Remap Radio – Details, episodes & analysis

Fresh off watching Nintendo’s latest Indie World showcase, Remap Radio gathers to mull the endgame of the Nintendo Switch. Join Janet, Patrick, Cado, and Rob as they also wonder: hey, was that Apple TV Tetris movie any good? Elsewhere, Rob and Patrick work through some mixed feelings on Star Wars Outlaws, we try to unpack Concord’s failure to launch and what it says about Sony’s broader live service strategy, and everyone’s feeling Tactical Breach Wizards. In The Question Bucket, we asked and you delivered: more delicious corporate jargon.

Discussed: Nintendo Direct 2:44, Star Wars Outlaws 32:02, Deadlock Exists 1:10:20, Concord 1:16:10, Stormgate 1:44:03, Age of Mythology Retold 1:49:16, Tactical Breach Wizards 2:03:24, Janet's Jak II Adventures 2:21:36, The Question Bucket 2:26:06, Outro and Announcements 2:45:12

Somehow, Peter Molyneux returned. But so did Remap Radio, as Patrick, Janet, Cado, and Rob gathered to discuss Gamescom. In fact, Janet had a chance to play some of those games, including Avowed, Little Nightmares III, Winter Burrow, and more. Patrick’s spent time with gaming’s latest culture war, Black Myth: Wukong, while Rob’s been stuck in digital submarines in UBOAT. Elsewhere, Patrick and Cado have both been enjoying the tactical pixel RPG Arco, and in The Question Bucket, we ponder more about Molyneux and our favorite corporate jargon.

Discussed: Gamescom Opening Night 2:20, Monster Hunter Wilds 20:14, Directive 8020 35:26, Lost Records 39:29, Avowed 55:57, Funko Fusion 1:05:39, Winterburrow 1:07:07, Black Myth: Wukong's Whole Deal 1:09:50, Arco 1:38:01, Destroyer: The U-boat Hunter 1:51:43, The Question Bucket 2:06:33

We begin where all good podcasts begin, of course, with Patrick, Rob, Janet, and Cado talking about Bionicle. Eventually, this all starts to make sense, as Rob has been playing a lot of Cataclismo, a strategy game with some Lego-like mechanics. We also unpack Microsoft’s recent (but unsurprising?) shifts with Xbox Game Pass, what “success” means for a game in Early Access, and why we’re so drawn to goofy games liked Chained Together and The Game of Sisyphus. And finally, listeners wrote in with more tales of dealing with conspiracy theories.

Discussed: Cataclismo 40:06, Game Pass Pricing Changes 1:15:35, Manor Lords Publisher Defends Dev 1:50:14, Chained Together 2:12:42, Question Bucket 2:26:32

Welcome to Remap Radio, a new podcast from the creators of Waypoint Radio. Rob, Patrick, and Cado gather to discuss what happened in the aftermath of being laid off, and how they ended up banding together to form a company and go into business together. What followed was an intense few weeks of talking with lawyers, searching for a new identity, and much more. We also spend time re-introducing ourselves. If you don’t know who we are, come say hello!

And now, the conclusion of Patrick’s ongoing interview series from Summer Game Fest, featuring conversations with the developers of Bounty Star (mechs!), Hello Kitty (cats!), SteamWorld Heist 2 (tactics!), and Cairn (rocks!).

It’s impossible to begin anywhere but with the ongoing, evolving, and increasingly upsetting story surrounding the popular streamer Herschel "Guy" Beahm, aka Dr. Disrespect, and what it says about applications of justice at places like YouTube and Twitch. We touch on the Elden Ring difficulty discourse, in light of Shadow of the Erdtree dropping, before chatting about Janet revisiting Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Patrick digging deep into Nine Sols, and the group wondering if the game of the year is The Game of Sisyphus, a game about rolling a boulder. Oh, and there’s another installment in Landlord Talk (™). This one somehow involves a funeral.

Discussed: Remap's Anniversary Stream 16:28, Dr. Disrespect Was Twitch Banned for Sexually Explicit Messages to a Minor on Twitch 30:26, The Difficulty Discourse Returns around Elden Ring DLC 1:10:30, An Early Question Bucket 1:28:17, One Million Checkboxes 1:42:53, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth 1:43:30, Nine Sols 1:59:41, The Game of Sisyphus 2:02:13, Farm Simulator 19 2:15:57, Outro and Announcements 2:27:45

It’s time for another round of interviews from Patrick’s time at Summer Game Fest earlier this month. Today, it’s conversations with the developers behind Sony’s tremendous-looking platformer Astro Bot, Blumhouse’s debut into video games Fear the Spotlight, and the exceptionally quirky but undeniably charming indie romance game Building Relationships.

Rob, Patrick, and Janet discuss the Nintendo Direct, the cancellation of Life by You and the cycle of missteps at Paradox Interactive, the ups-and-downs of Eugen Systems’ RTS games, and life aboard a haunted oil rig in Still Wakes the Deep. But first, the gang show what it means to live the Good Life by discussing Selaco, the Doom-derived FEAR-like that has been kicking butts and (trailer voice) BLOWING THEIR MINDS.

Discussed: 3:32 - Selaco, 28:42 - Nintendo Direct, 1:13:07 - Life by You & Paradox Interactive, 1:27:43 - A brief Bloodborne Interlude, 1:32:08 - CATO, 1:38:50 - CONSCRIPT, 1:44:34 - Glyphica: Typing Survival, 1:50:23 - Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, 1:54:16 - I Am Your Beast, 2:02:42 - WARNO, 2:14:24 - Still Wakes the Deep

Patrick recently attended Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest in sunny Los Angeles, California, and came back with a whole bunch of interesting interviews with interesting developers about interesting games. You’ll hear those interviews over the next few weeks, starting with conversations featuring the developers of Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure, Harmonium: The Musical, and Neva. There’s more to come, including, of course, Astro Bot!
