This week the show had to be a tad shorter, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything to talk about! In the news: If Nintendo bricks your console is it an overreach or a punishment you agreed to? GTA 6 is delayed and nobody is complaining. Ubisoft finally figured out that delaying games that aren't ready might be a good idea. Also they're in hot water when it comes to data they collect without letting players know. Could the original Devil May Cry get a remake/update? What games of the 2020s will be remembered for being iconic in the future? Was the Steam data breach a big deal? What's everyone playing??? All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

After many weeks away, we're finally back! And after much waiting, we can talk about the Switch 2! Also in the news: Bethesda launched the Oblivion remaster and people really like it! Also Bethesda no longer has access to the original Fallout source code since, you know, they told the creator to destroy it. Smart... Bloober's upcoming Cronos: The New Dawn mashes several mechanics together for a new level of creepy difficulty. And Date Everything has a solid launch day. How soon can you date everything in your home? SOON. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Silent Hill f is back on the radar. Still no release date but definitely something worth talking about! Bloober Team's upcoming Cronos: The New Dawn seems to channel some of the horror tricks and tips they picked up from working on Silent Hill 2. And the US and Canada have going forces for a video game workers union! Long overdue. What did everyone play lately? Who got fired in Fast Food Sim? Will the group finish Back4Blood? Who's enjoying a co-op game with their kiddo? And can Baka actually make friends in a game? All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Warner Brothers closed Monolith and now the Nemesis system is locked behind a patent for who knows how long. Fable has been delayed which sparked the age old conversation about when to announce games in relation to their actual viability. Konami and Bloober seem to be on fairly friendly terms and plan to work together again. Resident Evil is getting a movie series reboot. Acclaim is back, so developer reboot? And since Oak is out of town, the group rambles about Marvel Rivals again. Shocking. All this and much more ont his week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week the news is slim. NetEase canned the US dev team that worked on the wildly successful Marvel Rivals. Thanks to the lack of news, everyone gets carried away talking about comic books, novel mechanics, and lots of other random gaming-related things! All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: The Wonder Woman game is still not release ready, might not be for years. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is doing significant numbers. EA's CEO/Vampire thinks Dragon Age might have sold better if it was a live service game. GTA 6 is reportedly still on for this year despite delay rumors. Blizzard finally plans to give houses to its players (in-game, of course). Steam's implimenting a new feature. And Nintendo has some plans for Switch 2! In games we've played: Old stuff, new stuff, stuff that causes arguments, stuff that takes too much time. It was a lot of stuff! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

EA is shuttering the Origin app (though it seems its been dead for a while). The director of Dragon Age: The Veilguard is out after an eighteen year run with BioWare. And Xbox is apparently "evolving" in their ideology toward exclusive content. What's everyone been playing? Enshrouded, Supermarket Together, Mass Effect, Mafia, and so much more!

Welcome to 2025! Starting off with a longer show because why not? Not a lot of news here, mostly just opinions on everything from why games are so expensive to make to trying out games outside of AAA to all the stuff we've been playing.

In the news: After almost a decade, No Man's Sky is finally positive on Steam reviews! Playstation might be interested in buying the company that owns From Software and a bunch of other studios and properties. They're also looking at making a new handheld. Again. Riot is planning to start banning people who stream their games for bad behavior outside of just streams/games. And of course there's lots to discuss with all the nominees for this year's Game Awards. All this & much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

