Nuevo episodio de Rejugando dedicado por completo al Summer Game Fest 2026 y al Xbox Showcase 2026, dos eventos que para Raffa, Mario Rey, Marcos, Eva, José Anya y Graffic han dejado una de las semanas más fuertes del videojuego en muchísimo tiempo. El programa se convierte en un repaso enorme a anuncios, sorpresas, debates y primeras impresiones de una avalancha de juegos que ha dejado cientos de titulares. Uno de los grandes protagonistas del episodio es Resident Evil Verónica, el inesperado regreso de Capcom que abre el Summer Game Fest y que provoca buena parte del debate del programa. Hablamos de la situación actual de Capcom, del legado de Resident Evil Code Veronica, y de cómo la saga sigue viviendo uno de los momentos más fuertes de toda su historia. El Xbox Showcase también deja varios pesos pesados sobre la mesa. Analizamos extensamente Fable y su nuevo material mostrado, el futuro de Gears of War: E-Day, las sensaciones que deja Clockwork Revolution y la conversación alrededor de Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3 y el rumbo actual de Xbox. También hay tiempo para hablar de Game Pass, del cambio de estrategia de Microsoft y de cómo se está construyendo el catálogo para los próximos años. El programa dedica además un bloque importante a Persona 4 Revival, uno de los anuncios más celebrados entre los aficionados al JRPG. Se compara con Persona 3 Reload y con Persona 5, y se debate el momento que vive Atlus tras el éxito de Metaphor: ReFantazio. La locura continúa con nombres enormes apareciendo durante las conferencias y durante los rumores alrededor de ellas: Final Fantasy VII Revelation, la tercera parte del Remake es uno de los platos principales También hay espacio para algunas de las sorpresas que más llaman la atención del equipo como Valor Mortis, comparaciones con Lies of P y Steelrising, el impacto visual de algunas nuevas IP y el enorme número de videojuegos presentes durante el verano. Entre Summer Game Fest y Xbox Showcase el programa transmite una sensación constante: pocos años recientes recuerdan a una concentración tan grande de anuncios, regresos y proyectos capaces de dominar la conversación durante meses. Un episodio de Rejugando para quienes quieran ponerse al día con todo lo importante del Summer Game Fest y Xbox Showcase, descubrir qué juegos han generado más ilusión y escuchar un análisis tranquilo de Resident Evil Verónica, Fable, Persona 4 Revival, Gears of War: E-Day, Final Fantasy VII Remake Parte III, Persona 6 y muchos más. como Resident Evil: Veronica, Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, Persona 6, Fable, Gears of War: E-Day, Halo: Campaign Evolved, Alien: Isolation 2, gen ATLAS, Stranger Than Heaven, Mortal Shell II, Chronicles: Medieval, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, , End of Abyss, Mouse: P.I. for Hire, , Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, ARC Raiders, Dune: Awakening, Chrono Odyssey, Mio: Memories in Orbit, Out of Words, TMNT: The Last Ronin, The Wolf Among Us 2, Star Wars: Zero Company, Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, Control Resonant, God of War: Laufey, Marvel's Wolverine, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, Grounded 2.

We zijn eindelijk weer live! Weliswaar allebei op een ander continent, maar dat houdt ons niet tegen. Maarten deelt wat reisverhalen maar we zijn hier natuurlijk voor de games. Hoe doet het Japan van Forza Horizon 6 het bijvoorbeeld? En waarom is het drie uur durende Mixtape 20 euro waard? En hoe zit het met moeilijkheid bij JRPG's en games in het algemeen?

We're talking about Metaphor: ReFantazio on this month's Currently Playing with guest Shy Fox of the Fix Your Heart or Die Podcast. Fox has been exploring connections between the work of David Lynch and other media for the last few months on his podcast and while Metaphor doesn't really fit that mold, we're happy to chat about it here. Daniel is completely unfamiliar with the Persona/SMT format of this game so we get into the details of how these games work for complete newbies and discover that perhaps Metaphor: ReFantazio is a great place to start if you've always been curious but daunted by the Atlus formula. Later the pair discuss their thoughts on Transistor and Fox challenges Daniel to play Sword of Vermilion on the Sega Genesis.0:00:00 - Welcome to the Show, Shy Fox!0:09:40 - What Are You Playing? - Metaphor: ReFantazio0:42:38 - Backlog Recap - Transistor0:48:23 - Backlog Challenge - Sword of Vermilion0:52:02 - Wrap Up/PlugsCheck out Fix Your Heart or Die Podcast on Spotify, featuring Jonathan Off Road Rules: https://open.spotify.com/show/5stt5kNgqOKhlPs4jh7UoUCheck out Fix Your Heart or Die Podcast Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/c/FixYourHeartPod/postsFollow Fix Your Heart or Die on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/fixyourheartpod.bsky.socialListen to the Fix Your Heart or Die Podcast Original Soundtrack by Daniel (we didn't mention it on the show but the soundtrack will add more songs as the podcast evolves, and it will eventually come to Spotify): https://thesanford.bandcamp.com/album/fix-your-heart-or-die-songs-from-the-podcastDonate to the Crips for Esims for Gaza bundle here: https://itch.io/b/2965/crips-for-esims-for-gaza-bundleFollow the podcast feed on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ttwav.bsky.socialFollow Daniel on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/douibyorthst.bsky.social
