Hallo Freunde fürs Extraleben!Mit Ghost of Yotei ist vor kurzem der Nachfolger zu Ghost of Tsushima und der große Playstation First Party-Titel für diesen Herbst erschienen. Wie letzte Woche versprochen, haben wir diese Episode erste Eindrücke, weil zumindest Daniel sich ins ferne Japan begeben hat und ordentlich Gegner mit dem Katana verschleißt. Manuel hat derweil Silent Hill F beendet und das gibt uns Gelegenheit, schlussendlich auch mal über die Story des Spiels zu reden und diese zu bewerten.In den Nachrichten aus der Spielebranche gab keine Hammer, wie in der Episode zuvor. Aber eine Umfrage von Cortana zum Kaufverhalten von Spielern in den USA sorgt bei uns für Staunen und viele Fragen. Des Weiteren: Playstation muss geplante Konzerte in den USA absagen und lässt (vermutlich) mehr Infos zur Technik in der PS6 aus dem Sack, während Ubisoft mal wieder für fragwürdige Schlagzeilen sorgt.Viel Spaß!Dies und das04:14 Ergänzungen/Korrekturen zu den Gamepass-ÄnderungenWas wird denn hier gespielt?23:59 Daniel hat erste Eindrücke zu Mario Galaxy 1 & 247:59 Ein letztes mal: Manuel hat Silent Hill F beendet und wir reden über die Story (Spoiler)1:16:26 Daniel spielt Ghost of YoteiNachrichten aus der Spielebranche1:45:45 Cortana-Umfrage zum Kaufverhalten von Spielern2:00:21 Playstation-Konzerte in Amerika werden abgesagt2:09:29 Playstation und AMD teilen weitere Infos zum „Project Amethyst“2:23:23 Ubisoft kündigt freien dlc für Assassins Creed Mirage an (finanziert durch Saudi-Arabien)…2:31:10 …aber cancelt ein Spiel, das ihnen zu kritisch scheint2:44:21 Marathon kehrt zurück2:50:10 Mina the hollower wird kurzfristig verschoben2:55:38 Claire Obscure: Expedition 33 ist ein großer Verkaufserfolg und bekommt dlcExtrafreunde@social.colognehttps://www.facebook.com/Extrafreundehttps://www.instagram.com/extrafreundeffelpodcast@gmail.comhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGusrYncNi-relSm6YC8k7Q

Yes you read that right Devon bought a Katana, and that fact leads us into a deeper discussion of the Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi games he has already completed this year and how his experience has been with Silk Song both in and out of the game. Then Sejohn talks about his latest stoppage point with Super Mario Odyssey and his excitement at Borderlands 4 being a bit tempered by some of the unending missions he has found himself involved with on the planet Kairos. Next we discuss Disney. From the Indefinite Preemption of Jimmy Kimmel, to the latest full season drop of Futurama on Hulu, before finally the new released to streaming film “Elio” and trying to figure out why that film ended up as such a non-starter for audiences. It's rough, it's raw, we discover our first episode of SNL that we each watched was the same one that featured Christopher Walken as the host deepening our lore, but most importantly this is most certainly an episode of the Say Report and we thank all of you for taking the time to listen.
