E3 is cancelled. But its spirit has left its body, and it now surrounds us at all times. We cannot escape it. We will never escape the endless E3. This has left us with a mess of announcements, events, and game trailers that are going to drop at irregular intervals throughout the summer.

E3 is cancelled. But its spirit has left its body, and it now surrounds us at all times. We cannot escape it. We will never escape the endless E3.

Oh, and family or something. On this week's GamesBeat Decides podcast, we talk about all of that and killing Sean Bean. On this...
On this episode, co-host (and GamesBeat reviews editor) Mike Minotti talks about how much he is enjoying Pokémon -- Let's Go. Fellow co-host (and PC gaming editor) Jeffrey Grubb tries to avoid the call of Pikachu because $60 is a lot of money. The crew also checks in on Overwatch.

In the news, Mike and Jeff break down the most recent NPD Group report for the gaming industry. Turns out that releasing a Call of Duty and Red Dead in October could lead to a lot of spending. And the GamesBeat team is even more skeptical than ever that PlayStation 5 is coming soon. 

I hope you will join us for an enjoyable Turkey Day and black Friday! 

Here’s everything we talk about:

Mike: 

Pokémon -- Let's Go

Jeff:

The Decides crew also talk about Tetris Effect, Hitman, and not playing Red Dead Redemption 2. In addition, Jeff -- GamesBeat's PC gaming editor -- has actually seen ray tracing working in a game. He paired Battlefield V with the $1,200 RTX 2080 Ti and the latest version of Windows 10. That combination enabled him to try out the latest lighting technology. The result? Some really good looking puddles. That's right. It's 2018, and we're talking about puddles in a video game again.

PC gaming editor Jeffrey Grubb joins Mike to talk about BOBO (Call of Duty: Black Ops Black Out), which still isn't doing it for him. Mike is also finally playing 2016's Hitman, and he's mad that Jeff didn't tell him how great it is. It's a shame that we don't hours of audio footage -- like a podcast, for example -- where Jeff repeatedly told him to play it immediately for two years. 

In the news, Mike and Jeff talk about Nintendo remixing its NES classics. They also wonder if a Zelda randomizer or Super Wario Bros. 3 could come to Switch next. The crew also spends some time exasperated at people who think we're getting new consoles in 2019.

As part of the discussion of The Game Awards, the crew took some time to talk about Hideo Kojima's eternally upcoming PS4 (PS5?) exclusive Death Stranding.

But outside of trying to navigate the mind of Kojima, the GamesBeat Decides crew also took some time to discuss A Way Out developer Josef Fares shouting "fuck the Oscars" on stage during The Game Awards and what is happening over on crowdfunding platform Patreon.

Origins is the first Assassin's Creed since 2015. Ubisoft took 2016 off after sales for the series started to dip. GamesBeat reporter Stephanie Chan is on the case, and she has found that the game is beautiful and vast, but she has some reservations. In particular, she has noticed a conflict between the open world and the narrative. Expect a full review of that soon. 

We also get into the news about allegations against NeoGAF's owner and what that means for the discussion about sexual assault in gaming. Finally, we end the episode with a breakdown of the September NPD report and Destiny 2's dominating sales.

That revelation is shocking on its own, but EA made it even more startling with a candid blog that explains why it made this choice. Put simply: loot boxes. EA only wants to invest its money in games-as-a-service (GaaS), and Visceral's Star Wars was a single-player linear game. It turns out that it's difficult to sell loot boxes in something like that, so EA has found it difficult to justify its budget.

In addition to EA pulling the Band-aid off of one of its multiple Star Wars projects, we talk about some other news involving loot boxes. For example, is Hearthstone too expensive and why doesn't the ESRB game-rating organization think this is gambling?

In the second half, we talk about Awesome Games Done Quick because speedrunning is pure and good.

On top of that, Mike and Jeff discuss some recent releases they've spent some time with, which include the following:

That's because hosts Jeffrey Grubb and Mike Minotti pulled an emergency bonus session to talk about the...
That revelation is shocking on its own, but EA made it even more startling with a candid blog that explains why it made this choice. Put simply: loot boxes. EA only wants to invest its money in games-as-a-service (GaaS), and Visceral's Star Wars was a single-player linear game. It turns out that it's difficult to sell loot boxes in something like that, so EA has found it difficult to justify its budget.

In addition to EA pulling the Band-aid off of one of its multiple Star Wars projects, we talk about some other news involving loot boxes. For example, is Hearthstone too expensive and why doesn't the ESRB game-rating organization think this is gambling?

In the second half, we talk about Awesome Games Done Quick because speedrunning is pure and good.

