SBFVGS – Ep.204: The Game Awards!

Adam, Mike, and David are back, baby! With a little one on the way for David (Christmas baby?), the guys kick into a beefy yule log of an episode to end 2025, with a rundown of their latest gaming conquests. David is obsessed with the surprisingly wholesome extraction shooter Arc Raiders, Adam is getting his butt kicked in the beta for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, and Mike is solving mysteries in The Séance of Blake Manor.

Next up, the crew breaks down the week’s industry-shaking news, including the massive Netflix/Warner Bros. merger, CD Projekt Red’s ambitious Witcher roadmap, and the stealth release of the Red Dead Redemption upgrade. They also take a moment to field some hard-hitting listener questions about the ethics of gacha games like Umamusume, and answer the ultimate hypothetical: “If you could implement one thing from video games into your real life, what would it be?”

Finally, it’s time for the main event: The 2025 Game Awards! Now that the trophies have been handed out, the crew dissects the results. They go deep on the winners, debate the biggest snubs, and analyze the shocks and surprises from the industry’s biggest night.

In Episode 201 of Super Best Friends Video Game Sleepover, hosts Adam Redding, Mike Lopez, and David Tate are joined by Twitch streamer extraordinaire ShabbySheikah (https://twitch.tv/ShabbySheikah). They delve into their recent gaming experiences, including titles like Backpack Hero, No Man’s Sky, Dark Souls 3, Lies of P, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, The Stanley Parable, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

The crew discusses the full leak of the new Assassin’s Creed game, controversial comments from Dragon Age Inquisition’s CEO, the closure of Monolith Productions by Warner Bros., the delay of the new Fable game, and speculation on Microsoft’s shift to digital-only gaming.

They also tackle community questions, sharing their thoughts on the potential PS5 Pro console, the idea of a Lilo & Stitch-themed Pokémon Go, a hypothetical legal battle between Disney and Nintendo, and surprise guest appearances by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Christopher Walken.

The main topic explores whether the console wars are over, debating if Microsoft’s recent announcement to bring their biggest games to all platforms signals the end of console exclusivity and a victory for Sony. Are the console wars truly over? Tune in to Episode 201 of SBFVGS to find out!
