Horizon Zero Dawn was listed at $20 buck ( or lower on steam) for the last few months but when Sony announced a "remastered" version the price doubled.. Is this because Concord failed? or is this just capitalism... Let's talk about it in this episode of the Arcade Island podcast. wait.. this game is 7 years old.. Why are we remastering a game that looks great??? Unless its to sell the PS5 Pro

The guys break down the recent Switch 2 rumors & recently leaked files.. Will the next switch be a game changer?

This might be the end of Ubisoft and they are blaming gamers? The company that brought you amazing titles such as FarCry 3, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, & Assassin's Creed can't seem to get out of their own way. From repetitive formulas across multiple games to the most vanilla "mid" games scubas StarWars Outlaws, Ubisoft has quickly become a meme to gamers in the know. But is it too late.. can they recover and retake their title as a top publisher known for quality and pushing the limits on game design? Lets talk about it here on Arcade Island EP 4!
