EA Sports FC 27 is de nieuwste voetbalgame in de reeks die jarenlang bekendstond als FIFA, maar nu al enkele jaren niet meer. Wat echter níet is veranderd, is de beperkte hoeveelheid (daadwerkelijk geslaagde) vernieuwingen. Zelfs een open-spelwereldmodus stelt weinig voor. En toch willen voetbalfans dit gewoon weer spelen, zo hoort Joe van Burik van Donner Bakker en BNR-chefredacteur Yannick Eling in deze Mini-Game-aflevering van All in the Game. EA Sports FC 27 nu te spelen op Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4 en 5, Xbox One S en X en Series S en X, en Windows pc. Vragen? Mail ons! Op allinthegame@bnr.nlOver All in the GameAll in the Game is de podcast over games voor iedereen. Wanneer er iets speelt in de wereld van games, hoor je dat hier: spannende ontwikkelingen, boeiende onderzoeken en natuurlijk de nieuwste releases om te spelen op je PlayStation, Xbox, pc of welk platform dan ook.Onder 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, Ivo Klokman en Jeanne Heeremans. Elke week zijn er minimaal twee afleveringen van All in the Game. Of nog meer, 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 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 De Grote Tech Show (samen met Ben van der Burg) elke woensdag dieper op in met gasten uit de techwereld. Daarnaast maakt hij onder meer de podcast All in the Game, voor iedereen die meer wil horen over videogames.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Unisciti alla ribellione su Telegram – Iscriviti alla newsletter – Supportaci su Patreon La top 10 delle stronzate fatte dai CEO dei videogiochi. "Faranno due lavori pur di comprarla". Ken Kutaragi ha davvero detto questa minchiata, quando è stato svelato il prezzo di lancio di PS3. La cosa stronza è che due generazioni prima PlayStation aveva vinto tutto dicendo semplicemente "299" per presentare la sua prima console, in culo a SEGA. PS3 alla fine l'abbiamo comprata quando è arrivata pure lei a 299. Ma i veri minchioni siamo noi che oggi facciamo due o anche tre lavori per comprarci PS5. Oggi quasi non ci facciamo pare per l'Always Online. Don Mattrick invece è stato messo in croce quando è venuto fuori che la sua Xbox One senza connessione Internet potevi dartela nel culo. A una certa se ne è anche uscito con "se vuoi giocare offline puoi comprarti un'Xbox 360". Microsoft da Xbox One deve ancora riprendersi. Mattrick, nel frattempo, è andato a prendere un sacco di soldi come CEO di Zynga. Tu invece domani c'hai la sveglia alle 6. Benvenuto nel capitalismo. Wii U fu il disastro economico di Nintendo. Tanto che a fronte delle 13 milioni e mezzo di unità vendute Iwata si falciò lo stipendio per due anni. Non dello stesso avviso Reggie Fils-Aimé, convinto che i videogiocatori avrebbero rivalutato il valore del GamePad una volta messe le loro mani sopra. Si, peccato che quelle mani preferirono tenerle in tasca. Se vuoi approfondire, c'è il podcast. Altrimenti ti basta aspettare. Che di questi tempi è più facile sentire un CEO sparare una cagata che azzeccare un GaaS.
This week's episode features Mexican Ninja, BioEden, The Alighieri Circle: Dante's Bloodline, Honeycomb: The World Beyond, Shoe it All!, Dino Odyssey, and Dimensional Animals.
PlayStation dropped Kojima Productions' Physint... and Xbox picked it up. Nintendo showed the Ocarina of Time remake, and then went and announced a new 2D Metroid. Blizzard revealed a StarCraft shooter for 2030, Diablo V for 2029, and a forever version of World of Warcraft. Insomniac's Wolverine came out. Obviously this is a lot to talk about, and we do our best with all of it on this week's show!CHAPTERS(00:00:00) NOTE: Some timecodes may be inaccurate for versions other than the ad-free Patreon version due to dynamic ad insertions.

