Super Joystiq Podcast Special: Gamescom 2013 Day 2
Gamescom 2013 marches on, and number two of five Super Joystiq Podcast Specials is here.
Yesterday featured insight from a group of indie developers, today's show features fellow members of the press. Alexander, Richard, Jess, Sinan, and guests discuss what is likely to be the biggest news day of the show, with presentations from Microsoft, EA, and Sony. Microsoft revealed its full launch lineup slated for November, EA went over its catalog of upcoming releases, and Sony doubled-down on its indie push and revealed November 15 (US), and November 29 (EU), release dates for the PlayStation 4.
We also have another amazing prize to give away from The Great Gamescom Podcast Giveaways of 2013!
