Short Pause: "Welcome to the Short Pause Experience Part Deux! In our second annual post-PlayStation Experience podcast, Ben and Brent breakdown everything that happened this past week during both the Game Awards and the PlayStation Experience Keynote. It was an exciting week for gamers everywhere, and the fellas have a lot to say about it! This weeks topics include:
- The Future of the Game Awards - As the Game Awards continue to evolve, are Geoff Keighley and company on the right track? Is this becoming the kind of respectable award show the industry deserves?
- In-Depth with Sony's 2015 PlayStation Experience Keynote - Sony kicked off this year's PlayStation Experience with style with an exciting keynote chock-full of gaming goodness and reveals.
- PlayStation VR has Everyone Talking - Some are excited for VR, and some aren't. Brent and Ben discuss why VR is something that needs to be experienced before formulating an opinion.
VR veteran Survios is currently working on Alien: Rogue Incursion, so we take a look back at its history of VR works.
The tiny green slasher villain returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and is as frightening as ever.
The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.
Cloudhead Games has announced the VOIDSLAYER update for Pistol Whip, adding three new scenes in June for all supported platforms.
Why would anyone judge VR based on a videos that can't convey the experience the way it's meant when you strap on the headset? I saw a ton of people on twitter, in comment sections, and during the chat of those live streams that were writing off VR because of a tech demo that went sour, yet there are tons of impression pieces out there that rave about some of the demos (The Kitchen, Heist, etc) they've played personally. There's just no way to show of VR properly to win over gamers other than to let them try it out for themselves. There's a ton of potential here, hopefully it can be fully realized.
Honestly, for me, I thought Geoff Keighley nuking Konami was the highlight of The Game Awards. Can Konami just go bankrupt now and dissolve into nothing now? Their petty antics and piss-poor treatment of employees should conjure up just enough bad karma for them to completely collapse.
