Play To Win

On episode 109 of the Play To Win Podcast, we're sending the show off with a bang thanks to the latest PlayStation Showcase. The showcase had a lot of great stuff, such as the first gameplay for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, gameplay for Alan Wake II, the reveal of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and the announcement of Bungie's new game, Marathon. At the same time, the show was also a bit of a disappointment. We share our thoughts on why this was the case and give some of our hottest gaming takes on the final episode of the Play To Win Podcast.

On episode 106 of the Play To Win Podcast, we're talking in-depth about Redfall, Xbox's latest AAA first-party exclusive. We've put about five hours into it so far and while it's not the worst game we've ever played we are shocked by how disappointing and boring it is. That then leads into a conversation about the state of Xbox in light of Redfall's poor reception and what's next for Microsoft. Tyler also finished Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, so he shares his final thoughts on this excellent entry in the series.

On episode 104 of the Play To Win Podcast, it's a fairly PlayStation-heavy episode. Sony acquired Firewalk Studios and revealed that their upcoming live-service multiplayer game will be coming to PS5 and PC. We speculate about what this new first-party studio will bring to PlayStation with their new project. The Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC was also released this week, and Tyler has some early impressions of his time with the expansion so far. Capcom also held a Street Fighter 6 showcase and dropped a surprise demo that's got us more excited about the game than we already were.

On episode 103 of the Play To Win Podcast, we're all aboard the hype train for a number of games! Nintendo gave us the final trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, revealing the return of Ganondorf, familiar allies from Breath of the Wild, and mysterious new characters for us to encounter across Hyrule. PlayStation delivered a State of Play for Final Fantasy XVI that was filled with new gameplay footage focusing on the story, combat, world, Eikons, and more. EA revealed Immortals of Aveum, a new magic-based first-person shooter that looks shockingly good, Redfall is at the center of more controversy, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is breaking records, and Dreams is ending its live support. It's a packed week for news!

On episode 102 of the Play To Win Podcast, we have ourselves a very light news week. Reports are spreading of yet another new piece of hardware coming from Sony, except this time it's a PlayStation handheld (codenamed Q Lite) that uses the PS5's Remote Play feature. Who is this for and why would Sony make this? We then talk about how we integrate gaming into dealing with our mental health in light of a rough week for Tyler.

On episode 101 of the Play To Win Podcast, the big news of the week is that E3 2023 has officially been cancelled. After facing many challenges in recent years and another cancellation, is this the end of E3 or will it return at some point in the future as a different event? In more bad news, MultiVersus is also shutting down its open beta for more than half a year and PS VR2 sales are looking pretty dire so far. Balancing things out, we got 10 minutes of brand new The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gameplay that's left us more excited than ever before to embark on a new adventure in Hyrule.
