Let us know your thoughts on the latest news Good Morning CoinDroppers! Today we're talking about some new AMD Rumors coming right of the heels of our coverage on the Nvidia RTX 5090 leaks, some new information about the development of Eternal Strands, and a new game from the creators of the first Battle Royal Game, PubG.AMDs RX 8800 XT RumorsWord on the street is AMDs next card may be an absolute beast of a GPU and "potentially" significantly cheaper than the upcoming RTX 5090. Rumor mills are bosting up to a 45% increase in ray tracing performance over AMDs last gen RX 7800XTX. If they can pack that kinda performance into a sub $999 I'll be pretty damn impressed.Eternal StrandsEternal Strands announces a team up with the legendary developer behind Final Fantasy XIV and XVI Yoshi P. What the nature of this partnership is and how involved Yoshi P is with Eternal Strands seems intentionally vague but Yellow Brick Games is no stranger to industry veterans as they have multiple vets from the Dragon Age franchise on their team. I personally am looking forward to Eternal Strands release early next year.Player Unknowns PrologueThe Devs behind the worlds first Battle Royal standalone game are working on a new upcoming survival game that will test and hone features they aim to implement in their Magnum Opus Project Artemis. Will this survival game be any good or will it be a flop? It's hard to tell right now but we'll keep an eye on it.QUICK FIREGoG Warcraft Game PreservationSoul Reaver 1&2 Lost Content Restored in RemasterUbisoft Exects Trying to Tencent?Sony's 30th Anniversary Was Kinda A BustSteam Returns to Console Hardware?COD Black Ops 6 Free TrialPSVRs SDK Update for Hand TrackingAnanta Another Genshi Impact LikeUbisoft X-Defiant being shutdownWe Spend More Time Watching Games that Playing ItCroc Remaster Delayed to 2025Marvel Rivals is Quiet SuccessfulDemon Slayer Game Getting a SequelIndiana Jones is Kind of Amazing?Not Worth it for Sony to Launch Games on XboxKingdom Comme Deliverance 2 Launching a Week EarlyFortnite Passes 14.3 Million Peak PlayersInfinity Nikki has A Fun Gameplay LoopSupport the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Let us know your thoughts on the latest news Good Morning CoinDroppersToday we're talking about the upcoming new flagship GPU from Nvidia the RTX 5090, Elon Musk's statement about wanting to make an AI game studio, and a new game that looks like it might just be an AI disaster. Hope you enjoy the episode! Nvidia RTX5090 LeakNvidia is all set to announce their latest flagship GPU at CES in just over a month but some big leaks came out about it ahead of time. Namely the reported price and some specs such as ram type and specifically how much of it. Will it really be worth the proposed price though?Elon Musk's AI Game StudioThis one is a bit more obscure but recently Elon Musk said he'd like to open a gaming studio that uses AI to "Make Games Great Again" What that means who knows. Will he actually do it? Again, who knows but we're going to talk about it!Paradise The GameA new game was recently demoed and it strikes a weird chord with the feeling we got from the failed FNtastic game The Day Before. Though this game does have one unique hook it uses the same tech a modder used in Skyrim to actually have REAL conversations with NPCs. Is this the next big breakthrough in video games? Our guess is probably not from this developer but who knows.QUICK FIREHalo Combat Evolved VR mod on PCTencent Buys Controlling Stake in Kuro GamesStalker 2 First Major PatchSpace Marine 2 Has Over 5 Million PlayersLies of P DLC, Q1 2025 + New IPHelldivers II Gets GOTY at TIGA AwardsPalWorld x Terraria CrossoverBaldur's Gate 3 Patch 8 +12 Subclasses?!PS2 Sales over 160 Million UnitsNintendo Closing The China Eshop for Switch in 2026Mortal Kombat 1 Sold Poorly, Scrapped Future ContentSony Handheld Rumors ContinueSupport the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Let us know your thoughts on the latest news Good Morning CoindroppersToday we're jumping right into Tim's very long winded (sorry) first impressions of the PS5 Pro and whether or not he thinks it's worth the money. As well as a huge update to an MMO Tim and I have debated buying in on multiple times.PS5 ProThe PS5 Pro is in the wild and surprisingly easy to come by. The best part about this is scalpers are actually selling the console AT A LOSS! so get fucked losers. But does it's availability suggest it's not worth buying or that it's not selling well? Lets find out.PAX DEIPax Dei launched into early access a while ago but just recently got a massive update where the devs basically retouched almost everything in the game. From making the map larger, to