This week's episode features Fresh Tracks, iRacing Arcade, Apidya' Special, Super Woden Rally Edge, Dream Cage, and Order Automatica.
How do you preserve physical video games in a world increasingly designed around downloads? How much would you pay for a really good keyboard? And what exactly happens when you sort the Nintendo Switch store from cheapest to most expensive? Those questions—and several much stranger ones—come up on AwesomeCast 794 with Sorg, Katie Dudas, and Dave Podnar. Xbox Finds a New Use for the Game Disc One of the episode's biggest discussions centers on Microsoft's Xbox Discs to Digital initiative. The concept offers an interesting middle ground between physical and digital ownership. A supported Xbox disc can be authenticated and connected to a player's digital library, potentially giving players digital access while the disc itself continues to function as the transferable proof of ownership. That last part is important. If the disc is sold and authenticated by somebody else, the digital access moves with it. For Sorg, who has stacks of Xbox One games and a console with a failed optical drive, this could solve a very practical problem. It also opens possibilities for finding inexpensive used Xbox games at stores such as GameStop and turning them into accessible digital titles. There are still questions surrounding Xbox 360 compatibility, licensing, sports games, delisted games and publisher participation, but it is a fascinating attempt to bridge two very different eras of game ownership. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/08/26/your-discs-now-also-digital/?ocid=Platform_soc_omc_xbo_fb_Photo_lrn_8.26.2 Gamers Say They Want Physical Games. Are They Buying Them? That question carries directly into this week's ChachiSays Video Game Minute. Chachi points to figures showing U.S. spending on physical video games falling to levels not seen since physical-game statistics began being tracked in 1995. Nintendo represented a sizable portion of the remaining physical market. The contradiction is hard to ignore: gamers regularly criticize publishers for abandoning physical media, but those products need enough buyers to justify continuing to manufacture and distribute them. https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/console-gaming/us-console-sales-fall-39-percent-in-july-as-memory-costs-push-average-price-to-542 Generative AI Comes to Gamescom Chachi also discusses reports of generative AI being used during development of multiple titles connected to Gamescom 2026. The larger concern is not simply whether AI tools exist inside game development. The segment focuses on how companies disclose that use, what work the systems replace, and whether developers are being transparent with their audiences. Project Zeta, Aion 2, Train Sim World 7, Crimson Desert and Crazy Taxi: World Tour are among the games brought up during the discussion. https://kotaku.com/opening-night-live-2026-genai-slop-games-geoff-keighley-2000728477 Roku City Quietly Remembers Three Entertainment Icons Katie highlights a much more thoughtful use of technology: the little visual Easter eggs hidden inside Roku City. The screensaver incorporated imagery referencing Dolly Parton and Tim Curry along with an Optimus Prime-inspired tribute to Peter Cullen. That leads the crew into memories of Cullen's massive voice-acting career and the strange experience of realizing, years later, just how many familiar childhood characters were voiced by the same small group of performers. https://www.instagram.com/p/DcrPR8alYG3/?img_index=1 From Hubble to the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Dave's Awesome History segment turns toward NASA and astronomer Nancy Grace Roman. Roman played an important role in pushing space-based astronomy forward, helping lay the groundwork for what ultimately became the Hubble Space Telescope. The telescope carrying her name represents another enormous leap in what astronomers can observe. The hosts discuss its much wider field of view, the search for exoplanets, dark matter and dark energy, as well as the unusual orbital environments used by major observatories. https://www.planetary.org/articles/the-nancy-grace-roman-space-telescope-launch