Paul is not in the podcast, and will be out for the next couple of weeks as he recovers from major surgery. In the meantime, the podcast chugs on with three podcasters, as Jordan relays what he thought of the Sony Gamescom 2012 press conference.

In the meantime, the news items include:

Diablo III‘s Wilson on former Diablo dev’s mixed feelings on game: “F— that loser”
Guild Wars 2 headstart begins in five days
C&C: Generals 2 will be multiplayer-only at launch
Prey 2 vanishing from Bethesda’s website explained
Plants vs Zombies 2 shuffling towards 2013 release

All that plus Reader Feedback wishing Paul well (sorry, Kizer, we didn’t moderate your message til after recording), as well as this week’s Question of the Week, “When is the right time to cut the price of a console?”

This week’s episode features the crew heavily reminiscing about videogames that first got them excited about the hobby, while Jordan Lund surprisingly takes a contrary opinion that shocks the other podcasters. In addition to videogame news, the Gaming History takes a look at the Nintendo 64DD.

This week’s news includes:

Star Wars: The Old Republic going free-to-play in Fall
Report: Next Xbox console will support Windows 8
Paul Dini no longer penning Rocksteady Batman games
2K exec thinks photorealism is necessary for emotional games
Borderlands 2 worldwide release will be “uncut“

This week, the full man crew is back, and incredibly deep-voiced as they proclaim themselves the Protectors of Humanity™, as Mass Effect 3 launches today. The Gaming Flashback is a Gaming Preview of Assassin’s Creed 3.

This week’s news includes:

Microsoft: Xbox Live Arcade will be phased out eventually
Leaked images “nothing to do with” Doom 4, fans will “see awesome”
SimCity 5 coming in 2013
GAME drops 5% in shares after Mass Effect 3 no-show

This week, Paul can’t make it, so we bring on a Paul substitute, Dan Quick of the PolyCast podcast – and the show doesn’t skip a beat thanks to Dan behaving like Paul without realizing it. This week’s Gaming Flashback explodes like a blood sausage with Wasteland.

This week’s news items include:

Dashboard update gives Indie Marketplace more visibility
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 outed by Amazon France
Skyrim DLC won’t follow same model as Fallout DLC
Electronic Arts terminates “free Battlefield 3 for preordering Mass Effect 3” deal early
Alan Wake on PC because Remedy “a nagging little kid” to Microsoft

In addition, we have Reader Feedback for Paul’s Pixie Diamonds contest – the winners will be determined next week. The contest’s Question of the Week remains the same: “Who is your favorite Disney Prince or Hero, and why?”

One thing Activision does very well with the Call of Duty series is making you feel like you’re part of the war and not just a gamer. It may be the coloring, the life-like environments, explosions or movie-style filtering, whatever it is makes their series feel like a world at war.

Now, we’re heading back to WWII but from a brand new perspective, the Pacific Theatre. Why did it take so long to produce a game in this area of the world? Our guess, to gain the intensity and power of the battle we needed higher end console/pc processors to properly render the jungles, waters and terrains in a life-like manner.

Or, maybe nobody thought of it? In any case this is a must buy game for myself and probably many others, regardless to multi-player capabilities. World at War will be released for Wii, PS3, PS2, Xbox 360, and PC.
