Analisi delle Conferenze e Tier ListIn questa puntata conclusiva della "Summer of Games", i redattori di Multiplayer.it analizzano e ordinano in una tier list tutti i principali titoli presentati durante gli eventi estivi. Il dibattito si concentra sulla qualità dei trailer mostrati, distinguendo tra il valore effettivo del gioco e l'efficacia della sua presentazione (gameplay vs teaser). Vengono discusse le strategie di Sony, Microsoft e degli eventi di Geoff Keighley, con un occhio critico verso la saturazione di remake, remaster e la scomparsa dei titoli di "fascia media" (i cosiddetti doppia A).Focus sui Titoli State of PlayIl primo blocco della tier list è dedicato alle novità di casa PlayStation. Si discute animatamente di Astro Bot, visto come una sorpresa positiva e fresca, contrapposto a titoli più divisivi come God of War Ragnarok per PC e il nuovo progetto di Santa Monica (Lofi). Emergono perplessità sulla direzione artistica di alcuni titoli horror e sulla gestione dei remake come Silent Hill 2, cercando di bilanciare le aspettative dei fan storici con la necessità di innovazione tecnologica.Focus sui Titoli Summer Game FestL'analisi si sposta sui titoli presentati durante l'evento di Geoff Keighley. Qui l'attenzione cade su produzioni eterogenee come Phantom Blade Zero, che stupisce per la tecnica ma solleva dubbi sulla concretezza del gameplay, e Dune: Awakening. Si riflette sulla crescente influenza dei developer asiatici e sulla tendenza a presentare trailer "cinematografici" che spesso nascondono le reali meccaniche di gioco, portando i redattori a sospendere il giudizio (categoria "Boh") per diversi titoli.Focus sui Titoli Xbox ShowcaseL'ultima parte è dedicata alla corposa conferenza Microsoft, giudicata da molti come la migliore per quantità di annunci, nonostante una chiusura (Call of Duty) ritenuta anticlimatica da alcuni redattori. Vengono promossi a pieni voti titoli come Fable, Clockwork Revolution e Doom: The Dark Ages. Il dibattito si accende su State of Decay 3 e sulla narrativa emergente, oltre che sulle strategie di esclusività di Microsoft e sull'impatto del Game Pass sul mercato.

Wir kommen aus dem Feiern nicht heraus: Diese Folgen nehmen wir am Cinco de Mayo auf. Wer oder was da gefeiert wird? Off-Topic-Hörer wissen mehr. Und sie haben trotzdem noch Fragen, die wir wie immer ausgiebig beantworten. Jürgen verrät außerdem, wie oft er sich das „Robin Hood“-Hörspiel von Europa gegeben hat, während Roland Post aus dem Buckingham Palace bekommen hat. Aus England kommt bekanntlich auch Enid Blyton, deren „Abenteuer“-Box tatsächlich in Deutschland am günstigsten zu haben ist. Der bislang leichteste Omnibus ist hingegen in den USA erschienen: Mike Grells „The Warlord Vol. 1“, in dem US-Pilot Travis Morgan bei einem Absturz am Polarkreis in einer ganz anderen Welt landet. Eine so schräge Story lässt sich nur noch mit einem Pink-Floyd-Diorama aus Nicht-Lego-Klemmbausteinen toppen. Jubel nicht nur bei Jürgen: Die Platin-Trophäe von „Astro Bot“ ist im Kasten. Nun hat er Zeit für, hüstel, Recherchen zu AIVR und ihren „Girlfriend“-Produkten. Roland meldet Platin in „Unpacking“ und „Cat Quest 1“ und hat sich wie Jürgen in „The Division: Resurgance“ New York auf dem Smartphone angeschaut. Einen deutlich besseren Ausflug machte er ebenfalls: Es ging auf einen Road Trip nach Südkalifornien – zum Final Fantasy 14 Fan Fest. Dort traf er japanische Entwickler, erfreulich spielbegeisterte PR-Manager und Kollegen aus ganz Europa. Klar, dass er ausführlich über seine Abenteuer in und um Anaheim berichtet. Jürgen hat es „nur“ zur Stay Forever Live geschafft, dort aber Boris Schneider-Johne getroffen und am größten Flipper der Welt gespielt. Kein Wunder, dass wir auch ohne Filmbesprechung die vier Stunden nur knapp verpassen. (Aufgenommen am 5. Mai 2026)

