Extraction shooters are finally confronting their identity crisis. Is Marathon the answer, or just another branch of the same lineage?Phil, Sides, and Anjos break down a pivotal moment for shooters: Highguard's collapse, Marathon's high-stakes launch, and Overwatch's unexpected resurgence. The debate rage on: are we watching the evolution of battle royale into something more persistent, or just another iteration of Tarkov's legacy?We discuss:● Highguard's shutdown and the limits of modern marketing○ Hate-playing, sentiment collapse, and losing control of narrative post-launch● Marathon's design thesis○ Persistent battle royale vs traditional extraction shooter lineage○ Lower friction loops, faster re-entry, and softened risk systems● The genre split○ Arc Raiders as first-principles PvE extraction○ Marathon as PvP-first with extraction layered on top● The missing innovation question○ What is Marathon's true “Bungie leap” beyond sandbox combat + loot?● Overwatch's resurgence○ Systems-driven live ops vs content arms race with Marvel Rivals● The future of shooter ecosystems○ Extraction, hero shooters, and the erosion of “black hole” games

Comedian Eli Yudin joins the show for what starts as a chat about animation and art school but quickly spirals into deep discussion on why everything is broken. We cover the important stuff: why old Newgrounds animations slapped, whether musical comedy is real comedy, the insane labor practices destroying creative industries, why growth-obsessed capitalism is a death cult, and most crucially, the correct Elden Ring build. Eli shares stories about his comedy special "Humble Offering," explains why he now reads weird little tales instead of doing traditional standup, and reveals his shameful addiction to Escape from Tarkov despite the game being held together with duct tape and broken quests. There's also a detour into how National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation proves that workers have lost all their power, a passionate defense of Tom and Jerry's artistic merit, and Spencer admitting he beat Dark Souls III by just punching everything to death.

We discuss the new trailer, gameplay direction, pricing, Standard and Deluxe Editions, and Marathon's stacked voice cast, plus whether extraction shooters like Marathon, Arc Raiders, and Tarkov could challenge Call of Duty's dominance. We also cover Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 becoming the most awarded Game of the Year winner of all time, surpassing Elden Ring, and what that means for future GOTY races. On the industry side, Ubisoft confirms a major company reset, cancelling six games including the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake, delaying seven projects, and closing two studios. Additional news includes Christopher Judge reacting to Ryan Hurst's casting as Kratos in Amazon's God of War series, Square Enix announcing Life is Strange: Reunion, and fans reviving Anthem shortly after its shutdown. We wrap up with community questions, underrated games, and what we've been playing.

Call of Duty's worst launch in a decade collides with the rise of extraction shooters, and the balance of power inside the genre shifts. We dig into why Black Ops 7 cratered, how Battlefield 6 stole the spotlight, and why Arc Raiders is suddenly the most important new IP in shooters. Chris Sides and Feras return to map the fault lines, spar over SPMM, and weigh whether Tarkov's disastrous Steam debut marks the ceiling for the genre's original heavyweight.We discuss:Black Ops 7's collapse and why marketing, futurism, and CPI pressure all convergedBattlefield 6's surge, the RedSec flop, and why innovation is still missing in BR designThe extraction boom: Arc Raiders as the “PUBG moment” and its long-term retention risksPvE as the emerging driver of mainstream extraction demandSkill-based matchmaking as an economic problem, not a matchmaking oneTarkov's failed 1.0 launch and what its country-mix reveals about stagnant reachWhether Embark should kill The Finals and move every resource into Arc Raiders

Ich spreche mit Eike zunächst über die junge Geschichte der Extraction-Shooter, die mit The Division (2016) und Escape from Tarkov (2017) begann, bevor wir ausführlich auf unsere Erfahrungen mit ARC Raiders eingehen, das gerade für PC, PS5 und XBS veröffentlicht wurde. Meine Rezension zu ARC Raiders findet ihr auf Spielvertiefung und Steady zum Hören & Lesen.
Deze talkshow wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door HyperX. Alle meningen in deze video zijn onze eigen. HyperX heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en zien de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site.Welkom bij een verse aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld die videogames heet. Opnieuw schuift Skate bij JJ aan om te discussieren over een aantal onderwerpen. Allereerst is daar de launch van Escape from Tarkov. Een extraction shooter waar veel gamers met smart op hebben zitten wachten. Na tig jaar in Early Access te zijn geweest, was het 15 november tijd voor de launch. En die verliep niet helemaal naar wens. Wat is er gebeurd? Je krijgt het antwoord op deze vraag in de Gamekings Daily van woensdag 19 november 2025.Escape from Tarkov: tig jaar in Early Access maar bij launch onmiddelijk downJJ en Skate kijken ook naar de ontwikkelingen rond Rainbow Six Siege. De game gaat het tiende jaar in en Ubisoft blijft het spel ondersteunen. We hebben vaak kritiek op de Fransen, maar dit doen ze geweldig. Wat gaat er gebeuren en is de nieuwe update genoeg voor Skate om een comeback te maken? Hij speelde Siege een jaar of vijf geleden vrijwel dagelijks. En wat als je een n00b bent? Kun je nog simpel instappen of heb je dan gewoon een te grote achterstand? Skate vertelt het je in deze video.Pak een leuke korting op de Cloud III headset en QuadCast 2 mic van HyperXLieten we je in de Gamekings Daily van maandag kennismaken met de muizen en toetsenborden van HyperX, vandaag zijn twee andere belangrijke peripherals voor de actieve gamer aan de beurt. De HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Gaming Headset is een evolutie van Cloud III Wireless. Het behoudt de geliefde functies van zijn voorganger terwijl het wel verbeterde prestaties biedt. En 120 uur aan batterijduur is ook niet verkeerd. De HyperX QuadCast 2 USB-microfoon is een verbetering van het origineel dat erg populair is en was onder gamers, streamers en content creators. Alle favoriete features zijn er nog: de iconische verlichting, de tap-to-mute-sensor, 4 opname-instellingen en de meegeleverde shock mount en bureaustandaard. Wie weet stream je ons er binnenkort mee uit. Op beide producten zit een leuke korting, te verkrijgen via de links.
The boys get off to a rough start with their usual podcasting software, and, well... other topics include an update about Paul's son, and how Drew and Paul react to being sick. Paul purchases a "TRMNL" device, and raves about it, while also being a developer for it. The boys discuss some new Steam hardware they are both excited about. Drew wants a new Apple thing, while seemingly the rest of the world does not. Drew finally gets to play an old, beloved game, while waiting for a new 1.0 release of his more recent favorite game.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 released this week, to very little fan fare and a lot of mad players. We take our bets on what games will be nominated at The Game Awards this year. Steam launches a new family of hardware with Steam Machine, the new Steam controller and Steam Frame.

Welcome to Active Reload! This week, James, Grant, and Steve discuss the biggest news of the week: That's right, Pigeon Simulator is OUT!!! Just kidding, Grand Theft Auto 6 was delayed again, this time to November 2026. The guys debate whether we could see it on new consoles next year, or will it be the same thing that happened to Grand Theft Auto 5 with the previous generation of consoles.Plus, Todd Howard was being interview by GQ and stated that Elder Scrolls 6 is "years away". It's been seven years since the 2018 E3 splash screen trailer and there has been absolutely nothing of the game since, what should we expect?Finally, it really is a big week for releases, with Call of Duty and Escape from Tarkov on the horizon. Could this be the year COD takes a bigger back seat? The guys break it all down.Remember to rate, follow, like and subscribe!
