The Game Informer Show

Ahoy! It's the dawn of a new day on The Game Informer Show, and we've got a salty crew of sea-dogs ready to tackle the biggest news and games out right now. First up, the video boys Alex and Eric discuss their experiences seeing Summer Games Done Quick in person. And Wesley LeBlanc has a few opinions about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time too, after finishing a fresh replay.Then, we dig into Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced with Wes and Charles Harte, to determine whether this fresh take on a pirating classic is a treasure or not. Alex and Marcus Stewart both have some indies to discuss, too: Don't Let It Starve and Cat Mail Co., to be specific. It's a podcast packed to the gills, so settle in, get some grog, and sing a shanty as we debut another episode of The Game Informer Show!The Game Informer Show is a weekly podcast covering the video game industry.

In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show podcast, special guest Patrick Susmilch joins the crew to discuss the remake of Star Fox 64, Steam Next Fest demos like Penguin Colony and Duskfade, Charles' review of The Adventures of Elliot, Dark Scrolls (no, that's not a typo), Saros, and more.Susmilch performed on Last Comic Standing (you'll never guess which famous comedian liked his set), but is undeniably best known for his appearance here at Game Informer in 2014, where he discussed making terrible XNA games for Xbox with his friends. He also developed a narrative game about performing bad stand-up comedy, Open Mic Simulator. Oh, also, everyone's favorite Star Fox character, Yaru de Pon, is a guest for the duration of the video show, but we don't like to talk about it.The Game Informer Show is a weekly podcast covering the video game industry.

It's a news-heavy week on The Game Informer Show, as Ubisoft announced some major changes to its roadmap over the coming years amid numerous delays and game cancellations. Alex, Marcus, and Eric get together to break all that down in the last half of the show, and try to make light of how the Far Cry and Assassin's Creed publisher got here.Before that, though, the crew talks about two fascinating new indie games they've been playing. Marcus dives into MIO: Memories In Orbit, a new Metroidvania that might be Hollow Knight-levels of difficult. Eric, meanwhile, has been testing his mental mettle with TR-49, Inkle's new mystery game that tasks players with tearing their way through a strange machine.The Game Informer Show is a weekly podcast covering the video game industry.
