Xbox just keeps taking hits, and there is no way to spin it. Sony takes one on the chin too, as their Live Service goals aren't playing out the way they hoped. Plus Blizzard loses Rod, Strauss is the ultimate hype man, and Battlefield is back? Plus Paramount sets its sights on its new future, DC Studios has a plan, Captain Jack Sparrow might be back. Plus Reviews of Black Bag, Twisted Metal Season 2 and the first two episodes of Alien Earth.

This week, Phil Bothun joins the show to craft the DEFINITIVE list of the best Immersive Sim games!

This week we dive into the Nintendo showcases, rising prices, and the Pokemon News before worlds in Anaheim this week. Contraband is on pause by Xbox Studios. The next Bioshock is stuck in development mess. Games this week are Mafia: The Old Country and Elliot The Millenium Tales. This week we watched The Pickup and Kaiju Number 8.

If Sony's recent fiscal report shows anything, it's that PlayStation is turning into a bona fide money printer. Yes, PS5 has surpassed 80 million units sold, and that in and of itself is a substantial figure. But the more interesting numbers reside in the financials, where the brand netted more in profit in a single three month period than it did for much of entire previous generations. That's completely insane. So let's discuss PlayStation's meteoric growth, what it means, and how Sony may be doing all of this with one arm tied behind its back. Plus: Media Molecule loses its final founding member, the new BioShock game is in trouble, Lost Soul Aside goes gold, Starfield is rumored to be PS5-bound in 2026, Darksiders 4 gets announced, Silent Hill F brings the franchise into an action-oriented direction, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is PlayStation Plus fundamentally underrated? Could Battlefield 6 outsell Call of Duty: Black Ops 7? Are we on the verge of having to verify our identity on PSN? Will Colin travel to a nearby town to try and find life-sized box art of the old game X-Blades?

The year of the Ninja rages on! Fresh off Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, we have more ninjas to talk about thanks to the new Shinobi demo alongside Ninja Gaiden 4. In a seemingly impossible move, Xbox brought together two legendary Japanese developers to reactivate a franchise that had laid dormant since 2012. There were still question marks even after a strong showing at this years Developer Direct. At the top of everyone's list following a ton of layoffs was simply: Does PlatinumGames still have it? Well, it appears that despite the winds of change blowing through the studio, the new wave of talent at Platinum is more than up to the task.

Jeff Grubb is joined by Rhys Elliot to end the week with news of a surprising new Nintendo patent, Bioshock 4 updates, PlayStation going multiplatform, Battlefield 6 jumping up the Steam charts, and more!

In today's Daily Fix:In light of Sony's lawsuit, megapublisher Tencent has changed some of the assets on the Steam page for Light of Motiram. The game fell into Sony's crosshairs for looking a lot like their Horizon Zero Dawn games, and judging by some of those marketing assets, Sony might have a case. Tencent has changed the description and some of the art featuring a female protagonist that looks an awful lot like Horizon's Aloy, as well as easing up on mentions of giant mechanical beasts. In other news, Bethesda's Starfield may finally be giving fans what they want: the ability to fly between planets. Although not officially announced, the new 'feature' won't be exactly like No Man's Sky's key feature of letting you take off from a planet's surface, fly into space, through the atmosphere of another planet, and onto that surface without an obvious loading screen. Starfield is getting a PS5 port sometime next year, and could see some new feaures added, like the aforementioned 'flying between planets' ability. And finally, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is promsing BioShock 4 will come out, despite recent news that the game had failed an internal review after years of development.

Analizamos en un nuevo podcast todo lo que viene pasando en la industria del gaming. Xbox cancela Contraband, Bioshock 4 necesita más trabajo, jugamos la beta de Battlefield 6, probamos la nueva temporada de Fortnite, hay mucha data sobre PlayStation y mucho más. Todo eso en un nuevo Weekly Quest.

