Lv.219配信です。今回は「最近遊んだゲームの話」です。直近2週に渡ってゲスト回となりましたので、我々が最近何を遊んでいたかを話す雑談回です。 #感想 #レビュー #解説 #考察 #ポッドキャスト////

Zaczynamy od klasycznego Hydeparku, gdzie na tapecie ląduje Xbox oraz temat, który wraca jak bumerang: PlayStation bez napędu i przyszłość gier bez fizycznych wydań. Krótka, konkretna rozkmina o tym, dokąd zmierza branża i czy płyty faktycznie mają jeszcze sens.Potem wskakujemy w temat główny: Saros — świeży projekt, który zaskakuje klimatem, światem i tym, jak sprawnie łączy nowe pomysły z klasycznym podejściem do narracji. Analizujemy, co w nim działa, co intryguje i dlaczego warto mieć go na radarze.W drugiej części odcinka jedziemy dalej z tempem: #DRIVE Rally, czyli arcade'owa jazda w stylu retro, która potrafi wywołać uśmiech szybciej niż loading ekranu. Po nim Replaced — pikselowy dystopijny thriller, który w końcu możemy omówić po latach czekania. Na koniec dorzucamy 33 Immortals, czyli kooperacyjny chaos w skali, której nikt się nie spodziewał. Zapraszamy!(00:00:00) Hydepark - Xboxy i brak płyt(00:48:35) Temat główny: Saros(01:07:06) #Drive Rally (01:16:36) Replaced(01:26:44) 33 ImmortalsMożecie komentować pod odcinkiem, na naszym fanpage'u oraz możecie wysłać do nas maile.

Ohne Moos nits los... sagte man glaub ich in grauer Vorzeit. Der Gamer von heute braucht ne dicke Brieftasche, aber das ist wohl nit die einzige Challenge, der man sich heute noch stellen muss - daher beleuchten unsere Lieblingsdinos heute mal ein wenig die Branche und liefern dabei sicherlich spannende Erkenntnisse, oder auch nit. Aber NATÜRLICH haben wir auch gezockt - lustigerweise unabhängig von einander eher fast Retro, aber das heisst ja nit, dass es weniger Spaß gemacht hat und wir weniger darüber reden. Weil wir können immer. Zumindest reden. Deswegen tun wir das ja auch so gern, und nit irgendwas Anderes. - State of Gaming in 2026 (alle) - Valve Steam Machine Preise - saftige Preiserhöhungen bei Sony und Microsoft Konsolen - GTA VI vorerst nur digital - ab 2028 keine physischen Discs mehr für PlayStation - Microsoft entlässt 3.200 Mitarbeiter und trennt sich von 5 namhaften Studios - The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom & Mina The Hollower (Peter) - 007 First Light (Tax, Sidekick: Peter) - Saros (Christian, Sidekick: Peter) - Remember Me (Christian, Sidekick: Philipp) - Call of the Sea (Christian) Quickies: - Valor Mortis Demo (Christian) - Rain World inkl.

Hello one and all, and welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! In this month's installment Colin and Josh dig deep into the recent news stories that have been plaguing not only PlayStation, but the gaming industry at large. Indeed, with bad news story, after bad news story, it's hard to feel optimistic about the hobby that we all know and love so much. While there are many available tendrils to pull on here, the boys settle in around the PS3 storefront closure, and the 2028 impending death of physical games on PlayStation. There are so many areas to dig into here, so many reasons to be upset (or not to be upset), that the conversation naturally is a bit all over the place. Regardless, after the dust settles do either of the aforementioned stories actually prompt us to reconsider if Sony and the PlayStation is our gaming home? Of course as per the typical run of the show we also take time to highlight some impressive and noteworthy Platinum's earned by our community, touch on our favorite trophies we've personally earned in the last month, and touch on what we've been playing. Much like Zac (the recordkeeper) before him, Saros has its hooks in Josh and we spend a good deal of time discussing the mechanics of the game and how it reminds us of more recent titles like Doom: The Dark Ages. Additionally, Josh takes some time away from the bullet hell genre to go and kick some ass in Marvel: Cosmic Invasion. It turns out the title may not have received as much praise as it should have! Colin on the other hand, in anticipation of Doom's DLC on July 7th, and Halo: Campaign evolved at month's end, has gone for a more chill trophy hunting experience in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. While the game may not be difficult, it boasts 13 main protagonists and characters, a time traveling Sci-Fi story, and some truly beautiful imagery. Has Colin gone full weeb? Well maybe not full, but after how much he disliked the Survival-Crafting genre after giving Grounded a try, he just had to try something different. Thank you all for listening, and be excellent to each other.

