The Impossible Mission Omni-Feed! VideoGame Podcast!

No, we don't talk like that in the episode. Yes, we have fully embraced the dark side... of clickbait. Then again this is simultaneously episode 100 and 83, so all the rules are off the table. I'll stop bringing that up after this episode, promise.

In the first half of the show we talk about news. Specifically that clickbait title, Hideo Kojima, Dead Space, Silent Hill and loads more. My favourite part is when I call of Todd Howard out for his d*ck move of publishing an announcement trailer for Elder Scrolls 6 (VI), 3 years before bothering to start to make the game. Classy of me, that, I thought. Then in the back half it's the latest edition of the titular podcast itself. On which, we look at the recent revelation that PlayStation doesn't really do all that well by indie game developers. However, unlike other facets on the online content world - we look at it with this mysterious force called... balance. Perish the thought internet. Sarcasm aside, it is a good episode that looks at the bigger picture for indie games and their place on console store fronts.

Somehow we can be on episode 82 but 1 off our 100th podcast. The internet is weird.

This week, we collect together the first news episode post-e3 on which we talk about the few news stories to slither from underneath the gargantuan heft of e3. Not that this episode totally escapes the electronic entertainment expo of youtube playlists. No, we take a good amount of time to talk about whether or not it made a successful return. Then in the second half, we talk about some games we have played recently which includes the like of the masterful Ninja Gaiden Collection and the metal detecting shenanigans of the magnificent truffle pigs.

There's more, of course, there is, but you don't need me to explain everything. Those two northern scamps on the podcast can do that themselves.

As a final apology for my laxness in getting the podcasts out, not only are you getting the latest news trash a day early. You are also getting the next episode of Impossible Mission about a week early too. In the future, we'll try to stick to this and get episodes out on a Monday.

Anyway. In the first half - we have a news trash. On which we talk about all the leaky susan's in videogame press and all the rumours they keep dropping. After which we have three stories on the bounce about members of the video game old guard either leaving or rejoining somewhere and more. And because all the trailers have ran for their nearest digital showcase, we have done something different. We talk about games we would like to see more of in this upcoming summer of games announcements, a concept which one Rob got completely wrong and ended up banging on about comic books or something. 

Then, in the back half. It's a relatively simple concept for one of our hypothetical chats. China. They haven't impacted the video game industry yet, we talk about what might happen when they do. They are a sleeping video game giant, or dragon.

All up to date now. Won't be making the mistake of forgetting to upload episodes to the podcast feed. My bad. My really bad. This week we collect a new trash and an impossible mission. We probably should rename this feed news trash weekly games blast or something, it belongs to news trash more than it belongs to impossible mission, these days.

In the news trash half, we talk about the sony investor relations document, more EA ultimate team sneakiness, timesplitters, square enix going through their emo phase, netflix wanting more 'games', and more. Then in the back half, we talk about something we did a episode or two back. There was a story where Ubi Soft said they are going to simutanously do less and more free to play games. After we figured out that their statement was just corporate boggins, we decided to pounce on the idea of Ubi Soft, in fact, doing more FTP stuff and digged deep into that and The Division heartland. Enjoy.

Just one more then we are all caught up. This episode is a twofer, collecting May's Marmalade and an episode of News Trash - meaning this is twice the episode.

In the first half, we have news trash, on which the realisation that this semi-conductor shortage is real serious hits - why? because Nintendo is feeling the pinch, Sony has loads of ps5 exclusive buns in the oven, Xbox is hitting China and much more. Plus a truly evil trailer for Fatal Frame or Project Zero, I don't know, names are weird.

 

Then in the back half, we have games to talk about. This includes what is either a nostalgia headache or Gloryhole in Narita Boy, abstract weirdness of two unique flavourings with Genesis Noir and Buildings have feelings too. Bookending all that indie is Rob's flirtations with GamePass in Sunset Overdrive & Star Wars: Fallen Order. Oooh, sexy times.

FATAL FRAME #podernfamily

Two more episodes today, again, I cannot apologise enough for not keeping up to date with these episodes. I am a bad podcast producer, bad. No treats for me today.

In this news trash solo episode we talk about the high price of digital PS games, Xbox not making any profit on any machine, discord to PlayStation in 2022, e3 steaming ahead, resident evil 7 was apparently too scary, and more.

Two in one day is probably enough for today, more new episodes will go live tomorrow so we will be up to date by Thursday - good fortune willing.

In this episode, we harp on about 7.8 million PS5's in the wild, PlayStation investing more in exclusives, Xbox doing much better, EA being their usual sh*tbird selves, there's a hunger for socially responsible games, Konami is actually doing stuff, and much more. Including us waxing lovingly about the most adorable Japanese promotional campaign for Resident Evil Village. Give us a series and inject it into our veins.

Bit of a crunched up blast of trash, apologies, life sometimes gets on top of you and tasks get overlooked and forgotten - this is one such time. Sorry, after this salvo of NT, it won't happen again. Fingers Crossed.

In this episode, Rob and Prob talk about Playstation Reversal, "Playstation Plus Video Pass" Xbox Dropping Xbox Live Requirement for Free to Play Online Games, Olympic VR eSports, ageing gamers, Assassins Creed Mr Men Crossovers, Ubi Soft and Blockchain sitting in a tree, Amazon's Lord of the Rings MMO being cancelled, shocking CDPR red profit, Twitch growth (which is an odd statement) and the new Mortal Kombat movie. Of course, there is more - it's news trash we rarely stay on topic.

This time on the Omni-feed, we collect April Games Marmalade and the latest News Trash.

In Marmalade we look at Paradise Lost as well as some older titles and oddities. Part of which includes Rob just wrecking Donut County for Prob. Something which I make absolutely no apologies about - if someone presents an open goal like that. It's just wasteful to not make some jokes at its expense. 

Then in the back half, we talk about Loot Boxes, Six Days to Fallujah, E3, Jason Schrier powering himself with the tears of Playstation fanboys, CSGO in trouble with the filth, Twitch records and a nice little chat about the gorgeous indie title, Harold Halibut, to round out a pretty negative video games week.

PATREON

News Trash doesn't have solo billing this week, it shares the centre stage with an episode of Impossible Mission in which we totally don't get carried away about the fallout of the Sony PS3/Vita/PSP store closures. Nope. Not a jot of exaggeration or anything, no, not us, no sir-ee.

Any-way.

Now that we've totally convinced you of that, we have to kick things off with a news week that isn't quite as heavy as last week. Weirder? Yeah, for sure, there's just less of it. We have more on Sony's store cockup, in-app purchases boom, academic studies pointing out what we all already knew, Activision-Blizzard being Activision-Blizzard, Ar madness, and the unlikeliest of contenders to stop a global games cheat-ring.
