In episode 19 of (Pop) Cultural Marxism, Isi and Ajay are joined by fellow BISR faculty Joseph Earl Thomas to discuss Ghost of Yotei, Sucker Punch Productions' much-anticipated sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. To kick off the episode, Isi and Ajay chat about recent cultural news and highlights, from the Japanese government calling on OpenAI to refrain from using anime and manga as training data, to the #SwiftiesAgainstAI campaign, to Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another (2025). Turning to Ghost of Yotei, Isi, Ajay, and Joseph consider where the game succeeds (its strong start, visual beauty, sharp soundtrack, and the satisfying chunkiness and texture of its combat scenes) and where it doesn't (its loadout system, simplistic puzzles, dearth of opportunities for stealth mode, and social and political quandaries its narrative and design raise). They explore the films and television shows that influenced Yotei—from Lady Snowblood and Samurai Champloo to the films of Takashi Miike, Akira Kurosawa, and Sergio Leone) and ask whether and where the game successfully incorporates cinematic techniques and conventions into its storyline. Along the way, they discuss the game's dicey depiction of the Ainu and the colonization of Hokkaido, consider whether the pleasure of open-world gaming has diminished or transformed in the years between Yotei and Tsushima, and interrogate the shape of the game's revenge plot.

Bonus Episode #56 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Kyle dive deep into Ghost of Yotei, Sucker Punch's chilling follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima. Set amid the wilderness of Ezo, this cinematic action-adventure blends folklore, myth, and breathtaking visuals into one of the year's most atmospheric experiences. The guys share their impressions of how the game feels to play right from the opening hours, covering its sound design, pacing, and artistic direction while discussing how the world and mood are established. From there, the conversation moves into combat flow, exploration, progression, and how alive the world feels as you climb the shadowed slopes of Mount Yotei. We wrap up with thoughts on the soundtrack's tone and speculate about what might come next for the Ghost series. This is a laid-back, spoiler-light discussion for anyone curious about how Yotei builds on the legacy of Tsushima while forging a spirit all its own. Email the show at bgmaniapodcast@gmail.com with requests for upcoming episodes, questions, feedback, comments, concerns, or any other thoughts you'd like to share! Special thanks to our Executive Producers: Jexak, Xancu, Jeff, & Mike.

Fünf Jahre nach „Ghost of Tsushima“ serviert uns Sucker Punch Productions mit „Ghost of Yotei“ im Grunde genommen das gleiche Spiel, nur hier und da verfeinert. Reicht das aus? Macht das Spaß?

Sorry to say, no Alex today. We that remain will do our best.Chamberlain hates what he thought he would like, tolerates but eventually abandons what he thought he would hate, gets emotionally involved with a 4 legged lighthouse, then settles in with Ninja Gaiden 4, a game so difficult he can only play it sober. And Chance can't find a place to be comfortable, stating at least two play throughs of Resident Evil 4, one of Baldur's Gate 3 and even a multiplayer session of Ghost of Tsushima before giving up and just watching movies. 2025 may have peaked.

Met Floris op vakantie zit Erwin deze week aan de knoppen voor een chaotische aflevering van de Bright Podcast. Niet minder belangrijk overigens, want Samsung kondigde zijn Vision Pro-concurrent aan, Apple brengt de nieuwe M5 MacBook Pro en iPad Pro uit en we gingen al even aan de slag met de nieuwe line-up van Philips Hue. Luister op Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Omny of kijk (of luister) via YouTube . Of in je favoriete podcast-app natuurlijk! Verder in deze aflevering: Uitgevers komen in actie tegen de AI-samenvattingen van Google, Netflix gaat steeds meer op AI leunen, de Prolo Ring is een opvallend alternatief voor de computermuis, Elon Musk dreigt met een vertrek bij Tesla en zet een opvallend verdienmodel op voor X, en Apple brengt met iOS 26.1 een opvallende instelling naar je iPhone.

