We are here at eTail Palm Springs and seeing and hearing the latest and greatest in e-commerce and retail. Question: Do you need to choose between AI and human recommendations as a customer?

Warner Bros Closes Monolith Productions, Fable Delayed to 2026 # 435 1:38:23

vor 1 day1:38:23

1:38:23

Warner Bros gaming division continues delivering terrible news as of late, and this week was perhaps the worst of them all, as the decision was made to close down three of its studios, Player First studios, and WB San Diego, both leading and helping on the soon-to-be delisted Multiversus. They also continued by announcing the cancellation of the recently rebooted Wonder Woman game, and with it came the shutdown of Monolith Productions. Who's to blame? And where does the bleeding end for the AAA gaming space? Microsoft also made a much quieter announcement with the newest head of Xbox, Craig Duncan, stating that the highly anticipated Fable reboot would now release in 2026, effectively delaying the game completely out of this year. Although no particular reason was given, many speculations lay ahead, is this the right time to delay the game? Or could there be something concerning afoot? Speaking of Microsoft, Sean finally got some hands on time with Avowed and he also talks about beating Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, while Marc beat Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes as well. Plus, Sony gives the PSVR 2 a price cut, Capcom makes a change at a high position, while Monster Hunter Wilds helps Steam break concurrent records. There's Pokemon announcements, and much more! * We will be off for two weeks because of Sean's trip to Puerto Rico. So we won't have an episode March 10 or March 17. We will make up for that with at least one episode (if not two) on Saturday 03/22 depending on how much has happened since then. Then go back to regular programming on Monday 03/24. * ou can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/5vNL7OER1IQ Listen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

ID @ Xbox Showcase Discussion, More Thoughts on LAD Pirate Yakuza # 434 1:13:40

vor 9 Tagen1:13:40

1:13:40

As one of the year's first major AAA releases inches ever closer with Monster Hunter Wilds, Sean and Marc delve a bit into the indie space as they discuss the latest ID @ Xbox showcase and the Annapurna Interactive showcase as well. Were there any games that stood out? Any that got them super excited for their eventual release? Sean certainly has quite a few from both. Could Neowiz be hinting that Lies of P: Overture is co-op? Also, in a quiet week for gaming news, Microsoft made some waves by introducing their A.I. gaming tech called Muse which featured a demo using a rather maligned Ninja Theory game Bleeding Edge. Is there a worry about this leading to job losses? Or is this more of a positive as a way to bring back older games and keep them available on modern consoles? Plus, NetEase makes some weird decisions after announcing great news for Marvel Rivals, a former Nintendo Sales employee says the Summer is when we see Switch 2, Ubisoft suffers another blow with Assassin's Creed Shadows, Sean has more to say on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and more!

PlayStation Network Goes Down, Is There an ARPG Leveling Problem # 432 1:34:49

vor 23 Tagen1:34:49

1:34:49

An unexpected event occurred early on Saturday as Sony's PlayStation Network went down for around 18 hours leaving many without the ability to play even their single-player games unless they'd remembered to set their PS5 or PS4 as their primary console beforehand. The inability to read licenses essentially left anyone wanting to play digital games twiddling their thumbs. Should everyone be singing the praises of physical media now? Or could this make Sony further lessen the PSN requirement for PC games? Do you fear the all-digital future? At least Sony seems to be taking down a lot of the Spam games. David Brevik, formerly lead programmer on Diablo II, says modern Action RPG's reward players too quickly thus "cheapening the experience" and ruining the journey. Is he correct? Or is this quickening of everything just a sign of the times? Also, Capcom showed off a little more on the latest Onimusha title, Nintendo gives hints on their basis for the still unannounced price of Switch 2, the Wonder Woman game was apparently rebooted, Rocksteady is back doing single-player Arkham games, Sean has thoughts on Tails of Iron 2 and Marc finished Sniper Elite Resistance too.

Forza Horizon 5 on PlayStation, Sony Makes Some Changes # 431 1:32:55

Another wild week in Video Games with another move in the "no fences and no red lines" from Microsoft as Forza Horizon 5 the multiple award-winning title from Playground Studios, is headed to the PlayStation 5, and you can go wishlist it now. At this point, does it even move the needle for those like Sean and Marc, who witness this every day? But it certainly seems PlayStation players are excited and that's what matters in the end. Speaking of Sony, they made some moves at the top by promoting a new CEO of all of the company and also moving Hideaki Nishino to the top of Sony Interactive Entertainment while Hermen Hulst stays at his position at PlayStation Studios. Does this really mean much? And will it bear fruit in the near future or is it something we won't see until maybe the PlayStation 6 is around? Plus, Sean's been playing Big Helmet Heroes, Marc's been playing Sniper Elite Resistance, EA downsized Bioware a week after the news of Dragon Age: The Veilguard's lackluster sales, Need For Speed is on hold again, Sony drops the PSN Requirement for several PC games, Multiversus is officially ending, and more!