The Splinter Cell movie has been officially scrapped after almost two decades in the works. Nintendo is tracking people down thanks to the internet. Mass Effect has a show on the way from Amazon. And Blizzard has outlined all of its Warcraft related plans for the 30th anniversary of the original game. As for what everyone has been playing, lots of miscellaneous stuff, really. Lethal Company, Just Act Natural, and more party/group games. Also, Chicken broke Silent Hill 2. Because of course he did. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Sea of Thieves' latest update has been semi-rolled back as a few of the new features had to be disabled. Overwatch 2 is leaning into what people liked about the original Overwatch. Sony canned the studio responsible for Concord. The "devs" behind The Day Before just scrapped one Kickstarter and announced a new game at the same time. And of course people have leaked details of the Nintendo MMO playtest. Chicken and Grif just returned from vacation but that doesn't mean there's a shortage of gaming sessions to talk about! Lethal Company silliness, Silent Hill combat discussions, & scary school staff all get fun stories! All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week Bloober Team has announced a new game hot on the heels of their Silent Hill 2 launch. Nintendo is testing out *something* for the Switch in an online capacity, but they don't want their testers to say what. 343 Studios has changed their name to Halo Studios and dropped their Slipstream Engine in favor of Unreal Engine 5 for the next Halo game(s). And a former Playstation exec argues that there's a lack of creativity in the industry. Is he right? And yes, Grif will indeed talk A LOT about Silent Hill, but she'll keep it pretty spoiler free. Chicken's adding his own difficulty modifier to his playthrough. And Baka is back on his GTA V addiction. All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!   Discord: https://discord.gg/d7cEJqT Chicken's Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/elitechicken313 Oak's Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/MDBOAKTREE Grif's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@grifslynam

We're back! After an unintentional month hiatus, it's time to get back to it! In the news: Was Bobby Kotick actually right about something? Does it negate all of his absolutely terrible decisions? (Spoiler: it does not. At all.) Unity had a change of heart (after a swift change of CEO). Concord's downfall was being too positive? And Nintendo is finally getting around to suing the creators of Palworld. Will their suit hold up in court? It's been four weeks, has anyone found anything new to play? Grif's all hyped up about Silent Hill 2. Oak is making waves with Valheim mods. Is Deadlock the next new thing? All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Chicken necro'ed a topic from December! Can you resell your digital games? In more recent news... Concord isn't doing well. Yes it JUST released. No you probably haven't heard about it. At least not until now. (As of two days after recording this episode the game was canned by the studio, by the way.) Valve's new game is also a hero shooter and is apparently doing WAY better than Concord even though it was only just confirmed to have existed. New content is on the way for the October full launch of the Starship Troopers game! Randy Pitchford admits being wrong about something (in a roundabout way in which he doesn't actually say he was wrong). All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Baka survived the circus. The Borderlands movie is doing about as well as everyone with a connection to reality assumed it would. Tango Gameworks has a new home after being cut loose by Microsoft. Steam might be getting a better review system. Castlevania is coming to Dead by Daylight. Two games based around John Carpenter's Halloween are on the way (and one about Ash vs Evil Dead!). And good lort, get the popcorn and a comfy blanket, someone let Grif talk about Dragon Age. As for what everyone's been playing: Oak enjoyed Thank Goodness You're Here this week. And everyone's still full tilt into 7 Days to Die. All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Chicken's faith in another Darksiders game has finally paid off! While it was just a teaser, there was an announcement and he feels SO vindicated. Blizzard is moving some of their King staff over to make AA games based on existing franchises. Big layoffs hit Bungie but the CEO seems to be just fine. And Steam tweaked it's demo settings. On the gaming front: Chicken, Grif, & Baka (who is away at a Circus for this show) are really getting into 7 Days to Die now that it's hit full release. And the group can not get enough of Lethal Company as well! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Microsoft if changing the pricing and packaging of Game Pass. The Halo show is canned after two seasons. Steam is maybe not as big as you think (or does having contract work make a difference). And there's a Bioshock 4 "leaked screenshot" floating around. Is it impressive enough to garner attention? In games: There was no shortage of anger in the group over recent Lethal Company runs. (Don't worry, they love each other, they just argue like they don't!) Oak's excited about the new NCAA football game. And Grif is impressed with DOOM! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: SGDQ started and Chicken failed to remind everyone! Exoprimal is nearing extinction. Capcom shares more RE info. Ubisoft is being extra slow on movies and extra fast on AI usage. Also slow on announcing/working on some much requested remakes. Nintendo's not jumping on the AI train so quickly, though. And the new Dragon Age is offering a death-free difficulty which sparks conversation on what constitutes a difficulty curve in a game. As for what everyone has been playing, well it's all over the place! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Nintendo Direct had quite a few titles to discuss. Elden Ring's new DLC is getting some heavy criticisms. And Paradox canceled their upcoming Sims-like then immediately closed the studio. Grif, Baka, & Chicken started up a group run of Baldur's Gate 3. The whole team checked out a new (to them) ghost game. And Grif is baffled by some of the things in Immortals of Aveum. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week is all about the recent Summer Games Fest and Microsoft Showcase announcements! (PC show was happening right at the tail end of recording so we don't have much on that, sorry.) Will we be blown away by any of the upcoming games? Were there any surprises? Time to find out! Discord:   / discord   Chicken's Twitch:   / elitechicken313   Oak's Twitch:   / mdboaktree   Grif's YouTube:    / @grifslynam  