Note: We had audio issues with this podcast. You may hear a low buzzing sound. We had a card reader interfering with our camera and therefore the audio is not our normal quality. We will check more closely next time!---Battlefield 6 is back! We are thrilled that Battlefield is back and that it seems to be delivering a quality experience out of the box. We're having a blast with multiplayer finding the game truly delivers on those Battlefield moments, while tightening gameplay fixing a lot of the issues people had with Battlefield 2042. We also try the campaign and talk about our limited time with Battlefield Portal.Austin beats Borderlands 4 and talks about the ending (no spoilers) as well as what happens in the end game. Is it worth playing through to the end to grind at the end or does it leave much to be desired?Jason beats Ghost of Yōtei after 60 hours of game time. He loved the game and enjoyed playing through but the question remains...does it outshine Ghost of Tsushima or does it fail to hit the mark? Listen to find out!Brett jumps into the server slam for Arc Raiders. Arc Raiders is a new extraction shooter from Embark Studios, creators of The Finals. This game feels very different but has the same level of polish The Finals had that has Brett excited to visit this world. The game is very challenging but this time jumping in with random people made it a bit more approachable. The game releases Oct 30th and Brett will definitely be diving in!Lastly, we have a unique conversation about credit card companies. News has recently cropped up about Visa and Mastercard stepping into the moderation game by blocking usage of their platform for certain platforms basically if they don't comply with their rules. We don't think credit card companies should turn to moderation, that's not their responsibility. It's happening and we fear this is a slippery slope for them being able to block more things if it doesn't align with them.

Time sure is moving, but has a sufficient amount of it passed for us to start considering the next generation of PlayStation console? According to two reliable leakers, the answer is yes: Sony is very much aiming to get PS6 out in 2027. This makes sense by historical standards -- seven years between consoles is fairly normal, if not even a little slow -- but it really doesn't feel like we need this thing. Or do we? By 2027, who knows what our ecosystem might look like. Let's discuss! Plus: Legendary Tecmo director and producer Tomonobu Itagakai has sadly passed away, Sony-owned studio Bluepoint is hiring for a mysterious third-person action project, San Diego Studio appears primed to finally bring its smash-hit MLB: The Show series to PC, Ghost of Yotei is selling at parity with Ghost of Tsushima, we could have very easily gotten a mobile The Last of Us game, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Do we like to partake in New Game+, when applicable? With Xbox's displacement as a hardware competitor, is Sony and Nintendo's long-standing rivalry primed to be reignited? Why don't we talk more about the fighting scene? Will Dustin regale us with some of his Japanese language skills?

Cinq ans après Ghost of Tsushima, Sucker Punch revient avec Ghost of Yōtei, une suite plus sombre, plus violente, et toujours aussi somptueuse.On y incarne Atsu, une jeune femme prête à tout pour traquer les Yōtei Six, dans une aventure où la beauté du Japon du Nord contraste avec la brutalité du sabre et la soif de vengeance.Mais la vraie question, c'est : est-ce que cette suite réussit à renouveler la formule ?Est-ce qu'on tient le nouveau chef-d'œuvre du genre, ou juste un joli copier-coller de Tsushima avec un peu plus de neige ?On verra ainsi ce que le jeu apporte de neuf…Et bien sûr, on fera le parallèle avec Assassin's Creed Shadows, sorti en début d'année, qui lui aussi racontait une histoire de vengeance, mais avec une approche & une réalisation différente.Alors, lequel aura la lame la plus affûtée ?Réponse dans ce nouvel épisode des Darons du Game.Et cette saison, petite nouveauté : on confronte aussi le jeu à l'Ethic Game Score, notre agent IA maison.Ethic Games évalue l'éthique des pratiques du studio pendant le développement (conditions, politique commerciale, impact environnemental…) et la durabilité du jeu : support physique, dépendance en ligne, conservation à long terme.Tout ça se traduit par une note sur 20, avec des sources publiques et vérifiables. Et si vous voulez vous amuser à le faire vous-mêmes, le test est disponible pour tous les jeux récents.(Attention c'est un agent IA qui est succeptible d'évoluer au fil des mises à jour et les résultats associés peuvent varier selon la date de la requête.)

