Gaming Podcast is back after a week off, as Jordan talks about playing games on his brand-new PlayStation 4, while Jonah is anxious and worried about the Xbox One launch this week.
There’s also a ton of news this week, including:
- Unlucky PlayStation 4 owners face ‘blue light of death’
- Report: Apple in “talks” to purchase co-creators of original Kinect tech
- Ubisoft explains why launch games underwhelm
- Xbox One launch official broadcast available through Spike, GameTrailers
- Survey: only 1 percent of gamers want a Wii U this Holiday season
- Ken Levine defends BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Episode 1‘s length
- World of Warcraft not going free-to-play, stop asking
- More Fallout 4 evidence pops up with trademark registration
And the Question of the Week: “What was the best budget game you ever bought?”
We’re all used to Sony falling on their face at E3 in the last few years, but, this year, things were different. They’re information was delivered well, they had a great presentation medium using Little Big Planet‘s game engine as a presentation platform over the standard PowerPoint slides and everything went smoothly.
I’m so glad I finished Jade Empire before this episode. I have to say I did see it coming in the cut scene just after you defeat the emperor. He got the gem and was just walking down the steps and I thought “Oh man he’s evil! Dammit!”
If PS3 programming isn’t so different from PS4 then why can’t we have backwards compatibility?
I’m thinking of getting a Wii U mostly as a family console for us all to play on. I don’t know what Nintendo’s strategy is anymore if they are giving up on main console and just going to go 3DS.
QOTW: I think it was getting Roberta William’s Ultimate collection of the entire KQ games, both Luara bow games, and a few others on four discs with a soundtrack included for about $20.
I also got a Neo Geo with about 10 games for 20$ from a pawn shop but that system and games we got sucked. We used it as a cd player after that.
