Madden NFL 25 Impressions # 411

Author: Sean Garmer August 20, 2024 Duration: 1:09:16
With this episode hitting right before the looming Gamescom where there are sure to be a myriad of game announcements, release dates, and gameplay previews galore, there's been quite a bit of this happening in the week leading up to it. Sean and Randy discuss some of the games that are coming between September to November, and some games that have been delayed too.

Not to mention, the release of one of the year's biggest titles, at least in yearly sales, Madden NFL 25 is out, Sean's played it, and he gives his impressions. Does it eclipse the much beloved EA College Football 25, does there being a perhaps better Football game on the market hurt the game at all? And is there anything new that makes it worthy of a purchase?

Plus, more discussion on Supermarket Simulator, Randy's played ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights, will Final Fantasy Remake Part 3 be one of the greatest games of all time? Should it switch to Unreal Engine 5? Does the new trailer for Silent Hill 2 Remake excite us? And sadly, more layoffs at Ubisoft.

Each week on Video Games 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer brings his perspective as a longtime veteran of games journalism to the table. He’s often joined by semi-regular co-host and seasoned reviewer Marc Morrison, or sometimes a guest, for conversations that dig into the entire world of interactive entertainment. The discussion naturally flows from the games they’re currently playing and reviewing into the biggest news stories shaping the industry. Every episode also carves out space for a deeper dive on a special topic, giving the analysis room to breathe beyond just the headlines. Given that games don't exist in a vacuum, the dialogue occasionally branches into related films and television shows, all filtered through a gamer's lens. This isn't a rushed recap; it's a considered chat between knowledgeable voices who have been around the block. The result is a podcast that feels like sitting in on a conversation between friends who just happen to have a wealth of experience. You’ll hear genuine opinions, informed debates, and the kind of context that only comes from years of paying close attention. Whether it's a blockbuster release or a niche indie title, the focus remains on thoughtful commentary over simple hype. Tune in for a comprehensive, yet personal, take on everything happening in gaming and the pop culture that intersects with it.
