We were already recording this episode when unexpected news broke: Sony is shuttering Texas-based first-party remake and port specialist studio Bluepoint. Equally shocking -- when taking into context the many first and second party failures, flubs, and misalignments in recent years -- is PlayStation Studios lead Hermen Hulst still somehow having a job. Bluepoint has an exceptional pedigree alongside untapped potential, but that's been squandered by the same machinery that allowed them to make a multiplayer game in the first place. Who is responsible for all of this first party buffonery? What's with this obsession with established teams all chasing the same exact thing? And how lucky is Sony that the going is so good for PlayStation 5 that none of this really seems to matter? Here's hoping the bloodletting begins and ends here, but we're skeptical. Other news this week includes rumors of PlayStation 6's delayed timeline, when we might expect to see Santa Monica Studios' unannounced title, McFarlane Toys picking up the Sony toy license, and more. Then, we wrap things up with listener inquiries. On the back of Silent Hill: Townfall's PS5 console exclusivity, why does Sony bother chasing these deals these days? Does Fairgame$ have an icecube's chance in hell of succeeding? Will God of War's remake be one compilation or three separate games? Is Dustin ready for his fatherly snot-sucking duties?

The Gi crew return to discuss Phil Spencer & Sarah Bond suddenly stepping down from their positions at Xbox, the new Xbox CEO's plans, Sony's plan to rob YOU, Xenoverse 3, Skate getting worse and more.

In Episode 464 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with economist, investor, and sovereign wealth and pension fund advisor Sony Kapoor about the case for a great rebalancing of capital from developed into emerging markets, generational investment opportunities in India, how the breakdown of the unipolar order creates both challenges and opportunities for EM investors, and whether AI can revive developed economies weighed down by public debt, unfunded liabilities, and faltering demographics. The first hour covers the structural forces behind the outsized concentration of global portfolios in American assets, why the Trump administration's erratic policymaking has made that overexposure impossible to ignore, and a deep dive into India—its evolving relationship with the US, how its elites and citizens perceive America under Trump, what it has drawn from Beijing's development model, and the remarkable optimism pervading Indian society in contrast to Western declinism. The second hour examines the broader EM investment case—why risk across currency, political, fiscal, and institutional dimensions is converging between developed and developing economies, why growth and demographic tailwinds favor dramatic portfolio reallocation toward emerging markets, and whether AI can sustain America's virtuous capital reinvestment cycle or whether rapid global adoption will erode that edge. They also discuss geopolitical complexities shaping these considerations, from India's deep military dependence on Russia to the fraying US-led international order and its implications for strategic autonomy across the developing world.

