Gaming Podcast’s Jonah Falcon and Shack News’ T.J. Denzer do a totally-not-ripping-off-Zero-Punctuation’s-Let’s-Drown-Out video of the former playing Viscera Cleanup Detail as they discuss how depressing the announcement of the Electronic Arts/NFL exclusive license extension is, promising more awful Madden titles.

This week’s episode as a guest in the form of Jordan Lund’s wife Jennifer. There was to be a Gaming History, but it’ll be used next week when there’s more time.
This week’s news includes:
- Microsoft Points transformed into cash
- Gamers can return digital titles on Origin after a week
- Bungie feels Destiny can be bigger than Halo, as big as Star Wars
- Borderlands 2 coming to PlayStation Vita
- Sony announces 33 “launch” titles for PlayStation 4
- Microsoft announces launch titles for Xbox One
- The Sims 4 emotional gameplay revealed at GamesCom 2013
All this and Listener Feedback, with the same “console or PC gamer?” question from last week.
SimAnimals, The Next Gen Black & WhiteSimAnimals, The Next Gen Black & White
Electronic Arts has announced SimAnimals, a game where you play the godlike hand and control the lifestyle of over 60 animals. In the game you’ll play the role of a disembodied hand which moves around and life animals, pick flowers and interact with the environment much like a past Lionhead Studios game: Black and White.
EA’s not exactly being the most creative with this Wii and DS game based on the sounds of it so far, as it clones a lot of the features in Black and White, including how “animals react” when you treat them a specific way. However, we’ve not had this style of game on the Wii or DS, both very “touchy” in methodology.
Black and White had the touch sensitive control scheme using tactile feedback with the mouse implemented with Immersion technology. This brings the style of gameplay to a new level, but nothing we’ve heard thus far makes us think originality. Cute and cool, perhaps but it’s nothing new. Of course, who said it had to be new?
We know old gaming concepts sell well at this point!
