GI Show 197: Oculus Rift/Facebook Deal, Diablo, BioShock, Galactic Civ III
It's been a crazy week in virtual reality, from the unveiling of Sony's Morpheus to Facebook's huge acquisition of Oculus Rift. We give our take on this emerging market, and talk about some great new games.
In the first segment, host Matt Helgeson is joined by GI editor in chief Andy McNamara and GI news editor Mike Futter to talk about Oculus Rift's Facebook deal, Sony's new VR headset, and the other competitors in this quickly evolving niche.
Next up, we have a trio of GI editors – Joe Juba, Matt Miller, and Daniel Tack – who stop by to give their opinions on some of the week's high-profile new releases: DIablo III: Reaper of Souls, BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Episode 2, and Mercenary Kings.
Finally, a surprise guest from Game Informer's past stops by to talk about Stardock's Galactic Civilization III (hint: it's not Darth Clark).
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.
