This episode is a short one as Jonah flies to Los Angeles in the morning. There’s a followup to the Grand Theft Auto 6 leak, and Aaron Judge hits his 61st home run.
The news includes:
Let us know what you think.
The Gaming Podcast is back after three weeks of a forced hiatus as one former host has left the podcast for good. Otherwise, some of the news items are old, some are new, in this long episode.
There’s no Gaming Flashback or Gaming History, but plenty of news, including:
There’s also some Listener Feedback. The Question of the Week: “Do you think consoles will start doing early access on games?”
This week we’re taking a stroll down memory lane of Deus Ex, hitting up some information about Warren Spector and crashing through some good game news including:
New Guitar Hero Game a “best of” compilation.Of course, we forgot our Question of the Week, so let’s ask it now: How many bad/buggy patches and content updates would you accept before you give up on the developer? Ton’s of great comments this week, hopefully you’ll remember to answer the question we forgot to ask in the show.
Also, check out the show if you’ve got a PS2 and want two volumes of Popcap’s casual games, as we’re looking to give them away.
Sony’s done it, they’ve announced a wireless keyboard adapter to plug onto the stock PlayStation 3 controller. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of this, Microsoft pushed out a keyboard for their Xbox 360 controller last year to provide faster chat abilities and, overall, smooth the interface when needing to type.
Now, Sony’s following up with a few more advancements, “the wireless keyboard also features a touchpad mode to allow for mouse input. David Reeves, president of SCEE, said that this touchpad control mode may be used in future game development.” (kotaku)
Is there any chance our next-generation consoles will be more “PC like” out of the box? With these complex user interfaces featuring web browsers, online marketplaces and areas to enter your credit card information (and addresses) you’re really heading towards needing this type of interface. Now, they’re all starting to include chat and messenger services making it more important… if it catches on.
Perhaps the next console hitting the market will come with a keyboard as an in-the-box solution. Please note, the above image is Sony’s prototype image.
Hi guys.
Thanks as always 🙂
I played a lot of Magic the Gathering because a new expansion was released. And since wrath of the Koch king classic was released for WoW I got back to it for a lot of hours 🙂 I already wrote that to episode 663 which I listened directly before this episode 🙂
First of all: enjoy your holiday in LA Jonah!
Death stranding? Chapeau! I was so damn excited for this game and I was so hard disappointed … can’t remember whenever a game disappointed me that much. I think I managed to play 10 hours to give it a try, but I don’t think I will ever return to it 🙂
GTA6 Leak: I think the only GTA I played was the first one together with a friend sitting together and he played it, I watched it 🙂
KOF: isn’t there a new Street Fighter coming? I don’t know anything about KoF per Samurai showdown … only Street Fighter 🙂
Sorry that I can’t say so much this time, but I don’t know what to say regarding games I don’t know 🙂
Please stay healthy and keep on gaming!
Greetings from Germany
Ralf
