SNGP 19 - The Last Word on PlayStation State of Play October 2021

Send us Fan MailThe Switch Online + Expansion Pack launch is a bit of a disappointment, but we have other games to play here at SNGP!  David Radd played some Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn but spends more time complaining about the YOU and ME and HER: A Love Story VN he was watching simultaneously and enjoys taking pictures of ghosts but doesn't like trotting back and forth across a dilapidated Japanese village in Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly.  Meanwhile, Tuesday gets curbstomped by Matador in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and gets annoyed by all the generic ghosts in Luigi's Mansion 3.  In SNGP news, Activision Blizzard is denied a pause in the alleged ethics violations lawsuit, renamed McCree in Overwatch, reduced the hard-drive crushing size of Call of Duty Vanguard and cancelled BlizzCon (again).  In the vanishingly small non-Activision half of the news, Suda51 talks about future plans for Grasshopper Manufacture while the company is purchased by NetEase, the Xbox Series receives a dashboard update and Xbox hardware revenue goes up with the new system launch (other revenue stays flat),  while Epic signs publishing deals with Eyes Out and Spry Fox while CD Project acquires Molasses Flood, developers of The Flame in the Flood.  In the SNGP topic, David and Tuesday tackle the surprise PlayStation State of Play, which had a lot of focus on mid-tier games, and go beyond the trailers to lay out all the important information for the 10 games shown off at the event.If you enjoy the podcast, visit us at Patreon.com/SNGP!
