Triangle Squared: A Playstation Podcast

The Game Awards have come and gone in all their splendor, and have left us with a handful of awards and reveals to discuss, on top of the question of the value of The Game Awards in its current state. From big reveals like Star Wars: Eclipse, to updates on games like Horizon: Forbidden West, we shae our thoughts on all the show had to offer and extend the question to the Community to see what they thought of the show! We talk all this and more on this week's Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast! New episodes posts every Monday at 12PM CST/10AM PST This show is possible thanks to the support of our Patrons.

The Game Awards are around the corner, and while we often criticize their lack of focus on rewards, that does at least mean we often get juicy game reveals, so we share our thoughts on what we predict to see at the show and get into talks of the reported tiered PlayStation subscription service that MIGHT aim to be more of an answer for Game Pass than their current offering, but might also be something entirely different. We talk this, Battlefield going back to focusing on story, Godfall's PS Plus version not being the full game, and more while getting the community's thoughts on Game Pass's impact on Game Design.

Since Game Pass started to rise, there have been many who have claimed it will make those games laden with pricey microtransactions. While the game is F2P, Halo: Infinite's MP looks like the fear many had worried about put into action, but is this actually Microsoft showing their changing colors, or the impact of F2P game design coming down on their top franchises. Will games like Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 face such issues, or will Game Pass not affect game design for titles intended to hit it day 1 moving forward. We share our thoughts on this, PlayStation's odd mobile gaming controller patent, the rumored PS Plus games for December including Godfall, a new Marvel MMO in the works at DC Universe Online's developer and more!

Call of Duty: Vanguard has seen a significant drop in sales from last year's outing, specifically in the UK, but it's easy not farfetched to think that drop is happening in other territories. Is this simply Call of Duty fatigue, better competition from other games this year, or is this indicative of troubles within Activision bleeding in and affecting products and reception to them? We share our thoughts on this, as well as ponder what games might have been snubbed from nomination for Game of the Year at this year's The Game Awards, share our thoughts on WB's worst kept secret in the Free to Play platform fighter "Metaversus", and more!

Elden Ring manages brings back around to the forefront the long-running conversation around difficulty and how it does or does not tie into accessibility. Often we hear the arguments about an "artists vision" put up against the argument that when creating, you should account for every possible person who might want to play it. Today, we look at the topic through the question of whether art should be able to be made selfishly, or if it is inherently meant to be put out for others to experience therefore pushing it to account for everyone. We share our thoughts on this, look at the community's feelings of the idea of "Voting With Your Wallet", if Spider-Man coming to Avenger's can move the needle, Metal Gear Solid bringing forth questions of licensing and digital ownership rights, PS5 celebrating it's birthday while simultaneously becoming harder to attain and more!

In an industry where many dislike the push towards microtransactions, games as a service, or fear that story driven games will eventually go away, a game like Guardians of the Galaxy comes along and the question arises: Do gamers have a duty to vote with their wallet and take chances buying games that claim to be the opposite to these issues? We share our thoughts on this, Skyrim releasing for the 20th time with Skyrim: Anniversary Edition, Square-Enix sharing their disappointment with Marvel's Avengers and the lessons they learned from it, the new 15 minutes of gameplay for Elden Ring and the changes it brings to From Software games and more!

Sony confirms PS5 sales that impress, with 13.4 million units being sold as of September 2021, and seemingly move towards doubling down on PC with the new PlayStation PC label. We share our thoughts on this, WBs reported cross-over brawler "Multiversus", how well PS Plus is doing since the PS5 launch, PlayStation's recent third-party focused State of Play, and the community has some fun giving us some fake gaming leaks to react to!

Not far off the back of the Uncharted PC reveal, God of War (2018) joins PlayStation's PC Catalog to show that Sony meant business when they said more PlayStation exclusives would eventually make their way to the platform. We share our thoughts on this, how long we think games will stay truly "exclusive" on PlayStation moving forward, Ubisoft reportedly developing a new Splinter Cell, the delay of Cyberpunk and The Witcher 3 next-gen versions, and Sol shares an odd "leak" experience he had on Reddit that claims Bluepoint is working on a new Jak & Daxter game?

The Washington Post recently put out an article postulating that the modern review process is flawed. Tight deadlines, unnatural pacing of play-time, playing broken builds and more beg the question: Does game review culture need to change? Or is there some value to it's current form? We share our thoughts on this, Elden Ring's leaked gameplay, the new trailers for Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad from DC Fandome, dBrand getting legal action taken against them by Sony, and Brett and Chris's early hours dissapointment with Far Cry 6.

