You would think there wasn’t some big event happening in less than a week with all of these leaks and early announcements coming BEFORE E3 2016 itself. We get into all of those, give our thoughts, and also have some E3 2016 Predictions too. We dive into the Watch Dogs 2 reveal, Deep Silver’s new “Agents of Mayhem” reveal, Square-Enix gave release dates for Kingdom Hearts 2.8, World of Final Fantas...

In our last episode before heading into full E3 mode, there’s a surprising amount of things to talk about and also games out there to sink your teeth into as well. Next week will be our E3 2016 Preview edition, but for this one, you get some more of the regular stuff. Nintendo played their hand and revealed there is in fact more than just Zelda Wii U from them at E3. Vivendi could be coming for Ub...

As we get closer to one of the biggest dates on the calendar for video games, the rumors, speculation, and reports will continue to come in and we’ve spoken a bunch about Nintendo, Sony had their time with the PS4 NEO, now we find out what Microsoft is doing with their codename Xbox Scorpio. Apparently it may not just be a Xbox 1.5 either, it could be four times as powerful, have 4K, and even part...

Here we are once again, talking about what’s been happening in video games. Marc isn’t feeling his best after having a few Wisdom teeth pulled a few days ago, so Randy Isbelle from the “Backlog Busting Project” podcast and fellow 411 writer joins us on this episode. We discuss if Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot is right when he says video games are headed towards streaming, without consoles, within ano...

It’s back down to the usual two hosts for this episode, but don’t worry, we have plenty to talk about on this edition of the podcast. It looks like each week we are going to have to address a new rumor with the Nintendo NX and this week it is about them possibly using cartridges again. Are there positives to not using discs? Could this really mean that there will be a portable version of the conso...

It’s that time once again for us to discuss what’s happening in the world of Video Games. We are starting to get into the hype for E3 2016 and some small details are beginning to come out about what could be revealed at the show. This week, the big one is more rumors spreading about Microsoft having new hardware and even a new controller to unveil at E3, but that’s not all as Microsoft is doing a...

Another week and once again we get big news, I’m beginning to like how these news cycles are turning out. Nintendo has revealed that the Nintendo NX will release in March 2017, but we won’t know anything until some time after E3 2016. Is it a good idea for Nintendo to skip E3? When do we expect for this NX event to occur? And what could be the price tag? Also, Nintendo delayed Zelda Wii U to 2017...

Well, it did not take long for these PS4.5 rumors to grow some legs and there are already documents out there that have leaked the specs for the system as well. There also sources saying the Xbox 1.5 may not be a myth either, but now that this is really out there, what does this do to the Video Game industry? Are we starting to see a change in how consoles won’t last for a long time? Could this se...

Well, lots of things happened on Sean's trip to Texas and while it was certainly eventful for many reasons, it also kind of prevented him from doing a podcast that wasn't wrestling related. So, now that he's back home and in the groove of the regular schedule again, it is time to return to discussing video games, since this podcast is called Video Games 2 the MAX and all. This week, we discuss the...

Well, it has finally happened! Sony have revealed the price of PSVR and it is a whopping $399, which is without the PS Camera and PS MOVE controller you need to use the device. Should Sony have made it cheaper? Why not announce all of the extra peripherals needed straight away? Do you think this will sell well? Could people actually use this to play PS4 games without a TV? We try to answer these q...

Well, you may have noticed that the podcast is under a different name. Don't worry, we didn't go anywhere, Sean and Marc are still here and not a whole lot is changing either. It's just called Video Games 2 the MAX. This week, Marc talks about his time with Far Cry Primal and Super Hot, while Sean talks about Toki Tori 2 and BroForce. We discuss the possibility of upgradeable consoles, forward com...

We really have to stop doing this long layoff thing, it isn’t good for our morale. Once again, it is totally unintentional, but at least we have some things to talk about on the podcast today. Could the Playstation VR price be revealed at Sony’s VR event at the Game Developers Conference in March? Are any of these prices listed the right one? Six million people played The Division Beta, we were tw...

It has been a bit, but we are back looking at what's been going on in Video Games for the past few weeks, plus we've played quite a few games as well. Marc talks about his time with XCOM 2, Firewatch, American Truck Simulator and Tron R Sean talks about Nitroplus Blasterz Heroines Infinite Duel and Megadimension Neptunia VII Respawn have confirmed that Titanfall 2 will have a single player campaig...

So once again Nintendo is in the news, hey we aren't complaining because it gives us stuff to talk about. Bandai Namco is apparently working on Nintendo NX games and there could even be a Super Smash Bros. game at launch. Not to mention, they are about to release a new Pikachu spin-off game. EA is also in the news for two different reasons, as they may have accidentally revealed the current Xbox O...

It seems like this will be a never ending story until Nintendo gets ahead of it. More rumors have come out about the Nintendo NX, this time though, we have some concrete numbers attached to them and also some crazy speculation that could change the way we think about consoles forever if true. Do Sean and Marc believe any of these rumors? what do they entail exactly? Well, let's just say we could s...

With another unintended partial week off, we are back to discuss what's been happening in video games. Could the next Assassin's Creed game really be pushed to 2017? How far into completion is Quantum Break? The Nintendo NX has another report discussing a 2016 release date, are we convinced? There's also the price for the Oculus Rift and the belief that VR will be big business this year, Watch Dog...

The holidays has made it hard for us to get together and do a podcast, but we've finally found a day that works and thus let's us squeeze one more show into 2015. There isn't a ton of news, so the bulk of the podcast will be spent looking back at the year that was. Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison discuss their Top 10 Games of 2015, which were two of 12 people that contributed to the overall 411 Game...

Well, it's been a couple weeks and a lot has happened since we last had a podcast. Nintendo had their final Direct of 2015 and the Game Awards and Playstation Experience 2015 have occurred and at least there were quite a few things to discuss out of it. Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison discuss what they thought about all three of those events in detail, what were some of the best announcements? Are w...

We know it has been a little bit, but the holidays are upon us and that means Sean has to work a bunch of extra hours, thus making it a little more difficult to play video games. However, we have two weeks worth of news to discuss and we also played quite a few games (new and old) in that time as well. Today, we discuss what could be shown at Playstation Experience 2015 as for as surprises and mor...

This week Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison discuss everything that was announced at the Nintendo Direct from last week. How big is the news of Cloud Strife being in Smash Bros? Will Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess HD be a huge hit for the Wii U? We ponder that and more from the Direct, including lots of RPG announcements. We also take the time to discuss an article by Kotaku that brings some contro...

We apologize for not having an episode for a few weeks, but we are back with a fully packed show including reactions to what was announced and shown at Blizzcon 2015. Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison also discuss some of the financial announcements from Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and Capcom. Crystal Dynamics saying they are 50/50 on a new Legacy of Kain game, Konami shutting down the former Kojima Pr...
