Forza Horizon 6’s Location Revealed?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 08.21.25

16:30Andy Cortez:I want to believe we're going to Japan. That would be awesome. Let's fucking go to Japan. For you, Greg Miller. Yes, hi.

16:36Blessing Adeoye Jr.:What is the short list? Let's say three locations that you would want to take the next Forza Horizon. outside except for Japan.

16:43Andy Cortez:First off, we still have a shout out to Barrett for going and taking photos of this car. Okay, listen. That man has way too much hair to me.

16:54Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Also, I feel like the proportion, leg to body proportion doesn't say Barrett to me. In what way? Get out here and stand. Go get your black hat. Put it on. Come back here and stand. I, funnily enough, did not bring a hat today. Wow. Of all the days. What do you mean by proportions? I don't know. I want to hear you describe it. I feel like... Are your legs that long compared to your torso? Not to say that you're short. Because me and you are probably the same height. Yeah, roughly. Yeah. I feel like those legs are kind of long compared to... Your legs.

17:27Andy Cortez:As you know, I'm not...

17:32So...

17:34Andy Cortez:Again, not being... I mean, I know Forza through Ben. So I'm not at all the Forza expert. So I'm trying to think of an open world area that could be really cool. Right. I think you could do something really fun. Now I'm trying to get out of my own personal biases too. You know what I mean? Yeah. Cause I throw out Canada, Quebec was like, I'm like, wait, like that's not, that's exciting for me and Jen, but like, I mean, Quebec city, you know, a very old European city. And you get out, it is much country. I don't know. It'd be exciting. I don't take it. France. Let's go to France. Let's do something in petty and then get out of it.

18:09Andy Cortez:And then be off to the races out there, literally, of what we're doing outside. That could be a really fun one. You know what I think is really beautiful? I've never visited. Iceland. I think Iceland is really cool. Do something in Reykjavik and then get outside. And I don't even know the Icelandic outside of what you're doing, where you're going. Yeah. You can do Finland too, right?

18:27Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Sure.

18:28Andy Cortez:Yeah.

18:31Andy Cortez:Where did Jessica Chobot move? Oh, I don't know.

18:35Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Oh, wait. I do know. Did they move to? maybe I don't know

18:39Andy Cortez:something like that one of those with the water gorilla is in Herman Holst is in the red light district is in chat help me I'm giving you everything you need

18:54Blessing Adeoye Jr.:is it Helsinki

18:56Andy Cortez:that's finished Netherlands Amsterdam Netherlands looks beautiful never been there thank you everybody thank you i'm popping up yeah amstead oh dasher says forza in the disney universe there i said it

19:11Blessing Adeoye Jr.:i mean i also want that right i just want more i mean that's what we fucking wanted out of mario kart like just give me an open world mario i want more games to take inspiration from forza is what i want um as far as location yeah like i i think the places you mentioned sound cool yeah france was the first one that came to mind uh funny enough of course we say japan out throughout I know this is like very much me being somebody who was born and raised for the most part in the U.S. but like I think United States could be cool for that and that's my thing though so like that's

19:40Andy Cortez:my thing where I'm like I was like New York and then you get out into the country like the New York State not you be in New York City and I'm like I'm probably just see I was gonna say more of like the mountainous like Colorado then we're back to having the crew drive across the drive across the country yeah we could have done it we could have done it um people have been hopping off in the chat so i do want to get this in here this is from tom henderson june 8th 2025 at insider gaming phil spencer confirms a new forza game will be released in 2026 during the xbox game showcase xbox ceo phil spencer confirmed albeit subtly that a new forza game will be released next year on the announcement phil spencer said quote i'm excited to share that players will get to celebrate 25 years of xbox with a new fable forza gears of war e-day and a return of a classic that's been with us since the beginning, end quote.

20:29Andy Cortez:In 2026, it will mark 25 years since the initial Xbox. That's exciting. As for when the next Forza game will actually be revealed, remains to be seen, but we could expect to announce later this year. Of course, the game could get delayed, but as of now, it looks like the next Forza game could come in 2026. Now, again, I am not the Forza expert. It is not. Is that the same as Forza? Is it going to be? The next Forza game's coming. Is that Forza Horizon? Is that Forza Open World Japan?

