The Weekly Stuff #325 – Next-Gen Console Production, Yakuza, Vanquish, and a game about Quibi

<p>It was a light week in video game news, though a report about improved working conditions at Rockstar Games and some insight into Sony’s production strategy for the PS5 gives us a chance to talk about how games are made and what the future is looking like with next-gen consoles. We also talk about the games we’ve been playing during the shut-in, with Sean returning to Kamurocho for <i>Yakuza 5 </i>and Jonathan discovering the awfulness that is <i>Resident Evil 5 </i>and the awesomeness that is Platinum Games’ recently re-released <i>Vanquish. </i>And finally, just for laughs, we make fun of the very stupid, very not-successful streaming service Quibi with a game pitting the real, incredibly silly shows on the service versus fake, equally silly shows that aren’t. </p><p><strong>Time Chart: </strong></p><p>Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:12:07</p><p>Stuff: 0:12:07 – 0:54:48 </p><p>News: 0:54:48 – 1:35:39</p><p>Quibi Game: 1:35:39 – 2:00:03</p><p><a href="https://weeklystuff.substack.com/"><strong>Subscribe to The Weekly Stuff Wordcast Newsletter!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6QsXZYt12NIzF224GKBA0g"><strong>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!</strong></a></p><p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wgtc-radio-we-got-this-covered/id535584943"><strong>Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in iTunes!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/JonathanLack"><strong>Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/SeanTheChapman"><strong>Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!</strong></a></p>
