The Xbox Games Showcase 2025 is soon upon us and you know the tradition! It's Defining Duke. It's Xbox Two. It's showcase season! Compared to prior years, the pressure on Xbox feels a little lessened. The games are in full swing and mostly delivering, Project Latitude is far less controversial, and many are just hoping the company maintains the status quo for once. So, for the games: Is it time for Elder Scrolls VI? Does Halo make its return to the big stage? Does Final Fantasy VII Remake finally hit the platform? What of Persona 4 Remake? Can Playground Games announce Forza Horizon 6 this year? With speculitis flowing through our veins, we heavily debate the "yays" and "nays" of Xbox's next summer showcase for five whole hours. Enjoy!Timestamps:0:00:00 - Intro

Fenixrisingxl21

Holy shit, over five hours?! Let’s fucking go!

BamAHamYum

5 hour Dukes on my day off?? LFG

Blurry

5 hour prediction show!? It's gamer Christmas baby! 😍

Love hearing Rand back on! The XB2 collabs were the reason I became a fan of Defining Duke, and LSM in general 👍

Anthony Palerino

I wonder if people aren’t as hype for showcase season because the games have been so good recently! I’m still catching up with what we have now.

Josef Barker

5 hours? This'll take me a whole week to listen too.

BigDumbStupidIdiot

The best part about the Xbox showcase is it's now for every console; Switch 2, PS5 and Game Pass. Can't wait for some bangers to be shown

I’ve played Elden Ring for over 400 hours, I’m not buying Risk of Elden Rogue Fortnitereign

Michael

Silksong or else. I need it and I need it now.

Imagine thinking Attack of the Clones is better than The Phantom Menace.

Cameron Sturre

White whale was the term you were looking for, Matty.

Walk Forward Cutscene

For using the phrase “80s cringe,” I’m sentencing Cog to 100 hours of the Saints Row Reboot, Forspoken, and DA:Veilguard

Caleb Peacock

Good episode. But the closer to the show is viva pinata obviously(one can hope)

Code switching? Matty is from NYC he’s not putting on a voice lol

In my dreams Xbox reveals an Alpha Protocol sequel!

#DDIgottapee funnily enough this podcast ended right as I pulled into a service station while traveling for work, because I had to pee! From a sacred symbols stan I have to say this was a great ep guys - it’s strange to listen to a show on LSM where every write in isn’t joking about being on the verge of suicide 🤣. Not sure on the predictions but always love to hear the different opinions. First time listing to Rand as well, really enjoyed you having him on and I’ve really enjoyed this rotating 3rd chair you’ve had going on recently.

I’m 1 of those people. 😅 The Phantom Menace is my least favorite SW movie.

NeO JD

Matty, I listened to this in 1 sitting but I did it at 1.5 speed 😅 #DDIGottaPee

Best predicted podcast I’ve listened to. Love the in depth breakdown from everyone.

Gooch Gobbler

Project Wu-Tang will 100% be there, they just announced their "final" world tour

Diddy’s Lube Guy

Pretty weak to have no weekly show posted with seemingly no communication on anyone’s Twitter, including LSM’s.

WHAT'S GOOD DUKESTERS! Quick health is wealth story that was directly the result of listening to the show that I figure you boys would appreciate. My man Cog mentioned in the last episode that his building had a carbon monoxide false alarm and while I chuckled about it during the episode, it got my thinking... You see, I'm in my thirties with a wife and 2 kids under the age of 4, with a third on the way. My wife and I just moved to a home that was previously owned by her grandfather. It's a beautiful bungalow with good bones, but it was built in the early 90's. It got me thinking about the very real possibility of carbon monoxide being a real danger, especially given it's age. Luckily I remembered that a number of years back I bought a couple of CO detectors and neglected to install them because our previous apartment was new enough and actually had hybrid smoke/CO detectors already. I work in a FIFO (Fly in, fly out) job and am returning home on Thursday, but suffice it to say that I'll be installing them ASAP once I return. So thanks Cog for sharing your story. Much love boys, and make sure to keep your detectors/fire extinguishers up to date and close by in case of emergency. PS, RIP to Matty for Lies of P DLC shadow dropping at SGF given everything else you're likely playing at the moment 😆

It’s gonna drop today or tomorrow with the Xbox showcase

Also yall are tripping on the CE remake. If they make it terrible and ugly like the MCC version I’ll agree, but an actual good looking combat evolved remake/remaster that preserves the original mood of the classic graphics instead of hamfisting them with the “new” one would be great
