GI Show – Black Ops III, Yo-Kai Watch, Making Of Fallout 4
Another fall week brings another annual gaming juggernaut release. Call of Duty: Black Ops III releases Friday, and it's one of the most jam-packed offerings Treyarch has put together. We dissect the game's insane campaign, fun multiplayer, and addicting Zombies mode (complete with Jeff Goldblum). Japan's big Pokémon competitor, Yo-Kai Watch, also arrives stateside with all its ghost-grabbin' goodness. We round out the show by looking deep into the current state of Bethesda Softworks.
Dan Tack joins us to talk about his time reviewing Black Ops III, and even drops some hints about what excitement players unlock by completing the game's campaign. Kyle Hilliard also shares his experience playing Yo-Kai, and reveals all the striking similarities and enticing differences the game has from Pokémon (including a butt ghost we think is named Squeakcheeks).
Bethesda releases the much-anticipated Falllout 4 next week, and it feels like the entire gaming population is holding its breath in anticipation. GI's Andrew Reiner visited the studio as they were just preparing to ship the game and spoke with game director Todd Howard along with other key Bethesda developers about the creation of the game. Matt Bertz also joins us for this final segment, coming to the table with years of experience covering Bethesda games, such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
