Highguard was reportedly bankrolled by Tencent, meaning it was never the plucky little indie game it was being portrayed as. And it also could explain why this game no one had ever heard of got the most coveted spot at The Game Awards. Yet the game still crashed and burned spectacularly, and it looks like the site might actually be down. And the devs blame YOU, the gamers, for rejecting it.

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch and Andy Hunter. Just in time for the latest installment of the Real Game Awards, we finish our look back at the first installment of the anti-woke game awards show made by gamers courageous enough to give Stuttering Craig Skistimas money. This time, we wade into the role of Warhammer 40,000 and the Real Game Awards and examine the show's impact (or lack thereof).Topics discussed include: literally betting on a game getting a good review score, imperial cheeseburgers, the complicated meanings of Warhammer 40,000's Imperium of Man, Craig's membership dues come up, and we read a TRGA acceptance speech.For more details on the people who get into Warhammer 40,000 specifically for the fascism, check out:Tim Colwill, “Satire Without Purpose Will Wander In Dark Places,” June 2023, https://timcolwill.com/40K.htmlJordan Carroll, “Welcome to Warhammer 40K's anti-fascist future,” Polygon, October 25, 2022, https://www.polygon.com/23414657/warhammer-40k-anti-fascism-space-marines-capitalism-leagues-of-votann-hate Edwin Evans-Thirlwell, “Why play a fascist?

A developer who worked on Highguard has discussed the "hate" he received after the free-to-play shooter debuted at December's The Game Awards, saying the game, and by extension its team, "turned into a joke from minute one, largely due to false assumptions about a million-dollar ad placement."
Welkom bij een verse aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld die videogames heet. Vandaag schuift Huey bij JJ aan om te discussiëren over een aantal zaken. Bijvoorbeeld over het ontslag van het grootste deel van het personeel van Wildfire Studios. Misschien zegt deze naam je weinig. Maar dat zijn de makers van Highguard. Het lijkt erop dat de game, een dikke twee weken na de release, al stuk is. Ook kijken de twee naar het gerucht dat Nintendo hun online service Nintendo Online gaat versterken met onder andere games van de Nintendo DS en de Wii. Geloven we in dit verhaal? Je krijgt het antwoord op deze vraag in de Gamekings Daily van donderdag 12 februari 2026.Doet Highguard nu ook een Concordje?Op 26 januari lanceerde de game Highguard. Niet bepaald onder een gelukkig gesternte, dankzij een generieke trailer die ingezet werd als uitsmijter tijdens de Game Awards. Na een launch met rond de 100.000 concurrent players, zakte de GaaS al snel naar 4 à 5000 spelers. Dat is bij lange na niet genoeg om een studio als Wildfire draaiende te houden. Twee updates brachten weinig tot geen verandering en dus lijkt de studio eieren voor zijn geld te hebben gekozen en het merendeel van het personeel te hebben ontslagen. Na twee weken... Hebben de heren dat eerder gezien? En wat zegt deze trieste gebeurtenis? We bespreken het in deze video.Peter Molyneux krijgt tranen van de nieuwe FableAndere onderwerpen in deze aflevering zijn de nieuwe oude games die mogelijk naar Nintendo Online komen, de huilbui van Peter Molyneux bij het zien van de trailer van Fable en de mededeling van InSomniac dat Wolverine niet op de PlayStation State of Play van donderdagavond te zien gaat zijn.

This week, Zak and Aaron sit down to discuss yet another curious case of misguided marketing — this time with fewer questionable hats. Highguard, which secured the headlining spot at The Game Awards 2025 thanks to Geoff Keighley's personal fondness for the title, launched last week to overwhelmingly negative reviews on Steam and a rapidly dwindling player count. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Does the game deserve all of this hate, and will it ever be able to overcome it? Please, enjoy.Listen to Beach Girl on SpotifyCheck Out MosscatMarket on Instagram

