W odcinku 205 gadamy o wszystkim co dobre i złe w nowym Switchu, zadajemy sobie pytanie jak blisko uderzenia w ścianę jest rynek AAA i wspominamy zamerzchłe lata kiedy singlowe kampanie w FPSach były dobre i krótkie (był to rok 2016), a także pochylamy się nad ostatnimi gamepassowymi premierami, chociaż znajdzie się też miejsce na zarówno polski jak i ciasno-rycerski akcent.W sekcji VR Simplex odkrywa prawie 10 letnią grę z bohaterem, z którym w pewnym względzie może się utożsamiać, a w kulturce Defan ponownie zabierze Was w podróż po świecie kina wyrywającemu się ramom czasów.Podziękowania dla Defana za okladkę, Perki za montaż, Rudego za rozpiskę.

more bad news on the video game developer front. We take a nostalgic look at some game systems that didn't make the grade. We discuss if genres have any meeting and discuss the latest news out of Nintendos camp. http://www.joystickandmouse.com http://shop.joystickandmouse.com   Show Notes: We try to keep you up with the state of game development and unfortunately the trend of the last couple of years continued this past week. Eidos Montreal and Myst developer Cyan had layoffs this past month. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/eidos-montreal-lays-off-75-staff https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/myst-developer-cyan-worlds-has-laid-off-half-of-its-workforce We've all been there. you run out and buy that shiny new game console and it just falls flat and never goes anywhere. As the proud owner of an Adam computer system back in the day I can relate to this feeling. Well here are a few others that just didn't live up to the hype. https://www.xda-developers.com/video-game-consoles-never-stood-chance/ What's in a genre anyways. Well kataku thinks they are all mixed up and it's our fault. https://kotaku.com/genres-fps-hero-shooter-adventure-rts-action-opinion-1851772168 The Switch 2 looms on the horizon, and in less than a week's time, we'll learn more information about Nintendo's next console. Last week, though, Nintendo hosted a Switch 1-focused Direct, and it felt like a flurry of last-minute announcements for the record-shattering handheld hybrid console ahead of its successor. So here's all the things announced that will be irrelevant later this week. https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-direct-march-2025-everything-announced

“Good speech. Blast him.” Marvel's relatively obscure comic book sci-fi misfits received a huge boost in recognition with their first MCU movie in 2014. Following a sequel and a Telltale series, Square Enix tasked their Eidos Montreal studio with making an action game starring the underdog antiheroes. Leon, Brian, Karl and Leah team up to celebrate the highs and nitpick at the lows of the resulting romp. Along with contributions from the Cane and Rinse community, we also consider the stink that the reception to Marvel's Avengers had left in the air, and how that affected the perception of this rather different experience. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_639.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.

If there's one thing that the Xbox Showcase taught us, it's that Xbox has a lot ready to release soon. Perhaps, even, too many! As Cog aptly puts it, Xbox has an abundance of riches and we're keen on seeing how they spread the wealth. Will Xbox go all in with a line up of Shattered Space, Black Ops 6, Avowed, Indy, and Starfield DLC? It's hard to tell as the team seems to be playing a wait and see approach, but there's no denying the sense of corner finally being turned.

Also, Marc has been playing quite a lot of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, as he traverses through Hawaii with Ichiban and friends exploring the beaches, the Animal Crossing-like Dondoko Island, and battling it out with the Sujimon. Sean unfortunately hasn't been able to play much, but both of them will be able to discuss Persona 3: Reload next week at least.

Meanwhile The Thunderbolts loses several stars, Supergirl is found, Denis Villeneuve has plans for Dune 3.

New Deus Ex Game CANCELED! Maybe That's a GOOD Thing?

