The Game Informer Show

Two years ago, we unloaded all of our raw thoughts on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This year for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, we decided to just put the long and spoiler-filled discussion in the audio feed for The Game Informer Show podcast as well. Watch Ben Hanson, Mat Miller, Andrew Reiner, and Jeff Cork try to wrap their minds around The Last Jedi's biggest moments and what it means for the future of the Star Wars franchise. You can watch the video below or subscribe and listen to the audio on iTunes or Google Play. (Please visit the site to view this media)

On this week's Game Informer Show podcast, Ben Hanson, Ben Reeves, Suriel Vazquez, and Kyle Hilliard talk about the final piece of content for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with the Champion's Ballad DLC. Then Jeff Marchiafava joins us to talk about the experience of jumping into the less-than-stellar port of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on the Xbox One. There were a lot of great game announcements last week, so we Skype in Imran Khan to talk about Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards and PSX 2017. After some great community emails, we're joined by Bluepoint Games' technical director Peter Dalton and producer Randall Lowe to talk about the tricky task of remaking Team Ico's masterpiece Shadow of the Colossus on the PlayStation 4.