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch and Andy Hunter. For our first-ever fully in-person recording, we continue our look at The Real Game Awards, the paid game awards show targeted at folks in the anti-woke gaming community. This time around, we tackle their fears over the alleged "uglification" of female characters in video games by looking at the darling of The Real Game Awards: Stellar Blade the 2024 action game by ShiftUp (https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/stellar-blade/).Topics discussed include: who got snubbed for Best Jiggle Physics, the escapades of a former game admin/alleged secret pornographer, how a single Tweet broke the brains of some anti-woke content creators, spray bottle based management strategies, and Pointy PS1 Era Boobs: ready to hit a venue near you!For more details on the Stellar Blade "controversy," see Shaun, "Stellar Blade: The Fake Outrage," https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPsSguYNHpk.For an overview on Leeroy Jenkins, the Wikipedia article is surprisingly detailed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeroy_JenkinsFor more on the "OK" hand gesture as a hate symbol, see: "Okay Hand Gesture," ADL, https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/okay-hand-gesture.For more information on the Pan-European Game Information system, see their website: https://pegi.info/For some insights into Mark "Grummz" Kern's various scandals, check out MLYP's 2-part "Goonernomicon" series from March 30, 2025 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_ftiA5fl38) and May 12, 2025 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y07rhKtBq5w) as well as the works of McDizzle, whom I somehow completely botched their name (apologies) (https://www.youtube.com/@McdizzleGaming).

Un retour en fanfare pour Ben & Aza, avec une sacrée fournée de jeux vidéo passés au crible cette semaine. Highguard, l'annonce surprise des Game Awards qui avait eu du mal à convaincre est dispo et... elle a du mal à convaincre. On essaie d'analyser les raisons de cet échec quasiment certain. On se pose aussi sur l'excellent MIO: Memories in Orbit pour les fans de Metroidvania qui ne sont toujours pas rassasiés, Aza se faufile entre les démons bizarres de I Hate This Place et Ben se frotte au dernier gatcha à la mode: Arknights Endfield sur Playstation 5. Au milieu de tout ça, on termine nos épopées sur Yakuza Kiwami 2 et Octopath Traveler 0, on eu de quoi s'occuper!L'actu jeux vidéo n'est pas en retrait, avec la (nouvelle) restructuration choc d'Ubisoft, et le Direct de Microsoft avec Fable et Forza Horizon 6 en grosses stars. On reste dans l'attente de ce que nous réserve Nintendo et Playstation pour le reste de l'année, mais un Direct semble se profiler pour cette semaine avec son lot de promesses pour la Switch! Bonne écoute à tous, comme toujours la Belle et le Gamer continue de couvrir l'actu de tous les jeux vidéo, de World of Warcraft à Fortnite en passant par Pokemon, en vous parlant des dernières nouveautés jeux vidéo, sur Playstation, Xbox, Switch et PC, tout en vous proposant les dernières critiques, et les rumeurs les plus croustillantes.Tout ça c'est possible grâce au soutien de nos formidables fans via Patreon, et pour les rejoindre, ça se passe par ici.Pour rejoindre la communauté de La Belle et le Gamer et nous soutenir, tous les liens utiles se trouvent à l'adresse suivante, y compris l'invitation pour rejoindre notre serveur Discord, et notre chaîne Twitch: https://linktr.ee/LBELG.

Ubisoft reorganization headlines this episode as the team breaks down major changes at the publisher, growing concerns around PS6 delays, and the rocky launch of Highguard.In this episode of the Day One Patch Podcast, Matt kicks things off with a Video Game Fun Fact on the history of Xbox Live Arcade and how it helped shape modern digital gaming on consoles. From there, the crew breaks down reports suggesting Sony may extend the PS5 lifecycle and delay the PlayStation 6, debating when the market will truly be ready for next-gen hardware and whether rising component costs could slow things down even further.The conversation then turns to Ubisoft's ongoing struggles, including major layoffs, studio closures, canceled projects, and a controversial return-to-office mandate. Finally, the team discusses Highguard's rocky Game Awards reveal, the risks of putting smaller games on massive stages, and whether some launches are better left out of the spotlight. As always, the episode wraps with what everyone's been playing lately.
The FRG Podcast is back for 2026, now that one of its hosts has gotten over his month-long ailment. And in our time-honored tradition, we take the time to review the Game Awards...from 5 years go. Why? To see how that year's nominees and winners held up against time. Did they make a splash and then wash away in obscurity? Or did they remain as staples in video game culture and iconography? We might not be qualified to answer any of that,t but we have no shame.

