Op je beeldscherm prijkt een verse aflevering van onze dagelijkse vodcast Gamekings Daily. Elke doordeweekse dag bespreken we in deze podcast en video het laatste nieuws binnen de videogames wereld. In pak-hem-beet 20 minuten gaan Boris en JJ je dit keer helemaal bijpraten. Het hoofdonderwerp van vandaag behelst het gerucht dat Rockstar nog dit jaar de remaster van GTA 4 wil droppen. Daar is nu immers ruimte voor omdat GTA 6 is doorgeschoven naar 26 mei 2026. Tenminste, als die game dan uitkomt. De twee wegen ook het gerucht dat het derde deel uit de Horizon-serie voor 2027 op de planning staat. Daarvoor moet nog wel de online Horizon game uitkomen. Deze twee onderwerpen en meer zie en hoor je in de GK Daily van woensdag 14 mei 2025.'Rockstar wil de GTA 4 remaster nog dit jaar droppen'GK Daily is er maandag, dinsdag, woensdag en donderdag. Op de vijfde werkdag hebben we zoals altijd EvdWL, de uitgebreide podcast over alle ontwikkelingen gedurende die week. In deze editie praten Boris en JJ zoals gezegd over de geruchten die de rondte doen over de remaster van GTA 4 (en Max Payne 3). Nu er in 2025 ruimte is door het uitstel van GTA 6, kan Rockstar deze game daar inplannen. Geloven de twee er in en willen ze die game nog een keer gaan spelen? Opgepoetst en al voor de PS5 en de Xbox Series S en X.Horizon 3 moet in 2027 gaan uitkomenIn het tweede onderwerp praten de twee over de games waar Guerrilla Games mee bezig is. Dan hebben we het over Horizon 3 en de Horizon MMO.  Aan de eerste werken ze zelf en het tweede spel is uitbesteed aan NCSoft. Een insider komt nu met launchwindows voor beide games. Wat zijn die periodes en hoe staan de twee tegenover de twee versies van de bekende Nederlandse franchise.

Phil Spencer also did a few podcast interviews in which he both cemented and reiterated the direction of Xbox going forward, could this "everything is an Xbox" actually end up working out for the brand? And is there anything left to innovate on a console that could make the next Xbox worth purchasing? Plus, the Horizon MMO game is rumored to be canceled by NCSoft, Ted Price retires after 30 years at Insomniac Games and is replaced by three CEOs, Ubisoft has some big layoffs, Marc has impressions on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC, and much more on this big news edition of Video Games 2 the MAX!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/YWMR5K8SkPoListen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

Samt analyse og reaktion af Nintendo Switch 2! Sony har ikke bare droppet udvikleren bag Days Gone's næste spil, de har også droppet et nyt God of War "game as a service"-spil. Hvis det ikke var nok, så er det også lige kommet frem, at Sonys Horizon MMO, der blev lavet af Guild Wars-udvikleren NCSoft, også er droppet. Vi er altså oppe på, at hele 11 PlayStation-eksklusive first-party-titler er droppet. Hvad betyder det for denne konsolgeneration, og kan det overhovedet få konsekvenser for Sony? Vi snakker om det og meget mere senere i episoden. Vi snakker selvfølgelig også om Nintendo Switch 2, som nu endelig er blevet officielt annonceret. Men er vi hyped, og hvilke spil tror vi, konsollen bliver udgivet med? I denne episode diskuterer vi blandt andet: - Spilprisen 2025: De nominerede er afsløret! - Nintendo Switch 2 er officielt annonceret - Første eksklusive spil til Switch 2 annonceret - Ikke alle spil kan køre på Switch 2 - Hollow Knight: Silksong lever - PlayStation dropper to store live-service-spil - Horizon MMO er angiveligt droppet - Tidligere PlayStation-chef havde ikke satset på live-service - Derfor er der ikke kommet et Bloodborne Remaster endnu - Industrien håber på, at GTA 6 vil koste 100 dollars - Der sælges angiveligt flere PC'er end konsoller - Mangel på Xbox-konsoller rammer nu også Vesten! - Ny amerikansk lovgivning sætter en kæp i hjulet for Marvel Snap Og meget, meget mere. I denne episode deltager Felix Sanchez, Mark Elsberg, Daniel Møgelhøj, Nicolaj Jyde og Morten Urup. Tusind tak, fordi du lytter med.

