A follow up to 2013's Tomb Raider reboot. After the events of the previous game, Lara spends one year searching to explain what she saw. Her quest to explain immortality leads her to Siberia, home of a mythical city known as Kitezh.
"Negative Chromostereopsis" is one of the words I learnt this year and so are “post-truth” and “Brexit”. But while there's a lot of bad stuff to take away from this year you can also learn about the great year of games we’ve had and the SaladCast is ready to educate you. There’s also some sucky stuff for balance and fun but let’s celebrate! This special SUPER-LONG episode has us figuring the best of the best that we saw and honoring them with possibly the least prestigious GOTY on the internet.
Rob often gets a bit of a ribbing from his cohorts about what he considers newsworthy for the cast but this week fate leaves Zac in charge of Rob's list... so some stuff may get a bit ignored.
This week we have new PC’s, XCOM 2, maintenance, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Day of the Tentacle: Remastered, steering wheel updates, Pokémon GO and gums.
CS:GO gambling is shady. Everyone’s on the take.
The E3 ship has sailed and taken most of news with it so let's catch up on some game!
This episode serves up some Starfox Guard, MGS, Zelda, Factorio, Quantum Break, Tomb Raider and Mirror’s Edge Catalyst.
The Wii U really wants you to know about Nintendo Direct. It's really important to it that you watch it in action and give it your warm encouragement. In fact it won’t shut up about it. Beeping and dinging and jingling in the corner of the room. Frustratingly needy thing. You know sometings it makes you feel like you could just.... oh shh shh, it’s coming over.
Hey Wii U how’s it going? What you got there? A suspiciously heavy looking lead pipe with Mario Tennis written on it? Better cut to the SaladCast before I listen to everything you could possibly say you wonderful console you.
To all those who went to EGX 2015, I have to clap my hands. Finally a show where the crowd isn't composed of annoying idiots who barge their way through to get anywhere, treading on toes as they do. You make music concerts look thoroughly uncivilised... which is probably the point in a lot of cases but I’m still impressed. See you next year my people.
Needless to say there’s a lot of EGX coverage this week but there’s just enough time for Zac to cover his tabletop adventures too.
Circumstances entirely of Rob's creation haver lead to a one week delay in the SaladCast delivery schedule and typically, a major event occurred. Gamescom carries a heavy Microsoft slant giving us a press conference to cover in our usual style and 3 weeks of gap gives us quite a few games to chat about. Do we cover everything? "Who knows?".