Abschiedsmelodien zum Start: Wir forschen nach, was es mit Fred Strittmatter und Quirin Amper jr. auf sich hat und lösen nach Jahrzehnten auf, welcher Titel ursprünglich hinter dem Song „Liebe Freunde von Otto“ steckt. Da passt mindestens namentlich der Podcast „Reflektor“, den Jürgen für sich entdeckt hat. Außerdem findet im Hause Hüsam am Aufnahmetag ein großer „Roblox“-Event statt – die Gelegenheit für Yuki, alle Hörer zu verbellen. Roland kann dank neuer Kontaktlinsen berichten, dass „Ghost Recon Wildlands“ bis auf zwei Trophäen abgehakt ist, und dass die „Splinter Cell“-Teile „Double Agent“, „Conviction“ und „Blacklist“ bereitstehen. Jürgen bringt gemischte Kunde: „Assassin’s Creed Shadows“ ist durch, in „Astro Bot“ fehlt immer noch eine Trophäe. Wir trösten uns mit einem Abstecher bei Amazon, Epic und Creative Assembly. Aus rein beruflichen Gründen ist Roland außerdem in „Star Trek: Starfleet Academy“ – dem Spiel, nicht der Serie! – sowie in „Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn“ unterwegs. Einige wenige Bittbriefe gilt es zu öffnen, dann berichtet Jürgen von seinen Flohmarkt-Abenteuern. Hat er über sich gebracht, eine Blu-ray zu erwerben? Oder investiert er weiter in tote Medien? So oder so ist ein „Winnetou“-Sammelalbum ein großartiger Fund. Im Fernsehen ist das Ende nahe: Die siebte Staffel von „Don Matteo“ serviert zum Ende etliche Mythology-Episoden, die siebte Staffel von „Buffy: Im Bann der Dämonen“ erreicht im Hause Hüsam ebenfalls ihren Höhepunkt. Betrübt müssen wir feststellen, dass wir tatsächlich verpasst haben, dass „Das Traumschiff“ Ostern erneut in See gestochen ist. Doch dafür waren wir mit John McClane in Washington, D.C. unterwegs.

Kommen wir ohne Umschweife zum Thema: Roland hatte Geburtstag und berichtet von den Aktivitäten an seinem Ehrentag. Im Zuge derer kam der Gedanke eines Podcasts zu den „Drei Fragezeichen“ auf. Doch, so dämpft Jürgen, sei das schon ein alter Hut – er selbst habe schon derartige Folgen eingesprochen. Dennoch tauchen wir einmal mehr in die Welt von Europa ab, dieses Mal sind Märchenhörspiele wie „Robin Hood“ und „Das Schlaraffenland“ an der Reihe. Und noch jemand teilt sich einen Geburtstag mit Roland: Ubisoft! Das mag so manches erklären … Uneins sind wir uns derweil, ob wir uns an „Casino Royale“ mit David Niven wagen wollen. Ein für August 2027 geplantes Remake von „Miami Vice“ versetzt indes Roland in freudige Erwartung, Jürgen hat Paul McCartneys neues Album „The Boys of Dungeon Lane“ im Gepäck. Und Heino war bei McDonalds. Gemeinsam staunen wir über die Marketingphrasen der Blizzard-Chefin und das spektakuläre DLSS 5 von Nvidia. Und wir gedenken des jüngst verstorbenen Chuck Norris, der Marketing und DLSS 5 nicht nötig hatte. Auf ein Spiele-Update – Roland: „ARC Raiders“ und „Ghost Recon Wildlands“, Jürgen: „Astro Bot“ – folgen die Hörerfragen und ein sensationeller Streaming-Betrug. Ins Kino kommt bald „EPiC“, auf der Mattscheibe hat sich „Star Trek: Starfleet Academy“ verabschiedet. Jürgen schaut derweil „Rambo“ für diese Story, „Daredavil: Born Again“ (S2) und „Buffy: Im Bann der Dämonen“ (S7), während Roland die siebte Staffel von „Don Matteo“ preist. Zum Schluss sinnieren wir über Erscheinungstermin und Preis der PlayStation 6, Roland war in einer Startup-Kirche und Jürgen spielt „I am Jesus“ – in diesem Sinne: Frohe, gesegnete Ostern!

