Microsoft now officially owns Bethesda and, following recent statements from Phil Spencer, we speculate what franchises will be exclusive to Xbox forever. Also, Paragon gets a second life as Predecessor, Valve halts development on Artifact, and the Ninja Turtles are back for another brawl. 00:00:52 - Corrections 00:04:03 - Silver Lining 00:06:03 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge 00:16:02 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trivia 00:25:59 - Xbox officially owns Bethesda 00:49:19 - A Word From Our Sponsors 00:55:50 - Paragon becomes Predecessor 01:09:18 - Valve quits Artifact 01:19:53 - Also This Week... 01:25:21 - L&R - Resident Evil Village theories? 01:29:31 - L&R - Favorite video game child? 01:31:19 - L&R - Game: Real or Fake Japanese Rhythm Games 01:39:05 - Time For Bets 01:44:06 - Closing Visit http://logitechg.com and use come EASYALLIESFREESHIP37 to get free express shipping, but hurry because the code expires in 3 days!

As the week ends we’re now anticipating open-world Pokémon adventures and co-op Aliens shooters we didn’t even know existed. We’ll be enjoying these later this year while we lament the “reorganization” of Japan Studio and our lack of Hololens 2 headsets powered by Microsoft Mesh. 00:00:44 - Corrections 00:02:48 - Silver Lining 00:05:12 - Aliens: Fireteam Announced 00:15:51 - Pokemon Direct Updates 00:38:22 - Microsoft Mesh 00:57:36 - A Word From Our Sponsors 01:04:09 - New Game Plus Expo Recap 01:15:01 - Japan Studio “Re-organized” 01:24:07 - Also This Week... 01:36:26 - L&R - Good New Game+ features? 01:43:26 - L&R - Game: Kidz Bop or DDR? 01:48:05 - L&R - What’s Seedlings, Ian? 01:50:52 - L&R - Who should Nintendo buy? 01:56:38 - Time For Bets 02:02:12 - Closing Visit http://joinhoney.com/allies to get Honey for FREE.

It was a big week for Final Fantasy VII and Diablo fans, with remake updates and mobile spin-offs celebrating the best of each beloved series.

This week our expectations were put to the test. How much can Nintendo fit into a 50 minute Direct? How should we feel about our first look at the new Mortal Kombat movie?

Final Fantasy XIV blasts off for the moon with Endwalker, and WBIE’s new patent all but guarantees a return trip to Monolith’s Mordor. What’s less certain is when we’ll get to play the Sands of Time Remake and when the creator of Terraria will get his Google account back. 00:00:51 - Corrections 00:02:15 - Silver Lining 00:03:23 - FF XIV Endwalker Revealed 00:11:55 - WBIE’s Nemesis Patent 00:27:03 - Sands of Time Delayed Indefinitely 00:41:30 - A Word From Our Sponsors 00:46:12 - Have You Heard About “Hidden Deep?” 00:52:10 - Terraria for Stadia Canceled 01:06:17 - Also This Week... 01:22:14 - L&R - Easy Allies Movie Cast 01:25:36 - L&R - Why isn’t Ori bigger? 01:28:04 - L&R - Looping background music picks? 01:30:46 - L&R - Game: Pokemon or Drug? 01:35:31 - L&R - Game: Know Your R.E.

We relish in the opportunity to chuckle at Google and Amazon’s development efforts after Schreier eviscerates Amazon and Google stops making games. At the same time it’s nothing but good news for multiple Warhammer franchises, Gearbox Entertainment, and the Mass Effect trilogy. 00:00:44 - Corrections 00:02:18 - Silver Lining 00:03:36 - Total War: Warhammer III 00:10:15 - Gearbox Acquired 00:23:22 - Stadia Studio shutdown 00:37:12 - Amazon’s development woes 00:54:06 - A Word From Our Sponsors 00:57:21 - Mass Effect remaster details 01:09:09 - Personal 2020 PlayStation stats 01:19:34 - Also This Week... 01:27:08 - L&R - Update: Life without PS5 01:28:01 - L&R - Most memorable licensed tracks 01:30:27 - L&R - Game: Consolation Discontinued 01:34:47 - L&R - PS All-Stars Battle Royale 2 cast? 01:36:39 - Time For Bets 01:43:35 - Closing Go to http://upstart.com/easyallies to find out how much Upstart can save you today!

GameStop shares and Xbox Live prices are going up. Or are they going down? We search for answers while lamenting Vicarious Visions getting absorbed by Blizzard, catching up on the Borderlands movie cast, and pondering Gabe Newell’s battle for your brain. 00:01:03 - Corrections 00:03:39 - Silver Lining 00:07:36 - GameStop Stock Squeeze 00:25:36 - Xbox Live Price Increase 00:40:06 - Vicarious Visions and Blizzard 00:49:28 - A Word From Our Sponsors 00:51:29 - Borderlands Movie Update 00:58:33 - Gabe Newell and BCIs 01:09:30 - Also This Week... 01:16:18 - L&R - Game: Fiasconauts Characters 01:22:29 - L&R - Game: How Many GOTYs? 01:28:11 - L&R - Ever forget how to play an RPG? 01:30:27 - L&R - How do you explain our gaming language? 01:38:47 - Time For Bets 01:43:29 - Closing 01:45:28 - Producer Credits Visit http://joinhoney.com/ALLIES to get Honey for FREE today!

Resident Evil gives us chills by how creepy Village feels and how weird Re:Verse looks in their recent Showcase.

Lucasfilm re-invests in games so we share our excitement as Indiana Jones rides again and Ubisoft opens up the galaxy far, far away. Also worth speculating: new trademarks made by Square Enix, a very quick end-screen of upcoming Sony exclusive release dates, and some games you might not have heard of among Twitter’s biggest stats of 2020. 00:00:39 - Corrections 00:03:13 - Silver Lining 00:04:41 - Lucasfilm Games - Indiana Jones 00:27:16 - Lucasfilm Games - Ubisoft Star Wars 00:39:51 - Square Enix Trademarks 00:49:51 - A Word From Our Sponsors 00:53:34 - Sony’s Exclusive Release Dates 01:12:30 - Twitter Gaming Stats 01:23:04 - Also This Week... 01:34:57 - L&R - Under-the-radar gaming stuff 01:40:04 - L&R - Game: E3 Conference Finales 01:45:22 - L&R - Helpless story moments 01:47:25 - L&R - Game: Name That Cheat Code 01:52:01 - Time For Bets 01:57:01 - Closing Go to http://upstart.com/easyallies to find out how much Upstart can save you today!

It’s time to look ahead at the next three months of releases using a time-honored tradition of ridiculous breakfast food comparisons; a Q1 2021 preview with sprinkles and spreadable frosting. Also, Amazon reveals its list of the top 100 best-selling products from last year and we try to find something on it to analyze that isn't a gift card or a game exclusive to Switch. 00:01:03 - Corrections 00:04:27 - Silver Lining 00:05:38 - Q1 2021 Preview - January 00:26:43 - Q1 2021 Preview - February 00:52:32 - A Word From Our Sponsors 00:57:19 - Q1 2021 Preview - March 01:17:50 - Amazon’s Best Sellers of 2020 01:27:46 - Also This Week... 01:38:01 - L&R - Most memorable box art? 01:41:15 - L&R - Game: Name that Steam Tag! 01:47:51 - L&R - Favorite pre-rendered trailers? 01:52:00 - Time For Bets 01:53:32 - Or Wars 01:57:42 - Closing Go to http://hellofresh.com/10allies and use code 10allies for 10 free meals, including free shipping!