20:54Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I would think Forza Horizon, right? I would too. i would as i look as i look into it forza horizon 5 the previous one came out in 2021 so it has been some time even though it feels like it hasn't been that long ago and yeah forza motorsport came out more recently than that so it's horizon's turn the one thing i'll throw out to is regarding location is um usually we get forza in more rural areas right you see a lot of nature you see a lot of grass see mountains all these things see beaches it would be interesting to see like yeah what if we got a forza that took place entirely in a city it'd be a strong shift for the franchise but like i i also think that forza is the kind of franchise that we they're i feel like they're playing the hits a lot for forza and like they find ways to differentiate it forza horizon 4 had the whole season system where you go from winter to fall and summer into the spring not in that order time is broken oh god uh but yeah i i i think the thing that i then think about is yeah what do you do for this next forza to try to give it its own gimmick or give it its own feel given its own energy and i think you know if if you were to go full tokyo like we're what we got out of the tokyo racer game that came out earlier this year we're actually giving you in forza

22:01Andy Cortez:that'd be fucking incredible yeah uh motorworld hype is back with another super chat uh when i've spoken to the when i've spoken to the devs they've told me they tend to pick places that subvert expectations and have a healthy mix of environments if not japan i think india is very is a very likely prospect. I like that a lot. That'd be really, really cool. Then Storm King says, I'm down for just a Forza, Texas. Where, you know, women can't drive. Jesus. If you pull into a Planned Parenthood parking lot,

22:32Blessing Adeoye Jr.:cops show up. God. I mean, I love also like Egypt or something like that, right? North Africa. Yeah. Oh, that'd be awesome. Yeah.

22:39Andy Cortez:Yeah. Fucking yeah. Well, we will wait with bated breath for more on the next Forza Horizon, which apparently is coming next year and very, very exciting. Um, number two on the Roper report, Far Cry. Oh, that's all right. I was reading a super chat that I'll get to later. Number two on the Roper report, Metroid Prime 4 rating spotted on Nintendo's website. This is Liam Doolin at Nintendo Life. After a restart, delays, and an incredibly long wait, it appears Retro Studios' anticipated release, Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, Beyond, may have finally been rated by the Entertainment Software Rating Board.

23:11Andy Cortez:a rating has recently been spotted on nintendo's website in the u.s taking it from rating pending to t for team classification the currently attached description on the same page references animated blood and violence as noted by metroid fan site uh shine sparkers or maybe it's shine sparkers this age rating would be consistent with the main metroid prime games before the fourth entry then there's a dot dot dot we then pick up the article later this discovery follows the game being rated in south korea by the game rating and administration committee in july so hopefully all this recent activity means an official release date isn't too far away metroid prime 4 beyond is currently targeting a 2025 launch and the switch 2 version will include enhanced resolution and frame rate as well as joycon 2 mouse support nintendo's lineup of games for the remainder of here is already looking quite busy with the new pokemon game scheduled for october and kirby air riders now locked for november blessing eddie oea jr gregory when will we be playing metroid prime for oh man december september i'm now i'm surprised that we do not have the release date

24:23Blessing Adeoye Jr.:for this game yet me too i'm shocked especially given that now we have the release date for kirby air riders of all things that was the game that was the game that i would have told you oh that's december oh that gets pushed to january oh that's going to be the last first party thing that we have this year if we're doing the calendar game i gotta look i gotta look up it's the calendar game zelda is it age of imprisonment yes hyrule warriors age of imprisonment that doesn't have a release date i believe all right yes that does that does just say 2025 and so now we're playing the thing of kirby air riders is november pokemon october there's not a major nintendo thing in september but i don't expect them this close to announce the release date to metroid prime being

25:09Andy Cortez:in september yeah i would say i realize there's no major thing in september i would float that that kirby forgotten lands oh yeah is what like next week it's like imminent which is in september but

25:19Blessing Adeoye Jr.:it's pretty close yes yeah like i i could see them doubling up in october right because pokemon it's first party in nintendo but also like i feel like pokemon is the kind of thing that you can release something else in the same month as right like it almost feels like a separate thing like i feel like that's on the pokemon company's time more than it's on nintendo's time as far as how

25:40Andy Cortez:you do that i agree but i don't think you i think that oxygen on switch will just be eaten up by pokemon yeah legends zeta that's its god-given title but i think december if not yeah december when does Hyrule Warriors come out?

