As a special Saturday edition to the Pixels & Ink Podcast, Brendan, Dayna, and new staff and cast member Justin chatted about Summer Game Fest, Xbox Games Showcase and Ubisoft Forward since they were at the events live in LA.
Since it was Justin’s first live and in-person event, the cast talked about our expectations ahead of arriving in LA. Summer Game Fest keeps impressing and seems to expand every year. The team discusses some of their ideas to keep this running smoothly.
In terms of games, Brendan and Justin rave about their experience with Alan Wake 2, while Dayna still can’t stop talking about Fae Farm. Disney Illusion Island definitely left a great impression, and of course, Mortal Kombat was a hands-down favourite.
Foamstars seems to be this year’s surprise winner, and after the Xbox Game Showcase and Starfield Direct, Dayna, Brendan and Justin are hopeful for what Starfield can bring to the table.