It's Already LEGO Advent Calendar Season Katie has an annual public-service announcement: if you want a particular Advent Calendar, buy it when you see it. LEGO's 2026 calendars are already appearing, including traditional Christmas offerings alongside Star Wars, Marvel and Disney sets. Waiting until December is how you end up frantically checking every store in town for the one calendar somebody decided they absolutely had to have. https://www.lego.com/en-us/search?q=advent%20calendar%202026&suggestion=true The $100,000 Keyboard Dave then discovers a corner of technology that makes even premium mechanical keyboards look inexpensive. A social video begins with keyboards priced in the hundreds of dollars, moves into models costing thousands, and eventually reaches one sitting around the $100,000 mark. At that point, calling something a “computer accessory” may no longer adequately explain what is happening. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1593262308558803 Brütal Legend Honors Tim Curry for 666 Minutes Double Fine found an extremely appropriate way to honor Tim Curry by making Brütal Legend free for 666 minutes. The Xbox 360-era heavy-metal adventure stars Jack Black and features Curry among its memorable cast. Sorg recently returned to the game and found that, despite showing its age in places, it remains surprisingly enjoyable. https://www.ign.com/articles/double-fine-productions-makes-brutal-legend-free-for-666-minutes-to-honor-tim-curry?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=6a905803b9a113000189638d&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook Donkey Kong Country: CGI From Another Time Speaking of things that have aged differently, Sorg rediscovers the computer-animated Donkey Kong Country television series from the late 1990s. The show provides an incredible time capsule of early television CGI: stiff animation, questionable lip synchronization and character models that can occasionally drift into nightmare territory. And yet there is something fascinating about seeing what creators were able to accomplish with 1990s rendering technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWpI4vahfIY Sort the Nintendo eShop From Cheap to Expensive. You Have Been Warned. There is another kind of digital archaeology available right now. Go to the Nintendo Switch store. Sort everything from lowest price to highest. Start scrolling. The result is a journey through inexpensive retro games, indie releases, zombie games, cat games, simulators, dating games, suspiciously AI-looking artwork and enough shovelware to keep the AwesomeCast crew entertained far longer than expected. There are legitimate bargains hiding in the pile—but finding them is part of the adventure. https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/sales-and-deals/#show=0&p=1&sort=pa&f=priceRangeFilter&priceRangeFilter=%240+-+%244.99 Commodore 64 Meets Cyberpunk The episode's final major retro-tech rabbit hole comes courtesy of a Cyberpunk-themed Commodore 64. The unusual crossover sends Katie and Dave back into memories of the original beige Commodore machines, while Dave recalls using GEOS for word processing and schoolwork long before the modern Windows experience became standard. https://commodore.net/store/commodore64/ Plus: Giant Medals, Slow USB-C Cables and Video Game Wrestling Dave also shows off the giant magnetic medals earned through the Pro Football Hall of Fame virtual race series. https://runsignup.com/Race/OH/Canton/HOFRaceSeries Katie introduces what may become a recurring feature, “What Is Katie Labeling Now?”, after discovering one of her USB-C cables was charging her laptop dramatically slower than the others. And before any of that, the crew revisits Sorgstock and its real-life video game wrestling match, where the performers recreated all of the awkward movement, button mashing, missed attacks and controller confusion of playing a wrestling game when nobody remembers the controls. From the future of game ownership to 1980s computers and $100,000 keyboards, AwesomeCast 794 once again proves there is always something wonderfully strange happening in technology.

