Retronauts Episode 92: 05/13/2010

by Ross Adams in Games637 days ago

There is a distinct lack of retro news and releases lately so this weeks episode opens with some lamenting of that fact. The guys briefly talk about what little news there is, including Earthworm Jim on DSi, Game Rooms latest releases and Steam on Mac bringing Lucasarts adventure games with it. The first of two main segments has Frank Cifaldi going over a feature he’s been running on 1UP, reporting on the new from 20 years ago. The segment is mostly taken up by Frank going over the events followed by some brief discussion and often contension...

The Oddcast

The Oddcast: 05/06/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games645 days ago

Tina starts the cast with talk of her visit to Pixar and the recent user blog on 1UP that called for her to be fired. Halo Reach gets a little time before the group moves on to word that Gears of War will run at only 30fps. Word that total DS sales have already surpassed lifetime GameBoy sales in about a quarter of the time kicks-off the news. James Silva has “sold out,” with his next game going straight to XBLA– in 2012. And, there are even more updates to the Respawn/Activision situation. In Recession Gaming, the group talks...

This week, the podcast former known as…will be known as 1UPchuck. Jeremy takes the helm again but announces this will be his last week and it sounds like we will finally get to see the future of the flagship next week. This week is shaping up to be the Activision episode. First up, the news that Bungie signed a 10 year publishing agreement with Activision sent the games world for a spin and Frank Cifaldi clarifies some of the details. The next Call of Duty game, Black Ops, was also just announced and is the next game from Treyarch and the...

Things kick off this week with the guys discussing whether Gordon Ramsay should be added to their list of enemies of food. Following on from the bad CGW covers feature is an upcoming bad EGM covers feature, Mike shares some stories about why he personally isn’t a fan of some of the covers. Checking in for some gaming updates immediately gets sidetracked by Mike wondering why Pikachu never evolved into Raichu on the Pokemon anime. Jade surprisingly knows the answer and informs everyone about an episode which focused on the very question. Movies...

4 Guys 1UP

Formerly 4 Guys 1UP: 04/24/2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games656 days ago

We finally hear a peep from the flagship 1up podcast, headed up again by Jeremy Parish and being called “The Ugly Babycast” for the week. The show starts off with Jeremy, Sam, Frank, Ray and Cameron Davis from Krome Studios discussing the exodus from Infinity Ward to Respawn Entertainment as they haven’t had a show since it started happening. The show then switches gears to a separate recorded segment which includes Tina and Nelson talking with Jeremy about seeing the Halo Reach beta. More somber talk of the recent Sega layoffs...

Retronauts Episode 91: 04/16/2010

by Alex Martin in Games665 days ago

Jeremy takes a back seat to Frank for this reunion episode with Tengen programmers Steve Woita, Franz Lanzinger, and Mark Morris. Tengen was Atari’s console publishing and development branch, porting arcade games to the NES, and later to the Genesis. Nintendo’s strict restrictions on NES developers — manufacturing cartridges, dictating the number that were manufactured, and taking a large cut of the profit for themselves — made for an oppressive atmosphere. Tengen mostly made games without Nintendo’s Seal of Approval,...

4 Guys 1UP: 03/26/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games683 days ago

It is another non-traditional show this week with a roundtable discussion about the Nintendo 3DS starting the conversation. Chris Kohler lays-out the “facts” and then the group gets into their thoughts about the DS successor. The opinions range from hopeful to skeptical with some almost heated moments of discussion between Jeremy and Chris, but it is safe to say that Nintendo knows how to mix things up. The next few segments are interviews and they are a great addition to the show. Consultant, and creator of Marble Madness, Mark Cerny...

Retronauts Episode 85: 01/21/2010

by Ross Adams in Games749 days ago

Microsoft’s Game Room is the first thing up for discussion in retro news, there is some debate whether Microsoft can realistically hit thousands of games within a year. This leads into a more general discussion about downloadable retro titles and the fact that the game room interface seems like a nicer or more interesting interface for that sort of thing. Capcom’s fake retro revival of Dark Void is an interesting experiment and the crew enjoy the fabricated story behind it. Jeremy makes the comparison to Retro Game Challenge but feels...

Retronauts Episode 84: 01/07/2010

by Ross Adams in Games763 days ago

While other podcasts reflect on the year just past Retronauts looks back a little further, specifically to 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990 and 1995. There’s some retro news to be covered first, the bulk of the discussion is about the disdain for Final Fight 3 and the mixed reactions to the recently released Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth. 1975 is only briefly talked about, with Pong home consoles being the most notable gaming event of note. Once they get into more eventful years like 1985 and 1990 the guys get very in depth with the goings on in...
