Author: Sheridan Media August 28, 2024 Duration: 1:14:36

Welcome to Active Reload Episode 59! This week James and Grant start the show discussing the crazy launch disappointment of Concord, it's staggering lack of players at launch and what is next for the game and its company. Then, the guys discuss some of the early reactions to Star Wars Outlaws, and then an examination of the one-year anniversary of Starfield. How far has the game come since launch and will the new DLC bring back players? After that, Grant vents his frustration with Avowed's statement of trying to reach the 30 fps benchmark which leads to a big debate with James about how important it really is to have 30 fps vs. 60 fps, and how the product it produces reflects the industry as a whole. Finally, a quick look at what's coming out this week and what the guys have been playing over the past week. Remember to rate, follow, like and subscribe!
