The new January 2024 game releases are nearly upon us, as this week, not one, but two demos dropped for major games releasing this month. Sean and Marc have played Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Granblue Fantasy Relink. How do they stack up? Did they get them even more excited for their perspective releases? You'll want to tune in for this. Also, Xbox announced their now yearly Developer Direct is happening next week with Machine Games Indiana Jones game getting some major screen time and more info on Avowed and Senua's Saga Hellblade 2. But the shadow drop from last year's Direct, Hi-Fi Rush, sent the internet buzzing because rumors have swirled that it could be going multiplatform along with Sea of Thieves. Does it hurt Xbox to put its exclusives on other platforms after its initial release? Or is this a smart business move? Nintendo also is apparently in deep discussions about working with more third-party developers on some of its own IP. The guys discuss the news and what dormant franchises could stand to benefit from this the most? Are there any of them they'd like to see make a return? Also, Sony was at CES 2024 and they teased some things, Golden Sun 1 and 2 are coming to Switch Online, the DICE Awards Finalists have been announced, and much more!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/p4x8njWcKrALinks: Christopher Dring at Gamesindustry.biz says Nintendo is discussing with some third parties about making a game with their IP: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/how-can-nintendo-switch-2-surpass-its-predecessor-opinionSea of Thieves Could be going Multi-Platform: https://www.gamefile.news/p/sea-of-thieves-playstationHi-Fi Rush could be going Multi-Platform: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/report-microsoft-may-release-sea-of-thieves-hi-fi-rush-on-ps5-and-switchRadulich in Broadcasting's Review of Netflix's Rebel Moon: https://youtube.com/live/bSDDRJG8OWoThe latest episode of Talk the Keki is their End of Year Awards: https://youtube.com/live/M5AGDZNxfYwTimestamps: 00:01:00: START00:03:25: Housekeeping ----------- Games We Are Playing -----------00:05:10: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (Sean and Marc)00:16:50: Granblue Fantasy Relink (Marc)00:21:50: Fantavision 202X (Marc) 00:26:05: Final Fantasy VII: Remake (Sean) 00:29:05 The Ascent DLC (Marc)00:30:10: Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis (Sean)----------- What's in the News --------00:32:00: PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Games for January 202400:33:20: Sony at CES 2024: Horizon Forbidden West coming to PC, Gravity Rush Movie does exist00:35:50: Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush Could Be Coming to Nintendo Switch and PS500:44:05: Xbox Developer Direct is Happening on January 1800:50:15: DICE Awards 2023 Finalists Announced: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 leads the way00:53:05: Netflix May Develop an extra tier for the games that are added to the service00:57:05: Twitch, Discord, and Unity Engine all hit with layoffs 01:04:50: Golden Sun 1 & 2 are coming to Nintendo Switch Online------------ BIG TOPIC -----------01:06:00: Discussing some franchises that may fare better if Nintendo lets a Third-Party developer handle them------------- The End -------------01:11:40: Games Coming Out This Week- Listen and give us a review on these platforms... - Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ag/podcast/video-games-2-the-max/id886092740Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wjd0u3xO7TdAm4gKRM44LAmazon: https://www.audible.com/pd/Video-Games-2-the-MAX-Podcast/B08JJPTZTWPodchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/video-games-2-the-max-181386Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/?podId=2465904IHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-video-games-2-the-m-28438312/Follow on X (Twitter):Sean on Twitter: https://twitter.com/W2MSeanW2M Network on Twitter: https://twitter.com/w2mnetwork- Other Social Media -Follow us on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@w2mnetwork2Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/aydMgvUN9dFollow us on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/w2mnetworkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/w2mnetwork/Follow Us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/W2MNetwork
