Triangle Squared: A Playstation Podcast

Building off the backs of their creators previous work, Striking Distance Studios set out to craft a new survival horror title from the mind behind Dead Space, in the form of The Callisto Protocol. Met with excitement at it's unveiling, and with a sense of hype that carried through to launch, it soon found itself to be quite the divisive game amongst fans and critics alike. We gather in this episode of Spoiler Chats to hopefully dig deeper and discuss what worked, what didn't work, and what we hope for in a sequel from presentation, gameplay, and story for the studios first game, that's scratching the surface of potential.

The long awaited release of The Callisto Protocol has come and with it we share our thoughts on the game in the wake of the game being divisive amongst the internet and ask: Why is The Callisto Protocol so divisive? We also talk Fortnite bringing Unreal Engine 5.1 to the game with Chapter 4 to finally show off tech like Nanite and Lumen in a fully playable console game and how that impacts our excitement for future titles using the engine like Kingdom Hearts 4, Avowed, etc.., Monster Hunter: Rise finally making it's way to PlayStation and Xbox early next year, Steam prematurely shooting out Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's release date on it's product page, question PlayStation's long term plan for the PS Plus tiers and how they might improve the Premium tier's value, Microsoft joining the ranks of companies charging $70 for their AAA games, and more! We wrap the show up with predictions on award winners at this year's The Game Awards, which are said to be shorter than usual, so join us on this week's Triangle Squa

Sony announced that God of War: Ragnarok broke the companies record for fastest selling first-party title, while Pokemon manages to double that, Microsoft offer Sony 10 years of Call of Duty on PlayStation and prepare concessions to help push the Activision deal through, and The Witcher remake goes open-world while being likely being years off from release.

After years of people bemoaning "shovelware" and "just for platinum" games on PS Store, it seems PlayStation might be clamping down on "spam" games if a report is to be believed. We share our thoughts on this, God of War: Ragnarok's director asking for Santa Monica to helm a Castlevania game, Sony & Honda teaming up to put PS5 into electric vehicles so everyone can tap into their inner Ja Rule circa The Fast and The Furious, Sony increasing investment into its China Hero Project initiative and much more! Joined by Joe (@MrBadBit) from The Trophy Room: A PlayStation Podcast filling in for Chris, you can expect parenting tips on approaching life from a FromSoftware point of view, why "banger" bothers Joe so much, and how we approach trophies to accompany the news!

The Game Awards have revealed the nominees for the seemingly coveted Game of the Year award as well as several other categories, which leads us to look back at this year, how releases have gone, and discuss what we personally make of determining what makes something deserving of a "Game of the Year" moniker. We share our thoughts on that, Razer bringing offset sticks to the PS5 in a surprisingly priced pro controller, The Witcher 3 finally getting it's next-gen version in December, and Phil Spencer taking to a podcast to discuss their intention to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation moving forward much like they've done for Minecraft, no strings attached.

EA announced a 3 game deal with Marvel that brings back memories of their sometimes controversial deal with Star Wars, but this time without the exclusivity clause. Will these games sell as well as the Star Wars games while hopefully garnering more universal praise? We talk our thoughts on that, while looking at PlayStation's job listing for a new San Diego Studio to co-develop a new game in a "beloved franchise" along Naughty Dog and the inevitable conclusion that more Uncharted is likely on the way, talk Sony London Studio branching out from it's recent VR adventures to make a new fantasy live service game for PS5, CD Projekt Red revealing that Canis Majoris was a remake of The Witcher for next-gen consoles, Striking Distance sticking to their severed limbs and cancelling the Japanese release of The Callisto Protocol as opposed to censoring it for their ratings board, and understand Chris' aversion to Platforming Games while asking what exactly we consider platforming to be.

This week finally saw Konami return to Silent Hill, unveiling not only 1 but multiple new games including a remake of fan favorite Silent Hill 2, timed exclusively to PS5, as well as a new movie from the director of the original movie. Resident Evil followed suit with Capcom showing off the Winter's Expansion for Resdient Evil 8, and a look at much more gameplay from Resident Evil 4's big remake set to hit next year. We share our thoughts on all this, as well as looking at Bethesda coming back to PlayStation for a Fallout 4 next-gen launch, Final Fantasy 16's new "Ambition" trailer showcasing the nations of this new world and the people within them, an unlikely source claiming that Insomniac's Wolverine game is coming in 2023, and check in on what you in the community think about PlayStation reportedly skipping out on a PlayStation Showcase in order to aid their perception throughout the CMA investigation.

