Episode 77 - Xbox Games Showcase & Bethesda Starfield Direct 2023
Send us a text
The Xbox Games Showcase 2023 brought a ton of content, giving us a good idea of what to expect on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass, and PC for the foreseeable future. The Starfield Direct aired immediately after and gave us our first in-depth look at the game's exploration, combat, customization, and even a strange new power for the player character. We discuss the highlights of the two showcases, including some titles we didn't expect to grab our interest.
We'll also be talking about how Xbox Game Studios chief Matt Booty says people need to realize games now take 4-6 years to make, how college football players are being urged to boycott EA Sports' new NCAA game over low pay, and the strange new way McDonald's is tapping into serious video game nostalgia in honor of Grimace's birthday.
Finally, Donnie takes us all the way back to June 1998 in Retro Rewind.