That leads the crew into memories of Cullen's massive voice-acting career and the strange experience of realizing, years later, just how many familiar childhood characters were voiced by the same small group of performers. https://www.instagram.com/p/DcrPR8alYG3/?img_index=1 From Hubble to the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Dave's Awesome History segment turns toward NASA and astronomer Nancy Grace Roman. Roman played an important role in pushing space-based astronomy forward, helping lay the groundwork for what ultimately became the Hubble Space Telescope. The telescope carrying her name represents another enormous leap in what astronomers can observe. The hosts discuss its much wider field of view, the search for exoplanets, dark matter and dark energy, as well as the unusual orbital environments used by major observatories. https://www.planetary.org/articles/the-nancy-grace-roman-space-telescope-launch It's Already LEGO Advent Calendar Season Katie has an annual public-service announcement: if you want a particular Advent Calendar, buy it when you see it. LEGO's 2026 calendars are already appearing, including traditional Christmas offerings alongside Star Wars, Marvel and Disney sets. Waiting until December is how you end up frantically checking every store in town for the one calendar somebody decided they absolutely had to have. https://www.lego.com/en-us/search?q=advent%20calendar%202026&suggestion=true The $100,000 Keyboard Dave then discovers a corner of technology that makes even premium mechanical keyboards look inexpensive. A social video begins with keyboards priced in the hundreds of dollars, moves into models costing thousands, and eventually reaches one sitting around the $100,000 mark. At that point, calling something a “computer accessory” may no longer adequately explain what is happening. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1593262308558803 Brütal Legend Honors Tim Curry for 666 Minutes Double Fine found an extremely appropriate way to honor Tim Curry by making Brütal Legend free for 666 minutes. The Xbox 360-era heavy-metal adventure stars Jack Black and features Curry among its memorable cast. Sorg recently returned to the game and found that, despite showing its age in places, it remains surprisingly enjoyable. https://www.ign.com/articles/double-fine-productions-makes-brutal-legend-free-for-666-minutes-to-honor-tim-curry?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=6a905803b9a113000189638d&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook Donkey Kong Country: CGI From Another Time Speaking of things that have aged differently, Sorg rediscovers the computer-animated Donkey Kong Country television series from the late 1990s. The show provides an incredible time capsule of early television CGI: stiff animation, questionable lip synchronization and character models that can occasionally drift into nightmare territory. And yet there is something fascinating about seeing what creators were able to accomplish with 1990s rendering technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWpI4vahfIY Sort the Nintendo eShop From Cheap to Expensive. You Have Been Warned. There is another kind of digital archaeology available right now. Go to the Nintendo Switch store. Sort everything from lowest price to highest. Start scrolling. The result is a journey through inexpensive retro games, indie releases, zombie games, cat games, simulators, dating games, suspiciously AI-looking artwork and enough shovelware to keep the AwesomeCast crew entertained far longer than expected. There are legitimate bargains hiding in the pile—but finding them is part of the adventure. https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/sales-and-deals/#show=0&p=1&sort=pa&f=priceRangeFilter&priceRangeFilter=%240+-+%244.99 Commodore 64 Meets Cyberpunk The episode's final major retro-tech rabbit hole comes courtesy of a Cyberpunk-themed Commodore 64. The unusual crossover sends Katie and Dave back into memories of the original beige Commodore machines, while Dave recalls using GEOS for word processing and schoolwork long before the modern Windows experience became standard. https://commodore.net/store/commodore64/ Plus: Giant Medals, Slow USB-C Cables and Video Game Wrestling Dave also shows off the giant magnetic medals earned through the Pro Football Hall of Fame virtual race series. https://runsignup.com/Race/OH/Canton/HOFRaceSeries Katie introduces what may become a recurring feature, “What Is Katie Labeling Now?”, after discovering one of her USB-C cables was charging her laptop dramatically slower than the others. And before any of that, the crew revisits Sorgstock and its real-life video game wrestling match, where the performers recreated all of the awkward movement, button mashing, missed attacks and controller confusion of playing a wrestling game when nobody remembers the controls. From the future of game ownership to 1980s computers and $100,000 keyboards, AwesomeCast 794 once again proves there is always something wonderfully strange happening in technology.

