Episode notes

The episode combines industry news with an extensive nostalgic segment about the consoles that shaped the participants. After discussing the games they have recently played, they review a PlayStation update involving Discord and cloud gaming, along with the Game Pass and PS Plus catalogs. The main current-affairs section focuses on Ubisoft: its stock-market decline, the delays to Skull & Bones, the weakening of its franchises, and the possibility of a future acquisition. They also discuss the Xbox and Bethesda Developer Direct, Starfield’s absence, and expectations surrounding Redfall. The series The Last of Us also receives attention because of its positive early reviews. In the segment devoted to “the consoles of our lives,” they recall PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Xbox 360 failures, compare controllers, discuss which systems they took on trips, and remember piracy on several platforms. The closing section revisits favorite generations, fake consoles, LCD machines, N-Gage, Sega Saturn, Wii U, and Dreamcast, before debating the digital future, cloud gaming, virtual reality, and the continued role of consoles.
