Episode Seventeen - Dead Space Remake, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, and The Last of Us: Part 1

The (New) Joy of Gaming Podcast - Episode Seventeen Dead Space Remake, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, and The Last of Us: Part 1

On this episode of The (New) Joy of Gaming Podcast, we’re back after the winter break and our GOTY episode, and a lot has happened in the game industry since our last regular episode. There’s been some interesting news about this year’s E3 Expo - as well as the Resident Evil 4 Remake and its lack of QTEs - but probably the biggest story of the past few weeks was the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, where Microsoft shared news on Starfield and Redfall, among other titles. We also discuss the latest releases from Limited Run Games, the newest additions to Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus, and some of the notable games we’ve been playing lately, including the Dead Space remake, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, TLOU: Part 1 and more.
