Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris bring you the 2025 Year in Review. What interesting stuff came out this year? What were the big news stories? Was any of it interesting? Was this, in fact, an incredibly poorly thought out segment that was super boring? Let us know! Then, in Week Old News, there really wasn't much, because it's Christmas Break and nobody is doing anything. But there was Pit Fighter news, so Dan was happy. Finally, in the Checkpoint, Dan obsessed over Ball x Pit and promised to finish Death Stranding 2 by next week, while Kris worked tech support for various xmas presents, played more Metroid Prime 4, and spent some quality time with his Atari VCS.

Death Stranding 2. For et spill. FOR ET SPILL! Jo mer jeg tenker på det, jo mer forstår jeg at det kommer til å være med meg resten av livet. Da jeg spilte det, måtte jeg stoppe opp flere ganger underveis og bare reflektere over hvor heldig jeg var som fikk lov til å være i Hideo Kojimas magiske univers.For et par uker siden tenkte jeg så mye på det at jeg fikk skikkelig behov for å snakke med noen om det. Derfor sendte jeg melding til Kojimafrelste spilljournalist Ida Doris Joynt, og heldigvis var responsen både umiddelbar og fylt med entusiasme! I dette dypdykket snakker vi om alt som er magisk med DS2, og om hvorfor det betyr så mye for oss. God helg

Welcome to Episode 381 of New Dad Gaming! The 2025 "No New Games" challenge is finally complete, and the floodgates are open. In this 2026 kickoff special, Trevor and Jeff break down the massive list of games they denied themselves last year and the upcoming titles they can't wait to pre-order. We discuss the shifting landscape of 2026, including the looming release of GTA 6, the slump in console sales, and why we are both pivoting toward handhelds like the PlayStation Portal and Steam Deck to fit gaming into dad life. We also do a live "Google Search" deep dive into the top PC games coming this year, debating everything from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to cozy farming sims like Fantasy Life. Plus, we discuss what a household looks like after a Roblox Ban and whether Fortnite or Star Wars Jedi will take its place. Topics Covered: The Floodgates Open: How it feels to finally be allowed to buy games again. Hardware Shift: Why we are ignoring the PS6 rumors to focus on Portable Gaming (Steam Deck & PS Portal). The 2026 Shopping List: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Death Stranding 2, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Backlog Catch-Up: Why Space Marine 2 is the first "old" game we are buying. Dad Life: Embracing "Mobile Gaming" (Red Dead on iPad) and why we are hoping for a Final Fantasy 7 Part 3demo. The Kids' Rotation: Life after banning Roblox and the move to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro: Welcome to 2026! 2:15 - The State of Gaming: GTA 6 & The Steam Deck Juggernaut 5:00 - Jeff's Wishlist: Final Fantasy 7 Part 3 & The PS Portal 8:30 - Trevor's Wishlist: Retro Handhelds & Red Dead on iPad 13:10 - Kids' Gaming Forecast: Can we keep Roblox out of the house? 17:45 - The "Immediate Buy" List: KCD2, Expedition 33, & Space Marine 2 22:00 - Live Reaction: Googling the "Top PC Games of 2026" (Arc Raiders & Donkey Kong?) 27:30 - Final Thoughts & Call for New Challenges Connect with New Dad Gaming:

W tym ostatnim, sylwestrowym odcinku 2025 roku, żegnamy stary rok i z ogromnym optymizmem patrzymy w przyszłość! Przygotowaliśmy dla Was wielkie podsumowanie Najbardziej Wyczekiwanych Gier 2026 roku, dzieląc je kwartał po kwartale. Omawiamy pewniaki takie jak GTA VI (listopad!), Resident Evil Requiem, Highguard czy Death Stranding 2, ale też zastanawiamy się nad losem tytułów takich jak Wiedźmin 4 czy Elder Scrolls VI. Czy Switch 2 faktycznie pokaże pazur w swoim drugim roku życia?Poza wróżeniem z fusów, zrecenzowaliśmy dla Was A.I.L.A – intrygujący horror science-fiction, w którym testujemy gry w grze. Sebastian sprawdził, czy sztuczna inteligencja potrafi straszyć, czy tylko nużyć, i czy warto sięgnąć po ten tytuł za pełną cenę.Tradycyjnie, na początku podzieliliśmy się tym, co ogrywaliśmy w święta (Mateusz Zdanowicz wciąż w Splatoon, Sebastian w Baldur's Gate 3), a w newsach poruszyliśmy temat drożejącego RAM-u, który może opóźnić nadejście nowej generacji konsol, oraz nowej Fify... od Netflixa.Czasówka[00:52]Wstęp i powitanie (Sylwestrowy nastrój, co ogrywaliśmy w święta: Splatoon, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Baldur's Gate 3).[02:46]News Shot: Afera z AI w Clair Obscure i Divinity, drożejący RAM i przyszłość konsol.[15:02]TEMAT GŁÓWNY: Kalendarz premier 2026 – Styczeń/Luty (Highguard, Mio: Memories in Orbit, Nioh 3, High On Life 2).[23:57]Premiery 2026 – Marzec/Kwiecień (Resident Evil Requiem, Marathon, Pragmata, Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred).[29:49]RECENZJA: A.I.L.A (Horror o testowaniu gier – ocena 5/10).[44:01]Premiery 2026 – Maj/Czerwiec i dalej (Lego Batman, 007 First Light, Phantom Blade Zero, GTA VI).[49:04]Zapowiedź GnM Plus (CD Projekt kupuje GOG, tajny projekt Bloober Team na Switch 2).[53:08]Premiery bez daty (Ace Combat 8, Fable, Forza Horizon 6, Wiedźmin 4).[56:18]News: Nowa FIFA od Netflixa – hit czy kit?[57:22]Zakończenie roku i życzenia noworoczne.

