PlayStation 5 has officially turned five, giving us much to reflect upon. Has the console lived up to its potential, left folks disappointed, or fallen somewhere in between? We get into that -- alongside new Sony financials that paint an admittedly rosy picture -- before getting into the meat of our show. Two new Sony-aligned games have been revealed, but they've left many potential players puzzled, as neither offering is actually on PlayStation hardware. For starters, NCSoft's long-rumored Horizon MMO is real. It's called Steel Frontiers and it actually looks really nice. But it's only on PC and mobile. Meanwhile, a new Ratchet & Clank game has also been showcased, an online arena shooter called Ranger Rumble. But it too eschews PS5 and PS4, instead going straight to mobile platforms only. What gives? Why does Sony seem half-in on these off-platform initiatives, all the while neglecting their core audience that could give these respective titles the boost they need? Is it time for them to break old habits and embrace a more cogent multiplatform direction that centers PlayStation first and foremost? Plus: Sony's new 27" gaming monitor has people intrigued, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Spirits is getting another closed test, Elden Ring: Nightreign is receiving some much-needed DLC, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! What do we think of Valve's new Steam Machine PC-console hybrid? In any given game's menus, where should subtitle options be nestled: General, Audio, or Graphics? Does ARC Raiders success potentially benefit Marathon? Is Dustin wielding his power over Brad in unsavory ways?

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch and Andy Hunter. Having learned about Uwe Boll's 2007 adaptation of Postal, we pivot into his attempts to make a film sequel to Running with Scissors' flagship/only game franchise, starting with Uwe's 2013 Kickstarter campaign to finance Postal 2.Topics discussed include: how Veronica Mars inspired Uwe Boll to make more movies, Uwe needs someone to tell him he's great, paying Uwe to work for him, and what movie would you watch with Uwe Boll? Guinevere Turner's account of writing the script for BloodRayne comes from the 2009 documentary Tales from the Script (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1045642/). See also: Ben Gilbert, "Bloodrayne screenwriter explains the perils of working with Uwe Boll," Eurogamer, October 26, 2011, https://www.engadget.com/2011-10-26-bloodrayne-screenwriter-explains-the-perils-of-working-with-uwe.html?guccounter=1.You can check out the Ouya Kickstarter campaign, the indie video game system whose campaign ousted The Veronica Mars Movie Project as the then most successful on the platform, here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-console/.For a clip of Jamie Kennedy at the 2007 E3, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfzThMe7bBM.More info, including show notes and sources at http://scandalousgamespodcast.wordpress.com.

According to Eurogamer, many would argue that one of the greatest wins from the new wave of gaming consoles has been that the majority of titles support 60fps – or even 120fps – representing a game-changing improvement over the last-gen standard 30fps.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment, Analytic Dreamz delves into the phenomenal success of Balatro, a poker-based roguelike deck-building game that has captivated gamers worldwide. As of December 12, 2024, Balatro has sold an impressive 3.5 million units, proving its profitability within hours of release by hitting $1 million in sales in just 8 hours and selling 250,000 copies within its first 72 hours. By August 2024, it reached 2 million sales, further boosted by nominations at The Game Awards 2024, where it won Best Independent Game and was nominated for Game of the Year. Critically acclaimed with universal praise from Metacritic, Balatro has been described by IGN as "ludicrously fun" and by Eurogamer as offering "near-infinite poker possibilities." Its gameplay revolves around 150 unique Joker cards that modify scoring, ensuring deep strategic gameplay without any gambling mechanics. The game's accessibility is notable, designed for those new to poker, with features catering to visual impairments and motion sensitivity. Balatro's platform performance includes initial releases on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox, with a significant mobile expansion in September 2024, where it outperformed Minecraft on iOS sales charts. Analytic Dreamz highlights the game's no-microtransactions policy and successful crossovers with games like Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk 2077. Despite minor controversies like a temporary ratings issue, Balatro has fostered strong community support, contributing to the indie game revolution. Future updates promise to keep the game fresh, underlining its bright future in the gaming industry.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

News is admittedly slow as the industry awaits major announcements at the imminent Game Awards. But a specific interview was recently released that still gives us plenty to discuss. The website Eurogamer sat down with ex-PlayStation executive Shawn Layden for a fascinating chat about the present and future of the console space, and he had tons to say. We spend a lot of time dissecting his thoughts on topics ranging from PlayStation 6 and console agnosticism to Sony publishing on Xbox and perhaps the most important issues of all: The cost to develop increasingly long and expensive games that few people even bother to beat. Other news this week includes the shuttering of Ubisoft's beleaguered shooter XDefiant, the announcement of a blatant ripoff of Guerrilla's Horizon series called Light of Motiram, FromSoft's puzzling claim that it's not working on an Elden Ring sequel, and more. Listener inquiries help us round things out, per usual. Is Sony quietly giving PSVR2 a new push? How can Square Enix still be publishing PS1 games? Will Sony's E3 2013 'game sharing video' truly resonate throughout time? When will the audience learn that -- yes, indeed! -- you should definitely listen to our rock-solid relationship advice?

Thanks to the recent 30th anniversary of the original PlayStation launch, there's been plenty of retrospectives about the system and the era it ushered in.  This week, we dig into Eurogamer's extended interview with Former Sony CEO Shawn Layden.  Layden's tenure at Sony spanned the pre-PlayStation era all the way through the PS4 and he offers some candid thoughts about the state of the industry, development costs, and why he may be the last of the console warriors.  Plus, he floats the concept of triple-A development being akin to building a massive cathedral and now I'm obsessed with the image of a stained-glass Dual Shock.

