215: Beat Saber, Chasm and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

This week we finally find out what all the hype is about surrounding Beat Saber. It's a game available on PSVR and Oculus Rift where players control two lightsabers and slash through cubes coming at them to the beat of songs. It's incredibly fun and we talk all about it. Austin plays a game called Chasm with procedurally generated maps that may or may not help the game succeed.

In our news this week, someone is trying to do a real-life battle royale. Overwatch League players are quitting due to stress and Jason West (former co-founder of Respawn Entertainment) is joining forces with Epic Games.

Speaking of Respawn, we finally know what the new Star Wars game is all about coming out of EA. It's called Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and is a single player only, microtransaction-free story campaign following a Jedi during the Dark Times. Will this give EA a win or will it mean the end of EA and their license with Star Wars?
