Read transcriptGather around power-level enthusiasts and tournament fighters, because this week on Play Comics we're charging up our ki and diving headfirst into the legendary slugfest that is Dragon Ball Z: Budokai for PS2 and GameCube. That's right, we're looking at the 2002 fighting game that asked the burning question “What if we took the first three arcs of Dragon Ball Z and squeezed them into a button-mashing experience that makes even the most patient Z-Fighter want to go Super Saiyan with frustration?” Developed by Dimps and published by Infogrames (back when they still existed and weren't just a nostalgic memory floating in gaming's hyperbolic time chamber), this cel-shaded beatdown promised to let players experience everything from Raditz's surprise family reunion to Cell's perfectionist power trip. What it delivered was a fighting system so basic that even Yamcha could probably figure it out, paired with enough beam struggles to make your thumbs file for workers' compensation. Joining us for this Saiyan-sized discussion is the one and only Doc Issues from Capes on the Couch, because when you need someone to analyze the psychological implications of repeatedly punching people until they explode into light particles you call a professional. Together we'll explore how this game managed to compress roughly 100 episodes of screaming, power-ups, and “next time on Dragon Ball Z” frustrating end caps into a tournament format that somehow made sense. So grab your orange gi, practice your best Kamehameha stance, and prepare for an episode that's over 9000 times more entertaining than waiting five episodes for Goku to finish charging his spirit bomb. Will this manga-to-game adaptation achieve its final form? Or will it get sent to Other World faster than you can say “Kakarot”? Time to find out if this Z-Fighter deserves a senzu bean or a one-way ticket to Snake Way! Learn such things as: What happens when you try to balance Goku's overwhelming power level against characters who can barely survive a Saibaman encounter? Is there a psychological explanation for why watching grown men scream for five minutes while powering up never gets old? What's the secret to making players care about story mode when everyone already knows Goku's going to win everything anyway? And so much more! You can find Doc @CapesOnTheCouch on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and of course the Capes on the Couch website.

The guys are live from Recess Beer Garden for today's Football Friday. In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil breakdown the Broncos and Eagles game this upcoming weekend. Would a win in Philidelphia be the signature win Bo Nix and Sean Payton have been looking for? Will the Broncos be a more "believable" team this season and be able to win a game vs a playoff team? We hear from Sean Payton and his thoughts on the Eagles ability to win close games. What is Evan Engram's role? Who needs to be the wide receiver number two for the Broncos? Zach explains why he thinks it's time for the Broncos to get Pat Bryant more involved. How will PS2 and Riley Moss match up with the Eagles top two wide receivers? We wrap up the show with Zach and Phil's predictions for the Broncos, Colorado Buffaloes, and Colorado State Rams. 

[School of Everything Else 2025] This is a follow-up to our 2021 episode on the legendary 1998 original PS1 Metal Gear Solid. This time I have brought in Willow to explore the two major PS2 instalments. We begin with what feels like creator Hideo Kojima answering the impossible question as to how to improve upon his first masterpiece (which goes so far beyond the two MSX games as to leave them feeling like prototypes) by trolling the fanboys who wanted a power fantasy. In the most audacious bait-and-switch of all time, our grizzled hero Solid Snake is snatched away from our control, and instead we are slid into the skin-tight bodysuit of blonde-haired rookie, Raiden. What follows is metatextual in the extreme, frequently absurd, occasionally groan-inducing and at times frighteningly prescient. Then we go back in time to the mid-1960s with Snake Eater; an epic Cold War crawl through the Russian jungle. This entry in the series houses one of the most memorable and tragic antagonists in video gaming history, coupled with one of the most powerful conclusions. This one, with its overly complex camouflage, foraging and first-aid most definitely warranted its recent Delta remake. In my playthrough the mechanics effected the story in a way that even meta-minded Kojima could not have intended. (NOTE: These were originally released as barebones, raw footage After School Club episodes. This presentation involved an editorial overhaul with music and game clips finally in place.) Next Week: Django Unchained

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil wrap up their conversation on Nik Bonitto potentially breaking Von Miller's single season sack record for the Broncos. We take a deep dive into Bo Nix after the Broncos blowout win over the Bengals. How would the guys grade Nix's performance? We hear from Sean Payton and his thoughts on Nix and converting third downs. How important were Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims to the Broncos offensive success? Today's "Three Count" includes the numbers behind the Jamar Chase and PS2 matchup, reports that Deion Sanders interviewed for the Arkansas job a few years ago, and Tyreek Hill dislocating his knee in gruesome fashion last night. We hear from Bo Nix after his stellar performance last night. Will last night serve as a confidence builder for Nix moving forward? 