In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show podcast, special guest Patrick Susmilch joins the crew to discuss the remake of Star Fox 64, Steam Next Fest demos like Penguin Colony and Duskfade, Charles' review of The Adventures of Elliot, Dark Scrolls (no, that's not a typo), Saros, and more.Susmilch performed on Last Comic Standing (you'll never guess which famous comedian liked his set), but is undeniably best known for his appearance here at Game Informer in 2014, where he discussed making terrible XNA games for Xbox with his friends. He also developed a narrative game about performing bad stand-up comedy, Open Mic Simulator. Oh, also, everyone's favorite Star Fox character, Yaru de Pon, is a guest for the duration of the video show, but we don't like to talk about it.The Game Informer Show is a weekly podcast covering the video game industry.

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?

Jamie Strombreaker from One More Game joins Ben this week to discuss game design philosophy and the amazingly zany and fun game SWAPMEAT—a third-person shooter featuring a unique part-switching mechanic. Jamie and his team are very excited to share their full “out of early access” version of the cooperative-focused roguelite with the world on June 17th, so there is a LOT of juicy conversational MEAT to consume.

We break down what these reports could mean for the future of Xbox Game Studios, Hellblade, South of Midnight, Psychonauts, and the broader Xbox ecosystem. We also dive into troubling reports surrounding Bungie, as the PlayStation-owned studio could reportedly lose up to 50% of its workforce following the conclusion of Destiny 2's story and Marathon's underwhelming launch performance. What does this mean for Bungie's future under Sony? Is Destiny 3 truly off the table? And can Marathon recover? Plus, we discuss Housemarque's future after Saros, why the studio sees itself following a path similar to FromSoftware, and what PlayStation fans can expect from one of Sony's fastest-growing first-party teams. Join us as we break down the biggest gaming industry stories of the week, the future of Xbox, Bungie, PlayStation Studios, and the state of the games business in 2026.

The most wonderful and/or tedious time of the year has come once more: It's Not-E3 2026, when all of the video game giants share their biggest announcements for the year. As always, we're here to recap it, with thoughts on Sony's State of Play, the Summer Game Fest, and the Xbox Showcase, across which we saw the unveiling of God of War Laufey, the sooner-than-expected Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the long-awaited reveal of Persona 6 and more gameplay of Persona 4 Revival, and much more, including Xbox's completely incoherent exclusivity ‘strategy.' We also find some time to quickly review Saros, the new PS5 exclusive from Housemarque, and talk about 007 First Light from Hitman developers IO Interactive. A very silly Monthly Ten rounds out the episode, in which Jonathan pitches 10 Star Wars projects for Disney to announce and then quickly abandon.   Enjoy!

