The gaming landscape continues to transform before our eyes. Join us as we examine how established franchises are adapting to changing player expectations and technological advancements that are reshaping development.The Stellar Blade director's candid admission about narrative shortcomings signals a promising future for the franchise. Having already mastered combat mechanics, art direction, and musical composition, the team aims to deliver a more compelling story in the sequel. With commercial success on both PlayStation and PC platforms, they'll likely have the expanded budget needed to realize this vision. We discuss what this means for action RPG fans and how proper foundations in initial releases can lead to exceptional follow-up titles.Nintendo continues to march to its own drum with controversial decisions around Mario Kart World. Their latest update makes it harder for players to skip "intermission tracks" – effectively forcing their vision of how the game should be played. Meanwhile, they've explained why non-Mario characters haven't appeared in the game, suggesting possible future expansions. We debate whether these choices serve players or simply reinforce Nintendo's notorious stubbornness.From the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition announcement to potential layoffs at Microsoft studios, we cover everything you need to know about the business side of gaming.

In this episode of Unqualified Game Chat, Spencer and I reunite to talk all things Switch 2, including the surprisingly low-key launch, our hands-on impressions (or lack thereof, in my case), and Nintendo's ever-questionable release strategy. We also touch on our favorite games to play on the new hardware, debate the effectiveness of “mouse mode,” and explore the eternal frustration that is Joy-Con drift. Later in the episode, I dive into my review of Stellar Blade on PC (yes, it's sexy, and yes, I talk about it), and close things out with my thoughts on Summer Game Fest, including a raw, personal reflection on what it's like to enjoy games while facing real-world chaos just outside the venue. This episode is a mix of laughs, insight, and a touch of heartfelt commentary on immigration and labor in America. One of our more balanced and real convos to date.

Popular PlayStation 5 exclusive Stellar Blade just launched on PC, and it's the best-performing PS exclusive ever released on PC, despite games journalists constantly (and hypocritically) trying to smear it. We discuss its success and journalists' out-of-touch takes on the game along with its CEO's based take on modding games, RuneScape's canceled pride event, Jason Schreier's ignorant reporting on Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the wokeness of Brandon Sanderson's new Wind and Truth book, and more.
Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo wirft viele Fragen auf. Die wichtigste, ob es mit dem großen Vorbild Zelda: A Link to the Past mithalten kann, beantwortet Basti im Brunch. Manu berichtet von seinen legendären Toren in Rematch und Michi hat die Klavierseite in Hitman auf der Switch 2 ausgepackt. Zusätzlich hat er Stellar Blade auf dem PC angespielt. In den News geht es naturgemäß weiter viel um Nintendos neue Konsole, aber auch Bungie und Sega sind in den Schlagzeilen.

Welcome to Episode 126 of Nintendo Therapy — your weekly dose of Nintendo news, rumors, and nostalgia, with a healthy side of Smash attacks and Amiibo addictions.This week, Kevin, Harrison, and Shawn dive deep into the Donkey Kong Bananza Direct, a presentation that may go down as one of Nintendo's finest. From skill trees and transformations to mouse support and Amiibo upgrades, the team breaks down everything you need to know about this bold new DK experience — including whether it might rival Mario Odyssey or Tears of the Kingdom in scope.We also weigh in on the Pauline reveal, the $70 price tag, and why this could've (and maybe should've) been a launch title. Plus, we revisit a classic debate: Do Nintendo's movies actually help sell games? Kevin brings the numbers, and the answer isn't as clear as the hype suggests.Harrison shares a wild rumor about Stellar Blade potentially heading to Switch 2, while Shawn can't stop imagining DK's animal transformations and explosive world design.Then it's on to the Mario Party spotlight — a chaotic romp through the N64 era. From joystick-induced hand injuries and terrifying low-poly character models to the highs of Mario Party 3's story mode and Bumper Balls supremacy, we revisit the franchise that taught a generation of players how to win, lose, and blister their palms.Whether you're surfing lava on ice, spinning mini-game memories, or just trying to finish your first Donkey Kong game — this episode's got something for every kind of Nintendo fan.
Tonight's topics: - Xbox announces AMD partnership for next console - The state of Switch 2's third-party game sales - WB Games restructures & possible Sony acquisition - Marathon on hold indefinitely - PS5 is the most profitable PlayStation ever - Stellar Blade sells 3 million copies - Capcom Spotlight announced - Digital Eclipse keen on Sega Saturn fighting collection Thanks as always to Shawn Daley for our intro and outro music.

