Defining Duke, Episode 166 | A NEW Xbox Showcase Appears... - Did It Deliver?!
Added 2024-03-07 17:00:12 +0000 UTCThis week featured the second ever Xbox Partner Preview! Consisting of 14 different games, Xbox shined a spotlight on AA partners, made some Game Pass announcements, and had a shadow drop to boot. The Dukes dive deep into each game individually and rank the showcase shortly therafter! We also get into the loss of Toys For Bob who announced that they'll be going indepedent while maintaining a partnership with Microsoft. Have they managed to escape the Call Of Duty sweatshop and will others request the same? As we see Embracer shedding off two studios of its own, the Dukes wonder who the next domino to fall will be. Plus, Starfield's March update, a Spongebob Xbox Series X for sale, Warner Bros. stampeding against its own momentum, and much more!

Hey Dukes, as much as we want a fallout remaster, are we being demanding of Bethesda if at the same we are annoyed at the lack of updates to starfield? Perhaps it was all hands on deck to get starfield released, so fallout remastered got delayed? Do you know if the remaster is being made internally at Bethesda? Not attacking you guys but it might be worth taking into account.

2024-03-11 21:07:43 +0000 UTCthe thing is, i bet that you will get access to community mods at some point, since both skyrim and fallout 4 had that on xbox, it must may take a while to get content that way. but I do think your series S to play starfield will pay off eventuall.y

2024-03-08 16:52:28 +0000 UTCJust started this episode after a pretty emotional morning from seeing Akira’s passing.. and the first thing discussed is Matty’s DBZ shirt. I’ll be alright, but man.. we really lost a legend.

2024-03-08 15:31:09 +0000 UTCMatty I love you. I also loved not hearing you read reviews of DD on DD. It brings the whole show to a screeching hault. Also it's kind of a middle finger to those of us that pay for patreon access and don't get our question read during the show. Then JimBob69 on Spotify shits out a half assed review and gets read on the show. Please stop!!!! Thanks for the rest of the podcast tho

2024-03-08 13:31:55 +0000 UTC"Up triangle".... Tekken isn't being played on the box Boys? Is there no cross play or something ? Edit: this isn't a troll question. Genuinely interested in the platform choice because I thought the box was the preferred platform.

2024-03-08 11:33:05 +0000 UTCYou only need to be at $2 for that. Could’ve been Patreon bugging out.

2024-03-08 03:43:45 +0000 UTCDoes the $5 Patreon level not allow us to ask questions on the weekly thread? Got a message saying I needed to go up to the $7 plan. Thanks.

2024-03-07 23:47:12 +0000 UTCYou both matched my sentiment for Starfield perfectly. I am a "Sony Pony" who bought a series s just for Starfield. I loved it, played a few hundred hrs, made it to hunter armor, and have nothing to draw me back. I had such high hopes for post release content, but neigh. Hopefully that changes. Lastly, if Starfield comes to PS I'm absolutely buying it day one. I would love to play it on my much beefier PS.
