Mit Super Metroid hat Nintendo 1994 einen Ausnahmetitel und zweifelsohne einen zeitlosen, ein ganzes Genre begründeten Titel erschaffen. Ja, man muss derart viel Lob für dieses Spiel erlauben; und so machen wir uns ehrfürchtig an diesen Gametalk. Super Metroid markiert bereits den dritten Teil der Metroid-Reihe und schließt auch storytechnisch eine Trilogie ab, die sich über gleich drei Plattformen hinweg erstreckt. Wir ha...

entwickelt und publiziert von Capcom
Capcom hat seine Liebe zum Resident Evil Franchise wiederentdeckt und released nur ein Jahr nach dem großartigen Remake des zweiten Teils (Link zum Gametalk) direkt auch eine Neuauflage zu Resident Evil 3. Doch dass der dritte Ableger eigentlich nie als Teil der Hauptreihe, sondern zunächst nur als Spin-Off zur Vertiefung der Geschehnisse des zweiten Teils geplant war, macht die Hintergründe zur Entwicklungsgeschichte dieses Spiels umso spannender. Im Original noch mit dem...

Nachdem Capcom mit Resident Evil 7 wieder zurück zum Survival Horror Genre gefunden hat, besinnt man sich weiter zurück zu den Wurzeln der Serie. Resident Evil 2 gehört nicht ohne Grund zu den besten Ablegern der Serie, ist nach heutigen Maßstäben im Original jedoch eher schwer zugänglich. Für das Remake stülpte man dem Spiel daher ein zeitgemäßes Gamedesign sowie eine phänomenale Optik drüber...

The Wind Waker(*) hat eine bewegende Geschichte hinter sich – trat es doch das Erbe der beiden großen Vorgänger Ocarina of Time und Majoras Mask an, hievte The Legend of Zelda auf eine neue Konsolengeneration, und musste nach beeindruckenden Rendertrailern die Erwartungen der Fans erfüllen. Nintendo jedoch wählte einen anderen Weg als erwartet, und schuf mit einem völlig unerwarteten Cel-Shading Look einen mittlerweile zeitlosen Klassiker der Reihe. Doch der Weg hin zu diesem Status war nicht einfach, und mit der HD-Version auf der Wii U hat Nintendo noch einmal aufgezeigt, wie schön dieses S...

