The Jeff Gerstmann Show - A Podcast About Video Games

Let’s talk about the dark and wonderful world of Clickolding. Oh, also the darker and also wonderful world of Warframe, NES World Championships, and the new release of SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom. In the news, someone at Capcom says “SNK” out loud, digital games dominate sales, the FTC talks mess about these Game Pass changes, Halo (the TV show) gets canned, and NetherRealm lays off its mobile team.

Xbox raises prices and shuffles up their subscription offering in a crummy way while saying it’ll lead to a better service in the future. Also: thoughts on the Concord beta, the future of Driver, PlayStation’s list for ChinaJoy, WWE Superstars in Call of Duty, and more Banjo-Kazooie talk than you get most weeks. Subscribe now!

If Nexon’s latest free-to-play shooter sticks around for a year or more, maybe I’ll remember the name of it. Maybe not. Let’s cover that, Zenless Zone Zero, A PS2 Game Called Rolling, as well as the news! PlayStation at TGS! The next Like A Dragon game will… surprise us? All that and more.

Capcom makes more zombie games, Nintendo intends to make more Switch 2s, and Xbox wants to make more cloud users. More Crazy Taxi reboot details! Also a discussion of Street Uni X, NeoSprint, Cosmic Smash VRS, FragPunk, that WCW documentary that Vice just ran, and more!

Also: Atari 50 gets more games, Gamescom plans revealed, Matt Booty talks Tango, Dr. Disrespect says “no crimes were committed,” and we get to that Dipset email that was mentioned last week.
