Podcasts about PlayStation 4

I had a chance to play through Halo Campaign Evolved ahead of launch on the PS5 and today I'm joined by a couple of others to discuss our thoughts on the game.

Microsoft lawsuit loss, Steam refund controversy, One Piece scalper chaos, PS6 handheld speculation, gaming pickups, and a Popcorn Rocket PS4 review. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:50 Game Pickups and Inflation Deflation Challenge 02:21 Discussion on Popcorn Rocket Game 04:48 Nicktoons Dice of Destiny  08:15 Sky Gunner  10:58 Cold Fear  14:46 Finny the Fish and the Seven Waters 19:56 Dino Stalker and Cruisin Blast  22:49 Ryan's Gaming Week and SGDQ 26:09 Microsoft Lawsuit and Digital Ownership Discussion 30:24 The Future of Digital Ownership 32:12 Scalpers and the Manga Market 36:01 Steam Refunds and Developer Concerns 45:41 Sony's Shift to Digital 54:49 Popcorn Rocket: A New Indie Game Review John and Ryan dive into another week of gaming talk, starting with their recent video game pickups and what's currently on their radar. From new finds to ongoing playthroughs, the duo breaks down what's been keeping their controllers busy. The news segment kicks off with Microsoft's latest legal setback as the company lost a lawsuit in a Brazilian court, raising questions about regional regulation and platform responsibility. They then shift to Steam's refund policies for games under the one‑hour return limit, highlighting a recent developer's experience that sparked debate about fairness, abuse, and consumer protection. Next, the conversation moves to Japan, where scalpers purchased One Piece magazines en masse due to a promotional card — another example of collectible culture colliding with opportunistic reselling. The guys then explore a big speculative question: Is the PS6 going digital‑only because it will be a handheld? They break down rumors, hardware trends, and whether Sony's future might lean toward a hybrid device. To wrap up the episode, the Inflation Deflation Game of the Week features a review of Popcorn Rocket on PS4, as John and Ryan evaluate the quirky title's gameplay, charm, and current market value.

Hip Hop? 7:16 PM@addictedtochaos2​​At least you weren't like my idiot coworker who climbed up the warehouse racking and fell, fracturing his hip. 7:16 PM@eathdemon​​sounds like you should go see a doctor lol 7:16 PM@jaredknisely6213​​$$$$ 7:17 PM@Sheekago​​@addictedtochaos2 please tell that co worker didn't file workman's comp. 7:17 PM@jaredknisely6213​​perks of being at a physical gym and not a home gym 7:17 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I have no idea. 7:18 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Climbing the racking is a big no-no. That is what the forklifts are for. 7:22 PM@eathdemon​​I mean anyone shocked physical media is dying? im not lol 7:22 PM@addictedtochaos2​​PlayStation is still dead to me. 7:22 PM@Sheekago​​@eathdemon shocked? No. Disappointed, yes. 7:24 PM@eathdemon​​hate to be the debi downer here, but the era of mantaining 400 person teams are over. in the future it will be scaling up/down/ outsourcing/contracting. its not economicly rational 7:25 PM@eathdemon​​ 7:25 PM@Sheekago​​***DLC not included 7:25 PM@Sheekago​​****Just give us your money, damn it 7:26 PM@jaredknisely6213​​thats my fav when they ack you to buy something for 100's of $$$ and they cant even give you a copy of the game 7:26 PM@addictedtochaos2​​You either die as Sega or you live long enough to see yourself become PlayStation. 7:26 PM@eathdemon​​tbf they did that b/c embracer gabled up all the support studios 7:27 PM@jaredknisely6213​​its more than that, those studios where give years and a lot of moeny to do something which a good amount like 90 percent of them wasted 7:28 PM@jaredknisely6213​​only the Doom devs did something with those resources 7:28 PM@addictedtochaos2​​PlayStation's downfall began when Jim Ryan was placed in charge, and while he no longer is, we are now seeing the effects. 7:28 PM@Sheekago​​Look at vinyl records. They became niche and now they're making a come back. 7:30 PM@Sheekago​​That's true. It's all about control. Those cars with heated seat "subscriptions". They're trying to get rid of Android or Apple on their cars and create their own OS to lease to us. 7:31 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Their first party games actually sell more physical copies, but it comes down to maximizing profits.