Deze talkshow wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door MSI. Alle meningen in deze video zijn onze eigen. MSI heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en zien de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site.Het weekend staat voor de deur. En het belooft lekker weer te gaan worden. Misschien zelfs iets te warm in sommige regio's. Hoe fijn is het dan om iets op je oren te hebben als je straks op het strand of bij de plassen ligt. Vanuit een erg warme studio presenteren wij een nieuwe editie van Einde van de Week Live. Drie hosts, te weten Huey, Koos en Shelly gaan de discussie aan over een groot aantal onderwerpen. Bijvoorbeeld de Donkey Kong Bananza Direct van afgelopen woensdag. Wat vonden ze daarvan? Wat vinden ze van de enthousiaste previews van Borderlands 4? Dit alles en meer komt voorbij in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 20 juni 2025.Wat vonden we van de Donkey Kong Bananza Direct?Er gebeurde deze week veel. Activision wist bijvoorbeeld niet hoe snel ze moesten melden dat Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 geen wall running en jetpacks zou hebben. Waarom was dat zo'n issue? Kojima meldde dat de eerste playtest zo positief uitpakte voor het verhaal, dat hij de boel meteen herschreef. Waarom? En die nieuwe God of War Metroidvania game wordt uitgesteld. Is dit een game die we in de gaten gaan houden of zitten we niet te wachten op Kratos in een Metroidvania? En zit Kratos er wel in?Profiteer van fijne kortingen op bijvoorbeeld de Vector 16 HX en maak kans op 250 cadeaukaart bij de ‘Upgrade Jouw Zomer' actieDe ‘E3'-periode is een speciale tijd. Een waar zomers spektakel voor gamers. En dus dachten MSI en Bol, hoe kunnen we deze mensen extra blij maken? De uitkomst is de ‘Upgrade Jouw Zomer actie'. Wat houdt de actie in? Heel simpel. Bij de aankoop van een MSI laptop met een RTX 4070 videokaart of hoger aan boord (en ja, de 50-serie hoort daar ook bij), pak jij fijne kortingen EN je maakt kans op een zomerse Bol.com cadeaukaart ter waarde van 250 euro. Kun je mooi een nieuwe zwembroek, een koelbox of parasol kopen. De actie is hier te vinden. Have fun.Krijg 120 euro exclusieve korting op de 27 inch UHD 4K monitor van LG UltraGearLG UltraGear heeft een toffe actie exclusief voor de Gamekings community opgezet. De 27-inch UHD 4K (3840x2160) Nano IPS Black display is namelijk met een korting van 120 euro verkrijgbaar voor onze community. Dit model is de eerste 27-inch gamingmonitor ter wereld met 4K-resolutie en 240Hz refreshrate en biedt daarmee in onze ogen een erg wrede en soepele spelervaring voor gamers, vooral voor liefhebbers van FPS-titels.

With Bend Studio laying off 30% of its staff as it gears up to enter a lengthy pre-production stage, it's clear their next release (should it ever materialize) will be on PlayStation 6. This is just the most recent example in a lengthening string of Sony absolutely botching its first party initiative, deploying teams on projects that make no sense, purchasing studios that have never even released a game, and complicating a service game strategy that -- at least on paper -- made a lot of sense. Where does the buck stop, exactly? And how lucky is Sony and the PlayStation brand that they've been able to coast almost entirely on external content and commercial inertia all the while? Plus: MindsEye is a complete disaster, Stellar Blade becomes PlayStation Publishing's most-played single-player PC port, Capcom and Konami reveal Resident Evil Requiem and Silent Hill Remake respectively, the Outer Worlds 2's $80 price point infuriates some, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is somehow coming to PlayStation 4, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! When Colin talks about a hypothetical AAA Mega Man game, what exactly is he envisioning? Why did Microsoft include the PS5 logo so readily during its showcase? Will GameStop ever stop selling opened games as new?

