This week includes a Gaming Flashback about the sticky puzzle game World of Goo, which was one of the first games released without DLC — which is one of the main themes running through this podcast: videogame obsolescence. The guys also discuss James Gunn’s work on Lollipop Chainsaw and speedrun cheating.
The news for the week includes:
- Ubisoft to pull online from older games, which also takes away your DLC
- Sucker Punch has “no plans to revisit” its Sly Cooper or InFamous games
- Squad’s 50v50 tactical FPS action has moved over 3 million copies
- Fable reboot gets a new narrative lead
All this and Listener Feedback.
So there you have it, the PlayStation 3‘s 80GB console is now the price of the PlayStation 3’s 40GB console, running in at $399.99. This is, in effect, a price drop to compete well with the Xbox 360 which is now going to be $349.99.
