Elden Ring Nightreign is onder de motorkap nog altijd een échte Soulsborne, maar voegt in tegenstelling tot zijn voorgangers een compleet co-op-systeem, classes en rogue-like-elementen toe aan de bekende mix van zo'n beetje iedere FromSoftware-games. De focus ligt daarbij niet op een diepgaand en ambigbu verhaal, maar op zo snel mogelijk bazen verslaan met maximaal twee vrienden tegelijk om progressie te maken. Of dat (ook voor nieuwkomers in het Souldborne-genre) leuk is, bespreekt Joe van Burik met Niels Kooloos in deze Mini-Game-aflevering van All in the Game. Elden Ring Nightreign is nu te spelen op Windows PC, PlayStation 4 en 5, Xbox Series S en X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch en later dit jaar op de Nintendo Switch 2. Over All in the GameOnder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Hermans en universiteit docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont en Wesley Schouwenaars. Elke week hoor je minimaal één aflevering van All in the Game. Of juist meerdere, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames, in onze rubriek Main Game. En regelmatig laten we iemand van BNR Nieuwsradio aanschuiven om te vertelen over diens favoriete game van vroeger in de Retro-rubriek. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld. Zo hoor je bij All in the Game niet alleen wat je moet spelen - en op welk nieuwe (game)platform - maar kun je daar nog bewuster mee bezig zijn, over praten en natuurlijk van genieten. Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal. Gezamenlijk met talloze Nederlandse televisieprogramma’s, radioshows, games, websites, webvideo’s en podcast vormt dit materiaal de Nederlandse mediageschiedenis. Over Joe van BurikJoe van Burik is presentator, podcastmaker en techredacteur bij BNR Nieuwsradio. Je hoort hem bijna dagelijks in de Tech Update met het laatste nieuws over digitale technologie, en gaat daar in BNR Digitaal (samen met Ben van der Burg) elke woensdag dieper op in met gasten uit de techwereld.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's Daily Fix:CD Projekt wowed the internet after a Witcher 4 demo running on a base PS5 was showcased at an Unreal Engine 5 event. The've has since confirmed it's taking a "console-first" approach to the game, and though it may upset PC gamers, dev team CD Projekt RED has good reason. Cyberpunk 2077 was developed with high-end PCs in mind, and then scaled down for last-gen consoles PS4 and Xbox One. Cyberpunk 2077's launch on those platforms was a trainwreck, to say the least, and somethng CDPR wants to avoid for The Witcher 4. In other news, Borderlands 4's standard edition will not make the price jump to $80, instead launching at $70—likely in response to the absolute beating Gearbox's Randy Pitchford took online after his comments on a possible price hike for the game. And finally, Nintendo's Switch 2 is a hit, but a few Pokémon fans aren't having a great time after transferring—and losing—decades of Pokémon saved game progress.

Hello one and all, and welcome back to another episode of Mooglecast! With holiday trips, and schedules being all over the place we have yet another episode for you all where the normally scheduled hosts get shuffled up a bit. This month on Mooglecast Zac is joined by none other than Colin Kolhoven, from Trophy Talk and Surviving the Horror, to discuss a topic that doesn't get enough love in our community, Xbox. Both Zac and Colin have a long history with the ecosystem and consoles, dating back to the original Xbox released on November 15th 2001. It's here that our discussion begins, with the first Xbox console, why we were (or weren't) drawn to it, and what came next. For many trophy hunters, the notion of chasing digital completion lists came with the advent of Xbox 360 in 2005. Xbox for all intents and purposes introduced the world to the notion of "completing" games with achievements that offered in game challenges, a cumulative point system, and a way to brag to your friends and online communities. It seems so strange then that Xbox, which started out it's first two generations so strongly with behemoths like Halo, Gears of War, Morrowind, and Fable, quickly fell from grace in the Xbox One era, and into the early portions of the current gen. As of late though that story has started to change. With multiple massive acquisitions over recent years, Xbox has started to hit it's cadence with regular AAA releases and a plethora of new offerings constantly coming to Game Pass. In essence then, Zac and Colin do their best here to discuss the past, the present, and the future of what Xbox may hold in store. Does its alternate ecosystem to PlayStation perhaps offer a welcome reprieve from constant trophy hunting, and a glimpse into a way that we used to all enjoy games? Maybe so. For context on the current state of Xbox and the future, the boys also go over some of their favorite announcements from the recent Xbox showcase in June of 2025 comparing that shows style and substance with the most recent Sony State of Play. Lastly, as with any Mooglecast episode you can expect updates on The Record, Platinum Shout outs, and a meaty section centering on what we've been playing. We hope that you enjoy the show. Thank you for listening, and be excelling to one another!

