We sound the Rami alarm this week to check the health of the industry after a massive week of game announcements from Summer Game Fest! We go over the Nintendo Direct, pick out some games we're excited about go into the history of 1666: Amsterdam. With the extreme slate of new games on the horizon comes news of Microsoft looking to downsize and possibly sell off the XBOX brand and what that means for everyone else. Then for a little bonus discussion Rami goes into more detail from the development of his own game "Australia Did It!" Games this week: The 7th Guest remake, Path of Exile 2, 007 First Light, Gambonaza and more! 0:00 - Intro1:00 - Dog owners3:50 - Beach vacation4:30 - Rami is here13:30 - The Nintendo Direct21:50 - Fable25:20 - Apples34:00 - Rami on SGF36:00 - Guild Wars 339:05 - gen Alpha45:30 - 1666: Amsterdam50:00 - SGF wrap-up1:10:00 - Competing 1:21:40 - The AI discussion1:26:05 - Microsoft ready to chop up XBOX1:59:00 - Monetary systems2:11:10 - Final Fantasy VII Remake director on streaming2:21:00 - Capcom moving away from auteur development2:28:10 - The 7th Guest remake2:31:50 - Path of Exile 22:33:20 - Gothic 1 remake2:34:50 - 007 First Light2:46:40 - Gambonanza2:48:50 - Joining the end of Destiny 22:58:20 - Shoutouts3:02:00 - BONUS: Australia Did ItSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Final Fantasy VII RE-CAST! The FF7 RE-CAST is a podcast dedicated to the Final Fantasy VII Remake universe. It's been a few years since our last episode, which was way back in 2023, prior to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. We're back following the reveal of part 3 of the remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Revelation. The trailers for FF7 Revelation were just shown at Summer Game Fest 2026, and we're here to break it all down for you, as well as catch you all up on what we've been up to the past few years. Spoiler alert - Uchi still hasn't finished the original! Enjoy!
What a week! Our jam-packed episode of Sacred Symbols covers all of the announcements from both Sony's State of Play presentation, as well as Geoff Keighley's Summer Games Fest showcase. And let's just say, there's a ton to get through. State of Play's 25 game roster included a fresh, expanded look at Wolverine, the reveal of Firesprite's long-rumored Until Dawn 2, and the confirmation of a brand new God of War game in the form of Laufey (plus a ton of third-party stuff, including Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Silent Hill: Townfall, Control Resonant, Phantom Blade 0, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and more). Geoff's show went even harder, with a full 53 games displayed, including the culmination of the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga in the form of Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, the always-assumed Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake en route in 2027, two new Cuphead titles, the Stellar Blade sequel Blood Rain, and so on. We have other news this week, too -- MMORPG Horizon: Steel Frontiers has been delayed, California's legislature is going after developers and publishers who delist games, Fable has been delayed until next year, and so on -- but really, the meat of the show is all about these E3-like pressers. Even the questions at the end! So buckle up for one long episode of Sacred Symbols.

This episode kicks off with a Kelly fact that sounds completely fake...
Nuevo programa de Rejugando cargado de actualidad, recuerdos y muchísimo debate alrededor del gran verano del videojuego. En este episodio repasamos junto a Mario Reyes, Marco y Eva todo lo que está dejando la antesala del Summer Game Fest y los eventos de junio, desde el State of Play de PlayStation hasta el Xbox Showcase y el show de Geoff Keighley. Analizamos qué puede aparecer en este “E3 moderno”, hacemos predicciones, soñamos con anuncios imposibles y recordamos algunos de los videojuegos más importantes presentados en las conferencias de junio desde 2015 hasta hoy. El gran protagonista del programa es Dragon Quest XII. Comentamos a fondo el inesperado regreso del juego tras años desaparecido, el reinicio interno del proyecto, el cambio de tono respecto al concepto original, las declaraciones de Yuji Horii y todo lo que deja el nuevo tráiler mostrado por Square Enix. Hablamos del nuevo diseño artístico tras la pérdida de Akira Toriyama, de las conexiones con la saga clásica, de los cambios de nombre y de cómo Final Fantasy XVI podría haber influido en el rumbo creativo del proyecto. Además, repasamos aniversarios históricos como los 40 años de Dragon Quest, los 20 años de Half-Life 2 o el legado de Splatoon y Street Fighter 6. También recordamos anuncios legendarios de antiguos E3 y Summer Game Fest con títulos como Final Fantasy VII Remake, Death Stranding, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077 o Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. En la parte más crítica del programa hablamos del preocupante aumento de precios en la industria: la subida de Steam Deck OLED, el encarecimiento del hardware portátil, la situación de Valve, las dudas alrededor del futuro de las consolas portátiles y cómo cada vez resulta más complicado acceder al videojuego por precio. También repasamos la polémica entre Krafton y los creadores de Subnautica 2, uno de los grandes culebrones recientes de la industria. Y sí, también hay espacio para el hype: hablamos de los rumores más fuertes del verano, posibles regresos como Persona 6, Fable, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Hollow Knight: Silksong o incluso nuevos proyectos de Hideo Kojima y Fumito Ueda. Un episodio muy especial de Rejugando para vivir juntos la previa del gran verano del videojuego, compartir ilusión, analizar la industria sin filtros y prepararnos para una de las semanas más importantes del año para cualquier aficionado a los videojuegos.

O Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet, también muy en la pomada estos días con tráiler inminente. Y aunque no vaya a formar parte del Summer Game Fest, Grand Theft Auto VI empieza a sentirse por todas partes, tanto entre los fans, como los directivos dando entrevistas, como los empleados, que seguramente se encuentren en pleno periodo de "crunch". Y ojo, porque mayo puede ser el mes del tercer tráiler y del arranque de su campaña de marketing. Por otro lado, os hablamos de varios juegos, entre ellos del impresionante 007 First Light y de las últimas informaciones que lo colocan como un juego muy a tener en cuenta y que nos fascinará. También analizamos el adictivo a la par que feo Vampire Crawlers y el original Kiln, la nueva propuesta rompedora -de jarrones- y multijugador de Double Fine.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Daniel Byman, and Ari Tabatabai for an in-depth discussion of the U.S. military operations against Iran, including:“Isn't it Iran-ic.” Trump's decision to join Israel in removing Ayatollah Khamanei reflects a deep reversal by the president, who has spent years criticizing his predecessors' own experiences with regime change and other overseas adventurism. What drove Trump to proceed this time, after stopping short twice in the past year? What can we learn from the way the Trump administration has proceeded? And how far will Trump let things go?“Bibi's Big Adventure.” Regime change in Iran is something Israel and the Arab Gulf states have advocated for frequently in the past. But they had all adopted a more cautious and even conciliatory posture toward Iran in the months before the current offensive, at least in public. How has the region approached this conflict? And what will it do moving forward?“MIGA.” The death of Ayatollah Khamenei is a major shift in Iran, but we don't know where it is going to lead. One concern that people have always had about regime change in Iran is that it will be highly destabilizing, resulting in a failed state in a crucial corner of the Middle East. On the other end, other people have asserted that removing the Ayatollah and his regime will give Iran the opportunity to flourish back into a democracy, or at least something closer to a state that's more stable and free than Iran has been for the last several decades. Between the two is a mass spectrum of possibilities. What does the future hold for Iran in the post-Ayatollah era, if that's the era that we're heading into?In object lessons, Ben is vibe-coding his way through Lawfare's litigation tracker, as well as vibing his way through The Rest is History's four-part series, Revolution in Iran. Dan is war-gaming his way through the attack on Iran with Next War: Iran. Scott is consuming as much Iran content as he can get his hands on with (another) Scott Anderson's “King of Kings,” Roy Mottahedeh's “The Mantle of the Prophet,” Gary Sick's “All Fall Down,” and Dutch documentary “The Birthday,” finally discovered online by Lawfare's own Anna Hickey. And Ari, not to be outdone in Iran content, recommends the graphic novel “Persepolis,” but really is escaping it all with Final Fantasy VII Remake.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

With the chase for AI obliterating affordability in computing-related markets, it should come as no surprise that Sony may be deliberating a delay for PlayStation 6's rollout and release. But recent commentary from a well-connected financial analyst suggests that PS6's purported delay may be more substantial than we thought, perhaps precipitated by more factors than we initially thought. When does the gaming world need the next PlayStation? Could we go potentially several more years on PS5 alone? We discuss. Plus: Chris has played Highguard extensively and has a lot to say, Rockstar may take our advice and forego physical copies of GTAVI at launch to avoid spoilers, Ubisoft unions are agitating for an international strike at the publisher's many offices, MLB: The Show 26 gets its cover athlete and a release date, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Are mini-maps useful or distracting? How do we feel about Final Fantasy VII Remake's new "Streamlined Progression" update? Is New Game+ functionality catering to an older, diminishing audience? Did Dustin enjoy his romantic California getaway with Brad?