Xbox is rolling out disc to digital, letting you drop an Xbox One or Series X disc into your console and unlock the digital version using the license baked into the game. Thousands of titles are supported at launch, older systems are on the roadmap, and I went straight to GameStop and grabbed six used games at two dollars each on a buy two get one free sale.I walked through exactly how this works, because the comments on Threads had a lot of people convinced it was a trap. You put the disc in, it reads the license off the game, and the digital copy unlocks on your account. From that point you can play on another console, on PC through Play Anywhere, or on your phone, and you do not need the disc in the tray anymore. The disc is not consumed or damaged in the process, and if you lend it out, the license travels to whoever is playing it. Not every game qualifies for that level of access, so the supported list matters. I am a physical media guy with shelves of Blu rays and DVDs behind me, and none of this changes that. It just means my shelf now doubles as a digital library. All of this is landing while PlayStation takes heat over phasing out physical media by 2028, and the mood I picked up at GameStop was that Xbox is having a moment.0:00 Two Big Stories in Gaming This Week0:10 How Disc to Digital Actually Works0:24 The Rules, the Lending Catch, and Play Anywhere0:38 Answering the People Who Called It a Scam1:02 Thousands of Titles Now, Older Systems Later1:09 PlayStation, Physical Media, and 20281:16 My Two Dollar GameStop Haul1:38 The Vibe Shift Around Xbox Right NowKey TakeawaysDisc to digital reads a license off the physical Xbox One or Series X game and unlocks the digital copy on your accountOnce unlocked, the digital version behaves like a purchase, including other consoles, PC Play Anywhere, and mobileYour disc is not destroyed, scratched, or surrendered, so keep itLending the disc moves the license to the borrower's consoleNot every title is supported, though thousands are available at launch with more comingSupport for older Xbox systems is expected to followUsed game prices make this an easy time to bolster a physical libraryQuotes"It registers the game using a license that's on the game itself, and it unlocks the digital version for you.""I'm a physical library guy.

Y por fin llegó el momento: hay grandes posibilidades que el episodio 621 sea el último programa de Café Fandango. No porque nos hayamos cansado ni porque no tengamos ganas o tiempo, sino porque la semana que viene todos vamos a ser billonarios gracias a las cajas de donas de Pokemón que compramos durante la grabación, así que vamos a estar muy ocupados paseando por el Caribe durante el resto de nuestras vidas. Pero bueno, aprovechemos el tiempo que nos queda y escuchalo a Seba que te cuenta de la última película de Spider Man, a Edu que juega a trabajar (mientras debería trabajar de verdad) con el Restory, además de empezar por primera vez (en el día) el Final Fantasy IX y continuar con el Football Manager y el Persona 5 Tactica. Finalmente Gus desempolvó la 3DS y volvió a empezar el Persona Q2. Luego pasamos a las noticias donde te contamos que el año que viene se hace un recital de la sinfonía de Undertale en Argentina, se publican más detalles del próximo Kingdom Hearts, Microsoft publica un Lego trucho de la ex Xbox One y Ron Gilbert explica de dónde sacó la plata para pagar el Thimbleweed Park. Cerramos con la Pregunta Fandango donde todo el mundo nos comenta qué haría con la plata que seguramente vamos a tener para la semana que viene.
The crew discusses their upcoming trip to Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, and dives into rumors and realistic release timelines for Bethesda's highly anticipated The Elder Scrolls VI. Danny, Paris, and Pete get into a heated discussion about Rockstar Games potentially locking an extended look of Grand Theft Auto VI behind a timed Netflix exclusivity window. Was the Xbox One really as bad as people remember? The hosts look back at the 2013 launch, Kinect's downfall, backwards compatibility, and the games that made the era great. They also share their thoughts on Insomniac's Marvel's Wolverine, the open-world gameplay loop fatigue, and the massive wave of new video games dropping this Fall.Gamescom Prep & Logistics The crew prepares for their upcoming trip to Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, marking Danny's first time attending the event. Parris warns about the massive crowds and max-capacity public halls, recommending using Wednesday's media day to scout out business center appointments early. The Elder Scrolls VI Release Window Predictions Following Asha's visit to Bethesda to see an early build, the hosts discuss realistic expectations for The Elder Scrolls VI. While some speculate a 2027 launch, the consensus leans toward 2028 or 2029 to allow thorough QA testing and avoid past launch issues. GTA 6 Extended Look on Netflix Debate A heated debate breaks out over Rockstar Games potentially offering an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI on Netflix prior to a YouTube release. Danny defends the marketing strategy as smart industry expansion, while Parris expresses concern over setting paywall precedents and drawing attention away from Gamescom announcements. Reflecting on the Xbox One Era The hosts look back at the Xbox One, highlighting its strong games lineup (Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break), the Xbox Controller, Xbox Play Anywhere, and the birth of Game Pass and Backwards Compatibility. They discuss how poor messaging, Kinect bundling, and the initial $500 price point overshadowed an otherwise solid console generation. Marvel's Wolverine & Fall Gaming Wave The team discusses Insomniac's Marvel's Wolverine, addressing preview feedback regarding potential open-world gameplay loop fatigue. They look ahead to the packed Fall release schedule, noting the overwhelming amount of big games dropping through September and beyond.

