2:05Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Today's gaming news stories include we're getting two State of Plays this Thursday, Ubisoft might have revealed the next Nintendo Direct, and Asha Sharma calls Next Gen a family of devices. We'll have all this and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily.

2:24Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Tuesday, September 1st, 2026. I'm your host, Blessing, Adio A. Jr. Joining me is the best voice in the business, Paris Lilly. Hey, good morning, Blessing. How you doing? I'm doing good, Paris. Welcome back from Gamescom. Yeah, it was a great week in Germany at Gamescom. I brought the con crud back with me, but I'm just going to be able to power through it. But yeah, it was a fun week. Got to see a lot of games, got to play a lot of games, got to talk to a ton of people. And I had a bucket list moment that came out of nowhere. I got to meet and talk with Doug Cockle, who is the voice of Geralt of Rivia.

3:05Wow. Literally the nicest person on earth. That's so cool. Yeah, yeah. I legitimately told him, I go, this is a fan moment for me. and if I say something dumb right now because I'm such a fan I apologize in advance but yeah he was just the nicest guy in the world being able to talk to him and hang out with him for just a little bit but uh yeah overall great uh great games comment I gotta get props to kind of funny so the night of the GTA reveal um for in Germany it was like nine o 'clock at night and we're at dinner and you know people are pulling out their phones kind of trying to see what was going on and I didn't watch it right away i watched it later like one o 'clock in the morning but that next day so many people were referring back to everything that you guys were talking about during the reveal yeah kind of funny got a lot of love the next day uh for that gta reveal and then i went back and watched everything that you guys were talking about too and yeah just fantastic like i'm gonna say this i'm not the biggest grand theft auto fan in the world i know how big it is and how relevant it is but after seeing that reveal and then hearing, you know, Greg and Andy talking about everything they got to see, I'm like, I think I'm on board.

4:18Really? I think they got me. This game sounds absolutely incredible. So, you know, props to you guys for just doing such a fantastic job, you know, with that preview. And then secondarily again, props to Greg for the blood of Don Walker review that he did yesterday. I was at gamescom, so I was going to be on it, but I was going to be impossible that I was going to complete it in time. And I think his score was pretty spot on pretty much how I felt about it as well. I, it's such a fantastic game. I mean, some jank, you know, that hopefully they'll get patched up here pretty quickly by the time it launches.

4:53But overall, I love it. I, I, it's just a me kind of game. And I'll say this one last thing before we jump into the show. I have to give love to an indie game that I got to see at gamescom called hello sunshine hello it was it came out of nowhere for me um i think they're talking potentially

