Good Morning CoinDroppers

Today we're talking about an interesting new post apocalyptic survival horror game, some solid rumors about Rocksteady's next game, and Gothic Remake's new gameplay footage.

M.I.N.S.K

Minsk is a new indie horror survival game set in a post apocalyptic world. You take the roll of an engineer that rebuilt a construction robot to get needed supplies. The game play looks a bit like The Last of Us in that it's third person and a shooter. The two devs working on this game added an interesting twist that has us raising our eyebrow. Let us know your thoughts.

Batman Arkham Beyond?

A recent rumor, and a leak from a few years back that has been scrubbed from the web, suggests that not only is Rocksteady back to doing what they do best, but very well could be working on A Batman Beyond game set in the future of the Arkham universe. All I can say is god I hope so.

Gothic Remake

Gothic has recently revealed some gameplay footage and (at the time of writing this) has a playable demo available on the Steam Next Fest right now!. Maybe we'll play it and talk about it on the next episode.

Good Morning CoinDroppers!

We're back to your regularly scheduled hosts as Tim and Russ discuss the shockingly high quality gameplay of Game of Throne the Kingsroad and the latest State of Play from Sony that Tim also made a live reaction video for.

Game of Thrones the Kingsroad

Announced at the game awards last year, Game of Thrones the Kingsroad showed off some new footage and Tim and Russ discuss their concerns with the surprisingly high quality footage. Considering this game was announced as a mobile game first and only just recently confirmed to be releasing on PC too, we've got some serious concerns about how they plan to monetize the game.

Playstation State of Play

Sony put on a state of play and showed us a ton of new games as well as some footage of games we've known about. We're going to touch on just the ones that interest us and as quickly touch on the stuff we already knew about. For a full breakdown check out Tim's Live React video.

Good Morning CoinDroppers!

Today is a Mike and Tim episode, Looks like they got up to their normal shenanigans so I hope you enjoy the episode. I'm looking forward to listening to it myself.

EA CEO is a paste eater

For whatever reason, the CEO of EA thinks the reason Dragon Age The Veilguard failed was because it wasn't live service. Welp, neither is Kingdom Come Deliverance II and that game made its cost back in 24hrs. Once again it seems like the people who run these companies and straight up out of touch with their target market and consumers.

Next Battlefield, reminiscent of Bad Company 2

A recent clip of gameplay from the next Battlefield game reveals its set in a modern setting and shows of intensely destructible environments (maybe thanks to Havok engine? Discussed in Episode 84) and seems reminiscent of the great times had in Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Switch 2 Pricing Concerns

With the event around the corner we still have concerns about the price around the Switch 2. The original switch STILL hasn't seen a price drop so will it when the Switch 2 comes out or will the Switch 2 be priced above the current model? There's a lot to discuss and not enough information available yet. All I can hope, is that if it's $399.99 hopefully they bundle it with a game.

Good Morning CoinDroppers!

Today we've got a mix of news for you to include some struggles for Sony, the potential death rattle of Bioware, and some talk about Dune Awakening the survival game that might finally push the genre forward. But before we jump in, don't forget to head over to our Facebook page, give us a follow and vote for what game we play on the 22nd during our Community Interaction Stream.

Sony Woes

Sony hasn't had a great few weeks. Between the broken launch of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's AND Spider-Man 2's PC launch they're not in a great graces with the PC crowd. They also recently decided to remove the PSN requirement for PC players which doesn't make any sense to Tim or I. Sony also has a pirate issue on PC and in my opinion it may be self inflicted.

The Death Rattle of Bioware?

Bioware has been gutted in the wake of the total failure that was Dragon Age Veilguard. It seems like pretty much everyone who touched that game has been let go. While that sounds bad it might have a small glimmer of light. Reportedly, what's left of Bioware is all "laser focused" on the next Mass Effect and the team is comprised of a small number of veterans from the previous games. This sounds good but we'll have to wait and see what they show whenever that happens. In my opinion, don't hold your breath...

Dune Awakening

Dune awakening is shaping up to be the best version of the survival game genre. Funcom is dedicated to "Making the game fit Dune not Dune fit the game" and that statement alone makes it clear they aren't fucking around. Tim and I talk a bit about a recent article from PC gamer discussing the first 7 hours of gameplay. In addition to this we discuss the difficulty of being interested in a game and wanting to know more but not wanting to know more so you can go in blind and experience the game without expectations.

Good Morning CoinDroppers!

We're coming at you with another three man podcast today with Tim and Mike both joining me on the show. Get ready for some chaos! Today we're talking about some of the best news from Microsoft in recent memory, the return of a beloved physics engine that dominated the PS3 and Xbox 360 era, and analysts say new games should cost HOW MUCH?! All this and more so kick back and enjoy the show.

Xbox Developer Direct: Ninja Gaiden 4 & 2 Black Remaster

Xbox recently held a Developer Direct where they announced Ninja Gaiden 4 and a Remaster of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black that is available now! Xbox has announced a new approach to funding games by not requiring that they only release on Xbox. This is good news for the industry because it means more games which is always good and with Ninja Gaiden 4 in the works SOLEY because of Microsoft funding I'd say this is the best decision they've made in two generations of hardware.

The Return of the HAVOK Physics Engine

In the PS3 and Xbox 360 days HAVOK was the go to engine for a vast majority of games. It's real world destruction physics made games like Battlefield Bad Company 1 and 2 a possibility along with a laundry list of other games. While other engines have come and been able to achieve most of what HAVOK once could they've returned to show their newest tech demo of their amazing engine as a plugin for UE5. I'm stoked and cannot wait to see this amazing engine back at work in games in the future.

They want HOW MUCH for New Games?!

A recent report suggests that analysts think games are too cheap. Far to cheap and it's insane how much they feel new games would cost. Hear our conversation and our thoughts on the topic. If they have their way gaming will become a luxury only the wealthy could afford. (bit of hyperbole)

The Blood of Dawnwalker

Our second topic for much like our first is a brand new IP but this time from veterans of The Witcher. Rebel Wolves, the new studio behind this amazingly enticing Open world RPG cut their teeth in one of the most beloved RPGs of all time and I cannot wait to see more about Dawnwalker. Thank you for making Vamps awesome again!
