The episode is a day late, sorry about that, folks. In this episode, we wish Paul was with us to discuss what he thought of the release of Jem and the Holograms in theaters. The banter is strong, but not overstuffed like last week.
Lots of news this week, however:
- Konami insists Hideo Kojima still works at company
- 343 Industries not ruling out PC port of Halo 5
- Rebellion rescues Kickstarter backers from GRIN’s bankruptcy
- Classic car combat RPG Autoduel may be making a comeback with inXile
- Pete Hines: Entire game not on Fallout 4 PC disc
- Vivendi seeking more shares of Ubisoft, board seats
The Question on the Week: Do you prefer first person or isometric RPGs?
Rhythm games are the new FPS for a lot of gamers, a broader audience of gamers, and the market is thriving and demanding new titles. Harmonix and Activision are at the front of the battle with Konami following a bit behind but still contending (we think) very soon.
Much like Kameo: Elements of Power, Fable 2 ships without online co-op mode on day-one. However, Kameo didn’t promise the co-op mode prior to the games release, or talk about it in their presentations and hype machine conferences.
