The Gi crew assemble to give their week 2 update on Crimson Desert, $900 PS5's, the March 2026 Xbox Partner Preview, the Mario Galaxy movie expectations and more.

Nintendo cuts console shipments, Epic Games lays off 1,000 employees, John and Ryan build an Elite 8 of gaming's best consoles, and Yo! Noid hits the Inflation Deflation hot seat. This week on The Game Deflators, John and Ryan dive into one of the most turbulent news cycles the gaming industry has seen in months. Things kick off with Nintendo's decision to reduce console shipments, a move tied to a cooling global video game market. From there, the conversation turns to the week's biggest shockwave: Epic Games laying off 1,000 employees.  Then it's time for the main event: The Elite 8 Console Bracket. John and Ryan pit generations of iconic hardware—from the SNES and Sega Genesis to the PS2, Xbox 360, and PS3—against each other in a heated showdown to determine which system truly defined gaming greatness. Expect nostalgia, debate, and a few upsets. To wrap things up, the Inflation Deflation Challenge returns with a retro twist as the guys revisit Yo! Noid on the NES. Is this Domino's‑mascot platformer a hidden gem or a relic priced purely on novelty? They break down gameplay, collectability, and current market value. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 02:30 Elite Eight Bracket Breakdown 05:24 Game Pickups and Board Games 08:28 Current Gaming Experiences 11:31 Nintendo Switch 2 Production Insights 14:17 Epic Games Layoffs and Future Directions 29:42 Navigating Layoffs and Severance Packages 31:14 The Evolution of Fortnite and Gaming Trends 32:04 The Rise and Fall of Live Service Games 32:45 Marathon's Performance and Industry Impact 35:03 Elite Eight: Gaming Console Showdown Begins 35:26 Super Nintendo vs. Sega Genesis: A Classic Rivalry 36:47 PS1 vs. N64: The Battle of Generations 51:19 PS2 vs. GameCube: The Console Wars Continue 59:44 PS3 vs. Xbox 360: The Final Showdown 01:07:23 Battery Life and Controller Convenience 01:08:42 User Interface Evolution in Gaming 01:10:07 Console Showdown: PS1 vs. Super Nintendo 01:10:58 Nostalgia and Cultural Impact of Gaming 01:14:10 Backwards Compatibility and Console Legacy 01:16:54 Game Review: Yonoid and Its Challenges 01:23:06 Final Thoughts and Future Themes 01:28:40 Outro Video   Find us on TheGameDeflators.com   Twitter - www.twitter.com/GameDeflators Facebook - www.facebook.com/TheGameDeflators Instagram - www.instagram.com/thegamedeflators   The views and opinions expressed on this channel are solely those of the author.

Sony has raised the price of the PlayStation 5 again—pushing the base model to $649 and the Pro to $899. It's the second major price increase in under a year, and it's happening at a point in the generation where prices are supposed to fall, not rise. Meanwhile, Microsoft delivers a strong Partner Preview, resets its messaging under Asha Sharma, and may be exploring a new lower-cost Game Pass tier. We also break down Project Helix and what it reveals about Xbox's next-gen strategy. Plus: Crimson Desert impressions, retro collection discussions, and why gaming across the board is starting to feel more expensive than ever.

Read transcriptLook,  We've seen a lot of comic-based video games in my time, but when a mafia hitman gets murder powers from an eldritch shadow monster so he can take vengeance on, well, everybody, you know we've entered elite storytelling territory. The Darkness isn't here to make you feel good about humanity. It's here to make you ask if you'd trade your soul for a pair of talking demon heads who love street lamps way too much. This week, we're diving into The Darkness on PS3 and Xbox 360, that moody, gritty, and surprisingly heartfelt adaptation of the classic Top Cow comic series. And joining us for the chaos? None other than Sarah of Mars. Yes, that Mars. Because let's be real: if you're dealing with an ancient, malevolent cosmic force, you might as well bring in someone from a planet that already knows about hostile takeovers of a planetary variety. So get comfy (preferably not in the subway tunnels of New York with a swarm of writhing demons), because we're unpacking love, loss, corruption, and whatever dark surprises the game decided to throw at us just for kicks. Oh, and if your shadow starts talking back… maybe turn off the console. Learn such things as: How long did it take Chris to realize that the British band wasn't going to show up? Which band do you associate Mike Patton with, and is it the same band that makes the most sense to match with this character? Do you have to follow the source material to get a game that really feels correct? And so much more! You can find Sarah on BlueSky @sarahofmars.bsky.social, on that old blog Now I Write, and sometimes as a guest on Super Deluxe GamesCast.

