Remap Radio

The crew meets under sweltering conditions to discuss how they're coping with the heat and how much they are suffering for their gaming. With her Steam Deck laboring under such conditions, Ren has been playing a bunch of retro-style games including HROT and Demon Lord: Reincarnation. Ren, Cado, and Patrick discuss Remnant 2 as a shockingly great co-op game, and Patrick is delighted by Viewfinder. Then the gang digs into the Question Bucket.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The whole crew is back, which kicks off with the state of play of Activision and Microsoft, a discussion about the state of esports in light of Overwatch League’s likely demise, and Corsair buying the mechanical keyboard company Drop. At the break, Patrick checks in with Hi-Fi Rush director John Johannes about the lack of Zwan music in the game’s DLC, meeting fans in person, and more. In the world of playing games, Ren and Patrick are checking out (and liking!) Remnant II, while Patrick is less satisfied with how Oxenfree II ended up. Finally, The Question Bucket returns to mull refrigerator smells.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With the gang and their friends still wondering where their severance is, they get exciting news about some well-deserved bonuses for their former bosses. Then, they talk about the ruling in the Microsoft-Activision merger case, Home Depot's Halloween lineup, Oxenfree 2, Tyranny, and Aliens: Dark Descent.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Shift+F1 and NoClip's Danny O'Dwyer comes to chat with Patrick and Rob about the Enhanced Games, pro cycling, the other football, celebrity team owners, and Irish sports. We probably talked about even more stuff but honestly it just turned into a good sports hang-out and bounced around a lot with increasingly little structure. Oh but there was a really good listener-submitted quiz that the gang took on pro cycling terms! That was great.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jordan Minor, author of the upcoming book Video Game of the Year (featuring both Patrick and Austin!), joins the rest of the Remap Radio crew to discuss Steam trying to grapple with AI art, and what it means to create in a world of creation-focused algorithms. Elsewhere, we chat about Jordan plotting video game history through his book, Patrick’s played (and enjoyed!) the Pikmin 4 demo, Ren’s dumping many more CRPG hours into Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Tyranny, while Jordan wonders what Pokémon can learn from Cassette Beasts. In The Question Bucket, we consider the nature of nostalgia and whether video game leveling systems make any sense.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is one of the first interviews Patrick recorded as a member of Remap Radio, finally reaching your ears! Patrick and Cado recall their time with Citizen Sleeper as an introduction to Patrick's interview with Gareth Damian Martin, the lead developer behind Citizen Sleeper. They talk about how Citizen Sleeper 2 isn't what you might expect out of a sequel, how it differs from the original both in setting and mechanics, and where both game's narrative inspiration comes from.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As the Microsoft vs. FTC case winds down, the group discusses some of the headlines coming out of the courts, including the mega budgets behind AAA games, the studios Microsoft has considered buying, the possibility of Starfield being a PlayStation exclusive, and more. Elsewhere, Ren has been making poor economic choices in Etrian Odyssey HD, Patrick and Cado have been playing a ton of interesting Steam Next Fest demos, and Cado’s been trying Final Fantasy XVI. Out in the land of The Question Bucket, an AMC insider lets us know the secrets of its drinks.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The world is going gaga for sexy elephant Mario! At least, that’s what the crew at Remap Radio is telling themselves as they recap Nintendo Direct, and wonder if Embracer is a pyramid scheme. Elsewhere, Patrick’s experiencing the highs (hot wizards) and lows (a world not worth exploring) of Final Fantasy XVI, Rob’s really come around on the new Star Trek game, and Ren’s playing [checks notes] every Armored Core. We also find some time for your questions.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Wheel of My Turn rolls ever onward! Rob's pick of The Bourne Legacy was partially a joke, a bit of a dare, but he didn't expect the universe would call his bluff! Remap is picking right up where Waypoint left off with this attempted spin-off sequel to the Bourne franchise that has a lot of "TNT Movie" energy, as Patrick put it. We discuss the very obvious studio influence over the film, the bits that were good, and the Jeremy Renner of it all.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
