Redfall has finally launched, but Microsoft may be wishing they'd left this one on the shelf. What was once anticipated as one of the biggest releases of the year (and certainly a crucial release for the Xbox platform) is instead being called the worst AAA release in recent memory. We"re joined by Rob from the Retro Game Club Podcast to discuss the fallout of the title's disastrous launch and what it may mean for Microsoft and the future of the Xbox brand.
We'll also be talking about how nine million people watched the full Super Mario Bros. Movie after it was illegally posted on Twitter, how PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida thinks a future dominated by live-service games would be "boring," and the news that indie game super hit Vampire Survivors is getting an animated series.
Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the history of toys-to-life peripherals.