streamlining controls and addressing player concerns it really seems like the team is putting in the work to make this a quality MMO but will it have the staying power that Throne & Liberty and Once Human lacks? Time will tell.QUICKFIRESony still has a bunch of single player first party games comingPS5 Pro scalpers getting fuckedSony admits PS Network account on PC is a bad idea, but stick with itAstro Bot sells 1.5 million copiesDeath Stranding, 5 years later shadow drops on XboxKojima bought the Death Stranding IP from SonyHogwarts Legacy II, Hogwarts Legacy sells 30 million copiesGeForce Now Ultimate is no longer UnlimitedNo Man Sky got Mass Effects Normandy as an N7 day updateSega head "accidently" announce they're working on a new Virtua FighterRockstar GTA VI coming next yearTencent fires more peopleNet Ease General Manager caught money laundering and embezzlingSupport the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Let us know your thoughts on the latest news Welp... here it is... Enjoy? From the few minutes I listened to Tim he's definitely a little confused by the fact that I was on a boat in the Atlantic ocean and unable to receive or reply to his messages.Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Let us know your thoughts on the latest news Good Morning CoinDroppers!We're back! sorry for the confusion on last week I did not properly convey to Tim what was going on and so there was some confusion on how the podcast should go but fear not there will be a follow up post to this one (scheduled for the same time) with Tim's audio from that lost episode. Now lets talk about this episode!Ashes of Creation Alpha 2This is by no means the first time we've talked about AoC and this is actually one of our longest running topics on this podcast. Tim and I have been following the development of this potentially ground breaking, genre redefining MMO since it's Kickstarter in 2017. Both of us are incredibly hopeful that this MMO can deliver on it's promise and in just 3 days Alpha 2 wave 1 launches and you can buy access for $120. Now that sure sounds like a steep price and wave 2 in December and wave 3 in May are cheaper. I highly recommend at the very least, checking out this MMO if you haven't already I will likely be buying wave 3 access and Tim is highly considering buying Wave 2. We'll be sure to talk about it if and when we do!Red Dead Reality RedemptionOnce again the fans have to clean up after developers that are too short sided to give their communities what they want and deserve. An incredible moder has ALREADY released a free mod for the recently ported Red Dead Redemption that MASSIVELY improves the visuals of the game. It's not RDR 2 level but its pretty damn impressive and while I'm not forking over 50 bucks to Rockstar for a 14 year old game I'm highly considering giving them $10 when it goes on sale and installing this incredible mod when I do get around to playing it.Dragon Age VeilguardThe final chapter of our coverage of this game. We likely wont ever mention it again but here you'll hear our first and possibly final impressions of this game and I must say I'm still not sure whether its a good game or not but I can say for sure it's not a good Dragon Age game. Bellow you'll also find a link to what I think is the most reasonable review of this game from a YouTuber called Skill Up. It's a 45 minute video but he doesn't just cast empty criticism at the game he shows you evidence and proof of the issues with it. I recommend anyone considering this game watches and really thinks about whether or not they want to pay full price for this game.QUICK FIREHorizon Zero Dawn Remaster looks worth it, overshadowed by DA:V and MH:W BetaZenoblade Chronicles X Announced for SwitchSilent Hill 2s Strange Official UpdateSony Shuts Down Fire Walk Studios Killing ConcordElite Dangerous getting an update next year "colonize the milky way"Death Note is getting a social deduction 10player multiplayer gameSupport the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Let us know your thoughts on the latest news Good Morning CoinDroppers!Just a reminder at the top of the show here I'll be absent from the next podcast as I'm going on a cruse with my wife and daughter and will not be able to stream the podcast. Tim has informed me he is doing a show so stay tuned to the Discord for information on that.Throne & Liberty | Once HumanTonight as a follow up to our last episode I share my experience and thoughts on Throne & Liberty. Last week Chris shared his opinions of the game and it made me want to check it out myself. After that I go a step further and talk about another F2P MMO, Once Human which honestly, suffers from the exact opposite problem