   Episode 60 - Digital Dreams, Offline Reality

   Recent PlayStation and Xbox outages reminded everyone how dependent modern gaming has become on online services. We discuss what that means for the future of digital ownership and whether the industry is moving in the right direction. Plus, we give our thoughts on Halo's performance issues, why they're worth talking about, and why the game is still one of the most fun experiences we've played recently. We all learned however the biggest treasure we found in this somewhat broken experience was the friendships strengthened along the way. • Drinks and Life • Latest News Announcements -PSN and Xbox Network Outages • What We've Been Playing -Split Fiction -Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced -Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined -Xenoblade Chronicles -Granblue Fantasy Relink: Endless Ragnarok -Halo: Campaign Evolved • Thanks for Listening!

   Big changes are happening this week. We share why Shapes of Gaming is moving to a bi-weekly release schedule and what listeners can expect going forward. We also discuss the continued wave of layoffs impacting the video game industry and what they mean for developers and players alike. Finally, we revisit PlayStation's reported transition toward an all-digital future in 2028 and what it could mean for everyone from a multi pronged approach.

   Episode 58 - The Beginning of the End

   PlayStation has announced plans that could signal the end of physical game discs by 2028, and we're breaking down what that means for players, collectors, and the future of the industry. We discuss the benefits and drawbacks of an all-digital future and why this is a bad direction for gaming as a whole. We also ask the big question: does the world even need a PlayStation 6, or can the PS5 generation continue to evolve through hardware revisions and cloud technology? Join us as we explore what the next generation of gaming could look like. One thing is certain: the future of PlayStation is changing.
