Ep 149 Dorkside Debrief: Week of Dec. 30th Dorkside News

    • Arts

This week’s mission debriefs: News from the Video Game Awards and Sony’s State of Play.

The Announcements!

X-Box unveils the title, in which they put a LOT of thought into, of their next-gen console. Aptly dubbed, X-Box Series X, or as we call it… XboxX
Gearbox is making another “Looter” type game, but this one is a “Looter-Slasher” and is a PS5 launch game. ‘Godfall’ looks ridiculous, in a good way.
The man who started Battle Royales announced…something. We got a ‘teaser’ for something mysteriously named “Prologue”
Ghosts of Tsushima trailer dropped. Let’s talk about it.


The AWARDS!

Game of the Year: Sekiro: Shadow’s Die Twice
Action Game: Devil May Cry 5
Action-Adventure Game: Sekiro (Again)
Disco Elysium, blowing it away with: Fresh Indie Game, Independent Game, Narrative, RPG
VR Game: No suprise, Beat Saber
Sports/Racing Game: Crash Team Racing
Fighting Game: Smash Bros, (anyone surprised?)


The State of Play announcements: 

Spellbreak. What to say about it?
Dreams. Coming Valentine’s Day 2020, will it bust?
Untitled Goose Game. December 17th
Babylon’s Fall, from the makers of Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising, and Nier: Automata. And it looks like… the same games, but better quality?
Predator: Hunting Grounds seems super fun, but looks, not up to par with today’s graphics.
RE3 Remake gets… multiplayer? Project Resistance gets rolled up into RE3 remake…or is it the other way around? Either way, they’re together.


J.J. Abrams does J.J. Abrams things and teased Ahsoka Tano in Rise of Skywalker. Do we trust him?
The amazing rework of Sonic might be for naught. The movie is still coming, but the heroes are reportedly out of a job. Moving Picture Company has shut down.
Samuel L. Jackson can now be Alexa’s voice… complete with explicit options.
Hackers are doing Bethesda’s job and putting NPCs in Fallout 76
