We’re back this week, and we’re busting through some news articles dealing with Electronic Arts, Activision, Warhammer and more. Community comments, feedback, flashback and game history. The news articles include:
- Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima thinks consoles are dying
- Warhammer Online overcharging players
- EA picking up exclusive publishing rights to Ex-Infinity Ward Developer‘s new studio
- Activision Ex-Infinity Ward Developer’s drama will delay Modern Warfare 3
Gaming flashback is R-Type, game history is Irem and the question of the week: Will the iPad steal market share from the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS product lines? Or mobile gaming in general?
Episode 490: Switch EmulationEpisode 490: Switch Emulation
This week’s episode was recorded on time, but publication was late thanks to power outages again. There’s no discussion of Nintendo’s $70 cardboard arts and crafts project (that’ll be the subject of the next episode), but a Switch emulator does get some discussion.
The news this week:
- Battlefield 1 is setting one of its maps free this week
- LEGO Incredibles 2 and DC Villains games reportedly in the works
- BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle has nabbed a Western release date
- Stardew Valley creator teases multiplayer
This week’s Question of the Week is again “What popular game did you play long after its initial release?”

Jordan Lund can’t make Episode 280, but fortunately, Paul S. Nowak makes his triumphant return, albeit pumped full of medication. Enjoy his drug-fueled babbling as he waxes poetic on the virtues of playing social networking games while high.
He was lucid enough to discuss the following news items with the gang, however:
- Cryptic calls for new MMO review system
- BioWare Mythic “can’t make all Ultima fans happy” but hope they “enjoy nostalgia”
- PS3 version of Black Ops 2 includes optional hi-res texture install
- Wii U gamepad won’t be sold separately at launch
Gaming Podcast is also running a new contest to win a free Steam code for the hotly anticipated XCOM: Enemy Unknown remake. All listeners have to do is answer the Question of the Week in the comments section, “What is your favorite game from the 1990’s?”