The Drive is live on the road at Mile High Station. In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil debate which three Broncos are under the most pressure tonight. How will Bo Nix preform with the potential rain and storms coming to Denver? Will Riley Moss bounce back after his poor performance last year against the Bengals? Will tonight be the night we see Evan Engram fulfill his role as Sean Payton's "Joker"? We examine many of the Broncos offensive players' over/under props for tonight's game. Will JK Dobbins get a bulk of the running back carries like we saw in weeks one and two? Who will win the heavyweight battle between Jamar Chase and Patrick Surtain? Will we see PS2 shadow Chase throughout the entire game tonight? We hear from Jamar Chase and his thoughts on his previous matchups with Surtain.

The Drive is live on the road at Mile High Station. In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil discuss what the keys to victory are for the Broncos tonight as they host the Bengals on Monday night football. Will the Broncos put together a game with no turnovers and less penalties than we've seen in the first three games? Who will win the heavyweight battle between Jamar Chase and Patrick Surtain? Will we see PS2 shadow Chase throughout the entire game tonight? What are the expectations for Bo Nix tonight? Will JK Dobbins be the first 100 yard rusher for the Broncos in a long time? Today's "Three Count" features if Jay Norvell is on the hot seat after CSU's loss to Washington State, Russell Wilson getting benched in New York leading to Jaxon Dart leading the Giants to their first win, and Bad Bunny being announced as the Super Bowl LX halftime show. We recap the wild weekend in college and NFL football and what we learned. 

In this video, our father, Dr. Kay Ijisesan teaches that humility is key to walking in divine purpose. He stresses that some people are placed in your grace space, and it takes both humility and alignment to tap into what God has prepared through them.There are times when you must cut off distractions and pull away from obsessions. He further indicated that there is a purpose over your life, and you cannot afford to blow it.To fully step into that purpose, you need to build the capacity of faithfulness. Faithfulness enlarges your capacity so that God can entrust you with more.This is a season of favour, but it is not favour without meaning. It is favour with a purpose.As 2 Corinthians 5:21 declares, we are ambassadors of Christ. Your purpose is always bigger than your personal existence.Dr. Kay concludes the preaching by indicating that humility opens the door, faithfulness sustains the journey, and alignment positions you for divine purpose.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

Read transcriptHoly hybridized heroes and gamma-powered game adaptations, comic crusaders! This week on Play Comics, we're diving beak-first into the pixelated pandemonium that is Disney's PK: Out of the Shadows for PS2 and GameCube – because apparently someone thought the best way to honor The New Papernick Adventures (or The Duck Avenger for us North American folks) was to trap Donald Duck's superheroic alter ego in a 3D action-adventure that makes even the most patient gamers quack under pressure. Released in 2002 by Ubisoft Casablanca, this cel-shaded space opera promised to let players wield PK's X-Transformer gadgetry while battling the dastardly Evronians in their quest for galactic domination. What it actually delivered was a gaming experience that had all the depth of a Duckburg puddle and combat mechanics so repetitive that even One, PK's AI companion, probably wished he could compute his way out of this digital disaster. Joining us for this intergalactic expedition into mediocrity is Esh Johansen from the YouTube channel Fiction Addiction – a man who's already subjected himself to this very game and lived to tell the tale with his signature blend of wit and existential gaming dread. Together, we'll explore how this comic book adaptation managed to take one of Disney Italy's most innovative sci-fi superhero series and transform it into a linear platformer that makes rescuing scientists feel like actual work. So grab your cape and prepare for an episode that's infinitely more entertaining than grinding through the same alien duck enemies for hours on end – which, let's be honest, isn't exactly setting the bar at Ducklair Tower heights. Will this Evronians-versus-earthlings adventure redeem itself through sheer nostalgic charm, or will it vanish into the shadows faster than Donald's secret identity? Tune in to discover if this galactic game deserves a place in the Hall of Heroes… or should be banished to the Phantom Zone alongside Superman's worst enemies! Learn such things as: What else can Donald Duck get himself into? Did the developers even get to see the comics before working on this one? How many people are going to come ask me about doing other Disney Duck related games now? And so much more! You can find Esh on YouTube @FictionAddiction.