In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, we're doing something a bit different! My guest Sharath Jeevan, Founder of The Generational Success Lab at Oxford's Said Business School, is interviewing me as we approach the one-year anniversary of my book 'Too Much'. If you've ever felt like your ambition was 'too much' for the world around you, or if you left corporate because you needed a bigger playing field to run on, this conversation is for you. Sharath and I explore how I went from a rebellious teenager who wanted to be a rock star to building a seven-figure consulting business that finally gives me the container I need.  We talk about the corporate exit, the early days of celebrating £3,000 months, and what it really takes to build a business around your zone of genius rather than what you think you're 'supposed' to do.  This is a candid conversation about legacy, ambition and what happens when you finally stop trying to fit into someone else's version of success. In This Episode:  [00:01:33] How Jessica's early ambition and 'too much-ness' shaped her path - and why entrepreneurship became the only container that could hold her [00:05:16] The violin, physics homework, and parental expectations: navigating the gap between what your family wanted and who you actually are [00:10:22] The corporate years at Sony and the moment Jessica realized she'd rather be made redundant than stay - and what came next [00:17:50] Building a £3,000/month business from the attic and how Jessica's husband became her biggest supporter [00:22:49] The pivot moment: when Jessica stopped trying to 'follow the business plan' and started listening to what clients actually needed [00:27:14] Getting past comparisonitis and imposter syndrome and why one client sale fixes most business problems [00:29:34] Reflecting on the book 'Too Much', writing as legacy work, and what's next Key Takeaways:  Entrepreneurship was the only container big enough: If you've always felt restless in corporate, it's not because you're broken. You just need a playing field where you can run as fast as you want without hitting a ceiling. The power of low-volume, high-ticket consulting: One client sale can fix most business problems. Five clients can fix almost everything. This is why we build businesses where you're not making 500 sales just to stay afloat. Your ambition isn't the problem. The context is: Jessica spent years being told she was 'too much'. The breakthrough came when she stopped trying to fit into someone else's version of success and built a business aligned with her actual genius. Quotes:  "Entrepreneurship has been the only thing that I found, the only container that can actually hold me, that doesn't make me feel kind of trapped or restricted and gives me a big playing field where I can run as fast as I want." - Jessica Fearnley "I always try and go with the path of least resistance, keeping the bar as low as it can possibly be, because then it's like, I may as well have a go. And you know, more often than not it goes well and it works." - Jessica Fearnley "I'm really passionate about how we can be intentional about our legacy. You've done that very consciously and deliberately, and I'm very passionate about how we can all try and find that whatever way makes sense for us in our lives as well." - Sharath Jeevan Useful Links Sharath Follow Sharath on LinkedIn Sharath's Website: intrinsic-labs.com Episode 112: Encouraging Yourself to Make a Bigger Impact with Sharath Jeevan Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn Guest Bio Sharath is focused on helping Leaders across sectors futureproof success and build intentional legacy, with clients ranging from L'Oreal to the Barbican to the NHS.

He's the author of two acclaimed leadership books, "Intrinsic" and "Inflection". Sharath is exploring the questions of generational transition through a forthcoming novel and comedy show.

This week on the Boss Rush Podcast, ⁠⁠Corey Dirrig⁠⁠, ⁠⁠LeRon Dawkins⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠Patrick Klein break down Sony's latest presentation and react to a packed slate of exciting announcements from both first- and third-party studios.Konami made a major statement with the reveal of Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2, a brand-new 2D Castlevania title from Motion Twin and Evil Empire, Silent Hill: Townfall from Bloober Team, and a publishing deal for The Darwin Project.Capcom also stood out, sharing final looks at Resident Evil Requiem, Monster Hunter Stories 3, and Pragmata ahead of their respective launches.Sony's first-party lineup was equally impressive, featuring Suros from Housemarque, a final look at Marathon from Bungie, a Ghost of Yotei Legends update from Insomniac Games, the multiplayer-focused 4Loop, and perhaps the biggest surprise of all—a major showing from the God of War franchise.That included a shadow drop of Sons of Sparta, a new 2D search-action title starring a young Kratos and Deimos, alongside a full ground-up remake of the original trilogy from Santa Monica Studio.All this and more on a packed episode of The Boss Rush Podcast.Email Questions to ⁠the Boss Rush Podcast⁠.Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Boss Rush Network Community Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here⁠⁠.Follow the Boss Rush Network on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X/Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Thanks for your continued support of the Boss Rush Podcast and the Boss Rush Network!

C'est le 400e épisode de cet incroyable podcast, et si vous espériez un épisode tranquille, bien chill, pour passer ce cap dans le calme et la sérénité, vous vous mettez la manette dans l'oeil. Cette semaine, c'est le départ choc de Phil Spencer de chez Microsoft, suivi de prêt par Sarah Bond. La direction de la division Xbox est chamboulée, et on prend le temps de digérer la nouvelle, et de rendre hommage à une équipe qui a forgé les quinze dernières années du paysage jeux vidéo pour le meilleur et pour le pire.Sony n'est pas en reste, puisque PlayStation ferme un nouveau studio. C'est Bluepoint qui ferme ses portes cette semaine. Après s'être spécialisé dans les remakes de classiques de PlayStation, ils avaient été rachetés en 2022 et depuis... plus rien.

