The entire X-Ray team crowds onto the couch for a multiplayer gaming session! Our 2024 video game retrospective starts off with reactions to the Game Awards, including the Arcane vs. Fallout debate. Then we lose our minds over all the trailers, from what has us most excited for Naughty Dog’s newest game, Intergalactic: the Heretic Project, to what concerns Jason has about the surprise FromSoft game, Elden Ring Nightreign. Plus Witcher 4, Borderlands 4, Split Fiction, and Turok???? 

The team explores the Live Service gaming landscape with the launch of Marvel Rivals, the continued success of Fortnite, and the fall of Destiny (and Concord RIP). Plus stories of the big budget games that pulled people back into gaming, the indie games that blew us away (and prompted some legal actions), and the recently released games that are consuming our end of year game time (happy holidays from Path of Exile 2’s massive skill tree!).
