EGP 325 leans into the not-so-happy side of gaming news, with the crew discussing layoffs, studio closures, and the ongoing slowdown in the game industry—especially in the UK, where job losses and studio cuts are starting to pile up. On the hardware side, the conversation shifts to NVIDIA’s DLSS 5, AI-enhanced graphics, and whether it’s a miracle cure for ugly games like Starfield or just another layer of tech trying to fix bad engines. The guys also talk about rising console prices, the future cost of the PS6, and how more gamers are turning to older GPUs and budget PCs just to stay in the hobby. The episode wraps up with some deeper PC tinkering talk, including CPU core parking, performance tools, and squeezing every last drop of power out of modern chips—because apparently optimizing Windows is now a part-time job. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast.com Also look up our monthly podcast, Extreme Hollywood

EGP 324 leans heavily into hardware, AI, and the increasingly weird future of PC gaming. The crew digs into NVIDIA’s latest AI-driven tech, including DLSS developments, path tracing improvements, and the idea that GPUs are becoming AI processors first and gaming cards second. There’s also discussion around Switch 2 improving older Switch 1 games with new docked-mode boosts, which is actually a nice surprise for once. Console rumors return with PS6 vs. Xbox “Project Helix,” with Xbox potentially moving toward a hybrid PC-console machine—basically a high-end Steam Machine in disguise. Along the way, the guys debate whether AI image enhancement is genius or just a fancy filter, and talk about insanely expensive hardware. The episode wraps up with DOOM trivia, proving that at least some technology from the 1990s still works perfectly. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast.com www.youtube.com/@ExtremeGamingPodcast

EGP 323 kicks off diving into some quirky hardware and game talk. First up: a solar-powered laptop that sounds cool until you remember some gamers live nowhere near sunlight. From there, things get slightly depressing with the shutdown of the Until Dawn Remake studio, another reminder that the industry giveth and taketh away. Hardware talk heats up with debates over 240Hz vs. 1000Hz monitors (because apparently we all want to play games that look like potatoes at warp speed). On the console side, rumors around PS6 vs. Xbox Project Helix spark a big discussion about hybrid PC-console futures. The crew also reacts to showcase game trailers like Ready or Not, Atmosfar, Ritual Tides, and Hello Sunshine, ranging from “this looks interesting” to “we need actual gameplay, please.” As always: opinions, sarcasm, tangents and just plain fun. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast (Extreme Hollywood Podcast lives here too)

Episode 322 of the Extreme Gaming Podcast is packed with gaming goodness. The hosts kick things off with hardware chatter, including impressions of the flashy Corsair K70 Stream Deck keyboard, new gaming gear, and the ongoing saga of PC component prices—especially RAM getting hoarded for AI projects. They also dig into rumors around Valve’s upcoming Steam Machine, possible Windows 12 subscription-style modules, and a mysterious new Aluminium OS from Google. On the gaming side, things heat up with discussion of the struggling shooter Mind’s Eye, the uncertain future of Marathon, and the never-ending console vs. PC debate (with some PlayStation frustration thrown in for good measure). The episode wraps with game talk ranging from Metroid Prime 4 to The Division 2, plus plenty of the usual banter, sarcasm, and tech tangents along the way. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast

In Episode 321 of EGP, the crew dive headfirst into Resident Evil 9: Requiem, debating Grace’s… enthusiastic breathing habits, third-person vs. first-person terror, classic ink ribbons, and whether jump scares are scary or just cheap date tactics. They break down performance on high-end PC rigs powered by the mighty RTX 5090 and 9850X3D, tinkering with DLSS, frame gen, drivers, and even modding out film grain in games. The crew also test the waters with Marathon, Bungie’s new extraction shooter, weighing its Apex-like vibes against Tarkov-level stress. On the news side: hope for a Simpsons: Hit & Run revival, hype for Marvel’s Wolverine, whispers of Wolfenstein 3, and plenty of chatter about gaming preservation. Hardware upgrades round it out—Corsair keyboards, Razer mice, and premium headsets—because if you’re getting scared, you might as well do it in 8K polling style.

