On this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison discuss the cancelation of E3 2020 due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) concerns. What it means for E3’s future, Microsoft and Ubisoft already announcing digital events, and other things that have been canceled around it as well.
Plus, Mario Day springs a conversation about favorite Mario Games, NFL 2K lives again, Horizon: Zero Dawn is confirmed for PC and the Nintendo Playstation selling too.
Sean also talks about his time with the Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo, and how much he’s enjoying Underhero and Murder By Numbers.
Finally, the duo gives a full review of the Not For Resale documentary. They discuss what they liked, disliked, and an overall view of digital versus physical media. Will it all eventually go away?