Og et dansk gamingfirma er gået konkurs!EA siger, at det er en spirituel efterfølger til Battlefield 3 og 4. Hør vores tanker om spillet, og om vi er enige i det? Vi snakker også om, at PlayStation får tæsk af både Nintendo og Xbox. Switch 2 slår nemlig alle PlayStations salgsrekorder, og Xbox-spil er de bedst sælgende på PlayStations platforme. Vi taler også om, at BioShock 4 er i så dårlig tilstand, at 2K er rasende. Og så er en kendt dansk spilrelateret virksomhed gået konkurs.I denne episode diskuterer vi blandt andet:- Acezone er gået konkurs- Den åbne beta af Battlefield 6 er lige om hjørnet- Battlefield 6 er en spirituel efterfølger til Battlefield 3 og 4- EA lover: Battlefield 6 matcher dig ikke kun med tryhards- EA vil gerne lave Apex Legends-film eller tv-serie- Switch 2 knuser PlayStations rekord: 6 mio. på 7 uger- Microsoft banker PlayStation på egen konsol- Xbox er i støt stigning trods faldende konsolsalg- Rygte: Starfield kommer til PS5 næste år- CoD-udvikler Raven sikrer fagforeningsaftale med Microsoft- 2K er rasende: BioShock 4 lever ikke op til forventningerne- Kojima nægter at spille det kommende Metal Gear- Cronos: The New Dawn kommer til september - også på Switch 2!- The Medium får filmatisering af It-skaberen- Dino Crisis lever videre hos tvivlsomt studie?- Darksiders 4 annonceret- Ready or Not har solgt over 2 mio. konsol-eksemplarer på 2 uger- Clair Obscur-studiet vil ikke udvide- BeatEmUps faker Nintendo-leakOg meget, meget mere!I denne episode deltager Nicolaj Jyde, Louise Willingsøe, Nikolaj Mosegaard og Morten Urup.Tusind tak, fordi du lytter med.

Gaming hosts Josh, Ryan, and Ace are back with a stacked week of gaming news! We're diving headfirst into the explosive reveal of Battlefield 6 — is EA finally giving fans what we want!? Plus, we explore the mysterious world of BioShock 4 and its development failures. Can it repeat as one of the best video games in history? And that's not all — we're sharing our first impressions of Grounded 2. Does this sequel build on the charm of the original, or is it just another backyard brawler? If you're into video games that blend survival, co-op gaming, and just the right amount of weird, you'll want to hear our take.

The beginning of a new month brings with it a sense of excitement about what lies ahead, while also putting the previous month's issues in the rear view. However, for Nintendo, there's one thing that seemingly will not go away, and that's the controversy regarding Game Key Cards. Physical game collectors like Marc are not happy about the half-measure that allows third-party publishers to save money, while somewhat providing a physical version of the game. Sean wonders if it really is as big a deal as everyone's making it out to be. Also, the duo also discusses the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, which seemingly lit a fire under the issue, as well as bringing another one about the lack of Switch 2 devkits too. Sean also played two demos from that direct the Adventures of Elliot and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, along with Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, while Marc finally got to check out Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.Plus, more Xbox games are coming to PlayStation amid good news regarding Xbox Game Pass and improvements for Xbox's content and services department. Nintendo keeps selling Switch 2's, but why are the prices of Switch 1 SKUs going up? Warner Bros is doing ANOTHER live service game, Battlefield 6 is getting an open beta, and BioShock 4 is in development hell, too.

In questo Ep di L'Arcade di Ale vi parlo di un po' di: titoli annunciati da THQ, un po' di Battlefield 6, le parole di Hideo Kojima sullo stato attuale dei AAA, PlayStation che potrebbe sviluppare per terze parti, Starfield su PS5 e l'ultimo DLC, FC 26 e la carriera allenatore, BioShock 4 nei guai, Cronos provato dalla stampa sembra old school e punitivo, i Dungeon di Hell is Us mi ricordano Ocarina of Time, il recappone del Nintendo Direct.Buon ascolto!

