It's another week in video games, which means another episode of Video Games 2 the MAX.
Well, the inevitable has occurred, pretty much as soon as we posted last week's show, SEGA, and Tencent also announced they were not going to E3 2023 and it didn't take long for organizers Reed Pop to release a statement definitively canceling the gaming industry event for this year. Can we officially call E3 Dead? Is there really a place for an event like E3 anymore in modern gaming? And what is lost without its presence?
Also, Legendary has acquired the TV show and Film rights to the Street Fighter franchise. Could they take a stab at another live-action film? And what would it need to actually be good? Marc gives some thoughts.
Marc has played a lot more of Resident Evil 4 Remake and he gives some thoughts on how it is better than the original, what changes exist, and they also discuss what comes next for the series too.
Plus, Japan approved the Activision-Blizzard merger with Xbox, although now Activision-Blizzard is being sued by the FTC, this time for its unjust E-Sports practices, the PS5 breaks sales records, while the PSVR2 does not. There's a free Sonic Murder Mystery game on Steam, the big problem with ARK, and More!!!
In a rare off-topic segment, Sean and Marc also discuss the WWE-UFC Merger under Endeavor and what it could mean going forward too.
