Super GamesCast 64 Ep. 441 - Fright Simulator

·1 hr 17 min·5 clips

Trey Mitchell hosts while sick with the 'T-Virus,' as the crew debates their intro and shows coronavirus stock footage on a green screen.

The episode opens with hosts Trey Mitchell, Austin Guttery, and Connor Risenhoover in a humorous, disorganized state, joking about Trey's illness and their makeshift production with green screen footage. They promote social media clips and banter about various platforms. The main segment covers video game news, starting with the Xbox Developer Direct. They discuss Forza Horizon 6's 7-Eleven collaboration, Game Freak's new post-apocalyptic game, Double Fine's pottery brawler 'Kiln,' and Fable 4's detailed NPC system. Other news includes Nintendo veteran Hideki Kono's retirement, a Super Mario Galaxy movie trailer, Xbox's confusing multiplatform strategy for Forza, a $900 million lawsuit against Valve, a UK court ruling that stealing RuneScape gold is theft, and Ubisoft's restructuring. The hosts then share what they've been playing: Trey beat Metroid Prime 4, Austin is into Hades 2, and Connor is playing Alan Wake 2 and A Short Hike. Connor also details his progress in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, including a quest involving a character who died from diarrhea. The episode concludes with 'This Week in Gaming History,' where Trey correctly guesses several release dates, and they name Fable as the game of the week. Throughout, the tone is casual and comedic, with frequent references and inside jokes.
