Used your template. Playing it safe with the bets but my longshot is simple - but also what I want if I could have genuinely anything I want. Going with my heart here.

Oh I totally forgot about this! One of the best parts of these events.

My bet: FF XVI will reveal itself.

Are they doing a website like ShockOrScoff again? I want everyone to be able to participate and have leaderboards and stuff.

I think the smartest money is on Silent Hill. Especially given the vague wording of the bet......they can show a clip of an old game or just do a logo reveal and you win.

"There will be a next gen game announced to be free" is a little vague to me. Does PSN Plus count as free? Does any Free-To-Play game count?

rewatched the ff15 showing in 2016 MS conference randomly.

that has to be top 5 worst e3 demos of all time, forgotten how bad it was.
Near to Skyward Sword bad. but at least that seemed to have a technical excuse.

F2P is all the rage, how does it have such good betting odds?
Free to Plays best platform strategy is to be on as many platforms as possible. It would take a huge wad of cash to convince a third party making a free to play game not to put it on the previous generation. Sony, who will almost certainly be taking a loss on the hardware, can't really afford to spend that money, especially considering the existing pedigree that they have on first party. That money is almost certainly better spent elsewhere, as there isn't any guarantee that the game will take off, or have a well received monetisation model.

The only way I see it happening is in a spiritual successor to PlayStation Home that's part of the console experience. I would consider that a free to play next gen title personally, but others might not.

This was a great surprise. Feels good to have a betting special despite E3 not happening.

Am I missing something? Dragons dogma 2 at 10 to 1 and FF 16 at 60 to 1? Is there big rumors of dogma? Feel like I've heard a decent bit about 16 and wouldn't be that surprised to see it.

10 minutes in and this is a ton of fun. Don slid into Kyle's seat and it's like he's been doing it for years.

The Zoom question is a weird one though and a very easy skip. We know this is a pre-recorded show and Sony have had months to prepare for it (according to the rumours they were originally planning on holding it back in March), so why would they use Zoom at all? Just because they're working from home, doesn't mean they can't use real cameras and upload footage to whoever is editing it together. I'm sure this is going to looks very professional, not thrown together like that Inside Xbox episode last month.

As Bloodworth pointed out. Horizon Zero Dawn is the title. There is no subtitle.
So the title would be "Horizon Zero Dawn: Rebirth" or something like that.
Or it could be "Horizon Zero Dawn II" and that would be no subtitle.
You took Blood's point in a direction he didn't intend. Yes, he's saying Horizon Zero Dawn is the title and that Zero Dawn isn't a subtitle because there's no colon. But he isn't saying that's the title of the series, he specifically says the sequel could be "Horizon whatever."

Similarly, Odyssey isn't a subtitle in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, that's just the title of the game, but Assassin's Creed is the title of the franchise.

I imagine the crazy odds on an FFXVI announcement is simply due to the common assumption that SE is all in on the FFVIIr series and won't announce a new mainline game until that's completed.

I loved it. Finally finished watching it, was worried something would be missing without Bossman, but Don was the absolute best choice.
They should probably do one for the rest of the summer, I think. Or at least one for Xbox and Ubisoft (since they'll probably end up being pretty close)

Don's always been a treasure, they need him in as much 'schtick content' as possible
