Does the Games Industry Have a Remake Problem?

Finally! I've been joined by a guest, and it's none other than my good friend Spectral Division - please check him out here on YouTube and subscribe to his channel:https://www.youtube.com/@SpectralDivisionIHMThis week is a BUMPER episode with a long and frankly, interesting deep dive into a franchise we both enjoy, Assassin's Creed. Since its first iteration many moons ago, AC continues to be one of gaming's most divisive franchises, and we discuss it all ahead of Black Flag Resynced's release next week.We also discuss GTA VI and the pre-order situation, as well as PlayStation's latest announcement that has caused uproar on the Internet (just another Wednesday then...)

Welcome back to Gaming Ramble Weekly and this week we're back on the Xbox train, and exploring the impact that Game Pass has had on both Xbox, and the industry itself! I dive deep into how consumer behaviour has changed as a result of the introduction of Game Pass, and how the beginning of Xbox's downfall can be seen through many of the poor decisions surrounding Game Pass.

Welcome back to the Gaming Ramble Weekly Podcast! This week, I'm discussing the Ocarina of Time remake announcement and the trend of remakes we seem to be seeing across the industry. Is this really as good as it seems? I also talk about the latest news from XBOX and the worrying signs of more studio closures.

It's been quite the week, with 4 different showcases and a whole lot of video game announcements to get stuck into! In today's episode, I break down the biggest ones, and give my thoughts on what is one of my favourite weeks of the year!

Following on from Last week, we're examining the state in which Cyberpunk 2077 released, and the ramifications that had on the reputation of CDPR!
