  • E124: Summer Showcases: Xbox, Starfield, Ubisoft, Capcom
    Whaaat? A new episode already a week after the previous one? Is this old Norderlanders? Hey, don't stress it, its Summer Gaming showcases season, and there is a lot to talk about. So with pleasure we'll bring you a new episode. 
    Join us when we react to the rest of the biggest showcases. Xbox Showcase, do they bring enough to make Xbox stand by itself? Or are they being to dependent on Starfield? Well that showcase was pretty good and Starfield is shaping up to be something special. Ubisoft seems to play it safe, with less games, and games that are more back to basics. They do have some potential bangers from their studio Massive, who is bringing two Disney games. Capcom was pretty mid, just showing what we already know. But Dragons Dogma 2 is looking great.

    And don't forget, there are still alot of cool and interesting games that are coming in June, so we'll help you do not miss anything.
