Podcasts about Dark Souls

Dark Souls no es solo un videojuego: es una experiencia narrativa única. En este episodio exploramos su mundo oscuro y fragmentado, donde cada rincón esconde historia, cada enemigo tiene propósito y cada muerte enseña. Desde las ruinas de Lordran hasta los secretos de la llama primigenia, analizamos cómo FromSoftware redefine la narrativa a través del silencio, el misterio y el simbolismo. Nos sumergimos en su jugabilidad exigente, su arquitectura imposible y sus ecos filosóficos. Este no es un episodio sobre cómo sobrevivir a Dark Souls, sino sobre por qué vale la pena perderse —y encontrarse— en él. ⚠️ Si este programa te ha gustado: comenta, dale a me gusta, compártelo.

Nunca joguei nenhum jogo, não tenho o menor interesse, sempre que possível eu faço chacota, porque os nossos colegas querem emplacar um Dark Souls ali no grupo, acho que alguma hora vai acabar acontecendo, porque tem bastante gente favorável, e eu não tenho a menor vontade de jogar. Então quando passou o trailer, falei ah, legal, o pessoal tá animado, tem toda uma especulação, se era Bloodborne, que que era, que raiz que era aquilo. Eu não sei nem a diferença de Dark Souls pra Bloodborne, pra sei lá o que, pra mim é tudo igual esses jogos aí. Então só por isso, senão se eu tivesse entendido o que tava acontecendo, talvez eu tivesse feito algum bullying com você sim, porque a gente não pode deixar a peteca cair no Diálogo infinito sobre games via WhatsApp.Com João Varella, Alexandre Sato, Thomas Kehl, Marcos Kiyoto, João R e Marina Andreoli2 analógicos

Een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily staat voor je klaar. Elke doordeweeks dag bespreken we in de vorm van een vodcast het laatste nieuws en de meest spraakmakende geruchten vanuit de gamesindustrie. Dat alles in pak hem beet 20 minuten tijd. Dit keer zit Koos bij JJ aan de desk. De twee hebben het over de mogelijke Donkey Kong-film, de geruchten rond Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet en het verdwijnen van de South Park-serie van de buis in Nederland. Deze onderwerpen en meer zie en hoor je in de GK Daily van maandag 14 juli 2025.Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet: The Last of Us meets Dark SoulsGK Daily verschijnt elke doordeweekse dag. Op de vrijdag na natuurlijk. Want dan presenteren we EvdWL, onze uitgebreide talkshow met een overzicht van alle game gerelateerde nieuwtjes die week. In deze GK Daily praten we je bij over de nieuwe feitjes die naar buiten komen over de nieuwe game van Naughty Dog en Neil Druckmann, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Het moet een soort The Last of Us meets Dark Souls worden. Wat moeten we daaronder verstaan? En kan Naughty Dog zo iets maken? JJ en Koos geven elk hun eigen mening over dit verhaal.Wil niemand de South Park serie meer bekijken?Geen South Park op de TV. Niemand had gedacht dat dit ooit zou gebeuren. En toch lijkt het een feit te gaan worden. De contracten om de serie in de wereld buiten de VS te tonen lopen namelijk af en de makers van de serie hebben beef met de eigenaars van de zenders. Ze willen geen inmenging in wat ze doen en laten. Als gevolg hiervan kun je momenteel op Prime niet meer kijken naar de avonturen van de Eric, Stan en Kyle. En dat moet je toch eigenlijk niet willen…

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Spelunky, part of a larger series on independent games. Tim uses the B word about the game, and we talk about the rigor with which one approaches the game, as well as some best practices for play, among other topics and listener mail.

Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Rogue, Rogue Legacy (series), Dark Souls (series), Mario (series), Andy Nealen, Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, Remnant II, Chess, LostLake86, Legend of Zelda, Cave Story, Sasha/scarytiger, Daisuke Amaya, Wii, Nintendo Switch, Luke Theriault, Derek Yu, Aquaria, Alec Holowka, Bit Blot, World of Goo, Gish, Edmund McMillen, Lugaru HD, Wolfire Games, Humble Bundle, Penumbra, Frictional Games, Amnesia, Ori and the Blind Forest, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: More Spelunky!

Dead of Alive 3 is getting a remake, or remaster. And all around the world, people cheered!    After Not-E3, the news always tends to slow down. So we just tend to talk about Lee playing football at McLean park in Napier. He's practically famous by now. But we all know that you're here for game news, so lets go over everything we've missed from the Summer Game Fest.   Now we're going over every game that got shown that's coming to Xbox and Xbox PC. Strap yourselves in, its going to be a long one... Also, Kyle thinks Dark Souls doesn't look good. Because whats better for exposure than controversial statements? Although saying Dark Souls doesn't look good is not exactly controversial.    -- For previous episodes, our socials, community events, and more, visit ⭐THE XBOXCAST OFFICIAL WEBSITE ⭐

Director Fumeto Ueda has been hailed by many as somewhat of an auteur of the gaming landscape. A creative whose style embraces minimalist desolation. Known best for his work on Shadow of the Colossus, Ueda's directorial debut took place in 2001 with Ico, a boy-meets-girl action-adventure released for the PlayStation 2. Born with horns in a small village, Ico was seen as a great misfortune and was locked away in an eerie castle across the sea. Just as Ico settled in to his stony tomb, an earthquake strikes, freeing him and beginning the long journey to freedom. Along the way Ico meets Yorda, the daughter of the evil shadowy queen who rules over the land and the two work together to escape. While the premise was simple the game was considered by many to be a success, and has been cited by many prominent directors as an influence in their games. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Uncharted, Dark Souls, The Legend of Zelda, Metal Gear Solid 3, you name it, Ico as certainly left its mark on the world. But is it still fun to play today?On this episode, we discuss:Puzzle Solving.Ico often presents the player with simple diagetic puzzles that make use of the environment.Unlike many other games, it makes almost no attempt to guide the player.Is this too harsh, or is the lack of handholding refreshing in the moden era?Combat.Despite its claim to fame, Ico's combat has very little going for it.What exactly makes it so unsatisfying and could it be improved?Yorda.An enscort quest that lasts an entire game would surely raise eyebrows if released today.Did the team at Sony Computer Entertainment manage to bring Yorda to life?Or is she simply a frustrating Key for the player to drag about the gameworld? We answer these questions and many more on the 131st episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!--Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherIco OST: Michiru Oshima--Is Ico worth playing in the year 2025 and beyond? Are escort quests inherently unfun design? Does Patrick just hate fun or is James too easily impressed ?

Rip and tear… but this time with a flail and shield.In this episode of Game Pass or Pass, we break down everything we know so far about DOOM: The Dark Ages, the next brutal entry in id Software's iconic franchise — and it's unlike anything we've seen before.Set in a dark medieval world, this prequel to 2016's DOOM reinvents the Slayer as a knight-like figure, battling demonic hordes with brutal melee weapons, heavy siege-inspired firearms, and a rideable cybernetic dragon.We cover:Gameplay evolution: How id is blending high-speed FPS mechanics with grounded, gritty close-quarters combat — and what that means for longtime fansNew weapons: Including the shield-saw (think Captain America meets chainsaw) and a bone-shattering flail built for crowd control and brutalitySetting and tone: A complete shift from sci-fi Mars to a gothic, hell-torn kingdom that feels part Dark Souls, part DOOM EternalThe Dragon: Yes, the Slayer rides a biomechanical dragon into battleDesign philosophy: Why id says this is their most cinematic, story-rich DOOM yet, without sacrificing speed or savagery
