Chris Baker of Zen Studios joins this episode of the show along with Grant “Stemage” Henry!
We start the show with Chris and Grant joining to chat about the upcoming PlayStation VR title Out of Ammo from Zen Studios & RocketWerkz! We chat about the game, how it compares to other VR shooters, the Castlestorm VR preorder bonus, and tons more. Plus plenty of discussion on Pinball FX3, upcoming projects that can’t be unveiled yet, and how Zen’s VP of Publishing, Mel Kirk, is apparently haunting the show while he has a cold. It’s Zen, so it’s guaranteed crazy!
After Chris and Grant head out, Cole Martin tags in to cover the news of the week! We cover recent Xbox Backward Compatibility additions (including Split/Second), February’s Games with Gold lineup (again including Split/Second), and the bombshell that all future first party Xbox exclusives will launch directly to Xbox Game Pass! Plus EA & Bioware news, Yuji Naka joining Square Enix, an Artifex Mundi giveaway, and a batch of reviews!
StarDrone VR from Beatshapers brings the arcade mix of pinball, breakout, and physics insanity to PSVR. Cole checks out The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human, an underwater action adventuer from YCJY & Digerati Distribution. DarkMika writes in reviews of hand drawn RPG Legrand Legacy from SEMISOFT & Another Indie as well as mysterious hidden objects adventure Noir Chronicles: City of Crime from Brave Giant & Artifex Mundi. Finally, George “norg” Nowik checks out the Switch release of first person puzzler ChromaGun from Pixel Maniacs!
We end the show with three tracks from Stemage’s Narrowband EP since he was on the show and even if not I would just make up reasons to play more Stemage at this point.
Stemage – Astronaut
Stemage – Barossa
Stemage – Marigold