Xbox shot themselves in the foot with the Xbox One reveal and never really recovered. 7:41 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Which lead to Sony dominating the PS4 and PS5 eras and had lead to their arrogance now. 7:42 PM@eathdemon​​thanks for making me feel old lol 7:42 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The game was Genji 7:46 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The first Genji was on PS2 and was quite good. 7:47 PM@eathdemon​​the ps2 and 360 era was heavily contract based 7:48 PM@addictedtochaos2​​If you mean Mr. Caffeine it was the Ubisoft presentation. 7:50 PM@AndrewEisen​​Sorry folks.

I'll give it a few minutes and see if it stops. 7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I can see you moving 7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2​​But no sound 7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Now I can hear you. 7:53 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The Wii U wasn't arrogance, it was more just Nintendo misread the market. 7:57 PM@AndrewEisen​​And here we go again with the damn disconnects. 7:58 PM@eathdemon​​I mean it could be restream getting slammed b/c its the weekend 7:58 PM@jaredknisely6213​​just a thought have you tried obs? 7:59 PM@AndrewEisen​​I'm using OBS. I'm just using restream so that I can stream to both YouTube and Twitch on Sundays. Maybe I need to stream the Sunday night podcast directly to YouTube. 7:59 PM@AndrewEisen​​Saturday night podcast, I mean. 8:00 PM@eathdemon​​I think its possable its just high ussage on restreams end 8:01 PM@AndrewEisen​​It doesn't appear to be my connection so that appears most likely. I've been using Restream for years and only had this problem in the last couple months. 8:02 PM@AndrewEisen​​Okay, well. Long story short. That anime is one joke over and over but I kept laughing at it. I don't know how it's going to maintain an entire series but I guess we'll see. 8:03 PM@jaredknisely6213​​from the internet reading i see its a restream thing 8:03 PM@AndrewEisen​​I'm ending the podcast. Hope to see you all tomorrow for Cold Steel III. 8:03 PM@jaredknisely6213​​would take more than a few mins of reading to see the main issue

Today I'm breaking down some thoughts on the a gaming industry that is in turmoil with Mat Piscatella over at Circana.Mat: https://bsky.app/profile/matpiscatella.bsky.social

Sony is ignoring a massive wave of backlash while Microsoft is getting hit with a ton of cuts within Xbox.Panel:MrMattyPlays: https://www.youtube.com/@MrMattyPlaysRadec: https://www.youtube.com/@realradec Celia: https://x.com/CeliaBeee Playeressence: https://www.youtube.com/@Playeressence Kimerex: https://www.youtube.com/@KimerexProjekt #Sony #Nintendo #Microsoft

Sony is still seeing backlash after their announcement to end physical media in 2028, and tensions are getting higher even for their partners.

This week's episode features Denshattack!, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, Farlands, Welcome to Kowloon, Amanda the Adventurer 3, and Quest Arrest.

From The Batman part II being delayed, to Steam making $11b in 6 months. From the rising tide in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynched, to the lack of IMAX 70mm. Yet that all couldn't save Moana from Te Fiti, you're welcome?

In der 17. Folge von Lausch & Plausch, dem SHOCK2 Hörspiel-Podcast, ist Michael einmal mehr bei Martin zu Gast – und natürlich wird wieder ausgiebig über spannende Stimmen, mysteriöse Geschichten und akustisches Kopfkino geplaudert.

Welcome to episode #282 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with the news that we will finally be getting the long awaited MW4 multiplayer reveal trailer, coming on July 16th. We give our expectations on what questions we will have answered from this reveal, as well as knowing how the COD community will feel about what Infinity Ward shows us. This is coming off of a highly successful launch of the ports of Black Ops 1 and 2 for PS4 and PS5, and the question remains; will these ports end up having more players than MW4 at launch? We share our thoughts on this question, and the problem it may pose if this ends up being the reality. Along with this, we give our predictions for what the fate of these ports will end up being in the coming weeks and months. They most likely will lose their initial playerbase after the nostalgia wears off, and the focus will shift to the new title. There are many who disagree with this prediction, and that's the question we answer today. What are you expecting from this MW4 multiplayer reveal trailer? Do you think it will live up to the hype, or will it fall flat with the fans? What do you think of the BO1 and BO2 ports? Have you been playing them, and what are your thoughts on their longevity in 2026? Will old CODs take over as the main COD, skipping MW4 entirely, or will the nostalgia wear off? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.Join the Discord!https://discord.gg/XjBWUj4KtVFollow us:Twitter: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠Contact us:Business Inquiries: TheCODCasuals@gmail.com

