About this episode

The episode discusses various gaming news, including the return of Castlevania and debates around GTA 6 and hardware issues.

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
