Introduzione e problemi tecniciApertura della puntata de Il Cortocircuito con i consueti problemi tecnici audio/video e siparietti tra i conduttori (Pierpaolo, Francesco e Alessio), presentazione della scaletta della giornata e degli ospiti.Ospite POW3R: L'esperienza da sviluppatore e il mercato videoludicoIntervista a Giorgio Calandrelli (POW3R) incentrata sulla sua collaborazione allo sviluppo del videogioco italiano The Alighieri Circle: Dante's Bloodlines.

Confronto acceso tra i conduttori sulla normativa italiana in materia di diritto d'autore, eccezioni, fair use, diritto di cronaca/critica e funzionamento del Content ID sulle piattaforme online.

In the wee hours of the night, an absolute stunner landed. Prolific and beloved game director, Hideo Kojima, has killed off his partnership with PlayStation for his upcoming action-espionage title, PHYSINT, and signed on with Xbox. According to the man himself, PlayStation was ready to cancel his game this June! After three months of searching, he found his partner in XBOX. It's a partnership where Kojima claims that they "share a common vision for the future" which says more than just about anything else within this next. Those who recall the PHYSINT announcement in 2024 will also remember that this was TV/movie deal as well. According to the XBOX Wire, they've got that too! So, what gives? Is this just a money play? Has Sony lost touch with optical wins when it was only last generation that they reaped the massive benefits of saving Kojima from Konami? What is XBOX's end goal in all of this? There is much to discuss! Beyond that, we talk about the Cloud Gaming snafu, the diabolical Steam achievement leak, and so much more!Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.0:00:00 - Intro (Gamescom and Pax West Debriefing)00:34:17 - Health Is Wealth00:46:26 - Will Metaphor: ReFantazio get a definitive edition?00:49:43 - Cog's thoughts on GTA 6 gameplay00:55:41 - Nintendo Direct recap01:04:04 - Ocarina Of Time Remake impressions01:30:30 - Developers opt out of Xbox's disc to digital program?01:37:55 - Every NPC in Fable is handcrafted01:41:42 - Hideki Kamiya once again requests to make Scalebound01:48:31 - Rumors suggest Forza Horizon 6 isn't coming to PS5 in 202601:50:43 - Blood Of Dawnwalker sequel in the works01:55:54 - More Final Fantasy 7 beyond the remakes01:59:20 - Capcom is focusing on reactivating IP02:02:31 - Witcher 1 Remake is on hold02:05:45 - PlayStation is looking to bring back Killzone02:12:05 - Venom game is still in development02:13:38 - Game Releases for September 202602:21:55 - What We're Playing03:04:45 - Hideo Kojima jumps ship to Xbox03:54:14 - The catastrophic Steam achievement leak03:18:37 - Xbox's Cloud Gaming Snafu Learn more about your ad choices.

The latter half of the gaming year begins in earnest with Tokyo Game Show on the horizon. We've already been treated to showcases from two of the big three console makers, as both Sony and Nintendo have broadcast a State of Play and two Directs, one in celebration of the Legend of Zelda's 40th anniversary and a regular Nintendo Direct. Sean and Marc discuss the major highlights from each, what they are most looking forward to, and whether Nintendo is losing anything by releasing the Ocarina of Time Remake in November. Sean's also played the entire Final Fantasy Resonance Chapter 1 Demo that released on September 3, and he has thoughts on how it delivers on everything we've been missing from turn-based FF's and sets up an intriguing tale as well. Plus, more details on Grand Theft Auto VI, Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Blood of the Dawnwalker sell well, XBOX put a pin in Cloud Gaming by introducing time limits, a HUGE Steam Achievements leak puts out spoilers for a large swath of unreleased games, Forza Horizon 6 may not release in 2026 on PS5, Capcom will be doing more with old IP, Shawn Layden believes Sony could offload the disc producing process to third parties, could we be getting a Killzone 1 remake, and more on this edition of Video Games 2 the MAX.

Qualcomm e Amazon fecham acordo por “chips de IA” para data centers. A Xbox vai começar a limitar o tempo de jogo na nuvem para 15 horas mensais. Aparelhos de TV pirata desviam conexões domésticas para crimes na internet. Ministério Público volta a cobrar medidas de proteção a menores no Discord. Rede chinesa invade sites '.gov.br' em fraude de apostas online. PlayStation apresenta nova política de assédio ao cliente após fim da mídia física! Da estratosfera: iPhone 17 Pro resiste a queda de 30 km de altitude e bate recorde e mais!

