Episode 452: Goodbye Princess Leia, Hello 2017Episode 452: Goodbye Princess Leia, Hello 2017

January 3, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 6:59 pm

The year has ended, as the last podcast of 2016 was recorded last week, and released today. There’s much discussion that was cut out and saved for a future outtakes episode. Regardless, there’s plenty of show to go around, and the sound quality is also far better than ever thanks to Jonah getting a professional headset and mic.

This week’s news includes:

Nintendo registers trademark that could point to a SNES Classic Edition
Windows 10 may be getting a new “Game Mode” option
The next game by That Dragon, Cancer‘s dev is not what you’d expect

This week’s Question of the Week is “What game in 2017 might you buy that you normally wouldn’t?”

The news includes:

Wasteland 3 multiplayer details revealed in new Fig update
Civilization VI offers multiple leaders for each civilization
Turok 2 remake ‘is coming‘ according to Nightdive Studios
Nintendo wanted to buy the rights to Harry Potter in the 1990s

This episode was delayed a few days thanks to some acting work for Jonah Falcon. The podcast moving forward will be recorded on Wednesdays, partly because videogame releases are on Tuesdays. The guys also discuss the disaster No Man’s Sky has been.

This week’s news includes:

EA strongly hints that Mass Effect games will get remastered
No Man’s Sky’s PC patch is out now
NPD: 3DS, Xbox One, And GTA V lead brutal July slump

Titanfall 2 announced by Electronic ArtsTitanfall 2 announced by Electronic Arts

April 11, 2016| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:22 pm

Electronic Arts has officially announced Titanfall 2, releasing a teaser trailer showing a Titan approaching a drop pod and unleashing a sword, bringing the series closer to Pacific Rim.

The publisher was pretty brief in its press release, simply announcing:

“From Respawn Entertainment, the studio that brought you the award-winning Titanfall, comes Titanfall 2. Check out the teaser trailer at Titanfall.com and get a glimpse of what awaits you on the Frontier.

Be sure to mark your calendars for the worldwide debut of Titanfall 2 at 1pm PT on Sunday, June 12 at EA PLAY.”

We’ll be at E3 2016, so when the show comes around, we’ll have all the info for you. It must be noted that EA won’t be on the show floor itself, however.

The episode is a day late, sorry about that, folks. In this episode, we wish Paul was with us to discuss what he thought of the release of Jem and the Holograms in theaters. The banter is strong, but not overstuffed like last week.

Lots of news this week, however:

Konami insists Hideo Kojima still works at company
343 Industries not ruling out PC port of Halo 5
Rebellion rescues Kickstarter backers from GRIN’s bankruptcy
Classic car combat RPG Autoduel may be making a comeback with inXile
Pete Hines: Entire game not on Fallout 4 PC disc
Vivendi seeking more shares of Ubisoft, board seats

The Question on the Week: Do you prefer first person or isometric RPGs?

Only one more episode til the landmark episode that will see Paul ending his tenure as a regular podcast host in this lengthy episode after the week off. The banter is so off the charts, over an hour had to be cut and will be available in a future outtakes episode – as Paul and Scott agree to do a special Dr. Who episode in the near future too. Oh, and Jonah lost his day job.

The news this week includes:

Nintendo names a new leader after sudden death of CEO
Nintendo partners with Niantic Labs for Pokemon on mobile
Hi-Rez Studios: Players make the content everyone is trying to monetise
Frostbite: the PS3 CELL retarded the industry significantly
Windows 10 on Xbox One is called “OneCore”
