This week's episode is back to the usual speed with the biggest gaming news stories of the week front and center. From Apex Legends Leaks to the sustainability of asymmetrical multiplayer, Luke, Larry, and Cody bring context to the news you've been reading this week. 18:37 - Cody's Topic: Apex Legends added jump pads to a specific section of their map in anticipation of Octane releasing the the season pass. Cody asks if this form of revealing and testing content is the best way for battle royales to keep players engaged. What does Apex need to do to keep their player base coming back for more? Fortnite's evolving map approach? Blackout-style character challenges? 38:26 - Luke's Topic: Sledgehammer co-founder Glen Schofield said that he pitched a new IP to Activision, but it was denied. With Activision and Bungie parting ways, it seems that Call of Duty is the only Blockbuster franchise that Activision is actively publishing. Do you think there is a need for Activision to diversify their portfolio. Is Call of Duty enough to sustain them in the long term. If you were the head of Activision are there any specific genres you would be looking to make a splash in? Are there any particular studios that Activision should try to engage in a similar partnership as they did with Bungie? 59:02 - Larry's Topic: Left 4 Dead and Evolve creators are working on new game, Back 4 Blood. What has been you experience with previous Turtle Rock games? What was good, what was bad? What are you looking for in a spiritual sequel to a game people have been wanting for over a decade? How can they improve on a game from (what will be) 2 generations ago and succeed in the midst of such high expectations?

An E3 has happened. Now that the businessmen have let slip the #content, it falls to the PC Gamer team to make sense of it all. Phil, Andy and Chris huddle around a mic to run through the conference announcements. What can we learn from the Mass Effect trailer? Is there any reason to care about Skyrim Remastered? Will Forza Horizon 3 be worth playing, despite its inevitable douchebag? Is Call of Duty good now? And, most importantly of all, why, Kojima, why?

The Jack of No Trades crew discuss shooters in today's gaming world! Is Call of Duty the model for the future? Or should Halo come back and claim the throne? Join us while we get nostalgic talking about Goldeneye on the beloved N64, Pong as the first shooter ever made, and Doom making a comeback.

Welcome to the next edition of PixlTalk! This week, Patrick takes the reins of the Tri-Force show to talk about the modern day shooter. But before we delve into that heady subject, we talk about recent games we've been playing. New and hot releases like Alan Wake's American Nightmare, SSX, and Mass Effect 3 come up, along with random stuff like Batman: Arkham City, Bulletstorm, and Snoopy's Street Fair. Yeah, the Tri-Force crew is down with the Peanuts, big whoop, wanna fight about it? In the main topic this week, Patrick poses some deep questions about the morality of modern day FPS games. Is it right to glorify war, especially with so much actual war occurring in the world today? Is Call of Duty just an insidious recruitment tool for the military? Is the very real threat of nuclear war trivialized when games allow you to nuke your opponents in multiplayer? It's not all doom and gloom this week, though. We also tell some funny stories about our early FPS experiences. Julian admits how much he sucks at shooters, being Mr. RPG and all, as well as his man crush for Jason Statham. We muse about the future of the genre, and compare Bobby Kotick to the most evil men in history. All this and more, on PixlTalk! Featured Music: Edwin Starr: War Palette Swap Ninja: Halo (This is All I Play-Oh)
