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. Lethal Company, Just Act Natural, and more party/group games. Also, Chicken broke Silent Hill 2. Because of course he did. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

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!

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!

This week in the news: Take Two bought Gearbox from Embracer Group. There might be a new Splinter Cell on the way. Footage of the canned Batman game that turned into Shadow of Mordor is making the rounds. Xbox wants more digital storefronts and game preservation. New viral hit Content Warning devs say they're working on server issues. And as for what everyone's been playing? Well it's all over the place. From Halo to Diablo to Lethal Company, the crew has kept themselves busy! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week Oak's out and sometimes Baka's mic gets weird. Sorry in advance for that last one. In the news: The Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is off to a rough start. WB's MultiVersus fighter is back and launching in May. Capcom is giving everyone a raise. Tim Sweeny was a jerk in an email and someone replied with the classic "U Mad Bro". The next Mario Bros movie will be out in 2026. And SAG-AFTRA is considering a strike due to lack of protections when it comes to AI voice work. In non-news fun times, the N64 is all the rage at Grif & Chicken's house lately. Game funks all around lead to playing lots of smaller games. Sometimes breaks are good!

This week in the news: Supermassive and Sony are both laying people off in large chunks. Embracer Group is selling a couple of studios amid their continuing "restructuring". And the trailer for the upcoming Borderlands movie dropped. Is it top tier or trash? With the bad news out of the way, time to talk about what everyone has been playing lately! Turns out no one is a good teammate! WHAT?! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Embracer is no longer the good guys we all thought they were. Ubisoft's first AAAA game isn't looking too hot. Microsoft is looking to share a few of their exclusives with Nintendo and Sony. Helldivers 2 is doing so well the devs just weren't prepared! And the release of the Switch 2 has reportedly moved to Q1 2025. What's everyone been playing? Games with a lot of murder! First Class Trouble, Lethal Company, & SO much more!
