Purely Academic with Jonathan Lack & Sean Chapman

The Weekly Stuff #492 - The Future of Xbox, Fantastic Four, Persona, Like a Dragon & More!

Episode Summary

We break down Xbox and Marvel news and continue discussion Persona 3 Reload and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Episode Notes

After weeks of breathless speculation, Xbox unveiled some relatively minor details about the multiplatform future vision of the brand, which prompts us to have an in-depth conversation about where Xbox is going and why the current strategy feels at odds with their oft-stated long-term goals. We also discuss Marvel’s unveiling of their new Fantastic Four cast, Jonathan talks about watching Solo Leveling and playing Modern Warfare III, and we conclude with a check-in on the giant JRPGs we’re both playing, Persona 3 Reload and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. 

Enjoy!
