The next Switch has been a topic of discussion for years now. But with recent rumors that the Switch 2 was privately demonstrated to a few trusted developers, the time seems right to start speculating what the new console should certainly feature. Join Alex, Devon and David as they unravel the world’s largest gaming event.
Of course, we also have to talk about the PlayStation State of Play, the Nintendo Direct and the major games coming to iPhone. And for the first time, we're introducing a brand new section: Devon's Video Game History and Preservation Crorner! There's more than enough to talk about, so come join us!

There is no shortage of announcements from the last Gamescom. But with so little time and so many ways to fill it in, we undertook the noble task of discussing our favorites - so you know what to look out for. All the while, we somehow keep coming back to Starfield, I wonder why that could be. Join Alex, Devon and David as they unravel the world's largest gaming event.
Of course, that's not all we do. We also talk about the PlayStation Plus price hike, the end of Volition, and the horror that is the Metal Gear Solid Switch port. Tune in!

Video game crossovers come as small as a cameo and as big as having the entire main cast of a gaming company brawl with one another. Alex, Devon, David, and Michael let their imagination run wild. In this episode, our dream crossovers quickly escalate into some wild concepts.
But that's not all. We share updates on our gaming backlogs, chat about the future of AI-art and dive into a beautiful hand-painted game. Come join us!

[50:13] – Main Topic: Our Dream Crossovers
We're well over the half-year mark of 2023, so the looming shadow of end-of-year award shows is proving too difficult to ignore for Alex and Devon. Which games are shoe-ins for the Game Awards, and which ones still to come may form formidable challengers?
Of course, there are also plenty of current events to talk about. From the ongoing actor's and writer's strike to the rumors that Ubisoft may delete inactive accounts. Come join us in this short but sweet episode!

Who doesn't have a video game they've been planning on picking up or finishing, but neglected in their backlogs for just a bit too long? Alex, Devon, David, and Michael certainly have. In this episode, we talk about our backlog and throw ourselves at the mercy of our fellow podcasters to determine which game we'll have to finish before year's end.
But that's not all! We finally do a deep dive into the Microsoft-Activison Blizzard saga and its recent developments, after we lay out our plans to solve the disappearance of classic video games. We make travel guides for the empty planets of Starfield and look ahead at the community-led approach in Silent Hill: Ascension. Come join us!

[31:15] - Main Topic: Backlog Update
Some games aren't love at first sight, but they may be love at a second or even a third one! Taking a step back, David, Devon, and Michael talk about the games they weren't especially fond of when they first started them, and what changed. As it turns out, opinions can certainly shift!
As always, this wouldn't be a KeenGamer podcast without our traditional side discussions, segues, and rabbit holes. So we get into Microsoft's defeatist announcement about losing the console wars, our favorite Star Wars planets to explore, and of course, the recent Nintendo Direct! Come and join us!

[31:15] - Main Topic: Games that Grew on Us
You don't have to play an educational game to learn something from a video game. From teamwork and connections to integrity and morality, there's no shortage of important life lessons in the stories of games. Alex, Devon, and Michael share which video games have taught them valuable information, and how they did so.
But of course, this wouldn't be a KeenGamer podcast if there weren't loads more to discuss. Especially Summer Game Fest 2023 offers plenty of opportunities to deep dive into. Moreover, Netflix announced new sets of games for the summer, the Final Fantasy 16 demo is looking amazing and the use of AI is reaching new heights (or lows). So there's more than enough to chat about - come and join us!

What makes a game great? And perhaps just as important, what makes it frustrating or annoying? The inclusion or absence of a mechanic can make or break a game. Alex, David, and Devon share their takes on what games could really use more of, and which mechanics should we have left in the nineties or zeroes years ago.
Before that, we discuss a jampacked news schedule ranging from the Barbie Movie depleting the world's stock of Pink Roscoe paint to Sony's new and confusing Project Q. Alex shares his brilliant strategic insights on Marvel Snap as Devon lays out a very specific case when it comes to hating a particular game mechanic. All the while, we all get into a discussion on the semantics of dodging. Come join us!

What if you could have just about anything in a dream gaming announcements show? That's the question that Alex, David, and Devon feverishly debate in this episode of the KeenGamer podcast. From industry-shaking acquisitions to people who should try their hands at making a game, to long-awaited sequels, remakes, and the sheer charisma of particular personalities. The ultimate question is, which team are you on? Let us know in the comments!
But before that, there are loads to discuss before we let our imaginations run wild. David juggles between rambling about Tears of the Kingdom and V Rising, Devon breaks down the many problems of Redfall, while Alex dives into the new Mortal Kombat and Dead By Daylightnews. But there's also Gamefreak talk, Summer Game Fest, and none of us trusting current-day Square Enix with as little as picking up a piece of gum. Come join us!

Movies based on video games have been in a bit of a golden age over the last decade. The successes of the Sonic movies, Detective Pikachu, and especially the Super Mario Bros. Movie show that the world of gaming is ready for the big screen. But what about the other way around? Which shows, books, and other non-gaming franchises are ready to make their debut in gaming? In this episode, Alex and Devon discuss which franchises should take their chances, and what such a video game should look like.
Before getting into that, however, there's plenty of current news to discuss. Devon breaks down the recent news about Microsoft's attempted buy-out of Activision-Blizzard, while Alex shares his careful optimism towards Armored Core 6. But there's also talk about Quidditch and the strange discrepancy between the critical and popular reception of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Tune in to the episode and join the discussion!

