En konkurrent til The Witcher?The Blood of Dawnwalker er et tredjepersons-action-RPG udviklet af Rebel Wolves og udgivet af Bandai Namco.Rebel Wolves blev grundlagt i 2022 af en gruppe tidligere ansatte fra CD Projekt Red, blandt andre Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, som var instruktør på The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.Nu, kun fire år efter grundlæggelsen af deres studie, er deres første spil ude. The Blood of Dawnwalker, og det er et ambitiøst et af slagsen.Du spiller som Coen, hvis familie bliver taget af en gruppe vampyrer, der hersker dér, hvor de bor. Hvad værre er, at Coen selv er blevet gjort til en vampyr. Det monster, han hader. Men Coen er noget så sjældent som en Dawnwalker. En vampyr, der kun bliver forvandlet til en vampyr om natten, og derfor godt kan gå rundt om dagen.Du har 30 dage til at redde din familie, og det betyder, at tid er en værdifuld valuta, og alt, du laver, koster tid. Det betyder også, at du ikke kan nå at lave alt i spillet. Du må strategisk vælge, hvad du bruger tid på.Inspirationen fra The Witcher er tydelig i The Blood of Dawnwalker, men kan Rebel Wolves faktisk lave et spil, som kan konkurrere mod deres tidligere arbejdsplads?Alt det og meget mere skal vi finde ud af nu, for nu skal vi nemlig anmelde The Blood of Dawnwalker.I denne episode deltager Lau Eskildsen, Felix Sanchez og Morten Urup.Tusind tak fordi du lytter med.

Chat Transcript: 6:58 PM@eathdemon​​11 days til sky 2nd chapter remake lol 6:59 PM@eathdemon​​also zelda direct on tuesday 7:00 PM@eathdemon​​zelda 40th anaversory tuesday and genaral direct wensday 7:01 PM@eathdemon​​im looking foword to oot remake, yes im going to buy one game I consider one of the best of all time lol 7:01 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I have to admit, gaming has pretty much lost all its appeal for me. 7:04 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I think that was a preorder bonus. I do not recall which game. 7:05 PM@eathdemon​​its being made by monilith aparently 7:09 PM@eathdemon​​we know that, the avrage person does not 7:10 PM@eathdemon​​skeets lol which is a awful name lol 7:12 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Skeets only works if it is in relation to Booster Gold. 7:13 PM@eathdemon​​if this makes it to trial sony loses, b/c while we know we are not buying the game, most dont 7:13 PM@jaredknisely6213​​they wont be in the right when they will be the only publisher that views it that way 7:19 PM@jaredknisely6213​​as in of the big 3, they view digital differently 7:21 PM@jaredknisely6213​​Microsoft recently stated that the game licenses were basically owned by the account 7:21 PM@jaredknisely6213​​through the disc to digital statement 7:21 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Nearly the entire industry is in a race to the bottom. 7:27 PM@addictedtochaos2​​This is why I buy physical games. 7:32 PM@jaredknisely6213​​yes if you ignore nintendo 7:32 PM@jaredknisely6213​​their sales are 70-30 7:32 PM@jaredknisely6213​​or higher 7:33 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Take into consideration the massive amount of indie games that don't get a physical release, they count the “free” games claimed on PS+ as a digital sale. And their own first party games tend… 7:33 PM@addictedtochaos2​​To sell more physical than digital, with MLB the Show being the outlier. 7:34 PM@jaredknisely6213​​you also have to remove the pc market since 99.9%of the sales are digital 7:37 PM@jaredknisely6213​​what i meant was Nintendo sales are heavily physical tilted 7:40 PM@addictedtochaos2​​My backlog will last me the rest of my life, but at this point I have no motivation to actually play any of them. 7:43 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The problem with Game-Key Cards is that it is largely the big publishers that are using them, the smaller ones (so far at least) are using actual game cards. 7:50 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Every UBISOFT, EA, Square, Bandai Namco, game on Switch 2 has been a key card, Atari, Marvellous, and a few others have been complete on cart games. 7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I saw Coyote Vs. Acme. It was fun. 7:55 PM@artoflynndylee​​I hope to see Cayote vs. Acme released here in the theaters. 7:57 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Rise of Skywalker was bad due to The Last Jedi writing them into a corner. 8:12 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The mistake they made was not planning out the entire trilogy in advance. 8:15 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Not planning it out, is why The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker turned out the way they did. 8:17 PM@addictedtochaos2​​It was because they were trying to undo the damage caused by The Last Jedi but their hands were tied. 8:19 PM@jaredknisely6213​​chaos you cant convince him when he like last jedi 8:20 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Yes it did, I will die on that hill. 8:20 PM@jaredknisely6213​​well, it did it killed luks 8:21 PM@jaredknisely6213​​luke's character 8:23 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The Last Jedi was a complete character assassination of Luke. 8:23 PM@addictedtochaos2​​One of the greatest movie heroes of all time, reduced to that. 8:23 PM@artoflynndylee​​Luke died? Sorry don't really watch Star Wars. Only here and there 8:31 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Obi Wan and Yoda were in hiding because they were being hunted. 8:31 PM@artoflynndylee​​Forced too hard?!?! LMAO! 8:34 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Agreed 8:34 PM@jaredknisely6213​​he is referring to a hero that wanted to save his fallen father 8:34 PM@jaredknisely6213​​but as soon as he sees another family member go down the wrong path.... time to ice him 8:35 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Correct Jared