of Throne & Liberty in my opinion.Chronos The New DawnChronos The New Dawn is the next game from Silent Hill 2 Dev, Bloober Team. The Sci-fi horror shooter looks heavily inspired by Silent Hill 2 and looks great. No confirmed release date yet but if you're into suspenseful third person shooters that really scratch that Alan Wake, Dead Space, Silent Hill vibe I think this is one you'll want to keep an eye on.Denuvo "Doesn't Affect Game Performance"A recent Q&A with the creator of Denuvo states that Denuvo doesn't actually effect game performance and says that all the issues attributed to Denuvo are actually the developers bad choices. From bad QA not catching an issue in Tekken 7 to using some conflicting software in Resident Evil Village they're putting all the blame squarely on the shoulders of the devs not their software. Is it true? Maybe, maybe not.QUICK FIRESpider Man 2 PC Release Date 30 Jan 25Behemoth launches on 5 December to PC VR, PSVR2, Meta QuestAndy Serkis joins the already amazing Clair Obscur Expedition 33 CastSupport the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Due to technical issues our guest's audio was nearly unusable and I unfortunately had to jump through a lot of extra hoops to try and salvage it. Luckily I was able to make the audio work but it is quiet tinny. So please bare with me on this episode.Throne & LibertyChris joins us on the podcast today to share his impressions form Throne and Liberty. Tim and I have yet to play the game and while both of us were looking forward to it Chris warns us it might not live up to our hopes for it. Well we'll try to get some game time with it this week and do some follow up on the topic next episode.BylinaTim Brings an interesting new title to our attention that looks really interesting. Based of Slavic folklore this game seems to blend these stories with an ARPG style of combat very reminiscent to Diablo, Path of Exiles and other ARPG games. The game doesn't have a release date yet other than a window of some time in 2025 but this may be one to keep your eye on.The Next HaloThe newly branded Halo Studios put out a recent "trailer" where they said all the buzz fraises with little to no substance. The big take away here is Halo is moving to the Unreal Engine. What does this actually mean for the future of Halo? Will it go Multi-platform like we predicted? Will it have native VR support? Time will tell.QUICK FIRENew Pokémon game "Synapse" in development,Metaphor: ReFantazio is Atlus' fastest selling gameHogwarts Legacy "Definitive Edition" rumoredXbox will soon allow you to buy games directly from their App,Splinter Cell Remake might be aiming for a 2026 release date.Disco Elysium "Spiritual Successor" in development at a new studioThe Quiet Place has mic detectionSupport the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Let us know your thoughts on the latest news Good Morning Coin DroppersToday we have only 2 main topics and a whole heaping load of Quick Fire news so lets not delay and get right into the meat of it.Starfield Shattered SpaceBethesda's first DLC expansion to the story of their divisive RPG seems to also be divisive. It doesn't seem to be getting great reception from a lot of places but some fans still say its great. Tim and I Share our thoughts on the topic as well as muse about the future of Bethesda and Elder Scrolls VI.War Game: The Making of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2Stalker 2 is a game unlike any other in history. Made by an amazing Ukrainian developer during an active invasion of their home the devs battled unimaginable mental, physical, and phycological stressors many of us will never even come close to facing. In the wake of Russia's attempted invasion they continued to make the upcoming title and Microsoft had the amazing foresight to record and make a documentary about the development of the game. Even if you have zero interest in purchasing the game I STRONGLY recommend you watch this roughly hour and a half documentary.QUICK FIREHalo Gets 3rd Person in NovemberUntil Dawn Broke on PC LaunchAssassins Creed Shadows Co-op?Ubisoft considering going private with TencentLords of the Fallen 2 confirmedBG3 Mod support on PS5David Hayter Teases Return to MGSSilent Hill 2 Remake is GreatNintendo is currently working on something "Un-Nintendo Like" "Something their not supposed to"Original version of Horizon Zero Dawn no longer availableA "Special release bundle of Twisted Metal on Ps5"Sea of Stars is getting a big free updateBlizzard working with Far Cry Producer on a StarCraft shooterFrom Software giving literally everyone an 11% raisePeople are SUPPORTING FNtastic?!Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!