Prenez un sac à vomi. On vous a prévenus. La réalité virtuelle, ça peut faire cet effet-là. Surtout quand on découvre un casque sur le toit d'une cathédrale de Milan, dans un stand de tourisme à l'Expo Universelle. Ou quand on se retrouve dans une salle VR pour un enterrement de vie de garçon, à taper sur des tambours vikings en rythme dans un Drakkar. Ou encore quand on achète un PSVR1 100€ sur Le Bon Coin dans le mois qui suit une PS4 reçue de son beau-frère. Dans ce nouvel épisode de NewGame+, Ace Bunny et HKR plongent dans le casque de réalité virtuelle de Sony — le premier, celui de la PS4 — avec un angle qu'ils assument : celui de deux joueurs qui ne sont pas des experts de la VR, qui n'ont pas fait tous les casques, et qui ont découvert cette technologie par la porte d'entrée PlayStation. Ce sera peut-être pour ça que leur retour est aussi honnête. Au programme : Comment on a découvert la VR HKR et son estomac qui a rendu les armes à Milan, son Samsung Galaxy S7 et son casque à clipser, sa conviction pendant des années que 600€ pour avoir envie de gerber c'était mauvais calcul, jusqu'à ce PSVR1 à 100€ sur LeBonCoin. Ace Bunny et son expérience en salle d'arcade VR lors d'un EVG, ses découvertes à la Cité des Sciences, et ce PSVR complet avec adaptateur PS5 déniché sur Vinted pour Noël. Deux profils de néophytes qui ont finalement tous les deux atterri dans le même casque. Un historique complet de la machine Est-ce que c'est une console ou un accessoire ? Un vrai écosystème ou un périphérique de la PS4 ? Ace Bunny retrace l'histoire du projet, rappelle que Sony avait déjà produit des casques 3D bien avant le PSVR, et évoque comment le PlayStation VR s'est construit entre 2016 et sa fin de vie, avec ses forces, ses limites techniques, et ses compromis de conception. Le hardware et les accessoires Écran OLED 5,7 pouces, 1920x1080, 90 ou 120Hz, accéléromètre, gyroscope, champ de vision à 100 degrés. La PlayStation Camera comme sensor bar obligatoire. La DualShock 4, dont le PSVR exploite enfin pleinement toutes les capacités cachées (détection de mouvement, pavé tactile) bien mieux que la plupart des jeux PS4. Et les PS Move, ces manettes de la PS3 ressortis du tiroir : batterie catastrophique, pas de stick, pas de comparaison possible avec les concurrents, mais parfois bien utiles quand même. L'anecdote d'Ace Bunny qui a failli arracher sa PS5 de son meuble en pleine session de golf. La ludothèque : le vrai sujet Étonnamment riche pour un casque de cette génération. PlayStation VR Worlds comme tutoriel des capacités du casque avec London Heist, véritable pépite d'ambiance Snatch de Guy Ritchie, qui reste l'un des sommets du PSVR. Tetris Effect et son immersion sensorielle unique. No Man's Sky et ses sessions de 3-4 heures en VR pour HKR, avec le système de téléportation qui règle le problème de la cinétose. Moss, coup de cœur de HKR, un jeu puzzle-platformer onirique, adapté nativement à la VR, que sa femme a fini en entier. Resident Evil 7, Ace Combat, Batman Arkham VR, Everybody's Golf VR (moins convaincant). Et bien sûr : Astro Bot Rescue Mission, dernier grand jeu de Japan Studio, premier du personnage qui deviendra une mascotte PlayStation, leur débat sur qui est le meilleur jeu du PSVR n'est pas si tranché qu'il y paraît. La fin de vie et le PSVR2 qui a déçu L'absence totale de rétrocompatibilité entre PSVR1 et PSVR2, la vraie raison selon Ace Bunny du semi-échec commercial du successeur. Un casque PSVR2 techniquement solide, avec de bonnes manettes, sorti à 600€, mais sans la ludothèque de son prédécesseur. La fenêtre 2016-2020 comme âge d'or des Triple A en VR : RE7, No Man's Sky, Half-Life Alyx, Astro Bot, une époque où les éditeurs croyaient encore au marché. Et l'hypothèse d'un avenir via l'émulation PS4 sur PC qui permettrait peut-être de redécouvrir cette ludothèque sur des casques de meilleure qualité. Le verdict en 2026 150€ tout compris, des jeux entre 5 et 30€ en occasion, une PS4 ou une PS5 avec adaptateur, et vous avez la meilleure porte d'entrée dans la VR pour les curieux qui ne veulent pas risquer 300€ sur un Meta Quest dont ils ne savent pas s'ils vont s'en servir. Un casque désuet dans le bon sens du terme, avec une touche rétro qui fait partie de son charme. Bonus Une coupure de connexion en Savoie, un imposteur qui révèle son code-barre, et le vrai Ace Bunny qui intervient depuis un endroit indéfini. La VR, décidément, ça perturbe les esprits. Jeux évoqués : PlayStation VR Worlds (London Heist, Ocean Descent, VR Luge), Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Moss (et sa suite), No Man's Sky, Tetris Effect, Resident Evil 7, Ace Combat 7, Batman Arkham VR, Everybody's Golf VR, DriveClub VR, Star Wars Squadrons, Half-Life Alyx Casques évoqués : PSVR1, PSVR2, HTC Vive, Meta Quest, Samsung Gear VR Intervenants : Ace Bunny, HKRMontage et mixage : Ace_BunnyTechnique, diffusion et hébergement : Mugen_Pascal

Einen Tag nach der Game Developers Conference in San Francisco hat Roland natürlich viele Storys zum Treffen von Spieldesignern aus aller Welt dabei. Und er erklärt: Was ist Alt.Ctrl? Welche Sessions waren der Hit? Worum geht es bei den GDC Nights? Und wie sieht die Verpflegung im Moscone Center aus? Noch mehr Geschichten zum „Festival of Gaming“ findet ihr hier, hier, hier, hier, hier und hier. Nach 2016 und 2019 gab es im März leider keinen Nachfolger von „The Division 2“ – Zeit, wenigstens die passende Platin-Trophäe im Hause Austinat ins Regal zu stellen. Platin-Papst Jürgen fehlt dazu in „Astro Bot“ noch genau eine knifflige Trophäe. Abregung verspricht im Hause Hüsam dann „Michael Jackson: The Experience“, während Roland in „Ghost Recon: Wildlands“ zehn durch einen Ubisoft-Serverabsturz unverteilten Trophäen in Bolivien nachspürt. Als nächstes hat Roland „Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn“ auf der PS5 ins Auge gefasst – und liebäugelt mit dem Überraschungshit „ARC Raiders“. Jürgen hat derweil beim Ocean-Buch-Kickstarter mitgemacht und Updates zu „Let’s Dance“ und „DSDS“ im Gepäck. Große Freude bei Roland: Die vierte Staffel von „The Orville“ ist drehbuchseitig fertig. Großer Kummer bei Jürgen: Eine neue „Buffy“-Staffel fällt ins Wasser. Immerhin hat er jetzt die Musical-Folge gesehen – und „Zoomania“, auch schon wieder ein Jahrzehnt alt. Dann gibt es noch eine spektakuläre Premiere: Roland chattet während der Aufnahme mit dem Amazon-Kundendienst, weil ein Buch beim Versand arg zerdeppert wurde. Außerdem berichtet er über den Start von Tim und Struppi bei Lego, leider preislich total inakzeptabel. Spannend hingegen die „Tintin“-Lizenzausgabe aus der Schweiz. (Aufgenommen am 15. März 2026)

Dieses Mal starten wir mit Schach, besser: einem lernenden Schachspiel für den CPC sowie der Frage, seit wann das Schachspielen auf offener Straße in San Francisco verboten ist. Und wo wir gerade vor Ort sind: Umbaumaßnahmen, Wetter und andere Kapriolen aus dem „Baghdad by the Bay“ dürfen nicht fehlen. Jürgen ist seinerseits nicht mehr auf Twitter und erklärt die Gründe. Um die Lebensmittelpreise in San Francisco geht es in einer Hörerfrage, Jürgen fragt seinerseits nach dem bestverkauften Album aller Zeiten. Nein, es ist nicht „Thriller“ von Michael Jackson. Roland erlebte seinen eigenen Thriller beim zweimaligen Besuch des örtlichen Straßenverkehrsamtes und dachte sich: „Wenn mir mitten im Deadline-Trubel deswegen schon zwei halbe Tage fehlen, zerschieße ich an einem weiteren Tag mal grundlos mein PC-BIOS.“ Zu den angenehmeren Dingen des Lebens: Roland ist endlich im „Battle for Brooklyn“-DLC für „The Division 2“ angekommen, Jürgen bleibt bei „Astro Bot“ auf Medaillenkurs. Es folgen gemischte Nachrichten aus dem Showbusiness, inklusive James Bond, John Williams, den Kaulitz-Brüdern sowie Neues von „Let’s Dance“ und „Don Matteo“ – „Star Trek: Starfleet Academy“ hat sich Roland immer noch nicht zu schauen getraut. Wild her geht es in der Spielebranche: Sony macht die Bluepoint Studios dicht, Microsoft macht eine KI-Expertin zur neuen Xbox-Chefin, Ubisoft kündigt eine neue „Assassin’s Creed Shadows“-Roadmap und neue Anführer an, derweil nehmen erfahrene Designer wie Clint Hocking („Far Cry“, „Watch Dogs“) und Julian Gerighty („The Division“, „Star Wars Outlaws“) ihren Hut. Wir für heute auch. (Aufgenommen am 28. Februar 2026)