This is the ideal. With every Second Runs episode, I hope to find out I not only still love the game I'm playing, but that I love it even more. That was the case with Sleeping Dogs. I remembered liking it a lot the first time I played it, but I adored it the second time. I adored it so much, I made it one of the rare games I 100%-ed, completing every aspect of the game, DLC included. Not only that, but I think I might do it a second time with the original release (which is truly insane if I do it). Long story short, Sleeping Dogs is a fantastic game, one well worth playing if you've never played it before.

Read transcriptHoly Gallic mayhem, comic crusaders! This week on Play Comics, we're trading our Roman shields for DualShock controllers as we dive headfirst into the digital disaster that is Asterix & Obelix Kick Buttix for PS2 and Xbox – because apparently someone at Étranges Libellules thought the best way to honor René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo's beloved comic masterpiece was to trap our favorite mustachioed warriors in a 3D brawler with combat mechanics more repetitive than Obelix's “These Romans are crazy!” catchphrase. Released in 2003 as Asterix & Obelix XXL in Europe before getting the wonderfully ridiculous “Kick Buttix” rebrand for American audiences, this licensed adventure promised players the chance to experience authentic Gallic village life while punching approximately 70 Romans per level across 40 different stages of cartoon chaos. What it actually delivered was a gaming experience so mindlessly button-mashy that even Caesar would file a complaint with customer service about the repetitive gameplay loop. Joining us for this Roman-bashing bonanza is the incomparable Chas! Pangburn – a man who when he's not busy lettering the actual Asterix comics from the depths of his creative dungeon, brings his insider knowledge of what makes these characters tick both on the page and in polygonal form. His expertise in both the source material and the art of comic creation makes him the perfect guide through this particular journey from panel to PlayStation. So grab your magic potion and prepare for an episode that's more entertaining than actually grinding through the same three enemy types for hours on end – which, let's face it, isn't exactly setting the bar at Vercingétorix levels. Will this portable Gallic adventure redeem itself through sheer nostalgic charm and cartoon physics, or will it crash harder than a Roman chariot race gone wrong? Tune in to discover if this comic adaptation belongs in the Hall of Fame… or should be buried deeper than one of those references that you'll only catch if you read this in French! Learn such things as: Can a video game really handle the comedic timing that makes Asterix comics so brilliant? How do you translate cartoon physics into actual game mechanics without breaking the universe? Do magic potions even come with flavor options? And so much more! Technically you can find Chas! on BlueSky @chasexclamation.bsky.social but you'd have a much better time checking out Double Booking and any of the other wonderful work he puts his hands on over at Papercutz.