Kevin is joined by Kristen (TheGameDame on Twitch) to talk about Supermassive's first and arguably best “horror movie” game, Until Dawn. This episode covers both the original 2015 PS4 version and the 2024 PS5 remake by Ballistic Moon. They start off by talking about what made this particular game so special when it first released and how it took a niche genre and elevated it. They list off which characters and actors they love, hate, and absolutely love to hate. Then they rank this up against the other Supermassive games like Little Hope and House Of Ashes and recommend which ones you should play or skip. To wrap things up they go through a quick spoiler filled breakdown of the story and both list off which characters had some of the worst deaths in the game. Again, this covers both the original PS4 version and the remake on PS5, and we hope you enjoy this dive back into Until Dawn.

This week's episode features HYPERWIRED, Biomechanical Toy (QUByte Classics), Village of the Curse, The Fissure, In Fair Spirits, and Dustwind: Resistance - Tunnels of Death.

In today's Daily Fix:Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has debuted with a series-high 100,000 concurrent players on Steam. Although reviews have been very good so far, not everyone's happy. Many gamers are shocked at the amount of microtransactions, with some upset that they shelled out extra $$ for digital deluxe edition of what they assumed would be a content complete version of the game. Ubisoft has heard the complaints, but it's unclear if there will be any price adjustments or "make-good" for those who bought the digital deluxe edition. In other news, Call of Duty: Blacks Ops 1 and 2 have officially been ported to the PS4 and PS5, but don't expect a comprehensive remaster. The folks at Digital Foundry have found the games to be lacking in modern technical flourishes like 4K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate (the games are capped at 1080p60). And finally, we end the week with a roundup of the latest game releases.

The gang discusses Xbox layoffs, Sony announcing the end of discs, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, and so much more!

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Psychonauts. We dive into (ha) the lungfish levels and the Milkman Conspiracy and talk about the tension between systems and individually scripted experiences, before turning to user questions. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: To Milkman Issues covered: a special announcement, turkeys everywhere, long digression into weird Spelunky, setting up the Lungfish, hunting down all the collectibles, an underwater bubble and moving around, consistency in levels, coming in with different player options, involving the empathy of the player, the limits of other genres in engaging empathy mechanically, the difficulty of reading the environment, the unfortunate PS4 port from the PS2, avoiding oysters, a direct lineage of creativity, becoming Godzilla, reuse of abilities when you return, every level being a genre, leading the way creatively, parallel to indie film, re-entering the levels and the tongue-in-cheek, going every direction and the costs, relearning rules each level, the cost of testing boundaries due to other mechanics, jumping between gravity spaces, describing the Milkman level, conspiracy mad-libs, being in an environment where you will fail again and again, memorable levels here and elsewhere, zingers of stingers, lines in movies vs lines in games, reinforcing them, a typical day in the life for a game designer, iterating to solve problems, getting people on board and carrying vision, people who show what's going on with the project, building consensus.  Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Spelunky, Andy Nealen, mysterydip, Beyond Good & Evil, Crash Bandicoot, King's Quest, Costume Quest, Headlander, Keeper, Stacking, Trenched/Iron Brigade, Tim Schafer, Daron Stinnett, LucasArts, Community, Velvet Underground, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Psychodyssey, Nintendo, Majora's Mask, Microsoft, Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, Outer Wilds, Portal, Duke Nuke'em, John Carpenter, Them, Roddy Rowdy Piper, Sasha/scarytiger, Jonno, Starfighter, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: Finish the game? Twitch: timlongojr and twinsunscorp YouTube Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com 

This week's episode is all about Mafia: The Old Country and how it starts slow and never quite finds its footing gameplay-wise, but has a strong enough narrative to see it through to the end.

Arrr, ihr Landratten! In diesem SHOCK2 Audio-Review stechen Michael und Florian Scherz in See und nehmen Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced ordentlich unter die Augenklappe. Ist Edward Kenways Piratenabenteuer noch immer ein Schatz oder wurde hier nur ein alter Rumtopf neu etikettiert? Zwischen Seeschlachten, Karibik-Kitsch, Nostalgie und modernem Feinschliff klären die beiden, ob man wieder an Bord gehen sollte – oder lieber im Hafen bleibt. Review: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced https://mag.shock2.info/review-assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced/

Riesenechse, Regen, New York und jede Menge Fisch: Hanns Peter Glock und Michael widmen sich in der sechsten SHOCK2 Filmkiste dem berüchtigten Godzilla von 1998. Außerdem geht es um die überraschend starke Zeichentrickserie und die Videospiele zum Film. Ein nostalgischer Streifzug durch ein höchst umstrittenes Kapitel der Monsterfilmgeschichte.