5:13Blessing Adeoye Jr.:2027 it's coming out and here here let me give the synopsis it's the iron giant survival game and the sun is trying to kill you oh wow okay i'm i'm i'm telling you okay if you see this in action you will absolutely fall in love with it and i just i was just praising the devs the whole time during the demo i was like i cannot wait to get my hands on this game so if you're looking for an indie sleeper hit out of games comp check out hello sunshine kevin if we can possibly get a uh yeah oh he's already on it because i'm i pulled it up on steam i love the art style of this yeah this looks really cool and yeah like i see immediately the iron giant vibes that you're talking about right like being the small character picked up by this huge robot looking creature this looks really cool paris yeah it really just seeing the demo in action because legitimately the sun is trying to kill you so you're constantly looking for shade so the robot um is kind of your your guardian in a way it's kind of helping you get from point to point and then at night you have to do like because and you're constantly uh you know scavenging for supplies and things like that and then at night you're trying to repair the robot you got people trying to attack you you got mystery like there's so much going on in this game that i'm like wow this is such a me kind of game and like you said the art style is fantastic hell yeah yeah i want to hear a little bit more about gamescom we have a jam-packed show because yesterday because there are two review embargoes we did two two games cast missed on and doing kind of funny games daily and so all the weekend's news plus this morning's news has been fed into today's episode so we got a lot to talk about but before we get there i want to ask you because i've never been to gamescom i don't know if kind of funny has ever even been to gamescom before um but that's why i want to hear a little bit more about it like what other games did you did you get to try out like who who else did you get to run into and be a fanboy over yeah yeah i mean god there's just let's put it this way there there were 368 000 people at gamescom over over that that week and i'm pretty sure on day two i ran into all of them at once there's just wow so many human beings that come through those those halls uh during that event it's crazy um as far as games that i got to see did you see during open night live that what was it that one 1001 tales of of misa i believe i believe i'm saying that correctly yes i got the um what they call the arabian knights yes exactly and you're writing on the carpet and the whole thing yeah i got i got to do a demo of that pretty cool concept i mean obviously they still got some some work to do on it before it before it comes out but a lot of potential with that i did go hands-on with fable um doing the combat session with that how's that good um it felt good felt good felt intuitive played on the default difficulty and then i did a second run on the legendary difficulty which was the next to highest difficulty again felt good there's a lot of potential there and i know there's been a little bit of controversy about the the length of the main game being 15 to 20 hours that's always been fable the whole thing about that makes fable fable is the side content is the romances you'll do buying real estate things like that so i'm not too concerned about the length of the game but i looked and played good yeah yeah i played state of decay three as well and i've never played state of decay before so this was my first time but having that co-op survival zombie apocalypse experience you know you're scavenging for supplies things like that and you can essentially have a persistent world between your friends um and you it's invite only so no one can just join you have to invite someone if you want them to be a part of your world a lot of potential there i think with that um played final fan well i wonder what i can say on an embargo i will just simply say i played final fantasy 7 revelation i won't dive into my thoughts i think there's an embargo with that um like i just talked about hello sunshine god there's just there's so much did you get to play or check out the Witcher 3 songs of the past yes I was going to get into that so literally my first appointment was was to go see that and I did the behind closed doors demo for that it was about an hour long um with that along with the Witcher 3 remastered and you got to kind of see those quality of life improvements and you know and play with songs of the past I don't I don't know when I'm gonna have time that's my problem now it's like there's so many games that are coming out and this is dropping on September 29th.

9:39So I got to figure out some way to do a full run of that again, but looks really good. The visual upgrades that they were able to do, and it already was a good looking game for being 11 years old, looks even better now. And on PC, they're going to do path tracing. It's what CD Projekt Red is able to do and to give it to you for free, free upgrade. You're getting the existing expansions for free as well. And then songs of the past in 2027. And again, they're just doing what they always do as far as that stuff goes. Let me give this side note with CD Projekt Red. So something I did to go out of my comfort zone.

10:17They had a community party that was offsite from Gamescom, you know, during during the event. I went by myself, didn't know anybody. I was like, you know what? I'll never get this opportunity again to go to a community event in another country. I'm just going to go. I went, had a fantastic time. I met people. Hell yeah. Obviously, there was a Turner German people there, Dutch. I mean, I was hanging out with these Italian fans that read the thing, and we just had a great time. The cosplay that they had at that community event was just off the charts. Like, being around so many passionate people about a game, it's just, it makes you realize a lot of the nonsense that we've seen on social media is just not real because that's what it's all about.

11:01You know what I mean? So props to CD Projekt Red for doing something. And they did it last year, I guess, as well. But props to them for throwing that. All the fans there. Everyone just had a great time. They were doing live music of all the Witcher songs while we were there. Like I said, the cosplay was fantastic. And, yeah, dude, it was just a great time. One day I want to go to Gamescom.

11:21Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Every time I hear people talk about it, I'm like, this sounds like such a blast. And to be at a gaming convention that big with that many people, you have all these events going on around it, the parties and all that stuff. that sounds like such a blast, Paris. Oh yeah, it is. And look, tell Greg and Tim to let you go just once. And I get it. It happens at a time. You guys are obviously super busy. I understand why you know, kind of funny doesn't go, but it's something you want to experience at least once. I'm fortunate enough. This is the third time I've gone to Gamescom and it feels worth it every time.

