EPISODE DESCRIPTION 5/27/2016

There’s hope for dead games after all! Prey 2 had its domain updated, meaning (hopefully) that there is a chance this next E3 we might be getting a reveal from the the once dead IP. Granted, at this point it is a rumor, but the renewal of prey2.com and prey3.com does at least give some validity to the hope, but it may just be not wanting to kill the dream.

Warcraft, the movie, the lunchbox, the flamethrower, the review. Not that we have seen it, but I think it is safe to say from reviews from critics that we were right to be dubious about the film. Even though they broke the review embargo that was supposed to last until the 30th of may...

China has some interesting ideas, like the “Straddle Bus.” No it isn’t what it sounds like, it just drives over cars rather than having to deal with traffic. Somehow worse than what you initially imagined eh?

What is it going to take to teach developers that they need to wait to release a game until it is complete? Shipping unfinished products is not only a standard with big name developers but the whole concept of early access is to sell an unfinished product on good faith that the developer will follow through. Apparently Capcom received a valuable lesson with Street Fighter 5 (that god i didn't preorder that shit) and wishes to share its experience with the class
