Days Gone came to PlayStation 4 more than five years ago, and though it sold very well, a sequel hasn't been greenlit, and will almost certainly never be. So why are we still talking about it? Because the civil war that fractured Bend Studio after Days Gone's release has left a sour taste in some folks' mouths. Fair enough. But ultimately, we've all got to move on, and a public airing of grievances -- while personally satisfactory, no doubt -- solves very little. We discuss. Other news this week includes the cancellation of Netflix's in-development Horizon TV series, Sony confirming it will have a presence at Tokyo Game Show for the first time since 2019, reports of SEGA's Crazy Taxi reboot being an MMO, and more. We wrap up our snug lil episode with inquiries from the audience, per usual. If we had complete immunity as the President of Gaming, how would we abuse our power? Are we attracted to the speedrunning scene? How is Elon Musk's Neuralink already changing the way people interact with games? Is Dustin a fake PlayStation fan?Timestamps:0:00:00 - Intro0:32:14 - Six years of Sacred0:38:44 - 126 degree party0:51:31 - Angry Colin?1:01:12 - Dustin exposed/canceled?1:12:20 - The Getaway issues1:17:27 - Days Gone Drama1:29:53 - Horizon Netflix canceled1:36:22 - New PlayStation collectibles1:40:39 - Sony at TGS1:47:53 - Dead Rising details1:54:16 - Star Wars Outlaws goes gold1:56:27 - Crazy Taxi reboot2:04:57 - What we're playing?2:25:37 - Presidential Gaming immunity2:33:28 - Castlevania speed run2:40:04 - Waiting to play games2:41:48 - Neuralink gaming2:52:27 - Game within games2:57:04 - Goodbye to goodbyes