The entertainment world never stops evolving, and this episode of GeekVisits Entertainment captures the pulse of recent developments across film, video games, and television that are reshaping our favorite media landscapes.Marvel's Fantastic Four dominated headlines with its surprising box office performance—maintaining the top spot with $40 million in its second weekend but experiencing a concerning 66% drop from its opening. This steep decline outpaces Superman's recent 53% drop, raising questions about audience fatigue despite positive reviews. Meanwhile, the James Bond franchise gains serious creative firepower with Denis Villeneuve (Dune, Blade Runner 2049) signing on to direct and Peaky Blinders creator Stephen Knight penning the screenplay for Amazon's first 007 outing since acquiring MGM.On the Spider-Man front, exciting casting updates for "Brand New Day" continue to emerge, with Mark Ruffalo potentially returning as Hulk alongside John Bernthal's Punisher. The film appears to be assembling a street-level focus that returns Peter Parker to his neighborhood roots after the multiverse adventures of "No Way Home." Horror fans received welcome news with John Krasinski announcing A Quiet Place Part Three for summer 2027, continuing the profitable franchise that recently expanded with the well-received prequel "Day One."The gaming landscape saw significant developments with Battlefield 6 finally getting its full reveal, showcasing a return to traditional class systems, 64-player lobbies, and the inclusion of a single-player campaign—all clear responses to player feedback following Battlefield 2042's troubled launch. Less fortunate was Monster Hunter Wilds, which experienced a catastrophic 95% sales decline since its launch quarter amid player complaints about performance issues and thin endgame content. Meanwhile, Bioshock 4's development hit a major roadblock as the game reportedly failed an internal review at 2K Games, particularly regarding narrative elements.Have these stories caught your attention?

Eine neue Folge gibt es noch, bevor unsere Sommerpause beginnt. In der 195. Ausgabe des SpielBar Podcasts war Marco wieder einmal zu Gast bei den Freunden fürs Extraleben. In gewohnter Manier wird dort gepflegt über die zuletzt gespielten Videospiele schwadroniert und natürlich sprechen wir auch über den heißen Scheiß im Newsbereich. Auf dem "Zuletzt gespielt?!"-Teller lag ganz ofenfrisch Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound und die Demo zu SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance. Dazu eine Prise Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, ein alter Schnack im Remaster-Gewand mit System Shock 2 und das ausgesprochen famose Back to the Dawn. Kurze Updates zu Doom: The Dark Ages, Split Fiction und einem Fehlkauf namens Deliver At All Costs. Abgerundet wurde der sonst sehr formidable Schmaus mit einem wohl längst vergangenen Klassiker: The Lord of the Rings Online. Guten Appetit! In den News widmen wir uns ausführlich dem kürzlichen Nintendo Partner Direct und nahezu ähnlich gehaltvoll auch dem Showcase von THQ Nordic. Battlefield 6 wurde außerdem offiziell vorgestellt - was sagen wir dazu? Auf offizielle Details zu Bioshock hingegen warten wir vergebens ... aber das was Jason Schreier uns aufdeckte sieht alles andere als verzehrbar aus. Reality Labs, ehemals Oculus VR verbrennt weiterhin Milliarde um Milliarde. Wir fragen wozu der ganze Bums überhaupt noch existiert und Nintendo wird die neue Nintendo Switch 2 förmlich aus der Hand gerissen. Wir wünschen viel Spaß mit dieser neuen Episode und bleibt den Pixeln treu! Abonniert und bewertet uns gerne - das hilft dem kleinen Projekt hier und noch einmal die Info: wir sind erstmal in der Sommerpause. Bis dahin und bis ganz bald!

In today's Daily Fix:BioShock 4 has been a long time coming, and it might be even longer. The game has reportedly failed an internal review at publisher 2K, prompting a leadership shake-up at developer Cloud Chamber Games. A rumored remake of the original BioShock has also reportedly been canceled. Over at Larian Studios, the developer is celebrating the second anniversary of Baldur's Gate 3, and is teasing their next project, which is not DnD related. And finally, Nintendo is re-committing to the 2025 release window for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. The game will be playable at this year's Fan Expo in Canada.

