Jurandir Filho, Felipe Mesquita, Rogério Montanare, Evandro de Freitas e Bruno Carvalho batem um papo sobre "Death Stranding 2: On the Beach", continuação direta de uma das obras mais autorais e divisivas da história recente dos videogames. Hideo Kojima retorna ao seu universo pós-apocalíptico com ainda mais ambição, aprofundando ideias sobre conexão humana, isolamento e o preço de tentar “salvar” o mundo quando talvez ele não queira ser salvo.A história se passa anos após os eventos do primeiro jogo e acompanha novamente Sam Porter Bridges, interpretado por Norman Reedus, agora em um mundo que mudou, mas não necessariamente para melhor. A pergunta central que guia a narrativa é provocadora: deveríamos mesmo ter nos conectado? A sequência coloca em xeque o ideal de união apresentado no título original, explorando as consequências dessa ligação forçada entre pessoas, territórios e sistemas.Melhorou a narrativa do jogo? Ficou mais fácil? Kojima se superou novamente?=- MAIS DESCONTO NA ALURA | Estude na Alura, a maior escola de tecnologia on-line do Brasil!

We start with the reveal that Ryan Hurst has been cast as Kratos in Amazon Prime Video's upcoming God of War TV series. Best known to PlayStation fans as Thor in God of War Ragnarök, Hurst steps into the role of Kratos as the show adapts the 2018 reboot, focusing on the emotional journey between Kratos and Atreus. We discuss whether this casting choice makes sense and what it signals for the tone of the series. Next, we cover reports suggesting Forza Horizon 6 is set to release in May, with early access for Premium Edition players. With rumors pointing to a Japan setting, we debate whether this Xbox racing juggernaut could eventually make its way to PS5, following Microsoft's expanding multiplatform strategy. We also discuss confirmation that Avowed is coming to PlayStation 5 on February 17, priced at $49.99, with a Premium Edition offering bonus cosmetics, an artbook, and soundtrack. We break down what this means for Xbox exclusivity and PlayStation's growing third-party lineup. It's also time for the Platties, our PlayStation awards show celebrating the best games of the year, including Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding 2, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and other major Game of the Year contenders. From more Xbox games heading to PS5, to major franchise adaptations and award-season debates, this episode is packed with discussion, speculation, and PlayStation-focused analysis.

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.

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.

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.
