The Gaming Outsider Podcast – Episode 066: Walking Simulators

Happy Wednesday everyone! We have a great new episode of The Gaming Outsider now available. In this episode we center our community topic around the genre generally known as “walking simulators” and how gamers feel about them in terms of gameplay, content and pricing. Games like Gone Home and Dear Esther have popularized the genre but are they appealing as a whole or too shallow to get excited about? Also, we jump into the latest gaming news including that ridiculous pricing for the Oculus Rift and all of the Pokemon 20th Anniversary news. The crew discusses what games they have been playing this past week as well including The Wolf Among Us, Amplitude, Jamestown and Bloodborne. Grab the episode now via iTunes, Stitch Radio or directly below by using our embedded media player. Thanks and we hope you enjoy it!
