Sacred Games Daily: A Video Game News Podcast Sacred Icon

In what seems to be an absolute onslaught of bad news for Xbox, they add more fuel to the fire by suddenly shuttering Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, Roundhouse Studios, and Alpha Dog Studios! To discuss this, Bryan and Joe are joined by the very jovial Joshy to give his nuanced take on the matter.

Escape From Tarkov developer, Battlestate Games charges extra for supposed "Pay 2 Win" features causing uproar within the community, Helldivers 2 sells big, VR title: Batman Arkham Shadow is teased, Amazon's Fallout sets record streaming numbers for the service, and with Starfield's latest update QOL update, is it time to return to our life amongst the stars?

Bethesda has been one of the most revered gaming studios of our lives, but they've seen better days. The Fallout show reminds us of those times and makes us want to root for their future. Do they have it in them?

We've got an absolute whopper for you today dedicated solely to one news story; Xbox leads the way on the PlayStation storefront with various games such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare II (2022) and Sea of Thieves topping the sales charts.

This leads us to question: what are Xbox's current and future plans in this new era and whether we, as gamers, need to try a little harder to gain perspective when assessing what we truly value in our oh-so-prestigious hobby. All of this and more on today's episode!

A rather upsetting news episode for Bryan and Joe today as industry insider and journalist, Jeff Grubb reported EA Motive - the developers behind the 2023 Dead Space Remake - have scrapped or shelved the sequel which was in its concept phase.

But with every cloud, there's a silver lining; Ubisoft reveals new details for their exciting upcoming blaster-abundant adventure, Star Wars Outlaws, and Amazon's Fallout TV show gets rave out-the-door reviews making your hosts contemplate giving this video game adaptation a try.

Between the news of the KOTOR Remake not quite being dead in the water as we once thought and the upcoming Silent Hill 2 Remake supposedly to feature heavily in Sony's May event showcase, Bryan and Joe take this episode to question the quality of where the industry sits with remakes as well as whether the aforementioned two will be true heavy hitters going forward.
