Episode 302: Just a TwosomeEpisode 302: Just a Twosome

This week Jonah and Jordan go it alone without Paul, which is unfortunately since the Gaming Flashback is the classic Nintendo 64 title Paper Mario. It might be just as well as the events of the last week made the crew ramble on about the industry at length, making the post much longer than usual.

This week’s impressive news items:

John Riccitiello steps down as CEO of Electronic Arts
Firaxis announces Brave New World expansion for Civilization V
Will fans back an Alice 3 Kickstarter, asks American McGee
Lord British explains Shroud of the Avatar‘s offline gameplay and DRM
Facebook of Italian automobile company mentions “Gran Turismo PS4″
Team Meat sitting out on developing for next-gen consoles

Lots of Reader Feedback, but no Question of the Week this week – just too much show.

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.
