Summary

Sony’s big push for live-service games hasn’t exactly been a resounding success, and the news that Haven, the studio behind the upcoming extraction-shooter Fairgame$, recently lost its founder Jade Raymond doesn’t exactly instill confidence. But, on the bright side, Helldivers 2: Heart of Democracy update takes the battle to Super Earth, giving the Starship Troopers-like a bit of an Earth Defense Force spin. Jada reviewed Blades of Fire, which apparently has a great smithing minigame, but underwhelms otherwise, and Max has been playing Revenge of the Savage Planet, and Nick’s been ripping and tearing through Doom: The Dark Ages. Finally, we chatted with Sea of Stars creative director Thierry Boulanger about the upcoming DLC, Throes of the Watchmaker. 00:00 - Intro 00:53 - Will Fairgame$ be the next Helldivers 2 or Hyenas? 16:48 - Helldivers 2 New Patch Is Pretty Cool 22:06 - Come hang out at IGN Live 2025! 25:57 - Blades of Fire Review Discussion 35:28 - Max has been playing Revenge of the Savage Planet 43:40 - Nick’s Been Ripping and Tearing Through Doom: The Dark Ages 47:00 - Sea of Stars Creative Director Thierry Boulanger 01:03:29 - Outro *** For thousands of years (or at least since the 90s) PlayStation has been pushing the boundaries of the video game medium.