This week on the Bourbon Bytes podcast, we're turning up the proof with hazmat brandy, cask-strength rye, coconut-inspired Scotch, a potentially huge win for retro gamers, and a throwback review of one of the best Canadian whiskies I've ever tasted. Copper & Kings is making several former distillery exclusives available online, including a 10-year rum-finished apple brandy at 147.6 proof, a 9-year apple brandy at 145.4 proof, and a 12-year American brandy at 119.2 proof. Old Overholt is also back with a new 11-year Cask Strength Rye. The 2026 release comes in at 125.6 proof, making it notably stronger than the previous 11-year edition. Then The Macallan closes out its Harmony Collection with two coconut-inspired releases: Inspired by Fresh Coconut and Inspired by Toasted Coconut. They are not flavored whiskies, but their tasting profiles promise coconut milk, lime, tropical fruit, crème caramel, white chocolate, charred pineapple, and frangipane. On the gaming side, a leaked Xbox plan could be a major win for physical media collectors. The rumored disc-to-digital program would let players register physical Xbox One games as digital copies, with Xbox 360 support potentially following later. Finally, it's time for a throwback Byte-Sized Review of J.P. Wiser's 23 Year Old Cask Strength Canadian Whisky. Originally released in 2019, this blend of 23-year-old corn and rye whiskies was bottled at a massive 128.6 proof and originally sold for around $149 Canadian—approximately $106 US at the time. Seven years later, it still delivers bright citrus, blueberry, caramel, vanilla, rye bread, syrupy honey texture, cinnamon-roll sweetness, subtle oak, vintage tobacco, and an exceptionally long finish. Is this still one of the best Canadian whiskies ever released?

That is what the forklifts are for. 7:22 PM@eathdemonI mean anyone shocked physical media is dying? im not lol 7:22 PM@addictedtochaos2PlayStation is still dead to me. 7:22 PM@Sheekago@eathdemon shocked? No. Disappointed, yes. 7:24 PM@eathdemonhate to be the debi downer here, but the era of mantaining 400 person teams are over. in the future it will be scaling up/down/ outsourcing/contracting. its not economicly rational 7:25 PM@eathdemon 7:25 PM@Sheekago***DLC not included 7:25 PM@Sheekago****Just give us your money, damn it 7:26 PM@jaredknisely6213thats my fav when they ack you to buy something for 100's of $$$ and they cant even give you a copy of the game 7:26 PM@addictedtochaos2You either die as Sega or you live long enough to see yourself become PlayStation. 7:26 PM@eathdemontbf they did that b/c embracer gabled up all the support studios 7:27 PM@jaredknisely6213its more than that, those studios where give years and a lot of moeny to do something which a good amount like 90 percent of them wasted 7:28 PM@jaredknisely6213only the Doom devs did something with those resources 7:28 PM@addictedtochaos2PlayStation's downfall began when Jim Ryan was placed in charge, and while he no longer is, we are now seeing the effects. 7:28 PM@SheekagoLook at vinyl records. They became niche and now they're making a come back. 7:30 PM@SheekagoThat's true. It's all about control. Those cars with heated seat "subscriptions". They're trying to get rid of Android or Apple on their cars and create their own OS to lease to us. 7:31 PM@addictedtochaos2Their first party games actually sell more physical copies, but it comes down to maximizing profits. Nothing else. 7:31 PM@eathdemonalso I cant say shit since all my games are on steam, so digital lol 7:32 PM@jaredknisely6213[message retracted] 7:33 PM@jaredknisely6213its the by-product of the gaming industry cancer that fortnite popularized 7:34 PM@jaredknisely6213we like show and tell 7:38 PM@eathdemoncasting your mind back in to the abyss :) 7:38 PM@jaredknisely6213crab rav 7:40 PM@addictedtochaos2Sony dominated the PS1 and PS2 eras and that lead to the PS3, and while they did rebound, it wasn't as successful. Xbox shot themselves in the foot with the Xbox One reveal and never really recovered. 