The show kicks off with Sam talking about his time at DICE. The impression he got while there is that alot of the developers of more traditional games aren’t sure about the more casual platforms like Facebook. From developers reactions it seems they want to make the Facebook devs part of the conversation but also keep them at a distance.
Some Sonic fans have planned a very interesting boycott. To protest of Sonic 4 which is apparently not what they want they will buy Sonic 1. This led to some pretty funny comments on the news article which the crew proceed to read out.
Recession gaming this week is Cream Wolf, yet another game from Adult Swim. You play an ice cream truck driver who is also a werewolf, it’s a very simple but charming game by all accounts. It was developed by Pixel Jam which leads to Sharkey going on a small rant about how great their games are.
A lot has happened since Sam was on the show, so we spend some time catching up with him and what he did at DICE. Also, we explore how throwing money at a company is the same as boycott their products (it isn’t), Itagaki settles with Techmo, and Sharkey gives us his recession picks of the week.
