Remap Radio

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is one of the best games of the year. Naturally, Ubisoft has disbanded the development team. Nonetheless, Remap Radio pushes on, with Patrick, Janet, Cado, and Rob also discussing Netflix shutting down a big budget studio, before chattinga about the games they’ve been playing, including Neva, Tower of Dreams, Alan Wake II: The Lake House, and more. In The Question Bucket, we further unpack the ending to the original Life Is Strange.

With Rob out for the week, it’s left to Patrick, Cado, and Janet to consider Destiny getting a mobile game, the massive data leak at Pokémon developer Game Freak, and what to make of social platforms monetarily rewarding online figures exhibiting the most toxic behavior possible. We’ve also played a bunch of the new Atlus RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, the first two chapters of Life is Strange: Double Exposure, the opening hours of Neva, and dabbled in Steam Next Fest. In The Question Bucket, we ponder the existence of “frankenstein remasters” in games.

It’s spooky season, but there’s nothing spooky about the announcement of a sequel to Alien: Isolation. Rob, Patrick, and Cado try to figure out what a sequel to one of the horror greats might look like, before turning their confused attention to the future of Halo. Elsewhere, Patrick has been exploring the spookiest town of all in the new Silent Hill 2 remake, while Rob continues to plum the depths of Frostpunk 2. Finally, Cado has been playing Mexico 1921: A Deep Slumber, and we get into a shockingly long aside about Rob’s latest audio purchase.

A few weeks into the latest NFL season, Patrick and Rob aren’t sure what to make of their Chicago Bears. Is it good when your offensive line is going viral for falling on the ground? Are your most important players supposed to have a “team meeting” during “communication week” with the offensive player caller? Why, for god’s sake, can’t this team just be normal for once?

It’s a busy week of news, as Patrick, Rob, Janet, and Cado convene to discuss Sony’s latest State of Play, the delay of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, the latest on Concord, and more. Plus, Janet and Patrick finished Astro Bot, Rob’s continued to pull apart Frostpunk 2, and Cado’s compelled by Star Wars Outlaws. Oh, and despite agreeing no one else should probably do it, Patrick beat The Plucky Squire. And in The Question Bucket? Oh, let’s get agile, baby.

Rob, Patrick, and Cado are psyched to be joined by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who’s also the author of an upcoming book about the complicated legacy and uncertain future of Blizzard. With Janet traveling, the rest of the group mulls the strange blowup at Annapurna Interactive and the equally strange and crypto-infused return of Flappy Bird. Both Patrick and Jason have spent time with the audacious UFO 50, while Jason, sadly, hasn’t exactly been blown away by The Lucky Squire. Rob, meanwhile, is busy managing a never ending winter in Frostpunk 2. At the very end, we indulge in some light sports, given that Jason is a long suffering fan of the Jets.
