This episode is, in effect, a brilliant oral history of PlayStation’s European launch. Super recommended.

The Game Business @thegamebusiness.com · 4d

In today's edition of The Game Business, we spoke to PlayStation legends including Chris Deering & Jim Ryan to celebrate 30 years since the PS1 launch in Europe. Did you know Sony almost bought Bullfrog? And wanted the FIFA licence? Loads more in here

Chris, at the risk of sounding like a fanboy, this was a spectacular listen. Informative. Insightful. Entertaining. Tick! Tick! Tick! Thank you!

Daniel New @olddannew.bsky.social · 5d

This was a supremely satisfying build.

Nintendo players finally get a modern, competitive version of EA Sports FC, though some compromises remain.

Oh it’s long gone now. It was called a The BGM Show but I think newer pods are using the name. Loving what you’re doing!

As someone who hosted a ‘not-unpopular’. video game music podcast for a few years; I really enjoyed this.

Consider me part of the ‘AV club’! 😝

After many aborted attempts, I finally played Yakuza 0.

Thumbsticks @thumb-sticks.bsky.social · 10d

How many platforms does it take to finally start a game? For Yakuza 0, our answer is: 3! Here's the first article in our new From the Backlog strand.

From the Backlog: Yakuza 0 - Thumbsticks

Yakuza 0 mixes crime drama, absurdity, and unexpected heart. After years on the backlog, it’s well worth the wait.

Well deserved!

Daniel New @olddannew.bsky.social · 15d

Another corker. The recent super-high quality of this podcast is getting tiring, frankly. Good stuff! ❤️

New episode! The best games of 2017. A great year for games, but a challenging year for Matthew Castle. It's almost three hours long. Sorry!

Playing Yakuza 0 ahead of the upcoming @intothecast.bsky.social bonus episode. (Excited!) I love that Kiryu runs as a default, and a button press is used to slow him to a walk. More games should do that.

The art of the release date has never been more unfathomable. Another great episode.

The Game Business @thegamebusiness.com · 16d

Newzoo thinks some AAA companies are getting release dates wrong. But is that fair? We are joined by Emmanuel Rosier to discuss the pressures around when to launch your game

Are video game companies getting their release dates wrong?

Plus! What does the GDC rebrand really mean for attendees?

I'd sub this! Have you read Mad Men Carousel?

Daniel New @olddannew.bsky.social · 20d

This is truly amazing. Thank you! ❤️

Chris Chapman @retrohistories.bsky.social · 20d

Podcasting is now twenty years old. And that means shows that ran for years are now just a bunch of URLs that resolve to nothing.

Sometimes, someone uploads a full set of mp3s to archive.org, and that’s great! But you can’t easily listen the same way as your other podcasts.

What if you could?

It’s Sunday. Kick back and take stock with over 2 hours of Silksong chat.

Featuring positivity, reflection, a few jokes and the wildest take on runbacks you’re ever likely to hear, described elsewhere as a “true collectors item”.
