Primarily that we will officially be at PAX West as media this year and I cannot understate how excited I am by that. Thank all of your for your listener and viewship. We really couldn't have done this without you and I cannot be more grateful to you all.Resident Evil RequiemWe got some gameplay of the long awaited RE9 as well as a bit of an interview. So once again we're gonna talk about Resident Evil and clear up the incredibly incorrect information we said last time. Sorry about that.Blood MessageBlood Message is an excellent new game from Net Ease that looks like they achieved all the things Ubisoft failed to do with Assassins Creed Shadows. Honestly this game looks amazing and if it can deliver the narrative single player experience it seems to promise it will be a very good game.QUICK FIRE NEWSLegacy of Kain: Defiance could be getting a RemasterMindsEye Devs starts lay off processMods website, Nexus got sold to someone who immediately promised no NFTS or SubscriptionsDayZ is getting an expansions called Badlands in 2026The screen on the Switch 2 is actually TrashMonster Hunter Wilds PC version getting Improvements but it's still has CPU issuesLittle Nightmares is getting a VR Game, and remastersRush coming back to BattlefieldReady or Not getting a console versionMinsk is coming soonLet us know your thoughts on the latest news Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

I mean the level of detail and scale of what they've put together so far is nothing short of amazing.Switch 2Switch 2 released and to no one' surprise it's sold out everywhere. The question is, are scalpers buying up all the consoles or are sales ACTUALLY good?

We've got some feeling and some thoughts however it's important to keep in mind that the game is still in early access and everything is subject to change.No Life: Zombie SurvivorNew Indie game from a solo dev that plays similar to Vampire Survivors has been shown off and it looks like a fun take on the bullet hell genera. An action Roguelike with zombies and character upgrades , PLUS a dog companion? I'm interested. No release date yet but hopefully soon.Analytics of the IndustryFaela, my wife and a financial analyst talks to us about the never ending push to have year over year growth as well as the interesting differences between how different countries track and report income and loss.QUICK FIRE NEWSDave the Diver Devs are being a bit cagey about their next gameThe rarest video games in history has been preservedKingmakers gets PC specs announcement, Storage space required is less than 100GBProject Zomboid mod adds a ton of content and France as the settingEA Cancels the Black Panther Game I didn't even know was in developmentSomeone remade the old X-Men Arcade beat 'em up as a free software you can get nowLet us know your thoughts on the latest news Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Good Morning Coindroppers!Today we have a special guest with us so please forgive the shit audio as it was kind of a last minute decision. Bski flew in for my birthday over the weekend and we had him on the show. Unfortunately this wasn't exactly planned so he had to record at my wife's desk right next to mind and our audio bled a bit. We did our best but hey, impromptu special guest what can you do?NEX PlaygroundI'm not sure how to feel about this topic. This strange new "Console" isn't exactly new. Apparently it's been around for about 2 years now and I cant tell if its a gimmick or brilliant. There's no arguing that the console that used to be the lowest cost to entry and the most kid friendly, Nintendo's Switch, has gotten a bit too costly. Enter Nex Playground that seems to potentially be aiming to fill that gap?Legacy: Steel & Sorcery UpdateLegacy has launched its first "Season" and added wizards to the game. Something that seems like it should have been there from the start. They did do a free weekend this weekend and the game is 20% off till the 22nd so if you're interested in a Fantasy 3rd person Extraction game from veterans of WoW consider picking this one up. I spent about an hour in the game on their free weekend and will be talking about it next weekend.Prologue: Go WaybackMike shares his thoughts with us about his experience during this "game's(?)" play test. Lets see what he thinks.QUICK FIREFarm Sim 25 Broken as fuckWorld of Tanks MonetizationBlades of Fire Demo (Only on Epic for PC players) on PS and XboxKarma The Dark World UpdateMultiverse Designer coming to SteamSilent Hill 2 vinylSix One Indie Show CaseStygian: Outer Gods Roadmap updateLet us know your thoughts on the latest news Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Good Morning CoinDroppers!Today we've got some indie horror games that ARENT! about children and toys as well as a game that seems to be blending all the best parts of Skyrim and Minecraft! Before we get started, We recently did a our stream with the devs behind EXFIL and honestly it was a blast. You can find that VOD here. We wont be doing a second community stream this month so our next will be the last Friday in June at 8pm Pacific.Also, If you like our content please leave us a review where ever you listen to us, follow us of Facebook and Subscribe on YouTube. It really helps us out with finding new listeners.She's LeavingA new indie horror game where you play as a blood splatter forensics expert in the UK to solve the disappearance of multiple people. Set in first person view and armed with only a tazer this game gives off some grounded Resident Evil 1 vibes with the Resident Evil 7 & 8 view point. Seriously this game looks amazing and we cant wait to hear more from Blue Hat about it.I Am RipperOur second indie horror game also set in the UK. You play as a detective in a narrative choice based game in the veins of Until Dawn, Heavy Rain, or Project Indigo. Set in the 1980s during a particularly brutal economic downturn you have to solve this investigation by tracking down clues that will hopefully lead you to find this elusive serial killer. Much like She's Leaving, I personally cannot wait to hear more and get my hands on this incredibly rich looking game from the amazing devs at White Paper Games.EverwindAt first glance no one would blame you for saying "This is just Minecraft with mods" but trust me the more you dig into Everwind the more it shows how diverse and unique it is. It takes the simple Minecraft formula and expands