TCW Podcast Episode 242- Fumito Ueda   Fumito Ueda entered game design through art rather than a love of traditional play. Influenced by titles like Flashback and Another World, he sought to tell stories with minimal interfaces and expansive environments rich in mood. After early work on D and Enemy Zero, Sony gave him a trial period that led to ICO, a game shaped by surreal landscapes inspired by Giorgio de Chirico and a hand-holding mechanic to convey emotional connection. ICO struggled in Japan but became a critical hit abroad, influencing games from Uncharted 3, The Last of Us, Dark Souls, and Journey. Ueda expanded his ideas in Shadow of the Colossus, a meditation on cruelty and consequence that inspired epic boss battles in other franchises such as God of War. His long-delayed The Last Guardian explored companionship through a giant creature, though with mixed reception. Now independent, Ueda continues to shape gaming with projects yet to be revealed.   Punch Out (Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T8hoeVpdV0 Space Harrier (Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEWGnj12GO4 The Legend of Zelda (Famicom Disc System): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsmXV06PwnM Smash Ping Pong (Famicom): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd5QSxyG3Z0 Flashback (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNTnRM77XuE Another World (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLC_Un9lNPw D's Diner - Director's Cut (3DO): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7G1NuWciEE Enemy Zero (SEGA Saturn): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmkfgDNihZ0 PaRappa the Rapper (PSX): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97k0Dy8JweM Prince of Persia (Game Boy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thAmYGc37pA Virtua Fighter (Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7HQ2vspMHA Hello Pac-Man (SNES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5IOwrutZmM Lemmings (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuiyFXMjGxA Chuck Jones - The Evolution of an Artist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHpXle4NqWI ICO Leap of Faith (PS3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WWr_7CoIzY Giorgio de Chirico: https://www.wikiart.org/en/giorgio-de-chirico/all-works ICO cover - Japan: https://www.mobygames.com/game/5158/ico/cover/group-79093/cover-214724/ Uncharted 3 (PS5): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZFYTHMsLUc Zelda Twilight Princess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJPhioaehIY Journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkL94nKSd2M FEZ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm9XRDlNDK4 The Last of Us (PS3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJPKTCpL1ws Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34s9b6sLMjk Dark Souls (PS3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdpdkd2eNmE ICO (PS2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIzZkGP3SUk Grand Theft Auto 3 (PS2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZMyBAjQ-QE Shadow of the Colossus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiB8MEJN-QU God of War 2 (PS2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pgks8w-HK8 The Last Guardian (PS4): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6ssIkVxg_k   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Here's another game from my past that filtered in during my high school years, and has been living in a spot in my mind for all these years, just waiting.  That game is Chaos Legion, a 3d action game for Ps2 that I played for an hour and needed one day to beat... that's not always a good thing.  Sometimes games are better to if left undiscovered.  Come hear what we have to say as I am joined by a few friends to talk this Capcom game.

Read transcriptWelcome web-slinging warriors and joystick jockeys to another thrilling episode of Play Comics where we untangle the sticky situation of comic-to-game adaptations with the precision of Peter Parker trying to explain away his sudden photography skills! This week we're diving headfirst into the cel-shaded spectacular that is Ultimate Spider-Man, the 2005 game that took Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley's comic masterpiece and somehow convinced every gaming platform from here to the Daily Bugle that they needed a piece of this web-slinging action. Released across more systems than Spider-Man has quips in his arsenal—PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS—this Treyarch-developed adventure let players experience both sides of the symbiote coin. Whether you were swinging through Manhattan as everyone's favorite wise-cracking wall-crawler or stomping around as the terrifyingly toothy Venom, this game promised to deliver more comic book authenticity than J. Jonah Jameson has anti-Spider-Man editorials. Joining us for this ultimate discussion are two absolute legends from the podcasting multiverse: Derek B Gayle and Doug Fink, the dynamic duo behind Walloping Websnappers and a whole constellation of other fantastic shows on the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective that may not be directly relevant to our web-slinging shenanigans today, but are undeniably brilliant nonetheless. When they're not busy dissecting every Spider-Man cartoon ever created or exploring the depths of various other pop culture phenomena, these two bring their encyclopedic knowledge of all things Spider to help us determine whether this game truly captured the essence of the Ultimate universe or if it just left us feeling like we'd been caught in one of Green Goblin's elaborate schemes. So dust off those early 2000s gaming controllers, practice your best Venom growl, and prepare for an episode that's guaranteed to be more entertaining than watching Eddie Brock try to explain his sudden career change from journalism to alien symbiote hosting! Learn such things as: Can you make a game that really fits in with the continuity of the comics AND have it stay that way? Will we sucker any artists into making Venomized versions of The Muppets? What kind of good butt battle would ensue between Venom and Captain America? And so much more! You can find Derek and Doug on a bunch of stuff on the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective, including Walloping Websnappers, Skreeonk!, and Falling With Style. You can also find Doug on Novel Gaming and on BlueSky @ickybooley. You can also find Derek on Gimmicks and Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge, and on BlueSky @derekbgayle. Or you can find Walloping Websnappers on BlueSky @wallopingwebpod and play the game where you guess who is using the account at that moment.

