So this week's episode is all about the impact of such news. What does this mean for Gamepass? what does this mean for competitors?

Hey Hey Gamers! This week we finally got confirmation that the Warner Bros MultiVersus, the arena fighting free to play game, is now confirmed. This is the first arena fighter that has a big emphasis on Coop. Unfortunately, we also have a lot of sad news still coming out of Activision/Blizzard regarding the mistreatment and toxic culture towards its developers. To top everything off, the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy: The Definitive Edition is not so "Definitive". At the very least we got an early release of Halo Infinite and it runs buttery smooth!  Remember you can join the conversation by joining us on discord or talking over the various social media platforms Twitter: https://twitter.com/ItsAllFunNGame Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsallfunngame/ Twitch: https://twitch.tv/itsallfunngames Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC10jzB8ELsR755HOtmevvHg Discord - https://discord.gg/GXBqPrD Music by the amazing melodungeon https://soundcloud.com/melodungeon   2:20 Warner Bros MultiVersus Discussion 17:30 Activision/Blizzard CEO under Fire after WSJ article 37:00 GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition not doing so great  43:00 Halo Infinite Multiplayer Discussion 56:00 Dragon Ball: Breakers 57:30 What we've been playing News Links: MultiVersus announcement - https://www.gameinformer.com/2021/11/18/multiversus-announced-will-feature-batman-shaggy-bugs-bunny-arya-stark-steven-universe  Activision/Blizzard Fiasco https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-11-16-activision-boss-bobby-kotick-under-fire-after-damning-report-into-what-he-knew-of-workplace-abuse https://www.polygon.com/22787230/blizzard-equal-pay-disparity-jen-oneal-resignation https://www.pcgamer.com/playstation-chief-criticises-activisions-response-to-harassment-allegations/ https://www.ign.com/articles/phil-spencer-supports-legal-game-emulation GTA Trilogy: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/11/gta-trilogy-is-very-close-to-receiving-the-worst-ever-switch-user-review-score-on-metacritic   Thanks you everyone for joining on this week's podcast.

Hey hey everyone! What a week for game it was. Lucas Film Games announce their plans to shared IPs with other gaming studios as they are open to take elevator pitches and find the right fit. It already started by giving Indiana Jones to Bethesda's MachineGames and Star Wars to Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment to make an open world game. On top of that, last year we got the announcement that IO interactive paired up with 007 IP. Given all this tie ins, we got together to discuss which developer should take an existing non-gaming IP and do it justice. So here are our top 3 IP and gaming studio Pairs:00:00 Introduction5:30 Arc System Works and ??12:00 Yatch Club Games and ??16:50 Beenox and ??23:40 From Software and ??30:45 Obsidian and ??42:00 Super Massive Games and ??What would be your dream IP and gaming studio Tie In?

Hey Hey everyone! Thank you for joining us another week to sit back and talk about video games. Given that the next generation console launch is upon us, we decided to look back at the game console launches in the past. Not only did we look back, we decided to have a little fun creating a subjective ranking of game console launches. We just ranked based on the games available at launch. We did not rank based on the impact of technological advancement in the entertainment world. The rank includes the major console launches of the major console manufacturers: Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony and Sega. We excluded consoles that we lacked enough knowledge to give an opinion. Here are the lists we used to determine games available at launch:https://gamicus.gamepedia.com/List_of_video_game_console_launch_gameshttps://www.ign.com/wikis/playstation-5/List_of_PlayStation_5_Launch_Gameshttps://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-series-x/List_of_Xbox_Series_X_Launch_Games Here is a link  with the final results:Based on US launches (since we would not have access to the Japanese releases) Check out more of Matt and Melvin onTwitter: https://twitter.com/ItsAllFunNGameInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsallfunngame/Twitch: https://twitch.tv/itsallfunngamesYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC10jzB8ELsR755HOtmevvHgMusic by the amazing melodungeon https://soundcloud.com/melodungeon
