058: Metaween (Meta, State of Play, NSO, Our Spooky Special)
It's time to get spoOoOoOoky on this special Halloween episode of Big Week in Gaming for 31 Oct 2021. And what's scarier than Mark Zuckerberg's plan to imprison the world in a virtual uncanny valley hell?
This week we cover Facebook's name change and how it impacts Oculus and VR gaming in the future, Let It Die and Star Ocean getting unexpected sequels, Tomb Raider's 25th anniversary and reboot prototype, Switch Nintendo 64 emulation impressions (spoiler: it sucks) and a review of the indie throwback JRPG Light Fairytale Episode 2.
But what would Halloween be without some scary video games? Tune in to find out what truly spooky titles we played to celebrate.👻
