GI Show – The Outer Worlds, Apex Legends, EDF Interview
Game Informer’s Ben Hanson, Joe Juba, and Matt Miller share exclusive new impressions of Obsidian’s upcoming RPG The Outer Worlds. Then Javy Gwaltney, Dan Tack, and Matt Bertz join the show to break down all of the smart design choices in…
In regards to the PS4 controller discussion, I personally do not like off-set sticks at all, which is why I prefer the dual shock over the X-Box controller hands down. That being said, I do use a Scuff Impact, but won't purchase the newer one that has the off-set sticks.
How long was our character asleep in Outer Worlds???
We need another Ben and Dan battle royale stream
Increase in emails seems to correlate with increased views since the start of 2019. You guys have had a lot of great exclusive coverage that seems to have helped. Congrats! I love seeing my favorite podcast getting more love. ^_^
Honestly can’t disagree more with you guys about Apex Legends map design. I think it’s absolutely the best BR map ever made, with a perfect balance of big open spaces and close quarters engagement spaces, and it has the best system for bridging those distances. The game has verticality that no other Battle Royale has mastered, that feels so much more satisfying than fortnite ever has to me, with zip lines and climbing being a perfectly limited movement scheme to allow for movement strategy that is way more nuanced than the other BRs.
I’m guessing this has already been mentioned, but the email of the week was just a variation on a popular Reddit thread asking the same question but about making a movie.
I don't think matt bertz got the proper recognition for that stoned dew valley pun (thats a pun right? Lol) Unless that's been said somewhere else
The way Hansen horribly caressed the "big board" after he placed the pin this week made me laugh so damn hard. 2:15:19
To save our mother earth from any alien attack
From viscous giant insects who have once again come back
We'll unleash all our forces we wont cut them any slack
The e.d.f deploys
Our forces are prepared for any alien threats
The navy sends their ships,the air force sends their jets
And nothing can withstand our fixed bayonets
The e.d.f deploys
Our forces have now dwindled and pull back to regroup
The enemy has multiplied and formed a massive group
We better beat these bugs before we're all turned to soup
THE E.D.F DEPLOYS!!!
Haha calling out dan about that make a pc challenge! I was just thinking about that the other day and how he pretty much gave up since its been what like 2 years?
I very much appreciate that GI is isolated from the west coast, yall have a very unique culture compared to the rest of the main stream games industry that i enjoy. Much more relaxed and real and yall arent pushing political bias into your content either like everyone from San Fran.
TACK FORCE WE IN HERE
edit: s/o Wooter
Sunless Skies looks crazy weird and cool. With Dan's glowing endorsement, I'm for sure in
"There's some buzz alright" is an underappreciated joke.
Wooster Swootens is a cooler name than Sind
1:55:45 technicality no down boo over???
Romances really do nothing for me in a game . Even in Fire Emblem which I love I could care less about reproducing
I watch all the shows on IGN as well but this show is the highlight of my week as far as gaming podcasts go . You guys are awesome ??
Shea: "HAPPINESS."

That censored email was one of the best things on the podcast. Thank you.
Also I cannot wait for Outer Worlds.
I sNorted when Hanson brought out the Extra Life pop for the EDF interview
Just won my first game in apex legends. Loving it so far
Guy in the middle needs to work on not saying "like" so much. It makes it hard to listen to.
1:37:48 I normally am totally on your side, Dan, but I take umbrage with that statement. I really like X, put IX first, VI second and VII 3rd. But I do not defend X-2. The only thing that game has going for it is the literal mechanics of the class-changing system. The rest is sub-par at best.
1:43:27 I agree
I wish blackout was free :p Ha! They've cheesed progression so much it might as well be. I preferred the blackout beta–but this (apex legends) is fun
The Outer Worlds>Apex Legends
Super excited for this game. GI's coverage has been great and made me even more hyped. Excited for a medium sized single player game with a really interesting looking world.
Excellent show, as always. Tack is a gem, as always.
two-screens view is awful thing
I cant believe yall did not mention the wii u when yall talked about requiring an old controller for backwards compatibility. the wii u has a wii mode to play wii games that requires wii controllers.
Lol that bleeping part.
Holy God is Matt Miller excruciating to listen to… If you can say something in 10 words. He will say it in 40 words. If it takes 10 seconds to say something. He will take 15 seconds. If you have something that's not worth mentioning. He will mention it.
He's honestly insufferable for me. I have to skip when he's talking. He has no consideration for people's time and patience and our interest in what he says more than half the time. It's hard to credit he's so bad…. Phew. It's really hard.
That censor section is amazing lmao
Don't write in. As "Gerome Roe" from Brizbin I can now say that since now having technically conversed directly with the GI crew, and having had a peek behind the curtain, the magic of the show has all but dissipated. It feels weird man.
N64 controller was my least favorite ever although GameCube controller one of my fav . I love ps4 controller and Xbox one very close second
Sind ? Oooooooook
That was an amazing interview, they seemed like such good sports even with the lollipop.
good job on cutting the interview. Japanese interviews are almost always unbearable to hear and watch
Counter Strike: Global Offensive is a Source engine game and has a battle royale mode, Danger Zone.
I'm excited for the game in general. But I'm also excited because it will make Bethesda step up their game hopefully.
Nice discussion – Thanks!
Email of the year for the censoring idea. You better check it again this December!
Intrigued about Outer Worlds … however "classism without racism" seems far-stretched. They are so interrelated in many ways…
