Podcasts about dualsense

It's mid-May, which can mean only one thing: We're at the point in the calendar when most companies release their financials for the previous fiscal year. Sony is one such organization, reporting a relatively flat year-on-year picture both generally, and with PlayStation in particular. With PS5 sales slowing down all the while the console is becoming more expensive, and with recent Housemarque exclusive Saros seemingly selling softly, does Sony have an uphill battle to keep PlayStation relevant? Or will the inevitable PlayStation 6 -- not to mention PS5's likely-strong swan song next year -- be enough to keep the ever-distracted masses engaged with the ecosystem? We discuss. Plus: Sony's second and third party lead gives a candid interview, 007: First Light goes gold, a new externally-manufactured DualSense controller has hit the market, PlayStation Plus Game Catalog receives a refresh, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Why did so many people believe Game Informer was teasing a Grand Theft Auto VI cover? Do we think the rumors indicating that FromSoft is working on a pirate-themed game are true? Is Dragon Quest XII finally going to be properly revealed in a couple of weeks? Could Chris contest Brad's status as the guy who cares the most about Last Stand Media?Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.0:00:00 - Intro0:55:19 - Stand down Jeff0:56:27 - Daxter the pup1:02:39 - Chris on Saint Slayer1:03:59 - Sacred polls1:06:07 - PSN Settlement update1:07:28 - The "original" Uncharted 41:17:07 - Fiscal year financials2:11:35 - Saros sales numbers2:36:15 - Stellar Blade 2 goes multiplatform2:43:42 - Playstation 3rd party lead interview2:50:44 - 007 First Light has gone gold2:55:40 - New Scuf controller2:58:29 - New PS+ Plus catalog games3:03:46 - What Are We Playing?

🎮 Rejugando 301: Saros, Diablo IV Lord of Hatred, DRM y la actualidad del videojuego En este episodio de Rejugando podcast, dirigido por RaffaValencia, el equipo aborda un programa cargado de actualidad, análisis y debate. Con la participación habitual del equipo, el episodio mezcla impresiones en caliente, reflexiones críticas y noticias clave del sector. 🧪 Saros: análisis completo de lo nuevo de Housemarque El programa arranca con un análisis detallado de Saros, el nuevo título de Housemarque. Las primeras impresiones dejan claro que se trata de una evolución directa de Returnal, pero con cambios importantes: Se percibe como más accesible y menos frustrante que su predecesor Introduce nuevas mecánicas como el uso de escudo para absorber proyectiles y potenciar ataques Mantiene la base de acción arcade con esquive y disparo, pero con ajustes que facilitan el progreso Apuesta por una estructura algo más narrativa y cinematográfica, aunque sigue siendo un juego centrado en la jugabilidad Uno de los puntos más destacados es el sistema de riesgo/recompensa, donde asumir “corrupción” reduce la vida máxima pero aumenta el daño, generando decisiones constantes en combate . A nivel técnico y artístico, el juego se percibe superior a Returnal, con mejoras gráficas y mayor variedad visual, además de un uso muy destacado del sonido y del DualSense . El programa también entra en el debate clave: 👉 si este tipo de juegos, más exigentes y de nicho, pueden sostenerse comercialmente o si su éxito dependerá de una buena acogida crítica y de comunidad . 🔥 Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred cambia el juego Segundo gran bloque con el análisis de la expansión Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred. El equipo destaca que no es una simple expansión, sino casi un “rework” completo del juego base: Cambios profundos en sistemas clave Ajustes en progresión, objetos y builds Continuación narrativa centrada en Mephisto Se valora que la expansión mejore la base del juego y lo haga más interesante a largo plazo, especialmente para jugadores que buscan profundidad en el endgame. 📉 Xbox: caída del hardware y dudas de futuro Uno de los momentos más relevantes del programa es el análisis de los últimos datos financieros de Xbox. Las cifras son claras: Ingresos bajan un 7% Servicios caen un 5% Hardware se desploma un 33% El debate gira en torno a varias ideas: La marca lleva años en tendencia descendente en hardware La recuperación en esta generación parece complicada El futuro pasa por reforzar servicios como Game Pass Se plantea que Xbox ya está mirando a la siguiente generación como vía de recuperación, mientras intenta sostener su ecosistema digital. 💿 DRM y juegos digitales: la gran polémica El programa dedica un bloque amplio al debate sobre el DRM y la propiedad digital, a raíz de cambios en condiciones de uso en PlayStation. Los juegos digitales no son propiedad del usuario, sino licencias Las compañías se reservan el derecho a modificar o retirar contenidos Existe preocupación por la falta de protección legal al consumidor También se menciona el movimiento Stop Killing Games, que busca defender los derechos de los jugadores ante estas prácticas. El debate refleja una inquietud creciente en la comunidad: 👉 la fragilidad del modelo digital frente al físico. 🏴 Ubisoft y Assassin’s Creed: problemas internos Otro bloque importante se centra en la situación de Ubisoft, especialmente en el desarrollo de la nueva entrega de Assassin’s Creed. El tono es de preocupación, ya que estos movimientos no suelen ser buena señal para el resultado final del juego. ⚙️ Steam y hardware: dudas en el mercado También hay espacio para comentar el ecosistema de Valve Corporation y el posible lanzamiento de hardware. 🎮 Más actualidad y debate El episodio se completa con: Comentarios sobre aniversarios de juegos clásicos Reflexiones sobre la evolución del sector Interacción con la comunidad y agradecimientos a Rejuganders