EGP 320 is a full-spectrum EGP episode, bouncing between early-access optimism, industry frustration, and classic hardware disappointment. Matt dives into pirate survival with Windrose, a gorgeous Sea of Thieves-meets-Valheim experiment where the biggest threat isn’t skeletons—it’s the host rage-quitting and nuking the server. HumanitZ follows, delivering brutal top-down zombie survival with almost no tutorial and a strong “good luck, idiot” energy. News gets heavier with Resident Evil 9 (Requiem) leaking early via physical copies, ongoing Ubisoft layoffs (but yes, the Splinter Cell remake still lives), and Bethesda confirming Elder Scrolls 6 is still a distant dream while Starfield 2 remains nonexistent. God of War chatter teases summer news, while hardware talk revisits DirectStorage, the revolutionary tech nobody seems to actually use. Equal parts laughs, rants, and much more! discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast

EGP 319 kicks off with tech gremlins, USB voodoo, and the crew blaming Gray’s PC for everything—as tradition demands. Once the dust settles, the episode dives into a packed mix of gaming news and hardware nerdery. There’s renewed debate around GTA 6, including physical vs digital launches, Horizon Hunters Gathering receiving a brutal bashing from loyal fans, Castlevania is back, No Man’s Sky somehow turns ten years old, and continues with yet another free update, while space game loyalties spark fresh Elite Dangerous vs Star Citizen banter. On the rumor front, a new God of War targeting 2027 gets fans cautiously excited, and Silent Hill: Townfall raises eyebrows with its first-person, Scotland-set psychological horror vibes. Hardware talk gets spicy with RTX 5090 scams, Thunderbolt eGPU performance disappointments, power-hungry GPUs, and why PC gamers spend more time tweaking settings than actually playing games. @discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast

This episode the crew debates rumors around GTA 6, including delayed physical editions, staggered PC releases, and whether Rockstar is once again triple-dipping its way to the moon. Things take a nostalgic turn with a fan-made Banjo-Kazooie PC port running at 4K, 120 FPS, and ultrawide, proving modders are still doing the work publishers won’t. Hardware talk with Micro Center’s shockingly good Ryzen X3D bundle deals, rampant DDR5 RAM shortages, and reports of RAM being stolen straight out of Costco display PCs. We dive into fake RTX 5090 listings, absurd resale prices, Rainbow 6 Siege, new Alienware, DDR4 prices rising faster than DDR5, and much more.

This episode is packed February preview mixed with classic EGP banter and a side of hardware soul-searching. The crew runs through upcoming releases like Resident Evil Requiem, Nioh 3, Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, High On Life 2, and Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, debating prices, difficulty, and whether fun should ever require suffering. Xbox’s Dev Direct also gets attention, with strong impressions of Fable, curiosity around Beast of Reincarnation, and cautious optimism for Forza Horizon 6, because apparently ray-tracing Tokyo needs its own power plant. On the hardware side, discussions drift into frame rates, 60 FPS acceptance, AMD X3D CPUs, and Trev officially ditching his PS5 Pro to fund a PC upgrade. The episode wraps with sobering talk on Ubisoft layoffs, industry churn, and why smaller studios may end up saving gaming after all. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast

This week blends hardware frustration with uncomfortable industry realities. Alongside heated debates over AMD’s X3D woes, GPU pricing chaos, and DLSS 4.5 coping strategies, the crew dives into a wave of gaming news that feels anything but upbeat. Ubisoft layoffs spark concerns about studio stability, while sacked Rockstar developers reportedly walking away unpaid, raises eyebrows about how disposable talent has become. Intel’s upcoming Panther Lake CPUs get a cautious look, Sonic celebrates an improbable 35 years, and rumors swirl around a potential release window for Forza Horizon 6. There’s also optimism, with Enshrouded officially locking in a 1.0 launch this autumn, contrasted sharply by existential dread around VR as Meta shutters three VR studios—prompting the uncomfortable question: is this the beginning of the end for consumer VR? Equal parts news roundup, humor, venting, and reality checks. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast

EGP 315 turns into a CES therapy session as Gray, Trev, and Hans unpack why the Consumer Electronics Show felt anything but consumer-friendly. Between NVIDIA, AMD, and endless AI buzzwords, CES looked more like a corporate earnings call than a gamer showcase, with Jensen Huang’s shiny jacket getting almost as much attention as GPUs. The crew digs into missing Ryzen reveals, questionable charts, DLSS 4.5, frame generation madness, and why cloud gaming via GeForce Now keeps creeping closer to center stage. Things get delightfully weird with Razer’s Project Ava (aka the holographic waifu assistant nobody asked for but everyone wants), foldable phones, RAM shortages, and fears that PC building is becoming a museum hobby. The episode wraps with Rockstar Games, union disputes, and why the industry feels like it’s changing faster than gamers can keep up. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast

This Episode kicks off with New Year cheer, and diving headfirst into the looming future of gaming. The crew debates whether PC enthusiasts are becoming an endangered species as Microsoft, NVIDIA, Steam, and Game Pass push gaming toward the cloud. Physical games are fading, hardware prices are exploding (hello RTX 5090), and subscriptions, ads, and tiered performance plans threaten ownership as we know it. From GeForce Now hour caps to fears of “watch ads to play,” the panel wonders if we’re heading for a future of rented GPUs, retro backlogs, and Chromebooks pretending to be gaming rigs. Optimism is… cautiously buffering. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast
