Is the delay a ploy to keep people on game pass? Or is it really the best thing for the game? Let's talk the double edged blade that is transparency.2021-08-211h 15YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Indie Genre TrapAs block buster games grow ever bigger, the pool of triple A genres seems to shrink. What do I mean? Well, it seems like certain genres of games are becoming relegated entirely to the indie scene and we have some theories as to why.2021-08-121h 24YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Super Happy Fun EpisodeThe last two episodes were a bit too serious.

It's the latest it what is sure to be a forever growing list of live service games. Of the infinite ideas for a title, of the myriad of ways you can communicate the on going, ever living, never ending nature of your new money-milking game - why do they all keep using the word "infinite"? Because marketing is full of dudes with no imagination and a finite supply of ideas as it were.   Anyway, we talk about live service games, Switch OLED and the soon to be u...2021-07-081h 07YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Sony & Anthropomorphic Frogs Sony talked mad trash about Microsoft's acquisitions run.

Shine on!2021-06-171h 12YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Boonta Eve ClassicWe're on the eve of E3 2021 and the world could go topsy turvy. Why? Because, even though it is virtual this year - it might be an epic year. Maybe they are going all out BECAUSE it's virtual. Last week we focused entirely on Nintendo, this week we run down the other bingo cards and talk some fresh Nintendo and Microsoft rumors.2021-06-101h 14YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Nintendo E3 2021 Bingo We tried live streaming the podcast for the first time ever - whether you watched live or are listening later, let us know how you like this.   In this episode we make our predictions for Nintendo's E3 2021 line up.

Huber, Isla, and Matt Simmons of YoVideoGames each sit down with Damiani to share what they each hope Nintendo will bring to the table, as well as take a brief stroll down memory lane to recall some early E3 experiences.2021-06-022h 03YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Resident Evil Village Deep DiveThis week we have our buddy Mike, Actor, Writer, resident RE expert, on the show to do a deep dive into RE8 with us.

Oh and we talk about the Resident Evil Demo too.2021-04-221h 30YoVideogames!YoVideogames!The Cross Gen Years In the year 2021, a small, relatively common microchip was in short supply. This caused a shortage on many electronics but was most notably noticed in Next Gen Gaming Consoles. The shortage of consoles was further exacerbated by scalpers buying and holding the systems to sell at insane prices. This led to next gen games having to choose between delay or releasing to sit on shelves because no one had a console to play them on... This is the Cross Gen Years. 2021-04-151h 25YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Hopes for JuneE3 is alive!? Konami will have something to show!? States might fully reopen? Is June hyped up or can we really hope?

They're sorta rare now but at one time they were guaranteed to follow any major motion picture as part of their marketing scheme. Like a soundtrack (remember those!?). This episode we talk about the best, the worst, and the never was that we wish would have happened.2021-04-011h 32YoVideogames!YoVideogames!The Gray Area of PiracyThis episode starts off with confirmed Switch Pro details but then we get into the meat of the episode. It turns out the PS3 and PS4 have a built in expiration dates. And that leads into Piracy as a way to preserve old games that may otherwise disappear.2021-03-251h 04Friend CodeFriend CodeWill Smash Ever Return to EVO?Special guests Simmons of YoVideoGames and JakeJames Lugo join the panel to discuss the implications of the Switch Pro on future releases, what marquee titles Nintendo has in store for the 2nd half of 2021, and what fate awaits Super Smash Bros. now that Sony owns EVO?2021-03-241h 21YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Post Pandemic Event SurvivalOther than Activision Bobby getting a huge payday at the worst possible time, it's been a slow news week. We spend this episode debating whether esports events will make a comeback and more importantly whether I will ever be as attractive as Sam Elliot. Plus a bonus topic are there any directors that have perfect filmographies?2021-03-181h 48YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Staying Mostly Positive About Bethesda & Microsoft I started this episode by making Matt promise to stay positive about Bethesda being bought by Microsoft. We mostly did it. Mostly.   Continuing the pandemic trend of not editing out our tangents and letting you have the longer, more meandering episodes - let me know if you'd like us to go back to 1 hour, strictly on topic style. 2021-03-111h 53YoVideogames!YoVideogames!State of Play Update and Switch Pro LeaksSony's State of Play had a couple surprises, but none quite as big as a confirmed Switch Pro being leaked. It's a roller coaster of emotion for me as I finally see more of Kena, and learn Ember studios might be dirtbags. Jump in and ride with me, doods!2021-03-051h 31YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Premature State of PlaySony has a state of play coming tomorrow and they shadow dropped a few interesting trailers today.

