Another week, another reversal of an Xbox One policy. This time, Microsoft is relenting and making the console more open to indie development. We also discuss two great new RPGs.

First up, Game Informer’s news editor Mike Futter calls in from New Jersey and joins host Matt Helgeson and editor Matt Bertz to speak about the most recent Microsoft course correction. Mike and Matt Bertz broke this story on the web and discuss what it means for indie development on Xbox One – and the way it can affect the long-term outlook at the console.

Batting second is Matt Miller, who’s here to speak about his review of Shadowrun Returns. It’s among the first high profile Kickstarter games to be released, and will please fans of old-school ’90s RPGs.

In the ultimate segment, Game Informer’s resident JRPG fanatic Kim Wallace makes an all-too-rare appearance at the GI Show to speak about Shin Megami Tensei IV, the newest within the daring series. Kim was impressed by the game’s challenging combat and philosophical bent. It’s definitely not your run of the mill JRPG. Listen in to determine why you ought to give it a try.
