Hi-Fi Rush Survives Being Shut Down # 410

Video Games 2 the MAX

In an out-of-nowhere situation, Hi-Fi Rush Survives being shut down along with the studio that made the award-winning game, Tango Gameworks, as the publisher of PUBG and Callisto Protocol, Krafton Inc., has purchased the IP and studio from Microsoft. Essentially, it saves the studio and invites its former employees to return as well. Sean is joined for one more week by Randy Isbelle to discuss the surprising news, if a Hi-Fi Rush 2 without much of its dev team could still live up to what made the first game so beloved, and what else could come from this studio?
Also, some more info on Destiny 2 and Marathon a week after the disappointing Bungie layoffs, Max Payne 1 & 2 Remasters and Control 2 are in good shape, should actors play the games if they are going to be in a film or TV series about them? Borderlands Movie is not good, Doom 1 & 2 Enchanced Editions, Our favorite announcements from the D23 2024 event and more!
