Episode 399: No Gribblies in the Slick Future
Jamie and Marsh discuss the highlights, or rather the extensive mid-range tones, of the E3 week that wasn’t, delight in Next Fest’s demos for Old Skies and Agent 64: Spies Never Die, and usher in the doom of humankind in Shadows of Forbidden Gods.
Geoff Keighley’s twitching automaton presents Summer GameFest aka Keigh-3. Enjoy it to the exact degree that Keighley permits, and no more.
Warhammer 40,000: Dark Tide is a promising firstperson cultist-squisher from the Vermintide devs.
Jamie’s also been enjoying the turnbased tactics game in the same universe: Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is the first CRPG in the 40K setting.
The Callisto Protocol is an incredibly violent sci-fi horror game which is probably unplayably scary for us, but has great mince animation.
Aliens: Dark Descent is a turnbased tactics game.
Routine is another space horror game – 10 years in development so far!
Fort Solis: another spooky space game.
Shoot guns transgressively in the future from the past in the future again in The Last of Us remake and its multiplayer spin-off.
Flashback 2 is a sequel to the rotoscoped platformer classic.
American Arcadia is a cinematic platformer in a Jetsons-y fake future.
A Plague Tale: Requiem
Overwatch 2. In the immortal words of that character who you love: “Boom, baby.”
Vin Diesel is in Ark 2, or at least his non-verbal vocalisations are.
Excellent hammers in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn.
Minecraft: Legends is an RTS from the very cool folks at Blackbird Interactive.
Gimme the blood sausage, Diablo 4!
BALL BUG BALL BUG BALL BUG BALL BUG BALL BUG BALL BUG
Fine, apparently it’s called Cocoon.
Mine ore to pay off your mortgage in Starfield.
Pentiment is a Name of the Rose-style murder mystery that looks like an illuminated manuscript.
Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts is a cool coffee table book that does what it says on the tin.
Old Skies is a cracking point-n-click from Wadjet Eye.
Agent 64: Spies Never Die is retro throwback FPS in the mould of GoldenEye.
Kyle Kushtel’s piece on game design conservatism, nostalgia and remakes.
Metal: Hellsinger is a fun rhythm-action retro shooter that goes for a death metal album cover style that may have gone off the boil.
Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer is an ironic retro shooter made by a fictional very-online edge-lord developer from Hypnospace Outlaw.
Anger Foot is a slick and maybe shallow FPS speed-run where you put the boot into animal-headed thugs.
The Silent Swan is a otherwordly open-world walking-simulator with a paucity of settings options.
Shadows of Forbidden Gods is a strategy game played from the perspective of a Lovecraftian mega-horror.
