Pit Stop Topics
Review a game you played in 2018.
1 From @BravesB_ : Thanks to @XboxGamePass, I got to play Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero. This game nails action platforming magnificently. Beautiful cartoony art style with vibrant colors. Character skill/ability unlockables throughout are always dangling a carrot on a stick to chase. Loved every minute!
2 From Khori @Soulstro: I played hellblade and ashen it was amazing but the game i played that was amazing was pix ark that game is awesome
3 From Jacob Haroldeen @HacHaro231: I finally got into cuphead this year, a little late. The art of the game is amazing but sometimes the difficulty walks the line of frustrating instead of challenging. Excited to peep the dlc next year tho!
4 From Mitch Power @MitchPower1116 [Edited by Luke]: Overcooked 2 is a co-op masterpiece. It brings out the best in what makes couch co-op gaming so fun. Very rarely has my wife been excited for a game, but when I mentioned Overcooked 2 was installed on the Xbox and ready to play, her eyes lit like Christmas morning. I have never had so much fun playing a couch co op game. 9.9 out of 10 because no game is perfect

Anthem impressions after week one
Halo 4 was originally pitched as an Xbox One launch title according to Bonnie Ross in an IGN interview.
https://ca.ign.com/articles/2019/02/27/halo-4-originally-pitched-as-xbox-one-launch-title-ign-unfiltered
Does the launch of Anthem, Destiny 2, or Apex change the way betas roll out?
Could this hurt sales the way Anthem was seemingly hurt?
Consider other phased releases: Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 4, FIFA and other EA Sports games.
Breaking News: Ubisoft announces Year 1 Pass will grants 7-Day Early Access to Episodes and Instant Access to All Year 1 Specializations as They Release. Perhaps Early Access should be limited to post-launch content. Is Ubisoft the real genius?
The Car Pool - Listener Question
Todd Oxtra @SecretFriendsUnite: With Gamepass being so successful do you anticipate more additional DLC/microtransactions to supplement/offset the lower revenue stream for publishers/dev teams? Music streaming hasn't been that profitable for artists and most make up their biggest income from tours and merch.
Cruise Control - Topic of the Show
In game communication systems. Apex Legends brought a revolutionary (yes) level of in-game communication between players without needed a microphone. While the ping-system is not necessarily new overall, it’s implementation is near-perfect in Apex.
Could or should this system be adopted by more franchises given the future rise of things like project xCloud and mobile gaming? Not everyone will have or want access to a microphone while gaming.

Easy mode: does it hurt a game to include it? - See Poll
Bad Bit: “Easy Mode” it the wrong term. I think making games more accessible In not just talking a physical manner like the Adaptive Controller. But, make it accessible via the software it’s self like Celeste, God of War, Horizon, Uncharted 4. Accessibility matters.
Robby Bobby Miller: Normal mode is how most games start. I tend to start at a higher difficulty because I want to feel like I paid to get my butt kicked.
SkinnyMattk: It doesn’t hurt to include it and it doesn’t hurt to not include it.
SecretFriendsU: Tomb raider even offered the ability to customize difficulty in different areas. So if you enjoy the puzzle solving and traversal,but not the combat, you can change it to make the experience far more fun.
Josh Bones: If Sekiro has an easy setting if would be more accessible to other gamers, like me. That equals more sales. A large part of the complaints come from the people who take it as a point of pride that they can beat these games and others can’t. Take that as you will.Plugs

This was originally Sony’s slot. SE states they have news regarding an “exciting lineup of titles”.
Previous titles announced at Square Enix’s conferences include Just Cause 4, Kingdom Hearts 3, and Octopath.
Is this a smart move for them? FF7?

Mortal Kombat 11 has released with remarkable fanfair. The game has landed at an 83 on Metacritic and seems to be a critical success.
The game is beautiful, violent, and has a variety of gameplay modes (story, towers, Krypt)
Some are stating frustrations with the loot nature of the Krypt and the gimmicky nature of certain challenges which Netherrealm has stated they will be fixing.
Luke has played and completed the story mode. Code provided by publisher.
Anthem’s latest update vastly improves the game, further delays promised content.
New Stronghold, Forge anywhere, numerous bug fixes (Luke’s glitched achievement is fixed!)
Cataclysm and guilds delayed, loot still not fixed for endgame players.

Edward Varnell @thatretrocode - How important are external hard drives to consoles? Do you think we need to factor it in with purchasing prices of systems and games when we shop or worry about it later?
Do you think that 60 FPS, HDR, and 4K is important when companies still have technical difficulties like lag, freezing, dropping connections, and XBL going down from time to time for some people? Is tech speak great PR marketing when its exemptions not included?

