That is correct, I just wanted to add though that there is a hack that allows it to be played on PC, which is what Ian might have played.

ALSO THIS WEEK: Heck yes! News blast has a name! (I'm sure it did before but I missed it). On the Alex Kidd remake let me throw out there for everyone that it's a Sonic Mania style story where a handful of fans (2 or 3 I think) worked their ass off on a remake and Sega gave it their blessing to become official. I've gotten to watch it slowly take shape on twitter and it's a feel good story.

Correction: RE:VII VR is PSVR only.

Mitchell Collier

Jonesy, isn't it about time you introduced a 'oh I just can't wait for next gen' bit into the podcast!

Alex Moscow

CORRECTION: you put Goodbye Volcano High in the TDB section, and stated it has no release date, when the trailer, shown in the presentation, stated release as 2021.

Hey Jones, Great podcast as usual. Just a piece of constructive criticism: I understand there is a lot to get through in this type of situation, and the podcast is even longer than normal to accommodate that. But (and maybe even especially so in a situation where you are essentially going through a list of things to talk about) it would be nice to let some of the natural conversations flourish organically rather than cut them off to move on to the next bullet point. I understand there are situations where no particular panelist has much to say on a given game and it is quickly moved past to the next thing, but (for example) the potential conversation of Ikumi Nakamura's departure and Ghostwire Tokyo's change in tone was something I hadn't considered but could have been an interesting discussion. Instead it was not really engaged with and you quickly moved on to talking about the next game. I think most people listening to the EZA Podcast are broadly aware of what the announcements are, and do want to know what the Allies think of each one... ultimately though I always value deeper conversation on any given topic rather than simply summarizing official announcements in a bullet-like format. That's all I wanted to say. I know there are still growing pains picking up the reigns and overall you're doing a fabulous job. I continue to look forward to hearing y'alls thoughts every week. Wait, while I'm here, also one minor correction: Kena is not TBD, it is confirmed for Holiday 2020. And one last thing... I love when Damiani does a deep dive. Ignore the whiners in chat. I totally agree that this new Square project looks like it may have evolved from the Agni's Philosophy concept. L&R

Dang Jones. I recommended Corvo v. Adam Jensen for 2 weeks in a row so the 3rd week I decided to not bother. Then Cody mentions it and you pick it. That's just cold-blooded. It's quite the battle and why I wanted it brought on the show. Regardless, least it made it onto the show and talked about.

Corvo can stop time but Jensen can't, so I think Corvo would win every time because of that.