We do start talking about retro computing with the Commodore 64 Ultimate - especially navigating BBS's in 2026 and how they differ from the standard internet we are used to today. "Major Nelson" Larry Hryb, formerly of Xbox and Unity, has joined Commodore as a Community Development Advisor. Zen Studios announced that their line of Zen Pinball software is being renamed, and that World Cup Soccer is being delisted at the end of March. EA has laid off a number of developers that worked on Battlefield 6 despite it breaking records - reportedly because it didn't break the records by enough. Then we talk to Jamie from OLR about why you should play World Cup Soccer Pinball.

Podcast #595: Sony just announced major PS5 price increases taking effect April 2nd, 2026 and that's got a lot of console buyers taking a second look at Xbox. We're breaking down exactly how the numbers compare across the Xbox Series S, Series X, and the PS5 lineup, and what this shift means if you're thinking about jumping into current-gen gaming. We also got official confirmation this week that the "This Is An Xbox" marketing campaign has been retired. New Xbox boss Asha Sharma made the call, and Microsoft confirmed it with a formal statement. It's a notable moment for the brand, and we're talking about what it signals for Xbox's direction going forward.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.

In 2021, Sad Cat Studios announced REPLACED during one of Microsoft's Xbox showcases. The reveal immediately put the title on players' list of most-anticipated titles thanks to its striking visuals and narrative premise in a unique dystopian world. Fast forward to today, when the game is less than one month away from release as part of the Atari family following the acquisition of Thunderful Publishing. This came as great news to me, as it opened the opportunity to chat with Sad Cat Studio's co-founders Yura Zhdanovich (game director) and Igor Gritsay (composer), all about the game and their journey from conception to release. Sure, we cover the game itself, but we also drill down into the lessons learned as a first-time developer, what it's like finding a publisher, and so much more.

In 2015, Satya Nadella said that he wanted users to love Windows. But Microsoft has only enshittified Windows more aggressively since then. Paul wrote a book. And now Microsoft says it's changed, baby, and it's serious this time. Here's what was said ... and what was not said.A Timeline Early signs of positive change: Rust in the Windows kernel, numerous new security features in Windows 11 - "two sides" of Windows, the engineering side and the "let's push AI at all costs/UX" side - more recently, Baseline Security Mode and User Transparency and Consent announcement Last September, Pavan Davuluri took over Windows and reorganized the business immediately, bringing Server/Core back in-house In December, Paul saw the first signs of positive changes in OneDrive, while not perfect, a major step back from the enshittification there. It took a few months to understand exactly what changed. In January, there are over one billion Windows 11 users. Davuluri first mentions a push for quality in 2026 - "pain points" In February, Nadella announced leadership changes that included people directly in charge of security and engineering quality Now, Microsoft has announced that it will address (some of) the complaints about Windows 11, and this includes performance and reliability improvements across the board Microsoft said it will Let you move the Taskbar to other screen edges, finally Improve File Explorer performance Make changes to how users to skip Windows Updates (vaguely) Make improvements to Widgets (but what about the quality problem?)