Hello and welcome to Bill vs the MCU! Each month your hosts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Pop Break Podcasting Director Alex Marcus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pop Break Editor in Chief Bill Bodkin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ are taking another step into the wider Marvel Multiverse as the MCU dives deeper into their Multiverse Saga.Bill & Alex spent all of 2022 rewatching the first four phases of the MCU, and, in the years since, they have covered the first four seasons of Agents of SHIELD, the entire Netflix Defenders Saga, Fox's X-Men,  Fantastic Four, and Daredevil films, the Blade trilogy, a few Punisher films, Ang Lee's Hulk, and, most recently, Marvel's Modern Animation line up of shows.This month, Alex & Bill are celebrating Valentine's Day by covering the most romantic Spider-Man franchise: The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the two films Sony made because they contractually had to make…something. These films star Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and a wildly overqualified cast of supporting players. They get into how these films came into being, what about them works better than you might remember, what about them is even worse than you thought was possible, and what Sony's Spider-Man Cinematic Universe that almost was might have looked like before they fired Garfield and kicked the franchise's creative direction over the Marvel Studios for a second reboot in under a decade.They also give early thoughts on Wonder Man and the latest trailer for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, both of which the pod will cover in their July 2026 episode.Come back next month for part three of Podding the Spider-Verse with reviews of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), now streaming on Netflix, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), now streaming on Disney Plus!

In this week's episode of GameBurst, we cast a critical eye over a turbulent period for the gaming industry. The news is dominated by Sony's strategic pivot, as the company confirms a remastered trilogy of the original God of War titles alongside the surprise release of the 2D prequel, Sons of Sparta. However, this nostalgic revival is offset by the somber news of the closure of Bluepoint Games, the celebrated studio behind the Demon's Souls remake, marking another casualty in a string of recent internal restructures at Sony. The industry also pauses to mourn Hideki Sato, the visionary engineer who designed every Sega console from the SG-1000 to the Dreamcast, whose passing marks the end of an era for hardware innovation. Furthermore, we examine the looming threat of global component shortages that Valve warns could impact hardware availability and pricing throughout 2026. Our "Pick of the Week" segment features a diverse range of titles, from the high-octane racing of Grid Legends to the indie charm of Cast n Chill and The Rogue Prince of Persia. Finally, we dive into the mailbag to address listener questions regarding podcast analytics and the motivations behind independent gaming broadcasts.   YouTube Recommendations: The Tragedy Of Becoming Better by The Masked Man: https://youtu.be/FNAyjfDUX2o?si=Rb46TxDd3wxEXPrJ Mass Effect - Shaped By Stories: https://youtu.be/ghAXbX-F5K0?si=WxFVibwCOMD8DKS1

In this episode of our weekly gaming podcast, Game Informer's Kyle Hilliard reviews God of War: Sons of Sparta, a new 2D metroidvania that Mega Cat Studios and Sony Santa Monica released during last week's PlayStation State of Play. Unfortunately, it's an underwhelming title. Kyle then explains why he spent $99 USD on Nintendo's Virtual Boy rerelease and what it's like experiencing the headset's strange catalog of games on the Switch 2.Later in the show, Eric Van Allen dives into Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse, a mystery adventure about a cursed Japanese seaside town that has impressed him. Finally, Alex Van Aken shares his thoughts on the rock-climbing simulator Cairn and how it's an excellent example of how games can uniquely tell stories.The Game Informer Show is a weekly podcast covering the video game industry.

