GWJ Conference Call Episode 162

by Jonathan Downin in GamesNovember 18th, 2009 @ 4:27 am

Gamers with JobsThe big Dragon Age discussion took place last week, but Julian is back so he has to get some comments in about his experience with the game. Needless to say, everyone is still enjoying it. Although it isn’t the type of game that usually appeals to the GWJ crew, Modern Warfare 2 also receives some time, with mostly positive comments. The timestamp is 15:00 – 26:00 if you are still in a no info zone on the game.

Half Minute Hero, New Super Mario Bros.Wii and Forza 3 get mentions before the group moves on to this week’s topic on sequels. The opinion of sequels has been changing in recent years and with good reason. They are no longer simple updates used as cash-ins by publishers. They often offer refined experiences in already familiar worlds, which is often what people really want. The idea of innovation being overrated is also discussed here.

The guys take some time at the end of the show to clarify the details of the exclusive content for the iPhone app which we discussed on the last CastMedium Podcast. The extra content will be bundled together and offered for free sometime in the future, so no purchase is necessary.

Covered games and topics: Dragon Age, Modern Warfare 2, Half Minute Hero, New Super Mario Bros.Wii, Forza 3, sequels and overrated innovation, EA current situation, emails, natal, iPhone app

This week we absolutely do not talk about “No Russian” in Modern Warfare 2. Seriously, we might be the only podcast that doesn’t, but we will if you REALLY want us to. We do talk about sequels and look at where EA stands now two years since the last time we stuck them under the microscope.

Runtime – 1:22:06
