Rockstar Games has officially delayed Grand Theft Auto VI to November 19, 2026, and fans are split between hype and frustration. We also break down the shocking union-busting allegations against Rockstar after the firing of 31 employees in the UK and what this means for the developer's reputation ahead of GTA 6's release. Then, we cover Sony's latest State of Play Japan, featuring major reveals like Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, Fatal Frame II Remake, Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 4, and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. We discuss which titles might come West and which ones highlight PlayStation's renewed focus on Japan. We also unpack Sony's Q2 FY2025 earnings, revealing PS5 sales have now surpassed 84 million units, with 119 million active users. Sony claims the PS5 is only “midway through its lifecycle,” refusing to comment on PS6 rumors — though new reports point to a 2027 hybrid console with Switch-style docking. Plus: New details leak about the Horizon MMO: Steel Frontiers from NCSoft. A new Steam console and VR headset (“Steam Frame”) leak — can Valve finally challenge Xbox and PlayStation? Crash Team Racing comeback rumors ignite after a Beenox banner leak. New PS Plus Extra & Premium lineup for November 2025 featuring GTA V, Pacific Drive, and Tomb Raider Anniversary. Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble officially revealed for mobile. All that and more in this week's PlayStation-centric discussion full of news, hot takes, and community questions!

Hop Forward: Getting You Ahead in the Brewing and Beer Business
Nick Smith from Steam Machine Brewing Company joins us on the Hop Forward Podcast this week to discuss their unique subscription service, The Fellowship of the Beer. The Fellowship of Beer is an extension of Steam Machine Brewing Company's mission to showcase just how vastly different every pint of beer can be.Founded in 2015 by husband and wife Nick & Gulen Smith, this North East brewery has always been focused on direct relationships with consumers rather than following race-to-the-bottom mass supply and supermarket deals. Their idea of craft concentrates on the ultra-artisan side of the market, with draught-led quaffing pints fresh from tanks, and distinctive strong beers, often featuring foraged ingredients, lovingly aged away in extra special barrels for months and years, each one a limited edition release. Involving their already adoring fans – and the local response has made up 50% of the original subscribers – as well as opening up to a national audience has been a natural evolution of their consumer-led style.Join us as we discuss everything from barrel-aging and packaging, market competitions analysis and big beer, through to the over-saturation of NEIPAs in the market place as well as working with the fellowship to determine what to brew as part of The Fellowship of the Beer.If you're interested in joining the Fellowship, visit www.fellowshipofbeer.orgTHIS WEEK'S EPISODE IS PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY:Charles Faram & Co (charlesfaram.com)Supplying hops for over 150 years, Charles Faram offers a vast range of nitrogen-flushed hop varieties from the UK, Europe, New Zealand, and the USA.Crisp Malting Group (crispmalt.com)Since 1870, Crisp has blended tradition with innovation, producing malts like Chevallier Heritage and Clear Choice Malt.FOLLOW HOP FORWARDhopforward.beer | LinkedIn | BlueSky | Instagram
On this week's episode, the guys kick off the discussion by diving into the highly anticipated leaks surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2. They explore the various rumors and speculations that have been circulating in the gaming community, analyzing what these potential features could mean for both casual and hardcore gamers. Following this, Joe brings up some particularly intriguing news regarding the long-rumored Half Life 3, presenting what appears to be credible evidence suggesting that the game is indeed in development. This revelation sparks an animated conversation about the implications of a new installment in such a beloved franchise, including fan expectations and the potential for innovative gameplay mechanics that could redefine the series.As the discussion progresses, the conversation shifts toward the nostalgic topic of the Steam Machine, as the guys ponder whether this once-promising platform could make a comeback. They delve into the idea of potential SteamOS hardware being developed to coincide with the release of Half Life 3, speculating on what kind of gaming accessories might accompany it. This leads to a broader examination of the current state of PC gaming and how Valve's strategies could influence the industry moving forward.Next, the conversation takes an interesting turn as they debate the merits of remakes of classic games versus HD remasters of more recent titles, particularly those that are less than a decade old. The guys weigh in on the artistic and technical challenges involved in both processes, discussing what makes a remake truly stand out compared to a simple graphical upgrade. They reflect on examples from both categories and share their personal preferences, considering how nostalgia plays a role in the gaming experience.Finally, the episode wraps up with some exciting news about Secret Level season 2, where the guys share insights into what fans can expect from the upcoming season.