This week Chicken is vindicated! HE WAS RIGHT (again). In the news: Microsoft closed a few studios even though one of them gave them EXACTLY what they said they were looking for. Square Enix is tired of being exclusive. Nintendo very casually announced the Switch 2 by announcing they... weren't... announcing it yet. Yeah..... Sony surprisingly changed their mind about PSN requirements. Ghost of Tsushima is making huge numbers on it's Steam release. Ubisoft announced a Japan-based Assassin's Creed. GTA 6 won't be out till maybe Fall 2025. And apparently Valve's next game is a hero shooter MOBA. As for what everyone is playing, well lots of driving fast in Forza, Fallout 76, and some interesting updates to Content Warning. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Embracer Group splits into three companies. The names are... questionable at best. Warhammer will reportedly have a PvP mode. Resident Evil 9 might be getting a reveal soon. And of course the hot topic that had everyone talking last week, the Helldivers 2 and PSN drama! (Of course there was an update to that story the day after we recorded the show. OF COURSE!) And as for what everyone's playing: Racing. Really? Three out of the four are driving fast cars. Only two of those three are successful though. Would you care to guess who is good at it an who isn't?

This week the news is largely focused on games being made into TV and movies! What's working, what's not, what's next, and what we'd REALLY like to see. Also, the Dead Space sequel remakes are no more. And are most devs really worried about live service models for games? Is early access the way these days? What is the crew playing? A lot of games with friends, apparently. Always best when everyone has fun stories to share! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Take Two bought Gearbox from Embracer Group. There might be a new Splinter Cell on the way. Footage of the canned Batman game that turned into Shadow of Mordor is making the rounds. Xbox wants more digital storefronts and game preservation. New viral hit Content Warning devs say they're working on server issues. And as for what everyone's been playing? Well it's all over the place. From Halo to Diablo to Lethal Company, the crew has kept themselves busy! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week Oak's out and sometimes Baka's mic gets weird. Sorry in advance for that last one. In the news: The Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is off to a rough start. WB's MultiVersus fighter is back and launching in May. Capcom is giving everyone a raise. Tim Sweeny was a jerk in an email and someone replied with the classic "U Mad Bro". The next Mario Bros movie will be out in 2026. And SAG-AFTRA is considering a strike due to lack of protections when it comes to AI voice work. In non-news fun times, the N64 is all the rage at Grif & Chicken's house lately. Game funks all around lead to playing lots of smaller games. Sometimes breaks are good!

This week in the news: Supermassive and Sony are both laying people off in large chunks. Embracer Group is selling a couple of studios amid their continuing "restructuring". And the trailer for the upcoming Borderlands movie dropped. Is it top tier or trash? With the bad news out of the way, time to talk about what everyone has been playing lately! Turns out no one is a good teammate! WHAT?! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Embracer is no longer the good guys we all thought they were. Ubisoft's first AAAA game isn't looking too hot. Microsoft is looking to share a few of their exclusives with Nintendo and Sony. Helldivers 2 is doing so well the devs just weren't prepared! And the release of the Switch 2 has reportedly moved to Q1 2025. What's everyone been playing? Games with a lot of murder! First Class Trouble, Lethal Company, & SO much more!

This week Oak's out of town AGAIN. Too bad he'll miss a lot of fun stuff! In the news: Microsoft sent out a wave of layoffs across the company includes many from the newly acquired ActiBlizz. MS also might be behind with their next console launch. Will it hurt them to lag behind Sony? Speaking of Sony, Playstation State of Play was this week. Death Stranding 2 got a new trailer, more Silent Hill sneak peaks and debate, and Chicken is still very interested in Rise of the Ronin. Capcom might have up to five different Resident Evil games in the works at the moment. How many of them will we see this year? And for Chicken, Grif, and Baka, it's the end of an era as their World of Warcraft raiding days have come to an end. Luckily they also just started PalWorld to help them during this tough time.