Garret Bland: With E3 coming up, which Microsoft-owned studio do you want to see announce a new game/ip?
Famous Seamus: What kinds of games does Microsoft need to show to blow everyone's mind away?
Chris Sea of Thieves Johnston: How do you feel when listening to journalists on podcasts say that it’s been forever (months or years) since they turned on their home Xbox Ones? What can Microsoft do in the next generation to avoid this very common sentiment?
Antonio Guillen:
Recent news suggests that PS5 isn’t releasing this fiscal year (before April 2020) With Xbox most likely releasing first when do you expect the launch? I’m assuming E3 announcement and fall release.
I would love to hear some talk about May GamePass lineup and some predictions for heavy hitters in June. With the release of TombRaider and WarGroove so soon after release it doesn’t look like any caliber of game is off the table. What are the chances we see MK11 in 2 months

Microsoft Patent Imagines an Xbox Controller Customized for Gamers With Visual Impairment.
Controller features a bump matrix display, capable of displaying braille characters, that’s positioned where a gamer’s fingers could easily reach. The controller also features a series of paddles, reminiscent of the Xbox Elite Controller, but instead of accommodating itchy trigger fingers, they’re designed to allow gamers to quickly send chat messages, encoded in braille, using various trigger combinations. The paddles could be used for gameplay too, but the patent also suggests they’d provide an alternate way to receive braille messages using advanced haptics, with letters being delivered based on which combination of paddles were vibrating.

Scalebound was cancelled because “both sides” made mistakes according to Platinum Games director Atsushi Inaba.
Watching fans getting angry at Microsoft over the cancellation wasn't easy for us to watch. Because the reality is, when any game in development can't get released it's because both sides failed.
There were a lot of painful lessons, but that helped us grow as a studio. We obviously can't go into details about it, because there are rules of engagement as a developer. We want to make sure that the publisher who gave us a chance to make a game in the first place isn't treated poorly. The truth is, we don't like to see Microsoft take the brunt of the fan ire because game development is hard and both sides learned lessons, for sure…

Call of Duty 2019 is rumored (verified by Schrierer) to be called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Announcement scheduled for May 30th
Similar to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and it’s remaster.
The naming convention is not all that strange. See: God of War, Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat.
Consider that Modern Warfare was nearly its own brand back when Modern Warfare 2 was coming out, however at the last moment “Call of Duty” was returned to the name.

Pit Stop Topics
Favorite Multiplayer Modes. We played Gears 4 Horde this week and it reminded us that there is more to multiplayer life than Battle Royale.
Audio power. Luke has been playing Metro Exodus on a high powered headset using Dolby Atmos and the experience is special. Consider comments from Mark Cerny in PS5, consider Scarlett as they adapt next gen to incorporate audio.
Luke pre-ordered the new Elite controller. Also bought the Phantom Black controller. Will sell kidney.
The Car Pool - Listener Question
Mr. Moody @MrGloriousOneWe are almost halfway through the year, so what are YOUR favorite games of 2019 so far?
Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumasWhat's your favorite Licensed game (IE games based on other properties like movies, shows, books, etc)?
Brendan Myers @The_WintergamerWhat Exclusive Super Hero Video game would fit best on Xbox Systems?
Green Arrow or Daredevil. Characters are powered appropriately that we’d say Spider-Man or Arkham style gameplay with unique abilities but it’d not be so outrageous that it’s exclusive.
Cruise Control - Topic of the Show
Rod Ferguson, head of The Coalition, recently discussed his studio’s strategy when taking on Gears after Microsoft acquired the franchise from Epic. Let’s explore what it means for IP to make the jump from one studio to the next and how gamers respond. Examples include Halo, Batman Arkham Origins, Call of Duty.
Loved Rob’s comment about how 6 minutes made up their E3 impression despite showing gameplay

Fred Wester, Paradox Interactive ex-CEO: While the Game Pass model to us is still a decent model, we think we're not getting paid enough, because people play our games (Cities Skylines, Pillars of Eternity) more than they play very single-player driven narratives. Ben Decker, Xbox Head of Gaming Services: We don't have a goal of being the subscription where you get all your content. This is meant to be additive to the ecosystem. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-07-05-xbox-game-pass-developers

Have either of you heard or tried that gaming company called shadow? Where you can stream computer games on any device, no matter its computing power?

For Xbox I just buy a rechargeable battery and am able to replace it if it goes bad. Built in doesn’t give that option. Thoughts Hypecaster - Why should new comers play Gears ?