In this episode Bryan and Clint dive into Astro Bot, the 2024 PlayStation 5 platformer developed by Team Asobi and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Building on the foundation of the pack-in hit Astro's Playroom, the studio expands the concept into a full-scale adventure that celebrates three decades of PlayStation history. The guys explore how the game blends inventive platforming, playful level design, and clever uses of the DualSense controller into a tightly paced quest where players rescue lost robots and rebuild their PS5 mothership so the Astro Bots can get their interstellar dance party back on track.Astro Bot balances nostalgia with accessibility, appealing to longtime gamers while remaining instantly readable for kids and newcomers. Listen in as we revisit the game's joyful structure, colorful hub worlds, creative abilities, spectacular boss battles, and homage levels inspired by iconic PlayStation franchises like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted, and Ape Escape. Astro Bot is a rare AAA platformer bursting with wonder, a game that captures the pure joy of play and bridges generations of players through curiosity, creativity, and delight.Join for the dancing robots, stay for the testimonials from budding, young gamers (AKA Clint's sons)!Three Word Reviews:Clint - Pure Gaming JoyBryan - Wide Eyed Wonder

Wer sagt denn, dass es bei Off Topic nur um die großen Themen gehen muss? Heute starten wir mit Haushalts-News aus San Francisco und Höhr-Grenzhausen. So saugt Jürgen seine Böden jetzt nass, während Roland noch immer auf seine Weihnachtspost wartet. Dazu passend studiert Jürgen unter anderem „Die Verkrempelung der Welt“ von Gabriel Yoran. Bei Roland heißt es passenderweise „Out of Alcatraz“. Dazu kommt Neues in Schrift und bewegten Bildern von den Drei Fragezeichen nebst Biographien von Mechner und Meier – sowie „The Human Target“ aus dem DC-Universum, das Superhelden und 007-Agentenstories mixt, Farbschnitt inklusive. Solche Mixturen müssen nicht immer gelingen, wie entsprechende Werke über die Beatles und die Welt der Videospiele zeigen. Fast schon einer dieser legendären Deep Dives! Videospiele? Na klar: „Astro Bot“, „The Witcher 3“, „Jagd auf Roter Oktober“ sind es bei Jürgen und seiner Tochter, Roland hat Edward Kenways Kostüme in „The Division 2“ nebst Season-Reise im Sack. Themenverwandt fragen wir: Wo bleibt das nächste „Splinter Cell“? Was kann „Kena: Scars of Kosmora“? Und was gibt es Neues von „007 First Light“? An „Star Trek: Starfleet Academy“ haben sich noch nicht alle Hosts gewagt, dafür kaufte Jürgen eine Couch und hörte bei dem Besuch von Karnevalsumzügen deutsche Negermusik. Unglaublich, aber wahr: Selbst der Enkel von Ernst Neger ist heute mit den Humbas in Sachen Frohsinn unterwegs. Sportlich interessierte Zuhörer mögen sich noch fragen: Was machen die Winterspiele in Italien mit uns? Wir haben die Antwort – auch darauf, ob „Stirb Langsam“ wirklich ein Weihnachtsfilm ist.

Na een lekker weekend is het tijd voor een nieuwe werkweek. Het is aan het driemanschap Boris, Jasper en Koos om de verse werkdagen in te luiden. Drie heren die allemaal goed van de tongriem gesneden zijn. Het vocaal inluiden gebeurt middels een nieuwe aflevering van Brievenmaandag. Vragen zijn er volop. Bijvoorbeeld waarom de plotselinge veranderingen aan de nieuwe Assetto Corsa, wat de juiste mascotte zou zijn voor PlayStation en wat we vinden van gamen op een beamer. Je krijgt de antwoorden op deze prangende vragen en meer in de Brievenmaandag van maandag 2 maart 2026.Wat is de ideale mascotte voor PlayStation?We hebben de afgelopen maanden regelmatig vragen gehad van communityleden die op vakantie gingen naar Tokyo en van ons wilden weten welke toffe zaken ze daar konden doen. Vandaar dat we de Guide to Tokyo hebben gemaakt. Maar nu is er een vraag die de omgekeerde weg hanteert. Iemand uit de community die woonachtig is in Japan komt hier naartoe met zijn Japanse vrouw en baby. Wat moet hij hier gaan doen? Hebben we tips? Vooral voor babyvriendelijke activiteiten. Weten de drie een behulpzaam antwoord te geven op deze vraag? Je merkt het als je deze video bekijkt of beluistert.Zijn we allemaal NPC's in een computer simulatie?Iemand vraagt wat een goede mascotte, vergelijkbaar met Mario, zou kunnen zijn die PlayStation goed kan vermarkten? Astro Bot lijkt het te zijn momenteel, maar die is toch erg gezichtsloos? Of zijn we een andere mening toegedaan? En, als Boris erbij zit, dan weet je dat er altijd wel een conspiracy-driven vraag bij zit. Zo wil iemand weten of hij denkt dat we NPC's zijn en als zodanig geboren worden? Je-weet-wel, de computersimulatie waar we in zitten. Wat is Boris' antwoord hierop en hebben Jasper en Koos hier ook enige input voor handen?Schaf de Vector 16 HX gaming laptop aan en krijg er Resident Evil Requiem gratis bijMSI showt deze week de Vector 16 HX. Het betreft een gaming laptop met daarin een Intel Core Ultra 7 (Series 2) processor, een NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, een 1TB SSD, een 16” 240Hz QHD display, 24-zone RGB toetsenbord en een Thunderbolt 5 aansluiting. Deze pittige laptop is nu hier bij MeGekko verkrijgbaar voor een scherpe prijs én je krijgt er ook nog eens Resident Evil Requiem bij.