Sony-owned Insomniac Games suffered a major hack in late 2023, and seemingly infinite leaks made their way to various corners of the internet mere days after we went away for break. We're not going to shy away from the subject matter -- the news is the news, after all -- but we do want to talk about the situation holistically. Yes, Insomniac is a money-printing machine, but it's also now almost completely indentured to a licensor to keep the supply of cash flowing, and may be unable to stop if it wants to survive. Meanwhile, many of our peers and competitors shied away from covering the topic at all, in perhaps one of the rarest and most pristine examples of media bias seen in recent memory. Let's delve into all of it, shall we? Since we haven't recorded in some time, there's obviously other news to get through as well, including a new sales milestone for PS5, tantalizing details about NCSoft's mysterious Horizon MMO, the quiet return of CoD veteran Jason Blundell to the PlayStation fold, the closure of a key PSVR second party partner, and more. Listener inquiries help us round things out, touching on topics like NCAA Football's return, PS5 Pro's potential, GTAVI's potential price, and an admission that -- yes, indeed -- sleeping without underwear but in a t-shirt is the optimal way for one to rest.

Follow the Panel @FanTheDeck @ThePhawx @NerdNest The MSI Claw handheld uses an Intel APU, which may have power consumption and driver issues compared to other handheld devices. The hosts express skepticism about the performance and battery life of the MSI Claw handheld. The price of the MSI Claw handheld will play a significant role in its success, but it may struggle to compete with other established handheld devices. Personal preference and familiarity with Steam input may influence the decision to purchase the MSI Claw handheld. Console amenities, such as extended battery life, are important factors for handheld PC gamers. The concept of a gaming phone with built-in controls and a larger battery is appealing to some gamers. Power and efficiency are crucial in PC gaming, and there is a need for more efficient chips and optimization. Subscription services for indie games can help highlight and support smaller developers. The number of games on Steam is overwhelming, making it challenging to discover hidden gems. NCSoft's decision to license a fan project for City of Heroes shows a positive approach to game preservation and community support. Cannibalization of game sales may not be a significant concern given the vast number of games available in the industry. The snapshot feature in Prince of Persia helps players navigate metroidvania-style games more efficiently by marking areas of interest on the mini-map. Prioritizing performance over visual quality in games can lead to a more enjoyable gaming experience. Lengthy tutorials in games can be a turn-off for players and may discourage them from continuing to play. The hosts express their gratitude to their patrons for their support.

Although the game releases are winding down for the year, Video Games 2 the MAX is still going strong, as Sean and Marc have plenty to talk about on this episode. Microsoft CFO Tim Stuart caused a stir during an interview by mentioning that they want Xbox games on any screen where gaming exists, even if it means Nintendo and PlayStation. Should Xbox gamers be concerned? Or is this just more information on the strategy that MS has been promoting for years now? Could there be a world where Xbox goes third-party and leaves consoles behind entirely? Also, the Game Awards go down on Thursday night and since this is the final show before the big extravaganza, the guys give their predictions on who will win in all of the big categories. As well as some announcements they'd like to see on the show. Plus, PC Gaming Show had their Most Wanted showcase, Dragon's Dogma 2 got a release date and more information. Not to mention, it being Capcom's first $70 game. Capcom also confirmed more Resident Evil remakes are on the way, the first Grand Theft Auto VI trailer has a release date, and more!

We really hope you like the Horizon series, because a new rumor from a reliably-placed source indicates that much, much more of it is coming. There are purportedly five Horizon projects in the works: Call of the Mountain on PSVR2, some sort of Zero Dawn remake for PS5, the inevitable third game in the core trilogy, a Netflix series, and now an MMORPG from South Korean firm NCSoft. Meanwhile, a journalist attempts to race-bait Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida, and Naughty Dog hires the renowned creator of Fortnite's monetization system. But this episode's doomish vibe really begins with Doom itself, since renowned franchise composer Mick Gordon nukes id Software from space in a sprawling, 14,000 word document chock-full of receipts. In addition to other news, we round out our show with questions, comments, concerns, thoughts, and ideas, as we always do. Topics this week include a revitalized Sonic the Hedgehog, the potential of PlayStation Stars, the disparity in pricing between physical and digital software, and a rant about "with no ice," which is how all soft drinks should rightly be ordered.
