Episode 477: Fleeing Irma

This week is a week late due to various issues, but Hurricane Irma was not one of them, as Scott recorded his part of the podcast from Georgia, while Jonah and T.J. live far away from hurricane zones. In the meantime, T.J. goes from being disappointed with Destiny and being ecstatic with Destiny 2.

This week’s news includes:

  • Destiny 2 passes 1 million concurrent users
  • Half-Life writer posts possible Half-Life 2: Episode 3 plot
  • American McGee is ready to make Alice 3
  • Settlers of Catan is coming to virtual reality this year
  • Act 1 of Homestuck adventure game Hiveswap coming out this month (from PC Gamer)
  • Pewdiepie threatened DMCA takedown following his use of the N-word on stream
  • Okami HD spotted for PC, PS4, Xbox One

This week’s Gaming Flashback is the original Assassin’s Creed. Let us know what you think of the game.

  • Matsuda insists Deus Ex not being discontinued
  • Star Citizen releases new video, makes another $500K in a Day
  • Kamiya wants to work on Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe remakes

If you’re wondering what happened to Episode 405, it was recorded, but Jonah’s power supply self-destructed, and wasn’t available til Wednesday, and by then it was too late to post it. (It will be posted at some point in the near future.)

Instead, check out these week’s news:

  • Afro Samurai 2 removed from online stores, players get refunded, episodes 2 and 3 canceled
  • Activision apologizes for Nuk3town pre-order mix up
  • PlayStation 4 is getting PlayStation 2 emulation, Sony reveals
  • Electronic Arts doesn’t want to “nickel and dime” gamers with microtransactions

This week’s new/old news includes:
