Podcasts about Epic Games

Thanks to Epic Games for sponsoring a segment of this episode #EpicPartner Welcome back to the Unvaulted podcast! After a two-year hiatus, host Jeremy "SquatingDog" opens up about his journey into fatherhood and co-founding Jogo Studios, while welcoming back returning guest Chad "MustardPlays" as they dive into Epic Games' groundbreaking State of Unreal announcements. This episode breaks down five major revelations that will reshape Fortnite's creative landscape: AI-driven NPCs through the new Persona Device (including their hands-on experience with the viral Darth Vader AI), revolutionary AI-powered Verse coding tools, the game-changing SceneGraph system for massive world building, enhanced physics systems, and unprecedented IP integrations bringing Star Wars, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Squid Game into the creator ecosystem. Beyond the technical deep-dive, Jeremy and Chad share the incredible milestone of their Jogo Studios map becoming the first creator-made experience to surpass Battle Royale in player count, earning them a spotlight on Epic's main stage. They candidly discuss the challenges and opportunities of AI in gaming, the ethics of technology advancement, and what these tools mean for solo developers competing with major studios. The duo also explores Epic's newly public Fortnite Data API and how access to this information will help creators build better experiences for players. Whether you're a casual Fortnite fan or an aspiring game developer, this episode offers an insider's perspective on the future of interactive entertainment and the evolving metaverse.

Epic Gamesはチート撲滅に徹底した姿勢で臨んでいます。

Robbie is a studio head with one of the most unusual origin stories in the games industry. A former content creator and streamer, he fell in love with Paragon, the ambitious MOBA from Epic Games—so much so that when Epic closed the game in 2018, he refused to let it die. With no prior game development experience and no plans to enter the industry, he founded Omeda Studios and set out to rebuild and evolve the game alongside its passionate community. The result was Predecessor, a fresh take on the MOBA genre. In just a few years, the game has developed a vibrant fanbase, while the studio has transformed from a grassroots effort into a serious player in the industry, proving that a community-driven approach can take on even the giants.Become a My Perfect Console supporter and receive a range of benefits at www.patreon.com/myperfectconsole Hosted on Acast.

I was at MomoCon working with the Momentum 2025 speedrun marathon! I will be back at Summer Games Done Quick 2025 as a host! SAG-AFTRA is now pushing back over Fortnite's use of James Earl Jones' voice to say generative AI voice lines instead of trying to work with existing voice actors who have taken over the Darth Vader character in other games. There are a few games that can't run on the Switch 2, but it's really not as surprising or bad as you think. Then we talk to Rob about how we're going to be at the Southern-Fried Gaming Expo in Atlanta on June 18-20th and also running a panel about overlooked classic games.

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#195: Should You Choose To Accept.... Frankenstein Audio Version *Note Episode Recorded 5-31-25* In this episode of "The Fork In Your Ear," Tim and Nate dive deep into the world of gaming, kicking off with a humorous discussion about technical glitches and browser compatibility before moving onto their personal top 10 most-played games. Tim shares his meticulously tracked list, revealing surprising entries like Final Fantasy XV (a divisive choice he ardently defends, particularly praising its infamous secret dungeon) and Metal Gear Solid V (highlighting its open-world gameplay). He also breaks down his gaming hours across PvE, PvPvE, and PvP genres, revealing a significant lean towards PvE, despite his "Halo guy" persona. Nate, on the other hand, anticipates Destiny 1 as his likely top contender. The hosts lament the lack of comprehensive historical data from older consoles, particularly for classic titles like Halo and StarCraft. The conversation then shifts to recent video game news: Apple Arcade's First Studio Acquisition: Apple Arcade has acquired the two-person team behind Sneaky Sasquatch, marking their first game studio purchase. Tim expresses skepticism about Apple's claim that this isn't the start of a trend, speculating on a potential rebranding or platform launcher for Apple Arcade. Fortnite Returns to iOS: Fortnite is back on Apple devices, with impressive performance and optimization for older iPhones. The hosts praise Epic Games' granular installation options, which allow players to selectively download game components and even other players' skins. Randy Pitchford's $80 Game Comment: Gearbox Studios CEO Randy Pitchford's controversial remarks about game pricing ignite debate. While acknowledging the tone-deafness, Tim and Nate discuss the context of his statements and the evolving pricing models in the gaming industry, with Nate offering his ideal pricing structure for different game types (standalone, with monetization, MMO, PvP). Anti-Cheat in PvP Games: The hosts delve into the persistent problem of cheating in PvP games. As a Rainbow Six Siege player, Tim commends Ubisoft's innovative "Mouse Trap" and "Shield Guard" anti-cheat systems, which actively penalize cheaters with increasingly severe input lag and segregated matchmaking. Nate expresses his desire for other developers to adopt similar robust anti-cheat measures. Palworld's Legal Setback: Palworld lost a US lawsuit against Nintendo regarding specific gameplay mechanics. While the "ball-throwing" mechanic was deemed too similar to Pokémon, the ruling against "gliding with an animal" baffled the hosts, who pointed out its prevalence in other games. They ponder the implications of such legal battles for smaller studios against industry giants.