In dieser Folge nehmen wir die Highlights von SEGA, Atlus und Bandai Namco unter die Lupe!

Persona 4 Revival & Stranger than Heaven: Atlus schickt uns mit dem lang ersehnten Persona 4-Remake zurück nach Inaba – wir verraten, was der spielbare Messe-Ausschnitt taugte. Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick auf das stylische Jazz-Noir-Projekt Stranger than Heaven. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3: Bandai Namco lässt wieder die Fäuste fliegen!

Jetzt reinhören und erfahren, welche Anspielstationen vor Ort die langen Schlangen wirklich wert waren!

Ein weiteres Jahr gamescom ist rum.

Dieses Jahr war die Sehnsucht sogar so groß, dass auch Bea wieder vor Ort war und gemeinsam sind wir von Termin zu Termin gehüpft, haben uns abendlichen Events gewidmet und sind nach einer Woche voller Eindrücke und wenig Schlaf jetzt zurück zuhause angekommen, um euch von unseren Highlights zu erzählen. Das tun wir wie immer mit praktischen Timecodes, damit ihr eine bessere Übersicht habt.

AS ALWAYS: The first episode of this season of Players Club is free and available on all podcast platforms. All subsequent episodes will be available exclusively for subscribers at patreon.com/chapotraphouse. The year is 2009. Baquack Odoula is giving birth to Obunglercare and telling Americans that if they like their doctors, they can keep their ashes in urns above their fireplaces after they are rounded up and incinerated (Google “doctor's plot”). Jay Cutler is filling Chicago Bears fans with hopes of a better tomorrow. Taylor Lautner is at the height of his powers. It may not be morning in America, but we all woke up at 2 PM, so same difference. Across the world, a coder employed by From Software eager to prove his mettle is told by his employers that they just so happen to have a game that is so poorly made, behind schedule, and over budget that if he really wants to, the former Oracle employee can take over its development and try to make something playable. Now free from the clutches of the Ellisons and their blood sacrifices, the man and his team work day and night to turn a quagmire that was previously called something like The Terrific Reclaim of Dark! [1+3=0 Edirion] YOU ARE INFINITE into something playable. That 30 something boy that nobody liked grew up to be Hideteka Miyazaki. And the game? Our inaugural entry for Season 2 of Player's Club, Demon's Souls. Frequent collaborator and long-suffering podcast dungeon master Patches was kind enough to join me on this first step through From's contemporary catalog. This game may be the least of From's efforts from the catalog of games it kicked off, but it's not for a lack of ability or vision. Even just making something functional out of such a mess would have been an achievement by Miyazaki and co, but they did more than that. Demon's Souls may lack some of the more brilliant level design and deceptively deep combat of later entries, but it cannot be overstated how little they had to work with and just how deeply this entry deviated from the standard fare put out by Japanese publishers the size of Bandai Namco in 2009. While everyone else was making once-challenging and open-ended titles more linear and centering every level around scripted set pieces, Demon's Souls broke the mold by harkening back to a time before endless handholding, and delivered a game that respected its players enough to allow them to tackle individual levels and bosses how and when they saw fit. For this entry, I did my playthrough on a PS3 emulator, meaning I went without the quality of life adjustments in the 2020 Blue Point remake. That said, I found myself enjoying my experience more than my first go around on the PS5 version years prior. To say this is the least challenging or exciting of the remaining 6 (or 7, if you count Shadow of the Erdtree as a separate entry) games on our docket is not a knock on this game, but a compliment to the massive leaps in quality From achieved in each consecutive release. The fact that such a catalog grew out of a game that was almost abandoned before Miyazaki became the stepfather that stepped up.  Praise aside, I don't care for Stockpile Thomas. He always has to be such a downer. I didn't ask for your life story!  The wonderful Patches can be found on Twitter (@Senator_Gun) and as the dungeon master of my personal all time favorite DnD episodes we've ever done. He does not necessarily share my opinion that Stockpile Thomas is responsible for his family's awful deaths.

