Infinite Respawn Podcast

This week is all about The Game Awards. Several trailers and announcements caught a lot of attention. The awards happened and maybe the show was slightly better than usual this year! So much to talk about! Then, as usual this time of year, we wrap up with our personal big games of the year and some announcements for next year! All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Paradox accepts blame for the Bloodlines 2 failure (and it totally should). Steam makes a call on banning a game that GoG has decided to sell anyway. The CEO of Roblox is totally fine with all the predators on his platform preying on children so long as it pumps up his game numbers. Yeah, he's a pretty vile dude, tbh. And what will likely be the topic of the decade (or at least the next few years): AI in gaming. Is it cool or not? Let's discuss. Oak's back and he's played the entirety of Dispatch so now he's on to a Spiderman game! Grif is so heated about how a friend cost them the round of Devour that she can't even tell the story correctly. Thankfully, Chicken can elaborate!

This week in the news: Take Two's stocks drop alongside the delay of GTA 6 and they're still slightly disappointed in the Borderlands 4 launch. Steam announced a bunch of new hardware including a new Steam Machine, VR headset, and controller. Will it be on par with console pricing? And one of the original devs for the first Saints Row game has Embracer's interest after talking about a revival of the series via a 1970s prequel. What have we been doing this week? Well Grif's brain is broken upon replaying a game that she'd already given a lot of grace. Is it really that bad or is she just bitter these days? Chicken is too good at RTS games and figured out how to absolutely dominate in a playtest for an upcoming game. And of course, "Friend Slop" as Chicken called it, is everywhere. With the recent Peak and Repo updates, there's plenty of laughs to go around. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Crash Bandicoot is getting an animated series. Phasmo is getting a board game. Palworld may have a slight advantage in their dealings with Nintendo. Bully is about to have a fan-made MMO mod and early access starts in December. Amazon cut 14,000 jobs from their gaming division. Halo is coming to PS5 with Campaign Evolved. Microsoft wants to make all of the money and also the next "console" will likely just be a PC. In the non-news stuffs: REPO got an update and everyone loves it. Oak has gone back to Green Hell and everyone else moved back to ARK. It must be the time for the comfort of familiar survival games. All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: A third Mortal Kombat movie has been confirmed before the second one even hits theaters. Is it studio confidence or a marketing ploy? Halo loses an art director, Assassin's Creed loses a boss, and a group of former Zenimax Online Studios staffers form their own new team. Bungie is still working on Marathon and plans to have a closed technical test in the near future. Will the extraction shooter find a place or suffer Sony's wrath? Phasmo has a new map on the way but it just misses the Halloween window. And another leak hits Game Freak and reportedly reveals all currently planned projects. In games this week: Baka's Henry in Kingdom Come Deliverance is not a great person but it's not always on purpose. And Grif can't stop thinking about Baka while playing the Saints Row 2022 reboot. All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Pay-Per-View epsorts, Game Pass price hikes, Ubisoft spin-offs, EA's acquisition, Silent Hill 1 remake, Silent Hill f sells super well, & Kojima's new foray into horror. Lots of stuff to talk about, some good, some bad, lots of opinions! What's everyone playing? Baka and Grif are getting into Kingdom Come Deliverance but they're playing very different games. Grif is backtracking on a game she originally didn't like. And Chicken is enjoying the Killer Inn beta. All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!
