This week's episode of The Game Informer Show is focusing on the details. First off, Matt Miller joins us to talk about his extensive experience playing Gearbox's Battleborn and why it just doesn't live up to expectations from similar shooters. After that, Jeff Marchiafava discusses his love-affair with the latest open beta for Blizzard's Overwatch. We also talk about how Blizzard's expert sense of game design compares to Uncharted 4's attention to detail. Also, we have Kyle Hilliard to discuss Game Freak's latest efforts with Pocket Horse Jockey and the trailers for Pokemon Sun and Moon. We also cover Disney's big news of the week before speaking with the co-directors of the upcoming Angry Birds Movie Fergal Reilly and Clay Kaytis about game animation and why they're so proud of this surprising game adaptation.[Excerpt]
