While Jocelyn is away, Ryan welcomes Crofton from Dungeons & Diapers to chat about his “games to play when there are no games coming out” collection. Featuring the triumphant return of Uncharted 4, No Man’s Sky, and Breath of the Wild. On the other hand, Ryan tests out his direction instructing skills by playing We Were Here Together. Plus, just one more loop in Loop Hero! Moving into the news, lots of Game Pass going around, but the most interesting has to be the confirmation that Outriders will be available at launch with the service on April 1st. Finally, Dark Alliance makes it’s return this summer!

Jocelyn runs the numbers with Democracy 4, a politics simulator that is heavy on the stats, graphs, and Steam mods. Ryan then updates us on his time with the PlayStation 5, exploring the wonders of downloading (and accidentally deleting) both PS4 and PS5 versions of the same game. He then chats about his time with Maquette (which he consistently calls Marquette, leading to some not so helpful internet searches). Moving into the news, new reports show an upgraded Switch is likely for 2021, Valve is ceasing development on Artifact 2.0, Marvel’s Avengers does it’s best to stay in the news for the wrong reasons, and Xbox officially welcomes Bethesda to the family.
TGI 458 – Ya Buncha Yell Breathers!
Ryan received his PlayStation 5 and proceeded to watch progress bars for a few days as he moved into the next generation of PlayStation. But eventually, he got to play some games with Miles Morales and Astro’s Playroom. TGI has upgraded and we’re now fully capable of covering the next generation of consoles (when new games come out). We’ve got plenty of news from the latest State of Play and Pokemon Presents announcements. There’s also a good chunk of info out of Bioware with Anthem Next being canned, the next Dragon Age being single player focused, and Henry Cavill teasing a Mass Effect project.

In the news, we discuss a bit of video game movie magic with the release date confirmation for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Then we speculate on what could be announced later on in the week at BlizzConline, and the first Nintendo Direct in over a year.
TGI 455 – Set Spoilers to Medium
We’re back to discussing The Medium, this time focusing on the story. We spoil the general story path, and discuss the ending. If you’re interested in playing The Medium without being spoiled, you’ll want to revisit this discussion at a later date. We conclude the show with the latest news, looking at Blizzard Activision having multiple Warcraft mobile games in advanced development, Gearbox is now a part of Embracer, and the ESA is planning an all digital E3 2021.

Finally, Ryan wraps up his time (for now) with Cyberpunk 2077. We discuss the various endings, but in vague terms, in an attempt to keep things spoiler free. If you want to go in to the endings absolutely spoiler free, feel free to skip the discussion. We close out the show with various news stories, including that whole GameStop stock situation, there’s some new Tomb Raider stuff coming, Google is shutting down internal Stadia studios, and we have more details and a release date for Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

Ryan unfortunately did not enjoy his time with Torchlight III, but has some tips for securing years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at a minimal cost. Jocelyn takes up medieval cemetery management with Graveyard Keeper. Ryan is ready to pick up a PlayStation 5, but are electronic stores ready? We go a little long in What We’re Playing, but take some time to discuss the latest news out of Blizzard, with Vicarious Visions merging with Team 3 to work on a Diablo II remake.
TGI 452 – Deep Dive Into The Deep
We return after finishing Call of the Sea, and are ready to discuss the puzzles, the story, the setting, and of course… SPOILERS! We keep spoilers pretty light for the majority of our conversation, but begin a chat about the ending around the thirty minute mark. If you’re looking to enjoy this game for yourself, from a story perspective, best to skip forward ten minutes to the news. Speaking of news! Ubisoft gets in on the Star Wars fun, and Pokemon will be celebrating 25 years in 2021. And finally, we receive more details on New Pokemon Snap, now due out on April 30th for Nintendo Switch.
TGI 451 – Talking to Myself on a Mysterious Island
Addressing the Old Man Murph in the room, Ryan played a lot of PC games over the last week (and promises to limit his complaining). These PC games include Cyberpunk 2077 and Horizon Zero Dawn. Both Joce and Ryan got a chance to check out Call of the Sea, a puzzle exploration game on Xbox Game Pass. In the news, Bowser gets furious in a new trailer for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, and Lucasfilm Games announces a new Indiana Jones game from Machine Games and Bethesda.