25:55Blessing Adeoye Jr.:that gets delayed? it's tough it is tough for me if I'm in the boardroom of a Nintendo I think then the conversation becomes we have a Zelda title which Hyrule Warriors different Zelda title, all that shit but we have a Zelda title and we have a Metroid title which one are we giving priority here? see the Zelda one I'm surprised

26:18Andy Cortez:if it is actually coming this year I would think you get that out before Black Friday. That's a game I think you want on shelves. So when people go to the store and they buy their kid the Switch 2, they say, oh, it's Zelda. It's Zelda. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree with that. But maybe they're seeing such success from the Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom enhanced editions. They're like, wait, hold on. We don't even need to worry about that yet, which I think would be a reason to push it.

26:41Blessing Adeoye Jr.:No, that makes sense. Yeah, I think I agree with you as far as Metroid in December. And we'll see when Hyrule. I don't know when Hyrule. Yeah, I can see November or I can see January, February for that one if it gets pushed. yeah but i'd be surprised i'm surprised that they haven't like messaged that yet this far into the year i feel like you would want things to be a bit more crystal clear as far as what your your plans are but i imagine we're going to get a nintendo direct very soon keith's intern says

27:04Andy Cortez:they said asian imprisonment comes winter so anytime before march 2026 oh okay so yeah yeah that lines up that lines up when do we when do you think we get a direct september dude i yeah that i'm not educated enough at when nintendo is going to be dropping that stuff september would make sense to close that off right so you have here we go it's the final push here's what's

27:24Blessing Adeoye Jr.:happening next three months four months if you toss in this yeah i'm gonna say september okay

33:37Andy Cortez:Number three on the Roper Report. Elden Ring on Switch 2 drops to 15 frames per second in handheld mode. it's claimed this is the big man jordan middler at vgc also known aka as uncle jordan uncle jordan when we went to pokemon worlds he spent so much time with us running around with ben came to dinner with us ben had all these questions he invited him to his birthday party i have it on video and then he went to disney with us the next day all day long wow it was amazing we love you uncle jordan elden ring tarnished edition is set to debut on the nintendo switch 2 and this week the game is playable publicly for the first time at gamescom according to media who've played the game at the event the switch 2 port has significant performance issues including severe frame rate drops according to nintendo life's felix sanchez while the game looks quote-unquote really good graphically the game's performance is a major issue the game has a maximum frame rate of 30 frames per second on handheld mode but according to sanchez the game struggles to meet that Barrett is running this in slow motion.

34:40Andy Cortez:So you have a artistic representation. So this is a kind of funny recreation for you. Quote, it's really bad. And I understand why they don't want you to see this says Sanchez, referring to the fact that publisher Bandai Namco isn't allowing footage of the game to be captured. Quote, it was like playing Ocarina of time, 20 frames per second. Sometimes 20 frames per second. Sometimes it was like 15 frames per second. End quote. elden ring tarnished edition is due for release on nintendo switch 2 this year though no specific release date has been announced blessing was ocarina time like that i was a kid i was in high school i don't know i mean it was i did we didn't know what we had back then yeah but sorry what were you gonna ask me you're an elden ring fan i am yes are