11:51I always have a great time.

11:52Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Oh yeah. Well, let's get into the show. Remember, if you're watching live, you can be a part of the show by super chatting in over on YouTube.com slash kind of funny games. If you're super chatting in, what I want to know from y 'all, what are y 'all predictions for what's going to be in this PlayStation state of play? I'm curious on what y 'all have to say because I started jotting down what I want to talk about right before this episode. I'm like, oh, okay, this is going to be an interesting one, I think. So super chatting with those. Remember, we couldn't do this without our producers over on Patreon.com slash kind of funny.

12:17Blessing Adeoye Jr.:So thank you to Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, Delaney, the Psalm Twining, and Lax Nomad. For now, let's begin with what is and forever will be the Roper Report. It's time for some news. We have eight stories today. A Baker's dozen! Starting with our number one, State of Play and State of Play Japan return on September 3rd. I'm reading directly from the PlayStation blog. State of Play returns Thursday, September 3rd, with two broadcasts airing back-to-back. First, tune in for a new State of Play featuring updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and our third-party partners, concluding with an extended look at the vast world of Final Fantasy VII Revelation from our friends at Square Enix.

13:02Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Immediately following, stay tuned for a new episode of State of Play Japan, once again hosted by Yuki Kaji. State of Play Japan will offer deep dives into upcoming games from game studios in Japan and Asia, including new gameplay, announcements, and more. Watch both broadcasts live on September 3rd, starting at 6 a.m. Pacific time on YouTube and Twitch. State of Play will air in English with Japanese subtitles also available. State of Play Japan will air in Japanese with English subtitles available. See you there. Of course, Kevin has pulled up the tweet from Final Fantasy 7, where they tweeted out, State of Play concludes with an extended look at the vast world of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation.

13:42Blessing Adeoye Jr.:See you on Thursday. And then they do a little eyes emoji. Paris, what do you think we can expect on Thursday? Yeah, I'm so conflicted on it because... Do you show intergalactic now? Do you? I mean, that's kind of where I'm leaning. I feel like Wolverine is so close. I don't think you're getting anything really in-depth with Wolverine. You're already showing the God of War Le Fay. If there's anything new big to get people aside, it would have to be intergalactic. It would have to be. But I'm just not confident it'll be that. I'm going to lower my expectations and just think it's going to be some smaller content.

14:24Blessing Adeoye Jr.:my thing is final fantasy 7 revelation closing this thing out right because they say state of play concludes with an extended look right if you're gonna show intergalactic again i feel like that's a closer that's the only reason why i don't think we see it this week is like i think you hold that for when it is going to close out a state of play property because that brings the house down no completely agree that that's that's kind of kind of my point I just feel like that's a showstopper. That is the highlight of something. If anything, you might even advertise that ahead of time because you're going to want to make sure everyone tunes in for it.

14:59Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I mean, speaking of things that you'd advertise ahead of time, God of War Lave. I feel like this would be a natural fit for a state of play happening right now because I'm double checking the release date, but this game releases early next year, if I remember correctly. Yeah, February. February 16th. And so that tells me this might be the last state of play before that game comes out. There's always game awards as well. And so you have that as an option. I guess you could also, if you wanted in January, do a God of War specific state of play. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah. That's kind of what I was thinking.

15:31I think you might hold it until January and do it then. And pronounce it again because I think, what did I say? Lafay? How do you pronounce it?