This one-hour episode of The Burt Selleck Podcast is a grimy, funny, totally undisciplined mess—in other words, exactly what fans expect. It opens mid-conversation and dives headfirst into a heady mix of lemonhead consumption strategies, hyper-specific butt talk, bizarre sports science, and group therapy for Detroit Lions fans.The episode's standout moment? The invention of the Bustometer—a ghost-hunting, cum-detecting suppository that somehow becomes a 10-minute conversation about NFL performance metrics and supernatural prostate access. It's like Shark Tank for people who haven't slept in three days and just watched Death Stranding.Structurally, the episode is pure entropy, with the group ping-ponging from childhood sour candy trauma to haunted sex toys to poorly-disguised thirst for Herman Miller chairs. The second half dips a bit into local show plugs and inside-baseball stuff, but it never fully abandons its degeneracy.Would I recommend it? For returning listeners, absolutely. It's a highlight reel of the podcast's most unhinged tendencies. For newcomers—listen at your own risk. If you make it through the Bustometer segment without flinching, you might have found your people.

Pour cette dernière émission de l'année, c'est une habitude, on fait le bilan. Citizen Sleeper 2; Clair-Obscur Expédition 33, Death Stranding 2, Wednesdays, Blue Prince, Arc Raiders, Hades 2, ou encore Wanderstop, 2025 a tenu ses promesses en termes de productions ludiques. Et c'est le moment de l'année où on a le droit de faire le tri pour mettre en avant celles qui nous ont vraiment marqués. Nous évoquons aussi l'actualité moins reluisante d'un secteur qui semble parfois à la dérive et nous revenons évidemment sur les douze mois que nous avons passés à suivre le jeu vidéo sous toutes ses formes.Jérémie Kletzkine, dans sa chronique jeux de société, fait lui aussi son top de l'année.Chapitres :0:00 Intro7:04 Les Les annonces des Game Awards26:11 Les tendances de l'année 202545:01 Déceptions, surprises1:05:21 Le top des jeux de société de Jérémie Kletzkine1:13:44 Les top 5 de l'année2:16:27 Mais de quoi tu parles ?2:32:28 Chacun son top2:42:44 Et quand vous ne jouez pas, vous faites quoi ?Retrouvez toutes les chroniques de jérémie dans le podcast dédié Silence on Joue !

Now that we've wrapped up DS2, it's time return to the world of books as we dig into The Creative Gene: A collection of essays by Kojima about his favorite books, movies, and various other things. We gain a lot of insight into his thematic inspirations, where many of the ideas for Death Stranding came from, some biographical info about the man, and his thoughts about life and the connections we make. Join us as we pour through this collection, and come to a startling conclusion about Kojima's gaming habits.Episode 73: Kojima, Get Your Library Card

Two months ago, a now-fired Sucker Punch developer lost her job due to an ill-timed social media post, and she's been fairly quiet ever since, at least until now. In a new article, artist Drew Harrison talks about what befell her, but -- truth be told -- she seems to have missed the biggest part of her own story: How much she could have (and did) harm the hundreds of other people that worked for years on Ghost of Yotei, only to disrupt the entire marketing roll-out of the game on the precipice of its hyped release. Let's revisit the situation with new context and insights, and see if we can make sense of whether her dismissal was fair, unfair, or perhaps just the product of the environment many industry professionals gleefully cheered on when the shoe was on the other foot. Plus: Death Stranding 2 gets an ESRB rating for a PC release, PlayStation 3 emulation is actively being worked on outside of Sony's walls, Stellar Blade 2 is abandoning PlayStation as its publishing partner, RAM price spikes threaten the future of console pricing, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Did Sony's recent update to PlayStation Portal ruin the functionality of the PS button? What happened to the so-called "One Sony" initiative? Could an ex-Housemarque developer's new game spark a renewed love for arcade-style romps? What's the latest on the misadventures of an entity called Young Colin?

