What's up everybody welcome to I.G.N. GameSoup. I'm your host Damon Hadfield. Joining

this week is Justin Davis, Tina Meeney, and Ryan McCaffrey. We've got a great show

for you this week. We're going to share what we've been playing recently, which will

include Dark Siders 3 and Red Dead Online. We've got to talk about this fascinating Fallout

76 situation, a rare example of a triple A game just completely missing the mark. But first,

I a question I want to post you guys is something I've been wondering is the mini console craze over?

menus or any kind of extra-user museum features. So it just doesn't have the feeling of a product

was put out by a company that really cares about their history and their legacy. That's not to say

it's awful. A 5.5 is not the score that Sony wanted for that console, but it also means that you can

boot up Resident Evil or Metal Gear Solid and still relive those 1990s glory days, but it's not

the product that it could have been. So that's the thing. We could just do a bunch of remasters or