Essen, San Francisco – Hauptsache Off Topic! Nach seiner großen Deutschlandtournee ist Roland wieder wohlbehalten in Kalifornien angekommen. Nur seine Post ist das nicht, wie schon im letzten Jahr. Trotzdem warten 28 Bittbriefe nebst Taschen-Post darauf, in dieser Folge geöffnet zu werden – ein Diorama der USS Hornet inklusive. Große Freude: Roland konnte gleich drei PS5-Controller von ihrer Linkslastigkeit befreien und sogleich bei einem „Assassin’s Creed“-Event in „The Division 2“ einsetzen. Jürgen hat derweil bald zwei Drittel der 301 Bots in „Astro Bot“ gesammelt und viele Themenwelten besucht. Gelesen wird auch, und zwar die „Assassin’s Creed Dynasty“-Box, „Jagd auf Roter Oktober“ und „Sid Meier’s Memoirs!“. Obendrein teasert Jürgen ein neues Buch von Bitmap Books an: „Leaps & Bounds: A Visual Guide to 9 Console Generations“. Roland bringt themenverbunden einen neuen Stargast ins Gespräch. Nach einem kurzen Zwischenstopp bei „Assassin’s Creed“-Designer Alexandre Amancio und Werbung für Jürgens episch langen Harry-Potter-Artikel blicken wir auf die Nominierungen für die Goldenen Himbeeren 2026. Eine Kandidatin hat besonders Roland im Visier, während Jürgen sich noch immer nicht durch die erste Folge von „Star Trek: Starfleet Academy“ kämpfen konnte. Dafür hat er mit „Wonder Man“ eine neue Marvel-Serie gestartet. Ein wahres Wunder – Achtung, Wortwitz! – war Rolands Besuch im Lagerhaus: Neben der Bundeslade war noch Platz für neue Einlagerungen, und obendrein gab es Gratis-Getränke von Elephant Bay. Nach Würdigungen von Scott Adams und Erich von Däniken gibt’s deutlich weniger Spiele als sonst zu holen, preist Roland die siebte Staffel von „Don Matteo“ und gesteht Jürgen, eine „Traumschiff“-Folge mit Kapitän Sascha Hehn gesehen zu haben. Und dann waren da noch „Die Goonies“ … (Aufgenommen am 31. Januar 2026)

AstroBot est le résultat d'une longue maturation pour la Team Asobi, passée par de nombreuses époques et itérations autour du petit robot. C'est un platformer 3D abouti, riche et tout le temps en mouvement. Peut-être pas encore au niveau de son inspiration principale, mais un bel hommage à tout ce pan de la culture JV.

Sony has accomplished a truly rare feat in this contentious era by providing players with a widely-lauded hour-plus State of Play presentation. At the top of the heap of announcements for many are a duo of God of War-related unveilings -- the long-rumored 2.5D Metroidvania game and an early-in-development ground-up remake of the original PS2 and PS3 trilogy -- with the former project stealth released at the time of its reveal. That's right: You can buy it right now! 29 other games were showcased, revealed, and otherwise shown off during the proceedings as well, like a new Castlevania called Belmont's Curse, a sequel to Kena: Bridge of Spirits called Scars of Kosmora, a AAA John Wick project, stealth title Yakoh: Shinobi Ops, the second volume of Konami's Metal Gear Collection, and much, much more. Plus, fresh looks at Saros, Resident Evil: Requiem, Marathon, Mina the Hollower, Beast of Reincarnation, Marvel Tokon, Control Resonant, Pragmata, 4LOOP, and so on. Other news rounds things out this week -- like steep layoffs at Highguard studio Wildlight and casting details for 2027' Helldivers film -- before we move onto listener inquiries. Who are some of our favorite black characters in gaming history? Why exactly doesn't Colin care about sports games anymore? Should Sony more heavily pursue Astro Bot spinoffs? Did the all-Spanish Super Bowl Halftime Show send any of us into an unspeakable rage?

