Is Hi-Fi Rush a Dark Horse GOTY Contender?


Listen Later

Matt and Bobby start the show by discussing Matt's birthday and the addition to his Naruto, Funko Pop, and Controller Collection.   The Boys transition topics to Faze Clan stock. At the time of recording FAZE is currently trading at 75 cents and is in danger of getting delisted from the stock exchange. What was once a huge win for the video game industry seems like a huge mistake.   Matt and Bobby discuss The Last of Us Tv show and what Matt has been playing (hint it was 20 hours of Seikro... maybe)  The Q2 earnings report comes out for Microsoft, and the report is extremely lack luster with, 1st and 3rd party sales, hardware sales, and many other metrics dipping from previous quarters. The only saving grace is that Gamepass subs are up, but how much of a double edge sword has Gamepass become?  Xbox continues to be in the news cycle with a "you either loved it or hated it" Developer Direct. We see release dates for title like Minecraft Legends, Redfall, an ESO expansion, and the shadow drop of Hi-Fi Rush.   Xbox subpoena's Sony to stand before the courts as their FTC lawsuit date begins to near. In a move that was extremely expected what will come out of both parties laying everything on the table for the soul of Call of Duty.   The Xbox series X becomes the first console to reduce it's carbon foot print in an extremely surprising and potentially unwanted move by Microsoft  Questions from you  #microsoft #minecraft #hifirush #redfall #xbox #developerdirect #sony #ps5 #faze #fazeclan #sustainability #tlou2 #tlou #hbomax #fireemblem #fireemblemengage
