Sean is joined on this week's Video Games 2 the MAX by Andrew Orozco of the Duosense Podcast and geeknewsnow.net, to discuss Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Redfall, the fallout for Xbox and what it means for the future, and also PlayStation's future as well.
You can check out Andrew's podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2QXKfCJcRxzL5E6GdBDNlD and Apple Pods: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/duosense-podcast/id1581531371) as well as many other places too.
Redfall launched last week in a bad state. Still, unlike another game, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, where it was clearly just performance issues that mired the game, Redfall suffered from creative and gameplay issues that are intrinsic to its experience. Since its launch, the game's reception has spurred thoughts on Xbox and Microsoft's direction of the brand as a whole.
The guys discuss highlights of Phil Spencer's recent candid interview he did on the Kinda Funny Xcast and use that as a way to analyze what to expect from Xbox and if there was more that could have been done to avoid the blunder that happened with Redfall. Should we be worried about Starfield now? And does this have any effect on the Activision-Blizzard acquisition that's still very much hanging by a thread?
However, one cannot discuss Microsoft's Xbox without making a comparison to the "Blue Guys" over at PlayStation. There's little doubt that Sony has already won the "console war" but they also have quite a lot to do with how the industry moves forward. Some of that could be revealed at their next PlayStation showcase, which could be a few weeks away. What do the guys make of the rumors about Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake? What else could Sony have up their sleeve?