35:25Blessing Adeoye Jr.:you surprised by this um only a little bit yeah i think the excuse me the transition to the switch 2 console gave us the hope of all right can third party games play functionally on this thing one of the things that i talked about coming off of the new york preview that me and tim did when we where we went to new york played the switch 2 when they first did the the direct and a lot of stuff and let us play a bunch of games yeah one of the things i talked about was playing cyberpunk 2077 and being so impressed by how recommendable that experience you said good enough yes it was good enough that you could play this and enjoy i would play yes that is it is a way that i would play that game right it is is it the most technically advanced is it the most uh high fidelity no i'm absolutely not right but it's a way that i would say if somebody wanted to play that game on that console i'd be like yeah go for it i think it's perfectly servable for what it is and having that on the go is the price you're paying for that experience and so if that's something you want then go for it but then there are a couple other games i remember uh roger played i believe it was yakuza zero um at that event and was a little bit let down by it i got my hands on street fighter i was a little bit let down by by that as well and so i think mileage is very much going to vary as far as what you're getting from the third party support on this thing and how well they function and it's going to come down to um a lot of optimization but also elden ring i think is one of the it is one of the first major major third party damn all right this is one of the big ones that you're dropping from uh third party support on this thing and for this to function so badly and knowing the kind of game the Elden Ring is yeah it is a gigantic open world with a lot of great art direction but then also a lot of things happening on screen between a bunch of enemies that might be popping out at some point between a lot of big vistas that you're looking out at a lot of um you know a lot of different grand visuals that are appearing big boss fights big boss moves right that's a game that not only is meant to look fantastic but then also needs to need i think it needs yeah it needs to look fantastic and then also just has a lot of shit going on in it for that to run badly yeah i think is a bad sign for the future of what big third party sport looks like on this thing my question is is like if this is where it's at now like why why bring it to this event yeah yeah i think this might be what it's like at launch i i one of the things that i appreciate about nintendo and their directs and their marketing is that they will not fudge a thing they will not show you a trailer that is not running on the switch we'll be watching trailers me like yo that looks like shit but hey at least they're not doing the watchdog remember that funko papa yeah yeah like that game kind of killed that game there have been trailers i forget the name of the indie game but there was like that one indie like 2d platform maybe metroidvania game that appeared at the switch to um or maybe switch one direct before um the switch to direct that we got where we saw the trailer we're like okay looks fine and then we saw the trailer again at like a state of play or like a summer game fest thing we're like oh that looks fantastic yeah it didn't look like that at the switch thing right so i gen i i think the reason why you have it here like this is because that this is what it's going to be like at launch man that sucks

38:45Andy Cortez:you know i mean i think that was you know when we i made a reference in the beginning making fun of tim uh because i don't do that often and i just like to you know once in a while give him the guff yeah but i remember that was when we were doing this which reaction things the conversation was tim's hype that nintendo could have a system that could run third-party games well enough like a cyberpunk and that would open the door and so if you're going to have inarguably one of the biggest third-party crossovers they're having in terms of games that are already out eldon ring so many people have been excited to have Elden Ring on the go play that do all these different things to have it run this badly is going to leave such a bad taste in their mouths let alone expectations for what the Switch 2 can actually do when you're talking about running a other AAA game over here.

39:28Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah I agree I'm also somebody who I think at the end of the day it's not going to matter that much on the Nintendo side of things as far as we're going to end up back to where we ended up with the Switch one where the main things that are going to sell on this thing the main reasons why you're buying this thing are going to be for the first party Nintendo games yeah do i went in the ideal world do i want third-party games to run fantastically and look great and do all this shit 1000 am i upset that they're not 1000 right like i think that sucks but also this is par for the course i think this has been nintendo for the last decade and a half as far as what these things are like so i think this is to be expected even though i had that

40:07Andy Cortez:little i had the littlest hope of change and that's my thing is like i always looked at tim and I said, oh, I hope you're right. I hope that's what happens, but I never believed it. I never thought that Nintendo was going to become this thing. Like, oh, this is going to rival all my other things. And I'm going to, that's my brog. That's where I want to go have that. Indie games here. Sure. I'll take an indie game over here because I think the Switch 2 can run that fine. But something like this, I was never going to be that person. But again, for those Nintendo people that do want to see them compete that way, it would suck.

40:33Andy Cortez:Hopefully this is a unique situation. Mellow Fellow asks, is this worrying for Duskbloods? Duskbloods.

40:39Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I'll say yes.

40:40Andy Cortez:Yeah.

