Listen Later

Good Morning CoinDroppers!

Zach is back with us with some awesome news as we discuss (briefly) the new valve hardware, two RPGS, and the GOTY nominees so with out further delay let's get into the content!

Steam Machine

Moore's Law is Dead did a fantastic breakdown of this new machine with what I think is probably a pretty accurate estimate on what consumers can expect to pay for this. I won't go into too much detail here but If you want more depth on the gabecube check out his video.

Steam Frame

This kick ass new piece of kit has me very excited to get back into VR gaming. LinusTechTips got to go to valve and put his hands on this thing hand honestly if the price point is right I'll likely be picking one of these bad boys up day one.

FateKeeper

Mike and I discussed our first impressions of this ambitious new project from an indie team during it's debut at the THQ showcase earlier this year and now we have some gameplay. Needless to say I'm sold already. Seeing what a small team of talented individuals can do with the UE5 engine is breath taking and while this IS just a vertical slice I cant help but hope for a true spiritual successor to Dark Messiah.

Bloodlines 2 (not even worth linking...)

And now for CoinDrop's Biggest Disappointment of the Year award. Vampire the Masquerade Bloodline 2 sweeps this category with it's impressive failure. Falling short of every possible mark in the worst ways the ONLY thing that this game has to hang it's hat on is it's slightly above average voice actors. Honestly this game had so much promise and the desires of an entire fandom for it to be great. Unfortunately, This is a game that needs to just step into the light of the sun and dissipate into ashes.

MegaBonk and the GOTY awards

MegaBonk was initially nominated for best breakout indie game when it's mysterious developer specifically asked to be removed. Why you might ask? Well, apparently this isn't their first game. However it is the first game that vedinad is credited for. So did they shoot themselves in the foot?
