167: God of War, Call of Duty Black Ops 4 and FPS Without Single Player

Kratos makes an epic return with the new God of War. We didn't play anything else this week because God of War is about all we could play. It's an incredible return for the franchise for both new and old fans of the franchise. It has a 95 MetaCritic score which is incredible for a game. Listen to find out why.

Our news heavily focuses on battle royale with the rumors of Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V introducing it into their games. We also talk about Campo Santo (creators of Firewatch) merging into Valve which means In the Valley of the Gods will be produced by Valve. Good news indeed.

Our discussion continues the story of Black Ops 4 supposedly not having a single player campaign. We discuss the question "do FPS games need a single player anymore?" We've seen great success stories with Wolfenstein and Titanfall 2 but we can't help but wonder if it's time for them to focus on one or the other but not both.
