Grand Theft Auto 6 Fears, Nvidia AI and Warner Bros Mario Kart S6E11
In this episode, we dive into some of the biggest gaming industry shake-ups. With GTA 6 looming on the horizon, publishers are scrambling to avoid releasing their titles in its wake, fearing the inevitable sales juggernaut. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. was reportedly working on a Mario Kart-style crossover racer featuring characters like Tom and Jerry, but the project was ultimately shelved. In brighter news, Game Informer is back after its abrupt shutdown last year, with its entire former staff returning under new ownership. Finally, Nvidia’s AI-powered G-Assist is now a reality, offering PC gamers an advanced tool for optimizing performance and even controlling RGB lighting. 0:00 Intro0:51 Update9:37 Publishers are scared of GTA 6 https://tinyurl.com/5byntjhy 21:35 We almost had a Mario Kart-like crossover game https://tinyurl.com/33j3hyky 30:48 Game Informer Is BACK https://tinyurl.com/3sukyvac 37:54 Nvidia’s AI is here to help https://tinyurl.com/4jt87x9f 53:22 OutroLeave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching/listening!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------PODCAST ►► https://anchor.fm/m2podcastAMAZON Music ► https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/091902c3-b83b-487c-8fe7-4c96787434fe/M2-PodcastAPPLE ► https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1531832410BREAKER ► https://www.breaker.audio/m2-podcast-2CASTRO ► https://castro.fm/podcast/6f69d373-d879-46d9-9f1c-bcf7c4bf1741GOOGLE ► https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8zNTYwNWZiMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==OVERCAST ► https://overcast.fm/itunes1531832410/m2-podcastPOCKETCASTS ► https://pca.st/5jghvf6eRADIOPUBLIC ► https://radiopublic.com/m2-podcast-GMZkY4SPOTIFY ► https://open.spotify.com/show/2VedhO03IRoHERJqF6Sy87STICHER ► https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/m2-podcastTUNEIN ► http://tun.in/pj3ZI #podcastJOIN THE DISCORD! ►► https://discord.gg/Kp5Gre6FOLLOW THE TWITTER! ►►https://twitter.com/m2_podcastKyleHeath Socials:TWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/mrjkheathMadMikeWillEatU Socials:TWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/madmikewilleatu
