In this episode of the Pre Patch Podcast, the crew dives into what they’ve been playing, with SIN's been exploring the vast universe of Star Citizen and setting sail in Skull and Bones, while Enigma takes on the gritty action of Fallen Aces.
We also cover a packed week of gaming news, including the latest announcements from the Nintendo Direct, the unfortunate closure of Galvanic Games, and Bluepoint confirming they're still working on an original title (no Bloodborne in sight, though). We discuss Sony’s decision to skip Gamescom 2024, while Xbox confirms their attendance, and FromSoftware's surprising support for the Elden Ring seamless co-op mod.
In our Quick Hits, we touch on the Xbox 360 store shutting down, Microsoft refunding purchases of Redfall’s premium edition, YouTube’s new fact-checking pilot, and the controversy surrounding the Banana Game. We also talk about Todd Howard shutting down remake rumors, Embracer closing the Alone in the Dark studio, and Miyazaki’s commitment to protecting FromSoftware employees from layoffs.
So grab your favorite gaming snack, settle in, and get ready for an unforgettable episode of the Pre Patch Podcast. We're here to entertain, inform, and ignite your passion for all things gaming. Let's do this!