What a week! Our jam-packed episode of Sacred Symbols covers all of the announcements from both Sony's State of Play presentation, as well as Geoff Keighley's Summer Games Fest showcase. And let's just say, there's a ton to get through. State of Play's 25 game roster included a fresh, expanded look at Wolverine, the reveal of Firesprite's long-rumored Until Dawn 2, and the confirmation of a brand new God of War game in the form of Laufey (plus a ton of third-party stuff, including Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Silent Hill: Townfall, Control Resonant, Phantom Blade 0, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and more). Geoff's show went even harder, with a full 53 games displayed, including the culmination of the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga in the form of Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, the always-assumed Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake en route in 2027, two new Cuphead titles, the Stellar Blade sequel Blood Rain, and so on. We have other news this week, too -- MMORPG Horizon: Steel Frontiers has been delayed, California's legislature is going after developers and publishers who delist games, Fable has been delayed until next year, and so on -- but really, the meat of the show is all about these E3-like pressers. Even the questions at the end! So buckle up for one long episode of Sacred Symbols.

Trent Kusters chats with Gregory Louden, Creative Director behind Housemarque's latest dark sci-fi bullet-ballet, Saros. Together they discuss his early work in film with directors such as Alfonso Cuarón and Ridley Scott; transitioning into games and his path from VFX, to narrative, and ultimately direction; creating a spiritual successor to Returnal while developing a brand new IP; focusing on challenging but rewarding gameplay; and building a narrative around the roguelike gameplay.  This episode is supported by Xsolla iam8bit Episode Host: Trent Kusters Producers: Claudio Tapia and Josh Chu, The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing and leaving us a rating and review.

The Game Deflators break down new pickups, big gaming news, PS6 backwards compatibility rumors, a Steam Deck price jump, and a retro review of Woody Woodpecker on PS2.

John is closing in on the finale of Valkyrie Profile, while Ryan celebrates completing Saros and shares thoughts on its final stretch. The conversation shifts to community sentiment as Xbox players voice a growing desire for a revival of Banjo Kazooie. The guys break down why the franchise still resonates and whether Microsoft might finally listen. From there, the episode takes a sharp turn into hardware drama. Lenovo has pulled a handheld device that shipped preloaded with Nintendo and Sega games, raising questions about licensing, oversight, and how something like this makes it to market. The Steam Deck also enters the spotlight after a major price hike that has players debating value, timing, and Valve's long‑term strategy. PlayStation rumors heat up as reports suggest the PS6 could support PS3 titles thanks to a new CPU design. John and Ryan explore what this could mean for backward compatibility and how it might reshape Sony's next generation. To wrap up the show, the Inflation Deflation Challenge features a retro review of Woody Woodpecker: Escape from Buzz Buzzard Park on the PS2. The guys revisit its chaotic platforming, oddball charm, and current market value to decide whether it still holds up.   Find us on TheGameDeflators.com   Twitter - www.twitter.com/GameDeflators Facebook - www.facebook.com/TheGameDeflators Instagram - www.instagram.com/thegamedeflators   The views and opinions expressed on this channel are solely those of the author.

And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming!  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!

Bonus Episode #69 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan reviews Saros, the latest PlayStation 5 exclusive now available from Housemarque, the Finnish studio behind Returnal. Set on the hostile, shape-shifting planet Carcosa under an ominous and ever-present eclipse, the game follows Arjun Devraj, a Soltari Enforcer sent to investigate a lost off-world colony who arrives with his own deeply personal reasons for being there. This Musical Review covers the fast-paced combat loop and roguelite progression systems built around Carcosa's eclipse cycles, the game's striking environmental design and cinematic presentation, the multi-phase Overlord boss encounters that rank among the best the genre has to offer, and an honest look at the story's ambitious but uneven narrative and the emotional distance created by its complicated lead character. The episode also dedicates a full segment to the original score, how the dark, atmospheric, and cinematically driven music supports the tension and isolation of Carcosa at every turn, and what it contributes to moments where the writing alone doesn't quite carry the weight.

