Hey hey, stoked for tonight's show. We'll be chatting about our time with Resident Evil Requiem, as well as its impressive first week sales numbers. We'll also touch on Sony's plan to move away from PC ports, early impressions of Pokémon Pokopia, and everything else we've been playing.

Fire off your questions/comments/concerns on any of the above, whatever else you have on your mind, or tell us which Resi protag is your favorite. And the correct answer to that previous question is Barry -- it's always Barry.

Cheers!~Marty

Far Too Many Frogs

Someone who does not like the gameplay of Resident Evil and is extremely burnt out on Pokemon: Genuinely, great for y'all, more for the rest of you.

What is Nick's opinion on what happened with Highguard?

What's your take on Pokopia being distributed on game key cards? Nintendo games specifically I always try to buy physically rather than digitally and I'm personally very disappointed that the card won't actually have the game on it.

I keep seeing news stories about Requiem's Metacritic score surpassing Clair Obscure and Cory in the House ds. Is there a story behind this Cory in the House game? I assume it's a meme of some kind but I'm old and sometimes internet tomfoolery escapes me.

Just want to say how much I appreciate the Next Fest demo recommendations -- it's one of my favorite things that Second Wind does, putting more indies onto my radar. Hope everything is going smoothly as y'all prepare for your own showcase!

I'm loving my time with RE9 so far. I'm playing with a guide as Grace and I feel no shame. Hoping later on I get more Leon action. Leon is the GOAT protag. Always has been for me. Quips and all.

Andy Curtis

Did Capcom accidentally make Devil May Cry again with Leon's campaign?

ImmenseCookie

I can't wait for his impending content meltdown regarding it 😅

Blindman

Will Pokémon company learn from Pokopia? I doubt it.

I'm happy that Cyberpunk is coming to GamePass later this month - what titles would you like to see drop on soon? I know as professionals you can just play everything, but is there a game from 2025 that you think deserves an extra bit of exposure that GamePass intrinsically provides?

LaboratoryManiac

It's a meme, yes. A random Disney Channel videogame that the Internet latched onto.

LaboratoryManiac

I can only speak for myself, but I'm not bothered by it. My one-time install is complete and I just use the card the same way I use the rest of my physical games.

LaboratoryManiac

Pokopia is great, but Slay the Spire II also launched in Early Access today and now I'm torn... Which one do I play first?

Inverse Skies

Do we know the sales figures for the prior Sony PC ports? I was always under the impression they sold relatively ok. I presume if Sony is pulling them they must have a financial benefit to doing so as otherwise it makes little sense.

ArmchairGenril

They must think they have more to gain from increasing PlayStation sales (by having more exclusives), than they have to lose from lost game sales on PC. I'm not sure that even they can really be sure of that, though.

Fuzzy Freestyle

So Capcom has been using the RE Engine for almost a decade now. It seems like every Capcom game is made using it now. Do you think the engine is still going strong or do you think they might develop another one?
