Wish you had discussed CDPR's latest release of their 20-year plan (7 new games, including a Cyberpunk sequel, an entirely new IP, and a whole new Witcher trilogy!!!), but it was a great episode regardless!

We did consider it but would have inevitably ended up just talking about the stated transition to Unreal Engine 5 instead!

I guess that's true. It's gonna be fascinating though to see how that all pans out, considering most of their problems with Cyberpunk was overpromising features for like a decade, since that too was announced like 8 years before release

It is a shame that Rare Replay is not on PC. I also want to point out that generally, Xbox has been very poor at porting their 360 titles to PC. We all know they were publishing and making games on PC before Xbox was even a thing and still carried on to some degree making ports even as the Xbox became a thing but turned off the taps so to speak at some point in the 360 era. Its a shame because series like Fable or Gears Of War are effectively incomplete on PC as a result. I think it was one of Xbox's biggest errors and I would love to see it rectified.
