    9 Games We’re Dying to See More of at gamescom 2026 - Beyond 957

    Gamescom is rapidly approaching and this week, we run down a handful of games we’re looking forward to seeing more of there: returning faves like The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past DLC, Alien Isolation 2, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, and Mega Man Dual Override, plus No Law, the new FPS from The Ascent’s developers, and of course, some weird or ambitious-looking indies caught our eye including Bad Magpie, Skinface, and Blackwood. In other news, Rockstar’s move to have GTA 6’s gameplay reveal be a Netflix exclusive for 6 hours isn’t that big a deal (in the metaphorical sense, it was definitely a BIG DEAL literally) but we can’t help but wonder how that kind of a marketing move would be received if any other publisher or developer did the same thing. Kingdom Hearts 4 got a bunch of new gameplay shown off at D23, and as two people who don’t particularly like Kingdom Hearts, we don’t have much to say, but we try our best to unpack it. Mostly, it’s just funny that Tetsuya Nomura designed a character with normal sized shoes and a reasonable number of belts. Oh, and we’ve been playing silly video games like Pro Jank Footy, the bonkers Australian–rules football roguelike, and PowerWash Simulator 2’s new Star Wars pack. We also reveal the winner of last weeks poll "Which classic Spider-Man game needs a remaster?". You are never going to guess who won. Beyond!

    Sony Doubles Down on No Discs, God of War Show Recast Rumors & August’s Weirdest Indies - Beyond 955

    Look, it’s a hectic time of year for us, and we’re a little scattered, so this week we’re taking the show on the road and off the beaten path in Big Walk, the new co-op indie puzzle game from House House, the studio behind Untitled Goose Game. It’s an obtuse, meditative social experience that feels somewhere between The Witness, Journey and those “friend slop” games, but a bit less chaotic. Anyway, this week we’re talking about some Sony news - namely, PlayStation finally weighing in on the backlash to the plans to discontinue publishing physical game discs. The God of War show is apparently considering recasting Ryan Hurst with Dave Bautista, who we love, but not as Kratos. Meanwhile, there are some other very cool weird little indie games coming out this month - and we also chat about some new music we’ve been listening to, including deep cut discoveries like Sex Mex, Il Est Vilaine, Bibiza and Avenged Sevenfold’s surprisingly cyberpunk new EP Statica. And, of course, the age old debate: should you buy a 12 foot tall Home Depot skeleton? And is August too soon to have to start thinking about this? Where do people even store those things in the off season? Beyond! Catch up on some of this month’s upcoming games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AZ98G1lkhc Or learn about some of the best, worst and weirdest Spider-Man games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL_qxK2NSA8&pp=ygUZaWduIHNwb2Rlci1tYW4gYmVzdCB3b3JzdA%3D%3DJoin the IGN Discord https://discord.gg/h2T45nkkm6 This weeks show was hosted by Max Scoville and Nick Maillet.

    Everyone’s Celebrating Big Anniversaries Except Sony, What Gives? - Beyond 950

    It feels like everyone’s celebrating milestone anniversaries… except Sony. The original PlayStation turned 30 two years ago, the PS2 hit 25, and the PS3 is now 20, and all of these brought with them some iconic game franchises. Aside from limited edition consoles and themes, Sony seems to be sitting on the sidelines. Meanwhile, the rest of the industry is going all-in: Resident Evil and Tomb Raider are celebrating 30 years with massive remakes, and Nintendo, Xbox, and SEGA are dusting off their biggest classics for modern audiences. In other news, we’re diving into the massive wave of recent game announcements that actually did get us excited. We’re talking Kingdom Hearts IV, GenATLAS, Mobile Suit Gundam: Rogue Orbit, Resident Evil Veronica, Rayman Legends Retold, and the two Star Wars titles we’ve been waiting years for: Zero Company and Galactic Racer. Beyond! 00:00 - Intro 00:48 - Everyone Gets a Milestone Except Sony 27:11 - Kingdom Hearts 4 Is Lookin' Real Good 30:29 - GenATLAS Looks Rad 33:57 - Mobile Suit Gundam: Rogue Orbit 36:57 - Persona 4 and 6 39:24 - Crossfire Is Doing Some Interesting Things With Cover Shooters 48:28 - We’re So Hyped for Star Wars: Galactic Racer & Zero Company 56:26 - Resident Evil Veronica 58:24 - TMNT: The Last Ronin 01:00:42 - Blood Dungeon This weeks show was hosted by Max Scoville, Brian Altano, Jada Griffin, and was produced by Nick Maillet Learn more about your ad choices.

    From Saros to Vampire Crawlers, What Makes a Roguelike We Rogue-Love? - Beyond 944

    Assassin's Creed Black Flag: Resynced is officially real. Can you believe it?! Ubisoft has unveiled the AC Black Flag remake after weeks of leaks, and we're breaking down the full gameplay showcase: what's been remade, what's gone, and what big questions we still need answered before we get our hands on the open-world pirate game. We're also deep in PlayStation leak territory: the Spider-Man face model seems to be teasing Insomniac's next Spider-Man game (or a Venom spinoff?), and Sony Santa Monica's next God of War project is reportedly starring Deborah Ann Woll as Faye, pulling in deities from Chinese, Japanese, and potentially Mayan mythology. Will Marvel’s The Owl appear in either game? We hope not! Then there's Saros. Housemarque's PS5-exclusive cinematic roguelite shooter has gotten its share of reviews, and IGN's 7/10 puts it on the lower end of the critical consensus. We've all played it. The gunplay, the movement, the progression through Carcosa's biomes, all great. But its build variety leaves something to be desired compared to what we love about roguelites. That's got us dissecting what makes games like Vampire Survivors, Balatro, Dead Cells, and Spelunky work so well, and what Saros leaves on the table. Beyond! 00:00 - Intro 01:02 - Assassin's Creed Black Flag: Resynced is officially real 20:44 - Whole Lotta PlayStation Leaks 28:48 - The BEST Spider-Man Villain 32:24 - Saros - A Solid Shooter That Roguelite Fans Will Likely Rogue-love 01:03:39 - Vampire Survivors, Balatro, and More!