¡Martes de Podcast! En esta ocasión para las notas semanales hablamos de la limitación de horas en el Cloud Gaming de Xbox, las presentaciones de State of Play y Konami Press Star además de la demanda a Sony por monopolio. Adicional para el tema de la semana compartimos nuestros pensamientos sobre la nueva serie de La Novena Jedi.¡Que lo disfruten!

Microsoft Xbox bewarb den Game Pass gerne mit der Möglichkeit, über Cloud Streaming alle möglichen auch älteren Spiele überall spielen zu können. Es gab damals sogar recht schnell eine Anleitung für das Steam Deck. Selbstverständlich auch auf Android-Geräte oder Smart TVs. Aber jetzt werden monatliche Zeitbegrenzungen eingeführt, denn Cloud Computing ist teuer. Das wäre an sich auch vertretbar, wenn die Limits nicht sehr eng gesetzt wären: Bei Game Pass Ultimate (20,99€/Monat) gibt es 15 Stunden monatlich, Game Pass Premium (12,99€) hat 10 Stunden und Game Pass Essential (8,99€) nur 5 Stunden. Zusätzliche Stundenpakete solle man jedoch erwerben können, Preise werde man zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt bekannt geben. Diese Änderungen sollen zumindest in Deutschland vorerst nur für Neukunden gelten. Von Xiaomi, bekannt als chinesischer Smartphone-Hersteller, gibt es auch etwas Neues von der IFA in Berlin: Das SU7 soll in Europa auf den Markt kommen. Das Gerät selbst ist in China schon seit 2024 auf dem Markt und man habe dort schon über 700.000 Stück abgesetzt. Gerät? Moment. Es ist kein Smartphone, sondern eine E-Limousine der Oberklasse und gerade in der Version als SU7 Ultra mit beeindruckenden Specs. Beeindruckend ist auch, wie hartnäckig manche an Wasserstoff als Antrieb für LKW festhalten. Eine Allianz aus Daimler Truck, Volvo, Toyota Motor, Bosch, Air Liquide, TotalEnergies, Teal Mobility und MB Energy möchte ein Tankstellennetz in Europa aufbauen und damit Wasserstoff auch preislich in Konkurrenz zu E-LKWs setzen.

Week of: 8-31-2026 Xbox Gaming News, Releases, and A Fun Fact

On this week's My Xbox And Me, we break down Microsoft's newly announced changes to Xbox Cloud Gaming and discuss what they could mean for the future of Xbox.Fixer also shares an Xbox FanFest update and the team reveals what's been in their box, including The Blood of Dawnwalker, Join Us, Vaewolf, Stranger Than Heaven and Alien Deathstorm.We also discuss Double Fine's future, the release date for Final Fantasy VII Revelation and Rockstar's first official GTA V roleplay server.Let us know in the comments: Is 15 hours of Xbox Cloud Gaming enough for you?Subscribe for weekly Xbox news, reviews, discussions and plenty of arguments!CHAPTERS:00:00 Intro02:08 Microsoft Announces Big Changes to Xbox Cloud Gaming17:09 Fixer's FanFest Update20:12 What's Been in Our Box?44:02 “No One Puts Double Fine Out of Business Except for Me”54:57 Final Fantasy VII Revelation Release Date01:05:37 Official Rockstar GTA V RP Server

Xbox Cloud Gaming is getting worse at the exact moment Microsoft wants xCloud on more devices. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers are being capped at just 15 hours of cloud gaming per month, with even tighter limits for Premium and Essential — and we have some serious questions about what that says about Microsoft's cloud strategy. Then there's PlayStation. Sony's latest State of Play was a rough watch, even if a surprising number of the games shown are also headed to Xbox. We break down what went wrong, what actually looked good, and why Sony's showcase strategy continues to feel strange. Nintendo, meanwhile, is doing the opposite: two Nintendo Directs are coming, including a Zelda 40th Anniversary presentation, and expectations are already climbing. We also get into Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which is earning excellent reviews and has quickly become one of our favorite releases of the year; Halloween: The Game, IllFonic's latest attempt to break through in the asymmetrical horror genre; and The Blood of Dawnwalker, which is already celebrating strong reviews and major sales. Plus: Tim Schafer and Double Fine's bizarre post-Xbox independence video sends Luke over the edge, GTA VI is already moving PS5 and Xbox hardware, Xbox's disc-to-digital program gets even more interesting for handheld players, and we indulge in some TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan remaster speculation. Xbox Cloud Gaming limits. Sony State of Play. Nintendo Direct. GTA VI. Onimusha. Halloween. Double Fine. There is a lot to fight about this week. Clear takes. No console-war noise.