Chat Transcript: 7:00 PMaddictedtochaos​​Hello 7:01 PMaddictedtochaos​​I'm just grateful I'm not deaf, went to an Oasis concert and forgot my earplugs in my hotel room. 7:02 PMaddictedtochaos​​It was very loud. 7:02 PMaddictedtochaos​​I didn't realize I forgot until I was in the stadium. 7:15 PMaddictedtochaos​​Then you probably wouldn't like The Last Guardian either. 7:20 PMPowerGlitch​​Dull? The music? 7:21 PMaddictedtochaos​​There are plenty of PS2 games that look great, Katamari just isn't one of them. 7:27 PMaddictedtochaos​​No game is better off with tank controls. 7:28 PMaddictedtochaos​​Anyone else getting ads covering up the chat? 7:29 PMaddictedtochaos​​Every so often an ad will pop up on my phone, I can swipe it away easily enough, just a minor annoyance. 7:38 PMaddictedtochaos​​So, I take it you were not excited for Silksong? 7:46 PMcaleb723​​No, not Myst... Please not Myst... 7:46 PMaddictedtochaos​​No, it was Half-Life 2, and Half-Life 2 episode 2 or something. Half-Life 3 will likely never happen. 7:47 PMcaleb723​​Riven is SO good. I played it for the first time in 2020 and was blown away by it 7:51 PMaddictedtochaos​​Halo 3 and ODST are quite good. 7:52 PMaddictedtochaos​​And then Microsoft ruined it. 7:52 PMcaleb723​​Xbox Live goes crazy 7:53 PMaddictedtochaos​​Master Chief is his rank. 7:53 PMaddictedtochaos​​Yes, his name is John. 7:54 PMaddictedtochaos​​The most recent one is Halo Infinite. 4, 5, and Infinite aren't bad, but they are just ok. 7:56 PMaddictedtochaos​​Halo's popularity isn't anywhere near what it used to be. 7:58 PMaddictedtochaos​​I loved Breath of the Wild, I stopped playing Tears of the Kingdom. 7:59 PMaddictedtochaos​​Sound cutting out. 8:03 PMaddictedtochaos​​May have been my phone. 8:04 PMcaleb723​​Remember me? 8:07 PMcaleb723​​I appreciate his lasting impact with just those two words 8:20 PMaddictedtochaos​​The studio Tango Gameworks, was acquired by another publisher and I believe that included the IP for Hi-Fi Rush. 8:25 PMaddictedtochaos​​If I recall correctly, there is a trophy for sitting with another player.

This episode is all about Shovel Knight, an action-platformer that takes much inspiration from classic games of the 8-bit era--like DuckTales, Castlevania III, and, most notably, Mega Man--and then uses that inspiration to make itself into a classic of this era.

Currently Playing returns with guest Beith talking about the classic PS2-era game The Warriors from Rockstar, a videogame retelling of the classic 1979 film and 1965 book of the same name. Beith goes deep on his research, finding it to be a missing link between Rockstar's GTA series and their next big game, Bully. There is a lot of spoiler filled discussion of the film and how it contrasts with the game, so if you'd like to see the movie be sure to track that down on the streaming platform of your choice, or play the game on modern consoles...it covers a lot of the same ground, naratively.In the backlog phases of the show, Daniel shares his thoughts on Astro Bot, which he thought was not as revolutionary as many other people did, and then Beith challenged Daniel to play King's Quest (2015) starring Christopher Lloyd as Old King Graham in this modernization of a classic Sierra point and click adventure...that maybe strays a bit from the path?0:00:00 - Welcome to the show, Beith!0:05:41 - Currently Playing the Warriors0:54:07 - Backlog Recap - Astro Bot1:08:54 - Backlog Challenge - King's Quest (2015)1:15:15 - Wrap Up/Plugs?Follow Daniel on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/douibyorthst.bsky.socialFollow the Podcast Feed on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ttwav.bsky.socialCheck out Maximum Utmost for written posts about videogames: https://maxutmost.com/Support the show on Patreon where you can get comic books written by Zoey and drawn by Jonathan: https://www.patreon.com/ttwav

