In today's Daily Fix:In light of Sony's lawsuit, megapublisher Tencent has changed some of the assets on the Steam page for Light of Motiram. The game fell into Sony's crosshairs for looking a lot like their Horizon Zero Dawn games, and judging by some of those marketing assets, Sony might have a case. Tencent has changed the description and some of the art featuring a female protagonist that looks an awful lot like Horizon's Aloy, as well as easing up on mentions of giant mechanical beasts. In other news, Bethesda's Starfield may finally be giving fans what they want: the ability to fly between planets. Although not officially announced, the new 'feature' won't be exactly like No Man's Sky's key feature of letting you take off from a planet's surface, fly into space, through the atmosphere of another planet, and onto that surface without an obvious loading screen. Starfield is getting a PS5 port sometime next year, and could see some new feaures added, like the aforementioned 'flying between planets' ability. And finally, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is promsing BioShock 4 will come out, despite recent news that the game had failed an internal review after years of development.

EP 162 - SONY DEMANDA A TENCENT! y se van multiplataformas
Earlier this year, Chinese publisher Tencent revealed a new project so shameless that it belies belief. It's called Light of Motiram, and it's no exaggeration to say that it's a pound-for-pound carbon copy of PlayStation's vaunted Horizon franchise. It crossed the line to such an extent that Sony is suing Tencent over it, packing fascinating evidence that this title was likely intended to be Horizon all along. Is Tencent dead-to-rights? Other news this week includes likely massive overreaction to PlayStation's hiring of a cross-platform manager, updates on Amazon's God of War TV project, Xbox's dominance of PS5 sales chart with rumors of more to come, Warner Bros. dipping its toes back in the games-as-a-service space, fresh PS+ offerings, and more. To round things out, we then go to listener inquiries, as always. Is the original Metal Gear Solid overrated? What's happening with Insomniac's Wolverine project? Have payment processors gone too far in seemingly bullying the likes of Steam? Will Colin ever understand that Bob Dylan is still alive?

This week Sony is suing Tencent for making a blatant copy of their 'Horizon' game, WB Montreal apparently hasn't learned their lesson and is allegedly making a new live service game as their next project. Borderlands 4 on Switch 2 will run mostly around 30 FPS when it launches later this year. Splatoon Raiders is going to be a single-player game which we may get more details on very soon with a Nintendo Direct. #sony #tencent #horizon #wb #borderlands4 #splatoon #nintendodirect #allyoucangeek #podcast #aycg
En PlayStation, las cosas no andan del todo bien. En Sony andan un poco enojados por el nuevo juego de Tencent Games, Light of Motiram, ya que el juego es una calca de Horizon Zero Dawn. Por lo ya preparan una demanda por plagio. Además, nos preparamos de cara a Gamescom y revisamos los juegos que queremos durante el evento.
Sony is suing Tencent, they may have a case. Also, owning games could get you arrested, free games for August, Lollipop Chainsaw RePop, and fries with your Switch 2. All that plus more this week on the Game Fix Show. Follow us @GameFixShow
I just may, whaddya say? Comic-Con came and went this year, and maybe because the MCU and DCU were so muted, but there were still some good announcements. Xbox says game pass revenue is up, so is it profitable? Wolfenstein is heading to TV, and EA says no to $80. Air Bud is returning and I have serious questions, South Park takes time in its return, Star Trek goes all in on Comic Con, plus reviews of Happy Gilmore 2 and Fantastic Four!

Sony says Tencent has ripped off one of their biggest games. Microsoft wants to get ahead of the whole AI browser thing. Are rate limits coming for AI usage as some people are using AI too much?

In a week full of news, there are standouts from each of the big three. A job listing includes Sony, multiplatform, and both Xbox and Nintendo? What's this all about, and does it really mean Sony is going to join Microsoft in bringing more of its games to more places? Or is this really just an extension of the live service initiative? Sean and Marc discuss the possibilities and do PlayStation fans need to get ready for the console wars to truly be meaningless? On the Xbox side of things, a major about-face comes as a surprise as the push towards $80 games is no more, at least for the time being, with the announcement that Outerworlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, and the rest of Xbox's holiday slate will go back to being $70. Will this spur a big batch of preorders for these games? Or should Microsoft have stuck to the original plan? Nintendo also got a major sales data boon as the Nintendo Switch 2 sold 1.6 million in the United States alone. Mario Kart World also performed super well, and even third-party titles like Deltarune, Cyberpunk 2077, and Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma had standout numbers. Not to mention, the Pokémon Presents had some interesting reveals for what's out now and what's to come in the future. Plus, Sean has spent even more time with Donkey Kong Bananza, Sony sues Tencent over copying the Horizon series, the Elden Ring franchise just keeps making bank, Final Fantasy Tactics is actually a remake for an interesting reason, a Star Wars Outlaws sequel got canceled, and much more!