A duo of interesting stories quietly circulated around the PlayStation ecosystem over the last few days, with potential clarity shone on some lingering, years-long issues. For starters, beloved ex-Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida recently spoke at a gaming event in Australia, where he revealed more precious information on his departure from first party, noting that ex-CEO Jim Ryan ultimately fired him from his role for not acceding to his demands. Meanwhile, an ex-Naughty Dog lighting artist seemed to spill the beans on some of the behind-the-scenes drama surrounding Uncharted 4, which -- as you may recall -- was a tortured project. But no one knew things were as bad as they seemingly were, until now. Plus: Age verification is coming to PlayStation hardware near you in the UK and elsewhere, Assassin's Creed IV's remake has finally officially emerged, SEGA's classic Ecco the Dolphin franchise is being revived, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! With Kotaku making aggressive new hires while touting increasing traffic, can the once-storied media brand be saved? Do any of us mess with motion aiming on DualSense? Is there a feeling of melancholy when deleting an old online friend from your PSN list? Would you believe that Colin never even one time suffered from "imposter syndrome"?Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.0:00:00 - Intro0:18:01 - Saint Slayer is here!0:34:43 - Gaming with a new baby0:46:30 - Imposter syndrome0:54:21 - Colin power0:55:07 - More details on Shuhei's exit from Sony1:21:11 - Uncharted 4 drama1:38:29 - PlayStation age verification1:42:25 - Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced1:49:51 - Ecco the Dolphin returns1:54:56 - March 2026 Circana2:01:29 - What We're Playing (Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege, Pragmata, Mouse PI for Hire, Tomodachi Life,Vampire Crawlers)2:31:12 - Communism and Tetris2:35:44 - Fired for a review?2:48:44 - Can Kotaku be saved?3:00:35 - Motion aiming3:05:37 - Learning from video games3:22:33 - Deleting PSN friends Learn more about your ad choices.

