432 | The Future Is But A Question Mark
A common complaint during the PlayStation 5 generation has been that the core fanbase has is being ignored. There's obvious truth to this statement, as Sony pivots more and more towards the free-to-play and games-as-a-service audiences that now sustain the brand. But perhaps they're still listening, after all. Recent rumors indicate a new Ape Escape is in development at an external second party team, joining People Can Fly's alleged Killzone project as yet another look backwards into PlayStation's extensive well of dormant IP.

The Star Wars Game Renaissance Is Here!
Sure, we expected Star Wars: Galactic Racer to be good off the pitch alone. A new studio, featuring members of the Burnout team, is creating a spiritual sequel to the Nintendo 64 podracing game? Yes, please! We didn’t, however, predict the game’s creator would splice a clever story and an inspired roguelike structure into the racing genre. Our GOTY conversation just got a bit more complicated. Plus, we discuss how Galactic Racer is one part of a larger trend of delightful Star Wars games that have a fresh vision for the franchise.

Galactic Racer: The Star Wars Burnout That Cured Our Star Wars Burnout - Beyond 959
This week we dive into why we're loving the newest Star Wars games, Galactic Racer and Zero Company. Why the food looks so good in Ace Combat 8, why taking work meetings while driving is probbaly a terrible idea, the resident evil books, and why crashing a dune buggy while playing Ghost Recon might have disasterious environmental side effects. But before all of that, Max and Brian share an important update on the future of the show and look back on some of their favorite memories covering PlayStation at IGN. Until next time, Beyond!
Resident Evil (2026)

Control Resonant Rewards Your Patience
Control Resonant is technically a sequel to 2019’s Control. But developer Remedy has (as they often do) opted to stretch the definition of sequel as far as possible, converting the third-person shooter series into an open-world action game. Shockingly, it works… once you get your sea-legs. Plus, we talk about how the release of Gears of War: E-DAY falls in the shadow of the brutal layoffs and changes at Xbox.
