We are back breaking down the latest PlayStation State of Play — and let’s just say… 2026 is STACKED. 👀 From the gorgeous spiritual vibes of Kena: Scars of Kusoma to the “Amazon Simulator in the Apocalypse” energy of Death Stranding 2, we’re diving into the biggest reveals without turning this into a 2-hour show.

🧟 Resident Evil 9: Requiem looks absolutely insane — Leon is back, the horror is dialed up, and February 27th can’t come soon enough. 🐔 Yes… we’re playing as a BUFF CHICKEN in Project Windless and somehow it might be one of the most fun-looking games shown. 🗡️ Co-op medieval chaos in Crimson Moon might be our next stream.

🕵️‍♂️ 007 First Light is giving serious Hitman vibes (because yes, it’s from the same studio) and could be the next big movie-to-game home run. 💥 And a God of War Trilogy remake? Are they keeping the infamous mini-games or modernizing everything? The debate gets REAL.

We also talk about why Pragmata looks like a sleeper hit, why John Wick is basically built to be a video game, and see if we’ve been sleeping on some Resident Evil classics

If you love PlayStation, over-the-top action, weird game concepts, and brutally honest takes — this episode is for you.

The Fallout TV series might just be setting the stage for the biggest Fallout comeback ever.

In this episode, we break down spoiler-free reactions to Amazon Prime’s Fallout series, why it’s being called one of the best video game adaptations of all time, and how it connects directly to Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Fallout 4 lore.

We dig into:

How the Fallout show ties into New Vegas, Freeside, and the Battle of Anchorage, Why the timeline placement matters (and what Bethesda is clearly setting up), The mystery Fallout website countdown — and what it actually led to, Fallout 76’s surprise update tied to the show’s finale, Why Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas remasters are almost certainly coming, What a “full-scale remaster” really means (new visuals, voices, and systems), The real price fans should be willing to pay for these remasters, And why Fallout might be bigger now than it’s ever been, and more!

With Season 3 already in the works, Fallout is officially back in the spotlight — and the future of the franchise looks nuclear.

💬 What would you pay for a Fallout 3 or New Vegas remaster?

Would you buy day one… or wait for Game Pass?

Nextgen consoles are coming… but the price might change everything.

With RAM shortages, exploding component costs, and AI soaking up hardware supply, the next wave of consoles is shaping up to be very different from what gamers are used to. We break down the latest rumors around the PS6, the next Xbox, and the Steam Machine — and why Xbox’s strategy might be the riskiest move we’ve seen in years.

PlayStation is reportedly waiting until 2028–2030, betting that RAM prices will normalize. Xbox, on the other hand, wants to launch as early as 2027 with a PC-hybrid console that could cost $1,100–$1,500 depending on the SKU.

Is that bold… or completely out of touch?

If consoles start costing as much as gaming PCs, does the traditional console market survive?

👇 Let us know in the comments:
Would you buy a $1,000+ console — or is that where you’re done?

Ubisoft is making one of the biggest internal shakeups in its history — and it could either save the company… or seriously backfire.

We break down Ubisoft’s decision to split its studios into five separate “houses,” cancel six projects, and delay major releases like the Black Flag remake to 2027. We talk about what this means for Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, Prince of Persia, Rayman, and even why Watch Dogs is suspiciously missing from the lineup.

Is this restructuring a smart way to focus talent and stop burning resources?
Or is Ubisoft quietly shrinking while hoping nobody notices?

We also dive into:
- Why Assassin’s Creed doesn’t need to be annual anymore
- The surprising survival of Skull and Bones
- Whether Ubisoft’s famous “formula” is helping or hurting them
- How separating casual/mobile games could finally help core franchises thrive

If you’re a Ubisoft fan — or worried about where AAA gaming is heading — this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Is Ubisoft fixing its biggest problem… or creating a new one?
