This episode follows the three hour long E3 episode, but there was so much E3 to talk about, a lot of the show spilled over into this show, including the crew talking about the swag Jonah sent to them, and Sony’s “winning” of E3 in terms of media attention. There was going to be a Gaming History, but the episode ran long and they weren’t going to have a two hour podcast after a three hour one.
The news of the week includes:
- Microsoft and Nintendo troll Sony over crossplay
- Bethesda lawsuit says Westworld game stole Fallout Shelter code
- Microsoft and Razer are working on Xbox keyboard and mouse support
- Nintendo Switch could get its own new Monster Hunter games
- Life is Strange 2 Episode One release date revealed
There was some Listener Feedback to last week’s episode, too.
Midway’s been around the industry for years, has decided to lay off up to 90 people and cut the Criminal project from their lineup. This is a long term plan of cost reduction by the board of directors to get down costs and keep the company running smoothly.
Hi guys.
As always: thanks a lot for the entertainment 🙂
I would love it, if there would be more crossplay with all consoles/PCs. It’s possible for such a complex game like Final Fantasy 14, so it can’t be that hard for other games, right? Why do companies don’t support it so that the people don’t have to decide which console the buy, except for personal preferences and/or exclusive titles?
The support for keyboard and mouse is a must and would make so many things easier and more accessible …. please do this for all consoles … modern consoles are PCs in a different case, so it can’t be that hard, too , right?
And regarding cyberpunk 2077 … ok ok you got me, I think I will pre order it 🙂
I did not get the unreal game for free, but maybe the soundtrack is worth it? Nine inch nails are great 🙂
Thanks guys and keep up the good work!
