Soken has been interviewed by several news outlets the past few weeks, and we dive into a few of them to learn how Soken's strange mind works. We also discuss the new optional items in FFXIV (with the horrible wings), the Korean outfit name change, and the 2025 Furnishing Design Contest! And in MogMail we (meaning I, Lukile) finally get to talk about 1.0's leves again! We also discuss Hrothgar and Viera heads, and more theorizing about Occult Crescent.

The rumors seemingly appeared out of nowhere but now they're confirmed: We're getting 24-man savage content in FFXIV. We read an interview by PCGamesN where Yoshi-P tells us a tiny bit more about the content as well as savage content in general. We also read through a lot of MogMail - some of the topics include quality of life suggestions, the sightseeing log, and the Interdimensional Key from the MSQ and the potential link to Azem.

Yoshi- P has revealed that he's not a big fan of a character that the FFXIV community loves in a recent interview with PcGamesN. We also discuss the upcoming Rising event, and of course; MogMail. Some of the topics include a potential invasion of Tural, naming conventions, and the Ronkan ruins on the Source. Welcome!

1) VIDEO: https://youtu.be/_I9l261A_fY Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 va sul Game Pass e potrebbe essere un bene e un male allo stesso tempohttps://multiplayer.it/notizie/call-of-duty-black-ops-6-va-sul-game-pass-quindi-il-servizio-non-e-morto-ed-e-sostenibile.htmlSimone Tagliaferri- Il resto sono discorsi che lasciano un po' il tempo che trovano, come quello sul calo delle vendite dei giochi inclusi nel servizio, che non riguardano tanto la sostenibilità dello stesso, ma appunto quella dei giochi stessi. - Non voglio darvi l'idea che sia l'ultima spiaggia del Game Pass, ma sicuramente intorno ai numeri di Call of Duty si giocherà buona parte del suo futuro. 2) VIDEO: https://youtu.be/E67zQjcu8EY Sony posticipa i giochi su PC per spingere nuovi utenti ad acquistare PS5: una strategia vincente?https://multiplayer.it/notizie/sony-posticipa-i-giochi-su-pc-per-spingere-nuovi-utenti-ad-acquistare-ps5-una-strategia-vincente.htmlGiorgio Melani - Sony, da questo punto di vista, ha un approccio piuttosto conservatore, ma i numeri finora sono stati dalla sua parte e una volontà di preservare il regno delle console "ad alte prestazioni" è ben comprensibile. - Hulst: "Stiamo trovando un nuovo pubblico interessato a giocare ai sequel su PlayStation. Speriamo di poter portare nuovi giocatori su PlayStation in generale, ma in particolare su console" - L'apertura al multipiattaforma è vista più come un elemento collaterale alla spinta verso i giochi live service: questi ultimi sono ormai dei prodotti su cui è indispensabile puntare per garantire un certo gettito costante, ma hanno bisogno di community ampie e variegate, - l'uscita dilazionata tende a diluire un po' l'interesse per alcuni giochi e il fatto di dover sostanzialmente mettere in piedi due campagne promozionali, intervallate da alcuni mesi, per il lancio di un singolo gioco, non sembra molto conveniente dal punto di vista economico. 3) VIDEO: https://youtu.be/tWQN8Biloq4 Steam Machine: metà PC, metà console, tutto flop. Ma è un ritorno possibile?https://multiplayer.it/articoli/steam-machine-un-ritorno-possibile.htmlFrancesco Serino - Ci sono invenzioni che irrompono sul mercato acerbe e appaiono molto meno importanti di quello che poi, in futuro, si riveleranno essere. - Uno Steam Deck già si può collegare alla TV e funziona anche con mouse e tastiera, ma se volessimo più potenza? Niente portabilità, parliamo di un oggetto senza schermo o batterie e di un PC equilibrato nelle performance e nelle dimensioni, prodotto in serie quindi più economico, da collegare discretamente alla TV o su un monitor da scrivania; possiamo anche esagerare sognando un pieno supporto agli upscaling più avanzati. - E perché non un PC vero e proprio? Per il prezzo naturalmente, ma anche per le dimensioni, la facilità d'uso, il possibile sistema operativo dedicato come è stato già per Steam Os. E perché chi lavora tutto il giorno al PC, non ne vuole sapere di accenderne un altro la sera. - Chissà come reagirebbero PlayStation e Microsoft, ritirerebbero il supporto a una Steam Machine 2.0 di successo? Per quel che ne sappiamo potrebbero persino esserci degli obblighi contrattuali che impediscono a Valve, per esempio, di entrare in diretta competizione con PlayStation; pena la scomparsa dei giochi Sony da Steam. 