15:40Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I think they pronounce it differently, but I say God of War Lafay. Okay. Alright, Lao Fae. Alright. But yeah, I don't see... I almost feel like that's too early to show because I think you do have an opportunity with the game rewards and in January to show it off then. And then that's very close to launch. So it's top of mind. Yeah, I don't know. Do you think we see anything from it? Because my thing is, can we get maybe a teaser? Maybe there's a character that shows up. Maybe part of a sizzle reel, potentially. Okay. I can see that. And then maybe game awards, you do a bigger trailer that kind of shows off a lot and gets people get people that last second like big hype moment before the game comes out um i imagine some kind of wolverine launch trailer you know i think i think that's an easy layup for something you'd include in the state of play what about until dawn 2 possible that that would make a lot of i could see that i i think i think my thing because what is it 6 a.m our time 6 a.m our time it's coming out yeah so i almost feel like this is going to be more Japanese titles you know oh yeah Asian titles that that's kind of how I'm feeling so that's why I'm like lower expectations don't expect anything too significant out of this but I think until dawn couldn't make a lot of sense and then if we're getting new content for an astro bot or sorrows or something like that I could see that being a part of it as well well you know you talk about the Japanese part of it and this is being divided into two different state of plays you know we got the right traditional state of play and then we got the japan state of play right after which i forget what it was like the last time they did state of play japan because this isn't the first one if i remember correctly we had one of these before i need to go back i might do this as we talk go back and see like the everything announced because i want to know how deep in the bag are we getting there is it going to be japanese titles and like asia continent titles that i've like not heard of before that are very specific to that audience or is it going to be things like a final fantasy um resonance that is still coming out i believe that's coming out on multiple consoles i forget i forget if that's an exclusive or not but are we going to get something like that are we going to get rpgs or action games i might speak to a wider audience we see something about phantom blade zero perhaps see i think they just did a big blowout for phantom blade zero so i don't i don't think so because I thought about that as well.

18:04Again, I'm fascinated. I'm actually very fascinated to see what they will show in this. I just, I'm definitely not expecting Intergalactic, for sure, because I just, like you said, that's a show closer. I don't see them just dropping that out of nowhere.

18:19Blessing Adeoye Jr.:So I have opened the IGN article from the previous State of Play Japan, which went down November, this article is from November 11th, 2025. and as i'm going through we got dragon quest 7 reimagined which i think that could be a nice one to reshow here as well um there's this game that got i believe it got um andy and mike excited me and greg were like or me and tim were like what in the world this game in conbini one store was announced uh there there was coffee talk tokyo uh there was broken lore a lot of these seem like more specific games that might speak to them maybe a bit more of an niche audience fatal frame 2 yeah dynasty warriors there's a grand teresmo 7 update um there was a bunch of bandai namco stuff including like a pac-man world 2 and sonic the hedgehog collaboration monster hunter wilds let's see nothing that's like we got octopath traveler zero and then we got um a marvel tokon fighting souls beta elden ring night rain dlc was there so yeah it seems like a mixture like you're not getting of course you're not they're never gonna get super duper niche but it is in that like if you know you know sort of area of games yeah yeah that i think that makes a lot of sense yeah for sure um a couple more i'll throw out then sorrows do we see any sort of update dlc expansion endless mode co-op i think that's very possible that would make a lot of sense because because we're what are we about four over three or four months since launch so I could see them start talking about update for that what about their games which is seemingly being rebranded as break-in there was a big talk about this during the previous state of play do you think we see it here I don't think so I would be completely transparent and say I don't think that game ever makes it to market yeah I can see that I'm right there with you now do we see any PlayStation VR titles

20:25no i don't think so yeah it seems like they're starting to distance themselves from vr i know they're doing it a little bit but i'm gonna say no now i want to ask you what is your overall

20:38Blessing Adeoye Jr.:temperature on playstation's future slate because we're talking about a lot of things we're like i don't see this happening i don't see that happening i don't see that even coming to market like i as i was prepping this show i was thinking about it was like well i'm looking forward to God of War Lave, you know, Wolverine's about to come out. Like there's some exciting PlayStation games, but it's definitely, it feels like there's sort of a muted like feel to the upcoming PlayStation slate. Do you feel that at all? Yeah. And I'm going to throw it back at you. I know what you mean because I just don't know beyond everything that you've already listed.