The last couple of weeks for Bungie have been nothing short of catastrophic, calling into question whether their upcoming extraction shooter Marathon has any chance at all in finding market success. We've long discussed whether Sony should have bought Bungie at all (they shouldn't have), but now that they're so deeply invested, how do they get the team out of this mess? And what does all of this hullabaloo -- about stolen art, poorly-reviewed gameplay, and lackluster audience reaction -- say about the team's future, full stop? Meanwhile, things aren't much better north of the border, where Quebec-based Haven recently parted ways with founder and once-famous producer Jade Raymond, who has now left three different teams without any sort of release. Is Fairgame$ DOA? Maybe not, but we have lots of new information on the recent closed test of the game under the moniker Project Hearts, and... well... it's not sounding great. Also: MLB: The Show is seemingly getting a mobile release, PlayStation Stars is going away unceremoniously, Stellar Blade 2 is in active development, Xbox's Hellblade II is coming to PS5, Kojima's Physint is at least five more years away, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Keeping in mind Sony's typical naming conventions, what will PlayStation 6's controller be called? Do we also find delight in Darth Vader's AI voice in Fortnite? Is the PS5 Pro truly worth purchasing before prices likely go up? Has Chris ever seen a ghost?Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.Timestamps: 0:00:00 - Intro00:44:13 - Best man bromance00:46:03 - ghoul-ing01:04:41 - Haven/Jade Raymond reflections01:37:51 - Bungie art theft reflections02:33:15 - MLB: The Show mobile02:38:25 - PlayStation Stars is over02:51:24 - Stellar Blade sequel coming02:56:49 - Kojima's next game is far off03:01:41 - Hellblade 2 is coming to PS503:05:56 - Randy Pitchford on Borderlands 4 pricing03:26:21 - Circana data03:35:21 - New Naughty Dog logo03:37:18 - Doom: The Dark Ages surpasses three million players03:40:44 - What Are We Playing (Doom The Dark Ages, Stardew Valley, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Shovel Knight Dig)04:05:34 - Iconic PlayStation Games04:16:19 - ChatGPT game hints04:19:15 - DualSense 2?4:22:38 - AI Vader in Fortnite04:28:19 - "Editions" releases04:35:04 - Current thoughts on PS5 Pro Learn more about your ad choices.

PlayStation is booming, at least depending on how you look at things. On the one hand, Sony's annual financial results are incredibly strong: PlayStation drove more revenue last year than any gaming entity ever has in the entire history of the industry. Meanwhile, PS5 will surpass 80 million units sold soon, and has become the default console for most players this generation. But there's a downside; indeed, Sony is doing all of this damage with one hand tied behind its back, as major exclusive releases have slowed down to a trickle, while the level of behind-the-scenes mismanagement becomes ever-starker. As we were wrapping our episode up, word dropped that first party studio Haven lost its founder and biggest name, Jade Raymond, apparently after a tumultuous testing of Fairgames, boding poorly for the future of that product and team. Maybe this entire initiative was a bad idea, after all? Plus: Death Stranding 2 goes gold, Stellar Blade is coming to PC, rumors percolate about a Grand Theft Auto IV remaster, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Will Final Fantasy XVII be turn-based? What does the 11th hour saving of Giant Bomb mean for the future of games media? Could Game Pass' undeniable value proposition begin peeling away the Sony hardcore? Who should we cast Obesaga on, so that we can have an overweight cast member for representation's sake?Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.
