CORE 372: Diving With Dave

In this episode of CORE 372, the main topic is the early release of Baldur's Gate 3 on August 3 for PC, with a delay for the PS5 version to September 6. The developers aim to achieve 60 frames-per-second on PS5 and prioritize quality over rushing the release. The hosts discuss their recent gaming experiences, including Final Fantasy XVI, Diablo 4, and various Steam Next Fest demos. They also mention mods for games like Deep Rock Galactic and Crysis in VR. The episode features a game show segment called "Dear Martha," where they guess which game a review is about. They touch upon news about Microsoft CEO's stance on exclusives, Bobby Kotick's view on Gamepass, World of Warcraft Classic adding Hardcore Realms, the Steam Summer Sale, and BlizzCon 2023 ticket prices. Additionally, they receive an email addressing a discussion on Final Fantasy 6 and 7's merits. The episode concludes with news about a patron creating a hacked ROM of Super Techmo Bowl for NES, where patrons' names will be included in the game.

    Welp, the Steam Machine is here, and it's expensive as we figured it might be with the RAM wars and all. Let's break it all down, and highly discourage Canadians from getting one. :) We also talk about the big games of July, Xbox increasing prices, GTA VI costing too much, Gamestop STOPPING something good, Capcom still trolling with the Engine name, Switch 2 getting pricier too, the Summer Sale on Steam, and all the games we played this week: Resident Evil 9, Thank You For Your Application, FF7 Remake, Pragmata, Meccha Chameleon, Stellar Blade, Astro Bot, Nightreign, Overwatch, Heroes of The Storm and more. Also, Jon shares the right order to play the resident evil franchise in.

    Seems like everyone is really into the new Lego Batman game. Also, Sony confirms, no PC ports for their big single player games anymore. We have more thoughts. Warhorse is making a Lord of The Rings RPG. Virtua Fighter 6 leak has us excited. Bungie says Destiny 2 is over. Big Warhammer dump at Skulls Showcase this year. Quantic Dream MOBA actually happened. GTA6 is STILL happening this year...we think. Sunderfolk is free right now...sort of. We played more RE9, some Forza Horizon 6, Rune Dice, Librarian, Crimson Desert, Mixtape, Pokopia, Mano things in Fortnite, Stellar Blade, Surviving Mars: Relaunched, and more! Plus an email or two!

    Today on CORE, turns out those Overwatch coming to Fortnite rumors were true! We talk it about. GDC changes their name. Forza H6 and Subnautica are having a very good week it seems. Capcom is doing really well, and also dominating the digital and PC space for a company like that. Maybe FF7 rebirth is for the olds? Zelda movie has a NEW date. Check out the cool stuff in the CORE store! Scott reviews the new Steam Controller, Forbidden Solitaire, and also gets more Crimson Desert and Dungeon Crawler 1.0 in. Jon might be hooked on Diablo IV now, but had some time with Dead as Discor and Fortnite too. Beau finshed Witcher 3 Blood and Wine, Witcher 2, Stellar Blade, and a touch of Pragmata. .
