Episode 653: Hello Starfield

Microsoft finally showed off Starfield in a 15 minute demo of various aspects of the game. Is it worth the excitement? Was there anything else notable at the Microsoft/Bethesda Showcase?

If that weren’t enough, the guys also talked about the Devolver Digital showcase with such games as Card Shark and Anger Foot, the PC Gaming Show with such titles as Agent 64: Spies Never Die and Tactical Breach Wizards, and Capcom’s showcase including Resident Evil, Resident Evil and more Resident Evil (and Exoprimal).

Let us know what you think.

  1. Hi Guys.

    As usual: thanks for your effort in this episode, i highly aprecciate this!

    Regarding the topics:
    I did not play that much atm, its too hot πŸ˜€
    I played a little bit God of War on the PS5, a little bit Magic Arena and a little bit Life is strange: true colors.

    Turtles: I will buy the game as well, games like these are so much fun with friends and the price is totally fair imho.

    Starfield: i watched the short clips, which have been shown during the Microsoft Bethesda showcase event some days ago. But i am not very interested in that game, because its too huge. I sadly dont have the time to play such big games where you have to spent so many time πŸ™

    Silksong: cant wait to be released!

    Hot Wheels: Yes i am excited as well. Looks funny and interesting, even if am not so much into racing games πŸ™‚

    Regarding all the other games, i dont know them, so cant say anything about it πŸ™

    Thanks again and please stay healthy!
    Greetings from germany,
    Ralf

  2. Dragon’s Dogma 2 might be great if they expand choices with the collaboration features. Maybe have tactical party settings like Dragon Age 2 had, so you can direct collaborative battles without tediously micro-managing.

    Great show!

Scrabulous Out, Scrabble InScrabulous Out, Scrabble In

For those that are Facebook junkies, playing their hearts out of Scrabulous, you’re going to be hit with some reality: it’s not real scrabble. Hasbro has attempted to pull the Scrabulous game off of Facebook because they’re not licensing it from the owner, but it’s still there. Is Hasbro’s “real” Scrabble going to sway addicted Scrabulous players?

Now, Hasbro is launching the real Scrabble game on pogo.com and on Facebook for social networking purposes. Our own Casual Gamer Chick, Jennifer, will be reviewing the upcoming Facebook app later this week (once we get her to sign up for Facebook!)

This will be Hasbro’s first go at social networking, given their trying to beat out Scrabulous, it’s going to be a tough battle, let’s see how they do!

Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades (Nintendo DS)Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades (Nintendo DS)

Talk about a name dropping, E3 is all about hyping upcoming titles to get people stoked and talking about the games.Β  Nintendo had very little to say but to let the name slip Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades with a few minor tidbits about what we can expect.

First, we can expect massive carpel tunnel syndrome. Second, you can expect something similar to what we’ve seen in Guiter Hero On Tour with a few minor tweaks:

“They did reveal that the game will feature song sharing between Nintendo DS handelds, which would mean one copy of the game has the potential to have a song the other doesn’t? Could there be DS downloadable tracks in the near future?” (kotaku)

It seems a bit quick to be pushing towards yet another release, although no dates have been set besides “coming soon.” Had it been Sony, we could expect soon to be a few years, but Nintendo is usually pretty prompt when it comes to release schedules. Of course, they’ll wait for the On Tour sales to die down before we see the Decades release.

Unfortunately no songs have been talked about yet, it was really more of a name dropping than a detailed announcement. Perhaps they didn’t have a large enough E3 press release time slot, or they were much more jazzed to talk about the Wii Motion Plus product and Wii Sports Resort.