How do you design financial infrastructure that keeps running when the unexpected hits, whether that is a regional outage, a regulatory shift, or a sudden spike in digital demand? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Katsutoshi Itoh from Sony and Masahisa Kawashima from NTT, both representing the IOWN Global Forum, to unpack how photonics-based networks could change the foundations of digital finance. Speaking with me from Kyoto, they share how the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network vision is moving beyond theory and into practical, finance-specific use cases. Financial institutions are under constant pressure to deliver uninterrupted services while meeting ever tighter compliance standards. Yet as we discuss, many existing architectures still rely on asynchronous data replication and layered resilience added after the fact. On paper, it works. In a real disruption, gaps quickly appear. Itoh and Kawashima explain how synchronous replication over ultra-low latency optical networks can reduce the risk of data loss while simplifying disaster recovery and lowering operational complexity. We also explore the role of Open All-Photonic Networks and why reducing packet forwarding layers can dramatically cut latency and infrastructure costs. Instead of concentrating compute and storage in dense urban data centers, photonics enables distributed computing across regions while maintaining deterministic performance. That shift opens the door to improved resilience, better infrastructure utilization, and new approaches to scaling without constant over-provisioning. Sustainability sits alongside resilience in this conversation. Rather than treating energy efficiency as a compromise, the IOWN vision distributes power demand geographically, making better use of locally available renewable energy and reducing concentrated load pressures. It is a subtle but important rethink of how infrastructure supports broader societal goals. Looking ahead, we consider what this could mean for digital banking platforms, AI-driven risk management, and cross-border financial services. If infrastructure limitations fall away, institutions can design services around business needs rather than technical constraints. If you are curious about how photonics could underpin the next generation of financial services, this episode offers a grounded and thoughtful perspective. As always, I would love to hear your thoughts after listening.

The RAM-apocolypse continues of course, with hints of it hitting general manufacturers, and delay of gaming systems and even spinning harddrives.  At least Micron is making some PCIe 6 drives you cannot have.  Also, since we are sometimes audio geeks as well as PC, we talk about some bananas.  Seriously.  You'll just have to listen to get the scoop on bad Chrome extensions, bad Copilot, and bad password managers.  Until then, enjoy Unread Tournament 2004!Timestamps:0:00 Intro01:15 Patreon03:22 Food with Josh05:20 Acer and ASUS caught up HEVC patent dispute07:15 Intel's new annual GPU cadence09:00 Micron is making PCI-E 6.0 SSDs that you can't have11:10 WD CEO says storage is already sold out for 202614:07 Warning - many consumer electronics companies will fail this year22:25 Sony may push PS6 launch as far as 202922:55 US reportedly removes two Chinese memory companies from banned list25:54 RTX 5090 LIGHTNING is 5090 USD (list price, anyhow)29:35 Audio dragged through the mud - and a banana34:34 (In)Security Corner45:07 Gaming Quick Hits50:35 Jeremy reviews 25 USD speakers from Cyber Acoustics56:53 Picks of the Week1:08:51 Outro ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

16 years ago, Limbo launched on Xbox Live.  It wasn't the first puzzle-platformer, but its molasses-thick layer of fairy tale horror inspired a generation of grim, mostly wordless contemporaries. Arguably, the most successful of the bunch has been the Little Nightmare series, created by Tarsier Studios. Today's game is the latest evolution of this sub-genre. With Reanimal, the Tarsier team adds co-op to the mix. Is playing with friends (or a computer companion) a clever addition or does it undermine the horror of being alone in a cruel, dark world? We have conflicting answers! Plus, The Besties pick through Sony's recent State of Play and share their favorite announcements.

Episode #590: Rumors are swirling in the gaming world that Sony may push back the launch of the PlayStation 6 as far out as 2028 or even 2029, thanks to emerging global chip shortages and rising memory prices that are reshaping next-gen console timelines. Reports from outlets like Bloomberg and market insiders suggest AI-driven demand for critical components like RAM and SSDs is forcing manufacturers to rethink hardware release schedules, and the PS6 could be one of the biggest casualties of this shift.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris try their best to bring you this month's SAG Standouts. The challenge? Doing it for the Intellivision, a console neither one of them has a ton of experience with (even though Kris inexplicably owns 5 of the darn things). Which games will make their lists? Then, in Week Old News, Hyperkin gets ever closer to releasing their take on the Nomad, Goldfish crackers get into the world of gaming for some reason, Sony hosts a killer State of Play with some fantastic surprises , and more! Finally, in the Checkpoint, Kris tries the new Jaws NES game, Dan does a bunch of stuff I've forgotten about because I accidentally forgot to write this part last week when we recorded and I can't be arsed to go back and listen again, and presumably there was talk of sandwiches.

