The Pocket Gamer Podcast Episode 29 - Prince of Persia, Path of Exile and PUBG Mobile
Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, Mo.Co, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge and much more
The Pocket Gamer team are back with a new and improved formula for The Pocket Gamer Podcast, bringing you six recent stories in quick succession.
1) Iwan & Will discuss three of the most recent mobile releases; Covering everything from the fantastic port of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown - which Will recently reviewed - through to TMNT: Shredder's Revenge.
2) The duo then chat about The Star Named EOS and Where Winds Meet, the latter of which was a recommendation for Will from Catherine.
3) The discussion then shifts to the recent unbanning, and the reasons behind the initial ban, of Player Unknown Battlegrounds Mobile in Bangladesh.
4) Mo.Co's recent fortunes - namely a waning of interest as it continues along its Early Access path - are discussed, as well as the decreasing relevance of Soft Launch and Early Access for testing, and how they've now become marketing terms instead.
5) Next up is a quick check in, and discussion of the long-awaited Path of Exile Mobile, which appears to be in developmental limbo. We're sure that when it lands it's going to be one of the best hack and slash games on Android and iOS, so what's the hold up?
Finally, the duo discuss Sonic Rumble's Season 0 which marks the most recent entry in the trend of running large-scale, in-depth live ops ahead of launch. It's a strange trend, and ties into the earlier discussion about the lesser-role of Soft Launch and Early Access.
You can listen to the podcast below, through the Spotify embed, or head over to our Spotify Page - while there you can follow us, which'll actually get the new podcasts pushed to you as they're uploaded (which means you can give it a listen before we've even got the story live on the website). We're also going to be looking at more ways of getting it to you over the coming months, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
