Hardline 002: Backwards compatibility, Fallout, and more

An informal discussion of the week’s news

On this week’s installment of Hardline, Destructoid’s new podcast about the week’s gaming news and whatever else happens to be on our minds (in this case, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s sweaty body), I’m once again joined by Steven Hansen and we also got Conrad Zimmerman to fill in for Dale and Hamza. There wasn’t a whole lot of captivating “news,” but no matter — this is more of an informal discussion show than an outlet with which to deliver timely facts.

That said, we chatted about a few topics, including: the PlayStation 4’s far-off backwards compatibility via Gaikai cloud streaming, what we would want in a possible Fallout 4, that list of developers who will be self-publishing on Xbox One, and the best / worst characters of the year.
