Torrence Davis of The Bitbag writes, "I called in to Gamestop to pre-order a MGS4 bundle and got shut down. You can hear the phone call during the first few minutes of the podcast. Other highlights for this show include:
* Torrence Davis calls in to Gamestop to pre-order a MGS4 bundle.
* Weapon X, an industry insider, joins The Bitbag crew.
* Did Ninja Gaiden II fail to deliver? We debate back and forth about it.
* Qore is $29.99 a year and Xbox Insider is free. Have the tides turned?
* Hiphopgamer and Torrence Davis go at it hard debating which games shine better on PS3 vs. 360.
* Hydrolex awarded Fanboy Of The Week and we talk about why.
* Plus some more random game talk."
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst
Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.
S2Killinit
live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating
Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.
Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.
This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality
..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....
...Really???
PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.
Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.
He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
hilarious
this was the illest one yet son! keep it up , that sh*t was pure madness. the WarZone is the only podcast that you can sit through and enjoy the whole thing and anticipate every moment of. theirs nothing else out there that can match the illness of this pod cast. good job guys, stay strong, keep doing your thing, good luck at E3, peace and god bless.
Lenhart and Maverick reported 3x each.
Great show! The prank call into Gamestop was classic! I hope you guys do more of that.
I love to hear Tordavis and Hiphopgamer go at it. They both make good points and respect each other. Something that is lacking on this site.
Don't see the need to prank call gamestop and basically harass the employee, he has a job to do, I would just let him do it.
This is childish behavior IMO.
Well, these guys are morons cause Qore isn't 29.99 a year. These guys suck pretty hard to boot. What a waste.
