Dense Pixels

Turns out the game about an isolated banana republic will have come political commentary in it? Who could've imagined? I guess it took a lot of Far Cry fans with poor reading comprehension skills by surprise. CDPR has no clue when Cyberpunk 2077 will be back on PlayStation. Sony is probably financially flexing on 2K Games and players are the ones to suffer.  EA is making stupid amounts of money from one aspect of their games. Carrie correctly called the E3 leak. And now you can letter in...Smash Bros?   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server! - www.densepixels.com/fans You can now follow us on Twitch!

Micah and Brad have both moved onto Mass Effect 2, and what a game it is. It's a week of remakes with Carrie giving her impressions of Shin Megami Tensai III: Nocturne HD Remaster. Twitch has a new policy around hot tub streamers. Ubisoft is trying real hard, allegedly. We talk about what we would like from a new Final Fantasy game. And we finally lay to rest the question of whether Micah will ever play No Man's Sky.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server! - www.densepixels.com/fans You can now follow us on Twitch!

Mass Effect Legendary Edition has arrived...and Brad beat ME1 in a weekend! We talk mostly about that in impressions. Microsoft flexes their exclusivity muscle with StarField. EA is saying all the right things about the Codemasters acquisition...but have they actually mended their meddling ways? We talk about the best wrestling documentaries, and the update that might get us to actually play Call of Duty: Warzone.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server! - www.densepixels.com/fans You can now follow us on Twitch!

More Apple vs Epic trial news has led to the most existential question of our times: can a banana be nude? Oh, and Apple's defense might have gotten completely blown up. Brad talks his trepidation with EA's acquisition of Metalhead Studios. We give you our picks for the best starter rouge-like (or -lite) game. Nintendo has all the money and have sold all the Switches. Oh yeah, and a little game called Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is coming this week!   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server! - www.densepixels.com/fans You can now follow us on Twitch!

The (video game) trial of the century has begun, and discovery has brought to light some staggering facts about Epic Games' finances particularly. Brad gives his initial impressions of Returnal and a more fleshed out view of Warframe, Carrie describes why Pokemon Snap is a perfect slice of fun, Sony invests in Discord, Microsoft just became much friendlier to PC developers, and what the hell is going on with the Pokemon TCG?   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server! - www.densepixels.com/fans You can now follow us on Twitch!

We find out Micah will try almost anything for free as he gives his impressions of MLB: The Show 21. Brad is back into Warframe and Carrie has a PS5! We talk Capcom setting good feet forward, CD Projekt Red setting bad feet forward, the new fastest-selling console ever, Destiny players being ticked off about transmog, game developer's fundamental misunderstanding of the marketplace, and the return of The Noid?!   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server! - www.densepixels.com/fans You can now follow us on Twitch!

First - the video games. Brad is back to an old favorite. Carrie is back and tells us all about Monster Hunter Rise. Sony puts out a nice PS5 update and is making a very unnecessary remake. Nintendo show off new indies and has released what could be out new obsession.  Then - the wrestling! We just experienced 7 consecutive days of WWE wrestling and we break down the good, the bad, and the just plain confusing while we pontificate where the storylines are going to go from here.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server! - www.densepixels.com/fans You can now follow us on Twitch!

Brad made his choice as far as which game to play from last week. Micah also gives his early impressions of Outriders. We talk the major coup that Microsoft has pulled off with MLB: The Show 21 and why Sony might not be as put out by the move as you may think. The FBI is helping investigate CSGO match fixing. Outriders dunks all over Marvel's Avengers in its first week. And reports of E3's death might have been premature.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server!

We are spoiled for choice right now, and Brad can't decide which game he should sink his teeth into next. Micah makes a compelling case for Disco Elysium. Might we have reason for optimism for a video game movie with Ghost of Tsushima? Call of Duty is going to give World War II a try with their next game. And Cyberpunk 2077 has put out a bevy of fixes but it's probably still not enough to make us care.    Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server!

Sony is about to pull one of the first prominent digital console game markets off the grid. We talk the cost of convenience and whether it's actually a big deal this is happening. We also discuss FIFA Ultimate Team scandals, what Microsoft should do to make Game Pass the thing every Xbox user has, and why Hulk Hogan sucks.    Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server!

A Post Office for the ages, as we go in on Sephiroth - justifiably - for like 10 minutes. We also discuss why we need to change our mindset on the Sony-Microsoft rivalry, Meyers Leonard sorry he got caught, and a new TMNT beat-em-up!   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server!

Strauss Zelnick had deemed the market ready for $70 games, so $70 games we shall have! We discuss the merits of this and later, the merits of preordering in a gaming world where even the biggest games can launch incomplete. We also discuss the Six Days in Fallujah publisher facing reality, Brad's initial impressions of Final Fantasy VII Remake, and why a new Switch probably isn't going to be worth the cost.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server!

We pour one out for our buddy Anthem and bask in EA finally - apparently - seeing the light. It's also Square week apparently, as we have lots to say about Bravely Default II, Outriders, Project Triangle Strategy, and Final Fantasy VII Remake - Intergrade. Google Stadia has reportedly been a cluster f, lots of exciting Pokemon news was announced last week, and I guess there was also a State of Play...allegedly?   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server!

...but we don't have any Breath of the Wild 2 stuff to talk about! Please accept our apologies *bows deeply*. We are talking about the recent Nintendo Direct though. We also discuss what we'd be willing to pay to get better stock controllers, the beginning of oil money entering gaming, the update that could finally ensnare Micah into the clutches of No Man's Sky, and whether or not you may have violated the Geneva Conventions.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server!

Mixed bag of new impressions from the team this week with Super Mario 3D World, Destruction All-Stars, and What the Golf?, two of which are fun games and one...less so. Sony's making all the money with PS5 while Dbrand has decided to stick their thumb in Sony's eye. Yet another game developer making a political game has made a mealy-mouthed anti-political statement. Oh, and CDPR is back in the news again...getting EPICALLY PWNED, apparently.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server!

What a damn week! We finally have first details of the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, we're coming off yet another solid Royal Rumble, Warzone cheaters might be ruining the community long term, and Stadia makes some ominous news. We also discuss what the title matches might look like at Wrestlemania with the Rumble winners, another banger of a PlayStation Plus month, and much more!   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server!

GameStop's market value increased 18 times because people on Reddit were bored (how the hell is the stock market a thing?!). We also talk about Microsoft f'ing around...and quickly finding out. Fox News is to blame for Mass Effect waiting a while to get more progressive, we find out if Micah is going to play Resident Evil Village (lol no), and Brad rounds out his thoughts on Ghost of Tsushima now that he's finished the game.    Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server!

This week: what Capcom could have up their sleeve for the Resident Evil 25th Anniversary event, the CDPR apology was lacking, especially in the wake of another excellent Jason Schreier piece, a surprise Star Wars game announcement and what it could mean for The Division, the fighting game community attempts to police themselves with predictable results, how is Monster Hunter Rise shaping up on Switch, and how are we feeling about our Premier League picks?   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels We have a Discord server!

We talk about the newest "Indy" game people got super excited about today, some of the insane speed runs from Awesome Games Done Quick this past weekend, what the hell a "POGCHAMP" is, our favorite Intercontinental Championship runs, and which watch/statues we would buy if money were no object.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show: www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Dense Pixels You can now follow us on Twitch!
