It’s a rather tame Podcast Beyond this week with just Chris, Greg and Ryan in on this one. The first piece of news is a sad one. Developer of Wanted, Terminator Salvation, Bionic Commando and more, GRIN, has closed up shop. They pumped out a lot of games in a short, but they were all rather middling and didn’t sell too well, so this is what happens.
The main discussion here is the quickly approaching games convention in Germany, Gamescom. Although not too many huge announcements are expected, the rumors of a new slim version of the PS3 and a potential price drop won’t go away. They guys share their views on the probability of these and a few other things happening during the show which starts on the 19th of this month.
And Greg Miller’s new, inactive, Twitter account is: @gameovergreggy
Covered games and topics: GRIN dead, Guitar Hero 5, releases, Gamescom, trophies coming to MGS4, price drop?, Batman Arkham Asylum, emails
Chris, Greg and Ryan are about to part ways, as Ryan is on his way to Germany this weekend. That’s right — it’s a road trip of epic proportions! To celebrate Ryan’s imminent departure, the team discusses what they think will happen at the very first Gamescom show in Cologne. Will the PS3 Slim be revealed? Will a new Final Fantasy be announced? Will a SingStar mascot (Mikey the Microphone) be introduced to the world? All this and more! Don’t miss it.
