On this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison discuss a variety of things on the gaming and entertainment front.
The podcast begins with Marc giving more thoughts on both Assassin’s Creed Origins and Call of Duty WWII now that he’s finished both games. He talks some of the end game things in AC Origins. While with COD WWII he talks Nazi Zombies, the objectives and how unauthentic the game is about the war it’s covering. The guys also discuss the sales doubling for both games, over their predecessors.
After that, they get into the news. EA buys Respawn, and subsequently announces Titanfall 3. Is there a possibility they wind up like Visceral Games in five years? Will a Titanfall 3 succeed? And they talk the Respawn Star Wars game too.
There’s also sad news about layoffs at Telltale. But really get them to improve the engine? And could it effect any of their unreleased titles? Sean talks the news from the Xenoblade 2 direct and how excited he is for the game.
Plus, what do they make about the announcement from Take-Two about “all their games having microtransactions.” Not to mention, they talk all the rumors about Disney wanting to buy FOX TV and film properties. The announcement of a new Star Wars trilogy and live action TV show too.
The guys end things discussing the new releases coming out next week.