Jim Ryan has a history of off-putting or odd remarks that make the PlayStation fan-base question him, but his recent fireside chat with Gamesindustry.biz brings us an interesting new remark that COULD have an impact on Sony's console strategy and brings forth the question: Is PlayStation's Near Future Off Consoles? We share our thoughts on this, what it means to "believe in generations", Rockstar seemingly bringing a whole bunch of Grand Theft Auto this year to be replayed, what makes Death Stranding so compelling, and what "big" PlayStation game could be getting a remake revealed during the end of the year!

Bluepoint Games was finally announced as acquired by PlayStation, and with it we got a hint that they are working on "original content" as their next game, but does that necessarily mean New IP, or could Sony tap them to create follow-ups to beloved PlayStation games of the past? We talk this, how Twisted Metal might look in the modern gaming space, Konami's reported return to premium console development with new Castlevania & the Metal Gear Solid remake we weren't expecting, and more!

Some new reveals are bringing niche genres or underused game genres back into the limelight, sometimes with a new twist. We share our thoughts on some of our favorite games in more niche genres and talk about genre-bending games and how they fit into the mix. PS4 CMOS battery update, Death Stranding: Director Cut's odd save transfer to PS5 being Kojima at his most meta, what we think Rocksteady is doing with the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game, and our thoughts on a leak for The Last of Us DLC round out the show!

Naughty Dog teased that they were working on a stand-alone multiplayer game based on The Last of Us back when The Last of Us 2 was nearing release, but we've yet to see anything about it since despite a prime opportunity passing with the PlayStation September 2021 Showcase. Has the game been swept under the rug or put on pause to focus elsewhere, faced development issues, or is it building to try and be Sony's biggest competition in the multiplayer space they've stated interest in getting into? Can their biggest IP go toe to toe against the sea of Games as a Service titles like Apex and Call of Duty: Warzone, or would it be more of a 6 month to a year flash in the pan? We discuss out thoughts on this, THQ Nordic's 10th Anniversary stream that brought announcements like Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed, the interesting case of the GeForce Now leak, and more!

After an absence from E3, Gamescom and plenty other larger industry events this year, we finally got a large scope showcase from Sony showing the future of the PlayStation 5's library of games. From 3rd party exclusive partnerships with the likes of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake all the way to a look at their internal studios giving us something to "Marvel" at! We share our thoughts on the showcase, get the community's feedback on the issue of upgrade path's for cross-gen games, discuss Elden Ring's seemingly larger open-world & how "Watchtowers" will aid in exploration, think back on Jim Ryan's remarks that Sony is working on their competitor to Game Pass and what that might really look like should it ever come around, and explore the concerns of IP crossing over into different mediums than its origination!

Sony stepped into some controversy with Horizon: Forbidden West as pre-orders came with the revelation that Horizon didn't offer the same $10 upgrade path from PS4 to PS5 that Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding's Directors Cuts offered, nor the free upgrade announced back alongside Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Sackboy: A Big Adventure. Fans took to social media and finally Sony went back on their decision, and instead clarified that moving forward all cross-gen games will offer a $10 upgrade path.

Gamescom 2021 has came and went and brought with it a handful of exciting announcements like Marvel's Midnight Suns, a tactical RPG from XCOM developer Firaxis, and the obvious lack of Sony there in a meaningful way. Will Sony ever return to form at events like E3 and Gamescom, or can they adapt their State of Play's to keep their name in consumers faces in a different way? We share our thoughts on that, talk Xbox outpacing PS5 yet again with custom consoles and accessories, Saints Row coming back with a fan-base splitting tone, and every game releasing in February 2022 on this week's Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast!

With the announcement of Skyrim releasing yet again, the question is raised between a remastered games' value as a product versus the individual worth that we as consumers give it. Brett and Sol, joined by our new third co-host Chris, go into our thoughts on the matter and discuss the difference between "value" and "worth" as well as talking Activision putting all of it's core developers on Call of Duty, the legacy of that series and it's impact on Activision's business decisions, Blue Box Game Studios giving Abandoned away "free" to owners of The Haunting: Blood Water Curse when you can't even buy that game, and MORE!

What's Sol been up to? How has he been? Is he back for good?

Take-Two have confirmed that by March 2022, they intend to have 3 more "new iterations of previously released titles" coming meaning that remasters and/or remakes of some of thier hottest games could be coming. Red Dead Redemption on PS5? I'm sure many would love it. We talk this, Fatal Frame gunning for a genuine revival ala Resident Evil/Devil May Cry, Xbox's business moves versus their PR speak, and the PS5 being unsurprisingly popular selling more than 10 million in roughly 8 months of release!