No video game is complete without music. What we hear plays a huge part of the vibe a video game ultimately conveys - whether it's a feeling of fun, fright, or that one feeling where you believe you're a one-person army who's ready to face off against any Lovecraftian monstrosity the game hurls at you while you're trying to save the world. So Alex and David chat about their favorite soundtracks, from the frantic and upbeat tunes of Cuphead to the ominous, ever-unnerving melodies of Silent Hill.
But before that, there's a lot more to discuss. David talks about the Super Mario Bros. Movie and why the critical reception is so off compared to the public reviews and the movies revenue, while Alex dives deep into the upcoming Five Nights At Freddy's film. But there's also Pokémon, Minecraft, Zelda and Final Fantasy XVI. Come and listen!

Some video games do need to progress beyond the 1990s and early 2000s. Whether it's to relive the franchise, enhance crazy mechanics or simply to hear the music in HD (yes, really), there are thousands of reasons to remake particular games. So Alex and David dive into their personal favorite, raging from the adrenaline rush of F-Zero to the menacing experience of Haunting Ground.Before getting to the main topic, we of course first chat about what has been keeping us up both during the day - and the night. Alex sneaks in a fourth remake he is excited for, while David quickly grew obsessed over SEGA's surprising take on the Sonic genre: The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog. We talk Zelda, UNO, and diverge off-topic a healthy amount of times. Come join us!Timestamps:[00:00] Intro[02:30] What We're Playing [14:30] What We're Looking Forward to: System Shock remake and The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog[23:27] News: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gameplay, Resident Evil 4 trolling and once again, no E3[43:50] Main Topic: Games That Deserve RemakesSubscribe to KeenGamer on your favorite podcast listening service and stay tuned for a brand-new episode every two weeks.
What do video games really hide from us? How many layers can be peeled back, before we arrive at the truth? In this episode of the KeenGamer podcast, Alex and David dive into their favorite, most brain-teasing video game conspiracies. What's going in in Stardew Valley's Pelican Town? Could Hideo Kojima secretly be a time traveler? That and other recent news you'll hear in this episode!
It's always fun to speculate about the lore behind video games. It's for that exact reason that tons of channels and websites are dedicated to finding the truth behind video game universes. Alex and David share some of their favorite theories, ranging from the strange remnants of the 1994 MMO game Worlds.com to questioning the very fabric of the world we live in.
Of course, before we get into that, we chat about the games that we've been playing and some upcoming news. Alex documents what Zack Snyder's cryptic tweet could mean, while David gets hyped for the upcoming V Rising update this May. From the nature of the horror genre to the visual details of Amsterdam Drift in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, there is once again more than enough to talk about. Come listen to us!

Last week's Pokémon Presents provides the perfect jump-off point for an in-depth discussion on everything Pokémon. Alex and David chat about their hopes and dreams for the future of Pokémon. From the real and ironic potential of Pokémon Sleep to the over 200 new Pokémon that Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's DLCs will be adding. And from there, it's only a small segue into a passionate discussion about our favorite Pokémon.
Before we lay out our arguments on why our favorite Pokémon should reign supreme, David explains his excitement for Minecraft's 1.20 update, and Alex offers a thorough analysis of Elden Ring's single-picture DLC announcement, all the while they argue about who can do the segue into the next topic.
Happy Halloween, and welcome to KeenGamer's discussion on the best horror movie characters out there! All the panel's favorite heroes and villains are listed, from Hellraiser to The Shining, along with some honorable mentions.
Before the main topic, Mark dives into his thoughts on Gotham Knights and whether it's more of a Marvel's Avengers or Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy quality. Also in the first segment, Alex talks about his time with Overwatch 2 now that we're over a month after its free-to-play launch, and goes over all the horror content available in Dead by Deadlight.
After that, and sticking with the horror theme, Konami's huge reveal of multiple Silent Hill games also gets a breakdown by the duo - from Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 remake, to the mysterious Silent Hill: Townfall.

Mark and Jessica rank all of Mike Flanagan's Netflix shows, and offer their thoughts on favourite stories, characters, and episodes, along with what didn't work for them in Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong's Netflix adaptation of Christopher Pike's books.
Before heading off to the library with their mugs, the pair chat about the games they've been playing lately, including the gruesome Scorn and wholesome Bear and Breakfast, along with an unintentional favourite game swap of God of War and Alan Wake.

May the force be with the KeenGamer podcast panel when they get into Star Wars discourse in this special State of Star Wars episode.
Mark, Noah, and Eoin (with special guest star baby Grogu) go over the quality of the recent content, including the live-action and animated Disney Plus shows, and of course, the most recent movie trilogy. Before discussing a galaxy far, far away, the trio talks Pokemon, Deathloop, Stardew Valley, and break down all the CD Projekt Red news, and react to the Mario movie trailer and that Chris Pratt voice...

In a very special main topic, Mark, Jessica, and Noah go over every 10/10 ever rewarded at KeenGamer, and discuss the site's (and their own personal) review process. What is it exactly about a game that gets it a 10/10?
Many genres have got a 10/10 at the site, including a lot of indie titles, but many more have got a 9.5 or above, so the crew shouts out some notable ones, but you can check out the full list and links to all the reviews.
Before diving into the main topic, the trio discusses Deathloop and Tak again, unpack the huge, if unsurprising, news that Stadia is shutting down in 2023, and react to that big HBO TLOU trailer.

Leaks! With so many recent leaks, scoops, reports, and hacks in the video game industry, Mark, Jessica, and Noah break down everything surrounding them.
They recap and update on the ongoing GTA 6 hack responsible for releasing over 90 videos of unfinished gameplay, and the graphics fiasco that resulted in other game devs posting early build footage in solidarity with Rockstar. Dan Allen's mistake outing as a leaker is also covered, as are examples of GOOD leaks in video games, and comparisons to movie leaks, particularly Marvel projects.