This week Sea of Thieves is getting a fast travel system. Is the travel too much a part of the core of the game or is this going to be a well received addition? The Halo tv show is heading into the second season. Better than the first or more of the same? In other Halo news, maybe Halo Infinite isn't so *infinite* after all... The Xbox Developer Direct has a few interesting things to take a look at. And Ubisoft things you should be cool with not owning games if their subscription service is to be successful. Also the team is VERY interested in Palworld. Is that the next big group obsession? All that and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

Welcome to 2024 everyone! New year, same us? In the news: Kotick's GONE. People are starting to speak out on how he was to work around. Larian's working on fixing some BG3 Xbox bans. EA's decided not to be as aggressive with Frostbite anymore. Silent Hill 2 might be on the way this year and that might be why Bloober Team is looking at hooking up with another IP. A tale of two kids: One kid "beat" Tetris, another hacked into Rockstar. What happens now? And boy have some of us been busy with games and fun times! How lethal is Lethal Company anyway?

This week Grif finally finished the Saints Row Reboot. Was there anything she liked about it? Oak is wading through the Mistlands in Valhiem and it has been an interesting go at things. Baka can't get enough of the Half Sword demo and all of its flailing weirdness. And Chicken has been playing his new mobile game passively. He's been busy! In the news: Half-Life is 25 years old and it's getting a free update! Nintendo is a hard place to work at for some people. Shocking. Embracer Group is in the news for it's massive layoffs and also for not saying more about the Knights of the Old Republic remake. It's... a weird headline.

This week Baka is out but everyone else has plenty to chat about! Chicken and Grif (and Baka but he's not here) have started their journey in Conan Exiles. Is playing dress up part of the core gameplay? Grif's still working on Baldur's Gate 3 but everyone else needs to catch up! And Oak is trying out the newest Mario game. In the news: Epic is apparently adverse to making money. Is the good guy play just an act or is it bad business? Microsoft finally bought ActiBlizz and Bobby Kotick will be around till at least the end of the year. Will the buy out benefit everyone?

This week finally everyone is into the swing of BGG3! Or, wait no, again someone is left out. But not by choice this time! Who's game is struggling to run??? In the news: PlayStations head dude is retiring. The Microsoft acquisition of ActiBlizz might actually happen on Friday the 13th. That is assuming the FTC doesn't block it somehow because they're still trying. Epic is laying on folks at the studio behind Fall Guys. Bioware is laying off more QA Testers. (Who isn't laying people off these days?!) And Nintendo plans to release switch games until March 2025 which means the next console is right around the corner!

This week everyone's *STILL* on that BG3 binge. Even Baka's finally really gotten into it! Chicken's checking out Lies of Pi but man is he super ready for the Resident Evil 4 DLC. In the news: Sea of Thieves is getting a less stressful PvE mode. Also Unity isn't exactly interested in uniting people with their new divisive announcements and immediate retractions.

Stray is getting a movie adaptation. The next season of Castelvainia is on the way from Netflix. Nintendo let devs take a look at the Switch 2 (or whatever they call it in the long run).

Bioware kicked a lot of long term writers to the curb ahead of a new Mass Effect and a new Dragon Age. Microsoft and Ubisoft are getting friendly over streaming rights.

This week Exoprimal is all the rage! Is it fun to shoot wave after wave of dinosaurs while wearing a mech suit? Is someone not having fun? Is the game worth full price? In the news: You guessed it! More Activision/Blizzard and Microsoft news! How's that court stuff panning out for everyone involved? Also what's going on over at ActiBlizz in regards to their ESports divisions?

This week the crew revisits the idea of lengthy games and bloat vs story content. Are games too long? Is there too much BS on the map? Let's chat. In the news: Is Ubisoft remaking Assassin's Creed Black Flag? And what does that mean for Skull and Bones? Ark: Survival Ascended is delayed again. Is anyone shocked? Square Enix might remaster some of its older titles. Nic Cage is almost live in Dead by Daylight! And Bloober Team said they're "closing the ear" of psychological horror... but they're still working on Silent Hill 2. What's the deal with that?!

