We've been somewhat neglectful of the news lately, what with all these great games coming out, so we're in catch-up mode this week. We cover some of the latest VR-focussed stories coming out of Carl Zeiss, Google & even NASA(!), the insane system requirements for Assassin's Creed Unity and the temptation of re-buying games both old (The recently remastered Lucasarts classics recently unveiled at GOG.com) and new (The current-ge/PC re-release of GTA V). All this and a whole load more on another news-stuff #NOTplaying Podcast!
