The Finger Guns Podcast Ep. 251 – Xbox Close Tango Gameworks
The Finger Guns Podcast returns after a week off, with the full team getting into the week’s news and well, there’s a fair amount of it this week. First up, a few hours before we recorded Microsoft announced that they have closed Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks and Redfall’s Arkane Austin. We talk about this shocking reveal and what the bloody hell is going on with Xbox right now and what – if anything – they have planned for the future.
On the other side of the war PlayStation have another rough week, culminating in a rather surprising u-turn after the huge backlash of announcing that Helldivers II Steam players will need to have a PSN account in order to keep playing. Sony have announced this will no longer be the case, much to the celebration of gamers around the world. At least 100,000 of them, anyway.
We also get into what we’d like to see from Resident Evil 9 and if we really need a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster after the original game is being taken down from PS Plus this month.
In Game of the Week Josh has been checking out Another Crabs’ Treasure, Kat has been checking out the glory of Fallout Shelter thanks to the TV show whilst Miles has nerded out in King Arthur Legion IX. Rossko has been checking out Fallout 4, Fallout New Vegas (for the first time ever?!) and a glorious little footy RPG called Bang Average Football.
In recommendations Kat talks Queenpins, the Kristen Bell fronted film which is now on Netflix, Miles talks about Hexguardian and Harvest Hunt, a roguelike horror game from the glorious folk at Neonhive. Josh talks about the glorious new film from Alexander Payne, The Holdovers whilst Rossko recommends not watching Strays. Yikes.