Podcast ONE: 17 de abril de 2026 Gemini Skills en Chrome. Claude Opus 4.7 aplasta a GPT 5.4. Canva IA 2.0 con modo offline. PeekDesktop gratis para Windows. Tres indie games y el mapa de libertad de internet 2026. @vincent_quezada en #one_digital #onedigital #PodcastONE ¡Escúchalo! Escucha aquí el Podcast ONE: 17 de abril de 2026 One Digital — 17 de abril 2026: Gemini Skills en Chrome, Claude Opus 4.7, Canva IA 2.0, videojuegos indie y libertad de internet En este episodio del viernes 17 de abril de 2026 — con Vincent Quezada en directo desde São Paulo, Brasil —, se repasa una semana intensa marcada por tres grandes lanzamientos de IA: las Habilidades de Gemini en Chrome (14 de abril), Claude Opus 4.7 de Anthropic (16 de abril) y Canva IA 2.0 (16 de abril). Además, tres videojuegos indie muy distintos en tono — el noir cinematográfico de MousePi for Hire, el competitivo táctico de Last Flag y la ternura de The Day I Became a Bird —, la herramienta gratuita PeekDesktop para Windows, el juego artístico medieval Scriptorium: Master of the Manuscripts, un adelanto de Tree Planter y el informe global de libertad de internet 2026. Habilidades de Gemini en Chrome: la IA agéntica llega a tu navegador Google Chrome lanzó el 14 de abril de 2026 una actualización que integra las Habilidades (Skills) de Gemini directamente en el panel lateral del navegador. La propuesta es sencilla pero poderosa: según datos internos de Google, los usuarios repiten el mismo comando en Gemini hasta 5 veces al día. Con las Habilidades, esos comandos se guardan como atajos reutilizables y se ejecutan con un solo clic — o escribiendo / en el panel — en una o varias pestañas al mismo tiempo. ¿Qué son y cómo funcionan? Definición: Atajos personalizados que ejecutan comandos de IA guardados previamente, aplicables a cualquier página web abierta en Chrome. Biblioteca incluida: Más de 50 habilidades preconfiguradas para tareas como comparar productos en tiendas, resumir documentos, adaptar recetas a dietas específicas, reescribir textos por tono (casual, técnico) o planificar viajes. Creación manual: Escribe un comando → recibe respuesta → selecciona “Guardar como habilidad” desde el historial del chat → asigna nombre y emoji → listo. Gestión: Desde el ícono de brújula en el panel de Gemini, donde también se pueden editar o ampliar con instrucciones adicionales. Sincronización: Las habilidades están vinculadas a la cuenta de Google del usuario y están disponibles desde cualquier dispositivo con Chrome iniciado. Seguridad: Para acciones sensibles — envío de correos, creación de eventos de calendario, uso de tarjetas de crédito — el sistema siempre solicita confirmación explícita antes de ejecutar. Navegador tradicional vs. Chrome con Gemini Característica Navegador tradicional Chrome con Gemini Skills Automatización de tareas Manual (copiar, pegar, abrir pestañas) Automática vía habilidades guardadas Interacción con contenido Lectura pasiva Respuestas contextualizadas, extracción de datos en página Personalización Solo historial y marcadores Habilidades personalizables, aprendizaje de hábitos Seguridad HTTPS + bloqueo de ventanas emergentes Confirmación en acciones sensibles, cifrado de comandos Disponibilidad y limitaciones actuales Disponible solo para usuarios en Estados Unidos con Chrome en inglés. Expansión a México y Latinoamérica prevista en semanas o meses. Solo funciona en la versión de escritorio de Chrome (Windows, macOS, ChromeOS). Sin fecha para móviles. Las habilidades borradas no se pueden recuperar automáticamente — recomendable anotar los comandos importantes. No se pueden compartir entre cuentas, pero sí se puede pasar el prompt por mensaje para que otro usuario lo guarde en su propia cuenta. Herramientas similares ya existentes: MaxAI y TwinBrain ofrecen funciones parecidas, pero sin la integración nativa de cuenta de Google. “Permiten pasar de ‘tengo que escribir este comando cinco veces al día’ a ‘un clic y listo’. Eso es productividad real” — Vincent Quezada Claude Opus 4.7 de Anthropic: el modelo que lee tus capturas de pantalla Anthropic lanzó el 16 de abril de 2026 Claude Opus 4.7, sucesor directo de Opus 4.6, disponible en Claude.ai, la API de Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI y Microsoft Foundry. El precio se mantiene igual: $5 USD por millón de tokens de entrada y $25 USD por millón de tokens de salida. Mejoras concretas sobre Opus 4.6 Eficiencia agéntica: 64.3% en benchmarks de tareas autónomas, frente al 53.4% de Opus 4.6, el 57.7% de GPT 5.4 y el 54.2% de Gemini 3.1 Pro. Visión de alta resolución: Acepta imágenes de hasta 2,566 píxeles de largo (~3.75 megapíxeles), más del triple que modelos anteriores de Claude. Habilita agentes que leen capturas de pantalla densas y extraen datos de diagramas técnicos complejos. Precisión con herramientas: 87.6% en tareas de visión con herramientas habilitadas vs. 74.5% sin herramientas — 10 a 12 puntos por encima de Opus 4.6. Razonamiento en documentos: 80.6% vs. 57.1% de Opus 4.6 — prácticamente duplica a Gemini y supera en ~30% a GPT 5.4. Contexto largo: 71% vs. 58.6% de Opus 4.6. Seguimiento literal de instrucciones: El modelo ejecuta las instrucciones de forma estricta — ventaja para desarrollo, pero requiere revisar prompts diseñados para versiones anteriores. Novedades para desarrolladores Nivel de esfuerzo X-High: Nuevo nivel entre High y Max para control más fino entre profundidad de razonamiento y velocidad. En Claude Code, se convierte en el nivel predeterminado para todos los planes. Control de presupuesto de tareas (beta): Permite a los desarrolladores limitar el gasto en tokens durante ejecuciones largas — especialmente relevante porque “pensar cuesta muchísimo dinero”. Comando Ultra Review en Claude Code: Genera una sesión de revisión que detecta errores de diseño que identificaría un revisor cuidadoso. Planes Pro y Max reciben 3 revisiones de prueba sin costo. Consideraciones de costo en la migración El analizador de texto actualizado puede generar entre 1.0 y 1.35x más tokens según el tipo de contenido. El modelo razona más a nivel de esfuerzo elevado en tareas autónomas, generando más tokens de pensamiento. Recomendación de Anthropic antes de migrar: ajustar nivel de esfuerzo, configurar presupuesto de tarea, indicar al modelo que sea más conciso y medir el impacto en el tráfico propio. Seguridad Opus 4.7 es el primer modelo de Anthropic que incorpora salvaguardas automáticas para detectar y bloquear solicitudes de uso prohibido en ciberseguridad. El lanzamiento de Mythos Preview — que en pruebas detectó errores de diseño críticos en sistemas reales — permanece restringido mientras se validan estas protecciones en modelos menos avanzados. “Anthropic no exagera en esta ocasión. Presenta números concretos, reconoce limitaciones y ofrece herramientas reales de control. Eso en el ecosistema actual de IA no es poca cosa” — Vincent Quezada Canva IA 2.0: de herramienta de diseño a sistema central creativo El 16 de abril de 2026, en el evento Canva Creative 2026 en Los Ángeles, Canva presentó su mayor evolución desde su fundación en 2013. Canva IA 2.0 transforma la plataforma de una herramienta de diseño a un asistente conversacional completo que entiende lenguaje natural, mantiene contexto del proyecto y coordina flujos de trabajo de principio a fin. En México, uno de cada ocho usuarios de internet utiliza Canva mensualmente; en los últimos 12 meses se crearon 791 millones de diseños, alcanzando casi 3,000 millones en total. 10 novedades clave de Canva IA 2.0 Diseño conversacional: Describe una idea en lenguaje natural y Canva genera un diseño 100% editable con estructura, estilo de marca y layout desde el inicio. Orquestación de agentes: Ingresa un brief creativo y Canva coordina todas las herramientas necesarias para generar el contenido completo listo para editar o publicar. Inteligencia basada en objetos: Ediciones precisas sin afectar el resto del diseño — cada elemento se mantiene en capas editables independientes. Memoria activa: Aprende tu forma de trabajar, aplica automáticamente el estilo de marca y evoluciona con el tiempo. Modo offline (Canva Offline): Permite seguir creando sin internet. Los cambios se sincronizan automáticamente al reconectarse. Flujos de trabajo inteligentes: Centraliza herramientas, flujos y resultados desde un diseño rápido hasta campañas integrales. Conectores: Integra Slack, Gmail, Google Drive y Calendar. Genera resúmenes de reuniones, convierte correos en discursos de ventas o crea newsletters basados en actividad de Slack. Tareas programadas: Automatizaciones como “genera contenido social todos los viernes” o “crea resúmenes de correo diario”. Búsqueda web integrada: Realiza búsquedas y estructura la información directamente en el diseño — ideal para propuestas de negocio o estudios de mercado. Inteligencia de marca: Aplica automáticamente fuentes, colores y estilos de marca en cada diseño, actualizando el trabajo existente al instante. Modelos propios de Canva IA 2.0 Canva Proteus: Experiencia de estilo. Canva Lucid Origin: Generación de imágenes. Canva IA2B: Conversión de imagen a video. Hasta 7 veces más rápidos y 30 veces más económicos que alternativas comparables para sus más de 250 millones de usuarios activos mensuales. Disponibilidad: Versión preliminar desde el 16 de abril para el primer millón de usuarios con expansión progresiva. México se encuentra entre los cinco países con mayor adopción de funciones avanzadas. “Equipo de dos personas que maneja más de 10 blogs. Toda herramienta que ayude a administrar tiempo es bienvenida. Canva IA 2.0 hace exactamente eso” — Vincent Quezada PeekDesktop v0.7.2: el gesto de macOS que Windows necesitaba PeekDesktop es una herramienta gratuita que replica en Windows el comportamiento de macOS Sonoma: un clic en cualquier zona vacía del fondo de pantalla oculta todas las ventanas activas al instante; un segundo clic o cualquier interacción con la barra de tareas restaura todo exactamente como estaba.

