Episode 37: GamesCom Surprises! Gears 5 Horde Mode! Death Stranding! Insomniac Acquisition! Nate Dogg!
RIP to the legend Nate Dogg. Today, we recorded the show right in the middle of all the Gamescom news so it was a much more delightfully hecktic show than usual. Emmett talks about his time with Hard Reset Redux and Allan talks more about Dragon Age Inquisition very quickly before we get to the news section. The news? ITS MASSIVE. We go over all of the Xbox announcements from Gamescom and also talk about some of the AA and indie titles being shown, as well as a few new Switch titles. But the biggest news is Sony's acquisition of Insomniac Games, and we definitely freak out about that appropriately.
