Facebook Gaming has joined the ranks of Microsoft and Google as the latest to get hit with weird gaming restrictions from the App Store. Apple insists that these restrictions are to keep GAMERS safe, which in practice sounds great - but then why are they so lenient with other apps that don't directly compete with their OWN gaming business? Hmmmmmmmm interesting. Almost like they don't wanna host any competition on their platforms! Join us as we chat about the details on today's Inside Gaming Daily.

Apple Hits FB Gaming With Shady Restrictions - Inside Gaming Daily

Last week kicked off a pretty serious console exclusive content discourse when Playstation announced on their blog earlier last week that Spider-Man would be coming to Marvel’s Avengers but as a Playstation exclusive character. Dang what is this 2013? Sony obviously holds the Spider-Man license and it is within their right to do this but does that make it right? Kdin, Amir and Evan run it back and try to remember their favorite and least favorite console content exclusives while also addressing the broader topic... Should we HATE Console Exclusive Content?

Yesterday, US President and orange man Donald Trump signed an executive order that says  ByteDance (parent company of WeChat) and Tencent (parent company of TikTok) are now enemies of the state and a threat to national security. The order was vaguely worded but data collection and data mining have been tied to WeChat and TikTok - so in 45 days transactions related to either service and their parent companies will be prohibited! This implicates a lot of very big video games and publishers because TenCent owns, oh ya know, EVERYTHING. Epic and Fortnite come to mind immediately as well as Riot and League of Legends. Even video game website Fanbyte is owned by Tencent. So what does this all mean for our precious videogames? Well stick around and find out, right here on Inside Gaming Daily.

Is Trump Banning Fortnite? - Inside Gaming Daily

It’s become common for everyone to dump on the latest and greatest digital event showcasing games this summer. Everyone constantly seems disappointed, and PlayStation’s August State of Play was no different - but this time there’s actually something worthy of a good rage. One of the games shown, Aeon Must Die!, brought attention to a major scandal between the games developer (Limestone Games) and their publisher (Focus Home Interactive). Don’t worry, it’s not all bad news! We’re also rounding up other highlights from the State of Play that don’t include theft and villainy. Well... Nintendo DID announce Pikmin 3 Deluxe and then immediately the original Pikmin 3 down from the eshop... so maybe this is a downer episode. We have got a new Dr. Disrespect sighting and it looks like he’s gonna be on YouTube for a while...maybe?? Who even knows anymore. Lastly, we're talking about why Apple has refused cloud gaming services to exist on the app store. Of course there’s a 5-Second Review of Carrion and THAT’S NOT ALL! Rocksteady Studios finally announced Suicide Squad. Anyways, Brian’s still on vacation but hopefully this substantially packed edition of the Weekend Roundup will keep you satiated while we all wait for his return.

Microsoft's cloud gaming service, xCloud, has been more than a whisper on the wind for a while now - and it looks like it’s finally getting a launch date of September 15th! There’s one problem though: seems like xCloud will be skipping Apple devices all together for the initial roll out. On the upside, according to a post on Xbox Wire, the service will support over 100 games at launch which is pretty cool...unless you have an iphone or ipad. Another great detail is that service will be included into Ultimate Game Pass memberships. Awesome! Buuuut it looks like xCloud is only initially coming to 22 regions around the world...oh for crying out loud... we’re gonna need a data table to see who can actually use the service aren’t we? Okay, okay… that wasn’t a great joke but you should be proud of us. We got through a whole description for Inside Gaming Daily without dunking on Stadia.

An Activision Blizzard earnings call earlier this week turned our heads when the company's president, Robert Kostich, didn’t give a straight answer in regards to a question about pricing for next-gen titles. Seems simple enough - if Activision’s game prices were going to stay the same they would have just said so. However, the Activision Blizzard president deflected and talked about how much “extra entertainment value” the new next-gen titles are going to have...and we all know what that means. Activision is just the next in line waiting to charge $70 for all games moving into the future.

Former PlayStation Executive, Shahid Ahmad, has gone on record stating that the launch of PS4 could quite possibly have been the end of PlayStation as we know it. Of course, we always knew that the PS4 was going to have an uphill battle due to the shortcomings of the PS3’s launch and life-cycle but to hear former execs equate the PS4’s success to life and death for the brand is certainly a new perspective. This behind the scenes look comes to us from early screenings and a trailer for a new PlayStation documentary making the rounds and it’s pretty clear with some of the big names attached that we’ll be getting all sorts of new perspectives to consider throughout the history of the platform. The documentary is called Bedrooms to Billions: The PlayStation Revolution and will release on September 7th 2020 but until then we’ll be right here on Inside Gaming Daily reading the tea leaves and determining if in fact, like a river, the past does repeat itself with the upcoming launch of the PS5.

