This week on the Boss Rush Podcast:
Corey Dirrig, LeRon Dawkins, and Patrick Klein dive into how two iconic franchises—Grand Theft Auto and Fallout—remain forever rooted in American culture. Rockstar’s Dan Houser and Bethesda’s Todd Howard both reaffirm that their series simply wouldn’t work outside the U.S., with GTA’s satirical take on “Americana” and Fallout’s atomic-age paranoia defining their worlds.
The crew also breaks down Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s comments that Xbox’s biggest rival isn’t PlayStation but TikTok, as the gaming industry now battles for players’ attention rather than console dominance. Plus, new data shows remakes vastly outpacing remasters in revenue on PS5, proving players crave fully reimagined classics like Resident Evil 4 and Silent Hill 2.
The Nintendo Switch edges toward breaking DS sales records, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s latest trailer amps up the hype ahead of launch, and Hideo Kojima reacts to learning that Konami once rejected a Matrix game pitch.
