Episode 192 - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Wins Game Of The Year 2025

vendredi 12 décembre 2025 • Durée 01:27:59

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode...
--> The biggest night in gaming sees hypeman Geoff Keighly dish out shiny awards to the best games of the past 12 months -- including indie sensation Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which walked away with nine awards. Of course, the Game Awards also means hours’ worth of game announcements and trailers to sort through, such as Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, two new Tomb Raider projects, Mega Man: Dual Override, and Larian Studio's bizarre debut trailer for Divinity.
--> In a move that will dramatically reshape the entertainment business, Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery announced an agreement under which Netflix will acquire Warner Bros., including its game studios.
--> GameStop’s Trade Anything Day created the chaos the company seemed to be hoping for, but workers on social media complained of "disrespectful" and "belligerent" customers, who took the company's announcement as an invitation to create pandemonium.
--> Also: Top 3 New Releases, Gaming History 101

Episode 92 - Epic Games Lays Off Over 800 Employees

vendredi 29 septembre 2023 • Durée 01:13:16

Send us Fan Mail

Epic Games has announced its laying off roughly 16% of its workforce, resulting in around 830 employees losing their jobs. Epic president Tim Sweeney states that these departures will not come at the expense of game development and that Epic will still be hiring for “critical roles.” We discuss this mass layoff in light of other recent Epic headlines (such as the company refusing to back down on its lawsuit vs Apple, offering 100% revenue to game devs who promise exclusivity, and the company's metaverse focus) and wonder whether this move was really the only way to go.

We'll also be talking about how SAG-AFTRA members overwhelmingly voted to authorize a video game strike, how Sony has a crucial decision to make after Jim Ryan's retirement as PlayStation CEO, and what other games we think need a 99 version.

Finally, in News Rewind, we look at CES coverage from the July/August 1983 volume of Atari Age magazine.

Episode 91 - Biggest Revelations From The Microsoft Xbox Leaks

vendredi 22 septembre 2023 • Durée 01:10:18

Send us Fan Mail

In what’s being cited as the biggest leak in the company’s history, Microsoft revealed a massive amount of information about forthcoming Xbox refreshes, next-gen systems, and more after uploading a series of unredacted documents to a court website as part of the ongoing Federal Trade Commission v. Microsoft case. We discuss the headlines included in the leaks and wonder...is any of it REALLY news??

We'll also be talking about how series creator Ed Boon promises that the widely panned port of Mortal Kombat 1 on the Nintendo Switch will be fixed, how Unity has apologized for its install fee policy and says it "will be making changes" to it, and how the original Call of Duty Warzone is shutting down for good this week.

Finally, in News Rewind, we look at the New York Times article "The Gaming of Violence," published on April 30, 1999.

Episode 90 - Unity’s New Per-Install Pricing Pisses Off Pretty Much Everyone

vendredi 15 septembre 2023 • Durée 01:16:14

Send us Fan Mail

For years, the Unity Engine has operated with a royalty-free licensing structure, which meant developers incurred no extra costs based on how well a game sold. On Tuesday, however, the company announced a new fee structure that will start charging developers on a "per-install" basis. "We're not nickel-and-diming people," Unity CEO John Riccitiello once memorably said. "When we say it's free, it's free." LOL. We discuss this deeply unpopular move by Unity and take bets on how long it will be before the company walks it back entirely.

We'll also be talking about Microsoft's brand new Xbox credit card, how Square Enix has lost nearly $2 billion in value since the launch of Final Fantasy 16 (and a new report has cast doubt on the company’s ability to recover), and the announcement that
Nintendo is sunsetting Mario Kart Tour next month.

Finally, Blue takes us to Subcon with Mario & Luigi in the first ever Gamers Week Book Club.

Episode 89 - SAG-AFTRA Voting To Strike Against Video Game Industry

vendredi 8 septembre 2023 • Durée 01:15:56

Send us Fan Mail

With SAG-AFTRA members already on strike against films and TV shows, voting is now underway to authorize a separate strike against the video game industry. The guild’s leaders are saying that a dual strike, if it comes to that, “makes sense” because the issues at stake in both contracts (namely wages and unregulated AI use) “mirror” each other. We discuss the issues at stake in this possible strike, as well as the ways this may affect our hobby in the years to come.

We'll also be talking about how Sony's newly announced PS Plus price increase is not going down well with consumers, how former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden views Apple and Amazon as big threats to the games industry, and how Charles Martinet (the now former voice of Mario) will be transitioning to his new role as “Mario Ambassador” for Nintendo.

Finally, Donnie takes us all the way back to September 1990 in Retro Rewind.

Episode 88 - Starfield Headline Roundup

vendredi 1 septembre 2023 • Durée 01:16:53

Send us Fan Mail

Starfield officially launches on Wed, Sept. 6, although players with the Constellation edition or Premium edition upgrade can get access five days earlier. But even though it’s not quite out yet, the headlines this week have been buzzing about Bethesda’s newest RPG. So for our main topic, we’re looking at a roundup of Starfield headlines, including the Starfield leaker who was arrested after allegedly stealing copies of the game, Todd Howard's claim that Starfield "doesn't really even get going until you finish the main quest," and how Starfield's player character was initially going to be voiced.

We'll also be discussing Epic Games' new program that will offer devs a 100% revenue split for launching their game exclusively on the company's store, how Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka says pixel art won't be a viable style for Sonic in 10 to 20 years, and how the newly announced Qomp2 is Atari’s thrilling continuation of the Pong saga.

Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, Professor Ryebread is sharing his top 5 list of influential women in the gaming industry.

Send us Fan Mail

Gamescom Opening Night Live has officially kicked off, bringing with it dozens of new trailers and deep dives into upcoming games, including Black Myth Wukong, Little Nightmares III, Assassin's Creed Mirage, and more. We go over the show's biggest announcements and discuss what we're most excited (and not so excited) to see in the year to come.

We'll also be talking about the newly unveiled Atari 2600+, how Sony's handheld gaming device Project Q now has a proper name and a price, and how the developers of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game have promised it will not face the same legal obstacles as their previous title, Friday the 13th.

Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the early history of North American video game game shows.

Episode 86 - Developers Are Panicking About Baldur’s Gate 3...Or Are They?

vendredi 18 août 2023 • Durée 01:14:19

Send us Fan Mail

A video by IGN claiming “Baldur’s Gate 3 is Causing Some Developers to Panic” has stirred up quite a buzz in the gaming world this week. The video (which suggests that game devs are unhappy about being expected to meet the high standard set by titles like Baldur's Gate 3) already has over a million views on YouTube alone.

The idea has struck a cord with gamers who are tired of the microtransaction-leaden glitch fests that make up much of AAA gaming these days. However, as is usually the case, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. We look at both sides of the issue posed by this video and give our take on concrete ways gamers can help to steer the industry in a better direction.

We'll also be discussing Xbox's new "strike" system that's intended to curb online harassment, how Netflix is testing game streaming on smart TVs and desktop browsers, and how John Carmack finally made his return to QuakeCon for the first time in a decade.

Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're taking a closer look at how Japan avoided the 1983 video game crash.