4) VIDEO: https://youtu.be/S6yjSmFlQBE Xbox non ha mai avuto così tanti utenti su console, ha detto Phil Spencerhttps://multiplayer.it/notizie/xbox-non-ha-mai-avuto-cosi-tanti-utenti-su-console-ha-detto-phil-spencer.html- "In questo momento abbiamo più utenti Xbox su console di quanti ce ne siano mai stati nella storia di questa piattaforma", ha spiegato Spencer. "Ciò è dovuto all'impatto del Game Pass ed è una cosa a cui presto molta attenzione perché amo questo servizio, ma voglio anche che la gente possa acquistare i giochi."... "Per questo sono andato a guardare anche a cos'è successo alle vendite dei nostri titoli third party, e lì è possibile apprezzare una crescita a doppia cifra ogni anno negli ultimi cinque anni sulle console Xbox." 4b) Xbox ha bisogno di pubblicare giochi su PS5 e Switch per essere sostenibile, per l'ex presidente di Blizzardhttps://multiplayer.it/notizie/xbox-ha-bisogno-pubblicare-giochi-ps5-switch-per-essere-sostenibile-ex-presidente-blizzard.htmlMike Ybarra, l'ex presidente di Blizzard - "Capisco che i fan più accaniti della console Xbox vogliono le esclusive e vogliono che l'hardware Xbox sia predominante. Avendo lavorato io stesso su molte console Xbox, ammetto di aver provato emozioni contrastanti. Adoro Xbox. Ma devi mettere da parte le emozioni e concentrarti sui team, sui giocatori e sugli affari e prendere decisioni difficili. Date le dimensioni attuali di Microsoft Gaming, non è sostenibile non abbracciare tutte le piattaforme. Stanno portando i loro giocatori in questo viaggio - e non è facile. Ma questo è il piano giusto per le i loro team e i loro giocatori. - "Microsoft è brava in questo. Potrebbero realizzare il proprio dispositivo PC, ma a mio avviso sarà costoso. Forse vendere un handheld da 600-800 dollari è una mossa intelligente, ma non lo farei. Troppe distrazioni, costi e rischi. Concentra l'intera organizzazione sui giochi e fai in modo che Game Pass arrivi su PlayStation e altri dispositivi, che, messe da parte le emozioni, è ciò che i giocatori su larga scala alla fine abbracceranno."5) VIDEO: https://youtu.be/XdnNBfeOLAU L'autore di Elden Ring rispetta chi usa le guide, ma i giochi di FromSoftware sono fatti per andare alla ciecahttps://multiplayer.it/notizie/lautore-di-elden-ring-rispetta-chi-usa-le-guide-ma-giochi-di-fromsoftware-sono-fatti-per-andare-cieca.htmlHidetaka Miyazaki, il director di Elden Ring - "Naturalmente i giocatori consulteranno delle guide, e sul web si troveranno moltissime informazioni condivise dalle comunità per accedere a segreti e strategie vincenti." Nonostante questa consapevolezza "non facciamo o pianifichiamo nulla con questo prerequisito. Se non altro, cerchiamo di soddisfare il giocatore che va completamente alla cieca e vuole procedere in modo organico." 6) VIDEO: https://youtu.be/_fcai9n1klw La pazienza salverà i videogiochi, secondo Shawn Laydenhttps://www.spaziogames.it/notizie/la-pazienza-salvera-i-videogiochi-secondo-shawn-layden L'ex-boss di PlayStation, Shawn Layden - «Anche se non ne sono stati davvero spazzati via, non hanno avuto i profitti inattesi che si aspettavano e quindi hanno semplicemente abbandonato questa cosa e hanno optato per IP AAA più consolidate, sequel, imitazioni. [...] Quando porti cose completamente nuove che le persone non hanno mai visto prima, il che può essere fantastico e molto spesso lo è, l'industria editoriale ora non ha la pazienza per coltivare queste cose e sentono di aver bisogno di una grande vittoria rapida e questo è un momento terribile in cui trovarsi nel settore dell'intrattenimento e della creatività.» - Tornando sul tema della pazienza, l'ex-presidente di PlayStation ci tiene ad affermare che funziona e deve essere applicata in vari modi. Le società di giochi devono mostrare pazienza nel coltivare nuove idee, ma anche pazienza nel reagire a ciò che sta accadendo nel mercato. 7) VIDEO: https://youtu.be/ufsh5GHxeNQ Steam, 19 miliardi di dollari spesi per giochi mai avviati (ci siamo dentro anche noi)https://www.tomshw.it/videogioco/steam-utenti-spendono-19-miliardi-di-dollari-in-giochi-mai-utilizzati-2024-06-25Una recente ricerca condotta da PCGamesN in collaborazione con SteamIDFinder ha rivelato quanto considerevole sia il valore dei giochi acquistati ma mai giocati dagli utenti (compresi voi).- Analizzando un campione rappresentativo dei dati disponibili, è stato stimato che il valore totale dei videogiochi acquistati e mai aperti ammonta a circa 1,9 miliardi di dollari, tenendo in considerazione solo il 10% degli account di Steam, ovvero quelli pubblici. - Questo accumulo di giochi digitali non utilizzati, spesso definito come "Pile of Shame" (mucchio della vergogna), è rappresentativo dell'abitudine di molti giocatori di acquistare titoli durante le periodiche offerte di Steam senza poi avere il tempo o l'interesse sufficiente per giocarli.

