Short Pause: "Boyce returns as the Short Pause Gaming Podcast hits Episode #50! Wait, we've done 50 episodes of this show?! The whole crew is reunited once again to talk the latest and greatest in the world of gaming. The topics this week include:
- PS2 Emulation on PS4 - The Star Wars digital voucher included in the Darth Vader PS4 bundle sent the internet into a tizzy as it was revealed the classic PS2 titles included are running on the PlayStation 4 with PlayStation 2 emulation. With enhanced graphics and trophies being added, is PS2 emulation a viable gaming option on the PS4?
- Another Big Title is Delayed - Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the latest AAA title to get bit by the delay bug. With all of the recent delays to some of gaming's biggest titles, why do publishers keep announcing seemingly unreasonable release dates?
-A Naughty Dog Shocker - Much to the disbelief of all within earshot, Uncharted 4 doesn't mark the end of Naughty Dog's work this console generation. One of gaming's most talented developers has at least one more title in the pipeline. Film at 11 this is not.
- And much more!
"Rainbow Six Siege Major Manchester event was a showcase of Siege play and underdog spirit - with a few boos, some boozy chanting and a sweaty atmosphere."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
The new monthly paid subscription for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege has sparked an outrage among the game's community.
Paid subs are coming, and every company is investing heavily in them. From Microtransactions to this type of stuff, the community has been vocal about the issues surrounding ripping customers off, but we are being let down by influencers and journalists in trying to fight off these abhorrent business practices. Influencers and journalists don't say enough about how bad this stuff is. Meanwhile th soft buyers in the general public are getting more outraged by the day and whales are being exploited to pay too much of their own money for pointless crap.
A paid sub is partly why I think Xbox can throw Black Ops 6 on to Gamepass day-and-date and still think of it as "good business."
So PC gaming kills subscriptions model, now they want to bring it back along with season passes, MT, dlc and whatever else they can think of. 🙄
What do you mean PC gaming kills subscriptions? PC gaming is what started gaming subscriptions in the first place.
Rainbow Six Siege Year 9 Season 2 Operation New Blood sees the Recruit rework, the introduction of R6 Membership and more.
Everyone I've spoken too seems to really enjoy Star Wars: Battlefront, thanks to DICE's masterful use of the Star Wars properties. I still wish it has a campaign; I can only imagine how awesome it would've been considering the games overall presentation. Heres hoping Amy Hennig's penned Star Wars game delivers the goods!
As cool as the PS2 emulation thing sounds, I can't help but to feel I still won't be touching any PS2 games these days lol.
I've had a ton of fun with Battlefront so far. There's no denying that it's fun to play around in this Star Wars sandbox with a group of friends.
