GI Show – Black Ops 4, Fallout 76, Spider-Man Interview
Game Informer's Ben Hanson, Dan Tack, Leo Vader, and Jeff Cork talk about Tack's glowing review of the new Call of Duty and why the Blackout battle royale mode stands out in particular. We also talk about the best party games of all time with the new release of Jackbox Party Pack 5 and Leo Vader insists on talking about Crayola Scoot. Then Andrew Reiner joins the show to walk us through his conflicted feelings on his time playing Fallout 76. Before we get to some great community emails, we kick off a new segment on The GI Show we're calling "Every Game Is Interesting", tune in to learn about our bold challenge. In the back half of the show, Insomniac's creative director Bryan Intihar and lead writer Jon Paquette talk about developing and writing Spider-Man on the PlayStation 4. Be careful, we get into spoilers.
