Episode 420: To be Phranque...

God of War Returns, and Wolverine is set for September. But so is every other game apparently. So while we all wait for GTA VI, we can now also wait even longer for Fable. Steam may have been hiding in plain sight as a villain all along, we now look to Lord Gaben for guidance. Spider-Noir is more Groucho than Cagney, but it might work in its favor. And Call of Duty is bringing us to East Asia.

Its our 400th episode! We might be recording a day early but that doesn't mean the news stops. Apparently the Doomsday trailers are a story, not a cohesive one though. Jackass is returning to theaters, but at what cost? GameStop is closing stores, are you surprised? Plus reactions to the Golden Globes, and more!

Do we all really want George's Vision? Or are we just saying that because its cool now? Is an Elden Ring movie coming? Will Fable release in 2026? I'm not really sure, but we do know the Wonder Woman game is no longer happening. With 007's future now in flux, Harry Potter's is more certain. The MCU changes some dates, and the DCU wipes one of the slate.

The summer of gaming 2024 is here! We got summer games fest, the Xbox Showcase, Sony State of Play(last week), and the Ubisoft Forward! We have news from all of it! And did you expect a Perfect Dark gameplay reveal? Cause I didn't. So many games are coming to gamepass, and so many games are staying on Xbox, except DOOM but thats ok, its a Mad World. Also more hungers games is coming, both on the page and on the screen, Netflix is expaning its Nickelodeon world, and its Zack Snyder world, meanwhile Max is growing Westeros and Middle Earth. WB also seems to doubling down on Anime. Plus is Marvels Blade in trouble again? Plus Alamo Drafthouse is saved by Sony.

E3 might be cancelled, but what happened over the last few days sure feels like E3. We had an Xbox Games Showcase, Ubisoft Forward, Summer Games Fest, Capcom Showcase, and and whole lot more. And boy, how about that Starfield Direct, that is the first time I've been excited for a Bethesda game. Also the Writers strike claims new victims, unsurprisingly, Netflix gets new subscribers, and stick around for a spoiler filled review of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
