Greetings one-and-all! Welcome back to Constellation. On this week's episode of Last Stand Media's conversational podcast, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by legendary games designer David Jaffe and Punching Up co-host Micah Watson. As usual, we have some random topics to throw your way. Jaffe had an online experience recently that gave him pause, and has him reflecting on the hatred fomenting in seemingly every corner of the internet. Meanwhile, Dagan wants us to present him with our bigges...

With Xbox's plans for 2028 laid before us, the Dukes dig into what this future looks like. Is this the original vision for the Xbox One coming to fruition? Will this be Xbox's final "console generation?" Can ISPs get out of the way to allow this type of gaming generation to thrive? There is no shortage of angles to tackle this from as Lord Digital and Mr Retro come together to see if this vision of Xbox's can serve both sides.

Please welcome Khayl Adam to the show. Khayl is an Australian games journalist who writes for an outlet you'll undoubtedly recognize if you listen to Sacred Symbols: Push Square. We love Push Square, and we're happy to have him on our program. He and I (Colin) sat down from across the world (that's still pretty remarkable, when you think about it) to chat about the current state of games journalism, where it succeeds and fails, what the next chapters might look like, and how some websites are...

We have PlayStation news to get to and through, of course -- and lots of it! -- but so many of you wrote into the show about the recent Xbox leak that we couldn't just ignore it. And really, nothing we learned from the treasure trove of documents one way or the other should come as much of a surprise, so we'll let a famous Coach Green quote do the talking instead. Has the games industry let Microsoft off the hook?! Plus: PS5 sales surge in Europe, The Division 3 is real, Final Fantasy VII Rem...

Slow week, huh? As the gaming industry grows, so too do its leaks. Much like Hollywood, it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep projects under wraps before someone spills the beans. Joining the ranks with Nvidia's GeForce Now, Xbox has suffered one of gaming's largest leaks ever. From an entire release schedule for Bethesda's upcoming games to a mid generation refresh and even their vision for 2028's next generation consoles, there are dozens of documents to sift through. Fallout 3 Remas...

We're about 13 years late on this one, but we promise it's for good reason. See, Alan Wake 2 -- Remedy's long-awaited sequel to its 2010 one-time Xbox-exclusive horror game -- finally launches in late October. And it's given us cause to want to get back to it, especially after it became more easily accessible with the 2021 launch of Alan Wake Remastered on PS4 and PS5. (Indeed, it was on PS+ Essential one month a while ago, so you may already 'own' it.) Thus, I (Colin) solicited the assistanc...

The Nintendo Direct makes clear that we are nearing the end of the Switch life cycle, but there's still a lot of meat on the calendar. It's a lot of remakes, rereleases and remasters like Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, Paper Mario A Thousand Year Door, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, all strong signals that their big teams are working on new projects. But Princess Peach Showtime! shows that Nintendo is still experimenting with new gameplay formats. Also we take a lot of questions and comments from the comm...

Welcome back to Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Defining Duke co-hosts MrMattyPlays and Lord Cognito. Colin needs a place to commiserate -- and he finds it here amongst sports fans -- as he comes to grips with his fandom for one of the NFL's most-cursed teams. Can he possibly recover? Meanwhile, in the realm of things far more serious, Cog chronicles a near-death experience he had, and solicits any similar stories from t...

If you're an older player of video games, you know that 2007 was an historically-insane year for the medium. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Super Mario Galaxy, BioShock, The Orange Box, God of War II, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and Mass Effect -- amongst others -- all launched within 9 months of each other. And then there was Halo 3, arguably the king of them all. Halo 3 is the Xbox brand's single best-selling game by a mile, and it's an emblem of Microsoft's most successful era both com...

Howdy everyone, Mama Micah here! Today I'm responding to your inquiries on a wide range of topics from toaster oven hotdogs, wedding planning, and of course video games! We’ll also take a bit of a detour into why I love writing, if I think Bigfoot exists, and my general thoughts on the MA sports scene. So pour some hotdog water on your oatmeal and let’s dive in!

A State of Play stream was announced right before this week's episode, so naturally we watched it, and our thoughts are within. Topics of interest from Sony's showing include release dates for Helldivers II and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, new PS5 and DualSense colors, an open beta for Foamstars, Resident Evil 4 Remake DLC, and more. However, all of that news is covered in a pickup, because we recorded a huge show for you without all of that. Have you heard what's going on with the popular engi...

For years, the Dukes were met with abuse and slander due to their faith in Starfield on how it can serve as a turning point in the current generation. The reviews have come and gone, the talk on the streets has become a bit messy to put it lightly, but the numbers don't lie. Starfield is a raging success across all metrics as it is now Bethesda Game Studios' biggest launch of all time as it managed to beat out the likes of Skyrim and Fallout 4. To do so in an exclusive capacity puts things in...

Hi!
It's a quiet time in PlayStation Land, so we thought it would be a good idea to do another mailbag, which you guys seem to love. This time around, Micah is up, our coordinator and co-host of Punching Up.
As always, please keep your inquiries well-written and pithy. Novels, poorly-written posts, etc. are politely ignored.
She'll be recording within the next half-day or so from when this goes live, so act quick!
