Summary

For nearly a decade, WB Montreal has existed in the shadow of its better-known and more-beloved sister studio Rocksteady. But finally, it appears the Quebecois dev is poised to break out. Yet again, the team has teased a vague image on its social media channels that almost certainly points towards a new Batman game, something WB Montreal has dabbled in in the past with 2013's Arkham Origins. But with Rocksteady's Arkham Trilogy getting all of the respect and Origins getting precious little, is WB Montreal walking into a trap? We talk it through. Then: Media Molecule's Dreams finally goes gold, Platinum Games confusingly accepts substantial Chinese investment, Capcom is emphasizing the Remake in Resident Evil 3 Remake, and Nioh 2 is so friggin' hard that Team Ninja is toning it down. Plus: Will Beyond Good & Evil 2 ever come out? How do we define "hardcore" gaming? Is Tetris Effect dropping the ball when it comes to DLC? Should a man be murdered for thinking Friends is better than Seinfeld? There's much to discuss! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:48.6	That was pretty good. I think I stayed a little bit longer than I probably needed to.
0:52.4	It's always weird trying to gauge how much time you should spend on a trip like that.
0:57.7	Sure. Because you spend four days and it's like,
1:00.5	oh, well, then you're just rushing, but if you spend a week and a half, you're rushing to get out.
1:06.4	It's hard to balance. Definitely. I always feel like I've never properly
