Will 2021 Be Lackluster & Underwhelming For Video Games? - Controlled Interests Gamecast Ep. 190

This week was slow in terms of video game news, but that doesn't mean there wasn't anything to talk about. Logan Moore from DualShockers joins Jerrad and Dom to talk about Mafia Trilogy and Definitive Edition details, the announcement of the New Game+ Expo, and a ton of crazy sales news. They close out with the topic pertaining to whether or not 2021 will be lackluster for the video game industry. The question revolves around Head of Xbox Phil Spencer's concerns over how COVID-19 will affect games that are set to release in the next 12 to 18 months, as well as the Metacritic data that showcases that the lowest cumulative scores for entire years are both years that follow the release of a new generation of console hardware.
