Episode 504: Very Very LateEpisode 504: Very Very Late

This week’s episode is very late thanks to Jonah having to prep for E3, which much of the podcast focuses on. There’s even a massive argument between Jonah and TJ about which film was better: Tron or Tron: Legacy, while Tron 2.0 gets its love as well. This week’s Gaming Flashback is Microsoft’s most popular JRPG, Blue Dragon.

The news items include:

Capcom registers Devil May Cry 5 site, fueling E3 2018 rumors
Ubisoft confirms E3 reveal of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Rumor: Microsoft to reveal three Gears of War games at E3
Rumor: Rocksteady to announce a Superman game at E3

What do you expect from E3? Let us know.

There’s a new Question of the Week that wasn’t going to be the Question – listen and find out what it is.

Episode 550: Kowtowing to ChinaEpisode 550: Kowtowing to China

Blizzard finds itself in hot water as it finds itself having to explain its actions in pleasing the Chinese government, in news that’s still hot and doesn’t look like it’s going to cool down anytime soon. It’s enough to overshadow even an official console announcement from Sony. There’s a Gaming Flashback, the embarrassingly bad FMV game Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties.

The news this week includes:

Blizzard is facing a boycott after removing a Hearthstone Grandmaster
PlayStation 5 launches Holiday 2020
Doom Eternal delayed until March 2020, Doom 64 goes multiformat
