß nicht, wie nah oder weit sich das Ganze anfühlt. Ich denke, es fühlt sich an, als ob es zwischen morgen oder dem South by Southwest-Event fühlt.
I would think that one of those will have the release date. I'm leaning more towards the South by Southwest thing. But either way, that's in the next month.
Here's, I guess, why I'm putting my 51% on this. I'm hearing voices in my head, Bless. Oh, Randy Orton. Five little men, okay? And they're telling me something. It's gonna be May. It's gonna be May, Bless. I'm thinking May for Death Stranding. I don't know why. That just feels right to me.
And if that's the case, you announce the release date tomorrow and then this is more of a get the hype going, get the press going, pre-orders and all of that, right? Lucky, for sure. But there's just something about it that Death Stranding 2 feels close to me. I mean, I'm with you. That's the thing.
It feels close. I just don't know why it feels close to me this way. But... I'm with you that in the next month we will know the Death Stranding 2 release date. Either here or South by Southwest. And I think, no matter what, I won't say no matter what, but the vibe I get from PlayStation nowadays, and even from Kojima, if you're going to announce a release date, that shit is around the corner.
I don't think they're going to announce a release date for November 15th or whatever it is. I think if you were going to say a date, I'm expecting...
May or June or July. Now what's interesting about that though is we have started to see an interesting trend that feels pretty unfamiliar for the last decade of games of people kind of shooting their shot and calling dates that are way ahead of where they...
used to kind of do that donkey kong country returns being an example of like they called that shit like six months out or something like a specific date in a different calendar year which was really interesting um and then with metal gear solid at this point too like uh you know it leaked a week ago but let's say it announces tomorrow a date in august that just seems pretty far out there you know compared to how games in a um i would say even like a slightly pre-pandemic but definitely pandemic and post-pandemic worlds

Chapter 5: What remakes and remasters are likely to be announced?
Like, I think Kojima Productions can drop this whenever they want, and PlayStation's gonna be like, well, yeah, we're gonna give you the freedom to do that because you're Kojima. So it's hard to pinpoint even how this would fit into a PlayStation strategy. So, yeah, I'm with you of, like,
cool they they could say may just for the around the corner like cool now let's really ramp up our marketing we have a state of play here we have we have a south by southwest thing in a in a month right and like really get that going the reason why i think i still lean towards the south by southwest like for more info on death stranding is because they're announcing it like right before state of play yeah i feel like that's the thing you would follow up a state of play with i think to announce it here it is playstation
Wie viele Mal haben sie etwas gezeigt und dann sofort mehr Informationen gegeben? Das ist wahr. Aber ich fühle mich fast, als ob du ein bisschen untercuttert bist. Hey, wir haben eine Death Stranding 2 Sache später. Jetzt hier ist ein State of Play. Es ist so, dass ich dann nicht meine automatische Antwort habe. Ich erwarte nicht, dass ich Death Stranding 2 im State of Play sehe.
Wenn du mir sagst, dass es ein großes Event für es wird.
Ja, ich meine, wir werden es sehen. Ich denke nicht, dass wir es erwarten sollten, aber ich denke, wir sollten uns überrascht machen, wenn es da ist. Das ist das, wo ich mit Death Stranding 2 bin. Lass uns ein paar Superchats hier machen.
Bevor du das tust, möchte ich ein paar mehr Dinge ausdrücken, weil wir über MGS3 gesprochen haben. Wir werden das morgen sehen. Ja, sicher. Lost Soul Aside. Lost Soul Aside. Das ist ein Spiel, das ist... Yeah, it's one of them ones.
It's a PlayStation, they do their, I think they do their China Hero Project, but I think they also have like, they have an India Hero Project, I think maybe a Korea Hero Project, but correct me if I'm wrong. I forget which one of those that this is part of, but basically this game looks like if Final Fantasy married
near or something right like you look at this looks like final fantasy yes okay this was one of the first ones that came out that like graphically were like what the fuck oh here we go china hero project so yeah this is a game that's out of china uh playstation of course see this sees this game and wants to go hey we want to help you fund your project and get this out and partner with you looks like it's running on switch right now though yeah i don't know what's up with this trailer the game doesn't really look like this
Okay, yeah, it still looks like it's a little bit choppy, but it's fine.

Chapter 6: What can we expect from third-party games in the showcase?
That's right, that's right.
I forget, there's like a big-name developer, or big-name, like, lead designer that's working on this.
And this is the one that, like, as they, like, set up the trailer, it sounds like one of those, like, impossible-to-actually-pull-off games, right?
Yes, 1000%. Is it Warren Spector? Chat, let me know. What was the game you said?
A Midnight Walk? A Midnight Walk, yeah. So... This is one that they showed at, I want to say, a state of play, the last state of play or something. Kev, can you look at the date on this one?
Oh, yes.
Vor vier Monaten, ja. Das muss also der letzte Tag gewesen sein. Das ist ein PSVR-Spiel, aber man kann es auch ohne VR spielen. Es ist von den Creators of Lost in Random und hat einen tollen Stop-Motion-Geruch. Ich bin super, super gespannt auf das. Das sieht wirklich cool aus. Ich hoffe, dass wir mehr davon sehen, weil das ist definitiv einer von denen, die es beantragt haben.
Und wir sind alle so, oh, das sieht cool aus. Und es ist so, okay, wann werden wir es wieder hören? Ja. um correction for myself hell is us is directed by jonathan jacques billett all right let's see them super chats i'm pretty sure kev can you actually scroll to the end of this i want to see what like uh time frame or whatever they gave on it but it looks dope as hell it looks super cool
Es ist interessant, dass sie PSVR nicht erwähnt haben. Ich wünsche mir das jetzt.

