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.

W ósmym odcinku Raportu o Grach RaczejKonsolowo wchodzimy w tryb przetrwania, analizując kondycję branży, która według Johna Romero zalicza właśnie większy dzwon niż w pamiętnym 1983 roku. Rozbijamy na czynniki pierwsze absurdalne budżety gier AAA przekraczające 300 milionów dolarów i sprawdzamy, czy Microsoft pod wodzą nowej CEO, Ashy Sharmy, zdoła uratować wizerunek Xboxa po skasowaniu kampanii „wszystko jest konsolą”. Przyglądamy się też demograficznemu rozdarciu Square Enix: podczas gdy Final Fantasy XVI skutecznie kusi młodzież systemem walki, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth staje się luksusowym domem spokojnej starości dla millenialsów. Nie brakuje też wieści o wielkich powrotach – od maratonu obietnic Bungie, przez japońsko-koreański pakt Shinjiego Mikamiego z twórcami Stellar Blade, aż po fanowskie wskrzeszenie True Crime po dwóch dekadach. Na deser: Nintendo traci patentowy monopol na „rzucanie kulkami”, co może być punktem zwrotnym w wojnie z Palworld. Zapraszamy na konkretne podsumowanie tygodnia, w którym fakty ważą więcej niż marketingowy bełkot!(00:00:00) - START!(00:00:07) - Rozgrzewka

Strap in for another packed episode as Haydn, Steve and Paul dive deep into a week full of gaming, movies, TV and pure pop‑culture chaos.This week, Haydn shares his adventures in Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown, a strategy game where you command the USS Voyager through the Delta Quadrant — complete with branching storylines, resource management, and even the possibility of mutiny if you forget the crew's creature comforts . Paul's been hands‑on with a Spectrum retro release, Final Fantasy XVI, Final Fantasy XIII, Assassin's Creed Unity (4K/60 patch), Resident Evil Requiem, and Darksiders 3, adding yet more titles to his ever‑growing gaming pile .In Movies, TV and Streaming, the team reviews Project Hail Mary, How to Make a Killing, Hamnet, SISU: Road to Revenge, and more — including Haydn's glowing praise for the pacing and emotional punch of Project Hail Mary .Plus: gaming news, charts, new releases, listener questions, and the usual banter that keeps the Pop Culture Gamers community coming back every week.Whether you're here for retro hardware, modern RPGs, sci‑fi strategy, or the latest film and TV recommendations, this episode has something for every geek‑at‑heart.

Final Fantasy XVI is not a perfect game but it has been subjected to quite a bit of nonsense when it comes to fair critique so I decided to list the Top 10 Weakest ones.#finalfantasy #FFXVI #ff16

In our first deep dive into Chapter 10 of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, we give first impressions on FF7R's Cosmo Canyon region -- the visuals, music, fiends -- and of course, the chocobo wrangling and gliding minigame. We also duke out whether Sephiroth makes any sense for casual Final Fantasy players, and Ernest and Jolie go head-to-head on the “Bonds of Trust” FF7R side quest.

Weather and the end of the world. Prepping, Mormonism, working out to by physically perfect.This is our most schizophrenic show yet.Westworld.The Bicameral Mind, consciousness begins in the Iliad.The story is the heart of the universe.Being designed to ignore things that might hurt you.There is no anti-memetics division.Agency laundering.All of science tells you that you're worthless, your actions don't matter, you don't have agency or even exist.Is the church another smokescreen?The scapegoat, who is your Jew?The strawman.The plot of Final Fantasy XVI is exactly what we're talking about here.There is no political solution.Be grateful to the system because you actually want it.Machine Elves and the paranormal, mechanical sounds.Support the showMore Linkswww.MAPSOC.orgFollow Sumo on TwitterAlternate Current RadioMAPSOC back on YouTube Again!Support the Show!Subscribe to the Podcast on GumroadSubscribe to the Podcast on PatreonSubscribe to the Podcast on BuzzsproutSubscribe to the Podcast on SubstackBuy Us a Tibetan Herbal TeaSumo's SubstacksHoly is He Who WrestlesModern Pulp