Laura Martin from Needham explains why she downgraded Apple (AAPL) to Hold from Buy. “There's real risks to their earnings,” she emphasizes, with the Epic Games judgment against them and other DOJ threats. She also discusses OpenAI's burgeoning efforts to “replace smartphones,” partnering with Jony Ive, who used to design all of Apple's phones. Even though Apple has a moat, she says that doesn't prevent demise, only slows it. “This stock doesn't work” without an iPhone cycle this year, she argues.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Guess what, there's another reason to question the existence of the PS5 Pro! The Sony Sate of Play was pretty solid today, and its mainly due to the James Bond game trailer. Microsoft pushes back its handheld plans, Nintendo keeps it close to the vest, and Activision has a blunder. Plus Netflix has its Tudum, Mark Hamill shares his future, and thank god we don't live in the Michael Bay Superman Timeline. Plus my review of Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning.

A Hollywood union is FURIOUS about James Earl Jones' voice for Darth Vader being used in Fortnite, even though he sold it. Why? The union doesn't get a cut and they can't put another actor in for the role. And now they're filing a complaint against Epic Games... who will probably just laugh it off because foul-mouthed Vader has gone viral.

Apple's forced policy shift following the outcome of its legal battle with Epic Games has opened the door for more flexible Direct to Consumer (DTC) strategies, and game studios are taking notice. Host Devin Becker welcomes Chris Faught, CEO of Neon, to break down what this decision means for developers. Chris clarifies the broader implications of the ruling, the mechanics of implementing DTC models, and how this update impacts developers operating across different genres and regions.The conversation explores how studios should be thinking about DTC integration internally, what practical steps to take next, and how these changes might alter monetization strategies moving forward. Chris also offers insight into how webshops can be used to their full potential, what teams are best suited to act quickly, and where the market is headed over the next 12–24 months.

Heute gibt's einen "Braking News"-Podcast von PC Games. Denn vor wenigen Minuten zeigte CD Projekt Red eine spielbare Tech-Demo zu The Witcher 4 auf dem Unreal Fest von Epic Games. Das mehrtägige Event dreht sich um innovative Technologien sowie neue Features und nach dem Wechsel auf die Unreal Engine ist das kommende Hexer-Abenteuer eins der absoluten Aushängeschilder.Moderator Michi Grünwald lädt zu diesem Anlass in Folge 170 des Podcast den Kollegen Philipp Reuther von der PC Games Hardware und Redakteur Matthias Dammes ein. Die beiden durften sich die gezeigten Szenen nämlich schon in der vergangenen Woche ansehen, als ein Teil des Entwicklerteams von CD Projekt Red bei uns zu Besuch war.Wir nehmen die Tech-Demo in der aktuellen Ausgabe sowohl technisch als auch inhaltlich auseinander und gehen auf einige Besonderheiten ein. Obwohl keine echten Gameplay-Ausschnitte zu sehen sind, kann man dennoch ein paar Dinge aus dem 15-minütigen Material herauslesen. Schreibt uns gerne in den Kommentaren, wie ihr zur Unreal Engine steht. Ist sie für euch Fluch oder Segen? Wir wünschen viel Spaß beim Anhören der aktuellen Folge!Der PC Games Podcast - der offizielle Videospielpodcast der PC Games - erscheint seit über einem Jahrzehnt regelmäßig und liefert dabei wöchentlich gleich mehrere Talks zum riesigen Thema Videospiele.Unser Moderationsteam, Michi Grünwald und Vivi Ziermann, deckt dabei etliche Bereiche ab: Review-Gespräche und Previews zu brandaktuellen Games, nostalgische Rückblicke, Reports, Interviews und vieles mehr. Dabei gibt es natürlich auch immer mal wieder spannende Insights in die Spielebranche und in die Redaktion des ältesten, noch aktiven Videospielmagazins Deutschlands - seit 1992 am Start!Unser Spiele-Podcast ist vollkommen kostenlos zugänglich und neben unseren Webseiten auch auf allen großen Podcast-Plattformen - von Apple Music bis hin zu Spotify - zu finden.

The Rushdown crew is back with another week of gaming chaos, and boy, is it a mess. GTA VI just dropped its second trailer, and the internet is already dissecting every frame—will it actually hit that 2025 release date? Meanwhile, Palworld is in legal hell as a lawsuit forces the devs to remove gliding and ball-throwing mechanics (so… is it even Palworld anymore?).Nintendo's latest baffling decision? Switch voice chat now requires a phone number—because nothing says "fun online gaming" like giving Big N your digits. Over at Square Enix, things are dire: they've announced no new games until 2027, meaning we're stuck with Final Fantasy XIV expansions and copium for years.In corporate villainy news:SAG-AFTRA is coming for Epic Games after an AI Darth Vader allegedly screwed over voice actors.Bungie got caught stealing art for Marathon—because nothing says "live-service revival" like a side of plagiarism.And of course, Randy Pitchford opens his mouth AGAIN, because why wouldn't he?Tune in for the drama, deep dives, and dumb takes on another wild week in gaming!

We start off remembering friend of the network Kurt Boutin, who went by "VOByKurt" in our community and on TikTok. Fortnite introduced Darth Vader and utilized an AI trained on James Earl Jones's voice with permission - however this made Vader say some very naughty things. Hideo Kojima wants a game that forgets what it was doing the longer you step away from it as a player. Then we talk to Rob about forgetting things after putting games down, and how to effectively parry in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

In this episode, Sam Korus and Nicholas Grous discuss the recent ruling in the Apple vs. Epic Games lawsuit, which has significant implications for Apple's App Store policies and revenue model. They explore the potential impact on developers and the broader ecosystem, as well as Apple's challenges in the tech landscape, including AI and hardware issues. The conversation also touches on the rise of no-code solutions and how they can disrupt traditional software development.If you know ARK, then you probably know about our long-term research projections, like estimating where we will be 5-10 years from now!
