Episode 506: Anger Foot, Xbox Cancellations

It's another rough week of news over at Microsoft with the announcement that a bunch of games have been cancelled and more people laid off. What does this mean for the future of the platform and more broadly - how do you navigate being a fan of an art form that is governed purely by corporate interests and rife with attitudes that are so removed from fun and escapism? As an antidote to all of this harshness, we've been playing and loving the great new (for PS5) indie game Anger Foot!

Episode 505: Is XBox Hardware Dead? AI In Games, Death Stranding 2 & Mario Kart World Further Thoughts
The popular survival game The Alters has been found to have been using Generative AI. Is this a big deal? What does the spread of AI mean for the future of game development? And what does the mass layoffs at Xbox mean for the future of hardware development? Big questions that we do our best to wildly speculate on! Meanwhile, we're still sinking tonnes of hours into Death Stranding 2: On The Beach and Mario Kart World and we've got further thoughts on both of those games after our initial day one impressions over the last couple of weeks!