Between 2018 and 2024, the turnover of Portuguese games companies went from around 5 million to nearly 100 million. In this episode, Kalie Moore sits down with Jefferson Valadares, Co-Founder and CEO of partNerd and President of the Portuguese Association of Game Development Companies, to unpack whether a country long known for exporting its best talent can become a home for original IP. Jefferson has seen the industry from nearly every seat, as Studio GM at EA, Executive Producer at BioWare, Head of Mobile at Bandai Namco, and a board member at Rovio before its sale to Sega. They explore what the AAA years taught him about when to spend and when to wing it, why big companies keep funding games they already know won't work, and what he learned running studio acquisitions at Fortis Games about why most deals quietly lose their value.The conversation also goes inside partNerd, the four-person studio he's building now, and why they're making an original co-op game exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2. Jefferson explains the thinking behind designing for asymmetric skill levels so parents, kids, and non-gamers can play together, why GameShare shaped their commercial model, and how hard it is for veteran developers to unlearn best practice and build something genuinely new. He also revisits Doppio, his early bet on voice as a gaming platform, and the timing that led to selling to Fortis in late 2021. Along the way he lays out the Helsinki parallel he sees playing out in Lisbon, why the hardest gap for emerging ecosystems is product rather than engineering or art, and what he thinks the industry is underestimating about the generation that grew up on Roblox and Minecraft rather than GTA.This episode is brought to you by Appcharge, the payments platform built specifically for mobile gaming that processes over a billion dollars annually.

News 9:16: Let’s just say Satoru Kuwabara is in some deep, deep trouble after reports of alleged affairs for at least the past 2 years, leading to him resigning as music producer for Ensemble Stars! and further announcements for any other projects and his band coming in the near future. 11:42: Doraemon will make another attempt to break through internationally! TV Asahi is working with distributor CAKE to release the iconic Japanese franchise; there will be no more Harlequin Original magazine, as that ended publication with this year’s July issue. 15:42: Shotan’s You are Ms. Servant resumed serialization on June 21 following its hiatus from February; Kazue Kato’s Blue Exorcist will return in July following its hiatus to properly prepare for the final chapter; Hunter x Hunter will be back in WSJ, as Yoshihiro Togashi’s able to get some chapters ready for the magazine; Sakaomi Yuzaki’s She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat after two years on hiatus; and Ayumi Ishii’s Nobunaga Concerto will resume with the first new chapter in three years (and also end in three chapters), starting July 10. 19:20: It will be some time before Norishiro-chan and Yukiji Setsuda's The Stunned Hero and the Assassin Princesses will return as Setsuda needs a break; It will be at least until August before Takeru Hokazono can resume Kagarabachi, as following numerous ailments this year and after a discussion, the manga will be on the shelf while he recovers. 21:52: It was announced last week that manga creator Keiko Okamoto passed away May 6 due to a cerebral hemorrhage; chief director of the long-running Sazae-san franchise, Hiromitsu Morita, passed away June 4; and TMZ reported on Wednesday that actress Daveigh Chase, well known for being the voice of Lilo in Lilo and Stitch but for anime the voice of Chihiro in Spirited Away, died at 35 due to meningitis and a blood infection, which caused septic issues. Licenses 27:12: Something funny happened on June 12 that basically saw VIZ and Yen Press have social media announcements at the same time (Helen looks at VIZ however for not sending posts on Bluesky).

This week we talk about Capcom's latest IP Pragmata, as well as a load of news on upcoming Dragon Ball Game announcements from Bandai Namco and more.

