LAST WORD RADIO

Well, it is finally done. Microsoft has completed the 68.7 Billion dollar purchase of Activision-Blizzard King, trailers exist, statements have been made, and we now even know that ABK CEO Bobby Kotick is only sticking around until the end of 2023 as well. So what's next? Randy Isbelle once again joins Sean to discuss that very thing, what they'd like to see occur with some game franchises from the ABK library, could Guitar Hero flourish again under Microsoft? And will we see a new IP under their banner too? Do we think they could still make more purchases?

This episode of Video Games 2 the MAX is well, a lot, specifically for Microsoft as someone accidentally uploaded documents from their trial against the FTC, and then the court uploaded them to their website, which made a large amount of information regarding mid-gen consoles, the next Xbox console, a new controller, a list of upcoming Bethesda games, and more available to the public. The guys go through the major points of this, some comments by Phil Spencer, and other things from it too.

Also, Nintendo and Sony both wanted to get ahead of the hoopla from the Tokyo Game Show and make their own news by releasing a Nintendo Direct and PlayStation State of Play on the same day, within hours of each other. There's plenty to discuss from those two events including Sean going gaga over the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth trailer, another Mario RPG showing up on Switch, and well, a lot more! Also, we do touch on the new gameplay trailer for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, (we do not discuss the Story Trailer because it has major spoilers.)

There are also updates on the Unity fiasco, where they are still trying to make clarifications on their announcement, Square-Enix wants to make more of their franchises into AAA games, some unfortunate layoffs and closures, and more!