On top of that, Mike and Jeff discuss some recent releases they've spent some time with, which include the following:

Cuphead
Divinity: Original Sin II
Golf Story
South Park: The Fractured But Whole]]>6863truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/56-vice-president-helicopter--51508792
Never Stop Sneakin' is a new stealth action game from Dust: An Elysian Tail developer Humble Hearts, and Jeff and co-host Mike Minotti talk about it on this week's episode along with the news and a ton of games. Let me ask you something: Do you love raging about loot boxes on the internet? Well, then this is one of the best weeks of the year for you with the microtransaction trifecta of Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Forza Motorsport 7, and Star Wars: Battlefront II. All those games are driving players mad by disrupting progression or offering pay-to-win alternatives in competitive multiplayer. 

Additionally, we talk about the following games:

Star Wars: Battlefront II
Golf Story
FIFA 18
A Hat In Time
Heat Signature
Super Metroid
Super Mario RPG]]>5B7D3RMA-YKTKE29Tue, 10 Oct 2017 07:20:54 +0000Jeff Grubb's Game MessThe evil White House in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid parody game Never Stop Sneakin' includes Health and Human Services secretary Dr. Acula (who is probably a vampire) and Vice President Helicopter (who is a helicopter), and that nearly kills host...

We also talk about the news from the last week. Bethesda wants to get close with Nintendo and its fans. Game developers admit they're afraid to speak out due to "toxic" gamer culture. Xbox boss Phil Spencer gets a promotion. And w easo talk about Monster Hunter: World and Nier: Automata.

In the second segment, Mike and Jeff spend a lot of time trying to determine what the "core" Mario games are. This is a pointless exercise that we take far too seriously. You should join us and share your list -- but only if you agree with our opinions.

Games discussed this week:

Lawbreakers has only a couple hundred people playing at any one time, and Agents of Mayhem was the No. 16 best-selling game in the United States during its debut month of August, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. Lawbreakers and Agents are the latest releases from Cliff Bleszinski and Saints Row team Volition, respectively. These are important creators who have made hits before, but their latest projects are commercial flops. What makes this even more fascinating is that neither game is critically reviled. Few people hate Agents of Mayhem or Lawbreakers -- it's just that no one is playing them. 

You can get that discussion in the second half of our episode. In the first segment, we talk about everything else. Here's the full list of discussed games:

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Talisman: Digital Edition
Hearthstone
Fortnite: Battlegrounds

As part of the fallout from PewDiePie discussion, the podcast tries to figure out what this means for the future of copyright, DMCA law, and Fair Use protections on YouTube. On top of that, Mike and Jeff get into some other headlines like South Park's difficulty slider giving your character darker skin, Battlegrounds hitting 1 million concurrent players, and Games Done Quick raising $227,000 for Hurricane Harvey relief. The crew also dives deeper into Metroid: Samus Returns, Mario + Rabbids, and Super Mario 64 Online.

We awoke this ancient legion of frustrated gamers with a 26-minute demo of Dean playing the upcoming Xbox One and PC platformer Cuphead. In the video, Dean struggles with the tutorial and fails to pass the first stage. To paraphrase one YouTube comments, it's like watching an artificial intelligence slowly figure out how to run and jump at the same time. It's difficult to watch, and that made us at GamesBeat laugh. Dean is no professional esports athlete, and he's a good sport about being made into the butt of a joke. So we uploaded the video. But many viewers didn't see the humor. Instead, a lot of people are using this video as evidence that people like Dean don't have the basic skills required to adequately assess games. And that is our big topic in the first segment of the podcast this week.

In addition to our Dean drama, we also dive into the news and some of the games we've spent some time with.

Games discussed include:

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
Absolver
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Metroid: Samus Returns
Knack 2
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

The Xbox One X is launching November 7 for $500, and Microsoft is focusing on what the upgraded console will do for your current library. The company doesn't have a choice when it comes to that pitch because it is only publishing 4 games in all of 2017. Those include Halo Wars 2, Forza Motorsport 7, Super Lucky's Tale, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for Xbox One. We explain some of the reasons why Microsoft has retreated from making its own games, and we talk about why it is probably still important to have a strong first-party lineup.

Additionally, we talk about the news and how Sonic the Hedgehog was never good regardless of Minotti's confusion.

This week, VentureBeat social editor Anthony Agnello and VentureBeat managing editor Jason Wilson join host Jeffrey Grubb on the GamesBeat Decides podcast to talk about the Nazi-killing escapism of Wolfenstein and Bionic Commando. The group also touch on fighting against World War II-era Germans in online games like World of Warships as well as the depiction of the KKK in Mafia III. That leads into whether we should have high hopes that Ubisoft will confidently tackle the racial implications of American white supremacy with the cult in its upcoming Far Cry 5 shooter.