Det är avsnitt 500! Vi firar med bubbel och en massa spelsnack. Avsnitt 500 är inte ett liveavsnitt - men det kommer! I väntan på det dricker vi lite bubbel och pratar spelnyheter: bland annat om ett Assassin's Creed-spel som lagts ned, att fler spel än någonsin släpps men färre personer köper många spel och att Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 har sålt över 5 miljoner exemplar. Vi snackar också om den nya Star Trek-serien, Starfleet Academy, den kommande Game of Throne-serien A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, att Sigourney Weaver verkar återvända till Alien-universumet och att DC Comics meddelar att de aldrig kommer att använda generativ AI för att skapa serietidningar. Vidare har Tove spelat lite Ghost of Yotei, uppföljaren till Ghost of Tsushima, medan Niklas har sett ett par avsnitt av den fjärde kampanjen i Critical Role samt thriller-skräck-komedin Death of a Unicorn. Tack & Förlåt! Puss Hej!

If you're a regular purchaser of games, you're a stark minority within the very industry you know and love. We've known all about the revenue-related trends directing games as of late, but recent data indicates things are far more dire than they seem, particularly if you're a single player purist. For instance, a third of gaming consumers purchase less than one game a year; 12% buy one game a year; 18% buy two games a year. Only 14% of players buy at least one game a month! Yet, there's more money flowing than ever. Like, lots more. What gives? A migration of customers and their habits, of course! We discuss. Other news this week includes a brief Mark Cerny video celebrating Sony's collaboration with AMD for PlayStation 6, the reemergence of Marathon with invites to an NDA'd closed test, the bluest DualSense controller you could possibly imagine, rumors of a cancelled Reconstruction-era Assassin's Creed, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Could Sony be on the precipice of adding to its family of first party studios? Is there a potential unfilled niche for medical-themed titles? Does PlayStation need to spin-up a new loyalty program? Forget about your favorite color. What's your favorite shape?

Hallo Freunde fürs Extraleben!Mit Ghost of Yotei ist vor kurzem der Nachfolger zu Ghost of Tsushima und der große Playstation First Party-Titel für diesen Herbst erschienen. Wie letzte Woche versprochen, haben wir diese Episode erste Eindrücke, weil zumindest Daniel sich ins ferne Japan begeben hat und ordentlich Gegner mit dem Katana verschleißt. Manuel hat derweil Silent Hill F beendet und das gibt uns Gelegenheit, schlussendlich auch mal über die Story des Spiels zu reden und diese zu bewerten.In den Nachrichten aus der Spielebranche gab keine Hammer, wie in der Episode zuvor. Aber eine Umfrage von Cortana zum Kaufverhalten von Spielern in den USA sorgt bei uns für Staunen und viele Fragen. Des Weiteren: Playstation muss geplante Konzerte in den USA absagen und lässt (vermutlich) mehr Infos zur Technik in der PS6 aus dem Sack, während Ubisoft mal wieder für fragwürdige Schlagzeilen sorgt.Viel Spaß!Dies und das04:14 Ergänzungen/Korrekturen zu den Gamepass-ÄnderungenWas wird denn hier gespielt?23:59 Daniel hat erste Eindrücke zu Mario Galaxy 1 & 247:59 Ein letztes mal: Manuel hat Silent Hill F beendet und wir reden über die Story (Spoiler)1:16:26 Daniel spielt Ghost of YoteiNachrichten aus der Spielebranche1:45:45 Cortana-Umfrage zum Kaufverhalten von Spielern2:00:21 Playstation-Konzerte in Amerika werden abgesagt2:09:29 Playstation und AMD teilen weitere Infos zum „Project Amethyst“2:23:23 Ubisoft kündigt freien dlc für Assassins Creed Mirage an (finanziert durch Saudi-Arabien)…2:31:10 …aber cancelt ein Spiel, das ihnen zu kritisch scheint2:44:21 Marathon kehrt zurück2:50:10 Mina the hollower wird kurzfristig verschoben2:55:38 Claire Obscure: Expedition 33 ist ein großer Verkaufserfolg und bekommt dlcExtrafreunde@social.colognehttps://www.facebook.com/Extrafreundehttps://www.instagram.com/extrafreundeffelpodcast@gmail.comhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGusrYncNi-relSm6YC8k7Q

This week's big release is Ghost of Yotei, which brings back one of our favorite features from its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima: the adorable foxes that lead you to Inari Shrines. These furry friends are essentially collectibles, which got us thinking about other games that let you collect animals. After that, we give our impressions of Ghost of Yotei and other big new releases, including The Super Mario Galaxy Collection, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, and Digimon Story: Time Stranger. Then we talk about that Nintendo teaser animation and other news of the week. Question of the Week: What is a spin-off game that got you into the main series? Break Song is "Animal" by Pearl Jam Vidjagame Apocalypse theme by Matthew Joseph Payne.

Puedes votarnos en 5 segundos a los premios Ivoox 2025 https://go.ivoox.com/wv/premios25?c=3739 🎮 Rejugando 274: “Ghost of Yōtei y el chiringuito” El episodio 274 de Rejugando llega cargado de contenido, humor y análisis del bueno. RaffaValencia, junto a Mike, Eva Farto y el resto del equipo, se mete de lleno en la actualidad del videojuego con un programa que mezcla crítica, nostalgia y ese toque de humor apaleable. El plato fuerte del episodio es, sin duda, el análisis de Ghost of Yōtei, el nuevo bombazo de Sucker Punch que promete ser uno de los grandes lanzamientos del año. Rafa y Mike desgranan con detalle cómo el juego consigue superar a su predecesor, Ghost of Tsushima, gracias a su ambientación espectacular, una historia más emocional y un sistema de combate más táctico y variado. El programa compara ambos títulos con ejemplos muy visuales: Ghost of Yōtei es descrito como un “Red Dead Redemption japonés”, con un apartado gráfico deslumbrante, un Japón de 1603 recreado con mimo, y una protagonista que ya se ha ganado un hueco entre los grandes personajes del año. 🕹️ Más allá de Yōtei: actualidad, polémicas y humor marca de la casa Pero Rejugando 274 no se queda solo en los análisis. El equipo también comenta algunas de las noticias más sonadas de la semana: El cierre de Pendulo Studios, uno de los estudios españoles más veteranos, y lo que eso supone para la industria nacional. El éxito de Expeditions 33, que ya ha superado los cinco millones de copias vendidas y se perfila como uno de los grandes candidatos al GOTY. La eterna batalla entre físico y digital, que provoca un divertido debate entre los miembros del programa sobre el futuro del formato físico, los servicios como Game Pass y la dependencia de las suscripciones. La crisis en Ubisoft y la saga Assassin’s Creed, con el decepcionante estado actual de la franquicia y la cancelación de proyectos polémicos. Como siempre, el tono se mueve entre la risa, la crítica constructiva y la pasión por los videojuegos. Los presentadores no dudan en mojarse, debatir, y lanzarse dardos amistosos mientras desgranan lo último de la industria. 💬 El chiringuito gamer: debate, comunidad y espíritu Rejugando En la parte final, el episodio se convierte en un auténtico “chiringuito gamer”, con el equipo hablando sin filtros sobre el presente y el futuro del videojuego. Desde la saturación de secuelas hasta la creatividad de los estudios independientes, pasando por anécdotas personales, el programa brilla por su ritmo y naturalidad. Recuerda que Rejugando está nominado a los Premios iVoox a mejor podcast, invitando a la comunidad a votar y apoyar al programa. Proximamente sorteos, agradecimientos y la participación del equipo en el Congreso de PodGaming en Elche, donde haremos un programa en directo.