Vanochtend opgestaan en ja hoor, het was gewoon keihard maandag. Wat logisch is, als je op zondagavond je bed in gaat. Maar het is wel een mooie maandag. Het is namelijk de maandag voor de Kerstdagen. De gezelligheid druipt dus nu al de huiskamers binnen. Wij werken het verhogen van de gezelligheid mee door een nieuwe aflevering van Brievenmaandag te produceren. De laatste van 2024. Zoals alle andere 50 afleveringen beantwoorden we de prangende vragen vanuit de community. Binnen gekomen via de mail en ons Discord kanaal. We willen onze kijkers immers niet met een forse dosis stress de Feestdagen in laten gaan. Deze week hebben vragen over onder andere Elden Ring, de prijs van de Steam Machine en typische Kerst games. De antwoorden op deze en de overige vragen krijg je in deze Brievenmaandag van 23 september 2024. Hoe kun je het beste beginnen met Elden Ring? Een vraag die regelmatig voorbij komt, is hoe je het beste kan beginnen aan Elden Ring? En dan bedoelen de schrijvers niet op hoe ze de disk in de spelcomputer moeten doen. Dat lukt nog wel. Nee, welk karakter moet je kiezen en welke stats kun je het beste meteen opwaarderen? Aangezien Skate bij Brievenmaandag zit, is het een perfect moment om deze kwestie goed door te nemen. Want reken maar dat er een hoop mensen rond de Kerst-dis aan de From Software gaan. Is een Steam Machine met een prijs van rond de 500 euro mogelijk? Andere vragen draaien om de koffie kunsten van Boris. Hoe zet hij zijn cappuccino's? Wat moet je nu absoluut niet vergeten als je op vakantie gaat? Bij sommige leden van de community leveren deze momenten behoorlijk wat stress op. En waarom kun je geen AirPlay of casting toepassen bij de items op de website? Al deze vragen gaan Jelle, JJ en Skate beantwoorden in deze Kerstige editie van dé Brievenrubriek van Nederland. De Gamekings Premium Awards 2024 Elke media-outlet heeft een GOTY verkiezing. Wij ook. Alleen dan niet iets anders. Want wie wint naast de GOTY verkiezing, de spreadsheet maffia award, wie de Pistolero del Sofa Award en de Woke Award. Meedoen? Laat hier rustig je inner fanboy los.

Could the Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go be redefining portable gaming? We explore the potential of these devices and ponder Valve's possible return to the console scene with a new Steam Machine. The discussion heats up as we dissect the enduring allure of live service games like Fortnite and Apex Legends, and marvel at the unexpected success of Marvel Rivals. Our insights don't stop there; the buzz around Switch 2 leaks fuels a spirited debate on the legitimacy and implications for accessory makers.Finally, we wade through the complex waters of PC building, GPU mining, and industry trends, offering our candid takes on what it all means for gamers today.

In this week's Direct, Microsoft says you don't need an Xbox to play Xbox - but if they're talking about streaming on a Fire Stick 4K, we'd beg to differ. Meanwhile, Alex talks about a 1.4GHz CPU overclock for the OG Xbox and shares his thoughts on the new Black Myth: Wukong full RT assets and benchmarks. Oliver tests out Ace Combat 7 on Switch, while Rich checks out frame generation on the First Descendant - in 30fps fidelity mode, 40fps balanced mode and 60fps performance mode. How high does frame-rate get - and are the lower fps modes a write-off? 0:00:00 Introduction 0:00:54 News 01: Microsoft says you don't need an Xbox to play Xbox 0:24:31 News 02: Game Pass prices increased 0:38:36 News 03: New Black Myth: Wukong PC details revealed 0:53:26 News 04: Original Xbox gets 1.4 GHz CPU upgrade 1:01:34 News 05: The First Descendant frame gen tested! 1:13:21 News 06: Ace Combat 7 tested on Switch 1:19:41 Supporter Q1: Which Windows-based PC handheld would you recommend most? 1:25:36 Supporter Q2: Will you be doing more 3 person game playing videos? 1:29:44 Supporter Q3: What old unused Nintendo IP would you like to see again? 1:34:45 Supporter Q4: If Microsoft got Windows working seamlessly on ARM, what would that mean for their products? 1:43:27 Supporter Q5: Do you think Valve will give Steam Machines another shot? 1:49:21 Supporter Q6: Why is Intel's XeSS so much better than AMD's FSR? 1:59:01 Supporter Q7: Will Unreal Engine traversal stutter be fixed for the new Witcher game? 2:02:08 Supporter Q8: Could the PS Portal be updated or hacked to be a substantially more useful device? 2:06:25 Supporter Q9: John asks: how is the recording session going?

