Jonah suffers from spring flu this episode, which you can probably here in his voice. There’s a long discussion about isometric roleplaying games, and for the first time in a while, there’s no Gaming Flashback.
This week’s news items include:
- id Software partnering with Mad Max dev Avalanche Studios to develop Rage 2
- Radical Heights developer Boss Key Games shuts down
- Platinum claims it will “turn the action genre on its head”
- Redditor leaks potential Star Fox racing spin-off from Retro Studios
Let us know what you think.
The “year” Sony may be talking about is fiscal year 2009… which rolls into March 2010. Although Sony hasn’t tagged either title with an ETA, it’s being assumed that we’re talking 2009 until spring 2010. Given most games launch in the September and October time for the holiday season that leads us to believe it will either arrive for the holiday or slide to 2010. If the title isn’t ready for prime time by the holiday season, can you wait a full year for these games?
