Super Joystiq Podcast Special: Gamescom 2014 Day 2
An American McGee/Alice joke almost destroyed this one, but the crew proved that they are true heroes and powered through.
It's day two Gamescom 2014, and things don't get much bigger and crazier than this outside of E3. Microsoft and Sony both held their big press conferences, and there were a serious amount of announcements. Here's a taste: Tomb Raider is an Xbox One exclusive, Sony has sold 10 million PS4s, and PlayStation has a number of fresh-looking new games on the way. Do yourself a favor and jump past the break for a more complete list of links, and check in on the full PlayStation and Xbox press conference round-ups.
We'll be back tomorrow with guests– so many guests.