In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we discussed the infamous PS3 development woes, namely how difficult it was to create PS3 games for developers. This was due to the console's complex Cell Processor, ununified memory, and more. Then in the week's gaming news, we discussed: Nintendo believes that longer game development cycles are inevitable, however, there are ways to keep on top of them. They believe that they've been doing a good job time balancing modern (and complex) game development. It's a well known fact that Steam users purchase a lot of games that they never play - typically due to deep discounts during times like the Steam Summer Sale. It has been roughly calculated by PCGamesN that Steam users have spent $19 billion on games that they've never played. Some believe that modern gaming is the worst era of video games to date, and that the golden age was during the Xbox 360 and PS3 generation. One Metro reader submitted their opinion piece of how they think that the Xbox 360 era was the peak of gaming and how it has gotten worse ever since - we took some of their opinions and discussed them. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has seen some nerfs in its first patch - specifically nerfing the extremely effective perfumes into the ground, as well as taking away an exploit that allowed players to use a spiky shield in such a way that boss fights were extremely easy. We discussed if nerfs like this make sense in a (mostly) PvE game like Elden Ring.

PCGamesN has interview Kate Cwynar about the upcoming FFXIV Expansion Dawntrail, and we read through it and discuss. We also discuss the Xbox version full release date, the new moon mount, and the upcoming Little Ladies' Day and Hatching-Tide event. And of course - we read MogMail: Topics ranging from variant dungeons to ascians and azem's memory. Welcome.

Len is joined by PCGamesN's Ian Boudreau, Fanbyte's Mike Williams, and 3MA Janitor Emeritus Mike Gillis to give a thoughtful post-mortem on the year that was 2022. What were the big ideas? What were our favorite games? What disappointed us?

