The Finger Guns Podcast Ep.252 – Xbox’s No Good Very Bad Week
We’re back once again to talk all things video games and probably Taylor Swift in episode 252 of The Finger Guns Podcast. Join Rossko, Miles and Kat as they dredge through the week’s news which is primarily focused on the fallout of Microsoft huge studio closures from last week and what the hell came next.
First up, Xbox president Sarah Bond came out to try to defend the company’s decision to sack hundreds of employees through closing award winning studios and breaking down award winning companies so yeah, there’s that. Oh and Xbox announced, the day after closing Tango Gameworks (the one who made BAFTA-winning small game Hi-Fi Rush) that they want to focus on games which are small and award winning. You couldn’t make this up, we are truly bereft with Xbox right now. They’ve certainly fudged around and found out, indeed.
Oh, and there’s a third Jurassic Park Evolution on the way and Miles is, weirdly hyped? We find out more. A FLYING T-REX.
In Game of the Week Miles has been playing Dredge and the latest rhythm shooter Robobeat while Kat has stuck out Fallout Shelter for a second week running, whilst Rossko has been checking out Crow Country and the wonderful Animal Well.
In recommendations Miles talks up the latest Saw movie, Kat recommends the Natural History Museum (don’t get married there though, it’s pricey) and Rossko wants everyone check out the demo for the lovely little indie Fishbowl.
Oh, and don’t miss Kat’s Candy Crush Saga story. It’s one for the ages.