Hello Adventurers! Wait, is that how it goes for this? Does it even matter? Who knows! So this episode, theoretically a "bonus" episode, is actually a product of two years worth of work. In 2024, over the course of two different panels at MomoCon and KamiCon HAI (RIP), we had panels where we attempted to rank all the mainline Final Fantasies (plus two bonus games). As we had different people on each panel, we of course had two different rankings!  What was a podcast to do? Well, all six of us got together to record One Final (Fantasy) Podcast to determine the final ranking. This is that episode! PS You may notice that we have not indicated if this is an OSMcast! or a Carbuncle Chronicle episode. That's because it's both! Almost all of the OSMcast! side, and all of The Carbuncle Chronicle side are in this, AND it covers Final Fantasy XIV to boot, so it made sense to just call it an episode for both.  OSMnotesWhoo boy! This was a real pain to edit! But Basil also got real extra with the audio and music for the episode this time, so we hope you enjoy the half a year he took at poking and prodding this thing into Listenable Audio™. Anyroad, have some Time Cues:We start the OSMcast!ing – 00:00General Gabbing (Introductions and explaining The Process) – 02:04The Great Final Fantasy Ranking!Part I: Where we talk about all the Final FantasiesFinal Fantasy I - 04:44Final Fantasy II - 10:36Final Fantasy III - 17:06Final Fantasy IV - 21:45Final Fantasy V - 32:13Final Fantasy VI - 35:37Final Fantasy VII - 41:41Final Fantasy VIII - 49:56Final Fantasy IX - 53:49Final Fantasy X - 58:24Bonus Game: Final Fantasy Tactics - 01:05:00Final Fantasy XI - 01:09:05Final Fantasy XII - 01:11:48Bonus Game: Lost Odyssey - 01:15:58Final Fantasy XIII - 01:21:18Final Fantasy XIV - 01:27:30Final Fantasy XV - 01:34:24Final Fantasy XVI - 1:38:10Part II: Where we actually rank said Final FantasiesThe Battle Begins - 01:41:39The Battle Ends - 02:03:09Oh!

We break down its roots as a Mode 7 tech demo, the absence of two-player, and why it still kind of rules despite being brutally unfair.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are down a Kodra this week but assembled a surprisingly long list of topics. First off Bel discusses the return of Commodore and the new product being released. Blaugust is coming up soon, and Bel is not running it this year. Tam shares the tribulations of trying to upgrade a PC right now, and the expense of hardware. Ash is finally back on the Final Fantasy XVI trai,n and it is really good.  Donkey Kong Bananza is pretty great…  but completely unintelligible. BPL or Badger Private League is a thing in Path of Exile and watching people participate is wild.  Guild Wars 2 announced the Visions of Eternity expansion and we talk a bit about the upcoming features.  Finally, Tam dives into a topic about how you get players to actually communicate with each other in games…  and we brainstorm ways to make those interactions happen.   Topics Discussed: Commodore is Back Blaugust is Coming Upgrading a PC Sucks Right Now Final Fantasy 16 Is Great Donkey Kong Bananza BPL in Path of Exile is Wild Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity Communicating With Other Players

It was supposed to be a slow news week, so naturally we talked for almost four hours on the latest in gaming. Heading up our show is a recurrent subject: layoffs at Xbox. Despite Phil's claims about a sustainable business, the cuts keep coming. Of course, that leaves us in a bit of a pickle. What parts of Xbox business are faltering? We're about a year removed from last year where Xbox began shutting down multiple teams, so it's not a far cry to say we may be approaching that point. We haven't seen Game Pass numbers in a hot minute, titles like South Of Midnight and Hellblade 2 have questionable sales at best, and the green team is all but officially confirmed to be out on physical games. So, which is it, if any? We gab quite a bit before leaving it to next week where we'll get official confirmation. Plus, Xbox integrating other PC storefronts into their app, righting the record on Final Fantasy XVI, diving into Lies Of P sales figures, and so much more in what was an unexpectedly meaty (oh!) episode of Defining Duke.