Roland sitzt schon fast auf gepackten Koffern – ob er uns verrät, was mit über den Atlantik muss? Freude und Leid liegen derweil eng beieinander: Während Dolly Parton in diesen Tagen ihren 80. Geburtstag feiert, erinnern wir an die Schauspielerin und Tierschützerin Brigitte Bardot, die mit 91 Jahren gestorben ist – und geben einen kurzen Einblick in ihren Film „Viva Maria“. Noch während der Aufnahme dieser Folge ereilt uns obendrein die Meldung, dass auch Modeschöpfer Valentino Garavini das 96. Lebensjahr nicht mehr erreichen wird. Musik statt Schwermut: Das Instrument des Jahres 2026 ist das Akkordeon – und Jürgen spielt es, so wie sein Idol Florian Silbereisen! Dennoch lassen weder er noch Roland ein gutes Haar an Straßenmusikern aus dem In- und Ausland. Und nach Rolands kurzem Reiserückblick der letzten zwei Wochen und Jürgens Abenteuern beim Hosenkauf geht es endlich zu den Videospielen. Hier muss Jürgen dieses Mal den Löwenanteil beisteuern: Er spielt zur Freude der ganzen Familie „Astrobot“, während er auf der PlayStation 2 aus reinen Recherchegründen in „Harry Potter und die Kammer des Schreckens“ Hogwarts und Winkelgasse unsicher macht. Sogar für „Gargoyles Remastered“ bleibt Platinpapst Jürgen noch Zeit. Roland fragt sich derweil, wo Neuigkeiten zu „The Division 3“ oder „Assassin’s Creed Hexe“ bleiben – Jürgen hat Antworten. Da bleibt Roland nur noch der Griff zur Flasche – Lamotte Lebertran von Henry Lamotte – und in die Statistiktruhe: Weiß Jürgen, welche Spiele 2025 in den USA die Top 5 der PlayStation-5-Spieler waren? Kennt er die traurige Wahrheit über das dortige Leseverhalten? Und hat er schon einmal etwas von „Performative Reading“ gehört? Zeit, dass das Traumschiff in See sticht: Es geht nach Madique in Südafrika, das dummerweise nicht am Meer liegt. (Aufgenommen am 19. Januar 2026)

After wanting to play it ever since it was first announced, I finally played, beat, and loved Astro Bot; it reminded me of when I used to love PlayStation and those PS2 days that'll always be the best gaming time of my life. But that's not all folks, in addition to Astro Bot, I talk about Stray and CloverPit, beating the former and being done with the latter. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

From the opening cutscene to the final boss, Astro Bot is both one of the greatest platformers ever made and a joyous celebration of 30 years of Playstation history.