La decisión táctica del escondite es tan importante como el combate posterior. Entrevistado por One Digital en el Gamescom 2024 — ahora disponible en Steam. Sistema económico interno: Se adquieren mejoras durante la partida (visión de enemigos, escudos adicionales). Elenco: 8–10 personajes con arma principal única y dos habilidades especiales — exploradores, artilleros, especialistas en sigilo y soportes. Escenarios: Pueblo fantasma en cañón boscoso, aldea de montañas nevada, templos ancestrales — todos construidos a mano como sets televisivos. Optimización: 144 fps en 4K con requisitos accesibles (RTX 1060/RX 960 son suficientes). Soporte para mandos Xbox, DualSense y DualShock. Anti-cheat integrado. Contras: Modo de juego único, dependencia de comunidad activa, progresión de pase de temporada lenta para jugadores casuales.

Frank, un niño preadolescente, se enamora de su compañera de clase Sylvia — apasionada de las aves — y decide construirse un disfraz de pájaro con cartón, plumas y pegamento para integrarse a su universo. Duración: 70–90 minutos. Arte visual pintado a mano, banda sonora adaptativa de melodías de pájaros. Lee la reseña completa en onedigital.mx. Sin penalizaciones: Los fallos generan situaciones cómicas. Reintentos inmediatos sin interrupción narrativa. Mecánicas: Exploración pausada, alineación de piezas, trazado de formas, secuencias rítmicas y colección de materiales para el disfraz. Demo gratuita disponible en Steam. Disponible para PC (Steam), PS5 y Nintendo Switch. Incluye español. Recomendado por Vincent especialmente para padres con hijos preadolescentes — “jugar juntos la historia es una alternativa a contarla”. Contras: Muy corto para jugadores que buscan contenido extenso, mecánicas simples sin reto técnico. Scriptorium: Master of the Manuscripts (Jazza Games) Herramienta creativa del estudio detrás de Inkulinati. El jugador asume el rol de un escriba medieval que acepta encargos de clientes variopintos y compone páginas iluminadas con una biblioteca de más de 1,000 elementos históricos auténticos. Dos modos: historia con intrigas cortesanas y humor negro, y sandbox de pergamino en blanco. Paleta medieval: Azul ultramar, rojo bermellón y pan de oro. Texturas que simulan pergamino desgastado. Banda sonora: Instrumentos de cuerda pulsada (oud, arpa) con flautas y ambientes de monasterio. Exportación PNG de alta calidad — la comunidad ya lo usa para cartas de tarot, mapas de fantasía, memes medievales y recreaciones de cultura pop. Requisitos: Windows 10/11, 8 GB RAM, 8 GB en disco. Disponible en Steam desde el 16 de abril. Contras: El espacio del pergamino puede saturarse en encargos complejos, sin retroalimentación compositiva, sin multijugador. Tree Planter (próximamente) — Henry River, Diana Swan y Harry Kahn Juego indie de creación de bosques interactivos con conciencia ecológica. Por cada copia vendida, el equipo se compromete a plantar un árbol en granjas y escuelas locales. Visualmente usa texturas suaves y paletas pastel; mecánicas simples accesibles para cualquier edad. Revisión completa la próxima semana. Libertad de internet en el mundo 2026: México en el lugar 72 El informe de Crowe World — basado en datos de Freedom House y Onyx Florey — analizó 65 países en cuatro categorías: torrenting, contenido para adultos, expresión política y cívica en línea, y accesibilidad de VPN. Solo 11 países alcanzaron la puntuación máxima de 92/100: Bélgica, Costa Rica, Dinamarca, Finlandia, Islandia, Liechtenstein, Nueva Zelanda, Noruega, Eslovenia, Surinam y Timor-Leste. Peores puntuaciones: Corea del Norte (0), Rusia, Pakistán, Irán y China. México: 72 puntos — misma posición que Bulgaria y España. Las restricciones se concentran en torrenting y expresión política; el acceso a redes sociales, VPN y contenido para adultos sigue siendo libre. Costa Rica: 92 puntos — el mejor de América Latina. Tendencia global: La libertad en la red lleva ocho años en declive, incluso en democracias establecidas. “La libertad de internet no solo es un derecho digital, sino un pilar fundamental para la democracia y el desarrollo en el siglo XXI” — Vincent Quezada Nota operativa: ataques DDoS y verificaciones de seguridad en onedigital.mx Los lectores pueden ver ocasionalmente el mensaje “verificando que eres humano” al acceder a onedigital.mx. Los ataques DDoS consisten en bots que generan miles de peticiones simultáneas hasta saturar el servidor. La defensa activa con filtros de verificación es una medida necesaria, especialmente en un contexto donde los atacantes usan herramientas de IA para detectar vulnerabilidades con mayor velocidad. El equipo trabaja en ajustar los filtros para reducir la fricción sin comprometer la seguridad. El cargo Podcast ONE: 17 de abril de 2026 apareció primero en OneDigital.

