The biggest news story this week is the controversy surrounding Koei Tecmo’s decision to not release Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 in the West due to the backlash the game would get. Since that’s the case, we decided to make this our featured topic. Does Koei Tecmo have a point when it comes to the reception it will receive in the West, or is this a cover they’re using to gain media attention?

Our second main topic is about the second year anniversaries of the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. We break down how each system has fared since their respective launches, and what their futures are looking like.

We bring back Pop Culture news this week to discuss the recently released trailer for Captain America: Civil War. We give our opinions on the trailer itself and discuss what we expect and hope to see in the film and talk about how the film will shape the Marvel Cinematic Universe moving forward.

This episode features: Tony Polanco (host), Emilio Lopez, Brian Munjoma, Chris Sealy, and Michael A.

Tonight’s featured topic is about how Bethesda has blacklisted Kotaku and how Ubisoft has ostracized them. The two publishers have taken these actions due to Kotaku leaking stories on Fallout 4 and Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. Who is in the wrong here: game journalists who leak information they’re not supposed to, or publishers who create these sort of situations by withholding information?

Other topics discussed:

*Rooster Teeth makes fun of Gerstman for giving Fallout 4 a low score

*Forza 6 has microtransactions despite devs saying the game would never have them

*Does the PS4 have a PS2 emulator?

*Valkyria Chronicles returns with an HD remaster and sequel

This episode features: Tony Polanco (host), Emilio Lopez, Chris Sealy, Brian Munjoma, and special guests, Alex Nuss and Michael A.
