This particular episode becomes a little sleepy as one host actually falls asleep during recording. Guess which one. After last week’s episode only partially uploaded, the Gaming Flashback for Okami is actually an insert, too.
The news items include:
- It’s a big week for new game releases on Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC
- Lego Dimensions comes to an early end after two years
- Why Xbox One backward compatibility took so long
- Ex-BioWare says Anthem is an example of EA’s monetization plans
Let us know what you think — without falling asleep first.
Episode 264: This Podcast is DRM-FreeEpisode 264: This Podcast is DRM-Free
This week is full of gaming goodness as E3 slowly creeps up like kudzu, but there’s still plenty to talk about this week. For one, the Gaming Flashback is the classic Infocom game Planetfall.
The news for the week:
- DICE has Frostbite-powered titles for 2013 that “will require a 64-bit OS”
- Actors confirm return to recording booth for Mass Effect 3
- CD Projekt RED: The truth is DRM does not work
- Potential $1 billion suit against EA by former student-athletes moves forward
All that and Reader Feedback. This week’s Question of the Week, “Have you ever wanted a game but didn’t buy it due to DRM?”
Final Fantasy XIII Demo For PS3 AnnouncedFinal Fantasy XIII Demo For PS3 Announced
The first demo for Final Fantasy XIII has been announced, but, it will only be available (right now) on the PlayStation 3. It will arrive as “bonus material” when you purchase Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete because the game arrives on Blu-Ray and there is plenty of room for this additional content.
The game is scheduled to be released in March of 2009 in Japan, so the United States and other territories may not get an early demo of FFXIII. Does this give everyone a reason to purchase a PlayStation 3? Nothing says it won’t be available as a downloadable Demo on Xbox Live… because nobody’s really talked to that topic at all yet.
Square Enix has publically stated they’ll start the Final Fantasy XIII port to the Xbox 360 once it’s finished on the PlayStation 3, so presumably we won’t see a demo (or a final game) for some time to come. The end result, demo or no demo, is the same: a dual release on two of the big colorful platforms in the way of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles.