Chapter 7: How are leaks affecting expectations for the State of Play?
Nicht ein großer Teil des Stages des Spiels. Aber der zweite, den wir schon gesehen haben. Ja, das wird ein lustiger Teil des Trailer sein. Ich glaube, ich habe den Trailer der Woche nicht gesehen. Oh ja, du siehst den 8. Er ist da.
Fuck ja. Okay. Kebab says that 40 million, it feels like the big one for the year. Oh, 40 minutes. Oh, 40 minutes. Yeah, I mean, that's true. That's true. Like, that's a good amount of time. We've seen like 40 minutes state of plays waste their time before. So I don't necessarily think that this means like we're going to get a ton of stuff.
Based on what we've talked about already, I'm already, like, bumping up my expectations to... I think this is going to be good. Like, I think this is going to be... Like, if Hell Is Us is there, and Lost Soul Aside is there, and the Metal Gear Solid Delta Trailer is there, already I'm like...
Das ist ziemlich gut. Ja, es ist einfach so, dass ich fühle, dass die Pläne oft von Leaks so aufgeworfen werden. Wie der Metal Gear Trailer wäre cool gewesen, und ich würde wirklich sagen, oh, das ist erstaunlich, wir warten auf das. Obwohl ich immer noch schockiert bin, wie weit dieser Release-State ist. Wie ist es im August? Aber egal.
Volk Dasher says, third party obligations, lost souls aside, which is Sony published, will get Ghost 2, Death Stranding 2 dates, God of War Remasters, that comes up a couple times here, Resident Evil Remastered, Resident Evil Remastered. First Party Live Service Stuff, more Third Party, no one more thing First Party Surprise.
I agree, I don't think we're going to get a one more thing First Party thing. I don't think there's any major First Party announcement that we're going to pop off for.
And I think that's where, going back to the Kebabs thing, it feels like the big one for the year. I think a big one for the year would have that one more thing First Party thing, and I think we'll get that in May or June, during the regular Summer Game Fest time. And that one more thing
marathon it's coming out coming out in august um yeah okay let's look through this here so the resident evil remaster or resident evil 9 one or the other what what remaster would it be uh there's been rumors of zero okay there's always rumors of one and those would be remakes those would be remasters well they've already remastered those so they'd be remakes okay um
Es gibt auch all diese geblasene Fakten von Resident Evil 5 und 6, glaube ich, oder so etwas. Das ist wahrscheinlich, worüber sie hier reden. Aber ich meine, ich denke, es gibt einiges von Schmerz in der Zeit, um eine richtige Resident Evil Remake zu machen. Und es sieht aus, als wäre es 0. Ich kaufe es nicht voll, aber vielleicht.

Chapter 8: What surprises might PlayStation have in store for us?
Random State of Play. Du hast recht. Es gab das Jahr, wo es veröffentlicht wurde, wie ein Dezember-State of Play.
Das war Resident Evil 3. Und dann gab es noch einen anderen, der Resident Evil 4 veröffentlicht wurde. Und Village auch, wenn ich mich richtig erinnere.
Ich glaube, es hängt von dem Zeitpunkt des Erleichterungs an, weshalb ich überrascht wäre. Ich glaube, wenn wir über ein Resident Evil 9 sprechen, das im Sommer kommt, dann glaube ich, dass du es jetzt annoncen würdest. Aber wenn wir über das kommende Frühjahr sprechen. Oh, ich glaube, es ist dieses Jahr, sicher. Nicht sicher, aber ich glaube, es ist dieses Jahr.
Ich glaube wirklich, es ist dieses Jahr.
Ja, ich glaube, das wäre ein Dumpf.
Wenn es nicht dieses Jahr wäre, wären wir zwei volle Jahre ohne Resident Evil.
Das ist, warum ich zurückkehre zu den Resident Evil Remasters. Du bekommst die Resident Evil 5 und 6 Remasters, was ich weiß, klingt blöd. Es ist blöd, aber das kommt dieses Jahr.
Ich würde sie nicht zählen. Okay. Okay.
Vielleicht wollen sie nicht den brennenden, ich vergesse den Hauptcharakter. Ethan Winters. Ethan Winters wird nicht der Hauptcharakter sein. Lasst uns das als Chance nutzen, um zu redefinen und zu erinnern, was Resident Evil sein kann und unsere Sachen richtig mit 9 zu machen. Und in der Zwischenzeit, lasst uns ein paar Remasters in 2025 veröffentlichen und dann zurück in 2026 mit einem Bang.