Last of Us 2 has Craig Mazin as its writer which is promising news and as we recorded this Pedro Pascal was announced as playing Joel - something both Matt and I think is a great move. Yep, this episode is all about the video game movies (and Tv series) that are coming soon and updates both promising and upsetting. 2021-02-111h 35YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Human Paradox & Gaming Mystery We start off strong with laser tag, shitty human behavior, debate on the use of nuclear energy and then move into gaming mysteries with a segue as subtle as a brick to the face. If you hear children screaming... Well... keep it to yourself. :P   Shine on doods! 2021-02-041h 23YoVideogames!YoVideogames!And Starring Microsoft as... Goldfinger Last week, before the madness of the stonks - there was an equally mad event. Microsoft doubled the price of its Gold Membership. It... didn't go well. Also we talk about Gamestop's meteoric climb in the stock market. Neither of us are experts, so take our thoughts here with a big ol' grain of SAHLT. 2021-01-281h 14YoVideogames!YoVideogames!To Simp or Not To Simp Today we speculate about Resident Evil day and the news it holds as a lead into the real topic Simping. Also, I start a deeply one-sided feud with some wholesome man puppet named Arlo. A line has been drawn.   Shine on! 2021-01-211h 10YoVideogames!YoVideogames!2021 is CancelledThe Harry Potter RPG got pushed back... I think a lot of games are side eyed staring at Cyberpunk and now they wanna push their games back and maybe cancel last gen versions. Don't even blame them, but it does beg the question... What other 2021 games will be pushed back to next year?2021-01-141h 29YoVideogames!YoVideogames!2020 Rrah-grets!This episode is all about the games we wish we would have played when they came out.

But it has also been a pretty solid year for games. Especially Indie games. And even with all the great games we caught, there were some that flew under the radar.2020-12-311h 25YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Nog Season Member-Berries 'Member that special holiday gift?

The Game Awards. And CDprojektRed's most epic ride to the bottom.   Shine on, and buckle up!2020-12-201h 18YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Trying to Care About Game Awards 2020 With everything that's been said about the game awards, and the clusterf***ck of a year that is 2020, we're having a hard time caring too much about them this year. We keep trying to get back to talking about it, but instead we talk Star Wars, Mario/Nintendo Land and Immortals!   Universal Theme Park Mario Land Pictures: https://themeparkuniversity.com/universal/breaking-super-nintendo-world-to-open-at-universal-studios-japan-february-4-2021/ 2020-12-101h 38YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Timeless Art Styles Slow news week so we get to do an evergreen topic. Having fun talking about timeless art styles we love, and calling out a couple recent games we think will age well.   Shine on! 2020-12-031h 09YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Thanksgaming 2020! It's a long title. Basically, we are trying to predict which game or games came out this year that will be influential/will be included on a games of the decade list in 2029.   Internet was not terribly reliable for this one due to very high winds and so there is some distortion on my side of the conversation which is weird. Sorry. 2020-11-271h 02YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Next Gen Launch Pros and ConsNext Gen has launched - Matt has some hands on time, and gives us some insight into whether it's worth the money to get one right now.

Nothing too serious, just us chatting about game predictions, possible surprises next gen, Sean Connery movies and more! 2020-11-051h 40YoVideogames!YoVideogames!DMCA & You The last week has had a few things happen that seemed to rock the gaming world. Namely, a massive wave of DMCA strikes, and even more evidence of crunch at CD Projekt Red.   This has led to some pretty wild statements over DMCA and copyright in general - so we get into it a little bit to maybe shed a little more light on the situation. 2020-10-291h 19YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Another Next Gen News Round UpFrom Pokemon Source Code to the Death of Quibi - we round up on some of the news that came out this week.2020-10-221h 22YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Gacha Sex AppealGenshin Impact has been a major success... Is it because of Sex Appeal? Is that the most important piece of a free to play success?

Add to that, they delved a little deeper on games we saw earlier this year - and it proved to be a pretty awesome presentation. For our live, more in depth commentary - head over to Youtube and catch the stream archive here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrzqikNH7ms   Today's episode is our recap as well as Matt's big brain theory on what Nintendo/Capcom's announcement today spells for the future of the Switch. 2020-09-181h 13YoVideogames!YoVideogames!It's Time to da-da-da-da DUEL!

Gamescom was... a little bit of a disappointment. There was ONE thing that excited us - Sable! So, we talk about that but then we move on to a question Kaiber asked on twitter.   "Do you think you can judge a game before you finish it?"   Also, I take a minute to commit film nerd blasphemy and rip a tiny bit on Kubrick. So, buckle up them buttholes and listen here! 2020-09-031h 24YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Cold War High ScoreYou know what's two hours long and ranges in topics from CoD Cold War, to Netflix Video Game Docuseries High Score?

