The Finger Guns Podcast
Embracer drop the axe on yet another studio, Sea of Thieves has ruled the PlayStation seas
•
After last weeks showcase shenanigans we're back on traditional podcast duty talking the weeks biggest news including Nintendo returning with a shiny new Direct showcase (though no mention of their new console is confirmed). What on earth have they got up their sleeve to show us? We're a little dumbfounded so it's gonna be a hugely interesting show.
Elsewhere Embracer have closed Alone in the Dark remake studio Pieces Interactive after 'disappointing sales'. Are games really selling poorly or are expectations too high?
Finally we talk Sea of Thieves and how it's ruling the PlayStation seas in the US and Europe.
In Game of the Week Kat has been checking out the PlayStation edition of Sea of Thieves and it may have turned into a slight obsession. Josh has been finally playing the absolute banger that is Persona 3 Reload, Miles has smashed out the very 'Miles' game V Rising. whilst Rossko has been checking out some Steam Next Fest demos such as The Alters, Parcel Corps and well, Building Relationships. Yikes.
And in recommendations Kat talks The Last Campfire, Josh recommends a documentary about real estate developer Robert Durst, whilst Miles recommends sea-faring horror Still Wakes the Deep.
