November 20, 2019| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 3:38 am

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
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is coming to Steam

October 11, 2019| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 12:00 am

Blizzard finds itself in hot water as it finds itself having to explain its actions in pleasing the Chinese government, in news that’s still hot and doesn’t look like it’s going to cool down anytime soon. It’s enough to overshadow even an official console announcement from Sony. There’s a Gaming Flashback, the embarrassingly bad FMV game Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties.

The news this week includes:

Blizzard is facing a boycott after removing a Hearthstone Grandmaster
PlayStation 5 launches Holiday 2020
Doom Eternal delayed until March 2020, Doom 64 goes multiformat

The crew realize how prickly gamers are getting. Lootboxes may make them complain, but it won’t stop them from paying. Exclusive DLC? That seems to be a bridge too far.

The news includes:

Modern Warfare fans are cancelling pre-orders over Spec Ops exclusivity
PS4 cross-play features reportedly out of beta, now available to all developers
French CS:GO players can preview loot box contents now, but still have to claim them

Jonah finally finishes the strange puzzle platformer Inside and discusses it with the crew during the post-podcast discussion. Otherwise, there’s news galore, as well as a Gaming Flashback of the notorious flop Sonic the Hedgehog from 2006.

It includes:

Quantic Dream is “not exclusive to any platform anymore”
An enhanced edition of System Shock 2 is in development
Nintendo Switch SNES controller spotted
Minecraft‘s Super Duper Graphics Pack officially canceled

The previous week’s episode had too many technical issues to post, so this week’s episode overcompensates by being over two hours long. The Gaming Flashback this week is none other than 2009’s Minecraft, which is still going strong well into 2019.

This week’s news includes:

Microsoft explains Xbox Game Pass for PC, selling games on Steam (from GameWatcher)
The Avengers game is being revealed at E3 2019
Super Mario Maker 2‘s lack of costumes and online matchmaking with friends upsets fans
Wolfenstein: Youngblood to feature ray-tracing technology

All this and Listener Feedback.

April 11, 2019| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 12:52 pm

This week’s episode is kind of short because there’s really nothing big to discuss. There is news, however, which includes:

Borderlands 3 cross-platform multiplayer “is something we’re looking at closely” according to 2K
