LAST WORD RADIO

Originally Recorded on 06/15/22. Sorry for taking a little too long to get this edited and out.

 

On this episode, Sean, Marc, and Daniel give their thoughts both positive and negative on the Summer Games Fest Opening, Capcom Showcase, and Xbox + Bethesda Showcase, (and Extended too).

 

This includes looking at each showcase in general, the big games like Resident Evil 4 Remake, Redfall, Starfield, Last of Us Remake, and a lot more.  Sean also has thoughts on some standout games from the smaller indie showcases too. 

 

They also discuss some of the games they are looking forward to for the rest of the year as well.

What's up, Internet? On the latest episode of Last Word SC Radio, Rachael Kriger is joined by Harvey Cruz and Jamie Rooke to talk all things soccer. The trio discusses the recent U.S. Open Cup matches, including a chaotic New York Red Bulls victory and a cup-set for Sacramento Republic.

Then, they take a look at hot and cold MLS teams. Rachael talks about Real Salt Lake, while the guys give kudos to the teams they cover: Red Bulls and the Revolution. 

Finally, for last words, the trio talks about the recent FIFA World Cup rule to allow 26 players on each roster, bumping it up from 23. They discuss what this means for the U.S. men's national team and Jamie discusses his native country's team, England.

On this episode, Daniel has played quite a bit of Diablo Immortal. He discusses the game itself, and how Diablo Immortal's Pay to Win strategy is a total detriment to gaining good vibes with gamers and it actually makes Sean and Marc not want to play it at all. Will this prove to be a winner for Blizzard? And could any of this bleed into Diablo IV as well?

Marc also laments Jeff Gertsmann leaving Giant Bomb, his legacy in gaming, and what he could do next. (Turns out he's doing his own thing including a Solo podcast called the Jeff Gertsmann Show.)

They also go through the highlights of the most recent PlayStation State of Play which featured the surprise of Final Fantasy XVI and even included a release window of Summer 2023. The Resident Evil 4 Remake also got show time too. Could this be the best State of Play ever?

Also on this show: The latest Pokemon Scarlet & Violet trailer, the SEGA Mega Drive 2 announcement, Street Fighter VI leaks, and thoughts on the first three episodes of Star Wars Kenobi as well.

On this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX, Sean, Marc, and Daniel discuss playing V Rising, Warcraft 3 Reforged supposed roadmap and the overall picture of Blizzard heading into the release of Diablo Immortal.

PlayStation also seems to be on this big turn to changing how many think of them. Moving away from only being known as a place for the big tent pole AAA games and doing more in the PC, VR, and games as service spaces. Will this wind up as a major win for Sony?

Other things discussed on the show: The reveal of the Jedi Fallen Order sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The Marvel MMO that never was. Horizon Zero Dawn getting a Netflix show, and more.

On this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX, Sean, Marc, and Daniel discuss whether the sentiment that Xbox Game Pass is not living up to its billing of delivering on the AAA titles is truly warranted. Do gamers just need to be playing more indies? Or do gamers have a point? Is it time to start unsubscribing from the service?

There's also discussion on how EA's deal to merge with NBC Universal falling through is a major statement about where the state of AAA gaming is at? And should we worry for other big publishers like Ubisoft and Square-Enix as well?

Also on the episode: Would the Spider-Man games be as big a deal if they were an Xbox exclusive? Norman Reedus sort of confirming the existence of Death Stranding 2. Thoughts on the HALO TV Show and more.