Highguard está famigerado desde seu anúncio no encerramento do mais recente Game Awards e esta semana ele foi lançado. No geral, ao menos vendo coisas como as análises no Steam, a recepção inicial não foi positiva, mas comentamos aqui da nossa experiência com o jogo que, mesmo que não seja incrível, nos pareceu estar longe de ser o desastre que alguns pintam. Além disso, pela primeira vez temos alguém no podcast que jogou Arc Raiders, que foi outro grande assunto na edição.Participantes:Yoshi OhashiHeitor De PaolaAssuntos abordados:07:00 - Highguard37:00 - Arc Raiders1:10:00 - Novidades do Deadlock1:21:00 - Darkest Dungeon 2Vai comprar jogos na Nuuvem?

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KThe latest Notorious Mass Effect segment from Analytic Dreamz delivers a no-holds-barred postmortem on Highguard, the free-to-play PvP raid shooter from Wildlight Entertainment that launched January 26, 2026, only to implode spectacularly. Featuring ex-Respawn talent including Dusty Welch, Jason McCord, Chad Grenier, and Mohammad Alavi, Highguard promised a fresh take on hero shooters with Warden characters raiding mythical continents across PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the brutal stats: an all-time Steam peak of 97,249 concurrent players cratered to a current 7,339 (-92% drop), with a 24-hour peak of just 19,296. Reviews sit at Mostly Negative (35% positive, 32.98% score from 18,000–21,000+ total), driven by massive empty maps in 3v3 matches, excessive mount downtime, bland hero abilities, poor optimization, crashes, Secure Boot/TPM 2.0 barriers, server instability, and matchmaking woes.The episode examines the fatal factors: oversaturated hero-shooter market (Marvel Rivals holding ~160,000 daily players), genre fatigue, radio-silent marketing post-The Game Awards 2025 world premiere (championed by Geoff Keighley, who faced backlash including calls to retire), and a shadowdrop launch echoing Apex Legends 2019—but without polish or clear identity. Analytic Dreamz covers Wildlight's response, including CEO Dusty Welch admitting trailer missteps and taking responsibility, plus Creative Director Jason McCord defending the silence strategy.Additional context includes near-zero Twitch viewership (~53 current, 5,343 24-hour peak), the Dr Disrespect fake preview controversy, and why this mirrors Concord's retention failure but on a faster timeline. This episode unpacks the launch death spiral, mismanaged hype, and slim revival odds in a fact-heavy, in-depth analysis.Tune in to Analytic Dreamz on Notorious Mass Effect for unfiltered gaming insights—subscribe now for more breakdowns on industry highs, lows, and everything in between.

Ein namhaftes Team, ein prominenter Slot bei den Game Awards und dann der freie Fall: Highguard wird auf Steam gnadenlos zerrissen. Doch wer trägt die Verantwortung für das Review-Debakel? Felix und Magdalena diskutieren im Talk, ob hier ein eigentlich solides Spiel Opfer einer völlig missglückten Marketing-Strategie wurde.