PlayStation held its annual September State of Play along with a Japan focused State of Play right after... and well, to say we were underwhelmed is an understatement. Let's go through every announcement - the good and the bad. We also have news that Xbox is making major changes to its cloud gaming ecosystem. Plus, we have reviews of newly released Crimson Moon and Wheelmates!Time Stamps:0:00 Intro and Whatcha Playing16:00 Crimson Moon Review32:00 WheelMates Impressions 36:00 State of Play Recap1:40:00 Xbox Cloud Gaming LimitsSupport Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SaveTheGameMediaFollow Us:STGM: https://bsky.app/profile/savethegamemedia.bsky.socialKevin: https://bsky.app/profile/themuff1nmon.bsky.socialSam: https://bsky.app/profile/samheaney.bsky.socialJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/89rMmfzmqwAll music created by the amazing Purple Monkey: https://linktr.ee/pme.jibAffiliate Links:Crimson Moon: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4317690/Crimson_Moon/WheelMates: https://lurk.ly/6fMdvH#Xbox #PS5 #StateofPlay #FF7 #Wolverine #CloudGaming #Konami #CrimsonMoon #Wheelmates #Indie

Sorg and Dave Podnar are back for another AwesomeCast packed with Pittsburgh tech, gaming, streaming, photography, AI, retro media, and a surprisingly practical app for finding a bathroom when you really need one. The episode starts locally with Dave highlighting Stormfreak, a Pittsburgh-area weather enthusiast who has built a following on Reddit by offering practical, level-headed forecasts without the sensationalism that often accompanies severe weather coverage. That leads into a bigger conversation about how Reddit, YouTube, and independent creators increasingly fill information gaps once occupied by traditional specialty television. Sorg then takes a trip back to the video-store era with Binge Buster, a web experience that lets users browse movies available on their existing streaming subscriptions in an interface inspired by wandering through the shelves of a physical rental store. Gaming takes over a large part of the conversation, including EA going private in a massive Saudi-backed deal, Netflix getting an extended GTA 6 preview, Atari showing signs of financial improvement, the possibility of accessing Xbox and PC Game Pass titles on Linux and Mac through the XODUS project, new content for the original Quake, and Sorg's experience comparing Xbox cloud gaming with NVIDIA GeForce NOW. Then things get weird in the best possible way: Diablo is heading to amusement-park Halloween events, while a permanent Freddy Fazbear's Pizza experience complete with animatronics is planned for American Dream. Dave also shares his latest experience with Adobe Project Indigo, including computational photography, AI photo critiques, and the increasingly blurry line between traditional editing and generative AI. The episode wraps with two ideas that bring physical experiences back into a digital world: Pittsburgh's Lost Lizard renting VHS, DVD, and even Betamax tapes, and Nature Calls Run, an upcoming crowdsourced app designed to help runners, cyclists, travelers, and people with medical needs locate bathrooms, water, and other resources. Stories, Gadgets & Topics Discussed 300–600mm iPhone zoom lens — Dave points listeners toward iPhonography Podcast co-host Greg McMillan's detailed look at an enormous telephoto solution for iPhone photography. Stormfreak and Pittsburgh weather on Reddit — Dave highlights the local forecaster's calm, practical approach to Pittsburgh weather and the community that has formed around his posts. They discuss how independent online weather coverage can sometimes be more useful than national television coverage when people need highly local information. The changing role of specialty media — Sorg and Dave compare today's creator-driven information sources with the original promise of channels like The Weather Channel, Discovery, TLC, and Food Network. Binge Buster — Sorg tries a streaming discovery site that recreates some of the experience of browsing a video store. Users select the streaming services they already subscribe to and browse movies through virtual box art, descriptions, genres, trailers, staff picks, and more. https://bingebuster.net/ Awesome Person of the Week: Lewis Latimer — Dave profiles the inventor, draftsman, engineer, and patent expert whose work intersected with both Alexander Graham Bell's telephone patent and the development of more durable electric-light filaments. Slice on Broadway pizza sauce — Dave discovers jars of Slice on Broadway's original pizza sauce while shopping at Labriola's Italian Market. EA goes private — Chachi's Video Game Minute covers EA completing its reported $55 billion sale to a Saudi-backed buyer and what private ownership might mean for the future of EA's games and monetization. Netflix and GTA 6 — Netflix is set to feature an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI on August 27, prompting discussion about whether GTA really needs any additional publicity. Atari's financial comeback — Atari reports its strongest annual revenue in roughly a decade, giving Sorg and Dave an opportunity to talk about the strange history of the Atari name, its changing ownership, and the collection of gaming properties associated with it over the years. Xbox games potentially coming to Linux and Mac through XODUS — Sorg discusses an open-source reverse-engineering project designed to make compatible Xbox and PC titles accessible beyond Windows, including the possibility of accessing portions of a user's existing Microsoft gaming library. Xbox backward compatibility — The conversation touches on original Xbox and Xbox 360 games potentially becoming increasingly accessible through Microsoft's PC ecosystem. New Quake content decades later — Quake continues receiving new content around its 30th anniversary, giving players another reason to revisit the classic first-person shooter. NVIDIA GeForce NOW vs. Xbox cloud gaming — Sorg compares his experience streaming games like Doom: The Dark Ages and Forza Horizon, finding GeForce NOW's higher-end hardware particularly impressive for demanding, fast-moving games. Do you still need a gaming PC? — Cloud gaming raises a bigger question: if a service already supports hundreds of games in your library and provides continuously upgraded hardware, does spending thousands on a dedicated gaming PC still make sense? Diablo invades Cedar Point and Six Flags — Blizzard's Diablo becomes part of the Halloween amusement-park experience, leading to a conversation about licensed haunted attractions and the changing amusement-park industry. Cedar Fair/Six Flags consolidation and disappearing amusement parks — Dave looks back at the history of older amusement parks, including Pittsburgh-area memories of White Swan Park and the larger trend of parks disappearing as land was redeveloped. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza becomes real — A permanent Freddy Fazbear's Pizza experience featuring animatronic stage shows is planned for American Dream in 2027. Naturally, Sorg and Dave wonder whether anybody involved has actually learned the lesson of Five Nights at Freddy's. American Dream as the modern destination mall — The conversation expands into how malls are evolving from shopping centers into entertainment destinations with theme parks, water parks, skiing, restaurants, attractions, wrestling events, and other experiences. Adobe Project Indigo — Dave continues experimenting with Adobe's computational photography app, particularly challenging lighting situations and shooting directly toward a sunset. AI-powered photography reviews — Project Indigo can analyze a photo and provide feedback, giving photographers another way to evaluate composition and possible improvements. When an AI edit becomes a different photograph — Dave demonstrates an AI edit that substantially changes clouds and the sky, prompting an important conversation about the difference between enhancing a photograph and generating new visual information. AI quietly becoming another editing tool — Sorg shares his experience using AI to quickly create client graphics and discusses how generative tools increasingly feel less like a separate novelty and more like another part of a production workflow. Lost Lizard brings video rentals back to Pittsburgh — A Lawrenceville business is renting VHS tapes, DVDs, Betamax tapes, and even retro video games. The concept triggers plenty of nostalgia for independent video stores and their wonderfully strange horror collections. Physical media versus digital ownership — Reports of purchased digital movies disappearing from user libraries lead to a larger discussion about what consumers actually own when they "buy" a digital movie. Movies Anywhere and fragmented digital libraries — Sorg discusses the usefulness of synchronizing eligible purchases across services while acknowledging that licensing can still make digital ownership complicated. Maybe it's time to buy DVDs again — The uncertainty of digital licenses gives physical media another unexpected advantage: nobody can remotely remove a disc from your shelf. Nature Calls Run — An upcoming Pittsburgh-created app will crowdsource public restrooms, water sources, and other useful resources for runners, cyclists, travelers, parents, and anyone suddenly asking the most important question of the day: "Where can I go?" https://naturecallsapp.com/ Restroom access as an accessibility and medical issue — The app also plans to educate users about restroom-access laws affecting people with conditions including Crohn's disease and IBS. GCXC running events — Dave also discusses upcoming Pittsburgh-area races and the community surrounding GCXC events. https://gcxc.com/events-pa Support AwesomeCast: https://www.patreon.com/awesomecast

