Transcribe →The Xbox Reset Is Here
1w ago01:10:30Tap to summarizeWe knew Xbox was going to undergo a massive transformation, and now we have some of the details of what that transformation will look like. A combination of mass layoffs and studio divestments is leaving Xbox in a very different place. But what does the future like? What kinds of games will Xbox prioritize in the future? What does it mean to have ambitions of a billion players each day—and will that very priority ruin Xbox? Rob and Patrick unpack the latest news.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

3w ago01:28:59Tap to summarizePatrick, Mr. Kirkland himself, has made the trip to the east coast to meet up with Chia and Rob, which can only mean one thing: Rob's breaking in his brand new Costco membership under the tutelage of the master himself.

3w ago02:22:34Tap to summarizeHas it really been [checks notes] four months since an episode of Sports!?

In more pleasant moments, Rob and Patrick weigh their options if a genie granted them tickets guaranteed to make their team lose, the NBA playoffs, and, of course, an early Bears season prediction.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Transcribe →Remap Radio 142: Entering Our 40's Era
4w ago03:12:16Tap to summarizeThere comes a time in every person's life when they must contend with the question: which golf game is for me? For Rob, well he and his dad spent some time this past week hitting the links in PGA 2k25. Patrick and Chia were both won over by a totally Normal Golf Game, (which they will make Rob play next week when the crew gathers at Highground). Unfortunately, there's only so much golfing that can distract from Xbox closing multiple studios, Epic putting AI in Unreal Engine 6, and Don't Nod teetering on the edge of shutting down for good. As bleak as the AAA space is, at least Steam Next Fest has given Patrick and Chia games to look forward to in the indie zone, including Penguin Colony, the next game from the folks who made Umurangi Generation, and even more golf in the form of Sting and Swing, a stylish looking metroid-vania golfing game.Reminder: Last year, the pro-Palestinian human rights movement BDS that’s pressuring Israel by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country added Xbox to its boycott list.

Jun 1202:59:13Tap to summarizeAlas, it’s time to say goodbye to another round of trailermania, but in the meantime, there’s so much for Rob, Patrick, Janet, and Chia to discuss. Besides mulling the latest bleak news about the future of Xbox and GOG sending out weird emails, Janet and Patrick were at Summer Game Fest and walked amongst the video games, where there was lots of conversations about the AI alongside hands-on time with games like Alien: Isolation 2, Control Resonant, and more.Reminder: Last year, the pro-Palestinian human rights movement BDS that’s pressuring Israel by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country added Xbox to its boycott list.

Jun 503:02:33Tap to summarizeSummer Game Fest is upon us! But before that, join Patrick, Chia, and Janet as they react to Sony’s lengthy State of Play presentation, and why some of the high-profile games left them feeling a little cold (even if they’re absolutely going to play them). Plus, what to make of Tomb Raider’s AI disclosure? What the heck is a “broughlike”? Do we really need a Rayman Legends remake? Plus, updates on our time with 007 First Light, MapMap, a slew of student games, and more. In The Question Bucket, we ponder if CCU discourse has reached the normies.Links: "Croal lays into "racist" Resident Evil 5," "Did You Mod This" Clip, NYU Gamecenter 2026 Showcase, Amalgam, Deeptower, The Night CourierDiscussed:00:00:00 - Intro00:10:06 - The Sony State of Play00:51:27 - Rayman Legends Retold01:06:58 - Onimusha Way of the Sword01:16:58 - Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantic Reveals AI usage on Steam01:38:00 - 868-BACK01:50:44 - RE502:01:59 - Map Map02:11:58 - Mina the Hollower02:13:41 - 007 First Light02:17:13 - NYU Game Center Showcase02:29:38 - The Question BucketSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
