    Bluepoint Gets Shut Down & Xbox's Leadership Shakeup - Episode 398

    The world of video games over the past week can be summed up by the timeless Jim Halpert quote "WHAT IS GOING ON?!?". PlayStation shut down beloved developer Bluepoint Games on Thursday, and then on Friday Xbox came out and said "Hold my beer" as Phil Spencer was announced to be "retiring", and Sarah Bond "resigned" from her position as well. Oh yeah, and the new head of Microsoft Gaming has no experience in games, but most recently was in charge of Microsoft's CoreAI program, so this is probably going to go GREAT! Let's discuss.

    Was That The GOAT State of Play?? - Episode 397
    PlayStation's State of Plays (States of Play? States of Plays?) have become so infrequent, that when they actually get announced many people's hype levels go through the roof. With last week's State of Play, it is easy to say that they absolutely delivered on that hype! At over an hour, with plenty of new game reveals, this State of Play felt like it could have been a Showcase instead. From Kena's sequel reveal, all the way to the God of War announcements, the guys are here to go over everything that Sony showed off last week!. Other topics include Sean following in Kevin's footsteps and falling in love with Clair Obscur, Kevin's thoughts after finally getting to Chained Echoes, and more!

    PlayStation's Xbox Developer Direct & Beating Clair Obscur - Episode 396

    Last week, Xbox held a rather impressive developer direct where they showed off, and gave release dates or windows, Forza Horizon 6, Beast of Reincarnation, Kiln, and Fable. What is even better, though, is that all of these games will also be making their way over to PS5 in 2026 as well! The guys give their thoughts on each game, as well as the weird times we are living in with Microsoft turning into a 3rd party publisher of games on PlayStation. Other topics include Kevin beating, and loving, Clair Obscur, Nintendo's better late than never Year in Review, Circana's full year sales numbers for 2025, and lots more!Start - 00:00