40:41Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I think it is. I think from software, they've been cooking with modern hardware for the last, I guess, yeah, for the last however long they've been putting out these Souls-likes, right? Like, they've not had to deal with putting out an exclusive game for hardware that is admittedly underpowered compared to the other ones. Even, I'm not counting, like, Steam Deck and all that shit, right? Yeah, yeah, of course. And so, like, I think the challenge for them is going to be optimizing enough to where these games run great on the switch too and function great on the switch too and have i i think satisfy the what from soft um fans look forward to and expect out of this thing the i'm of two minds here one leading into elden ring night rain i was a bit concerned with the kind of game that was um mainly because it was a multiplayer first like you know co-op go out explored like almost like a fortnite but we're you know roguelite all this shit kind of game and they proved me wrong right That game not only came out and people liked it, but also sold really well.

41:44Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. I think this on a Nintendo Switch system, also being a multiplayer thing, like it's that same level. It has that same factor of me looking at this and being like on paper. Oh, man, that's kind of rough. But then the added elements of it being Nintendo and it being the Switch, right? Nintendo not really known for having great online infrastructure, even though with Mario Kart World, it seemed like that is a lot better now. um but also coming off of this i go all right if you're giving me it doesn't seem like you're able to reach elden ring level fidelity with these things and so if that's the case when you're putting out the elden ring tarnished edition what's gonna what what is dustblood's gonna look like yeah i hope i hope it comes out and it's fantastic obviously we hope so as well

42:25Andy Cortez:and we will continue to track that here on kind of funny uh for now we move on to story number four pokemon legends zeta a reveals mega victory bell this is gamatsu's own sal romano publisher the pokemon company and developer game freak have released a new trailer in quote unquote found footage style video for pokemon legends zeta a introducing the mega victory bell a new mega evolved pokemon making its debut we see it here breaking out doing its damn thing it's horrifying it's so mega uh here's the pokemon's official description uh mega victory bell category fly catcher pokemon type grass slash poison height uh 4.5 meters weight 276.7 pounds uh the volume of this pokemon's acid has increased due to mega evolution filling its mouth if it's not careful the acid will overflow and spill out i don't like this

43:23Blessing Adeoye Jr.:why is it tying i don't like how it's tying its own it's got too much acid in its mouth you want that it looks like it's hanging itself and i don't like yeah well you don't want to hurt itself and it's also like do you ever see those episodes south park where the like all their balls like increase yeah of course they're like hopping around on their balls that's what this is giving

43:42Andy Cortez:me also yeah i can see that for sure i can definitely there's a lot of things i don't like here i mean you gotta strap in you know what i mean like that's what's gonna happen though

43:51Blessing Adeoye Jr.:i want to pop it you want to pop it where are you at uh you know jokes and all this stuff side with your hype for pokemon legends z day um i'm i'm looking forward to it i wasn't a big rcs person um i think i like more of the traditional stuff but the battle system here does seem intriguing i want to try it out i'm looking forward to it i'm also i'm in a pokemon mode i'm ready for another pokemon thing right it's been a little bit since the last pokemon game i got into and so I'm looking forward to it in that sense I could bounce off of it because it's not as traditional but I'm definitely going to give it a chance I of course got to

56:13Blessing Adeoye Jr.:yeah no this is not for me

56:15Andy Cortez:and that's it for we will go into some super chats here I said I didn't pull up. You're wrong. Let me do. Yes, you're wrong. I'm going to go into my super chats, though. Lion of Desert says, Bless Far Cry 3 live reaction with VO's actor exists on YouTube. It was all run together.

57:49Andy Cortez:when you say upgrade if you're gonna ask me i'd say the next upgrade is gonna be oled well remember though the upgrade for switch one was a better battery remember when they did that i would count i would count you would count that another reason to buy a switch yeah i don't think

58:04Blessing Adeoye Jr.:that many people were buying it for the better battery i did because it was like that was more like a switch 1.1 yeah yeah yeah refresh the thing but yeah if that and then i think that's that's for sure is gonna happen but i think as far as like an actual actual like new skew we make a big deal about it yeah i think oled i mean you got to give me oled by 2027 so yeah i'll i'll i'll sit with this or i'll i'll agree with the super chat okay 2027 if we count that benny b good
