Extreme Gaming Podcast

This episode the crew debates rumors around GTA 6, including delayed physical editions, staggered PC releases, and whether Rockstar is once again triple-dipping its way to the moon. Things take a nostalgic turn with a fan-made Banjo-Kazooie PC port running at 4K, 120 FPS, and ultrawide, proving modders are still doing the work publishers won’t. Hardware talk with Micro Center’s shockingly good Ryzen X3D bundle deals, rampant DDR5 RAM shortages, and reports of RAM being stolen straight out of Costco display PCs. We dive into fake RTX 5090 listings, absurd resale prices, Rainbow 6 Siege, new Alienware, DDR4 prices rising faster than DDR5, and much more.

This episode is packed February preview mixed with classic EGP banter and a side of hardware soul-searching. The crew runs through upcoming releases like Resident Evil Requiem, Nioh 3, Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, High On Life 2, and Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, debating prices, difficulty, and whether fun should ever require suffering. Xbox’s Dev Direct also gets attention, with strong impressions of Fable, curiosity around Beast of Reincarnation, and cautious optimism for Forza Horizon 6, because apparently ray-tracing Tokyo needs its own power plant. On the hardware side, discussions drift into frame rates, 60 FPS acceptance, AMD X3D CPUs, and Trev officially ditching his PS5 Pro to fund a PC upgrade. The episode wraps with sobering talk on Ubisoft layoffs, industry churn, and why smaller studios may end up saving gaming after all.discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast

This week blends hardware frustration with uncomfortable industry realities. Alongside heated debates over AMD’s X3D woes, GPU pricing chaos, and DLSS 4.5 coping strategies, the crew dives into a wave of gaming news that feels anything but upbeat. Ubisoft layoffs spark concerns about studio stability, while sacked Rockstar developers reportedly walking away unpaid, raises eyebrows about how disposable talent has become. Intel’s upcoming Panther Lake CPUs get a cautious look, Sonic celebrates an improbable 35 years, and rumors swirl around a potential release window for Forza Horizon 6. There’s also optimism, with Enshrouded officially locking in a 1.0 launch this autumn, contrasted sharply by existential dread around VR as Meta shutters three VR studios—prompting the uncomfortable question: is this the beginning of the end for consumer VR? Equal parts news roundup, humor, venting, and reality checks. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast

EGP 315 turns into a CES therapy session as Gray, Trev, and Hans unpack why the Consumer Electronics Show felt anything but consumer-friendly. Between NVIDIA, AMD, and endless AI buzzwords, CES looked more like a corporate earnings call than a gamer showcase, with Jensen Huang’s shiny jacket getting almost as much attention as GPUs. The crew digs into missing Ryzen reveals, questionable charts, DLSS 4.5, frame generation madness, and why cloud gaming via GeForce Now keeps creeping closer to center stage. Things get delightfully weird with Razer’s Project Ava (aka the holographic waifu assistant nobody asked for but everyone wants), foldable phones, RAM shortages, and fears that PC building is becoming a museum hobby. The episode wraps with Rockstar Games, union disputes, and why the industry feels like it’s changing faster than gamers can keep up. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast

This Episode kicks off with New Year cheer, and diving headfirst into the looming future of gaming. The crew debates whether PC enthusiasts are becoming an endangered species as Microsoft, NVIDIA, Steam, and Game Pass push gaming toward the cloud. Physical games are fading, hardware prices are exploding (hello RTX 5090), and subscriptions, ads, and tiered performance plans threaten ownership as we know it. From GeForce Now hour caps to fears of “watch ads to play,” the panel wonders if we’re heading for a future of rented GPUs, retro backlogs, and Chromebooks pretending to be gaming rigs. Optimism is… cautiously buffering.discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast