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.
Today we dig into Valve Software's big foray into not only developing their in house operating system, but also their very own home hardware. Everything from the Steam Link, to the Steam Controller, to the Steam Machine and everything in between!
This week, authentic Minneapolis old time bluegrass string band Steam Machine recorded live at Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, an interview with the bands founders AJ Srubas and Rina Rossi. Joining AJ and Rina in this performance are David Robinson on banjo and Andrew Deia on upright bass. “Steam Machine is a midwest based old time/bluegrass music project fronted by award winning in-demand Minneapolis fiddler AJ Srubas and Twin Cities old time music & dance instigator Rina Rossi on guitar. A spectacular shortlist of stellar musicians perform with the band on banjo and bass, and when possible, mandolin. “Originally formed in Minneapolis in 2017, Steam Machine brought to the national stage a midwest influenced string band aesthetic that didn't draw such hard lines between bluegrass and old time music. Smooth powerful fiddling, driving three finger banjo, front-of-the-beat rhythm backup combined into a “suspiciously entertaining” sound. “Two time Appalachian String Band Music Festival (Clifftop) Traditional Band Contest ribbon winners and Folk Alliance Midwest Official Showcase Artists, since 2018 they have been touring the region and the country performing at diverse venues from roots music hubs to bluegrass and Americana festivals, and teaching workshops at traditional music epicenters across the country from the Augusta Heritage Center (WV) to Festival of American Fiddle Tunes (WA) with many others in between. At home in Minneapolis, they are heavily involved as organizers in many of the local community old time and bluegrass institutions. “While not purists, Steam Machine does listen closely to the “old stuff” and strives to capture the essence of what makes these tunes and songs special, as they hear it. The project continues to be an evolving vehicle for playing music they love and honoring the brilliance left behind by old time heroes like Lyman Enloe, Cyril Stinnett and more. Equally at home playing for an oldtime/bluegrass loving crowd or listeners new to these sounds, Steam Machine aspires to keep midwest style old time bluegrass music alive and well wherever they go.” - https://www.steammachinemusic.com/what-we-do In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1981 archival recording of Ozark original Bob Olivera performing the classic cowboy song “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In this week's guest host segment, renowned traditional folk musician, writer, and step dancer Aubrey Atwater sleuths out the origin of the folk song “The World is Old.”

CONTENT WARNING: During the first part of this episode, the discussion references harassment, suicide, and sexual abuse. If you would like to avoid these topics, please skip to at least 20:48.At the risk of getting a bit too real, Zak and Aaron ran into an issue while preparing/recording this episode. On one hand, we wanted to speak about the recent news regarding Activision Blizzard, which is both deeply troubling and infuriatingly unsurprising (making it all the more troubling). But we also wanted to publish a podcast episode that wasn't a non-stop barrage of negativity.So, we did our best to split the difference. The first 20 minutes or so are devoted to the allegations of widespread abuse at Activision Blizzard, while the rest is a little more lighthearted in nature. We talk about the recently-announced Nintendo Switch OLED, the Steam Deck, and whether either one will make a big splash in the market. In the interest of levity, Aaron inserted a mediocre pirate joke into the latter part of the discussion. But, as is often the case with pirate treasure, you'll have to go on a journey of discovery in order to find it.Heartfelt pleaFrom the deepest part of our hearts, we hope that anyone listening who is dealing with abuse of any kind or grappling with suicidal thoughts knows that they are not alone. Here are a few resources you may find valuable. If you need them, use them. If you're not sure, use them to ask.