Er staat een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily voor je op het beeldscherm. In de dagelijkse podcast & video praten twee presentatoren over het laatste nieuws uit de wereld van videogames en geven daar hun ongezouten mening over. Dat alles in ongeveer 20 minuten tijd. Vandaag is Daan aangeschoven bij JJ. Samen praten ze over onder andere het nieuws dat Bioshock 4 zich in development hell bevindt, The Sims 5 er volgens EA niet gaat komen en de verrassende aankondiging van Darksiders 4. Deze onderwerpen en meer kun je gaan bekijken en beluisteren in de GK Daily van maandag 4 augustus 2025.Bioshock 4 bevindt zich in een development hellGK Daily is er op alle werkdagen, op de vrijdag na natuurlijk. Dan presenteren we altijd EvdWL, de uitgebreide podcast over al het nieuws van de afgelopen week. In deze editie praten Daan en JJ over een aantal leuke en minder leuke nieuwtjes. Zo is het nog steeds de vraag wanneer Starfield naar de PS5 gaat komen. Een nieuw gerucht zegt lente 2026, bij de komst van de tweede DLC. We kijken ook naar de verrassende aankondiging van Darksiders 4. Waarom doen ze dat nu en niet tijdens Gamescom en gaat de game vasthouden aan de insteek die ze bij de vorige drie delen had? De antwoorden volgen zoals altijd in deze video.EA wil geen opvolger van The Sims 5 gaan makenDe Bioshock-franchise is er een die ons dierbaar is. We zouden daarom graag deel 4 zien verschijnen. Dat deel bevindt zich echter, als we de verhalen mogen geloven, in een fikse development hell. Wat is er aan de hand en denken wij dat de vierde editie van Bioshock er nog gaat komen? En waarom wil EA geen The Sims 5 maken? The Sims 4 is toch best wel verouderd? Of hebben ze een masterplan om dat vierde deel nieuw leven in te blazen en klaar te stomen voor de toekomst?

We're joined by Washington Post's game journalist Gene Park this week to chat about the state of games journalism in 2025 and how Mind's Eye is the experience of the year. We also go over the surprise THQ showcase that revealed Darksiders 4 and shadowdropped the early access of Titan Quest 2. Then we get into our time with Grounded 2, Abiotic Factor 1.0, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and...

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we revisit our series on Gone Home and walking simulators with an interview with Karla Zimonja. We talk about Karla's early career before transitioning to talking about Minerva's Den and get a lot of great gems from the development of Gone Home.

A mind full of No Man's Sky. This week, we finally delve into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, one of the year's best games and one that's sure to be up for tons of awards. The modern realization of a turn-based RPG takes us into a world of devastation and complexity, where parrying mechanics, character abilities, and a wild skill system are just the start. After that, we go under the sea to revisit 2007's legendary BioShock and its twisted world of Rapture. We've also got some thoughts on Destiny 2's newest expansion, and some news on the Zelda movie's cast. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

In this powerful episode, host Sophie Vo sits down with Susan Cummings — co-founder of 2K Games, Tiny Rebel Games, and now 10Six Games — to explore her 25+ year journey through the gaming industry. From signing legendary IPs like Bioshock and Borderlands to founding and evolving multiple studios, Susan shares unfiltered insights on intuition-driven leadership, building (and rebuilding) companies, and the courage to start again after failure.This is a masterclass in resilience, creativity, and navigating the business side of game development.

There is only you, and the spark of the podcast that is your mind. Welcome back to NOCLIP! Today, we're going to be looking at The Talos Principle 2, a first person puzzle game developed by Croteam. The game builds on, and stays pretty close to, the mechanics of the first game, using connecting lasers with various tools as the primary method of puzzle solving. Despite this, it does a good job of feeling familiar while also adding novelty with each new area. There are many new puzzle solving tools and they make you approach the puzzle rooms in different ways, with some of my personal favorites being the ones that allow the player to move around in different ways, which really changes your relationship with the space. Narratively, the game picks up where the previous left off, just very far in the future. The plot focuses on the society that has built up around the designs of the characters from the first game, but the philosophical focus has shifted from questions of personhood common in the first game to questions of humanity's impact on environments and societal responsibility. This feels like a natural evolution and one that is more reactive to current social issues. We're going to be talking about the pacing of the game and how it's unusual difficulty curve is actually a boon, what makes the puzzles of this series as enjoyable as they are, and how we like colors and shapes, y'know, like newborn babies. Thank you for listening to NOCLIP this week! This was a game we knew we wanted to play but took a while to find its spot. I'm glad we did get around to it, because it ended up being a really good time, but also because it provides a complete tonal contrast to the games surrounding it in the schedule. Were you a fan of the original game and waiting for the sequel? Let us know in the comments or over on our Discord. Next time, we're going to be talking about Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, so we sort of hope you'll join us then.