Dvorak (Mimi on No Agenda) - Family backup! Market Update - Small-Caps taking the brunt of the selling - Russell 2000 small-caps are down 10% from their high - an official correction -- Interestingly the R2000 is still up this year by about 2% - Stocks up on Monday after President Trump says intense negotiations over weekend and postpones targeted attacks for 5 days (after giving a 48 hour ultimatum) Manipulation? Say it ain't so... - Dateline Monday morning... - Futures took a leg down pre-market - even after Friday (after close) President Trump said he was looking to wind down the Iran affair - At around 6:50 a.m. in New York, S&P 500 e-Mini futures trading on the CME recorded a sharp and isolated jump in volume. - A similar pattern was observed in oil markets. - Roughly 15 minutes later, at 7:05 a.m., Trump posted a market-moving announcement about Iran on Truth Social. - Futures on DJ up 1,000 and oil down 89% --- Were there really conversations and negotiations over the weekend? A Few Leftovers that need to be discussed Private Credit Again - All of a sudden they are admitting there is a problem..... - Blackstone Inc. approved redemptions of a record 7.9% from its flagship private credit fund, totaling about $3.8 billion. - Redemption requests have increased across multiple private credit funds in recent quarters. - Investor unease is being driven by concerns over the private credit asset class, particularly exposure to software companies vulnerable to AI disruption. - According to Hugh Chung, CIO of Endowus, Blackstone's experience suggests these concerns are asset-class wide, not limited to a small group of managers. - Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan warned that a shakeout is coming for private credit firms, driven by rising defaults on loans to software companies. - Rowan emphasized that the shakeout is unlikely to be short-term, calling it foreseeable and predictable, and underscoring the importance of disciplined underwriting and strong risk management. - He argued that investors should prefer having credit risk reside within private markets firms, rather than on bank balance sheets backed by government-insured deposits, which can amplify systemic risk. - LATEST: Apollo is curbing redemptions from one of their biggest Private Credit funds. Michael Gayed: Private credit default rate just hit 9.2%. That's higher than 2008 bank loan peaks. $1.8 trillion in assets, $100B in secondary liquidity. 18:1 mismatch PRIVATE CREDIT More OpenAI Funding - Amazon invested $50 billion, Nvidia invested $30 billion and SoftBank invested $30 billion in the round, OpenAI said in a release Friday. - The investment boosts OpenAI to a $730 billion pre-money valuation, which marks a big jump from its $500 billion valuation in a secondary financing in October. - The will use some of the money to expland and buy more chips and cloud from NVDA and AMZN (? Circular?) MORE ON THE CIRCULAR SHAM - OpenAI said it is expanding its existing $38 billion agreement with Amazon Web Services by $100 billion over the next eight years. -  AWS will also serve as the exclusive third-party cloud distribution provider for OpenAI's enterprise platform Frontier, which it unveiled earlier this month. AI and Where we stand - Can we talk about Anthropic? Is the Government going to crush Claude? - What is our Go-to AI bots? - What stage are we at right now? LLMs > Infernce>Agentic - - What comes after Agentic Netflix OUT - Last week, Netflix exited the bidding for Warner Bros. Discovery after a competing bidder submitted a superior offer. - The decision followed pre-planned bidding scenarios, with co CEO Ted Sarandos saying the company knew exactly how to respond once the higher offer emerged. - Sarandos said the Paramount deal is likely to drive significant cost-cutting, including roughly $16 billion in reductions and thousands of job losses. - He emphasized that Netflix will continue investing in its business and explore new ways to collaborate with theater owners, rather than pursuing large acquisitions.| - Stock rose nicely on the news Tariff Refund Update - You are screwed.... -- Trump administration seems hell-bent on keeping our money Airlines - After a rather bullish commentary from Delta last week.... -  United Airlines is cutting more unprofitable flights over the next two quarters as it prepares for a prolonged period of high jet fuel prices due to the Iran war, even as strong travel demand has allowed U.S. carriers to raise fares. Chief Executive Scott Kirby said in a staff memo the airline is preparing for oil to rise as high as $175 a barrel and remain above $100 until the end of 2027. - At those levels, United's annual fuel bill would rise by about $11 billion, more than twice the profit it earned in its "best year ever," he said. - Ticket prices going up! Gas Prices - Have you seen diesel prices? - > $5 gallon on average across the U.S. -- Implications beyond --- Let's discuss the similarities to the 1973 oil embargo. (Barry switching license plates) - 1973–1974 ? Arab oil embargo (the classic “1970s oil embargo”) - 1979 ? Second oil shock caused by the Iranian Revolution (not an embargo, but another major supply shock) Even So - Fedex - FedEx Corp. raised its full-year profit forecast, with adjusted earnings expected to be $19.30 to $20.10 a share for the fiscal year. - The company's shares climbed after the announcement, with the stock advancing about 23% this year through Thursday's close. - FedEx does not expect the war in the Middle East to have a direct material effect on its business, but the broader consequences, including higher energy prices and volatile shipping patterns, are adversely affecting the global economy. - In fact, company raised its full year outlook..... --- Not a material effect??? Bad People - SuperMicro Co-Founder Charged! - Super Micro shares sank 28% last Friday after U.S. prosecutors charged three people linked with the company, including its co-founder, with helping smuggle billions of dollars worth of AI technology to China. (NVDA chips) - The U.S. Justice Department charged Super Micro co-founder Yih-Shyan Liaw, sales manager Ruei-Tsang Chang, and contractor Ting-Wei Sun with running a scheme to route U.S.-made servers through Taiwan to Southeast Asia. - The defendants allegedly used a Southeast Asian company as a middleman to place orders for high-end servers containing restricted Nvidia H200 and Blackwell chips. The equipment was then repackaged into unmarked boxes and diverted to China. - To evade U.S. audits and customs inspections, the individuals allegedly created thousands of "dummy" servers and used a hair dryer to remove and reattach serial number labels from genuine servers to the fake ones. --- Soooo, only 3 people did all of this? Amazon Phone - Amazon's new phone project codenamed 'Transformer' - Focus on AI integration, Alexa features, and mobile personalization - Here is what we know: -------It is a smartphone, not a wearable or accessory - It is AI-centric, with Alexa deeply integrated - It is meant to act as a personalized, always-on gateway into Amazon's ecosystem (shopping, Prime Video, Prime Music, services like Grubhub) - It is being built inside Amazon's Devices & Services group by a skunkworks team called ZeroOne, led by former Xbox architect J Allard OpenClaw - Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says OpenClaw could be the next ChatGPT as AI shifts from answering questions to taking action. - Jensen said : Nvidia is building security around the technology with NemoClaw to enable safe and scalable adoption of AI agents. - Project OpenClaw: “It is now the largest, most popular, the most successful open-sourced project in the history of humanity,” - OpenClaw is an open-source autonomous AI agent platform that goes beyond traditional chatbots. -----Instead of answering questions, these agents can complete tasks, make decisions, and take actions with minimal input from users. - Use case: Prompt to study images of a kitchen, learn design tools, iterate ideas to learn how to design a kitchen ------- Jensen says: “Every carpenter can now be an architect. Every plumber will become an architect. We are going to elevate the capabilities of everyone” ---- What happens to the architects? Something.... - One of the hardest hit countries in all of this mess has been South Korea - ~70% of South Korea's crude oil imports come from the Middle East - Most of that oil transits the Strait of Hormuz - Margin calls kicked in as high margin debt with heavy retail participation - Won weakened sharply (17-year low) - Korea economy is dependent on global demand and stable energy prices - South Korea often leads sell-offs as it is the purest RISK ON market in Asia ---- SOOOOO, if this thing ends quickly, there is a potential of EWY to move up again....     Love the Show?