What a week! On the back of Colin's PSN account being temporarily hijacked by nefarious forces, we have an enormous amount to get through for our ever-eager audience. We dissect what happened, why it happened, how we've been communicating with Sony to try and convince them to fix the major issues plaguing their online service, and what we feel you should do to protect yourself. But understand this, and understand it well: PSN's security is a complete joke. All an outsider needs to get access to your account is an email address and mundane information like the date you made a random purchase, and they'll give your account to basically anyone. Your password doesn't matter, your 2FA doesn't matter, and your passkey doesn't matter. To repeat: Your password doesn't matter, your 2FA doesn't matter, and your passkey doesn't matter. And if you want more proof, someone in our audience reset two of his own accounts back-to-back with PlayStation's hilariously-deficient (and potentially-compromised) third world customer service call centers, just to make the point. Sony must make serious changes and reunite people with their stolen PSN accounts, and we intend on pressing until they do. We are your loyal and dedicated customers. Remember? Other news this week includes the announcement of a fresh State of Play in early June, confirmation that PlayStation will no longer release its single-player games on PC, the official end of Destiny 2, the renaming of Fairgames, rumors of a return of Infamous, an increase in PS+ pricing, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Could Shuhei Yoshida ever return to PlayStation? Why have mergers and acquisitions dramatically slowed down in the games industry? Will Sony pull PS5s from shelves shortly after PS6 launches due to pricing tensions? Which members of Cobra would Chris and Dustin be?

It's mid-May, which can mean only one thing: We're at the point in the calendar when most companies release their financials for the previous fiscal year. Sony is one such organization, reporting a relatively flat year-on-year picture both generally, and with PlayStation in particular. With PS5 sales slowing down all the while the console is becoming more expensive, and with recent Housemarque exclusive Saros seemingly selling softly, does Sony have an uphill battle to keep PlayStation relevant? Or will the inevitable PlayStation 6 -- not to mention PS5's likely-strong swan song next year -- be enough to keep the ever-distracted masses engaged with the ecosystem? We discuss. Plus: Sony's second and third party lead gives a candid interview, 007: First Light goes gold, a new externally-manufactured DualSense controller has hit the market, PlayStation Plus Game Catalog receives a refresh, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Why did so many people believe Game Informer was teasing a Grand Theft Auto VI cover? Do we think the rumors indicating that FromSoft is working on a pirate-themed game are true? Is Dragon Quest XII finally going to be properly revealed in a couple of weeks? Could Chris contest Brad's status as the guy who cares the most about Last Stand Media?Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.0:00:00 - Intro0:55:19 - Stand down Jeff0:56:27 - Daxter the pup1:02:39 - Chris on Saint Slayer1:03:59 - Sacred polls1:06:07 - PSN Settlement update1:07:28 - The "original" Uncharted 41:17:07 - Fiscal year financials2:11:35 - Saros sales numbers2:36:15 - Stellar Blade 2 goes multiplatform2:43:42 - Playstation 3rd party lead interview2:50:44 - 007 First Light has gone gold2:55:40 - New Scuf controller2:58:29 - New PS+ Plus catalog games3:03:46 - What Are We Playing?

Saros is the continuation of decades of bullet-dodging action games from Housemarque. But it has most in common with the team's previous game, Returnal.

We're all together again to talk about video games mostly as we dig a bit more into Saros, whether Lord of Hatred does its thing well, board games, Titanium Court, and Starseeker, which is an Astroneer game but not really actually! This week's music: Evanescence - Who Will You Follow

Ben Lindbergh, Steve Ahlman, and Matt James assess their hype levels for several recently announced release dates for upcoming games and video game movies, react to the ‘Resident Evil' teaser, and share their thoughts on Microsoft's Game Pass price cut and Xbox brand rehabilitation. Then they review Sony's new PS5-exclusive rogue-like shooter ‘Saros' and compare it to its predecessor ‘Returnal.' Finally, they play Mash or Pass with four other new games: ‘Vampire Crawlers,' ‘Invincible VS,' ‘Tides of Tomorrow,' and ‘Aphelion' (plus “Rage Quit” rants about a ‘Battlefield' movie and rolling credits too early).
