Microsoft confirmed their ownership of Zenimax, and what wasn’t in the episode because it would be revealed in Thursday that Bethesda games and others would be as exclusive as possible to PC and Xbox; contractual agreements would have to be honored, of course.

This week’s news includes:

Microsoft’s $7.5B acquisition of Bethesda has been given the green light
Star Dynasties announced
Phasmophobia’s latest update means ghosts can open doors and follow your voice

This week’s episode covers a wide variety of topics, with no set news list save talking about Nintendo Direct’s oddly uninspiring conference. There’s no news list, so feel free to discuss what you found interesting or frustrating about Nintendo’s stream or anything else mentioned in the podcast.

January 6, 2021| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 12:00 pm

This is the first podcast of 2021! It was also recorded a day before people decided to invade the US Capitol. How weird is that, hearing us blissfully unaware of insurrectionists who thought they could terrorize the US Senate?

Anyway, this week’s news includes:

Minecraft Earth is closing in June
Bethesda tweets about Elder Scrolls
Hitman 3 will launch with trilogy-wide optimizations

2020 is coming to a close, and the crew talk about the absolute shitshow that Cyberpunk 2077 has been in the past few weeks. The Gaming Flashback this week is Demon’s Souls, which is a game that T.J. loves and hates. They also discuss how the PlayStation 5 is in trouble.

This week’s news items include:

Cyberpunk 2077 devs reportedly angry with management about unrealistic deadlines

Comments are currently having technical issues. Will update when fixed.

December 10, 2020| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 1:20 pm

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

December 3, 2020| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 12:53 pm

This weekend’s episode is two hours long, but due to some software recording issues, the audio sounds like it was recorded from the desktop. However, there’s a ton of discussion of news from around the industry, not just the two news items listed below. In addition, this week’s Gaming Flashback is Alan Wake, which was actually one of the news items back in Episode 252: “Alan Wake on PC because Remedy ‘a nagging little kid’ to Microsoft”.

This week’s news includes:

Xbox hedgehog picture kicks up Sega purchase rumors again
Super Gore Nest Master Level arrives in DOOM Eternal update
