Defining Duke, Episode 223 | And Xbox's BIG Summer Showcase Game Is...
Added 2025-04-10 16:00:15 +0000 UTCFollowing the delay of Fable, it was a coin toss on who would get the nod to follow up Xbox's 2025 summer showcase with a Developer Direct of their own. Now, we have the answer. No, it's not Gears Of War: E-Day and no it's not Halo. It's The Outer Worlds 2! Combined with this reveal, IGN posted over 10 minutes of Outer Worlds 2 gameplay! While it pops the bubble ahead of its full inflation, the Dukes were excited to lay eyes on the game following its December reveal. What has changed? What has improved? Also, what else will we see at this summer's showcase? We're full of guesses, so let's get to speculating!

Dukes, love you guys but Dustin started putting the games they are discussing in the What We're Playing section. I'd really appreciate it on this show too! Sometimes I miss 3 seconds and have to jump around a lot to find what game you are referring to. You don't have to put the exact time though that would be nice, just a list of the games. Thanks!

2025-04-13 15:00:54 +0000 UTCGood listen as always boys! I think some of that Nintendo smoke was coming because the whole industry has seemingly shrugged their shoulders at the obvious ripping of the consumer that is going on. You guys came off pretty sanguine about it. I've been a little irritated myself at the overall Nintendo glazing going on from the media. But it did make sense you guys were reacting to it live. #ShowcaseDD

2025-04-12 10:17:17 +0000 UTCNot sure if other people feel the same, but for me, AI is a slippery slope. I get using it as a tool, like the analogy used about hammers and drills. The issue is that humans don’t know when to stop. They will always chase convenience at any cost. It may be a tool now and in the near future, but how long until corporations push it to the max? How long until the ultra rich push it too far, and start cutting payroll as much as possible? Literally every single time advancements in tech happen, humans abuse it. It’ll be no different here. Fuck AI. Shut it down completely or else they will definitely take it too far. Don’t give them an inch.