Where's everyone going? Space? This week, some opening thoughts on Ghost of Yotei, Sucker Punch's follow-up to one of the best games ever made, Ghost of Tsushima. This time, the player takes the role of Atsu, who sets out to find the Yotei Six in 1600s Ezo. We've got spoiler-free thoughts on the first few hours, including mission and world design, combat mechanics, and the interesting flow of the game. We've got more Borderlands 4, with both of us having finished the campaign at this point. And yes, more Silent Hill f with Hinako's treacherous journey continuing. The Dark Souls of Silent Hill keeps getting more and more interesting as time goes on. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.
This week on The Inner Gamer, Brett and Jason share their first impressions of Ghost of Yōtei — the long-awaited follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima. You now play as Atsu, a warrior on a brutal quest for revenge against the Yōtei Six who murdered her family. The tone is darker, the world more open, and the storytelling more grounded. It's a different kind of Ghost game, but so far, we're loving the shift in direction.Brett also dives into the full 1.0 release of Hades II on the Switch 2. This sequel from Supergiant Games expands everything fans loved about the original — deeper combat, gorgeous art, and another gripping mythic story. If you're a roguelike fan, this is a must-play; if you're not, its repetition may still test your patience.Finally, we break down some major industry news. With rising game and console prices — including another Game Pass increase — gaming is getting more expensive than ever. And in a stunning move, Electronic Arts was acquired by Saudi Arabia for $55 billion, the largest deal in gaming history. We discuss what this could mean for players, studios, and the future of the industry as costs climb higher than ever.Show Notes:1:05 - Housekeeping3:09 - Ghost of Yōtei First Look: Hunting the Yōtei Six46:26 - Hades 2 First Look: Is It Worth the Loop?1:08:36 - Console Gaming Is Too Expensive — The Beginning of the End?1:37:25 - Inside the $55B EA Takeover — Risks, Opportunities, and What's Next1:59:37 - Upcoming Video Game Releases Become a part of the conversation!

Welkom bij GK Daily, de dagelijkse podcast van Gamekings. In pak-hem-beet twintig minuten nemen we de laatste ontwikkelingen met je door, zodat je het snel en makkelijk tot je kan nemen. Bijvoorbeeld als je onderweg bent naar je werk, je jezelf even verveelt of je in het zweet werkt in de fitness. JJ heeft deze keer Jasper uitgenodigd om het laatste nieuws met jullie door te nemen. De twee gaan praten over de tweede prijsverhoging van de Xbox in de VS binnen een paar maanden, de mogelijke komst van Ghost of Tsushima en Horizon Zero Dawn naar de Xbox en een onderzoek dat uitwijst dat gamen met inverted controle settings je meer secuur maakt. Dit en meer ga je zien en horen in de GK Daily van maandag 22 september 2025.De Xbox Series X wordt zo wel heel erg duurGK Daily is er op de doordeweekse dagen behalve op de vrijdag. Op die dag hebben we namelijk EvdWL. De uitgebreide podcast. In GK Daily praten we je in 20 minuten bij over wat er zich allemaal afspeelt in de wereld van videogames. Dat doen we in de bekende gezellige Gamekings stijl. In deze aflevering behandelen we het meest spraakmakende nieuws van de laatste dagen. Bijvoorbeeld de verrassende prijsstijging van de Xbox in de VS. De duurste Xbox series X wordt straks 799 dollar. Dat zijn toch onmogelijke prijzen voor een console? Is dit dus een slimme zet van Microsoft? Je krijgt het antwoord in deze video.Waar speelt de nieuwe God of War zich af?De twee kijken ook naar de mogelijk setting van de nieuwe God of War. Waar gaat Kratos dit keer met zijn bijlen en zwaarden zwaaien? En waarom kiezen sommige gamers voor een inverted instelling op hun controller? Hoe wordt dat bepaalt in je hersens en welke van de twee opties laat je beter gamen. Een nieuw onderzoek van Dr Jennifer Corbett en Dr Jaap Munneke van de Brunel Universiteit in London wijst dit uit. Hoe kijken de beide heren hier tegenaan?