21:15there's this void of what else are these studios working on and i'll throw it back to you like i feel like intergalactic that that's got to be next holiday right i mean it's because if not what else do they have that would be the big holiday title for them in 2027 so i'm i'm thinking we we will get some intergalactic news here soon enough which could be the game rewards or obviously early 2027 going into the holiday but then beyond that no idea i i think it's safe to assume we're going to get a spider-man 3 from insomniac at some point at some point but i i just don't know i mean there's big question marks what their internal studios are doing right now so they you would think in 2027 we we should be able to get a bigger picture of what they're doing

22:06Blessing Adeoye Jr.:internally yeah i think i'm 50 50 on intergalactic hitting second half next year i think that'd be great for them because then you can at the end of that year you can look back and be like hey we launched god of war lava in intergalactic and kind of look at 2028 as a sorry 2027 as a banner year part of me thinks that slips anyway like i think probably internally they're talking about end of next year i don't because it's naughty dog i just don't have any faith that it hits that right I think you see it slip into 2028, which I'm also kind of fine with, you know, like God of our Lave is a game that's going to be in the, that hopefully if it lives up is going to be in those end of year conversations, action adventure, game of the year, game of the year, narrative story, performances, all that stuff.

22:49Blessing Adeoye Jr.:If intergalactic comes out the same year, I think those bump up against each other in those conversations so strongly that it does a disservice to each, to the other game. When you're at those end of year awards. Now you then come back to, well, how much do those end-of-year awards matter when you're trying to hit a bottom line and you're trying to make sure that you're selling enough copies for your fiscal year and all that stuff? At a certain point, it's like, well, hey, God of War Lave is coming out this fiscal year. We want Intergalactic to be the game of the next fiscal year, right? Of course, that cutting off in March.

23:21Blessing Adeoye Jr.:It doesn't matter to us. We just need these games out. So if that happens, sure, that's good for them. But I personally, for the awards conversation, I don't know, man. And I think those games coming out in separate periods would be better for them at those end of year award scenarios. Yeah, I'm with you as far as the accolades go, but I think money wise, they probably don't care. They're just, hey, we want to make sure that we got consistent content, you know, to keep our customers happy. So, I mean, to your point, it very well could slip, but I would assume they got to be targeting Holiday next year for Intergalactic.

23:59Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Let's bring in some super chats. Cabal writes in and says Forza Horizon 6 date no physical release like Forza Horizon 5 what do you think of that Paris

24:11hey with this new administration I'm not surprised yeah honestly yeah I'm not I think let's put it this way if the current administration had decision making of where these games would go I don't even think Forza Horizon 6 would have would have a PlayStation version

24:28Blessing Adeoye Jr.:no I don't think so yeah um jbc writes in and says my prediction for state of play it's all about persistence bless bloodborne time and i'll tell you right now you gotta you gotta kill the dream for now i think eventually maybe we could get a bloodborne thing in the future but i don't in the ways in which we've talked about what's the story with bloodborne jason schreier has talked about the idea that um playstation and blue point they kind of wanted to do bloodborne but miyazaki and fromsoft were like no and so they were like hey we're gonna respect that and so they didn't do it i wonder if that sentiment is changing as we've seen layoffs and studio closures and all these things happen at playstation at a certain point you got to go well fuck it we're making blood right no i i'm with you on that but to you to your original point probably just out of respect of of you know of the original creator yeah do you want to burn that bridge let's put it that way and playstation does not that's going on they absolutely do not but it's it's the thing do you want to burn the bridge or do you want to give everybody else what they want right like your bottom line you're odd everybody wants bloodborne too yeah agreed um aaron line writes in and says i want a new ape escape state of play japan gives me that hope we'll see it from team asobi announce that media molecule announce what media molecule is up to surprise me with something out of left field like dynacrisis or zone of the enders.

