Weekend Confirmed Episode 6
by Garnett Lee, Apr 30, 2010 12:00pm PDTHalo: Reach beta access arrived just in time for us to get a few first impressions and that's just the beginning of this power-packed show. Alan Wake is also in the house. Starcraft 2 single-player and Super Street Fighter 4 also make their way into Whatcha Been Playin? Successful negotiations bring Billy back to hang with Garnett, Brian, and Jeff and they square off on everything from what happened to good car-combat games to which real-world professions would make good games and more. Bungie's new deal with Activision leads the Front Page news to top the show off in prime form.

That game about being a game developer/publisher has kinda already been made. Look up some video clips and reviews of Segagaga. It was a dreamcast game that was only released in japan but you play as a character that's in charge of making sega the #1 gaming company. It was apparently pretty funny and cracked alot of jokes about the game industry.

If Game Room was the ideal platform to play these games on then I suppose I could get over paying again for 30 year old games. As it stands, it's way more enjoyable to play these games on my handmade stand-up cabinet. I built this thing two years ago, and I'm not going to set it on fire, and start playing with a controller now, just because Game Room exists.
Should I feel bad or unethical about this? Honestly?
Thanks for answering my question about sequels being handled by different studios. Interesting to hear Brian and Billy think Respawn and Bungie should stick to shooters. I agree with Jeff; I think Bungie would be brilliant at any action title.
I'd like to see Naughty Dog bring their immense talent for creating interesting characters to a universe akin to Fable or or even Fallout.
Another great episode Garnett. Can't wait to listen to next week's show with Man-God himself.
