    Episode 132 - The Nine Games That Shaped Us - Pixel Parents Podcast

    What are the nine games that made you the gamer you are today? Scott and Liam join the social media trend, but the grid only tells part of the story.  We explain how these games shaped our tastes, friendships, families and different stages of our lives. These are not simply our nine favourite games. They are the games that made us.

    Episode 131 - Great games, broken industry: Xbox layoffs and gaming’s future - Pixel Parents Podcast

    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!

    Episode 130 - Fixing PlayStation & Marvel’s Wolverine - Pixel Parents Podcast

    PlayStation is still the default place to play for millions of people.  But after an uneven PS5 generation, rising prices and a failed live service push, Sony appears to have lost some of its identity. We look at what PlayStation still gets right, where its confidence has gone and the changes we would make before PS6. That includes more creative games, better communication, new franchises and a return for the studios and ideas that once made PlayStation feel different. Liam also shares his early verdict on Marvel’s Wolverine. It is polished, violent and refreshingly linear, but does it justify its £70 price? Elsewhere, Scott continues his Onimusha Way of the Sword obsession, Liam gives The Blood of Dawnwalker his final verdict and Folk Hero earns the highest possible recommendation. It is ideal for playing on the cludgie. And of course, we’re back in the dock with this week’s Gamer court!

    Episode 129 - Gaming Opinions We Changed Mind About - Pixel Parents Podcast

    We all have gaming opinions that aged badly. Scott has six of them. In this solo episode, he admits he was wrong about Fortnite, game difficulty, digital ownership, Nintendo, Early Access and video game remakes.  He also looks at how age, parenthood and limited free time have changed what he wants from games. Scott also shares his first impressions of Onimusha Way of the Sword, reacts to Nintendo’s Ocarina of Time remake and the latest Nintendo Direct, and discusses Xbox stepping in to publish Hideo Kojima’s Physint after PlayStation cancelled its involvement. #GamingPodcast #Onimusha #NintendoDirect Subscribe for weekly gaming discussions from two adult gamer parents. https://www.youtube.com/@PixelParentsPodcast In this episode: Onimusha Way of the SwordNintendo/Zelda Direct Kojima Productions and XBOX partner for PhysintScott becomes Frasier Crane GET BONUS SHOWS AND MORE BY JOINING OUR ALWAYS FREE PATREON (www.patreon.com/pixelparents) Music licensed through Soundstripe.Code BMB591ST2JKNHXWE #GamingPodcast #TheWitcher3 #GamingPodcast — CHAPTERS 00:00 Gaming opinions that aged badly 00:43 Scott takes over the podcast 03:08 Onimusha Way of the Sword impressions 14:57 The Legend of Zelda Direct 17:23 Ocarina of Time remake gameplay 22:13 Nintendo Direct reactions 24:37 Professor Layton and Metroid 29:18 Persona 4, Persona 6 and Kirby 31:45 Xbox saves Kojima’s Physint 34:09 Does the move actually matter? 36:33 PlayStation’s troubling direction 40:47 Gaming hot takes that went cold 43:08 Difficulty does not make a game better 45:34 Digital games won 47:58 Scott was wrong about Nintendo 50:21 Early Access and unfinished games 52:46 Remakes are not inherently lazy 55:13 Age and parenthood changed everything 57:38 September’s next big releases 01:02:23 Sign off --- Write to us: pixelparentspodcast@gmail.com Follow us on BlueSky: @pixelparents.bsky.socialMusic & production by Sean Murray – barehandsdesigns.com New episodes every Friday.

    Episode 128 - Which Older Games Deserve One More Expansion? - Pixel Parents Podcast

    Should developers stop abandoning successful single-player games after one expansion pass? The Witcher 3 is returning with Songs of the Past, giving players a reason to revisit Geralt’s world more than a decade later. This week, we ask which other finished games deserve the same treatment. Scott wants more Sekiro, Red Dead Redemption 2, Super Mario Odyssey and Days Gone. Liam makes the case for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Batman: Arkham Knight and another Bloodborne expansion. We also endure PlayStation’s latest State of Play, deliver our final thoughts on Starfield for Pixel Picks Replay and take Sonic the Hedgehog to Gamer Court. Which finished game deserves one more expansion? Let us know.

    Episode 127 - GTA VI Looks Incredible. But Can We Afford Next Gen?- Pixel Parents Podcast

    Has GTA VI finally shown us what this console generation can really do? GTA VI’s extended look may be the best demonstration yet of what the current console generation can achieve. Liam reacts to Rockstar’s 27-minute presentation, including the return to more methodical Red Dead Redemption 2-style gameplay, the extraordinary lighting and world detail, Jason and Lucia’s relationship, changes to the wanted system, new activities and the soundtrack. The presentation left him astonished, but it raised a larger question. If GTA VI can run on PS5 and Xbox Series X, what would make us buy another generation of consoles? With console, accessory and handheld prices continuing to rise, Liam admits that he may not buy the next PlayStation or Xbox at launch. Could a dedicated PlayStation handheld, cloud gaming or simply keeping the PS5 Pro offer a better alternative? We also look back at Gamescom and Opening Night Live, including Gears of War E Day, Warlock Dungeons & Dragons, Stage Tour, Final Fantasy VII Revelation and several hours that could have used a good edit. Elsewhere, Liam returns to Mad Max, Shadow of War and Marvel Snap. The Last of Us becomes September’s Pixel Picks Replay game, while Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth face Gamer Court. Would you still buy a new console on day one, and what is the highest price you would accept?

    Episode 126 - Where Gaming Fits When Life Gets Hard - Pixel Parents Podcast

    Where does gaming fit when life gets hard? After unexpectedly being made redundant, Liam found himself questioning whether he deserved to spend time playing games. It took a return to Spider-Man 2 to remind him that enjoying something during a difficult period does not mean ignoring what has happened. Scott also reflects on returning to Death Stranding, and why its message of simply putting one foot in front of the other meant so much to him. We discuss gaming as comfort, escapism and a small source of control when life feels uncertain. Games cannot solve serious problems, but sometimes they can help us feel a little more like ourselves. We also answer a listener question about how we find time to play as parents, catch up on the alleged GTA VI gameplay leak and return to Gamer Court. Elsewhere, Scott finishes The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, shares his impressions of Kynseed and continues his strange new life as a miner in Starfield.

Liam and Scott lock in their scores for GTA 6, Marvel’s Wolverine, Silent Hill Townfall, Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave, Control Resonant, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 and more.