Interactivity is this medium's entire thing. It's a composite of many other art forms: everything from prose, to sculpture, to television. What it cribs from those things is often its weakest work, but what it does brilliantly and almost singularly is give the audience some control within the experience. All art is interactive on some level, in that the relationship between a creative work, its author, and its enjoyer is always a conversation of sorts. We project our own world view onto motionless hunks of marble. Our own life experiences onto flat planes of pigmented acrylics. Our own cultural conditioning onto Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway. And there's those Choose Your Own Adventure books that give you some sense of a branching narrative and are also rubbish. But games? You may inhabit entire worlds beyond the screen via a proxy. An avatar quite often of our own design. An effective physical presence. Games don't just tell us what Narnia is like: they let us stick a steel toe-capped size twelve through the fucking wardrobe, mate. We all get to be Dorothy, except instead of a nippy wee dug we've got an AK-47 and a bandolier of frag grenades. This medium doesn't need to be better at imparting meaning through narrative than all the places it steals from, because it does something that none of those other things can: freedom to change the script. Whether it's through small, inconsequential choices like whether to shoot a guy in the bonce or the willy, or full-on branching narratives with multiple possible origin stories, middles, and endings, games are more or less what you put into them. Namely, you. But what is the best game that lets you control the narrative? Let's ask our esteemed panel of professional Game Likers from VG247, which is sort of like Eurogamer but communist.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you were lucky enough to have lived through the 7th console generation as a young adult with enough disposable income to buy a couple of games per month, you ate damn well. You probably have countless fond memories of each big new watercooler game that the studios of the day were firing out with alarming regularity, and you had no idea what the hell "games as a service" meant. Bliss. What wasn't blissful, though, was how unreliable the machines were. The Xbox 360 of course was blighted by the Red Ring of Death scandal, a vast and expensive tech design and consumer rights blunder that cost Microsoft billions to put right. The PS3 similarly had the Yellow Light of Death, which wasn't as bad or as widespread as Microsoft's issue, but still affected a lot of people and is pretty much a guaranteed certainty if you're still lucky enough to have a working PS3 Fat: clean that thing religiously and change the thermal paste. Honestly. Do it. It will die eventually whatever you do, but don't tempt fate. Not that the 7th gen was the only era with widespread tech issues. Every generation of games machine has had some kind of common problem, usually caused or exacerbated by excessive heat, and therefore often associated with games that drive the hardware particularly hard. So which of these system-busting games is the best one? Well, that's what we're here to get to the bottom of in this panel show, featuring Jim Trinca as your host, Tom Orry and Sherif Saed as your regular panellists, and Ian Higton from Eurogamer as a Special Guest (he's my favourite, very handsome, doesn't smell usually).

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticNotorious Mass Effect: Hellblade II - A Descent into PsychosisUnveiling the depths of Senua's psycheHellblade captivated gamers with its portrayal of psychosis in a historical fantasy setting. Now, Ninja Theory, under Microsoft's wing, delivers the sequel: Hellblade II.Celtic Warrior's OrdealReprise your role as Senua, the fierce Celtic warrior burdened by her psychosis. Embark on a perilous quest to liberate your kidnapped villagers from the clutches of Vikings. Brace yourself for a harrowing journey that transcends typical action-hero narratives, delving into the darkness of Senua's mind.A Symphony of SufferingHellblade II isn't your average action game. Senua's internal battles with visions, voices, and depression are central to the experience. Expect a blend of exploration, puzzle-solving, and sword-wielding combat woven into a narrative tapestry. Forget complex character development or weapon upgrades – the focus is on Senua's raw struggle. Prepare for repetitive combat sequences punctuated by moments of intense swordplay and environmental puzzles that involve deciphering runes or manipulating surroundings with mystical elements.A Feast for the SensesHellblade II shines in its meticulous portrayal of Senua's psychological state. Witness the torment in her eyes through detailed facial expressions. Immerse yourself in the world through haunting soundscapes and captivating voice acting.Critical Acclaim, Divided OpinionsHellblade II prioritizes a story-driven, psychological experience over adrenaline-pumping action. If you crave narrative depth and emotional resonance, this game is for you. However, be prepared for a relatively short journey (around 6 hours) with a €50/$50 price tag.Reviews are generally positive, commending the game's storytelling, atmosphere, and visuals. Critics highlight the innovative portrayal of mental health, but some find the combat repetitive and the gameplay lacking variety.Here's a glimpse of what reviewers are saying:IGN: Praises action sequences and psychological storytelling, but critiques combat depth.PCMag: Labels it an "interactive arthouse movie" with superb storytelling but shallow combat.GameSpot: Commends visuals and sound design, but finds the story and gameplay shallow.Metacritic: Critic score: 80, User score: 7.4.Polygon appreciates the mental health portrayal but notes repetitive combat.Eurogamer highlights atmospheric storytelling and emotional weight.Game Informer and Destructoid commend the emotional and immersive experience but point out limited gameplay variety.The VerdictHellblade II offers a unique experience that blends psychological depth with a captivating narrative centered on Senua's harrowing journey. While some may find the combat repetitive, the game's emotional resonance and immersive atmosphere are widely praised.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
