Gamescom Opening Night Live aired this past week and with were a bunch of new trailers and game announcements. So this week I dig through all the news and announcements to talk about my favorite games from the show and review the show overall. Additionally, the Saints Row reboot launched to very ‘meh’ status, some clips from The Last of Us TV show surfaced and we got some new trailers for Forspoken and Atomic Heart. Dare I say, Forspoken looks good?!?
Contuning this series sharing my favorite gaming collectibles, here is this rare Black Friday Nintendo 3ds!
The upcoming Xbox Exclusive, Redfall, is confirmed to be launching at 30fps with a performance mode coming at a later date and this news took the internet by storm. We dive in to this unfortunate reality for one of my most anticipated games this year as well as some of the drama around it online. Additionally, we react to the Final Fantasy 16 State of Play and the newly revealed EA Original Immortals of Aveum.
Rumor has it that Playstation is making a new handheld gaming device and, while it may not be the Vita 2, it may have some promise if its real. So this week we’re diving into these rumors and sharing our thoughts on who this device could be for. Additionally we review the new Super Mario Bros. Movie and respond to this idea that Xbox should just buy everything.
One of gaming’s biggest events, E3, has officially been cancelled (again) this year after several additional publishers dropped out. As everyone seems to be doing their own thing it hasn’t really been the same since the pandemic and, suffice it say, I don’t think we need it anymore. So this week we’re diving into why E3 is no longer needed. Additionally we discuss the new Zelda Tears of the Kingdom gameplay, some more Xbox Activision updates and PSVR2 sales numbers.
EA and Respawn have reportedly cancelled an upcoming single player game in the Titanfall/Apex Legends universe codenames “Titanfall Legends”. While not directly Titanfall 3, this is as close as we seemingly would have gotten to another Titanfall game so it’s certainly a shame it’ll never see the light of day. We dive into this story as well as the online requirement for Xbox’s Redfall, the delay for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Gears 6 and the rumor that Playstation has lowered their PSVR2 forecasts. Are you bummed about this Titanfall cancellation? Let me know down in the comments below!