The Back Page's road to GTA 6 – a borderline-unviable series of playthroughs of older GTA games – continues! You don't need to have revisited San Andreas to enjoy this episode. We give you a nice overview of everything going on in the story and missions. We dig deep into the game's early '90s Californian setting, the ways it pushed the GTA mission formula forwards, and why its Definitive Edition solves many of the original PS2 version's problems.This week's music is the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas main theme by Michael Hunter.A few show notes and small corrections: Samuel is wrong about GTA 4 having checkpoints. The Breaking Bad episode referenced is called 'Caballo Sin Nombre', not 'Caballero Sin Nombre'. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Read transcriptHoly cowl-wearing console catastrophe, comic crusaders! This week on Play Comics we're grappling-hooking our way into the surprisingly deep shadows of 2005's Batman Begins video game – because apparently someone at Eurocom looked at Christopher Nolan's gritty reboot and thought, “You know what this needs? A fear meter and the ability to summon actual bats to terrify thugs into submission!” Released across more platforms than Batman has traumatic childhood memories, this movie tie-in somehow managed to land on PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance without completely embarrassing itself in the process. While most movie games crash and burn faster than if I tried to drive the Batmobile, this stealth-action adventure actually tried to do something interesting with its “High Frequency Transponder” gadget and environmental intimidation mechanics that made enemies drop their weapons in sheer terror. Joining us for this digital descent into Gotham's criminal underworld is the incredibly talented Wells Thompson, creative mastermind behind indie comic sensations and the brilliant mind that helped bring us The Scorpion and the Queen (among a bunch of other Kickstarter projects) and the force over at WellsThompson.com. Wells brings his unique perspective on comic storytelling and adaptations to help us figure out whether this game captured the essence of both the Dark Knight's origin story and Nolan's cinematic vision, or if it belongs in Arkham Asylum alongside the rest of the movie tie-in disasters. From the surprisingly robust stealth segments that actually rewarded patience over button-mashing, to those Batmobile sequences that had us questioning our life choices, we'll explore how this Eurocom-developed title managed to be the last Batman movie to get a proper video game adaptation – and whether that's a good thing or a tragedy. So grab your utility belt and join us as we investigate whether fear really is the best weapon, or if this game should have stayed in the cave where it belongs! Learn such things as: Where does this game fit into the timeline of the movie? Is it a problem that I could just buy the driving parts by themselves? How many times can you do the same puzzle? And so much more! You can find Wells on BlueSky @wellsthomp, his newsletter Comics, Cats, and Cocktails, his current Kickstarter The Scorpion and the Queen or just go ahead and see all of his stuff on Kickstarter, and of course his website WellsThompson.com.

Sony-owned Santa Monica Studio is one of PlayStation's first party powerhouses. Responsible for the God of War franchise -- and, other than Kinetica early in the PS2 era, only the God of War franchise -- there was some excitement building about what was next. But what if it's just more God of War... at least kinda? New rumors indicate that Santa Monica is working on something more familiar than we might have hoped, and from our perspective, that can only mean one thing. We discuss. Plus: Sucker Punch expresses interest in returning to Infamous, Ghost of Yotei gets special edition PS5 hardware and a DualSense, HBO's second season of The Last of Us earns a ton of Emmy nominations, concept art for Deviation's cancelled PlayStation exclusive emerges, Dragon Quest VII is apparently being remade at Square Enix, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! With the demise of Xbox's Turn 10 Studio, is it time for PlayStation to port Gran Turismo to its rival's machine? Is Colin totally off-base with his desire for Arc System Works to create a PlayStation fighter instead of a Marvel one? What's the worst example in our personal gaming lives of losing a save file?