本集節目由【PlayStation 台灣】贊助播出 我最喜歡的遊戲是《原神》，《原神》最棒的體驗就在 PS5，而讓 PS5 體驗更上一層樓的就是 DualSense 手把。沒想到這一切都在今天連成一條線！

Happy New Year! Well, maybe not so happy for Sony. That's because -- if rumors and percolations are true -- PlayStation 5's ROM keys have been leaked, meaning that the console is likely on the verge of being jailbroken. And for veterans of the PS3 era, you know precisely what that means: Chaos. Well, maybe? Let's discuss this potentially serious development. Also: Ruminations on the passing of legendary games producer Vince Zampella, new inbound DualSense and cover colors, Marathon's exiting art director, Gran Turismo 7 quietly amassing a huge player base, Kojima's plans to cast (and begin shooting) PHYSINT this year, China Hero Project title Convallaria running into serious issues, Wolfenstein 3 whispers, and much more. Then: Listener inquiries! With computing component pricing and rarity skyrocketing, should we expect a much-delayed PlayStation 6 launch? With only a few weeks until launch, is Wildlight's F2P shooter Highguard in serious trouble? Following a second Ghost game, what should Sucker Punch make next? Is Dustin quietly morphing into a furry before our very eyes? This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Episode 404 - Game Awards RaiderIn this week's episode of PS This is Awesome! we kick things off with Games We're Playing:

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.

En este especial de Rejugando repasamos los 5 años de la generación de consolas PS5 y Xbox Series X|S: lanzamientos, exclusivas, retrocompatibilidad, Game Pass, compras millonarias y el futuro del videojuego. Analizamos cómo ha cambiado la industria, qué promesas se cumplieron (y cuáles no) y hacia dónde se dirige el mundo de las consolas. Un programa lleno de nostalgia, debates y risas para los amantes del gaming. ¡Madre mía, qué viaje hemos vivido en Rejugando! En este especial repasamos los 5 intensos años de la generación de consolas PS5 y Xbox Series X|S, y lo hicimos con la ilusión de quien abre una caja nueva… aunque luego te das cuenta de que dentro venía una generación un tanto irregular 😅. Arrancamos recordando aquel noviembre de 2020, con la pandemia en pleno auge, los packs imposibles de 800 € y la fiebre por conseguir una consola que parecía más rara que un unicornio. Analizamos cómo Xbox apostó por la potencia bruta, Game Pass y la retrocompatibilidad total, mientras Sony tiró por el catálogo exclusivo y el DualSense como su gran bandera tecnológica. Entre bromas y nostalgia, sacamos los datos: Series S vendió más que Series X, la escasez de semiconductores nos volvió locos, y muchos juegos anunciados como “de lanzamiento”… acabaron saliendo años después. ¡Ay, esos “próximamente” eternos! También repasamos cómo Xbox quiso conquistar el mundo comprando Bethesda y Activision Blizzard, pero acabó en juicios y retrasos, y cómo PlayStation se despistó con los juegos como servicio (RIP a tantos proyectos cancelados). Todo, mientras Game Pass pasó de ser la revolución barata del videojuego a subir precios y perder un poco su brillo. Hablamos del presente y del futuro: Steam Deck, portátiles gaming, consolas híbridas, y un futuro donde ya no todo será potencia, sino inteligencia artificial y nuevas formas de jugar. Porque si algo ha quedado claro es que las generaciones de consolas, tal como las conocíamos, ya no existen. Un programa repleto de recuerdos, risas, debates y amor por los videojuegos. Un repaso sin filtros a una generación que nos dio muchas promesas, algunos quebraderos de cabeza y, sobre todo, toneladas de temas para seguir “rejugando”.