Check out these Steam Deck Accessories - https://youtu.be/zpKwDu1b7LU Steam Deck news - On today's episode of On Deck we're talking about revisiting TWO AWESOME GAMES, but playing them on the DECK, Valve summed up 2022 with a list of the most played games on Steam. I have a warning to everyone out there, to stick with official sources for steam stuff, and we've got my response to one of the WORST TAKES OF THE YEAR, those stories, plus an upcoming game that might just knock Monster Hunter off my deck. @gamingonlinux Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKZ3k2zutBo @ArekkzGaming Wild Hearts Gameplay - https://youtu.be/D0BVYlJm_sA The Bad Take - https://twitter.com/PCGamesN/status/1607799849818144768?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed

The long-awaited steel and steam macroeconomics simulator from Paradox has finally graced us with its presence, and we've assembled a League of Extraordinary Lady and Gentlemen to discuss it. Len and Jon are joined by Kotaku's Luke Plunkett, PCGamesN's Ian Boudreau, and our good friend from UNC Chapel Hill, Dr. Bret Devereaux to analyze this absolute behemoth of a game from every angle. Hold on tight and keep your arms and legs completely inside the podcast. We're about to leave the station for an epic episode.

Troy and Len are joined by PCGamesN's Ian Boudreau and Fanbyte's Mike Williams to look back on a year that's a bit hard to summarize. Why can't we find a theme to slap on 2021? What were some of the biggest surprises, good and bad? And what were our favorite strategy games in what was, if nothing else, kind of a weird year for them?

This week Rob is joined by Ranged Touch's Cameron Kunzelman and PCGamesN's Ian Boudreau to discuss an unusual World War II military shooter that feels more like a tactics game: Hell Let Loose. Hear the stirring tale of trying to explain how to drive a manual transmission to someone who has only ever been in his 2006 Honda Civic during the middle of a war. Find out which war movie officer Rob would be. And by the end, probably have a pretty good idea of whether or not this would be your thing or not.

If you've ever obsessed over strategy games, but wondered how they could push the envelope in terms of storytelling, this is a talk for you. Ian also shares his experiences as a military journalist, and many an anecdote about the Game Informer intern days are shared.

With new job postings being made by Lucasfilm and Disney to staff up "Lucasfilm Games", questions abound as to just what role Disney intends to have in the future of Star Wars video game production. What is Lucasfilm Games, and what do the job postings have to say about the relationship between Disney and licensees like Electronic Arts? How does an exclusive license to intellectual property (IP) work, when might Disney be able to get out of it, and most importantly, would it even want to? What is brand management, and why do the job descriptions for the positions at Lucasfilm Games suggest a more robust licensor/licensee relationship rather than the opposite? And what does it all mean for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and the rest of the Lucasfilm portfolio?

In our second-longest ever, Mark explains the difference between an API and an SDK (and why it's important to know), Martha got her phone mugged and lost all her mobile game saves, and Stephen leads a discussion about designing for difficulty in your games (but mainly as an excuse to talk about fighting games again).All this, plus your nice hosts celebrate 30 episodes, and Mark doesn't edit out something Martha asks him to, but only because Martha was the one who edited this episode.

Hear the sound of metal clashing on metal? That's Fraser and Steve fighting over their opinions of Nosgoth? Where’s Tim this week? We don’t know but Jules has taken his place. Mutiny? Maybe. Yes, this week we return to the recording studio (our respective bedrooms) and hash out our opinions on racing, sims, and VR treadmills.

Back by the demands of the unpopular, here is episode 4. We take things on a serious bent this week and discuss Goat Simulator, compare Kerbal Space Program to Sandra Bullock's pants in Gravity, and whether the Alien in Creative Assembly's horror game is too cheerful. On top of all that Julian adds a little history by stealing the audio from the walking tour he went to in Warsaw. We're nothing if not educational (this week's lesson: steal all the things).

In episode three we decided to break from the tradition established in the first two episodes and introduce technical difficulties. It's very avant garde of us. As such, we've skipped the first 15 minutes and jump right in on fancy news story number three. This week we talk about Nvidia's GTX Titan Z (a $3,000 graphics card!), the games Rob played at GDC - both the good and the terribly bad - and what we've been playing around the office. Enjoy!