Salty? Never!   Expect salt, tangents, and MORE SALT.2020-08-061h 21YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Putting Developers Outside Their Comfort Zone Normally we shorten the intro talk - mostly cus its us bullshi**ing and "warming up" kinda, and also they don't tend to be on topic, so I edit them down, but on this one I figured: quarantine is dragging on, maybe you'd just like to have the extra content and the conversation was good. Bout 25 minutes in we finally get to the topic which is: choosing favorite developers and throwing them into creating a game in a genre totally outside their previous catalog. 2020-07-301h 29YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Xbox Summer Game ShowXbox shows up with a boat load of games to announce - and while none of them are necessarily show stoppers - there are plenty to be excited about.2020-07-241h 32YoVideogames!YoVideogames!It's All Fun & Games Until It's ArtAs we wait for next week, with a possible Nintendo Direct and Microsoft's big summer first party show - we find ourselves discussing Art with a capital A, story as a driving force for future games instead of game play, and whether remakes will take over here like they did in Hollywood.2020-07-161h 24YoVideogames!YoVideogames!A Satisfying ClimaxAn evergreen topic approaches!

Just gotta get over it. Does criticism have value? And if so, what? How do you address it? The last week has forced everyone in gaming to look one of the ugliest aspects of the industry right in it's eyes.2020-07-021h 34YoVideogames!YoVideogames!News Rabbit HoleIt's been an eclectic week - NGPX news, along with the announcement for a moba no one expected, and we discuss some thoughts on Last of Us 2.2020-06-251h 38Friend CodeFriend CodeMin Min Joins Smash ft YoVideoGamesThe YoVideoGames crew of Steve, Kenny, and Simmons enter the fray to discuss the recent announcement of Min Min from ARMS joining Super Smash Bros.

No hard release date, and no price point for the new console is a bit of a let down. But I am sure that once July roles around, we'll get both.2020-06-122h 00YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Best Film Characters for a Fighting GameWe start today's podcast with a brief statement of support for the protests currently sweeping the US and many other nations. We understand that for our listeners this podcast is an escape, however brief, from their daily lives.

Maybe you have an idea for a game, and it's a good one, so you're holding it close in case you ever get to make it... But then you have that idea you want to see so bad you'd give it to anyone who'd make it!    Here's a couple free ideas devs!2020-05-281h 18YoVideogames!YoVideogames!A.I. Social GrowthAI is being used more and more in games. More than I even knew. Games like Dark Souls use it for their bosses, so they learn the most common mistakes we make, and then they take advantage of it. It keeps the difficulty high, no matter how many times we play it. It's sort of genius. But what about for social games? What would it be like to haggle with Tom Nook if Tom figured out you're a shady dick, or a naive bumpkin? Would it be too real if that Fire Emblem Waifu turned out to be fickle...2020-05-211h 11YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Unreal 5 Tech DemoWhat you see, isn't always what you get on a tech demo.

Sometimes companies do this on purpose.2020-04-301h 18YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Perfect Games!How to define a perfect game? Well, to steal from James Gunn (and modify slightly): A game that sings from start to finish with no obvious mistakes or flaws to their structure or gameplay.   What games fit that description? You might be surprised, but some games we don't even like are on there.2020-04-231h 16YoVideogames!YoVideogames!YoVG Final Fantasy 7 Remake Talk w/ Maximilian Dood*SPOILERS*   Listen at your own risk - Matt and Max have an in depth, spoilery as hell conversation about FF7R.   Shine on!2020-04-232h 02YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Rumors!Rumors big and small.

We hope you're all keeping safe during this weird as hell time. Shine on! 2020-04-091h 35YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Survival Horror Sweet Spot What is the sweet spot for game length? Does it differ by genre? Is there a sweet spot at all?   News about RE3R's playtime has some fans deciding to abandon ship.

Games we didn't like the first time we played them, and for what ever reason, tried again only to find we love them. 2020-03-051h 15YoVideogames!YoVideogames!Matt's Adventure in Japan!Matt's home!

It prompted us to have a long conversation about their PR suicide and the new age of game journalism. The reality is, Atlus is perfectly within its legal rights to make these demands really. However, the reality also is, this threat does nothing but hurt them. See streaming is, in many ways, a free way for companies to advertise their games and get word of mouth to spread for free.

Skyrim? *jerks off* Fable? "Oh Fable's good." HA caught him. I guess I don't have to Fus Roh Dah in his face... Or wear all this war paint. I mean, I definitely don't need this axe, but if we're honest I like it more than what's normal. Anyway, this episode is all about new releases in time for the holidays. Such titles as Battlefront, Black Ops 3, and of course Fallout 4. The truth is, Matt isn't particularly excited about any of them...2015-11-1835 min