We just got back from Los Angeles after spending several hours hands-on with Highguard, the new free-to-play raid shooter from Wildlight Entertainment, a studio led by developers with deep roots in games like Apex Legends and Titanfall.On paper, it is easy to dismiss Highguard as “another shooter,” especially in a crowded 2026 lineup. But after playing multiple full matches, sitting down with the design and product leads, and seeing how the systems work together, it is clear this game is aiming for something genuinely different.Highguard introduces a new take on competitive shooters through a multi-phase raid structure built around strategy, teamwork, and base defense. Each match flows through gearing up, intercepting the shield breaker, and launching full raids against enemy bases. Wardens are distinct without overpowering gunplay, abilities are additive instead of dominant, and every match feels meaningfully different based on player decisions.We also break down how Highguard approaches live service in a way that feels unusually respectful. The War Chest battle pass is free, there is no pay-to-win, no loot boxes, no RNG storefront pressure, and cosmetic purchases are straightforward and permanent. The team already has a full year of content planned, with new episodes, maps, wardens, and modes rolling out at a steady cadence.We also talk about the Game Awards reveal, the online backlash, and why the current cycle of “is this game dead” discourse does more harm than good to the industry. After hands-on time with Highguard, we believe this is a game that deserves to speak for itself.If you are curious about raid shooters, the future of live service design, or what happens when experienced developers try to rethink the genre instead of chasing trends, this is one you should be watching.About the Show: Spawn On Me spotlights gamers of color and the intersection of games, culture, and community—through interviews, reviews, and real talk about how games affect the world.Follow & Subscribe:YouTube: youtube.com/spawnonmeSpotify: Spawn On MeApple Podcasts: Spawn On MeX/Twitter: @SpawnOnMe, @kahliefadamsInstagram: @spawnonmepodcastTikTok: @spawnonmeBusiness / bookings: spawnonmepodcast@gmail.comSupport The Spawnies (our annual awards show): Learn more, see winners, and rewatch: thespawnies.com (presented by Spawn On Me; culture-forward categories and community-driven celebration).Disclaimers: Opinions are the host's/guests' and do not reflect employers or partners.Go Here To Follow Us on Twitter, snag some merch and subscribe to our podcast!! https://campsite.bio/spawnonme

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KAnalytic Dreamz dives deep into Highguard, the upcoming free-to-play PvP raid shooter from Wildlight Entertainment, founded in 2021 by former Respawn developers behind Apex Legends and Titanfall. Revealed as the closing trailer at The Game Awards 2025 on December 12, 2025, Highguard launches worldwide on January 26, 2026, with servers going live at 10:00 AM PT—no Early Access, full release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Enjoy cross-play and cross-progression from day one.In this segment, Analytic Dreamz breaks down the core gameplay: first-person shooter action as arcane gunslingers called Wardens in a mythical fantasy continent. The loop combines PvP crew battles to secure the Shieldbreaker, followed by intense raid phases to destroy enemy bases, capture territory, and blend futuristic firearms with medieval mounts, character abilities, and partial destructible environments.With only ~6 weeks from reveal to launch, marketing has been minimal—leading to community skepticism, comparisons to Concord's failure, hero shooter fatigue concerns, and questions about live-service longevity. Yet Steam backend activity confirms readiness, and optimism remains around the Respawn veteran team, unique PvP-raid hybrid, and free-to-play model. The year-one roadmap drops post-launch.Tune in as Analytic Dreamz covers release times by region, launch details, distinguishing features, and whether Highguard can stand out in the crowded market.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

It's a light news week, the most noteworthy news being that Rockstar North had a boiler explosion which might lead to yet another Grand Theft Auto 6 delay. And speaking of delays, we ask what's going on with the game Highguard, which was revealed at The Game Awards and is supposed to be releasing at the end of the month but have had no communication from the developers. #gta6 #tga #highguard #bungie #marathon #sony #videogames #allyoucangeek #aycg #podcast
Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch and Andy Hunter. We continue our look at The Real Game Awards, the alternative gaming awards show/business venture of former Screw Attack co-founder Craig "Stuttering Craig" Skistimas. This time around, we take a closer look at their "Worst Game Journalist" category and the moral panic over Sweet Baby Inc., a small, Montreal-based games script doctoring company/possible corrupt shadow organization manipulating all of video games. Topics discussed include: the horrors of body type B, getting mad at games that don't exist, the long legacy of GamerGate, how a former DeVry recruiter turned his obsession over Alyssa Mercante into a lucrative YouTube channel, and Kevin inadvertently stumbles upon the grift.Read Umberto Eco's influential 1995 essay "Ur-Fascism" here: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fascism.For an introduction to KiwiFarms and LOLcows, check out the Behind the Bastards series "A Terrible Story about the Internet": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA6Mrt5OPfE.You should also check out Kristin L.