A lot of stuff happened this past weekend, so I spend a little time talking about the few things that stood out to me, including the ROG Xbox Ally, the bait and switch Resident Evil 9 announcement, and the reveal of a very cool-looking new game: There Are No Ghosts at the Grand. Of course, if you're sick of hearing about Summer Game Fest and all that nonsense, there's always what I've been playing, this week with Section 13, Trident's Tale, Spirit of the North 2, Keeper's Toll, and Bunny Cubed. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

With the Nintendo Switch 2 officially released and one in-hand, I give my first impressions on what it's like using the console (very sparingly) and why the Switch 2 Pro controller is a noticeable upgrade over the previous model. If that's not enough excitement, I also talk about the recent PlayStation State of Play and the surprising game that stood out to me most--spoilers: it's Shakespearean. Of course, if those topics don't tickle your fancy, there's always what I've been playing, this week with Starlight Legacy, Polterguys: Possession Party, NanoApostle, Detective From The Crypt, Is This Game Trying to Kill Me?, and Mortisomem. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day. (And if you haven't already, or are a listener and not a watcher, please like, subscribe, hit the bell, and all that jazz; it may not seem like much, but it goes a long way in helping support the show and site in general. I would appreciate it greatly.)

Based on feedback from last week this might just be a car podcast now, but we also discuss the Switch 2 launch news that's starting to trickle out, Brad's deep dive into Elden Ring Nightreign, details on EA's cancelled Black Panther game, new footage from The Witcher 4, some questionably timed State of Play predictions, and more.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is less than a week away now and we know what to expect at launch and a bit of what to expect for the rest of 2025--Donkey Kong Bonanza in July and Pokémon Legends: Z-A in October--but there's still a lot of empty space for games already announced--Kirby Air Riders and Metroid Prime 4--and maybe some unannounced games too, so with that, let's talk about what wishes and predictions we have for Switch 2 in 2025. Of course, if that topic doesn't tickle your fancy, there's always what I've been playing, this week with Blades of Fire, Maniac, Copycat, and Deep Deep Deep Nightmare. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

Believe it or not, but this forgotten game was one of the games that inspired Attack the Backlog. I still remember thinking it looked so cool on PlayStation 4, but never getting around to it because I was all-in on Xbox One to start that generation. By the time I got a PlayStation 4, it felt like the moment had passed and I might as well wait for a hopeful Xbox One port. Fast-forward four years and it would finally make its way to Xbox, Switch, and Vita and...I still didn't play it. Now, some seven years later, I've finally scratched Mercenary Kings off my backlog and, sadly, it couldn't help but disappoint with repetitive and tedious missions, weird customization choices, and occasionally frustrating difficulty spikes.

With the announcement of difficulty options coming to Lies of P in an update alongside its upcoming DLC, I figured it was a perfect time to bring back one of my favorite topics: should Souls games (or any game for that matter) have difficulty option? Of course, if that topic doesn't tickle your fancy, there's always what I've been playing, this week with Undivine, Spellcaster University, Knight's Night!, Super Engine GT Turbo SPEC, Royal Romances: Endless Winter, Red Solstice 2: Survivors, and Drug Dealer Simulator. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day. (And if you haven't already, or are a listener and not a watcher, please like, subscribe, hit the bell, and all that jazz; it may not seem like much, but it goes a long way in helping support the show and site in general. I would appreciate it greatly.)

The main topic of this week's episode is: "What's the greatest gaming handheld of all time?" Is it the original Game Boy? The PlayStation Vita? The Switch? The N-Gage? I have my thoughts, of course, but I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks. Of course, if that topic doesn't tickle your fancy, there's always what I've been playing, this week with City Bus Manager, Mad Experiments: Escape Room, Mad Experiments 2: Escape Room, Beef Cat Ultra, and DAMN!. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

Happy Birthday, Xbox! Am 15. November 2021 wurde die erste Videospielkonsole von Microsoft 20 Jahre alt. Games Insider feiert dieses Ereignis mit einer feinen Unterstützerfolge, in der Sönke, Andy und Benedikt den Werdegang des für Microsoft kommerziell wenig erfolgreichen, aber für die Spieleindustrie wegweisendes Geräts im Detail beleuchten. Im ersten Podcast-Block blicken wir unter anderem auf die Vorgeschichte der Xbox, die erste Enthüllung auf der Game Developers Conference 2000 (die Sönke damals besucht hat), den USA-, Europa- und Japan-Start sowie das in vielerlei Hinsicht bahnbrechende Halo: Combat Evolved von US-Entwickler Bungie. Im zweiten Block beleuchten wir, wie der Start des Online-Dienstes Xbox Live Konsolen-Gaming nachhaltig verändert hat, wie Microsoft sich nach und nach die Unterstützung von immer mehr Third-Party-Studios sichern konnte und was die Faszination anfänglich Xbox-exklusiver Spiele wie Star Wars: Knights of the Republic, Ninja Gaiden und Fable noch heute ausmacht. Der dritte Block steht schließlich ganz im Zeichen des damals bevorstehenden Generationswechsels hin zur Xbox 360 nebst der der zahlreichen Hits, die in dieser Zeit noch erschienen sind. Unsere persönlichen Xbox-Favoriten, einige Geheimtipps sowie diverse Job-Anekdoten runden diese Episode schließlich gebührend ab. Viel Spaß beim Hören, Benedikt, Sönke & Andy

***J.K. Rowling is a TERF and a disappointingly terrible person, and while we at Collateral Gaming have enjoyed some of the fruits of her imagination during our lives, we do not agree with her transphobic worldview or condone her blatantly hateful expressions toward trans people. While not directly involved in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, we recognize that Rowling does stand to earn royalties from the game. Collateral Gaming also recognizes that trans identities are valid and remains in solidarity with our trans listeners.
