The FUNCAST!The FUNCAST 055: Todd "The Star God" Howard is at it again!Video Game Announcement Month has commenced, and today we take a look at the incredibly long and incredibly dense Xbox conference! Mostly, because some of it did spill over into the Ubisoft event, and carried forward from the Summer Games Fest show. So really it's only a mostly Xbox/Microsoft episode. But boy, what a conference - and that doesn't even count the near hour long deep dive into the upcoming Everything and Forever game Starfield! Buckle up your space pants for blast off!

We have a lot to say, but for your benefit, we kept it to only 80 minutes, almost entirely focused on things as they are in the world before you do a dungeon. There are some minor spoilers for that stuff, and for a couple of the things outside this scope (but they are pretty contextless I think, so it's fine!!!) but otherwise is just some friends chatting up a storm about a really fantastic adventure.

No Mario movie, but how about some Dungeons and Dragons instead? Or perhaps the two weeks of Stuff Getting Cancelled?

Things that actually seem like bad ideas include: EA delisting a bunch of gold games, Atari buying studios, Asset Packs filled with stolen goods, and making mobile phone only semi-sequels to Persona 5.
Good Ideas include listening to us talk about Diablo 4, Sun Haven, and having Daniel (sort of poorly I'm sorry it was a long night and I was tired) explain SPIN RHYTHM XD.2023-03-271h 21

All *five* E-Sports ones, the four or five Indie Game categories that really could be three different ones, the bizarre choices and infuriating exclusions, all here! For some reason.
We even find some time to get in some thoughts about the much analyzed and much derided Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Turns out, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, even when it can't see very well.

Weird videogame carny rumours in Nier Automata, and Rockstar cleaning up their own internal messes.

Andrew's internet exploded part way in, and we had to just deal with contacting him from the great beyond. Sorry about that! It sure didn't stop us from talking about the gaping void left in our hearts from the sudden and shocking disappearance of everyone's favourite videogame: Fast & Furious: Crossroads.

We also dive into the newest TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER, a game that sure seems like it could be good, but much like an Ogre, it has a lot of layers to grind down first.

Andrew fills us in on his Global Game Jam experience, we discuss all there is to see and do in two very large new games, and see if we can construct a bridge into our hearts with our latest Gamepass Game Club game.

Microsoft is in the news again across the pond, Unity loves dogfighting, NVIDIA gives up, and NetEase caught themselves a Yakuza.

But not before we talk about Crown Trick, the turn based, actually Rogue-like dungeon crawler from NExT Studios.

We also get around some fun EA related technical problems and select the next game for us to play, and dunk on NFTs again, because for some reason the industry hasn't learned its lesson yet.