Marco por el contrario ha conseguido salir de su bajón con Cairn, un juego de escalada que no deja indiferente. Acabamos con unas confesiones sorprendentes. Repasamos noticias y los planes de San Valentin.¡Esperemos que os guste!Aquí tenéis el enlace para crearos la cuenta de ICG Vault, la web app donde puedes votar las pelis, juegos y series y donde cuanto mas participes, mayor será tu peso en el computo global! https://icgvault.esNuestros 10 juegos recomendadosRed dead redemption 2HadesThe last of us 2Elden ringMass effect 2Xcom 2World of warcraftHollow knightZelda breath of the wildPersona 5 royale¡Encuentra tu versión 2.0 con los consejos de Joakin Dead!⁠https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0BHTZPJMH/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_api_EX5KV44ACRD6C0165XDM⁠Aquí tienes tu código de descuento de Wetaca: JOAQUINL4097Recordad, si queréis saber mas de nosotros, a continuación toda la información:InsertCoin Games:Grupo de Discord: ⁠https://discord.gg/aJrZFRC⁠Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_TLx2vHlr7AJ4kPgckx68wTwitch: ⁠https://www.twitch.tv/insertcoingames⁠Twitter: @ICGames_ESInstagram: insertcoingames_Se os quiere!

Shane previews one of the biggest indie games of the year, Sony continues its horrific management of its internal studios killing Bluepoint games, and he shares his hopes and dreams for the next mainline Pokemon game!

Sony ran an all-timer of a State of Play last week, so we spend a bunch of time digging into a bunch of news and demos about God of War Trilogy Remake, Control Resonant, and Konami's impressive bundle of Castlevania, Silent Hill, and Metal Gear games. Also, games like God of War: Sons of Sparta, Menace, Heart of the Forest, and Avowed on PS5. Also, Vinny's questionable encounter at the Outback Steakhouse. Sounds like a podcast, alright!CHAPTERS(00:00:00) NOTE: Some timecodes may be inaccurate for versions other than the ad-free Patreon version due to dynamic ad insertions.

Marvel sits out the Super Bowl for the first time in over a decade, Star Wars leans into nostalgia with a Grogu-powered parody, and an AI-generated Tom Cruise vs. Brad Pitt fight clip sends shockwaves through Hollywood. Jim Hill and Dan Graney unpack what Disney's marketing restraint really signals for Avengers: Doomsday, how The Mandalorian & Grogu is being positioned for theaters, and why a 15-second AI video may have just changed the rules of the game. HIGHLIGHTS • Marvel breaks a 14-year tradition by skipping a Super Bowl spot for Avengers: Doomsday, signaling a long-term narrative strategy rather than a short-term hype spike. • No Super Bowl presence for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, despite mounting online speculation and leaks. • Disney pivots to nostalgia with a parody-style ad for The Mandalorian & Grogu, complete with Tauntauns and clear Clydesdale-inspired staging. • The economics of Super Bowl advertising - including the staggering production and airtime costs behind the Jurassic Park-inspired Infinity commercial. • Disney's multi-year theatrical roadmap and how Sony's Spider-Man releases help build runway toward Avengers: Secret Wars. • Daredevil: Born Again undergoes a major creative reset after six completed episodes, with Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio reportedly pushing for tonal recalibration. • Legal guardrails surrounding Sony's Spider-Man film rights continue to restrict Kingpin's potential big-screen appearances. • A hyper-realistic AI-generated Tom Cruise vs. Brad Pitt fight ignites industry-wide concern from SAG-AFTRA and studio executives. • What AI disruption could mean for blockbuster filmmaking, union protections, and the future of human performance.