In this episode of PS This is Awesome!, Fred is BACK! (if briefly) to discuss Resident Evil Requiem.For the news this week, the guys run through a packed lineup of PlayStation news, starting with growing anticipation for Marvel's Wolverine as Sony appears to be gearing up for a proper reveal soon. They also spend time on Crimson Desert, discussing both the developers' response to criticism over clunky controls and concerns about the game's performance mode on base PS5, with agreement that it needs more polish before release.The conversation then shifts to Housemarque's Saros, which is positioned as a more accessible evolution of Returnal, with the hosts debating whether dialing back the roguelike difficulty is a good move. They also touch on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 taking inspiration from Gran Turismo 7 for its upcoming PSVR2 mode, highlighting how PlayStation's VR efforts are influencing even first-party Xbox titles.Finally, the episode wraps with discussion around Mark Cerny's comments on PS6, focusing on Sony's continued push for major graphical advancements and what that could mean for the next generation of PlayStation hardware.Visit www.patreon.com/psthisisawesome to support the show and help us continue producing the content you love!Please, if you enjoyed the content — or even if you didn't quite enjoy this one — come back.

In this episode, host Mark Ledlow is joined by Scott Ware, a senior recruiter at Amazon and former Microsoft recruiter who supported 11 Xbox organizations, about transitioning to Amazon just before COVID-19 sent employees remote and extended work-from-home into January. Ware explains Amazon's leadership culture, his role hiring product leaders across about 15 consumer organizations, and notes large-scale hiring during COVID-19 (including tens of thousands of warehouse, delivery, and corporate roles) alongside smaller contractor adjustments such as DDSP layoffs. They discuss remote onboarding, productivity gains, and work-life balance.

After over a year of silence, Starfield's newest wave of content is here. The Dukes got to see things running behind the scenes and get a feel for Bethesda's new vision for the sci-fi RPG. It appears they're gearing up for more incremental updates rather than swinging in with a massive expansion pack each year. Between the Free Lanes update, Terran Armada, and the PlayStation 5 version, there's much for us to go over. Perhaps more of the hot button topic is what is transpiring within AI. This time, it arrives in the form of DLSS 5 and to say there was backlash would be an understatement. The sizzle reel that showed off this new technology on the likes of Starfield, Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil Requiem, and the like was openly mocked, reaching beyond the games industry. In fairness, some are hopeful that this technology could lead to better looking, cheaper games. Can it? Well, pull up a chair, friend. We have much to discuss.