Und nun ist Quantum Break(*) endlich da, das heiß erwartete Werk des finnischen Studios Remedy aus der Feder von Sam Lake. Quantum Break ist ein ambitioniertes Projekt, welches Spielabschnitte und Live-Action-Serienepisoden vermischt. Dazu können wir den Verlauf des Spiels massiv beeinflussen, und den Verlauf der Zeit verändern – oder doch nicht? Eines ist sicher: bei Quantum Break gibt es massiven Gesprächsbedarf, und diesem wollen wir mit diesem...
2016-05-012h 43PlayTogetherGametalk - Tales from the Borderlands
Telltales Versuch, die Borderlands-Reihe aus dem Universum der Ego-Shooter in ein Adventurekostüm zu zwängen, hat 2015 durchaus für Aufsehen gesorgt. Nach der ersten Season von The Walking Dead greifen Carsten und Benny mal wieder zum Mikrofon, um in diesem Gametalk zu Tales from the Borderlands(*) Fiona und Rhys durch das Wasteland von Pandora zu begleiten.
Wichtige Diskussionspunkte sind die einzelnen Charaktere, wie sich Tales from the Borderlands in den Borderlands-Kanon eingliedert, und was wir uns von einem dritten Teil erhoffen.
Die Story steht nicht im Mittelpunkt, trotzdem gilt eine ausdrückliche Spoilerwarnung, da wir...
2016-03-181h 27PlayTogetherGametalk - Fallout 4 (Teil 1)
Oh wie schön, dass diese Welt untergegangen ist. Es ist mal wieder eines dieser Jahre, in der uns Bethesda in ihre epische Fantasiewelt entführt – in diesem Falle das postapokalyptische Boston des Jahres 2287. Wir sind entzückt, vielleicht ein bisschen zu sehr Fanboy-verblendet, versuchen aber dennoch Fallout 4(*) angemessen zu besprechen – was auch nicht frei von Kritik bleibt. Aufgrund des zeitnahen Releases zum Spiel haben wir uns entschlossen, mehr als einen Gametalk zu Fallout 4 aufzunehmen. In diesem ersten Teil starten wir mit einem weitgehend spoilerfreien Ersteindruck zum Spiel, und versuchen uns auch an einem Vergleich mit den Vorgäng...
2015-12-022h 47PlayTogetherGametalk - Lords of the Fallen
Weiter geht es in unserer Gametalk-Reihe mit Lords of the Fallen(*), welches jüngst beim Deutschen Computerspielpreis ordentlich abgeräumt hat. Carsten und Benny vom Dailydpad rekapitulieren diesen Titel und begleiten den ehemaligen Gefangen und verurteilten Mörder Harkyn auf seinem Weg durch das von Monstern besetzte Kloster Steinwehr. Sie treten noch einmal den namensgebenden Rhogarherrschern gegenüber und erinnern die Ereignisse des Spiels. Bei Lords of the Fallen handelt es sich um ein Action-Rollenspiel von dem deutschen Entwickler Deck13, die vorher hauptsächlich durch Point-and-Click Adventure Aufmerksamkeit erhielten. Ob der Wechsel in ein anderes Genre geglückt is...
2015-05-021h 12PlayTogetherGametalk - The Last of Us
Zum Jahresende wird es einmal mehr Zeit für einen zünftigen Gametalk. Und “The Last of Us” aus dem Hause Naughty Dog ist mehr als nur ein würdiger Vertreter in unserer Podcastreihe der Gametalks, in der wir sehr tief in die Materie eindringen. “The Last of Us” erschien 2013 exklusiv auf der PlayStation 3*, und wurde 2014 noch einmal auf die PlayStation 4 als Remastered Version* portiert. Als Spieler werden wir in eine postapokalyptische Welt geworfen, in der aggressive Pilzinfektionen Menschen in eine Art Mutanten verwandeln. Die Überlebenden haben sich in verschiedenen Gruppen zusammengefunden, was zusätzliches Konfliktpotenzial schürt. In dieser...
2014-12-112h 52PlayTogetherGametalk - Dark Souls
Worin liegt die Faszination, sich in einem Spiel wie Dark Souls* zu verlieren? Ein Spiel, welches seinen Untertitel “Prepare to Die” wörtlich nimmt, dem Spieler große Einstiegshürden vorsetzt und einen hohen Schwierigkeitsgrad aufweist? In dem man wirklich häufig stirbt und dann auch noch dafür bestraft wird? Diese Fragen wollen wir mit diesem Gametalk versuchen zu beantworten. Dark Souls ist ein wahrlich besonderer Vertreter seines Genres, und nun, da auch der zweite Teil auf dem PC erschienen ist, wird es Zeit, auch mal bei PlayTogether darüber zu reden.
Wir haben uns für di...
2014-05-011h 56PlayTogetherGametalk - The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Mit hohen Erwartungen sind wir in dieses Spiel gegangen, schließlich haben wir uns beide zum Release von The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds(*) einen 2DS(*) zugelegt. Keine Frage also, dass wir diesem Systemseller eine eigene Gametalk-Episode widmen.
A Link between Worlds markiert einen Wendepunkt in der Ära von The Legend of Zelda. Behutsam hat Nintendo versucht, die altbekannte, durchaus angestaubte Gameplay-Formel etwas aufzubrechen. Gleichzeitig kehren wir in diesem Spiel zurück in die Spielwelt aus dem SNES-Klassiker A Link to the Past. Wie immer halten wir uns mit Spoilern nicht zurück und...