For those with specific use cases, the PlayStation Portal has always been awesome. But Sony has been quietly bolstering the device over the last two years, and with its newest update, it's become more powerful than ever. Those with a PS+ Essential subscription can now purchase and stream nearly 3,000 games directly to the device without any sort of console tether, a major step-up for a peripheral once reliant on PS5. What's it all mean for the future of PlayStation? We discuss! Plus: New cross-buy tags on PSN indicate Sony is preparing some sort of PC launcher, dynamic pricing on the PlayStation Store has some customers in a tizzy, Dan Houser spills the beans on Rockstar's cancelled PS3-exclusive spy thriller Agent, Marvel looks to stick with Sony-owned Insomniac for a long time to come, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Does Colin have any reflections on GameFAQs as it turns 30? What constitutes a good in-game map? How has our gaming behavior changed over the years? Who's most likely to want to blow into the DualSense microphone to light fires in Ghost of Yotei, even if they don't have to?

If you're a regular purchaser of games, you're a stark minority within the very industry you know and love. We've known all about the revenue-related trends directing games as of late, but recent data indicates things are far more dire than they seem, particularly if you're a single player purist. For instance, a third of gaming consumers purchase less than one game a year; 12% buy one game a year; 18% buy two games a year. Only 14% of players buy at least one game a month! Yet, there's more money flowing than ever. Like, lots more. What gives? A migration of customers and their habits, of course! We discuss. Other news this week includes a brief Mark Cerny video celebrating Sony's collaboration with AMD for PlayStation 6, the reemergence of Marathon with invites to an NDA'd closed test, the bluest DualSense controller you could possibly imagine, rumors of a cancelled Reconstruction-era Assassin's Creed, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Could Sony be on the precipice of adding to its family of first party studios? Is there a potential unfilled niche for medical-themed titles? Does PlayStation need to spin-up a new loyalty program? Forget about your favorite color. What's your favorite shape?

Fred is still plunging into Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, Jake takes on Ghost of Yotei, and we share some awesome listener feedback about self-care and making sure we're not burning the candle at both ends. Thanks to everyone for understanding our short break! In news, Battlefield 6 physical copies have leaked ahead of release, which is surprising for two reasons — hardly anyone buys physical games anymore, and most don't actually contain the game on the disc. This one does, though online is still required even for the campaign. October's PS Plus Essential lineup features Alan Wake 2, Goat Simulator 3, and Cocoon. Rumors are swirling that Xbox might not release a next-gen console at all, which could leave PlayStation unmatched when the PS6 eventually launches. There's also talk of a new DualSense controller with a removable battery, and reports that EA may be going private amid a potential $50 billion buyout. Short, spooky, and full of PlayStation talk. We also dive into the State of Play that we didn't get a chance to discuss last week. — it's good to be back!By joining our Patreon community for ONLY $1.00 per month, you'll also enjoy these exclusive benefits:Early Access: Be the first to listen to our episodes as soon as they're ready.

All anyone wants to talk about right now is Electronic Arts, and reasonably so. The American publishing titan is on the verge of being purchased by external interests for $55 billion, and when we say external, we mean it. The major player in reverting EA to a private corporation is Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, muddying this already complex deal that also happens to be the largest leveraged buyout in human history. Perhaps not surprisingly, this gives us much to pontificate on. Other news this week includes rumblings of a DualSense revision with a removable battery, the very real potential that a Prototype remaster is imminent, the wisdom (or perhaps lack thereof) in Forza Horizon 6 skipping PlayStation 5 at launch, and more. We then get into listener inquiries to wrap up the show, as we always do. What are our thoughts on Xbox's staggering Game Pass price hike? How do we feel about Magic: The Gathering's stylish new collaboration with PlayStation? Is Destiny officially on death's door? Will Dustin have a coffee named after him at a cafe in Texas?

Live in your world, podcast in ours. Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we're going to be talking about Astro Bot, a 3D platformer and a PS5 exclusive. When it comes to console exclusivity, I would usually argue against it, as it restricts people's access to games and tend to only benefit established developers and publishers who already have a lot of clout in the industry. This game, however, really wouldn't exist without it. Set in a very Sony-themed world where your lead character travels through space inside a PS5 and flies between levels on a DualSense 5 controller, your goal is to complete levels in order to regain the internal components, fan, GPU, etc., of the PS5 and rebuild it. The main collectibles for progression are robot representations of games that Sony has had a hand in over the years and the lead up to the final boss involves fighting atop a PS Vita. I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel a little dystopian. It is cute, to some extent, and the game's levels are well designed and rotate between a variety of interesting powerups, so I wouldn't fault you for enjoying the game in spite of the branding, but I might look at you a little funny if you enjoyed it because of it. We're going to be talking about the use of the unique hardware of the PS5, how motivational the collectibles are, and what you could and could not consider to be a box. Thank you for joining us again this week! This was a pretty smooth game to play, all things considered, and there's something to be said for that. Sometimes you're just in the mood for something that doesn't throw up too many roadblocks, and this fills that niche pretty well, being not too challenging but very visually vibrant and playful. Were you looking forward to this game after the previous Astro titles, or did you get this game because of a lack of other titles on the PS5? Let us know in the comments or over on our Discord server! Next time, we're going to be talking about Life is Strange: Double Exposure, so we hope you'll join us for that.

