Red Dead Redemption was finally confirmed after months of rumors, but the truth isn't quite what the rumors promised as the game makes it way to PS4 and Switch as less a remaster and more a "conversion", Activision boldly announces Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 for the second time in our lives, and a LOT of questions from you! We share our thoughts on these, while checking in on YOU, the Community's, thoughts on Square Enix and how much you value their long running partnerships with PlayStation, and have the readers bombard us with their burning questions!

After a great quarter for EA, due in large part to the success of Respawn's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, EA have announced that the game will be looking to make it's way to last-gen systems with a PS4 and Xbox One release aiming for next year. In a time where gamers are hoping to leave last gen systems behind, does this spell interest in EA in continuing cross-gen games? We share our thoughts on that, Final Fantasy 14 Online's new expansion bringing next-gen console improvements and bringing them game to Xbox for the first time, if a rumored The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake could make it's way to PlayStation or if it'll become another exclusive for Microsoft, what PlayStation mash-ups YOU in the Community would like to see in gaming, and a particularly daring Velvet's Corner!

While not a full on acquisition, Techland have announced that Tencent will become majory share holder, leaks showing Project Q in action come to light answering some questions while raising new ones, and job listings suggest Insomniac may have a 3rd, unnanounced, game in the works for PS5 that COULD be a multiplayer title. We share our thoughts on all that, while looking at Game Pass and PS Plus sharing their first simultaneous Day & Date release with Sea of Stars, High on Life shadow dropping onto PS5 after its stint of Xbox exclusivity, confirm the long running leak of Mortal Kombat 1's first Kombat Pass fighters, and talk Sony confirming that special edition consoles will have separate plates and controllers for existing owners to purchase to spruce up their consoles!

This week sees plenty of love for old games alongside rumors for not so old games with Limited Run Games announcing the Gex Trilogy remaster alongside other classics like Tomba, The Last of Us 2 MIGHT be getting a PS5 remaster if the games composer is to be believed, and Microsoft winning the case against the FTC to allow them to move forward with the Activision Blizzard merger, or at least move to the next roadblock by way of the CMA. We share our thoughts on these, while checking out July's PS Plus Extra and Premium tier additions bringing newer classics like It Takes Two and Fast & Furious to subscribers alongside a return of the first two Twisted Metal games ahead of the live action series debut, look at the community's preference for multiplayer design, and look at what game genres we think are becoming satrurated while asking what genres we miss and SO MUCH MORE!

We share our thoughts on this and the rise of licensed games once more, look at Firesprite growing into their new office space for their studio and how they might be useful to PlayStation in the future, and talk Xbox's current win against the FTC case over the Activision buyout and how that might shake out by the end of it all.

Exclusivity is no longer in question for the Indiana Jones game from Bethesda, Jim Ryan says that publishers "unanimously dislike Game Pass", Final Fantasy 6 COULD join the ranks of remakes from the long running series if the developers get their wish, Sony's head of Mobile has left the company leading us to ask what Sony could do in the mobile space to make a splash, and People Can Fly MIGHT not be the dev behind the rumored "Gears of Effect" dubbed PS exclusive that leaked last year! All this while checking in on what the Community thinks about the DualSense's push towars immersion versus Xbox doubling down on classic controller ideas, talk about what makes a great game ending, ponder what we might do if we worked in the game's industry, and which video game characters we'd employ for our day to day tasks!

After a week off during the busiest week in gaming for the year, we return with guest Luke Lohr, The Insipid Ghost, from the Xbox Expansion Pass podcast to get a fresh perspective on how PS+ has come along in the face of steep competition with Game Pass, if and why PlayStation might start putting 1st party titles on PS+ day and date, how showcases lean toward showing games without gameplay and if that is a problem, and more! Join us as we dig into these topics, answer what PlayStation studio might be able to make a game more in the vein of Starfield or Tears of the Kingdom and who we'd like to see try, and ponder over a hypothetical fist fight between some of gamings most known personalities in another wild Velvet's Corner on this week's Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast!

After more than 600 days since the last Showcase event, PlayStation Showcase 2023 brought an end to that drought. With a collection of indie games, 3rd party games, a look into PSVR2's future library including a seemingly fully playable Resident Evil 4 Remake, and a few first party titles, the question becomes: Was the wait worth it? We have fun prediting what we'll see at the showcase, and then checking back in after watching the showcase to react to what was shown, discuss how the event landed, and more!

Hot off the back of PixelOpus closure, another PlayStation game may be having issues as partner studio Deviation is hit with layoffs, signaling potential issues with their PS5 AAA multi-player game, begging the question: Is Deviation's PS5 project dead? We share our thoughts on this, look at Blizzard announcing Overwatch 2 will not longer get it's single player campaign that was promised alongside the reveal of the game, get teased for a reboot to long time fighting classic Mortal Kombat, talk about "milking" IP and how the negative or positive connotations often come with the quality of the products that come from that, ask who or what is PlayStation's "mascot" in the modern era, look at what the Community want to see from the PlayStation Showcase and more!

Not much big movements in the gaming industry this week, but SEGA does join in on the acquisition fun by acquiring Rovio, Final Fantasy XVI enjoys a new burst of hype following the recent State of Play, & Spider-Man leaves PS+ making users wonder if this is something we can expect from PlayStation first party games moving forward or something else. We share our thoughts on these, while looking at Media Molecule hitting the news again with the announcement that their co-founder is leaving the company, Suicide Squad's delay is finally confirmed by WB and Rocksteady as it moves into 2024, Remedy assure that Alan Wake 2 will be a 2023 title alongside revealing their new logo and get a feel on what the community would do with a blank check to develop any video game they wanted!

In the still slow news time we find ourselves in, Media Molecule stirs up emotions by announcing that Dreams has reached end of support as they move on to a new project, Tom Henderson breaks silence on his "Sony Hardware" rumors entailing a handheld that is Remote Play focused, a key Halo figure leaves Microsoft leaving Chris to wonder the value of Sony approaching him should the need arise to re-visit the "Halo Killer" era by looking to create a "Call of Duty Killer" should the ABK deal go through. We share our thoughts on all this, Resident Evil 4's addition of microtransactions and whether we think it is a shady practice to do so AFTER the review period, State of Play coming with even more Final Fantasy 16 footage, if PSVR2 is actually "flopping" or if games media are being inflammatory, and detail our rediculous idea for a Triangle Squared game involving interdimensional travel, death by sexy, and a plot to foil the ongoing trophy competition in a bid to rule the world in the wildest Velvet's Corner yet.

Tom Henderson teases new Sony Hardware that is supposed to hit before the rumored PS5 Pro, could this be a return to handheld and if so, what shape might that take? We share our thoughts on this, E3's attempt to return proving the end of the once invincible "biggest week in gaming", SEGA having some fun with the Sonic The Hedgehog IP by killing Sonic, and Konami investing to dive back deep into the world of AAA games development they abandoned nearly a decade ago, while discussing rising development costs and how that translates to infalted development schedules, how those development schedules might be impacting the "showcase" style showings we'd like to see at least once a year from publishers, ARK 2 delaying into next year, check in on the Metacritic Draft standings so far, and more!
