CORE - Core Gaming for Core Gamers

Wow Prepatch has us interested again. Modern Warfare lets you shrink it a little. Spider-Man gets a cat. Monster Hunter gets a movie. Animal Crossing is a Among Us game it turns out. Scott plays Final Fantasy 14. Hades still a threat. A mashup and more!

What is Luna and do you want it? Or are there already too many gaming streaming services. Steve enters Smash and some are not happy about it. Sony does a hardware breakdown of the PS5. Nvidia cards are WAY back ordered now. Baldur's Gate 3 is in EA. Scott played and really liked Neir Automata. Shocking we know. Hades, Forgone and The Solitaire Conspiracy get a look too. Hades especially. Squadrons is...ok we think. Great emails and more!

What even is crunch in gaming and what can be done about it? Also early Series X impressions are in, and they are good! Among Us dumps sequel and goes back to the first game. A bunch Metal Gears make their way to GoG. Peter Parker looks different on PS5. Scott talks about his effort to scratch the right open world itch he has right now. Shadow of War, Watch Dogs 2, and Just Cause 4 on deck. Jon rightly loves Hades, but not Super Mario All-Stars 3D. Spelunky 2 is pretty great though. Beau finished Banner Saga 2 and is ready for 3! Our /paid on Steam and more!

HUGE week of discussion. Let's start with Mike Morheim announcing today that Dreamhaven is his new games company, with sub studios, Secret Door and Moonshot. All of what that means and could mean. Plus, preordering PS5's and Xboxs is harder than you thought. Also GTX3080's for that matter. A big discussion about the Xbox plan, and how their HUGE acquisition of Zenimax/Bethesda could impact things. 7.5 BILLION dollars is a lot of dollars. No Man's Sky goes further than we thought. Shadow of War. Art of Rally. Avengers goes on hold. Disgaea PC. The Banner Saga. And your emails and more!

Sony took the virtual stage today, and we have price and dates for PS5. Also a look at Final Fantasy 16, Mile Morales, The Plus Collection, and Ragnorok, a God of War sequel. Mad Max, Wasteland 3, Luigi's Mansion, streaming some cooking and guitar playing, and The Beau Zone Layer!

Microsoft finally confirms and gives a date to the Xbox Series X and S, and we think this is all a pretty insane deal. We talk about all of it, including what we think Sony will need to do to answer what we got this week from MS. EA adds to the pile as well. The Witcher is getting a free next gen update for all owners. Nintendo wants you to do lots of temporary things for his 35th birthday. Mad Max, Star Renegades, Control, Marvel's Avengers, Crusader Kings 3, Divinity 2, Dead Cells, and LOTS more. Oh and why your eyes might be your display problem.

Nvidia cards and what they might do to your wallet this year. Ubisoft renames Gods and Monsters to something dumber. Sony is thinking about more PC games. Witcher goes full Pokemon. What it means to fall off the games management wagon, and how to get back on. Spiritfarer is amazing and you should be playing it. Wasteland 3. New Super Lucky's Tale. Fall Guys. Crusader Kings 3. And why you should ask for Dante when getting gigabit internet.

We give our take on the Apple / Fortnite / Google thing. DC had a big week with two big game announcements. What even is Lord of the RIngs: Gollum? Fall Guys keeps breaking records. Jon wants back into FFXIV. Rogue Legacy 2, Sleeping Dogs is done, Mad Max visit, The Witcher 3 is done for Jon. Grounded is pretty grounded. Dead Cells for Beau. And LOTS MORE!

Halo Infinite infinitely delayed. Cyberpunk shows off LifePaths. Doom Eternal gets some DLC. Last of Us 2 gets a HUGE update. Sleeping Dogs, Hellbound, Littlewood, Witcher, HZD, Paper Mario and why Beau loves Youtube premium. :)

Spider-Man comes to PS5 only for Avengers, PS4 controllers only work with PS4 games. Diablo Immortal gameplay shown. Fall Guys seems rad. Zelda Monsters in your book! On our playlists, Yakuza 0, Earthlock, Blazing Beaks, Paper Mario, Odyssey, Diablo 3 and more!
