Welcome to the long-awaited return of The NPCs, where we're back to discuss video game news, video game insights, provide commentary, and oh so much more.In our absence, a lot of things have happened in the video game universe: Roguelike's have taken over the Steam charts, Elden Ring got a multiplayer game, Fortnite still exists, and we still don't have Grand Theft Auto 6…But one thing has been on our minds for at least half of the year: have we finally reached the end of the console wars? Microsoft has doubled down on a marketing campaign where “Everything is an Xbox,” making it so phones, TVs, even your smart fridge can play Xbox games without needing an Xbox at all. In tandem, we also saw bridges built with core first-party titles like Forza, Gears of War, and even Halo showing up on the PlayStation 5. With the possibility of Nintendo also receiving similar treatment, has Microsoft finally bowed out of the console race? Do we even need consoles anymore given more of a transition to PC-based architecture? Let's talk about it in our great return episode: The Console Wars Concludes…Intro: Run by J+1Post-Break Intro: Getaway by J+1Outro: Haunt by J+1

No generation walls, no exclusivity gatekeeping… just play anywhere.

We presenteren jou een nieuwe episode van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over het laatste nieuws uit de wereld van de videogames. Zoals altijd vergezeld van een duidelijke mening. We zijn immers Gamekings. Koos is op deze herfstige maandag bij JJ aangeschoven om een aantal topics te bespreken. Bijvoorbeeld de aankondiging van de remake van de allereerste Halo game: Combat Evolved. Hoe viel die aankondiging? Halo-fan Koos heeft daar natuurlijk een mening over. Dan is daar Warner Bros dat te koop staat. Mensen wezen al naar Sony. Zou de game-divisie van het bedrijf niet interessant zijn PlayStation? Het antwoord op die vraag kwam dit weekend. Dit en meer onderwerpen krijg je te zien en te horen in de Gamekings Daily van woensdag 27 oktober 2025.De remake van Halo: Combat Evolved zonder een multiplayer???Dat er een nieuwe Halo-game zou worden aangekondigd tijdens de Halo World Championships was een zekerheid. We wisten alleen niet welke game dat zou zijn en of het wel een 'nieuwe' titel zou betreffen. Het antwoord is dus 'geen nieuwe'. Het wordt de remake van Halo: Combat Evolved, die nu, wink wink, Campaign Evolved gedoopt is. Wat kunnen we deze titel verwachten? Wat is er allemaal nieuw en hoe waren de reacties? Ook op het feit dat de Master Chief naar de PS5 zou komen? Dat zou in dat geval meteen een einde maken aan de console wars. JJ en Koos gaan er het gesprek over aan in deze video.Waar gaat de nieuwe roadtrip van Gamekings naartoe?Andere onderwerpen in deze editie van Gamekings Daily zijn de vraag of er morgen (28 oktober) nu wel of niet een Batlle Royale-mode voor Battlefield 6 komt of niet. Wat denken de twee heren en basis waarvan denken ze dat? Plus, we onthullen het ‘best bewaarde geheim' in het Nederlandse gamemedia landschap. Namelijk de bestemming van de komende Gamekings road trip. Het gaat anders worden dan de trip naar Tokyo, maar daarom zeker niet minder. Vanaf 8 november een maand lang keihard op je beeldbuis.

Few events in video game history are more legendary than the Console War between Sega and Nintendo.  Our guest today was one of the generals of that war, the head of Sega of America, Tom Kalinske.   Tom's story is not just a story of Sega though, he started out in advertising, helping create the still iconic Flintstone's vitamins, he redefined Barbie's image, helped save Mattel from bankruptcy after the video game crash and lead one of the most important educational tech companies of our time, Leap Frog. Tom's insight into the world of toys, games and education over a career spanning 6 decades is a wild and fascinating ride.

While there are fun things to talk about, like the Muppets returning, Nintendo directs, the 90s Console wars, and the new Anaconda. There are also not fun things, like Nintendo and Pokémon behind paywalls, HBO and passwords, and The Long Walk. And at the end, a serious discussion about a topic I try to stay away from, but luckily, that's at the end. Enjoy

I'm an experienced gamer. A very experienced gamer. But, I'm not about to give it up because some kid who has just destroyed me on Apex Legends is laughing down the mic and calling me a fossil. No siree! Not that anyone is suggesting I give it up. I don't think. Not sure why I recorded this, thinking about it.But it's here now, so wrap your ears around it and give it a big waxy hug!Brief mentions of the console wars, Daley Thompson, Space Invaders, and other stuff that has been tossed along on the winds of time.

Episode #570: The console wars may finally be coming to an end—and two massive franchises are leading the charge. In this episode, we dive into how Helldivers 2 and Gears of War are absolutely dominating cross-platform sales on Playstation and Xbox, shattering expectations and proving that players care more about great games than brand loyalty. Pair that with PlayStation and Xbox's surprising new social media campaigns—which seem more collaborative than combative—and fans are left wondering if the era of heated console wars is officially over.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.

Handheld gaming looks like the future — so why isn't it more popular? The Verge's Sean Hollister joins the show to talk about some new data about the handheld console market, what it says about the Steam Deck's dominance, whether the Switch 2 might change everything all over again, and why Sony and Microsoft don't appear to be in the game at all. After that, David reports on his trip to Florida to see TGL, the golf league aiming to bring the sport to new places and new fans, with the help of a truly enormous amount of technology. Finally, we answer a question on the Vergecast Hotline about iPads — and more specifically, one particularly good reason to upgrade to the Air or the Pro.