Nintendo Switch 2 is Real! Sony Cancels More Live Service Games # 429 1:32:34

After all this time of waiting, the leaks were right, the Nintendo Switch 2 was officially announced on Thursday and it is certainly a bigger Switch 1 with some cool features such as the magnetic attaching joycons, what looks like joycons that can be used as a mouse, and Mario Kart 9 shown as the lone game. Does this satiate Sean and Marc for now? Is April 2 too long of a time to wait for more information? And does this change their thought on when the system releases? Also, Sony made waves by canceling another set of live service games. Including a Bluepoint studio-led God of War multiplayer title and the Studio Bend title as well. What does this say about Sony's comprehensive push into live service? Do we have faith in any of the remaining games on the slate? And why not cancel more of them? Plus, news about Xbox seeing its demise back in 2021 before buying Bethesda, Guillemots, and Tencent looking to spinoff Ubisoft, why there isn't a Bloodborne remake/remaster, Sean's played the First Berzerker Khazan and the Rift of the Necrodancer demo, and more!

With 2025 literally one sleep away, we look forward to an absolutely packed 2025 slate of video game releases and give out our Top 10 Most Anticipated Games of 2025. We also address the two major elephants in the room: the Nintendo Switch successor and Grand Theft Auto VI. Without a doubt, the Switch successor will release in 2025 but its a matter of when? Sean, Marc, and Randy attempt to make their best guess at the actual date and also at some possible launch games too. Will Grand Theft Auto VI actually release in 2025?

SEGA May Do Their Own Gaming Subscription Service, Nintendo's 2024 in Review # 427 1:27:50

Welcome to our last regular episode of 2024, as we are so close to another year ending and 2025 beginning. Speaking of that, Nintendo looks to start 2025 on an amazing high note by finally announcing the long-awaited Switch successor. However, before we get to that, Sean and Marc go through Nintendo's 2024 and what is there to make of what feels like a whole year of waiting for information on hardware. What were the stand out games? Are any of them up for Game of the Year? And what are the latest rumors about the Switch 2? Also, SEGA had one heck of a 2024 themselves and they capped it off with a very successful Sonic 3 Movie as well. But what about the future? Could a SEGA subscription service be on the cards? Rumors indicate it could very well be in the plans. Should it be something akin to Xbox Game Pass? Or more like PlayStation Plus? Or maybe EA Play? Should this even happen at all? Plus, some news regarding games shown at the Game Awards, Marc has played more Infinity Nikki, Xbox won't have any more exclusives, Sony buys more of Kadokawa, and more!

Sean certainly thinks so, as this version of the show could be the magnum opus of what Geoff Keighley wants this gaming celebration to be.

More Trouble At Ubisoft, Fantasian & Infinity Nikki Impressions # 426 1:24:20

In what has been a tumultuous year for Ubisoft already, the company delivered more bad news over the last week as not only are they sunsetting their live-service title XDefiant, a game that has been long-rumored to be in trouble on its own, but Ubisoft finally delivered the finishing blow and also issued several layoffs at studios involved in making the game as well. With more rumors swirling about Tencent and the Guillemot family talking about a buyout it feels like Ubisoft is in some real danger of having even further repercussions come down the line. Is there a way to stop this for Ubisoft? Does it have to involve a big buyout? Shawn Layden was once again interviewed about the state of gaming, this time focusing on game size and its major cost. Will we see shorter games in the coming years? Or is there something else that we will see as the new trend in gaming? Sean has been playing Fantasian and a little bit of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, while Marc has played Infinity Nikki and has beaten Alan Wake 2. Plus, Foamstars' seasonal content ends early next year, Illfonic Studios issues layoffs, we look at 2024 for Xbox, and much more!

PlayStation Making Some Big Moves for 2025 and Beyond # 425 1:33:03

Although we didn't intentionally mean to take a week off, things fell in a way that forced us to, but at least it was only one week. At this time, Sony has made a few announcements and moves that may make for an interesting 2025 and probably beyond. Sean and Marc have quite a bit to talk about from the last few weeks. Sony has sent a letter of intent to Kadokawa Corporation for possible acquisition. If the acquisition actually happens, Sony would become the majority owner of the company and, by extension, a majority owner of From Software, Spike Chunsoft, Acquire on the video game side, several anime, manga, and light novel production houses, and a whole bunch of other stuff as well. Will this actually happen? Will From Software become the next PlayStation Studio? Or is this more of a Bungie situation? There are also reports via Bloomberg about Sony developing their own native handheld that could potentially play PS5 games. Effectively countering Microsoft's Phil Spencer announcement from the week before, but also equaling the context that its "years away." Will we actually see this handheld? What makes it different than having a separate lower res SKU like Xbox Series S? And will it play PS6 games? Plus, the duo also look back at PlayStation's 2024, the PlayStation 30th anniversary edition to the PS5, Shuhei Yoshida Leaving PlayStation, Could a Final Fantasy VI HD-2D Remake happen? Control 2 is going to be an action RPG, and more!