It alos has an energy saver that lowers the performance of the PS5 to save energy could this also lead to a device thats a future and acual PSP or PSVita mobile device akin to a Nintendo Switch 2? Maybe a gaming handheld at the start of the next generation of video game consoles with a PlayStation 6 and PS6 Handheld or even a PS5 handheld device that native without the need to stream. Its also a sign of PlayStation's push to publish more games on PC and Steam. Also Battlefield 6 may launch at a premium price of over $80 this after Microsoft Gaming and Xbox announced that The Outer Worlds 2 has lowered its price from $80 toa more reasonable 70 us dollar price tag. If Electronic Arts revealed the price to be 80 dollars along the likes Mario Kart World and Grand Theft Auto 6 might very well launch at that price. Is BF4 really having the backing the way of Call of Duty Black Ops 7 or GTA 6? Also our Wuchang Fallen Feathers Review in Progress as it already is breaking records on steam concurrent player count? 

Sony-owned Santa Monica Studio is one of PlayStation's first party powerhouses. Responsible for the God of War franchise -- and, other than Kinetica early in the PS2 era, only the God of War franchise -- there was some excitement building about what was next. But what if it's just more God of War... at least kinda? New rumors indicate that Santa Monica is working on something more familiar than we might have hoped, and from our perspective, that can only mean one thing. We discuss. Plus: Sucker Punch expresses interest in returning to Infamous, Ghost of Yotei gets special edition PS5 hardware and a DualSense, HBO's second season of The Last of Us earns a ton of Emmy nominations, concept art for Deviation's cancelled PlayStation exclusive emerges, Dragon Quest VII is apparently being remade at Square Enix, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! With the demise of Xbox's Turn 10 Studio, is it time for PlayStation to port Gran Turismo to its rival's machine? Is Colin totally off-base with his desire for Arc System Works to create a PlayStation fighter instead of a Marvel one? What's the worst example in our personal gaming lives of losing a save file? Should Dustin enter into an illicit relationship with an eager listener?

Helldivers 2 comes to Xbox on August 26 the same day as Gears of War Reloaded arrives on PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro. Does this mean we can see PlayStation exclusive games onto the Xbox Series S and X consoles? This come sonly the day after the mass layoffs that rocked Microsoft Gaming and Xbox game Studios and Bethesda. Ghost of Yotei Collector's Edition Consoles and DualSense controller head to PlayStation Direct and select retailers. Cyberpunk 2077 debutes on PlayStation Plus Extra as as celebration of 15 years of PS Plus for July.

With Bend Studio laying off 30% of its staff as it gears up to enter a lengthy pre-production stage, it's clear their next release (should it ever materialize) will be on PlayStation 6. This is just the most recent example in a lengthening string of Sony absolutely botching its first party initiative, deploying teams on projects that make no sense, purchasing studios that have never even released a game, and complicating a service game strategy that -- at least on paper -- made a lot of sense. Where does the buck stop, exactly? And how lucky is Sony and the PlayStation brand that they've been able to coast almost entirely on external content and commercial inertia all the while? Plus: MindsEye is a complete disaster, Stellar Blade becomes PlayStation Publishing's most-played single-player PC port, Capcom and Konami reveal Resident Evil Requiem and Silent Hill Remake respectively, the Outer Worlds 2's $80 price point infuriates some, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is somehow coming to PlayStation 4, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! When Colin talks about a hypothetical AAA Mega Man game, what exactly is he envisioning? Why did Microsoft include the PS5 logo so readily during its showcase?

The global economy is in a tumultuous state, inflation has carved away everyone's purchasing power, and prices are almost universally going up. So naturally, PlayStation will follow suit and jack its rates up too, right? Well, no. Instead, they're doing the exact opposite of what seems natural: For their annual, weeks-long Days of Play sales event, Sony has slashed prices on PS5 and PS5 Pro, PSVR2 and DualSense, and even DualSense Edge and the Access controller. Is Sony's boldness in risking economic erosion worth it? Is its strategy simply to put its boot on Xbox's neck once and for all? We discuss. Plus: If all went according to plan, The Order: 1886 would have gotten two sequels, EA cancels its Black Panther project while shutting down the studio behind it, Build A Rocket Boy suggests there may be a paid, organized campaign against its upcoming title MindsEye, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! What does Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's success mean for the future of global JRPGs? Could Star Wars Battlefront be revived on the basis of a recent resurgence in popularity? Is Colin ignoring an obvious connection between Souls games and his beloved Castlevania?

The last couple of weeks for Bungie have been nothing short of catastrophic, calling into question whether their upcoming extraction shooter Marathon has any chance at all in finding market success. We've long discussed whether Sony should have bought Bungie at all (they shouldn't have), but now that they're so deeply invested, how do they get the team out of this mess? And what does all of this hullabaloo -- about stolen art, poorly-reviewed gameplay, and lackluster audience reaction -- say about the team's future, full stop? Meanwhile, things aren't much better north of the border, where Quebec-based Haven recently parted ways with founder and once-famous producer Jade Raymond, who has now left three different teams without any sort of release. Is Fairgame$ DOA? Maybe not, but we have lots of new information on the recent closed test of the game under the moniker Project Hearts, and... well... it's not sounding great. Also: MLB: The Show is seemingly getting a mobile release, PlayStation Stars is going away unceremoniously, Stellar Blade 2 is in active development, Xbox's Hellblade II is coming to PS5, Kojima's Physint is at least five more years away, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Keeping in mind Sony's typical naming conventions, what will PlayStation 6's controller be called? Do we also find delight in Darth Vader's AI voice in Fortnite? Is the PS5 Pro truly worth purchasing before prices likely go up? Has Chris ever seen a ghost?Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.Timestamps:  0:00:00 - Intro00:44:13 - Best man bromance00:46:03 - ghoul-ing01:04:41 - Haven/Jade Raymond reflections01:37:51 - Bungie art theft reflections02:33:15 - MLB: The Show mobile02:38:25 - PlayStation Stars is over02:51:24 - Stellar Blade sequel coming02:56:49 - Kojima's next game is far off03:01:41 - Hellblade 2 is coming to PS503:05:56 - Randy Pitchford on Borderlands 4 pricing03:26:21 - Circana data03:35:21 - New Naughty Dog logo03:37:18 - Doom: The Dark Ages surpasses three million players03:40:44 - What Are We Playing (Doom The Dark Ages, Stardew Valley, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Shovel Knight Dig)04:05:34 - Iconic PlayStation Games04:16:19 - ChatGPT game hints04:19:15 - DualSense 2?4:22:38 - AI Vader in Fortnite04:28:19 - "Editions" releases04:35:04 - Current thoughts on PS5 Pro Learn more about your ad choices.