PlayStation makes like Blink-182 and announces the release date and price for its Dualsense Edge controller, while Microsoft claims that Sony said "no" to Game Pass on PlayStation. We look at these topics while delving into PlayStation potentially sitting on a PS Showcase announcement while the CMA investigation for Activision marches forward, Gotham Knights staring controversy in the eye with the announcement that the title will not feature a performance mode for 60fps on consoles despite dropping PS4/Xbox One as supported platforms, porn stars becoming virtual DJs for Cyberpunk, and Konami finally announcing an event to reveal the many rumored and reported Silent Hill titles.

The internet got in an uproar over a leak claiming that Horizon: Zero Dawn is getting a PS5 remaster, people confuse remaster and remake, and CD Projekt Red go full Marvel by announcing their next 7 titles in the Witcher and Cyberpunk series as well as a new IP that's some time out. We share our thoughts on these, God of War: Ragnarok going gold with the help of Bluepoint Games, a peek behind the curtain at how Sony spends for PS Plus games, The Outer Worlds getting at least one more release on PlayStation consoles, Overwatch 2 controversy, and PS Stars launching with a bit of dull glow than a bright beam.

The Last of Us Day, previously known as Outbreak Day, brought with it a full trailer for the HBO adaptation of the game, finally allowing us a good look at multiple characters outside of Joel and Ellie, such as Nick Offerman's Bill. With the show choosing to follow the same story of the game, we share our thoughts on the positives and negatives of adaptations of games following their source material versus creating new journey's in worlds in which we are already familiar and how those two might come together in The Last of Us' TV show. On top of that, we talk the Rockstar hacker getting his just desserts, Overwatch 2's decision to lock aspects of the game behind a "play" wall and whether that will lead to a pay for convenience option, check in on the Community's thoughts on leaks and how it impacts them, and Chris brings the idea of a Metacritic Draft for 2023 releases to the table, forcing us to narrow down 13 games each in an effort to not be the one paying one lucky Patron a crisp $100 once it's all done.

The gaming world was shaken by a pretty huge leak of GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto VI to be proper), revealing things such as a look at the protagonists, what the world might look like, and gameplay mechanics that Rockstar have evolved since the last entry, but apparently it's all from roughly 3 years ago. We take a look at the impact of leaks, why people are quick to criticize mid-development footage from leaks, EA taking bat at another licensed game as they partner with Marvel for an Iron Man 3rd person action game, our thoughts on PSVR2's lack of backwards compatibility with PSVR titles, and more while checking the community's pulse on how they feel about the upcoming God of War: Ragnarok and their own expectations for the title.

We share our thoughts on these alongside Sony flirting with developing Days Gone and Gravity Rush films or series, Embracer buying any and everything they can get their hands on (including all of Middle-Earth), PSVR2 launching in early 2023, the crazy lawsuit being leveled at Sony right now, and more!

Marvel's Spider-Man has finally hit PC and with it comes the obligatory searching through files that hint at PlayStation bringing the PSN to PC, meaning you could be earning trophies on PC soon, among other implications that brings, and we get a hint from Disney that their new games showcase will have us seeing something from Amy Hennig's new game which appears to be a Marvel "Ensemble" game that could mean we get to play as The Fantastic 4, The Defenders, or any of the countless other Marvel teams! We share our thoughts on these, why people seem to not play the Call of Duty campaigns, speculate over potential future clashes of iconic characters in Multiversus as it continues to grow, hear of a 2012 Iron Man game from Avalanche that never saw the light, question where the line of "quality" or what makes a game exactly is in relation to PlayStation's Store being berated for cheap, trophy games, and go completely off rails with topics such as rap verses in pop songs, favorite food specials, and Chris' hope of s

As we all know, Square Enix recently announced it's plans to sell Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal and much of it's western development studios and IP to Embracer Group. Many assumed that this was due to a mix of Marvel's Avengers underperforming combined with an assumed effort to trim the fat to better prime the remainder of the company to an interested party, with Sony at the forefront of that assumed list. Well, recently it was reported that Square Enix feared that these studios were "cannibalizing" sales from their rest of their studios and that by selling them they could be more efficient with their capital. Could that still mean that Square is looking to sell, or does their renewed interest in doubling down on their very successful Japanese games and developers show that they may be looking to remain independant? We share our thoughts on this, Multiversus' first season pass, Modern Warfare II's beta dates and early access, Marvel's Midnight Sun delaying in what is likely response to God of War: Ragnarok

Brett is back with Chris to discuss recent reports from Bloomberg on the future of Grand Theft Auto 6 that have the internet asking the question: Is GTA Going Soft?