Our yearly show with Engaged Family Gaming, where we talk about what video games might be on your kids’ wishlists. 00:00 Fact for 412 412 is the area code for Pittsburgh (and they seem really proud of it). The most people washing dishes simultaneously is 412 and was achieved by Henkel (Algeria) and Pril-Isis, in Algiers, Algeria, on 16 June 2017. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/112306-most-people-washing-dishes-simultaneously Sponsor Message If you want some help finding solid footing underneath you, or help finding the right step to leap to the next level, head to firstmovefinancial.com/familygamers to schedule a quick phone call and see how First Move can help. 0:04:30 What We’ve Been Playing – with November Monthly Report! Anitra: 54 plays of 28 unique games. H-index: 4 (Chit Chat, Trio, INK, Leaders, Odin) – and Andrew is the most played-with person by a huge margin! Andrew: 40 plays of 18 unique games. H-index 4 (Chit Chat, Leaders, Odin, Trio). 35 games together with Anitra! Pretty much everything was 2 players or 5 players. Check out our recent reviews for INK and Odin.LeadersJungo (check out our review!)Logic & LoreS’mores Galore Roast & WriteFor Sale 0:10:40 The Family Gamers Community Welcome to our newest community members on Facebook! In these darkest days of the year, let’s share some light with each other. Stop in and say hello. #Backtalk We asked what you like to do with your family that ISN’T boardgames. A few of you answered on the #backtalk channel on the Discord and in our Facebook community. 0:19:00 Video Games with Engaged Family Gaming Stephen Duetzmann helps us with the best video games to give this year, via the Engaged Family Gaming holiday list. But first we talk about videogames we’ve been playing: Dogpile (on Steam)Metroid Prime 4Dredge (more info)Hollow Knight: Silksong (which Andrew just finished – more info) 0:36:00 Consoles PS5 or Xbox Series X – They are very expensive and not focused on family-friendly titles. Not recommended unless you really want it for games you can’t get elsewhere. 0:37:15 Multi-platform Games Civilization VII – the rough edges have been sanded off. Pick a leader, but jump to different civilizations in each age. Plays pretty well on any console and on PC, but if you have a Switch 2, buy it for that system, so you can use the mouse controller. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown – turn based tactical game that still forces you to move forward like a typical side-scrolling brawler. Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar – cozy “farm and town” game with engine-building. Has a week cycle as well as a day cycle. Sonic Racing: Crossworlds – good if you don’t have Mario Kart. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted 0:45:00 Playstation Exclusives “Playstation didn’t put out anything that didn’t involve mass-murder.” Ghost of Yotei – only for grownups, but gorgeous. nothing else really new, but Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII, and Spider-man 2 are still great choices. 0:46:50 Xbox Exclusives Also not much new that isn’t “headshot-central”. But Star Wars Outlaws is updated and even better than it was last year. 0:47:45 Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 Both consoles are good choices: Switch 2 is very cool. Original Switch is the value choice, and those games will still work if you decide to upgrade later to the Switch 2. Mario Kart World Donkey Kong Bananza Also recommended: Metroid Prime 4 – if you liked Metroid Primeand Kirby Air Riders “If you get a Switch 2, don’t limit yourself to just Switch 2 games” – get older original Switch games, too. A lot of them have been updated for the better graphics of the Switch 2, and they’ll be great! 0:53:00 Online Play and Online Sales You need to do the math and decide if these are worth it for your family. Good alternative to buying a single game if you don’t know what game your recipient would want. Nintendo Switch Online – $80 for up to 8 users (don’t all have to be in the same location), even cheaper if you only need one user. This is absolutely necessary to play online AND gives you access to a bunch of older games. XBox Game Pass – probably not worth it JUST for kids. Worth it for Andrew & Anitra, where we have many people all taking advantage. PS Plus – again, needed for online play. Minimum $80/year for the Essentials plan. As always: If you're buying a console for a holiday present, do NOT leave it in the box! Don't forget to set it up before Christmas! (Plug in, connect to the internet, download updates, install a game or two. You might need to update the firmware on the controller.) It's a much more effective surprise if it's ready to play on Christmas morning. And don’t forget about free to play games like Fortnite or Disney Speed Storm! Those are good to add ahead of time so they can play right away. And don't forget about The Family Gamers holiday gift guide, too!

It's game award season, and my review of GOTY contender Hollow Knight: Silksong is going live this week, so I figured I'd deep into our Patreon archives and upload my review of last year's Game of the Year, the spectacular Astro Bot, to the free feeds.

For this extra weekend Kevin gathers up more hopeful future game ideas from part of the Trophy Talk cast and Discord. We start with a follow-up to Max's latest episode of the Moogle Cast where Kevin was a guest for a breakdown of the Bioshock series. This time he digs into an old folder on his hard drive to share an idea he had for a future game that would follow up Bioshock Infinite. While it still feels like Bioshock, it's a new concept, setting, and story that would include the epic and grand ideas that the series is known for. Then Max takes the stage and shares his extremely detailed design for what the next game for Astro Bot should be. He covers how it should help launch the PlayStation 6 in the same way Astro's Playroom helped the PlayStation 5 and also how it might redeem Sony's failed attempt at live-service games (eeeww). As detailed as some of Kevin's ideas have been, they are nothing compared to what Max has prepared for this game. To follow that up Jordan Vickers stops to pitch some of his ideas for three games that he wants to see. He starts off with a few easy concepts for games that sound like they are perfect new directions for the series they come from, and then pitches a third game that would reboot a long-dead game from the 90's that not many of us have heard of. After finding footage of it and seeing a trailer for a failed reboot, this game has to be made. Gary from the Platinum Achievements podcast then joins in to give some ideas for a few beloved series that already have plenty of games, but deserve even more spin-off ideas into other genres. After a few of these game ideas both Kevin and Gary realize they need to start a game studio because they seem to be so good at adding to each other's ideas. We hope you all have a great weekend and have a great time listening to some more of our lofty dream game ideas. Be excellent to each other!

Reports claim Insomniac's long-awaited Wolverine game is finally set to launch in 2026, followed by a Venom spin-off in the Spider-Man universe. Could Venom arrive as a PlayStation 6 exclusive? And after the tragic passing of Tony Todd, will Insomniac reuse his unused dialogue, recast, or risk AI? We also break down the latest rumors that a new PlayStation State of Play is scheduled for next week, with Wolverine almost certain to make an appearance. What other reveals could Sony have in store — Judas, Little Devil Inside, or even a God of War Metroidvania? On top of that, Sony has reaffirmed its mission to remain the leader in single-player storytelling, with Astro Bot, Ghost of Yotei, Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, and more showcasing the strength of PlayStation's first-party lineup. If you're excited for Wolverine, curious about the Venom spin-off, or waiting for the next big State of Play, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
