Infinite Respawn Podcast

This week in the news: Chicken necro'ed a topic from December! Can you resell your digital games? In more recent news... Concord isn't doing well. Yes it JUST released. No you probably haven't heard about it. At least not until now. (As of two days after recording this episode the game was canned by the studio, by the way.) Valve's new game is also a hero shooter and is apparently doing WAY better than Concord even though it was only just confirmed to have existed. New content is on the way for the October full launch of the Starship Troopers game! Randy Pitchford admits being wrong about something (in a roundabout way in which he doesn't actually say he was wrong). All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Baka survived the circus. The Borderlands movie is doing about as well as everyone with a connection to reality assumed it would. Tango Gameworks has a new home after being cut loose by Microsoft. Steam might be getting a better review system. Castlevania is coming to Dead by Daylight. Two games based around John Carpenter's Halloween are on the way (and one about Ash vs Evil Dead!). And good lort, get the popcorn and a comfy blanket, someone let Grif talk about Dragon Age. As for what everyone's been playing: Oak enjoyed Thank Goodness You're Here this week. And everyone's still full tilt into 7 Days to Die. All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Chicken's faith in another Darksiders game has finally paid off! While it was just a teaser, there was an announcement and he feels SO vindicated. Blizzard is moving some of their King staff over to make AA games based on existing franchises. Big layoffs hit Bungie but the CEO seems to be just fine. And Steam tweaked it's demo settings. On the gaming front: Chicken, Grif, & Baka (who is away at a Circus for this show) are really getting into 7 Days to Die now that it's hit full release. And the group can not get enough of Lethal Company as well! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Microsoft if changing the pricing and packaging of Game Pass. The Halo show is canned after two seasons. Steam is maybe not as big as you think (or does having contract work make a difference). And there's a Bioshock 4 "leaked screenshot" floating around. Is it impressive enough to garner attention? In games: There was no shortage of anger in the group over recent Lethal Company runs. (Don't worry, they love each other, they just argue like they don't!) Oak's excited about the new NCAA football game. And Grif is impressed with DOOM! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: SGDQ started and Chicken failed to remind everyone! Exoprimal is nearing extinction. Capcom shares more RE info. Ubisoft is being extra slow on movies and extra fast on AI usage. Also slow on announcing/working on some much requested remakes. Nintendo's not jumping on the AI train so quickly, though. And the new Dragon Age is offering a death-free difficulty which sparks conversation on what constitutes a difficulty curve in a game. As for what everyone has been playing, well it's all over the place! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Nintendo Direct had quite a few titles to discuss. Elden Ring's new DLC is getting some heavy criticisms. And Paradox canceled their upcoming Sims-like then immediately closed the studio. Grif, Baka, & Chicken started up a group run of Baldur's Gate 3. The whole team checked out a new (to them) ghost game. And Grif is baffled by some of the things in Immortals of Aveum. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week is all about the recent Summer Games Fest and Microsoft Showcase announcements! (PC show was happening right at the tail end of recording so we don't have much on that, sorry.) Will we be blown away by any of the upcoming games? Were there any surprises? Time to find out!

This week Chicken is vindicated! HE WAS RIGHT (again). In the news: Microsoft closed a few studios even though one of them gave them EXACTLY what they said they were looking for. Square Enix is tired of being exclusive. Nintendo very casually announced the Switch 2 by announcing they... weren't... announcing it yet. Yeah..... Sony surprisingly changed their mind about PSN requirements. Ghost of Tsushima is making huge numbers on it's Steam release. Ubisoft announced a Japan-based Assassin's Creed. GTA 6 won't be out till maybe Fall 2025. And apparently Valve's next game is a hero shooter MOBA. As for what everyone is playing, well lots of driving fast in Forza, Fallout 76, and some interesting updates to Content Warning. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Embracer Group splits into three companies. The names are... questionable at best. Warhammer will reportedly have a PvP mode. Resident Evil 9 might be getting a reveal soon. And of course the hot topic that had everyone talking last week, the Helldivers 2 and PSN drama! (Of course there was an update to that story the day after we recorded the show. OF COURSE!) And as for what everyone's playing: Racing. Really? Three out of the four are driving fast cars. Only two of those three are successful though. Would you care to guess who is good at it an who isn't?

This week the news is largely focused on games being made into TV and movies! What's working, what's not, what's next, and what we'd REALLY like to see. Also, the Dead Space sequel remakes are no more. And are most devs really worried about live service models for games? Is early access the way these days? What is the crew playing? A lot of games with friends, apparently. Always best when everyone has fun stories to share! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!