7:41 PM@addictedtochaos2Which lead to Sony dominating the PS4 and PS5 eras and had lead to their arrogance now. 7:42 PM@eathdemonthanks for making me feel old lol 7:42 PM@addictedtochaos2The game was Genji 7:46 PM@addictedtochaos2The first Genji was on PS2 and was quite good. 7:47 PM@eathdemonthe ps2 and 360 era was heavily contract based 7:48 PM@addictedtochaos2If you mean Mr. Caffeine it was the Ubisoft presentation. 7:50 PM@AndrewEisenSorry folks. The stream is just disconnecting and reconnecting. I'll give it a few minutes and see if it stops. 7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2I can see you moving 7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2But no sound 7:51 PM@addictedtochaos2Now I can hear you. 7:53 PM@addictedtochaos2The Wii U wasn't arrogance, it was more just Nintendo misread the market. 7:57 PM@AndrewEisenAnd here we go again with the damn disconnects. 7:58 PM@eathdemonI mean it could be restream getting slammed b/c its the weekend 7:58 PM@jaredknisely6213just a thought have you tried obs? 7:59 PM@AndrewEisenI'm using OBS. I'm just using restream so that I can stream to both YouTube and Twitch on Sundays. Maybe I need to stream the Sunday night podcast directly to YouTube. 7:59 PM@AndrewEisenSaturday night podcast, I mean. 8:00 PM@eathdemonI think its possable its just high ussage on restreams end 8:01 PM@AndrewEisenIt doesn't appear to be my connection so that appears most likely. I've been using Restream for years and only had this problem in the last couple months. 8:02 PM@AndrewEisenOkay, well. Long story short. That anime is one joke over and over but I kept laughing at it. I don't know how it's going to maintain an entire series but I guess we'll see. 8:03 PM@jaredknisely6213from the internet reading i see its a restream thing 8:03 PM@AndrewEisenI'm ending the podcast. Hope to see you all tomorrow for Cold Steel III. 8:03 PM@jaredknisely6213would take more than a few mins of reading to see the main issue

#retrogaming #ps4 #xboxone Before we get to the big episode 500, let's take a look back at where it all began. Back in 2013, podcasting was still just crawling out of its primordial ooze. And for some reason, we decided to dive right into it. We soon discovered that a) podcasting is hard and b) we loved talking passionately about the things we care about. This is the start of an adventure that would lead to countless beers reviewed, conversations had, and bonds cemented. This episode is NOT good. In fact, it's packed with stutters, dead air, boring banter, and two guys in waaaay over their heads. But it was the start. Cheers to new beginnings and the fact that we've gotten at least marginally better at this thing.
More developments and releases surrounding mostly the PS4 and PS5 in this episode! This starts out with mentioning tico, an emulator frontend for the Switch which brings native GameCube and Wii emulation to the Switch in a recent update. The PS4 and PS5 license change which was quietly released recently gets broken down and explained here as well, just before the news of the PS5 Linux Loader dropping! We also see a new jailbreak for PS5 working up to firmware 12.70 which requires some patience if you can spare a couple hours per run. There's also some pretty neat releases here for the PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii, and even Xbox One! Tune in and enjoy.
This week's episode features HYPERWIRED, Biomechanical Toy (QUByte Classics), Village of the Curse, The Fissure, In Fair Spirits, and Dustwind: Resistance - Tunnels of Death.

With major leadership shakeups and rumors of studio closures, the future of XBOX inside Microsoft suddenly looks uncertain.
