Episode 728: No Man’s Renewal

Because you asked for it, the podcast features four guys, including Jonah Falcon, Paul S. Nowak, Jordan Lund, and Dan Quick. This is the no frills edition, however, as due to travel to PAX East, there’s no Gaming Flashback, and only a few news items.

They include:

• Rumor: Xbox 720 will require constant internet connection
• Spector saw “look of fear in people’s eyes” over musicals in Epic Mickey 2
• GAME acquired by OpCapita, no store closures planned
• Sony confirms Zipper Interactive closure
• Wii U less powerful than PS3, Xbox 360, developers say

We also include Reader Feedback. We’ll have a Question of the Week next week, we promise.

This week we check out Paradox Interactive’s showcase, as well as the following news:

• Cities: Skylines 2 achievements reveal hailstorms, rat infestations, and 150 map tiles in a single city
• Evidence is mounting for an upcoming Minecraft Bedrock world editor mode

Let us know what you think of Paradox’s lineup.
