Description
While the world's financial heavyweights rush to invest in the burgeoning video game industry, gaming journalism may be on its last legs. Many high-profile outlets have either downsized significantly or closed up shop for good. Those that remain have largely replaced gaming news coverage with listicles and playthrough guides. In an online world funded by SEO optimization and clickbait, is there any hope for a future for true gaming journalism?We'll also be discussing the new report that claims Konami is planning to reveal a new Castlevania and a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake at this year's E3, how the upcoming Olympic Esports Series will feature games like Just Dance and Gran Turismo, and how Final Fantasy XVI's new take on difficulty settings was inspired by producer Naoki Yoshida's "pride as a gamer."Finally, Donnie takes us all the way back to March 1992 with his Retro Rewind.We love our sponsors!