Thanks to the likes of OpenAI, hardware manufacturers are scrambling to adjust prices amidst a shortage of RAM. As a result, things are about to become more expensive again! Unlike companies like Lenovo or PlayStation who seemingly bought stock in advance to help avoid price shock, Xbox appears to be ready to pass this one onto the consumer. Naturally, the "Xbox refugees" have turned their attention toward the Steam Machine which could fill a void in our gamer hearts. However, the Dukes find it hard to imagine a hero in this stock shortage story. Just how much will the Steam Machine be after Valve admits they will not be subsidizing and are just looking to make the device competitive? Will it look good beside a PlayStation 6 or next gen Xbox? We have a lot of questions, little answers, and even less money.

We kick things off with evidence that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is heading to PC far sooner than expected. A new ESRB rating has surfaced for the PC version—listing Sony Interactive Entertainment as the publisher—strongly suggesting a rapid turnaround similar to the first game's sub-one-year PC launch. With Kojima Productions expanding the franchise into animated films, A24 partnerships, and Disney+ series, the Death Stranding universe is entering its biggest era yet. Next, a 10-minute leak of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has spilled online, showing early gameplay, mocap sessions, Farah's redesigned character concepts, and confirmation of two new locations built from the ground up. Ubisoft has been issuing copyright strikes, validating the footage's authenticity. Quality looks early-alpha, but it's the clearest look yet at the long-delayed remake's evolution. We then turn to huge internal rumblings at Bungie: credible leaks point to Destiny 3 being in extremely early development, reportedly positioned as a major tentpole release for the PS6 generation. This comes as Destiny 2 struggles with engagement, follows a $200 million write-down from Sony, and Marathon continues through testing before launch. With Destiny fatigue setting in, Bungie is under immense pressure to deliver a franchise reset. FLASH NEWS breaks down the rapid-fire updates you need to know: • Cyberpunk 2077 hits a massive 35 million units sold • A Far Cry TV series is officially in the works with Noah Hawley attached • PlayStation Plus December lineup revealed: LEGO Horizon Adventures, Killing Floor 3, The Outlast Trials, and Synduality Echo of Ada If you're here for PlayStation insights, industry leaks, and deep-dive coverage of the biggest stories in gaming, this episode has everything.

As was originally reported, Xbox brought out a Partner Preview in November. It was chockful of everything strange like a co-op alien shop simulator or a thuggish rabbit beating up baddies to more traditional first person horror titles. The catch was that every game we saw throughout was a Play Anywhere title, a program that many of Xbox's players still yearn for the platform to leverage more. All in all, the Dukes enjoyed the show, especially given it dropped ahead of the biggest show of the year in the Game Awards where announcements are typically prioritized. Beyond that, we dive deep into the Valve rumor mill. Half Life 3 is everywhere! Is it finally happening and are the Dukes believers? We get into that plus updated thoughts on the Steam Machine now that we've had some time to digest the triple-whammy Valve hit us with last week.

Is Sony Ditching its PC Strategy For Valve's Steam Machine l The Game Awards GOTY Predictions Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PSTrophyroom Discord: https://discord.gg/wPNp3kC BSYK: https://tinyurl.com/3e24bn7y Store: https://tinyurl.com/ktbsdw3s This week on The Trophy Room: A PlayStation Podcast hosts Teegan, Kyle, and Joe talk about... This week delivers one of the biggest news drops of the year across PlayStation, Xbox, and the wider gaming industry. We break down PlayStation's massive Black Friday 2025 deals, including $100 off PS5 consoles (Standard, Digital, and Pro), major discounts on PSVR2, PlayStation Portal, DualSense controllers, Pulse headsets, and more. We also cover the huge PlayStation Plus sale, plus deep cuts on hundreds of digital PS5 and PS4 games—just in time for holiday shopping. But that's only the start. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is stumbling hard out of the gate. UK physical sales are down 61% compared to Black Ops 6, Steam concurrency is far below expectations, and Activision appears to be quietly hiding player-count data. We look at what's causing the drop—AI art controversy, campaign reception, franchise fatigue—and what it means for Call of Duty going forward. We also dive into the Game Awards 2025 nominations, where indies dominate the field. With Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hades 2, and Hollow Knight: Silksong going head-to-head with Death Stranding 2, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, this year's GOTY race might be the most competitive ever. Meanwhile, an Xbox insider claims PlayStation is pulling back from PC releases, contradicting earlier reports of day-and-date launches. With Steam Machines, cross-buy rumors, and shifting exclusivity strategies across the industry, we break down what's real—and what's noise. Plus rapid-fire FLASH NEWS: – Mafia: The Old Country gets a major free update – PS5 Welcome Hub adds stats, seasonal backgrounds & new widgets – VatiVidya announces an official Elden Ring lore book – Twisted Metal renewed for Season 3 – A massive Ghost of Yōtei update arrives next week with New Game+, new vendors, new cosmetics, replayable content, stat tracking, armor upgrades, Photo Mode enhancements, accessibility options, and more If you love PlayStation, industry analysis, and real-time gaming news breakdowns, this episode is absolutely packed.
