Just a note for the show – Labor Day is next week here so we won’t be back live until September the 6th.
With Gamescom come and gone we’re sort of set for the year on upcoming releases. I mean, there’s plenty of releases to come but I don’t see anything too surprising to show up that we didn’t already know about – except for where Nintendo stands. They do their own thing on their own time – and that only relates to first party titles.
The next big gaming thing we’re looking at next will be the Game Awards. That overly long advertisement for games with an award or two thrown in for good measure. But that’s in December.
Right now, we’re getting into the “-ber” months, and my usual situation there is that whatever you might want, if you can wait, might be better bought at a discount come November or December. It fluctuates as far as what you might be interested in and if it’s worth waiting for a discount. For instance, I’m looking forward to Ball X Pit. I don’t know the price yet on that title, but it’s not likely something I’ll sit on. You probably have a few games like that as well.
In the meantime, I’ll continue looking for a game to hold me over for a while. I’ll try again today to see what grabs me and go from there.
Maybe I’ll go back to an old Splinter Cell game considering there’s no risk of getting burned out on that title before a new one is released. Ubisoft, it has been 4,388 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released.
Also, there’s been 3,563 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2025.
