It is with a heavy heart that we share that the XCOM and Star Wars mashup, Star Wars: Zero Company, seems pretty good. You have another video game to play this year. At least, that’s what Rob told Patrick and Chia on this episode of Remap Radio, where we chat about turn-based Clone Wars, Twitch’s shockingly honest admission about AI, why nobody should work at Saber Interactive, the great time Patrick’s having repairing electronics in ReStory, and more.Links: Saber Interactive CEO Responds to Accusations, Twitch Makes AI Training Opt-Out.

Remap Radio 148 — It’s in the Game. Or Is it?

There’s little evidence the Electronic Arts going private because it’s being bought by a Saudi Arabian-backed financial group is good for the industry, but who was expecting good news these days? Rob, Chia, and Patrick mull this latest development, news that Sony isn’t giving back any tariff money, and talk about a bunch of games, including Chia’s adventures at GenCon and Patrick finishing 007: First Light alongside dumping a whole bunch of hours into Game Freak’s Beast of Reincarnation. Oh, and how would we re-imagine a football video game?Links: EA bought by Saudi Arabia, Sony recieves Tarrif Refund, Motherboards are getting more expensiveDiscussed: 00:39 - Tyranny & Peter Molyneux11:26 - The John Company Megagame26:39 - EA purchased by Saudi Arabia 1:08:08 - Sony receives tariff refunds 1:15:30 - Motherboards are going to become more expensive1:21:26 - Beast of Reincarnation 1:50:46 - Chia's Gen Con Adventures2:11:42 - Theater of Idols2:23:19 - 007: First Light 2:32:10 - Boreal Tenebrae Act 0: Sundowning2:37:25 - The Question Bucket2:48:26 - Outro See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Remap Radio 147: A Portentous Pod

Samuel Horti on Super Mega Baseball

Samuel Horti joins Rob to talk about Super Mega Baseball. They discuss its brilliant “traits” system, never-to-be-beaten difficulty settings, delightfully slippery pitching and batting controls, and the “just-enough” franchise mode. They also discuss whether the game is truly an arcade baseball game, or if it’s occupying space that hardcore sims began from in the SNES and Pentium eras.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
