Description
Rockstar has been teasing a new announcement in the Red Dead universe for awhile now, and this week, the project was finally revealed: a port of 2010's Red Dead Redemption coming to Nintendo Switch and PS4/PS5. Not a remaster. Not a remake. A literal port. And it boasts a $50 price tag, very high for a 13 year old game that's not getting any significant updates. We discuss this apparent cash grab move by Rockstar and wonder whether we can find any justification for the game's price point (spoiler: we can't).We'll also be talking about the long-rumored but newly-confirmed reboot of Modern Warfare III, how Square Enix is blaming its plummeting share prices on the underperformance of Final Fantasy 16, and how Gizmodo editor-in-chief Daniel Ackerman is suing Apple over the Tetris movie, alleging it rips off his 2016 book The Tetris Effect.Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the 2011 court case Brown vs Entertainment Merchants Association.Join the Stand Up To Cancer #Up2Us Stream Team!- standuptocancer.org/Streaming/#Up2UsWe love our sponsors!