it by a factor of 10,000x. Their Kickstarter is live now and you can support them here if you choose.QUICK FIREEpic games is relaunching Fortnite on apple app store.God Save Birmingham is going to PAX East.Nintendo's New Terms of Service.Prologue: Go Wayback Closed Beta.Afterconflict Cold War Sim FPS from MicroProse.Neverwinter "Red Harvest" update.Switch 2 confirmed 12gb ram.Let us know your thoughts on the latest news Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Good Morning Coindroppers!Today Chis joins me on the podcast. Mike had an over night trip he had to run for work so he was unavailable. Some quick things before we jump in here, The second winner of the giveaway reached out just before Friday and claimed his game so the 2nd anniversary giveaway is concluded. Our live stream with the devs of Exfil will be this Friday May 9th at 8pm Pacific so make sure you tune in for that! And don't forget to tell your friends and family about us. The more listeners and Patreon supporters we get the more giveaways we can do!Age of BhaaratThe first ever Triple A game made in India about India has been announced and honestly it looks great. An action adventure game set in the folklore and myths of India that is co-op? Sign me up. We're pretty excited for this project because a very lore rich part of the world that has been completely untapped in the gaming world is finally getting some representation and we here at CoinDrop can't wait to explore India's folklore.GUARDS!Guards! isn't a new game, in fact it's been out for a about 14 months but when Chris posted about this one we knew we needed to talk about it. A game with physics based combat and challenging levels with fourplay co-op sounds like a great time. From the looks of it the game can get quiet hilarious at times too. This game quickly moved to the top of my "Must play (with friends)" list.Ragnarok XIf you're like Chris and I, you probably have very fond memories of the old MMORPG from Korea, Ragnarok Online. We'll they made a second game that didn't do to well and are now launching a new game. My only concern is that it's a crossplay mobile PC game. However, Game of Thrones Kingsroad was fun as hell on PC so here's hoping the new Ragnarok is too.QUICKFIREElite Dangerous UpdateInfect CamExtended Marathon Alpha to May 6thGTA VI Pushed to 26 May 26EA Lays off 100 devs that worked on Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi after canceling 2 projects at RespawnStar wars Eclipse Character Concept Art Leaks and pulled down505 Giving away a free copy of Blades of Fire to anyone celebrating their "Steel" Anniversary (married on 22nd May 2014)Expedition 33's Music made by "A guy who posted his music on Soundcloud"Let us know your thoughts on the latest news Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Good Morning Coindroppers!Lets get this out of the way right now. The winner of our giveaway never responded to our messages so we spun again last Friday. This winner ALSO hasn't replied yet and he has till Friday to do so. If he doesn't respond by Friday then we'll spin again! Hopefully we can give this game away before episode 100....Tainted Grail: The Fall of AvalonLike Openworld RPGs like Skyrim and Oblivion? Well do we have a game for you! Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon has been in early access for just about 2 years now and next month they drop their 1.0 update and "officially" release the game. Personally, I'm more interested in this than the jank of Oblivion Remastered.Ghost of YoteiIf you somehow missed the announcement of the sequel to the epic open world samurai/ninja game Ghost of Tsushima then boy do I have something to clue you in on. Ghost of Yotei is shaping up to an amazing game and we get our first glimpse at gameplay. Though to be honest it looks so good it's hard to tell what's gameplay and what's cutscene. If you're thinking about getting a PS5 and THIS doesn't sell you I don't know what will.The Blank SlateOk hear me out, no, this isn't a prank. The Slate Truck is a new EV set to hit the market in Q4 2026. They aim to fill the gap in the market that is small affordable single cab trucks and literally everything about this has me interested. Not only are they aiming for a price tag of under $20,000 after the federal tax credit, but they're making ONE model and a metric fuck ton of accessories to buy and install yourself. The best part is it's all be purposely engineered to be as easy and customizable as possible. Seriously the whole goal is DIY personalization like building a PC and I'm juiced for the idea. I'm highly considering buying one.QUICKFIREDune Awakening Large-Scale Beta May 9th to the 12thClair Obscur: Expedition 33 sells 500,000 copies almost instantlyCrimson Desert will be playable at PAX East May 8th to 11thLet us know your thoughts on the latest news Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Good Morning CoinDroppersToday we've got some great games to talk about and we're very excited to discuss them! but first! Just a reminder that on the 25th at 8pm pst we're gonna be live streaming Exfil with the devs for our community event this month. Now lets get to the content!Cronos: New DawnBloober Team just dropped footage of their upcoming third person shooter horror game and it looks as terrifying as we hoped! Love Dead Space? Love Resident Evil? Love 80 Retro-Future Tech? You'll probably not want to skip this one!Elder Scrolls 3 Oblivion REMAKE!Not sure why everyone keeps calling this (as of date of posting this, now confirmed) upcoming REMAKE a remaster. It's very clearly more than a texture update and a frame rate bump if the leaks are to be suggested. Hopefully Bethesda doesn't call it a remaster.Star Wars Zero CompanyAnother previously leaked game got a confirmation from EA and a short trailer. It appears to be set in the age of Clone Wars with a very strange collection of team members to include a Jedi(?) and a Mandalorian (possibly from death watch). Not much is known at this time but I'm pretty interestedQICK FIRE NEWSFuncom Delays Dune Awakening in the wake of beta feedbackDays Gone UpdateBeneath, a new Lovecraftian FPS survival Horror GameRunescape: Dragonwilds surpise drop early accessSwitch 2 Remains $450 despite tariffs but accessories will see a price hike, Preorders April 24thLet us know your thoughts on the latest news Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!