Sorg and Dave Podnar are back for another AwesomeCast packed with Pittsburgh tech, gaming, streaming, photography, AI, retro media, and a surprisingly practical app for finding a bathroom when you really need one. The episode starts locally with Dave highlighting Stormfreak, a Pittsburgh-area weather enthusiast who has built a following on Reddit by offering practical, level-headed forecasts without the sensationalism that often accompanies severe weather coverage. That leads into a bigger conversation about how Reddit, YouTube, and independent creators increasingly fill information gaps once occupied by traditional specialty television. Sorg then takes a trip back to the video-store era with Binge Buster, a web experience that lets users browse movies available on their existing streaming subscriptions in an interface inspired by wandering through the shelves of a physical rental store. Gaming takes over a large part of the conversation, including EA going private in a massive Saudi-backed deal, Netflix getting an extended GTA 6 preview, Atari showing signs of financial improvement, the possibility of accessing Xbox and PC Game Pass titles on Linux and Mac through the XODUS project, new content for the original Quake, and Sorg's experience comparing Xbox cloud gaming with NVIDIA GeForce NOW. Then things get weird in the best possible way: Diablo is heading to amusement-park Halloween events, while a permanent Freddy Fazbear's Pizza experience complete with animatronics is planned for American Dream. Dave also shares his latest experience with Adobe Project Indigo, including computational photography, AI photo critiques, and the increasingly blurry line between traditional editing and generative AI. The episode wraps with two ideas that bring physical experiences back into a digital world: Pittsburgh's Lost Lizard renting VHS, DVD, and even Betamax tapes, and Nature Calls Run, an upcoming crowdsourced app designed to help runners, cyclists, travelers, and people with medical needs locate bathrooms, water, and other resources. Stories, Gadgets & Topics Discussed 300–600mm iPhone zoom lens — Dave points listeners toward iPhonography Podcast co-host Greg McMillan's detailed look at an enormous telephoto solution for iPhone photography. Stormfreak and Pittsburgh weather on Reddit — Dave highlights the local forecaster's calm, practical approach to Pittsburgh weather and the community that has formed around his posts. They discuss how independent online weather coverage can sometimes be more useful than national television coverage when people need highly local information. The changing role of specialty media — Sorg and Dave compare today's creator-driven information sources with the original promise of channels like The Weather Channel, Discovery, TLC, and Food Network. Binge Buster — Sorg tries a streaming discovery site that recreates some of the experience of browsing a video store. Users select the streaming services they already subscribe to and browse movies through virtual box art, descriptions, genres, trailers, staff picks, and more. https://bingebuster.net/ Awesome Person of the Week: Lewis Latimer — Dave profiles the inventor, draftsman, engineer, and patent expert whose work intersected with both Alexander Graham Bell's telephone patent and the development of more durable electric-light filaments. Slice on Broadway pizza sauce — Dave discovers jars of Slice on Broadway's original pizza sauce while shopping at Labriola's Italian Market. EA goes private — Chachi's Video Game Minute covers EA completing its reported $55 billion sale to a Saudi-backed buyer and what private ownership might mean for the future of EA's games and monetization. Netflix and GTA 6 — Netflix is set to feature an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI on August 27, prompting discussion about whether GTA really needs any additional publicity. Atari's financial comeback — Atari reports its strongest annual revenue in roughly a decade, giving Sorg and Dave an opportunity to talk about the strange history of the Atari name, its changing ownership, and the collection of gaming properties associated with it over the years. Xbox games potentially coming to Linux and Mac through XODUS — Sorg discusses an open-source reverse-engineering project designed to make compatible Xbox and PC titles accessible beyond Windows, including the possibility of accessing portions of a user's existing Microsoft gaming library.

Ep. 206 - Kimberly sits down with multi-time tech entrepreneur André Swanston on the historic launch day of his groundbreaking cloud gaming platform, PHYND. Fresh off a massive nine-figure exit from his previous venture, True Optik, André is on a mission to completely democratize how we play video games on the big screen. In partnership with Samsung, PHYND is removing the heavy financial barrier of gaming by eliminating the need for expensive consoles and dedicated controllers—making high-quality gaming completely free and accessible right through your smart TV. André pulls back the curtain on the realities of entrepreneurship, including the gritty truths of raising capital as a minority founder, how being "pissed off" can be a powerful tool for motivation, and why failure is only finite if you refuse to quit. We also dive into his venture into professional sports as the founder of Connecticut United FC, and how he models a relentless work ethic for his children.