Grand Theft Auto VI promises to be the biggest video game (and likely entertainment product, full stop) in history. But unfortunately, it's been delayed. It'll come out just over a year from when this episode publishes, and a brand new trailer indicates it'll launch with all of GTA's essential trappings: Cars, guns, insane characters, a crazy story, and -- of course! -- lots and lots of crime. What are our fresh thoughts on GTA6? And do we think it'll make its new May 2026 release date? There's a lot of other news to get to this week, too. For starters, a new PlayStation first party studio has been revealed, though we already sorta knew about them. They're called teamLFG, they've been splintered off from Bungie, and they're making a more lighthearted multiplayer game. Is there cause to be optimistic about this project? Plus: The next Xbox domino falls, as Gears of War will arrive on PlayStation 5 this August, something that was completely unthinkable just a couple of years ago. But what about the other Gears games? And when's Halo coming over, too? Later: Mafia: The Old Country gets a release date, EA indicates Battlefield 6's reveal is imminent, Death Stranding 2 is getting its own DualSense controller, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Are we ever going to get another PlayStation Showcase? With the US threatening tariffs on foreign movies, should we be worried about foreign games suffering a similar fate? Why does Colin fail to see the intrinsic value of the modding community? Is Bradley Ellis slowly-but-surely taking Last Stand over from the inside?Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.Timestamps: 0:00:00 - Intro  0:06:46 - Mumu  0:16:12 - The Man Who Sold the World  0:32:40 - Sacred in space  0:46:20 - Punching Up takeover  0:49:06 - PSN horror story  0:58:14 - GTA VI delayed  1:35:50 - teamLFG  1:55:48 - Gears of War Reloaded coming to PS5  2:26:33 - Xbox games dominated PSN  2:36:36 - Mafia: The Old Country releases August 8th  2:46:24 - Destiny 2 expansion revealed  2:57:38 - EA gets ready for Battlefield  3:04:56 - Death Stranding 2 Dualsense  3:08:23 - Game sales  3:09:58 - What We've Been Playing  3:55:34 - Remaster/remake naming  4:01:45 - PlayStation Showcase  4:08:11 - PS5 identity  4:13:33 - Tariffs on video games  4:20:14 - Live service pricing  4:28:31 - Modding projects   Learn more about your ad choices.

 While the Xbox console brand continues to wane, Microsoft's wise pivot to third party publishing is already paying dividends. According to recent financial reports, Xbox is now PlayStation's single biggest publishing partner, dominating PSN's very own pre-order and pre-load charts on the backs of Forza Horizon 5, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Doom: The Dark Ages, not to mention strong performance across its brands, from Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty to Mojang's Minecraft and beyond. It's weird, to be sure, but predictable, too: These one-time rivals are now intrinsically linked, with both sides benefiting mightily from this new normal. With Halo, Gears, Fable, and virtually everything else Xbox-related no doubt en route to PlayStation 5 as we move forward, how deep and fruitful can this new, unusual relationship become? Plus: Long-in-development China Hero Project darling Lost Soul Aside gets delayed, Borderlands 4 experiences the extremely rare move-up in release date, Electronic Arts lays off hundreds and cancels projects at Respawn, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is it high-time for Sony to explore asymmetrical sticks for its controllers? Does PC gaming represent an existential threat to the console space? Should Sony tap Chinese mega-studio Virtuos to revive its old IP?

It's been an exciting week in the world of PlayStation. On the software front, Team Asobi's Astro Bot has arrived on PS5, and everyone loves it, us included. We gush about it in the What We're Playing section of the show, and encourage all of you to give it a try if you haven't already. Meanwhile, over in hardware territory, the long-lingering PlayStation 5 Pro has been officially revealed for a November release. Some people are excited about the machine (the three of us will each be buying our own for launch), but many others aren't pleased at the high price, the lack of a disc drive, and even what the machine can do. Who's right? It turns out everyone is! Capitalism will sort this whole thing, one way or another... but something tells us PS5 Pro will be just fine. Other news this week includes John Garvin's most recent Days Gone-related Twitter episode, a slight increase in the cost of a new DualSense, a fresh approach for future Destiny 2 content, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Why would a band ever turn down an opportunity to have their music in Grand Theft Auto VI? Could Ubisoft 'go private' and repair its deepening financial woes? How can we justify buying a game at launch when the product is always cheaper and in better shape later on? Are everyone's cats and dogs safe and sound? Learn more about your ad choices.