An unannounced Deus Ex game has been unceremoniously canceled by Embracer Group. And according to the voice actor of Jensen, it sounds like this game wasn't going to feature the main protagonist anyway. So maybe it's GOOD that it got canceled? ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishGaming.net Additional Context: In the ever-tumultuous universe of gaming, the recent cancellation of an unannounced Deus Ex game by Embracer Group has stirred up the cybernetic community. Embracer Group, grappling with financial turbulence following a failed deal with Savvy Games Group, a Saudi government-funded company, has been on a cost-cutting spree. This has led to layoffs across various studios, including Eidos Montreal, the developers behind the Deus Ex franchise. Unfortunately, 97 developers from Eidos Montreal were laid off as part of this restructuring​​​​. What makes this cancellation intriguing is the hint that the game might not have featured Adam Jensen, the iconic protagonist of the series. Elias Toufexis, the voice actor for Jensen, indicated on Twitter that he had not been contacted for any work on a Deus Ex project in the past two years. This suggests that the now-canceled game likely did not involve Jensen's story​​. While some fans might feel relieved that a non-Jensen Deus Ex game won't see the light of day, it's important to remember the human cost of such cancellations in the gaming industry. The layoffs at Eidos Montreal are a stark reminder of the volatility and challenges faced by game developers. The future of the Deus Ex franchise remains uncertain under the ownership of Embracer Group, especially after this recent development. Fans of the series are left to wonder what could have been and what the future holds for this beloved cyberpunk saga.

In today's Daily Fix:Warner Bros. wants more “always on” games and is prepared to go double down on that feature with their big IP's, including Harry Potter and all the DC stuff they own. It's a little surprising considering their biggest game last year was the single player-focused Hogwarts Legacy. In other news, a new Deus Ex game was apparently in development at Eidos Montreal, but unfortunately that studio is the latest to be hit with this never-ending wave of layoffs, so now that game is cancelled. And finally, we might get more Death Stranding 2 on Wednesday's PlayStation State of Play.

GamesIndustry.biz's James Batchelor and Chris Dring discuss the biggest stories of the past week. First, we discuss the Eidos Montreal layoffs and the cancellation of a new Deus Ex title, as well as the implications for the future of this franchise - and many of the other franchises, such as fan favourite (and Chris favourite) TimeSplitters, whose future depends on the outcome of the Embracer Group restructure. Next, we delve into the changes proposed by Apple to comply with the European Union's Digital Markets App; seemingly opening iOS to third-party app stores, but also introducing new commission fees and complicating the process for mobile developers and publishers who seek to use alternatives to Apple's own systems. Finally, there are the 1,900 layoffs announced across Microsoft's gaming businesses and the potential impact these may have on the various video game sectors in which the company operates.

As we all know, Square Enix recently announced it's plans to sell Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal and much of it's western development studios and IP to Embracer Group. Many assumed that this was due to a mix of Marvel's Avengers underperforming combined with an assumed effort to trim the fat to better prime the remainder of the company to an interested party, with Sony at the forefront of that assumed list. Well, recently it was reported that Square Enix feared that these studios were "cannibalizing" sales from their rest of their studios and that by selling them they could be more efficient with their capital. Could that still mean that Square is looking to sell, or does their renewed interest in doubling down on their very successful Japanese games and developers show that they may be looking to remain independant? We share our thoughts on this, Multiversus' first season pass, Modern Warfare II's beta dates and early access, Marvel's Midnight Sun delaying in what is likely response to God of War: Ragnarok and The Last of Us Part I, Lara Croft's next adventure sounding surprisingly dirty from its vague synopsis and more!

The Embracer Group comes for us all in the end. This time, the European megapublisher is acquiring Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal, and Square Enix Montreal along with their IPs. That includes Tomb Raider and Deus Ex. But while this continues to bolster Embracer's publishing efforts, it leaves Square Enix lighter and perhaps easier to acquire. The rumor, which we cannot confirm, is that Sony wants to grab the Japanese company. But would that leave Nintendo out in the cold? The Nintendogs talk about that and more on this week's episode of the podcast.