PS This is Awesome: Episode 361Fred is almost finished with Final Fantasy XVI, while Jake just wrapped up Trepang 2! Now he's on the hunt for his next big AAA adventure. If you have suggestions, let him know!In this episode, we're diving into The Future of PlayStation. We reflect on how Sony has shaped the gaming landscape over the years, from introducing 3D graphics and CD-quality sound in 1994 to championing indie developers and story-driven single-player games. We explore key innovations like the DualShock controller, Blu-ray integration, and the rise of online services with the PS4.As for the future, what's next for PlayStation? Cloud gaming is gaining ground, but with live service games faltering, Sony might need to rethink its strategy. Could we see a move toward Early Access, more PC integration, or a resurgence of multiplayer modes in single-player games? Plus, we speculate about which franchises and studios—like Naughty Dog and Uncharted—should lead the charge.In news, the rumored State of Play in February has us wondering what surprises are in store. Meanwhile, Arken Age is out now on PSVR2, earning high praise for its combat despite some story critiques. The Until Dawn movie just dropped its first trailer, and it looks promising! On a bittersweet note, Sony canceled Bluepoint's live-service God of War project and Bend Studio's new title, but both studios remain intact.Finally, PlayStation Blog shared its top 10 platformers available on PS Plus, including classics like Jak and Daxter, Ape Escape, and Celeste.

PS This is Awesome: Episode 360Fred didn't make it back to Metro Awakening—talking about Final Fantasy XVI last week gave him the itch to finally finish it, and now he's almost through. Meanwhile, Jake finally rolled credits on Metaphor: Refantazio! He gave MediEvil a shot, but it didn't really click. However, he picked up Resident Evil 4 Remake, The Messenger, and Trepang 2—so plenty to dive into next.We're also looking at what's coming up, with new releases like Arken Age, DreadOut: Remastered Collection, and Dynasty Warriors Origins dropping this week.In news, a trademark filing hints at a possible Ecco the Dolphin revival—whether that excites or terrifies you depends on how you feel about ‘90s underwater adventures. Meanwhile, PowerWash Simulator VR has been put on hold, which is a bummer for those hoping to deep-clean in first-person. Kojima is getting introspective, reflecting on his future as a creator while Death Stranding 2 enters a crucial development phase. Speaking of delays, Assassin's Creed Shadows is now set for March 2025, but a leaked DLC titled Claws of Awaji suggests Ubisoft has big post-launch plans.Sony is experimenting with “smell tech” for gaming—because apparently, immersion isn't complete until you can sniff the battlefield. More excitingly, Helldivers is getting a movie adaptation, something we speculated on ages ago.

No new games for him this week—but big plans for next year.With 2025 just around the corner, we're setting some New Year's Gaming Resolutions! Fred is determined to finally beat Final Fantasy XVI, be more thorough with his playthroughs, and resist buying games just because they're on sale. He also wants to pick up more games at launch instead of waiting. Meanwhile, Jake wants to make better use of his PSVR2, finish Half-Life: Alyx, and dive into more indie games. He also plans to play Gran Turismo, Vertigo, and Metro Awakening—all in VR—plus Resident Evil 4 Remake for the full horror experience. On top of that, he's challenging himself to try more games without feeling the need to finish every single one.In news, PlayStation Plus Essentials for January have been announced, featuring Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered. Sony is reassuring gamers that home consoles aren't going anywhere, despite industry shifts. Meanwhile, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is still on track for 2025, though Kojima Productions is feeling the effects of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes. PlayStation's focus on live service games is growing, with Helldivers 2 proving to be a big success.It's a new year, new games, and new goals—let's talk about it all!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.

