Episode 77: Ninja Gaiden 4 Announced! Would You Buy Grand Theft Auto 6 for $100?

Author: Sheridan Media January 29, 2025 Duration: 1:12:20

Welcome to Active Reload! This week, James and Grant go over Xbox's Developer Direct they had last week. Microsoft showed off Doom the Dark Ages, South of Midnight, and announced a big kept secret in Ninja Gaiden 4, the first entry in the series since 2012, as well as a remaster of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black that was released the same day as the announcement. The guys go over their reactions to the announcement and how they felt about some of the gameplay shown from Doom and South of Midnight! Next, the guys go over some unfortunate news, with Ubisoft announcing they were shuttering Ubisoft Leamington and laying off 185 employees. Finally, the gang discusses the suggestion from an analyst of Grand Theft Auto being priced up to $100 and, if it were to actually happen, how it could affect the rest of the industry moving forward. Would more games jump to $100? Remember to rate, follow, like, and subscribe!
