They also talk about the report that Netflix is looking to get into video games. Is this a whole bunch of discussions or will Netflix try to develop something similar to Apple Arcade? Are they going to just do a bunch of games on licenses and properties they own?
The guys also discuss the games they are playing which vary from the big games like Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Returnal, and Resident Evil Village to the Scarlet Nexus demo and indie titles like Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield and Rain on Your Parade.
The main topic explores what Xbox could show off at their E3 2021 extravaganza. Does the information on Starfield’s release date hamper that a bit, will Halo Infinite get the big showcase, or does another title enter the fray and steal the limelight. Could any old Xbox franchise make a return? And so much more as we keep the hype going for E3 2021.
Other things discussed in the episode: The controversial new Zelda Amiibo, the release of Grand Theft Auto V on current-gen consoles, the potential for a 30th anniversary Sonic collection, and Overwatch dropping to 5 versus 5.
