Ben Lindbergh, Steve Ahlman, and Matt James assess their hype levels for several recently announced release dates for upcoming games and video game movies, react to the ‘Resident Evil’ teaser, and share their thoughts on Microsoft’s Game Pass price cut and Xbox brand rehabilitation. Then they review Sony’s new PS5-exclusive rogue-like shooter ‘Saros’ and compare it to its predecessor ‘Returnal.’ Finally, they play Mash or Pass with four other new games: ‘Vampire Crawlers,’ ‘Invincible VS,’ ‘Tides of Tomorrow,’ and ‘Aphelion’ (plus “Rage Quit” rants about a ‘Battlefield’ movie and rolling credits too early).
