    Episode 133 - Gears of War is Back… Let’s Get Physical - Pixel Parents Podcast
    Oct 9 2026

    Physical games were about more than owning a disc.


    Game shops, midnight launches, manuals, trade ins and lending games to friends all helped make gaming feel like a visible culture.


    This week, we ask what digital convenience has cost us, what today’s younger players may never experience and whether physical gaming is already beyond saving.


    We also share our first impressions of Gears of War E Day, including its horror atmosphere, incredible opening act and why it feels like the Xbox game we have been waiting for, plus:


    In this episode:

    • Gears of War E-Day
    • Ghost of Yōtei Echoes of Sekigahara
    • Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave
    • PES 6 Master League
    • The Vale Lostbound
    • Pixel Picks Replay
    • Gamer Court

    Episode 131 - Great games, broken industry: Xbox layoffs and gaming’s future - Pixel Parents Podcast
    Sep 25 2026
    Gaming has rarely been better, but the industry behind it has rarely looked more unstable.Another 268 Xbox jobs have been cut, Halo is moving to a new team within Activision, and more studios face uncertain futures. But this feels much bigger than one company making bad decisions.Scott and Liam discuss the rising cost of making games, unsustainable expectations, the future of AA development and why the next console generation could leave normal players behind.Are we taking one of the best periods for playing video games for granted while the foundations underneath it change?Elsewhere, Scott gives Onimusha: Way of the Sword a nine out of ten and prepares for a brutal platinum run. Liam finishes The Blood of Dawnwalker and Marvel’s Wolverine before becoming dangerously invested in Star Wars Zero Company.Gamer Court also returns with more outrageous claims from the dock! Who will be guilty of a horrendous take?Join our free Patreon communityhttps://bit.ly/SupportPixelParentsSubscribe for weekly gaming discussions from two adult gamers.https://www.youtube.com/@PixelParentsPodcastIn this episode:The Blood of Dawnwalker Marvel’s Wolverine Onimusha: Way of the SwordStar Wars Zero CompanyFire Emblem Fortunes WeaveMain Topic: Great games, broken industryGamer CourtGET BONUS SHOWS AND MORE BY JOINING OUR ALWAYS FREE PATREON (www.patreon.com/pixelparents)Music licensed through Soundstripe.Code BMB591ST2JKNHXWE#GamingPodcast #TheWitcher3 #GamingPodcast—CHAPTERS00:00 Gaming is brilliant, but the industry is struggling00:55 Welcome to Pixel Parents04:26 Onimusha: Way of the Sword final verdict10:15 Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave18:16 Finishing The Blood of Dawnwalker19:36 Marvel’s Wolverine final verdict25:36 The pull of Control Resonant27:19 Star Wars Zero Company impressions31:27 Solitaire, Frasier and comfort gaming32:45 Xbox cuts another 268 jobs34:03 What is changing across Xbox37:12 What happens to The Coalition?40:59 Is Xbox preparing to be sold?42:01 Why buy an Xbox now?48:21 Great games, broken industry50:43 Gaming in 2026 has been brilliant54:37 Can a creative year still be a failure?57:51 Why making games feels so unstable59:40 Are huge games becoming unsustainable?1:03:26 Creativity versus financial success1:07:28 Have player expectations gone too far?1:12:02 Will this be our last console generation?1:17:49 Can you trust a free hardware review?1:20:23 PlayStation and Xbox have lost our trust1:23:37 Is the backlog gaming’s future?1:24:56 What we want gaming to become1:32:24 Pixel Picks Replay1:33:29 Gamer Court1:33:52 Do we need another Elder Scrolls or Fallout?1:36:34 Far Cry 3 deserves more respect1:39:46 Closing the show—Write to us: pixelparentspodcast@gmail.comFollow us on BlueSky: @pixelparents.bsky.socialMusic & production by Sean Murray – barehandsdesigns.comNew episodes every Friday.🎧 Listen on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/2JE8TeviD5XXuiqVYxj63Q?_reload_cause=banner-auto-reload🍎 Listen on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/pixel-parents-video-game-podcast/id1740836394💖 Join the FREE Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/pixelparents🦋 Follow us on Blueskyhttps://bsky.app/profile/pixelparents.bsky.social📺 Subscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@PixelParentsPodcast/S✉️ Email the showpixelparentspodcast@gmail.com
