Activision Blizzard also drew some attention this week when its leadership was quoted on bringing more of their franchises to mobile - and that’s not all! Another week, another video game news packed podcast for your listening enjoyment. Stay tuned for some great listener questions and fun stories about the ultimate Video Game Christmas and disappointed dads. 00:00 - Intro 00:59 - Series X reviews are in 17:51 - Will there be a next-gen Red Ring of Death? 24:31 - Series S only has 364GB of storage 34:21 - Activision Blizzard bringing more IP to mobile  43:33 - Listener Questions Listen to more podcast episodes! https://link.chtbl.com/IGPodcast   Or buy our shirt! https://is.gd/u3xCtA OR follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/briangaar http://twitter.com/mc_lotta https://twitter.com/DarthBurrit0 http://twitter.com/InsideGaming [CNET] - Xbox Series X review https://www.cnet.com/news/xbox-series-x-review-gaming-console-microsoft-no-surprises-gimmicks-secret-weapon-game-pass/ [TechCrunch] - Xbox Series X review https://techcrunch.com/2020/11/05/review-the-xbox-series-x-is-ahead-of-its-time/ [The Verge] - Xbox Series X review https://www.theverge.com/21548987/xbox-series-x-review [VGC] - The Xbox Series X has NO storage  https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-series-s-will-have-364gb-of-storage-available-for-games-its-claimed/ [PlayStation Blog] - PS5 online-only launch day sales https://blog.playstation.com/2020/11/05/playstation-5-launch-day-ordering-update/ [Gamasutra] - Activision Blizzard says their future is in mobile  https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/372960/Bringing_more_franchises_to_mobile_is_Activision_Blizzards_biggest_opportunity_says_COO.php

Cyberpunk 2077 is still on fire and today we’re digging a little more into the shady nature of the game’s release and the impact it might have on CDPR going forward. We’re also talking about winners from The Game Awards… weirdly we didn’t have much to say about any of the world exclusives? ( Probably because Brian’s computer exploded but you can catch the daily episode about it anyway I guess).  Lastly, we tackle Twitch’s latest update to their terms of service and its target, contextualized use of the words ‘simp’, ‘incel’, and ‘virgin’.  00:00 - Intro 00:57 - Cyberpunk 2077 is still on fire 10:11 - Brian says “I was wrong” Stadia fans 18:58 - CDPR has impacted Microsoft and Sony negatively 26:03 - Was the Cyberpunk hype like Like No Man’s Sky? 32:08 - The Game Awards 36:39 - Twitch bans “simp” “incel” and “virgin” 42:35 - Listener Questions Listen to more episodes of the podcast! https://link.chtbl.com/IGPodcast   Or buy our shirt! https://is.gd/u3xCtA OR follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/briangaar https://twitter.com/KdinJenzen https://twitter.com/snackary_ https://twitter.com/DarthBurrit0 http://twitter.com/InsideGaming SOURCES  [VentureBeat] - Cyberpunk 2077 drama  https://venturebeat.com/2020/12/16/cd-projekt-red-risked-the-reputations-of-others-to-insulate-cyberpunk-2077/ [Variety] - The Game Awards recap https://variety.com/2020/digital/news/the-game-awards-winners-list-2020-1234850547/ [Gizmodo] - Twitch bans terms “simp” “incel” and “virgin” https://gizmodo.com/twitch-bans-the-words-simp-and-virgin-actual-simps-and-1845899833

Cyberpunk 2077 is officially out but to the dismay of last-gen console owners everywhere - the game is really, really broken on the PS4 and the Xbox One.

Sony did their own teardown of the newest PlayStation and it was awesome. Japanese reviewers also got their hands on the PS5 and they reported that the next-gen console is extraordinarily quiet. That’s fun. Meanwhile, on the other side of console mountain, Nintendo is fighting a legal battle over the dreaded Joy-Con drift. Apparently, their lawyers said, “it ain't’ that bad, get over it or get gud.” Okay, that’s not what they said at all but you could imagine, right? Lastly, the gang talks about China’s hold on free speech in video games and all the censored words in Genshin Impact.

Nintendo announced their next big fighter to the Super Smash Bros Ultimate roster and it is none other than Minecraft Steve! And also Alex, Enderman, and Zombie. But mostly Steve! In the announcement video, Masahiro Sakurai seemed more than a bit upset at the addition, even throwing Nintendo itself under the bus hinting they almost forced him to do it! Cyberpunk 2077 developers CD Projekt Red has repeatedly stated they would not be forcing crunch on their employees. Well a year later, it’s all a lie! In a recent statement, and with much regret, the studio heads announced that for the next six weeks leading up to the launch of the game everyone would be pulling six-day work weeks to get the game across the finish line. The Xbox Series X is in the hands of some lucky industry folks and we now know just how fast it is at running last generation games. And it is very very fast. But is this enough to convince everyone to upgrade to the new hardware over Sony’s PlayStation 5? Speaking of Sony, Insomniac Games announced that they had recast the facial motion capture actor for Peter Parker in their upcoming remaster of the PlayStation 4 hit Marvel’s Spider-Man for the PlayStation 5.

