Remap Radio 148 — It’s in the Game. Or Is it?
6d ago02:54:36Tap to summarizeThere’s little evidence the Electronic Arts going private because it’s being bought by a Saudi Arabian-backed financial group is good for the industry, but who was expecting good news these days? Rob, Chia, and Patrick mull this latest development, news that Sony isn’t giving back any tariff money, and talk about a bunch of games, including Chia’s adventures at GenCon and Patrick finishing 007: First Light alongside dumping a whole bunch of hours into Game Freak’s Beast of Reincarnation. Oh, and how would we re-imagine a football video game?Links: EA bought by Saudi Arabia, Sony recieves Tarrif Refund, Motherboards are getting more expensiveDiscussed: 00:39 - Tyranny & Peter Molyneux11:26 - The John Company Megagame26:39 - EA purchased by Saudi Arabia 1:08:08 - Sony receives tariff refunds 1:15:30 - Motherboards are going to become more expensive1:21:26 - Beast of Reincarnation 1:50:46 - Chia's Gen Con Adventures2:11:42 - Theater of Idols2:23:19 - 007: First Light 2:32:10 - Boreal Tenebrae Act 0: Sundowning2:37:25 - The Question Bucket2:48:26 - Outro See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Transcribe →Samuel Horti on Super Mega Baseball
2w ago01:10:32Tap to summarizeSamuel Horti joins Rob to talk about Super Mega Baseball. They discuss its brilliant “traits” system, never-to-be-beaten difficulty settings, delightfully slippery pitching and batting controls, and the “just-enough” franchise mode. They also discuss whether the game is truly an arcade baseball game, or if it’s occupying space that hardcore sims began from in the SNES and Pentium eras.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Transcribe →Sports! - World Cup Fever
3w ago01:44:53Tap to summarizeA beautiful game deserves a beautiful podcast, so Janet and Rob sat down to discuss the 2026 World Cup. Is Argentina that punchable or are people just tired of them? Does soccer romanticize a rags-to-riches pastime that is increasingly at odds with a stratified global sport that permits a dwindling number of real contenders? Can an event like the World Cup be ruined by the rancid politics of the host nation and amoral opportunism of its governing body? Where is Janet going next for her soccer fix? Also: did cycling’s paranoia about doping cause one of its stars to crash out of the Tour de France?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

4w ago03:09:29Tap to summarizeWhen in doubt, use a bout of insomnia to justify the purchase of a fancy new PC accessory. Maybe this, though, will be the one that makes Rob’s dreams come true. On the latest episode of Remap Radio, Patrick and Chia remain a bit skeptical. Still, we indulge in much car talk, accessory talk, and eventually, game talk. Has EA already broken College Football? Has Rob ascended in Marathon? If a game includes AI, then removes AI, does that make it okay to play?Links: With Microtransactions Gone, It's Time to Reevaluate College Football 27's Single-Player Modes, How Microtransactions (Almost) Ruined Gaming, with Dan Soder | PTFO, College Football 27 update focuses on Dynasty.

Transcribe →The Xbox Reset Is Here
Jul 701:10:30Tap 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.
