Gaming Podcast is back after the one week break, and finally truly weighs in on the announcement of the Switch – and aren’t impressed. What does impress the crew is the latest addition to the survival horror genre, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, which takes the radical approach of being a survival horror game. They also ponder about how great a Zelda/Minecraft game would be.

The next episode will be Gaming Podcast’s 10th anniversary, so longtime listeners are encouraged to write in.

Nintendo should make money off its intellectual property accumulated over the past decades; I’m sure that a lot of people would like to own an online library like that of Steam, Origin, Uplay, and etc. exclusively of Nintendo games.

Gaming Podcast 205: Scary PoopGaming Podcast 205: Scary Poop

This week’s gaming podcast includes a gaming flashback on Rock N Roll Racing, a game that was very close to the game Derrick thought about last week. We’ve got community comments, as the usual, and a few good news articles that emphasis hacking:

PS3 Hacking Begins in Earnest, and Sony “Looking Into” It
Mac App Store Cracked
Microsoft Thinks PC Kinect Hacks are “Cool”
Nintendo 3DS to Have 3-8 Hours Battery Life
Interplay Calls Bethesda’s Legal Claims Absurd
Lord of the Rings Online Triples Profit

The focus on security and hacking brings out the emotions in this episode, we’re sure you’ll have a few things to say about it as well. Say on young warriors! (and warriorette’s). This weeks question of the week: What non-game features do you enjoy on your videogame console, and what features do you find useless?

Plenty to talk about, as the guys discuss Cities Skylines 2, The Elder Scrolls 6, Phil Spencer’s old emails, the Steam Deck 2 and The Division 3. However, the main focus of discussion lies in the Nintendo Direct, PlayStation State of Play and Xbox Tokyo Game Show conference and what to expect in the future.

The news otherwise features:

Xbox Series X disc-Less design leaks online
Fallout 3 remaster leads colossal Microsoft leak of unannounced games

Let us know what you think.

So, a day before the Xbox Series X preorder launch (which after the podcast was a complete shitshow), Microsoft drops the mic by announcing they just essentially purchased The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Prey, DOOM, and other major properties. Not much else to talk about, really.

The game news includes:

Microsoft purchases ZeniMax for $7.5B
Bethesda’s overhauling its engine for Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6
Former Skullgirls developers have launched a new studio called Future Club
Hades has sold 1m copies
Blizzard confirms BlizzCon 2021 dates
