This week’s episode features more news about the next generation of consoles, while the Gaming Flashback takes a look at the unfairly overlooked arcade racer Blur.
This week’s podcast covers Nioh 3 crossing 1 million units sold to become the series’ fastest-selling game, Resident Evil Requiem has surpassing 5m copies sold in less than a week, and Discord delaying its global age verification rollout and cuts ties with Peter Thiel-backed verification vendor. This week’s Gaming Flashback is Shovel Knight.
The news includes:
Sony was ready to approve a Bloodborne remake, but FromSoftware turned it down
PlayStation reportedly plans to stop releasing major PS5 games on PC
Steam Deck faces US stock issues as AI-driven RAM shortage hits gaming hardware
If you’re wondering where the podcast has been, it’s been in technical hell. Twice the podcast was recorded each week, and both times there were serious technical issues. This time, we’ve got it right, and even have Paul dropping by to discuss his new book, “Gaymers: the Difference a ‘Y’ Makes: How (and Why) to Make Video Games LGBT Players Care About“. Actually, it’s mostly dominated by a discussion of an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