Join Here:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠ In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz breaks down the major launch and updates for Powerful Pro Baseball 2026-2027 (PowerPro 2026), Konami's latest entry in the long-running baseball franchise. Released June 11, 2026 for PS4 and Nintendo Switch, the game delivers a special 30th anniversary Success mode, brand-new World Baseball Classic (WBC) mode with expanded international teams, and updates across Success, Eikan Nine, Pennant, My Life, and Power Fest. Analytic Dreamz examines the second major patch dropped on June 30, 2026, including the critical Eikan Nine scout bug fix and 10 targeted improvements for that mode, while addressing player reports of new bugs introduced post-update. The discussion also explores the WBC mode's global focus, featuring authentic rosters and surprise inclusions like the Czech Republic national team—where many players hold everyday jobs as firefighters, accountants, and utility workers—alongside strong European representation from the Netherlands and Italy. First-week sales data from Famitsu is reviewed, with PowerPro 2026 moving over 100,000 physical copies on Switch to claim the top spot in Japan. Analytic Dreamz analyzes how this release signals a major shift toward international baseball simulation for the PowerPro series. Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

After a few years away, I finally returned to Resident Evil with Village, a game full of tall ladies, a zombie Santa Claus, and more dolls than anyone could ever want.

Whoa, Shuhei!  We’ve got a lot to talk about.  Stack it up and feel the power of a terrific twosome!  Join Tricky and Matt as they discuss, among other things, 007 First Light, Darksiders Warmastered Edition, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Halo: Campaign Evolved, and Grand Theft Auto VI.  What’s more, we delve into Electronic Arts’ reveal of EA Advertising, a platform to help put ads in your games, and we lament the loss of Xbox studio and Senua’s Saga developer Ninja Theory.  Hellfire!  Drat!  Darn you, Microsoft!  The Ninja Theory team was lauded for its work on Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, DmC, and Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice.  Microsoft must have the Grim Reaper on speed dial. And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming!  As usual, the news is full of surprises.  We hit the high notes, and we hit the low notes, but we’ll always bring the banter.  What are you waiting for? Dive in! As always, the opinions fly fast and heavy! Look out for this super-sized show, as the seemingly smallest conversation veers off into a multiverse of chit-chat. Sounds cool, huh? That’s the fancy way of saying “derailment.” And there’s plenty of that to go around! Let’s dance, Heroes of the XMB! In a bit of big news that would make the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles proud, iHeartRadio, Pandora and Spotify host episodes of Trophy Whores.

PlayStation Network has once again been targeted by nefarious actors, this time exposing flaws in Sony's online infrastructure that we never even considered. If you've noticed weird games popping-up in your recently played list, titles that don't belong in your library, cluttered PSN widgets, and other oddities, you were affected. And while Sony seems to have begun to mend the issue, it feels like they're unable to accept their solemn corporate obligation to protect their customers. Will they ever even publicly admit their problems, nonetheless solve all of them? We discuss. Plus: Other news! Grand Theft Auto VI's pre-orders are imminent, rumors are circulating about a potential delay of PlayStation 6, Housemarque talks about its post-Saros future, Halo: Campaign Evolved's Trophies have been surreally revealed, Mark Hamill is set to appear in Twisted Metal's third season on Peacock, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is PlayStation at risk of losing its hard-earned prestige? Why aren't more at-risk studios sold instead of shuttered? Should Capcom get more credit for their runaway success with RE Engine? Will Dustin ever return to the show, or will Sacred forever move forward as a duo?

It's Monday Reddit Readings on the Reddit On Wiki podcast! This week, Josh, John, and Sean are back for another conversational deep-dive into the wildest relationship drama, massive red flags, and hilarious internet confessions. We're breaking down a major trust violation where a wife gets caught flirting with her coworker, and reacting to a highly controversial post from a new dad whose perception of his wife has completely changed since their baby was born. Plus, we unpack a secret weekly routine, a friendship that's suddenly falling apart, and a deeply toxic situation where a girlfriend crossed a massive line by breaking her partner's PS4. To top it all off, we wrap things up with a classic TIFU from a guy who went a little too far and built an app to track his coworkers. Grab your headphones and let's get into the Reddit drama!
