Is Naughty Dog really making Uncharted 5? We break down the latest rumor, Sony’s new PS5 upscaling tech, and another rough week of layoffs across the games industry. We also talk Marvel’s Wolverine, Chris finally finishing Control and Alan Wake 2, 007 First Light, Sly Cooper, game pricing, and whether Alan Wake 2 has one of the best stories in gaming.
Bungie wants to reclaim Destiny, Xbox is restructuring again, and Kojima’s Physint is reportedly leaving PlayStation for Xbox. We also dig into Marvel’s Wolverine and the problems surrounding modern AAA game design, whether the PlayStation boycott actually accomplished anything, Sony shutting down The Last of Us Part II multiplayer mod, and why Alpha Protocol might be one of the best bad games ever made. Plus, RuneScape: Dragonwilds, Dawnwalker, L.A. Noire, Goo Deer, and plenty more.
This week on Triangle Squared, we talk Star Wars: Zero Company, why Blood of Dawnwalker's time limit might not be restrictive enough, Mortal Shell 2, Palworld, and the $3 game Chris can't stop playing.
With Rockstar bringing its next GTA 6 look to Netflix first, we talk about why this game has become bigger than the usual gaming audience and why, if you're already following every update, the promotion probably isn't even for you.
