Originally recorded in the early morning of 09/08/22. Sean had a death in the family shortly before recording this episode which delayed the release of it.
As the gaming world gears up for some big announcements within the next few weeks, the acquisitions and stock purchases of companies continue, as Tencent and Sony make payments to up their stake in Elden Ring developer From Software, while Tencent even does the same with Ubisoft making the rumors from a few weeks ago come true. Not to mention, Net Ease ups their stake into a full-on acquisition as they have made it their intention to purchase Quantic Dream.
The battle still rages on between Sony and Microsoft in the fight with the review boards, as Sony gets a small victory in forcing an in-depth review of the Activision-Blizzard-King acquisition in the UK. While also fanning the flames of social media with Jim Ryan’s statement that “Microsoft’s offer is inadequate.” Is it really a bad deal? Would this actually weaken Sony’s place in the gaming industry? And should that really be a region’s place to decide anyway? Shouldn’t Microsoft’s intent to want to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation play a role in this as well?
If you haven’t noticed, there sure have been a lot of Horror games in the works lately, the System Shock devs say this in-large part due to the success of Resident Evil 2 Remake. Sean and Marc discusses the revival of Horror games and what are some franchises that are dormant they’d like to see make a comeback.
Plus, should we believe the rumors about the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Wind Waker remasters being announced for Switch at the next Nintendo Direct? What the canceling of Split-Screen Co-op says about the state of Halo Infinite, final thoughts on Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Soul Hackers 2, and more.
