Sean is away again on assignment so the rest of us get together to talk some gaming. Claire has been playing retro Arnold Schwarzenegger games, particularly Total Recall, Predator and various versions of Termination 2: Judgement Day. Paul played through The Sinking City 2 and is working through Mortal Shell II. Gamescom is happening and has some game announcements there. Double Fine own all their own IPs again, Xbox's disc-to-digital initiative is testing soon, Konami wants a yearly Silent Hill and GTA VI is a thing, I guess? TDP is listener funded.

Depois das demissões severas que a equipe de 2XKO sofreu em fevereiro, já tínhamos noção de que o sucesso do jogo não estava no patamar que a Riot queria, mas agora temos uma evidência concreta disso. 2XKO parará de ter atualizações no final de 2026, após cerca de um ano do seu lançamento. Nós falamos dessa situação nesta edição, bem como do estado de Horizon Hunters Gathering, que passa por um reboot interno, e da Double Fine, que fará uma game jam para ter um pouco mais de garantias quanto ao seu futuro.Participantes:Heitor De PaolaAssuntos abordados:02:00 - O futuro da Double Fine14:00 - Horizon Hunters Gathering passa por um reboot interno após feedback negativo em testes30:00 - Riot anuncia fim das atualizações de 2XKO43:00 - Warren Spector anuncia sua aposentadoria dos videogames52:00 - GTA 6 tá vazando57:00 - Rápidas e curtasVai comprar jogos na Nuuvem?

Im April 2005 erscheint mit Psychonauts das Debütwerk von Tim Schafers Studio Double Fine Productions: ein 3D-Plattformer für Xbox, PC und PS2, der von der Fachpresse gefeiert wird, im Handel zunächst floppt und erst über die Jahre zum gefeierten Kultklassiker avanciert. Als junger Zirkusartist Raz taucht man in die Psyche skurriler Charaktere ein, um deren Neurosen und Ängste in herrlich abgedrehten Gedankenwelten aufzulösen. Chris und Fabian beleuchten, wie clever das Leveldesign mit den Traumata der Figuren verwoben ist und was den bissigen Humor ausmacht. Mithilfe von Popkulturexperte Christian Beuster ordnen sie den Stil im Zeitgeist der frühen 2000er ein und zeichnen die turbulente Entwicklungsgeschichte von den LucasArts-Wurzeln über wechselnde Publisher bis hin zum heutigen Kultstatus nach. Redaktion: Christian Schmidt, Fabian Käufer Gast: Christian Beuster Audioproduktion: Johannes DuBois, Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro, Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); trash80.com (Musik)

Uma maneira de alcançar novos jogadores? Indicador de recessão? Não sabemos exatamente como interpretar os testes que Xbox começou a fazer, em que oferece jogos via nuvem gratuitamente, porém com uma propaganda a cada sessão (que dura uma hora). Ainda na empresa, comentamos o memorando da Asha Sharma sobre o futuro da divisão e os seus quatro Cs e a demissão de quase 25% da Double Fine (que não é mais Xbox, mas ainda está ligado a tudo que ocorreu lá).Participantes:Guilherme JacobsHeitor De PaolaAssuntos abordados:04:00 - Xbox está testando jogos via nuvem gratuitos e com propagandas15:00 - Double Fine cerca de 25% de sua equipe24:00 - O memorando da Asha Sharma sobre o futuro de Xbox44:00 - PlayStation faz primeiro comentário pós-anúncio do fim dos discos em PlayStation57:00 - Rápidas e curtasVai comprar jogos na Nuuvem?

Whoa, Shuhei! We’ve got a lot to talk about. Stack it up and feel the power of a fearsome foursome! Join Tricky, Matt, Alex and Yield as they discuss, among other things, BioShock, Dinoblade, Moss: The Forgotten Relic, Helldivers 2, and Pragmata. What’s more, we delve into Double Fine cutting staff to stay afloat, and we dissect NVIDIA — reportedly — increasing prices of graphics cards. If you have been hoping for more affordable PC hardware, then you might want to sit down while you listen. And, of course, with the increasing prices from NVIDIA, you have to spend even more money to keep your gaming rig in top shape. You can’t run cutting-edge PC games on hopes, dreams and wishes. And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming! As usual, the news is full of surprises. We hit the high notes, and we hit the low notes, but we’ll always bring the banter. What are you waiting for? Dive in! As always, the opinions fly fast and heavy! Look out for this super-sized show, as the seemingly smallest conversation veers off into a multiverse of chit-chat. Sounds cool, huh? That’s the fancy way of saying “derailment.” And there’s plenty of that to go around! Let’s dance, Heroes of the XMB! In a bit of big news that would make the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles proud, iHeartRadio, Pandora and Spotify host episodes of Trophy Whores. It's a tremendous honor for the show to be part of three massive and respected entertainment communities, and Proven Gamer have only the fans to thank for pushing the podcast to soaring heights. The Trophy Whores work hard to put out a quality weekly show, but they owe so much love to their listeners, who keep the show strong and growing.

With very little news we make fun of the fact that Blinx the Time Sweeper was one of Xboxs big pulls for backwards compatibility on PC and lament the loss of Double Fine's layoffs. A majority of the episode is us talking about games we played! I beat both Def Jam games on PS2 and then moved back into 2026 with Denshattack! and Splatoon Raiders. Matt started Super Paper Mario and has been digging his return to the first Ratchet and Clank for PS3.