We're back after our summer holidays and kicking off the second half of season 3 by looking at a particular Washington-based developer that we've looked at many times before, Sucker Punch Productions. After chatting about two-thirds of their raccoon trilogy on this very podcast, we're taking a look at something that is much more recent, much more grown-up, much more samurai. We're going back to 2020 to take a look at an open-world, action-adventure game set during the first Mongol invasion of Japan. We're talking Ghost of Tsushima.On this episode of Stealth Boom Boom, we chat a little bit about tourism, whether Akira Kurosawa mode is just a black and white filter and nothing more, and there's what some people are calling “a surprising amount of Infamous chat”, too. We also look at how they tried to balance authenticity with audience expectation, finishing a game during a global pandemic, and there's a heated discussion about wind.Here are some of the things you're gonna hear us chat about in our review: outrageously quick load times; stealth that encourages speed over patience; some very enjoyable, very familiar outpost-clearing; the power of Focused Hearing; loads of tall grass; the feeling of a sequel to Assassin's Creed 2; being hated by samurai as you fling kunai, wind chimes, and sticky bombs about; undercover Batman; sword-fighting that feels like accessible Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, whilst also engaging the player with a number of different things to consider; no lock on; announcing your arrival at the beginning of a fight; taking on one other opponent in a duel; running after foxes, slicing bamboo, and one or two other things that are absolutely everywhere on this very large map; an uninspired grappling hook; an island that is too big for some and the right size for others; Samuel Taylor Coleridge; Ishikawa's student; a plot that would've worked better in a more linear game; using Ghost tactics and feeling completely fine; and our clothing choices.After all that, we take you through what some of the critics were saying about the game around the time it came out, and then we give you our final verdicts on whether Ghost of Tsushima is a Pass, a Play, or an Espionage Explosion.For those who would like to play along at home, we'll be discussing, reviewing and dissecting Amnesia: The Dark Descent on the next episode of Stealth Boom Boom.IMPORTANT LINKS TO THINGS
With Ghost of Yōtei launching October 2nd, Nerd Legion is diving into the films and anime that inspired the game's haunted world. We begin with Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood (1957), a chilling reimagining of Macbeth that blends Noh theatre, samurai tragedy, and supernatural ghosts. In this episode, MonteCristo and DoA discuss:⚔️How Throne of Blood's fog, wind, and black-and-white style shaped Kurosawa Mode in Ghost of Tsushima (returning in Ghost of Yōtei)⚔️The fusion of Shakespearean tragedy with Japanese Noh theatre and its symbolism (Lady Asaji's mask-like stillness, the centipede banners, spinning horses)⚔️Kurosawa's legendary use of atmosphere and the unforgettable real-arrow death scene with Toshiro Mifune⚔️How the film's themes of cursed destiny and supernatural hauntings echo the mythic tone of Ghost of Yōtei
Natalie aka OhThatNatalie on socials joins from Canada as we get to talk about a number of her passions. While we start off strong with talk of tiramisu, we dive into one of our main topics - Books! Natalie talks about how she got back into reading, fanfiction, and what books she is drawn to now. She gives several recommendations (see links below), and we talk openly about how she shares her very personal reactions to some of the books she's read on her Instagram page. She talks about how she decides which books sit on shelves, and which books get boxed to be saved for later. Mixed in with that talk, we do delve into a little about hockey and how Natalie is a fan of the Carolina Hurricanes and how that came to be. We then jump over to video games and Twitch streaming. Natalie talks about how she first got into video games, and what kind of video games she is drawn to. Natalie talks about her start as a Twitch streamer, streaming The Sims 4, and eventually transitioning to story based games such as Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect, and Ghost of Tsushima, to recent Souls like games.

If you're tired of The Last of Us, well, it's really too bad. That's because Naughty Dog has updated The Last of Us: Part II yet again, this time with a so-called Chronological Mode that orders the game's chapters and subchapters sequentially. It's easy to mock this many updates, of course, but in reality, is Sony going above-and-beyond in keeping some of its older games alive? Shouldn't we applaud the years-long dedication to not only The Last of Us, but to God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone, Horizon, and others? We discuss. Then: Twisted Metal's second season on Peacock gets a new trailer, STALKER 2 is finally confirmed for PlayStation 5, Final Fantasy IX Remake may be in trouble, Capcom acknowledges Mega Man, and more. Plus: Listener inquiries! If we could only play a single game-as-a-service, which would it be? Could gaming be entering a more serious phase, as the industry finds itself fused more with education? Is it crazy to play sequels without having experienced the original? What are the percentage odds Colin is on the precipice of becoming a Kingdom Hearts superfan?
