We share our thoughts on this and the rise of licensed games once more, look at Firesprite growing into their new office space for their studio and how they might be useful to PlayStation in the future, and talk Xbox's current win against the FTC case over the Activision buyout and how that might shake out by the end of it all. All of this while catching up on The Boys crossover campaign across gaming, checking our gut feelings on PSVR2's current support and how we feel about it's future, have fun with Baldur's Gate 3's weird romance options, and play some Metacritic golf in another fun Velvet's Corner!

Gex Trilogy Remastered, The Last of Us 2 PS5 rumor, Microsoft Beat FTC & more! | Triangle Squared Ep. 314

This week sees plenty of love for old games alongside rumors for not so old games with Limited Run Games announcing the Gex Trilogy remaster alongside other classics like Tomba, The Last of Us 2 MIGHT be getting a PS5 remaster if the games composer is to be believed, and Microsoft winning the case against the FTC to allow them to move forward with the Activision Blizzard merger, or at least move to the next roadblock by way of the CMA. We share our thoughts on these, while checking out July's PS Plus Extra and Premium tier additions bringing newer classics like It Takes Two and Fast & Furious to subscribers alongside a return of the first two Twisted Metal games ahead of the live action series debut, look at the community's preference for multiplayer design, and look at what game genres we think are becoming satrurated while asking what genres we miss and SO MUCH MORE!
