Episode 46 – E3 2014: Playstation Conference

The whole crew breaks down all the details of the very long Sony Conference. James, Michael, Cameron and Delvin breakdown the games that were announced such as Destiny, LittleBigPlanet 3 and the re-releases making a big splash this year.

A lot happened and didn’t happen in this conference at the same time, but the guys dive into all the details and share our thoughts.

Did Sony win E3 again this year? What are your thoughts?

Episode 19 – Last Gen, Reunited

As the next-gen is officially here, James, Cameron and Michael decide to look back on the previous console generation and discuss the best, the worst and SoulCalibur Legends — it’s in its own category. They don’t completely shirk the next-gen wagon; Michael discusses his PS4 and the crew discusses the Xbox One launch, as well as the news of the week.

The guys also talk about what they’ve been playing over the last week (including Super Mario 3D World), Michael discovered that Killzone: Shadow Fall wasn’t all that great in the end, and Cameron has a computer sob story that results in the briefest moment of silence.

What are your thoughts on last-gen? What console did you buy first? Which did you prefer? What is the best thing to come from last-gen? The worst? Let us know in the comments below or on Twitter or Facebook.

Episode 18 – PS4 and Things Because Reasons

After a one week hiatus, the boys are back to chat your ears off about PS4, Blizzcon and other news highlights.

Join Cameron, James, Michael and Delvin as they share what games of the week they’ve been playing as well. Michael gives us the T on his PS4 and shares his impressions on Killzone: Shadow Fall, Knack, Resogun and more.

Also, in this week’s episode we’re using our new microphone, so apologies for the sound levels this week (auto volume was turned on by accident). We will work it out in the coming weeks.

Episode 17 – Objection!

It’s a VG Realness three-man crew this week. Join Delvin, James and Michael as they discuss the newest Ace Attorney game, Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies. You won’t object when they also talk about their impressions from Gamercamp, getting hands-on with some of Nintendo’s holiday releases (with extra commentary expanding on our videos from last week), and all of the hottest news of the week.

Also: in a VG Realness first, the guys play a few rounds of The Metagame — a card debate game about games and culture — that is currently holding a Kickstarter. Which do you think will save the world? Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Cats: The Musical? (Thanks again to Eric Zimmerman, Colleen Macklin and John Sharp for sending us an preview deck!)

Did you go to Gamercamp? What did you think? What did you play? Leave a comment or tweet at us!

Also, we’ve worked on fixing our audio levels, so please let us know what you think. Send us a tweet with #VGRealnessMyEarsAreBleeding and let us know if there’s more we need to change.
