  • Save Room Plays: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Demo Impressions
    Save Room Plays is back and taking a one-stop trip to Midgar. That's right, we got our hands on the demo for Final Fantasy 7 Remake and woo boy, were we taken aback by the combat, graphics, and dialogue. April 10th can't come soon enough.
    This week we're also celebrating 20 years of the Playstation 2 and diving hard into our backlog during this release season draught. We're popping platinums, mood gaming, and just playing every game we can get our sticky gamer hands on.

  • Episode 86: We're Quarantined (and Still Talking About Video Game News)
    Your favorite Save Room boys have followed Seattle's recommendation to self-quarantine because, as gamers, restricting ourselves to our homes for extended periods of time and living off of Pop-Tarts is just another Saturday.
    Otherwise, it's business as usual until the sky falls. On this episode, we discuss:
    - The Last of Us is getting an HBO series!
    - Does Kevin's throat tingle mean he's dying? (Yes)
    - Google has propped up a new Stadia studio!
    - There's a new Amnesia game coming out this year!
    - WB Games is a wand away from revealing their Harry Potter RPG!

  • Save Room Reviews: Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
    The year is 2020 and we've survived many terrible video games adaptations since the dawn of gaming. When news hit of a Sonic movie adaptation being in the works a few years back, the internet groaned over what would potentially be another needless video game movie, as well as a box office flop. Luckily for Sonic fans, we finally got a film adaptation of the blue blur that in the least is passable. If you weren't sold on checking it out--well, good news for you: your faithful Save Room Boys watched the movie so you didn't have to.
    The journey of this film is almost as tumultuous as Sonic's history with video games. When the initial design for the hedgehog's screen debut was revealed last year, the internet was horrified by what they considered to actually be the blue devil himself. But Fowler and team worked hard to deliver a redesign that both fans and the team were happy with. Their work and care paid off.
    While we don't get quite the testament to Sonic's lineage like we did with Spidey and 2018's Into the Spiderverse, we do get a treatment with just enough references and fun easter eggs for long-time fans. The movie is a fun, fast-dash of a time that will have kids laughing and fans mostly satisfied. With a cast of A-list celebrities we get what is probably the best we'll get for the franchise on the silver screen (that is until the inevitable sequel).
    So join us as we give our thoughts on the film and bear witness as Daniel makes Kevin suffer through talks of the games, his affinity for Soaps, and his long-standing love for the franchise.

  • Episode 83: Is Silent Hill Back from the Dead?
    In my restless dreams, I see that town... But in reality we haven't had a proper Silent Hill since 2012 (demos for cancelled Kojima games notwithstanding). Rumors suggest Konami is planning a big comeback for the series, but will Christophe Gans beat them to the punch with a new movie?(!)
    Plus:
    - Resident Evil 8 might have werewolves?
    - That Star Wars license is finally working out for EA!
    - The Nintendo Switch might've outsold the Xbox!
    - Google is excited to share more info about Stadia games in the same statement where it doesn't share more info about Stadia games!

  • Episode 82: Delay Season 2077
    Delay season has struck down 2020's most anticipated games. The causalities? Final Fantasy VII, Cyberpunk 2077, and Marvel's Avengers. But while a delayed game may eventually be good, developers have it bad now. Is the crunch they suffer worth it to deliver video game masterpieces? No. Why would you even ask that? Of course no.
    Also!
    - Sony is skipping E3 (Part II)
    - Horizon Zero Dawn is PC-bound
    - Let's just let bygones be Byleths
    - Left 4 Dead 3 is dead
