Episode 464: EA’s Star Wars Battlefront II plansEpisode 464: EA’s Star Wars Battlefront II plans

Since the podcast recording last Wednesday had audio issues and the news was, frankly, boring, the crew decided to record a new 464th episode on Easter Sunday, after some more interesting stuff was announced near the end of the week. That, and Scott expresses his enthusiasm for Thimbleweed Park, the spiritual successor to Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle, using a SCUMM-like interface.

This week’s news items include:

Diving into Project Scorpio’s backwards compatibility, 4K, VR, and 1080p support
Nintendo discontinues the NES Classic Edition
It looks like Star Wars: Battlefront II will ditch the Season Pass

All that and some Listener Feedback.

Gaming Podcast 193: Hammer of RighteousnessGaming Podcast 193: Hammer of Righteousness

This week’s gaming podcast is a bit short on news and lacks a gaming history segment but we still managed to bust out a 1-hour show, so who knows how we pulled that off. The news is light, perhaps because of the US semi-holiday known as Columbus Day or because no company wants to rattle the news waves while they’re working on finalizing holiday launch titles. In any case, we’ve got Chrono Trigger as our flash back and this as our news:

Microsoft closing Massive
McDonalds and Zenga team up
Ubisoft releases Project Legacy on Facebook

The question of the week, what actor do you want to see do a voice-acting role in a video game?