PS4 Could’ve Failed Sony - Inside Gaming Daily

War never changes. At least that’s what Solid Snake told me and I am pretty sure he was specifically talking about the console wars - and it’s about to get ugly on Inside Gaming.  Microsoft finally had their big Xbox Studios showcase and that means we can compare it to Sony’s big PS5 reveal that took place earlier this summer. Conor moderates a no holds bar debate between Zach (PS5) and Evan (Xbox) about which next-gen console had a better showcase this summer. Okay, we’re talking this up a little too much… it’s not really a debate it’s more of a contemplative review. Come hang out. It’ll be nice.

Valve boss Gabe Newell picked his side in the console wars this week when he appeared on a New Zealand talk show to talk mess about the PS5. Okay well not really, he was just asked which one was better and he said Xbox. Of course, this simple back and forth will be used to fuel the great flames of the ever consuming console debate that rages everytime a new generation of hardware arrives. Honestly, we can’t complain though - because whoever loses, we all win. We get to make a video about it and you get to watch it in another edition of Inside Gaming Daily!!!

Steam Boss says Series X is better than PS5 - Inside Gaming Daily

It’s fair to say the Xbox Studios Summer Showcase left a lot of Halo fans (and anxious Series X stans) with more questions than answers. Particularly, a majority felt underwhelmed by the graphical fidelity of Halo Infinite. So, today on Send News we’re asking: what do you do to freshen up a decade-old franchise? What will it take for Halo Infinite to reclaim the franchise’s glory days? In addition, Brian, Alanah, Conor and Evan take a moment to reflect on their time playing Ghost of Tsushima and consequently write a haiku (not really but we should have). Of course, we’re also talking about the news this week! Star Citizen fans are finally saying “Enough Is Enough!” when it comes to Cloud Imperium’s lack of updates, and Superdata compares metrics on this summer's game showcases with last year’s E3. Sit down and have a listen to all this and more on this week’s episode of Inside Gaming Presents: Send News! 

00:00:00 - Intro
00:00:36 - Can Halo Infinite make a comeback?
00:21:17 - Talking Ghost of Tsushima
00:38:14 - Star Citizen fans are finally pissed
00:52:23 - Is E3 really dead?

E3 is dead. Okay well, more dead than we previously thought. New data collected by research group Superdata has shown that this summer’s online events have managed to match and surpass the number of viewers of E3’s biggest keynotes. What was once video gaming’s home for the biggest and best announcements is now a big question mark for the industry as whole. If developers and publishers don’t need a mega event to round up attention than what will incentivize them to spend big bucks on booth space and return when things “go back to normal”? So fill up your flask, and queue up you favorite rendition of greensleeves, for the bell tolls for E3 today on Inside Gaming Daily

We’re back and yep! We’re still talking about Star Citizen. After yesterday's blow up, it looks like the developers behind the world’s most expensive unfinished game have replied to the outcry of fans calling foul. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a straight forward announcement with a projected release date or a roadmap of expected updates. Noooooo! That would be all too easy. Instead Star Citizen fans were treated to a road map of the road map of updates. Still following? Good so are we! Forever. This never gets old. Tune in to Inside Gaming Daily tomorrow for another daily update of Star Citizen… oh dang… maybe they hire us? They could certainly afford it.

Gaming's biggest Kickstarter game in history, Star Citizen, is back in the news as fans grow restless with the lack of updates from the games developer Cloud Imperium. Particularly there’s a lack of updates around the studios single player “add-on” game, Squadron 42, which features big star power like Mark Hamil and Gary Oldman. While fans are anticipating delays and bad news, this is particularly frustrating because of the amount of money raised by fans in the meantime. Come commiserate with us on today’s Inside Gaming Daily.

Photo Mode In Ghost of Tsushima Rules! - Inside Gaming Feature

The Xbox Summer Showcase finally happened, but there have been some CROSSED wires when it comes to CROSS-gen (haha, a joke). Leading up to the Xbox first-party showcase, Xbox boss Phil Spencer blogged that all Xbox Exclusives would be cross-gen for the next couple of years. However, games that were announced for the Xbox exclusively during the showcase have not been listed as being available on the Xbox One. OOoooooo SCANDAL! If lies weren’t bad enough, some concerning reports say we are about to start experiencing the impact of Covid-19 in the games industry. At least it’s not all doom and gloom this weekend because it looks like we’ve got 4K 60fps mode coming alongside the release of Spider-Man: Miles Morales - also, Metacritic is finally deciding to do something about those pesky review bombers. And lastly, this week's Roundup wouldn’t be complete without a 5-Second Review of Paper Mario: The Origami King. Have a good one!

TAKE A KNEE! The US Military has hit a new low while attempting to use Twitch as an armed services recruitment platform. In the COOLEST of fashions, they ran a fake contest on their own Twitch channel! Neat! It featured a clickable link to win an Xbox Elite 2 controller which aaactually just sent participants to a recruitment page, whoopsies! In response to the dubious act, U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said recently that she plans to file a measure to stop the military from using games and esports to recruit people. Sure, some might be willing to give the military the benefit of the doubt... I mean, not like this is the first weird scammy thing the army’s ever done, RIGHT? Join us today on Inside Gaming and read between the lines to learn everything the government doesn’t want you to know!