He's still deep into Indiana Jones and the Great Circle—on Game Pass, naturally.This week, we're diving into our PlayStation Wrapped for 2024!

His top games include 90 hours in Darkest Dungeon 2, 39 hours in Helldivers 2, and 34 hours in FFXVI. Jake's list is, well, under wraps for now, but we know his 512 hours of gaming outpaced Fred's 285.Fred's role-playing gaming style saw him snag 263 trophies this year, with A Fine Hound from FFXVI as his first and The Last Confession trophy in DD2 closing out the year. No Platinums for Fred, but 8 Golds aren't too shabby.In the news, CD Projekt Red confirmed that Ciri will take center stage in The Witcher 4, though specifics about platform support remain under wraps.

As well as that there is another remaster in the works and being revealed at the next State of Play set to go live on September 24th. Which may or may not provide a road map for 2025 that may include Bungie's Marathon, third party deals, and again a rumored remaster to boost the allure to the PlayStation 5 Pro ( PS5 Pro ). Square Enix is not happy with Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth financial performance. As they both underperformed commercially. We give our second thoughts for the PS5 Pro. Sony and AMD partner on the next gen PlayStation 6 ( PS6 ) for backwards compatibility functionally. Also to help gain the PSSR technology.

In this engaging episode, we feature a dual conversation with voice actor Christopher York and Ninja. Christopher, known for his roles in Final Fantasy XVI and Baldur's Gate 3, discusses his unexpected audition experiences, journey from being a Tottenham Hotspur fan to a voice actor, and his views on the challenges and joys of the profession. The chat also explores his insights on improvisation, the nuances of voice acting, and broader cultural interests such as wrestling and Star Wars. Additionally, Ninja takes the stage, participating in a challenge to keep only three apps on his phone—WhatsApp, Instagram, and FlashScore. He discusses his struggle with forgoing essential apps like banking or food delivery and shares his passion for long-distance running and computer gaming for relaxation. The episode also highlights both guests' thoughts on balancing professionalism with personal interests and leisure activities. --AFK w/ Ninja is hosted by professional streamer and gamer Tyler "Ninja" Blevins.

Somehow, some way, we've made it to our 300th episode, and we did so without missing a single, solitary week between the first show in 2018 and today. We celebrated our milestone this past weekend with 500 listeners at a sold-out live show in New York City, and we're eager to reflect on what the experience meant to us. But the news marches on, too, albeit somewhat softly, and we'd be loath to ignore it. So let's delve in. The once-leaked Stellar Blade demo is set to be properly released on PSN by the time we publish, Embracer took a $800 million loss in selling Gearbox to Take Two, legendary game dev Shinji Mikami has founded a new team, Sony's Bend Studio seems to be going down the live service route, and more. Listener inquiries help us wrap things up, touching on topics like the golden era of RPGs, Dragon's Dogma 2's microtransaction drama, Nintendo's status as the ultimate gateway drug, and a listener too sick to come to Sacred 300 in NYC.

From this show's perspective, there simply aren't that many rational targets of acquisition in PlayStation's sphere, especially with a tightening economy all around us. But there are two teams in particular -- Helldivers' Arrowhead and Stellar Blade's Shift Up -- that seemed like obvious potential marks based on Sony's historical activity. But with Shift Up about to go public in South Korea and Arrowhead's CEO publicly stating they aren't being courted, are we overestimating these teams' want to join the family? Or maybe it's on Sony? Or perhaps it's something else... So let's discuss. Plus: Ex-second party partner Deviation closes its doors, Embracer continues its sell-off, a trailer leaks for Insomniac's cancelled Spider-Man multiplayer game, Final Fantasy XVI's PC port draws near, and more. Then: What do we think of Sea of Thieves' success in pre-order on PSN? What does a "community manager" do? Are Trophies worth protecting? Did Colin's undying love of Long Island unite two star-crossed listeners?
