GI Show – Splatoon 2, Destiny 2, Neil deGrasse Tyson Interview
Welcome back to The Game Informer Show podcast! We have a heck of a show for you this week. First up, Brian Shea, Kyle Hilliard, and Javy Gwaltney talk about their time playing Splatoon 2 and how it compares to the series' Wii U debut. Then Suriel Vazquez joins us as we share our impressions of the Destiny 2 Beta and discuss if it's changed our outlook on Bungie's sequel. After some fun conversations about platformers and fighting games and some great community emails, we're honored to be joined by astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson to talk about his hopeful goals of Kickstarting a gaming experience to help a new audience understand and appreciate the universe.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