Visit http://att.com/5G for more information on AT&T 5G! Xbox announced their plans to purchase Bethesda this week and surprised the entire industry to its core. Of course, the big news has us wondering… Will past and future games be locked to the Xbox Series X or the Xbox Series S in the near future? Will the next Skyrim or Fallout be playable on PS5? We’re taking a look at all those questions and more this week on Send News!  If the Bethesda buy out wasn’t enough, the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S pre orders went live on Tuesday and despite some subtle jabs from Phil Spencer and Xbox twitter it went about as well you’d expect - which is to say, not much better or worse than the PS5 pre order chaos. Speaking of the PS5 it’s also been reported that there were quite a bit fewer PS5 Digital Edition models available for pre order than the standard PS5 model. Another surprise story this week hit just yesterday when Amazon announced that it will be joining the cloud gaming market with it’s new subscription service Luna. Set to hit iOS and and all your other favorite mobile devices Amazon hopes to take on Stadia and xCloud. Last but not least our final story is about a potential breach that could effect hundreds of thousands of Activision accounts and Call of Duty players. Many complaints have been surfacing about hacked accounts and credentials being swapped. Activision’s official word is that reports of a security breach so far have been inaccurate but it might be time to change that password just in case.

PS5 pre order fever has hit the internet! Excited fans are taking digital retail outlets like Walmart and Target by storm as they buy up every PS5 the moment they become available. It’s not particularly a bad problem to have if you are Sony but if you’re looking to play Miles Morales or Demon’s Souls on a PS5 at launch you might have to work for it a little. While trying to get a PS5 preorder has been complete chaos pretty much since the price and launch date was announced - Microsoft is boasting about a simultaneous worldwide launch and scheduled preorders. Only time will tell if Xbox will come through with those promises but in the meantime the Xbox Series S has taken a bit of heat this week. According to Microsoft themselves, the next gen budget console will only be playing last gens versions of cross-gen games. Less eloquently put, the Xbox Series S will only play Xbox One S versions of current gen games. That means you can play better versions of current gen games on last gen hardware… the Xbox One X. That of course means you won’t be getting any of the “enhanced for Xbox Series X” upgrades on the Series S either... Still following? That’s okay me neither. Anyways we’re talking about all the next gen details on todays episode of Send News! So don’t miss out. 00:00 - Intro 00:49 - PS5 showcase and pre order chaos 21:55 - PS5 Unit Sales and  29:24 - Series S cross gen debacle 37:18 - Listener Questions More podcast episodes here! https://link.chtbl.com/IGPodcast   Or buy our shirt! https://is.gd/u3xCtA OR follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/briangaar http://twitter.com/@DarthBurrit0 https://twitter.com/doplextv http://twitter.com/InsideGaming SOURCES [Playstation Blog] Sony finally revealed the PS5 prices/release dates https://blog.playstation.com/2020/09/16/playstation-5-launches-in-november-starting-at-399-for-ps5-digital-edition-and-499-for-ps5-with-ultra-hd-blu-ray-disc-drive/ [Polygon] PS5 preorders were a mess https://www.polygon.com/2020/9/16/21440842/ps5-preorder-gamestop-best-buy-blocked-sony-availability [Bloomberg] Did Sony cut the number of PS5s to be produced https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-15/sony-is-said-to-cut-ps5-forecast-by-4-million-due-to-chip-woes [VGC] Xbox Series S less powerful than the One X? https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-series-s-likely-wont-be-able-to-run-xbox-one-x-content-its-claimed/

Sometimes I forget there is no formal grading scale in U.S. When they said 70's are C's I thought well only 79 the rest are D's. 69 and below was F where I was.

Chemistry was a little different, but it was still a great show. I left IGN and Kinda Funny after 10 years of listening to podcasts and watching their videos, and I can't get enough of Inside Gaming.

I'm glad you guys are taking the Corona Virus seriously. The news doesn't give all the details. Everybody needs to take care even if you don't get symptoms and stay in good health maybe someone close to you won't be so lucky

MeianJū Naihatsu is here! I loved the Nintendo Wii U, the marketing was just awful. The Asymmetric gameplay they created was like VR gaming without a headset. It was an insane concept but it was going somewhere. Now I can only hope Nintendo creates a headset to compete with the Oculus Quest.