¡Ni el nepotismo mas evidente podrá salvarlos!¡Porque es lunes y SpreadShotNews Podcast ya llegó! En este episodio: Nico nos cuenta de que se trata VAMPIRE CRAWLERS: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors, mientras Maxi termina el Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection con una “ayudita” tecnica. En el Rapid-Fire, repasamos algunas noticias que no llegamos a comentar la semana pasada. Como la compra de EA por parte del PIF que ya es practicamente un hecho, mientras que la fusion entre Paramount y Warner ya no es tan un hecho, y Xbox ahora le ofrece la oportunidad a sus usuarios de ser monetizados a cambio de jugar 1 hora via cloud streaming. Continuamos con las noticias de la semana actual, como los despidos en Double Fine, GOG finalmente da luz verde a GOG Galaxy en Linux, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers tiene secuela de la mano de su director original, y usuarios planean un “apagon” digital en PlayStation en forma de protesta. Esta semana no tenemos Hot Coffe, asi que pasamos directamente a las recomendaciones del Special Move, con Nico recomendando la serie Slow Horses , y Maxi recomendando un video de Smarter Every Day sobre lo que ya muchos sabemos: el verdadero problema de fondo es el sistema.

God of War Laufey is confirmed to be releasing in February of 2027 while Sony Santa Monica also confirms that a Kratos-led God of War game will be coming afterwards. Sony apparently isn't satisfied enough to take away physical discs but they might be taking away physical controller buttons according to a new Playstation controller patent. Double Fine announces they have to lay off 25% of their staff after divesting from Xbox. #godofwar #sony #playstation #ps5 #doublefine #xbox #circana #videogames #allyoucangeek
This week, Zak and Aaron take a beat to address the thousands of layoffs that wracked many XBOX studios in recent weeks, and how that culling relates to Bethesda's newest move: just announcing or re-announcing every single thing they're working on all at once.

Xbox's big corporate reset resulted in 3200 layoffs, but Asha says we have to clap because they didn't close any studios. Hey! Don't mockingly clap. That's bad for the algorithm. We discuss how this latest round of cuts impacts long-running studios like Obsidian, Double Fine, and id Software (who was rewarded for releasing a phenomenal piece of DLC with severe down-sizing). Ain't gaming grand? Also: Daniel lists his top 10 wishes for the upcoming Ocarina of Time Remake and Kevin wishes Steve Burnside is deleted from the Code: Veronica Remake!
3,200 Xbox jobs. Studios sold, studios cut loose, studios just gone. And PlayStation is telling us physical discs will be done by 2028. I sat down this week and gave you my honest, unfiltered take on all of it — not just the business moves, but what this means for the actual human beings living through this. As somebody who is currently laid off himself, this one hits close to home, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.This episode covers:-
A seismic shift at Microsoft leads this week's GameBurst podcast, as newly appointed Xbox chief executive Asha Sharma executes a sweeping corporate restructure. The dramatic overhaul will see 3,200 layoffs, alongside a rare strategic reversal that allows celebrated studios Double Fine and Compulsion Games to regain their independence. Meanwhile, Ninja Theory and Undead Labs face new ownership, and Arkane enters a formal consultation period. Beyond the corporate fallout, we dive into Nintendo's quiet, EU-mandated redesign of the Switch Joy-Cons to feature user-replaceable batteries, and discuss a licensing snag that abruptly pulled Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 from July's Game Pass lineup. #gameburst In our Picks of the Week, the team explores a eclectic mix of tabletop and digital media. Gary takes us on a historical transit journey with 1840 Vienna Tramways and reviews the Aftergame.app platform, while Jerome highlights narrative adventures in The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales and the competitive martial arts of Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game. Jerome also shares an insightful video essay examining why curiosity ultimately triumphs over raw talent, drawing comparisons between the acclaimed series Frieren and The Apothecary Diaries.

Dan Moren joins Mikah Sargent this week! XBOX resets itself. Wealthy families are leaning towards AI tutors to better prepare their kids. AI is starting to get into the "Wrapped" trend with users' data. And New York is the first US state to ban the use of smart glasses in courthouses. Microsoft laid off thousands more Xbox employees this week, and spun off gaming studios such as Compulsion Games and Double Fine, as the division struggles with thin margins & rising hardware costs. Wealthy families are pulling kids from public school for pricey new programs like Alpha School and Forge Prep that swap teachers for AI "guides" and lessons in business skills, despite no data proving they work. Anthropic debuted a new tool called Reflect, reminiscent of Spotify's "Wrapped" feature, that gives Claude users a usage dashboard with quiet hours, break reminders, and insights into their habits, though it requires memory to be turned on. And New York became the first US state to ban the use of smart glasses in courthouses, following a trend of Illinois drivers and major cruise lines prohibiting the use of camera-equipped smart glasses over recording and safety concerns.

This week on The Trophy Room, we break down the growing backlash against Sony's decision to end physical game releases beginning in 2028. With over 200,000 petition signatures and PlayStation Plus cancellations gaining momentum, we discuss whether fans can realistically influence Sony's plans or if the company has already committed to an all-digital future.
