Episode 130 - Fixing PlayStation & Marvel’s Wolverine - Pixel Parents Podcast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
PlayStation is still the default place to play for millions of people. But after an uneven PS5 generation, rising prices and a failed live service push, Sony appears to have lost some of its identity. We look at what PlayStation still gets right, where its confidence has gone and the changes we would make before PS6. That includes more creative games, better communication, new franchises and a return for the studios and ideas that once made PlayStation feel different. Liam also shares his early
Episode 129 - Gaming Opinions We Changed Mind About - Pixel Parents Podcast (opens the original)

We all have gaming opinions that aged badly. Scott has six of them. In this solo episode, he admits he was wrong about Fortnite, game difficulty, digital ownership, Nintendo, Early Access and video game remakes.

We also endure Pla

Read excerpt
Has GTA VI finally shown us what this console generation can really do? GTA VI’s extended look may be the best demonstration yet of what the current console generation can achieve. Liam reacts to Rockstar’s 27-minute presentation, including the return to more methodical Red Dead Redemption 2-style gameplay, the extraordinary lighting and world detail, Jason and Lucia’s relationship, changes to the wanted system, new activities and the soundtrack. The presentation left him astonished, but it rais
Episode 126 - Where Gaming Fits When Life Gets Hard - Pixel Parents Podcast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Where does gaming fit when life gets hard? After unexpectedly being made redundant, Liam found himself questioning whether he deserved to spend time playing games. It took a return to Spider-Man 2 to remind him that enjoying something during a difficult period does not mean ignoring what has happened. Scott also reflects on returning to Death Stranding, and why its message of simply putting one foot in front of the other meant so much to him. We discuss gaming as comfort, escapism and a small so