25:57Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I like a lot of what you're putting down here. I think a return of Ape Escape in like a small, cute way would be fun. I really am so curious about what Media Molecule is up to because that's a studio that I love a lot. I really dug Dreams, even though Dreams was this weird thing that was kind of unsellable in terms of how do you really market that. But I think it's a brilliant studio. I'm so interested to see what comes out from them next. Is it going to be something more traditional? Is it going to be returned to LittleBigPlanet? is it going to be something really weird like dreams i think that can't be the case but i'm i'm just very curious yeah and that goes just goes back to what i was saying before like what are these studios working on and when are they going to start revealing them i would think again going back to the state of play if it's something smaller and maybe you know more niche i could see it being revealed here but if it's something that's a bigger deal i don't think we would see it at the state of play one that i'll throw out as i'm thinking about this kena scars of cosmora yeah yeah yeah what's up with that game you know slated for this year we've not heard anything about it paris we have to see it right yeah to your point it is supposed to come out this year maybe that's a perfect opportunity to announce the release date it's in october or something like that right you do it at that state of play so yeah i totally forgot about that game yeah that one makes a lot of sense to be shown at the state of play i think it gets shown i think i think we get a date but the date is next year i think it's yes and i think it'll be good if it slips because it's such a packed fall right now well yeah this this month or yeah we're in september in september this month is insane going into october so yeah if you just want to get out of the way of all this madness that would make a lot of sense um oh this is an interesting one from Cletus Hamwater odds that we get the final fantasy seven revelations release date yeah you know what that I could totally see that I could totally see that again I can't remember embargo so I'm being careful on what I say but uh yeah I I definitely think we could see a release date I think that'd be dope I also think that could be something that happens at a game awards final fantasy seven revelations is something that you can I don't I don't mean this in like a negative way you can like milk the marketing of that game for a while right that's the kind of game that i could foresee showing up at everything between now and its release and so if you do more extended gameplay deep dives and then uh at game awards have that be the big blowout you can close out of game awards with the final fantasy 7 revelations release date yeah i guess that is true because what was it summer game fest and then obviously it opened your night live so jeff just does the trifecta yeah that's a really good point actually yeah um and then man a lot of people uh rolling with super chats here we're gonna tackle only a couple of them at least we tried gaming also rolling with kena too of course shout out to that epic legend says state of play japan could show the new okami that'd be fun yeah yeah absolutely and i'll do just one more let's do one more from bander sn who says every state of play in the last years has had one first party game reveal laofay cradle trilogy wolverine tokon sorrows yote uh intergalactic or media molecule they say that's a good point like you're always going to get something first party revealed at these state of plays i don't it here's the thing you mentioned tokon bander sn i also wonder what are the third party deals that are happening for first party releases you know i look at games like rise of the ronin for example that was a playstation first party game stellar blade which was published as a playstation first party thing in times like these where playstation first party proper doesn't have as much to fill out the slate of games this is when playstation goes to third party developers and go and go hey we want exclusives we will publish your game and throw money at you and so i i expect my my prediction would be that it would be one of those i don't know if i foresee something that's like first party first party but i could see a first party deal right a second party game oh yeah in my opinion i i fully expect something like that even if it's not a headliner i definitely see them doing some kind of third party second party uh partnership for sure yeah paris let's move on to story number two after a word from our sponsor do you smell it in the air it's review season and it's only going to get crazier.

33:47Blessing Adeoye Jr.:And we're back. There's a chat that asks, what is a second party? Which is a good question because it's an older term that PlayStation at least doesn't use anymore. But it's the idea of a PlayStation published game that's not being developed in-house. So something like A Stuller Blade or Rise of the Ronin, any of those that are from studios that PlayStation didn't own but are exclusive, would be considered second party. They don't use that terminology anymore. But now it's just first party if PlayStation publishes it. But Paris, you're going to say something. Yeah, I was going to say a current example of a second party now with Xbox with all their changes.

34:20Undead Labs is now a second party to Xbox because Xbox is publishing State of Decay 3, but they no longer own Undead Labs. And the same will be for the next Hellblade from Ninja Theory because Xbox will publish it, but they no longer own Ninja Theory.