This week: Fatal Fury gets Wolfgang Kruiser in City of the Wolves, Punk declares Invincible Vs "one of the worst fighting games ever made" after the open beta, and MenaRD vs. Daigo goes down April 29th—first-to-10, no excuses. Meanwhile, Tekken 8's Season 3 patch got review-bombed so hard Bandai Namco dropped an emergency hotfix, Harada's out, and the community is treating the Discord feedback portal like group therapy.On the brighter side: Jam's back in Guilty Gear Strive 2.0, Akali hit 2XKO, and Avatar Legends launches July 2nd with rollback and crossplay for $29—finally, a licensed fighter that gets it. But the real chaos? Max put a $10K bounty on UMVC3 rollback and the internet told him to add another zero. Oh, and Capcom Cup 13 has no LCQ, four spots already locked for Japan, and we're all pretending this is fine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

THIS WEEK: We FINALLY get an official trailer for the upcoming STREET FIGHTER movie. BANDAI NAMCO announced new DLC for DRAGON BALL FIGHTERZ. The countdown to PS5 price hikes has led to record sales. MASTERS of the UNIVERSE: Dragon Pearl of Destruction delayed. Then, in our FINAL STAGE, I checked out the PS5 LEGO game HORIZON ADVENTURES for the SWITCH 2. All this and more in this edition of A.C.M.G. Presents TALK TIME LIVE EXTRA: SELECT/START.

In the world of PlayStation, this past week was one of mystery. For instance, the director of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy seems to be rather blatantly teasing a new Uncharted game on Instagram. But is he actually? Meanwhile, the promise of PlayStation on PC seems to have gone totally up in smoke, with the quiet removal of related iconography from the PSN. Could it be a sign of things to come? Plus, Sony's aggressive new position on the PlayStation Store continues to bear fruit, as even more games are deleted and unpublished that never belonged there to begin with. Are we finally getting the storefront we deserve? Other news this week includes intrigue surrounding an interview with Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki, changes incoming for PS5's UI, potential teases for remakes or remasters of Persona 1 and 2, the wet fart that was the Tales series' 30th anniversary, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Do you have to play the original Resident Evil trilogy on PSone to be a "real" fan, or do the remakes suffice? Why is Square Enix so hesitant to do anything with Chrono Trigger? With Capcom's Pragmata right around the corner, what are our last-minute thoughts? Is Dustin hiding his PlayStation Trophies because he's a fake gamer?

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠In the latest segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz breaks down Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) transferring its nearly $3 billion stake in Take-Two Interactive to Savvy Games Group. This internal move, confirmed via regulatory filing on February 17, 2026, shifts approximately 11 million shares—previously making PIF Take-Two's second-largest shareholder—without any sale or exit from the company.This consolidation aligns with PIF's broader strategy, including a January 2026 announcement to transfer around $12 billion in gaming-related shares to Savvy, encompassing stakes in Nintendo, Bandai Namco, and expected positions in Koei Tecmo, NCSoft, Nexon, and Square Enix. Savvy Games Group emerges as the Kingdom's central vehicle for global gaming investments.The timing is notable ahead of Grand Theft Auto VI's 2026 release, with Take-Two's portfolio featuring GTA, Red Dead Redemption, NBA 2K, Borderlands, and Zynga's mobile titles driving market focus.Analytic Dreamz also covers PIF's separate $55 billion agreement (with partners) to acquire Electronic Arts, expected to close later in 2026, further deepening Saudi exposure to AAA publishing, U.S. gaming, and international publishers.This restructuring centralizes holdings under Savvy, maintaining strong Saudi capital ties to major franchises and the industry's biggest upcoming launch.

Last year, Sony launched it's service-based third-person shooter Concord, and it bombed worse than virtually any PlayStation-developed title in history. In fact, it was received so poorly that Sony disappeared it off the market in a matter of two weeks, gave everyone their money back, and snuffed the entire project out of existence while closing the studio that made it. Fast-forward more than a year, though, and Concord has kinda-sorta returned. Tech-savvy enthusiasts have revived the game on private servers, but Sony has already caught wind of it all and are working to nip it in the bud. Do we really need Concord to return? Why does Sony care if it does? And why do smart people work so diligently on things they don't own or have control over? Plus: Black Friday will be exceptionally nice for those looking for PlayStation hardware, accessories, and games, Sony dominates The Game Awards nominations with 19, Bungie prods its playerbase for ideas on how to improve Destiny 2, EA's F1 series is taking a year hiatus, possibly indicating the future of EA Sports, Peacock renews Twisted Metal for a third season, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Do we keep the physical boxes for our gaming hardware? Would Sony ever revive The Legend of Dragoon? How does one navigate gaming's ragebait culture?
