Story x Story #184: Sun Soaked Roundtable For Three (Video Games)

This week, Nigel is hosting solo as he welcomes two of our "Do I Look Like A Gamer?" Campaign 40 members to the podcast for the first time to talk about the games we've been playing and the summer of video games, along with the deluge of showcases that come with it (starting at 22:29). Marketing Manager & Chair of DEI, Jerreau Henry, alongside Content Creator and Gaming Ambassador, Trevor Graham, bring their thoughts to the games news...which there is plenty of! We discuss the Summer Game Fest showcase, the games on display, and its place in the video game announcement landscape following the confirmed demise of E3. We also get to talk about the rumors around new consoles and whether we need an upgrade to the PS5 this year, plus the backlash to diversity in video game narratives. Video games we're playing: Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Hollow Knight, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, eFootball, Fortnite, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
