The sound problems continue, while Jonah complains about not being able to live stream Dragon Quest XI; this issue is something that’s frustrated PlayStation, PC and Switch gamers for the past few years, and there doesn’t seem to be a reason why the restrictions are there.

Otherwise, the news of the week includes:

Mass Effect and Dragon Age leads leave BioWare
Halo Infinite now planned for a Fall 2021 release
Square Enix delists original Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age as S version comes out

Injustice 3, featuring the Watchmen, has been seemingly teased

In Episode 552, there was no TJ. This time, Scott has to duck out early in the podcast, leaving a two man podcast again. It’s all good since the quality is still there. (Maybe not.) There’s also a Gaming Flashback: Burnout Paradise.

This week’s news includes:

Anthem reportedly set for major overhaul as BioWare looks to reboot its troubled game
Minecraft Dungeons will be supported long term with a mix of free updates and paid DLC

October 25, 2018| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 4:45 pm

It’s seems like old times as there’s a new IntelliVision console coming out to compete with the Atari VCS. The funny part, of course, is that the new IntelliVision will feature Atari 2600 games on it published by Atari. I guess we’re all friends now. This week’s Gaming Flashback is Dead Space.

As for the news:

Intellivision Amico console coming in 2020
Jade Raymond leaves Electronic Arts
Splash Damage ends development of its team-based shooter Dirty Bomb
Fortnite‘s Save the World Mode won’t be going free-to-play in 2018

The Question of the Week is: “Which cancelled game would you wish have been completed: Starcraft Ghost, Fallout 3 (Van Buren), Warcraft Adventures, Scalebound, Fez 2, Prey 2, The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive, Full Throttle 2, or something else?”

August 30, 2018| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 12:00 am

Last week’s episode was delayed by Jonah producing a new show (The Jonah Falcon Show), then by the tragedy on Sunday, August 26. Now, the podcast recorded last week and the one recorded this week have been merged into one big 2+ hour show.

Last week’s news items included:

Devil May Cry 5 arrives in March
Cyberpunk 2077 quests similar to The Witcher 3 ‘in terms of playtime and complexity’
Rumor: Nintendo planning big Switch upgrade
Soulcalibur 6 Story Mode and DLC character announced

This past week’s news was simple:

EA cancels remaining Madden Classic qualifiers

To be fair, the crew ended up talking about other stuff going on during the week, including the the E3 demo for Cyberpunk 2077 that was finally released to the general public. Gaming still brings smiles to people’s faces.

June 16, 2018| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 8:36 pm

This week’s episode is three hours long — Jonah’s mic was moving in the first minute, but after that, it’s ok. There’s no news, just discussion of each of the press briefings that preceded E3, as well as some of the games that Jonah got hands-on time with. TJ is sad that he didn’t get to attend this year, while Scott is getting E3 swag.

Next week, back to news items!
