In the news: After almost a decade, No Man's Sky is finally positive on Steam reviews! Playstation might be interested in buying the company that owns From Software and a bunch of other studios and properties. They're also looking at making a new handheld. Again. Riot is planning to start banning people who stream their games for bad behavior outside of just streams/games. And of course there's lots to discuss with all the nominees for this year's Game Awards. All this & much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: DLC, seasons, and expansions can now compete for Game of the Year at the Game Awards. The Splinter Cell movie has been officially scrapped after almost two decades in the works. Nintendo is tracking people down thanks to the internet. Mass Effect has a show on the way from Amazon. And Blizzard has outlined all of its Warcraft related plans for the 30th anniversary of the original game. As for what everyone has been playing, lots of miscellaneous stuff, really.

This week in the news: Sea of Thieves' latest update has been semi-rolled back as a few of the new features had to be disabled. Overwatch 2 is leaning into what people liked about the original Overwatch. Sony canned the studio responsible for Concord. The "devs" behind The Day Before just scrapped one Kickstarter and announced a new game at the same time. And of course people have leaked details of the Nintendo MMO playtest. Chicken and Grif just returned from vacation but that doesn't mean there's a shortage of gaming sessions to talk about! Lethal Company silliness, Silent Hill combat discussions, & scary school staff all get fun stories! All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week Bloober Team has announced a new game hot on the heels of their Silent Hill 2 launch. Nintendo is testing out *something* for the Switch in an online capacity, but they don't want their testers to say what. 343 Studios has changed their name to Halo Studios and dropped their Slipstream Engine in favor of Unreal Engine 5 for the next Halo game(s). And a former Playstation exec argues that there's a lack of creativity in the industry. Is he right? And yes, Grif will indeed talk A LOT about Silent Hill, but she'll keep it pretty spoiler free. Chicken's adding his own difficulty modifier to his playthrough. And Baka is back on his GTA V addiction. All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

We're back! After an unintentional month hiatus, it's time to get back to it! In the news: Was Bobby Kotick actually right about something? Does it negate all of his absolutely terrible decisions? (Spoiler: it does not. At all.) Unity had a change of heart (after a swift change of CEO). Concord's downfall was being too positive? And Nintendo is finally getting around to suing the creators of Palworld. Will their suit hold up in court? It's been four weeks, has anyone found anything new to play? Grif's all hyped up about Silent Hill 2. Oak is making waves with Valheim mods. Is Deadlock the next new thing? All this and much more on this week's 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.

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!
