Hey you, do you care about your PS3, PSP or the underated PSVITA? Well it's about to end. It's reported that Sony is planning to shut down the digital stores for the consoles. Why? Well, everthing has to end sometime, but still. It's important to make the purchased games available. We don't know what's going on, so hopefully we get the official word from Sony,

Nintendo Switch (Pro?) is sounding really good. 4K output docked, new Nvidia chip and bigger screen. And I almost forgot, Nvidia DLSS technology. HOLY CRAP! This will change everyhting. Let's hope this will happen, and we will gladly take it with the reported price bump. Let's go.

You can now play steam games with you friend without them having a steam account. Remote play on Steam is now available trough only a url link. Pretty cool right? Just make sure that you have a good interwebs connection.

One last thing, it's time to hunt people! Monster Hunter Rise is out now, and I guess Emil won't see Jens for a couple of years.

And you know what that means? Playing some Borderlands. Well some of us does and the other hasn't played anything at all this week. Well, it is what it is.

Devotion (Not Division) is back on sale, after much trouble being banned by China and GOG respectively. What is up with that game? Well now it's back, so hurray!

Activision/Blizzard lays of several employees while the CEO is dancing with a huge salary. This even takes notice by the investors of the company. Is this really the way to do things? Not only that, as a extra "screw you" to the employees, they are getting a gift card for Battle.net. I mean come on??

Hey! You, console player, pretty good week for you. Xbox Game Pass gets more awesome games in it's library and the upcoming game Outriders will be available on day one! Pretty sweet right? Plus EA Play will be included in the subscription service on PC. How is all of this possible?

PlayStation as part of the "Play at Home" initiative is giving out totally free games! Several good indie games and one big game, Horizon Zero Dawn.

GO PLAY PEOPLE! Damn, it's feel good to be a console player.

PS: Paper Mario is pretty chill.

Consider leaving us a nice review if you liked the episode.

Elden Ring and New Switch is real after all? Well, Elden Ring was suppose to be shown soon, but due to leaks, this will be postponed. Switch (Pro?) will be a more realistic upgrade than the insane mockups shown on the interwebs.

Microsoft is making the Xbox the best overall console ever. With more possibilities and more features. Series X is looking more and more like a PC. And with that there is a need for more restrictions. Casue console has been the place to play without cheaters and hackers. So luckily some kind of anti-cheat system is coming. This needs to be implemented, just make sure that it can run in the background. 

And hey Bethesda/Microsoft is now a real thing. Celebrating this, 20 games from Bethesda is now on Xbox Game Pass. GAME THAT SHIT! 

Is it also suprising that some Bethesda games will be exclusive to Xbox? We don't think so. 

So enjoy this episode where we talk about our gaming backlog!

Why makes a game end in a backlog? Well we have various reasons, everything from time consumption, distractions and well, sometimes we don't really know why.

Anyways let's talk about this and just to make sure we cover something from week 9, we give you game releases.

Enjoy the episode, and tell us if this is something you want more of. It's very fun to make!

PlayStation State of Play was this week, showing off stuff we already know about. Gameplay trailers, showcases and more. But we got some surprises! Sifu and Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Intergrade. Pretty cool.

Nvidia trying to please everyone with their upcoming RTX 3060 and new cryptocurrency cards, CMP. Will this really help with the shortages? Or are they doing it just for the money? God damn.

EA changing its ways? Sure looks like it, with EA chief studios officer saying that all the existing franchises are 100 % in the developers hands. Titanfall with Respawn, Dragon Age with Bioware and so on. No more meddling eh? Let's sure hope so! Also Anthem is no more. The big update to the trubled game is no longer in development and has been cancelled. Probably because they didn't have the right resources and workforce to really make something special. Sad though, cause Anthem could've been something.

And lastly, lawsuit between Apple and Epic is still going? Can you name your company "very positive"? Let's talk about it.

Finally a new traditional Nintendo Direct this week! And it was... pretty underwhelming? Well, some cool stuff was announced but where were the big guns? Nintendo, please give us updates. Skyward Sword is coming to Switch with optimazed controls. Will people be more forgiving of this game now? Don't worry, you can still play it the old motion control way.

Live-service games, hate them or love them, are getting updates! Division 2 is getting more content, after players "continues passion and support". This is perfect timing, cause Emil just got addicted to it. Avengers aswell, with Hawkeye; Future Imperfect and next-gen versions. Is this enough to help Avengers? Time will only tell.

Microsoft being a stand up guy, being more supportive of accessibility in games, even going out of it's way to help developers to do just that. Good guy Microsoft.

And lastly, we have a discussion on todays consoles and compare them to PCs. It's going to be a lot of blabber, but we think we both got our opinions out there.  

Can we move on from CD Project Red? Well, someone definitely can't and have sadly hacked the company, stealing source code from their games. CDPR did not meet the demands from the hackers, and now the source code has been sold on the dark web for 7 million dollars. Oh well.

Borderlands 3 Director's Cut has been revealed and it's not much new with it? Some stuff makes the game more like BL2, but is the new stuff turning the game into a live-service? We hope it does not! Look at Anthem, which are currently getting an update, but next week maybe will be the end of the game. An internal review of the project will decide the outcome.

And E3 2021 is happening this year as a digital event. Is this too late though? Since they skipped last year many publishers/developers have had their own digital event. So what the point? Will even publishers be apart of E3 anymore? Who knows.

Google Stadia was doing fine we thought, but no. Google has shutted down two of their exclusive Stadia game studios. Luckily Google has been nice and making sure the employees gets a new job somewhere else within Google. Is Stadia ahead of it's time?

Gearbox has been acquired by someone, and it's not Microsoft. Embracer, parent company of THQ Nordic, acquired Gearbox for 1.3 billion dollars (WOW). However 2K confirmed they will still publish Borderlands despite the takeover.

Nintendo and Sony has been going well lately, having impressive earnings. Sony already sold 4.5 million units in 2020 alone which is matching the PS4 launch back in 2013. Nintendo has sold 13.53 million units of the Switch Lite, surpassing the WIi U. Much of that is propably because of the sales of Animal Crossing New Horizons. That game as sold 31.18 million units.

Damn, feels good to be a console manufacturer.

Resident Evil Village (or 8?) was shown, with a demo available now on PS5 and release. Coming in May. The game looks so good that we are considering playing it, even though we don't like horror. But that Re:Verse multiplayer game looks a bit of...

Cyberpunk 2077 (yes, again) finally got it's first official patch, but sadly brings a new game breaking bug. Come on man... Doesn't seem to matter though, because Cyberpunk is the biggest digital launch of all time! Hurray?

Xbox Gold! Have you been drinking? Luckily you soberd up and quickly reversed the outrageous price bump that happened last weekend. It was almost the case that Gold would have been double the price as Playstation Plus! But you can rest easy, Xbox listened to the community.

Does CDPR ever get a break? Apparently not, with an article from Blomberg confirming a bunch of info of the troubled development of Cyberpunk 2077. Is there ever a limit of info from this? No, but this article covers most of it.

On another note, the development of S.T.A.L.K.A.R. 2 is going well! The long awaited sequel is going to have all the nooks and crannies that you expect from a game nowadays. Hopefully it's true.

Custom faceplates are back baby! Both from CMP and dbrand! Customize to your heart's content with several different colors, or just get the black ones. They look pretty good!

Also, is Outriders going to be a thing? We hope so with a recently released video explaining all the graphics setting and requirments. Most importantly, announcing Cross-Play! Hell yeah!
