Question for Brian:

Warframe Plains of Eidolon looks fantastic. What are your thoughts about the support DE continues to bring to the game? What do you think about this expansion?

I continue to be very excited about this game. This is how you do free to play.

Question#1
Food you’ve wanted to try from video games?

While playing games, I’ve stumbled across dishes that I’ve wanted to taste or try and make myself. Are there any dishes from games you’ve played that looked, or by description, sounded appetizing enough to make you want to recreate them or, at least, eat a similar version?

Question#2
Does your life resemble a linear video game or open world?

Mine resembles a linear game for sure. I wake up (usually in the afternoon because I stay up late), play video games, browse laptop, eat, shit, shower, repeat. I have a few classes each Tuesday and a few dinky work shifts on Fridays and Saturdays from about 5 PM-8 or 9 PM. That’s pretty much my life at the moment..

From HashSlingingSlasher

1. Do you think a game should be reviewed by 3 reviewers at different skill levels (good, better, best) when it comes to playing games or just one who is moderately good at games?
I think that if you play at an above average level at some multiplayer games like overwatch you enjoy the game more because the gameplay is much more intense. If a player isn’t all that great at that game then things usually go at a slower pace and the game could seem very shallow and boring.

2. Would you rather have more double A games like rocket league that are very polished and fun to play at a low price, a few great triple A games throughout the year, or a lot of excellent indie titles throughout the year?

3. (If you don’t have enough questions this week) Tony, I watched a previous episode of throwdown your questions and in that episode you said that you couldn’t give an indie game the game of the year award in your opinion. Why is that?

In reply to Rikuson Rozan. We stopped doing non-game related questions on the show but since this is from the homie Malik (via you) we'll make an exception.

Great show guys, Do you think Nintendo will launch the PRIME trilogy before Prime 4? How should PS approach the making of a new handheld ?

1. Can we expect all future consoles to be backwards compatible from now on?

2. If mid gen upgraded consoles are now a thing can we expect people to hold off buying a launch console and wait for the upgraded one thus hurting launch sales?

From Fallofduty:

From Valagas:

Being that Cuphead is an Xbox console exclusive, why in the hell were the developers taking out 2nd mortgages on their homes to pay for continued development of the game? Where in the hell was MS? Did they not offer any financial help with this exclusive? I am buying the game for the One.

– Should Microsoft give up on Japan when it comes to Xbox? – not if there’s money to be made
– Can this generation still be considered underwhelming? – I wouldn’t say that
– What do you make of guys scamming GameStop to get in-store credit? – they deserve it
– Is it safe to assume Valve will never release a new game again? – no
– Have you ever outgrown a type of game because it has characters younger than you? – no
– What can Capcom do to correct some of its recent missteps? – let someone buy them
– What developers would you want to see work on Capcom’s shelved fighters? – none
– Why is there so much misinformation regarding PC gaming? – cuz people don’t know what they are talking about
– Has online gaming ruined gaming overall? – fuck no! it’s made it better!
– Why do you think Phil Spencer said games like Horizon don’t have impact? – single player games don’t have a long shelf life. Look at Horizon and PUBG. People are still talking about PUBG and the game is still growing in sales. Horizon sales have dropped. That’s what impact is.
– Why did Nintendo release classic systems instead of making a Virtual Console? – they are milking the cow
– Who would you save: Jim Ryan, Peter Molyneaux, Reggie Fils-aime, or Don Mattrick? Oo
– Will next-gen systems finally deliver consistent 1080p/60fps? – they better!
– What do you make of OG Xbox games not having achievements/widescreen support? – these are just backward compatible games and not remasters. When games are remastered, they utilize the current systems API. That’s how you get trophies/achievements in remastered games. BC games are just emulated. Yeah, you can still stream and capture pics and video, but that’s Xbox One’s API being put to use. In order for BC games to have achievements, they’d have to be recoded, which defeats the purpose. Same goes for widescreen support. If a game is 640 pixels wide, it’s not widescreen. In order for it to be widescreen, they’d have to remake the assets in a widescreen resolution. Again, these are BC games, not remasters.
– At what point do you begin to remove games from your backlog?- you dont.
