Remap Radio is a new podcast from the creators of the long-running video game podcast Waypoint Radio. Join Rob Zacny, Chia Contreras, Patrick Klepek, and their friends and colleagues as they set off on a new adventure that has them obsessing over the video game Dragon’s Dogma nearly as much as they question the nature of capitalism.

Has it really been [checks notes] four months since an episode of Sports!? Don’t worry, your patience will be rewarded, especially if you wait until the end, when Patrick reveals a story he’s been sitting on for weeks that had Rob trying to avoid breaking his monitor. 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.

There 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.

Patrick’s third Summer Game Fest comes to a conclusion with the second installment in his two-part diary series, where he walks you through his thoughts, reactions, interviews, and observations from the show. Some of this was recorded from home, some was recorded directly on-site, reflecting the way so much of Summer Game Fest continues after the show is “over.”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.

Alas, 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.

Patrick always brings a microphone with him to Summer Game Fest, but this year, he decided to record his observations and interviews in real-time. Join Patrick he travels to Los Angeles to navigate seemingly endless and confusing embargoes, play lots of video games, and like usual, talk to many of the people making them, too.00:00:00 - Intro 00:9:10 - Day 1 Recap00:12:35 - Ballgame00:42:31 - Day 2 Recap00:45:10 - Recur1:00:51 - Rayman Legends Retold1:04:40 - Trine 61:17:53 - Armatus1:20:37 - Silent Hill Townfall1:23:39 - End of Abyss1:25:40 - Phantom Blade Zero1:29:17 - Out of Words1:46:02 - Day 3 Preamble1:51:41 - OutroSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Summer 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.

Breaking News: three members of Remap Radio are really enjoying 007 First Light, a new stealth/action/Hitman-esque game from the developers behind, of course, Hitman. But Janet, Rob, Patrick, and Chia are also enjoying and thinking about other things, including apocalyptic signs in the PC buying market, the return of “due to ongoing market conditions” (now with a jingle!), and questions about what it means to return to The Witcher 3 so years later. Plus, Patrick has dug deep into Mina the Hollower and is trying to drag Janet and Chia down with him.Links: Bungie Layoffs, Valve raises prices on Steamdeck, Gamers Nexus: The Collapse of Personal Computing, New Witcher 3 Expansion Announced00:00:00 - Intro0:05:24 - 007 First Light1:14:31 - Bungie Headed Towards Massive Layoffs1:19:06 - Steam Deck Raises Prices1:26:24 - The Collapse of Personal Computing2:03:58 - The Witcher 3 is getting a new Expansion2:23:03 - But Whatabout Moonlight?2:31:36 - Mina the HollowerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The developers of Shovel Knight are, at long last, back with a new game—and despite the long wait, it’s absolutely fantastic. Mina the Hollower is a love letter to topdown games like Zelda, mixed in with elements of Castlevania, Dark Souls, and many others. It’s also had a long journey towards release, which was a topic of conversation during a recent chat Patrick had with Yacht Club Games’ founder and director Sean Velasco and programmer David D’Angelo.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