This week Grif fell into Dragon's Dogma. Chicken wanted everyone to try out a dino shooter demo but the time ran out. And Oak is doin' Oak things. In the news: The FTC hearings for the Microsoft-Acti/Blizz merger have started! What bombshells are being dropping in court this week? Will MS actually get to buy the company? There was also a nice Nintendo Direct. Oh and E3 was canceled. It shocked all of maybe three people who live under a rock. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week it's all about the new announcements. Summer Game Fest & the Microsoft show were definitely... things that happened. Let's discuss!

This week EVERYONE is stuck on Valhiem and how to best farm all the much needed resources. It's the new addiction it seems. In the news: Amazon is making an attempt at a Lord of the Rings MMO. It'll be under the control of the same devs that made New World for them. China and the European Commission approve the Microsoft acquisition of ActiBlizz. BlizzCon's coming back this year but will they get the response they hope for at the event after upsetting fans by ditching the PvE mode for Overwatch 2? (Yes, the mode that they said they had to remake the whole game around, that one.) The Five Nights at Freddy's movie has a teaser. And Nicolas Cage will be a character in Dead by Daylight because he's just that awesome. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week Grif unintentionally starts a LONG convo about what games would best benefit from a remake or a reboot. Lots of fun to think about what everyone would like to see get the makeover treatment. In the news: The UK doesn't like the ActiBlizz/Microsoft deal. People don't think the Switch can run CoD. Is that really the point though? Steam's beta testers are seeing a rework of the UI. And the new Star Wars game is struggling with several issues.

This week Chicken and Grif are trying out Valheim, Baka seems interested. Chicken also finished Resident Evil 4 and he is PUMPED to talk about it. Speaking of RE4, there are now microtransactions. People are kind of divided on how to feel about it. Oak is checking out Loop Hero. Is it everything he wanted? In the news: ARK 2 is delayed. Shocking, right? And Wildcard had some really out there ideas on how to sell it while also making old school fans angry. Perfect! Dark & Darker is still available... sort of. Will that hurt the devs when their case goes to court? And the Super Mario Bros movie is making tons of cash proving it's not impossible to make a successful video game movie!

This week Chicken and Baka have been trying out the Diablo 4 beta. Is it worth the hype? Chicken is IN LOVE with the Resident Evil 4 remake. Turns out it's good! Oak and Grif have been playing, well not a lot really. Good thing Chicken and Baka can carry this week's show! In the news: RE4 is off to a great start on Steam. Valve announced Counter Strike 2 and a cool anti-cheat system to go with it. Dark and Darker is taken down after Ironmace got a cease and desist letter. The CMA says Microsoft's acquisition of ActiBliz isn't going to kneecap Sony. And then MS had to assure folks they weren't pulling games from PS5 after a recent detail about Bethesda's Redfall came out. And can turtles also be, well, ninjas? How about Ronin? A God of War style Ninja Turtles game? Is Baka dreaming?! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week everyone had fun while deceiving each other in First Class Trouble. Well, most everyone had fun. One person did not. At all. And then Baka, Chicken, & Grif tried out the new free to play Puppet Master game! Turns out it was a lot of fun. Free on Steam if you're interested. Also, no we do not talk TLoU spoilers so don't worry about where to skip at. In the news: Sony is just getting weird and wild with their arguments against Microsoft. And is Dark and Darker a stolen game? Nexon seems to think so. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

Everyone's hyped up about being murderous in Gary's Mod Murder and TTT. Grif, Chicken, & Baka tried out a new ghost game that might give Phasmophobia a run for its money. In the news: Mostly Activision Blizzard acquisition drama. Still. The group speculates about Nintendo's next console. And Sony had a kind of lackluster State of Play.

This week Oak's away but everyone else had time to play! PlateUp, D&D, and Dead Space all get a moment in the spotlight! In the news: Is The Last of Us the best adaptation from game to screen? Did Sony cut their PSVR2 numbers? Halo dev 343 cut almost 100 people from their staff. The Coalition canceled two unannounced games to full focus another. Resident Evil 4 Remake got new footage and people are up in arms about... the rain. Of course. And Dragon Age: Dread Wolf may be too different for hardcore fans. Will it live up to the previous installments? All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!
