Respawn Aim Fire

It’s that time of the month again! Let’s get ready to BARF!

For the past month both Chad and Holden got a chance to play Metro 2033 for April’s BARF (Backlog Accomplishments with Respawn and Friends!) and now get to share their final thoughts. Did they love it? Is it their favorite game of all time? Their least? All to be answered in Episode 58.

For Main Quest the lifelong friends look to E3 2018 to make some broad predictions on what we’ll see and what they think will happen at this year’s conference.

If all that wasn’t exciting enough already, Quest Log has Chad and Holden gawking at Animal Crossing Loot Boxes, gearing up to hopefully play Pokemon this November (fingers crossed!), guessing what could make Final Fantasy 7 Remake so special, and much more.

May’s BARF will be Super Mario RPG if you want to get a head start!

Chad needs a nap. Poor little guy…

We have a winner for April Photo Mode! Congrats to @SP00DERSK00TER!

This week on our Main Quest Chad and Holden share their thoughts on Digital Curation on online stores. Are they beneficial? Who do they benefit?

Quest Log is packed (yet again) with tons of stories to go over: Billy Mitchell is a big ole cheater (or is he?…he is), new Bioshock game, all the new games trying to get that Battle Royale gold, and finally round things up with God of War crushing it prerelease.

Unfortunately we also have our biggest week for Game Potatoes. Five of them! Five eye roll worthy stories…

But it’s okay because not everything is bad… Metro 2033 is our BARF this month! Next week the life long friends will share their thoughts on the game. If you want to be part of the conversation tweet us @RespawnAimFire or email us at [email protected]

PS5 coming this year?  In 2018?  Chad and Holden lay down the law and put this ridiculous rumor in it’s place in this week’s Main Quest. They continue to discuss how to find good rumors and avoid the clickbait that we all love so much.

SO MUCH NEWS THIS WEEK!

We talk about all the game announcements from Spider-Man, Boss Key’s new game Radical Heights, Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Our Quest Log this week also sees us discussing PUBG’s copyright claims, GTA V surpassing everything in revenue, and the groundbreaking announcements at the relevant and necessary Inside Xbox.

Stay tuned in for our BARF (Backlog Accomplishments with Respawn and Friends) for the month, Metro 2033, which we will be talking about at the end of April.

Ahoy matey! No one liked Sea of Thieves, but you’re sure going to love this episode of Respawn Aim Fire.

Holden takes you through the Leaderboard of games from March including: Ni No Kuni 2, Far Cry 5, and Sea of Thieves.

Speaking of Sea of Thieves, in Main Quest this week Chad and Holden run down their thoughts on how Sea of Thieves’ negative perception will influence Xbox exclusives going forward.

In more positive updates, Spyro the Dragon seems to be returning, Shadow of War removes microtransactions, PSVR gets a price drop, and much more is covered in the Quest Log.

If you’d like a free gift card all it’s going to cost you is photoshopping images of Chad’s sexy photos available in the link below!

We need to BARF!

For March’s Back Log Accomplishments with Respawn and Friends Chad and Holden discuss Far Cry 4. Did they like? Did they finish it? All exciting points of discussion for our monthly game.

Quest Log sees us venturing into the Sea of Thieves and find out what gamers are saying about it. Playstation triumphs in February leaving Xbox and Switch in the dust. For some reason Atari VCS is back in the news and we can’t wait to tell you all about it! Once we figure that out at least…

Then for our Main Quest of the week we go back 20 years ago to 1998 a contender for the best year in gaming.

Thanks to Fehzd and KGB SPDR for sending in our interrogatives! Holden..stop sending us your questions. We don’t care what you have to say.

If you want to get ahead on next month’s BARF we will be playing Metro 2033.

We got more Nintendo, bitches!!!! Beyond our Main Quest featuring a discussion on the Future of Mobile Games, Chad and Holden also rundown the Nindies event. More importantly we explain why Lumines is the best game ever. YES IT IS CHAD!

Lots of new games to discuss in our Quest Log from Shadow of the Tomb Raider to Lego Incredibles. EA has finally shown off the revamped progression and microtransaction system in Star Wars Battlefront 2. Ataribox is still perplexing, but you can preorder! And Ubisoft has been saved from the Vivendi takeover.

Chad geeks out over Bayonetta and Moss VR on this week’s Playtime.

Another reminder that next week Chad and Holden will finally be discussing Far Cry 4 (which hopefully they’ve played by then) in March’s BARF.

HEY EVERYONE IT’S EPISODE 52! WE DID IT!

We were going to discuss the future of mobile games this week, but then Nintendo and Gabe Newell decided to be notable and take the spot light. But that’s okay because now Chad and Holden both get to scream about a new Smash Bros game!

Our Photo Mode Winners have been announced so if you won you should have been contacted via a direct message. Congrats to the winners!

Another reminder that Far Cry 4 is our BARF (Back Log Accomplishments with Respawn and Friends) for the month of March.

In Playtime this week Chad hated on Kirby because he has no heart, but then redeems himself when sharing his thoughts on Florence a heart felt new mobile game. Holden plays a PC game? What? Holden played Civilization 6 and still has no idea what he’s doing. Exciting, we know.

Next week we promise to chat about the future of mobile games, unless Nintendo or Gabe come back that is…

Speaking of Gabe Newell and Valve here’s a link to the video Holden mentioned in this week’s episode:

Welcome back to Respawn Aim Fire! It’s only our second episode under our new name and we’re already going to the future to see what video games have in store for us. What major hurdles does the industry have to tackle? How will we play games in the future? How will we buy them? Chad and Holden discuss the answers to all the questions.

Review Round Up has also been renamed Leaderboard. Every first episode of the month Holden will run down some highlight games from the previous month and let us know the industry had to say about them. This week the games are Metal Gear Survive, Payday 2 for Switch, and Moss.

Our Quest Log sees Chad and Holden going over PS5 backwards compatibility, Bethesda’s E3 event, Switch user reviews, and much more.

Another reminder about Photo Mode! Be sure to send us a photo of you listening to Respawn Aim Fire by March 11th. There’s a great chance you’ll win $10 on a gaming platform of your choice! Wooo!

Welcome to Respawn Aim Fire! We are retiring the SplitScreen Gaming Podcast name and moving on to bigger and better things!

Game of the Month has been updated to Backlog Accomplishments with Respawn and Friends (or maybe there’s a better way of putting that...) where we discuss February’s game: The Surge.

Thanks to @FehzdIRL for asking two questions about Switch’s competition against PS4, and Xbox One which were discussed in this week’s Main Quest.

Our Main Quest this week sees us looking back on Switch’s first year. Chad and Holden discuss what Switch means in the context of gaming history. We also look to the future to see where Nintendo might take their hybrid console.

Quest Log features Konami’s questionable microtransactions, Super Smash Bros. rumors, ESRB’s response to loot boxes, and more!
