CORE 417: Industry Flux

CORE 413: Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn Called
Lots to discuss and none of it has to do with girls faces. Time to highlight BAFTA Awards Winners, the Fallout TV show's critical acclaim, and Microsoft/Blizzard's new deal with Netease, despite previous breakdowns. We hit on the absence of Dead Space 2 Remake and the reasons why, the pricey Ubisoft SW game, and Microsoft/Xbox's progress on their next console. Seems like that thing is full steam ahead. Listener emails and texts, including recommendations for Blood Bowl 3 and excitement over Slay the Spire 2's announcement. And more! (Dear Martha too!)

Customer Reviews
Best gaming show ever
That’s really all I have to say about it. Listen to CORE!
Hosts get a bit snobby.
Been listening to Scott’s work since early Instance episodes, but lately it seems to me there is a lot of games that, if you’d like to hear their opinion of, you’re more than likely to hear why they didn’t play it. Game can be !too popular! or has some controversy around it you will be treated to 30 minutes of explanation why they will not play it. Scott will quite often rediscover the same game 2 years later, forgetting that he has a show playing retro…
Best around
This has been my standard weekly listen for some time now. Hands down the best hosts around with the most in depth discussions on the topics at hand.
